First Lady's good luck message
US First Lady Michelle Obama today gave her own personal good luck message to Team USA ahead of tonight's opening ceremony for the Olympics.
Mrs Obama urged America's athletes to "have fun, breathe a bit, but also win", as she met them at their training base in east London.
The First Lady is leading the US presidential delegation which includes a ringside seat at tonight's ceremony.
She began her trip to the capital with a visit to the University of East London, Team USA's home during the Games, and will also take part in a Let's Move! event, as well as joining a reception at Buckingham Palace.
Mrs Obama, sporting a red top and red and white jacket, wished her Olympians good luck at a breakfast event.
– US First Lady, Michelle Obama
Wow, I'm going to be saying that a lot over the next few days. Wow, wow!
I can't believe I am here, I am beyond proud.
Thank you so much, it's a pleasure and a joy and an honour for me to be here with all of you.
I can't begin to tell you how amazing it is for me to be leading the delegation
You guys look pretty focused and you should be.
You all take advantage of everything - stop, look around you.
In my position sometimes I don't get a chance to breathe, take it in.
Try to have fun, breathe a bit, but also win.
She spoke of her fond memories of the Olympics.
– US First Lady, Michelle Obama
Some of my fantastic memories growing up, and even as an adult, involved watching the Olympics on TV.
I was just in awe of these athletes and my family, we would sit together for hours watching these men and women perform feats of endurance, speed and grace that would have us cheering at the top of our lungs."
After her speech, Mrs Obama met the athletes, posing for photographs, before leaving for a Let's Move! sporting event at the US Ambassador's residence in central London for about 1,000 US military children plus US and British students.
The initiative, created by the First Lady, aims to combat childhood obesity within a generation.

UC Riverside's Student Senate wants to send a message to Israel about its policies towards the Palestinian people.
At its meeting last week, the student group passed a resolution calling on the University of California to pull out of its investments with Israel. The resolution likened the action to anti-apartheid efforts in the 1980s that eventually led to the University of California divesting itself from companies doing business with South Africa.
"South African apartheid was ended by a large movement of student governments across the United States and college systems world wide," the resolution said.
The resolution highlighted such controversial issues as the border wall between Israel and the West Bank and the building of settlements in Palestinian occupied territories.
It called for divesting from such companies as Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Raytheon.
The action has drawn criticism from at least one former UCR student, who called the move misguided.
"It seems very off base of what the student body should be doing," said Isaak Koenka, who said he graduated from the Riverside campus in 2008. "I hate to see young kids indoctrinated and being convinced a democratic ally in the Middle East is a bad thing. "
The resolution says, "it is imperative for students to stand unequivocally against all forms of racism and bigotry globally and on campus, including but not limited to Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia, patriarchy, and Israel's system of apartheid."
Koenka said he couldn't help but see the resolution as anti-Semitic, since it attacked the State of Israel. He also criticized comparing the current situation there with South Africa's apartheid system.
"It's (like) calling the color red, polka dot," he said.

Indranil Bhaduri
End of Existence
A breathing bud of life
Lived inside her womb,
Waiting to take a plunge
Into the beautiful crooked world,
In the broad shining daylight.
The closed eyes and the kicks
Made her turn crimson red,
As she blushed feeling shy,
Expressing her eternal glee,
With happy tears as she shed.
Time moved on
As the sharp social claws,
Pounced on the maiden,
And she screamed and cried,
To save the heartbeats inside
But all in vain!
The blood flowing on the floor
Announced the annihilation of existence,
As the budding seed and the lass
Were not there to smile anymore!

In celebration of the 16Oth birthday of its founder, Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel, the Jack Daniel Distillery is releasing a special commemorative bottle to mark the historic occasion.

The limited edition release is part of a month-long celebration to honor the founder. The square, black bottle with red accents and smoke grey metallic foil will feature a neck tag with a reference number so purchasers can register their bottle on JackDaniels.com.

D-II girls hoops: Seton seeded No. 1, others could surprise
Originally published: Feb 18, 2014 - 12:00 am
The Division II state girls basketball tournament proved to be an exciting one in the 2012-13 season, as Scottsdale Saguaro emerged with the No. 8 seed and went all the way to claim the crown.
Will a similar situation occur this time around? The prospects are intriguing.
Saguaro was unable to earn a first-round bye on Feb. 19, and comes in at No. 10. The Sabercats will play host to No. 23 Phoenix Washington.
Saguaro is led by guards Casey Rarrick and Jelani Huma.
Chandler Seton Catholic, which reached the semifinals as the No. 2 seed a year ago, is the top seed this year.
No matter which division or section in which Seton competes, it always seems to be at the top of its game under Karen Self, one of the state's top coaches.
Seton opens play in the second round on Feb. 21 along with the other top seven seeds that received first-round byes.
The seven are No. 2 Phoenix Sierra Linda, No. 3 Vail Cienega, No. 4 Phoenix Thunderbird, No. 5 Flagstaff Coconino, No. 6 Yuma Cibola, No. 7 Tucson Flowing Wells, and No. 8 Phoenix South Mountain.
South Mountain held the top spot for most of the second half of the regular season, but slipped to the No. 8 spot on the final list.
If you are looking for potential surprises, keep an eye on Thunderbird, Flowing Wells, No. 9 Tempe Marcos de Niza, No. 12 Buckeye or the winner of a first-round game on Feb. 19 between No. 18 Peoria and No. 15 Prescott Valley Bradshaw Mountain.
The quarterfinals will be held on Feb. 25 at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale. It also will be the site for the semifinals on Feb. 27 and the championship game on March 1.

Tow truck drivers from all over KOTA Territory and beyond gathered in Gillette Monday as a show of solidarity after a truck operator was hit and killed on Interstate 90.
"A lot of people don't move over," said Dave Keller, a tow truck operator from Rawlins, Wyo., in Gillette for the memorial. Tow truck drivers, standing on the side of the road, are always in harm's way. "I've had to jump out of the way a few times," Gus Sampson of Sundance, Wyo., said before the procession got under way. Larry Schofield, 65, didn't get that chance. He was struck and killed by a drunk driver last Sunday. "It's something I think about every day," said Gerald Bilger, another truck operator from Buffalo, Wyo. "I've got kids at home." Tow truck drivers from all over the region converged on Gillette as a show of solidarity.
Many of them had never even met the man they were honoring. "I just drove 250 miles to show support," Keller said. Nearly a hundred cars, trucks, and wreckers joined in. "If it was turned around," said Sampson, "I'd sure like a turnout like this if something like this happened to me or one of my help." Schofield was on the scene of another crash at the on-ramp to eastbound I-90 at exit 126.
Police say 28-year-old Justin Helsper hit the man with his car and kept driving. "You should have four sets of eyes just to watch things," Sampson said. "Just drive safe out there," added Keller. "Watch out for the tow man." Police caught up with Helsper a few miles down the road. A highway patrol spokesman told KOTA the next day the driver was "quite impaired." "We never know who's driving what vehicle and how they're driving," Bilger said. "There's nothing we can say that'll make this any better for the family," said Sampson, "but we try to do something."
Drivers are legally bound to move over if they see flashing lights.
Helsper was arrested and charged with aggravated vehicular homicide following the incident. He has an initial court appearance at the end of the month.

For Sikorsky, 2013 was a mixed bag, according to company president Mick Maurer, who gave his company's year-end summary presentation yesterday at Heli-Expo. While the company reached a record backlog of more than $15 billion, it also recorded an 8-percent drop in sales, to $6.3 billion, the decrease driven largely by a drop-off in U.S. government orders on both the OEM side and the aftermarket segment last year.
Sikorsky Aircraft highlighted its past achievements, and their influence on the company's current direction, in introducing its theme of "Technology Meets Tradition" at Heli-Expo 2014 on Tuesday.
The joint venture between Tata Advanced Systems and Sikorsky has delivered its first fully indigenous S-92 cabin. The Indian operation is now not only assembling cabins but also producing more than 5,000 associated precision components. At the Hyderabad factory, the capacity has reached four S-92 cabins per month and the 50th was produced in October.
PHI flew the first operational automated "rig approach" to a platform in the Gulf of Mexico in a Sikorsky S-92 on November 14. Sikorsky and PHI developed the system to reduce pilot workload and the FAA approved its functionality earlier this year. The system is expected to be offered on the Sikorsky S-76D as well.
The first customer delivery of the Sikorsky S-76D medium-twin helicopter is "imminent," the Stratford, Conn.-based aircraft manufacturer said. According to a Sikorsky executive, the first example will be handed over this month to an offshore operator in the Gulf of Mexico. The first executive S-76D is scheduled for delivery in January to a customer in Europe. The OEM expects EASA certification toward the end of the year.
Sikorsky Aircraft is developing a set of hardware and software capabilities to support autonomous flight of unmanned or optionally piloted vertical-lift aircraft. Executives said the goal is to deliver an order of magnitude improvement in the safety and reliability of unmanned aircraft, which experience losses at a rate of once every 1,000 flight hours.
Mitsubishi has contracted with Sikorsky to acquire 11 S-76Ds for search-and-rescue operations by the Japan Coast Guard. Meanwhile, in China, Citic Offshore Helicopter has ordered two S-92s for offshore oil transportation. Sikorsky plans to deliver the new S-92s in December next year and March 2015. In another Chinese deal, Sikorsky and Zhuhai Helicopter announced a contract for four Sikorsky S-92s to be used for offshore missions.
Sikorsky Aerospace Services (SAS), the aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft, now has parts warehouse in Brazil to support commercial operators of the S-76 and S-92 in that country. Powerpack, Sikorsky's long-standing Brazilian representative, will manage inventory operations through the country's special customs system known as Depósito Especial.
Spectrum Aeromed is displaying one of its medical interiors in a Lloyd Helicopters Sikorsky S-76 with Spectrum's 2200 "short box" life support system at the Lloyd exhibit (Static No. C35). In addition, the Lloyd machine is equipped with a 1461 Med Wall, SLA locks and a 1203 stretcher. "The S-76 install from Lloyd Helicopters is only one of many configurations and customizable options we offer," said Spectrum v-p Ricky Reno.
In a ceremony at the Sikorsky exhibit yesterday, the company celebrated its 90th anniversary in homage to its founder and aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky. The crowd of some 300 at Booth No. C5028 listened to Sikorsky's story in his own words, words that still resonate in the industry and that included the admonishment, "In aviation, use the word 'impossible' with the greatest care." Sikorsky president Mick Maurer concluded the ceremony by offering his own view of the future, saying the obligation of Sikorsky over the next 90 years is to continue to push the boundaries.

I haven't done one of these "Consider" posts in a while. I hope to knock out a few this week.
If you're just joining us... as I come across material that I think would make good fodder for films, I'm sharing them here - from my Jackie Ormes piece, to The Black Count, to Ikire Jones: Lagos 2081 A.D., to Ghana's Leti Games and also Vanessa's The Sweet Hell Inside: The Rise of an Elite Black Family.
Today, consider the story of Sarah Rector - a young black girl born in Indian Territory on March 3, 1902, who, after humble early years, would go on to make headlines when she came into sudden wealth via oil rich land, after her parents died.
Courtesy of The Afrofuturist Affair:
Little Sarah Rector, a former slave, became one of the richest little girls in America in 1914. Rector had been born among the Creek Indians, as a descendant of slaves. As a result of an earlier land treaty from the government. Back in 1887, the government awarded the Creek minors children 160 acres of land, which passed to Rector after her parents' deaths. Though her land was thought to be useless, oil was discovered in its depths in 1913, when she was just 10 years old. Her wealth caused immediate alarm and all efforts were made to put the child Sarah under "guardianship" of whites whose lives became comfortable immediately. Meanwhile Sarah still lived in humble surroundings. As white businessmen took control of her estate, efforts were also made to put her under control of officials at Tuskegee Institute. Much attention was given to Sarah in the press. In 1913, there was an effort to have her declared white, so that because of her millions she could ride in a first class car on the trains.
An absolutely fascinating story, isn't it? One that I'd never heard of before until this morning. And one that I'm sure you'd agree, would make for quite an interesting film.
I couldn't find a large photo of Sarah, so all there currently is online is the one on the left.
I did some further research and landed on the The African-Native American Genealogy Blog, which adds a bit more to the story, including the many marriage offers from around the world that Sarah received after the news of her sudden wealth traveled, as many everywhere fought to gain access this little girl's wealth. The blog also states that the black press at the time intervened in order to protect Sarah from all the leeches.
It's also said that she attended Tuskegee Institute, and after she completed her studies there, she moved to Kansas City. In 1922, she married a Kenneth Campbell, and owned lots of real estate in the city. The couple also entertained some of the black elite of the day.
Apparently, and maybe not surprisingly, there isn't much written about Sarah - especially her childhood and the latter days of her life, although the Genealogy blog states that a biography of her life is currently being written.
Sarah's father Joe Rector was the son of John Rector, a Creek Freedman. John Rector's father Benjamin McQueen, was a slave of Reilly Grayson a Creek Indian. John Rector's mother Mollie McQueen was a slave of Creek leader, Opothole Yahola.
As the blog notes, there's definitely a rich history here that deserves further research and exploration. Hopefully Sarah's bio will be completed and maybe film rights to it will be optioned.
Newspaper clippings below courtesy of The Afrofuturist Affair. You'll find even more HERE.

I would love to see a documentary on Sarah Rector's life. And I think it should be shared with the world.

This a Amazing Story!!!! I'm excited to Learn More.

There is a family of Campbell's living in Kansas City who are direct descendants of Sarah Rector and who attended her funeral in 1967, and took her back to Oklahoma to be buried after her death. Also there is much information that is available about her life and her contribution to the community in Kansas City during the 1930s, - 1950s.

This would make a great documentary. Very interesting story.

The Fabulous Life? Being manipulated by White Supremacy for your inheritance is a fabulous life? Even back then I bet she was getting treated raw and they took her land but kept her blind to it all.

I just read about this girl last week on Abagond's tumblr and first thought that came to mind was what a great film it would make. But I would prefer a documentary as well.
Troy | July 15, 2013 8:28 PM
This same land treaty lead to the development of Black Wallstreet in Tulsa which served as the setting of the 1920s racial riot. Where whites and clan members from the surrounding areas decimate the cities black economy.

I would like to see it become a PBS-style documentary. This story lies at a unique intersection of race and wealth, and I would hate to see it diminished by adding creative Hollywood flourishes for mass appeal.

I'm reading a lot of historical fiction nowadays, Sarah would be a fantastic person to focus on.

There is a great possibility she could be related to my family. I'm all on it!

The boy band making headlines off stage with their wild antics comes to Katie. Will their partying ways keep them from becoming the next "Fab Five"? The boys reveal why they are unafraid to show the world their reality. Plus, they perform their new song! Then, the viral music sensation that moved millions Zach Sobiech's family talks for the first time about their son's life and legacy.
If the Beatles were the Fab Four, the guys of The Wanted might be the Fab Five. The British boy band had the top song of last year, and now they're riding that wave of success here across the pond with a new reality show on E! called The Wanted Life.
"Hopefully we can evolve quickly enough to match the sound of the times." –Jay McGinness
After a series of auditions, The Wanted were formed by a record label in the UK in 2009. Now, four years later, the boy bad is on fire with their latest single "Walks Like Rihanna."
"We still haven't heard from Rihanna yet." –Siva Kaneswaran
#TheWanted were absolutely ADORABLE! @katiecouric

The Wanted is managed by Scooter Braun, the man who is also behind Justin Bieber. What do the boys think this famed manager saw in them? Plus, find out what the Fab Five revealed in Katie's Fast Five!
"I'd be a shark diver!" –Max George
@katieshow @thewanted Love this interview with the boys!! Thanks Katie! :)

The song "Clouds" is also topping the charts all over the country and the music video has been seen by nearly six and half million people on YouTube. It is sung by an inspiring Minnesota teenager named Zach Sobiech. After a four year battle with cancer marked by courage and grace, Zach Sobiech died on May 20th. But his story is really about living and not dying, as Amy Adamle, Zach's girlfriend, and Sammy Brown, Zach's best friend and bandmate, can attest.
"I don't think he ever realized what an impact he would make." –Sammy Brown
@katiecouric What a beautiful person he was. Hopefully your interview will build awareness. Thank you.
— Kathy (@KPdrumming) May 31, 2013
Zach's mom Laura could not join Katie in the studio because her daughter is getting married, but she was able to Skype in from her home in Lakeland, Minnesota. She reflects on his incredible life and final days.
"I always had this sense that there was something bigger that was meant to happen with this." –Laura Sobiech
@katiecouric What a beautiful interview with Zach's mom!Brought me to tears remembering my Mom's last moments. Just like Zach.

The man that put my fence up put the fence ten feet past MY property line towards my house which gave the neighbor more land.
The question is since that is my property on the otherside of the fence I can legally have the lanscaper weed wack it correct? He told me she got mad when he tried to do it. Now I don't think she realizes that the fence man put the fence ten feet in to my property.
So I am going to the town hall and get the deed and get a surveyor to put stakes up and this will show her where my property is. She has a day care and I am afraid the kid could get hurt on the stakes. They shouldn't be playing there in the first place without a fenced in yard but because we live at the end of a cul de sac she thinks it is safe. She does have a fenced in play yard in the back but she doesn't like to use it because she would have to have them climb stairs to get there or get back in the house and also she can see the parents pulling up in the front yard.
The reason I put the fence up in the first place was to keep her day care kids out of my driveway. I would come home in the winter and see there little foot prints in the snow and if they got hurt on my driveway and slipped the parents could sue me for not having it plowed, sanded etc. even though I was at work at the time.
So the fence took care of that problem but now they hang on the fence which isn't good either.
Question: Can I legally go around the fence and cut the weeds and if they find out its my property do I have to cut the grass too? Because that would really cause a problem with them. They cut theirs at different times than I do.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by shan, Apr 23, 2012.
Love the title and wonder who it refers to! I'm glad we're on time tonight.
I'm glad the Hicks can continue.
eta: so I missed last week. Did the Border Agents get to the U-Turn before Brenchel as well? If so, why didn't THEY do the U-Turn?
Border Agents did U-Turn Brenchel, but they were still irrationally angry that Rach/Dave didn't do it before them.
KY in last place and pukey has returned. I hope they make up some ground. Their bus ride seems way longer than the other teams.
Rachel "Of course I'm emotional. I'm a girl."
Yeah and did you hear Brendan's comment that it's good have a girl on the team to do stuff like dancing but it's bad b/c they're emotional. Idiot.
I missed that part. They deserve each other.
(((Bopper and Mark)))
(((Team Kentucky)))
Bopper and Mark. To me he looked so close on one of his attempts. I wonder if would have been better for him to stop and rest for 20 minutes and then begin again. It was sweet to see the relationship between the two.
Poor Bopper and Mark. That was the saddest thing I've ever seen . I hope it's a NEL, but I'm betting it isn't. There's already been two.
Awwww....: the crowd cheering him on was so sweet. I'm crying with them.
Couldn't happen to a better team. They are my favorite ever!
This is sad to see Bopper and Mark go out like this. Such a great friendship!
Wow - an NEL but how many hours are they behind?
Woohoo NEL!!!! I've never been so happy to see a NEL. I think Phil got a little choked up. I wonder how far behind they are.
Some interesting snippets for next week...
I'm afraid that as with the Fed Agents they'll be too far behind to have a real chance, but still yay for the NEL!
Does Vanessa dislocate her shoulder? Ouch.
Yay for the NEL!!
Next week looks good too!
Clearly, Rachel has never watched TAR before, or she would know the FF would involve shaving her head. (mad props to her if she goes through with it, though.)
Tweet from Phil.
Love Phil!
I've lost track, but it seems like there's a larger-than-usual number of Non-Elimination legs in this season. Am I wrong about that?
Not that I'm unhappy about it in this particular case!
First time ever that a reality show made me teary. Go Team Kentucky!
I couldn't hear them over Art (or JJ, who can tell?) whingeing over and over about how men just can't dance like chicks and how shameful it is to lose a sports-based task to a chick. And Army Rachel embodying the stereotype of crappy girl drivers and Dave saying the key is for her to "listen to her husband" (after she basically pwned the entire field in the Bollywood task). This episode was wall-to-wall gender cliches!
Pukey looked so close in some of those dances - way closer than the one they finally passed him on. That was a pity pass for sure
Me, too! When his fellow dance troupe piled on to hug him, it got to me a little bit. I hope they can make up the time somehow!
I've never been so happy for a NEL! I was all (like for real !) when they started showing their "time on the show" clip and thought they were toast. So happy they are still in the game!!! I thought they always saved the last NEL for the Final 4 and totally wasn't expecting it tonight.
But uhm, yeah ... that was totally a pity pass. But that's okay!! Its always okay if its a team I like! Compared to some of the other "snapshots" they showed of mistakes, uh yeah ... pity pass. OR: maybe there was like an unwritten production rule that "if you get up to an 11th try and still fail, you get an automatic 'pass' on the 12th try?
I'm assuming they still had to do the driving/cricket task and we just didn't see it, right? This further threw me off on the NEL when we didn't see that task. Well now I'm hoping for another 20 hour flight someplace so they can all catch up! Here's one time where I will be rooting for an airport equalizer!!
And if that clip for next week was right .... there's no way in bloody hell that Rachel will go thru with the hair shaving. Not a chance in hell. Which hopefully helps Mark and Bopper time-wise if Brenchel have to double back!! Would be PERFECT if Mark/Bopper try for it and go thru cause Mark be already done!
Does anyone remember how the daylight compared with when Army/Wife checked in and when Mark/Bopper checked in? Was it considerably darker outside? I think I remember broad daylight for both teams checking in? Maybe they are still only a few hours behind?
I think you're correct.
I can't believe I hated Kentucky at the beginning of this show. I've really grown to love this team and was thinking that I would quit watching if they were eliminated. Of course I wouldn't go through with it, but I can threaten.
My dislike for BPA is beginning to surpass my dislike for Brenchel, and that's really saying something. That JJ is one unpleasant dude.
^ ITA, Bev, re: BPA (actually, yes, you're right -- it's almost all D-bag JJ) is on my last nerve. This team is fast becoming one of my least favorites -- ALL-TIME.
However, I'm not quite ready to favor Red Rachel over BPA, primarily because I think that $500,000 in reality show winnings is aplenty for a person of her off-the-charts obnoxiousness. But, the boys are inching closer and closer.
Since Angel and Roids -- let's be honest -- have no chance to win this, it's all about Bopper and Mark for me. Plllllllllease!??
For the first 20 minutes of last night's eppy, Team Army were as they always are when things are going swimmingly -- pleasant and fun. And racing well ... I always respect that. Then, as they usually do upon the first sign of trouble, they went off course during the taxi challenge. Still, it wasn't too and it was brief; props to them for not resorting to their usual "The Lockhorns go passive aggressive" BS.
Given the choice of Team Army and the other two most likely TAR20 winners , and am quite ready to and willing to live with Blondie and Dave crossing the giant bath mat first.
I feel the same about "team Kentucky" as almost everyone else.
I think the world of them.
This is an opportunity that they would have never had without TAR.
Mark and Bopper are making the most of it.
Phil must love them!
Love Bopper & Mark!
LOVED the Bollywood dance, it reminded me of Meryl & Charlie's OD from a few seasons ago.
Wasn't expecting a NEL, but figured there was still one to come yet this season. I assumed it would have been when there were 4 teams left.
Always love it when the show goes to India, it looks like they're staying there next week, so I'm happy with that. at the thought of Rachel shaving her head -- no way will that happen!
I was surprised by the NEL too but happy that Mark & Bopper will be around to make me smile again. I wish they can make final 3. I don't care who wins so long as it isn't Brenchel.
I've had that catchy little song stuck in my head since last night.
zomg, I thought from a bunch of twitter comments I'd seen last night that Bopper and Mark were history so it was quite the surprise when I watched just now and saw that it was NEL!
They did the driving task--there was a really quick clip of it.
Rachel and Dave don't bug me at all; he's really competitive and controlling (which is typical of pilots IM not inconsiderable E with them), which makes him kind of abrasive, but she doesn't take him too seriously or personally when he starts. They bicker, but they get over it immediately because neither of them thinks it means anything. Can you imagine Dave with the other Rachel? Oh, the tears and the drama and the holding of grudges.
ArmyRachel really needs to ditch all that black eye makeup.
I hope someone in Kentucky steps up to help Bopper and Mark. Bopper was laid off, I think, and really needs a job, and apparently Mark isn't doing too well, either. But how could anyone resist those two? That is a great friendship there.
Hopefully they will garner lots of job offers.
And they go to show you that CBS doesn't need to resort to mactors and reality TV stars to run the race. Ordinary folks from ordinary places like Kentucky produce teams that are so much more interesting than out of work mactors.
I would love to see Mark and Bopper host a travel show. That would be hilarious.
Manchester KY, their hometown, has a population of less than 1800.
Even though it is the county seat. it looks like job opportunities are limited.
So true. Each season my favorite team aren't the sort that you're going to find on other CBS reality shows.
And median income for a family is only $25K . No wonder Bopper is struggling to pay for his daughter's medicine. If he doesn't have insurance, asthma meds have to run him to several hundred dollars a month.
That's why southwestern Ohio is full of briers (which is what we call Kentucky transplants and their descendants; I am one of them, so I'm allowed to say it ). There aren't a lot of jobs in rural Kentucky.
My mother was born in Canada, KY; grew up in Pikeville, and graduated from UK - before leaving - and meeting my father in NYC.
I understand why people go.
Growing herb, mixing meth or selling oxy; especially, since many of the mines have shifted to mountain top removal methods instead of deep mining. I, too, hope something good comes from this for them and their families. They are excellent ambassadors for the rural South.
I'd watch a season of that, or a season of The Osbournes style show with B&M. Package something like that, put it on Tru TV or what-not basic cable network ... between one of the dozen shows about junkyards or tatoo parlors ... and give these boys a big check that will change their families' live!
For full effect, we should explain to the city folk that "brier" refers to thicket-forming thorny plants that pop up where they're not wanted, spreading prodigiously while your attention is elsewhere.
Muncie, Indiana, my birthtown/city where my of my extended family still live, was nicknamed Hillbilly North in the old days ... due to the huge influx of citizenry from Tennessee and Kentucky. Definitely a brier metropolis!
Separate names with a comma.

Fairways are the connections between teeing grounds and putting greens. The grass in the fairway is mowed very short (but not as short as on the putting green), and fairways are often set off and easy to see because of the contrast between the height of grass in the fairway and the taller grass - called the rough - on either side of the fairway.
The fairway doesn't promise a perfect situation for your golf ball, but keeping your ball in the fairway as you play toward the green does vastly improve your odds of finding the best playing conditions.
Fairways are typically maintained by groundskeepers, mowed, manicured, in many (but not all) cases watered; as opposed to those areas of the course on either side of the fairway, the rough, which might be unmaintained or minimally maintained.
As you stand on the teeing ground of a par-4 or par-5, your goal is to hit your ball onto the fairway, advancing the ball toward the green, avoiding the danger of the rough, and giving yourself the best chance of success on your next stroke. (Note that some par-3 holes do have maintained fairways, but many do not because, as previously noted, the goal on a par-3 hole is hit the green with your first stroke.)

Rising senior swimmer Suzanne Bessire at Winter Park didn't plan on committing to a college this early. When a junior in high school walks onto the campus of Notre Dame, however, things change.
"It's so beautiful. It's a really cool campus," Bessire said of Notre Dame, she committed earlier this week to swim for the fighting Irish in 2011. "I wasn't expecting to commit early at all. I was expecting a long and hard process but it was really easy once I went there. I've been on cloud nine for the past week."
Bessire, the state runner-up in the 100-meter freestyle, has qualified for the senior nationals in the 100-free, 200-free, and 100-backstroke. She will also be competing in a national meet in California as a member of the club team Highlander Aquatics in August.
She's hoping she'll be able to compete well enough to earn a spot on the Fighting Irish varsity, and she even has more lofty goals.
"I'd like to compete at the NCAAs at some point in my four years of college and I'd really love to qualify for Olympic trials," she said. "I'm about three seconds off the qualifying time in the 200-free long course
I have a while before they make that cut, so I think it's very doable."
For now she'll just sit and daydream about the day when she will first break the surface at the Notre Dame's Rolfs Aquatics Center.
"I just feel awesome. I'm really excited," Bessire said. "I had gone to a few places and I felt like it was just the perfect place."

As an avid Laker Fan, I must admit that I am spoiled. Just to paint a picture, we are a proud fan base. We are what we like to call "Laker Nation". We are accustomed to 50+ wins a season. We are accustomed to winning championships. All one would have to do is look at the last decade to see that we mean business. We won 5 titles in the previous decade. When you look at that stretch, it's incredible. So, what the HELL happened?
We have Mike D'Antoni. Speaking for myself personally, I don't care much for the guy. The high pace offense means nothing in the NBA if you do not play with some good ole fashion defense, which they are currently ranked close to dead last in. What the Lakers need is a foundation of defense to build their offense off of. Last time I checked, fast break points are typically accumulated off of good defense…but I could be wrong D'Antoni.
Point guard. Ummmm has anyone seen one lately? I sure haven't, because I don't think we have one. Not saying that Kobe isn't a good facilitator, because his 13 assist the other night proved that he can pass. But that's not where we want Kobe. We want him taking 15 shots a night, scoring 25+ and playing some of that veteran defense. Can we find a back court from trade options? It's very possible. Which brings me to my next point.
I agree completely with D'Antoni when he called out Gasol. I have said for years that we got the "softer" brother out of the family. What I wouldn't give to see Marc in the purple and gold. That's the type of big man you need. Don't get me wrong, when Pau Gasol is on, he is ON. He has one of the softest shots that I have ever seen in a big man. He can clean up the glass when he feels like it, and he is actually a good passer if you can believe it. But that means nothing when you don't step out onto the court with your killer instinct intact. You have to be hungry out there Pau. But let's face it, D'Antoni's offense does not have room for a big man. He just doesn't believe in it. He loves the back court. He lives on his "7 seconds or less" offense. Keep in mind that if you utilize a big man, you typically set up pick and rolls, or play inside out, which takes much longer than 7 second. So there is no place for Pau in this system. Does that make me sad? Absolutely. Don't forget it was Pau coming to LA that sparked the 2 back to back titles a few years ago. Wow…it seems so long ago.
How far have we fell Laker Nation. We went from winning Rings to fighting for a .500 record. We went from 50 win seasons to 8th seed playoff IF we are lucky. I suggest this one simple idea to the "great" Jim Buss. Step back buddy. Let Mitch Kupchak do what he does best. He's INCREDIBLY gifted in trading. Let him fish out poor Gasol and see if we can't get some good pieces. Let's salvage a playoff berth, get ousted, and move into the off season. Dump off Steve Nash. He's about as used up as Shaq was when he went to Boston. Clear out a little salary cap and get ready for the 2015 off season. Yeah that's right folks, don't watch 2014-2015 season. It won't be pretty. Will we return to championship form? Yes. We talkin bout Tinseltown baby. We own LA. Never mind those rejects we rent out the building when we are out of town. We attract greatness. We don't have 16 Banners for nothing. Just don't expect much for the next few years. We aren't set up for success. But we will be. Just be patient and remember, we are Laker Nation.

Frankie Edgar, the #5 ranked lightweight in the world according to the USAT/SBN Consensus MMA Rankings risked his contender status against the dangerous but utterly unheralded Matt Veach at tonights Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale. But he passed the test with only a little trouble, winning by submission in the second round.
Veach came out looking for a takedown, but Edgar stuffed the shots of the bigger man, until about one minute in when Veach slammed Edgar hard to the mat. A minute later Veach did it again when Edgar fought his way to his feet. They traded shots for the remainder of the round with neither fighter taking a clear advantage.
In the second, they came out trading and Edgar seemed to be scoring the cleaner shots. He caught Veach with a hard shot to the chin with about three minutes left. Edgar followed Veach down and scored with ground and pound before working for the fight ending RNC.

WATERLOO (KWWL) -- They're catching drivers in Cedar Rapids. Now Waterloo is considering the use of traffic cameras at some of the city's major intersections.
Mayor Buck Clark and Chief of Police Dan Trelka are both in favor of installing cameras at dangerous intersections, like Highway 65 and Ridgeway Avenue. It's common for drivers to speed at these crossing, and even more so to run red lights.
Clark said traffic cameras could go a long way to change these habits in drivers. Violators could receive a citation and fine if they're caught on camera, but the mayor said making money is not the goal.
"This is revenue generated, I mean, we're certainly not going to deny that. But the revenue is kind of second-hand to making the streets safer. And there's a very common response to that -- if you don't run red lights and if you don't speed, you're not going to get a citation for this," Clark said.
The company responsible for the Cedar Rapids cameras installs the product for free. They then receive a percentage of the revenue generated. Clark said if the council does decide to adopt the policy, they will shop around for the best price.
Cedar Falls listened to a similar presentation. Chief Jeff Olson said they have not talked about the issue any further.
Tuesday night at 10:00, hear why one Waterloo council member opposes installation of traffic cameras.

Digital Check - Technology Leader in Remote Deposit Capture, Branch Capture, and Teller Capture
The Check 21 law passed in 2004 has changed the way that all of us do our banking these days. No longer do we have to stand in lines at the teller window or fill out envelopes at the ATM in order to make check deposits. Now it is as easy as loading your bank's remote deposit capture web application and sending the image of the check using your check scanner.
Things have changed at the bank branch as well. Teller check capture has saved bank tellers countless keystrokes and branch back counter check capture has made the end of the day work much more streamlined. Even in international markets, cheque truncation is a growing trend and Digital Check has been a key player through all of these changes and will be here for the ones yet to come.

north fork: part 1
I read about this Foodie Tour through Brooklyn Based and couldn't resist the urge to rent a car and go on an adventure. So last Sunday Aaron, our friend Angela and I hopped in a rental and drove an hour and half outside the city to see some farms.
All of us being cheese lovers, the first on our list was Catapano Dairy Farm, where they make award-winning goat cheese. We could hardly contain ourselves as we drove up, all eager to learn how the cheese was made. But a little disappointment set in soon after we walked up, apparently the owner wasn't interested in talking about her operation and walked away as we approached the table to taste the cheeses. But luckily we did have a nice woman to give us all samples of the different cheeses, including chevre, gouda and a blue, and two types of fudge. Yum! They were all quite tasty. We were able to walk around and see the baby goats playing on their jungle gym and also witness the adult goats fighting, including one that looked like a unicorn. So that was exciting. We also saw some lovely chickens, but other than that we left wanting more.
On a whim we stopped by Sang Lee Farms to kill some time before visiting another stop on our tour. Oh boy, it turned out to be an excellent decision. Sang Lee was established in the 1940′s and soon after started supplying New York City's Chinatown with quality Asian vegetables. Today they grow over 100 varietes of specialty vegetables, heirloom tomatoes, baby greens, mesclun, herbs, specialty Asian greens and flowers. We walked up to the farm stand and there in front of us were the most beautiful tomatoes I'd ever laid my eyes on. I mean, truly lovely little works of art in the most amazing colors and shapes.
Then I walked inside and there were lovely greens and other vegetables, along with a few coolers filled with things like fresh pestos and sauces made by owner Karen Lee. I picked up a container of Asian Pesto and as I was perusing the vegetables, Ms. Lee asked if I needed any help. Soon we were deep in conversation about ways to use the pesto and then about these lunch time talks she's started in her community. You can read more about them in the latest edible east end. To top things off, we got to pick tomatoes from the vine, perhaps popping a few in our mouths every now and then. We were feeling pretty good as we made our way to our next destination.
Tomorrow look forward to two other awesome farms, Shinn Estate Farmhouse and Pipes Cove Oysters.

In silence she finds her rhythm.
Then like a steady engine picks up speed.
The crowd roars and angels sing as she approaches her mark,
Then with an explosion of energy she hops high in the air, and floats down again
to take a smooth bounding leap.
And then with every spark of passion she has,
Throws hersef into the air and hovers in flight,
And lands in the dead silence to find she has triumphed.
This piece has been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

Left on a 5 day Princess cruise onboard Ruby from Ft Lauderdale. Reason I went was because of the promotion they are having for a free cruise since I am booked with them on a 7day cruise to Alaska in May of this year. We had sailed on princess once before and had loved it. We especially like their movies under the stars venue. Embarkation was pretty fast, we arrived at terminal at 2:30 pm so most of the crowds had gotten on ship already.
Pros: Nice ship, had 5 pools which I liked, and also the ports of call. Room steward was good, room very clean except for the carpet, showed wear but clean. Rooms nice in size and so was balcony.
Cons: very small showers, smallest Ive ever seen and we have been on alot of cruises with all the diff cruise lines. A large person def would not fit in there. Food was average in the Lido Deck but very good at their 2 restaurants. Never went to the pay restaurants. I noticed on this cruise that we had a hard time/language barrier with most of the crew. Most of them did not understand us. Also some of the crew not very friendly/serviceable like in other cruises we have taken. One major con: The itinarry was changed and we were not informed. When I asked the front desk about it, they said they could chg itinarry if need be but did not give us reason why. If I had booked a private tour on cozumel like I wanted to it would have royally messed me up since we were suppose to be there on tuesday and arrived there monday. I usually book all my tours through independent and not the cruise lines, thank heavens they were all sold out for the tour I wanted to take. We originally were suppose to have been in cayman on monday and cozumel on tuesday. We were in cozumel on monday and in cayman on tuesday; also the hours on the islands was cut short. I have been on alot of cruises and never has the itinarry change. Weather was great(not a factor) and seas were smooth.
If you visit Cayman you must do the stingray/beach tour which is awesome and the highlight. Book thru independent and save money. In cozumel we booked the Salsa and Salsa tour which was great. I was surprised to find out that this tour is only offered thru the cruise line (nobody had mention this).
I love Princess' under the Stars theatre. We got to watch the Playoffs all day sunday while in the pool and got to see many movies/concerts under the stars. They give you blankets, popcorn, cookies, love it. Didnt get to see most of the shows because we hung out mainly in the casino, but the comedian was good. All in all it was a great cruise and I would def recommend Princess and the Ruby.

Rooms with a View
The Airbnb Headquarters in San Francisco may be the ultimate reflection of both the brand, and the tech world's new way of working.
(page 3 of 3)
The Dr. Strangelove–inspired conference table.

There are nods to cool design-y spaces, the kind that might appear in a "greatest hits of the second bubble" collection—such as a Skee-Ball machine that anchors a game-filled section of the same floor that houses the cafeteria, winkingly named Ate Ate Ate (a pun after the building's 888 name)—but just when it seems that the office might start veering into the cute or too-referential, a story comes up. The Skee-Ball game, for instance, is based on one of the site's earliest listings in which the host offered his Skee-Ball machine as a potential sleeping space. And once again, authenticity—even when it's ironically inspired—prevails.
The fact that the two founders came from RISD is essential to the DNA of the company. It's one thing for the leaders of a tech company that's based in San Francisco to say that they care about design—but the ways in which design principles and, more importantly, methodologies are deeply embedded into every physical and conceptual aspect of the company come through. "We spend the majority of our lives at work," Gebbia says, acknowledging the realities of working at the company, a reminder that part of the reason the office is so welcoming is that Airbnb employees have to spend a tremendous amount of time at, if not their desks, then a desk. "Why wouldn't it be as comfortable or as inspiring as your own home?" he asks, at one point referencing the Eames studio as a kind of spiritual inspiration.

Courtesy Carlos Chavarria
An old table, reclaimed from the RISD studios, anchors a seemingly random collective space—there are multiple ad hoc meetings taking place on this Wednesday morning—and a crit room is filled with the kind of Taschen books that are every architecture and design nerd's dream, as well as scraps of paper visually expressing various Airbnb projects and principles pinned to the walls. Across the massive open-plan room, meanwhile, is another temporary space: two walls that angle toward each other to meet in the middle, each detailed with storyboard-style images that the founders are calling Snow White (after a project, whose details are being kept under wraps) that show, in images, just how on the one hand (wall) the guest experience and on the other hand (wall) the host experience can, in an ideal universe, go.
Drawings by the graphic designer Timothy Goodman line the walls of the Ate Ate Ate cafeteria. The company plans to exhibit work from a rotating cast of artists.
Courtesy Carlos Chavarria
The office is an offline flagship for a company that exists entirely online, and that's where the magic is. "We view this as our listing, as if this was our Airbnb," Cushner says. She goes on to list the variety of spaces contained within this floor and a half: there's open work space (the collection of long tables filled with Mac screens that are so necessary for any 2013 tech company), collaborative space (those conference rooms), quiet focused space (designed to look like a library that features a No Talking sign), social space (the Ate Ate Ate cafeteria, which hosts weekly happy hours), exhibition space (the gallery that surrounds the war room), and brasstacks business space (the round penultimate Dr. Strangelove room). Speaking of the entire project, Gebbia describes it as a metaphor. "We're designing not just for a digital product, but for the transition from the digital product to the offline world," he says. "How can we take something that we see on a screen every day and make that physical?" Wallpaper by wallpaper, air mattress by air mattress, conference room by conference room, they have.

hello all,
I just wanted to let you all know (if anyone is still interested in watching the Cards), that there are discount tickets to the entire diamondbacks series next week (9/22-9/25). All the seats are $5, although I think the best seats you can get for this price are the outfield field boxes (which are usually $35). I bought tickets to the game Tuesday in section 170, so I'm pretty happy with those.
To get the seats, go to stlcardinals.com/McDonalds promo code: BIGMAC. The promo code is good for all four games.
I just wanted to let you all know.
Have a good one,
NOTE: Fixed the typo. Sorry for any annoying pop ups that happened when I misspelled the website the first time...
I will now go wallow in my own stupidity.
But hey, at least I got $5 field boxes to look forward to.

Sock Knitting Progress
Originally uploaded by i_bugsy.
Well, here it is. Progress on my first hand knitted sock.
The blue yarn is the sock cuff. The rainbow yarn will be the majority of the sock. The blue yarn will be the heel and the toe.
This all started because my quilting buddy, Tamra, gave me the rainbow yarn because it was advertised as Gay Pride yarn!
Of course, I've never knitted socks and just started knitting. So with a few books and two knitting classes, I'm starting to knit socks.
These socks are for me! I'm thinking that if I really like this sock knitting, that I'll do it - socks only. Ok, maybe a few hats.

waaaaaaay back in the daaaaaaay when i was learning photography...i was a darkroom junkie. i shot film all day, processed and printed all night. from the moment i started photography, i was hooked. a couple years into doing photography, i bought what to this day was still my most favoritest camera ever, a hasselblad 501CM with a 80mm lens. we had a long loving relationship and created some of my favorite images until one day we decided to make a business out of photography, go digital, and sell all of our film gear to help fund the switch. i never felt right about selling my old hassie and to this day i've regretted getting rid of it :( fast forward eight years and my old flame has finally bested my wallet...last week i purchased a hasselblad 500CM and 60mm lens. it was the best feeling "buy it now" button i've ever clicked :) it arrived and within a day i had already blown through two rolls of 220 (24 exposures) kodak portra 160VC...dropping it off at the lab and waiting for it to be ready was a huge test of my non-existent patience...but after checking out all of the scans, the wait was WELL WORTH IT! i am seriously in love with this camera, with film, with slowing down how i shoot, the results, the square format, all of it...i am excited and can't wait to shoot more more more more more :) here's a few pics from a morning around the kaiser house and a few grabs from jasper's 2nd birthday party...

We offer a 100% money back guarantee to anyone who does not like "WOOD-GLIDE" for any reason. "WOOD-GLIDE" can be used on all moving parts that would normally require a lubricant, thus eliminating the need for several different products in the work area.
This all purpose lubricant can save a tremendous amount of money by replacing most other lubricants that contain chemicals such as teflon or silicone, which are extremely harmful to the finishing of wood. "WOOD-GLIDE" can be used on all wood, metal, and plastic applications without any adverse side effects whatsoever. Your customers will find, through experimentation, that our product will work almost everywhere they are currently using a lubricant. Our customers have discovered many uses by trying it in new areas of their operation.
Reduced inventory due to using a single source lubricant can justify the additional cost by itself. Add to that the reduction in ruined material due to employee misuse of other products simply because those products are no longer there, and the cost of "WOOD-GLIDE" begins to come down, down, down. It also reduces friction on machinery which results in less wear and tear on the machines, as well as increasing overall productivity. One of the largest areas of use has been as a glue releasing agent for "RF" (Radio Frequency) glue machines. However, the uses are only limited by your imagination.
As a glue releasing agent, our product will prevent adhesion of excess glue, while not interfering with the glue to glue bonding. This is true of any liquid glue or spray adhesive. On a "RF" application our product will prevent the excess, many times activated glue, from sticking to the positive or negative grids. When applied to clean glue clamps or glue wheels (systems) "WOOD-GLIDE" will prevent excess glue from sticking to the clamp fingers or screw threads.
"WOOD-GLIDE" will lubricate any bearing or bushing many times more effectively than silicone or teflon, and for a longer period of time, without any ill side effects to wood, metal or plastic. Although not a rust remover, "WOOD-GLIDE" is a rust inhibitor if applied to a clean surface. Our product will not evaporate like silicone or teflon sprays. Once applied "WOOD-GLIDE" has the staying power of several months.
We have a 100% unconditional money back guarantee. We are also very proud to say that our pricing has increased only three times in almost three decades.
