9/11 families' fury after two British students WIN fancy dress competition wearing TWIN TOWERS outfits (and one of them is daughter of pilot who flew in US on day of terror attacks)
- Amber Langford and Annie Collinge, 19, dressed as World Trade Center
- Costumes showed blazing towers and victims jumping from windows
- They won a £150 prize for 'best dressed' at Halloween club night in Chester
- Miss Langford's father Martin was a pilot who used to work in America
- Mother of British 9/11 victim says: 'It's hard to understand'
Two female students have outraged the families of 9/11 victims by entering a nightclub fancy dress competition dressed as the Twin Towers being hit by planes.
Amber Langford and Annie Collinge, both 19, won the contest and a £150 prize at a Chester nightclub despite lampooning the worst terrorist attack in modern history.
Today, families of those who lost loved ones in the New York terror attack said that they found the costumes distressing.
Patricia Bingley, 79, whose 43-year-old son Kevin Dennis died in the atrocity said: 'It's hard to understand where they've come from to do this.'
Mr Dennis was working as a bond trader on the 101st floor of the North Tower when a plane struck the skyscraper on September 11, 2001.

Their actions have also enraged Miss Langford's father Martin, a pilot who was working in the US for United Express on the day Al Qaeda brought down the World Trade Center and killed 2,996 people, including 67 Britons.
'I didn't know anything about it, but I'm not happy at all,' the retired pilot, who now lives in Anglesey, told The Sun.
'She knows I'm a pilot and that's not cool at all. We will be having a little chat, I think.'
Miss Langford, who is studying biology at the University of Chester,
and Miss Collinge, a criminology student, wore the outfits to a Halloween event at Rosies nightclub last Thursday evening.

They had modelled their costumes on the North and South Tower wreathed in flames and with victims jumping from windows. Both women also wore hats topped with the wreckage of the planes and U.S. flags.
The widow of a 9/11 victim living near Chester said she was 'angry and disgusted' at the girls' outfit and suggested that they were ignorant about the true horror of the terror attack.
Liz Gilligan, whose husband Ron was working in the World Trade Center at the time of the atrocity, told the Chester Chronicle: 'I can't begin to tell you how angry and disgusted I am.
'These girls and Rosie's need to be made aware that 9/11 was very real and while it was 3,000 miles away, it affected people on their doorstep.'
Some clubbers were so disgusted that they tried to complain to management.
'I was completely outraged,' said 20-year-old George Borsberry. 'Not only were they labelled the "best dressed", but they were also given £150 to dress up in this way and mock the victims and the families of the victims.
'We asked to see the manager to complain and was turned down due to him being "too busy" to see us.
waiting two and a half hours to see the person who decided this
dreadful winner all we got was, "Sorry but it was a good costume."
'He then had the audacity to say there were people in other disgusting costumes such as Jimmy Savile, as if to justify that it was alright to dress like that.'
Others took to the club's Facebook page to vent their anger about the decision to give the teenagers a prize for their outfits.
Ashley Goodall wrote: 'That's not even Halloween that's just a very bad joke, not like you'd walk around America like that.'
Millie Robinson tweeted: 'Can not actually believe that some people went as the Twin Towers blowing up on Halloween.'

Students: Miss Langford, left, and Miss Collinge, centre and right, are both studying at the University of Chester
Pilot: Miss Langford's father Martin, who was flying in the U.S. on 9/11, said he was 'not happy'
John Feal, founder of the FealGood Foundation which supports 9/11 victims' families, told The Sun: 'The insensitivity level for this act of ignorance is topped by none.
'As for the nightclub who allowed it, sponsored it and endorsed it, shame on you.'
pair at the centre of the storm said last night: 'We never meant to be
offensive, but we apologise if any offence was caused.
'The idea was to depict a modern-day horror that happened in our lifetime and was not intended as a joke.'
The University of Chester and Chester Students' Union said in a statement: 'We utterly condemn the appalling photos.
'Both organisations have begun an urgent investigation with a view to taking the necessary action.'
American political commentator Charlie Wolf, a right-wing broadcaster who has used to present a regular show on TalkSPORT, called the outfits 'shameful and disgusting'.
Sarah Rappaport, an American TV
producer working for CNBC in London, tweeted: 'Don't get how anyone could think
dressing as the Twin Towers for a party woul be remotely okay or
Another American, commenting on a news story about the costumes, wrote: 'Just sickening. They owe all the families an apology. And our country.'
Home: Miss Langford lives with her family at this house in Menai Bridge, Anglesey
Miss Langford is from Menai Bridge, a small town on Anglesey, where she lives with her pilot father, her mother Marion and sister Freya, 22, a student at the University of Derby.
Their family home has three garages and a large garden overlooking the Anglesey countryside.
Collinge was brought up on a dairy farm in Clitheroe, Lancashire, with
her father Bryan, mother Carol, sister Katie, 22, and 24-year-old
brother Tom.
She is vice-president of the university 'People and Planet Society', which says it is aimed at students who 'want to make a positive difference to the world they're living in'.
Apology: The company which owns Rosies said it was 'extremely concerned' about the competition
Atrocity: Thousands died when terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001
A spokesman for the Stonegate Pub
Company, which runs Rosies, said: 'We are extremely concerned that an
award of vouchers was made to two young women who were dressed in a
distasteful and offensive manner.
was a serious error of judgement made on the evening by a contracted DJ
to award such a prize and we apologise to anybody who may have been
upset or offended by this.
'A full investigation by the company is taking place.'

Super Bowl 2014 Commercials: Bill Rancic Is Giving One Startup The Chance Of A Lifetime
Bill Rancic was made famous when he won the first season of Donald Trump's 'The Apprentice' and currently leads a successful "hybrid" life between his two passions for business and entertainment. Now Rancic is looking to give back a little by helping a few lucky small businesses get a very bid leg up. The star has now teamed up with Intuit for a unique contest- Small Business Big Game.
He's doing that by teaming up with Intuit Quickbooks and their Small Business Big Game contest. The competition is a search for a unique and innovative small business to showcase. The prize: a Super Bowl commercial.
The competition has been whittled down to 4 finalists after 15,000 small businesses entered for their chance to advertise in the most expensive ad space in the world, an unprecedented opportunity to be showcased among the likes of Pepsi, Budweiser and Doritos.
Rancic sat down with IBTimesTV to discuss how this contest is run and why he was attracted to the project. He also told us that, regardless of who wins, this contest has already exposed these four small businesses and given them a national platform. The businesses include a company that sells poop, an educational toy for girls, barley dog treats and a healthy egg farm.
Now the voting is up to you America, as the contest has launched an online voting system where the winner will be chosen. To vote for your favorite, visit www.smallbusinessbiggame.com

I feel guilty about it but I cant do it another day!
How do I end this to I slowly stop nursing or just go cold turkey?
I bought so much sh*t for BF too what a waste! I feel like a failure but I need relief.

oh sweety your not a failure. it happens. sorry i dont know the whole story but if your not making enough milk i would just go cold turkey, if you enjoy it and are making enough but its the nipples or something like that go slowly.
i felt bad because DS wouldnt latch, im now figuring out its not just my breast he wouldnt latch to, i didnt realize the fight i put up for him to latch to the bottle either until his dear uncle (my brother) pointed it out yesterday while feeding him in the vehicle.
you have to ultimately do whats best for you and baby. can you take the BFing stuff back? if not, do you have a friend that is due sometime this year or what ever and is planning to BF that you could pass it down to?

First off you are NOT A FAILURE!!! You tried and that's important!!! Failure would be keeping it up and being miserable!! Like you said you need to be able to enjoy your baby not be upset about BF. What problems are you having? If low supply and even if NOT with low supply you can just stop..you will probably get engorged but you can wear a nice tight sports bra and maybe use cabbage leaves and that should dry you up pretty quickly. I think its up to you as to whether to wean to a stop or just stop..if you are that miserable I say just stop!! And don't worry about it you did a GREAT JOB!! Believe me I hear your pain..its definitely not easy and the baby makes a difference..some just latch GREAT and others don't.

One of my most favourite fashion terms is passementerie.

The English equivalent is the equally delightful 'haberdashery'. This week's Wedding Dress is a… Read more »

Chicken soup is good for the soul, they say. It might also be good for the core body temperature of Coastal Carolina football players this weekend.
WHO: Coastal Carolina (11-2) at No. 8 Montana (10-2)
WHEN: 2 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Washington-Grizzly Stadium, Missoula, Montana
WHO: Furman (8-5) at No. 1 North Dakota State (11-0)
WHEN: 3:30 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: Fargodome, Fargo, N.D.
Serving soup in the locker room during today's FCS playoff game at Montana is just one of the steps Chanticleers coach Joe Moglia is contemplating to combat the cold expected at Washington-Grizzly Stadium.
Forecasts for the 2 p.m. (noon Mountain Time) quarterfinal playoff game call for a high of 6 degrees (and a low of -4) with a 10 percent chance of snow.
What's it like to play football in that kind of cold?
Montana running back Jordan Canada explained to reporters this week.
"Your hands and arms get numb, so you have to focus a little bit more on it," said Canada. "You can't feel the ball in your arms if it's really cold. One play, your hand or arm goes numb, and the next play you might not necessarily be aware of the ball."
Moglia, whose Chanticleers departed from Myrtle Beach on a charter flight Thursday - when temperatures on the Grand Strand reached a balmy 77 degrees - is well aware of the challenge.
"We're kidding ourselves if we make believe we're going to acclimate to the cold weather in 48 hours," he said this week. "It takes weeks to do it right. Hopefully, we're going to have a good heating system on the sideline."
The 11-2 Chants are doing what they can to get ready. Moglia will have his strength coach give the players a clinic on preventing heat loss, and the team is using cold footballs in practice. The school has purchased extra cold-weather gear, and the team is leaving early enough to hold a couple of practices in Missoula.
"Any piece of fabric we have in the equipment room, we're bringing it with us," said sports information director Mike Cawood.
Montana will provide two sideline heaters, but Coastal Carolina is bringing some extra firepower. Moglia's even talked about having chicken soup in the locker room at halftime.
"At the end of the day, it's about understanding that you don't want to lose your body heat," he said. "If we're able do that . I mean, it's going to be cold, we know that, but we have to be able to handle it."
The Montana Grizzlies are 10-2 with a proud history in the FCS playoffs - championship game appearances in 2004, 2008 and 2009 and national titles in 1995 and 2001.
And Montana players love the idea that the weather gives them a home-tundra advantage.
"We look forward to it," defensive end Zach Wagenmann told reporters. "I know some of the guys on defense don't mind it when the running backs get a really cold, hard ball and have to run into any one of our three linebackers. Bring on the cold - fine by us."
Montana has won seven straight home playoff games and nine of its last 11. Dating back to 1989, the Grizzlies have won 19 of 20 home playoff games against a team from the South.
But the Chanticleers don't have to look too far to find inspiration. Wofford, from sunny Spartanburg, went to Montana in 2007 and came away with a 23-22 victory.
It was 13 degrees that day.
Coastal Carolina plays Saturday at Montanas Washington-Grizzly Stadium, where the Grizzlies have won seven straight FCS playoff games. (Montana Sports Information)×

Knee pain, back pain, hip pain, Achilles tendonitis, arthritis.
"So many people just don't understand how their choices in shoes impacts their daily life and long-term life," Amarillo podiatrist Bryan Bullard said.
"Unfortunately, you don't realize it until the damage is done."
Consumers should take more into consideration than just trendy looks when considering footwear. A person's shoes can have an impact on their health and comfort.
"When you manipulate the foot, you can help the upper portion of the body," Amarillo podiatrist Zak Weis said.
Here are some tips from local foot-health doctors:
Most people don't change their shoes often enough. The average, non-running shoe lasts from six months to a year. The average pair of specially designed footwear lasts from three years to five years.
Shoppers should have their feet measured every time they buy new pairs of shoes. Weis said people's feet get longer and wider as they age and the arch collapses.
Local podiatrists said most shoe salespeople aren't well-educated when it comes to fitting customers with the right shoe.
"There are a lot of sales clerks that mean well but don't have a lot of background when it comes to fitting or sizing a person's shoes," Bullard said. "It's kind of hit or miss when you go into a lot of stores."
Know your foot descriptions. Know what type of arch your foot is: high, low or neutral. Some doctor's offices will look at a patient's shoe after they bought it to see if it's a good fit.
Your foot shouldn't push over the side of the shoe. That's a sign the shoe is not wide enough.
Amarillo podiatrist Michael Kendall said women should avoid pointy-toed shoes and heels higher than 2½ inches.
"The ratio of women's foot problems to men's is 5-to-1," Kendall said.
Flip flops are bad for your feet.
"The problem is the flip flop doesn't support your foot very well and it doesn't support your Achilles tendon," Bullard said.
Never buy a longer shoe just to get the width, said Rodney Johnson, a certified footwear specialist.
Customers should obey the "15-minute rule," Johnson said. Wear the shoe in the store for 15 minutes. If you don't feel comfortable, don't buy the shoe.
"When you put that shoe on your foot, it should feel pretty darn good," Bullard said.
Depending on how fast your children are growing, they could need a new pair of shoes about every six months.
"Parents need to keep an eye on their kid's shoes to make sure they fit well," Weis said.
Consult a local footwear specialist if you need help with your shoe gear. If what you are doing is not working, see a podiatrist.
"Most people think foot pain is normal; foot pain is not normal," Bullard said.

Picking Grammys in a year without a front-runner
I do a pretty decent job of predicting the Oscar winners each year. But while I cover music for a living, when it comes to predicting the Grammys, I've never wagered any money.
That's because the Grammys are notoriously difficult to predict - except in a year where there's one clear dominating artist, like Adele, who collected multiple golden gramophones last year for her work on her mega blockbuster album "21." »Read Full Article
Yo La Tengo swings from calm to full-on rocking
Yo La Tengo's show at Turner Hall on Saturday showed that in music, there are different types of Zen.
The Hoboken, N.J.-based indie rock darling began a nine-song opening acoustic set with a meditative variation of "Ohm," the first track off "Fade," its lovely and relaxed 13th full-length studio album released in January. Georgia Hubley gently tapped the drums with brushes, her husband Ira Kaplan glided the song toward a subdued Middle Eastern-influenced guitar jam, and the couple along with primary bassist James McNew sang sweetly, quietly, together. »Read Full Article

Milwaukee Rep's 'Clybourne Park' an electrifying production
Because "Clybourne Park" is so good and because it explores issues that aren't going away, it's easy to agree with Mark Clements' prediction - made in his director's notes for the new Milwaukee Repertory Theater production - that Bruce Norris' play is built to last.
It's much harder to imagine watching the inevitable revival, 10 or 20 years from now, without hearkening back to the electrifying performance I saw Friday night, in which Clements' all-star cast gave "Clybourne" the treatment it deserves. »Read Full Article(1)

Pensioner sex worker brings Tony Abbott undone in the wink of an eye
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was involved in heated exchanges with radio callers yesterday over his tough budget, including with a pensioner who works on a sex phone line to pay the bills.
The conservative leader's first budget since coming to office last September took the axe to health and education spending while tightening welfare and family benefits in a bid to slash the deficit.
It has been widely slammed as too harsh, with students marching in protest around the country yesterday and Abbott forced to fend off furious criticism from members of the public in a media blitz as he attempts to sell it.
"Mr Abbott, I would like to ask you if you would like your mother or your grandmother to be in my situation?" asked Gloria, a caller to a Melbourne radio station.
"I'm a 67-year-old pensioner with three chronic, incurable medical conditions, two life-threatening.
"I just survive on around A$400 a fortnight after I pay my rent and I work on an adult sex line to make ends meet. That's the only way I can do it."
Video of the call showed Abbott winking at the presenter when the woman revealed she worked on a sex line, although his office claimed it was to signal that he was happy to proceed with the call.
"What do you suggest I cut out Mr Abbott? Food, electricity, firewood, Christmas and birthday presents to my grandchildren?" the woman added.
"Or should we all just die and get out of your way?"
Abbott responded that "I absolutely understand that you're doing it tough", before Gloria interrupted by saying: "But you don't give a stuff though do you?"
Another caller named Stella, a life-long supporter of Abbott's Liberal Party, accused him of treating the public like idiots.
"I accept if you need to do a harsh budget. What I cannot accept is myself and other intelligent voters being condescended to by politicians who won't answer a straight question ... It makes us feel that you're treating us like idiots," she said.
Abbott, whose popularity has plunged since the budget was handed down last week, according to opinion polls, has blamed the Labor opposition for leaving the country's finances in a mess and said hard decisions had to be made for the good of Australia.
"My job is not to curry popularity. My job is to do what's right for the country," he said.
As well as federal cuts of A$50 billion (HK$360 billion) to health and A$30 billion to education over the next decade, a new tax will be levied on high earners, the pension age will rise to 70 by 2035 and people will have to pay a modest fee to visit the doctor.

It's easy to get wrapped up in certain aspects of a new car, like its speed, agility or looks while ignoring more pragmatic things like cost of ownership or residual values.

Electric cars may be great for saving money on gas, but a new report from Kelley Blue Book, commissioned by USA Today, shows that EVs might not be a great value option for their first owners. The study found that compared to gas-powered vehicles, EVs tend to lose significantly more of their value in the first five years of ownership, corroborating a study conducted in the UK, which we reported on earlier this month.

When it comes to new cars, more green now means less green later. The UK-based CAP Automotive, which regularly publishes auto-depreciation reports, recently released a study that found that electric vehicles lose their value substantially faster than their gas-powered counterparts. Specifically, EVs in the UK lose about 80 percent of their value within the first three years of ownership, while most cars lose somewhere between 60 and 70 percent. The best value retainers are supercars, SUVs and lu

Last Thursday, we reported that the UK price of the Nissan Leaf will rise by 6.9 percent starting March 1st. That increase equates to an increase of £2,000 ($3,238 U.S. at the current exchange rate), driving the Leaf's MSRP way up to $50,310 before incentives. Initially, Nissan attributed the bulk of the Leaf's price hike to rising costs of raw materials, but there appears to be more to the story. The automaker now admits that depreciation of the pound is driving some of the Leaf's steep p

Five of the 10 cars with the greatest depreciation, headed by the Maybach 57S, are English, and none of them are cheap.

Anybody want to buy a used Maybach? Hello? The idea may sound entirely preposterous – an anathema, even, to the brand's nouveau riche market – but it may be the best way to get your hands on Mercedes' super-lux big brother. Of course that's the positive way to look at it, but the flip side is that, as demonstrated by recently released statistics, Maybach has the highest depreciation rates of any car on the market.

Spend more for the cutting edge of luxury and style, and you could wind up taking a larger whack than most when it's time to trade in that sled. The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) is reporting that premium luxury vehicles actually have the highest annual depreciation rate. The reason for the stone-dropping value is that luxury car buyers tend to want the latest and greatest.

This conclusion is in contrast to previous studies conducted by Consumer Reports and others that have shown that most hybrid owners won't make back the cost differential of their vehicles in

It was a great show. The acting and acrobatic routines were incredible. Kinda disappointing it's all in French, but the singing and music is beautiful regardless.

The acrobats and color were exciting.

Great show. I prefer when the Cirque shows are in the tent instead of a sports arena, though. The sports arena takes away from the immersive experience in terms of food options, lighting and sound design, and audience intimacy.

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerry Porter told Jim Rome that he wants to get traded on the Jim Rome Show on Monday.
Porter is angry that he is considered a "rotation guy" which is more of a role player on the defense rather than the starting-caliber linebacker he thinks he still is.
"I'm still a starter. I can honestly say I won't come back to do that," said Porter.
Proter is 33, but he still managed nine sacks in 2009, and he feels that he can still be a contributor as a starter for another team.
The biggest issue is that Porter comes with a hefty contract and a big attitude, but his abilities alone will keep teams interested in him.
The following teams (in no particular order) may have interest in obtaining Porter if the price is right.

Ilka Chase
|Ilka Chase
from the trailer for the film Now, Voyager (1942).
April 8, 1900
New York City, New York, U.S.
|February 15, 1978
(aged 77)
Mexico City, Mexico
|Actress, radio host, novelist
|Years active
Ilka Chase (April 8, 1900 – February 15, 1978) was an American actress and novelist.
Born in New York City and educated at convent and boarding schools in the United States, England, and France, she was the only child of Francis Dane Chase and Edna Woolman Chase. Her mother was editor-in-chief of Vogue.
Chase made her society debut in 1923 and her Broadway debut a year later, in The Red Falcon.[1] Her stage appearances included roles in Days Without End, Forsaking All Others, While Parents Sleep, Small Miracle, On to Fortune, Tampico, Co-Respondent Unknown, Keep Off the Grass and In Bed We Cry, an adaptation of her novel of the same name. She was in the original Broadway cast of Clare Boothe Luce's play, The Women (1938), and many years later appeared in Neil Simon's Broadway hit Barefoot in the Park.[2]
Her films included Now, Voyager,[3] Fast and Loose, Once a Sinner, The Animal Kingdom, The Big Knife, and No Time For Love. Her last motion picture appearance came in Ocean's 11 (1960) as Mrs. Restes.[4]
In the early 1940s, Chase was the hostess for Penthouse Party on CBS[5] and Luncheon Date With Ilka Chase, on NBC Red.[6] For several years, she hosted the radio program, Luncheon at the Waldorf.
Chase was a regular in Trials of O'Brien on CBS in the mid-1960s.[7] In 1957, she performed the role of the Stepmother in the television production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, which starred Julie Andrews. Chase made a rare television sitcom appearance as "Aunt Pauline" on The Patty Duke Show.
Personal life[edit]
Ilka Chase was married three times.
- Actor Louis Calhern, 1926–27 (divorced)
- William B. Murray, a radio executive, 1935–46 (divorced)
- Dr. Norton Sager Brown, 1946–78 (her death)
All of the unions were childless.
Her autobiography Past Imperfect (Volume I), which said "Those who never fail are those who never try," was published in 1942, with Volume II, Free Admission, being published in 1948. She also wrote more than a dozen other books including "The Care and Feeding of Friends", A guide to lighthearted entertaining with over 80 recipes and 20 menus, copyright 1973, Doubleday & Company, Inc.[citation needed]
Chase died in Mexico City, Mexico, aged 77. She is interred at Westchester Hills Cemetery in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. Her epitaph reads: "I've finally gotten to the bottom of things."[8]

'Half the Kingdom' travels through the health care system, darkly
Slide over, Thomas Pynchon, and make room for another older writer's sardonic novel about contemporary New York, infused with conspiracy theory.
In "Half the Kingdom," Lore Segal finds plenty of worms in the Big Apple, just as Pynchon does in "Bleeding Edge." But in contrast to Pynchon's all-inclusive paranoia, Segal focuses tightly on one faltering ecosystem: the elderly and American health care. »Read Full Article
'Revertigo' author Skloot appearing at Boswell
Floyd Skloot's new memoir, "Revertigo" (Terrace Books), covers many topics: a community theater production of "The King and I," New York accents, his mother's remarriage, books he tries but just can't read.
But its big subject is the unexpected, devastating attack of vertigo that struck him on March 27, 2009, and lasted 138 days. In putting together this book, Skloot writes, he realized "my work was exploring balance and its loss, how the forces of uncertainty and sudden change and displacement had shaped me since childhood, as it shapes many of us..." »Read Full Article
Jazz keyboardist Moran throws 'Fats Waller Dance Party'
As the swing era peaked around 1940, pianist-composer Fats Waller was as hot as it got. "Ain't Misbehavin'," currently lighting up the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Stackner Caberet, demonstrates how Waller's catchy melodies enlivened dancers nationwide.
Then cool and contemporary jazz got more intellectual, as the dancers sat down or moved elsewhere and jazz began its long, continuing decline. »Read Full Article

During the housing boom, a borrower's ability to exhale appeared to be the chief criterion for obtaining a mortgage. Six years of record foreclosures later, with millions of borrowers owing more than their properties are worth, the housing market continues to tread water.
To prevent this from happening again, the Dodd-Frank financial-reform act of 2010 required that changes be made. The chief targets: such mortgage instruments as "interest-only" and "negative-amortization" loans, both of which allowed marginal borrowers to buy more house than they could have ever possibly afforded.

Life lessons get expensive
OK, so I admit I was speeding. But that's not the point. At least, not to me. I was pretty steamed.
It all started early Sunday morning shortly after we left Donna and Homer's house (my sister and her husband) in the south suburbs of Kansas City to come home. To get from their house to the four-lane divided highway we take south toward Arkansas involves about 15 miles on a two-lane highway.
It was pitch black at 5:15 a.m. I was driving carefully, keeping a keen eye out for deer and the other on the speedometer to make sure I stayed at the 55 miles per hour speed limit.
After a few minutes, there was a city limits sign for the small town of Harrisonville. Attached to the sign was a 35-mile per hour speed limit sign.
No town was in sight, just black nothingness, but I took my foot off the accelerator and began to coast toward a speed of 35 miles an hour. Within a few seconds, car lights came on off to the side of me and a car pulled in behind me.
"It must be a cop; I think I'm going to get a ticket," I said to Jenny.
"No, the limit just changed. He wouldn't give you a ticket. He's probably just making sure you're slowing down," Jenny said.
My wife is not often wrong, but she was this time. After following me for a little while as I got down to 35, the flashing lights came on.
I figure he was checking out my Mississippi tag, making certain he wasn't about to give a ticket to the mayor's cousin or something.
Officer Bullinger couldn't have been more polite. He identified himself, asked where we were headed, and said his radar showed I was going 48 in a zone posted 35. I mentioned that I had just passed the city limits sign, and that there was no "Reduced speed ahead" sign or any graduated speed reduction.
But from the monotone voice, I could tell this was going nowhere. Off he went with my driver's license and insurance card. Soon he returned with a ticket, a listing of fines and a self-addressed envelope attached. How handy.
In the same practiced monotone, he mentioned he had given me a court date as late in January (the 18th) as he could, because he thought we might be a little short during the holidays. How thoughtful.
It was the second speeding ticket I have gotten in my life. The first was in west Texas about 10 years ago. I had forgotten to re-set my cruise control after stopping in a small town for ice cream at a Dairy Queen.
The episodes remind me of tales relatives used to tell about two small towns in New Mexico. In one, you were bound to get a speeding ticket if you were over the limit as you passed the city limit sign. In the other, stopping to fill up with gasoline at either of two stations in town could lead to tire trouble. While you took a bathroom break, the attendant would fill the tank, check the oil and wash your windshield. (Yes, they used to do that.) When you returned, he would point out a very low tire. And he just happened to have your tire size.
Maybe that's why some drivers prefer to battle the traffic on an impersonal interstate highway, rather than the vagaries of smaller highways and even smaller towns.
Another in a series of life lessons. This one cost $100.

All-Access Pass: Memphis 90, Mavs 84
Foreward ...
Did you think the the Dallas Mavericks had hit rock bottom? Did you think things were as bad as they could get? It's the darkest just before the dawn, or so they say … and sometimes the light comes up just to taunt you with the reality of how ugly things have gotten.
Things started off well enough, with the Mavericks having their third highest scoring opening quarter of the season, 38 points, and leaping to a 25-point lead early in the second quarter over the Memphis Grizzlies.
And, so began the unraveling … 38 points in the first quarter, 46 over the rest of the game.
Using the final five minutes of the second quarter and a dominant third, holding Dallas to five total points in the period (you read that correctly), Memphis plucked the Mavs hearts from their chest, tossed them to the floor and took turns dancing on them as the beating slowed and finally stopped with a 90-84 Dallas loss.
They stepped up the pressure," Dirk Nowitzki said. "They started picking us up and really got into us, and we didn't really have much going from that point on. They got going and were all over us. That really sums it up. They turned the pressure up and that was the game."
The Unraveling …
The final five minutes of the second quarter and the entire third, 17 minutes of basketball, 17 minutes of utter destruction, 1,020 seconds of watching what you thought could be the rising sun gradually become clear as a crashing fireball arriving to set your world aflame.
How it looked though the numbers:
Dallas was outscored 40-to-9, out-rebounded 22-to-9, and committed 13 turnovers that led directly to 18 Grizzlies points.
The Mavs hit 4-of-24 shots (16.7 percent), missed all five of the 3-pointers they attempted, and hit 1-of-4 free throws … meaning, Dallas had just over three times as many turnovers as made field goals (13-4).
Meanwhile, Memphis hit 16-of-30 field goals (53.3 percent), hit 8-of-9 free throws and had 12 assists (the Mavs had two).
Within the borders of that Ugly …
Trapped within the nastiness of those 17 minutes are a few peculiar numbers that speak to a larger worrisome trend that has long tread the grounds of the "eye test."
Over the first 19 minutes the Mavs built a 51-26 lead, supported largely on the offensive production of Shawn Marion (14 points on 7-of-10 shooting), Dirk Nowitzki (8 points, 4-of-6 field-goals) and Chris Kaman (6 points, 3-of-4 shots) … combining to take 20 of the teams 32 shot attempts.
Over the next 17 minutes, those three players totaled five of the team's 24 shot attempts, missing all of them.
From the hot shooters acting as primary options to being rendered to onlookers … from a 51-to-26 to a 9-to-40 run.
In those 17 minutes, OJ Mayo hit 1-of-8 shots … and Mike James hit 1-of-5.
Whatever your thoughts on Mike James, it can't be viewed as a positive when he has twice as many shots as Dirk over 17 minutes of basketball that ultimately decide a game … that James took as many shots as Dirk, Marion and Kaman combined (the three who were rolling early, who most contributed to the lead) only adds to the bruise.
Looking at the larger picture, it feels like this team far too often has trouble getting the ball into Dirk Nowitzki's hands consistently. Whether it's as Dirk slips open after setting a screen, only to have the ball handler never look his direction, or the pass that never comes as Dirk first gets set in one of his "spots" before clearing out to allow the offense that wasn't coming to him to avoid forced stagnancy; it's more than worrisome how much trouble this roster has with consistently getting the ball to their best player in a position to succeed.
Dirk isn't LeBron, isn't Kobe …
Dirk isn't LeBron in the sense that he can't be asked to dribble the ball up in the game's deciding moments. He must rely on others to grant him those chances, to feed him when his hands are waving, his jaw wide and pleading.
You can point a portion of the finger towards a too-deferential Dirk … for making what is often the smart basketball decision in a vacuum, but not when it's Dirk passing up a contested jumper for what becomes a Mike James jumper … but this is only a small fraction of the entire equation.
Far too often Dirk is left open and waiting … posting up and waiting … clearing out and waiting … setting a pick, popping open and waiting.
Clearly, there is a design in place to limit the burden thrust upon Dirk's shoulders, a wise decision over the course of the season – particularly this season.
However, when the game rests on a razor, waiting to be pushed in one direction or the other, it feels like Dirk is too often left doing the same … waiting.
The NBA highlight reel ...
Quoteboard ...
"All I can say is, we all own this. We own all the losses. We own the wins when we get them as a team. And this is a challenging stretch, it's a challenging year, but we're going to stick together and keep fighting, and that's just the way we're going to do business with this thing. … It's another tough lesson in a season full of tough lessons." - Coach Rick Carlisle
Is there a silver lining … Do you care?
When you're scheduling the surgery to remove the growing collection of fists stuck in your gut is there much desire to seek out the silver lining?
Shawn Marion scored 16 points, hitting 8-of-12 shots, to go with eight rebounds, one steal, one block and four turnovers … continuing his strong play against Memphis this season, averging 16.7 points in three games. Against teams he has faced more than once, he has only faired better against Orlando (18.5 points per) and Golden State (17.0 points per).
Conspicuously absent for much of the fourth quarter, playing only 4:28, Marion was still the team's leading rebounder in the period, with two, and hit his only shot attempt.
The Mavs DB.com Android App ...
We've just developed the DB.com Mavs app for Android. (With Apple on its way). It's FREE and ready for Dallas Mavericks fans just like you!
Getting the start …
After missing 10 games due to symptoms associated with a concussion he received in practice, Chris Kaman returned to play just over eight minutes against the Lakers before getting a DNP-CD (Did Not Play – Coach's Decision) last game against Milwaukee.
Wednesday night, he was in the starting lineup.
Kaman played almost 22 minutes and had six points, four rebounds, three assists and one block.
Unfortunately, all of those points and three of the rebounds came in his seven first-quarter minutes. Conversely, he had no points and only one rebound over his final 14 minutes … but took only one shot.
Which DB.com reader wins the autographed Dirk card? ...
Parker Turner of the LHS Redhawks is a high-school sophomore who is a Premium subscriber to DB.com and a Mavs Fan For Life.
What did he do to win? Follow FishSports on Twitter , is about it! Congrats, Parker!
Mavsellaneous …
*Dallas had more points in the paint (34-28), second-chance points (8-6), and fastbreak points (16-12) … giving them a plus-12 in these categories combined.
Unfortunately, this was completely buried by the fact that they gave the ball away 21 times, leading to 23 points for the Grizzlies. Though the Mavs forced 17 Memphis turnovers, they scored only six from these … giving them a minus-17 in this category.
You can do a lot well … but when you give your opponent free points, it doesn't matter.
*Jae Crowder scored nine points to go with four rebounds … and joined Kaman as the only Mavs to play more than one minutes to not have a single turnover.
*We noted the struggles OJ Mayo has had against the best in the West. Against his former team, that trend continued: 11 points, 5-of-13 field goals, two rebounds, two assists, one block and a team-high five turnovers.
*Darren Collison or Mike James in crunch time? Two games ago it was almost solely James. Last game it was Collison. This time it was a little of both in the fourth, but James was on the court for the final six minutes.
*In the odd coincidence department: when the Mavs had their highest scoring first quarter of the season (42) they followed that up by being outscored 23-17 in the second. Wednesday night, after having their third highest scoring first quarter of the season (38), they followed that up by being outscored … 23-17 in the second.
*Dallas scored five points in the third quarter, tying for the least amount scored in a quarter this season by any team. It was also a Memphis franchise record for least points allowed in a quarter … but did not set the Mavs franchise record for a low, as they scored only two points in 1997 against the Lakers (also in the third quarter).
The Final Word …
In a season of soul-crushing disappointments, how do you quantify the individual values of each, the pain associated with any singular hurt?
Why would you want to?
In the end, it's an accumulation of ache that permeates every fiber of a fan's sports soul … that threatens to construct the most tortuous of sports hells … the relative banishment that is irrelevance, of a complete void of hope, of a numbness that feeds a scratching apathy.
Such are the places a loss like this, on the back of so many that preceded it, lead you. Instead of dwelling on a path that can do nothing but shove one down a spiral of dissatisfaction, of second-guessing, of regret, of emotions that can lend to something less than full effort; the Mavs must do all that they can do. ... even as they face a playoffs-or-else scenario that seems to require them to go 20-5 down the stretch.
They must swallow this one down and pull up to the table for the next serving … put on their bibs and tear into the slim opportunities that remain.
And us? What are we swallowing?
We're contemplating another sports-soul-healing glass of scotch.
