Lee Majors (born April 23, 1939) is an American prolific character actor of stage, primarily known for his roles in movies, sitcoms and television who also starred in four long-running ABC TV series over four decades.
The naturally blond-headed Majors is best known for his roles as Barbara Stanwyck's husband's illegitimate son, Heath Barkley, on The Big Valley (1965-1969), as Arthur Hill's law partner/friend, Jess Brandon, on Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law (1971-1974), as Colonel Steve Austin, on The Six Million Dollar Man (1974-1978), and as Colt Seavers on The Fall Guy (1981-1986). He also had a recurring role as Col. Seymour Kooze in Son of the Beach. Read Full Bio >>
Majors was born on 23 April 1939 as Harvey Lee Yeary II in the Detroit suburb of Wyandotte, Michigan. He was the only child of Carl Yeary, who was killed in a work related accident and Alice Yeary, who was killed in a car accident. In 1941, when Yeary was only two, he was adopted by his uncle and aunt, Harvey & Mildred Yeary, and moved with them to Middlesboro, Kentucky, where they had a son, Bill. They decided to raise Harvey, their own way, and he was raised with tremendous influence. Physical comforts didn’t prevent him from being taught the rules and manners of southern culture. While participating in many outdoor activities, he also spent time in the attic, searching for old articles, dwelling in his past. At age 12, Harvey could read the newspapers and found the numerous stories that related to his mother’s death. He kept what he had found quiet but as a result suffered depression. He resented his parents for keeping the truth from him, but overtime, his shock turned into motivation.
Since his older brother had been a football star in school, he tirelessly committed himself to the sport. When he was enrolled at Middlesboro High School, he participated in as many sports as he could, from track to football. He was also one of the best receivers in the school’s history. All classmates had noticed this handsome young athlete. According to a high school coach, he said that Harvey was a great athlete, did very well in school and had great character. Yeary graduated in 1957, and earned a scholarship to Indiana University, where he competed in more sports. Yeary left Indiana University in 1959 and transferred to Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond, Kentucky after he got into a fight at a fraternity house. After being transfered, he was only allowed to play with his new teammates, who he didn't know. He also continued relishing in the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff during practice. He played in his first game the following year. But during his second-half kick off return, he suffered a severe back injury at the beginning of the football season, which left him paralyzed for two weeks, and ended his football career. He was rushed to the Emergency Room, where he rested in a hospital bed for 24 hours, unable to feel his legs. Despite the discomfort, Harvey was determined to recover completely, but was growing restless and lonely. When an audition came up at college, his football buddies encouraged him to try acting. He performed plays at the Pioneer Playhouse in Danville, Illinois. Yeary graduated from EKU in 1962 with a degree in both History and Physical Education, which gave him the option of becoming a teacher.
Yeary adopted the stage name Lee Majors taken from his own middle name and from that of his cousin Johnny Majors, runner-up for the 1956 Heisman Trophy, and a long-time football coach, at Iowa State University (1968-1972), the University of Pittsburgh (1973-1976 and 1993-1996), and the University of Tennessee (1977-1992). At 25, Majors' first role was in Strait-Jacket (1964), starring leading actress Joan Crawford.
After graduating, Majors received an offer to try-out for the St. Louis Cardinals football team; however, he turned it down to instead search for a means to support he couldn't keep those jobs, as he didn't have the proper qualifications. The only job he could find was at the Los Angeles Park and Recreation Department as the Recreation Director for North Hollywood Park. It was there that Majors met many famous actors and industry professionals, including Dick Clayton, who had been James Dean's agent. Clayton suggested Lee attend his acting school. It took one year of studying in order for Clayton to help Majors start his career. Lee also studied at Estelle Harmon's acting school at MGM. At 25, Majors' first role was in Strait-Jacket (1964), starring leading actress Joan Crawford.
In 1965 Majors’ first guest-starring role was on an episode of Gunsmoke. This also led to other roles on other TV shows such as, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Bracken's World, two episodes of Marcus Welby, M.D. with Robert Young and James Brolin, Alias Smith and Jones, The Sixth Sense, he also reprised his role as Col. Steve Austin in The Bionic Woman with Lindsay Wagner for 8 episodes, 2 episodes of The Love Boat, among many others. In 1995, after a six-year-absence, he came back to do more guest-starring appearances, such as Lonesome Dove, Promised Land, Walker, Texas Ranger, V.I.P., The War Next Door, Jake 2.0, and he guest-starred on the popular sitcom, Will and Grace, where he played Alan Arkin’s buddy Burt. He also had a recurring role on the short-lived series Son of the Beach, as Col. Seymour Kooze. He also appeared as himself on popular series such as Family Guy, but with guest characters such as, Married to the Kellys, The Game and most recently, According to Jim, which he played God.
That same year, Majors got his big break when he beat out over 400 young actors, including Burt Reynolds, for the co-starring role of Heath Barkley in a new western series, The Big Valley, for ABC, which starred legendary screen actress Barbara Stanwyck. Also starring on the show was another newcomer, Linda Evans, who played Heath's younger sister, Audra. According to A&E Biography's narrator, Bill Mumy, early in the first season after Stanwyck’s character was rescued from an earthquake (which was the title's episode), Majors & Stanwyck both had a violent disagreement. She wanted to rule the show, herself, however, his southern instincts kicked in and he argued that he should drive. Off-screen, he threw a huge temper tantrum, hence, series’ star Barbara Stanwyck gave him the silent treatment for days. When it was clear, she was ready to speak with him, she felt that her point had been made. Afterwards, both Majors’ & Stanwyck’s chemistry developed an on- and off-screen mother and son relationship. The show was an immediate hit, and he often worked longer hours on the set, studying and remembering each line. Despite the fact that he was not a horseman, he quickly learned to ride for the role. On three separate episodes, his character Heath suffered whippings, which took an emotional toll on the actor. Majors went on to do some more films such as Will Penny (1968) with Charlton Heston. That same year, he was offered the chance to star in Midnight Cowboy (1969), but The Big Valley was renewed for another season, and he was forced to decline the role which went to Jon Voight. When The Big Valley was finally cancelled in 1969, he signed a long-term contract with Universal Studios, who thought they had a breakout star on their hands.
In 1970, Majors joined the cast of The Virginian for the last season, the following year, his next role was that of Arthur Hill's partner, Jess Brandon, on Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law, which garnered critical acclaim for three seasons on ABC. He wasn’t very happy with his role. Head of Universal Television, Frank Price suggested to Majors to take the part; which was a good departure for boy who grew up in Kentucky. On every episode, he would wear new suits and solve cases with his boss; while memorizing legal words. In one episode, his girlfriend, Farrah Fawcett, guest-starred. During this time, as the series progressed, he was frustrated by the restrictions of his role. He felt that his talent for Western and Action roles were being wasted. But it seemed that all Western roles were fading away.
Majors' co-starring role on the hit legal series Owen Marshall led him to the ultimate role of a lifetime, when in 1973, he starred as Col. Steve Austin, an ex-astronaut and test pilot with bionic limbs in the telemovie, The Six Million Dollar Man on ABC. The network decided to turn it into a weekly series early in 1974. This program made Majors a pop icon of the 1970s, and was seen in over 70 countries. Co-starring on the show was a familiar character actor, Richard Anderson, who played the role of Col. Austin's boss, Oscar Goldman, and Alan Oppenheimer before Martin E. Brooks, as Col. Austin's doctor, Rudy Wells. The three actors created a unique chemistry on the set. Lee also invited his then wife, Farrah Fawcett, to guest-star in four episodes, and both Majors and Fawcett were on the cover of magazines everywhere. He also made his directorial debut in 1975, on an episode in which Fawcett appeared.
One of the episodes was the daredevil stunts. The more dangerous ones done by professionals; and were done by Lee himself. He took on the wild tide, when an alien stuntman was unable to carry on his job, he attempted a risky areal maneuver on a tram high above the mountains; aided by safety cables; Lee made it within 6 ft. of the tram. Thanks to Lee, the directors got the shot he needed; but even after completing the stunt, he was uneasy. During the show's third season, the producers gave Majors a chance to have his character experience some love in his life, namely Jamie Sommers, (played by actress Lindsay Wagner). Steve and Jamie's romance ignites before she is injured in a skydiving accident and is bionically rebuilt, comparable to him, except with an ear instead of an eye. At the end of the two-part episode, Jamie dies. ABC received dozens of letters from upset fans who wanted Wagner's character brought back from the dead. This was done, and eventually the character was the star of a spin-off show, The Bionic Woman, for NBC, therefore, the romance was over and Jamie lost her memory of Steve. Both shows remained in the Top 10 for the next three and a half seasons. In 1977, though his second wife was able to leave Charlie’s Angels, she was currently under contract, Lee couldn’t, and was still under contract with Universal Pictures. That April, The Six Million Dollar Man, filed a lawsuit to force him to report to work due to stipulations within his contract. When he didn’t report to work that June, studio executives had other plans. Days before the next season’s shows were filming, Universal gave in, Majors got a raise and was delighted that he came back to the show, but ratings began to decline. When The Six Million Dollar Man was canceled in March 1978, after 100 episodes and followed by The Bionic Woman, a couple of months later, Majors was about to star in box office movies, but the fallout from Majors’ negotiations threatened his movie career.
Long before Richard Anderson would co-star with Majors on The Six Million Dollar Man, Majors’ professional and longtime friendship began with him in 1965, when he guest-starred on an episode of The Big Valley, where he was impressed by Majors. He later guest-starred with Majors on The Fall Guy, in the episode, Inside, Outside. In later years, long before he was concerned about the star's health, Anderson said of his old friend, "I had at least one or even two more missions for Majors himself, and that was to star in three movies. I realized was that after a cult show that had been cancelled for 10 years, and with the revival movies being difficult to shot production, I had to get the project moving to make the first one." Prior to filming the movies, Richard also said, "While the movies were shooting, Majors & I traveled to England for a charity event for blind children, that was headed by Princess Margaret. After studying a short scene, I along with everybody, except Majors, who all rode their bikes together." Then, in a 2002 A&E Biography interview, he also said of Richard’s own family who were devout fans of The Six Million Dollar Man, "My daughters called me from school; and said everybody’s running around in slow motion." He also said about the show that is turning into item heaven, "The merchandising was huge, we have those lunch boxes, containers, watches." The last thing that Richard realized that when Majors demanded more money to continue working, "At the end of the fourth year, he really wanted to make some more money, real money, and there was a holdout; and it was perfect for him cause that man was tough!" Barbara’s (Lee’s real-life acting coach/old friend’s) death in 1990, drew the friendship closer between Majors & Anderson. At the time, Anderson felt grief-stricken to lose a Hollywood legend. Today, Majors continues to contact Richard.
After his role as Steve Austin, Majors tried to start a feature-film career. He starred in five movies: The Norseman (1978), Steel (1979), Killer Fish (1979), Agency (1980) and The Last Chase (1981) and Out Cold (2001). None of these films performed well at the box office.
He will soon appear in Spring Break '83, which is currently in production of 2008.
In 1980, Majors came back to television for the fifth time. Producer Glen A. Larson (who previously worked with Majors in The Six Million Dollar Man); asked him to star in the pilot of The Fall Guy. Larson, who heard the actor sing, wanted him to croon the show’s concept to an ABC president. In The Fall Guy, Majors this time played Colt Seavers, whose character was a stuntman and a bounty hunter. The role took his new career in an acting motion. According to producer Larson, he said Majors’ The Six Million Dollar Man was on the stiff side, which showed him in a straight ahead kind of way and what critics hadn’t seen yet, which was the funny side. Majors was also a producer and a director of the show; which co-starred several unfamiliar actors, consisting those of, Douglas Barr, as Colt's cousin and stuntman, Howie Munson, Heather Thomas as Colt's fellow stunt performer, Jody Banks and Markie Post --- who joined the cast in 1982 and left in 1985, playing the role of Terri Shannon-Michaels. They all got along real great with Majors, esp. Thomas, who became another one of his best friends’ off-screen. At the same time, he was also encouraged by stuntmen to pursue acting, the show was impressed by Hollywood. By early 1982, the show was placed #10 in the Nielsen ratings. Lee proved his comeback to be a successful, again, as he sparkled his charismatic sense of humor with his co-stars and staff. He even invited four of his longtime friends, Farrah Fawcett, Linda Evans, Peter Breck and Richard Anderson to guest-star in numerous episodes. By the end of its fifth season in 1986, The Fall Guy, was still in the ratings, but this time, Majors had finally had enough of playing Colt Seavers, which ended its run after 113 episodes.
Thomas said of Majors' role on The Fall Guy which encouraged other actors to do other professional jobs, "It was so natural for him, he was really kind of a blue-collar worker, and I think the stuntman identification was huge with him." The final thing Heather said about Lee’s characteristic in the series of all the others he had starred in earlier before this one was, "Lee has a very dry sense of humor, and he’s very tongue-in-cheek. We saw some guy who done an optomatom in the series before; now, he’s a funny guy with a great sense of humor." Today, he stays in touch with Heather.
After The Fall Guy, he left ABC after 22 years of fruitful association. Between 1987 and 1994, he and Lindsay Wagner starred in three The Six Million Dollar Man/The Bionic Woman movies. Also in 1989, he moved to CBS, and the following year had a recurring role in Tour of Duty, and a regular role in 1992’s, short-lived series, Raven. He also made three TV pilots that have not been shown. He co-starred on Too Much Sun, but it was canceled after only six episodes.
In the middle of 2003, Majors’ acting career was put on hold when he had double surgeries. He had a knee replacement, followed by a single heart bypass surgery, both of which were successful.
Lee has 11 hobbies, consisting those of golfing, hunting, fishing, sailing, swimming, playing football, playing softball, partying, riding horses and spending time with his family. He is also a singer, where he sang the opening theme to The Fall Guy.
Majors has been married four times, but his most famous marriage was to actress Farrah Fawcett, another 1970s pop icon. In 1976 Majors and Fawcett made TV history by being a husband and wife who simultaneously starred in separate top-rated shows (The Six Million Dollar Man (Majors) and Charlie's Angels (Fawcett)). They were married on July 28, 1973, and separated in 1979, but were not formally divorced until February 16, 1982. They broke up because Majors wanted his spouse to be home with him in the evenings, but she often needed to work on her show. The producers of her show made some concessions—for example she was allowed to leave the set to prepare dinner for Majors every evening—but eventually the demands of both their careers proved too onerous and they parted ways. What also hurt the marriage was when Majors had asked his good friend Ryan O'Neal to take care of Fawcett when he left town on business. When he returned, he found that Fawcett and O'Neal had become an item. After several break-ups and reconciliations, O'Neal and Fawcett ended their relationship in early 2008.
Majors has four children from two of his marriages. He has one son, actor Lee Majors II (born circa 1962), from his 1961-1964 marriage to Kathy Robinson, who would go on to appear as an OSI agent in the three The Six Million Dollar Man/The Bionic Woman reunion movies with his father. His 1988-1994 marriage to former Playboy Playmate, Karen Velez produced one daughter, Nikki Majors, and twin sons, Dane Majors and Trey Majors. He is currently married to actress Faith Noelle Cross, whom he wed on November 1, 2002.

Majors continues to play roles in made-for-TV movies, and makes cameo appearances on other shows and TV commercials, occasionally parodying his Steve Austin image.
He stars in a TV car commercial parodying the beginning of The Fall Guy, always refusing the challenges presented in the original.
Majors played Jaret Reddick's disconnected father in Bowling For Soup's video, "When We Die."
The football field at his old high school in Middlesboro, Kentucky, was renamed in his honor.
Majors portrayed the character Grandpa Max in the movie Ben 10: Race Against Time.
In the second season episode of Family Guy, Running Mates, when Lois scolds Peter for making a sexist comment, Peter quickly replies: "I didn't say that; Lee Majors did." The camera then shows Majors standing nearby; he shrugs and says, "What? Women are things."
In The Simpsons episode "Burns' Heir," Marge has a fantasy about Lee Majors in which in a parody of The Six Million Dollar Man, Bart is graduating from Havard in the future, and Lee Majors comes up to Marge asking if she wants to come with him and accepts. He picks her up, and they both take off in the air in the same way as in the film.
Majors also appeared in the two "featurettes" on "The Fall Guy Season One" DVD set. He discusses the show - both as an actor and executive producer - and talks about the show's title song, "The Unknown Stuntman".
On January 1, 2008, Majors appeared in the role of "God" on the season premiere of According to Jim.
Also in 2008, Majors plays a member of the Minutemen (dedicated to preventing illegal border crossings) in Season Four of the hit Showtime dramedy "Weeds," where he recruits Kevin Nealon’s character. << Less Bio

Unlike a static, surface-planing machine or jointer, where timber is passed over the cutters, a power planer enables you to take the tool to the work. This makes it ideal for trimming long boards and the edges of doors and panels, and for reducing stock quickly before final-finishing by hand. You can use it vertically as well as horizontally.
Motors are rated between 650 and 850 w, with cutter block speeds of up to 20,000 rpm. You must press a lock-off button before you can activate the on/off trigger. You adjust cutting by rotating a knob at the front of the tool. This raises or lowers the front part of the alloy base in relation to the cutter-block knives. Maximum cutting depth varies between about 1.5 and 4 mm (1/32 and 1/8 in) in one pass. Planing width is generally 82 mm (3¼ in), although heavy industrial tools capable of planing up to 312 mm (12¼ in) are available. The carbide knives are normally reversible. Fitting a side fence enables you to cut rebates, typically to a depth of 25 mm (1 in) on professional tools.
Some planers have a detachable dust bag or collection box. These fill rapidly, so for extended working it is better to connect a vacuum extractor. Other tools have a chip deflector that you can set to eject from either the left or right side.
Most planers have a hinged shoe at the end of the base, which flips down at the end of a cut. This makes it safer to place the tool down on a surface before the cutters have reached a standstill.
It is possible to fit some planers into an aluminium stand, available as an extra. Mounted upside down the tool becomes a small jointer. You pass timber over the knives just like a surface planer machine, with the fence fixed at 90 degrees or tilted. Mounted the right way up, the tool becomes a small thicknesser. Depth adjustment is possible by raising or lowering the planer. Unlike a thicknessing machine there is no power feed, so you must feed timber through the jig manually. Always use a pushstick to do this.
• It is better to take several shallow cuts rather than make one deep cut.
• Most planers have a hinged shoe at the end of the base, which flips down at the end of a cut. This makes it safer to place the tool down before the cutters have reached a standstill.
Word Discription :
Cutter block A cylindrical steel or aluminium block into which cutting blades are inserted. Knives The removable cutters or blades on a planer or spindle moulder; usually two on a power planer, although some tools have just one spiral. Pushstick A wooden safety device. Prevents fingers getting too close to the moving blade. rpm revolutions per minute
Stock Prepared timber, planed all round and ready to be worked.

Library leaders are considering the donation and decided to host the open house and forum to get feedback and try to answer questions about how the site would be incorporated into what the library does.
The building is about 30,000 square feet. It houses a 282-seat theater, a second, smaller performance space, dance studios and additional rehearsal or office space. It has undergone significant improvements in recent years under the ownership of Richard Nordlof, a local businessman and downtown and arts advocate who wishes to donate the building to the library so it can be used and enjoyed by the public.
"The Board of Trustees believes that the library is a very natural steward for the Sullivan Center as a community resource," Library Executive Director Frank Novak stated in a news release. "Our commitment to excellence in programming, coupled with our numerous arts and culture partners, make RPL a good fit. However, the plan has to be aligned with community needs and financially sustainable as well."
The Rockford Public Library's main building is located about a block away from the Sullivan Center at 215 N. Wyman St. The library has five other branch locations throughout the community.
Some of the entertainment and educational programming that will be showcased at the Sullivan Center during the open house include Paper Airplane, an acoustic/vocals duo; the Aloha Hula Girls Polynesian Performance Group; and a video/lecture presentation by Pablo Korona, creator of Our City, Our Story.


Seattle is a beautiful place to live, work and play but it's not immune to major disasters. On the contrary, our region ranks number one in the country in terms of the number of hazards we face, which includes winter storms, landslides, flooding and earthquakes. The city of Seattle has identified 18 hazards that carry the greatest risk to the city. Out of this group the city considers earthquakes, winter storms, wind storms and terrorism to pose the highest risk due to their likelihood and potential consequences.
Learn about local hazards, how they impact Seattle communities, and how the city plans to respond. This information can be found in the Seattle Hazard Identification and Vulnerability Assessment, also called SHIVA, which identifies the biggest threats to our region, so we know what to plan and prepare for, educate the public about, and mitigate against.
The SHIVA is intended for anyone wishing to better understand how hazards impact the Seattle community. Those wishing for an 'At A Glance' ranking of hazard threat can turn to the Hazard Ranking table on page 25. Others can use it as a reference and summary of current research. We welcome comments and suggestions. Please send them to T.J. McDonald at email@example.com.

the sound of settling
I crashed into the cabin, throwing on my dad's red plaid coat as I headed out into the night to tend to my scene. Between feeding, refilling water containers, and cleaning rabbit cages I found myself tapping my feet. As I moved from the sheep pen to the coop, I kinda swayed to the music, keeping up some jaunty steps with the beat. Soon after in the hen house, I was hitting my hips against the metal cans that hold the grains as I sang along with Ben. Within minutes I was flat-out bopping around, dancing by myself in the chicken coop, smiling like an idiot. I watched my long shadow stretch out into the snow from the glow of the heat lamp and when I realized there was two of us, kept dancing.
Sorry, but I just can't help myself when a band knows how to use a clap track. I was singing to the geese now, who eyed me suspiciously from their nest. When The Sound of Settling came on I got even more pumped. I started singing directly to the poultry. "...And I can't wait to go greeeey.." I laughed this at Cyrus, who incidentally already is grey and apparently isn't a Sub Pop fan. If geese could roll their eyes, Cyrus could've been one of the kids in The Breakfast Club. Since I don't owe my livestock explanations for my musical taste - I just kept my straw-floor dance party going strong. The geese did nothing to stop me. They are all talk. Honestly folks, If I ever did have any pride it died in the walls and rotted somewhere on the crooked road between Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Now, I dance in coops. And I dance with gusto. Ba baaaaa, ba baaaa.
Not that Friday night like these are exactly the envy of my peers. To the untrained eye I am a crazy person, possibly a fear-biter, spinning around a chicken coop singing backup to music no one else can hear. But hell guys, I'm happy. I'm happy to laugh and dance around my animals. I'm happy to come home from a job I like and feel like I was needed at said job. I'm happy to realize a whole weekend is ahead of me with friends, dinners, guitars, books, and fiddling. What more could I dare ask for?
It takes very little to make me content anymore. Maybe that's because of the farm, but I think it has a lot more to do with giving up on a lot of likes and dislikes, and letting go of what I consider good and bad. That's not some flippant comment on lacking morals, not at all. What I mean is I don't take changes in my life as positive or negative anymore. I don't assign them an emotion, I just let them happen. When something comes up I look at it logically, a long look up and down, and then act accordingly. It makes things better. By dropping my own stupid preferences I feel like I'm constantly winning some booby prize for social competence. I win by writing in my own loopholes, allowing myself to accept the things I can't have right now, regardless of how much I want them, and slowly planning a way to find them again later.
A perfect example being the border collie Sarah who had to leave. I couldn't have that part of my life now. That is just how things are. I can be miserable about it, or I can look forward to finding one again. Sometimes being content is a choice, and the only governing body is us. Right now I have this place and it fills me up with feathers, fur, wool and dorian chords. It's what I can have now. It's enough. I just let out a big ol' objective sigh.
Maybe that's the sound of settling?

Introduction: LED Marshmallow Lamp
Hi I am Nishant Chandna . We all know about the the current scenario. All the schools are shut we can't go out.... Instead of just wasting time I thought of making this Instructable. Since it is a speed challenge I thought of making a Marshmallow using some basic materials which are easily available at home. If you don't have the stuff I would recommend you not to go out, make it once the situation is normal..
Making this marshmallow lamp was quite fun and interesting.... watching it is also pretty cool.. I hope that you also make it with these easy steps so that you share the pics with your friends too..
As soon as you make this please comment down below and also add your picture in the ' I made it 'section
I hope you like it...
Step 1: Supplies
- A translucent mug or a container (I have used the body of an old speaker)
2. A black permanent marker
3. Multi coloured Led strip (if you have single coloured that is also fine)
4. 12 v Adaptor
5. Your creative hands and brain 😆😛
Step 2: Draw
Using your permanent marker draw the character you want... I have drawn marshmallow but its your wish to make it as creative as possible...
I have used a black bold marker and I would reccomend using that only because we require it to be bold and appealing. Moreover, draw as good as possible because it will make lamp more unique and beautiful
In the third image you can see how it looks.....
Step 3: Adding LED
Now its a really important but a fun thing to do all you need to do is to put your entire long led strip inside the container. You can do that any way you want.
Try to get a translucent container only this would help in enhancing the lighting effect
Step 4: Cap
Now you need to put the cap on the open end... Since I used an old bluetooth speaker I easily got the cap but you can also attach any cap on bottom you can also make it using card board of foam board.
Then colour the cap according to the colour combination, Since I used black and white colour I coloured it with black colour.
Step 5: Connect
Connect the led strip to the adaptor as shown in the images above...
My led strip is of 12 volt so I used a 12 volt adaptor...
Test it and if it works then your work is done....
Step 6: YOU ARE DONE
Congratulations you are done now share the pics with your friends.. use this lamp in parties and occasions
Participated in the
LED Strip Speed Challenge

The way we know she does this, is because when all four kids wake up the next morning, there's a little bit of sparkle dust, sprinkled right on each face.
Our little girl has grown to love this especially. The boys, well, not so much. Oh, it was cute when they were little, but now, they're not really having it.
You can imagine their dismay then, when she came to visit our eight year old last night. It was late, in her defense.
I think I heard her around one in the morning when she slammed into the window, almost forgetting to stop by.
She had her pocket of fairy dust in hand with her money in the other.
After she carefully felt all over the bed and under the pillow for the baby tooth like a needle in a haystack, I heard her sigh of relief when she found it.
Replacing the tooth with the loot, she then ever so carefully removed the cap of her fairy dust, to sprinkle over our son with a kiss. Flying on to the other rooms, each child was kissed the same.
It was the first time she used this new kind of fairy dust, which seemed to be much finer with smaller sparkles than the old kind. She thought it wouldn't be as obvious, in turn, pleasing the boys.
Little did she know.
In the morning, our eight year old, Preston, woke up with a yelp. "She came! She CAME!" The other three went to his room, then all came out to show us his riches.
Adam and I gasped as the cast of 'Twilight' approached, when four sparkly children, one, minus a tooth and waving a dollar, climbed into our bed.
Covering my mouth, I giggled as Adam whispered, "Whaaaaaaat happened?".
It took awhile to get the sparkle off and I'll probably have to wash their pajamas and sheets, at least three times.
Even though the Tooth Fairy won't come around much longer, I guess her sparkly kisses will have to be reserved for our little girl from now on.
It will be too hard to try to explain to the school why our kids all randomly sparkle, or why the boys have to fight their way through lunches and recess.
The next tooth that's lost will eventually come, though. In our house, it seems like it happens every other day. She'll flutter around the house, probably in the wee morning hours still, but this time, her heart will hurt just a little, knowing her boys are too grown for fairy dust.
No matter how old they'll be, she'll always see them as her babies, and never fail to kiss their cheek...she'll just have a little less sparkle next time. Okay, a lot less sparkle.

Quarter of Students Staying at Home — “Students in Pre-K through second grade returned to Arlington County classrooms Tuesday, a step that Superintendent Francisco Duran says the school system is prepared to take on. Roughly 75% of the student body took the in-person learning option, while 25% will continue to learn virtually. Staff and students who return will complete a daily screening.” [WTOP]
More Commercial Burglaries Reported — Two more local businesses have been victimized among a spate of commercial burglaries. Arlington County police yesterday reported that business on the 5500 block of Columbia Pike and the 4200 block of N. Pershing Drive in Buckingham were broken into. In both cases, thieves stole cash registers and an undisclosed amount of cash. Police did not reveal the businesses involved; there are two on that block of N. Pershing Drive: El Paso Cafe and Popeye’s. [ACPD]

W&OD Trail Work Taking Place — From the Arlington Dept. of Environmental Services: “[This] afternoon: W&OD Trail asphalt repairs in Bluemont Park just south of Wilson Boulevard. Will take about 4 hours. Flaggers on hand to direct users onto nearby Four Mile Run Trail. (Rescheduled from earlier this week.)” [Twitter]
A belated 2020 high school football season is getting underway, but a number of Arlington Public Schools parents are awaiting a plan permitting limited spectators.
Last fall, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam approved a revised schedule for high school sports that allowed winter sports to start in December and rescheduled fall-season sports for February through early May.
Arlington Public Schools football players had their first official practice on Feb. 4 ahead of their first games on Monday, Feb. 22 — yes, high school football on a Monday night — but so far, there is no word on whether people can attend their games.
“Staff are working on these plans now,” APS spokesman Frank Bellavia told ARLnow in an email.
Yorktown football parent Diane Boyle said in an email that she is hoping a plan for spectators will be announced at the upcoming School Board meeting on Thursday, Feb. 18.
“The stands are rarely at capacity even in non-pandemic times,” Boyle said. “I’m certain we can safely have limited spectators, and hopeful APS announces a workable plan soon.”
socially distant, but ready!!! even the neighbors are excited for Warrior Football!! pic.twitter.com/xSLScEmGNP
— Wakefield Football (@WarriorGridiron) February 6, 2021
Boyle is one of nearly 150 parents who have written to APS, urging the school system to allow two masked, socially distanced spectators per player. Northam allowed this ratio for outdoor sports in a December executive order that also stipulates capacity cannot exceed 30% of a venue.
The Yorktown parents pleaded for action to allow spectators for the sake of students. More from their letter:
“Students’ need for this sort of athletic and emotional outlet is far more pressing during Covid than in ordinary times. Our students have already suffered months of deprivation, isolation, loss, and related mental health challenges. For many seniors on the team, this season will be their last opportunity to play organized football. In addition, many need sports to open the door to college admission and scholarships. In short, the players and coaches need — and have earned — the opportunity to play.”
In a similar letter from 70 Wakefield families, parents said APS has “the good fortune” of having football stadiums with ample capacity. They added that other recreational sports and other school systems are permitting spectators.
“Many of us have seen these rules successfully implemented for months with outdoor baseball, soccer, and travel and other sports,” their letter said.

Confusion Over CVS Vaccine Reservations — “The confusion began early Tuesday morning, with people reaching out to ABC7 to express their frustration over the COVID-19 vaccine registration process at CVS pharmacies in Virginia. ‘They didn’t do what they said they were going to do, and it’s just really frustrating,’ said Roxanne Grandis, who’s been trying to make vaccine appointments for her elderly parents.” [WJLA]
Some Kudos For County Vaccination Effort — “Virginia’s been struggling for weeks to administer vaccine doses. Out of the 1.38 million doses the Commonwealth received, officials only injected 1.1 million. That’s roughly 80%. Meanwhile, Arlington County is setting the standard at 97%. How did they do it? With other areas struggling, how did Arlington Public Health succeed on all levels? Local officials say it’s been a team effort.” [The Dogwood]
Chase Young’s Arlington Connection — “Washington Football Team defensive end Chase Young, whose father was in law enforcement, testified before the Maryland House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, expressing support for police reform… Young, named the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year on Saturday, grew up in Prince George’s County, Maryland, but his father spent 22 years as a police officer in Arlington, Virginia.” [ESPN]
Arlington Man Running for Governor — “Another Northern Virginia executive is joining the Republican race for governor. Peter Doran of Arlington said Tuesday he is seeking this year’s GOP gubernatorial nomination. It is his first run for office.” [Associated Press]
Arlington Dems Eye High Rises — “Mid-rise and high-rise living represents a large swath of the Arlington population, and ‘many of them are inaccessible to outside groups,’ said Carol Fontein, who heads the robust precinct-operations efforts of Arlington Democrats. As a result, the party aims to recruit those living in multi-family complexes to help with outreach – within the limits set by owners of the properties.” [InsideNova]
Arlington County is asking residents how and when they use athletic fields.
The County’s Public Spaces Master Plan, adopted in April 2019, calls for a public survey every five years to garner feedback to determine how and when Arlingtonians use the available athletic fields.
The collected data will be used to update the permit process, availability of fields, and who has access when.
“We have a finite amount of park spaces,” Jerry Solomon, Community Engagement Manager for the Department of Parks and Recreation, writes to ARLnow in an email. “Our goal is to ensure we are using them as efficiently and effectively as possible. We need to determine if we are offering field spaces at times that people can best access them.”
Fields for adult soccer leagues, for example, are most needed outside of typical working hours. Baseball diamonds for Little League should be accessible when the players are, like on weekends or after school.
This survey will help make sure this is the case, plus provide additional data that may not be as self-explanatory.
The survey specifically asks about activity start and end times for different age groups as well, like if kids 9 and youngers should end their field use prior sundown on weekdays and who should have access to lighted fields.
In total, Arlington has 96 athletic fields — a mix of rectangular fields (35), diamond fields (42), and a combination of the two (19). That can be further broken down into lighted (37) and not lighted fields (59) as well as natural grass (80) and synthetic turf fields (16).
It probably doesn’t come as a surprise that the fields that have the most use on an individual basis are the lighted, synthetic turf fields. On average, each one of those fields gets more than 2,100 hours of play per year. This is compared to an average of 700 hours per non-lighted, natural grass field.
For years, which fields got lights has been a source of community contention.
Athletic field use in Arlington is often not a free-for-all or on a first-come, first-serve basis. Nearly all of the fields are either only accessible to permit holders or priority is given to permit holders.
Only six of the 96 athletic fields in Arlington are available as drop-in fields, or “community fields.” Even those, though, can be reserved for scheduled programs or practices.
That has drawn the ire of some residents, like those who live near Pentagon City and want to see one or both of the softball diamonds at Virginia Highlands Park opened up for community use.
There’s even a tiered priority system for the allocation of permits, which was first recommended in 2016 due to an “inequity” that existed in how fields were allocated.
Arlington Public Schools are given first priority, then county-organized non-profit youth sport leagues, then adult leagues, then for-profit sports leagues, and, finally, individual rentals or other organizations.
All of this, plus Arlington’s growing population, is resulting in heavy use and demand for athletic fields. According to the PSMP, the county could need an additional 11 rectangular and 2 diamond fields by 2035 to maintain the current levels of use and access.
The hope is that the survey and public feedback will allow for better, more efficient, and more fair use of the limited field space.
This survey will be open until the end of the month, says Solomon, at which point DPR will review and report findings to the Public Spaces Master Plan Implementation Committee in the spring.
There could be more opportunities to provide feedback come the spring and summer, Solomon noted.

McAuliffe Picks Up Local Support — “Four of the seven members of Arlington’s legislative delegation, including all three state senators, have announced their support for Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s bid for governor. McAuliffe ‘has the bold vision and proven track record we need to push Virginia forward,’ said state Sen. Adam Ebbin.” [InsideNova]

(Updated at 10:10 a.m.) There’s a “Bachelorette” contestant from Arlington.
Jason Foster, 31, is a former pro football player who lives in the Courthouse area and works as an Account Manager for a local staffing firm. His official ABC biography says he loves animals, spending time outside, and visiting Arlington’s historical sites.
“Jason prides himself on being able to have fun everywhere he goes,” the network’s bio says. “On the weekends, Jason loves to spend his days visiting historical monuments around Arlington or kayaking on the Potomac River.”
Foster was an NFL lineman after college at the University of Rhode Island, with stints on the Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before wrapping up his pro career with a year in the Canadian Football League, according to his LinkedIn page.
“After suffering too many concussions on the field, [Jason] decided to prioritize his health and change the direction of his life,” the network bio says. “Since leaving the NFL in 2016, he has lost 120 pounds and started a career in IT staffing and solutions.”
One of two contestants from the D.C. area this season, Foster says on the show that he was born on Long Island but moved to Vermont with his family as a young kid.
Foster made an impression on Bachelorette Clare Crawley, 39, by getting out of the limo with a pillow tucked under his dress shirt — a reference to Crawley’s “pregnant” limo exit when she was a contestant on a previous ‘Bachelor’ season. There was, however, an awkward moment when Foster compared Crawley’s looks to his mom’s.
In the end, Foster was one of the lucky guys to get a rose and advance to next week. If he continues to advance he might end up courting a different lady — reports suggest that Crawley exits the show early after falling for one of the contestants, at which point previous ‘Bachelor’ contestant and fan favorite Tayshia Adams is brought on as the new lead.
Foster is not the first Arlingtonian to appear on the long-running reality franchise.
A local high school teacher failed to get a rose from Brad Womack on the first night of the 2011 Bachelor season.
Jillian Anderson, a former TV producer who currently works as a publicist, produced a memorable moment in 2015 when she slipped on a rug when accepting a rose early on, before being eliminated soon thereafter. She also appeared, briefly, on the ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ spinoff show, but found her happy ending last year after getting engaged to a work colleague, Mike King, who goes by the Twitter handle @kingofarlington.
Another Arlington connection to the show: Chris Bukowski, co-owner of the Bracket Room in Clarendon, is a repeat ‘Bachelorette’ and ‘Bachelor in Paradise’ contestant who holds the title of most appearances on the franchise.
Here’s what Foster said last night on Instagram about his five minutes (so far) of reality show fame:
County Board to Consider Bridge Pact — “The Arlington and Alexandria governments are planning to formalize their long-shared responsibilities for maintenance of five bridges that span Four Mile Run between the two communities. The new agreement sets out the share of funding for future short-term and long-term rehabilitation of the five bridges – at West Glebe Road, Arlington Ridge Road, Shirlington Road, Route 1 and Potomac Avenue – as well as maintenance costs.” [InsideNova]
Meal Donation to Hospital — Per a spokeswoman: “At 12:45 p.m., roughly 1,500 meals from local restaurants will be delivered to Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington as part of a 9/11 Day and World Central Kitchen initiative to support first responders and frontline healthcare workers on the 19th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The local restaurants participating in the delivery to Virginia Hospital Center are Arepa Zone, La Ceiba and Bistro Bis.”
Board to Vote on ART Facility Contract — “The Arlington County government is moving forward with planning for reconstruction of its Arlington Transit (ART) operations and maintenance facility, located on Shirlington Road in the Four Mile Run/Green Valley area. County Board members have been asked to approve a contract of roughly $3.9 million for planning, design and construction-administration services for the $81 million project. Stantec Architecture is receiving the contract.” [InsideNova]
Local Bars Welcome NFL Season — “‘We’re delighted to have live sports back,’ said Dave Cahill, general manager of Ireland’s Four Courts in Arlington, Virginia. ‘We’re fortunate here at the Four Courts; we have three different rooms, and we have a large outdoor area. So we have 18 televisions inside and three TVs outside. Having three rooms, it’s going to allow us to spread people out all over the rooms, 6 feet apart and still enjoy the football,’ he said.” [WTOP]
GOP Senate Candidate Addresses Civ Fed — “His longshot candidacy notwithstanding, Daniel Gade received a polite reception from delegates to the Arlington County Civic Federation. ‘I’m the sort of person who will always tell you the truth,’ the Republican U.S. Senate nominee said at the Sept. 8 event. His opponent, incumbent Democrat Mark Warner, was invited but did not attend the forum, convened online due to the public-health pandemic.” [InsideNova]
County Encourages Local Hotel Bookings — “For most of us with out-of-town family and friends, it’s been far too long since we’ve been able to get together. And with safety being everyone’s top priority, you may not be comfortable yet hosting guests in your Arlington house, condo or apartment. With plenty of space, great fall deals and packages, and an array of enhanced health and safety programs, Arlington’s 44 hotels can offer the ‘spare bedroom’ for your visitors this fall.” [Arlington County]
Colton Poythress, a 2018 Wakefield High School graduate and former varsity quarterback, died on last week at the age of 20.
Poythress led the school’s football team to its first district championship in 40 years during his senior season, according to the Wakefield Chieftain student newspaper. He was also a pitcher for the varsity baseball team and helped to end a 20-season losing streak to Marshall High School in 2017.
Poythress wrote for the Chieftain for all four years of high school.
Family and friends reacted to Poythress’ Aug. 12 death on social media.
Cason Poythress, one of Colton’s three siblings and Wakefield’s graduating varsity quarterback, wrote “You’ve been my best friend for my entire life. You take care of everybody up there and I got everyone down here. I miss you more than anything right now but I know I have to stay strong to make you proud.”

Hey Colt, we were supposed to go to school and play football together this week. I’m sorry you didn’t get the chance to get on the field again, but just know every time I step on that field it’s for you. You’ve been my best friend for my entire life. You take care of everybody up there and I got everyone down here . I miss you more than anything right now but I know I have to stay strong to make you proud. You’re in a better place now and I can’t wait to see you again. I love you Colton. ❤

Investigation Reveals ‘Historic’ Shed Built in 1974 — “A homeowner living in the Maywood Historic District of Arlington will be able to tear down a no-longer-considered-historic shed. The 10-foot-by-12-foot wooden structure at the back of a home in the 3600 block of 21st Avenue North long had been considered a ‘contributing’ part of the local historic district, a designation that likely would have prevented its demolition as sought by the current owners. But as it turns out, the shed doesn’t come from Maywood’s historic period, defined as 1906 to 1941.” [InsideNova]
Arlington’s Former ‘Lost Cause’ Textbooks — “A series of textbooks written for the fourth, seventh and 11th grades taught a generation of Virginians our state’s history.

The business-like air with which they marched rapidly through the deep mud of the Third-avenue was the more remarkable.".

Masterclock, in a strategic alliance with Cyber Sciences, promotes a simplified means of deploying the IEEE 1588 defined Precision Time Protocol (PTP) across traditional network infrastructure to achieve improved timing accuracies without the addition of special PTP-aware Ethernet switches. Eliminating this requirement greatly reduces costs and simplifies the system hierarchy while still providing the user with superior timing accuracies relative to traditional Network Time Protocol (NTP).
The PTP protocol was designed to work by using special Ethernet hardware for precise time-stamping of the Ethernet frame send and receive times and includes a very precise mechanism to correct for delays introduced along the network path. By mapping delays and compensating network latencies, accuracies of better than 1 microsecond (1 µs) can be achieved over a specially engineered network.
Many users desire higher accuracies over their Ethernet network but don't need a strict 1 µs timing resolution for their application. Cyber Sciences realized this gap in current PTP deployment and proposed a simple PTP (SPTP) solution using the 1588 Default Profile with the aim of achieving 100 µs over standard Ethernet infrastructure.
The alliance announcement followed a successful interoperability test between Masterclock's GMR5000 GPS-Synced PTP Grandmaster clock and the CyTimeTM SER-3200 Sequence of Events Recorder from Cyber Sciences. The GMR5000 is designed to provide an accurate, legally-traceable time reference across a variety of platforms including PTP and many other formats. The SER-3200 records state changes of 32 high-speed digital inputs, time-stamping events to 1 ms, and is typically installed in 480 volt (ANSI/UL) or 380 volt (IEC) switchgear and switchboards.
The alliance will expand upon the successful interoperability testing to apply the combined expertise of the two organizations to promote more efficient adoption of PTP capabilities across a variety of industries. Masterclock will be adding the SER series of event recorders to their portfolio of timing products with the expectation of further expanding the portfolio through partnerships with other providers of complementary equipment with a desire to provide simpler solutions for their clients.
