Find out where and when we meet and what we are doing just now.
Perth & District MRC is a Registered Charity No. SC045282
Established around 1960, our club exists to promote the hobby of Railway Modelling in and around Perthshire, Scotland. We meet some Mondays and every Thursday evening at our workshop at Perth Airport, Scone, near Perth and always welcome new members to come along for a look around before joining. Our workshop is also open to members at any time.
We have 7 exhibition standard layouts at the moment, described on this site and are completing one major project at present: "Laurencekirk", based on Laurencekirk on the "WCML", north of Montrose, set in the late 1950's - early 1960's which made its debut in November 2013 but still requires some work to fully complete it. We are also planning our next N scale American layout and a refurbishment of a German N gauge layout owned by one of our members which has not been seen on the exhibition circuit in Scotland before.
Additionally, maintenance work on the existing layouts keep us busy throughout the year. We have some photos and video of our layouts on this site - have a look at our layout pages!
We run one of the most eagerly anticipated and reputable model railway exhibitions in Scotland "A Celebration of Model Railways" always held in Dewars Ice Rink in Perth over the last weekend in June. This exhibition is the biggest club-run exhibition in Scotland. A selection of high quality layouts from throughout the UK, some appearing in Scotland for the first time and a wide selection of specialised trade stands awaits our visitors. See more details elsewhere on this site.
Our next exhibition is on Saturday June 27th & Sunday June 28th, 2015.
We also attend around 12 exhibitions every year throughout the UK and our diary is available from this website.
Club News (Updated 24.1.2015):
30/10/14: We have moved into new premises at Perth Airport. Loads more room!
20/01/15: We have started to add information to our 2015 Exhibition Page now. The show is coming together nicely and we hope you will enjoy seeing the 100 stands or so we are assembling. Also, see us on our first outing of the year at Doncaster over the first weekend in February with Aldbury.
24/01/15: Old Blarney and Fastleigh were photographed today for future articles in British Railway Modelling Magazine.

Godino Salido, M. Luz and Arranz Mascarós, Paloma and López Garzón, Rafaél and Gutiérrez Valero, M. Dolores and Low, John N. and Gallagher, John F. and Glidewell, Christopher (2004) Hydrated metal(II) complexes of N-(6-amino-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-5-nitroso-4-oxopyrimidin-2-yl) derivatives of glycine, glycylglycine, threonine, serine, valine and methionine: a monomeric complex and coordination polymers in one, two and three dimensions linked by hydrogen bonding. Acta Crystallographica. Section B: Structural Science, 60 (1). pp. 46-64. ISSN 0108-7681
Full text available as:
Nine hydrated complexes of Group 2 (alkaline earth) cations with organic ligands which are N-substituted amino acids containing the 6-amino-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-5-nitroso-4-oxopyrimidin-2-yl group have been structurally characterized. The octahydrated calcium glycinate complex, where the six-coordinate Ca cation lies on an inversion centre in the space group P[\bar 1], forms a finite (zero-dimensional) complex. The hexahydrated barium glycinate complex contains eight-coordinate Ba and it is isostructural with the known Sr analogue, and its one-dimensional coordination polymer takes the form of a simple chain. The octahydrated calcium and strontium threonine complexes are isostructural, with eight-coordinate cations lying on twofold rotation axes in the space group C2: the one-dimensional coordination polymers take the form of a chain of spiro-fused rings and a similar chain of spiro-fused rings is found in the heptahydrated barium serine complex, although here the ten-coordinate cation lies in a general position. In the tetrahydrated strontium and barium glycylglycinate complexes, the eight-coordinate cations lie on twofold rotation axes in the space group C2/c, but in the Sr complex the coordination polymer is a chain of spiro-fused rings, while in the Ba complex the coordination polymer forms deeply puckered sheets. There are two types of Ca site in the hexahydrated calcium valine complex: one is eight coordinate and gives rise to a two-dimensional coordination polymer, while the other is seven coordinate forming a finite, zero-dimensional coordination complex. In the heptahydrated barium methionine complex, the coordination polymer is three dimensional. In all of the complexes, the coordination aggregates are further linked by an extensive series of hydrogen bonds.

Glenn Close has new take on 'Fatal Attraction' role
Actress Glenn Close says if she were to play the knife-wielding stalker in "Fatal Attraction" today, she would approach the role differently.
The star won an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of disturbed Alex Forrest, a woman who ruthlessly pursues a married man, played by Michael Douglas, and even boils his family's pet rabbit after he ends their affair in the 1987 thriller.
The movie gave rise to the unflattering term "bunny boiler" for an unstable woman, and Close, whose sister and nephew both suffer mental health problems, insists she now wishes she had done things differently.
In an interview with CBS News, the actress, who has campaigned for mental health organizations in recent years, says, "I was in 'Fatal Attraction' and that played into the stigma. I would have a different outlook on that character (today). I would read that script totally differently. … The astounding thing was that in my research for 'Fatal Attraction' I talked to two psychiatrists. Never did a mental disorder come up. Never did the possibility of that come up. That, of course, would be the first thing I would think of now."
Close goes on to insist actors have a responsibility to deal with such issues in a sensitive manner, adding, "I think as public figures, as entertainers, that we have a moral responsibility to only portray characters, that if, if they have disruptive behavior or behavior that is negative that it has to be responsibly explained. I really do not believe that we can anymore just say, 'Oh, let's make our person somebody mentally ill.' That's really easy because that plays into the stigma that people with mental illness are violent and that is not the truth. … Most people with mental illness are not violent. And most people who commit violent crimes do not have a diagnosed mental illness. That is wrong, and it's proven wrong and it is immoral to keep that perpetrated…"
Close helped found the Bring Change 2 Mind charity and her comments about "Fatal Attraction" come shortly after she participated in a panel discussion at the National Conference on Mental Health at the White House in Washington, D.C. on Monday.

George Clooney enjoys the Hollywood awards season because it gives him a chance to catch up with friends he rarely sees.
The Hollywood star has been enjoying stellar success with his new movie "The Descendants," and has picked up several prizes for the role, including a Golden Globe award for Best Actor.
His pal Brad Pitt has also been enjoying glory for his films "Moneyball" and "The Tree of Life" – and the two actors caught up with each other at the annual Oscar nominee luncheon in Los Angeles on Monday.
Despite being friends for years, Clooney admits he rarely spends any quality time with Pitt and enjoys his company at industry events.
He told reporters at the bash, "A lot of people at home think we all hang out together. I think they think we're always at the Hilton drinking champagne. The truth is I hadn't seen Brad in about a year (before the Golden Globes)… So it's fun to catch up, and it's fun to see people I like and haven't seen in a long time."
Other stars at the luncheon, held to recognize all the nominees for the upcoming Academy Awards, included Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer, Glenn Close and Michelle Williams.
All of the celebrities at the event posed for a group photograph.

Sharon Stone broke down in tears as she accepted a lifetime achievement prize from Martin Scorsese on Monday.
The veteran star became emotional as her Casino director presented her with the trophy at the 11th Annual AARP Magazine Movies for Grownups Awards in Beverly Hills.
Fighting back tears, Stone told reporters, "I must've died and gone to heaven. I've gotten a lifetime achievement award from Martin Scorsese!
"I am so grateful for this day. I'm grateful I'm here in this moment. I'm grateful I'm here, because it wasn't always a sure thing."
Other big winners at the star-studded event included Glenn Close, who was named Best Actress for her turn in "Albert Nobbs," and filmmaker Alexander Payne, who received the Chaise d'Or trophy for "The Descendants."
Woody Allen's sister Letty Aronson, who has produced the director's films for nearly 20 years, was on hand to accept the Best Screenwriter accolade for "Midnight In Paris" on her brother's behalf.
Melissa McCarthy hopes to impress Glenn Close at Oscars
Melissa McCarthy is hoping to run into Glenn Close at the Oscars next month so she can make up for embarrassing herself in front of her idol at the Golden Globes.
McCarthy received her first Oscar nomination on Tuesday for her role in "Bridesmaids," and she was thrilled to learn Close had also received a Best Actress nod for her role in Albert Nobbs.
Now, she has her sights set on a second red carpet meeting with the star after getting tongue-tied when they met at the Globes earlier this month.
She tells People.com, "I hope I can figure out something else to say to Glenn Close other than, 'Holy s–, you're Glenn Close.'
"I just think she makes beautiful, smart, perfect decisions in her characters and roles she plays. She looms very large to me. If I get to re-meet her, I hope I say something that's not as jackassy."
Close Weds Husband Number Three
Hollywood star Glenn Close is hoping it's third time lucky, after marrying husband number three on Friday.
The actress, 58, and biotechnology entrepreneur David Shaw wed in a small, private ceremony in Maine, her spokeswoman Catherine Olim confirmed to People magazine.
Close was previously married to James Marlas (1984-87) and Cabot Wade (1969-71). She has a 17-year-old daughter, Annie, from a previous relationship with John Starke.

Extremely reliable, well made, comfortable Review by Jessie
Quality Price Value Fires everything I put into it. accurate enough, comfortable to hold. I like the business like finish, no attempt to be pretty. It is really not as small as many carry guns but it a stable secure platform. Never a failure to fire or eject in the 15 years I have owned it. Would definitely buy another. (Posted on 8/17/14)
Outstanding CCW Review by Tom Moeglein
Quality Price Value More accurate than I am, eats every kind of ammo, feels and looks like a real gun, not plastic junk! Safe and reliable. (Posted on 12/19/13)
Pros: Shoots everything I feed, Accurate, Easy to maintain, Easy to shoot well, Nice Recoil, Reliable, Easy to Use
Cons: Pricey
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely yes
I like it with conditions. Review by TedF
Price Value Quality I purchared the P239 because I carry a P229 on duty and thought I would make a good off-duty weapon. I have medium sized hand and it is hard to get a good grip on the weapon for me. It had a long break in period, 400 to 500 rds before it became reliable, but I still have to be careful what I feed it. (Mainly Federal Hyda-shok and Critial Defense only). I have come to trust SIG for the great firearms they make, but when you first pick this one up and it rattles I just can't recommend to fellow LEO or armed citizens. (Posted on 2/26/13)
Pros: Nice Recoil, Lightweight, Easy to conceal
Cons: Expensive
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Unlikely
It could be the most reliable gun I own. Review by Richard
Quality Price Value It is a little thicker than most single stack 40 cal pistols but it fits perfectly in my (medium ) size hands. It is not that light but still OK for CCW. It will feed anything you put in it with no problems for me after a few thousand rounds. (Posted on 2/4/12)
Pros: Shoots everything I feed, Accurate, Easy to maintain, Easy to shoot well, Nice Recoil, Ergonomical, Lightweight, Fits very nicely in my hand, Reliable, Easy to Use, Easy to conceal
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Definitely yes

Chestnut Stuffing
- Total Time:
- 2 hr 5 min
- Prep:
- 30 min
- Cook:
- 1 hr 35 min
- Yield:
- 12 servings
- Level:
- Easy
- 1 pound fresh chestnuts
- 8 cups coarse fresh breadcrumbs, from crusty bread
- 4 cups diced cornbread
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 1 extra-large yellow onion, chopped
- 1 turkey liver, cleaned and finely chopped
- 1 cup chicken or turkey stock, preferably homemade or low-sodium store bought
- 1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Cook's Note: You can substitute dry-packed bottled chestnuts in a pinch; you'll need 7 ounces. But your house will not smell as good.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Cut an X into the round end of each chestnut, place on a rimmed baking sheet, put in the oven and add 1/4 cup water to the pan. Roast for 10 minutes; the shells should peel back where cut. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute or two, and then peel while the chestnuts are still warm. Chop coarsely.
Decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and bake until dry and golden, about 15 minutes. Put in a large bowl with the chestnuts and cornbread.
In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter, and then add the celery, onions, and chopped liver, and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add to the bowl with the chestnuts.
Stir in the chicken stock, parsley, sage, salt, pepper and eggs. Spoon into a buttered 3-quart baking dish and bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until browned, about 30 minutes.

"I removed the writing so my daughter could stick a photo of her much loved cat on her correspondence. They look beautiful."
"Ordered these to go with my invitations. They matched perfect! The quality of the paper is great! It's awesome how you can personalize the font and colors! Very elegant! I recommend them as they put a beautiful finishing touch to the envelopes."
"I purchase these adhesive gift tags so I don't need a card to attach cards to a children's birthday gift. they rarely care about the card and it often becomes detached. I made a set of these with a picture of my boys and their names. Everyone loves them! It's also helpful for the parents to know who the gift is from in large classes. I know I'm more likely to recognize a photo than a name."
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"

Project ID: 07-2-2-10
Year: 2007
Date Started: 06/04/2007
Date Completed: 11/30/2010
Title: Continued Evaluation of Post-Fire Recovery and Treatment Effectiveness for Validation of the ERMiT Erosion Model (Combined P07-2-2-10 and P07-2-3-06)
Project Proposal Abstract: The use and cost of post-fire emergency stabilization treatments continues to grow. With the support of several JFSP projects, much has been learned about post-fire recovery and treatment effectiveness, and these data have been used to build the Erosion Risk Management Tool (ERMiT), a web-based model that predicts post-fire erosion and mitigation effects. However, recovery and treatment effects beyond three years remain largely undetermined and the ERMiT model has not been scientifically validated. To address these needs, we will continue to measure the effects of stabilization treatments on erosion and runoff for 4-8 post-fire years at 12 existing research sites in the Western U.S. In addition to providing land managers with essential post-fire recovery and long-term treatment information, these new data, combined with previously collected data, will be used in a rigorous validation of the ERMiT model. This combination of two pre-proposal AFP tasks (re-measurement of past study sites and testing of models) maximizes personnel, existing sites, and methodologies for data collection, analysis, and model validation. Our proposed deliverables include: 1) peer-reviewed articles on long-term post-fire recovery and the effects of stabilization treatments and the validation of ERMiT; 2) a report and on-line database synthesizing results of long-term post-fire treatment effectiveness studies; and 3) workshops for BAER personnel and other land managers on the full effects of post-fire stabilization treatments and the use and interpretation of ERMiT output. In addition, a validated ERMiT model will provide greater user confidence and acceptance in the scientific community, and the output will be more defensible in potential litigation

Former SE Kansas city clerk pleads guilty to embezzling
A former city clerk in southeast Kansas pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to embezzling nearly $60,000 from her town and church.
Diana L.Cox, 67, Havana in Montgomery County, pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of wire fraud, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom's office.
In her plea, she agreed to pay restitution of $14,658 to the city of Havana and $44,568 to Cross Point Baptist Church in Caney.
While working as Havana's city clerk, Cox gave documents to a Caney bank in August 2011 that falsely said the city council had voted to change its policy to require only one signature on checks written for city business, according to the news release.
She was the church treasurer when she created a scheme to embezzling money, including electronically transferring more than $2,500 to a finance company to pay her daughter's home mortgage in December 2011.
Sentencing is set for April 16.

text: NEW HAVEN, CONN., June 3. - A storm this afternoon on prevented the final match in the tennis tournament for the New England championship between Howland and Chace. After the rain a court was scraped and play began. It was a battle royal. Howland smashed well at the net and worked the cross-court to advantage. Chace was steady and used a beautiful Lawford. Howland missed easy returns, but played an aggressive game. Chace won the first set, 6-4. He started in to win the next and had the score 3-1, when Howland rallied. Howland took five straight games and the set, 6-3. Although it was quite dark the third set was begun. Chace won, 6-4. The match was left unfinished. It will be played off tomorrow morning.

Nah I'm proud of this team.
Printable View
People need to realize that we weren't rebuilding last season, but we are rebuilding this season.
Last season we had plenty of vets, guys who knew the game. This season we have guys that don't belong on the court.
I'll say it again, any coach would look bad with this roster.
I think they'll cool off. I can't remember the last time they missed. PS the announcers are clueless.
This team is playing like they don't even have a coach. Lack of direction is so evident. Something Monty is doing that is draining confidence.
It's Monty's fault that we are not running on break. He's a bad coach for that roster.
I guarantee we come back and make a game of this but lose in the final 2 min..mark my words
Gordon is really rusty
Doesn't matter if we are a young team, rebuilding or talent, we should not be getting our asses handed to us by a team that has lost 13 in a row. Does anyone think they are more talented than us.
We can come back. It must start with defense though. And we need Gordon to play like, 18 minutes in the second half.
Gordon's jumper is looking rusty. Gotta get those legs back.
Cleveland down big in Brooklyn.
Charlotte up big over our Baby Bees.
Toronto rOlling in O-town
Washington tips momentarily.
I think it's where you place the blame. I don't put this all on Monty. He could be preaching all of this stuff during practice and they're just not doing it. We're just saying the guy has garnered a ton of respect around the league from players and other coaches, so let's see what he does with a full deck.
I wish Gordon can play 48 mins.
I love the way MKG plays.
Gordon makes a huge difference for us even when he's not shooting well. The penetration he gets is so relieving to see.
I called it before the season started that we were gonna struggle this season as we lost > 1000 games worth of experience with all the trades etc.
what a bad half
Does anyone remember the last time we scored over 100 points?

Phillies' Lee excited for Wood's All-Star selection
NEW YORK -- When the All-Star selections were announced last week, Cliff Lee was happy to hear his name called for the fourth time in his career.
But the Philadelphia Phillies pitcher was equally pleased to hear Cubs pitcher Travis Wood's name ring out when the pitching staff for the National League All-Star team was announced.
For the past five or six years now, the pitchers have worked out together every offseason at home in Arkansas. Little baseball is discussed but the two have developed a close friendship as they push each other as hard as possible to get ready for the upcoming season. On Monday, Lee said he's proud how their hard work has paid off and played a role in the development of Wood, who is a first-time All-Star.
"I'm as excited he made it as I am for myself," Lee said. "It definitely feels good to have aided inthat. I'm not trying to take credit. But just to see him workout and do everything he's done and develop into being in the big leagues and being an All-Star is awesome."
Wood -- who is 6-6 with a 2.79 ERA in 19 starts this season -- lives in Little Rock, Ark. while Lee lives about 10 minutes away in nearby Benton.
[RELATED: Travis Wood takes game to All-Star level, becomes part of Cubs blueprint]
Both men share the same agent. At the agent's suggestion, Wood and Lee paired up as workout partners.
The routine is pretty simple, Wood said, and aside from playing catch, baseball is rarely discussed in their sessions. The pair, who also occasionally hunts together and hang out, see no reason to change their practice.
"Mainly it's just a good workout routine and what that means is to really hit it hard because we really don't talk a whole lot of baseball," Wood said. "We're there to just push one another back and forth and it's been working out so far."
Wood admits he has plenty to learn from Lee, a 2008 American League Cy Young Award winner.
[RELATED: Break couldn't come at better time for White Sox]
The two are both left-handed and Wood would love nothing better than to match the longevity of Lee's career. But Wood figures he can do his research on his own time and prefers to keep the baseball discussions to a minimum.
"It's the offseason," Wood said. "Neither one of us wants to talk a whole lot of baseball. If we see something on ESPN we'll talk about baseball. But as far as trying to pick his brain and what he likes to do, I just kind of take that upon myself to figure it out. I watch him, so I can figure it out that way but I don't typically ask."

Beautiful bra, very vintage looking. I am 34D(38") and I ordered size M in black color. To my surprise it was a bit big, but still wearable. The bra has 2 sets of 6 hooks and 6 eyelets for adjustment. No underwires, only side support with built-in stays.The fabric seemed a little harsh and scratchy. Aesthetically pleasing bra,but does not offer much support.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kpruitt88 Really pretty and well made
Iâm a 34B and I bought this bra in the ivory size S. The bra is ivory as described and not white as it appears in the online pictures. The back of the bra is a smooth material with two sets of clasps to adjust the size as needed. The front is primarily a lace pattern with a subtle floral design. The applique on the front is a mixture of colored thread for the branches, leaves, and smaller flowers and then something similar to velvet for most of the larger flowers. The straps are smooth ribbons that are easily adjustable in the back. All in all it fits great and has a really cute and interesting design. Now the only issue is figuring out how I can wear it to show off how cute it is.

The museum Edward Durell Stone designed at 2 Columbus Circle had a marble facade contoured to the odd shape of the tiny, curved block. Most of each side was solid, but arriving at the corner, the edges were perforated with holes, creating a dotty borner running all the way around the building. When the Museum of Arts and Design hired Allied Works to renovate and resurface the building, those porthole windows were the first to go, replaced by long, narrow strips of glass that afford a better view of the circular traffic, and which wrap up, down, and across the new walls and floors. Circles, the first-floor lollipops, the top-floor Venetian arches, all these vaguely Islamic touches were banished in favor of neo-modern linearity. Only in the basement auditorium do circles still reign.
So it was with a great deal of amusement that I arrived at MAD's new exhibition, "Doris Duke's Shangri La," and found that the circles, the Islamic pierced screens, the carpets, and the globe-trotting exoticism were back. They give the museum's plain vanilla gallery more atmosphere than it has had in many seasons. The exhibition, which runs through February 17, 2013, is devoted to the contents of Doris Duke's Honolulu residence, built in the 1930s to house spoils from 60 years of collecting from Spain, North Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. (The New York Times review is here.) There are architectural drawings from the past (including an unbuilt house inspired by the Taj Mahal) and large-format photographs by Tim Street-Porter from the present, displayed on white easels that suggest campaign furniture. There are images of Duke in ethnic garb, and an assortment of clothes and jewels (rubies figure prominently). There are suzanis and inlaid chests, tent panels and hanging lanterns, objects and decor from across the centuries and continents. The juxtapositions are everything museums have been telingl us we shouldn't do. The ornamental revelry is everything modernists would never do. Except Edward Durell Stone did, thirty years after Doris Duke, here and at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.
The exhibition and catalog, curated by Donald Albrecht and Thomas Mellins, are not designed to underline the connections between the ghost of this particular museum and the treasures on display. Both were commissioned by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art, and the exhibit is traveling to (among other places) West Palm Beach, Ann Arbor, Reno and Los Angeles, where it can be considered in other ways. It is really up to the viewer to judge it as a comment on this container, and a comment on the way we classify artifacts now. (Some of the panels being held in conjunction with the exhibit, as well as work created by contemporary artists in residence at Shangri La, address the political implications.) Abbott Miller at Pentagram designed the exhibit and the catalog, and is responsible for the beautiful perforated metal screens that give the room such delicacy. (You can see installation shots on the Pentagram blog.)
There is something slyly undermining about the whole enterprise of exhibiting such a house. The Street-Porter photographs make it look stunning, down to the marble Moorish bathroom. The screens, installed in front of MAD's long windows, are a shadow reference to Shangri La's own ethno-technological architecture, where a retractable glass wall abuts a carved Moroccan ceiling. The architect of Shangri La was Marion Sims Wyeth, of Palm Beach. In aerial shots you can see that the house is modern in plan, in a Wrightian way, with steps falling down the hill, and rooms arranged around outdoor rooms. Tropical travels. Duke called it a "Spanish-Moorish-Persian-Indian complex," which is a far cry from the correctly labeled (formerly Islamic) galleries at the Metropolitan Museum: Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia.
Despite the presence of critique, as in Afruz Amighi's 2010 "Rocket Gods," this is an exhibition about decorating at the very highest level. Duke and her architects and designers turned ancient and valuable objects into wallpaper, through painted vitrines and layered shelving. In the exhibition there is a photograph of Duke standing in a courtyard, surrounded by apparently identical inlaid chests. The chest she chose is on display further along. It is just shopping. Despite the different (and decadent) reality Duke occupied, there is something endearing about the shameless display. She loved these things, she lived with them, and she decided how they would all go together. Shangri La, for me, falls into the category of so bad it's good, except in this rare case all the over-the-top elements are museum quality. I appreciate seeing rubies and rugs and architecture and landscape and lighting all together. This mixing is what a design museum should do, but too often one category is broken out from the domestic herd. The mix, and the gloriously colored photographs, give the gallery life and a certain otherworldly light.
What I got from "Doris Duke's Shangri La" was not deep, but it was pleasurable. And my mind has been running to connections ever since. Is there a hint of David Hicks in the dining room's pink-and-blue circus curtains? How chic to have a corduroy sectional in front of your retractable wall. And, surely there were hidden meanings worked into gorgeous patterns long before the contemporary artists began weaving, cutting and projecting. Doris Duke made her own ahistorical, ageographical gesamtkunstwerk, and since I never would have been invited for a mai tai, this is a terrific second best.

Police Academy in the Alps
In the midst of all these investigations and uproar, NBC News caught wind of the unfolding scandal at the Marshall Center and sent a team to Garmisch. The network ran a teaser for the story on June 11, 1996, which was set to air as a Nightly News "Fleecing of America" segment the following evening. Soon after the promo ran, Pentagon spokesman Ken Bacon called Jim Maceda, the correspondent on the story. "[Bacon] was livid," Maceda recalled in an e-mail. "Between many expletives, he made it clear that if NBC News ran the Marshall Center story as a Fleecing of America, he wud personally bury my career. How could we be so wrong, so unjust, so f'ing this and f'ing that--I was pretty shocked by the threatening tone." Maceda stood by the story, as did Tom Brokaw, but after being informed of Bacon's criticism a show producer suddenly decided that the piece didn't have strong enough images or interviews. For his part, Maceda says he "had done hundreds of pieces for Nightly which had much less going for them, from a production point of view." Nonetheless, the segment was pulled; in its place NBC aired a report about the reintroduction of wolves into Yellowstone National Park. (Bacon, now the head of Refugees International, says he has "no recollection" of calling Maceda, but he says it could have happened. "We always felt that it was a very mixed picture at the center," Bacon recalls. "There were some good things, but there were some problems, which we were trying to fix.")
In late 1996 Bernstein was finally forced to resign, though the circumstances were hushed up. Cheney, then the recently hired CEO of Halliburton, and Perry helped arrange for him to land a job as chancellor of the State University of New York, but at the last minute the school's board found out about his disastrous tenure at the Marshall Center and nixed the appointment. Bernstein (now deceased) was quietly posted to a slot at the National Defense University, where he kept his senior executive service rank and six-figure salary. (Cheney continues to be a Marshall Center booster and had agreed to speak at a tenth-anniversary celebration but a scheduling conflict prevented it. His office did not provide a response to questions about his support.)
There are certainly talented, hardworking staff and students at the Marshall Center, but in many ways little seems to have changed since Bernstein was pushed out. Since 1998 the school has been the subject of three separate IG investigations. In December 2000 Stars and Stripes reported ongoing troubles at the center and said that the paper had been contacted by at least a dozen past and current staffers who complained of a management climate "in which employees who speak up about perceived abuse...are subjected to reprisal and retaliation by the senior leadership." Professors and administrators continue to draw bloated salaries and are given a monthly housing allowance of up to $1,800. Their vast offices are equipped with a TV and refrigerator, not to mention expensive furniture whose cost has alarmed the Marshall Center's own budget analysts. Many top staffers are former military officials--meaning they draw military pensions of as much as $60,000 annually on top of their salaries--leading some local wags to dub the Marshall Center "The Retired Colonels Benevolent Society."
Staffers are required to do little in exchange for their compensation and perks. Professorial duty doesn't go beyond giving an occasional lecture and running seminars. "The level of instruction at the school does not reach the level of a community college," says former teacher Dan Nelson. Meanwhile, employees have plenty of time to vacation on the cheap at resorts run by the US military or, while in Garmisch, to swim in an Olympic-size pool and work out at a superbly equipped gym--about to be improved to the tune of $700,000, which will pay for, among other things, the installation of hot tubs. The center's deputy director, retired Maj. Gen. Michael McCarthy, is an avid skier and spends so much time working out that some staffers call him "The Chest." Meanwhile, McCarthy pulls in $125,000 a year and in July of last year, after just four months on the job, was granted a performance award of $4,000, despite having created a number of bitter personnel problems. (Kim Walz, a spokeswoman for the Marshall Center, says McCarthy goes to the gym on his lunch break and doesn't ski on company time.)
Junketeering also abounds. A huge travel budget--this year it worked out to more than $10,000 per professor, though a small group of favorites hogs a preponderant share of it--allows faculty and staff to roam widely. One pair of professors, accompanied by their spouses, headed to Italy and the south of France--strange choices, given the school's supposed focus on Central and Eastern Europe.
Just as in the days of Bernstein, the Marshall Center remains a good old boys' bastion (of the twenty-eight faculty members, one is female). A good example of the school's "colonel culture" came in an e-mail McCarthy sent in August 2001 to a small group of male staffers, inviting them to "a manly man dinner" at a local hotel in honor of a visiting general. "The chef is preparing a beef and wine dinner," said the invitation. "We will follow the dinner with single malt scotch and, should you wish, cigars on the terrace."

Picture above is a common type of skin cancer (called basal cell carcinoma) that TSA agents in Boston may have contracted as a result of repeated exposure to the TSA's poorly-tested and controversial naked body scanners. TIME Magazine reports:
The government lied to us again? No way! And made us less safe and less healthy because of their lies? Unbelievable!

Could radiation from full-body scanners be responsible for a "cancer cluster" among airport security workers? That's what Transportation Security Administration union representatives in Boston have claimed.
Now, the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has obtained documents from the Department of Homeland Security, which EPIC says provide evidence that the government failed to properly test the safety of full-body scanners at airports, and dismissed concerns from airport agents about excessive exposure to the machines' radiation.
The documents, which include emails, radiation test results and radiation studies, were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by EPIC and released on June 24. The advocacy group says they indicate that Homeland Security "publicly mischaracterized" safety findings by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), by suggesting that NIST had "affirmed the safety" of full body scanners.

I love this styling tool. I have fine blonde hair and when I use this my hair is so shiny and full of body especially when you heat set then switch on cool setting. Probably will order another one for a spare.
