Merry Christmas to all, Until next month...Hugs, Kathy All Things Michigan... 13 Reasons Why Michigan Is the BEST State Guess what. It’s time to wish one of your dearest friends a happy birthday. No, we’re not talking about your sorority sister or your BFF since kindergarten. We’re talking about that one place that is near and dear to your heart. That’s right, it’s Michigan’s birthday – its 183rd, to be precise. And to celebrate, we’re giving you a few reminders about why the Great Lakes State is the very best in all the union. 1.We get 10 cent returns—These things come in handy when you need a little pock- et change. 2.Cereal was born in Battle Creek—You know you'd be lost without your morning bowl of Rice Krispies. 3.We've got the best apples on Earth—Speaking of a well balanced diet, a delicious Michigan Honey Crisp rounds out any meal. 4.But also the best cherries—Not to mention our cherries... The perfect "cherry on top" for snack time. 5.The world can thank us for the modern day shopping mall—First came the Kala- mazoo Mall, the first outdoor pedestrian mall in the United States. Then Ameri- ca's first fully-enclosed shopping center, Northland Mall, was introduced in 1954 in Southfield. You're welcome, mall rats. 6.As well as the electronic home appliance—Major appliance brands like Whirl- pool, Frigidaire, and Electrolux all have a past in Michigan. And you're forever grateful you don't have to haul your dirty clothes to the laundromat every week because of their contributions. 7.Mackinac Island attracts tourists worldwide—They come for the fudge, and stay for the luxurious bike rides. 8.As does the notorious past and present of Detroit—No matter your feelings about Detroit, you have to admit the Motor City inspires all kinds of intrigue from visitors from across the globe. 9.Our sports teams are the most fun to watch—If you've been to a game, you know what we're talking about. 10.Our beaches have all the benefits of beauty and none of the salt water—Because there's nothing worse than getting salt water in your eyes. 11.We invented most of the musical genres in pop culture—It's not just Motown. It's Madonna from Bay City, punk rock legend Iggy Pop from Muskegon, and rappers like Emimem from Detroit who've inspired countless music artists. 12.And you can't forget the modern-day vehicle—Where would we be with access to a set of wheels? 13.The UP—Most people tend to think of Michigan as the Mitten State. But we've got so much more in the Upper Peninsula. These are obviously only some of the top reasons why Michigan is the best. In this time of isolation, here are some ideas to beat the doldrums of boredom! Some are December practical, and some may be outside your com- fort level.

Me: When I was your age, I had to call the radio station, wait on hold for 30 minutes to request a song. Then I had to sit, by my boom box for an hour with a blank cassette tape for my song to play so I could record it!!!! Daughter: I don’t know what that means. • Shout out to everyone who can still remember their childhood phone num- ber, but can’t remember the password they created yesterday! You’re my people! • What rock group has four guys who don’t sing? (Mount Rushmore) • I’ve finally reached The Wonder Years—I wonder where I parked my car, I wonder where I left my phone, I wonder where my glasses are, I wonder what day it is! • How to tell if you’re an adult: You gain 30 pounds overnight, you’d rather sleep than go out, everything hurts, comfort before style, you have a favorite spatula, everything feels like a chore, college students look like they’re 12 years old, and you’re always annoyed!

  • The Musical Number and the Sitcom
    ECHO: a music-centered journal www.echo.ucla.edu Volume 5 Issue 1 (Spring 2003) It May Look Like a Living Room…: The Musical Number and the Sitcom By Robin Stilwell Georgetown University 1. They are images firmly established in the common television consciousness of most Americans: Lucy and Ethel stuffing chocolates in their mouths and clothing as they fall hopelessly behind at a confectionary conveyor belt, a sunburned Lucy trying to model a tweed suit, Lucy getting soused on Vitameatavegemin on live television—classic slapstick moments. But what was I Love Lucy about? It was about Lucy trying to “get in the show,” meaning her husband’s nightclub act in the first instance, and, in a pinch, anything else even remotely resembling show business. In The Dick Van Dyke Show, Rob Petrie is also in show business, and though his wife, Laura, shows no real desire to “get in the show,” Mary Tyler Moore is given ample opportunity to display her not-insignificant talent for singing and dancing—as are the other cast members—usually in the Petries’ living room. The idealized family home is transformed into, or rather revealed to be, a space of display and performance. 2. These shows, two of the most enduring situation comedies (“sitcoms”) in American television history, feature musical numbers in many episodes. The musical number in television situation comedy is a perhaps surprisingly prevalent phenomenon. In her introduction to genre studies, Jane Feuer uses the example of Indians in Westerns as the sort of surface element that might belong to a genre, even though not every example of the genre might exhibit that element: not every Western has Indians, but Indians are still paradigmatic of the genre (Feuer, “Genre Study” 139).

  • Page 1 of 11 LINCOLN MILL HISTORY Below Is a Summary Of
    LINCOLN MILL HISTORY Below is a summary of what I know about the Lincoln mills. The last of these structures stands on property we own. Early Years In the very late 1600s an impoundment later known as Hunter’s Pond or the Mordecai Lincoln Road Pond was created by constructing a dam at the mouth of Bound Brook. The current mill structure was built next to this pond. The mill site straddles the patent line agreed upon in 1639 as the boundary between the former Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth Colonies. South of the line is the Town of Scituate, founded in 1636. North is the Town of Cohasset. Cohasset was settled in 1670, though it was formerly part of Hingham. It became a separate town in 1770 and was part of Suffolk County until 1793 when it became part of Norfolk County. Prior to 1695 there was no dam or road over Bound Brook. Instead a little distance downstream from the current road location, at a point pushing into the Gulph River estuary, people forded back and forth between Scituate and Beechwood. See the map below. From A Narrative History of the Town of Cohasset, Massachusetts by Edwin Victor Bigelow Page 1 of 11 Original Mills and Dam In 1695 Mordecai Lincoln (blacksmith by trade and the great-great-great grandfather of Abraham Lincoln) built a house on the road fording the stream. He also built a series of mills, but weak water flow from Bound Brook was a problem. The flow was only sufficient to pond water for a couple of days of operation at any one spot.

To my Fatke?* PREFACE The work here offered the public was begun in 1894 at the suggestion of Mr. S. S. McClure and Mr. J. S. Phillips, editors of " McClure's Magazine." Their desire was to add to our knowledge of Abraham Lincoln by collecting and pre- serving the reminiscences of such of his contemporaries as were then living. In undertaking the work it was deter- mined to spare neither labor nor money and in this deter- mination Mr. McClure and his associates have never wa- vered. Without the sympathy, confidence, suggestion and criticism which they have given the work it would have been impossible. They established in their editorial rooms what might be called a Lincoln Bureau and from there an or- ganized search was made for reminiscences, pictures and documents. To facilitate the work all persons possessing or knowing of Lincoln material were asked through the Magazine to communicate with the editor. The response was immediate and amazing.

  • LINCOLN BICENTENNIAL and Farm
    “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that ‘all men are created equal.’” “Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow, this ground — The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.” “It is rather for us, the living, to stand here, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the Lincoln1809 Bicentennial -2009last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” The Life of Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 near Hodgenville Ken- tucky, in a one-room log cabin.

Societal Relevance as Success Factor of TV Series: The Creators’ Perception Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Zurich for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marcel Verhoeven Accepted in the Spring Term 2019 on the Recommendation of the Doctoral Committee: Prof. Dr. Gabriele Siegert (main advisor) Prof. Dr. M. Bjørn von Rimscha (second advisor) Zurich, 2019 0 Abstract Media mediate societally relevant messages in formats that disseminate information. However, the communication of ideas and opinions on societal issues also takes place in entertainment formats such as fictional TV series. Furthermore, mediation in entertainment is often regarded as more effective than dissemination through information formats, (also) due to the evading of recipients’ selection barriers. The importance of investigating TV series bases on the format’s large narrative space that enables the communication and repetition of ideas and messages and on the format’s popularity with audiences and, consequently, with broadcasters. Countless different influences shape the composition of TV series’ content and the inclusion of societally relevant messages. One potentially very important reason for incorporating specific messages and content elements in TV series is the extent to which decision-makers regard societal relevance as a success factor.

  • Understanding and Appreciating the Wonder Years
    Understanding and Appreciating the Wonder Years John H. Lounsbury Growing Up Forgotten, thus Joan Lipsitz entitled her landmark study and captured the major reality revealed by her research. Subtitled, A Review of Research and Programs Concerning Early Adolescence, this 1977 publication was instrumental in bringing recognition to early adolescence as a distinct stage of human development. While our language limited the classification of human to infants, children, adolescents, and adults, the years of transition between childhood and full adolescence comprise a unique stage, one not well served by our society and its institutions. In fact, these years have not been seen as constituting an important period at all. Lipsitz' study documented the limited research, attention, and advocacy focused on young adolescents. The beliefs generally held about them have been largely negative and are more myths than realities. Gradually, however, in the last two decades society has come to acknowledge this stage of life as a period that warrants special attention. The booming middle school movement is focused on providing an appropriate educational program for 10-15 year olds. The Central Importance of Early Adolescence Young adolescents do not just get bigger; distinctively different bodies emerge from these growing years. More extensive physical and personal changes now occur than at any other time of life. While the physical changes are the most obvious, profound changes are taking place in mental, social, emotional, and moral development. The dramatic physical changes do not occur at the same time or at the same rate. The fact that girls mature a year and a half to two years ahead of boys is widely recognized, but the tremendous variation in the rate and timing of the developmental processes of both boys and girls is not so well known.
