CUNNINGHAM, Allan. Traditional Tales of the English
and Scottish Peasantry (1822)
Contemporary Reviews
Monthly Review, 2nd ser. 99 (Nov 1822): 246–52.
In Germany, which abounds with the wild and beautiful traditions
that are almost peculiar to the northern nations, many attempts
have lately been made, and are still making, to collect and preserve
the relics of old national manners and feelings. This seems to us
a very laudable design; for, with all the changes and improvements
which the last few centuries have witnessed in the character of
society, we shall soon be in danger of losing those small particles
of romance which are still mingled in our composition. In our own
country more particularly, such apprehensions appear to be well
founded; our Sunday-schools have expelled no inconsiderable portion
of the old poetical superstitions from the minds of our peasantry;
the universal bustle, which pervades every [246/247] part of the
kingdom, has scarcely left a single supernatural tenant in the quiet
possession of its residence; and the laborious but peaceful pursuits,
in which all ranks are compelled to engage, leave no leisure for
the formation of romantic dispositions. Our nobility and powerful
gentry have changed from bold leaders and gallant knights into sinecure
courtiers, or placable gentlemen-farmers;—the contests between
our great families are confined to a contested election, or the
return of a mayor of some small borough;—our bold yeomen
have become sickly artificers;—the sword is converted into
the plough-share and the bow into the shuttle;—and, in short,
we are in the greatest danger of becoming a most matter-of-fact,
logical, dull, unpoetical people. At this juncture of time, then,
we feel enlivened and aroused by a work which revives in our minds
the interesting images of former times, 'when all the men
were brave and all the women virtuous,' the days of chivalry
and love, and pastoral happiness.
The vallies of Scotland and the north of England yet retain many
curious and romantic traditions among the peasantry;—especially
in the former, where the common people have long enjoyed a sort
of literature of their own, simple indeed and rude, but full of
sentiment and expression. Ramsay and Burns and Fergusson are all
examples of this national spirit, operating on men of high genius
and powerful feeling; while the 'Ettrick Shepherd' and
the author of the volumes before us are living instances to the
same effect. The admiration, which Burns felt and expressed for
the forgotten authors of the old Scotish [sic] ballads,
is a proof that he duly appreciated the merits of his instructors;
and the present attempt by Mr. Cunningham to collect some of the
scattered traditions of his native vallies was a debt of gratitude,
which he owed to the country that had stored his mind with such
abundance of poetic imagery and feeling.—How far the legends
contained in these pages may be the genuine relics of antiquity,
we cannot determine: but we are sure that these tales are written
in the spirit of that wild and simple romance, which is so characteristic
of the antient traditions and ballads of Scotland. In all probability,
we owe many of them almost entirely to the fancy of Mr. C. himself;
though he assures us that such as are not immediately copied from
recitation are founded on traditions, or stories, prevalent in the
north. He has interspersed these tales with a few imitations of
the old ballads and songs, which frequently rival their originals
in spirit, pathos, and simplicity. Indeed we prefer his poetry to
his prose, which is occasionally a little forced and overloaded,
[247/248] and evidently does not flow from his pen with the freedom
and fullness which his poetical compositions exhibit. Nor has he
always preserved that simplicity of style in the dialogue which
we should have expected from him: his rustics, his foresters, and
his pedlars, are too magniloquant, and round their sentences
with far too much skill. This blemish may be particularly remarked
in the conversation of Dame Foljambe, in 'the King of the
'The Selbys of Cumberland' contribute the longest and
one of the best of these traditional tales. A descendant of that
noble house, once the fairest of its daughters, but now aged and
poor, is supposed to relate some legends of her unfortunate family;
and she tells how she accompanied her cousin and lover young Walter
Selby, the last of his name, when he marched under the banner of
the exiled Stuarts, and fell at the battle of Preston. The following
is an animated description of the rebel army:
' "It is not my wish to relate all I heard, and describe
all I saw on our way southward; but our array was a sight worth
seeing, and a sight we shall never see again—for war is now
become a trade, and men are trained to battle like hounds to the
hunting. In those days the noble and the gentle, each with his own
banner,—with kinsmen and retainers, came forth to battle;
and war seemed more a chivalrous effort than it seems now—when
the land commits its fame and its existence to men hired by sound
of trumpet and by beat of drum. It was soon broad daylight; all
the adherents of the house of Stuart had moved towards Lancashire,
from the south of Scotland and the north of England; and forming
a junction where the Westmoreland mountains slope down to the vales,
now covered the road as far as my eye could reach—not in
regular companies, but in clusters and crowds, with colours displayed.
—There might be, in all, one thousand horsemen and fifteen
hundred foot, the former armed with sword and pistol, and carabine
—the latter with musket and spear. It was a fair sight to
see so many gentlemen dressed in the cavalier garb of other days,
some with head and bosom pieces of burnished mail, others with slouched
hats and feathers, and scarlet vests, and all with short cloaks
or mantles, of velvet or woollen, clasped at the bosom with gold,
and embroidered each according to their own or their mistress's
fancy. A body of three hundred chosen horsemen, pertaining to my
Lord Kenmore, marched in front, singing, according to the fashion
of the Scotch, rude and homely ballads in honour of their leader.
'Kenmore's on and awa, Willie,
Kenmore's on and awa,
And Kenmore's lord is the gallantest lord
That ever Galloway saw. [248/249]
'Success to Kenmore's band, Willie,
Success to Kenmore's band;
There was never a heart that fear'd a Whig,
E'er rode by Kenmore's hand.
'There's a rose in Kenmore's cap, Willie,
There's a rose in Kenmore's cap,—
He'll steep it red in ruddie life's blood,
Afore the battle drap.
' "Such were some of the verses by which the rustic
minstrels of those days sought to stimulate the valour of their
countrymen. One hundred horse, conducted by Lord Nithsdale, succeeded;
those of Lord Derwentwater followed; a band, numerous, but divided
in opinion; unsteady in resolution, and timid in the time of need
and peril, like their unfortunate lord. The foot followed: a band
of warriors, strange, and even savage in their appearance; brave
and skilful, and unblenching in battle, with plaid and bonnet and
broadsword, bare-kneed, and marching to a kind of wild music, which,
by recalling the airs of their ancestors, and the battles in which
they fought and bled, kindles a military fury and resolution which
destroys all against which it is directed. These were men from the
mountains of Scotland, and they were led by chieftain Mackintosh,
who was to them as a divinity; compared to whom, the prince, in
whose cause they fought, was a common being, a mere mortal. I admired
the rude, natural courtesy of these people, and lamented the coward
counsels which delivered them up to the axe and the cord, without
striking a single blow. The rear, accounted, in this march, with
an enemy behind as well as before, a post of some peril, was brought
up by about two hundred border cavaliers and their adherents; and
with them rode Walter Selby and his new companion. The command seemed
divided among many; and without obeying any one chief in particular,
all seemed zealous in the cause, and marched on with a rapidity
regulated by the motions of the foot." '
The picture of a Cumberland peasant's cottage is well drawn:
' "A bright fire, a clean floor, and a pleasant company,"
is one of the proverbial wishes of domestic comfort among the wilds
of Cumberland. The moorland-residence of Randal Rode exhibited the
first and second portions of the primitive wish, and it required
no very deep discernment to see that around the ample hearth we
had materials for completing the proverb. In each face was reflected
that singular mixture of gravity and humour, peculiar, I apprehend,
to the people of the north. Before a large fire, which it is reckoned
ominous ever to extinguish, lay half-a dozen sheep-dogs, spreading
out their white bosoms to the heat, and each placed opposite to
the seat of its owner. The lord or rather portioner of Fremmet-ha
himself lay apart on a large couch of oak antiquely carved, and
ornamented like some of the massive [249/250] furniture of the days
of the olden church, with beads, and crosses, and pastoral crooks.
This settee was bedded deep with sheep-skins, each retaining a fleece
of long white wool. At each end lay a shepherd's dog, past
its prime, like its master, and, like him, enjoying a kind of half-ruminating
and drowsy leisure peculiar to old age. Three or four busy wheels,
guided by as many maidens, manufactured wool into yarn for rugs,
and mauds, and mantles. Three other maidens, with bared arms, prepared
curds for cheese, and their hands rivalled in whiteness the curdled
milk itself. Under the light of a large candlestick several youths
pursued the amusement of the popular game of draughts. This piece
of rude furniture ought not to escape particular description. It
resembled an Etruscan candelabra, and was composed of a shaft, capable
of being depressed or elevated by means of a notched groove, and
sunk secure in a block of wood at the floor, terminated above in
a shallow cruse or plate, like a three-cocked hat, in each corner
of which stood a large candle, rendering the spacious hall where
we sat as light as day. On this scene of patriarchal happiness looked
my old companion Eleanor Selby, contrasting, as she glanced her
eye in succession over the tokens of shepherds' wealth in
which the house abounded, the present day with the past; the times
of the fleece, the shears, and the distaff, with those of broils
and blood, and mutual inroad and invasion, when the name of Selby
stood high in the chivalry of the north. One might observe in her
changing looks the themes of rustic degradation and chivalrous glory
on which she brooded; and the present peaceful time suffered by
the comparison, as the present always does in the contemplation
of old age. The constant attention of young Maude Rode, who ministered
to the comfort of her ancient and wayward relative, seemed gradually
to soothe and charm down the demon of proud ancestry, who maintained
rule in her breast; and after interchanging softer and softer looks
of acknowledgment and kindness with her fair young kinswoman, she
thus proceeded to relate some of the adventures she had witnessed
in the time of her youth. These she poured out in a very singular
manner, unconscious, apparently, at times, of the presence of others,
and often addressing herself to the individuals whom her narrative
recalled to life, as if they stood life-like and breathing before
We wish that we had space to give that truly martial and spirit-stirring
ballad, 'Sir Roland Græme:' but we must beg our
readers to content themselves with the shorter one of 'Lady
'On the holly tree sat a raven black,
And at its foot a lady fair
Sat singing of sorrow, and shedding down
The tresses of her nut-brown hair:
And aye as that fair dame's voice awoke,
The raven broke in with a chorusing croak. [250/251]
' "The steeds they are saddled on Derwent-banks;
The banners are streaming so broad and free;
The sharp sword sits at each Selby's side,
And all to be dyed for the love of me:
And I maun give this lily-white hand
To him who wields the wightest brand."
'She coost her mantle of satin so fine,
She kilted her gown of the deep-sea green,
She wound her locks round her brow, and flew
Where the swords were glimmering sharp and sheen:
As she flew, the trumpet awoke with a clang,
And the sharp blades smote, and the bow-strings sang.
'The streamlet that ran down the lonely vale,
Aneath its banks, half seen, half hid,
Seem'd melted silver—at once it came down
From the shocking of horseman—reeking and red;
And that lady flew—and she utter'd a cry,
As the riderless steeds came rushing by.
'And many have fallen—and more have fled:—
All in a nook of bloody ground
That lady sat by a bleeding knight,
And strove with her fingers to staunch the wound:
Her locks, like sun-beams when summer's in pride,
She pluck'd and plac'd on his wounded side.
'And aye the sorer that lady sigh'd,
The more her golden locks she drew—
The more she pray'd—the ruddy life's blood.
The faster and faster came trickling through:—
On a sadder sight ne'er look'd the moon
That o'er the green mountain came gleaming down.
'He lay with his sword in the pale moonlight;
All mute and pale she lay at his side—
He, sheath'd in mail from brow to heel—
She, in her maiden bloom and pride:
And their beds were made, and the lovers were laid,
All under the gentle holly's shade.
'May that Selby's right hand wither and rot,
That fails with flowers their bed to strew!
May a foreign grave be his who doth rend
Away the shade of the holly bough!—
But let them sleep by the gentle river,
And waken in love that shall last for ever.'
We find our old friend 'Richard Faulder, mariner,'
to whom we were introduced in the volume of poems by Mr. C., which
we noticed some months ago, again making his appearance in the work
before us. In his maritime legends, the author's fancy runs
riot with peculiar luxuriancy, and a spectre-shallop in the Solway
appears to have greater charms [251/252] for him than even the Benshees,
Brownies, and Dobbies of his native vallies. 'The last Lord
of Helvellyn' is a striking and powerful tale of this kind:
—but the superstitions of our mariners are quite strong enough,
without the additional authority of Mr. Allan Cunningham and Mr.
Washington Irving to confirm them; whose stories of airy ships and
ghostly sailors are sufficient to terrify many a stripling 'from
his propriety.'
All these tales, excepting one, have appeared in the London

Ironwood's Comprehensive Plan will guide the community for the next decade as it continues to respond to demographic shifts and build on recent successes. The Comprehensive Plan will establish a vision for what the community seeks to be in the future, and how this vision will be achieved. The current Ironwood Plan was adopted in 1982, and has become dated. A new plan and vision will be established, and it will reflect the goals of the community while addressing Ironwood's housing and infrastructure, streets and sidewalks, existing and future parks and trails, and the vitality of downtown. The plan will build off of previous efforts such as the Downtown Blueprint and the Park & Recreation Plan. The process of developing the updated plan is a community-wide effort, and includes numerous opportunities for community members to view information, brainstorm, provide insights, and leave comments in face-to-face meetings and electronic formats.
On July 2nd, The Planning Commision will consider approving the Comprehensive Plan.
In preparation for that meeting, the City has posted the draft plan online for public review. Click here to view the Ironwood Comprehensive Plan draft. Click here to submit feedback and comments.
The public comment period will be open through the July 2nd public hearing. We encourage you to submit comments at least a week prior to July 2nd, so we have time to summarize your feedback in advance of the hearing.

The kindergarten occupies a unique place in our school. It culminates the early childhood cycle, bringing to fruition the skills and capacities the children have been developing throughout their early years. At the same time, the kindergarten serves as the gateway into the grade school, and much of the work of kindergarten is directed towards the developments necessary for first grade readiness.
San Francisco Waldorf School has three kindergarten classes for children between the ages of 4-½ and 6-½ years old. Kindergarten starts at 8:30 every weekday morning and runs until 1pm in the afternoon. A kindergarten specific After Care is available until 5:30 pm.
Each class is led by a Master Teacher and a Waldorf-trained assistant or apprentice. Because the kindergarten is a two-year program, each class is comprised of half new "first year" children and half returning "second year" children. The activities in each class take into account the changing developmental needs of the first and second year child, as well as the individual child's needs and abilities.
In the kindergarten the emphasis is on learning through doing. The children are active in work and play, song and movement. In a rhythmic, warm and homelike environment, the children learn through imitation, purposeful play, storytelling, domestic and artistic activities. These activities nurture and challenge the child's will, develop healthy habits and refine social skills. The child's natural curiosity and creativity are encouraged and engaged. Thinking capacities and memory forces are helped to develop and become strong. The overall well-being of each child is tended with attention and care.

Thai Furniture:Alongside Bali, Thailand has become a top destination for those looking for custom made and pre-made furniture. Both rattan and rosewood are particularly popular, as are antique pieces. At the MBK Center in Bangkok and at various locations around Chiang Mai, Thai furniture can be purchased or custom ordered by dealers knowledgeable in shipping such products overseas. For more distinctly Thai styles and more reasonable prices, furniture shoppers need to travel to more remote provinces, such as Tak.Thai Ceramics:Thai ceramics, both uniquely Thai in origin and of Chinese influence, have long been a part of Thai artistic culture.

In the span of a year, the Detroit Lions have gone from everyone's under-the-radar pick to make the playoffs to the team most likely to take a step back.
Some of that is because of hubris. An off-season marred by seven arrests left many, including ownership, fuming, and while teams such as the NFC North rival Bears upgraded their talent at key positions this offseason, the Lions mostly stood pat with 21 returning starters and gaping holes in the secondary.
Some is history. Since 1996, at least five new teams have made the playoffs every year, and teams that have gone from losing records to 10-plus-win seasons -- like the Lions of 2011 -- almost always regress the following fall.
Still, when Sports Illustrated asked nine of its experts to predict the season last week, none put the Lions in the playoffs, a slight that, when brought to his attention, prompted receiver Nate Burleson to say in mock disbelief, "What? Who are these experts? I'm going to find out their names."
"I can sit here and tell you what my goal is, but at the end of the day it's not going to matter and neither is the words of the experts," Burleson said. "What's going to matter is what we do during the season. We know we're a good team, but to be honest I hope we keep getting pushed down and looked over and talked about poorly cause that's when we play our best.
"The more bullets that people fire back at us, the more we fire back.
For all the skepticism about them this fall, some would argue that the Lions enter Sunday's season opener against the St. Louis Rams built to be playoff contenders for years to come.
In Calvin Johnson, they have the single most explosive offensive weapon in the game. In Matthew Stafford, they have the cornerstone young quarterback every team desires. And on defense, despite injury and talent concerns in the back end, they're following the same pass rush-first blueprint that helped the Giants win two of the last five Super Bowls.
"This isn't a flash in the pan," said NFL Network analyst Charley Casserly, the former general manager of the Houston Texans. "Whether they make the playoffs or not to me doesn't matter because they're on their way."
Returning to the playoffs matters plenty to the Lions, who haven't had consecutive postseason appearances since 1994-95. And although they try not to say as much publicly, inside the locker room the belief is they can be special this year.
Burleson played his first five NFL seasons on teams in Minnesota and Seattle that never won fewer than eight games but never made much of a dent in the playoffs.
He doesn't want the same thing to happen with the Lions.
"I've been on mediocre teams, I've been on teams that were destined to be in the Super Bowl and didn't make it," Burleson said. "Right now we have the pieces to the puzzle, but it's nothing if we don't take advantage of it. Don't let a year go by, then two, three years from now, you look back and say that team I had was really good, cause that's what I say about a couple of teams that I've been on. Guys just have to understand how special this group is and how much talent we really do have."
Linebacker Stephen Tulloch played on similarly underachieving teams in Tennessee. The Titans, with Lions coach Jim Schwartz as their defensive coordinator and Rams coach Jeff Fisher as their head coach, went from 8 to 10 to 13 wins in 2006-08 but never won a playoff game.
By the time Tulloch left after the 2010 season, the Titans were back below .500.
Even Jason Hanson, now in his 21st season with the Lions, has been around long enough to experience the what-if days in Detroit.
Drafted in 1992, the spring after the Lions' last playoff victory, Hanson kicked for teams that made three straight postseason appearances before regression set in.
These Lions are better built for long-term success, he said, and, despite their mountain of doubters, in position to make this year one to remember, too.
"There were a lot of years we worked hard, but if you just aren't talented enough -- and I say that humbly as a kicker, I'm just looking at it from the outside -- but we have the talent to back up our hard work now, and in the right spots in key positions," Hanson said. "So we've got a chance. I feel like that's what people think, it's just a chance and we have to go out and take it."

These Virtual Rocks Look Damn Good
Rocks are everywhere in video games. They sit by roads, roll around as debris, make up whole rooms, or even sometimes star in their own games—they're pretty important! So really, it's no wonder there's a whole, pages-long forum thread dedicated to crafting and sharing the prettiest 3D rocks. »

Charlie Sheen is about to be the highest paid sitcom star
CBS knows what it has on its hands; that's why it chipped in to make show star Charlie Sheen the highest paid sitcom actor currently on the air. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Sheen is ready to sign a contract that will pay him between $350,000 - $400,000 per episode, which is twice what he was making before. A network contribution, according to the article, has become common in such high-profile negotiations. No word, though, on if the other one and a half men on the show -- Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones -- got raises, too. I definitely think Jones should get a big raise; he may just be telling fart jokes, but he's doing it with conviction.

NEW YORK – strictly old school
What else is there new to say about good old New York City? The architecture, the art, the people, the attitude; we know all about that. But maybe there's one things that isn't so apparent and of which I'm becoming increasingly aware. It's the genuine 'old-school' nature of the place.
When I talk of 'old school' I don't mean 'old-school-as-appropriated-by-the- new school', (think P-Diddy) or even 'old-school-as seen-through-rose-tinted-spectacles' (think of Scorsese) I mean 'old-school-old-school' – as in behaving in a way out of kilter with our contemporary experiences.
In many ways New York is locked in the past. I was a little surprising when I first realized New York is quite an innocent place. By reputation those two words don't seem to go together, but that's what I conclude.
Madison Avenue is certainly old school. Forget Mad Men. The 1950's midtown advertising scene is alive and well in 2010. On warm July mornings you can still see the occasional advertising exec, in his crisp seersucker suit passing through the gilded lobbies of a grand old agency. Even I got to wearing a straw trilby to work one summer.
Of course, New Yorkers have an attitude. Don't expect them to put themselves out for you. You're probably not going to have a door held open and if you want directions you're more likely to get a vague wave than a stop and chat. But don't be fooled. I got to understand this coolness was less about being rude and more to do with New Yorkers being lost in their own little worlds. No wonder so many movies have been shot in NYC. Every morning 8 million personal movies are played out in the heads of its citizens on their way to work. The central character in the plot played convincingly by the shmo standing next to you in the subway. iPods have done nothing to help.
That bluntness is strictly old-school: no malice intended. You can see this whenever the personal reverie is broken. The sight of a stroller-pushing mother struggling down a subway staircase (virtually no working elevators note) will wake a dozen bystanders from their internal dialogues. These suddenly animated volunteers will including old folk, kids and even other mothers with strollers. Once called to action, no task is too big or onerous.
This response to others is far more direct and simple than in most European cultures, which tend to be laced with cynicism. That's why American gossip magazines are so much less cutting (or fun) than their UK counterparts. New Yorkers really don't do schadenfreude. They can be catty and cruel, but they can't muster much energy for it. Too engaged in trying to succeed for themselves to get involved in someone else's failure.
And there's a very real and genuine pleasure they get from seeing others enjoying themselves. Having children can be a liability. When we first moved to Manhattan our four-year-old was freaked out by the number of gushing strangers who'd comment on his rosy cheeks, his 'tow head' or his sheer all-over ooby-gooby cuteness and I'm not just talking about spinsters of a certain age. You can add 5 minutes to a short walk from the subway, thanks to the policeman, the hotel concierge and the lady at the stop light wanting to bend down and ask him how's life and where'd he get his hair – followed by an unwanted rub.
All of these simple exchanges take place in, or perhaps because of, a New York City that's a surprisingly creaky and run-down. There are big holes in the roads, the public amenities seem always on the verge of collapse and so many of the buildings look like they're falling down.
Let's face it, this town is physically beautiful but it was largely built in another time, pretty much between 1935 and 1965. The same could be said of the characters who live here. In stark contrast to London, this isn't a deconstructed environment and these aren't post-modern people. It isn't complicated. It's all out in the open. WYSIWYG.
So, on reflection, if someone was asking me to say something new about New York I'd have to say my most lasting impression of the City isn't its architecture or art or even that famous New York attitude. It's the innocence; the out-and-out openness of its people; a lack of guile. A genuineness. And it's in this respect, rather than anything physical or stylized that New York is genuine old school.

From a seemingly impossible position on the home turn to a similarly improbable proposition at the 200 metres, top-class filly Guelph has somehow snatched a last-ditch victory in Saturday's Group One Champagne Stakes (1600m) at Randwick.
On an afternoon when short-priced favourites It's A Dundeel and Toydini had their colours lowered, Guelph looked set to follow suite when she was shuffled well back in a strung-out field.
Even trainer Peter Snowden had given up on her when leader Fuerza skipped away and kicked strongly.
"We had intended to be in the first half a dozen and she got a mile back," Snowden said.
"I thought it was too much to do, especially when the leader kicked and it was just going to be a sprint home for the last 600 metres.
"She started to tack up well to the furlong, but I thought she had too much more to do. But she was good enough to do it."
Guelph's victory added a bright spot to an otherwise difficult week for Darley's Sheikh Mohammed.
His Godolphin operation has been rocked by an eight-year ban handed down to one of its English trainers, Mahmood al-Zarooni, for administering horses with anabolic steroids.
It also cemented Guelph as one of the best of her generation after she finished a fine fourth in the Golden Slipper and produced a powerhouse performance to win the Sires' Produce Stakes.
Snowden said Guelph had done an outstanding job to cope with a Blue Diamond campaign and the rigours of the Sydney two-year-old triple crown.
"What she's done shows what she's made of," he said.
"It's testament to her ability and her toughness and she's right up there with the best of them this season."
Guelph ($2.50 fav) arrived in the final stride to beat Fuerza ($26) by the barest possible margin of a nose, foiling what was a brilliant tactical ride by Jim Cassidy on the runner-up.
"I tried something different and I nearly pulled it off," Cassidy said.
In a close finish, Equator ($20) was another short neck away third.
Darley has now won three of the past four runnings of the Champagne Stakes following victories by Skilled (2010) and Helmet (2011).

Nkhata Bay — About 489 families in Nkhata Bay District have been rendered homeless following damage of their houses due to heavy rains which have been falling for the past four days.
The district's Assistant District Disaster Risk Management Officer (ADDRIMO), Oswel Mkandawire, said four traditional authorities have been badly affected, especially those along Limphasa and Lweya rivers which were flooded due to prolonged rains.
"In TA Timbiri, we have recorded 117 homeless families while in TA Fukamalaza 30 families have been affected. In Senior Chief Mkumbira 208 houses have been damaged," Mkandawire explained, adding that 134 families in TA Mankhambira are also homeless following damage of their houses.
Meanwhile, 47 families are camping at Chikale Primary School after their houses completely got damaged.
Statistics relating to crop damage were not available as Mkandawire's office and that of Agriculture had not done assessment due to high water levels in the affected areas.
"We are yet to assess crops that have been damaged because we are waiting for the water level to be low so that the assessment can be carried out smoothly," Mkandawire said.
He has since appealed to individuals, companies and other well wishers to come in and assist the victims.
On her part, Village Headwoman Timbiri, whose area has been seriously affected, said all the crops they were expecting to harvest in few weeks to come, have been damaged and washed away by the heavy rains.
"The wetland at Limphasa River is fertile and most farmers rely on this wetland as it even feeds people in Mzuzu. To us it is a big blow as we have lost food that we thought we would rely on," Village headman Timbiri said.
The Village Headwoman, whose real name is Jane Mwase, then called on well-wishers and government to come in quickly and assist the affected families.
Nkhata Bay District is amongst the most disaster-prone districts in the country.

More Friends on 30 Rock: Jennifer Aniston to guest star this season
The rumors floating around have turned out to be true: the ex-Friends star is going to make a guest appearance on NBC's 30 Rock this season. In fact, she's filming the episode as I type this. Well, maybe not that sentence, but even as I type ... this.
Now comes the endless speculation on what part she'll play. Could she be a new girlfriend for Jack Donaghy? Or maybe a new cast member brought on TGS with Tracy Jordan that becomes a rival to Jenna? How about an old friend of Tina Fey's that moves to New York and causes trouble for her in some way? I think the biggest twist would be if Aniston actually became a regular on the show, but I don't see that happening.
Of course, why not just have her be Rachel Green (sorry, it must be Rachel Geller by now)? She could be brought on TGS as a fashion/make-up person.

A full decade since their formation, Orange County, California's Atreyu are just as subversive, unrelenting and unpredictable as they were when they first started. Congregation Of The Damned, their fifth album, is a testament to the inexhaustible power of heavy music and the unquenchable flame of five musicians determined to build a distinct sonic landscape entirely on their own terms. "This album is us stepping forward to new territory but taking with us the best of where we've been," explains drummer/vocalist Brandon Saller. "It really is the culmination of a ten year career."
Not only have Atreyu been fueled by their passion, they've been motivated by their determination to point out the ugliness they've witnessed all around them. This album contains some of the band's darkest, most political material to date. "Our leaders have screwed us," explains vocalist Alex Varkatzas. "We've started wars, we're in a recession and we're trying to fistfuck other countries into oblivion. America's getting by on doing a lot of things in the name of God. George Bush got away with a lot of shit by throwing Jesus into the mix: 'God wants me to do this'. So instead of being a beautiful church congregation, we're a congregation of the damned. We're in such a scary place right now, I've never felt this sense of tension before - and that's in the music."
Entering the studio with producer Bob Marlette (Ozzy Osbourne, Seether), Atreyu were determined to prove themselves more than ever. Songs like Ravenous and You Were the King Now You're Unconscious are furious and frightening, the sonic din of young adults coming to terms with the idea that they might have sold themselves short while their generation was foundering in a universal identity crisis. Whether or not that was the case, "In the past I'd had my head up my ass," Varkatzas admits. "But with Congregation Of The Damned I've focused myself and driven harder for what I want. We've brought back a bit of the old Atreyu: shredding, screaming and breakdowns."
True, the trenchant elements of old are back, but they're combined with stronger songwriting and flourishes that keep Atreyu sounding utterly captivating. Insatiable is powered by a harmony-filled refrain that reflects guitarist Dan Jacobs' penchant for powerhouse '80s metal bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Motley Crue. Black Days Begin features a southern groove-chug informed by the guys' love for Pantera, and Wait For You is a piano and strings-laden love ballad that reveals an entirely new side of the band.
The contagious first single, Storm The Pass, is simultaneously about Varkatzas' psychological turmoil and the volatile state of the world on the brink of annihilation. It builds from an acoustic intro into a steadily chug of buzzing guitars that climax in a triumphant chorus. "I wrote it from two angles at once so it would impact different people in different ways," the vocalist explains. "I have a tendency to get either super depressed or super pissed off. I can see it coming and I can feel it building and it's like watching clouds or thunder heads rolling off the beach onto an island and just destroying it. And at the same time it's about how you can see wars or conflicts forming, like Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom, what's going on in North Korea or what could be going on in Pakistan or Iran. You feel this tension building, this storm, this malice, and it's like a never-ending cycle and it can destroy us all." Look out for a video soon, shot with director Sean Stiegemeier.
Some of the songs aren't political at all. Gallows -- which features the line, "Like the loser I am / I can't help but to see / That success scares the living shit out of me" – is about personal insecurity and self-doubt, and having the tenacity to break through the fear. "I'm honestly not sure what scares me more," Varkatzas admits. "That's a lot for people to grasp. Am I not giving it my all? Have I pulled back in the past because I feared failing on my own? Or am I just not good enough? But we're all human and that's how we learn: it builds heart and character. Tenacity has got me where I am, not talent. Whether that alienates people or makes me look stupid... I can't help it." Fans can get a sneak peek of this track from Oct 13 when the band launch a new game on their website. The third in a series of Atreyu games designed by Jason Oda, it's influenced by George Romero's classic movie Night Of The Living Dead. Players battle a variety of zombies – some of whom resemble powerful political figures – in an attempt to stay alive. Have you got what it takes…? Meanwhile, visit www.atreyurock.com to watch special behind-the-album webisodes filmed by the band.

The bill, called the Turkey Christian Churches Accountability Act, passed the House Committee on Foreign Affairs last week. Although the bill has several more steps to go, including getting on the schedule to be reviewed by the full House of Representatives, Armenian community leaders are inspired by its progress, tying it to a larger fight for recognition of the Armenian Genocide of 1915-18 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks.
Although American government officials have individually recognized the genocide, American presidents and Turkish leaders have not. Hovannisian said the bill was a welcome sign as Armenians worldwide will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the genocide next year.
Turkish authorities, though, denounced the bill.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry lashed out last week, condemning the bill in a statement for its "groundless criticism, false information and baseless accusations on the situation of Christian heritage in Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus."
The statement goes on to describe bill proponents as "anti-Turkish circles in the U.S. Congress" and no matter how far it goes, it is "null and void as far as Turkey is concerned."
It's not unusual for Congress to pass a bill requesting action from another nation that may be adverse to the initiative, Hovannisian said.
According to the bill, introduced by Rep. Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) and Rep. Eliot Engel (D-New York), Christian communities have faced many obstacles to regain control over stolen and confiscated properties, some of which have been destroyed or converted into mosques, storage facilities or museums. Although Turkish authorities have worked to return some properties in the past, there is more to be done, the bill states.
In addition to the Armenian Bar Assn., Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian, prelate of the Armenian Apostolic Church of America Western Prelacy headquartered in La Crescenta, Rev. Joseph Matossian, minister to the Armenian Evangelical United of North America based in Glendale, Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, primate of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America located in Burbank and the Armenian National Committee of America supported the bill.
"With profound thanks and gratitude we salute this righteous and bold decision by the House Foreign Affairs Committee," Mardirossian said in a statement Thursday. "With hopeful anticipation we look forward to the day when our sacred properties are returned to their rightful owners and all religious and ethnic minorities can live in peace without threat of persecution."
Matossian echoed his optimism.
"It's not a show. Hopefully it will proceed, but it needs to be pursued. Perseverance is important, focusing on the issue is important and marching forward," he said. "I believe in going all the way. You just don't start the match or tournament or something just to stop as it gets a little tough."

I step onto the tarmac at Easter Island's minuscule airport, holding a copy of "The Separate Rose" by Pablo Neruda in my hand. Shortly before his death 40 years ago, the Chilean poet visited Easter Island and wrote this slim volume of bittersweet ruminations on travel and mortality.
As the American, Chilean, European and Japanese passengers from the plane funnel into the one-story airport terminal here, I recall the words that I've just read on the five-hour flight from mainland Chile: "We all arrive by different streets / by unequal languages, at Silence."

[VIDEOS] Happy Birthday To The Ne-Yo You May Not Know
October 18, 2011 8:33 PM
Back when [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Ne-Yo[/lastfm] was Shaffer Smith – he actually embarked on a recording career as that. An effort that was met with a thud.
But that didn't stop young Shaffer, who stepped back into the studio and penned a best-selling ballad for [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Mario[/lastfm], eventually writing his way back into the music business. And the spotlight.
In fact, even though he is now four albums into his solo career – with three Grammy wins – he may still have had even bigger success, so far, as a songwriter. As Ne-Yo celebrates his 30th birthday today, let's take a look back at some of the hits for other artists that he counts amoung his credits…

Thales Unveils Three New Magellan eXplorist Palm-Size GPS Handhelds
Thales continues to rewrite the rulebook for handheld GPS when it announced Wednesday the CES debut of three additions to its breakthrough Magellan eXplorist line of compact, powerful, yet easy-to-use receivers.
Complete with built-in mapping, the Magellan eXplorist 400, eXplorist 500 and eXplorist 600 are the first handheld GPS receivers to deliver PC-like file management, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and a PC application designed specifically for transferring geocache information from the Internet to the eXplorist for the popular web-based outdoor activity called geocaching.
These new eXplorist handhelds represent the definitive GPS guidance solution to meet the more diverse navigation needs of today's consumer - both in the city and the outdoors.
The complete Magellan eXplorist line of six receivers delivers more advanced features, more powerful performance, and more value than the competition, from just $99.99 to $449.99.
"In addition to offering the sought after features that have boosted the popularity of the Magellan eXplorist 100, 200 and 300 thus far," said Christian Bubenheim, vice president and general manager for Thales' consumer products.
"The eXplorist 400, 500, and 600 introduce an all-new advanced set of features to the series, including being the first in their class to deliver unlimited SD card memory expansion with a built-in SD card reader/writer."
"The new handhelds also provide unlimited storage of waypoints, routes and track logs when using an optional Secure Digital memory card so that any available memory can be used to store whatever the users wants - a first in storage options that avid navigators will appreciate over limited waypoint, route and track log storage on other GPS receivers."
Other firsts found in the eXplorist 400, 500 and 600 include:
While the eXplorist handhelds offer a variety of features to provide a complete set of solutions, all deliver a compact, waterproof housing IPX-7 at a weight of less than four ounces for fit-in-your-pocket convenience; a large 2.3" diagonal display; built-in maps of major roads, waterways, parks and airports; the ability to calculate vertical profiles for elevations of roads, trails and more; and a WAAS/EGNOS-enabled, 14-parallel-channel GPS receiver that delivers three-meter accuracy with fast, reliable position fixes.
The Magellan eXplorist 400, 500 and 600 are compatible with most Magellan MapSend software products for adding street detail, topographic data, marine navigation information and more, including the MapSend Topo 3D USA, MapSend Topo Canada and MapSend Lakes USA, MapSend Worldwide Basemap and MapSend DirectRoute, plus international titles. Other optional accessories include carrying cases, power adaptors, and mounting options for bikes, vehicles and more.

The Cricketer is delighted to unveil Yorkshire Tea as the 2012 sponsor of the National Village Cup, which will be known as the Yorkshire Tea Village Cup.
The Harrogate-based family tea merchants join a proud list of former sponsors that include npower, Alliance & Leicester and most recently Persimmon. Brand Manager Kevin Sinfield was pleased to add Yorkshire Tea to the competition's illustrious roll call of commercial partners.
He said: "Every cricketer knows you can't have a proper cricket match without a proper cricket tea, so Yorkshire Tea is very proud to be sponsoring the 2012 National Village Cup.
"We can't wait to see how the tournament unfolds and we'll be making sure all the teams taking part have the opportunity to enjoy a proper brew. The battle to reach Lord's is going to be thrilling and we are delighted to offer village cricketers the chance of a lifetime to play at the home of cricket."
"We've had a connection with the game since the day cricketers first appeared on our packs over 30 years ago. These are really exciting times for cricket and now is the perfect time to deepen our involvement with clubs across the country."
Now in its 40th year, the summer-long knockout tournament offers cricketing minnows the chance to compete in a nationwide competition that culminates in a September showpiece final at Lord's. It is the only sporting event in the world that provides such a genuine Roy of the Rovers experience for its 3,500 likely participants.
Magazine Editor Andrew Miller – an active cricketer himself – summed up the new partnership within its widest cricketing context. "Most club cricketers tend to judge their opponents by the quality of the tea they lay on. And seeing as a strong Yorkshire is a strong England, I can't think of any alliance that will better serve such an invaluable part of the English summer."
Publishing Director Andy Afford was also thrilled to secure the support of the company whose mandate is to create a 'proper' brew. "All through the negotiation, we felt that the brands were a perfect fit. There's always a good reason for the tea urn to be on at a cricket match and we are excited to be activating the sponsorship for the Yorkshire Tea Village Cup with Kevin and his fantastic team."
The last word belongs to Mike Cassidy, the captain of 2011 champions Woodhouses CC, who said: "It's a fantastic competition with a dream prize – to take your own club to play at Lord's. We were based in the England dressing room and were looked after like kings. Lifting the trophy was incredible but I've also got to mention the food – it was the best cricket tea I've ever had. I'm normally a sandwich and cup of tea man – but with sea bass, roast beef and then homemade Bakewell tart on offer, I couldn't turn it down!"
The competition starts on April 22 and is entered by approximately 300 village cricket clubs from England, Scotland and Wales with teams competing in 32 regional groups. The group winners enter a national draw that culminates in a final at the Home of Cricket on September 9.

Editor's Notes
Launched in 1971 by The Cricketer, the world's biggest-selling cricket magazine, the National Village Cup is still run by staff on the title. In 2011 the winner was Woodhouses CC from Lancashire, the club where Mike Atherton played as a teenager. This year, to commemorate the 40th anniversary, the MCC will be hosting a gala dinner in the Long Room for finalists, sponsors, officials and guests.
The Cricketer magazine, thecricketer.com website and Test Match Sofa are owned by TestMatchExtra.Com Ltd.

President's Page
Hank Wynn - Class of 2013
PRESIDENT: Elected May 6, 2012
As the SIGIO president for 2012-2013, I would like to extend my welcome and enthusiasm to UT medical students looking to learn more about ophthalmology. I have had an interest in ophthalmology since the beginning of medical school, but it was not until the middle part of my third year that I firmly decided to pursue the specialty. I can now say that the more I learn about the field, the more involved I want to become, and I am excited to be in a position to share my interest with other students who are still in the process of specialty exploration.
On August 15th with a table at Organization Day and a follow-up meeting the next evening, we will begin our quarterly interest group meetings. These evening sessions are an opportunity to hear talks from faculty members on topics like Why Ophthalmology? as well as a chance to interact with other students interested in the specialty.
The interest group continues to be involved with various service projects including VisionWalk and an ever-increasing number of community glaucoma screenings. These screenings are an excellent way to both serve our communitys medical needs and gain experience with some of ophthalmologys basic examination techniques, and we are always looking for volunteers.
I am excited about the upcoming year, and I ask anyone interested in learning more about ophthalmology to keep an eye out for our meetings and screening events. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the specialty, and I am happy to answer questions about finding clinical experience and research opportunities.
Serving with me as vice president is John Prenshaw.

- Europe wins Solheim Cup over U.S. after record-setting day in Colorado
- Solheim Cup a "fabulous showcase" for girls at Colorado Golf Club
- Team USA finds itself in deep hole on home soil entering Sunday singles matches
PARKER — Although it would take the greatest comeback in Solheim Cup history for the United States team to overcome its 10½-5½ deficit heading into Sunday's 12 singles matches, the European team isn't popping champagne corks just yet.
"We still have to focus on everyone getting their points," Caroline Hedwall said following her team's 4-0 sweep in Saturday afternoon fourball play. "If we do that we should take it home, but still you know that they're going to play great (Sunday)."
Said captain Liselotte Neumann: "We'll go out and celebrate a little bit here. ... But stranger things have happened. So we just really got to focus back and just try to do the same thing (Sunday). Go out and win every match."
If the Europeans get enough points to retain the Cup early in Sunday's matches, all the groups still will get played out.
The U.S. trailed Europe 9-7 heading into singles play in the 2002 matches in Edina, Minn., before rallying for a 15½-12½ victory. Meg Mallon scored a point for her team that day, when American captain Patty Sheehan stacked four of her toughest players — Mallon, Pat Hurst, Beth Daniel and Rosie Jones — at the bottom of her lineup.
Now the captain of the U.S. team, Mallon can't afford to do that, instead needing to send her strongest players out first in order to try to wrest the momentum away from the Europeans.
With the Americans sending out Stacy Lewis, Paula Creamer, Brittany Lang and Morgan Pressel at the start, Mallon expressed confidence that the U.S. could dig out of its sizable hole.
"I like my lineup, and I love my team," she said. "I know they're upset and motivated ... but looking at the pairings, I like this a lot."

Vatican unwilling to accept Obama ambassadors?
Catholic World News - April 03, 2009
An Italian journalist reports that the Vatican has quietly rejected three names put forward by the White House to fill the post of US ambassador to the Vatican. Mary Ann Glendon, the Bush administration ambassador, resigned the post in January when President Obama was inaugurated. The Vatican has, in the past, established a policy of declining to accept ambassadors who are Catholic but not in good standing with the Church.
