Your Favorite Local Breweries on the East Coast
I like local craft beers. They're made with more love than the larger U.S. breweries like Budweiser and Miller. They're also fresher. I'd rather drink a beer that was made 3 months ago in a brewery an hour away from my house than one that's been sitting on the shelf for a year and shipped from a foreign country.
A lot has been said on SE regarding West Coast beers, but what are your favorite local breweries on the East Coast? What style of beer do you prefer? Where do you like to go for a beer?
Here are a few East Coast Breweries:
New York - Blue Point, Brooklyn, Saranac
New Jersey - Riverhorse, Cricket Hill, Flying Fish
Delaware - Dogfish Head, Iron Hill
Massachusetts - Harpoon, Wachusett
Maryland - Flying Dog

It seems like every year Intel demos a new CPU at CES. Intel's upcoming Haswell chip promises to dramatically lower power consumption with dramatically improved graphics performance. Though the company has been coy about when in 2013 it will release Haswell, we expect to see some Haswell-powered systems either on display at the Intel booth or demoed during its keynote address. Since the lower-power Haswell chips have the potential to allow even thinner designs, Intel is likely to show Ultrabooks based on the new platform.

I agree with Roman, also giant tablets seem to defeat the purpose of a tablet. I'd put my money in to low cost tablets, I love my Nexus 7.
I think that a 16-18″ tablet would be awesome. I'd love to have own to use on the go.

How to Tell if Your Best Friend Likes Your Boyfriend
It can be nerve-wracking and scary to have the lingering suspicion that your best friend likes your boyfriend! Fortunately for you, this article will help you figure out if your friend is crushing on your guy.
1Before you say anything to your friend, watch her closely. More than often will her actions, poses, and facial expressions reveal her hidden secret. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Does she hang out with your boyfriend more than you?
- Does she seem to hover/linger around him and strike up more conversations with him than you?
- Are her eyes dilated when they're focused on him?
- Does she appear nervous and a little giggly around him?
- Has she said anything that may hint that she likes him? (Ex: "Your boyfriend is really cute!")
2When you three are together, watch your friend for any signs of flirting or wanting to flirt. See if she laughs at almost every joke he cracks, giggles and blushes a lot, and/or bats her eyelashes.
- Watch her if she makes any physical contact with him. Is it flirty or just a simple, innocent gesture of friendship?
3Listen to your boyfriend and be alerted if he says anything about how weird your friend is acting around him. Take note of any strange, suspicious behaviors he mentions.
4Be alert when she asks you where your boyfriend will be, if his schedule is full, etc.Ad
We could really use your help!
- If she tries to cut you off from him so she can talk to him then that is a big sign she likes him.
- If she tries to keep you two apart then that's a sign that she might like him.
- If your best friend acts weird or giggles a lot around him, this could also be a sign she likes him.
- Hating on him all the time could just be a way that your best friend tries to hide her feelings. (Warning: this could also mean that your friend just hates your boyfriend.)
- Go and pretend that you and your boyfriend have split up, and if she flirts with him, then she likes him.
- If she's dressing with her favorite clothes, wears makeup, and perfume only when she's around him, it is a sign.
- Ask your best friend what she thinks about your boyfriend.
- Your best friend may be suspicious, so plan it out and think carefully.
- Don't ask your friend straight out if she likes your bf.
- Don't look in your friend's phone to see if she tries to talk to him
- You might hurt her feelings.

Actually, calling a 335i coupe - having only two doors as coupes do - a wagon is an obvious error in typology. As well, mistaking a Bavarian for a Bulgarian is about as accurate as referring to an American as an Argentinian. I will give Ford? credit for being the only one of the shrinking three that did not need its sorry self bailed out by the federal governments of the US and Canada as well as the taxpayers of the State of Michigan and the Province of Ontario. That said, I remain deeply suspicious of any car company that has to engage in de facto bribery to convince consumers to buy its cars!

U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan at 2,194
As of July 1, 2014, at least 2,194 members of the U.S. military had died in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001, according to an Associated Press count.
At least 1,817 military service members have died in Afghanistan as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers.
Outside of Afghanistan, the department reports at least 133 more members of the U.S. military died in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Of those, 11 were the result of hostile action.
The AP count of total OEF casualties outside of Afghanistan is five more than the department's tally.
The Defense Department also counts three military civilian deaths.
Since the start of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, 19,830 U.S. service members have been wounded in hostile action, according to the Defense Department. AP
Man charged in Iran documents case seeks release
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – Federal prosecutors say a former defense contractor engineer charged with trying to ship sensitive military documents to Iran last year had already provided people in the country with information about a U.S. Air Force fighter jet program.
Prosecutors made the assertion in response to a request by Mozaffar Khazaee to be released from prison while he awaits trial.
Prosecutors objected, saying he's a flight risk and a danger to the United States.
Khazaee's attorney says he has no criminal record, is not a flight risk and did not believe any materials he took to Iran involved sensitive information.
Khazaee pleaded not guilty in February to charges of transporting property stolen from companies where he'd worked, including jet engine maker Pratt & Whitney. AP
Malfunction caused Lake Ontario drone crash
The GPS and other systems in an Air Force drone failed multiple times during a routine training mission in upstate New York, causing the unmanned aircraft to crash into Lake Ontario in November, according to an investigation whose results were released Tuesday.
The MQ-9 Reaper crashed about 35 miles southwest of Fort Drum, N.Y., where it had taken off. Nobody was injured in the crash, although the drone was destroyed upon impact. The crew was training the drone for intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance missions, according to a report put together by an Air Force accident investigation board.
The report says the drone had been properly maintained and inspected prior to its flight, but there were multiple failures with its GPS and a navigation system after about two hours of flight. While the drone's ground-based air crew tried to return the Reaper to base, the drone lost its connectivity with them and switched to autopilot to return to base on its own on a path that avoids populated areas and potential obstructions, the report said.
While another air crew tried to establish a link with the drone, another GPS and inertial guidance system error occurred. Seconds later, the drone began an automated right turn that inverted it and eventually led to an unrecoverable flat spin, the report says. Soon after, the Reaper crashed into the New York portion of Lake Ontario. It took about 15 minutes from the time the first GPS error was noted until the Reaper crashed. The Air Force valued the loss at about $10.6 million.
Most of the drone's parts were not recovered and pieces of it later washed ashore about 12 miles east of where it crashed.
The drone and its air crew were assigned to the Syracuse-based 17 4th Attack Wing at Hancock Field Air National Guard Base, New York.
The accident investigation board is based at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, which is home to Air Combat Command. AP
GAO denies protest over Coast Guard patrol cutters
The Government Accountability Office has denied a protest from two Mississippi shipbuilders over the award of design contracts for U.S. Coast Guard offshore patrol cutters.
VT Halter Marine and Ingalls Shipbuilding protested the February award of contracts to Maine-based Bath Iron Works Corp., Fla.,-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group Inc. and Louisiana-based Bollinger Shipyards Lockport LLC.
Each of the three companies received a preliminary and contract design award worth about $22 million. There are plans for 25 of the ships, which could be worth more than $11 billion in contracts.
In a 21-page report made public Monday, the GAO said Ingalls and VT Halter Marine did not demonstrate that the selection process was unequitable and found no merit to their challenges based on technical or past performance evaluations.
Ingalls chose to protest after receiving a debriefing of the offshore patrol cutter evaluation in February, Ingalls spokesman Bill Glenn said at that time.
Ingalls Shipbuilding offered the Coast Guard a strong, fully compliant proposal to provide a very capable, cost effective offshore patrol cutter design and believe our protest has merit, he said. AP
Philippines to get 1st new fighter jets next year
The Philippine president said July 1 his country's ill-equipped military will receive its first new fighter jets in nearly a decade next year to help defend the country's territory.
President Benigno Aquino III said two of 12 FA-50 multi-purpose fighters will be delivered by their South Korean manufacturer next year and the rest are expected to follow in the next three years. The Philippines has scrambled to modernize its military, one of Asia's weakest, amid increasingly tense territorial disputes with China in the South China Sea.
Aquino said the Philippines has had no fighter jets for territorial defense since a fleet of F-5 jets was decommissioned in 2005. The anemic air force is being strengthened with the purchase of new assault helicopters, long-range patrol aircraft and C130 cargo planes, he said.
It's saddening to think about the state of the air force that we inherited: Once regarded as among Asia's strongest, the air force seemed to have failed to take off from decades of anomalies, abuse and neglect, Aquino said in a speech at Clark freeport north of Manila marking the anniversary of the Philippine air force.
Aquino said with the acquisition of the FA-50s, we can again defend our territory in a more effective way.
The Philippine military signed a contract with Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. in March to buy 12 FA-50s for 18.9 billion pesos ($420 million), the biggest deal so far under a military modernization program that has been repeatedly stalled by a lack of funds. AP
Japan's Cabinet approves larger military role
Japan has allowed its military to use force in some situations to defend other nations, in one of the biggest changes to its security policy since World War II.
The Cabinet July 1 eased Japan's longstanding ban on the right to exercise what is known as collective self-defense.
Previous governments have said that Japan's war-renouncing constitution limits the use of force to defending Japan.
The Cabinet isn't changing the constitution, but the government will now be able to authorize greater military engagement under a new interpretation of the charter. AP

This is 100% counter productive.
To teach balance and everything else, start with proper punching technique. DRILL that into his mind and body. Teach him to throw endless combinations without moving his feet, other than to shift his weight. No "stepping" with punches. That teaches bad habits; that is how you end up with a guy that gets his feet too far apart.
Once he has mastered that proper punching technique, the rest comes easy. He'll catch onto the movement right away, and keep on balance because he'll understand what he is trying to accomplish, why his feet need to be in a certain place. It will also help you to teach this down the line, how to move your weight to avoid punches while always being in a spot to punch back effectively.
You'll find, over time working with young guys, that they hit a turning point in their ability to move well. You'll see 11, 12, 13 years olds that are awkward and sluggish in their footwork become very fluent right around the 14th birthday. Why, I don't know (I'm ignorant of physiology!!) but this happens an awful lot. You can't let it mess with your mind or your approach. Trust in the foundation you set.
I cannot emphasize how essential it is to teach proper punching right out the gate. If you want to create a truly accomplished fighter, one that molds offense and defense, you'll start there. This becomes harder later on, when you are trying to teach 20 kids a night and trying to give each the attention he or she deserves. There is a lot of frustration there, if you care about what you are doing, and you'll develope ways to do your best.
By far the best post in this thread. Are you a coach?

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Sept. 7) - The New Mexico State women's golf team kicks off its 2012-13 schedule on Monday, with the Colonel Bill Wollenberg's Ptarmigan Ram Classic hosted by Colorado State University.
The two-day tournament will be played Sept. 10-11 on the par 72, 6,302-yard Ptarmigan Country Club golf course in Fort Collins, Colo. The tournament will consist of three 18-hole rounds. The first two rounds will be played on Monday with a shotgun start beginning at 8:30 a.m. (MT). The final round will be played on Tuesday.
The Aggies will be part of a 17-team field that includes I-10 rival Texas-El Paso and in-state rival New Mexico. Also in the field are a couple of teams that finished last season in the Golfweek top 20 rankings; Colorado, who finished 11th, and Baylor, who finished 17th.
The tournament should also give NM State a good indication as to where they stand in the Western Athletic Conference as there will be four other WAC teams in the field. Joining the Aggies from the WAC are Nevada, Fresno State, Idaho and defending WAC champion San Jose State. Rounding off the field is host Colorado State, Illinois, Long Beach State, Louisville, Northern Colorado, Texas Tech, UNLV and Wyoming.
NM State begins a new era in women's golf as this will be the first season since 2005 that head coach Paul Brilliant will not be part of the Aggie golf program. Brilliant retired at the end of the 2011-12 season. The reigns are now handed over to Jackie Booth, who has been the co-head coach of the Aggies, along with Brilliant, for the past five years.
Booth is already starting to make her mark as NM State's head coach with the announcement of the five Aggie golfers which will be participating in the Ram Classic. Booth has chosen a fifth-year senior in Cheryl Lo, a senior in Aileen Meredith, a junior in Amelie Buhl, a sophomore in Laura Barron and a freshman in the two-time defending New Mexico high school state champion Kacey Dalpes. Of the five only Meredith competed in last year's Ram Classic finishing in 73rd with a three-round total score of 237 (80-78-79).
NM State has opened up its schedule with the Ram Classic, which was previously called the Ptarmigan Ram Fall Classic, since the 2008-09 season. The Aggies' best finish in a Ram Classic came in 2009 when they finished tied for 11th. Last year NM State finished 15th out of 19 teams with a three-round total score of 925. UC-Davis won last year's tournament with a total score of 873.
Individually during last year's tournament, the Aggies were led by former NM State golfers Ashley Elias and Demi Mak. Elias finished tied for 33rd with a three-round total score of 226 (72-79-75). Her tournament was highlighted by eight birdies. Mak's tournament was a highlighted by a hole-in-one on the first day of the tournament. She finished right behind Elias with a 227 (73-77-77), tied for 38th.

SHEFFIELD AT WAR (1940-1941) film no: 2881
A documentary film taken in Sheffield during the Second World War, this film includes footage of the severe bomb damage suffered by Sheffield during the Blitz as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth tour of the damaged areas. It also shows a military parade civil defence exercises, including using gas masks, a barrage balloon, the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF), the ARP, and the Home Guard. Additionally there is footage of the Women's Land Army as they work in the countryside.
The film opens with a car which has to stop whilst a farmer herds cows down a country road. When the car arrives, some dignitaries get in. Later they walk through bombed areas of the city. A badly damaged church can be seen in the background. Large crowds of people and photographers have gathered around the King and Queen, who are accompanied by the Mayor and Mayoress. They stop and talk to some of the onlookers, and eventually, the King and Queen become completely surrounded by the crowd. They get back to the car, still talking to people in the crowd waving as they leave.
The film shows bomb damage to all kind of buildings, from terraced houses and shops, 'Newmans', to office buildings and churches. People in the city centre walk near a statue surrounded by the remnants of buildings, some with no roofs, others completely devastated and mangled from the bomb damage. The film shows various bombed buildings, and a wrecked car, with a crane moving some of the mass of rubble. The Royal Escort drives past buildings which are now just mangled steel skeletons. Traffic and pedestrians go about their normal business, and people gather around a shot down aeroplane loaded onto the back of a lorry. Many more people are crowded around another plane that has crashed in the city, and some of the children among them wave at the camera. Parts of the plane, including a wing, are carried away and the main section is hoisted up and set back on its wheels. A third plane that has crashed, with the Nazi cross visible, is also surrounded by a crowd. There is additional footage of more buildings, including a steel bridge, devastated by the bombing.
Much of the damage in Sheffield occurred to domestic property. There is a line of houses along a street which has been completely destroyed. A church is also badly damaged. More buildings are seen with what looks like the spire of St. Peter's Cathedral Church in the background. More damage to a church is shown surrounded by bombed out streets of housing. In amongst all the rubble, an air raid shelter can be seen having survived the bombing. The film moves on again to show a wrecked church with its baptismal font intact. A group of men search for something buried in the rubble. Elsewhere an elderly couple stop and take a peek at some rubble. Old household items have been piled up outside a bombed out former butcher's shop, 'L Palmer', next to a large area of devastation. A group of people stand in front of the rubble as the camera pans around the destroyed buildings, and a group of boys pose for the camera.
More household items of furniture, which have presumably been pulled out of the rubble, stand alongside the road. A wall left standing is held up with pieces of timber, and a car is buried under the fallen bricks of a house. A large steel structure stands mangled by bombing, possibly Bramall Lane Stadium. Among the other bombed buildings there is an upturned bus, and a working bus passes by in the background. The film then shows large areas of damage from a high vantage point, looking out over the rooftops, most of which are now missing.
Next the film features a military parade which is inspected by a high ranking officer. This is most probably George, the Duke of Kent visiting the ATS in Sheffield on 11-12 Jun 1942 (just a couple of months before his death). He is accompanied by the Mayor, and rows of men in civilian clothes who stand at attention in front of a small light aircraft. A group of veteran RAF men also stand in a line. A large workforce stands at attention in a yard in front of some large buildings, which might be hangers at an aircraft station. A group of officers do an inspection. A uniformed women's band, whose members play trumpets and drums, also stand to attention. The lines of men then march off in procession.
Back in the city centre, two members of the ARP (Air Raid Precautions), wave rattles and walk down Barker's Pool in front of City Hall. They pass a line of women in white overalls putting on gas masks. A woman in a gas mask sweeps outside the Gaumont Cinema on Barker's Pool where there is a billboard for George Formby. There is then a gas attack drill as members of the ARP place smoke canisters in the road. School children and other pedestrians wearing their gas masks watch from behind a barrier. A warden stands on the street and rotates his rattle while smoke billows around him. More demonstrations take place, one with an ARP riding past on a bicycle. One of the wardens helps a woman put on her gas mask.
Three ARP wardens are in protective rubber suits and gas masks. They stand on the platform of a tram. People mill around the city centre, all in their gas masks, and some in full rubber suits. Another ARP warden in a standard black uniform and white helmet directs the traffic. A woman walks past the camera with a shopping basket and holding the hand of a small girl who wears a gas mask. Trams pass by through the smoke with people getting on and off in their masks.
A man rings a bell, and after the city centre has been cleared, members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) set up a barrage balloon. Women inside a metal cage, on a truck, pose for the camera as they operate the winch that controls the cables attached to the balloon. Above them the large zeppelin shaped balloon hovers, tethered to the ground. They raise the balloon by pulling on the guide cables which they tighten and clean. Some of the women pose for the camera. They also clean the RAF vehicle with the metal cage. While sitting next to a tent beside a balloon, two women make notes. Women in army uniforms watch one of their members paint a 'V' shaped sign on a wall. An army officer talks to a line of the women, and others continue cleaning and repairing the cables and the truck.
In the countryside, a line of women, linked arm-in-arm, walk towards the camera. They have presumably joined the Women's Land Army. The women take off their jackets and are given hoes which they take into a field of vegetables. A woman shows them how to use the hoes, and they proceed to tend the vegetables. The instructor hands one of them a drink which she lets run down her blouse, and they both have a laugh. A bus full of women look out the windows at the camera, before a large group of women, who have disembarked from a row of buses, assemble and pose for the camera. All dressed in overcoats and hoods, they make their way into a field and pick vegetables. They stop to get tea given from a large bucket, and then queue before a table piled up with sandwiches.
Back in Sheffield City Centre, an army band passes. It is followed by a line of trams and tanks turning from the High St. into Fargate past the Yorkshire Penny Bank, and there is a crowd of people who look on. The tanks, one a Hollander II, come to a stop and the Mayor is hoisted onto one them. He is watched by army officers and other dignitaries who inspect the tank. Following this is a parade of the various services (the picture here is quite dark). The film switches back to a field where bundles of hay are out to dry near a new housing development. A farmer takes off on a horse drawn plough.
The next portion of the film features troops on exercise. On top of a tall building in the city centre, while trams pass below, an army officer taps out messages on a Morse code machine. Down below there is a sign for JJ greaves & Sons, Auction Market. Smoke is billowing out from an adjacent building. Another army group, or members of the Home Guard, sit behind a machine gun perched on top of a building. They set up machine guns in buildings overlooking vulnerable areas where the enemy might strike. Fire fighters carry out a demonstration of putting out fire outside the offices of W. Grayson and Co., Chartered Accountants, on a cobbled street. They use a pump and buckets before two fire engines arrive. Members of the Home Guard practice drills with their rifles, with a sergeant holding a machine gun. A group of servicemen with 'FAP' on their helmets carry off an injured person on a stretcher. The Home Guard continue on exercise this time in a mock battle with bayonets attached to their rifles. Here, the film comes to an end.
Sheffield had been hit by bombs dropped by Zeppelin raids during the First World War, in particular on 25th September 1916, when bombs falling in Attercliffe and Burngreave killed 28 people and injured 19. At the beginning of the Second World War anti-aircraft guns had been put in place to try to force the German planes to fly higher, thereby reducing accuracy (which was in any case extremely bad on both sides). By December of 1940 Sheffield had 27 heavy anti-aircraft guns at Shirecliffe, Manor and Brinsworth – there were also guns stationed around the city, see Hunshelf Gun Site(1940), another Willie Thorne film, and the Context for this on anti-aircraft guns.
In addition there were also searchlights, which could dazzle bombers, and 72 balloons, whose cables, as seen in this film, could bring down a plane. But in truth the defences were not up to preventing serious damage. In his chapter on 'Sheffield at War' in Binfield et al (References), Philip Healy provides a detailed account of the bombing raid of December, where the bombs fell and what the damage was. Apparently the raid was codenamed 'Schmelztiegel' (crucible), and consisted of 336 aircraft, out of an allocated 406. They flew from the south up Britain, thereby making it difficult to know what their intended target was.
Reading through the list of places hit that Philip Healy gives, it would probably be easier to list the places not hit then those that were. But among the latter hit on the first raid, at 7.00pm on 12th were: Norton Lees, Gleadless, Abbeydale, Brincliffe Edge, Owlerton, Moorhead, Glossop Road, Park Hill, Millhouses, Sharrow, Broomhill, Crookesmoor, Walkey and Burngreave. More places were hit later on the same night. In the city centre this included the Moor, the High Street, Commercial Street, Haymarket, Exchange Street, and Campo Lane.
Philip Healy goes into more detail: "The fires in the city centre were out of control. Every building in Angel Street was bombed or on fire, King Street was an inferno, and the heat in the C&A building was so intense that the wall buckled. Thus Walsh's Store caught fire from surrounding buildings at 4.30am after the raid was over." (p 244) The strength of the heat is clearly evident in this film which shows a mass of twisted and mangled steel structures. In addition to damage to buildings, the Neepsend gasworks was hit as was Jessop Hospital, and the water supply badly affected. The single worst incident was bombing of the Marple Hotel where only seven of the 77 people sheltering there escaped alive. Over the course of that single night 335 tons of high explosives and 16,452 incendiary canisters had been dropped. Although the anti-aircraft guns had fired off 3,700 rounds, no German planes were shot down. The raid the following night was smaller, hitting other parts of the city, especially the industrial areas, including Brown Bayley, Hadfield's and English Steel.
Neither side used gas as a weapon in the Second World War for fear of retaliation (although large stockpiles of nerve gas were found in Germany when the allies occupied in 1945). However, Churchill also issued a secret memo during the Second World War stating that poison gas should be used if necessary or if it would help end the war sooner by one year.

My father was in a reserved occupation, working for the Callander Cable Company, replacing high tension power cables after the Blitz. We travelled to wherever required, including Sheffield, where there were five of us and my mother. I was the youngest. My father was called up in 1944 and volunteered for the parachute regiment and took part in the largest parachute drop in history 'Operation Varsity' but didn't survive.
We came from a small town in Scotland, and at the finish of his work we returned to Scotland. My Mother always said, the war ended in 1945 and her war had just begun. She was widowed with six children and expecting her seventh. We all followed purposeful careers. I was a Firefighter in Glasgow for thirty one years (about which I jointly authored of a book called Tinderbox Heroes). One brother became a Police Officer, one joined the military, and the eldest became Britain's youngest Station Master at nineteen, when steam trains ruled. So whilst it was difficult times for so many, I think, made from different stuff, we all survived.

the description of the film "sheffield blitz" mentions rubble near a statue. The Statue is in Fitzalan Square and the Rubble to the right is the marples Hotel which as mentioned in the context section was the site of the largest single loss of life during the raids on Sheffield with 70 dead in the pub cellar

Read Poems by
Brandy Uptain
The Pirate Lord,
Looked forward...
Til tonight,
He would bed the woman he had loved at first sight.
Oh, the pleasures he could give her,
Engulfed him in shivers.
He couldn't get a grip,
If he needed to he could take her flesh a ferociously as a whip.
As Captain he would not have to share,
To take her to their bed the men would not dare.
She knew about the women he took to his bed,
He would touch them until they begged and pled.
Then he would take them and slake his lust,
The very thought of it made her blush.
It wasn't what he could do to her body she worried about,
It was her heart, which she would give him without a doubt.
Soon he would own her body and soul,
A red stain which would no doubt show.
As soon as he touched her she would let go,
A touch so hot it would sear the soul.
Let him come and take her body and heart,
That would be the start...
To a love that could never be torn assunder,
A delicious surrender as his tongue did plunder.
She vowed to herself then and there,
She have never witnessed anything so fair.
She had never seen anything as divine,
As they lay there their bodies entwined.
He asked her the question she longed to hear,
"Will you be my wife, my dear?"
Now their days all but over they are done,
But she can't help but smile at the prize she won.
She had won the Pirate Lord's soul,
And they are immortalized in the greatest love story ever told.

AOL's $315 million Huffington Post buy is a daring venture, and not just because its success depends on the news website's ability to turn a profit. The real risk is that the political views of Arianna Huffington — the new head of AOL's recently formed media group — have the potential to turn off advertisers:
Under the $315 million acquisition agreement, Huffington, 60, will join AOL and become president and editor-in-chief of a newly formed media group. In the position, she'll oversee all of New York-based AOL's content, from the TechCrunch blog to the Patch local news sites to new content initiatives.
While the goal is to help AOL become a more powerful force in online advertising, there's a risk in putting Huffington in charge of editorial, said Rob Enderle, a San Jose, California-based technology consultant. Her political views, often critical of corporations and Republicans, may be polarizing, he said.
Business Week notes that Huffington's politics have scared off advertisers in the past: "In 2001, FedEx Corp. and Sears, Roebuck & Co., now part of Sears Holdings Corp., pulled their advertising from ABC television's 'Politically Incorrect' after Huffington and host Bill Maher described past U.S. military actions as cowardly."
Huffington may moderate herself in new position at AOL. But if she continues to put out the type of content that she's previously published at the Huffington Post, then it's easy to see why advertisers might be hesitant to sign on.
Here's just a reminder of some of the most vicious and deplorable posts and columns the Huffington Post has published over the years:
Tony Snow deserved to get cancer: "I hear about Tony Snow and say to myself, well, stand up every day, lie to the American people at the behest of your dictator-esque boss and well, how could a cancer NOT grow in you," wrote Charles Karel Bouley on March 22, 2007. "Work for Fox News, spinning the truth in to a billion knots and how can your gut not rot?"
Vice President Cheney should die of a heart attack: "I give thanks O Lord for Dick Cheney's Heart, that brave organ which has done its darn-tootin' best on four separate occasions to do what we can only dream about," wrote Tony Hendra on November 23, 2006. "O Lord, give Dick Cheney's Heart, Our Sacred Secret Weapon, the strength to try one more time! For greater love hath no heart than that it lay down its life to rid the planet of its Number One Human Tumor."
Republican voters are the equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan: "Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid rich kids like George W. Bush?" wrote John Cusack on Nov. 11, 2005. "They are the racists and hate mongers among us — they are the Ku Klux Klan."
Cheney should be killed with Osama bin Laden's dead body: "I gather up the body of the world's most notorious terrorist and hurl it over the balcony," wrote Alec Baldwin on July 4, 2006. "Then, in the final stroke of luck, Bin Laden lands on Dick Cheney. God bless America."
And these are just a few of the many examples that weren't too vulgar to reprint. If Huffington can manage to run AOL's new media empire without sinking to publishing these types of base and hateful "news" articles, then it could be a great success. But if not, advertisers should run in the other direction.

I Heart Huckabees (Soundtrack)
by Jon Brion
Released: Oct 2004
Label: Milan Records
Some people found the movie hilarious, and some found it moving. Others thought it was a pretentious mess that only succeeds in proving that Naomi Watts and Isabelle Huppert just keep getting hotter the older they get. Thankfully, all movie fans can agree on Jon Brion's superb score, which mixes up Elliot Smith/Beatles-style guitar pop tunes with a '60s flavored score.

The NRA breaks its silence; a Minnesota sheriff has Joe Biden's ear
Today on the MPR News Update: The NRA breaks its silence over the elementary school massacre in Connecticut. Also, news about the shuttered St. Paul Ford plant, legislative agendas for environmentalists and same-sex marriage proponents, a mobile food shelf that's become a model for the nation, and a "Christmas Carol" from "tha hood."
Guns, guns, guns: Everyone's talking, but what's to be done?

Also, we take a look back at how quickly the shooting deaths of police officers are resolved, return for another visit with a man coping with ALS, and tell you about another key departure at Best Buy.

Also, we have the latest on the Cold Spring police officer killing, a plan to move sand around in Wabasha, and on how the group that pressed for construction of a new St. Croix River bridge is keeping the pressure on.
The massacre in Connecticut, the reaction in Minnesota
Today on the podcast, some of the areas hardest hit by flooding earlier this year still haven't received much government financial help. Disaster "preppers" gather in Minnesota. And, not knowing English can drag a student's performance down in a number of academic areas. But first, everybody's talking about the Friday shooting rampage in Connecticut.
An elementary school shooting rampage; a bruising marriage amendment battle
There's been another mass shooting, this time in Connecticut. Also, we hear about the battle over a park along the Mississippi River in St. Paul, and the Roman Catholic Church licking its wounds after a bruising battle over same-sex marriage. All that and more in today's MPR News Update.

Today on the MPR News Update, we report on questions being asked about the ethical behavior of a St. Cloud state lawmaker, a trail of tears from South Dakota to Mankato, and the more than 16 inches of snow that fell on parts of Minnesota over the weekend. We'll look at the weather first.
'Chasing Ice' and climate change; mineral exploration on hold
Today on the MPR News Update page: Top state officials have declined to approve the sale of 31 leases to explore for minerals.

OIA Welcome President Toribion and Recognizes Fifty Years of Service by Haruo Willter
|Washington, D.C. (March 13, 2009) – On his first official visit to Washington, D.C., since his inauguration, the President of Palau paid a courtesy visit to the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) before and after his meeting with Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. On behalf of the OIA staff, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary Nikolao Pula welcomed the President and congratulated him on his recent inauguration.
President Toribiong was accompanied by the Palau Minister of State, Sandra Pierantozzi (former Vice President of Palau); Palau's Ambassador to the U.S., Hersey Kyota; the Palau Permanent Representative to the U.N., Colin Beck, Palau Senator Regina K. Mesebeluu, the Palau Minister of Health, Doctor Victor Yano, the President's Chief of Staff, Ngira Tmetuchl; Special Assistant Haruo Willter; and Counsel Kevin Kirk.
A highlight of the President's visit to OIA was a special presentation to recognize Mr. Haruo Willter for fifty years of government service. Until the end of 2008 Mr. Willter served as OIA Field Representative in Palau. Mr. Willter has now joined President Toribiong's administration.
"We are proud to recognize your service to the Office of Insular Affairs but also more importantly your fifty years of service under the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (TTPI) and the U.S. Government to the people of Palau and the greater Micronesia region," said Mr. Pula in presenting the award.
Mr. Haruo Willter served in numerous positions throughout the decades including several years in Koror as Deputy Director of the TTPI Office. He began his employment with the TTPI government in Guam in 1958, and spent many years in finance and budget positions after the TTPI moved to Saipan. He was Minister of Administration for the government of Palau in the early 1980's and served as a personal envoy of former President of Palau, Lazarus Salii. From 1990 to 2008 Willter worked with the Office of Insular Affairs in Palau, overseeing capital improvement and special projects for OIA in Palau, the FSM and the RMI.
The Office of Insular Affairs was very honored to be able to recognize Mr. Willter on the occasion of the visit by the President of Palau.

The primary purpose of the Emergency Preparedness Plan at Calhoun Community College is to ensure the continued health and safety of Calhoun students, employees, and campus visitors should any emergency event occur.
The College is committed to providing appropriate information to students, faculty, and staff to assist them during campus emergencies. The College has an Emergency Procedures Manual available for review in all campus offices and on-line, and posts evacuation maps in strategic locations. An Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC) is charged by the President to review the manual on a regular basis and to suggest revisions and improvements to the Emergency Response Procedures in order to maintain and improve those processes. The EPC has recommended that all college employees receive emergency response and evacuation training at least once a year, preferably during the College's annual In-Service meetings held at the beginning of Fall semester and during the Spring semester. The College Administration also works with appropriate community emergency response agencies to test, evaluate, and upgrade the Emergency Preparedness Plan on a regular basis. When feasible, the College conducts mock emergency drills to simulate a variety of emergency events, such as domestic violence, terrorist attack, natural disaster, etc.
Calhoun Community College has two Emergency Notification systems currently in place. The primary emergency notification tool is CCC ALERT. Each student, faculty and staff member is automatically enrolled in CCC ALERT through their Calhoun SPACE (email) account. In addition, students and employees are encouraged to add additional phone numbers and/or email addresses they wish to be used for notification of emergency situations. CCC ALERT allows for both text and voice messages on cell and/or land lines, as well as email messages. In the event of an emergency of any kind, messages are sent to all CCC ALERT recipients in a matter of minutes. The system has been tested several times during the past year for weather-related closings and has performed as expected. A second emergency notification tool used by the College is a public announcement intercom system installed on both campuses. The intercoms can be activated either for individual buildings or for campus-wide messages through phone communications. The system is initiated by specified individuals appointed by the President. Pre-written scripts for those communications are provided to the appropriate individuals in order to standardize the messages and to enhance the speed and efficiency of dispersing emergency information to the Calhoun campus community.
To execute the Emergency Preparedness Plan, Calhoun Community College has a designated Crisis Management Team. The Team is the direct line of authority for making decisions, implementing policies, and disbursing information. Members of the Crisis Management Team include:

Voice of the people
Health care for retirees should be bipartisan issue
UMWA Patriot Coal miner retirees risk losing their health care that was promised by Aug. 1. A group went to Capitol Hill to stir up support on the CARE Act (S.468/H.R.980), which is sponsored by Rockefeller, Rahall, Manchin, but not by McKinley and Capito.
Whether Republican or Democrat, this shouldn't matter because this is morally wrong that thousands risk losing their health care! Why didn't Capito join in to help these people? We the people of West Virginia voted her into office and why isn't she supporting this? Why?
Some are bedridden with sicknesses, some are trying to go off their medications to see what they can do without! This is a very important issue.
Why, Capito and McKinley, why?

Newspaper should speak against air pollution in area
A big thumbs down to the editorial board at The Herald-Dispatch for continuing to deny the importance of protecting health of West Virginians and all Americans from the dangers of air pollution from coal-fired power plants.
In 2011, the Huntington metro area ranked 15th worst for year-round particle pollution, according to the American Lung Association, and that is no joke. Not to mention the dangers of climate change, which we need to wake up and address.
We need real economic transition to a sustainable economy, not more of the same in West Virginia, and the H-D needs to realize that.

Allegiant offers the lowest fares, despite add-on fees
I used to live in the Tri-State area and was reading your article on Allegiant Air's fees. I was sitting in the Huntington airport waiting to catch my flight to St. Petersburg, Fla., using Allegiant. Your info on Allegiant fees was slightly off.
Extra fees or not, other than Spirit Airlines, where else can you fly round-trip, non-stop for $138, with a small backpack and a 25 pound carry-on? $2 for a bottle of water? Please! You pay that much or more in a grocery store cold case. Try driving for that price.
I tried three other airlines who had extra stops, baggage fees and prices of $150 or more higher than Allegiant.
Allegiant rocks!

The Free China is an authentic Chinese sailing junk - the oldest surviving wooden Chinese sailing vessel in existence and the last of its kind. Its first fifty years are a mystery, but in 1955 the Free China made headlines when it beat all odds to cross the Pacific with a crew of five young Chinese men and one American diplomat. Now it is going home.
Free China sailing under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in 1955
Free China is an approximately 80-foot, 40-ton sailing vessel that was constructed about a century ago. All that's known of her first 50 years is that the ship spent time with smugglers in Taiwan and China, changing hands among its unsavory caretakers when they were imprisoned.
But the boat emerged from obscurity in 1955 when Calvin Mehlert and five Taiwanese fishermen who had never sailed before took her on a headline-grabbing journey about 6,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean.
Arriving in San Francisco, Free China underwent pronounced changes in the decades that followed: One owner saddled her with a massive diesel engine; another took a chain saw to her stern.
These days Free China bears little resemblance to that eye-catching vessel with its large rectangular sails and upturned prow captured on film as it sailed toward the Golden Gate Bridge in 1955.
Nor have the elements been kind to this relic with its faded stripes of peeling paint. For the past eight years, the vessel has sat on blocks in a Bethel Island storage yard in East Contra Costa County, abandoned when money for repairs ran out.
But the winds of fortune shifted and, on Thursday, the rare Chinese junk began its journey back to Taiwan. Free China's return is largely the work of one Dione Chen, whose father was among the six men who made history when they entered the junk in a yacht race.
In this photo provided by the Chen family, From left to right, Benny Chia-Cheng Hsu, Loo-Chi, Hu, Marco Yu-Lin Chung, Reno Chia-Lin Chen, Paul Chow and Calvin Mehlert wave from the "Free China" Junk after arriving in San Francisco. When the five Chinese men showed up at the American Consulate in Taiwan asking for a U.S. visitor's visa, Vice Consul Calvin Mehlert _ also in his 20s _ decided not only to grant them visas, but asked for a place on board. "I thought, 'This isn't a big deal, the wind
It's a fascinating story:
Reno Chen, like most of the other young men who would become his traveling partners, was working aboard a modernized fishing vessel after World War II.
'After the war, fishing companies were abandoning junks in favor of big motorized ships,' said Mehlert, a Sacramento native who worked at the U.S. Consulate in China before joining the Free China crew. But a handful remained active, and they caught the eye of fisherman Paul Chow.
He noticed that the junk sailors often didn't have radios to receive typhoon warnings, instead taking their cue to flee from the big boats that would turn around and head back to shore.
To Chow's frustration, the junks often beat the powered ships because they took advantage of high winds. 'It would tick me off and then I thought, 'I would like to get my feet on one of those junks,' Chow said. 'Then I saw in the newspaper about a yacht race from Rhode Island to Sweden.'
Inspired to enter, Chow rallied a crew of fellow fishermen and started looking for a boat, finding the 50-year-old junk after scouring the offshore islands.
'The junkmaster was in jail for smuggling, but they contacted him and he raised his price: It was more than the boys had when they put all their belongings together and sold them,' Mehlert said.
Eventually, Mehlert said, the governor of Taiwan agreed to chip in enough money to make the purchase if the sailors would agree to name the junk Free China, a reference to that territory's desire for freedom from Chinese communism.
'It's like the Spirit of St. Louis to the Chinese,' Chow said.
The name would make a bold political statement if the junk entered the race.
But delays foiled that plan, which had them sailing south through the Panama Canal to join the trans-Atlantic race. Crew members were forced to turn back shortly after weighing anchor when they realized they lacked some necessary equipment, and their second departure took them directly into a typhoon.
'We could have turned back, but we said no way,' Chow said.
The ship survived the storm but the mechanisms used to control steering were damaged, so a passing ship bound for Japan towed Free China back to port.
The rest of the trip went smoothly, though the crew didn't arrive in San Francisco until August 1955 -- two months after the race began. The Taiwanese sailors were met with great fanfare, and ultimately inspired a documentary and a book.
Chow gave the boat to the San Francisco Maritime Museum in hopes it could be maintained as part of the collection, and the crew disbanded.
But the museum deal never panned out, and it then spent some time as a pirate radio station and the home of a pirate radio activist who made it his home for ten years. Finally it became too expensive to maintain. Largely forgotten, abandoned, rotting and on the verge of destruction, the Free China faced imminent destruction.
But one man's junk is Dione Chen's treasure. For the past four years, she has struggled to find the boat a permanent home. 'I did this to honor my father, (and) I wanted to inspire other people to capture their history, talk to their parents while they're alive,' she said.
Later this month, the vessel will be hoisted onto a container ship in Oakland for an 18-day trip to the port city of Keelung in Taiwan, a trip that costs about $169,000. There it will be restored using a combination of Taiwanese government funds and private money and put on display at the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology - a fitting end after such an adventurous life.
The eighty foot, forty ton, one-of-a-kind Chinese junk Free China barely makes it under the Bethel Island bridge as it leaves the Marine Emporium in Bethel Island, Calif. on its way to the Fulton Shipyard in Antioch Thursday, April ,19, 2012. Faced with imminent destruction, the historic and culturally significant Chinese junk has been saved and is set to begin its journey to China. (Dan Rosenstrauch/Staff)

Video:Tips for Visiting Venicewith Jonathon Stewart
Learn the best tips for visiting Venice before you go so that you don't miss any important must-sees.See Transcript
Transcript:Tips for Visiting VeniceVenice, Italy is known as one of the most romantic and unique cities in the world. Before you go, here are a few tips that are sure to help point you in the right direction. Which, in Venice, is no easy task.
Information About Visiting VeniceVenice began as a lagoon with many small islands where many sought refuge from the barbarians tied to the Roman Empire rule. The Venetians began to develop their own culture, based on sailing and the merchant trade. Eventually becoming a rich and noble city, Venice was soon known as the place to seek funding for the crusades. However, over the centuries, Venice lost its power base due to many invasions. Now, it relies on the tourist trade to keep it afloat. And, as a tourist, you most likely want to take in all that the city has to offer in terms of art, architecture, and its intricate maze of canals and winding streets. But first, you've got to get there.
What to Know About Visiting VeniceMost major U.S. cities offer flights to Venice on a direct or connecting flight. You will fly into Marco Polo Airport, which is quite small and can get very busy. Flights out of Venice on your return home should ideally be booked for very early in the morning or in the evening. To get to your hotel or cruise ship, there are transport companies that you can book in advance like Viator.com or VeniceLink.com.
Visiting VeniceOne of the best times of the year to visit is in the late spring or early fall. These tend to be quieter with fewer crowds than the busy summers. The weather is also better. It is not as humid and there are fewer mosquitoes.While out and about be sure to explore many of Venice's interesting neighborhoods and historic sites. Some places not to miss include St. Mark's Cathedral, Piazza San Marco, Bridge of Sighs, the Grand Canal and Doge's Palace. Other sights not to miss include glass-blowing demonstrations on Murano Island, enjoying the brightly colored buildings of Burano Island, and escaping the crowds by communing with nature on Torcello Island.
And, if you enjoy the culinary experiences, sample the gelato and visit the gourmet Rialto Market for new tastes and flavors. One tourist trap not to miss is seeing the city is by gondola, especially if it's at sunset. Gondoliers are the best guides you'll meet, and the best ones come from a long line of skilled oarsmen before them. You can book a gondola ahead through many companies or your hotel (although you will pay more), and be prepared to also pay more at night.
Finally, be sure to pick up a map, which may be your sole saving grace when wandering the streets of this city of wonders, with its winding roads and abrupt ends.Or, just wander until you find your hotel, or a good restaurant, or maybe even your future spouse. I'm Jonathon Stewart, with About.com.

Al-Fakhr al-Razi
Therefore, I say that everything that stands established by literal proofs concerning the necessity of Allah's existence, His oneness, His exemption from any and all partners, as well as His beginninglessness and pre-existence, His disposal of all things, His exclusive efficacy: that is what I also believe, and what I hope to meet Allah with.
As for what is ultimately subtle and unclear, as well as all that is mentioned in the Qur'an and the sound books of hadith that specifically bears one meaning: it is all exactly as the text says. Whatever is otherwise, I say: O God of the worlds, I see that all of creation concur that You are the most generous of all generous ones, and the most merciful of them; therefore, concerning anything I wrote or thought, I bear witness that if You saw that I tried to declare true something false, or declare false something true, then do with me as I deserve; but if you saw that I only tried to declare transcendent whatever I considered truly transcendent, and believed so truthfully, then let Your mercy be commensurate with my intention, not with my outcome….
As for the books which I authored and in which I listed and explicated countless questions, let whoever looks into them remember me kindly and pray for me out of compassion and benevolence, or else, strike out any wrong words. For I did not intend other than abundant investigation and the sharpening of thought, all the while relying upon Allah.6
Ibn al-Subki quotes the following lines of poetry from Imam al-Razi:
The daring of minds ends in shackles, Most of mankind's undertakings are folly. Our souls are indifferent to what our bodies do, And the sum of our lives is affliction and harm. We did not benefit from our lifelong search Except in collecting what these said, and those. Atop many a mountain men have triumphed And gone, while the mountains remained. How many men and states have we seen Goaded to disappear one and all.
Al-Razi is, with al-Hakim al-Tirmidhi, among those to whom Shaykh Muhyi al-Din Ibn `Arabi frequently refers in his books.
Main sources: Ibn al-Subki, Tabaqat al-Shafi`iyya al-Kubra 8:81-96 #1089; Ibn Qadi Shuhba, Tabaqat al-Shafi`iyya 1:-396-398 #366.
1In Ibn Qadi Shuhba: Ibn `Umar Ibn al-Husayn ibn al-Hasan.
2 The Karramiyya are the followers of Abu 'Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Karram al-Sijistani (d. 255) who used to say: "Allah is a body unlike bodies" and "Allah is firmly seated on the throne and He is in person (dhâtan) on the upper side of it." Al-Shahrastani, al-Milal wa al-Nihal (1:108) and al-Dhahabi, Siyar (10:10). Al-Baghdadi gave an exhaustive description of their doctrines in al-Farq Bayn al-Firaq (1977 ed. p. 202-214).
3List taken from Ibn al-Subki's TSK, Ibn Qadi Shuhba, and Hajji Khalifa's Kasfh al-Zunun (1:224, 2:1198, 2:1527, 2:1561, 2:1864).
4To the point he said: "One of the scholars said that his Tafsir contains everything but Tafsir!" In Hajji Khalifa, Kashf al-Zunun (1:431) and elsewhere.
5Al-Dhahabi included an entry on Imam al-Razi in his compendium of narrator-discreditation entitled Mizan al-I`tidal in which he says: "He [al-Razi] authored a book named Asrar al-Nujum which contains blatant sorcery." Al-Dhahabi, Mizan al-I`tidal. Ibn al-Subki in TSK (8:88) rejects this attribution as spurious and rightly attributes its mention to al-Dhahabi's anti-Ash`ari bias, noting that since al-Razi is not even known as a hadith narrator he did not belong in the Mizan in the first place – the latter being a compendium of narrators whose name was brought up in connection with narrator-discreditation. `Abd al-Karim ibn Khaldun al-Maghribi al-Maliki in the introduction to his Tarikh and Ibn Qadi Shuhba cite the book as al-Sirr al-Maktum fi Mukhataba al-Shams wa al-Nujum and similarly cast doubt on the authenticity of its attribution to al-Razi.
6In Ibn al-Subki, Tabaqat al-Shafi`iyya al-Kubra (8:91-92).

Hello and welcome to this blog/ partial project portfolio/ greetings portal!
Back in the day, before I became a devout follower of and consistent tweeter of tweets, I started this site to post some of the amazing and interesting things relating to the worlds of research, librarianship, and archival wonder. I wanted to share and connect with you (fellow seekers of knowledge and awe) everything I could find during my lunchbreaks and the hours I should have been sleeping. But alas, Twitter has called her siren song to me and I have sadly neglected this blog as a result.
Today, I would like this to be a place where you can learn about me, what I'm interested in (via blog posts), what my archival mind has been up to, and where I would like to go from here. Every day there's something new to learn about this profession. I'm out there learning new things, producing new content, and meeting new folks… and I love every minute.
Take a look around, like a few things, see where else I am on the internet, and save my contact info for later. You never know when it'll come in handy!

July 30, 2015
DETROIT (AP) U.S. safety regulators are checking to see if more General Motors cars should be recalled because the air bags won't inflate.
The probe covers about 400,000 Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic small cars, the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car and the Buick Verano small car from the 2012 model year.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says GM recalled just over 6,800 of the cars in two recalls last year and in January. The main front air bags wouldn't inflate due to a defect in the electrical connections.
The agency says GM may not have fully identified the cause of the problem, so it will see if the recall should be expanded. The agency has no reports of crashes or injuries from the problem.

NM Company Proposes Gold Mine In Ortiz Mountains
By KRWG News And Partners
An Albuquerque-based company wants to operate a new gold mine in the Ortiz Mountains south of Santa Fe and northeast of Albuquerque.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that Santa Fe Gold Corp. says it would extract minerals without using chemical leaching.
Two other companies last mined gold in the Ortiz Mountains three decades ago.
They used open-pit mining and cyanide heap-leaching, resulting in a lawsuit by Madrid residents over contamination from that mine.
A brochure mailed residents says Santa Fe Gold would use processes that are environmentally friendly.

Washington, DC (SportsNetwork.com) - Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 18 shots he faced for his second shutout of the season, and four different Pittsburgh players lit the lamp as the Penguins shut down Washington, 4-0, in the first meeting between these new Metropolitan Division rivals at Verizon Center.
Paul Martin, Beau Bennett, Sidney Crosby and James Neal tallied for the Penguins, the Metro leaders who have won three of four and increased their lead over the Caps to three points.
Evgeni Malkin contributed two assists for the victorious visitors.
Braden Holtby made 36 saves in defeat for the Capitals, whose three-game win streak came to a halt.
"There's lots of ways to lose games, and that's not really one way you want to do it," Washington head coach Adam Oates said of his team being blanked.
Pittsburgh picked up its first goal when Crosby won a right-circle draw back to Martin, whose offering appeared to deflect off Chris Kunitz and hit the net on the short side at 6:38 of the opening period. Nonetheless, Martin was credited with his second of the season.
"Our start was great, we came out hard, really set the tone and got that first [goal], which was important to us," Crosby said.
It was 2-0 for the visitors with 8:03 left in the frame, as Bennett slid between three Caps defenders and beat Holtby on a partially-deflected wrister from the right circle.
Crosby finished off a slick four-person passing play with a rising wrister from the left circle on a man advantage to make it 3-0 with 29 seconds left in the second.
Neal then snaked his way through the Washington zone from right-to-left and beat Holtby to the glove side with a wrister under the crossbar at 7:20 of the third as Pittsburgh enjoyed a four-goal margin.
Fleury, who earned his 25th career shutout, became the first Penguins
goaltender to blank the Capitals in Washington since Denis Herron authored a
4-0 decision on Oct. 14, 1983 at Capital Centre ... Pittsburgh and Washington
were members of the Patrick Division from 1981-93, with the Pens taking the
last game between the teams as division foes on Mar. 28, 1993 (4-1) ...
Capitals defenseman Mike Green was scratched with a lower-body injury that has
kept him sidelined for the last eight days ... Pittsburgh has won its last
five contests vs. Washington and owns an 18-10-4 record over its Wednesday
foes since 2005, including a 10-4-2 mark in America's capital over that span.
