thank you so much Toni! You made my day!
I'm nominating this beautiful layout by MissParker: http://gallery.gingerscraps.net/show...hp?photo=74441 What she's done with the photo here is just amazing!
This page by scrappydoo82 caught my eye. The picture is beautiful and the elements make it feel dainty to me. I really like the way the paperstacks frame the picture out too.

As we reported here, designer Rachel Roy and basketball player Amare Stoudemire have been rumored to be collaborating on a line for a while.
Today they confirmed the rumor to Women's Wear Daily , telling them what we can expect from their line :
Roy says, "I am channeling a girl that goes to sporting events…She goes to basketball events or maybe football events. She needs something that is modern, something that represents her in a way that doesn't look like it just came out of a sporting goods shop…I think I would like to teach girls that you don't necessarily have to wear high heels to watch sports, but you can be casually chic." Hmm, I wonder who she could be referring to…
About the collaboration, Amare added, "I pretty much let her drive the car and I am just being the maintenance man. Basketball is a natural thing for me, and I have been playing basketball as long as I can remember, but designing is new to me. I never had to pick out sketches."
Should be interesting. The collection will be available in select Macy's, with prices ranging from $45-$250.
Does it sound like something you would rock?

I am so excited about this I can't even tell you. I'm a big sports and fashion fan. I've played sports all of my life and have an eye for great fashion. What better combination for a girl like me that frequents sporting events?!?! I'm excited! (wait I said that already but you get my drift!)
Hell No… Im not buying this.. and whats good with that Love and Basketball Logo? On the other hand… I am a woman who is not into sports so this is not targeted towards me.
I LOVE sports, football in particular. I'm curious to see what they think I should be wearing LOL
Not at all. I like my Jerseys, Team Graphic Tees & HEELS! =)
I am excited also. I am a HUGE sports fan, and love fashion as well. And I too believe that you dont have to look like you are about to go to the club when you are going to watch a game. I understand wanting to look nice, but there is a time and a place for everything, lol.
Dear Claire: PLEASE post some pieces/looks when they become available (I already know you will ;)
p.s. This site is AMAZING…you (as well as the other contributors) keep up the good work!

Does Rachel Roy really sketch or does she really just puts her name on all of this??
i'd have to see it first, but anything would be better then wearing full on club gear to a b-ball game (angela simmons).
This should be interesting…I'm not sold yet. Now all the celebs will have something to wear to the games without ppl complaining that they're overdressed.
i think this is an interesting point of view. i never know what to wear to a sporting event. you want to be in between lezzy and groupie.
This is a market that has been untouched. Alyssa Milano (from Who's the Boss) had a line that was similar to this, but it never got much press. Looking forward to this line…
Interesting to see what the line is going to offer. Great concept. Amare is probably annoyed at all the celebs and groupies wearing looking like overdressed clowns @ games..
Beyond pumped. This is sooo me, Fashion + Sports! I'm really interested to see what the line will look like. Already a fan of Rachel's work! Yay! <3
Curious to see what they come up with.. Won't be buying a logo tee, I know that! LOL
Can Rachel smile get any wider?
It's so obvious Anna Wintour is the silent hand behind this curious collaboration.
I don't get it. Just wear sum jeans and a oversized top w/flat boots. I really don't get it…smh
I think it's a cute idea and am curious to see the line. Maybe it will stop these people from going to games in Louboutins which is beyond ridiculous to me.
I am anxious to see actual pieces not just sketches. I love Rachel Roy's designs so Im excited to see how this will turn out; especially that trench look.
Maybe these females that have suddenly become sideline accessories will learn to dress for the games and realize its not the same attire as what you'd wear to a club.
Please God dont let her bring out that jersey that ties on the side. That was so 10 years ago!!

The Tribeca Film Festival has unveiled a big batch of their 2013 slate, including the World Documentary, Feature Competition, Viewpoints, Spotlight, Midnight and Storyscape
This year's festival will include 53 world premieres and 35 directorial debuts. The movies range from "Big Men," a Brad Pitt-produced documentary about African oil-drilling execs, to "Bluebird," a feature set in a Maine logging town that "is a perfect encapsulation of the interconnectedness of life." "Big Men" will open the World Documentary Feature Competition and "Bluebird" will open the World Narrative Competition. Both premiere on April 18th. Other notable films include the documentary "Red Obsession" about Bordeaux wine, narrated by Russell Crowe, "Sunlight, Jr." starring Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon who face minimum wage jobs and unexpected circumstances, a nonfiction portrait of Oscar-winning Michael Haneke titled "Michael H. Profession: Director," and the crowd-funded "Stand Clear of the Closing Doors" about a mother and her autistic son during the days leading up to Hurricane Sandy.
Coming in from overseas is the tantalizing Jean Dujardin thriller "Mobius" as well the hotly buzzed Irish film "What Richard Did" featuring new "Transformers 4" star Jack Reynor. Festival hits making a stop at Tribeca include: Richard Linklater's "Before Midnight," David Gordon Green's "Prince Avalanche," Ramin Bahrani's "At Any Price," Neil Jordan's "Byzantium" and more. Other titles to keep an eye on: the John Cusack and Emma Roberts-starring "Adult World"; "A Case Of You" with Justin Long, Evan Rachel Wood and Vince Vaughn; Phil Morrison's "Almost Christmas" with Paul Rudd and Paul Giamatti among many others.
This year's Tribeca is for the cinema enthusiasts with an appreciation for global and personal storytelling and who won't mind the occasional celebrity appearance. The festival runs from April 17-28.
World Narrative and Documentary Competition
This year, 12 narrative and 12 documentary features making their North American, International, or World Premieres will compete for cash prizes totaling $180,000, as well as artwork from the Artists Awards program sponsored by Chanel, featuring donated work from renowned artists including Stephen Hannock, Robert Longo, William Wegman and Dustin Yellin.
The complete list of films selected for the World Narrative Feature and World Documentary Competition is as follows:
World Narrative Feature Competition
World Documentary Feature Competition
· Aatsinki: The Story of Arctic Cowboys, directed and written by Jessica Oreck. (Finland) – World Premiere. In the forests of Finnish Lapland, brothers Aarne and Lasse Aatsinki carry on the generations-old tradition of reindeer herding. These modern cowboys maintain an intricate bond with the environment that has allowed them to preserve their lifestyle in one of the harshest climates imaginable. Jessica Oreck's intimate, gorgeously lensed documentary follows the brothers for a year, sharing in the hard work, daily rituals and small joys that make up life above the Arctic Circle. In Finnish with subtitles.
· Alias Ruby Blade: A Story of Love and Revolution, directed by Alex Meillier, written by Tanya Ager Meillier and Meillier. (USA) – North American Premiere. Kirsty Sword Gusmão went to Timor-Leste to document injustice in an area closed to Western journalists. Over the next decade, she became the lynchpin that sustained the nation's harrowing struggle for independence and met the man who would redefine the cause for which she was fighting. Using astonishing footage of the years-long resistance, director Alex Meillier presents a highly personal account of the courage needed to create a new democracy in modern times.
· Big Men, directed by Rachel Boynton, written by Rachel Boynton. (USA) – World Premiere. For her latest industrial exposé, Rachel Boynton (Our Brand Is Crisis) gained unprecedented access to Africa's oil companies. The result is a gripping account of the costly personal tolls levied when American corporate interests pursue oil in places like Ghana and the Niger River Delta. Executive produced by Steven Shainberg and Brad Pitt, Big Men investigates the caustic blend of ambition, corruption and greed that threatens to exacerbate Africa's resource curse. In English, Other, Twi with subtitles.
· The Genius of Marian, directed by Banker White and Anna Fitch. (USA) – World Premiere. Weaving past into present, filmmakers Banker White (Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars) and Anna Fitch immerse the audience in the daily life of White's mother, Pam. Her Alzheimer's threatens to wipe out the memory of her own mother, Marian, a celebrated artist who died of the same disease. Beautifully edited, The Genius of Marian retraces both women's lives to paint a complex and powerful contemporary portrait of motherhood, chronic illness and legacy.
· The Kill Team, directed by Dan Krauss, written by Lawrence Lerew, Linda Davis and Krauss. (USA) – World Premiere. In 2010, the media branded a platoon of U.S. Army infantry soldiers "The Kill Team" following reports of its killing for sport in Afghanistan. Now, one of the accused must fight the government he defended on the battlefield, while grappling with his own role in the alleged murders. Dan Krauss's absorbing documentary examines the stories of four men implicated in heinous war crimes in a stark reminder that, in war, innocence may be relative to the insanity around you.
· Let the Fire Burn, directed by Jason Osder. (USA) – World Premiere. Jason Osder makes an impressive feature film debut through his unbiased and thorough account of the incidents leading up to and during the 1985 standoff between the extremist African-American organization MOVE and Philadelphia authorities. The dramatic clash claimed eleven lives and literally and figuratively devastated an entire community. Let the Fire Burn is a real-life Wild West story absent the luxury of identifying its heroes by the color of their hats.
· Michael H. Profession: Director, directed and written by Yves Montmayeur. (Austria, France) – World Premiere. Over the past twenty-five years, director Michael Haneke has established himself as a towering figure in modern cinema whose rigorous focus on the craft of filmmaking has produced works of profound artistry. This career-spanning documentary (gives unprecedented access and) covers the body of Haneke's work, offering insight into his creative process through on-set footage and interviews with the man himself and collaborators including Emmanuelle Riva, Isabelle Huppert and Juliette Binoche. In French, German with subtitles.
· Oxyana, directed by Sean Dunne. (USA) – World Premiere. Oceana, West Virginia—known as "Oxyana" after its residents' epidemic abuse of OxyContin—is a tragically real example of the insidious spread of drug dependency throughout the country. Set against an abandoned coal mining landscape to the melodies of Deer Tick's haunting score, this unflinchingly intimate documentary probes the lives of Oceana's afflicted and exposes the day-to-day experience of a town living in the harsh grip of addiction.
· Powerless (Katiyabaaz), directed by Fahad Mustafa, Deepti Kakkar, written by Mustafa. (India) – North American Premiere. Would you risk your life to flip a switch? In Kanpur, India, putting oneself in harm's way to deliver electrical power is all too common. Powerless sheds light on the opposing corners of this political ring, from an electrical Robin Hood tapping wires for neighbors to the myopic utility company whose failure to understand economics forces it deeper into financial disarray. This vibrant exposé gives a whole new meaning to the words "power struggle." In English, Hindi with subtitles.
· Raw Herring (Hollandse Nieuwe), directed by Leonard Retel Helmrich and Hetty Naaijkens-Retel Helmrich. (Netherlands) – World Premiere. Every year millions of people look forward to the first preparation of Hollandse Nieuwe, the popular snack of raw herring from the North Sea's spring catch. But how do you find glory in the grueling pursuit of a once-iconic fish that even the queen no longer accepts as definitively Dutch? Raw Herring celebrates the cultural legacy maintained by Holland's last great herring fishers even as new trends and foreign competition threaten their way of life. In Dutch with subtitles.
· Red Obsession, directed and written by David Roach and Warwick Ross. (Australia) – North American Premiere. France's Bordeaux region has long commanded respect for its coveted wine, but shifts in the global marketplace mean that a new, voracious consumer base in China is buying up this finite product. Bordeaux both struggles with and courts the spike in demand, sending prices skyrocketing. Narrated by Russell Crowe, Red Obsession is a fascinating look at our changing international economy and how an obsession in Shanghai affects the most illustrious vineyards in France. In English, Mandarin with subtitles.
· Teenage, directed by Matt Wolf, written by Jon Savage and Wolf. (USA) – World Premiere. Teenagers did not exist before the 20th century. Not until the early 1950s did the term gain widespread recognition, but with Teenage, Matt Wolf offers compelling evidence that "teenagers" had a tumultuous effect on the previous half-decade. Narrated by actors Jena Malone, Ben Whishaw, Julia Hummer and Jesse Usher, this fascinating documentary repositions the historical origin of teenagers and shows why those years are more than just a stepping-stone to adulthood. In English, German with subtitles.

Dear Ms. Drumm:
I came across your article when seeking suggestions for which Tribeca Film Festival screenings to attend. As a result I picked up tickets for "Bluebird", "Sunlight, Jr.", "Prince Avalanche", "Byzantium", all of which I can say were wonderful movies in their own right. I also have "Mobius" in store to which I have no doubt I'll enjoy simply based on your suggestion. Thank you very much for your part in making my first Tribeca Film Festival so memorable!

I've never been to a bar in town, so I have no response!
It's a small school so the parties are usually held in frat houses and off-capus houses
Parties are rather boring when you are a sober student.
There is a public bus that students can use for free, but it only runs 3 days a week at certain times and it only goes to Walmart, the grocery store, and the movies. It's a really small town with no clubs. The best entertainment is on-campus at Greek parties and the weekly Friday events that happen at the student center, such as comedians and live bands.
It's okay if you know the right people-particularly fraternities.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Katrina Tulloch
Freshmen can go to house parties or do something entirely different, like go to Meadville's theater or bowling alley. In order to have a vibrant social life as an underclassman, you'll have to start meeting people through classes and getting invited to their parties. There are some good parties at Allegheny, but nothing loud or out of control because the cops live for busting underage drinkers and loud parties. Campus Security won't bother you, but the cops sure will if an angry neighbor calls it in.
For upperclassmen, the nightlife is the bars. There are a lot of different bars, but the one you'll go to will probably depend on who you're going with and what kind of atmosphere you like. Pennsylvania has really strict drinking laws; you won't be able to even go into the bar until you turn 21. However, the bars are a good scene to go to, and since Allegheny is so small, there's a good chance that you'll know everyone there. The Other Place (also known as The Penny Bar) is the most popular with students for its $2 beers.
The Penny Bar is a favorite place to hang out with friends and drink cheaply. Its name comes from the fact that the walls, bar, and most of the interior are covered in pennies. Inside there is even a Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial built entirely out of pennies. They have the cheapest pitchers in town, free ham salad sandwiches on Tuesdays, free popcorn on Fridays, and the best pickled eggs you could ever imagine. There is a free pool table, a pool table you have to pay for, pingpong, and board games. There is also food, which includes spam sandwiches, chips, ham sandwiches, Kielbasa sandwiches, and a soup du jour.
212 W. Steers St.
(814) 724-2155
Otter's is best known around campus for being where the band of professors play. A lot of students go to Otter's just to see the band and often other forms of live music, as well. Otter's also has several dartboards and a pool table.
257 Chestnut St.
(814) 336-1340
There is a restaurant downstairs and a bar upstairs. The building used to be the town fire station, and it still has a firehouse theme. There are pool tables and a dartboard, too.
875 Park Ave.
(814) 724-3646
Chippers is known by all students for their food and $0.50 wing nights. There are pool tables and darts, and they have an excellent selection of bottled imports, domestics, and microbrews.
253 Chestnut St.
(814) 333-2122
There is a sports atmosphere, with dancing and a DJ, and live music on the weekends. They also have pool tables and daily specials.
272 Chestnut St.
(814) 336-2030
House parties are the biggest form of nightlife at Allegheny and really the only thing available for people under 21. Loomis Street is famous for its rowdy parties and so are some special-interest houses. Off-campus parties are usually the best because there is less chance of it getting busted. Only upperclassmen really throw house parties, largely because they are the only ones with houses.

Don't look now, but the fledgling United Football League is making headlines. Can it fill the void that the NFL has left in our world?
Given all the labor issues, we open up discussion as to whether fans would consider supporting the UFL in the event of a continued NFL lockout.
If Barber wants to make a comeback, he should consider Jim Fassell's offer to join the UFL.

From the press release: "Commissioner Huyghue also announced that the Tuskers' game against the Las Vegas Locomotives on October 30th will be played at Tropicana Field, home of the Rays, and that the Rays have reached an agreement in principle to acquire an interest in the UFL's Florida franchise.

The new face of the United Football league appears to be JP Losman. Where will this league end up?

The UFL had it's inaugural draft last night and several players had ties to the Arizona Cardinals.

Published on Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 at 11:50 a.m.
Things have gotten downright dirty in the Republican primary for governor of California.
In a web-only video ad, Steve Poizner essentially accused his opponent Meg Whitman of peddling smut. The ad says that as the CEO of eBay, "Whitman started a separate division that only sells porn."
It's true that Whitman created a separate division for eBay that sells porn, but it wasn't a case of Whitman introducing a new product line. Rather, it was a good faith effort to limit the online auction of adult material to adults by requiring registration and credit card verification. That's a big difference. And we rated Poizner's claim Half True.

Marc Jacobs International is pleased to announce the publication of "The Men + Women of Marc Jacobs" - a 300 page self-published book, featuring the photographs of Brian Bowen Smith. The book is the culmination of a multi-year project featuring photographs of the Marc Jacobs family.
Robert Duffy, President of Marc Jacobs, and Brian Bowen Smith have been friends for many years and have collaborated before in numerous ways including the "Protect the Skin You're In" t-shirt project that supports the NYU Cancer Institute. According to Smith, the idea for "The Men and Women of Marc Jacobs" was simple: "I wanted to take pictures of the 'kids' that work at Marc Jacobs and produce a photo book. These kids have style and are cool. I knew I would love meeting and collaborating with each one of them and I did!"
All proceeds from this book benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Visit their website here.

Volition stole everything it could for Saints Row IV, and the result is game that bathes in fun
The Saints Row series has always been more about having fun than creating a serious game, although the amount of content in Saints Row III wasn't created by messing around. Some game series are scared of being seen as stealing content or ideas from other franchises, and others feel the need to constantly innovate when it comes to features or social connectivity; even if these are things that players may not actually want. Saints Row IV, on the other hand, is concerned about tone and fun above all else.
And boy oh boy is Volition not afraid to just straight-up steal everything that isn't bolted down. The game doesn't really contain homages to the open world genre, it just kind of lifts everything that worked well from its predecessors. This has led to the creation of a game that is incredibly fun to play, familiar in feel, and somehow joyful. Volition takes and takes and takes, and to make up for it they give as much as they can to the player.
You are the President, and a captive
It's hard to talk about why the tone and feel of the game is so successful without giving things away. I laughed out loud multiple times in the first thirty minutes of the game, and that insane pace of humor and references doesn't seem to let up. You begin the game as the sort of POTUS that doesn't mind punching someone in the dick, or picking up a machine gun to directly address an alien threat.
You're the President that had red, white, and blue missile batteries installed on the White House lawn, and you're also the kind of President who wants to man those damned things personally, leading to a clever little Space Invaders joke.
The character creation screens are also filled with jokes, gags, and a variety of jabs at video games themselves. Your voice options? Woman one through three, Man one through three, or Nolan North. Because of course.
All this humor hides a game that allows you to be whoever you want, and to look however you want. If you're a stocky African American woman, you can make yourself. If you want to add piercings and dress up in women's clothing, who cares? Saints Row IV wants you to have fun, and it doesn't judge that fun. The game is a space in which you can play, and the results can be amazing. My character, at the time of writing, is a black shadow with scan lines moving over his body, looking like a completely digital creation. That fits the theme.
You fail to fight off the aliens in the opening portions of the game, you see, and their leader puts you into a computer simulation that's meant to keep you busy. Your first job is to bust out of the faux-1950's Leave it to Beaver setting the aliens use to keep you happy, and then you're back in the dystopian city you know and love, although all evidence of the Saints have been erased. That means no safe houses, no equipment, and no owned property. You're on your own, at least at first.
The designers at Volition have lost whatever tiny grasp they had on reality now that the game takes place inside a virtual world. You track down disturbances in the program, they look like little pillars of code, and collect them the same way you collected agility orbs in the Crackdown series. These give you the ability to upgrade what amount to super powers; you can run faster than the vehicles, and jump a few stories straight up, and you can link these powers together to explore and conquer the city on foot.
You can hold the "N" button when you're in a car to add it to your virtual collection, to spawn later. The character Kinzie talks you through your time in the simulation, and she gives you the paper-thin justifications for all this craziness to be happening within the context of the game. When "Opposites Attract" comes on the in-game radio station, you try to talk Kinzie into singing the cat's part. Because it's fun.
The regenerating health of Saints Row the Third has been replaced by enemies that spit out health pickups when you kill them, and this gives you much more of a fighting chance when jumping into mobs of enemies. Now it's not quite as easy to be overwhelmed as long as you keep moving and using your weapons well. You can also sprint out of bad situations, or jump away. You'll fighting monstrous wardens, and if you win you jump into them, stealing their powers. The animations and staging of these sequences are taken from the Matrix movies.
I haven't even begun to play in co-op, but it's impossible to explore this world without laughing. There is nothing about the game that takes itself seriously, and the mechanics are all set up to allow you to have the maximum amount of fun in the game. There is no sense of aesthetic or story that needs to be protected, if a fun idea popped up during development, it was thrown in the game. That's how the dubstep gun happened. Trying to track down all the jokes and references is half the fun, and if one doesn't land there is always another joke right around the corner.
This is an unholy mixture of The Matrix, Crackdown, Grand Theft Auto, inFamous, and pretty much anything else that had a good idea that could be copies and added to the stew. The game doesn't feel malicious in any way, the team at Volition has simply stolen all the fun bits from games and popular culture of the past twenty years or so, and stripped away all the bullshit. What's left is a game that's remarkably free of of the stuff that bogs games down, with all the good parts intact. I can't wait to play the full version.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) -- An adviser to Ivory Coast's president says a plane carrying four African presidents that was going to Bamako to negotiate with the junta that seized power in Mali last week is now headed back to Abidjan, Ivory Coast, with the heads of state aboard.
The adviser says he could not explain why the plane with the presidents aboard turned around. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not permitted to speak to the press.
Presidents from Ivory Coast, Benin, Niger and Burkina Faso were to meet with the army captain that led the coup last week. The West African bloc, ECOWAS, is threatening military force if Capt. Amadou Haya Sanogo doesn't step down.

Every spring I look forward to browsing the antiques and crafts for sale at the annual Red Barn Market in Brocton in Edgar County.
Since the barn sale is always on the first Friday and Saturday in April, sometimes Mother Nature doesn't cooperate. In past years, shoppers and vendors have had to bundle up in winter coats to keep warm and protect themselves from the bitterly cold wind whipping across the prairie. This year, however, the weather was pleasantly sunny and warm.
The Red Barn Market has been gaining in popularity over its 13 years. Vendors sell their wares outside on the grounds and inside the giant horse barn.
I am particularly fond of the Red Barn Market because usually there are local vendors selling local antiques.
A few years ago I found some Plaut Dairy Farms milk bottle caps from Danville at the barn sale.
This year's barn sale find is a real treasure, though. I was inside the horse barn in a line that was snaking through the vendor booths, which actually are horse stalls, when I could see it in the distance.
I could make out only the letters "ucers" on the wax paper cottage cheese container, but I was really hoping that it was a Producers Dairy cottage cheese container from Danville.
I tried to contain my excitement as the line slowly crept along and approached the shelf on which the container was perched.
Finally, yes, the words "Producers" came into sight and as I snapped up the container from the shelf, the lid had the exact words I was looking for: "Producers Dairy Co., Danville, Ill."
Hooray! Yet another bit of nostalgic advertising from Danville to be displayed with my large collection of Grab-It-Here and Peyton-Palmer spice tins and Marvel fruit cans. I have a Joan of Arc kidney bean can from Hoopeston, too.
I must say, I love this container of Producers sweet creamed cottage cheese (empty, of course). For starters, the Producers' cow is way cuter than Borden's Elsie. And the phrase "every curd flavor filled" is enticing.
The price stamp is still visible, too. Only 49 cents for a 2-pound container of large curd cottage cheese. Wow! In trying to figure out what era this container came from, a coworker made an interesting observation. There isn't any expiration date on the container. Maybe way back when people used common sense and a sniff test?
Does anybody remember this style of cottage cheese container from Producers Dairy or what era it's from? If you do, please let me know.
Aromatic stores
Arlene Jaynes of Danville shared her memories of the Berkowitz Luggage store and another former downtown retailer, Stumme Tea Co.
In the early 1950s, Jaynes worked in the Chamber of Commerce office above the Sniders store.
"I often would go into the Berkowitz store on my lunch hour and looked at their beautiful leather purses, but I don't remember ever having enough money to purchase one," she lamented.
"I still remember smelling the aroma of the fine leather upon entering the store," she said.
Another aromatic place in the same block of North Vermilion Street as Berkowitz was Stumme Tea Co.
According to a 1945 city directory, Stumme Tea Co., 121 N. Vermilion St., was run by Fred and Louis Stumme.
"They sold ground coffee and glassware," Jaynes said of Stumme.
Jaynes said in 1949 she was working for the University of Illinois after graduating from Fairmount High School and riding the interurban back and forth to Champaign-Urbana, when she bought a beautiful pitcher and glass set for her mother, Georgia Howard, as a Christmas present from Stumme Tea Co.
"My neighbor Viola Catlett of Fairmount took it to her home to hide until Christmas," she recalled.
"I still have the set and will give it to a granddaughter someday," Jaynes said. "The whole set is still very nice."
Does anyone else remember Stumme Tea Co.? Please contact me and share your memories.

A Central Texas woman has been charged for a December wreck that killed her nine-year-old daughter. Mirelia Meza is accused of rigging a home-made trailer hitch that caused a four car pile-up on Interstate 35 in Lorena.
Her daughter Isabelle was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. Investigators also found that Meza was driving without a valid license.
She was later arrested at the Mexican border, trying to re-enter the United States. Meza will spend the next five years in prison, followed by ten years probation for two felony counts of injury to a child.

NPR Anchor Insists Obama's No Socialist In Jonah Goldberg Interview
By Tim Graham | May 03, 2012 | 16:42
Jonah Goldberg was probably delighted with a more than six-minute interview on NPR's Morning Edition on Wednesday to promote his book "The Tyranny of Cliches." True to his book, Goldberg presented himself on NPR's airwaves as a conservative. That's not what happened on Monday's Morning Edition, when liberals Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein pretended to stand only for facts and science and conventional wisdom. '
Anchor Steve Inskeep actually stuck to the book's thesis, unlike CNN's bizarre Piers Morgan performance. But when Goldberg underlined how there is no such conservative grouping as the social Darwinists, Inskeep claimed there's "probably more evidence" Republicans are social Darwinists than there is for Obama being a socialist:
INSKEEP: Although I'm sure that there are people who can say 'Well, if you guys can call President Obama a socialist, he's certainly able to call you a social Darwinist.' There's probably more evidence for the latter than the former.
GOLDBERG: Well, to a certain extent, sure. And then you have to have an argument about it.
Goldberg was, by my lights, a little too civil in reply. But then, I believe NPR anchors should be exposed as liberals every time they ask a loaded question like this one. Obama can nationalize several car companies and pass almost a trillion dollars in "stimulus" money and pass a plan to heavily regulate the health-care system, but that's "probably less" proof of socialism than it's "social Darwinism" for Republicans to propose defunding, say, NPR or Planned Parenthood.
Inskeep is only exposing the irony: liberal journalists are perpetually outraged by a socialist label on Obama, but Obama can call Republicans a pack of social Darwinists, and they apparently consider that fair and accurate rhetoric.
Inskeep also insisted that if Goldberg thinks the Left tries to shut down arguments with cliches, that conservatives have shut-up cliches, like, you know, appeals to patriotism:
INSKEEP: Well, let's be fair. There are plenty of conservative labels that are applied -- on the rivals of conservatives. We could go back to the past administration: "You're with us or against us; are you with America, or are you with the other guys?" There are plenty of rhetorical devices that are used to shut down debate on the other side, to make it -- to not just appeal for unity, but to make it seem unpatriotic if you don't agree.
GOLDBERG: Yeah, no. And some of these things, I absolutely agree. I think that there is something endemic. One of the reasons why some of these cliches appeal -- why they have power, why they move men -- is because they appeal to the hard-wiring in our human nature; that we're all built from the crooked timber of humanity. We all want to live in groups. We all want to live in tribes. We all want to, you know, band together and do good things.
The best part of the segment came at the end, where Goldberg whacked the liberal bias of the media and academia as Inskeep tried to suggest Goldberg was wildly overgeneralizing with that old Ronald Reagan cliche that government is the problem, not the solution:
INSKEEP: So you're opposed to these catchphrases that substitute for arguments. You're opposing making too many assumptions. I want to ask about one that is commonly said on the right, though: Government is the problem - said again and again. In fact, you imagined - I think, in September of last year - a speech that you wished that President Obama would give, and the last sentence was: Government is the problem. Is that an oversimplification? I mean, you're not against having a government.
GOLDBERG: No, I'm not against having a government. Yeah, and it's - I don't know, actually, if that qualifies as the kind of cliche that I am talking about, because one of the - sort of things I try to unite all the cliches in the book around are ones that have this sort of progressive bias towards a certain understanding of the role of the state, and all of the rest. And I'm sure a liberal could come up with a whole bunch of conservative cliches that go the other way.
But you're never taught in schools -- we don't teach anyone in public schools that government is the problem. We don't teach anyone in college that government is the problem -- except maybe a handful of sort of unique, conservative schools. But mainstream media never talks as if government is the problem. You never hear that repeated over and over again -- even on Fox, to a certain extent. And so it's a catchphrase, to be sure, and it's a glib catchphrase that oversimplifies things. But the context in which I was talking about it was -- was that Ronald Reagan had said, in the current context - in the current situation, government is the problem, not the solution. And that is a - it is the beginning of a serious argument.
Exactly. Modern liberalism begins with the notion that government's job is not to insure certain inalienable rights. It's to solve social problems. Reagan's speech was suggesting the irony that while liberals say government is in business to solve problems, it often creates more problems than it solves.
#1 I find the 'social Darwinism' label interesting

We need to turn it on them, perhaps like this . . .
LEFTY: You're a social Darwinist!
CONSERVATIVE: Do you trust the science?
LEFTY: Of course. Don't you believe in climate change? I do.
CONSERVATIVE: Then you do you believe in evolution?
LEFTY: Yes, of course.
CONSERVATIVE: Okay, then you accept Darwin's Theory, am I right?
LEFTY: Naturally.
CONSERVATIVE: So, survival of the fittest is the natural order of living organisms, particularly in the animal kingdom.
LEFTY: Uh, well, not when it comes to human beings.
CONSERVATIVE: Are you suggesting that human beings are not subject to Darwinism because they aren't animals?
LEFTY: Well, we're animals, but we don't practice social Darwinism.
CONSERVATIVE: So, we're animals but we don't behave like animals. What you're conceding is that you don't trust the science.
LEFTY: Uh . . .
CONSERVATIVE: And what separates human animals from the rest of the animals?

#5 I see Inskeep knows nothing about Herbert Spencer.
Submitted by drsamherman on Thu, 05/03/2012 - 11:38pm.
Herbert Spencer's work, "Progress: It's Law and Cause" defined the underlying principles of "social Darwinism". It is a product of very liberal political thought from the Victorian era. Among other things, Spencer was fiercely anti-patriotic (vehement opposition to the British Empire's standing armies), extremely pro-labor (early British union sympathizer and supporter), feminist (a "male suffragette") and considered to be a radical for his faith in Darwinism and its tenets. He was a very controversial figure in his time, and easily would identify in like kind with Chairman Zero.
Not only did Inskeep screw up the interpretation of what Social Darwinism means from a philosophical construct, Stevie Inskeep screwed up the history and screwed up the interpretation just like Dumbama did.
Why are our tax dollars going to support incompetent, stupid freaks like Inskeep?

#6 Inconsistency of the Progressives
Submitted by LaVallette on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 5:32am.
So Darwinianism is foundational to the Progressives when it comes to explaining the origins of the universe and the emergence of life on earth, on the basis of accidental and fortuituous confluence of chemicals at a particualr time, natural selection and survival of the fittest, which leads them even to to the denial of the existence of God. However according to the same Progressives anyone who referes to Darwinianism in action in to-day's society renders that person as an enemy of the people without any right to participate in the current political discussion.

As the Patriots prepare for the draft, they could have more reason to spend an early pick on an offensive lineman.
According to PFW correspondent and Boston Herald writer Ian Rapoport, the Patriots will likely part ways with OL Nick Kaczur.
The veteran started at right tackle for five seasons, but missed all of 2010 with a back injury. The Patriots reportedly approached Kaczur about taking pay cut on his $3.4 million salary for 2011 but he was not interested in doing such a thing.
The way we see it
Kaczur could have started at guard this season when Logan Mankins was holding out, but Dan Connolly stepped in and played left guard to start the season, before moving to right guard to replace the injured Stephen Neal. With Connolly's success in 2010, he becomes the team's top backup, assuming Matt Light, Mankins and Neal all return.
With an aging line, the Patriots will likely look to add an O-lineman in the draft, and Kaczur, with that $3.4 million, becomes expendable.

The Batesville Herald-Tribune
---- —
A good season came to a close for the Batesville High School girls soccer team.
The Lady Bulldogs were defeated 4-0 by East Central in the first round of the Class 2A sectional held at Batesville Tuesday evening.
"We played the best half of soccer all season and held EC in check most of the game," BHS coach Kyle Laker commented.
After a scoreless first half, the game was still just a 1-0 margin midway through the second half.
"With 20 minutes to play, we pushed our numbers forward which weakened our defense," Laker commented. "This is when the game got out of control, but we had to push numbers forward to try to mount a comeback.
"Although we were not able to put one away last night, we walked off the field with our heads held high and we have nothing to be ashamed about. We have a lot to build on for next season and look forward to coming back even stronger," he added.
Senior Melody Lutz led her team with three goals, while Daria Volker added one. Senior Hannah Patton had an assist on one of the three Lutz scores.
The Lady Trojans improved to 14-1-2 on the season, while Batesville finished 10-5-2.

Women spending longer in education and delaying motherhood, finds research at University of Southampton
10:32am Monday 10th September 2012 in News
Women are having children later in life because they are spending longer in education , new research claimed today.
Academics from the University of Southampton looked at women in Britain and France and found that finishing full-time education and training at an older average age is the main reason why people are having their first child later in life.
Professor Maire Ni Bhrolchain, who conducted the study with Dr Eva Beaujouan, said: ''Later childbearing has been a major feature of fertility trends in recent decades, both in Britain and other developed countries.
''A large number of explanations have been suggested for the trend towards later parenthood, but our study is the first to show that the major influencing factor is that people have been staying on longer in education and training.''
The average age of a woman having her first child in 2004 was 27, three years later than in 1974, when the average age was 24, the researchers said.
During these three decades, young men and woman were progressively staying longer at school and also going into further and higher education in greater numbers - with women completing their education or training at an increasingly later age.
In the late 1970s, young women were leaving full-time education or training at an average age of 18, but by 2004 this had risen by two years to an average age of 20.
''The data we have examined shows that, in the past several decades, young people have been starting their full adult lives around two years later on average than in the recent past and this has meant family life starting later too,'' said Professor Ni Bhrolchain.
The Southampton study focused on the period between the early 1980s and the late 1990s, during which time the mean age of women having their first birth rose by almost one-and-a-half years.
During the same period, the time between women leaving full-time education and a first birth rose by only 0.6 years. This means that about three-fifths of the change in age at first birth in Britain is due to more time being spent in education and training. The figure is four-fifths in France.
So longer education and training is the most important explanation for later childbearing, although not the only one. There are other contributory factors, the study claimed.
Professor Ni Bhrolchain said: ''If we start the clock when young women leave full-time education or training, the delay to motherhood, compared across the decades, is much less than looking purely at the differences in their ages at their first birth.''
To investigate the study, the researchers compiled and analysed data in Britain from the General Household Survey and in France from the Family History Survey.
The study, called Fertility Postponement, is largely due to rising educational enrolment, is published in the journal Population Studies.

ANDREW SHARP: This morning, after hearing that Ben Roethlisberger's suspension could potentially be just four games, I asked myself a simple question: would Ben have gotten off so easy if he looked like this?
In my mind, if Ben Roethlisberger was a black skill player instead of a white quarterback, he'd have been demonized far more severely by the media, and there's no way he gets off with just a four game suspension. I also recognize that this argument's completely obnoxious and prompts all sorts of broad generalizations on the NFL, but try to ignore all that. This isn't about politics.
Just a simple question here. If Ben Roethlisberger looked like Pacman Jones, would he have gotten off with four games? Spencer, what do you think?
SPENCER HALL: Well, Pac Man (who looks like Pac Man) got a year for being involved with (though not the trigger man) in a high profile strip club shooting resulting in the paralysis of a bouncer, so the cases here aren't even remotely comparable. Consider that Donte Stallworth actually killed someone in an accident. Consider Leonard Little's status as another "black athlete who totally killed someone while driving a car drunk" who went on to happily collect paychecks in the NFL. Consider the general evenhandedness the NFL has demonstrated with its suspensions for non-conviction cases, and the league comes through this looking fairly clean on any charges of racism.
Pac Man was never convicted of any of the charges he faced, but he was indicted in the media, and therefore suspended and put on probation by the NFL. Thus, when he had another run-in with the law, he was banned from the league for a year.
The incident in Georgia is really Ben's second run-in with a rape accusation, but because the first one was largely ignored by the media, and subsequently, the NFL, there's less a sense of "two strikes" justice here, and he's being punished for his second incident as if it were his first. To me, that boils down to race, and favorable treatment he received from the media early on. Counting the first accusation and two more accusations of sexual assault that weren't pursued (here and here), that's four times Roethlisberger's been accused of some form of sexual assault.
It's hearsay to say that he's guilty of any of it, but my point is... If he were black, it wouldn't matter among the media and the NFL, and we'd be talking about a guy who's a "hazard to society and himself" or some other crap.
Leonard Little's slap on the wrist, as well as other instances of lenient justice from the NFL (Ray Lewis, etc), happened under a different commissioner. Under the omnipotent ginger, the NFL's adopted a much harsher stance, regardless of whether its players have been convicted. Here, though, it's not so harsh. What gives?
Because even relative to other sexual assault claims, the lack of coverage with the first instance was pretty appalling. And frankly, one attempt might be a shakedown, and even two. But there are FOUR women on record as having consulted with a lawyer after sexual encounters with Roethlisberger, two of which have been largely ignored by the media.
If it's not race, then how can you explain the lack of attention from the media and NFL? Again, if someone like Jamarcus Russell pulled this stuff, a. the third and fourth incidents reported would become far more prevalent in the media, and b. the outcry would be deafening. Mind you, I'm not calling the NFL racist, here. But I'm saying that if this was Jamarcus Russell, or Pacman, or some other prevalent black star, the whole process would result in a much stiffer penalty.
Even the way he's quoted in the police report would be received different. When Roethlisberger says "All my bitches, take some shots!" we hear an overgrown frat boy. If Pacman says that, we hear a "thug" conforming to all the worst stereotypes of hip hop culture and chauvenism. It's nuanced and not necessarily anyone's fault, but it's impossibly naive to think that a black player could come out of this, his second (or fourth, depending on how we count) rape accusation, without being portrayed as evil, out of control, and unfit to play in the NFL for a long time.
Now, again, it's not to say that anyone's at fault for perpetuating stereotypes that have been ingrained by decades of prejudice (and a fair amount of anecdotal support, with the likes of Pac Man, Chris Henry, Larry Johnson, etc). But if there's a discrepancy between the way a white and black player is held responsible for a given transgression--and an honest look at the situation reveals there is--shouldn't it be the NFL's job to correct that discrepancy?
