On Friday, police officers from around the state were in our area, to honor officers who have died in the line of duty.
The 12th Annual Cops Cycling for Survivors ride made its way through St. Joseph County Friday morning.
They started at Bethel College and rode 30 miles to the New Carlisle Cemetery.
There, they stopped to remember LaPorte County Sheriff Deputy Neil Thompson, who was killed nearly 25 years ago.
This year's ride is especially meaningful to the officers, since three have died in action in just the past two weeks.
Twenty riders were in New Carlisle on Friday, but by the end of their trip, there will be 66.
The annual ride ends July 26 at Crown Hill Cemetery in Indianapolis.

Do you ever go to a restaurant and after a few bites of your meal, wonder whether you should have gotten the steak instead of the fish? This, according to Barry Schwartz' TEDtalk, is called The Paradox of Choice. The definition of paradox is "an opinion that conflicts with common belief". The common belief is that more choices will make us happier. It turns out that is untrue. The more choices we have, the more likely we are to experience regret, be paralyzed by the act of choosing, and to be unhappy with our choice. Check it Schwartz' talk for the nitty gritty information (it's about nineteen minutes long), but here are the high points:
Summary of talk
How can we apply this information to our teams?
This all makes sense to me, given the ridiculous amount of time it takes me to order food at a restaurant…I could stand a few less options. This could be revolutionary information if we actually got it out there. Then our players would know how to put themselves in position to be happy with their choices…on teams, with their friends, with their parents, in their relationships. Happiness is within our control.

Writing a post on Chowhound...and then deleting it before posting.
- John E. May 23, 2014 07:31 PM
I have been posting on Chowhound for a little over four years, which makes me a 'newbie' to some CH's I know.
Every once in a while, I find myself responding to a thread, or a particular post on a thread, and then I don't actually post it.
Does anyone else find themselves doing this?
The posts that I write and then not post, are not usually posts that I reconsider because I have second thoughts about them being flagged. They are usually posts that I have second thoughts about because I think I might be revealing information that is too personal (and I've revealed a lot of personal information in an anonymous way on CH.) i have also deleted posts before posting because I realize what I have written is too far off-topic, and I go off-topic too much as it is. Finally, I delete posts before posting becaue sometimes after writing them I think to myself, does anybody really care about what I have just written? My posts can be silly and or irreverent at times I know.
As a matter of fact, I almost deleted this post just now.....
re: c oliver
Not examples, necessarily.
I ust wrote a reply to a dredged up, 7 year old thread, about eating raw chicken and pork. After writing my smart-assed response I realized that it would not add much to the thread and then I had to explain why I was responding to a recent post on the thread (to someone I know) instead of the OP (whom I did not recognize).
By the time I was done writing I realized how rediculous it was and just closed the window without posting.
I think I do this at least once a week.
re: John E.
Because I've been "disciplined" more than once, I am learning to be more circumspect. But, more importantly, I DO write things that before I hit "reply," I realize that I'm adding nothing to the convo. Or that I'm baiting someone. Which will garner me another 'slap.'
But really, I'm oh so slowly learning to not post (sometime?) unless I can add something. And I really, really try to be less critical. Mea culpa everybody.
re: John E.
re: John E.
I've done all of that - and more!
I write probably around three times as many posts than I deem worthy to hit "Reply."
My reasoning is much like yours (on this topic anyway), except I will add this: When replying to a topic, I usually look at what I've written and decide I don't really care about the subject. Why I can't decide that *before* I write is a mystery.
re: MplsM ary
"Why I can't decide that *before* I write is a mystery."
Because unlike IRL, where we just blurt out our words and you can't drag them back in and leave them unsaid, the time it takes to actually type them out from a keyboard allows the brain to adjust and say to yourself "REALLY? Do you REALLY want to say that?"
Just my 25 cents. (Inflation) :-)
ETA: And sometimes I respond "YES, I want to say that!" And I later get my hand slapped by the Mods and a Mom finger waved in front of my nose saying "don't do that again!" ;-)
John, I do it too. More often, I am condensing my post before I hit the reply button. I tend to tell a bit too much, and edit out what really doesn't pertain, or is, as you suggested, too personal.
Now and then, I'll just give up and hit the 'back' button before posting it at all. As others have said, rethinking the value of the entire post.
Too bad we can't do this when we are having a real actual conversation. Sometimes a 'delete' button on our mouths would serve!
All the time.
Usually, it's because I realize that I'm sharing a personal experience that other posters WIll Say Is Wrong -- wrong in an "impossible" or "incorrect" way ["you may have thought this happened but..." responses]..
And since I've lived it... well, I decide to forgo the drama of other folks telling me I'm wring!
re: Kris in Beijing
Freudian typo-- "wring" = wrong
For me, it isn't out of fear of being flagged, but mostly because I lost interest before getting to the end.
"Does anyone else find themselves doing this?"
Not as often as I should:-)
You are not alone and thank you for this thread as a reminder.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. Would that there were more like you. Yes, I've done it too, more and more the longer I hang around. Either I have nothing to add or the thread isn't even worth commenting on.
There should be a bubble pop up on some posters when they hit Reply which asks 'Are you sure you really want to post this crap.'
Yes, I do it all the time to the point that for the past year I mainly have been just reading threads making no comments at all, somewhere halfway through the year I started hitting the recommend button on people's posts as my opinions weren't new and already written out by someone else.
Nothing new to add, so no reason to post really.
I often edit my posts after re-reading them to better convey what I meant to say.
I also appreciate the quite generous 2 hour window one has for editing, especially when one has written something one might regret in retrospect.
That's never happened to me, of course '-P
99.9% of the time I delete a post it's when I'm telling someone to go fuck off. Just before I click reply I realize the post is going to get pulled, I'm going to get the smack on the hand email from the mod's, so I just don't bother.
The other .01% of the time I'm drunk and forget what I'm typing while I'm typing it.
re: jrvedivici
And it's that other .01% that some of us especially enjoy reading before it gets pulled. ;-)
re: jrvedivici
What LindaWhit said.
Are you Hannah Hart's evil twin?
re: pedalfaster
re: jrvedivici
If you had the time to google you might have time to watch some of her "Drunk Kitchen" videos. I find them entertaining.
re: jrvedivici
.01%? I'm glad to see you've cut down on your drinking! Remember, self-improvement is best approached with patience. I don't want to hear about you running out and joining a gym any time soon, ok?
I agree with you, however, it's always wise to delete anything you're typing when you have to close one eye to read the screen. Nothing worse than having some old thread pop up years later and realize you have no memory whatsoever of it. Except, maybe, looking at the date stamp and realizing you have no memory whatsoever of the entire week . . . .
There are a couple of other guidelines I'll employ when deciding to click "Reply". First, is always read what's been posted already. Second, read what I've written. Also, I try to be mindful that if I get up and eat something before finishing those first two steps, then I'm probably too stoned to contribute.
re: MGZ
Whoa Nelly!!! Remember this is just about how many drunk topic's I delete, not a reflection of how often I'm drunk posting!! I leave most of my drunk posts as-is, unless of course I'm telling someone to fuck off, as noted above. Don't you worry there are no gym memberships in my future!
I do sometimes. Mostly I think I get about half way through writing my post and get lazy and don't feel like writing anymore, so delete. I post mostly through my iPhone so it can be a bitch. Or I don't think what I've typed is conveying the point I'm trying to make well enough, and again, I get too lazy to fix that, so delete.
I do this more often than not lately. Sometimes because I realize that what I've typed is addressed elsewhere in the thread (maybe spread among several posts).
The other reason is that I try to avoid maybe 5-7 posters who seem to find any opinion, fact, or punctuation mark as a reason to argue. (Lol, I can almost guarantee that one or more will show up and protest that we're all just 'discussing', 'sharing opinions', etc.) I don't come here to argue and the tactics used are too passive-aggressive for me.
And I think I'll be wishing I had erased this post too. Such is life. :)
re: tofuflower
No, I don't believe they show as new notifications. Once the initial post is up and read by someone, it doesn't "re-open" for others to read again if it's been edited.
re: tofuflower
I find it annoying at times when someone edits after I've replied and changes the intent sometimes completely, rendering my and others comments meaningless. I wish, at the least, that like FB it would at least show "edited."
re: c oliver
That's a good point. I only edit to make it clearer or remove frivolous information so no one goes "TLDR" on me.
I suppose a way to avoid this is to only respond after the person's 2 hour window is up!
re: tofuflower
Good idea.
re: c oliver
What idea are you talking about? Just teasing - my editing window time has expired, so I can't sabotage you!
re: tofuflower
The waiting two hours to reply one :) An added benefit to that is it's likely someone else will have said what I was going to and then I don't have to.
re: tofuflower
I do the type-post-edit-Edit-EDIT all the time when I start a thread, but all of that is within the first few minutes of posting, so I sort-of consider it part of the initial process.
For me, it's mostly typos (fat fingers/ small screens) and spacing issues. I hate that if I use a ")" near the end of a line, it will be moved to its own line by itself -- a formatting thing you don't see until you've posted.
And some times Ch will put in paragraph breaks as a free line, whilst other times it doesn't and I go back and add a line like this:
to create a paragraph break.
re: Kris in Beijing
Just an FYI, if you add a space after the ) it will stay on its proper line.
re: Jacquilynne
I usually add a
I think it might be a good MO for some posters -- to read again what they wrote and think about what exactly they were saying/doing. Ya know, look at things from a little distance.
Betcha it would cut the nastiness on the boards in half.
re: linguafood
Surely you jest!
re: KaimukiMan
re: linguafood
re: Kris in Beijing
The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true!
OMG, am I the only one to recognize this? :D
yep. not super often, but yes. usually relating to topics that I myself go, do I really even care about this topic? and in responding to others' snarky comments (not even addressed to me), I really do try to restrain myself from scolding.
I just thought about this thread. There's a thread I've been reading, but won't comment on (the old "if you don't have anything nice to say" sentiment). I finally had to comment; but then I deleted it so as to not be sucked in to the fray.
re: c oliver
It was good to let a few uncensored comments fly on that "racist" thread the other night. I knew you and a few others flagged it, so I knew the thread was going to be pulled. It's good to just let your feelings fly from time to time.
re: jrvedivici
Another racist thread? Jeez. Glad I missed it.
re: linguafood
This was blatant.....pretty much blaming "blacks and Mexican's" for all that has gone wrong in their life.
re: jrvedivici
Oh yah. I did see that. It was too stupid for me to even bother.
re: linguafood
Exactly but it was nice to just let a direct F-bomb or go F-yourself off, knowing the thread was on borrowed time from it's inception.
re: jrvedivici
I was surprised it lasted as long as it did.
re: jrvedivici
Please bear in mind that even if you think a thread is "on borrowed time", it's never ok to engage in personal attacks on Chowhound. Making a small mess into a bigger mess is also a problem for us, so please refrain the next time you come across a thread you think will be deleted. Thanks.
re: John E.
Yeah, I totally missed the racist thread everybody else is discussing. The post of which I speak was on a board I had never visited before.
re: c oliver
Color me confused. I guess the offending thread was completely deleted. Never mind.
re: c oliver
Yes, the gardening thread, which was mercifully locked. The racist one, which I didn't see, was apparently deleted altogether.
re: thistle5
When I've exceed the time limit I can reply to myself. I actually like that better cause there are times I've replied to someone's post, then they edit it and mine can be badly misconstrued.
re: thistle5
I like the time limit, because if you wait until a bunch of people reply, then sometimes the replys make no sense.
re: TroyTempest
Those are the times when I wish it weren't allowed or at least it shows as edited. If the sense of the post has changed then it frequently doesn't make sense. I've replied to some where the poster is being a real jerk. Then later s/he realizes or sobers up and changes it.
re: c oliver
Right. Maybe they could not allow edits to the original post if there were replies. But, that would require a little smarter software.
Not 'til today. That I remember, anyhow. But today, I bought two big fresh sardines at my local Whole Foods. When I got them home, I realized that a) they weren't scaled, let alone gutted and b) one of them had a very mushy texture (probably a freezing/thawing issue), so mushy that I got grossed out and pitched it. So there I am, all steamed that I have to scale and gut and pitch, composing my irate post to the Manhattan board about the nerve! the nerve! of Whole Foods. Then I took a look at my receipt. The two fish cost me $3. And...suddenly it all seemed like not that big a deal.
PS The fish I ended up keeping and broiling was pretty good. A little dry (I over-broiled it), but pretty good.

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
On December 7, 2013 and throughout the following weekend more than 50 same-sex couples are expected to marry in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in advance of a ruling from Australia's High Court as to whether the ACT marriage equality bill is constitutional. The High Court is expected to issue its ruling on December 12, so the window in which same-sex nuptials are permitted may be brief.
In September 2013, the ACT government announced that it would sponsor a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. The announcement came after several unsuccessful attempts to pass a federal marriage equality bill. At the time Chief Minister Katy Gallagher said that there was overwhelming community support for the measure. "We would prefer to see the federal parliament legislate for a nationally consistent scheme, but in the absence of this we will act for the people of the ACT."
ACT's Legislative Assembly debated the Marriage Equality Bill 2013 on October 22, when it was passed by a vote of 9 to 8. Under the legislation, same-sex marriages will legally be allowed to be performed in the ACT from December 7, 2013.
However, after its passage in October, federal Attorney General George Brandis filed an emergency challenge to the bill before the High Court of Australia.
On December 3 and 4, the full bench of the High Court heard arguments as to the constitutionality of the bill. As reported by the Australian Broadcast Company, the principal question before the Court is whether the ACT legislation is consistent with the federal Marriage Act, which provides only for marriage between a man and a woman.
Justin Gleeson, the Commonwealth Solicitor-General, told the High Court that marriage is the union between a man and a woman and that the Federal Parliament has the right to define marriage in Australia.
Attorneys for the ACT argued that same-sex marriages can coexist with opposite-sex marriages and that the ACT has the right to legislate same-sex marriages. They pointed out that the federal marriage law does not ban same-sex marriages.
Australian Marriage Equality's lawyer Anna Brown said that "The ACT sought to argue that the ACT marriage laws should be held to be valid because it governed only same-sex relationships and that wasn't in conflict with the Federal Marriage Act."
After the hearings on December 3 and 4, the court said that it will hand down its decision on December 12, and in the meantime will allow same-sex marriages to take place in Canberra.
ACT Attorney-General Simon Corbell said that marriages can take place this weekend because the Commonwealth did not seek an injunction.
"I'm sure couples will welcome the fact that the law will come into operation and that they can marry under the law, albeit, with the prospect that there is some risk to those ceremonies because of the uncertainty surrounding the High Court case until we receive the court's judgement," he said.
If the Court rules that ACT's legislation is invalid, the marriages performed under it may also be ruled invalid.
If the Court rules that ACT's legislation is constitutional, Canberra is likely to become the marriage destination for same-sex couples all across the country since its law has no residency requirement. Moreover, a ruling in favor of the ACT legislation from the High Court is likely to encourage other states to enact same-sex marriage legislation.
The following clip reports on the ACT marriage-equality question before the High Court.
The video below, from October 22, reports on the passage of the ACT legislation.

text: Mayweather Dominant Again: 45-0 and $350 Million Print article Send a Tip by John Pudner 15 Sep 2013 post a comment Canelo Alvarez can at least tell his children he joined Oscar De La Hoya as the only fighters to ever cause a single judge to think Floyd Mayweather did not beat him - and in both cases the one judge seemed to be the only one watching the fight who even thought it was close. It may be that no athlete deserves to earn $350 million, but if anyone does it is Mayweather for his dominant 45-0 record. The AP and other unofficial judges scored the fight as a dominant Mayweather win - 119-109 in AP's case. Two official scorers had it closer but left no doubt at 117-111 and 116-112, but the shocker was a 114-114 card. It sounds like Alvarez agred with the rest of the world that Mayweather dominated for the 45th straight time in the ring. He told the AP: "No doubt he's a great fighter, a very intelligent fighter. There was no solution for him."

Heidi's Grasmere Lodge was originally built in the 1850's as one of Grasmere's original tea rooms; in fact a coffee house and reading room. At that time, the Manchester Corporation was building a water supply from Thirlmere to Manchester and the brick built pipe (almost 10ft high and still in use) was hidden below the fell to the East of Grasmere Vale. Walk any of the Ghylls and you will see viaducts that hide the Victorian pipeline.
The original owner of Heidi's Grasmere Lodge had an idea to coax the Irish workmen away from the Red Lion public house next door, who in those days made and sold its own wicked brew. Following this, the building changed to a hotel still without the sins of drink and was known for many years as The Temperance House.
Times have changed and Heidi's Grasmere Lodge is now fully licensed so you can enjoy the fantastic local ales or a glass of wine as you relax and unwind.

Woe is they:So if the best-educated minds in the country get together and agree on one particular point of view, what would you think? Would you say, "These guys are all pretty smart and well-trained, so that's probably a pretty good point of view." Or would you think that these smart people are victims of group think and indoctrination into a cabal?
Remember that advertising line "four out of five doctors recommend"? The vast majority of doctors—even doctors of philosophy—can't be wrong, can they?
Conservatives among our readers should take a deep breath now and stop shouting, "Of course they can!" Ol' Buzz is just screwin' with you.
Military historian Mark Moyar, who taught at Texas A&M's George Bush (the elder) School of Government and Public Service, formed in 1997 as part of the George H.W. Bush Library, certainly isn't buying what most academics are selling. He's conservative, and he thinks he knows why the SMU profs insist that the university maintains control over faculty appointments at the proposed think tank that will accompany the George W. Bush (the younger) Presidential Library: The faculty members are liberal, and they want to keep the conservatives out.
Moyar is a graduate of Harvard with a doctorate from Cambridge University who has written two books on the Vietnam War; he was denied tenure at Texas A&M, that bastion of liberalism, because of his conservative views, he says. Moyar contends that his experience at the first Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M shows that faculty are "most likely to subvert academic freedom while claiming to be its guardians."
Moyar, who now teaches at the U.S. Marine Corps University at Quantico, writes in an e-mail that his experiences at A&M are reason enough for Dubya to fear SMU faculty would pollute his think tank. Within a short time of the A&M school's founding, university faculty took control and filled the school with "liberals whose aversion to the Bush name was overcome only by lucrative salaries."
The dean in charge of hiring denied there was any bias, but Moyar says he obtained documents that showed two Texas A&M professors objected to him in writing because they believed he was driven by an ideological agenda.
"This concern about a person's ideological leanings and political participation, it should be noted, is usually applied only to conservatives," Moyar writes.

13 tech trends that would have terrified us ten years ago
Summary: Ten years ago we could have foreseen choppy waters in the not so distant future. But little could we envisage some of the horrors that we face today. Here are 13 of the scariest, most terrifying tech trends of the 21st century, all in the name of the Halloween spirit.

The multi-million dollar Obamacare site that didn't work
You would think that after several years and millions of dollars of investment, one single website might be able to cope with a good hearty slice of the population all visiting at once. Alas, no. Healthcare.gov crumbled on its first day, and almost everyone visiting was impacted by the government's worst IT snafu seen during Obama's second run in the Oval Office.
It's not just about keeping a website afloat. If Reddit, Imgur, Google, and the BBC News can stay up and running, so can Healthcare.gov, surely? That wasn't the problem. It was the backend infrastructure that failed. Databases weren't syncing, pages weren't loading, and forms were broken. Enter your data once, twice, three times, and for many it would slip behind the technology couch never to be seen again.
The American people were subject to the Healthcare.gov "beta test." Things should be ticking over nicely by 2014 when the Affordable Care Act is meant to really kick in. (At least, let's hope so.)

So many Android versions, so much fragmentation hell
Android has become the most popular smartphone platform, thanks to its reach and spread across various different devices and manufacturers. But Google, which develops Android, is regularly mocked by Apple for having a fragmentation issue. So many devices in the world, and yet more than half are running older versions.
Developers, first and foremost, are suffering the most, as they try to tailor their apps to as many people as they can. Many are still running Android versions more than three years old because the cellular carriers and phone makers are not supporting the latest versions of Android. Why? It's probably because they want their customers to ditch their old phones and spend, spend, spend even more on the latest and greatest. A conspiracy? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it's not stopping Google. The search giant is still trying desperately to fix it.

Hacks and data breaches are all too commonplace
A decade ago, hackers were mostly unseen. They were occasionally glamorized in the movies, but they were often few and far between in terms of numbers. They were not as popular as they were today, where almost anyone can be with the tools available on the darkest corners of the Web.
Hackers have exploded in numbers. Attacks are taking place all the time. Almost indiscriminate in nature, your cloud-stored data is at risk every minute of the day. With lax security and poor IT policies, millions of people's data last year alone was swiped by the unauthorized. Data breaches are becoming increasingly commonplace. For a time last year, it seemed as though there was a hack every week.
And once hackers began to target the financial industry and credit card institutions, what was once the safest thing (bar the economy tipping over and sinking every few years) was reduced to a humble, bumbling mess.

King's Hawaiian Sweet Bread, anything special?
- c
- christinepierce Apr 11, 2012 07:33 PM
I was at Fresh Market today and noticed that this "Kings Hawaiian Sweet Bread" is popping up everywhere... i saw it at grand central and at eli's in the city.... has anyone tried this "bread?" Is it brioche-like? or like challah? I think we've had french toast made with this bread before, but not sure. Is there something special about this bread?
re: Sra. Swanky
Thanks SRA, I think I will pick some up next time. I bet it will go perfect with the tuna cranberry walnut apple salad I pick up from Ruffled Feathers
re: JungMann
That does sound good, JungMann. You've answered a question of mine without even being asked - I've seen the loaves and wondered if they would work. I was fearful that the crumb was too soft, that it would break under the weight of the dip. I've always used a round loaf of sourdough, but I'll certainly try this now. : )
re: mamachef
The bread will break if you actually try to dip. It's best to use a spoon to spread the creamy mixture onto the chunk of bread you reserve.
My wife and I love it, especially the little dinner rolls. We use them as buns when I make buffalo "sliders" for a perfect blend of sweet and savory and a little gamey.
One of the local grocery stores includes the King's rolls in their whole-chicken-and-a-side deal. Very good for a change but pretty sweet tasting.
We used to get the sandwich size rolls all the time, but I haven't seen them for years. We do occasionally pick up the dinner rolls, but sometimes they don't last till dinner. :)
They do make great slider buns.
It's common on the West Coast, and I buy it frequently, but IMHO it's too soft for French toast or hollowing out for a dip - unless you're getting a different variety. It's a Hawaiian interpretation of a Portuguese sweet bread.
I grew up with it in California and loved it, but today, I much prefer east coast challah. King's Hawaiian bread has a lot of chemicals that you don't find in a good challah or Portuguese sweet bread. You should try it, but if you're used to really good bread of that type, you'll wonder what the fuss is about.
the sweetness is from pineapple. here is a clone recipe: http://www.cajuncookingrecipes.com/cl...
i love the rolls for bbq pulled pork, roast chicken salad, ham, roast beef, well….just about anything.

The tribute record is the most abused marketing concept in the record biz. Generally, a huge band has its ego stroked by several similar but less successful outfits trying to siphon some of its juice. Last year's Weezer tribute was particularly pointless: Why is it necessary to pay tribute to a band whose songs are currently on the radio? Does anyone really care who can play "Buddy Holly" slightly faster? Saving us from tribute mediocrity is this long-overdue love letter to Turbonegro -- the greatest band of pansexual death-punkers ever to emerge from Scandinavia. With only one U.S. release in the bag before its demise (1999's Apocalypse Dudes), Turbonegro's Molotov cocktail of glam-rock bawdiness and punk firepower was known on this side of the pond only to American record nerds who plunder the import bin searching for the next Radio Birdman but usually ending up with the next Sigue Sigue Sputnik. For once, the nerds' diligence paid off -- but now it's time to liberate the greatness of Turbonegro from the Poindexters.
Unlike most tribute records, Alpha Motherfuckers contains bands far more popular than Turbonegro (Queens of the Stone Age, Nashville Pussy) along with obscurities from all over the globe (Brazil's RDP, Norway's Amulet). The American bands all turn it up to 11, with Zeke's screaming version of "Midnight Nambla" leading the way. The joy of singing Turbonegro's outrageous homoerotic anthems seeps through tracks like the Real McKenzies' "Sailor Man." Even Orange County geezers ADZ get in the act with "Good Head." But it's the European bands that have the goods on their denim-wearin' homeboys. Norwegian Black Metal-heads Satyricon salute their fellow countrymen with a double-bass/synth rave-up, "I Got Erection." Even further from left field (and the album's best track) is the S&M duet "Are You Ready (for Some Darkness)?" turned in by Bela B. & Denim Girl. Sounding for all the world like Bauhaus-era Peter Murphy putting the moves on Shirley Manson in an East End fetish club, this exceedingly catchy goth-rocker would inspire millions of arty death chicks to rip down their Marilyn Manson posters if it ever found its way onto radio.

Charles James "Chick" Hafey (February 12, 1903, Berkeley, California – July 2, 1973, Calistoga, California) was an American player in Major League Baseball (MLB). Hafey was part of two World Series championship teams (in 1926 and 1931) as a St. Louis Cardinal, and was selected by the Veteran's Committee for the Hall of Fame in 1971. In 2014, the Cardinals inducted him into the team Hall of Fame.
Playing for the St. Louis Cardinals (1924-1931) and Cincinnati Reds (1932–1935, 1937), Hafey was a strong line-drive hitter who batted for a high average on a consistent basis. Hafey also had a power peak, averaging 27 home runs and 114 RBI from 1928 to 1930. In the field, he was known for having a "rifle arm."[1] In 1931, Hafey won one of the closest races for a batting title in history, hitting .349 to beat New York's Bill Terry by just .0002, and teammate Jim Bottomley by .0007. The title was only secured by a hit in Hafey's final at-bat of the season. Hafey was fifth in the voting for the 1931 MVP award.[2] When Hafey's Cardinals faced Al Simmons' Athletics in the 1931 World Series, it marked just the second time that two reigning batting champions had opposed one another in the Fall Classic.
Hafey was originally a Cardinals' pitching prospect, but after seeing him bat and run the bases, general manager Branch Rickey converted him to an outfielder. Hafey would be the first major success of Rickey's expansive farm system, breaking through in 1927 when he led the National League in slugging. Hafey, however, had suffered multiple beanings in 1926. He developed sinus trouble and his vision deteriorated, and Hafey began to wear eyeglasses while playing. Although Specs Toporcer was the first baseball player to wear glasses, Hafey was the most prominent; he is one of two Hall of Famers with eyeglasses, Reggie Jackson being the other. Because his vision became so variable, Hafey was obliged to rotate among three different pairs of glasses. In July 1929, Hafey tied a National League record with ten hits in ten consecutive at-bats. In August 1930, he hit for the cycle.
Although the soft-spoken Hafey was overshadowed by some of his raucous Cardinals teammates, he was frequently at odds with management. Hafey's 1931 and 1932 seasons both began late due to salary disputes. Cardinals general manager Rickey fined Hafey for being late and out of shape in 1931. In 1932, coming off his batting title, Hafey demanded that the previous year's fine be added to his 1932 salary. When Rickey refused, Hafey bolted from St. Louis' spring training camp. Rickey responded by trading Hafey to the last-place Cincinnati Reds.
Hafey was happy to join the Reds, who gave him the raise he had sought, but his career faltered. His vision was still erratic, and his persistent sinus condition cost him half of the 1932 season, though he hit .344. In 1933, he was chosen for the inaugural All Star Game, recording the first-ever All-Star hit. Although he maintained a solid batting average as a Red, his offensive production decreased. He missed most of 1935 on the voluntary retired list, and all of 1936. An abortive comeback in 1937 produced tepid results, and Hafey retired for good.
He finished his career batting .317, with 164 home runs and 833 RBI. Hafey played in four World Series, hitting .205 in 92 plate appearances.In 1981, Lawrence Ritter and Donald Honig included Hafey in their book The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time. They cited what they called "the Smoky Joe Wood Syndrome," where a player of truly exceptional talent might rank with the all-time greats on merit, despite a career sharply curtailed by injury.
In January, 2014, the Cardinals announced Hafey among 22 former players and personnel to be inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame Museum for the inaugural class of 2014.[3]

Plan. File. Fly.
Garmin Pilot is the most comprehensive suite of tools for the iPad designed specifically for general aviation and corporate pilots. Flight planning, charts, interactive maps, weather briefing resources and navigation capabilities; it's all included. The app's intuitive interface mirrors those on the newest Garmin touchscreen avionics so you can go seamlessly from preflight to inflight.
Garmin Pilot's powerful capabilities start with pre-flight planning, providing pilots with the most comprehensive aviation weather information to make better-informed flight decisions. Pilots can check NEXRAD radar, visible and infrared cloud imagery, METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, winds and temperature aloft, TFRs and lightning data. With Garmin Pilot, data can be displayed over Garmin's interactive maps that support track-up navigation, VFR sectional or an IFR low or high en-route chart to visualize the weather for your route. Add text-based weather widgets and use the exclusive NavTrack feature to view weather along the planned route. Simply tap any location on the map and the Radial Menu provides easy access to navigation information, including: airports, navaids, current METARs, direct-to, airspaces, creating a waypoint and allowing for graphical editing of a flight plan.
With Garmin Pilot, users can easily enter a flight plan and interactively edit it on the map. Pre-loaded forms make it quick to save and reuse data for frequently flown routes. And when the flight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot makes it simple to file, amend or close the flight plan via DTC DUAT or CSC DUATS. Electronic confirmations from DUAT(S) meet FAA legal briefing requirements. (Flight plan filing is only available in the U.S. at this time.)
Garmin Pilot provides full en-route navigation capability on its moving map, while showing ETE, ETA, crosstrack error, distance to waypoint and current position. Pilots can also navigate with Garmin's patented panel, a GPS-driven instrument pack with a graphical HSI directional display and indicators for groundspeed, altitude and vertical speed. After takeoff, pilots can continue to view real-time weather in the U.S. and traffic information by wirelessly connecting to Garmin's GDL 39 3D portable ADS-B Receiver (sold separately).

"He's really sweet."
"He's really sweet."
No there isn't an echo in this column. That would be an excerpt from two different conversations from my most recent Girls Night Out.
Two of my girlfriends met new persons-of-interest lately. And both described these new men using the same word: sweet.
And then I remembered that another friend, who got engaged last week also mentioned her fiance's eternal sweetness just the day before.
And that's when it hit me.
All single women are looking for their own unique Mr. Right. But sweet, which in Womanese translates to kind, thoughtful and polite, might be a constant force of attraction in the male-female universe.
A lot of women fall for funny. A lot of women are magnetized by smarts. And some women go for the fusion of funny, smart and hot.
But by my calculations, at least 99 percent of women go for sweet. Of course, I should disclose that my calculations are based on my girlfriends, who are pretty sweet themselves. So who knows what my margin of error is?
But nevertheless, I think I'm right about this.
Yes, there are women out there who don't appreciate sweet guys, and for that, I'm sorry. I have no idea why they are like that.
Maybe they've only dated guys who are jerks. Or they like the drama of being treated poorly. Or they are just cranky because their shoes hurt their feet. Who knows?
But the women who are really worth knowing truly value sweetness in a man.
Of course, there is a caveat: Don't be too sweet. We don't like our teeth to hurt because we can bulldoze you like a big pile of sugar.
So long story short, most women really appreciate kindness and thoughtfulness. In fact, we appreciate sweetness so much we're usually willing to accept it over another constant force of attraction in the male-female universe: six-pack abs.
Gina Bever is a local public relations professional and woman-about-town. She's known for providing her friends — male and female — with thousands of hours of free therapy and (asked for) relationship advice.
This amounts to nice fertilizer...no more. Women play that same little game with men and, once they suck them in, they turn around and gut them quicker than Grant took Richmond!
In my experience, a woman describing a man as "sweet" means she likes him and appreciates him, but doesn't find herself attracted to him in a manly-womanly way. I'm perfectly serious. A man can (and should always) cultivate gentlemanly, nice, kind, considerate, appreciative, etc. -- all as traits that a woman respects and looks for. But when she says "sweet," he can start looking elsewhere if he wants a commitment and a deep relationship (i.e., marriage). It's a bit like when a Southern woman says "bless your heart," it really means "I pity you." I don't think it's a conscious putdown, but it sure ain't a compliment...
This was a more interesting column than usual. Keep at it.

The authority for sports coverage in the Fredericksburg region.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Hokies still see a room with void
GREENSBORO, N.C.—Virginia Tech has drawn ridicule from opposing fans, and even some of its own followers, for having an empty case in its football offices reserved for a national championship trophy.
And even though it's no longer in it's original resting spot in the team's trophy room—it was moved earlier this year to an undisclosed location—what it represents to the team is still very much intact.
"I've seen people make fun of it and stuff, and I don't know why," Hokies senior wide receiver Willie Byrn said of the empty case. "It's just something to fuel a fire, something you want to work towards. I like it. It kind of brings a sense of pressure, like, 'Alright where is it? The trophy case is still empty.' And that's what we're working for."
After a couple of lean years in which Tech didn't live up to the expectations it set for itself over the previous two decades, the program is trying to reclaim its spot among the nation's elite.
Over a 13-year span from 1999 to 2011, the Hokies averaged 10 wins, won five conference championships and played for a national title. In the last two, they failed to contend for any titles while winning only 15 games total.
Byrn said there's a sense of urgency among the players to get the Hokies back to the level they were when they were in the hunt for not only ACC championships but national championships as well.
Many of the team's struggles the last two years can be attributed to the poor play of its offense and an uncharacteristic decline in special teams play, a shocking change from the "Beamer Ball" era in which blocked kicks and touchdown returns were the norm.
Byrn says the team is ready to change its fortunes this year.
"I'm really sick of hearing ACC titles is the ceiling," Byrn said at the ACC Kickoff at the Grandover Resort. "Everyone comes to Virginia Tech wanting to play in national championship games, and no one has lost sight of that.
"We're going through a new playbook and we've had some offensive struggles, but nobody has lost sight of us playing for national championships. Our defense is playing at that level. We've got to get our offense to that level, and we've got to get our special teams back to that level. And we'll start seeing results like that."
Tech senior defensive tackle Luther Maddy said he and his fellow seniors are motivated by the thought of turning things around.
"I think the sense of urgency is very strong for me," Maddy said. "I don't want to be that senior group that has the worst season in Virginia Tech history, so we're definitely pushing these guys."
"I think we're very, very capable [of winning this year]," Maddy added. "We have a very good defense, a good secondary. Our running game is back to where it needs to be. We're going to find the right quarterback. We're going to have a great team this year. Beamer Ball is coming back this year."
This year's team could return to the company of the elite with a few improvements over last year.
The Hokies weren't far off. They started the season 6–1 with a close loss to then-No. 1 Alabama and then dropped a 13–10 game to eventual ACC Coastal Division champion Duke at home.
That was the first of three ACC losses decided by seven or fewer points. The Hokies lost at Boston College, 34–27, and then fell at home to Maryland, 27–24.
"There were so many little things we could have done better that would have won those games," Maddy said.
The trophy case has been moved, which created a bit of a stir on Twitter in the spring. But Hokies coach Frank Beamer assured reporters Monday at the ACC Kickoff that trying to fill it with the ultimate prize is still a major motivator for the Hokies.
"I think we're going back in the right direction to get back at that level," Beamer said.
"We put a trophy case [out] for the national championship and we haven't taken that down, and we're not going to take it down," Beamer added. "You want that in front of your team."
Because such a big deal was made when the display case was moved out of sight, Beamer received some puzzled looks from reporters when he spoke those words.
He laughed and revised his statement.
"In my mind we're still working for a national championship," Beamer said. "[The trophy case is] somewhere in the building."

NAPLES, Fla.- Ever heard of K2, Spice, Magic Mint, or Vanilla Sky?
If you haven't, you're not alone. But teens across the country, and across the state, are getting their hands on these new drugs. Police in Southwest Florida are warning parents about what to look for.
One of the most popular new drugs is called Salvia. It's a hallucinogenic, also known as Magic Mint or Sally-D. It's been made even more popular by a recent YouTube video that shows teen icon Miley Cyrus taking hits, and erupting in laughter. It can have the same effects as LSD or PCP, and it can alter your child's brain long after they use the drug.
Two other drugs are gaining popularity, too. Bath salts, and K2, or synthetic marijuana. Both were recently banned in Florida, but police admit it's still readily available. Even scarier, they won't even show up on a drug test.
Experts say always talk to your kids. Also, let them know that you know about these drugs and the harmful side effects.

After directing Slumdog Millionaire and 127 Hours, Danny Boyle was ready for a little fun. And darned if he didn't find it in Trance, which seems to be an art-heist thriller until it's not.
The man who wrangled a cast of 15,000 (including the queen and Daniel Craig) for the Opening Ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London wanted to step outside the awards-season bubble and style of storytelling and play with our other hand, if you like, he said in a recent phone call.
Having said that, there is something that links all the films together, which is memory. We didn't really realize this until we'd finished the film, which sounds like an odd thing, but obviously Slumdog Millionaire' is built on the idea of the karmic good fortune that memory can bring, because that's how he succeeds on the show. ...
127 Hours,' the memories are his redemption. They're the only thing that save him, actually, Boyle said of hiker Aron Ralston (James Franco on-screen), who had to amputate part of an arm to free himself from a boulder.
This is obviously using memories and the havoc that can be wreaked when they are either interfered with or unleashed. And it is very fragile, pointing to what the hypnotherapist played by Rosario Dawson says in the $15 million film.
What she says in the film is true; I think we are basically a series of memories strung together. We know this, because of Alzheimer's, of course, that sad, terrible tragedy when someone just disappears and everyone says, They're there; it's exactly the same person, but they're not there anymore.' And the memory chain gets broken or destroyed.
In Trance, James McAvoy is a fine-art auctioneer who suffers a blow to the head during the theft of a $27 million Goya painting and cannot remember where he hid the canvas, much to the dismay of a gangster played by Vincent Cassel. That is how McAvoy ends up in Dawson's character's office.
There are a lot of actresses out there, really good ones, who deserve to play lead roles and they often don't get them because they're playing girlfriends, and other supporting roles.
Boyle met the native New Yorker a few years ago on a project that didn't happen, although he had planned to cast the woman who broke out in Kids.
She had an amazing combination of very dynamic, powerful leadership. She's very bright, self-taught ... obviously she's very beautiful, but if you look at her work, she always brings a bit of the character to it. She changes, so it's not always the same thing.
Boyle wanted to touch on the noir genre, but the story, actually in the end, has more damage and emotion in it than you would normally get in a chilly noir, classic noir, which are coldhearted basically, deliberately.
The filmmaker got a primer on what happens when priceless pieces of art are the targets of capers that never fail to fascinate the public, even as they might infuriate curators or collectors.
It is a myth that they end up in an evil tycoon's cellar. Oh yeah, that's just nonsense. They're used as collateral and they're moved around criminal gangs as collateral, instead of money and instead of gold. Nobody, unless you're an art expert, can tell a painting is worth money, but they know it is because it's stolen.
What often happens is that a deal may be struck, with the insurance company a party to it, to return the artwork for a small amount of money – $2 million, let's say, to get a $20 million painting back, he speculates.
Having been stolen gives it a cachet, which adds at least 15 percent to the price of the painting.
Like many of us, Boyle has wondered what it might be like to wake up every day and look at the sort of artwork that hangs in the world's toniest museums.
We have a fictional auction house called Delancy's, but it's based on Sotheby's in London, and they helped us to make the film, although we can't use their name. ... We went to an auction they had where they were selling some serious paintings, and there was a Chagall there ...
You know those romantic paintings he does where people are floating in the air? And to see it in front of you, and you can touch it. They let people touch them. Like the guy said, if you're going to spend $15 million on a painting, by gum you're going to touch it before you decide to bid $15 million on it.
Lest there be any confusion, Boyle said this happens at a strictly invitation-only event for potential bidders. It's not like an open house; you can't just stroll in there and start touching Chagalls, you gotta be invited. It's very important in the bidding process to let people be tactile.
