Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Matthews Mars Giffords' Return By Connecting Tea Party and 'Violent Level of the Right-Wing'
At the conclusion of a fractious national debate about the debt ceiling, a truly marvelous moment occurred Monday when Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) returned to the House floor after being shot in the head almost seven months ago.
Apparently unable to control himself, the sadly getting more and more disgraceful Chris Matthews chose to mar the emotional homecoming by connecting her shooting to the Tea Party and "the violent level of the right-wing" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
KEN VOGEL, POLITICO: And it really is sort of the one redeeming moment here at the end of this nasty, partisan and high-profile dispute that in some ways is kind of a microcosm for the way, the way Congress works. Not the Gabby Giffords coming back, which is truly exceptional, unprecedented and touching, but rather the fact that we had this debate that just happened to be, you know, draw an extreme amount of attention, but it's the way that these issues tend to work where you have the two sides navigating their bases and having to find a compromise solution that actually in spite of all the brinksmanship and the nastiness and the partisanship speaks well to the Democratic process and the way that Congress works.
These nice sentiments from Politico's Ken Vogel were followed by similarly reverential words by the Huffington Post's Howard Fineman:
HOWARD FINEMAN, HUFFINGTON POST: I was just going to say the fact that she made it back here and came for this vote I think is sort of a message - not to be overly dramatic about it – but a message from outside the beltway, from the real world saying, "You know, if I'm committed to coming back here and trying to make sure that we avoid default and that we, we end this fractious debate," I think that probably had some emotional effect on the floor of the House right now, the fact that she came back here for this to vote "Yes" to end the impasse I think really mattered.
So two media members addressed this amazing homecoming with the respect and the dignity it deserved.
Sadly, the host refused to follow in their footsteps, and instead used this moment to attack those he believes to be his political enemies:
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: It's also important to remember why she was, why she was coming back. She was shot by a violent act, of course a person using a gun, breaking up a political meeting with a gun, bringing one to a political event which we saw a lot of during the Tea Party demonstrations, people carrying firearms to political events. The violent level of the right-wing in this country, not particularly this case but generally where people feel the need to show firearms at political events, I think that's a bad development in our history to bring guns to political events. You should come to argue not to show your firearms. And to have now this horrible case of a woman who was shot down in her political act, meeting with her constituents shot, only not dead because of modern medicine and her character and her resilience, that is all part of this story this year, Howard, and I'm not going to forget it.
How pathetic.
Jared Lee Loughner, the Tucson monster, had absolutely nothing to do with the Tea Party or the right-wing in this country.
To make any connection between him and conservatives at the very moment Giffords made her touching return to the House was despicable.
If Matthews at this point has become so disdainful of the Right in this nation that he views every incident - even the heart-wrenching ones that bring everyone together - as a means of attacking conservatives and further dividing this nation, the folks at MSNBC should be seriously rethinking what his value is.
A few weeks ago, the Daily Caller's Tucker Carlson said, "Very few people have done more to divide the country than Chris Matthews."
Sadly, the MSNBCer's comments Monday were a perfect example.
Shame on you, Chris. This was totally uncalled for.

I watched about 2 minutes of the Rev's show the other night while the ads were running on Fox, and laughed my ass off.
His guest was Congressman Chaka Fattah (I think that is his "nom de politic"), and it was better than an episode of Amos 'n Andy, which was one of the best comedies ever on TV, by the way.
They should title the show "Ebonics for Idiots," or something equally descriptive. I lost track of how many "dese, doze, dem, dat, dim, ax, ... ahhhh, yeah, yeah" and other equally sloppy grammar and mispronunciations popped up in those few minutes.
MSNBC is unraveling anything that the public schools may actually be doing to educate children in the proper use of what is currently our national language (not sure how much longer that will be true), by putting this moron on the air. He's the HOST!
How can they ban Amos 'n Andy, a great comedy show, while allowing bubble heads like "da Rev" to HOST a show? Thank God so few people watch it.
Maybe they can hire Lightin' to take Chrissy's place when they finally haul him off to the "nervous" hospital.

Gee, I mentioned this elsewhere and given that I wouldn't watch Tingly Spittles if you paid me to, I didn't realize that he was going to make that connection so quickly. I shouldn't be surprised.
I said watch Giffords become the face of the repeal of the second amendment, and sure enough, it'll be happening, just like it did with Brady after Reagan got shot. Look for her to be a Dem prop now.
I'm really starting to get a little concerned about safety issues, especially those who have identified themselves as TEA party individuals both politicians and not. I wouldn't be at all surprised if violence does occur because people like Spittles fomented it.

I couldn't care less about Gabby Giffords. Not when the media continues to use what happened to her to malign the way I choose to think, speak and live. It was a terrible incident, but others in it -- including a child and her family -- fared far worse and got way less attention. If it were a Republican who was shot, he or she would've been accused by the media of having it coming and been forgotten by now. Screw her.

MSNBC: Gun-Toting Protesters are 'White' Racists... Black Guy with AR-15 Edited to Conceal his Race.
Regarding Matthews, who was a speech writer for Pres. Carter, I believe he will say anything to avoid Obama going down in history as another failed progressive leader like his former boss. BTW, Chris is not the worst extremist leftist anchor at NBC/MSNBC.

On Tuesday, MSNBC's Contessa Brewer fretted over health care reform protesters legally carrying guns: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally...wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip....there are questions about whether this has racial overtones....white people showing up with guns." Brewer failed to mention the man she described was black.

The line of Nikolaj Ehlers, Luca Ciampini and Darcy Ashley combined for 12 points to help the Halifax Mooseheads beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 5-3 in Saint John on Saturday.
Ehlers had a goal and four assists, Ashley finished with two goals and two assists and Ciampini rounded out the effort with a goal and two assists.
"They had a solid game," said Mooseheads head coach Dominique Ducharme. "They played well and did a good job for us. Darcy and Luca played together a lot in previous years and a little bit this year. They had a good game with Nik."
Ciampini scored the game's first goal early in the opening period but the Sea Dogs responded with three straight to take a 3-1 lead. Ehlers started the Halifax rally with a goal late in the second period and Timo Meier completed the comeback with a goal 4:16 before the end of the third. Ashley iced the win with an empty-netter.
"I thought in the first we did some good things but we missed a lot of chances," Ducharme said. "But we haven't practised much. We had one practice this week and then because of the storm, we had no game yesterday and no morning skate. I was expecting our execution to take some time, but to get better and better as the game went on, and that's what happened.
"But mostly it was the way we competed and our hard work in the third that made the difference. We didn't have that in the second period, especially."
The Mooseheads also had to play most of the game without forward Samuel LeBlanc and defenceman Austyn Hardie. LeBlanc took a shot off the side of his head in the first period and Hardie took a major penalty and a game misconduct five minutes into the second period.
"That was a challenge, especially coming back from a break like that," Ducharme said. "But the guys did a good job."
Marcus Cuomo, Nicolas Hebert and Noah Zilbert were the Saint John scorers. Kevin Darveau turned aside 16 shots for the Mooseheads and Sebastien Auger made 31 saves for the Sea Dogs.
The Mooseheads' next game is on Wednesday on the road against the Charlottetown Islanders.
Wildcats 5, Screaming Eagles 3: At Moncton, Stephen Johnson had a goal and three assists for the Wildcats.
Josh Pugsley scored twice and J.C. Campagna and Christopher Caissy had one each.
Jeremy Beaudry had two goals for Cape Breton and Bronson Beaton scored one.
Alex Dubeau made 31 saves for the Wildcats and Chase Marchand and Alex Bureau combined to kick out 22 shots.
Tigres 4, Drakkar 0: At Baie-Comeau, Que., Brandon Whitney of Hall's Harbour stopped 45 shots in the Victoriaville net.
Armada 3, Sagueneens 1: At Chicoutimi, Que., Danick Martel had a pair of goals for Blainville-Boisbriand.
Oceanic 4, Foreurs 1: At Rimouski, Que., Michael Joly scored twice for the Oceanic.
Cataractes 4, Huskies 2: At Shawinigan, Que., Alexandre Grandmaison finished with two goals and an assist.
Notes: Halifax's Zachary Fucale and Jonathan Drouin are at the world juniors, Andrew Ryan has an ankle injury and Ryan Falkenham (hip surgery) is out for the season.

Achillea Radio
Achillea combine bluesy guitar, deep molasses grooves, and passionate vocals that form a rich tapestry of Nordic atmospheres. Formed by fellow Danes Jens Gad and Helene Horlyck, Achillea base their songs on archaic poems and mythology. Gad, who contributed to Enigma's 1991 global smash "Sadness," builds the music around Horlyck's classically trained voice, resulting in a unique sound that's equal parts precision and spontaneity. Together they created a sophisticated song cycle called The Nine Worlds, which takes the listener on a journey through the different levels of Norse mythology. ~ James Christopher MongerPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Oh wait... you mean Lincoln Falls isn't the Ouray Ice Park North??? ;^) In my experience, NO ONE appreciates safety advice in the moment and always try to deflect blame or justify their behavior with some lame excuse. Hopefully in the long run, they will benefit. Edit to add: Good on ya' for being ready/willing to render aid and for your efforts up there to benefit the community.
Thanks for the info. I am glad at least you guys understood how serious that can be. Give the giggling climbers another year or two and maybe they'll be more experienced or find themselves in a situation and find it less comical. If not, it'll sort itself out.
Taylor, Thank you for this post. I appreciate where you are coming from & the concerns you raised. Could you please clarify for me, in the picture of those pillars, where was the French Pillar? I climbed all of those pillars a few days before Christmas and though they were super chopped out they had not fractured and sublimated to that extent then. I will say though those pillars were close to their end then. It just goes to show how quickly ice conditions can change and how all of us ice climbers need to pay very close attention all the time. I am glad no one was hurt but hopefully those involved find your post and think hard about what happened and why. I am also glad someone of your skills & experience was around to assist if someone had gotten really hurt.
Taylor, Appreciate your concern for the matter, that was beyond a close call for all at Lincoln falls that day. But the sequence of events that are listed are far from accurate to what happened that day. I was the leader of a party of two(right in your photo behind the rock), who were conversing with the large party of 7 prior to the pillar collapse. I spoke with the leader of their party, who was a nice young kid with a fair amount of experience. Although maybe not surpassing your level of Ice experience and knowledge, their leader and I were aware of the conditions and structural integrity of the french pillar, which is why both he and I conquered that it was not a safe lead and/or top rope. With this in mind my party of 2, and their party of 7 decided not to climb the french pillar in light of its danger. Although cracked, the center pillar looked much stronger, and their party continued to do laps on top rope teaching a group of very nice 20-23 year old girls how to climb. While at the base of the center column, we heard a cracking sound and dove for cover as the french pillar collapsed on its own, without any rope or climber on it. The other member of my party was wiped out at the legs by a microwave sized piece of ice but only bruised. All 5 girls and 2 men in the large party were horribly frightened and only "giggled," to ease the tension of a rather horrific event. A member of my party did proceed downhill to make sure nobody below was hit by the avalanche of ice, which to the fortune of the gods was the case. We appreciate your concern in the matter and pray for more fortunate events as aplinists and ice climbers. We would also appreciate it if you refrained from using directed insults of profanity towards a group of 5 young girls, which Im sure only occurred due to your rush of adrenaline from the preceding events. Im not trying to stir the pot with this comment/story only letting other climbers in the community know that the pillar gave under its own weight, and all at lincoln falls that day were fortunate enough to be outside its fall zone. Wish you the best luck on all ascents this season. Brian
Yeah!! Take that Rowdy!!!
Taylor...thanks for the report. Brian.... Thank you for the clear and objective explanation of the events. It would appear Taylor needs a corroborating witness before he writes another accident report.
I don't really climb ice anymore, these days I put my tools in my pack and go for long walks. It's much warmer. Anyway, a few years back I had weekdays free and loved solo ice. Lincoln is a natural choice for that. I'd run up low angle stuff on the left and go up the big pillar out right. I don't know the name but it's the main pillar pictured. On an extremely normal weekday, completely alone in lincoln and running laps all over, I stopped under that pillar and pissed. I contemplated soloing it again but my personality is lazy, especially alone. I zipped up my pants and went to the big main flow to dinnerplate my way up. I was barely a few feet up when I heard a god awful crash. I felt it through the tools even. I knew it immediately but had to look on my way back down. It wasn't as bad as it sounded, the pillar remained. However a curtain the size of a vw had come down about an inch to the right. Id estimate 2 tons of ice but I don't know. Had I climbed it, I would have been on the pillar when the curtain fell. Had I pissed longer, i'd have been crushed by ice with my dick out. Moral of the story, water seeks it's level, even when frozen.
What am I suppose to take??? Ya, I was pissed and used sailor words to express my concerns for my safety and every ones safety. The second offense of ignorance and stupidity really lit me up!!!, sorry. I would be heart broken if some one got hurt or killed on something that I farmed. I spent countless hours up there this fall farming ice and kicking down unstable formations to try and create a safe place as possible for people to enjoy such a dangerous sport. Lincoln Falls is not an ice park, you climb at your own risk. When you make bad decisions and keep making bad decisions it puts a lot of people at risk, if any one would have gotten hurt it would have taken a small army and a helicopter to rescue them. Again, sorry for being so harsh, but the mountains are a lot harsher. Every one there that day had a nice "look" at death and I'm glad that no one was hurt. I'm donating an old sleeping bag and some other basic first aid supply to be cashed at the rescue sled. If any one is going up there soon and could take this up there please PM me. Cheers. PS. Those chains around the loose blocks in the bowling alley need to go.
not for nothing, but if I jumped in to save the lives of 5 ladies in distress and didn't even get a phone number...at least one of them had to be a hottie, just sayin: priorities

Some of you may remember the very first Miss Reef Bikini held at the Reef Wakefest in Singapore last July where the participants were parading around in lycra athletic tops and Reef sandals from Argentina. Cool sandals eh? You may also have seen the brand if you shop enough at The Heeren Shops.
Well, they're cool indeed. After all, Reef is the world's leader in authentic, surf-inspired good quality footwear. Don't believe? Just look up their website or at Active Sandals which carries the largest selection of Reef sandals.

Iowa is Mandel's "Upset Special"
At least someone has some confidence in Iowa. Mandel has Iowa beating Michigan 27-24. "No. 13 Michigan (7-1) at Iowa (5-3) UPSET SPECIAL: Coming off a humiliating loss to Minnesota, it's clear the Hawkeyes are a far cry from their 11-2 Orange Bowl team of two years ago. The Wolverines -- who went 5-7 that year -- are notably improved, particularly on defense. But here's guessing the Hawkeyes have one last mini-upset in them. This would be very Ferentz-esque on the heels of the Minnesota loss."

Apparently the NFL "competition committee" (a.k.a. anti-competition committee) is proposing 4 new rule changes with regards to Kickoffs. There were rumors that initial proposals were to remove kickoffs completely from the game, but this apparently isn't the case (though it is a sign of a potential future consequence to this slippery slope). The rule changes are as follows:
1. The kickoff will be moved up to the 35 yard line: This essentially gives many kickers the ability to boot kickoffs through the end-zone forcing touch-backs and eliminating any return possibilities.
2. Touch-backs would be moved up to the 25 yard line: This is basically 5 yards of further incentive for coaches to encourage their returners to take a knee if they catch the ball in the end zone or let the ball bounce through it (also further diminishing the odds of kick returns normally).
3. All kick return wedges will be penalized: Back in 2009, the committee reduced wedges to a maximum of 2 players, so this would make kick returns more difficult further providing incentive for teams to accept touch-backs.
4. No player on the kicking team (other than the kicker) can line up more than 5 yards behind the ball: This removes any running start a tackler may have in pursuit of a returner causing the overall speed of the play to be diminished.
Personally I think these rules are terrible. I realize they are being proposed in the effort by the competition committee to "appear to improve the safety of the game," but realistically they are taking away one of the most exciting elements of football. Big returns, or return touchdowns are often the big momentum swinging play that allows for a comeback or allows for games to remain competitive in the final minutes. I personally hope that these changes are rejected, but it is looking more and more likely that they will go into effect. If Brian Mitchell were dead, he'd be rolling in his grave...

Rachel Maddow last night delivered two excellent and in-depth segments about the "ex-gay" movement, how it came into being, and why the anti-gay right has been able to ruin lives because of so-called "ex-gay" science. Frankly, there is so much "connecting the dots" here, even I learned a lot.
Many modern-day LGBTs simply ignore news about the "ex-gay" movement because it's quackery, but Maddow explains how anti-gay hate groups are actuality based on research from Dr. Robert L. Spitzer and others.
Maddow also interviews Gabriel Arana, who broke the story about Dr. Spitzer denouncing his 2001 study, thus effectively debunking the entire ex-gay industry. Arana's story in The America Prospect, "My So-Called Ex-Gay Life," may be Pulitzer-worthy. It's that important.
What does the ex-gay industry have to do with you? Every anti-gay hate group, every anti-gay organization, much of religion, basically everyone who denounces homosexuality and LGBT rights, like marriage equality and the right to serve in the military, or the right to not be fired for being gay, stems from the ex-gay industry and their "work."
This is the must-see TV you must watch. It's fascinating and shocking and if more people knew about this, the state of LGBT rights and acceptance would be decades ahead.
You must watch both!
And after, read Wayne Besen's excellent piece: "Commentary: Still the Iconoclast, Dr. Robert Spitzer Renounces His Infamous 'Ex-Gay' Study."

"I have said to the players that that performance is just not good enough.
"Some of our skill level tonight was embarrassing and unacceptable. We got ourselves into positions but simple knock-ons didn't allow us to get any momentum. We didn't control possession at all in that first half and it was incredibly frustrating.
"Sale deserved to win tonight, they found a way to do it, fair play to them, but we have got to look at ourselves now.
"We are not where we want to be at the moment.
"On occasion we defended well but you look at their scores and they weren't creative so we had a few lapses that were costly. I thought we were on top in the scrum tonight and we controlled the lineout well but there's an awful lot of work for us to do.
"We are making it incredibly hard for ourselves by going behind early and it's a huge ask to come back despite a rally we have in the second half."

Beefing up the raw food presence
Natural food markets and co-ops around the country are really beefing up their raw food presence, and I'm not talking raw meat here. Even my tiny organic co-op in Delaware, Newark Natural Foods, now has a whole shelf dedicated to raw snacks. They also have one entire refrigerated section devoted to Raw Life Line prepared raw meals. Raw food goodness in your local store? What is the world coming to?
Westerly Natural Market in Manhattan is perfect example of what the world is coming to. The stores manager, Harry B., recently sent me a series of photos that showcase just how far this natural foods store has taken its raw food presence.
It use to be that you could only get prepared raw food online. Some of the original raw food pioneers even had entire chapters in their books dedicated to the hardships of finding raw food locally. This is all changing very quickly. Now I know it isn't like Walmart sells Young Thai Coconuts (oh wait, they do!).....well I know they don't sell Nature's First Law Goji Berries, so there is a lot of room left to grow, but something magical is happening here - every year it is getting exponentially easier to find and to eat raw food.
But how will we know that a real dent has been made? Here are a few of the major milestones, some more effective than others, that WLIR is keeping a look out for:
- Ultra-sheik, ultra-expensive "raw" branded alcohol at trendy night clubs and restaurants
- Raw Organic Agave Nectar at Starbucks
- Dairy-Free Super Food Smoothies at fast food chains like TCBY or Dairy Queen
- Pure Food and Wine / One Lucky Duck raw ice cream at Whole Foods Markets
- Goji berry and cacao trail mixes at airport newspaper stands
- Complimentary green drinks at the office water cooler (hey, gotta keep those health care costs down)
What are your thoughts? Where are you hoping raw food will pop-up next?

It's time for the new integration
Digital, advertising, or social isn't enough anymore. Nick Gill, Planning Director at Doner, explains why new thinking on integration is so desperately needed. [From an article originally published in Marketing Week in 2010.]
Some people would have you believe that advertising is dead. Some claim that digital is old hat (check out the multiple blog posts on our "post-digital world"). Even the Digirati are heralding the new online king, Social Media the First.
But there's something wrong here. This is all channel-based thinking. Thinking that suggests one media must rule them all.
The real story
Advertising isn't dead. It's thriving. And evolving. We're watching more TV than ever before but in new and interesting ways, and on new and interesting devices. The traditional 'spot' is morphing into short-film, often released as excerpts or episodes, to encourage sharing and get people clamouring for more. Outdoor has evolved to become interactive, and even press can now take the form of video.
Digital isn't dead. It's thriving. And evolving. Social might still be in its infancy, but it's maturing each day. Some brands have already gone a long way to weave social media into their activities; others are still experimenting.
But, with each new technology and experience that arrives, comes new and exciting ways to realise the potential of connecting brands, consumers and communities.
"In a time when people are disagreeing over what media takes top spot, and what is the next big thing, a little calm and a lot of perspective is required."
Despite the evolution of advertising, digital and social, it seems that brands and agencies are still pledging their allegiance to just one or two of these disciplines. 'Integrated' appears to be a dirty word these days.
Why? Maybe because integrated smacks of what advertising agencies used to do when they were scared of wave upon wave of digital 'stuff' and either bought new media shops or just said they did everything anyway.
In those days, what integrated really meant was augmented advertising. An ad campaign that had a matching microsite and a few half-hearted banner ads featuring the main campaign image and a gratuitous "click here". As long as everything carried the same strapline it ticked the box called integrated.
Welcome to the new integration
Digital has come a long way since then. Broadband is now ubiquitous, social networking is a way of life and 3 and 4G mobile means we're always on, wherever we are. In fact, digital is making advertising more exciting. It's providing more opportunities to create, distribute, engage, share, entertain, participate and amplify. It's moved advertising from being more accessible to being an opportunity for conversation.
So, it's time to revisit integrated.
The new integration is about digital enabling an idea, making it meaningful and participatory. It's about taking an idea beyond the screen and into the real world.
As users, we don't passively view or actively participate in silos. We don't think in these terms, we just do what we do. Mashing is second nature; we'll happily listen to the radio while we drive, or use the laptop or mobile while we watch TV.
We blend.
We instinctively demand more integrated experiences from brands. And we expect them on-demand.
At the same time, we expect relevant, meaningful experiences. We demand relevance because we live in a connected, seamless world fuelled by technology where things that have no value can be filtered out as unnecessary noise. This is most relevant to us as advertisers.
We need to be jettisoning the silos and getting the right people together to create these multi-layered, seamless experiences. People who understand digital and all its possibilities within a broader context, as well as those who understand how to make brands interesting.
Digital needs to come up from the basement. Social needs to come out of the bedroom. Advertising needs to come out of the lounge. Media needs to come in from the kitchen. And analytics needs to come out of the cupboard. And they all need to meet in the room that hasn't been built yet. And do something extraordinary. Something relevant. And interesting. Together. And when this meeting has taken place, we can use spaces in the right way. We can be cohesive, and encourage deeper engagement, amplification and participation in order to ignite ideas. Not ideas that are dictated by channel but ideas that are just really good.
Integrated ideas
The new integration is about concepts that are born from smart, strategic thinking, that is curated from culturally good stuff and leans towards new technological possibilities. Ideas that are born of information, insight, and knowledge. Ideas that don't stop at launch, or after a six-week burst of media spend, but evolve through participation, active analytics and by absorbing content and engaged communities.
We're talking here about concepts that can be activated in interesting and extraordinary ways to challenge conventions, demand attention and harness the interactivity and social contagiousness that digital offers. Concepts that draw on both the consumer understanding of advertising, and the analytical rigour of direct marketing, then combine them with the possibilities of the digital, social and mobile world.
The drive for new integration
When you take a step back, it's clear that huge cultural shifts are driving the need for this new integration.
Just doing digital, or advertising, or social isn't enough anymore. The new integration is about the seamless convergence of all of them.
That's what's truly needed.
That's what we're building here at Doner.

So there I was, at the second 6th Congressional District debate, held by The Salem News and The Jewish Journal. Participants were again, in alphabetical order, Libertarian Daniel Fishman, incumbent Democrat John Tierney, and fiscal conservative-social liberal Republican challenger Richard Tisei. I'll try to show you what the evening was like.
I took advantage of the Danvers debate site to stop for a quick supper at Brothers Restaurant. Got talking with the owner about his recent trip to Greece so reached the high school later than I'd planned, in a frame of mind to be very concerned about our country following Greece into debt perdition. Was surprised, on a rainy evening, to see so many signholders lined up along the entranceway; there seemed to be many more signs for Tierney.
Therefore I was surprised to find that there were many more Tisei than Tierney supporters inside the auditorium. Guess some union guys came early to do their duty and then went home, and that's OK.
The format was simple: questions from three panelists for all three candidates to answer. First question, how would you get people back to work? Tierney began by talking about the President's "jobs bill," which encouraged Fishman to note that government doesn't create jobs, with which thought Tisei agreed, then noted the things that government's been doing to prevent job creation, creating instead uncertainty about taxes and regulation.
To clarify this point, Fishman offered his original "First three are free" proposal to employers: hire three new employees with no paperwork, no government requirements or roadblocks, just give them a paycheck. He said that there are many one-person businesses that would quickly hire someone to help if it was a simple thing to do.
Tisei noted that five organizations, rating Congress on business-climate issues, gave Tierney scores ranging from 19 percent from the National Chamber of Commerce, to zero percent with the National Federation of Independent Businesses and National Retail Association; two other Massachusetts Democrats got as high as 66 percent. Tierney responded by calling the groups "all wings of the Republican Party." Tisei told him that "small businesses aren't partisan, they're job creators."

Althea, I see and visualize you walking around heaven with Harriett, Martin, Malcolm, John Brown, Nat, George, Clara, Billie etc. You fed the hungry – mentally, spiritually and physically – and clothed the needy.

Hidden among the almond groves outside of Chowchilla, California, lies the largest women's prison complex in the world, Central California Women's Facility (CCWF) and Valley State Prison for Women (VSPW), where an estimated 11,000 women are held behind bars. "Conditions are horrible," said Mary Van Der Horst, a member of All of Us or None, a group of former prisoners organizing for civil and human rights. Van Der Horst said that there is not enough food and hygiene is poor at the two facilities.

Marshfield pushed its lead to as many as 11 points in the fourth quarter before staving off a furious Lady Liberator rally in the closing minutes. The Lady Jays held on for a 54-51 victory, and earned a key Central Ozarks Conference Small Division win with the triumph.
"It was ugly on both ends," said first-year Marshfield head coach Shelly Jones of the sloppy first-half. "The game was just kind of turnover after turnover, on both sides. Neither of us was getting into a groove with things, and it was all fundamentals for us. And that was probably what I drove home more than anything is just be fundamentally sound. We've got to execute, and we've been preaching execution all week long. In the fourth quarter, I think we reeled off four plays that we scored on in a row and that's progress for me to see."
Marshfield junior standout Lauren Aldridge, who verbally committed to play at Kansas University earlier this week, led the Lady Jays with 20 points, but received plenty of help, as fellow classmates Makenna Smith and Allison VanDiggelen both added eight points apiece. Sophomore Madison Campbell led Bolivar with 12 points, while junior Daiwa Emmert added 11, including a pair of fourth quarter three-pointers to key Bolivar's rally.
"I think more of what she was saying was just that we need to work harder," said Aldridge of Coach Jones' halftime speech. "We made a few adjustments to what we were doing, but we needed to execute, too. We were running a lot of our offense and we weren't getting what we wanted off of it."
"They came out and kind of smacked us in the mouth there in the third quarter," said Bolivar head coach Darin Archer. "That's where you got to give Marshfield credit. Their girls stepped up and had a point to prove. We dug ourselves a hole. Not necessarily that we dug ourselves a hole, but Marshfield put us behind the eight ball. We had to really scramble throughout the fourth quarter just to make it a ballgame."
There are no easy road games in the COC Small, and Marshfield had to fight until the final buzzer to earn the victory. The win over Bolivar closed out a stretch which had the Lady Jays playing six of their last seven games on the road, including trips to Class 1 #1 Walnut Grove and Class 4 #2 Republic. Marshfield will return home Monday night to host Hollister after running its COC mark to 2-0 with the win over Bolivar.
"It's huge," said Coach Jones of the conference road win. "That's exactly what I just told the kids, 'you went on the road and you got a huge win in the COC.' We know how tough that is, because we've been going away and playing the large COC's, as well, and every game in the COC so far has been on the road. To come in here and beat a really good, solid team…give them credit, they fought until the very end."
"It's very, very, very rewarding," echoed Aldridge on the conference win. "I give a lot of credit to Bolivar, they were a great team. They're very well-coached, and all of the girls know what they're doing, so for us to come into their place and get a win, it was very rewarding."
After missing the beginning of the season with a foot injury, Aldridge is still working toward being 100 percent.
One thing that Aldridge will not have to worry about is where she will play collegiately, as the Lady Jayhawks will be getting one of the Ozarks' best.
"It's amazing," said Aldridge of her verbal commitment to KU. "Just dealing with all the recruiting stuff, it was a weight on me. To get all that off and know where I'm going and start building relationships with the coaches there, it's very, very nice."
"Lauren Aldridge is a special player," said Archer. "I think the thing that Coach Jones is doing with that group, though, is they are a lot more than just a one-man show. They're well disciplined, they play good defense, and they're playing pretty good basketball at the right time down the stretch."
The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Bolivar. The Lady Liberators return to action Monday night with a trip to COC rival Buffalo.
"I think there's a lot we can learn from it, as far as individuals and collectively as a team," said Archer of the loss. "A couple weeks back, when we were pressured like this, we had a tendency to go away and hide. I felt like we took a positive step in coming back and answering the call. Anytime you've got a young group, that's what you're looking for. I never take small victories after a loss, but at the same time, I felt like there's a lot of things we've done better and improved upon in the past couple weeks."
With Districts looming in just three weeks, the Lady Jays will be working on fundamentals. "I think we just got to grow, keep maturing," said Jones. "Fundamentals are huge. Right now, we're just throwing the basketball from the side of our hip or we're not looking before we throw, we're not squaring up, the little things. That's kind of a positive for me, because that's all fixable. We keep growing every game on fixable things."
Just another ho-hum night in the COC Small.

Sean Marshall picked up his first win of the season, allowing just three hits and striking out three in 6innings. He retired the first 10 New Orleans batters he faced in a I-Cubs win.
If Marshall can sustain this type of pitching he could be a valuable piece of the rotation or possibly long reliever. Guzman will have to keep up his performance or else Marshall could be set to take the 5th starter spot. This is a good problem to have. At the conclusion of Guzman's two more starts, Marshall will have three starts also under his belt. We will know at that time if the 5th starter spot is up for grabs.
How many of you would llike to see another left handed starter in our rotation? Is Wade Miller even an option any more? If Guzman falters, is the job Marshall's (as long as he pitches well) or do we look at Mateo? Please discuss!

Tune into real life, not celebrities
Amber McKenna
Features editor
If you have ever flipped through the TV channels at 5 or 6 p.m., you have probably experienced the following:
You stop on a local news channel, and a story starts of a young kid gone missing. A friend chimes, "I don't want to watch the news; it's too depressing."
You continue to flip and make it up to the double-digit channels where you may decide on a rerun of "Law and Order: SVU." You get comfortable and watch the hour-long drama. The story unfolds about a young gymnast who was brutally kidnapped and eventually killed.
Now I ask this: How is this not depressing!?!
The American public has an obsession with realistic dramas, whether it is law enforcement, crime or medical.
Why do we avoid the news and instead settle on a gruesome tale in which blood and guts plots unfold before our eyes?
It is the same type of thing with celebrity gossip. We love to talk about just how messed up Britney is, and what crazy thing cracked-out Amy Winehouse will do next.
However, when someone talks about a friend of yours who is going through a bad time, how do you react? You're angry of course; these things are private. If you were the subject of gossip, you would be hurt.
We're all guilty; it's hard not to be. The racks of tabloids practically shout out to us. Many seem to think they have a right to know what is going on in the lives of those in the public eye. What everyone needs to remember is celebrities are people, too. They have feelings, and they are trying to deal with some terrible things, things that happen to many people on a daily basis.
Celebrities don't seem real to us, which makes them so easy to talk about. Rather than worrying about your friend with an eating disorder, you can ponder the weight of Nicole Richie. It makes it distant from yourself.
We thrive on the security blanket of fiction. The tabloids and TV dramas are just imitations of possible real-life experiences.
Watching the news, you hear names and see pictures of people who really exist. Stories are shared by real people who are affected by the events that occurred and you can see their emotion. But, we flip the channel or turn off the TV.
I do it too. It is hard to sleep when you think of some of the things that go on in the world. The fictional version makes it easier to digest. I, for one, am going to try a little harder to face reality.
My new goal is simple: For every hour of "CSI" or "House" I watch, I am going to watch a half an hour of news. If I catch myself reading about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's theories on parenting, I'm going to give my own parents a call instead.

I may regret this as every time I say something like this Monta comes back and plays one of his lower efficiency games. But, after watching Lee and Curry play somewhat low hoops IQ games vs Utah, and Monta simply win the game for us, I'll admit, maybe it's time to review my take on Monta. (And on Lee.)
Another thing to remember about Monta is his crazy endurance. He just doesn't get tired, ever. This is huge especially on back to backs.
Also, maybe Jae or someone can back it up for me, but it seems Monta is slowly understanding when to do his thing and when to lay back and let it come to him more. It sure seems like it lately.
As for Lee. We've all discussed it. With a large, defensive presence at C Lee would probably look better. As it is he's still a good player. But, it is possible he isn't as good as I thought.
Lee: Buff up next offseason. You need to get stronger, less pudgy.
As for Smart, i've also laid into him, but there may be something here. Perhaps his nice guy thing helps when it comes to benching guys for long stretches and not losing them as players. Curry tonight and Lee last night simply got benched for loooong stretches since things were going better without them. Props to Smart too.
But it all comes back to Monta tonight and in general, and i'm starting to wonder if instead of trading one of Curry and Monta we shouldn't instead look to simply add beef, toughness and good D players everywhere else we can around them instead.
Monta: As long as you continue to grow (i.e. not force things, play efficiently for a SG) I will continue to admit I may have been wrong and you may be a keeper. Tonight was crazy good (and Utah actually had more luck, with those desperation bank heaves and i thought more calls.)

[UPDATE: The Official Publisher's Blurb for the book:]
When Hugh MacLeod was a struggling young copywriter, living in a YMCA, he started to doodle on the backs of business cards while sitting at a bar. Those cartoons eventually led to a popular blog – gapingvoid.com – and a reputation for pithy insight and humor, in both words and pictures.Posted by hugh macleod at April 13, 2009 8:21 AM | TrackBack
MacLeod has opinions on everything from marketing to the meaning of life, but one of his main subjects is creativity. How do new ideas emerge in a cynical, risk-averse world? Where does inspiration come from? What does it take to make a living as a creative person?
Now his first book, Ignore Everyone, expands on his sharpest insights, wittiest cartoons, and most useful advice. A sample:
* Selling out is harder than it looks. Diluting your product to make it more commercial will just make people like it less.
* If your plan depends on you suddenly being "discovered" by some big shot, your plan will probably fail. Nobody suddenly discovers anything. Things are made slowly and in pain.
* Don't try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether. There's no point trying to do the same thing as 250,000 other young hopefuls, waiting for a miracle. All existing business models are wrong. Find a new one.
* The idea doesn't have to be big. It just has to be yours. The sovereignty you have over your work will inspire far more people than the actual content ever will.
After learning MacLeod's 40 keys to creativity, you will be ready to unlock your own brilliance and unleash it on the world.
About the Author
Hugh MacLeod worked as an advertising copywriter for more than a decade, while developing his skills as a cartoonist and pundit. His blog is Gaping Void, and more than a million people have downloaded the original post that inspired this book, "How To Be Creative." He also lectures and consults on Web 2.0 and its impact on business.
Looks like a good read. Congrats Hugh.Posted by: Marshall Kirkpatrick at April 13, 2009 10:32 AM
So, you mention numerous distributors (Amazon, B&N, etc.) but I am interested - which method maximizes YOUR profit? That way, I know which place to order from.Posted by: Jim at April 13, 2009 8:52 PM
Jim, they all are very helpful for me, in different ways, so... I'll let you choose ;-)Posted by: hugh macleod at April 13, 2009 11:38 PM

Is someone in your life ready to make a change?
At one time or another, many individuals become addicted to a medication, recreational drugs, alcohol, or nicotine. Recovery is a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.
But if you or someone you love has made or considered the decision to quit using drugs or alcohol, now what?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has outlined four major dimensions that support a life in recovery: health, home, purpose, and community. The following are guiding principles of recovery.
Recovery emerges from hope: The belief that recovery is real provides the essential and motivating message of a better future that people can and do overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them. Recovery is person-driven: Self-determination and self-direction are the foundations for recovery as individuals define their own life goals and design their unique paths. Recovery occurs via many pathways: Individuals are unique with distinct needs, strengths, preferences, goals, culture, and backgrounds, including trauma experiences that affect and determine their pathway to recovery. Abstinence is the safest approach for those with substance use disorders.
Recovery is holistic: Recovery encompasses an individuals whole life, including mind, body, spirit, and community. The array of services and supports available should be integrated and coordinated.
Recovery is supported by peers and allies: Mutual support and mutual aid groups, including the sharing of experiential knowledge and skills, as well as social learning, play an invaluable role in recovery.
Recovery is supported through relationship and social networks: An important factor in the recovery process is the presence and involvement of people who believe in the persons ability to recover; who offer hope, support, and encouragement; and who suggest strategies and resources for change. Recovery is culturally based and influenced: Culture and cultural background in all of its diverse representations including values, traditions, and beliefs are keys in determining a persons journey and unique pathway to recovery.
Recovery is supported by addressing trauma: Services and supports should be trauma-informed to foster safety (physical and emotional) and trust, as well as promote choice, empowerment, and collaboration.
Recovery involves individual, family, and community strengths and responsibility: Individuals, families, and communities have strengths and resources that serve as a foundation for recovery.
Recovery is based on respect: Community, systems, and societal acceptance and appreciation for people affected by mental health and substance use problems including protecting their rights and eliminating discrimination are crucial in achieving recovery.
You or your loved one have made a very important and difficult decision. Take the next step and follow through in the decision to quit using. For more information and resources for drug addiction recovery, visit www.co.thurston.wa.us/health/sscd or contact Diana Cockrell at 360-867-2511, email@example.com, or the Crisis Clinic 24 hours a day at 360-586-2800.

Another MACS convention is in the books, and from what I recall of the last 5 I've attended, this has to rank as one of the best.
The first day is one of meetings for some, and fun for others. Early arrivals came to take advantage of the annual MACS golf tournament to have some fun and test their skills on one of the PGA's premier courses. While some MACS members were playing, the members of the SAE Interior Climate Control committee spent their day in meetings, as did the members of the Car Care Council's Women's Board.
Day two is really the kick off for the convention, and it started off at full speed with a MACS general membership meeting at 8:00 a.m., followed immediately by numerous training opportunities. Those interested in passenger car/light truck training had noted trainers like G. "Jerry" Truglia, John Anello, Mark Ingram, and Dave Hobbs to select from on Thursday while the heavy duty/off road techs had an all day session with trainers representing Denso, Caterpillar, Air Pro and more.
Day three had even more training available as MACS partner, AVI, entered the show. In total, there were 13 different offerings covering the morning and afternoon sessions to choose from. Dwain Deville, the author of "The Biker's Guide to Business" was the keynote speaker at the luncheon meeting, and shared valuable insights on managing a successful business, but the big event of the day had to be the opening of the trade show to the attendees. The trade show was well attended, with several new exhibitors present. That evening, a welcoming reception allowed everyone to wind down, reconnect with od friends, and make lots of new ones.
Normally, the last day of the MACS convention is slow and easy, with many attendees in the past leaving early in the day to return home. Not this year, as training events were available all day long and the trade show remained open until 2:30 that afternoon. All of the events seemed to be well attended, as many of the members and guests took advantage of the additional opportunities and planning their departures for that evening or the next morning instead.
Another "don't miss" event on the last day of the show is the EPA presentation and Ward Atkinson's "State of the Industry" presentation. You'll find additional coverage on what was discussed here.
Next year, the MACS convention returns to the Rio in Las Vegas. And if next year is anything like this year, you won't want to miss it!

CATOOSA COUNTY, GA (WRCB) -- Last Friday Michael Moore's home went up in flames. The entire house was engulfed within minutes.
"It's my own fault," Moore says.
One cigarette, that's all it took to burn down the house Michael called home since he was five.
"Put my cigarette out in the ash tray and dumped it in the garbage can full of tissues," he explains. That morning he went back to bed. As he began to doze off he smelled smoke.
"When I opened my bedroom door everything was ablaze," says Michael. He only had minutes to salvage what he could, in the process he cut his wrist.
"I was worried about my cat, Fuzzy," says Michael.
His cat managed to escape the roaring fire which reached his gun ammunition and a propane tank causing an explosion. That's when Michael's neighbor, Pastor David Sampson ran to help.
"He went back to his house and got me a dry pair of shoes and a dry pair of socks. That meant so much to me because my feet were wet and they were freezing," says Michael.
He watched as the home he helped build with his father burned. "He left the house to me knowing that I would be responsible enough to take care of it, but I let him down there," says Michael.
Now he's staying with his next door neighbors and Sampson's Fort Oglethorpe church donated clothes. "I've never had clothes this nice," says Michael.
He may have a long road ahead of him but right now he feels grateful for his neighbors and the church. "For them to step up and help me, its humbling," Michael says.
Michael did not have smoke detectors or insurance. He wants to rebuild on his property but says he'll take it one step at a time.

Best German Metal
8 01. Burden of Grief
(1994 – present)
Melodic death metal. The original line-up consisted of the singer Mike Huhmann, drummer Christoph Schellöh and the two guitar-players Oliver Eikenberg and Philipp Hanfland. Bass-player Ulrich Busch joined the band several months later. Together with him the band recorded their first demo-tape "A Duet Of Thoughts" in spring '96.
Three best albums in my opinion:
7 02. Kreator
Essen, Germany (1982 – present)
Thrash metal. Originally started under the name Metal Militia, later Tyrant and Tormentor, finally Kreator. Starting their career in 1982, they played Thrash Metal with Venom influences. Their style of music is similar to their compatriots Destruction and Sodom, the other two big teutonic thrash metal bands from Germany. All three of these bands are often credited with helping create death metal.
Three best albums in my opinion:
8.3 03. Equilibrium
Munich, Germany (2001 – present)
Folk metal. They released a very positively acclaimed demo at the beginning of 2003, which brought them a record deal with the label Black Attakk. Their debut, Turis Fratyr, was released on February 15, 2005. In October 2006 they signed with Nuclear Blast. They recorded their new album 'Sagas' in January 2007. The album was made available worldwide on July 8, 2008.
Three best albums in my opinion:
8 04. Varg
7.1 05. Rammstein
Berlin, Germany (1994 – present)
German metal. Consists of Till Lindemann (lead vocals), Richard Kruspe (lead guitar and backing vocals), Paul Landers (rhythm guitar, backing vocals), Oliver Riedel (bass guitar, "Ollie"), Christoph Schneider (drums and Electronic percussion, "Doom") and Christian Lorenz (keyboards, "Flake"). The band is widely accepted as part of the Neue Deutsche Härte scene, alongside bands such as Oomph!, Laibach, and Die Krupps. Their songs are performed almost exclusively in German.
Three best albums in my opinion:
7.7 06. Caliban
Germany (1997 – present)
Metalcore. Was formed under the name Never Again. After 6 months of playing together, the band recorded their first two songs for a compilation, which was never released. The songs were sent to several record labels, and Lifeforce Records was the first to offer the band a record deal. The band's first self-titled MCD came out in the summer of 1998. To promote the CD, Caliban played many shows all over Europe and a few support shows for bands like Morning Again, Earth Crisis, and Cro-Mags.
Three best albums in my opinion:
7.3 07. Heaven Shall Burn
Saalfeld, Germany (1996 – present)
Was formed the name 'Consense'. With the recording of their second demo in early 1997 the band changed their name to 'Heaven Shall Burn'. The name is taken from a Marduk album titled "Heaven Shall Burn… When We Are Gathered". In an interview with the band at decoymusic.com, the band said: "It's not that we're huge Marduk fans, but we liked the name. It sounds a bit provoking and so people ask us again and again for the meaning behind our name. It has been like that since the very beginning.
Three best albums in my opinion:
9.3 08. Disillusion
(1994 – present)
A fundamental question came up for DISILLUSION only a few months after the release of BACK TO TIMES OF SPLENDOR: What does this band want? Where does it want to go?
At the end of day, all participants knew that the final chords on BTTOS set the seal on the inevitable: All has been said; it has been done. You could improve the sound, write even better riffs, you could sing even more pompously of pain and suffering and pathos; but nothing substantial could be added to the record.
Three best albums in my opinion:
(They've released only these two thus far)
9 09. KadavriK
(2003 - present)
Their music can roughly be described as melodic black metal with strong melodic death metal influences. Since the foundation in 2003/2004 the band played more than 60 gigs, with the bands performances granting lots of positive reception and loyal fans. They released two full length albums so far, "...The Die Is Cast" (2008) and "Wine Will Turn To Blood Again" (2009), which both recieved great reviews and were commended for the production, the artwork and most of all, the music itself.
Three best albums in my opinion:
8.3 010. Die Apokalyptischen Reiter
7 011. The Vision Bleak
6.9 012. Blind Guardian

Found this bike in the same city that i'm going to tomorrow to check out a Spec bike. Figure I might give it a look. What are your guys' thoughts on this bike? Especially considering its age...
It looks nice to me and if it fit me really and feels great to ride and the price could come down a bit i'd be pretty tempted to consider it. Any thoughts on where the price should be on a bike like this? how much do you think I should offer? other thoughts?
