This review is from: The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Mass Market Paperback)
Once again we tune in on the denizens of Moose County and find all in an uproar. In fact there are several uproars going on in this cozy neighborhood located 400 miles north of everywhere. First there is the new art center which most people love but the director somehow expects the farmers in the vicinity to keep their dirt off of the roads. When it rains you see, that dirt becomes mud and eventually gets tracked into the art center. Worse yet, the library has gotten rid of their card catalog and replaced it with a computer. This little innovation even sparks a demonstration complete with a grill for burning protestor's library cards.
Amid all of the normal Pickax City hubbub resides the ever-affable Jim Qwilleran and his mystery solving cats Koko and Yum Yum. In this entry in the series Koko has taken to singing like a bird and communing with his bird friends as often as he can. He has also been on the case again after a suspicious fire claims the life of one of Pickax's oldest citizens. The authorities rule that the fire started with a kerosene heater but Qwill doesn't buy it and neither does Koko. Yum Yum for her part is happy playing with her new yo-yo.
Eventually of course everything works out and as in previous books Qwill looks back to see just how precise Koko's clues were. For those new to the series Koko, although talented can't talk but he tries to tell Qwill what has happened in some odd ways. Usually however Qwill doesn't figure out Koko's clues until he has solved the mystery on his own. The best thing about this series besides the wonderful cast of characters is that the reader gets the same clues as does Qwilleran and if one pays very close attention Koko will tell you who done it long before the solution is revealed.
Overall this book, while enjoyable is just a little darker than most of the previous entries, although the body count is fairly low especially compared to some of its predecessors. I can't put my finger on the difference but there is a slightly different tone to this book and it is not an altogether welcome change. On the other hand this is still a very fun and entertaining read and this is a book that should be on every cozy mystery lover's bookshelf.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is the one that got me hooked!,
This review is from: The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Mass Market Paperback)
A couple of years ago, I came across this in audiobook format and got it. I had seen some of the books but never purchased any. I listened to it (which is the 20th of the Qwilleran books) and I was hooked! I loved it. I am a cat lover and a lover of light mysteries, and this story had both. The death of a woman in a fire was a little too creepy for me, but other than that, it was light fair very similar to the "Murder She Wrote" TV series that I am still watching in syndication. This book got me hooked and I went to the beginning (The Cat Who Could Read Backwards) and have bought and read the paperback version of each one in order. When I got to this one, I bought and read the book and read it, even though I had heard the audiobook already. It was neat to read the story now that I have a familiarity with the recurring characters. One thing - I don't remember the spelling bee subplot being in the audiobook. The audiobooks are abridged, and that may be something they just removed entirely. (Or I could be forgetting it.) Anyway, I think this is a great book and part of a great series. I am so glad I tried it, and I highly recommend this story and the series to all light mystery lovers.
3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing,
I generally enjoy Lillian Jackson Braun's "Cat Who," books. I have read them all and was a subscriber and contributor to now defunct newsletter that promoted the books. I eagerly waited the 20th book, "The Cat Who Sang to the Birds." I was disappointed. The story line, as in the other 19 books, continues the relationships of the recurring characters. (That's why it's important to read the books, including the collecting of short stories, in sequence.) The latest entry finds a very early Spring in Moose County. Qwillearan interview with an elderly woman who dies in suspicious fire, sketches stolen from the newly opened art museum and a the disappearance of a young artist should make for an exciting novel. It falls short. The cats do play a part in the investigation but their role is not as involved as in the past books. Fans of LJB probably will want to read this book. Those who have never read her books might be turned off from searching out the older ones. For me, there is always next year and the 21st "Cat Who.." book.
3.0 out of 5 stars Assez-passable, but is this really Braun?,
racapowski (Great Falls, MT USA) - See all my reviews
The Cat Who Sang for the Birds has me boondoggled. I don't dislike it; it undoubtedly constitutes a step forward from the previous two installments. And yet there are deep-seated flaws - suspiciously uneven writing and conspicuously uncharacteristic elements - that will so confound longtime fans that the mysteries IN the book are far overshadowed by the mystery OF the book.
The mystery is a given; though the details of the crime itself aren't immediately clear, once the (eventual) perpetrator comes on the scene, we know there is no possible way that this irreconcilably crass, obnoxious, ornery cuss is gonna be permitted to leave the novel unindicted. I'm afraid that a throwaway mystery has now become a Cat Who series standard.
The success here rides on Moose County's natives; contrasted with the homogenous faces of the last few attempts, we have a more developed, diverse, and interesting mix of characters this time around - jocular radio weatherman Wetherby !Goode, the perfect accomplice for Qwill to pump for information and with whom to share sneaking suspicions; amiable, good-hearted yet naive heiress Elizabeth Hart, engaging Qwill in the grandfather-confidante talks that made her so endearing in her first appearance; dying-to-grow-up editor Junior Goodwinter, in a fleet cameo after a long absence; and, of course, chuckheaded underachiever Derek Cuttlebrink, amusing just through his good-natured obliviousness to his own simplemindedness. The chemistry and interaction here is much more fruitful, convincing, and satisfying, and in effect makes Pickax seem much more like a community.
And yet there remain characterization missteps, most notably the passel of dead-ends at the Art Center. Ironically, these "artists" are devoid of any creativity or life - with the treatment the art world got in the early installments, the retread here seems anemic and redundant. They never add anything to the story; they just remain isolated in t!heir own sterile little world, as if they wandered in from another series all together. It all leaves one wondering how Braun could get the older, familiar characters so right - and yet drop in another set so ill-fittingly one-dimensional?
See, we have things that are very, very good and those that are out of place all smooshed together in one incongruous package. Which leads me to this hypothetical question - did Lilian Jackson Braun truly write the entire text of this novel? My answer is no, not based on the evidence Sang for the Birds provides. First, there is the unusually youthful slant, from the anti-DWI fake high school car crash to the perils of Derek and "Butterfly Girl" Phoebe to the Art Center personae. This tack, for Moose County, is all wrong; an older, wiser cast in a quaint, close-knit small town from days gone by was one of the series's earmarks and made the books a refreshing backlash against today's loud, go-go-go, teenage-obsessed media. Braun featured! a share of young characters before, but she always presented them with mature dilemmas and responsible consciences; here, the kids seem particularly jejune and their problems bubblegumish, and the lapse reflects the overall unfamiliarity with how to culitvate the mood that set the Cat Who series apart.
Braun did it largely through the little details. Take Qwill's rencontres with the locals - we got just enough background to set the person's place in the community and relationship to Qwilleran, yet not so much that it broke the sense of well-worn familiarity between Qwill, the residents of Pickax, and the reader. There's no sense of that balance here, as Qwill's mental narration launches into long recounts of awkward background overkill, as if the author her(or him)self had to be reacquainted with the characters. That trend resurfaces throughout the book, with the laborious dredging up of old series in-jokes like Mrs. Fisheye and Ronald Frobnitz. One could even take the !examples of good characterization (since they are all previously introduced charas) as evidence of a new author who must make up for lack of experience by recalling and resurrecting what was best about the series in an overt effort to convince us that, yes, this is a bona fide, full-fledged Cat Who book. The lack of subtlety is painfully noticeable, and the purpose behind such easily decipherable.
The most telltale sign, however, is the erratic behavior of her hero. Even in the sub-par installments, Qwilleran was always Qwilleran - an inquisitive, sardonic, sensible, sympathetic, steady center. Here, though, we run into two big goofs. The first comes when he commissions a portrait of Polly, a serious misstep - Qwilleran and Polly's relationship always held a defining note of mutual respect and quiet love. Neither would ever show such overt adulation for or romanticization of the other. And I cannot abide the second - I'm sorry, but when the book ends with our favorite do!wn-to-earth pseudo-curmudgeon actually considering collaborating on an animated feature starring cartooned crows, I must take issue.
There are several good ideas in the novel - Mary Coggin, Koko's bird garden, the uprising against computers in the library and its subsequent solution, the spell-off - that could only have come from Braun; her touch is not totally absent. But the mistakes here are of the sort that Braun would never commit. She might be grooming another author to carry on after her retirement - a theory quite plausible in light of the story's elegiac overtones. There's considerable talk of tombstones and graves, and the poem by "James Mackintosh Qwillleran" on the jacket (the first appearance of any such work) seems like nothing but an epitaph. Most suspiciously wistful is the ending reassemblage of the steadfast quartet of Qwill, Polly, Arch, and Mildred, reminiscing of good times past and looking forward to resuming comfortable habits and finally winning t!hose ever-elusive little victories, as if reassuring the reader that, hey, no matter what happens, they'll be all right and they'll trudge on. It's the end of an era either way - and, in either case, the world will be a little less bright.
4.0 out of 5 stars A fan favorite just in time for Valentine's Day,
By A Customer
The early Spring should bring with it a gentle serenity to the citizens of Pickax City, Moose County, especially since the new art museum is opening. However, some of the leading citizens are irate because across the street from their newest attraction sits the dilapidated eyesore of a homestead belonging to the Widow Coggin.
Newspaper columnist Jim Qwilleran interviews the feisty elderly woman. However, shortly afterward, she dies in a strange fire that has the markings of arson. Following the fire, some nude sketches are stolen from the museum and a young artist disappears. Qwill, who has a full personal agenda, is nudged by his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, to begin to investigate the weird happenings "four hundred miles north of everywhere".
The twentieth entry in "The Cat" series should please fans of Lilian Jackson Braun's long running series, but everyone else will prefer walking the dog. The story line provides much insight into the various relationships of the recurring characters, but the sleuthing is microscopically small. Still, those who religiously follow the series will want to learn more about their heroes, heroines, and felines.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Never met a "Cat Who . . . " book I haven't enjoyed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Mass Market Paperback)
I have found Mr. Q, Koko and Yum-Yum to be delightful company. I discovered them in the local library in the "Try it you'll like it" section. I have been a faithful reader ever since. The "Cat Who . . ." series are a welcome change from the explicit violence and sex that are found in so many of today's reading material. It is wonderful to find a comtempary writer whose works I feel comfortable pasing along to my teen-agers. I love the tongue-in-cheek humor. Where is the Northeast Central U.S.? I love the character names, the place names, and the name of the local newspaper. The relationship between the Humans and the cats is refreshing, delightful and humorous. Our library didn't have the complete set. I liked these books so much I buy the ones they don't have and give them to the library. I look forward to inviting Mr. Q, Koko, Yum-Yum, Polly, Arch, Derek, and company into our home as soon as the next book is completed.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really great addition to the series,
Chel Micheline "Chel Micheline" (Southwest Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Mass Market Paperback)
Although a lot of diehard fans argue that this is the first "The Cat Who" book that may provide evidence that Lillian Jackson Braun is no longer writing the series, I honestly think that "The Cat Who Sang for the Birds" is a wonderful book. It is a great addition to any "Cat Who" collection. The characters in this book are given much care and thought, and it is a definite page turner. It was this book that made me wish for a real Pickax, so that I could go live among these wonderful people. Qwilleran becomes more compassionate in these pages, Polly loses her constant doubting attitude, and the rest of the residents of Pickax become more than just "characters" in Qwill's life. If Lilian Jackson Braun did indeed pass on her pen, then the author of this book would be an excellent successor. Long live the Siamese!
5.0 out of 5 stars Still worth the visit,
Ann W. Unemori (Savannah, GA) - See all my reviews
Ms.Braun*s latest returns us to Pickax for another visit with Koko, another bit of mayhem. As always, the book*s real appeal is less solving the mystery, and more in watching Jim Qwilleran, his brilliant cats, his lady fair Polly Duncan, and the daily lives of the townspeople. I always look forward to what happens to Homer Tippet, Celia, Robinson, Junior Goodwinter, and other assorted Pickaxers over the series. Even the deceased Iris Cobb is mentioned. The gradual development, the library gets a computer and two cats, the growth of the arts college, compel in a small-town way. The actual Murder, of an old woman tending her small farm, propels the plot without dominating the book. Koko himself, the brilliant cat who always provides the clue that reveals the case, is less prominent than previously, but no less important.
2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Introduction to "The Cat Who" Books,
Paul "swisherreader" (Swisher, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Mass Market Paperback)
This is my first "Cat Who" book, and I must say I was disappointed. There didn't seem to be much of a plot and there was no really no character build-up. There was no remorse over the 'Butterfly Girl' because we never really got to know her and the rogue boyfriend didn't seem to fit with any of the rest of the book. The cats were mentioned very little and the 'psychic' powers of Koko - while interesting - were more than implausible with the 'WEST' deductions.
All-in-All it was an "I must finish this book because I paid for it." experience. Based on the comments of other reviewers - this was not Braun's best - So I may still give one of the earlier books a try.
5.0 out of 5 stars for Moose County content 4 for anyone else,
Jeanne Tassotto (Trapped in the Midwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat Who Sang for the Birds (Mass Market Paperback)
Jim Qwilleran, newspaper columnist and wealthiest man in Moose County (400 miles north of everywhere) finds himself involved in another round of mysteries. This time an eccentric Moose County old timer dies under circumstances that make Qwill suspicious. Aided by hints dropped by Koko, his Siamese cat, Qwill begins to unravel the mystery and is led into a tangle involving county corruption, love affairs and greed. As always Qwill and Koko manage to solve the crimes even though the usual Moose County events intrude.
For fans of the series there are many Moose County moments to savor. There is enough mystery here to satisfy fans of the general cozy genre as well.

Four-wheel drive
A Four-wheel drive (also called 4WD and 4x4) is a vehicle on which all four wheels get power from the engine to move forward. This is as opposed to a two-wheel drive vehicle. 4WDs are often used off road. A true four wheel drive vehicle uses a transfer case to direct power to one or both axles. By having a transfer case the driver can shift the vehicle into either "two-wheel-drive" or "four-wheel-drive" mode. Many transfer cases also have a low power range that multiplies the engine power when in four-wheel drive (called four-wheel low gear). A variant, or similar system, is called All-wheel drive. All-wheel drive uses a center differential to direct a percentage of the power to both axles, depending on conditions. All wheel drive is not designed specifically to go off road but is for traction in rain, snow or ice on the road.

Katy ISD upgrades Rhodes Stadium
Fans don't need to worry about lights going out during big game this year with backup systems installed
By Bryan Kirk | August 19, 2014 | Updated: August 25, 2014 8:45am

Photo By James Nielsen/Houston ChroniclePre-game activities before the Katy Seven Lakes high school football game was cancelled due to a lighting problem at Rhodes Stadium Friday, Oct. 18, 2013, in Katy.
More Information
Bond election
Katy Independent School District trusteeson Monday unanimously approved putting on the Nov. 4 ballot a $748 million bond, which includes plans for a controversial second stadium that last year sank a similar bond at the polls. http://www.chron.com/default/article/Katy-board-puts-748-million-bond-on-ballot-5696901.php
Friday night lights will be shining steady once again when teams take the field at Katy ISD's Rhodes Stadium.
"The changes were necessary to increase patron safety and we have been considering the project for quite some time," said Deborah Decker, executive director of the district's Athletic Department.
It was last October when the stadium lights failed to come on during a match up between Katy and Seven Lakes, who were both undefeated.
The game was suspended and both teams were able to play in the light of day at Tully Stadium the next day.
The cause of the blackout was determined to be a blown transformer, which prompted the need for improvements to the stadium and its security lighting as well as to the public address system.
In June, Katy ISD trustees OK'd emergency system upgrades for Rhodes Stadium to the tune of $439,639, which paid for the relocation and installation of a 40 kilowatt generator and installation of new emergency panels, sound system and security lighting.
"Emergency system upgrades were included as part of the 2010 bond package," said Kathy McDonald, Katy ISD's executive director of maintenance and operations.
Meanwhile, the blackout also fueled speculation that the incident would give impetus to the proposed 2013 bond election, which included funding for a second stadium. But, voters defeated the bond election.
"Katy ISD does not want to replace Rhodes Stadium, but needed to add the emergency generator, egress lighting and the emergency PA system to increase patron safety."
Decker said Rhodes Stadium had inadequate emergency lighting and a PA system that is operable only with general power.
As a result, trustees agreed to fund a generator, and a back-up sound system for emergencies.
As part of the upgrades, the district added egress lighting at the parking lot, lights facing the home and visitor stands for walkway lighting, at the press box and the field house, she said.
The concession areas and restrooms already had battery pack emergency lighting and were deemed OK.
Will the average football fan notice any differences when the stadium lights shine bright once again in Rhodes Stadium?
"No, the lights in Rhodes Stadium will not be any brighter," Decker said. "The average fan will not notice anything new unless we lose power. Once the power goes out, the emergency generator will power the egress lighting and the emergency PA. Patrons will be able to see well enough to evacuate the stadium."

Be the exception.
I've never been very good at talking myself up, mainly because I'm of the opinion that it's better to let people see for themselves just how awesome you are than to try and convince them of it. As a result, I'm just going to make a list of some key points about me that would be helpful to know. 1. I'm very laid back in my approach to life. What I mean is that I don't stress over things I have no control over OR over insignificant, frivolous details. Instead, I am highly adaptable to any situation that develops. On a related note, I don't like making plans. That's not to say I can't plan, I just prefer not to. I'm very spontaneous and like to do things as the mood strikes me. Case in point, one morning I decided to take an impromptu vacation and flew out three hours later that day. 2. I have a strong personality. I know what I like and I know what I don't. I don't like wasting time so I don't do it(read: no drama, no games). I have strong morals, know what's right and wrong and belong to what some might call an "antiquated school of thought." My mama raised me up right! I respect women, subscribe to the notion of chivalry and treat everyone better than some deserve. I think "political correctness" will be the downfall of our country and that people NEED adversity in their lives in order to progress. 3. I'm highly protective of people I care about. I don't know how much I need to explain, it is what it is. I am very selective of who I allow in my life. I would rather have a few friends than a lot of acquaintances because I know those people will be there for me in a heartbeat if I needed help and I for them. I place my loved ones before myself and they do the same. In theory, if everyone cared more for each other than they did themselves, the world would be a perfect place. 4. I LOVE being goofy. I know the previous points were rather serious and somber, but that doesn't happen too often with me. Society says that as you grow older you can't fool around or have as much fun as when you were a kid; I respectfully disagree. The only difference between then and now is that now I have way more things to play with!!!! :D There is no reason at all why you can't enjoy yourself and have fun in your life. I like being silly and will only be serious when I absolutely have to. Life is fun! *side note, I laugh at myself A LOT.* That's me in a pretty big nutshell. In all seriousness, I'm super easy to get along with. I'm a smidge introverted so it might take me a little bit to open up to you, but if you are good with the aforementioned list then you and I will get along swimmingly.

If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
Ah…the dreaded profile description and trying to come across as cool as possible without appearing desperate. I don't see an EASY button on here to help me out so here we go….hang on and prepare to hit the 'wink' button. Your dealing with the ultimate gentleman/bad boy. No matter what happens, at the end of the day I'll make you smile, laugh, and wonder "How come I've never met a guy like this before???". I love what I do and do what I love. I end most of my weekdays trying to look like the next CK underwear model at the gym :). I am a healthy guy and try to keep my mind and body as fit as possible. Afterwards you will find me sitting on my back patio, sipping a glass of chardonnay, listening to Pandora. Most weekends you will find me outside. Whether it's mowing grass or sitting on the back of my boat dangling my feet in the water while the warm afternoon sun warms up my hopefully tanned back… I'm happiest outside. Six things I could never do without: Jesus Christ, God, family, music, laughter, sex, peace of mind, and Pandora (ok, so what…I chose eight). Ok…now it's your turn. If I sound like the coolest guy ever and you want to get to know me, then match has got you an EASY button….it's called a 'wink'(or email if you're the aggressive type). Ciao! Oh, new here and will try and get photo's uploaded as soon as possible.

HUNTERTOWN — All good things must come to an end.
Unfortunately for Columbia City's boys basketball team, the end was Friday night at Carroll.
The Eagles took on DeKalb in the semifinal game, a squad Columbia City beat by one point in the regular season.
The Barons earned revenge in the state tournament, topping the Eagles 46-45 and ending head coach Chris Benedict's season with a group of seniors he's coached since they were tykes.
Margery L. Friskney, age 85, of Albion, passed away at 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013, at Parkview Regional Medical Center, Fort Wayne.
Born on Aug. 28, 1927, in Allen County, she was the daughter of Dee M. and Elizabeth (Cook ) Eubank.
She lived in Allen County until age three, moving to Noble County.
On Sept. 14, 1947, she married Willis J. Friskney at the Sherman Street Church of God, Fort Wayne.
FORT WAYNE — Two of Columbia City's own will appear in the Fort Wayne Civic Theater's production of "The Drowsy Chaperone."
Opening this weekend, the musical plays out the imagination of a Broadway theater fanatic. The man in chair, as the lead role is called, allows his fantasies to take over as his dreams come to life and play out in his apartment.
Saturday's performance is at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Ticket prices range from $18 to $26. The show will run through March 17.
COLUMBIA CITY — Recent facility improvements at the Whitley County Jail are now complete.
Showers at the jail were recently sealed with an epoxy to prevent leaks. The water had begun to be a problem at the facility.
"It has prevented the leaks from going down under the hallway floors or down to the basement," said Whitley County Sheriff Mark Hodges. "When water leaks it has to go somewhere. We had water going into the basement from the showers."
Throughout the years the showers had been routinely painted. Eventually, though, the paint was not sealing the cracks in the floor.
COLUMBIA CITY — Meeting the potential of every student.
That is the goal of Coesse Elementary School. Coesse Principal Laura McDermott gave a presentation at the last meeting of the Whitley County Consolidated School board on progress toward that goal.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Water Department has finished some project work and is looking ahead to more as the weather gets warmer.
There have been problems with water mains and low pressure in Eagle Glen and surrounding areas for some time. There is a two-step process for the solution.
The first project is placing anodes into the soil. Since the soil is corrosive, Water Superintendent Mike Dear said the hope is that the soil eats at the anodes and not the pipes.
The second step is looping a water line near County Line 100 South to Eagle Glen to give a second source of water.
COLUMBIA CITY — It wouldn't be a surprise if basketball was a condition in the Kreigers' wedding vows.
Debbie Kreiger, wife of Wayne Kreiger, a Columbia City basketball coach for more than 30 years and current Canterbury girls head coach, has been to more than 500 of Wayne's games in their 23 years of marriage.
"The basketball season always brings high energy and much excitement into our home," Debbie said.
In 23 years, Debbie has only missed two of her husband's games.
COLUMBIA CITY — It was a close finish at the Indian Springs Middle School 8th grade Lady Stars conference tournament opener — beating Lincoln by only one point, 34-33.
It wasn't a close finish in Whitko's tournament opener against Wawasee, as the Lady Wildcats won 69-14.
In the ISMS game, the Lady Stars started out strong, leading 14-8 in the first quarter. As the game progressed, both teams became more aggressive, especially toward the end of the fourth quarter, where the two teams teetered back and forth with the lead.
COLUMBIA CITY — Registration for youth baseball in Columbia City ends Saturday. Softball's deadline will be in two weeks, on March 16.
The age groups are 4 to 14. There will be a registration time at the pavilion at Morsches Park Saturday from 12 to 2 p.m.
Players are able to be registered for either sport at those times.
Columbia City Park Director Mark Green said people may still register after those dates, but there is a late fee.
"I don't like charging late fees," he said.
COLUMBIA CITY — Indian Springs Middle School's wrestling team battled against Woodside Thursday night.
The Eagles came out triumphant with a lopsided score of 76-8.
Winners for Indian Springs were: AJ Chapin, Braden Baker, Joe Willson, Jacob Wigent, Dylan McClure, Drew Rethlake, Hunter Reed, Matthew Wright, Seth Rosen, Jacob Morse, Jacob Whitehead, Jacob Elkins and Weston Ottenger.
The team is currently 19-2.
Also picking up victories for ISMS were Brenden Schaper, Jon O'Dell, Tyler Hare, Karson Rider, Trevor Fries, Josh Piquignot and Mydrae Brown.

Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan takes her cuts
May 11, 2010, 3:29 PM EDT
This is not a political or legal blog, so I will keep my opinions about Elena Kagan's fitness as a Justice to myself. But I
at least figured that all of you should know that this is a picture of the person who will most likely be the next Justice of the United States Supreme Court:
Word on the street is that Kagan is a Mets fan. If she still has that swing after all these years she'd probably make a more useful Mets player than Gary Matthews, Jr.
- Moshe - May 11, 2010 at 3:33 PM
Elena Kagan is awesome. That is all.
- Alan - May 11, 2010 at 3:59 PM
Awesome, no way. Awful is the better word.
- Moshe - May 11, 2010 at 4:07 PM
Being that I doubt you know anything about her except her political affiliation, I'll let that one slide.
- Jonny5 - May 11, 2010 at 4:09 PM
The first time I saw her on TV I thought I was looking at a young Rodney Dangerfield in a dress. Then they said this was the latest Supreme court nominee. Then I was pretty sure it was Rodney. Then they told me it was a her, and her name was Elana. Why must the media lie to me so?
- BCTF - May 11, 2010 at 4:14 PM
Weird, a lesbian playing softball, go figure.
- Old Gator - May 11, 2010 at 4:22 PM
She looks to me like she could whup your sorry ass before the first empty longneck hits the floor.
Mine too, probably. I've only been power lifting for three years.
- Tom - May 11, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Where is that picture from? That's not exactly what I'd call athletic apparel.
- Oggmonster - May 11, 2010 at 4:36 PM
Substitute "young Rodney Dangerfield" for "old Brendan Fraser" and I went through the exact same thing.
- BCTF - May 11, 2010 at 4:36 PM
It's from a Gap add in 1972
- Ace - May 11, 2010 at 4:45 PM
I love the Awesome v. Awful exchange above. Boils the whole political debate right down to the essentials, and I kind of hope it precludes the need to argue her merits any further.
And hey, BCTF, just because she's 50 and unmarried and used to play softball, that doesn't mean she's necessarily a lesbian. Although, yeah, it's a pretty strong possibility, in which case, wouldn't she be the first gay supreme court justice in history? That would be pretty neat! (I know there were some rumors flying around about Souter, but I believe they were rather roundly debunked.)
- Tom - May 11, 2010 at 6:20 PM
Or is that how they dress for sports in Manhattan and at Harvard? It beats playing lacrosse though!
- Joey B - May 11, 2010 at 9:27 PM
Can't tell too much without seeing the torque, but she looks good in the pic.
Three chicks on the SC, all from the same city, all three rooting for different NYC teams. This is why America rules.
- bugjackblue - May 12, 2010 at 2:29 AM
Scalia and Thomas are already creaming in their jeans dreaming of the spanking the big powerful kind-of-butch Jewish dominatrix is going to give them. "Oh, oh, oh! Thank you miss, may I have another? Oh, oh, OHHHHHHH!!!!" Oh yeah, they've been praying for something like this for years…

10 Reasons Why Oklahoma
Will Win
If today's blurb sucks, it's not my fault
... I have no chance to win because now Tebow is allegedly even more
motivated because he came in third in the Heisman voting.
The C.O.W. airing of the grievances followed by the feats of strength
Ten reasons why Florida will win the national title.
10. The time off ... part one
There's a long, long, looooong time between the end of the
regular season and the BCS Championship Game. It's been over a month
since Florida and Oklahoma each won their respective conference title
games, and while that allows time for some players to heal, and overall
the time off is normally a positive, it can also cool off the hot team.
Florida beat Alabama in a war, while Oklahoma coasted over the second
half of its season and rolled over Missouri. If this game was played on
December 13th, a week after the conference title games, then Oklahoma
would still have all the pistons firing. However, the practice time
still doesn't take the place of live action, and while the Sooners are
taking a different attitude for this year's bowl, it's impossible to
replicate the timing. If OU's timing is just a wee bit off, it could
mean everything.
9. The time off ... part two
Which coaching staff would you rather have with a month to prepare?
Oklahoma's offense isn't a gimmick in any way; it's really that good.
However, it's one thing to have a week to try to figure out what the
Sooners are doing, and it's another to have a whole month to come up
with new wrinkles to confuse and confound. Few offenses were hotter than
Georgia Tech's at the end of the regular season, but the rushing attack
wasn't nearly as precise against LSU in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, with the
Tigers having a lot to do with that. Ole Miss had a month to prepare for
Texas Tech in the Cotton Bowl, and its defense came through fine. A
month off allows the Florida coaches to come up with a few extra
wrinkles and allows time to find more trends and tendencies. Just ask
the Ohio State team that got shut down cold by the Gators in the 2007
BCS Championship Game.
8. The Big 12
The SEC has had its big-time down moments this bowl season (South
Carolina vs. Iowa and Alabama vs. Utah), and the Texas showdown against
Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl is tonight, but for the most part, the Big
12 has had a rough post-season. As it turns out, the South really might
not play any defense as Texas Tech couldn't handle Ole Miss in the
Cotton and Oklahoma State got rolled over by Oregon in the Holiday.
Considering how poor Missouri looked in the Alamo Bowl against a
Northwestern team with far less talent, the Big 12 might not be quite
what everyone thought it was. Of course, Nebraska was strong against
Clemson in the Gator and Kansas blew out Minnesota in the Insight, and
OU had no problems beating either of those two, so there's no reason to
dog the Big 12 too much, but it's just possible that the league really
can't play any defense.
7. Heisman winners and the No. 1 team
Never mess with a streak. For whatever reason, be it the extra
motivation, the extra distractions, getting fat and lazy on the rubber
chicken circuit, etc., Heisman winners struggle in bowl games and the
No. 1 team usually has a big problem. Don't forget that Ohio State, not
LSU, was No. 1 going into last year's title game. Ohio State was No. 2
and Miami No. 1 in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. No. 2 LSU beat No. 1 Oklahoma
in the 2004 Sugar. No. 2 Texas won the 2006 Rose, No. 2 Florida won the
2007 BCS Championship, and LSU won last year. The lone aberration in
recent years was USC's blowout over Oklahoma in the 2005 Orange. The
Heisman winners have also had issues in the bowls. Tebow's Florida team
lost to Michigan last year, Troy Smith and Ohio State got blown out by
Florida, Reggie Bush, Jason White, Eric Crouch, and Chris Weinke all won
the Heisman and all lost their bowl games since 2000. The two exceptions
were the USC quarterbacks, Carson Palmer vs. Iowa and Matt Leinart vs.
6. The 2008 Fiesta Bowl, the 2007 Fiesta Bowl ...
There was a time when Oklahoma was the biggest bad boy on the block;
there's a reason Bob Stoops was called Big Game Bob. But as soon as Mike
Stoops left the coaching staff to take over at Arizona, the team has had
a problem with the late season big non-regular season games, starting
with the stunning 35-7 loss to Kansas State in the 2003 Big 12
Championship. OU went on to lose to LSU in the national title. The
following year came the big clunker, a 55-19 loss to USC in the Orange
Bowl. The 17-14 win over Oregon in the 2005 Holiday was solid, but two
years ago came the loss to Boise State after an inexplicable start, and
then, supposedly fully focused, West Virginia won in a walk in last
years, Fiesta Bowl. Oklahoma has to prove it can handle the biggest and
brightest of spotlights.
5. Florida can score, too
Everyone knows all about the Oklahoma offense and how potent it is, but
it's not like Florida has been struggling for points, finishing third in
the nation averaging over 45 per outing. While there was a 70-point
performance against Citadel to pad the stat sheet, in the last eight
games since the Ole Miss loss the offense has gotten better and better
averaging 51 points per game. Florida's O is almost perfectly balanced
averaging 230 yards rushing and 213 passing per game, and it's
ultra-efficient finishing just behind OU and Texas and Tulsa in passing
efficiency. While the game plan vs. Alabama was Tebow, Tebow, Tebow,
Percy Harvin is back in the mix now to go along with the other weapons
and the coaching staff's disposal that went unused in the SEC title
game. In other words, Florida has the talent to keep up in a shootout.
4. Special teams
The loss of OU star RB DeMarco Murray is hardly a killer for the running
game that's still loaded with talent, but losing his skills as a kickoff
returner, averaging close to 28 yards per return. Juaquin Iglesias and
Mossis Madu should be fine, but the rest of the OU special teams have
been a problem. The kickoff coverage team has been lousy, there hasn't
been a lot of pop on punt returns, and the punting game has hardly been
special. On the flip side, Florida might have the best special teams in
America with PK Jonathan Phillips turning in a great year, hitting
11-of-12 field goals, and with Brandon James averaging 14.14 yards per
punt return and 23.69 yards per kickoff return. Overall, Florida is 8th
in the nation in punting and 7th in punt returns.
3. Don't poke the bear ... don't poke the bear
If you need every motivation for the national championship, you're in
trouble. However, at the collegiate level, having a rallying point seems
to matter more when it comes to momentum than it does in most other
sports, and Florida has one. If Oklahoma CB Dominique Franks wasn't
going to be picked on before, he will be now after saying Tim Tebow
wouldn't be among the top three quarterbacks from the Big 12 South.
Franks went on to gab about how the best receivers and tight ends come
from the Big 12. Forgetting that he might actually be right on all
fronts, when players start to squawk before game of this magnitude, they
tend to face ultra-motivated players intending on beating the offender.
Florida might not be any more fired up to beat OU because of Franks
comments, but Gators might want to do more to beat Franks. The Gators
have their focal point on defense to pick on.
2. The offensive line factor
Tebow has a lot to do with making the offensive line looks decent, he
doesn't go down easily and he helps out the rushing stats, but the Gator
front five really is good. It's not as good as Oklahoma's offensive
line, but it paved the way for the SEC's best rushing offense and
allowed a mere 16 sacks on the year. The Gator defensive front has
already had to deal with some elite offensive lines, with LSU's full of
future NFL starters and Alabama's, when it had Andre Smith at left
tackle, as good as any in America. While the Tide line dominated on a
key second half drive in the SEC title game, the suspect (at least at
the time) Gator defensive front, with concerns about the depth at
defensive tackle, held up well. Now the line has had time to heal and
get the spring back in its step, and it should give the OU front all it
can handle. The Sooners have faced two teams with elite defensive lines:
TCU and Texas. Brian Orakpo came up with two of UT's three sacks in the
win, while the Horned Frogs got four sacks and eight tackles for loss,
meaning the two teams came up with seven of the 11 sacks allowed by the
Sooners. While TCU lost, the 35 points allowed tied Texas for the fewest
given up to OU. Florida doesn't have an elite pass rush, but it got
better as the year went on with four in each of the final three regular
season games. The Gators should be able to generate consistent pressure
on Bradford, even if they don't come up with a slew of sacks.
1. De-fense (clap, clap), De-fense (clap, clap)
The Florida defense might be young, but it's extremely athletic and it's
very, very good. The secondary hasn't allowed more than two touchdowns
in any game this year and it hasn't given up a 300-yard passing day
despite facing the new Arkansas passing attack, Georgia's Matthew
Stafford, South Carolina's passing game, and the efficient John Parker
Wilson of Alabama. No, it's not like getting through the Big 12 South,
but this secondary really is good. Brandon Spikes leads a lightning-fast
linebacking corps that has helped allow just 105 rushing yards per game.
TCU has the best defense the Sooners have seen all season long, but it
didn't have the support of the offense. Florida does. The Gators
finished the year eighth in the nation in total defense, fourth in
scoring defense, 16th in pass defense, 15th in run defense, and second
in pass efficiency defense. If Oklahoma wins this game, it'll have
earned it.

Lost my baby girl today
Comments (10)
I am very sorry for your loss. How you are feeling is normal. It took me at least a month to feel the least bit like myself again. I felt like I could never be happy again too. Things do get easier with time.
Missing her angels
I'm so sorry for your loss. This is hopefully one of the hardest things you will ever go through. When I had my late loss I don't think I felt like myself for months, and it was very hard on my relationship, but we go through it, and so will you.
I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know what to say but it gets better somehow. There are days I feel like I can go on, and others where I'm fine.
our rainbow baby boy - Benjamin 3/11/14
I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my third baby in 2011 at six weeks. Give yourself the time and space to grieve. I won't say it will get better...it will be different, but there will be a time when you can feel happy again. Feel free to PAN me if you want to talk. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Lots and lots of ((((hugs)))).
mom to A and J (18 and 15) and to K (lost on 10/4/2011)
Stupidity doesn't need a reason.
Mommy to Payton Lane (6), Jacob Austin (stillborn 2/10/12 23w5d) after PPROM at 21 wks and my rainbow Avery Grace born 7/25/13. Love all of my babies!
I am so so sorry you have to go through this. I lost my Alana when I was 26 weeks, I miss her every day. I pray your Angel and my Angel are friends.

2015 High School ALL-AMERICAN SELECTION PROCEDURES
Selection of All-Region Teams
All-America Team Selection Procedure
Additional Guidelines
As a trial, High School will implement two additional procedural changes in 2015 to include 1 the use of a coach from the "NFCA Emeriti Group" to serve as the National Chair and 2 implementing consequences for regional representatives who fail to notify the All-American committee when they will be unable to participate in the regional calls.
1 The "NFCA Emeriti Group" is comprised of coaches who are no longer coaching, but who were NFCA members in good standing for at least ten years prior to their departure from the coaching ranks. The identified Emeriti member will be familiar with the High School All-American process and procedures, will provide oversight during the five regional calls, and will ensure consistency in how players are evaluated during the regional discussions. In addition, he/she will facilitate the All-American call comprised of the regional representative from each region.
2 There continues to be a challenge with High School All-American Committee members missing regional calls without notifying the committee of a schedule conflict in advance. If a member of the committee is unable to make a scheduled call, that committee member should make it known and every effort will be made to reschedule the call. Failure to notify the committee will result in removal from the All-American Committee and a three-year probation period in which the member cannot run for the All-American Committee. The NFCA High School All-American liaison will take attendance prior to each regional and the national call.

I just thought of what might have changed the dynamic here.
Perhaps this photographer was an old boyfriend whom she had allowed to photograph her while they were messing around or shoot some nudes of her. If, in this case she knows that she never used him prorfessionally, and therefore, never signed a release, then she could set the wheels of justice going.
1. That would mean that the release is a forgery.
2. The initial call to her would look a lot like extortion.
3. She could go to the police about it.
4. The police then could possibly get a search warrant
I'm not sure but this seems like the only scenario that makes sense to me.

Opium Satin Body Powder
Satin Body Powder
Rediscover the legend of Opium Satin Body Powder. Silken qualities appear upon contact with skin, imparting suppleness and a trail of the overtly sensual scent of OPIUM.
Questions and Answers
I have been using Opium Body Powder for many years and I love it!
Enjoy! Jun 19, 2014
I leave the screen on top of the powder and place the puff on top of the screen. When I use the powder I gently rub the puff across the screen and this way you don't get too much of the powder and there is no waste. I love this powder and have been using it since 1986. Good luck! Jun 19, 2014
Also helps to control powder when packing for travel. Jun 19, 2014
much doesn't get on the puff. I threw it out. Too cumbersome. Hope this helps.
Pam Jun 19, 2014
Thanks! Dec 16, 2013
I'm interested in purchasing the powder, or a gift set with powder included.
Please let me know the ounces and any other measurement I may need, to help me with my choice..
Thank you,
Deborah A. Conway Oct 29, 2012
container on my birthday. Oct 29, 2012
Can not even express how much I miss the Opium Satin Body Powder last year for about six (6) months. Was so thankful when the notice came up on my computer screen that is was again available.
This Body Powder is the best and the only one I use.
Sincerely, Hilda Boswell Jul 2, 2012

Can anyone who has Toshiba Thrive test out if it plays videos on wifi from a network share like a network hard drive or from a shared folder on a networked computer without first coping the whole movie to the tablet?
I tried Acer Iconia, Morotolla Xoom and not matter what file manager or video player I used, they all first start coping a movie to the tablet and only after that they start playing. I also have Acronis 101 and that one doesn't copy videos and opens them right away and starts playing.
Also can you read external hard drives in NTFS format when connecting it to the USB port on the tablet?
