I was recently reminded of my old livejournal days. A friend and I used to write nonsence fairytales paragraph each via email. This soon graduated into writing stories on a challenge, ie. positioning friends into historical situations etc. So this is one such story, a part-tim communist, a beautiful man, a member of the Scottish Socialist Party, who hadn’t read The Communist Manifesto but kept it by the bathtub on spoken word cassette; he was my muse, enjoy. (I’m shocked to find this site is still active and this story is still on the greater web.)
Once upon a time in a far off land of factories and farms and smelly poor fairies and fat rich fairies and red flags and blintzes and…..; there lived a handsome young fairy called Red-Ralph. Red-Ralph wasn’t particularly poor, nor particularly smelly. He wasn’t even particularly rich or fat. In fact, all the other little poor smelly fairies would poke fun at Red-Ralph “You’re not poor” or “You’re not smelly”. So Red-Ralph’s parents, having noticed how troubled their little fairy prince was; sent Red-Ralph to a school for the fat rich children. And, yes that’s right, you guessed it boys and girls “You’re not rich” and “You’re not fat” And so it went on until Red-Ralph was old enough to go to the jobcentre where he would spend his time in the twice weekly restart groups learning all about Microsoft Word and Applications Forms and CV’s and VD. But none of this bothered Red-Ralph as now he was surrounded by people like him, too rich to work in the factory and too poor to be playing polo with the rich fatties.
Red-Ralph was a very generous young fairy who would share everything he owned or help out anyone in trouble whenever necessary. And even better than that, he never hurt a fly. Well, that’s not strictly true, there was the 13-day war when Red-Ralph and his well-meaning, and rather well-armed Red-Friends set fire to the rich peoples homes, stole all their belongings and dragged them for miles behind their own limousines. Well, their houses were too big and everyone else was cold so when the houses burned all the smelly people with typhoid and cholera gathered round the fires and got all lovely and toasty. (Nobody thought about putting the poor cold people in the lovely big houses – something to do with symbols of totalitarianism they said – this storyteller thinks they just wish they had thought of it first). And perhaps you think stealing their belongings was mean but the rich fat folks wouldn’t have noticed, they had far too much already. And you should’ve seen the gross fatties being dragged behind the limos while Red-Ralph and his friends played their trumpets and banged their drums and tried to resist the kind of decadent celebration involving wine and food and young nubile strumpets, (that’s Reddish Newspeak for pretty young girls) they detested the fat rich folk for.
But why would they do these horrible things to the rich fattys? Surely they only had those big houses and flashy cars because they had been good little fairies who went to school and listened to the smelly-breathed teachers and spent many hours in the local jobcentre and Monday restart groups trying to find themselves a good job. Nah, don’t be silly, they got all they had by centuries (donkey years) of exploiting (Reddish Newspeak for the shaft) the poor people who they made work in their factories and farms for little more than a couple of potatoes and the soap suds scraped out of the rich fatty’s bottoms; And as if that wasn’t degrading (Newspeak for icky) enough, the rich fatties would flaunt their flashy cars and their Rock of Gibraltar bellies down the dilapidated streets of the poor folks as often as they could, dodging the yucky buckets of bottom-goop being thrown from upper-floor windows and running people over rather than stopping; the poor people were well-known for the pleasure they received when throwing their buckets of bottom-goop at the rich fattys.
A few months after the 13-day war with the fatty’s – and a few days of poking their bellies with very pointy sticks – everything was back to normal. They poor people went to work then went home to their smelly little tenement buildings (they had outside toilets, eewww) and ate their mashed potatoes whilst picking the hair out of their complimentary bars of soap. But they were much happier now. Why? Well, I’ll tell you. Red-Ralph and his red-friends had created a land where all were equal and all was fair with everyone doing what they could for each other and everyone getting the same amount of potatoes and bum-fluffy soap. A few questions were asked where the bum-fluffy soap came from, but these questions weren’t heard as it was difficult to get into the only remaining mansion where Red-Ralph and his Red-Friends were staying – apparently they didn’t want to have to disturb the family dynamic by moving into one of the tenements and apparently their own tenements had burned down in mysterious insurance related fires. (From then on no poor people ever paid insurance, “I mean really, imagine your insurance company burning down your home” they all grumbled).
Years went by with plenty of potatoes to spare – some of the excess was used to create a mash potato mountain somewhere in the EU, (none of the poor smellies knew where this was as it was hard to buy holidays or even atlas with potatoes and bum-fluffy soap) of which it was promised that all the poor scurvy-ridden kids would get to slide down once it was finished. Even the dreaded typhoid and cholera were almost wiped out with only the people who could die, and those who needed to die from these diseases were obliged to.
All in all it was a happy little land, Red-Ralph was a hero to all and they even celebrated his birthday by renaming the 29th of February as Red-Ralph Tuesday, a joyful day when the poor would get together in Red Square, in front of Red Towers (Red-Ralph’s most un-humble-like home) and make blintzes to be eaten by the great man himself. All they had to do was sacrifice one weeks-worth of bum-fluffy soap to pay for the ingredients. Obviously the poor didn’t mind this sacrifice for the man who had freed them from the evil shackles of the fatty-rich folk and made them all equal.
A month after the first Red-Ralph Tuesday and it was Marx day again. Marx was Red-Ralph’s hero. Marx was a funny looking fairy from Germania who liked to spend a lot of his time in London drinking Pimms and playing Bacarat, but he was also the man who had written the great Red-Fairy Manifesto about how to make the poor be equal and give you whatever you needed, and sometimes vice-versa. Red-Ralph often spoke about Marx, from the safety of his White Meter Heated condo in Red Towers (well it was of a good elevation and provided the appropriate arena for transporting the gospel of Equalology to the masses) of how Marx had inspired him to give the poor the wondrous potato-filled existence they had today. Often the people would question Red-Ralph “Why do we only ever get potatoes as our pay?” “Why do we only get our smelly little tenements with the outdoor toilets?” “Why aren’t they’re more naked children on TV?” This gentleman, Fred the weatherman, was quickly arrested and put in jail equally with equally vile criminals before Red-Ralph answered:
“Don’t you also have the bum-fluffy soap?”
Once again, the great political thinker of his day had shown why he was more equal than them. Satisfied, the crowd dispersed, receiving an extra flake of bum-fluffy soap before being searched on their way out of Red Square and cattle-prodded back to their tenements with the smelly outdoor toilets.
But when the arrived at their tenements, something was amiss. The streets were awash with large-bellied men with bright, curly red hair and great floppy shoes and big red noses handing out little polystyrene boxes with a clowns face and large letter M on them. The poor were hesitant to open these little treasures but the sweet meaty smell was too much to resist and they opened their polystyrene boxes.
And behold, there it was in all its glory, a sesame seed bun encasing two prime beef patty’s with cheese, onion, lettuce and special sauce. “Now this is equality they thought”. “Stuff this up your fluffy soap hole, Red-Ralph”.
And the poor munched on their savoury treats with fervour and were then handed plastic cups containing a dark, syrupy liquid with little chunks of frozen water and some kind of cylindrical drinking apparatus which made everyone’s cheeks (not those ones, well, maybe if you suck hard enough) look so comical. And there were the French Fries, which quite frankly weren’t as nice as the Burger King crunchier King Fry so the fries were tossed aside and left for the less equal of the poor dogs to devour. And thus the celebrations continued into the wee hours with much burping and farting and throwing away of the nasty pickles.
In the morning, well, more like late afternoon after a lot of Imodium was imbibed, the poor trudged through the litter of polystyrene towards Red Towers and demanded the presence or Red-Ralph. Red-Ralph had got hard of hearing in these later years and even felt the occasional pang of guilt for his being more equal, and confused the poor people’s aggression with worship. He threw on his best Prada jacket and marched down the stairs to Red Square where he was welcomed with a hail of blintzes from all angles. Blintzes with nails in them. Blintzes with sharpened edges. Even chemical warfare blintzes (these belonged to the people who couldn’t get their hands on any Imodium). Red-Ralph didn’t stand a chance. He was dragged to his own prison and was left the only prisoner after all the perverts, rapists, thieves, paki-bashers and crime thriller writers were released to once more be equal in society.
Only a few weeks later Blue-Bobby, a greedy little fairy who had the biggest belly you’ll ever see; who had become the incredibly equal leader of the revolution against Red-Ralph, revealed his plan to punish Red-Ralph for hiding the wondrous beef patty from them for so long. And so it was that Red-Ralph was marched to the strange looking new building in Red Square where he was giving a uniform, a brief video on health and safety and was released onto the shop floor to begin his punishment in community service.
“Good afternoon and welcome to MacDonalds Drive-Thru, my names Red-Ralph, may I take your order?”

PHS students have activated their creativity to avoid boredom. They explain that they have been doing lots of different crafts, making art, learning music, and making jewelry to stay entertained. According to junior Lily Chirwa, “I am learning how to play piano, make food from scratch, and creating my own dance moves right now.” Other students make all kinds of creative things.
Freshman Dione Baloney has been spending some time with art challenges she finds online. She describes her recent project as “an art challenge on Tik Tok, and I was like it looks cool and wanted to try it. So you’re supposed to draw your favorite characters from tv, video games, anime, books, etc.”
Baloney says she has been making art since he was five, “and it kinda stuck with me since then.” She wanted to try a recent art piece because she’s “bored in the house, but really I just wanted to try something different for a change.”
Depending on the kind of art work and the artist, some projects take longer than others. According to Baloney, the Tik Tok process was “a three to ten hour process to think of the characters and how I wanted them to look.” In this drawing there are several characters. Baloney says, “The first character you see is Kakyion Noriaki from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure,” which is also her favorite character out of the characters drawn. The next character is Peridot from Steven Universe. Another character is Sesshomaru from an anime that his mom showed him called Inuyasha.
In addition to that, she designed Monokuma who is “actually a teddy bear running a school where a murder game happens and it’s called danganronpa.” Baloney says, “He’s technically a myth about an imaginary friend gone dark from a fandom called creepypasta.
The last character is a troll named Terezi Pyrope from a webcomic called Homestuck. Baloney was inspired to draw these specific characters because “I honestly love how their personality is and how the creator made them. They have brought many smiles, tears and laughs into my life.”
Other forms of art work have also been made by Phs students during this time, one of which includes a mandala drawing and tutorials.
According to senior Jessica Azarskov, “I am a digital & traditional artist and I do crafts. As a digital artist, I can portray many crafts within digital world; for now that we still have the school [laptops], I can do Photoshop. Crafts I do when I’m bored or creativity hits me. I made logos, banners, etc digitally. I have created google slides with all my art I created or commissioned to others.”
Azarskov says she has been “a self taught artist since 2015.” Her inspiration comes from “sources which include people I’ve known for many years and my passion for art. The picture was a selfie of us or someone we are inspired by. I used the name Justin because it was my crush’s selfie.”
It may not look like the name but in a different form, it is. Azarskov explains, “I typed out “Justin” then flipped/rotated it so it ended up in a circle, which caused some of the letters to look like symbols.”.
According to Azarskov, most of her artwork came from her art classes or art she did on her own time. For her mandala drawing, it was “a class project in Mrs Dornfeld’s Graphic Design 2 class.” Another piece she made is an earrings tutorial and shading rules. She says she made these because she “tries to help out as well as learn more techniques to guide beginner artists.”
Another type of artwork is bullet journal spreads. According to sophomore Kalista Roades, “With all this extra time, I’ve been able to make really pretty bullet journal spreads that I’m proud of.” Sometimes even though people are making art, they don’t always think of themselves as artists. Roades says, “I don’t really consider myself an artist, but I’ve been drawing things since elementary school art class like everyone.”
Roades explained it took her “about an hour to do all three spreads.” She had the idea “to tape in aesthetic pictures from the internet, and the other decorations were inspired by the pictures I chose.” Bullet Journals can be used for a variety of purposes, but Roades decided to make one for one specific reason during quarantine: to keep track of her online school work. Roades asserts that she learned how to make them from YouTube channels like How to ADHD, studyign, and AmandaRachLee.”
Students around the Ville are also creating artwork with a functional aspect. Junior Eliana Johnson recalls, “In painting we made greeting cards, so I made some to send to my grandmas who each live alone. In Computer Science we are doing individual projects, so I am going to program my own game on my computer.”
Similarly, junior Rosalyn Adams also creates art with function: “For boredom I’ve been finding new things to do like make jewelry.” These types of jewelry include bracelets, earrings, and necklaces.

Speaking on the review, Commissioner Borg will say: 'The review of the current aquaculture strategy will seek to unlock its potential for growth while continuing to ensure environmental sustainability and the highest health standards. We need to reduce our growing dependence on seafood imports and to turn our technological edge into jobs and growth within the EU and the global aquaculture market.'
Earlier this year, the Commission launched a major consultation with stakeholders on the way forward for sustainable aquaculture in the European Union, and aquaculture will be one of the Commission's strategic priorities for the Common Fisheries Policy in 2008. This week's conference will build on the analysis made by the Commission of the main issues identified in the course of the consultation, and help to guide future work.
The conference will begin with a plenary session on Thursday morning. This will be followed by two parallel workshops in the afternoon, looking at the role which public authorities can and do play in the development of the finfish and shellfish sectors, respectively. Speakers will cover a range of topics, including the challenges facing the sector in relation to environmental protection, animal health and welfare, sustainability, spatial planning, public health, markets and governance. The conference will conclude with a final plenary session on Friday morning, at which Commissioner Borg will give the closing address on the need for an EU strategy on aquaculture.

I often write about wanting the arts to be "invited to the table."
What table, you ask? The tables where big conversations are happening; the ones where community-wide initiatives, strategic directions and smart growth are being discussed, planned and implemented.
So it was with great delight that my board agreed that I should accept a recent invitation from former Fargo Commissioner Mike Williams to join a business group on a trip to Norway. For one fabulous week, I spent structured and unstructured time with regional leaders, learning about the Internet of Things, drones, electric vehicles, alternative energy and more.
I wasn't initially sure this trip made a lot of sense for me go on. But Mike Williams' response was, "Glad to hear you're interested in joining us on our learning tour. Public art is a large component of Norway's psyche and is integrated into the way they design and build. Hope you can joins us; a well rounded group will make our learning experience a catalyst for implementing our citizens' goals identified in Fargo GO 2030."
In Norway, I was struck by how people-first everything is. We were in four different cities (Oslo and three smaller ones) and, in each place, cars were not catered to - people were. The intentional walkability and feeling of community it engendered was astonishing.
Each night, regardless of the weather, people were outside in droves, walking on cobbled streets that have been converted into expansive promenades.
Right after I came back from Norway, I was in Bismarck for Gov. Doug Burgum's Main Street Initiative Summit, and he said, "If you want to attract cars, build and design your cities for cars. If you want to attract people, build and design your cities for people." That sure resonated with my experience in Norway.
Norway has outdoor café seating year-round. They add sheepskin blankets and heaters to the tables and people stay in their coats, enjoying their incredibly expensive coffees and conversation.
I was inspired by the amount of public art that exists everywhere. Where we put out a few fiberglass structures - pieces that definitely are showing the wear and tear of our weather - they use bronze and concrete, art materials that will stand the test of time and nature.
I met with Arts Council Norway, where I discovered that regardless of budget and staff size (theirs are huge), we struggle with some similar issues: reaching out to new citizen artists to help fund their native art forms, overcoming misperceptions about how grants are funded and more.
Norway, and the people I experienced it with, will linger long in my memory. The arts are a significant piece of what makes us human, a community and a society, and Norway showed me that the arts can and do marry seamlessly with technology, infrastructure and growth.
This trip also proved what I have long thought: when you bring an artist to the table, the arts get woven into all kinds of conversations and are seen as a legitimate piece of the solution, as valuable to the outcome as everything else.
Norway provided quite a table, and I am very grateful.

function in Haring River
...during the disastrous tidal surge floods of February 1953. As part of the Delta Plan for land reclamation and both Rhine and tidal flood protection, a dam with numerous sluices was completed at the Haring’s mouth in 1970. A large lock built as part of the Haring Dam allows the channel to remain open to shipping.


Australia have declared their intention to keep raising the bar on performances in this World Cup, going on from a lopsided opening victory over England to achieve perfection before the tournament is out.
As the hosts enjoyed the second of two days off in the surrounds of their Brisbane hotel on Tuesday, Mitchell Johnson borrowed from the rhetoric common around Australian teams during the incomparable era of 1995 to 2008, when winning bred confidence and more wins. The MCG victory made it eight ODI wins in succession – most of them under George Bailey’s captaincy – and the looming return of Michael Clarke is set to strengthen the XI further.
“It was a pretty short meeting after the game,” Johnson said of the coach Darren Lehmann’s post-match discussion in Melbourne. “But we can always get better at certain things, the thing was to not lose wickets so closely together and with the fielding we probably just dropped off towards the end. Throughout the whole match we did a lot of things that we wanted to and got the result that we wanted. We want to keep getting better throughout this tournament, we want to play perfect cricket.
“We’ve been playing very good one-day cricket for a while now. The guys’ confidence is up, the way we batted … we posted a good total, I think it was a bit better than par. But then we were able to go out there and perform with the ball, and the fielding through most of that innings was outstanding and that’s going to be a key through most of this tournament.
“I like having a few days off, it’s been good to get here and relax and enjoy a win against England. I know most of the boys were nervous before that game [but] plenty of energy when we got out into the field and you could probably see that from the sidelines. We get used to the temperature, the humidity and then get back into training for Saturday.”
Johnson was a spellbound spectator for much of Australia’s previous World Cup victory in 2007, a surplus component of a squad that sailed through undefeated and unchallenged in the Caribbean. Their greatest hold up to victory back then was the muddled interpretation of rain rules in the final at Kensington Oval in Barbados, delaying the march to the trophy for longer than any opponent.
“As players I guess you want to keep a winning side, but it’s up to the selectors,” Johnson said. “I remember in the West Indies being on the sidelines and watching, I was ready the whole time, I was doing everything I could to make sure I was ready if that opportunity arose so I think that’s what the guys need to do when they’re not in the playing 11.
“It’s always hard, you want to get out there and play in a World Cup especially when it’s at home, it would be an amazing feeling for those guys to play but you just have to make sure you’re prepared as much as you can be and if performances don’t come up to scratch there might be an opportunity. But at the moment, from my point of view you’re playing in a team that’s winning.


It's Obiously Satire

Several top Romney supporters implored his campaign to respond more fully to the Boston Globe/Bay Windows blogswarm. But Romney was in Asia when the news broke, and top members of his team were busy interviewing staff and slogging through hours-long planning meetings.
One early sign that Romney's communication team will help contain stories like these: Matt Drudge didn't touch it. . Drudge is friendly with Romney's communications director, Matt Rhoades, the former research director of the RNC. Draw conclusions on your own.I'm sure National Review Online and Drudge Report are expecting the advertising deals are delivered, unless you can think of something better....
Oh, Tommy Thompson is in, and tops Romney's support for gay marriage among humans with advocacy for transgendered deer.

text: Recent literature indicates a relationship between history of sexual abuse and subsequent psychological and social dysfunction. Less thoroughly examined are the possible abuse-related physical effects. This article examines the prevalence of sexual abuse among 135 chronic pain patients. History of abuse for all patients was determined during initial interview. Twenty-eight percent reported child sexual abuse, with history of victimization more significant for women (39%) than men (7%). The abused and nonabused groups of women differed on such variables as marital status, occupation, history of rape and substance abuse, and age of hospitalization. The relationship between sexual abuse and chronic somatic reactions was discussed.

7 Things: Schiff thinks he has Trump this time, Lowndes County Sheriff killed, parent complains about Thanksgiving plans for kindergartners and more …
7. Ginsburg hospitalized
- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was in the hospital over the weekend to be treated for a possible infection. It was released that she was taken to the hospital due to a high fever and chills.
- Ginsburg’s health complications are nothing new, as within the past year has been treated for cancer, including radiation treatments and surgery for lung cancer; earlier this month she was absent on November 13 for what was described as a stomach bug.
6. Bloomberg has entered the race
- On Sunday, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that he would be joining the already crowded field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates because he wants to “defeat Donald Trump and rebuild America.”
- It’s only 10 weeks until the first primary, but Bloomberg decided that this was the appropriate time to enter the race, reasoning, “We cannot afford four more years of President Trump’s reckless and unethical actions.” Bloomberg called Trump a “threat to our country and values” and ominously put that if Trump is reelected, “we may never recover from the damage.”
5. CNN and the Daily Beast are getting sued
- While appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures,” U.S. Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA) reaffirmed his threat to sue CNN and the Daily Beast for a piece they both posted claiming that Nunes met with Viktor Shokin, a Ukrainian prosecutor, to advocate for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
- Nunes said that this is just “another fake news story” and confirmed that he hopes to take CNN and the Daily Beast “into federal court, right after Thanksgiving.” Later in the interview, he again said that he hopes the organizations “will cooperate with the court.” He added, “They should comply with the subpoenas once we file this and go through different depositions. It should be fun.”
4. Sessions knows he can do the job well
- Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions appeared on Alabama Public Television’s “Capitol Journal,” where he emphasized that he’s the best candidate and how strong he is as a candidate when it comes to Trump’s agenda.
- Sessions said that he’s “confident” he can “advocate for “President Trump’s agenda” the best, mentioning how he was with Trump all throughout his 2016 candidacy and campaigns. Sessions also stated that his opponents “are talking today how strong they were” during Trump’s candidacy, “but maybe not when it counted.”
3. Madison County mom has complained of a racist school activity
- At Central School, a Madison County elementary school, a “powwow” was planned for this week just before Thanksgiving, and students were told to “dress in Native American attire,” but Apryl Arthurs took issue with the event, saying that “dressing up as a stereotype of a culture is racist.”
- Arthurs is a member of the Mohawk tribe, and she said that the attire is still wrong “Even if no one has spoken up before now.” School principal Alex Hughes wrote a letter to Arthurs stating that there’s “no evidence that there is any level of racism in this activity.” District spokesperson Tim Hall said that “adjustments” have been made to ensure the programs “are culturally sensitive,” but Arthurs has filed a complaint with the ACLU.
2. Lowndes County Sheriff killed in the line of duty
- John “Big John” Williams, Lowndes County Sheriff, was on duty on Saturday night when he was shot and killed. Governor Kay Ivey released a statement where she mentioned Williams’ U.S. Marine Corps service and his career in law enforcement, mentioning that “he dedicated his life to law enforcement.”
- Williams was elected sheriff in 2010 and reelected in 2014 and 2018. Attorney General Steve Marshall said in a statement that Williams “gave more than 40 years to public safety in his home country.” The suspect who shot Williams has been arrested and is in custody.
1. I guess this is where they finally get Trump
- House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “the case in terms of the Ukraine misconduct is ironclad” against President Donald Trump, adding “so is the case of the president’s obstruction of the Congress.”
- Despite Schiff believing that Trump is guilty and their case against him is “ironclad,” when asked if Trump should be impeached, Schiff deflected and said he doesn’t want to make “final judgment” until he discusses the issue with his “constituents and colleagues.” Schiff also seems to believe America is behind him, even though this seems to be completely untrue.

Good morning! I am making a cake for my MIL's birthday today and she wants yellow cake with raspberry mousse filling and chocolate icing. I was thinking of ways to make it over the top and nice looking, and thought about putting some raspberry filling (not the mousse filling) on the top outside of the cake, like in the center after piping on the border. Any thoughts on this? Think it would be too sweet in addition to the icing or just over- the-top good? It looks pretty in my mind, but wanted to see what others thought. I have some fresh raspberries I plan to "pile" in the center on top of the filling and may be a few chocolate chips. Thanks for any tips or thoughts! :) Have a happy weekend!
AI think the combo would taste awesome and the cake that way would look very pretty. If it were me, I would make not "filling" on top but a Raspberry Mirror Glaze, so it looks super shiny, like the top of a cheesecake ;)


Morris, Adams to be sentenced Monday
Former Okaloosa County Sheriff Charlie Morris, who tearfully pleaded no contest to state charges of racketeering and money laundering on Feb. 4, 2010, finally will be sentenced Monday for those crimes.
Teresa Adams, the Sheriff’s Office’s administrative director under Morris, will be sentenced with him for the same charges.
A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for 3 p.m. at the Escambia County Courthouse in Pensacola before Circuit Judge Linda Nobles.
State guidelines call for a sentence of more than six years for each.
Nobles could rule either to impose jail or prison time on top of what Morris and Adams already have received in federal court or to allow their state and federal sentences to run concurrently.
“I pray each day that Judge Nobles will give me a concurrent sentence to run with my federal time,” Morris said in a letter he sent recently to current Sheriff Larry Ashley.
The FBI arrested Morris and Adams on Feb. 27, 2009, after the unraveling of an employee bonus kickback scheme they had concocted three years earlier.
Both pleaded guilty to fraud, theft and money laundering charges within several months of their arrest.
Morris is presently serving a 71-month federal prison sentence to be followed by three years probation.
In his letter to Ashley, he wrote that he hopes to be released by May 2014.
Adams was sentenced in September 2009 to 36 months in federal prison. She completed her federal sentence earlier this year but remains on a three-year supervised probation.
The state charges were filed in July 2009. Morris and Adams, along with Sheriff’s Office employees Mike Coup, David Yacks and Sandra Norris were charged with racketeering. Sabra Thornton, Morris’ chief of staff and mistress, was charged with grand theft.
At the time Morris and Adams entered their state court pleas, State Attorney Bill Eddins said he favored tacking on at least some time to be served after their federal prison sentences had ended.
“We intend to ask that he receive some jail time consecutive to the federal time,” he said in 2010 after Morris entered his plea.
Thornton had just been tried when the pleas were entered in state court. Morris and Adams testified for the prosecution in the case.
Morris and Adams since then have served as prosecution witnesses at the trials of Coup, Norris and Yacks.
Morris also testified last month against Randall Holcombe, his former assistant director of administrative services, who was the last to be charged in connection with the kickback scheme.
Russ Edgar, who prosecuted all of the cases, referred to Morris during Holcombe’s trial as “a beaten man.”
Edgar said that he’s not sure he’ll present a sentencing recommendation to Nobles on Monday.
“I might just allow the judge to decide a sentence,” he said. “I’ll see what he (Morris) has to say for himself.”
Morris’ attorney, Ken Ridlehoover, said of his client: “I think he’s been punished enough.
“I’m sure there are a lot of people who don’t think that, but he’s serving 71 months with three years probation,” Ridlehoover said. “Charlie Morris has lost everything.”
Barry Beroset, Adams’ attorney, had no comment on the sentencing hearing.
Ridlehoover said Morris “would tell you” he wasn’t mentally fit to serve as sheriff during his last term in office.
“He was out of control. He got the big head,” he said.
In his letter to Ashley, Morris offered to forgive the new sheriff for “turning me in to the federal authorities.”
“I hold no ill will or malice toward you or anyone else at the Sheriff’s Office,” the letter said.
“What you did was right and it will always be the right decision. I forgive you and all the others and the past is the past,” it said.
Morris also wrote: “I have spent the last three years finding out what went wrong with me and caused me to totally destroy a stellar career that I had worked so hard over 34 years to build.”
He said he is rebuilding his life “with the help of many great professionals and people of faith.”
Morris also told Ashley he is power walking 50 miles a week and has lost 55 pounds.
“I am now the person I should have been all along and not the arrogant, self-centered jerk I was before all this happened,” the letter said.
“It is time to move forward.”

The Top Amazing Fashion Moments in Film
There are a number of iconic moments in the history of the big screen. Movies influence people in a number of ways including what they wear. There are some movie fashions that will not fade away no matter how much time passes.
- Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s
This movie still has a strong following. Audrey steps out of the taxi and starts to walk into Tiffany’s when she meets her lover. She met Givenchy on the set and they also worked on Sabrina together in 1954. The couple had a partnership that lasted on and off the screen for a lifetime. This Hollywood movie set new standards for style and design on screen. Since this movie Hollywood sets had to step it up in order to capture the attention of fans.
- Marilyn Monroe, The Misfits
While many people think of Marilyn and her floating white dress this movie set some trends in Hollywood. In this movie Marilyn was the first female actress to be able to wear a pair of jeans in a movie. They were Levi;s at that. This put the end to females in high waisted jeans. Now women copying the classic fit with the white shirt tucked into the jeans. Thanks to Marilyn jeans became acceptable in the movies and for women all over the country.
- Diane Keaton, Annie Hall
Diane Keaton was the fashion icon of 1977. She started a huge fashion trend. Forty years later people still want to get the style of the character Annie. The waistcoat, high waisted pants, ties, and bowler hats were in then and they are in now. Diane was able to make this look good. She wanted to be a cool looking woman and this movie allowed her to do so.
- Sean Young, Blade Runner
Sean got the attention of the audience in a big way. The backdrop of this movie was set in Los Angeles and Sean had the style. She had rolled fringes and shoulder pads with a floor length fur coat. She was one of the first women to be crushed on by other women with her cool style.
- Mia Farrow in The Great Gatsby
Mia has great style and this movie was able to capture it. The costumes look like something out of a dream and brought the style of jazz to the big screen. Mia was able to pull off the look flawlessly. The movie even won an Academy Award for Best Costume Design.
- Keira Knightley in Atonement
Keira had a beautiful green gown that looked like it came from the 1930s. Jacqueline Durran designed the grown and it has been voted on by those in the industry to be one of the best costumes of all time. The fabric is breathtaking and the cut fit Keira perfectly.
- Vivien Leigh, Gone with the Wind
This classic movie featured hoop skirts that went down to the ankles and Vivian made this an iconic look. Walter Plunkett was the costume designer for this movie and has worked on other hits including An American in Paris and Singin in the Rain. He spend a lot of time researching designs for this movie and worked hard to find the perfect one. He has designed over 5,000 clothing items for over 50 main movie characters and 100 movie extras.

The Guardian reporting fake honey
There was an article on The Guardian last week, reporting that a lot of honey across the UK and Europe contains sugar syrup. Understandably, our customers are concerned about this and expect better!
We created Just Bee to be a little different from the major honey companies. We were tired by the endless reports of fake honey, dubious practices and honey that tasted like syrup. So we set out to make the best tasting and highest quality honey products that have a positive impact on bees, the people we deal with and the wider environment too.
It all starts with the honey. Before sending anything out, we make sure it meets a strict Just Bee specification. This includes taste, consistency, provenance and some fancy technical parameters. We thoroughly check all our suppliers to ensure we are receiving the highest quality ingredients. We look for accreditations, high food safety standards, and of course nice people to work with :-).
A series of tests are performed on our honey to ensure it meets the Just Bee criteria. We are testing for the freshness of the honey, its authenticity (i.e. no sugar syrup), the consistency, the vitamin levels and the antibacterial levels. Yes, that’s a lot of tests, but we take our honey very seriously and want to make sure you are getting the best quality product!
Every new batch of honey is taste tested by our founder Joe before approving it – it’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it! We are looking for honey that is a light amber colour, has a medium strength and sweetness and a profile which balances well with our active ingredients. Most of our products use a blend of wildflower and acacia honey. Wildflower honey means the bees have foraged on a variety of flowers, blossoms and other plants. This gives a rich flavour which is consistent all year round. Acacia honey is a lighter honey, which adds sweeter notes.
Hopefully this statement provides reassurance to our customers, and we will continue to be ultra vigilant in sourcing our honey.

Today, the network has opted to give Mixed-ish a full 22-episode season alongside the established Black-ish, whereas The Rookie will have 20 episodes and Stumptown will have a full season — the specific episode order there is still underway.
In a statement confirming this news, here is what ABC programming head Karey Burke had to say on the subject:
“This fall, Stumptown has delivered a rich, inventive and fun thrill ride each week with a stellar cast that features one of the most fearless female characters at the center; mixed-ish has established itself as one of the sharpest, funniest and most original new comedies of the season; and The Rookie has continued to bring compelling storytelling and powerful performances to its passionate and loyal fan base. Thanks to the brilliant creative teams behind these series, along with the phenomenal casts and crews, for delivering three incredibly entertaining and distinctive shows. We’re so proud of this great crop of shows that are all off to strong starts this fall, and we can’t wait to bring more fantastic episodes to our schedule this season.”
So why did The Rookie, a show in its second season, fail to get a full-order order from the get-go? It’s an unusual move, and we feel like it had to mostly with only so-so season 1 ratings and a move to Sunday nights — the 10:00 p.m. timeslot has shown to be horrible for a lot of other ABC shows over the years. Yet, The Rookie is at least faring okay.
Meanwhile, Stumptown has excelled when it comes to DVR viewing, making it one of the bigger success stories of the fall when it comes to that alone. Obviously, a network would rather have viewers watching their shows live, but it’s better to have some viewers than none at all.
For those wondering about the status of fellow new drama Emergence, note that it was never meant to be anything more than a 13-episode series given its mystery and serialized nature. There is a chance still for more episodes, but nothing is confirmed at this very moment.
What do you think about this news for The Rookie, Stumptown, and Mixed-ish?
Be sure to share right now in the comments, and remember now to stick around to get some other news all about the subject. (Photo: ABC.)

Abu Dhabi Airports has partnered with Pure Health and Tamouh Healthcare to launch the region’s first PCR testing laboratory at an airport.
The new state-of-the-art RT-PCR lab offers fast COVID-19 testing within the Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) to facilitate the resumption of air travel and assist with quarantine tracking procedures.
Built with the welfare of travellers and staff at AUH in mind, the new Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) testing process is free for arriving passengers and is one of the fastest in the world, with results available in approximately 90 minutes. It has the capacity to test more than 20,000 travellers and staff per day.
All passengers arriving at Abu Dhabi International Airport through both terminals 1 and 3 will be tested at the AUH PCR testing facility. Results of the COVID-19 tests will be shared by SMS and WhatsApp, as well as being available on the Alhosn mobile application.
Passengers who receive a negative PCR test and are from the list of ‘green’ countries, outlined by the government of Abu Dhabi, will not have to self-isolate. Those not from the list of ‘green’ countries will have to self-isolate for a period of 10 days and will require a quarantine wristband fitted at the PCR testing tent attached to the airport.
Participants in the National Vaccination Programme and Phase III clinical trials who have an identification mark (letter E or golden star) on Al Hosn app are exempted from self-quarantine procedures. Passengers transiting through the airport will not be tested prior to departing for their final destinations.

The New York Times Style Magazine published an article called In Praise of an Aggressively Unfashionable Shoe. It’s all about Dansko clogs. Did you get a chance to read it? It’s a funny little article, but made me do a second take, because I don’t think Dansko clogs are unfashionable at all, and certainly not aggressively unfashionable. In fact, I feel like clogs in general are definitely having a fashion moment right now.
What’s your take? Do you like the look? Do you own a pair of clogs? Have you ever worn a pair of the classic Dansko Professional Clogs for work? When you see these clogs, does a picture of a certain woman in your life come to mind? Do you put them in the aggressively unfashionable category?
Here are a few of my top faves in the current line of Dansko Shoes:
1. The Professional Clog, according to the article you can’t go wrong here.
2. Rain Boot Clog! Perfect for all the rain right now.
3. A fun splash of color for spring, I love a surprise color on your feet.
4. Classic boot, never a bad idea.
5. I favor a larger heel that has a comfort promise attached to it. This looks like a great Spring/Fall staple.
6. Classic summer sandal, I’m sure would go with everything.
7. I’m in love with these metallic colors. I can see wearing them with jeans all summer.

The Securities and Exchange Commission will announce proprietary trading information and adjust the final settlement price of VN30 futures contract to stabilize the market after plunging sessions.
The State Securities Commission together with Vietnam Stock Exchange (VNX) have just had a meeting with HoSE, HNX, Securities Depository Center (VSD) and 23 securities companies to find solutions to stabilize the market. stocks, after a series of recent declines.
Management agencies and market members are of the same opinion, Vietnam market’s decline mainly comes from the downward trend of the world market and a number of domestic reasons. To support the market, the Securities Commission proposed and approved by the Ministry of Finance a number of short-term solutions.
Accordingly, the Committee will assign VNX to direct HNX and HoSE to issue warnings and request listed companies to disclose information when stocks show signs of increasing or decreasing at ceiling or floor prices from 5-10 sessions. At the same time, the regulator said it would disclose information about the securities company’s proprietary trading transactions.
Previously, from the beginning of March, information on the trading of securities companies’ proprietary trading department, one of the indicators of investment trends in the market, was stopped.
Proprietary trading is an activity where a securities company acts as an investor in the market. The net buying or selling of this group is noticed by the market because it reflects the change of short-term expectations, which has a great impact on supply – demand.
This information is provided by Exchanges but is not made public to investors but is sold in separate service packages to data service providers. Investors access this information by purchasing accounts from providers.
According to a representative of HoSE, at that time, stopping providing proprietary trading information “doesn’t affect the issue of information disclosure” because it only provided service packages for some customers. The Department also said that this suspension is to serve the review and development of new products.
Along with that, in order to limit the possibility of impact from the derivatives market, the Committee approved for VSD to issue regulations on margin, clearing and settlement of derivative securities. In which, a new point is to adjust the final settlement price of the VN30 index futures contract.
The final settlement price will be the simple arithmetic average of VN30-Index in the last 30 minutes of the expiration date, including 15 minutes of continuous order matching and 15 minutes of periodic closing, after having been closed. excluding the three highest index values and the three lowest index values of the continuous matching session. According to the previous regulations, the settlement price only takes the value of VN30 index at the closing periodic order matching session.
Talking more about the market recently, the leader of the Securities Commission said that in the context of market volatility, the regulator is giving special priority to many short-term solutions to stabilize the market.
The management agency also said that it will continue to closely monitor developments in the economic – political situation, policy moves of countries around the world, assess the impact and influence on the Vietnamese market in order to promptly take action. appropriate solutions to ensure a stable and transparent market development.

VISUAL OF THE WEEK
From Mr Dylan’s bonkers film noir for “The Night We Called It A Day”.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT IN THE FIELD
Tim uses my ticket to a Guardian screening of Midlake: Live in Denton as I wasn’t around, and files this report: “The film was a bit disappointing. Everything was shot handheld, going in and out of focus, etc, which gave it the look of a home movie. The hometown footage, randomly scattered throughout the concert, added to the home-movie vibe, shots of band members and friends having a barbecue, walking around town, etc. Denton came across as more normal – population 120,000, two universities – than quirky and the band seemed very sincere but not especially interesting musicians. Knowing nothing of their music, I didn’t hear any lyric or riff that caught my imagination. That said, the Q&A with lead singer Eric Pulido was enjoyable. He came across as very honest, open and, yes, sincere. It says something about the changing face of rock ’n’ roll, though, when you hear a musician discuss his work/life balance, reveal that he sits on his hometown’s historic buildings commission and say that he is currently listening to a lot of ELO, Supertramp and Wings…”
MISTER DYNAMITE: THE RISE OF JAMES BROWN
An excellent example of building a documentary by getting all of the blocks in place: great interviews with people who were there, or who had specific musical points to make, and fantastic source films (whether home videos, tv shows, news broadcasts or features). But most importantly of all, the confidence to not cut flashily away from incredible footage of the songs themselves – to let the groove run long enough to mesmerize the viewer, and reveal the musical heart of the story.
There was so much here. No matter how many times you’ve seen the TAMI show footage it still staggers. This was Brown’s breakthrough moment, thrust before a huge white audience, beside The Stones, The Beach Boys and Gerry & The Pacemakers, among others. As his ‘Cape Man’ Mr Ray, says, “He come out there like a shot out of a gun, man, dancin’ all across the stage. It’s kinda hard to beat, when you’re an artist that can sing and dance”. Mr Ray then gets his moment, flinging the cape over Brown’s shoulders as he mimes collapsing from sheer fervour – as Mick Jagger (in a very funny interview) says, “It’s obviously an act, but you worry about him!”
Following the smash and grab of “Outasite!” and turning up the emotional volume with “Please Please Please”, the band prepare to go into “Night Train”. Drummer Melvin Parker’s eyes smile as he remembers that moment. “Sam the bass player whispers in my ear, says ‘Melvin, let’s see if those guys can keep up with this…’ and it’s Night! Night! Train!” He mimes smashing down his stick on the snare – “It was off to the races!” They then proceed to play it at a sensational tempo, but James and his three back-up boys look like there’s nothing they’d rather be doing. The fluid glide of the camera moves back across the stage with Brown as he does the push-ups, the astonishing Ali-like shuffle, the dervish splits, and catches his grin of satisfaction as he saunters off the stage, his work done.
“TOO WHITE TO BE BLACK, TOO BLACK TO BE WHITE”: GARLAND JEFFREYS AT THE MUSICIAN, LEICESTER
It’s dark in the mean streets of Leicester’s industrial quarter, and I was glad when I saw a light, a single point surrounded by the hulks of abandoned buildings. It’s the front window of the Musician, a tiny club. Great. This is where you want to connect with a gloriously rootsy r&b/rock band: pretty much one long room, a bunch of die hard fans, a compact stage – and on it a group of people who really, really know what they’re doing. This is a band who sound as muscular and dense and driving as you’d want, without sacrificing any detail. They’re locked in tight, Charly Roth’s keys answering Mark Bosch’s guitar as the bass and drums (Brian Stanley and Tom Curiano) lock like Al Jackson and Duck Dunn. When they left us with a tribute to his Syracuse University student friend Lou, they played “I’m Waiting for The Man” with a perfect lowdown Memphis undertow. The sound is terrific, better than one has a right to expect of a whistlestop date following a visit to Scotland the night before. On Facebook, Robert Maddock reported that “Malc the soundman has been there forever, and he said it was the best performance he had ever witnessed at the Musician.”
There was an elegance, a finesse to what they were doing, even as they thundered through “Til John Lee Hooker Calls Me”, dizzying blues licks spinning from Mark Bosch’s guitar over the song’s Junior Parker chassis, making the recorded version sound polite. There was the easy familiarity of music loved for a long time and played with friends – I have no idea if it was, but that’s what it sounded like to me. A good guide for a gig is how often the musicians smile at each other, over small mistakes or turnarounds they pull off dead on time. And Garland’s band were smiling a lot. In ways, it had the feeling of the early E Street Band, a lot of passion and humour in the music, rooted in r&b but with rock and latin seeping in. It was that New York brew of “Spanish Harlem” and “Stand By Me’, added to the Doo-Wop of Frankie Lymon and the street corner bands, with a side order of VU.
The best thing is that the songs are properly rooted – songs, as my friend Michael would say, “that sound like they’re from somewhere”. Often they’re reportage from his life: the centerpiece of the set was a chilling “Mystery Kids”, about his fearful wait for his father to arrive home, that I can’t do justice to now.* “Coney Island Winter”, “It’s What I Am”, “Roller Coaster Town” – each one great. And from someone who’s had a career as long as his, in a business that is rarely easy, there’s not a trace of cynicism about Garland Jeffreys. He warmly talks to locals who he apparently knows from a transplanted-to-New-York musician, and asks after their grandkids. It’s something to see.
The audience (all 85 of us) raise the roof and there’s much glad-handing and back slapping. I moved off into the night, the songs running around my head as I got lost in the circles of the centre, passing empty office blocks with hoardings promising a new dawn of luxury apartments with gyms and saunas and twenty-four hour concierge services. In my head I was still standing on Coney Island, twenty two blocks from the city…
More next week. Oh, and I’d also like to thank bassist Brian Stanley for a fascinating conversation that covered NY musicians, Late Night Show bands, Real Estate and Michael Jackson’s drummers.
AND ON THE PLAYLIST THIS WEEK…
Having watched the making of Aja a few weeks ago, I’m surprised to see The Bloomsbury Theatre lists an afternoon chat with its producer Gary Katz. So I’ve spent some time listing to The Royal Scam (not least for Paul Griffin’s amazing piano playing on “Sign In Stranger”). Here’s the tracking session for that song, which runs a little slow, and also the track for “Kid Charlemagne”, before overdubbing. The line-up is (approximately) Bernard Purdie on drums, Chuck Rainey on bass, Larry Carlton and Walter Becker on guitars, Don Grolnick on Fender Rhodes, Paul Griffin on Clavinet (KC) and piano (SIS).
