Herrera's versatility coming up big for Brewers
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
MILWAUKEE -- In the span of only a few days, Elian Herrera has gone from a paternity list fill-in to a vital member of the Brewers' 25-man roster.
Called up on Thursday when Lyle Overbay hustled home to attend the birth of his son, Herrera's stay was extended by outfielder Logan Schafer's stint on the disabled list for a hamstring injury. Now, with potential suspensions looming for center fielder Carlos Gomez and Martin Maldonado, Herrera stands to see time as the Brewers' starting center fielder and emergency catcher.
On Monday, Herrera was a last-minute addition to Milwaukee's starting lineup when left fielder Khris Davis was scratched with the stomach flu.
"Just be ready," Herrera said of his role. "I have to be ready wherever they need me. I have to take fly balls, I have to take ground balls, and I guess I have to catch bullpens, too."
In fact, he caught rehabbing reliever Brandon Kintzler's bullpen session on Monday. The Dodgers signed Herrera as a catcher in 2003, but by 2006 he was already playing second base and other positions. In recent years, Herrera, a switch-hitter, has embraced a utility role because of the opportunities it creates.
He has not caught in a professional game since his days in the Dominican Republic, but came close last year at Triple-A Albuquerque, when the Isotopes' starting catcher suffered an injury. In the end, Herrera wasn't needed.
"He did real good today," manager Ron Roenicke said of Herrera's work with Kintzler. "So, he's our backup. And [backup infielder Jeff] Bianchi has also been catching bullpens. He's been going out and catching in between innings. So we do have options. …
"If suspensions come down, the catching part is going to be big. Center [field] is big, too. We don't have anybody else who can play center. [Ryan Braun] is really our backup center fielder if we don't have Gomez or Herrera here."
Segura dropped in Brewers' batting order
MILWAUKEE -- Hoping to ease the early-season pressure on second-year shortstop Jean Segura, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke dropped him in the batting order on Monday. Segura, who usually hits second, was originally batting seventh against the Padres, but moved up to sixth when left fielder Khris Davis was scratched with an illness.
Segura began the day batting .233 with 13 singles, three doubles and a triple. His on-base percentage was just .263, and Segura's 76.7 percent ground-ball rate led Major League regulars. He had not homered in 260 regular-season plate appearances.
"I'm hoping it relaxes him more," Roenicke said of the lineup shift. "When you're hitting second, it's an important spot. You know you're supposed to be getting on base for the three, four, five [hitters], and when you're not doing it, you're pressing.
"This guy just needs to relax and hit. He's a really good hitter, and I want him to succeed, and this is the best way to do it."
Figaro joins bullpen; Kintzler getting close
MILWAUKEE -- The Brewers needed a fresh bullpen arm after battling the Pirates for 14 innings on Sunday, so they swapped Rob Wooten for Alfredo Figaro before Monday's series opener against San Diego. Wooten was optioned to Triple-A Nashville, and Figaro recalled.
Wooten's days were numbered anyway, because reliever Brandon Kintzler is due to return from the disabled list on Friday.
"It's hard when you go extra innings, and already because we've been winning, we've been using certain guys a lot," manager Ron Roenicke said. "I was looking at the sheet today, Kranny [pitching coach Rick Kranitz] and I were going over it, and certain guys have pitched a lot."
Kintzler, sidelined by a right rotator cuff strain, threw an intense bullpen session on Monday and said it went "great." He expects to throw a simulated game at Miller Park on Wednesday, and if that goes well, he will be back in the bullpen for Friday's game against the Cubs.
The reliable Kintzler's return will be very big for the Brewers, because they have yet to get comfortable using the seventh man in their bullpen, left-hander Wei-Chung Wang, a Rule 5 Draft pick who worked just twice in the team's first 19 games. Wang pitched a scoreless inning in a 4-0 loss to the Cardinals on April 14, and surrendered six runs in an 11-2 loss to the Pirates on Thursday.
By rule, if the Brewers want to get Wang into their stable of pitching prospects for next season and beyond, they must keep him in the Major Leagues all this year. That means others may have to occasionally shuttle back and forth to Nashville when a fresh arm is needed.
Wooten and Figaro have options, so they can generally go back and forth as much as the Brewers wish. Figaro last pitched on Friday for Nashville.
The Brewers could make moves this year "not just with the arms," Roenicke said, "but with the bench, also. There's times when a young guy sits on the bench for a long time and he needs at-bats, and it's a great time to flip-flop him and get some at-bats and get him going and then get him back [in the Majors]. That's the advantage of having some guys with options."
Top prospect Nelson throws seven scoreless
Right-hander Jimmy Nelson, the Brewers' No. 1 prospect and No. 81 overall, threw seven scoreless innings to lead Triple-A Nashville to a 7-0 victory Monday night at Omaha. It was the Sounds' first shutout of the season.
Nelson struck out nine and allowed just two hits and one walk to earn the win. Using his sinker, he was able to work efficiently. He generated six ground-ball outs and threw 96 pitches.
Once Nelson exited the game, left-hander Brent Leach threw two perfect innings to complete the two-hit shutout.
With his sterling start Monday, Nelson lowered his ERA to 1.80. In 25 innings this season, he has struck out 24 batters and walked seven.
Last call
• Davis got sick on the field near third base during batting practice and labored to the clubhouse, before he was scratched from the lineup on Monday. He is one of a number of players and coaches battling an illness lately, including Roenicke himself.

Disappointed Leimer deserves F1 seat
The new reigning champion of the F1 support series GP2 will not move up to the pinnacle of motor sport in 2014.
Since the series' inception in 2005, every single champion became - or, in the case of Giorgio Pantano, had already been - a formula one driver.
But that run stopped with the 2012 champion, when Davide Valsecchi carried the GP2 crown to a mere test role with Lotus. The Italian now looks set to bow out of formula one altogether.
Now, the 2013 champion, Swiss Fabio Leimer, is also missing out on F1.
The Swiss newspaper Blick speculates that his financial backing, formerly bolstered by Rainer Gantenbein, has now run dry.
Leimer, 24, admits to being disappointed.
"From a sporting point of view I deserve it," he said.
Veteran Blick correspondent Roger Benoit said Leimer is currently looking into potential moves to the German touring car series DTM, or the world sports car series.

Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis in Horses Reviewed
Osteoarthritis of the carpometacarpal joint (the lower joint space of the knee in a horse's front leg) is a debilitating and life-threatening condition. However, surgically fusing the joint appears to be a viable treatment option in affected horses, say veterinary researchers and surgeons from the Western College of Veterinary Medicine in Saskatchewan, Canada.
A retrospective review of medical records of 33 horses diagnosed with carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC-OA) revealed this condition occurs primarily in middle age and older Quarter Horses and Arabians. Predominant clinical signs are severe lameness preventing normal use and swelling over the junction of the second carpal and second metacarpal bones.
According to the authors, "Carpometacarpal osteoarthritis in horses is characterized by progressive and debilitating lameness that responds poorly to medical treatment with most affected horses being euthanized within 4 years of diagnosis" and "conventional treatment methods are unsuccessful for treating CMC-OA."
In light of this dismal outcome, the authors evaluated the use of a surgical technique called arthrodesis--the surgical fixation of a joint to ultimately result in bone fusion--for treating CMC-OA.
Twelve horses (15 limbs) underwent arthrodesis of the CMC joint using a "fanning" technique with the drill bit. Key findings of the study were:
- 10/12 (83%) of horses experienced slight to moderate pain postoperatively (during the first 30 days);
- 11/12 (92%) of horses were capable of returning to work by 6 months postoperatively;
- At an average of 28.6 months, postoperatively, 10/12 (83%) of horses were considered sound and 8/12 (67%) had returned to their pre-CMC-OA activities, and
- 100% of the owners considered the surgery a success.
In light of these findings, the authors stated, "Arthrodesis of the CMC joint should be considered a treatment option for CMC-OA."
Three separate studies on CMC-OA and arthrodesis of the CMC joint were published in tandem by Panizzi et al. in the December edition of the journal Veterinary Surgery. The abstracts are available for free by searching the journal's December 2009 Table of Contents.

Acquired by the Angels on Tuesday from Atlanta in exchange for first baseman Casey Kotchman and Minor League pitcher Steve Marek, veteran first baseman Mark Teixeira brings a new switch-hitting production source to one of baseball's strongest teams. He posted a .283 average with 20 homers and 78 RBI in 102 games this season with the Braves, to which he was traded at the deadline in 2007. Among National League batters, the 28-year-old ranked fifth in walks (65), sixth in RBI and tied for fifth with a ratio of an RBI every 4.9 at-bats. He's a two-time Gold Glove winner and he was an All-Star in 2005. Here are excerpts from his media conference call on Tuesday:
Q: Can you talk in general about this trade?
Teixeira: I'm very excited. I told my teammates in Atlanta, good luck, but, at the same time, I have a chance to win a World Series now with the Angels, and I'm really looking forward to that opportunity. I have a lot of respect for the (Braves) organization, having been around the club for as long as I have, and I'm very happy to now be on the other side. I had been with Texas for so long, and I'm looking forward to this.
Q: You had a lot of success last year in the month of August after getting traded to Atlanta from the Braves midseason. Can you talk about that experience and how that might apply for this year?
Teixeira: As a player, everybody wants to be in a pennant race. Every player wants to have the chance to win a World Series. In Texas last year, we weren't in that situation. When I went to the Braves, we were three or so games out at the trade deadline last year, and I came in and got very excited to be a part of the pennant race. It didn't work out at the end, but it was sure exciting, and it gives you a little more pep in your step those last two months. It's going to be the same this year with me being an Angel. The Braves this season, unfortunately, had a bunch of injuries and things didn't work out. Now I'm going to one of the best teams in baseball, and like Angels General Manager Tony Reagins said, a World Series for me would make this trade successful. Personal goals don't really matter. It's about the team.
Q: You are a free agent at the end of the year. Are the words "contract extension" part of your vocabulary?
Teixeira: The big picture here is about the World Series. We can talk about contracts after the season. I'm sure there will be plenty of time to talk about that in the offseason.
Q: If the Angels were to approach you about that during the season, would your suggestion be to worry about that in the offseason?
Teixeira Yeah. Those are hypothetical-type questions. I know Tony and owner Arte Moreno have a great relationship with my agent, Scott Boras, and I'm sure they will talk in the future. Right now, my No. 1 goal is to play defense and to drive in a bunch of runs for the Angels.
Q: Do you feel that, after this trade, the Angels are the team to beat?
Teixeira: Being in the National League this past year, I don't know the American League as well anymore. I will say that the Angels have always been one of the best teams in the league, and they have always had great pitching and played great defense. They find ways to win games, and I just want to help put them over the top. I'm not going to make any predictions, and I'm not going to say we are the team to beat. I know we have a great team, and I'm looking forward to coming aboard.
Q: Do you think you will have a tough adjustment going back to the American League having played in the NL the past 12 months?
Teixeira: I hope not. I was very familiar with the AL West playing there for five years. Fortunately this year, we got to play the West during interleague (play). Now that I don't have to face the Angels anymore, it's going to make my job hitting a lot easier because of their pitching staff. I don't think it will be as big a deal compared to if I had just spent the last five years in the National League. I'm one year away from the American League so, hopefully, I won't miss a step.
Q: Will you be in the Angels lineup in Boston on Wednesday?
Teixeira: I plan on being in Boston at about 1:30 p.m. so that should get me to the field in plenty of time. Then Mike Scioscia will make that decision.
Q: Did you have any contract talks with the Braves after you were acquired a year ago?
Teixeira: There were brief discussions in Spring Training with my agent and the Braves. It didn't get much further than one phone call, I believe. Then we moved on. I'm the type of player who feels that, if I go out and do my job on the field, then contracts will take care of themselves. That's my plan. I have never forced for a contract or an extension anywhere. I'm not going to start now.

OCEAN CITY – Citing
concerns about another abrupt closure of sea bass season, or the seemingly
random closure of any other recreational fishery in the area, the plaintiffs in
the ongoing civil suit against federal fisheries officials strongly fired back
last week in response to the defendants' motion to dismiss the case.
Last October, black sea
bass, one of the most important fisheries for Ocean City and the entire coast,
was closed without warning, leading the Recreational Fishing Alliance (RFA) and
a handful of local captains to file a multi-party federal lawsuit against the
National Marine Fisheries Service (NFMS), the federal agency that shut the
fishery down. NMFS officials closed the black sea bass fishery in the midst of
a robust fall season after determining anglers up and down the east coast had
exceeded the established quota by some 800,000 fish.
The lawsuit filed by the
RFA and the coalition of local and regional charter captains sought an
immediate reversal of the closure, which they claimed was based on flawed
science and was costing the recreational fishing sector hundreds of thousands
of dollars each day the fishery was closed. It also called on NMFS to abandon
the archaic Marine Recreational Fisheries Statistics Survey (MRFSS) system of
collecting data and establishing quotas.
However, in the months
since the federal suit was filed, NMFS reversed its course somewhat and
re-opened the black sea bass season on May 21, which, in its opinion, made the
ongoing federal lawsuit a moot issue. Late last month, NMFS and the other
federal defendants in the case filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
"The court should enter
judgment for federal defendants because the closure expired on May 21, 2010,"
the motion reads. "There is, therefore, no dispute for the court to decide or
remedy to provide. The plaintiffs no longer have a legally cognizable interest
in the outcome of their claims because the rule that they seek to have set
aside is no longer in force."
However, the RFA and the
other local and regional plaintiffs in the case, including a handful of Ocean
City captains, last week filed a formal response to the motion to dismiss the
case, pointing out just because the emergency ban has been lifted since the
suit was filed, the federal fisheries agency that forced the sudden closure
last fall is still relying on the same flawed catch data collection system.
According to RFA lead attorney Herb Moore, Jr., NMFS can and will likely hand
down other closures if the sea bass suit is dismissed without addressing the
large data collection issues.
"The sea bass closure is
typical of an agency action that can be repeated again in the future while
evading review, because this type of case cannot be fully litigated before the
closure expires," said Moore. "There is a good chance that recreational anglers
will be subject to the same action again."
The closure of the sea
bass fishery last year during the height of the fall season was based on the
"fatally flawed" MRFSS system, which federal fisheries officials have since
admitted was not entirely accurate. The MRFSS system essentially relies on
fisheries officials cold-calling individuals in coastal areas to determine if
they are fishing, and if so, what they are catching.
Since the sea bass
closure last fall, NMFS has implemented a National Saltwater Angler Registry
program in order to enroll each saltwater angler in coastal states up and down
the east coast including Maryland in an effort to get a better handle on what
is being caught by whom and where. However, the formal response filed last week
by the RFA and other plaintiffs in the federal suit claims the arbitrary MRFSS
system is still being employed by the federal fisheries management agency.
"Today, the recreational
black sea bass fishery is being managed using the same exact MRFSS that was in
place at the time the Emergency Rule was implemented," the motion reads.
"Nothing has changed as far as what is being used in the fisheries management
RFA Executive Director
Jim Donofrio has been told by an official from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the federal agency that oversees NMFS, that
the MRFSS system, and not the National Saltwater Angler Registry, is being utilized
to track sea bass catch data.
"A NOAA official told us
MRFSS is still being used this season, utilizing the same old random
methodologies that were supposed to be obsolete last year," he said. "Our
fishermen deserve to be compensated for this blatant disregard of the law, not
educated. Everyone in the fisheries world from the head of NMFS down to
the non-fisherman at home answering random phone calls about fishing knows that
MRFSS is alive and well and it's hard to believe our government would be willing
to put blatant mistruths on legal documents to the court."
Meanwhile, the RFA and
the local plaintiffs continue to wage their legal war with the federal Goliath
in the potentially precedent setting case.
"We've not gotten this
far alone, but only through the donations of the individual anglers, fishing
clubs, tackle shops, captains and small business owners who have dug deep to
help bankroll this legal effort to protect a nation's right to fish," said RFA
Managing Director Jim Hutchinson this week.

BAYAMÓN -- Rafael Garcia and the rest of the rest of the LA Galaxy attack created plenty of chances on Wednesday night, but LA were unable to find the back of the net, settling for a scoreless draw on Wednesday.
The rookie midfielder was by far the most active member of the Galaxy throughout the match as he completed an 55 of his 62 pass attempts on Wednesday. One of his passes helped create one of the Galaxy's best scoring chances of the night in the 49th minute when he sent a ball over the top to Kenney Walker, whose shot from close distance was saved by Puerto Rico goalkeeper Richard Martin. The 23-year-old midfielder had a chance of his own in stoppage time, but fired the shot just over the crossbar.
With a strong performance against the Islanders, Garcia is likely to be in contention for a starting position during LA's next CONCACAF Champions League match on October 25th against Isidro Metapán.
Below are Garcia's thoughts on the match...
GARCIA: "It's a hard environment and I think that may have had something to do with it, but the fact of the matter is that we didn't show as much as we should of. For whatever reason, it wasn't clicking, we got a second wind when Landon, Juni and Marcelo came in and we created a few more opportunities, but it was a tough night for our offense."
(On Brian Perk's performance)
GARCIA: "Outstanding. A shutout on the road, it doesn't get any better than that, I thought his leadership was second to none, he organizes well so we couldn't be happier."
(On the implications for group play…)
GARCIA: "We knew that with a win today, we could have maybe clinched and now we just have to go to El Salvador and get a result there. We know that it's not going to be easy, the environment is obviously tough there, but we just have to be ready for it."
(On whether Arena will keep the young group together in El Salvador…)
GARCIA: "Those decisions are up to them. I'm sure that the guys that get called up are more than happy to get out there and give it their best, but like I said, whatever that they decide, we support it 100%."

2nd: I have to say that I don't see where anyone would get that Taylor's arrogant. Enthusiastic..yes. Adorkable..sure. But arrogant.. nah!
And add Kristen to the non arrogant list. I think they're normal people who have been abruptly thrown into the flaming fires of the lime light.
That is all.

The following information is posted under the BIG Gig but not everyone reads that thread.
A few of you know, though most do not, that our BIG Gig auctioneer hit a deer while riding his brand new
R1200RT the day before Thanksgiving. Lyman is now home a week out of hospital today. (There, a full week!)
and is on the mend.
Deerly Departed RT Lyman wadded up a brand new BMW R1200RT motorcycle with 25 miles on the odometer. This is Lyman's bike as brand new with only 12 miles on the odometer. He picked it up at Max's big Thanksgiving dinner.
It's a tragic tale (60th birthday present to himself , approx. = to 1 1/2 years of auctioneering proceeds...Insurance may call it a total loss, we'll see, hope so. Laura,his wife, ever the decorator, said she didn't like the color all that well anyway and to try something that didn't clash in the Spring!)
5 deer jumped out of a culvert on the left side of the road and Lyman t-boned the first or second (not sure which) and went down in a instant at approximately 35mph. Zero warning time, only enough to recognize the the hazard but not enough for ABS brakes to deploy. He spoke with eye witnesses and EMT responders, etc., and all said there wasn't anything he could have done to avoid them. Deer are totally unpredictable. Unfortunately Lyman did not recover the "deerly" departed venison. But not to worry - most likely the EMTs didn't pass the buck.
The extent of injuries is 7 broken ribs all on the left side. No punctures, no other broken bones, no internal bleeding, no head or neck injuries, road rash or anything else. Full recovery expected as ribs heal, but damn uncomfortable for the meantime. Lyman is fine and will be well with time. Most likely he will be back on the job for the BIG Gig.

In 2011, Oakland artist Hung Liu began a series of small paintings based on photographs of her mother's Beijing apartment taken while she lay in a hospital.
A head of sprouting garlic. Fuzzy blue house slippers. Yellow rubber cleaning gloves. Rendered in thick strokes of oil paint, the canvases are masterful observations of the every day. But they're also much more. Completed one year after her mother's death, the paintings give viewers an intimate glimpse into the artist's world while memorializing a life.
And while vastly different in scale than most of the monumental works displayed in "Summoning Ghosts: The Art of Hung Liu," a comprehensive retrospective that opened Saturday at the Oakland Museum of California, the series of diminutive canvases bearing Liu's emotive brushwork are just as powerful as her larger, better-known paintings. Using photography and daily life as a starting point, Liu illustrates her take on personal and cultural history, crafting visually stunning narratives that unite past and present.
Cultures collide
Liu has been creating such work since emigrating to the United States from China nearly three decades ago. A bicultural artist, she marries Eastern and Western techniques in her paintings and installations. She also questions and recasts her cultural history, paying tribute to the Chinese men, women and children she observes in vintage photographs from various eras.
The exhibit, which will go on a two-year national tour after it closes June 30, comes on the heels of an exhibit at Mills College, where she teaches. The Oakland Museum collection shows that Liu has been exploring such conceptual and artistic ground without her work ever growing formulaic or stale. In the late 1980s, she created works like "Tang Ren Jie (Tang People's Street)" and "Peeking Opera," both on display.
The latter canvas shows the figure of a veiled bride taken from an antique black-and-white photograph. There's also an image of a tank rolling in Tiananmen Square — the site of a 1989 massacre in which troops killed hundreds of government protesters. The piece also features a large metal shell casing resting on the floor.
In "Goddess of Love, Goddess of Liberty," Liu juxtaposes a painting of an erotic Chinese vase with the portrait of young woman whose feet have been deformed by foot binding. A small blank chalkboard hangs beside the canvas, level to the woman's head. A broom — symbolizing the housework a woman with bound feet could never do because of her status and condition — hangs at her side. In these pictures and others, Liu blurs lines between painting and sculpture, grouping seemingly disparate elements in new, complex ways.
Art reflects life
Curator René de Guzman has gathered some of the best examples of Liu's assemblage paintings and other pieces from every stage of her career, including a biting self-portrait that was part of an early installation dealing with immigration. There's also a short video riffing on the Chinese war film "Daughters of China," which bilingual wall text explains Liu found deeply inspiring. An artist of incredible skill in diverse media, Liu has created several video works, including a major new video installation going on display in June at the San Jose Museum of Art.
Examples of pieces focusing on China's last dynasty and those inspired by photographs of prostitutes are also included among the 80 or so works on view, as are large canvases inspired by major world events such as 2008's Beijing Olympics and the deadly Sichuan earthquake (including the powerful work "Richter Scale").
Jarring and beautiful
Also moving is "September 2001," a large picture in which a bird merges with the head of a young woman. The surreal collision and its resulting whorls of color, washes and paint drips create an image that is both jarring and beautiful.
Staying true to the museum's mission to provide viewers with an interactive experience, organizers have placed copies of the photographs the artist uses as source material at two sitting areas in the exhibit. It's an inspired move; their inclusion provides a fascinating window into Liu's creative process and make her lush, powerful work all the more accessible.

"YOU Chooose Your Materials!" Team challenge - making a mini-collections from materials scavenged from retail stores.
Enjoy the show!
The winning and losing teams show what can happen when you listen to Tim's suggestions and are encouraged by them to excel better versus paying no attention to details and letting drama rule.
Karen, Kate and Jeremy's outfits were stunning. Karen FINALLY did something that didn't look like it had no shape. Jeremy's really was stunning with placemats (obviously not fabric) but I will admit I liked the one with the blocks and coconut (!) on it a smidge more. That said - both had to be very close for the win. Kate's was nice and for her risk taking but it was *just* under the "hoochie" look.
Sue, Alexandra and Ken.... six words:
Should have been a double elimination.
Sue should've immediately been eliminated for not having her model dressed when she left the workroom. Period, end of discussion.
Ken showed ALL the negative sides of the stereotypical gay male with that really witchy behavior.* Justified or not, you do not tell someone to shut up among other things he did.
*(Please note - I do not care if someone is gay, straight, bi, transgender, etc. - it's the heart that matters to me. I think a lot of the men this season who are gay have shown a nice side - Jeremy the best example of being polite, even when critical of himself or others. He makes an honest assessment. Braden/Brandon the same way. That said... in the case of Ken tonight, he really showed the stereotypical side and that was a huge shame).
I think next week may be the week we see Tim use the save though. I would predict we will see one of the stronger designers have a really bad week (i.e. Karen or Dom) and he feel that their overall skills and ranking should allow them a second chance. Jeremy *should* be safe and have immunity, but they didn't specify he had it.
I really wish it had been a double elimination week and Ken had gone with Sue.
To me Ken is as bad or worse then Sandro. At least with Sandro you see it coming but Ken is much more lethal.
Does Ken like anything? He doesn't like non conventional challenges, he doesn't like his teammates, he doesn't like going outdoors. Every time they mention something he doesn't like it. OK...I don't like Ken.
I am on Tim's side in his critique of the teams, when he asked the designers if they had ever watched the show and don't they understand what an unconventional challenge is? I do wish more of the designers has used more of the food products but I think the limit of one day put a damper on that idea. I would have luv'ed to have seen a dress made of red peppers.
I couldn't believe they didn't send Ken home after making the comment about how the dress was made. I really thought that fabric-like material held together with duct tape was a goner.
(And yes, Sue sent her model out of the workroom in store clothes, but still...he is a jerk.)
I disagreed with Jeremy's win. To me, the cups of the dress were way too small and it made the overall look of the dress seem off. I couldn't stand to look at it.
My favorite dress was Kate's.
Karen still made her dress too wide around the middle. She's terrible at tailoring clothes to fit right.
Justin's lucky his team squeaked through because he probably would have gone home if his team had been in the bottom. His model looked like she was wearing a clown suit.
The bottom team really was the worst of the worst. The models paradoxically looked like they were from the future and from the stone age. :lol
I agree that it should have been a double elimination, with Sue and Ken getting the boot. His attitude was inexcusable and finishing his dress with duct tape was definitely a fashion crime.
Y'know, I find it SOOOOOOOOOOO ironic that Ken was laying SANDRO in the aisle LAST week for being "Out of ORDER!" (not that Sandro didn't exactly have it COMING!) . . .
THEN, THIS WEEK, he, HIMSELF, takes the words ""Out of ORDER!" to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL!!
Meet Kettle!
When he looked at Alexandra and said, "Don't talk to me right now. In fact, I don't even need you to look at me," my thought was . . . Oh, I would be staring him right in the eyes right about then.
Really? Don't look at me? What is he . . . 10 years old?
I agree here too on second look - that said it wasn't nearly as bad as other times and - if I've got the right dress - the cut-in style triangles gave it an illusion of fitting better.Quote:
Karen still made her dress too wide around the middle. She's terrible at tailoring clothes to fit right.
You are right she does need to work on fit, but at least this time she did better.
Sadly you are right - I think he's letting the competition get to him right now and that's not good.Quote:
Justin's lucky his team squeaked through because he probably would have gone home if his team had been in the bottom. His model looked like she was wearing a clown suit.
Here are pictures of the fashions from this weeks episode:
Team Alexander Bradon Miranda
Team Alexandria Ken Sue
Team Dom Helen Justin
Team Jeremy Karen Kate
I only saw the runway part of the show last night so I don't know who the guest was but her comment on clavicle being the new bust line, ummm seeing clavicle means you might be a tad underweight. This is coming from a 102 pound lady but you don't see my clavicle.
Ken over-the-top rude...wish I didn't pick him for my team based on that preformance. Sue really can't sew??? What did I miss???
Is it only me but is this going to be a season of unconventional challanges?

Grand National Golf Course - The Lakes Course3000 Sunbelt Pkwy
Opelika, AL 36801
Phone: (334)749-9011Fax: (334)749-8479
This facility is just one of the eight facilities that make up the Robert Trent Jones Trail through Alabama. This facility offers two outstanding eighteen hole courses and an eighteen hole par 3 course. The Lakes Course features exciting finishing holes, including hole #15, a 230-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot to a natural island green. Except for flattening some spots for tees and softening the island enough to fit in a putting green, the hole remains untouched from when Rulewich found the little thumb of land protruding into the lake. This hole was voted one of "The Best 18 Holes You Can Play" by "Golf Digest" in 1997. In addition, "Golf Digest" rated the Lakes Course as the 4th "Best in State" course for 1997-98, after being selected 5th in 1995-96. The same publication awarded the Lakes 7th best among "America's Top 75 Affordable Courses" for 1996. "GOLF Magazine" rated this course 38th best in the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." for 1996, and "GOLFWEEK" ranked it 99th among "America's 100 Best Modern Courses" for 1997. The Links Course is one of the prettiest courses you will find. The greens are large and sloping. One large lake comes into play on twelve holes, and there are several marsh areas that must be crossed over with shots. Even though the course has fairly open fairways, they are still defined by trees and a high underbrush on both sides. You will be required to hit many uphill and downhill shots. This course features a 471-yard monster, par 4, finishing hole, highlighted by a boulder bulkhead green located above a cove. Another difficult hole is #8, a 345-yard, par 4, requiring an accurately placed tee shot up a ninety degree right dogleg fairway, then an approach shot over water to a green that has water protecting the back and left sides. Don't let the short distance of this hole fool you. "Golf Digest" rated the Links Course 9th among "America's Top 75 Affordable Courses," and 51st out of the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." for 1998. In the category of "Best in State," the Links was rated 7th for 1995-96, and 4th in 1997-98. The Short Course is an executive layout, but do not mistake it for a "pitch and putt." Locals consider this course as being the prettiest of the three. The greens are contoured, but not as undulating as the other courses. The signature hole is #15, a 203-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot to a large island green with one large bunker protecting the back. This facility hosted the Nike Tour Championship in 1997. Tee times are taken up to seven days in advance through the individual facilities and up to 120 days in advance through the corporate reservation office. Friday green fees are the same as the weekend rate. Special "trail passes" are sold that reduce the cost of green fees. For more information on accommodations and tee time reservation please call (800) 949-4444.

Sorry guys, but I'm not continuing with Fulfilling the Prophecy. I've got GCSE's coming up and haven't got the time to update. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and/or added it to their favourites, I really appreciate it. It has now been deleted
Wow I've not updated this thing for a while.
A few things about myself? I live in England. And my name isn't Jane Bilus. My penname is that because it was supposed to be after Hermione and Ron's middle names, but I accidentally left out the second 'i' in Bilius. D'oh.
I chose their middle names because I thought that the name 'Hermoine Weasley' (yes, that's right, I'm a R/Hr shipper) would have already been taken. I later found ou that it hadn't. D'oh again.
Things I like?
Doctor Who, Torchwood, Heroes, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Snow Patrol, the Beatles, the Killers and James Morrison, to name but a few.

FYI/TMI: Beyoncé To Run The Super Bowl, Obama Judges "Idol" Feud
(In an effort to keep you fully informed, and fully entertained, below we present today's FYI and TMI — news you need and news that's, well, sometimes needless….)
Beyoncé To Perform At Super Bowl XLVII
GRAMMY winner Beyoncé will perform during the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. Beyoncé previously performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004. In other news, GRAMMY winner Neil Diamond will receive the Legend Of Live honor at the 2012 Billboard Touring Awards on Nov. 8 in New York. The award honors individuals or artists who have made significant contributions to live music and the touring business. Previous honorees include the Allman Brothers Band, Elton John, Journey, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rush, among others.
Obama Asks Carey, Minaj To Just Get Along
A recent feud between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj that erupted during a taping of "American Idol" has garnered wide public reaction, even from the bella donna Stevie Nicks. But you know it's getting serious when the POTUS weighs in. When asked about the feud during a recent interview with Miami's Y100-FM, President Barack Obama was hopeful for a resolution. "I think that they are going to be able to sort it out, I am confident," he said. "I'm all about bringing people together, working for the same cause." Questions still remain as to whether Carey and Minaj will be able to patch things up, and if Obama will audition for "Idol" with his now-famous rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together."

Type: Enhancement
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Completed
Affects Version/s: 0.0-3126
Fix Version/s: 0.0-3196
Component/s: None
Patch:Code and Test
As people start trying to write libs that are portable between Clojure and ClojureScript they might need to have a bit of branching on target. N.B. supporting this means a change to Clojure, although it has general utility there as well.
Consider CL #+ #- reader macros - http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/02_dhq.htm
Patch: cljs-27-v6.diff
The following patches include an implementation of Common Lisp's #+
and #- reader macros to allow conditional compilation/reading for
Clojure and ClojureScript.
The patches add a dynamic variable called features to the
clojure.core and cljs.core namespaces, that should contain the
supported features of the platform in question as keywords.
Unlike in Common Lisp, the variable is a Clojure set and not a list.
In Clojure the set contains at the moment the :clojure keyword, and in
ClojureScript the :clojurescript keyword.
I would like to get feedback on the names that are added to this
variable. Are those ok? Is :jvm for Clojure and :js for ClojureScript
better? Should ClojureScript add something like :rhino, :v8 or
:browser as well?
To run the ClojureScript tests, drop a JAR named "clojure.jar" that
has the Clojure patch applied into ClojureScript's lib directory.
This is an enhancement so it probably requires a design page and extended discussion before it will go anywhere. Until that happens I'm marking this is as low priority.
Ok. If someone could give me write access to the Clojure Dev Wiki I would be happy to start such a design page.
If you've sent in your CA request permissions on the clojure-dev mailing list.
I started a design page for this ticket in the Clojure Dev wiki:
Posting my comments over on the design page...
Latest patch updates into current ClojureScript and use of tools.reader/tools.analyzer etc. The reader changes are all in the accompanying tools.reader patch in
TRDR-14. This patch adds support to allow a new option "features" which is expected to be a set of keywords. build will inject :cljs into this set. The feature set is maintained in clojure.tools.reader/*features*. set! is enhanced to special-case an update to *features* in the code (presumably a rarely-used feature).
Because tools.reader needs the supporting patch, I left in several changes that pull in a new version of tools.reader - I don't actually expect those to be the correct versions but they are there as a reminder to update all of the proper places.
cljs-27-v2.diff adds ability to load .clj files as well as .cljs files when compiling.
Fresh patch, switch to take .cljc files.
Freshened patch for current CLJS.
Alex the freshened patch includes modifications to the compiler version dynamic var and compiler version fn. Can we remove these? Thanks!
Yep, updated to -v5 patch.
Updated to use new tools.reader patch and to remove the ability to dynamically set the features set. The active set of features can be set on startup and are held in the features var in the analyzer.
the big issues resolved as of https://github.com/clojure/clojurescript/commit/7ccdffaf8f36a28dec6651248707ac83e6362d79

- Summary
British comedic genius, Sacha Baron Cohen, slips into the skins of his devilish alter egos, Ali G, Borat and Bruno to create loads of hilarious riffs at the expense of American culture in the second season of the international phenomenon.
So just who is Ali G, and how did he get on TV?
In his own words: "Me woz born in da heart off da Staines ghetto. I has lived wiv me Nan in Staines at 37 Cherry Blossom Close from da day me woz born, coz wiv both me parents havin been smoked, dere werent no one else around to look afta her. Me has been carin for her ever since. Me woz failed by da skool system and hated every minute me spent in da classroom. In fact added together, dat time woz probly da most borin 3 hours of me life - altho me do still go to a skool re-union every second Monday at Staines Job Centre... As well as bein unemployed - i iz also got a lot off well important careers. As head of Da West Staines Massive, me control da most peace lovin and violent gang in da hole of Barkshire. Afta happearin on some crap programme dat woz on at 11 a clock or somefin, it werent long before me ad me own show. Dis meant me was able to take a in depf look at a lot off serious issues....

by Juda (Lajbcze) Parasol
Translated by Dr. Hannah Berliner Fischthal
Everything in our lives flies by, becomes transformed into shadows, and disappears into the abyss of the past. All people, especially in their last years, carry deeply within themselves small cemeteries, not only of relatives and near ones, whom they had loved, but also of events and things with which they were intimately involved.
In the rush of time, the past becomes partially sleepy, sometimes even erased from our memories; but there comes a day when forgotten events awaken in our minds, corpses leave their graves and speak to us with their bloodless lips.
A terrible sadness rules our hearts then. We feel deeply alone, and the thought that all is in the past, and will never return, tortures us. We think that we would give everything in our lives for one day of those beautiful, sunny days of our youth.
An enormous desire awakens in us to revisit the places where we had spent our youth, the young carefree years.
I spent the first 20 years of my life in my birth town Dąbrowa. I also spent a time in Krakow, Warsaw, and later settled in nearby Będzin, where I lived until the Second World War broke out. During this time I often visited Dąbrowa, where my father and close family lived.
After the outbreak of World War II, during my wanderings and assorted transformations, my home town beckoned to me more than once like a flame in a dark night in both the fat years, spent in Baranowicz, or in the distant Siberian Taiga, where I was sent together with my wife and child, as well as in my difficult battles with death languishing in the hard tower-rooms. More than once, I had a sickly vision that had no compassion: Never. All of a sudden, the giant factory chimneys swam up as though in a fog, with the black, smoky skies of my home town lying so far away, with all my near and dear ones, to whom I had said farewell, and who endlessly waited for my return.
On the 15th of June 1941, my blessed father, tragically cut down, wrote me a letter sent to the Siberian Taiga, so far away from Dąbrowa which was already occupied by Hitler's criminals. Among other things, he wrote: Don't complain about your fate On our sky in our town heavy, black clouds are moving, and only one God knows how this will end! And he concluded, Mazel-tov to you, my dear Lajbcze, your sister Fajgele gave birth to a daughter.
Unfortunately, I never saw them again; all were burned in the crematoriums in Auschwitz. These are heavy memories, which eat at me day and night, weaken my body and often lead to depression...
Now after 15 years I revisit my old birthplace Dąbrowa-Gur. In the bus I don't see a single Jewish face!
The wheels clap monotonously, and looking through the window at the passing
scenery, I search for a small remnant of my previous years. But nothing. My
thoughts run with the speed of the telegraph wires, which rise and fall, and
carry me over to the distant past, when the buses here were overflowing with
Jews. As we were travelling through Będzin, I searched the characteristic
Jews with their long, black capotes [coats], and round hats.
[Page 290]
They used to be busy, hurrying to their jobs. The old marketplace in Będzin was always full of people from the whole neighborhood buying all the goods. There were so many overcrowded businesses and stores. But now, there are benches set outside, there are planted shrubs and flowers, and people relax in lonely silence! The Jews of Będzin's old Market are gone forever, and their former stores are walled up and have been transformed into private apartments.
And so, travelling through the streets of Będzin, and erasing the well-known panorama of the Koszelow mine, from Aleksander Zawadzki, I am schlepped to my shtetl of Dąbrowa-Gór.
I go out of the bus, step on home territory, look into the eyes of people, search for a familiar face, and I am prepared to run towards the best person and beg him to shake my hand!
I sense strangeness in the place where everybody had known me, and I get the chills. Nobody knows me, and I don't know anybody!
It seems to me, that I am not myself, but somehow somebody else, that my former ego was taken away by the tragic times, that here only my shadow soars. I span emptiness. In my city, which was always open to me, where at every step I was met by acquaintances, I am now unknown.
It is spring; four days divide us from our most beautiful holiday, the holiday of freedom, Passover, the happiest and nicest holiday of our childhood, of our youth. We used to feel this way in every corner of my birth town Dąbrowa, by the rushing and tumult in the stores, especially by the tailors and shoemakers. Every Jew, no matter what his material situation, worked hard so that his children could renew something on Passover; we would already be counting the days.
There was the smell of the newly baked matzos. Before dawn, the Hassidim themselves would bake the special Shmura [guarded] Matzos. Today there is not a sign of this in our town. And the weather is cold and rainy like it is in autumn, which is similar to our moods and feelings.
Your soul becomes sad when it comes in direct contact with the town in which you were born and spent your childhood, in spite of the fact that our street was never too jolly. Our childhood was never too nice, as reflected in the black mud puddles of Dąbrowa. Yet childhood is always nicer, happier than today. There is no sign of our former presence.
The bus threw us out on the main street of our shtetl Sobieskiego, which has changed very little in appearance: it is spread with black tar-soot from the giant foundry chimneys which never stop, which were so characteristic for our town. On the entire front of the main street, black soot would pour down on the fresh, white blouses of our pretty girls walking before the pond on holidays, where the Frenchmen would slowly swim with special nets to catch fish.
The Frenchmen, who owned the Huta Bankowa, the colony Paris, and the colony Reden, were a privileged caste in our shtetl; they lived in special, pretty houses near the foundry. In addition, they had their own street, which, by the way, was called the French Street for a long time; we, the Dąbrowa inhabitants, only had the right to breathe from a distance the unpleasant stink emanating from the standing water.
With the disappearance of the French, the stinking pond, with its afternoon croaking of the frogs, also disappeared. Today flowers grow there. Only the Christ monument remains the same on its place, which is on the very front, full of greenery, surrounding the moss-covered pond.
We turn into Fabryczna Street. With slow steps, I try with my weary eyes to
search every corner, in every house, in every passing person, and all at once I
am standing at the house of Josef Siwek. Characters like shadows, like visions,
twinkle in front of my eyes, and disappear.
[Page 291]
There is a crazy stillness reigning around here. The external is freshly washed. The windows are smeared with fresh lacquer, covered with shades and curtains, which means that people are living in all the rooms; yet when I try to speak with somebody, it seems that nobody knows me, nor longs for those who had lived here, created, or built the house. Nobody has the slightest interest in me, a living person, who stands in front of him or her.
Nobody cares about the former fellow townsman, once known by the entire street. After such a long absence, I come with a broken heart to glance at my former hometown, which pampered and rocked my youth, and used to fill my heart with joy and hope!
The street is the same, but it became prettier, cleaner, fixed up. It is only missing my brothers and sisters, who should be greeting me! There is nobody with whom to reminisce about good times. Here, by the Siweks, was a concentration point for the very sympathetic, intelligent youth of Dąbrowa.
Saturday afternoons young people of assorted ages would gather in the garden, entertaining themselves by discussing everybody and everything. There used to come to Jicchak Siwek his friends and acquaintances, like Szlomo Wajnrajch, the Hebrew teacher; Symcha Nusbaum the former school boy; our so well-liked teacher Mindl Nusbaum; Chaim Grajcer, and all those who used to come there, whom I am not in a situation to remember, like friends and acquaintances also from their son Pinchas and his daughters. There was also a time when young people learned the basics of working in their garden, preparing to go to Israel.
The Siweks were a well-to-do family in Dąbrowa. They also had a telephone quite early, with which they would, on more than one occasion, allow themselves to play mischievous tricks. Red-headed Abram used to come to them from Pińczów and bring butter, eggs, and cheese to sell; that was his livelihood. One time he learned from them that eggs were up in price, and butter was down. Red-headed Abram said to Josef Siwek, If I could relate this to my wife and daughters, I could make a little money. Why not? Josef answered him, while sending his daughter upstairs where they had an extension to their telephone. Red-headed Abram screamed into the phone: Gitl, you hear me? And Josef Siwek's daughter answered from there: Of course I hear you Abram, I hear every word very clearly. Know, Gitl, that eggs have increased and butter has decreased, so buy more eggs and do not buy any butter! Happy, Red-headed Abram marveled over the wonderful machine that enabled him to connect with his Gitl so quickly. But when he came the following week with eggs and butter, and Josef asked him if his Gitl had done as he asked, Abram disappointedly, quietly answered him that his Gitl had never spoken with him.
Deep in my thoughts, I stray with shaky steps over the streets of today's Dąbrowa, which by the way, has spread out, in the direction of Gołonóg where the so-called new Dąbrowa is growing. Where there used to be the market place is now a built-up a Culture palace called Zawadzki, but I don't encounter a single Jew in the town, and I feel as though I am losing my balance. In my head is confusion.
And so I went to the French street, on the corner of the French Street and
Okrzei stood a nice, presentable Jewish house, whose owner was Chrzanowski. In
that building I studied under my fine Rabbi Szlomo Josef Monele. Here several
grown up Gemara students would come and carefully look at his ascetic face,
when he taught us so finely.
[Page 292]
Szlomo Josef was a fanatical but honest Jew. He would not speak directly to a woman, including his own wife Sore-Laja. He would turn his back to her and speak in the third person. He spoke directly only to one daughter, with complete reverence. She was a pretty girl with long, blonde braids and a pale complexion, with a sickly appearance, although, as it turns out, she was not ill. He was very generous to her, giving her money to buy white rolls. That was his Rochele.
My blessed father and Szlomo Josef were with the first group taken to Auschwitz in late September (?) 1941 and burned there.
The local chapter of the left Poale Tzion was located for years in that same house.
I remember several stores in that building. Among them was a wig-making store owned by Hairdresser Londner (the son of Mendl Jakman). His father called him that because of his giant height and silly-looking face.
The door used to be open in the summertime, and we used to, on our way home, watch for a long time the women with soaped up heads waiting to be shaved.
Going out of the intersection on Okrzei Street, there were many stores, most of them owned by Jews. On the right side leading to the synagogue were also workshops of artisans. Szmul Szramp (Grinberg) also had his shoemaking workshop; few people knew his real name. We called him Szramp [scar] because of his cut lip, which he brought home from the First World War. He was a son of Zalman Kate [tomcat], who also received his nickname from his wife, who bore 24 children, all giants, healthy, and spread throughout the world.
The closer to the synagogue, located on Szopena Street, the smaller, the lower, the older the houses. Some are dilapidated. There in a corner not far from the synagogue, by the water pump, the lame Mayer taught the first clever things about the alphabet to his small children. Some of the houses even closer to the synagogue, which exist to this day, resemble houses of an old story, with crooked roofs, half fallen chimneys. In the middle of a hole there is an entrance to the cellar, in which there also used to live whole families. Here was also a bakery, and across, Jankel Wloszczower taught in a cheder. These houses have not changed in appearance up until the present.
Dąbrowa did not have too many rich Jews, and the town itself was not especially rich. Yet life flowed interestingly enough, and people loved their shtetl.
In the shtetl many people had nicknames that were chosen; not always was it possible to give the derivations, or the reasons for the names. This was not specifically a Dąbrowa quirk, but the weakness of all small towns. For example, Herszl, a Jew who went through the First World War, was widely known, but not for his cleverness, with which he never sinned. He was able to make a little more money during the time of the Austrian Occupation, and he had in Dąbrowa a wholesale business of colonial articles.
(Various jokes used to circulate in the shtetl about the newly rich man, and especially about his slovenly wife and his oldest son Moszke).
On Saturday nights we would often call for Dr. Mitelman, because Herszl
Glezerman [glasses-man] would almost die from overeating the Shabbes foods.
When he would question Herszl if he ate too much, the patient took half an hour
listing all the fatty, special Shabbes foods, like fish, cholent, kugl
[pudding], and roast ducks. While reckoning, he would add:
[Page 293]
You know what, Herr Doktor, I am convinced that the piece of cake my wife gave me today early in the morning before praying did me harm. Yet he did not die, and Dr. Mitelman often had to rescue him from death on Saturday evenings.
And how was it fitting that Mr. Herszl did not have a telephone, and that was the only thing he was missing. There were many in the shtetl who did not allow him to sleep peacefully. They used to wake him at 2:00 a.m. One time the rich Sheynglach [nice smooth] desired to have elegant shoes. Without thinking too long, he went to Szmul Szramp, who had had the reputation in Dąbrowa as a specialist of men's shoes. When he picked out the style, and measured his feet, Herszl turned to Szmul Szramp: Mr. Szramp! I beseech you, no matter how much the cost, I want a pair of elegant shoes. The other answered him: Mr. Sheynglach, if I will make you shoes, they will certainly be elegant and good. How are you speaking this way to a customer? Am I called Shmentloch? And my name then is 'Szramp'? Szmul answered.
And so they almost came to blows and the transaction understandably did not materialize.
One of the most interesting and characteristic types in our shtetl, spread his kingdom on the Baybe [?], not far from the ritual bath, where Zysia Luksenburg with his wife also carried on their kingdom until deep old age.
Over there lived also Mr. Ruwen Lichtcyjer [candle puller] (Gluzerman). We called him that because he occupied himself with the production of candles, which he produced in the old hall of the former brewery. There, in a modest house, he also had his kingdom. The interesting, characteristic candle-puller, who like one of the righteous 36 souls, paced through the shtetl with his greasy sack on his back, in spite of his already thoroughly white beard, which betrayed his age. He would appear every day on Okrzei Street, where all the butcher shops were, and he would buy out the cheap fat for the production of his candles.
There was not another Jew in the town who was as popular as he; who would not take the opportunity to greet him with a hearty good morning? His popularity did not come from his candle factory, but from his special, characteristic behavior. He was famous for being a big philanthropist, and his house was open to all who were hungry and those who were searching for a place where to put down a tired head.
He had many and varied children. In the shtetl people would say that his living wife was already the third who bore him children, and that she used to be his maid. She had enough work, not only by having his children and taking charge of the household. She additionally had to cook a giant pot of food every day that would be enough for all those who wanted to come in and eat.
Assorted legends in the shtetl were told about him. Once he took off his boots in the middle of the street and gave them away to a Jew who begged him for a pair of shoes. And he himself continued to walk in the street barefoot.
One of his philanthropic weaknesses used to be marrying off poor girls, the number of which, unfortunately, was very large in our shtetl.
After he had already dissipated his fortune, he still did not want to quit his
generous philanthropic activities; he decided to make collections from all of
Zagłębie for the needy. The old, gray Ruwen Lichtcyjer became a
popular speaker, and Shabbes he would show up everywhere where Jews assembled,
in their study houses in his black silk caftan he wore on Shabbes, with his
wide, combed, white beard, with his fat, smiling, good appearance, and
immediately after finishing the Shachrit prayers, with his heavy hand he would
give a bang on the lecturn and begin to sprinkle passages of Midrash.
[Page 294]
He held long enough speeches, which had the contents of one aim and call: Jews, give me money, the more the better, in order that I can continue my philanthropic activities, and help all those needy who wait for our aid.
There was a rich man in the shtetl from whom it was hard to get out even a few złotys: Chanoch Rechnic, owner of a colony. But for Mr. Ruwen Lichtcyjer, even Chanoch's heart of stone became weak. Ruwen would loan him money for a business that would supposedly bring large profits, yielding Chanoch a gain of 50%. When the return took too long, and he did not receive his money back, Lichtcyjer was forced to declare to him that with the borrowed money he married off, with luck, two old maids, and he gave them the money for dowries. The profits of that business, he declared, will be reaped in the next world.
In the Dąbrowa cemetery, demolished by the fascist vandals, there lies a walled in old tombstone, the remains of Chanoch Rechnic.
Not far from the Jewish ritual bath, on Mieszka, also lived Chaimke Shochat [ritual slaughterer], a corpulent Jew in his middle years, who used to, in spite of his girth, wear a long jacket that was twice as wide and tall as his own large, fat body.
With his wide appearance and dark blonde, wide beard, he would pace slowly and majestically the length of the study house, up and down, and fuss with his beard. He had no children.
When I accidently learned that he, Chaimke, learned in the Woloszyner Yeshiva, with the great Jew Nachum Sokolov, I decided to discuss this with him.
And when I asked him if he remembered Nachum Sokolov from the Woloszyner Yeshiva, and what he was like at the time, silly Chaimke answered me with a smile, you mean that Sokolov? Go on! Go! He was barely respectable
That is how our shtetl lived and breathed, with assorted types, with which the towns in Poland were rich.
Dąbrowa had its Herszele Ostropolier, known in the shtetl as the small Merele because of his especially short growth. His wife and his three already old maids were also short; in their entire lives, they never knew the feeling of being full.
None of this stopped him from pushing his way through his difficult life with an eternal smile, and weaving the pains of his life into jokes.
There was in the shtetl a difficult year with an etrog [used during the Jewish celebration of Sukkoth]. The sexton would, for a certain price, carry around the single etrog in the shtetl to the businessmen so they could bless the etrog. Then Merele came to the Rabbi and asked, can he free him from having to make the blessing on the etrog, because he blesses etrogs a whole year round? When the Rabbi did not well understand his question, Merele said, What is there not to understand, Rabbi? A whole year when I make the blessings, I am hungry for an etrog, Merele screams out and bursts our laughing.
In the shtetl it was told later, that when he was already very sick, in the
last minutes of his poor life, he lay in the hospital attended by Dr. Lipski.
After a serious, difficult operation, he noticed in the doorway the familiar
figure of the soul catcher Wowe, so he motioned with his finger for him to come
over to the bed, and then he used the opportunity to tell his last joke, saying
to Wowe with a barely audible voice, You should, Wowe, be as desirous to
live as I am desirous to die.
[Page 295]
Such was the small town of Dąbrowa Górnicza, as it was called. In spite of the fact that geographically it did not stop existing and growing, it was for us only historical, the tragic history of a cut-down shtetl, with its approximately 4,000-5,000 Jews, who lived here, loved, suffered, worked and created. Remaining are only the mute walls of the former synagogue, which only externally can remind us of those who had lived here, of the masses of Jews that would gather here on a holiday or on the Sabbath, in order to pray in the synagogue to their God for health and luck and their future lives
And I am again in Dąbrowa after an interval of 17 years, and again I pace over the streets of my birthplace. It is a Sunday. The streets are empty and quiet, and I can listen to every rustle of the shadows that stray around here, of our so tragically cut down near ones and dear ones.
What happened to us here is long over, and now I alone wander lost among many, for me empty, rooms, in whose windows I search the well known faces of my near ones, beaten, laboring and smiling, of the children of my annihilated people.
And from the empty windows, winds wail their gloom Now I am standing in front of my father's house, and tears, dismal, bloody tears, wash the window panes, and from the doors blow cold, distant, strange winds, and my heart does not want to believe that here was once a Jewish life
I pace over the Okrzei Street, where there once were so many poor Jewish shops. Today there are few stores to be found, and yet it is all so similar to that which used to be. Little changed here, and it all reminds me of what was. I pace and I search for a sign of my people! And bothering every passerby, I reached the last Mohican! In the house of Dawid Josef Grinbaum on Okrzei Street lives his lonely sister, sick, old, broken and left over like a remnant of the murdered 9,000 [sic] Jews from Dąbrowa, who worked here, lived, and suffered, and more than once heard the curse, Jew to Palestine. Still there is so much reverence for the place of your birth, for your childhood home! It is difficult to learn from her what is keeping her here in this place; she is the one and only Jewish woman! But now all is behind her. She just left the hospital; rarely do any of our near ones come to her. But today was a holiday for her. We visited her for a time, and two Jewish boys from Będzin surprisingly showed up and brought her matzos for Passover.
After so many trying years, I still did not become enough of a person, and the dreams of my youth still did not change Up until today I have not found a reason for my longing. My blood boiled up when I stood in front of the Dąbrowa synagogue, the one concrete monument of our former Jewish life here! This, by the way, is the single Jewish synagogue that remained whole in Zagłębie after the Holocaust. I stand in front of the synagogue and cry out my entire sorrow, which had been accumulating from before the time I wandered over the town!
We still strayed for a long time over the town, searching for at least a little shadow of the past, and here we again met descendants of Dąbrowa Jews who live in Dąbrowa: Josef Stawski from Okrzei, who lives in his father's house, and works as a pourer in the former Huta-Bankowa, and has, by the way, many awards for his good work. He lived through many of Hitler's camps, and I learned from him that also his older brother Lajb Zalman lives in Dąbrowa on Cmentarna Street, and also works in the same foundry.
I came home today as a visitor where once my cradle stood, I came today
to my parents. The cemetery is silent, but somewhere a leaf touched my deep
pain for everything that is no more to be found
[Page 296]
In my home, where once my cradle stood, the kingdom of the dead rules today with a thin silence!
But life is stronger than all the deaths. It has long forgotten about those who were so cruelly torn up with their roots.
We will not forget them!

The JTV-89 is made for the shredder with a 14" fretboard radius and a James Tyler Fast n' Flat neck profile.

A rotary model selector dials the 25 virtual guitars plus sitar, banjo, and resonator guitar tones. A rotary alt tuning selector lets you pick from 12 alternate tunings. The fully adjustable Tyler Custom stoptail bridge is fitted with an L.R. Baggs Radiance Hex piezo pickup system for sweet acoustic guitar tones. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut keeps the strings from gripping and sticking. Comes standard with a durable, padded gig bag with a stitched Line 6 logo and 2 pockets big enough for all your gig essentials.
Dual-core Processor
Dual-core processor delivers 4 times the punch. This new chip is smaller, faster, and more powerful. It has allowed Line 6 to run fuller, clearer models of guitar bodies and pickups; let all their models have alternate tunings; improved alternate tuning purity and speed; provided alternate tuning customization; and improved modes of operation and editing. The JVT-89 sounds and responds surprisingly more like a traditional guitar.
Variax Workbench Software
Variax Workbench software is a virtual custom shop. This free software, which can be downloaded from the Line 6 website, lets you create custom models on your computer and upload them to your JTV-59 via its built-in USB port.

This combination USB interface and software package for James Tyler Variax guitars allows you to see and hear the physical changes to your custom guitar in real time. Ever wonder what a single-coil pickup would sound like on a hollowbody guitar tuned an octave down? Probably not. That's because it wasn't a reality " until now.
The Alt Tune Knob
Each James Tyler Variax modeling guitar has a dedicated Alt Tune knob. This knob has 12 settings, including two labeled "Model" and "Standard." Set to "Model," the Alt Tune knob lets you access the alternate tunings you created using Variax Workbench virtual guitar workbench software. These tunings are stored on your Variax's Model knob. Set to "Standard," the Alt Tune knob overrides saved tunings to set every model to standard "E-to-E" tuning. The Alt Tune knob's remaining 10 settings are the most commonly used tunings used by modern metal style guitarists.
The Virtual capo feature lets you easily transpose any song to the key that suits your vocalist. And you can adjust your tuning on the fly without having to use "Workbench" software.
Battery powered DSP
A proprietary lithium-ion battery delivers at least 12 hours of continuous performance. A 4-LED battery life meter lets you know how much rocking time you have left. Rolling down the volume knob when you're not playing will automatically put the DSP to sleep and helps maximize battery life. So even with your cable still plugged in, you will not be using battery power. DSP wakes up instantly when you turn the volume back up. The JTV-89 functions as a standard electric guitar whether the battery installed or not.

No probably to it. Brandi is the BEST MILF. Brandi if you ever decide to leave your husband I will marry you. There is nothing about you that does not turn me on. Your body is perfect and makes my cock ache, but that smile, those eyes and that mouth and tougue also help send me into orbit and cumming all over myself. Makes me shoot cum all the way to my face. You are truly the best. I could spend a life time eating your pussy and rimming that fine ass. OH MYYYYYYYYYY.

I'm not usually into six packs but she really pulls it off.
Nice to see a great looking lady taking such pleasure in her work.Beautiful!!
