Windows Phone 7 April CTP and TransitioningContentControl
- Posted: May 20, 2010 at 1:36PM
Right click "Save as…"
In my original screencast (my blog or on here on Channel 9), I showed you how to use the Silverlight Toolkit's TransitioningContentControl to add automatic transitions between pages of your Windows Phone 7 Silverlight application. A few days after recording and posting that screencast, Microsoft released an updated version of the tools and the emulator. Soon after, I started to get reports from folks watching my screencast that the TransitioningContentControl not only didn't work with the April CTP release, but it prevented their entire application from running.
Bummer! I started to dig into it, and it "appears" that the TransitioningContentControl is suffering from the bug talked about here. I say it "appears" to be related to that because the symptoms are the same, but unfortunately, the provided fix does not work on the System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit assembly that is created by building the Silverlight Toolkit. I think it has something to do with the fact that the System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit project uses the output of several other projects, which are probably signed as well. I am not sure how that propagates into the final assembly, but the Powershell script does not fix things.
To solve the problem, I just went "brute force" and added the necessary source files from the TransitioningContentControl project to my own project and called it good. A better step would have been to break that source out into its own project and create an unsigned assembly containing just the TCC that I could then reuse between Windows Phone projects, but I am assuming at this point that whatever the bug is (signed assembly or other), will be fixed in a future release. In the interim, this get the job done.
Watch the short video (5 minutes) to see how to get things set up. Skip to the 2:30 mark if you want to get right to the step required to add TCC directly to your project.Download source here

I am trying to think who Frazier fought that punched as hard as Rocky, and Foreman is the only person who comes to mind. I am of the opinion that Frazier was done with his career at that point and physically did not have the same fit presence he had as a dominant heavyweight (see his wide ass vs Bugner, Foreman).
How this fight would play out is difficult, as both men had tremendous heart and power.
If they fought 3 times I imagine it would be split down the middle or the same fight everytime coming to a hard fought UD or maybe a draw. This, for me, is one of the toughest matchups to try analyzing from a fantasy fight perspective.

For years i was trained by Joe Frazier, and he was a tough teacher. I'm 5'9'' and 165lbs of pure lean muscle. 3% body fat. Was a football player in high school and a lacrosse player too so im pretty sturdily built. As a pro boxer my best, if not only, asset is my chin and being tough as nails. When Joe was working the pads with me i dropped my right hand down and he nailed me with a hook. This was around 2004. I was put on my ass and dazed as hell. Joe Frazier could punch and probably did it harder than most people think. He has the better wins by far, the better competition and i think he would win h2h. Marciano NEVER fought anyone as tough or mean or powerful as Joe Frazier. Smokin' Joe could back him up all night, push him around. I mean look at Buster Mathis, Frazier tossed him around at points. He was also faster, more athletic, and more accurate that rocky.

Who has the better resume? Frazier by a mile. He simply has the better wins and that can't be disputed and downgrading him for losing to fecking Ali and George Foreman is crazy ... I mean come on .... how do you think rocky would have done against those two??
IMO frazier would beat all 49 of rockys opponents pretty handily tbh ... walcott would be tough enough but I don't see Joe having to many problems with him, in fact I think he would handle him better than rocky did.
What about the other way round? Well I'd fancy rocky over everybody save Ali and Foreman.
Best wins? Walcott and Ali respectively (can anybody seriously say a win over walcott is better than ali???)
And then we come to frazier's losses .... twice to Ali and twice to foreman. I don't see rocky doing any better tbh. In fact I don't think he beats the ali from FOTC so he'd probably come off worse imo.
On top of that guys like quarry, ellis and Oscar B would be real tough slogs for marciano though I'd fancy him to come through. I don't see anybody in rocky's record that would have much shot against frazier.
All in all I reckon frazier v Rocky would be a fight for the ages. A long hard slugging brawl. I wouldn't be shocked if Rocky pulled off the win but if I had to bet, I'd absolutely bet on Frazier.

I think Rocky had a better chin. I just can't see Frazier beating him head-to-head. I'd even go far as to say that he'd wear down and stop young Foreman, as well. It would be a little similar to the Lyle fight but a different result.

Marciano never beat anybody in his entire career to make a claim for beating Foreman. If Walcott and Moore could hurt Marciano it's not a stretch to see the much bigger Foreman blowing him out. Nobody ever came close beating Foreman in the style Marciano used. And yes, size would matter in this one because Foreman would move Marciano around with ease. A smaller fighter taking it to Foreman would not be healthy.
Lyle and Marciano are nothing alike in terms of their size or style. Lyle was a 6-3 220 plus boxer-puncher who worked of his jab. Marciano was a 5-10 185 pound crouching, swarming, punishing fighter. So what criteria are you using to claim it would be similar?
Marciano had a better chin based on what? Because he never took one from Foreman? That seems to be the only explanation I can see.

Heres a few comparisons that give an idea of the competition avalible to Marciano and Frazier respectfully.
Frazier top competition;
Foster (ltHvy)
(forman & Ali are the top comp.)
Charles 83-11
LaStanza 53-3
Reynolds 51-9
Layne 34-1
Mathewes 81-3-5
****eld 66-11 (ltHvy)
the last 8 times Joe fought he lost 4 and 3 were stopped + a draw .
Granted his losses were against hard hitting Formen and Master Tech Ali but the other competition is void of big hitters.
Another point is that Rocky was never hurt by his flash knock down with Moore, he was up immediately and took charge of Moore and won by tko!
Rocky fought better power than Joe did other than Foreman and was never in major trouble other than cuts and abrasions.
I believe these fantasy match ups are interesting and in the case of these two champs anything is possible as to an outcome. I stated I think Rocky has a punch advantage and I believe thats the difference. Joe was a one handed fighter for the most part except in his younger and "lighter" days he did use his jab but as he got older he would get countered when using against better comp so he shelved it.
Joe was between 5'10" 1/2 Rocky was 5'11" Joe was not bigger than Rocky he simply had a heavier body and needed to retain alot of fluids because he perspired a great deal during a fight and could easily drain down 8 to 12 pounds during a 12 round bout. I like Rocky by a slight edge. Ray.

My height "statistics" come from standing next to them!
Joe rehydrated to make sure he would not get flat in the middle of a bout. I leaned that from Eddie Futch years ago. My opinion of the sizes of these fighters comes from me meeting them in person. I'm a very good judge of height and weight just as most trainers are! I never shoke Fraziers hand but was at a few functions with him, one with Ali, Louis, Frazier, Ellis and George Fitch a long time sparring partner for Louis. It was a recognition party for Georgie!!
I've met alot of the fighters who fought in the 40 thru the 60s because I was involved in the sport for 40 years and my older brother & father were too!
No one is rewriting anything your info comes from what you've read and mine comes from what I've done! Your welcomed to believe whatever! Ray

UNIVERSITY PARK - A year ago at this time, Penn State's ground game was a big question mark after 2011 leading rusher Silas Redd surprisingly took advantage of the NCAA special transfer rule and took his considerable talent to USC.
It stung Nittany Lion fans for a while. Fewer and fewer are seeing Redd these days, though.
That's because the running backs that stayed in Happy Valley were a more than a sight for sore eyes, and most of them return to have the Penn State running attack looking good for 2013.
"We knew going into last year we didn't have that much experience at the running back position," 5-foot-10, 205-pound junior Bill Belton said. "This year, the tables have turned. Basically, that's where we have a lot of strength."
Bruising 240-pound redshirt junior Zach Zwinak rushed for 1,000 yards and caught 20 passes although he didn't become the starter until week four. Belton, the shifty option quarterback-turned-receiver-turned-halfback, was the starter entering the campaign before his season was hampered by injury, but he still bounced back to turn in a 100-yard rushing performance in the second half of the year against Iowa.
They'll be joined by highly touted redshirt freshman Akeel Lynch, who ran for 83 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries in the spring's Blue-White Game.
It's left Lion coach Bill O'Brien with the pleasant problem of figuring out how to get all of them involved.
"We have three backs there that are good player," O'Brien said at media day on Thursday. "Zwinny obviously is a good player. Akeel Lynch has come in here and had a nice play yesterday on a screen pass. And Billy Belton has already broken a couple runs. He had a nice catch on a flare pass yesterday and had a big gain.
"They're all going to play. All three running backs will play this year."
It should help that each member of Lion rushing triumvirate brings something a little different to the table, allowing them to complement the others well.
"They all have their own niche," Lion running back coach Charles London said. "Zach is kind of our hammer. Billy's a little bit more elusive and can do some things out of the backfield. And Akeel's kind of a mixture of both. I look forward to working with them. I'm just proud of the way they compete. They go out there every day and compete, and they support each other. They know they're all going to have a role on our team and a role in our offense."
It's an interesting mix personality-wise, too. Zwinak is often very low-key, Belton seems to wear his heart on his sleeve, and Lynch is the exuberant youngster.
"We're all different guys. We've all blended together," Lynch said with a laugh. "But we're all teammates, and we all want the best for each other. It's really good."
The fact that each of the three bring something different to the table has allowed Zwinak, Belton and Lynch to play off of each other to improve themselves.
"We all work hard, and we're all learning different aspects to the game. But we help each other a lot. We coach each other. We ask each other for advice," Zwinak said. "It's big, because, as much competition as there is, we strive to get better as a running back group."
The top-rated player at his position in the country coming out of high school in Frederick, Md., Zwinak is a throwback to a day when fullbacks like Larry Csonka pounded the ball at defenses and eventually wore them down. He actually finished with more rushing yards and more catches in 2012 than did Redd at USC.
"Zach is a big, strong guy. He can get the tough yards, but he can take it the distance, too," Belton said of Zwinak, the son of former Virginia Tech player B.J. Zwinak.
Zwinak had six 100-yard rushing efforts last season and enters this year with a string of four in a row. He capped off his sophomore year with a mammoth 36-carry, 175-yard effort in a win over Wisconsin.
Zwinak injured his wrist early in the Blue-White Game and has been wearing the no-contact jersey in early practices, though he said he did all the offseason conditioning and O'Brien said he was fine. It's his second injury at Penn State - he tore his ACL in 2010 - but Zwinak said it won't affect his running style.
"It's just in my personality," Zwinak said, "to run into people."
Belton's last year or so has been full of ups and downs. There was the position switch from wideout to running back, followed by his move to the top of the depth chart only to lose the starting role to Zwinak after missing three games with a sprained ankle. The New Jersey prep product has spent the summer working to improve his grades.
"Everything happens for a reason. I won't say it was a disappointment. I'm just saying that God has a plan. Last year went the way it went, and I'm looking forward to this year," said Belton, who finished with 263 yards on 60 carries. "I'm just looking to come out and play and picking up where I left off."
A member of the "Supa Six" with Allen Robinson, Adrian Amos, Kyle Carter, Deion Barnes and Donovan Smith, Belton was the subject of transfer speculation after the trying last 12 months.
"Those were rumors. Those were rumors," Belton said.
Lynch was all smiles on media day.
"It's exciting to play football at a school you always dreamed about growing up," Lynch said. "I'm definitely excited to get on the field at MetLife Stadium on Aug. 31 against Syracuse.
Lion faithful are excited, too. The Toronto-via-Buffalo product has 214 pounds packed onto his 6-foot frame, perfect for blending power with speed, and reports of his work with the scout team had fans eagerly anticipating his debut. His Blue-White Game performance whetted their appetites.
Lynch welcomed the expectations.
"I believe that pressure makes diamonds. I'll put more pressure on myself this season than anyone else," Lynch said. "It's good to have fan support, and I'm definitely excited to play in front of the fans."
The biggest loss from last year was fullback Michael Zordich. One of the undisputed team leaders, Zordich ranked second on the team in rushing and caught 15 passes. His position will now fall to senior Pat Zerbe and redshirt freshman Dominic Salomone, both of whom came to Penn State as walk-ons.
With O'Brien's tendency to use multiple tight ends and receivers, the Lions probably won't use true fullbacks very much.
"We've very happy with them," London said. "They're both great kids, both very tough kids. They know our offense and the situation. When they are called upon in short yardage, they need to perform."
With a year under their belts learning O'Brien's offense, the running backs are hoping for bigger things in 2013.
"Compared to last year, it's so much easier. Last year, we still were just trying to learn it," Zwinak said. "Now we can jump right in and start running stuff."
"We have a lot of guys returning on offense," Belton said. "This could be a great year for us offensively if we put it all together."

Isiah Moore was named Division II's top offensive lineman Thursday when The Associated Press announced its Northwest Ohio All-District football list.
The 6-4, 285-pound junior was the best offensive lineman for a team that went 10-0 during the regular season for just the second time in school history.
His blocking also paved the way for the Tornadoes to roll up 2,721 yards in the regular season en route to an appearance in the regional semifinals.
Senior teammate Jack Jacoby also landed on the first-team offense, making the list as a running back after compiling 1,480 yards and 19 touchdowns on 196 carries.
Columbian senior Chandler Hoover was named a first-team defensive lineman after making 67 tackles and four sacks. He also had 16 tackles for loss and recovered a fumble for a TD.
Upper Sandusky had a pair of Division IV defensive first-teamers in senior lineman Ian Baker and junior linebacker Tylor Pritchard.
Baker tallied 101 tackles and blocked four punts, while Pritchard had 132 tackles and a two interceptions when not passing for 1,262 yards and rushing for another 802 on offense.
Division V first-team honors went to Hopewell-Loudon senior running back Mark Bouillon and Carey senior defensive back Justin Meek.
Bouillon turned in 1,148 yards and 16 touchdowns on 209 carries, and caught 28 passes for two more scores and 443 yards.
Meek registered 66 tackles and picked off three passes. Eight of his tackles for a loss, and he recorded four sacks and two fumble recoveries.
The Calvert duo of junior Marcus Somers and senior Dan Kwiat earned the area's only two Division VI first-team honors, both on defense.
Somers made the list as a lineman after registering 91 tackles and eight sacks.
Kwiat's nod as a linebacker came by making 104 tackles - 12 for a loss - along with two interceptions and three fumble recoveries.
In area conference matters, Bellevue senior quarterback Jalen Santoro was named the Division III offensive player of the year. He guided the Redmen to a 9-1 mark and a runner-up spot in the Northern Ohio League.
Santoro went 68 of 103 passing for 1,227 yards and 16 touchdowns, while also running 208 times for 1,397 yards and 23 scores. This year marked the second in a row in which he led the NOL in scoring, and he capped his career with 7,213 all-purpose yards and 92 touchdowns.

It's funny when you think about it — how we've come to expect so much from new cars regardless of the size of the vehicle or the brand.
A couple of decades ago, the hope that a small car would at least hold up for a few years was the benchmark for whether or not it was worth the money. Things like design or comfort level didn't really matter much just as long as it didn't feel like the vehicle was going to fall apart on the road.
After all, back then the incentive for buying a smaller car was that they were cheaper, and most were willing to sacrifice a lot for the sake of not having to pay a big car note every month.
These days, we gauge a new small car on everything from its styling to available technology features. In some cases, we even hold them to the same standards as luxury vehicles.
The all new 2013 Dodge Dart offers a lot of what we've come to expect in a small car and more.
Most impressive is how well the compact sedan rides and handles on the road, which is credited to design elements based on the award-winning Alfa Romeo Giulietta, known for its exceptional driving dynamics.
Even on the track the Dart exceeded expectations.
The Dodge Dart is available in three engine options — a new 160 horsepower 2.0-liter engine, a 160 horsepower 1.4-liter turbo engine, and a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.
The 2.0-liter engine with a six-speed manual transmission has an EPA fuel economy rating of 25 mpg city/36 mpg highway. The 1.4-liter with a six-speed manual transmission gets 27 mpg city/39 mpg highway.
Dodge will also introduce a Dodge Dart "Aero" model later this year that will get at least 41 mpg on the highway.
Even more impressive is the Dart's interior.
Crafted with the kind of materials and technology typically found in more expensive vehicle segments, you quickly forget that you're driving a compact car when you're behind the wheel.
The centerpiece of the Dart is the floating island bezel, which houses an available 7-inch LED customizable gauge cluster display with light pipe surround that also houses the Uconnect Touch 8.4-inch touch screen Media Center — the largest touch screen in its class.
Customization was a major factor in all of the design elements of the new Dodge Dart, with the availability of 12 exterior colors, 14 interior color and trim combinations, six wheel options, three engine options and three transmissions.
Mopar offers more than 150 customization options and themed packages specifically developed for the vehicle.
Designed to appeal to the need for personal mobility, the Dart's glove box is able to conceal a stowed iPad. The center console features auxiliary jacks to plug in electronic devices and there's a number of compartments for storing mobile phones, receipts, or pens and paper.
In Lighting in all the right places provides drivers and passengers a warm, comfortable cockpit. Available "racetrack" lighting surrounds the floating island bezel. Ambient lighting for the door handles, map pockets, foot wells, glove box, storage bin and illuminated cup holders is useful and provides a warm atmosphere inside the vehicle.
Pricing starts at $16,790 for the Dart SE model, $18,790 for the Dart SXT, and $19,790 for the Dart Rallye.
The top of the line Dart Limited costs $20,790.
It's the Dart's exterior design, however, that leaves me…how can I put this? …a little confused.
The rear view which features the Charger-inspired "racetrack" full-width taillamp with 152 indirect glow LEDs (love that), and available dual exhausts mounted in the rear fascia (a class-exclusive) is definitely the car's best profile.
But the front view which features a fast sloping hood gives the car a somewhat odd road presence, especially when compared to the more aggressive front fascias of other vehicles in the Dodge line-up like the Charger and Durango.
Dodge notes that the front design helps for "smooth airflow," which makes sense when it comes to achieving benchmarks in area like fuel efficiency. But the compact's design doesn't quite evoke the same feelings on the road as other Dodge vehicles, even with its Charger-inspired cross hair grille.
For another brand, the front face of the Dart probably wouldn't bother me as much, but for a Dodge it comes across a bit soft.
Then again, maybe it's just a reminder that even with all the progress made, at times we're all still subject to some compromises.

Jewelry always brings ladies out of the woodwork!
Some may be interested in learning to make it, but a lot are excited about wearing it! I'm guilty as the next lady…I love me some sparkles! Our pendant project brought a lot of enthusiasm out of Craft Ninjas this month…so much so that we had inquiries on tutorials and materials.
We're always psyched to share our ideas with you. A big part of learning about a project is teaching it and I learned so much from all of you!
Take a look at the photos to see all the lovely, hard working Ninjas that came to our domino pendant project! Also, peep their fine handy work! They're all amazing pendant makers. It's just a fact.
As usual, we can't thank Three Kings enough for allowing us the space to craft, drink cocktails, and have a blast! They're our home away from home and we love them.
And we'll be posting a tutorial for this project on the Kunoichi Craft Events website soon…so, stay tuned!

Beverly man mixes new wildlife feed
July 10, 2013
It has been said the mother of invention is necessity, and that was how a new Elkins business was conceive....
Not even taking into account that there are too many deer for the environmental carrying capacity in some areas of the state, I would like to know if any one of these geniuses even consulted with real wildlife experts on whether or not this seed mix is non-native and invasive. "Meat and potatoes for deer" is all that matters I guess. Screw the environment. WV always has.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The Truckee region is currently under both a flood warning and winter storm warning as colder temperatures begin to settle into the area, according to the National Weather Service.
Major flooding is still possible Sunday for the Truckee River near Truckee, according to the NWS flood warning that remains in effect until 10 a.m. Monday.
"Showers will continue into the afternoon, but most of the precipitation is expected to end by tonight, according to NWS. "However, additional flooding is possible in the vicinity of creeks, streams and rivers as water levels will continue to rise into Monday.
"In addition, rock and mud slides and debris flows will continue to be a threat over the next several days."
In preparation for Truckee River flooding that officials say could impact various riverfront homes along Highway 89 and in downtown Truckee, the American Red Cross and local emergency agencies have set up an evacuation center.
The center, located in the Administration Building of the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District at 11603 Donner Pass Road, opened at 6 a.m. Sunday and remain open as long as needed, according to the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services. The Red Cross will provide refreshments, and updated storm information will be available at the center.
To get updated recorded information on the center, residents can call 855-212-1866, a toll-free number set up by the Nevada County Office of Emergency Services.
The center will transition to an overnight shelter Sunday night if there is a need. The town of Truckee and the Placer County Office of Emergency Services also are assisting with the evacuation center.
Officials are urging locals to be cautious over the next couple days, and to not drive into areas where the water covers the roadway.
"A flood warning means flooding is occurring or is imminent. Most flood-related deaths occur in automobiles," according to NWS. "Do not attempt to cross water-covered bridges, dips or low water crossings. Never try to cross a flowing stream, even a small one, on foot."
As of 10 a.m. Sunday, NWS also has issued a winter storm warning until 4 p.m. Sunday for the Truckee/Tahoe basin as a cold front moves quickly into the area.
The cold front will drop snow levels below 7,000 feet Sunday morning, with periods of heavy snow into the afternoon. The storm is expected to bring 10 to 16 inches of snow above 7000 feet, with 4 to 8 inches at lake level. Above 8,000 feet, 2 feet or more of snow is expected.
"Heavy snow and gusty winds will create periods of whiteout conditions over the higher passes of the Tahoe Basin," according to NWS. "Motorists should expect hazardous driving conditions at times around the Tahoe Basin into the afternoon."
According to the Truckee Police Department, self-serve sandbags are available at the Truckee Fire Protection District Station 92, at 11473 Donner Pass Road; and the Truckee Ranger Station Parking lot at 10811 Stockrest Spring.
On the North Shore, through Placer County, sandbags are available at the following locations: North Tahoe Fire Station 52, 288 North Shore Blvd., Kings Beach; Placer County Department of Public Works Corporation Yard, 2501 North Lake Blvd., Tahoe City; Old Squaw Valley Fire Station, 1810 Squaw Valley Road, Olympic Valley; Northstar Community Services District Corporation Yard, 50 Trimont Lane off Northstar Boulevard near Northstar California; and North Tahoe Fire Station 53, 5425 West Lake Blvd., Homewood.
Storm Information will be updated as information becomes available at the following websites:

Tuesday, April 30, 2013
A woman drove her Cadillac to the police station to report that an auto body shop may have taken parts out of her car and replaced them with old worn out parts. She said she took her car in to have her window repaired. She paid for the service and when she drove off she noticed some interior details were different.
For example, her front seat belts had been replaced with old smelly ones, she said.
She said the center console and floor mats were removed and replaced.
She told the officer she would get a value on the missing inventory so she could make a full report.
A woman got a text message from her niece's old phone number. The sender called her Aunt Su and said they had been hit in the mouth, causing all of their teeth to fall out. The sender said she was at daddy's and they have a gun.
The aunt made contact with her niece who said she was fine and not at her dad's.
The aunt then called police.
An officer called the old phone number and left a voice mail telling the person not to call the number again.
The officer then spoke to the niece and she said she had just called her old number and a drunk male answered.
When she asked about the text message, he hung up.
She explained to the officer that there have been several occasions where her friends will call the old number by accident and a man would answer the phone.
They were told to block the number for now until she could contact her cell phone provider.
A man called police to his home because his laptop was frozen. On the screen was a message that said the U.S. Department of Justice had frozen his computer because he had viewed child pornography. The message said he had to buy a special money card for $450 to unlock the computer.
The laptop owner was told by the officer that this was a scam because the department of justice investigates and arrests individuals caught viewing child pornography. The officer told the man that offenders would not be let off the hook for $450. The man agreed with the officer.
A 24-year-old man got pulled by Berkeley County officers and charged with DUI. Amazingly, they allowed his father to come pick him up, rather than requiring him to spend the night in jail.
But rather than be grateful for this turn of events, the 24-year-old kid began arguing with his father about getting his keys, wallet and car back. Of course his father wasn't about to hand these items over to his son until his son sobered up, according to a police report.
But the son would not let it go, and the father ended up calling Mount Pleasant police to calm the argument.
Officers were able to talk both parties down and left the two to go to sleep for the night. But 10 minutes later they were called back because the argument escalated again.
After another lecture the two agreed to separate for the night.
An officer driving down Mathis Ferry Road passed an oncoming vehicle. The driver of that vehicle threw something out of the window that hit the officer's windshield. The officer turned around and followed the vehicle.
Before the officer flipped on the blue lights, the driver of that vehicle stopped in the middle of the road, according to the report.
The officer stopped behind the car which still did not move. At this point the blue lights went on and the vehicle remained stopped. The officer made contact with the driver and explained the reason for the stop. The officer asked what it was that he threw out, and the man said it was a burrito and that he did not mean to hit the officer's car.
While speaking, the officer noticed drug paraphernalia in the man's car, according to the report.
The man said he was a recovering addict and admitted to recently smoking marijuana and K Spice in his car.
The man admitted to pot being in the vehicle. He seemed nervous, according to the report and kept putting his hands in his pockets, even after the officer asked him not to do so.
He accidently pulled out the baggie he was trying to hide and when the man realized what he had done, he handed it over to the officer.
The illegal items in his car and on his person were confiscated and he was arrested for simple possession of drug paraphernalia and litter thrown by a person in a vehicle.
He was then allowed to leave and wait for his court date.
A man was sitting with a friend on the porch of a local bar when an acquaintance walked up. He came up from behind, put both hands on the man's shoulders and said "hey buddy." But then he started punching the man in the head and neck.
The man went to stand up and defend himself, but according to a report, fell over, hit his head on the ground and then got kicked in the head four or five times.
Witnesses relayed the same information to police, saying it seemed totally random.
But the victim told police he knew who had done it.
The victim said he does not know any more about what happened other than overhearing someone nearby saying, "that's what he gets for being a snitch."
The victim said that earlier in the year the suspect bought pot from him and his friend but ended up holding them up and robbing them at gunpoint, the reported stated.
A police report was made in that incident but no suggestion was made in the report that the two incidents were related.
The suspect was nowhere to be found at the time of the report.
The Police Blotter is intended to be an informative and/or humorous column written from police reports obtained from the Mount Pleasant Police Department. Many of the stories come from the initial incident reports and, occasionally, supplemental reports. Generally, cases have not been adjudicated at the time of publication.

- Over a third (36%) of Brits admit they spend more time socialising via their social networks compared to face-to-face
- Almost a third (28%) have exaggerated or lied about who they've met or what they've done on their social networks, with over one in ten (11%) also confessing their online friendships are solely about looking cool and interesting
- A third (32%) of Brits have more friends online than off, albeit half (47%) believe online friendships are more superficial and less meaningful
- However, a third (33%) of people confess they are more likely to speak to people they don't know over a social network compared to face-to-face with over quarter (26%) feeling more confident online
A new study commissioned by Badoo, the world's largest social network for meeting new people, today reveals 36% of Brits admit they spend more time socialising through social networks than they do in the real world. This research aims to highlight to the nation the importance of keeping a healthy balance between online and offline social interaction.
Working with Emma Kenny, industry renowned psychologist, the poll of over 6,000 people including 2,000 Brits investigates social habits in the UK and delves into how social networks are affecting our social lives. As a nation, social networks appear to bolster people's confidence (26%) and help facilitate new friendships (33%); but at what cost? Over a quarter (27%) of Brits admit they get lonely, yet over one in ten (16%) prefer to engage in text or online contact, rather than face-to-face interaction or chatting via the telephone.
By launching this study, Badoo and Ms Kenny want to encourage people to use their social networks to instigate conversations and friendships, but not to live vicariously online ensuring people are still meeting up face-to-face.
There appears to be a number of reasons that people have taken to socialising online over offline with the opportunity to make ourselves more interesting and the ability to embellish the truth being prominent factors. Over one in ten (11%) Brits admit their online friendships are solely about looking cool and interesting, with 28% confessing to have exaggerated or lied about who they've met or what they've done.
Emma Kenny, psychologist, commented: "It's important that people don't become so obsessed with their online persona that they lose touch with reality or miss out on real-life events which the research shows us is becoming the case; 17% of Brits have missed key events such as a child's stage or sporting performance and a baby's first steps due to trying to capture it on their phone or camera purely for their social network.
Whilst of course social networks are a positive addition to our lives and can boost confidence and help people stay in touch, it's essential that people don't lose sight of socialising together and the importance of face-to-face, real-life interaction."
Amy Mills, a spokesperson for Badoo, which commissioned the study, adds: "This research highlights the importance of having a healthy balance between online and offline social interaction. 70% of Badoo users tell us they're there to chat and make new friends and so it's fantastic to see this study showing social networks provide a boost in confidence to approach new people. At Badoo, our goal is to help people meet in the real world: about 48% of conversations on Badoo end up with people connecting offline."
In summary there are clear pros and cons of social networks according to our research:
- A third (33%) of Brits acknowledge they'd be more likely to be speak to new people over a social networking site compared to face-to-face
- Over quarter (26%) of Brits feel more confident interacting online
- A fifth (21%) of those studied believe they'll be able to make more friends online Vs offline
- Social networks act as a great tool to share good news to friends and family as half (49%) of those studied have broadcast events such as pregnancy, birth, marriage or their engagement
- Brits agree that the best thing about social networks are that they are a great way to stay in touch with people who live far away (79%), to track down old acquaintances (72%), as well as an answer for encouraging shy (42%) and lonely (43%) people to make new friends
- Half (47%) of those studied believe online friendships are more superficial and less meaningful
- Social networks appear to encourage phony friendships as a third (32%) of Brits confess to having more friends online than off
- 20% of people have cancelled arrangements with friends, as well as a fifth (20%) even had arguments or disagreements with people rather than face-to-face
- A quarter of (24%) of UK adults confess they accept 'friend requests' from people they aren't really interested in and don't particularly even like
- A quarter (24%) of Brits have shared bad news about a death or a divorce online
Badoo will be debating the topic of social lives Vs social networks at the Cambridge Union on Wednesday 25th April with the motion; 'This house believes social networks detrimental to one's social life.' Guest speakers include comedian Rufus Hound and psychologist Emma Kenny.

As North America's largest and most trusted mosquito elimination and tick control brand, Mosquito Squad specializes in eliminating both mosquitoes and ticks from outdoor living spaces so that Americans can enjoy their yards, outdoor events, and outdoor living and dining spaces. Recognized as the country's 13th fastest growing franchise concept by INC. Magazine, Mosquito Squad is America's largest mosquito and tick control brand, with over 125 locations nationwide.
Now in its third year of business, Mosquito Squad of the Lowcountry serves residents throughout the area. Mary Anna Lewis offers the following tips for eliminating mosquitoes from local yards:
1. Tip. Reduce standing water to eliminate mosquito threats, including those underneath and around downspouts, in plant saucers and dog bowls.
2. Toss. Excess grass, leaves, piles, fire wood.
3. Turn. Turn over larger items like children's sandboxes, wagons or plastic toys.
4. Remove tarp. If tarps stretched over firewood piles, boats or sports equipment aren't taut, they're holding water.
5. Treat. Utilize a mosquito elimination barrier treatment around the home and yard. Using a barrier treatment at home reduces the need for using DEET-containing bug spray. Mosquito Squad's eliminates up to 90% of the mosquitoes and ticks on a property.
Rockin' on the porch, touch football games and grilling out are Lowcountry fall traditions. Mosquito Squad, North America's largest and most trusted mosquito elimination and tick control brand, is ready to help Lowcountry residents make the time they spend outside even more enjoyable.
Owned by long-time locals, Mary Anna and David Lewis, Mosquito Squad specializes in eliminating mosquitoes and ticks from outdoor living spaces, allowing Americans to enjoy their yards, outdoor living spaces, special events and green spaces. Now in its third season serving the Charleston area, Mosquito Squad provides a barrier spray service that eliminates 85 to 90 percent of outdoor pests for up to three weeks.
"Parents want their kids to be able to play outside without getting eaten alive. Our barrier spray treatments can provide a consistent level of coverage so that homeowners and their guests can enjoy mosquito-free days and nights," says Mary Anna Lewis.
Mosquito Squad has been named as one of the country's fastest growing franchise concepts in 2012 and 2011 by INC. Magazine. "We recognized the opportunity to finally bring an affordable, effective answer to an age-old question in our area-how do we get rid of mosquitoes? We love telling people we have a 100% percentsatisfaction/money-back guarantee because folks can use us completely risk-free.'
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the country's first case of West Nile Virus was reported in Mississippi in early April. Last year, 5,387 cases of West Nile were reported with 243 deaths. West Nile is spread only via the bite of an infected mosquito. Incidents of Lyme disease, spread via ticks, have increased as well, with more than 32,000 confirmed and probable cases reported in 2012, up from 22,000 in 2011. Dogs are also susceptible to Lyme disease.

I had an old True Writer pen that I received as a gift 12 years ago. It had been put away for several years, and when I came back to it, the sleeve that holds the nib was falling apart. I got in touch with customer service, and they simply had me send back the pen and they gave me credit for it. 12 years! That's a pretty amazing warranty.Anyway, I bought the L-Tech Stealth with the credit. While I read some good reviews, I was still apprehensive about the non-traditional design.I do not like gaudy, or overly-pretentious anythings. I look like enough of a snob when I say, "I like to write with fountain pens." I do not then need the pen itself to look like I spent the mortgage on it! Maybe, then, I am a utilitarian snob. Form follows function, that sort of thing.I love the design of the L-Tech Stealth. I like to hold it in my hand, I like to run my fingers over it. I like it when it catches in the corner of my eye- I just have to divert to it.The weight is fantastic. Again, not overly pretentious, more like "solid."I do like that you can post the cap, and that when you do post it you can line it up with the ridges of the barrel. That said though, it can be uncomfortable to do that for short jots. It becomes top-heavy. It is actually fine to post, or not, for long writing as I hold my hand differently (apparently) for long versus short.I have one item that I have not decided about. The cap takes slightly more turning than expected to remove. This also means that to put it fully on, it needs about 1 full turn. Obviously I do not want to keep the nib exposed when I put the pen down as it will dry out, so I would normally cap it. I have been experimenting with putting the cap on and giving a very slight twist. So far, it seems that this is sufficient to prevent drying out for a temporary break (I have done this up to 20 minutes, with no drying out). So while I originally thought it was inconvenient, I am now leaning more towards it being a feature. Namely, the cap is very secure, and will not come off in my pocket by accident, and that you do not need to screw it down all the way to take a break.On to writing. I bought it with a fine nib. I have heard two main things regarding Levenger nibs- A) they are often hard starters and/or do not write smoothly, and B) a fine is more like a medium. I wholeheartedly disagree with A. It writes very smoothly. I am currently using J Herbin Violette Pensee ink. Incredibly smooth, very beautiful. Does not write particularly wet, but certainly not dry either, very happy medium. I do agree with B. This is by most accounts a medium line. For me, not an issue, as I wanted a medium line, and got what I was expecting. If this is a bother to you, you can get a nib ground to whatever size you want after-market, or you can purchase an interchangeable nib elsewhere (I do not want to be too blasphemous and suggest on this site), but a little creative searching will yield great results. I feel that I do not need to tune it at all at this time.Really great pen, 'nuff said.

Beautiful but...
Don't get me wrong, the thing is gorgeous and really, really well weighted, but I've had nothing but issues with it since I got it. It doesn't like to write no matter what...Read complete review
Don't get me wrong, the thing is gorgeous and really, really well weighted, but I've had nothing but issues with it since I got it. It doesn't like to write no matter what I try. I feel like the nib wasn't 100% calibrated when it left the factory.Short of filing or bending the nib myself, I've tried everything and still have issues.

L-tech Stealth is excellent
By SteveinAZ
from Undisclosed
Back in college (20+ years ago), I always used a fountain pen. The Parker 25 is the one I directly recall. Then for some odd reason, I stopped using one in grad school.This year (2013), I decided to do more handwriting instead of doing everything on the computer and then printing. So I have been searching for the right fountain pen and ink. I've went through several Lamys and Pilots. Although great pens, they didn't quite do it for me.I was about ready to try a TWSBI 580 when sbrebrown reviewed the L-tech Stealth. When I saw the pen and writing sample, I was convinced this was the pen I've been looking for at the right price point.I have been writing with this pen for about a week with Iroshizuku kon-peki ink, and the pen is fabulous! It's a heavy solid pen so writing unposted gives it perfect balance for me. The M nib is super smooth and virtually silent. It has a whisper of audible feedback which I like. The ink flow is thick and continuous. On Doane paper, the ink soaks through the page. On Rhodia, the ink line is finer. I like the effect on both paper types.The seven-sided design looks super sharp. The clip has the right amount of spring and holds the heavy pen well. The knurled grip and diameter are perfect and very comfortable. The converter works well and doesn't get ink-locked, so I have not had to prime the pen by using the piston--very nice.But I really want to open up the cap and see a gold nib!Great pen, and my year long search looks over!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

An Excellent Value
By PensWoods
from West Chester, PA
This weighty pen, 50g capped, is a fun fountain pen to use. The 7 sided fountain pen has a screw on cap that is well balanced uncapped when writing. I like the smooth medium nib that lays down about a 0.7mm - 0.8mm wide juicy line.The high clip allows me to wear the pen in my shirt pocket almost flush with the pocket top. I find the knurled nib section comfortable to hold, allowing me to write with this pen all day.In conclusion, I find writing with this L-Tech Stealth pen quite enjoyable!

Inexpensive but a great pen nonetheless
By szeducate
from Long Island, New York
I wanted an inexpensive fountain pen to use when I did not want to take one of my more expensive ones outside of my home. I bought this one since it was under $100 and I have not been dissappointed. Feels nice to write with in your hand, and writes smoothly on the paper. I love it.
Fantastic pen!
By Sbebo
As I type this, I have used the L-Tech Stealth Fountain Pen for a little over two months now. I purchased it with the fine-sized nib. The pen arrived quickly, within a week.First off, the weight of this pen is great. Without the cap attached to the back, the pen is heavy enough to feel sturdy in your hands, but not so heavy that it impedes writing. Once you attach the cap though, the pen feels unbalanced. The cap feels almost as heavy as the pen itself!The nib writes very well, and simply glides across paper. One point to make is that even though I chose the fine-size, the width of the writing looks almost like a medium. It is much thicker than I expected.Besides that, I like how the barrel allows for an extra cartridge to be stored. This is incredibly convenient.Other than that, the pen looks fantastic and receives compliments whenever I use it.
By AlexH
from Florida
I have a couple of Lamy fountain pens so I decided to spend a little more and try one of these out. I absolutely love it!The weight of this pen is extremely satisfying while writing, and to me is it's most distinctive feature - not too heavy that it is burdensome to write with. The all black design looks clean and simple.I got the fine nib based on reviews of the thickness and found it to be quite similar to my Lamy F nibs, not very thin. It writes perfectly first time every time with no scratching or jumping.My only *small* issue with the pen is the cardboard box it comes in, although sturdy and elegant, feels a little cheap.Overall I am extremely satisfied with this pen and I'll be buying the silver/grey version in the future.
Understated Beauty!
By Genoli
from San Juan, PR
The weight and flow of the pen is outstanding. I can see why it has received such high praises. Very happy with the purchase. I still need to get used to writing with it as it is my first incursion into the world of fountain pens. And, this has been the best introduction to it!
Great Fountain Pen
By RGSTL
Fountain pens have a way of becoming an extension of mind and body. The L-Tech does this in its own way. Writing with it offers a different level of physicality. Maybe it's the weight and muted masculinity of the seven sided brass barrel. As a writing tool the L-Tech provides a raw earthy experience as ink and words flow across the page. From jeans to journal the L-Tech makes a bold statement. It's my new Every Day Carry.
Favorite daily use pen
By Bruce
from Watertown, WI
I own several fountain pens, but this one is my favorite. It writes perfectly every time with no splotches. It's easy to fill, feels very comfortable, and is solidly constructed. I also love the looks of this pen and get a lot of comments about it.So far, I've used several types of ink in the pen -- specifically Parker Quink and Diamine -- and the nib handles them perfectly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer not good Don't like product and would not recommend product to anyone, September 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by El Hefe Just perfect I purchased this for my daughter and she loves it. It quickly removes hair with very little effort. April 30, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Thoughts Really great features This product has really great features! There's a two-pivoting position of the blades whereby they flip to a horizontal or vertical position really easily. I like that the blade is washable and they even include a cleaning brush. The product is small and easily transportable. I also really love the color. The razor is great because it gets in those "hard to reach" places easier than other products. September 18, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by DoubleZed Awesome idea but falls flat! I was so excited about this product and the design. What an amazing idea to have the pivoting blade in that compact design so you can take it anywhere, the gym or a business trip, and not have to wait to shower in order to shave. Unfortunately, the shave is not close at all even on thin hairs. I had to go over spots multiple times and when I got to areas that may have slightly thicker hairs like the underarms, it just didn't shave anything at all. My husband was also psyched when he saw this product because, if it worked well, this would be the perfect shaver and save tons of money on blades. He was just as disappointed as I was when the product didn't work at all on his facial hair. I hope they improve the blade, because the ease of use and cleaning is amazing! Great concept but needs improvement! September 9, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by NJ Momma Not so great I'm not thrilled with this item. I was excited to have an option to shave without being in the shower and without using a regular razor which typically causes painful razor burn on my legs. With regard to the specific features: Dual-position pivoting blade - this is a cool feature but I don't think it makes a difference because it doesn't get the blade any closer - just changes the angle at which you get at whatever area you're shaving Quality of blade – closeness of shave - It's not great - I always miss spots on my knees when shaving with a regular razor so I was hoping this would help me get any stray hairs, but it didn't even trim them, let alone shave them flat. Portable design - it's a nice small size, it would be perfect to carry in a purse, carry-on, or even keep in your car Dry Shave – Washable - I love that I can use it to dry shave without irritation, but it's not a replacement for a regular razor blade in terms of closeness of shave. I haven't been able to fully clean the head with rinsing and the included brush - I feel like I'm still missing getting some hairs out. August 31, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Cheaper than Blades The biggest pro about this product is that it can potentially save you hundreds of dollars in expensive replacement blades. However, the shave isn't as close as it would be with a conventional razor blade. I have to go over my legs at least two or three times before I'm satisfied (and even then I don't feel like my skin is as smooth as I'd like it to be). I'll probably use this more in the winter when I don't feel the need to have such a close shave. It is very easy to use since the blade could be used in either a vertical or horizontal position and it is very light and portable making it easy to bring along wherever you may need to take it. It is also washable but the hair doesn't come out of the blade that easily; it takes a few minutes with some good water pressure to get it clean. August 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Inna D. Great for Touch-ups This product was given to me as a gift. This is a to-go shaver with a very neat and nice looking carrying case about the size of small flashlight. This shaver is perfect for the small touch-up spots or missed after shower shaving spots. This shaver is for dry shaving only, which is good when I am on the go and notice a spot that is visible to others. The blade though can be cleaned under water. The shaving head turns so I can use it horizontally or vertically. I keep this shaver in my bag now and use it whenever I realize that I missed a spot. The only thing that I need to remember is to have a battery for this shaver. August 26, 2013

BELLWOOD - And, then there were none.
Bellwood-Antis, the final unbeaten boys' basketball team in the Mirror-coverage area, suffered its first loss Saturday night, falling to Bishop Guilfoyle, 57-54, before a packed house at the B-AHS gym.
Noah Davis, the Blue Devils' one-man wrecking crew, poured in 35 points, but it wasn't enough to offset the balanced Marauders, who had six players score between six and 14 points.
It was the first loss in 13 games for Bellwood. Guilfoyle improved to 11-2 with its fourth win of the week.
"It wasn't a good one was it?" B-A coach Brent Gerwert said. "Coming in 12-0, we knew we had a task in front of us.
"To BG's credit, they came down and did exactly what they had to do, and we didn't play like we normally do."
BG coach Chris Drenning, on the other hand, was excited about his team's play.
"What a great atmosphere," Drenning said of the big crowd. "I told the kids we're not perfect by any stretch but we're going to keep working toward it.
"I'm proud of the kids," Drenning continued,"and I'm proud of how hard they've worked. We've had 13 games and they show up to play every day."
In his first year as BG coach, Drenning has made good use of his bench, playing 10 or more players each night. Last night, 11 Marauders saw action and seven scored.
Senior guard Pat Irwin made 6-of-10 free throws in the fourth quarter and led the way with 14 points. Brandon Drenning, the coach's son, finished with 13, thanks to three 3s. Drenning nailed a pair of treys and two free throws in the fourth quarter when the Marauders kept the Blue Devils at arm's length.
Damon Rickens came off the bench for nine points - all in the second half. Zach Patterson scored seven in the third quarter while C.J. Fulare and Sam McCloskey chipped in with six apiece.
"I think that's who we are," Chris Drenning said of his team's balance. "I like that, especially in the playoffs when teams have to gameplan for you. If you have several options, you're tough to stop."
The game was tied at 11-all after one quarter and Irwin's driving layup at the buzzer gave BG a 22-19 advantage at the half. The Marauders led the entire second half, although Noah Davis' efforts kept it interesting. The 6-foot-6 Davis scored 26 points in the second half, hitting 10-of-12 shots, including three 3s in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to overcome BG's balance.
"Damon is explosive offensively," Chris Drenning said of Rickens, whose three baskets in the third quarter helped BG extend its lead. "When we went to Central Cambria the other night, we had a kid out and Rickens scored 17 points.
"If he hits his first shot, he can be dangerous," Drenning noted. "Plus, he also rebounds the ball well. I know what he can do offensively, but his defensive rebounding is really improving.
"He'd start for a ton of teams, but he's really valuable coming off the bench for us."
Rickens, a 6-1 junior, likes his role as a reserve.
"I like coming off the bench," Rickens said. "When I get in, I do whatever I can to help my team win. I love that Coach Drenning believes in me and, when he calls my number, I do my best."
Rickens expected a tough match last night.
"We knew it was going to be a loud environment here," Rickens said. "We wanted to start strong because we've had problems with that this year.
"We were 3-0 on the week coming here and we wanted to show everyone we're for real this year."
Despite the first loss, Gerwert said there's no time to sulk because the Blue Devils play again Monday (Claysburg-Kimmel) and Tuesday (at Everett).
"We have to get someone other than Noah involved [in our offense,]" Gerwert said. "We only had four people score tonight and, in a big game, that's not going to do it.
"It wasn't from a lack of effort, but when the buzzer sounded, we were down three points."

Graham, NC -- The Alamance County sheriff isn't giving up the fight against the US Department of Justice and its racial profiling accusations.
Sheriff Terry Johnson's personal attorney fired off a response to last week's report from the DOJ that alleged Johnson and the Alamance County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) targeted Latino drivers for traffic stops and that they routinely locate checkpoints just outside Latino neighborhoods.
Read Full Copy of USDOJ Investigation Findings
In a seven-page legal response to Thomas Perez, the assistant attorney general for the DOJ, Johnson and his attorney said the DOJ's report is full of factual inaccuracies and devoid of specifics. The response prepared by Turrentine Law Firm out of Raleigh also states that Perez's report is "fatally flawed" in terms of accusations that the sheriff and deputies violated laws of the United States.

The act of several friends/co-workers/people taking turns shitting in a toilet without flushing in between. The shit is then left for an unsuspecting victim to walk into (this is perfect for bosses or your friends' girlfriends). The ideal dumpstack includes throwing the used toilet paper in the trash instead of the toilet so as not to cover the awesomeness of the stacked shit. Must include at least three dumps to constitute a stack.
"Man when Carl comes in tomorrow he's gonna find the most wicked dumpstack of all time. There's at least five dumps in that toilet right now."
"I hate Billy's girlfriend. I say we give her toilet a dumpstack at her party Friday."

A dump stack is achieved by eating a meal that pushes out a lingering dump in your innards. The pressure on the existing dump caused by the ingestion of the meal gives the push needed to clear things out.

The National Championship Air Races and Airshow will once again be held at Reno Stead Airfield in Reno, Nev. Scheduled for September 14 to 18, this is the last pylon racing event in the world, where seven classes of aircraft race around the course–sometimes at more than 500 mph.
The show will include performances by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds demonstration team, the USAF F-22 Raptor and the Navy Parachute Team. Also on hand will be civilian aerobatic pilots, who will no doubt dazzle show-goers with their outside loops, square loops, torque rolls and double snap rolls. Finally, who could pass up a chance to watch the ShockWave Jet Truck race airplanes at more than 300 mph?
For the true enthusiast, a trip to the Pits is in order. There you can roam among the aircraft and interact with the pilots and crews.
Corporate chalets and hospitality options are available.

5 Alcohol Ads That Confirm Your Worst Fears About Drinking
#2. Harveys Bristol Cream Proves That Alcohol Lowers Your Inhibitions
Quick, ask your dad if he's familiar with Harveys Bristol Cream. If he says yes, ask how. If he says it was your mom's favorite drink back when he met her, I have terrible news: Your mom was probably a bit of a slut. I assume this to be the case because, back when this disgusting liqueur ruled the land, its commercials made one thing absolutely clear: Harveys Bristol Cream is a drink for chicks with loose morals.
The commercial posted above is one of the early entries in this most questionable of ad campaigns. It kicks off with a woman calling a guy named Michael, a man she clearly does not know too well, to inform him that she'd like to come over and "leave a little something under [his] tree."
"That something is my vagina, and that tree is your penis."
At around the 0:10 mark, she explains that, while you may take what she's doing as slutty, the stuffy judgments of the past fly out the window as long as you've got a bottle of the Brist' to bring along. After all, it's not like a gentleman can just not bang a chick who brings over a bottle of booze. That's in the same rulebook as "Puff puff pass" and "No double-dipping." It's basic etiquette. Keep that in mind before you go calling this liquor-empowered woman of the '70s something untoward.
Harveys didn't stop there with the glorifying of questionable choices. Take this baffling ad, for example:
It was made sometime in the '80s and takes a bold look into the future of love in the '90s, capturing with almost creepy accuracy how much we'd all eventually hate this guy and his stupid hair just from looking at his jerk face:
"In my spare time, I wax chumps like a candle."
Good news, though -- his date isn't much better, and the waiter knows it.
It's not made explicitly clear, but I gather from watching this clip that the waiter's look of concern has something to do with the fact that the woman accompanying Melrose Place Ken on his date has just produced what appears to be some kind of covert roofie lemon that she picked up at a spy shop for the purpose of spiking the drinks of her unsuspecting dates.
But it takes a date rapist to know a date rapist. Seeing that he's about to be drugged and taken advantage of, our hero does the only thing you can do in that situation.
He gives his date a little rape juice of her own. Recognizing that they no longer need to worry about who will take advantage of whom, the couple simply carry on with their date after sharing the most aggressive toast in television history.
"To sexual assault!"
And the commercial isn't even done! There's also a ridiculous bit with a woman who insists on wearing sunglasses indoors, which was 1980s code for "does a shit-ton of cocaine" ...
"Ask me about blowing Robert Downey Jr. on the set of Less Than Zero!"
... who, with a straight face, describes Harveys Bristol Cream as "upper-crusty" before another creeper takes the screen and delivers the line that made this commercial legendary in its day:
"Mine has a bigger torture dungeon ... just putting it out there."
#1. Sylvester Stallone and Russian Ice Vodka Prove That Alcohol Makes You Racist
We just told you that simply looking at alcohol makes you a little bit racist. The operative words there, of course, are "a little bit." You're obviously not going to start burning crosses and ruining your good sheets just because you slam a Coors Light in the parking lot before work. But still, the science is there -- alcohol kind of makes you racist. And if you don't believe science, maybe you'll believe Sylvester Stallone instead.
In this bizarre ad for Russian Ice vodka, Sly simply runs down a mildly stereotypical telling of the origins of some of his favorite things. On the one hand, it plays as Rambo assuring you that his taste is the sophisticated kind. After all, he drinks coffee from Brazil ...
He IS rich!
... and wears suits from Italy:
They were buy-one-get-ten-free at the "every suit looks the same" store.
And that's great; nobody is going to be offended by having it stated that their country leads the way in fine coffee and suitery. But at some point, the things being associated with the respective countries start getting increasingly less flattering. Like when we're told that, obviously, his laptop comes from China.
Built from the finest 18-hour workdays available.
As for his lunatic tourist fans? Japan, of course.
Rented from Gwen Stefani.
By the time he tells us that his assistant is "German and efficient" ...
"And probably one of those lesbians."
... you're just hoping that there isn't a gardener or favorite rapper on the list still waiting to have their place of origin discussed. But there isn't, only an assurance that no matter what part of the world Sylvester Stallone's favorite things come from, his friends will always be one thing:
White and from Beverly Hills. As for what this all has to do with vodka, it's simple. Sly's attitude, according to him, is all from his Russian grandmother. And if you know your stereotypes, you know that Russian people drink vodka. And because you know that, you know about half of what you need to embark upon a career in marketing.

School security is a national concern. Throughout the United States, youth crime and violence threaten to undermine the safety of our students' learning environment. Since the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) represents a cross-section of Americana, all partners in our community education process must understand and support the principles underlying a safe and secure learning environment as applied to creating a safe school. The underlying principles all relate to student rights to a safe and secure learning environment free from the threat or fear of physical violence; free from drugs, alcohol, weapons and other prohibited items; free from hazing, bullying or intimidation; and free from gang or criminal activity.
The Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) follows guidance for the Department of Defense and also issues instructions and policies concerning our schools. DoDEA Regulation 2051.1, Disciplinary Rules and Procedures April 4, 2008 outlines student conduct expectations and disciplinary consequences that may be invoked when the conduct of a student poses an immediate threat to his/her safety or the safety of others in the school. These student conduct expectations apply to student conduct that is:
Violence, threats of violence, prohibited items, gang or criminal behavior, and bullying or intimidation will not be tolerated. Perpetrating a bomb threat or complicity in the act is grounds for expulsion. Additionally, local military regulations and laws may authorize criminal prosecution for such actions. Therefore, it is incumbent upon all community education partners – students, parents, military leaders, administrators, faculty and staff – to understand the serious nature of actions violating the principle student freedoms and the scope of authority over infractions as outlined in The DoDEA Disciplinary Rules and Procedures. The administration at each school is responsible for the management of student behavior.
DoDEA has mandated that any and all school personnel report suspected child abuse and neglect (DoDEA Regulation 2050.9).
Our primary responsibility and concern must be for the safety and welfare of the child. The national mandate to prevent child abuse is so strong that school officials can be charged if they fail to report a suspected case of child abuse. Therefore, any and all suspected cases of child abuse/neglect are to be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Our ethical and mandated responsibilities in the DDESS system require all staff members to report suspected cases to the appropriate school administrator and to the base or post Family Advocacy Program*(FAP). The FAP management team, composed of the military installation's medical, legal, law enforcement and social work staff, is responsible for determining if child abuse/neglect has occurred and provide appropriate services for the child and family.
Note: Individual military branches and/or installations may have additional reporting requirements, processes, or procedures. These additional responsibilities do not however, relieve a DDESS employee from their duty to report suspected abuse to their appropriate school administrator and their Family Advocacy Program (FAP).

DeGeneres, 56, shares the minute-long video on her talk show Thursday. A playful reimagining of the fairy tale The Three Bears, it shows her sneaking into a luxury condo complex called The Woods and putting on different headphones – but the music is too fast, too slow or otherwise grating.
Finally, she tries the Beats Music streaming app, and it's just right. Suddenly, out of nowhere, some nattily attired bears and wolves appear, and they join Ellen in an impromptu dance party.
"I had so much fun shooting the commercial," DeGeneres says in introducing the clip, which will air Sunday night on the big game. "And you're really not supposed to see it until the Super Bowl, but it's my birthday [week] and my show, so I get to do what I want."

It's a bird... It's a plane... It's the SCE FCU bus!!!
We recently announced the launch of our latest "People Powered Banking" campaign, featuring images of actual SCE FCU members, on buses and billboards across Southern California. Within a few days, we were everywhere… including being spotted at Staples Center!
Our members are the face of our ads. The smiling face on this bus belongs to Aida T., who says, "I'm speechless when I see my face six feet tall on a bus or billboard. Being a part of the SCE FCU's campaign is amazing. I get to represent an organization that is authentic and treats me like family every time I go into the Duarte branch."
We're honored to see SCE FCU members proudly represent the Credit Union, as they call out to all consumers with a resounding, "JOIN US!"
