NEVER GIVE UP: Jane Cable On Organising a Charity Litfest
Author and Frost contributor Jane Cable writes her final blog about organising a charity litfest in aid of Words for the Wounded. The big weekend finally arrived… but was it a success? I am sitting on the floor of my study counting the money. For the second time. My husband, a chartered accountant, has already done it once but I don’t really believe he’s got it right. In front of me is £793 in…

What's come to be called "the nation's T. rex" now stands — though not in the United States. It's in Canada.
The nearly complete and much heralded tyrannosaurus skeleton — the first ever owned by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History — was discovered in 1988 by a Montana rancher, Kathy Wankel, and will eventually find a new home in a grand display in the Washington, D.C. museum.
But first, the old dinosaur bones are getting some dramatic — and anatomically correct — primping help from a staff of curators, blacksmiths and technicians in the workshop of Research Casting International, in Trenton, Ontario.
"It's pretty spectacular," says paleobiologist Matt Carrano, the Smithsonian's dinosaur curator, when he first catches sight of the fully-assembled 38-foot-long beast. "First of all, for the obvious reason," Carrano says. "It's an actual, real Tyrannosaurus rex, standing in front of me."
But what's even more dramatic, is that the T. rex isn't just standing there — it's been posed in the act of ripping up a flattened triceratops. That's the plant-eating, horned dinosaur with a bony fringe around the back of its neck that must have looked something like a frilly Elizabethan collar when the creature was alive.
