"We're moving right along," said Michigan Department of Transportation spokesman John Richard. "The (spring) flood slowed everything down with the big bridge over the Grand River."
According to the state agency, the construction site near the river was shut down from April 10 until May 10 due to the flooding along the Grand River.
"Once the flooding receded, they got everything back down there," Richard said. "They had to pump out water (from the site)."
Despite the month-long delay, Richard said the high water had an insignificant impact on the grand scheme of the project.
Once finished, the new bridge over the river will be the sixth-longest public bridge in Michigan. It will measure approximately 3,700 feet long and 47 feet high.
It will be just the fourth Grand River crossing in Ottawa County.
Richard said crews are also busy clearing land for the right of way and eventual roadbed construction.
Work crews are also constructing a new interchange at I-96 and M-104. This interchange includes several new bridges, new on- and off-ramps from M-231 to I-96, and a variety of other traffic improvements.
Once this new interchange is done, there will be a new obstacle for motorists — a traffic light.

Deon Butler not only returned to the Seahawks' practice field on Monday, the wide receiver from Penn State was sporting a new number.
What's up with that? Butler had been issued No. 85 when he arrived for the post-draft minicamp earlier this month. But Monday, he was wearing No. 11.
"I wanted to get a sleeker number," Butler, the team's third-round selection in last month's NFL draft, said after a spirited 90-minute OTA session. "I wanted a lower number, because 85 was kind of big for a skinny guy."
Of greater significance than the fact that Butler had opted for a new number is what he was doing while wearing it. Butler did not look – or feel – like the same rookie receiver who had to battle just to keep up in this previous practices with the team.
"I felt good out there, catching the ball and running routes," Butler said. "Just continuing to learn."
And you never know where the next bit of sage advice might come from. On a run play, Butler went to block strong safety Deon Grant, who then informed the rookie that he had presented his hands too quickly.
"It's just a great feeling when you know you can rely on other guys like that, and consistently learn on every play," Butler said.
Butler might have turned in the best play of the day when he made a nice reaching grab of a pass despite tight coverage from Kevin Hobbs – a third-year cornerback whose day included an interception and a break up of another pass.
Butler, as well as most of the other rookies on the 80-man roster, was allowed to rejoin the team after May 16. League rules stipulate that rookies may be on the premises for 72 hours for the post-draft minicamp (May 1-3), but then must leave until their class has graduated – or in the case of Butler and second-round pick Max Unger, the 16th, because they already had graduated.
First-round draft choice Aaron Curry did not practice Monday because his graduation ceremony at Wake Forest was that night. He was scheduled to fly to Seattle on Monday night and join the OTA sessions on Tuesday. Cal tight end Cameron Morrah, a seventh-round pick and early entry in the draft, will miss this week because his finals are not over until May 21.
Guard Max Unger, along with Butler and Rutgers safety Courtney Greene, admitted that things were easier in this OTA session than in the minicamp. Easier. Not Easy.
Unger continues to make the transition from college center to NFL guard, and was working on the left side – as he did in the minicamp – with a No. 2 line that also included left tackle William Robinson, center Steve Vallos, recently signed right guard David Washington and right tackle Andre Ramsey.
"Any time you come into a totally new environment like this you're just going to be completely out of your element," Unger said. "It would be difficult enough if I was still playing center. But now I'm learning a new position, as well.
"But it's cool, though. It's really good."
Greene, the first of the team's three picks in the seventh round, saw time at free and strong safety on Monday, when he was part of a No. 2 secondary that also included cornerback Josh Wilson, safety Jordan Babineaux and the ever-active Hobbs.
"Coming back this time was more relaxed," Greene said. "You've got a better idea of what's going on, what's expected of you. It's just understanding the defense better, after getting in your p laybook, and knowing the guys that I'm in the (meeting) room with know. They're taking me in and teaching me things, giving me tips."
Give another assist to Grant, and also veteran free safety Brian Russell.
"Stuff that causes them problems they're bringing up in the meetings," Greene said. "That makes it easier on the young guys if it happens to us. Just being around those two guys is really helping me."
Greene's best play came in the two-minute drill, when he used a good read and even better reactions to break up a first-down pass intended for wide receiver Jordan Kent.
"This time was fun," Greene said. "My play today was better than before. Now I'm more at ease and know what I'm doing."
So what does a football player do after he has been drafted, but isn't allowed to remain with the team that selected him?
Butler: "I've been just running around like crazy. Trying to finish up all the stuff I need to do off the field – with your agency and financial people. I was trying to solidify that. But in between that I've been working out and just trying to stay in shape because I wanted to come back here and be in the best shape possible so I can contribute to the team. Like coach (Jim Mora) was saying today, 'Not wade into things, but jump right back into it.' "
Unger: "I still have my apartment down in Eugene from college, so I've just been down there and working out."
Greene: "I went home (New Rochelle, N.Y.) and was working out with my high school DB coach and Ray Rice (the former Rutgers and New Rochelle High School running back who was drafted in the second round by the Baltimore Ravens last year). That's about it. Working out and relaxing with my family."
More focused. Better prepared. More relaxed. The Seahawks rookies were that, and more, on Monday. And it showed.

Okta offers a simple to use yet powerful framework to let you create identity management policies that govern the access of people to applications. Whether it's restricting access to applications based on time of day, or adding additional authentication factors based on physical location, Okta's identity management policy framework lets you quickly and easily add additional security measures to your IT solutions.
Okta policy can be used to ensure that the right people have the right access. Users granted access to an application in Okta can sign in, and have their application accounts automatically created using Okta's user provisioning capabilities. When a user's access is revoked in Okta, sign in is blocked and the account is automatically deactivated.
Access to applications can be granted individually, or by group. Group membership can be managed within Okta, or driven from an external directory service such as Active Directory. In this way, applications can be assigned to an Active Directory security group and users added from that group will be automatically be provisioned accounts and granted application access.
Use Okta to control how users should authenticate to your applications. There are two types of policies that can be used with the Okta Authentication Policy framework:
Additional restrictions can be placed on application access to enhance security and ensure compliance with access policies required by your unique business. For example, it's possible to set policies in Okta that allow access to benefits applications to all users, regardless of location, but to prevent hourly workers from accessing work related application when not in your offices. Identity and access management policies can be built with any combination of user, group, location and application.

PBS Premiere: June 26, 1990
In 1986, three women convicted of politically-motivated nonviolent offenses were transferred to a secret, subterranean prison where they were kept in constantly-lit near isolation, watched 24 hours a day and strip-searched routinely for nearly two years. The women were not imprisoned in Turkey or Iran or Chile, but in Lexington, Ky. This startling film is simultaneously a frank account of three uncompromising women who would not renounce their political affiliations and a chilling expose of the secret unit in which they were confined.

That is my objection to most porn: I am not against it at all, it is just that it is a waste of beauty. With the poses the girls have to get into, their beauty is lost. The grace of their body is hidden. Not to mention the stupid, fish-like expressions they get, trying to look "excited". (If you e-mail me, I'll send a page with some examples.)
Beauty needs us! To the battlestations!
Eolake Stobblehouse
Letter of the week, from Glen:
Dear DOMAI,
I love reading your newsletter! It's uplifting to hear about others' encounters with Beauty, and how the experiences have stuck with them over whole lifetimes.
I have one such experience to share. It is the story of the first time I saw Beauty face-to-face.
One summer when I was 15, my parents gave in to my begging and bothering them, and allowed me to spend a few weeks with a friend of mine whose family lived on a farm. I was a "city boy" and didn't know a cow from a steer (still don't), and I think they finally agreed because they thought it would be "educational".
I thought of it more as a time to get away from my parents. Spending a whole summer cooped up in the house with them seemed like a boring plan, compared with getting to see my friend who had moved away two years earlier, and getting to run around a huge outdoor paradise. I imagined "swimmin' holes", campfires, horse riding, and all kinds of fun activities that had nothing to do with "education". Two guys with a whole farm to run around on sounded like the perfect summer. Turns out, I got a kind of education that would stay with me for my whole life.
My third or fourth day there, I was already kind of bored. Life there was so simple and slow. There were chores to do, cleaning up after animals, that kind of thing. I was starting to think it was a lot of work to live on a farm, and no fun at all. My friend told me to take a break one afternoon, and go sit in the barn. I asked him what kind of break he meant. He told me that one of the hay barns was the best place for reading, and a very relaxing spot. I grabbed a paperback I almost had forgotten I had with me, and decided to give it a try. Sure, I thought, the barn would be a quiet place to read. I could use some time alone.
There were no animals in this particular barn. It was a kind of barn for storing large amounts of hay, and some equipment.
The huge sliding door was open just a bit, and I silently slipped through. I suddenly was glad I had entered silently, because it sounded like someone else was already in the barn. In fact, it sounded like someone was having some kind of fit!
I slowly edged around some stacks of hay, towards the sound. I couldn't identify the sounds very well, but it sounded like someone was jumping around, or throwing bales of hay. I thought perhaps someone was stacking them or something. Their heavy breath was echoing softly throughout the whole barn, so it sounded like hard work!
Then I saw the girl. She was about my age, or maybe a year older. She was dancing!
In a corner of the barn where loose hay was piled up everywhere, she turned and twisted her body in a wild dancing fashion. There was no music anywhere, except the rushing wind of her own wild breathing, and she was completely naked.
I froze. My heart and breath stopped. My eyes were drawn like magnets to stay on her, despite her frenzied movements. She leapt and spun, sometimes grabbing handfuls of hay, and tossing them into the air, smiling as the stuff fell over her like spring rain. She jumped time and time again into huge piles of hay, burying herself and digging herself back out again, with laughter. Sometimes as she readied herself for a big dive, she'd back away from that corner of the barn, and run at full speed back towards it.
It was at one of those times she backed a far enough towards me to sense my presense. It's not that she saw me. She could just tell someone was there. Maybe she could tell from the time I first walked in. I don't know. But at that moment, she turned to look at me. We stood three or four feet apart, just looking at one another. She didn't say a word. Neither did I.
Her reddish-blond hair was matted with hay, but it looked as natural as anything, and as beautiful as any girl's hairstyle I have ever seen. Her body was freckled and fair. Her small breasts moved in and out with her heavy breathing. Sweat glistened across her forehead and freckled shoulders. How long had she been dancing and playing out there? She looked exhausted.
She saw me glance over her body, and there was a slight smile on her perfect lips. She was comfortable in her body, and I could tell she liked it. I could see she wasn't like other girls, that would go out of their way to be 'modest', and cover up a leg that was 'showing a bit much'. She was real. She was honest. She was Beautiful. I had never met a girl like that.
We stood facing each other for what seemed like an eternity, but I'm sure it was two or three long minutes. Then she turned and fled. Her pale bottom was small and athletic. I thought, maybe she was an athlete, and this was a workout routine for her? She grabbed some jeans and a t-shirt that had been laid to one side, and some tennis shoes, but she didn't put any of it on. She smiled at me one more time, and slipped out the door on the other side of the barn, still naked.
I never saw her again. I asked my friend who the girl in the barn was. I thought maybe his neighbors down the road had a daughter or something. He said he didn't know who she was, and he had never seen her at school. When he spoke about her, though, just in that one sentence, he had a far-away look in his eyes, and I could tell that he had seen her too. But we didn't mention that. Somehow we just both knew we couldn't talk about it. It was holy, or special somehow, and talking about it might have disturbed the magic of the memory. The conversation just ended there. We never mentioned her again.
Not a day goes by that I haven't seen that girl in my mind, whirling and smiling . . .

About Zevalin(R)
Zevalin(R) (Ibritumomab Tiuxetan) is a form of cancer therapy called radioimmunotherapy and is indicated as part of the Zevalin therapeutic regimen for treatment of relapsed or refractory, lowgrade or follicular B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, including patients with rituximab refractory follicular NHL. Zevalin is also indicated, under accelerated approval, for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, rituximab-naive, low-grade and follicular NHL based on studies using a surrogate endpoint of overall response rate. It was approved by the FDA in February of 2002 as the first radioimmunotherapeutic agent for the treatment of NHL.
Rare deaths associated with an infusion reaction symptom complex have occurred within 24 hours of rituximab (Rituxan(R)) infusions. Yttrium-90 Zevalin administration results in severe and prolonged cytopenias in most patients. Severe cutaneous and mucocutaneous reactions have been reported. The most serious adverse reactions of the Zevalin therapeutic regimen were primarily hematologic, including neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and anemia. Infusion-related toxicities were associated with pre-administration of rituximab. The risk of hematologic toxicity correlated with the degree of bone marrow involvement prior to Zevalin therapy. Myelodysplasia or acute myelogenous leukemia was observed in 2 percent of patients (8 to 34 months after treatment). Zevalin should only be use

This is what I always use on my brows, the colour is perfect for my dark brown hair. It lasts all day, goes on great and the brush on the end is great for blending.

This is a nice powder pencil that glides on without tugging during application. The color matches well with my brownish hair. I also tried the channel brow pencil in bistre. To compare the two brow pencils. I have drawn in the channel bistre on my left brow and the Lanc�me brunet on my right brow. Looking in the mirror in natural light the two shades are identical. I prefer the spiral tip on the Lanc�me pencil to brush any stray eyebrow hairs in place. There isn't much of a difference besides $$ price and the channel is a bit stiffer with a convenient slanted brush end. I would rather purchase the Lanc�me ($20) compared to the expensive ($27) for the channel.

Very soft, high quality brow pencil. I have this, and also the Chanel one in Blond Cendre. The brown in Lancome's Brunet is more of a true medium brown. Chanel's Blond Cendre is more of a taupe/brown. The taupe color works better for me, so I prefer the Chanel one. I also prefer the texture of the Chanel pencil. The Lancome one is almost too soft. They are both good pencils - just depends what color of brown you prefer, and what texture you prefer.

THIS IS THE HG for brows! I thought Chanel Blonde Cendre was the best ever but this is the BOMB!!!! Chanel's Blonde Cendre is OK but it's not as great as the Brunet pencil.
I can walk out of the house wearing Brunet and look AWESOME with NO OTHER MAKEUP. I couldn't do that with Blonde Cendre.
My only complaint is you don't get *as much* product as you do with the Blonde Cendre, but this costs a lot less so it's OTAY. The spoolie end is FANTASTIC -- makes it look SO gorgeous and natural. The Blonde Cendre's brush end rubs all the product off -- whereas the Brunet's spoolie evens it out without creating gaps in my brows. ;-)
=D Also, I got a free gift with purchase with it! Just buy 2 sharpeners! It's worth it!!!

I can fill in my brows and sleep with them on still. I can scratch my eyebrow and NOT wind up with a smudge up to my hairline! Definately justifies the price. Make sure to buy the lancome sharpener, its only three dollars and it will save the pencil from getting chewed up, regular pencil sharpeners DO NOT work with this no matter how new the sharpener is.

I tried to make it work but the color was totally off. I have dark hair and brows but the brunet looked harsh. However, that said, I love the pencil itself, especially since it's like powder in pencil form, so I'm going to get taupe and write a stellar review!

Good stuff. It's a drier, harder, smoother powder than Body Shop's brow powder pencil so the application is easier and more precise. Worth the $20.50. (Edit: Found Versace brow pencil is MUCH better at $24.). (2005 Edit: Even better...Mac Fling auto brow pencil).

This is hands-down the best brow pencil I've ever purchased, period!!! The color is a very natural brunette color that stays on without making your brows look fake. Plus the added brush on the end makes grooming a breeze! This brow pencil should last a very long time! Definitely give this one a try!

Interior Design BFA-MID
Brenau's CIDA accredited Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design is awarded with the Master of Interior Design at the end of theprogram. The BFA/MID combination provides an edge over other bachelor only programs, offering students liberal arts, business, and design electives and the option to begin professional practice in their final year of study.
This program defines the need for the combined BFA/MID to advance the profession and align with allied professions such as architecture and business. The final year of study combines MBA and internship coursework along with advanced studio development. Coursework is well rounded in the liberal arts balanced by professional coursework in design. Critical thinking, process, and 3D development are at the core of the curriculum. We also understand that all studio faculty need practice experience and NCIDQ certification to teach you what you need to know.
The BFA/MID interior design program is available at the Gainesville campus weekdays including courses in our Women's College and as part of our evening & weekend program at the North Atlanta (Norcross) campus. The final graduate year is combined at the Atlanta campus location.
Our Expected Learning Outcomes: (ELOs)
Upon completion of the BFA/MID program students will
ELO 1 Demonstrate evidence of a global perspective and ability to weigh design decisions within the parameters of ecological, socio-economic, and cultural contexts.

U.S. Mint follows up state quarters with "America the Beautiful" program, focusing on national parks and other uniquely American places.
By Scott Kirkwood
Reach into your pocket right now and there's a good chance you'll find a couple of national park icons floating around—the Lincoln Memorial on the penny and the five-dollar bill, or sites like Crater Lake and the New River Gorge which appear on the 50 state quarters released in the last ten years. And starting this April, you're sure to find a few more of your 392 favorite places coming up "tails."
In 2008, Congress passed legislation authorizing the "America the Beautiful" program to honor 56 natural and historic sites in the United States and its territories. Art work on the back of each coin will highlight one of dozens of national park units along with a handful of national forests and wildlife refuges operated by the U.S. Forest Service and Fish & Wildlife Service, respectively. Each year, five new designs will be released, in the order in which the location was first designated, leading off with Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas (set aside as a federal reservation in 1832), Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Yosemite National Park in California, Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona, and Mt. Hood National Forest in Oregon. The program will conclude in 2021 with a coin commemorating Tuskegee Airmen National Historic site in Alabama, but the legislation allows the Treasury secretary the option of extending the program another 12 years to run through the 56 states and territories one more time. As usual, the Mint and third-party manufacturers are sure to generate collector's editions and special mementos as well.
"The idea of setting aside lands and historical places for preservation and historical interpretation and preserving those places for future generations is a uniquely American theme," says Cynthia Meals, a spokesperson with the Mint. "Our primary goal is to meet the demands of commerce, but coin collecting is one of the most popular hobbies in the world—something that people have been doing for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Circulating coins make it into the pockets of everyone in this country and millions of people throughout the world, so it's really a great educational tool to teach people about these places they may have never heard of."
For the last two years, representatives from the Mint have been working with a handful of governors to recognize a site in each of the first few states on the list. Representatives from the Mint have spoken with employees at Yosemite National Park, debating the merits of El Capitan versus Half Dome and determining what aspects of Arkansas' Hot Springs would be the best to carve out the copper and nickel alloy used to create a quarter. The best subjects, obviously, are those that can be rendered in three dimensions with no use of color, which leaves out iconic sites like Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring, for instance. The Park Service has provided the Mint with source materials including historic images and double-checked plant and animals species to make sure they're accurate. A few park rangers have even run out to nearby sites to take snapshots of a mountain's peaks from multiple angles to help out the artists.
The Mint's own artists and occasionally freelance artists will come up with at least a dozen design ideas, which are narrowed down to three to five finalists that illustrate key facets of the site. The Commission of Fine Arts then reviews the designs for aesthetic considerations, and the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee focuses on elements of interest to collectors, like the selection of subjects and the number of coins to be minted. Meanwhile, the state governors and federal agencies like the Department of Interior also get a chance to offer their input. The director of the U.S. Mint takes these comments into consideration and recommends a design to the Secretary of the Treasury, who makes the ultimate decision.
Once a design has passed through that gauntlet, the artist sets to work producing the final three-dimensional version. Some use computer design tools, but Don Everhart, one of seven sculptors led by the chief engraver, continues to rely on an 8-inch disc of clay to do much of his work. If the design involves sharp lines like architectural details such as rows of windows or columns, he'll use the clay shape to create a plastic mold, carve out the sharp lines in that medium, then create another clay figure using that mold, and so on, until he's satisfied with the end result.
"I've only visited a couple of the parks in the first groupings of coins—Yellowstone and Gettysburg," says Everhart, "but they really made an impression on me, and I tried to incorporate those memories and feelings into the designs I created."
The final designs produced by Everhart and his colleagues will be unveiled this spring, and the Hot Springs National Park coin will be delivered to the Federal Treasury and distributed to banks all over the country days later. For more information about the coin program itself, including the entire list of sites and release dates, visit the U.S. Mint. To receive each "America the Beautiful" quarter as it's released, contact Coins of America, which is donating a percentage of the proceeds to NPCA, at 866.615.5867 or www.coinsofamerica.com.

from Spring 2005 [Issue No. 6]
Pig Roast (Part 1 of 5)▪► Bill Bukovsan
[Forward] ▪ [Final Issue] ▪ [Acrobat PDF]
Dr. Valentine kicks the soccer ball as hard as he can and Billy sees it coming and throws his arms up and then it hits him. The back of his hand flies into his face and he falls down and he knows he'll have a black eye and he starts to laugh because he doesn't want to cry. But then Dolly screams and they're all above him, Danny and Dolly and Glenn and Carl and Dr. Valentine closest of all and he says don't move, don't move, and Billy laughs up at them and says my eye hurts and Dr. Valentine says what's the matter with your eye, what's the matter with your eye and Billy says my hand hit it and Dr. Valentine says oh and then he says don't worry about that. Dolly's screaming and Dr. Valentine says you're going to be all right and Billy says I know but my mom'll get mad if I don't put ice on my eye and Dr. Valentine says don't move and then he touches Billy's arm and it hurts. Does that hurt he says and Billy says does what hurt and he can't stop laughing and Dr. Valentine says don't move again but Billy moves anyway, lifts his head and looks down at his arm where Dr. Valentine touched it and sees that it's crooked like the letter zee. Dolly's still screaming and Dr. Valentine looks at her and says go get your mother, honey and Danny says should I go get Billy's mom and Billy says no and Dr. Valentine says yes and Carl says is it ruined, is it going to be like that forever and Dr. Valentine says what and then says I don't know and then says of course not, it's just broken and Billy keeps laughing. It sure looks weird says Glenn and Dr. Valentine looks at Glenn and then looks at Billy's arm and touches it again and says you sure that doesn't hurt and it does but Billy's laughing too hard to say so.
Dolly comes back and Mrs. Valentine is with her. What's going on she asks and Dr. Valentine says I broke Billy's arm and Danny says should I get Billy's mom and Billy says no again and Dr. Valentine says I already told you you should and Danny says but Billy says I shouldn't and Mrs. Valentine says who cares what Billy says, go get his mother right now and Danny says yes ma'am and runs off. How did it happen says Mrs. Valentine and Dr. Valentine says I kicked the ball, that's all, I kicked the ball and it hit him and Mrs. Valentine says you're not a kid, you know that, you can't play kids' games because this is what happens and Dr. Valentine doesn't say anything. Billy's still laughing but he doesn't feel like he's laughing, it just feels like he's shaking and laughter is coming out of his mouth while he shakes and what he's really doing is lying on his back in the Valentines' backyard looking at the sky and thinking that he needs ice for his eye even if his arm is broken and that this is the exact spot where Dr. Valentine's going to dig the fire pit for the pig roast and that he's going to throw up if everybody doesn't go away. He's really white says Carl and Dolly says he's shivering and Glenn says he's laughing, why's he laughing so hard and Mrs. Valentine says he's in shock, he doesn't know what to do and Dr. Valentine says what do we do and Mrs. Valentine says you've got to take him to the hospital and Carl says can I come and Mrs. Valentine says of course not, go home right now and Glenn says how about me, can I come, I'm his best friend and Mrs. Valentine says no, go home right this instant, go home, go home. Then she tells Dolly to run inside to get a blanket and some ice and Billy says I'm going to throw up and Mrs. Valentine says no you're not, just hold it in, where's Danny, where's your mother. She starts shouting for Danny and Danny bursts through the honeysuckle hedge between his lawn and Billy's and says I can't find her, she's not home, and Billy tries to say yes she is, she's in the bedroom working on her lectures but it doesn't come out right because he's laughing and even though he doesn't want to cry he's beginning to wish he would because laughing is worse because at least when you cry you know why you're crying. Mrs. Valentine says he can't hear you, speak up and Dr. Valentine says don't move and Billy says she's in the bedroom, she's in the bedroom and Danny says well, she didn't answer the door and I rang the doorbell a lot of times and Mrs. Valentine says for Pete's sake, just go into the house and get her, just do it, just do it now and Danny runs off again. Wait calls Mrs. Valentine, we can't wait for her, tell her we've taken him to the hospital. Danny stops and says so should I still get her and Mrs. Valentine says yes, of course, just tell her to meet your father in the emergency room.
Dolly is back with a blanket and some ice in a plastic bag. Give me that blanket says Mrs. Valentine and takes it from her and lays it on the ground behind Billy. Lift your shoulders she says and Billy tries but he can't because he's laughing too hard to do anything and Mrs. Valentine says come on, do it, lift your shoulders and Billy says I can't. Yes you can says Mrs. Valentine and Billy tries again but nothing happens and Mrs. Valentine says help him Ron and Dr. Valentine says this is going to hurt, I'm really sorry and he lifts Billy's shoulders and it hurts really bad but at least Billy stops laughing. Dr. Valentine says sorry and pulls the blanket around him and lifts Billy up off the ground and Billy says I'm going to throw up and Mrs. Valentine says no you're not, just swallow it and Billy swallows and doesn't throw up. Mrs. Valentine puts the ice on Billy's arm and says don't just stand there Ron, take him to the car and Dr. Valentine runs toward the driveway until Mrs. Valentine shouts don't run, Ron, walk, he's got a broken arm, remember?
Dr. Valentine carries Billy to the driveway and digs in his pocket for his keys and then he's got the back door of the Cadillac open and is putting Billy inside. Mrs. Valentine runs up beside them and says not the Cadillac Ron, take the station wagon and Dr. Valentine says I've already got him in there, I'm not moving him again and Mrs. Valentine says I said take the station wagon Ron and Dr. Valentine doesn't say anything. Glenn and Carl come up and Glenn looks into the back seat and says aw, man, you get to ride in the Cadillac. I told you two to go home, now go home says Mrs. Valentine and Glenn says aw, man and Mrs. Valentine grabs his collar and pulls him away from the Cadillac and says go home, both of you and Dr. Valentine says I'm not going to move him. Mrs. Valentine looks at Dr. Valentine and then she looks at Billy and says don't you dare throw up. If you feel like you're going to throw up, swallow it. Roll down the windows, Ron.
Dr. Valentine gets into the Cadillac and rolls down the windows and says don't worry, we'll be there in record time. Mrs. Valentine says you drive that car sensibly, Ronald and Dr. Valentine starts the car and pulls out of the driveway and starts off down Willow Street. Billy hears his mother's voice calling Billy, Billy and then Brandy, what happened Brandy and then he can't hear anything except the Cadillac's engine and Dr. Valentine saying you'll see, we'll be there in record time. The back seat of the Cadillac smells like old French fries and cheeseburgers and Billy says I'm going to throw up and Dr. Valentine says you go ahead and throw up if you have to and Billy does and then the back seat of the car smells like old French fries and cheeseburgers and vomit. Do you feel better says Dr. Valentine and Billy says uh huh. And then he says can I please come to the pig roast Dr. Valentine and Dr. Valentine slows down and looks back over the seat at him and looks away and doesn't say anything for a while. Then he speeds up again and says of course you can. Of course you can.
The Valentines' have their pig roast every year on Labor Day and nobody's invited except for people that go to their church and it's not fair because the Valentines come to Billy's family's caroling party every December and they come to the Harwood's Easter egg hunt every April but Billy's family and the Harwoods don't get to go to the pig roast. It's not fair but that's the way it is, every September on the last Sunday before school starts Dr. Valentine brings home a pig and the next day he cooks it on a spit over a fire pit he digs in his backyard and all afternoon and into the night the sides of Willow Street are lined with cars that belong to people nobody but the Valentines know and the air is full of the smell of onion and garlic and rosemary and roasted pig. It smells better than anything else in the world and each year Billy tries to get his parents to complain, to tell Dr. Valentine that it's not right for him to have a pig roast and not invite his neighbors, especially his next door neighbors. But his parents won't do it and when Billy asks why not his father says because they don't have to invite us, there's no law, besides it not doing us any harm and Billy says yes it does too do us harm, we have to smell the pig and we don't get to eat it and besides what about all the cars, aren't you afraid I'm going to get hit and his father laughs and says we're going to have to live next door to the Valentines for a long, long time, I'm not going to make any waves and Billy's mother says you don't want to eat roast pig anyway, it's too greasy, it's bad for the heart.
Billy knows he'd get to go if it were up to Dr. Valentine. Everybody'd be invited if it were up to Dr. Valentine because Dr. Valentine's the nicest guy anybody knows and it's not just Billy who thinks so, it's not just because any time he's taking Danny and Dolly out for ice cream or to McDonald's and Mrs. Valentine's not going he always takes Billy too, it's because even though there are other surgeons he's always on call and Billy gets woken up all the time at two o'clock in the morning by the Cadillac racing down Willow Street on the way to the hospital and because on winter mornings after it's snowed he shovels out Billy's family's driveway and the Harwood's too before Billy's father or Mr. Harwood are even awake. Billy's father likes Dr. Valentine but he doesn't like it when he shovels the driveway and when he does he sometimes says Ron's crazy and Billy's mother says no he's not, he's a Christian, that's what Christians do and Billy's father says like I said, he's crazy.
But it's not up to Dr. Valentine who gets to go to the pig roast, it's up to Mrs. Valentine and she's mean and so nobody gets to go but people who go to her church. Billy's father says she's not mean, she's just unusual, she just does things her own way but that's easy for him to say because he only really sees her at the caroling party and the Easter egg hunt and even then he doesn't have to talk with her because he's already busy talking with Glenn's father and Dr. Valentine. Everybody else except maybe Glenn's father knows she's mean. Glenn thinks there's a rule that in every family one of the parents has to be mean and the other has to be nice except in his family it's his mother that's nice and his father that's mean but at least Glenn's father's nice sometimes and besides he's busy at the college so he's not home most of the time and anyway it's not at all like Mrs. Valentine who isn't ever nice, who hardly ever smiles and when she does it's bad because you know she's only pretending, that she's about to tell you that there's something wrong with you, that if you can't speak in civilized tones in this house you'll have to leave even though Danny was shouting just as loud or that if you keep on using that kind of language you're not going to be able to come over ever again even though all you said was fart which isn't really a bad word or that when she bought this bottle of Coke it was intended for her family, not for every child in the neighborhood. Besides it's better if Glenn's father isn't mean because otherwise Glenn's rule might be right and then one of Billy's parents would have to be mean and he wouldn't know which one because sometimes they're both mean and sometimes neither one's mean and sometimes one's mean but the other's not and he's afraid that if he sat down and thought about it for too long he'd end up deciding it's his mother.
Right now Billy doesn't have to worry about any of that though because Dr. Valentine just said he could go to the pig roast and everybody knows that when an adult says something like that they can't take it back. They get to the hospital and Dr. Valentine stops the Cadillac in front of the emergency room right next to an ambulance and gets out and opens the back door and picks Billy up and carries him through the sliding glass doors shouting I need a bed, I need some ice, I just broke this boy's arm. People are sitting in the green and brown vinyl chairs around the edge of the waiting room and they all look up except for one woman who's got her head between her knees and Billy feels like telling them that he gets to go to the pig roast but he doesn't have time because a nurse comes up and looks at Billy and says oh goodness, he's white as a sheet, come on, I'll find you a bed and they go through a wooden door with a small window with wires in it and into a little room with a bed in it and a curtain around it. Dr. Valentine puts Billy on the bed and says how are you feeling, does it hurt and Billy says not very much because his eye still hurts worse than his arm and Dr. Valentine looks at him and says well, stay here for a minute, I'm going to get some help, don't move, stay right here, I'll be right back and pulls the curtains closed around the bed and goes away. Billy looks at the creamy yellow walls and the blood pressure gauge and the plastic box with the red cross on it and one empty plastic glove coming out of the hole in its bottom and the sink with the spigot like a flamingo's neck and the paper towel dispenser above it and beside it the cart for the defibrillating machine and then someone pulls the curtains back again and Billy thinks it's going to be Dr. Valentine with help but instead it's his mother and he wants to tell her about the pig roast but she looks at his arm and so he looks at it too and sees that it's still twisted into a zee and then she looks at Billy and says you stupid, stupid boy and starts to cry and so he doesn't say anything.
Dr. Valentine comes up behind her and the nurse who met them at the hospital door is with him. I don't know where the radiologist is, he's supposed to be on duty but I can't find him says Dr. Valentine and Billy's mother turns around and stops crying and Dr. Valentine says I'm so sorry and Billy's mother said oh no, there's nothing to be sorry about Ron, Brandy told me what happened, it was an accident and Dr. Valentine said I know it was an accident but I still feel awful, I should be more careful, I can't play with kids like I'm a kid myself and then he says Billy, you've been very brave up until now, I just need you to be brave for a little while longer while we set your arm, can you do that for me, can you be a big brave guy for just a little while longer? The nurse has a tray with syringes on it and she picks up the biggest one and takes the plastic cover off the needle and Billy knows she wants to stick it in him and he doesn't want her to but he doesn't want Dr. Valentine to think he's a baby and maybe decide it wasn't such a good idea to invite him to the pig roast after all so he says I'll be brave. Dr. Valentine says that's a good boy and the nurse takes his broken arm in her hand and says you might not want to look and Billy's mother says don't look, Billy but he can't help it, he watches as the nurse puts the needle on his arm right where it's broken and it's bright silver against his pink skin and she sticks it in and it only hurts a little compared with how much his arm hurts and then she pushes the plunger down and he can feel whatever's in the syringe going into his arm and it's hot and it really hurts. She takes the needle out again and there's a little drop of blood on his skin where it was and Dr. Valentine says that wasn't too bad, was it and Billy says no even though it was. Good boy says Dr. Valentine and touches Billy's broken arm with two fingers and says does that hurt and it does a little and so Billy says not really and he can feel the hot stuff spreading out under his skin and everything it touches feels dead. Dr. Valentine touches Billy's arm again and says how about now, does it hurt now and Billy can't even feel Dr. Valentine's fingers and he says no and Dr. Valentine says good, that's just the way it's supposed to be.
The nurse leaves the room and when she comes back she's pushing a cart with a metal tube on it and the tube has a hole in it and a screen at one end. The nurse wheels the cart over and Dr. Valentine says this is a fluoroscope, it's like an X-ray machine, I'm going to use it to look inside your arm. The nurse lifts Billy's arm and Dr. Valentine says you're sure that doesn't hurt, you need to tell me if it hurts but it doesn't, Billy can't feel it at all, it's like he's been sleeping on it wrong and it's gone to sleep except there's not even that prickly feeling of pins and needles telling him that it'll wake up soon and he gets a little scared and says I don't feel anything, shouldn't I feel something and Billy's mother says he gave you a local anesthetic sweetie, of course you shouldn't feel anything and Dr. Valentine says maybe we gave you more than we needed to but don't worry it won't hurt you and the nurse puts Billy's arm into the hole in the fluoroscope and presses a button and there's a whirring sound inside the tube and then she presses another button and there's a picture on the screen and it looks like two black clouds in a white sky except both of the clouds are snapped in half so there's really four clouds. Oh good Lord, you broke both bones, how could you break both of them says Billy's mother and Dr. Valentine says I'm sorry, that soccer ball hit him pretty hard and Billy's mother says it was an accident Ron, don't worry, I just can't believe he broke both bones and Dr. Valentine says well, I'm really, really sorry but at least they're clean breaks, Billy, this is going to feel strange, don't look at your arm and Billy says can I watch the screen and Dr. Valentine says it'd be better if you just closed your eyes. The nurse comes up behind Billy and he can see her hands come up around his shoulder but he can't feel them at all even though he can feels her breath on his neck. You need to hold him very steady, this boy's a pianist says Dr. Valentine to the nurse and the nurse's voice is in Billy's ear saying are you and Billy's mother says yes, he'd be good too if he'd just buckle down and practice and Dr. Valentine says he sounds pretty good to me already and Billy's mother says well, he'd be better if he'd practice more and Dr. Valentine says okay Billy, it's time to close your eyes now and Billy closes his eyes and all he can feel is the nurse's breath against his neck and Dr. Valentine says hold him steady and the nurse says I am holding him steady and Billy knows Dr. Valentine is doing something with his arm because the skin on his right side gets tight and he starts to sweat and his sweat is cold but he can't feel what Dr. Valentine's doing so he opens his eyes just a little and sees that Dr. Valentine's holding his hand and his elbow and the clouds are moving around on the fluoroscope screen and out of the corner of his eye he can see a lump moving inside his arm like there's something alive swimming around beneath his skin. Dr. Valentine told you to keep your eyes closed says Billy's mother but Billy can't close his eyes, he has to watch because he can't feel anything and the clouds keep moving around on the screen and the thing keeps swimming around beneath his skin and Billy's mother says please be careful, oh please be careful and Dr. Valentine says don't worry, we're almost there and the ends of two of the clouds hit the ends of the other two and wiggle around against each other and then stop and Dr. Valentine says got it, how's that feel Billy and Billy says I don't feel anything and Dr. Valentine says well, of course.
The worst thing about Billy's broken arm is that it itches all the time and the only way he can get it to stop is to pound on it as hard as he can with his left fist and even that doesn't work very well because it only stops itching while he's hitting it and as soon as he stops it starts up again. The itching's mostly worth it because Billy's arm wouldn't itch if Dr. Valentine hadn't broken it and if Dr. Valentine hadn't broken it he wouldn't have invited Billy to the pig roast so Billy tries to remember that when it's really bad but he can't always especially at night because it's been really hot for the last couple of weeks and because he has to lie on his back which is a position he's never been able to get comfortable in so he can't fall asleep so he just has to lie there in the dark feeling his arm itch and pounding on it and wishing he could get up and do something, watch TV or read or play piano or something. But his mother won't let him get up because she says he needs to sleep or his arm won't heal properly and so all he can do is lie on his back and listen to the crickets outside and feel the itches scramble around under his cast like a swarm of ants and know that when he wakes up his chest and shoulder will be sore from holding up the cast all night. A few days ago the itching was so bad that he got out of bed and got one of his plastic army men off the floor and stuck its rifle under the cast to scratch with and that was working for a few minutes even though the rifle wasn't very long and so he couldn't reach very far up but then he started scratching too hard and the rifle broke off so now it's stuck there under his cast just beneath his wrist and that spot itches worst of all and not only that but he knows his mother's going to be mad when Dr. Valentine cuts the cast off and she sees the little green gun on his skin.
His mother doesn't like it when he pounds on his cast because she says his arm's fragile and the bones are just starting to knit back together and he doesn't want Dr. Valentine to have to reset them, does he and so he can't do it when she's around even though his father says there's no harm in it, why do you think they put casts on in the first place. So in the daytime when he can't stand it anymore he has to pretend to have to go to the bathroom in order to pound on his cast which is what he's doing right now, sitting on the toilet with his shorts up because he's only pretending to go to the bathroom and hitting his right arm as hard as he can with his left fist. He must be in here fifty times a day now and his mother's worried that there's something wrong with his stomach even though he tells her there isn't, he just has to go to the bathroom a lot these days for some reason and he sort of likes it because his mother doesn't bug him as much while he's in here and because it's cool and everywhere else in the house is boiling hot. The window's above him with its white curtain with the embroidered flowers at the bottom blowing out a little in the breeze and in front of him's the peach-colored counter with his mother's perfume and bath lotions on it and behind that's the mirror in which he can see the bottles again and behind them just the top of his head and his face down to his nose rocking back and forth as he pounds because he isn't tall enough to see any more. To the right is the shower with the peach bathmat hanging from the frosted glass door's handle and past that are the towel racks with the peach-colored towels and nothing's changed in here since he broke his arm and even before except the towels and sometimes Billy thinks what if he stayed in here forever, he wouldn't want to but what if he had to, it wouldn't be the worst place and at least he could pound on his cast as much as he needed to and then his arm wouldn't itch except when his fist got tired.
He hears footsteps in the hall and then his mother knocks on the door and says Billy, are you okay in there and Billy says yes mom, I'm almost done, just a minute and he pounds on his cast two or three more times and then stands up and flushes the toilet and watches the empty water spin away. When he gets to the living room his mother calls from the kitchen did you wash your hands and Billy says yes and his mother says I didn't hear the water, go back and wash your hands please and Billy goes back to the bathroom and washes his left hand even though he didn't really go to the bathroom and then comes back into the living room and his mother says so how are you feeling sweetie, you want to try it again and Billy says okay and sits down at the piano and wishes that he had stayed in the bathroom longer because his arm itches. He puts his left hand on the keyboard and begins to play, A with his pinky and D with his pointer finger and F-sharp with his thumb and then his mother starts to sing and it's her favorite song, the one about the blackbird and the willow tree and the boy with golden hair and normally he doesn't mind playing it even though it's boring because she likes it so much and he knows that the boy with golden hair is supposed to be him but his arm itches and somehow every note he plays sounds dead like stone falling on stone but there's nothing else to do especially now that he's started playing and he wonders when he can pretend to have to go to the bathroom again.
The stairs behind him creak and then his father comes up out of the basement and he's singing bent my fender now I'm blue in his opera-singer voice and then he says honey, do you want to knock it off with the Elvis tune, I'm trying to work down here and Billy stops playing and his mother stops singing and says it's not an Elvis Presley tune, he stole it, it's an old Confederate song, Jim Reeves used to sing it and Billy's father laughs and says even worse and Billy's mother says why do you say things like that and Billy's father says besides, he can't play with a broken arm, can you Billy and Billy's mother says he's doing just fine, aren't you sweetie, you shouldn't say things like that, you make me feel crummy when you say things like that and Billy's father says it sure is hot today, boy is it hot, I'm going back downstairs where it's cool now that the music's stopped and Billy's mother says the music hasn't stopped, I'm not done singing and Billy's father says I'm going back downstairs and he goes.
Let's try it again says Billy's mother and Billy says I have to go to the bathroom and Billy's mother says again, you're too young to be shutting yourself up in the bathroom all day, that's not supposed to happen for a few years yet and Billy says my arm itches and Billy's mother says I know it itches sweetie, maybe next time you'll think about that before you go and do something stupid like break your arm, there's nothing anybody can do about it now, you just have to ignore it and Billy says I can't ignore it, it won't let me ignore it and Billy's mother says maybe if you played a different song, do you want to play a different song instead, trust me, it'll help if you find something else to concentrate on and Billy says can't I please just go to the bathroom and then he sees the Valentines' station wagon go by through the picture window and Dr. Valentines' driving and Billy shouts the pig's here and runs to the dining room so he can look out the window and into the Valentines' driveway and watch Dr. Valentine unload the pig. The station wagon stops next to the Cadillac and Dr. Valentine gets out and opens the tailgate and reaches inside and then there's the pig, Dr. Valentine's cradling it in his arms like it's a baby. It's a big one says Billy and his mother comes up behind him and looks out the window over his shoulder and says I guess it is and then Danny and Dolly and Glenn and Carl come running out of the Valentines' house and Danny's jumping around next to his father and putting his hands all over the pig and last year Billy did that too, they were all playing inside the Valentines' house waiting for Dr. Valentine to get home with the pig and then he did and they all went outside to see it and touch it except Dolly didn't want to touch it and Billy remembers what it felt like, like soft sandpaper that used to be warm but wasn't anymore. But this year it's only Danny and Carl that are touching it because Glenn's standing off to the side next to Dolly and Billy can't figure out why because he knows she thinks the pig's gross because it's head and feet have been cut off and it's dead and so she's probably saying things like I don't want to look, I just came outside because you guys did, let's go back in and there's no way Glenn wants to go back in, not when the pig just got here. Dr. Valentine lays the pig down on its back in the grass next to the driveway and Billy wants to go outside so he can look at it up close and touch it too but he doesn't ask if he can because he just broke his arm six days ago and even though Dr. Valentine said it was okay to go outside and play with the cast on as long as he was careful and didn't try anything too wild his mother probably won't let him and he could argue with her and maybe even win but then if something happened or maybe even if something didn't happen she might decide that enough was enough, no ifs ands or buts about it, he was staying inside for the rest of the weekend and then he'd miss the pig roast.
Well that's it, there's the pig, you want to come back to the piano now sweetie says Billy's mother and Billy says I think that's the biggest one ever and he can feel his mother's chest against his back and she says oh, how can you tell from this distance and Billy says I just can, it's the biggest and Billy's mother says how come it doesn't have a head, isn't a roast pig supposed to have a head with an apple in its mouth and cherries in its eyes and Billy says Mrs. Valentine thinks the head is gross and Billy's mother says she thinks everything's gross, I just don't see the point of doing something if you're not going to do it right, speaking of which why don't you get back to that piano sweetie, it's bad enough that your right hand's going to forget everything it knows, I don't have to sing but you really should practice and Billy says I have to go to the bathroom and Billy's mother says I'm worried about this bathroom thing, I hope you're not coming down with something, I don't want you sick when school starts and Billy says I'm fine and Billy's mother says I hope so because I tell you what, if it's not cleared up by tomorrow there's no way I'm letting you go and eat that greasy pig and Billy says Dr. Valentine said I could go and Billy's mother says we'll see, right now it's time to practice, come on Billy, chop chop and Billy says this year I get to go.
