The second season of Leave It to Beaver finds the Cleaver family happy and wholesome as ever, with most episodes involving the Beaver getting into a scrape, or hearing the from-the-mountaintop advice from Mom or Dad afterwards. Despite the formula, the episodes hold up well, because of the earnestness of the actors and the delivery of their lines, which is, well, swell. Mom June (Barbara Billingsley) is the matriarch who makes it all look easy in her well-pressed frocks and pearls (pay close attention to those necklaces--there are actually several; some plain strands and some with pendants), and Dad Ward (Hugh Beaumont) is thoughtful and a little monolithic. But it's the adventures of boys, older brother Wally (Tony Dow) and the Beav (Jerry Mathers), that make the show so fun. One episode involves Beav and pal Larry (Rusty Stevens) playing hooky (they're late to school anyway, and they figure they may as well get "killed" later as opposed to today), and then winding up on live TV, on a show which June just happens to be watching. Moral? Golly gee, there's more than one, and they're delivered by both parents and Beav's teacher--and echoed earnestly by Beaver himself. The chuckles come in a ready stream, even if sometimes inadvertently. Sample exchange: Wally: "Mom, can I get tattooed?" June: "Tattooed!? Absolutely not!" Wally: "Oh, OK. Bye." No wonder people are so nostalgic for the '50s--teenagers never gave anyone any lip. This season, 1957-58, contains 39 remastered episodes on three double-sided discs, and is a treasure box of nostalgia, in the absolute best sense. --A.T. Hurley
America's quintessential family returns with all 39 original, uncut episodes of Leave It to Beaver Season 2! Return to Mayfield for a warm welcome from its most charming family -- the Cleavers: wise pop Ward (Hugh Beaumont), resourceful mother June (Barbara Billingsley), curious older brother Wally (Tony Dow), and lovable, scruffy Theodore "Beaver" (Jerry Mathers). From building a boat to beating a bully to dealing with girls (cooties!), there's nothing the two Cleaver boys can't handle with a little luck and a lot of wholesome, homespun advice. Digitally remastered for optimum picture and audio quality, critics declare "...this 1957-1963 sitcom is as enjoyable today for its '50s nostalgia as it was then for its modern, understated humor" (David Bianculli, New York Daily News). Gee whiz! Starring: Jerry Mathers, Barbara Billingsley, Hugh Beaumont, Tony Dow, Ken Osmond

California Dreams - Seasons 1 & 2
List Price: $44.99
Sale Price: $22.49

All 31 episodes from the first and second seasons--including "The First Gig," "Romancing the Tube," "Caio, Jenny," "The Year of the Woo," and "Indecent Promposal"--are presented in a five-disc set. 11 hrs. total. Standard; Soundtrack: English. **31 episodes on 5 discs. 11 hrs.**
Everyone who grew up in the early 1990s can rejoice: California Dreams has finally come out on DVD! In the first season of this Saturday morning sitcom, teenage brother and sister Matt and Jenny Garrison (Brent Gore and Heidi Noelle Lenhart) bounced between their family and their soft-rock band. Their bandmates/best friends included blond surfer girl Tiffany (Kelly Packard, later on Baywatch), would-be smoothie Tony (William James Jones), and their greedy, scheming manager Sly (Michael Cade). Matt was an all-around nice guy, while Jenny had a feminist streak and stood up for herself in the face of casual chauvinism from the boys. But early in the second season Jenny left to study music in Rome and was replaced by Sam (Jennie Kwan), a chatty exchange student from Hong Kong, and a black-leather-jacketed bad boy with a sensitive side named Jake (Jay Anthony Franke) became Matt’s new songwriting partner. The Garrison family receded and the band became the show’s enduring focus. Though it launched in 1992, the first two seasons of California Dreams suffered from a 1980s hangover of baggy jackets, patterns not found in nature, and over-produced pop that would have made Debbie Gibson blush with shame. The plots were usually contrived (when the band gets their first gig, Matt and Jenny’s dad had gotten the whole family plane tickets for a trip to the Grand Canyon on the same day) or resolved way, way too quickly (Tiffany is reunited with the mother who abandoned her years earlier--in 20 minutes, they’re pals!). But such is the stuff of sitcoms; California Dreams can be commended for attempting any emotional depth at all, as well as making some gesture towards girl power. Perhaps most radical of all, the teenagers were mostly portrayed by actual teenagers (at least when the show began). The series may have been prefabricated and woefully square in its attempts to be hip, but that’s part of its appeal: It’s a freshly scrubbed pre-teen fantasy of glamorous high-school life. No wonder the pre-teens who watched continue to hold California Dreams dear. This box set of seasons 1 & 2 includes a brief interview with the grown-up Gore, Packard, Cade, and Kwan, who of course gush with enthusiasm about the show--but the interplay between them shows both affection and exasperation and feels pleasantly genuine. --Bret Fetzer

Changing Rhythms, Works by Leland Bell (Oglethorpe University Museum of Art)
|
|
|
This beautiful, full color catalog contains a powerful collection of American painter Leland Bell's distinctive figure groups, portraits and still lifes comprising the accompanying exhibition of Bell's works. Included are a number of previouly unpublished portraits and other works by the artist, who on occasion during his career actually repainted works after they had already been photographed for use in print. As stated by exhibition curator and List Gallery Director, Andrea Packard, "Searching for poetry instead of novelty, Leland Bell focused on three traditional subjects: still life, portraiture, and figure composition. Adamant and often arrogant in arguing his beliefs, he was modest in his subjects, choosing to paint the people and things around him that he loved most..."

WARNING: the I Stands For Impersonal
That's right you are reading correctly. The i Stands for Impersonal.
* internet=impersonal
* information age=impersonal
* instant messaging=impersonal
* e-mail=impersonal
It is the dawning of a new era, whereas our technology is creating and evolving our society into a people not having inter-personal skills. Everybody loves to Text and IM and no longer wish to hear another humans voice. I myself Text (Text Message), IM (Instant Message) or Email (Electronic Mail) someone for specific purposes and I have always thought that is what this technology is for. I have always been kept current with the latest technology. I grew up with a father that back in the 70's we had a lot of technology in possession of and around for us to utilize. We had in our home a great big free standing copy machine with 4 different selections of paper and enlargement and reduction with a reversing automatic document feeder which allowed for double-sided copies. This was something that only big companies with multiple employees had but it was in our foyer. If we walked into the library (the one in our house) we had an assortment of typewriters depending on what you had to do. We had a dictating machine, most people don't even know what that is. We had a fax machine. In my dad's suburban he had a telephone. How many people do you know that had a telephone in their car in the 70's. The thing was HUGE We always had pagers. Back then the pager would beep and you would have to call into a telephone service to get the message.
As I got older and technology grew I made it a point to keep current with it. My first computer was an IBM. This was the 80's.It had two disk drives, one for the program that you were using and the other to save your work. They didn't have the type of hard drives we have now. In the early 80's my pager became digital and also with an 800 number. People could call my 800 number and leave either a voice message or put in their number and it would show up on my digital LED display on the pager and I would call them back, if they left a voice message, my 800 number would be on the display. In th early 90'smy pager became real unique. It grew in size with a LCD screen and people could call my 800 number and select from a menu to punch in their number for me to call back or they could elect to speak to a live operator and that person would type in a message into special software and then send that right to my pager. You could also fax to the pager as well. It was called a SkyPager. At this time I also had a car phone and a handheld phone, which now everybody has. Back then I had a company called Bell Atlantic which is now Verizon Wireless. My contract was $35.00 per month plus $0.36 cents per minute. My average phone bill was approximately $650 to $800 per month. Nobody had them. Out of all the people I hung around with, I didn't know anyone with one except for the people I worked with and of course my father who was the Vice-President of the corporation. My SkyPager was $45.00 per month plus $0.50 cents per messagethat was typed in by the live operator. At our office my secretary had the software on her computer which was connected to the internet so she could type in messages at no additional cost. At home I had multiple computers and of course they were on a local area network so if there was info on computer c when I was working on computer a, I could still get to the info on computer c or even computer b if I desired.
I had an internet account back then. It was 1994 and AOL was new but yet growing huge. They had plenty of money to do it with. Back then they gave away their software Cd's everywhere for that gave a person X amount of minutes for free on their site and on the World Wide Web. I can remember those bills after the free trial period was up. I would pay some months upwards of $200.00 for my AOL Account and another $150.00 for my phone bill because the local number for my modem to call , the modem was a slow one and of course I had the fastest 14.4k and I used a long distance number to get to a faster modem otherwise it would take too long for the pages to load. Nowadays people don't know about that. Now you put in a URL and hit enter and it is up in about one second back then a page could take 30 seconds or longer depending on the file size of images that had to be loaded.
Enough about the old days and old technology. I am sure that you realize that I am an expert in today's technology. I didn't even mention my extensive training in computers, networking, office equipment, even electronics and white goods believe it or not and I'll throw in one more, automobiles. I have worked for and/or represented some of the top corporations of America such as Compaq, Packard Bell, IBM, Sharp Electronics, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Minolta, Canon, Maytag, General Electric, Amana, Frigidaire, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge and there's more. While working for or representing those companies I always utilized all the current technology, however I always understood the importance of face to face or voice communication. All of today's technology keeps us from having what is important in our life and that is a proper foundation for relationships. Some of the most important things to us in our lives is our relationships. The most important thing to me is my relationship with God.Second: My relationships with my Family, Relatives and Friends. Recently I have had some interesting experiences in which I was establishing friendships with some people and the efforts went sour. To me the word Friend has a great meaning. Wikapdia defines Friendship as:
* Friendship is the cooperative and supportive relationship between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, affection, and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as the exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for some, the practical execution of friendship is little more than the trust that someone will not harm them.
I was in a house fire in May 2008 my injuries were severe and permanent. (It happened in a different state that I live in now. I use to live here before but the friends I had were getting involved in things that I had no interest in because they were illegal activities. I was gone many years) I had been in a coma for just over a month and it took several months for me to re-learn many things that we take for granted such as walking, reaching, grabbing, and holding. For many months my physical therapy went on until I reached a certain point that they could ship me out of this special unit I was in to a regular hospital which I stayed at for some time however they didn't keep up the therapy but they did ship me to a nursing home . The nursing home gave me freedom to come and go. One of my old co-workers which I believed was a friend came by regularly. She was kind, I thought, as well as her husband and child. She use to pick me up on Wednesday's and take me to the store and I would always buy us lunch. I had some money put away but it only lasted a few months and so did that supposed friendship. As soon a the money was gone so was she. That's not all. As I was trying to get back to work I had been talking to my boss about getting put back on the schedule and he gave me a date and she took me to the mall to buy new uniforms and shoes and then to look for an apartment to rent because my house burned down and I lost everything. Then just before the start date came I went in to talk to my boss and he said something came up and I wasn't needed but I could take this different position starting a few weeks later then just before that job came up I went in and he changed his mind again. Well here is what was taking place, I would be talking to him and he would be telling me of upcoming positions and then I would get in this ladies truck for us to go to lunch and I would tell her what took place during our meeting and she would go back and get the job for her husband. It took me several months to realize this. I had actually gone out with a different friend one day and we had lunch at the restaurant that I had previously worked at and their was my friend's husband doing the job that I was supposed to have and then of course I found out he also had gotten the other two jobs that I was suppose to have started. Just to clarify about the boss, he was new. Although I had the best of schedules before the fire and the best position that was because I had a great boss at that time and the new boss was just an Assistant boss back then.
So is this how a relationship is suppose to work? I think not. Her and I were just building a relationship to become a friendship. I was always leery about her cause she use to call me her friend, closest friend, best friend, when really we weren't friends. To me a friendship can take many years to establish and for that first 6 months to a year you are just establishing and building the foundation of what your relationship will be built upon. Recently I started hanging out with one of my neighbors. Now granted I can't do all that much because I still have the physical ailments from the fire but there are many things I can in which we did. One problem I had with him though was his constant lying. He lied about anything and everything. So what do you do when that happens in the very beginning and during the building of that friendship? Easy answer; Get rid of that person from your life. Nobody needs that aggravation.
The i Stands for Impersonal....When hiding behind a screen or monitor for long periods of time a person loses the interest and desire to want to see other people and to want to hear another's voice. While this has not happened to me, I have been in touch (through Email, Text, and IM) with several people who have lost that interest and desire and in addition the actual abilities to deal with others face to face and by voice communication. Recently I have helped several people to build a website for their business and/or hobby. One person I had met in a membership site and she would only communicate with me through private messages through that site and not by email which saves alot of time because you don't have to keep logging in to that membership site. I finally told her I couldn't help her unless she emailed me. I think she was afraid of me having her email address, however I was helping her to get her website up and running and I knew her name. So automatically I knew her email address it was: HerName@HerDomain.com. People are crazy. Somebody else that I had spent numerous and I mean NUMEROUS hours helping to get their site up and to learn add-ons to the site recently became one of those people, actually I guess this person (we'll call Frank) was always like that. However with the type of help Frank needed in the beginning required us to talk on the phone. Frank and I spoke on the phone a few times but we emailed everyday and sometimes IM'd.
I don't know about you but when I am at the computer, I am busy working. It is my job. My computer was only for social use when I first got a AOL Account in the mid 90's. Once I learned that money can be made online, this became a tool, just like a wrench to a Mechanic, a pen to an Accountant, or a truck to a courier. I will have some friends email me and some IM me. When they do email me some I will respond to right away. When someone IM"s me, if I want to IM with that person then, I will. IM and even a conversation in email (going back and forth) is very disrupting with IM's being the most disrupting . I normally will respond and give that person about 5-10 minutes of IM's and if I want to talk further I normally ask if it's convenient that I call because I am trying to get something done on the computer. I only have one computer and one set of hands. When you IM with someone you cannot get anything done in between the messages, it is too quick. I see nothing wrong with talking on the phone with someone while getting things done on the computer. Frank got all bent out of shape yesterday and it has actually happened before a couple times just not to this degree and that is because I didn't kiss butt and sweep it away, there comes a time when enough is enough. High School was years ago let's leave those traits behind us. I see no problem with IM'ing with someone for a period of time and then when you realize that the conversation could go on for a long period you kindly ask if it is okay to call to carry on the conversation so you can get some work done. Hell, if someone called you on your cell phone you may talk to them for a bit you but when you realize the conversation may go awhile you might ask if you can call them back from the house phone. If someone called you while you were in the middle of cooking dinner you might ask that person if you can get back to them later. We have all different types of scenario's that may take place, none of them are wrong and all of them are right.
What type of person make's rules of how you are suppose to have a conversation with them? Who needs a person in their life that places boundaries on such a subject such as; "How to have a conversation with Frank?" Frank actually told me that I should have said when Frank first IM'd me, that I was busy. Now Frank knows all I do is work on my websites. I have 14 domains that I am working on. Some are e-commerce sites. I met Frank in a membership site, not one of those Social Networks where grown adults play games such as; Pimp My ?, I'm a Gangsta Join My Mafioso Famigliari, Look at me Popular. I see people that do that stuff for hours on end. Good for them, they found something that interests them and keeps them occupied because they have nothing better to do.
Let me tell you I use technology for what is meant for. The only time I text someone is to send a quick message or because I don't want to talk to them or I don't want to hear their response. The only time I use IM'ing is to have a brief conversation and mainly to just find out if it is a convenient time for that person to talk on the phone. E-Mail is for things that need to arrive faster that snail mail and to save money over snail mail also to send folders, files, pictures etc.
Don't hide behind that monitor pick up the phone and hear the warmth of a person's voice.Go knock on a door and feel the warmth of a person and their voice. In addition never tell someone your IM'ing who ask's if they can call you because they need their computer never tell them they should of told you in the beginning they were busy and then start an argument with them just so you don't have to talk to that person, be honest and upfront and tell the person you would rather not speak to them on the phone, and especially don't go to that person with some psychological B.S. telling them you hear blame in their voice when your the one going back to them telling them that they are to blame. I am more than sure that you probably know that they don't need a therapist cause they already have one and that's been explained before as well. Even after all that crap which actually only took minutes to occur, I still sent Frank a $30.00 software program at no charge, all I asked was for feedback about the download and Frank couldn't even give that. When meeting these type of people on the Internet run from them. There is nothing wrong with meeting someone in a special membership club and giving your number and talking to that person from time to time. Once you have some difficulties, if it is in the beginning, then run like hell. It will only get worst, actually, it may get better but why take the chance.
Don't allow for today's technology to hinder your abilities to create, establish and maintain personal relationships in your life. Stay in contact with as many people as possible whether business or personal. Emotion is not carried through on printed text, neither is all the definitions and explanations. You can only send so much and it is easy to be misunderstood.

Can you help me find details about an old Packard Bell Computer?
I have an old Packard Bell Computer Model A940-3X3 and was wondering if someone could tell me all about it.
I want to give it away and would like to be able to tell the folks a bit about it.
It's pretty old, but it says Pentium on the front.....probably a P1 if there was such a thing.
It does have a CD ROM and a Floppy disk....and it works.
Your computer probably runs Windows 95 or 98. If you go to Control Panel, click on System, you will see what CPU and how much memory the computer has. Click on Device Manager, you will see all the hardware, like modem, sound card, video card, etc. Click on My Computer on the desktop, right click C: drive, select property, you will see what size the hard drive is, and how much free space your computer has.
