Wrath of Khan is the best thing Trek ever did and Trek has ruined itself repeatedly trying to capture that lightning in a bottle again, rather than, for example, doing something totally different like Best of Both Worlds or the Dominion War. Nemesis failed for so many reasons, the main one being it wanted to be Wrath of Khan (and no one who watched Trek all those years could claim Picard's clone or Data's prototype were a Nemesis to either of them.) The STORY of this latest film did not have to be Wrath of Khan. Why not show this new crew exploring the universe, build up some charisma between them based on their new adventures and what new and interesting thing they found out there rather than rehashing an old storyline? With CGI they could put anything they want on film, and yet there hasn't been a Star Trek movie really addressing the theme of exploration and the continuation of the human adventure since, well since Final Frontier to be fair, but I think really since The Motion Picture.
Everything is a big shoot 'em up trying to be Wrath of Khan, which itself spent much more time dealing with themes of lost youth, friendship, and obsession than it did action. Except for the Reliant's initial attack on the Enterprise and the cat and mouse in the nebula, very little of that movie is an action piece, yet the movie flies by, is filled with tension throughout, and though it is a point frequently made, Khan and Kirk are never in the same place the entire movie! All of their drama is on the viewscreen or over the communicators. You didn't need a fist fight through San Francisco. Action is fine, but nowadays it is a cover for a lack of story and there being no "there there".
And I hate the way Spock is used. Everyone says, "Spock is so logical and unemotional" except now every person who writes for Spock thinks that there should be a moment where Spock loses it and emotes all over the place in everything Spock is in. In episode after episode of the original series, Spock might have some un-Vulcan sarcasm played for humor in his comments, but he was his cool, logical self. There are examples of Spock emoting, usually when some alien force affects him in some way. But what makes the moment in Amok Time so special when he sees Kirk is alive is it was RARE. Then you have the journey as an older man in the films when he embraces his human side and realizes logic is the beginning of wisdom. It is a beautiful journey for a tortured soul, but even when we see Spock in Next Generation he doesn't weep over Sarek's death or anything. But now every movie these hack writers have Spock sing a song, try to strangle Kirk with his bare hands, or in a moment of total fan wank yell "Khan!"
And why exactly would that time travel cause yet a third look for the Klingons so they now look like Nikto?

The Dark is a brand new picture book from two children's books luminaries: Lemony Snicket and Jon Klassen. Laszlo is a boy who is afraid of the dark until he actually gets to know it. The dark lives in the basement but comes to visit Laszlo upstairs in his room one night. Then Laszlo goes down to the basement. All of this sounds terribly foreboding but is refreshingly resolved.
The Dark could be helpful with those ever common afraid of the dark childhood fears. But the way that the dark and Laszlo are presented with language and illustration is well worth the read for any age.

You are here
I was on the hunt for stories for my second issue ever (Summer 2005) when I met Linda and Frank Lynch. I'd seen photos of their tall, contemporary residence at architectural designer Beau Clowney's office. But regardless of how emphatically he said (laughing all the while), "You should definitely call them—the house is great, but more than that, you'll love meeting them," I had my own ideas. After all, I'd seen pictures of where they lived, and that's usually when my imagination goes to work.
Here's what I expected: a 60-something retired couple, rather austere. They had a serious house on paper (not pieced together with additions, or built with varying style ideas or full of pattern or whimsy), so they'd be serious folks. We'd tour the house and I'd furiously take notes about modern architectural principles and Southern design trends that they'd speak of, and in the end, we'd have ourselves quite a story. A house like this, I thought (and still do), would be just as fitting on the pages of Architectural Digest as it would in Charleston Home.
Here's what I got: a charming pair of former nightclub owners from Scotland, she a petite, warm, and stunningly pretty brunette and he… well… sure, he's handsome and warm, but more to the point: have you ever met someone and known instantly that whatever party he's invited to, it won't start until he gets there? That's him. He's lively to the core, and has a joke for most every topic. As for their ages? Who knows—who cares? He spent a good part of our visit quipping about their age difference, that she's the "young wife" he's managed to rope in.
As for the edifying house tour? I laughed far more than I took notes—the ones I did take, I could barely read later. Those were useless. But it is true that they know their way around good design. Every architectural detail, room, table, every piece came with an anecdote— they relayed tales of the Art Nouveau mirror that once hung in Paris hotspot Maxim's, the coffee table that was an Indonesian weavers' worktable, and more. But these were mixed in with as many tales totally unrelated to house or home, but that were maybe just good for a laugh. Mind you, the whole time, they're finishing each other's sentences and disputing the other's stories. Again, a relative rookie at my job, I found myself thinking, "This is work? I could stay here all day!"
And I almost did. Fast forward two hours from the time I arrived, and I'm plopped on their sofa, scrapbook on my lap, studying pictures of their former life in New York City as owners of an early-1980s see-and-be-seen nightclub and disco. Eddie Murphy was among the who's who gamut of rising stars in the shots, with Frank or Linda alongside. I believe this came after their Glasgow Apollo days, another rock n' roll spot of theirs. And here they were, in a sunny house on the Isle of Palms, sharing it all with me as if we were old friends catching up.
So much for austere.
Suffice to say, I was having a good time at this new job of mine. I still am, but find it fascinating that after five years at this, one of the most remarkable scouting visits came right at the outset. I guess I needed a quick lesson that this home editor gig is much more than window treatments and wallpaper.
Get the full story on the Lynch house at http://www.charlestonmag.com/home/feature/american_idyll_0.
P.S. So I emailed the Lynches the other day asking for a couple current photos of them in their house. What did they do? They asked their house painter to come inside and snap a few (his fine photographic handiwork is evidenced here, in the shot that appears on the home page and the second one on this page). I think the guy's got a gift, don't you?

Overwinter Onion Problem
Hi guys, hope all is well.
Just looking for some reassurance/advice really, I'm growing a load of red onions in plant pots over winter, (sets planted about 5 wks ago in a plastic covered freestanding bookshelf type greenhouse) and they seem to have sprouted nicely. However the leaves are reaching 6-7 inches then flopping over which I assume isn't good; I read somewhere that even if the leaves die off they'll regenerate in spring though this has been in relation to seed-grown rather than set-grown onions.
Do I need to be worried about them and have an emergency replant, or shall I just leave them to do their thing?

Re: Overwinter Onion Problem
Welcome to the forum DHM
Where abouts in the world do you live ?
I have to say that it would not have occurred to me to plant onions like this so I'm not sure what to advise but others may have a better idea .
I have only ever planted onion sets out in the spring .

Bel-Cam Jos,
That's where I saw him too! I lived in Riverside from '93 - 95. The animation festival was great and the line for Weird Al was long. But I did learn one thing from a fellow fan. Always bring a Polaroid Instamatic camera with you. You can take a photo of yourself with the celebrity, and then have them sign the bottom of the photo. To this day, that's what I do at all the autograph sessions I go to.

BCJ, maybe you left them off the list on purpose, but I noticed you don't have the songs Polkamon and Spy Hard, which Al did for a Pokemon movie and Spy Hard.
EDIT-I was checking out Al's site, and I noticed he lists some non album songs he has created.
It's Still Billy Joel To Me
School Cafeteria
Take Me Down
It also lists that Spy Hard song as Theme From Spy Hard, and that Polkamon song is from Pokemon the Movie 2000.

Back and more bearded than ever before
I just read that on Yahoo! Music page.'Weird Al' Yankovic takes on hits by a whole new crop of pop stars on his latest album, 'Poodle Hat,' due May 20 via Way Moby/Volcano. On the 12-track set, the musical parody veteran reworks well-known songs by such artists as Eminem (news - web sites), Avril Lavigne (news), and Nelly.
The album's lead track is 'Couch Potato,' a commentary on America's obsession with media and celebrity, set to Eminem's 'Lose Yourself.' Because Yankovic is going along with Eminem's wishes, the song won't be supported by the type of video treatment that has become the hallmark of past 'Weird Al' projects.
'Eminem gave his approval for me to use 'Couch Potato' (my 'Lose Yourself' parody) as a track on my new album, but he wouldn't allow me to do a video for it,' Yankovic tells Billboard.com. 'He somehow feels that a 'Weird Al' video would detract from his legacy or make people take him less seriously. I have to respect his decision, but it's obviously very disappointing for me -- it would have been an absolutely amazing video.'
Elsewhere on 'Poodle Hat,' Lavigne's 'Complicated' becomes 'A Complicated Song,' while Nelly's 'Hot in Herre' is morphed into 'Trash Day.' Yankovic also turns Billy Joel (news)'s 'Piano Man' into a 'Spiderman' parody as 'Ode to a Superhero,' and the Backstreet Boys (news - web sites)' 'I Want It That Way' into the send-up 'eBay.'
In keeping with tradition, the album also features one of the accordion-playing musician's trademark polka medleys. The 'Angry White Boy Polka' finds him incorporating snippets of songs by Rage Against The Machine, Papa Roach, System Of A Down, and the White Stripes, among others.
'Poodle Hat' also boasts original songs such as 'Hardware Store,' 'Party at the Leper Colony,' 'Wanna B Ur Lovr,' and the Bob Dylan homage 'Bob.' Ben Folds guests on the track "Why Does This Always Happen to Me,' while Dweezil Zappa appears on a tribute to his father, Frank Zappa ('Genius in France').
Yankovic and his band -- guitarist Jim West, bassist Steve Jay, and drummer Jon 'Bermuda' Schwartz -- will kick off an extensive North American tour June 19 in Del Mar, Calif. Promising a 'high-energy, multimedia extravaganza complete with hilarious video montages and elaborate costume changes,' the tour will wrap with a Sept. 7 finale in Santa Clara, Calif.
'Poodle Hat' is the follow-up to 1999's 'Running With Scissors,' which peaked at No. 16 on The Billboard 200. That set parodied songs by the Barenaked Ladies, the Offspring, Puff Daddy, and others.

In Kenya, press curbed as government seeks to fight terrorism
The Kenyan press is being caught in the crossfire as authorities seek to strengthen defenses against terrorists. On December 19, Kenya's president signed into law a security bill that has the power to stop the press covering terror attacks. The government has also recently criticized the media over allegations that special units are carrying out extra-judicial killings, and a local journalist who reports on security issues has gone into hiding after receiving threats.

John Clifford shipped out to Vietnam in December 1966. He was already 22, but it never occurred to him that he wouldn't be going. Clifford was a Somerville boy, the oldest of five brothers raised by a single mother on welfare. Where he came from, everyone went into the military. Clifford had been bopping around the country since finishing high school, working bellhop jobs in hotels, always one step ahead of the draft board, registering whenever he moved, but he knew it was only a matter of time.
He fought in some of the toughest battles in the DMZ. By July of '67, he was against the war. The turning point was a battle that month in which 250 were wounded and 58 died. He remembers looking across the boarder into North Vietnam after taking a day of heavy shelling and machine-gun fire and realizing: "I shouldn't be here."
"Everyone I knew was wounded," Clifford tells me over coffee at Cambridge City Hall, where he works as an assistant to city councilor Ken Reeves. Walking behind a tank, he saw a friend blown to bits.
Upon returning home, he got involved in the anti-war movement; he also enrolled at UMass-Boston on the GI bill. He worked as a Big Brother and community organizer at Columbia Point, then became a union organizer. From 1983 to 2006, he owned Charlie's Tap/Green Street Grill in Cambridge, where he booked a who's who of '80s progressive and avant-garde jazz: David Murray, Henry Threadgill, Butch Morris, the String Trio of New York.
The violinist for that last band, Billy Bang, was also a Vietnam vet. Clifford's two-year hitch in the Army ended in 1968, just before the Tet Offensive. That's when Bang's combat tour began.
Unlike Clifford, who came to military life relatively late, Bang was drafted as a teenager and had a more confused homecoming. He became involved in the anti-war movement and eventually dedicated himself to music, but he didn't face his experiences head-on until his 2001 album for Justin Time, Vietnam: The Aftermath. "For a long time, I thought about this project, but I never wanted to confront it," he told me in 2004. "I didn't want to bring those thoughts up again and revisit that area of my life." But Justin Time's Jean-Pierre Leduc encouraged the project, which also produced a follow-up, Vietnam: Reflections. Despite the troubling memories they evoked for Bang, the albums sustain a peaceful mood. There are the occasional traditional melodies (and vocals by Co Boi Nguyen), but assured post-bop dominates.
Clifford and Bang will celebrate Memorial Day weekend together at Highland Kitchen in Somerville this Sunday in a program called "Basic Training: An Evening of Art, Music, and Poetry." Clifford will read some of the poetry he wrote about Vietnam upon his return and Bang will accompany him with improvisation as well as perform solo. The evening will also feature the sculpture of Vietnam vet Joe Carpineto, saxophonist Timo Shanko's trio, singers Joelee Baker-bey (of the Silver Leaf Gospel Singers) and Wanetta Jackson, and artist Nancy Ostrovsky, another long-time friend of Clifford's whose "performance" paintings were a regular part of the Green Street scene.

A broken ankle or broken foot is a common injury. You may experience a broken ankle or broken foot during a car crash or from a simple misstep or fall. The seriousness of a broken ankle or broken foot varies. Fractures can range from tiny cracks in your bones to breaks that pierce your skin.
Treatment for a broken ankle or broken foot depends on the exact site and severity of the fracture. A severely broken ankle or broken foot may require surgery to implant plates, rods or screws into the broken bone to maintain proper position during healing.
If you have a broken ankle or broken foot, you may experience some of the following signs and symptoms:
Some people feel or hear a snap at the time of injury and assume that means something has broken. However, a snapping sound or feeling is not always a sign of a fracture.
See a doctor if the pain and swelling last for more than two or three days, or if pain interferes with walking.
The most common causes of a broken ankle or a broken foot include:
You may be at higher risk of a broken foot or ankle if you:
Complications of a broken ankle or broken foot are uncommon, but may include:
You will likely initially seek treatment for a broken ankle or broken foot in an emergency room or urgent care clinic. If the pieces of broken bone aren't lined up properly for healing, you may be referred to a doctor specializing in orthopedic surgery.
You may want to write a list that includes:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor will check for points of tenderness in your foot and ankle. The precise location of your pain can help determine its cause. He or she may move your foot into different positions, to check your range of motion. You may be asked to walk for a short distance so that your doctor can examine your gait.
Not all foot and ankle injuries require imaging. If your signs and symptoms meet certain criteria, your doctor may suggest one or more of the following imaging tests.
Treatments for a broken ankle or broken foot will vary, depending on which bone has been broken and the severity of the injury.
Your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), naproxen sodium (Aleve, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others).
After your bone has healed, you'll probably need to loosen up stiff muscles and ligaments in your ankles and feet. A physical therapist can teach you exercises to improve your flexibility and strength.
These basic sports and safety tips may help prevent a broken ankle or broken foot:

A celebrity agent who has some of New Zealand's biggest names on her books has formed close ties to Anna Guy.
The Feilding mother of four, whose husband Ewen Macdonald was acquitted of murdering her brother Scott in July 2010, broke her silence in spectacular fashion last week with interviews in Woman's Day and on TV3's 60 Minutes.
This week the Herald reported that Guy was interested in broadcasting and performing and planned to move to Auckland to be close to her new partner and start a career.
The Herald on Sunday asked several well-known Auckland celebrity agents about Guy but only one admitted to having ties with the 31-year-old.
Karen Kay manages dozens of famous celebrities, including actor Shane Cortese, comedian Rhys Darby and singer Elizabeth Marvelly.
A well-placed source said Kay had helped Guy in dealings already, although Kay herself was not willing to discuss the issue.
Asked whether she was Guy's agent, Kay said: "I am one of Anna's many supporters and her friend."

To try to place things in perspective as we talk about stimulus, let's look a what a trillion dollars really is - It's a 1 followed by 12 ZERO's with a $ sign in front of the 1.
With a population of around 300,000,000 people that means there is going to be a large amount of money thrown around (did someone say a 30% chance of accomplishing the intent?), which will indebt everyone in this country to the amount of $3,333.33 where $2,333.33 will be ineffective.
Does this sound like it's the least bit bright?

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Numerous Northeast Mississippi legislators, both Republicans and Democrats, are not completely sold on charter schools as a tool to help improve the state's educational outcomes.
In interviews during the opening week of the 2013 session with 20 Northeast Mississippi legislators, a majority said they would support charter schools in poor-performing districts, but not in other areas without the approval of local school boards.
"We have good schools for the most part in Northeast Mississippi," said Rep. Donnie Bell, R-Fulton. "If you want to look at charter schools in failing school districts, that is fine.
"If several years from now, we see some trends where charter schools are really successful, then we might want to open it up. But right now, I don't think we should bother the schools that are excelling."
Charter schools operate outside much of the regulation governing traditional public schools, though they do receive public funding. Currently, state law allows parents to convert chronically poor-performing public schools to charter schools under certain circumstances.
Thus far, there has been no effort to use that state law.
Gov. Phil Bryant, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves and Speaker Philip Gunn have proposed expanding the charter school law to allow new or startup charter schools. Reeves, in particular, has been a strong advocate of allowing charter schools in districts accredited at the C, D and F levels with school boards of A- and B-accredited school districts having the authority to veto charter schools within their district boundaries. And in recent weeks, Reeves had said he believes parents and not governmental officials should decide where charter schools should be located.
Last year charter school legislation passed the Senate where Reeves presides, but died in the House.
Skepticism still remains in the House even though most legislators said they would like to see legislation before making a final determination.
Many Northeast Mississippi legislators fit into the category of saying they would favor allowing charter schools in D and F districts.
"I don't want them in successful or above districts," said Rep. Lester "Bubba" Carpenter, R-Burnsville. "…D and F districts – we need them as a tool in the toolbox. We have to try something different in those districts."
Rep. William Tracy Arnold, R-Booneville, said, "I would say they are needed in some areas. I would say more in failing districts."
Others such as Reps. Nick Bain, D-Corinth; Jody Steverson, D-Ripley; Jerry Turner, R-Baldwyn, Mac Huddleston, R-Pontotoc; Jim Beckett, R-Bruce and Preston Sullivan, D-Okolona, indicated they would prefer charter schools only in low-performing districts.
"As long as C is mentioned in the bill, I can't see voting for it," Steverson said, adding charter schools would take funds from already financially strapped public schools.
"There are places in the state where we do need charter schools," Turner said. "Low-performing schools – that is where the need is. The fact is if it wasn't for those districts we would not be discussing this at all."
While the legislation did pass the Senate last year, there are also skeptics in the upper chamber. Sen. Nickey Browning, D-Pontotoc, said if the legislation is the same as last year – allowing the schools in C districts – "I can't support it. I have talked to educators in my district and to the general public and they are scared of charter schools."
And Sen. J.P. Wilemon, D-Belmont, said he cannot support the concept because he does not understand why charter schools should have more freedom than traditional public schools.
Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, has been an outspoken opponent of charter schools, saying if there are regulations that are hindering traditional public schools, they should be removed instead of authorizing charter schools.
In the House, Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, said, "I am open-minded to try different things, but my whole point is we have not supported public schools. Let's give them the resources they need."
Two Republicans – Margaret Rogers of New Albany, and Steve Massengill of Hickory Flat – also expressed strong reservations.
"I want to read the bill, but I am not inclined to vote for charter schools," Rogers said. "We have limited money. I think they will raise our taxes."
Massengill said, "I would do a pilot program. Other than that, I am probably a no."
Rep. Kelvin Buck, D-Holly Springs, "I am absolutely no on charter schools. I think the legislation would set up a system that is separate … We have limited dollars for our current system. Plus, I don't think charter schools offer any real solutions to our education challenges."
Charter schools, though, do have some of their most vocal supporters in Northeast Mississippi.
Sen. Nancy Collins, R-Tupelo, has been one of the leaders in the Legislature in the charter school movement. She said parents and students from all areas and from all demographic groups should have school choice.
Rep. Randy Boyd, R-Mantachie, said there are students falling behind in even the most successful districts.
"We have to do something," he said.
Rep. Brian Aldridge, R-Tupelo, said the feedback he is getting from his constituents indicates support for charter schools. He said they indicate they want more school choice.
Speaker Gunn has said the legislation the leadership will introduce will limit the number of charter schools to 15 per year.
"We want to stress quality, not quantity," he said.
House Education Chair John Moore, R-Brandon, said his legislation will allow boards of successful, or C, districts to veto charter schools until 2016. But he said if the will of the House is strong on the issue, he would agree to allow them only in D or F districts without the approval of the local boards.
Moore said he doubts his Education Committee will take up the issue this week.

PRESS RELEASE: 06 July 2011
The National Gallery's most recent addition to the Irish collection, Sir John Lavery's Return from Market (1884), has gone on view in the Millennium Wing from today (Wednesday 6 July). The painting was donated by the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA).Lavery painted the scene of two female figures boating on the river on a summer's day during the artist's first visit to Grez-sur-Loing, the picturesque village and colony on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau. Boating scenes were a recurring theme in Lavery's work.Speaking at the official handover of the painting, Frank Daly, Chairman of NAMA, said: "The National Gallery has been very helpful to NAMA in respect of a particular collection which came into our possession. In light of that we were happy to make this donation to the Gallery and we are delighted that the public will be able to enjoy this painting. We are grateful that the National Gallery continues to store a number of pieces of work on our behalf while we finalise preparations for their disposal by public auction. "Dr. Olive Braiden, Chairman of the Gallery's Board of Governors and Guardians, said; "Gifts and bequests to the national collection are even more appreciated especially at a time when resources for acquisitions are limited. This painting is a wonderful gift and is sure to bring much pleasure to all those who cherish the work of John Lavery." Dr. Brendan Rooney, Curator of Irish Art in the National Gallery of Ireland, said; "This painting is an outstanding example of Lavery's work produced during his visit to Grez-sur-Loing during the mid 1880s. It is a very welcome addition to the national collection and represents a significant period in Lavery's artistic development but also marks the importance of Grez-sur-Loing as a colony and the pervasive influence of French Naturalism throughout Europe and beyond. The Gallery holds two other works by Lavery from his Grez period: The Return of the Goats and On the Bridge at Grez."Lavery's Return from Market is now on view as part of the current display, 'Masterpieces from the Collection', in the National Gallery of Ireland. Entrance via the Millennium Wing at Clare Street, Dublin 2.

RE:Buttermilk Bay 5-24
Not willing to call it at this point... southside start of outgoing where we fished that evening last year might be a hot morning number looking at the tides; also it's not too late for cows on the skinny bayside stuff. Nauset with buddy Sean Fields is a must; and I definitely gotta hook up with Josko over the weekend down his neck of the woods. Monomoy scouting pre-clave? Oh yah, I'll be fitting it in somehow, and I'm out for da' big stuff this weekend! Could be pushing the marital stresspoints the way it's lookin so far!
Anyway, I'll think it over a little more and try to develop some itinerary. Let's try to hook up for sure.
|Nathan Smith
RE:Buttermilk Bay 5-24
I am going down with my girl friend who is visiting from UT. But she is a late sleeper so I will have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings free. Would you be interested in hooking up to do some fishing, anyone else interested. I think I will mainly be hitting the south side. It seems to be doing the best, what do you think?
RE:Buttermilk Bay 5-24
Due to family demand, p-u-r-e pleasure! That means mornings and evenings (with the exception of a dinner here and there) will be MINE! I'll be taking advantage of my son's renewed interest and getting as much striper into his mind as I can while he is open to it, and will be hooking up with good friend Sean Fields on Nauset as well. Another chore is to get the beach sticker taken care of.
What's your schedule down there? Any others doing the cape weekend?
|Nathan Smith
RE:Buttermilk Bay 5-24
Juro are you heading down for a working trip or pleasure? If pleasure, I will be down there too.
RE:Buttermilk Bay 5-24
AL! I am heading in the opposite direction for the weekend, down Cape. Too bad, I would have enjoyed flinging flies with the fingermeister. You must enjoy raising your hand at people saying see this? while unbeknownst to them you are giving them the 'finger'
Good luck up there, I hear that some stripah are in the coastal river up in Maine and of course it's such a beautiful area. I remember the months I stayed up in the Brunswick area working for BIW, hitting Popham beach, Reid state park and the inlets around Orr's and Bailey's Islands for stripers in summer.
Have a great time and I hope someone hooks up with you for Friday!
|i'm so outta here
Buttermilk Bay 5-24
Got out tonight and finally broke my slump. Since injuring my finger, I've been nearly fishless. But not for lack of trying.
I strung up the QD and hit Electric Ave beach two hours before low tide and about 20 minutes before sunset. Water was glassy as the storms had not yet begun.
A black beach-glass silverside, fished quickly along the drop off, parallel to shore and with the current, did the trick. Picked up a decent shoolie and a nano-bass fresh from PI. The lightening started soon after the second fish, so I decided to call it a night.
I'm heading for Maine this weekend and could be in the Newburyport area. Anyone for night fishing PI Friday around midnight?

Doris Troy
In 1969, Doris Troy was living in a London mews apartment near Baker Street. "I mentioned I was working with The Beatles, man," Doris recalled later, "and I got the most gorgeous flat! It was wonderful. The Beatles... I can't explain it... it was phenomenal."
Padding around Doris' place was her cat, Lord Krishna, and on her wall were photos of people she admired and who most inspired her. Martin Luther King was among them. Another was Billy Preston, who slept on the floor until he found a roof of his own. Another was George Harrison.
Doris was of Barbadian decent and grew up in Harlem, New York, before becoming a firm Anglophile. She first moved to Britain in 1965 after her Atlantic Records single 'Whatcha Gonna Do About It' charted here, that in turn followed the huge No. 2 success of her song, 'Just One Look', as covered by The Hollies.
Doris Troy loved Britain and Britain loved Doris Troy. "When she got off the plane in London, there was a red carpet, and there were kids screaming," remembers Vy Higginsen, Doris' younger sister and travelling companion. Doris became Mother or Mama Soul to her fans on account of her own music, and an indispensable Miss Fixit when it came to organizing backing singers for other people.
Early breaks for Doris included being talent-spotted by James Brown at New York's soul central, the Apollo Theater in Harlem, near to where her family lived, and the deal with Atlantic, where her career as a backing vocalist developed. In Britain, too, Doris became Backing Vocal Queen alongside friends such as Marsha Hunt and Madeline Bell.
Doris' backing vocals can be heard on some of the most famous records in popular music, including the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', Carly Simon's 'You're So Vain' and Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' album, to name but three. But it's her own music that we're concerned with here, and Doris Troy, her second album, issued in September 1970, showcases her lead singing, her songwriting talents and her funky-soul-R&B crossover appeal to the max.
Speaking in 1992, Doris explained how she came to record for Apple Records: "George was producing Billy Preston's album (That's The Way God Planned It) and my girl friend Madeline Bell called me up and said, 'Come on, Doris, you want to work?'. And that's how I met Billy Preston and George."
In an interview recorded in early 1970, George recalled: "I first met Doris on this Billy Preston session. Madeline had brought Doris one day. Doris had come over to England with a few demo tapes, because she'd decided that she wanted to live in England and try and do it from here like, I suppose, the thing that Jimi Hendrix did. She came on a session, and she's been there ever since!"
Doris discovered that George was already familiar with her music: "He told me he had 'Just One Look' and my Atlantic album. I said, 'What? My stuff?' He said, 'Yeah. We listen to it all the time'."
Continued Doris: "George said to me after the second session, 'What are you doing, Doris? Are you free?' I said, 'Yeah, man, I'm free.' He said 'Do you want to sign to Apple?' I said 'Sure! Are you serious?' He said, 'Yeah'. I said, 'Well, I want to be writer, producer and artist, OK?'. He said 'OK'."
Apple offered Doris no fewer than three contracts, exactly what she'd asked for. They also gave her own office on the top floor at 3 Savile Row, next door to Peter Asher, then Apple's A&R chief.
Work on Doris' self-titled album began at Trident Studios in London's Soho district in mid 1969 and continued until the end of the year. George and Doris worked together on the production but Doris got the producer's credit. The sessions were spontaneous and thanks to George's unparalleled influence, musicians gathered quickly to play on the album and to collaborate with Doris.
George was present throughout, of course, and, as Doris recalled in '92: "We had Ringo Starr. He was one of my favourite people. He would be the first one there. He was so dedicated. I wish I could see him today and tell him how much I appreciate his enthusiasm and the way he worked, because he could play."
If half The Beatles wasn't enough, the guest list kept growing. "Then we had Billy Preston," continued Doris. "Then we had Eric Clapton. And Klaus Voormann — one of my favourite bass players in the world. In fact Klaus and I wrote some songs together. And then Peter Frampton, he did his part. Delaney and Bonnie were in town and they came over. Stephen Stills came. He was here to buy a Ferrari and he heard about the sessions. And someone brought him over to my house and we became instant friends, because we're both Capricorns. I said, 'You got any tunes?' and he said 'Yeah', so he brought 'Special Care'. He sang background with me."
Doris wanted for nothing during the recording sessions. As John Lennon had indicated at a press conference to announce Apple: "People can come and record, and not have to ask 'Can we have another microphone in the studio but we haven't had a hit yet' ". Doris: "That was the good thing about Apple Records. If you needed amps, if you needed speakers, if you needed mics… When we went to the studio, anything we needed, we got it."
'Ain't That Cute', which Doris described as "a hot song", kicked off the album in fine form. This is one of two collaborations credited to Harrison / Troy, one of three if you count their inspirational gospel arrangement of the traditional 'Jacob's Ladder', which closed the original vinyl LP.
As with many of Doris' songs, 'Ain't That Cute' began with a lyric, here a phrase that Doris used in everyday speech. It's a lyrical companion to Joe South's classic 'Games People Play', also present here in a soulful, gospel form. 'Ain't That Cute' was released as Doris' debut Apple single ('Jacob's Ladder' was the second and last), and had been considered a stand-alone 45, but was added to the line-up once the rest of the album had been completed.
Said George in 1970: "We did her single, 'Ain't That Cute', which we wrote in the studio, actually. This is a good exercise because… I wouldn't consider going in there and just making it up on the spot, which is what we did with 'Ain't That Cute'. We didn't have a song, so we made it up, and I just pinched the chords from (Leon Russell's) 'Delta Lady' and away I went. We wrote that, and it's very nice, with Pete Frampton playing guitar."
Doris collaborated with George further on 'Give Me Back My Dynamite', a key figure of which is George's own stinging guitar lines. The Troy-Harrison songwriting team was augmented on two standout tracks — 'Gonna Get My Baby Back' and 'You Give Me Joy Joy' — by Ringo Starr, and by the fortuitous presence of Stephen Stills, one corner of the Crosby, Stills & Nash triumvirate. (Stills was also about to issue his own debut solo album, which he'd recorded in London). As Doris recalled, Stephen also brought along 'Special Care' from his Buffalo Springfield days, which Doris transformed from its languid psychedelic original into a rollicking R&B barnstormer. Stephen would later adopt this arrangement for his own live renditions of the song.
'I've Got To Be Strong' is essentially a composition by Doris' Apple Records label mate Jackie Lomax and shares many similarities with tracks on his Is This What You Want? Apple album. 'So Far', written with Klaus Voormann, is pure gospel soul, highlighted by Doris' impassioned vocals.
'Hurry', meanwhile, was a remake of a song Doris wrote with her early collaborator Gregory Carroll, and which she first recorded for Atlantic in 1964. 'Exactly Like You' was older still, a jazz standard first heard in the 1930 musical International Revue, which also gave the world 'On The Sunny Side Of The Street' by the same writers, Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields. " 'Exactly Like You' is what I would call a standard song done in the Doris Troy way," said Doris in '92. "That's gospel."
'You Tore Me Up Inside' and 'Don't Call Me No More' were two songs written, but not recorded, prior to Doris' signing to Apple. Both were collaborations with New York blues guitarist Ray Schinnery. Again, the songwriting was lyric-led. Says Ray today: "I remember we were sittin' talkin' at the table and a conversation just came up about how people can be vicious and cruel when they know that the other party is attracted to 'em. It was like, boy, if they had any idea about what they did. About one such incident I remember saying, 'You know Doris, that tore me up inside'. And she said, 'Now there's a title', and from there the song developed. It took about 20 minutes."
" 'Don't Call Me No More' was part of the same situation," continues Ray. "What would you do if you ran into these people again? We were both really locked on the same level with these two songs. We both felt exactly that way. We just talked about our feelings, so 'Don't Call Me No More' was like an extension of 'You Tore Me Up Inside'."
Long-serving soul music writer David Nathan was a lifetime friend of Doris, and he counts her among the soulful diva élite, alongside Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin and Diana Ross. "Doris was a very kind, warm human being. Very inclusive," says David. "She loved this album. She was very proud of it. When it was finished, she couldn't wait for me to hear it. She was thrilled to be associated with Apple and The Beatles. She thought it was a big deal that she as an American R&B artist had been chosen to be part of Apple's roster.
"Doris Troy is certainly her most personal work," David Nathan concludes. "In that sense you could say that it is her best album. It is so reflective of who she was at the time."
Added to the five bonus tracks from the 1992 CD reissue of Doris Troy is a previously unreleased version of 'All That I've Got (I'm Gonna Give To You)', co-written by Doris and Billy Preston, and originally released as Billy's third Apple single in 1970. This is a different, funkier take than Track 14.
Initially to be found on the B-side of 'Jacob's Ladder' was 'Get Back', Doris' tribute to The Beatles. "I loved that version," she said in '92. "I wanted to make it as soulful as I possibly could."
Other bonus tracks include 'Vaya Con Dios', the B-side to 'Ain't That Cute', and two original Doris compositions that remained unreleased until 1992, 'Dearest Darling' and 'What You Will Blues', which, essentially, is an instrumental version of 'Give Me Back My Dynamite' with ad-lib vocals.

I am totally baffled ... the newest Rasmussen poll out this AM (which now includes the 2nd POTUS debate) shows Romney 49, Obama 46 ... yet on Benghazi Obama only got 35% approval. The news I was watching did not break down the other ratings.
They were also reporting that there was a drone overhead at the time of the attack that saw the attack ... yet no military assistance was dispatched to help.
The feeling I get is that this POTUS does not know how to be decisive in an emergency situation.

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Lafayette County supervisors voted 5-0 Monday to have the county's Planning Commission draft an ordinance that would require builders to meet standard building codes for commercial and subdivision construction.
Planning Commission Chairman T.J. Ray cited insufficient plumbing and structural weakness as problems that code-based inspections would help prevent.
"We need this," he said. "We want developers and builders in the conversation."
Supervisor Chad McLarty agreed.
"I fully support building codes in subdivisions and commercial property," he said. "I've seen too many of our constituents buy homes that weren't built to standards."
Supervisor Robert Blackmon said he'd had constituents complain that banks wouldn't finance houses without the proof that building codes and inspections would offer. Realtor Dick Marchbanks, who is also a member of the Planning Commission, said people moving in from other states expect a house to be code-certified. Gary Coleman concurred.
"When we're selling a house to somebody in New York … they want to know these houses are built to code," Coleman said. "It's going to get very difficult to sell a house that isn't inspected and isn't built to code."
The proposed ordinance will not affect homes or outbuildings outside of subdivisions.

Betty joined our family last September, and we cannot imagine that we ever lived without her.
She is a stocky bundle of joy. Betty is like no other dog. She loves sprawling on her bed with her four feet out, snoring loudly most hours of the day. She is also constantly on the lookout for a playmate, pushing her ball against your leg until you throw it.
Finally, she spends a good portion of the day wondering about the cat, putting on her cutest expression and trying to make a new friend. Alas, Charlie the cat has not yet accepted her, but in the meantime Betty enjoys a good chase the cat around the house every afternoon before feeding time. She is also the most gentle and kindest dog around. She sure loves munching on her bones, but you can literally take a bone right of her mouth, without raising her anger. She is fiercely loyal and protective of her family.
Though she is certainly stoic in her emotions, each time one of us walks through the door she does the "shake." This consists of her shaking her whole body spastically as she doesn't quite have a tail to wag. Betty is a huge presence in our family and our love for her has no limits. We look forward to many more full and happy years with her!

Ocean Bully
Why It Matters
Could one fish from your aquarium turn an entire ocean ecosystem on its head?
Scientists are currently following the population growth and distribution of lionfish as they invade the Caribbean and Atlantic Oceans and are very concerned! Watch this:
Why are scientists so concerned about lionfish being introduced into these oceans? How are they impacting the ocean ecosystem? How are they affecting humans?
Explore More
- Use this NOAA site to dig a little deeper: http://www.ccfhr.noaa.gov/stressors/lionfish.aspx
- Identify marine organisms that are producers, 1st level, 2nd level, and 3rd level consumers currently in the Atlantic ocean ecosystem
- Draw a diagram that shows the flow of energy through this ecosystem
- Identify which parts of this diagram are in jeopardy of being affected by the growth of the lionfish population
- How does the growth of the lionfish population in the Atlantic Ocean affect us? What can we do to improve the situation? Here are a few examples to get you started:
- Invasive species affecting local ecosystems is not rare. Here are two other current scenarios identifying invasive species affecting the local ecosystem and human economy:
- Using either the Lionfish in the Atlantic case study, the Lake Tahoe case study, or the Great Lakes case study, hold a town meeting with your classmates. Identify stakeholders in the town (local businesses, environmentalists, community members, fishermen, restaurants, etc.) and decide what action your town should take.

These are the Marshall's/Dollar General Joes, no?
These are the Marshall's/Dollar General Joes, no?
Those are the Dollar General ones (Wave 1). Marshalls has been getting Wave 2, the repaints (blue Cobra Commander, blue Cobra Trooper, green-and-black Snake Eyes, orange Storm Shadow (essentially the vintage T'gin-Tzu figure under a different name), olive Shipwreck, and Duke who's a slightly greyer shade of olive).
Seeing multiple online merchants getting Wave 1, though, gives me hope for finding Wave 2 if Marshalls continues to have absolutely nothing around here.
That's my jacket!
This year's SDCC exclusive set looks AMAZING! I look forward to being frustrated in my attempts to acquire one this year.
Oh. My. Frickin'. God.
That is gorgeous!!
Hound and Snake Eyes are a little "meh," but the rest, holy snot. Is that a new sculpt of Baroness, or a gorgeous kitbash? Jetfire is amazing. But Bludgeon, damn, that is an inspired repaint that comes out INCREDIBLE!
As I'll be on the other side of the country during Comic-Con, I'm going to start begging Californians to help me get one right now.
And, if I can't get one, if there's anyone who does but doesn't want the Bludgeon, I'd be happy to take him off your hands.
That's my jacket!
I'll be waking up super early to get in line for that set! Unfortunately that means I won't be offering an extra set to you, Maradona.
I'll be there with you, FB. I only want one of these this year, as there isn't really an army builder here like there was last year. Thursday will either be a good day or one that will live in infamy for us Joe collectors.
I'm surprised that there isn't a 3 3/4" Marvel Universe exclusive or an actual Transformer. At this point, my SDCC "exclusive" wants are the Joe set, maybe the Marvel Legends set, the DC Collectibles Sinestro pack, Hugo Strange, and that's it - save for Lego, which I am sad to have decided to collect. $50 for the Star Wars set is just too much. I picked up last year's Jem doll on a whim, so maybe this one too, but I'm not aching for the exclusives in the way I have been in previous years. I already preordered the Mattel exclusives, so hopefully the year's toy acquisitions are more accessible.
It's an amazing-looking set, but both a VAMP and a Sky Striker? This is going to be verrrrrry expensive. I wonder why they didn't do a KRE-O exclusive GI Joe set, that would have been perfect.
I'm very surprised there's not an announcement on a Transformers exclusive, I'm hoping the rumors of Metroplex in G1 colors are true and they're just holding back, but it's pretty late to have a surprise like that.
LEGO con exclusives are the most disgusting, unfair things, totally unrewarding value and system.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Target clearance, and it appears to be widespread (since at least one friend in another city has reported this as well). Figures and bikes are $6.48 (which is a full 50% off the bikes, and, given that there was no interim markdown, it makes me think those were truly rotting on shelves and it wasn't just too many at the stores near me). The two scales of larger vehicles had clearance tags on the shelves, but there were none there, so I didn't see how much. The only things that didn't appear to be on clearance were the 3-packs.
It's a little sad to see this already. Doesn't bode well at all for the future.
Still, I finally got all three bikes, since the price was about right for a small motorcycle with an essentially useless pilot figure. (If one of them were a new character or an army builder of some sort, it wouldn't be that big a deal, even with the crappy pre-posed sculpt.) No figures that I didn't have, but I'll definitely snatch the second carded versions of Roadblock, Snake Eyes, and Storm Shadow at that price. (Maybe Firefly as well, for the head and the sled thingy, though Flint may have to wait for another drop.)
That's my jacket!
There were a lot of clearance tags in the toy aisle at Target. They are certainly cleaning house.
