The Fourth
I got up early Sunday morning and made twice-baked potatoes.
Then I heated one up in the microwave and ate it for breakfast with a cold Diet Dr. Pepper.
What's wrong with me?
Who does that?
I do that, evidently.
Then I cut up fruit for sangria: lemons, limes, oranges, green apples…and later I added grapes and an extra special ingredient.
To the fruit I added Bacardi orange rum, Absolut Citron vodka, about four bottles of Pinot Grigio, and two bottles of Chardonnay. To all of this I added a simple syrup: a cup and a half of sugar dissolved in about four cups of water.
The reason I made the sangria earlier in the day is that I wanted the wine and fruit to meet, fall in love, and get married before the party started.
But here was the kicker: about an hour after I mixed it up, I started feeling mischievous. So I grabbed a jar of maraschino cherries from the fridge and dumped the juice right in. It added such a lovely pink color to the liquid, and I knew it would make it extra yummy. Then I went ahead and dumped in the cherries. They looked gorgeous!
I'll post finished photos soon. But in case you're curious about what the cherry juice/cherries did to the sangria: yum.
I made two enormous pans of baked beans from Pam of Three Many Cooks. (Here's the recipe she shared with me.) The key is to bake them for two full hours. Magical things happen.
I spiked one of the pans with a bunch of diced jalapenos, and I wished I'd tasted the ferocity of the jalapenos before so liberally dumping them in.
Ouch. Yum. Ow. Yum. Yeesh. Yum. Whoa, Nelly.
My sinuses are now clear.
I'd been dreading the cut-the-corn-off-the-cob job, so my friend Connell (I call her ShamaLamaDingDong for short) came down from the Lodge and did it for me.
I like friends.
I think I'll have her do this job every year. I don't want to do it anymore.
This is the job I like. The Butter and Cream Adder.
It's right up my alley.
Uncle Dick brought his stuffed mushrooms.
You don't even want to know what's in them.
Oh, you do? Okay, I'll tell you sometime. If I can get Uncle Dick to tell me.
They are ridiculously ridiculous! So delicious.
It rained and rained and rained during the party, so we moved the big grill under the garage. Then my strapping husband carried huge trays of ribeyes from the house.
And grilled them over Mesquite wood.
And choruses of praise were sung all over the prairie.
*No eyebrows were singed in the grilling of these steaks. I think.*
(Thanks for the photos, Shane!)
New recipe tomorrow! I promise it won't involve Fourth of July leftovers.
And the reason I know this is that there are no leftovers left.

Looks yummy. And cold Diet Dr. Pepper is a lovely breakfast staple.
Judy On Monday, July 5 at 4:34 pm
Looks like yummy 4th food. But, I especially want the Sangria!
jep On Monday, July 5 at 4:35 pm
Yummy, Yummy! My what a great 4th you had! It all looks so good, makes my mouth water. Send some of your rain our way, we could use it. Thanks!
Susan Mancuso On Monday, July 5 at 4:35 pm
Just got back from the Florida panhandle (no oil—thank goodness!) where I made white sangria every day. White wine, brandy, powdered sugar, peaches, pears, grapes, and diet tonic water. It was yummy, but next time there will be some cherry juice added to my recipe!
Synthia On Monday, July 5 at 4:35 pm
I could use some of that Sangria right about now! Looks like a good time was had by all, in spite of the rain.
Jenny @ Practically Perfect... On Monday, July 5 at 4:38 pm
Ooooh – that sangria sounds so yummy! So does everything else!
Erin On Monday, July 5 at 4:38 pm
First, delicious and wowzers!
Second, product question. Where did you acquire the drink dispenser (seen in the sangria photo)? Is it acrylic or glass? I'm looking for an acrylic drink dispenser (acrylic because we will be taking it outside and our family are just clumsy enough to break a glass dispenser.)
Thank you for sharing. I'm taking notes for our next cookout.
Coco @ Opera Girl Cooks On Monday, July 5 at 4:41 pm
Holy cow, your holiday spread looks so good! Well played, Ree!
LisaMc On Monday, July 5 at 4:41 pm
Looks like it was a great party Ree, I have never seen a decanter quite like that one, will you share where you got?
Lauren B. On Monday, July 5 at 4:42 pm
I eat random stuff and soda for breakfast too. Sometimes you do whatcha gotta do.
Ikke78 On Monday, July 5 at 4:43 pm
That's a curious way to make sangría…
Kathryn B On Monday, July 5 at 4:43 pm
Can I come to your party next year? I'm good with a knife…
Jeanmarie On Monday, July 5 at 4:43 pm
Looks great.
I spent the weekend surrounded by summer people who were setting off fireworks all around me. It was a mess I didn't have to clean up. They were even setting them off in the lake. I'm a year round resident in the Pennsylvania North East and these summer people are fun, as long as they leave at the end of the summer.
Baked beans, the only way was in a brown earthernware pot sitting on the back of a big black stove for at least a day. That was Saturday nite fare in Boston long, long, ago.
Amanda On Monday, July 5 at 4:44 pm
YUM! Wow, now I NEED that recipe for the stuffed mushrooms. Puleezzz post it?
AlohaSha On Monday, July 5 at 4:44 pm
Thanks for sharing the events of your 4th – it's never truly a party until you have to make some last minute adjustments! So true also about the baked beans – worth every second of waiting the loooong two hours smelling their baked yummy goodness!!
@ #6 Erin – check out Costco. The had a really nice swirly patterned acrylic dispenser for $20 (but you know how Costco is – gotta get it when you see it!)
Mikey On Monday, July 5 at 4:46 pm
How I do love lots of good food and gatherings of friends/family. And the sangria especially makes the family tolerable. LOL
Lu@ Mudpuddle On Monday, July 5 at 4:48 pm
I'm all about the potatoes and DP for breakfast!
the inadvertent farmer On Monday, July 5 at 4:48 pm
Is there anything those forearms cannot do???
feener On Monday, July 5 at 4:50 pm
i just want to come and visit you once. please..i am a city girl and need to experience this ranch living you speak of.
Judy R On Monday, July 5 at 4:50 pm
Oh, I love making Sangria. I add a ton of simple syrup… But, alas, I am preggo, so none for me. Sticking to the gingerale for now.
Munchiedog On Monday, July 5 at 4:50 pm
Can't wait for a picture of the sangria with cherries.. A glass full would just hit the spot right now.
Denise Lamb On Monday, July 5 at 4:52 pm
Everything looks so delicious.
We made baked beans and my Nana's homemade
potato salad. Brought back fond memories
of long ago 4 th of July's.
laura On Monday, July 5 at 4:52 pm
ill carry the ribeyes; i just want to be your friend
Kathleen On Monday, July 5 at 4:53 pm
I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't mind "corn duty" so much if you had one of the OXO Corn Strippers from Williams-Sonoma. They're really cool.
(And are you absolutely, positively certain that there aren't any ribeye steaks left over? I'd be happy to take care of those leftovers for ya!)
cas On Monday, July 5 at 4:53 pm
Here's to sangria and summer!
(And strange morning cravings.)
Candice On Monday, July 5 at 4:54 pm
All of that looks soo delicious! Maybe I need to make a trip out to Oklahoma…Seriously tho: YUM!
Joanna Kenney On Monday, July 5 at 4:55 pm
I don't really think there are many differences to a twice baked potato and hash browns. Now Diet Dr. Pepper, that's a different story. Looks delicious
Deidre On Monday, July 5 at 4:56 pm
For breakfast today I had a coke & one of my leftover potato skins from yesterday! LOL Great minds think alike….. or maybe junk food loving tummies eat alike!
Denise On Monday, July 5 at 4:57 pm
Not so sure about the breakfast, but the sangria looks yummy!
Jen at Cabin Fever On Monday, July 5 at 4:58 pm
Just like cold pizza, twice baked potatoes are acceptable ANY time! Don't let anyone fool you.
And we had similar looking flames on our grill only it was because someone on our fire department didn't pay attention while cooking the chicken. When the flames reached epic proportions and began to consume the propane grill what did all the firefighters do? Stood around, gawked, and laughed. Oh, and I took pictures. Perfectly appropriate right? I thought so
Dee DC On Monday, July 5 at 4:59 pm
I love the grilling pic, what a face! lol And the food looks delicious!
Judy in Tulsa On Monday, July 5 at 5:01 pm
You make your corn just like l do My mom taught me. Every year I go to Bixby and get a bushel of corn. Shuck it and put it in a pressure cooker to cook. Take it out and cut it off the cobb into a pan where I have already put butter. The hot corn melts it and then when I have a pan full I add the cream, salt and pepper. Then I put it in bags and freeze it to have all year long. Best corn there is!
Oh, and it makes your wild rice and corn recipe the best in the winter adding this corn!!
Elizabeth On Monday, July 5 at 5:01 pm
Love the knife that Connell was using to cut corn. Now that's a knife! Glad everyone had lots of good fun.
Kim in MD On Monday, July 5 at 5:02 pm
First of all- I would SO eat a microwaved twice baked potato for breakfast!
MM sure looks intent on getting those rib-eyes cooked! Yum! I am so sorry that it rained…I was hoping it passed before or after your celebration!
The sangria sounds amazing…I hope you will post the recipe for it and the beans!:-)
Diane On Monday, July 5 at 5:03 pm
Erin, check at Bed, Bath and Beyond, got a similar one there and mine is plastic.
Ruthie On Monday, July 5 at 5:06 pm
I crave Mexican in the morning…WHY? Twice baked potato seems perfectly logical, as well.
Country Girl in the City On Monday, July 5 at 5:06 pm
Looks mouth-wateringly delicious!!!!!!
The Wife of a Dairyman On Monday, July 5 at 5:07 pm
I've been meaning to try a sangria recipe for a party but haven't had the chance to have a summer party yet. Your recipe looks delicious! Love the idea of orange bacardi and the cherries
Adrienne On Monday, July 5 at 5:15 pm
Looks amazing! I just ate but got hungry all over again!
Belinda @zomppa On Monday, July 5 at 5:17 pm
I LOVE your breakfast! =) That's fantastic. Those ribs are rockin'!
VickiT On Monday, July 5 at 5:17 pm
Oh my goodness! I am SO drooling over those steaks and the rest of your meal. Wanna be my friend? LOL
Monica On Monday, July 5 at 5:20 pm
Yum! And looks like it was fun. Don't you love leftovers after a busy, long day? Enjoy them!
alice On Monday, July 5 at 5:22 pm
I was hoping you would post about yesterday. Those steaks look killer!
Vicki In GA On Monday, July 5 at 5:32 pm
Ree didn't mention she was featured here on the 4th:
I was so proud, because I adore Ree and all her accomplishments.
I could wrap myself around one of those rib eyes…medium rare.
Susan On Monday, July 5 at 5:32 pm
Whenever I read about your get togethers I feel like I've really missed out on a great time! Enjoy your posts so much!
Carole & Chewy On Monday, July 5 at 5:32 pm
I was really hoping the rain avoided you and came to Virginia -all we've got is hot an sunny – but those steaks look excellent.

rene Foust On Monday, July 5 at 5:33 pm
Sorry to hear that it rained but a little rain (or even a lot) has ever stopped a party. Looks like you had a blast! no pun intended
Darcie On Monday, July 5 at 5:35 pm
You tortured me with the Sangria all day twitter-can't wait to see the finished product.
EZB On Monday, July 5 at 5:37 pm
Everything sounds good except for the sangria…. it's not 'sangria' unless the wine is full bodied red. You made a nice wine punch though!
Ana On Monday, July 5 at 5:40 pm
4th of july, we had tenderloin, but tonight..it was Indian food…SOOOOOOOOOOO good!
Chettinad Milagu Kozhi Varuval (Authentic Chettinad Pepper chicken)
This is yet another chettinad delicacy which is known world wide for the spicy chettinad masala taste blended well with the tender chicken. In this type of chicken curry, pepper plays a major role in providing the hot taste needed. I have seen so many recipes of pepper chicken in the net and in most cases they use just pepper for the hot taste. But in the authentic chettinad preparation, half the quantity of chili powder used normally is used and for the remaining part pepper is used. It should be remembered that the crushed pepper should be added at the end to retain its wonderful flavor.
Chicken is well known for curing cold and the role of pepper during cold need no mention. So this curry will be a blessing in disguise for those suffering from cold. In chettinad preparations chicken is never marinated. I guess this was because nattu kozhi which was used those days will take time to cook and the masala gets enough time to get absorbed in the chicken. Now we use broiler chicken and this gets cooked within 10 minutes.
Chicken-1/2 kg ,Big onion (nicely chopped)-2
Tomatoes (chopped)-2
Ginger garlic paste-2 teaspoons
Chili powder-1 table spoon
Coriander powder-1 table spoon
Crushed pepper corns-2 table spoons
Lemon juice-1 table spoon
For seasoning
Cinnamon-3 sticks
Bay leaf-little
Fennel seeds-1 teaspoon
Curry leaf-little
Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes with 1 table spoon chili powder mentioned in the ingredients, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder and half the ginger garlic paste. Add half the quantity of salt required also during marinating.
It is always better to cook this curry in a kadai than in pressure cooker as the ingredients are added in different stages of cooking.
Pour 2 table spoon of cooking oil and add the items given in 'for seasoning' one by one in the order given. First add the nicely minced onion and sauté till oil separates. Then add the ginger garlic paste and turmeric powder. Stir well so that the pastes don't get burnt. Now add the tomato pieces and try to smash it using the ladle. The smaller the pieces easier it will be to get smashed fast. Now add the coriander powder and mix well. Add ¼ cup of water into the masala. Reduce the flame to medium. Close the kadai and let the masal get cooked for 5 minutes. Now you can see cooked masala with oil on top. In this stage add the marinated chicken pieces. Sauté nicely till the moisture in the chicken comes out. Now there will be enough water in the chicken to get cooked. Add the remaining salt needed also. Close the kadai now and in medium flame cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Check that the chicken pieces are cooked well, if not cook for some more time. Once the pieces are cooked add the crushed pepper corns on top and mix well. Add the lemon juice after switching off the stove. Garnish with coriander leaves.
Amy from She Wears Many Hats (missamy) On Monday, July 5 at 5:44 pm
I want nothing more than some twice baked potatoes and some of Uncle Dick's stuffed mushrooms right now. Immediately. It sounds like the perfect well-balanced meal to me.
Rhonda in Oklahoma On Monday, July 5 at 5:44 pm
Ah, this looked like fun! Thanks for sharing!
Karie On Monday, July 5 at 5:45 pm
I too would love the mushroom recipe, and the bean recipe, and a huge glass of sangria! Alas I'm preggo so will have to settle for the mushrooms and some sweet tea.
Anna On Monday, July 5 at 5:47 pm
I know what is wrong with you. You drank Diet Dr. Pepper with you breakfast. You needed to have regular Dr. Pepper and a twice baked potato for your breakfast! That is how I roll!
Theresa in Alberta On Monday, July 5 at 5:48 pm
I have had to roll the old BBQ into the garage a time or two to cook the food. Those steaks looks nummy yummy. Your house must have been just bursting at the seams with good food and friends
De On Monday, July 5 at 5:48 pm
Looks like a great time! And GREAT food!! It rained where I am too, but I was secretly happy about that because then I wasn't so busy with work! hehe. Can't wait to see your Sangria pics.
Karen G On Monday, July 5 at 5:51 pm
Okay, so seriously love the ridiculously ridiculous…think I'll have to tuck that into my repertoire of superlatives (its ridiculously ridiculous in size already, but a gal can always use more…thanks! :>). And holey moley macarole….talk about steaks! Now, I'm not a huge wine drinker, but I'm undeniably wanting to race into the kitchen, chop up some colorful & tasty produce and let them meet some run, vodka, and wine…..but, I lack the rum and the wine and oranges and definitely the marchino cherries……sigh…..another time then. Did ya finish cleaning the chained chicken fireworks??!! :>
Sherry On Monday, July 5 at 5:52 pm
I was making your cream & butter corn. I was cutting the corn off of the cob when someone came by. I was discussing something with her when I looked down at my chest and OH MY GOSH I had corn particles all over my marroon t-shirt. I explained what I was doing and my guest said she thought I had been eating something and that I also had a little on my chin! I was really embarassed. Does the corn fly everywhere for everyone else? I used a deep bowl.
Sheila On Monday, July 5 at 6:00 pm
None? Nothing? Nada left over?? How in the heck could that have happened!!?
hana On Monday, July 5 at 6:07 pm
Here in the City of Angels, I've had plenty of my own July 4th eating done and then some. What makes me take notice is the shot of MM toting those steaks inside…. those forearms really stand out!
Katherine B On Monday, July 5 at 6:08 pm
You got to have STEAKS?! We had hot dogs! I should have come to YOUR house…
Joolieblue On Monday, July 5 at 6:09 pm
I seriously would like to be adopted by you and live in your house and eat with you at every meal. How do you not weigh 400 pounds? I've seen you at a cookbook signing and know that you don't!
The pictures are marvelous, and good to hear that you had a great 4th in spite of the rain.
Keira On Monday, July 5 at 6:12 pm
I would eat those twice-baked potatoes for breakfast! And then a mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner. And then maybe a midnight snack? Your 4th looked delicious!
karine sully On Monday, July 5 at 6:16 pm
looks fantastic wish we could have been there rain and all.
cecelia On Monday, July 5 at 6:19 pm
That is the garage-to-end-all-garages if that flame can happen there and nothing burned down…jealous here. I love a garage. How did the children cope with being inside from the rain…I bet that rain smelled wonderful though.
Caia On Monday, July 5 at 6:19 pm
REE!!! You need an electric knife and a bundt pan for the corn. Stick the cob in the center of the pan, and carve away! No mess, no effort. My kind of cooking.
Girl Hero Jenn On Monday, July 5 at 6:19 pm
Looks like you had lots of fun despite the rain. I would gain 10 pounds in a day if I ate like that!
Sagey On Monday, July 5 at 6:20 pm
I would also love the drink dispenser (and the sangria recipe). I saw a similar one at Pottery Barn, is it the same one and how do you like it? Those types of things can be so finicky, would love a review since I also noticed it during your post about the baby shower.
Alma On Monday, July 5 at 6:23 pm
The sangria sounds yummy! Will have to try it.
Livin' Louisiana! On Monday, July 5 at 6:25 pm
Let Freedom Ring! Let the whole world sing!!
Cyn Mackley On Monday, July 5 at 6:25 pm
I love a man on the grill!
Tickled Red On Monday, July 5 at 6:26 pm
That all sounds and looks so yummy!! I can believe that there were zero leftovers.
Nana On Monday, July 5 at 6:29 pm
Been waiting for some of those recipes to see what you were doing-great!
Chris On Monday, July 5 at 6:32 pm
Ree…Get that mushroom recipe stat…those look freaking amazing!
I jused to hate cutting corn off the cobs too..til I discovered I could use my V-slicer (poor man's mandoline) It does a fantastic job…Life changing really…get ya one!
Sherri On Monday, July 5 at 6:36 pm
WOW!!! I can't wait for the Sangria recipe. PLEASE share!!!. Everything sounds wonderful….However, I couldn't stop staring at the picture of the RAIN. OMG, I can't remember the last time we got any rain here. My garden is hatin the city water and needs real rain soon!!!!
Kate (Little Beach Bum) On Monday, July 5 at 6:36 pm
Wow I would kill for one of those fat steaks right about now!! I haven't had a nice steak in months – they are so expensive here it's hard to justify it! I suppose that's one of the perks off living on a cattle ranch
Stacey On Monday, July 5 at 6:37 pm
Might have to give your sangria recipe a whirl! My uncle has/makes an awesome recipe with red wine and uses frozen berries, which provide a ton of juice. We enjoyed a quadruple batch yesterday!
Keep us posted on those mushrooms!
Beth On Monday, July 5 at 6:38 pm
Yumma-in-my-tumma-ding-dong! Wish I could have a twice baked potato for breakfast! Sounds like a great start to the day to me!
Happy 4th!
Alixandra Hice On Monday, July 5 at 6:38 pm
Hey Ree!
First time commenter and new owner of The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Lemme tell you what awesome success I've had with your recipes! The Spicy Pulled Pork (page 94) made my family see God! So, so, so, so, so good.
I have one suggestion to assist you with cutting corn off the cob: the Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper! Only twelve bucks and works like a charm! I've heard it even won gadget of the year. I got mine at Williams Sonoma, but it's easy to find anywhere.
Thanks for the inspiring recipes. LOVE them!
Pam Olsen On Monday, July 5 at 6:51 pm
My mother-in-law has the best way to cut corn off the cob–you'll love it! Take an angel food cake pan and hold the cob upright with one end resting on the center hole and hold it in place with one or two fingers and then cut away the kernels with your knife–all the corn drops off into the pan while you cut away with the cob high and dry! It is so much easier to get one full top to bottom slice with no slippage. Hope this is a good description, wish I could draw a diagram for you!! Let me know if you like this idea.
I love your blog! Pam
carolyn On Monday, July 5 at 6:55 pm
Can you please post the recipe for the sangria???
pammy1222 On Monday, July 5 at 7:01 pm
I am sitting here drooling…yummy yummmy yummmmy! You have got to get the recipe for the stuffed shrooms, they looked devine! Everything looked too good to eat…just kidding.
Katrina On Monday, July 5 at 7:13 pm
I'm from New Zealand and have no idea what pork beans are as I've never seen them here. Is it just a tin of baked beans? If it isn't, what would be the closest substitute?
Frances Bevel On Monday, July 5 at 7:16 pm
That Shane Bevel is quite the photographer! http://www.shanebevel.com
Mary Mc On Monday, July 5 at 7:24 pm
I'd happily spend hours cutting corn off the cob for that feast! And for the sangria I'd not only cut the corn–I'd grow it for ya, too!
Aishah On Monday, July 5 at 7:25 pm
I just wanted to let you know that I got my library to order your cookbook, I have it now. It was at the library that I heard people talking about your blog. I was surprised they didn't have your cookbook though. The steak sandwiches look great. I think dh would like the maple scones.
Eileen On Monday, July 5 at 7:32 pm
Are those little hands making the sangria? what kind of household are you running over there anyway???!!!??
gkey On Monday, July 5 at 7:35 pm
dear No Leftovers,
I can see why, too. All the food choices look delish.
We had sloppy joes, guacomole, pico, chips, fruit pizza, fruit salad, broccoli salad, 2 different lettuce salads, pies, brownies..i think that might have been it.
We had Pams baked beans at our Fathers'day dinner, and they were DIVINE alright.

I want to move to OK and be your friend. Or intern. The highlight of my 4th was a nap.
Window On The Prairie On Monday, July 5 at 7:36 pm
We had to grill out of the garage too, but we didn't mind. We had grilled chicken, and mashed potatoes with butter and sour cream. Yum! :o)
Wendy On Monday, July 5 at 7:39 pm
All your food looks amazing! And, uh, I couldn't help but notice MM's forearms, they're not too shabby either.
Chris/casavon On Monday, July 5 at 7:46 pm
I found a corn remover on Amazon.com…got it for my mother-in-law who cuts and freezes an amazing amount of corn. The corn stays put, by the way. By Googling, I found an acrylic beverage server, 3 gallon, at Target and Amazon. They're not terribly expensive!!
Mrs. Gamgee On Monday, July 5 at 7:53 pm
Ok… so all of that looks absolutely amazing, but I am ready to start the petition for your uncle's stuffed mushrooms! They look incredible!
Sharon On Monday, July 5 at 7:54 pm
I had a blast at our 4th of July party – wonderful family, food, fireworks, etc. But I really really want to be your friend and come to your party!!! Sangria and ribeyes??? YUM!! OH YEAH!!!

Any time is a great time for twice-baked potatoes, I think!

Your Sangria would knock me on my fanny! (maybe I would like that…..)

Internet Sharing with a PC
I am trying to share the internet connection my father has setup with his iMac through AirPort. I have a Toshiba laptop and I can connect to the network created by AirPort built into his computer but the internet connection doesn't seem to work. Is it at all possible to share an internet connection over the wireless built in to my father's Mac or does it need to be hard-wired?
The iMac needs to be hardwired to the internet and share its hard connection via Airport. Don't forget to hit the options button and enable some security. Also your PC needs to be set to use DHCP.

Thread: Port Canaveral Beaches????

Port Canaveral Beaches????
Does anyone know about the beaches in Port Canaveral? are they close, nice, etc...
We don't want to do any other excursion and I was wondering how the beach was.

Re: Port Canaveral Beaches????
Me too. I was wondering the same thing. How far is Daytona beach or New Smyrna?

Re: Port Canaveral Beaches????
The closest beach to Port Canaveral Pier is Cocoa Beach. Or so I've heard! Other than Port Canaveral beaches that is. Sailing on the July 3 MIracle and we definitely want to stay close to the ship! They offer transportation/packages to the Orlando theme parks, with our luck we would get stranded in Disney and miss the ship!!!

Re: Port Canaveral Beaches????
Alright!! A subject I finally feel I am an expert on!!! I live in Orlando and regularly go to beaches over by Pt. Canaveral (this weekend upcoming, in fact!). Now if you expect clear Caribbean blue waters, you won't get it this far north, but there are decent beaches to go to, depending on what you are looking for. Right by the Port is Jetty Park. It's about a mile or two from the pier. The park is clean and good for families. They do have a little snack shop, bait shop, etc. It is a campground, but you can go and use the beach (you don't have to camp out). You can also go walk out on to the end of the jetty and see the boats coming in and out of the port.
If you want more of a "party" atmosphere (although if it's not the weekend, I don't know how "partylike" it will be), I suggest going to the beach at the Cocoa Beach Pier or the public beach in Downtown Cocoa Beach right out front this waterfront restaurant/bar called Coconuts. On the weekend there is live music at Coconuts. You can also get tasty frozen drinks and take them with you on the beach. The same goes for the Cocoa Beach Pier (except it has a pier over water where the restaurant/bars are). While there are usually more people at these locations, I find these two beaches aren't as clean as Jetty Park.
I believe Jetty Park is $5 per car, per day. The other beaches have nominal parking fees as well. Please let me know if you have any questions.
New Smyrna is about 40 minutes north of the port and Daytona is just over an hour.

Re: Port Canaveral Beaches????
Closest beach to Port Canaveral is the beach access at Jetty Park, right next door to the Port. As a matter of fact....you'll see the beach as you leave on the ship.
Nice beach, nice park....very very close.

Jeremy Lin's move from the New York Knicks to the Houston Rockets almost feels right.
If you're anyone but a Knicks fan, that is.
After all, Lin rocketed onto the national stage—in a New York minute—and his team-switch is one of the most divisive NBA decisions since The Decision. It's a perfect story to inject drama into the league's offseason, and the perfect storm of sports, business, and ethnicity has launched a thousand articles overnight.
But the punditry keep getting the Jeremy Lin story wrong. Sure, the Knicks are getting pilloried for losing a transcendent star, but Lin's also being attacked by the fans who loved him only days ago.
Here are four myths that keep getting repeated in the coverage.
Myth: The Knicks Are a Better Team
Fact: Lin Jumped Ship Just in Time
The Knicks have tortured fans for more than a decade—the franchise has won just one playoff game since 2000—and last year's surprise run aside, there's no clear relief in sight.
The team has accumulated a collection of older players with big names, diminishing games, and expensive contracts. As the Lin fiasco appears to prove, the owner continues to harmfully meddle.
And the key players' skill sets aren't aligned, either. Lin made his mark when Knicks' go-to scorer Carmelo Anthony was sidelined with injuries; upon Anthony's return, the two had trouble co-existing and the Knicks lost eight of their next 10 games. Both players perform better when they're initiating the offense; perhaps they would have figured out a way to share the ball next year, but if the Knicks' past is prologue, the team would have sputtered, the stars would've clashed in the media, and Lin would've lost his franchise-savior luster.
Meanwhile, Houston offered obvious benefits for Lin, strictly from a basketball standpoint. It's a significantly more stable franchise, run by data-savant Daryl Morey. The Rockets also have won two NBA championships in the past 20 years—including a 1994 victory over the Knicks, who haven't claimed a title since 1973—and are frequently in the playoffs. Houston may not be NBA royalty, but they aren't the Milwaukee Bucks, either.
And the team's style of play should help Lin ascend from Cinderella to star. As ESPN analyst John Hollinger notes, middling point guards like Goran Dragic and Kyle Lowry excelled in the Rockets' system last year. With Lin now running the show, the Rockets are "going to give him the rock, get out of his way, and let him create to his heart's content. He'll be better with the Rockets than he ever would have been in New York," Hollinger concludes.
Myth: Playing in New York City Offers an Unbeatable Marketing Platform
Fact: For Years, It Hasn't Mattered Where Athletes Play
Forbes Magazine Editor Randall Lane suggests (tongue-in-cheek, I'm sure) that by swapping New York City's bright lights for middle America, Lin may be "the dumbest Harvard graduate ever."
It's never a good idea to contradict a Forbes editor in print—let alone when you've been blogging for Forbes.com for all of a month—but Lane has this wrong. Yes, there are clear marketing benefits to being a professional athlete in New York City, or Los Angeles, or even Miami.
But Michael Jordan became an icon while playing 13 years in Chicago, joining a team that had been mediocre (and glitz-free) before he arrived. LeBron James spent his first seven years in Cleveland, on his way to becoming an international star.
In some professions, you do need to be in a certain city. If you're a lobbyist, you work in Washington; if you're an actor, you head to Hollywood.
But in the global economy—when the NBA is available on live demand and athletes can control their own brand via social media—if you're good enough, the mountain (and marketers) will come to you.

text: 15.4-inch notebooks dominate the full-size laptop market now, but there is a growing trend toward smaller screens with powerful guts. Many manufacturers are easing on down to 14 or 13-inch screens, but it looks like the not-horrendously-priced 12-inch is gaining ground. There's the Dell Inspiron Mini 12, which, yes, is technically a netbook, but does show that it's possible to make something decent in that size for under $600. Then there's the ASUS N20A, a new 12.1-inch ultraportable laptop with Intel Centrino 2 technology. The ASUS site claims it's built for heavy usage, so obviously they feel that a 12-inch screen will work as a primary business or travel notebook at least. Part of the reason why people love netbooks is not just that they're lighter and less expensive, but also that they're smaller. The 7-inch models may be a bit too small, but there are plenty of decent 9 and 10-inch netbooks out there. Is 12 inches the happy medium between portable and powerful? Or is it too small for a notebook and too big for a netbook? One thing is certain: with the ASUS coming in at $999, it looks like the days of ultra-expensive 12-inch laptops are over. And if consumers can get a great, lightweight laptop that slides easily into a bag or briefcase, will 15.4-inch models become "big screens" like the 17-inch ones? via Laptoping

Tim Cook tells employees Apple has big plans for 2014, products customers are going to love
Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has sent out an email to employees, thanking them for their hard work, listing off Apple's innovations for the year, and promising even more of the same for 2014. Mark Gurman obtained a copy of the full text. In part, from 9to5Mac:
We have a lot to look forward to in 2014, including some big plans that we think customers are going to love. I am extremely proud to stand alongside you as we put innovation to work serving humankind's deepest values and highest aspirations. I consider myself the luckiest person in the world for the opportunity to work at this amazing company with all of you.
It's not just the iPhone 6, updated Apple TV, mythical iWatch, next generation iPads or Macs, or even OS X 10.10 or iOS 8, it's the company and the values and vision that continues to work at making existing products better and new, complementary products that make them, in sum, beyond better. Cook has taken to exemplifying those values, enabling Jony Ive, Craig Federighi, Phil Schiller, Eddy Cue, and the hardware, software, and services teams to pursue those visions.
2013 was back-loaded to the extreme, with not a peep out of Apple until WWDC in June, and then an avalanche from September on. That they'll be making more phones, tablets, computers, and everything that comes with them is obvious. How they'll make them and release them, and how they'll continue to tell the story of Apple and customer experience, is what I'm looking forward to.

"serving alienkinds basest wants and lowest depravities" doesn't have the same festive ring to it...
I've seen several aliens using an iPhone here in the USA. Heck, I have sold an old iPhone two to an alien in order to get the new version.
Newer, larger and faster iPhones? Thank you sir!

Class act! Even though it sounds like the same speech from last year.

I have to admit this act is getting a little old. These 'leaked' PR opportunities are disingenuous. My iPhone and iPad crash once or twice a week on average now, something that hadn't happened in years to me. The cloud services still aren't great, maps is still questionable at best, and yet we are all supposed to turn to 'new' products? I hope they get their $hit together and fix what's broken and get their services up to snuff at some point before adding more crap onto the pile.
Don't fool yourself. 2013 was mediocre. Let's recap:
iPad - Apple made it thinner and lighter and tossed in the latest processor. No Touch ID. In January iPad went to 128GB. Mini went Retina for a price. Grade B
Macbook Pro - Predicable move to Haswell based architecture. PCIe SSD. Grade C
Mac Pro - All new design thinking outside the box. Fast. Grade A
iTunes - still a festering piece of caca. Grade D
Aperture - The Rip Van Winkle of software. When is 4.0 getting here. Grade D
iPhoto - They basically did nothing with it. Grade D
iMovie - Few changes. UI is absolutely boring and non-intuitive. Grade C
GarageBand - Few changes but Logic Remote is nice - Grade B-
iOS 7 - Fisher Price bright. UI stripped of chrome which makes it rather boring. Still a nice evolution of the OS but it hasn't really leapt forward. Grade B
Mavericks - Funny name. Some nice enhancements but it remains unclear how much Apple will invest in their most powerful platform. Grade C
Apple TV - Becoming a junkyard for Cable Authenticated apps. If Airplay wasn't cool and relatively trouble free i'd be using something else.
Airplay - needs some nice new features like audio sync.
Lots of acquisitions- we'll see how long it takes to deliver something that is powerful
2013 was a good year but not necessarily a great one.
Yep, that's what Tim should tell Apple employees, that the year was mediocre. Maybe he should tell employees that they suck too. That will do wonders for morale and keeping great talent. For gods sakes people this is an internal email to employees. Of course the CEO is going to talk up the company and praise employees.
rMBA around 12" would be nice, if they can retain battery life / weight.

Movie Review: Scott Pilgrim vs. The WorldSaturday, August 14th, 2010
Michael Cera assumes the role of geek king — one more time — in this surprisingly entertaining adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novels from Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright. Despite the mountain of potential cliche and deja-vu, Wright finds novel ground, thanks to a potent visual imagination, a complete understanding of the genre and a sincere heart that pushes through the veneer of cool.
Starring: Michael Cera, Alison Pill, Ellen Wong, Anna Kendrick, Kieran Culkin and Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Rating: Three and a half stars out of five
The world certainly did have an axe to grind with Scott Pilgrim — even before the first frames of this Edgar Wright movie hit the screen. It's not a specific quibble; it's a question of deja-vu.
For starters, did the world really need another movie featuring gangly Canadian nerd icon Michael Cera in an awkward romantic lead? Moreover, did we need another adaptation of a graphic novel that's attained cult status? And really, are we so culturally bored that any film featuring a hip soundtrack and some clever video game-inspired special effects will have us drooling at the corners of our slack mouths?
Apparently, yes.
Even though Ghost World came out close to a decade ago, and the pulp pages of comic books appeal to a decidedly niche market, Wright proves there's still ample terrain to explore and exploit in the ink-stained genre with this reel that gets the tone spot on.
Wright, the director of Shaun of the Dead, brings so much raw energy to this potentially tired mix that you have to surrender to the wackiness within the first act, because it's delivered without irritating affectation.
Even Cera, who's awfully close to parodying his own image, finds a way to transcend his own persona by reformulating his goofiness. He strips away the underlying sense of geek ennui, and, in turn, clears the way for his character to assume the dimensions of Greek myth.
Just in case you aren't up on Bryan Lee O'Malley's oeuvre, Scott Pilgrim is a modern character from modern times who shares a lot in common with Perseus, the demi-god of Greek legend.
He appears to be a complete mortal, and suffers the slings and arrows of failed romance, but Scott Pilgrim has a weird brand of super-strength that emerges whenever he's forced to face off against his enemies.
In this case, those enemies are the seven evil exes who once courted his new girlfriend, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
Without any long, drawn-out explanation or primer in Hellenic narrative, Wright simply throws us in the tub of make-believe with an inflatable raft and lets us make the call: Do we want to go for this ride or not?
It's an easy question to answer, because Wright decks out the screen with so much colour, such fun characters and so many great T-shirts, the mix is undeniably seductive.
Best of all, Wright recognizes his entire movie rests on the flimsy shoulders of wilful suspension of disbelief, but he makes no apologies for a single flight of fancy.
At one point, as Scott is sucked into yet another showdown with a former love, he looks to his gay roommate Wallace (Kieran Culkin) and asks: "You're seeing this, right?"
Wallace responds with a deadpan remark and urges him to fight.
The result is a movie that seems to operate on two completely different levels at the same time. In one plane of experience, Scott Pilgrim is just an ordinary guy who plays bass in a basement band. On another plane, he's Pilgrim, a righteous avenger who does battle with the forces from the underworld with all the combat aplomb of a video game-addicted teen.
Wright, borrowing from O'Malley, successfully fuses all the pop-culture references with bits and pieces of pagan myth, because he's not obsessed with the logical weight of the story.
When Scott suddenly assumes the form of a Mortal Kombat-inspired avatar, Wright immediately changes the frame and the look of the film to match what we're about to see. Even the opening corporate salvo of planet Earth turning in space has been recreated in crude pixel form to give us the right taste of time before the movie even begins.
When things are this zany, you have to surrender and giggle — which is a good place to enjoy obvious entertainments such as these. Perhaps the biggest surprise in this silly and satisfying mix was the fact Scott Pilgrim got to keep his Canadian passport for the voyage.
The graphic novel is a Canadian export, printed in Portland by Oni Press, but the production money behind this movie is largely American, thanks to Universal's involvement. So are many of the stars, including the Oscar-nominated Anna Kendrick, who plays Scott's sister, and Culkin, who keeps our logic-based inquiries at bay with declarative statements about the mutable nature of reality — and his attraction to men.
To be honest, I wasn't sure there was enough novel ground left to tread in the world of offbeat comics and geek chic, but Wright proves genre cliche can be reinvented with imagination, self-awareness and enough courage to be sincere, when it might have been easier to slip into a cocoon of sarcasm.

Weekly Reflection (NEW!)
Archived Reflections
Weekly Reflection
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
This is the fourth devotion in a series on the Passion of Christ according to the Gospel of Matthew.
Please read Matthew Chapter 27:11--26 in your Bibles.
What's your first inclination when you get caught in a tight spot--accused of some wrong? Do you get angry blaming your accuser? Do you get indignant and try to brush it off? Do you beg and plead trying to weasel your way out? Do you play the doormat and try to avoid confrontation all together? The police officer says, You were speeding. I say, My speedometer was broken. My wife says, You know I had to leave. Why didnt you get home on time? I say, I was really busy at work. Theres always an excuse. Theres always a good reason to speak up and give some defense.
Jesus stands before Pilate and his accusers, and he says nothing. He gives no defense. He doesn't seem to have any reaction at all. We are told that Pilate is greatly amazed. Pilate was used to dealing with people more like us who want to save ourselves. Pilate was used to people giving excuses, whining, and begging for mercy. He wasnt some TV judge like Judge Judy making meaningless rulings. Pilate was used to people groveling in desperation before him because he held the power of death over life. He could make that final judgment. Most people like you and me would want to keep Pilate on their side in an argument. Jesus says nothing and Pilate is greatly amazed.
Was Pilate perplexed? Did Pilate admire Jesus courage? Or did Pilate just think him a fool? Jesus was silent because Jesus knew that the matter had already been settled between God and himself. Jesus, Gods Son, prayed in the garden that this death would not come to him, but still he would do Gods will. God was the one with the power not Pilate. God had the final word not the religious authorities. Jesus, God with us, kept silent because God was proclaiming through Jesus Christ that nothing would ever separate us from God. God in Christ was going to stay with us no matter what the consequences.
So Jesus keeps silent and lets our murderous nature come through. Yet he stays. Since Jesus Christ stayed trusting that God and not death held the power, we can now be assured that God will not ever leave us. We don't need our lame excuses to prop us up. We don't need to get angry and defensive because we are afraid. We don't need to become indignant because we believe our worth as a person has been called into question. We do not need to be the doormat believing that everything is, of course, our fault. God is with us.
We are never separated from God in Christ. Christ holds us up. Christ comforts our fears. Christ claims as worthy. Christ grants us the courage to face needed conflict. Christ stays with us despite the consequences whether we are in the right or in the wrong. We can face all the consequences of our often messy lives with courage and vulnerability because God's love, forgiveness, and grace have the last word.
Pray that God will gently remind you of God's loving last word whenever you find yourself in a tight spot and you are struck with the urge to react in old destructive ways.Christs Peace,Pastor Scott412-682-6886

Barry Crites & Vic Eshpeter, Event Directors 10:30 a.m., Field A
Registration on Thursday, 10:00 a.m., at the Registration Tent. Part 4 of 4-piece pin for the first 240 fliers.
Hot Tricks
Northwest Sport Kite League (NWSKL), Event Directors 1:30 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., Field A
Hot Tricks! This is the area where the latest style of flying has come out. It has been called trick flying and slack line flying. It involves spins, flips, floats and turns that you would not deem possible with a kite in the wind. This flying is very active in that the kite is always changing what it is doing. The competition is pitting two fliers against each other in a head to head timed environment with music played in the background. The winner of each round moves on to the next flier. This makes it very fast paced just like the flying is. The crowd and the competitors themselves–with one final winner–judge the competition. But all are winners in that they are great fliers and on the leading edge of the sport of kite flying.

Young people in this country are frequently treated as if they're not old enough to have rights. They're often forced to put up with unconstitutional censorship, invasions of privacy, over reaching discipline and many struggle to get a good education in unsafe, underfunded schools.
Katelyn Campbell, a student at Kanawha County's George Washington High School, spoke out against a controversial "abstinence until marriage" assembly, triggering a firestorm of responses from the community. Many voiced their support for Campbell, while others defended Principal George Aulenbacher, who Campbell has accused of threatening her for speaking out.
Jared Marcum, a student at Logan County's Logan Middle School was reportedly sent to the principal's office and later charged by police when he refused to remove a T-shirt that displayed the National Rifle Association's logo and an image of a hunting rifle. While facts concerning both episodes are still in dispute, both cases provide an excellent springboard for discussing student's rights.
Both the West Virginia Constitution and the First Amendment to the United States Constitution protect an individual's right to free expression – these rights extend to adolescents. Decades ago, the Supreme Court of the United States stressed that students "do not shed their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate." Schools may only limit speech that substantially and materially disrupts the educational mission of the school or interferes with the rights of others, such as lewd vulgar speech, speech that encourages or promotes illicit drug use or "true threats" of violence.
The message on Jared Marcum's T-shirt, which displayed his support for an organization and political position, was not profane, indecent, lewd, vulgar or offensive to school purposes. Katelyn Campbell bravely exercised her First Amendment rights when she contacted the media to protest an assembly that was medically inaccurate, promoted sex stereotypes and possibly violated state policy on comprehensive sex education.
These reports of retaliation and prosecution of school students are deeply troubling. The First Amendment's guarantees of free speech, assembly, petition, and religious liberty extend to all Americans regardless of age. Schools serve a vital role in helping students understand both the privilege and responsibility that comes with American citizenship. Penalizing students for exercising their First Amendment rights is counterproductive to this principal and has a chilling effect on the educational environment, where ideas should be discussed freely.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) remains the nation's most recognized defender of free expression and represents hundreds of clients each year whose right to expression has been infringed. As we reflect on these two local incidents, it is important for students, educators and parents to keep a few basic First Amendment principals in mind. Free speech is for everyone. Schools cannot punish students based simply on the beliefs they hold. School officials and educators should foster active discussion of ideas and encourage students to become politically and socially engaged citizens.
The ACLU of WV will continue to fight for students' rights in West Virginia. If you feel like your right to freedom of expression has been violated, we encourage you to submit a complaint through our website or through the mail.
Brenda Lee Green is the Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia (ACLU WV)

Even though they are using a number of new technologies and online platforms to reach voters, both major U.S. parties did not seize an opportunity to obtain the .republican and .democrat top-level domain names.
Instead, Demand Media, a Santa Monica, Calif.-based content and social media firm, applied for both names as part of a program to allow for the introduction of an unlimited number of new domain names launched by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which runs the Internet's domain name system.
After formally launching the program in January, ICANN on Wednesday revealed the list of 1,930 proposed top-level domain names that were applied for by last month's deadline.
The Democratic National Committee and the Republican National Committee were not alone in either deciding or failing to participate in ICANN's new domain name program. Many major firms including major Internet players declined to participate in the program.
A spokeswoman for Demand Media said the firm is not working with either the DNC or RNC or any other political party in its bid to launch .democrat and .republican. Officials at the two parties did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
"We chose these strings because we think they represent an opportunity to empower people to more easily identify organizations and affiliations with which they want to connect, as well as for those organizations to more easily connect with constituents," Kristen Moore, Demand Media's vice president for corporate communications, said in an e-mail response.
While the RNC may have missed the boat on .republican, the Republican State Leadership Committee, which is made up of Republican state leaders, applied for .GOP.
Facebook, one of the most popular destinations on the Internet, did not apply for .facebook or any other top-level domain names. Another major Internet firm to sit out the domain name race was Twitter, which opted against participating in the ICANN program. While tech companies such as Dell, IBM and Intel participated, Hewlett-Packard did not apply for a domain name.
However, these firms and others that opted against participating in this round will have a second chance to re-evaluate that decision. ICANN has said it will launch a second round of applications for new Internet addresses in a few years.
Facebook rival Google made a major investment in the domain name program, applying for 101 names in all. Apple and Microsoft dipped their toes into the domain name sector. Tech giant Apple is the only applicant to seek .apple, while Microsoft applied for about a dozen domain names linked to its products.
Of the top 10 companies on this year's Fortune 500 list, only Wal-Mart, General Motors and Ford applied to launch their own domain names.
Meanwhile, so far one group does not like some of the names on the list. Morality in Media said it will file a formal objection to a handful of adult-oriented domain names that have been applied for including .adult, .porn and .sex. ICANN, however, already set a precedent last year when it approved the Internet's first adult-oriented domain, .xxx.

'Amazing': 150 people join clean-up
Posted: March 06, 2014|
AROUND 150 Penzance residents braved a miserable March morning to do their bit to clean up the prom and beach.
Meeting at the Jubilee Pool, several tonnes of rubbish was collected including tractor tyres and some of the railings that had been ripped off the prom by the massive waves that have smashed into Penzance seafront in recent weeks.
Penzance East councillor Tim Dwelly, who organised the event, said: "Considering the weather we had an amazing turnout and I want to thank everyone who came to help, from pensioners to children with their parents.
"The Penzance and Madron Beaver Scouts also did amazing work clearing the gardens at Wherrytown."
Councillor Dwelly said many people had remarked on the hard work that had already been done by Cormac and other contractors.
"Although we had plenty to do, we were thrilled to see how much has already been done to repair our seafront," he added.
"The rubbish we brought up from the beach was removed by Cormac who are continuing with the major works at full tilt.
"When residents contacted me on my Facebook page to ask if they could do their bit and help clear up the seafront, I contacted Cornwall Council localism managers who swung into action, calling in the brilliant Volunteer Cornwall, who have a great track record in beach clean-ups.
"The announcement of the event got an impressive 16,000 hits – not bad for a coastal town in west Cornwall.
"If residents think there should be more of these community clear-ups, we now know how to organise them."

Connected Data has announced the third generation version of its 4-bay Drobo storage array. A completely new architecture along with USB 3.0 connectivity help make it "three times faster than the previous generation." Speed is always a welcome upgrade, but the real crowd-pleaser in this announcement is that its MSRP has been chopped to $349, and previous generation Drobo owners are eligible for a $50 customer loyalty discount.
Current Drobo owners will find it easy to migrate their data to the new system because it's also built on BeyondRAID technology:
The foundation that allows first and second generation Drobo customers to seamlessly upgrade to a new Drobo by simply removing the disk pack from their current Drobo, and moving it to their new one.
It also offers Apple users an easy way to limit the amount of space available to Time Machine. This prevents OS X from storing extremely old backups because it thinks it has access to the entire drive.
If you are in the market for some serious storage we recommend checking out Synology as we have had nothing but wonderful experiences with them.
The third generation Drobo is now available for preorder with an anticipated ship date of late April.

4 Responses to "Drobo's newest storage array is its most affordable yet and includes enhanced Time Machine support"
In my experience back in 2010, this company makes the most awful storage solutions with the worst customer support. Went through 2 of these and 10 drives in a couple of months. Been running a Lacie RAID since.

Officers responded to a home in the 8800 block of Manzanita Avenue for the reported robbery at 4:45 a.m. Sunday, officials said.
The victim told police that he was asleep in his home when he was awakened by the suspect standing over his bed, officials said.
The suspect had apparently entered the house through an open window, officials said.
The suspect simulated having a weapon when he ordered the victim to give him money and belongings. The victim was unharmed during the robbery, officials said.
Police investigated throughout the morning and arrested Smith at his home in the 20500 block of 85th Street. Police were able to recover some of the stolen property. Smith was charged with robbery and burglary and booked into Kern County Jail, officials said.
Smith spent 7 years in State Prison after being convicted for the shooting of a Los Angeles girl in her home in 1999.

Fifteen years ago today, Tupac Shakur died as a result of bullet wounds he suffered after being shot in Las Vegas, NV following a boxing match at the MGM Grand six days prior. His murder, and that of the Notorious B.I.G. six months later, sent dual shockwaves through the hip-hop community. Yet while Diddy immediately set to work securing his friend's musical legacy (helped by the fact that Biggie had completed a studio album just prior to his death), Tupac's legacy, though it's never been in question, has been comparatively uncertain and inconsistent (particularly in New York City).
Nevertheless, in 2011 a Tupac groundswell has served to highlight the late rapper's talents and the extent of the loss suffered when he was killed. In 1996, lyricism was still the primary criterion for many rap fans' judgments, and while Tupac never lacked for charisma, beat selection, or delivery, his verses weren't always as memorable as those of, say, the Notorious B.I.G. After a decade and a half, though, things look different. Imagine the Notorious B.I.G. alive in 2011, and you might form a picture not dissimilar to Jay-Z—the rapper-as-businessman, and still on top. But try the same exercise with Tupac, and quickly the extent of the loss is made all too apparent. Like Aaliyah, who died five years later, Tupac was a multi-talented, charismatic performer, who seemed able to succeed at anything he worked to accomplish. We couldn't begin to guess what he might be up to in 2011.
As for the year's zeitgeist, which includes Rick Ross's hook on Meek Mill's "Tupac Back" and The Outlawz' claim (all but denied by Shakur's mother) that they smoked Tupac's ashes? Partly it's just a confluence of news, but at least as much, it's a belated recognition of the ways in which Tupac's charisma and performance opened mainstream hip-hop up to a broader range of expression, even if within the hyper-masculine world of gangsta rap. (One could joke that Ross's self-comparison to Tupac refers to their frequent shirtless appearances.) Tupac may not be back (and despite remained aliveconspiracy theorists' evidence, he might not be alive) but his influence never left—even if it wasn't always apparent.
