Peace,

LOL, Steve. One of my Idaho uncles makes great jerky & salami. His wife is allergic to milk, and it seems that a lot of manufacturers use
milk solids to extend their products. This year, though, I'm sticking to just fruits & vegetables.

Another wonderful weather day. That wonderful ocean-induced overcast sky kept the temperatures in the mid-70's.
Saw a commercial for Knott's Berry Farm tonight - they've dropped the price of admission. Adults get in for the old kid's price ($22.95) & kids
get in for $9.95! Yeah, the economy is getting better...
Finally starting to see some rebellion in the cat ranks over the kittens. One of old cats has taken to peeing in the tub at night. Just love starting my day cleaning the tub...grrrrrrr.
Tonight, Sunday, as usual, CBS opens the night with '60 Minutes', then offers a rerun of 'The Guardian' and then the movie 'Missing Pieces'.
NBC starts with 2 hours of 'Dateline', then a rerun of 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent', followed by a fresh 'Crime & Punishment'.

guitar for the first time, smashing barriers between folk and rock, and was booed by folk-music purists.

Disney Buys Stories (Cheap)
9 PA Coal Miners
The nine Pennsylvania coal miners who were trapped underground for 77 hours have sold the TV and book rights to their story to The Walt Disney Co. for $150,000 each, their lawyer said Saturday.
The deal includes a movie for Disney's ABC network and a book to be published by the Burbank company's Hyperion Publishing division, Pittsburgh attorney Thomas Crawford said in an interview.
Crawford said he received more than 120 offers for the miners' stories.

'Wonderpants'
Women have declared Marks & Spencer's new bulge-enhancing wonderpants for men a truly swell idea.
Yesterday we told how the company had developed the upfront undies, called Urban Survivor, to do for men's tackle what the Wonderbra has done for women's boobs.
To find out what effect the £8 not-so-smalls would have on the ladies, we sent model Jeremy Frisbee out on a "package" tour of London's streets.
With him was pal Edward Cutcliffe, 22, who was wearing his normal no-support Calvin Kleins.
Without the benefit of the "pulling pants", poor Edward was ignored by the girls, who only had eyes for Jeremy.
For all the details, 'Wonderpants'

Released From Jail
Steve-O
MTV entertainer Steve-O has been released from jail after posting $150,000 bail and agreeing to return to Louisiana to face charges of obscenity and of staging a stunt that injured a teenager at a bar.
Steve-O, whose given name is Stephen Glover, was arrested Monday on a fugitive warrant from Terrebonne Parish, La., on charges including felony obscenity.
The judge who released Glover on Friday ordered him to return on Aug. 16 and prove that he went to Terrebonne Parish to face the charges, court officials said.
Glover, 28, one of several regulars on MTV's program "Jackass," allegedly exposed himself while on stage at a bar in Houma, southwest of New Orleans. Glover also allegedly took part
in a stunt in which a bouncer slammed a 19-year-old headfirst to the ground.

10 Worst Concept Albums
Back before long-form videos and CD-ROMs existed, musicians used the concept album to overextend their half-baked ideas. Not content with letting one song do its
job, groups charged an entire collection with the mission of delivering a single dunderheaded message. What follows are the worst of a very bad lot. As we count
down these aberrations, let us be grateful that the concept-album trend seems to be a thing of the past--at least for now.

Japan's Kirin Brewery
'The Old Kingdom Beer'
Tapping a recipe enshrined in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, Kirin Brewery Co., Japan's second biggest beermaker, said Friday it has revived a 4,400-year old brew fit for the Pharaohs.
Dubbed "The Old Kingdom Beer," the new old-drink has no froth, a dark tea color and contains 10-percent alcohol — about double the punch of contemporary beers.
"It also has a taste very different from today's beer," Kirin spokesman Takaomi Ishii said. "It tastes a little like white wine."
Another difference is that the ancient Egyptian beer did not use hops, an additive that gives modern beer its bitter taste, Ishii said. But both are based on barley.
Kirin has no plans to sell "The Old Kingdom Beer" commercially, and said it developed the beer for research purposes. The 30 liters (8 gallons) brewed in the current batch
will be presented at an October conference of the Master Brewers Association of America in Texas.
Kirin, which has an alliance with U.S.-based Anheuser Busch, was Japan's best selling beer for 48 years, before losing the top spot to rival Asahi Breweries in 2001.

Whitney Received Record Gift
Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney Museum of American Art has received a $200 million donation of postwar American art that brings world-class status to the museum's Abstract Expressionist and Pop Art collections.
The gift comprises 86 works by artists such as Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Ellsworth Kelly, Barnett Newman and Jackson Pollock, The New York Times reported Saturday.
It is believed to be the largest donation of postwar American art to any museum.
Ten of the Whitney's 40 trustees donated 15 works from their personal collections. Seventy-one others were found in studios, galleries and auction houses, where they were purchased as gifts for the museum.
The donated works will be displayed at the Whitney from Oct. 24 to Jan. 26.

New Pearls of Wisdom from the King
Elvis Speaks!
Elvis Presley preferred plain clothes to sequined jumpsuits off-stage, blamed fried foods for his weight gain, and swung his hips to "put on a show," according to new snips of old, unpublished interviews.
Men's magazine, Esquire, on Friday said it will run a page of quotes in an upcoming issue that were culled from a handful of never-before-seen interviews the entertainer gave from 1954 to 1972.
The quotes contain few if any startling revelations, but taken together they bolster the popular image of the King of Rock 'n' Roll as a man who came from humble origins, indulged an
out-sized appetite and delighted in simple pleasures.
Following are some selected Presley pearls, as reprinted by Esquire.
-- "I wouldn't call girls a hobby. It's a pastime."
-- "Any audience, as a rule, goes for a fast number."
-- "I don't like to be called Elvis the Pelvis. It's one of the most childish expressions I've ever heard coming from an adult. But if they wanna call me that, there's nothin' I can
do about it, so I just have to accept it."
-- "When I started singing, I weighed 153 pounds. I weigh 184 now. I haven't gotten any taller, but I'm putting on a little more weight."
-- "I like pork chops and country ham, creamed potatoes, stuff like that. Redeye gravy. It comes from ham, bacon, stuff like that. It's the grease that you fry it in. I eat a lot of Jell-O. Fruit Jell-O."
-- "In public, I like real conservative clothes, something that's not too flashy. But onstage, I like 'em as flashy as you can get 'em."
-- "The only kind of trouble I've ever been in is when I was stealing eggs when I was little. I think I know right from wrong."
-- "The first car I bought was the most beautiful car I've ever seen. It was secondhand, but I parked it outside of my hotel the day I got it. I sat up all night, just lookin' at it."
-- "You have to put on a show for people in order to draw a crowd. If I just stood out there and sang and didn't move a muscle, then people would say, 'My goodness, I can stay home
and listen to his records.' You have to give them a show."
-- "The thing I like about success is to know that you've got so many friends. A lot of real close friends that I've made since I've been in the business."
-- "I've had a pretty good lesson in human nature. It's more important to try to surround yourself with people who can give you a little happiness, because you can only pass through
this life once, Jack. You don't come back for an encore."

Tiffany Glass
Tiffany stained and blown glass is in vogue again, a century after its creator illuminated homes with his trademark lamps, windows, bowls and vases during the Art Nouveau movement.
While Louis Comfort Tiffany's works were always pricey, many of them are now worth the price of a house, or at least the down payment.
The appeal of glass works by Tiffany, the greatest American decorative artist of the 20th century, is obvious: his beautiful, handcrafted objects enchant with vibrant colors and designs
inspired by flowers, fruits, insects, birds and geometry.
Louis C. Tiffany's preeminence as America's leading decorator was acknowledged by an invitation to redecorate the White House in the winter of 1882-3, Koch said.
One of three sons of Charles Tiffany, founder of Tiffany & Co., Louis' (1848-1933) influence in decorative arts continued until the late 1920s, when tastes shifted from the flowery Art
Nouveau style to simpler Art Deco lines. His Tiffany Studios, a small group of artists and craftsmen based on Madison Avenue in New York City, filed for bankruptcy in 1932. By the 1940s,
their works were so undervalued that Tiffany lamps were being smashed to recycle lead for the World War II effort.

Lobster Capital Of Nebraska
Rockville
Like the annual hoopla surrounding the uncorking of the famed Beaujolais Nouveau wine in France or the feasting during the sardine run in South Africa, thousands of people are descending
upon this tiny Midwestern town to gorge on - of all things - lobsters.
Lest anyone think that the nearby Middle Loup River is teeming with crustaceans, there is a simple explanation to Rockville's claim as "The Lobster Capital of Nebraska."
"We fly them in from Maine," said Jane Weber, owner of Jane's Tavern.
With no particular claim to fame to bring tourists to the village of 111 people, the local tavern began hosting "Rock Stock" seven years ago.
"It's a hell of a party," said Weber's husband, Chuck. "We get people flying in from California and all over the place. Don't ask me why, though."
Jane Weber said the event Saturday is expected to draw 7,000 people this year to the town about 100 miles northwest of Lincoln.
