O'Neill, James (1849-1920) Irish-born American actor chiefly remembered for his most famous role, that of Edmund Dantes, the Count of Monte Cristo, and as the father of the playwright Eugene O'Neill. Born on November 15, 1849 in Kilkenny, County Kilkenny, Ireland, James was brought to America at about the age of five and raised in poverty in Buffalo and Cincinnati. In 1867, age the age of 22, he gave up work in a clothing store to become a supernumerary (walk-on) at a Cincinnati theatre during an engagement there by Edwin Forrest. He served his acting apprenticeship over the next few years, working in various cities. During this time, he had the great fortune to work with the great stars Edwin Forrest, then at the end of his career, and in a supporting role with Joseph Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle, Jefferson's signature play. He spent a couple of seasons as the leading man at the Academy of Music in Cleveland, where a critic labeled him "the patron saint of the matinee girls."
When in 1872, James Hubert McVicker, Chicago's leading impresario in the nineteenth century, invited O'Neill to join the highly regarded McVicker's stock company, he ascended to the top ranks of the American stage. McVicker's son-in-law happened to be Edwin Booth, the leading American classical actor in the last half of the nineteenth century. With his own theatre in financial difficulty, Booth took the opportunity to accept his father-in-law's open invitation to guest star in Chicago. Booth's arrival in Chicago in March 1873 led to the greatest moments of James O'Neill acting career. Booth offered O'Neill the role of Macduff to his Macbeth. Critics and audiences were only lukewarm about Booth but went wild over O'Neill's performance. Later that month, O'Neill played Laertes to Booth's Hamlet. When Julius Caesar was presented, Booth alternately played Marc Antony, Cassius and Brutus, and O'Neill stepped in as needed as Marc Antony or Brutus. When McVicker imported Adelaide Neilson to play Juliet, O'Neill was cast as her Romeo. She told the press at the time that she was "fortunate to have so excellent a Romeo."
O'Neill began the 1873-74 season at McVicker's playing Macbeth opposite the formidable Charlotte Cushman's Lady Macbeth. In 1874, when Booth's personal life was at its lowest, he returned to McVicker's for a two month stay. He performed Othello, and offered to share the two lead roles of Othello and Iago with James O'Neill. Booth said of O'Neill Othello: "You couldn't have done it better." In his son's play Long Day's Journey into Night, the fictional James Tyrone describes that moment with Booth as "That night was the high spot in my career." Though he went on to many other important roles, there was no more thrilling time for James O'Neill than when he was twenty-five, at the height of his powers, dueling night after night with the great Edwin Booth on stage in Chicago.
His work with McVicker's earned him the chance to create his own company, which he did in the fall of 1874 at Hooley's Theatre. The following Spring, Hooley's company toured to San Francisco where his Chicago admiration was seconded. After a year on the West coast he received an invitation to play in New York as a member of the Union Square Theatre, the foremost stock company in the city. Under the aegis of A.M. Palmer he remained there for two years where he excelled as Pierre Frochard in The Two Orphans. In 1877 he left for San Francisco, where during his three seasons there he played numerous parts, including that of Jesus Christ in Salmi Morse's controversial Passion Play. The role which caused local authorities to arrest him under ordinances forbidding impersonation of the Diety.
In 1883, he first appeared in New York in the role with which he was identified ever afterward, Edmund Dantes in The Count of Monte Cristo. Although he subsequently played such roles as D'Artagnan in The Musketeers (1899) and the title part in a revival of Virginius (1907), his public demanded only his Monte Cristo and he obliged. For a time in his career when he appeared opposite the great stars of the day, it appeared that O'Neill would attain similar stature, that he would become Booth's successor. His promise faded, however particularly after he had, as his son said, 'the good bad luck' to find a gold mine in Monte Cristo. Initially O'Neill, who had suffered a hungry childhood, rejoiced in his prosperity as the Dumas hero, but as the decades piled up and the audiences flocked to see him only when he played Edmond Dantes, the role became the straightjacket that gradually diminished his talent. The role eventually earned for O'Neill nearly $1,000,000 for more than 6,000 performance throughout the United Sates over a 30-year period. Fragments of his history are woven into his son's devasting family portrait, Long Day's Journey into Night.
He was a florid, emotive actor of a supercharged romantic school. His adherence to this older, passing style led to problems when he was called in to direct the American premier of Before Breakfast, an early work by his son Eugene.
James O'Neill life was haunted by several affairs. Once with a young married actress Louise Hawthorne, who along with her husband were members of the Hooley's Theatre Company in Chicago. On June 27, 1876, Louise plummeted to her death from her sixth floor room window into the interior courtyard of Chicago's Tremont House. Speculation and rumors followed that Louise Hawthorne had killed herself because James O'Neill wanted the relationship over. Whether suicide or accident, Louise's death undoubtedly haunted O'Neill the rest of his life. The second affair came while he was acting in Cleveland in 1871. He had taken up with a young actress Nettie Walsh, and the two lived together there. After James moved to Chicago, Nettie occasionally visited. Before James left for San Francisco, she came to Chicago with a little boy, claiming him to be O'Neill's son. James vehemently denied he was the father and refused Nettie the financial help she asked. When she went back to Cleveland, where she was living with another man, she began calling herself Mrs. James O'Neill. After James married Ella Quinlan, the daughter of a friend of O'Neill in Cleveland, in June of 1877, James embarked on a new tour with the Union Square Theatre Company in a play called Forbidden Fruit and brought his wife along. But when the O'Neill arrived in Chicago in September, they were met with a shock. Nettie Walsh had filed suit for divorce, claiming that she and James had been married in Cleveland, and that her son Alfred was the result of their union. Nettie Walsh's suit went to trial in Chicago Superior Court in October. In November, the judge ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove marriage, deciding against Nettie, but ordering James to pay Nettie's attorney fees and $100 a month in support. But the affair kept coming back to shadow the O'Neill's. In 1881, when James was once again appearing at Hooley's in Chicago, Nettie appeared at the stage door with her son, demanding more support. At one point, James and Ella offered to adopt the child, but nothing came of it. In 1897, when James' son Eugene O'Neill was in boarding school, his erstwhile brother again entered the family's life. Alfred who had kept the O'Neill name for himself and brought suit to legitimize himself and clear his mother's name wanted $20,000 in damages. The case was in and out of court for three years before James finally ended it by offering Alfred a settlement.
James O'Neill and Joseph Haworth were each stars in their own right and as a consequence they never acted together. But they were contemporaries, professional rivals, and friends. Their respective careers were compared in their own time, and they bear comparing now.
Born in 1849, O'Neill was six years older than Haworth. Both men had to go work at an early age to support a single mother and younger siblings. Also, they both had remarkable ascensions artistically and professionally. Edwin Booth and John McCullough were mentors to young O'Neill and young Haworth, and they predicted great careers in the classics for each of them.
That they wound up having very different careers can be traced to several causes. First, O'Neill's childhood was marked by paternal abandonment, grinding poverty, and no formal education whatsoever. Haworth's hardships began at age ten, after his father's death during the Civil War, and never involved the near-starvation that young O'Neill suffered.
O'Neill was haunted by a fear of the poor house and this led him to turn his back on the classics and devote himself to performing the cash cow Monte Cristo. Joe had his demons too, but they took the form of an artistic guilty conscience. Whenever, he found himself acting in melodrama, drawing room comedy or exclusively in one part, he would break free and return to the great Shakespearian roles.
Contemporary journalists noted this difference. Joe was never as wealthy as James O'Neill or as popular, but he was certainly more respected in his time. Amy Leslie in her book Some Players devotes a chapter to O'Neill and Haworth, writing charmingly of their respective relationships with John McCullough.
And although both men were protégés of McCullough, it was O'Neill who was in the true McCullough mode with his barrel chest and heroic acting style. Haworth was smaller and slighter, resembling Edwin Booth and acting in the classical mode. They both were matinee idols and heartthrobs but their appeal was very different. This must also partly account for the very different directions that their careers took.

It was a playoff atmosphere at the ACC on Thursday night as the Raptors ran a triple overtime marathon against the Washington Wizards. The Raptors played their longest game in franchise history in a game that lasted 3 hours and 32 minutes in a 134-129 loss to the Washington Wizards. The game was an exciting affair from start to finish including a windmill dunk from Amir Johnson in the fourth quarter.
What was better than Amir's windmill? The Dwight Buycks shimmy.


New analysis from Searchmetrics has shown that social shares can have a significant impact on search ranking. Unsurprisingly, Google's own social site and its +1s had the most significant correlation coefficient of +0.4, but Facebook social shares were close behind with a correlation of +0.34. Twitter and Pinterest were slightly lower, with correlations of +0.28 and +0.29. We recently posted our own blog about why your business needs Google+, so we'd like to thank Searchmetrics for having our back!

It seems you can cram an awful lot into six seconds, as Twitter's video app Vine is increasing in popularity month upon month. With more than 13 million users, the number of tweets containing a Vine link has risen from five per second in April to nine every second in the first three weeks of June. Interestingly, branded Vines are four times more likely to be shared than other video ads, suggesting that Vine could be a useful addition to social media and content marketing strategies.
Europe's largest marketing event hit the Olympia Grand once again last week, with an impressive selection of speakers, exhibitors and conferences held across a two day period. For more information about the highlights of the event, visit marketingweeklive.co.uk for some great videos and round up blogs.


HBO chose to tease that the announcement was coming in advance, then drop it on air prior to the third-season premiere of its crime drama "True Detective".
But which Sunday in April? However, fans have a different opinion on this one, and according to them, this is not likely to happen, and we will get to see one of the other Targaryens to take over the control of Westeros, and it will be because of her infertility.
He called the final season of Game of Thrones a "spectacle" and said the showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss understood that the bar was high and "they've exceeded the bar". And while we can't imagine the show topping a battle scene like in "Battle of the Bastards", fans have been promised some of the biggest battle sequences that have ever been filmed across television or movies. A non-overlapping prequel series has already been cast and should debut on HBO within the next year or two. In a new video, Game of Thrones YouTuber Alt Shift X - one of the best YouTubers in this subject area, if you're looking for something to do with the next couple dozen hours of your life - put together a video exploring some of these faraway corners.
The eighth and final season of HBO's award-winning and record-breaking fantasy drama Game Of Thrones - which first premiered on April 17, 2011 - will air on Sunday, April # at 9 p.m. EST. "It's an incredibly emotional haunting bittersweet final season and I think it honors very much what [author George R.R. Martin] set out to do - which is flipping this kind of story on its head".

If you can help someone, do it.
If you have to go out of your way for them, still do it.
It's easy to ignore, but choose not to.
If we don't want to see the poverty that surrounds us any longer, do your bit.
It could involve money, it also might not.
If we stand still, the world stands still.


Starcraft, Me and the SEA.: Holiday at the Bay.
Just a short post about my holiday so far. When down the waterfront today and there was seal just sleeping on next to the footpath. Also had a blue penguin swimming around in the water near it. I like to think they were friends in a Disney animal buddy sort of way. Even if it was far more likely that the seal was taking a break from hunting in the penguin, and the penguin was just playing escape the seal.
Unfortunately I don't have a camera, but this is the type of seals we have around my city.
Seals are the cutest things ever, next to those kittens with cat Down's Syndrome.
I wish you had a camera! I'd have liked to see pictures!
Must be awesome! keep us posted man. too bad you dont have a camera.
You should buy a camera!
Great picture within the post! Excellent to look at! Keep up the great work because you're excellent at it!
Dawwww little guy!! You should always bring a camera around!! Those little guys are awesome!


For years, most pharmacists couldn't give customers even a clue about an easy way to save money on prescription drugs. But the restraints are coming off.
When the cash price for a prescription is less than what you would pay using your insurance plan, pharmacists will no longer have to keep that a secret.
President Donald Trump was expected to sign two bills Wednesday that ban "gag order" clauses in contracts between pharmacies and insurance companies or pharmacy benefit managers — those firms that negotiate prices for employers and insurers with drugstores and drugmakers. Such provisions prohibit pharmacists from telling customers when they can save money by paying the pharmacy's lower cash price instead of the price negotiated by their insurance plan.
The bills — one for Medicare and Medicare Advantage beneficiaries and another for commercial employer-based and individual policies— were passed by Congress in nearly unanimous votes last month. A spokesman for Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) said her office had been told the president would sign the bills Wednesday. The White House declined to comment.
"Americans deserve to know the lowest drug price at their pharmacy, but 'gag clauses' prevent your pharmacist from telling you!" Trump wrote on Twitter three weeks ago, shortly before the Senate voted on the bills. "I support legislation that will remove gag clauses." The change was one of the proposals included in Trump's blueprint to cut prescription drug prices issued in May.
Ronna Hauser, vice president of payment policy and regulatory affairs at the National Community Pharmacists Association, said many members of her group "say a pharmacy benefit manager will call them with a warning if they are telling patients it's less expensive" without insurance. She said pharmacists could be fined for violating their contracts and even dropped from insurance networks.
According to research published in JAMA in March, people with Medicare Part D drug insurance overpaid for prescriptions by $135 million in 2013. Copayments in those plans were higher than the cash price for nearly 1 in 4 drugs purchased in 2013. For 12 of the 20 most commonly prescribed drugs, patients overpaid by more than 33 percent.
After the president signs the legislation affecting commercial insurance contracts, gag order provisions will immediately be prohibited, said a spokesman for Collins, who co-authored the bill. The bill affecting Medicare beneficiaries wouldn't take effect until Jan. 1, 2020.
But there's a catch: Under the new legislation, pharmacists will not be required to tell patients about the lower cost option. If they don't, it's up to the customer to ask.
The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, a trade group representing pharmacy benefit managers, said gag orders are increasingly rare. The association supported the legislation. Some insurers have also said their contracts don't include these provisions. Yet two members of Congress have encountered them at the pharmacy counter.
At a hearing on the gag order ban, Collins said she watched a couple leave a Bangor, Maine, pharmacy without their prescription because they couldn't afford the $111 copayment and the pharmacist did not advise them about saving money by paying directly for the medicine. When she asked him how often that happens, he said every day.
"Banning gag clauses will make it easier for more Americans to afford their prescription drugs because pharmacists will be able to proactively notify consumers if a less expensive option may be available," she said last week.
When Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) went to a Michigan pharmacy to pick up a prescription recently, she was told it would cost $1,300. "After you peeled me off the ceiling, I called the doctor and screamed and talked to the pharmacist," she recalled during a hearing last month. "I'm much more aggressive than many in asking questions," she admitted, and ended up saving $1,260 after she learned she could get an equivalent drug for $40.
While the legislation removes gag orders, it doesn't address how patients who pay the cash price outside their insurance plan can apply that expense toward meeting their policy's deductible.
But for Medicare beneficiaries there is a little-known rule — not found in the "Medicare & You" handbook or on its website —that helps people with Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage coverage. If they pay the lower cash price for a covered drug at a pharmacy that participates in their insurance plan and then submit the proper documentation to their plan, insurers must count it toward patients' out-of-pocket expenses.
And beneficiaries don't have to wait until the gag order ban takes effect in two years.
The Medicare rule also says that if a senior asks about a lower price for a prescription, the pharmacist can answer.
Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), a pharmacist who sponsored the Medicare gag order bill, said he wasn't surprised by the bipartisan support for the legislation. "High prescription drug costs affect everyone," he said.
KHN's coverage of prescription drug development, costs and pricing is supported in part by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation.
Consumers signing up for health insurance on the Affordable Care Act marketplace should double check how prescriptions are covered.
Makers of brand-name drugs called out by the Trump administration for potentially stalling generic competition have hiked their prices by double-digit percentages since 2012 and cost Medicare and Medicaid nearly $12 billion in 2016, a Kaiser Health News analysis has found.
Facing a rising death toll from drug overdoses, state lawmakers across the country are testing a strategy to boost treatment for opioid addicts: Force drug manufacturers and their distributors to pay for it.

Japanese fireworks are some of the best in the world. Each year, at the end of summer, the Omagari Fireworks Display takes place in Daisen, Japan. It started in 1910 and has been drawing crowds ever since. Leading Japanese pyrotechnicians join this event to showcase their talents in, not only Creative Fireworks, but chrysanthemum-type fireworks, and daytime fireworks that utilize colorful smoke in the sky. Only highly skilled entrants are allowed to participate. This event is considered the "Olympics of Pyrotechnics" for Japanese display companies. It brings crowds of over 700,000 people and tickets for the event are highly sought after. It is a great festival for the community and pyrotechnicians are honored to be a part of this exclusive event.
Although you may think this event is just fireworks, it takes much more to produce these displays. The fireworks are perfectly choreographed to music and flow in a manner that produces beautiful shows. Extensive work is put into these fireworks displays, especially when making the shells. Japanese shell manufacturers carefully produce each and every shell by hand. This makes Japanese shell quality hard to beat. The labor that goes into each shell and display is simply amazing. The Omagari Fireworks Display is a true example of what fireworks can be and the passion put into this industry. For a more in depth look check out this website!!

Q: I have tried to use my equipment but it's too uncomfortable. And my wife complains about the noise. What's the solution?
A: Most people adjust to the newness in 2 weeks and then report greatly improved sleep. If you've given yourself 14 nights to adjust the chances are your mask is not the right one. The noise bothering your wife is probably due to air escaping around your mask. Oxygen Support Systems provides the right mask or nasal pillows to insure both comfort and long-term compliance for CPAP users if the proper mask is used. Contact the experienced mask consultants at Oxygen Support Systems for the truly right fit.
Q: My doctor wants me to have a sleep study. What's with that?
Q: I have friends who rave about their breathing machine that has improved their quality of sleep. What is it?
A: Probably a CPAP device. CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. The device is a small blower that helps keep your airway inflated when connected by a hose and a sufficiently air-tight mask that fits over the person's nose and possibly mouth as well. CPAP machines for the treatment of Sleep Apnea have been proven to result in satisfying, life-changing sleep.

Vermilion Catholic pushing the pace this season
Trey Labat
Brady Thomas has been really happy with his team this summer.
The first-year head coach and former Ragin' Cajuns quarterback has been buoyed in his first offseason in charge of the Screamin' Eagles by his team's voracious work ethic.
"We don't have an athletic period like other schools, so we had to do our workouts before school," Thomas said. "It's at 6 a.m. and they were in there 20 minutes early and ready to go. We go three times a week and they were asking if they could up to four or five times.
"I believe you get most of your development and growth done during the offseason."
The workout program has been a bit of change for Vermilion Catholic, as Thomas said for the last couple of seasons, the team hasn't had an offseason strength program in place.
Thomas, with the help of strength coach Jordan McCoy, installed a weight program this offseason and the Screamin' Eagles have reaped the benefits.
"We did spring ball for two weeks and are starting to get the new terminology installed," Thomas said. "I've been happy with how they've been coming together as a team."
Thomas said to the regular fan, the Screamin' Eagles' offense wouldn't look too different on the field.
But Thomas wants to emphasize speed this season and push the pace offensively.
"We're going to be no huddle and we want to snap the ball before the defense has time to get set. It is one of the biggest things I preach," Thomas said. "We're going to do whatever the game dictates with passing and running, but it's going to be predicated on speed."
At the helm of the fast-paced offensive engine will be returning quarterback J.T. Lege.
Thomas said Lege has a tremendous arm, something he showed off last season, but was working to clean up his mechanics.
"He's one of the kids that I liked watching (last season)," Thomas said. "He's got a good arm, but he's a little raw everywhere else. I loved getting to work with him and start fine-tuning his mechanics."
Thomas said not only have the Screamin' Eagles worked on Lege's mechanics, but also turning him into more of a leader on the field and in the locker room.
"He's a great kid in the classroom and the community. We've worked with him to be more vocal and he has responded," Thomas said. "He's called player-only practices this summer and if something isn't going right in the weight room he'll call people out and make them start over."

Living Lollie: The best chocolate banana bread!
The best chocolate banana bread!
Delicious chocolate chip banana bread. Yummm.
It's been a rough road since my fall last June, but with the help of my two sous chefs (Miz Jess and Mizz Em), i've finally cooked something and am blogging about it. Yay, and thank you both for your help. You came over to swim, and I put you to work. But seriously, I wouldn't have done this without your help!
So a couple weeks ago i had a delicious banana bread and Colleen said it's really easy and the reason she thinks it's so good is it's made with buttermilk. I found this recipe online and thought it sounds like Colleen's, so i'll give it a try. The only thing i did different, is i used whole wheat pastry flour instead of regular baking flour, and then my sous chefs convinced me a little dark chocolate couldn't hurt. Yes, we could have opted for nuts, but why use nuts when you have good dark chocolate? One other thing... next time i see no reason to use the stand mixer. It would have been just fine to use a large bowl and fork to mix it. I think it came out delicious! Dense, but not too dense; Nice banana aroma but not too much banana; and a hint of chocolate, without over doing it!
Preheat oven to 3258° F.
Spray or grease one 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Blend together the eggs, buttermilk, oil and bananas.
Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Add to the banana mixture and stir in nuts, chocolate or raisins. Mix well.
Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
And remember... next time you have bananas that are overly ripe, don't throw them out... make banana bread.
Sounds yummy, but I would add the nuts. Not a major chocolate fan, but love nuts! I also use over ripe bananas for banana pancakes.
Yummm... banana pancakes sound delicious, but i never make pancakes.
I am still enjoying it and it will be a week tomorrow. Still fresh tasting! I would call it a "comfort dessert"....it is not overly sweet and the texture is wonderful. Great end to any meal.

1st day of Penn Station repairs: crowds, delays, mostly OK
By: The Associated Press	July 10, 2017	Comments Off on 1st day of Penn Station repairs: crowds, delays, mostly OK
For hundreds of thousands of commuters heading into New York on Monday, the first day of disruptions due to extensive repair work at Penn Station brought some confusion, a bit of overcrowding and some delays yet, apparently, no major problems at the start of what figures to be an arduous two-month period.
As the crowd of rail commuters heading into the country's busiest train station grew, so did the confusion. Some seemed bewildered by a new routine devised to accommodate the major repairs to the station's tracks and signals.
"A lot of confusion and too many people gathered in one space," Lex Marshall, 35, of Morristown, New Jersey, said at New Jersey Transit's Hoboken Terminal. "Everybody's just bumping into each other, pushing each other, to get to their destination."
Jesse Krakow, of South Orange, New Jersey, who transferred through Hoboken, described being packed "like sardines" on a Port Authority Trans-Hudson train that stopped several times between stations as it waited for other trains up ahead. He said his trip took about 45 minutes longer than normal.
Elsewhere, some took advantage of alternative modes of transportation put in place by the Long Island Rail Road and NJ Transit to accommodate overflow due to reduced rush-hour train service.
The work was initially scheduled for nights and weekends over a few years, but two recent derailments and other problems that spotlighted the station's aging infrastructure convinced Amtrak to accelerate the schedule.
For commuters on the Long Island Rail Road and NJ Transit — as well as Amtrak passengers who ride between Boston and Washington, D.C. — the Penn Station work means fewer trains during peak periods.
The station handles twice as many daily train movements, about 1,300, as it did then. Roughly 600,000 people pass through each day on the three railroads and on New York City subways.
NJ Transit spokesman Charles Ingoglia declared the morning commute a success,; but said there was room for improvement, including directing people to a less crowded PATH entrance.
"We're pleased with what we saw," he said. "Our customers seem to have done their homework."
Several commuters arriving at Penn Station said their ride was more crowded than usual but mostly on time.
"It's hard to imagine Amtrak, the Long Island Rail Road and New Jersey Transit doing a good job, but from my limited vantage point things seem to be running relatively smoothly," said Howard Bernstein, an attorney from Long Beach on Long Island who took the Long Island Rail Road to Manhattan to transfer to a PATH train to his job in Jersey City.
Rhonda Freeman of Brentwood, also on Long Island, said she left earlier than normal to get to work and was able to get a seat.
"It was crowded," she said. "I felt bad for the regular people who had to stand."
The work is scheduled to last through the end of August. When it's completed, rail riders will benefit from increased reliability from the up-to-date equipment in and around the station, but could still fall prey to other problems, such as electrical wire failures in the tunnel between New York and New Jersey, and signal and track problems in northern New Jersey east of Newark.
Those problems will have to wait for the completion of the Gateway project, which calls for building a second rail tunnel under the Hudson River, repairing damage in the existing tunnel from 2012's Superstorm Sandy and making substantial improvements on the New Jersey side and in Penn Station.
That work is expected to take at least another decade to complete, although federal funding for the project is in question after President Donald Trump proposed changing a federal grant program that was supposed to be used for it.
Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer and Cory Booker called on the Trump administration to honor that commitment at a news conference near the spot on Manhattan's west side Monday where preliminary work has already begun.
Booker said it's time for Trump to "put up or shut up."
While Monday's commute had gone about as well as it could for most, the real test for the "new normal" won't come until the weather, equipment problems or police activity somewhere along the train line interrupts service.
"The measure is how good are you when things are bad," Ingoglia said.

superbowl commercials reviews & news
Super Bowl XXXIX Advertising Bonanza -*SPOILER ALERT*
By caffeinegoddess on February 3, 2005 - 23:11
Everyone is wondering what will air on Sunday and how soon after that will the Super Bowl XXXIX be added to the massive Claymore Project?
The answer to the latter is as soon as possible, after the game, when all the ads have aired the Super Bowl XXXIX will be added to the Super Bowl Commercial Archive, making the archive 32 years of bowls, which funnily enough is as many years as Dabitch is old. This cracks us up.
There's also buzzing about the banned by Fox ads, for the record 2 ads from GoDaddy.com have been nixed, 1 ad from Anheuser-Busch, 1 ad from Airborne and just now and ad for Ford Lincoln Mark LT was banned by focus groups.
Read more for all the ad goodness- but beware- *SPOILER ALERT*- includes plots and things you'll see. If you want to be surprised, you're better off not reading this. But do come back after the game for the ads and the ad review.

Ford: F Series - "Roadhouse" - 1 - :60
Ad Agency: Unknown at this time
Summary: The Western shoot-out scenario begins on a desert highway as a coyote runs across the road. A family of four riding in a sedan tries to appear calm and nonchalant as a convoy of rough, menacing looking motorcycle riders advances on their vehicle. The gang passes the sedan on both sides, with riders pausing briefly to grin at the passengers in the car holding their breath.
The gang pulls up to a roadhouse and stops. The lead rider puts his boots to the ground, removes his sunglasses and stares toward the roadhouse. His expression changes. We see the riders appearing more timid as they size up several Ford F-150 and Super Duty truck grilles 'staring' back at them menacingly. "I ain't goin' in there," says the leader. "Salad bar's better up the road," says another rider. The gang rides off. When the dust settles, viewers see a lineup of eight Ford trucks parked out front of the roadhouse as the voiceover says, "We don't just make our trucks tough - we make you tough." The 'Built Ford Tough' tag punctuates the ad.

Adidas - a3 Garnett '05 - "Made to Perfection"
Ad Agency: 180/TBWA (TBWAChiatDay San Francisco)
Summary: The spot launches Kevin Garnett's second signature performance basketball shoe. The ad opens on a remote workshop with an artist who is making a very detailed lifelike figurine of Kevin Garnett. As he progresses we realize that he has created very realistic models of Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady and Tim Duncan. The craftsman then takes the figures to a small door located on the floor of his workshop. He then reaches down and lifts the roof off of a real arena and begins placing the three superstars on the court. While being lowered onto the court Garnett, McGrady and Duncan all come to life. Lastly, a basketball drops down and lands between the players on the court. "The Big Three" then realize what their mission is: be the best basketball players and ensure the future of the game.
Viewers are then directed to www.21121.com to see "The Journey," a 3D animated short film that is a continuation of the ad. KG, T-Mac and Tim find themselves in an empty arena where they encounter a mysterious janitor, who leads them on a time-warp journey to basketball's past, present, and future. The janitor shows them basketball in its purest form in the past, the game's present day heroics, and an unsettling glimpse of what could be basketball's future. The players, fraught over the future state of the game, realize that they must work to preserve the purity of the sport for future generations. The online film was illustrated, designed and directed by Mekanism's Ian Kovalik. Visually inspired by street art tagged around urban basketball courts, Kovalik designed the characters and sets so they appear hand-painted.

The ad opens on a stark, snowy landscape in the middle of nowhere. A red Mustang GT Convertible, top down, waits at the middle of an otherwise deserted intersection. The stoplight is green. A police car pulls up behind it and waits for the Mustang to move. The policeman sips his coffee, then after a few moments, gets out of his car. Ticket book and pen in hand, he walks up to the Mustang. He greets the driver with a "Hi, ho. Sir, you have a green light, you know."
There's no response from the driver, who continues staring straight ahead with a happy smile on his face. He's wearing sunglasses and is dressed in a bright Hawaiian shirt. The policeman taps him on the cheek with his pen. When it clicks against his skin, the policeman pries the sunglasses from the driver's face -- he's frozen solid. The voiceover tells viewers, "You just don't introduce a convertible this irresistible in the middle of winter. Coming this spring, the 2005 Mustang Convertible" and ends with Ford's new divisional theme line, 'Built for the Road Ahead.'

Miller will be running the ads in local markets after getting a thumbs down from FOX for their negative portrayal of the Super Bowl's largest ad spending advertiser.
Adage.com reports:
Miller broke ads Friday that poke fun at Bud Select (AB is breaking ads for this during the game), which is low-carb and has a crisp taste. The ads tout Miller Lite, saying if Anheuser-Busch wanted a better light beer it should have asked Miller.
Ads we won't see: they were either banned or just pulled by the company
Ford Motor Co. - Lincoln Mercury- Mark LT Pickup Truck
Ad Agency: Y&R, Michigan
Summary: Depicts a clergyman tempted by the new pickup truck. Keys are left in the collection plate. The clergyman finds the LT in the parking lot and caresses it. The owner of the LT arrives with his little girl hiding behind him, supposedly implying that she put the keys in the collection plate.

Why we won't see it: Originally GoDaddy.com was to air two spots, one here and one in the 4th quarter, but none received the "all clear" from FOX. It is uncertain, as of now, what they will do with the airtime they have bought.
USAToday reports:
Craig Dezern, a spokesman for Walt Disney World in Orlando, said the move has "no connection at all" with the indecency uproar. He said the timing just didn't jibe with two new theme park marketing efforts now underway: the "Happiest Celebration on Earth" promoting the 50th anniversary of Disneyland, which begins on May 5, and a "Magic Your Way" plan offering more flexible prices and vacation plans for consumers.
"I wouldn't read anything into the future of the program. This is about where we need to put our focus right now," Dezern said.
Allen Adamson, managing director of image consultants Landor, suspects image-conscious Disney might be taking a pass this year to "avoid the risk of doing something live they can't control." But Ross Sutherland, executive creative director of Young & Rubicam, said the ads have become so routine that consumers are tuning them out. "I don't think anyone will miss it. I won't," Sutherland said.

Ad agency: Endorphin Productions Inc., Pacific Grove
Mickey Rooney's bum showing ad.
The network rejected a cold remedy commercial that includes a brief shot of the 84-year-old actor's behind, said Fox Sports spokesman Lou D'Ermilio.
"Our standards department reviewed the ad, and it was deemed inappropriate for broadcast television," he said.
The commercial for the over-the-counter product Airborne is set in a sauna and depicts Rooney panicking when someone coughs. His towel drops as he rushes out, revealing his rear.
The ad will be streamed on Endorphin.com on Sunday. It was shot in August on a set near the Monterey Peninsula Airport.
LVCVA- City of Las Vegas- is hoping to run regional spots instead through FOX affilates
The NFL has again flatly rejected national ads featuring the LVCVA's "What happens here, stays here" Vegas stories theme because of its opposition to gambling on football games.
The LVCVA's initial "Vegas stories" ad campaign didn't show or mention gambling, but the NFL contends that any mention of Las Vegas connotes wagering.
A representative of R&R Partners, the LVCVA's advertising agency, confirmed Tuesday that there had been no new breakthroughs on convincing the NFL to change its stance on accepting the ads.
The LVCVA has prepared a new batch of the popular but controversial ads that depict visitors' adventures in the city. One of the most recent new ads reprises the roles of several characters from previous ads recounting their Las Vegas visits on an airplane leaving the city.

Apparently Volvo released four concepts that they didn't choose to use for their Super Bowl ad. From their press release on Feb 2nd
1) "Volvo.com." Celebrating the five year anniversary of 17 dot-coms buying Super Bowl ads, Volvo developed a concept in their memory featuring high-priced celebrities, irreverent humor, abstract messaging and talking footwear to promote the new Volvo XC90 V8 SUV. "We tested our rough cut with focus groups and no one could understand it ... not even us," said Helen Gore, Volvo Cars of North America spokesperson.
2) "Take the Volvo Challenge." Riffing off the blindfolded taste test commercials of yesteryear, Volvo considered blindfolding drivers and asking them to test-drive a new Volvo and another brand's car. "For obvious reasons, our safety folks had a conniption over this one and it didn't make it off the drawing board," Gore said.
3) "Soccer Mom Bowl I." A 30-second spot showcasing the first of a perennial battle royale football smackdown pitting suburban moms from West of the Mississippi River against suburban moms East of the Mississippi, with winners receiving a new Volvo. "We thought about this a lot, but then decided this whole East Coast/West Coast rivalry thing has got to stop before someone gets hurt," Gore added.
4) "Safe Car. Great Design." In a crowded Volvo retailer, customers side over why they prefer Volvos, with one side chanting "Safe Car!" against the other side chanting "Great Design!" "Come to think of it, this is not such a bad idea; I don't know why we didn't go with this," Gore concluded.
one side chants "TASTES GREAT!" other side "LESS FILLING!"... is volvo a beer? ;)
The blindfolded test-drive idea really cracks me up. Hahaha, I so wish they had done that, but yes safety people would have a cow.
Another ad we won't see... from the LVCVA promoting the city of Las Vegas.

Q: What happens if I connect a solar panel and an AC/DC PSU in series? I'm thinking about connecting the DC12V output of an ATX PSU with a solar panel in series.
I want an always-on power source with as much power coming from the Sun as possible.

A: If they acted like ideal voltage sources, you could put them in series and they would additively combine their voltage (19V from the panel and 24V from the supply = 43V). However ideal voltage sources can supply infinite amounts of current, your supply and panel cannot do this. The main problem is the current, your panel has an IV curve, the more current you pull from it the less voltage you will get. They have circuits\IC's that optimize the power being pulled from the cell (solar MPPT tracker). You may be able to use a topology like this, you would have to keep the MPPT voltage right above the rail of the supply by tenths of volts and a topology like this would not be easy to get working.

La Serra de Monteguida és una serra del terme municipal d'Abella de la Conca. És la serra a l'extrem de llevant de la qual es troba el poble i el castell d'Abella de la Conca.

L'extrem de llevant és, de fet, el Forat d'Abella, on enllaça amb la serra de Carrànima. A partir d'aquest lloc, la serra descriu un arc còncau cap al nord, amb la inflexió cap a ponent, i assoleix ràpidament alçades considerables: mentre el Forat d'Abella és a 835 m. alt. i el Castell d'Abella, a 1.004, la Roca dels Arços (al damunt i a l'oest del poble), 1.077,8, Sarsús 1.365,9, la Roca de l'Espluga de Ninou 1.505,7, la Roca de Monteguida 1.510,2 i la Collada del Trumfo, on enllaça amb la Serra de Carreu, 1.462,7.

La seva carena principal, que és la que acabem de descriure, constitueix el límit oest de l'espai natural Serra de Carreu, que abraça tota la vall superior del riu d'Abella, emmarcada entre la Serra de Carrànima i la Serra de Carreu. Aquest espai natural és part integrant de la Reserva Nacional de Caça de Boumort.

Al sud, els contraforts davallen cap a la vall del riu d'Abella: la Roca de la Coma en el graó més elevat, el conjunt format per la Roca de la Casa Vella, el Pas de Finestres, la Roca de Viella i les Roques de Magaró en un nivell intermedi, i, ja a prop del riu, les Grives i les Llaus, el Tossal del Gassó, les Costetes i els Ferginals, ja prèvies a les costes de ribera, on hi ha les partides de les Riberes i les Llongues.

A la part baixa de la serra, pel costat meridional, s'estén el territori anomenat la Viella, amb un seguit de masies d'Abella de la Conca: Cal Borrell, Casa Xinco, Casa Grives, Cal Moixarda, Cal Serret, Cal Gassó, etc. A les Riberes encara es troben Cal Cap-roc, Cal Benetó, Cal Castelló, Cal Jou i Casa Montsor, entre d'altres. Tot el vessant occidental de la serra pertany a la partida d'Ordins.

Etimologia
Aquesta serra pren el nom, segons explica Joan Coromines per a mots com ara Guido i Guiu, de l'antropònim gòtic Witizon o Witiza, amb el primer component procedent del llatí: mons (muntanya``).

re: willing to accept
Posted on December 3, 2009 by Tiffany
Here's another article that references the perils of placing biracial babies in adoptive homes. Is adoptive a word? Anyway, this just reinforces my strong desire to adopt a brood of biracial kids. I guess it's not going to be that difficult once I'm ready. Getting ready is the difficult part.
Adoption fulfills dream of blended family for Erie County couple
By DANA MASSING
A chatty little social butterfly, 5-year-old Grace Ann May can be sassy and likes to show off a little.
That's how Annette May describes the daughter who is most like May was as a child.
"Other than she's brown and I'm white," May said.
Grace is one of two girls and two boys who became part of the May family, of Greene Township, through adoption.
Gracie, as she's called, and two of the others are biracial. The children, who range in age from 5 to 12, were joined by Annette and Scott May's first biological child, a daughter born on Mother's Day.
"White, black, purple with pink polka dots, it really doesn't matter to us," Annette May said. "Everybody deserves a family that loves them."
…The Mays' four adoptions were done through Catholic Charities, even though the family is Presbyterian. The agency works with families of all faiths. It had more adoption options and lower fees than other agencies, Annette May said.
Heather Hough, adoption counselor for the agency, said cute babies with blonde hair and blue eyes are the easiest to find families for. "Everybody wants those," she said.
Some children up for adoption have physical, mental or behavioral issues, said Ellen Miller, Catholic Charities' special-needs adoption coordinator. She worked with the Mays on their adoptions.
The Web site for the Statewide Adoption and Permanency Network, or S.W.A.N., states that "special needs" refers to "children waiting to be adopted who are older, of minority heritage, part of a sibling group or have a disability" or "for whom finding an adoptive family may be more challenging."
"A lot of our kids, their need is they need a family more than (they) have special requirements," Miller said.
Annette May said one of the most difficult parts of adopting was answering questions about what she and her husband would accept in a child.
"You can't make those decisions when you have a child naturally, so I felt very awkward feeling like I could make those decisions in this circumstance… We had fertility issues," Annette May said. "We're kind of traditional folk. We never really financially could afford in-vitro (fertilization) or things like that, and I'm just not that type of person, not interested in going through all that. It sounds very cliché, but as a kid, I always thought it would be very neat to have a blended family."
That family started with Grace Ann. She was 10 days old when the Mays took her home. They were early in the adoption process and hadn't expected results so soon, but no other family wanted a biracial baby at the time, Annette May said.
"We've always been open to pretty much any age and any race," she said.
When Gracie was 6 months old, the couple heard from Miller at Catholic Charities again.
"She called and said, 'We have a biracial little boy, born at Hamot yesterday, needs somebody to pick him up tomorrow. Are you willing?'" Annette May recalled.
"At the time, we just kind of thought, 'This is so unusual.' We had those thoughts of, 'People say it takes forever. It's a boy and a girl. Are we ever going to have the opportunity if we turn it down? And so we said yes, and I thought, 'Hey, people have twins all the time. What's the big deal? We'll just get it all out of the way at once — diapers, bottles, the whole thing.'"
