Scribes & The Duke
February 7, 2010 by danny
7th February. On Royal Avenue on a freezing day I met Tom Mathews and knew/ That a pint of stout he would want, a pint that I might later rue.So, we went to Madden's Bar to literally discuss the state of the literary nation. He had been in a shop, trying to buy Martin Amis's latest book but the assistant had been searching for an author called 'Amos'. Tom is currently reading 'Imperium' by the English author Robert Harris which, from Tom's description, reminded me of Robert Graves' 'I, Claudius'. After a few drinks, Tom then left to catch the 4pm train to Dublin. At the Scribes event yesterday I had noticed him occasionally taking notes in a very nice, leather-backed notebook (which some lady, I think, had bought him as a Christmas present), using a 2B pencil, a pencil showing a degree of lead overly circumcised. He explained to me that when ideas occur to him he has to immediately write them down and this was his working method. And I had been thinking all along that that was what the back of one's hands were for.
Received a very savvy email from my friend and neighbour Rory in response to my article on 'Profiting from Death'. He said: "I couldn't agree with you more (and you should have mentioned the Irish News by name)… I don't care if 'they' use a handcart for me and definitely a cheap coffin and no flash limos either… Aside from a real wooden 'Calvin Klein designer-box' they are made of chip wood and after a week or two the deceased is 'swimming in water' as they all 'cave-in'… Sorry to disagree with you, you got one fact wrong. I recall 'me da' saying (and he died in 1959), "Look at that 'so and so' is dead 15 times." Say three 'Our Fathers' and three 'Hail Marys' for your mistake! By the way, the better quality papers down South don't do multiple notices.'
Very interesting. Could we get people – who can ill afford the costliness of these death insertions – to agree to only put in one or two family notices?
6th February. Brought poet/cartoonist Tom Mathews around a few hostelries before bringing him to Scribes at the West [club] where he was one of the speakers along with Les Barker and Duke Special who also sang [brilliantly!]. What a performer. What performers! Duke Special was fresh from a gig in Draperstown in support of the victims of the Haiti earthquake. He is celebrating the forthcoming release of three new records which include songs he wrote based on Bertolt Brecht's words for the recent production of Mother Courage and Her Children at the National Theatre in London (which featured Duke and actress Fiona Shaw); songs from an unfinished musical by Kurt Veil based on Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn; and a collection of songs inspired by 'The Book of Illusions' by the American writer Paul Auster.
5th February. Picked up poet Les Barker from City Airport and brought him to the BBC where he was interviewed by Kim Lenaghan for Arts Extra. Les recited his tragic/comic poem about the sinking of the Titanic from the polar bear's perspective. Later gave Les a small tour of Belfast [pubs] meeting Dawn Purvis along the way who said in response to Les's poem about the Titanic, "it was okay when it left us in East Belfast"!

Profiting From Death
A few weeks ago Lara Marlowe in the Irish Times was reporting on the aftermath of the recent devastating earthquake in Haiti which killed upwards of 150,000 people. She wrote: "Before the earthquake, Haitian funerals were an occasion for celebration. Families splashed out tens of thousands of Haitian dollars on luxury caskets and new clothing for the departed."
Whilst it might be considered to be highly respectful to honour your deceased loved ones in such a demonstrative way I am sure it placed a huge burden on Haitians who are amongst the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere. I suspect also that this pressure to compete is akin to the phenomenon of 'keeping up with the Joneses', which widely affects poor and working-class people.
There is an interesting story told by the German writer Goethe in his autobiography, which I have written about before, about his neighbour, Von Ochsenstein, a patrician who had not led a particularly remarkable life. In those days – late eighteenth century Europe – the custom (in a way similar to Haiti) was for great expense to be laid out for funerals which often crippled poor families. Von Ochenstein left behind directions that common working men should carry him to the grave, early in the morning, in perfect silence, and without an attendant or follower. Though a bit extreme, he made his point, about death being an equaliser, a leveller.
Goethe wrote: "the affair caused great excitement in the city, where they were accustomed to the most pompous funerals. All who discharged the customary offices on such occasions rose against the innovation. But the stout patrician found imitators in all classes, and, though such ceremonies were derisively called ex-burials, they came into fashion, to the advantages of many of the more poorly provided families…"
Prior to 1969, when a loved one passed away, one death notice in the 'Irish News' was adequate to inform all that person's old friends and neighbours. And, yet, fast forward to today, and when someone dies it almost seems as if their worth is measured in the number of death notices that are placed in the local newspapers. Furthermore, this phenomenon (which I believe to be connected to the Troubles when neighbours in streets, friends and relatives, placed insertions after a murder or killing to show solidarity or outrage) appears mainly to be associated with working-class people. I never see that many death notices from middle-class people: one or two notices appear to be enough. Besides, 'bad' news travels fast, so even if no notice was placed you can be sure that the majority of a late one's acquaintances would have been informed about his or her death.
The only real beneficiaries of the placing of multiple death notices, row upon row, are newspaper proprietors. I recently counted up the revenue of a well-known daily. The notices filled two or three pages (presumably, requiring one typesetter only), required little or no journalism (just a little subbing), no scanning of photographs or creative design, and was raking into its coffers about £40,000 per week.
£40,000 a week!
I am leaving instructions behind that when I pass off this mortal coil that one death notice shall be sufficient – that is, if even then, I have a friend!

So It Goes
Enjoyed 'Slaughterhouse Five' by Kurt Vonnegut (who died in 2007). It is a first person narrative by Billy Pilgrim and blends science fiction with Vonnegut's own war-time experiences as a POW in Dresden, where he survived the Allied firebombing of that city on February 13th 1945 which killed 135,000 people, mostly civilians.
Billy has become "unstuck in time" and lives both on earth and in the alien planet of Tralfmadore whose occupants are resigned to the death of the universe and respond to all tragedy with their catchphrase, adopted by Billy, "So it goes."
Later on in life, the Tralfamadorians advised Billy "to concentrate on the happy moments of his life, and to ignore the unhappy ones – to stare only at pretty things as eternity failed to go by."
Billy's friend in the mental hospital, Eliot Rosewater, had told him "that everything there was to know about life was in The Brothers Karamazov, by Feodor Dostoevsky. 'But that isn't enough any more.'"

SANTA CRUZ -- While Soquel High graduate Nate Doss held the hearts of local fans, Ken Climo -- disc golf's Jack Nicklaus -- won the Professional Disc Golf Association Steady Ed Headrick Memorial Masters Cup at DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course in a sudden-death playoff Sunday.
After three days and 81 holes, Climo, a 12-time world champion and five-time national champion, was pushed to hole No. 82 by upstart Brad Williams as both finished at 13-under par for the tournament after regulation. With the playoff beginning on the first hole, Williams missed going around a mandatory tree to the right, quickly putting an end to the contest.
"I just can't put into words how much more the friendships and the places I've been and the people I've met mean to me than the championships," said Climo, who shot 3-over on his first 20 holes during the first round Friday before turning his tournament around. "It's just a really cool thing to be involved with."¦Anyone who's in the top 10 this week is a hell of a player."
Despite the rough final hole, Williams professed no disappointment in finishing second to the PDGA's biggest star. In fact, the Austin, Texas native wasn't even sure if he was going to make it to California this weekend, as he languished on the waiting list until the last moment. He finally arrived for the tournament at 6:30 a.m. Friday just before the first round.
"It feels good to get beat by the champion," Williams said. "[Climo] is like the greatest of all time, so for me to come out here and just tie him has been a goal of mine for a long time."
Doss, a two-time world champion, nearly put himself in the playoff, too.
With a gallery clearly favoring the Santa Cruz-born local on the 26th hole, Doss threw a long drive down the center of a narrow hole before clunking his birdie putt off the basket, eliciting a loud groan from the crowd. However, he recovered on the final hole -- known infamously as the "Top of the World" -- netting a birdie with a 50-foot putt around an overhanging tree branch to finish at 12-under and tie for third with Steve Rico.
"That putt came down to doing it for my fans here in Santa Cruz," said Doss, who has never won the Masters Cup. "It's my hometown. I love being here. I've lived here my entire life, and this was just for everyone who supports me all around town. I'm trying to win it for Santa Cruz, and one day I will."
The tournament featured 151 players including several disc golf stars, such as women's champion Carrie Berlogar and reigning men's World Champion Avery Jenkins.
DeLaveaga will once again take center stage in July of next year when it co-hosts the World Disc Golf Championships along with several other courses in the Monterey Bay area.
"The great thing about Santa Cruz is this history," said Brian Graham, executive director of the PDGA. "Disc golf was pretty much founded in the area. The players and the PDGA just love coming to this community."

Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, July 5, 2011... The Honourable Gail Shea, Minister of National Revenue, today visited the Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown to promote the children's arts tax credit, a new non-refundable credit announced in the 2011 federal budget.
"Parents whose children participate in paid artistic, cultural, recreational, and developmental programs will now enjoy the same benefit as parents whose children participate in paid programs of physical activity. Our Government believes whether a child is inspired by Heather Moyse, Jim Carrey, or Great Big Sea, parents should receive a tax credit to help pay for the programs that will help their children live out those dreams," said Minister Shea.
In addition to fitness programs covered by the children's fitness tax credit, parents can now claim money spent on programs that focus on fine arts, music, performing arts, outdoor wilderness training, learning a language, studying a culture, tutoring, and more. When parents claim the children's arts tax credit—up to a maximum of $500 of the cost of programs—they save as much as $75 at tax time per child claimed.
To find out if your child's program is eligible for the children's arts tax credit, go to www.cra.gc.ca/artscredit.

Wynn Studies Evolution of Citizen ScienceAmateur scientists have long helped researchers collect data. That relationship keeps changing thanks to crowdsourcing.
"The Internet is becoming a game changer in citizen science," said James Wynn, an associate professor of English who is working on a book about citizen science.
Wynn is looking at the ethical issues raised by citizen science in his new book, which will focus on how citizens and scientists engage with each other.
"The extent to which scientists might exploit citizens and exploit the idea that citizens are participants in science has not been fully explored yet,"
he said.
Wynn teaches courses on the rhetoric of science, rhetoric and public policy and rhetoric and the public sphere. He credits the university and the Dietrich College for creating an interdisciplinary atmosphere, in which an English professor can research science and mathematics.
"I can work with engineers, nuclear engineers, nuclear physicists and people studying risk and risk management," he said. "It's a place where there are truly cross-disciplinary projects."
A recent Carnegie Mellon citizen scientist project out of the CREATE Lab is the Nearby Nature GigaBlitz. The global effort works to reveal extraordinary biodiversity of the ordinary settings where people live, learn and work.
A famous example of citizen science is the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count, which has happened for more than 100 years. Over the holidays, they asked local residents to count birds in specific areas and used the data to determine bird populations and migration patterns.
Wynn, who has an interest in public policy and nuclear power, looked at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster from 2011 and how the Internet is making it possible to provide nearby residents with comprehensive readings of radiation levels.
"After the Fukushima accident, this group called Safecast said that they were not satisfied with how the government had been reporting data on radiation," he said. "They went out, did their own measurements and created a website to put the information on."
Computers are allowing citizens to do science for themselves in a way that has never happened before, he said. It is changing the gathering and visualization of risk information by allowing for more detail.
"Safecast is a perfect example - they're doing their own data gathering and data representation," Wynn said. "I'm also interested in how this changes argument. When citizens begin to gather their own data and broadcast it, it creates new problems."
When Safecast first started collecting and sharing radiation information, they had to defend their practices, he said. Once they became more educated through fieldwork and designed new Geiger counters so that radiation measurements could be downloaded directly to the Internet, they began to challenge the government's practices. The government, in turn, has to defend their position and reinforce their authority and credibility.
This will be Wynn's second book. "Evolution by Numbers: The Origins of Mathematical Argument in Biology" was released earlier this year.

Frank Barnes, distinguished professor of electrical engineering at the University of Colorado at Boulder, on Feb. 24 will receive the National Academy of Engineering's top educational honor, a $500,000 award recognizing innovation in engineering and technology education.
The Bernard M. Gordon Prize honors Barnes "for pioneering an Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program that produces leaders who bridge engineering, social science and public policy" and will be presented at a dinner in Washington, D.C.
The Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program, which Barnes co-founded with George Codding Jr. of political science in 1971, was revolutionary in its approach to graduate education and has been a model for the development of other telecommunications programs nationwide. It was built on the concept that engineers of the future would need more than a mastery of technical details -- they also would need an appreciation of the policy and business aspects of industry.
"Key to its success is the program's ability to attract people from a wide variety of backgrounds," said William Wulf, president of the National Academy of Engineering. "That diversity has produced graduates with a valuable range of perspectives on engineering, policy and economics."
Over the years, the Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program has attracted students from 68 countries around the world with backgrounds ranging from economics to international affairs to engineering. Currently, about 200 students from 18 countries are enrolled in telecommunications courses.
The program has opened up the opportunity for nonengineering graduates to learn things vital to participation in the telecommunications industry and, at the same time, broadened one part of engineering education to include aspects of policy and law.
"I believe that our program has made many successful careers possible," said Barnes. "Hundreds of graduates from this program have gone on to do important things."
Among those who have earned master's degrees from the program are Sharon Black, author of "Telecommunications Law in the Internet Age," and David Weiss, former CEO of StorageTek.
Barnes has long been a leader at CU-Boulder, serving as interim dean, distinguished professor, chair of the electrical and computer engineering department for 17 years, and a founder of electrical engineering departments at other CU campuses.
Barnes has been a CU-Boulder faculty member since 1959 and was named a distinguished professor by the CU Board of Regents in 1997. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2001.
The Gordon Prize was established in 2001 as a biennial prize recognizing new modalities and experiments in education that develop effective engineering leaders. Recognizing the potential to spur a revolution in engineering education, the National Academy last year announced that the prize would be awarded annually.
The National Academy of Engineering is an independent, nonprofit institution, whose members consist of the nation's premier engineers, elected by their peers for their seminal contributions to engineering. As such, the academy provides leadership and guidance to the government on the application of engineering resources to social, economic and security problems.
For additional information about the Gordon Prize visit http://www.nae.edu/awards or contact Leila Rao, NAE awards administrator, at (202) 334-1237, or Randy Atkins, NAE media relations officer at (202) 334-1508.

Is it a "fetus," or is "it" a Person?
Kermit Gosnell isn't the only late-term abortionist in this country.
Most of us know about Gosnell/Tiller/Carhart. What we don't realize is that many of our hospitals push late-term abortions on women for a variety of reasons. Any pregnant woman can fall prey to this. All she has to do is be pregnant with a baby that might have some sort of problem. The pressure intensifies if she's doesn't have money.
I've heard these stories from the women themselves and from hospital personnel, particularly nurses and hospital chaplains. Doctors bully, badger women into submitting to late-term abortions. The presumption seems to be that any baby that might have a health problem should be killed and women who refuse to do this are out of line and irresponsible.
The irony is that there is no reason to do a late term abortion.
This is a Live Action video of an undercover person talking to a doctor about late-term abortions.
There is no reason for late-term abortions.
Abortion supporters are fond of saying that people like Dr Kermit Gosnell, the late Dr George Tiller and Dr LeRoy Carhart perform a "necessary service" for "desperate women" when they "provide" late term abortions.
Not true.
Not even close to being true.
There is no reason for a late-term abortion. None. Zip. Zilch.
The legislators I work with, and (I would guess) much of the general public, lives in a fantasy land about abortion. They seem to think that an elective abortion involves a preternatural procedure where the doctor waves a medical magic wand over the pregnant woman and — poof! — she is no longer pregnant.
In their self-consoling dream world, abortion is just a re-wind that doesn't put women through a surgery or, in the case of late-term abortions, a labor and delivery. All they will allow themselves to think that happens with "safe, legal abortion" is that the woman pays her money and is, through a miraculous medical intervention, made unpregnant.
In this fantasy world, there are no dismembered little baby bodies and their scrambled parts to reassemble and check to make sure the abortion is complete. In fantasy abortions, women do not experience pain during the fantasy procedure and danger is non-existent.
This "thing" that will one day "become a baby" is not a human being. In the cowardly imaginations of those who won't face facts, no one suffers, no one dies, and in fact, nothing much happens in an abortion. It's all painless, deathless problem solving for problems they don't want to actually solve.
That's where most of the resistance to pro life legislation lives. It is a product of convenient lies that allow people to do monstrous things and keep their own mental skirts clean, at least so long as they box themselves off from reality and never know the truth.
This nonsense about "necessary services" for "desperate women" concerning the work of Gosnell/Tiller/Carhart is fantasy carried to the point of deliberate delusion.
Let's stop for a moment and try thinking about the reality rather than the fantasy.
Late-term abortion refers to the deliberate killing of babies whose mothers are far along in their pregnancies. That's where the phrase "late-term" comes from. What does that mean? It means that the baby looks like a baby, acts like a baby, sounds like a baby and, if it's born at this point, would have a fighting chance of living like a baby.
Late-term abortions are performed on women who advanced months into their pregnancies before their "desperation" set in. This "service" requires that the women be put through horrific medical procedures that involve giving them large doses of contraction-stimulating hormones to induce unusually violent and painful labor and delivery. A nurse who assisted in these things told me that the doctors they worked for deliberately stimulated contractions so violent that the contractions would usually kill the baby while it was being born.
Aside from what this does to the baby, what do you think it does to the woman? The grisly and illegal procedure we call "partial birth abortion" requires that the baby be delivered feet first, then the delivery stopped so that the doctor can suction out the baby's brain before it is legally born. Proponents of this procedure talked about how it was necessary for "women's health." But I ask you, aside from what it does to the baby, what do you think that does to the woman? How is that consistent with "women's health?"
I'm not talking about her emotions here. I am talking about labor and delivery practices that are painful, dangerous and quite horrible for the woman. How is this something that protects "women's health?"
The answer is, it doesn't.
In addition to what this does to the woman, consider for a moment that many of these babies must be deliberately killed before the procedure takes place to keep them from being born alive. The way I've heard that this is usually done is to give the baby a shot of poison directly into its heart. This means jabbing a needle through the mother's abdomen and into the baby. It means the mother has to feel her baby thrash around the avoid the needle, then feel it die. All this is done to keep the legal fiction that this late-term abortion is not, in fact, a cold-blooded murder.
In spite of this, many of these babies are born alive. The doctor might miss the mark and not shoot the poison into the baby's heart. Or, the dose might be too small. Or, the doctor doesn't administer the death-dealing drug and the baby is strong enough to survive the excessively violent contractions the doctor puts the mother through.
However it happens, babies do manage to survive these deliberate attempts to medically murder them and are born alive. When that happens, what does a doctor do? For decades, they killed these babies. Changes in the law now require them to administer medical care to the babies, but as we've learned, that doesn't always happen.
How does all this support my contention that late-term abortion is never necessary? What about abortion to save the mother's life?
The answer is so obvious it's hard to believe people don't see it.
If the woman is going to have to go through a labor and delivery anyway, there is no reason whatsoever to kill the baby. If the mother's life is at stake, all that needs to be done is deliver the baby. Then, do your medical best to save both the child and its mother.
There is no reason to kill these babies. There is no medical reason. No moral reason. No situation that requires it.
In some instances, late-term abortions are performed on very young girls. Proponents don't argue their case, because they don't have one. They simply point to the young girl and yammer about how can anyone "force" her to have a child. Their whole argument is based on the magic rewind fantasy abortion.
It ignores the fact that a late-term abortion will put the young girl through a much harsher labor and delivery than she would experience if she received life-saving medical care designed to save both her and her baby. It ignores the reality that the baby is already here. There is a child.
All late-term abortion does is kill the child. It does not save the mother anything. It is not "necessary" and it is not done to "save" "desperate" women.
There is no reason for late-term abortion.

Lemon Blueberry SconesYum
Scones…near and dear to my heart. These fluffy and light Lemon Blueberry Scones are my absolute favorite. They have big plump blueberries and a lovely delicate taste of fresh Meyer lemons. I prefer my scones a little smaller…a little flatter….a little less weighty than the average scone. These lemon blueberry scones are so wonderful right from the oven slathered with either Meyer lemon curd or strawberry butter….or a little bit of both. It's impossible to pick a favorite. These fruit scones taste great on their own….but I prefer to serve them with lemon curd (which I absolutely love) and strawberry butter (likely to become a new staple in your home). You'll love them both!
After I scooped a little of the lemon curd and strawberry butter on this plate…I forgot to set the containers of each back on the table to photograph. Ooops. So then…
when I went to photograph them separately…this was all that was left of the strawberry butter…..
and…these few spoonfuls was all that was left of this wonderful, silky-smooth Meyer lemon curd.
You will love this Meyer lemon curd…and if you've never had lemon curd…you are in for a treat. Lemon Bluebery Scones, Meyer Lemon Curd, Strawberry Butter… and a spot of your favorite English tea.
Some of life's simple pleasures! Hope you enjoy!

Lemon Blueberry Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 large egg (preferably free-range)
1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1-1/2 teaspoons grated Meyer lemon zest
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Egg Glaze
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
Turbinado sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor fitted with the metal blade, place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and pulse to combine the ingredients well.
In a large bowl, mix the cream, egg, vanilla and zest and set aside.
Cut the chilled butter into 1/2 inch pieces and add them to the flour. Process in the food processor until the mixture resembles crumbs. The largest size of the butter pieces should be the size of a kernel of corn. Place the flour mixture to a large bowl and make a well. Add the cream and gently fold in the flour. You won't want to overwork the dough or the scones will be tough. Gently fold in the blueberries, careful not to over mix and smooch the berries.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and sprinkle a teaspoon or two of flour on top. Gently knead the dough with your hands. The inside of your dough should remain moist. Gently roll out the dough to 1/2 inch thickness, then using a fluted biscuit cutter, cut out the scones. Do not twist the cutter to cut the dough, as this will keep your scones from rising evenly. You should have 8 rounds. Brush the tops of the dough rounds with the egg wash (do not let it run down the sides…again this will keep your scones from rising evenly). Sprinkle the tops of each round with the Turbinado sugar.
Place the scones on a Silpat lined cookie sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned. A toothpick should come out clean when inserted in the center if you want to make sure their done. Cool on a wire rack…or serve immediately.
Meyer Lemon Curd:
3 large eggs (preferably free-range)
1/2 cup fine granulated sugar (baking sugar)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons grated Meyer lemon zest
Using a double boiler, whisk the eggs and a scant 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Add the lemon juice, butter and lemon zest. Cook over medium-high heat, and whisk constantly until the mixture is thick enough and sticks to a spatula, or the back of a spoon, approximately 10 minutes.
Cool completely before serving.
The lemon curd will keep for up to 3 days…but, trust me…it won't last 3 days.
Strawberry Butter:
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 heaping tablespoon strawberry preserves
Mix until well blended.
C'est tout!

Looks wonderful – beautiful pictures!
Have fun…
These photos are lovely 🙂 I'm also looking forward to Spring.
Scones are one of my favorite too, especially if they're light and fluffy. No hockey puck scones for me! And meyer lemon is one of my favorite flavors – so tart and mild and the perfect compliment to just about any fruit.

We always have a fun time when we hang with Project Runway season five finalist Kenley Collins.
Collins is elegant, talented and fiercely honest - and we got to see a glimpse of all three during her a showing of her Spring '10 collection (inspired by Amelia Earhart) at Wednesday night's Forte/Seam Collective runway show at the Metropolitan Pavilion.
Designers Marissa Erskine (top photo, left), Elizabeth Rynish (center-right) and Sheila Frank (right) also presented their collections, all in the name of a great cause: Gilda's Club NYC, which provides support to cancer patients and their families.
The night was also something of a Project Runway season five reunion, as designers Daniel Feld and Stella Zotis (bottom photo) came out to support their castmate!
Poison Ivy ran into Collins pre-show (in the bathroom of all places), and asked about her long-term plans.
"I just did a plus-size line," Collins confirmed, which New York Magazine speculated about last month.
That's when a runway model came flying out of a nearby stall.
"What's considered plus-size?" she asks. "My friend, just as skinny as me, is a plus-size model. She has to get padded."
"No, I'm doing big girls," Collins assures us.
"You know what would be cute?" the model goes on. "A maternity line!"
Collins glances in the mirror and pauses as she blots her lipstick on a dispensed paper towel.
"That would be cute," she finally agrees.
"If somebody approaches me, I'll do it."

text: So I bought an Armani exchange watch on a cruise last month for $145. It was from a vendor on the ship, guaranteed by the cruise line, with the certificate of authenticity - not some guy in a trench coat. I was wondering were about these watches would fall on the scale? I like the look of it for sure, and it retails for $250-$300 by home in the US. I know its obviously no Rolex, and I know that Armani regular is more expensive than "exchange", but how is it considered in general? Thanks

Sheriff's candidate accused of plotting to kidnap retired judge
Thu, 31 May 2012 17:43:24 GMT —
ANDERSON, S.C. (WACH, AP) -- State Law Enforcement Division agents have arrested an Oconee County sheriff's candidate and charged him with plotting to kidnap a retired judge.
A warrant states that James Bartee solicited someone to abduct retired Circuit Judge James C. Williams Jr. to prevent him from appearing at a hearing in Anderson.
The warrant says evidence was obtained by audio recording.
Bartee is a 54-year-old retired U.S. Secret Service agent. He was arrested in Anderson where Circuit Judge Cordell Maddox was holding a hearing on an action Williams had filed questioning Bartee's eligibility to run for sheriff.
Williams contends Bartee should be removed from the June 12 primary ballot because he is not certified as a law enforcement officer in South Carolina..
The following statement was posted to the "Elect James Bartee Sheriff of Oconee County, SC" Facebook page Wednesday:
"James Bartee wants all to know that he is legally on the ballot and deserves to be on the ballot. He was certified in 1983 when he graduated from two of the finest law enforcement academies in the world, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, GA and the US Secret Service Academy in Washington, DC and Beltsville, MD. We were trained in all areas of law enforcement. I received certificates for both of these academies. Therefore, when I signed my affidavit to run for Sheriff in March of 2012, I was certified!..."
According to Fox Carolina, Bartee's attorney Stephen Brown said the case was all political and requested a personal recognizance bond, which the judge granted. His next court appearance is set for June 29 at 9 a.m. in Oconee County. After he was released on bond, Bartee said he was innocent and will be vindicated.Aaron Barker with Fox Carolina reports that Brown said Bartee made the effort to become certified by the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy, but he said the academy is not following the law when it comes to issuing the certificate."It's been a tough campaign and I have had a lot of stuff thrown at me, trying to get me off the ballot," said Bartee after his bond hearing. "Now this is the next step, just arrest me. What I'm telling you is I'm still on the ballot. It will be up to the people. Do they believe me? And the truth will come out, the full story."Brown said the issue won't be resolved until after the election is over, which is less than two weeks away."Mr. Bartee is going to be running hard for sheriff over the next several weeks and fully expects to be elected," said Brown. "Bottom line is Mr. Bartee is fully qualified to run for sheriff and serve as sheriff in Oconee County."
(The Associated Press and Fox Carolina contributed to this report.)

WASHINGTON—A few days ago I wrote you about a letter from a woman who lives near Philadelphia and unfortunately has a child who should attend a school for emotionally disturbed and retarded children. Her husband is a government employee at $5,000 a year, and she claimed that the one school she could find suitable for her purpose was the Woods School where the charges, she said, were $7,200 annually.
The school writes me that this is a mistake. And they want it corrected because they fear that many people would not inquire about their facilities at those rates. And having no endowment they must charge for the care of the children.
An authority of the school writes, "The present rates of $400 and $450 monthly will apply to our total population in September, 1959 .... One-eighth of our pupil population this year has enjoyed the benefits of some scholarship help, such funds coming from philanthropically minded people who believe in the integrity of our program.
"Further, we are entirely dependent on tuition for our operations as we have no endowment. We are engaged in an ongoing program of research in the field of mental retardation and emotional disturbance in children and are seeking funds to extend this effort."
I am quite sure that the woman who wrote to me was in no way critical of any charges made by this school and I am quite sure that what they charge they must charge in order to give the proper care.
The problem I was trying to bring out for my correspondent was the simple problem of the child needing this kind of care where the parents cannot afford any continuous high medical care for one child, without cutting down to a dangerous amount on what they can do for the home and the other children in the family. Great sacrifices are, of course, always made, and willingly made, to care for handicapped children, but it should not be done at the expense of the other children in the family.
Such schools as the Woods School need every possible support, especially for the research which they can do with financial assistance from those who realize the value of their work. But this does not meet the problem of the obligation of city and state to help care for such children as cannot be cared for by their own families.
I am told that a program at the Woods School's new child study, training, and research center should be of enormous help in meeting the the needs of this type of mentally handicapped children which must be met through research, training, treatment, education and rehabilitation. What is done at the Woods School and other similar private institutions is very helpful to any public institutions which might be established and which will probably not be able to carry out research and experiment to the same degree.

Facebook, the social-networking service that's planning an initial public offering, said a patent dispute with Yahoo could have a material impact on its business.
Yahoo sued Facebook this month alleging that the site infringes Yahoo patents related to advertising, social networking, privacy, customisation and messaging, Facebook said yesterday.
The Menlo Park, California-based company said it hasn't yet issued a response to the lawsuit.
"This litigation is still in its early stages," Facebook said in the filing. "If an unfavourable outcome were to occur in this litigation, the impact could be material to our business, financial condition or results of operations."
Facebook, the world's most popular social-networking service, is grappling with more lawsuits over intellectual property.
The company, which had about 60 US patents at the end of last year, is aiming to defend itself by bolstering its portfolio.
Facebook acquired 750 patents from IBM, a person familiar with the matter said this month.
Yahoo, the largest US web portal, has demanded that Facebook license its technology, saying that other companies have done so.
In the complaint, Yahoo asked for an order barring Facebook from infringing 10 patents and for triple damages.
At the time, Facebook said it was "disappointed" in the lawsuit and would defend itself against "these puzzling actions".
Facebook plans to raise US$5 billion ($6.1 billion) in its IPO, making it the biggest internet offering on record.
The company, which had almost US$4 billion in revenue last year, could have a valuation of US$75 billion to US$100 billion, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

important lesson learned
Well guys, I learned a valuable lesson this morning that I didn't realize I needed to re-learn.
I was out turkey hunting and it was a GREAT morning for it. The toms were sounding off early from the treetops and we had a nice gobblers within 150 yds of us on the roost. Got to see his girlfriend fly down first, within 40 yds of our decoys, then saw him fly down about 5 minutes later within 50 yds of our decoys. When he landed he was just on the other side of the ridge and on his way. He closed the distance to 30-40 yds and right before I was going to shoot, (he was coming right towards our blind) he decided to go to my right. SO, naturally, I repositioned my shotgun and here is where the problem began. When I repositioned my shotgun, I guess I didn't have it seated deep into my shoulder anymore, it was a little high on my shoulder- so, you guessed it, Mr. Scope met Mr. Forehead officially this morning. 8 stitches, a bad headache and a trip to the ER has been my fun morning. Talk about rocking my world. NEVER had a problem with this, NEVER ever done anything like this before. I feel completely dumb that I let something like this happen. Let me be the example for all of you. Seat that firearm GOOD in your shoulder before ever dreaming of firing it.
Doc says I'll get the stitches out in 5 days.... :bag:
oh boy, not a good morning Tator. I was on hand years ago when a buddy took one the same way while sighting in a rifle in PA. We were able to close up the gash with steri (spell?) strips. Just a question, do you have a long eye relief on the shotgun scope? I'm sure you do. I have read about people installing rifle scopes on shotguns and feel the pain of their mistake afterwards. Good luck on the healing up and get the tom!!!!
Ouch, :shocking: I hope you heal up and get a chance to get back out there and teach that bird a lesson in Round 2 !!!
Well the gun was actually my buddy's. My 12 gauge is not scoped and I do not plan on scoping it. Like I said, it all happened so fast and man talk about the thump on the head. No bruising or swelling (thank goodness) but now I have to deal with the uncomfortableness of stitches in my forehead. It was mixed emotions. I didn't get the bird and this happened so I was pretty ticked off. Had I got the bird, I may have made up a story about the bird attacking me and barely being able to get off a shot! :) haha
Ouch, man, sorry to hear! Glad that was the limit of your injuries.
Glad your ok buddy...just gotta regroup and go after it again...Tator, the worlds 1st full contact turkey hunter lol
Don't feel bad it happens I am afraid of it happening to me (thankfully it hasen't yet) both my brothers have done it one forgot to tighten the scope scews and scope came back like a rocket
This is one reason I use HiViz TriViz sights on our shotguns & no need to remove them for skeet or upland/waterfowl hunting
Hope you heal fast & get that bird
you weren't doing this were you?
Weather here has been bad today and tomorrow. Going to go back out Saturday morning. I'm slowly healing. Still hurts at times, but it's mostly the uncomfortableness that stinks. Can't wait to get the stitches out. I told my wife that this will never happen again. It's one of those things you look back and say "I can't believe I did that, how stupid!"
My neighbors son scoped his eye durning deer season one morning. Left a nasty shiner the to top it off his mom ( neighbors wife) went that evening and did the same and scoped herself as well. She ended up with three stitches.
I'm glad the local news didn't report that "Tom", the renegade turkey, sent another hunter to the ER when after inflicting a life threatening slash with his 2" spurs, while laying in ambush, was later heard gobbling to his lady friends about another successful trophy, the mighty Tator. That would have bad for all of us!! :tongue: Hope the healing is going well my friend.

True Republicans R Gone: I make six figures have my retirement pretty much secured. Ironic that I do not consider any of the Trump bots to be Republicans, nor do I believe McConnell and Ryan are either. Just opportunists trying to fleece America one bill at a time. I really wish there were real Republicans. But it's clear they are just con artists and liars that depend on gullible idiots to keep them in office.

This gun runs hot. And fast. And accurate. I like it. Will send it off for a decent set of sights, and it may just be my carry gun. I'd best start stockpiling 357 SIG ammo. Now I gotta get a holster. Have ordered a VMII horsehide for my 19, and that should work well for a 32. But that'll be a spell. So, am considering an Alessi PCH or a Ritchie Stakeout. Those I can have in three days out of Brownells or TGS. Would get a Sparks SSII if it was offered in black.
This gun is worthy.
I would recommend a MTAC, I have one for my Glock 23 and love it.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
I bought some Meprolite TRU DOT night sights for my G23 and had them installed by my local gunsmith. It cost less than $100. I always get Meps for night sights.
Have Fun and Shoot Straight !!
a couple of very good loads for your new boy. Heavy and fast.....lighter and faster. Choose your flavor.
Give to them according to their deeds and according to the wickedness of their endeavors; give to them according to the work of their hands; render to them their deserts. Psalm 28:4
I had 10-8 Performance sights added to my G23; plain U notch rear and brass bead front. I absolutely love the sight picture and now want blacked out rear sights on all of my guns. I may eventually add a Tritium front instead of the bead, but I'm still experimenting with that. Excellent sights and I highly recommend them.
I have a bunch of Gold Dots and some HST (old box), and can get Lawman ball for 22 bucks. May have to do some digging to find less expensive range fodder. Oh well, self inflicted.
Oh, and regarding holster carry I've been carrying AIWB a lot lately with my G23 and have been using a Dale Fricke Archangel.
I believe a set of Trijicon HDs will top this particular slide. Have Ameriglo sights on my 19. Sadly, no smiths anywhere near me for a simple sight install. Have been sending slides to a guy in Alabama. Free install with purchase, one week flip from my post office to my door.
Awesome gun. You really can from light to heavy, and mild to wild!
Enjoy the pics.

Stop whining and go do something that makes a difference!
If you think that I may be talking to you, then I am.
I have a few Glocks a 21, 22C, 26, 31 & 32! The G32 is my EDC gun & is awesome, the more you play with it the more you will keep it close!
Seems to be a lot of chatter on this site lately about the Glock .357 sig line. Gotta love it.
Here's a couple great sources for .357 sig fodder:

Of course, unless you roll your own, then you gotta check this guy out for a cheap reliable source for once fired brass:

I have been using this for a week, I really like it. Light, moisturizing, compatible with the plant oils I mix into my hands.
It smells really strongly of booze. Took me a while to figure out what that terrible smell was. Like I'm rubbing whiskey into my skin, but in one moment its completely gone. My skin looks nice, so its worth it. I appreciate that they don't add gunk to make it smell better.

The standard approach for strain development in agricultural animals has been selection and breeding utilizing genetic information from quantitative genetic analyses. With the development of genomic technologies, equivalent or greater gains in production traits can be realized in a much shorter period of time. In the process, a biological understanding of the genes that play a role in traits of interest is obtained. To this end my focus is the development of genomic tools and technologies for rainbow trout that will facilitate selective breeding for aquaculture production efficiency through marker assisted selection, genomic selection, and other molecular genetic applications such as parentage assignment, population genetic analyses, etc... Activities include development of genetic markers, genetic maps, comparative maps, identification and characterization of expressed sequence tags in support of functional genomics, characterization of candidate genes, creation of bacterial artificial chromosome libraries, and working with international collaborators towards a whole genome sequence for this species.

They may not be as fun to shake under the Xmas tree, but PBS Kids found in a recent survey of parents with kids ages 2–10 years old that more than half will be giving downloadable gifts. Maybe they don't want to face the crowds or maybe, like me, they are tired of storing the endless supply of small pieces of plastic, cases, and assorted other kibble that accumulates in the holiday season, but 58% of the 1,000 parents surveyed said they were "most likely" or "definitely" going to be purchasing downloadable gifts such as apps, games, e-books and digital music. This is on top of the 74% who will be purchasing devices and pre-loading apps. Of these, they report that 95% of parents plan to spend the same or more than last year.
The press release we got also has several recommendations for how to help your kids best enjoy their new downloads, but it's the advice to "Play Together" that I take most to heart:
56% of surveyed parents reported that they co-play mobile apps with their children "often" or "sometimes." This is a great habit to start early in a child's exposure to media. Talking with kids about the game or activity as you play offers both the opportunity to bond as a family and also identify teachable moments.
I couldn't agree more. Continue Reading "PBS Kids Sees a Downloadable Holiday Season Ahead" »

About Us
Check out our website at apl-shelter.org for all of our upcoming events and current information.
We have plenty of dogs and cats just waiting to meet you! Our adoption center is open from Noon to 5pm every day. If you see an animal on Petfinder please feel free to call our shelter at 217-544-PETS (7387) to inquire if the animal is at the shelter or in one of our foster homes. There is a simple application process that you will need to complete prior to approval for adoption.
Although we occasionally run adoption specials, our regular adoption fees for cats are $50 or two for $65. Our pricing on dogs is variable. Every animal has been spayed or neutered, microchipped, tested for heartworms or FeLV/FIV, and is current on all vaccines. That's over a $350 value!
The Animal Protective League is a 501(c) organization and operates both an animal shelter with adoption center and a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic. We are the regional leaders in ending the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets! Our limited admission shelter is unique in that we prioritize sick, injured, and abandoned animals. We also take in animals that are slated for euthanasia from local area animal control agencies and give them a second chance at life.
Our spay/neuter clinic offers affordable spay/neuter services for members of the public, as well as other humane groups within a 90 mile radius. Costs for surgery are $65 for a dog spay/neuter; $45 for a male cat neuter; $35 for a female cat spay and $25 for a feral cat. Rabies vaccines are also required and are available for $10 at the time of surgery. Due to a generous grant from PetSmart Charities we are currently able to offer free spay/neuter for cats if you live in the following zip codes within Sangamon County: 62702; 62703 and 62704. If you live within 62702 and 62703 we are also able to offer free spay/neuter for Pit Bull type dogs! Call 217-789-SPAY (7729) to schedule an appointment today!
In addition, APL runs a pet food bank, takes animals to local nursing homes for pet therapy; takes dogs into area schools for our Paws to Read program, offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities and offers humane investigations for cases of cruelty or neglect. For more information or to donate please call 217-544-PETS (7387) or visit our website at apl-shelter.org.

Report: Storm causes postponement of bounty hearing
Former NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue postponed Tuesday's appeals hearings on the New Orleans Saints bounty case because of an impending storm that is set to hit the East Coast, reports ProFootballTalk.com.
The hearing was set to be held in Washington, D.C. on Oct. 30 as Hurricane Sandy is forecasted to hit the Northeast on Monday and Tuesday. There has been no report of a makeup date.
On Friday, NFL lawyers filed a motion in U.S. District Court in New Orleans saying that Tagliabue should be allowed to hear appeals in the bounty scandal. The union has until 1 p.m. ET Monday to file its response to the motion. The four players expected to attend the hearing are Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith, Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita, and free-agent Anthony Hargrove. The Saints play in Denver Sunday night, and Fujita is on injured reserve because of an injured neck.

Technology increases at BAS
BELDING — The standard overhead projector of the past in Belding Area Schools will become just that — something of the past.
Though the bond-funded upgrades outside Belding Area Schools (BAS) buildings have been visible all summer long, many technology improvements are happening inside the buildings as well. Multimedia tools are being added to every classroom in the district.
"Our new multimedia classrooms will allow teachers to project a document onto an eight-foot projection screen, then electronically manipulate it as the students watch, said Mike Burde, Belding's director of instruction and technology. "Ultimately, our students will benefit from our multimedia tools as our teachers use them to reinforce skills and competencies demanded by the globally-competitive workplace."
The multimedia classrooms include teacher and student wireless microphones, new ceiling-mounted projectors, eight-foot screens, wireless Smart slate, a four-speaker surround sound system and wireless routers to allow students netbook Internet access.
In addition, all kindergarten through fifth-grade classrooms will be equipped with four netbooks, allowing students to have technology at their fingertips.
"By the summer of 2012, each of our students in grades sixth through 12th will have their own netbook that will be their digital textbook," said Network Engineer Ryan Kelley. "Imagine the educational power in our district with this one-to-one technology."
Teachers began the school year training with their new classroom technology, learning how best to utilize it for the success of their students.
"Our children now live in a society that is ever increasingly digital," said Superintendent Leslie Mount. "Their future will depend on their ability to embrace technology as a learning tool and adapt to the constant changes within the technological realm."
She said the district's goal is to guarantee that Belding students have and use the tools they need for today's digital world. District leaders are doing their best to help teachers adapt to the changes through training and preparation.
"It's an exciting time at (Belding schools)," Burde said. "Students will have technology at their fingertips and our teachers will have interactive tools to assist them, keeping our students at the highest level of learning."

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Nothing gets me more excited than a Brian Scalabrine three-pointer. I'll admit it's a rare sight, as Scal rarely sees actual game action. Before Tuesday night's game against the Knicks, Kevin Garnett was suspended for an "altercation" with Bucks center Andrew Bogut. In KG's place was Scal, and that set the scene for a dramatic fourth quarter shot in a 110-101 Celtics win.
Scal (8 points in 20 minutes) hit his three with just 1:14 remaining to put the Celtics up by seven after the Knicks rallied from a 15-point fourth quarter deficit. Other Celtics stepped up too, with Paul Pierce pouring in 22 points and eight rebounds. Kendrick Perkins tallied 16 points and eight rebounds while Rajon Rondo added 15 points, eight reboudns, and seven assists.
Leon Powe and Zach Randolph pushed each other underneath the basket, with the the referees issuing double-technicals as a result. It was apparent looking at the replay that they were just playing hard near the hoop while they jockeyed for position. Knowing that Randolph is a punk and Powe is a good, clean player, I imagine Randolph may have initiated the confrontation.
Wilson Chandler led the Knicks with 23 points (11-23) and seven rebounds in defeat. The aforementioned punk (Randolph) finished 18 points, eight rebounds, and a rare blocked shot (it was just his third of the season). Besides his ability to grab defensive boards, Randolph plays pretty soft for a big man.
Next up for the 10-2 Celtics is a date with the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night.

I'm curious what the community thinks –
Earlier in the week, I reported on the news that iPhone component orders were cut in half. As it turns out, the news had apparently been out there for a while and was back in the news cycle because the Wall St. Journal was reporting on it. I'm seeing a number of reports refuting that this really adds up to anything significant. In my opinion however, the points in that article still stand out and many questions remain.
still the implications of a failed iPhone 5 could be the beginning of a slip from that status, as pressures mount up from all angles of their business. In fact if we take a peek at the 6-month Apple Insider trade activity, it is very curious that there were 0 shares of stock buys by Apple insiders. There were 164,559 shares sold during the same 6 month reporting period. At the very least it indicates that Apple's value at this time is very public investor-centric, which is very fickle and reactive. The big money investors, the players play for the long term, the big picture – Is this a sign? It could easily be read into this that this is a company on edge.
There is a significance to zero shares bought by Apple insiders while reporting over 164,000 sales of shares. So there is clearly not a freeze or something I'm not aware of.
I'm sticking to my guns on this one. If there is a new announcement of a phone revision, it would have to be a mild revision, not one that would warrant a new screen. The explanation that the order numbers for parts being cut in half was due to suppliers suddenly making them better, it just doesn't wash. Not when you look at the percentage of 50% – would that mean that Apple is paying these suppliers double? Where's the impetus to make it better if orders would be cut in half?
I believe there are iPhone 5 growth challenges in obviously saturated domestic markets, and worldwide smartphone competition. Add to that what may ultimately be called a mild reception for their flagship device and the indicators easily point to the narrative of a miss on expectations. We can expect that an all-new iPhone development is rapidly on the way. Time will tell if these various predictions of doom are off by much, but it is certain that Apple is stepping up the pace and possibly scrambling to perform.

Reds' Bruce has surgery on knee cartilage
Reds right fielder Jay Bruce had surgery Monday to repair torn cartilage in his left knee and will be sidelined for about a month.
Bruce was scratched from the lineup Sunday because of a sore knee, but pinch hit and struck out during a 4-3, 10-inning win at Milwaukee. He had tests on Sunday night that detected the tear.
Manager Bryan Price moved Bruce to the cleanup spot this season, and Bruce is batting .216 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 30 games.
Center fielder Billy Hamilton missed the last three games with a sprained left hand. He is expected back for a series that starts Tuesday in Boston.
