You are here
After spending the past 53 weeks living out of a suitcase while wandering across five continents, former society editor Ida Becker was happy to stand in for Charleston society editor Bryan Hunter at this oh-so-fashionable event during Charleston Fashion Week.
It's an admittedly gloomy world at the moment, but the color and creativity coursing through Marion Square is a distraction worth its weight in this season's trendy, oversized baubles. In its third incarnation, Charleston Fashion Week has landed squarely on the bon ton map, and, like moths to a flame, a coterie of beautiful, enterprising people have made the tents the place to be this week.
Lest you think it's utterly irrelevant to exalt apparel, let me assure you that it's not all paparazzi flashes and "who's in the first row?" On Friday, local handbag luminary Mary Norton spearheaded Catwalk for Kids, a luncheon that benefitted MUSC Children's Hospital. For many years, Mary has shared her design talent with young patients, bringing purse forms and embellishments to the hospital's atrium, where she hosts her own form of art therapy.
In her tear-stained opening remarks, Mary (who has an autoimmune disorder known as Lupus) credited the courageous spirit of those ailing children as a source of personal inspiration and renewal, especially in the early days of her fledgling business. Her comments struck a resonate chord: When you stop to consider what a child with stage four cancer faces on a daily basis, our passing distractions seem incredibly insignificant.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Under the direction of Heather Barrie Ahern, a team of magic elves had worked long past the witching hour on Thursday night in order to transform the Charleston magazine CFW runway tent into a more intimate venue, while everyone's favorite tattooed maverick with a heart of gold, Chef Brett McKee of Oak Steakhouse, supplied the luncheon fare.
A galaxy of Lowcountry headliners paraded into the tent for the inaugural event: everyone from my fun-loving, traveling buddy and official luncheon hostess, Terri Henning, to Joe Norton, Mary's suave husband. Helen Hill, fresh as spring in a stunning green suit; Jan Lipov, who always has a warm embrace and heartfelt sentiment to share; Kimberly McKee, dressed in a bright yellow blouse that matched her wonderfully sunny personality; Cassie Baker Dulaney, eight months with child and aglow; and the fabulously irreverent Truman Smith were among the familiar Fete Set faces that populated the well-heeled crowd.
A brief runway show by Saks Fifth Avenue previewed trends forecasted for the season ahead, and then complete mayhem broke out. No, Holly Golightly did not mine her next husband-to-be prospect from Vince Marino's table. Truman Capote did not make off with Meredith Dunnan's scarf. Bianca Jagger did not ride through the tent on a white horse. It was better—way better.
Doug Warner, beefcake that he is, came strutting down the runway in a pair of pink and black pumps that rendered the crowd momentarily speechless. The voice of the charity circuit, Mr. Warner lends his auctioneering talents to many local nonprofits. There is no better, more entertaining, or more charming boulevardier than Mr. Warner.
The gusto that followed the split second hush, that followed sight of him wearing heels, was deafening. After auctioning handbags created by Children's Hospital patients, Warner took off his garish heels and, well, he attempted to sell those, too. Despite the $9.99 price tag still affixed to the left sole, they fetched a whopping $1,500 thanks to the pair of Mary Norton heels that were added to the impromptu lot. Have you see her new line of shoes? Move over, Choo; Mary's kicks are bellissimo! Thanks, Mary, for the $100 gift certificates you shared with attendees!
It takes a lot to upstage Doug Warner, but the undertow of excited chatter escalated to a frenzied pitch as time drew near for the event's main attraction, a performance by a legend who needed no further introduction after Mary said these three words: Mr. Las Vegas.
With a gold microphone in his hand and a twinkle in his eye, Wayne Newton delighted the crowd with a medley of his favorite songs. Charming quips punctuated his act, and a poignant moment occurred when he serenaded Gary Edwards' spunky, young daughter. A triumphant survivor in the truest sense of the word, she is gearing up for another battle after doctors recently discovered a cancerous nodule on her lung during a post treatment scan. Yet, the smile never left her face on Friday. Keep the faith, Gary: You have an entire community that supports you and your family.
Wayne rounded out his performance with his hit, "Danke Schoen", and he expressed his desire to donate his time and talent again next year to the second Catwalk for Kids. After this year's rousing success, next year's affair is sure be one hot ticket. (The Newton family appeared to be enjoying their time in our fair city. On Saturday, Matthew Renken and I found Joe (Norton) at the Market Street TBonz, where he was waiting for Mary and the Newtons to wrap up a carriage tour. Wayne ebulliently thanked the tour guide as he climbed off the buggy, so thumbs up on local hospitality.)
As Catwalk for Kids concluded, I waved farewell to Sally Weil, Catherine Dority, Martha Bratton, Andy Rankin, and a whole host of friends whom I've missed during my year away, and I flitted toward the exit before Mr. Warner could commandeer my camera and delete the evidence of his walk on the wild side.
Gift bags laden with cosmetic treats and a trinket-sized box containing adorable miniature red velvet cupcakes awaited departing guests, many of whom returned several hours later for the third night of megawatt runway shows.

It's time to give up on the record store for good. Even if you're in love with strolling among racks and racks of CDs, the smell of vinyl, and salespeople who can tell rattle off the name of every obscure indie band ever to pass through town, the future of music undoubtedly lies online. But you don't need to turn to the dark side of piracy (or even paying money, necessarily) to get your music fix on the Web. We've rounded up ten of our favorite online music sites, each one of which offers something unique in its own right. So unplug the headphones, turn up the volume and read on.
Despite the fact that it didn't make it's debut in the US until 2011, Spotify has been a big player in the music streaming game for years. It works much like its competitor services GrooveShark and Rdio, allowing you to stream music for free from its huge digital library. It can also be used to generate radio-like playlists based on your preferences and can connect with Facebook so that you can see what your friends are listening to. The free version gets you a limited amount of streaming and a few ads, but Spotify also offers Unlimited and Premium accounts that are ad-free and relatively cheap.
Any number of online music sites can deliver streaming music at the press of a button, but Pandora offers something unique: It knows what you want to hear. The entire Pandora library has been cataloged by music qualities, allowing you plug in a title or artist and hear songs in the same vein without any effort on your part. And if you want to refine the playlist, a simple thumbs up or thumbs down on songs will let Pandora further tailor its automatically generated playlists to your tastes.
While it might not be the best choice if you want to hear all your current favorites, The Hype Machine is an awesome music discovery site that's unmatched when it comes to finding hot new tunes. The site keeps track of thousands of music blogs and lists new tracks that people are buzzing about around the web. The more times a song has been blogged about, the higher it rises on THM's charts. It's got a wonderfully clean interface and tons of customizable features. It's definitely worth a look.
Grooveshark is a web-based music streaming service that's comparable to Pandora and Spotify. Back in the site's infancy, it was just a simple music streaming service, but over the years it's developed a bunch of sweet features that make it incredibly useful. It boasts a massive library of free-to-stream tunes and allows users to do things like make and share playlists, subscribe to other users' steams, and browse charts. GrooveShark can also generate playlists for you based on what you like or dislike, which makes it great for music discovery as well.
Ever wish you could follow all your favorite musicians and whenever they release a new track it would instantly show up in your feed? That's exactly how SoundCloud works. Once you make an account you can follow any other user, whether they happen to be a musician, a blogger, or just one of your friends. Any time they post a new tune, it's delivered to your dashboard so you can play it immediately. In addition to acting like a musical inbox of sorts, you can also use SoundCloud to browse tracks by genre or popularity. The site has been around for a few years and attracted millions of users, so there's plenty to browse.
Shuffler.fm is a music discovery service that takes a somewhat unconventional approach. Rather than using a database of collected tunes on a dedicated site, Shuffler is something like a music player that's part StumbleUpon and part Pandora. All you have to to is choose the genre of music you'd like to hear and Shuffler will whisk you away to an tune embedded in a random blog post. The best part is that it has an extremely minimalist design that doesn't dominate the page, and it allows you to explore the blog you're on without stopping the track.
Big sites like Spotify and Pandora are great, but they typically fall short when it comes to featuring and supporting independent artists. TheSixtyOne is a site similar to Pandora, but it focuses on music created by independent musicians. Not only is it a great place to go if you're looking to find new and undiscovered artists, but it has some unique gamification features, social features and customization options that make it a joy to use. Our favorite feature is one that lets you change the music according to the mood or feel it has. You can set it to things like mellow, trippy, party, or crazy, just to name a few. Oh, and did we mention the gorgeous full-page interface?
Studio tracks are all well and good, but if you're looking for a quick way to check out bootlegs, music videos, fan covers and other rarities, nothing beats YouTube for sheer selection. Catch anything from bizarre fan-made Radiohead videos to epic live footage of Jimi Hendrix – for free. Not to mention that the availability of music on YouTube that's posted in high-quality continues to grow, so finding stuff that's worthy of being played on your massive Harmon Kardon speakers is increasingly easy.
You won't find the local bands that play at music festivals, bars and small shows on any of these other online music sites, but you will find them on MySpace, which has become the de facto promotion tool of choice for up-and-coming bands everywhere. Each artist page hosts a handful of free sample tracks from bands big and small, and a partnership with SnoCap even allows you to buy individual tracks from albums you might never get a chance to buy in person. The social networking aspect of the site also makes it easy to jump from band to band and hunt down new music based on what you already enjoy.
Somewhere between the randomness of discovering new music on the radio and the tediousness of researching new bands manually lies Last.fm. The site automatically keeps track of what you're listening to on its player to both recommend more music you might like, and to let other users know what's popular. Even better, you can view commentary on individual tracks to read what other people think about the tracks you know and love.
Looking for free music you can listen to with or without an internet connection? Check out our guide to the best free music download sites.

Interesting Pearl Gourami Behavior!
Hey Guys,
So my pair of pearls in my 55 community are starting to put on quite a show!. Ive had them since they were juveniles which was about 8 months ago and now that they have matured together they are starting to really color up and I think they might mate relatively soon. I have never had pearls breed in a tank but the male is getting that classic deep red color on his neck and they occasionally circle each other. Hes also been at the surface alot trying to make bubbles. The weird part is the female is trying to make bubbles alittle to? Has anyone else experienced this? I thought this was the males job but apparently the female wants to help lol? It is just amazing how colorful the male has become such a beautiful sight.
Got any pictures? I would love to seeMy therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

I feel like I'm living in the Northwest this week. Plenty o rain.
I feel like I'm living in the Northwest this week. Plenty o rain.
You'll be sorry, Pee-Wee Herman!
Hot, it's been over 100 degrees every day this week.
May the force be with you.
It rained really, really lightly on me while I was out pitching today.
It's been gray skies all day, but the temperature is probably in the lower 70s and it feels really nice.
The last two days have been swelteringly hot. It's difficult to work outside what with the heat and humidity, even in the evenings. Had a couple of thunderstorms move through last night, but that didn't bring any relief. It's supposed to be drier over the next few days, though still hot.
It was supposed to be mid-80s today, but since the cloud layer never really broke, it stayed in the upper 60s/lower 70s.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Yesterday was hot, near 90, and humid.
The day before, Friday, we had thunderstorms roll through in the morning, then again in the evening. The evening ones were bad, and the winds that came with it, took out our power from 7 pm, until 11 am on Saturday.
Attached are before and after pictures of the storm damage to my canopy. In the first picture I'm sittting in the red polo shirt on June 7th, along with some friends, the next picture shows what was left, it's no longer usable, and is busted in many places.
The third picture is me after going out in the rain, to get the canopy mess cleared before it ended up in my neighbors lawn.
2015 RFL Thank You to, TeeEye7 & Slicker, JediTricks, Tycho, El Chuxter, and Darth Jax!!!!
Be an organ donor, save lives!
I believe it was said better in "Good Morning Vietnam" about the weather here today. HOT!!! Humid!!!!
Star Wars & GI Joe Customs
HAVES: HK-50 Head, Capt Typho & GI Joe fodder available still
Wants:L8-L9 Head, YVH-1 Complete (as possible),R7-T1 Complete (as possible),R7-Z0 Complete (as possible)
I was stuck in a classroom all day today, so I didn't really get a chance to take in the weather. All I know is that it was pleasantly warm.
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
It's been oppressively hot and humid this past week. Feel guilty sitting inside but it's too damn hot to try to do stuff outdoors.
HOT!!!! The thermometer outside my place says 91.6 and that's in the shade.

Bi ismillahir rahmanir raheem
assalamu alaikum
Many scholars (i wont say most) believe they are fine since the person taking the photo is not creating something new but taking the image of what allah himself created. A photo cant be said to be a likeness to something allah created it is the image imprinted perfectly on paper with out change.
if the person is only showing the face and nothing haram then how could it be impermisable. If the intention is to find a spouse than i cant see something wrong with it since we are ecouraged to marry.
A man has the right to see the face of a women before he marry's her.

http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/...one_right.htmlAmerican Thinker recently previewed MURPH: The Protector, a feature-length documentary. Anyone who has the time should view this film, since it is now playing in a very limited engagement this week at select Regal Entertainment Group Theatres. The film is based on the life of Lt. Michael Murphy, a U.S. Navy SEAL who died during Operation Redwing.
Four SEALs, Michael Murphy, Marcus Luttrell, Danny Dietz, and Matthew Axelson, were sent on a mission in June 2005 to capture or kill an al-Qaeda leader connected with the Taliban in the mountains of Northern Afghanistan. After being compromised by some goat-herders, the SEALs were ambushed and fought furiously for several hours, with only a lone survivor, Marcus Luttrell, emerging. Unfortunately, a quick-reaction helicopter force sent out on a rescue mission was shot down, killing all 16 aboard.
People might remember Lt. Michael Murphy from Luttrell's book. In it, Luttrell described Murphy as a good friend - "the best officer I ever knew, an iron-souled warrior of colossal, almost unbelievable courage in the face of the enemy."

A new year for FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson
I had to look up just now how long FKA twigs and Robert Pattinson have been together. It was confirmed in September 2014. That surprised me. Did it feel like it had been that long for you? Here they are in London, just before New Year's Eve, leaving dinner. So at least 18 months then. And beginning 2016 together. Full Story

I'm actually wondering who I am right now. Robert Pattinson in the "best" column? I didn't expect it either. But looking back over 2015, not even his tea-pouring hands were a problem this year. Mostly it's because he's been so cute with FKA twigs and I'm obsessed with her. Full Story

FKA twigs released her third EP yesterday called M3LL155X along with a short film that includes four of the five songs. It's 17 mesmerising minutes that don't feel like a commitment at all because, well, she's not James Franco. twigs directed the film herself to illustrate what she calls "process of feeling pregnant with pain, birthing creativity and liberation".

Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett Talk Guitar Solos and Gear in 1991 Guitar World Interview
What happened to your black '74 Gibson Flying V?
HAMMETT: I used that V on every album prior to this one, but the ESP just sounded a bit rounder. Also, I felt it was time for a change. I bought that V while working at a Burger King. I worked three months, just long enough to be able to afford it. As soon as I made $400 -- enough money to buy the V -- I quit. I don't even know how much it costs to buy a guitar these days -- I haven't set foot in a guitar store in ages.
The songs on the new album are shorter than usual.
HETFIELD: Metallica shorter -- six minutes instead of ten.
It should be easier to get some radio airplay.
HETFIELD: That was always a problem. We'd record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio bastards wouldn't play it because it was too long. Or they would want to edit it, which we wouldn't allow.
But radio airplay wasn't the whole idea behind our writing shorter songs. It just seemed to us that we had pretty much done the longer song format to death. We were only able to fit about 12 songs in a two-and-a-half hour show. These shorter songs are going to help a bit -- we're going to be able to play more of 'em. [laughs] We have one song that has just two riffs in it, which is pretty amazing. It only takes two minutes to get the point across!
Shorter songs mean shorter guitar solos.
HAMMETT: In some instances.
Also, the new album is less complex harmonically.
HAMMETT: That's true. There are fewer key changes. There aren't many flatted fourth progressions, or anything like that -- just straight-ahead major and minor keys. The most complex song is probably "Anywhere I Roam," which suggests a Phrygian dominant scale.
Metallica has acquired a reputation for being meticulous. How often do you return to and repair something you think could be improved?
HAMMETT: I fix things all the time. Every time I do a solo, I re-check it and correct things that don't hit the mark.
In doing so, do you ever get the feeling that your behavior is less musical than it is... anal retentive?
HAMMETT: [laughs] It's like this -- you have to live with it. When you know you're going to be listening to a performance over 500 times, it's important to be happy with it. Believe me, there are mistakes on our other albums and I can't bring myself to listen to them. It's torture.
Which cuts?
HAMMETT: I'm not going to say! [laughs] You have to pick them out yourself.
What really stands out about Metallica is its feel.
HETFIELD: That's what we wanted -- a live feel. In the past, Lars and I constructed the rhythm parts without Kirk and Jason, or Lars played to a click by himself. This time I wanted to try playing as a band unit in the studio. It lightens things up and you get more of a vibe. Everyone was in the same room and we were able to watch each other. That helped a lot, especially with some of the bass and lead stuff. It also helped that we'd played most of the songs for two months, even before we entered the studio. Unfortunately, Lars kind of pussied out at the end -- he didn't want everyone there. I guess it's kind of difficult to work in the studio when you're not used to a new song, and there are all these people around.
Lars is always very involved in the Metallica production process. What is his input with regards to the guitar sound?
HETFIELD: He doesn't mess with the guitar sound -- just the bass guitar. [laughs]! He can say whatever he wants, but I think he's pretty confident in my ability to know what's right as far as the guitar goes.
While the songs on Metallica are less complex, the orchestration on this album is more sophisticated than your previous efforts.
HAMMETT: That's right. I think the degree of subtlety may shock people. Bob's really good with sound, and we took advantage of it by using different guitars and more vocal harmonies.
There are fewer guitar overdubs on this record, though. I used to layer 80 guitars in my attempt to create a heavy sound. But for one part of the composite, and Bob would like another. Then I'd ask Lars and James one part of the composite, and Bob would like another. Then I'd ask Lars and James for their opinions, which only complicated things. [laughs]. I usually ended up walking out of the room while everyone else fought it out
Were there any songs that didn't make it to the album?
HETFIELD: No. We went in and recorded 12. There are no other half-written songs sitting around anywhere. Whatever we wrote is there. It only takes one day of trying to write something to tell if it's going to end up in the dumper. [laughs] I've discovered that sheer quantity doesn't necessarily make for a heavier sound; if anything, overdubs make guitars sound mushier. As far as rhythms go, there are either two or three tracks, and they're split pretty evenly. There is a lot more separation on this album, which also makes it sound punchier. With a pair of headphones, you can tell who's doing what.

Film & Discussion: This World of Modern Child Slavery
When it is mentioned we tend to think of people, almost always black people; degraded, abused and bound in chains, and we tend to think of such images, and the word slavery itself, as belonging to another era.
We do not see slavery as belonging to our world, not as something which is still happening today.
Yet the truth is that if William Wilberforce were alive today and he travelled to different parts of the world - not just in Africa, but also in large parts of Asia, the Middle East, South America and even parts of Europe - he would find children living in conditions and circumstances which Wilberforce would understand and which I am sure he would describe as slavery.
It is believed there are nearly nine million children around the world today who are enslaved.
There are international charters and covenants which try to come to a legal definition of what constitutes slavery.
In essence these documents define slavery in the modern world as a situation where a human being and their labour are owned by others, and where that person does not have the freedom to leave and is forced into a life which is exploitative, humiliating and abusive.
'Sexual slavery'
One of the characters in the film I have made for the BBC is Dalyn, a young girl from Cambodia, who after years of counselling and therapy was able and willing to talk to us about how she was sold into sexual slavery in a brothel when she was 12 years oldDalyn represents just one of the estimated 1.2 million children that the International Labour Organisation believeare trafficked every year.
Tricked and forced into prostitution, Dalyn spent much of her time locked in a cage with others underneath a brothel - starved, beaten and threatened at gun point until she agreed to service clients.
Unregulated industry
Then there is the gentle and sweet 12-year-old boy Mawulehawe from Ghana, who is sold by his mother to a fishing "master".
Far from being the sadistic and immoral person you would expect, master Aaron is friendly and completely open about what he does and his motives.
Mawulehawe's family believe he has been given an apprenticeship
Mawulehawe sits and listens as he is haggled over, eventually being sold for £25 ($48).
Many people will be shocked and horrified by such a figure. How can anyone, let alone a mother, put a price on a child's head?
But £25 in Mawulehawe's village is the equivalent of two months salary for a local teacher, or enough water to meet the needs of a family of six for over three months.
In selling him to a fishing master, his relatives believe that far from being sold into anything approximating slavery, Mawulehawe is being given an apprenticeship, a chance for him to learn a trade.
But of course, not all fishing masters are as seemingly caring and gentle as Aaron.
Many of the boys which Mawulehawe eventually joins, tell of the beatings, the dangers of diving to loosen trapped nets and the fatalities in this utterly unregulated industry.

USD Strengthens Siblings' Bond a Few Degrees
Friday, June 3, 2011
Inside USD-The scene last Saturday outside of the Jenny Craig Pavilion was abuzz with excitement. Family members, friends, classmates and other graduates took turns getting a picture with new University of San Diego School of Law graduate Neru Joy Utomi shortly after the commencement ceremony. Smiles, laughter, hugs and a few balloons were present. Parents Mike and Stella cherished their daughter's achievement. Older brother Michael was grateful for a break from his military commitments to be there. Younger brothers, Moses (pictured, far left) and Edred (right), after taking a few serious photos, acted on an impulse and playfully scooped up their sister into their arms and lifted Joy off her feet.
This is the kind of fun that every college student looks forward to at the end of his or her academic journey. For Joy, earning her Juris Doctor degree through USD's four-year, part-time law program, last Saturday's celebration couldn't have ended any better.
Actually, it will continue. At this Sunday's College of Arts and Sciences undergraduate commencement ceremony, the Utomi family will return to the JCP to celebrate as Moses receives his bachelor's degree in psychology.
Oh, and don't forget about Edred, a sophomore Communication Studies and Theatre Arts major. "It's still two years away and I'm trying not to think about it yet," he said, "but I'm sure there will be more of the same happiness and joy that's here today."
From Nigeria to USD Law Graduate
Getting to this place of happiness was going to happen for Joy Utomi. Born in Benin, Nigeria, the Utomi's lone daughter among five children, she came to the United States with her parents and older brothers, Michael and Fabian, in 1987. Moses and Edred were born in the U.S.
The family left Nigeria for reasons that many immigrants do: "My parents wanted to give their children better opportunities, better resources, better education, more stability and a brighter future … basically the American Dream," she said. "My father finished engineering school. They wanted to move to the U.S. It took time to get the appropriate papers and save their money … but they felt they could provide more for us here."
The family intially came to Southern California, but moved to Las Vegas so Mike could seize opportunities during the city's industrial boom. Joy completed high school in Las Vegas. She moved to Los Angeles and attended Loyola Marymount University. She considered USD, even checked out the law school, but chose LMU and earned undergraduate degrees in political science and communications. Upon graduation in 2005, she interned with the Las Vegas FOX-TV affiliate as a video editor. A year later, she was at the ABC-TV affiliate as an associate news producer, a job with many responsibilities and tight deadlines.
"If there's anything that could prepare me for law school, it was being an associate producer for a news organization. It's fast-paced and the writing is intensive," she said. "I was constantly juggling a lot of moving pieces to get to the end product. Being so young and being in that environment, I really just had to be professional very quickly and learn how to get things done. It really helped coming to law school where it's a whole new environment. My background gave me patience and strength to say 'OK, I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm going to get through this and succeed."
USD's law school, she knew, was where she wanted to be. "I liked the San Diego community. I liked that it was a smaller community than Los Angeles, but still had big city resources, opportunities, culture and benefits. I liked that USD was the best law school in San Diego. I think students who go here have an advantage. There's a huge alumni base, the program is well founded and well represented. It drew me in from the beginning; everything I'd heard about it was good."
The first year, she said, was extremely intense. "Everyone I talk to describes law school as a marathon and not a sprint. Well, that first year, to me, was a marathon and a sprint. You feel you're constantly running and doing it forever. As hard as I thought I worked as an undergraduate, it was really unmatched in law school."
Not that Utomi would trade her law school experience for anything. She praised professors such as Yale Kamisar (Criminal Procedure course) and Miranda McGowan (Constitutional Law II) as dynamic and engaging educators whose learning environment was fruitful. She admired faculty mentors Roy Brooks (Black Law Student Association advisor) and Michael Devitt (founder of USD's Paul A. McLennon Sr, Honors Moot Court Competition) for their wisdom, dedication and loyalty.
"We have a lot of law professors here that love what they do, give so much of themselves and are always there for students," she said. Utomi expressed appreciation for the overall law student experience. "It isn't just about what you learn in the classroom or what you take to a job. It's about being a contributing member, being part of a greater community of law students. One thing I've loved is that students are so active. You get to know students so well through moot court, clubs and organizations and intramural sports. I think it's a much closer and cohesive community. It's not the cutthroat mentality. What happens here builds a better community."
Utomi's activities includes being secretary for the Student Bar Association's Executive Board, a member of associate and executive boards for Moot Court, a rewarding experience as tournament director for the McLennon Honors Moot Court event, being BLSA president, working for four years in the law school's admissions office and playing on four championship teams in the Intramural Sports League.
"It's been an amazing journey. There are so many people who've made my law school career amazing, from professors to my Moot Court family and my BLSA family. Working in the admissions office was definitely a family atmosphere. I can't thank Carl Eging and Jorge Garcia enough. Lizzette Herrera in Law Career Services has been like a second mom. She's helped me with networking and she's given me advice on how to present yourself in the legal community."
She's now looking ahead to the California Bar exam in July, but Utomi understands what she's already accomplished. "I value the law degree for more than just the job it can get me or that it can lead me to a certain career path. It represents four years of blood, sweat and tears; endless hours in the Legal Research Center; staying on campus that first year to study until sunrise. It's been an invaluable experience that's made me a stronger person. It makes me realize I'm capable of a lot more than I thought coming in."
Moses, USD a Good Fit
Moses Utomi transferred to USD after spending one year at Community College of Southern Nevada. Like his sister, he was impressed with what he saw at USD.
"The personal growth opportunities, social connections and the academics have been everything I imagined it would be," he said. "USD is a very specific campus. I like the small size and all of the things available to me."
Moses' diverse experiences include two years as a resident assistant (RA), a reporter for the student newspaper, The Vista, going on men's retreats through University Ministry and most recently, performing music with Edred on campus. Moses plays guitar, piano and sings, but enjoys songwriting most of all.
Another passion is seeing the other side of a university. He has worked for USD's camps and conferences held during the summer. "I get to see how the campus runs," he said. "It's cool to see the university from that side. It's a well-oiled machine. A lot of work and care goes into maintaining it."
Academically, Moses said he's thoroughly enjoyed classes taught by professors across many disciplines, which speaks to the strength of a USD liberal arts education. He noted Assistant Psychology Professors Rachel Blaser, PhD, and Anne Koenig, PhD, have been especially influential.
"Professor Blaser has been fantastic. She teaches in a way that makes the class very engaging and helps you retain the material better, forcing you to really think about what you're doing," he said.
Moses said Koenig's course, Psychology of Gender, where he was one of only two males enrolled, was fun and gave him a good perspective on the politics of gender. He also counted classes with Assistant English Professor Jericho Brown, PhD, Communication Studies Professor Larry Williamson, PhD, and Communication Studies Instructor William Fallon as highlights.
Moses won't leave USD after Sunday's graduation. He'll work on campus this summer before exploring other opportunities. Thanks to USD, though, he's ready for anything.
"They say college years are the best years of your life. They're right. I've loved it a lot. I've really enjoyed my time at USD," he said.
The Future Graduate
Edred Utomi moved to Oceanside two years ago with his parents, who wanted to be closer to Joy and Moses and Michael, who is the U.S. Air Force's Coast Guard. Fabian lives in Los Angeles.
Being together means everything to the Utomis. "We're a very close-knit family," Edred said.
For Edred, the chance to reunite with his sister and brother at USD has been a thrill. Edred praised them for helping him adjust to college life. Living with a roommate was one of those adjustments, but having Moses there as an RA helped. Edred has leaned on Joy for advice when he's felt stressed.
"It's been fantastic these last few years," Edred said. "It was a new place for me so it was great to have them here. We go to church together, have meals together. It's always nice."
Joy agreed: "It's been great to have my brothers here. It's nice to walk out of the library and randomly run into them or see them in the SLP or Aromas. There are a lot of long days; to see friends is nice, but to see my brothers is a really good feeling. It's a comfort to the soul."
Now that Joy and Moses are preparing for the next chapter of their lives, it's time for Edred to do the same. Moses, however, thinks the youngest Utomi sibling is ready: "Edred is a superstar. I think he's going to flourish. He's young and college is difficult for everybody. Being with him those two years, I think, helped him get through some of the harder parts and he's benefitted from it."
Graduation for his older siblings makes it a reality for Edred, but he seems up to the task.
"Seeing my sister and brother graduate makes me feel like I can do anything," he said. "They've been my inspiration these last couple of years. It's a great feeling to see them both succeed in everything they've done. It lets me know that I'm on the right track."

PCBs in fish
Yall might be intersted in this bit of trivia. The U.S. EPA Region III publishes a data base of risk based concentrations (RBC's) for most recognised priority pollutants one of them being PCB. [URL=http://www.epa.gov/reg3hwmd/risk/index.htm] RBC for PCB (Aroclor 1260) in fish is 0.0016 mg/kg or parts per million as a carcinogen. Not a really low number but prety low which means that you probably shoudnt eat PCB contaminated fish if you want to live forever. But then we all gotta die sometime.
The oher thing, I believe Soylent Green was made out of recycled human bodies.
For those who don't know, I know Plunker from outside of the board and we have had a conversation or two while standing on the river bank. I respect his views and enjoy debating with him although I know he is better at debate then I. For that matter, most are.
I may have taken this thread a little to far in my zeal to engage my friend Plunker in conversation. I do enjoy poking at you Plunk and I think you like to get my goat on occasion. But, if I have stepped over the line a bit here, I apologize to all and in particular Plunker.
Keep it up plunker. Your posts are a lot more interesting and thought provoking than all the usual clamoring over the next greatest fly line or spey rod that makes last years greatest fly line or spey rod so outdated.
As far as defending oneself goes, don't you have to be assualted first? Or, if not, is that what they call a pre-emptive defense? Kinda like the best defense being a good offense?
I for one enjoy hearing from you herein. Although I am exclusively a fly fisherman by choice, I have no problem with sharing the river with folks who do not fly fish.
I am also rather conservative (not Republican) and would like to see less government in most things.
I have always found you responses to be passionate, informative, and void of personal attacks.
Hey OC...
If our friendship is riding on whatever you post on this board then in my opinion it is not much of a friendship. I consider this discourse we have here to be the same if we were sitting in front of the shop and having these discussions face to face. I definately don't agree with all your views but you will always be welcome at my place. Plunker to for that matter. I don't feel I snubbed Plunker in the slightest but that is water under the bridge. I hope he does keep on dragging his cowbells through here whenever he chooses. As for his views on private property rights, from what little I know of them I couldn't agree with him more. Take care, MJC
I do not want anyone to leave the site. I just feel one can defend there own views without attacking them personally (unless you are a politician ).
This is the last I will say about this and I do hope you stick around. I am just asking for everyone and keep things as civil as possible.
Thank you Plunker for your above response. I will only speak for myself and I have not found your voice hear to be negative in anyway. As you are well aware most here are somewhat liberal. But I am amazed that there are some conseratives here as well. I for one am not liberal or conserative but a good old fashion leftist one who believes in socialisim, not a pinko commie though. Oh how I wish for a goverment somewhere between Canada and Sweeden.
Your challenge to us here is insightful, your views on C&R delightful, though there is a need for C&R in certain situations and even you practice it under the right conditions. Don't worry things will go full circle and some of your thoughts and ideas such as not fishing C&R on depleted stocks will be the norm in the future. C&R has been a disaster in Montana on such rivers as the Madison and Missourri. It was created not for the fish and the enviroment but to be able to justify more fishermen for more money for the industry. Yes we got more fish per mile but we also got a lot of ugly fish that were no longer full of that wild life that a wild trout should have. We also got the crowds and the industry got their money.
Your views on land rights scare the hell out of me but having once owned a ranch in Montana I know how trying it can be to let the public on to hunt and fish. But the goverment must step in on enviro issues and set a course that will help gain some positive results. I wish they would spend money helping farmers and ranchers solve the problems they face instead of letting them fall flat on their face. All that money on war, boy could of that been used on the farm front like the Skagit dairy farmers with their land use problems.
Anyway your views are different from most of us here and I don't agree with most of what you say but from the other side you put up an outstanding debate one that should make everyone of us think a little bit deeper than we sometimes do. At least we should use it to see how your side thinks about the same issues we are thinking about. Your reasoning sure beats the Rush Linbbouh or what ever that idiots name is.
MMM and MJC are good friends of mine, maybe not after I post this. I think they are wrong in giving you the type of shat they are giving you. If they got different ideas on stuff here they should state it and they better be as sure on their opinions as you are on your convictions. Sounds like they are a bit intiminated and a few others are too. I'm not going to say that a the fly fishermen here on flytalk have their head up you know where because everyone of them that I know I have respect for. They are fine people who care about the issues we talk about. But so many fly fishermen in this world today are quick to condem and spew a bunch of you know what at those who don't follow the religion. You know sort of like those who spew the far right religious stuff or those hard core religious zelots in the near east.
As far as I'm concerned you are a welcome voice hear even though I think you are a kook.
Keep posting
|Mean Mr Mustard
If it means leaving this site for good or sticking my head in the sand like most of you, then I'll gladly leave. To not defend oneself and one's belief is cowardly and I'll have no part in such.
Hey MMM,
Lets keep this above the belt. Personal attacks are a no no on this site.
This is twice in the last day and we just cannot have it.
Yes Plunkers statements are a tad inflammatory(he did apologize for his one personal attack) but as long as it is not a personal attack we should keep are responses civil. We should strive to respect everyones viewpoint. No one is forcing everyone to agree.
Not taking sides but the crap going on as of late here has to stop. Now. That goes for everyone.
|Mean Mr Mustard
You seemed to have missed the part where I said "for lack of a better way to put it" and where I said "what I call liberal tendencies". Those were my opinions of this board's makeup not a rule that the founders of this board set forth.
If you go back to the Skagit blown badly thread you will see that I defended and thanked you in your posting of pertinent information on the reasons the Skagit was in such poor shape. I dont believe at any time I snubbed you.
I think it is great you used to tie flies. But, I don't think you tie now nor do I think you fly fish. Not that I think you must to participate but that is not for me to say. I will say I truly believe you frequent this board not for the benefit of the board or the other anglers here but to engage in controversial conversation and if needed you will create the controversy.
"Me thinks that mercury might be a bigger concern. I recommend that you abstain from fish altogether. Learn to subsist on tofu and nuts and leave the sockeye for those of us who appreciate their healthier aspects. "
The above is a quote from one of your posts in this thread in case you missed it. This, to me, smacks of a troll. No, actually, to me it is a troll. I think you made this statement purely to see if someone would take your bait. Perhaps I am mistaken. At any rate, I doubt you can convince me that you had any other motive.
Kerry - Did I miss the rule defining this as a liberal political forum? Is entry restricted to those with expensive spey rods or does the fact that I tied fly's commercially during the mid though latter 50's and demonstrated the methodology on television on occasion qualify my participation?
In the words of the master:
"Let's not get into offensive impositions or thin-skinned retorts in this community. We have a unique environment here, like a pristine mountain lake or drinking water stream, with some occasional siltiness here and there but otherwise crystal clear. If you have to piss, walk 100 feet away from shore first please."
MJC - "Why is that?" Sometimes expectation can become a vehicle of suggestion serving to polarize perception. We are all somewhat prone towards finding what we look for.
It is true that in a moment of haste tainted with hurt from the snubbing that you, Russ and Steven presented in the "Skagit blown badly" thread, for replying to the original subject, I did subsequently quip a slurring response in the "This just in..." thread. For that I apologize.
I would suggest that considering the degree of personal attacks and stereotyping encountered here that I and most others have done well at avoiding confrontations and negativity and that I, and hopefully most others, will endeavor to continue to do so.
I often seek to broaden the perspective of limited viewpoints but do so without malice.
You will get used to my posting style in time.
So now may we get back to our regularly scheduled program fishing ?
Or, in this case, the environment and PCB's.
I might as well sprout off on this as I've thought about it for a while.
I don't have much problem with you dragging your cowbells through here once in a while. I've went back and read everything I could find posted under your name. Some of the early stuff was pretty good but lately everything you write seems to start off in a confrontational and negative manner. Why is that?
You can elaborate on anything you want and call it what ever you want. The point here is, this is a fly fishing site with what I will call liberal tendencies for lack of a better way to put it. It is fairly well known around here that you are not a fly fisherman with what I call liberal tendencies. So, when I see you posting on here what some might consider an inflammatory position or maybe better stated as purposeful opposition I tend to think you are trolling.
Trolling Kerry? Am I not permitted to elaborate upon a possible misdirection of focus? But yes, the pinks are boring when one spends 5 minutes fishing and 55 minutes playing them in a typical hour. It becomes easy to regard the pinks as pollutant amongst the rarer more desirable co ho's.
An interesting proposition Juro.
But why waste that neopollutrient biomass?
Lets fast forward from 1973 to the future...
The year is 2022 and Earth is over-populated. The once plentiful farmland is one of the many victims of a dying environment. Real food is expensive and hard to come by and the populace is restless and fed up with hungry stomachs. A single raw steak is more valuable than gold.
Here enters Soylent Green...
A synthetic nutritional chip made from the oceanic kelpy goodness?

New book explores campus legends and folklore
Binghamton University Professor Elizabeth Tucker loves to explore the roots of folklore, and the types of stories that flourish at colleges and universities have long held a special place in her heart.
Her new book, Campus Legends: A Handbook (Greenwood Press, 2005), addresses the classic ingredients of a legend as well as the history of campus folklore. From there, it plunges into a wealth of stories focused on characters ranging from ghosts and witches to professors and exams.
"I think the stories are very important as a sort of initiation for new students," said Tucker, an associate professor of English and director of the department's graduate program. "They're good stories. They're interesting, dramatic and strange."
Tucker remembers the first time a campus legend grabbed her attention. She was an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke College and rumors circulated about a hatchet man coming to attack co-eds on the East Coast.
"I felt scared out of my mind," she said. "The person who told it to me told it as a real story."
Like that tale, many campus legends frighten young people about what might happen when they're all alone late at night. "Part of this kind of storytelling is dealing with the inevitable dangers of growing up and taking your place in the world," Tucker said.
For generations of students, the day-to-day college experience has been spiced up with stories of the unexplained and the unknown. Campus legends often reflect students' hopes and fears, and subsequently have become an important part of popular culture.
Tucker and her husband, Geoffrey Gould, traveled extensively for the book, visiting campuses throughout the United States and in Europe. Gould took photos that accompany the stories Tucker gathered.
Tucker believes the campus landscape sets the stage for legends of all types, but especially ghost stories. "There's not only this scene of exotic buildings," she said, "there's the history of learning going back centuries."
Tucker, who's teaching a class on folklore of the supernatural, is so interested in ghost stories that she's now working on another book focused entirely on them.
"We're taught to think scientifically," she said. "But nevertheless many people have experiences that are hard to explain rationally."
About the author:
In addition to "Campus Legends,' Elizabeth Tucker has been widely published on the topic of the unexplainable, including "Ghosts in Mirrors: Reflections of the Self" for the Journal of American Folklore; "'Mean Girls': The Reclassification of Children's and Adolescents' Folklore" in Children's Folklore Review; "I Saw the Trees Had Souls: Personal Experience Narratives of Contemporary Witches," in Festschrift for W.F.H. Nicolaisen, a publication of the American Folklore Society; and "Texts, Lies, and Videotape: Can Oral Tales Survive?" for the Children's Folklore Review.

Trendy food prediction: Purslane is coming to a dish near you
Omar Flores, the chef at Driftwood, uses small bouquets of purslane to garnish a gorgeous tuna tartare and a main course of King salmon, smoked corn, bacon and Littleneck clams. Colleen O'Hare and Jeana Johnson are putting it on plates of fried frog legs and dropping it on giant char-grilled prawns at their new, modern Vietnamese restaurant, Mot Hai Ba. Tim Bevins, the new chef at the Front Room: A Park Cities Diner, just stopped in to Tom Spicer's FM 1410, looking for some — according to Spicer.
If the association of purslane with those five bold-face names doesn't add up to a trend, I don't know what does. And I'll venture to guess that purslane will be showing up on more and more plates around town as we head into summer.
So what is purslane? It's a nasty, pernicious garden weed, a wonderful salad herb with a bright flavor and succulent texture or an amazing super-food high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, depending on your point of view.
I first came upon it on a trip to the coast of Turkey in 2008, where it's eaten in salads. That same year, Tina Danze featured a purslane salad in a Dallas Morning News story about no-cook side dishes for the fourth of July. The story included a recipe by Sharon Hage (whose York Street was still open) for an heirloom tomato salad with purslane and salty cheese. Funny that the herb has come full circle: Mot Hai Ba occupies the former York Street space, and O'Hare used to work for Hage. The link for the story has long expired, but I can walk you through the recipe.
Cut a pound to a pound and a half of ripe heirloom tomatoes into wedges. Peel and seed a cucumber, and add it to the tomatoes. Toss them with some red wine vinegar, good olive oil, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add four ounces of purslane, some crumbled salty cheese (like queso fresco or a good feta), a couple tablespoons of chopped mint and a little chopped basil. (I think it would be nice to tear the mint and basil.) Toss it, adjust seasoning, and serve.
But wait: Where do you get the purslane? Tom Spicer is selling it, as you know if you were paying attention, at FM1410. He says it's also available at Fiesta, but make sure it has enough leaves on it. "It's trucked in out of Mexico," says Spicer. "They top-ice it all and all the leaves fall off." Or, if you have enough of it and you haven't been putting any scary chemicals on it, go ahead and raid your garden.
UPDATE: I just heard from Anastacia Quinones, chef at Komali, who suggests: "Try it wilted, like spinach, with a little lime and butter, and finish with spiced pepitas. You'll swoon." Sounds wonderful, and I will try it soon as I can get my hands on some. Quinones says Komali has purslane on its new summer menu with Texas redfish, chile de arból and Texas peaches.

Archdiocese of Chicago
Brother Jeffrey Gros, FSC, is a member of the Extended Staff of the Office for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs for the Archdiocese of Chicago. Brother Gros is a former staff person for the Faith and Order Committee of the National Council of Churches and for the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
As we are brought again to a New Year and to the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which has become so central to the calendar of church life for these many years, we are thankful yet again to be challenged by the Lord to follow the path toward the unity of the Christian churches to which he has called us. We can hardly do less than be grateful in prayer, dialogue and service to the unity that is given us in Christ and to the challenges before us to overcome prejudice against fellow Christians, divisions among the churches, and animosity in the hearts of any Christians towards others.
God requires much from those to whom much has been given. Certainly we are required to pray for one another, with one another and for the unity of the Church. In this 2013 year, God requires us to pray for displaced Christians and peoples: in war torn places where the refugees will need hospitality; in Libya, Syria, Palestine, Iraq and Egypt where Christians are experiencing marginalization; in the United States where immigrants from around the globe are seeking hospitality; in Europe where formerly Christian nations are hospitable to peoples of other religions and in areas of Asia and Africa where minorities are experiencing discrimination.
God requires of us to reach out to fellow Christians, especially those we least understand, to learn how they think and feel. Much public incivility, both within the church, among the churches in civil society demonstrate the requirement of dialogue that God places before us as Christians. While there are no simple Christian solutions to disagreements on war and peace, human sexuality, economic policy, or the roles of government, there is God's requirement of dialogue, Jesus' prayer for unity, and the Spirit's empowerment for us to better understand one another in service to the unity of the Gospel and to the reconciliation of the human family.
What Does God Require of US? God requires prayer and mutual support. God requires a zeal for the unity of all Christians. God requires a spirituality of dialogue and trust that places faith in the Triune God above nation, race, political party, or particular interpretations of the Scripture and natural law. God requires of us faith in the call to visible unity among all Christians. God requires of us care for one another, for the whole human community, and indeed for all of creation.

Start seeing sculpture in Hackensack
The Northwoods Arts Council (NAC), an all-volunteer organization dedicated to providing entertainment and visual enrichment to the lakes area, is sponsoring a summer sculpture park in downtown Hackensack along the Paul Bunyan Trail.
Sculptors throughout Minnesota were invited to submit proposals to the NAC and five pieces of artwork were chosen for display from June 1 through Labor Day. The artists are Andy Arend from Rochester, Al Belleveau from Bemidji, Tim Cassidy from New York Mills, and Chris Gustafson from Watkins.
All have had sculptures displayed in other venues and bring a wealth of talent to the lakes communities.
Residents and visitors may view the artwork and vote for their favorite sculpture.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Five Wings Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Work sucks but I have to show up tomorrow anyway. So I'm just trying to think about other, funner things before I go to bed. In 12-18 months (when I retire) I'm getting a lab female. I prefer black but it doesn't much matter. For sentimental reasons I want her call name to be "Dixie". It'll be months before I'll be zeroing in on a litter, so hard to say what could be taken from the blood lines.
And BTW: If you hear of quality litters beginning to move from planning stages to actual breeding over the next year or so... please PM me.
