Rollover-Tested In White, This F-250 Is Now Back In Blue
Beware the words "just one more." James "Slim" Janssen can tell you why. Not so long ago, the blue F-250 on these pages was glimmering white. During a long weekend in the desert, yours truly was en route from another corner of the Mojave, planning to meet Slim and the rest of the Mojave Mafia for a few hours of photo shoot fun. James and crew had spent most of the afternoon playing in the whoops and turns near the Slash X Café in Stoddard Valley. It was time to give the truck a wipe-down. Before parking, the proud owner cranked the wheel and hit the throttle in the name of "just one more" powerslide. Mid-slide, the outside rear tire blew off its bead, hooking the wheel in terra firma, and sending the truck rubber-side up. Oops.
With a wrinkled cab and no shortage of mangled fiberglass, the repairs seemed daunting. Thanks to Slim's "original" approach to building his truck, it went back together with relative ease. A few months later, the newly-blue Ford was ready for another shoot. When the date arrived, James kept his truck parked pending the photographer's arrival.
That's the story of the photo shoot. Now let's concentrate on the truck's build.
James bought the truck already built, and the original build used bolt-on roll cage and suspension construction. Even though he ended up redoing most of the build, new 'cage and suspension components were still bolted to the frame rather than welded directly on. Bolt-on construction takes more time during the initial build. Instead of welding directly to the frame, landing plates are made to bolt on. This means spending time making the landing plates, and spending time drilling holes in the frame to mount them. Once the plates are bolted in place, rollcage tubing can "land" on the plates. This method also applies to leaf spring hangers, bump stop mounts, and radius arm brackets.
The bolt-on method has a couple of advantages. First, roll cage sections and suspension components can be unbolted during maintenance and repair. Second, the bolts allow a little bit of "give" between the 'cage and suspension components and the frame. This give helps avoid stress cracks.
The front suspension is classic and simple. Kingpin-style I-beams were slightly extended and then plated in for maximum strength. The rear-steer knuckles were retained, along with the OEM-configuration steering linkage. Tony Sato built James a set of billet front hubs which are lighter and stronger than the '73 pieces. The early '90s flavor comes from the coil bucket-mounted springs and the dual smooth-body Fox 2.0 shocks. A Fox bumpstop on each side updates the performance during hard hits.
Slim's truck is based on a '73 F-250 frame. Instead of the '73 cab, an '85 unit was grafted on. The front fiberglass and grille are '87-to-'91-style and bring on thoughts of the 1990s, a decade still considered by many as desert racing's finest years.
Out back, the bolt-on leaf spring hangers and matching bolt-on shackle brackets are home to a pair of Deaver leaf packs that mount to the top of a Currie-built Ford 9-inch rearend. James wanted to use the same old-school shock setup that the front end had, but found it impossible to achieve the same control using smooth-body shocks. Shock tuning on both ends comes courtesy of Keith Sato, who is Tony's brother and a fellow Mojave Mafia member.
Under the dropped-center fiberglass hood, you'll find a mildly-built Ford 400M V-8. A Clay Smith cam, roller rockers, and a 750 cfm double-pumper carburetor help produce about 400 ponies. Behind the 400, a Ford C6 transmission translates crank rpm into driveshaft rpm. The C6 was built by Roy's Transmission in Fullerton, California, who fitted the heavy-duty automatic with a fixed-yoke output. Lucas Oil products lubricate the entire truck.

Hodags look for return to football playoffs
Submitted: 08/12/2013
Play Video
- Last year, the Hodag football team made the playoffs for the first time in 23 seasons.
This year the expectations are to return and maybe even make some noise.
But it's going to be a tough road. Rhinelander will have a new quarterback this year. None of the reserves from last season are back.
Rhinelander will take part in a scrimmage at Wausau West high school Friday morning. They'll open the year August the 23rd at Superior.
The Hodags enjoyed the taste of playing int he playoffs last year. And their gearing up for more.
"We've been saying all season, 'We want some mo'," senior fullback and nose guard Connor Johnson explains. "We want some mo playoffs. We did it once, we can do it again."
"It's great to put on the pads and hit some people," senior offensive and defensive lineman Bryce Bilogan adds. "We don't quit. wee want to keep pushing to get those extra yards."
Head coach Jim Moore sees alot of potential.
"If we can stay healthy, we've got some big backs and a very solid offensive line," Moore says. "We feel we can definitely move the football."

Correction: Northwoods man initially charged with attempted homicide, takes plea deal
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- We want to correct a mistake we made in our Newscasts at ten last night and again this morning.
The story was about 31-year old James Peterson of Lac du Flambeau, who accepted a plea deal.
We wrongly said he had originally been charged with first degree intentional homicide.
He actually had been charged with attempted first degree intentional homicide, and was convicted of reduced charges.
We apologize for that error.
Witnesses told police Peterson showed up to a party with a knife and drunkenly started a fight.
Other witnesses say Peterson was attacked.
This week he accepted a plea deal.
Peterson pleaded no contest to hurting someone by carelessly using a weapon.
He was also found guilty of a second O-W-I.
Peterson will find out his sentence in August.

Kids learn about hospital
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- Hospitals can sometimes scare kids and even many adults.
That's why one Northwoods hospital wants those kids to be comfortable with doctors if they ever need their help.
Merrill kindergarteners visited Ministry Good Samaritan Health Center today.
The kids got to see an ambulance, physical therapy and x rays.
"We try to show them that you know what, the hospital isn't so scary. And we bring them through different areas that they may experience when they come in or they have a family member here. And a lot of times children, if they don't know, they're very afraid. A hospital can be very intimidating, says Jane Bentz, Director of Foundation and Community Outreach.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin talking politics at Marquette University
Submitted: 04/23/2014
- Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is scheduled to talk politics during an hour-long forum at Marquette University in Milwaukee.
Baldwin's office says she'll discuss health care reform, immigration, minimum wage and Washington's political divide at Wednesday's event.
The 52-year-old was elected to the Senate in 2012. She previously spent 14 years in Congress, and before that was in the state Assembly for six years.
She serves on the Senate's budget committee, as well as committees involving homeland security, health, aging and natural resources.
A Marquette Law School poll last month said her favorable and unfavorable ratings were both 35 percent. Another 27 percent said they didn't know enough about her to form an opinion.
The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Northwoods students celebrate Earth Day
Submitted: 04/22/2014
Play Video
- People from all over the Northwoods celebrated Earth Day today. Students at Lac du Flambeau school participated in a natural resources fair today.
Classes, groups and individual students submitted projects to be judged. By doing the projects they learned the importance of Earth Day.
�Polluting could harm the earth and if that harms the earth later on we won't have a better earth to do stuff on like camping, or fishing, hiking and taking walks,� says Sky Risingsun, a Lac du Flambeau student.
35 projects were judged in the science competition. Each student was given a white spruce seed to take home and plant in their own yard.
�It's a white spruce which is a native tree to this area,� says Bryan Hoover, Lac du Flambeau Energy and Air Quality Coordinator. �We've got almost 500 of them and every student is going to take one home so that they can pick a spot in their yard to plant the new tree and watch that tree grow as it matures.�
This was the 2nd annual natural resources fair.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The scout team defense was showing blitz just before a snap during Saturday's practice, and one of Nebraska's veteran offensive linemen yelled at the quarterback to help the unit check into the correct blocking scheme.
But by the time Tommy Armstrong stepped out of the shotgun and reached the line of scrimmage, the four seniors and one junior on the O-line had it figured out.
That's typically what happens when an experienced group reunites.
"We know where we're sliding and he knows where he's throwing — and it's fun when it's like that," senior tackle Jeremiah Sirles said.
The unit's chemistry and continuity have apparently been evident over the last few weeks as it has returned to near full strength. That efficient blitz pickup during Saturday's practice was just one example.
The Huskers' banged-up linemen are finally healthy again, and they're picking up right where they left off.
"We don't feel hampered anymore," Sirles said. "We don't feel like we're out there just trying to survive. We're out there contributing. We're out there getting better."
It's been awhile since he could say that. Sirles admitted that he was limited in practice toward the end of the season.
Senior tackle Brent Qvale said he missed most practice time before the Iowa matchup. Senior center Cole Pensick, junior guard Jake Cotton and junior guard Mike Moudy all had to sit out game action because of injuries.
Scout teamers were called up to take reps with the top offense during Nebraska's stretch run. Players who hadn't played in a game were taking practice snaps on the offensive line.
Meanwhile, the veterans were trying to fight through the pain. They were worried about protecting their injuries, staying healthy and setting good examples of toughness.
"I just didn't want my team to think I was taking the easy way out," Sirles said.
Now players feel revived, and you can tell in practice. I-back Imani Cross said the linemen were "very vocal" Saturday, "doing a lot of great things."
Qvale and Sirles are expected to play the majority of Wednesday's Gator Bowl at the tackle spots. Pensick will likely start at center. Senior Andrew Rodriguez could start at right guard, with Cotton filling the left guard spot. Moudy says he's built his strength back up after a shoulder injury and will presumably factor in as well.
Backup center Mark Pelini and reserve tackle Zach Sterup may end up seeing their roles decrease. But that shouldn't take away from their contributions this year, Qvale said.
"Those guys did a good job stepping up when we needed them," Qvale said. "And now as we've got these other guys back who are healthy, it's good to get them back in the rotation."
Senior guard Spencer Long will still have to watch from the sideline Wednesday, but Qvale said the hope is that NU's offensive line will again perform at the level it did to start the year.
The Huskers averaged 291.6 rushing yards per game during the season's first five weeks. They gave up just two sacks on 131 pass attempts.
"It's good to have everyone back," Qvale said. "Hopefully that leads us to executing like we were at the beginning of the year and really come out and have a solid bowl game."

What one animal from Africa, finally pushed you to hunt in Africa?
For me it was the Southern Greater Kudu! Don't get me wrong there are lots of great animals in Africa...that are beyond what words can truly express! But for me, I love the spiral horn antelopes. I would definitely like to hunt for some of the "Big 5"...but my true love is hunting animals like the bushbuck, eland and kudu. Nyala are very great to hunt too but is not found everywhere is Africa. I was going to list sable...but the price is high compared to the kudu....I have yet to hunt sable....down the road .
So my vote again is the Kudu!
- Member of SCI,DSC, QDMA, QU
- Hunted Africa...are there other continents to hunt?
Good question but a very tough one! Kudu is definitely towards the top of the list. Cape Buffalo and Lion are as well though. And leopard and elephant....and....and....
I don't know which is my favorite!!!!!Tom

Hi Enysse and Tom. The reason that got me to hunt in Africa was definitely the enormous variety, and the amount of animals in Africa. In Sweden we are very happy, if we can hunt for a full day, and bag 1-2 animals. Sometimes, we hunt for days, and have nothing. Even if hunting is not based on how many animals you bag, but the experience and adventure of being out in the nature, it is 100% more to it, when we see all these animals as we see in Africa. However, now after done some hunts in Africa, my favourite animal to hunt will be crocodile. Tracking, stalking and waiting.....and finally see the crocodile, is an fantastic feeling. Also have to say that, night hunt in moonlight, for hippo on land is an adventure that gives you a thrill of life time.

I went in June to SA for kudu. nyala, waterbuck & gemsbok, all fantastic animals. I worked my butt off to get there and it was the kudu that drove me.I got my bull in the last hour of the last hunting day...really...and he went 58&3/8 inches. A magnificent animal. I will go back in 2012 for buff and Sable but I think I would go for kudu again. They are a thing of real beauty.

No one animal drew me to Africa - it was the opportunity to hunt the wide variety of game that was the big attraction. Hunting each one of them was a wonderful experience.

Well im from Africa (South africa to be exact) and have hunted my fair share of plains game but the animal that will draw me out into the heart of africa (if i could afford it) would have to be the Mountain Nyala
It was not any one animal, but a friend that had been there and convinced me to return with him. I will admit I didnt really have any interest in going at the time and didnt expect to care much for hunting in Africa. I was wrong.
After having been there quite a few times and hunting most species, I would say there are a few I would go back to hunt every year.
Bushbuck certainly is #1, and Nyala, sitatunga, Bongo etc come in close. These spiral horn animals are beautifull and have a great narrow face. I also may be wrong, but I dont know of any breeding projects for Bushbuck. They are all wild, at least where I have always been.
Another great animal is the Impala. Talk about an animal that is so weary it can jump a string! They are beautifull, gracefull and I swear they can change directions in the air. I enjoyed the big five, but honestly after having done it, I love hunting Bushbuck and Impala more.

Like I said the spiral horn antelopes are my favorite...I don't think I will be able to hunt bongo or mountain nyala or lord derby eland...definitely beautiful and very highly attractive! The Bongo is my all time favorite! Situanga is getting expensive too. But yes I would like to hunt for some of the other bushbucks. Countries like Benin and Burkina Faso have somewhat affordable hunting for different antelope. Frankly, I won't rule anything out..who knows what the future holds.
I picked the kudu...based a on price, huge horns, and availability. Messmate, I'm so jeolous..a kudu close 58 1/2 inches!!!

OK enysse I agree the Kudu is right there at the top of the list, and the one I got was a Doozy and I'm quite proud of him but one of the driving factors of me going to Africa wasn't one but how many I could hunt at the same price of one guided hunt here in the USA but to get back on the subject the one animal if there was just one and don't laugh to loud it was the Warthog I didn't get the one I wanted on my trip so I'm going back.

It was the kudu. I read "Green Hills of Africa" in high school in the seventies and everything I could find thereafter on the gray ghost. Finally made it to Africa in '08 and took a beautiful bull. I like European skull mounts and have only one shoulder mount in the house - that kudu. (Did do a full body mount on my leopard). Took another great one last year and kudu will be the focal point of our trip to Namibia this summer. I expect it will be buffalo which will keep me going back to Africa, but I will always be looking for another kudu."We sleep peaceably in our beds because rough men stand ready in the
night to visit violence on those who would do us harm" Winston Churchill

When I see pictures posted by Tom of his hunt with Spiral Horn Safari....how can you not get excited looking at the huge horns on the kudu and gembok....Frederik, has posted a lot of monster kudu....for the dollar it's the best hunt in the world to me to hunt kudu!
Bob...getting back to your warthog dilemma....I suffer the same disease...wanted a warthog bad...never got one...it bothered me pretty bad too....if I was hunting in Africa...and warthog was legal...I'd shoot ever monster warthog I saw....but it would have to be huge....the trophy fees are cheap and european mounts look great....though I do want a half mount in my house...just because like you there is some thing about them that is unique. I know taxidermist cringe at half mounts...but full mounts need a lot of space...and they cost more....I like hunting more than mounts.

The gemsbuck was #1 for me. When I got mine earlier this year, it was worth the wait.

For me it was Lion. In fact, he first shot I fired on he African Continent was to make sure my gun was sighted in. THe Second shot I fired in Africa was into the shoulder, heart and lungs of a gorgrous full-maned icon of Africa - I would attach a picture if I knew how. I love kudu, bushbuck are awesome, I loved every minute of my time elephant hunting and as I said earlier today, I have become a certified Leopard nut. I will meet up with Christopher somdeday for Bongo, but Simba is doubtlessly what drew me and is a big part of why I go back. Just hearing them roaring at night from camp, or catching a glimpse as a pride follows a herd of Buffalo - just enough so that I know they are there, is what makes hunting in Africa better than anyplace else in the world.
At the top of my wish-list african animals there are bongo and cape buffalo... i read the book of Count Zsigmond Szechenyi, and the tale about Bongo make me fall in love with it! i guess that there is nothing of more exciting than hunting bongo into the pluvial central forest... a dream, hope one day i'll hunt it!

"I was just excited to coach game," said Miles. "We really want to come through for our fans and show them we can build a winner."
In what is expected to be an up and down season for the Huskers, Miles' squad came out firing Sunday night. The first half was dominated by senior Dylan Talley and sophomore Ray Gallegos, who scored 21 of the team's 31 points in the half. Talley would finish with 17 while Gallegos scored a career high 16 in his first career start.
"Those three seniors and Ray are going to have to be our go to guys," said Miles. "Ray's got such great athleticism. He's got a nice shot, he's just got to figure out how to get fouled."
During the entire game, the Huskers were led by forward Brandon Ubel, who did his damage in the second half, scoring 17 of his 21 points. The senior also finished with 12 rebounds – both were career highs.
"Looking around, we have to have guys step up and score, and I think that I am one of those guys," said Ubel. "Coach Miles challenged me and Andre (Almeida) at half time, saying those guys really couldn't guard us in the post if we really demanded the ball."
While the Huskers did shot over 50 percent from the field, they did have their struggles at times with Southern's pressure. It's an area Miles with address going forward.
"We have to do a better job of handling pressure. I don't think we can expect any one guard to come down this year and get us organized," said Miles.
Guard Mike Peltz, Trevor Menke and Benny Parker combined for eight points at the point guard position.
Nebraska has now won 23 straight home openers.
The Huskers are back in action Thursday night, as they take on Valparaiso, at 8pm, at the Devaney Center.

EVANS, GA – A single victory stands between the North Georgia women's soccer team and a PBC Tournament Championship, as the Lady Saints will go head-to-head this afternoon with Columbus State for all the marbles.
Columbus State has lost just two regular season games in the last five years, and captured six straight PBC Championships, setting up a clash of a storied program and North Georgia's storied season.
The Lady Saints advanced to the PBC title game in penalty kicks over Georgia College in the opening round, while pulling off a convincing victory over 8th-ranked Armstrong Atlantic in the semifinals.
A victory would send North Georgia to their first-ever NCAA Tournament as the automatic qualifier from the league and give the Lady Saints the program's first 15-win season.
Follow all the action at SaintsSports.com as David Beall and Chad Jackson will provide play-by-play for the championship contest at Blanchard Woods Park. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m.

The Writer's Block
New Jack, New Jack: Big City of Dreams
Published: March 16, 2011
Glitteraticosis is an opulent parasite that breeds in Hollywood's narcissistic pools. It snarls with the delirious spume of mad fame and bites everyone in its path with the toxic infection of influence, money, and power.
Maybe that's why on March 8, 2011—the 20th anniversary of 1991's New Jack City—I still felt a bit woozy from that dazzling influenza. Sometimes I still can't believe that "Kids Killing Kids: New Jack City Eats Its Young," the story I wrote for The Village Voice, became the source material for a screenplay that launched the film careers of Wesley Snipes, Chris Rock, Mario Van Peebles, Allen Payne, and Ice-T—and proved a reset for Brat Pack member Judd Nelson. It feels like only yesterday that I was sitting in one of the Enoch Pratt Library's second-floor reading rooms in the winter of 1987, bringing Nino Brown, Gee Money, Scotty Appleton, and the Carter Projects to life on stacks of yellow legal pads.
The engine that drove New Jack City was the late George Jackson, the film's producer and a force of nature. A Harvard grad, George, like me, was a Harlem native. He worked for Richard Pryor's Indigo Films and got his start on Pryor's surrealist biopic Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling. I first talked to George on the phone from the loading dock of the Hecht Company at Lexington and Howard streets, where I worked in the stock department in 1986. He had read an investigative piece I wrote for Spin on Baltimore's "Yo Boy" culture titled, "In Cold Blood: The Baltimore Teen Murders."
I had just come back with my lunch from Lexington Market. My supervisor handed me the phone and told it me was someone from the Howard Bloom PR firm in New York, and once I got on the phone, they conferenced me in with George from Pryor's office. I thought it was a joke. George was very serious, though, and told me he read the Spin story while he was waiting for a flight at Denver International Airport. He said the horrific tableau vivant of the locked-and-loaded corner boys on North and Pulaski I framed was so vivid that I should be writing movies. I told him thanks—I didn't think he was serious—and said I would stay in touch with him.
Over the next two years, I found out just how serious he was. He introduced me to screenwriting, pairing me with director Roy Campanella II—son of the legendary baseball player and a prolific director of 1980s television—who turned me on to Bernardo Bertolluci's The Conformist, screenwriter Mark Peploe, Roman Polanski's Chinatown, and Robert Towne. I studied the work of auteurs like Hawks, Wilder, Scorsese, Coppola, Leone, Pasolini, Stone, and Friedkin. I remember watching Wall Street one weekend almost 30 times on the VCR, pausing it to determine the plot points and structure. Wall Street is the perfect script in terms of structure, so much so that it became a kind of template for New Jack City.
When George thought I was ready, he and another producer—Rudy Langlais, who had also been my editor at both the Village Voice and Spin and would later produce my screenplay Sugar Hill—approached me with a script based on the life of 1970s Harlem drug kingpin Leroy "Nicky" Barnes. It was written by Thomas Lee Wright, who had sold it to Paramount Pictures sometime in the early '80s. It languished for a while, but then it got some heat because Eddie Murphy reportedly wanted to play Barnes, and Francis Ford Coppola was rumored to be interested in directing. But the script wound up going into turnaround, and another producer or studio could purchase it. Quincy Jones picked it up for his production company at Warner Bros., and George and Rudy told him they thought they had the perfect person to rewrite the film: me.
By 1987, the plague of crack cocaine had turned New York and most of the nation upside down. It was spreading from the inner city into the suburbs and rural areas. I conveyed this to George and Rudy, and said that Barnes' world of heroin needed to be updated to this new and more frightening idea of jumbo pieces of rock. They agreed.
I wrote a 10-page treatment on spec. The intro was set in a private club/bar/hangout called the Spotlite on Lenox Avenue and 117th Street, which I based on an actual watering hole Barnes owned called Jagazzy's, and showed the young post-teen crack pashas sitting around sipping on Moet splits, wearing gold-and-diamond medallions, with more money in their pockets than their parents had seen in a whole year. I wrote those 10 pages in the Enoch Pratt, working one afternoon until the 5 p.m. closing time. Nervously, I called George that night and read him the pages over the phone. When I was finished, there was a minute of silence. Crickets.
"Now that's a movie!" he finally said. "Yeah! You did it! You did it Barry! That's a movie!!"
The next week I went to New York to meet a guy by the name of Steven Starr, a William Morris agent. Forty-eight hours after meeting him, I had a check from Warner Bros. to commence writing a script that would completely change my life. Forever.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 111.66 points, or 0.76 percent, to end at 14,550.35, led by Bank of America and JPMorgan, after hitting fresh intraday and closing highs in the previous session.
The S&P 500 fell 16.56 points, or 1.05 percent, to close at 1,553.69. The index has alternated between gains and losses for the 10th consecutive session. The last time the index saw such a pattern was in April 2002. The Nasdaq tumbled 36.26 points, or 1.11 percent, to finish at 3,218.60.
The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, jumped above 14.

Stocks took another leg lower in the final hour of trading after San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President John Williams said the central bank could start cutting back on its bond-buying program this summer if the economy continues to pick up steam.
Williams pegged growth at 2.5 percent in 2013 and 3.5 percent in 2014.
The Fed is currently purchasing $85 billion in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities each month to push down long-term interest rates and encourage hiring, and has promised to continue the program until there is substantial improvement in the jobs market.

Also adding to pressure in the market, U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said the U.S. sees a "real and clear" danger from North Korea. The U.S. is preparing to deploy an advanced missile defense system to Guam to defend American military bases in the Pacific.
"We are doing everything we can, working with the Chinese, others, to defuse that situation on the peninsula," said Hagel.

"Coming into the year, there were some uncertainties, but I feel very confident that the S&P 500 is going to finish this year in the 1,575 to 1,625 area," said Scott Wren, senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors. "There's going to be a pullback this year, but this is very minor and any pullback is an opportunity. I'd love to see a 5 to 8 percent pullback but I don't think this is it."
Oil prices plunged nearly 3 percent to settle at $94.45 a barrel, logging its biggest one-day decline since November. Energy companies including Phillips 66, Tesoro and Marathon Petroleum were among the top laggards on the S&P 500.
On the economic front, the rate of growth in the services sector slowed in March to the lowest level since August. The Institute for Supply Management said its services index fell to 54.4 last month from 56 in February, falling short of economists' forecasts for 55.8. A reading above 50 indicates a sector expansion.
U.S. private employers added 158,000 jobs in March, falling short of economists' expectations for a gain of 200,000, according to payrolls processor ADP. February's private payrolls figure was revised up to an increase of 237,000 from the previously reported 198,000.
The ADP report comes ahead of the widely-followed government non-farm payrolls report, due Friday. Economists expect to see a gain of 200,000, with the unemployment rate steady at 7.7 percent, according to a Reuters poll.

I don't get what the big deal is. MSNBC fires Halperin for speaking his mind and, really, the D word isn't that harsh.
The key that's seemingly lost in the discussion of the ooooh-scary-bad word is whether or not he is correct in his assessment.
I watched the same press conference that Halperin is referring to and would also say that Obama came off, at times, like an arrogant bully and was somewhat caustic and defensive... in a word, like a d!@k.
Not a big deal, we all have those days and I don't even think Halperin dislikes the guy. It would be a like a friend saying, "Hey dude, you were kind of a d!@k yesterday, what's up with that? Did you have have bad day or something?"

Ian Somerhalder Continues Push For Fifty Shades of Grey Roleby Free Britney at .
Ian Somerhalder is not only interested in the role of Christian in Fifty Shades of Grey, he's progressed to lobbying for it ... and recruiting writers.
The Vampire Diaries star, 33, has made it clear that he's more than game to turn the controversial novel into an even more controversial movie.
Now he's waging a Twitter campaign of sorts, beginning with reaching out to Bret Easton Ellis, a screenwriter who apparently wants in on the film as well.
"Id so love to be Christian Grey w/you & Angelina Jolie. Ive only waited 10 years to do a movie w/u. Im grown up now-no worries," Ian wrote.
Ellis (American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction) has also been angling to bring the S&M saga of Mr. Grey and Anastasia Steele to the big screen.
He wrote to Ian: "I'm glad you're as excited by the prospect of Fifty Shades of Grey as I am. (though I've heard that Angelina is not involved...)"
Yes, despite rumors that Angelina Jolie will direct, that's not happening.
Still, Bret and Ian? A formidable pair no doubt. Ellis previously named Alex Pettyfer as his Mr. Grey of choice, but says he might reconsider:
"Rereading Fifty Shades of Grey: it's hard for me to think of Ian Somerhalder as Christian G. because I've known him personally for so long."
"I know Ian Somerhalder and how kinky he can be and yes, he's probably Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, and he will go all-out for it."
"I'll call Ian tomorrow for Fifty Shades of Grey ...I get it, I get it."
We're glad you get it Bret … now do it.
Your take: Ian in 50 Shades?

I didnt even know who Ian Somerhalder was until after reading the Shades books. I saw him online later as a possible cast for Christian for the movie. He is EXACTLY who I pictured when reading the books. The same grey, smoldering, sexy look I envisioned. I dont think I will even consider seeing the movie if Ian isnt in it!!

The only kinds of games I really don't like are platformers (boring), and puzzles (even worse). I also don't like games that require a walkthrough to beat, i.e. Myst. I like games that have high-level action (i.e. Uncharted 2, Halo Reach) and action RPGs of any type (i.e. Oblivion, Tales series). Also, if a game has girls in it, they MUST be beautiful. I modded Oblivion heavily just so that the villagers would look a little better.
I'm not sure I like static, turn-based fighting. That means most of the FF games. It's just too slow-paced for me. If a game's turn-based, it must have other options during battle, like the newer Mario & Luigi games on the DS.

They have this band at the coffee shop on campus and I adore the chamomile citrus flavor. I was saddened when I ran out of it.
I frequently enjoy having my cups of green tea and this particular brand is great!
This tea had a fresher taste than what I buy in the store, and I felt like I was getting decent tea leaves. I will buy this tea for sure.
I love a good green tea to start the morning and I was not disappointed with how good this tea is. I was surprised how much I liked the vanilla tea as well. I will buy both soon.
This tea really hits the spot for me. It was not too too fruity but just right
I liked the flavors and fragrances of the teas. The pouches were also nice.
I tea the chammeal tea and it was simply horrifing!!
This is a great product for those who use teabags, &/or a great gift to introduce tea's great taste. Not to mention tea's great health benefits!
I typically buy loose tea in bulk, & this product is a great alternative. The quality is great, & much better for you than typical teabags as it IS essentially loose tea, w/ the convenience of typical teabags!
I will probably purchase some for those days I'm in a rush.
I absolutely loved this tea. I prefer loose leaf tea, but have the loose leaves in a bag was great!
i don't like receiving tea but it smells good, cute tea bags too

Kanawha sheriff's dept. to purchase new armored vehicle
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Kanawha County Commission gave the sheriff's department the green light to purchase an armored car during Thursday's meeting.
Commissioners also gave a local law firm the go-ahead to officially explore suing unnamed pharmaceutical companies, pharmacies and doctors that have benefited from the illicit pill trade in the county.
The sheriff's department currently owns an "archaic" armored car that is in need of replacement, Sheriff Johnny Rutherford said.
Rutherford asked commissioners to approve the approximately $240,000 purchase of a Lenco Bearcat to replace the department's current armored vehicle, dubbed the Peacekeeper.
The funds will come from Rutherford's current budget, he said. The money is made up from savings garnered from officers' salaries that are away from the force on military leave, Rutherford said.
Rutherford's also did not collect a salary for the last six months of 2012 because he retired from the force to run for sheriff. Those funds will also be used to purchase the vehicle.
The department will also spend $20,000 in public safety grant funds and $22,000 from the concealed weapons permit fund, he said.
The department has been attempting to secure grants to purchase the vehicle for a few years, but have been unsuccessful.
The vehicle will be the only one of its kind in the state, and would be available to any department in the region, Rutherford said.
"This will save an officer's or civilian's life," he said.
The Peacekeeper is a 1981 military vehicle that was originally purchase by the Air Force. The sheriff's department acquired it at no cost through a military surplus program.
The brakes and suspension are antiquated, said Capt. Sean Crosier, commander of special operations with the sheriff's department.
The Bearcat, which is an approximately 18,000-pound, four-wheel drive vehicle, is fully armored. It handles just like a large pickup truck, Crosier said.
The vehicle could arrive in the county as early as July, Sgt. K.A. Vititoe said.
Rutherford acknowledged that there might be some questions as to why a sheriff's department in Kanawha County would need such a vehicle. He pointed out that officers in the area often respond to situations where the suspect is armed and is sometimes barricaded inside a structure.
"This will be a big benefit to our department," he said.
Commissioners also authorized local attorney James Cagle to begin exploring a potential lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies that have benefited from the illicit pill trade in Kanawha County.
Commission President Kent Carper pointed out that the county pays a high regional jail bill every month, and many of those arrested are addicted to prescription drugs.
Cagle would not name the companies he is looking at suing, saying the lawsuit has not yet been filed.
Two other counties are also looking at entering into lawsuits against the companies, Cagle said. He would also not identify those counties saying the suits have not yet been filed.
Cagle and his team of attorneys will take one-third of the winnings if the counties are victorious, he said. If the companies win, the lawyers will not collect a dime, he told the commissioners.
Cagle was loath to discuss the details of the lawsuit after the meeting. However, he did say it would likely be filed within a year.
He also acknowledged that some of the companies that could be sued are Fortune 500 companies.
Cagle will file the lawsuit for Kanawha in the county's circuit court, he said. He does not anticipate the cases being moved to the federal level, he said.
"I think this case has significant merit to it," Carper said.
"I frankly think the counties have been mistreated because the taxpayers have to pay the jail bill for people who committed crimes because they're addicted to prescription drugs," he added. "And I think it's our fiduciary responsibility to recoup as much as we can."
Commissioner Dave Hardy questioned Cagle about whether he would be going after legitimate pill mills and their suppliers or if he would be prosecuting local pharmacies that are just helping people in need of getting medication.
Cagle said he would only sue companies that have a history of providing prescription drugs to illicit pharmacies and doctors.
Cagle and his team of lawyers will prepare a lawsuit and present it to the county commission for approval before it is filed, Carper said.
Commissioners also approved a $30,000 allocation to pay for overtime for sheriff's deputies to spend time in the county's schools.
The funds will be used to pay officers to spend about four hours a day in any county school that doesn't have a Prevention Resource Officer already on hand, Rutherford said. The officers will speak to children and teachers, he said.
"We want to foster a relationship between the officers and the community," Rutherford said.

In a post yesterday on his ChristianFighterPilot.com blog, Air Force Major Jonathan C. Dowty (a.k.a. the Christian Fighter Pilot) attempted to make it appear that Rock Beyond Belief, the secular festival to be held at Fort Bragg, NC on March 31 might be cancelled.
THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSHIT made up by the atheist-bashing Dowty. Rock Beyond Belief is absolutely happening on March 31!
In his blog post, Major Dowty employs one of his favorite tactics — implying that there's a problem that doesn't exist with something he knows nothing about.
Dowty's post, with the completely speculative and misleading title "Atheist Rock Beyond Belief may be Cancelled. Again," begins:
"Though its organizers have said nothing publicly, it seems entirely likely the atheist counter-event to be held at Fort Bragg, NC, known as 'Rock Beyond Belief' — the atheist come-back to the Billy Graham Evangelical Association's 'Rock the Fort' — will yet again come to loggerheads with the US Army.
"In fact, the March 31st 'concert' may even be cancelled. Again."
Yeah, "its organizers have said nothing publicly" because there's nothing going on, other than Rock Beyond Belief's organizers finalizing hotel and travel arrangements for the speakers and performers and sending out information to the vendors about setting up at the event.
Major Dowty then goes on to write about Rock Beyond Belief organizer SGT Justin Griffith by name, employing one of his other favorite tactics — defaming enlisted service members on his blog, knowing that they can't respond to defend themselves because he is a superior officer and his enlisted targets cannot be disrespectful to him no matter what he writes about them.
Back in November, I wrote about former Army sergeant Dustin Chalker, one of the atheist soldiers relentlessly targeted by Major Dowty. Once Dustin got out of the Army and was free to respond to Major Dowty without fear of consequences, he attempted to post a comment on Dowty's blog. But the cowardly Major Dowty did not post Dustin's comment on his blog. So I posted it here on my blog, and am reposting it now because nobody can describe Dowty's abuse better than one of his victims.
The rest of this post is from my previous post, "Atheist Army Sergeant Unleashes on the Bully Known as JD the Christian Fighter Pilot."
Major Dowty has relentlessly targeted five particular service members on his christianfighterpilot.com blog — three atheists and one Muslim in the Army, and one Air Force tech sergeant who practices an earth-centered religion. All of these service members are or have been clients of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), and include my fellow blogger here on Freethought Blogs, foxhole atheist SGT Justin Griffith.
Well, one of the soldiers Major Dowty has been lying about on his blog, SGT Dustin Chalker, just got out of the Army, and is now free to fight back against this Christian bully who has dogged him for the last three years.
Dustin's "first order of business" upon becoming a civilian was to go straight to Major Dowty's blog and post a little comment on a post that Dowty wrote about him just this week. Dustin's comment, submitted last night, has not yet shown up on Major Dowty's blog, where the comments are, of course, "moderated," so I thought I would post it here.
You should be ashamed of yourself, JD. For years you've made a hobby of publicly attacking subordinate lower enlisted and NCO's who can't defend themselves against your constant defamation. The last time I engaged you on this website, I found out that you are still an active duty field grade officer and had to end the conversation. You, clearly, have no such reservations about good order and discipline, and seem to enjoy dragging your subordinates' names through the mud. What do you think is the effect when the leaders, peers, and subordinates of your targets come across the unprofessional and inappropriate public attacks you launch against your subordinates? How does it make you feel smearing subordinates who can't say a word back to you? You get to blast out all of the defamation you want from behind the cover of that little oak leaf.
I'm not worried about that any more, Dowty. Let's drag your name around for a little while and see what your leaders, peers, and subordinates think.
Jonathan Dowty pulls quotes out of context to deliberately cast a false light on others' character, drops passive aggressive loaded questions, misdirects from the issues with irrelevant non-sequiturs, denies facts he has no knowledge of with fallacious argumentum ad ignorantiams, and abuses the definition of nearly every word he touches. And that's just in this one blog post.
//a lawsuit that was tossed out because Chalker failed to use the internal grievance systems the Army has in place//
Jonathan Dowty is lying, pretending not to know what really happened. My commander was informed of my grievance and declined to do anything about it. I was turned away by IG and JAG, who both refused to investigate and referred me to EO. My initial informal EO complaint was found to be "unfounded." I used internal remedies. This is all in the testimony (alongside the Army's deceptive equivocation of this EO complaint with a later unrelated complaint, and my ex-commander's perjury that I never raised the issue with him). No, I didn't "exhaust" the internal remedies. Why? Because the problem is institutional in scope, and the internal systems can only provide local solutions. So what if I resolve the problem for myself at one post in one unit with one commander, and the same thing will happen again after the next change of command, the next PCS, or some soldier in another unit somewhere? Internal remedies for this *don't exist*.
//there is no indication the military, as an institution, "forces" anyone to participate in any religious act.//
Jonathan Dowty wants the government to force his religion on other people. Being present IS participation. Being forced to stand in silent respect IS participation. The closest thing I have to a "religious practice" is to LEAVE when people do things I find intellectually absurd and irrational. Why can't I "practice my religion" and leave? Forcing me to stand there is forcing my participation, especially when the soldiers assembled are very often the subject of the prayer. If you're praying about me, and forcing me to stand there, that is forcing my participation, Dowty. If a Wiccan forces you to stand silently on a parade field in a position of respect so he can cast a spell on you, would you mind? Would you comply? Or would you say, "hey, I don't want to participate in this hogwash"? Even if you are capable of suppressing your instinctive aversion to getting spells cast on you long enough to comply for the sake of maintaining a semblance of intellectual consistency, you would discover exactly why it is wrong to force everyone to participate in other people's religious rituals.
//Oddly, Chalker presents a mutually exclusive proposition: If the voluntary presence of prayer prefers "religion over non-religion," wouldn't an official ban on prayer prefer "non-religion over religion?"//
Jonathan Dowty attacks me with a fallacious claim that I've made a "mutually exclusive proposition" when the truth is that Dowty set up a false dichotomy because straw men are easier to debate than soldiers who can't reply to him. No, Dowty, non-religious is not the opposite of religious. Despite your loaded question and its flawed premises, not praying shows no preference whatsoever to "non-religion over religion". Not praying is the position of neutrality. Preference is shown when one group is given the podium and a captive audience, gagged and forced to listen to the other group's rituals or opinion. Preference to religion is shown when troops are forced to stand there for your prayers. Preference to non-religious people would be shown if you were forced to stand there and listen silently while a philosopher explains that there is no reason to believe in god and you'd be better off sleeping in on Sunday. This isn't a simple dichotomy of religion vs. non-religion. Jonathan Dowty is a demagogue and propagandist who uses these deliberate fallacies to construct a narrative painting neutrality as being anti-religious, when in fact neutrality is ::gasp:: neutral.
//There is no religious test in the Global Assessment Tool, despite military atheists' opinions to the contrary.//
Jonathan Dowty likes the spiritual fitness test, because it discriminates against people with non-religious philosophies. The GAT questions all rely on premises of a religious nature. The questions are not directly about any specific mythology, but they require religious beliefs in order to answer in a manner to get a high score. No person who rejects supernatural beliefs can score well on the GAT without twisting the plain meaning of the words.
//Naturally, this rampant threat to national security has manifested itself in demonstrable ways.//
Jonathan Dowty thinks if something hasn't happened before, it can never happen. Anytime you disenfranchise people, you create the potential for backlash. How many examples of insider threats over the years should I dig up? Hasan comes to mind. You don't think religious bullying plays a part in pissing some of these people off? I don't actually know any crazy atheists, but I also don't believe that being non-religious magically makes them immune from the factors that lead to extreme or violent ideologies or behavior. You like to blame all sorts of evil crap on atheists, so I'm surprised you'd shy away from the possibility of one of them doing something drastic as a backlash for having magic Jesus spells cast on him all the time.
//What is surprising is how long it took.//
Jonathan Dowty is blind to anything that isn't immediately obvious, and likes to talk about things he doesn't know anything about. You should've signed it. Or tried to. Chances are you would encounter the same glitches that thousands of people complained to me about last month. I don't know if every petition has this problem, or if the apostrophe in the title created the bugs due to embedding problems. Either way: the sign up process was broken, the page wouldn't load from the normal URL and required a workaround, and most users got an error or maintenance screen even after multiple tries. I doubt if even half of the people who tried actually managed to sign.
// It's a shame he didn't use the opportunity to present a factually accurate description of the religious climate in the US military.//
Jonathan Dowty should be ashamed of himself, for using his website as a public forum to attack subordinates who can't respond because Dowty is an active duty Air Force officer who outranks all of them and anything they say could be construed as "disrespectful" and used against them to harm their military career. Dowty fails to recognize that even if he personally "allows" these subordinates to engage him here, doing so could nevertheless result in action by their soldier's own commanders because military standards apply 24/7. Jonathan Dowty's blog posts defaming non-commissioned officers are detrimental to good order and discipline, and should be removed from the internet because they are accessible to those soldiers' leaders, peers, and subordinates. Jonathan Dowty's disregard for good order and discipline ought to be noted and acted upon by his superiors, who have thus far failed in their duty to enforce military standards of mutual courtesy and respect, allowing Dowty to wage a public smear campaign for many years.

After a blaze at the Barracks Road shopping center last month, the damaged stores have slowly been able to reopen their doors to the public.
The Happy Cook is the first store that has been able to reopen after the structure had been repaired and the merchandise had been replaced.
"We really didn't think this was going to be much of a time closed, just a few days max, but we just realized there are a lot of implications obviously doing the entire cleanup of the girders and the roof and replacing the floors," Monique Moshier, owner of The Happy Cook, said.
"This morning, we got here around 8:30 a.m. and we really pushed it until the last minute," said Taylor Wesa, an employee who has been working at The Happy Cook for the past seven years. "We were all working and it was nice to do the last-minute finishing touches like that."
The Happy Cook was able to officially reopen this morning at 10 a.m. Employees say customers were so thrilled with the reopening that people were lining up early.
