	Adults only? NBC won't pay for review, so Finland bans 'Little House' for kids	354 giorni fa
	It is the G-est of G-rated TV series in America, but the DVD version of "Little House on the Prairie" has been banned for the children of Finland, Reuters tells us. Reason: NBC's Universal Pictures didn't want to pay state inspectors $2.57 a minute to review and rate the series, which ran from 1974 to 1983. There were 203, 45-minute-long episodes, so that works out to $23,476.95. (Last year, NBC Universal generated $15.4 billion in revenue.) Because Universal would not submit to review, the DVD must now carry a sticker stating "Banned for under-18s." "Such unchecked material should not be shown to children publicly," said Matti Paloheimo, director at the Finnish Board of Film Classification. Source : http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline...

	Recipe's Of Laura Ingalls Wilder	354 giorni fa
	Laura's Snow Candy You will need: 1 cup molasses 1 cup brown sugar Fresh, clean snow (or crushed ice) Measuring cup Large pot Wooden spoon Candy thermometer, or cup filled with cold water Shallow pan, such as a cake pan Clean towel Boil the molasses and sugar together in the large pot until the mixture reaches the "hard crack" stage on a candy thermometer, or until a spoonful dropped into cold water forms a hard ball and cracks. Remove the syrup from the heat. BE VERY CAREFUL. THE SYRUP IS EXTREMELY HOT AT THIS STAGE. Scoop fresh, clean snow (or crushed ice) into the shallow pan. Dip up a spoonful of syrup and dribble it onto the snow in "circles, and curlicues, and squiggledy things" as Laura and Mary did. It will harden and become candy. Lift the candy off the snow and onto a clean towel to dry. _______________________________________  ____________________________ Laura's Gingerbread 1 cup brown sugar blended with 1/2 cup lard or other shortening. 1 cup molasses mixed well with this. 2 teaspoons baking soda in 1 cup boiling water (Be sure cup is full of water after foam is run off into cake mixture). Mix all well. To 3 cups of flour have added one teaspoon each of the following spices: ginger, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, cloves and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sift all into cake mixture and mix well. Add lastly 2 well-beaten eggs. The mixture should be quite thin. Bake in a moderate oven for thirty minutes. Raisins and, or, candied fruit may be added and a chocolate frosting adds to the goodness. _______________________________________  _______________________ Laura's Town Party Lemonade You will need: 2/3 cup sugar 1 cup water 3 large lemons 3 cups cold water Ice 2-cup measuring cup Long-handled spoon Sharp knife Juicer (and, if juicer is slotted, a bowl to set it on) Pitcher 6 glasses Add the water to the sugar in the measuring cup; stir to dissolve. Set aside. Roll the lemons on the counter with your palm a few times to make them juicier. Cut the lemons in half. Set the juicer over the bowl and squeeze as much of the juice out of the lemons as you can. If you have the kind of juicer with its own catch basin, be sure to remove any seeds. Pour the juice into the pitcher. Stir the sugar water into the lemon juice, then add the cold water and stir. Taste the lemonade to see if it is sweet enough. Pour the lemonade over ice in six tall glasses to serve. _______________________________________  _________________________ Laura's County Fair Custard Pie You will need: 4 eggs ½ cup sugar ¼ teaspoon salt 1½ teaspoons vanilla 2½ cups milk, scalded (heated almost to boiling) Measuring cup and spoons Medium-sized bowl Eggbeater or whisk Wire rack I unbaked 9" pie shell in a pie tin Nutmeg Preheat the oven to 475º. Break the eggs into the bowl and beat them lightly. Mix in the sugar, salt, and vanilla. Slowly stir in the scalded milk. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Put the pie into the oven and bake it for 5 minutes at 475º. Turn the heat down to 425º and continue baking for about 12 more minutes, or until a knife stuck into the center comes out clean. Take the pie out of the oven and cool it on the wire rack. If you are not going to eat the pie right away, put it in the refrigerator to chill. Store any leftover pieces in the refrigerator. (But if you like this pie as much as Almanzo did, you may not have any left!) _______________________________________  _____________________________ Laura's Hailstone Ice Cream You will need: 1 quart heavy cream 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 gallon ice cubes Rock salt Measuring cup and spoons Mixing bowl Eggbeater or whisk Large jar with a lid Large pot or bowl (this must be deeper than the jar, and at least 6" larger in diameter) Whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Add sugar and vanilla. Pour mixture into the jar, leaving at least 2-3" of air space for expansion after the mixture freezes. Put the lid on the jar and make sure it is tightly closed. Set the container into the pot or bowl and place ice cubes around it about halfway up. Sprinkle a layer of rock salt on top of the ice. Add more ice to within an inch of the top of the container. Sprinkle another layer of salt on top. Twist the inner container back and forth, keeping the mixture moving as it freezes. You can rest for a few minutes at a time and then twist some more. Pour off the water as the ice melts, and add more ice to keep it high. Check the mixture after half an hour to see if it is thick enough to be ice cream. Spoon into dishes and serve. _______________________________________  _____________________________ If you enjoy these recipes we recommend you purchase the Little House cookbook for more Ingalls family recipes.

She resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Bruce Boxleitner. Melissa Gilbert said "I am writing this book to share the story of my life. Simply put, I have been very blessed but I have also been through difficult struggles and painful tragedies. My hope is that people with similar life experiences will find comfort in my story by realizing they are not alone." Jennifer Bergstrom, Vice President and Publisher of SSE, said "Melissa Gilbert is funny, down-to-earth, and has an entertaining and inspiring tale to tell. Most importantly, it will be told with Melissa's great humor and warmth. I adore her and think readers will too." Jennifer Bergstrom at SSE negotiated the deal with Dan Strone, CEO of Trident Media Group, which includes world rights. The book is scheduled for publication in Spring 2009.

Gilbert has made a few feature film appearances, but the majority of her work has been in television. She most often opted for roles as suffering, historically significant teenagers, such as in The Miracle Worker in 1979, The Diary of Anne Frank in 1980, and Splendor in the Grass in 1981. She remained prolific and eventually graduated to adult roles, including Choices in 1986 and A Family of Strangers in 1993. In addition, there were a few failed series attempts, such as Little House: A New Beginning in 1982, Stand By Your Man in 1992, and Sweet Justice in 1994. In 2001, Gilbert was voted in as president of the Screen Actors Guild, winning a second two-year term in 2003. During her teen years, Gilbert dated actors Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe. In 1988, she married actor and producer Bo Brinkman. They had one son, Dakota Paul (Cody), and later divorced. In 1995, she married actor Bruce Boxleitner.

She also revealed that the attacker was apprehended, but the courts were unable to prepare charges as the statute of limitations had run out. Alison's father, Thor Arngrim, was a well-known Hollywood manager. Her mother, Norma MacMillan, was a well-known voice actress, who provided the voices for characters on Casper the Friendly Ghost, Gumby, Davey and Goliath, and many other beloved animated programs. Her brother Stefan Arngrim was also a child actor. Alison married Robert Paul Schoonover, a musician on November 6, 1993. They live in Los Angeles. Alison tied with Danielle Spencer ('Dee' on What's Happening!!) for "Character Most in Need of a Time-out" award on the 2006 TV Land Awards for her role on Little House on The Prairie. In one of her stand-up routines, she described playing Nellie on Little House on The Prairie as "Like having PMS for seven years."

Allen Radford, and later Dr. Scott T. Sutherland in 1991. After the series ended, she moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where she remained active in theater.

She left the series in 1982, and she continued her acting in television shows, such as The Equalizer, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and Murder, She Wrote. She has been described as mild mannered and unpretentious, not unlike her Mary Ingalls character. Her first known romance was with actor Lorenzo Lamas, with whom she made an appearance in the film series The Love Boat in which two friends (Lorenzo and Melissa) resist the matchmaking efforts of their parents. After this short romance, she dated Frank Sinatra, Jr., who at the time was more than twice her age. She says, "It was fun, but never really wild. That's just not me." She won an Emmy Award for her performance in Which Mother Is Mine?, an ABC Afternoon Special (1979).

She currently lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wendi and Brenda Turnbaugh ("Baby" Grace Ingalls) After "Little House on the Prairie" the twins appeared in one commercial. The twins are both married, but still live very close to each other. Also, please visit their website at http://www.wendiandbrenda.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Allison Balson (Nancy Oleson) Please visit her website at http://www.allisonbalson.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Linwood Boomer (Adam Kendall) Linwood's first behind-the-scenes work was as writer and producer on the NBC series "Silver Spoons" (1985-86) and "Night Court" (1986-8 . After developing an adaptation of the popular British sci-fi comedy "Red Dwarf" for American television that disappointingly didn't get past the pilot stage, Boomer moved on to the relatively short-lived sitcoms "Flying Blind" (Fox, 1992-93) and "The Boys Are Back" (CBS, 1994-95), writing episodes for both and serving as executive consultant of the former and co-executive producer of the latter. In 1996 he was one of the executive producers of the hit NBC sitcom "3rd Rock From the Sun" and the failed ABC entry "Townies". While he also served in the same capacity for the edgy but controversial animated series "God, the Devil and Bob" (NBC, 2000), he found immediate success with the envelope-pushing Fox family comedy "Malcolm in the Middle" (2000- ). A mid season replacement, "Malcolm" quickly won an audience with its boldly realistic yet off-kilter comedy focused on a struggling middle-class family of six: high-strung disciplinarian mother Lois (Jane Kaczmarek); dim but well-meaning father Hal (Bryan Cranston); smart aleck eldest son Francis (Christopher Masterson) consigned to military school; bullying second-eldest son Reese (Justin Berfield), reluctant boy genius Malcolm (Frankie Muniz); and just plain weird youngest child Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan). The series steered clear of the traditional sitcom trappings as it was shot in a single-camera style, with no laugh track and with frequent fourth wall-breaking commentary by the title hero. "Malcolm in the Middle" set itself apart from its competitors with a fresh and consistently funny perspective and the remarkable performances by the entire cast. Perhaps this was in part because the show was loosely autobiographical for Boomer. Linwood continues to work behind the scenes on several tv show projects. He resides in Los Angeles. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patrick Labyorteaux (Andy Garvey) his well known TV roles are on the hit NBC series Little House on the Prairie as Andrew 'Andy' Garvey from 1977-1981, and on the CBS hit series JAG as Lt. Cmdr. Bud Roberts from 1995-2005. Near the end of the series Patrick Labyorteaux's character lost his leg, leading to speculation that the actor had in fact lost his leg, but the show's spokesperson, Diane Ekeblad, stated, “I’m happy to report Patrick Labyorteaux has not suffered any injury regarding his leg. He’s just a very good actor,”[1] Patrick has starred in films; one of his well known roles is in the 1987 comedy film Summer School as football player Kevin Winchester. He also appeared in the 1989 cult film Heathers as mean jock Ram Sweeney. Patrick has also done voices for cartoons like Spider-Man: The Animated Series and others. Patrick is the brother of actor Matthew Laborteaux and actress Jane Laborteaux, and the son of Frances Marshall Laborteaux. Patrick is married to actress Tina Albanese and they have a son together. Some of the TV shows on which he has made guest appearances include Starsky and Hutch, 21 Jump Street, Living Single and Yes, Dear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Radames Pera (John Sanderson Edwards) Visit his website at http://www.radamespera.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hersha Parady (Alice Garvey) After "Little House on the Prairie" she had rare appeareances in television, for example in Kenan & Kel. Parady is also an actress in theatre. She was once married to producer John Peverall and has one child from him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bonnie Bartlett (Grace Snider Edwards) Her acting career picked up considerably in the 1980s, including the miniseries V (TV series) and North and South: Part II. Bartlett and husband William Daniels made Emmy Awards history in 1986 when they became the first real-life couple to win acting awards on the same night. They won for their portrayals of Dr. Mark and Mrs. Ellen Craig on the TV series St. Elsewhere. They later acted together again when she played a college dean in a season of Daniels' ABC series, Boy Meets World. When St. Elsewhere ended in 1988, Bartlett's career moved to a wide variety of guest-starring appearances, including major roles on Wiseguy as a tough and corrupt matriarch of a sewage business, as Andrea Drey; Secretary General of the United Earth Oceans Organization (UEO) on seaQuest DSV, on Home Improvement as Lucille Taylor(Tim "The Tool-Man" Taylor's mother), and on ER (TV series) as Ruth Katherine Greene (Dr. Mark Greene's mother). In the fall of 2000, she was an honoree at Moline High School in Moline, Illinois. Her plaque sits in a viewing window in the auditorium lobby at the school. Bartlett is an active member of Screen Actors Guild and currently serves on its National Board of Directors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jason Bateman (James Cooper Ingalls) Bateman began acting in 1981, playing James Cooper Ingalls in the television drama, Little House on the Prairie. He earned the status of teen idol in the mid-1980s in shows such as Silver Spoons, It's Your Move and The Hogan Family, and became the Directors Guild of America's youngest-ever director when he directed three episodes of The Hogan Family at the age of 18. After the series ended its run, his career slowed down for nearly a decade. During this period, he had major roles on four series — Simon, Chicago Sons, George & Leo and Some of My Best Friends — none of which lasted for longer than one season. In 2002, he landed the role as the frisky sibling of Thomas Jane's engaged character in the feature film The Sweetest Thing, and in 2003 his career made a major comeback with the role of Michael Bluth on the FOX television comedy Arrested Development. More recently, he has appeared in Dodgeball as ESPN 8 ("The Ocho") commentator "Pepper Brooks", and in Starsky & Hutch as "Reese Feldman", Vince Vaughn's business partner. Bateman reunited with Vaughn in 2006's The Break-Up, and also did commentary on the 2004 Democratic National Convention for The Majority Report with Arrested Development co-star David Cross.
