Penn State Grandma Downs Beer Bong
November 18th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
When it comes to drinking at a college football tailgate, there ain't no grandma like a Big Ten grandma.
Prior to Penn State's 45-21 rout of Purdue on Saturday, an elderly Nittany Lions fan – who the YouTube video above claims was 75 years old – did an admirable job of downing a beer bong. With her feat she joined old lady fans from Michigan and Iowa on the Mount Rushmore of "Women Who Can Outdrink You and are Old Enough to Be Your Grandmother."

Inspiration: Pink Lettuce
I absolutely adore this ruffle-y pink flower and the gorgeous raindrops that were still on it when it was photographed. It reminds me of lettuce for some reason.
Unfortunately I don't know the actual name for this pretty flower and it died once the weather got cold. Since I know the internet is totally genius - if you know the name of this flower - please leave it in the comments! That way I can get a new one for next year (and probably try to take better care of it).

Finding Holiday Shopping Zen
Holiday shopping seems to have increasingly become a blood sport, ranging from increasingly earlier "Black Friday" hours to outright pepper spraying others to sink your claws into an Xbox before they do. Scary.
So here are some tips for the fashion conscious to maintain your chic mojo and avoid going Naomi Campbell on your fellow shoppers.
1) Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. Your chic wardrobe will not be built in one day either. When you read interviews of women with fantastic closets - do any of them say that it's due to any particular shopping day of the year? Nope. Mostly you get responses that they tend to collect fashion, and shop very discriminately to build a wardrobe that has quality pieces, not quantity. Therefore, if you're a bit late or missing out on one shopping event at some store, just relax. Part of your Black Friday Anthro order got cancelled? Happened to me too - trust me, it won't kill you or your fashion cred in the bigger scheme of things.
2) Shop less not more. Set aside only part of the day to shop, and the other half to relax. For example, I prefer to shop in the mornings, have a nice lunch and relax the rest of the day. Hopefully you've been smart enough to buy presents throughout the year rather than reserve it for a last minute panic attack. Enjoy time off to do other things in your life and spend time with your friends and family. It is called a "holiday" for a reason. I personally enjoy baking and cooking during the holidays.
3) Munch and move. Skipping a decent, healthy breakfast or any other meal is a bad idea any day of the week. But just think about it - during the holidays your body needs proper nutrition to help it deal with the stress. A good walk outside, yoga session, or whatever your preferred exercise version is will help you stay sane and more relaxed.
4) Your mouse is your friend. Increasingly I've preferred to just shop online during the holidays to skip crowds altogether. There's many a good deal online during this time to be found without the time and stress of navigating the herd of people at the mall or having to wait hours in line freezing your butt off. Just have a Plan B in case a favorite item gets sold or or is unable to ship on time. Don't throw a cow or your laptop if that happens. There's plenty of other things you can buy instead.
5) Donate or volunteer. Many are not as fortunate to be even thinking about shopping strategies during the holidays. Heck they are thinking about where to get their next meal. So take the time to donate to a charity or volunteer your time - it'll make you feel good inside and help somebody else out.
Hope these tips helped!

What I Love Now - Digital Edition
Lately, I've been exploring the digital app universe lately and these are some of my favorites:
Tumblita for Tumblr - I've finally caved in and decided to give tumblr a go. I'm not sure if this will eventually mean a move to tumblr entirely but for now I'm keeping my main blog and my tumblr water.paper.ink as a niche art blog. Tumbling has been a useful app..although I do wonder at times why Blogsy can't post to tumblr and blogger to make life even simpler.
Chicfeed - for all the street photo goodness you need to stay inspired with fashion
Flipboard - basically the app I use to aggregate all my twitter, rss, and fashion news feeds into one beautiful graphics driven layout that is fun and gorgeous to explore.
I'm still on the hunt for the ultimate yoga app...

Operation Blue Roof to Start in St Martin Parish
St Martin Parish Officials and the US Army Corps of Engineers want to announce that Operation BLUE ROOF will begin in St Martin Parish Sunday, September 7. The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will their Right of Entry Collection Sight at the Parks Fire Department, 1011 Martin Street, Parks, LA 70582 to begin taking applications and completing Right of Entry (ROE) Forms for the program.
St Martin Parish residents will be able to go to the Parks Fire Dept to file applications for assistance in receiving temporary roof repairs at no charge to the owner. The hours of operation will be 9:00 AM – 6:30 PM daily until further notice.
A site is in the process of being set up for residents of Lower St Martin in the Belle River and Stephensville areas. When plans are finalized the location and times of that site will be announced.
Here are some facts about Operation BLUE ROOF:
* To qualify for BLUE ROOF services, damage to the roof must be less than 50 percent and the area to be covered must be structurally sound for a crew to work on. The roof must be free of debris.
* In order to have plastic sheeting placed on their roofs, homeowners must complete a right of entry form to allow government and contractor employees on their property. Right of Entry (ROE) centers are manned by Corps of Engineers employees.
* The Corps is covering roofs in the hardest hit parishes first. Be patient. The Corps will respond to every person who has completed a ROE as rapidly as possible.
* In some instances, there may be a slowdown in installing plastic sheeting because of a national shortage.
* Homeowners can also cover their roof with free tarps provided by FEMA and issued through their local governments.
* The plastic covering and the tarps are temporary fixes designed to provide protection from the elements until the homeowner can make permanent repairs with a qualified professional.
* Residents may call 1-888-766-3258 for more information.
The BLUE ROOF program is provided by FEMA through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in all parishes that have been declared by FEMA for the Individual Assistance program. St Martin Parish has been declared for this program. The FEMA-assigned "blue-roof" mission provides temporary roof repairs to help families return to the daily routine and homes.

Who the hell is Rufus? Good question, if a bit rudely put. Rufus is the patron saint of Triangle Brewing Company. We discovered him tucked neatly away in the clay part of our brewery's basement during renovations. Due to his overall level of decomposition, we were unable to determine his ethnicity, and his death remains to this day unsolved by the Durham Police Department, so his story was ours to create. After a few beers, with creativity and psychic abilities at its apex, we decided his name was Rufus.
We do not know how long Rufus had made his home at the Triangle Brewery Company, but we know it's been at least since the invention of trash bags, as he was stored neatly in one (no chance of accidentally crawling in and tying it closed from the inside!). Rufus continues to haunt TBC to this day. He frequently moves things, is heard as faint whispers, and knocks our darts out of the board. When the aforementioned happens, we recognize his displeasure and pour a little ale into the drain as a peace offering.
Rufus in Latin, means "Red", so in honor of our first Rufus Reserve offering, we released an Imperial Amber, a full bodied Double Red with enough hop kick to wake the dead. Rufus continues to travel to festivals with us in spirit only, you may have seen and drank beer poured from his casket. Cheers and keep an eye out for our other Rufus Reserve offerings.
Rufus Reserve Beers
Imperial Amber Ale
This strong amber ale (8.2%abv) has a strong malt presence that holds this brew together. IBUs of around 90 balance the brew which is dry hopped to add an invigorating citrus and floral aroma that lingers to the end while complementing all that malt. It is excellent with food as well as served by itself or in the company of a fine cigar.8.2% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Best as a pre-dinner drink (hops are a great appetite stimulant), heartier fare, spicy foods, pizza, pub grub or as an after dinner drink enjoyed with a cigar
Awards: Silver Medal 2009 & 2010 Carolina Championship of Beer
Best of Both Worlds Stout
This rendition of our Stout has been transformed into a cult classic. Using our Winter Stout as the base, we then have added coffee, chocolate and raspberries to blend the ultimate drinking experience. A mixology of beer and desert, truly warranting the name "Best of Both Worlds" Stout!5.6% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Desserts!!!!!!!!!
Awards: Silver Medal at the 2013 Carolina Championship of Beers. 2013 Best of Show Stout/Porter Category Sugar Brew Festival
Bourbon-Aged Abbey Dubbel
This is an exceptionally complex beer with many interwoven flavors. This Abbey beer features an immense head with a fruity nose coupled with a hint of oak, vanilla, and bourbon. Malty in the middle, the beer features a clean, oaky dry finish with a slight hint of bourbon.7.2% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Great with smoked foods, cheeses, richer foods, and sushi (the sweetness in the beers pairs incredibly well with the bit of saltiness in seaweed), sausages. Also an excellent dessert beer—pairs well with pretty much everything
Awards: Silver Medal 2009 Carolina Championship of Beer
Sour Bourbon-Aged Abbey Dubbel
This is an exceptionally complex beer with many interwoven flavors. This Abbey beer features a fruity nose coupled with a hint of oak, vanilla, bourbon, along with a special tartness caused by bacteria that has been specifically added to this beer. We hope you enjoy.7.2% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Poultry
Awards: Gold Medal 2012 Carolina Championship of Beers.
Belgian-Style Lambic
The Belgian-Style Lambic is a crisp and tart refreshing beer that draws its flavor from the unique fermentation character imparted by the yeast in the primary fermentation. The result is a flavor rich in fruitiness while the yeast fermentation also creates a sourness on the sides of the palate, reminiscent of a traditional lambic style. That sourness is combined with a subtle cereal note from the malted wheat and is perfect for our hot Carolina days.5.1% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Roasted turkey or chicken with all of the Turkey Day trimmings
Awards: Silver Medal 2011 & 2014 and Bronze 2012 & 2013 Carolina Championship of Beer
English Pale Ale
Our new English Pale Ale is not really pale but more of a golden to copper color. Distinguishing characteristics are dryness and defined hop taste, but more malt balance than what you'll typically find in an American Pale Ale. Great to drink with everything. Note that the term 'pale ale' is used in England to signify a bottled bitter, and in that way there is no such thing as 'English Pale Ale' to the English, just us Americans who need to classify everything.4.8% ABV
TRUB Smoked Porter
Our version of this Rauch-style bier was initially developed in conjunction with the Durham, NC Homebrewers Club, TRUB. Since then we beefed it up a little bit to emphasis the dark, smooth chocolate flavors that work in harmony with Cherry Wood smoked barley. This blend delivers a beautiful balance of chocolate and smoke character that's flavor-forward without being overwhelming.5.5% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Carolina BBQ
Fruit de Passion
"Fruit de Passion" means Passion Fruit, and we've made this Belgian-style ale with Organic Passion Fruit concentrate and specialty malts. Beginning with a clear Passion Fruit top note, earthiness, breadiness –balanced with a slight tartness that becomes more pronounced with each sip, At 6.5%, this is a refreshing beer that pairs well with foods on a hot Carolina day.6.5% ABV
American Wheat Ale
The crisp, clean flavors of Triangle's American Wheat are refreshingly light, a thirst-quenching American-style unfiltered wheat beer. Released for the first time in celebration of our 7th Anniversary on the 4th of July 2014. Our American Wheat Ale is an all-malt beer, with over 50% of its malt derived from malted wheat and unmalted red wheat. It is fermented with an American style top-fermenting "ale" yeast, yielding a clean, balanced flavor that highlights the refreshingly light flavor of malted wheat. The head is unusually abundant due to the natural protein deposits of wheat, with a thick creamy consistency.
This beer can be served with a lemon wedge (popularized by Americans), to either cut the wheat or yeast edge. Some people find the lemon to be a flavorful snap … or an insult and something that damages the beer's taste and head retention. We trust you to decide for yourself.4.2% ABV
Suggested Food Pairings: Pub Fare

I got many responses to my column on the death and legacy of Christopher Hitchens. In several the readers asserted that his writing was somehow superior to mine and I was not qualified to comment on his works.
Nonsense. This is the same sort of mindless hero-worship I get from fans of radio talkers like Rush Limbaugh and TV talking heads like Sean Hannity.
To a certain type of mind, appearing on TV or broadcasting on the radio confers legitimacy as compared to appearing in print.
Such a mind is not a good one. The electronic media have lower standards than the print media, not higher.
And when it comes to foreign affairs, Hitchens' supposed specialty, there is no comparison between my writing and his. Mine is far superior in every respect.
But don't take my word for it. Read for yourself. Here is a piece I did for the Philadelphia Daily News after a reporting stint in Nicaragua. I confess I had many advantages over Hitchens, such as a familiarity with the area from my many trips there and a knowledge of the local language and customs. I also stayed for much longer periods. I drove to Nicaragua and stopped at many points along the way. I didn't fly in for a brief visit like Hitchens and so many other journalists. That is why I could make this observation:
The Sandinistas put up such a good front of sincerity and friendliness that foreign visitors, and even journalists, tend to get caught up in "the revolution." But for the unfortunate Nicaraguans who have to live there, Managua is a city of power blackouts, water shortages and lines for everything from rice to gasoline. It is as if the Sandinistas were trying to prove that Latin America is indeed ''ungovernable," as Bolivar put it back in 1829 after he helped to free South America from Spanish rule only to see it ripped apart by factional fighting.
Read the whole thing. It takes a few screens to get through.
As for Hitchens, he was one of those journalists I was talking about, the guys who jumped off the plane, had a few beers in the cafes, and filed stories in which they parroted the party line. An excerpt from a 1983 column of his:
If the Reagan Administration has a plan for Nicaragua after the Sandinistas have been overthrown, it has not made that plan public.
Nobody seems to have the courage or the foresight to inquire. What, for instance, would the leaders of the contras, or counterrevolutionaries, fighting in the north of the country consider a victory?
Are they committed to holding free elections? (If so, as mostly onetime supporters of the former dictator, Anastasio Somoza Debayle, they have a funny way of showing it).
What is their opinion on land redistribution or on the Sandinista's literacy program?
One suspects that they have not been asked these questions by their trainers and paymasters.
As long as they undertake to break relations with Cuba and the Soviet Union, they are deemed by Washington to have a fully rounded political program. How they propose to govern the Nicaraguan people, apart from by the gun, is not discussed.
In retrospect, of course, Hitchens was wrong on every point. The contras were not Somocistas. Most of the contra supporters I met disliked Somoza as much as they did the Sandinistas. Their anger at the Sandinistas arose because they had turned the revolution against Somoza into a Marxist-Leninist power grab.
As for free elections, when the Sandinistas finally permitted them it turned out to be a big mistake. They lost in a landslide.
But you'd have to do actual reporting to realize that. I remain to this day the sole American journalist who actually read the Sandinista constitution, which revealed their plans for a single-party Marxist state.
As for Hitchens, you can go through his writing from this period and see that he was parroting propaganda, not conveying original thoughts based on research. As Brits go, he was not half the journalist of my old friend Ambrose Evans-Pritchard (who hiked with me to the Guatemalan mountains to meet those smiling gents in the above photo).
Ambrose wrote a number of excellent pieces for the Economist debunking the sort of nonsense put out by guys like Hitchens.
Here's a good piece he did for an Aussie newspaper:
Sandinismo is the greatest hoax of the decade. One can understand how so many intellectuals became apologists for Stalin in the 1930s. But how can today's luminaries, Graham Greene, Salman Rushdie, Alan Ginsburg et al, patronise an administrative military clique?
Rushdie was of course Hitchens' close buddy, one who was just as naive about Nicaragua and wrote an entire book proving it.
And Hitchens wasn't just wrong on the details. He got the big picture wrong as well. The genius of Reagan was that he knew the right side to support in an asymmetrical war: The insurgents. He drove the Soviet proxies crazy in Nicaragua with a small investment, even amid back-stabbing by the Democrats.
Meanwhile Reagan was much too smart to get bogged down playing defense. That's why he refused to get U.S. troops involved in the Mideast the way George W. Bush later did.
But Hitchens hated Reagan and supported Bush. He thus produced a body of work that has been proven wrong in every respect.
But he went on TV and that made the boobs think he knew what he was talking about. He didn't, and the evidence is in his writing.
COMMENTS: This is an absolute requirement for any comments supporting Hitchens: Provide actual quotes from his work that support your argument and compare them to actual quotes from my work or Ambrose's. This will prove to be an educational experience for you. If you fail to undertake it, your comments will not be published.

No injuries in Dinner Train derailment
One of the empty cars on the Spirit of Washington dinner train jumped the tracks after missing a switch at 1:20 p.m. Sept. 14, causing nearly 300 passengers to be bused back to their cars in Renton.
No one was injured when the derailing occurred near NE 175th Street and Woodinville-Redmond Road in downtown Woodinville. Crews were able to detach the car, enabling the diners to make it to Columbia Winery, but the train could not return to Renton because of the way the car fell.

About Me
Love my brothers and sisters, the Earth. Preserve it.
Follow my new blog:
Check out my new wiki user page!
And here is my Flyertalk page
Supertramp, with the difference that I didn't end up dead at the end of the movie like that poor kid did...
I survived Hungary with 40 dollars canadian. I used the Géllert baths to get cash out of my credit card every morning. Pretty good, huh? I also survived Mexico with cien dólares, or mil pesos, yes amigo! I didn't have a sombrero, but I made wonderful new amigos on my trip.
I went pretty often to California from Montreal at 300$, actually taking the bus overnight to Boston for 80$ r/t, then flying out of Boston to California and back for 220$ after tax r/t. That's what I call maximize the profit, minimize the cost... principles learnt from Operations Research at U de Montréal! But that's no longer the case with higher energy costs and all. Greyhound raised their fares way too much for anyone's pocket, so did the airlines by charging fees for everything. BUT so it seems that California is still cheap from New York Airports... quite a longer way than connecting from a bus to a plane in Boston, but it's pretty easy to get a rideshare to Boston or NYC, pretty easy to get it back to Montreal as well. And connecting to your cheap airfare is a matter of how many subway lines you've got to take...
SO to say that, after two years and some months of Greyhound and Amtrak, I think the best deal is to go on craigslist, get a ride or offer one, then fly out of Boston Logan or New York Kennedy/LGA to wherever you have to go!
Now, the surprise this year with a slowing economy: Flying out of Canada had never been so inexpensive. BUT, our federal government still thinks that air passengers are like cows to milk out all that money out of airport fees. Liberals, you lost my faith in you. You sold your souls to the Tory government! I am glad my riding went Orange (Outremont), then I was forced to move to a Bloc riding (Rosemont) urgh! Which is now and Orange riding, well...
I can go to Europe pretty unexpensive. Even with higher petrol prices... Anywhere if I had more time and resources. Switzerland was never expensive for me, even though I was a student then.
I was working as a staffer at Jewish General Hospital, about four blocks from my home. It was a very tense time ... Oh, I am glad I'm gone from there. I've got a scholarship, but I won't be wearing those funny clothes for graduation heheh.
I need to reinvent myself to travel and make it part of my living. Would you help?
I like doing things money can afford, but my life is not about money! It's rather the experience, brotherhood, love, and freedom without interfering with someone's freedom.
Have been a naturist since 2001. What I think about it? It feels GREAT to get rid of the clothes... Unfortunately, a lot of people think it's sex oriented. If you don't know me well and want to jerk off, I am not into it (Otherwise, why would you ask me for a larger version of my photo?). I am here because I am a naturist, and it's something I should enjoy more.
Some other people think naturism is something that belongs to warm weather, the summer, the beach... wrong! It's truly a lifestyle and I don't limit it! The beauty about it is that you don't have to be rich or poor to be nude. If you are truly a nudist, say hello here.

Get Low-cost Broadway tix (NYC):
Free Internet at the Airport:
YUL Montreal: USA departures gates C, just go to C73 in front of Air Canada Maple Leaf, take wifi "DataValet". Same for gate B55 Intl Departures, and A3 Domestic Departures.
BOS Boston Logan, SFO San Francisco Intl, OAK Oakland Intl, LAS Las Vegas and DFW Dallas/Ft Worth have free internet services. DFW requires the use of an ethernet cable.
Anywhere else in the USA: go in front of American Airlines Admirals Club, select "admiralsclub", and put someone's AAdvantage number with membership in that club. I am using "1YX1994" heheh heheh.
You're gonna say that I am crazy! But I've learnt every way to avoid the tolls in New York!
Alternative to the Thruway Upstate through to Albany? Voilà: the Taconic State Parkway! I just drove it the day after Valentine's Day, and it takes 15 minutes more than the Thruway to Albany... but hey. it's cute, it's safe, and it's FREE! I took it from the Bronx by way of taking either I-87 or the Cross County Expy in Westchester County (which you can take from either I-87 or Bronx River Pkwy or Saw Mill Pkwy), then Exit 6 to Sprain Brook Pkwy which becomes the Taconic Pkwy (Taconic is mentioned on the exit sign). Then I avoided paying a toll barrier for the Berkshire Thruway extension by taking the Exit to SR 203 in Columbia County, drove on that highway to Village of Valatie to Rt 9 Jct, then northbound on Rt 9 to the free section of I-90 into Albany... and then to Montreal, no tolls at all, same time!
No Toll Route NYC-Montreal
Now, from or to Toronto...
Partial Toll Route Map NYC-Toronto
If coming already on the Thruway... Alternative to expensive bridges and tunnels in New Jersey? Voilà: Bear Mountain Bridge is the solution for just $1.00, then connects to Rte 9, Rte 9A, and the Parkway system! Follow that order southbound.
Alternative to Long Island? Voilà: take Queensboro Bridge, or Manhattan/Brooklyn Bridges downtown, then connect to the BQE and on to the LIE!
Alternative to NJ Turnpike? Take Rte 1-9 from Jersey City all the way to Philadelphia!
Avoid the tolls, who's in SUCH a hurry on a weekend anyways?
And alternative to Greyhound? Check out postings for Rideshares here on CS and on Craigslist. I hate Greyhound!
Gas is less expensive in NJ, but it may come at a cost depending on your path. Avoid purchasing gas in Canada as much as possible: it's like 5 bucks a gallon here.
Finally, I wish I had a hybrid car... well, I wish it was fully electric! And I am a physicist, and I am confident there will be no-emissions cars!

Dang, that's almost... normal. Where was the gun show?
Carl N. Brown
August 24, 2013, 08:28 PM
I'll believe "almost normal" when .22 LR is plentiful at MSRP or discounted. That'll be the "normal" for me.
August 24, 2013, 08:32 PM
I'll believe "almost normal" when .22 LR is plentiful at MSRP or discounted. That'll be the "normal" for me.
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
red rick
August 24, 2013, 08:55 PM
The show was at the race track in Henrico.
I did not see any .22 ammo .
August 24, 2013, 10:48 PM
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
I wonder the same thing. I'll be happy when 9mm is back in stock. I don't shoot much .22lr in the first place, so my few hundred rounds is plenty. Maybe if I had another .22 gun, I might care more.
I've seen plenty of 7.62x39, mostly TulAmmo, on the shelves. It was some of the first stuff to come back in any real amounts. Made me want to go buy an AK.
August 24, 2013, 10:50 PM
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
Offhand, I would guess they want it so they can shoot their .22s ......;)
August 25, 2013, 05:53 PM
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
Because I generally shoot more .22 than all my other calibers put together. Because I have bought two new .22s at the end of last year that were six months old before I was able to find ammo to shoot them for the first time. Because .22 is fun to shoot.
Ignition Override
August 25, 2013, 06:23 PM
A friend (who escaped "East" Germany) bought the new .22 rifle which looks exactly like the WW2 Sturmgewehr.
Along with the many AR/HK clones in .22, this explains part of the demand.
At least one guy at the range has a .22 chamber insert in his competition AR-15, or whatever the small component is called.
August 25, 2013, 06:45 PM
For me and my grandson, we always seem to have more plain old FUN with our .22's.
August 25, 2013, 06:46 PM
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
Very simple, .22 LR is the most highly used caliber out there. More .22's are shot than anything else.
August 26, 2013, 11:38 AM
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
Low recoil, low noise, really quiet when suppressed, normally cheap enough for "plinking" at informal targets.
I think US shooters were going through a couple of billion rounds of .22 every year before the shortage, so "normal" demand is pretty high.
August 26, 2013, 11:45 AM
Because it is the cheapest to shoot and extremely accurate and so many great rifles are chambered in 22.
August 26, 2013, 02:52 PM
22 is BY FAR the cheapest ammo. anybody can afford to shoot with a 22. its also one of the most actually useful rounds
August 26, 2013, 08:06 PM
Why does everyone want .22 so bad?
1. Because it's the most affordable.
2. Because it's probably the most owned cartridge in the country.
3. Because lack of recoil makes it easy to shoot for extended sessions.
4. Because it's the most affordable.
5. Because it's probably the most owned cartridge in the country.

August 27, 2013, 09:16 AM
Right now, it's not the most affordable...
OP, those are decent prices. I wonder if the Walmart hoarders are starting to see their sales dwindle now that everyone else is starting to be able to find ammo. I hope so.
August 27, 2013, 09:23 AM
Cheap and easy to stockpile and from what I have seen it is a gateway cartridge.
August 27, 2013, 10:12 AM
The show was at the race track in Henrico.
I did not see any .22 ammo .
aka Flea Market. With exception of some newer handguns same guys parading same overpriced guns.
August 27, 2013, 10:17 AM
Right now, it's not the most affordable...
True. I've bought .45ACP in the last six months for less per round that I have seen some .22LR is going for. :(
August 27, 2013, 10:33 AM
I generally have at least 2 teenagers shooting 22 with me when I go shooting. We burn up a lot of it.
I get into ammo seek mode, then show up at Academy first thing in the morning. I may only score a couple of time a week, but I can usually get enough to enjoy the next shooting session.
Outlaw Man
August 27, 2013, 11:41 AM
Is anyone else disturbed by how buying ammo sounds almost like a heroin addict trying to get his fix? Or going to a methadone clinic to get his scheduled dose?
Nothing against those trying to find enough to keep enjoying their hobby. Just an observation of the sad state we've been in for over half a year.
August 28, 2013, 10:49 AM
Hey there <twitch>...you got any <twitch> <twitch>...huh...22 <twitch> left?
August 28, 2013, 06:17 PM
I honestly have the most fun with my .22's. That is why I shoot them so often.

Philippine National Committee for IFAP sponsors forum on writ of habeas data
Filipinos can now cite a new legal tool to protect their right to informational privacy with the recent promulgation of the writ of habeas data by the Philippine Supreme Court. The writ took effect on 2 February 2008.
The Philippine Supreme Court Chief Justice, Reynato S. Puno, explained the rules of the writ in a recent public forum convened by the Supreme Court in cooperation with the Philippine National Committee for Information for All Programme (IFAP) and the Asian Institute of Journalism and Communication (AIJC). The forum was attended by top media executives, journalists, IT specialists, human rights activists and lawyers. According to Reynato S. Puno, an individual may now use the writ as a remedy against violations of the right to privacy and demand an updating, rectification, suppression or destruction of the database or information files in possession or control of respondents.
Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family and home or correspondence, or to attacks upon his honor and reputation…" The Philippine Supreme Court resolution adopting the writ of habeas data quoted American jurist Thomas M. Cooley who described the right to privacy as the inalienable right of an individual "to be let alone."
The advent of information and communication technology (ICT) has exacerbated the threat to the right to privacy with the almost unlimited capacity of ICT to accumulate, store, process, retrieve and transmit data and information. The Supreme Court resolution adopting the writ also quoted a comparative law scholar, Enrique Falcon, who had earlier described habeas data as "a procedure designed to safeguard individual freedom from abuse in the information age."
In addition to protecting privacy, Chief Justice Puno also cited the value of the writ in enabling families of disappeared persons or the so-called desaparecidos to know the totality of circumstances surrounding the fates of their missing relatives.
Several countries have already adopted privacy laws, such as the United Kingdom's Data Protection Act of 1998, Australia's Privacy Act of 1988 and EU Directive 95/46 which requires all Member States to legislate a law that would ensure that every citizen has a right to privacy.
The forum recognized the need for a multi-sectoral discussion on other related issues, such as freedom of (access to) information and public domain information. Therefore, similar fora may be convened in the future by the Philippine National Committee for IFAP.

Taylor Dugas hit his first home run of the season, a solo shot that made the score 9-0 in the fifth.
Charleston starter Cesar Vargas (1-0) pitched 51/3 innings for his first victory of the season.

I often get teased because I make lists: "But you're so young; you shouldn't be so forgetful all the time." I hear that line (or several variations of it) often, but the truth is, I make lists not only to remember things, but to organize.
With the rigors of everyday life bearing down on working professionals, why should we be expected to remember everything? Well, we're not.
Remember the Milk (RTM) is a free online task management site that simply manages your tasks in the form of lists so you will "never forget the milk (or anything else) again."
Here's just a sample of what you can do with Remember the Milk.
Manage tasks effortlessly
Ever have an idea pop into your head or suddenly remember something as you're driving, only to have it dissipate from your thoughts completely upon arrival? It's OK – it happens to the best of us (at least that's what I'm telling myself). With RTM, you wouldn't have that problem when you can just fire off an e-mail or TXT message from your phone and add it to your list.
Receive TXT, e-mail and IM reminders
Set-up reminders for your tasks to be sent to you via the interface of your choice. Choose from e-mail, TXT or IM (AIM, Gadu-Gadu, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Skype and Yahoo!). Can't get any more convenient than that.
Organize with lists and tags
I love tag clouds. I think they're fun and I can easily spot the subjects of any blog that I am reading, or in this case, the contents of my lists and tasks. With unlimited list-making at your disposal, I have found this feature to be extremely helpful.
The more a tag appears throughout your lists, and the longer your lists are, the tags are displayed in a larger font in your tag cloud (or Task Cloud as RTM calls it). It is also easy to distinguish between lists and tags in the cloud, as your lists will be displayed in gray and your tags will be shown in blue.
Another cool aspect of the tag cloud: the higher priority a task is, or the closer the due date is, the word will also appear in a larger font, making sure that you can't miss it.
Track your tasks using Google Maps
Now that you're not going to forget the milk on the way home, map out just where you're going to stop. Use this feature to pinpoint where you will be completing your tasks so you never have to go out of your way!
Share, send or publish tasks and lists
Need a friendly non-nagging way to remind someone to do something (your significant other perhaps)? Add them to your RTM contacts list and send them a task reminder.
As I mentioned above, this is only a small flavor of features that Remember the Milk offers. Now, if you'll excuse me, writing this blog completed another task that I must go "cross off my list" (after all, I didn't want to forget to write it).

Evans's son Avery, 8, walked his mother down the aisle, preceded by her two daughters, Olivia, 5, and Audrey, 3. The couple's seven children (Barker has four from his previous marriage) sat on quilts during the ceremony and were the only attendants. They collectively gave their parents away.
The short ceremony featured Nashville songwriter Marcus Hummon, a close friend of Evans's, singing "God Bless the Broken Road," the Rascal Flatts hit he cowrote – a song that the couple says has deep meaning for their relationship. Christian minister Joe Beam, who was responsible for introducing the couple last fall, performed the ceremony.
Evans, 37, wore an ivory silk taffeta Vera Wang gown with a halter neck and Barker, 35, wore a Dolce and Gabbana suit. The black-and-white affair (guests were requested to wear black) was accented with hints of yellow roses, and the sophisticated décor was given a down-home twist with a menu catered by Constant Craving featuring Southern fried chicken, country-style pole beans, biscuits and macaroni and cheese.
"It was really very elegant, but Sara wanted it to feel like you were at her house," says friend and wedding planner Traci Phillips of The Perfect Party.
The bride and groom had their first dance to Chris Brown's "With You" and the 145 guests – including Sheryl Crow – boogied beneath a canopy of strung lights to a collection of R&B and pop hits spun by a deejay.
Evans met Barker, the host of a morning sports radio show in Birmingham, Ala., through Beam when each had turned to the minister for support after their respective divorces last year.
"He was our own personal matchmaker," laughs Evans, who says that Beam made both of them promise – before they even met one another – that they would let him officiate at their wedding. "I think God told Joe to get us together."
They were engaged in March. "It was hard for me to believe he was real and that he loves me the way he loves me," Evans tells PEOPLE. "I thank God many times a day for bringing me Jay."

Princess Grace
I was delighted to read your interview with Princess Grace (PEOPLE, April 5). She is an inspiration to my generation of women: She has chic, class and realistic perceptions about her life.
Yvonne Rail
Kettering, Ohio
Princess Grace characterizes herself as a "modern, contemporary woman." Sorry, Grace. After reading your statements that "men are logical" but "women aren't," this modern woman hasher doubts.

Henry Kissinger
It's nice to know that Dr. Kissinger, at the urging of his wife, sought treatment for his chest pains and so avoided a major heart attack. His story may convince others that they should not feel invincible but must respond to bodily signals of distress.
K. Morgan
Collingswood, N.J.
I've admired Henry Kissinger for years, but no longer. I read in PEOPLE that after recovering from his heart surgery he planned to take 17 people—exclusively, his doctors and their wives—to dinner, and it really irritated me. Did his nurses do less for him than the doctors' wives? As a 55-year-old R.N. who knows how important a good coronary care nurse is to recovery, I take offense at Mr. Kissinger's lack of appreciation. Is he unable to relate to nurses socially or intellectually? His snobbery doesn't help a profession trying to erase its second-class image.

Gun Ordinances
When I first read your article about the law in Kennesaw, Ga. requiring every householder to own a gun, I had to read it again to make sure I wasn't seeing things. I wish it were a joke. I hope that it doesn't take a tragedy to make these people come to their senses.

Lt. Gen. William Callaghan
Your portrayal of Lt. Gen. William Callaghan, commander of the U.N. peacekeeping mission on the Israel-Lebanon border, was fascinating; however, your brief commentary on the situation there was unfair and inaccurate. You imply that Israel acts in a purely defensive capacity in the area. Despite Israel's persecution as a nation, they are now inflicting a like persecution on the Palestinian people. America's blind support of such practices, reinforced and perpetuated by media portrayals of Israel as the injured angel, is becoming absurd. At least concede that Israel has fired one or two shots in aggression rather than in retaliation.
C. Harrison
Arlington, Va.
Lt. Gen. William Callaghan's statement that "peace begets peace" is something that we can all practice. I put it up on our refrigerator so that my family can see it every day. All heads of state should take note, too
Judy Asma
Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Aside from Claire Kingsley's vituperative comments about my idol Elizabeth Taylor, I was appalled to note that she feels being fat is something that must be "forgiven." Fat is a word that should never be used as a moral judgment.
Sandra Aguado
Peckville, Pa.
Garry Wills
Garry Wills' book is just another feeble attempt to strike it rich by discrediting the Kennedys. The Kennedy haters will applaud the book, the lovers will dismiss it. Why not just let President Kennedy rest in peace?
Patricia O'Brien
Walnut Creek, Calif.
Garry Wills should note that Teddy Kennedy couldn't beat even Jimmy Carter because most Americans do not believe in his policies. It has nothing to do with anyone's perception of his brothers.

Neil Diamond
Neil Diamond's vast appeal to the public knows no age limit, as I am an avid fan of his at 39, and so is my 16-year-old daughter. His talent spans the generation gap, and may it continue to do so for a long time, but please Neil, cut down on the cigarettes so we can say this "diamond is forever."
Julaine Banks
High prices, leaky milk cartons, crushed Twinkies are forgotten in the checkout lines when you see Neil Diamond's picture peeking out at you from the magazine rack! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the private life of a very special man, who has given the public so many hours of beautiful music.
Joyce Goodfellow
Joanne Callanan
It seems to be standard practice among critics to characterize as mediocre any music that appeals to a broad spectrum of listeners, and your story on Neil Diamond is no exception. Full of subtle put-downs like "melodramatic" and "middle-of-the-road," the article suggests it's uncool to be a Diamond fan. Well, we're not all boring suburbanites as you imply. Neil Diamond is a star in the fullest sense of the word; he has every right to be proud of his achievements. He deserves better treatment, and so do his fans.
Noelle Simon
Price, Utah
I do wish that everyone would stop dissecting Neil Diamond like some frog in Biology 101. The man is the consummate artist. Impatient with imperfection and intolerant of ineptitude—first in himself and then in others.
Just try and get a master tape for an album out of his hands and he will hold on as if it were his new "child." But when he does release his grasp, you have in your possession an item worthy of the time capsule at the next World's Fair.
Art Fisher

Today was going to be a busy day. C and I had MOPS this morning, then his 6-month checkup with the pediatrician, followed by a class at church tonight. In the wee hours of the morning, I woke abruptly with a stomach virus. My dear husband took over the night feedings (and there have been many lately, with C teething) while I was violently ill. Today, I feel like death came to visit me, beat me senseless, then decided to spare me. Okay, so maybe that's a slight exaggeration – but not much. 😉
Being Sick While Pregnant
Yesterday and today I have been feeling quite sick. Even though a friend of ours graciously decided not to attend our Superbowl party because he was sick and didn't want to pass it along to me, I somehow ended up getting sick anyway. Headache, body ache, chills, fever, nausea. Let me tell ya, it's not fun – especially when you're pregnant.

Dad Watched YouTube To Learn How to Circumcise Sontoddler-times
A man who used a box cutter to cut off his infant sons' foreskin at home told a North Carolina jury he watched videos on the internet to learn how to do it.
Gives you a whole new look at the medical degree from Google University, doesn't it?
Johnny Eric Marlowe has been sentenced to one hundred fifty days in jail for circumcising two of his kids at home with the box cutter – one each in 2005 and 2006. Marlowe's ex-wife, Amber, testified that the father of fourteen with no medical training allowed one of the boys to bleed for eleven hours after the "surgery," and asked for the court to give him the maximum sentence allowable.
Instead he got a misdemeanor count of child abuse and a few months in jail – the North Carolina jury was deadlocked on the charge regarding the second boy's circumcision.
Marlowe told the court God told him to circumcise his sons. And what do you know – he's done it to himself too!
He's also kidnapped someone and been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. And did we mention he's an admitted polygamist with a history of opting out on medical attention?
Back in 2004, he checked his wife out of a hospital in Pennyslvania when doctors suggested she have a Cesearean birth because their child was large (nearly twelve pounds). In that case, he was right – she delivered the baby at another hospital and was able to have a natural birth as she had with six previous kids. But while he was championed then as a man standing up for the rights of a family to choose their own medical care, hindsight allows you to wonder if it might have been indicative of his true state of mind.
It's true at-home circumcisions are common. You know them better as a bris or brit milah. But if your rabbi told you he just watched a bunch of YouTube videos and brandished a box cutter, I'm pretty sure you'd chase him back to the synagogue.

Tasting Notes
The nose has lovely floral notes that are reminiscent of the wonderfully refreshing Spumanti of Italy, with citrus and strawberry fruit nuances. The palate begins with a nice, classic "mousse" mouthfeel, and strawberry, brown spice and citrus flavors interplay with a refreshing acidity that carries everything into a long,delicious finish.
Technical Notes
This carefully crafted sparkling wine offers refreshing aromas and flavors that complement a wide variety of cuisine and occasions. The wine bubbles with the strawberry flavors of Beringer White Zinfandel topped off with the floral and citrus Spumante-like notes of Muscat. Serve chille

Half of TV shows have violence, report says
A survey conducted the month after vice president Joe Biden's meeting in January with network television executives on TV violence showed that almost half of the shows monitored contained acts of violence, according to an Associated Press story.
According to the survey conducted by the Parents Television Council between Jan. 11 and Feb. 11, there were 193 acts of violence in 392 hours' worth of episodes monitored. »Read Full Blog Post(4)
Rhinehart's high-energy drumming was always in the groove

Wilco's Tweedy mesmerizes Pabst audience with new material
Concertgoers aren't always keen to hear new material and, once they fail to recognize whatever's being played, tend to reserve their enthusiasm for the opportunity to visit bathroom and bar.
Monday night at the Pabst Theater, however, Jeff Tweedy's fans weren't keen to budge from their spots while he and his band led with a great deal of new material. »Read Full Article(3)
On Tap Today: Nicki Bluhm and the Gramblers at Shank Hall

Featured Project: Stars and Stripes Game Box
This great Stars and Stripes Game Box is not only fun to play with -- it's fun and easy to make!
- Delta Ceramcoat® Acyrlic Paint:
- White (2505)
- Opaque Blue (2508)
- Opaque Red (2507)
- Brushes
- Delta Ceramcoat Gloss Interior Varnish
- Delta Jewel Glue™
- Star shaped paper mache box
- Clear and red star shaped jewels
- 5 small round red jewels
- Old toothbrush
- Palette paper
- Water container
- Tracing paper
- Ruler
- To aid in painting the stripes around the sides of the box, use masking tape. The only trick is to make sure that the edges of the tape are securely fastened to the surface of the box.
- To prevent the tape from pulling up the paint from the box, place the masking tape on your clothes, removing it several times to reduce the stickiness of the tape.
- Paint the bottom of the box with sufficient coats of Delta Ceramcoat White to produce an opaque shade of color.
- Paint the lid Opaque Blue.
- Starting at the bottom of the box wrap a strip of tape around the perimeter of the box. Wrap a second piece of tape up next to the first. Remove the first piece of tape and place it up next the second butting the edges up next to one another. Place a third piece of tape up next to the previous piece, again butting the edges up next to each other. Remove the middle piece of tape and continue adding stripes to the bottom of the box, up to the top.
- Paint the exposed stripes on the sides of the box Opaque Red. Carefully remove the tape and dry. With your brush and the appropriate color of paint touch up any places where the color may have gone underneath the tape.
- Thin Opaque Blue slightly with water from an old toothbrush and speckle the sides of the box.
- With a pencil draw a line 3/8" from the edges of the lid. To the center of the lid draw a tic-tac-toe board.
- Using the liner brush paint the lines for tic-tac-toe and the lines along the edges White.
- Transfer the wording to the sides of the lid and paint the letters White.
- Allow the paint to dry and apply 2 to 3 coats of Delta Ceramcoat Gloss Interior Varnish to the entire box.
- Glue the small round jewels to the tips of the stars on the lid using Delta Jewel Glue.
Celebrate the USA with an Independence Day centerpiece composed of painted pots, stars and firecrackers. This is a great piece for outdoor dining on the Fourth of July. For more choices in patriotic painted pots, see this project.
