What's your stance? →
Shocked, shocked.
Why don't we just put a template for this story on a macro on standard newsroom computer systems? You could plug in the details, and it would really save a lot of time.
UPDATE: This blog will be respecting Owen Wilson's request for privacy at this difficult time. Please, do not discuss Mr. Wilson's personal problems in the comments. General comments about Wilson's career choices, performances and other public statements, as well as statements of support, are just fine, however. Let the healing begin.

HA! And I actually wondered earlier this evening, as I perused this story online, not whether, but how long it would take Nancy to post about Larry Craig. Let's log on…Could it be…? YES!
Up late, exceeding my expectations…
This is not a dig, Nance, just an observation. Not that I have any sympathy for the, um, esteemed senator (his family, maybe). Yes, some of these guys really know how to step into it, don't they?
Ooh; bad pun.
Disorderly conduct? Never heard it called that before. I'd say the Senator got off easy.
Ooh, another bad pun.
It still always surprises me that folks try to go for the gusto in such romantic hot-spots as public bathrooms…if it was customary for men and women to use the same public facilities, and if I went into one in which Elle McPherson (or her look-alike) was in a stall – would I try and hit on her THEN and THERE?
What if she really was 'doing her business'? Or – is there some subtle set of signals that practitioners exchange, and that others do not?
I recall visiting the restroom at the airport in Orlando, and a fellow in a nice suit had Mr Happy out and somewhat plainly visible, two stations over. So, with my (mental) caution flags out, I completed my stop-and-go, and washed my hands, and exited, and that guy seemingly never did his business. Pam laughed at me when I told her, saying that I'm a nut…and indeed, I could be all wet (so to speak), but that guy came to mind when I read about the hapless senator

A haiku I found:
One more bathroom sting
Nabs one more G.O.P. queen.
Black man not present.
nancy said on August 28, 2007 at 8:23 am
I'm indebted to Roy for parsing the wingnut reaction to the Craig story, but this one may be the best:
Are we actually paying undercover police officers to stake out airport bathrooms on the off-chance they might be solicited by someone looking for sex? Maybe I'm just a naive rube from fly-over country, but since when has that been a priority?
Yes, a naive rube from flyover country.
Well, if you read this morning's WSJ and saw the article about a very modest address in San Francisco, from whence hundreds of thousands of dollars have flowed into HRC's campaign coffers, then this haiku will make sense
Problem with Chinese
is that just eight years later
Clinton still wants more
You need another syllable in the second line, Brian. Try again.
I was fixing that just as you pointed it out!
How can you expect

Great idea to put the Craig story on a newsroom macro. I've known reporters who write in what I call the "madlibs" style of journalism, using their little templates for every sort of story and inserting new names, car makes/models/colors and the like.
Another idea is to do a macro for the folo that apparently never occurred outside blogs, despite MEs' statements that their papers were gonna get right on it. They were probably too busy.
Love the haiku, Nance. Did John from Cincy speak in haiku?
MichaelG said on August 28, 2007 at 9:00 am
There have been stories about Craig floating around for some time. Including supposed events in a DC train station washroom. That's the part I cannot understand. What's with restrooms? I'm sure that disgust at these kinds of encounters is a component of anti gay sentiment. There are gay guys all around. If you want to get together with someone it's easy to do so. I repeat: What's with restrooms?
And by the way, part of Roy's appeal is his great commenters. They never fail to make me laugh.
The haiku's not mine, but I'll happily accept credit for it.
If you want to read a great post/comment thread, this is the one, although you also have to watch the clip first. I was snickering all morning yesterday.
As for the restroom thing, I should probably leave that one for the experts. But I will say this: If women and men were wired the same, sexually, restrooms would have beds in every stall.
And finally, I'm glad to see so many of you are respecting Owen Wilson's privacy. Let's keep up the good work.
ashley said on August 28, 2007 at 9:24 am
Somewhere, I have a pic of me shaking Craig's hand, back when I was a prof at the U of Idaho. I need to dig that out.
garmoore said on August 28, 2007 at 9:45 am
There's a fairly comprehensive article on Craig in this morning's Idaho Statesman. Apparently the rumors about his sexual orientation go back to his college days. This latest incident won't make the rumors go away.
Poor, poor Owen. I read somewhere that he was distraught over breaking up with Kate Hudson recently, and then she was seen kissing some other guy in a coffee shop. The pressure these stars are under, I'm telling you!!! How do they cope?!?
LA mary said on August 28, 2007 at 10:10 am
There's the Kate Hudson thing (I broke up her marriage for her and nows she's boffing someone named Dax) but I think it's more the realization that he is 38 and he keeps playing the same cute doofus. He even writes cute doofus parts for himself. You, Me and Dupree? Crap.
Speaking of crappy movies, I saw one that is right up there with Last Kiss. I only lasted 35 minutes into it, though. Just Like Heaven. So bad. There is actually a scene where Reese Witherspoon's acting sounded like something from the senior class play. It made us crave the brilliance of Enough.
Danny said on August 28, 2007 at 10:13 am
Ashley, you need to wash your hands too.
Hey, for the wingnut who was wondering why the cop was there, maybe it was the cop from the Village People.
Dorothy, I see that you are NOT respecting the Butterscotch Stallion's privacy. I sense the healing is beginning.
brian stouder said on August 28, 2007 at 10:19 am
Well, Mary – we just watched Perfect Stranger, which is a silly sort of remix of Sandra Bullock's old "Scarey internet" movie (whatever it was called), with pretensions of being more sophisticated.
But it DOES have Hallie Barry (spelling?) – so we stuck with it. One sure sign that a movie is not well crafted is when you get to the last 10 minutes and one character is tasked with talking to another, and verbally explaining very twist in the plot. In this one, that patch-patch-patch scene went on for a good 5 minutes.
Some friends brought over Perfect Stranger this weekend. We dodged that bullet because I had already rented something else.
The Net. I think that is the Sandra Bullock movie.
Peter said on August 28, 2007 at 10:33 am
What really ticks me off about the whole Craig issue is the hypocrisy that to me at least seems to be off the charts these days.
If I liked men, or little boys, I wouldn't keep talking about protecting marriage and family values.
Slightly off subject – I read where Ted Nugent recently ripped into Barack Obama and Hillary regarding their anti-Iraq stands, but Mr. Nugent is widely known for crapping in his pants at the Induction Center to get out of going to Vietnam. It just gets me so angry that people who ran away when it was their turn at the plate become so strident when it's not their problem anymore. What the hell ever happened to discretion? Did it ever occur to anyone of these clowns to think "you know, I'm not one to talk…"
And speaking of not being one to talk, I'll go public – I just missed getting the draft notice, and I'm sure I would have done a student deferral. I was going to type more, but I think you can guess where this conversation is going…
The Nuge has to say something to get people to pay attention to him, as his faithful audience is now 90 percent deaf, thanks to his shitty music.
The Nuge was my first concert. I was 14 or 15. For about 4 months I had a huge poster of him in my room and thought he was the greatest guitarist ever. Then I heard Steve Howe of Yes and down came the Nuge's poster, into the trash can.
I now own a 1953 Martin 00-18 that is 14 serial numbers away from Steve's own 00-18 of the same vintage. There is a good chance that it was made by the same luthier.
Peter, though I have held him in low esteem for a long time, the revelation about the draft dodging, if true, is a new low.
Nancy, what did you think of Ted's timeless romantic classic, "Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang?" I'm sure it is a great prom or wedding song by now.
Actually, There are only two songs I like of his these days that occassionally find place in my biking mp3's: Stranglehold and Storm Troopin'. The Double Live Gonzo versions.
The most Republican member of my family, the one who gives a lot of money and time to the party and is the most in line with W's vision thing, is believed to be gay by the rest of the family. We've all thought that for as long as I can remember. I have no idea why he puts so much effort into looking not gay. It seems like really hard work. I worry that someday he'll get busted in some public toilet.
If you can bring yourself to buy one of those Starbucks complilation CDs, the current one with James Brown and George Clinton on it is pretty good. It's got a non-Archie Bell and the Drells version of Tighten Up.
One of the spinning teachers at my gym uses "Stranglehold" for an 8-minute climbing set. Odd coincidence.
The pants-wetting (and -pooping) story has been told many times by ol' whack'em and stack'em. Recounted here by Richard Roeper. I'll add to the pile-on by noting that when the Nuge set up his private-hunting operation up north, he fenced it in. What a sportsman.
The hardest-rockin' couple I know in Michigan, people who fearlessly attend every ear-popping concert they can, walked out of a Ted Nugent show a couple summers back, and swear they'll never go to another. The volume was cranked so high the "music" was indistinguishable from industrial noise, quite literally painful to be in the presence of.
harry near indy said on August 28, 2007 at 11:17 am
MichaelG, on behalf of the commentators at alicublog — and i'm a regular there — thank you.
other various comments:
writing haiku in english is like writing iambic pentameter in japanese — a waste of time and effort.
from what i read, owen wilson doesn't seem to be an asshole, so i'm sorry to read the bad news about him. but i just don't understand his appeal, and wonder why he got cast in several somewhat successful movies. please explain, someone.
larry craig probably went to a men's room for assignation because he doesn't know of any gay bathhouses in the area. he wasn't in d.c. or idaho.
Can't resist sharing the link to the Nugent video in which he insults Obama, H. Clinton, D. Feinstein, B. Boxer, and maybe some other people too.
You probably won't be surprised to hear that, if you search on "Nugent", you'll find a clip in which Sean Hannity defends him. The clip is 6.5 minutes long. I could only bear 30 seconds, I missed whatever the punchline might have been.
Danny said on August 28, 2007 at 12:13 pm
I don't think it's funny when Whoopi or Rosie or Natalie Maine shoot their mouths off. And I don't think it's funny when it comes from my side of the aisle either.
Can you all say the same?
LA mary said on August 28, 2007 at 12:21 pm
I don't think what Natalie Maine said was in the same class as calling someone a worthless whore, or a piece of shit. She said she was embarassed that Bush was a Texan.
MichaelG said on August 28, 2007 at 12:44 pm
Took the words right out of my mouth, Mary.
Kirk said on August 28, 2007 at 12:46 pm
Rosie sort of reminds me of Nugent: Both do a lot of yapping, desperately hoping that someone's still listening.
Well, let me put some words back in sweet little Natalie's mouth that you may not have been aware of.
Speaking of President Bush at the Toronto Film Festival: "What a dumb f—."
Was she holding an automatic weapon when she said it?
Jolene said on August 28, 2007 at 1:02 pm
Anybody seen "Shut Up and Sing", the documentary about what happened w/ the Dixie Chicks after Maines's remarks in London? Good review by Stephen Hunter here.
Hunter calls Maines a blowhard who has more talent than sense, which I think is on target. Her comments do seem to be in a different class than Nugent's though; they are disrespectful, but not hateful.
Danny said on August 28, 2007 at 1:07 pm
Yeah, her mouth without her brain.
LA mary said on August 28, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Probably something less dangerous to suck than a machine gun, as per Ted's directions to Obama.
Jim said on August 28, 2007 at 1:25 pm
On a completely different note … I thought the journalists (or reporters …) would enjoy this article. The first sentence itself made me wistful.
http://www.theage.com.au/news/in-depth/black-and-white-and-all-over/2007/08/24/1187462515667.html
A classic quote: "Only snobs or big heads called themselves journalists. The rest of us were reporters."
Well, one comment from the cheap seats: right or wrong – it is very very hard to campaign against a woman, and in some ways HRC benefits from that.
AND – I find it extremely extremely extremely uncomfortable when a lowest-common-denominator type (like Nugent) tosses around phallic/violent metaphors regarding political figures, and particularly against a woman, or a black American.
To be honest, The Dixie Chick's remark struck me as somewhat silly, and a little annoying (like a fly at the picnic); but Nugent strikes me as much worse – if only because pundits like Hannity, who presumeably have a white-bread following in fly-over country, seem to be trying to laugh off his remarks.
Agreed, Brian. About Hannity.
Mary, I think you are (once again) defending the indefensible.
Joe Kobiela said on August 28, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I do remember a interview with Ted, and when the dirty pants thing was brought up, he said it was made up by some magazine, tried to find out about it on snopes but could not find anything on it so who knows. I like Ted, like the song Great White Buffalo, he also played on the song Journey to the center of the mind, Does not use drugs or drink, and thinks kid should stay in school, and thinks we are all responible for are own actions. I think he likes the attention. You Dem's are so funny, I agree with Danny, I don't like when Some one from my party say's something dumb or outrages,but you Dems will fight to the death when someone like Rosie or Natalie or some other Hollywood has been say's something dumb, yet you all get your undies in a knot if someone on the other side of the fence say's something. I figured out a long time ago that those people out on the left and right coast's don't really give a shit what we here in the Midwest think, we are nothing but a 2-hour detour they have to fly over, and really I don't care what they think, I can think on my own. ( end rant).
I'll wave when I fly over tonight.
I like you,even when our politics are different
Cheers to all, your all like family
Wow, Danny, just whom did I defend? I said what Natalie said was not as crude and nasty, or as someone said above, not as hateful. You say I defend the indefensible, which I would strongly contest. You assume I support the other extreme of any issue, which I don't. I can find what Ted Nugent said obnoxious and rude without loving Whoopi Goldberg. Your world seems awfully black and white, Danny. I'm not outraged by Ted Nugent. I think he's a another person who didn't fight in the war who talks macho and criticizes people who oppose war. The Bush administration and its supporters seem to have a lot of these folks. I'm going on 55, and I knew a lot of boys who got drafted. I think one person I knew really wanted to go. The rest would rather have not, but they did anyway. Some of them didn't come back. They didn't crap their pants at the draft board. They didn't have dad pull strings so they could fly obsolete jets over Texas before going AWOL. They didn't have "other priorities" like Dick Cheney. I resent these people defining patriotism or courage and dismissing those who don't support the war as cowards. It's as hypocritical as closeted gay senators running on anti-gay issues.
Mary, would you agree that President Bush-43 at least did more than President Clinton-42?
W at least risked plunging into (as opposed to over) Texas, like a fiery lawn dart – and very well could have been grabbed by the collar and sent off to war. He came a whole lot closer than WJC
deb said on August 28, 2007 at 2:31 pm
mary. GIRL. you are awesome.
nancy said on August 28, 2007 at 2:32 pm
I stepped out for a couple hours to do some actual work and sort of lost the plot of what we're fighting about here. I'm pleased to see you're all still respecting Owen Wilson's privacy at this difficult time.
However, to steer the conversation in a new direction, how about some fresh meat?
Geoffrey Feiger, local lawyer and well-known publicity hound, was just indicted on campaign-finance charges, not too far removed from the ones that tripped up Matt Kelty last month. However, his reaction is ever so much more amusing:
"We are now living in a McCarthy era," Fieger said. "I have always been the target."
At that (press) conference, Fieger appeared surrounded by 10 lawyers, including famed defense lawyer Gerry Spence, who read a statement from Alan Dershowitz, another famous lawyer who is working on the Fieger defense. Spence wouldn't say directly if Fieger broke the law but said he didn't believe that reimbursing employees for political contributions was illegal under current law.
Lawyers at the news conference, held in a sunlit mock courtroom in Fieger's office complex, portrayed the U.S. Justice Department as the defendant, accusing it of rewarding officials for prosecuting Democrats and punishing and firing those who prosecuted Republicans.
Gerry Spence! Alan Dershowitz! A sunlit mock courtroom! I expect Chris Matthews any minute now.
Mary, I am not disagreeing with you on the people you point out as being hypocrits. Or even with Natalie Maines' comments not quite reaching the level of The Nuge's.
Which by the way, speaks to my ability to see things a whole lot less "black and white," than you say.
What I am trying to point out is that, on this forum, you repeatedly take the side of liberals without nary a criticism. They are your team. You are the one seeing "black in white." Near as I can tell.
And it's no big. I don't think anyone here is the least bit upset about it (I'm definitely not). It would just look better if you would 'fess up.
He did, Brian, and Clinton's thing about worrying it would hurt his future political career if he dodged the draft is pretty disgusting. If he thought the war was wrong, good on him, but worrying about his resume? Not good.
Deb, I'm trying to conduct an intervention here. Can you please stop enabling?
And fix your shift-key.
{snort}
Geoffrey Feiger, local lawyer and well-known publicity hound, was just indicted…
I read about that. If Feiger's actions didn't violate campaign finance laws, then nothing possibly can (imagine if 5,000 Haliburton employees each contributed $2,200, on the same day to a GOP presidential candidate, and we learned that they all had gotten a $2,200 'bonus' the day before)
And of course, this WILL draw the bright lights and Chris Matthews (et al).
I have a question, though – does (or should) the candidate/campaign get in trouble for the violations of a donor? Certainly, it is at least an unwelcome pie-in-the-face for the candidate – who may not have any way of steering around such potholes, short of spending all their own money (and thereby limiting the field to millionaires)
The WSJ article on HRC's wealthy Chinese backer made the interesting point that the campaign may well have had no idea what sort of financial conga-line preceded the contributions they were getting from the Haws.
Kelty, on the other hand, had his hand directly on the cash (Kathy Hawks came out for Tom Henry!! The GOP sky is falling!!)
Jim in Fla said on August 28, 2007 at 2:59 pm
WJC took steps to avoid Vietnam, as did GWB, as did RBC, as did a lot of us in the late '60s/early '70s. That was not a good time to be an 18 – 26 year old male.
I wish we could get beyond defining one's patriotism by what someone did or didn't do 40 years ago.
Danny, think it's possible for people to disagree without snide innuendo and the nasty personal attacks?
Yeppers. Which is why I have not done either of those things.
ashley said on August 28, 2007 at 3:47 pm
So, moving to the present, when's Jenna gonna enlist? Or Mitt Romney's sons, once they're done drivin' the Winnebagos?
Or is war only good enough for the Ty Ziegels of the world?
4dbirds said on August 28, 2007 at 3:52 pm
Dear LA Mary,
I think I have a girl crush on you.
It seems this theme has run its course here before. I quit taking Danny's bait. Y'all should too.
In addition to two of my sons who wore/wear the uniform, the war is also good enough for my two nephews, my brother's sons, who are both shipping out to Iraq in September. I hope they have all the courage of Ty without his tragic results.
Cripes, Alex. I guess I never thought "I would get so old" that reasoned discussion would be wrongly identified as "baiting". Wonders never cease. And I say this especially since you were in agreement with my call a few weeks back when Mary was defending some Democrat or another.
Anyway, on to new things. Looks like Fidel Castro is endorsing a Clinton-Obama ticket.
Hey, that reminds me. Is anyone here in support of n Obama candidacy? Or even sending money to the campaign?
It seems a bit far-fetched that anyone named Barack Hussein Obama will be elected as president, but I guess he did make it to the Senate. Of course, in light of today's revelations, that ain't sayin' much.
And, for a little threadweaving, Mitt's sons (or, at least, two out of the five) are probably on their way to the recruiting office now, having already completed the work of removing a video of Larry Craig endorsing their dad from their collection of clips on YouTube.
And, too funny. When I looked for a link about removing this video, which I'd read about in a couple of places, one of the first hits contained this comment:
No one has noted this yet, but I think it is a sign of a well-oiled and responsive campaign machine that the Mitt Romney campaign was able to remove Craig's video from YouTube so quickly.
And I don't think the guy was kidding.
Is anyone here in support of n Obama candidacy?
Honestly, I am quite taken by Obama. I'm a sucker for tall legislators from Illinois – and his announcement speech in Springfield was wonderful. Before that, I listened to a speech of his on people of faith, and how the Democrats should forthrightly court those people, with appeals based on shared values. Very, very refreshing to hear a leading Democrat NOT write-off a few 10s of millions of work-a-day Americans as simple-minded lunatics!
In the debates, he has done quite well – and even the supposed "gaffes" regarding going after Sammy bin Laden wherever he is, and his willingness to sit down with any number of unsavory world leaders, struck me as merely re-restatments of current US policy….albeit in a refreshingly blunt style.
Honestly, I cannot see any of the GOP crop winning in '08, other than maybe Rudy….and you just KNOW that some tawdry skeleton will tumble out his closet in the fall of 2008
Owen's people have fessed up to it being a suicide attempt. Defamer is a good source of non-privacy respecting news (and comments)
Rudy's skeletons are banging on the door to get out.
Laura said on August 28, 2007 at 4:30 pm
A little change of subject.
Have any of you been following the anti-semitic rants of the Columbus cop and her sister on YouTube? Their tirades are the sort I thought you only saw in bad Lifetime movies about really bad people.
I'd link you, but I don't have the skills to do it on nnc.
I'm supporting Obama, at least until HRC is declared the Dem nominee, which seems more likely.
Here's my rationale: After this administration, we need an inspirational leader, and I think he fits that bill. I also think it's important to have someone who welcomes interaction w/ the rest of the world.
Numerous people, including Anne Applebaum, a right-centrist WaPo columnist, have written that our reputation in the world would be greatly enhanced by enhance by an Obama presidency.
Her comment: Obama, with his African relatives and Indonesian childhood, would start his presidency riding an enormous wave of international goodwill. His differences from our current president — he's young, black, with a more complicated background — would win him a lot of points in a lot of places, whether or not he knows the name of the Pakistani president (and whether or not he would bomb that country, as he recently seemed to imply he would).
Her column is about the importance of foreign policy experience, in which she points out the obvious, i.e., that nobody who isn't president really has experience in making foreign policy decisions.
Rudy isn't too worried about tawdry skeletons falling out of his closet. He drags one around on his arm.
Kirk said on August 28, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Laura, that cop will soon be reassigned and probably will be investigated by internal affairs for conduct unbecoming an officer. She's a real winner.
It took New York City eight years, but it finally was vindicated in its firing of some firefighters and cops who put on a racist display in a Labor Day parade some years back.
And two more comments re Obama: He says things that are quite reasonable if only people would stop and think. When asked what he would do first if there were another big terrorist attack in the U.S., he said that he'd first make sure that there was an effective emergency response so that survivors and local leaders were getting the help they needed. He then said:
"The second thing is to make sure that we've got good intelligence, A) to find out that we don't have other threats and attacks potentially out there, and, B) to find out, do we have any intelligence on who might have carried it out so that we can take potentially some action to dismantle that network."
Sounds kinda reasonable, huh? But, speaking after him, both Edwards and HRC emphasized retaliation, and Obama was widely criticized for his "gaffe", which supposedly indicated that he wasn't tough enough.
In addition to being reasonable, Obama is right, I think, re needing to turn the page. Our arguments here re forty-year-old events support that idea. I've thought, particularly, that he could deal more effectively than could any white person w/ the racial issues that confront us now. The issues of basic rights–voting, accommodations in public places, laws prohibiting discrimination in housing–have been addressed, however imperfectly. Given changes in laws and public perceptions, they can be treated as problems of enforcement and decency.
But there are still serious problems that, in one way or another, come to affect us all–most of them stemming from poverty, poor parenting, and poor education. There is, in dealing w/ these problems, a role for government to play, but they are largely local and familial issues. Obama could, I think, take them on and make a difference.
And,by the way, I'm in the demographic that seems common on NN.com, i.e., about 10 years older than Obama.

Nance what's the record for "most comments" to one of your entries? Can't believe this is at 68 so far today!!
Another redirect of the conversation: Today was my last day at my job – Ohio and Kenyon College here I come!! I'm over-the-moon happy to be starting the next chapter of my life. Corny as that sounds, it feels monumental to me anyway.
Hope your new situation at Kenyon is as great as you expect it to be, Dorothy. What will you be doing there?
Dorothy, as I read you comment, I heard the theme to Laverne & Shirley in my head.
Or, the Mary Tyler Moore theme.
Jolene, I could not possibly agree with you more strongly! Great post!!
And Dorothy – I envy your courage. The proprietress of this place and you…and come to think of it, LA Mary and several of the other people around here, positively embrace change; take charge of it, and turn it to your own purposes.
This is not something that I'm good at!

Use coconut oil as a moisturizer.
I have found nothing works better for moisturizing my skin than coconut oil!
Use a sunscreen made for your face. Using sunscreen made for your body on your face is a big no-no! I broke out terribly, save yourself the trouble and pick up some face SPF.
Speaking of sunscreen, you want to make sure you are protecting your hair from the drying sun. Products like Tresemme's Climate Control Spray have UVA/UVB protection.
Use brow powder instead of gel in the summer if you can. Just like using your primer, you don't want the sun melting your brow gel off.
Always wear a primer. This will help prevent the sun from melting your makeup into every crevice of your face.


Bottled water is high in mineral content. I think you can get some iron cleaner that might work. The best water is apparently deionised water (from a car shop) or you can get fragranced iron water.
What's wrong with tap water.
think it's usually too hard covering the element over time like in your kettle.
Has happened to my last 2 irons one Philips and other Sains own brand. Both after 6 months too! I returned both for refund. Have no idea what causes this but my latest iron is now steaming less after 4 months now.
I don't bother with the steam function on my iron anymore - not needed.
Just spray with water and use a medium heat - gets out any wrinkles easily.

AGEING is a complex process which sets in insidiously and causes irreversible change affecting all organs of the body. Essentially it is an accumulation of wear and tear on the body that occurs progressively with the passage of time but there is much we can do to help maintain vitality in older cats and dogs using the right nutrition.
A cat or dog is considered to be "mature" when it reaches half its average life expectancy and so this group represents a large proportion of the population. Cats are considered to be "senior" from the age of seven and in the healthy ageing cat there are several areas in which nutritional changes can help.
The age at which a dog is considered to be "mature" varies depending on the breed size – eight years for small dogs (less than 10kg), seven years for medium dogs (10- 25kg) and five years for large dogs (over 25kg). At around two-thirds of its life-expectancy, a dog becomes classified as "senior".
As cats and dogs age, their kidney function is likely to become less efficient than it was during their prime adult years. As a result, reducing the phosphorus level of the diet is recommended for mature and senior diets.
A loss of water-soluble vitamins (due to a reduced ability of the kidney to concentrate the urine) can also be seen in ageing animals and so these are often incorporated into these diets too.
Tartar deposits on the teeth and receding and inflamed gums are common problems in mature pets. This can also affect appetite and, eventually, lead to weight loss. Kibble diets, which limit plaque, coupled with the inclusion of sodium tripolyphosphate can be beneficial.
These calcium binders limit availability of salivary calcium, delaying dental plaque calcification. The kibbles of most senior diets are formulated to be softer to offer easier prehension and chewing of the food.
Joint issues are much more likely to occur in geriatric cats and dogs. The addition of nutrients such as glucosamine, chondroitin and omega-3 fatty acids (especially EPA and DHA) to the diet can help to support mobility.
As pets age, their skin can become drier because the oil-producing glands within the skin often decline in numbers and the coat often becomes thinner as the hair follicles shrink back. Ensuring the diet contains optimal levels of B vitamins, zinc and essential fatty acids will aid the skin and coat.
Muscle loss due to ageing (sarcopaenia) is also a common cause of weakness in older cats and dogs and so it is important that their diet includes high quality proteins. A higher percentage of branched chain amino acids (such as leucine) helps to maintain muscle protein mass. Leucine directly stimulates protein synthesis in skeletal muscle cells and generates energy in muscles by increasing ATP content.
As pets mature, metabolism can start to slow and their energy requirements decrease, resulting in an increased risk of obesity in this age group. For example, the maintenance energy requirements for an elderly dog are considered to be 20% lower than those of a younger adult dog, due to a decline in the "lean mass: fat mass" ratio.
However, amongst senior cats and dogs, the senses of smell and taste can begin to deteriorate, resulting in a decreased appetite. It is therefore important to offer a highly palatable food to senior pets and one that is relatively higher in energy, to stimulate them to eat the food but also because these pets often have a decreased ability to digest the food they are given, so are more likely to start to lose weight.
A combination of highly digestible proteins, sugar beet pulp and fish oil can assist here, in order to ensure maximum digestive tolerance.
Phosphatidylserine and L-tryptophan are useful ingredients in supporting brain health in ageing pets.
Phosphatidylserine is a natural brain structural lipid found in the neuronal membrane. It moderates the fluidity of the cell membrane, essential to the brain cells' ability to send and receive neurotransmitters.
L-tryptophan is an amino acid, metabolic precursor of serotonin that plays an essential role in the regulation of anxiety, sleep and appetite.
In summary, ageing is an inevitable part of life and such changes should be seen as a natural evolution rather than a disease. It is, however, important to ensure that the more mature pet is recommended a diet which is appropriate not only for its size, lifestyle or breed but also for its age.

Life in the sky
Photos: Tonio Lombardi
Words: Rachel Loos
Appeared in: HW86
So strong was Adrian Micallef's vision for this apartment, that he bought it even before the first stone was laid. 'I wanted to be able to design the walls, apertures and furniture to make the best use of all the space,' says Adrian. 'Every detail and feature in the apartment has been custom-designed and built.'
The apartment has 270 degree views and the apartment is orientated to make the most of them with large windows in almost every room. 'I wanted the penthouse to feel as though the outside and inside were one, so as to feel like one is enjoying life in the sky,' says Adrian. 'The aluminium glass doors and windows are floor-to ceiling to capture as much natural light as possible, and each of the three bedrooms enjoys the surrounding terrace, in particular the main bedroom which extends onto the terrace with decking and outdoor furniture.'
The main living space is open-plan and filled with light, and also has direct access to the terrace through a number of apertures.
The interior style is Nordic meet industrial. 'My aim was to create a sense of natural warmth,' says Adrian. 'I love wood and I used wooden panels of red deal on the interior walls and contrasted this with a combination of raw concrete ceilings and concrete floor tiles.'
Warm autumnal shades of burnt orange and mustard also create a sense of comfort, as well as fitting with the colours of the flames flickering in the wood-burning stove. 'The orange was actually inspired by my grandfather's armchair which is in the living room,' says Adrian.
Every bit of the space is used well, from the kitchen custom made for a triangular-shaped area to the custom-made sideboard tucked into a corner and which functions as a bar.
The apartment is also full of clever touches – the mirrored door behind which is a bathroom, has been placed there so that those sitting with their backs to the window can still enjoy the views, and the lower section of the kitchen hood in the kitchen has been lightly framed in wood to link it to the rest of the room.
Outside, concrete features once more, with raw concrete flooring combined with decking and turf. On one side is an elevated swimming pool, on the other an outdoor kitchen. They both meet a point that is marked by a concrete table that is perfect for entertaining.
The end result is just as Adrian, who lives here with his family, wanted it. 'I am very happy with it,' he says. 'It is very relaxing to be up here – you don't hear any noise, and the views are breathtaking. And it doesn't matter how many people are in the penthouse, there's always enough room!'
The main living area is open-plan, allowing the lounge, dining area and kitchen to access the vistas. The concrete ceiling has been left unpolished and adds interesting texture; concrete is also used in the floor in the form of polished tiles. Adrian panelled one wall of the lounge in red deal, the wood extending round the corner to where the wood-burning stove is tucked out of the way. Cut into the wall is a box for logs. Asell as wood, the space is also warmed by the colours of burnt orange - inspired by Adrian's grandfather armchair - and mustard. The mirrored door by the dining table allows those sitting with their backs to the window to still enjoy the view.
The table was designed by Adrian and made by a carpenter. The custom-made sideboard and shelving, along with a bottle rack made by Adrian, create a compact bar area. The pendant lights were also designed and made by Adrian and complement the industrial vibe.
Also custom-built, Adrian created a kitchen island to come out from the wall. 'I wanted to have something unusual,' he says. The lower part of the cooking hood has been framed in red deal which adds the warmth of wood but also links it to the rest of the space. Stools have been upholstered, fabric adding a softer feel. The terrace can be reached via a door in the kitchen ensuring the flow of the apartment works comfortably.
The blue of the wall connects with the sky, emphasising the sense of being up high. The floor-to-ceiling glass doors slide back to give direct access to the terrace. The pendant light was made by Adrian using discarded pieces of furniture.
Mustard is a strong shade in the bathroom where a feature wall of Maltese tiles is a decorative foil to the surrounding concrete.
a terrace wraps round all most of the apartment. Adrian has divided it into sections that include a custom-built elevated pool with sun bed area, ensuring there is shade for when the sun is hot. There is also a roof garden of olive trees and a variety of plants.

It is a week after the Canberra Tour and I am still in the 'should have, could have, would have' mindset. Should I have gone with the attack at the top of Mt McDonald, could I have dug a bit deeper on the Three Sisters, would I have won my first tour if I were more experienced? I found it difficult retelling the race to family and friends last week. Those who were following my progress across the weekend were curious to learn what happened and how exactly did I lose a 94 second lead.
I started drafting this blog at 5:30am on Monday morning. I had been kept awake at night replaying the races in my head. There are a lot of 'what ifs' from the three-day, four stage event. But I hope that I will soon be able to move past all that and be happy that I took a stage win, a second, wore the leaders jersey for a day, and finished the tour on the podium. This time last year I was a triathlete and somehow convinced my coach to let me enter Womens B Grade. I won that and then somehow convinced my coach to let me switch sports. A year on I was only 16 seconds shy of another tour win in Womens A Grade.
I am not a climber so went into the tour with the sole goal of winning the time trial. I was a guest rider for Team Suzuki and with one of their star riders on a break from training we were left without an obvious GC rider. Our coach John Forrest decided we would wing it for a bit. We had some ideas but results in the first stage – a 50min criterium – would determine our plan for the weekend. With one lap remaining the experienced Bron Ryan took the lead and I found her wheel as planned. With 350m remaining she signalled for me to go left and I launched my sprint a little prematurely. I later learnt she just wanted me to sit on her left. Amateur. Despite gapping the field into the finish straight, I was passed on the line. With the generous time bonuses on offer I started day 2 second on GC with a 25sec buffer and only 5sec behind tour leader Loren Rowney.
Part of me wanted to be racing B Grade. Shorter races = fewer hills. I had to survive a challenging morning 110km road stage if I wanted to have a crack at the TT that afternoon. At one point during that race I asked a teammate if there was a time cut-off because I was struggling. In the months before the tour I suspected our coach wanted to kill us in the hills around Cotter and Uriarra. We had motor-paced every meter of road between Stromlo and Tidbinbilla and were well prepared for our home tour. I knew the hills I usually got dropped on during training, and had my fingers crossed that the bunch would stay together so I could have another crack at a sprint. I was second-wheel leading into the home straight but made the mistake of trying to take the inside line around the last bend. Meanwhile half the field went wide and I sprinted to seventh. Top-six were awarded time bonuses so I just missed out. This bumped me back to fifth on GC and with 20sec to pick up in the TT.
I had three other housemates racing so there was a bit of trash talking before and during the weekend. With two in Mens A and one in Mens C there were people coming and going and eating and resting at all times of the day. Housemate Ben Hill somehow convinced me to let him borrow my TT bike. This was dependent on the time gap being sufficient to let me get it back for my start. It was a nervous wait in the week before the tour for the start times to get posted. He was off at 3:10pm, which gave him 1hr23min to finish before I required my bike. Luckily for him I am a 'W' and right down the bottom of the list. He got 12th in the TT on my superfast Orbea Ordu and finished the tour in 8th so I will claim some of that. I picked up the 20sec required and rode a bit extra into my competitors to find myself in the very unfamiliar position of leader going into the final stage.
Team Suzuki had two cards to play in the final 80km road stage with junior Allison Rice second on GC and 54sec back. Every other team were over a minute down so we had a fair idea what their plan would be – attack and drop me. Before the race there were three points where I suspected it could be game over – Pierces Creek, Mt McDonald and the Three Sisters. They were all climbs and I knew if I got over with the bunch then there was a chance I could stay in white. We recruited NTID training partner Ailie McDonald to help keep everything together and she did a fantastic job in the first real break of the race.
I barely just survived over the first KOM at Pierces Creek. I was dagging off the back on the return trip up Mt McDonald. And then the attack happened and when Grace Sulzberger rode away I was poorly positioned and took too long to decide what to do. Only VIS rider Kendelle Hodges was prepared to go with it. Bundaberg Sugar rider Zoe Watters asked if we were committed to the chase. Hmm. Good question. I had hoped the bunch would just chase the pair down but once we got our act together, only four riders were prepared to drive the bunch so we made up little ground. I had spent myself in that chase and when we reached the first and hardest Sister I was really struggling. I thought that was it. The bunch rode away. The race convoy started to pass. But my coach decided I still had something to give. He yelled something from the window of our team car and I started to chase. It was a solo 10km time trial hoping that the bunch would catch Grace, and I would catch the bunch. Neither happened. But I had done enough harm minimisation to prevent anyone else jumping ahead of me on GC. Teammate Allison Rice rounded out the podium.

According to the Department of Labor (DoL), 'overtime' is defined as time and a half pay for every hour over 40 hours a week spent working. Defined in further detail in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Act that defines 'overtime' applies on a workweek basis with a regularly recurring week that can be defined to begin and end on any day. With the DoL recently revising the definition of 'overtime' to include some low paying white collar positions that are salaried, you may in fact be entitled to more money then what you are currently receiving.
Whether done intentionally or accidently, if you are not being paid your fair share then you will need the services of an overtime attorney. Helping you navigate the confusing and at times obfuscated world of labor law, your overtime lawyer will run through various fact sheets and general guidance principles to help with your case. When it comes to having representation in court, make sure you have the full legal representation afforded to you so that you can place your best case forward.
Do You Have Uncredited Overtime Pay?
Are you owed overtime? The first question you should ask yourself is whether or not you are hourly. If you are hourly, then the process of determining overtime is relatively straightforward. If you are salary, then recent changes in the rules means that you may want to seek an attorney to be sure what legal footing you have. If you are hourly, then every hour worked over 40 hours a week requires overtime pay. First, determine your workweek as set by your employer. Typically, this is Sunday to Saturday, or Monday to Sunday. Sometimes the workweek may split straight through the center of the week. Once you find your start, count every hour you worked. For every hour over 40, multiply your pay by 1.5 then add to the amount you are paid for the 40 hours. Regardless, in figuring all this out you may want to retain the services of an overtime attorney.
Helping you make sense of confusing laws, an overtime attorney will tell you where you stand according to the law. In addition, let our talented team provide these services for you.
Do you feel as if you have worked extra hours and have not been compensated correctly for your time? Contact us today and we can schedule a free consultation to review your case.

A rescaling scheme with application to the long-time simulation of viscous fingering in a Hele-Shaw cell
Shuwang Li, John S. Lowengrub, Perry H Leo
Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics
In this paper, we present a time and space rescaling scheme for the computation of moving interface problems. The idea is to map time-space such that the interfaces can evolve exponentially fast in the new time scale while the area/volume enclosed by the interface remains unchanged. The rescaling scheme significantly reduces the computation time (especially for slow growth), and enables one to accurately simulate the very long-time dynamics of moving interfaces. We then implement this scheme in a Hele-Shaw problem, examine the dynamics for a number of different injection fluxes, and present the largest and most pronounced viscous fingering simulations to date.

Reishi has its home in Asia where it's also called the "divine mushroom of immortality". It has been a fundamental part of traditional Chinese medicine for more than 4,000 years. Reishi (ganoderma) is also mentioned in the basic work of Chinese medicine, in the Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor. It was so rare in those times that it was used only by the emperor and his family. And it wasn't only used in Chinese medicine, but also as a powerful talisman for happiness and protection from all evil. Monks in Taoist monasteries used Reishi before meditation, for its ability to appease the soul of Shen. It's also used by Russian astronauts or Sherpas in the high Himalayan altitudes for its ability to regenerate and stimulate functions of the organism.
Reishi has many bioactive substances, which make it unique. It contains a great amount of vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides, beta-d-glucans, ganoderans, and also steroids, cyclic esters - lactones, triterpenes, including ganoderic acid or lanostans, etc. We use 6-9 months old sporocarps for our production, as the concentration of active ingredients is at its highest at this age. In older mushrooms, the concentration of active ingredients is gradually decreasing and the effect is less efficient.
take the Reishi powder on an empty stomach (at least 30 minutes before meals or 60 minutes after meals). Mix it in water, coffee, tea (cold or warm) or smoothie. Let it dissolve for 15-30 minutes.
when using medicinal mushrooms, we recommend increasing the intake of vitamin C, which increases the absorption of active substances.

There are 419 cities in the U.S. State of Kentucky that are recognized by the state.
Kentucky cities are divided into six classes based on their population. Over 400 classification-related laws affect public safety, alcohol beverage control, revenue options and others. Lexington and Fayette County merged to create an urban county government (UCG) and Louisville merged with Jefferson County to create a metro government. However, Lexington and Louisville retain their pre-merger classification.

Padma Lakshmi Opens Up About Rushdie In Memoir
In the 324-page memoir, "Love, Loss and What We Ate," Padma Lakshmi opens a window into her life, weaving together stories from her childhood, her love affairs and her work through the lens of the culinary experiences that eventually shaped her fame. The book appears to spare little, delving deeply into personal details about uncertainty over paternity during her pregnancy, the pain of a custody case and her efforts to overcome the insecurity she felt being Indian.
Lakshmi particularly highlights her high-profile relationship with author Salman Rushdie, which was overshadowed by a fatwa, or religious edict, that had been issued in 1989 by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's former supreme leader. It called for Rushdie to be put to death for his supposedly blasphemous book "The Satanic Verses."
The two met at a party in New York in 1999, when he was married and she was an aspiring model and actress. They shared a high-profile love affair and then a marriage. But health and professional tensions frayed their relationship.
Lakshmi suffered from endometriosis, a painful uterine disorder in which tissue grows outside the organ. The struggles of dealing with it – she had extensive surgery – upended their sex life and contributed to the demise of their marriage, she writes. Lakshmi said Rushdie was insensitive to her medical condition and at one point called her "a bad investment," even as she tried to recuperate.

Securing the basic right to water
Pooja Doriya lives in Jamgod village in the Dewas district of Madhya Pradesh, which is inhabited by 700 families, a majority from the OBC, ST/SC community. The main sources of water in the village include the community well, hand pumps and borewells installed in some households. However, during the summer season the well dries up and at times, the borewells also fail to generate water. As a result, women have to travel a minimum distance of 1-1.5km to fetch water for daily consumption.
When the P.A.C.E. programme was introduced in the village in July 2019, several women, including Pooja joined it to learn new things and improve their skills. Pooja attended every session with great enthusiasm and worked as the community mobiliser of her learning group.
When faced with water scarcity in the village, the P.A.C.E. participants decided to call a community meeting of the village women to discuss the problem and find the best solution, using the methods learned in the Problem Solving and Decision-making module.
It came to light that while an organisation called CARD in alliance with Water Aid, had laid down the water pipelines, they were yet to be made functional. Having learnt about the government's Jal Jeevan Mission during their P.A.C.E. training, the women decided to form a Village Water and Sanitation Committee (VWSC) called the Pani Samiti, to address the issue of the nonfunctional pipelines.
The women on a mission first approached the Sarpanch with a proposal. Once it was accepted, a committee of 11 members (10 women and 1 man) was formed, with all the women being P.A.C.E. participants. Pooja Doriya was elected as the chairperson of the Pani Samiti.
As a result of consistent efforts by the samiti to persuade the local government to supply drinking water through the piped connections, today 150 households are receiving water through pipeline. In addition, Water.org is planning to introduce an R.O. plant in the village.
Pooja and the other P.A.C.E. participants are grateful to the Women+Water Alliance for conducting the P.A.C.E. training, which has helped them develop various skills and build their awareness and confidence.
Pooja is particularly thankful because she believes that "the relation of water and women is unbreakable. Water is an essential part of women's life."
About the Programme: CARE is working with USAID and Gap Inc. as a partner of the ambitious Women + Water Alliance (W+W) to improve and sustain the health and well-being of 2,00,000 women, their households and communities touched by the apparel industry. The programme is designed on the premise that by providing access to water, inculcating sanitation and hygiene (WASH) practices and sharing water resources in a sustained and equitable manner, women will be able to significantly improve their health and wellbeing.

I remember when Mary moved into Christian Towers. Mary was a wonderful woman who had a contagious joy about her. I wondered how she would live independently as she was blind and a single leg amputee. She got around in her wheelchair very well, I learned and was far more independent than a lot of "independent" people I knew.
In Mary's life she had been married to four Baptist ministers and all four had died. She had a strong faith in the Lord and loved to tell others of his goodness.
I'll never forget a conversation I had with Mary one day. She was telling me how upset her son had made her. He had questioned if she was independent enough to live at the Towers. She told him in no uncertain terms that she was quite independent and would even prove it to him. She said she'd get her red shoe on and her red dress on and go out and catch another minister!
That story CRACKED ME UP.
So preachers respond to red shoes and red dresses?

Barcelona are reportedly set to prioritise the pursuit of 23-year-old Lyon star Ferland Mendy in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are eager to strengthen their options for the left side of the defence in the summer transfer window. The La Liga champions have thus, reignited their interest in Ferland Mendy, who is one of three targets for the left-back slot.
Ferland Mendy joined Lyon from Le Havre in the summer of 2017, and quickly established himself as a regular in their first-team setup. The 23-year-old has only gone from strength to strength in his second campaign with Les Gones, featuring in all but three games this term.
Mendy's performances for Lyon have helped him break into the French national setup as well, with Didier Deschamps handing him his maiden cap last year. And, the defender's exploits have been attracting bigger clubs as well, most prominent of them being Barcelona, who have been previously linked with a move for the player last summer.
Ernesto Valverde does have one of the world's best left-backs at his disposal in Jordi Alba. But, beyond the Spaniard, the Barcelona boss does not have any recognised options to fill in during the first-choice defender's absence, as has been brutally exposed this season.
Both Sergi Roberto and Nelson Semedo have both been played as makeshift left-backs this season, with Roberto struggling considerably last weekend against Valencia. Meanwhile, Juan Miranda is seen as one for the future, but as his performances have shown this season, the La Masia product still has some way to go before he can establish himself as a first-team regular.
Mendy is thus, seen as a player who can be an immediate solution for Barcelona, who have scouted him for much of the last 12 months. And, next week's Champions League Round of 16 tie will present the Catalans with another opportunity to monitor how far the French international has come along.
Whether Barcelona finally choose to launch the offensive for Ferland Mendy next summer remains to be seen. What is clear though, is that the left-back slot is an area of concern, with no discernible backup option for Ernesto Valverde to pick beyond Jordi Alba.

Man seriously injured after assault in Reading town centre
A 22-year-old man was attacked in Broad Street on Sunday and two Ascot teenagers have been arrested on suspicious of causing GBH
Natasha Adkins
Two people have been arrested after a man was assaulted in Reading town centre on Sunday morning.
A 22-year-old man was attacked between Pret A Manger and the Oracle entrance in Broad Street at about 3.44am.
He was taken to John Radcliffe Hospital, in Oxford, with a serious head injury where he remains in a stable condition.
Detective inspector Nigel Doak said: "Police believe that the assault may have been witnessed by a number of people who were in that area of the town centre at the time. Officers would specifically like to talk to two men and two or three women who came to the aid of the victim following the incident.
"These types of incidents are rare in Reading, and I would like to reassure the public that Thames Valley Police is fully investigating the matter."
An 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, both from Ascot, have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, they have been bailed until Tuesday, December 10.
If you have any information call Det Insp Doak on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Marquette Courtside
Koby Clutch: McEwen has found it at the right times
By Dan Pfeifer Jan 31, 2020
Our current age of analytics tends to devalue the idea of being "clutch." For instance, we see more NBA games nowadays that aren't close at the end. Not too long ago, there were so many, they almost felt manufactured … not that the league would ever be accused of meddling with results or anything.
It's not difficult to measure "clutchness" if you want to evaluate it out statistically. You can just pick out the shots that had the biggest impact on win probability if you'd like. Most often, those are shots that came at the end of close games. However, part of the analytical approach to the modern game is the idea that three points is greater than two, but three points always counts as three points, whether it be at the start or end of a game. When you score them matters less than that you simply do.
Still, basketball is entertainment, and there's little more entertaining or thrilling than a shot that ties or wins a game. And lately, the guy who's been hitting those shots for Marquette has been Koby McEwen.
In Marquette's double-overtime win against Xavier Wednesday, McEwen was scoreless until there was 5:01 left in regulation. He then posted Marquette's next 17 points, including its final 10 in regulation and all seven in the first OT. The fun part? Between the start of the run and when McEwen finally missed a three with 2:41 remaining in the opening extra frame, he didn't miss a shot. He went 8-for-8 from the free-throw line, 3-for-3 from two and even hit a three for good measure. Xavier couldn't even stop him when they fouled him. His first two buckets of overtime were and-ones.
This came after McEwen hit a prayer of a shot at the end of regulation against then-No. 13 Butler last Friday to force overtime, then scored five points in nine seconds to take an eight-point Bulldog lead and bring it within a more-reasonable four. It then went to one when Sacar Anim hit a three after MU forced a five-second violation. Anim also found the touch in the second overtime against Xavier.
The odd part about McEwen is he's been rather up-and-down during the normal run of play this season. He's only shooting 33 percent on the year, though over half of his made shots have been from three-point land. He's had six games where he's either had just a single bucket or failed to get a basket at all. Yet you also have to look at who he's had good games against. He scored 23 points against Purdue and 19 against Wisconsin. He wouldn't reach the 20-plus strata again until Marquette beat Villanova with help from his 22. His per-game average fell below 10 when he scored just five points on 2-of-10 shooting in a frustrating OT loss to Providence, and that average wouldn't go back above double-digits until his 18-point performance Wednesday. His big games have almost exclusively come against good teams or at the most-needed times.
Admittedly, there is a flaw here. Marquette has struggled with inconsistency under Steve Wojciechowski, which means another player who runs hot and cold doesn't exactly help matters. You'd rather a guy's standard deviation from his per-game average, shooting percentage, and just about every other stat, be a little lower than McEwen's. But in a conference like the BIG EAST, where it seems like any team can beat any other team on the right night, having a guy who can walk into opposing gyms and not just drain the occasional clutch shot, but drain shot after shot into the faces of rabid opposing student sections, seems like something every coach in the conference would envy.
Setting aside Michael Jordan as not just clutch but simply the best ever, despite making Craig Ehlo famous or setting up his second of three retirements the best way possible, the next-biggest name associated with basketball clutchness is Robert Horry. Big Shot Rob had so many huge makes, you would probably never guess, despite his seven NBA championships, he was never an all-star. McEwen has a long way to go to reach Horry's plane, but Robert can at least serve as an example to McEwen of a guy who made his livelihood off being good when it mattered most.
McEwen also hails from Toronto, a town that's produced some of the most clutch moments in the history of sports, ranging from Joe Carter'sWorld Series walk-off to "the bat flip" by Jose Bautistato the crazy shot by Kawhi Leonard in last year's Eastern Conference Semifinals. Maybe there's something in the Pizza Pizza or Mr. Sub or whatever other restaurants you only know of because you've either been to Canada or seen their billboards during Blue Jays' games.
Whatever it is that gets into McEwen during the end of games, it's notable, and it's made him a commodity on the rise. Keep in mind, he's still a junior. He has a chance to provide leadership to what is supposed to be a talented incoming freshman class for Marquette next year. The way he's doing it at the end of games right now, I don't think any MU fan will have qualms him continuing to assert himself when things matter most.
COURTSIDE SPLINTERS
WE SHOULDN'T FORGET ONE THING: If McEwen's clutch play hadn't become a theme, or if the Xavier game had been a little more ho-hum, this blog would have dwelled upon Wojo's almost inexcusable mistake of not knowing the correct score and calling for Brendan Bailey to intentionally foul with 20 seconds left and the score tied near the end of regulation in the loss to Butler.
If you think "inexcusable" is a strong word, consider the nature of what I'll call the "analytical segment" of Marquette's fanbase — a group of fans who runs blogs and podcasts, is highly active on Twitter and, notably, is quite numbers-savvy. Even if you don't have time to digest them, just look at some of the charts Andrei Greska posts over on Paint Touches, or Alan Bykowski'swork at Cracked Sidewalks. Consider that just about every Anonymous Eagle game preview discusses "tempo-free stats," a staple of KenPom. These voices almost compete to be smarter and more analytical than each other when it comes to their online "coverage" of Marquette Basketball … and they're just fans. Not coaches, players or credentialed media, mind you. Just fans. Ones with big online presences, yes, but just fans.
When you have a fanbase this crazy over numbers, and a coach, with a scoreboard literally directly over his left shoulder at Hinkle Fieldhouse(both Wojo and the scoreboard are in the background of the linked picture), forgets the two most important numbers in a game — the score — you can't blame this rather loyal, important, vocal segment of fans if their frustration boils over, and continues to the morning after.
You also can't have your fans looking like they have a better understanding of the game's numbers than the staff. Marquette's fanbase has a uniquely strong understanding, but Wojo doesn't strike me as the most analytical guy. Some Marquette people like to think Wojo is a good fit because he's kept the program in good standing academically and ethically. But I start to wonder if he doesn't fit the personality of the fanbase. And, as it is, any coach won't feel like a fit when he loses games like that one.
DePAUL IS DeNEXT FOE: Marquette comes home to play the Blue Demons Saturday at 1 p.m. It's their only game this coming week.
