Dental Gingival Retraction Cord: What It Is and Why We Use It
An Oral Answers reader, Austin emailed me last week with the following question:
"I had 3 temp crowns that were put in on my right side lower and 2 on my left side lower. Today when I was using my water pic I was cleaning my lower right and something started to feel like it was stuck between my teeth so I kept going and pulled out a black and white string, my gums have been bleeding and hurting. What should I do?"
Before we talk about what happened with Austin, let's take a look at what exactly this "black and white string" was and why it's used in dentistry.
Dental Retraction Cord
Usually when dentists cut teeth for crowns, they will pack a piece of string, known as dental retraction cord, gingival retraction cord, or just dental cord between your tooth and your gums. I've also used retraction cord when doing fillings on teeth that have a cavity that goes below the gum-line.
This cord helps move the gums away from the teeth and can also be treated with a solution that prevents the gums from bleeding. That way, the dentist can focus on preparing the tooth without the gums getting in the way. The dental cord also helps the dentist make sure that the whole tooth gets recorded when an impression is taken.
If you want to see what impression cord looks like in the mouth, scroll down to Figure 3 on this page for a picture (the dentist has prepared a tooth for a type of filling that will be made in a dental lab.) This article has another picture of dental retraction cord.
Is Dental Cord Harmful to Your Gums?
This study looked at a few different ways to retract patients' gum tissue and found that while dental retraction cord does cause an inflammation of the gums, they do completely heal and there is no long-term harm. Here's some direct quotes from the study:
- "This study showed that all retraction techniques caused an acute injury after 1 day of retraction, which took 1 week to heal in the Ultrapak and the Magic Foam groups."
- "This study showed that none of the techniques tested seems to harm the tissues in the long term."
- "The data indicated that all retraction techniques caused a temporary inflammation, measured through the gingival index."
In Austin's case, it would appear that the dentist and dental assistant simply forgot to remove the retraction cord after the impression was taken and just cemented the temporary crowns on the teeth with the retraction cord in place. If the retraction cord was in between the gums and the tooth for an extended period of time, the gum tissues may have started growing around it and it probably caused more pain and bled more when Austin removed the cord during his oral hygiene routine.
Although having the cord around his gums probably wasn't very comfortable, the studies seem to show that there aren't any long-term harmful effects.
Thanks for your question, Austin. Hopefully you've helped more people know what to do if they end up finding some cord between their teeth and gums after getting their temporary crowns put on!
If you have any questions about dental retraction cord, I'd love to hear them in the comments section below. Thanks for reading!

This is really interesting - I had never even heard of a dental retraction cord before. I have a few questions:
1. Is it just a simple cord coated with (something), or is it made out of something special?
2. Is it typically left in place only for the time it takes to make an impression or fill a tooth and then removed immediately after?
3. Is this technique something that nearly all dentists use as a routine, or is it just personal preference whether a dentist wants to use it or not?
Thanks for such an informative article!
Thanks Tom, that was helpful!
Hi Tom,
I just what to know what might be the cause of the numbness of my patient on left side of his face and lips wherein I just put Gingi- Pak on Distal of 36 and done restoration of Cl II DO cavity?
Thank you
Dr. Glad
Thank goodness I found this page! I had temporary caps put on my front teeth a few days ago and my gums are so swollen and irritated now. Instead of the pain lessening every day, it's actually getting a little more painful every day. Tonight, while brushing my teeth I noticed something that looks like dark string at the gum line and coming down between the teeth. I guess they forgot to remove the cord. By the time the dentist's office is open again I will have had the cord on for 5 days! Am I at risk for infection? Should I call the dentist's emergency number or will I be ok waiting until Monday morning?
Hi Tom:
I got my question answered by your posting ! Today I sat in a dentist's chair for two hours start-to-finish for a molar crown prep.
The only thing that brought tears to my eyes was during the cord packing, which the dentist said that some people want more numbing during the packing. I managed to get through it with the primary numbing dose and no more.
I have had packing cord used in my mouth before, and today after my visit, I concluded that it was probably for getting a better impression of the tooth, without the gumline getting in the way of the impressed image. I was pretty correct, but now I know better why and when it is used...
After feeling "rattled around" for two hours, high speed burr, low speed burr, numbing needles, synthetic buildup compounds, impressiion mold compound, distasteful packing solution going into my throat a little, etc. I had a good dinner chewing on the other side of my mouth, and a nice walk, boy, do I feel better now that my nerves are back in order !
ALSO, YOUR OPINION, if a porclein over gold molar crown is only $200 more than a porclein over non-precious metal molar crown, in today's precious metals market, is the porclein over gold molar crown a better value, even though it is $200 more ?? How much gold is in a porclein over gold molar crown ?? I always get porclein over non-precious metal, because the porclein surface usually gets more worn out before anything ever happens to the base metal. If the gold content is high, maybe the porclein over gold molar crown can be better looked upon more as an investment, and sold in the future (asset liquidation) if need be ??
Thanks for your website. Is is very informative, and I am going to bookmark it for future reference.
hi tom,
it's me mr.rakesh.i want to know that ,Is the gingival retraction cord used before or after tooth cutting.
Good evening. I have a temp crown on #11, waiting three weeks for the permenant and I distinctly remember the technician packing a cord when she put the temporary on for the last time. I thought maybe to keep a space for the permenant. This cord is white and is starting to come out.
Its friday morning and all 8 of my front teeth are out. They DID have TEMPS for CROWNS on, but
they all fell off the first day, which was Wednesday of this week.
Im afraid I went to a new, young, experimental dentist and I've learned my lesson. Plus I don't think you were around at the time of my initial serarch for a dentist.
Are you open after lunch this afternon? Thought I could run in and have you reglue them in, butI may just have the problem til the permanents come in>
Please call as soon as you can get my information.
escape key, and another pain cemterc
Is there some string or cord under a permanent crwn? If so, what if its coming out?
hey there, iam a dental assistant and I am glad to find this page. I want to know if you can show a video or give some tips of how to remove the cords when it's time to do the last impression. I've been having a hard time getting a good grip on those cords because they have to be taken out fast. so if you have anything that can help that would be great !!
Hi, this post was very helpful! I think the dentist has left a portion of dental retraction cord in my gums and he will be getting a call from me in the morning. This was my second crown build up, and unlike the first time, the gum pain has not gone away. Definitely feels like something is shoved down in there were it should not be.
Hi Tom.
In all the years and all of the crowns I have had put in, I never came across this retraction cord. Today however, I have a couple of questions for you about this Dental Gingival Retraction Cord. How long has it been around? Anyway, I recently had a root canal done on a molar through an existing crown. There was also decay remaining that necessitated ultimately removing and replacing the crown as well.
In the process, I had an upper crown replaced opposite the aforementioned one and to get a better mold for a new crown a couple layers of cord was inserted under the gum line. It went smooth.
Back on the lower tooth the decay was drilled and it apparently extended below the gum line at which point the dentist indicated that the gum needed to be trimmed back in order to be able to complete the work.
My question is, if the cord worked well enough to get around the gum line on the upper tooth for a mold, then why wouldn't it be suitable to provide space to drill out the decay below the gum line? That is one of the stated purposes for using the cord isn't it? This trimming is on a gum line that is already receding, and besides that it is fairly costly to boot. I believe this is for something called crown lengthening to conceal the exposed root due to a receded gum line.
I'll leave it to you from here Tom. Thanks kindly for your input.
Lately I have had far too much experience with the retraction cord! It's a long story, but I had a root canal in January and after having two ill-fitting crowns arrive from the lab and we are hoping that the third impression will be perfect. We just might get this stubborn tooth capped in May! During the lengthy process of having many molds taken of this one tooth, my dentist has been very hesitant to give any kind of numbing agent to dull the pain.
I am curious. Do most dentists numb patients during the packing of the retraction cord? My dentist has even used a lazar at one point and the pain was INTENSE. Not to mention the smell. I understand that the tooth root is dead because of the root canal, but my gums are killing me. Should she at least be numbing the area during the procedure? Or am I a wimp?
Great blog, thanks.
Atlanta, GA
I wonder if the cord is not still in my gums because ever since i had caps put on my front teeth my gums are red and get bumps around my teeth like when you have an abcess. I have bought a water pick and it made my gums bleed bad at first but it is getting better. If the cord is in there will my gums ever heal? Is there a way that an xray would be able to see it?
Hi. This was very interesting for me as I just had a crown prep 2 days ago. I have 8 crowns done over the last 15 years...all the dentists have used the gingival retraction cord except the dentist 2 days ago. The temp crown he put in was quite uncomfortable. I could feel the sharp edge all around the tooth with my tongue. There was a large gap between the temp crown and my gum. Food got caught in it 3 times over 2 days. Last night a tiny sharp piece of tooth or plastic came out from between the temp crown and the next tooth but nothing felt different so I let that go. When ever I bite down to chew or just experimenting, the temp crown and the opposing tooth are the first to come together. Then tonight, the temp crown just fell off. I've never had this happen although always was warned that it could happen. I will go back to the dentist to morrow morning.
Thanks for any answers you can give me.
So my questions are:
1) is the temp crown the exact same as the real crown.
2) should the temp crown go below the gum too? I think they did on all my earlier crowns.
3) is it really possible to get below the gum line without using the cord
Tom -
I left a comment the other day regarding everything I have been going through with my oral restoration and it seems I can't get a break. I have the best care in the world but in your experience have you every worked with someone who just has very brittle teeth and bone? Thinking I was through everything and now just awaiting my new appointment to get my impressions, this weekend I ended up with a verticle fracture on one of the 7 crowns. There was a temp in place and now unfortunately a crown can not be used. It was the Right Incisor and both to the either side are also crowns which long term could be questionable if we are to attach a bridge. What would you recommend? I also wanted to know your thoughts on this tool called "The Tapper".
I know nothing comes easy however at what point do I just give up.
Hello. If the Dr accidentally leaves the thin retraction cord in the patient tooth, what may the patient experience the first day?
I had a bridge that fell out some months ago and where one tooth used to be there are these short little strings sticking up. Is that the same as the chords? I fell like I can pull them out, but just playing with them with my tongue sometimes hurt if I rub them the wrong way. There is little pieces of tooth at the bottom of the gum where the tooth used to be and it's started to rot. But I really want to know what are all those little strings sticking up from my gum,? They are driving me Crazy!
When I did my bridge over, the dentist did not use the retraction cord. Is the cord neccessary in order to get an accurate impression?
Two weeks ago I had front teeth fillings done. The dentist used a retraction string to hold the gum back but did not warn me ahead of time she was using this method. I had never had this done before. Now two weeks later one of my front teeth the gum on it is still raised and I noticed it after the procedure and it is still raise now. The gum is higher up than the one next to it and when I scrape my fingernail across it I can fit my nail to where the beginning of the root would be. When I eat I feel air and food and drink going into that area of the tooth. What should I do?

I know there will be quite a few ex-bondi guys down there dying for a shot at getting back into games.
It always makes me feel warm inside to read stories of success for halfbrick; It's great to see some home town heroes making it big in a market that has been all but stomped out in Australia.

Aye, too right Luke - Halfbrick makes fun games as well - I wouldn't say that Fruit Ninja is their best work by any stretch (although it is fun :)). They've got that spark of creativity that works well, and hope they keep it for as long as possible :).

(WMC-TV) – Finding a parking spot in Midtown Memphis just got a little easier, and for the month of October using the new parking garage will be free.
Overton Square's multimillion dollar parking garage is now open and offers 451 parking spaces. Several new restaurants and other business helped bring new life to the area, and the garage aims to facilitate the need for parking spaces.
"I think a lot of people have been hesitant to park at Overton Square because parking's been an issue. It's been hard to park on the street," said Overton Square business owner Olivia Lomax of Delta Groove Yoga.
Loeb Properties is managing garage operations for the city of Memphis. The city purchased the land from Loeb in 2012 and construction has been underway for the last year. The city built a storm water detention facility that sits below the garage to keep Midtown from flooding.
While parking is free in October, a $3 flat fee will begin in November between the hours of 6 p.m. and 4 a.m.
"It's just been tremendous. I can sit down and enjoy that cup of coffee before I come to work instead of losing an extra 10 or 15 minutes trying to rush and find a parking spot," said Bar Louie employee Theron Evans.
Daytime parking will be free, according to a spokesperson for Loeb Properties.

Sacramento Kings forward Andres Nocioni pleaded no contest today and was sentenced to three years of informal probation for his Nov. 5 downtown drunken driving arrest.
Superior Court Judge Emily E. Vasquez also ordered Nocioni, who was not present in the courtroom, to perform two days of community services, complete a three-month class and pay fines totaling about $2,500 dollars.
Nocioni's lawyer, Bill Portanova, said that the professional basketball player "has been embarrassed by this situation, and he hopes that something good can come from it."
Nocioni was pulled over at L and 9th streets after visiting a downtown club. His blood-alcohol level registered at .12. The legal limit in California is .08.
Portanova called his client "a good, solid family man" who hopes to use the incident to step up his game.
"He has just been working that much harder to make up," Portanova said.
Portanova said that Nocioni still faces possible discipline from the National Basketball Association.

Wrought Iron Chandeliers
Before we proceed any further it is important to note that the term wrought iron used to refer to a type of iron alloy which made the iron very malleable, easy to weld and at the same time strong. After the advent of steel, wrought iron is rarely manufactured and the real wrought iron on the market today is mostly all to replace and restore historical items. Whatever you find on the market labelled as wrought iron is more likely to be a type of mild steel.
Mild steel is a steel with a higher percentage of carbon and has similar properties to wrought iron's. Whether you buy a real wrought iron or a mild steel chandelier ensure that your ceiling can support it as this type of chandeliers can be rather heavy. On the plus side they do require very little maintenance especially compared to crystal or glass chandelier. Worth also noting that most wrought iron chandeliers will look better in a traditional or rustic decor but there are models on the market that might look great in a more minimalistic and modern decor. Wrought iron chandeliers can be found both as electric as non electric.

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown has passed away. Brown, a former defensive lineman at Illinois, was on the Cowboys practice squad this season. Current Fighting Illini head coach Tim Beckman tweeted the news of Brown's passing:
Sad news for the Illini #Family today. Jerry Brown, former Illini and current NFL player has passed away. Keep him in your prayers.— Tim Beckman (@coachbeckman) December 8, 2012
Former Illinois star wideout and current Buccaneer Arrelious Benn also tweeted about the passing of his former teammate:
Prayers go out to the family of my former classmate, teammate Former Illini Jerry Brown RIP #illini— Arrelious Benn (@ArreliousBenn) December 8, 2012
Shortly after the news of Brown's death spread, reports emerged that he was killed in an accident involving teammate Josh Brent, who was driving a car involved in the accident that killed Brown. Brent has been charged with intoxicated manslaughter.
Brown, a St. Louis native, was an undrafted free agent and bounced around the league. He did play in one game with the Colts this season in Week 6, before moving on to the Cowboys practice squad.

Today sees the release of the James McAvoy and Mark Strong-starring "Welcome To The Punch," and as you'll know if you've read our review, it's a slick, unusually ambitious, gorgeous-looking and absorbing British cops-and-robbers flick. It's also the latest film (with Danny Boyle's even better "Trance" following sharp on its heels next week) to prove that our cousins across the pond can take on the crime movie with the best of them.
U.K. crime cinema doesn't necessarily have the immediate iconography or obvious movements of the 1930s Warner Bros gangster pictures, film noir of the 1940s, the Coppola and Scorsese epics of the 1970s and 1980s, or the quirky comedies from the Coens and Tarantino in the 1990s. But there's a long history of thieves, robbers, murderers and more in British movies, in a variety of films that may have flown under your radar. And so with "Welcome To The Punch" on VOD and in limited released, and "Trance" on the way next week, we thought it was a perfect time to pick out some of our favorite crime pictures from the Sceptred Isle. Read our picks below, and let us know your own favorites in the comments section.
We hope we wouldn't have to say this, but if you're after a cinematic take on Graham Greene's seminal novel "Brighton Rock," you should run a million miles from the recent, impressively-cast (Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Helen Mirren, John Hurt) but ill-conceived remake, and stick with the 1947 original. Richard Attenborough (reprising the role that brought him to fame on the West End stage a few years earlier) stars as Pinkie, a fresh-faced psychopath in a gang in the coastal town of the title, who finds himself rising up the ranks after killing a newspaper reporter. To avoid the rap, he marries besotted waitress (and witness to the crime) Rose (Carol Marsh) to stop her from being able to testify against him, but with the law and rival gangs closing in, Pinkie decides he might have to take more drastic action. Penned by Greene and "The Deep Blue Sea" author Terrence Rattigan, and directed by the somewhat forgotten filmmaker John Boulting, it's one of the seminal, and probably earliest, examples of the British gangster film (retitled, for its U.S. release, "Young Scarface," marking quite the contrast with its earlier namesake), melding Boulting's fine, almost proto-noirish sense of place, the seedy underworld of the picturesque seaside locale, with Greene's ever-simmering Catholic moralism. It's stylishly made and dark as you like, but what really stands out is the astonishing, terrifying bug-eyed turn from Attenborough, a million miles away from the avuncular star of "Jurassic Park" and director of "Gandhi" he'd become in later years. Attenborough became one of the most important figures in the British film industry, but this acting role is the one he'll always be remembered for.
This cool neo-noir follows the aspiring writer Jack Manfred (Clive Owen), who ends up taking a job as a casino croupier in order to make ends meet, which leads him both to juggling three women -- a store detective (Gina McKee), a fellow croupier (Kate Hardie), and a high-rolling South African gambler (Alex Kingston) -- and being the inside man of a heist of his workplace set up by the latter. It's pretty thin on plot, or even much in the way of the staples of the genre, but makes up for it with lashings of atmosphere, a realistic and lived-in sense of the world, and most of all, the casting of Clive Owen -- in his breakout feature film role -- who commands the movie in a lead turn that's both suave and self-aware. Owen's narration -- taken from the thinly-veiled novel he's writing, gives it echoes of both classic crime fiction, and a more complex examination of narrative. It mostly disappeared when it debuted in the U.K. in 1998, but became a critical darling in the U.S. two years later, earning a devoted following and placing on the National Board Of Review list of top ten films for 2000. So all in all, a fine return to the genre for Mike Hodges, who perhaps made the seminal British crime film with "Get Carter" (see below), and he reteamed with Owen soon after for the lesser, but still worthwhile "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead."
If you're looking to find a fairly unusual "British Crime" film that barely fits into this motley crew of movies, Ben Wheatley's debut, "Down Terrace," could be the one. As English as Marmite, "Down Terrace" can seem like an acquired taste with its pitch black and Sahara-dry humor, mixed with truly disturbing and purposefully banal sequences, but when it connects, "Down Terrace" is wicked, and wickedly funny. A dysfunctional family film centered around murder and betrayal, set in Down Terrace in Brighton, the movie chronicles the Hill family, who soon unveil themselves to be genteel sociopaths and criminals. Upon release from prison Bill (Robert Hill), his son Karl (his real life son Robin) and his wife Maggie (Julia Deakin) decide they should try and flush out who ratted on the two criminals. This doesn't really mean bloody recriminations (at least not at first) and but more the very English manner of bringing friends and suspects over for tea and dinner to talk. One by one, associates are politely dispensed with and Karl -- who has recently learned he is going to be a father -- begins to fray and come unhinged, wanting to leave this life of crime behind to just become a good dad. Featuring the use of hilariously ironic folk music and blues (Karen Dalton, Robert Johnson), much of the humor in the film is derived by the absurd mundanity of the situations (the Hills arguing with a friend to come out of a bathroom so they can let him go, deciding he's not a culprit, only to kill him anyway). It's not quite as accomplished as Wheatley's other films, "Kill List" and "Sightseers," but it's brilliant in spots and certainly announced the arrival of fresh new voice in English cinema, who has risen to be one of the best indie auteurs we've got at the moment.
Much more a psychopath film or even a twisted serial killer movie, "Gangster #1" still obviously applies here, as it's set in the London's crime world in the 1960s. Bookended by a much older version of said numero uno gangster in the present day (played by Malcolm McDowell), "Gangster #1" opens up with some old, fatcat gangsters watching a boxing game, when one of them mentions that Freddie Mays is finally getting out of jail. This triggers an angry and upset McDowell's trip down memory lane, which forces the narrative to flashback to the younger version of this top dog (now played by Paul Bettany) in the 1960s. The film then charts the rise of the anonymous gangster as he becomes muscle for the influential London gangster Freddie Mays (David Thewlis). But "Gangster #1" has much more on its mind than your typical crime film and the movie chronicles our lead's mad obsession with Freddie's power, wealth and status, to the point of wanting not just to become him, but to inhabit his soul. "Persona" for the gangster set? Maybe, as it's just as much a picture about identity and rivalry as anything else. Directed by Paul McGuigan ("The Acid House," "Lucky Number Slevin"), while "Gangster #1" looks appropriately vintage and does feature strong, unhinged performances by McDowell and Bettany (who became a star off the back of the film), that might be the only thing the movie does right other than its off-the-rails psychopath sequences that are as if Alex from "Clockwork Orange" grew up to be not only a raving loon, but a monstrous sociopath as well. Marred by constant, unnecessary voice over from McDowell, "Gangster #1" just slathers it all on, never really takes a break in tone or defines to the audience why they should care. Even more ill-fitting is the finale. McDowell once again returns as the aged version of Bettany, but Thewlis, and co-stars Saffron Burrows and Eddie Marsan inexplicably stay the same. Uneven at best, we'll admit the themes of "Gangster #1" make it far more interesting than it perhaps has the right to be, which just about allows it to sneak onto this list.
Perhaps best defined by its jazzy and supercool funk score by Roy Budd (which you can bet your ass was listened to closely by David Holmes when he scored Soderbergh's "Ocean's" films), Mike Hodges' outstanding 1971 crime pic, is brutal, but also refined, elegant and chic in a way most British crime films are not. Featuring as magnetic a performance as Michael Caine ever gave, it's also one of the best British films ever, wherein the star plays the eponymous Carter, a Newcastle-born, London-based gangster. The plan is to run away with his boss' girl (Britt Ekland), but Carter's life takes a turn for the unexpected when his brother is killed (seemingly in a drunk driving accident) and he has to return home for the first time in several decades. Setting out to track down the man responsible, Carter uncovers all kinds of corruption, betrayal and insidious acts in the process. Caine stalks the north-eastern industrial wasteland like he owns the joint, burying his charm deep down; he's magnetic, but never pleasant, getting up to some truly abhorrent acts, and coming across as nothing less than a Cockney Angel of Death. And when combined with the assuredness with which Hodges directs, and the bleak, almost existential feel of the script (right down to the ending), it adds up to something of a crime classic. Stay far, far away from the Sylvester Stallone-starring remake (which Caine cameos in); this one's the real deal.

An excellent list. I thought I knew ALL the great British crime/gangster/thriller pictures but I did not know The Hit. Now I do! Thank you.
dave | October 6, 2013 6:40 AM
Have yet to find a list of great British gangster films that includes on of the greatest. roeg and Cammel's Performance.
steve | July 31, 2013 6:29 AM
yea, good list, and for sure the original Get Carter should be watched before the remake.... Incidentally, a friend of mine is about wrapped up on a gangster movie, a british gangster movie, http://hackneymovie.com/.
Martyn | July 16, 2013 9:11 AM
Trying to recall a 70s British crime thriller. I remember robbers stopping a security van and spraypainting the windscreen and windows before dropping a smoke bomb through the roof. Rings any bells?
Thomas | June 16, 2013 5:05 PM
It may technically be Hollywood, but for me Hitchcock's Frenzy is a classic British movie (along with some of his others).
And how about London Boulevard?
Jamie | April 4, 2013 7:44 PM
You can find Sapphire among others with this DVD Eclipse Series 25: Basil Dearden's London Underground (Sapphire / The League of Gentlemen / Victim / All Night Long) (The Criterion Collection) (1962)
John Ninnis | April 3, 2013 4:20 AM
Great choices. I am a big fan of British thrillers Get Carter, The Long Good Friday and Mona Lisa. Glad you put in The Squeeze, a great undervalued film that should get recognisation.
Face is another great crime film great cast and soundtrack.
One film you forgot to put on the list is Buster. Not excellent like films above but a good film with Larry Lamb who steals the show.

no mention of The Bank Job?
Michael | March 30, 2013 10:55 PM
Excellent list. Sapphire is easily available in Criterion's excellent set, Eclipse Series 25: Basil Dearden's London Underground (along with The League of Gentleman, also mentioned above). A nice little bit of British nasty, directed by Edward Dmytryk, can be found courtesy of Criterion via HULU--it's original title is 'The Hidden Room' but known as 'Obsession' (as it is on Hulu).
Great list!
Mick | March 29, 2013 5:20 PM
Your choices are great. It seems that the British are very good at making crime movies. Though its was a TV series, "THE TAKE" was one of the best things ever put on film. The cast was exceptional. A geat chemistry between actors and actresses. Tom Hardy.....Freddie...such a performance. Mind blowing acting ability. His performance sticks to you like glue. The Cohen Brothers need to put him something and get just part of what he can do and have a gigantic hit.
MDL | March 28, 2013 3:10 PM
THE BLUE LAMP by Basil Dearden should at least get a mention. It's a seminal British crime film made in 1950 and is as good as Brighton Rock.
Jamie | March 27, 2013 9:04 PM
Went hunting on Amazon and found this collection: Basil Deardon's London Underground which contains Sapphire, The League of Gentlemen, Victim, and All Night Long
Jamie | March 27, 2013 8:55 PM
I went through the whole list saying, "Where's Saphire?" only to get to the bottom and seeing that it has become difficult to find. I urge anyone who has not seen it to make the effort. It won the 1959 BAFTA as Best British film and deserved it. The conflict between crime, race relations and early rocker England plus a great mystery, make it a don't miss film.
Dan Ashcroft | March 27, 2013 6:51 PM
THE ITALIAN JOB deserves a mention. Would have easily had LAYER CAKE in the list too.
JR | March 27, 2013 4:53 PM
Uh... Layer Cake? I do not see it
fng | March 27, 2013 4:08 PM
Not sure whether it qualifies or not, but I think ''Bronson'' at least deserves an honorable mention?
dub | March 27, 2013 3:16 PM
Where the hell is Layer Cake!?
Ana | March 27, 2013 1:18 PM
I thought you'd have Followin by Nolan up here. That's as a great austere brittish crime film as you can get.
max | March 27, 2013 1:02 PM
ROBBERY (1967) by the great Peter Yates is pretty damn great. Unfortunately it's not available in the U.S., except for those who have an all-region DVD player (they can be bought fairly cheaply nowadays - just over $100) and feel like ordering the disc (which is, also, inexpensive) through Amazon.UK.
Todd | March 27, 2013 12:54 PM
"Time Without Pity" is a nice Joseph Losey crime and punishment film.

The Villa after its builder
Under Severans, the Villa was used even in 3rd century. Diocletian of 3rd century experienced great pleasure in using the villa. His successor Constantine took away all the artworks to his palace in his new capital, Constantinople.
After his time, the villa fell in ruin. The excavation started and continued for one millennia to the extent of not leaving even a single piece of marble untouched. But during middle ages, the marbles were burnt and recycled for further use. During 17th and 18th centuries, the remaining treasures were despoiled and distributed across Europe. The land was also divided into various separate properties. Few of the left out heritage collections are now in Vatican and Capitoline Museums.
The real excavations started in19th century in the unified Italy. In 1999 Villa Hadriana reached the honorable Human Heritage Monument list of Unesco.

During the Ben Roethlisberger press conference on Monday afternoon, the DA Fred Bright said the accuser had sent a letter to him several weeks earlier asking that the matter not be pursued.
Courtesy of ESPN, we've got the full letter.
The Cliff's Notes version is that the media attention in the case "would not be in the best interest" of the accuser.
As you know, we represent the complainant in the referenced matter, and it is about that that I write you at this time.
After a great deal of deliberation, our client has instructed us to advise you that she does not want to prosecute this matter further. While I am well aware that the prosecution decision rests with the Distinct Attorney, and not the complaining party, it is appropriate that you be aware of this fact as you make your decision.
What is obvious in looking forward is that a criminal trial would be a very intrusive personal experience for a complainant in the situation, given the extraordinary media attention that would be inevitable. The media coverage to date and the efforts of the media to access our client have been unnerving to say the least.
In short, no matter the outcome of a criminal trial, our client has had sound professional advice since this incident that participating in a public trial would not at all be in her best interest as she goes forward with her life. That is a decision that we, as her attorneys, fully support. As should be clear from what I have said here, this decision does not reflect any recanting of our client's complaint, but simply a realistic, personal decision as to what is in her best interests, and what it would be like to go through a trial with the expected media attention.
Please let me know if you need any further information.

LOVE | Reviewer: Samie | 9/27/11
Fall Out Boy is the best fucking band on Gods green earth in my opinion. Patrick's voice is that of an angel<3 If a day goes by that I don't listen to at least one Fall Out Boy song, I feel incomplete. No one can capture teen angst and heartbreak quite like this group. LONG LIVE FOB!!! <3
LOVE FOB!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Faylene | 1/14/11

sigh | Reviewer: Kimberly | 3/23/10
I heard they are supposed to be breaking up. It's quite sad and Pete blames himself. Lots of people only like FOB for Pete but I'm one of the people who likes the whole band. In some places they are considered an emo band. I don't know if they'll continue without Pete. He said they grew apart as a band and that it was nothing personal.*sigh
ah!mazing:) | Reviewer: Jamitha | 2/4/10
i am a huge FOB fan. have been since i was like 11. im turning 17 and i just wanted to say, come out with another amazing album boys:)
your songs get me through everything!!! i have yet to find a song that i dont like and i want more!!
i hate when people are fans of Fall Out Boy just cause of Pete Wentz. i adore all of you.
i have yet to go to your concert. too mush money and you guys havent been around in awhile.
hope to see one soon:)
love, your biggest fan.
p.s awe himmingway:)
Just plain amazing.. xD | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/29/09
I've loved FOB since I was 10, now I'm 13!
It all started with From Under The Cork Tree. When I was 12 I bought TTTYG and just a few days ago I bought Folie a Deux. I absolutely love Calm Before The Storm, Tiffany Blews, Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today, 27, The Shipped Gold Standard, I Slept With Someone, Alphadog, Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner, Pretty in Punk, Short, Fast and Loud, Grand Theft Autumn and Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes. I have never met anyone who loves Fall Out Boy like me. My friend is obsessed with MCR, my other friend loves Green Day. I only know songs from Black Parade and I've only heard 21 Guns, Wake me up when september ends and American Idiot! Oh and I love Patrick Stump.
Oh, and other peoples, don't worry if people make fun of you/your opinion because you have a right to an opinion, but so do other people. I never get teased or anything for liking them because my friends like them too! And I'd probably beat them up if they said anything about FOB. (Not really, I couldn't beat up a can of coke! I'm very weak. :()
I really like Fall Out Boy...especially Patrick and Joe! | Reviewer: Future Mrs. Stump | 11/29/09
Oh wow...Soo I have a lot to say about Fall Out Boy. I got a Creative Zen (like an i-pod but you don't have to use i-tunes...)about 3 or 4 Christmases ago and my cousin put Infinity on High and From Under the Cork Tree on it. I really liked those songs, so decided to see if they had any other CD's out. They did. Now, three/two (can't remember lol) years later I have TTTYG, IOH, From Under The Cork Tree, Folie a Deux and soon I'll have Believers Never Die! I really like their lyrics, and I can relate to them...They're not just meaningless words that just "sound good" or "rhyme" they are actual stories with music. There's a song for almost every mood I'm in. (I Don't Care for a bad mood! I Slept With Someone when I'm feeling a lil annoyed or something.)
And I don't just care about a certain Mr. Wentz's looks, I actually think their music is great! (Btw, Patrick is waay sexier than Pete. xD)
None of my friends really like FOB like I do. It's kinda lonely not being able to talk about jokes FOB have said, or how good songs are, or how their music has changed from TTTYG to Folie a Deux stuff, but that's OK because I talk about it anyway! No one knows what I'm talking about and they think it's weird when I laugh out loud because something they've said reminds me of something Patrick, Pete, Joe or Andy said once!
~Drinkin' garlic butter with the homies~
~That's what she said!~
~If dudes can have babies by then~
~It's the musical equivalent of naming a book "The Bible"~
~Potatoe pancakes and a dradle~
~Joe wouldn't make it across the border with what he's made up of!~
~Someones touching my back and I'm not gonna look because I know it's not a hot girl~
~You eat poo for breakfast, lunch and dinner~
~I have more hair. More than the average man~
~Joe: I'm a little dude, she's a little girl. Pete: Gross.~
~Pete: Oh my God it's Patrick Stump! Patrick: Oh my God I am!~
(: | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/09
i just want to say how amazing fall out boy is, they are my favorite band of all time and i know and love every single one of their songs. i've been to three of their concerts and got about 5 feet away from pete, i would do almost anything to meet them all.

EveryBody Has One
In My Opinion
By Cecilia Stanford
The first sequel to "Why i Did What i Do," a book of artist's statements, this is more statements and thoughts on what we humans share, regardless of culture, background, abilities or disabilities. She Sheep continues to appear in these pages, seeking adventure and wisdom.
About the Author
Many years ago, I invested a dollar in a handwriting analysis, done by computer. Among other things, the analysis gave me the following information: I am impatient when things do not go according to plan; have a clever and calculating mind; a tendency to worry needlessly and could succeed as a critic in dramatic fields. Having spent most of my adult life, at that time, in southern California, it seemed accurate enough. Some of it still is. Factually, I had studied art at the University of Oklahoma, my home state. After a seventeen year hiatus, however, I took a degree in Theater Arts at San Diego State University, then worked as a professional costumer for 18 years, supporting my habit to make art in San Diego. During all of this, I have had the good fortune to take a class with clay guru Phil Cornelius and a traditional mosaic apprenticeship with artist and designer James Hubbell. Both of these creative men greatly influenced my approach to living artfully.

WAYCROSS, Ga.(WJXT) - In a packed room, filled with more than a dozen community members, Camden County Sheriff Jim Proctor commented on the pictures recently released showing one of his deputies in blackface.
"Today, we are here because of someone's inappropriate, insensitive actions. Extremely insensitive, is what it is. I do not believe Chad Palmer is a racist. I have had to take action," said Camden County Sheriff Jim Proctor.
Camden County Deputy Chad Palmer allegedly wore a costume to a Halloween party and told others he was dressed as a "Camden County inmate." The pictures shows Palmer dressed in a Camden County jail uniform with his skin painted black.
Palmer has been suspended without pay and has been placed on probation with the CCSO for one year. Palmer, as well as the entire team of deputies, will be required to go through sensitivity training which will begin Monday, according to Proctor.
"There's been a lot of thought, a lot of prayer in to this decision," Proctor said to the crowd that included representatives from local churches and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Chief Proctor said Palmer will remain suspended until Proctor deems it's ok for Palmer to come back to work.
"I thought about firing him but decided against it," Proctor stated.

CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. There are strong reactions from the community today after First Coast News Jacksonville discovered this photo of a Camden County Sheriff's Deputy, allegedly in blackface at a Halloween party.
In the photo, the man can be seen with black paint covering his face and arms, wearing a jail uniform. People at the party told First Coast News the deputy said he was a Camden County inmate, and he was picking cotton.
In a phone conversation with First Coast News, a spokesman for the Sheriff told us the costume was, "unacceptable," but would not comment further.
The Sheriff has called a news conference to discuss the costume tomorrow. The woman who first saw the photo and posted it to Facebook told First Coast News she was scared of retribution, and she thinks the photo clearly shows a bias in the department.

Police link fentanyl to three deaths in Addison CountyFebruary 06,2014Staff Report
BURLINGTON - Health and public safety officials are warning heroin users that product sold as heroin and packaged in the same manner as heroin may instead contain pure fentanyl or fentanyl-laced heroin.
The Vermont Department of Health reported Thursady afternoon it has just confirmed the cause of three deaths in Addison County in January to be overdoses from pure fentanyl. Fentanyl is an opioid drug that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin, and much deadlier.
"Heroin users may not know they are shooting up fentanyl, or they may not know just how deadly it is," said Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen. "Even a very small amount of pure fentanyl, just a few grains, can stop your breathing and kill."
Fentanyl generally is used intravenously in hospitals to treat pain.
Police said this week they are trying to develop information about the packaging source and distribution of the drug.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Tommy Rees threw two touchdowns before leaving the game with an injury and Notre Dame snapped a five-game home losing streak to USC with a 14-10 victory on Saturday night.
Rees was 14 of 21 passing for 166 yards with TD throws to Troy Niklas and TJ Jones in the first half. Rees left the game when he was sacked by USC linebacker Lamar Dawson in the third quarter and didn't return.
USC managed just 121 total yards of offense in the second half. After converting both third-down conversions on their opening scoring drive, the Trojans went 0-of-11 the rest of the game.
The Irish (5-2) beat the Trojans (4-3) for the third time in the past four games, after losing the previous eight straight, and won the rivalry game at home for the first time since 2001.

Many hospitals lack centralized backup systems. The most common
reason is that most hospitals have multiple HIMS vendors, and these
vendors each supply turnkey systems with software, servers, storage,
and tape backup. It is very common to find a hospital with multiple
tape formats and multiple backup software products. This complexity
translates to higher costs and less reliability.
Cambridge Computer has the skills and expertise to help you consolidate
backups. We have experience with most of the major HIMS vendors,
including Meditech, Eclipsys, and McKesson. We also have extensive
experience with the leading databases, email systems, and archival
applications. We can design a centralized backup system that encompasses
all of your disparate systems -- even when your vendors insist on
having dedicated resources and boundaries between the systems they
support and those supported by others.

Guten Morgen alle! Conner, who would normally be doing today's Daily Bears Report, was informed last night that he is now a Baylor University Chamber of Commerce pledge , so he was indisposed doing important things related to that. Also, congratulations Conner!
Today is a very busy day in Baylor sports. If there is a team that is in-season right now, it is playing (save Men's Tennis, who played on Friday). Plus, Full Speed Friday occurred yesterday. Not to mention, it is the anniversary of the chartering of the oldest continually-operating university in the great state of Texas!
Let's get down to business and defeat the Cowboys, Longhorns, and Gators!
In Season: Men's and Women's Basketball
Men's Basketball Heads to Stillwater - BaylorBears.com
Baylor vs. Oklahoma State, 1:00 p.m. CST, Stillwater, OK
The Man Bears are in action today at 1:00 in the awful land known as Stillwater, Oklahoma. They are welcomed to the Gallagher-Iba Arena by No. 8 Oklahoma State, a team looking to rebound from a beating at the hands of hated rivals Oklahoma. Baylor, meanwhile, will be looking to end a five-game losing streak.
The Cowboys are led by Marcus Smart's 17.3 ppg. There's no question that Smart needs to be shut down if Baylor are to avoid losing their sixth straight. What Baylor needs to do better has already been discussed at length here on ODB, so I'll just give a short summary. The Bears need to make free throws in order to pull off the unlikely upset; Baylor is shooting a paltry 55.8% from the line during their losing streak. Transition defense, which has been a problem all season, likely will not be fixed from Tuesday, but one can hope.
This will be a tough game for the Bears, especially since the Cowboys have not lost at home all season.
In addition, Saturday is Autism Awareness Day. From the OSU website:
Autism Awareness Day
Coach Travis Ford is one of nearly 100 men's basketball coaches throughout the country that will be wearing the "Autism Speaks" pin on his suit jacket Saturday. Towson's Pat Skerry and Marshall's Tom Herrion, each who have sons on the autism spectrum, have started a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about this disease.
Notes about autism:
• Autism now affects 1 in 88 children.
• Autism now affects 1 in 54 boys.
• Autism prevalence figures are growing.
• Autism is the fastest growing serious developmental disability in the United States.
• Autism costs a family approximately $60,000 a year on average.
• There is no medical detection or cure.

Baylor vs. Texas, 6:30 p.m. CST, Waco, TX
Besides that school down Highway 6, I do not think there is a school Baylor fans enjoy beating more than Texas. Today, we get that chance again. Unfortunately, the last time the Longhorns came to the Ferrell Center, they beat the Men's team. Somehow I don't see the Longhorns being so lucky today. The Lady Bears have been playing very well as of late and all the signs point to yet another Big 12 win for Baylor.
Come early, fill the Ferrell, be loud, and HEX TEX!

Reports by BloodyElbow.com and UK-based tabloid newspaper The Sun surfaced last weekend indicated that UFC officials were looking to promote a main event between Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture for UFC 99 to be held in Germany on June 13.
However, during this week's edition of "MMA Live," Franklin McNeil of ESPN.com and the Newark Star-Ledger reported that bout agreements for a potential fourth fight have not been presented to either fighter. McNeil indicated that while the potential matchup has been discussed, neither Liddell or Couture are particularly interested in fighting one another again.
With the UFC looking to make a splash for its German debut, McNeil indicated that it's possible that both Couture and Liddell will be featured on the card in separate bouts.
Liddell has not fought since suffering a second round knockout loss against Rashad Evans in September at UFC 88. The defeat marked Liddell's third loss in his last four fights. There have been some rumors that his next bout could be a superfight vs. current UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva but published reports indicate that serious talks in regard to making the match have not taken place.
Couture returned to active fighting after a year and a half layoff on Nov. 15 at UFC 91. Facing former NCAA heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, Couture lost the heavyweight title following a second round TKO.
I'm actually glad to hear it, because I have no interest in watching them fight a fourth time either. 3 fights was plenty, and there are better and more relevant matchups for each fighter out there.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
We've been there Done That..It's the UFC In a desparate attempt to get a Big PPV from these aging HOF fighters, there better days are behind them…I'm bored with Liddell and Couture..
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Yeah… Neither has anything to gain. The loser is officially washed up.. and the winner has the distinction of having beaten a washed up guy.. It's close to falling into the "freakshow" category.
And it's not like the Liddell – Couture thing was not decisively decided – it was. This will only muddy up the record at best. If Couture wins… what does that prove? Then they'll have to fight again.. (!) GIve it a rest Dana.. unless you want to start a "masters" division.. you know 50 years old and up.. I'd like to see these two guys at age 80 still hobbling around trying to kick the shit out of each other in slow motion… that would sell in Japan anyhow.
These guys should be fighting top contenders.. or retire. Let's keep it real please.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Liddell should take on a mark and retire. Couture Still has 3 or 4 fights in him In my opinion.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Yeah i don't want to see that fight again. Lets see Silva vs ether of them that would be a good fight.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Chuck is not finished!!! He was winning the Rashad fight and got caught. It happens. Its just unfortunate that he "got caught" in his fight with Rampage as well. I had him winning that fight too. *sighs* He did look bad eating all of those leg kicks The Dean of Mean….
Regardless, He is still only one or two highlight reel knockouts away from another title shot. Randy v. Liddell is a HORRIBLE idea. I love both fighters and neither has anything to gain from this fight.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
You have the right to disagree goodguy. I personally would like to see Chuck vs. Wandy. I think the outcome would be very different this time. But seeing as Wandy has won all his fights since they last meet and chuck has lost all his I doubt it will happen soon.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Why would you say Wandy has won ALL his fights since they fought and Chuck lost ALL his.They have each only fought ONCE since they met last December.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0

COMANCHE COUNTY, Okla_There were over
30,000 voters in Comanche County Tuesday. For some, the voting process was a
breeze, in and out in five minutes, but most voters faced lines that snaked out
doors and around buildings. At one precinct, the average wait time was over two
hours. Many voters were asking why some polling stations were practically empty
and some were backed up for blocks.
Monica Baughman
said overall, things ran smoothly or as smoothly as they can on a day as hectic
as Election Day. She said the phone was ringing off the hook with people asking
questions, and complaining about wait times. Today, we gave her a chance to

at a polling station for about four hours, watching the line crawl, slowly but
surely, until every voter had cast their ballot. There wasn't a mad rush in the
middle of the day the problems start before the polls even open.
polling place doesn't start voting until 7, but we had people lined up at 5:30
and 6 in the morning. Some of these large precincts already had 100 to 200
people waiting in line, before it even opened to vote. Those workers at the
polling place are never going to catch up."
While we were
out we heard over and over again these questions: Why are there not more
workers? Why can't they split the line up?
We didn't have
those answers but Baughman did, and it's black and white.
precinct polling place cannot have two House lines, or two Senate lines, or two

working each precinct and I can only have one poll book at a polling place. It

"They were

Baughman will
never understand that behavior, she has something to say to those who complain:

of them for staying in there and lasting all day and putting up with the
complaints. We had new machines, and we did not have one problem with any

We're less than a month away!
On the heels of their wildly successful entry in the the mixed martial arts and video game community with UFC Undisputed 2009, THQ went back into the lab to tinker around with some of the mechanics that caused a portion of gamers to say "If only I could..." when talking about a sequel.
In fact, after selling 3.5 million copies of Undisputed since it's release in 2009, THQ has been hard at work to reward gamers with an ever more realistic and fluid experience for their 2010 entry, set to hit retail shelves on May 25.
Bigger, better, badder -- which could explain the inclusion of UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar on this year's cover. For the latest details on the gameplay improvements, game developers held a special Q&A over at the UFC Undisputed Community Forum.
A list of features and enhancements after the jump.
What's the downside of disrespecting your opponent in Career Mode?
Well, it's not a negative... it's more of a wing of consequences. We have this faction relationship – each fighter is associated with a camp. Disrespecting a fighter affects your popularity and it can affect your association with different camps. It's more of a strategy than a flat out positive and negative. We didn't want to make a system where the obvious choice was to always respect a fighter, because that would be very close ended.... So we wanted to give different motivations for respecting and disrespecting.
Will the game make you retire in career like in 2009?
It does yes, but the length of the career has been extended from 7 to 12 years.
For the voices for your CAF, how many exactly are there?
There are 5 voices.
Can certain slams and throws from body clinch be countered into submissions again? Or are the parameters of this happening less predictable or even unscripted?
No. When we went with the unified grappling system we tried to not only adopt the control scheme that the ground uses but also the general rules that govern the ground system as well... and that's just something that didn't exist on the ground (being able to reverse a transition into a submission) so we took it out of the standing clinching. So reversing a standing clinch gains you a positional advantage, but it doesn't automatically initiate a submission.
In Undisputed 2009, weak attacks -- jabs, straights, weak leg/body kicks, etc -- did NOT interrupt stronger attacks. On the contrary, a stronger attack that took a larger frame count to execute would interrupt weaker attacks. Has this system been changed in 2010?
That system still exists now. We didn't want to introduce a system where weak attacks beat strong attacks, because that would have introduced a hierarchy that we weren't interested in exploring. But weak attacks definitely have a purpose in the game. I don't want to explicitly say how I think weak attacks should be used, because I have faith that the Community will figure out the use for them. The savvier players will understand where you can integrate the weak attacks in conjunction with the sway system to maximize their benefit.
In Undisputed 2010, players can now catch their opponent's kick and decide what they want to do. If the player who caught the leg opts for a takedown, is his takedown then unstoppable?
Will leg kicks be more effective? Is there going to be very visible damage on the body of the fighters, like continuous body kicks will start to bruise the ribs and leg kicks to the thighs?
Yes. In Undisputed 2010 attacks to the head are extremely important, as is true in real life. What we've done to the body and legs is introduce a system called Critical Damage. As you incur more damage to these areas, your fighter gets penalized in performance. Once you've incurred critical damage, these penalties get very severe. So as your fighter's legs are hurt, the damage you can inflict with your own kicks are lessened, as is your movement. Also, your propensity to be taken down is increased. Eventually the damage of all of your attacks is lessened. You will see this accumulated damage show up on your fighter's body.
You guys mentioned something about a benefit for participating in online camps (aside from actually getting experience against humans), what would this benefit be?
This is going to be discussed in more detail in the future. Without going into too much detail now, we'll just say that you receive an additional value to one of the existing Career Mode elements.
How much will you be updating fighter stats/ records? For instance, Yushin okami jsut showed some wicked striking skills his last fight. will you be upgrading his striking in the game? Or will you be changing anyone as time goes by based on their recent performances in the Octagon?
We don't have a fixed schedule yet, but we plan on updating them where appropriate. I hesitate to say we'll be updating after every single fight, but when there is a strong enough case for stats to be updated, we will do it.
Who are the Octagon Girls in the game?
Arianny and Chandella.

NEW CONCORD, Ohio (AP) - A school in eastern Ohio says it will remove a painting of Jesus from a school office after the American Civil Liberties Union threatened a lawsuit.
The East Muskingum school district's board voted on Thursday to remove the painting from John Glenn High School in New Concord.
School district Superintendent Jill Johnson says the painting was donated in honor of a Latin teacher who died in front of her class in 1971 after teaching for more than 50 years.
She says the painting didn't endorse Christianity, calling it a memorial to someone who spent her life educating students.
The painting will now be donated to a church.

Roman Lyashenko-C
Has really been solid in his pro debut. Examples can be seen in his play away from the puck, his vision with the puck, and his ability to take a hit to make a play. Look for Roman to remain in Dallas the whole year, despite being 20 years old, and look for him to be no less than a third line center during his stay.
Brenden Morrow-LW
Has shown the ability to play a power game while maintaining a solid skill level. Brenden is an excellent body-checker, drives the net, and has good adeptness with the puck. Further more, he has shown a tendency to go to the backhand when passing to an open man, and he has been rather successful in doing so. Further more, Brenden has found what looks to be a permanent spot on the second line, with the result being a surprising chemistry on that line. In all, his play has pushed Jon Sim out of the picture for now, while virtually assuring himself a long- term future on the second line.
John Erskine-D
While John's skating is still rather poor, his overall skill level has improved quite a bit. As a result, even though critics abound (including myself), all must take notice of this fact. This fact presents itself in the form of increased discipline, improved puck control, and large amounts of ice time. Given these facts, one must admit that this progress does lend itself to some feelings of optimism for a future in the NHL.
