Deep In The Truck Belt's Heart
There's no two ways about it, the Kansas City, Kansas, and Missouri area is smack dab, deep in the middle of America's truck belt. All it took for us to reaffirm this notion was a weekend visit to the Midwest All-Truck Nationals in Riverside, Missouri. In its 10th year, the Midwest All-Truck Nats is definitely on Custom Classic Trucks' list of must-see shows for anyone with a passion for old and new trucks and has the means to get there.
The first night we were in town, even before we located the show grounds, we spotted Classic Parts of America's building from the highway in Riverside. You can't miss it. It's a behemoth building brightly illuminated with GMC and Chevrolet neon lights shining through from the showroom.
The story of Classic Parts of America (formerly known as Chevy Duty) began a little over 26 years ago when Mark Jansen started the business specializing in classic Chevrolet and GMC trucks out of his two-car garage. Mark soon discovered his special knack for tracking down hard-to-find and obsolete parts was going take a lot more than a two-car garage to house. Of course no one builds a business to the immenseness Classic Parts of America has achieved today without a solid core of good folks to make up a team. Thanks to a crew that has been with Mark since the early days, the company continues to be a thriving business with a great reputation.

Not everyone is at home in 19th-century England. My husband, who grew up reading Celine and Dostoevsky, loathed English novels until he discovered Dickens. But if, like him, you have a prejudice against Austen's dry wit, Dickens's rhetorical flourishes, and Thackeray's chatty asides, Trollope, with his energetic prose, extraordinary plots, and arresting characters, may be your man.
He Knew It was Right centers on marriage. Emily Rowley, the vivacious and strong-minded daughter of the governor of the Mandarin Islands, and Lewis Trevelyan, a Cambridge graduate, gentleman, and poet, separate after two years of marriage. Louis asks her to stop seeing Colonel Osborne, a man in his fifties who likes to flirt; Emily refuses to obey Louis because she's innocent and Colonel Osborne is her father's oldest friend. Colonel Osborne complicates the situation by enjoying the mischief and continuing to visit her even when she is banished by Louis with her baby and sister to live in a rural village.
Louis hires a detective, loses his health, and goes slowly mad. Although we pity him, it is impossible to feel empathy after he kidnaps their child.
I must admit, I prefer Emily's sister, Nora, who lives with the Trevelyans. It is clear that she is there partly so she'll have opportunites to marry well. Mr. Glascock, the future Lord Peterborough, falls in love with her, but though Nora wants to marry money, she is in love with Hugh Stanhope, a failed barrister who is a successful political writer for a "penny newspaper." Nora's parents oppose the marriage because of his financial situation. Many other characters face the same difficulties: financial problems and family opposition.
It is ironic that the couple with no financial difficulties, the Trevelyans, are the ones who have emotional difficulties.
Typos. In the July 17 edition of The New York Times, Virginia Heffernan explores "The Price of Typos" in publishing.
As Geoff Shandler, the editor in chief of Little, Brown and Company, told me, "Use of the word processor has resulted in a substantial decline in author discipline and attention. Manuscripts are much longer than they were 25 years ago, much more casually assembled, and beyond spell check (and not even then; and of course it will miss typos if the word is a word) it is amazing how little review seems to have occurred before the text is sent to the editor. Seriously, you have no idea how sloppy some of these things are."
Literary Centenaries. 2012 is the centenary of poet Elizabeth Bishop's birth; Tennessee Williams's birth; Nobel winner Czeslaw Milosz's birth; Irish writer Flann O'Brien's birth; and the publication of The Secret Garden.

"For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end. For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
Edward M. Kennedy, one of the most powerful and influential senators in American history and one of three brothers whose political triumphs and personal tragedies captivated the nation for decades, died late Tuesday at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 77. He had been battling brain cancer.
His family announced his death in a brief statement released early Wednesday. "We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," the statement said. "We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice, fairness and opportunity for all."
President Obama released a statement Wednesday morning, pointing out that "virtually every major piece of legislation to advance the civil rights, health and economic well being of the American people bore his name and resulted from his efforts. . . . Our country has lost a great leader, who picked up the torch of his fallen brothers and became the greatest United States Senator of our time. . . . Our hearts and prayers go out to" the Kennedy family.
Kennedy, a Massachusetts Democrat, was the last male survivor of a privileged and charismatic family that in the 1960s dominated American politics and attracted worldwide attention. His sister, Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver, died two weeks ago, also in Hyannis Port. One sibling, former U.S. ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith, is still alive.
As heir through tragedy to his accomplished older brothers — President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.), both of whom were assassinated — Edward Kennedy became the patriarch of his clan and a towering figure in the U.S. Senate to a degree neither of his siblings had been.
Kennedy served in the Senate through five of the most dramatic decades of the nation's history. He became a lawmaker whose legislative accomplishments, political authority and gift for friendship across the political spectrum invited favorable comparisons to Daniel Webster, Henry Clay and a handful of other leviathans of the country's most elite political body. But he was also beset by personal frailties and family misfortunes that were the stuff of tabloid headlines.
For years, many Democrats considered Kennedy's own presidency a virtual inevitability. In 1968, a "Draft Ted" campaign emerged only a few months after Robert Kennedy's death, but he demurred, realizing he was not prepared to be president.
Political observers considered him the candidate to beat in 1972, but that possibility came to an end on a night in July 1969, when the senator drove his Oldsmobile off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, Mass., and a young female passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned.
The tragedy had a corrosive effect on Kennedy's image, eroding his national standing. He made a dismal showing when he challenged President Jimmy Carter for reelection in 1980. But the moment of his exit from the presidential stage marked an oratorical highlight when, speaking at the Democratic National Convention, he invoked his brothers and promised: "For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on. The cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
Instead of a president, Kennedy became a major presence in the Senate, which he had joined in 1962 with the help of his politically connected family. He was a cagey and effective legislator, even in the years when Republicans were in the ascendancy. When most Democrats sought to fend off the "liberal" label, the senior senator from Massachusetts wore it proudly.
In a statement issued early Wednesday, Sen. Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.), the Senate's majority leader, called it the "thrill of a lifetime" to work with Kennedy, describing him as a friend, the model of public service and "an American icon."
He said Kennedy's legacy "stands with the greatest, the most devoted, the most patriotic men and women to ever serve" in the Capitol.
Reid said that in addition to mourning his loss, "we rededicate ourselves to the causes for which he so dutifully dedicated his life."
For decades, Kennedy was at the center of the most important issues facing the nation, and he did much to help shape them. A defender of the poor and politically disadvantaged, he set the standard for his party on health care, education, civil rights, campaign-finance reform and labor law. He also came to oppose the war in Vietnam and, from the beginning, was an outspoken opponent of the war in Iraq.
Congressional scholar Thomas E. Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, described Kennedy's mark on the Senate as "an amazing and endurable presence. You want to go back to the 19th century to find parallels, but you won't find parallels. It was the completeness of his involvement in the work of the Senate that explains his career."
Republicans repeatedly invoked Edward Kennedy for fundraising causes. They portrayed the hefty, ruddy-faced Massachusetts pol as the ultimate tax-and-spend liberal, Big Government in the flesh.
Despite that caricature, he was widely considered the Senate's most popular member and was on congenial terms with many of his Republican colleagues. On a number of issues, he searched for compromises that could attract GOP votes.
He collaborated with a Republican president, George W. Bush, on education reform, with a Republican presidential candidate; Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), on immigration reform; and with arch-conservative senator J. Strom Thurmond (S.C.) on major crime legislation. Only Thurmond, who died in 2003 at age 100, and Robert C. Byrd (D-W.Va.), served longer in the Senate than Kennedy.
Kennedy's congeniality and his willingness to work with the opposition were at the core of his legislative ability. "He was fun; he was considerate to his colleagues," Mann said. "He would take a 20th of a loaf compared to getting nothing."
Kennedy and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) forged a lasting friendship that began in 1981, when Hatch became chairman of what was then the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee. With nine liberals and seven conservatives on the committee, Hatch knew he needed Kennedy's help — and he got it.
"We have passed so much legislation together," Hatch told a Salt Lake City reporter in 2008. He noted having worked with Kennedy on the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, an effort to prevent undue governmental burdens on the exercise of religion, and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Long before he fell ill, Kennedy made health care a major focus of his career, terming it "the cause of my life." His legislation resulted in access to health care for millions of people and funded cures for diseases that afflicted people around the world. He was a longtime advocate for universal health care and was instrumental in promoting biomedical research, as well as AIDS research and treatment. He was a leader in the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 and the 1996 Kennedy-Kassebaum Bill — with Sen. Nancy Kassebaum (R-Kan.) — which allowed employees to keep health insurance after leaving their job.
Health care reform is "a defining issue for our society," Kennedy told fellow senators during a 1994 debate. "Do we really care about our fellow citizens?" It was a question he asked countless times, in one form or another, during his long Senate career. He faced opposition from most Republicans — and more than a few Democrats — who insisted that Kennedy's proposals for universal health care amounted to socialized medicine that would lead to bureaucratic sclerosis and budget-breaking costs and inefficiencies.
Receiving a diagnosis in May 2008 of a brain tumor, Kennedy rose from his hospital bed that summer and cast a dramatic vote on the Senate floor in favor of legislation preventing sharp cuts in Medicare payments to doctors. Several Republicans were so moved by his presence that they switched their earlier votes on the bill, giving it a veto-proof majority.
His family had been touched by cancer even before he got his own diagnosis. His son, Edward Jr., lost a leg to bone cancer at age 12 in 1973. His daughter, Kara Anne, was told she had lung cancer in 2003.
A list of major laws bearing his imprint, in addition to health care, fills pages. In 1965, he led the successful Senate floor battle that passed what was popularly known as the Hart-Celler Act, landmark legislation that abolished immigration quotas and lifted a 1924 ban on immigration from Asia.
"This bill really goes to the very central ideals of our country," Kennedy said on the floor of the Senate. The legislation, the most significant immigration reform in four decades, passed both the House and Senate by overwhelming margins.
He was long the Senate's leading voice on civil rights, including the 1982 Voting Rights Act extension, as well as efforts to advance the concept of equality to include the disabled and women in the workplace.
In 1972, he was a key supporter of Title IX, an amendment requiring colleges and universities to provide equal funding for men's and women's athletics. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, he played an important though indirect role in the 1973 investigation of the Watergate scandal that led to President Richard M. Nixon's resignation. In 1996 and again in 2007, he was the lead Senate sponsor of legislation increasing the minimum wage.
In the 1980s, when a Republican president and Senate mounted a major campaign to roll back programs he had championed, he led the fight to save them. Even in the minority, he worked to expand government's role in providing health care to children, making loans available to college students and extending civil rights to the disabled, among many other embattled initiatives.Known as Teddy, the youngest son in a powerful family, Kennedy was first elected to the Senate as a 30-year-old. Despite a reputation for callow recklessness and immaturity, he seemed destined for higher office from the beginning. Such a fate seemed even more assured after the assassinations of his brothers in the 1960s.
His oldest brother, Joseph, who was probably headed for a political career, died in a plane explosion while serving in World War II. Brothers John and Robert were killed in their 40s. So it was that the youngest Kennedy, and the last Kennedy brother, was thrust into the role of family patriarch and, ultimately, of elder statesman.
Overcoming an early reputation as a vacuous young man of privilege, as well as a string of debilitating personal tragedies and burdensome expectations that he would fulfill his brothers' broken legacies, Kennedy became his own man in the Senate.
Edward Moore Kennedy was born in Brookline, Mass., on Feb. 22, 1932, the ninth and last child of Joseph P. and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy. His maternal grandfather, John F. "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, was a mayor of Boston. His paternal grandfather, Patrick J. Kennedy, served in both houses of the Massachusetts Legislature.
His father made millions in real estate, banking, Hollywood films and Wall Street, as well as in liquor during Prohibition. The elder Kennedy served under Franklin D. Roosevelt as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, then as head of the Maritime Commission.
His mother, a devout Roman Catholic, was exposed to the boisterous world of Boston Irish politics early, campaigning as a young girl with her father, the mayor, and meeting presidents Grover Cleveland and William McKinley. Decades later, she became an accomplished campaigner for her sons.
Joseph Kennedy was away during much of his young son's early years, and Ted stayed with his mother in New York, where the Kennedys had moved in 1926. The family was reunited in London in 1938 when Joseph Kennedy was named U.S. ambassador to the Court of St. James's, where — as legions of Kennedy haters would never forget — he was an outspoken opponent of America's entry into World War II.
From his mother, Ted Kennedy learned the core values of the family's Catholic faith; from his father, he learned to compete. "We don't want any losers around here," Joe Kennedy would tell his children. "In this family, we want winners."
As the Kennedy family shuttled between London, Boston, New York and Palm Beach, Fla., Ted Kennedy studied at a number of private boarding schools before enrolling in 1946 at Milton Academy outside Boston. He was an undistinguished student, although he was an excellent debater, a good athlete and popular with his classmates.
From Milton, he enrolled at Harvard University. Joe Kennedy once warned his youngest son to be careful, Kennedy biographer Adam Clymer wrote, because he was the kind of person who would always get caught. The warning went unheeded. As a freshman, Kennedy asked a friend to take a Spanish examination for him, Spanish being one of his weaker subjects. Both students were expelled.
Afterward, Kennedy enlisted in the Army and served two years in Europe during the Korean War before his discharge in 1953. Jack Olsen, author of "The Bridge at Chappaquiddick" (1970), observed that Kennedy volunteered for military service "with much the same attitude as a European youth joining the French Foreign Legion."
Welcomed back to Harvard, he was able to indulge his passion for football and was a first-team end in 1955, his senior year. Kennedy received an undergraduate degree in history and government in 1956 and received a law degree in 1959 from the University of Virginia.
He plunged into politics in 1958, managing his brother John's successful campaign for reelection to the U.S. Senate. Two years later, he coordinated his brother's presidential primary campaign in 13 Western states.
After John Kennedy's election to the presidency in 1960, Edward Kennedy became an assistant to the district attorney of Suffolk County, Mass.; he was paid a dollar a year. He also began laying the groundwork for his own political career. Traveling at his own expense, he accompanied members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a fact-finding tour of Africa in 1960.
Before taking office in January 1961, John Kennedy urged Massachusetts Gov. Foster Furcolo to appoint Benjamin Smith II to his vacated Senate seat until a special election scheduled for November 1962. Smith, the mayor of Gloucester, Mass., and the president-elect's college roommate, was immediately labeled as a placeholder until Edward Kennedy reached 30, the minimum age for a U.S. senator under the U.S. Constitution.
That was exactly what happened. The youngest Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination three weeks after his birthday, and Smith stepped aside.
His chief rival for the nomination was Edward J. McCormack Jr., the state attorney general and nephew of John W. McCormack (D-Mass.), speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives at the time.
Although Kennedy avoided a potentially damaging campaign issue by revealing his expulsion from Harvard before his opponent could mention it, the primary campaign was bitter. McCormack repeatedly reminded voters that Kennedy had never held elective office and questioned his judgment and qualifications to be a U.S. senator. In the first of two "Teddy-Eddy debates," McCormack tried to turn the Kennedy name against his opponent. "And I ask you," he said, pointing a finger Kennedy, "if his name was Edward Moore — with your qualifications, with your qualifications, Teddy — if it was Edward Moore, your candidacy would be a joke. Nobody's laughing, because his name is not Edward Moore; it's Edward Moore Kennedy." McCormack's attacks backfired, and Kennedy won by a margin of more than 300,000 votes. He went on to defeat the Republican nominee, George Cabot Lodge, and was sworn into office in January 1963.
As a freshman senator, Kennedy deferred to his more venerable peers, concentrating on legislation of local interest. That approach began to change on Nov. 22, 1963. He was in the chair, in the absence of the vice president, presiding over a desultory debate concerning a library services bill.
A press aide ran to the floor with a bulletin he had ripped off a teletype machine in the lobby and handed it to the first senator he reached, Spessard Holland (D-Fla.). Then the aide cried out to Kennedy: "Senator, your brother has been shot!"
Kennedy turned pale, gathered his papers together and rushed out to the lobby, where he began making phone calls to the White House and to his brother Robert, the attorney general. Confirming the news of the shooting, Edward Kennedy hurried home to Georgetown and told his wife Joan, who had heard nothing.
That night, he and his sister, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, flew from Washington to Hyannis, Mass., where their father lay half-paralyzed with a stroke. The family had not told him; in fact, they tried to keep the news from him. Only when he asked that the television be turned on the next morning did Kennedy tell his father that his eldest surviving son was dead.
John Kennedy's assassination helped make his youngest brother's reelection almost inevitable, despite his relatively sparse Senate record, but he almost lost his life in the process. Flying to Springfield, Mass., to accept the nomination of the state's Democratic convention, his twin-engine plane crashed in an apple orchard seven miles short of its destination. The pilot died instantly, and Kennedy was pulled from the mangled wreckage with a broken back, three broken ribs and a collapsed lung. An aide to Kennedy also died in the crash.
The first doctor who saw him cautioned that he might be paralyzed for the rest of his life. After a few days, doctors determined that he had suffered no permanent nerve damage.
His wife, mother and Kennedy family functionaries campaigned for him as he spent long months of recovery lying on his back. After his fellow Democrats nominated him by acclamation, he won the general election against a relative unknown, by 1,129,000 votes.Kennedy's initial foray into health care issues came in 1966 after he became aware of the difficulties facing Boston public-housing residents who had to rely on the city's teaching hospitals. Although they lived only four miles from the hospitals, it took them up to five hours to get there and back on buses and subways, including the time it took to wait in an emergency room.
In August 1966, he visited a community health clinic opened by two Tufts University medical school professors on two renovated floors of an apartment in the housing project. Within a couple of months, Kennedy managed to get money through Congress for a program of community health centers. By 1995, there were more than 800 centers in urban and rural areas, serving about 9 million people.
As a brother of a president on the front lines of the Cold War, he initially expressed "no reservations" about the American military commitment in Southeast Asia. That support began to wane after two trips to Vietnam and as U.S. involvement escalated toward the end of the decade.
He said years later, as quoted in Clymer's 1999 biography of the senator, that a trip he made to Vietnam in 1968 was the turning point. It left him troubled, he said, by the casualties the United States was causing and "the failure of the Vietnamese to fight for themselves." He came to believe that the Vietnam War was "a monstrous outrage."
By 1968, his brother Robert, then the junior senator from New York, had become the standard bearer of the antiwar movement. Some antiwar Democrats were urging Robert to run in Democratic primaries against President Lyndon B. Johnson. Edward Kennedy, who had grown close to his brother during their time in the Senate together, advised against it. He argued that a run in 1968 could not succeed and that it would damage his brother's chances for the 1972 nomination. Privately, he also was afraid that his brother would be assassinated.
On March 15, 1968, Robert Kennedy announced that he was running not "merely to oppose any man but to propose new policies." On June 5, 1968, Sirhan B. Sirhan, a Christian Palestinian outraged by Robert Kennedy's support of Israel, shot him in the head in the kitchen pantry of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.
After the assassination, Edward Kennedy temporarily withdrew from public life. He delivered the eulogy at his brother's funeral in New York City's St. Patrick's Cathedral and then spent the next 10 weeks sailing, often alone off Cape Cod, brooding about the loss his family had endured. He considered leaving politics altogether.
Returning to his senatorial duties in August 1968, he made ending the Vietnam War his top priority. He offered a four-point plan that included an unconditional bombing halt in North Vietnam and unilateral reduction of American forces.
Over the next few years, he made scores of antiwar speeches around the country. He condemned President Nixon's "Vietnamization" strategy — in which the South Vietnamese took over more responsibility for military operations — as "a policy of violence" that "means war and more war."
He supported every end-the-war resolution that came before the Senate until the U.S.-backed Saigon government fell in 1975.
In 1969, he wrested the post of Senate majority whip from Russell B. Long, a powerful Senate veteran from Louisiana. Winning by five votes, Kennedy at 36 became the youngest majority whip in the history of the Senate.
He lost the position to Byrd of West Virginia in 1971, in part because tallying votes and tending to tedious detail were not among his strengths, but also partly because of his preoccupation with a scandal two years earlier that claimed the life of a young womanand changed forever the arc of his political career.
On July 18, 1969, Kennedy attended a small get-together of friends and Robert Kennedy campaign workers on Chappaquiddick, a narrow island off Martha's Vineyard.
Late that night, the car he was driving ran off a narrow wooden bridge and plunged into a tidal pool. His only passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, one of the "boiler room girls" in Robert Kennedy's 1968 campaign, drowned.
Kennedy, who failed to report the incident to police for about nine hours, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of an accident. He received a two-month suspended sentence and lost his driver's license for a year.In a televised speech on July 25, six days after Kopechne's death, Kennedy confessed to being so addled by the accident that he was not thinking straight. "I was overcome, I'm frank to say, by a jumble of emotions: grief, fear, doubt, exhaustion, panic, confusion and shock," he said.
Kennedy's public statement did little to quell rumors about what actually happened. For years, speculation about the multilayered mystery was almost as intense as that surrounding the assassination of his brother, the president.
Although Kennedy denied rumors of intoxication or a "private relationship" with the young woman, lingering doubts about the incident ended, at least for a few years, any presidential ambitions the senator might have had.
He easily won reelection to the Senate in 1970, and by the late 1970s, the Chappaquiddick incident had faded enough that Democrats were again talking about a Kennedy challenge to a faltering Carter presidency. A 1978 Gallup poll showed that rank-and-file Democrats preferred Kennedy over Jimmy Carter the incumbent by 54 to 32 percent. Kennedy decided to run, but his brief, inept campaign managed mainly to wound the Democrat already occupying the White House.
The fatal wound to Kennedy's presidential hopes came during an hour-long interview with Roger Mudd on Nov. 4, 1979, when the CBS journalist asked him the most basic of questions: "Why do you want to be president?" His muddled, stammering response — Kennedy "made Yogi Berra sound like [Israeli statesman] Abba Eban," columnist Mark Shields observed — made the question moot from that moment on.
He stayed in the race until the 1980 Democratic National Convention in New York's Madison Square Garden, where the party faithful got a glimpse of the candidate who might have been when he delivered one of the great speeches of his career. In powerful, ringing tones, his "dream shall never die" speech called on the party to recommit itself to vintage Democratic values.
"Programs may sometimes become obsolete, but the idea of fairness always endures," he proclaimed. "Circumstances may change, but the work of compassion must continue. . . ."
He congratulated Carter and then concluded his speech with the passion and defiance that had become vintage Kennedy: "For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end. For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
Delegates leaped to their feet. Their uproarious demonstration lasted more than half an hour.
With the White House out of reach, Kennedy gave himself to the Senate and relied on a staff that most observers considered the best on Capitol Hill. His aides stayed longer than most assistants in other offices, in part because Kennedy entrusted them with responsibility and relied on their expertise. Occasionally, he supplemented their salaries from his own funds to keep them from leaving.
In 1987, he took the lead in opposing President Ronald Reagan's nomination of Robert H. Bork to the Supreme Court. Kennedy portrayed Bork, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, as a right-wing activist and helped doom the nominee. "In Robert Bork's America," Kennedy said, "there is no room at the inn for blacks and no place in the Constitution for women; and, in our America, there should be no seat on the Supreme Court for Robert Bork."
His unsuccessful opposition to the high court nomination of Clarence Thomas in 1991 was less vocal, partly because he was preoccupied by an incident in which a nephew, William Kennedy Smith, was arrested and charged with rape in Palm Beach, Fla. (Smith was acquitted.)
The senator and his wife, Joan Bennett Kennedy, who struggled with alcoholism for many years, divorced in 1982 after 24 years of marriage. Tales of public drunkenness, womanizing and loutish behavior dogged him for the next decade. At the same time, he conscientiously carried out his role of family patriarch. As the oldest surviving Kennedy male, he was not only father to his own three children but also surrogate father to more than two dozen nieces and nephews.
In a 1991 speech at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, Kennedy made an apology of sorts for his personal misconduct. "I recognize my own shortcomings, the faults in the conduct of my private life," he said. "I realize that I alone am responsible for them, and I am the one who must confront them."
Kennedy seemed to regain his footing, personally and politically, after his marriage in 1992 to Victoria Anne Reggie, a lawyer from a Louisiana political family. She survives, along with Kennedy's sister; three children from his first marriage, Kara Anne Kennedy, Edward M. Kennedy Jr. and Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy (D-R.I.); two stepchildren; and four grandchildren.
In 1994, Edward Kennedy defeated a Senate challenge by Republican businessman Mitt Romney and never faced another serious battle for his seat.
Although his party lost the White House six years later, Kennedy remained in the thick of the legislative action. President Bush's signature piece of domestic legislation, the No Child Left Behind bill, was going nowhere in early 2001, when Kennedy, who had put his mark on nearly every education law since the 1960s, declared his support. He considered the bill a worthy effort to increase public-school accountability through rigorous standardized testing.
With Kennedy and Rep. George Miller (D-Calif.) corralling skeptical Democratic votes, the most important education legislation in decades became law in early 2002.
Six years later, the law's renewal faced widespread opposition from those who considered No Child Left Behind a balky and unworkable intrusion into local control of schools. Kennedy again came to its rescue, despite his deep and bitter opposition to the Bush administration on a number of issues. He argued that the law had made schools better but that it had flaws that needed to be fixed.
On most other issues, most notably the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Kennedy was bitterly opposed to the Bush administration. He once said that his proudest Senate vote was his 2002 vote against authorizing Bush to use military force against Iraq.
"There was no imminent threat," he said in a 2004 speech at the Brookings Institution. "This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud."
In January 2008, at a rally at American University, Kennedy endorsed the presidential candidacy of another early opponent of the war, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.). Declaring that "it is time for a new generation of leadership" in America, he passed over his friend, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), who also sought the Democratic nomination for president. Kennedy campaigned for Obama until suffering a seizure that May.
Three months later, Kennedy left his hospital bed and flew to the Democratic National Convention in Denver. Slowly making his way to the podium to the cheers, and tears, of 20,000 rapturous fellow Democrats, he proclaimed, in a voice still strong, "a season of hope."
Delegates of a certain age heard echoes of his brother's 1961 inaugural address and of his own impassioned speech in Madison Square Garden nearly three decades earlier.
"This is what we do," he proclaimed. "We scale the heights; we reach the moon."

- "Hermione screamed in pain, and Harry turned his wand on her in time to see a jewelled goblet tumbling from her grip. But as it fell, it split, became a shower of goblets, so that a second later, with a great clatter, the floor was covered in identical cups rolling in every direction, the original impossible to discern amongst them."
- —The Gemino Curse used in conjunction with the Flagrante Curse in the Lestrange Vault[src]
The Doubling Charm[2] (Geminio) is a charm used to duplicate an object, creating an exact replica of the target entity. It can also be used to curse an object into multiplying repeatedly when touched, whereupon it is called the Gemino Curse.[3]
The Doubling Charm was invented by a pair of reclusive twin witches, Helixa and Syna Hyslop, who used it to create duplicates of every item inside their mansion, in which they lived together their whole lives. After their deaths, their relatives finally learned of this practise, discovering two, duplicated sets of hand-written instructions for the spell, one left by each twin.[2]
There was much debate over whether a copy created with the Doubling Charm held the same value as the original, as the two items were impossible to tell apart at first, being identical to one another.[2] However, over time, the copy tended to rot or tarnish more quickly than the original, making it possible to identify eventually. Because of this, the replicas created through this charm are considered to have no value or worth.[2] It is also unknown as to whether or not the Doubling Charm can duplicate living or sentient beings, or if it is able to replicate an object's magical properties.
An odd characteristic of the spell, for which a solution was never found, was that only the original caster could stop the multiplication of the object.[2] If for some reason the caster was interrupted in his/her casting, the object would continue multiplying for hours or even days, stopping only when the copies began to break down. As such, it can be presumed that the Doubling Charm may produce both a single copy, or multiple, depending on the caster's intentions.[2] This indefinite replication property could apparently be harnessed as a security measure as the Gemino Curse, with this spell causing valuable objects to begin multiplying out of control when touched by an intruder or potential thief, thus quickly filling up the space with worthless copies of the original object, and trapping or crushing the trespassers.
Known uses
|Hermione Granger
|2 September, 1997
|This spell was used by Hermione, creating an exact duplicate of the locket they had stolen from Dolores Umbridge, and giving the replica to the Inquisitor, so that she would not suspect that the locket was missing from her person. Although the spell created an object with exactly the same appearance, it did not duplicate the portion of Tom Riddle's soul that was contained within the locket.
|Employees at Gringotts Wizarding Bank
|Employees cast this curse as well as the Flagrante Curse on all of the valuable objects within the Lestrange Vault. When Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger entered the vault in order to retrieve Helga Hufflepuff's Cup, the treasures multiplied repeatedly, and nearly crushed the trio after it had grown so large in number, having formed piles that nearly touched the ceiling. The objects proliferated rapidly, the duplicates multiplying themselves, and duplicates resulting from those duplications, ad infinitum.
Latin geminare meaning "to double".

McKee Denies Nervous Plotter Gave 'Tip On Kidnaping Plans
Says First Information Was Received From Bridgeport Miner

October 6, 1934
McKee Denies Nervous Plotter Gave 'Tip On Kidnaping Plans
Says First Information Was Received From Bridgeport Miner
Bowen Visited By His Wife Friday; Pair Listen To Ball Game
Denial of the report that the information on the Bloch kidnaping plans had been received from a person who had been a member of the plot but later became fearful of the law, was made Friday afternoon by Prosecutor Don McKee.
McKee made this denial following an item of a newspaper service claiming federal agents had reported the "tip" had been received from a third person who had withdrawn from the plot.
The prosecutor said that the first information as to the plot was made to him on September 22. He said, "It is a man who resides in Bridgeport and I believe he is a miner, but I will not tell his name. This man told me that he had heard the two men talking on the street and that he should report the conversation to authorities.
"I did not think much of the report at the time," McKee continued, "but I could not let it pass without a complete check. I later called in agents of the department after which time it was learned that such a plot was being hatched. The additional information resulted in the organization of the police agencies and brought a successful conclusion of the investigation.
"I do not deny that there may have been a third person in the plot, but we did not receive the 'tip' from such a person. The third person, in my opinion, was to step into the case after Miss Bloch had been seized. The victim was likely to be taken to the home of this person and it may have been that the ransom transactions would be completed through this person."
McKee further stated that the investigation into the case is not being dropped because Thurman F. Bowen, 31, and Harry Thornton, 31, both of Bridgeport, are being held in the Ohio county jail. He said that officers are still seeking all evidence possible.
Federal agents are still known to be in the Bridgeport section and are attempting to secure evidence. The place where Miss Bloch was to be hidden after her abduction has not been located, although reports have been that the hide-out was to be located on Kirkwood Heights where there are a number of abandoned houses.
A thorough check of the Kirkwood Heights section was being made after residents had reported they had seen men about homes that have not been occupied for months. It could not be learned Friday evening if agents had found any concrete evidence in this section of the Bridgeport district.
Bowen and Thornton, arrested late Wednesday evening, after they had abandoned their plans to seize the heiress as she left the Howard Apartment in Pleasant Valley following a party in her honor. The pair, under the watchful eyes of police, were seen near the apartment house and later withdrew after noting the well lighted grounds and complicated road leading to the National road.
The pair made complete confessions after being questioned for several hours, claiming that they alone had plotted the kidnaping. They later pleaded guilty to charges of a conspiracy to violate the Lindbergh kidnaping law and are being held on default of $100,000 bonds. Their case will be presented to the U. S. district court grand jury, October 26. The charges carry a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The two men are said to be resigned to their fate. Both are reported to have listened to the radio report of the world series baseball game. A radio has been installed in the cell block of the jail and the two defendants took an active interest in the game.
Mrs. Bessie Bowen, Bowen's wife and the mother of his five-year-old daughter, visited him for a few minutes in jail Friday afternoon. They conversed in low tones. The strain that the wife has been under since the arrest was notic[e]able. She returned early Friday evening and gave the jailer a change of clothing for her husband. She did not talk to him at this time.
Miss Betty Bloch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse A. Bloch, who was to have been the victim of the plot, was in much better spirits Friday. She had been told of the plot soon after the reports were received and was under a constant nervous strain, but had not shown one sign of breaking down.
The wedding of the intended victim is scheduled for this afternoon at the Bloch home in Pleasant Valley. She is to marry Wilmot L. Harris, formerly of Washington, D. C., and now of Wheeling. The plans for the wedding had been carried foreward [sic] although the bride-to-be was in constant danger.
Thornton and Bowen are held on charges of a conspiracy to violate the so-called Lindbergh kidnaping law. The warrant, which was served on the pair at the Ohio county jail by U. S. Marshal Harry Weiss, charges that they had planned to kidnap the heiress and take her into Ohio. It is also charged that chloroform was purchased and was to be used to stiffle [sic] any cries Miss Bloch would make after she had been seized.

The president of Caltech, Jean-Lou Chameau, announced Tuesday that he would step down from the leadership of the prestigious science- and math-oriented campus in Pasadena at the end of the current school year and become head of a new and well-endowed university in Saudi Arabia.
Chameau, a French-born civil engineer, has been president of Caltech since 2006 and helped the school maintain its high international academic rankings and achieve greater financial stability during a recessionary period of retrenchment at many other colleges, education experts said.
In statements released Tuesday, Chameau did not cite any reason for leaving Caltech other than the opportunity to become president of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia. The graduate-level school enrolled its first students in 2009 and, in English, educates men and women together, to the dismay of some Islamic fundamentalists. It was founded with a $10-billion endowment from the oil-rich Saudi royal family.
"Until recently, I believed I would complete my career at Caltech and retire in Pasadena. I did not expect, however, to be presented with a unique and life-changing opportunity to lead KAUST," said Chameau, 59, in a statement. He said he was drawn to that campus' plans for "a 21st century university that serves as a beacon for learning and research and for contributions that both make to human welfare."

"Young and the Restless" star Michael Muhney has been killed off on the show in a bizarre way ... after menacingly reaching for something between his co-star's legs.
No, it's not an H.R. complaint ... it was for Muhney's final "Y&R" appearance where his character Adam bought the farm by driving off a cliff.
TMZ broke the story ... Muhney was fired last month for allegedly groping 20-year-old co-star Hunter King's breasts on 2 different occasions.
Wonder what role he'll get his hands on next.

Crab, Artichoke and Potato Croquettes – Three of my favorites go Dutch
This version is incredibly easy to make and you will love its crisp, crunchy outside and the soft, tasty inside. The secret to the crisp coating is the Panko Japanese breadcrumbs. You can get these at the supermarket, and they really make a big difference. If you can't find them (well, quite frankly, you didn't try hard enough), you can use regular plain breadcrumbs and still get a nice result.
There is no secret to the delectable filling inside; you take potato, crab and artichoke, smash it all together. Three ingredients that are certainly terrific alone really enjoy each others company in this satisfying recipe. Of course, you don't have to keep your mix so simple; adding lemon, garlic, herbs, and/or other exotic spices wouldn't be a bad idea at all.
We served this under our Olive Oil Poached Tuna, but it makes a great main course all by itself. You can even do small half-dollar size and serve them as passed appetizers at that swanky holiday party.
1 large cooked russet potato
1 can artichoke bottoms (14 oz)
8 oz crab meat
1 egg
Salt, black pepper and cayenne to taste
olive oil
Panko or plain breadcrumbs
fresh lemon optional

Hi Chef John,
I really love the taste of Crab and Artichoke dip, but not the calories. So I added a little Old Bay seasoning, garlic, horseradish and Parmesan cheese to your mixture. I really enjoyed it without all the calories. Yum :)

what did you leave out?
- May 2, 2007 at 12:02 PM
little snooty point. the Japanese would say "pAHnko", like "On" or "Olive" rather than "pAnko" like, well, "pan." maybe it's less fun that way

That's my Shortsville, NY accent! I love when my viewers correct the way I say stuff, and also when they point out mistakes in me grammer. Thanks!
Sometimes I even do it on purpose so because they can comment then. :P

C'mon chefy - don't get testy, annon was trying to be nice about giving a prounounciation tip - not a burn across your torso!
Shortsville, huh? Do you happen to know the name of the tallest guy to ever live there? The shortest one?
- May 2, 2007 at 4:05 PM

no, i wasnt upset, i was serious about liking those kind of comments. Although I was kidding about the grammar part... i think I write and talk good enough gramaristically.

oh, and the tallest guy, we just called him Stretch.
As far as shortest...there was a pretty short dude, I forget the name, i think he got into politics at one point.... oh yeah, it was Dennis Kucinich, who was old man Kucinich's kid.

I decided to bake the potato which allowed me time to go to the store and get some of the ingredients for this dish. I think next time I'll boil the potato as the final mix seemed on the dry side. I added some chopped cilantro I had on hand, about a half cups worth. I seasoned with salt, pepper, Old Bay, and Chipolte pepper. I made 6 croquettes, each the size of a small burger. We ate 2 of them last night, pan fried. They were quite good and my girlfriend liked them somewhat better than I did. For me, the interior just wasn't quite hot enough (I do like my food piping hot). We'll have two more tonight and I'm going to deep fry them instead.
- May 3, 2007 at 11:13 AM
- Chef John said...
Sounds like a great version. And, of course, anything is good deep fried.
- May 3, 2007 at 11:55 AM
I liked this better deep-fried. It had a crunchier texture and was piping hot. One drawback though is the taste of the potato comes thru a bit more and the crab taste is lessened.

Thanks for reminding me, Chef John, another scrumptious looking recipe :) I missed croquettes, especially the ones with the salmon, Southern cooking style, with some grits on the side..yummy !

Mine fell apart. It was still good but looked more like crab hashbrowns. Would an extra egg or some milk help?
- May 15, 2008 at 12:28 PM
- Chef John said...
egg yes, milk no. They are kind of delicate. I make sure the first side has a nice crust before carefully turning. Maybe cook longer on a lower heat for the first side.

Hey Chef John,
I want to say thanks for all the wonderful and hard work you put into this site and I really enjoy watching your videos over and over again each day trying to imitate your cooking. I just finished trying your crab, potato, artichoke croquette and my first batch was more like nuggets than croquettes. I think it might have been to my misunderstanding of which weight to follow. For example, your recipe list says 14oz artichoke bottoms and and 8 oz crab meat. A can of artichoke bottoms and crabs has a net weight of 7.4 and 4.25. Do I go by the net weight or the overall weight? Thanks again and keep up the great videos and recipes.
- August 20, 2009 at 12:35 AM
- Chef John said...
You need 1 can of crab and 1 can of artichoke. I don't know what the drained weights are, those are the can sizes 14 and 8. Use one of each can size.
- August 20, 2009 at 9:16 AM
hmmm i think you could make a sandwich with the crab cake
you could slice the avocado, put some garlic or roasted red pepper aioli on the bread and then put the crab cake in
mmmm... that sounds good i think i'm hungry now

As chief product officer, I spend a lot of time talking with people outside FORBES about our unique model for journalism. Here's one question I get asked all the time: "What exactly are you guys up to?" I tell them we're working hard to produce better journalism by reinventing the century-old, timeworn newsroom processes still used by so many in the industry to report and cover the news.
My explanations revolve around a theme: journalism must be more about the individual -- the actual content creator (journalist or otherwise) and the person who's consuming the content. In the era of the social Web, journalism can best fulfill its essential mission to inform when the individual who possesses information connects, or transacts, one-on-one with the individual who desires it.
I've tried to listen to myself as I convey that message to editors, writers, clients and advertising agencies. I was struck recently by how much the language I use to discuss journalism today has changed. It's vastly different from 10 years ago -- and nothing at all like the famous five w's I learned a long, long time ago:
Old Language of Journalism:
Editors, reporters, stories, readers, anchors, viewers, advertisers, church, state, page one, column inches, rating points, photos, op-ed, sound bite, rewrite, correction, rim, slot, copy, blue line, press run, bull pen, bull dog edition, cover, picas, pages, broadcast, networks, broadsheet, bound, full bleed, register, takeout, ahed, lede story, copydesk, overnight, typeset, plate, inverted pyramid, wire, transmit, press time, stringer, "special to," foreign correspondent, bureau, phoner, spike, kill, presses, stet, double truck, dateline, notebook, file, night editor, copy boy, jump page, in depth, breaking, paid circ.
New Language of Journalism:
Content creators, posts, participants, comments, marketers, transparency, RSS feeds, authenticity, context, monetize, platform, CMS, video, engagement, data, brands, accountability, aggregation, self-correcting, search, social, friends, curate, distribution, promotion, product manager, project manager, impressions, screens, pixels, galleries, writer, blogger, blog, voice, update, conversation, dialogue, flow, streams, producer, slideshow, terminal, unique visitors, repeat visitors, time spent, page views, tweets, likes, check in, yield, apps, swipe, delete, scroll, timely, relevant, engaging, pay, free, UI, UX, algorithm, SEO, SMO.
Old or new, much of the language talks about journalism's need to observe, interpret and select, with all the biases that entails, conscious or not. The old language of journalism speaks to a moment in history, one defined by technology and social change that bestowed upon reporters and editors the power (often arrogantly perceived as authority) to be the sole collectors and decision-makers of worthy news. The new language of journalism speaks to new technologies and societal upheavals that democratize the journalistic processes of covering and distributing the news.
A down-and-dirty look at 300 years reveals a still unfolding story:
18th and 19th centuries: Publishers were mostly sole proprietors. They wrote, edited, printed and flogged their papers all by themselves (not unlike today's independent bloggers). The technology of printing limited the scale publishers could achieve. That produced many small papers defined by locality and often political agenda. In that environment, an abundance of voices and ideas vigorously competed for audiences. Advertising began to make an appearance even though mass-market consummerism had yet to take hold.
20th century: New technology, the beginnings of the mass market and rising literacy ushered in larger-circulation dailies. Newspapers gained advertising revenues by partnering with consumer enterprises that wanted to sell what they made. Those dollars were used to expand staffs and professionalize journalism (the first J school opened its doors in 1908). Scale and revenue permitted journalists to provide better information, though objectivity remained elusive. Competition reigned until a wave of media consolidation resulted in far fewer publishers, a couple of wire aggregators and a handful of cable news networks. The abundance of voices diminished and a select class of elite editors became keepers of "All the News That's Fit to Print" and "Fair and Balanced."
21st century: The technology of the Web revolutionized it all again, powering reach and scale that the industrialized media could have never imagined. Now, anyone (professional or not) can publish information, distribute it and build an audience far more cheaply than traditional publishers. The social Web breathes information in and out. It needs ever more participants to supply its version of oxygen. As it did in preceding centuries, technology is calling for -- in fact, demanding -- new processes to further realize the true mission of journalism.
The new language of journalism is all about the latest changes. Still, many of the profession's traditional practitioners have not yet realized they need to engage the social Web on its terms, not theirs. That means welcoming and engaging with all those who supply information: journalists, who undeniably have valuable skills; contributors, many of whom were once sources for journalists; freelancers seeking a voice; news enthusiasts (i.e. readers) who have their own base of knowledge; and marketers, experts in their own right. In expanding on a world of disparate voices that once existed in journalism, full transparency is required. Everyone must know who is doing the informing.
The social Web and its underlying technology is not the end of journalism. It's the next phase, as much about scalable ways to produce quality content as it is startups, engineers and algorithms. It's about developing a modern newsroom to process that content, then distribute it, track it and market it. Eventually, the new will give way to the newer. Today's vast array of fresh-faced information suppliers could very well become artifacts of 21st century technology, just as the notion of all-powerful editors and reporters is an artifact of previous technological change.
For now, there is no hiding from demands of social Web. The marketplace of ideas, not newsroom politics and friendships, will drive journalistic success. A reporter or writer can no longer hide behind an editor. An editor can't hide behind a fact checker. With this new self-correcting medium, you can't run from any subject, topic, person or company. As participants, the audience, too, must accept responsibility to be taken seriously. Everyone is accountable for what they're saying.

(April 19, 2005) - The Lady Bucs basketball team has signed three recruits who will join the team for the 2005-06 campaign beginning this fall. Head coach Karen Kemp will welcome Sharnae Hunt (
Hunt will join the 2005-06 roster from
"Sharnae is a talented post player that has her best basketball ahead of her. She has all the physical tools to come in and contribute as a freshman. We will look to Sharnae to come in and give us some of the scoring and rebounding that we will miss with the loss of Tiffani," Kemp said.
Coming from a successful high school program, Stackhouse will make an immediate impact on the court for ETSU this fall. Her 18.0 points per game and 7.0 rebounds per game highlight her explosive ability on the court both offensively and defensively. A 5'9 talented all-around athlete, Stackhouse will see time at both. Also playing on a highly successful high school team, Azubuike is a 5'10 shooting guard who will also see time at the point guard position. A three-year letterwinner for coach Greg Todd at Lexington Catholic, Adaeze was a member of the 2005 Kentucky State Championship team. A solid defender, Azubuike will make an immediate impact on the court for ETSU this fall. Adaeze's older brother Kelenna Azubuike was a member of the

Adaeze is a guard that can play both the point and shooting guard position, will look for her to make an immediate impact on the court for the 2005-06 season," head coach Kemp said. "Farren is an extremely talented athlete and will look to compete for instant minutes at the small forward position. With the addition of these two guards, our perimeter game will be even stronger than the past few years."
ETSU will enter its first season competing in the Atlantic Sun Conference this fall, and Kemp is very excited about the addition of the talented incoming class, "With the addition of these three talented freshmen and our returning veteran players next fall, the future for ETSU Lady Buc Basketball is on the rise and looking forward to great things in the Atlantic Sun Conference."

Good Things About Being Brown
Growing up and going to school in London in the 1980s meant that I witnessed a fair bit of racist tendencies; the rise of the National Front and a few racially lead riots and skirmishes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I witnessed any of the riots first hand, god no, we were far too middle class for that! But there was a bit of "racism" at school, which people grew out of after they matured a bit. They're now all politicians, heads of police forces, newspapers and those other places where racism, bigotry and corruption just don't exist.
Since those days though I can honestly say I've always felt quite glad to be a brown fellow.
It's not one of my favourite colours though. I like a decent pair of brown shoes, preferring them over black except when the need to be very formal crops up. I do own some miscellaneous brown clothes, but I can't see myself ever buying a brown car. Red, as far as cars go, and usually they do, is my most bestest favouritest choice.
In as much as skin colour goes I'm pretty pleased with the brown option. Black is nice. I prefer the look of brown but I'd quite like the natural rhythm of a black person. Instead most of us brown people are born with a natural ability to dance like a pissed up Sri Lankan Uncle at a second cousin's brother's wife's daughter's wedding. Which is a bummer. On the other hand we don't have the big nostrils, which is good.
I fail to understand why some people buy and use all these products to make themselves whiter. Seriously, what's all that about, we've got the perfect tone already, why do you want to look white?
I see white people sunbathing, working on their tans and spending days and weeks trying to look more like us. And, though some health freak will no doubt comment and say that we should do, we never have to use all that sunblock and whatnot, because we don't get orange in the sun. Not that we sit in it for hours anyhow.
The other day, which is why I started to write this in the first place, I saw a friend, of the white variety. It was in January and she'd just returned from a Christmas holiday in Goa. She'd evidently spent a large part of this holiday doing some of that aforementioned sunbathing (which means I mentioned it before).
How do I know this?
Well I'll tell you how I know this.
I will so.
She was bright fucking orange.
I kid you not.
Bright luminous intense orange. I mean so bright and so orange that if I was looking for a nice juicy orange to play the part of a nice juicy orange in an advert I was filming for some new orange juice made from special genetically modified orange oranges, then I'd use her as an example of how orange I'd need him (or her) to be. Then I'd day, well actually we need him (or her) to be about half that strength of orangeness.
And she was clearly proud of the colour too. I shook my head in that bemused fashion.
It's good to be brown. Even if we can't dance.

two posts in a week? wowie.
as for being brown. is it just me or is it the older generation of women who are obsessed with being fair (and lovely). never bothered me or my friends tho. in any case, i'd rather be brown than orange any day :)
- GG said...
hahaha! yeah I've seen them strange orange people.
It was in Nelson Mandela's book that he had said he saw a black man wearing a t-shirt which read "Black by nature, Proud by choice", which just stuck in my mind
- David Blacker said...
Oh lots of the younger generation are pretty obsessed with being fair, and it's not just the women.
- Katie said...
I'm white, the red head variety. I burn very easily, and am always jealous of my Sri Lanka Italian fiance.
I find all shades beautiful. I hated seeing all the whitening creams, when we holidayed in Sri Lanka.
- cj said...
According to my knowledge skin whitening cream is a South Asian phenomenon. For instance I don't think they sell Fair and Lovely in Africa. It made me really sad to be in the field of advertising the day I had to see a commercial depicting that a young girl is not attractive enough to be married due to her dark skin.
- Jalebi with Kadak Chai said...
Heyyy, of course we can dance! And we ought to learn from the old brown uncles at weddings who've clearly had one too many...
But being brown in London...those are some things in our heads (and our blog!) too.

My lip balm obsession is never ending; I am forever buying and losing them!
OMI Menturm is a Japanese brand that make an array of products, and they have some pretty well known lip balms that usually have a strong menthol scent and tingle. Being up for a gimmick I couldn't resist these Moist Cube or rather, Moiscube lip balms…
Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE CUBE SHAPED! Makes all the difference don't ya know!
There are 2 versions of this lip balms, Moisture Rich and Super Rich. Both sound very rich, don't you think!? I chose Super Rich.
These lip balms contain tsubaki oil (5%) and squalene & olive oil 25% which is extra hydrating! The texture of these balms ARE lovely; super soft and neither too thick nor too oily. It doesn't need warming up or anything like that.
They are supposed to have a light menthol scent – I personally just thought that this smelt of oil and over time it got annoying (I have this one on my desk at work at the moment) and the oily smell started to irritate me. Maybe because it's not quite scentless, but it's not scented either.
Now does the cube shape work better or feel better on the lips?
Er, no. It makes little difference to anything, it's just the novelty, dah-ling.
I paid about £4 for this from eBay, mustn't grumble, it's pretty ok for a lip balm but I think I need a bit more pleasure to my daily lip balming, like, a nicer scent or perhaps a tint of colour.
What is your favourite lip balm?

How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
Robert's family, was called yesterday... his organs are shutting down and he will not make it more than 24-48 hours. Robert is non-Orthodox, but he and his family needs our prayers.
Please pray for the child, Robert and his family. He is 15 years old and has been battling bone cancer, and has been in the hospital since November. He is not doing well, and yesterday the family was informed that Robert is terminal.
Lord have mercy!this must be very hard on the family. There is a poster for the Make a Wish foundation, which I see on the bus on the way to work, with the title "It doesn't take super powers to make a child a superhero." In it, there is a boy named Michael dressed in a superhero costume, with the inscription "I wish to be a superhero-Michael "BeetleBoy." He looks like my son Michael, and I feel like crying every time I see it.

Harmanpreet Kaur: Indian Cricket's Powerpuff Girl
Harmanpreet Kaur has been slowly and gradually creating a name for herself as a big-hitting middle order batsman who could pack a punch in limited overs cricket. And the girl from Punjab produced the best knock of her career in the all important semi-final of the 2017 ICC Women's World Cup against defending champions Australia.
Coming in to bat with the score on 35/2, Harmanpreet first repaired the damage done at the top of the innings by stringing a 66-run stand with skipper Mithali Raj. She then came into her own in the last 10 overs as she dispatched the Australian bowlers all around the park to notch up her third ODI century.
Harmanpreet's strokeplay was of the highest quality as she played shots both on the on and off side of the wicket. The right-handed batswoman was lethal against the spinners as she displayed great footwork to dance down the track and hit some humongous shots.
She also became only the second Indian cricketer to post a total in excess of 150 as she ended the day with a superlative unbeaten knock of 171, which is the second highest individual score by an Indian in ODI cricket and the tied fifth highest overall.
Harmanpreet hit 20 boundaries and 7 huge sixes during her stay in the middle as she orchestrated a scathing attack on the heavyweight Australians.
Speaking after her knock Harmanpreet said that she wanted to make the most of the opportunity as she didn't get a lot of balls to bat earlier in the tournament.
"I was hitting the ball well and wanted to take the responsibility of taking the team to a big total," Harmanpreet said.
Harmanpreet, who made her ODI debut in the year 2009 has been an integral part of the Indian team for close to a decade now. She made history earlier this year by becoming the first Indian cricketer to feature in a foreign Twenty20 cricket tournament after she was named in the 13-member squad for the Sydney Thunder franchise in the Women's Big Bash League.
In July 2016, Harmanpreet Kaur created history as she became the first Indian player to be signed up for the Big Bash League. She was also named Sydney Thunder's Women's Player of the Year award for the second season of the Women's Big Bash League.
During her time with the franchise, Kaur played in 13 matches and scored 296 runs at a very, very impressive average of 59 and a strike-rate 116.

Watching the sun set over the ocean is a really special experience. And of course you want to take some magnificent photographs to capture these impressions. Yet the photographic equipment is not so easy to master. Without a stand and the correct exposure setting, the results are usually less spectacular than one would hope. Here are four tips from our Tamron expert to enable you to easily capture fantastic photographs.
August 15, 2014, Saitama, Japan – Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Morio Ono), a leading manufacturer of precision optics, has announced that the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has presented its European Lens 2014-2015 awards to two Tamron lenses; 16-300mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD MACRO (Model B016) for "European DSLR Zoom Lens 2014-2015" and SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD (Model A011) for "European DSLR Telephoto Zoom Lens 2014-2015."
Photographer Peter van Bohemen would never have imagined that he would one day go travelling with a 600mm telephoto lens. But he has now done just that twice: He flew to America with the new Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5.6-6.3 Di VC USD in the spring – and then managed to even smuggle it along with him on a family holiday in the summer.
Do you still stick to the old rule of always taking photos standing with your back to the sun? It's high time to break this habit as quickly as you can! To take really good pictures you actually need to confront the light quite often.

Marie-Joseph Lagrange, (born March 7, 1855, Bourg-en-Bresse, Fr.—died March 10, 1938, Marseille), French theologian and outstanding Roman Catholic biblical scholar.
Lagrange became a Dominican in 1879 and was ordained in 1883. After teaching church history at Toulouse (1884–88), he studied Oriental languages at the University of Vienna before his order sent him to Jerusalem in 1890 to establish the School of Biblical Studies. There he also founded (1892) a journal, the Revue Biblique ("Biblical Review"), and in 1903 began a series of scholarly commentaries on the Bible, the Études bibliques ("Biblical Studies"), to which he contributed three volumes: on the historical method of Old Testament criticism, on the Book of Judges, and on the Semitic religions.
Europe was at that time experiencing the effects of papally censured modernism, an intellectual movement that sought to reinterpret traditional Roman Catholic teaching. Although Lagrange welcomed the papal antimodernist pronouncements, his commentary on Genesis (1906) so clearly represented the modernist viewpoint that he was subjected to strong criticism. In 1912 opposition to some of his methods caused his superiors to recall him to France. He was later sent back to Jerusalem, where he taught, except during World War I, until his death.
Lagrange wrote important commentaries for the Études on Mark (1911), Romans (1916), Galatians (1918), Luke (1921), Matthew (1923), and John (1925). His chief books include Le Judaïsme avant Jésus-Christ (1931; "Judaism Before Jesus Christ"), Histoire ancienne du canon du Nouveau Testament (1933; "Ancient History of the Canon of the New Testament"), and Critique textuelle—La Critique rationelle (1935; "Textual Criticism—The Rational Criticism"), considered to be his masterpiece.

As both the Orthodox and Catholic Church's celebrate the feast day on the same date this year, I wanted to wish our Catholic friends on the board a blessed and glorious Palm Sunday!"Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that comes in the name of the Lord!"
How do you say it in Greek again? (I can't believe I forgot already)But as I used to say it, in Hebrew, "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai!"

Enhanced Geothermal Systems and Calpine/Unocal Geysers Networks
EGS at The Geysers
- 2017/07/19
- Gap in BG (Geysers) data July 8-9, 2017
In 2009 the US Department of Energy (USDOE) Geothermal Technologies Program began an Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) project to investigate the process of enhancing high temperature geologic formations to provide commercial scale electric power generation. As part of this effort, demonstration projects were initiated that were jointly funded by industry and DOE. One of the main components of the demonstration projects is to record local seismicity before during and after the injection of water into the hot rocks to provide information that may indicate the creation of permeable fractures as well provide information on the generation of any induced seismicity. Lawrence Berkeley National Labs Earth Sciences Division was funded to perform this EGS earthquake monitoring. The NCEDC is archiving both event and waveform data that is being generated from each of the DOE demonstration sites data and providing it to the public.
Current EGS sites include projects at The Geysers, California, including the NW Geysers EGS project.

Calpine/Unocal Geysers Seismic Network
The Calpine Geysers seismic network, consisting of up to 49 different borehole monitoring sites, was initially deployed and operated by the Unocal Geothermal Division on behalf of the geothermal energy producers in the California Geysers geothermal field. In 1999, the Unocal geothermal fields at the Geysers were acquired by the Calpine Corporation. Calpine has continued Unocal's collaboration with the NCEDC and has made data available for public distribution.
The Calpine/Unocal Geysers dataset is a collection of digial microearthquake seismograms recorded by this network. Over 10 years of digital microearthquake seismograms (1989 through 2000) have been released for archiving and distribution through the NCEDC.
Calpine has also released an unedited earthquake catalog for events in 1995-1998 with approximate times and very rough hypocenters for some of the event represented in the time series, primarily as an index aid for the waveforms. Calpine makes no claims that this catalog is complete in any manner, and assumes no responsibilty for the accuracy or usefulness of the catalog data.
- Network Code
- Station information
The Geysers network has evolved over time, with different station
configurations and different recording systems. In 1989, the
w array covered the northeastern part of the field and was
operated for about a year, using a Sprengnether processer called
QLog. In late 1989, the station coverage was expanded
fieldwide and the QLog was replaced with an Owl processor
(g array), with some overlap between the two systems.
In 1992, the Owl processer was replaced with an IASPEI system
(f array).
The Geysers sensors are deployed in a combination of surface and borehole installations. The borehole stations are SB4B, SQK, DXR, STY, FUM, FNF, TCH, and DVB. The sensors are HS-1, with data digitized at 100 sps.
The orientation of the surface sensors is denoted by the channel name - e.g. ***N and ***E. The borehole sensors are not oriented and are typically named ***X and ***Y.
- Lists of station locations
- Map of station locations
- Data Access
The 1989-2000 microearthquake waveform data are available in its native PCQL
format as an assembled dataset at the NCEDC.
- w array - 1989.001 through 1989.365.
- g array - 1989.279 through 1992.218.
- f array - 1992.218 through 2000.366.
Several program exist to convert the data to AH or MiniSEED format:
- pcql2ah - convert PCQL data to Lamont AH xdr format.
- pcql2ms - convert PCQL data to MiniSEED Steim1 format.
The unedited earthquake catalog for events is available:

ECHL Game Night: 12-15-12
Florida Everblades 2 @ Kalamazoo Wings 1
F Alex Hutchings, FLA: 0-0-0, -1, 1 SOG, 0 PIM
Season totals: 19 GP, 8-9-17, E, 17 PIM
D Charles Landry, FLA: 0-0-0, -1, 0 SOG, 0 PIM
Season totals: 21 GP, 1-5-6, +3, 21 PIM
F Maxime Langelier-Parent, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 1 GP, 1-0-1, -1, 0 PIM
(Syracuse Crunch contract)
D Daniel Milan, FLA: 0-0-0, E, 1 SOG, 0 PIM
Season totals: 12 GP, 1-0-1, -2, 12 PIM
G Pat Nagle, FLA: Did not play
Season totals: 12 GP, 5-5-1, 0 SO, 3.47 GAA, 315 S / 355 SA (.887 SV%)
With Florida down 1-0 to Kalamazoo in the third period, locked-out NHL defenseman Ryan O'Byrne, by scoring and assisting on a subsequent goal by Matt Marquardt, helped spark a come-from-behind victory in the final few minutes of regulation that extended the Everblades winning-streak to five games. John Muse, who made his fifth-straight start, stopped twenty-four of twenty-five shots in the match. The trio of Lightning prospects (Hutchings, Landry and Milan) barely registered on the stat sheet but were part of a stifling defense that kept the Wings offense in check, especially over the course of the final two frames. With Pat Nagle still out, Florida's equipment manager, John Sellars, served as backup to Muse again. Maxime Langelier-Parent, still out due to injury, were also inactive. Florida (13-8-5, 31 PTS), which has one last game remaining on this seven-game road trip, moves on to face Toledo (15-10-1, 31 PTS), now a divisional-leader in the standings, on Sunday.
Alaska Aces 2 @ Utah Grizzlies 1 (OT)
F Nate Thompson, AK: Did not play
Season totals: 24 GP, 7-14-21, +4, 23 PIM
With the only scoring in regulation occurring in the second period with both teams exchanging goals, play moved on to the extra session where Alaska overcame Utah in the shootout for another one-goal decision over the Grizzlies. Mark Guggenberger, in net for the Aces, stopped thirty-one of thirty-two shots for the game. Nate Thompson was inactive for the second-straight game. The Aces were also still absent the presence of Scott Gomez and Brandon Dubinsky, who is still recovering from injury. Alaska (20-8-0, 40 PTS) now heads home and will have a few days off before taking on Stockton (14-7-5, 33 PTS) on Wednesday.
