As if a story about women's butts couldn't get any more tantalizing, Lululemon CEO Christine Day more or less just asked the owners of the struggling workout-wear company's defective yoga pants to bend over in skin-tight, possibly see-through leggings and have someone inspect their butts. "Just putting the pants on themselves doesn't solve the problem," Day said on Thursday's earnings call. "The truth of the matter is the only way you can actually test for the issue is to put the pants on and bend over." That helps explain how piles of unacceptable inventory made their way into 17 percent of the once-giant retailer's stock in the first place. Traditional factory inspections likely don't include a human bend-over test and therefore wouldn't have detected the issue. Perhaps as a part of its new quality control measures, which Lululemon has decided to implement in light of the scandal, Lululemon will hire some professional bender-overs and butt inspectors to go with them.
Though Lululemon has pulled a bunch of the defective pants, expect this week's widespread panic to lead lots of women to ask the obvious question to friends in the yoga studio: Can you see my butt? Lululemon has also put store employees on "high alert," Day said in the earnings call — should any potential buyers need an extra set of eyes, apparently, or should there be some skin-tight, possibly see-through leggings in a Lululemon store. "It passed all of the basic metric tests and the hand-feel is relatively the same," Day explained, according to Bloomberg, "so it was very difficult for the factories to isolate the issue, and it wasn't until we got in the store and started putting it on people that we could actually see the issue."
Day's explanation of how the problematic product made it into stores arrived as revenues were expected to be thinner, too: The Canadian athletic apparel company confirmed on the earnings call that it plans on losing around $20 million next quarter because of the Too-Tight Yoga Pants Scandal of 2013. The high-end gym clothes retailer has also hired new quality control executives and is adding suppliers, Day said. Until then, however, it needs to prove its pants are worth $98 — and apparently it needs you to bend over to prove it. Women who bought the too-shear stretch-pants after March 1 get a full refund.

PARIS (Reuters) - French Olympic champion Nikola Karabatic and his brother Luka were among seven handball players handed six-match bans on Tuesday for their involvement in an illegal betting scandal.
The French handball league (LNH) said on its website (www.lnh.fr) that the Karabatic brothers, Olympic champion Samuel Honrubia, Mladen Bojinovic, Dragan Gajic, Primoz Prost and Issam Tej had been found guilty of having "directly or indirectly, placed bets on the result of the game".
The players, all members of the Montpellier team at the time, have been under formal investigation since October on charges of fraud and match-fixing. They have denied any wrongdoing.
According to the prosecutor, a total of 87,880 euros were placed in bets on a first division game between Montpellier and Cesson-Sevigne last May, 40 times the usual amount for this kind of match.
Most of the bets were placed around the same time of day and 99.94 per cent were put on struggling Cesson-Sevigne to lead at halftime, the prosecutor said.
If found guilty, the players risk prison sentences of up to five years and fines of 75,000 euros ($102,000). (1 = 0.7392 euros)

Whether it's by feeding prisoners green bologna or outfitting them in pink underwear, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., has always been good for a laugh.
Whether it's by feeding prisoners green bologna or outfitting them in pink underwear, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., has always been good for a laugh.
His peculiar sense of humor is on display now that an audio recording has surfaced of him yukking it up at a fundraiser in 2009 for an anti-illegal-immigration group in Texas.
According to The Associated Press, the sheriff made fun of the fact that federal authorities had opened an investigation of him on multiple fronts.
That investigation followed a civil rights probe of whether his deputies engaged in racial and ethnic profiling of Latinos as part of a crackdown on illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, the FBI is looking into allegations that the sheriff abused his power by investigating judges and other county officials in Arizona who dared to challenge him.
As I noted in a previous column, U.S. District Judge Murray Snow last year slammed Arpaio in a case involving a civil rights lawsuit from 2007. In the suit, sheriff's deputies were accused of racial profiling by using traffic stops as an excuse for immigration sweeps. Snow issued legal sanctions against Arpaio for destroying documents and also barred the sheriff and his deputies from detaining people for being in the country illegally. The judge also criticized deputies for circulating emails that "compared Mexicans to dogs."
About the same time, the Justice Department issued a report that accused the sheriff's office of having a "pervasive culture of discriminatory bias against Latinos."
In speaking to the group in Houston, Arpaio seemed proud of the fact that he was not cooperating with the federal investigations, and boasted that his deputies were still rounding up illegal immigrants.
"After they went after me," Arpaio told the group, Texans for Immigration Reform, "we arrested 500 more just for spite."
The crowd roared its approval. Of course. What's not to love about sworn law enforcement officers who are entrusted with the power to deprive people of their liberty acting out of spite?
I'm not surprised. Take it from someone who has written about Arpaio for 15 years, dating back to when I worked for The Arizona Republic - for Sheriff Joe, belligerent is just another big word.
In an interview with the AP, Arpaio contended that his comments were "not official, under-oath speeches" as much as casual remarks to a friendly crowd that supports his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. The only mistake, he said, was in using the wrong figure. He had said 500, but it was more like "thousands."
This story breaks just as the Supreme Court hears a legal challenge to Arizona's immigration law, which requires local and state police to do something they are not trained to do - enforce federal immigration law. The justices will consider whether such an attempt to regulate U.S. immigration policy is unconstitutional and leads to just the kind of abuses that have earned Arpaio the attention of federal authorities.
Immigration enforcement is not work for amateurs. There is nothing wrong with the practice as long as it is federal officials who are doing the enforcing. When local and state police take a stab at it, things are bound to get messy. People get profiled. Dark skin and Spanish accents become a shortcut around probable cause. And the civil rights of U.S.-born Hispanics are likely to be violated.
But here's the rest of the story, and it explains why Arpaio isn't afraid of the Obama administration. Both are partners in this endeavor. The Justice Department may be investigating Arpaio. But, in another part of the Cabinet, the Department of Homeland Security is enabling him. Immigration officials are taking full advantage of Arpaio's enthusiastic approach to rounding up illegal immigrants. After all, once these people are in custody, they're handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement where they're added to the monthly deportation figures that the administration touts to show critics that it's tough on illegal immigration.
And this part of the story isn't the least bit amusing.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.
Thursday, October 18, 2012
Up Dawson's Creek
Chantilly lace and a dimpled face. A hero is nothing if not dressed for the elements... and for the ladies. Whether astride a horse in a tasseled bolero jacket or cloaked in a velvet cape with an eye patch and an Andalusian flat-brimmed hat, a gussied up dandy is always the talk of the town. A slow saunter through the plaza and a "Howdy do?" can set loins aflame. A peer through a hood. A slow drag of a zipper. Flash of the pearly whites. Whisper, titter, giggle, flush. Whether a tempest blows or a rainstorm falls, our gallant Sir Galahad is always smartly attired. Gabardine, neoprene, silky sheen, bombazine. Brrr, suddenly I'm cold and damp. Here you are milady, a cloudy grey windbreaker to warm your skins, your heart, your soul. Let's recap, shall we?
We continue our tawdry Filipino tale soaked and shivering. The sky continues to cry as flesh begins to mold and pucker. The Messing (Matsing) tribe is down to two. Two wrinkly crinkly waterlogged misfits. Dr. Denise and Malcolm huddle together under the leaky thatch roof and wait. And wonder. And wait some more. Another sleepless night with teeth clacking gives way to the dawn and the flies. The type of flies that circle rotting corpses. Flies like turkey vultures. Patient yet pesky. Malcolm swats fruitlessly at the death buzzes while Denise flops on her back in the mud. Staring into the dribbling clouds she finally speaks, "I think we'll be split up. One of us on each tribe." Malcolm nods solemnly and lies fetal, still.
But don't you count them out just yet. Oh, don't you dare! Their skin may be grey and pasty, but this isn't a twosome that gives up. If they get separated, it's a fact of life that they'll have to deal with and rise above. Their best bet is to be as prepared as possible and ransack the camp for the Hidden Immunity Idol before they're picked up and relocated to a Dimples-sanctioned area. Denise and Malcolm quickly recover the clue and study it closely. Something in it makes them think of rice. I'm not sure what, but rice it is. So, Malcolm dives headfirst into the rice basket while Denise kicks the lid around with her foot. It has to be here somewhere! They dig and claw at everything within arm's reach only to come up empty handed. Malcolm mumbles, "I feel like a f*cking idiot."
They stand in stony silence for a moment. Eyes flitting this way and that. Malcolm's eyes keep focusing and refocusing on the rice lid. Or was it the camera? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Who can say? It doesn't matter really. All that matters is that Malcolm knocks that rice lid bitch over and gets the clue. The music swells merrily as the two hug and embrace. They do a little finger tickle dance and you know that Denise is genuinely happy for Malcolm. Happy yet worried of what is to come if they are indeed split up.
And this brings us to a Reward Challenge. A what? A Reward Challenge! Remember those things from yesteryear back from before we were forced to visit Rhode Island (Redemption Island) on a regular basis? Well, it's back. But first, drop your buffs. *takes off buff and stands naked* Oh, wait, I don't think Dimples was talking to me. Whoopsie! *wriggles buff back on* Denise and Malcolm, drop your buffs.
Dimples lobs a burlap sack to the last two Messings. Reach in and get your new buffs. Malcolm reaches in first, then asks Denise if she would prefer to have the buff he has pulled out. Aww, such a gentleman! Denise smiles and shakes her head. They'll stick with the buffs they've chosen. OK, let's see 'em. Malcolm, you will now join Fandango (Tandang).
Denise, welcome to KrabKlaw (Kalabaw).
Now that everyone has found a new home, let's get to this Reward Challenge. Today you'll be playing for a breakfast fit for a Dowager Countess. Crumpets, scones, cookies, biscuits, tea, dollops of sugar. For today's challenge, you will square off one on one with each person holding an Idol on a dinner plate. The first person to knock the Idol off of the others plate, wins. Survivors ready, go!
First up is the new kid, Malcolm, versus Jeff Kent. Malcolm squats and swats while Jeff Kent slides into home plate and nabs a run. 1-0 KrabKlaw.
Next up is fairy sprite Pixie (Dana) versus the towering onyx statue we call Artis. Pixie flutters hither and thither. Bobbing and weaving. Float like a butter-Pixie, sting like a bee! *plop* Artis wins. We are now tied.
The challenge continues with steady panther Blair (Lisa) getting side swiped by a mysterious stranger named Katie. Melty (Michael) then takes down Scurvy (Jonathan). Denise nabs an impressive win against RC while Jell-O Pop (Carter) tries, and fails, to do that "There's something on your shirt... bloop!" deflection with Prickly Pete.
The score is all tied up when we arrive at the Battle Of Dawson's Creek. It is Dawson versus Shakira (Abi-Maria). A less than civil war, I'll have you know. Eyes narrow and hips swivel in preparation. Shakira crouches and dares her opponent with her dulce de leche eyes. She spits insults like pine nuts when, out of nowhere, Dawson grabs her by the head and yanks her hair. Oh. Hell. No. A hip to the chin and you're going down Dawson! *swat swat, boom boom* Shakira scores for Fandango. Don't mess with Shaki, bitches. You will always lose.
After a few more rounds and Shakira's lingering words of "Don't play like a bitch!" ringing in our ears, it comes down to where we began: Malcolm v. Jeff Kent. Malcolm needs this win. He knows it, I know it, and you know it. And since we all know it and his hair is cascading and billowing, let's just give it to him. FANDANGO WINS REWARD!!!
Back at Camp Fandango, with a win finally under his belt, Malcolm is beaming and giggly. Everything is going his way now. It has stopped raining, he has an Idol, he's munching on a crumpet... our boy has his swag back! The tribe toasts each other with fistfuls of cookies and whoops the afternoon away. Everything is merry and bright, but Malcolm knows that he still needs to look for a crack to wedge himself into. *raises eyebrow* Umm.
While Malcolm goes in search of that crack, Blair is giggly and googly-eyed over the new tribe addition. He's smart, he's good looking, he's delightful. I get it, Blair. Believe me, I get it. Turn on that Warner charm! Shakira, too, is sparkly and coquettish. Her hip scarf jingle jangles as she shoves a muffin into Malcolm's mouth and coos, "Oh, enjoy it!" *raises eyebrow again*
But in a corner, a dark and worrisome corner of the shelter, stares black eyes. It is RC and she is not as thrilled as everyone else is with the strapping lad currently licking crumbs off his fingers. She watches closely as Malcolm and Prickly Pete bond over pecs and jock straps and boy things. It is over for her now. It is over and now all there is left to do is spin and twirl in the waves. Spin, twirl, dive, kick and tell us stories about how she was bullied in school. Wait, what? Esther Williams here was bullied which naturally calls for a frivolous and weird dance with the waves. *shrugs shoulders* Whatever floats your leopard print.
The ocean is a mysterious force though. Womanly and nourishing. Life giving and spontaneous. Something happens to RC out in that water. Something that tells her to rub her woman parts all over Malcolm. Was it Venus whispering to her from her half shell? Did she mutter truths through the foam? "Pssst, RC, go rub your boobs on Malcolm." Waiting for the perfect moment to follow Venus' instructions, RC juts out her chest and bides her time. It doesn't take long for her to find her "in" though because the new Prince Of Fandango has just made a fire in 2.5 seconds. Time to celebrate with a booby hug. RC grabs Malcolm from behind his shoulders and pulls him tight. The lilting voice of the goddess of the sea echos in her ears... Rub your boobs... rub your boobs. Not one to ignore a deity, RC grabs Malcolm by the face and motorboats him within an inch of his life. Amen.
While everything is titillating and kind of hot over at Fandango, the mood on KrabKlaw is anything but sexy. There is an eerie silence that we are not used to. What is it? The rain is still falling, but something, something, is missing. The fluttering! The gentle fluttering of fairy wings. Even in the rain, Pixie flutters. Only, now, she's all wilty and her wings look a little bit like dried up cricket legs. Even her saucer eyes are shrunken and sad. Her spiky elfin hair is droopy and slouched. Pixie tries to put on a brave face, but she can't shake the cold. Plus, she hasn't seen a leprechaun in like 2 weeks (leprechauns are known moisture haters - unless the moisture is whiskey) and do you have any idea what rain does to pixie dust? It cakes and it loses its sparkle.
Back home Pixie is a tough bitch. She races cars, builds motorcycles, and coaches a roller derby team on the weekends, but out here in the Filipino rain... she is but a drowned lightning bug. The pain grows sharper in her abdomen as the lining of her stomach begins to creep up her throat. Not wanting the tribe to see her splash her insides all over the place, Pixie runs into a cave and, sadly, our blonde imp pukes her guts out.
(You only need to watch the first 20 seconds to get the vibe)
And this is when the gloom and doom starts. The music, right out of a sweeping musical set in 19th century France. I'm not kidding. If you have the time to rewatch Pixie's demise, you will hear the opening of 'Look Down' from Les Miserables. Which is not really a good thing. It is foreboding and macabre. No harps or plucky melodies here. Nothing at all befitting a fairy.
But like any good tragedy, we need a hero. We need a Bonnie Tyler hero to sweep in and save us from ourselves, save us from the darkness. Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy...
Enter Dimples. Hello there sir. *blushes and giggles* Yes, we have a dying Pixie, but aren't you looking smart today in your little windbreaker? Is that a poly-vinyl blend? I mean, yeah she's in bad shape, Dimples. Go get Ramona. You all remember Ramona, don't you? The Kiwi medic who sends everyone to the morgue. Only, Ramona isn't here today. Today we get Doogie. Doogie Howser, M.D.
Doogie orders Pixie to lie on her back while he pokes around her "tummy". Yup, that's a medical term - tummy. He squeezes her big toe and asks, "Does this hurt?" Pixie replies, "The pain is in my stomach." Doogie scratches his head and pauses to think. He then pinches Pixie's nose and asks, "How does that feel?" Pixie replies, "Stop it!" and then she swats his hand away. Doogie slowly rises to stand, "It is just as I suspected. She has a tummy ache. It probably won't kill her in the next 12 hours." And there you have it.
Now, it's up to Pixie to decide if she wants to stay in the game. Since that crackerjack doctor said she might live until sundown, Dimples says to Pixie, "It's on you. What do you want to do?" Pixie's lower lip starts to tremble as she covers her eyes and rolls over. Through tears, she mutters that she can't stay. She can't be out there sick anymore. *wipes eyes and sniffles* Dimples then leans over and with crouched awesomeness begins a slow unzipping (It reminds me of that book House Of Leaves - "the longest unzipping of my life.") where he gallantly whips off his windbreaker and places it gently over a shivering Pixie. *fans self* He then leans over and whispers in her ear, "The pain is going to go away. Let's finish this adventure on your terms, ok?" *stares into the distance* I'm sorry, I know Pixie is like dying and whatnot, but was that incredibly hot or what?!
And then Pixie's tribe descended on her like a tribe of cannibals. Well, they did lose the Reward Challenge after all. They were hungry! Rest in peace, Pixie. You will be missed.
And this brings us to the big Immunity Challenge. Come on in guys! For today's challenge you will race through a series of obstacles to untie a series of knots that will release a drawbridge. Once you've released your drawbridge, one person will chop a rope to release bamboo puzzle pieces with letters on them. Two puzzle solvers will then use those letters to solve a phrase. Since Fandango has one extra person, Shakira will sit out. Survivors ready, go!
As the challenge begins, the tribes burst forth and down the slide. Jell-O Pop and Melty zip and fly from slide to creek. He may be a quiet chain smoking beret wearing beatnik poet, but that Jell-O Pop is also springy and quick like a gazelle. Katie, however, is not. Athletic looking on the outside, I think she might be made of molasses on the inside because those KrabKlaws, Scurvy and Jeff Kent, literally have to carry her up a tiny ant hill while the Fandangos pull into a lead. Jell-O Pop is left standing all by himself on a platform waiting for the rest of his tribe to show up. Which, is as good a time as any to pen to a new poem...
My pants are red
My eyes are blue
This stranger, Katie
Is slow like glue.
Hey, I never said he was a good poet. He's no Hoops (Semhar).
Once that carcass Katie is finally over the ant hill, the tribes flit across the nets and into their giant drawbridge walls. RC and Artis work on the ropes for Fandango while Jell-O Pop and Denise get untying for KrabKlaw. Denise proves to be a valuable new member to KrabKlaw as she and Jell-O Pop quickly finish their top ropes before Fandango and manage to make up some lost time from that maple syrup person Katie.
The lead is short and fleeting as the Fandangos tear through their wall and Prince Malcolm gets to work chopping his rope. He unleashes his puzzle pieces just as KrabKlaw drops their bridge. Jeff Kent makes a couple of swats at his rope but is plum tuckered out. Scurvy takes over and quickly annihilates it.
We now have Prickly Pete and Blair at the puzzle for Fandango and Dawson and Scurvy at the puzzle for KrabKlaw. The Fandangos work in tandem, a joint venture. You give a little, I give a little. But over on KrabKlaw, it is a different story. Scurvy places the puzzle pieces down and then, when his back is turned, Dawson rescrambles them again! And in what is one of those nail biting finishes where the music pumps and your heart begins to race... FANDANGO WINS IMMUNITY!!!
With the challenge done and a fancy new loss hanging heavy over their camp, the KrabKlaws are in a sullen mood. Katie quickly apologizes to everyone and takes the blame before retreating to the shelter where she can sniffle quietly to herself. Well, at least she's not full of lies and chocolate chips like Cookie (Angie) was. At least she knows she sucks horribly. I guess that's something. Dawson, too, knows Katie sucks, but they're in that Vagina Alliance together and Dawson is 100% certain that Katie is safe this week. Plus, Denise is new. She's too new. And new equals bad to Dawson.
So while Dawson is busy wiping her hands clean of having to worry about anyone but Denise going home tonight, Denise has stolen away with Jeff Kent to make her pitch. She tells Jeff Kent plainly that she didn't come out here to see Dimples at Tribal every night. Jeff Kent raises an eyebrow in a pleasant surprise. The scene goes quiet as Jeff Kent pauses, listens, makes the wind up and lets his ball go... "So, you want to be with us? You'll be the fourth." And speaking of four, this calls for another four-fingered handshake. Welcome aboard Denise!
Jeff Kent rounds the bases and heads back home to report this new development to his Manly Men Alliance. With Jell-O Pop and Scurvy huddled together, Jeff Kent tells them he has just recruited Denise to the team. The big hairy question now is who to send home: Katie or Dawson? Scurvy is leaning towards Dawson, but Jell-O Pop disagrees. He sits under a tree wearing a corduroy blazer with suede patches on the elbows and says one word. One simple word. "Katie." And then he disappeared into a cloud of cigarette smoke and incense.
With nothing decided and the question still remaining, the KrabKlaws take an afternoon siesta underneath the palm fronds and chicken wire. When all of a sudden, through the peaceful sounds of nature burbling all around them, a voice screeches out something odd. "Maybe I should date an athlete," giggles Dawson. Jeff Kent rubs one finger over his chin and asks, "Well, what do you consider an athlete?" Dawson replies, "Football, basketball, hockey, swimming, diving, gymnastics, curling... anything but stinky baseball. Baseball sucks! A bunch of grown guys standing around. Blech!" *smacks self in head* If you'll remember, gentle readers, Dawson knows Jeff Kent's big bad baseball secret and she was supposed to be keeping it locked up and tucked away until just the perfect moment to use it against him. I guess this is that perfect moment. Only "using it against him" shouldn't be like a boomerang that whips back and smacks you in the face.
And this brings us to Tribal Council. Dimples instructs the neophytes to go ahead and pick out a torch and get some fire. Jell-O Pop stands sulkily next to his torch and simply flicks one of his lit Sobranie's down into the torches mouth. Schwoom! Flames.
Dimples begins by waving a tiny tuft of blonde hair in front of everyone. "Dawson, how does it feel knowing that Pixie is gone?" Dawson replies that Pixie leaving hit them harder than the rain ever could. Jell-O Pop nods to himself, whips out a leather bound journal, and jots down the line for a future poem. Hey, it was a good line and we all know what a crap poet Jell-O Pop is when left to his own devices.
Scurvy agrees that losing Pixie was devastating. He insists that had she stayed, they would have won today. Hearing this, Katie bites her lip and I wondered for a second if she might cry. But she didn't. She called herself an idiot and took all the blame. Hmm. There's something about her weirdo honesty that is refreshing. Dawson is serving up lines about boosting camp morale, Jell-O Pop is stewing silently, and Jeff Kent sits with a furrowed brow rubbing his face nonstop. Yet Katie, she just blurts. There's a nickname in there somewhere... hidden. I'll keep digging and maybe it'll reveal itself.
Dimples then asks Dawson point blank why the tribe should keep her. With a flurry of giggly hands and blushing cheeks, she tells Dimples that she loves getting to visit with him. If only they could steal away and share some quality time together. Back off Dawson! Time to vote.
In a vote that was strange and probably could have been avoided had a certain someone not announced that baseball was the suckiest game ever, Dawson is the 5th person voted out of Survivor Philippines.
Normally, I'd end this here and be on my way, but wait... there's more! With a twinkle in her eye at being a breath away from Dimples, Dawson begins a slow eye seduction. Two glassy orbs undressing Dimples by the firelight. Unbuttoning, unzipping...
... killing with an ice pick and keeping the body in a basement freezer... Gah!
With the memory of being voted out quickly forgotten, Dawson knows what she has to do. She may never get this chance again. She may never be this close, be this near, be this... SMOOCH! Surprised and pregnant now, Dimples gasps quickly and shakes off the lip attack. Dawson, you are completely nuts, but I admire your gumption. You got balls girl. Big swinging balls. But if you put your hands on my Dimples again, that hip punch you got earlier from Shakira will seem like a loving tap.
So, what did you guys think of last night's episode? Will RC motorboat Malcolm away from Prickly Pete? How much longer can Katie possibly last? If you keep Dimples on ice, will he still smell as sweet? Comment it out bitches and have a great day!
Thanks to Rob Beasley for my lovely Survivor photos.

That love-stare at the end was so intense!ReplyDelete
I didn't know which way it was going to go, and I feared for poor Dimple's life. Has any (survivor) ever hugged and kissed Dimple's dimples before?
Great blog this week.
"Jeff Kent rounds the bases and heads back home"...will these baseball comments ever get old? No is my guess.ReplyDelete
I also enjoyed "billowing hair" and "sobluesohot". Little gems.
Yes, it was very hot when Dimples said "let's finish this on your terms" to Pixie.
Great recap. You never disappoint. I forget though, how did Jello-O POP get his nickname? Can someone refresh my memory please?Replies
Ah yes, Jell-O Pop was only really half explained here.Delete
Umm, it started on my preseason write up of him. I think I said he was boring like Jell-O. And not even Jell-O with pineapple chunks inside (or something like that). Well, Carter got wind of it and wasn't very happy with me. He unfriended me on Facebook so, of course, I ranted about it and called him out. This was all before the first episode btw.
ANYHOW, on Twitter some people told him it was a bad idea to piss off a Survivor blogger and I offered him a Jell-O Pop as a truce. He told me he didn't like Jell-O Pops, but then he sent me a lovely nipple-centric message on Facebook and we've been besties ever since.
The lesson here is... you catch more Survivors with Jell-O - or something like that.

That tribal council last night was really weird! I felt like I didn't even know who those people were. And it was so unusual not seeing Dreads and his fellow Messings in those tribal council seats.ReplyDelete
Anyway, great stuff Lala, especially:
"Not one to ignore a deity, RC grabs Malcolm by the face and motorboats him within an inch of his life. Amen."
"Dimples then leans over and with crouched awesomeness begins a slow unzipping...where he gallantly whips off his windbreaker and places it gently over a shivering Pixie. *fans self* He then leans over and whispers in her ear, "The pain is going to go away. Let's finish this adventure on your terms, ok?" *stares into the distance*"
And, "Denise has stolen away with Jeff Kent to make her pitch...The scene goes quiet as Jeff Kent pauses, listens, makes the wind up and lets his ball go... Welcome aboard Denise! Jeff Kent rounds the bases and heads back home to report this new development to his Manly Men Alliance."
Anyone else find it odd that Jeff Kent was carving out a baseball bat in the wood chopping portion of the immunity challenge?ReplyDelete
"But if you put your hands on my Dimples again, that hip punch you got earlier from Shakira will seem like a loving tap".....LOLReplyDelete
Glad the tribes are finally down to 2 and now there are 1w2 remaining, be interesting if they merge next week.
Great recap again, it was a awesome episode and you obviously had so much to work with. Thanks again Miss Lala.
First... I am convinced that someone, the cameraman, a producer, someone told the Messings where the idol was. Finding it allows for so many more scenarios down the line with them, so it was a must. And since only Denise knows, I wonder if she'll hold that until the merge and then double cross the Krabklaw guys and hook back up with Malcom (are we calling him Prince now?)ReplyDelete
I missed most of the chit chat after the reward at Fandango so I'll have to go back and re-watch, but Pete letting drop that he had an idol was just stupid. I know he wanted to get Malcom on his side, but that was just stupid, especially when HE doesn't have it, Shakira does, and I don't think she's gonna give it up, even if she did shake hands with Pete, cross her heart and hope to die. And I'd let RC rub up on me all day (and night) long!
And which one of you out there was saying they don't believe in Pixies? BOO on you!
Did anyone else hear CBS allow the word "f-cking" through their censors? It was after the immunity challenge and our dear Jeff Kent was discussing the loss with Scurvy. I'm 99.99% sure that he said he was "f-cking furious". I thought to myself, surely CBS would not allow such a mistake. I mean, nip slip during the Super Bowl? Sure thing. But certainly not an f-bomb. But, alas, I backed up the old DVR not once but twice and I'm afraid CBS missed the bleep for our ace pitcher. Certainly not the worst word any of us has ever heard, but it makes me smile a little when a major network makes a mistake like this.ReplyDelete
- yours trulyOctober 18, 2012 at 8:45 PM
Another fine followup from my favorite fickle bitch. You have some issues girlfriend and I'm just jealous. Dimples is a married man you know. When will you be on his talk show?ReplyDelete
The loss of Pixie was a non event since I knew little about her. Sorry I didn't view your introductions prior to the show. I'm glad she made the right choice in defiance of doctor's confidence that she might not die in 12 hours. "Hang in there Pixie Bitch, I accept cash, bank check, money order, and all major credit cards. $250 for this bogus consultation, make an appointment and we hope to see you in a couple of weeks." She was the torpedo that sank the still deflated Zodiac waiting to be christened the SS Vagina 2.
Nice screen capture Rob provided for the Shakira Dawson duel. I thought I saw Shakira go in for the always effective nipple twister. I didn't know about the hair grab until Shakira was moaning about it. Will Dimples continue to ride her ass for sitting out almost all the challenges so far?
Carter is still an unknown to me, there might be Jello in there somewhere. If Katie looks bad again in the challenge you could try out Katkantdo. Another personal who cares, this man's scale scored them equal in attractivenes with a slight edge to Dawson for potential high jinx. I thought the baseball tease was perfect needling that even Kent appreciated.
Has anyone else noticed that Penner in his theatrics has modeled himself after Alan Alda in Mash? Maybe it's just me.
I'm waiting patiently for the pace to pick up. The promos look promising for the hand to hand combat challenge that always brings out the worst in people. Something has to drag some personality out of the many still left in the shadows.Replies

I'm surprised you didn't mention that idiotic speech Dawson made at the end about Jeff Kent owing her big time and she wants a motorcycle, a helmet and a pink gun. What a dumb ass. Great blog as usual.ReplyDelete
- TravellinManOctober 19, 2012 at 12:35 AM
I loved the jaw-dropping reaction to the lack of Pixie at the challenge by Fandango.. I was convinced that there was no way they would have even noticed her missing from the team.. but maybe the absence of the glitter trail was too much of a give-a-way..ReplyDelete
- DiabolicalOctober 19, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Another great recap Lala.ReplyDelete
It pissed me off when, after the reward challenge, Penner bemoaned getting Denise instead of Malcolm at the merge and stated that they would have won otherwise. She won her face-off...she couldn't have done better. Vagina hater.
Did you notice Denise's love of the phrase "you guyses" when pluralising "guys"? It's annoying and cute at the same time.
- AnonymousOctober 19, 2012 at 1:55 PM
Great Blog Lala!ReplyDelete
Of course, I'm totally in love with Malcolm, and I'm all over Sons of Anarchy right now, does anyone else see the resemblance of Jax and Malcolm?
I'm not sure about Shakira, I like that she is spicy, but there is just SOMETHING about her. It could be, as Jeff pointed out, and I was just beginning to notice....she doesn't play in the competitions. She takes herself out, not the tribe taking turns or anything. How can she be on Survivior and not want to be in all the games? I was hoping Fandango would lose the immunity challenge just so Shakira would have to defend why she doesn't join in the fun. When Fandango was getting the immunity idol and the tribe was whooping it up, I (talking to the TV) told her to sit her ass down, she did nothing to contribute.
Thanks for the laughs Lala!

Dimples at the immunity challenge:ReplyDelete
"Katie really slowin' them down" Oh please, my pretty Katie hurry.
Dimples: "Katie once again last one over. Katie struggling!" Okay, Dimps I think we got it.
Later at the puzzle table, Dimples: "Krabklaw suffering from the beginning with Katie."
Now just being plain mean: "Still goes back to the first leg of this challenge when Katie could not get her synthetic funbags over the mound."
WTF, enough is enough Dimples. Did Latie Katie rebuff your advances to make monkey love in the jungle or something? Why are you trying to turn us and her tribe against Katie?
Oh my lovely Katie
Why for Dimples hate thee
Your Pageant smile, eyes of blue
My little friend longs for you
As now a Survivor fan
As ever a hetero man
My heart professes its sorrow
That you will part tomorrow
It doesn't hurt that all the Katies at my high school were major babes. Funny how that works with names. Seriously, ever know a Jennifer who wasn't totally banging? But I digress. Katie better hope the law enforcement agency she wants to join has a huge diversity hole to fill and doesn't require any physical ability beyond looking hot in a tight fitting police shirt. That's right, you don't need to wear the bullet proof vest Katie. Your silicone will stop the bullets. Giggle-giggle. I know your days in the Philippine jungle are numbered, but I will cherish our few final Wednesday nights together. Perhaps, we can call you Meter Maid in the meantime.
This silly photo below makes the point quite well. Apparently, Brisbane, Australia still has these sexy Meter Maids in gold bikinis, tiaras and sashes parading around the streets by the beach. God love the Aussies! As an aspiring policewoman and former Miss Delaware, this very well could be the perfect job for our not so physical Katie.

Dawson, Dawson, Dawson.ReplyDelete
I don't want to wait for our torches to be over,
I want to know right now what will it be.
I don't want to wait for our torches to be over,
Will it be the annoying one or will it be Katie?
We know the answer. Regardless of how stupified you looked after the vote, I got the impression that the Survivor storytellers only scratched upon your overall annoyance. Oooh, you figured out all by yourself that the guy in your hut is the 2000 Most Valuable Player. Boy, I could really use you to get my orange slice in a pick-up game of Trivial Pursuit. NOT!
Well for your stubborn interference with Scurvy at the puzzle table and fucking with Jeff Kent (MVP), can you really be surprised? Those boys are the Alpha dogs of your tribe you fool! Line-up to get a whiff of their asses if you want to stay in this game.
Then your parting speech was a very reflective farewell: "That baller better make it rain Benjamins on this bitch". Dawson, I am afraid you deserve nothing more than a two slice toaster. In the words of Don Pardo: "Thanks for playing our game, silly girl!"
- AnonymousOctober 23, 2012 at 12:24 AM
Totally on board with the Alan Alda/Penner thing. I have for several years thought that his voice sounds exactly like Alan Alda. Speaking of Scurvy, I am surprised that nobody commented on the sexual comments that he kept making to Pixie. "Just get naked under the blanket and I will keep you warm" and "Just put your head in my lap".ReplyDelete
I, too was frightened for Dimples' life with that total psycho stare that Dawson gave. AWKWARD......
OK, I know that I am just jealous but WTF was with Dimples DOING with Pixie? He was pulling the equivilent of RC and Malcolm. I thought he was going to dry hump her in the zodiac and did anyone else notice that he has his hand on her ass as she lay there curled up in a ball?
Ummm....sign me up for next season so I can be fondled by Probst.
Too bad Dawson didn't know that little nugget of information or she would have taken herself out of the game the first day just to be able to make sweet love to Dimples (that is what she would tell her psychotic friends--really it just means that she was able to put her head on his shoulder). Regardless, I think Dimples needs to see any attorney about obtaining a restraining order........
I'm behind on reading blogs, but I love everyone of them--and can't wait to hear what you have to say about last night's non-challenge.ReplyDelete
Hey, did you notice that when the 3 guys were trying to decide to vote out Katie or Dawson that Jeff Kent dropped the F-Bomb?
And more notably--CBS let it through? **Fairy Dust**
Oh, the things that make a girl happy!

Can You Hear the Higgs? - GeekMom
Have you ever wondered what one of the greatest scientific discoveries of our time sounds like? Wonder no longer! After the announcement of the Higgs boson discoveries last week, researcher Domenico Vicinanza immediately went to work sonifiying the data. Now that the general populous can finally hear what the Higgs boson evidence sounds like, hopefully all of us can understand the data leading to this momentous discovery. Could the mysteries of the universe be holding a waltz beat? How about a jazz rhythm? R&B? Pop? Country? Turns out the score has a distinctly latin flair, similar to a habanera beat.

Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who has been in failing health for the past year, has been hospitalized in intensive care for cancer, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The 79-year-old was taken to hospital in July for "dehydration" and underwent surgery a month later for an undisclosed illness.
The Lakers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It was not clear what form of cancer Buss is fighting.
Buss purchased the Lakers in 1979 and has been in charge of the franchise for 10 of their 16 National Basketball Association championships.
Buss used to be a regular fixture Lakers games but has not been seen at any contests this season.
He has handed over control of the franchise to his son, Jim, who looks after the basketball side of the club, while his daughter Jeanie oversees the business end.
The Lakers have the highest payroll in the NBA at $100 million.

The Monarchs fall to 4-4. Down by 13 at halftime and by as many as 14 (48-34) with 16:00 left in regulation, ODU roared back to outscore the Eagles, 22-8 and take a 57-56 lead on a layup by Aaron Bacote (Hampton, VA.). ODU held NCCU to just 20 points in the second half, while scoring 33. In the second half, the lead changed four times. Jordan Baker (Hampton, VA.) put the Monarchs up 61-58 after two free throws, but Karamo Jawara nailed a trey with 3:18 left to tie the game at 61-61. Jawara then came back to score on a layup to give NCCU a 63-61 lead. The Monarchs came back to tie the score on Batten's driving layup at 63-63 with 1:35 left. NCCU missed a couple of shots late and the Monarchs played for a last shot, but Batten's 12-footer rimmed out and the Eagles could not get another shot off. In the overtime, ODU took the lead at 65-63 on a Batten layup, but Jawara hit a three-pointer for a 66-65 lead. After an ODU miss, Reggie Groves scored to make it 68-65, then Jay Copeland got a break a way layup to put NCCU up 70-65. Keenan Palmore's (Stone Mountain, GA.) basket cut the lead to three, 70-67, but Jawara hit two free throws, and Jordan Parks scored to put the Eagles up nine, 76-67 before Batten's final basket for a 76-69 decision. Joining Batten in double figures were Keenan Palmore with 13 points and four assists, while Aaron Bacote added 12 points, three assists and six rebounds. ODU outrebounded the Eagles, 40-35 with Batten leading the way with 10, followed by freshman Denzell Taylor (Ontario, Canada) with seven and Richard Ross (Wichita Falls, TX.)and Aaron Bacote with six each. NCCU, who beat NC State last week had four players in double figures led by Alfonzo Houston with 16, followed by 14 points each from Karamo Jawara, Jeremy Ingram and Jordan Parks. Emanuel Chapman dished out nine assists. The Eagles shot .517 (31-60) from the floor (.654 17-26 in the first half), while ODU shot .446 (29-65) from the field.

Meeting with Senators and Representatives, and/or their staff, is a terrific way for our Eye CAN advocates to communicate with policymakers on important issues. Through these visits you can educate Congressabout your concerns, make yourself available as a resource, and establish a relationship that can prove mutually beneficial over time. It is a great idea to build a relationship before you need it.
Note: meetings can be conducted at Congressional offices in Washington, DC, or "at home" in district offices, and can result in support for Prevent Blindness America's public policy priorities.
Meeting Tips:
1. Prepare, be on time (and leave when your time is up). Give yourself plenty of time to go through security, find your way to the office, and announce yourself to the receptionist. Open the meeting by thanking the Member of Congress/staffer for his or her time. Introduce yourself as a constituent and that you are part of the Eye CAN network.
2. Be brief and clear. Cover no more than three topics. If asked a question to which you do not know the answer, acknowledge that the question is a good one and say you will follow up later with the answer. Make sure to include a personal story or real-life illustration. Personal stories are more easily remembered than statistics.
4. Be polite and listen carefully to the Senator or Representative/staffer's views and comments. Have a conversation. Even if you disagree, it is very important to be courteous - avoid being argumentative or threatening. Much of advocacy is about building and maintaining relationships over time.
5. Ask for a response – respectfully. Stay on message and on topic as politely as possible, and be sure to make your "ask." Ask directly and politely for the policymaker's views and position on the issue and what he/she plans to do about it. If the Senator or Representative truly is undecided, or the staffer is not familiar with the Member's position on the issue, do not force the issue. Reiterate your interest, offer to answer any questions or provide additional information, and request a written follow-up letter from the Senator or Representative, once a decision has been made.
6. Bring a short set of materials with you to leave behind at the end of your meeting. Do not give the materials to the Member/staffer until the close of the meeting or he/she may be distracted and only listen to you with one ear. Early in the meeting indicate that you have materials to leave behind. Be sure you to follow through on any promises of additional information.
7. Summarize your requests and any responses the Senator/Representative/staffer has provided to ensure that you are clear on where they stand on the issues. Express appreciation for their time, interest, and courtesy, and indicate that you're looking forward to following up with the office.
8. Close the Meeting Successfully. Make sure you give your home/personal contact information, and get a business card from the Member of Congress/staffer, so that you know how to reach him/her.
9. Share your experience on our Eye Did page. Other Eye CAN members want to hear about your efforts and successes! Encourage others to take action just like you.
10. Follow up with a thank you note or email. Your follow-up note should express appreciation for the time and consideration extended to you during your meeting. Repeat your request(s) and ask for a response from the office. Follow up with answers or information the office requested of you. Keep in touch with the Member of Congress and his/her staffer to maintain and strengthen your relationship.
Schedules are very fluid, and Senators and Representatives, and their staff, are often pulled away for last-minute, unplanned activities that are not known in advance. As such, your meeting could be delayed or bumped or you may meet with a different person than expected. Do not take any last minute meeting changes personally, and make sure you are always gracious and flexible.
You can reach your Members of Congress in the following ways:
Phone through the U.S. Capitol switchboard at 202.224.3121
E-mail your U.S. Representative through: http://www.house.gov/writerep
E-mail both of your U.S. Senators by looking up their contact information through: http://www.senate.gov

A timetable for the preparation of Aberdeenshire's next planning blueprint over the coming year was approved by councillors this week.
Members of the Infrastructure Services Committee (ISC) approved the latest Local Development Plan Scheme at a meeting in Aberdeen.
It sets out the work taking place this year to prepare the next incarnation of the plan, which will guide planning decisions in the area from 2017 to 2023.
Speaking after the meeting, ISC chairman Peter Argyle said this edition of the Development Plan Scheme is particularly important.
"It sets out the timetable for the production of the 'Proposed Aberdeenshire Local Plan 2016'," he explained.
"This allows communities and other stakeholders plenty of time to organise and plan activities to scrutinise the proposed plan and come to a view on whether to submit formal objections."
The Local Development Plan (LDP) sets out a framework for where new houses and businesses can be built.
Aberdeenshire Council produces an LDP at least every five years, with the current plan approved for the period 2012 to 2017.
The LDP 2016 will set out where development can take place from 2017 to 2023, and will also give a strong guide to where development should occur in the period beyond this.
Significant consultation has already taken place as the next plan is produced. The Council received over 1,800 responses to a consultation on the "Main Issues Report", which highlighted areas where the current plan could change.
The council will be considering the representations over the course of the next four months before instructing officers as to what should be contained in the Proposed Local Development Plan.
Meetings of area committees in May and June will provide a clear indication of the content before it is considered for approval by the full council in November.

Researchers Develop New Photosensitizers For Cancer Therapy
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., May 11, 2007 – New Mexico Tech researchers have developed a new agent to treat certain cancers by using the unique light-emitting properties of specific nanoparticles to deliver tiny, yet therapeutic, dosages of antibodies and reactive oxygen to individual tumor cells or clusters of cells, without affecting surrounding tissue.
The newly developed photosensitizers, which work as light-sensitive drugs when used with established photodynamic therapy procedures, are described in a research paper published in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS).
Unlike previous photosensitizers which have been used in photodynamic therapy for cancers, the new design of these versatile photosensitizers uses infrared light as an irradiation source, a technique that is being touted as "the biggest advancement in photodynamic therapy in the last ten years."
New Mexico Tech chemistry assistant professors Peng Zhang and Wim Steelant, along with Tech students Manoj Kumar and Matthew Scholfield, are the university researchers cited as co-authors of the JACS article, titled "Versatile Photosensitizers for Photodynamic Therapy at Infrared Excitation."
The design of the novel photosensitizers is based on using nanoparticles, or materials in the nanometer (10 to the negative 9th power) range, with unique "photon upconversion" properties.
Specifically, the photon upconverting nanoparticles (PUNPs) developed by the Tech researchers convert lower-energy light to higher-energy light after being exposed to infrared wavelengths of light.
In addition, antibody molecules specific to the cancer cells were attached to the nanoparticles' surfaces, serving as a guide to direct the PUNPs toward the target cancer cells.
"Infrared has the ability to penetrate human tissue three to five times deeper than other wavelengths of visible light typically used in photodynamic therapy, which is a highly desirable feature for applying photodynamic therapy to many cancer treatments," says Zhang. "However, the photo-sensitive drugs being used in the previous experiments, unlike the new photosensitizers we've developed, usually could not be excited by infrared light."
"The use of these photosensitizers is a very big advancement in photodynamic therapy," adds Steelant. "With this new technology, we can target specific cancer cells, down to a very small, but well-defined spot. . . . Our only limiting factor encountered so far is our lack of ultra-high-powered microscopes which would allow us to see down to the individual lipids or proteins in the cancer cells themselves."
In their ongoing research, the New Mexico Tech scientists have successfully used PUNPs to detect and kill breast cancer cells, and they plan on expanding their study to include prostrate cancer cells as well.
Zhang and Steelant are joined in their promising oncology study by Séverine van Slambrouck, a post-doctoral researcher at New Mexico Tech who has become adept at culturing breast cancer cells in the university's Laboratory of Biochemical and Biomedical Research.
"Severine's work is crucial to our study, since she can pinpoint cancer cells from a tumor that's localized to the metastasizing phase, where the cancer begins to spread," Steelant points out. "Therefore, we are able to see in great detail where the cancer is, and where and how fast it's spreading."
The photosensitizer research study being conducted by Zhang and his colleagues at New Mexico Tech is funded through start-up financial and logistical support provided by the research university in Socorro, as well as by a research grant from the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health.

Under FATCA rules, foreign financial institutions (FIs not operating in the US or FFIs) are required to report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about any American client data with which they have direct or indirect contact.
In July 2012, the IRS issued the first model for an Intergovernmental Agreement (Model IGA) for complying with FATCA provisions. It followed up with the final FATCA regulations on January 17, 2013. The first regulatory compliance deadline for FFIs is January 2014.
FATCA covers various types of financial products (representing US and and non US-sourced income) as well as individual and entity accounts with specific requirements. The definition of a US client includes several classifications such as persons with US citizenship, US residents, and persons with a permanent permit to stay in the US.
Complying with FATCA may require significant efforts in terms of implementation, and investments and resources in 2013 and 2014 in operational processes, information systems, training and communication, and customer relationship management, as well as the compliance and tax functions.

Which contribute page?
2. Re: Is the contribute page a useful starting point?Dan Allen May 17, 2012 3:18 AM (in response to Lincoln Baxter III)
Though the question isn't just whether that page is useful by itself. The question is whether that page is what you expect when you click on Get Involved. Is it useful to help you get involved or is it just too broad and generic.
Then specifically ask yourself whether it's useful if you click it when you are on a project page, like JBoss Tools.
3. Re: Is the contribute page a useful starting point?David Hladky Jun 4, 2012 9:16 AM (in response to Dan Allen)
Well, I checked it and I think it could be useful. However, I think it might be better, if the last two paragraphs - to join the user group and to discuss a new feature should be the first not the last on that page. IMO the discussion, whether some feature is or is not a good idea is much more important than writing a blog or translating. Most of the projects have people, that could possibly do the programming, translating etc., but a person with any level of knowledge might come up with the cool idea.

1. Long is now shorter. Rand Morrison commented that "Long is shorter than it used to be," at the Bulldog Reporter 2010 Media Relations Summit.
PR Takeaway: Be succinct. Understand your message and be able to share it in a compelling manner with a few key bullet points.
2. Slow is now faster. Stories break on Twitter live as events unfold. Getting a story right is challenged by an increase pressure to get it out.
PR Takeaway: Anticipate journalists' needs and serve as a valuable resource. Maintain an accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive online newsroom or press center. A quick responses and immediate follow up is essential.
3. There is a need to be more resourceful with resources. Cuts in newsroom operations means that journalists are working longer hours, with heavier workloads and a heightened sense of concern regarding job security.
PR Takeaway: Passing along tips and information that will benefit the journalist (publication and readers), whether or not it is for a specific client, will be appreciated and help to build a strong relationship. Likewise, those who are able to help journalists save time by bringing together multiple resources have a distinct advantage. For this reason I am very intrigued with the concept behind Heather Whaling's Pitch with me!
4. The brand of a journalist is not always limited to the publication. Many journalists now have Twitter handles, Facebook pages, and personal blogs.
PR Takeaway: There are now numerous opportunities to listen, engage, and build stronger relationships with influential journalists.
5. Competition is more competitive. Social media has also increased the challenge of being the first to break a story or add a new and unique angle.
PR Takeaway: Exclusives are more valuable than ever. When you can't offer an exclusive, consider whether you have a special angle or resource to pitch. What value can you offer the journalist to help him or her provide unique value to readers?
What other changes have you noticed in the field of journalism and how do they impact those who practice PR?

House farm bill won't include proposed renewable energy amendment
Credit: by NA Windpower Wednesday June 19 2013 | North American Windpower | www.nawindpower.com ~~
Although U.S. representatives began debating a 2013 Farm Bill on the House floor this week, the bill will not include a recently proposed amendment to pump mandatory funds into renewable energy.
Introduced by Rep. Braley, D-Iowa, with support from several other democrats, the amendment aimed to provide more than $1 billion in mandatory funding over the next five years for Energy Title programs, including the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP). However, the Rules Committee voted not to include the Braley provision in the House Farm Bill.
The Agriculture Energy Coalition has applauded Braley and his amendment supporters for trying to guarantee funding for Energy Title programs, but the group is not surprised by the House bill's lack of renewables funding.
"House Agriculture Committee leadership has been very reluctant to provide funding for these programs, and it's clear that the bill will move through the House without this funding," Ryan Stroschein, co-director of the coalition, tells NAW.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Senate passed its 2013 Farm Bill, and the legislation includes $68.2 million in mandatory funding for REAP. The program provides grants and loans to help rural businesses and agricultural producers invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives, including solar and small wind projects.
Congress has not passed a Farm Bill since 2008, but Stroschein says the fact that a version made its way through the Senate and another version is currently on the House floor indicates a Farm Bill will likely pass. If so, the House and Senate versions will go to a committee in order to iron out their differences.
"The House will pass its version of the bill, and I believe it will get to a conference," Stroschein says. "There will be some difficult issues to work out in that conference, but I think there's a good chance we'll get a Farm Bill at some point in this calendar year."
He adds that the coalition will continue pushing for mandatory Energy Title funding.
"We have been working very closely with allies and supporters in the Senate to ensure their bill contained robust funding – which it does – and we'll be working with them as this bill moves into conference to ensure these programs are adequately funded going forward," he explains.

Happy St. Patrick's Day
The background photo is of Cranndillon (Dillon Rd) in Virginia, Cavan County, Ireland. In 2006 mom took my Gram back to Ireland a second time. In hopes of really finding the place that John Dillon left, almost 200 years ago. While on their trip they happened to meet a Dillon family, right there in Cavan County. If a relation exists we are not certain at this time but there is a great possibility to find out. Walking down Crannadillon, from left, John Dillon, Gram (Alice Dillon Kreiter), John's wife Margaret, my Mom Ellen Neumann and the boy is a friends son Mathew O'Driscoll. The local historian, Peter Smith, of Cranadillon, Virginia, Cavan County, Ireland was able to tell us that in fact there were Dillon's in this area. Unknown to anyone was this road, so well travelled by, and was called Crannadillon, translated Dillon road. Who would have thought. That our Dillon's, who came to America, for a better life in 1850, did not leave with out a mark. John Dillon's family history in Ireland is almost vanished, but this road gives up hope that we may find more truths of what happened to our ancestors so long ago. Adorning this photo are shamrocks and pictures of John Dillon and his wife Mary Welsh. Though they have left this earth many, many years ago their legacy is eternal. From them have been born many generations of proud American's who never forgot from whence they came and are able walk the same roads they walked.
