Harmony Korine's Real-Life Fight Club
Harper's Magazine, December 1999, p. 28-29.
[From an interview with filmmaker Harmony Korine, in the September 29–October 5 edition of New York Press, an alternative weekly.]
Adam Heimlich: That brings us to Fight.
Harmony Korine: I couldn't really finish it. It got to a point where I was getting really hurt and arrested and weird shit started happening. I broke my left ankle and I couldn't tap-dance. I was gonna make this tap-dance movie too, and I literally can't tap-dance anymore. It fucked the whole thing up.
Heimlich: Well, what was the idea?
Korine: With Fight I wanted to make a great comedy. I thought that was the best way to achieve it. I'd get a little drunk, but not so drunk that my motor skills weren't working. I did a few fights—one after the other. But what I didn't really think about was how short hard-core fights last. When you're fucking hitting each other in the head with bricks, it can only go two or three minutes, so out of the six or seven fights that I did, I have maybe fifteen minutes of pure, hard-core bone breaking.
Heimlich: You'd provoke people until they hit you?
Korine: I would go around with a camera crew, and the only rules were that I couldn't throw the first punch and the person I was confronting had to be bigger than me. Because that's where the humor comes in. It wouldn't be funny if I was fighting someone my size. They had to be bigger than me, and no matter how bad I was getting beat up—unless I was gonna die, that was the rule, unless I was like passed out and they were still killing me—they couldn't break it up. Because that's were the comedy comes in as well.
I'd have to say whatever it took to make someone fight me. I'd get in their face and I'd say anything, it didn't matter, to get them to throw the first punch. And then once they threw the first punch it was on. And we just went, y'know, mad. In the last fight you just see this fucking bouncer from Stringfellow's. This guy took forever. He's a big bouncer, and he's wearing a tuxedo and shit. No matter what I said the guy wouldn't do anything. Nothing I could do. Just, 'You fuckin' little shrimp—get the fuck outta here." So then some stripper, some bitch that worked there, walked out with a balloon on her wrist. And she's in high heels, y'know, "What's going on?" So I went up to her and I went like this [a feigned backhand smack], like my dad used to do to me when he'd drive. Because I never used to be comfortable as a kid. I was never comfortable as a kid. We'd drive and he'd go like that right in front of my face. He wouldn't hit me—he'd just go [demonstrates]. So I was always, like, nervous. So I did that exact same thing to her. In the video I turn around, and the camera crew is across the street, sitting on a stoop—four or five people. There's some producer with a clipboard, writing shit down, keeping track of whoever gets in the frame. And as I'm turning around you see the guy take me by the back of the head and the belt and just throw me into the middle of the street. So I jump up and I'm like, "Yeah, right on!" He comes running out, and the guy is so pissed. I took a brick—it was like a piece of broken sidewalk—and smashed him in the head when he got close. Really hard. All this blood just went kshhhhht. Then I started taunting him. So he starts running after me. We're going around this car, running in circles, and that's where the whole Buster Keaton thing comes in. It's really high comedy.
Finally he catches up to me and just goes boom. Busts me in the face. Right on the lip. I just go flying back. And this is the funniest part. This is where, really, the comedy comes in. I'm like, "Yeeesss," because I'd get off on the pain. It'd just make me like, mmmmmm. Because as a kid, growing up in Tennessee, violence was just a way of life. Everybody, no matter how big you were or anything—I'm a teeny guy, and I was even a smaller kid—but it was like no matter what, you had to fight. It was one of those things, a real redneck thing. Violence was part of life. I hated getting hit, but I never minded it so much when it was a fight. I hated getting hit by teachers or by my parents—I didn't like that. But a fight's all right, as long as you have some kind of chance. So anyway, I got back up and tried to throw this trash can. There's a trash can on the sidewalk, and I'm like, "C'mon you cocksucker!" I go to pick up this trash can and throw it at him, but the fucking thing is chained to a lamppost! And the guy just knocks me out. Literally knocked me out. I fell back on the street and hit the back of my head. So my left foot is—you can see on the video that my left foot is up on the sidewalk. And you just see the guy run up and go [mimes a two-footed stomp] and snap my fucking ankle.
Heimlich: Both feet?
Korine: Yeah, both. My ankle just goes like that [gestures as if snapping a twig]. I'm smiling in the video. You see me get up and go to hit him or whatever. I had no idea. Then the cops came. The producer is right across the street, and she tried to explain it. Y'know, "We're making a movie here." And she's like, "Can we have your signature on this release form? It's a film!" And the guy, the bouncer—it's amazing—got so sad when he found out it was all staged. He was like, "Oh my God, if I knew this, I never would have touched the guy!" And so he signed the release form.

I'm going ahead with Venetian Plaster in the living room. It's not as difficult as I was afraid it would be. I think all the experience I've had with tile adhesive, plaster and joint compound have made me learn to handle a trowel, which makes all the difference. (Not like I think I'm WonderTroweler, but the more you handle those things the less awkward they become.)
I just did one small wall last night after I got the stuff - about 40 square ft. I figured on waiting until I had natural light by which to work, but like a kid, I couldn't wait to see how it'd go & how it'd look. I got the wall prepped, put another coat of primer on, troweled my little heart out and proundly showed my work to DH. He said, "So what are you going to do with it when it dries? Sand it down and paint over it?" Yes, that's right. I'm going to spend a few hours sanding off the texture I just worked so hard to trowel in, and then I'm going to cover up those pesky tone-on-tone shadings with a coat of paint. ARRRGGGHHH! Apparently he doesn't see Venetian plaster the same way I do. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, that is a sin!! I know exactly how you would feel:-( A little to "el fresco"? He's a man..... give him the benifit of the doubt.... He just assumed that you were going to faux finnish over top of it.... which does work, as I've seen it done. Just curious, but how textured did you go? Swirls/pattern, peaks(like egg whites)or just a little texture to make the walls look older? A strong texture is going to invite dust bunnies to live on your walls! Diane |
Hi Jen, Well, I think you're right. Your husband was just a little insensitive. After going through all of that work and not asking him for any help, and having him making that insensitive comment, I don't blame you for being a little steamed. Anyway, congratulations. I applaud your efforts and your confidence that you can do the job. Have fun, Larry |
Did you show him pictures of a finished product. I loved looking thru the pictures when I googled venetian plaster. It really made me think of Venice |
Nothing like putting me in my place, huh? Yeah, he's a man-- and not one with a creative decorating streak AT ALL. It's a little discouraging...but then, at least he puts up with what I want, even if he's not quite sure about it. Most of the living room now has one coat, so I'm still experimenting. I have two coats on that first little section, with the top coat in sort of subtle arcs/half swirls. I think I'll go with that, though I might shoot for 3 coats toatal. I'm sure you're right about the dust issue! We have forced air (wood) heat, and dust is always a problem. We even get a bit of dust buildup on our smooth walls if I don't wipe or vacuum them regularly. In view of that, I'm keeping a fairly low profile on the texturing, and I'll probably apply a sealer, too. |
There's what I get when I dawdle over my post -- I miss two more entries! Larry- I really don't think he meant to be insulting; I think he really believed I was going to do something about all those surface irregularities. When it comes to decorating stuff, he's waaay inside the box. He didn't say much, but I don't think he was too crazy about the orange kitchen at first, either. I think he likes it a little better now that he has gotten some good feedback from friends. Hope so! Toots D--Showing him pictures of the finished product would be a great idea. I should've done that before I started. At least he'd know I wasn't the only one who likes the effect! |
Just wondering if your project is done and if dh has more respect for you |
Ahhh Jen! That's ok, we respect you and your work :) I made a snowman, well teeny snowfigure, sans gloves and OMG it was so painful and I spent the next 10 minutes screaming and crying inside about my hands. Anyway, point being I take a pic of it and I ge back a response about how funny it is that I made a "snow chicken." He was clearly not a chicken. And I know that was a joke! and actually it made me laugh really hard but really! respect for the art! So yeah, how did it go? |

Courtesy University of California, DavisMediterranean fruit flies are one of five tropical fruit fly species now entrenched in California, according to a recent study.At least five and as many nine invasive fruit flies now call California home, according to research published recently in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
The study by three researchers could affect how government agencies manage agricultural pests in the future, according to a news release.
"We're very confident that our results indicate that at least five and possibly several more fruit-fly species are established in California," Richard Plant, University of California, Davis, plant sciences professor emeritus and co-author, said in the release.
Plant provided mathematical modeling and statistical analysis for the study.
UC Davis entomology professor James Carey also collaborated with lead author Nikos Papadopoulos, an entomologist at the University of Thessaly, Greece.
The research results also back up contentions made by Carey for some time.
"Collectively, the data suggest that, much like other invasive species, tropical fruit flies can be present in low numbers for decades," he said in the release. "This 'lag time,' which is such a hallmark of invasion biology, explains why California can be harboring very small, established populations of these pests with only periodic captures that reveal their presence."
Carey called for government agencies to immediately assess the economic impact of having each species established in the state and how the fruit flies will affect fruit and vegetable crops.
He also suggested that government agencies increase fruit-fly monitoring, establish fruit-fly-free zones to satisfy trading partners and establish crop insurance to protect farmers against fly-related damage.
Since the first tropical fruit fly was discovered in the state in 1954, California has battled them.
So far, more than 11,300 adults and larvae representing 17 different species have been detected in nearly all regions of the state.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 I, a ruler in the church, send word to the noble sister who is of God's selection, and to her children, for whom I have true love; and not only I, but all who have knowledge of what is true; | 1 The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in the truth--and not I only, but also all who know the truth-- |
2 Because of this true knowledge which is in us, and will be with us for ever: | 2 because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever: |
3 May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love. | 3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father's Son, will be with us in truth and love. |
4 It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father. | 4 It has given me great joy to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as the Father commanded us. |
5 And now, my sister, I make a request to you, not sending you a new law, but the law which we had from the first, that we have love for one another. | 5 And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another. |
6 And love is the keeping of his laws. This is the law which was given to you from the first, so that you might keep it. | 6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. |
7 Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist. | 7 Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. |
8 Keep watch over yourselves, so that you do not make our work of no effect, but may get your full reward. | 8 Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully. |
9 Anyone who goes on and does not keep to the teaching of Christ, has not God: he who keeps to the teaching has the Father and the Son. | 9 Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. |
10 If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love: | 10 If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. |
11 For he who gives him words of love has a part in his evil works. | 11 Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work. |
12 Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full. | 12 I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete. |
13 The children of your noble sister, who is of God's selection, send you their love. | 13 The children of your chosen sister send their greetings. |

When we assign reading to students there is always a nagging suspicion that some of them will be fudging their answers when it comes to reporting what and how much they have read. They may exaggerate or out-and-out lie about the reading they have done. Typical teacher questions about verifying student reading are:
• How do we grade reading assignments?
• How do we know that students have actually read?
• How can we tell if students have understood what they have read?
• When there are so many options available (online translation programs, English versions, summaries, other students, etc.), how can students prove that they have actually read the book in the target language?
• How can students prove that they have done the work of reading on their own and that they have not just watched a movie of the book?
Here are some ideas that have worked for me:
Ramp up your Expectations Gradually: Many students are not accustomed to reading novels. Many are not expected to read in other classes or at home. Reading for pleasure may be a foreign concept to them—especially the idea of reading in another language! So go slow. Gradually but inexorably increase the amount you expect students to read throughout the school year. If you go slowly they will adjust. By the mile it's a trial; by the inch it's a cinch.
Model Reading: Read when students are reading in class. Just sit there and read. Do not give in to the temptation to grade a few papers, check your email, straighten up the classroom or even answer student questions during reading time. Show that reading is important and pleasurable by your own example. A study by reading expert […]

text: Buygore has been pushing some insane releases, is giving up tons of content for free download, and their following is skyrocketing. They're also taking care in the records they select, and though their latest from Lake Tahoe's Tincup is undeniably trap, you shouldn't box this one in. "Whisper" is absolutely destructive, features original vocals, and some completely abnormal sound design. And though most labels lazily lean on album content to prep for their releases, this single isn't even on Tincup's forthcoming Anxiety EP, which is dropping in a few weeks. It's just a free download to remind you that the six-track release is on the way, and a flex to remind you how deep their crates are. Stream or snag this one below.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ozzie!
Facts about Ozzie
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ozzie's Info...
I am up to date with shots and not good with kids.
Ozzie (formerly named Oreo) was born around 12/7/10. He is a male domestic short hair cat, white with grey & brown stripes, and cute chipmunk cheeks. He is a playful cat that was an owner surrender. He is very friendly, purrs loudly, and rarely meows. He understands commands and is litterbox trained. He is very affectionate and loves to sit on laps! Ozzie still exhibits kitten like behavior and can be a little feisty when trying to get attention. He would do best in a home without young children. In his foster environment, Ozzie has not had direct exposure to dogs or other cats so we cannot say how he'd get along with them at this stage but we think he'd do well with another young cat as a buddy. He just wants to be loved, so please adopt him today!
Other Pets at Anjellicle Cats Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ozzie, a New York American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in New York, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in New York.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New York already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New York breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New York paves the way for another one to be saved.

Causeway GAA Club History
The parish of Causeway is situated roughly 15 miles north of Tralee, 6 miles east of Ballyheigue and 6 miles west of Ballyduff. For the people of this tiny parish, the main focus of their sporting lives revolves around the game of Hurling and the following of their team in Maroon. In a football mad county like Kerry, Hurling takes precedence in North Kerry and at the centre of this is Causeway G.A.A. Club. Causeway G.A.A. Club has a proud and distinguished History, from exploits on the field, to our fine facilities and to the building up of camadarie within the club.
Early records indicate that Causeway fielded teams sporadically around the late 19th and early 20th century. Causeway first entered the County Senior Hurling championship in 1892 and were defeated by the then All-Ireland Champions, Ballyduff. Causeways first victory of note came in the 1930 North Kerry Senior Hurling League where Abbeydorney were defeated on a score of 1-02 to 0-02. This win was followed 2 years later by Causeways historic 1st Championship success. Led by the Legendary Neilus Flynn, Causeway defeated Kilflynn, Kenmare, Kilgarven and Rathmore on their way to the 1932 title.
As there was no sportsfield in Causeway until the mid-70's training and games were held at the Fair Green and Sandford lawn to the east of the Village, Diggins field in Drumnacurra, Lyons in Meenogahane and Flynns in Foxfort. Another interesting aspect is that up to the mid-30's Causeway played in Black & Amber and Blue & Gold Jerseys. The Maroon jersey arrived on the scene when Gaelinn presented the Parish with a set of jerseys as reward for the selling of tickets around the parish and at the carnivals held at the time.
While the 1932 victory should have acted as a springboard to further success the opposite was the case. From the Mid-30's to the early 60's Causeway found it difficult to field teams but this didn't stop players from the parish leaving their mark on the hurling scene. During this Period Championships were won with a St Brendans Amalgamation (1936), Ballyheigue (1946) and Ballyduff (1955).
The aforementioned Neilus Flynn had the honour of captaining 2 different teams to Championship success, Causeway in 1932 and St Brendans in 1936. He also captained a Shannon Rovers amalgamation in the 1939 County Final defeat to Crotta.
Neilus Flynn, Sonny Fitzgerald, Jack O'Connell, Tommy 'Fox' Diggin, Ml Connor and Paddy Casey were members of the 1936 St Brendans outfit while Ml John Dineen, Timmy Leahy, Gerald Lawlor and John Kearney were part of the successful 1946 Ballyheigue team. In 1955 Ballyduff won their 1st County Championship since their All-Ireland winning year of 1891 with the help of Jerry Fitzgerald, Johnny Connor, Francis Cantillon, Damian Hanrahan, John Lawlor and Harry Joe O'Connor. Harry Joe had further success with Ballyduff in '57, '59 and '60 while Neilus Carmody was also a member of the 1959 side. The 1960's saw a revival in the fortunes of Causeway Hurling. Players returned from the neighbouring clubs to throw in their lot with their home parish again and more importantly an underage structure was put in place. Even though championship success eluded the parish a vital North Kerry Junior Championship was won in 1962 which was Causeways 1st victory of any description since 1932. This together with the work of men like Andrew Diggin, Gerry Fitzgerald, Paddy Sean O'Connell and Francis Cantillon with the youth of the parish ensured Causeway would go into the future knowing they would be able to compete on their own. A Minor Co Championship Victory in 1968 was the 1st County Title since 1932 and sowed the seeds for future success.
While the 60's saw a revival, the 70's announced Causeway back with the big boys, on and off the field. A Championship defeat in the 1973 County Final to Ballyduff didn't hinder the progress of the club. Under-age success was plentiful and Causeway players were gaining valuable experience representing and winning with their county while Causeway Comprehensive was also providing an opportunity for players to test their abilities against other teams around Munster.
Another important development occurred in the Mid-70's with the acquirement of a Sportsfield. Causeway G.A.A. club entered into agreement with Causeway Comprehensive and Kerry V.E.C. and developed a field, bought from the late Bart Costello, to the south of village. Causeway G.A.A club now had a place they could call Home.
Under-age success came in a Feile (1975) U-15 Co ('76 & '77) U-16 Co ('76 & '77) and various North Kerry titles. An Intermediate Championship, senior County League and a 2nd Minor Co Championship Success in 1977 under the Captaincy of Joseph Lyons meant Causeway were really knocking at the door. Following another County Final defeat to Ballyduff in 1978 Causeway finally reached the Holy Grail in 1979. Crotta were defeated in one of the most dramatic County Finals ever with a last minute goal from Ger Clifford and Roger Hussey became the 1st Causeway man since Neilus Flynn to lift the County Championship trophy. This win was the start of the great four in row team that achieved further success in 1980, 1981 and 1982. Roy Dineen in 1980, Maurice Leahy in 1981 and Gerald O'Grady in 1982 were the men who led Causeway to victory in those years and a place in the History books. 1979 was also special in that the Minor (Gerard Diggin) and U-21 (Patrick Bunyan) county crowns were captured and an historic treble was achieved.
The club still prospered at Under-age through out the '80's with a U-12 Co ('87), 3 Feiles ('82, '88 & '89), U-14 Co ('82 & '89), U-16 Co ('82) and a minor co league in 1984. A centenary Final defeat to Ballyduff in 1984 was followed by another County Title in 1987. This was a very poignant day for the club as it was it was the first year that the new Neilus Flynn Trophy was being played for. Sadly in August of that year Neilus passed away but his memory and name will forever be associated with hurling in Kerry thanks to the magnificent trophy donated by the Flynn Families of Drumnacurra and Foxfort. The club paid him the ultimate tribute by winning the trophy in its premier year and Anthony O'Connor had the honour of hoisting it aloft. 1984 saw the commencement of work on the dressing-rooms which also led to the building of a handball alley, scoreboard and Stand. Then in June 1988 amid great Fanfare, Causeway G.A.A. club proudly opened their facilities. Over a great weekend, proceedings got under way on the Friday evening with an exhibition match between the Causeway Senior teams of 1979 and 1987. On Saturday evening an U-12 game took place between Causeway and Ballyheigue which was followed by the launch of the Official Programme. Then on the Sunday evening while Ray Houghton was putting the ball in the back of the English Net, John Dowling, then president of the G.A.A, and the Dubs were flying into Town.
On a glorious summers evening, Kerry and Dublin played out a highly competitive challenge game which was preceded by Causeway Vs Newtownshandrum senior hurlers. The Dubs had flown in specifically to Farranfore for the match while John Dowling landed by helicopter in the centre of the G.A.A. field to officially open the facilities following the blessing by Fr. John B Daly. A car was then raffled off at half-time of the senior football match. It was a wonderful occasion and the crowd of 3� / 4 thousand didn't seem bothered by what was happening in Stuttgart.
From having no field pre mid-70's Causeway now had one of the top facilities in the county and this was reflected in the number of Inter-county and County Championships games held. Another proud moment for the club was the hosting of the 1990 County Final between Ballyduff and St Brendans. One of the main reasons for the fine standard of pitch and good upkeep of the premises was the endless hours put in by the late Johnny O'Connor. It was like his second home and never was a stone left unturned in his preparation and maintenance of the facilities. Following his retirement, Andrew Diggin and more recently John Sheehan have carried on this unselfish work.
Early success in the 90's in U-16 Co ('90), Junior Co ('92) and Senior Co League ('92) was offset by the lack of senior success and most disappointing of all, 3 Minor Co Finals were lost in a row, ('90, '91 & '92). In the Mid-nineties a strong emphasis was placed on the youth of the parish and today Causeway has one of the Strongest Under-age set-ups in the county. The decade finished on a high for the club with a Co Final appearance in 1997 followed by victory in the '98 decider. After a gap of 11 years a Maurice O'Carroll led Causeway defeated Crotta in a repeat of the '79 final. In 1999 Causeway U-16's won the Club All-Ireland Shield held in Carlow.
The new millennium has seen Causeway battle strongly at under age with Victories at U-12 Co ('03 & '06) U-13 Co ('06) U-14 Co ('05) & U-15 ('06). The Introduction of new competitions at U-10 & U-11 level has seen Causeway figure strongly with, in 2006 the U-10's winning 2 of the 4 competitions and defeated in a 3rd Final while the U-11's completely dominated their age group. Defeat in the Feile Final of 2005 was a disappointment but this team then captured the County U-14 and North Kerry Championships Their performances in the All-Irelands Feile Finals in Cork were a joy to behold and they were unlucky to taste defeat in the All-Ireland Final against Fermoy.
In 2004 Causeway G.A.A. celebrated 25 years since the beginning of the great 4 in a row team. A banquet was held in their honour in the Listowel Arms where each playing, managerial and committee member were presented with a specially engraved plaque marking their achievements.
While Causeway players have figured prominently with successful school & county teams other notable achievements which the club are proud of include Pat Moriarty, D.J. Leahy and Ml Burke representing Munster with D.J. winning a Railway Cup medal in 1985. Pat Moriaty is the sole Kerry hurler to ever be nominated for an All-Star and that honour was bestowed on him in 1977. Tadgh Flynn was selected on the Fitzgibbon Team of the year in 2005. John Mike Dooley has represented Ireland twice in the Shinty series in 2004 & 2005. He has also won the GPA player of the month for Feb '05 and he became the 1st Kerry Hurler to receive a Christy Ring All-Star in 2005.
Causeway G.A.A. also enters Scor competitions and in 1992 the Novelty Act under the guidance of Pat Joe O'Connor won The All-Ireland having reached the decider the year before as well. Camoige is another area that was strong in the parish. In the Early '70's under the tutelage of Ms. Mai O'Connell Causeway had a very strong camogie team and were County Champions on 3 occasions ('71, '73 & '77). Following it disbandment in the '80's, a new camogie club has started up in 2006 with great success to cater for the young female Hurlers of our parish. Weekly training sessions and competitive blitz are held and there is great interest being shown.
While there was Senior Co Final defeats in '04 & '06 there is still great optimism and spirit about the club. The Lotto is our main source of Income while occasionally a fund raiser like a Dog night or Golf Classic might take place and these add to the spirit of the club. On any summers evening from the Month of May till September Causeway Sportsfield is a buzz of activity. Juveniles ageing from 6 to 16, boys and girls, cover the field from 5 o'clock until 7.30 where the Seniors, Minors & Intermediates then take centre stage. On any given evening Causeway sportsfield could be used by up to 120 people. Spectators arrive to pass away the evening by watching proceedings or chatting away. There is no shortage of mentors for the under-age and support at all matches is fantastic. All to see the young heroes of today become the senior heroes of tomorrow, for the love of the game and to try and bring Neilus Home.

Occupy Oakland was 2 weeks old when the Oakland police decided to clear the encampments at Frank Ogawa Plaza and Snow Park in Oakland, CA. During the evening's peaceful demonstrations, police clashed with demonstrators--some of whom threw paint and rocks--with such force that the first person accounts and photos made their way around the world and were a trending topic on Twitter (#Oakland PD). In the aftermath of the violence, the city learned that the police action plan had been crafted by the new city administrator, that the mayor was out of town, and the same police chief who told a press conference at 9:15 PM that the department was committed to a peaceful demonstration had officers pelting people with tear gas, bean bags and rubber bullets.
On Weds, October 26, demonstrations continued and as the Occupy General Assembly met in conference at 7PM, the Occupy Wall Street movement announced they were donating $20K to support the movement in Oakland. Reports tell us that a General Strike is being planned in the city for Wednesday, November 2nd. Meanwhile, it's hard not to wonder how the Mayor will resolve the anger and fury many residents are directing at her.
Will Acting Police Chief Howard Jordan be the sacrificIal lamb? Will Deanna Santana get the blame? Or will Quan just plow ahead without a look back at last night's melee?
In the past two weeks, Oakland Local has published multiple reports, first person stories, videos and photos of a local Oakland movement that the world is watching (see oaklandlocal.com/tags/occupy-oakland). We need support to continue to cover and do original independent reporting on this important story.
Our team of Eric Arnold, Susan Mernit and Kwan Booth will write, edit, curate and report on the #OccupyOakland movement; we'll be sharing and distributing our stories via The SFPublic Press, Yahoo! News, Google News, SF Gate, The Media Consortium and other outlets.
PLEASE donate to support our writers, photogs and editors.

Excellent article Peter . The dilema facing our neighbours to the south , is a portend of what is in store for this country . The American experiment with neo classical economic theory and practices as advocated by the Chicago School of economics may well have led them down a dangerous road and to their undoing . What is so distressing is that as a country, Canada has yet to take that step , but , the pressure is mounting . The Canadian people are being asked to support an unspoken mandate that will clearly launch this country down this path .

Christopher Fowler interview – The Soho of gays gone by
Gay author and screenwriter Christopher Fowler has some claim to the title Mr Soho
After 40 years of pushing projects, pitching scripts and having a wild time along the way, he knows London's very unsquare mile like no other. His new memoir 'Film Freak' recalls Soho in the late '70s in particular, when a Wardour Street producer who promised to shoot Fowler's film was actually more interested in 'walking his nicotine-stained fingers up my inside leg under the table in The Ship,' Fowler remembers ruefully. 'I was young, hungry and suddenly less ugly than I had been as a child. But if I was going to sleep with anyone in the film industry, he had to be under 50 and not look like an ashtray in a jumper.'
The book is full of similarly revealing vignettes, recalling a Soho that was, Fowler says, 'far queenier then than it is now. One screening room was presided over by a lovely man called Brian who was nicknamed Beryl, because he was famous for his performances as a pantomime dame.' But there was much about the scene then that we would recognise now. 'Superclubs had just arrived,' Fowler points out. 'And it was considered a novelty to be stuck on Tottenham Court Road at 2am dressed only in Speedos, body glitter and workboots.' Well, we've all been there. Haven't we?
'Film Freak' is published by Doubleday at £16.99.

I only lurk here to see your wonderful creative work but am semi-active on the Florida garden page. I asked there but had little response so I am turning to you, the fix it experts. What type of paint do you use on you old cement pieces? I am looking for something that will not harm the birds and will not peal off. My pieces are all old rescued cement pieces previously painted and in despirate need of repair. Thank you in advance for any assistance! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Painting concrete is what causes the damage in the first place. You can use a concrete sealer if you feel you must seal the surface but concrete is best left unsealed so it can "breathe". What sort of damage are you dealing with? Sometimes you can patch it with mortar mix. |

I have used rustoleum spray paints with clear coats on top to paint cement statuary. I don't know how you can guarantee that it will not peal because concrete is porous and absorbs water. The ones I have done I brought in in the winter. You can see some pictures on the following site in Garden Junk. Verdigris metal and cement |
Thank you both for taking the time to resond! To clarify what I meant by repair is the pieces were all previously painted many times with multiple coats of paint. Some pieces show some paint peeling, some show multiple layers of paint (not peelng just layers gone), and some pieces are bare cement on one peice but the corresponding piece is painted. Thank you for sharing your pictures I would love to see them but am not sure where to look. LOL sorry |

The Gender Gap: 6 Gratuitous Instances of Full Frontal Male Nudity in Film
Cinematic Listology By Ashe Cantrell on August 4, 2011 | Comments (2)While nudity is generally regarded as an awesome thing, the fact of the matter is that it's just not necessary for a lot of movies. Enter the gratuitous nude scene, where an actress strips down to her birthday suit for reasons completely unrelated to the plot. Frequently, these roles are covered by B- and C-list stars who like to add an extra zero to their check in exchange for giving the movie-going audience a thrill. While many big name actresses refuse to do nudity — a totally respectable choice, don't get me wrong — some change their minds when there's a chance their career can benefit from it. When those women go for a gratuitous nude scene, it usually takes one of four forms:

I guess it took a race report to get me out of my blog drought. Just been busy and I guess a bit un-inpsired blog-wise, but hopefully I can start getting back to more regular updates.
This was the second year that I have run Shamrock'n. It is a really well organized race and a good start/end venue. Again, Brooks and Fleet Feet had a "VIP" area, which was great once I figured out where it was. Coming into this race, my goal was to run 1:58 like I did last year. I would have loved to beat that time, but given the circumstances (more on that in a second), I knew 1:58 was going to be a good goal to shoot for.
Yesterday, I spend the afternoon at a bachelorette party for a friend I haven't seen in quite some time. Although I had this race planned way before the bachelorette party came up, I didn't want to skip the bachelorette party. We rented a limo and headed to Sonoma wine country. My original plan was to not partake at all the wineries, but I was having fun and it was great to have some "girl time". I drank lots of water, but I since I don't drink much or often my body was probably a bit confused. It wasn't a late night - most wineries close by 5 and we had to drive back to the city and then I had to drive back from there. I was home by 8, but still made the mistake of staying up later than I should have, not including the hour lost to daylight savings.
I woke early and had to drag myself out of bed. I had everything prepared, so I just had to get dressed and eat. I was out of the house by 6. Like last year, they race organizers suggested carpooling due to congestion, but again, I arrived and it was not bad at all. I was concerned that packet pick up on race day would be mobbed, so a friend had picked mine up on Saturday and was going to meet me with it. Problem was, I got there before she did. I should have just done race day pick up. Next time I will know.
I was starting in the first wave which went off at 7:45. Even though I had gone to the bathroom already, I waited in line for the portapotty before the start - but with less than 10 minutes before the gun, I knew I wouldn't make it through the line, so I just headed the start anyway. I didn't really have to go, so I hoped that I would be OK or at least make it to the first set of porta-pots on the course. I also realized as I lined up in the coral that I forgot to put my 3rd gel in my pocket before the race. Damn, I only had 2 gels and figured that would not be enough for the length of the race. I was hoping to get one on the course if needed.
I started out at a good pace, not too fast - which is usually what happens to me. After the usual start/stop to cross the chip timers at the start line, the crowd thinned reasonably well and there was no real jockeying around other runners. I had my garmin, but also have been using the runkeeper app on my phone and using my phone to also play music. Runkeeper gives me the distance covered and average pace every 5 minutes, so I could keep an eye on my average pace. I realized after a few miles that Runkeeper is not as accurate as the garmin and was registering more distance meaning the pace it was giving me was faster than my actual pace. I figured it would at least give me a relative idea if my pace was staying the same, faster or slower. For some reason it never occurred to me to hit the lap timer on the garmin to get mile splits.
I was trying to not make the "mistakes" that I normally make - going out too fast then letting the wheels fall off at mile 10 or 11. I managed to keep the pace pretty steady more or less. According to runkeeper mile 4 was my fastest. My pace crept up a little from mile 4 until 9 when I started to focus on bringing it back down. Since I only had 2 gels, I planed to take one at 40 minutes, one at 1:20. When I hit 40 minutes I was about to hit a downhill, so I waited until I took advantage of the downslope before walking briefly to have my gel. I took the 2nd gel a little earlier than planned at about 1:15 - I was feeling that I needed some energy. I was still holding out hope for a gel on the course to get me through the end of the race. I know that those last few miles are the hardest ones for me to keep the pace up and the extra energy of the gel, I hoped, would get me through.
The course overall is pretty flat and while not a bad course it is kind of plain. around mile 9 you pass through Old Sacramento then head south (at least I think it is south) of the stadium but on the opposite side of the river. I hate this part because it is like you see that you are almost back to the finish, but before that you need to do this loop across the river. This was the part where I had to try and focus on keeping the pace up. I always play mind games with myself figuring out "if I do 10 minute miles from here I would finish at ____" I know that I can do a 10 minute mile, so this makes me feel like I can do it.
Mile 11 was the test - I wanted to keep my pace up through mile 11. Once you hit 12 it is like you are almost there, so 11 was the key to getting under 2 hours. I was also a little worried because I never did get another gel on the course. I just knew I had to push those last miles regardless. I was successful in keeping pace for mile 11, and then mile 12 was my 2nd fastest of the race. It was hard, but I kept pushing myself for those last 3 miles. If I had let myself slip, I would for sure not have finished under 2 hours. Seeing my race report from last year reminds me that it is the last 5k of the half that is where I need to keep mentally in the race and push myself. Actually come to think of it, today I had very few negative thoughts - I tend to start getting down on myself thinking maybe I can't get my goal and start to talk myself into a secondary goal "well, I won't make sub 2, but a 2:03 would be OK...." I never had those thoughts today. Today I kept my mind on the sub 2 goal.

Post race I headed back to the Brooks VIP area and enjoyed a little food and a very nice post race massage. Only 1 other time have I gotten a post race massage as usually they are super crowded and I don't want to wait. But since this was just for the VIP area, it went quickly. I caught up with the others who had run. Everyone had a pretty good race. The weather was actually perfect for running - 50's and overcast. Unfortunately it was not so perfect for hanging out, so I headed home. After a stop at Starbucks, a hot shower and a nap I felt much better. Although my legs are sore and I can definitely feel it going up and down the stairs.
I have been looking at my training from last year compared to this year and generally my speedwork has been the same or even slightly faster, so I knew that in general, I was ready for a sub 2 hour half. Given the day in Sonoma on Saturday and a slight sore throat I have been struggling with, I am pleased with how I did. The fact that I kept the negative thoughts at bay was also a good thing for me. Only 1 minute slower than last year. I am planning on another half in May. I will need to think about my training plan and what I can do. I would love to get a PR or near my PR (1:53) but cutting 6 minutes off my time seems to be a lofty goal, but we will just have to see.....

The Top 5 Reggie Lewis Moments On the 20th Anniversary of His Death
Today is a moment for somber reflection about a man that graced a basketball court for too short a time. Twenty years ago today, Reggie Lewis died of cardiac arrest during an off-season practice at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. He was 27-years-old, and had just completed his sixth season with the Boston Celtics while averaging 20.8 points a game for the second consecutive year. Rather than dwell on his untimely death, here are five of his greatest moments during a career cut short just as he was transitioning into a star. Read More »

Hi, I haven't been on gentoo in a while, but I remember this on my last try. From what I remember, speakup's modules aren't installed properly. Kinda makes me mad, I've wanted to use gentoo for a long time (portage ftw!) but I don't have another machine to do an ssh install from, and I wouldn't need that if the speech would work... I'll have to play with the latest livecd though and see if I can get it to do something, but that's what I remember from my last try with it (early this year I think).

How to Make PPC More Effective, Convert to More Sales
Did you know that billions of searches go through Google every week? If you have a website, you want to direct more of the people searching for products and services to your own offerings. There are several methods for doing this, and one of them is PPC, or Pay per click internet marketing.
In this marketing model, businesses only need to pay for the clicks they receive, rather than for simply exposure. This makes PPC translate fairly reliably into sales. If you are planning on using PPC services for your website, then here are three things you should know.
1. How Can You Make PPC More Effective?
With PPC, you want to make every click count. A click is not a guarantee of sale, so you need to do everything you can to make sure that the people who view your site are making purchases. One easy way to make PPC effective is to target your key audience. Use specific key words. If someone is looking for "dark wash jeans," they are more likely to click on that than simply "jeans." If someone is only willing to pay $30 on jeans and yours are at least $50, include that. Advertising your minimum price might seem counterintuitive, but in reality it will eliminate receiving clicks that will almost never convert to revenue.
2. Is SEO Better than PPC?
Many people are familiar with SEO, which are techniques used to raise organic rankings for websites. Neither way of advertising is better than the other. Rather, they should be used in tandem. When used together, conversions rates are 45% higher. You might often hear the term PPC cannibalism, where you eat the traffic you would otherwise receive in free searches. Studies show, however, that most websites receive more traffic using both than just using one or the other. To avoid cannibalism, try differentiating your keywords in order to cast a wider net.
3. PPC Management Software
Ppc campaign management software is going to be a useful tool in your arsenal if you plan to really invest in PPC. What will software do for you? It can offer feedback on which ads are most effective and why, as well as other keywords you should consider targeting. Basically, it will help you optimize your PPC in order to bring in the most sales. PPC management software can either be downloaded on its own, or provided by an internet marketing agency.
What are your thoughts on PPC? See this link for more.

Home > National Historic Sites > Halifax Citadel National Historic Site > What's New > Commemorating the War of 1812
When war was declared on June 18, 1812, Halifax was key to the defence of British North America. As the primary base for the Royal Navy's North Atlantic squadron, the port was well protected by several fortifications, including the Halifax Citadel, Fort Charlotte on Georges Island, York Redoubt, and the Prince of Wales Tower. Although these defences were never tested in combat, the war demonstrated their importance, and in the years following 1814, many improvements were made, including the complete re-construction of the Halifax Citadel as a masonry work, becoming one of the most powerful forts in North America.

The Halifax Citadel National Historic Site is a living legacy of a pivotal time in Canadian and American history. Parks Canada presents a special exhibit on the War of 1812, and re-enactments of army and navy life at a busy military station, a time when troops manned the defences or prepared to ship out for far off battlefields.

You would think having 10+ years of parenting experience under my belt I would know better than to say stuff I don't want repeated at inappropriate times. Or that having said amount of years experience, that it would lead me to at least lessen the ways for my children to embarrass me in public. Not so.
Here are some examples:
After hearing me tell Phil that the chick who smashed my car and did a runner was giving me death stares and was a "loop", Sam asked her the next day on the way into school: "Are you out of the lunatic asylum?"
Today, I purchased a pack of 4 tennis balls for Jack. "I can't wait to show Sam my big balls" Jack bellowed in the Reject shops corridor.
Sam, after hearing his father had a vasectomy, walked up to him mid-conversation at a BBQ about a week later, in front of our friends, and said "So, Dad, how are your nuts?"
In the ABC shop today, Jack started saying, "Ow, Ow". I asked him what was wrong (sitting in his stroller). Jack: "My doodle is just too big mummy". You need to understand, none of this is whispered.
My daughter apparently told her teacher, when questioned, that her parents wouldn't be attending the religious assemblies because they aren't "Jeezos". Shit.
What about the time Maddie decided to tell her facebook community that she was Booooorrrreedd and her mother couldn't take her to Zumba because she had "had too much alcohol last night".
What about when Jack used to substitute the Tr in Truck with a F? When he would crack it in Kmart and yell "But I want a big fuck mummy!" Run Bern, don't walk, Run.
Or Sam, telling off the orthopaedic doctors when checking his brothers broken arms "Geez Doc, don't give him a Chinese Burn, he's already got broken arms".
Today I took a trip to Pacific Fair with Jack the 3yo demon. He was actually fairly contained, quite good. Oh except for when he "accidently" dropped his iced chocolate and it exploded like an A-bomb inside the coffee shop. His immediate declaration of "Awww bloody hell, Stupid aciddent".
The thing is, sometimes, we just forget that they are the absorbent sponges they are.
Today Sam, who is nearly 8, asked me what I would do if he couldn't remember his reading words tonight for homework. I said, "Um, well, nothing; we'll just keep reading them, til you get them". He visibly wiped his brow. I looked at him in the rear view mirror and asked "Why do you ask mate?" Sam replied
"Oh, it's just that Dad said he'd use the phonebook if I didn't concentrate tonight". What? Is my husband's last name Soprano all of a sudden? I rang my husband in somewhat of a pissed off state.
"Did you tell Sam he would be whacked with a telephone book because he was having trouble reading?"
Phil: "What? No, no, we were playing last night before bed, Mafioso. It was his game!!!! And I said I would arrest him and he would be meeting my friend the telephone book, if he didn't co-operate". Right.
Imagine if he of gone to school and told his teacher his dad was going to "telephone book" him. Hello DOCS.
What about the time my 7yo daughter (at the time) was telling her teacher she stayed with her dad each weekend and her mother during the week and even wrote her school journal accordingly? All of this, even though we've never even been out of the same house for one night, let alone separated? Where in the fuck did that come from?
So what have we learned?
I've learned if we want to whinge, bitch, scratch nuts, say the word fuck, threaten anyone mafia style or speak about delicate genital operations, we do it out of earshot of the little people. Or gag em.

Too funny as usual Bern! Your Jack sounds like a total ratbag.
My now 6 year old announced at swimming a couple of years ago, in front of a whole bunch of people I had never seen before, that "Dad has a furry doodle!!"
His toilet training little sister had just been outside and peed on the grass, standing up like a boy (he was doing one right beside her).
I was whispering in her ear that she can't go outside and wee standing up like a boy because she doesn't have a doodle. Brendan hears this and feels the need to loudly describe his dad's furry one! - April 14, 2010 at 10:13 PM
Too funny! I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one that cops this stuff.
My Master 5 recently proclaimed "Mummy is really good in the bedroom, but not in the kitchen!"
... he was referring to his Army Men game on the wii that I had breezed through the bedroom levels, but was stuck on one of the kitchen levels. BUT try telling people that!! - April 14, 2010 at 10:26 PM

These are hilarious....

This post was so funny!!!
Remember that ad where the mother is in the car and is annoyed about someone pulling out in front of her or something, and then she says, "bloody", and later at dinner when her son is asked if he likes his food he replies, "Bloody oath"?
Obviously, my 8yo son saw that ad, because we were on an airplane to Melbourne once, and when I turned on the overhead light, he looked up at it and said, "Bloody oath that's bright!" He was 4 at the time.
Sigh. - April 15, 2010 at 10:05 AM

boys love talking about nuts and balls don't they. - April 15, 2010 at 10:35 AM
My most embarrassing moment with my daughter was when I had a parent teacher meeting when she was in Year 3. The teacher had my daughter's diary opened to the page where she had written about me winning lots of money on a horse on the Melbourne Cup horse race then being brought home by a friend with McDonalds for the kids and me falling out of the car then vomiting! Needless to say the teacher had a little glint in her eye that day.
It would be great to hear from any teachers out there and some of the funny stories they must have heard over the years. - April 15, 2010 at 10:37 AM

Mine haven't come out with anything like that...yet...and one doesn't talk yet!
But yes, as a teacher I heard some really good ones!! I also learned very quickly not to believe everything kids say!!
Kids are too funny, and so are you! x - April 15, 2010 at 12:59 PM
Here's a good one:
a friend of mine enjoys the odd drink after a hard day in the office but is far from alcoholic status.
She had to take miss 4 to the doctor for a check up. Doctor asks innocently if mum and miss 4 would like a drink of water? Mum said yes please; miss 4 said very seriously: "no thanks, I'll have a scotch on the rocks..."
Needless to say there was an awkward "we don't offer her scotch at home" type of conversation after that! - April 15, 2010 at 2:28 PM

Great post Bern! I love this.
At the risk of sharing too much information, I am going to give you an example of my 5 year old daughter's (Mia) work, she gives Sam a run for her money I reckon...
This conversation went down while I was 8 months pregnant at the end of last year and Mia and I were having a shower together. A Pro Cyclist who was being billeted with us at the time was in ear shot of this conversation as he was surfing the net on our back deck (nex to the bathroom)
MIa: "Ohhh mum look at your bum! it's soooo big!" *whack whack as she slaps it.
Me: "Oh come on Mia, it's not THAT big"
Mia: "Oh yes it is mum, it's GIANOOOORMMOUS!"
moving on.... 2 mins later...
Mia: "Hey mum LOOK! the water runs off your belly, down your GINA and looks like you're doing a wee!" *excited squeal
Me: *ignore comment and use magic distraction parenting skills, which do not work and Mia REPEATS comment but even louder this time.
Me: *in a cranky tone "Shhh Mia, don't say that."
Mia: *in a sympathetic ton "It's ok mum. I know its not REALLY doing a wee, it just LOOKS like you're doing a wee coz the water is coming out of your GINA!"
Me:"Ok, it's time to get out."
This is one of MANY examples of her work, there are too many examples of he brillance to mention. She is particularly skiled in embarassing me in public toilets, but I will leave those to your imagination. - April 15, 2010 at 2:31 PM

You are freaking hilarious and I will say that our houses are EXACTLY the same by the sounds of some of these comments! Gotta love the kids. Say it like it is!

P.S we have been using the term "Jeezbos" in our house but will use your example to try and curb our naughty habit ;)

ROFL. You guys don't need a TV, seriously, you have a whole team of comedians right there. When Alex was about 2-3 and he used to crack it in the shops, and I would try to pick him up of the ground, he would scream, "HELP! HELP!" at the top of his lungs. People stared but no one ever tried to prevent the abduction that was clearly taking place.
Other gems include, apropos of nothing in the supermarket, "Mum, why don't you have a willy? Did it fall off?" and (with a straight face to a supermarket lady when asked how he was) "I'm not good. Dad punched me in the face three times today." Seriously, WTF? The problem with this is, the more you try to brush it off or deny it, the guilter you seem!
When I was a nanny when I was 19, I was out with my 3yrold charge and a shop assistant made some mention of my son. I corrected her that I was just looking after him, and he looked up at me all forlorn and said, "Mummy, can I have a drink please?" - April 15, 2010 at 7:52 PM

Do you realise that it's all deliberate and they spend hours trying to find ways to humiliate you in public? Looks like your kids have a true talent for this. Cracked me up.

Absolutely classic! My oldest is 3yo now and we're just learning the boys of the "inappropriate parroting" phase. Ah, the joys, the embarrassment and the giggles it brings!
