Basketball lions terminate schroder discoverer liviu calin
This dispute comes as a surprise – all the more so in its vehemence. The Braunschweig Basketball Lions have celebrated their co-coach Liviu Calin's 15. September canceled. The discoverer and trainer of NBA stars Dennis Schroder and Daniel Theis is fighting back in court. Yesterday, a conciliation hearing was held at the Braunschweig Labor Court, the first step in proceedings to protect against dismissal.
But the meeting, chaired by the chairman of the 7. Chamber, Judge Patrick Poltorak, was already finished after two minutes. Both parties – Managing Director Sebastian Schmidt as a representative of the Lions and Liviu Calin along with their lawyers were present – did not want to say anything in the public meeting, will comment in writing in the course of the proceedings. The judge read out only this much: Calin justified his action against the termination with the fact that, among other things, there was no approval from the Lowen Supervisory Board, and in addition, the notice period had not been observed.
Judge Poltorak then set a chamber date for the end of the year. Until then, both parties can still reach an out-of-court agreement at any time.
At the heart of the dispute is probably serious disagreement over the promotion of young talent. It was just over a year ago that the Lions had promoted Calin. In addition to his duties as assistant and individual coach of the first division club, he was once again appointed head of the youth area and was supposed to reintroduce professional structures there – a task for which he had come to Braunschweig from Romania 27 years ago.
Because his protege, NBA pro Dennis Schroder, joined the Lowen as a shareholder in 2018 and supported the project, Calin showed new motivation despite the Lowen's downsized junior division in recent years. But things did not really progress. According to information from our newspaper, there were, among other things, disagreements with coaches.
Meanwhile, Braunschweig has fallen to last place in the rankings of Bundesliga locations when it comes to youth work, something Calin had vehemently lamented. The lions have to come up with something. Petra Lagerpusch is involved in the project as chairwoman of the Dennis Schroder Academy, formerly Leistungszentrum Basketball Braunschweig, and she sheds some light on the matter. "We as an academy are to take over the entire youth area from them at the request of the lions, NBBL and JBBL including the coaches against the payment of a certain sum," she reports.
When they learned of the plan, Liviu Calin as sporting director of the academy or LBB since the early 1990s, namesake and sponsor Dennis Schroder and his brother Che as his representative had already been inaugurated and agreed in principle.
"That's what we had always envisioned as a link between popular and competitive sports," Lagerpusch also says. But the advance of the lions had then come too suddenly. Details would have to be clarified.
Finally, one must also consider whether the legal form of a non-profit association is still adequate or must be changed. "I can imagine everything super well," she says. "But then with an orderly transition to the next season, and if all parties involved, including the SG Braunschweig and the coaches, have sat at the same table beforehand."
National player Dennis Schroder is probably also not cold to the dismissal of his mentor by the Lions, where Schroder is a shareholder and to whose supervisory board he had also already sent Calin as his representative.
"After the World Cup in China, we will make a statement," the NBA star's manager, his brother Che Secka, told our newspaper.

The Day The Kids Invaded EdCamp
EdCamp Palm Springs happened last week. There were some great things that happened, and there were some things that I would want to do differently for next year. One aspect I wouldn't change? Having students be a part of the experience.
Since EdCamp Palm Springs was being held at James Workman Middle School, Jessica Pack had her ASB students show up to help out with the day. Setting up the signage, registering attendees, and greeting people. Oh, and this:
Bringing a herd of MS Students into #ThingsThatSuck definitely shows how polarized some issues can be. #EdCampPS http://t.co/aPXtjIdlHF
— Matt Vaudrey (@MrVaudrey) February 7, 2015
C'mon, you didn't watch that?! Seriously, it's great stuff. Mrs. Pack's students gave a play-by-play introduction of what EdCamp is, how to EdCamp, and even a few tips on having a successful day. We played this on a timed loop to begin the morning.
Not only did the students help set up, but they also helped make the sessions run. They were in the iMovie session, pretty much leading it. They filled a session where a teacher wanted to know hot to use tech without abusing it. They were intense contributors of "Things That Suck".
Many tweets were sent about the learning that happened, and that was great. My favorite, though? The kids.
At the beginning of the morning, we made a decision to give each student a raffle ticket and dropped it into the bag for a few iTunes gift cards. EdCamps are not hubs for winning "stuff", but it's really cool to be surprised when you give up your Saturday. Plus, it's an added "woohoo!!!" for a group of lively middle schoolers. Surprised, we all were.
After giving out over a dozen prizes throughout the day, none of the students had won anything. They worked hard, hustled around the campus, and engaged in genuine conversation. One student finally won a gift card and her face was priceless.
Our big prize at the end of the day was a 64GB iPad mini with a case from Maxcases. Once the smaller prizes were given, everyone's ticket got dumped into one, and one more ticket was drawn. Last 4 digits? 8121. EIGHTY ONE, TWENTY ONE? ANYONE?"
Fortunately, there was a name. "David. David? Is David still here?" Getting ready to pull another name out of the box, a timid young man comes from behind me and apologetically says that the ticket was his. He had accidentally dropped both of his tickets into the bag and felt terrible. "I'm sorry, but it was an accident. I didn't win. Please draw another name."
Now here's the conundrum: I told the students that they were only eligible for the iTunes Gift Cards. However, it would have been impossible for me to discern between their tickets and the rest of the teacher tickets. Now, everyone's looking at me and what I do.
"Whadda ya think, everyone? David here put an extra ticket into the bag by accident."
(audience full of teachers is all positive)
I look over to a couple of the EdCamp Palm Springs organizers and all I needed was the head nod. They granted it.
"Look, folks. These kids have worked their tails off. They've added to the conversation and made our day that much better. David, get up here and take your new iPad!"
Without a doubt, this was the best moment of my week.
Chalk one up to good karma for EdCamp.

About Family Tree
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, the average person covered by Medicare has out-of-pocket medical expenses in excess of $5,500 a year. Premium costs accounted for 28% of the total, while long-term facility costs, medical supplies, prescription drugs, and dental care claim the rest.¹
With healthcare expenses in the spotlight, it's incumbent upon us to make sure our retirement strategy anticipates these costs.
But that's not enough.
Remember, healthcare coverage (including Medicare) typically does not cover extended medical care. And it's a prospect we shouldn't overlook.
The Department of Health & Human Services estimates that about 70% of people will need extended care at some point in their lives.²
These annual costs can range widely based on geographic location, from over $63,000 in Oklahoma to nearly $300,000 in Alaska.³ When workers were surveyed, only 16% said they were "very confident" they would have enough money to pay for long-term care in retirement.⁴
Finally, you may want to consider a Medigap policy, which may help cover some of the healthcare costs not covered by Medicare.
Making sure that you are properly insured for your medical costs may help strengthen the foundation of your retirement.

Is it possible to build an efficient and safe building with polyurethane? Next, we talk about polyurethane systems properties in case of fire.
The polyurethane industry tries to contribute to the safety of buildings, not only in terms of insulation but also in their behaviour when there is a fire. According to PU Europe, the safety of a building in case of fire should be measured taking into account all the constructive elements, since analyzing the behaviour of the materials separately can lead to conclusions that don't fit reality.
The reaction against fire of a specific construction product is a poor indicator of the safety of a whole building in case of fire. This can be verified in studies such as the one carried out by ANPE, in which the behaviour of combustible thermal insulation (polyurethane) and non-combustible (glass fibres) products in real scenarios was compared.
The results of this study showed that, although the classification of safety in case of fire was better for the mineral fibre product (A1) compared to the polyurethane product (B-s1, d0), the polyurethane constructive system showed better results in test B (t2).
Contrary to what the classification showed, polyurethane systems remained below the required limit while mineral fibre did not prevent the spread of fire nor the persistence of flames.
The PIRM CLASE 1 polyurethane system has an excellent fire performance thanks to its highly reticulated cyclic structure.
When it comes into contact with the flame, this structure creates a carbonaceous surface mesh that protects the interior of the insulation and prevents its inflammation. The protection process stops automatically when the panel is no longer exposed to fire.
In this way, the interior of the polyurethane system as well as the building remain protected, while the insulation properties are not lost.
Would you like to watch the three videos of the tests comparing the reaction to fire of polyurethane and mineral fibre? Download them now.


I once had this shoot that needed so much strawberries that after it, I had to freeze them because I knew they would rot before we would consume all of it. Freezing strawberries is relatively easy. What I did was wash them, dried them, and put them in a freezer ziploc bag and tossed it in the freezer. I would usually get 2-3 to eat with some cream until it got pretty tiring and I wanted a different flavor.
There was this one night that I craved for a banana shake, so I was about to mix all the ingredients together in a blender until I realized, why not take this a step further with some strawberries? This is a nice and healthy way to get some fruits in your diet.
I don't really add much ice to drinks unless I want to extend them or if it's a really hot day.
1. Blend everything together in your blender until smooth.
2. Serve and enjoy immediately.

My Q & A

I've been looking for a list of all James Bond movies in chronological order myself more than once in the past, so when I eventually found the information I figured I'll make it a little easier for others to find as well by posting a chronological list here.
The first Bond movie, Dr. No, premiered on October 5th, 1962.
The release of the most recent Bond movie, 'No time to die', was originally scheduled for March 31st, 2020, but got postponed a couple of times because of the coronavirus/COVID-19, and it was eventually released on September 28th 2021.
In the past 60 years, a total of 27 James Bond films has been made:
Dr. No 1962 Sean Connery
From Russia with Love 1963
Goldfinger 1964
Thunderball 1965
Casino Royale 1967 David Niven
You Only Live Twice 1967 Sean Connery
On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969 George Lazenby
Diamonds are Forever 1971 Sean Connery
Live and Let Die 1973 Roger Moore
The Man with the Golden Gun 1974
The Spy Who Loved Me 1977
Moonraker 1979
For your eyes only 1981
Never say never again 1983 Sean Connery
Octopussy 1983 Roger Moore
A view to a kill 1985
The living daylights 1987 Timothy Dalton
License to kill 1989
GoldenEye 1995 Pierce Brosnan

The world is not enough 1999
Die another day 2002
Casino Royale 2006 Daniel Craig
Quantum of solace 2008
Skyfall 2012
Spectre 2015
No time to die 2021
12 actors
And no less than 12 actors have portrayed James Bond in the media. In chronological order: Barry Nelson, Bob Holness, Sean Connery, Roger Moore, David Niven, George Lazenby, Christopher Cazenove, Timothy Dalton, Michael Jayston, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig & Toby Stephens. [main source]

So am I the only one that is saddened by the death of James Bond in the movie No Time to Die….I understand Craig current JB wanted out of the part…I think there could of been another way…

Thanks for spoiling the whole film for anyone who has not been able to watch it yet
14th May 2022 at 10:24
The movie has been out months. If you haven't seen it yet don't cry cos you read spoilers
You obviously have not seen the whole movie!

No mention of the first person to portray Bond on the big screen? Stunt man Bob Simmons in the original gunbarrel scene
24th March 2022 at 09:22
In which movie was that? Does it predate Dr. No?
Lest we not forget the Creator/author/
actual Spy in WWII: Ian Fleming
B Erickson
Or the Spy Maker with Jason Connery, which gives insite to the life the author lived, and where a lot of the recurring characters come from.

At least you mention Barry Nelson, but you don't put the year he was 'James Bond,' being the very first actor to portray the character should be significant. He played JB in 1954's "Casino Royale."
Also, who is Bob Holness, and when did he play JB..?!

The fact that Bond is always referred to as 007 is actually mentionned but if you've noticed he is also told that it's just a number. 007 could be anybody but there is only one James Bond. Besides James Bond could never be a real agent because he lacks all the skills of real field agents.This is a story people…not the real world. So just sit back and enjoy the fantasy. The stories were meant to be entertaining,not factual.
Ian flemming would turn in his grave with the proposal of putting a female 007 in an English gentleman role.It is not what it's all about.
Tbh I thought that 007 was that one guy Murphy in no time to die. Its the only 007 i've ever watched.

Come on folks, don't ruin the tradition and the creator of James Bond with a female Bond. No place for so called political correctness. What is next, a black female, a Hispanic female, an Asian female, and on and on. Please don't!!!!!!!

No. EON has said "Bond is male".

Who cares- no female bond
A female 007 is already in No Time To Die
Daniel Sean Brosnan
23rd December 2021 at 01:50
Is it true that they are thinking of a female acting in the lead role of the next James Bond .🤔wonder what her name will be
The leader actor of James Bond has to be from Britain that's why you can't have American actors play Bond.
There have been both Irish (Brosnan) & Australian (Lazenby) Bond actors already… 😎
Sean Connery would probably have disagreed most vehemently with you.
There's a lot of Timothy Dalton hate. He was one of my favorites. He was the most believable, if I closed my eyes and pictured the novel spy.
How can there be another J.B. He is dead !
Alternate timeline perhaps? It worked wonders for the Star Trek franchise 😁

I enjoyed the film.

Here is my list of best James Bond actors ( in descending order)
Five Best Bond movies ( in descending order)
Gold Finger
A view to a kill / Casino Royale
Why not try Tom Cruise or Ben Affleck as next James Bond ??
Timothy Dalton was a borderline performing actor in James Bond, and I agree Sean C. was one of the best.
Although I have grown along over the years with Pierce Brosman and most and for all Daniel Craig.
But, as sure you go to hell, the last "No time to die" movie was the worst and if hit my TOP 1 as worst James Bond movie (plot) ever seen. Daniel tried hard, he did but you can't make gold out of SH1T.
Already annoyed by the covid delay and good job done to not release any details….I can know understand why!
If anything would have leaked or anyone seen this SH1T movie in advance, a big fair amount of viewers would not have been bothered to waist their money on this bad movie.
I thought, hell even Disney managed to not totally ruin and making money out of a classic Star Wars trilogy.
But this last James Bond movie sets a new negative mark.
The new next James Bond (actor) will have a hell of a job to get this straightened out again.

Only ONE James Bond…Sean Connery!!!
Tom Ellis could be a candidate for the role… or why not B. Cumberbatch…
americanscot
Anyone thinking of a Tom Hardy James Bond? Could be an interesting character if he'd keep his face completely visible, for once…
Concerning a woman James Bond … get real. The role is made for a male actor. And, yes, women were excruciatingly used as sex kittens in the first group of Bond films. But a woman 007? Yes. Another blogpost defines the conundrum well: "In the first Bond book, 1953's Casino Royale, Fleming describes what it means for Britain's iconic super spy to hold the distinction of 007: "you've had to kill some chap in cold blood in the course of some job." Through dozens more Bond books, and twenty-five movies, Fleming and other writers have given more clarity to the meaning of the double-0 moniker." So there.

You could be a little nicer. Interview today with Craig shows there is still possibility of a woman Bond. He wouldnt recommend it but it is still on th table
Joll
Agree! Even Daniel Craig said no woman should play Bond. There was talk about it but hopefully that will be quashed
Arthur Wolf
27th September 2021 at 00:12
I have been a James Bond fan since I was a kid back in 1962. James Bond should never be played by a woman actor. It does not make sense. Next we will have a man play Wonder Woman. What is it with the gender obsession? Leave our famous characters alone. Stop with the social politics. Give us a break and let us enjoy. If a woman wants to play a secret agent, have somebody do the work and create a new agent who is female. It is not right to take advantage of work and fame previously created and use it as a trampolin to promote gender politics.
Jorge Tovalin
1st October 2021 at 01:26
You should be more informed. No woman is playing Bond.
A woman could play 007 but she wouldn't be playing James Bond as he'd have retired.
Jamie Bond? 😎
3rd September 2021 at 02:41
Might want to add this – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_Royale_(Climax!) – Bonds first appearance
As you can see Barry Nelson is in the list of actors who have portrayed James Bond, but I don't consider S01E03 of Climax! a movie as such so it's not in the list of movies.
Terence E
10th June 2021 at 01:02
Yes, she is to be the next 007/James Bond. Official announcements have been made.
Really? Do you have an URL to that official announcement?
Mark Nash
A. very sad day for both the Scottish people, actors in general and the world community as a whole. In his prime I think that he was my favorite 007 by far.
May he forever Rest In Peace after bringing the world so much joy. I just hope that he managed to do that in his private world too!

You are of course 100% correct! How on earth did that mistake slip on there?
(and how come no one else noticed all these years? 😁)
I'll correct it before the day is over!
Table says Roger Moore
5th November 2020 at 07:39
https://screenrant.com/no-time-die-new-007-lashana-lynch-bond/ states:
'A new interview with Lashana Lynch, who plays Nomi in No Time To Die, confirms her character inherits the title of agent 007 from James Bond.'
Does this mean we finally know who the next Bond will be?
Jim Puder
No. We know that she becomes 007 after Bond retires following the events of "Specter". She is not Bond. The film franchise is "James Bond – 007". No, she does not become the next Bond.

An excellent James Bond should be Richard Madden he was brilliant in the TV drama Bodyguard.
No woman should play James Bond I am sure Ian Fleming would turn in his grave if it was so!
31st October 2020 at 13:28
This just in: James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery dies aged 90. 🙁
We have to wait to 2021 for the next Bond movie, it seems…

Is Lashana Lynch going to be the next 007-but-not-James-Bond? 🤔
A tad off-topic, but I wonder whether the Maya Khosrowshahi who is said to have a role in the upcoming Bond movie is the same girl as the one playing the cello on https://www.stbenedicts.org.uk/the-middle-school-concert …?
How about Richard Madden? Would he be an acceptable next James Bond?

Next bond movie is BOND 25 to be released in 2019
Who will be next? Will it indeed be Idris Elba?
The only Bond's that should be counted are the official ones.
Not the lame, ridiculous, too stupid to laugh at spoof Casino Royale. Nor the Thunderball remake Never Say Never Again. Nor the radio voice actors & most definitely not the absolutely awful Casino Royale with Barry Nelson!!
A honourable mention should be attributed to the guy who played him in the documentary you mention.
As well as Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007, the docudrama that George Lazenby did last year is well worth a look called Becoming Bond.
Jody Harkey
9th July 2018 at 04:05
Why is the new bond movie being called Bond 25? Shouldn't it be 26? This is according to IMDB
Well… It all depends on how you count them. My list contains 26 movies already, but I've chosen to include the 2 unofficial Bond movies, Casino Royale (1967) & Never say never again (1983). Exclude those, and you'll have only 24 official Bond movies to date.
Why are they considered unofficial? Though I did miss the original casino royale in my own movie collection so I'll have to find that one bring my list to 26 also.
I think it's simply because they weren't produced by Albert R. Broccoli, but anyone is welcome to correct me if I'm wrong here.

I'm 70 years old and for those of us who grew up on the James Bond movies without reading the books, no one, ABSOLUTELY no one can replace Sean Connery, It was as though the movie's were written explicitly for him. One of the things I missed the most was of course his voice, definitely 007. He was much smoother then the others, " Stirred, not shaken ". It's would be like replacing Jackie Gleason on the Honeymooners

Hi I am great followers of Bond films and my suggestion is those who are acted as a Hero in a Bond film like Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig they are needs to be act in any one part of Bond film.It will surprise to Bond movie followers. But Script and Screenplay should be good to carry the weight age to every one.
Randy Terhorst
Roger Moore was the best with Connery second followed by Brosnan and Craig even.Dalton was horrible,almost stopped watching the Bond movies because of him.
Adam Overton
I didn't think Dalton was terrible, but the scripts for his movies were. Otherwise, I completely agree with you.
Thomas Loyd Bradley
To quote Raymond from Everybody loves Raymond. "You are an idiot wrapped in a moron" Daniel Craig was the best, followed closely by connery. A three way tie for last Brosnon Dalton and Moore. Not seen any of the others
2nd January 2018 at 22:39
Connery (in the first 2 films anyway), 2. Craig (although he's hard to imagine as the Naval Commander Fleming wrote him as ), 3. Connery (in the remaining films), 4. Dalton (highly underrated and rose above the material), 5. Lazenby (thankless job to follow Connery and he did just fine in the best 007 film), 6. Brosnan (no real sense of danger), 7. Moore (…danger? What's that? raises eyebrow and does double take). then the rest, although Niven/Sellers were fun.
I find I like Craig's portrayal and find it closer to the books. Second I rate Connery. I found the whole Moore era too cartoony with too many gadgets and too much of a predictable format.
Jerry L ira
Connery…Sean Connery played the character with such confidence that Bond,James Bond became 007 license to movie sequels. The Godfather of spy!! All others must be triple 000 agents.
16th November 2017 at 05:26
To me, the REAL James Bonds were those who were the stunt doubles for the actors that you never hear about and get a 1 second credit at the end of the film.
Sean Connery was the best bond. then Timothy Dalton and then Roger Moore.
Mugsy
I am curious as to the ages of the people that posted comments. I'm 56 and a Bond fan. Connery was the best Bond originally ( and my favorite, still is) but as times change, so does the way we see our heroes. Connery was great because he was rugid and handsome in a manly way, not like a male model (Roger Moore) and looked as if he could survive a lot of things he came up against. As we get into the 2000's I can see the younger generations liking Bronson and Craig, who by the way did great jobs of portraying Bond. I'm old school and Connery is still my guy. Oh, and I'm talking movies not series.

Roger Moore the best

Agreed…100%
The "watch-waking-the-(thought to be)-dead-agent" thing wasn't from a Bond Movie, but from one called In Like Flint – starring James Coburn

I have a problem with this list I don't people who played Bond in a spoof should be considered James Bond. Also voice actors I'm kinda on the fence about whether they should be considered an actual portrayal of James Bond.
Andrew jeffers
Yes I just want real James Bonds that played in Asheville movies not spoofs or voice overs
Cary Chiknas
Are the movies released in the same order as the books? Are the novels written in chronological order? Great article!

Not even remotely. Moonraker was from a short story collection.

Roger Moore was Ivanhoe,and the saint tv shows from the sixtys,,I like Roger but acting

Hitesh Kulkarni
I love the BOND and off course bonds specially Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnon and Daniel who added their flavors in it.
Now I'm at my 40s , grown up with Moore, Dalton, lived with Pierce and Daniel , still enjoying and love to watch Tom Hiddleston (my opinion) as next one . will manage also with Tom hardy or Henry cavill (Superman if chosen for bond)
connery hands down was the best then brunson and then craig and of course daltun now iys 2017 when is the next movie coming out i need my fix and ive seen every movie and to me all the other bond men werent sexy enough
Domnic Rezoreya
I love Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig Bond movies specially Goldeneye and Casino royale

By far, the most believable James Bond is Daniel Craig. Come on people, no secret agent can go completely unscathed like Moore or Bronson. Second best is Connery. In last place is Lazenby, what a homely, unattractive fellow. Whomever follows Craig in the Bond series has huge shoes to fill, I hope the producers feel the same way. Ty

Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brisbane were the best 007's. 007 is a suave debonair agent with natural swag. Daniel is good, but definitely not the best!
*Brosnan
Conerey by far. End of discussion

Amen brother. I'm 63 and cut my youth at the movies on bond films and creature features. Mummy, wolfman, Dracula, King Kong, Godzilla, & the Thing you get the idea.

By far the best Bond was Sean Connery. He actually got better looking as he got older. Best ever ever ever
Today, exactly 54 years ago, Dr. No had its premiere 🙂
The best movies from I like this 007 movies

During my younger years, I remember still when I am an elementary student I love watching James Bond films I'm a avid fan of those movies now a senior citizen still watching them repeatedly…..

The only 'sole' Bond – of the official series – I can think of is George Lazenby. If you watch the documentary Everything or Nothing, the Untold Story of James Bond, he made "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and then hooked up with an agent who convinced him that Bond wouldn't last!
confidence igwe
He was the worst James Bond in history, actually hated on her majesty secret service because of him
You could arguably make it 13, if you count (I think) Bob Simmons who is the 'Bond' in the opening 'gun barrel' sequences of the first couple of films?
Mark arnett
I think Roger Moore was a great bond. He had the best Whitty jokes and a kill or after shagging a women or when interacting with Q. I was born in 1989 but I own all the films and my top 3 go Daniel Craig, Roger Moore, and of course Sean Connery. I love them all tho I don't think dalton was that great of a bond just like Andy dalton isn't that great of a Quarterback. Still I love Bond movies and when Craig stops I really hopeople they can find someone that can really fill the shoes of 007 James Bond.
All I have to say is Sean Connery by far is the best James Bond.
Mary Elaine Wityshyn
Great job on the site one thing I wanted to ask did odd job appear in the films after goldfinger
Marsha Johnson
Hated All of Roger Moore's James Bond Movies!!!!
I felt he truly did a disservice to the Bond Legacy.
He played bond like a cartoon character….
I haven't missed any Bond movie premiere at the movies until Roger Moore!!!! Truly dissatisfied.
3rd August 2016 at 00:19
I've started watching the films, based on your chronological order. Up to number ten now. Had to buy a couple off amazon. But the rest on British TV. Thank you for listing it.
James J Pepper
EXCUE ME!!
American ACTOR Barry Nelson played Jimmy Bond, a CIA agent on PLAYHOUSE 90 on CBS Network, Sunday night.
I see no mention of 'Playhouse 90' in the filmography of Barry Nelson. You are right though in the part that Barry Nelson portrayed an American secret again (although not CIA). He was referred to both as 'Jimmy' and 'James' in the episode of 'Climax!'.
-n.
I would also put forward that Sean Connery's character in "The Rock" was a retired SAS captain… An obvious throwback, if you ask me.
Diane Granger
Thanks Evert. I really appreciate your list.
You're very welcome 🙂
Would love to see a real Bond weekend with all of the movies. Must be a license issue as to why we don't get to see them all. Daniel Craig is great but he was looking a little old in Sky Fall. The James Bond roll is so demanding. A few actors only did one movie so there wasn't much of a connection made with 007.
Another Bond radio play by BBC radio 4, Diamonds Are Forever, 007 played by Toby Stephens, 25 July 2015
I've added him, and Michael Jayston, to the page now.
I dont feel voiceover actors. Should be included in the list. Theu were not actual onscreens.

I was 10 years old when I first saw James in "Dr No" in 1962. I was an instant lifelong fan. Sean Connery was so cool and dangerous. Then came Roger Moore who I never, never liked as Bond. He always seemed to be trying too hard to be cool, and he never seemed dangerous at all. I was sucked he was cast in so many Bond movies. But compared to some of the disasters in casting Bond, (Lazenby, Dalton, Niven, I guess Moore wasn't that bad, yet none of them came close to Connery IMHO. They cast Brosnan in 1995 and while he wasn't as physical or very dangerous, he played the part with a lot of substance and brought an air of distant coolness that the character and the series badly needed. Then came Daniel Craig. WOW!! His 4 Bond movies are by far the best since Connery. He is the toughest Bond yet, even tougher than Connery. He is very cool without trying to be cool. And the women swoon over him and the men want to be like him. The perfect James Bond for today's audiences. I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but he has replaced Sean Connery as my favorite Bond. He now sets the standard for which future actors must try and achieve with their Bond characters. I know many people will disagree with me and that's okay. That's why we have discussions like this, so that many opinions can be heard. Cheers!!

Woody Allen Peter Sellars also played James Bond
It is indeed true that Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Daliah Lavi & Terence Cooper played 'James Bond 007' temporarily in Casino Royale (1967) as well. (Woody Allen was Jimmy Bond).
I have considered adding them separately but decided against it for now. However, I will rewatch the movie and see whether they're worth of being included in the count.
smartalek
I suspect if you did a poll, the majority (or at least plurality) view would be:
"Not on your life — and while you're at it, lose Niven from the list."
The 1967 Casino Royale was a goof — it was fun, it was a frolic, and it was all kinds of yummy (brilliant soundtrack, too), but it was NOT a James Bond 007 film, nor did it try to be.
It was "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" does Bond…
And if that reference from this side of the pond goes past any of you Brit's, go on YouTube and check it out. There are a few surviving full episodes, and numerous clips to be found there. I'm not really qualified to say, but my guess is they were our Benny Hill.
Thanks for compiling this list.
I assume you already know this, but if you don't, you may take great pride that it is currently the NUMBER 1 hit (out of ~ 14 MILLION!) for a Google search on "how many james bond movies"
Jenna Meadows
James Bond is a Time Lord!
Peter Emmony
Never knew DAvid Niven played JB. Never seen his Casino Royale and certainly never on the UK tv, Connery must win as best !
You missed it, it was on last night
Kevin Crain
Sean Connery is # 1. #2 Roger Moore #3 Pierce Brosnan # 4 Daniel Craig. George Lazenby was pushed out tricked into quitting.Timothy Dalton was the worst 007 ever. George should have stayed or not tricked into leaving. But Lazenby was so much better than Dalton could dream to be
I grew up, loving the series (thanks, dad!) and I'll always judge every Bond against Sean Connery (Pierce Brosnan made me sick– far too soft for Bond). But I must say, that I really like Daniel Craig. I really hope Daniel makes it to 7 eps.
Leelee
thanks for this list had been searching for the years and order now I finally have it all. Pierce Brosnan was not a good bond for me didn't feel he could ever match the finesse of Moore and Connery Lazenby Dalton and Craig but that's just me loved him as Remington Steele when I was young and thought he would be a good Bond but was dissapointed BOND ROCKS! So Happy Daniel Craig has carried on. the Bond tradition however would Love to see Timothy Dalton come back and do another one and hated that George Lazenby only did one he was Great! But of course Moore and Connery are still and always will be the Top Bonds Ever!!!!! Go Team Bond! Leelee

Van somebody tell me in which mobie James Bond is faking to be dead and wapens up in time by his watch on his Polse ? Thx
i believe thats "You only live twice"
Eddie Emmerechts
Matthew, thans for your reply. I have watchers again thuis movie and I believe I know which scene you mean. Unfotunately, this is not the scene that I remember. ( I hope it is not only my fantasy )
Als far als I remember it was Roger Moore who deliberately hided in a coffin, pretending to be dead. When it is time for action his watch starts pulsating on his polse to wake him. He even cotrols his breathing.
I hope I was more clear now and I hope somebody van help me out here because I'm getting real frustrated here.
Live and Let Die? The voodoo scene?

27 movies, not 26, everyone forgets Casino Royale – 1954/Barry Nelson.
As you see below the list, Barry Nelson is mentioned. However, his portrayal of James Bond was in episode S01E03 of the TV series 'Climax!'. Technically speaking not a movie.
elizabeth rouse
i have alwways seen the movies have never imagine a tv series that is amazing that bond has been arouns that long. love the actions and the neat little toys he has to work with.

I've been watching JB for over 50 years. The one first I saw was Goldfinger, which I thought I saw in 1964, but this list says 1965. It's my favorite for nostalgic reasons. That said, I think Daniel Craig is, without a doubt, the best Bond ever, but to each their own.

A possibly underrated movie in this day and age, The World Is Not Enough, came in 1999 if you read the chart. It features Pierce Brosnan and a submarine fight, not to mention a boat chase and a huge twist that I didn't see coming. No spoilers for you though! I got my copy from a thrift store and it runs perfectly
Nadine Francis
They started out so silly with corny jokes and poor acting and now they are excellent. My favorite is Daniel Craig. Excellent actor and serious 007. I had just come home from the USN when the first one came out. Had to have my VHS copies made into DVD's.
I think the first Bond was the original Bond, 1900-1989 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_(ornithologist) ) He was James Bond before anyone else was James Bond and in Die Another Day (2002), Pierce Brosnan as Bond holds up a book that the original James Bond wrote 🙂
I say that bond movie you only live twice I saw that one when I was like 10 maby how to not go to war with russa was cool then but that was befor vietnam
Anthony Flis
You must be joking. Research required here man. My cats a good 007 fan her name is Trinity, she's 13years old.
thomasvanhoesen
you forgot the first TV film from 1954, Casino Royale starring Barry Nelson, the only American James Bond
Nope, you forgot to read the earlier comments 😉
Barry Nelson played James Bond in an episode of the TV-series Climax!
Kim Massey
I think the original film version of casino royale was 1957 not 54 but I may be wrong
I wasn't around yet in the 50's, so I have to rely on the Wikipedia for information 😎
Kamikazi02
that was not a movie that is a series
Hmm, it was a bit of an in-between. It was indeed not a feature-length movie, but it doesn't really meet the criteria ('a coherent narrative unit within a larger dramatic work such as a film or television series') of an episode either since the episode before and after the James Bond-one were in no way coherent to it. 😎

In the Niven spoof CASINO ROYALE, Woody Allen played his nephew, Jimmy Bond. I think it might be fair to include him if we are going to list a South African radio show actor that no one outside that country is likely to have heard.
However (in)famous Mr. Allen is (compared to Bob Holness), he has never portrayed James Bond himself.
Peter Sellers is also in Casino Royale as the agent recruited to be the new James Bond.
Hmm, you have a point there! 🙂
I see that the IMDB indeed lists him as 'Evelyn Tremble/James Bond 007'. However… that applies to Ursula Andress as well. She's listed as 'Vesper Lynd/James Bond 007'.
I think I'll first rewatch the movie, before I add them, and the others listed as 'James Bond 007' 🙂
ron maltase
I was born in 1968 and been a huge bond fan, always. I've never heard of Christopher Cazenove's involvement in the bond world?
Christopher Cazenove played James Bond in Omnibus: The British Hero, a documentary and literary review style show on the BBC. He acted out several scenes from Ian Fleming's novels, including the scene from Goldfinger, where James Bond is nearly killed with a chainsaw (as opposed to the laser in the film Goldfinger).
gtspa (@gtspa)
Technically, Barry Nelson was the first Bond.
Yup. That's why he's mentioned first in the list of actors who portrayed James bond. 😎
Curious , why does Sean Connery play Bond again after George and then again in Roger Moores stint ?
Take a peek at http://jamesbond.wikia.com/wiki/Sean_Connery. I think that answers your question 🙂
He (Connery) needed to revive his career in 1971's Diamonds are Forever and mostly needed the money in 1983's Never say never again. (:>)
Jai Brar
False bring. George Lazenby took to too much partying and womanising so they had to let him go. His movie On her majesty's secret service also dint do too well and bond was still not fully established so they had to bring Sean connery back. Never say never again was not an official bond movie. Sean cannery only did it to spike Albert r broccoli as they had a fall out after you only live twice as they were not paying him well and the two had other differences. You can watch "everything or nothing" the untold story of 007
Xero Fetus
Lazenby only signed a 1 movie contract on his managements' recommendations. They believed that the franchise wasn't viable and wouldn't last much longer.
Interesting side note; Adam West turned down the role as he thought that Bond shouldn't be played by an American.
Pop culture note; Lazenby is Marge Simpson's favourite Bond!
Ron King
What about Barry Nelson who played Bond in 1954 in the movie Casino Royale
He's listed, below the movie table.
Barry Nelson played James Bond in S01E03 of the TV series Climax! (technically speaking this is not a movie).

Boy, 3, who fought like a 'true superhero' tragically dies after cancer battle
Joseph Yeandle's devastated family has paid tribute to three-year-old for how he "inspired thousands" after he lost his battle with an aggressive cancer
Joseph Yeandle died of an aggressive cancer just days after Christmas
The family of a three-year-old boy has shared how after his tragic death he battled cancer like a "real superhero" and "inspired" thousands of people.
Joseph Yeandle died just days after Christmas and his devastated family said he inspired more people in his short life than most people in 60 years, WalesOnline reports.
The boy's love for superheroes and kid entertainer Blippi sparked a fundraiser called 'Help Joseph 'Hulk Smash' Cancer, but on Monday his loved ones revealed he had lost his battle with the disease.
His family said: "Our dear Joseph, our funny, happy, Hulk and Batman loving boy.
"Today we lost you in your body and our hearts are broken into a million little pieces, but your beautiful soul will live on in the hearts of your mommy, daddy, brother Liam, your whole family and the thousands of people you have every time inspired.day with your smile, courage and strength.
His family said he has inspired thousands in his short life
"You have accomplished more in your three short years than most people have in 60 years and we are so incredibly proud of you. You fought so hard, like a true superhero, and Hulk punched your way through everything you came across unfairly.
"You have brought us together as a family and as a community in a truly spectacular way. You have won the nation over and inspired and encouraged so many with your ability to keep smiling through the most difficult of times.
"You have taught us, your family, so much. You have taught us to be brave, to carry on when the going gets really hard, you have taught us how to laugh and smile and most of all, you have taught us how we can love so deeply.
"We are going to miss you very much and the pain of knowing that we will not see your beautiful smile or hear you smile is unbearable.
"Life will never be the same and right now we don't even know how we will get by without you, but we will do it. We will do it for you, we will do it because we love you so much and we will doing it to make sure we protect and build on the incredible legacy you leave behind.
His love for superheroes and kid entertainer Blippi sparked a fundraiser called Help Joseph Hulk Smash Cancer
"You are a true superhero, Joseph James Rees Yeandle – fly high with Batman in the sky, our sweet, sweet boy."
Joseph became ill before the Easter holidays when he "went gray" and struggled to get up.
He was taken to Glangwili Hospital in Carmarthen, where doctors found a lump in his neck and then discovered he had a low platelet count.
He was transferred in March to Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales, Cardiff, where he was diagnosed with stage four high-risk neuroblastoma.
His mother, Katy Yeandle, said: "Discovering Joseph's diagnosis was the most difficult moment of our lives. Hearing that your child has an aggressive cancer with a low survival rate is a feeling that cannot be described and a feeling that I don't wish other family to endure.
"I've tried to think of the words to describe that pain and that heartbreaking feeling, but nothing will ever come close. We couldn't understand how this happened to Joseph, in fact, the chances of him getting neuroblastoma were harder than winning the lottery. Why has this happened to our sweet and beautiful little boy?"
Swansea City fan Joseph, from Brynamman, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, underwent a special form of chemotherapy called Rapid COJEC, but his condition worsened and on Christmas Eve his family said the neuroblastoma in Joseph's lungs, liver and bones .
They have said all fundraising efforts go to other children and families battling cancer and a Facebook page called 'Help Joseph 'Hulk Smash' Cancer can be found here.

How Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Turned Shallow Into an Iconic Duet No One Saw Coming
in Fashion & Entertainment
1:46. Ask any true fan of A Star Is Born what the significance of that time-stamp is and they will most likely be able to immediately tell you that it's the exact moment Lady Gaga sings the movie's first teaser trailer. It was the world's introduction to Gaga as a serious actress, Bradley Cooper as a director and singer (as Jackson Maine), and, of course, to "Shallow," the unexpected hit song of 2018 that no one saw coming—or can stop singing. "Shallow" is up for four awards at the 2019 Grammys on Sunday—including Song of the Year and Record of the Year—and has already taken home trophies at the Golden Globes for Best Original Song among many other wins.After this weekend, Cooper could very well likely be a Grammy winner, with Gaga set to add a few more golden statues to her already impressive mantle, which holds six Grammys.
So how did "Shallow," the sort of country, sort of pop, sort of rock duet you can't get out of your heard, end up rocking both the movie and music industry?
Let's go back to the beginning of "Shallow"'s journey.At that 1:46 minute mark of the first trailer, which has been viewed almost 26 million times, a tentative and timid Ally grabs the mic, with an encouraging Jackson looking on after pulling her on stage to sing with him."Whoa-oh-oh-oh," she finally wails, satisfying that ever-increasing anticipation that had been building since she first walked on stage. We're right off the deep end with her as she dives in. Goosebumps formed. A hit song was born. With anticipation already pretty damn high, the hype for A Star Is Born was officially kicked into overdrive.
Me during a home invasion when the burglar tells me he hasn't seen the trailer for A Star is Born pic.twitter.com/FbfDeDLxsl— Russell Falcon (@RussellFalcon) September 19, 2018
Some of the comments on YouTube video include, "Did anyone get chills at Gaga's entry or is it just me?" Another: "I got chills from 1:47." One more for good measure: "Wow, her voice is so powerful you can feel something, gives me chills."Sensing a theme here? Another popular chorus among the comments went something like, "The movie hasn't even come out yet and I desperately want the song."But, rather than give the people what they want right away, ASIB decided to wait until the week of the movie's release to make "Shallow" available for download. Cruel? Yes. Worth the wait? Obviously.
Fans were first able to hear the song in full when Gaga debuted it on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show in September 2018, explaining, "It's such a special song. We made this song about two people talking to each other and the need to dive into the deep end and stay away from the shallow area."Still, fans had to wait a few more weeks to be able to wail along with Ally in their cars or showers.
"Shallow" debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard Digital Songs chart. One week later, the song was at the top of that chart, selling 58,000 copies. Meanwhile, it also debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 28, and after the film was released it jumped to the No. 5 slot. It was eventually certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over a million copies.The most impressive number, however, is the face that the song was streamed 8.3 million times. And by the end of January, that number is now over 148 million streams.So what was it about that first trailer's wail that immediately hooked people in…and kept them refreshing their iTunes for months?
Gaga herself isn't quite sure, but she addressed the response in an interview with the L.A. Times following the song's Oscar nomination, saying, "I just was really excited to see it capture people. I almost feel like that thing you call a wail is a cry or a prayer for freedom: Is this gonna happen or is it not? Let's go do this. I'm ready to get out of the shallow. That moment when I sing that way, I think that people felt a very guttural need from me that they related to."Gaga wrote the song with producer Mark Ronson, who worked with her on 2016's Joanne, as well as Andrew Wyatt and Anthony Rossomondo, and it was one of the first songs written specifically for the film.
Neal Preston/Warner Bros.
For the pop superstar, the writing process for the duet was "different from any other experience I've had writing a song," she told the L.A. Times."There was a grave nature to the room. I was at the piano, the guys each had a guitar in their hands and we started coming up with lyrics and talking to each other," she explained. "That's really what the song is. It's a conversation between a man and a woman. But we didn't know that when we started."
Part of the reason they didn't know that when they initially set out to write the song was because A Star Is Born's ending was completely different in Cooper's original version. (Spoiler alert!)Originally, Jackson was set to drown at the end. (In the final version, Jackson hangs himself.) "Shallow," then, was supposed to be the end credits song, not the mid-movie climax. So Gaga comes in, sits down at the piano and starts playing a few chords, and it just sounds big, right off the bat. And she comes up with the chorus, 'I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in," Ronson recalled. "She's got most of the thing in her head, and I'm just trying to offer some words. 'Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us.'"
He added, "It felt like an end credits song because it was about the suicide. Or maybe that's just me. In my mind, it was the end credits song, and he's drowned."But as the film's narrative changed, "Shallow" shifted along with it, taking on a more metaphorical meaning.
"There was a time when he was going to drown in the end, so we thought it might be the ending song," Gaga explained to the publication," then as the script changed we made it a song about the two falling in love. I do feel it was more than the literal drowning element of the original script. It was much more about wanting a deep connection and love than it was about water."
"One of the first things Mark said to me was, 'OK, I know you can write a pop song, but what do you absolutely have to write about?'" Gaga explained in a behind-the-scenes video. "We were writing 'Shallow' from the point of view of Ally."Before the movie's ending was altered, "Shallow" was conceived as a solo for Ally. Cooper knew as soon as he heard it that it had to be in the movie."I really loved that song when she had first played it for me and it was just finding out the best way to utilize in the movie," Cooper told MTV International, "and then the idea of maybe making it a duet instead, having it be the first time he hears her sing a song that she's written on the spot. So it really ended up being an anchor for the whole movie."
In a featurette, Ronson admitted, "I had no idea it was going to become part of the narrative." But the song really came together when Lukas Nelson, Willie Nelson's son whose band Promise of the Real appeared as Jackson's backing band in the movie, came in taking it to the next level, helping to blend Jackson and Ally's parts to create the duet.
For Nelson, he told Thrillist, "I think Bradley sang the best on that song for sure. It was his best vocal performance."When it came to the song's meaning, Gaga explained to the L.A. Times, "It's a conversation between a man and a woman asking: In this modern world, do you need more? She's challenging him when she sings back to him: 'Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?' How long can we exist in the shallow?" In the movie, Ally spontaneously sings the song during her first meeting with Jackson, rendering him near-speechless as she belts the chorus in a grocery store parking lot.
"It becomes part of the reason that they fall in love," Gaga explained. But what really made "Shallow" become an instant sensation from the moment the teaser trailer dropped was that Cooper and Gaga performed the song live, adding to that palpable tension and excitement you can feel pouring through the screen as you watch the performance, which is highlighted as most as the film's best scene.
For "Shallow," Cooper assembled thousands of Gaga's fans at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, with Anthony Ramos, who portrays Ally's best friend in the movie, telling Thrillist the atmosphere was "electric." "In short, was amazing," he gushed. "It was electric in there. People just wanted to see Stefani sing. It was wild to see. You see this group of people who want to see this woman win. They are like, 'Oh Gaga, Gaga,' but it's also as Ally, her character. She's getting up there and she's being this person. And they get to see her do this. It was dope to be in the wings and watch that and be a part of that."
If fans could feel Ally's fear, it was because it was authentic, with Gaga admitting, "When I went out there and put my hands over my face, that was real. That was exactly how I felt. It was that fear. It was that insecurity. It was that 'I'm not good enough, but I'm doing this anyway because he inspired me.'" That real sense of fear mixed with the electricity buzzing in the live audience led to an iconic moment…one Ronson knew should be used on the soundtrack.
"It's melancholy and sad, but it's incredibly uplifting because of the performance in the film. And the way he brings her on stage helps the song too. Lukas Nelson did a great arrangement for that performance," he told the L.A. Times. "Gaga being nice and deferential told me, 'You know, if you want to do another version of the song for the soundtrack, we can.' But the minute I saw the trailer, I was, like, 'If that's what the song sounds like, I'm not touching it. It's perfect.'"

While Gaga said she was fully in Ally's mindset during the performance, the team did manage to get some Gaga into the final product."I always love the Gaga-ness of the way she plays with words too. She is the queen of that [stuff], and it makes the song so weirdly interesting," Ronson said. "I remember asking her with 'Shallow': 'Do your Gaga [stuff] and play with the words.' And she came up with 'In the sha-ha, sha-ha-ha-low.'"
And recently, "Shallow" was once again in the headlines when Cooper unexpectedly joined Gaga on stage during one of her Enigma residency concerts in Las Vegas to perform the song live for the first time since they filmed it for A Star Is Born.
To put it bluntly and mildly, the audience immediately lost their s—t, followed shortly thereafter by the Internet having a full-blown meltdown as footage quickly spread. Twitter couldn't get enough of seeing Jackson and Ally back together on stage…even if Cooper admitted he was scared to take on the role of singer again."That was terrifying," Cooper told E! News at the 2019 Directors Guild Awards. "I just had to like, Zen out and just pray that I wouldn't ruin her show. Because, think about it, she just crushed it or two hours..and I thought, 'Please let me just be on pitch.'"He was, with Gaga even handing him "in-ears," to which Cooper cheekily responded, "Jackson never used these."
Of course, the timing of their impromptu performance was strategically planned to coincide with Oscar voting, and proved to be a potent appetizer for the main course: The duo taking the stage at the Academy Awards on February 24, performing the song live together for the second and (possibly) final time."I'm sure I'll be terrified," Cooper admitted to E! News of taking the Oscars stage. (The other four contenders in the Best Original Song category will also be performed.)
Though Gaga has already won multiple Grammys and has performed at the Oscars before, she is still basking in the attention and love "Shallow," as well as her on-screen performance as Ally, has received, from both critics and fans. "I think sometimes people forget that even though this is a big movie, we're all really artists that are like kids playing in a sandbox," she told the L.A. Times. "To be recognized at this level just makes the heart explode, because truly and deeply, I still very much feel like a child with big dreams."
Heading into the Grammys and Oscars as a clear frontrunner in its categories, it's clear "Shallow" has had a lasting impact on its fans long after they saw A Star Is Born. "It's a song that essentially inspires both of them to be fearless in different ways," Gaga said of the song's resonance. "For him, fearless in love; for her, fearless in not just only love, but her ability to share that part of her that's a songwriter, the part of her that doesn't feel comfortable singing her song. I mean, this girl has completely given up. She's completely depressed. She doesn't think she has what it takes. And then she meets this superstar, and he believes in her, and she's overwhelmed by that belief. That's what drives her out there. And I think that's what people are connecting to when they watch it."
Or, to sum it up in a sentence, she said, "It's a song that gives you wings to fly."

Ho-Chunk museum and cultural center starting over but continues to build community
topical alert top story
Barry Adams | Wisconsin State Journal
Josie Lee, director of the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center in Tomah, sorts through some of the artifacts rescued from a fire and flood.
BARRY ADAMS, STATE JOURNAL
TOMAH — The whole idea was to share and preserve history, make it accessible and to build community.
That mission remains true for the Ho-Chunk Nation, which in January opened its museum and cultural center in downtown Tomah after decades of dreaming and years of planning.
Only instead of art exhibits and historical displays drawing in tribal members, tourists and others interested in the Nation's deep and rich past, there are now volunteers, conservators and some of the biggest names in historic preservation helping to dry out and save the collection and archives that sustained water and smoke damage from a fire in a neighboring building.
Remarkably, virtually nothing was lost beyond repair. But for the past three weeks woven baskets, bead work, arrowheads, photographs and thousands of documents have been laid out to dry on the gym floor of the Ho-Chunk Youth Center. The work is now focused on cleaning soot from objects, scanning and refiling documents into new acid free folders, preserving photographs and building new containers from specialized but expensive cardboard designed to hold historic items.
COVID-19 closed the museum in March and its director, Josie Lee, was laid off in July. But since the Nov. 29 fire that destroyed the roof of the museum and left more than three feet of water in the basement where most of the collection and archive was stored, Lee has been working long days to make the collection whole again and coordinating those offering help.
"Honestly, we're just so lucky there were so many people that were willing to help to save all of this," Lee said. "I think in everything I've tried to do has been about building community and this is really a fantastic way to extend that in a new way. It's horrible what happened but (the response) has been pretty fantastic."
At one point the gymnasium floor at the Ho-Chunk Youth Center in Tomah was covered with objects, photographs and documents from the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center. Most things are now dry but now must be rehoused and refiled before placed into storage.
Among those assisting in the efforts are heavy hitters like the Field Museum in Chicago and the Smithsonian Institution. But there has also been a wave of volunteers from the community along with help from smaller organizations like the La Crosse County Historical Society, Mississippi Valley Archeology Center in La Crosse and the Wisconsin Historical Society.
There have been offerings from conservators in Madison and Milwaukee who specialize in repair and preservation of historical items while an intern from the La Crosse County Historical Society is scheduled to begin work this week. The head of a local archeology group, Ryan Howell, launched a fundraiser earlier this month with a goal of $20,000. As of Saturday, the effort had more than $18,000 in pledges.
This journal was among the items that became soaked with water late last month during a fire next door to the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center in downtown Tomah.
Howell, who lives in Warrens, has worked with the Ho-Chunk Nation on efforts to preserve and identify items found in the area that relate to the Nation's history. The museum and cultural center serve as conduits for educating those unfamiliar with the Ho-Chunk's past.
"I think it's really important that the Ho-Chunk have a place that they tell their history and their story in their own words," said Howell, who runs Wisconsin Archeology Artifacts, a 3,000-friend Facebook page. "To me the museum is a step in the right direction in that effort. And with COVID going on, the tribe has taken a financial hit just like everybody else this year."
The Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center is the building to the immediate left of Dimensions, a bar that was destroyed when a fire started in an upstairs apartment.
Multiple buildings in the 1100 block of Superior Avenue, the city's main drag, sustained damage from fire, water or smoke or a combination of the three. The blaze, reported at 5 a.m., started in an apartment above Dimensions Bar, ultimately destroying the building and a neighboring building that was home to Artisan Market. One person was rescued and 45 firefighters from Tomah, Sparta, Fort McCoy and Oakdale responded to the scene, according to the La Crosse Tribune.
Later that day, teams of volunteers descended on the museum to pull items from the soaked facility.
Josie Lee, director of the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center, uses a box cutter to hollow out a block of styrofoam in which to place this miniature replica of a buffalo that was damaged in the fire.
The roof of the Ho-Chunk's building will need to be replaced and the building, the former home of the Tomah Journal, is undergoing a deep clean, projects that could cost more than $250,000, according to Sampson Falcon, executive director of Ho-Chunk Nation's Department of Heritage Preservation, which oversees the museum and cultural center along with divisions of language, veterans affairs, cultural resources and enrollment. It's unclear when the museum and cultural center will reopen and, when it does, if it will be in the same location.
One option being considered would put the collection in storage for a year with the Nation opening a miniature museum until a larger facility can be created, whether it's in the city's downtown or elsewhere, a process that could take three years, Falcon said.

"We're taking it day by day. Right now we're just coming out of the trauma and trying to plan for the future," Falcon said. "But it could have been worse. It could have been way worse."
Preserving a voice
Native to Wisconsin, the Ho-Chunk ("People of the Big Voice") took advantage of the state's fertile landscape for hunting and farming, once presiding over a vast 10.5-million-acre tribal territory from Green Bay to La Crosse and down to northern Illinois.
Formerly referred to as Winnebago, they were relocated to other Midwestern and Plains states numerous times starting in the 1820s when the U.S. government forced them to sell their Wisconsin land at a fraction of its worth. Over time, tribe members migrated back to their native Wisconsin lands, often facing resistance, persecution and disease.
Today, the tribe owns nearly 9,000 acres in 14 Wisconsin counties and is headquartered in Black River Falls.
Their museum and cultural center opened with great fanfare in late January but because the museum had been closed for over eight months at the time of the fire, an exhibit that featured about 20 wildlife paintings of the late Native American artist Clarence Monegar of Black River Falls had been removed from the building.
Traditional Ho-Chunk Nation baskets line temporary shelving in the gymnasium of the Ho-Chunk Youth Center in Tomah. The baskets became soaked during a fire next door to the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center.
Most things in the museum were in storage in the basement, which is where they became soaked as firefighters sprayed an estimated 600,000 gallons of water on the blaze. A portion of the museum's basket collection was also off-site at the Nation's Language Division in Mauston.
But for now, the gymnasium at the youth center is serving as the work space for Lee and her volunteers. At one point the entire floor was covered with documents and photographs but now only a portion of the floor is covered with photos while most of the dried documents have been stacked on tables.
Portable, temporary shelving holds journals, baskets and beaded clothing while a section of bleachers holds a string of picture slides that have been taken apart to allow the cardboard frames and the film images to dry before they are reassembled and placed into proper storage.
This tapestry of beads was pulled from the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center but is in need of restoration.
Craig Deller, a Madison conservator and a member since 1982 of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works that is also assisting the Ho-Chunk, said he and a member of the Field Museum sat down with Lee a few weeks ago and helped her pick out of a catalog supplies she would need to properly store and archive items. It included blue board for photos and for making boxes and sheets of clear, polyester film used to cover and store photographs. The $3,000 price tag was picked up by the Smithsonian.
"Small museums just don't have the funds," Deller said. "There's been some really nice outreach."
Another year to clean
On Tuesday of last week, Lee, who was hired in 2015, was working alone in the gymnasium concentrating on making a housing for a small replica of a buffalo that was covered in soot. Lee, 33, used a box cutter to dig out a space in a block of Styrofoam but also had on her mind her husband and two young girls, ages 3 and 5, and the two papers she's writing so she can complete her first semester in a doctoral program in First Nation education at UW-Green Bay.
The Tomah native already has an undergraduate degree from UW-Madison and a master's degree in museology from the University of Washington.
Virtually everything in the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center was drenched with water. Slides were taken apart to dry and hung last week on a set of bleachers at the Ho-Chunk Youth Center.
Her work to help establish the museum and cultural center in her hometown came after 50 years of talks and planning but now she finds herself with a major setback, a flood of emotions and trying to balance family and school. She thinks it will take another year before everything is cleaned, conserved and properly stored.
"It's a lot of resignation that some things have to take priority over others," Lee said. "Sometimes my dishes don't get done or we have cereal for supper but we're hanging in there. I'm refusing to process any of this until later."
The Ho-Chunk Nation Museum and Cultural Center remains closed and will need a new roof following a fire that started in an apartment above a neighboring bar.

© 2016 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Prisoner populations are characterized by high rates of hepatitis C (HCV), up to thirty times that of the general population in Australia. Within Australian prisons, less than 1% of eligible inmates access treatment. Public health strategies informed by social capital could be important in addressing this inequality in access to HCV treatment. Twenty-eight male inmates participated in qualitative interviews across three correctional centres in New South Wales, Australia. All participants had recently tested as HCV RNA positive or were receiving HCV treatment. Analysis was conducted with participants including men with experiences of HCV treatment (n=10) (including those currently accessing treatment and those with a history of treatment) and those who were treatment naïve (n=18). Social capital was a resourceful commodity for inmates considering and undergoing treatment while in custody. Inmates were a valuable resource for information regarding HCV treatment, including personal accounts and reassurance (bonding social capital), while nurses a resource for the provision of information and care (linking social capital). Although linking social capital between inmates and nurses appeared influential in HCV treatment access, there remained opportunities for increasing linking social capital within the prison setting (such as nurse-led engagement within the prisons). Bonding and linking social capital can be valuable resources in promoting HCV treatment awareness, uptake and adherence. Peer-based programmes are likely to be influential in promoting HCV outcomes in the prison setting. Engagement in prisons, outside of the clinics, would enhance opportunities for linking social capital to influence HCV treatment outcomes.

The U.S.'s largest supermarket chain KR, +2.25% said it would raise the minimum age to purchase arms and ammunition in all of its Fred Meyer stores in response to the Parkland, Fla., high school tragedy. Kroger currently sells firearms at 43 Fred Meyer locations in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
I don't see any references to Meijer? I see Fred Meyer, but they don't appear to be related.
Curzyk wrote: I don't see any references to Meijer? I see Fred Meyer, but they don't appear to be related.
You're correct. Kroger bought Fred Meyer, a grocery/department store chain out west, a while back.
Meijer never recovered from the ammo shortage. What they have is still at "panic" pricing, because it's been sitting there taking up room ever since. Only a customer who had no idea what to pay, would buy ammunition from them these days.
The Meijer in Maumee has decent prices, every time I go I throw a box of 5.56 ($8.99) in the cart that way the wife doesn't know.
I guess it's not Meijer....Meijer being a midwestern state company, and this Fred Meyer being out West.


How do YOU Define Rest?
How do you define rest? Is it sleeping? Is it just taking a break from the norm and relaxing? Watching T.V. or reading?
It could be all of those, or none, depending on how you do them.
If you go to sleep late on a full stomach stressed about tomorrows deadline, that is not rest.
If you watch television that is violent, abusive, stressful or the like, that is not rest either.
The goal with rest is to actually rejuvenate and refresh the body with whatever you are doing at that time. Being in the present moment of a relaxing activity is one of the best ways to nurture the body.
Here are my top 10 ways to rest. Remember, health is a vibration that we are trying to obtain through restand can easily be created by observing nature or silence whenever we want. You can have health at any instant with this focus.
Meditate in silence. This could simply mean hanging out for 5-10 minutes in a quiet place focused on your breathing and relaxing every muscle in your body.
Before you go to bed, get rid of all your thoughts and anxieties from the day and for tomorrow, and tell your body it is ok to focus on healing itself now and throughout the rest of night as you sleep. Think about waking up refreshed and energetic after 7-8 hours of sleep.
Start and end your day with 5-20 minutes focused on total body awareness and breathing through stretching or simple movements like tai chi.
Be in nature and soak up its energy.
Spend 5-10 minutes per day loving yourself, others, and your life.
Have fun with the little things in life, like cooking.
Have a purpose that fulfills you. Without it, you will continue to search for happiness and be uneasy.
Take a nap for 20-40 minutes with the intent of rejuvenating your systems and taking a time-out from life.
Pick out something that aggravates you on a daily basis and constantly combat it with relaxed breathing and peaceful thoughts, i.e. road rage, yelling at your children, spouse or yourself, etc.
