(New throughout, adds dateline and byline, changes sourcing)
NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc C.N said a big mortgage unit has temporarily stopped buying new loans after concluding that some property appraisals and documents showing borrowers' incomes were missing.
The halt comes as mortgage companies tighten their standards after years of lax underwriting let many borrowers obtain loans they could not afford or which were too large given the underlying property values.
In a June 22 letter to clients, Citigroup said it would stop accepting correspondent loans, which are made through banks and independent providers, at 6 p.m. on June 23, and would resume acceptance on July 6. “There remain key areas that sometimes fall short of our quality-control process,” according to the letter, signed by CitiMortgage Managing Director Brad Brunts and Senior Vice Presidents Jeffrey Walker and Cindy Manser. “It is vital to our business and our relationship that we collectively work to dramatically improve quality.”
In the correspondent business, CitiMortgage would typically buy mortgages originated by other lenders. It sometimes retains the servicing rights on mortgages it subsequently sells.
As of Dec. 31, the bank had $73 billion of mortgages made in the correspondent channel on its books, or 38 percent of a total $193 billion of mortgages, its annual report shows.
A copy of the June 22 letter was obtained by Reuters. Its contents were confirmed by Citigroup spokesman Mark Rodgers. He said the bank reviews quality control in the correspondent business “on an ongoing basis, and we have identified areas of improvement.”
The letter said Citigroup had identified many shortcomings in mortgage applications, including missing or incomplete appraisal documentation, “insufficient” property valuation methodology, errors in calculating borrower incomes, and missing employment verifications.
In the annual report, Citigroup said mortgage loans made through the correspondent channel had higher delinquency rates than retail mortgages, and that as a result it stopped doing business with “a number” of correspondents in 2007 and 2008.
Citigroup in January moved CitiMortgage into a group of non-core assets, known as Citi Holdings, that it hopes to sell, restructure or wind down.
The bank accepted $45 billion of federal bailout money and is conducting a stock swap that may leave the government with a 34 percent ownership stake.
Citigroup has lost $36 billion in the last six quarters, and analysts on average expect it to lose money over the balance of 2009, according to Reuters Estimates.

The Model 2600 flow switch operates using a two-mode design including setpoint and by-pass versions.
The setpoint is achieved by increasing or decreasing liquid flow at the calibrated setpoint of the flow switch. A magnet-equipped shuttle is displaced at the calibrated setpoint to actuate the hermetically sealed reed switch housed within the removable bonnet assembly. The by-pass mode is designed so that it allows high flow but maintains the low-pressure drop.
Materials of construction are PVC, stainless steel, and ceramic. The unit is designed to facilitate operating temperatures to 140 [degrees] F and pressures up to 150 psig. Connections include in-line, 2-in. slip ports. A variety of adapters - either slip or FNPT - are available to reduce downtime. Standard setpoints are 0.5, 1, and 2 gpm on decreasing flow.

Refreshingly Intelligent, Heartfelt, Sexy, & Giggle Inducing...
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2019
I read so many intensely dark romance books that I am rarely surprised anymore. So, imagine my shock when the sweet, contemporary romance that is "Thunder Thighs" not only surprised the hell out of me, but made me an instant fan of the author, Evie Mitchell!
Mitchell describes this BBW short as being an "over-the-top piece of fluff inspired by big thighs and sexy Vikings..." The description alone made me grin and led me to buy the book. I'm an old fashion Norse girl after all and always enjoy some sexy Viking in my day. However, what Mitchell failed to mention was how charmingly funny this story is in addition to being deliciously sexy.
Oh. My. Goodness. What a wonderful way to end my weekend!
This story is light-hearted, and deeply sentimental. It tugs at your sense of home and gives you the feels in all the right places. Ella and Gunnar are smart, sophisticated, and emotionally complex, a refreshing change from the normally shallow characters so often found in shorts like this. Mitchell gloriously writes Ella as a strong, independent business woman; intelligent and secure in her own skin and place in the world. Gunnar is every bit Ella's equal, co-owner of his family's ship building company; a towering specimen of Norse alpha male, strong, intelligent, and rooted in family. Both looking for their human "home". Gunnar and Ella are perfect for each other, and the God of Thunder and the universe are inclined to agree. Both plotting the course needed for the two of them to cross paths. And what follows is heartfelt, sexy, and giggle inducing.
I could honestly read a dozen books on these two characters alone (**hint, hint Evie Mitchell =D). It would also make my month to see an expanded, full novel length, version of this book. It would make my year to see this book and all the characters within turned into a full-fledged series, with Ella and Gunnar as the catalysts, then moving onto Eric, and so on, and so on, and so on...
THAT'S how much I enjoyed this story!
I am now a huge Evie Mitchell fan! :)

This IS NOT the Russian KGB hiding behind your sofa or coming to get you from the cold war. Instead you will find the "Texas" KGB in your local club playing the music you love. (Maybe watch out for Dawg!)
The Texas K.G.B. (Kelly Green Band) is a quintet of professional musicians that play "Original Americana Music" including Rock, Country, Blues, Alternative and more. Based in Austin, TX, they travel the country playing various venues (clubs, festivals, and private shows).
Kelly Green plays lead and slide guitar and has a clear strong voice you can hear all the way to the coast (doesn't matter, pick one) Jace plays rhythm guitar and his soulful voice is the perfect compliment to Kelly's. B.B. Lee plays bass and sometimes lead guitar. Kody Lee plays the saxophone, adds percussion and back up vocals. Last, but not least, Dawg on drums rounds out The Texas K.G.B.
Here's a few Texas K.G.B. originals recorded live. We plan to produce our first CD soon.

Nighttime Lighting Rehearsal at Henry Ford Museum, Preparing for Light's Golden Jubilee, October 18, 1929. THF96024
Invitation to Light's Golden Jubilee Celebration and Edison Institute Dedication, Dearborn, Michigan, 1929. THF9173
"Light's Golden Jubilee" Reception Badge, 1929. THF294662
On October 21, 1929, Henry Ford hosted an elaborate celebration in Dearborn, Mich., in honor of his friend Thomas A. Edison. Known as Light’s Golden Jubilee, the date marked the 50th anniversary of Edison’s invention of the electric light. Ford also planned his event as a dedication of his own lasting tribute to Thomas Edison and to American innovation, the Edison Institute of Technology (now known as Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation) and Greenfield Village. Here, Henry Ford had moved the Menlo Park, New Jersey, laboratory where the inventor made his discovery so many years before.
The RSVPs for Light's Golden Jubilee began pouring in to Ford Motor Company by early October 1929. Prominent businessmen like John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and J.P. Morgan, scientist Marie Curie, inventor Orville Wright, and humorist Will Rogers were among those who enthusiastically accepted Ford’s invitation to be part of the landmark event.
At 10 am that morning, President Herbert Hoover, Henry Ford and Thomas Edison arrived at Smiths Creek depot at Greenfield Village in a railroad car pulled by an 1858 steam-powered locomotive, reminiscent of Edison’s youth when he sold newspapers on Michigan’s Grand Trunk railroad line. Edison, Ford, and Hoover and their wives were met by invited guests that numbered more than 500. The crowd roared their approval and congratulations as Edison stepped from the train to begin the day’s festivities.
Ford, Hoover and Edison arrive at the Smiths Creek, Michigan depot where a young Edison had been thrown off the train 67 years earlier when he accidentally started a fire in a baggage car. The station was one of several Edison-related buildings that Henry Ford moved to Greenfield Village. THF294682
This painting of the Light’s Golden Jubilee banquet was begun in 1938 at the request of Henry Ford. Completed by artist Irving Bacon seven years later, the 17 x 7-foot painting hangs in the museum. THF119552

After the guests had been properly greeted and the throngs of media had gotten their quotes and photographs, Henry Ford gave Hoover a personal tour of the massive Ford Motor Company Rouge industrial complex, five miles away. Eighty-two-year-old Edison retired to Ford’s nearby Fair Lane estate to rest while the hundreds of guests gathered at the Clinton Inn (now known as Eagle Tavern) to enjoy lunch followed by afternoon horse-and-carriage tours of Greenfield Village.
The morning of the celebration brought forth rain. Twenty-eight historic buildings had been assembled in Greenfield Village from around the United States. The muddy grounds made sightseeing around the outdoor museum challenging, but they didn’t dampen enthusiasm. To combat the rain and mud, Ford supplied enclosed horse-drawn carriages to transport guests on tours of Greenfield Village. THF124662
That evening, guests gathered at the museum—the front galleries of which had been hurriedly completed just in time for the celebration. Fine crystal chandeliers, fitted with candles, cast a soft glow about the rooms. NBC Radio broadcaster Graham McNamee set the mood for the evening in a coast-to-coast live broadcast:
"Imagine the checkered effect of black and white evening dress, the brilliant splashes of color provided by the uniforms of military attaches and the great stylists of Paris and Fifth Avenue ...I have attended many celebrations, but I cannot recall even attempting to describe one staged in a more perfect setting."
After a sumptuous banquet, Edison, Ford, and Hoover went to the reconstructed Menlo Lab in Greenfield Village to re-create the lighting of the first electric lamp. There, Edison and Francis Jehl, his former assistant, both went to work—much like they had half a century earlier, preparing to forever change the world. As they worked, McNamee narrated to a hushed world: "Mr. Edison has two wires in his hand; now he is reaching up to the old lamp; now he is making the connection.… It lights! Light's Golden Jubilee has come to a triumphant climax."
As the connection was made in the Menlo Lab, the museum building was bathed in light and the museum’s replica of the Liberty Bell pealed for the first time. Overhead a plane flew by with the word “Edison” and the dates “79” and “29” illuminated under the wings. Car horns sounded, lights flashed on and off, and the world bathed itself in an electric light tribute to Edison.
Worldwide publicity of the Light’s Golden Jubilee event encouraged Americans from coast to coast—and people around the world—to participate in the celebration. People huddled around their radios, plunged into near darkness, using only candles or gas lamps for light, waiting for Edison's successful re-creation as a cue to turn on their lights as part of the celebration. Small towns and large cities put on elaborate light displays.
After the reenactment, Ford, Hoover, Edison and Jehl returned to the museum to hear accolades from President Hoover, a radio address by Albert Einstein broadcast from Germany, and Edison’s heartfelt remarks. Henry Ford, not wishing to steal the spotlight from his friend, did not speak or allow photographs at the evening ceremony.
This event was just the beginning—Ford’s tribute to Edison and to American innovation and inventiveness was a lasting one. The artifacts and buildings Ford gathered for his indoor and outdoor museums, now known collectively as The Henry Ford, have told stories of American innovation, ingenuity, and resourcefulness for 90 years. They will continue to inspire countless generations to come.

Going Hollywood: Movie Fan Magazines
Movie fan magazines were filled with stories and photos of the movie stars, informed readers about the new films being introduced, answered questions about how movies were made, provided synopses of current melodramas, offered recipes of the stars, featured the latest Hollywood fashion styles, provided tips on scenario writing, and offered contests with prizes like trips to Hollywood, and tours of the movie studios.
In 1912, Photoplay was introduced and by the early 1920s, more than a dozen such magazines crowded the newsstands with names like Cinema Art, Film Fun, Motion Picture Journal, Movie Weekly, Picture Play, and Screenland. The cover art captured the glamour of the times and featured beautifully detailed renderings of the popular stars of the day. The illustrators were some of the best in their field. By the late 1930s however the illustrated cover art was replaced by photographs which were cheaper to produce.
Most of the movie magazines relied on the movie studios for information and access to stars. The stories that appeared were carefully controlled by the studio's public relations staff. It was a strange marriage between the studios, who needed the support of the magazines, and the magazines, whose existence depended on the success and good will of the industry. The tendency was to create articles that reflected the movies as a hard working business and the stars as professionals. The magazines were filled with stories about actors like tough guy Edward G. Robinson and lover Rudolph Valentino, actresses like Ginger Rogers and Katherine Hepburn, as well as articles about social and moral issues created by the movies.
In 1924 Photoplay promoted itself as the young generation's favorite periodical. By the later 1920s, that demographic had shifted further to focus heavily on women. Soon stars were making forays into the world of commercial advertising. Movie star endorsements of commercial products, considered taboo in the teens and 1920s became an accepted way of selling both stars and products by 1935. The emphasis, in most cases, was on beauty and hygiene products, and cigarettes.

Morgan Gies: Driver to the Presidents
One of the great pleasures of being archivist at The Henry Ford is the continuing ability to receive interesting collections and to meet the donors. One such person was Edward Gies, who called to ask if we would be interested in some photographs of presidential vehicles. Since we have a number of presidential vehicles in our collection, but not a large amount of support material, I said I certainly was. He said he and his wife were planning a trip to the museum and he would bring the material along. When Mr. Gies arrived, he brought a small but very rich collection not only of photographs but also of ceremonial flags that had flown on a number of our vehicles.
What made the experience even more exciting was to discover that the collection had been gathered by Mr. Gies’ father, Morgan Gies. Morgan Gies was a member of the United States Secret Service and the man in charge of the White House vehicles. He held that position for 27 years, serving five presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Lyndon Johnson. In addition to overseeing the White House fleet, he was often the driver of the presidential vehicle or the backup car.Continue Reading

A father’s death leaves a daughter seeking answers and a return to normal life in this impressive debut novel.
It’s mid-July 1943, amid a drought in Boaz, Wisconsin, when 15-year-old Cielle Jacobson finds her father hanging from a beam in their barn. Her mother and a neighbor cover up the suicide as an accident, adding to the questions shadowing Cielle, whose closeness to her father is revealed in brief, tender flashbacks. As the narrative moves through several weeks and vignettes, Kenny (Love Is No Small Thing: Stories, 2017) anchors her third-person narrative to Cielle’s point of view. She is a gifted violinist, a loving sister, and a thoughtful teen who ponders her place in a small town and in the universe and feels her childhood “leaving little by little every day.” The author offers little drama: a tornado that razes the barn; a horse-riding accident; a suicide note left unread for many pages; a subplot involving a wily Cielle and the suicide’s effect on the legal disposition of the Jacobsons’ land. Even the war is mostly an aside—Mrs. Jacobson alludes to “rationed butter and sugar”—until Cielle’s sister learns that her boyfriend has joined up and a neighbor’s injured son comes home in a wheelchair. But from the life-altering suicide to her first kiss, everything bears some significance for Cielle’s progress toward adulthood. She calls to mind Frankie of Carson McCullers’ The Member of the Wedding, who begins to think about the world during “a long queer season” one spring. And like Bunny in the double-edged opening of William Maxwell’s They Came Like Swallows, Cielle doesn’t “waken all at once.” Still, she begins to blossom despite the drought.
Kenny’s thoughtful, finely crafted work is an eloquent reminder that the breadth of a world matters less than the depth of a character.

|078 – Genesis of the Daleks|
|Doctor Who serial|
|Directed by||David Maloney|
|Written by||Terry Nation|
|Script editor||Robert Holmes|
|Produced by||Philip Hinchcliffe|
|Music by||Dudley Simpson|
|Running time||6 episodes, 25 minutes each|
|First broadcast||8 March 1975|
|Last broadcast||12 April 1975|
Genesis of the Daleks is the fourth serial of the twelfth season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. It was written by Terry Nation and directed by David Maloney, and originally broadcast in six weekly parts from 8 March to 12 April 1975 on BBC1.
In the serial, the alien time traveller the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) and his travelling companions Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen) and Harry Sullivan (Ian Marter) are directed by the Time Lords to the planet Skaro at the time of the Daleks' creation to prevent them from becoming the dominant race in the universe.
Genesis of the Daleks was originally commissioned under producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks, who felt that the outline submitted by Nation was too similar to his previous Dalek adventures, and encouraged him to explore the origin of the Daleks. The story introduces the Daleks' creator Davros (Michael Wisher), who had a unique visual design. The script was handed to Letts and Dicks' successors, producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, who made changes to the original script which gave it a darker tone. Nation, having intentionally modelled the Daleks on the Nazis, further explored the theme in Genesis. It also addresses the moral issues that come with time travel and genocide. The story was filmed over January and February 1975, with some location filming in a quarry in Betchworth.
Genesis of the Daleks premiered with 10.7 million viewers and concluded five weeks later with 9.1 million, with the least-watched episode being Part Three with 8.5 million viewers. Since its broadcast it has been widely praised as one of the series' best. The story was novelised in 1976 by Dicks, and released as a condensed LP in 1979, before being released on VHS in 1991 and DVD in 2006.
The Fourth Doctor and his companions Sarah Jane Smith and Harry Sullivan are intercepted by the Time Lords. The Doctor is instructed to interfere with the creation of the Daleks so as to avert a future in which the Daleks rule the universe; he is given a Time Ring to return them to his TARDIS when the mission is complete. The three find themselves on the Dalek planet of Skaro. A generations-long war between the Thals and the Kaleds has left the planet inhospitable, and the two sides have congregated in their own domes for protection and continue the war.
A chemical weapon attack forces them to take shelter. Sarah is separated but meets the Mutos, mutated exiles of both sides, who try to help protect her before they are all captured by the Thals and forced to load radioactive material on a missile. The Doctor and Harry are captured by the Kaleds, their possessions confiscated, and are taken to a bunker to meet the scientific and military elite, including the lead scientist Davros, who unveils the "Mark III travel machine", or "Dalek", which the Doctor recognises as his nemesis. Ronson, one of Davros' scientists, secretly tells the Doctor that he knows Davros' experiments are unethical, and the Doctor is able to convince the Kaled leadership to put a halt to Davros' experiments. Davros learns of Ronson's actions, and covertly provides the Thal leaders a chemical formula that can weaken the Kaled dome and make it vulnerable to their missile attack, while preparing twenty more Daleks.
The Doctor and Harry make their way to the Thal dome and rescue Sarah. However, the Doctor is captured by the Thals as the missile strikes the Kaled dome, wiping out all but those in the bunker. Davros accuses Ronson of giving the Thals the chemical formula and then orders the Daleks to kill him, and convinces the remaining leaders to let him have his Daleks attack the Thal dome. The Dalek attack kills many of the Thals, and the Doctor, his companions, and the surviving Thals and Mutos make their way to the Kaled bunker. The Doctor instructs the Thals and Mutos to find a way to destroy the bunker while he and his companions go inside to recover the Time Ring. While there, the Doctor is captured by Davros, who discovers the Doctor knows of the future of the Daleks, and forces the Doctor to record all he knows, so that Davros can program the Daleks to avoid failure in the future.
Other scientists working for Davros, now aware of his plans, free the Doctor and give him enough time to rig the Dalek incubation room with explosives which would end the threat of the Daleks. As he is about to touch the two exposed wire ends to set them off, he hesitates, questioning whether he has the right to make that decision. He is relieved to learn that Davros has agreed to stop and allow the Kaled leaders to vote on the continuation of the project. As the leaders gather for this vote, the Doctor is able to recover the Time Ring and destroy the recordings he made, while learning that the Thals and Mutos have prepared the means to destroy the bunker. As the vote is called, Davros reveals this was all a decoy, giving the Daleks he sent to destroy the Thals time to return to the bunker and exterminate the remaining Kaleds. Harry and Sarah escape the chaos, while the Doctor returns to set off the incubator room's explosives, but a Dalek inadvertently completes the circuit and sets it off itself. The Doctor escapes before the Thal and Mutos' bomb caves in the bunker, trapping Davros and the Daleks. Inside, Davros realises the Daleks have gained a will of their own when they refuse to take orders from a non-Dalek. He attempts to stop the production line but is seemingly exterminated by his own creations.
The Doctor suspects that he has managed to set back Dalek evolution by several centuries, and considers his mission complete. He and his companions say goodbye to the surviving Thals and Mutos before using the Time Ring to return to the TARDIS.
When planning stories for season 12, producer Barry Letts and script editor Terrance Dicks felt that it was time for Terry Nation to return to the series and write another Dalek adventure. Letts and Dicks enjoyed the script Nation sent in, but found it too "reminiscent" of many of his previous Dalek stories. The two suggested that Nation instead write an origin story for the Daleks, originally titled Daleks – Genesis of Terror. The serial was commissioned on 1 April 1974, and the scripts accepted on 22 July. The stories lined up for the season were handed over to Letts and Dicks' successors, producer Philip Hinchcliffe and script editor Robert Holmes, with whom Genesis of the Daleks gained a darker tone. Holmes was not a fan of frequent appearances by the Daleks, and only allowed the story because it explored their origins. In an aim to make the series more adult, Hinchcliffe wanted the story to be "pacy" and make the Daleks appear more powerful. In a 2006 interview, Dicks said that he does not believe the story would have been much different if he and Letts had been in charge, though he remarked he would have added some lighter moments to soften the "grim" tone. Director David Maloney stated that the images of war at the beginning of the serial were intended to create atmosphere, and he had no intention of losing the younger audience.
The production of Genesis of the Daleks saw several changes from the script. Maloney altered the opening scene to show the soldiers gunned down by machine guns in slow motion. Nation was displeased with the change, and Maloney later felt that the violent addition was "a bit much". Hinchcliffe and Maloney were not keen on the Doctor's original meeting with the Time Lord, which took place in a lush garden, and changed it to the Skaro war-zone which they felt more appropriate. The Thal soldiers were originally supposed to be boys aged 15 or 16 to illustrate the youth of those fighting in the war, but this was later changed to make them appear more mature. In the Genesis of Terror script, Sarah Jane becomes ill in the third episode from radiation poisoning, and Bettan was a male who was introduced in the fourth episode. Part Five originally had more action in the Dalek incubator room and ended with the Doctor's question of whether he had the right to destroy them.
The talent on Genesis was extraordinary. David Spode's sets were incredible, Sylvia and Barbara achieved wonders with makeup and costume, and then there were the actors [...] – all excellent. But the star of the show, I have to say, was Michael Wisher.
Maloney cast John Franklyn-Robbins as the Time Lord because he had worked with him before and intended his character to resemble Death in The Seventh Seal. Hilary Minster, who played a Thal soldier, had also played a Thal in Planet of the Daleks (1973). Minster had been considered for the role of Mogran. Peter Miles previously played Dr. Lawrence in Doctor Who and the Silurians (1970) and Professor Whitaker in Invasion of the Dinosaurs (1974). Stephen Yardley, who played the Muto Sevrin, later appeared in Vengeance on Varos (1985). During filming of Genesis, Yardley walked into the casting department on his lunch break in costume and asked for a job; because of his costume, they assumed he was a tramp from the street. Dennis Chinnery, who played Gharman, had previously been seen in The Chase (1965) and would later appear in The Twin Dilemma (1984).
The character of Davros was designed by Nation to have created the Daleks in his image, and to also be a "spokesperson" for the Daleks as he felt it was "boring" listening to Daleks giving speeches. The design was inspired by the Mekon, a comic book character with a small body and a large "green, dome-like head" which Hinchcliffe remembered from his childhood. Davros attracted the attention of BBC prosthetics designer John Friedlander who agreed to come off another show to make Davros' mask. The latex mask was moulded to Michael Wisher's face by make-up artist Sylvia James. Wisher could even eat while wearing the mask. Regular latex instead of the more mouldable foam latex was used because the latter was too expensive. The cast and crew regarded Davros' effects as a great technical achievement considering the budget and time period they worked in. Two children visiting Baker at the BBC studios were scared by Wisher in costume; they thought he was a statue at first. When sitting in Davros' Dalek-like base, Wisher wore knee pads and a kilt because trousers were too uncomfortable. To prepare during rehearsals, Wisher acted in a wheelchair with a paper bag over his head that only had slits cut out for his eyes so he would be used to the "disorienting" situation and be able to express himself without using his whole face. Wisher, a heavy smoker, put two holes in the top of the bag so he could smoke underneath it in rehearsals. Wisher also provided some of the voices for the Daleks with Roy Skelton; in some scenes, he was acting to his own pre-recorded dialogue. Stuntman and actor Terry Walsh appeared uncredited in several roles.
Genesis of the Daleks was the last serial of the twelfth season to be filmed, after Revenge of the Cybermen. As Sarah Jane had been filmed in Revenge wearing a combat costume, it was added into Genesis that the Doctor would hand her the outfit, into which she changes by the next scene. The story was mainly filmed in January 1975, with some studio recording carried into February. Location filming for the serial took place at Betchworth quarry in Surrey, which represented the landscape of Skaro. Having had trouble with the Daleks on location in Planet of the Daleks (1973), Maloney scheduled shooting so that they only appeared in studio scenes. The three active Dalek props used in the serial were originals from the 1960s, and their wear was covered by new paint. Five "dummy" Daleks which could not be operated were also used. Hinchcliffe wanted the Daleks to appear more powerful, and intended to achieve this through low angles and lighting. Duncan Brown, who was responsible for studio lighting, used colours and dark lighting to make the Daleks seem as if they were "emerging from the shadows" and to suggest rather than show the world created to viewers.
The same model was used for both the Kaled and the Thal domes. The gas attack in Part One was achieved through dry ice and green lighting. Some of the Thal guns were re-used props from the First Doctor (William Hartnell) serial Galaxy 4 (1965). The electric trolley used by the Kaleds in Part One worked in tests, but collapsed when Baker and Marter boarded it. The creature Harry and the Doctor glimpse at the end of Part Two was mainly a reused Ice Warrior costume, while the Thal rocket ship was a reused model from The Ambassadors of Death (1970). During the filming of Part Two, Miles and Chinnery had trouble fitting the gun on the Dalek. As a result, the scene had to be filmed in two takes, bridged with a reaction shot of the Doctor. Part Two is unusual in that it is one of the very few episodes not to begin with a reprise, and also the first to end in a freeze frame. A stunt double for Elisabeth Sladen was hired for Sarah's fall from the scaffolding, but Maloney discovered that she would be falling eight feet, while Sladen had fallen ten feet in rehearsals. Maloney ultimately decided to conclude the episode with a freeze frame ending. Maloney would use the freeze frame technique again, most notably with The Deadly Assassin. The third episode overran its 25-minute limit and rather than cut material out the cliffhanger was changed from Davros' speech to the Doctor being electrocuted. The music for the serial was recorded on 3 March 1975 and the dubbing finished the day before Part One aired.
Nation, who grew up during World War II, intentionally based the Daleks on the Nazis, and this episode contains many deliberate parallels. The Kaleds dress in uniforms reminiscent of the Nazis and display "fascist salutes". The Kaleds look to "keep [their] race pure" by banishing the Thals and Mutos. Cast and crew members described it as a "warning to the world" about the danger of allowing authoritarianism to take over. Davros has been likened to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler several times, while physical comparisons have also been drawn between the appearance of Nyder and SS chief Heinrich Himmler; aside from the resemblance, both wear insignias and spectacles. As production of the third episode began, the producers decided to downplay some of the Nazi symbolism, and took away Nyder's Iron Cross. It briefly reappears in a later scene that was filmed in the first recording block
Ed Webb and Mark Wardecker, in a paper in Doctor Who and Philosophy, interpreted the Dalek history shown in Genesis of the Daleks as a warning that "scientists will be the one to bring about the ultimate destruction, the ultimate evil, and deliberately so". They also commented that the serial showed that the Daleks were evil by design, rather than evolution. Davros represents a mad scientist who creates a monster that then consumes him. Sarah Honeychurch and Niall Burr, in the same book, wrote that the corruption of the Daleks showed that creatures should not be created with "such limited moral reasoning," and that in our world we cannot "impose our own personal human standards on everybody else".
Genesis of the Daleks also displays a battle between good and evil. Letts enjoyed the fact that the story did not have clear heroes and villains, but rather a conflict of principle. The discussion between the Doctor and Davros about the hypothetical viral weapon demonstrates this. Hinchcliffe described it as the "hero meets antihero" moment, with the two engaged in "intellectual grappling". The episode also presents the "moral dilemma" of whether the Doctor should destroy the Daleks, resulting in the famous "Have I the right?" scene. The Doctor's comparison to knowingly killing a child who would grow up to be a dictator shows how the Doctor's ethics are influenced by his non-linear experience of time. He considers the good things that may come out of the Daleks, such as that "many future worlds would become allies". The Doctor's conclusion that he does not have the right is an example of utilitarian reasoning, and a "duty-based ethical" position. Sladen recalled that Baker took the scene very seriously, almost "agonising" over the dialogue.
Comparisons to other stories have been drawn. The Time Lord who appears at the story's beginning is intentionally costumed to resemble Death in Ingmar Bergman's film The Seventh Seal. Gareth Roberts has compared this character to the ghost of Hamlet's father, setting the protagonist (the Doctor) on a violent mission with which he has moral qualms. Martin Wiggins, senior lecturer and fellow at the Shakespeare Institute at Stratford-upon-Avon, suggests that the Doctor's indecision about destroying the Dalek embryos in the "have I the right?" scene is derived from The Brothers Karamazov.

Genesis of the Daleks was first broadcast in six weekly parts from 8 March to 12 April 1975. Viewership varied from 8 to 10 million; Parts One and Two were watched by audiences of 10.7 and 10.5 million, Parts Three and Four were watched by audiences of 8.5 and 8.8 million, and Parts Five and Six were watched by audiences of 9.8 and 9.1 million. Audience Appreciation Indexes were taken for the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth episodes, scoring 57, 58, 57, and 56 respectively.
At the time of broadcast, there were some complaints about the level of violence portrayed. Mary Whitehouse, of the National Viewers' and Listeners' Association, complained that Genesis contained "tea-time brutality for tots". Scenes objected to included the depictions of war and Nyder hitting the Doctor. However, David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker, in their Doctor Who: The Television Companion (1998), recorded a positive reaction from fans in regards to creativity and Davros, though one writer noted the ending did not satisfyingly close the story. The BBC's Audience Research Report concluded, "A little more complex than some Doctor Who adventures, perhaps, and with underlying questions of conscience, the serial had been 'different' it was occasionally felt and, although dismissed in some quarters as far-fetched, long drawn-out, confused and/or predictable, had provided acceptable escapist entertainment for the majority." Howe and Walker themselves described the serial as "well-written and full of new ideas, while still remaining true to the Daleks' roots by effectively equating them with the Nazis", and particularly praised the production values, pacing, and moral dilemma. However, they considered it to have a few minor flaws, namely Harry being attacked by a giant clam, some "duff" cliffhangers, and "many of the scientist characters serve no other purpose than to act as Dalek-fodder".
In 2010, Mark Braxton of Radio Times awarded the serial a full five stars and hailed it as "Terry Nation's finest hour for the series", suggesting that Davros was "the greatest villain in Doctor Who history". He was also positive towards Dudley Simpson's score and Davros's allies, who were "impeccably written and played" from Nyder to Gharman. However, he was disappointed that Harry did not have much to do. The A.V. Club reviewer Christopher Bahn noted that it contradicted some aspects of The Daleks but that it "[hit] the emotional target dead-on". He particularly praised Davros and Skaro. However, Bahn felt the "major problem" with the portrayal of the Daleks was that "we're not given any choice but to view them as psychopathic murderers", and the Doctor came across as a "catastrophically incompetent secret agent". DVD Talk's Stuart Galbraith gave Genesis of the Daleks four out of five stars, calling it a "real fan-pleaser" and writing that Wisher was "superb" as Davros. While noting that the story "is mostly concerned with action and suspense, which it does rather well", he felt it "isn't especially original" as it dealt with common time-travel issues, despite doing it in "intelligent ways". In 2009, SFX listed the scene where the Daleks receive their first blaster as the thirteenth scariest moment of Doctor Who. The magazine also named the scene where Harry is attacked by a giant clam as one of the silliest Doctor Who moments, noting "even the best Doctor Who stories have the occasional dropped stitch". Charlie Jane Anders of io9, in a 2010 article, listed the cliffhanger of Episode Four – in which the Doctor is forced to tell Davros how the Daleks will be defeated in the future – as one of the greatest Doctor Who cliffhangers.
Writing for BFI Screenonline, James Donohue thought Genesis of the Daleks "shows the series developing a more complex appreciation of the moral issues surrounding being a monster", but "the plot contrives to prevent the Doctor from having to make the difficult decision himself anyway. He delays Davros' plans, but he does not change the future. Lacking the courage to answer the questions it raises, Genesis shows how challenging, and how infuriating, children's TV can be."
Genesis of the Daleks was one of the most widely known serials of the original run as it was repeated often. It was edited into an 85-minute omnibus version and broadcast on BBC1 at 3:00 pm on 27 December 1975, attracting 7.6 million viewers, and also was repeated in two edited 45-minute episodes as part of the "Doctor Who and the Monsters" on 26 July and 2 August 1982, which attracted audiences of 4.9 and 5 million. It was then repeated in its original serial form on BBC Two in 1993 (averaging 2.2 million viewers) and 2000 (averaging 1 to 1.5 million). In a 1998 poll of readers of Doctor Who Magazine, over 2500 voters placed Genesis at the top of a poll to find the greatest Doctor Who stories of all time. In the magazine's 2009 "Mighty 200" poll, asking readers to rank all of the then-made 200 stories, Genesis came in third place, behind The Caves of Androzani (1984) and "Blink" (2007). In a 2014 poll, the magazine's readers again placed the episode in third place. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph named Genesis of the Daleks one of the ten greatest episodes of Doctor Who.
Genesis of the Daleks is the first example in the history of Doctor Who of "outright revisionism"; the creation story of the Daleks is very different from that established in The Daleks (1963), where it was said they evolved from creatures known as Dals, who were once similar to the Thals. Here, the Dals from the original story are changed to Kaleds. The Official Doctor Who and the Daleks Book, co-authored by Terry Nation, suggested that The Daleks took place during the Daleks' 1000-year hibernation following Genesis of the Daleks, and that the Daleks seen in that story were the descendants of Kaled mutants who had sought refuge in the destroyed Kaled city and discovered Davros' prototypes and notes. Russell T Davies, who revived Doctor Who in 2005, suggested that the origins of the Time War, a conflict between the Time Lords and the Daleks which contributed to the storyline of the new series, began with the Time Lords' attempted genocide of the Daleks in Genesis.
Davros is resurrected in Destiny of the Daleks (1979), played by David Gooderson, and appears in the remaining three Dalek stories of the classic series played by Terry Molloy. He has also appeared in the revived series since "The Stolen Earth"/"Journey's End" (2008), played by Julian Bleach. In The Magician's Apprentice (2015), footage from the episode is used with its plot based on the Fourth Doctor's moral issue if one has the right to kill a child if they knew "that child would grow up totally evil." Davros' early life is additionally covered in the 2006 Big Finish four-part audio series I, Davros, which sees Miles reprising his role as Nyder in the fourth episode, Guilt.

Town grievance board to hear fired police officer’s appeal
The town’s Grievance Resolution Board is set to hear an appeal Thursday from a police officer fired for allegedly spiking the number traffic tickets he wrote in retaliation for pension cuts.
Officer William Eaton was fired June 5 following an internal investigation that concluded that he wrote an inordinate number of tickets during the month following a Jan. 18 Town Council decision to enact deep cuts to police officers’ retirement benefits.
Elizabeth Parker, the attorney attempting to win Eaton’s job back, wrote in a memo to the town that every offense written by Eaton was a violation of law, and that he was simply fulfilling his duty as an officer.
Eaton wrote 115 citations from Jan. 19 through Feb. 18, compared to 16 citations during the same period in 2011, according to town records. He wrote no tickets on the date of the council meeting, but wrote 14 the next day.
The investigation also found that Eaton, using police radio, encouraged other officers to step up the number of tickets they wrote following the Jan. 18 pension decision.
The hearing begins at 9 a.m. in Town Hall.

I just made hotel reservations for my daughter’s college graduation and realized as I was reviewing the hotel’s website that I had actually been to this hotel before…approximately 10 years ago with the same daughter for a very different experience—a ballroom dancing competition.
You see, I took ballroom dancing lessons for approximately five years, and my younger daughter took a break from the standard ballet-jazz-tap world to dance ballroom with me for two of those years.
Making these hotel reservations reminded me of some special moments and powerful lessons learned from my time in the ballroom. I thought I would share…
Having grown up watching Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers movies, I thought there was nothing more romantic or beautiful than ballroom dancing. I loved the swing era music. The dancers were so smooth, the dresses gorgeous, and those men in tuxedos looked so elegant.
Years later, when my kids reached school age, I decided to take up ballroom dancing. I never thought I would become Ginger Rogers. I just needed a little time for me beyond work and mommy-land. Since I didn’t want to take time away from the girls, I would put them to bed and then go out to my lesson at 9 pm. Late night, but so worth it!
It was my vacation. When I was twirling around to beautiful music, being led by a professional dancer, the challenges of the day would vanish and I became immersed in the land of “smooth,” romantic dances—waltzes, lively quicksteps and sassy fox-trots—all performed in traditional ballroom hold to songs that I loved.
Most people actually prefer the rhythm dances like cha-cha, salsa and samba. They’re fun, lively and very sexy. I had three problems with those—I was uncomfortable being sexy with someone other than my husband, my hips just didn’t work the way Latin dances required, and while the music was fun, I found it irritating to listen to at that time of night. So it was lovely waltzes and fox-trots for me, with dance steps and music that helped me float away.
Even though this was my idea and I loved dance, I was actually out of my comfort zone in the ballroom, making the fatal mistake of dancing in my head, rather than just letting go and dancing from my heart. Fortunately, all of my teachers (I had several) were patient and supportive and made me feel beautiful, no matter how many times I stepped on their toes or had hands that looked like claws. Dancing became not only the memorization of steps and proper body positioning but also a spiritual journey in letting down my guard, feeling the music and allowing my artistic soul to be seen. It was a rare moment of vulnerability—not an easy feat for someone who prided herself on being strong and logical.
Several times a year, Fred Astaire Dance Studios, where I took lessons, had regional competitions. While I was not dancing for the sake of competition, I let my instructors convince me that this was part of the dance experience. And it truly was. Every man and woman who competed in that ballroom looked and felt beautiful, no matter what age or size. The competitions were like something out of a movie. If you have seen Shall We Dance with Richard Gere or Strictly Ballroom, then you will have seen the sparkles, glitter, glamour and over-the-top dresses, makeup and hair. Like the movies, ours was a surreal and spectacular experience. Fred and Ginger were alive and well.
Which leads me back to the hotel with my daughter. Like everyone there, we were all glammed up and ready to dance. It was like the entire hotel was a stage show and we were all cast members walking around “backstage.” The weekend was a swirl of one-and-a-half-minute dances, running for approximately eight hours straight each day. Each “heat” was a different competition based on dance style and level of expertise. And each dancer was given a sheet with his/her schedule of dances. Most people danced a minimum of 10 to 15 dances, though I have heard of people dancing more than 100 dances in the course of a weekend competition. Jackie, who was about 10 years old at the time, was amazingly grown up in her sparkles as she tracked both of our heats, making sure that we were ready and lined up, with lipstick on, at the proper time. This was a leap in her independence, a “little kid” surrounded by all these big people. Seeing her out on the floor in the midst of this mayhem, composed and confident, managing the chaos of the schedule and dancing beautifully was particularly emotional for me as a mom. Watching her easy confidence on the floor encouraged me to relax and simply enjoy the dance.
I hadn’t thought about those competitions for a very long time. But when I realized that more than a decade later, I would return to the same hotel with the same daughter, who has become a graceful and amazing young woman, the magic of the moment and the joy of the dance came back to me.
I don’t dance anymore, mostly because my life got busier and I took on some other “extra- curricular” activities. But with the girls grown and almost gone, I find myself missing the romance of the ballroom (sadly my husband, for as wonderful and romantic as he is, simply does not care for dancing) and the “Calgon take me away” experience of letting my day melt into the background as a lovely waltz plays. Ironically, my favorite song to dance to was called “Turn Around”, a lullaby from parent to child about how, in the blink of an eye, he/she grows up and leaves the nest. How quickly mine have grown up and left the nest.
Maybe I will return to the ballroom…that fantasyland of magical music where everyone is beautiful.

Dave Riggler's stories are about Dave, a handicapped man. He uses a wheelchair, but the stories don't focus on his disability. For the most part they are about how Dave deals with the same types of things we all do. I like this approach because the author is not trying to make us feel sorry for his character. The short stories are tightly written, with straightforward plots. Dave's character develops seamlessly over the stories. Since the stories are in chronological order you can see how Dave changes and matures over time. The pacing is appropriate for a relaxed read.
The gem of the book is Last Call. Dave and a lady friend are celebrating his birthday at a local bar. They have a few drinks, do some dancing, and just talk. Dave uses the bathroom, and as he returns he notices a despondent woman at the bar. He wheels over and asks her what is wrong. It seems her life has fallen apart. Her kids hate her, and everyone else does too. Nothing is working. Dave tells her it can't be all that bad. But then she drops the bombshell. This really is her “last call.” She is going to kill herself tomorrow. Of course Dave tries to talk her out of it. But as he goes home that night the self-doubts hit. Should he have given her the number for a suicide hotline? Called the police? What if she actually does it?
I also really liked Penned. Dave has been Internet dating a lady for a few months. They agree to meet for the first time at Penn Station. They have dinner, and talk, and everything looks to be going very well. But slowly Dave starts to learn that her real interest is very different than the love he expected. Also included in the volume is Learning to Crawl, a story of his brother trying to teach Dave to walk about age 5 or 6. Next, First Steps concerns Dave at 13, when his school was trying to get him to use a walker so he'd look “less disabled.” But Dave likes his wheelchair, and a walker is too exhausting for him to use so he fights it. Going Under is a story about Dave having surgery. He's had the same surgery 13 times before. But he is nervous because he is not sure how different death and anesthesia really are. Also included is Tuesday, Dave's recollection of how he learned of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. All of us can identify with that, as we all remember how we found out and where we were. Taken together the stories present a nice cross-section of Dave's life.
This is a collection of six short stories concerning David Riggler, a handicapped person who uses a wheelchair. The stories follow him through his early childhood to middle age as he comes to terms with himself and deals with the challenges that come with not only his situation, but with the human condition in general.
The stories in this volume are: Learning To Crawl, First Steps, Last Call, Going Under, Tuesday, Penned

The war rages on! The third album from old school metal veterans Memoriam, “Requiem for Mankind”, was released last Friday. Just a year after the release of their second album “The Silent Vigil”, the band returns with an authentic, raw offering packed with old school death metal destruction. Once again, the groove is monstrous, the riffs are merciless, and the atmosphere is oppressive, paralyzing, even overwhelming. Willett’s aggressive vocals are rousing and relentless.

Dec 26, 2009, 3:32 PM EDT
As MLB.com’s Mark Newman points out, today — Saturday, Dec. 26, 2009 — marks the 90th anniversary of the Red Sox selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees.
The infamous deal lost some of its luster once the Red Sox snapped the supposed “curse” it brought upon the franchise with their sweep of the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series, but it’s an important day in baseball history nonetheless. In fact, as Newman points out, it’s an important day in world history:
The Ruth sale happened on Dec. 26, 1919.
The FM radio was patented on Dec. 26, 1933.
The United Soviet Socialist Republic was formally
dissolved on Dec. 26, 1991.
Two disasters have occurred on Dec. 26: the Indian Ocean
tsunami in 2004 and a Taiwan earthquake in 2006.
Mao Zedong was born on Dec. 26, 1893.
The Pilgrims landed at what became New Plymouth on Dec. 26, 1690,
And on Dec. 26, 1776, the British lost the Battle of Trenton after General George Washington led his troops across the Delaware River.
Cursed or not, it’s a day of much importance. And to us baseball fans, it doesn’t get much more important than the Big Bambino. The “Sultan of Swat” had a .342/.474/.690 career batting line over 22 professional seasons. He hit 714 home runs and tallied 2217 runs batted in. We celebrate a lot this time of year — the holidays, a new year, good food — and yet it always seems relevant to celebrate the game’s ultimate icon.
