But even more, he offended public officials by publishing works that aimed to keep Catholics firm in their faith. Officials who searched his house found various vestments and suspect books, and even managed to extract information from William's distraught wife. Over the next 18 months William remained in prison, suffering torture and learning of his wife's death.
He was eventually charged with printing and publishing the Treatise of Schisme, which allegedly incited violence by Catholics and which was said to have been written by a traitor and addressed to traitors. While William calmly placed his trust in God, the jury met for only 15 minutes before reaching a verdict of "guilty." William, who made his final confession to a priest who was being tried alongside him, was hanged, drawn and quartered the following day: January 11, 1584.
He was beatified in 1987.

Nearly 350 kinds of birds have visited Chicago's Lincoln Park, one of the region's best places to see birds. Join experienced bird watchers from the Chicago Ornithological Society on weekly bird walks around North Pond to observe and learn about our feathered neighbors. Each week may bring a different assortment of birds to view. Dress for the weather and bring binoculars.
The group meets at 7:00am by the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum at the southeast corner of North Pond (2430 N. Cannon Dr.), usually on the casting pier at the south end of the pond, but sometimes between there and the museum lobby.
All walks take place on Wednesday mornings starting at 7:00a.m. The walks last for about 2 hours, but participants can readily leave before the end if they need to.

Tournament Central
Game 12, UMBC vs. Ohio Game Notes
HARRIONBURG, Va. – UMBC women's basketball's junior guard Janelle Saling (Lathrop,
Mo./Lathrop/Highland CC) scored nine of her 12 points during a five minute span in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome a 21 point second-half deficit, as Norfolk State held on to defeat the black and gold, 56-43, in the first game of the James Madison Invitational on Sunday afternoon at the Convocation Center.
Saling knocked down four-of-eight from beyond the arc for a season-best 12 points. Nine of Saling's points came during a 12-0 UMBC run to help the Retrievers cut their deficit to 10 points, 42-32, with 12:31 to go in the contest, but UMBC would knock down just two of its next 11 shots and turned the ball over six times during the span, to allow Norfolk State to extend its advantage back to 17 points and cruise to victory.
Freshman guard Taylor McCarley (Bowie, Md./Academy of Holy Cross) reached double-digit points for the fourth time in the last six games, registering 12 points, while sophomore center Bridget O'Donnell (Belle Mead, N.J./Montgomery) finished with eight points, six rebounds and three blocks. Freshman forward Sara Tarbert (Delta, Pa./Kennard-Dale) struggled from the floor, but led the team in rebounds (eight) and assists (six).
The Spartans pick up their first road win of the season to improve to 5-6, while the Retrievers fall to 1-10 after dropping their 10th consecutive contest.
The Retrievers opened up the matchup on an 8-0 run after knocking down three of its first four shots, but a timeout regrouped Norfolk State, as the Spartans responded with eight straight points to knot the contest with 13:41 to go. NSU would take its first lead of the game with 11:54 to go in the first and would not look back, as Rachel Gordon's go-ahead layup was the first of 14 unanswered points by the Spartans. Gordon scored seven of her 11 points in the opening period.
A layup from McCarley followed by a trey from sophomore Liz McNaughton (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) brought UMBC within eight, 25-17, at the break. The Retrievers shot 28.0 percent from the floor in the opening half and were held without a field goal for an 8:32 span, while the Spartans shot 44 percent from the floor in the first stanza.
Norfolk State continued to add to its advantage early in the second half, opening up the stanza on a 13-4 run, but UMBC did not go down without a fight. The Retrievers came within 10 on three different occasions following Saling's sparked run, however, UMBC was unable to close the cap to single digits.
The black and gold turned the ball over 18 times in the game, but it was the Spartan's 11 offensive boards in the second half that proved to be crucial, as NSU was able to capitalize on its second chances, resulting in 16 second-half points.
Norfolk State was led by Gordon's double-double, on 11 points and 11 rebounds, while junior center Quineshia Leonard chipped in 11 points and six rebounds off the bench.
The Retrievers conclude the James Madison Invitational on Monday, Dec. 30 when it takes on Ohio at noon at the Convocation Center.
Game Notes
-UMBC drops its first-ever meeting against Norfolk State.
-The Retrievers fall for the 10th consecutive game for the first time since the 2003-04 season when it lost 17 games in a row.
-Taylor McCarley is averaging 11.0 points in her last six games, including four double-digit scoring games.
-Janelle Saling earned America East Player of the Game honors after registering the first double-digit scoring game of her career. Nine of her 12 points came during a five minute span in the second half.

Tyson Goldsack and Steele Sidebottom will return on Sunday night when Collingwood aim to bounce back after consecutive AFL defeats.
Goldsack missed his side's last-start losses to Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn due to a knee injury, while Sidebottom has served a three-match ban for his bump on Maverick Weller.
Goldsack trained well on Wednesday and Magpies coach Nathan Buckley confirmed he was ready to go for the clash with rivals Carlton.
Tom Langdon, concussed in the 29-point loss to the Hawks, remains in doubt while defensive general Nick Maxwell (calf) aims to return the following weekend.
Sidebottom will be physically refreshed after his enforced break, although the 23-year-old has worked hard at training to ensure he stayed sharp.
"Bill Davoren runs the fitness side of things and we discussed really early what that four-week period (leading up to the clash with Carlton) was going to look like for Steele," Buckley said.
"He's done a lot of work. He's an endurance athlete that covers 15kms a game, so you need to replace that somehow.
"His touch is good and he'll be right to go."
Considered a top-four chance a fortnight ago, the Magpies' place in the finals will be anything but assured if they slip up against the Blues.
Buckley was unwilling to humour such a long-term view on Wednesday.
The former captain pointed to inexperience as the reason behind Collingwood's recent defensive woes.
But Buckley was confident his side could turn it around, starting with an out-of-sorts opposition that have dropped their past four matches.
"They will be smarting from their recent form and clearly there's a bit of rivalry there," Buckley said, adding that he didn't envisage talking to Blues coach Mick Malthouse at Thursday's Peter Mac Cup Breakfast.
"I don't want to see him do well on the weekend and I'm sure he doesn't want to see me do well," Buckley said of Malthouse, who coached Collingwood to their 2010 premiership.
The Peter Mac Cup aims to raise funds and awareness for the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
This season it will be played at the perplexing timeslot of 7.10pm on Sunday.
"It (scheduling) is pretty much like umpiring decisions. There's no use bellyaching about it because you can't change much," Buckley said.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 1: The Cherokee Nation in the 1820s
Cherokee culture thrived for thousands of years in the southeastern United States before European contact. When the Europeans settlers arrived, the Indians they encountered, including the Cherokee, assisted them with food and supplies. The Cherokees taught the early settlers how to hunt, fish, and farm in their new environment. They introduced them to crops such as corn, squash, and potatoes; and taught them how to use herbal medicines for illnesses.
By the 1820s, many Cherokees had adopted some of the cultural patterns of the white settlers as well. The settlers introduced new crops and farming techniques. Some Cherokee farms grew into small plantations, worked by African slaves. Cherokees built gristmills, sawmills, and blacksmith shops. They encouraged missionaries to set up schools to educate their children in the English language. They used a syllabary (characters representing syllables) developed by Sequoyah (a Cherokee) to encourage literacy as well. In the midst of the many changes that followed contact with the Europeans, the Cherokee worked to retain their cultural identity operating "on a basis of harmony, consensus, and community with a distaste for hierarchy and individual power."1
In 1822, the treasurer of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions reported on some of the changes that had been made:
It used to be said, a few years since, with the greatest of confidence, and is sometimes repeated even now, that "Indians can never acquire the habit of labour." Facts abundantly disprove this opinion. Some Indians not only provide an abundant supply of food for their families, by the labour of their own hands, but have a surplus of several hundred bushels of corn, with which they procure clothing, furniture, and foreign articles of luxury.2
Two leaders played central roles in the destiny of the Cherokee. Both had fought along side Andrew Jackson in a war against a faction of the Creek Nation which became known as the Creek War (1813-1814). Both had used what they learned from the whites to become slave holders and rich men. Both were descended from Anglo-Americans who moved into Indian territory to trade and ended up marrying Indian women and having families. Both were fiercely committed to the welfare of the Cherokee people.
Major Ridge3 and John Ross shared a vision of a strong Cherokee Nation that could maintain its separate culture and still coexist with its white neighbors. In 1825, they worked together to create a new national capitol for their tribe, at New Echota in Georgia. In 1827, they proposed a written constitution that would put the tribe on an equal footing with the whites in terms of self government. The constitution, which was adopted by the Cherokee National Council, was modeled on that of the United States. Both men were powerful speakers and well able to articulate their opposition to the constant pressure from settlers and the federal government to relocate to the west. Ridge had first made a name for himself opposing a Cherokee proposal for removal in 1807. In 1824 John Ross, on a delegation to Washington, D.C. wrote:
We appeal to the magnanimity of the American Congress for justice, and the protection of the rights, liberties, and lives, of the Cherokee people. We claim it from the United States, by the strongest obligations, which imposes it upon them by treaties; and we expect it from them under that memorable declaration, "that all men are created equal."4
Not all tribal elders or tribal members approved of the ways in which many in the tribe had adopted white cultural practices and they sought refuge from white interference by moving into what is now northwestern Arkansas. In the 1820s, the numbers of Cherokees moving to Arkansas territory increased. Others spoke out on the dangers of Cherokee participation in Christian churches, and schools, and predicted an end to traditional practices. They believed that these accommodations to white culture would weaken the tribe's hold on the land.
Even as Major Ridge and John Ross were planning for the future of New Echota and an educated, well-governed tribe, the state of Georgia increased its pressure on the federal government to release Cherokee lands for white settlement. Some settlers did not wait for approval. They simply moved in and began surveying and claiming territory for themselves. A popular song in Georgia at the time included this refrain:
All I ask in this creation
Questions for Reading 1
1. In what ways did the Cherokees adopt aspects of white culture? What did they do to protect Cherokee culture?
2. What did Major Ridge and John Ross have in common? What were their plans for the Cherokee Nation? Do you think these changes would protect the tribe's land? Why or why not?
3. Why did some Cherokees oppose these changes? If you were a Cherokee, which group do you think you would agree with? Why?
4. Why do you think John Ross, who was only one-eighth Cherokee and who was raised and educated in the white community, might have identified so strongly with his Indian heritage?
5. Read John Ross's letter to Congress carefully. What is its tone and what points does he make? Even though he was a slave holder, he appeals to the words of the Declaration of Independence. Do you think this strengthens his argument? Do you think it is an effective appeal? Why or why not?

Planting an edible garden in a raised bed allows you to maximize planting space in a small, contained area and still yield an abundant harvest. In contrast to traditional in-the-ground plots with plants organized in rows, raised beds allow roots to easily grow down rather than outward so more plants can thrive in a comparable amount of space. As a result, more herbs, vegetables and fruits can be cultivated per square foot of garden space. Our flexible plant-a-grams provide suggested plantings organized in 1-foot-square sections to fit any size bed.
Food gardening in raised beds helps create an optimum environment for growing herbs, vegetables and fruits: nutrient-rich soil, accessible and easy-to-maintain plants, and the ability to control pests in a contained area. An elevated bed also raises the plants to a comfortable level for the gardener, requiring less bending than with a plot that's flush with the ground.
Choose a site for your raised-bed garden that receives plenty of sun. A raised bed warms quickly in the spring and cools slowly in the fall, which is advantageous to most vegetable and herb plants. The extra warmth that a raised bed provides stimulates plants' growth and may hasten your harvest.
In a raised-bed garden, you have control over the quality of the soil. After you build the bed, fill it with a high-quality organic growing mix. Add either homemade compost, if you have it, or a commercial organic amendment and disperse it throughout the soil. The result will be optimum air, nutrition and water circulation throughout.
A major advantage to raised-bed gardening is that it requires less water than an in-ground garden: plants are closer together, moisture is applied only where it's needed and runoff is eliminated. Morning is the best time to water the garden, and a thorough soil soaking will keep things hydrated all day. (In general, you should avoid watering the foliage.) Pay attention to the weather and note how quickly the soil in your garden dries out. After a rainstorm, or as temperatures rise during the summer months, you may need to reduce or increase your watering. Typically, a little less water is better than too much. Most plants will communicate their moisture needs with a slight wilt of foliage.
Burrowing creatures crave plant roots. If gophers, chipmunks, groundhogs and similar animals are prevalent in your area, a few extra steps can help protect your harvest. Before filling your raised bed with soil, line the floor with landscape cloth or galvanized wire mesh and extend it several inches up the sides of the beds. This barrier will help keep animals out while still allowing water to permeate the soil and the garden to drain properly. Landscape fabric will also deter weed growth from underneath the bed. Over time, weeds may find their way into your garden, but pulling them will take little effort if their roots do not run deeply into the soil.
Because they are better aerated and have more organic material, raised beds require less supplemental plant food than standard in-ground garden plots. Fertilizer stays in concentrated areas and doesn't run off. Consider using only organic fertilizers, and apply them as recommended on the product labels.

Before we get started, I should note that many of you have recently sent in excerpts from the J. Crew catalog using the words to describe their clothing, fabrics, and (for all I know) toilet paper. There were just too many of those to choose from.
First, I'd like to thank Doris for submitting a special banner for me to use here.
And we're off!
For those of you who find your nose is easily offended by generic pseudo-pheromone smells, there's now artisan cologne:
Need something artisanal for your artisanal home? Maybe you should visit:
If you can't afford the premium charged by companies for using the word "artisan" (usually it seems to be a 50% or more mark-up) you can get discounted artisanal products with on-line coupons.
After the cheese, maybe you'd like some chocolate.
If you've had too much cheese and chocolate, you might need to see a dentist.
And while YOU may get to enjoy artisanal products, let's not forget about your best friend.
At this point, I think it's time for all this artisanal overuse to STOP!

What is this page?
This is a collection guide. It is a description of archival material held in the Special Collections Division,
J.Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University. The materials described here are physically available in our
reading room. To see what's been digitized in this collection, click on the thumbnail at the top right of this page
or look for hyperlinks in the container list and/or the preliminary inventory.
The collection is very strongly politically oriented and gives an in-depth view of North Carolina Democratic Party activities for the decade of the 1950's. The material is divided into general files (1944-1969), consisting of personal and professional correspondence, campaign material, memorandums, published material, etc.; Democratic Executive Committee files (1949-1959); American Cancer Society correspondence (1957); U.S. District Court judge's notes (1961-1967); speeches (1949-1969, undated); clippings (1959-1969); campaign material; photographs; William B. Umstead material; miscellaneous items; scrapbooks; and case files (1960s-1970s).
General files constitute the largest single unit and cover a variety of Larkins related activities. Earliest correspondence concerns the 1944 Democratic National Convention and the notification of then Senator Harry Truman of his selection as vice-presidential nominee. Other papers prior to 1952 touch upon the U.S. Army service of Larkins, American Legion activities, and personal and financial matters.
Beginning in 1952 the general files are concerned primarily with political activities including plans for the Jefferson-Jackson Day banquets (1952, 1953), election campaigns of William B. Umstead for governor and R. Hunt Parker for State Supreme Court (1952), and Lenoir County election returns (1952).
Material of interest for 1953 concerns the state fisheries industry, American Legion activities, Veterans Commission, the Republican administration in Washington, D.C., political appointments, activities of the State Department of Conservation and Development and the State Highway Commission, the prospect of a U.S. Senate seat for Larkins, biographical information on Dr. Charles F. Carroll, and gambling and temperance.
During 1954 and 1955 information pertains to the osteopathic profession; Jones County history; fund raising for Wake Forest College; natural gas legislation; genealogical information on the Warren family of Sampson County; highways, toll roads, bridges, including bridges over Cape Fear and Alligator rivers, and a road through the Croatan Forest; and appointments to state offices.
Of particular interest for 1956 and 1958 are personal accounts of the much publicized conspiracy case against Truman administration official T. Lamar Caudle of Wadesboro and correspondence expressing support of Larkins for lieutenant governor, congressman and governor. Correspondence during 1957 and 1958 concerns the purchase of art treasures for Tryon Palace at New Bern and problems surrounding the giving of art objects to the N.C. Museum of Art in Raleigh. Also of interest is a letter (October, 1957) commenting on the school situation in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the Pearsall Plan for schools in N.C.
By late in 1958 correspondence is primarily concerned with support of Larkins for governor in 1960. In addition to encouraging his candidacy, letters discuss other prospective candidates, the campaigns of Terry Sanford and Addison Hewlett, fund raising, and possible opposition to Larkins by key political figures. Regrettably there are no papers for January through May of 1960, the period of greatest importance and activity in the election campaign. Other topics of interest for 1959 include the state's wildlife restoration program and Federal Reserve System legislation before Congress (August, 1959).
Correspondence for 1961 through 1968 concerns state political activities past and present, the Kennedy administration in Washington, appointment of Larkins to a federal judgeship, World Federation (December, 1967), and Larkins' selection as Wake Forest University alumnus of the year (1968).
Democratic Executive Committee files are concerned primarily with fund raising and election campaign activities of the party. These papers dwell upon Jefferson-Jackson Day plans (1949-1959), Democratic National Convention (1956), "Dollars for Democrats" fund raising campaigns (1956-1959), and Democratic campaign strategy. Specific information of note includes the depressed condition of small business under the Eisenhower administration (1956), state government under Hodges' administration (1957), discontent among local party faithful, and the effect of the segregation issue upon national Democratic politics (1958).
Reports and speeches in these files include Governor Hodges' speech at the Southern Governors' Conference "Southern Point of View" ; a subcommittee report on Armed Services Preparedness; auditors' reports; and copies of John F. Kennedy speeches "Who Killed the Kennedy-Ives Labor Reform Bill" and "United States Military and Diplomatic Policies - Preparing for the Gap."
The American Cancer Society correspondence files (1957) are concerned solely with the awarding of a Distinguished Service Medal to Larkins by the National American Cancer Society.
U.S. District Court judge's notes in the collection consist of hand written notes made by Judge Larkins and his staff while court proceedings were in progress. These files cover all criminal cases over which Judge Larkins has presided between 1961 and1967. In addition, notes are included for one session of U.S. District Civil Court (1965) and a session of U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (1965).
Included in the speech section are addresses by Larkins and other political figures along with several of an unidentified nature.

The Indiana man accused of filching more than $1 million from clients of his financial services business -- then trying to fake his own death by parachuting out of a plane and letting it crash -- spoke out for the first time about the charges against him.
"I'm no Bernie Madoff," Marcus Schrenkertold the Northwest Indiana Times.
The NWI Times' exclusive interview with Shrenker reads like a script for Law & Order, and the charges leveled against him paint of a picture of a seemingly wealthy businessman who squandered millions while secretly funneling his investors' cash into his own accounts. Then, when things got hairy, he tried (and failed) to fake his own death.
Schrenker seemed to lay some of the blame for what happened on his bi-polar disorder, which he claims was diagnosed while he was in college.
But a psychology professor who talked with the Times about Schrenker's claims seemed doubtful that a manic bi-polar state could last long enough for someone to plan a flight, and stash a motorcycle where he could find it after parachuting from the plane, as Schrenker was convicted of doing. He was sentenced to 4 years in prison for making the fake distress call and intentionally ditching his aircraft.
Now, Schrenker is back in Indiana to face 11 felony counts from the alleged fraud scheme. He'll go to trial in March 2010.
When the Times asked Schrenker about the Jekyll-and-Hyde comparisons made about him in the wake of the scandal, he wasn't surprised.
"I can see that," Schrenker, told The Times. "There is some truth to that."
What remains to be seen is whether the court will buy Schrenker's bi-polar disorder as a viable defense to the million-dollar fraud he's accused of perpetrating.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. strands Ryan Newman at airport
BROOKLYN, Mich. — Ryan Newman was looking for a ride Friday morning from Dale Earnhardt Jr., but he arrived to a rude awakening at the airport in Statesville, N.C.
"His truck was there, and the airplane was gone," Newman said with a laugh. "So, I knew I was in trouble at that point."
Earnhardt had agreed Tuesday to let Newman tag along to Michigan International Speedway, but a busy week of added media obligations for NASCAR's most popular driver (coming off a victory at Pocono Raceway) pushed up his flight by 30 minutes to 8 a.m.
GLUCK:New Chase format wins if Earnhardt Jr. does
The new departure time didn't get relayed to Newman.
"I didn't know about it; I didn't look at my calendar," Earnhardt said. "When I got up this morning I didn't look at the clock, I just got in the shower, went downstairs, got in the car and drove to the airport and got on the plane. I forgot about Ryan. That was unfortunate for sure, but it happens."
Newman went into scramble mode because he had thought "that was the last ride" headed to Michigan. He drove across the airport and found the plane belonging to NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett, who is working at Michigan this weekend on the Nationwide Series broadcast for ESPN.
NEWMAN:Finds good fit with Richard Childress Racing
"Dale wasn't there yet, but his pilots were," Newman said. "And I said, 'I'm hoping you guys are going to Michigan, right?' It was extravagantly convenient and lucky at the same time."
Racing to the track from the airport in nearby Adrian, Newman climbed into his No. 31 Chevrolet just in time for practice on the 2-mile oval, where he was 14th fastest.
In an amusing and fortuitous twist, Newman's spotter is Jarrett's oldest son, Jason.
"I told Jason his old man saved me on this one," Newman said. "That's probably the closest I've been to not making a practice."

Al-Shabab militants in Somalia post alleged photo of French commando killed in botched raid
MOGADISHU, Somalia In a gruesome display that included a taunt of France's president, Somali militants on Monday posted photos of what appeared to be a dead French soldier surrounded by weapons and gear.
Three photos posted by an al-Shabab-run Twitter account show a white man wearing military pants and a blood-soaked shirt surrounded by three guns, ammunition clips and protective gear. A helmet lies between his legs.
In each of the photos a silver cross pendant hanging from the soldier's neck is visible. Al-Shabab said in its posting: "A return of the crusades, but the cross could not save him from the sword." Al-Shabab is the al Qaeda-affiliated militant group that controls much of southern Somalia.
One posting also taunted France's president, saying: "Francois Hollande, was it worth it?"
The soldier was killed during a botched military raid early Saturday to rescue a French intelligence officer held by al-Shabab since July 2009.
- Obama: U.S. assisted France's failed Somali rescue
- French commando killed in botched Somalia raid
- U.S. to train Africa forces in anti-terror
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Monday it was likely two commandos were killed during the raid. France believes the hostage, whose code-name was Denis Allex, was also killed, though al-Shabab says he is still alive.
Le Drian appeared to predict the release of the pictures, saying several hours before the posting that France believed al-Shabab was preparing a "macabre and disgraceful" display of the dead soldiers' bodies. Photos of only one body had been displayed as of 6 p.m. Monday Somalia time (2 p.m. GMT, 9 a.m. EST).
In addition to the Twitter postings, al-Shabab released a longer statement that appeared to mix exaggerated boasts with fact. The group said that the operation resulted in the deaths of "several" French forces and injured "many more." The militants said the commander leading the operation was among those wounded, and that al-Shabab "paramedic teams" transferred him to a hospital where he died.
The group also said a decision had been reached concerning the fate of Allex. It said that decision would be announced in coming hours.
Transported by helicopters, the French commandos attacked the al-Shabab position early Saturday in an attempt to free Allex. Le Drian said the government decided to stage the rescue a month ago, when Allex's location seemed to have settled down "in a spot accessible by the sea." U.S. military aircraft briefly entered Somali airspace to support the rescue operation, President Obama said Sunday, but did not employ their weapons.
Fierce fighting broke out after the French troops landed. French officials said they counted 17 dead among the Islamists.
Al-Shabab once controlled all of south-central Somali, including the capital, Mogadishu. African Union troops pushed al-Shabab out of the capital in 2011, but the militants still control wide swaths of rural southern Somalia.

MAGDEBURG, Germany, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- A German man won a brand new $32,000 Mini Cooper by having the word "MINI" tattooed on his penis during a broadcast.
Organizers said Andreas Muller, 39, of Saxony-Anhalt, won the radio station contest by coming up with the wildest Mini-related stunt to earn the vehicle, The Austrian Times reported Wednesday.
Muller had his sex organ tattooed during a live broadcast, and listeners heard his pained exclamations during the process.
"Once I'm sitting in the car, it won't matter anymore. Then the pain will be gone and it'll be alright," he said.

Rumor: Cut and Paste Coming to iPhone 3.0--Still No Flash
Though it seems like one of the more humble request features for the next version of the iPhone software, after two iterations of its popular handset, Apple hasn't yet seen fit to include the cut-and-paste function in its mobile OS. With the company's announced unveiling of the iPhone 3.0 software for developers tomorrow, hopes are once again high--and Kevin Rose is doing what he can to fan the flames.
The Digg founder confirmed suspicions that Apple would be adding both that feature and the ability to use the iPhone as a PC modem, and announcing this at tomorrow's press conference. Both of these features, as the Dow Jones Newswire points out, will also be available in Palm's forthcoming Pre.
One key feature the handset won't have, according to Rose, is Flash compatibility, despite recent talks between Adobe and Apple.

A delicious way to use up leftover roast chicken is to make a warm and comforting Chicken Pot Pie. Taking advantage of store bought puff pastry makes the process even easier. The filling can be prepared in advance with any vegetables you have on hand, but I like to use carrots, celery and a handful of green peas and sliced leeks sautéed in butter until tender. A rich thick creamy sauce brings the whole dish together, so it's important to taste for seasoning as you go along, adjusting the flavour to suit your palate. The final flourish is laying a rolled out sheet of puff pastry on top of the serving dish and brushing it with an egg wash, using any extra pastry to decorate the top. Baked for 30-40 minutes at 400°F and voilà - a bubbling homemade chicken pot pie capped with a handsome crown of golden puff pastry.
Roast chicken with carrots, leeks, celery and peas in a thick sauce made of
chicken stock and a roux
The mixture is poured into an ovenproof decorative dish
One sheet of thawed puff pastry is rolled out and laid on top of the dish, crimping the edges, decorating the top and brushing the surface with an egg and cream wash
Baked at 400°F for 30-40 minutes until t's bubbling and the surface is golden brown
Chicken Pot Pie
Serves 8
2 lb cooked chicken
1 tsp salt
2 cups finely sliced carrots
1 1/2 cups finely sliced celery
1 1/2 cups frozen peas
1 leek, washed and finely sliced, white part only
4 tbsp butter, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock
1/4 tsp white or black pepper and kosher salt
1 pkg frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg
2 tbsp whole milk
Remove the skin from the chicken and separate the meat from the bones and tear into bite-size pieces then place in a large bowl along with the frozen peas and finely chopped celery. Place the carrots in a small pot of boiling water and cook over medium-high heat, covered for 3 minutes. Drain the carrots and add to the chicken. Place half the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat and cook the leeks until soft, about 5-6 minutes, than add to the chicken mixture.
In a saucepan, melt the remaining butter over medium heat, and cook the flour and pepper, stirring, for one minute. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock, bring to a boil and cook stirring often, until smooth and thickened, about 5 minutes. Pour over the chicken mixture, season with salt and pepper, then allow to cool for 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half of puff pastry about 2 inches larger than the top of the dish. Place over the dish and trim to leave 1/2-inch overhang, reserving the excess pastry. Press the overhang onto and over the edge of the dish. With a fork, whisk the egg with the milk, then brush over the pastry. Use the excess pastry to cut out shapes and place on top if desired, and brush the egg mixture over the pastry details, and cut 4 to 6 steam vents. Bake at 400°F until the filling is bubbly and the pastry is golden, about 30-40 minutes.

When fashion shows are held in the style capitals of Paris and Milan, they're always a season ahead, so in springtime you're looking at fall collections and in fall you're viewing at spring designs.
It's refreshing when you can actually look at designs on a runway and wear them. Right. Now.
That's the plan for "An Afternoon of Fashion" at Second Home Kitchen + Bar on Sunday when Garbarini will present summer looks and Charlie Price of Antoine du Chez will style the hair on Donna Baldwin models.
Beginning at 5 p.m. the restaurant will serve modern bites along with cocktails made with Tanteo Tequila. The fashion show is at 7 p.m.
Store owner Terry Garbarini says they'll be presenting looks by many of their regular designers, including Milly, Nicole Miller and Robert Rodriquez.

I think if they had two wheelie bars instead of the centered one they have it would be a lot more stable... any thoughts...???
I think a single wheelie bar is just fine, as long as it is centered correctly. That's what the real car uses, and that's what the high performance rc drag cars use mostly. If I was having problems on launch, If anything, I would make a longer single wheelie bar.
1 wheel is better that 2 wheels... With two wheels you might have a "walking" truck...
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
Real drag cars have a locked diff this funny car does not it may be a little different set of rules.
When the wheelie bar is working there is torque flex happening to the chassis. With 2 wheels on the wheelie bar it can put more pressure on one of them than the other. This causes instability... Also it's an extra wheel with extra drag working against you.... Even the one that do still use the 2 wheel wheelie bar, those 2 wheels are set pretty close to each other..
All Lives Matter
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Have a good look at NHRA pro stock cars they do not have a single wheel. Single is not better then 2. The only reason the single wheel is on the funny car or dragster is to keep it from going over backawrds thats it. Pro stock uses them as part as the suspension on the lauch. LOL a single wheel on a prostock would be death. It would roll rotate either left or to the rite on that single wheel and drive the the car eaither left or rite. If a single wheel was better prostock would be running them.
I agree 100%, most Pro Stock's do use a 2 wheel setup.... Then again I was talking about Funny Cars which is a totally different beast. The Traxxas RC is a Funny Car replica.... Not Pro Stock.......
All Lives Matter
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Slayer.. your half right... All PS teams with a suspension have two wheeled rear wheelie bars,... how ever several only use one of them for contact on a launch.... some subscribe to the theroy of using just the left one and have the right one high enouhg to not be part of the setup.... also.. the much faster Pro Mods only use 1 wheeled rear bars....\
Back ot the subject at hand.... on a drag car... mainly the Traxxas FC we are talking about .. the issue is the car is trying to leave harder than the car is set for.... so you have two options....cut back on the power at launch... or add weight (stick on big car wheel weights) to the front....
THe Traxxas FC doesnt offer the same real word offering as its larger counter part on launch... "wheel spin".... and "tire squat" bot hare key parts to the big FC's launching correctly..... not everything ..but key parts of it.... the Tire squat is what the wheelie bar helps control on the big car... as well as the raising of the front end.. to a certin extent....
If your wanting to launch as hard as you can.. i suggest the wheel weights stuck to the front of the chassis.... will help keep the nose down some .. and more controlable.... you will still get som wheels up launches..just not as big.... experiment to find your happy medium...
Pretty sure the foam tires have no torsion squat either,,, Tire options sound like something aftermarket will pick up on... But that takes time, I don't see hop ups and aftermarket stuff showing up for a little while after something comes out.... But I'm sure it will...
All Lives Matter
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Not sure on the slipper... be interesting to try...
i think a little softer "squat" on the rear shock/spring set up would help with the wheelies hitting the bar too hard....
the foam tires i have seen for the Traxxas FC have a decent amount of sidewall.. and have a VERY small mount of tire squat...but.. they do allow for a bit of twist on preped surfaces.... (rim turns before the actual contact patch of the tire does... kind of like the big cars.) and gives a bit of wheel spin on launch which cuts back on hitting the wheelie bars...
Mike Smith of Mike Smith Tires/Lochman R/C Products and the MHRA r/c drag club is taking peoples FC rims they send him and mounting foam on them.... He makes tires for the other r/c drag cars out there.. and they hold all but a couple world records....
with a twin wheel wheelie bar a long sustained wheelie will be nice and stable....but the idea here isnt to ride out a wheelie...but to quickly convert the rotational energy into forward motion....and one wheel does it quite efficiently. And with less parasitic drag. adding a little weight to the nose can also help calm down the wheelie effect when traction permits it.. I also suggest checking for proper bar height as when the car gets up to speed the down force created by the body/wing will compress the suspension and some cars will be riding on the wheelie bar without even being in a wheelie.
I have just order this funny car for my son. This is why I was reading your forum. I am along time drag race full scale. I have watched some off the video. The problem as I see it is 3 link settings. It takes alot of work to setup a full scale car. We center gravity, precent rise, etc.. You can find 4 link/3 link setups on many drag racing site. Just a few comments:There is no good reason to add weight to a drag racing car. "squat" good for tires to "squat" alittle."squat" bad for the car to "squat" that is the rear wheel moving up into car or car moving down over tire. For best taction the car should rise off the rear axle pushing tires down into pavement. The wheelie bar should kiss the ground just alittle one wheel or two does not matter. This is all controled by ajusting your 3 link. I am looking forward to helping my son setup his car. I hope my comments help.
very true speedair!....welcome to the forum!... the biggest issue running these 3-link dragsters is traction....they require a very smooth track and sticky surface to perform well....just like any other dragster...but with the rubber tires rather than foam it creates a very interesting variable getting the cars to hook and stay straight. My best run so far has been a 2.4@66mph in 132 ft.
Thank you for the welcome. That looks like a good run. From the video I watched the cars where hitting the wheel bar to hard JMO. On the full scale track you need rubber on the track that makes smoother and sticky. Maybe try a smooth rubber mat with coke or pepsi dryed on it. We plan to race on the full scale track. We will be timing to 60ft same as full size. A good full size 60ft is less than 1sec (dragster, Pro stock) most car 4 link cars 1.3 to 1.5 sec. Setting a 3 or 4 link takes alot of time. A flat is what 4 links are ajusted in that is turning link bar one flat side of a hex nut. It takes time that is the fun drag racing always trying to better your last run.
Maybe a longer wheeliebar.
Longer wheeliebar, mike smith foams, bigger battery and launch that baby
heres a longer wheelie bar for you guys http://rlchobbies.com/parts_traxxas_...r_replica.html
Got mine yesterday and it works Beautifully!!! Great fit, easy to install! They are coming out with a two wheel version also!
yes rich wanted me to post this. Now its time to put the power down.
about time, looks like i need to reach off in the dungeon and get the funny back out. thanks

Still looking for a great gift for dad? Here's a crafty idea that's fun for the kids to make.
If your dad is baseball crazy, he will adore this creation.
- PHOTOS: Gift Idea for Dad
All you need is a bunch of old baseballs. If you don't have any, you can buy some used baseballs or softballs from your local thrift store.
Use a drill to make holes through 10 balls. If you decide to use softballs, make sure you have a longer drill bit because of the size of the ball.
Get a wire coat hanger and straighten it up. You can snip the curly ends off to make a straight wire.
Then just randomly string the baseballs and softballs on the straight wire. Twist one side to make a loop and then curl the wreath so it creates the wreath shape and the other side of the hanger meets the loop.
Wrap the remaining section of hanger through the loop you created and close so that it's secure.
Technically you are done at this point, but you can add a little something. Maybe a bow or a baseball hat.
Special thanks to Pintrest Projects Blogspot for sharing this great project!

If you're a farmer, be proud and show it
If you haven't heard about the farming video taking the country by storm this week, now is your chance to watch "I'm Farming and I Grow It," the viral parody of LMFAO's annoyingly catchy dance hit "I'm Sexy and I Know It."
The weekend after the Fourth of July, CBS News ran a report about the video, drawing even more attention to the Facebook phenomenon. Part of it's charm, aside from having something else to hum while the earworm tune goes through your head, is the message of the fun spoof -- one most Jasper County residents already know -- that farmers feed the nation.
Given the drought and strange growing season that has already beset local farmers, as we get ready for next week's Jasper County Fair, this is a timely message indeed.
On a related note, the Farmers Market in downtown Rensselaer has now started Tuesday evening hours on the Courthouse Lawn from 4-6 p.m. in July and August. Music and special events will be held most nights, with Kids Night on July 24, a Pet Parade Aug. 14, the Retail Merchants Rocker Auction on Aug. 21 and the RCHS Band performing Aug. 28.
The market is also open every Saturday through October 7:30-11:30 a.m.

Subscribe To Hugh Jackman Mashes Up Les Mis And X-Men For Wolverine The Musical Updates
I've already subscribed
For years Hugh Jackman has managed an incredible career where he balances playing one of comic book movie's surliest heroes with rousing musical performances on stage and screen. Now, the star of The Wolverine and Les Miserables combines two of his greatest roles for our amusement.
BBC Radio 1's The Matt Edmondson Show had the inspired idea to give Jackman a parody version of the Les Mis number "Who Am I?" as penned for the star tormented by the role of Wolverine. Jackman--with a beard we suspect he's growing out for Pan--sings:
"Who am I? Am I a superhero with some claws?
While he doesn't stick the landing, we appreciate his willingness to get silly on the press tour for X-Men: Days of Future Past, which has Wolverine time traveling to save man and mutant-kind from a gruesome future.
Dare to compare this cheeky performance versus its Le Miserables inspiration:
Of course, The Matt Edmondson Show wasn't the first to come up with a Wolverine musical. This chipper version is from Barely Political, circa 2009.
Lastly, here's my personal favorite from Glove and Boots. Not only does it feature a pretty dead-on Wolverine puppet recounting his complicated saga, but also appearances from Spider-Man, Hulk, and Multiple Man in full chorus mode.
X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May 23rd.

The Met Office have upgraded their warning for Lancashire to 'Amber' as storm Doris heads to the UK.
Forecasters are now predicting that parts of Lancashire could be battered by winds of up to 80mph and residents are being warned to prepare for extreme weather.
The updated warning was issued on 22 February and is valid from 6am-8pm on Thursday 23 February.
A Met Office spokesman has advised that damage to buildings, interruptions to power supplies and widespread travel disruption are likely, and there is even a danger of injury from flying debris.
Residents should also be on the look out for trees that may be damaged or blown over, they added.
In a Statement to their website the Met Office says: "There is still some uncertainty about the track of storm Doris, but increasing confidence that there will be widespread disruption across parts of England and Wales.
"Some very strong winds are expected on Thursday in association with storm Doris with gusts of 60-70 mph likely, and 70-80 mph on coasts and hills.
"Whilst the strongest winds look to be only short-lived, damage to structures, interruptions to power supplies and widespread disruption to travel networks are likely, with a danger of injury from flying debris.
"Trees are also likely to be damaged or blown over. Heavy rain is also likely through Thursday as well as some snow over high ground as the system clears eastwards."
Insurer Aviva have issued the following advice on action you can take to secure your property before the storm arrives
· If possible park the car in a garage, or away from large trees
· If time allows and it is safe to do so check for loose tiles on the roof, secure any weak fencing etc to minimize the risk of causing damage to other parts of your property.
· Safely store or secure any garden furniture, ornaments, bikes or children's toys/outside play equipment.
· Make sure all doors and windows are closed.
Lancashire County Council was also gearing up for the storm.
Phil Durnell, head of highways for Lancashire County Council, said: "We're well prepared for whatever the weather holds for us with the arrival of Storm Doris.
"Ahead of the high winds, which are forecast for Thursday, we're ensuring that our highway teams and external contractors are ready to deal with incidents such as roads being blocked by trees, as well as any other maintenance that may be needed.
"We're also ready for any more wet or wintry weather which may accompany this, with our teams well prepared and equipped to keep the roads moving in the event of cold weather, or respond to flooding if necessary."

Zenescope Entertainment is reporting that the #1 issue of new comic book title Alice in Wonderland has sold out through Diamond Comic Distributors. Further, the #1 issue has sold through the 19,000 initial printing on the first day of its release. At this time there are no plans to do a second printing of the book but Zenescope has made the comic book available for digital download immediately through the Comixology and Zenescope Apps and can be purchased there.
Zenescope's Alice in Wonderland is a new mini-series featuring Alice Liddle as she journeys through the insanity-filled realm of Wonderland. Zenescope first visited the mythology of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland back in 2007 with the breakout hit Return To Wonderland. The indie comic book publisher has since released multiple mini-series that re-imagine Lewis Carroll's classic story as a present day horror and fantasy tale.
"To sell out of a large print run this quickly is stunning." said Zenescope Editor-in-Chief Ralph Tedesco. "It's a great feeling to have such a loyal and continually growing fan base that responds so well to our re-imagining of Wonderland. The good news is that there's more of it to come."
"We've been planning to tell this story for a long time and it seems that our fans have been patiently waiting for it. It's awesome to see this kind of response", says series writer Raven Gregory.
Zenescope's Alice in Wonderland is being written by Raven Gregory and features interior artwork and coloring by Robert Gill and Jason Embury. This first issue features cover art by Artgerm, Ebas, and Nei Ruffino. The first issue has also been released digitally on the same day as the printed version and is available through the Zenescope and Comixology Apps.
Zenescope Entertainment was founded by Joe Brusha and Ralph Tedesco in 2005 and has quickly grown into one of the top comic book and graphic novel publishing companies in the world. Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales and subsequent spinoff series such as Escape From Wonderland, Neverland and The Piper, which put a dark twist on classic fables, are some of the best-selling and longest running original independent comic books on shelves today. Zenescope's licensed titles include the on-going, critically acclaimed Charmed series, based off of the long-running popular television series, as well as Se7en and Final Destination, based off of New Line Cinema's successful film franchises.

Even though the self-proclaimed King of the South is back behind bars, his fans won't have wait much longer for his latest record.
Rapper T.I., who is headed back to prision after a September drug bust, will release his next album Dec. 7, according to New York magazine.
The album, originally entitled "King Unleashed" but now dubbed "No Mercy," features a slew of guest stars, including Kanye West, Eminem and Christina Aguilera and several notable producers. Dr. Dre pops up on several tracks as well. The lead single from the album, "Get Back Up," is already out and features Chris Brown.
T.I. commented on his new album with a statement on his website.
"This album represents some of my best work inspired by my most recent best and worst life experiences," he wrote. "They say adversity brings forth inspiration so y'all can imagine how inspired I've been during the recording process for this album. I've been taking stock of myself and digesting everyone's comments and criticisms. Now it's my turn to express myself and take you into my mind. The real won't hate and the truth won't wait! If God is with me who can be against me."
The rapper was arrested in Los Angeles in September for drug possession. The bust violated a probation deal in place after T.I., whose birth name is Clifford Harris, was released from jail after serving time for a federal weapons charge in 2009. He surrended himself to authorities on November 1 to begin serving an 11 month sentence.
