ECDX 2013: Philly Traps Windy, 190-189
FEASTERVILLE, PA--Philly were still reeling from a ruthless demolition by the Texecutioners when they took to the track against a Windy City team that had warmed up with a comfortable win over Tampa.
In what was the most fiercely contested and closely fought bout of the year to date, Philly took the win 190-189. For the second time in three games between the teams, it was Teflon Donna who put the winning point on the board--this time, in the final second of an overtime jam.
The opening jam made it look like Philly might be heading to a defeat as demoralising as the previous day when Devoida Mercy struggled with Yvette Yourmaker as Ginger Vitis and Tarantula headed to the box in the opening seconds. KonichiWOW then repeatedly recycled Mercy as Ying O'Fire took Windy into an early 19-0 lead.
A 3-0 for Sites followed as Windy filled their half of the box before Ginger Vitis cleared the way for Antidote to make it 19-7. Clam Jammer exploited Windy's continuing penalty issues, despite the attentions of Sargentina, and got another three. Mercy continued Philly's revival with their first multiple scoring pass jam of the bout as she tied it up with five minutes gone.
Sites gave Philly the lead as Varla Vendetta was boxed on a cut and Windy's blockers continued to enjoy the company of the penalty box officials--but a backblock call on Varla meant she couldn't erase that lead. Sites outmuscled the light Windy packs, showing some of the form that seemed to have evaded her against the Texecutioners, and made it 39-19.
Antidote picked up a back block on her first scoring pass just as Varla returned, letting her end Windy's five jam scoreless run. She managed 19 across the jam to Antidote's six, and saw her pack swell just as Philly's dwindled.
Sites took advantage of strong defence by Teflon Donna to make it 50-38--but she went down holding her jaw after a blow to the face from Sargentina. That hit was ruled to be a reckless high elbow by the officials and saw Sargentina ejected, though Sites skated back to her bench under her own power.
Thievin' Tyler pushed Windy back into the lead next time out though after Mercy backblocked her way to the box. Sharp hitting from Shenita Stretcher at the death denied Tyler a pass worth of points and forced the call with Mercy standing.
Jam 12 saw Clam Jammer boxed--but Tef and Heavy Flo dominated Killa Nois to almost entirely kill the penalty, which left Windy with a 75-58 lead and 12 minutes left in the half. But Sites returned and quickly saw Varla boxed on a cut.
The Windy pack was down to two with Yvette Yourmaker sitting in the box after Sargentina had to be removed from the crowd after returning trackside to join the Windy City cheering section.
Sites cut into the Windy lead but couldn't quite effect a lead change. Philly stayed within a pass until Bork Bork Bork forced a cut on Clam Jammer with some hard hitting to the inside before turn one. That let Nois make it 104-80.
Philly got the better of the final few jams of the period to go into halftime trailing 109-100 despite winning the first-half powerjam battle 5-3.
When play resumed, Sites busted through another light Windy pack for lead and a quick four in the first 20 seconds of the second period. Emma Knockuout recycling Thievin' Tyler let Mercy give Philly a four-point lead with a 9-0 next time out.
Sites extended that lead as Windy were held scoreless for the opening five minutes of the period despite finally restoring penalty discipline and starting to keep serious numbers of blockers on the track. But K-Wow and Ruthenasia teamed up to hold Antidote long enough for Tyler to restore the Windy lead, 119-117.
The game was tied up at 122 apiece after the teams traded points and box trips. Windy then led for three jams before Antidote put up the sixth lead change of the bout--but couldn't push Philly more than a pass in front. They held the narrowest of leads until a 5-0 for Ying O'Fire made it 139-135 in Windy's favour with 13 minutes to go.
Shenita then let Mercy tie it up with some masterful one-one-one work against Killa. A chaotic jam left Windy with a 154-139 lead with 8:48 left--and an official time out saw Sites returned to the box as jammer for a low block call that was not reported during the chaos of the previous jam.
That let Windy bring out powerjam specialist Athena DaCrime--and she made their lead 25 before Sites returned. The lead had been cut to 18 before a forearm major on Sites let Ying in to make it 174-146 before she got called off for blocking with the head after attacking the Philly wall. 10 Sites points made the deficit 18 at the two-minute warning. Tef cut that to 13 with a quickfire 5-0 jam with seconds out.
Windy looked to have the bout won when Ying got lead as the period clock expired--but when Tyler was boxed on her scoring pass for a backblock that let Sites in to seemingly take the win, 176-174.
Philly's celebrations were cut short when two points went up for Windy after the period clock expired to leave the scoreboard reading 176-176 to force an overtime jam to deafening roars inside the arena.
Ying O'Fire and Teflon Donna lined up with Philly holding a 3-2 pack advantage. Ying put ip 9 before Tef finally fought her way out of the pack--but Tef tied it up with 30 seconds left. It looked to be heading for double overtime before Tef raced the final pass to just get her hips in front of one Windy skater as the clock hit zero, and Philly took the bout 190-189.
Jackie Daniels
... was not rostered for this bout. Not sure what you're trying to say in paragraph 5.
Ying O' Fire
Ying was called for blocking with the head (not Thievin').
And when Ying got lead (in the 3rd to last 'graph), Ying was boxed (not Thievin')
Angry Wobble
My league called it the "angry wobble" when I was in a cast. Center track is pretty far when you only have 30 seconds!
*edit: this was supposed to be in response to Lex above.:(*
Last point
Maybe I am confused because the cheering at the Sports Plex was deafening in that overtime jam, but didn't Tef get the last point by passing Ying, the jammer, not a blocker.
Yup, has to be the jammer
If it was a blocker pass, there would be (2?) additional NOTT points. What video is available seems to clearly show there was no blocker pass at the end of the jam, but there was a JLP just before the final 1/2 lap of the jam, which was a new (4th) scoring pass. What I can't figure out is where that JLP came from on her second scoring pass.
Archived video is now up
I recommend people make sure they know the full scoring rules before making any judgements. I predict a lot of wrong comments in the future ;)
A few questions . . .
In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a Windy City fan. Nevertheless, after having had a chance to watch the archived bout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bqPIX4dqdps; also at http://wftda.tv/archives/ecdx-2013/philly-vs-windy-city/) -- sometimes rewinding certain plays over and over -- I have some questions regarding calls/non-calls that hopefully someone can explain.
Sarge – Sites hit
It appears from Rinxter that Sarge was given a high-block penalty and then ejected for gross misconduct for a hit on Sites in the 8th jam. The entire hit appears to take place at 14:13 of the archived bout footage. Admittedly the angle is not the greatest and the hit happens quickly, but it seems clear that Sarge's right hand stays at her side throughout the hit and that Sites' ducks her head just prior to contact. It also seems clear that if any contact was made with Sites' head by Sarge, it would have to be with Sarge's shoulder (as opposed to her elbow, which is what the ref (Singer) appears to be indicating at 16:12 – 16:13). It would be great to see a still photo from a different angle to clarify whether (and, if so, with what part of her body), Sarge hit Sites in the head.
Assuming that Sarge did make contact with Sites' head, the question arises what about the foul was expulsion worthy. Under the rules, with respect to high blocking, expulsions will be issued for the following: "Intentional, negligent, or reckless contact above the shoulders." (6.2.4). What is it about this play that makes it either intentional, negligent, or reckless? From my (admittedly biased) viewpoint, it appears that any contact with Sites' head is incidental to an attempt to block Sites' in a legal blocking zone, i.e., her chest (5.3, figure 2).
Last jam
At 1:27:12, Sites is forced out by Bork and K-Wow, who run back. Sites can clearly be seen straddling the line, with her left foot in and her right foot out. At 1:27:13, Sites picks up her right skate, thus returning her to inbounds status -- and a cutting penalty -- under 126.96.36.199. Just a blown call, or am I missing something else?
Overtime jam
Philly won the game, in the overtime jam, by one point. Under the rules, a jammer lap point is awarded "[i]f one Jammer completely laps the opposing Jammer, the Jammer will score one point each time the Jammer fully laps the opposing Jammer." (8.5.7). Perhaps significantly, the rules do not define "lapping."
The overtime jam starts at 1:30:55. At 1:31:13, Ying completes her first pass of all Philly skaters. According to Rinxter, she was given 4 points for this pass. If Rinxter is accurate, is this error? Should Ying have received a point for Teflon Donna on this pass? – I could not see any ref indicate a no pass, no penalty; and, unfortunately, the jam ref's points signal is out of the frame.
At 1:31:30, Ying completes her second scoring pass with Teflon Donna still yet to pass the foremost WCR blocker (Rinxter has this scored as 5 points for WCR). At 1:31:43, Teflon Donna gets out of the pack while Ying is approaching the pack for a third scoring pass. At 1:32:00, Teflon Donna completes a scoring pass, which includes passing Ying (which, Rinxter scored as 5 points for Philly).
I have a question at this point: why was Teflon Donna awarded a lap point for passing Ying on this pass? By my reckoning, this is the first time that Teflon Donna passed Ying. Under the jammer lap point rule (8.5.7), a jammer will score a jammer lap point each time the jammer fully laps the opposing jammer. If this is the first time Teflon Donna passed Ying, she could not have lapped Ying and thus should not have been awarded a jammer lap point. Is it the case that the overtime rule ("Jammers will begin accruing points on their initial pass." (2.5.1).) somehow modifies the jammer lap point rule? If so, why isn't there any cross-reference between the two rules? Also, if the overtime rule modifies the jammer lap point rule, how does it affect the initial pass with respect to a jammer stuck in the pack?
Anyways, back to the jam. At 1:32:13, Teflon Donna appears to complete a second pass of all WCR skaters, including Ying (Rinxter scores this as 4 points for Philly, presumably because Ying was out of bounds, and thus out of play). Somewhere around 1:32:36, Ying completes a pass of the foremost Philly blocker (out of frame) as Teflon Donna again approaches the pack (Rinxter scores this as 4 points for WCR). Both Ying and Teflon Donna then head around for what I think is both of their fourth approaches to the pack. At 1:32:49, Teflon Donna passes Ying and is presumably awarded a jammer lap point. At 1:32:53, the jam clock hits 0:00, which occurs prior to either Ying or Teflon Donna hitting the pack.
Fundamentally, I just don't fully understand what happened in the overtime jam. Help?

Rice is a staple food for the Filipinos as well as for most Southeast Asians. We eat rice the way Westerners eat bread and potatoes. It's no wonder that we have learned to cook rice in so many ways–as appetizers, main meals, snacks, sweets and desserts.
This rice dish is basically a Chinese fried rice cooked with chunks of pre-boiled beef shank, chinese sausages, chicken hotdogs, strips of scrambled eggs, sweet peas, corn kernels and steamed rice seasoned with light soy sauce, oyster sauce, steak sauce and sesame seed oil. It's one of my "instant" recipes–take whatever is available and throw them in with the rice kind of thing. My kids are spending the afternoon at a friend's' house (their kids and ours are buddies) accompanied by their yaya so I had to cook a quick lunch before they left. The beef chunks are leftovers from yesterday's bulalo. The rest are some of the things that our freezer contains at the moment.
Ingredients :
6 c. of steamed rice rice, cooled for best results
2 c. of pre-cooked beef chunks, about 1″ cubes
2 chinese sausages (locally known as longganisang macau)
2 chicken hotdogs
3/4 c. of corn kernels
1/2 c. of frozen sweet peas
2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp. of oyster sauce
1 tbsp. of light soy sauce
1 tsp. of steak sauce
1/2 tsp. of sesame seed oil
4 tbsp. of cooking oil
salt and pepper
Cooking procedure :
Season the beef chunks with steak sauce. Cut the chinese sausages and chicken hotdogs into 1/4″ thick rings. Set aside.
Heat a skillet or wok. Pour in 1 tbsp. of cooking oil and heat until it starts to smoke. Add the beaten eggs, tilting the skillet or wok to swirl the eggs while cooking. Cook until set. Transfer to a plate. Roll up and cut into 1/2″ wide strips. Cut each strip across into two.
Add the rest of the cooking oil to the skillet or wok and heat until it starts to smoke once more. Add the chinese sausages and chicken hotdogs. Cook over high heat for about 30 seconds. Add the beef chunks. Cook for another 15 seconds, stirring. Add the rice, corn kernels and sweet peas. Cook, stirring, until the rice is heated through. Pour in the oyster sauce and light soy sauce. Add the pepper. Stir well. Adjust seasonings, if necessary. Add the egg strips and pour in the sesame seed oil. Toss a few times. Serve hot.

Some writers – published and unpublished give their thoughts on being a writer in Dublin in the 21st century.
Writers' Lives
Niamh Bagnell
"…My life of late in Dublin has been completely immersed in writing. There are so many forums in Dublin for writers to share their work, and to see writers sharing... that I feel Dublin is a real literary city…There's a thirst for stories, beauty, hope and excitement in the city that is growing by the day, and getting fulfilled in ever more thrilling ways. Dublin is now a city where almost any day or night of the week you'll find freestylers, newcomers, and professionals in literature energetically and happily embracing their art and the city."
Author Note: Niamh Bagnell a Dublin writer of poetry and fiction, she has been published in Night & Day, Dermot Bolger's 2008 poetry Anthology, and the Whitehouse Revival poetry magazine, as well as hosting a weekly writing based radio show on Liffey Sound. She also read as part of the Writers' Centre Lonely Voice Introductions series for emerging fiction writers this year. She has read across the spectrum of Dublin Culture Nights including the Glor Sessions, Brownbread Mixtape and Nighthawks.
Alma Brayden
"Public readings in Dublin are frequent and popular. Interest in Theatre is keen and there is a great interest in poetry and prose, probably because we have so many great writers past and present…The citizens of Dublin are proud of the wonderful inheritance left to them by James Joyce, Samuel Becket, W.B. Yeats, Bernard Shaw and many others…The City of Dublin lives, breaths and talks endlessly about creative writing."
Author Note: Contemporary writer Alma Brayden is an artist and poet. Her new collection of poetry, "Prism" has just been published by Seven Towers Publishing. Her work has appeared in many anthologies, newspapers and magazines. She has read on East Coast Radio and at the Mermaid Theatre, Bray. She is a well-known artist and teacher in Dalkey Sandycove area where she has had many exhibitions.
Aideen Carroll
"Literature is part of Dublin, it's all around us. The people, buildings, streets, names and places that inhabit the works of Joyce, O'Casey, Yeats, Beckett, Swift, Synge, Behan, Kavanagh and many more have made Irish literature known, respected, and loved internationally. Some of our writers are iconic images in themselves. Finally, is it a linguistic accident that the search engine YAHOO has taken its name from Gulliver's Travels?"
Authur Note: Dublin writer Aideen Carroll has recently published a biography on the War of Independence Brigade Commander and Fianna Fáil cabinet minister, Seán Moylan.. (Seán Moylan - Rebel Leader Mercier Press, Cork).
Eileen Casey
"I believe that a writers can thrive and flourish, even in these recessionary times, if they are prepared to work hard and make their own opportunities also. Cassidy's Bar/Chapters Bookshop/The Writers Centre/Poetry Ireland Introductions, all these venues ensure that there is room for everyone at the literary table. There are so many talented, really gifted writers working in Dublin today."
Author Note: Eileen Casey is a poet, contemporary writer, journalist and creative writing tutor from Co. Offaly who has been living in Tallaght since the late 1970's. Eileen's debut poetry collection Drinking the Colour Blue was published by New Island. She is also a regular contributor to literary journals and magazines.
Sam Stone Hameed
"Open Your Mind, Underline Your Thoughts, Make Them Reality In A City Full Of Words".
"Some Written Long Ago, Others Still Jotted on Notes, Even From Languages Far Abroad".
"But Never Forgotten In This City We Call Dublin".
"Oh Rumbling Minds, Do Share Your Words, So The City Of Literature Can Tell The world"!
Author Note: Limerick born Sam Stone Hameed is currently writing memoirs about his life, growing up in Ireland under a strict Islamic up bringing, and later leaving his religion and culture to be with an Irish woman whom he still loves and lives with in Co. Kildare.
Anna HeussaffDublin is a multicultural city, and one of the literary streams that has long flowed into her deep dark pool – the 'Dubh Linn' of her name – is that contributed by Irish language writers and speakers. Myles na gCopaleen and Brendan Behan wrote classics in Irish as well as English; Caitlín Maude, Breandán Ó hEithir and many others rooted in the Gaeltacht of the west lived much of their creative lives in the capital city; and today's writing community is similarly diverse.
Working words is a solitary job, but there's always lively literary company to be found at Dublin's myriad book launches, readings, festivals and gatherings - indeed, attending half of those in Irish, never mind in English, would leave little time to actually write books. As a bilingual Dubliner, I rejoice in the riches the city gives me in both languages.
Author note: Anna Heussaff is a novelist whose work includes two crime novels, Bás Tobann and Buille Marfach, two novels for young readers, Vortex and Hóng, and a quirky love story for adult learners of Irish, Cúpla Focal.
Edwin Kelly
"Dublin currently has a Writer's centre, two post-graduate level writing programmes, a thriving open-mike scene and a multitude of literary festivals. The opportunities for meeting like-minded (and importantly unlike-minded!) writers are manifold...if you enter into any conversation about poetry, novels, or stories beyond the simple enjoyment level, you are as deeply engaged with literature as they are"
Author Note: Dublin writer, Edwin Kelly is currently completing an MA in Creative Writing at UCD, concentrating on poetry for his thesis submission. A selection of his work will be published in the forthcoming UCD Creative Writing anthology Platform 14.
Biddy JenkinsonThe Smell of the City
Do my detective stories smell of Dublin as I remember it?
When the tide is out the Liffey smells of sulphur. (If you are standing by a urinal on the quay the smell has an extra top note) In Sandymount, when you build a castle, there is black sand smelling of bad eggs under the proper stuff. Smell of the gasworks. Smell of the gasometer. Smell of fresh bread from Bolands. In the Liberties in the early sixties, you can still smell pigs in backyards. 'Keeffes the Knackers' thicken the air most horribly as they make glue from hooves, horns and bones. There are still shambles here and there. They emit a smell of death. Blood and water trickle from under the gate out into the gutter. Smell of biscuits from Jacobs. Of hops from Guinness brewery. The coal horse smells of the country. The steam engine at night in Westland Row Station, smoke, steam, fire, hot metal. Moore Street smells woven tight: fish, fruit, vegetables, poultry. Fresh or nearly so. ''Get the last of the Cheeky Charlies!' November fog, the city smoke settling down on us, thick yellow-green, snotty. The smell of tar being heated for road works, the smell of petrol from Brittain's garage. Coffee beans roasted in the window of Bewley's café. Woolworths' smells: Muguet du Bois, Stablonde Shampoo,Eau de Cologne, Clove drops. A rose in Stephen's Green, Lilac blooming in gardens. A day in the Zoo where the lion house smells regally of Lion and the monkey house smells of hominids. Hospitals smell of ether. A smell of formaldehyde comes from the Hatch St. entrance to U.C.D.
And to tie all these together, the smell of incense at Benediction.
Claire Kilroy
"It made a big difference to me growing up in Dublin in close proximity to great writers because it made the possibility of becoming a writer myself that bit more realistic an option. My favourite writer lived just down the road."
Author Note: Born in Dublin in 1973 and still living there, Dublin writer Claire Kilroy is the author of three novels: Her debut novel All Summer (Faber and Faber 2003) earned her the 2004 Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and was shortlisted for the 2004 Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award. Her second novel Tenderwire followed in 2006 and was shortlisted for the 2007 Hughes and Hughes Irish Novel of the Year and her latest novel All Names have been changed, set in Dublin in the mid 1980s was published in 2009.
Eamonn Lynskey
"There are no limits to what one can write about but inevitably one writes a good deal about what one knows best and, because I am a Dubliner, that means I often write about my city. Trouble is, there is not just one Dublin in my head but the many I have known from childhood through to adulthood. As I attempt to concentrate on one overall view, each of my 'Dublins' cries out to be heard, elbowing the others aside…
My emphasis is on my own personal experience, hoping that what I write will universalise itself in the act of writing, like in the work of other poets such as the great Italian writer Umberto Saba who wrote so well about his beloved Trieste."
Author Note: Poet Eamonn Lynskey was born in Dublin in 1948. His poetry has been published widely since its first appearance in the 1980s in the Irish Press 'New Irish Writing' page edited by David Marcus. His first collection 'Despatches and Recollections' was published by Lapwing (Belfast) in 1998 and his second, 'And Suddenly the Sun Again' was published by Seven Towers recently (June 2010). He was nominated for a Hennessy / Sunday Tribune award in 2006. He has performed his poetry widely and is an enthusiastic supporter of the open mic in Dublin UNESCO City of Literature, London and elsewhere.
Thom Moore
There is never an accounting for what a writer thinks he's doing: there's only an accounting for how he impresses what he does on other minds. One rude example would be the late, great Paddy Kavanagh's opus in comparison to, say, his contemporary, Brian O'Nolan [AKA Flann O'Brien]. Both of them achieved a rare and mighty status among the people of Dublin who read, as well as among lovers of literature all over the world; both of them produced the bulk of their work in Dublin, and under its influence…"
Author Note: Thom Moore is a translator, songwriter and poet. Thom ,although born elsewhere, is an Irish citizen who considers Dublin UNESCO City of Literature his home, as he's lived here continuously since 1995.
Tom Myp
"The city as magnet: who lived here and lives here? Who wrote here and writes here? Who reads what they wrote and write ... and why? The first real question is whether or not Dublin present and Dublin past (at least in terms of literature) are any different. The first real answer: of course they're different. The observation is a truism, of course: no city is the same as it was then. But then again, if you live in a city, you change along with it – in step, if not in tune."
Author Note: Tom Myp is a poet and musician who came to Ireland from Russia with his wife and stepson in the middle of the 90s; they have lived ever since in the Dublin suburb of Tallaght, where Tom is active in literary and poetic circles. His most recent achievement was to be included in the Landing Places anthology of immigrant poets; and poetry and its translation remain his most earnest pastime
Nuala Ní Chonchúir
"Apart from the famous male writers we all know of, Dublin was the birthplace of the legendary Jennifer Johnston, the incomparable Nuala Ó Faoláin, and the impeccable poet, Eavan Bolan, among many others… As a Dublin writer, the city and county are constant sources of inspiration to me. It is a wonderful city, welcoming to writers both past and present, which is evidenced by its huge writing community and the many literary festivals that serve them."
Author Note: Full-time fiction writer and poet Nuala Ní Chonchúir was born in Dublin UNESCO City of Literature in 1970. She has published three collections of short stories including The wind across the grass (Arlen House 2004); To the World of Men, Welcome (Arlen House 2005) and Nude (Salt publishing 2009), three poetry collections - one in an anthology, and her debut novel You, set in Dublin in the year 1980, was published by New Island in 2010.
Annemarie Ní Churreáin
"Dublin is a marvellous home for a writer. It never fails to thrill me. It is big enough to inflate the imagination with a sense of the unknown and yet small enough to reveal the finer, extraordinary detail of everyday life. The view-finder is adjustable. I love walking up through Christchurch on a Sunday morning when the bells are ringing. After these walks, I return to my writing with new rhythm and clarity."
Author Note: Originally from Donegal, Annemarie Ní Churreáin now lives in Dublin City of Literature. She writes poetry and short stories. Her writing has been published in journals in Ireland and abroad. Most recently, her work appears in the anthology 'Leave Us Some Unreality'. Annemarie is undertaking an M.Phil at the Oscar Wilde Centre in Trinity College Dublin where she is completing her first collection of poetry.
Ita O'Driscoll
"Dublin has a teeming community of writers. As a literary agent, my inbox is stacked to the ceiling with submissions from Irish writers who want to get their work published and who are constantly striving to reach a standard with their writing that will see their work make it into the public domain. Irish writers punch above their weight in the multimillion pound (dollar/euro) book market that is fuelled by individuals, sitting at their lonely desks being creative."
Note: Ita O'Driscoll is a literary agent.
Joan Power
"Beginning to write in my early fifties, I stumbled on an excitement which just keeps increasing…the things I catch in my net don't stop at mere words. There's people too, fictional people and real people, dead Dubliners and live ones... My trawl, my catch, is also my bait and my raw material, a bit like those famous Dublin Bay prawns... And it's all here in Dublin City. It's here in creative writing groups, in our wonderful Irish Writer's Centre, in play-writing sessions and theatres, in poetry readings, in books, friendships, shared outings and, of course, in the subtle art of everyday Irish life. Godammit, I was a writer all along and I can do it now, at my age, in my place, in lovely literary Dublin. "
Author Note: Dublin writer, Joan Power, writes mostly short stories, fiction and some poetry. She has published short stories/pieces in anthologies and also had a poem in Dermot Bolger's Night and Day. She is currently working on a novel. She lives in Dublin with her husband Jim.
Oran Ryan
"All of my novels and poems and plays are inspired by, embedded in, or situated in Dublin City of Literature. I find it a place of lifelong harrowing fascination and inspiration. With its enormous repertoire of readings, open mics, and rich historical and contemporary literary scene, there is no shortage of support structures for writers and poets. Dublin appalls, inspires and haunts everything I write. I totally love the place. "
Author Note: Oran Ryan was born and lives in Dublin. Oran has published two novels: The Death of Finn (Dublin, Seven Towers, 2006); and Ten Short Novels by Arthur Kruger (Seven Towers, 2006), and has also published poems, short stories and literary critical articles.
Evelyn Walsh
On being a middle-aged Dublin Mammy (who happens to write)
"On my fortieth birthday I decided I better work out what I wanted to 'be' when I grew up… I attended a local VEC sponsored creative writing class and the tutor re-fired my interest in the written word… I followed that course up with three years of courses in the Irish Writers Centre in Parnell Square. I made lots of wonderful friends and joined various writers groups.
I read and read and wrote and wrote… and now all those words, those stories hidden deep, deep inside me for all those years have erupted from me. It was a damburst, an avalanche… I found I had a knack for breathing life into characters; I could make them and their stories live on the page. It makes me feel both powerful and humble. For I have found my 'thing' something I can become absorbed in every day through the autumn of my life. For this I am deeply grateful."
Author Note: Contemporary writer Evelyn Walsh lives and works in Swords, Co Dublin. She began writing in 2004 and is a member of Inkswell Writers Group and Swords Writers. Evelyn has completed one adult novel, two children's novels and is working on a second adult novel, none of these yet published. She was nominated for a Hennessey First Fiction award in 2007 for her story 'The Lump' which was published in the Sunday Tribune. Evelyn 'ghost' wrote 'His Name Is Rebecca' , Rebecca De Havalland's memoir that is due for publication in September by Poolbeg Press
Geraldine Walsh
"My mother could not have known where or how far her comment, "Ah sure, just write a little story," would go, when I was eight years old and bored… She lifted the lid on an imagination that rolled quicker than I could have down sand dunes with the wind pushing me from behind. The stories were endless and soon the poetry started and before long the ideas flowed in an unshakable and magical way… that is what happens with brush strokes and lines of dialogue, they can go anywhere."
Author Note: Dublin writer Geraldine Walsh writes poetry, short stories, and flash fiction. She has been published in various print and online literary journals and was a Runner-up in the Fish Publishing One Page Prize 2009 and Highly Commended for the Yeovil Poetry Prize 2009. She is the founder of Swords Writers, a local creative writing group and is in the process of completing her first novel.
Mia Gallagher
I've lived in Dublin for all my life, except for a year in my teens which I spent in Germany. In that time I've seen the city thrive and wilt as the country's fortunes have shifted. It has gone from being a small quasi-parochial string of villages to a hustling, bustling European city.
In its current downturn incarnation, it's like a woman who's just woken up after a bender and wondered what on earth happened the night before.
Change and uncertainty can be hard to deal with but they are exciting to witness; they can provoke insight and they always bring out the best and worst in people. That's the flesh and blood of what interests me as a writer; I could not imagine a better and more vibrant place to live and work in.
Author Note: Mia Gallagher is current writer-in-residence in IADT/DLR Arts Office. Her theatre work has been performed in Ireland and across Europe while her short fiction has been published in the UK, the US and Ireland, shortlisted for a Hennessey Award and won the 2005 START fiction prize.
Her debut novel 'HellFire', published in 2006 by Penguin Ireland, won the Irish Tatler Women of the Year Literary Award 2007

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - As ground is broken for Fondren Park at Northview Drive and Dunbar Street in Jackson Wednesday, it's another step in the right direction for the historic district that's been growing at an impressive rate.
Fondren Park will include a walking trail, a pavilion and a playground.
"There's going to be a flat area open with no trees for kids to have a short field to play soccer," said Bill Scruggs, president of the Fondren Renaissance Foundation.
The 2.5 acre park will be funded through a $600,000 HUD grant.
People who live near the park are excited, and eager to help on all projects.
"Northview residents are really thrilled about the park, but we would like to feel more included, that we're a part of the planning process," says Jenny Nelson, a 15-year Northview Drive resident.
From planning to construction, development in Fondren's business district has been flowing smoothly. The old Duling School has transformed nicely into a shopping center with The Auditorium, a special events spot, along with various shops, and a tacos and tapas restaurant under construction. A $2 million MDOT grant will pave the way for new street lamps, sidewalks and landscaping in Fondren.
And in the coming months, the nation's eyes will be on Fondren as it provides the backdrop for scenes in the major motion picture The Help.
"They're going to be all over the neighborhood in the next few weeks, doing some of the facades to make it look like back in the 1950s," said Mike Peters, of Fondren-based Mike Peters Real Estate.
Earlier this year, business owners in Fondren experienced a string of burglaries and met with Jackson Police. Commander Kenneth Goodrum says patrols were increased for a while, and crime in the area has since declined dramatically.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Around 2:00AM, police found 56-year-old John Johnson lying in a yard at 816 Cedar Avenue. He'd been shot in the hip. He's okay but police don't know who shot him.
About an hour later, shots were fired on Roosevelt Avenue.
Shortly after police got the call, they pulled over an SUV at the AutoZone on South Slappey. They arrested 22-year-old Nathaniel Davis, 20-year-old Ryan Pittman and 24-year-old Curles Lee Butler.
Police say Butler fired shots at a couple as they left the club, but no one was struck.
The three suspects are accused of beating another man who was with the couple.
Davis and Pittman are charged with simple battery. Butler's charged with simple battery and aggravated assault.

Home > Buildings & Plants > Buildings & Plants Partner List > Georgetown Exempted Village Schools
The Georgetown Exempted Village School District (GEVSD) in
In 2007, the GEVSD qualified as an ENERGY STAR Leader by demonstrating a 20 percent improvement over its baseline energy performance. The GEVSD began construction in 2005 on a new elementary school and remodeled its junior and senior high school. Both buildings received numerous upgrades, including energy-conscious building designs, new software to power off computers when idle, and a Building Automation System (BAS). A new HVAC system was installed in the junior and senior high school to facilitate better climate control.
After the buildings were completed in 2006, the GEVSD partnered with ENERGY STAR and began tracking its energy use in Portfolio Manager early the following year. In November 2007, the elementary school received a 75 in EPA's energy performance rating system and earned the ENERGY STAR. In December 2007, the junior/senior school did the same thing, achieving a rating of 75. To date, the GEVSDs partnership with ENERGY STAR has allowed the district to prevent more than 650 tons of CO2 emissions per year and save more than $27,000 in energy costs annually, allowing these funds to be diverted into educational resources.
To successfully implement its energy plan, the GEVSD appointed a maintenance director to oversee the operation of the districts buildings. The maintenance director is responsible for monitoring the buildings' energy use through the BAS, training maintenance staff on energy conservation methods, purchasing ENERGY STAR qualified equipment when possible, and encouraging staff and students turn off lights and other equipment when not in use.

At least 15 of the 408 Hurricane Katrina survivors who sought shelter in Lubbock are leaving to reunite with family members across the country. At least 35 others are scheduled to leave within the next couple days.
Volunteers worked one on one with each survivor staying at Reese Center to help them contact family members and arrange transportation. The trips were made possible because dozens donated Southwest frequent flier miles.
Chairman of the Lubbock Red Cross, Greg Bruce said, "That's neat because we're able to get these people out and they're excited when they've made contact with family and we've made arrangements to get them out and you don't want to delay that if you can help it."
The government has arranged a travel agency to help survivors reunite with family, but that could take days to set up. NewsChannel 11 talked with a family who doesn't have to wait, the Cummings family experienced a flight delay Tuesday, September 6th, but will leave Wednesday because someone donated frequent flier miles.
Wednesday will be the end of a very long journey which started Sunday, September 3rd, when they were flown from New Orleans to Lubbock. They'll now leave Lubbock for Baton Rouge. The news brings a happiness they haven't had in days.
Hundreds of Hurricane Katrina survivors landed on safe ground in Lubbock Sunday, one week after Katrina wiped out New Orleans. Two days later, 15 survivors are set to reunite with family. Sharon Cummings said, "I'm very excited to go back home to be with my family, just to be with loved ones-- to know that everyone made it out safe, and we're all back together."
The Cummings family tried to ride out the storm in New Orleans, and after Katrina hit. They waited for days in the flooded streets not knowing their fate.
Robert Cummings said, "I'm six feet tall and the water was up to my shoulders. I had to take my little sister and put her on my back. My niece, she was big enough to walk, but it was up to her head. I mean, dead bodies floating around and everything."
"They picked us up one by one onto the chopper," Sharon recalled.
A rescue crew finally got to them Sunday, and Reese Center has since been their safe haven. Robert said, "Y'all have been real nice to us." "We're grateful... blessed," said Sharon, "Everybody's been great and just overwhelming really. Word's can't explain."
All the donated goods they now own fits in one bag. The entire experience from New Orleans to Lubbock and finally to Baton Rouge is one they'll always remember. Jaimie Cummings said, "This was a good experience, I know it's something I'll never forget." Sharon said, "Survival-- it's knowing how to survive."
The Cummings' trip was made possible because of donated frequent flier miles. If you have tickets or travel rewards to donate, call American Red Cross at (806) 765-8534.

OKLAHOMA – A new law aimed at reducing prison spending and overcrowding in Oklahoma means 174 inmates statewide are free today, but with a catch.
House bill 2131 allows inmates who qualify to serve the remainder of their sentences with GPS monitors outside of prison after 90 days, instead of the previous 180 days. Officials with state and local detention centers say this law does not let just any offender off the hook. They say there are strict criteria that offenders must meet in order to be considered for the program.
A few of the criteria state that the inmate must be convicted of a non-violent offense, with a sentence of less than five years or be within 11 months of discharge. If an inmate has been convicted of a violent crime in the past 10 years they are not eligible.
7News also wanted to find out how this law affects us locally, so we went to a couple of local detention centers to find out. Jeff Woody with the Oklahoma Department of Corrections says that contrary to popular belief the new law is not releasing hundreds of inmates into the community today.
"We have offenders coming to our area in Comanche County. We have four. We have three into Jackson, three into Stephens, one into Grady, two into McClain, and two into Garvin County today," said Woody.
Woody says although the new law expands the parameters of who qualifies for the GPS program, there are thousands of inmates who will not make the cut.
"Convictions for violent offenses in the past 10 years those people are not eligible. If you're convicted of trafficking illegal drugs, if you've been denied parole within the last twelve months, [you are not eligible either]," said Woody.
Dale Cagle runs the Comanche County Detention Center. Some of his inmates will eventually finish their sentences with the DOC. He says some qualify for this new law and will eventually be set free.
"I think the big difference is that there is going to be more supervision through electronic monitoring than previously that we have seen in the state of Oklahoma and certainly for Comanche County," said Cagle.
Officials tell 7News that there are a lot of rumors surrounding this new law. One, that the community will see an influx of hundreds of inmates. 7News went to the DOC in Lawton and they said, under this new law, only 15 people walked out of here today connected to this device.
Woody says he understands the community's reservations about this law, but says residents should not worry and that the eyes of the DOC are watching.
"These people that are on supervision, it's our job to help monitor that supervision and to help. You know, we want them to be successful more than anything," said Woody.
7News was told that before this law the DOC release, on average, 700 inmates a year on GPS supervision. They say they have a 90-percent success rate for women and an 87-percent success rate for men.

Jessica Judd finishes third at Glasgow Grand Prix
10:53pm Saturday 12th July 2014 in Sport
JESSICA Judd has taken a liking to the track she will be racing on at the Commonwealth Games in two weeks' time.
The 19-year-old, from Canvey, finished third in the 800m at the Glasgow Grand Prix at Hampden Park on Saturday, beating all the Home Nations rivals she will compete against at the Commonwealth Games.
She was agonisingly close to running under two minutes for the second time this year, clocking 2m 0.01s in a performance that pushes her claim to be named as the third British 800m athlete for the European Championships in Zurich two weeks after the Commonwealth Games.
Lynsey Sharp and Alison Leonard have been confirmed as the two definite athletes heading to the European Championships – with Leonard's time of 2m 0.02s in Glasgow sealing her place.
Judd is now hoping the selectors overlook her disappointing performance at the trials where she finished fourth and, instead, look at the fact she is the second fastest on the national rankings and at her performance at Hampden Park.
"I had a chest infection at the trials which I didn't know until afterwards," Judd told the BBC after her race.
"I just had that really bad race at the trials. My family and my boyfriend, Chris, have helped me get back up so I hope that's enough.
"I'm so glad for Alison. It's just amazing that British middle-distance running is going so well and I'm just glad to be a part of it."
The team for the European Championships will be announced on Tuesday.

5 Reasons Why You Should Buy...: "You Can Tell 'Em I Said It": "[I've Got] 30 Years In The God D*mn Game"
Monday, Feb 21, 2011 10:00AM
[With tomorrow's release of You Can Tell 'Em I Said It, actor/comedian Eddie Griffin gives you the Top 5 reasons to laugh out loud to his new DVD.]
1. What's My Name
The number one reason why you should go buy this DVD is because it's Eddie Griffin. And when you hear that name, you know you're guaranteed to get more than your money's worth. 30 years in the God d*mn game. Every time I blast you with a stand-up piece, you know you've been served properly. All the way from Def Jam to Michael Jackson on crack to today. I'm always motivated but I was way more focused this time. My personal life is finally straightened out and [I'm] way more focused than my prior specials.
2. Start It Up
The second reason you should go buy it is because I have some suggestions on how you can fix your mental anguish. The suggestions that have been made by the whole special as a whole is that [nation] need to stop taking itself so serious. Just kick back and relax and get a laugh on. And there will be less problems in the world when you have people in power take that power seriously rather than looking at it for what it really is, which is a privilege to serve other people.
3. Daddy Fat Stacks
The third reason you should go cop this bad boy is because Daddy look good. I'm cleaner than the Board of Health. When you check it out, you'll see.
4. The Great Depression
The number four reason you should buy it is because motherf*ckers is losing they houses and they jobs. You need a laugh. Well first off, we're opening up, talking about how fine [First Lady] Michelle Obama is and what we would like to do to her. We also deal with religion, organized religion and why white churches will sleep with your son and black churches will sleep with your wife. We definitely get to the bottom of that whole [LeBron James leaving the Cavaliers] scenario according to what the people in Cleveland told me, the real reason behind the exodus.
5. Last Call
Well reason number five you should go cop this is because it's one of the funniest motherf*ckers that's ever been alive and it could be the last special. It's very simple [why it may be my last.] I got some beautiful young children and I'd like to spend a little bit more time with them.
You Decide. Will you buy You Can Tell 'Em I Said It

Jessica Eye signs with UFC
Yea guys it's official I signed. With UFC in my very own Cleveland #browns stadium ;) here we go babe… http://t.co/MVRT9Y4UiW— Jessica Eye (@jessicaevileye) August 21, 2013
One of the top women's fighters in the world, Jessica Eye, confirmed a report by UFC Tonight's Ariel Helwani that she will be headed to the UFC. She was recently released by Bellator. Eye has been linked as a possible opponent for Sarah Kaufman's UFC debut, according to the report.

So I hopped over here looking for a game preview, thinking, "Come on Zach and Max, get one up already!" But then I thought, "Hey, it's LMU. I can bang one out myself in like 3 minutes." So here goes:
Tonight Gonzaga looks to improve to 23-2 against the feckless hoopsters from LMU. It is a rematch of Jan 31's bloodbath in the foothills overlooking LAX, in which the Zags scored more than twice as many points in a nearly unwatchable 40 minutes of domination. This game, however, will be played at the MAC, so adjust +s for Kennel Club and home cookin', and --s for the warm, sedentary, acoustically-muffling bodies sitting across from them. Any margin of victory under 30 points will likely be looked on as a bad sign, unless Rem Bakamus and Brian (?) Bhaskar (?) lead the team in minutes.
And speaking of minutes, look for plenty of bench play tonight. Minutes for everybody! (except Guy Landry Edi, who has been relegated to the darkest of dark places reserved for athletic, black wings in Mark Few's system -- good luck, Gerard Coleman!) Can KD and PK continue to look like starters against wretched opponents? Will Kelly Olynyk's All-American campaign continue to be derailed by not having to play?
Other hot questions going into tonight's contest include, "Why?" "Why are we still in this crappy conference, getting doused in sticky layers of mediocrity for the 10 weeks heading into the tourney?" and "What's the Catholic 7 up to, anyway?"
Now let's avoid the fate of Florida. Go Zags!

Instagram responded to user outcry Tuesday over the company's updated terms of service, clarifying that it does not intend to sell a user's photos and that users still retain all rights to their content, in an update to the terms of service originally released by the company on Monday morning. The blog post said that Instagram has heard the user complaints, and is making several clarifications: The company does not plan to sell your photos: "It was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear." The company does not plan to make your photos part of advertisements: "The language we proposed also raised question about whether your photos can be part of an advertisement. We do not have plans for anything like this and because of that we're going to remove the language that raised the question."

An armed robbery at Tall Pines Liquor in Carlton, Minn. prompted quick investigation and arrest on Saturday night.
The robbery went on in a stereotypical fashion as the clerk was approached by suspect Paul Duane Mrosla, 24, wielding a knife. The suspect said, "This is a robbery, give me the money," and the clerk complied, giving him an undisclosed amount of cash.
The suspect then fled the store later to be located and identified at a residence in Carlton. He was booked at Carlton County jail on charges of aggravated robbery, 2nd degree assault and terroristic threats.
He is in custody awaiting formal charges.

Picked up in Liqour Mart in Boulder. Strange no locals have reviewed this yet. Anyways...
Good looking brew, caramel amber colored body, nice and clear. White head of loosely packed bubbles, started about 1/2" thick and finished in a skim layer that looks like an agar plate.
Strong citrus and floral smells, a good deal of grapefruit with some tangerines. Has a bit of caramel maltiness evident in the aroma. Overall sweet but hints at a good dosing of hops, hope it lives up to it.
Flavor is a good deal different than the aroma. Its still good but doesn't offer the hop flavor the aroma hinted at. This has a much more pronounced biscuit maltiness to it than I expected. A fair amount of bitterness but doesn't offer up too much in the hop flavor department. Some bitter citrus rind is what I get mostly. Has some herbal, earthyness as well.
Decent mouthfeel. Not quite watery, but not quite medium bodied. Coats the mouthwell though and the bitterness hangs around a bit. A bit lacking in carbonation.
Decent drinkability. Easy to put down though with its lighter mouthfeel and simple but still bitter flavor.

Orange pour, good 1" head, average retention. Aroma was mild, hoppy, I'd guess cascade and chinook up in this one.
Taste, blurs the line between apa and ipa, hoppy, but not bold, or dare I say even average for an ipa out of CO. Twinge of caramel, cara-pils I'd guess. Grapefruity bitterness. Solid beer you could drink a lot of. Nothing special, but goes good with pizza.

It took me a long-ass time to figure what this beer was (yeah, I discarded the bottle after drinking it and taking notes). Alls I remembered was that "Il Vicino" was on the bottle. Anyhow, this is a fine beer. I procured this at the glorious Liquor Mart in Boulder on my travels. It pours a slighty hazy amber with a rocksteady head. Floral bouquet of hops: very pleasant, quite inviting. The hops didn't overwhelm the palate - the balance was great with the malty undertones. Some citrus in the finish. A very delicious beer, that I will sadly, never find in California.

This one pours with no head and a copper color. The aroma is standard citrus/cascade.
The taste has a nice balance of hops and malt, but this beer is thin.
The mouthfeel is so thin and watery that I just cannot get past it to enjoy whatever else this beer istrying to deliver. Just nothing memorable about this one and I would probably pass it up for so many other good and great IPA's on the market.

Had this at Il Vicino (sic) tonight
Poured golden/bronze with of off white head. Good lacing & very good head retention
S: Slight citric hops & some breadyness
T: Crisp citric hops & breadyness up front. As this warms the grapefruit & piney hop attack take over Finishes with loads of citric hop snap & a bit of caramel
MF: Medium bodied with slight over-carbonation & very good balance
Drank too easy, this reminds me of a slightly toned down version of edge city IPA (even though its not their recipe)

Received as an extra in a trade. Bottle says it was bottle in March, so around 2 months old right now
A: Pours a deep orange with some read, not much head on this one.
S: Having a hard time describing the smell of this one, doesn't smell like any IPA I've had before, and not in a good way.
T: Pretty bland and unexciting. Missing hop crispness, some of which should certainly still be around after 2 months.
M: Medium bodied beer, average to poor carbonation
D: I'd like to try one fresh just to see if it was any better, but this is so bad I wouldn't actually go through the trouble of seeking out a fresher one.

Altogether enjoyable..with some flaws.
For an IPA, this is very weak. However, I still rather enjoyed it. This is basically a juicy, light IPA. Subtle, pleasant malt character. Subdued bitterness. Juicy hop character. Slightly watery.
Standout IPA? No. Enjoyable, sessionable IPA? Yes.

A- Fine (but rather generic) looking IPA. A dark gold/light amber hue with that produces nice fluffy head and laces very well.
S- Sweet fruit, a touch of caramel and wheat.
T- Hits the tongue with sweet hops and sweet malts hiding underneath, fruity notes follow as the malts and grains rise to end in a surprisingly malty aftertaste. The hops again show their face here and a little bitterness hangs on the tongue.
M- Lighter than is typical of this style, maybe a 4 on a 1-10 scale.
D- Very drinkable because of sweetness and lighter body.
Overall: This could either be a great IPA or a disappointing one, depending on what you want from your beer. If you love DIPA's and strong smack-you-in-the-face hops, this IPA will fall far short. If you like APA's and sweeter IPA's, this will be a very nice beer.

Smuggled into CT from CO this brew poured a slightly hazy , burnt orange color topped with a steady off white head that faded to a consistent quarter inch head with nice lacing.
Smell was of light pine and citrus , more orange than grapefruit, and sweet malts.
Taste was very, very pleasant . A slight pine hoppiness and a bitterness that teases the back of the mouth.
Alittle watery on the tongue but not watered down.
This is a very drinkable IPA, I personally prefer more of a hop bite from my IPA, not that I was disappointed, but just expecting more zing. An ADIPA ( all day ipa ) for sure. Well balanced with a nice malt finish. Middle of the road but not to be passed on.

Fits more into a pale ale category maybe because of the amount of caramel malt sweetness but still has a good hint of the hop edge - but just a hint. Kinda thin in the mouth and not much carbonation but for some reason it still works. I like it. It's very drinkable and I'll probably finish the sixer I bought tonight. It reminds me of my local brewery, Dry Dock, and their IPA. I can't find how much alcohol is in it anywhere but I'd say it's around 6.2%. This beer is also listed under Il Vicino Wet Mountain IPA. From what I gather, this is a pizza restaurant in New Mexico & Co. Springs that makes award winning beers like this one. But why is it brewed by Bristol? Is it a contract? Who knows. It's not even mentioned on Bristol's web site. It's pretty good though so who cares.

12 oz. bottle poured to snifter.
A: A radiant bright beer, red throughout with a foamy white head.
S: Big grapefruit hop bomb. Floral. Spicy. Some alcohol with underlying caramel notes and fresh cut hay.
T: Quite good. Lots of flavor. Floral hops are prevalent, solid with a slick hop oil finish.
M: Excellent for the style.
D: Beer would go well with American or Italian food. Smooth with a nice tingly hop finish. An easy drinker.
Contract brewed for Il Vicino by Bristol Brewing Company.

Clear, golden orange in color with an off-white head. Im not sure why Bristol brews this under this label but whatever. The smell is slightly hoppy with some caramel malt smells. The taste starts out hoppy with a little citrus (not much) and some bitterness and then fades into a nice malty aftertaste. This is pretty good although the mouthfeel seems thin to me. What does the name mean, Ive never heard of Wet Mountain?

A pint at the Bristol Brewery taproom.
Golden with a chill haze. Decent head and head retention. Good lacing. Muted aroma with more malt characteristics then hops. Muted hop front that quickly fades. Bitter back end. More pale ale than IPA. Maybe this has been sitting around for a bit, but much of the hop characterics you expect from IPAs were missing.

Poured a weak dark reddish color with a thin tannish-gold head. It smelled of bitter hops, but also with tones of fruit and wheat. The taste was notthat great, in fact the taste was severely lacking. It need some work. The hops, malts were to subtle. Very weak IPA.

If you're at risk for heart disease, finding out your coronary calcium score lets you and your doctor know the amount of calcium deposits you have in the arteries of your heart. The more calcium deposits you have, the more plaque - and too much plaque can reduce or cut off the flow of blood and oxygen. This, in fact, is the most common form of heart disease.
Coronary Calcium Scoring at BroMenn is done through a simple, non-invasive CT scan using our super-fast CT scanner. Patients lie on a motorized bed while sensitive X-ray equipment moves around them. Special computer software accelerates the imaging, visually "freezing" the motion of the heart to obtain information. Through this imagery, doctors are able to determine how much calcium is present in the arteries, and where the deposits are located. That information is scored, ranging from zero (which is normal) to several hundred.
Coronary calcium scoring isn't for everyone. People who are considered at low risk generally won't benefit from this test, since there's little chance a significant amount of coronary calcium will be found. Likewise, individuals who are already being treated for heart disease would most likely find the test unnecessary.
Coronary calcium scoring is most helpful for those at intermediate risk. According to the American Heart Association, almost half of all heart-related deaths occur in people with no previous history of heart disease symptoms. Coronary calcium scoring can identify those people who need treatment and act as a catalyst for adopting a healthier lifestyle.
The major risk factors for coronary artery disease are:
Coronary calcium scoring is simple, non-invasive and can reveal life-changing information. If you think you're a good candidate for this test, talk to your doctor to obtain a referral. Contact your insurance company about coverage, as well.

Katie Holmes' hair: the new cut!
Love It or Hate It? Katie Holmes Goes Even Shorter
by POPSUGAR Beauty 94 Reactions 0 Shares Print
How short can she go? Hair risk-taker Katie Holmes was seen leaving Pizzeria Mozza with an even shorter cut than she's been sporting as of late. First it was the daring bob, then the blunt-cut bangs, and now it's a borderline pixie cut. While some people would have a hard time pulling off so many different looks, I am starting to think this woman can do no wrong in the hair department. What do you think?

The cut is fine, but I think it's too mature for her. Isn't she in her 20's??? Am I the only one who's noticed how both babyish and old-looking she's become since Tom? She dresses beyond her years, her hair has gone both babyish and old...like over-compensation for the age gap, and keeping up with Nicole's past presence and fashion hurrah's.

It's not that I "hate" it, but she's just trying too hard to look older than she is all the time, I don't know if she's doing it for Tom, to be taken more seriously as a mother or whatever other weird reason she might have, but I actually prefered her when she was acting her age, being bubbly and all, I do like the fringe on her though.

She has the face to pull off a cut like that and she still manages to look soft, funny, sexy and very chic. I imagine that Katie has an angular face that can rock this look. I'd like to see better pictures, though I have a feeling that I like her previous cut much more.

The holiday parade starts at the high school and ends at the high school.
But long before the parade started students at the school prepared the Toys For Local Children van for the parade procession.
The van will travel the parade route and accept gifts for local children who otherwise might not receive a gift at the holidays.
As far as the parade route goes, the trolley, floats and St. Nick will wind their way through the heart of town, rolling from Vinnin to Salem Street to Humphrey and Burrill.
The Swampscott Police Association's members voted early on, last month, to have a parade, said Det. Ted Delano. After all, many people plan Christmas and holiday parties around the motorized event, huddling in yards to wave at passersby and take in the sights and lights, the detective said.
Already, the department has got six or so calls from people who wanted to know the event's date and time so they could coordinate parties along the parade route.
The parade is Dec. 15. It starts at 6 p.m.
It is open to everyone. All faiths. All ages.
The department is still looking for entries and to arrange music for the show, the detective said.
If your organization would like to join the parade contact Ted Delano, Jim Schultz, Jay Locke or Paul Bartram at 781-595-1111.
Right now it looks like the procession will include 11 or 12 entries.
A U-haul parked at the high school will accept gifts for the Toys for Local Children program.
Those who want to donate to help offset the parade's cost can do so by sending a check to the Swampscott Police Association at 86 Burrill Street, Swampscott, MA, 01907.
The holiday parade gives everyone a warm feeling, especially the kids.
It's also a chance for the entire police department to come together and organize a safe and festive time for the town and to mix with the community.
The van will be operated by members of the Swampscott Police Association during the Holiday Parade. Donations are still being accepted at Swampscott PD and during the parade as well

After a fourth church burglary in three weeks, some Oak Cliff pastors are fed up. The break ins all happened at small churches within a few blocks of each other. And the congregations are left with hefty repair bills.
Pastor David Early discovered on Tuesday that his church, New Calvary Hill, was the latest to get burglarized. Thieves pried open a door and stole big ticket items.
"It's a great loss because this stuff is very expensive. The keyboard cost us about two thousand dollars," said Early.
Thieves also got away with an amplifier, two mixers and four microphones. They even stole paper towels and toilet paper.
In the other three break ins, thieves tore through the roof. At Deliverance Baptist Church, the crooks broke a pipe on the way in, flooding the kitchen.
And at Calvary Philadelphia Missionary Baptist Church, thieves took cash and 100 backpacks and school supplies intended for kids in need. Community members came forward to replace the stolen items so the church could still hold its backpack giveaway.
"I think it is the people who are using the drugs and stuff in the neighborhood," said Early.
The pastors are calling for extra police patrols in the neighborhood.
The Dallas Police department says it is stepping up patrols, but so far no suspects or arrests.
The break in at New Calvary Hill couldn't come at a worse time. The church had planned to honor Pastor Early this weekend with a celebration to mark his 13th year as a preacher.
The celebration won't be the same without the equipment, but he's confident it will still be special and somehow they'll get it replaced.
