Rams exercise option on Quinn's contract
APR 28, 2014 6:34p ET
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams have exercised the fifth-year contract option on All-Pro defensive end Robert Quinn, keeping one of the NFL's top pass rushers in the fold through 2015.
Quinn set a franchise record with 19 sacks last season, second most in the NFL. He has 29 1/2 sacks the last two seasons, also the second-highest total in the league in that span.
Quinn was a first-round pick in 2011 out of North Carolina and was also a first-time Pro Bowl selection last year.
As part of the CBA, all first-round draft picks get four-year contracts with a fifth-year option for the team that must be picked up after the player's third season. The deadline to exercise the option is Saturday.

Did you write this article Sen. Schumer?
How can anyone take the Democrats seriously when they refuse to cut an additional 30 Billion from a 3.7 TRILLION budget and the Senate Majority leader is taking the floor to defend the government funding of a cowboy poetry festival?
US$30 billion in government expenditures work out to about $100 per American. If the dilemma is between the inconvenience of the federal government shutting for a day or two, or the savings of $100 per person in the US, I think many Americans may opt to save $100.
But let's not be flippant, lest the American public opts to shut down the federal govt for 100 days and save $10,000 per person in federal tax.
It is not that bad yet.
It was necessary for both people and corporations to suffer the consequences of unmanaged risk. TARP/Stimulas/QE helped the common people feel that it is just a recession like other ones and few tax cuts here and there are all we need to do.
They are wrong and unfortunately there is no way to convince the people what would have had happened if Govt. did not step in all the way with TARP.
I wish they at least have seen their ATM cards not working ... which would have happened if US did not step in with remarkable agility.
This collective ignorance is the strength of republicans and the TP people. So, all they have to do is instigate suffering people that Govt. is taking your money in the form of taxes and having less taxes will be more money for you and since America has god on their side they will be fine anyway if they have faith on their preacher cum political campaigner.
This cancer of ignorance, initiated by Reagan and his cronies, is not going to go away and hurt America's progress for long time to come.
May be things have to go seriously bad - bad like your ATM cards not working bad - may be then people will pay attention to the real issues.
for starters
we are all to blame
we put them there
they are americans no different than all of us
etc etc
Happy Aprils Fools Day everybody!!!
It is time for high-level government employees to buckle down and accept the cutbacks. They have criticized the banks for taking bonuses after a fed rescue; however, the fed is similarly baling out the government (since the fed is NOT part of the government structure) and no effective cutback measures have been clear in the public eye. While lawmakers attempt to hold their salaries at the same rate, they ponder between cutting public jobs and decreasing the salaries of vital menial workers.
Short Note: These workers perform the tasks that support our infrastructure.
When businesses fail, they must restructure or discontinue their operations. In the case of government, we cannot have them cede and await an impending catastrophe. Therefore, lawmakers (who also usually have an additional stream of income) must be confident in their business success and forgo much of the benefits during these testing times.
Of course, easier said than done, with many government officials living solely of a government salary. However, can we ask: if they are leaders of our society should they not bare its problems as our front-line representatives and idols?
Any signs of a U.S. (and, by extension, world) recovery could be thrown off track in the next two to three months as Congress wrangles over raising the country's debt limit. In 1995 - 1996, a partisan Congress under Newt Gingerich refused to raise the debt ceiling which resulted in a shutdown of government and a massive impact on the United States economy.
Here is an examination of the issue showing just how frequently the debt ceiling has been raised in the past decade and how the entire situation has reached the point of absurdity under both Republicans and Democrats:
Article to the point, but it sounds like wishful thinking.
The hard question is: who cares about debt?
And unfortunately, not that many people, until the creditors come banging at the door as in Greece and Portugal.
That is actually a weakness of democracy: why would a government bother to clean public finances, for the next government, who may be their political rivals, to happily distribute the money saved and posture as the good guys?
Time to spit out the liberal fascist nanny state vampires
Economist: "Yet even set against that miserable standard, it is the Republicans who deserve most criticism. While extracting many concessions from the Democrats, they have made precious few themselves."
This is ridiculous on its face. The Democrats are fighting any cuts whatsoever. Thirty billion in cuts is a pittance. If the Repbulicans who were elected on a wave of Tea Party support are unable to achieve spedning reductions that amount to rounding error on the federal budget then they deserve to be turfed out - and that goes double for the intransigent Democrats whose free-wheeling spending is worseing the nation's fiscal position by the day.
The article states "THIRTY billion dollars is a lot of money for anyone except America's government. In Washington it is a bagatelle: about what the feds spend in three days, or less than 2% of the predicted budget deficit for this year"
I disagree. If the freshman congressmen can cut 2% now....then another 2% next month....and just keep hitting at this thing bit by bit....we could have a balanced budget in a few years.
The Republicans are not serious about the deficit? We have a lot of problems but being serious is not one of them. We have a lot of serious things that we have to be thinking about and we are. The money part will be solved because the people who do the spending are the ones who will do the solving, both in the states, and local, and in Washington.
The tea party stuff is all about "taking back our country" meaning from Obama. In many ways, our governmemt has been forcing things on us without getting out the vote,and this is beginning to look like a dictator sort of thing, like Obama getting us into a war to bring democrcy to the Arabs and ignoring ours.
Right now, none of us, except the polititions, are engaged on who will run against Obama in the next election. I, for one, do not even know if I will vote for Obama, or not, and I am a Democrat. What I do know, and dis-like, is that no one whom I would vote for is yet available. This did not count for much in the past. People wanted to be President, and we knew them, and voted for the one we liked best. It hasn't been that way for some time now, but I do vote, and I spend time checking on them. Apparently the young people do not as there was very little information on Obama, and they are the ones who put him in the office, and I did not like McCain.
Our American government frequently makes me sad. This is one such time.
@Lrja26, No, democracy is about marketing. Period.
@ cinncinn...whatever.
You are wrong about the pay. All civilians will not get paid, reagrdless of whether they are required to show up (ie they are EMERGENCY ESSENTIAL employees) The military will not even get paid, but will have to show up (and do the civilians jobs if they are not designated E-E) We (the military) are supposed to eventually get back pay, but the E-E civilians will work for free (never getting back pay). Last time this happened, I was deployed, young and had paid all my bills forward. this time, I have three kids a mortgage and I am not amused.
The tea party is an embarassment to this great nation I have been proud to serve in war and peace for over 20 years.
The established parties are not much better.
Outsourcing is the answer.
The only question:
Whom do we fire first?
The politicians?
or the electorate?
Two quick points:
1. The cuts would be aimed at the discretionary, non-entitlement portion of the 2010/11 Federal budget, which represents only 12 percent of the total budget. In short, the cuts would be immediately and disproportionally felt by the poor, the disabled, and the young.
2. A small problem in your chronology of events: Newt had his Air Force tantrum prior to the 1995 Federal government shutdown. That said, he admitted that this perceived snub was a factor in his role to shut down the government.
Whenever partisan politics is taked about in the US it always goes something like, "both sides are to blame, of course..." This usually preceeds some story about how firm Republicans are being on some position or another. Never is the term "unreasonable" used in summary. Finally the GOP is being given its share of the blame, the majority share.
If politicians read what Shakespeare said about debts, maybe they would solve the deficit once and for all
I wish I could take time and space to truly engage this subject. Briefly I agree with the mutual blame premise. However the mutual blame is differently distributed in my reading.
America is printing money in Keynesian reactions beyond any Fiat definitions. Our Federal Government has grown over 6500% since 1910 while the population it serves has grown a paltry 300%. And you say there is no fat more than the miniscule few Billion? Have you really studied this?
The GAO Report alone cited over one trillion dollars of redundant Agencies. The Tea Party is right. Unless we can grow our private economy without printing money our currency will go broke.
To date the poor is taking the brunt of food and fuel escalation caused by the QE's. The rich are getting richer and the spread widens. Look into history, if you read it, and look at the countries that went to all powerful Central Governments and large industries quickly moved their headquarters away from their home country to avoid taxes and absorbtion. Would you want to go through what China or Russia went through?
Our president plays his "Permit Gate" Fiddle while America's energy burns and he won't let it be replaced even when we have more oil than Saudi Arabia in Western State Shale and Alaska oil reserves in shallow ground. he does praise brazil for doing what he prevents. This would create a million jobs if it were "permitted" (Excuse the pun). )

As Singapore is a nation where space or available land area is a precious resource, the fact that Solar Thermal harvest per m² is by far higher than with other Solar technologies has been of special interest in the discussion.

FRANKFURT, Germany — When soccer teams battle for the World Cup in Brazil next year, another fight for global supremacy will be played out on the pitches — between Adidas and Nike.
In the next round of their tussle to be the world's biggest sports brand there is everything to play for.
Nike currently owns 14.6 percent of the global sporting goods market to Adidas' 11.4 percent, and is whittling away at the German brand's No. 1 position in Europe. Adidas held 13.2 percent of the western European sporting goods market in 2012 to Nike's 12.4 percent, according to Euromonitor data.
"It's not easy to evaluate (next year's) collections. Adidas is definitely putting a lot of effort into winning lost ground, but a company like Nike won't rest on its laurels," said Hans Allmendinger, head of marketing for German sporting goods retailer Sport2000.
Adidas has for more than 40 years decorated soccer kit and shoes with its distinctive parallel lines logo. It has strong partnerships setting it up well for the coming challenge: a close relationship with German club Bayern Munich, of which it owns 9 percent, and with FIFA, soccer's world governing body, for whom it designs official World Cup kit.
Adidas has forecast record 2014 soccer sales of over 2 billion euros and aims to boost group sales to 17 billion euros ($23 billion) in 2015.
U.S. Nike, meanwhile, only entered the soccer market in 1994. But already it has several major partnerships with clubs, including English champions Manchester United.
The owner of the distinctive 'swoosh' or tick logo, does not give forecasts for individual sport categories, but it is predicting group sales of up to $30 billion by 2015 — suggesting it thinks it can put in a sufficiently strong performance during the World Cup to stretch its global lead over the German company — and maybe beat it at home too.
In Nike's first fiscal quarter of 2013, ended August31, it posted an 8 percent jump in sales in Europe. Over the same period, Adidas' European sales fell 7 percent.
Ambush Marketing
Adidas is pulling out all the stops to make its presence felt in Brazil, where Nike sponsors the national team.
Brazil have won the World Cup a record five times and the country is a byword for stylish soccer, meaning there is a huge buzz around the tournament — and Nike's designs.
Adidas is aiming to make its presence felt with players like Lionel Messi and Mesut Ozil, who play for Adidas-sponsored national teams Argentina and Germany — and the launch of the official match ball, the "Brazuca" — on sale for $160 but free to Brazilians born on its launch day.
Given the scale of the battle however it will also be using what is politely known as "ambush marketing." Soccer watchers cite as an early example in this year's World Cup campaigns the launch of a new soccer top for the Palmeiras club in the yellow, green and blue worn by the Brazil national team.
"That will be ruffling a few feathers," said Berenberg Bank analyst John Guy. "They've certainly got a few tactical moves up their sleeves to consolidate their position against Nike and that's good to see."
Klaus Jost, president of the world's largest sportswear retailer Intersport, said Nike's roster of top soccer players like Frenchman Franck Ribery and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the reasons for Nike's increasing sales in Europe.
"It's much more about creating the right image," he told Reuters. "Stars like Ribery, Ronaldo and (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic have such an attraction that many kids want to copy them."
Big Stars
Big name endorsements are also responsible for Nike's broader success.
Retailers say the U.S. brand has gained market share this year thanks to well designed, comfortable products such as the top-selling Nike Free sneaker — and getting its performance-enhancing shoes on the feet of the biggest sports stars.
Nike's impressive roster of sponsorship deals includes current names like soccer star Ronaldo, tennis player Roger Federer, golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and legendary track and field athletes like Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson.
"Nike has done a really good job of presenting themselves as the true brand for performance," Tammy Smulder, managing director at marketing consultancy SCB Partners, told Reuters.
"Nike says, 'We will be associated with the top athletes, whatever the sport'. You can't dispute that," she added.
Adidas chief executive Herbert Hainer said this week the group had made some mistakes, but added: "We believe we can grow the business by launching a lot of new innovative products. Our pipeline of new products is full."
One of the ways Adidas is hoping to grow sales is by using the cushioning technology in its Boost running shoes for other categories such as basketball. That could enable it to increase sales of Boost shoes to 15 million pairs in 2015, after having only introduced the line earlier this year.
It has signed big names in sports other than soccer in a bid to gain market share from Nike. But its partnership with U.S. basketball star Derrick Rose has run into difficulties as a result of Rose suffering several injuries that have kept him off the court for months.
How to Measure Cool?
The biggest challenge in the battle of the brands is to win the crown of cool — something far more difficult than simply designing a new product.
At the moment, say market watchers and consultants, Nike seems to be stealing a march on Adidas thanks to early adoption of new technologies which it is then harnessing to a bigger social media presence.
"They have a good hunch for the next wave that will define a generation," Lea Simpson, strategy director at digital strategy agency TH_NK, told Reuters.
"In the 1980s, it was fitness, now it's tech and sustainability."
Nike has almost 2.5 million Twitter followers to just over 570,000 for Adidas. It also has higher Facebook engagement rates, showing its fans interact better than Adidas fans with posted content.
Its Nike+ Fuelband and other apps track training and can then post results on social media sites – a far more powerful demonstration of brand involvement than a Facebook 'like', Simpson said.
Adidas CEO Hainer said this week that the company would shift "much more money" into digital and social media.
Garth Farrar, global head of digital at Repucom, noted Adidas had already been producing more Vine clips, Facebook posts and tweets over the last months.
He said Adidas' social media campaign looked geared to "give the brand more cultural relevance beyond Europe .. and help protect the brand from any ambush stunts from Nike around the World Cup."

A Giant Token of Appreciation
Over the past year, many of our best selling gifts online and in our store have been from a company right across the bay from us, in Berkeley, California called Tokens & Icons. Essentially, they take authentic "stuff" and turn them into incredibly unique products: cufflinks, pens, lamps, wallets, bottle openers, and even furniture pieces. Examples include cufflinks made from MLB game-used baseballs, old transit tokens, European coins, typewriter keys, Scrabble tiles, and more.
Last night, the Founder & CEO was generous enough to invite me to Game 1 of the World Series, and what an experience it was. Despite a slow start, the Giants ended up producing 11 runs en route to victory. After the game, we headed down to the Clubhouse level to see the authenticators finishing up their duties of logging all the bats, balls, and jerseys they collected from the game (at one point, we were so close to Tim Lincecum, I'm pretty sure I could smell the marijuana on him). Hopefully soon, you'll be able to buy the Baseball Stitches cufflinks authenticated for the Giants/Rangers World Series.
While I won't be attending Game 2 tonight, we'll have it on 9 different TVs in Wingtip tonight, and Tokens & Icons is loaning us 3 barstools whose seats are actual bases from MLB games. Go Giants!

NORMAN — Player A came to campus ballyhooed, sat out his freshman year, fought through injuries and entered his fifth Sooner season with 2,471 career rushing yards.
Berry Tramel: The numbers say DeMarco Murray ranks among OU's elite running backs
Player B came to campus ballyhooed, fought through injuries, received an extra year of eligibility and entered his fifth Sooner season with 2,448 career rushing yards.
One of those players is Billy Sims. The other is DeMarco Murray.
That's right, the biographical and statistical similarities are striking between Sims, Player B and the best offensive player in OU football history, and Murray, Player A and the Sooners' senior tailback.
Though Murray has had what many would call a disappointing career — missing games with bizarre injuries and sharing time with Allen Patrick and Chris Brown — he's got more career yards after four years than did Sims, even though Sims won a Heisman Trophy in his fourth season.
Now as a senior, with a mandate from Bob Stoops to get the ball more than ever, Murray has a chance, barring another goofy injury, to zoom up the OU career chart.
* Needs just 933 yards to become the No. 6 all-time OU rusher.
* Needs 1,529 yards to join Sims, Joe Washington, Adrian Peterson and Steve Owens in the Sooners' 4,000-yard club.
* Needs 1,648 to break Sims' career record of 4,118 yards.
"Anything is possible," Murray said. "But I'm not looking forward to breaking anyone's record. I'm just trying to stay healthy."
That's been the hard part. A serious turf toe plagued Murray in 2006, so he redshirted. In 2007, Murray suffered a dislocated kneecap during an onside kick against Texas Tech. In 2008, it was a torn hamstring on the opening kickoff in the Big 12 title game.
In all, Murray has missed six games the past three years.
"I have no control whether I play one game or two or 10 or 12," Murray said. "Whenever I'm out there, I'm going to play as hard as I can.

Repowered Tug Tows Nonstop
For its third repower with Smith Maritime, Laborde supplied three Mitsubishi S12R-Y2MPTK Tier II engines rated at 5,000 hp for the tug Rhea. For its maiden voyage, Rhea towed a huge piece of oilfield equipment from Texas to Cape Verde Islands off of Africa before moving on to Nigeria, towing continuously for seven weeks. Rhea is a small, powerful, agile, sea-going tug capable of withstanding the rigors of ship and barge towing or ocean rescue service in all weather conditions. It's fitted and built for extended service at sea or in distant and remote locations. Smith Maritime's vessels operate primarily between the U.S., the Caribbean and South America. Its services include ocean and coastal towing, pipe and cable laying, submersible operations, cargo and dredge ops, demolition, harbor, anchor and buoy handling, and salvage and rescue.

It must be how you look
When you woke up
Or got choked up
Ruby eyes bloodshot
See the way you can't sit still
With no mention
But attention
For a dead flower
So I write, write, write
All the things I didn't miss
And despite, spite, spite
My conclusion is
Nobody wants u
Nobody wants u
Like I do
It must be what you said
Just the wrong time
To be laughing
What goes through that head
And you won't just act your age
So you dance it
Too romantic
Put me on display
Excuses, abuses
You've used me up
My patience can't take it
I've had enough
It must be meant to be
When you make up
From the breakup
So now I see
It must be how you looked
When you woke up
Right here next to me
I made a list, you found it
And you left and said we're through
So I'm here outside your window
In the dark and calling you
It opens, hear you breathing
My fingers through your hair
Tell me I do

Police: 1 dead, toll expected to rise in Glasgow
By The Associated Press
Firefighters and rescue workers inspect the damage on the roof of the building at the site of a helicopter crash, in Glasgow early Saturday Nov. 30, 2013. The police helicopter crashed late Friday night into the roof of a popular pub in Glasgow, Scotland, leaving the building littered with debris and emergency crews scrambling to the scene. (AP Photo /Andrew Milligan, PA) UNITED KINGDOM OUT, NO SALES, NO ARCHIVES
GLASGOW, Scotland - At least one person is dead from the crash of a police helicopter onto a crowded Glasgow pub and the toll is expected to climb, officials said Saturday.
As specialist search and rescue teams continued to probe the wreckage of The Clutha pub, Chief Constable Stephen House confirmed that overnight 32 people were taken by ambulance to hospitals in following the crash.
"Sadly at this time I can also confirm one fatality," he told reporters. "We expect that number to increase over the coming hours."
House said specialist teams are working to make sure everyone is recovered from the scene, where revelers were packed into the pub to hear a local ska band when the helicopter crashed through the roof.
Police couldn't say whether people were still trapped inside the pub, but the hope is to find survivors, he said.
"Highly trained firefighters from all over Scotland are carrying out rescue operations at the scene," House said. "They are continuing to make the building safe to allow full examination of the scene to ensure that everyone is recovered."
Scotland's leader Alex Salmond said it was a `'black day for Glasgow and for Scotland."
Police and air-safety investigators have begun inquiries, but say it is too early to say why the Eurocopter EC135 T2 helicopter - carrying two police officers and a civilian pilot - came down.
Authorities said they had made contact with people still inside The Clutha, where a ska band was performing when the helicopter came down. Search and rescue dogs were on the scene, along with more than 100 firefighters.
The crash Friday at around 10:30 p.m. local time sent dozens of patrons fleeing through a cloud of dust. Witnesses spoke of people streaming out of the building covered in blood, with gashes and other injuries.
As dawn broke, firefighters clambered on to the collapsed roof and pulled tarps over the wreckage of the helicopter. There was no word on the fate of those aboard.
Grace MacLean, who was inside the pub at the time, said she heard a "whoosh" noise and then saw smoke.
"The band were laughing, and we were all joking that the band had made the roof come down," she told the BBC. "They carried on playing, and then it started to come down more, and someone started screaming, and then the whole pub just filled with dust. You couldn't see anything, you couldn't breathe."
Retired firefighter Edward Waltham said he ran into the pub to help rescuers, and found one man covered in dust and apparently badly injured.
"My initial reaction for him from my experience was to try not to move him because he had been in a crush situation," Waltham told BBC News. "But as we were lying there other people were literally being pulled out of the pub and more or less thrown on top of us."
People formed a human chain to help pass unconscious people out of the pub so that "inch by inch, we could get the people out," said Labour Party spokesman Jim Murphy, who was in the area when the helicopter came down.
"The helicopter was inside the pub. It's a mess. I could only get a yard or two inside. I helped carry people out," Murphy told Sky News. "I saw a pile of people clambering out of the pub in the dust. No smoke, no fire, just a huge amount of dust."
The twin-engined Eurocopter is widely used by police and ambulance services.
In 2007, a Eurocopter EC135 T2 crashed in southern England. The pilot and his wife were unhurt, but the aircraft was badly damaged. Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch said there had been a failure of the autotrim system which maintains the aircraft's position. The agency recommended changes to correct the problem.

Perfect for our foyer Patricia from Somers Point, NJ– Verified Buyer We needed a replacement for our umbrella stand that was broken by accident by a friend's large dog. After much searching on various sites, we selected this one. It arrived in three days (no charge for shipping!) and was in perfect condition. It is a bit taller than our former stand which we like. The blue and white design is lovely. We would recommend it highly. |
Down-sized but Decorated Catherine from Sandy Springs, GA– Verified Buyer Very pleased with this purchase! We down-sized from a large house to a smaller town home. Foyer area is small, but I wanted it to still feel elegant. This Asian-inspired piece is a nice addition and looks great with my antique trunk and table. I also have a Ginger jar to complement it! |
Great piece R from Miami, FL– Verified Buyer Beautiful piece for a classy umbrella stand look. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because the actual product is more of a muted white/gray and blue vs a true white and blue as it appears in the photo. |
MS Colleen from Erving, MA– Verified Buyer Background is on the 'gray-ish' side. Had the background been white - the cobalt decorations would have been |
Nice product Mustangmaggie from Freehold, NJ– Verified Buyer Nice looking umbrella holder and looks good in my entry. This item arrived quickly and in good condition. Second item I ordered and am quite satisfied with their service |

If you are a Bourbon Lover and visiting Frankfort, KY then you have to visit Art up at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. For those of you not familiar with the history of Buffalo Trace it was one of the only four Bourbon Distilleries allowed to remain open during the prohibition.
So for those of you who know me you know that getting me to try new things isn't always the easiest. I am picky and if I think it's going to hurt or burn to eat it I will adamantly refuse (I still wont eat shrimp.) Bourbon has always been something I've been skeptical about but my best friend in the world, Ronnie, adores more than killing Zombies (Okay maybe not *more* but it's close.) The first tour we went on I couldn't even finish my Bourbon, I made Brian drink mine for me. When I got to Buffalo Trace I was excited to learn it's history more than drink the Bourbon but then I met Art.
I got the pleasure of meeting Art before the tour. I was perusing the gift shop and was looking over the bourbons they had available for sale, I expressed my lack of interest to bourbon and he taught me his little tricks to loving bourbon. Now, I wont tell you those tricks here, for that you are going to have to go talk to Art. As he started to describe the flavors and the history behind each taste the more interested I became. I'm a history buff, what can I say.
He explained the process, took us through the bottling room and even showed us the 'speak easy' that had been built into the distillery which lead to a large warehouse filled to the brim with barrels of bourbon.
He talked about the specific water found in Kentucky and why it effects bourbon the way it does
The different types of warehouses effect how the bourbon ages, some houses are built to breathe with more seasons, others are a little more temperature controlled
The more that we explored the distillery and learned the history of bourbon the more excited I got to try some (and try Art's tricks too!) When we got back to the gift shop, we went back to the bar and were allowed to sample two different types of bourbon. I tried the traditional Buffalo Trace Whiskey as well as the Bourbon Cream, both were incredible.
Buffalo Trace Whiskey really holds the flavor of the barrels as well as the flavors that Kentucky has to offer. As I rolled it over my tongue I remembered my first night in Kentucky and the drive in, it reminded me of the Kudzu on the side of the highways and the rolling horse pastures. More importantly it reminded me of the Derby and Tammy's Mint Julep Popsicles, which were more than a little dangerous but so totally worth it.
Bourbon Cream was an experience all it's own, a cream liquor in a class all it's own. Currently the only desert Bourbon on the market and worth every penny. Seriously, running out in this house is a pretty big deal. Art suggested we put it on ice cream, we can't eat ice cream without it now. We're totally hooked. The spices found in bourbon compliment the vanilla cream perfectly and the soft heat you get from the liquor takes it's time before it fades.
The tour was excellent and so was the after party, Thanks Art and Buffalo Trace for the excellent time! We will be home again soon to pick up some more of our favorites.

If you've been on the internet at all in the past week, you've probably already seen the Women Against Feminism tumblr going around, or at the very least read about it.
I didn't think too much of it when I saw it, for two reasons. For one, most of the women had a tenuous grasp (at best) on the definition of feminism, one that seemed like it was informed in its entirety by Rush Limbaugh and Jessi Spano, and also the belief that "misandry" jokes are actually serious.
The other reason was that most of the "women" actually looked like teenage girls. Considering that I was super into Ayn Rand when I was a teenage girl, I can't get too far up on my high horse with regards to the contributors. Let's just say that if Tumblr was around in the late 1990s, I'm sure there'd be a photo of…

Trigger Warning: Discusses Rape, Harassment, Assault, Controversial Issues, and very intimate details about my life. If you are not comfortable reading this, then please continue to the next article. For kids under 16 parents should be advised.
"What first prompted you to move and why you're so passionate about women's rights and rape culture"
So the person who asked me this is a personal friend of mine who I met while we were working at a less than reputable place in Louisville, KY. When we first met I had only been in Kentucky for a couple of weeks, we clicked instantly and she became one of my closest friends which is part of why this article is being posted. This post continues below the break.
I have always known that Vermont was not the place for me, when I was a little kid I attempted to run away several times but in child-like innocence I would pack too much and not be able to carry it, pack the wrong things or get about half a mile away before I would get hungry/tired/scared of the dark and would head home promptly to my nice warm bed. In that bed I would dream of far away places, magical and enchanting like New York City, and as we drove past open fields I would day dream about galloping full speed across the Scottish highlands. I was constantly reading books about every other culture that I could find, when I was five or six I was obsessed with Ancient Egyptians and read every single book I could get my little fingers on and understand. I had a high reading level to say the least.
School did not make me living in Vermont any easier, I was not in the 'in crowd.' A lot of people say that small towns are safer, better and more respectable than big cities and in my experience that is just not the case. Cabot is a beautiful town, but it wasn't safe for me and getting out of Cabot became my goal in forth grade. What really sealed the deal was when I was 13.
A few things happened when I was 13 that really effected my life, there were some family issues on both sides that left me feeling very angry and very alone. The adults in my life were not how I needed them to be and it was a lot. Depression runs in my family pretty deep, I certainly wasn't new to the concept at 13 and it got pretty destructive. I made some bad choices, burned some bridges and pushed as many people away as I possibly could. As the adults in my life were doing their thing I fell into a less than stellar crowd and made a less than stellar 'friend' who later raped me. Being 13 was absolute hell. He told the group of friends what happened as if I were into it and of course, small town, news travels, questions got asked and guys started to get a little more aggressive in their advances. After all I wasn't a virgin anymore. Not only that but when I went to the Vice Principle of the school she did nothing. She didn't report it. I disappeared from my head for three years and shut everything down. I had also caught on to cutting, something I hadn't even thought about until the nurse had to come to each of our classes and talk to us about it because it was becoming an epidemic across the US.
In the time that I dissociated I made some really amazing friends that brought me back to being me, even when I was the biggest jerk to them sometimes. When I finally came back to my own head and actually started to be able to remember my day to day activity I was 16 years old… It had been three years of what? What do you even call the space that you are in when you're dissociated? For those who don't know the feeling of dissociation it's like a vacuum pulling yourself out of your body and sometimes you watch "yourself" and sometimes you don't. Imagine watching your body from the back seat of a car but it's NOT you and you know it. That's kind of what dissociation feels like.
I was unreasonably hard to deal with, especially because during all of this time I was still being sexually abused my my peers. I hated physical contact, when people would touch me it would make me nauseous to the point where I would get dizzy. The word sex turned my stomach and even putting in a tampon was too much, the thought of hands down there made me so incredibly sick to my stomach. It still does sometimes, I have never been able to have a healthy sexual relationship with myself because of this.
It took me a really long time to get out of these cycles of finding unhealthy or abusive relationships, at least that's what it felt like. I always found myself in a dangerous or fucked up situation. I stopped trusting myself. I miscarried when I was 19, in my mind that was my fault, I hated myself. I destroyed friendships that mattered the world to me. I went back to the one person holding me back over and over again because it was all that I deserved and I was scared of something better. This mentality ended up with me in the hospital the first time for my anxiety, the second time was because I overdosed on my newly prescribed anti-depressants. It was really really brutal and I really really needed help.
There had been so many times in my life that things could have changed if someone had stepped in and stood up for me when I was a teen. If I had even let them step in. The things I went through left physical scars on my body, self inflicted and otherwise that will probably never fade. People accepted what I went through, accused me of lying, asked me what I did to provoke it, told me and reminded me it was my fault over and over and over again. And that was all in a small town in the USA. Where we don't have gangs or massive drug violence. I wasn't stood up for when I needed someone to stand up for me, partially because the adults in my life really did have really difficult things to deal with on their own. I understood that. I want to change that.
When I think back about all of these things I want to change all of that history and give my teen self the information of what was happening, what rape actually was and how to get help after it happens, how to deal with depression and anxiety. I wish I hadn't felt so alone and I wish I had the resources on hand to be able to change it. Then I think about my future and if I ever have children of my own, the information they will need to survive and how I can provide the best life for them I can and I look at our current social situation and I get worried. Rape Culture is so prominent and Women's Rights are getting punched at daily. I still am scared walking down the street alone at night and I am a well equipped 23-year-old woman, what about my future 17-year-old daughter when she sneaks out of the house one night to go hang out with what's his face? Will she have everything she needs to feel and be safe? Will she be prepared if something happens?
I do not want this future for my daughters or anyone else's daughters. I want them to love themselves fully and without regret and have the resources to do so even when things go wrong. I don't want them to be embarrassed to wear bikinis, or feel in danger wearing a short skirt on a hot day. I want them to be able to dance and laugh fully and often. And if I want all of these things than I need to be the one to change how women and their rights are viewed every single day. I model with my scars because they are a part of me, just like my piercings and tattoos. I write on here about all of my adventures because I fought like hell and goddamn it I deserve it. I will be damned if I let them win. I fight for Women's Rights because we deserve them, we are human. We deserve to love ourselves unconditionally and to have the ability to take care of our bodies. I fight against Rape Culture because I have an amazing little sister who I love who is 14 now and if something were to ever happen I would want someone to stand up for her. I want her to have those resources she will hopefully never need.
I hope this answered your question, K <3

Note: So when people ask me about what I do and why or how I got into ToTTN or AngelicaDemone I always like to respond, I am going to start calling the blogs I respond to these questions in You Asked It.
What got me into blogging? I honestly have no idea. I think it started somewhere when I was in middle school and just starting to realize what the internet had to offer for me. I actually started out on Blogger with your usual dark and moody teenager mind set, I wrote crazy amounts of poetry that when I now look back on I cringe due to the lack of grammar or spelling and at that age all I wanted to be was a famous writer. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes was hands down my writing idol, after all she wrote her first novel when she was 13-years-old and my 14-year-old-self would have died to be able to do that.
So I started blogging furiously, I wrote poems, short stories, I had chapters for novels that didn't exist with no timeline to be found. I couldn't ever finish a novel because I have a terribly hard time ending things, I never want the adventure to stop and it always feels wrong to put an end to it. Even when I write blogs now it can be hard to stop and not just continue onto the next story in the timeline.
Least to say my teenage self only really had a few followers, after all my blog was more like an online diary where I could freely express my feelings which was something that was hard for me to do with friends or at home. When I was 13 I went through some fairly traumatic experiences that have haunted me to this day and writing has been one of the only things keeping me sane sometimes and my teen years were so much about that.
As I got older I stopped blogging and just started keeping journals that I would hide all over the place, I'd have three or four journals going at once and kept in various places to keep all of my ideas and thoughts organized. Most of them haven't survived over the years for various reasons, mainly being they can be a lot to travel with and many of them became digital with laptops being more common among the rest of the population class and less with the business class. Scroll forward a few years and you'll find me on my way to Louisville, Kentucky and contemplating novels again.
I had the idea that I wanted to document my travels but I also wanted to write an apocalyptic novel based on the idea of the US being taken over by a foreign country and what that would look like. To do this I would have to keep close detail to the places I had gone and visited, the restaurants and local mindset so I could really capture the cities I would be writing about. After all if you've never been to Louisville you really won't know where 2nd street is, will you.
Fast forward to when I moved to California with my boyfriend, Brian, and started to talk to people about all of the adventures I have gone on. It was easy enough with friends and family posting about neat things on facebook but I found strangers and friends of the family being curious about the adventures that I never really thought of talking about, let alone writing about. So last October I started Tales of the Traveling Nerd, my most successful blog thus far. It has seriously been one of my favorite things to do, I love to tell my stories of my adventures or talk about the favorite beers that I've gotten the pleasure of trying.
Traveling has been my passion forever. I've always loved adventure, getting lost, trying new things, listening to new music, learning a new language and telling a story.So TL;DR: I started blogging when I was very young to cope with some really hard traumas that I went through and then turned it into my dream job a few months ago.
So for a while now I've been keeping my modeling and this blog separate for a lot of reasons, the main reason being is the images in my modeling are often NSFW (not safe for work.) I have finally decided … Continue reading

The Heart Survives LyricsArtist: REO SpeedwagonAlbum: The Ballads Cause I'd used up all my strength And you can't let a woman see you cryin And you know it's real She's not gonna change her mind You choose not to change your ways Though she begged you a thousand times And you don't understand And you want to be a man about it In time you'll learn to live without it And you know that you'll survive But still sometimes you doubt it If you can stand a little rain You're gonna grow again Cause you know that when love dies The heart survives Your stare at the empty walls Inside of this vacant home You walk through these hollow halls And at night you sleep alone Chorus You've been over it so many times in your head Looking for a hidden message of hope In something she said Still you find nothing to make this bad dream end Tell me, how many sleepless nights will you spend Chorus
