One Good Thing from Zimmerman Case
Is we aren't going to be hearing about Paula Deen anymore. I hope.
This post was edited by jannie on Tue, Jul 16, 13 at 8:15
Before the media explosion, I didn't even know who the heck she was. I travel in a whole different circle when it comes to foods, preferring to eat organically and healthy.
Though, once court depositions were brought to light, containing charges of racist and sexist behaviors against her employees, allegedly committed by the brother and allowed to occur by Ms. Deen, herself... it became more apparent who she was, and why I'd never heard of her...
I wouldn't be able to stomach such language and behavior in the workplace, and I'd not sit idly by, either, while my fellow workers were treated in such a manner.
From the last news report I read, her little kingdom is on clearance... but if that's the way she runs a business and allows her executives to behave toward other employees, I say good riddance.
Personally, I don't understand why racism still exists. But it's very apparent that it does still exist... and what's more, it would appear that media and those who control it want racism to be a matter of contention, a diversion within our society.
Very true, Pidge... and it also illustrates how we let the media guide us...
Where has real journalism gone? How is it that society is more attracted to the Paula Deens and Honey Boo Boos than to the real issues that matter... like our environment, energy, runaway government spending, war we don't need to fight, etc?
I wouldn't watch a reality show on Deen if you paid me... and the same goes for Honey Boo Boo.
And once Zimmerman has been "talked" beyond the point where everything has been said soooo many times in soooo many ways, what's left? Is Anderson Cooper going to be making documentaries on any of the civil suits that may ensue? Is our "again gone" poster who showed up to call us names and to tell us of his internet investigator's degree working on an angle thus far overlooked?
The Paula Deens and Honey Boo Boos of the TV reality world all end up in the dust bin of TV history despite the seemingly insatiable appetite for discussing "them" and how wonderful it is we're not like "them". For all the protesting - never heard of; couldn't care less; have read enough to discuss though... I guess we shouldn't worry that cable TV doesn't have a big docket to capture our feigned disinterest and attention.
The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy that didn't need to happen. That's my main takeaway. But I couldn't watch the continuous coverage and wasn't on the jury - got most information, good, bad, or indifferent from HT - so my own freely admitted depth on this is somewhere in the shallow end.
"The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy that didn't need to happen."
While I didn't get my information from HT on this, neither did I sit glued to any television news or trial happenings, preferring to gather the facts from a variety of sources so as to draw an informed conclusion from what was presented.
I dislike the media's tact of using the dirtiest, bloodiest, or the oddest laundry to attract an audience... playing to the public's thirst for this type of thing...
I don't care for reality shows based upon things I either have no interest in, or do nothing but make others look foolish.
There are a lot of much more interesting things to watch, if watching tv is something one wants to do. I'd rather learn about nature, or our environment, or history... or watch a good fictional movie... if I watch anything.
And once Zimmerman has been "talked" beyond the point where everything has been said soooo many times in soooo many ways, what's left?
It is fine that you personally find the case boring. However, you cannot minimize the importance of this case which is and will remain consequential beyond the immediate parties and their families for a long time to come. The case involves gun rights and profiling, not only by Zimmerman but by his attorneys at trial. The manner in which the case was tried by OMeara and West was disgusting and in Don West's case, despicable. They threw down the race card and appealed to the worst instincts of a Southern jury with the snide cross examination of Trayvon's female friend and the pictures of Trayvon Martin suggesting that he was a black thug, capable of garnering enough hate to want to kill George Zimmerman.
The verdict was an injustice served up by a Southern jury against a 17 year old black teen who was gunned down in cold blood by a hyped up, overzealous creep. That is the azzhole that ended up getting away with it by simply fabricating an absurd and unbelievable self defense.
What the heck does a "Southern" jury have to do with anything? The Civil War ended well over 100 yrs ago. There are far more black people living in the south than in the north. There are far more black mayors, police chiefs, councilpersons in the south than in the north. You sound like what you always accuse others of being.
Good news for all those Honey Boo Boo fans! Your can now watch and smell the show!

Thank you for conceding that my interest in the Zimmerman case is fine with you. However, validation I don't need or seek. I don't minimize Trayvon's senseless loss of life and the ramifications it'll have down the line. I simply could not/would not devote my time to "all Zimmerman all the time".
Consequently, I participated very little to the threads on this topic. That's only fair since I see no point in weighing in just to weigh in - and that's true for any topic where I'm not up to some speed.
Wasn't referring to you, Jodi - but to heri this date at 12:13. A few posters got in between.
And yes, we can all freely give our opinions, even me. I'm not oblivious to the social and economic conditions that "force" people into criminal activities, but I find it hard to think it's okay just because many of these miscreants are merely on the low end of the chain. My feelings would be so much more warm and fuzzy if some of the local drug money - the cut that these people do actually get - went to support (educate, clothe, feed) the children and families they purport to love.

You want to engage in a broader discussion of race and falsely accuse me of reverse racism. I am not going there.
Stick with the topic and don't make it personal.
As far as the Southern jury, yes, I do believe that racial attitudes in the South generally differ from those in the North. The Civil War ended but attitudes about race did not end there.
In this case it was Zimmerman's attorneys who tried to make Trayvon's female friend look like she was an alien being in order to discredit. They put up the picture of Trayvon with the gold grille insert in his teeth to portray a racial stereotype in their final argument. They threw down the race card in front of a Southern jury and that tactic was not challenged by the Prosecutors.
You're right about that mrsK. Never have watched Duck Dynasty either. I have no idea what it's about, but at the gym beside the CNN monitor is the set with network carrying this show. Never flipped over, just saw a bunch of gross looking bearded men with guns. The five minutes watching the Boo BOO clan last year(and now with smell-a -vision ..yuck) is about all I can ever take of southern culture.
Unless you're part of the upper tier, I don't think there's that much money to be made in the drug trade... it's a matter of constantly putting more money in to get more product so you can make a profit... all while staying one step ahead of the law. I imagine that's no easy feat.
What I'd like to see is the legalization of drugs... which would change the landscape of our law enforcement, prison and justice systems. People will use drugs whether they're legal or not... why not take the violence out of the equation?
Legalizing marijuana is something I don't have any issues with - that alone would clear up the court systems and free up a lot of jail space. Legalizing the hard drugs - meth, heroin, I'm not so sure. No one wants to envision meth labs in every neighborhood. Nor am I sure on the already legal, but barely, synthetics which have a large user base here. Big business for our head shop as well as for the emergency rooms.
But legalizing or decriminalizing things (marijuana notwithstanding) simply because people are determined to do them anyway doesn't seem to be the best solution. People do a lot of things.
"Is that quote about 50 years old?"
These young men would now be about the same age as I'm guessing Heri is right now. Those "old white men" we're always hearing about around here.
What is it with those white pointy hats?
Where are they now? They all move South, you figure? Winters in Chicago can be pretty harsh.
Sure Hay, it is those damned inner City blacks living in poverty that just don't like whites moving into their fine neighborhoods and taking all the primo jobs there. And God forbid that preference is given for admissions into a law school when there have been almost no minority graduates and an almost solid white judiciary sentencing an overwhelming percentage of black men to prison.
(my example just generally recalling that Supreme Court case on quotas in admission policy at the Mich Law School from about 10 years ago)
Where are they now. They are in the Republican party here in Illinois. As far as your images of white people being racist from 50 years ago, I am not sure what your point is. If you are stating that racism exists all over the country and has for decades, I agree, and in fact, I can cite some KKK rallies that took place in Chicago back then. The thing is that racial animus still is for the most part, Southern cooking (sorry Paula and Bubba).
The Civil War did end over 100 years ago as you said. That is why we now call the stubborn adherents known as the "Neo-Confederates." Then of course we have the Rebel flag waving NASCAR fans, the rednecks, teabaggers, Rand Paul t shirt wearers, and of course those enthusiastic Palin supporters. Lets just call all of them "Right Wing Republicans."
National maps of the last several Presidential election results demonstrate that there isn't a whole lot difference between where they were back in the Confederacy's glory days.

Watching both sides of this discussion on various sites, has broken another little part of me. How many decades before all are viewed as human beings first.
Zimmerman's attorneys who tried to make Trayvon's female friend look like she was an alien being in order to discredit. They put up the picture of Trayvon with the gold grille insert in his teeth to portray a racial stereotype in their final argument.
The various 'ideas' of what this young man was and looked like keeps popping up. Though I don't judge books by their covers, I admit the talk did up my curiosity. That itself is sad, but it happens. When I ran across a link to a photo of his dead body where it lay after being shot, I did click the link. Seems in bad taste, yet surprisingly, to me, it does tell more than words have so far.
To me, it really shows what a child he still was, and so clean and neat. NOT what so many are trying to portray. Looks like any young man this age, going about a regular evening. So here's the link, for any of you that are interested.
DO NOT click link without hearing my warning...
this is a dead body.

Putting your degree to good use heri. (The one from the Jesse/Al school of . . .well, you know)
I didn't find self defense unbelievable.
I have lived in a lot of different states and I am here to tell you racism is everywhere-the worst race riots in America were those in Boston-but I am not implying by that, that the people of Boston are any more racist than anyone else though. Race is more in your face all the time in the South and the South certainly earned that position since you cant get around the fighting a war to keep a big part of the population enslaved. I think the Southern bigot thing is like this OP-it distracts people from looking at their own issues as in we will probably have an end to the Paula Deen 24/7 cycle in favor of the Zimmerman case cycle until the next breathless reporting 24/7 of what ever it is our media takes up as the cause celeb. The pity is we never seem to learn a thing. Can we at least learn that when boys get shot by wannabe cops on the way home from the store we should be getting rid of SYG laws?
I was glancing at an article about finding the body of a potential witness against the mobster, Bulger, in Boston, a northern city. A man named Rakes, a potential witness against Bulger, was found dead yesterday.
A little trivia emeged: That's Rakes' brother, the one with the flag, using the American flag to attack the Black man who just happened to come along at the wrong time.
"People immediately understood it, and it became a symbol of all the worst kinds of racial hatred imaginable and proof that the civil rights movement of the 1960s hadn't achieved all its goals.
Why was the location so important?
The fact that the North had always been so smug about its own racial history, that it always viewed segregation and racial hatred as a southern phenomenon. This photo helped show that it was not just a southern phenomenon but an American phenomenon. The notion that Boston, the cradle of liberty, could be like Birmingham, Alabama, came as a shock, especially by 1976 when many people assumed that there had been victory for the civil rights movement. The image doesn't invent the idea that Boston was a racist city; it crystallizes and epitomizes it."
April 5, 1976.
(For Frank: 12 years after the Civil Rights Act, about 37 years ago.)
I, too, have lived or traveled all over this vast nation at one time or another, and it's more than apparent that racism lives on. It's more "in your face" in certain areas, more covert in others, but it is alive and doing well all across America.
No, we don't learn from past mistakes, do we? And we allow ourselves to be influenced by media, or by other sources... so that division remains alive and well, thriving just about everywhere.
If I didn't know better, I would swear that some of it is contrived just as a diversion... to keep America eating itself alive, corroding like a leaking battery, while certain groups continue their global plundering and pillaging...

"Dexter" star Michael C. Hall is undergoing treatment for cancer and the disease is in remission, a spokesman said. "I feel fortunate to have been diagnosed with an imminently treatable and curable condition, and I thank my doctors and nurses for their expertise and care," Hall, 38, said Wednesday in a statement.
The actor was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system. The disease is considered highly treatable with the potential for full recovery.
Craig Bankey, a spokesman for the actor, said the cancer is in complete remission and Hall's treatment will continue as planned.
When Hall was diagnosed and the name of the Los Angeles-area health facility where he's undergone treatment were not released.
Hall plans to attend Sunday's Golden Globe awards and the upcoming Screen Actors Guild ceremony with his wife, actress Jennifer Carpenter, who plays his sister on Showtime's "Dexter." Hall is a nominee at both awards shows for his role as Dexter Morgan, a serial killer working as a blood-spatter expert.
Bankey said Hall will return to production on the drama's fifth season later this year.

Please accept our apology for an incorrect date posted on our most recent newsletter:
The 2015 AKSARBEN Coronation & Scholarship Ball will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at the UNO Arena.
The Coronation and Scholarship Ball has a mission of promoting, recognizing and celebrating volunteerism, philanthropy and community pride. It is a fundraising vehicle for the Ak-Sar-Ben Scholars program operated in partnership with the Horatio Alger Foundation and TeamMates Mentoring Program. The Horatio Alger Association has been our partner since 2005. The TeamMates program joined forces with Ak-Sar-Ben in 2008, adding the benefit of mentoring for each scholarship recipient. Fifty four-year scholarship awards are presented to Nebraska and western Iowa students who have overcome great personal adversity and are in need of financial assistance to attain a college degree. The $6,000 awards, payable over four years, are matched by local colleges and universities, including the University of Nebraska system, Creighton University, College of Saint Mary's, Bellevue University and Metropolitan Community College. The Ak-Sar-Ben Scholars program assists over 200 students annually to open the doors of opportunity.
The original Coronation and Scholarship Ball was established in 1895 to recognize individuals in the region for their civic endeavors. The 118th King and Queen were crowned October 18, 2014, in the magical kingdom of Quivira - Queen Morgan Claire Kristensen and King Michael Yanney. Mike Yanney, is a Kearney native and founder of America First Companies, now Burlington Capital Group. The Korean War-era veteran also founded All Our Kids Inc., a youth mentoring service now called Partnership 4 Kids. Yanney is currently the chairman of Building Healthy Futures. His wife, Dr. Gail Walling Yanney, is a retired anesthesiologist who served for 14 years on the Nebraska Medical Center board. Morgan Kristensen is a Minden native and a student at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Kristensen's father, Doug, is UNK's chancellor and is a former state senator and speaker of the Nebraska Legislature; her mother, Terri Harder Kristensen, is a district court judge.
Also recognized during this event are outstanding leaders from around the Heartland. Princesses, Escorts, and Pages represent their families who are being honored for their contributions to the region. The Court of Honor Recognition Award is also distributed at the Ball. Recipients from throughout the region are recognized for one of the following eight categories: agriculture, arts, business and industry, education, philanthropy, professions, public service, and sports.
The 2014 Coronation & Scholarship Ball was Saturday, October 18, 2014. To view it via COX ON DEMAND programming, simply use the following navigation sequence: ON Demand --> FreeZone --> Cox Omaha Metro --> Local Events. Select the Ak-Sar-Ben tab from the tabs at the bottom of the screen and you should see the option to watch the coronation ceremony. The program will be available through Jan. 11, 2015.

Seed farm helps restore prairies
They look like weeds to most people. But to Ryan Brathal, plants growing along the ditches of rural roads can often be a gold mine.
Brathal has an eagle eye when it comes to native prairie plants and grasses, and he's always on the lookout for seeds to harvest. It is, after all, his job.
Brathal is the farm manager at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources seed farm along County Road H near Star Prairie.

Akron-Canton has biggest fare reduction

It's officially official. CAK has really low fares compared to most other airports in the U.S. According to the Business Courier of Cincinnati "The Akron/Canton Airport posted one the biggest reductions since 1995, to $292 in the second quarter of 2008 from $376 in 1995, a 22.5 percent decline." Of course, they were contrasting us with Cincinnati home to the highest fares in the nation. I know the airport is trying to change that but it is hard to argue with a hub...

Some Memphis sanitation workers say it's been too cold for job
The city's inclement-weather policy will be on the table today after dozens of city sanitation employees refused to work last week in frigid temperatures.
About a third of the city's 500 sanitation workers represented by AFSME Local 1733 decided it was too cold to work Friday and went home, according to city officials.
"Workers did show for work on Friday, and they expected to sit and receive four hours of pay and go home at 11 a.m. due to the cold temperature and that Memphis City Schools were closed," said Public Works director Dwan Gilliom.
Gilliom said city crews were working late Monday to pick up the trash that was left behind Friday.
Gilliom said a handful of workers did not show up last Tuesday, when the high temperature was 29 and the low was 13, according to the National Weather Service. The number of no-shows exploded on Friday, when the high was 20 and the low 9, Gilliom said.
AFSCME officials did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Under normal circumstances, union rules say workers are supposed to be assigned four hours of inside work if it's 15 degrees or colder. If temperatures don't improve, workers get to go home with four hours of pay.
But the union memorandum of understanding with the city includes an exception "in cases of emergency or when required to maintain or restore services to citizens."
"The city takes the position that citizens expect the city to make every effort to render or provide once-a-week garbage, trash and recycling services," said Gilliom. "While we are very concerned about the health and safety of our solid-waste employees by providing them with uniforms and protective gear, we also suggest that when certain weather conditions exist, it is the responsibility of each employee to dress and prepare accordingly in order for the city to make every effort to provide its core waste-collection services to our residents."
Many sanitation workers complete their routes, which average around 450 stops, in four hours and go home after that with a full day's pay.
This is the second time in four months that city officials have said sanitation workers refused to work.
In September, Gilliom said problems with trash pick-up were caused by a work slowdown, which began because new stops were added to workers' routes.
City and union officials will be in arbitration over the inclement-weather policy starting at 10 a.m. today at City Hall. Gilliom said some workers have previously complained about working in the rain.
"Some employees have also insisted on four hours of inside work or be released immediately for the day," said Gilliom. "The city has rarely honored that request, and grievances have been filed over that language in the past."
Too Cold to Work?
The city said that 174 of the city's roughly 500 unionized sanitation employees refused to work Friday because it was too cold.
The union and city inclement weather agreement says:
"In case of snow, ice conditions, rain, storms, or tornados, temperatures fifteen degrees Fahrenheit and under, employees who report on schedule shall be assigned a minimum of four hours work inside or excused from duty with four hours pay, with pay for actual hours worked if in excess of four hours, except in cases of emergency or when required to maintain or restore service to citizens."

Possible New Earth Friendly Simple Swap Group
I have been pondering this for some time, thinking about creating a group that would focus on "Simple Swaps" - seeds, reading materials, and things that can be recycled - maybe also some craft items, handmade cards on occasion, recipes, etc. The Round Robin Group had several swaps lately where people swapped books and magazines and I assume all of us think it is a good idea to recycle when we can and keep things out of the landfill. Postage is a concern for many and I would like to see a lot of the swaps for this group be something that can safely be mail in a padded envelope or by media mail.
With the weather being so hot and dry in so many places this summer, seed swaps may be better for many of us instead of shipping plants - at least for several months of the year. I would also like the seed swaps for this "possible group" to be ones where small quantities can be swapped. When it comes to seeds, it is daunting to me if I see that you need a teaspoon of seeds for a swap. Sometimes I only have a dozen tiny seeds. (I think it's fine to have small quantities just to try something out. That is, if the person you are sending to understands the swap will be for a small amount of seeds.)
So here is the "what if" --- If I can get someone who is familiar with the Round Robins and its regular members who wants to be a co-host(ess) with me, I will start a new group called Friends of the Earth: Simple Swaps which will focus on seeds, reading materials, and recycling. My thought is to have a different swap each month based on one or more of the three main themes - Seeds, Read, and Recycle. The monthly theme will be planned by the co-hostess(es) and either hosted by one of them or along with a volunteer for that month. I think we could start a first swap for October and use the month of September to get organized, come up with ideas, etc. Top priority is to see if someone wants to get involved enough to be a co-hostess along with me. It could even be a group of three co-hosts. This will be an active commitment where you will need to monitor the board and discuss planning by e-mail. I would like it if the co-host and I could alternate months to oversee the monthly swaps.
As for membership, I would like to have this be "for members only" with the membership being "very friendly" with maybe as many as 50 members for the cap. We would have a list of members, but with only a little information provided to the hostess before swapping. You would not have to swap every month, just maybe 20-25% of the time. The group would be only for adults. In order to join, you would need to be a reputable GardenWeb member - one who has sent as they should and kept in contact on swaps. (If there is a GardenWeb member who wants to join without a proven track record - that would be possible as long as the person has a member to be their sponsor. The sponsor would be expected to send the type of item that is owed in the swap if the new member fails to do so. Newbies would be expected to mail out within a week of when the swap partners are assigned so the item would be received first and could be reported here on the board.
So there is my "vision." I think these could be simple, not very costly swaps, good for the environment, and a way to introduce new people to the Round Robins yet maintain some reliability so that no one just pops in one month to receive without sending. (That seldom happens here on the Round Robins, but when it does, it really causes a lot of concern.)
What can be recyled? Well, besides gardening books and magazines, there are decorative items, things you might handcraft using materials that are being recycled - such as creating seed packets using paper that has an unprinted side or using garden catalogs to make a seed packet and then adding a plain white sticker for the label or cutting old blinds into plant labels. Many other things, too, as I'm sure we will find out. We can share web sites that give recycling information and share tips here as well.
Remember, there is no new group created at this point! Contact me by e-mail if you would like to be a co-hostess for the overall operation of this group and if anyone wants to suggest monthly swap topics for consideration or say whether they think this is a good or bad idea, feel free to post on this thread.
Wendy, I loved your comment! I use Facebook, too, so I know exactly what you mean. There seems to be enough interest in this swap group that I think we will have an idea for a swap and an October swap in place by the end of this month.
I have someone familiar to you who is willing to be a coordinator along with me. If anyone else is interested in helping in any special way - let me know. I think two is enough, but three would not be too much if you know what I mean! The third person could even just be called upon if the one of the coordinators gets sick or is traveling a lot one month or something like that - sort of a back-up person. However, I know this group of gardeners and if that were to happen I know someone would step up to the plate and help at that time.
I hope everyone has a good Labor Day weekend. Not a lot going on here, but that is fine. I like some relaxing time.
Shirley (sjc48)and I will soon be welcoming you to the first swap for this group. She will be coordinating the group along with me!
I will set up a new heading later this week introducing this group and giving people a chance to sign up for the first swap, so watch for a different heading soon. The full name will be Friends of the Earth Simple Swaps, but look for FOTE being used as an abbreviation in the heading.
You will be signing up with the coordinators by sending your real name, mailing address, GardenWeb name, and e-mail address. You can do that by e-mail as soon as the new heading is posted and post to the thread, too, if you want to join in on the first swap. The reason for the request for information is that we need to know who is part of the group. Nothing other than the GardenWeb name or the first name of the person should ever be posted on the forum. The information will not be used for any other purpose. All who sign up need to be adults.
Okay, so much for all of that. There will be very simple guildelines for membership and these should not impact you unless you had swaps that were not sent in the past or if you are a total newcomer to GardenWeb. The new members will be able to join if someone who is a known member agrees to be their sponsor. If we need sponsors, they will be requested on the forum.
Once the new thread is started, I think the easiest thing will be if you contact either me or Shirley (the other coordinator) about membership by sending the necessary information. If you are a "newbie" tell us that.
I am excited that others are sharing in this interest. My garden is doing so poorly in all this heat and lack of rain that I have missed being able to swap this year and I know many have had to cut back on swapping because of the high cost of sending packages. Maybe this will help members who have those issues and be "Earth Friendly" also.
I re-read what I had posted and thought the new member part might be confusing. All of us will be new members to FOTE. The only new members of FOTE who will need a sponsor will be those who are also brand new members of GardenWeb. When a sponsor is needed, it will be requested on the thread to see if someone who is already a FOTE member wants to be their sponsor. This new status "with a sponsor" will last for 3 completed swaps or the first 6 months, whichever comes first. The sponsor will be agreeing to send something comparable to what was promised if the "newbie" doesn't send. Of course, that won't happen more than once because if the newbie doesn't send, he or she will be off our membership list.
Okay, I hope that clears things up if you were confused. My husband grilled steak for lunch and I was hurrying to get the previous post completed so I could eat my steak. Yum!
Things are still moving forward as planned. Shirley and I have some kick off swaps in mind. I will post a new thread just as soon as I can. However, it may still be a week away. Everything got really busy here and I want to have what I post make sense and take my time with it so I don't have everyone confused. LOL
We are so happy to see all this interest in trying out this new group!
Just wanted to say how excited I am about this new swap group! Jeanne and I have been busy tweaking here and tweaking there-I think you will like what we have come up with! Jeanne is a great communicator, I'm glad to be co-hosting with her, since I am still relatively new to this. I got lucky on my first swap with Margo (smitties) and my luck is still holding, with Jeanne!
We've come up with some great ideas for future swaps, AND we'll be asking you all for ideas too, so be prepared!
Thanks to all who have expressed an interest in this new group!

Jordan Clarkson scored 17 points versus Georgia.
Feb. 25, 2014
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Mizzou Basketball fell 71-56 at Georgia on Tuesday night as a rough shooting game from the consistent trio of Jabari Brown, Jordan Clarkson and Earnest Ross, and 52-percent shooting from the Bulldogs allowed the hosts to pull away and secure the double-figure win.
Unlike last Saturday's loss at Alabama, effort wasn't questioned for the Tigers, but this time it was the shots that wouldn't fall. Missouri went just 3-of-18 from three-point range, including several open looks, and hit just 17-of-53 total shots in the loss. In fact, Mizzou played Georgia tight for most of the first half and trailed by just three, 25-22, before Nemanja Djurisic hit back-to-back treys in the final minute to push the Bulldog lead to nine, 31-22 at the break.
Mizzou scored the first three points of the second half and cut the Bulldog lead down to six on a Ross layup, but a 13-4 run helped Georgia regain control and move to 10-5 in league play.
Clarkson and Brown led the Tigers with 17 points and Ryan Rosburg grabbed a career high 12 rebounds. Freshman Johnathan Williams chipped in 10 points, his sixth career game in double figures.
Missouri returns to action at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon against Mississippi State. The game will be carried on SEC TV.

The Irish woman who lost her life in the latest Malaysian airlines disaster was returning from a trip to Ireland from Australia to nurse her ailing mother. Dubliner Edel Mahady was returning to her family in Perth when she died aboard the jet hit by a rebel missile over Ukrainian air space.
The mother of two had been visiting family in her native Palmerstown for a fortnight before the air crash which claimed almost 300 lives. Her mother had been injured after a fall.
The Irish Independent reports that Mahady had told her mother "I'll see you again" before departing for her adopted home of Australia.
The report adds that she visited her mother in Dublin several times a year and was on the second leg of her journey back to Perth via Kuala Lumpur.
Palmerstown local parish priest Fr Tony Reilly told the paper: "She said her goodbyes to her mother before she left for the airport and said 'I'll see you again."
"I have visited the family and they are grieving. They can't believe it. They are grieving and greatly shocked and traumatised.
"There is a great bond. Edel was very attentive to her mother and came frequently to visit her."
In her 50s, Mahady and her Irish husband Dermot had set up a new life in Perth where they lived with their two children.
She worked as a school administrator at the Good Shepherd Catholic School outside the Australian city.
She is the first cousin of the wife of Labour deputy Willie Penrose.
Ireland's Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan has offered his 'deepest sympathies' to Mahady's family.
He said: "I was shocked and deeply saddened to hear of the crash of flight MH17, and the sudden loss of almost 300 innocent lives. My thoughts are with the families of all those around the globe who lost their lives in this tragic incident.
"I encourage all the authorities involved - and the parties to the conflict in Ukraine - to work together, to ensure that the hundreds of families who have been bereaved can get the answers they need."

Half-Moon Investigationsby Eoin Colfer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Fletcher Moon has never been like other kids. For one thing, he has had to suffer the humiliating nickname "Half Moon" because of his short stature. But the real reason Fletcher is different is that ever since he was a baby, he's had the nose for sniffing out mysteries. And let's just say, it's not a skill that has been appreciated by many people, including his own family.
That doesn't bother Fletcher, though. After graduating at the top of his Internet class, he is officially certified as the youngest detective in the world. He even has a silver-plated detective's badge to prove it. Everything is going along fine until two things happen: a classmate hires him to solve a crime, and his prized badge is stolen. All signs point to the town's most notorious crime family, the Sharkeys.
As Fletcher follows the clues, evidence of a conspiracy begins to emerge. But before he can crack the case, Fletcher finds himself framed for a serious crime. To clear his name, he will have to pair up with the unlikeliest of allies and go on the run from the authorities. Fletcher has twelve hours to find the guilty party — or he is the guilty party.
"This tale from the author of Artemis Fowl tracks the hilarious exploits of brainiac Fletcher Moon, a mere 12 years old and already a graduate of an online detective course. His first case: ber-brat April Devereux, 'head of an entire tribe of Barbies,' hires him to find out who swiped the lock of a pop star's hair that she bought on eBay. Suspicion centers on Red Sharkey, oldest son of the town's leading crime family. Unraveling the mystery leads Fletcher to break rule No. 1 in his detective's handbook — 'Be invisible' — and most of the other rules, too. The large but distinctive supporting cast includes a female school principal whose iron hand is aided by a pair of menacing Dobermans, and Fletcher's older sister, Hazel, who works out her boy troubles by writing plays and poetry while locked in her bedroom. 'How about a rhyme for pathetic?' she asks Fletcher, who suggests 'prosthetic' (this for Hazel's 'epic poem about [his] date with April'). While the setting is suburban and the well-to-do kids have the same fixations as their American cousins, Colfer tailors the details specifically to Ireland. April's cousin May is a step dancer ('Go and do your Riverdance thing,' April says dismissively at one point), the boys play hurling ('the Irish sporting version of pitched battle') and swear loyalty by invoking the Irish marble oath, 'Brick miss must celt.' It's a place many readers will very much enjoy visiting. Ages 10-up. Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Combine Sam Spade's manner, Encyclopedia Brown's curiosity and Columbo's deductive tenacity....Half Moon is full-fledged fun and a sure-fire booktalk....[A] fast-paced romp..." Kirkus Reviews
"A typically funny Colfer offering without the mania of the Artemis Fowl series, the story wittily delivers....Kids who enjoy comic mysteries will have a great time with Half Moon, and the conclusion drops plenty of hints that this could become a series." School Library Journal
Ever since he can remember, 12 year old Fletcher Moon has had to suffer the nickname "Half Moon" because of his short stature. However, what Fletcher lacks in height he makes up for in brains, because Fletcher Moon is the youngest qualified private detective in the world.
To achieve this extraordinary feat, Fletcher changed his age on his birth certificate and signed up for an internet diploma course. He graduated top of his class and received a gold plated detective's shield for his effort. Armed with his prized shield, Fletcher takes on various petty crime cases in his school. Things are going pretty well until one day his shield is stolen and Fletcher is caught up in an investigation involving the town's biggest crime family. Grevious bodily harm, arson, dangerous undercover work ensue as Fletcher is framed for several crimes he did not commit. He is forced to go on the run from the authorities, with twelve hours to find the guilty party, or he is the guilty party.

ART/ARCHITECTURE; Please, Make Yourself at Home in the Art
By DEBORAH WEISGALL
Published: April 23, 2000
BOSTON— CAN I get you some coffee? A cookie?'' Lee Mingwei, wearing a short gray cotton Chinese robe over his chinos and shirt, welcomes me into his work of art in the temporary exhibition gallery at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum here. A sofa and chairs are grouped around a coffee table with a glass display top; the furniture, bland and half-familiar, turns out to be mail order. A museum guard perches in a chair near the sideboard that holds refreshments. A vaguely Victorian jungle of potted palms and blooming clivia looms in back. Finches in two hanging cages chirp and hop from perch to perch; Mrs. Gardner, Mr. Lee tells me, kept birds.
By the end of this month, 40 museum staff members -- curators, guards, conservators and a few trustees -- will have taken turns being hosts for two days each in the living room. Each host brings an object or a collection that has personal significance, and each shares these artifacts with the living room's visitors. One guard, for instance, brought in a vintage motorcycle he is restoring.
Mr. Lee, 34, is a conceptual artist whose installations have been shown at the Whitney Museum and are currently on view near here at the Davis Museum at Wellesley College. He was born in Taiwan and came to this country when he was 14. In ''The Living Room'' he arranged his collection of uncarved Chinese seal stones, an old silk Chinese robe, a book in Chinese on kites, and a photograph of his grandmother's medical school class in China in the 1920's. Facing the camera are three rows of young women. ''There are only two men,'' Mr. Lee says. ''The professor and the other, the cadaver the class has been dissecting.'' He hands me the photograph. I remember my own grandmother teaching mathematics on a Navajo reservation in Arizona at about the same time and think of the complicated, untold lives of women.
In ''The Living Room,'' as in all of Mr. Lee's installations, like ''The Letter Writing Project'' and ''The Dining Project,'' strangers exchange intimate experiences and confidences. It is a work of art made interactive, in which the act of telling is not entirely confined to the artist. The project grew out of Mr. Lee's residency at the Gardner, one of this country's most respected and innovative contemporary-arts programs. The most unconventional of the exhibitions that have resulted from these residencies, it comes closest to capturing the heady, charged atmosphere of the Gardner Museum while it was Isabella Stewart Gardner's house.
Mrs. Gardner built Fenway Court, her 19th-century take on a Venetian palazzo, to house her art. She collected ancient mosaics, Chinese carvings, paintings by Titian, Rembrandt, Botticelli and Rubens, a bronze bust by Cellini, and works by her contemporaries Whistler, Degas and Sargent. She cultivated artists and intellectuals: Henry James and William Butler Yeats were her friends, Sargent set up his studio at her palace when he visited Boston, and the dancer Ruth St. Denis performed in her music room, as did Nellie Melba and the entire Boston Symphony Orchestra.
Mrs. Gardner constantly rearranged and augmented her collection, and her acquaintances. ''She was an installation artist,'' says Anne Hawley, the museum's director, and Fenway Court -- with its changing displays, its entertainments, its mix of guests -- was Mrs. Gardner's masterpiece. She did not claim to be an artist; she lived at a time when art was still required to aspire to eternity.
She did want her invention to last, however, and her will stipulated that if anything was ever altered, the museum's entire contents were to be sold at auction. Needless to say, the place became frozen in time. The lush horticultural displays in the courtyard gave the building the air of being more a mausoleum than a museum containing some of the most important works of art in this country.
Soon after she became the Gardner's director in 1990, Ms. Hawley established the museum's residency program, betting that the presence of artists would bring the museum back to life. Using Mrs. Gardner's own methods to get around the restrictions of her will, Ms. Hawley addressed a current issue as well. ''It's essential for American museums to be patrons of artists,'' Ms. Hawley says. ''We've isolated them from our community. The art world is dominated by commercial culture, which is not about thinking or feeling or expressiveness, and by giving artists time to reflect and work, financial support and a display or presentation so they can interact with the public, we enrich them and ourselves.''
The artists, while reacting to the objects and atmosphere of the museum, also impose on those objects and atmosphere a contemporary eye and contemporary meanings and stories. Since 1992, the museum's artists in residence have included the theater director Elizabeth Swados, the lighting designer Jennifer Tipton, the photographer Abelardo Morell, the glass blower Josiah McElheny, the author Edwidge Danticat and the poet Ann Lauterbach. The artists live in an apartment in a carriage house beside the main building; they have round-the-clock access to the museum, and the freedom to spend their time in any way they want. For the public part of their residencies, Ms. Danticat and Ms. Lauterbach gave lectures; Mr. Morell produced a series of photographs, ''Face to Face,'' juxtaposing images of objects in the collection with each other, and sometimes with portraits of the staff.

From: Perth, ON
Love the hat.... extremely warm, however, first time I tried to tie it under my chin one of the straps came off. I had to sew it back on myself and hope that it holds. Other than that, very pleased...
From: Montreal, QC
It is a super choice, especially for cold Canadian winter, it's so warm and soft...And you can wear it in different ways, you can wrap the "ears" or let them down. I do love my ushanka!
From: Germany
Quick delivery. Excellent product quality.
From: Columbus, OH
Very good quality hat. Only thing I would like to see more of is a bit heavier lining.
