Postcards from buster we are family1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() I wonder how the live action segments were filmed. The camcorder device sets up the live action portions of the episode so there are real live action shots of the interior of a plane and the take off and landing. To cheer him up, Bitzi gives Buster a camcorder so he can film everything he is doing and send the tapes back home. The Reads, plus Buster, finally head off to the airport! Buster carries a box of tissues from home in case Bitzi starts crying, but it turns out he’s the one who needs the tissues. Buster feels slightly better about leaving although he is bummed when he realizes he will have to clean up the mess he created. Bitzi figures what’s going on and tells Buster that of course she is going to miss him but he shouldn’t feel guilty about taking the opportunity to go spend time with his dad. “I bet you can’t wait to get rid of me now!” he tells Bitzi cheerfully when she comes home to see the mess. I really feel that if left to his own devices, Buster would live in some “Hoarders”-style pig sty. He tries the opposite approach and acts like a lazy slob, which, quite frankly, I am not entirely positive is just an act. can stop pinching pennies!īuster tries out Arthur’s advice of being super sweet and helpful to his mom but then he worries that this will just make Bitzi miss him even more. Thankfully, Grandma Thora wins big at bingo and gives her winnings to the family so they can go see the show so D.W. Unfortunately, she only finds ten cents and her old imaginary pet flying pig, Snooter. She tries to put Arthur and Pal on diets, clips coupons, and digs around the couch for loose change. vows to help the family save money so they can get tickets to see the show. David is sketpical Broadway tickets are expensive and Unicornacopia looks terrible.įor God’s sake, a local newspaper only gave it one star. Arthur reads the ad and fins out that it’s playing in New York City so D.W. recognizes an ad for Unicornacopia, a Broadway musical that is being advertised on TV. Their relationship is a little one-sided if you ask me.Īt the breakfast table, D.W. Buster thanks Arthur for that advice and in return, he punches Arthur’s Greebs hat inside out. He imagines her sobbing her heart out at the airport and drowning the whole place in her tears.Īrthur suggests that Buster be nice to his mom so it won’t hurt as much when he leaves. Buster explains that he’s worried that his mom will miss him when he goes away. Arthur asks what gives because hello, packing for the bro trip is phase one of the most exciting part of the bro trip. It’s their first road trip as bros.Īrthur is excitedly packing for the upcoming trip and wondering if New Yorkers will be offended if he wears his Elwood City Greebs hat while Buster sits glumly. excitedly.Īrthur and Buster are pumped too. “The New York City? Not some city called Old York City?” cries D.W. Jane sees the kids spying and informs them that the Read clan are going to New York City to take Buster to see his father! is interested and lends Arthur a paper towel tube to help listen better. Now that it might possibly concern her, D.W. comes out of her room to scold Arthur for “ear dropping” but he insists that whatever Jane and Bitzi are talking about could affect the whole family. ![]() I’m glad somebody is doing their job out there and getting the facts straight.Īlso, I can’t believe I wrote two paragraphs about the Wikipedia entries of PBS animated series.īuster and Arthur are eavesdropping on a mysterious conversation that their mothers are having and trying to relay their respective informative via walkie talkie. I just read on the “Arthur” Wikipedia page that this season 8 episode was basically a backdoor pilot to both set up and test the concept of a Buster-centric spin-off. Buster doesn’t send any postcards to anyone! How did an episode where Buster doesn’t send any postcards inspire a whole show where Buster sends video postcards to his friends? That’s some– I don’t buy the bullshit on “Postcards from Buster” Wikipedia page that claims that the"Postcards From Buster" spin-off was inspired by this episode. Note: This episode is a two-part episode but will be recapped as a singular episode. I’ll write a full post on it New Year’s Day. Meaning: this blog will still exist and recaps will come back, here and on another place. I have been thinking about the future of this blog and don’t worry, it’s a positive one. I will still re-post the Christmas recap tomorrow. Merry Christmas Eve! I know I haven’t been active very much so instead of just reposting my Arthur’s Perfect Christmas Eve recap, I decided to work on the next recap, which so happens to be the special “Postcards From Buster”.

Wally beaver and eddie haskell1/1/2024 ![]() “He was a terrific guy, he was a terrific actor and his character is probably one that will last forever,” Dow told The Associated Press on Monday. He constantly kissed up to adults and kicked down at his peers, usually in the same scene, and was the closest thing the wholesome show had to a villain. Ken Osmond’s Eddie Haskell stood out among many memorable characters on the classic family sitcom “Leave it to Beaver,” which ran from 1957 to 1963 on CBS and ABC, but had a decades-long life of reruns and revivals.Įddie was the best friend of Tony Dow’s Wally Cleaver, big brother to Jerry Mathers’ Beaver Cleaver. “He had his family gathered around him when he passed. “He was an incredibly kind and wonderful father,” son Eric Osmond said in a statement. May he rest in peace.LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ken Osmond, who played the two-faced teenage scoundrel Eddie Haskell on TV’s “Leave It to Beaver,” died Monday, his family said. Osmond’s wife of 51 years, Sandy, their two children, and various other family members mourn his death. After that movie, Osmond would occasionally make appearances at nostalgia conventions, collector shows, and festivals. In the movie, Osmond played the father of his former character, Eddie Haskell. The beloved actor joined the cast of the “Leave It to Beaver” movie in 1997. In 1983, he joined some of his old co-stars to reunite in “The New Leave It to Beaver.” In the series, Osmond’s sons Christian and Eric portrayed the sons of Eddie Haskell (Osmond’s character). Eventually, he retired, earning a medical disability pension from the force. Osmond was wounded in the line of duty three times. He was a skilled member of the vice squad. To help protect his anonymity he grew a mustache. Afterward, he had a few brief roles in the TV shows “Petticoat Junction,” and “The Munsters.” In 1967, he performed his last minor role in “C’mon, Let’s Live a Little,” before joining the Los Angeles Police Department. What Did He Do After “Leave It to Beaver”?Īfter the show ended in 1963, the child star joined the Army for a brief time. He would be completely respectful to the Cleaver mom while bullying Beaver and calling him “squirt.” His best buddy Wally Cleaver would get into trouble from time to time when Haskell convinced him to break a rule or curfew. On the show, Haskell’s horrible shenanigans would smudge the Cleaver name on occasion. His blond, curly hair, hideous sneer, and frightening stance made him an instant sensation. ![]() From there the boys had minor roles in “So Big,” “Good Morning, Miss Dove,” and “Everything But the Truth.” Becoming an Instant SensationĪfter his small part in “Everything But the Truth,” Osmond appeared on the popular shows, “Circus Boy,” “Lassie,” and “Annie Oakley.” Osmond was 14 years old when he scored the role of Eddie Haskell. Osmond and his brother, Dayton were child extras in “Plymouth Adventures,” a Mayflower pilgrim tale. Thanks to her being the classic stage mom, he and his brother got their big break in acting. The father’s job gave the mother (Pearl Hand) access behind the scenes where she would talk to people about her sons. His father Thurman Osmond was a propmaker and studio carpenter. The actor was born on June 3, 1943, in Glendale California. He was loved and will be missed.” His Early Years ![]() Osmond’s son Eric released a statement announcing the actor’s death. At this time there has not been a cause of death listed. He played Eddie Haskell, the smart-alecky sidekick to Wally Beaver. On May 18, 2020, “Leave It to Beaver” star, Ken Osmond passed away.

Hobby farms for sale in se mn12/31/2023 That was up 36% to 50% from 2020 when the top third of all rents in that county ranged from $275 per acre to $300 per acre. Rents – The top rents for the region were in Nobles and Rock counties, on the Iowa border in the southwest corner of the state.įor example, in Rock County, rents in the “high” third of the rents negotiated in 2021 ranged from $375 an acre to $450 per acre. Terry Longtin, of Grand Forks, North Dakota, area vice president for the northern region for Farmers National Co., wrote a Market Conditions report for both reports. ![]() Nearly 50 members contributed, which is slightly better than the 30% to 40% average. The chapter has 110 members, including farm managers, appraisers and related consultants. The chapter reports on actual land sales and cash rent contracts, omitting “non-typical” transactions, including sales between “related parties, irrigated (wet) cropland, transitional and/or development land, land under restrictive easements, etc.” The organizers noted that because the rates were handled by ASFMRA members, they would likely bring “premium rents compared to privately negotiated rental rates.” Ag land values are generally higher in the southern part of the state than the north. The report, released March 1, 2022, does not give a state score but focuses on local and county changes. Minnesota land values in 2021 increased from 2020, according to a report from the Minnesota chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers.

Chinese checkers marble board12/31/2023 I have included my crv files, please be sure to check all toolpaths and settings before using, adjust them if necessary. ![]() I used a piece of Cabinet Grade Pine plywood 15" x 15" ( I use this for the plywood contest) This would work with any wood species. It's all about having quality time and fun with your family! The Family loved it and I did to, although I didn't win. Last week we played a game of Chinese Checkers on it ( brung back old memories). I couldn't fine any marbles local, so I had to ordered them off EBAY. Now I let the stain dry for 24 hours and sprayed a couple coats of Clear sealer. I put on a coat of Minwax wood conditioner, then a coat of Minwax Ipswich Pine stain, left it on for a few minutes then wiped it off. After the paint dried, I sanded the entire piece with 220 grit sandpaper, I used a electric sander for most, but had to do some hand sanding. I painted the Dragon cutout with Black craft paint. Hop Ching Checkers, the first game board of Chinese Checkers was published in the United States in 1928 by J. I also use a 3/8" radius bit to both sides. I use a 30* Engraving bit to carve the Dragon and then use it to finish the cutout.Īfter cutting the board out, took it to my Table router and use a flush cut bit to clean up the 1/16" lip. Handcrafted Chinese Checkers Wooden Game Board, Marble Board Game, Handmade Old Fashioned Chinese Checkers Wooden Board Game (91) 85.00. Then I used a 1/4" endmill cutter to cut most of the project out, left about 1/16", so I could flip the board over and Carve the Dragon out. Chinese Checkers with Marbles Brand: Classic Game Collection 4.6 338 ratings 8 answered questions 3249 Includes 2.50 Amazon discount. ![]() Then I used a Keyhole cutter to cut the keyhole slot for hanging, had the cutter to use one of the marble holes. I use a 1/4" endmill to rough cut the pockets, then used a 1/2" Radius cutter to finish the pockets and cut the places for marbles. I found the Crv files on Woodworkers Journal, below is the linkīut I made some changes to the files in Vectric Aspire, added a Keyhole toolpath to hang the board up on the wall.Plus added a Dragon carving on the back side. The first step was to make or use a pattern. I thought it would be great to have a game on one side and a piece of Artwork on the other, this is what I came up with. But I wanted it to be more than just a game, stuck in a drawer until being played. I remember playing Chinese Checkers as a kid. My family and I get together once a week to have family game night, so I wanted to make us a game on my new X-Carve. Hi this is my first Instructable, on How I made a Chinese Checkers Board on my X-Carve CNC Router.

Buddy punch employee time clock12/31/2023 It is a leadership and personal accountability concept brought to the attention of business managers the world over with the popular book of the same name. Extreme ownership is one of these values. That makes it the perfect time to take a couple of seconds to think about the company’s culture and values as they switch into work mode. After all, most people do not want to do anything that could risk their job or give them a guilty conscience why not do everyone a favor and remove the temptation entirely? Infuse Company Culture With Extreme OwnershipĬlocking in is the very first thing that your employees do when they start their work day. That makes it a permanent solution for two problems: the financial burden placed upon your company by employee time theft and your staff feeling pressured to punch in for their coworker if asked. Punch in systems such as Jolt’s face detection time clock software prevents employees from being able to clock in for a coworker. According to one 2017 study, buddy punching is the cause of financial loss for US businesses to the tune of 373 million dollars per year. In some cases, less scrupulous employees have been known to clock in a coworker for entire hours – or even shifts – for which they are not actually present. Although it is most often done when a coworker is running only a few minutes behind schedule, It is still a form of time theft. The main benefit of using facial detection as part of your company’s employee time clock software is that it eliminates and discourages buddy clock-ins because it captures a picture of every employee punch in/punch out. Save time and money by digitizing your employee clock in procedures and by enhancing your employees’ personal accountability to meet and exceed performance goals. Jolt uses industry-leading technology solutions to help your company to operate at the highest levels of efficiency. ![]() Individual employees’ pay grades and overtime rates can easily be kept organized as well. ![]() Early and late punches can be blocked or flagged to reduce unnecessary or unauthorized overtime. Our time clock also excels in preventing time theft and unscheduled employee breaks. In addition to many useful extras, Jolt’s employee time clock software covers all the essential facets of employee time management in one easy-to-use platform. That’s where Jolt comes in – with a time clock and employee management software that requires no special training and makes work life easier for both employees and administrators. It needs to be quick, convenient, and free from the flaws that make many methods of clocking in and out susceptible to fraud, alteration, or forgetfulness. Asking employees to report their own hours worked tends to be unreliable, as many people forget to keep track or might exaggerate a bit.įor a time clock system to be truly effective, it needs to be easy to use and available to all employees, whether they work in the office or from home. Key fobs and swipe cards go missing, end up in the washing machine, break and need to be replaced, or become demagnetized. ![]() Old-fashioned paper punch cards are only effective for in-office employees, and they rely on technology that has long been obsolete. Many of the traditional methods of employee timekeeping are no longer effective in today’s business landscape.

Geist fafnir unboxing hasbro12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Due to the greater exposed surface area of the rubber, the effect is more prominent than in Drain Fafnir, though the greater weight makes the effect far less pronounced against lightweight opponents. When spinning slower than a Right-Spin opponent, the rubber "F"s of Geist Fafnir allows for Spin-Equalization, where the Layers of two opposite spinning Beyblades work akin to gears and equally distribute their spin, by acting as a cushion against impact, increasing friction between Layers, acting as a "hook" for the other Beyblade to catch into and propel Geist Fafnir faster and reducing recoil to increase the rate of contact. While the triangular shape and rough perimeter of Geist Fafnir may imply recoil, the Left-Spin nature of this Layer reduces recoil against a Right-Spin opponent. The third is that the Layer features an automatic mode change gimmick. ![]() The inclusion of rubber aids in this Layer's ability to equalize spin with a Right-Spin opponent. The second is that the "F"s are made of rubber, akin to both its predecessor. Geist Fafnir also features gimmicks: The first is that this Layer is meant to spin Left, opposite to most other Beyblades. Takara Tomy's Geist Fafnir, like its predecessor Drain Fafnir, is a Stamina Type Energy Layer that features a triangular perimeter and three side profile dragon heads with an "F" along each, meant to represent this Layer's namesake Fafnir the Nordic Dragon of Greed. As part of the Cho-Z Layer System, Geist Fafnir features metal in its design in this case, interspersed between the dragon heads. The inclusion of metal makes this Layer heavier than most God Layers.
