    New On Video & DVD Yes Man Jim Carrey returns to hilarious form with this romantic comedy in the same vein as the Carrey classic Liar Liar. After a few stints in more serious features like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and The Number 23, Carrey seems right at home playing Carl, a divorcé who starts out the film depressed and withdrawn, scared of taking a risk. Pressured by his best friend, Peter (Bradley Cooper), to get his act together or be stuck with a lonely life, Carl attends a New Age self-help seminar intended to change "no men" like Carl into "yes men" willing to meet life's challenges with gusto. Carl is reluctant at first, but finds the seminar to be ultimately life-changing when he's coerced into giving the "say yes" attitude a try. As the first opportunity to say yes presents itself, Carl hesitantly utters the three-letter word, setting the stage for a domino effect of good rewards, and giving Carrey a platform to show off his comic chops. But over time Carl realizes that saying yes to everything indiscriminately can reap results as complicated and messy as his life had become when saying "no" was his norm. The always-quirky Zooey Deschanel adds her signature charm as Carl's love interest, Allison. An unlikely match at first glance, the pair actually develop great chemistry as the story progresses, the actors play- ing off each other's different styles of humor. Rhys Darby also shines as Carl's loveable but clueless boss, and That 70s Show's Danny Masterson appears as another one of Carl's friends.

    / Journal of Clan Ewing 15 NEWTON C. EWING Source: Bill Ewing, Tyler, Texas. Dear Jim, You have mentioned several times that it is of interest to other Ewings, stories about the old days and history as related to our Ewings. I have been reluctant to pass on some personal family data since it relates to the Civil War and may offend some of my "Yankee Cousins" at this late date ... but having said that I will give you some information. [Editor's note: I am of the opinion that history is history and we were are not responsible for what happened a 100 or 200 years before our time. When information about a family is published in the journal, we never know how that information may help someone that is trying to locate their ancestors. Also, the more that I learn about the earlier generations, it makes me appreciate more what our ancestors went through to make this country what it is today and the freedoms that we enjoy.] My [Bill Ewing] great great great granddad was Newton Alfonzo Ewing son of Alexander, son of Nathaniel, son of Joshua (1704-1753). Nathaniel Ewing and wife, Rebecca Osborne, raised family in Statesville, North Carolina area. Alexander died in 1817 and wife, Sophia Crawford, took her family including Newton (19 years) to Henderson County, Tennessee in 1828. The next year after arriving there Newton married Nancy Lorant and they had four kids before moving to Rockport, Arkansas in 1837. He evidently received medical training during that period because he was shown to be an MD in oldest sons will later and referred to as Dr.

  • Dallas (1978 TV Series)
    Dallas (1978 TV series) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about the original 1978–1991 television series. For the sequel, see Dallas (2012 TV series). Dallas is a long-running American prime time television soap opera that aired from April 2, 1978, to May 3, 1991, on CBS. The series revolves around a wealthy and feuding Texan family, the Ewings, who own the independent oil company Ewing Oil and the cattle-ranching land of Southfork. The series originally focused on the marriage of Bobby Ewing and Pamela Barnes, whose families were sworn enemies with each other. As the series progressed, oil tycoon J.R. Ewing grew to be the show's main character, whose schemes and dirty business became the show's trademark.[1] When the show ended in May 1991, J.R. was the only character to have appeared in every episode. The show was famous for its cliffhangers, including the Who shot J.R.? mystery. The 1980 episode Who Done It remains the second highest rated prime-time telecast ever.[2] The show also featured a "Dream Season", in which the entirety of the ninth season was revealed to have been a dream of Pam Ewing's. After 14 seasons, the series finale "Conundrum" aired in 1991. The show had a relatively ensemble cast. Larry Hagman stars as greedy, scheming oil tycoon J.R. Ewing, stage/screen actressBarbara Bel Geddes as family matriarch Miss Ellie and movie Western actor Jim Davis as Ewing patriarch Jock, his last role before his death in 1981. The series won four Emmy Awards, including a 1980 Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series win for Bel Geddes.

  • Josephus/Joseph M. Ewing and His Descendants T
    Vol. 16, No. 2 (May 2010) Ewing Family Journal 1 Josephus/Joseph M. Ewing and His Descendants T. Edgar Campbell (tim at TopNotchPersonnel dot com) The subject of this sketch, Joseph (born Josephus) M. Ewing, was born circa 1843, probably either in Cobb County or Paulding County, Georgia, the son of Green Berry Ewing and Rhoda Martin. The Ewing families who migrated to America in the early 18th century probably came primarily from Ireland, but were originally from Scotland. They are therefore part of the massive group of 18th century immigrants to America known as the Scot-Irish. The story of the Josephus M. Ewing branch of the Ewing family is not one of fame or great prosperity, but is of interest in that the lives of its members are very representative of the average agrarian family in the south from 1845 to the 1940s, and the great movement 'off the farm' by so many thereafter. The migration of these Ewings from rural Georgia to rural Alabama, westward to Texas, and, for some, on to Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona, is representative of a pattern followed by countless southerners in search of better and cheaper land, relief from the tyranny of the Reconstruction Era, and perhaps the thrill of adventure. Josephus M. Ewing's father, Green Berry Ewing, was born about 1802 in Georgia. Most Ewing researchers believe Green Berry Ewing to be the son of one William Ewing who acquired land in Jackson County, Georgia, in 1807 (see Figure 1). The basis for this belief is that after William Ewing apparently died intestate in Newton County, Georgia, circa 1827, Green Berry Ewing appears to be living in 1830 on a tract of land that was formerly William Ewing's homestead.
