Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down: A Survival Guide to the Apocalypseby Forrest Griffin
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Do you really need to buy this book? You gotta ask yourself one question: Are you going to be ready when the sh*t goes down? Here is a quick checklist:
1. Have you dug up your wife's rose garden and built a fallout shelter, equipped with a prison where you can lock up annoying family members?
2. Have you mapped out an escape route to your safe zone?
3. Is there a vehicle of death sitting in your garage?
4. Have you filled your go bag with all the needed instruments, including waterproof matches, postapocalyptic goggles, and at least one sexual party favor?
5. Have you learned how to milk various types of animals, including a giraffe?
As you can see, you need this book more than you even know. Without it, you're roadkill. Lucky for you, Forrest Griffin is the perfect apocalyptic chaperon. When he was in the womb, his mother had visions that the world would soon crumble, and Forrest would be the messiah of all mankind. He learned of these "visions" at the age of ten, and although they led him to believe that his mom had just been watching Mad Max and eating bad Mexican food, nevertheless he began his postapocalyptic training—a part of which involved his becoming a proud member of the Webelos, which is just one step below Boy Scout. And you know what the Boy Scout motto is. (Well, I hope you do, because Forrest doesn't have a clue). Another part involved hoarding ketchup packets, which he sucked down in the darkness of his room while listening to Nine Inch Nails. Hey, don't judge . . . hoarders are survivors. Just look at squirrels, they have been around longer than sharks.
If you want to survive the end of the world, and then avoid ending up in a government holding pen suffering from a bunch of diseases and listening to crying babies, you've got some skills to master. But don't worry—Forrest has you covered. From spotting the signs of the global downfall, to alienating your loved ones now so they don't come looking for you after, to hot-wiring a car to starting a religion in your own image, he provides you with all the hot knowledge you need to survive the downfall of civilization. Simply put, this is the most important book about the apocalypse that you will ever read by a UFC fighter from Georgia.
Griffin and Krauss follow up their "New York Times" bestseller "Got Fight" with this hilarious and timely guide to surviving the coming apocalypse.
Ultimate Fighter champ Forrest Griffin and Erich Krauss, who previously brought you the New York Times bestseller Got Fight, now offer a hilarious and very timely guide to surviving the coming apocalypse. Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down provides everything an aspiring Mad Max needs to know about post-apocalyptic living. Since its coming soon anyway, we might as well all Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down.
About the Author
Forrest Griffin is a top-ranked light-heavyweight mixed martial artist, winner of the first season of The Ultimate Fighterin 2005, and one of the UFC's most beloved fighters. He's a political science graduate from the University of Georgia and a former police officer, and can grow an awfully full set of muttonchops. Down, ladies; Forrest and his main squeeze, Jaime, live in Las Vegas.

Respond to Review of Sage Organic Vegan Bistro and KindKreme
by brandalock
Review: I live in Culver City and was SO excited when Sage opened up. I have been back here at least six times, trying to give this restaurant another chance and I have to say I always walk away a little unimpressed (which KILLS me to say because I always want to support Vegan restaurants as much as possible so I hope they can improve) The fish tacos aren't too bad, and some of their dinner entrees are ok too, but nothing I am over the moon for. Also, their beer selection is a bit dull at best AND they do not provide ABVs which I think is very irresponsible. The worst thing is EVERY time I have been to Sage the beer I order is ALWAYS out, without fail. It has actual become a joke between my husband and I every time we go to try to give this place another chance. Lastly the service is pretty poor. The waiters seem very uniformed about the food they are serving and they are pretty slow. I hope Sage can get their act together since the space is so cool and could be such a great place to make as a part of our vegan regular rotation.

Superman-Wonder Woman kiss sparks sales
"Most of our regulars commented that they were going to check it out," said All-Star's Wyll Greenewood.
"Justice League" is All-Star's best-selling comic each month, owing to the success of DC's "New 52" reboot. Greenewood said he thinks readers should take a look at a previous take on the Superman-Wonder Woman romance.
"I would go back to 'Kingdom Come,'" Greenewood said. That series, by Mark Waid and Alex Ross, is set in an alternate future, and featured a Superman-Wonder Woman romance after the Man of Steel returned from retirement to face a new breed of violent superheroes.
"That kind of thing stands out far more than a brief soiree at the end of an issue," Greenewood said.
Second Chance Books, 3909 N MacArthur in Warr Acres, reported the book was a near-immediate sellout.
Karyn Dougharty, merchandiser and inventory control at Second Chance Books, said the issue explored tension among the superhero team, leading to Superman and Wonder Woman's romantic interlude.
"I think it's a good idea," she said. "I think it's going to bring an interesting aspect to the book."
"Justice League" has been one of Second Chance's best-selling titles since the "New 52" reboot last year. A second printing of "Justice League" No. 12, with a new Jim Lee cover, is set for a Sept. 26 release.

Vintage Singer Sewing Machines
When it comes to Singer, even avid sewing-machine collectors tend not to mince their words. "They were not great innovators," says Harry Berzack, who owns about 500 sewing machines of various makes and models. But one thing everyone agrees on was Singer's unprecedented ability to get its machines into the hands of customers. "They were unbelievable marketers," Berzack says.
That may be why collectors of antique and vintage sewing machines have so much fun collecting Singers—there are a lot of models to choose from. One of the earliest was the Turtleback from 1856, which was only in production for a few years but paved the way for Singer's New Family machine, which was introduced in the 1860s before being renamed the Singer Model 12. The machine came in hand-crank and treadle versions, and featured decorative gold details on its jet-black body.
An Improved Family machine followed in 1879. This machine is considered a breakthrough because of its oscillating shuttle, but the next year an even more significant development occurred—Singer put an Edison electric motor in one of its machines, a foreshadowing of things to come.
By 1890, Singer had a staggering 80 percent of the world sewing-machine market, and by 1891, that early Edison prototype was being offered to the public. Other models from this era (there were 40 at the turn of the century) include the Singer 48 K, which was manufactured at the company's plant in Kilbowie, Scotland (the factory would be renamed Clydebank).
The Singer 66 is also of this vintage. It was introduced in 1900 (its portable cousin, the 99, arrived around 1920) and remained in production until the 1950s, which makes this probably the most ubiquitous Singer model available. Another Singer machine that's popular with collectors (as well as seamstresses and tailors, for that matter) is the Featherweight, which was introduced in 1933 at the Chicago World's Fair.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
Simply put - One of the most promising young talents in all of Reggae music, Dutch star Maikal X, is about to make his first contribution to the betterment of Reggae shelves around the world by dropping what has to be one of the most anticipated debut albums of the year, 'Genesis'. Over the past couple of years or so, and particularly within the last year, Maikal X has established his name as one of the strongest singers in the game and in doing so has made this project a really big deal for fans.
'Genesis' comes via the same Rock 'N Vibes imprint which listeners should know from having previously put Ziggi Recado on the map and if that was any indication, this one should be big. The album features previous grand hits such as Best In You, Warning and Bear With Me and also potentially mouth watering combinations alongside Luciano, Peetah Morgan and Hawaiian songstress, Irie Love.
Do a good thing for yourself and get your hands on what is sure to be a big scorer in Maikal X's 'Genesis' album from Rock 'N Vibes, starting June 25.

DEFINITION of 'Restaurant Performance Index - RPI'
A monthly index tracking the performance of the restaurant industry. The Restaurant Performance Index (RPI) is calculated based on answers given in response to a survey sent out to restaurateurs nationwide each month. The survey gauges answers in key areas such as same-store sales, traffic, labor, CAPEX, and others.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Restaurant Performance Index - RPI'
The index is divided into two main components: a "current situation index" and an "expectations index". The current situation index data is based on current or recent indicators during the reference month, while the expectations index is based on forward-looking indicators such as how much capital the restaurant plans to use in the next six months. The RPI is published at the end of each month.

Julius C is a band, not a guy. Just when you thought unsigned rock acts only played for beer money, studio time or gas for their vans, these four curly-haired hipsters come along and show us they care about more than beard-grooming and ironic T-shirts. September 1 kicked off a 30-shows-in-30-days jaunt all around New York City to benefit Powerhouse, a program for homeless pregnant and parenting teen moms. And when you throw in a video featuring dancing gorillas and a catchy-as-hell power pop tune called "Don't Want Anybody", you might even forget that these guys are rocking out for a good cause.

Container Queries: Once More Unto the Breach
Media queries have been the go-to tool in building responsive sites, allowing us to resize and recombine modules to suit multiple contexts, layouts, and viewports. But relying on fixed viewport sizes can quickly twist stylesheets into Gordian knots. We still need a future-friendly way to manage responsive CSS. Mat Marquis explores the problem and the progress toward the solution—and issues a rallying call.
Create a Content Compass
Content projects need a sense of direction: something to help you and your team provide the right content to the right people at the right time. Enter the content compass—centered on your strategy and supported by your messaging—to keep your content efforts on track. In this excerpt from Chapter 11 of The Content Strategy Toolkit, Meghan Casey explains her methodology for developing a core strategy statement and messaging framework.
Issue № 422
The Homepage Exception
Structured, automatic systems are great at managing content efficiently—but not so great at accommodating human changes in that content. On the other hand, free-for-all WYSIWYGs lead to inconsistency and breakdowns. Stakeholders and content administrators need flexibility and control, especially where the all-important homepage is concerned. What's a website to do? Johanna Bates suggests embracing a people-friendly homepage solution within our robot-driven architectures.
Understanding the Emotional Response
Validating emotions isn't a glorified psychological process; part of our work is to hear our colleagues and clients out. Kelsey Lynn Lundberg shows us how we can identify the underlying needs—security, freedom, identity, worth—that drive emotional responses, and how to translate those needs into productive discussions to keep our teams moving forward.
Issue № 421
Resetting Agency Culture
When we prioritize billable hours over people, our work environments can take a turn for the tense. Some agencies try to combat low morale with foosball and fancy perks, but what really matters is investing in people: fostering a workplace that supports dialogue, collaboration, and professional development. From onboarding new hires to ongoing engagement, Justin Dauer shares some starting points for a healthy office dynamic and confident, happy employees.
Crafting a Design Persona
Every product has a personality—but is yours deliberately designed? Meg Dickey-Kurdziolek shows you how Weather Underground solved its personality problems by creating a design persona, and teaches you collaborative methods for starting a personality adjustment in your company.
Issue № 420
Meta-Moments: Thoughtfulness by Design
Does the internet ever stop you in your tracks? Does it sometimes make you pause and think about what you're doing? Andrew Grimes calls such moments meta-moments. He walks us through why meta-moments are occasionally necessary and how we might build them into the experiences we design.
Approaching Content Strategy for Personalized Websites
Experience management systems are making it easier than ever to customize content for your visitors—but are you using your newfound personalizing powers for good (or for creepy)? Colin Eagan shows that personalization can be done, thoughtfully, using the same tools you would apply to any content strategy conundrum: by asking why, being deliberate, and putting users first.
Issue № 419
Building Nonlinear Narratives for the Web
The web operates in ways that can conflict with our traditional view of what a "story" is. Content is chunked, mixed, and spread across channels, devices, and formats. How do we understand story lines, characters, interactions, and the role of the audience, given this information sprawl? Cue nonlinear narratives—Senongo Akpem guides us past basic "scrolly-telling" to immersive, sometimes surprising experiences.
Do Androids Dream in Free Verse?
From ATMs to Siri to the button text in an application user interface, we "talk" to our tech—and our tech talks back. Often this exchange is purely transactional, but newer technologies have renegotiated this relationship. Joscelin Cooper reflects on how we can design successful human-machine conversations that are neither cloying nor overly mechanical.
Issue № 418
What Really Matters: Focusing on Top Tasks
Every piece of web content is important—or so every stakeholder insists. But what happens when dozens, even hundreds, of different tasks battle for space on your homepage and in your navigation? It's time to make some hard choices about what does and doesn't belong. Gerry McGovern demonstrates how to zero in on the tasks that matter most to your users.
Standardization and the Open Web
How do web standards become, well, standard? Although they're often formalized through official standards-making organizations, they can also emerge through popular practice among the developer community. If both sides don't work together, we risk delaying implementation, stifling creativity, and losing ground to politics and paralysis. Jory Burson sheds light on the historical underpinnings of web standardization processes—and what that means for the future of the open web.
Issue № 417
Initiation to Code
The best person to mentor junior developers turns out to be: you. Mentoring can be a powerful tool for guiding and nurturing new hires, but it also benefits you—and your organization—by encouraging collaboration and curiosity in your everyday work. Alice Mottola offers guidance (and a little agile structure) for approaching the mentoring process—and shows how it can build better code and better engineers.
Let Links Be Links
The notion of the web as an application platform has never been more popular. Single-page frameworks like Ember and Angular make it easy to create complex applications that offer richer, more robust experiences than traditional websites can. But this benefit comes at a cost. Ross Penman tells us what we can do about it.
Issue № 416
80/20 Practitioners Make Better Communicators
Approaches that are either too general or too specific can easily overwhelm practitioners—and derail budgets. Fresh from recent experiences with two large-scale redesigns, Katie Kovalcin suggests that flexibility and open communication can transform all team members into what she calls "80/20 practitioners," creating a more effective balance of time and resources.
Pluralization for JavaScript
Getting plurals right in localization is a tricky prospect—each language has its own rules, and exceptions within those rules. How can we scale our websites and apps to respond to our global audience? Tingan Ho shows us how MessageFormat lessens some common pain points in the pluralization process.
Issue № 415
Quantity Queries for CSS
In responsive design, we think a lot about space, especially in the context of screen sizes. But the amount of content or the number of elements is bound to affect space, too, just as unpredictably—and if we don't want our designs to dictate our content, we need new ways to make our design aware of changing content quantities. Heydon Pickering walks us through a new idea for creating style breakpoints for quantities of HTML elements.
Stopping the Infighting About Digital Standards
Organizations that struggle with their digital presence often do so because they haven't established proper governance. But good governance is worth pursuing: clear policies and processes can answer questions, empower teams, and enable web strategies to shine. In this excerpt from Chapter 5 of Managing Chaos, Lisa Welchman explains the importance of digital standards—what they are, why they matter for governance, and how to start documenting them for your stakeholders.
Issue № 414
The Specialist-Generalist Balance
Specialists? Generalists? It's not a question of which is better, but about finding the right mix for your team and your work. Specialists offer valuable expertise, but over-reliance on specialization isn't always good for workflow—too many niches can lead to silos, bottlenecks, and poor communication. Garin Evans recommends that, instead, we build teams that play off the best traits of specialists and generalists, encouraging collaboration and innovation as we go.
A New Way to Listen
Empathy can have an enormous impact on how we work. By learning to better understand others—what they think, how they feel, what guides their decisions and behaviors—we add balance, clarity, and depth to our business practices. In this excerpt from Chapter 4 of Practical Empathy, Indi Young explains how listening intently can lay the groundwork for developing empathy.

Romantic Comedy SHIRIN IN LOVE on VOD & DVD Today
"Shirin in Love" is a romantic comedy about a quirky young Iranian-American who breaks family tradition and falls in love with a mysterious young man. It stars Nazanin Boniadi ("Homeland", "Iron Man 2") Riley Smith ("True Blood", "24"), Maz Jobrani, Marshall Manesh, Amy Madigan and George Wallace, and was produced by Sideshow Releasing and directed by Ramin Niami.
Shirin in Love will be available on On Demand on VOD cable, satellite and telco providers starting July 1st, 2014 such as DirecTV, Dish, AT&T, Verizon, Suddenlink, Charter, Mediacom, and more. Shirin in Love will also be available digitally on iTunes, Vimeo, Amazon Instant, Yekra & many more sites.
You can also visit http://shirininlove.com/ to read more about the film, and instantly stream or download the movie in either the original English version or dubbed in Farsi.
SHIRIN IN LOVE's YOUTUBE TRAILER
"All ages and cultures will be moved after watching this film. It's such a romantic notion that if you follow your heart, and are true to yourself, it leads to ultimate happiness," says Lise Romanoff, Managing Director and CEO of Worldwide Distribution at Vision Films.
Director Ramin Niami adds "Iranian-Americans in the United States are educated, successful and amiable. This is very different from how the media and film usually portray them-as either villains or victims. I wanted to show the light-hearted and fun side of Iranian culture. The film's lead, Shirin, a spirited and empowered woman, searches for her identity and falls in love. Through her and through the lens of romantic comedy, I wanted to show the richness of a community and promote peace and cultural understanding between Iranian and American cultures."
RogerEbert.com critic Godfrey Chesire testifies to the film's charms in his review: "Set among LA's well-heeled Iranian-American community, Ramin Niami's "Shirin in Love" blends tangy romantic comedy and tart social satire into a cinematic cocktail that's pleasingly off-beat, warm-spirited and knowing." Tom Nguyen of EnClave LA adds, "The onscreen chemistry between Boniadi and Smith is undeniable... A truly romantic film."
About the Film:
Shirin (Nazanin Boniadi), an absent-minded young Iranian-American, lives in "Tehrangeles" (the large Iranian community in Los Angeles) with her overbearing mother (Anita Khalatbari) and empathetic father (Marshall Manesh). Despite being engaged for years to a successful Iranian plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills (Maz Jobrani), Shirin finds herself breaking loyalty and tradition when she falls in love with a mysterious young man (Riley Smith) who lives in a lighthouse in Northern California near his mother, a famous novelist (Amy Madigan). As her secret unravels and cultures clash, with the intervention of a would-be screenwriter, who also happens to be a local cop (George Wallace), Shirin discovers what it ultimately means to be true to herself.

Jonathan Ellery
Jonathan Ellery (born 1964) is an English artist and founder of British design studio Browns.
Ellery was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire and raised in Cornwall. His father was an artist and ceramicist and set up a family pottery in Newlyn and Penzance.
Ellery studied Graphic Design at Bournemouth and on graduation moved to London to begin his career as a Graphic Designer. In 1998, following success and Creative Directorship at various companies, Ellery co-founded the design studio Browns.[1]
In 2002 Ellery took over ownership of Browns. It is now run creatively by himself and Claire Warner, combining cultural and commercial commissions. Clients include Channel 4,[2] Hiscox,[3] Bafta and Dries van Noten.[4]
In 2008 Ellery launched Browns Editions, the publishing arm of Browns, producing limited edition, hand numbered titles. The Browns Editions catalogue covers photography, conceptual and fine art books.
Ellery's first notable shift towards balancing design and his work as a solo artist occurred in 2005, with "136 Points of Reference".[5] This took the form of an exhibition held at the Andrew Roth Gallery in New York,[6] and a self-published art title, the first in what is now a series of five. This coupling of exhibition and book continued with "Unrest",[7] a show featuring large-scale brass works and a sound and video piece projecting the numbers 1–87, corresponding to the book "87",[8] and "Constance",[9] a live performance featuring a drummer and a girl undressing, held at The Wapping Project in London. These pieces highlight his attraction to the medium of book art, which plays a central role throughout his art practice.
In 2008 Ellery was nominated for the "Brit Insurance Designs of the Year"[10] and exhibited at the Design Museum in London.[11]
In 2009 Ellery held his fourth solo entitled "Ellery's Theory of Neo-conservative Creationism".[12] It consisted of large scale, machined, solid brass suspended sculptures, sound and moving image. To commemorate the show, a black and white catalogue was also published highlighting artworks that had been machined by Ellery into brass.
The Hen House in 2013 is the most recent body of work by Jonathan Ellery. The notion of sequence and unfolding narrative is at the core of his art, enforcing a distinctive Ellery language that offers each work as one part of a continuous and burgeoning series, strengthened by its succession. The deceptive simplicity of the work is informed by Ellery's awareness of the absurd, a delight in constructing certain orders and exploring the tensions between them. The Hen House includes works in cast iron, aluminium, brass as well as photography. It is accompanied by a limited edition catalogue published by Browns Editions.
Jonathan Ellery lives and works above his studio in Bermondsey, South London.

Delores Walker, age 75, tells the story of a 4-year-old who looked up at her and said, "Are you old?" As his mother gasped, Delores knelt down beside him and said, "Well, yes, I am." He asked, "How come?" To which she replied, "Because I've lived a long time." The little boy smiled and said, "OK."
Charlotte Lankard: Being 'old' is OK
And — IT IS OK! — readers tell me.
Phil Carson says he gets up in the morning, thanks the Lord for a good life and proceeds to have a great day — every day.
Peggy Heller, a petroleum land man, says she is 78 and not only working, but working harder and being busier than she has ever been.
Lea Anderson observes the younger generation appears to be fearful of growing older, and she believes this can cause hopelessness in an already high-pressure existence to succeed and remain "beautiful." She wrote, "Yes, we would prefer lovely, tight, clear skin, BUT some of us would not exchange that for the peace and wisdom of our age!"
Georgiana Stewart and her friend Marge are the classmates who organize their high school reunions. "Though many of us are challenged with health problems and aging, we just keep returning to have that wonderful feeling of seeing old friends again." They will celebrate their 58th this September.

LaFayette on CBS News to Discuss Nonviolence
Center Founder, Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr. was interviewed by CBS News on January 19, MLK Day to discuss his views on nonviolence as our nation honored Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is the 30th year that the MLK Holiday has been recognized.
"Violence," said LaFayette, "is the language of the inarticulate. We need to learn to communicate with each other." His hope is that our country can eventually fulfill Dr. King's dream of "institutionalizing and internationalizing nonviolence," recognizing that we're not there yet.
Dr. LaFayette has spent his life teaching and promoting nonviolence and will be back at URI this June as one of the guest trainers at the Annual International Nonviolence Summer Institute.

1. Re: Artifacts around text when viewing a Jpeg image on a HDTV?station_two Apr 17, 2013 4:41 PM (in response to iRuss)
That's the nature of JPEG compression, even at the highest quality level.
The HD TV obviously magnifies the artifacts.
I know nothing about TV or video, I just avoid the JPEG format at all costs myself, unless someone or something absolutely demands a JPEG from me, in which case I only generate the abomination as the final output file. Try working with PNG files instead—if your intended application permits it.
2. Re: Artifacts around text when viewing a Jpeg image on a HDTV?iRuss Apr 17, 2013 5:15 PM (in response to station_two)
PNG won't work. Jpeg image is want they want and the only format that will work. They run 15 advertising images off a thumb drive. They run a slide show on the HDTV. The images stay up for 15 seconds at a time. Probably not enough time for people in a waiting room to notice the artifacts. Thanks,
3. Re: Artifacts around text when viewing a Jpeg image on a HDTV?the_wine_snob Apr 17, 2013 5:53 PM (in response to station_two)
I agree, and it's why I do not use JPEG, unless the client's needs absolutely dictate it.
I do a lot of Image work (tons of Titles) in PS, that goes to both DVD-Video and BD (Blu-ray Disc), and never, never introduce JPEG into the workflow. Everything that I output is PSD (or maybe a very few PNG's).
However, from the last response from iRuss, PSD will not be an option either.
As a bit of an after thought, perhaps iRuss could produce a Premiere Pro (or Elements) AV file for the SlideShow and Titles, and put an H.264 in an MP4 "wrapper" file on the thumbdrive? Then, a PSD could be used effectively in the video.
Just thinking here,

Utes basketball: Utah coach Larry Krystkowiak detains alleged thief near Huntsman Center for police
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak had quite a morning Saturday. While on his way to his office at the Huntsman Center, Krystkowiak detained a suspicious middle-age man who caught his attention by riding a bicycle and pulling another one near the arena around 7:30 a.m.
"He could have just probably dropped one of the bikes and outrun me on his bike, but he was dumb enough to stop," Krystkowiak said. "Then I began my questioning and I kind of smelled a rat."
After asking Krystkowiak if he planned to call the police, the man then inquired about whether the coach would give chase if he ran.
"I said, 'Yeah. Not only am I going to chase you, but I'm going to tackle you. So why don't you sit down on the sidewalk,'" Krystkowiak related.
The alleged thief complied and waited with the towering 6-foot-9 Krystkowiak until campus officers arrived. Police discovered bolt cutters and five cellphones in a bag the man was carrying.
"It felt kind of good," said Krystkowiak, who didn't have any additional details because he left the scene shortly thereafter to prepare for practice. He hopes to catch up with police Monday.
"I don't know how smart it was," Krystkowiak said. "You never know what a guy has got in his pocket or up his sleeve."
However, Krystkowiak noted that a lot of stolen property in his neighborhood and thefts on campus had him on the lookout a little bit.
"I've always been a little eager to catch somebody so it was good," he said.
Krystkowiak is especially sensitive to bicycle thefts. Back in his playing days he had two custom-made bikes that he used for training stolen out of his garage in Montana.
"So I've always kind of had a hankering to see if I could catch a bike thief," he said.
Krystkowiak shared the experience with his Twitter followers Saturday evening, complete with a Barney Fife reference.
"Yeah. Don't mess with the Utes," he joked after posting the tweets.

So Uganda's president has signed the anti-gay law. And Obama shook his finger and said, "You shouldn't do that." .....and that's it. There will likely be no other reprecussions, because America is helping Uganda fight terrorists in Somalia.
I think we should air-drop condoms, lube, and pamphlets with accurate medical information on human sexuality (oh, sorry, it's called "gay propaganda" now) all over the country, and let the damn President of Uganda try to stop us. What do you think?
Views: 216
Actually, air-dropping food or condoms or information is my solution to most world problems...
Evangelical Christian minister and anti-LGBT hate monger Scott Lively, who has traveled the world urging officials to take action against homosexuality, has long been noted for spurring on the Ugandan authorities who passed this legislation.
Lively's infamy includes founding Abiding Truth Ministries (which the Southern Poverty Law Center regards as a hate group), calling for the criminalization of "the public advocacy of homosexuality", and co-authoring 'The Pink Swastika' which states that "homosexuals [are] the true inventors of Nazism". Lively is directly linked to the new anti-gay legislation in Uganda which made homosexual conduct punishable by a lengthy prison sentence or death. (source)
But there may be one little silver lining.
A prominent Ugandan gay rights group sued Scott Lively in March 2012 under the Alien Tort Statute, which allows non-citizens to file suit in the U.S. for alleged violations of international law. A federal judge ruled in August 2013 that the lawsuit could proceed, rejecting Lively's efforts to dismiss the case and saying systematic persecution on the basis of sexual orientation violates international norms.
(I once briefly engaged Scott Lively in the comments section of MassLive.com, a newspaper in Springfield, Massachusetts where Abiding Truth Ministries is based, shortly after the lawsuit was announced. Lively, a preacher and an attorney, is extremely slick and well-spoken enough to come across as credible to some folks. He is a gifted, professional liar.)
I wonder what sort of reparations would be awarded to the Ugandan litigants if they win. I imagine Scott Lively would have to cough up some serious coin. That assumes a dollar value could be attached to the damages resulting from persuading a foreign government to round up LGBT people for caging or killing.
While we're at it let's mass drop cellphones and such over North Korea.
I'm not sure the aid being cut off is a reaction to just the government. These laws are popularly supported. Uganada is not a deathly poor country or severely under developed. This money is best spent creating schools in Madagascar or Cape Verde. Not in a county where the population votes for the brutal supression of its own people.
Big time sad. :(
"Drop in the bucket" is right. According to these two articles from slate and the BBC, there are 38 African states that criminalize homosexuality even before Uganda joined the club.
Here's another problem, though. Western government threaten to withhold aid from poor countries who mistreat their homosexuals. But western religious groups are always very active in sending missionaries to Africa; and some of those same western missionaries are the ones lobbying for anti-gay laws. So if governments and secular NGOs pull out in protest, that leaves the Africans even more dependent upon church groups, and thus even more open to what the church groups have to say... :(
I can't believe people are doing this. I wish I knew what I could do about it.
There's another article up now about how the evangelical leaders who pushed for this murderous law are now claiming they never supported it.
They even link to a 2009 blog post where Scott Lively brags about the thousands he reached with his anti-gay tour in Uganda.
I hate this. I hate that it was my fellow countrymen who encouraged this--maybe even caused this. I am ashamed and feel like apologizing again for America. My only consolation is that it wasn't my government this time supporting the terror. I am ashamed of my government for its support of colonialism and apartied in Israel/Palestine; at least I know my government wasn't directly behind this travesty in Uganda.
This is a shift for me. I've mentioned before that I wasn't always an LGBT supporter, and that religious-fueled condemnation made it hard for me to condemn even obvious violent acts.
RESOLVED: America should do something about every bad thing that's going on in the world, especially when there's no particular or even tangential benefit to the United States.
And the lube. You're kidding, right? There were no gays before Astroglide?
We are still working on guaranteeing civil rights for American gays. THAT is our first gay-related priority because that is OUR problem and OUR business. We can't right every wrong going on elsewhere in the world.
Fair point. I do wish there was something we could do. Something constructive, though, that would actually help people.
I dunno, I've never tried being gay, with or without astroglide...it seems like it would help?

Event Review: 10 X 10 at Miami Art Museum, May 13

10 X 10 Miami MAM Contemporaries Social
Miami Art Museum, Miami
Thursday, May 13, 2010
Better than: Ben Stiller's Night at the Museum
The Review:
10 x 10 is a concept lecture series featuring ten up and coming local creative minds, who each show and speak on ten projected slides. Now in its fourth year in Miami, the event was held at Miami Art Museum in downtown. Speakers ranging from chef to designer to filmmaker and beyond gave insight and afterthought to past and current projects--sometimes funny, sometimes boring, sometimes brilliant.
The vibe was Moroccan mellow in the museum's auditorium, transformed into a genie's lamp lounge, with carpets, hookahs, and pillows. All of the presentations were interesting, but of particular note were presentations by Lauren "Lolo" Reskin of Sweat Records, Chef (and comedian) Jeremiah Bullfrog, poet Scott Cunningham and industrial designer Tim Ronan.
Lolo, whose resume includes prestigiously appointed positions on arts councils, organic gardening blogs and beyond, gave a great overview of her role as a pioneering indie record shop owner/music promoter, showing some great slides as well. Chef Jeremiah showed a few slides of food and his Air Stream gastropod, and a bunch of slides of the beach and his kids, cracking up the audience with well-placed punch lines.
Other speakers included filmmaker Juan Carlos Zalvidar, Supermarket
Creative guru Michelle Leshem, industrial designer Tim Ronan, fashion
and jewelry designer Nektar de Stagni, architects Adib Cure and Carie
Penabad, artist Jason Hedges, and choreographer Ana Mendez.
Critic's notebook
Personal bias: Though not quite the same, this "young professional" networking event brought back memories of "Jams at MAM" gone by.
By the way: 10 x 10 was founded by Hugo Mijares in Sarasota before he moved it to Miami several years ago.
Random detail: MAM officials assured us that work crews will in fact be breaking ground on the museum's new Bicentennial Park location next year.

Gold Breaks Records...Silver Breaks Banks
Bix Weir
Gold has continued on its decade long bull run and although it has shattered all previous records it continues to be the asset of LAST choice by the majority of investors. For those of you who think gold is "in a bubble" I will challenge you to find 5 people you know who have ANY REAL GOLD that they hold as an investment. I do not mean paper shares of phantom ETF gold bars (like in GLD)…I mean the real thing. Physical ounces of gold in their safe deposit boxes or tucked away in shoe boxes in the back of their closets. Let me save you time… they are VERY hard to find!
If you want to take a chance on REAL wealth, invest in SILVER (read the article by Bix for more insight).
I don't need to do DD ... I don't have any reason to. I have done some DD on the SPDR website, and what I see is compelling evidence that the fund is on the up-and-up. You can have any last words ... after this I don't care to try to defend GLD as an honest fund.
When you buy a gold coin or gold bullion, what tests do you do? How do you eliminate the possibility of tungsten content? Overall, you might want to reconsider the entire sector, if everyone involved is dishonest theives.
Goldbumsnc: you buy routinely ... what do you do to test your coins?
no i was being extreme. the reason they're saying it is to give the banks an avenue to get rid of the tungsten bars. to the eye, these bars will appear to be solid gold of .999 fineness.
they do NOT test the bars (ie they don't split them to see what's in them). they don't test the fineness.
IF they see actual gold and not just paper books, they just look at the engraving for the fineness (no actual checking) and check to make sure it's yellowish. that's the extend of an audit. meaningless.
my point is, you obviously haven't done the DD, yet that doesn't stop you from speaking as tho you have.
And read the report from the auditor, and you will see that every bar checked was pure gold.
I just sold my DZZ. This message board is populated by gold investors, not GLD investors. I don't feel obliged to fully perform DD on GLD, as it is not critical to my investing.
I think the suspicion by the gold bugs is over-the-top. Read the audit and show me the lead. As I keep pointing out this fund has the odds in the house's favor. They don't need to cheat, and it might cost them the people willing to play the game. I think the "no guarantees of fineness" is not saying they can buy lead, and pass it off as gold. Again read the last audit. My recollection is that it was all 0.999 and higher fineness.
you clearly have not read the prospectus.
>>I think the overwhelming evidence is that GLD is a well-designed, audited, and honest ETF
again more ignorance from vm, big surprise. tell me vm, if gld is so well designed and honest, why to they go out of their way to tell people in the prospectus they could hold lead and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. go read it. the specifically state, they do NOT guarantee the fineness of the gold (that means it could by pyrite). they also specifically say they do NOT adhere to the London Good Delivery Standards.
"Gold bars allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of a Basket may not meet the London Good Delivery Standards and, if a Basket is issued against such gold, the Trust may suffer a loss."
" Neither the Trustee nor the Custodian independently confirms the fineness of the gold bars allocated to the Trust in connection with the creation of a Basket."
"The gold bars allocated to the Trust by the Custodian may be different from the reported fineness or weight required by the LBMA's standards for gold bars delivered in settlement of a gold trade, or the London Good Delivery Standards, the standards required by the Trust."
those are just a few quote from the prospectus you have clearly not read.
I like talking to people with different opinions than mine. I don't like when a position is taken that GLD is a complete fraud. There is always a chance that it is, but I think the overwhelming evidence is that GLD is a well-designed, audited, and honest ETF.
If your argument is that gold is not in a bubble because GLD is the primary gold vehicle, and it has no gold, I find that a bit useless.
I shouldn't say that gold is in a bubble. A bubble is usually much more inflated than the current gold prices. I think that gold is overpriced right now. That is just not a very investable opinion, because there is ample evidence that demand is very strong.
I currently have some DZZ, from $10.70 that I will sell today. Yesterday was a $11.20 close, and I was hoping for a $11.50 opportunity (current price $11.11). Prior to this position I had a gold "long" position, and prior to that a DZZ position.
I think at some point gold will pullback to $1000, but it might go to $1300 next, who knows. I think when the economic recovery strengthens, gold will definitely lose its steam.
I love messing with them that is all. I have a proven track record and can take most anything these pukes have. Thanks for the back up!
I think gold is in a bubble. It does not take universal participation for a bubble. It helps but is not necessary. For example quarterbacks could be at bubble prices in the NFL ... a very small, limited business group. A rare stamp can be in a bubble, although only a few collectors might appreciate it.
Further, the gold ETF's are real gold. You claim GLD is a fraud, but I don't see any evidence to back your claim. On the contrary, I see a website with the amounts and list of the gold assets, and twice a year auditing. I see a company which sells new shares in the ETF, and only has one obligation: to buy gold at the proper ratio to back it.
Everyone here claiming that GLD lends its gold is incorrect.
Here is the current accounting:
On this page, you can get a PDF of the list of gold bars:
Further there are other ETF's which own gold. Pretending that all the gold is non-existent, does allow you to claim no one owns gold, but that is an unbelievable argument.
For the most part, I agree with you that GLD is most likely not a scam, but I do worry that thier maybe an equivelent of CDO's or Swaps sold against the funds holdings. The fund is a finacial tool against real gold. Thier is enough gold in the world to fill demand by this ETF. The ETF can have delivery filled from any gold market in the world, it may take a few days to ship but the futures markets still seem liquid and able to meet demand. I posted an article yesterday from China where Vollume was about 700 plus tons in May. I post the London's trading volume was about 24,000,000 ozs a day in May. There is gold out there to be bought! It appears we still have supply and demand!
Forget about hiding your gold and silver... and forget about the paper gold and silver(GLD SLV). imo with the gold/xau ratio of 7( a strong buy area)just invest in SLW and RGLD. Please do your homework though. The miner's, imo are very undervalued but with these two companies they do not do the mining but get the royalties.
---------seven it that time. the time we let them know who we are... ..
all the chinese and east indians i know have gold, indian usually 22k and the chinese 24k in terms of jewlery. that's why they usually hire off duty police officers at their weddings. they unlike americans have learn first hand that government currency are not to be trusted.
