Select Route:
This is a burley and sustained, mostly thin hands-to-wide crack system that offers plenty of fun and adventure. Should be considered a must-do for the aspiring 5.10 offwidth climber, even though some of the harder sections were not necessarily offwidth. This route is very overhanging, exposed, and basically wild!
Located on the left, overhanging side of the Dictionary dihedral, it starts by firing up the crack system that starts with the steep chimney. Keep going 5 pitches straight up until merging with the last pitch of Braille Book, and follow the descent as for BB.
Bring at least a double set of thin hand to fist sized cams, and perhaps one bigger-than-fist piece. Some finger-sized gear is also nice. Climbers at their limit may want a triple set of cams to adequately cover the sustained sections.

"It is time for me to say good bye," said Sen. Tim Johnson.
Although U.S. Senator Tim Johnson's retirement might have been expected by some, that didn't make the news any easier for his hometown of Vermillion.
"I'm proud of my record and I'm proud of the moderation that I have brought to South Dakota," said Sen. Tim Johnson, (D) South Dakota.
Standing beside his wife, Barbara, Johnson said he'll retire when his third term ends in 2014. Johnson suffered a brain hemorrhage in 2006 during his second term. While he says he feels great, he admits there are still some issues.
"My right arm and my right leg aren't what they used to be and my speech is not entirely there," said Johnson.
While the 66-year-old Johnson says he's been contemplating this decision for some time, he wanted to make his announcement in the community that first embraced him, and elected him to the state legislature in 1978.
"I think it's very cool that he chose to come home and announce. I think that says a lot for how he's handled things, how he's served South Dakota. I think that really speaks to how he's served our state," said Erik Muckey, USD's Student Government President.
"I had encouraged him at one time to stay in the race, but I could tell that it was going to be difficult for him and it is time for him to take some time for himself," said Nancy McCahren, a former USD professor and friend of Johnson's.
Some speculate that his son, U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson, might follow in his footsteps.
"There's several good candidates out there and you'll have to ask Brendan about that," said Johnson.
And without an election to worry about, Johnson says next fall will certainly be different.
"It will be strange, but I'm certain that I'll get over it," said Johnson.
Johnson won't be running for re-election in 2014, but that doesn't mean he doesn't think he could win if he ran.
"I've never been beaten," said Johnson.
Johnson spent eight years in the state Legislature, 10 in the U.S. House and will complete 18 years in the Senate next year. He's now the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.
As for retirement plans? Johnson says he plans to spend more time with his six grandkids.

after seeing hbo chop down rigo for his "unappealing" style, i could see them doing the same to mikey especially after his "lackluster" performance against burgos. not enough of a push from the majority of fans to see these two. the masses would rather watch a ggg KO artist against no namers, and i'm pretty sure hbo is regretting not airing gennady's last fight given the amount of attention it got.
Very possible,
However, do you think HBO would shit on Garcia quite that fast? They still see him as a money maker. Garcia-Gamboa will be a good to great fight!

i think it's been mentioned already, but it does seem like these networks really do pay attention to what the fans are saying so long as they have the majority behind their message and it'd have an impact on the network's cash flow. for a solid week after garcia fought burgos, the consensus on social media outlets was that mikey looked "awful" and the fight was a snoozer. ironically, a lot of this has to do with the piss poor telecast from lampley and kellerman. its almost like a vicious cycle with the negative aspects always getting the attention. unfortunately, the fans who actually appreciate the sport and still thought mikey put on a spectacular performance are in the minority, and even if we do speak our opinions, chances are we'll get drowned out by the overwhelming majority who expected more.
whether mikey's last fight is affecting hbo's decision to go forward with a garcia-gamboa fight who knows...just a theory on my part. i agree though it's way too good of a fight to pass up.

Children's money worries revealed
12:13am Saturday 21st June 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
One in three children as young as eight say they worry about money, but their concerns are easing as the wider economy improves , a survey has found.
Around 37% of children aged between eight and 15 years old said they worry about money, although this figure has fallen back from 58% when the same question was asked last year, according to the research by Halifax.
The survey found that children living in London are the most likely to be concerned about finances while those living in East Anglia are the least likely.
Parents living in the East of England and Scotland are the least likely to think that their children are worried about money, according to the survey of over 1,100 children and more than 500 adults.
Richard Fearon, head of Halifax Savings, said: "Our comprehensive survey has consistently shown that children are very sensitive to their parent's money concerns, far more so than parents realise.
"One key way to help children is to show them understand how money works. Introducing them to good spending and savings habits at an early age can pay long term dividends by helping them see the benefits first hand, while good financial education is vital."
Financial education charity pfeg (Personal Finance Education Group) has been pressing for children to start being taught about finances when they are still at primary school.
From September, financial education will be placed on the national curriculum in secondary schools across England.

The Community Event Sponsorship Program resides within the Corporate Citizenship department at State Street. Supporting the communities in which we live and work around the world is one of State Street's fundamental values. The Community Event Sponsorship Program contributes to enriching these communities through corporate contributions to charitable organizations that serve disadvantaged populations.
The Community Event Sponsorship Program strategy is devised by 39 Community Support Program (CSP) Committees in 26 countries responsible for making event sponsorship funding decisions and managing relationships with local recipient organizations. In the United States, event sponsorships are granted to organizations and agencies designated as not-for-profit 501(c) (3) entities by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In communities outside the US, we provide event sponsorships to charities that are deemed 501(c) (3) equivalents.
The Community Event Sponsorship program complements the social investment strategies of the State Street Foundation Grantmaking Program and the Employee Volunteer Program.
Community event sponsorship investments foster strategic, comprehensive partnerships with charities around the world, raise awareness and visibility around key community issues and engage State Street employees by providing networking opportunities.

East Texans are honoring those who have served our country by raising money to help disabled veterans. This is the second year Operation Give Gratitude organized an all day event in Gladewater to show respect to veterans.
With a Patriot Guard riders drive through, hundreds gathered at the Gladewater rodeo grounds to give honor to veterans."Freedom isn't free. If you value your freedom, thank a vet. My father served in Vietnam my stepson served in Iraq, It's very close to home," says supporter Amy Burns.The event will raise money for a camp dedicated to helping disabled veterans called Camp Patriot, the brain child of navy veteran Micah Clark."In 2004 when I came back from Afghanistan, I'd lost a couple of buddies and I wanted to create a program that was outdoor recreational therapy. A way to show them that they have abilities to live life and not look at the disabilities. The goal is to get this ranch in Montana and be able to bring 300-to-500 veterans a year through the program." Clark says. "Camp Patriots' mission is to take United States disable veterans on outdoor adventures all generations from world war two forward." he says. For some the event was a long overdue recognition.
"You know after almost 50 years its nice to finally be appreciated , have people recognize what you did back then," says marine corps Vietnam veteran Frank Hajart.For those who have given so much, it was a simple time to say thank you."We wouldn't live free without your service, and so we thank you from the bottom of our heart," Clark says.
Patriot Guard and Vietnam veterans of America also participated and supported in today's event. Last year's Operation Gratitude event raised 20-thousand dollars for disabled veterans.

CLEVELAND, Ala. — Hayden's girls took the lead at the end of the third quarter, then ran away from Locust Fork in the fourth for a 60-47 victory in Friday's semifinals of the Blount County Basketball Tournament.
The Hornets, who just fell out of the Class 4A state top-10 rankings last week, led by three going into the last miinute of the third.

Grayson Taylor scored 19 points, with three 3-point goals, and had nine rebounds plus seven assists for the Wildcats. Katie Parr recorded yet another double-double with 13 points and 13 boards, and Sharley Miller scored 10 points.
Kristen Cox led Locust Fork (18-6) with 19 points; she put up a whopping 23 field-goal attempts for the night. Kasi McMillan grabbed nine rebounds.

When it comes to mobile phone use, India ranks second in number of mobile phones in use. There are strong chances that India will soon overtake China in this competition. With so many mobile users across the country, there are many mobile manufacturing companies that compete to take the first place in India. Largely, there are two types of mobiles in use: feature phones and smartphones. However, smartphones are more in demand as people love features and specifications of smartphones. One of the key reasons of mobile's popularity is its multi-functionality. Apart from communication, it provides number of facilities like internet, shopping, entertainment, photography and more.
The smart device has easily replaced desktop computers, laptops and tablets. And perhaps therefore, there are mobiles which are called Phablets - combination of phone and tablet. With a single mobile phone, you can do everything. You can talk to anyone, send mail, capture photos, watch videos, listen to audios, and do your office work too. A high-end mobile provides every facility to stay connected with the world, no matter where you are. Infibeam mobile store boasts number of mobiles with best brands on the rack. Now you can buy mobile phones with EMI also. We offer the best mobile price in India.

Is Korea turning out to be the next U.S.? Once upon a time the U.S. was the top travel destination until it became hard to get visa approval. Now it seems, the tides have turned and more visitors with their international travel insurance are going to the friendlier, progressive South Korea. Americans are part of exodus but they mostly make sure to have trip cancellation insurance what with the tension between North and South Korea.
Still, based on tourist arrivals to South Korea, Thais are number one with an 18% increase from 2009 and another 20.8% increase from 2010. They are almost at par with the number of Chinese visitors and have overtaken the Japanese even in spending. For instance, according to Korean government officials, a Thai tourist would spend an average of US$1,392 last year in Korea while a Japanese visitor would only spend an average of US$1,070.
One of the reasons for Korea's popularity in the travel map is the K-Pop culture which has been sweeping the globe with their brand of music and fashion. The South Korean TV soap operas have also been seen in far-reaching countries in South American, Europe and other Asian countries all of which are dubbed in the local language.
The estimate for Chinese spending in Korea this year is expected to reach 2.7 trillion Won which is the Korean currency. The Korean government has successfully formed an excellent welcoming committee to anyone coming from international flights. This has contributed immensely to the overall experience and fostered many return visits.
The Tourism Ministry estimates over 10 million international visitors will be the total number by year end. In 2010, the figure was pegged at 8.7 million.

Stopped by this new store while I was in Lowell. It looks like everything is still being put together but the store is definitely headed in a good direction. Gourmet coffee, top end liquors and wines, cigars, a bit of food, etc. Beer selection was solid, they basically had almost everything you could get in GR but nothing extraordinary. 10% of six pack mix is a nice plus. The guy working seemed very enthustiastic and nice but is probably more of a wine guy me thinks. Everything here had a small yet carefully thought out selection of offerings. I hope this store makes it, surprise to see something like it in Lowell. Check it out if you're in the area.

Great Place with a good Craft Beer selection...of the beaten path. Great to find hard to find local. They were hold CBS in the back one per customer with decent pricing. Worth the ten minute drive off of the freeway. The place is small but still had a decent selection of beer. There is not much else around the area. Close to Grand Rapids so make a trip out of it.I will definitely make this place a regular stop for limited releases and local when I am well after the release date.
Hope you like it!!

Found a small looking place out in the middle of nowhere, but inside a delight as many of the smaller breweries were available. This was pretty much the extent of my trip, considering I had just loaded up in Grand Rapids. Didn't seem to have any really highly sought releases, but they line up was solid through and through. Costs were pretty consistent with other places in Michigan and the service was good. If I'm in the area I will stop again, but who knows when that will be. Highly recommended for travelers in search of locals.

Very impressed with this store. It is way out in the middle of nowhere from my way of thinking, but well worth the trip if you anywhere near the area. The man behind the counter came out and talked to me about beer for a while. He says they carry +/- 600 varieties of beer depending on the season. I believe it! He really knew his business, but said that the real expert was not there just then, and she would be able to answer any question I might have about beer or brewing.
Did I mention the homebrew shop? It is small, but very well stocked. They have kits, malt extracts, whole grains, more varieties of yeast than I knew existed, books, and all the gadgets you would expect.
The owner was also there, and was very friendly, he seemed to genuinely love his job...
The also allow byo6 packs, give a 10% discount on them.

I've seen reviews but never made the trip, as its over an hour from where I live. I was out on a beer expedition today and made my way to Pauly's. From the outside of the building, you wouldn't know a treasure lies within.
The selection is great. 3 full walls of cold beers. Plenty of imports, macros, micros and locals. Too many to list.
I headed there because I was told by my regular shop that they had some 2009 KBS left and I wanted to get a hold of it. I asked "Mrs. Pauly" (I assume his wife) if they still had it. She said she didn't think so but she went in to the cooler to check for me. She came back and said no, but here's a 2008 Backwoods Bastard I just found and told me just to take it, no charge. Wow, that is customer service.
I'll stick with my mainstay store, but when limited releases make their way to MI shelves, I'll be heading to Pauly's. They had GI BCS 2008 and 2009, plenty of KBS, Nemesis and others that are long since gone from other stores.

Some months back, while on a driving trip to visit relatives in the mid-west we stopped off here so I could pick up a few things to have as gifts and some others to chill at night for after dinner enjoyment while relaxing before the next day's drive. To say that the selection at Pauly's is good would be an understatement. Their web site does not exxagerate. However, I must confess that I didn't take particularly careful note of the full range of beers in stock as I wanted to sample the best that Michigan has to offer that were not avilable in PA. I had also done a bit of homework about what I thought I might want if it was available.
So as I got my cart and headed back to the cold cases one of the staff asked if he could help me. So I explained what I wanted and the next thing I know I'm into a half hour shopping session with a guy who knew his beer and stock, discussing the pros and cons of a number of Michigan beers and breweries. Needless to say I left with a very nice selection of some excellent Michigan beers that weren't available in PA and had no complaints at all during the rest of our trip about not being able to find a decent beer.

I visited after reading about the store on BA before I went on my annual vacation to Michigan for the Holidays. I made 2 trips, one looking for home brew stuff. I was a little disappointed in the selection in this department, but it's not their main line. I was impressed with the selection of both micros and imports. Service on both occasions was as helpful as I needed (I know my way around a beer store without a lot of help). On my 2nd trip in, I purchased a case of Michigan goodies to bring back to my friends in New Hampshire and Maine. Nice store.. I'll be back..

Notes October 12, 2008
I was here a week or so ago, WOW ! What an awesome place. I met Pauly himself,we talked a little,he showed me the cooler addition they are putting on,holy Sh!# ! Shelf after shelf of goodies to drink here folks, and a bunch of those cute little liquor bottles too. They had beers I had only read about,and wished I could get locally. I did not check out the liquor in detail (too busy drooling over all the beers eh) But it looked like quite a selection too.Very cool place to go I will be back !

This place is great. The staff knows what they are talking about and will take the time with a smile to help you.
The selection is better than any place Ive seen even in the city. They now have 650 different beers!!. They also have a good home brewing section as well with bulk grains and extracts.
Paul is a wine expert, as well as pretty decent on the ber, super nice guy. Stacey is the beer lady as I put it. She has helped w/ homebrewing and seems to know almost every beer in the place by taste.
This is my go to store for beer... and its closer than Grand rapids!!
Great place!!!!

Absolute piece of junk
by w2jlk on December 11, 2009
Pros: Large display screen. Good digital compass. Good satellite receiver
Cons: Worthless "free" maps. Visual images are so cluttered as to obscure even large features like lakes. Very complex download procedures. Base map is very inaccurate and sparse - almost blank.
Summary: I've only used a few hiking/hunting GPS devices - most are not too good, but this is the bottom of the pile. The free base map is unusable ...
Summary: I've only used a few hiking/hunting GPS devices - most are not too good, but this is the bottom of the pile. The free base map is unusable for any real navigation - major features like large lakes, parks, major roads, etc are not shown or are inaccurate. Unless you purchase large numbers of maps this device is basically only a digital compass. Even if you sign up for the "unlimited downloads" at $29.95/yr you will waste so much time down loading the maps that its not worth it. Also, as I understand their customer service tech, the maps are not zoomable. So you need to buy multiple maps for the same area (i.e., zoomed out to "get you there" and more "zoomed in" to see the area's details when you get near.) It is very difficult to reach "customer support". Not only do I strongly recommend against this product but I would not be likely to purchase any other optical products from Bushnell based on the low quality of this product and their customer support. My DeLorme PN-20, which is not ideal, is far superior, IMO. Even at the $99 sale price I paid for the 400, it was a bad deal. Also, the 400 is very large compared to other units and uses a proprietary battery that can only be charged from an AC source. So if the battery runs down in the woods, it will be a problem unless you purchase additional expensive batteries and tote around the extra weight. Finally, some of the waterproofing rubber seals fit so poorly that they fall out and can be easily lost (which is why, I suppose, that a replacement seal is included.)
Not usable as a GPS. Basemap has almost zero data.

Pros: Supposedly, you can download sattellite imagery from the website to the unit, and then show that layered with map and weather data. If it worked like it is advertised, it would be a useful device. But there are several points they omit from the ads
Cons: Unfortunately, the software has bugs and crashes often. One thing they neglect to mention is if you want sattellite images, you have to pay $1 to download each square km. Detailed maps are not available, the basemap only shows major highways.
Summary: Bottom line, this thing is useless. It will only hold 20 of those 1 sq Km maps that you have to pay a dollar apeice for, so unless you know ...
Summary: Bottom line, this thing is useless. It will only hold 20 of those 1 sq Km maps that you have to pay a dollar apeice for, so unless you know exactly where you are going to be, buy the corresponding sattellite maps for a dollar apiece, and upload them to the device, you are not going to be able to use the sattellite info. Compounding this is the maddeningly sparse basemap, against which all other data is displayed. This basemap contains only the major highways, no streets, no roads, even the widest and most traveled streets are omitted. It is like looking at a blank screen with a point in the center that say's "you are here"... If a major highway is close enough, you might be able to determine your distance from it, but you will not see the streets you need to travel to get there. Unless you can fly, this data is useless.
To activate the cool features, you have to pay. To get weather, you have to buy a Sirius radio subscription for $30 a month. Sattellite imagery costs $1 per square KM. To put this in perspective, to get all of New York City as a sattellite map for this unit, you will pay more than $141,000, and you would only be able to fit 20 of those one dollar images into the unit at a time. To view all of New York City as a sattellite image on your screen, you will have to load 20 sq Kms at a time, over 7000 times.
I cannot believe that bushnell has the audacity to call this unit a navigation system. It cannot under any circumstances be used to navigate, beyond telling you which direction you are facing, and your precise lattitude and longitude.

Summary: Great gps, aerial photo layering is awesome for the gulf coast area here in the great state of TX topo maps are worthless because its so flat here, maps that it has from the factory arent very good only major highways, you have to purchase aerial photographs theya arent free, penetrates tree canopys good, easy to switch between functions, cloud cover can be in the way on some locations for aerial photos, nice to have live doppler when your out on the lake or bay, not really easy to enter reef coordinates or any coordinates for a waypoint that is not your current location because if you make a mistake you cant go back and erase the characters one at a time if you didnt get right, xm radio with sports great for long sits in the deerstand, batterey life isnt that great, but you can buy an extended life battery, $50 manufacters rebate good through 8/31/08, so you can pick one up for about $350 when its all said and done
Excellent multi-talented device!

Pros: Ease of use, excellent GPS & XM Recievers, XM Weather Radar.
Cons: Maps expensive, screen easily scratched, no readily available external antenna.

Summary: _This is a great all in one GPS system that also serves the purpose of a XM Radio reciever. The Onix 400 is a rugged, solid-feeling unit with a interchangable battery unit. Despite what is sometimes indicated, this unit DOES support removable memory and I am told it supports up to 4gb additional, however I am using a 2gb chip.
_GPS signal reception is fast, and to my surprise- worked even indoors at my house. (I have others that can not.) The XM reception is superior to my other XM radio units, an older SONY XM01, and a Tao unit- the ONIX is regularly able to recieve signal where the others can't.
_Unfortunately, the unit has (what I percieve as) a few drawbacks. The first is the requirement to purchase separately the maps and aerial images. The plans for this service have changed a couple of times, but all I can say is that they are too expensive for the size/resolution that you get. (Not that you can find this out unless you purchase...) there are three sizes of maps available, all with reducing resoluton in relation to increasing size.
_Another annoyance is the lack of an external connector for either GPS or XM. There are some XM antenna headphones available for the unit- but the headband houses the antenna, and doesn't support external placement. (Easily) Also, if you intend to use the unit in a car for XM Radio- keep in mind that the antenna at the top of the unit works best placed almost against the glass for the best reception. However, this happens to be where the earphone jack is- (although recessed) so it poses an additional deterrent to using it in this manner. (I am still happily using this unit in this manner with an additional right angle earphone adaptor.) A single socket-type connector for the ports at the bottom providing a audio, antenna(s), and power connection would simplify things incredibly.
_Battery life is good, with consistently 5 hours of XM use per charge (longer than the Tao) and quick change battery packs making this even more convenient. GPS only (auto update for XM WX data only) stretches usable navigation time to a day's worth of hiking, having gotten 14 hours with the backlight off, and Smart track used intermittently.
_The Weather Quick Radar feature is suprisingly valuable, and I initally only activated it as a novelty. However, I now am hooked on the information provided by the maps, and think that it is well worth the extra few bucks.
_Overall I strongly recommmend this unit for the features it provides, especially since it doubles as an XM Radio, making you much more likely to become familiar with it.

Modeled after Jack Sparrow's Jolly Roger, this sheet cake pays tribute to the most beloved pirate to sail the Caribbean. There's a printable template for the skull and crossbones, which are simply cut out of marshmallow fondant and set atop black buttercream frosting.
Download Jack's Pirate Skull Cake Template
Make a batch of marshmallow fondant by microwaving the marshmallows for 30 seconds to 1 minute to melt them. Stir in the water and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the confectioners' sugar a cup at a time. The dough will be sticky at this point. Turn it out onto a surface dusted with confectioners' sugar and knead it, adding more sugar until the dough is pliable, smooth, and no longer sticky (5 to 10 minutes). Wearing the kitchen gloves, separate a quarter of the dough from the rest and knead red food coloring into it. Then pat the tinted fondant into a disk and wrap it well in plastic. Do the same with the remaining untinted fondant. Chill the fondant overnight.
When you're ready to decorate the cake, tint the frosting black. Frost the cake.
Let the fondant come to room temperature. Meanwhile, print out the template and cut out the pieces.
Roll out the untinted fondant about 1/4 inch thick on a flat surface dusted with confectioners' sugar. Dust the rolling pin with sugar, too. Set the skull and crossbone template pieces atop the fondant and use a knife to cut around them through the fondant. Use the tip of the knife to etch a few grooves in the ends of the bones. Then lift the fondant cutouts (with a spatula, if needed) and place them on the cake. Roll out the red fondant, cut out the bandana pieces, and set them in place atop the cake.
For the finishing touch, press the jelly bean or hard shell candy "beads" partway into the frosting so they appear to be dangling from the skull.
This recipe is a part of these parties:

Amped Up!
Get the inside story for your weekend music choices here each Friday. A member of the local music scene, Richard Guerrero plays in the three local bands. When he's not playing, he's listening to the many of the local bands and those on the Texas tour.
PRINT: Interview Outtakes and Rare AnecdotesFebruary 3, 2009 1:23 PM
Sometimes there's just not enough space on the page to get whole story in. So Amped Up! is pleased to share some of the asides and random tidbits that come up during the interview process with a number of musicians who have played in the Double C at some point in the last 12 months. Enjoy!
Amped Up! interviewed Agnostic Front vocalist Roger Miret recently for a feature on their upcoming gig in the Double C. Miret shared his insight on his band's history, Latin American hardcore scenes (where the band is experience a surge of popularity) and his reaction to the book/documentary: "American Hardcore."
In January, Amped Up! spoke with True Sounds of Liberty frontman Jack Grisham for a story about the band's Jan. 29 show House of Rock in support of a new album. Amped Up! noted that it wasn't the first time a band named 'TSOL' had played in Corpus Christi (the 'metal' version of the band played City Limits in Flour Bluff in the late '80s) and Grisham was kind enough to explain the situation in response to a question about the numerous aliases he has used over the years.
Earlier this year, Amped Up! had occasion to talk with comedian Rodney Carrington. The comic had much to say (most of it negative) about working on television and says has no plans to ever repeat that experience. Read on:
Amped Up! talked to Texas Country artist Robert Earl Keen in November. The veteran singer-songwriter's storytelling style is well known among fans and one of the best examples of that approach is his song, "Corpus Christi." Here's an excerpt from the interview where Keen recalls a memorable concert experience during his brief residency in the Double C:
Until next time, it's better live. It's always better live.
2/13 Real Gone Commandos (debut!) @ Texan
2/13 Hobo @ HoR (11 p.m.)
2/21 Hobo @ Texan
2/22 Hobo @ Dr. Rockits
2/28 Hobo @ Coffee Waves
ABOUT THIS BLOGGER: Richard Guerrero's rock features have appeared in The Corpus Christi Caller-Times, Go! Magazine, Maximum Rock and Roll and numerous college and DIY publications. Portions of the Amped Up! five-part blog series, "DIY: The Rise of Hardcore Punk in Corpus Christi" have been re-published by Citizine. His journal entry about his band Laughing Stock was published in Rachel Almada's book: "Anecdote: Stories from the Road." An active musician, he currently performs with Hobo and is presently at work on a solo disc under the name, Needle Points North.
Show 38 on the TFC Podcast Show features tunes by Swervedriver, The Damned, Pelican, The Dicks, The Next, TSOL and Boston Spaceships as well as local material from The Golden Age and Herb N Pipeline.

CHADRON, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska authorities say a 1-year-old girl who was abducted in Chadron on Saturday has been found safe in South Dakota.
So police canceled the statewide alert that had been issued for the girl named Mystery BringsPlenty.
Authorities say the girl was taken Saturday afternoon from 317 Main Street in Chadron.
The alert said the girl might have been with a couple driving to South Dakota, and she was found safe there a few hours later.
Police did not immediately say whether the couple that took the girl will face criminal charges.

This match pitted the wily ring veteran Suzanne, 5'6", 128 lbs. against a big strong newcomer named Gigi who at 5'9" and 160 lbs. of female power is not someone you want to meet in a dark alley. Suzanne who was clad in a hot thong bikini that displayed her phenomenal body off stated in her pre-fight interview that it was her plan to overcome Gigi's superior size with her speed and ring experience. Gigi confidently explained that she was very athletic. In fact, she played basketball, volleyball and baseball for her college team and that she expected to do well.
The match got off to a quick start with Gigi obtaining a quick submission on the surprised Suzanne. Suzanne who is filled with competitive spirit immediately launched her own savage attack with a headlock takedown. She made Gigi suffer for awhile underneath, but Gigi remained calm and eventually used her athletic ability to snare Suzanne in an agonizing set of head scissors that quickly procured Gigi another submission.
This was a spirited match with Suzanne doing her best to overcome Gigi's superior size and strength. Gigi strongly dominated her with head scissors, school boy pins, and other agonizingly painful moves. Although it was not totally one sided with Suzanne also landing a few submissions

Winter is typically when anglers clean up their gear, catch up on the newest techniques and technology, and start planning for the next big trip. During winter, the closest I come to any offshore game fish is when I reach past them in my freezer to get more ice for my next cocktail.
So when Capt. John Hendrickson of San Diego Fly Shop asked me if I'd be interested in going offshore to catch some big fish on fly, I jumped at the chance. Hendrickson admitted that, this time of year, most of the fish that come up in the slick are blue sharks, not the makos known for their power and stunning aerial maneuvers. But I had never caught any kind of shark on fly, so I said, "What the heck? What else is there to do in the middle of January?"
It was a beautiful morning in San Diego. A northerly breeze etched the cool blue waters along the crescent-shaped coastline. Pods of dolphin shimmered intermittently upon the endless watery plane; the all-too-comfortable and clever seals performed their morning vocal exercises; and whales spouted in the distance.
Sharky Water
Finding sharks is not much different than searching for other big game fish. Using topographical maps of the sea bottom is a good place to start. Underwater structures, such as canyon ridges with steep drops and high points, cause current breaks and upwellings. These conditions hold baitfish and, in turn, attract other larger species, and areas with these features offer promising places to drift in search of fish.
Hendrickson explained that you want to aim your drift at a particular point to intersect suspected hot spots. Birds and baitballs are usually signs that you are in the right area. Determine which direction you will be moving once the motor is killed, based on wind and current conditions. The size of your boat and the strength of the wind and current will dictate the speed. "Bigger boats have more sail than smaller boats, so they move faster, which will allow you to cover more ground," said Hendrickson. "The more ground you cover, the better you are going to do." Using a chart plotter, or even a simple GPS tracking device, is a good way to monitor the progress of your drift.
Hendrickson decided that the top of the Nine Mile Bank would be a good place to start our drift. We were expecting the wind to shift to a more easterly direction by 11, and we hoped that Mother Nature would cooperate and graciously nudge the 25-foot Parker along our intended path, so we set the chum over the side and waited while the current spread a broad slick in front of us. We soaked chum for about 35 minutes, then it happened.
"Game on," said Hendrickson quietly from his perch on the transom, where he stood watching. I turned and looked out over the slick at an endless expanse of silver-speckled blue water divided by an oily highway trailing off into the distance. Then I got a glimpse of what Hendrickson had seen: Carving up the chum line like a windsurfer on a blustery day came the dorsal fin of a curious blue shark, a 6-footer.
The Big Tease
Sharks have personalities, and each one approaches differently. "Sometimes they'll come in fast, looking for any food that falls in the water so that they can get a meal," said Hendrickson. "You know they are ready to eat. Other times, they'll come in super slow, checking things out." That is what the teaser is for, he explained. He picked up a bait-casting rod rigged with a hookless dead mackerel and sailed it toward the shark. The scent of the mackerel and the flash in the morning sunlight soon had this blue licking its chops.
Sitting comfortably at the top of the food chain, sharks rarely spook, giving you ample time to prepare for the encounter. Upon first seeing the fish, you can take your time, size it up and choose your weapon. I picked up a 12-weight and made my way to the bow.
When you are ready to execute the bait-and-switch, it is best to cast the teaser so the shark attacks it at a 45-degree angle, moving away from the boat. That angle makes it easy to set the hook firmly in the corner of the shark's mouth instead of risking yanking it away in an attempt to set it.
Hendrickson tossed the teaser about 30 feet from the boat and instructed me to cast as close to it as I could as soon as the shark locked in on it. The shark beelined toward the teaser, and I dropped the fly alongside it. Hendrickson pulled it from the water, and bam! Smackola. The shark surfaced and chowed down the fly. It's just that simple.
A couple of firm strip strikes set the hook, and the shark started thrashing the surface into a very uninviting whirlpool. Then it was gone, peeling off 200 feet of line in seconds. I held on, hoping the shark wouldn't roll on the line. Then after a few minutes, I felt it slowing, so I start pulling.

Lilith: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(Mordecai does not respond.)
L: 'Ello, Miss?
M: What do you mean "miss"?
L: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
M: We're closin' for lunch.
L: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this skag what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
M: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
L: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
M: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
L: Look, matey, I know a dead skag when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
M: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable creature, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful scales!
L: The scales don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
M: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
L: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
'Ello, Mister Skully Skag! I've got a lovely fresh psycho midget for you if you show..
(Mordecai kicks the skag)
M: There, he moved!
L: No, he didn't, that was you kicking him!
M: I never!!
L: Yes, you did!
M: I never, never did anything...
L: (yelling and hitting the skag repeatedly) 'ELLO SKULLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Lifts up the skag and thumps its head on the chest. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the ground.)
L: Now that's what I call a dead skag.
M: No, no.....No, 'e's dazed!
M: Yeah! You dazed him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, siren.
L: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That skag is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged retch.
M: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the gullies.
L: PININ' for the GULLIES?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
M: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable animal, id'nit, squire? Lovely scales!
L: Look, I took the liberty of examining that skag in its cage when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
M: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that thing down, it would have went up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its tongue, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
L: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this skag wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
M: No no! 'E's pining!
L: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This skag is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
M: Well, I'd better replace it, then.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- A story that put Chick-fil-A in the national spotlight and led to hundreds of thousands of customers showing their support is Baptist Press' most-read story of 2012.
That's according to Google Analytics, which tracks web traffic. In fact, four of the Top 10 stories for 2012 were about Chick-fil-A. But the list also shows readers were interested in matters of doctrine and Bible history.
Following is the complete Top 10 list for 2012, with each slot accompanied by a brief description and a link to the original story:
1. "'Guilty as charged,' Cathy says of Chick-fil-A's stand on biblical & family values." In July Baptist Press re-posted a story from the Biblical Recorder newspaper that quickly put Chick-fil-A in the national spotlight -- and eventually led to hundreds of thousands flocking to the restaurant for Mike Huckabee's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. It remains the most-read story in Baptist Press' history on the Internet.
2. "Statement on Calvinism draws approval, criticism." In May a group of current and former Southern Baptist leaders signed a statement affirming what they called the "traditional Southern Baptist" understanding of the doctrine of salvation. It sparked a debate over what Southern Baptists believe on the issue and whether there is room for both sides in the convention.
3. "Andy Stanley's stance on homosexuality questioned." In April and May megachurch pastor Andy Stanley was criticized for a sermon illustration involving a gay couple in which he labeled adultery, but not homosexuality, a sin.
4. "Chick-fil-A's Christian ties stir college opposition." In March, before the Chick-fil-A media storm truly started, Baptist Press ran a story about opposition to Chick-fil-A restaurants on college campuses. The story spotlighted the student senate at Northeastern University which voted to end negotiations to bring the fast-food chain to campus.
5. "Chick-fil-A, in nat'l media storm, swims against cultural tide." The nation began focusing on Chick-fil-A in July and August, and it quickly became obvious that the restaurant was different from businesses such as General Mills, Nabisco, JC Penney and Target, all four of which seemingly compete to appear the most supportive of gay marriage.
6. "Q&A: A first-century fragment of Mark found?" In February, a New Testament professor said during a debate that a first-century fragment of Mark's Gospel may have been found. If true -- and confirmation could come in 2013 -- it would be the earliest-known fragment of the New Testament, placing it in the very century of Christ and the apostles.
7. "As Titanic sank, he pleaded, 'believe in the Lord Jesus!'" The Titanic sank 100 years ago, and Baptist Press remembered the anniversary by posting a column by Douglas Mize recounting how one of the victims -- pastor John Harper -- pleaded with those onboard the ship to trust Christ before they perished.
8. "Obama: Sin is what doesn't match 'my values.'" In the first few months of 2012, an interview President Obama conducted in 2004 about his faith got a second look after being re-posted on a popular website. It showed that on several major doctrinal issues -- including sin, heaven and the Gospel's exclusivity -- he steps outside historic Christianity.
9. "Some Chick-fil-A news reports called 'distorted.'" With the nation focusing on Chick-fil-A in July, Biblical Recorder editor K. Allan Blume -- who wrote the story that started the storm -- said many of the media reports of his conversation with the company's president were "distorted."
10. "T.D. Jakes says he has embraced doctrine of the Trinity." In January, Bishop T.D. Jakes said he has moved away from a "Oneness" view of the Godhead to embrace an orthodox definition of the Trinity -- and that some in the Oneness Pentecostal movement now consider him a heretic.

Rockford area manufacturing workers want an idea of what the future holds for their jobs. They're worried what's happening in Washington could hurt.
Congressman Adam Kinzinger says he'll take those concerns back with him to Capitol Hill.
Kinzinger's first stop was the Ecolab plant in South Beloit. The company as a whole employs 41,000, many of whom live right in our area.
After a tour of the plant, managers and employees were given a chance to ask Kinzinger questions. Many wonder how the sequester could effect their factory.
Kinzinger says he has been a long-time supporter of manufacturing, and wants to work with democrats to come up with a long term solution to keep industry strong. "Manufacturing is a cornerstone of our economy and it's important that both in Washington, Springfield, and in the private sector, we continue to move forward with policies that are going to support that."
After his tour at Ecolab, Kinzinger's next stop was GE Aviation in Loves Park. The congressman says he hopes his visits will help shed light on the kind of work these local plants and their employees put forward."I think if everybody in the Rockford area could see the products that are made in their area, that are then sent around the country and around the world, I know they'd be impressed."
Ecolab's plant manager Michael Smith says the company hopes Kinzinger will in turn be able to take some of the things he observed back with him to Washington. "I'm hoping that he really gets a good sense of the issues that we're facing here. I hope he takes away the improvements that manufacturing in the United States is making in terms of lean manufacturing and definitely improvements in safety as well," says Smith.
While at Ecolab, the National Association of Manufacturers honored Kinzinger with an award for Legislative Excellence. The award is given to congressmen who the group believes help manufacturers.

Program Type
Field school
Affiliation: Institute for Field Research, University of Central Lancashire, Manchester Metropolitan University, Connecticut College
Project Director: Dr. Duncan Sayer, University of Central Lancashire, Dr. Faye Simpson, Manchester Metropolitan University
Project Description
East Anglia is among the richest archaeology areas in the UK, noteworthy for its Anglo-Saxon remains. The field school focuses on the site of Oakington (Cambridgeshire) and explores a fifth and sixth century cemetery first found in 1926. From three earlier seasons we have found 110 inhumation graves that include males with weapons, females with full costumes, two horses, and one cow. The aim of the project is to systematically excavate the extent of the surviving cemetery to investigate life on the edge of the Cambrideshire Fen. The project includes a public outreach component in the local village.
Period(s) of Occupation: Anglo-Saxon Periods
Project Size: 1-24 participants
Minimum Length of Stay for Volunteers: Entire duration of field school
Minimum Age: 18 years old
Experience Required: No prior experience required
Room and Board Arrangements
Students, supervisors and at least one director camp 50 yards from site in their own tents. Students are responsible for keeping the campsite tidy and a daily rota of litter pickers maintain the appearance of the camp. A single, large marquee at the center of the site is used as a communal dinning location, public work/relax place, and provides shelter during rainy days. There are site buildings in the car part that operate s a lab, office, tool store and finds processing area.
The project is very fortunate to have access to the Parish recreation building. This includes a fully equipped kitchen, oven, sink and dishwasher. The parish also installed a washing machine for our sole use. We have access to the sports team showers; one block of communal showers is for men, one for women. Students on the project are organized into daily routines – cooking, cleaning (rec building), tidying (campsite and grounds) lunch, and washing up. This is strictly maintained and participation is considered part of the assessment process.
Please let us know when you apply for this program if you have special dietary needs, as well as any medical or physical conditions. We will advise you accordingly. The project is used to catering for vegetarians, those with gluten intolerance etc.

An 82-year-old Lawrenceburg man has been arrested and charged in the alleged sexual abuse of several children, including an 8-year-old girl.
Eugene Frank Hourihan is suspected in multiple incidents at a Lawrenceburg church, police said, and the case will now be bound to the grand jury for additional possible charges.
Investigators first became aware of the alleged abuse after a parent reported seeing Hourihan assaulting another child at the church, which has only been identified as a Nazarene church.
"We put him in jail on one charge today, because we do feel like he is a threat to society and to children," said Lawrenceburg Police Capt. Don Laws.
Police believe Hourihan sexually abused at least three children at the church in the past year. Each victim is between the ages of 6 and 12, and Laws said the department had to move fast to protect other children.
"With all the experience I've had, his patterns are showing me this has probably been going on for quite sometime," Laws said.
Investigators say the 82-year-old grandfather comes across as nice, first luring potential victims by playing with them and putting parents at ease with his friendly disposition.
Now, officials are asking any parents of children who may have come in contact with Hourihan to call child abuse investigators at 931-766-1279.
"If he's been around their children, or any concerns they may have, to come forward," Laws said.
Hourihan is jailed on a $100,000 bond, and a hearing is set for Jan. 4.
