The power of kilts Posted By : michal costaminnego
"A man in a kilt is a man and a half." ~ Sir Colin Campbell Kilts, as we know them, were adapted from 16th century Highland garments that are believed to have been heavily influenced by the clothing worn by the Vikings and Normans that conquered the British Isles in the 8th Century. The word kilt is thought to come from the Danish word "kilte," meaning "to tuck up" which is believed to have been derived from "kjalta," meaning "to tuck up a garment or to secure hanging fabric with a belt" in Old Scandinavian and/or the Old Norse word "kjilt," meaning "pleated or folded fabric layers.

You Call It Dog Days, I Call It Freedom
I'm working on a story that, although incomprehensible, and so dim-witted as to need massive revision merely to rise to the level of drivel, is nonetheless good enough for summer. We are now adhering to summer standards. Any day now we'll be able to ratchet things down yet another level, to August standards. Yessssssss.
I love it when the bosses are so easily pleased. Look, an employee! Thank him for showing up! Fabulous job on that gibberish you produced today!
You know I'm a fan of summer: Am on the record on this. This has been a particularly good summer in DC because we've had plenty of excellent weather, with days of low humidity, kind of like Maine without all the gift shops.
Yesterday the humidity kicked in. Getting swampy out there. The sun rises ripe and juicy. It looks like my tomatoes. We're having a decent harvest this year -- the Cherokee Purples are particularly fine. (Shouldn't there be agate-type box scores in the newspaper every day detailing how the different types of heirloom tomatoes are doing? Will mention to superiors.) The blight has wiped out a few of my plants, however, and I'm now scheming about wholesale removal of tainted soil, maybe restructuring the entire yard. Dynamite the whole thing. Start from scratch. I could try for an English garden look, maybe. With little statues lurking in the bushes. Some cupids. I've long felt that I'm just one piece of evocative statuary away from regaining my self-respect. There could be stone paths winding amid the flowerbeds to a precocious fountain, and then, just beyond that, the Wiffle Ball Stadium with the Marlboro ad on the outfield wall.
It's all coming together in my head. There must be a cornfield, for obvious reasons ($4 a bushel!!!). A barn for my tractor. A swimming pool disguised as a rock quarry. Will need a rope swing dangling from an ancient oak. For aesthetic purposes I'll need an abandoned pickup truck rusting somewhere in sight, or maybe at the bottom of the pool. Definitely need a grocery cart down there (so obvious -- why even say it??).
I won't put in a tennis court because I think tennis is snobby, a sport for the quiche-eating, chablis-swilling set. And have you seen my backhand? Not for public display!!! But we'll need a putting green and maybe a small par-3 course, nothing fancy, just 9 holes that finish with a tee shot over the water to an island green like they have at Sawgrass. A modest clubhouse, with a long veranda with huge umbrellas shading the tables, and a stocked bar and maybe a video arcade and definitely a billiard room with one of those plush old Brunswick tables with netted pockets. The walls and floors and ceiling beams would need to be made of the rarest South African hardwoods. Big ol' jaguar head mounted on the wall. Or maybe a bluefin tuna. A real mancave, complete with endangered species. You want your visitors to suspect that the thing on the wall was the very last one.
Supervising all this construction is going to keep me away from the office, clearly. I can still work Tuesdays and Thursdays. That should keep everybody happy.

A reader named Andrej has a response to my article on leftovers:
' I read your article about leftovers and I want to give you some advice: Buy
less food!
'I was born in Slovakia in 1981 during communism. We never had too much to
eat, sometimes we had leftovers, but they were always eaten on the next
day. We never threw food away and I have never in my life seen my parents
do so. Their generation doesn´t even have the concept "throw away food".
'I first saw throwing away food in 2001 in France and I was slightly
schocked. I knew it existed, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.
Then I have lived for some time in Austria and Brussels and started to
throw food away sometimes. Now I am spending the summer in Washington D.C.
and I already "had to" throw some of my food away.
'You throw food away only when you have to much money and too much choice. I
know how it feels like walking in a supermarket with plenty of tasty food
to eat. The problem is, you can eat only as much as you eat and as you get
older your body needs less and less food.
'Have you seen the film "La grande bouffe" about four friends eating
themselves to death? If you haven´t, you should do so. In rich countries
people often eat food to compensate their everyday frustrations, it´s a way
of consumerism.
'The next time you have a party, you should buy only 75% or 50% of the food
you think you will need and you´ll have no problems with leftovers.'
[More to come]

K&L Gates in Merger Talks With Dallas' Hughes & Luce
Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis is in merger negotiations with Dallas-based Hughes & Luce, with plans calling for a possible combination of the firms by the end of the year. Peter Kalis, chairman and managing partner of K&L Gates, says there is "enormous amount of enthusiasm" for the deal within his firm. The firms went public with the talks in order to stave off the rumor mill, says Edward Coultas, managing partner of Hughes & Luce: "Once you put anything out among two lawyers, it's out."
Upset of Few Attorney Advertising Rules Could Signal Return of 'Heavy Hitters'
New York state's inability to defend some of the most controversial new guidelines on attorney advertising from constitutional challenge reflects the weak rationale for adopting the rules in the first place, opponents of broad restrictions say. And, they add, unless the state obtains a stay on the permanent injunction imposed on enforcement of several provisions in the guidelines, advertisements from legal "heavy hitters" and firms using similar monikers will soon be back on the airwaves.
U.S. Attorney Declines Judge's Request to Prosecute Lawyer for Contempt in Katrina Dispute
Alice Martin, the U.S. Attorney in Birmingham, Ala., has declined a federal judge's request to prosecute prominent Mississippi attorney Richard F. Scruggs and his law firm for criminal contempt in a Hurricane Katrina insurance dispute. In his June request, U.S. District Judge William M. Acker Jr. said he would appoint another attorney to handle the prosecution if Martin declined the court's request. Scruggs is suing State Farm on behalf of hundreds of Mississippi residents.
In a Time of Transition, Mayer Brown Looks to Its Trio of Leaders
Five years after its merger with Rowe & Maw made it one of the largest law firms in the world, Chicago-based Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw's controlling partners are rumored to be in a turf war for control, with the future of the firm resting in the hands of the London office's managing partner, Paul Maher. Meanwhile, at least 20 partner defections in New York, sagging profits in the New York and London offices, a controversial de-equitization of partners and a looming malpractice suit have rocked the firm.
Firm Lawyers Jump Ship for Quality of Life In-House
Corporations hiring new staff attorneys or general counsel are finding no shortage of qualified applicants. As pressure builds in law firms to, for example, pay for recent associate salary increases, a growing number of lawyers are looking toward in-house jobs as a desirable career path. "The number one thing you hear from lawyers is they're tired of billing their time," says consultant Melba Hughes. "They see a very different picture when they look at in-house counsel."
Retrial Ordered in Nine-Figure Fraud Case
An en banc Superior Court panel has ordered a new trial in a case in which a Pennsylvania trial judge awarded $102.7 million to one of the owners of a property company identified as being at the center of a Ponzi scheme. On the losing side of the lower court's verdict was Ernst & Young, a predecessor of which had been hired to help reorganize the property company and a group of related entities for the purposes of federal bankruptcy proceedings in the late 1980s.
Vick Drafts High-Profile Team as Proceedings Begin in Dogfighting Case
Fans of Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick say he has never had enough premier players around him. That was not the case Thursday, when legal proceedings began against him in a federal courthouse in Richmond, Va. Vick has hired a high-profile team of lawyers to fight charges that he participated in an illegal dogfighting enterprise. He faces up to five years in prison. U.S. District Court judge Henry Hudson set a trial date of Nov. 26 at Vick's arraignment.
Forceful Finish in Brocade CEO Options Backdating Trial
Everyone stayed in character for the last full day of the first stock option backdating trial. There was the sardonic Assistant U.S. Attorney, who delivered a closing argument emphasizing the simplicity of the fraud case against former Brocade Communications CEO Gregory Reyes. On the other side, Richard Marmaro, the Skadden Arps partner defending Reyes, ridiculed the argument offered by the prosecutor. Then there was the judge, who, true to form, pounded on each side by questioning their tactics.
U.S. Judge Permanently Blocks Canon Lawsuit in Costa Rica
Last week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen T. Brown in Miami permanently blocked a lawsuit in Costa Rica against Canon's Latin American division. The plaintiff, a local Canon distributor, argued the lawsuit had to be brought in the Central American country because of a Costa Rican law requiring certain business disputes to be settled there. The case is expected to end up before the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which could establish a precedent on how to interpret forum selection clauses in contracts.
Company Wins Rare Acquittal Against Price-Fixing Charges
A federal jury in Hartford, Conn., acquitted coated-paper maker Stora Enso North America Corp. of charges in a rare price-fixing trial. The U.S. Department of Justice indicted Stora Enso for conspiring to fix coated magazine paper prices, and the company faced a fine of up to $10 million. "Juries tend to relate more to individuals rather than corporations, so winning an acquittal for a corporation is a rare success," said the company's lead trial counsel, McDermott Will & Emery's David Rosenbloom.
Bingham McCutchen Expanding Tokyo Office
Bingham McCutchen has expanded its antitrust practice by adding a leading Japanese lawyer to its Tokyo office. Hiroshi Iyori comes to Bingham from Asahi Law Offices. Bingham, which has nearly 1,000 attorneys in 13 offices, said it will continue expanding the Tokyo office and plans to have more than 50 Japanese lawyers there by the fall.
Former Judge Wins Partial First Amendment Victory at 5th Circuit
The 5th Circuit has handed Robert Jenevein, a former Dallas County judge, a partial victory in his seven-year fight with the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct. The unanimous panel ruled that the commission violated Jenevein's First Amendment free-speech rights in its January 2003 public censure of him. However, it also held that the commission could censure Jenevein for holding a news conference in his courtroom -- while wearing his judicial robes -- to criticize a Dallas attorney.
'Hamdan' Lawyer to Head International Humanitarian Law Clinic
Former Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift, counsel to Salim Hamdan, the enemy combatant whose legal case, , made U.S. Supreme Court history, has been named acting director of the newly established International Humanitarian Law Clinic at Emory University School of Law. With Swift at the helm of the IHL clinic, law students will gain firsthand experience in the practice of humanitarian law by assisting organizations, law firms and military tribunals in prosecuting or defending individuals.
FBI Director Contradicts Attorney General as Democrats Widen Probe
A storm of perjury charges, subpoenas and political gamesmanship blew up and down Pennsylvania Avenue on Thursday as congressional Democrats widened what had started as a probe into whether President Bush's aides directed the firings of federal prosecutors. Justice Department officials sought to explain congressional testimony by FBI Director Robert Mueller that -- under protracted, hard-to-follow questioning -- seemed to contradict the sworn comments of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
9th Circuit Judges Still Wary of Splitting Court
Although congressional fervor to split the nation's largest federal appeals court may be waning, grumbling persisted at the 9th Circuit's annual judicial conference over repeated calls to divide the circuit. Among judges at the conference, one expressed concern that the U.S. Supreme Court may be signaling support for a split, while others criticized a newspaper opinion column that linked the circuit's size to the likelihood of "extreme" decisions.
