A couple weeks ago, the American Family Association protested CPAC's inclusion of GOProud - a gay conservative group - as a CPAC 2010 sponsor. They may say they don't hate homosexuals, but the AFA rhetoric makes it pretty clear that they don't want gay people around.
A spokesman for the American Family Association says a Republican homosexual activist group doesn't belong at a popular conservative political conference in February. ... "The bottom line is that homosexuality is not a conservative value," Fischer states emphatically.
Unsurprisingly, WorldNetDaily is leaping to participate in the bigotry, saying that "A viral alarm [is] spreading among conservatives that the American Conservative Union is accepting homosexual sponsorship for its annual Conservative Political Action Conference..." and adding "Campaign launched to reject support from homosexuals". AFA Action is demanding other conservative organizations oppose GOProud participation at CPAC, saying "groups that promote the normalization of homosexual behavior should be resisted without reserve or compromise by any genuinely conservative organization."
Know how you can tell this is more about bigotry against gays themselves than principled opposition to any support for gay marriage?
American Family Association and WorldNetDaily are not defending traditional marriage or conservative principles. They're just being bigots.
I've made my case regarding gay marriage in the past, and I'll line up with Ed Morrissey of Hot Air on this story. Commending CPAC's courage in accepting and defending GOProud's co-sponsorship, Morrissey writes that "GOProud's priorities are fundamentally in line with [our key principles]. We should not allow a purity campaign to push away natural allies on the fiscal crisis that grips our country, and the opportunity we have to correct it in 2010."
I hope a CPAC speaker will address this matter and express support for GOProud...or even make the case for gay marriage. I'm looking at you, Andrew Breitbart. Or perhaps it's time to start a "Draft Dick Cheney to talk about Gay Marriage at CPAC" campaign.
Should GOProud and CPAC face more of this during CPAC 2010, I hope that CPAC attendees, whatever their position on the gay marriage issue itself, will stand against the kind of bigotry that WorldNetDaily and American Family Association are peddling.
The RNC still has not responded to my questions about whether they will continue associating with the conspiracy peddlers at WorldNetDaily. That's disappointing, but there is better news.
In addition to CPAC declining to have WorldNetDaily speak on the "birther movement" at CPAC 2010, a variety of other very prominent conservative & libertarian organizations have privately told me they would not be working with WorldNetDaily, either. One said they would ensure their staff put WND on the "blacklist". Understandably perhaps, they prefer not to go on the record. However, they represent some of the largest, most prominent conservative & libertarian organizations. I consider these encouraging victories for the ethics and integrity of the Right.
If your organization will commit to not associating itself with these irresponsible fringes on the Right, please email me. I'd be happy to report it. In the meantime, you might consider asking Walter Williams, Nat Hentoff and Thomas Sowell why they continue to associate with the disreputable WorldNetDaily.
this site is useless
The reaction to the WorldNetDaily story has been remarkable and I appreciate those that have offered support. I would encourage people to continue contacting me about which organizations on the Right are, or are not, working with WorldNetDaily.
[1] Let's start with good news: WorldNetDaily will not be at CPAC next year. I exchanged emails with the CPAC organizer earlier today and she told me this:
[WorldNetDaily founder Joseph] Farah asked if he could speak on the issue (birther movement), but that isn't something we're interested in.
Rejected. Well done. There are a couple other demagogues who appeal to our baser instincts that I would like to see CPAC decline to host, too, but this is a very positive step. Kudos, CPAC.
If any other organizations wish to let it be known that they also reject or renounce association with WorldNetDaily, please email me.
[2] Almost everybody seems to have a misconception about what I'm doing here. I have not called for a reader boycott of WorldNetDaily. I don't think that would do much good, anyway. Like Alex Jones, Joseph Farah and WND will have readers; there's a market for the bunker mentality and criticism only rallies them. (shrug) It's not my goal to persuade the true believers. If they didn't reason their way into it, they probably won't reason their way out of it.
What I have argued is that credible organizations on the Right should not be supporting or encouraging the fevered swamps. If they do, the Right should not support them. Most coverage seems to have misunderstood this.
[3] After my post on the RNC's non-response to my questions, I had hoped the RNC might do the right thing and provide answers - hopefully, the right answers. Integrity can be difficult in the short term, but it's important...and it's better than letting the world watch you try to hide in plain sight. Unfortunately, I have not heard a word from them. Nothing. That is disappointing.
[4] I very much appreciated Patrick Ruffini's thoughtful comments. He is right. The Joe-The-Plumberization of the Right is dangerous. Echo chambers reinforce and magnify errors. We need more Bill Buckley and less Bill O'Reilly.
[5] I always appreciate Robert Stacy McCain's blogging - he really is a terrific writer - but he misunderstands my argument about WorldNetDaily. I'm not calling for a "purge" of the grassroots and I certainly hope we don't have to choose between "grassroots" and "reality". If we do have to choose between the two, we lose. William F. Buckley's rejection of the John Birch Society is a very important precedent, so it's worth remembering how Buckley responded to criticisms of his editorial.
It was precisely my desire to strengthen the ranks of conservatism that led me to publish the editorial. Our movement has got to govern. It has got to expand by bringing into our ranks those people who are, at the moment, on our immediate Left - the moderate, wishy-washy conservatives; the Nixonites… I am talking… about 20 to 30 million people… If they are being asked to join a movement whose leadership believes the drivel of [the Birch Society leadership], they will pass by crackpot alley, and will not pause until they feel the warm embrace of those way over on the other side, the Liberals."
My view is this: If Republicans don't clean up their own house, they cannot govern. They may win elections again, but they won't be able to do anything with it; they won't know what to do with it. [See: 2001-2009] We can't have a two-party system composed of Democrats and Not-Democrats.
Beating Democrats is not enough. We need to actually have something worth beating them with.
[6] Conor Friedersdorf makes an important point.
One problem on the right is that loyalty to the grassroots is defined by how shamelessly one panders to them. Thus a talk radio host who crafts an inaccurate news narrative that plays to the prejudices of his audience is deemed a loyal player advancing the movement's ends, whereas a blogger who points out how his words mislead listeners about reality is considered an obstacle to the cause who is overly concerned about playing fair. Unlike some in the media, I don't regard the grassroots on the right as uniquely insane. I've done enough reporting at that level to know that most Americans on the right and left are reasonable people acting in good faith. The right's fringe problem at this moment in time is one that elites have created as much as any crazy fringe righty. Outfits ... deliberately play on the worst impulses of the conservative base, stoking their paranoia and misleading them about reality, all for the sake of bigger audiences and greater revenues. That ought to outrage anyone who actually respects the grassroots, and has their best interests at heart.

This is not a problem unique to the Right. After all, "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." Next, one hopes, comes regeneration.
After I argued that credible organizations on the Right should not support the conspiracy peddling of WorldNetDaily, it was pointed out that the RNC appears to have rented access to the WND email list. So I emailed the RNC to inquire about it and encourage them to stop.
My question was: "Is the RNC really renting the World Net Daily email list?" This was the response from the RNC Press Secretary:
Nice to meet you. Pls note that we have already weighed in on the birther issue -- weeks ago. Thanks.
The Press Secretary then appended a NYT story in which this was their response:
"Chairman Steele believes this is an unnecessary distraction and that the president is a U.S. citizen," said Gail Gitcho, a spokesperson for the Republican National Committee. "He wants to move on and continue talking about real and immediate issues that are facing our nation, like health care and the economy. Chairman Steele has other issues to take up with the president having to do with policy, not a birth certificate."
So, the sum total of the RNC's response was (a) Obama is "a U.S. citizen", but (b) we want to ignore this Birther story, (c) we're not saying whether or not we're working with the Birthers, and (d) we're just going to completely ignore the actual question you asked.
I sent two follow up emails requesting clarification on the following points.
The RNC has not responded to either of my emails. So, in addition to the questions listed above, here are a few more questions:
In the 1960's, Goldwater and a few Republicans had the integrity and guts to denounce the irresponsible fringe in the fevered swamps of the Right. Today, as far as I can tell, the Republican National Committee works with them.
If the RNC responds further - and I hope they do - I will update this post with that response.
I'm going to post more follow up on the WorldNetDaily issue - including the response I've gotten from the RNC - but first a round-up of the responses we've gotten from WND and their charming readers.
Joseph Farah at WorldNetDaily...
In The Washington Times, Farah "questioned Mr. Henke's motives and standing", arguing that The Next Right is "pretty much a Republican establishment group who has worked for the RNC and the Republican Party and I can certainly understand why a group like that would have problems with World Net Daily." He added "these are not journalists, they are political activists who have their own agendas."
So, he's taking the "you can't handle the truth!" approach so beloved by true believers and conspiracy theorists. He also seems to think I'm part of the "Republican establishment" and aligned with the RNC. This is an interesting argument, considering the fact that I'm trying to get the RNC to stop working with Joseph Farah.
Some WorldNetDaily readers also wrote to offer feedback.
Dave says I'm a Commie Leftist or RINO and he does't read this blog.
"Tell me son are you a Commie Leftist incognito or just a RINO being stupid? I've read WND for years, which is more than I can say for your blog. I can't wait to read your blog after BO gets his army of maggots after you one day."
Randy Curtis says Birchers and Birthers were right and I've drunk the Kool-Aid
Actually you are embarrassing to the right but you wouldn't know the right from Adam's off ox. History is showing that the Bircher's were right and while the "Birthers" may not be correct in their accusations they are right in demanding that Obama show what he has in order to prove what he says. Instead he spends thousands to stop people from questioning him. This is not a problem for you? These questions could end tomorrow and we could look ar his Socialist agenda if he would put up. Have another sip of Kool-aid and go to sleep since you disregard the founding documents and their principles. If you belong to the right then you should appreciate WND.
Carmen Valdes says I must be enjoying the traffic from WND (actually, WND doesn't really send much traffic) and I'm a communist:
you must be basking in the sun with all the free publicity you must be getting from Farah's editorial in WND directing traffic to your unknown little hole. since you are in the same bed as media matters and the huffinton post no serious normal thinking conservative would be associated with the likes of you. why don't you direct your efforts to exposing obama's administration being run by communists and terrorists? what am i thinking? you are one of them
Jeffery says I am an "enemy of American", he's going to troll the web attacking me and our CAPTCHA sucks:
YOU sir are an enemy of America in the WORSE FORM! www.wnd.com is one of the FEW REAL INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST LEFT!! So I will be posting and suggesting a boycott of YOUR MOVEMENT all over the net today and the rest of the week, then month and maybe even year unless I see a retraction of some type from wnd.com. Have a good day. By the way your "captcha" makes no sense, the first word is no "word" at all.
Gunnery Sgt D.C. Robertson threatened me with violence and wrote a lot of things that I'm going to redact.
Jon,I hope you get a triple case of AIDS the next time you take it up the a**, you f*****g homo. You and your putrid ilk put that Comie n****r in the White House and accidently woke up the silent majority of white, Christain, tax-paying Americans. No longer will the soul of this great nation be intimidated by political correctness. You f****d up buddy and now you have a front row seat to see the newly awakened vanquish the cancer of fascism from this land. Oh, by the by, I do hope to meet you in person some day for a bit of attitude adjustment.Semper Fi, Motherf****r.
Plungeon offered his thoughts in ALL CAPS. That's way more convincing than those sentence case arguments.
J.T. Wheeler thinks I was put up to this in order to help somebody stage a "coup".
You smell like a liberal. It sounds like someone put you up to a hit piece on WND, to help commence a staged "right-wing" coup.
I wear the criticisms of Joseph Farah and his WorldNetDaily supporters like a badge of honor.
This is just hideously embarrassing for the Right.
[T]he Web site Worldnetdaily.com says that the government is considering Nazi-like concentration camps for dissidents. Jerome Corsi, the author of "The Obama Nation," an anti-Obama book, says that a proposal in Congress "appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents, such as occurred in Nazi Germany."
In the 1960's, William F. Buckley denounced the John Birch Society leadership for being "so far removed from common sense" and later said "We cannot allow the emblem of irresponsibility to attach to the conservative banner."
The Birthers are the Birchers of our time, and WorldNetDaily is their pamphlet. The Right has mostly ignored these embarrassing people and organizations, but some people and organizations inexplicably choose to support WND through advertising and email list rental or other collaboration. For instance, I have been told that F.I.R.E (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) - an otherwise respectable group that does important work - uses the WND email list. They should stop. [SEE UPDATE II]
No respectable organization should support the kind of fringe idiocy that WND peddles. Those who do are not respectable.
I think it's time to find out what conservative/libertarian organizations support WND through advertising, list rental or other commercial collaboration (email me if you know of any), and boycott any of those organizations that will not renounce any further support for WorldNetDaily.
I have inquired with F.I.R.E., but they have not responded to my email. I will attempt to get an answer from them again. If you know or can contact somebody with F.I.R.E, please let me know what you hear.
I have also inquired with the RNC, which appears to have recently paid for access to the WorldNetDaily email list. I have not gotten a substantive response from the RNC yet.
In the meantime, I would encourage you to (a) email me with any substantive information you have on what other right-of-center groups advertise on, or rent email lists from, WorldNetDaily, and (b) email or call to let these groups know that Republican, conservative or libertarian groups should not support Birther/Concentration Camp conspiracy theories.
I tried to contact F.I.R.E. yesterday before publishing this and I tried again today, but never received a response. However, David Mastio, Senior Editor for Online Opinion and Innovation at the Washington Times, emails to tell me the response he got from F.I.R.E.
I called Fire and talked to the Veep Robert Shibley. According to him, Fire rented a list from WND through a third party broker on one occasion (SOP for list rental) and does not have any continuing relationship or plans to rent from them again. He says that they were not aware of any loopy views espoused by WND as they didn't see a need to investigate before they rented the list.

I think that is a reasonable and satisfactory explanation from F.I.R.E.

The Banner Saga, Toren, Kyn, Armikrog Coming to PlayStation 4
16w ago
- Crusader at Versus Evil
Georgina Verdon
announced today that The Banner Saga, Toren, Kyn and Armikrog are coming to PlayStation 4 with details below.
To quote: If you haven't been hiding under a rock for the last 2-3 years, you'll have noticed that there's an underground movement in the world of video games: indies.
Versus Evil is an indie publisher who has been lucky enough to partner with several talented, passionate indie studios to help them launch their "babies" into the big, wide, rabid world of gamers. Yes, that's YOU lot! We are beyond excited to tell you about a few games that will be coming to the PS4 in early 2015. Each one is unique in its own right.
This is just a really weird way to make a game, but it works! From the original game creators of Earthworm Jim and the Neverhood, comes a point and click adventure...wait for it... stop motion clay animation video game (Try and say that 10 times quickly!).
Supported by a quirky but quite mesmerizing original soundtrack from Terry Taylor, Armikrog will throw you into a rich, colorful world packed with lovable oddball characters and a lot of toilet humor.
The Banner Saga
The quality bar has been set! With several awards already under its belt and a second...

Ackk Studios: Indie RPG Y2K is Coming to PS4 and PS Vita
16w ago
- ACKK STUDIOS LLC Co-director
Andrew Allanson
announced today that Indie RPG Y2K is coming to PS4 and PS Vita platforms.
Below are the details, to quote: Hey, readers! I'm Andrew Allanson, from AckkStudios. I'm here to tell you about a 3D, turn-based, Japanese-style RPG that we are developing for PS4 and PS Vita. The game is called Y2K.
Y2K is being developed by Brian & Andrew Allanson with Jose Alfaro, Ian Bailey, and Brigid Allanson. We unite under the name of AckkStudios LLC! Ackk is partnering with Ysbryd Games to ensure polish and funding for the game.
So, what's all this Y2K stuff about?
For those of you too young to remember, Y2K refers to the year 2000 problem. Basically, it was a coding bug that was projected to create havoc in computers and computer networks around the world at the beginning of the year 2000... a lot of people thought the world was going to end because of this. It was pretty crazy.
With that in mind, here are more specifics about the premise: When an erratically-behaving elevator claims the life of a young woman, unemployed recent college graduate Alex Eggleston takes to a primitive 1990s message-board to find answers about the death of this stranger. His quest for answers leads to more questions as his research points him to...

OriGaminc Announces Henka Twist Caper is Coming to PS4 in 2015
16w ago
- OriGaminc Developer
Shawn Pierre
announced today that Henka Twist Caper is coming to PS4 in 2015 with details below.
To quote: The digital world is a great place to play and experience games. But hey, let's not forget the physical space, which is certainly not without its charm. And sometimes, there are games that combine the two!
Well, today I want to share a game I've been working on which takes digital and physical, and combines them into a quirky play session. It's time to twist, turn, and move around your friends in Henka Twist Caper!
Henka Twist Caper brings play to the physical space with the help of PlayStation's unique controllers. Players take a controller, twist, turn, and position it until they find the correct, secret position for their controller. Once they find their position, the controller lights up.
Holding it in the correct position adds points to a player's meter. As one would expect, the first one to fill their meter wins. Of course, there's a catch. Players are allowed to interfere with each other. Which, in a race against others, makes all the difference.
So, let's say you're twisting, turning, and pointing your own controller, but then notice your arch rival's controller lighting up. You'll have to do your best to maintain your composure,...

Video: Alien Trap Games: Apotheon Coming to PS4 in January, 2015
16w ago
- Alien Trap Games Designer
Jesse McGibney
shared a PlayStation 4 video trailer today announcing that Apotheon is coming to PS4 in January, 2015.
To quote: A few months ago we were excited to announce our partnership with PlayStation and Sickhead games to bring our Greek Mythology inspired hack em' up Apotheon to PS4.
Now, we're even more excited because after a whole lot of optimizing, beta testing, bugfixing, and paperwork, Apotheon will finally be launching in January 2015 on the PlayStation 4!
We're just putting the last finishing touches on Apotheon, but soon enough you'll be fighting your way up Mount Olympus, Aspis in one hand, Xiphos in the other.
Speaking of Olympus, in our last post we talked a bit about the combat that is at the core of Apotheon. This time, let's shed some light onto the Mountain that makes up the game world itself.
Olympus is, as you're probably aware, the mythical home of the Greek Gods. But in Apotheon, all the Gods have abandoned earth (even the little ones that live in streams, trees, and rocks) and so Olympus has become a pretty crowded place, with Zeus playing host to a lot of displaced divine refugees.
Peaceful palaces have turned into bustling marketplaces, squatters have taken up residence in sewers, drunken...

Retro City Rampage: DX Coming to PS4, PS3, PS Vita November 11th
17w ago
- VBlank Entertainment Developer
Brian Provinciano
announced today that Retro City Rampage: DX is coming to PS4, PS3 and PS Vita platforms on November 11th, 2014.
Below are the details, to quote: Retro City Rampage: DX, the top-to-bottom remaster of the original game will make its PS4 debut along with the brand new PS3 and PS Vita DX versions this November 11th, complete with cross buy and cross save for all three consoles.
With a 20% off PlayStation Plus launch week discount, you'll get all three for $7.99 ($9.99 without Plus). That's only around $3 for each platform, and much less than the original RCR's $14.99 launch price.
So What's 'DX,' Exactly?
Those who've been following RCR will know just how much the game has changed since the original launch. Within weeks of the original RCR's 2012 release, updates made vehicles faster, added more checkpoints, tutorials, hints screens, and tweaked missions. Those changes made great improvements, but still just scratched the surface. DX is a top-to-bottom remastering of just about everything.
For DX, every single mission's been re-tuned. Vehicles. Weapons. Challenges. Visual Effects. Visual Enhancements. Checkpoints. Difficulty. Challenges. From the game's core to sprinkles on top, such as parking garages and waypoints,...

Stocks Mixed in Choppy Session as Market Awaits Earnings Season
The Street) -- Major U.S. markets closed mixed as investors awaited the earnings season to kick off.
The S&P 500 settled up 0.03% to 1,838.13, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.11% lower at 16,444.76. The Nasdaq slid 0.23% to 4,156.19.
- "The market is becalmed before earnings ... like a sailing ship at sea with no breeze," Lawrence Creatura, portfolio manager at Federated Investors, said in a phone interview. "I think it's reasonable to expect continued growth."
- Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY) tumbled 12.5% after it projected earnings that missed estimates. Family Dollar Stores (FDO) and L Brands (LB) fell 2.2% and 4.1% respectively after cutting profit forecasting. Deep discounting failed to help lift December sales for these retailers. Meanwhile, Macy's (M - Get Report) and Costco (COST) jumped after the former's job cut announcement and the latter's robust same-store sales report. Macy's shares ended 7.7% higher at $55.81, while Costco was up 3.9% to $118.51.
- Alcoa (AA) and World Alumina agreed to pay $384 million to the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission to settle bribery allegations linked to a contract with Bahrain's aluminum smelter. Alcoa shares closed 1.4% lower at $10.68. The company reported an adjusted profit of 4 cents a share on revenue of $5.59 billion. Wall Street forecast earnings of 6 cents a share on $5.34 billion.
- The European Central Bank and Bank of England both left their key interest rates unchanged at current record low levels.

This is the cleanest McDonald's that I have ever been inside. I have seen workers cleaning on multiple occasions. The staff is friendly. The food quality seems better than some of the other McD's that I have been to.
Always get my coffee in the morning very quick and friendly I hope the new Mc Donald's on port royal is just as fast
Not a fan of McDonald's, but the kids like the happy meals and they make for a quick dinner on the go. However, for the few times I have tried, the service is ok, the buns are hard or stale, there is always part of my order incorrect or missing. Since I leverage the drive through it isn't easy to...

They have the worst attitudes in the drive thru and my order is always (yes always) wrong. 9 times out of 10 I'm asked to pull forward to wait. I emailed corporate this last time as I cannot get my head around why this location is consistently bad.
Don't leave before checking your order. Always make sure you have everything. Make sure it is actually hot. Make sure to sip your drink cuz they don't like to keep check on their carbination levels in the pop.
Our Hot Fudge Sundaes were made with just one very small squirt of hot fudge. This was quite a disappointment; the sundaes used to have more hot fudge than that.
They never get our food right and I almost always have to wait for food. I've been to countless Mcdonald's and know what to expect, but this one leaves a lot to be desired. The food is affordable is about the only thing going for this location. Not sure where the long waits are coming from. They either don't hire... More
You know what to expect at McDonalds. The Spring Hill McDonalds proveds a clean restaurant, friendly service, fast service times and typical McDonalds food. Easy to get in and out of. Affordable value. Good play area.

Rancho Nueva Flandria
Rancho Nueva Flandria was a Mexican land grant in present day Yolo County, California given in 1844 by Governor Manuel Micheltorena to Jan Lows de Swart (John Schwartz).[1] The name means "New Flanders" in honor of Swart's native country. The grant extended along the west bank of the Sacramento River, from present day Bryte south to Merritt Island, and encompassed present day West Sacramento.[2] The land claim was rejected as fraudulent in 1857.
Jan Lows de Swart (1849), born in Flanders, arrived at Sutter's Fort with the Bartleson-Bidwell Party in 1841. Swart, who came to be known as John Schwartz, was granted three square leagues - an area of land one mile wide and twenty miles long. Shortly after settling there, Jan, with the help of his brother George Swart, established a salmon fishery along the Sacramento River. They also engaged in raising livestock and cultivating vegetables.[3]
In 1846, James McDowell bought 600 acres (2.4 km2) of Rancho Nueva Flandria from Jan Swart. In May 1849, James McDowell was shot and killed in a barroom brawl. William W. Warner bought 4,333 acres (17.5 km2). Jan Swart died in 1849 and his brother George Swart eventually lost title to Rancho Nueva Flandria.
With the cession of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War, the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo provided that the land grants would be honored.

Grant Burge 10 Year Old Tawny Port |
$30.99 $27.89 as part of a mixed case Sorry, presently out. ETA pending. |
Barossa Valley, South Australia |
James Halliday
"90 pts ... The touches of red point to its youth, but there is plenty of Christmas cake/spice to enjoy, and the finish is pleasingly dry thanks to its rancio." Winemaker's Notes
"The Grant Burge 10 Year Old Tawny is a richly flavoured wine showing a tawny colour with tinges of red. Complex rancio characters show through on the bouquet, together with some fresh fruit characters and excellent integration of spirit. The palate is sweet and mellow but finishes quite dry and shows a harmonious balance of developed fruit characters and oak tannins." Technical Notes
"The Tawny Material is assessed and reblended into a solera-based system, which will enable us to consistently release wines of high quality. Only a strictly limited quantity of 10 Year Old Tawny will be drawn from the solera for bottling each year, and the barrels will be topped up with selected younger wine." 500 ml; 19.5% alc. |

This recipe for wedge salad crostinis came to me in a dream. Before you leave because I sound like a complete freak, let me explain. So, you probably need a bit of back story. I've been watching this ridiculously sad show on ID (it's a real channel) called Disappeared. Basically, it's all about people who vanish without a trace. Yup, very depressing right? For some reason, I'm addicted to it even though it scares the bejesus out of me and I have horrid nightmares every night. I know, I'm not well. ANYWAY. So, two nights ago I watched two episodes after I got home from a long day at the winery. That coupled with one (read two) glasses of red wine led to the most bizarre dream I've ever had. My husband and I were in some prehistoric place near a beach. Like, there were a ton of rocks and the restaurant we were dining in had canvas over it to shield it from the elements? I know. So, we were eating and I was just very unimpressed with the menu. So, I said out loud "This food isn't that great. I'm not impressed." Well, the chef heard me and was a bit irate. Can I also say that the chef looked like José Andres? Well, this chef had never heard criticism before because he basically told me he was going to kill me. It was this giant production and he had planned my execution day. Well, for some reason, him and I were walking on the beach and I just decided to tell him how I felt. I told him the reason his food wasn't that great was because it was boring. A boring wedge salad with dressing, blech. So then I gave him some advice. Change it up and get new customers. How did I suggest he change it up, you ask? By turning his beloved wedge salad into a bite size crostini. I couldn't even make that up if I tried. That is what my brain conjured up while I was deep in my REM sleep. A murderous chef who wanted to kill me. Safe to say, my life was spared and I was awoken a few minutes later. I usually only remember like 75% of my dreams but this one was so vivid I remembered every last detail, including how I made this infamous wedge salad crostini. So, clearly, I ran to the store yesterday morning, bought the ingredients and made this before I went to work. I was 100% hesitant because, well, it was a weird a** dream. So, I took a giant bite and just DIED. I mean, what's not to love? It's an amazing wedge salad on a crispy crouton! I gobbled three more down before I offered some to my husband. Honestly, these are incredible. Each bite is bursting with amazing tomato, bacon and blue cheese flavor. I'm so glad a crazed murderous chef gave me the inspiration. You are now free to judge/leave/laugh at my expense.Yields 8 crostinis. Dressing makes 1/2 cup. For the salad:

Mayhem # 2991473
About MeIVE ALWAYS BEEN INVOLVED IN MODELING. PREFER CLASSY BUT DO NUDES. I have many other photos that are not on site that i can show you if you are interested. I travel all over the country and will travel for work no problem. Compensation can be negotiated. Ive done some lingerie and dominatrix type looking stuff but must request first. I will be posting more photos up soon. I recently colored my hair black for a photo shoot. I am versatile to wear my hair in different styles and hair color. I will consider changing color or style for the right shoot.
Paid Work: Unless I have previously worked with you or we have discussed otherwise I will not do TFP or TFCD work for nude, fetish, or erotic shoots. Do not think this means you can act in a non-professional way towards me. I require pay for these shoots because they can be physically and emotionally exhausting and require a serious photographer to do efficiently and effectively. I will not agree to shoot nudes with just any photographer. You must have a strong portfolio of other nude work and have a specific concept in mind. Rates: I start artistic nude shoots at $30 per hour. My rates are very negotiable. Let's talk about it. Credits2991473

We had a most excellent trip throughout Vietnam & did two of our hotel bookings on the internet with Tun Travel prior to arrival from the USA. Their website & assistance was much appreciated from the other side of the world with some unknown variables from our end. The staff was very helpful & accommodating. I called them a couple of times when we encountered problems or surprises from within Vietnam & they handled things efficiently.

Portland Trail Blazers Power Rankings - 2014-15
Power Ranking | ||||
Week 18 | 39-19 | 7 | Do the Blazers actually want to see OKC in the playoffs? On top of wresting control of the Northwest Division from the injury-hit Thunder, Portland would appear to have the karma edge in this matchup now, having rallied from late 13-point deficits against the Thunder in the last two months. | |
Week 17 | 36-19 | 10 | The Blazers, No. 30 in the league in bench scoring each of the last two seasons, had only moved up to No. 28 before trading for Arron Afflalo. TiVo alert: Damian Lillard and Russell Westbrook square off Friday night on ESPN; both scored 40 and flirted with triple-doubles last time they dueled Dec. 23. | |
Week 16 | 36-17 | 10 | The Blazers have parlayed an unexpected jump into the top five defensively and OKC's injuries into an eight-game lead in the Northwest Division. So Portland can spend the next two months focusing on seeding ... and trying to get the slumping Nicolas Batum healthy. (Kevin Pelton, ESPN Insider) | |
Week 15 | 35-17 | 9 | The triumphant return of Robin Lopez in an eventual home rout of Phoenix seemed to signal that the Blazers were back, nudging their record to 21-6 with Lopez in the lineup and 13-10 without him. But the way they rebounded Sunday night in Houston, after what happened in Dallas, was even bigger. | |
Week 14 | 32-16 | 10 | Despite LaMarcus Aldridge's playing-hurt heroics, Portland has gone 2-8 since its 30-8 start and has tumbled to 11th in offensive efficiency. Imagine where the Blazers would be if they didn't have a league-leading 14 wins this season when trailing at some stage in the fourth quarter. | |
Week 13 | 32-13 | 7 | Given everything they've been through with the likes of Bill Walton, Sam Bowie, Greg Oden and Brandon Roy, Blazermaniacs understandably see LaMarcus Aldridge as a hero for delaying thumb surgery and playing on. This helps, too: LA is one of just three players averaging 20-and-10 this season. | |
Week 12 | 30-11 | 4 | Only three NBA teams on this MLK Day awoke with 30 wins. And the Blazers were one of them. That doesn't guarantee you anything -- most definitely not in the West -- but their first half overall has been too promising to treat the season's first three-game skid as a crisis. You saw who they played, right? | |
Week 11 | 30-8 | 3 | Question: Do we dock Portland points because a league-high 21 of its 30 wins have been recorded against sub-.500 teams? Answer: Can't dock too many when the Blazers are 21-2 against losing teams and Golden State is 19-1. Especially when you factor in the Blazers' injuries along the front line. | |
Week 10 | 26-8 | 4 | Saturday night's home L to Atlanta snuffed out any Portland hopes of ascending to No. 1. The consolation: Damian Lillard begins the week ranked sixth in the whole league in win shares at 5.8, behind only James Harden (7.0), Anthony Davis (6.7), Chris Paul (6.3), Jimmy Butler (6.1) and Steph Curry (6.0). | |
Week 9 | 25-7 | 3 | Remember when Damian Lillard supposedly started the season in a funk? We can't, either. Lillard suddenly leads the league in scoring in the fourth quarter and overtime with an average of 7.4 points, which has helped hike Portland to a robust plus-9 when you subtract home losses from road wins. | |
Week 8 | 22-6 | 3 | The Blazers, rather remarkably, can make the case that they've actually trumped last season's 18-4 start with this one. And if the Thomas Robinson who showed up against Milwaukee can keep filling in like that for Robin Lopez, Portland might survive its first serious injury for some time just fine. | |
Week 7 | 18-6 | 6 | Guess we keep saying it because we frankly didn't expect it: Portland continues to hang with Golden State, Memphis, San Antonio and Chicago in that exclusive club of teams in the top 10 of both offensive and defensive efficiency. Which holds true even after last Wednesday's demoralizing loss in Sota. | |
Week 6 | 16-4 | 5 | Can we get away with asking whether the finding-ways-to-win Blazers were actually the attraction when LeBron decided to spend a chunk of his off night in New York sitting courtside at MSG for Portland-at-Knicks? Or are we forced to concede it was merely Melo whom he came to see? | |
Week 5 | 13-4 | 5 | Home L's to the Dubs and Griz dull the shine of Portland's opening month slightly, but they are still in a pretty good place considering the schedule, as promised, is about to get road heavy. Golden State, Memphis, Toronto and these Blazers remain the only teams in the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. | |
Week 4 | 10-3 | 5 | No team in the West has played fewer road games to date than the Blazers' four, so a travel-heavy December should tell us a lot. Yet it's tough to nitpick Portland too much when it sports the league's longest active win streak as well as a top-seven defense to complement its top-three offense. | |
Week 3 | 7-3 | 5 | Of all the crazy scores we saw in what turned out to be Blowout Week, let's make sure we note that Portland's 84-50 halftime lead over Denver launched the madness. I'd guess that the Blazers, mind you, are undoubtedly prouder of their top-10 D and exceeding-expectations bench crew. | |
Week 2 | 4-3 | 9 | Is it a tad too soon to be referencing average point margin in two of our first nine comments? Probably. The Blazers nonetheless catch the eye with a reading of plus-7.9, which trails only Toronto, Houston and Golden State. They'll obviously breathe easier, though, when they hear Nic Batum's knee is OK. | |
Week 1 | 1-2 | 13 | Had to go back and double-check it when someone asked if I remembered that the Blazers jumped out to a 22-4 start last season. And now they'll need a freakish 21-2 surge to match that after a bumpy Halloween weekend and Damian Lillard's unexpectedly s-l-o-w start. Dame's really shooting .268 from the field? | |
Preseason | 54-28 | 7 | There's a reason why you've heard so many reminders lately about how four Portland starters played 82 games last season. The implication is there's no way it can happen again. Which is why the Blazers, some pundits say, are at risk for a fall ... no matter how much praise LaMarcus Aldridge has been getting. | |
Training Camp | 54-28 | 8 | Knowing LaMarcus Aldridge intends to re-sign in the summer for the long term has to give the Blazers great comfort. In the short term, though, great challenges await, given the questions that remain about the Blazers' bench and the stiff competition everywhere you look in the West. |
