I Dream of Jeannie is an American fantasy sitcom television series, created by Sidney Sheldon, starring Barbara Eden as a sultry, 2,000-year-old genie and Larry Hagman, as an astronaut with whom she falls in love and eventually marries. Produced by Screen Gems, the show originally aired for 139 episodes over five seasons, from September 18, 1965, to May 26, 1970, on NBC.

In the pilot episode, “The Lady in the Bottle“, astronaut Captain Tony Nelson, United States Air Force, is on a space flight when his one-man capsule Stardust One comes down far from the planned recovery area, near a deserted island in the South Pacific. On the beach, Tony notices a strange bottle that rolls by itself. When he rubs it after removing the stopper, smoke starts shooting out and a Persian-speaking female genie materializes and kisses Tony on the lips, shocking him.

They cannot understand each other until Tony expresses his wish that Jeannie (a homophone of genie) could speak English, which she then does. Then, per his instructions, she “blinks” and causes a recovery helicopter to show up to rescue Tony, who is so grateful, he tells her she is free, but Jeannie, who has fallen in love with Tony at first sight after being trapped for 2,000 years, re-enters her bottle and rolls it into Tony’s duffel bag so she can accompany him back home. One of the first things Jeannie does, in a subsequent episode, is break up Tony’s engagement to his commanding general’s daughter, Melissa, who, along with that particular general, is never seen or mentioned again. Producer Sidney Sheldon realized the romantic triangle between Jeannie, Tony, and Melissa would not pan out in the long run.

Tony at first keeps Jeannie in her bottle most of the time, but he finally relents and allows her to enjoy a life of her own. However, her life is devoted mostly to his, and most of their existential problems stem from her love for him and her often-misguided efforts to please him, even when he does not want her assistance. His efforts to cover up Jeannie’s antics, because of his fear that he would be dismissed from the space program if her existence were known, brings him to the attention of NASA’s resident psychiatrist, U.S. Air Force Colonel Dr. Alfred Bellows. In a running gag, Dr. Bellows tries over and over to prove to his superiors that Tony is either crazy or hiding something, but he is always foiled (“He’s done it to me again!”) and Tony’s job remains secure. A frequently used plot device is that Jeannie loses her powers when she is confined in a closed space. She is unable to leave her bottle when it is corked, and under certain circumstances, the next person who removes the cork becomes her new master. A multiple-episode story arc involves Jeannie (in miniature) becoming trapped in a safe when it is accidentally locked.

Tony’s best friend and fellow astronaut, United States Army Corps of Engineers Captain Roger Healey, does not know about Jeannie’s magic for the first 16 episodes, although they meet in episode 12. When Roger finds out she is a genie, he steals her bottle, temporarily becoming her master. Roger is often shown as girl-crazy or scheming to make a quick buck. He occasionally has hopes of claiming Jeannie so he can use her to have a lavish lifestyle or gain beautiful girlfriends, but overall he is respectful that Tony is Jeannie’s master. Both Tony and Roger are promoted to the rank of major late in the first season. In later seasons, Roger’s role is retconned to portray him knowing about Jeannie from the beginning (i.e., to him having been with Tony on the space flight that touched down, and thus having seen Jeannie introduce herself to Tony).

Jeannie’s evil fraternal twin sister, mentioned in a second-season episode (also named Jeannie – since, as Barbara Eden’s character explains it, all female genies are named Jeannie — and also portrayed by Barbara Eden, in a brunette wig), proves to have a mean streak starting in the third season (as in her initial appearance in “Jeannie or the Tiger?”), repeatedly trying to steal Tony for herself, with her as the real “master”. Her final attempt in the series comes shortly after Tony and Jeannie are married, with a ploy involving a man played by Barbara Eden’s real-life husband at the time, Michael Ansara (in a kind of in-joke, while Jeannie’s sister pretends to be attracted to him, she privately scoffs at him). The evil sister wears a green costume, with a skirt rather than pantaloons.

Early in the fifth season, Jeannie is called upon by her uncle Sully (Jackie Coogan) to become queen of their family’s native country, Basenji. Tony inadvertently gives grave offense to Basenji national pride in their feud with neighboring Kasja. To regain favor, Tony is required by Sully to marry Jeannie and to avenge Basenji’s honor by killing the ambassador from Kasja when he visits NASA. After Sully puts Tony through an ordeal of nearly killing the ambassador, Tony responds in a fit of anger that he is fed up with Sully and his cohorts and he would not marry Jeannie even if she were “the last genie on earth”. Hearing this, Jeannie bitterly leaves Tony and returns to Basenji. With Jeannie gone, Tony realizes how deeply he loves her. He flies to Basenji to win Jeannie back. Upon their return, Tony introduces Jeannie as his fiancée. She dresses as a modern American woman in public. This changed the show’s premise: hiding Jeannie’s magical abilities rather than her existence. This, however, contradicts what is revealed in “The Birds and Bees Bit”, in which it is claimed that upon marriage a genie loses all of her magical powers.

Milkshakes – the Quest


Katie's avatarPages from my Crazy Life

milkshakes-800x800-1

Lately Paddy and I have been on a quest to find the best milkshake in our area. It is a craving we can’t describe – but in the depth of winter, we love to have ice cream – and right now, we are sampling milkshakes in lots of different places. Usually it is a chocolate shake – but occasionally we throw in a strawberry one. Pat had a vanilla milkshake once but decided that was a waste of time since it was so ‘blah’ – that is his technical term. We have tested small local shops as well as chains – and not just the same franchise of a chain – but different locations because strange as it may sound – they all make them differently!

Of course, throughout this quest we have to try to not get so big we can’t get in the car to go on our…

Lost Springs


Lost Springs is a town in Converse CountyWyoming, United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 4.

Lost Springs was first inhabited in the 1880s, when it received its name from railroad workers who could not find the springs shown on survey maps of the area. The town was incorporated in 1911, and it originally had 200 residents, most of whom worked at the nearby Rosin coal mine. After the coal mine closed around 1930, the population of Lost Springs steadily declined.

Edward John Sanmann of York, Nebraska, and his wife, Lauretta Mae (Rogers) of Bloomington, Nebraska, moved to Lost Springs in 1948 where they lived and worked in the general store and assisted with running the town’s post office. Sanmann was a member of the American Sunday School Union and Bible Class at Shawnee. The couple had a daughter who died in infancy, Virginia Arlene, and an adopted daughter, Louise Marie. Sanmann and his wife died 17 days apart in September 1967.

By 1960, the population of the town had dropped to five. In 1976, both the state of Wyoming and the U.S. Bicentennial Commission designated Lost Springs as the smallest incorporated town in America; its population was then eleven.

In 1983, Lost Springs became involved in a court battle with the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company. The railroad, which ran adjacent to the town, attempted to seize 5.2 acres (2.1 ha) of land to build a 22-foot (6.7 m) railway embankment. Lost Springs Mayor Leda Price alleged that the embankment, which would lie between the town and U.S. Highways 18 and 20, would separate the town from traffic on the highway. A Wyoming district judge ruled in the town’s favor, and the railroad ultimately agreed to build an unobstructing track bed and use its own land for track.

As of the censusof 2010, there were 4 people, 3 households, and 0 families residing in the town. The population density was 44.4 inhabitants per square mile (17.1/km2). There were 3 housing units at an average density of 33.3 per square mile (12.9/km2). The racial makeup of the town was 100.0% White.

There were 3 households, of which 100.0% were non-families. 66.7% of all households were made up of individuals. The average household size was 1.33.

The median age in the town was 59.5 years. 100% of residents were between the ages of 45 to 64. The gender makeup of the town was 50.0% male and 50.0% female.

For the 2000 census, only one person resided in Lost Springs, Wyoming. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town is one of only four places in the United States to have a population of one person. Since 2000, the population of Monowi, Nebraska also fell to one. However, Lost Springs mayor Leda Price claims the census was inaccurate, and that Lost Springs had four residents in 2000. The population reached five by 2002.By 2009, the population had dropped to three.According to the 2010 Census, the population was four.

There is no public education in Lost Springs because there are no children in Lost Springs. If the need arose for public education it would be provided by Converse County School District

Benny Hill


Alfred Hawthorne “Benny” Hill (21 January 1924 – 20 April 1992) was an English actor, comedian, singer and writer. He is remembered for his television programme The Benny Hill Show, an amalgam of slapstick, burlesque and double entendre in a format that included live comedy and filmed segments, with Hill at the focus of almost every segment.

Hill was a prominent figure in British culture for nearly four decades. His show proved to be one of the great success stories of television comedy and was among the most-watched programmes in the UK, with the audience peaking at more than 21 million in 1971. The Benny Hill Show was also exported to half the countries around the world. He received a BAFTA Television Award for Best Writer, a Rose d’Or, and was nominated for the BAFTA for Best Entertainment Performance and two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Variety. In 2006, Hill was voted by the British public number 17 in ITV’s poll of TV’s 50 Greatest Stars.

Outside of television, Hill starred in films including the Ealing comedy Who Done It? (1956), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) and The Italian Job (1969). His comedy song “Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West)” was 1971’s Christmas number one on the UK Singles Chart, and he received an Ivor Novello Award from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors in 1972.

Home free


Home Free is an American country a cappella group of five vocalists, Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured around 200 shows a year across the United States.

 The group competed in and won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013. They sang an arrangement of Hunter Hayes’s “I Want Crazy” as their final competitive song, earning the group $100,000 and a recording contract with Sony.

Home Free released their first album under a major label, Crazy Life, on February 18, 2014. Their most recent album, Land of the Free, was released in June 2021.

Home Free : Make you feel my love

HOME FREE How great you are ( amaizing mountains)

The group Home Free was originally formed in January 2001 by Chris Rupp in Mankato, Minnesota, when some of its members were still in their teens. The five founding members were brothers Chris and Adam Rupp, Matt Atwood, Darren Scruggs, and Dan Lemke; taking their name from a boat owned by Atwood’s grandfather who helped support the group financially in the early years. The group began as a hobby for the singers, but they gradually gained in experience and popularity. By 2007 they had enough of a following to pursue music full-time. During this period, the Rupp brothers and Atwood formed the core of the group, with Atwood singing lead tenor. Other members of the group came and went. Current member Rob Lundquist, another Minnesotan, joined in 2008.

HOME FREE Christmas

For much of the group’s history they worked with many talented bass singers, but did not have a full-time committed bass voice. In 2007 Chris Foss sang with them. Elliott Robinson was added as bass in September 2008, and was replaced in June 2009 by Troy Horne. Later that year, Horne left to rejoin The House Jacks. To replace Horne they turned to Tim Foust, who first sang with them as a guest on their 2010 tour. A Texas native, Foust was then pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter of country music and had recently released a solo album, but was not ready to sign on full-time. Matthew Tuey sang with the group in the interim of 2011, until Foust joined them full-time in January 2012.

Home Free Hillbilly

In 2012, Austin Brown was working on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship as a featured singer in their production shows. When Home Free joined the cruise as a guest performing group, they met and became close. Brown, who was born in Tifton, Georgia, let Home Free know that he would be interested in joining the group if they ever had an opening. At the end of 2012 lead singer Matt Atwood and his wife, who had married the previous year, were expecting their first child. Finding the group’s touring schedule incompatible with family life, and having an opportunity to take over his family’s real estate business in Mankato, Atwood made the decision to retire from the group. Home Free then invited Brown to join as lead tenor. He sang his first show with the group in October 2012, and became full-time in January 2013. In 2015 they made a guest appearance on Kenny Rogers’s holiday album Once Again It’s Christmas on the track “Children Go Where I Send Thee”; a music video was released in November 2015.

Home Land of Free

On March 18, 2016 it was announced that, after sixteen years performing with the group, co-founder Chris Rupp would be leaving to pursue a solo career. He would be replaced after May 8 by Adam Chance, formerly of Street Corner Symphony.

All five of Home Free’s singers have formal musical training. Lundquist and the Rupp brothers all have bachelor’s degrees in music. Adam Rupp’s primary instrument is trumpet, but he also plays drums, keyboard, and bass guitar. Since joining, Foust and Brown have also become very active in writing and arranging.

Home free My church

In terms of musical roles, Home Free personnel includes a lead tenor, a high tenor, a baritone, a bass, and a beatboxer. The High tenor, who often fronts the group, is Austin Brown who sings in the register of a high tenor. Traditional tenor harmony is sung by Rob Lundquist, baritone harmony is sung by Adam Chance, and Tim Foust sings bass with the range of a basso profundo. Occasionally, the latter two switch roles in their singing voice. In addition to the four voices, percussion sounds are provided by beatboxer Adam Rupp. All of the singers occasionally sing solos supported by the harmonies of the other singers.

Home Free’s styling as a country group is relatively recent. Before Foust joined the group, Home Free was an all-purpose a cappella group, singing in a wide variety of styles, of which country was only a minor one. With the additions of Foust and Brown, the group moved more in the direction of country and found that audiences responded well to it. Home Free had auditioned three times for The Sing-Off (without Foust and Brown) and not been accepted. When auditioning for the fourth season, they made a conscious decision to style themselves as a country group. In an interview Brown said this identity is what grabbed the attention of The Sing-Off’s casting director, who said, “You guys really fit something we don’t have.”

Lithuania  officially the Republic of Lithuania  is a country in the Baltic region of Europe. It is one of three Baltic states and lies on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea.

Lithuania shares land borders with Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia to the southwest. Lithuania covers an area of 65,300 km2 (25,200 sq mi), with a population of 2.8 million. Its capital and largest city is Vilnius; other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians belong to the ethno-linguistic group of the Balts and speak Lithuanian, one of only a few living Baltic languages.

Lithuania is a developed country, with a high income advanced economy; ranking very high in the Human Development Index. It ranks favourably in terms of civil liberties, press freedom, internet freedom, democratic governance, and peacefulness. Lithuania is a member of the European Union, the Council of Europe, eurozone, the Nordic Investment Bank, Schengen Agreement, NATO and OECD. It participates in the Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8) regional co-operation format.

For millennia the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea were inhabited by various Baltic tribes. In the 1230s, Lithuanian lands were united by Mindaugas, founding the Kingdom of Lithuania on 6 July 1253. In the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe; present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were all lands of the Grand Duchy. The Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were in a de facto personal union from 1386 with the marriage of the Polish queen Hedwig and Lithuania’s Grand Duke Jogaila, who was crowned King jure uxoris Władysław II Jagiełło of Poland. The Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania was established by the Union of Lublin in July 1569. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighbouring countries dismantled it in 1772–1795, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania’s territory. As World War I ended, Lithuania’s Act of Independence was signed on 16 February 1918, founding the modern Republic of Lithuania. In World War II, Lithuania was occupied first by the Soviet Union and then by Nazi Germany. Towards the end of the war in 1944, when the Germans were retreating, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. Lithuanian armed resistance to the Soviet occupation lasted until the early 1950s. On 11 March 1990, a year before the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania passed the Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania, becoming the first Soviet republic to proclaim its independence.

DAVE


Dave, nom de scène de Wouter Otto Levenbach, né le 4 mai 1944 à Amsterdam, est un chanteur néerlandais. Il commence sa carrière en 1963 et connaît le succès dans les années 1970 avec des chansons francophones comme Vanina et Du côté de chez Swann. Il se consacre plus nettement ces dernières années à la présentation ou à l’animation d’émissions de télévision, principalement en France.

Dave : Vanina

Wouter Otto Levenbach apprend à 14 ans à jouer de la guitare et du piano avec sa mère. Il est alors très influencé musicalement par les Everly Brothers. Il n’a pas d’idole mais aime écouter Gene Pitney et Roy Orbison. Au même âge, il obtient son premier boulot d’été et travaille dans une imprimerie non loin de sa ville d’Amsterdam. Sa mission est de fabriquer des pochettes plastiques destinées à protéger des albums 33 tours.

À 16 ans, il envisage de faire des études de théologie. Il entame des études de droit pour être celui qu’on écoute.

Dave : Laura mon coeur est malade

Bien qu’étudiant, il choisit en 1965 à 21 ans de ne pas s’engager dans la vague « provo » (équivalent néerlandais de Mai 68). Passionné par la mer et les rivières (il tient cela de son grand-père), il quitte les Pays-Bas, à l’automne, par les canaux et atteint Marseille en France, sur un bateau à fond plat, avec 1 000 florins en poche (de quoi vivre à peu près deux mois).

Outre le néerlandais, il parle couramment le français, l’anglais, l’italien et l’allemand.

Deux ans auparavant, en 1963, à 19 ans, il enregistre à Londres au Royaume-Uni son tout premier 45 tours. Il sera commercialisé en 1964, uniquement aux Pays-Bas avec pour nom de scène Dave Rich, qu’il raccourcira plus tard en Dave. Il démarre au Boucanier de Lydie Bastien au 11 rue Jules-Chaplain dans le quartier Notre-Dame-des-Champs, à Paris, en France.

En 1968, il commence sa carrière grâce à Eddie Barclay qu’il vient de rencontrer à Saint-Tropez (Var).

En 1969, il participe à la sélection néerlandaise pour le Concours Eurovision de la chanson. Sa chanson Niets Gaat Zo Snel (qu’on pourrait traduire par Rien ne va aussi vite), termine troisième sur dix candidats. La même année, il rencontre Mick Micheyl, avec qui il écrira Le long des quais, et représente les Pays-Bas à la Coupe d’Europe du tour de chant.

Dave

En 1971, il participe à la comédie musicale Godspell qui connaîtra un franc succès jusqu’en 1974. C’est là qu’il fait notamment la connaissance de Daniel Auteuil qui devient son meilleur ami. Parallèlement, il se produit dans de nombreux cabarets parisiens, notamment Chez ma Cousine, sous l’impulsion de son propriétaire d’alors, le chanteur François Deguelt qui croit en son talent

C’est en 1974 qu’il sort Trop beau, reprise du tube Sugar Baby Love des Rubettes, puis Vanina (plus d’un million de 45 tours vendus) adaptée par Patrick Loiseau du Runaway de Del Shannon, il devient alors célèbre dans différents pays francophones et en France.

En 1975 sortent Mon cœur est malade puis Dansez maintenant. Son premier album est publié à la fin de cette même année, en même temps que Du côté de chez Swann.

Dave : Dansez maintenant

En 1978, sa Lettre à Hélène est un nouveau succès tout comme Comment ne pas être amoureux de vous. En 1979, il sort Allô Elisa : Maritie et Gilbert Carpentier lui consacrent un grand Numéro Un.

En 1980, Dave fait ses débuts au cinéma où il joue son propre rôle dans L’Esprit de famille de Jean-Pierre Blanc, dont il signe la musique. En 1982, il réitère l’expérience pour la télévision dans le feuilleton en 6 épisodes Dickie-Roi, d’après le roman de Françoise Mallet-Joris.

En 1993 sort un nouvel album du chanteur éponyme. Puis en 1994, il fait son retour, amorcé par le succès de sa compilation sortie en 1994 (plus de 200 000 ventes). Il peut alors enregistrer un nouvel album inédit intitulé Toujours le même bleu ; le single extrait de cet album lui permet de renouer avec les hit-parades. Dès cette époque-là, il ne fait plus secret de sa bisexualité.

En 1994, il fait un caméo dans La Cité de la peur, le film des Nuls.

En 1996, il tourne une publicité pour le fromage de son pays, les Pays-Bas (“Il paraît que Dave n’aime pas les dames” / “Dave aime l’édam”). Dans la première année de l’émission française, Salut les Chouchous sur TF1, il devient animateur de télé aux côtés de Sheila, puis seul l’année suivante.

À la demande des éditions Lattès, il sort une autobiographie intitulée Du côté de chez moi suivie d’un album Dave classique, réalisation d’un de ses vieux rêves : enregistrer quelques-uns des grands thèmes de la musique classique.

En 2003, il sort un livre Soit dit en passant… mes années paillettes5, sur la vie d’une vedette de variétés dans les années 1970. L’auteur y évoque l’époque des succès tels que Du côté de chez Swann ou Vanina, mais aussi son brusque déclin au début des années 1980 puis son retour, notamment sur les plateaux de télé. Il y révèle également l’histoire d’amour qui l’unit depuis plus de trente ans à son parolier et compagnon Patrick Loiseau, lequel intervient également dans l’ouvrage pour apporter sa vision des faits. Au cours de cette même année, il participe à l’Olympia à la Rose d’Or 2003 aux côtés de Nicole Croisille et d’Esther Galil.

Le 30 juillet 2009 sur Arte, il participe à une rétrospective des années 1980 appelée Nighting eighties au cours de laquelle il reprend des chansons de Eurythmics (Sweet dreams) et A-ha (Take on me) avec des arrangements d’Albin de la Simone.

En 2010, Dave participe à la nouvelle campagne de Old Dutch Master, les fromages hollandais. Dans une série de spots publicitaires, Dave joue finement avec le vieux maître hollandais.

Le 6 avril 2010, il se produit à l’Olympia à Paris.

En 2010, il devient l’un des jurés de l’émission de télé-crochet La France a un incroyable talent sur M6 aux côtés de Gilbert Rozon et de Sophie Edelstein.

En 2011, il fait à nouveau partie du jury de Incroyable talent, apparaît en guest-star du clip Coming out du groupe les Fatals Picards, et un nouvel album intitulé Blue-eyed Soul sort en fin novembre 2011. Dave y reprend ses plus grands succès, réorchestrés dans le style soul des labels Motown et Stax.

Fin 2011 – début 2012, il anime avec Sandrine Corman la série d’émissions Les années 80 : le retourLes années 90 : le retour et Les années 2000 : le retour sur M6.
