Police Open House and Ribbon Cutting on December 13
On December 13, 2022, from 6:00 – 7:30pm, the community is invited to a ribbon cutting and open house to celebrate the expansion and remodel of the Frisco Police Department, located in Frisco Town Hall at 1 Main Street. The ribbon cutting and open house event will feature light appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages, along with tours of the remodeled and expanded space.
"We wanted to ensure that this space supported excellence and professionalism and more accurately reflected the appreciation we have for our police staff. For example- before this, we had a kitchen space without a sink or running water. This remodel and expansion mean that not only can officers grab a quick bite to eat in an efficient and modern kitchen space, but they also have interview spaces and individual computer stations that support the effort, integrity, and respect for community that they bring to their profession every day," stated Police Chief Tom Wickman.
Background and Scope
On March 8, 2022, Frisco Town Council approved a contract with MW Golden Constructors for the remodel of the Police Department at a cost not to exceed $1,576,791. The Frisco Police Department offices were last remodeled 22 years ago in 2000. Due to the extensive growth that Frisco and Summit County have experienced, the department had outgrown their current space and needed a remodel and an expansion to enable them to better utilize their existing space and move into a space in town hall that has been used for storage in the past.
This remodel and expansion, which began in May 2022, is intended to provide more a suitable facility to accommodate police operations, which will better serve the community and aid in the recruitment and retention of officers. The project was anticipated to take seven and a half months to complete and has reached significant completion in that timeline.
Overview of Project Scope
Remodel and expansion of the existing squad room so it can better serve current operations and act as a backup to the Summit County Emergency Operations Center, which is located at County Commons
The addition of a fully functional kitchen
Updated HVAC systems
Construction of male and female sleeping areas to provide officers who travel from the Front Range and other areas a place to stay during inclement weather, for court appearances, and when there is a tight shift turnover
The addition of fully functional male and female locker rooms

Case Analysis: Supreme Court Declares Triple Talaq Unconstitutional by Manu Sharma

5) THE JUDGEMENT
"Can something found to be sinful by god be validated by men through law?" And if god considers it a sin it can't be legal, can it be? These were among the weighty questions posed by the Apex Court while declaring the Muslim divorce through triple talaq unconstitutional on August 22, 2017. By way of triple talaq Muslim men could divorce their wives instantly and without state intervention by simply pronouncing talaq, talaq, talaq. The case had been brought before the court by the petitioner Atiya Sabri and other women who had been divorced by the way of triple talaq. Different Muslim women's right activist and organization have played an active role in calling for reforms of Muslim personal law, thereby forming part of broader Islamic feminist movements. On the outcome, the bench was split into 3:2.Though the three judges in the majority held triple talaq invalid, but different reasoning has been propounded to arrive at their conclusion. Justices U.U Lalit and R. Nariman held that the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937, in so far as it refers to triple talaq is voilative of Article14 of the Indian constitution- the right to equality, while Justice Kurian Joseph argued that triple talaq was not a valid practice in Islam and was therefore illegal. The minority view, held by Chief Justice J.S Khehar and Justice Abdul Nazeer, was that though triple talaq was undesired, the courts have no authority to strike it down as only the parliament is constitutionally entitled to regulate such matters. The judgement is a landmark one in the Indian women's movements agitating for equal rights under religion based personal laws. However, at the same time, unfortunately the aspect of gender equality did not play such a considerable role in the argumentation as it could have, and the judgment does not provide any clear road map for dealing with other discriminatory issues in the personal law system in the future.
BACKGROUND OF THE CASE
'Of all the permitted things Divorce is the most abominable with the God'- it is said in hadith (Prophet's saying). In Islam, marriage is a contractual relationship between a man and a woman. It gets completed when both the parties pronounce "Qubool Hai, Qubool Hai, Qubool Hai", then why it gets dissolved when only the husband pronounces "talaq, talaq, talaq". India is a democratic nation where all the subjects are guaranteed the protection of equal rights, while holding the flag aloft of being a secular state. However underneath all the rosy claims, lies the cruel reality of discriminatory and tyrannical personal laws which tear apart the very foundation of equality in our constitution. The case at hand brought together five writ petition filed by Muslim women who had been divorced by way of triple talaq. The petitioner Atiya Sabri is one of the five women who petitioned the Supreme Court challenging the practice of instant triple talaq. Married in 2012, she was also divorced by her husband when he wrote talaq, talaq, talaq on a piece of paper. Muslims women's groups like Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA) and Bebak Collective supported the petitioners while organization like All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) acted as a key player in defending the practice of triple talaq. The court directed the filing of a PIL case, entitled In Re: Muslim Women's Quest For Equality v. Jamiat Ulma-I-Hind, SMW(C) No. 2/2015.The deliberative decision to form a bench consisting of judges belonging to different religious communities was constituted to avoid the mistake the made in Shah Bano[1]and possibly to signal the Muslim community that their concerns were being taken seriously and the case would be looked at in the most objective manner.
The main contention of the petitioner and others were mainly based on the argument that triple talaq violated fundamental rights, namely Articles 14, 15 and 21. Reference was made to Masilamani Mudaliar[2] as well as other cases[3] in which the Apex Court has tested the personal laws on the touchstone of fundamental rights, it was opined that Muslim personal law should be considered as 'law in force' within the meaning of Article 13(1). It was argued that, triple talaq was arbitrary and discriminatory and thus it is the court's primary duty to intervene in cases of violation of one's fundamental rights and to render justice as upheld in landmark Kesavananda Bharti[4]and Minerva Mills[5]case. This was even more so in cases where parliament is reluctant in carrying out its duty –presumably due to political considerations. It was further held that the constitution's provisions on religious freedom did not in any manner impair the jurisdiction of the court. Article 25 postulated that religious freedom was subject to other provisions in part III. And hence triple talaq was in fact not even protected by article 25 as it would not form an 'essential practice' in Islam.
Additionally, the argumentation also relied upon the international conventions and treaties to which India is a party, such as 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)', 'International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR)' and 'The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the respective references to gender equality therein. Beyond that, it was held that triple talaq was not in tune with the prevailing conditions of the society. It was also contended that it should be abolished in the same way as the state had done away with the practices once prevalent in the Hindu religion, such as Sati, Devdasi and polygamy. The fact that a number of countries, including the theocratic state and countries with large Muslim majorities, had prohibited triple talaq showed not only the capability of state to interfere in personal law, but the paradox that Muslim women in secular country like India enjoy lesser rights than those of Islamic states.
The rebuttal of the petitioner's contention drew upon Narasu Appa Mali[6] and Ahmed Women Action Group[7] and held that courts cannot go into the question of constitutionality of personal laws. Other countries too have banned triple talaq through legislative acts only. Further it was opined that the practice of triple talaq has been practised for about 1400 years and thus a part and parcel of the personal law, hence protected under Article 25. Respondent also argued the as Muslim marriage is a social contract, the individual muslim couples were free to declare triple talaq invalid in their marriage contract or opt to be governed under the secular Special Marriage Act, 1954 and hence could decide for themselves whether or not triple talaq would be valid in their case. Generally, it was held that social reforms with reference to personal laws should emerge from the concerned community itself without any interference of courts. The Indian state had followed the policy of non- interference in the affairs of personal laws. As a part of this policy, India had also expressed clear reservations in regard to the mentioned international conventions, which was why the provisions of International law were not applicable in this case.
MUSLIM PERSONAL LAW IN INDIA
Personal laws per se are an ancient phenomenon and its present form has been shaped considerably during the colonial rule .When in 1949, we enacted Article 44 of the constitution directing that the "State shall endeavour to secure for the citizens a uniform civil Code throughout the territory of India", we already had uniform Codes of Laws covering almost every aspect of legal relationship excepting only those in which we were governed by the various personal laws. As Ambedkar observed during the debates in the Constituent Assembly[8] on the draft Article 35 (subsequently enacted as Article 44), the only province which was not covered by any uniform code was Marriage and Succession. Though referred expressedly as constituting the zone uncovered by any uniform code, it is obvious that discussions meant not only Marriage and Succession simpliciter,but all those matter in respect of which we were (and still are)governed by our personal law.
Talking particularly about Muslim personal laws it would be relevant to record, the key legislation in the case at hand is the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937 (hereinafter referred to, as Shariat Act) which was enacted to negate the adverse effects of customary laws on the rights of muslim women. Section 2 of this Act declares the rule of decision in cases where are parties are Muslim shall be the Muslim Personal Law (Shariat), negating "customs and usages". The Act specifically refers to provisions of Personal Law, marriage, dissolution of marriage including talaq.
More than a century ago, the Privy Council observes in Moonshee Buzloor Ruheem v.Shumsoonnissa Begum[9] that "the matrimonial law of the Mahomedans, like that of every ancient community, favours the stronger sex" where the husband can dissolve the tie at his will". According to Islamic concept matrimonial alliance is a sort of social contract, and it can be dissolved when it ceases to serve its purpose. Hence different modes of divorce are provided both at husband's and wife's initiative in Muslim personal law. While the Quran itself only refers to divorce to a limited extent, it is Islamic legal scholars who has categorised the modes of divorce more clearly. When dissolution of marriage tie proceeds from the husband it is called talaq and three different modes of this form of divorce are usually distinguished: Talaq-e-ahsan, Talaq-e-hasan, and the one discussed here, Talaq-e-biddat/badai or triple talaq. Other than in the former two forms of talaq (in which a defined time period lies between the first pronouncement of talaq and the point at which the divorce becomes effective), triple talaq refers to three pronouncements of the word talaq in one sitting: it is effective forthwith and irrevocable. It is considered to be most sinful, innovated form of divorce as it is against the letter and spirit of Quran and was disallowed by the Prophet himself .As rightly pointed by the apex court in Zohara Khatoon[10], under the Muslim Law, the commonest form of divorce is the unilateral declaration of pronouncement of divorce of the wife by the husband. Also a divorce given unilaterally with immediate effectiveness by the husband is especially peculiar to Muslim law and that in no other law has the husband got a unilateral right to divorce his wife by simple declaration. Notably, triple talaq is not acknowledged by all Muslims. Shia Muslims and some schools among the Sunni Muslims do not recognise it, while the Hanafi sect of Sunni Muslims prominently does. With modern technology, there have been instances where wives have been divorced through triple talaq being pronounced over mobile phones, Whatsapp, Facebook, Skype etc. which grossly infringe the rights of Muslim women and posed a serious question on the claims of gender equality leading to widespread controversies around the validity of personal laws.
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PERSONAL LAWS
With regard to the constitutionality of religion-based personal laws in general and triple talaq in particular, a number of constitutional provisions play a role. Firstly, the preamble of Indian Constitution defines India as a secular state and as the Apex Court has held that the character of Indian republic being secular, it is part of the 'basic structure' of the constitution.[11] Other than, for instance the American understanding of secularism is a strict divide between the church and state, while the Indian notion is generally understood as one of equal protection of all the religions and sects. Notably the existence of different personal laws for different religious communities does not conflict per se with the principles of secularism. Nor is the call for a uniform civil code in Article 44 in conflict with the existence of personal laws. On the one hand, the provision leaves open whether such a UCC would actually replace or simply complement the personal laws. On the other hand, contrary to fundamental rights in Part III of the constitution, directive principles in Part IV such as Article 44 is not enforceable by the court. The directive principles neither create any rights in favour of individuals, nor can a law be declared unconstitutional on sole ground that it contravenes directive principles.
However, here things became a little more interesting – All laws in force in the territory of India immediately before commencement of constitution which are inconsistent with the provisions of Part III i.e. (fundamental rights) shall be void to the extent of such inconsistency[12]. The fundamental rights includes right to equality[13], prohibition of discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or palace of birth[14] as well as right to life which is interpretated in a broad sense as including personal liberty and the right to live with human dignity[15].Interestingly, in 1952 in case of State of Bombay v. Narasu Appa Mali[16], the Bombay High Court decided upon the question of "whether the personal laws applicable to Hindus and Muslims are 'laws in force' within the meaning of Article 13(1) of the constitution. The court held that the (uncodified) personal laws were not laws in force within the meaning of Article 13(1). Consequently the court stated that (uncodified) personal laws were not void even when they came into conflict with the provisions of equality. A two judge bench of the Supreme Court in Krishna Singh v. Mathura Ahir[17] ruled that "Part III of the constitution does not touch upon the personal laws of the parties. Contrastingly it has been held by the apex court in a series of decision viz., Sant Ram v. Labh Singh[18] , Builders Supply Corporation v Union of India[19] that the expression "law in force" includes not only enactments of the Indian legislatures but the entire gamut of common law of land which was being administered by the courts. The Federal court also, in United Provinces v. Atique Begum[20] while construing the analogous expression 'law in force' in section 292 of the Government of India Act, 1935, observed that the expression "applies not only to statutory enactments then in force, but to all laws, including even personal laws, customary laws and case laws". It appears that the learned judges in Narasu Appa Mali[21] signally failed to notice the decision of Federal Court which was obviously binding on them. While the Indian Supreme Court has never directly overruled this judgment, it did in an obiter dictum in the Masilamani Mudaliar[22]case in 1996 articulated an opposing viewpoint by stating: the personal laws conferring inferior status on women is anathema to equality. As they are derived from the religious scriptures they must be consistent with the constitution lest they become void under Article 13 if they violated the fundamental rights.
On the other hand, the constitution also guaranteed the right to freedom of religion[23], which includes freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propaganda of religion but is to subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this part[24]. Article 25(2) further states that "nothing in this article shall effect the operation of any existing law or prevent the state from making any law. According to Indian jurisprudence, only "essential religious practice" is protected under Article 25[25].Whether or not triple talaq constitutes such an essential religious practice was a central question in the case at hand.
Lately, Supreme Court has been rather reluctant in positioning itself vis-à-vis the personal laws. In particular against the backdrop of the court's power of judicial review and its reputation as an independent and activist court, it was noticeable that with regard to personal laws, the apex court practiced a "hands off approach". Often it refrained from taking a decision by referring the subject to be dealt under the domain of legislative subject. In some of the cases where the court did take a position –most prominently in the landmark Shah Bano case[26], it has been criticized for drawing on anti-Muslim stereotypes, rather than engaging with the issue of gender equality. As well as the fact that in the specific case, five Hindu judges made an attempt to interpret Muslim personal law, the language the judgement used was heavily crtiticised and perceived as an attack on the Muslim community.
This critique however, should not undermine the fact that some positive development in the jurisdiction on personal laws has been seen too. Specifically, with regard to triple talaq, judiciary though slowly but steadily fostered the rights of Muslim women. There has been shift in the understanding of the courts from considering "the whimsical and capricious divorce by the husband good n law, though bad in theology" towards testing the divorce practice against a strict set of standards. The Gauhati High Court[27] held that talaq was only valid if there was an appropriate cause for the divorce and if it was preceded by unsuccessful attempts at reconciliation between the husband and wife, involving two arbitrators –one from the wife's family and other form husband's family. The jugdement was upheld by the Apex Court in Shamim Ara[28]. In Masoor Ahmed v. State (NCT of Delhi)[29] judges regarded triple talaq as one revocable talaq ,meaning that after its pronouncement the husband has time to rethink his decision and an opportunity to revoke the same during the period of iddat (roughly 3 months). Thus, one might argue that in a way the issue had already been settled before the Shayara Bano case came up and made it to the headlines of the International agencies and media.
The constitutionality of triple talaq was tested by the court in different step. The first issue to look upon was whether triple talaq had been codified into statutory law by the Shariat Act, 1937. If this were the case, it would be subject to constitutional scrutiny ,if not then the question would be whether triple talaq part of uncodified personal law and whether as such can be tested on parameters against the constitution. This was decided by different judges who gave different reasoning for the same. Justice Nariman and Lalit held that all forms of talaq recognised and enforced by Muslim personal law are enacted in 1937 Act and hence this would necessarily include triple talaq (para 18). As a pre constitutional law the Shariat Act, 1937 would fall within the expression "laws in force" and would be hit by the provisions of Article 13(1).Justice Joseph, Khehar and Nazeer disagreed with this. Now the question that followed and again found different answer was – whether triple talaq, was instead part of uncodified Muslim personal law. Justice Joseph answered this in negative, pointing out that according to his understanding The Quran permits talaq only every attempt of reconciliation has failed .However, since in case of triple talaq it's not possible, the practice must be held to be against the basic tenets of the Holy Quran and consequently, it violates Shariat (para 10). He stated that merely because a practice has continued for so long does not make it itself valid if it has been expressly declared to be impermissible (para 24). On the other hand Justice Khehar and Nazeer regarded triple talaq as part of uncodified Muslim personal law and consequently had to answer about the constitutionality, to which the two answered in the negative tone. This was because, in their opinion, the personal laws of any religious community were protected from invasion and breach, except as provided by and under Article 25(para 146). This interpretation in particular has been criticised, as it regards a law rather than an individual being protected under Article 25. The justices did not see a reason to engage with the relationship between Article 25 vis-a –vis Articles 14,15and 21 as "other provisions of this part", which the freedom of religion is "subject to"(Article 25(1)), as they held that these rights were only applicable to state action against individuals (para 165). They concluded that Article 25 of the constitution obliges all courts to protect the 'personal laws' and interference in such matters is clearly beyond judicial scrutiny. The judges directed the union of India to consider appropriate legislation, particularly with reference to 'talaq- e –biddat' (para199).
Returning to Justices Nariman and Lalit ,who previously regarded triple talaq as codified into statutory law by Shariat Act,1937 and thus subject to judicial scrutiny in similar vein to Justice Joseph denied the saving of triple talaq by virtue of article 25. The judges held that there was no need that "the ball must be bounced back to the legislature" (para25) and that the court could decide upon this. Apex court's previous judgment in Ahmedabad Women Action Group Case[30] was in this context dismissed as having 'no ratio' and being contradictory in itself (para 30).
Having said this, the judges engaged with the core issue of the case: the question of whether the Shariat Act, 1937, insofar as it seeks to enforce triple talaq, was a violation of equality provision mentioned in Article 14. With extensive reference to the Supreme's Court jurisprudence, the judges argued that "legislation can be struck down on the ground of arbitrariness and therefore, voilative of article 14 of the constitution" (para54). This test of manifest arbitrariness was then applied to the case at hand, the judges concluded that:
This form of Talaq is manifestly arbitrary in the sense that the martial tie can be broken capriciously and whimsically by a Muslim man without any attempt at reconciliation so as to save it. This form of talaq must, therefore be held to be voilative of the fundamental right contained in Article 14 of the constitution of India. The 1937 act, insofar as it seeks to recognise and enforce triple talaq is within the meaning of the expression 'laws in force' in article 13(1) and must be struck down as being void to extent that it recognises and enforces triple talaq.
Overall, though via a different argumentation, Justices Nariman and Lalit thereby came to the same conclusion as Justice Joseph and by a majority of 3:2 the practice of triple talaq was set aside.
In comparison to the court's earlier strategy of avoiding to engage in-depth with the personal laws, this judgment was indeed rather bold and might rightfully be called a 'landmark decision' which marks a signpost moment of the women's movement in India. The multi faith composition of the bench, which aimed at providing a neutral and differentiated view on the matter, was also a laudable approach. While in the case Article 14 and 15 played a varying role in the different argumentation, the judgement did not engage with the intersectionality of gender and religious identity. I feel that the judgement was concerned largely with the preservation of marriage rather than women's right. Thus while the decision was a step in the right direction, it did not go as far as it could go, had gender equality been taken seriously. Despite long elaborations on whether triple talaq was protected under Article 25 or not, the court did not position itself clearly on the relationship between the provisions of gender equality (Article 14&15) and religious freedom (Article 25).Striking down only one specific form of talaq will not do as in other forms –talaq-e-ahsan and talaq-e-hasan, muslim men retain their right to divorce their wives by pronouncing talaq over a period of a few months. Also these forms of talaq do not fulfill the standards of gender equality either, as Muslim husbands are granted a unilateral right to divorce their wives, which Muslim women do not enjoy in the same manner.
Thus, the decision is limited insofar as it constrains itself to a small aspect of law and does not actually set a precedent in terms of generally applicable standards for further engagement with discriminatory personal law provision.

In 2013, I've gained some, but I've lost some as well. I've lost some friends due to conflicts and such, but, no point bringing the hatred from last year, so why not let bygones be bygones and start anew?!
I didn't thought that I'll be blogging so consistently, updating this space of mine. So that's something that I really hope I will continue doing, updating my blog more frequently be it or without any invitation to events or reviews.
1: To get good grades.
As much as I want to, I know I'm a lazy MOFO when it comes to school work. But if I have to, I will definitely work hard to achieve what I want. But most of the time, I'll just leave it to fate.

Who doesn't like to be recognize for their efforts put into something? As much as I want my blog to be known in the blogosphere, I will still do it in the ethical way, by working hard, and also leaving it to fate. Hahaha! If it's meant to be it's meant to be.
4: Spend more time with my family.
I know I know, this sounds almost impossible la, but I hope to lose some weight by the end of 2014, like not those super fit muscle gym kind but just nice enough to look good la. Hahaha! But.... we'll see! LOLOLOL!
I know I'm already considered blogging VERY frequently already, but I hope to do it often like more consistently, maybe 2 - 3 post every week? Which makes 8 - 12 posts every month, and its 96 - 144 posts a year!! But sometimes due to school work and stuff, I may not blog so often la, like I say, let's just leave it to fate. Hahaha!
7: Lastly, be more optimistic and stop being so pessimistic.
SO YEAP! THAT'S MY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION! HOW ABOUT YOU?!!!
I really hope I could achieve at least half of it! Hahaha! Alright, that's all for this post, till then!
Hello There! I'll Be Back Soon!

Q: Causal Impact: how to show all data points in predicted series? This might be a very basic code question, but thank you for your help. I have used the Causal Impact package to run a regression on a data set with 144 monthly observations, cutting at point 88. I want to be able to see all the predicted data points, both pre and post intervention (i.e. the data for the dotted blue line in the plot), but I am not sure of the code in R to display this.
The code for the model so far is:

The idea behind this project was to create a simple and useful woodworking vice (yes, that's how you spell it over here in the UK) that could be clamped to my makeshift workbench (my desk).
As I don't have any metal working equipment, and only a few hand tools, a wood based vice made sense. Also, the wooden clamps I made a few weeks ago have performed so well that they seemed to be a good base for the project.
The vice is built from a recycled piece of MDF, to give the flat vice faces, and some stronger stock to act as a clamp - a section of 2x1 would be ideal, but this is just what I had lying around (and I dont mind using a saw and a plane).
The threaded rod is M6 and so are the nuts and washers - this should be plenty strong enough.
This is a relatively simple build, just be sure to keep the vice faces and the back rail sandwiched together with clamps before drilling the holes for the studding - good alignment will improve the strength.
Also once the first hole is drilled, thread a piece of studding through the sandwich to ensure the second hole will be true.
Now all you do is put all the pieces together.
After assembly the front face was sticking so I've widened the holes to 9mm improving the travel.
Thanks for putting together this project. Any chance though you could add some more detail on the drilling and assembly for a beginner like me? Thanks!
Nifty idea, saves a lotta money!
.... EPIC! AMAZINGLY SIMPLE! A+ Plus on this idea. I've seen store bought ones, made out of cheap-fake-wood, that do not hold up. And they are really stupid-expensive. Now, I just got into woodworking not too long ago, and very much a newbie, but I use larger stock. Can your design be adapted, for longer stock? example, I am sanding to long board sides, together at one time so they are even-finished? probl'y a stupid question. But thanks for your help! I AM SO GOING TO MAKE A SMALL ONE! Lastly, any ideas, if wood desk seal would help it, stand up to the weather?
WHen pressured is applied to the wing nuts, the jaws form a "V" instead of straight alignment. How do I fix? Jaws too wide? Nuts too low??
I have used this technique exactly some time ago but mostly to do hold down wooden clamps and handsrew clamps.
For a vise I think it works ok if you have the patients to go through all those fine threads.
Otherwise a good instructable, thanks for sharing it.
I would have used larger rods, and i would have used 3 of them, and only put a nut on the middle one. That's just me though, what you have done should work fine too.
You made a wooden vise. Wood vice would be illegal things done by wood. Otherwise, you have a nice Instructable. Thank you for it.
Glad you liked it Phil. However, according to my Oxford English dictionary 'Vice' is indeed the correct spelling - we brits are funny like that.
A wood vice is something that can be used to hold wood. A wooden vice is something MADE OF wood, that could hold something.. like more wood.
Yes? So it's not the spelling of the word <vice> being addressed.
The description of a vice as "wooden" signifies that the vice is *made of* wood. Or stiff in it's delivery of a punchline. Ba-dumph tsssh.
You made a wooden vise. Wood vice would be illegal things done by wood.
Phil was making *both* points, the spelling and the wooden ones.
I apologize. I did not realize you are from the UK. I know there are such differences between UK and US usage, but was not aware of that one. I had run into "C clamps" (US) and "G cramps" (UK). Thanks for tolerating my lack of knowledge.


Netizens have taken to Facebook to take part in an online campaign of "turning themselves in," venting their anger after remarks by Minister of the Interior Lee Hong-yuan (李鴻源) that the supporters of four Dapu families could face legal action after allegedly damaging government property and violating the Assembly and Parade Act (集會遊行法).
Using Facebook's new hashtag feature, the campaign, dubbed "Wanted: Tens of thousands to turn themselves in (萬人自首招募中)," has elicited passionate responses not only from people who attended the rally, but also among netizens who are upset with what they regard as the government's arbitrary policymaking.
The campaign came in the wake of an overnight rally against the forced demolition of houses in Dapu Borough (大埔) in Miaoli County's Jhunan Township (竹南) staged by the Taiwan Rural Front (TRF) on Sunday last week and Monday.
The protesters rallied in front of the Presidential Office in Taipei before staging an overnight sit-in outside the ministry calling for amendments to the Land Expropriation Act (土地徵收條例).
Lee on Wednesday said the protesters could face legal action for leaving thousands of protest stickers and graffiti on the walls of the ministry's building, as well as spray painting a mural on the ground outside the entrance.
"I was too pissed off to go to bed after hearing Lee say that he planned to sue the TRF and the protesters, so I posted a message on Facebook to vent my anger," a 40-year-old woman surnamed Su (蘇) said.
Her post unexpectedly gave rise to the wide-reaching online campaign after a young netizen included it with a hashtag.
Another netizen, who identified herself as Chen Hung-ying (陳虹穎), also launched a similar campaign on Facebook, but removed the words "turn themselves in," saying they implied that the protesters had committed a crime, whereas they had not broken any laws or engaged in any form of violence during the rally.
Su said she was impressed by the creativity and ingenious ways campaigners added a pinch of humor to serious social events.
"I am also touched by [young people's] efforts and courage to step forward and make their voices heard, when they could just stay home and sit in front of their computers playing online games," she added.
Yang Yu-fang (楊宇帆), a young pineapple farmer who wrote a letter to President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) in September last year asking him to save the nation's agricultural industry, also voiced his support for the protesters.

Priests confirm accusations against Archbishop of Gdańsk
Oct 30, 2019 | Society | 0 comments
Sixteen priests have confirmed recent allegations of bullying and inappropriate behaviour by Archbishop of Gdańsk Sławoj Leszek Głódź in a signed declaration sent to the Polish Press Agency and the papal nuncio to Poland, reports Gazeta Wyborcza.
The declaration confirms "the truth of the information" revealed in an investigative report broadcast on TVN24 last week. The report presented anonymous claims from over a dozen priests that the archbishop has regularly bullied subordinates and offered church positions in exchange for financial benefits, which he has used to fund a "lavish lifestyle". The priests described public humiliations, use of vulgar and abusive language, and a culture of fear.
According to one informant, the archbishop bullied him over his weight, telling him: "If you put on another kilogram, I'll f…ing get rid of you in a year".
"Jak przytyjesz kilogram, wypier…lę Cię po roku!" – to fragment jednego z listów księży do watykańskiego nuncjusza w Polsce. Duchowny opisywał w ten sposób zachowanie jakiego doświadczył ze strony arcybiskupa Głodzia. Szczegóły w dzisiejszym Czarno na Białym o 20.30! pic.twitter.com/q7oglw3NsV
— Czarno na białym TVN24 (@tvn24CnB) October 24, 2019
In a statement in response to the TVN24 report, the Archdiocese of Gdańsk has denied the claims, describing them as a "systematic attack on the clergy and the faithful". The Polish Episcopate has not commented. The TVN24 report alleges that the last two papal nuncios to Poland have been aware of the accusations, but have not taken action.
Prominent Catholic journalist and commentator Tomasz Terlikowski yesterday called for Archbishop Głódź's dismissal in an interview on TVN24. He explained that the archbishop may be forced to step down within the next few months, as he is approaching retirement age.

Personal Appearances
A living, breathing magical weapon of mass destruction...
Seventeen year old Jelena has lived her entire life as an outcast because of her mixed human and elven blood. Raised as a servant in the household of her uncle, the powerful Duke of Amsara, Jelena has managed to find a measure of contentment, thanks to the love of her foster mother and her cousin Magnes, the Duke's son and heir.
But, her peace is shattered when she is attacked by a castle bully and discovers she possesses a frightening ability that manifests as blue fire blasting from her fingers. She is convinced it's a form of magic inherent in her elven blood, but with no elf to teach her, her power remains beyond her control.
When the Duke informs Jelena that she is to be sold to a wealthy neighbor as a concubine, she chooses instead to flee Amsara and strike out in search of her elven father. Her only clue to his identity--a signet ring in the shape of a griffin. Accompanied by Magnes, who is escaping troubles of his own, Jelena travels north toward the elven lands. As the two cousins near the border, they are ambushed by bandits…
Ashinji Sakehera is a young man unhappily constrained by the traditions of elven society. A lord's son and a soldier by training, he longs for the life of a scholar. For weeks he's been troubled by a dream in which a beautiful half-elven girl cries out to him for help, only to be swallowed by a shadow with glowing red eyes. He has no idea what the disturbing dream means, until one day on patrol he stumbles upon an ambush by a river...
Beneath an ice-covered mountain, an ancient entity imprisoned and unconscious for a millennium has awakened. Its only desire... to find and reclaim the key to its lost power, which will allow it to destroy and remake the material world to suit its own purpose. It knows the magical key lies within a living being, a vessel that carries the energy in the form of a blue fire...
[A] likeable set of characters who showed heart, and an engaging story. [R]eaders new to fantasy who liked Feist, and the Mallorean, etc, would like this too - I would recommend it accordingly.

Mayumi Kai is a Japanese disc jockey (DJ), model, and music producer. Check out this biography to know about her childhood, family life, achievements, etc.
Mayumi Kai is a Japanese disc jockey (DJ), model, and music producer. She is best known by her pseudonym 'DJ Gedo Super Mega B**ch.' Mayumi Kai started hogging the limelight when she began dating English singer, dancer, and motorcycle racer Keith Charles Flint. After marrying Keith Flint in 2006, Kai started touring along with 'The Prodigy,' an electronic music band founded by Keith Flint. In 2012, Mayumi Kai was announced as the opening act for the band's tour 'The End of the World Extravaganza,' which was staged to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the band's famous album 'The Fat of the Land.' She remained married to Keith Flint until his death on March 4, 2019.
Mayumi Kai is currently signed to 'Universal Music Group' and continues to work as a DJ. She also produces music by collaborating with fellow musicians and disc jockeys. Apart from her musical career, Mayumi Kai is also known for her modeling stints.
Mayumi Kai got married to Keith Flint in December 2006, in England, when she was 32 years old. Their wedding was a star-studded ceremony as it was attended by many famous celebrities, including Liam Gallagher, Natalie Appleton, David Gest, and Matt Willis. In one of his interviews, Flint revealed that he and his wife could not understand a word that they said to each other during the first three months of their marriage. However, the couple eventually learned to understand each other and went on to stand by each other's side through thick and thin. In 2009, Keith Flint credited his wife for helping him deal with his alcohol and drug addiction. Mayumi Kai went on to co-own a pub with Flint in the English Countryside. She often accompanied her husband to various public events and gatherings. Apart from touring along with Keith's band, Kai also accompanied him to Europe where they were seen at several motorbike 'Grand Prix' events. Though she remained married to him, Kai and Flint had separated before the latter's sudden demise on March 4, 2019. After Keith Flint's death, Mayumi Kai was seen at 'St. Mary's Church' in Essex where Flint's memorial service was held.
Mayumi Kai loves animals and had nine dogs when she was still married to Keith Flint. She also loves traveling and has been to many holiday destinations in Japan and England. Mayumi Kai likes maintaining a low profile and is not active on social media platforms, such as Twitter and Instagram.
In 2019, another Japanese DJ named Mayumi denied that she is the ex-wife of Keith Flint when she was mistaken for Mayumi Kai by social media enthusiasts. DJ Mayumi later clarified that she just happens to share her name with Keith Flint's ex-wife and that she is a different person altogether.

While CHS doesn't learn about it in class, The Sandscript presents an opportunity to learn more about it.

Black History Month was created in 1915 to recognize black people's struggles and accomplishments throughout the years. Historian and author Dr. Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, which is how Black History Month got its origins. In 1975-1976, President Ford issued a message to "recognize the important contribution made to our nation's life and culture by black citizens." The group now known as the Association for the Study of African American Life and History sponsored a National Negro Week in 1926. As time progressed, states and cities recognized Negro History Week, and eventually, the week-long holiday evolved into the holiday known as Black History Month.
2020 has made Black History Month an even more important holiday with all the rioting and protests happening. The recent spread of Black Lives Matter (BLM) is bringing to light the injustice and racial discrimination that many African American people face daily.
Celebrated from the first of February and ending on March first, Black History Month reminds us that while there are still many things to do to reach equality, we have made progress from when this holiday originated. Every year, the month has a theme. 2021's theme for Black History Month is "Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity". The theme explores the African American diaspora and spread of Black families over the United States.
Many people have been influenced by black and African American people whether they realize it or not. Actors and actresses, singers and songwriters, and many activists have helped people through tough times or helped them to relate to other people. Nathan Montoya, a freshman at Chesterton High School, had some input on this.
"Black History Month is very important to me because of the highly influential people in the media that I look up to. A common example is Martin Luther King Jr. and people that I personally relate to more are XXXTentacion, J. Cole, and Juice WRLD because their music has helped me through tough times, and knowing that they understand what I'm going through helps a lot. Even if they don't know me personally, it means a lot to me. It sucks that people with such great talent passed so young. I try to learn more about influential black people and spread the word about the injustice going around recently," Montoya stated.
Black History Month is an important holiday and should be celebrated every month instead of just once a year. Learning more about influential African Americans and black people in the media and history books could benefit you in future endeavors and you could educate yourself more on what is happening recently.

Fight Wage Theft: Pass the SWEAT (Securing Wages Earned Against Theft) bill, which would enable workers owed previously earned wages to file a wage lien against the assets of their employer.
Card Check: Extend the right to majority sign-up or card-check recognition of union bargaining status to all New York workers, with the right of new unions to submit a first contract to binding arbitration at the request of the union.
Just Cause: Enact a Wrongful Discharge From Employment Act that protects employees from at will discharges by providing that after a probationary period an employee can be terminated only for just cause defined as failure to satisfactorily perform job duties, disruption of operations, or other legitimate business reasons.
Wage Board Sectoral Bargaining: Expand the use of wage boards to that bring together unions, businesses, and government to bargain for fair wages, benefits, and working conditions for employees across a specific industries, especially in low-wage sectors as home health care, retailing, and farm work, as was done in recent years for fast food workers and tipped workers in New York.
Prohibit 24-Hour Workdays and Unpaid Labor on 24-Hour Shifts: Replace 24-Hour shifts in the home care industry with split shifts. Repeal the NYS Department of Labor regulation allowing no pay for 11 hours of 24-hour shifts by home care workers. Following three state appellate court rulings in 2016 and 2017 requiring healthcare agencies to pay home care workers for all their hours on 24-hour shifts, Governor Cuomo's Department of Labor issued "emergency regulations" in October consistent with contrary federal court rulings allowing payment for only 13 hours. Repeal this regulation. Unpaid labor is slavery.
Keep the Triborough Amendment: Oppose proposals to repeal the Triborough Amendment to the Taylor Law. The 1967 Taylor Law (Public Employees Fair Employment Act) permits public employees to organize unions, but denies them the right to strike. Management had little incentive to bargain in good faith with public employee unions that had no right to strike until the 1982 Triborough Amendment to the Taylor Law. The Triborough Amendment rebalanced the power between management and public employees by providing that when there is an impasse in negotiations when a contact expires, the terms of the previous contract continue. Arbitration (binding for police and fire, advisory for others) is employed to help resolve the dispute. If the Triborough Amendment were repealed, management would have no incentive to negotiate a fair contract because it could then change the contract as it saw fit, leaving the workers and their unions with no legal recourse.
Guaranteed Retirement Accounts: Expand the new voluntary New York State Secure Choice Savings Program into a mandatory system of Guaranteed Retirement Accounts that provide a return of at least 3 percent above inflation guaranteed by the state government, with workers and employers each contributing 2.5 percent of income by payroll deduction and, upon retirement, with a monthly annuity check indexed to inflation.
Child Care and Elder Care: Subsidized, high quality child care and elder care for all who need it.
Labor Law Protections for Prisoners: Enact legislation to end the super-exploitation of prison labor at pennies per hour, which undercuts the wages of workers and earnings of businesses outside the prison system. The prison labor system as it exists now is akin to slavery and the prison labor camps in other authoritarian countries. Work done by prisoners can be part of rehabilitation and enable prisoners to acquire job skills, support their families, and have savings upon release. Work done by prisoners for private contractors and for public services should be paid prevailing wages. Prison workers should have all the protections of labor law, including the right to organize unions.
Protect the Scaffold Safety Law: Construction work in New York State is made safer by the Scaffold Safety Law, which holds employers accountable when workers are injured or killed because employers cut corners on the safety of people working at heights.
Enforce the right of every worker to refuse unsafe work.
Block the introduction of new chemicals untested for their impacts on human health and the environment.
Just Transition: Establish a Just Transition Income Support Program to compensate all workers whose jobs are eliminated by steps taken to protect the environment. Displaced workers would receive full income and benefits as they make the transition to alternative work.

HISTORY IS MADE AT NIGHT a Blast From the Past
There are always interesting bits and pieces of cinema history showing up on Turner Classic Movies, and History Is Made at Night, which aired this morning at 5 am, is certainly in that category.
For starters, it was directed by Frank Borzage, someone you don't hear much about anymore, even though he won the very first directing Oscar for 7th Heaven, a 1927 Janet Gaynor/Charles Farrell tearjerker about a lowly sewer worker and the woman he loves, both caught up in World War I. Although he started as an actor, Borzage was a working director in Hollywood from the days of silent films, from 1913's The Mystery of the Yellow Aster Mine (according to the Internet Movie Database, anyway), all the way up to a 1961 Italian/French production called Journey Beneath the Desert, about a helicopter crew that crashes into the lost city of Atlantis. Borzage started that one, but couldn't complete it due to illness, and he died in 1962.
After the Oscar for 7th Heaven, he picked up another one for a little-known film called Bad Girl (about "a mug and a jane") in 1931, and he won a lifetime achievement award from the Director's Guild of America in 1961.
His films were known for a deeply romantic streak, casting lovers against turbulent, destructive forces beyond their control, whether those forces were war, society, clash of cultures, family issues, Fascism, or a really nasty husband, as in History Is Made at Night.
And that's what makes History Is Made at Night a curiosity. It intertwines the dark story of an abusive husband who is always lurking in shadows, filled with rage and jealousy, with a very sweet, light romance between a beautiful society woman and the best headwaiter in Paris. Colin Clive, Dr. Frankenstein himself, plays the horrible husband, while the dashing Charles Boyer is the swoony headwaiter who takes about five minutes to fall completely and totally in love with the wife, played by the always charming Jean Arthur. Arthur is Irene Vail, the unhappy wife of shipping magnate Bruce Vail. She leaves him, intending to get a divorce, but he pulls an ugly trick, paying her chauffeur to get her into a compromising position to hold off the divorce. (I admit I don't understand that scheme, since it seems being caught with a lover would be grounds for a divorce, not an obstacle to one. See: The Gay Divorcee. But that's the plot we're working with in History Is Made at Night, so we may as well go with it.)
In any event, Boyer's character Paul Dumont is the one who saves Irene from the evil henchman, er, chauffeur. Dumont carries her off to the restaurant where he works, introduces her to his best pal, excitable Italian chef Cesare, and the two dance the night away.
That part of the story is quite lovely, all Lady and the Tramp meets Midnight, and it suits the fizzy charms of Jean Arthur and Charles Boyer perfectly. Meanwhile, the gothic horror portion of the story is cloaked in sharp angles and deep shadows, and it and Colin Clive seem to belong to a completely different movie.
And then there's the third jagged piece of this ill-fitting puzzle. When we get to the point where Irene and Paul get past her husband's dirty tricks, reunite and board a ship for Paris to clear their names, History Is Made at Night suddenly turns into a Titanic melodrama. Remember when I told you that Bruce, the horrid husband, is a shipping tycoon? Well, Paul and Irene are stupid enough to make their trip on one of his ships. Ol' Bruce is furious that Paul and Irene are back together and there's nothing he can do about it, so he basically orders the captain of the ship they're on to "Damn the icebergs, full speed ahead!" So, of course, the ship obligingly smacks right into an iceberg and our lovers are in peril once again. Will they split up for lifeboat reasons? Will they go down with the ship? And what about Cesare, who stowed away just to cook for Paul on the transatlantic crossing?
I should note that the Hindenburg also makes an appearance, although the movie was released just before it went up in flames, so the ill-fated airship is referred to here as a dandy way for rich people to get from New York to Europe, rather than another transportation disaster thrown into the mix.
With or without the Hindenburg, the film suffers from the juxtaposition of these three very different moods. It comes off camp when Colin Clive is in full-out villain mode, cheeky and adorable whenever Charles Boyer is front and center, and then weepy and turgid when we enter Titanic mode. It should not come as a surprise that it credits two screenwriters (Gene Towne and C. Graham Baker) and two "additional dialogue" writers (Vincent Lawrence and David Hertz) and features some uncredited script contributions by director Borzage.
All in all, History Is Made at Night is a curiosity, showing off just why Jean Arthur and Charles Boyer were stars, as they can rise above the material, as well as why Frank Borzage succeeded in Hollywood, with his penchant for adding a whole lot of mood through brooding, atmospheric camerawork. Note that Citizen Kane's Gregg Toland was an uncredited cinematographer.
History Is Made at Night has already aired on TCM, but it is also available in their On Demand selections on Comcast cable through November 23rd, if you're so inclined.

I haven't seen it, but could the divorce angle be that, if she has been caught in a supposedly compromising position, then she loses the "upper hand" and is in no position to bring charges against him? That was the time, wasn't it, when infidelity was one of the few grounds to grant a divorce, and there was always a guilty party and an innocent one. (And people with other reasons would simulate infidelity to provide the evidence that would get them what they wanted.)
While we're on TCM, I might mention that they're showing the film of "Stop the World, I Want To Get Off" tomorrow at 1pm (noon CT). It's rarely shown and not available on DVD so it might be of interest to fans of out-of-the-way musicals. (It's followed by the musicals "Goodbye Mr. Chips" and "Victor/Victoria" -- I guess it's Leslie Bricusse Day.)

Unless I completely misheard, him catching her in a compromising position meant that the divorce she was seeking would be delayed or stopped completely. That doesn't work with the guilty part (the one having an affair) getting caught and thereby pushing the divorce forward. It may've been ascribed to French law, since she was off to Paris to get the divorce. But it still doesn't make sense. I'm not going to worry about it, though, since there was a later plot that was even crazier legally. So the husband tried to pin a murder (that, of course, the husband committed) on Paul (although he didn't know who Paul was, so he got the wrong guy sitting on Death Row) and Irene was okay with the wrong guy going to the guillotine as long as it wasn't Paul, and then, when Paul had "confessed" and Irene backed up his story, ol' Bruce the villain was told, oh, well, now the courts will never convict, because the honor of a lady was involved. Like, somebody died and Paul thinks he killed him, but he and his girlfriend, who was married to someone else at the time, say, WELL, her honor was involved, SO... And that's as good as a pardon. In France.

What's Your Porn Star Name? The Infamous Bartenders of Hogs & Heifers Saloon – Ari's Story
September 28, 2020 /0 Comments/in Behind the Bar, Hogs & Heifers Las Vegas /by Hogs & Heifers
The Story of Ari.
"Nina Seemoan!", I said off the top of my head. That's the first time I made Michelle Dell laugh, little did I know what kind of impact that signature laugh would have on me. She'd asked me what my porn star name would be if it could be anything. One of my favorite artists is the legendary Nina Simone, a queen in my eyes, but I'm also a cheeky bastard so I said why not? And guess what, it worked, I'm here four years later writing an impromptu mini biography. I say biography because I love the dramatics, loving the dramatics has given me the ability to rock the f cking megaphone AND microphone. Don't let it fool you, a megaphone does NOT equal a microphone. When Tiffany and Michelle told me I'd be MC-ing Rally In The Alley 2019 to say I died would be an understatement. That's the end of my bio, I died that very day and have been dead since. No, I got so much anxiety I almost cried but Tiffany and OG Alexis pulled me aside and talked to me, I mean really talked to me and said I had it. That moment pretty much solidified what I'd known about Hogs from the beginning, it was not just a bar/job/family, it was also a sisterhood.
Looking back at 2016, it's wild to see who I am now. With some tremendous downs over the past four years, I can say I've had stupendous ups. One thing that's been constant in my life has been Hogs & Heifers, they quickly welcomed me in from the fashion world, to the REAL WORLD. I was working at The Forum Shops inside Ceasars Palace that summer, high-end luxury was my f cking jam. Talking people into happiness via making them feel good in outfits was one thing, me – I made it an experience for them. And In doing that, my largest sale ever was around $47,000, plus tax 😉
That's when everything was materialistic to me, a facade, I just got to play dress up with people. It wasn't fulfilling me and I didn't know what else I wanted to do. I'd finished my bachelors in psychology, and I'd worked in retail since I was 16, what was next? My friend searching a new job changed EVERYTHING.
I was helping her look for a bartending job, I'd gone to Bartending school back when I turned 21, so I asked the teacher if he knew of a bar that was hiring. He sent me an email with about SEVENTY places, the one name that popped up was Hogs & Heifers Saloon. Keep in mind I said I'm cheeky, so I chuckled and clicked the link. That very night her, Felicia if ya know her, and myself made our young and dumb asses into the bar to check it out, the day before the Cattle Call, if you know you know. And f ck me what did we walk into? To be honest the next step of our journey.
I didn't even know I was going to audition until I was stumbling out of Hogs the night before. Yet there I am on Cattle Call night, nervous as sh t, asking myself if I really was going to go through with it. Was I really gonna take a job where I hop on top of a bar and shake my ass? YOU BET YOUR BOTTOM DOLLER I DID! That's the first night I made Michelle laugh.
If you're reading this it's too late, I got hired. When I told my Dad he literally looked at me and said "What the f ck is a Hogs & Heifers?", I died laughing. All he knew is that I loved it and what it gave me, confidence and power. I went from a meek and shy girl who wouldn't dream of uttering the word "p ssy", like I genuinely wouldn't say it without looking physically ill. I'm serious, ask Tiffany and Zee. From that shyness to telling a man to eat my ass with cutlery, in front of his own parents, on their wedding anniversary. Fun fact: I later got his mother on the bar and I put Hogs stickers on her nipples.
Fun and all but to be honest, for me it was more that just that, it was the metamorphosis of myself and who I was really becoming. I started to show self acceptance and self love because of the fact I was able to find my voice. Not the audible one, cause I sound like a small man now thanks to me always screaming at work. The voice that came from me learning that I was a grown woman with something to say, and ideologies that I ready to stand firm in. Being around some of the women I'm talking about made the clogging, and the music lessons, and the failed jokes, and the wrong drinks, some of the moments where I learned about myself. I'd gone from someone who followed everyone else just for acceptance, to being ten toes down about anything I believe in and what I say.
I'm big on karmic route, and perfect sequences, and everything had to go a certain way for me to find, exist, and grow at Hogs. Every single person in this bar has taught me something. That's how walking into Hogs was worth it. All the fun I've had, the laughing, screaming, crying, dancing, friends, OH MY GOD THE FREINDS! My growth, the memories, that's why I know walking into Hogs was worth it!
Let me wrap my sappy ass the f ck up so I can go take a shot. You can take one with me if you're ballsy, but I'm always ready for more… More Hogs!
I'm gonna go put on some George Thorogood and contemplate my next hairstyle.
Remember, stay gold Ponyboy.
~Ari Rose
The History of Hogs & Heifers Saloon
The idea for opening a bar and calling it Hogs & Heifers was conceived in, of all places, a bar. Allan Dell was a self-proclaimed functioning alcoholic and figured he spent enough time sitting at a bar and that he might as well make some money while he sat there. Allan's two friends and drinking buddies were a Master Carpenter and a Graphic Design Artist and he talked them into helping him build a bar. They would all drink for free and get laid regularly and for three broke guys in their early to mid twenties, who could ask for anything more. Allan's father agreed to finance his project if he could find an experienced bar owner to "father" him in the business. Enter Tom McNeil, legend in the Dive Bar business. McNeil owned the Village Idiot in Manhattan's East Side, which was the Boys' favorite watering hole, where they could sit for hours drinking ice cold Pabst Blue Ribbon for a $1.75 a can. Allan knew that he wanted to open a bar that had to do with motorcycles and women and the original logo did, in fact, include an illustration of a chopper. The Boys were trying to come up with a name, while sitting in the Village Idiot one afternoon…"Hogs & something". On the wall above the bar was a sign for a Heifer Auction, and a heifer being a cow that has not yet been bred, is essentially a virgin cow. The name Hogs & Heifers was born. The fact that the bar ended up being in a real meat market was simply due to the affordable rent at the time, but it was a perfect match and had a great deal to do with the success of the business.
Hogs & Heifers Saloon was to be an all American classic country and southern rock-n-roll dive bar. Allan knew he wanted it to have the look and feel of a gin mill and that he wanted to hang "stuff" all over the walls. Other than that, there was little else that he had thought about. He had a lot of friends who liked to drink and planned on throwing a party for them every night. Allan may never have imagined that it would turn into the famous bar it is today, but it was absolutely his pride and joy and he considered it his greatest achievement and reveled in its quick success.
Having entered the picture prior to its opening, Michelle Dell was the first bartender to be hired. The routine performed and style of dress worn by the bartenders behind the bar, which has made Hogs & Heifers famous, was born from Michelle's heart. Hogs & Heifers opened in November of 1992 during an unseasonably cold winter. There was literally no heat source of any kind in the bar and it was so cold you could often see your own breath. Both Allan and Michelle believed in the notion of less is more when it came to dressing behind the bar and it was always freezing; did we mention the bar had no heat? Finally, Allan bought these little space heaters that did next to nothing to provide heat and with Necessity being the Mother of all Invention, Michelle began dancing on the bar–in the empty bar–as a means to keep warm. She would throw a few dollars in the jukebox and just get up on the bar and dance. Little did she know it would become the trademark theme of Hogs & Heifers and lead to countless celebrities dancing on the bar and donating their bras. The Julia Roberts photo was seen around the world and her bra still hangs there today, albeit hidden beneath some 18,000 bras! Michelle's famous routine has inspired a Major Motion Picture and a league of copy cat Bars.
Essentially, Allan and Michelle, and their friends, were just a bunch of kids with nothing to lose and they threw a party that they enjoyed. They were fortunate and blessed that so many others would love to come to their party and would do so repeatedly. The two were married in Reno, Nevada, on November 16th, 1993. Allan Dell passed away on June 7, 1997. Hogs & Heifers continues to be run by Michelle Dell who was the sole proprietor of the New York City location. She now lives in Las Vegas, close to her favorite saloon!

Our topic for the Spring term is Ancient Egypt.
English: in Literacy the children will be looking at developing their use of vocabulary. This term we will be creating our own pieces of non-fiction writing. We will be looking at the use of speech and dialogue in our stories to use a wider range of punctuation. Children will also be continuing to develop their ability to use a range of vocabulary to interest the reader.
Handwriting: we will continue to work on joining up our writing and writing clearly in a legible style. Please make sure that children have a quiet space to practise handwriting at home and that they use their finger spaces, capitals and punctuation when they write. Encourage them to read it back to you and edit their work if necessary.
Grammar: We are looking at using 'a' or 'an' correctly, adverbs and adverbial phrases, conjunctions (connectives) and prepositions within our writing. We will also be developing our understanding of representing speech in our writing with the use of inverted commas.
Maths: children are expected to know their 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, 10s and 8s by the end of year 3 therefore it would be a great help if you could help your child learn their tables at home, or simply practise these on your way to and from school. We will also work on comparing, ordering and rounding numbers up to 1000, problem solving and shape and measure. Encourage your children to see the maths that is around them every day, when you are shopping it is great practice to refer to the change that you will be getting and getting the children to practise in real life situations. We will also be looking at time. Great practice can come from children being allowed to wear a watch of their own so that they can look at the time at different points in a day.
Topic: please support your child by getting library books on the topic, reading and discussing these with them. You can also help them research facts on the Internet or encourage them to keep an "Egyptian journal" at home, where they can jot down their favourite things about Ancient Egypt, write a story set in that period or simply do a piece of Egyptian-inspired art.
The best prompt for your child is to see that you are interested in their learning so please do ask them questions about what they have studied so far.
Science: our topic is Plants. Children love being able to grow their own plants and this can get them quite enthusiastic about the topic as they have first-hand experience of it. We will be looking at the requirements of plants for life and growth (air, light, water, nutrients from soil and room to grow) and how they vary from plant to plant. We will also explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal.
Music: This term the children will be learning the recorder. A specialist teacher will be teaching the class on Wednesday afternoons and will culminate in a performance to parents at the end of the term.
Wednesday – gymnastics with class teacher (note of advice – children could wear their PE shorts under their tracksuits bottoms as the hall does get quite warm during this lesson).
Friday Please ensure your child has their spelling journal on this day.

Guest DJ playlist: Fred Schneider of The B-52's
Fred Schneider of The B-52's and Alisha Sweeney
Fred Schneider is a party music icon. For nearly 40 years he has entertained us as frontman of The B-52's, with whom he's released eight albums since the late '70s. He has also fronted The Superions, and recently teamed up with Southern Culture On the Skids. He's acted, penned a book of poetry, and more recently become an entrepreneur with the release of his signature Monster coffee blend.
He also loves to DJ, and today he joined OpenAir's Alisha Sweeney for a Guest DJ session.
Schneider shared stories about his selections too. As a teenager he spent his confirmation money on Martha and the Vandella's "Dancing in the Street" and he was in the audience when the Beach Boys sang "Good Vibrations" on The Ed Sullivan Show.
He also said that the screaming at the end of "Rock Lobster" inspired John Lennon to get back into the studio with Yoko Ono back into the studio after a five year hiatus. He also hinted that The B-52's will be coming to Denver this summer, TBA!
Catch Fred Schneider DJ'ing at Mile High Soul Club at Denver's Syntax Physic Opera, 554 South Broadway, on Saturday, April 4 at 9 p.m.
Listen to Alisha's interview with Fred above, and enjoy the playlist he curated for us below:
(The playlist also included "Only a Northern Song" by The Beatles.)


If you are in a mood for a perfectly balanced mocktail, then look no further. Today's recipe - Guava Lemonade is exactly that and much more. There is sweetness from guava puree, citrus notes from lemon juice, a hint of spice from hajmola powder and mint for a fresh herby feel. The Sparkling Himalayan binds everything together into a drink that will make you sink a little deeper into your seats with a sigh of refreshing contentment. :-) Try it and let me know how it turned out to be.
Enter any big supermarket and you will be overwhelmed with the numerous varieties of fruits (and vegetables) at display; for sale. We have best of all worlds - seasonal specialties like mangoes, papayas and bananas plus exotic ones such as berries, plums, kiwis, peaches and pears. Prices, quality and availability vary from shop to shop but the important factor to note is, there is supply because there is demand and interest to try out new stuff. Quite a welcome change, I must say.
The Husband and I are HUGE guava-lovers. When they are in season, you will often find a kilo or two of ripened and semi-ripened fruit adorning our dinner table and as we pass by, the usual scene is to grab one, slice into quarters, sprinkle with salt & chilli powder and eat. So, it is not surprising that I chose this humble fruit to create a mocktail for Sparkling Himalayan Mocktail Contest, exclusively for IFBM 2014 participants.
It is the kind of a lemonade I would love to sip all day long sitting under an umbrella on a pristine, sandy beach, and with a book in hand. Yay!
How to make guava puree: Peel guava and chop into chunks. Grind into a smooth paste using 2 cups of water. Strain the pulp once or twice to remove the seeds. The fresh guava puree is ready. Refrigerate for later use.
In a tall glass, add guava puree, lemon juice, sugar syrup, mint leaves and hajmola powder. Mix well with a long spoon. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Drop few lemon wedges and then add Sparkling Himalayan or soda. Give it a nice stir and Serve immediately.
dayyumm i want to have it NOW!
I love guava. This is good idea of having it in lemonade. Thanks for sharing. I would love to try.
