This is a handsome book, beautifully adorned with many
fine postage-sized illustrations and one of the best kept secrets in America
-- the William R. Smith Collection of Robert Burns. This collection has been
dormant since the death of the collector in 1912, and this book has been
published in anticipation of the 250th celebration of the birth
of Robert Burns. It is one of many books you will see celebrating the birth
of Burns in the coming year.
The article on Burns is of interest to those who are not
familiar with the Masonic aspect of the poets life. Of equal note, if not
more so, is an article by Kevin Fries on the life of the collector, William.
R. Smith. Neither the collection nor the collector is well known outside the
Masonic community, so Mr. Fries basically introduces Smith to the general
public. Im sure we will hear more from Kevin Fries in the future about this
great Burnsian. I must add that the descriptions of each entry in the book
are pleasant and pleasing to the reader. One can tell that much planning and
energy went into the publication of the book. I am further compelled to say
that author Larissa Watkins has kindly answered my questions and provided
explanations where needed. I appreciate the courtesies extended to me by Ms.
Watkins during the course of writing this review.
William Robertson Smith bought his first copy of Burns
work as a young boy in Scotland, and he continued to collect Burns
throughout a long career as a horticulturalist and as Superintendent of the
National Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C. for over 40 years. From the
Burns Centenary in 1896, Smith worked with the friendly interest and
financial backing of Andrew Carnegie during the last 15 years of his life to
build a collection consisting of both Scottish books and publications by and
about Burns. The books were stored in a wee cottage on the grounds of the
Botanic Garden. According to an account in The Scottish Rite Journal,
few people were aware of the treasures stored inside the cottage.
Since becoming acquainted with the Smith Collection and
the relationship of Andrew Carnegie with William Smith, I have wondered why
the collection does not boast a Kilmarnock edition of Poems Chiefly in
the Scottish Dialect. It cannot be because there was no money
available since Mr. Carnegie, the famous Scottish-American who built many
libraries around the world, is on record as patron of the Smith Collection.
However, if Carnegie was known then as now for anything, it was for his
philanthropy, and today his foundation is valued at well over $1.3 billion.
The case of the missing Kilmarnock in the Smith Collection just doesnt make
sense to me.
Smith wanted the collection kept together after his death
and with that goal in mind, Carnegie who was appointed by Smith as a trustee
of the Burns collection, approached both the Library of Congress and the
Public Library in Washington. Ironically, there was no room in the inn,
neither of them. At times this is the case, but sometimes the no room
reply is used to not accept collections because of the strings attached to a
gift of books. Later, the decision was made to house the collection in the
newly completed House of the Temple. As Mr. Smith stipulated in his will,
the collection has been open to the public ever since, and he is on record
as stating, I am Scotch-American, and I intend that this collection shall
go to the American People.
All well and good but how do you translate his good
intentions to serve the public with the braggadocio of a few well meaning
people? In all the years I have written book reviews, I have never written a
negative review. This is my first! With that said, it is highly unusual for
me to raise a red flag about a book, but as we go along with this review,
you will see my concern.
Pay attention to the first two sentences in the books
Foreword: The Library of the Supreme Council of the Ancient & Accepted
Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A., is the repository of the most
complete collection of the literary works of Robert Burns and Burnsiana in
America. It is also important to note that this collection, known as the
William Robertson Smith Collection, is the second largest compilation of
Burns materials in the world, ranking only behind the collection maintained
in The Mitchell Library in Glasgow, Scotland.
The above noted author, editor, consultant and Grand
Master have affixed their names to this book, and I can only assume they
accept as truth these two sentences. With all due respect to them, both
sentences are flat wrong!
Where are the facts? Well, just because someone said
something years ago does not make it true today. What sort of research, if
any, was conducted by those responsible for the book to reach the conclusion
that their collection is bigger and better today than any outside Scotland?
Is this sloppy research, a lack thereof, or just plain arrogance?
I must regretfully inform them that not only is the
William. R. Smith Collection not the most complete collection of the
literary works of Robert Burns and Burnsiana in America, it is also not
the second largest compilation of Burns material in the world. That
distinction belongs to another collection that I shall tell you about as we
go along.
I have corresponded with the author about the statement
in the Foreword and Ms. Watkins answer follows: From one hand it might be
some sort of legend (everybody would like to be First, or at least Second).
From another hand it will remain a true (sic) until somebody from University
of South Carolina is going to do a comparative bibliography of Burns works
from 1786 to 1911 of G. Ross Roys Collection with our Burnsiana. If I were
a trial attorney, Id use the first part of that reply and say to the jury,
I rest my case! As to the second part of her reply, while I appreciate the
authors statement, I cannot agree that somebody from the University of
South Carolina is going (needs) to do a comparative bibliography of Burns
works. I can do it myself.
We all are capable of doing our own research if we chose.
Some do, some dont. I do. I have purchased the Smith bibliography and have
read it and referred to it numerous times. I have also studied the materials
available online about the Roy Collection. Further inquiry with personnel at
USCs Thomas Cooper Library found that a bibliography is in the process of
being prepared for publication, and I have since acquired a preliminary
copy. I have studied the two collections at length and compared them to each
other. I do not need anyone, scholar or not, to tell me the results of
something I can see for myself. The evidence is clear enough to
support the University of South Carolinas G. Ross Roy Robert
Burns Collection as the largest and most comprehensive Burns collection
outside of Scotland.
It is evident the good folks writing about the Smith
Collection were aware of the Roy Collection at the University of South
Carolina. They could have Googled the Roy Collection and found enough
information about it to have raised some caution on their part for
proclaiming the Smith collection the biggest and best. At the time of their
publication they, of course, were unable to receive a preliminary copy of
the Roy bibliography since it is just now in its pre-publishing stage.
Regardless, with the available Roy Collection information on the internet,
someone could have inquired, Are we really all that we have said we are or
has that collection down in South Carolina replaced our Burns collection as
the most comprehensive? At the very least, someone could have picked up the
phone and called the USC Thomas Cooper Library to get details on the Roy
collection. It would have saved them some embarrassment of proclaiming the
superiority of their Smith Collection. Egg on ones face is not a pretty
sight, with or without a bib!
Lets look at just a few comparisons of the two
bibliographies. First, as mentioned earlier, the Smith Collection does not
have a first edition of the 1786 Kilmarnock which they readily acknowledge.
In Chapter I of the books Bibliographical Entries entitled Works of
Robert Burns, this sentence is found: The William R. Smith Collection does
not contain the original Kilmarnock Edition. Instead, McNaughts 1909
facsimile of the 1786 Kilmarnock Edition is used as an illustration. The Roy
Collection does have a Kilmarnock Edition. It is one thing to have a
facsimile of the most coveted Burns book in the world, and it is another
thing to hold the real thing in your hands. Why is this book so important?
It is widely held by Burnsians in the know that of the 612 copies of the
Kilmarnock Edition published July 31, 1786, fewer than 70 copies are known
to survive today.
The Smith Collection does have a copy the second edition
(the 1787 Edinburgh edition of Poems Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect),
but two variants were printed that year and the Smith Collection does not
identify which of the two states is in their collection. (Nor does the
format of the book tell the reader if they have more than one copy.) The Roy
Collection has several copies of each of the two states.
Most importantly, however, I did not see in the Smith
Collection a copy of The Scots Musical Museum by James Johnson
or George Thomsons Select Collection of Original
Scotish Airs. (Yes, one t in earlier versions.) Listen up! Robert
Burns only spent the last ten years of his life collecting, writing,
modifying, mending, fixing, or rearranging these wonderful songs of
Scotland. Both the Johnson and Thomson books contained hundreds of songs by
Burns. This was his gift to his country. The Roy Collection has originals of
both. The Smith Collection has neither!
Dr. Ross Roy recently gifted over 20 original manuscripts
to the Thomas Cooper Library at the University of South Carolina. These are
original manuscripts as penned by Robert Burns himself. They consist of
letters and poems. The Smith Collection does not boast one original
manuscript or song by Burns.
There is no mention of the 1799 edition of The
Merry Muses of Caledonia being a part of the Smith Collection, nor
of any subsequent edition. The Roy Collection has one of the only two known
original copies of the 1799 edition in existence and the only one with a
complete title page. But, in deference to Mr. Smith and the times he lived,
perhaps he did not agree with that part of Burnss writing. But most Burns
scholars will agree that to know Burns, you have to know all of Burns and
bawdry songs and poems, risqu� matters for polite company, were a part of
his day and a part of his life. A coin has two sides. You cant have one
without the other. The same is true about Burns. You have to have both sides
of him to have the complete Burns.
In addition to this original copy of The Merry
Muses in the USC Thomas Cooper Library, there are 18 other editions,
states, and variant printings of The Merry Muses on the market
before 1912, the year of Mr. Smiths death. So, copies of this book were
available for Mr. Smith to collect, as was the Kilmarnock, had he chosen to
do so. Remember, Mr. Carnegie was his patron.
There is a great section of the Smith bibliography
dealing with so-called Chapbooks, small paperbacks geared for the average
mans income, and the Smith Collection lists 241 of them. The problem is
that they only contain a few about Burns, and I am being lenient on that
point. I actually found only two with Burns name in the title. A few others
had a song or a poem in the contents. It would be best suited to list the
chapbooks as part of a Scottish Collection, not Burns.
Lets look briefly at both bibliographies. Mr. Smiths
bibliography consists of 161 pages (8�x11) sans index, and Dr. Roys
bibliography has 378 pages (6x9) sans index. The Smith Collection has 1,202
total Burns items (again some, as in the chapbook section, are not about
Burns, so you could easily drop that number to around a thousand and that is
being generous) while the Roy Collection has over 5,200 on Burns alone. The
total Scottish collection of Mr. Smith is 5,500 while the Roy Collection has
over 20,000 total Scottish volumes.
I could go on about the differences of the two
collections but there is no need. I inquired of Ms. Watkins if the Smith
Collection had remained dormant since Mr. Smith passed away in 1912 or if
additional books had been purchased or given to the collection. Yes, this
collection remained dormant was her reply. Suffice it to say that the Roy
Collection is on-going, vibrant, alive, and has been endowed by Dr. and Mrs.
Roy to continue acquiring Burns items in the future. Just recently a replica
of the skull of Burns was added to the collection. It was brought back to
America from Scotland by the 84-year-old emeritus professor himself. And I
feel it is a safe bet that something has been added to his collection as
youve read this article.
Let me say I am not a Mason and certainly have no quarrel
with this worthy organization. I have the highest respect for the Masons,
and I am aware of the good works they have performed around the world in the
name of humanity and have admired their benevolence and generosity over the
years. I am aware of the high regard Robert Burns had for the Masons and his
involvement with them. But this review is not about good works, it is about
sloppy research. To put it simply, in this case, someone somewhere did not
do their homework.
Andrew Carnegie was a friend of Mr. Smith, a patron of
his collection, and some say he is the one who supposedly proclaimed the
Smith Collection the best outside of Scotland. I have been unable to locate
that quote from Carnegie, and in a follow-up email with Mr. Fries, who wrote
the books refreshing article on Mr. Smith, I learned neither has he.
I discovered, however, in the January 1997 publication of
the Masons The Scottish Rite Journal that the Librarian of
the Edinburgh Public Library and his associates came to the United States to
catalog the Smith Collection soon after it was moved to Alexandria. They
stated, We are impressed by the number and rarity of its editions which are
beyond what is in the British Museum and exceeded only by the Mitchell
Library collection in Glasgow. It probably was true when the collection
first opened to the public in 1919 but is not the case now, nearly a hundred
years later, no matter who says it, Grand Master, librarian or common
Mr. Shaw,
you so much for mentioning our catalog on
electricscotland website. In response, I would like to
present my own personal viewpoint concerning your comments.
I am
sorry for having my Russian mind upside-down, but I didnt see a
book review in your piece at all. What I did see was a quite unfair
attack only on the two first sentences of Mr. Elias introduction
(what if Akram would have written that our collection is 25th
on the rank?). What would be the point of your review then? Why
then the high appraisal for Roys collection be
necessary? After all, a University Library is an academic Library,
and its primary goal is to continue to collect what ever the
collection might be for the sake of education.
yes, we might argue on details and we might show how smart we are to
do our own comparative biography, etc., but in this particular case
we should be more aware and more sensitive about the spiritual value
of this enterprise. We would be missing the main point love to
Rabby Burns!
understand the overall situation here to be a little bit different.
I am not a Great Scot, but I am proud for the Fraternity, which one
hundred years ago accepted this collection and continues to
preserves it in one of the most beautiful rooms in the House of the
Temple. I am proud for the Fraternity, which found it possible to
publish a beautifully illustrated catalog as a token of high
respect, admiration, and love for Robert Burns the epitome of the
Spirit of the Scottish Nation. I am proud of my colleagues, who
expressed their brotherly veneration for Robert Burns (in this
context their sloppy research should be forgiven.)
understand - you are a Great Scot and your independent nature calls
you to fight despite of the fact that there are no enemies around,
only friends.
However, I want to believe that you do like our catalog, because it
connects the name of Robert Burns with two great Presidents of our
country Washington and Lincoln.
want to believe that you do like our catalog, because it introduced
you to another Great Scot William Robertson Smith and his amazing
gift to all of us.
want to believe that you do like our catalog, because of the dozens
of images which are dearest to your soul and let you emotionally be
more close to Rabby and to your
want to believe that you do like our catalog, because it gives you a
rare opportunity to enjoy quotations from dozens of books about
Robert Burns, and let your heart respond in admiration for him.
importantly, I want to believe well remain friends, because of our
mutual affection to Caledonia Bard!
very best wishes for Happy, Healthy, and Prosper New Year,
It has always been my
desire to be as fair as possible to any book I review and that goes for
the author as well. It is for this reason that I elect to print this
response to the review from the author. My final remarks on this subject
is that The Smith Collection in Washington, D. C. is a first class
collection, top drawer, one to be proud of and one of the finest in the
world. BUT, it is a long way from being the top Burns Collection in
America, and neither does it rank just behind the collection at the
Mitchell Library in Glasgow. It may have at one time but today that
honor belongs to the G. Ross Roy Collection at the
University of South Carolina and I challenge anyone to
make an item by item comparison and come up with a different conclusion.
I again extend my thanks to the author, Ms. Larissa Watkins for her many
courtesies and help while writing the review and to Ms. Jeri Walker for
supplying the pictures used in the article. (FRS: 1.05.08)

SOURCE: Annual Uniform Crime Report, Crime and Accident Statistics provided by Crown Point Police Chief Pete Land
Updated: March 4, 2014 6:12AM
CROWN POINT — An increased focus on patrol raised the number of traffic stops and subsequent tickets by about 50 percent in 2013 while overall criminal charges in
the city went up a nominal 5 percent over 2012.
Police Chief Pete Land this week released the department's annual summary of Uniform Crime Reports and Crime and Traffic Data for 2013 showing what type of criminal activity was occurring in the city.
In 2013 there were 1,101 total criminal charges filed in the city, 56, or 5 percent more than where filed in 2012.
The city saw one murder in 2013 and one traffic fatality in 2013 after a year that saw no loss of life in 2012. There was one armed robbery, consistent with 2012, and there were no rapes in 2013 versus two reported in 2012.
"The two reported violent crimes, one homicide and one armed robbery, resulted in the arrest of the suspect in both cases by our Investigations Unit," Land said.
There was an 8 percent decrease in the overall number of reported property thefts and vehicle thefts, with the reported number of cases of battery and assaults remaining consistent. The police department saw an increase in the overall number of burglaries reported.
Statistics include burglaries to businesses, private residences, fenced storage yards and residential and commercial storage sheds.
The most significant changes in activity could be found in the patrol division.
"One of the priorities going into 2013 was to increase our agency's overall level of traffic enforcement throughout the city," Land said in the report.
Three new officers were hired in 2013 and assigned to the patrol division, bringing the department staffing to 44. There are 20 officers assigned to the Uniform Patrol Division and four assigned to the Investigations Unit, numbers that represent 78 percent of the force.
An ongoing change within the agency will increase that number to 80 percent with a 31st officer assigned to the patrol division.
Traffic stops went up 56 percent in 2013 over 2012, from 2,589 to 4,770. There were 2,593 tickets issued in 2013 versus 1,326 in 2012, a 49 percent increase. Officers also issued 1,432 warnings in 2013, almost double the 709 issued in 2012. The increase in tickets and warnings corresponds with the increase in number of overall stops.
"The goal was not to necessarily issue more tickets but to increase our overall visibility on the city's streets ... ," Land said, adding that a traffic stop for a simple infraction often can lead to arrests for other crimes such as drug possession and driving under the influence or the recovery of stolen items.

A recent poll purported to have found 57 or so percent of US voters would now vote for Mitt Romney if they had the chance, whereas only 26 or so percent would vote for Barack Obama. Assuming these percentages are representative of the actual percentages among the population, so what? Who cares whether voters would now vote for Romney or Obama. Such percentages tell you little or nothing about the relevant underlying issue: how well Obama has performed and how well Romney would have performed had he been elected. Continue reading

Probably most Earthlings think of Americans as US citizens, but anyone living on an American continent, North, Central or South, is an American; and there is a major difference between Americans descended from Americans living in America before 1492 and Americans descended from Americans originating in Europe and Africa, or from anywhere else on Earth, America being the melting pot of Earth.

Having voted for Obama, I was surprised when he came up with his my2k idea as a Christmas gift for middle and lower class US citizens in the last week or so, basically a red herring in my opinion, focusing on saving $2,000 or so per middle class family in 2013 by not falling off the so-called fiscal cliff, requiring cutting a deal around Christmas time with John Boehner and his grim unmerry band of know nothing Republican tea party Grinches in the House, who are determined to make the poor suffer if their rich Scrooge-like sugar daddies in the upper class have to pay a penny more in taxes, shamelessly violating, so they seem to think, the gift their Santa Claus lobbyist, Grover Norquist, gave to them to sign on a snowy night before their cheery fireplaces, a pledge never to increase the taxes of the elite rich for any reason, to receive wonderful Christmas presents from the elite rich every Christmas.

An iconic American farmhouse gets an elegant restoration.

Where they could, Drummond and Martin salvaged the old materials. The siding, for example, is the original mahogany shiplap siding; Drummond found a local Amish sawmill the could copy the existing siding for a perfect match on the addition. "I tried very desperately to maintain all the visual things I loved about the house," says Drummond, "while bringing it up to our standards for living in the modern world."

Etiquette Lesson: The dos and don'ts of Valentine's Day
Brendon Thorne/Getty Images
A florist prepares a bunch of roses as Sydneysiders prepare for Valentine's Day on February 12, 2014 in Sydney, Australia. St. Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine began as a celebration of the early Christian Saint Valentinus. From the 18th Century onwards it has steadily transformed into a celebration of romantic love and sentiment in many countries around the world.
Valentine's Day is upon us, and while February 14th is usually a time for grand expressions of love, what should you do if you're in a new relationship? Or what should you do if you've been married for decades? And how to do not alienate your single friends?

January 2013 – January 2014
KC Ice Bowl 2013
Ice Bowl follows these rules: No Postponements, No Cancellations, No Wimps, No Whiners!
Every January and February, in cities and towns across North America and a few in Europe, Ice Bowls are held to raise money for charities, most of which help fight hunger. The 232 Ice Bowl events in 2012 raised over $300,000. Since 1996, over $2 million have been raised via Ice Bowl® disc golf tournaments.
Last year's Kansas City Ice Bowl raised a total of $8,000, which was split equally between Harvesters and Bishop Sullivan Center. This year's goal is $10,000.
The 26th Annual KC Ice Bowl is produced by the Kansas City Flying Disc Club, and will once again feature casual competition, lunch, and fun.
Volunteers and Donations
Volunteers are needed to help the weekend of the event. If you are interested in helping out- even if it's just a few hours, please contact Ben Crosby. Phone: 785-393-1555 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We encourage the KC disc golf community to download and print the Pledge Sheet and ask your friends and family to help out by pledging money for each hole you play at Ice Bowl.
We also depend on donated prizes for the CTP Contest, such as new discs, clothing, gift certificates, or most anything that people might like to win. Bring donations to the Ice Bowl, to Disc Golf World, or to Ben Crosby.Pledge Sheet
The standard $16 entry includes a hot stamped commemorative DX disc, nested mini set, lunch on Sunday, and at least $8 to our charities. You may choose another disc for your entry disc by paying the upgrade charge listed on the registration form.
Registration available at Disc Golf World
The best way to sign up is to visit Disc Golf World because you can pick up your player's package disc and mini set, as well as purchasing clothing, other plastic, CTP tickets, and mulligans. All purchases enhance our charitable donations.
If you can't make it to DGW, you can call 816.471.3472 and register with a bank card. Or you can fill in your registration form and mail it, along with a check to 509 E 18th St, KCMO 64108. Or you could fill at an entry and then scan it with payment information to email@example.com. Or you can fax your entry to 816.471.4653. In these cases, you will pick up your schwag at the Ice Bowl, unless you want to stop by to pick it up earlier.
Registration Form
Can't Play This Year? Why Not Make a Donation?
CTP Tickets and Mulligans
A KC Ice Bowl tradition is the ongoing CTP (closest-to-the-pin) contest. Last year's top prize was a target. A person may only win one prize with the winner choosing first from the prize table. There might be a raffle this year as well. If this happens, your ticket can be used for either activities. Another tradition is the use of mulligans during the first round. All the money from these activities go directly to our charities.
When Are You Playing?
There is competition at the Ice Bowl, and even though it's not to be taken too seriously, we still want as many people as possible to play at least one round of golf on Saturday or Sunday morning. For those who want the chance to win something, the nine-hole "money" round is played Sunday afternoon. Players are ranked by their scores from the first round, which means you'll be very closely matched with the others on your card. You'll be told which nine holes you'll play. The player on each card with the best total score wins a DX disc. The person with the very best score is the Ice Bowl Champion and gets to keep the traveling trophy for one year.
Potluck Lunch and Chili Contest
One of the best traditions of the KC Ice Bowl is bringing food to share, especially chili, which automatically gets entered into the Chili Contest, which awards a grand prize. Is your chili the best?! Bring out a crock or 2 and let's find out. Contact Rhonda Crosby at 785-424-3672 for more information on the chili contest.
Calling all volunteers (adults, teens & kids 7 yrs+) to help clean up litter/debris and low brush/dead limbs toward the safety & beautification of Water Works Park.
KCMO Parks & Recreation staff will provide 2-3 crew members, trash bags, work gloves of several sizes, various tools & equipment, and trucks to haul it all away.
Please bring your own hats, sunscreen, bug spray, work gloves, bypass pruners, long-handled loppers, and manual hand saws if you have them. Bring your drinks & snacks in a cooler if you so desire. A public drinking fountain and a port-a-potty are available in the Park.
Some parking is available within the Park; overflow parking is available in Cerner's surface parking lot (former Farmland facility) on N. Oak Trfwy just east across the street from the N. Oak entrance to Water Works Park.
If you know of a youth group that is interested in a community service day, they would be most welcome.
Please contact Patsy at 816-454-0874 for additional information.
In case of a rain-out, alternate cleanup day will be held the following Saturday, Sept. 28, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
All KCFDC club members are welcome and encouraged to attend. We value your ideas and feedback. Members do not have voting rights but are allowed to participate in conversation.

The 27th Annual Kansas City Ice Bowl
The Kansas City Ice Bowl is held every year in January at Rosedale Park. Its purposes are raising funds to fight hunger, having fun, and connecting our disc golf community in a positive way to the community at large. Our goals this year are to have 500 participants and to raise $10000 for our traditional charities: the Bishop Sullivan Center's St James Food Pantry and Harvesters: the Community Food Network.
While the emphasis of the KC Ice Bowl is on charity and fun, we want as many disc golfers to play at least one, and hopefully, both rounds. This is how it works. You need to post an 18-hole score on either of Rosedale Park's courses to qualify to play the nine-hole final round.
Saturday, 9 am: Shotgun start: Rosedale Top Course.
Saturday, 1 pm: Shotgun start: Rosedale Top Course
Saturday, 8am – 3pm: Flex start: Down Under
Sunday, 8am – 10 am: Flex start: Top or Down Under
You need to turn your first-round scorecard in no later than 12:30 pm on Saturday.
Unlimited mulligans are for sale to be used during the first round only. Their use is highly encouraged as all mulligan proceeds go to our charities. In fact, we challenge you to buy an Ice Bowl Championship!

A short but suitably warped account of the love affair between the painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) and a small-time criminal named George Dyer (Daniel Craig), who was to model for some of Bacon's most convulsive works. The action, for what it's worth, starts in 1963 and ends in 1971, but the director, John Maybury (a disciple of Derek Jarman), is only fitfully tempted by the demands of plot. He prefers to function in impressionistic bursts; we get a series of flickering, semi-linked scenes in which Bacon gambles, brushes his teeth with bleach, drinks with his appalling cronies, braces himself for masochistic sex, and even occasionally begins to paint-although, since the film was forbidden to show any authentic Bacons, he never gets very far. What rescues the enterprise from indulgence is, first, the audacity of Jacobi's performance, with its blend of caution and abandonment, and then Maybury's honorable attempt not so much to mimic the blurting violence of Bacon's imagery as to suggest the ways in which it was triggered by ordinary life. If only someone had given as much thought to the script. -Anthony Lane Copyright © 2006 The New Yorker

Two bumbling police deputies in a small town learn that the governor of the state needs law enforcement officers to volunteer for an undercover assignment. They accept the challenge of posing as criminals and going into a maximum security prison to find and retrieve stolen government money. The governor is the only other person who knows their true identities, and soon after the job begins, he dies. ~ Baseline StudioSystems

THE HUNTSMAN Prequel Set For April 2016, THE MUMMY Moves to June
by Evan Dickson Posted 144 days ago
I never saw Snow White and the Huntsman, it just didn't seem like my thing. Which makes it kind of hard for me to be interested in a followup or spin-off aside from the fact that one of my favorite directors, Frank Darabont, will be helming it (he also did the newest draft of the script). But it's coming anyway, and now we get the news that this new film, called The Huntsman, is actually a prequel (which makes more sense). And yes, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron will be returning (although Kristen Stewart won't). The new film hits on April 22nd, 2016.
Yesterday we also got the news that Alex Kurtzman would be directing The Mummy reboot, part of a larger cinematic universe for Universal. That film has now moved to get out of The Huntsman's way and will come out on June 24th, 2016. Hit the jump for more on The Huntsman release date and what lays ahead in the film.

Historical Traveller Reviews of Waikiki Shore Hotel
'from A TripAdvisor Member
View of trees onlyfrom A TripAdvisor Member
book it advertised ocean view front. After several phone calls and
great disappointment shared with front desk they moved us the next day.
I think they give this room to who yells the least. Who was truly wrong in all this was book it because their web site shows pictures of what your view should be. The front desk staff were great.
Loved the views from the Waikiki Shorefrom A TripAdvisor Member
We had no problem finding the place because we used Ilama Transfers from the airport - they greeted us with leis and walked us through the airport to retrieve our luggage, then delivered us directly to Waikiki Shore's front door. Would definitely use them again - a lot less stress compared to renting a car and driving.
Recommendations for nearby places - the Shorebird restaurant in the Outrigger next door (excellent breakfast buffet overlooking the ocean), the Sand Bar (their delicious Sand Blaster drinks) located at the Sheraton, the Hilton Hawaiian Village (penguins and pink flamingos), and Cruisin' Hawaii (for incredible Harley Davidson daily rentals).
Thanks to everyone for all the advice.
loved the castle but oh so hard to findfrom daylilly
A Very Nice Place to Stay as a Familyfrom A TripAdvisor Member
A couple of notes to anyone thinking of booking at this condo. First of all, do not count on two bedrooms, even if that is what you book. There was one bedroom and a larger living area. The King bed was in the larger living area with an accordion wall to seperate it from the living room and kitchen. However, our accordion wall was only wide enough to cover half the space and it left about 8 inches open at the bottom. We didn't even bother because it provided absolutely no privacy. Also, the condo indicates that it has full maid service. It does not. We were lucky to get our towels changed daily (they took towels one day without replacing them and the front desk refused to deliver towels later). They emptied the garbage cans every other day and sometimes made the beds. They did not sweep, vacuum, wipe counters or table. You have to pay for your parking and the stalls are extremely small.
That said, it still was an economical place to stay, it was clean, safe, and we loved it. It was a bit noisy due to traffic, but no more so than any other city-center hotel we've ever used. The location on the beach was ideal and the location made finding restaurants and shopping a quick walk away from home. We would definitely stay there on our next trip to Hawaii.

Nice hotelfrom Hawaiifan
Very nice accommodations, rather noisy, thoughfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The front desk personnel is helpful.
Also there is a $12 per night charge to park your car in their lot. You can try to park elsewhere, but free parking is just about non-existent in that Waikiki area.
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTICfrom jodieg29
Accomodations very good, beach a letdownfrom Seekinsunshine
If it's your first time to a tropical beach, you might be impressed with Waikiki. But after visiting other islands and other beaches, Waikiki is too commercial, and very small by comparison.
Top Local Tips for Honolulu
Honolulu Pick your hotel location very carefully. There are nice areas but most of Honolulu is a slum. I have never seen so much graffiti or so many homeless people in my life. Honolulu is obviously not worried about either issue and the city is dirty and did not feel safe outside of the Waikiki beach area.
Getting around the island We had a car to get around. It's a great freedom and convenience but at times the bus would have made more sense to go to places like Waimae where parking was somewhat difficult. We got lucky! Plan your road trips with buses in mind too!
Snorkling on Oahu We really had a lot of fun there. It was free and we saw a multitude of fish and my dd's also saw a sea turtle which they were hoping to see. There isn't much of a beach, it's a lot of rocks and not much beach and it's not really sandy more of a rock type "sand" if you will. It was a little bit of a climb down there so if your not up to that you may want to go to Haunauma Bay instead which is also nice, but does cost a small fee of $5.00 per person over 13 I believe) and $1.00 to park. And it's a really place as well, you will have to watch a 8 minute video before they will let you go down but it's kind of interesting and has plenty of stuff you should know before you go down. There is a really nice beach there for the family to play on and have fun, my 2 year old ds loved it there and tried to body surf.

When building a custom UIViewController, I recommend against adding 'uncontrolled' views to your controller's view, and instead invest a little extra time taking UIViewControllers and adding their 'controlled' views to your 'controlled' view, and then forward all appearance and rotation messages to your child view controllers. Doing so will ensure that if you ever decide to scrap the parent view controller or make vast amount of changes to it, your code will be isolated into your UIViewControllers.

Hi Folks!
Welcome to Kathleen's Knit-a-Long, where we'll knit a project together and share photos, discuss issues we might be having with the pattern, and celebrate our victories.
The first pattern is a sock pattern, Monkey Socks by Cookie A. I'll be using Jitterbug by Colinette in colorway 131, Ischia. It's a beautiful 100% merino in a blend of blues and greens.
Let's cast on!
Just read that you're our new editor -- congrats!!!
The monkey socks have been on my list - perhaps now is the time to try them.
take care,
Hi Bonnie,
Now is the time. I'm going to cast on tomorrow, so join me!
Hi Kathleen!
I'm looking forward to doing this kal. I've worked this pattern before and it makes a lovely sock!
I've just started knitting socks--they are so fun! I was not able to download the pattern for some reason nor was I able to view the video on knitting stripes in the round. Have other people had problems with this? Congrats to becoming editor of Knitting Daily. Love it!!
Adele R.
Where do I find the pattern for the Monkey sox? I haven't seen them so I don't know if the're cute or not.
Where do I find the pattern for the Monkey sox? I haven't seen them so I don't know if the're cute or not.
Barbara, if you read Kathleen's posting, the words "monkey socks" are in blue. If you hover your mouse over the words, you will find you can click on them which opens another page with a link. Just click on "download" and then all is revealed!
I'm casting on tonight but haven't a clue what yarn to use as my yarn collection is the size of a small mountain range - all part of the fun!
And welcome Kathleen!
Congratulations and welcome, Kathleen! I won't be knitting along but I'm going to follow the posts for any tips you have. I wondered,however, if you would consider doing a KAL for toe-up socks. I started a pair more than a year ago and I'm stuck on the heel turn.
Hi Adele,
Our customer service people will help you get your tech issues straightened out, but here's a possible work-around in the meantime.
If you go under Patterns on the Knitting Daily site and choose Knitting Daily TV, look through the patterns until you find Monkey Sock (I think it's on page 3 or so) and try to download it fromt there. I think the original pattern was on Knitty.com, too.
Click on the link in my first post. They ARE cute. :)
I'll put that in the hopper, Kathryn. Thanks for the suggestion.
I am excited because I did one of these and have been meaning to pick them up again and haven't. So now I will and see if I can photograph and get the picture up as well. Have never done a KAL before and now must be the time. Congratulations on your new job Kathleen, I wish you well.
OK - I'm in! I have been wanting to do something like this for awhile anyhow, and using some of the sock yarn I have accumulated is well past due. It isn't my fault that sock yarn leaps into my checkout basket everywhere I go, is it? I have even learned to not GO to the back of my LYS because that is where the troublesome stuff is, and yet, when I am going to pay a visit, some special yarn is on sale and up front and woosh! into my basket it goes. My daughter thinks it is wrong that I store unknit sock yarn in my sock drawer. Her belief is that I am hiding it from my husband; I contend that the yarn needs inspiration to become the perfect sock.
I haven't been able to view the video on knitting stripes in the round either. I hope that Knitting Daily will be able to figure this out and fix it.
I just finished a pair of he monkey socks by Cookie. They turned out fantastic and were great fun!

Handy discusses a unique aspect of his sound, the night Mingus made a scene listening to him play, and the frustrations he faced recording his first album.

The performance will be coupled on CD with Rollins' debut at Carnegie 50 years ago for a Voice of America concert. In the meantime, a previously…
Reports have been circulating on the Internet for the past several days that bassist Art Davis had passed away–confirmation now from the Los Angeles Times. Some good discussion ongoing over at Organissimo about Davis' work with Max Roach, John Coltrane…
