I'm Going To Call This Photo…"The Rose"
Because I'm creative like that. Creative, original, innovative, complex and unique. "The Rose." What an epic title.
We're covered up by a healthy layer of ice here on the ranch, which explains why I'm taking close-up photos of flowers. The horses have silvery frost on their eyelashes and the cows have icicles hanging from their teats. Ouch. Can you imagine? I just want to run outside, set my hair dryer to "Low", and melt it off the poor girls. Of course, I'd have to have a pretty long extension cord. And besides that, it's butt cold outside. But then I think, what if it were me? I can't imagine icicles hanging from my teats. And I don't technically have teats, but as the mother of four children, all of whom were nourished exclusively with the milk from my body, imagining having teats isn't much of a stretch. And if I had icicles hanging from them, I'd sure want someone to intervene.
And then there are the roads on the ranch, which are slick as snot. Marlboro Man took the boys to the farm in the southern part of our state, which means this is an all-girl house for the next 24-hours. So just for kicks, after working on my next installment of "Black Heels…" and whipping up a couple of new holiday recipes for the cooking site, the girls and I drove down our road a spell and I showed them what a doughnut was. They screamed and squealed and shrieked and I felt really cool. Then I realized I'd gotten a little overzealous with my doughnut and the traction from my tire had broken through the ice and left a nice deep tire track in the hay meadow. Marlboro Man should be super excited when he sees it. I can't wait!
None of this matters, because I just realized that I've said "butt", "snot", and "teat" all in this single post. I sure hope this ice melts soon. I'm obviously in need of an outing.

Ahhhhh, I smell a wittle bit of cabin fever releasing itself in this post! I don't think MM will be that upset over the tire tracks…just feed him one of your tantalizing recipes, and you'll be aaalllllll good.
Ronda in FL On Monday, December 10 at 6:09 am
FUN…do you guys all get up at the crack of dawn everday to work the ranch? Or only sometimes..Did we ever learn MM's real name? Like the picture of you and your punks..Thought you may have a "Super Woman" cape on for all that you do. You look like the rest of us.. So there is hope for us yet…You are my HERO…Love your blog..
Kristi On Monday, December 10 at 6:44 am
Living dangerously, eh?
Very seldom can we "be cool" for our kids. Though, I have a feeling you let 'em know just how alive and exciting you are on a daily basis. The rest of us? We just have to be content with those rare moments.
dlyn On Monday, December 10 at 6:56 am
The rose is lovely. We are covered in ice here too, but I am going to stay in the house and bake instead of doing donuts. No kids to impress here.
Ronda in FL On Monday, December 10 at 7:01 am
It is sunny and HOT in Tampa, Fl…
Minnesota Girl On Monday, December 10 at 7:06 am
No ice in MN, just a ton of snow. Sure helps to get in the Christmas spirit.
Used to love to do doughnuts until I hit black ice on the highway and spun myself into a rollover going 60 mph. Now every little slip of the tires creates a bit of anxiety. Can't do the tilt a whirl anymore either!
Stay safe and warm.
Rocks In My Dryer On Monday, December 10 at 7:24 am
Oh, the Google searches you'll get from this post…
DIANA D On Monday, December 10 at 7:30 am
I had a dream last night that MM walked right in my front door with both boys in tow. I said hi and remembered that I had no idea what his name was and asked what they were doing at my home. He just said they were walking by and when a boys gotta go don't slow him down and they all headed for the bathroom.
Now I don't know psycologically what that all means but maybe you and your lovely family spend too much time on my computer screen or I need cute little kids to replace my teenage punks. Regardless hope the boys are feeling better and Merry Christmas to you all.
Carolina Caren On Monday, December 10 at 7:35 am
I'm with chic girl – those cows need some cocoa!
And makin' doughnuts with their mom is something those girls will always remember. What fun!
I'm doing extra laundry today 'cause it's going to be in the upper 70s and it'll dry on the line fairly quickly. Can you send some ice and cold for Christmas, though?
Carolina Caren On Monday, December 10 at 7:38 am
And, thanks to you, all I can hear now is… "Some say love, it is a hunger…" I love me some Bette Midler, but I got so burned out on that song when it was popular! Must sing something else, must sing something else…
connie in nm On Monday, December 10 at 7:42 am
We have avoided the ice, but my daughter had to negotiate the ice to get to a final at college. Still praying she gets back home safely. Final was at 7:30 am – outdoors – Woody plants. She was planning to leave her home about 6:30 am.
Question for 'Ask Ree': How often do you leave the ranch? Just to go to grocery store and church?? With your agoraphobia do you shop online? You always have such cute clothes in pictures you post. I'm a homebody, too.
Melissa On Monday, December 10 at 7:45 am
So far, two separate blogs have made me laugh today. Thank you, Ree. I needed that.
Dnksmommy/Lorrie On Monday, December 10 at 7:56 am
Hilarious post!!!!!!!!!!
Kelly On Monday, December 10 at 8:02 am
I can't wait for the next chapter of BH2TW! Doughnuts – we have to do them in a desserted parking lot here. Not that I ever have… I'm pure as the driven snow… I would never…
We're snowed in and iced over here… Hmm…
Carrums On Monday, December 10 at 8:12 am
lol!!!! Potty mouth!
Joan On Monday, December 10 at 8:30 am
Yeah, ok, but you didn't say "crap" or "testicles" and we all know you aren't above it, so I'd say you demonstrated remarkable restraint!
Lovely photo, by the way.
Swampy On Monday, December 10 at 8:34 am
Speaking of "butt," "snot," and "teat," in the same post…do you remember your New Year's Resolution for us? I'm not going to list all those words, but you promised to use all of them in a post…Well? The year is coming to a close.
Did I miss that post?
Tracey On Monday, December 10 at 8:37 am
"The Rose".
I never would have thought of that. Cuz I just am not that bright.
Gorgeous photo; makes it a little easier to bear the fact that I can't even look out my windows, due to the fact that they are completely iced over.
I haven't felt this housebound in a LOOOOOONNNGG time.
Oh – and those poor cows!!! Lord have mercy if that ever happened to me!!!
trashalou On Monday, December 10 at 8:59 am
'Some say love it is a river……..'
As for doughnut rings in the hay field? Just plead ignorance and tell MM it was aliens.
ClaudiaW On Monday, December 10 at 9:11 am
You and the girls can come stay with me in sunny California. It's still a little chilly, but I know it's gotta be warmer than there. We can sit around and pick our toes!
Sharon On Monday, December 10 at 9:17 am
Be safe over there!!!!!!!!!! I am sure you have a generator there if you loose power … please say you do…….
Bob Cleveland On Monday, December 10 at 9:31 am
Your parking lots have desserts? Tell me where you are so I can warm up the car!
And you may be pure as the new-fallen snow, but you can make pretty good donuts while DRIFTING.
(if you don't know about drifting, Google it)

Oooo, I love rose pictures, all those intricate petals.
Even though my oldest is only 4.5ys, I have had the occasion where I have done something "cool," what a fun feeling!
killlashandra On Monday, December 10 at 10:02 am
Doughnuts in the ice sure do sound fun. Yeah, the first time I saw icicles hanging off teats and in manes and tails it surprised me. I don't know why when I think about it, I mean icicles grow anywhere moisture and cold let them. But still, it was an eye popping first experience.
Alli ~Mrs. Fussypants On Monday, December 10 at 10:04 am
My teats are chilly just thinkin' about it.
cecedon On Monday, December 10 at 10:26 am
strange thing happening here, I posted 2x's yesterday and both disappeared? Strange.
Ok about the skidding out on the ice, what fun that must have been. The last time I did that I hit a tree. Not a good thing. Especially when you're a teenager and goofing off with your friends.
I'd get the longest extension cord I could find and warm up those teaties. poor girls.
Oh and I clicked on your old gringo favorite boots link, (maybe that's why my post didn't go though, because I linked it??) and I HAVE THOSE BOOTS!! I have them in the blue. I absolutely love them. They are really pointy, really. I feel like I have long feet in them!
I hope you get them for Christmas!
courtney On Monday, December 10 at 10:27 am
I love your unpredictability! A beautiful rose image and then a post full of um… not so beautiful words. You crack me up!
mp On Monday, December 10 at 10:30 am
What a GREAT post.. I love that you taught the girls all about donuts..good mommy!!
AmyG On Monday, December 10 at 10:53 am
Sounds like a fun girls weekend! I'd spend mine in the kitchen with my girls too.
Copenhagen Kisses On Monday, December 10 at 10:59 am
Slick as snot…ahh one of my favorite phrases lol.
woohoo for doughnuts! I had some fun of my own this passed weekend :)))
Hallie On Monday, December 10 at 11:13 am
I don't even like cold water on my "teats!" I can't imagine what ice would feel like. Of course, living in Maine it wouldn't be all that hard to find out!
eTrish On Monday, December 10 at 11:17 am
I wish we had some of that cold weather! It's in the 70's here in Georgia, and the greens are starting to flower and the weeds think it's spring again! Please send us some ice!
eTrish On Monday, December 10 at 11:21 am
Hey, Copenhagen Kisses, I love that phrase, too! I think it's especially clever when a lovely woman says it! LOL! The look on my students' faces when I blurt out something like that! Priceless!
Jeanette On Monday, December 10 at 11:29 am
oh Doughnuts are a blast! Used to do them all of the time in empty parking lots! Wee!!
Chesapeake Bay Woman On Monday, December 10 at 11:41 am
DIANA D – dreaming about this site is perfectly normal and absolutely acceptable. Just ask me, I can tell you all about it.
What is not *exactly* normal (realizing that normal is a subjective state of mind), though, is knowing that WDS's birthday is one week from today.
This is a sign of a PW Overdose requiring immediate medical attention. Someone call 911 now.
Bob Cleveland On Monday, December 10 at 11:44 am
Please. It's wHeeeee! At my age, every time I read Weee, I have to get up and go to our small room where there's no computer.
Marie On Monday, December 10 at 11:45 am
We have ice too! I must not be too far from you. I love how it looks on the trees and every single blade of grass. The power is still on and I'm hoping it doesn't get as bad as last year with no electricity for 5 days!
Stephanie On Monday, December 10 at 12:20 pm
haha i thought you were taking the girls out to have donuts… I was thinking those country girls sure are deprived! Not that I've had a donut myself in a long time. I am tempted to make those Hyacinth cookies but with all that butter and sugar i just might EAT one and blow my weight loss. So I am ambivalent. My kids are clueless about this recipe sitting on my desk. I am sure they would have no ambivalence about them if they saw the yummy photos. Those are secrets too.
Merino On Monday, December 10 at 12:58 pm
Frosted lashes would be kind cool to take photographs of…
Marye~ On Monday, December 10 at 1:20 pm
Having nourished my youngans from my "teats" too I say break out that extension cord girl!
Glad you were able to be a "cool" mom. We did an hours worth of school work today and now were decorating Christmas cookies!
Heidi On Monday, December 10 at 2:46 pm
Beautiful picture!
Nett On Monday, December 10 at 3:23 pm
You are ca-RACKing me up Pdub!
Wish I was doin' donuts with you and and girls. Sounds like a blast.
We may get our own donut-doin' weather tonight, through tomorrow here in K.C.
Thanks for the idea……..
Debbie W. On Monday, December 10 at 4:08 pm
OHHHHH, THOSE kinds of doughnuts! I was thinking about the addictive Krispy Kremes that you can buy at the drive-thru! You naughty girl, you!
No ice here. Just warm, balmy breezes, clear skies, and 70 degree temps. I'm telling you, California cows don't have to worry about freezing their teats off!
Rachel On Monday, December 10 at 4:57 pm
When does "Black Heels" end? Or do is it ever end.
Nikole from Texas On Monday, December 10 at 5:11 pm
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. . .donuts. Oh wait, not that kind.
MrsA On Monday, December 10 at 5:33 pm
I understand you folks are experiencing the biggest power outage since your state joined the Union. The way Fox tells it you are also having one of the worst ice storms in decades. Stay safe. Stay warm.
Lisa in Utah On Monday, December 10 at 6:01 pm
You are HILARIOUS! What a fun blog! Your pictures are great too!
Anoria On Monday, December 10 at 6:16 pm
When mentioning the plight of your cows to some of my internet friends so they could sympathize, one character – no, he's not a middle child – had a response that I just had to share:
ow… pioneer woman blog mentions that the onset of winter has caused the cows on her ranch to acquire icicles hanging from their udders
cool, squeeze out ice cream
but first! feed them lots of strawberries
I'm not sure I have anything to say for myself after that.
Anoria On Monday, December 10 at 6:18 pm
Ouch! The blog software must have thought the names were html tags. It should go:
[Anoria] ow… pioneer woman blog mentions that the onset of winter has caused the cows on her ranch to acquire icicles hanging from their udders

We sent another batch of Patterned Wire to Jan Harrell for some enameling classes she was teaching. We got back a mountain of photos! Her and her students were able to incorporate a bunch of the wire into their enameling projects!
Each of these creations is a perfect example of thinking "outside the box" with this unique wire. Enamels and Patterned Wire work perfectly together, and open up a world of exciting design possibilities. Try out our Enamels and Patterned Wire today to make your own unique creations. Enjoy!
We sent some Patterned Wire we had sitting around the studio to our friend Terri McCarthy at Terri McCarthy Studios in Grafton, WI. Jan Harrell, an excellent enameling artist and metalsmith, was teaching an enameling class. Jan's work is an exploration of textures and shapes, enamel and metal finishes, shiny and dull surfaces, as well as solid and see-through forms. Her and her students were able to incorporate some of the wire into their enameling projects!
The first two pieces were designed by Scott Boyd, a student in Jan's class. Scott was able to use our 20 gauge "Maze" Copper Patterned Wire in the first piece. This piece works great with the wire, and has just the right amount of detail. His second piece features the "Leaves" Copper Wire. This piece is simple and refined and shows how versatile the Copper Wire can be.
The bottom two pieces were created by Jan. The piece on the left uses a Copper Bezel Wire in a unique way! She even was able to add a little color in the circles of the wire for a little something extra. The last piece uses our "Round Stud" Copper Wire. Not only was she able to incorporate the wire in her piece, but she even added texture using the wire to tie it all together.
These are four great examples of thinking "outside the box" with this unique wire. Enamels and Patterned Wire work perfectly together, and open up a world of exciting design possibilities.

Even though I've pioneered co-firing diamonds in metal clay, I was not sure my big diamond would succeed because it was not the best quality stone.
The color was G (which doesn't really matter), but the clarity was I1, which means that there were inclusions that are easily visible with the unaided eye. It had a carbon crystal (black speck) and a ton of feather inclusions (cracks). I didn't know if the stone would fracture completely or if the carbon crystal would blow up or what the heck might happen. The fact is, in the world of diamonds it was a crappy stone and a big risk to fire.
Diamonds are harder than any other gemstone* and only a diamond can scratch a diamond, but firing tests that were done years ago revealed that they have a habit of vaporizing or crazing when heated in a kiln. That may seem odd, but as a classically trained jeweler I know that diamonds can be heated directly with a torch for a few seconds without damaging them. What they can't take is a long heating. So to me, putting a diamond in the kiln for the 30-minute burnout cycle would be insane.
In order to fire the diamond safely, I had to skip the burn-out firing, which I don't think is necessary anyway. I ignited the greenware with a flame, allowed it to burn away, cooled it, and then fired in activated carbon for 2 hours. The stone was totally undamaged, but it shifted in the setting during firing and is a little cattywompus, which is no big deal for me to fix. What I was concerned with was if a low quality stone would survive. And the answer is yes. My stone was unharmed.
Tips for Strong Jewelry in PMC STERLING
One of the things I've learned about PMC STERLING is the same thing I know about all the other types of metal clay, the longer it's fired, the more dense and the stronger it is.
For items where strength is not an issue, fire for the least amount of time. 1 hour is sufficient for most earrings and necklaces. For rings, bracelets and delicate items (things with fine parts and tendrils), fire for 2 hours and you'll have amazingly strong jewelry….just like cast sterling.
Even in an unfired greenware state, PMC STERLING is super strong. To make the prongs for the diamond ring I cut out a tiny ring of clay, cut the ring in quarters and let it dry. To place the prongs, I picked each one up with diamond tweezers and dipped one end in water and then held it in place for a few seconds on the ring. I guess I held one prong too tight and it broke in half. I was in a time crunch so I just put a tiny bit of water on the pieces and held those together. I can't tell which prong I repaired, and I've hammered on all of them.
What is important when firing PMC STERLING is using a reliable kiln with a temperature that can be held accurately for the duration. PMC STERLING is sintered at a temperature that is just a few degrees away from its melting point. If you try to use a tiny kiln that does not have a digital controller, you cannot be sure that your work is properly sintered or melt your work by going over temperature. The Ultra-Lite Beehive kiln, the Amaco Trinkit kiln and other tiny kilns with pyrometers for temperature control are not appropriate for PMC STERLING firing. You must be able to accurately gauge the temperature for the duration of the firing.
Recommended kilns: Any of the kilns we offer with a digital controller are perfect for PMC STERLING firing such as the Paragon SC series, Caldera, Digital Firefly, Home Artist and E Series kilns. The Evenheat Kingpin 88 series and Olympic Jewelry Artist are also great choices. You'll also need a firing vessel and activated carbon to contain your work during firing. Click here to learn more about kilns.
*Diamonds are no longer the hardest substance known to man. There are man-made nanoparticles that are harder than diamonds, but some years ago 2 substances, wurtzite boron nitride and the mineral londaleite were discovered that can handle 18% and 58% more stress respectively than a diamond.

Voter registration deadline quickly approaching
Voter registration deadline for November election at 7 p.m. Tuesday
SAN ANTONIO - The registration deadline for people who want to vote in the upcoming Presidential election is 7 p.m. Tuesday.
That fast-approaching deadline has some voters scrambling to beat the clock.
Jacquelyn Callanen, Bexar County's election administrator, said she has tripled her staff for the next few days to handle the crowds and questions.
"They just keep cranking," Callanen said, referring to the non-stop phone calls her office has been receiving. "And it's a lot of people (asking), 'Am I registered? Am I registered?'"
Callanen said the voters who should be concerned most are those who have moved since the last election, or those who haven't cast a ballot in while.
First-time voters also need to have their names added to the list. Anyone who needs to register should start by filling out a form and turning it in as soon as possible, Callanen said.
"It must be signed and then either postmarked by tomorrow or actually brought in to us," she said.
Joe Mitchell, a recent transplant from North Carolina, was in line first thing Monday morning to make sure he would have a say at the polls in November. Before he even had a chance to settle into his new home, he unpacked all of the paperwork he might need.
"I have my utility bill and my passport and my insurance card," Mitchell said. "Tomorrow is the last day and I tried to do it online but failed miserably."
Registering in person, though, turned out to be a breeze for him.
Michael Parrish, meanwhile, was determined to register, no matter what it took. As a member of the military stationed overseas, he missed out on the chance to help elect a new president four years ago.
"This year I'm making sure," Parrish said. "I saw when the deadline was and decided to bring my application in personally rather than mail it."

News Release
Wednesday, September 11, 2013
Media contact: Karen Parker, 386-758-0525
When Suwannee River floodwaters at Wilcox fell below 9 feet today, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) deactivated boating restrictions in Zone 4.
Zone 4 is the section from the County Road 340 Bridge at Rock Bluff to 1 mile below the Fowler Bluff boat ramp. This 51-mile segment falls under boating restrictions as long as the Suwannee is at 9 feet or more at the Wilcox gauge, where flood stage is 11 feet.
The FWC activated restrictions in this zone Sept. 1.
"We verified with the Suwannee River Water Management District that the water level has fallen below the required 9 feet at Wilcox," said Capt. John Burton, area supervisor at the FWC's Lake City office.
"Zone 5 on the Santa Fe River is still idle-speed, no-wake," Burton said, "and we still have officers patrolling that area to enforce the zone."
Zone 5, a 32-mile segment from River Rise in O'Leno State Park west to the confluence of the Suwannee River, was activated Aug. 23, when the Santa Fe River reached 17 feet on the Three Rivers gauge, where flood stage is 19 feet. Restrictions in that zone remain in effect.
An idle-speed, no-wake restriction means a vessel must proceed at a speed no greater than what is required to maintain steerageway and headway in that river zone. At no time is any vessel required to proceed so slowly that the operator is unable to control it or anything it may be towing.
The Suwannee and Santa Fe rivers are divided into five flood zones. The three other zones are:
For more information about the flood zones, please call 386-758-0525. To report violations, please call 888-404-3922.
To obtain real-time river level information, visit www.mysuwanneeriver.com.
FWC Facts:Anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 1988 operating a vessel powered by 10 hp or more must pass an approved boater safety course and carry a photo ID & FWC-issued boating safety card.

PITTSBURGH – A Kane woman and her 10-year-old son remain hospitalized in separate Pittsburgh medical centers with injuries sustained in a horrific Aug. 31 traffic accident near Lantz Corners.
Kathy Douglas, 36, of Kane is listed in "serious" condition in the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC)--Presbyterian, a hospital spokesman said Monday.
Plans are being finalized for the upcoming Bavarian Fall Fest, taking place Sept. 20-22 in downtown St. Marys.

The Elk County Community Foundation (ECCF) celebrated yet another major milestone in surpassing the $2 million mark in total dollars awarded to community agencies, municipalities and groups.
During the foundation's 10th anniversary in 2010, they granted their first million dollars.

Kurt Steiner's right arm may be a little sore today.
But the pain will be well worth it if he regains a Guinness world record for skipping stones.
Steiner tried to establish the record Friday by skipping smooth Lake Erie beach stones on the Allegheny Reservoir near the mouth of Kinzua Creek at Red Bridge.
A proposal to purchase temporary access road rights to be used for the construction of a gas pipeline was introduced to the St. Marys Area School District board of directors during their Thursday evening work session.
Steve Files, a contractor working with EQT Midstream Partners based in the company's DuBois field office, was on hand to provide details of the proposal.

We are delighted to announce that our 2013 Spring tour will be "The Prisoner of Zenda" an adaptation of the world-famous novel by Anthony Hope, first published in 1894. This is a swashbuckling adventure story set in "Ruritania", a fictional Austro-Hungarian state that provides the setting for a daring identity switch, when a visiting Englishman is persuaded (for the political good of the country) to impersonate the heir to the Ruritanian throne.
Chalkfoot audiences can expect the usual thrilling ensemble performance with a strong element of tongue-in-cheek fun. Keep your eye on this website at the end of the year for a full list of tour dates.

Following the 2008 election, there was much GOP angst. Some supposedly smart pundits wanted to throw social conservatives overboard, while other supposedly smart pundits wanted to throw moderates overboard. Neither seemed like a winning strategy for a party losing market share. But it made for lots of feisty columns and got many of the pundits on cable talk shows and mainstream not-really-news magazine covers. Nothing like a good Republican fight to make TV cable news producers and magazine editors happy.
But in the world of candidates and races and real voters, there were two big gubernatorial races this year in which the candidates took a different approach. After winning a purple state by 20 points and carrying Democratic-leaning Fairfax County, Governor-elect Bob McDonnell was asked in an interview if he still "cares" about social issues and if they are "winning" issues for Republicans. He answered:
Absolutely! I am a social and economic conservative and have made no bones about it. I have an 18-year record as attorney general and as a legislator of not only supporting, but leading on a lot of those issues. So I am unequivocally pro-life, pro-property rights, pro-gun, but what I understood people were most concerned about and what I saw as the biggest challenges facing Virginia were quality of life and pocketbook issues: jobs, economic development, taxes and federal intrusion into the free enterprise system. So we decided about a year out this would be a campaign about jobs.
He also explains that he's not big on a 10-point, or any point, "purity" test:
One of the reasons I was able to get 58.6 percent of the vote is that we tried to bring a lot of people into the party. We had a 2-1 advantage with independents and I try to do it by reaching out and embracing people, not having a covenant of limitations that excludes people. What I am concerned about are these acid tests where if you fail on one or two, somehow you are ostracized from the party. That leads to infighting, destruction and losses at the polls. For me, I stuck to my principles as a social and fiscal conservative, but focused almost entirely during the campaign on economic conservative issues. I didn't alienate my socially conservative friends, but I'm not sure written acid tests will be helpful in building the party.
Hmm. No one thrown out? Run on a conservative message that appeals to independents and moderates? Talk about the top issues? This sounds like it might work. Well it did, at least in Virginia and at least at a time when Obama and his Left-leaning agenda have wigged out independent voters.
And there's a lesson as well for Republicans who often take to whining about media bias. McDonnell weathered the Washington Post's onslaught over his 20-year-old thesis, and wryly observed: "It didn't matter what the Post said about my views on life and marriage. … The Post, along with my opponent, created such a misplaced focus on my position on social issues that they ceded the entire playing field to me on economic issues, which is what people were voting on." It seems that a smart and disciplined candidate, rather than wailing that the media is "150 percent in the tank" for his opponent, can use the media as a foil and get his message out anyway.
McDonnell's formula might not work everywhere for Republicans in 2010 and beyond. But it's hard to see what might work better. A lot of Republicans, therefore, will be listening to his advice as they map out their races.

Re: NBA 2K13 Discussion
That's true, but they don't need more marketing imo. Maybe they feel they need to recapture people after a lockout season. Or maybe because 2K12 pissed a lot of people off they are trying to reel in some of the casual gamers.
But at this point, everyone who plays 2K is going to still play it. Maybe some new people will pick it up, but the bulk of the consumers is made up of people who are already 2K fans.

Re: auditon horror stories
ok i got a quick one before i leave work...
i went to an audition for an 80's rock cover band, little break away side thing from my normal growling and screeching. i show up with my mic bag and a little p.a. and a few toys ready to belt out some ozzy and alice cooper. walk into the room and almost get floored by the smell. i was kinda expecting older rocker types, i stumble into hippie heven!
i swear it smelled like those dudes didn't take a bath for 20 years and painted on the old spice concentrate to cover it up. between the almost gagging from b.o. and my eye's and throat burning from the alcohol mist so thick i thought the room would spontaniously combust i got out a little "what the F*CK is that smell?!?!?!"
ok so it was more like a yelled it really loudly.......
needless to say i didn't get the part......

Read Poems by
Joy Bohland
Wish you'd get off my back
wish you'd cut the reins.
You think you're showing love
but I'm being pulled in every direction
and I'm tired. So tired...
Love isn't enough for you.
You want a souvenir to take home when you get there.
No one wants to just love me, they wanna rip off a piece.
People can't be torn up and passed around.
I'm one piece and I choose where it goes.
You're in deep but it's never enough
so you stare til I acknowledge you.
What do you want?
What do they all want?
I possess nothing
but am possessed by everyone?
I don't think so.
Drop your chains, locks and guilt trips.
Cut your fences and knock down your walls and put down your arms.
You're crowding me.
I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

George Korda: On this Veteran's Day, let's talk about secession from the United States
On this Veteran's Day, let's discuss secession from the United States.
Talk of secession is firing liberal antagonism toward some conservatives who, unhappy with the country's direction under Barack Obama's leadership, say that perhaps it's time for the United States to cease being the United States.
A war was fought between 1861 and 1865 to settle that issue. However, the conversation and controversy flares from time to time on both sides of the political aisle.
Tennessee State Sen. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains, who represents the 8th Senate District, was in the news in the last few days for agreeing to speak to the Southern National Congress (SNC), which held a meeting Nov. 1 – 3 at Fall Creek Falls.
The dust-up surrounded the SNC's identification by critics as a hate group and a secessionist organization.
It's clear from the organization's manifesto that it fears a too-powerful federal government and that it feels the northern elites and southern "collaborators" are trying to stamp out the unique southern culture and heritage. The SNC is none too fond of the factions and powerbrokers in America it sees as trying to stamp out southern symbols and history.
With respect to secession, the organization's "manifesto" says, "The SNC is not being called to issue an ordinance of secession or any other pre-determined manifesto. A Southern congress will exercise sovereignty over its own views and will speak in its own voice, thus no one can say in advance what might (sic) actually do. The possibilities range from deciding to do nothing and go home to our football and beer and NASCAR races, to taking a bold aggressive stand. The first meeting will plant the seed. If the seed is watered and fertilized, and if the plant is pruned and cared for, no telling what good fruit it might bear eventually. That's why the SNC is sovereign, at least over itself, because no one is telling it what to say or do, or what the outcome must be."
That's either reassuring, scary or threatening, depending on one's political viewpoint.
Niceley was at the SNC meeting to explain to the reportedly 35 or so in attendance his legislation that would put nomination of U.S. Senators in the hands of the state's General Assembly rather than through the primary system.
In its coverage of the SNC meeting, the Nashville Tennessean on Oct. 31, reported: "Niceley dismissed his critics' allegations that the Southern National Congress has hate-group ties and said, in any case, it wants to hear his ideas, not the other way around. He agrees with the group's idea that the South might one day be its own nation, like each of the 13 colonies after the American Revolution.
"They delegated a little power to central government. When that fails, we go back to being independent nations," he said. "We could team up with New Jersey and Oregon if we wanted to."
Perhaps illustrating the difference between what could be and how he feels about the subject were Niceley's comments in a Nov. 4 News Sentinel follow-up story by Tom Humphrey: "Niceley said the subject of secession came up from just 'one guy' during a question-and-answer session.
"I told him I'm not ready to give up on the union,' said Niceley. "What I'm doing is trying to save the union.'"
Secession has the political left upset. These days.
While not specifically referring to Niceley and the SNC, liberal columnist, commentator and author Bill Moyers is among those condemning conservative secession-related talk, as in his Oct. 4, 2013 essay: "Like the die-hards of the racist South a century and a half ago, who would destroy the Union before giving up their slaves, so would these people burn the place down, sink the ship of state, and sow economic chaos to get their way."
But let's rewind to 2004. George W. Bush is in the White House. Liberals are unhappy. One of them is Lawrence O' Donnell, a former Democratic senate staff member (and today host of MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O' Donnell").
In a Nov. 16, 2004 "Salon" article titled, "If at first you don't secede," by Michelle Goldberg, O' Donnell was prominently featured.
Wrote Goldberg, "Feeling they've lost any say in how the nation is run, liberals are turning to an unfamiliar philosophy: States' rights.
"These sentiments were so pronounced that they migrated into the mainstream. Speaking on 'The McLaughlin Group' the weekend after George W. Bush's victory, panelist Lawrence O'Donnell, a former Democratic Senate staffer, noted that blue states subsidize the red ones with their tax dollars, and said, 'The big problem the country now has, which is going to produce a serious discussion of secession over the next 20 years, is that the segment of the country that pays for the federal government is now being governed by the people who don't pay for the federal government."
"A shocked Tony Blankley asked him, 'Are you calling for civil war?' To which O'Donnell replied, 'You can secede without firing a shot.' "
Also in 2004, Democratic strategist and Fox News personality Bob Beckel said, "I think now that slavery is taken care of, I'm for letting the South form its own nation. Really, I think they ought to have their own confederacy."
Multiple internet searches have thus far failed to find a Bill Moyers criticism of either O' Donnell's or Beckel's sentiments concerning dismembering the nation.
The United States is too precious and too exceptional an experiment in human freedom to be dashed to pieces by partisans of the left and right who despise their political opposites. Is government becoming too big, costly, intrusive and controlling? That position can be supported on any number of fronts.
But the United States must not be destroyed in order to "save" it.
You want to fight this war? Do it at the polls, with ideas, policies, organization, fundraising, and issues. Stop trying to be one of the never-ending stream of "intellectuals" – pseudo and otherwise – predicting or hoping for the end of America.
As the Rolling Stones so eloquently explained, you can't always get what you want. And the old saying that you don't appreciate what you have until it's gone? It's true.
On this Veteran's Day, when we honor those who served and remember those who died defending this country, don't state your respect for them and dishonor them at the same time by calling for the destruction of the country for which they served and died.
In short, stop it.

Vietnam sends another blogger to prison for critical postsBy AP News Mar 19, 2014 1:22PM UTC
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — A Vietnamese court has sentenced a dissident blogger to 15 months in prison for posting online criticism of the government, the latest case in an intensifying crackdown against dissent in the one-party communist country.
At a two-hour trial at the Hanoi People's Court on Wednesday, Judge Ngo Tu Hoc said Pham Viet Dao was guilty of "abusing democratic freedoms to infringe the interests of the state" by posting dozens of articles that "distorted, vilified and smeared the senior leaders."
Dao apologized for the "erroneous" details in some of his posts, but said he did not do that on purpose.
Earlier this month, a court in the central city of Danang sentenced a well-known blogger to two years in jail for the same charges.

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, 2004 Veterans Day is special for Ida E. Simpson, because it gives her a chance to reflect on serving her country during World War II, which was something she thought a woman in those days wouldn't be able to do.
The 82-year-old veteran spoke of her service in an interview at the Armed Forces Retirement Home here, where she resides.
Simpson, who joined the Women's Army Corps in January 1944, said she's proud of the fact that she was one of the "early ones."
"Now, people say, 'Thank you for your service.' They never said that when we started out," said Simpson, who retired from the Army on July 1, 1964, as a sergeant first class.
In fact, she said, "They wrote terrible stories about us being camp followers and everything. I never knew a single camp follower. And, of course, I wasn't. I was a country girl who used to pick cotton on the farm in Cottonport, La."
When Simpson joined the Women's Army Corps, she said, she went into the Army Air Corps because "they were needing everybody they could round up and we, the women, wanted to do something to help."
She said she enlisted as soon as she finished Louisiana State Normal College, which is now Northwestern State University. She wanted to major in journalism, but was told there wasn't any future in journalism for a woman. So she majored in health and physical education.
"In the war, I was a switchboard operator with the 3341st Signal Battalion," she noted. "When I joined the Army I told them I wanted to go overseas, and they sent me to France after the June 6, 1944, D-Day invasion."
Her outfit sailed out of New York on Aug. 15, 1944, on a troop transport ship that had brought German prisoners from England to the United States. It took 15 days to cross the ocean because of bad weather and German U-boats, according to Simpson.
After more training in England, Simpson said, "They wouldn't tell us where we were going, but one night, they put us on a small boat and took us across the English Channel to Normandy Beach, France. You could see all the boats all torn up from the D-Day Invasion. It was really awful!
"They asked us if we wanted to look inside the German pill boxes (concrete machine-gun fortifications) to see the remains of the German soldiers and their weapons," she said. "I wasn't interested in that, but some of our people did it."
The women soldiers stayed on the beach about 10 days until all the landmines were cleared. "Then they put us in those big trucks and took us all day long and into the night to get to Paris -- the city of lights. But the only light we had were the moon and stars," Simpson said with a good-natured chuckle.
While in England, the women were taught how to operate field switchboards. "When we got to Paris, they assigned us to the 3341st Signal Battalion," she said. "We sent messages back and forth across the English Channel and all over the European Theater."
Simpson said the women put through hundreds of telephone calls every day. During each call they had to say, "Will you guard your conversation, please. The enemy may be listening."
"My roommates and I would wake each other at night saying that in our sleep," she said. "We would laugh about it, but it wasn't really funny."
The women stayed in Paris until after Victory in Europe Day, or VE Day.
"Before we left France, the French people wanted to show their appreciation for women who served there during the war," Simpson noted. "So they had a big parade for us that went all the way from the Arc de Triomphe to the end of the Champs-Elysees."
The former noncommissioned officer said women soldiers lived in a beautiful chateau in Compiegne, France, that had a fireplace in every room. "Our troops lived up on the hill in tents," she said. "I felt sorry for them, but not sorry enough to give up my fireplace."
When the personnel processing center was moved to Le Havre, France, Simpson said she could have returned to the United States, but she stayed until she felt her company could get along with fewer people.
Returning home in March 1946, she was discharged from the Army, and tried civilian life for a while. "There still wasn't much for a woman to do to earn any money," Simpson noted. "So I re-enlisted to participate in the Berlin Airlift, but wasn't able to do so because I caught pneumonia during processing at Fort Dix, N.J."
Simpson ended up working at a separation center at Camp Kilmer, N.J. That's where she finally got a chance to become a journalist. "My commanding officer found out about an opening on the Kilmer Eagle newspaper and suggested that I try for the job," she said. "They took me in and taught me how to write, and I became a journalist, which was what I'd always wanted to do."
In the interview, Simpson spoke on the significance of Veterans Day. "Having Veterans Day is important because you get a lot of memories, but you never win anything fighting a war," she said, "especially the people who have the burden of fighting the war."

MELLOTT, Ind. (AP) -- An Indiana woman whose dog vanished when a tornado struck her family's home last month says a person who adopted the dog from an animal shelter six days later refuses to return him.
Kyla Robinson says her family's beloved dog, Rosco, went missing when a tornado badly damaged their home in Mellott, a small town 60 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
Someone brought Rosco to the Clinton County Humane Society the day after the twister after finding him wandering without tags about 45 miles from home. A woman adopted him five days later.
Robinson tells the Journal & Courier that she's working with an attorney to try to get Rosco back.
She says her 10-year-old daughter still cries and hopes "these people will have a heart and give him back."

so true! these suburbanites have grown soft because their blocks are pitch black and motionless by 9:30. Hey this is the city, these are unfortunate occurrences but they occur none the less...move on and quit being 'friady-cats
excuse me @OLD RUSS....old timer, but what city of this size can you actually name with immaculate streets that are crime free???? I didnt think so. you guys are clinging onto a fairytale utopia based on reports from afar that someone else has it better possibly.... this was an incident, and unfortunate one...but it happens every once and a while. Get pack your bags and move to the only intersection where the sounds of gunshots are actually "fire crackers" and keep your mind at ease that intersection is Gullible lane and Naive blvd. Where you can have a chat with the beat-cop who only needs to carry a billy club and the milk man delivers on time daily! smh.....It happened now lets move on, i'll be downtown again because I dont let a few bad apples spoil my city!
A lot of you that comment represent the fearful citizens of this region. You hear about one isolated incident. a shooting happens downtown maybe once a year....maybe a few dozen times in this cities 215 years of existence and you're ready to flee?! Its a big city filled with combustible elements and personalities...mind your business and this rarity will most likely never involve you! If you don't like that, I hear itty-bitty towns with a sheriff and a deputy and a general store are pleasant in the summer...all the monotony you can take!
and if the citizens didnt live in such fear and flee the scene of a booming area whenever there is an altercation or happening they dont approve of, then maybe some of our neighborhoods would still be thriving. The flats are in the shape they're in because you allowed the reckless to invade by running when the first sign of recklessness occurred....had we all continued a stance that rowdy ppl won't rain on our parade, they'd get the point and afterwhile they'd go elsewhere
you cynics love adhering to hyperbole....That or making this topic unjustly racial...as if racial dna determines behavior....NO, culture can INFLUENCE behavior though, so if you blame it on a group dont call out skin color but rather socio-economic status
@BoneyBenny, Dude have you really truly watched the Cosby Show??? Grandkids were definitely written into the show! One of the siblings had twins and the other was the step mother to raven symone's character....it went 8 succesful seasons in the top 10 and didnt want to jump the shark...THATS WHY IT WENT OFF...ON TOP and it had a successful spinoff "A Different World" run during and even succeed its run.
As for post-Sheen "Two and a half Men"....fo'getta bout it!!!! not gonna work, I saw someone post that it would be successful because Ashton is big on twitter!!! What???!!! When that that merits someone can come on a show with a different dynamic and expect fans that have liked it for what it was for the past 8 years to like it? fo'getta bout it!!!! lol It will be cancelled if they dont announce they're ending it first.
I dont like Lebron anymore and all of that but I'm over it!
And eww Bill Livingston, bitterness and spite don't look good on you at all! Some of the things you say in this article are harsh and derogatory for a guy who all manufactured and technical aesthetics aside, simply made a business decision in poor fashion. I the "quit" game I was at panini's on west 6th just as angry as anyone but even then it was more of a stance of frustration performed by James....tell me why no one else stepped up and played hard??? Thats why James quit, because he was the work horse. Calling him a "overpriced dog" is showing your true colors, that you never viewed him as a man but as a mere specimen for your entertainment and vicarious athleticism!
and to FINALLY admit your underlying feeling that the "witness" nike campaign was an aim to sell high priced sneakers to poor kids probably contradicts your elation in pass articles when the good times were still rolling and there was no fear of LBJ's departure I bet you chuckled and basked in the era of "witness" at the Q!
hypocrisy is Uuuugly, weren't you suppose to continue on as Lebrons' sports writer in Miami or something? Leaving PD? That must have soured and now here comes this "dan gilbert" esque blog by you....sad.
Go Cavs!
@arnold ziffel
".....I would put it on ice and order a twenty four hour guard...bleh blah bleh blah....i would order it back to the mainland for further forensic studies blah blah..." smh. Relax fictitious President Ziffel and cool out on the poltical fantasy, turn off the tv every once and a while.
Hitler's body was never recovered and I've never heard much conspiracy theory on him still lurking in the shadows. The beat Mussolini's corpse in a public forum and that was hardly tasteful, they hung Saddam Hussein and video taped it and that footage being broadcast was uncalled for in my opinion. IF we are so blood thirsty to see someone dead like some mass electric chair viewing then we're no better off than the sadistic minds that accosted us! I believe they should release the photos to be viewed by exclusive officials and personnel not to the general public.
@wahoobrook, of course the president is not going to be the trigger-man, but he is the Commander and Chief of the military and you're in denial to not acknowledge that fact. His order trickles down in the hierarchy, and in addition, his administration could have chosen to pull back on this manhunt from the offset....give credit when credit is due and quit being so distastefully angry in your withholding of credit to our hardworking President Obama...hes at the very least cleaning up the mess that was made.
I love Cleveland over any city but PD and Cleveland supporters are contradicting themselves on this one....
They are now backing the same forbes list that they claimed had no idea what they were talking about when we were listed as the no.1 miserable city LAST YEAR
now that forbes is panning miami and thats where lebron is....FORBES is ALL O' SUDDEN RIGHT?!
wow, how bitter are we going to be? Leave that young man be and do articles the expose our corrupted local government with the level of publicity that will shake righteous politics into the exisiting infrastructure if only to avoid all the media attention
I resent what you said about the eastside very much. you're obviously someone with a warped perception from the outside looking in. I grew up on the eastside and its a great place to live if your comfortable and confident....yeah its the city so if you dont have character or a tough exterior you may come across some stuff but if you do unto others you dont have a problem...ppl prey on the weak and someone like you would probably be jittery and nail biting every second you're in the rumored "war zone" so of course someone will try you when you're looking like lunch meat...same goes for seedy west side areas
Well thats a rightful suit won...he needed meds...they didnt give it to him...they're responisble for his death.
annnnnnd.. que the cynics...................(your on negative commentators!)
how many teens and kids do you know that live in the vicinity of yuppie hubs like ohio city??? hmmm?
there are less residential stops on the westside, im not sayin there are none...but the red line is the link to pretty much all connector route of east cleveland (louis stokes/windermere station) so yea.
its not a projection that black males will be the highest number targeted...its a fact
and here is why
the red line runs in the inner city.....more so the east side.
question, racially who predominantly lives in the inner city/east side. Black people! Same with the health line...and youth in general are more expected to fare jump, process of elimination....white families made the big exodus from east side neighborhoods a long time ago for reasons inexplicable beyond the notion that too many black people were moving in....therefore...yes in the defense of the remaining youth...which happens to be black/hispanic minority....a few of the board members feel that they dont want to be ONE more reason our young men end up on the grid...because when someone has priors, no matter the conviction the public always yells "hes got a record...he must be guilty".................i dont think these members opposed to court hearings are against some kind of procsecution....they just have to come up with something milder or less of a mark left behind
say what you wanna say...of course Cleveland, we are still mad at him. If we can place ourselves in the shoes of the rest of the nation....THIS REPAIRS HIS IMAGE A LIL' BIT....the acknowledgement of possible missteps and the hints of comedy always sway the ever fickle and gullible American TV audience. LeBron and Nike, a winning combination
you dont have to like it but when your a minority....(not even just black) in a professional world...in The united states where the majority is white....RACE IS ALWAYS A PRESENT THOUGHT and therefore can factor into business in a big way or small way....but definately in a way! Especially in Cruel self segregated Cleveland where the river is a quasi- mason dixon and SOME whites (either proud bigots or in denial) form a neighborhood exodus whenever too many minorities move in....say what you need to say to sleep at night but What i've just stated is the closest to the truth
umm really? Dan Gilbert will "always" have more money than lebron james? dont write that in stone...he may have amassed a incredible amount but he's tied into mortgages and investors, partnerships with the cities and states that he operates...according to the climate of the selected industries...he's loaded, sometimes hes front loaded. LeBron was already 1/10 of a billionaire his rookie season with the nike deal and initial endorsements combined, not to mention his meager rookie salary....and (up until the summer at least) he only exploded into an international brand even more....Im no fan of lebron (anymore) im just tellin it like it is
you are so right....these pessimistic, cynical and just downright negative minded clevelanders seemingly make up most of the "Greater" Cleveland Population and I say "Greater" because most of these downers and duds talk their trash from outside the city limits....deeming the inner city neighborhoods in a condescending light, like their too good for them. NEW RULE...if you live in the Metro but not the Inner city...shut your mouth about our development. You call our neighborhoods the ghettos and criticize from afar its people like you that make it that way, divesting from areas stemming from bigotry, classism and yes racism.
Now you wanna talk about development in the beacon of the east side...the pulse of development that gives the city some hope, University Circle....We're at the dawning of becoming a medical and arts mecca in this nation if we play it right and not have anymore of those greedy (once again...) Greater Clevelanders take county seats and play czars and monopoly for their own capital gain....as long as cleveland clinic and university hospital stay somewhat privatized we wont have that problem...Go Cleveland! Build it!
Umm, wow really. Look, I'm no longer a fan of lebron either but I am not reduced to childish name calling and pointless degradation like commenting on his male pattern baldness...to whomever wrote this article, ....Plain Dealer actually pays you??? Are you a sports writer or a tabloid/celebrity paparazzi?? This article is so cheap and meaningless to basketball play, it just seems ornery to do. And for the record (and once again I'm a loyal clevelander and cavs fan...) Michael Jordan didnt become half the force he is now legendary to have been until after, thats right, he shaved his head because he was balding! so if you write a dumb article like this...explore the past contemporaries
it's inconclusive because it doesn't show what happend up to the point that the men walked out of the club...the arguing back and finger pointing in the face can be warranted and justified...i felt like doing that when i was bounced out a club. the security had them on the sidewalk they could have just went back across the threshold after that
i went to tequila ranch on west sixth street and was bounced from the club at an almost zero tolorance pace....i'd hate to say its because im Black but hey...i feel as if the scope of the club security is on us heavier...i mean we can't hide behind this "racism is of the past generation" thing all the time. sure not many people are raised to think or feel hatered towards another due to their ethnicity anymore, and sure opportunity has facilitated but you cant deny some ppls vitriolic views of something their foreign to or their ornery personality toward ppl that dont look like them....racism isnt as bad but it does exist it's just evolved!
I too am a recent college grad....too many members of security and law enforcement are prejudice meaning the pre judge us...they overreact to our every movement...they stand on guard to combat suspected hostility to the point that from the inception of an "altercation" we aren't treated fairly, and it feels like harassment.....some of you white bloggers just DONT understand, you have to be in our shoes i guess....yeah im from the east side, thats another stereotype and stigma in itself...i have a squeaky clean record and a bachelor's degree....but just because i dress the way of popular culture and listen to choice music...and YES look a certain way. Im followed, suspected and interrogated unjustly, you can say it doesnt exist but your either oblivious or naive. 'Cause im an accomplished young man with no reason to lie!
and i was shoved out vigorously by two bouncers, with no prior signs of unruly behavior in the club...all because i placed my hat on my head for two seconds to adjust my carrying of my drink and my cell phone because i was close to dropping it, when i looked up a white guy had his finger in my face...and then i was being jabbed in the lower back toward the door. true story, and i saw other ppl in the club with hats on, they were looking for a reason....maybe they have a quota...eh doesnt matter to me...they're just mad i make more than them...angry losers
wow cleevlindr who are u to be anyones judge of character...especially ppl you don't know or you've never met. Thats a rude comment of Lebrons mother that you imply based on rumors, i was raised to never gossip and if it's not your business to keep your mouth shut and mind your own and if someone has the audacity to criticize anothers mother....they might get socked in the eye...."downs another drink"???? smh, you dont know that....you cynics are too intrusive...HAVE SOME RESPECT
