Such was the power of Beethoven's name in Roll Over Bethoven that it was ripe for parody when the Rutles wrote a song called Blue Suede Schubert as a tongue in cheek response to the
Bethoven mention.
.A Fifth of Beethoven was a big disco-era hit, released in 1976. An instrumental composed and
recorded by Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band, the song took its inspiration from the first movement of arguably the most famous symphony ever composed - Beethoven's Fifth. It was so
catchy that it would be included in the soundtrack of another disco-era gem, the film
Saturday Night Fever.
Love letters of Great Men and Women From the Eighteenth Century to the Present Day, Beethoven's letters were quoted and played a crucial plot role in 2008's Sex and the City movie.

The Energy Department strives tfo be a leader in championing energy efficiency. It's Web site
lists energy-savings tips, while Secretary Steven Chu calls conservation one of the department's most important goals. But at many of the agency buildings, even as national laboratories where
talented scientists seek technological break-throughs to save energy, the department has failed to use one of the simplest most effective ways tools avaiable to any ordinary household --- ther-
mostats that automatically dial back the temperature when nobody is around. A recent audit found the the Energy Department could save more that $11.5 million a year by properly employing setback controls to adjust the heat and air conditioning at night and on weekends.

Margaret Holland Sargent painter

With a Name like Sargent, You've Got to be Good

When you first meet Margaret Holland Sargent you may already be aware of her career as an
artist, possibly have seen a few of her portraits. That is not enough to prepare you for the small, elegant woman you are about to meet one-to-one, on a writer-to-artist basis. Gracious, unruffled, she serves the lunch she has thoughtfully prepared.

The sprawling open rooms - - living room, dining area, foyer and more - -- seems to spread forever, looking over a panoramic view of Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and West Los Angeles.
The rooms with their handsome, understated decor offer a perfect backdrop for her portraits. A
carefully selected few are skillfully lighted to show off the area as well as the paintings themselves in the most complimentary way possible.

Today Margaret Holland Sargent is recognized as one of the nation's finest portrait artist. Her
subjects range from toddlers to business tycoons, from teenagers to Top Brass - from former
President Jimmy Carter and General Alexabder M Haig, Jr. to the children of close friends. She
has executed literally hundreds of portraits for individuals, clients, organizations and publications. She is the only woman member on the panel of the National Portrait Seminar,
held annually in New York City.
"To paint light. To reproduce an uncanny likeness. To please the subject as well as myself. These are my goals while I strive to create a lasting work of art."

"Citizens by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to your affections . . .
The indipendence and liberty you possess are the work of ... . common dangers, sufferings and
successes. " George Washington - - Farewell Address 1796

It has been 200 + years since George Washington died, but his story is more important than ever. His sacrifices for his country made him a legend, but who was this complex and valiant
man? Cheryl Harness uses her lively writing style and richly detailed watercolors to bring
the man behind the monument to life.

Love of liberty compelled George Washington to serve his country. Was he always sure he
could do the job? Not at all! But he had to try.

We, the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America. 1787

Listen up gals. Drugstore mascaras are starting to catch up to their department-store counterparts in terms of technology. L'Oreal, which is brought to us by the same company that
produces Lancome, just released their new Extra Volume Collagen mascara ($8). The packaging
elegant and futuristic, and the collagen-packed formula glides on smoothly. No clumps! And though I couldn't tell you the exact size increase, the formula liiks like it comes close to its "12x the volume" promise. sacha fashionsita

McGUFFEY'S eclectic
Frosty is the morning;
But the sun is bright,
Flooding allthe landscape
With its golden light.
Hark the sounds of laughter
And of voices shrill!
See the happy children
Coasting down the hill!

There are Tom and Charley,
And their sister Nell;
There are John and Willie,
Kate and Isbel,_________
Eyes with pleasure beaming,
Cheeks with health aglow;
Bless the merry children,
Trudging through the snow!

Now I hear them shouting,
"Ready! Clear the track"!
Down the slope they're rushing,
Now they're trotting back.
Full of fun and frolic,
Thus they come and go,
Coasting down the hillside,
Trudging through the snow.

They're a flickering symbol of summertime, a glowing tribute to warm nights and tall grass. A flashing light that beckons us into the past, deep into soft memories of summer and simplicities.

A blink of nostalgia,elusive as the past, as fleeting as the season. Fireflies - or if you prefer lightningbugs. The best They're here and then gone, lighting the summer night,

The next few nights after 11 if you watch the sky in the dark

perhaps you'll see the meteors as they pass Earth in the skies above - - or a lightningbug - firefly

Health care reform this summer's top Congressional priorty, is already aparticularly complicated
"sausage making" process. Six House and Senate committees each with some jurisdiction, are
seperately preparing their legislation. The, the results will be taken ground up, shoved into new
legislative casing and eventually a bill will emerge - one that key Democrats and the White House hope will pass.
