Harold Henry "Pee Wee" Reese (July 23 1918 - August 14 1999) was an American professional baseball player who played for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1940 to 1958.
Reese was a ten-time All Star shortstop who contributed to seven league championships for Brooklyn. One of the most popular players with both his teammates and the fans, the "Little Colonel" was the Dodgers' team captain, and he, not the manager, brought out the line-up card at the start of their games.
Reese is also famous for his support of his teammate Jackie Robinson, the first modern African American player in the major leagues, especially in Robinson's difficult first years.
Reese's nickname originated in his childhood, as he was a champion marbles player (a little "pee wee" is a small marble). Reese was born in Ekron , Meade County , Kentucky , and raised there until he was nearly eight years old, when his family moved to racially segregated Louisville . He graduated from duPont Manual High School in 1937.
Baseball career
Reese signed with the American Association's Louisville Colonels at the age of 18. By , he was one of the top prospects in the minors, and so impressed Boston Red Sox farm director Billy Evans that he recommended the Red Sox buy the team. Evans and owner Tom Yawkey both knew that the Red Sox' longtime shortstop, Joe Cronin, was nearing the end of his career. However, Cronin was the Red Sox' manager as well, and still thought of himself as a regular shortstop. When Yawkey sent Cronin to Louisville to scout Reese, Cronin deliberately downplayed Reese's talent and suggested Reese be traded. It took awhile to find a buyer, since the other teams assumed something had to be wrong with Reese if the Red Sox wanted to get rid of him. However, on July 18, 1939, Reese was sent to Brooklyn for $35,000 and four players to be named later. This trade is now considered one of the most lopsided deals in baseball history.
Reese stayed in Louisville for the rest of the 1939 season, and was called up to Brooklyn in time for the 1940 season. In an ironic twist, he walked into a situation where his manager was also the regular shortstop—in this case, Leo Durocher. Unlike Cronin, however, Durocher was willing to give up his spot in the lineup to Reese.
Other than his Navy time between 1943–1945, Reese had no breaks in service and played at least 140 games in every year from 1941 to 1956. Consistently productive, he scored at least 75 runs from 1942 through 1956 and amassed 1338 lifetime, best of any Dodger. Though he never won an MVP award, eight times he ranked in the top ten of MVP balloting. He also was a home run threat during a time when shortstops seldom hit homers. He hit 126 HRs for his career and had as many as 16 in a season. Reese amassed 252 stolen bases in a period when steals were not an integral part of the game. Defensively, he was an outstanding gloveman, leading NL shortstops four times in putouts and ranking in the top 10 all-time in putouts and double plays.
Early Playing Career
Reese's rookie season in 1940 was curtailed by a broken heel bone that limited him to only 84 games in what had looked to be a promising season (.272 BA with 58 runs scored). He had a thrilling moment that year, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to beat the New York Giants. In 1941, he suffered through a poor season, hitting a meagre .229 and leading the league with 47 errors. Even playing in the World Series that year was a forgettable experience for Reese, as he batted only .200 and made three errors in the four games to one Yankees romp. It was in the 1942 campaign that he truly established himself, making the NL All-Star team for the first of ten consecutive years and leading National League shortstops in both putouts and assists.
Like many players of his era, he missed three seasons due to military service. Reese enlisted in the United States Navy in 1943 and shipped out to fight in the Pacific theater of World War II. While Reese was in the service, the Dodgers languished, finishing no better than third place and as poorly as 42 games out (in seventh place) in 1943. Upon his return in 1946, Reese immediately righted the ship as the Dodgers once again were a contender, finishing just two games behind the Cardinals.
Reese was a strong supporter of the first 20th century black Major League Baseball player, Jackie Robinson. He was serving a stint in the Navy when the news of Robinson's signing came. Although he had little or no experience interacting with minorities — according to Reese, his meeting Robinson marked the first time in his life that he had shaken hands with a black man — he had no particular prejudices, either. It is reported that his father had made him starkly aware of racial injustice by showing him a tree where a lynching had occurred. The modest Reese, who typically downplayed his pioneering role in helping to ease the breaking of the 80-year-old color line, said that his primary concern with regard to Robinson's arrival was the possibility of Reese losing his shortstop job. Robinson was assigned to the right side of the infield, and Reese retained his position.
Reese refused to sign a petition that threatened a boycott if Robinson joined the team. When Robinson joined the Dodgers in 1947 and traveled with them during their first road trip, he was heckled by fans in Cincinnati, Ohio . During pre-game infield practice, Reese, the captain of the team, went over to Robinson, engaged him in conversation, and put his arm around his shoulder in a gesture of support which silenced the crowd. This gesture is depicted in a bronze sculpture of Reese and Robinson, created by sculptor William Behrends, that was placed at KeySpan Park in Brooklyn and unveiled on November 1, 2005.
Throughout that difficult first year in the major leagues, Reese helped keep Robinson's morale up amid all the abuse. As the 1947 season wore on, there was tacit acceptance of the fact that blacks were now playing big league ball and were probably there to stay. Robinson still got pitches thrown at him, but, as Reese recounted to author Roger Kahn, "I told him, 'You know Jack, some of these guys are throwing at you because you're black. But others are doing it just because they plain don't like you.'" His role in nurturing Jackie Robinson aside, 1947 was a superb year for Reese, as he batted .284 with a league-leading 104 walks. He also had a career best slugging average of .426. Their rapport soon led shortstop Reese and second baseman Robinson to become one of the most effective defensive pairs in the sport's history.
The friendship between Reese and Robinson is prominent in Roger Kahn's classic work, The Boys of Summer. At Reese's funeral, Joe Black, another major league baseball black pioneer, said,
"Pee Wee helped make my boyhood dream come true to play in the majors, the World Series. When Pee Wee reached out to Jackie, all of us in the Negro League smiled and said it was the first time that a white guy had accepted us. When I finally got up to Brooklyn, I went to Pee Wee and said, 'Black people love you. When you touched Jackie, you touched all of us.' With Pee Wee, it was No. 1 on his uniform and No. 1 in our hearts."
Later career
In 1949, Reese had his only league lead in a significant batting category, topping all National Leaguers with 132 runs scored. The Dodgers won the pennant again that year, but the Yanks continued to dominate in the World Series, winning in five games despite Reese's .316 Series average and team-leading six hits.
Reese became Dodgers' team captain in 1950. In 1951, he had career high in RBI, with 84. In 1952, he led the NL in stolen bases with 30. That same year, Reese had his best Series, batting .345 with 10 hits, one home run and four RBI. In Game 3, Robinson and Reese pulled off a double steal, with both later scoring on a passed ball.
The 1953 Dodgers won the NL pennant with a mark of 105–49 for a .682 winning percentage. Reese was a mainstay for the team, with 108 runs scored and a .271 batting average. The Yankees, however, again defeated the Dodgers in the World Series, four games to two. After the season, the Dodgers offered Reese the position of manager; when Reese declined the promotion, the Dodgers hired Walter Alston, who remained manager for more than two decades.
In 1954, Reese batted .309, the only season in which he hit over .300. Though 36 years old, he was still going strong during the 1955 season, scoring 99 runs. In that year, the Dodgers won their first World Series. Reese had two RBI in Game 2. In Game 7, he singled and scored an insurance run. While on the field, he doubled off Gil McDougald at first after a sensational catch and relay throw in left field by Sandy Amoros to help preserve the victory.
In 1957, Reese yielded his starting role to another black ballplayer, Charlie Neal. As the Dodgers moved west in 1958, Reese joined them on their sojourn as a backup infielder, retiring that year after batting only .224 in 59 games. He coached for the Dodgers in the 1959 season, earning a second World Series ring.
Reese and Elston Howard have the dubious distinction of playing on the most losing World Series teams (six each). Reese's only World Series win, with the Dodgers in the 1955 World Series, occurred against Howard's New York Yankees during Howard's first World Series. No other non-Yankee ballplayer has appeared in that many World Series for the same team.
Following his retirement as a player, Reese enjoyed considerable success as a play-by-play announcer on network television. He called games for CBS from 1960–1965 (with Dizzy Dean) and for NBC from 1966–1968 (with Curt Gowdy). Reese also broadcast the 1967 and 1968 World Series for NBC radio.
Eventually Reese went to work for Hillerich & Bradsby, makers of Louisville Slugger baseball bats. He battled prostate and lung cancer during the final years of his life, finally succumbing on August 14, 1999, at his Louisville home.
In 1984, Pee Wee Reese was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame .
In front of the main entrance into Louisville Slugger Field , stands a statue of Pee Wee Reese.
Reese was married to the former Dorothy "Dottie" Walton on March 29, 1942, who survived him in death. They had two children.

Radha Mitchell for "Silent Hill"
Thursday, April 20th 2006 11:47 pm
10 years after making a splash in the low-budget Australian comedy Love and Other Catastrophes, beautiful Radha Mitchell, who primarily calls Los Angeles home, has gone from working with Woody Allen to starring in a terrifying new adaptation of yet another video game, Silent Hill.
Mitchell recently saw the finished film in Paris, she recalls and happily admits, on the phone from a New York hotel room, "it looks really cool, and for me it was surprisingly beautiful. I didn't expect the movie to be that beautiful or emotionally resonant. So it's kind of poetic in a lot of ways, but at the same time very violent and some of the images are disturbingly terrifying and there's a lot of shock value in what you see. But for me the overall affect was that it was quite beautiful."
Mitchell admits that when she initially read Roger Avary's screenplay, "I got to page 30 and it scared me. It was like a Friday night and I thought, oh, this is just too much so I put it down, and I picked it up, read it the next day and finished it." The actress adds that "for the there was something haunting about the story and I'd be, like, cooking food or, in the shower and have images from the script come into my mind. So I always felt like there was something about the script that was unusual, strange and somewhat haunting."
It was French director Christophe Gans that finally convinced her to do the film. "When I met Christophe he kind of explained his point of view. I really didn't know anything about Silent Hill the videogame, even though I was interested in the idea of making a videogame movie, but I didn't quite understand it. Christophe is a real film buff and also a huge fan of the game, and he at one point I think played the game for three days straight without going to the toilet."
Mitchell laughingly concedes that she is not quite as obsessive about the video game culture. "I didn't know much about videogames until we started shooting the film. I mean I knew a little bit about Grand Theft Auto because I was playing that, when we were shooting Man on Fire, but to play THIS game you have to take notes and you're sitting there with a pen and paper trying to understand where you go next. There's a whole mystery that's part of the game that you uncover, and the mood and atmosphere of it is very, very hypnotic. So just the idea of making a film where it's open can be open to interpretation what happens, and what doesn't happen, was appealing."
In the movie, Mitchell plays Rose, desperate to find her child Sharon, who finds herself trapped in an alternate dimension as she searches for her daughter in a world of decay inhabited by strange beings. Over the protests of her husband, she flees with her child, heading for an abandoned town to which the child seems drawn. Sharon disappears in the town, and Rose follows what she thinks is her daughter's silhouette into what seems like an alternate reality. It's soon clear this place is not like anywhere she's ever been. It's smothered by fog, inhabited by a variety of strange beings and periodically overcome by a living Darkness that literally transforms everything it touches. Joined by Cybil, a local police officer, Rose searches for her little girl while learning the history of the strange town and realizing that Sharon is just a pawn in a larger game.
The actress says she also enjoys playing a mother. "I think mothers in cinema are generally depicted as these sort of attached characters and the fact that they're mothers is kind of an embedment; but, in this case there's sort of a celebration of motherhood. I mean I lose my daughter and I'm looking for her, and for me it was kind of like losing a piece of yourself and trying to find her. However a lot of the characters in Silent Hill are female and they all have their own relationship to the idea of this missing child. One of them is a cop and she kicks ass, and another one, is this kind of mangled creature, witch woman, and she also has a connection to the girl, and then there's another woman who's this puritanical, kind of a character who controls a lot of what goes on in Silent Hill. So it was a surprisingly female story in this genre where you don't normally see women depicted in this way."
Mitchell remains quite the busy actress, still waiting for the release of Mozart and the Whale, admitting, with more than a hit of bemused frustration, "I don't know what's going on with Mozart and the Whale. It had a small release in Spokane I think and there's some debate as to how, what, where and so on." She also finished work on PU-239 "and it's probably going to screen in Toronto." And for the first time in a decade, Mitchell returned to Australia to star in the thriller Rogue, for director Greg McLean, who helmed the sleeper hit, Wolf Creek. "It was funny going back to shoot it there because I've always identified myself in some ways with being Australian living in L.A. and then, the character I play in the movie has never left the Northern Territory," the actress says, laughingly. "She's very much like the country chick and I had to relearn my accent. I had accent training to be, like a Northern Territory girl, so that was just funny because I'd always, identified myself as being Australian, and that was one of the sort of things I had to deal with while shooting the film."
Filming in Central Australia was a unique experience for her, she explains. "It really opened my eyes in so many ways about what it is to be Australian and what Australia actually is. We have our own dark history which I don't think we've reconciled and I don't know how we're going to do that, but that was something that we, saw and then there was this incredible nature that we were a part of. We were shooting with live crocodiles in the most remote areas, so it was it was an adventure. But, I was also kind of happy to be in Melbourne, because the rest of the film was shot in Warburton, about two hours outside of Melbourne. So it's kind of near my family, and I had the experience of working and then being able to hang out with my mum which never happens over here in the States."
Ten years after Radha and I first met at the Sundance Film Festival, one has to finally wonder whether she remains surprised at how her career has gone. "I don't know. I mean everything surprises me, this big adventure, the whole thing, but, I've always been fairly open-minded about where it's going to go and where it isn't going to go and so I've actually just had a lot of fun being involved in these projects of late." As for what's next, this Aussie starlet is adopting a wait-and-see attitude. "I don't know what's coming up next. I'm sort of waiting as this is coming out in the next week or two so I'm going to do all this and then just go on a little break. I just got back from Australia about a month ago, so I'm looking forward to just relaxing for a minute."

There is no point in having a website if visitors cannot discover it and make their way to it. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process by which you improve the ranking of your website on different search engines and increase visibility. Thankfully, you do not have to be a SEO specialist to comprehend the requirements of the SEO process. WordPress has a number of plugins that will aid the SEO process, but few plugins are as good as SEO Ultimate. To say that SEO Ultimate is a feature-packed plugin would be an understatement; SEO Ultimate has all the features of other top WordPress SEO plugins and then throws in some exclusive features of its own to sweeten the deal. The one downside of SEO Ultimate is that it can really slow down a site when all its features have been fully enabled. However, each feature can be disabled individually and this should allow you to control how heavy SEO Ultimate gets.
Explore the full potential of WordPress by getting involved in e-commerce. If you do want to set up shop, look no further than the WP E-Commerce plugin. It is not the easiest e-commerce plugin to use, but it certainly is not difficult either. Besides, the features that it offers make it well worth the effort. Even the free basic package is packed with features and allows you to individually purchase any upgrades you may require in the future. It is not at all surprising that WP E-commerce is the number one e-commerce plugin for WordPress users.
An active social media presence is crucial to ensure that website not only becomes popular, but stays popular as well. This means staying linked with your visitors through as many social media platforms as possible. In the end, you know you are doing much better than your competitors when you have more followers on Twitter and more 'Likes' on Facebook. The problem is incorporating a link for all these different social media platforms without cluttering up the page too much. The Follow Me plugin allows you to add a sidebar widget that will contain links to your various social media profiles. There are quite a few plugins that offer the same functionality, but Follow Me is definitely one of the most stable options out there.
WordPress has a number of plugins to choose from that can really make your life easy. However, remember that adding too many plugins can slow everything down. Avoid the temptation to stuff your website with plugins and go only for the essential ones.
Guest post written by James Franklin, who has years of experience in the field of SEO.
Loved your post.I also want to share some of the plugins which all of you will like such as the Akismet.Akismet is the best plugin for keeping safe your WP from spams.I am using this plugin for a long time for all of my WP and can assure all the new bloggers that you will face no problem with it as it is very user friendly. Google Analytic's is a popular plugin for WP but my suggestion to all of you to not to use it as it gives no privacy to the users. It is risky.I will prefer all to try Piwik instead of GA.It also does the same like the Google Analytics and gives great service.One more thing about it is that it gives respect to the users privacy .
Thanks for the succinct and informative summary of the best WP add-ons. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the selection and number of add-ons offering the same or similar functionality. This article helps me to chose the ones that really do stand out.
I love the variety of plugins available to WordPress users. Directory plugins, Form plugins, SEO plugins, Newsletter plugins… whatever your need is, you can find it. I think the best plugins are those with active support systems. Regardless of whether it's free or paid plugin, there are enough variations in hosting setups, theme settings and plugin conflicts to make even the most perfectly coded plugin not function correctly. Having an active support forum or help desk makes all the difference.
The only plugin that I think I have used in this list is "Folow Me".
I tend to stick to All In One SEO even thought I think it has less funtionalities than the plugin mentioned by Jeff in his comment (SEO by Yoast). I think that SEO Ultimate is also likely to present more features than All In One SEO. But, Isn't SEO Ultimate a plugin that is more useful to people who have a lot of experience in SEO?
WordPress is not as insecure as you think.
It's weakest feature perhaps is the big number of users it can support. Someone or the other is often prone to use 'password' as password or leave it on a notepad somewhere.
The feature that makes WordPress stand out and shine are it's plugins. There are already numerous plugins which can make your website very secure. There have been some serious issues in the recent past, but they'll be patched thoroughly in the next update. The current plugins however, are more than efficient for any security breach.
I now see why so many websites use wordpress and it's plugins, better search results. I also heard from other people who have wordpress sites that many of them can be at security or virus risk. WordPress's next objective should be to have a security feature so that many sites that use wordpress plugins are safe.

Coming of Age Schwerter & Magie Science Fiction & Fantasy
Years ago, Heart's Eye, a school built on top of a nexus point, was attacked and captured by a necromancer. The nexus point was snuffed out, the handful of survivors forced to flee, and the once great school turned into a forward base for a necromantic invasion. All seemed lost, until Emily killed the necromancer and retook the school. Now, she intends to lay the building blocks for a university, a place where magical knowledge and mundane technology are brought together for the benefit of all. But dark secrets lie within the shadowed school.
The Broken Throne
The Kingdom of Zangaria has fallen into civil war. On one side, King Randor and his forces, determined to impose his rule over the entire kingdom; on another, the noblemen who want to crush the king; on a third, Princess Alassa and the Levellers. Caught in the middle, Emily must steer a course between her loyalty to her friend, her duty to people who put their faith in her, and her fears for the future. But King Randor has unleashed forces even he may be unable to control....
King Randor has been defeated. Queen Alassa has taken her throne. The Kingdom of Zangaria can look forward to a new age of peace and prosperity. But their victory came at a terrible price. A moment before his death, King Randor hit Emily with a powerful curse. She's lost her magic. She's losing her mind. She may soon lose her life. As rumors start to spread, as her enemies start to gather, Emily searches desperately for the key to unlock the curse before it is too late.
The Princess in the Tower
The Kingdom of Zangaria has finally started its descent into civil war. King Randor has declared martial law, imprisoned the pregnant Crown Princess Alassa in the Tower of Alexis, and started preparations for a first strike against his enemies. The time has come for everyone to choose a side. Emily has arrived in Alexis with the intention of freeing Alassa before her father can have her executed. But as Emily and her friends are drawn into a maelstrom of rebellious factions and crown loyalists, they find themselves faced with an insolvable problem.
The Artful Apprentice
Every magician who wants to be great goes through an apprenticeship...a period of training under a master who will hopefully raise them to mastery themselves. For Emily, the time has come to begin her long-awaited apprenticeship with Void. She must master her powers or risk being destroyed by them. But as Void introduces her to levels and layers of magic she never even knew existed, she finds herself fighting desperately to keep up, to defeat challenge after challenge, to prove her worth to study under him, and to survive a training course that has killed lesser magicians.

The Gordian Knot
The post of Head Girl of Whitehall looks fantastic on anyone's resume. It places the lucky winner on equal terms to the staff, granting them authority, power, and responsibility that no other student can even dream of possessing. Naturally, Emily doesn't want it. But when she returns to Whitehall for her sixth and final year, she discovers that the staff has elected her to the post - and refusal isn't an option. Reluctantly, she starts to carry out her new duties, unaware that deadly enemies are waiting in the shadows, preparing themselves to strike at her when her back is turned.

Fists of Justice
The war is over. But the scars remain. Emily's New Learning has been good for Beneficence. In the years since she arrived on the Nameless World, the city has been at the forefront of technological advancement and social development. Thousands of newcomers are moving to the city, railways span the gorge and drive into Zangaria, the first steamboats are plowing the ocean wave and a whole new banking system is reshaping national and international trade. A true golden age appears to be on hand. But all is not well.

Three of the most powerful necromancers in the Blighted Lands have banded together into an unstoppable force, one capable of breaching the Craggy Mountains and laying waste to the lands beyond. If they cannot be stopped, they will tear the Allied Lands apart. Nothing will survive. And so Emily, the Necromancer's Bane, is called upon once more to stand in defense of her adopted homeland and stop the necromancers in their tracks. Her presence may be the only thing keeping the Allied Lands from shattering as the war turns hot once again.

Von Jonas Am hilfreichsten 05.03.2021
Infinite Regress
Schooled in Magic, Book 9
The new grandmaster of Whitehall doesn't want Emily in his school. She's dangerous, he thinks. The only way he'll allow her to return to Whitehall is if she chooses to be a probationary student, a student who can be expelled at the slightest excuse, a student who has to work for one of the professors. Reluctantly, unwilling to leave her first true home, Emily accepts. But she rapidly discovers that she's about to be pushed right to the limit.
Thrown back in time after the spells binding Whitehall School together nearly collapsed, Emily finds herself in the days of Lord Whitehall. But everything she knows about the past is a lie. The Whitehall Commune is in hiding from a great and terrible foe, while some of the legendary founders bicker like children and others call on deadly and untrustworthy entities with agendas of their own.
The School of Hard Knocks
A plot is being hatched at Mountaintop Academy, a plot that threatens the lives of Emily and her friends...and the integrity of the Allied Lands. In a desperate bid to uncover the secrets of Mountaintop and recover her stolen notes, Emily goes undercover into Mountaintop, a mission that may cost her everything.
Little Witches
The student witches are growing increasingly reckless, preying on the mundanes below the mountains as their tutors plot and scheme to take advantage of the chaos. And no one seems to know why. Emily is in no condition to intervene. But she cannot refuse. Heading to Laughter, Emily finds herself dragged into a world of schoolgirl games, staffroom politics, and a deadly plot aimed at the heart of the Allied Lands themselves.
The Right Side of History
A brutal uprising in the Kingdom of Alluvia has shaken the Allied Lands, and Emily finds herself accused of starting it. Desperate, all too aware the kingdom is on the verge of becoming a vortex of chaos, Emily travels to Alluvia in the hopes of calming both sides long enough to secure peace. However, she's unaware that the uprising is merely the first step in a plan to shatter the Allied Lands beyond repair.
After a brief visit to the Blighted Lands in hopes of recovering something useful from Shadye's Dark Fortress, Emily returns to Whitehall for her fourth year, bracing herself for the exams that will determine her future. But as she resumes her education, she discovers that the shadows of the past are hanging over the school. A teacher wants to break her, some of her friends are acting oddly, and, worst of all, a boy intends to court her.
Love's Labor's Won
The Magical Families of Ashworth and Ashfall have been feuding for countless years, ever since something happened to split one family into two. Now, they have been invited to Cockatrice Faire - when no other magician would dare invite them both. And when it becomes clear that the Ashworth Heir and the Ashfall Heir have fallen in love with one another, Emily finds herself caught in the middle between two powerful families, each one capable of destroying her once and for all.
The Sergeant's Apprentice
The necromancers have finally resumed their assault on the Allied Lands, sending a mighty army across the Desert of Death and into the Kingdom of Tarsier. Countless farms, villages, and towns have already been destroyed as the host makes its way northwards, striking deep into the kingdom's most vulnerable lands. Hundreds of thousands have been killed, thousands more will be killed when they are sacrificed for power. If the necromancers win the coming battle, it may be the beginning of the end.
Wedding Hells
After her victory over Master Grey, Emily wants nothing more than to relax and give herself time to recover from the duel. Her magic, pushed to the limits, is no longer reliable, forcing her to learn to control it from scratch. Every time she delays using her magic, she risks headaches...or worse. But she must return to Whitehall to complete her fourth-year exams and bid farewell to those of her friends who are not returning for fifth year. And then, she must return to Zangaria to play her role in Princess Alassa's wedding to Jade.
The Face of the Enemy
In the aftermath of the struggle, long-held grudges are boiling over and conflicts are breaking out. The monarchs want to settle border disputes, the aristocrats want to impose their will on monarchs and peasants alike, the commoners want freedom and justice, and the magical communities want to rule all or else separate themselves from the mundanes. And most of this chaos is being orchestrated by Emily's mentor, the sorcerer Void. He believes the only path to salvation for the Allied Lands is to make himself the undisputed ruler of the world.

Roads, highways and maintenance
Permit scheme for roadworks and street works
Permit scheme for road works and street works
Dorset Council permit scheme for road works and street works
Permit scheme to start
The permit scheme will come in to operation on 16 January 2020. Legal Orders have been passed which make it an obligation for Dorset Council, Statutory Undertakers and their contractors to comply with the Permit scheme.
Download the Sealed Order and Permit Scheme document.
Dorset Council has worked with Saanchi Solutions Limited to develop and implement a Permit scheme for road works and street works to improve reliability of information about activities taking place on the highway network; and reduce inconvenience to road users and the negative impact on the economy from disruption caused by roadworks.
Under the scheme, promoters will need to ask for permission to work from Dorset Council via an electronic application process, before starting (not including emergency works which can start immediately).
Permit schemes were bought into existence through the Traffic Management Act in 2004. The first scheme launched in Kent in 2009, followed by London in 2010. Statutory guidance introduced in 2015 has given greater consistency across all schemes and councils across the country have begun to introduce them.
Dorset Council received a letter from the Department for Transport in 2018 (which was addressed to all local authorities who weren't running a permit scheme,) giving direction to introduce one by April 2019, which was subsequently extended to April 2020. No councils in the south west region were at that time operating a Permit scheme.
Granted applications may incur a fee. Work cannot start until a permit is approved.
Both the works promoters and Dorset Council can impose appropriate and mindful conditions on every job to include when work can take place, how long for, and how much roadspace can be taken up.
Working without a valid permit becomes a criminal offence and can incur fines and infringements. Carrying out work not in accordance with the conditions applied to the permit can also incur penalties.
Promoters will need to provide clear start and end dates for their work on certain roads and any alteration to these can incur a charge as well.
Compliance with the scheme will be monitored routinely. Annual reports are sent to the Department for Transport. The scheme will be cost neutral – with the cost of permits funding the administration of the scheme.
The permit scheme is not to be confused with lane rental schemes, which allows a local highway authority to charge works promoters for the time that street and road works occupy the highway - these currently only operate in Kent and London.
Activities requiring a permit
Only the following activities require a permit:
utility works (gas, electric, water, sewerage and telephony)
work on plant and apparatus in the road by statutory undertakers (utility companies and their contractors) including all remedial works
relevant activities by the rail authority (Network Rail), Royal Mail, other agencies and their contractors
council highway works (Dorset Highways and its contractors)
maintenance and improvement works to the road itself carried out by, or on behalf of, the highway authority; and all highway works
major highway works (including Developer activities under Section 278 of the Highways Act 1980)
and only when one or more of the follow criteria apply:
activities that involve the breaking up or resurfacing of any street
activities that involve the opening of the carriageway or cycleway of traffic sensitive streets at traffic-sensitive times
activities that require the use of any form of temporary traffic control as defined in the Code of Practice for Safety at Street Works and Road Works
activities that reduce the number of lanes available on a carriageway of three or more lanes
activities that require a temporary traffic regulation order or notice, or the suspension of pedestrian crossing facilities
activities that require a reduction in width of the existing carriageway of a traffic sensitive street at a traffic-sensitive time
Activities which don't require a permit, include:
traffic census surveys
fire service vehicles testing fire hydrants outside of traffic sensitive times
core holes not exceeding 150mm in diameter (unless rules above apply)
road markings (unless rules above apply)
replacing manhole or chamber covers
replacing poles, lamps, columns or signs in the same location
bar holes
applicants following the section 50 procedure
Some of the benefits identified, include:
reduction in disruption on the road network
improvement in overall network management
reduction of delays and inconvenience to the travelling public
reduction in costs to businesses caused by delays
incentives for work promoters to collaborate

Q: how do i check the data in an array with indexOf in java i'm fairly new to java and i'm trying to use indexOf to check if a persons name ends with the letters in the array and output a word it rhymes with. Where am i going wrong? e.g. Dean ends in "ean" so it rhymes with green. Thanks guys
    String [] first = new String [3];
    first [0] = "eem";
    first [1] = "een";
    first [2] = "ean";

    for (int i = 0; i < first.length; i++) {

        if (first[i].indexOf(first.length) != -1){
            System.out.println("That rhymes with green");
        }
    }

A: To check with weather the input contains any array given element's, you should receive input and then iterate over your array to look at. For ex
  String personname = "Dean";
  String [] first = new String [3];
    first [0] = "eem";
    first [1] = "een";
    first [2] = "ean";

    for (int i = 0; i < personname.length; i++) {
        if (input.indexOf(first[i]) != -1){  // check my input matched
            System.out.println("That rhymes with green");
        }
    }

A: I have tested and ran it on the compiler. This is working fine. Please comment for any quesions. Thanks
import java.util.*;

public class HelloWorld
{

    public static void main(String []args)
        {
            String [] first = new String [3];
            first [0] = "eem";
            first [1] = "een";
            first [2] = "ean";

            /* I am trying to get the input from user here */

            String s;
            Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("Enter the string:");
            s = in.nextLine();

            /* Now, String.indexOf(substring) will check the condition if the match happens it will print the output, if it doesn't it returns -1 */

            for (int i = 0; i <s.length(); i++)
                {
                    if (s.indexOf(first[i]) != -1)
                        {
                            System.out.println("That rhymes with green");
                        }
                }

       }
}

A: You should use endsWith instead of indexOf. indexOf will return the index where the passed string exactly matches the current string and, as the name suggests, endsWith will check if the current string ends with the passed string.
Take a look at the following code:
String personName = "Dean";
String[] suffix = {"eem", "een", "ean"};
String[] names = {"greem", "green", "grean"};

for(int i = 0; i < suffix.length; i++) {
    if (personName.endsWith(suffix[i])){
        System.out.println("That rhymes with " + names[i]);
    }
}

Also, ideally, you would want to keep a map of suffix -> name for maintainability, but for simplicity/exploring this should be fine.

Soft playgrounds can be particularly good for skating centers because they tap into a market segment that stand-alone rinks are challenged to do. Playgrounds can attract the under six crowd. Some families that have both older and younger children avoid visiting facilities that do not offer entertainment to all siblings. Soft playgrounds overcome this objection. Attracting young children does more than just improve a skating center's current revenue; it can have a long-term impact as well. Marketing research is showing that there are significant benefits to getting customers accustomed to visiting your facility at an early age. The youngsters that are playground customers now return later as skating customers.
A well-designed soft playground should not only attract young children, it should significantly increase birthday party business. Birthday parties have become a major component of a typical amusement center's income and installing a first-class playground will go a long way in boosting birthday party sales. As usual, deciding to add a soft playground is just the beginning of your decision making process. There are a variety of playground suppliers to choose from. Each company offers products that are significantly differentiated from each other, and each will try to convince you that theirs is the one you should buy. Since most adults are not playground experts, it only makes sense to do market research to determine which one is the best for your customers. When choosing a soft playground, you basically have the choice between a standard model and a custom designed unit. Standard models typically cost less and may be the route to go if you have very limited space and resources and just want to offer something for the younger children to do. If your goal is to generate long-term profits, then you are probably better off looking at a custom designed playground.
The first step is to contact soft playground suppliers and have them send an information packet. You can get the names of the companies by doing a search for soft playgrounds by calling trade magazines such as Roller Skating Business or on the Internet. You can even call up the suppliers and ask them for the names of their competitors. If they hesitate to tell you who their competition is, that may indicate how confident they are in their own product. If you go this route, be sure to call several so that you are getting a complete list. Your best source of reliable information about these companies is other skating center owners that have already installed a soft playground. Contact owners and ask them about their experiences. Do they like their playground? Are they getting good service from their supplier? How much money are they making? If you don't know many rink owners who own soft playgrounds, ask the suppliers you contact to provide you with a list of their installations in skating centers.
I want to take a moment at this point to encourage you to think creatively. Soft playgrounds can be so much more than just a toy you put in a corner. Soft playgrounds are almost unlimited in the ways they can be configured. They can span over game areas or entry ways. They can utilize otherwise nonproductive space above party rooms or offices. Some can even provide entertainment for your seated guests; there are very few limitations. After talking to current owners, you should have an idea of which companies you want to have provide you with a proposal. If your project is going to be new construction, or if you have accurate detailed drawings of your facility, then your playground supplier can work off of your construction drawings. You will need to tell them the areas available for the playground, what your budget is, and any special concerns such as wanting a controlled entry point close to one of your workstations, or whether you want a toddler area. If the playground is for an existing rink and you don't have highly accurate drawings, it is advisable that you ask the suppliers you are considering to meet with you at your facility.
This is your opportunity to "pick their brains." Take a few moments to outline your vision of what you would like to create, and to explain what you are trying to achieve. Give the supplier as many alternatives as possible so that they have the latitude they need to get creative. Try not to be too focused on your own ideas, but be receptive to alternatives that you might possibly like better. Do, however, know what you want to achieve, and be sure to communicate those points. Once you have proposals from the suppliers of your choice, it is time to do field research. Many operators feel that they are too busy to actually take time visiting various installations. If you have spoken to several owners andhave a high level of confidence in the advice you have been given, then you might be able to select a supplier without visiting installations. I personally suggest getting the opinions of "real" experts. Take a group of children of various ages to the playgrounds of the suppliers you're considering. You shouldn't have too much trouble finding a group of "product testers" willing to volunteer their time. Children are honest and opinionated. They will be very quick to tell you which playground they would prefer to return to. By now you have your proposals and sticker shock may be setting in. Soft playgrounds are expensive. How can you possibly justify spending $70,000, $100,000 or more on a playground?
The answer is this: The right choice can return many times your actual investment while increasing food, redemption and other profit centers' revenue as well. The only decision that is truly expensive is picking the wrong playground. Some playgrounds clearly do not generate much revenue, others clearly do. To produce as much revenue as possible, your playground will need to be promoted just like your skating center or any other major attraction. People in your community need to know that you have added a playground so they know where to book their parties and that they can also now bring their younger children to your rink. The supplier you ultimately choose will, in affect, be one of your partners in business for many years to come. It is important that you choose a supplier that you are comfortable with and one that will be responsive to your ongoing needs. Do your homework; you'll be glad you did.

Q: React change the Cursor pointer style on MUI Link How do I change the Cursor pointer style on MUI Link? It does not recognize style input below.
<Link
   style={{ cursor: 'pointer' }}
   onClick={() => {

We're into the final week of the year… it's a week when many folks choose to slow down, take some time off, or otherwise focus attention away from their business for a while.
There's nothing wrong with that. We all need downtime.
But it's also the last week of the year, which means a last opportunity for 2016 business expenses to go onto this year's taxes. And I'd suggest you make a small investment now that will pay off for the entire next year (and into the future).
My friends over at WP Engine have a great deal to wrap up the year.
WordPress updates are installed for you, helping to keep your site secure and ensuring you have the latest features for your site.
High-speed performance caching is handled by your server, without you needing to install or configure a complicated caching plugin.
Security protections are in place both on the server and in your WordPress installation to help keep your site free from malware and hacking attempts. You don't have to install or configure anything – it's there as soon as you set up your account.
Website backup is automatic – once per day, with the ability to perform ad hoc backups at any time when you want to make changes to your site.
Free, automatic migration from your existing WordPress host using their migration plugin. I used this myself earlier this year.
This is a managed web host – they manage a lot of these tasks that would otherwise require manual work on your part, the purchase of additional plugins, or would simply be neglected, leaving you vulnerable or without a solid website.
To wrap up the year, WP Engine is offering a great deal: 4 1/2 months free on a new annual account.
If you don't want to make an annual commitment right away, you can still get 25% off your first payment.
Those links get you their awesome year-end deal and a small commission comes back to support Photowebo.
We all hope for the best, but sometimes bad things happen. And if bad things happen to your website, you'll want to have a reliable backup of your site so that you can get back up and running as quickly as possible.
What sorts of bad things might happen? You might accidentally delete some files. There might be a problem with an upgrade to a plugin. Perhaps your web hosting company makes a mistake or has a hardware failure.
Let's look at how WordPress backup works, options for backing your site up automatically, and what managed web hosts bring to the game. Knowing how to backup a WordPress site is an important thing to understand.
To back up the things that make up your WordPress website, there are two separate things that need to be backed up. First is the WordPress database, which contains all of your posts and pages along with configuration options. The second is the set of files that make up your WordPress site. This will include the core WordPress software, plugins and themes, and images or other media that you've uploaded to your site.
If you only back up one of these two components, you won't be able to recover after something bad happens. You need both parts to restore your WordPress site.
BackupBuddy is a plugin developed by iThemes. It provides full backup services for your website, and offers flexibility to either store the backups on storage provided by iThemes (Backup Buddy Stash is included with your Backup Buddy purchase) or you can back up to Dropbox, Google Drive, Amazon, or other file storage. If you use a feature called Stash Live, introduced in early 2016, you'll also get real time backups for changes on your site. BackupBuddy also includes an easy tool for moving your site between web hosts which can help if you ever move to a new web hosting company. BackupBuddy starts at $80/year. Find out more about BackupBuddy.
VaultPress is run by Automattic and offers a variety of features, starting at $5/month. Even the basic plan involves daily backups, automated restores, and a 30-day archive of backups. Higher-level plans add security scans and realtime backup. While it's not as fully featured or configurable as BackupBuddy, it's a solid backup option. Find out more about VaultPress.
Both BackupBuddy and VaultPress are established premium services that have been in the WordPress space for a long time. If you're not willing to spend any money on a backup service, another option is the free BackWPup plugin. You'll need to do a bit more cnfiguration, and you'll need to have your own storage for the backups (Dropbox, S3, Azure, etc).
While most shared (cheap) web hosts don't perform backups of sites, many of the managed (premium) WordPress hosts do include this service as part of their offerings. Backup is one of the services they manage, hence the premium price for hosting. A managed host such as WP Engine will perform frequent automated or on-demand backups, all managed through a user-friendly interface and at no additional cost beyond your hosting fees.
When you're on the fence over shared vs. managed hosting, consider the advantage that managed hosts can offer with included services.
host and rest easier knowing that you have another layer of protection for your online presence.
As you may have seen in our WordPress web hosting recommendations, WP Engine is a top pick, offering solid managed hosting services that I've used personally for multiple websites. They're currently offering an excellent deal for new customers.
Get 3 months FREE hosting when you prepay for a year – just hit this link and use code "OctoberPress14" when you register. You'll get reliable managed hosting, save some money, and by clicking through via WP Photographers you'll help support the continued operation of this site.
Act soon though… this offer expires 10/31/14.
Regardless of your area of expertise, potential clients are finding (and judging) you based on your website. Since you're here I'm guessing you're either using WordPress or considering it for your photography website. One challenge that some have with WordPress is how to make changes to the site without fear of breaking the site.
It's easy to update content (blog posts, photos, static pages) on a WordPress site without fear of breaking something… but when you're talking about updating the theme or plugins, there's always a bit of uncertainty wondering if a change will cause something to look horrible or (even worse) result in a catastrophic error.
Smart web developers don't try out new changes on a website that's currently live to the world… they set up a test environment. They might have a separate WordPress install on their server or even on their development machine. Odds are that if you're not a web developer, you don't have this option available. If you're the average photographer, the only WordPress site you have is your live, public website.
So how do you test changes without potentially crashing your site?
The answer is a staging site – a special copy of your WordPress website designed for testing.
Both companies in our recommended best WordPress web hosts offer staging sites. WP Engine includes it with every account; SiteGround offers it as part of their "Go Geek" plan. If you're not on one of these hosts, check to see if your current web host supports a staging site (and if they don't, this might be a reason to switch).
I've used WP Engine's staging feature extensively for both my photography business website as well as another project. With a couple clicks, it creates a clone of your existing website. This staging site then contains all of your plugins, theme, blog posts, and pages. You can make changes to the staging site and view all the results on an actual website using your actual data.
If things work well, you can make those same changes on your main website and you'll know that it'll work. If you accidentally break your website, there's no real harm since you can troubleshoot and fix the problem using the test site that's only being seen by you.
Once you're done making changes on your staging site, it's just a couple of clicks to have those changes applied to your main public website that's visible to the world.
How much more comfortable would you be making changes on your website if you could do it first in a testing situation?

How to Draw a Pencil?
Kids, learn how to draw the Pencil by following the steps below.
Draw 2 parallel line in slanting position leaving some space between each other.
Inside the parallel line, draw another set of the parallel lines. It should be little shorter than the 1st set, on the left side.
Connect the 4 line with a small line, on the right side.
Draw 2 more small line parallel lines, parallel to the connecting line.
Join these lines with the connecting line, with a straight line, on top.
Repeat the step 5, for drawing the bottom line.
At the left side, starting from the end of the 1st line draw a slanting line.
Simillarly, draw another slanting line connecting the end point of a 2nd line.
Draw 2 "v", connecting the big and small parallel lines.
Draw a small curve at the corner.
Shade it with a pencil.
Now at the right end, draw a small curve on the top.
Similarly, draw another small curve on the bottom.
Finally, connect the small curve with a big curve. Our pencil drawing is completed.


On 1 April 2015, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced in Malaysia spurring a frenzy of receipt images on social media of people making their first GST payment. Also hot in the news were complaints on GST confusion and consumers alleging that they've been charged GST by companies that are not registered to collect this tax.
As a higher education student, your tuition fees are not subject to GST. Books are also on the GST-exempt list. Even the rental you pay for accommodation is exempt from this tax. So is it all rosy for a student? The answer is, not quite.
As a student, you're probably not looking forward to paying extra for the things you consumes. While GST is inevitable and here to stay, you should be a bit more savvy in knowing when you need to pay GST. The Royal Malaysian Customs recommends that consumers ensure that they pay GST only to those businesses which have been duly registered and authorised to charge GST.
To check a company's GST status, click here. Click on the "Lookup GST Status" on the bottom right to start your search. You can check the GST-registration status of the company using its business name, business registration number, or its GST number. If there is a match, that means the business has been registered for GST and authorised to charge GST.

Having consumed plenty of energetic and upbeat music during his formative years, Hoffman has honed his ability to naturally capture the natural energy of a performance – a trait that benefits his work in virtually any style.
Hoffman's analytic approach to the art translates well throughout various genres – from metal and punk through to straight-up rock and even pop. "Pop music can really benefit from that extra creative edge," he muses – "something to help set it apart and really rise above what's already out there." It's a genre in which he's had much success of late thanks to a keen ear and attention to detail when it comes to arrangement and orchestration.
A special part of the process – and one of the things that draws him to music in general – is the emotional excitement that comes with breeding ideas and building a song from the ground up, layer by layer. "Every time I press play, I wanna be bobbing my head, air drumming, and really just excited not only as a creator, but of the fan of the record I'm producing," he says, and that's a goal that extends to any project that will include his credit.


The Montana Room contains Montana History, books written by Montana Authors, and biographies of Montanan's from the infamous to those who left their mark with heroic bravery, entrepreneurial zeal, consciences attitudes, and the views of the grand Montana futures for all of us.
Please scroll down to see the steps toward completion of the Montana room.
Rooney's Quality Construction completed the heavy construction necessary to have the "back room" refurbished and become a usable space. As you can see it provides a nice large area to serve as the Montana room, separating it from the computer room and becoming a refuge for contemplation, reading, or research. Friends of the Library purchased wingback chairs and Elton Lee constructed a pair of tables [one visible] for patron use while visiting the library.
Window valences were constructed and covered in theme appropriate material by Melinda Vennard and Carol Berg. The boxes were then installed by Elton Lee.
Gerald Masse built and installed the necessary shelving to house all the volumes in the Montana room.
Melinda Vennard and Edna Dracon took it upon themselves to 'ROAD TRIP' down to Livingston where two matching wing backed chairs were found and purchased by the Friends of the Library. It was determined that both chairs needed new upholstery. Matching fabric choosen, Carol Berg went to work and finished the job expertly and in a timely fashion.
The corner table and study area was created, built and donated by Elton Lee.
The remaining bookshelves were constructed by Jerry Masse. The Montana room has now become an integral part of the Library.
Here is the finished corner with chairs, tables, bookshelves, lamp and window treatments creating a perfect space that is inviting, comfortable, and quiet. The Montana room is a perfect setting for browsing or studying the big sky topic of Montana.

Gurugram Section of Dwarka Expressway to Fully Open in 2023, Not by Year End
Property in Gurugram
The Dwarka expressway will open to commuters in stages, and the 19km section in Haryana will be fully open by early 2023, not by the year-end as announced earlier, according to senior officials with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
Currently, some sections of the expressway are in use by commuters. The next opening will be of the 700m-long bridges on the service road of Pataudi Chowk on both sides of the expressway that will allow commuters to bypass the busy junction. The cloverleaf connecting the expressway to the Delhi-Jaipur highway is likely to be ready by December.
"Our plan is to open the entire expressway by January or February, but it will not open at a go. Instead, we will progressively open it in sections, starting next week," said a senior NHAI official. "The bridges on the service road at Pataudi Chowk are nearly complete. They will be thrown open in November first week," the official added.
The official added that the road beneath the expressway up to Bajghera opened last May, facilitating movement for people travelling from Delhi and Bijwasan, and the under-construction cloverleaf near the Kherki Daula toll plaza would likely be ready by December.
The cloverleaf will have a circumference of two km and contain four loops that will enable movement towards stretches such as the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway, Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), Central Peripheral Road (CPR), and the under construction Delhi-Mumbai expressway.
The Dwarka Expressway, announced in 2007, has been conceptualised as a northern ring road between Shiv Murti on NH48 in Delhi and Kherki Daula in Gurgaon. While 18.9 km of the expressway will be in Gurgaon, 10.1 km will be in Delhi.
The work on the Gurgaon section that started in November 2019 had an initial deadline of 24 months. But the work has been repeatedly delayed, with officials blaming suspension of construction due to delays in shifting utilities, land litigation, the pandemic, and construction bans amid high pollution levels. The project also got delayed due to the suspension of work for eight months after a part of the road near Daultabad Chowk collapsed in March last year.
The Delhi portion work commenced in September 2020 and is likely to be completed by mid-2023.
While several other road projects in Gurgaon are at a standstill currently due to imposition of GRA, which bans construction activities, work on Dwarka Expressway continues since highways are exempt from the rule.
Meanwhile, residents and commuters are treating the claims made by the NHAI with skepticism. "For several months now, we have been told that the entire project would be ready by December, but as the deadline has approached, the NHAI has pushed back the date suddenly. Who is to say this will not happen again? Of course, opening sections also will help ease traffic movement, but NHAI must expedite work and ensure the entire expressway opens sooner," said Nishant Upadhyay, a Sector 84 resident.

'Carter to fly to Seoul after trip to N. Korea'
By 천성우
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is likely to fly directly to Seoul after visiting North Korea, sources said Thursday, a trip that could include a meeting with President Lee Myung-bak.
Carter will be traveling to Pyongyang next week for discussions expected to focus on North Korea's denuclearization, a peace treaty and humanitarian food aid to the impoverished communist nation. He will be accompanied by three other former heads of state ― former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, former Irish President Mary Robinson and former Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland.
"Former President Carter has expressed his wish to come to South Korea on a private jet," a government source said. "There seems to be no reason for the government to oppose this."
Carter's delegation may request a meeting with President Lee, but it has not been confirmed, they said, adding that no other details were available.
Media speculation is rife that Carter will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-il during his three-day trip to Pyongyang that starts on Tuesday.
In 1994, Carter met with then-North Korean leader Kim Il-sung and arranged a bilateral denuclearization deal during the first North Korean nuclear crisis.

Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton + More Read 'Mean Tweets' [Watch]
The second all-country music edition of Mean Tweets aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live! after the CMA Awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 2). Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Florida Georgia Line, Willie Nelson and more took part.
Not everyone laughed out loud at their "mean tweet." Lambert seemed less than amused by someone who wrote, "In case of a national emergency, all traffic will be redirected to Miranda Lambert's forehead." Cassadee Pope raised a middle finger to the tweeter who took aim at her arm tattoo.
Parton seemed to enjoy being compared to a prostitute, however, Nelson more or less agreed with the Twitter user who said "Willie Nelson, you're getting pretty crusty, pal."
Trace Adkins, Randy Houser, Bonnie Raitt and Cole Swindell were also targets of Mean Tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
"Yee yee my a--hole," someone tweeted at Granger Smith, aka Earl Dibbles Jr.
"Bonnie Raitt looks like the aunt who would have a few too many at your mom's birthday party and try to fight your dad," another said of Raitt.
"Why does the blonde in Little Big Town have hair like a Zoolander villain," a Twitter user wrote about Kimberly Schlapman. The blonde singer laughed it off with her three "Better Man" bandmates.
Mean Tweets is a regular segment on Kimmel's late night talk show. This segment came after the 50th anniversary CMA Awards, which saw stars like Parton honored, and artists like Little Big Town and Maren Morris recognized with awards. Dan + Shay, Jana Kramer and Brett Eldredge also took part.
