Although I haven't coloured my hair since spring time – my hair is still looking pretty lifeless and dry (I guess my best friend Camilla, was trying to tell me something when she gave me this as a present!)
I'm ignoring my bad roots (trying too), and putting as much moisture into it while I can! After years of hype and reviews (majority being good) – I have succumbed to the Moroccanoil craze, getting the 'Glimmer Shine' spray. It basically contains the same as the 'standard' oil treatment – but supposed to add some extra shine, preventing frizz and static hair. I can't wait to start using it!
From Moroccanoil, £18.65 (100ml).

Or just, you know, watch a sporting event sometime. But which beers most embody America? That's a more complicated quest. From the cheapest of 30-packs to the most painstakingly crafted barrel-aged masterpieces, they all have a place in the spectrum of quintessentially American brews. Here are the 50 that most embody this great nation made up of... hey, 50 states! Great how that worked out. And so you can keep track of your patriotic progress, here's a convenient printable checklist.

New York, NY-- A recent survey of sexuality in America has turned up some surprising results. Over 240 million Americans are transsexuals. The remaining 73 million Americans still identify themselves as being either male or female. Sex experts are predicting that eventually everyone in America will be a transsexual.
New medical breakthroughs--and a loss of societal stigma--have made transsexualism very popular. Many people have gone back and forth between male and female dozens of times. Some people change their sex more often then they change their socks.
Pat Twinkle is a well-adjusted, normal transsexual. S/he is married to Terry Twinkie, and they both have two transsexual kids named Martie and Fil. Neither Pat nor Terry remembers their original sex.
"I think I was a man, when I first married Terry." said Pat. "We were a gay couple, until Terry became a woman. Then we were straight, until I also became a woman. Then we were a lesbian couple." said Pat. "Or maybe it was the other way around."
Pat and Terry say it's a lot of fun changing sexes, and it brings them closer to each other.
"We understand each other so much better!" exclaimed Terry about her spouse Pat. "Plus, we can wear each other's clothes!"

Wagstaffe said he arrived at his decision after reviewing police, fire and other first responder reports, the coroner's investigation and numerous videos of events at the scene. Ye, 16, was a Chinese student visiting the United States with classmates.
Wagstaffe said some of the videos show the girl on the ground outside the plane before the area is covered in foam. Other videos have shown Duckett's rig later driving over the same area after it was covered in firefighting foam.
San Francisco Fire Department Chief Joanne Hayes-White declined to discuss Ye's death other than to call it a "tragic accident."
Hayes-White said in a prepared statement that firefighters likely saved the lives of many critically wounded passengers scattered about the tarmac and still trapped aboard the Asiana Airlines flight that crashed landed July 6.
"If not for the professional rescue, triage, treatment and transport operations that were conducted by all involved agencies, it is likely that there would have been a greater loss of life," Hayes-White said.

Uno SP-248 Seatpost
The Uno SP-248 seatpost is a solid and well-proven single-bolt design. It's also one of the few seat posts still available in several sizes to fit classic steel frames.
The non-notched clamp allows for more accurate tilt adjustment than do many inexpensive seatposts. The finish is polished alloy. The head is integral with the post, not pressed on. All-in-all, it's a pretty nice seatpost that should not be confused with the lower-end Uno posts. 300mm length; about 24mm setback; 280g

If justice prevails, the Supreme Court will establish marriage equality throughout the country before summer is out. Conservatives will have to respond quickly, but also carefully, especially if they've declared their intention to run for president. Luckily, the job's already been done for them.
Back in 1956, 101 segregationists in Congress protested the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, which integrated public schools, by issuing the Southern Manifesto. All we need to do is change a few words of that manifesto, and the exact principles used to protest the end of racist education can also protest the advent of same-sex marriage nationwide.
Here's the (adjusted) text:
The unwarranted decision of the Supreme Court in the
public schoolmarriage cases is now bearing the fruit always produced when men substitute naked power for established law.
The Founding Fathers gave us a Constitution of checks and balances because they realized the inescapable lesson of history that no man or group of men can be safely entrusted with unlimited power. They framed this Constitution with its provisions for change by amendment in order to secure the fundamentals of government against the dangers of temporary popular passion or the personal predilections of public officeholders.
We regard the decisions of the Supreme Court in the
schoolmarriage cases as a clear abuse of judicial power. It climaxes a trend in the Federal Judiciary undertaking to legislate, in derogation of the authority of Congress, and to encroach upon the reserved rights of the States and the people.
The original Constitution does not mention
educationmarriage. Neither does the 14th Amendment nor any other amendment. The debates preceding the submission of the 14th Amendment clearly show that there was no intent that it should affect the system of educationmarriage maintained by the States.
This is not a joke. Or a poe. This is a real thing. Those segregationists managed to anticipate the very same Constitutional arguments our opponents are pushing today.
Power-mad judges and justices are legislating from the bench? Check!
This ought to be decided by the states? Check!
The Constitution doesn't mention the matter? Check!
The 14th Amendment never intended such an interpretation? Check!
They even managed to work in the argument from tradition:
Though there has been no constitutional amendment or act of Congress changing this established legal principle
almost a century3000 years old [or 6000 years, or even more, if you're not a young-earth creationist], the Supreme Court of the United States, with no legal basis for such action, undertook to exercise their naked judicial power and substituted their personal political and social ideas for the established law of the land.
Opponents of marriage equality have already set themselves up to use this statement by issuing an amici curiae brief to the Supreme Court, signed by six Senators and 51 representatives. Let's reverse what we did above and see how easy it be to turn quotes from that recent brief into statements that would fit right into the Southern Manifesto.
State democratic processes, not federal courts, are the fundamental incubators of change in public policy and social structure.
Redefining marriage to include same-sex relationshipsEnding segregation in schools does not fall within the "clear and central purpose" of any express constitutional provision…
[R]edefining the institution of marriage to encompass same-sex couplesAbolishing segregated schools cannot be viewed as falling within the "central meaning" or the "clear and central purpose" of the Fourteenth Amendment…
[T]here has been a long tradition favoring
the traditional definition of marriagesegregated schools, which has been reaffirmed in democratic enactments adopted by a majority of States…
See? The translation works both ways. You can go from the Southern Manifesto to the amici curiae and back again.
Of course, our opposition would never identify with segregationists or admit to wanting to take away our rights, whether it's marriage or employment or hospital visitation. No, they're simply trying to keep their states safe while outside mediators are threatening immediate and revolutionary changes — sorry, that last bit was from the Manifesto.
Rather, let's say they're protecting tradition from "people wear their sexuality on their sleeve" (in the words of Rep. Steve King, who signed the Supreme Court brief and lists his sexual partner on his government web page). Everything would be fine if homogays just stayed quietly in the closet. This all the fault of uppity outsiders who want to wreck a system that's been working just fine. Or, as the segregationists said:
This unwarranted exercise of power by the Court, contrary to the Constitution, is creating chaos and confusion in the States principally affected. It is destroying the amicable relations between the white and Negro races that have been created through 90 years of patient effort by the good people of both races. It has planted hatred and suspicion where there has been heretofore friendship and understanding.
And with arguments like that, how could you possibly want change?

Helping adults plan for their education futuresApril 2, 2013 // 0 Comments
Esmeralda Cruz was nervous about making the transition from Milwaukee Area Technical College to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Michael Brown wanted to complete his GED (General Education Diploma) and begin to turn his life around after some struggles.
Both Cruz and Brown found support in reaching their goals through the federally funded Educational Opportunity Center (EOC), based at UWM but serving eligible adults from all over Milwaukee County.
The center's advisers help students set education goals, plan for the future and enroll in programs. The EOC's services are free to low-income adults who are residents of Milwaukee County and the first in their families to go to trade or technical schools or college.
Success stories
Cruz, who is now a business management major at UWM, was worried about making the transfer from MATC to the university. "I was concerned UWM would be very different from MATC, and I wasn't sure how I would do. I had stereotyped myself…that as a Latina woman and an older student I wouldn't be able to do it. I know better now, but at the time I was concerned."
With a daughter in third grade, Cruz was also concerned about balancing family needs with her academic work.
"The Educational Opportunity Center helped me make that transfer from MATC to UWM." Now she's confident that she will earn that accounting degree so she can help her husband in their family business, and perhaps become an entrepreneur herself.
Brown was working to overcome personal problems when he discovered the EOC. "I was determined to do something to help myself and the Lord presented this opportunity." EOC director and adviser Rita Muwonge was working at an EOC location near his home, and helped him get started on his journey to a new life.
With her help and encouragement, he went on to earn his high school diploma and enrolled at MATC in Oak Creek, learning the skills for a new career as a carpenter and cabinetmaker. "I've always liked working with my hands, but before I didn't have the education to do the measuring and drafting."
Those success stories and others illustrate the work of the EOC, says Muwonge.
"Our mission is to expand awareness about educational opportunities and postsecondary education options to low-income, first-generation college students who are Milwaukee County adult residents," she adds.
The EOC works in collaboration with MATC, the YWCA, United Migrant Opportunity Services (UMOS), the Social Development Commission and a wide variety of community-based social service providers, employment agencies, and other organizations.
A wealth of services
EOC advisers can help adults plan for their individual career and academic goals.
They also work with potential students to select a college and handle admission and financial aid applications.
The advisers can help students with study habits, time management and computer skills, and connect them with mentors and tutors.
In addition, the EOC holds workshops on resources, financial aid and transferring from two-year to four-year programs, and hosts a variety of cultural programs.
"We all know that education is an important key to advancement, but the choices are sometimes complicated, and mistakes can be expensive," says Muwonge.
"The college or university needs to fit an individual's needs and financial situation.
"Many students we work with also have jobs and families to balance with their education. Our goal is to help them make the best decisions to meet their goals."
For more information about the services of the EOC, call 414-229- 2917 or visit the website at http://www4.uwm.edu/trio/eoc/.

First the Dutch cap again.
The part of this cap that caught my attention was the tightness to the head, in the style of the later 1770s, that generally is not so close and worn a little differently. The layers of frills are also very small and tight. By 1778 caps should be exploding all over the place!
Her cap actually reminds me of the caps of young children, it has a lot in common with this child's cap, English c 1778. I call these, the bathing cap style of the 1950s and 60s. Lots of tight frills, close to the head and face.
|Benjamin West
Mrs. Izard by Copley (c 1775) is wearing a frilled cap and yet it looks different. It is always about proportions, even small ones make a difference.
|Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
Mrs. Izard's cap while going over her ears, is set much further back on her head, the frills are not as small and tight and the cap has more curve around the face. Also the ribbon poufs stand out more from the cap, the entire look is different. Mrs. Izards's cap is to my eye more three dimensional than the Dutch cap.
The original comments referenced Mrs. Mifflin, another Copley portrait, c 1773. Mrs. Mifflin is a Quaker, which puts a spin on her cap, something we have to keep in mind.
Her cap while close to the head, just barely touches her ears, and is set far back on her head, away from her face. I have actually patterned this cap for a cap workshop. The cap only looked good on me, no one else ended up making the cap in the workshop. It took a zillion iterations to get the pattern right and I seldom wear it. I have only seen this style in one other portrait, a relative of Mrs. Mifflin, and I can't find it. Will post it when I do, it was on the National Portrait Gallery website or a link from it.

"Severe drought and strong dry winds in Sao Paolo have caused a rare fire tornado in the northwest city of Aracatuba. A three month drought in the region has led to brush fires across Brazil, creating the conditions for the fire tornado. Fire tornados, also known colloquially as fire devils, happen when a fire acquires a vertical rotating column of air. Some can be more than a half a mile tall and contain winds over 100 mph.
In 1923, Great Kanto earthquake in Japan, ignited a firestorm that raged through the city and produced a gigantic fire tornado that killed 38,000 in 15 minutes in the Hifukusho-Ato region of Tokyo."

Not sure if it's my shorts, hat, shoes, hair or soul but one of the above just got me drunk again from the glorious aroma of Keystone Light.
I just puked behind a tree outside work, then walked past my manager with puke in my hair. Man, I'm gonna miss this when I get a real job.
I might not remember all of last night but I clearly remember the part where I humped the mailbox.
I'm covered in mustard and it looks like I nose dived in to barbed wire ??? Was last night that good?
Remember when I got my car stuck in my backyard?
Its not college unless your study breaks were to go throw up from blacking out the night before
I'm going to go out on a limb and say last night was a success, also the neighbors are counting down the days until we move out.
I don't think you understand. Its the best fauxhawk you've ever seen. I look like a gay dinosaur.
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Can I call you littlefoot?
Lying on this bed is like lying on love and marshmallows and joy
Lesson of the night: never take shots out of a bottle you found under a couch in a frat house. I have no idea where I am
I believe you called it tequila and nipples. The proceeded to strike a pose.
library dates and plan B? He is looking like a great catch.
And I can feel feelings now and they hurt
She told me she gets scared easily and that I had to protect her. Then I made a condom joke that ended up making her cry... All bad dude

Resurgence Anti-Aging Products
Firm Skin for a Youthful Appearance
As women approach and pass through menopause, the drop-off in estrogen production results in a slow-down of collagen production. In some studies, skin has been shown to lose up to thirty-percent of its collagen in the first five years after menopause. For women experiencing menopause, this can mean loose and sagging skin or a deepening of visible wrinkles. Murad Resurgence is specifically developed, using the Science of Cellular Water™ to combat the loose skin and wrinkles that develop as a result of Hormonal Aging in women. Murad Resurgence products, as part of an Inclusive Health™ lifestyle, can give you firmer, more youthful skin even as collagen production decreases.

Violence in America is the primary concern of all Americans after the horrific shootings that have occurred in our great nation.
Ongoing debates concerning assault weapon bans, universal background checks and the limits on high-capacity magazines have found little consensus among various agencies, the government, and the National Rifle Association.
One point of unanimous agreement, however, is the need to change the culture of violence in this country.
While on a recent trip to Branson, I couldn't help but notice and be shocked by a large billboard advertising one Branson hotel's newest attraction: It was a picture of a laughing son shooting his equally delighted father in a game of laser tag using an assault-type weapon.
How can this "game" be in any way considered appropriate in light of the nation's recent shooting tragedies? Why are people not offended by this insensitive depiction of violence?
To change the nature of violence in this country, this kind of "attraction" needs to stop. There is nothing joyful in the image of a son shooting his father, even if it is only a game.

NASCAR Driver Kyle Petty's Charity Ride Makes a Pit Stop in Arco
Print Story
Published: 4/28/2013 10:45 pm
Updated: 4/29/2013 9:45 am
Former NASCAR Driver and Racing Analyst, Kyle Petty, is on the road again leading more than 175 motorcycles cross country to benefit children with chronic or life threatening illnesses. Summer Joy caught up with them in Arco to talk to Petty and some of his friends, including a former NFL great and Heisman Trophy Winner.
This week long event started on April in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho and will extend 2,100 miles before finishing in Tempe, Arizona on May 3rd.
"We started going to children's hospital and then in 2000 my oldest son was killed in a racing accident so we decided we would build a camp in his memory and that's what Victory Junction is and the ride just keeps that memory going," said Kyle Petty, a former NASCAR Driver.
The Charity Ride raises funds and awareness for Victory Junction, a camp created to enrich the lives of children with chronic medical illnesses. Former NFL Player, Herschel Walker, says it's truely a blessing to be a part of this experience.
"Eight years ago I started and I fell in love with it. I've always heard if you take something out of a society, you need to put something back in. So this is an opportunity for me to give back a little bit even though the motorcycle does most of the work," said Herschel Walker, a former NFL Player and Heisman Trophy Winner.
Over the past 19 years the Rider's Charity has raised a total of around $14 million dollars. In the last nine years, almost 8 thousand children have attended Victory Junction; their mission is to provide life changing camp experiences that are exciting and empowering while being in a safe and medically sound environment that is always free of charge.
Just to keep it going, we never have a goal. We just raise as much as we can, send as many kids to camp and then it's been a a successful year. If we send two kids to camp or if we send 200, it's good," added Petty.
Spectators, visitors, and residents are encouraged to visit one of the daily scheduled fuel stops or overnight locations to show support for the riders and also contribute to the Charity Ride's "Small Change, Big Impact" and while you're there you can check out some of these timeless bikes. There were even riders from Idaho Falls who met up with them in Arco so they could ride back with them to show their support.
God didn't create this world for us, he created it for himself. We are here to help him and I think once we have had an opportunity to store up our breads, like I have had the opportunity to store up my bread, you got to reach out and help someone else. I think that's what life is all about, that's the reason I think why this is such a beautiful country because we always wnat to help others. This was an opportunity for me to help someone. The Kyle and the whole Petty family did a great job with Vicotry Junctino and there's a lot of people involved here and I think it's our responsibility to give back," added Walker.
Thier next overnight stop is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. If you want more information on how to give or get involved with Victory Junction, visit
and below is a list of the overnight stop locations on Kyle Petty's Charity Ride Across America.
April 29: Jackson, Wy.
April 30: Green River, Wy.
May 1: Grand Junction, Co.
May 2: Durango, Co.
May 3: Tempe, Az.

No one told Graham Spanier they suspected Jerry Sandusky of sexually abusing boys during Spanier's 16 years as Penn State University president, he said through his lawyers on Tuesday.
In his first formal remarks since stepping down last fall, Spanier confirmed he sat for an interview in Philadelphia with the Freeh Investigative Group, an independent body reviewing the Sandusky scandal. The team, led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, said it will release findings and recommendations for Penn State on Thursday, posting a report online at www.thefreehreportonpsu.com.
The Freeh findings "will certainly bring a sense of emotional closure" to State College, said Don Hahn, the borough council president. "But obviously, I anticipate that there's going to be a lot of work that needs to be done in studying the report and implementing its recommendations."
Penn State officials will assemble in Scranton that day for a board of trustees meeting.
"We're all anticipating the release of this report," said incoming trustee Anthony Lubrano. "And we hope it will bring us closer to the truth."
Spanier was among the last of more than 400 people the team interviewed. Since his scandal-clouded resignation in November, Spanier has "wanted the Freeh Group to create an accurate report and has been determined to assist in any way he can," his attorneys said.
They said he requested the interview, despite published reports that he refused to do so until he could access his email messages related to Sandusky.
Trustees hired the Freeh organization in November, less than a month after state prosecutors charged Sandusky, 68, who is jailed in Centre County while awaiting sentencing on 45 crimes of abusing 10 boys, often in university facilities.
Email excerpts recently made public show Spanier apparently discussed Sandusky as early as 2001 with retired university Vice President Gary Schultz and former Athletic Director Tim Curley, who face charges of perjury for lying to an investigating grand jury and failure to report the abuse. The emails discussed handling the matter internally, rather than approaching authorities, after Curley consulted with the late football coach Joe Paterno.
Spanier has not been charged. Paterno, 85, died of lung cancer in January. University trustees removed both men, later expressing concern about their leadership.
Paterno's family released a statement saying he was neither a near-saint nor a villain.
"He was tough, aggressive, opinionated and demanding. He was also highly principled, uncompromisingly ethical, dedicated to his job at Penn State and committed to excellence," the Paternos said. "When the Sandusky case exploded last fall, Joe's first instincts were to tell everything he knew. He assumed the university would want to hear from him, but he was never given the change to present his case."
Regarding the Freeh report, the Paterno family said: "It is our firm belief that the report would be stronger and more credible if we were simply given a chance to review the findings concerning Joe Paterno in order to present the case he was never allowed to make."
Spanier attorneys Peter Vaira and Elizabeth Ainslie in Philadelphia said email excerpts trumpeted by CNN present an incomplete story.
"Selected leaks, without the full context, are distorting the public record and creating a false picture," the lawyers said. "At no time in the more than 16 years of his presidency at Penn State was Dr. Spanier told of an incident involving Jerry Sandusky that described child abuse, sexual misconduct or criminality of any kind, and he reiterated that during his interview with Louis Freeh and his colleagues."
With the Freeh interview behind him, Spanier's counsel will "revisit the issue" of his civil lawsuit against Penn State, the attorneys said. He filed the lawsuit in Centre County Court, seeking access to email messages he sent between 1998 and 2004.
Those messages would help Spanier assist investigators, according to his court filings. Penn State objected to their release, citing an ongoing state investigation. Spanier's attorneys offered no additional comment.
Penn State declined to comment on Spanier's remarks. University spokesman David La Torre said Spanier remains a tenured faculty member and is scheduled to return in spring from sabbatical.
Legal observers said Spanier might be trying to position himself ahead of the Freeh report.
"I'm surprised that a statement is being made at this point, and I'm intrigued by the categorical nature of the denial, at least in terms of the reports of those (leaked) emails," said former federal prosecutor Bruce Antkowiak, a law professor at St. Vincent College near Latrobe.
Centre County attorney Jim Bryant said he does not expect state prosecutors to charge Spanier criminally unless he mishandled grand jury testimony.
"I think he just wants to get out in front of this," said Bryant, who has dealt with Penn State in the past. He suggested Spanier "probably should have addressed this" sooner.
"Instead, he got all lawyered up," Bryant said, calling Sandusky "a long-recurring problem" at the university. Court testimony shows campus police investigated the assistant coach in 1998.
The Freeh report is expected to delve into that and other campus incidents involving Sandusky. The state Attorney General's Office, U.S. Attorney in Harrisburg, Department of Education and the NCAA continue their investigations at Penn State.

Classic Media announced that it has acquired the rights to "Olivia" from Chorion.
Press Release from Classic Media:
LONDON, UK — Classic Media announced that it has acquired the rights to Olivia from media content group Chorion. Olivia originated as an award-winning book series by Ian Falconer that has inspired a critically acclaimed animated television series. Classic Media last week announced that it had acquired from Chorion the rights to Noddy – part of the Enid Blyton estate – one of the UK's most beloved characters.
Olivia is a unique little pig...with ordinary challenges…and an extraordinary imagination. Originally created as a gift for his niece Olivia, Ian Falconer's children's book Olivia was first published in 2000 and became an instant best-seller and was awarded the prestigious Caldecott Honor. More than six million Olivia books have been sold worldwide. In 2009, OLIVIA debuted as a 3D CG TV series on Nick Jr. in the US. This top-rated series is seen in more than 120 countries and airs on leading broadcasters that include ABC (Australia), Five/Milkshake! (UK), Treehouse (Canada) and TF1 (France).
"Olivia has a strong universal appeal with young girls and their families," said Mary Durkan, Managing Director, Chorion. "We are thrilled that Classic Media will continue to introduce her to new audiences worldwide."
"This is the perfect addition to our portfolio of classic properties and we look forward to bringing Olivia and her adventures to families everywhere," said Eric Ellenbogen, Co-CEO, Classic Media.
Olivia is today's girl. She is a 6¾-old dynamo who believes she can do anything and sees every day as an opportunity to try new things. Her vivid imagination takes her on grand adventures, both real and fantasy, and like all children, her antics occasionally result in endearing misadventures. Olivia's confidence and positive nature inspires girls everywhere to think boldly and dream BIG.

U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez / AP
New Jersey voters on Tuesday also approved a ballot question forcing judges and state Supreme Court justices to pay more for retirement and health benefits. Voters easily approved the constitutional change that allows a 2011 law requiring higher benefits contributions from public workers to apply to those on the bench. A Hudson County judge who sued to block the law argued successfully that higher pension and medical costs amounted to a salary cut, which had been illegal under the constitution.
The law raised judges pension contributions from 3 percent of their salary to 12 percent by 2017. Thats nearly $15,000 more for a typical judge who earns $165,000.
TRENTON — New Jersey voters on Tuesday sent U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez back to Washington for another six-year term in a lopsided race in which the Republican challenger never figured out a way to dent the better-known, cash-flush incumbent.
Menendez, a 58-year-old Democrat, easily defeated veteran state Sen. Joe Kyrillos, 52, who was making his first bid for Senate. He ran for Congress in 1992, the only losing campaign in his quarter-century political career.
President Barack Obama won New Jersey to claim its 14 electoral votes. Obamas re-election campaign devoted little time or money to the Democrat-leaning state.
Republican Gov. Chris Christie was the first governor to endorse GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and raised millions for him during the campaign. But Christie also heaped praise on Obama for his help with the states recovery from Hurricane Sandy.
In another statewide election, voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure that allows the state to require judges to contribute more to their pension and benefits packages.
Kyrillos ran a low-key campaign that didnt draw any distinctions between him and Bob Menendez. He didnt even tout his 24 years of service in the Legislature, said political scientist Patrick Murray of Monmouth University, near Kyrillos hometown of Middletown.
Menendez entered the race with obvious advantages. He had Obama anchoring the partys ticket in a state with 662,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans. Hes from heavily populated Hudson County, which has more registered Democrats than any other county. And as an incumbent, he was known by far more voters 6 out of 10 registered voters polled by Monmouth University in late September reported not knowing enough about Kyrillos to have an opinion.
Menendez outraised Kyrillos nearly 3-to-1, according to the latest federal election filings, and had $8.3 million on hand heading into October compared with Kyrillos $1.6 million.
Voters didnt love Menendez, polls showed, but they didnt hate him, either.
The race lacked any defining issues and the challenger remained largely unknown, Murray said, a combination that tends to send voters to the default position, which is to give the incumbent another term, Murray said.
Perhaps most telling, New Jersey residents havent sent a Republican to the Senate since the 70s.
Kyrillos pulled out his most effective weapon down the stretch his pal of 20 years, Christie, who campaigned with Kyrillos at diners and rallies at least six times. The governor and the legislator go way back; Christie and his wife, Mary Pat, double-dated with Kyrillos when he took his wife on their first date.

I'm not sure how much credit to assign to this fan who "catches" a fly ball -- more than anything, he got lucky. He was sitting there, had his drink and it landed in his beer -- no real reason for a curtain call.
Still, it's a heck of a play from last night's Padres-Red Sox game:
My question, which costs more? A baseball or a beer at Fenway?

Ive been trying to learn how to skip and skid for the past 6 MONTHS! I thought I was some sort of genetic mutation that by no means could accomplish this feat. So as usual on the ride home I give a few a try thinking, "ok wait till the crank is here...lift foot up there....oh...OHHH I GET IT!" And now its as simple as that and I was skipping to my lou the rest of the way home.
ps.. anyone struggling with it as well all I did was extended my leg at the bottom of the pedal stroke and kept it like that and as it was picking me just lightly yanked up on my left foot and leaned forward and bingo.
