Tara, the O’Hara family homestead!
With the plantation decimated by the war, Scarlett vows to never go hungry again!
The plantation’s soil must have been contaminated by Union soldiers during Sherman’s March, because Tara Flour is making people sick!
Consumer Reports’ food safety and policy experts recommend that consumers stop eating products that contain the additive called tara flour.
Never go hungry again? But wasn’t Scarlett refusing to eat to keep her tiny waist?
This is as bizarre as it is shocking. Taking uppers to keep her weight down wasn’t the only terrible thing that MGM made Judy Garland do early in her career. A year later, only the gingham dress was the same when she appeared in The Wizard of OZ.
The updates on Tony Dow’s condition have been worrisome for a while. So today’s news isn’t unexpected, but that makes it no less sad.
UPDATE: This message was posted on Tony Dow’s Facebook page one hour ago.
This morning Tony’s wife Lauren, who was very distraught, had notified us that Tony had passed and asked that we notify all his fans. As we are sure you can understand, this has been a very trying time for her. We have since received a call from Tony’s daughter-in-law saying that while Tony is not doing well, he has not yet passed. Tony’s son Christopher and his daughter-in-law Melissa have also been by his side comforting him, and we will keep you posted on any future updates.
Update: It’s been confirmed, by way of Jon Provost, that Tony is now gone.
Coming on Tuesday to a home theater setup very near me, for a 3rd anniversary viewing…
One of the few remaining vestiges of the once-mighty Digital Equipment Corporation is about to fall.

In 1986, Fortune magazine named DEC founder and CEO Ken Olsen as America’s most successful entrepreneur.

It would have been laughable in 1986 to suggest that within five years Olsen would be forced out of the company he began in 1957, but that was exactly what happened. By 1996 the end of DEC, the former Massachusetts economic powerhouse, was in sight, after 40 years in business.

In 1991 there was a recession that hit Massachusetts particularly hard. Every Massachusetts minicomputer company quickly declined, as the PC revolution took over. DEC, along with Data General, Prime, Wang, and Apollo all disappeared, but the Internet revolution came in just as quickly in 1995, and the economy turned around.

P.S. Allison Acoustics was another Massachusetts business that went under during the recession that began in ’91, when Roy Allison’s bank pulled his line of credit.
Clips from Better Call Saul that tell a small part of the very large story.
Pryce is a clueless nerd with access to controlled substances. He wants to make a fast buck as a supplier to a drug dealer.
Mike meets Nacho and the first deal is made. Mike offers words of wisdom to Pryce.
Pryce makes his fast bucks and spends them foolishly. Pryce ignores Mike’s advice and they part ways.
Nacho takes advantage of Pryce’s naivete to set him up for some serious trouble.
Spoiler: Later on, Mike becomes Nacho’s boss. It’s complicated.
