>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Hope this becomes a regular annual eventIn full: Well done Royal Wootton Bassett Hounds on the inaugural running of this very pleasant race.Actually one of the more gentle off-road races I've done with a steep hill at about 3 miles. Some lovely scenery and views of the Wiltshire countryside. Not as muddy as I expected despite the atrocious weather.Great value at just a tenner but personally I'd be happy to pay a few quid extra for a t-shirt or memento.Probably the smallest field I've seen at a race and to be honest disappointed at the attitude of some runners. When I pull over to let people run past me I expect at least a thank you or some kind of acknowledgement. At least that's how I was brought up to behave.Very friendly marshals and supporters at the end however and some lovely home-made cakes.Will definitely give this one a go again if it becomes a regular event.Date of review: February 11, 2014
In short: Hard as hell, but excellent as alwaysIn full: I could offer a few choice words about the hill at halfway, but otherwise can't think of anything negative to say about this race. Steve Goulding should be very proud for organising such an excellent, friendly event. No wonder it always sells out.The race is a challenge, to say the least, and excellent training for a marathon as well as burning a few calories from Christmas! Everyone is very friendly, not least the encouraging marshals, and the home-made cakes were fab! Nice to have a coffee before and after the race!Excellent organisation and even better this year with parking right at the race HQ. Thanks to the villagers for their co-operation in making this a special day.Looking forward to next year already!Date of review: January 20, 2014
In short: Always the best afternoon out at a raceIn full: Glad to be taking part in this one again, and the weather held for us to run without getting soaked!Nice friendly little event, pleasant but hilly run through the countryside with a fast finish. Excellent value with a technical t-shirt as well as a medal this year.The nicest thing about this event is that being part of the fete makes it a sociable afternoon out and not just another race.Look forward to doing this one again next year.Date of review: June 21, 2013
In short: Thanks to Grass Roots for another excellent eventIn full: Really enjoyed this event even though I didn't much feel like running on the day. Probably helped by nice sunny weather on the day.Very well organised, with a friendly pre-race briefing from Steve Goulding. Thanks also Steve for encouragement at the end even though I ran a painfully slow time compared to my pre-injury days; even though it was a very flat course - definite PB potential in good conditions.Good mix of runners, and nice to see team Ryan taking part. Nice for me personally to bump into an old friend at the end (sweaty hug time!)Nice medal and jelly babies at the end. A t-shirt would be a nice addition but I understand this incurs extra expense and would be an organisational nightmare with so many entries on the day.See you at the Rough n Tumble everyone.Date of review: November 23, 2012
In short: Simply the best!In full: Once again the Sodbury Slog shows everyone exactly how a race should be organised, and it's easy to run out of superlatives when rating it.Everything was spot-on, right from the moment you enter the town of Chipping Sodbury with signs to the race HQ and parking.Pre-race went like clockwork, no delays collecting race number and chip, well-manned baggage area and plentiful loos. Warm-up dancing 'Gangnum style' and of course the reading of the last post before the run is a highlight of the year.I thought it was just my appalling lack of fitness catching up with me but I have been informed that yes, it was in fact muddier than usual this year. A lot of fun though and a great training exercise.We were blessed with glorious weather this year which meant I could take in the gorgeous views of the countryside, not something I always manage to do.Very friendly runners and some friendly and encouraging spectators, unusual for an off-road event. Marshals ezxcellent as always, handing out drinks and jelly beans en route. And Hi to the nice young lady from Cardiff I was chatting to on the way back to the car!Fantastic value for money meant an excellent goodie bag at the end including a lovely long-sleeved t-shirt, plus I bought a technical one for training!It really doesn't get better than this and as long as nothing changes will be a constant on my race calendar. See you next year.Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: Glad to be back at this oneIn full: Very glad to have done the Pewsey half this year, even though I was physically not in condition for it, and my thoughts were elsewhere.Despite the lack of training and a much slower time than usual, I very much enjoyed this event again having missed it last year and a DNF in 2010.I don't think I realised in previous years how pretty the scenery in this race is, possibly because I had more time to take it in this year, being so slow!Very well organised, free parking at the start, clear instructions and well marked with lots of friendly and encouraging marshalls. Four water stations were a godsend on a warm day, but an energy drink or jelly babies might not have gone amiss.Very friendly crowd, even if it was predominantly club runners. Lovely home made cakes, and a nice memento (a pump bag) to go with a decent t-shirt. Personally I don't understand why people prefer a medal, it's not as if you can do anything with them.Look forward to seeing you again next year PVRC and a special thank you to Mark Anderson for being understanding of my situation and the nice lady marshall who was willing to keep a t-shirt for me had I been out on the course for longer than I was.Date of review: August 28, 2012
In short: Still a great little race, but can we have the cakes and burgers back please?In full: My favourite distance has always been half-marathon, but out of all the shorter distance events, this has to be my favourite. Such a pleasant afternoon out, a friendly little race, nice scenery, superb organisation and good value for money. Please see my comments from previous years for more.I especially liked the paperweight memento this year. Regarding a previous rating, if I'd come 2nd or 3rd in my age group I'm sure I'd be disappointed not to receive a prize but can I please just offer the opinion that it is perhaps better for everyone to come away with a quality memento? We all pay our entry fee and put the same effort into the run!We were blessed with good weather again but just a couple of things spoilt it for me. The race seemed to have a distinctly 'clubby' feel to it this year and I preferred it when there was a greater mix of abilities as I think that encourages more people to take my part. Again, just my opinion.Also last year we all celebrated with a cake and a burger which we bought at the fete. This year a friend kindly offered to buy me a cake as it was a bit of a special celebration for me (I'd had to pull out of Lethbridge 10k the week before so just finishing was a great result). Sadly there was nowhere offering food for sale apart from a small stand where you had to decorate the cake yourself.Look forward to coming here every year, but you can't have a great race without cakes!Date of review: June 15, 2011
In short: Can't think of a better event for my comeback raceIn full: Picked this as my first race back after a long and miserable winter of injury, having only done a few 5k park runs this year. I'm glad I picked this one, mainly for the friendly atmosphere and support around the course.Very well organised especially given the number of people who attended. My sister and her husband were at the race but it was so busy I didn't see them!Very pleasant run through the town and countryside and as I say the support for a small local race was superb - thanks to everyone who made the effort to cheer us on.I wasn't sure how I would cope with a 10k so just ran with a friend doing his first ever 10k. Wouldn't describe the course as especially flat but some friends did get a PB so there must be potential there. Personally I was just delighted to get round painlessly, even if I was 20 minutes slower than my previous worst 10k time!Not the cheapest of races but good value, nice goodie bag at the end, liked the towel which is useful for my gym classes and a lot better than a medal. Only gripe was having to queue for so long. In fairness, perhaps the organisers didn't know how many people would turn up, so it is to their credit that they didn't run out!Have only done this once before in my running career but will make a mental note to make this a more regular fixture in my running calendar.Well done Chippenham Harriers, see you at the half marathon in September.Date of review: May 10, 2011
In short: Once again, the Sodbury Slog shows how it should be doneIn full: Apologies for lack of feedback in previous years, I missed getting my entry in time last year but this will be a regular in my racing calendar as long as I am running.Personally I can't say I enjoyed the slog as much as in previous years, but this is due to my own lack of fitness and does not reflect on the event itself. As well as being a lot of muddy fun, it's a good tough training run and not really one to do so soon after injury.The organisation was out of this world as usual, the last post and two minutes' silence is always a nice touch and well observed.Lots of camaraderie on the way round, I was struggling with my back so thanks to everyone who enquired about my well-being. Fantastically well marshalled and supported, thanks for all your encouragement and good humour.Brilliant value for money and a great goodie bag with proper goodies (mars bar, flapjack, biscuits..), my only slight gripe was there were no t-shirts left in a large when I finished but hey I need to slim down to a medium anyway! Besides, the quality is fantastic.Other race organisers should take note, there's a reason why this event attracts more runners than a lot of major town's half marathons.Thank you Bitton Road runners, see you at the Hanham Horror.Date of review: November 15, 2010
In short: This has the potential to be a classicIn full: Being a big fan of the Hogweed Trotters' excellent Hilly Half I was expecting great things from this race. If a few things are improved upon this could be a classic race.Most of all, the directions in some places do need to be improved upon, but I expect it can't be easy to put signs everywhere on a course like this. I'm glad I'm not the only one who was confused and had to guess a couple of times. It was a very small field, and having not run due to injury for a few months I struggled to keep up with the pack.Also a better loud speaker is needed as we couldn't hear a word of the pre-race briefing.These are minor points however, and are more than outweighed by the good things. The scenery was fantastic, and I stopped to take in the views a few times. Good tough, challenging course, ideal preparation for cross country season. Excellent value at a tenner and a very pretty medal. Lovely tea and cakes at the finish. Friendly and supportive marshals and a friendly, but slightly clubby, bunch of runners.Hope to come back next year, aim to have a go at the major if I'm fully fit!Date of review: October 18, 2010

Makes me hope "The Fireman" makes an appearance in each Macca show.
You know I hadn't really thought about that yet, but...since Macca is actually promoting this one in a fairly big way...well it would be a perfect thing to push it over the top publicity wise to back it up with a more traditional tour. Doing songs off of it, having it available for sale at the shows, etc. ... That would really be great. It really does seem to be essentially the next Paul McCartney album, just produced by Paul McCartney & Youth, but it has to overcome the fact that relatively few folks know that The Fireman=Paul McCartney (& Youth).
I LOVE the other tracks, but this one is my favorite too. It would be a real highlight on any of his other albums too! Blessings!

Pinellas Park booms into an attractive place for families
By PAUL SWIDER
Published May 5, 2007
PINELLAS PARK - This city's renaissance has been predicted before, but Pinellas Park is now seeing more than just expectations, it's seeing bricks and mortar.
"People are seeing they can get a piece of land they can afford for their custom-built home," said George Lewis of Broderick and Associates, which has been involved with a few midsized developments in the city. "It's evolution."
Long mocked as a trailer-park haven and "penniless park," the central Pinellas city has seen about 1,000 new housing units built in the past five years. As property prices in marquee cities like St. Petersburg and Clearwater have gone through the roof, Pinellas Park has become an attractive place for large-scale developers like Beazer and Rottlund, but also for those who build smaller.
"There's a lot of competition here now," said Stuart Cohen, whose American Housing has been building in the city for 20 years. "Pinellas Park has just become fashionable."
Centrally located on high ground with ready access to major roadways and a short drive from population centers, the city has built-in assets, said Assistant City Manager Tom Shevlin. The city also has a ready supply of industrial land so it is home to employers, he said.
"We had a lot of underutilized land and a fair amount of vacant sites," said Shevlin, a 20-year veteran with the city. "I think the land was available and the market caught up to it."
Shevlin said growth in other parts of the region has been fueled by retiring baby boomers, but Pinellas Park is attractive to young families. As the housing market slips, retirees can buy or not as they wish, he said, but young couples need a place to raise their children.
Cohen has built a number of affordable sub-$200,000 houses after removing mobile homes, but more upscale homes are also on the menu. Lewis is selling some for a half-million dollars, but he has buyers in people who want a large spread but can't afford even higher prices in other cities.
At Heritage Reserve and Oak Bluff, two smaller subdivisions, Lewis offers models from $400,000-$650,000 for 2,300-3,600 square feet, but says similar homes in surrounding areas could be 50 percent more. He credits the rise in interest in the city to the Shoppes at Park Place at the intersection of U.S. 19 and Park Boulevard.
"When that was ParkSide Mall, it was dead from the day it was built," said Lewis, who used to own the Leverock's restaurant adjacent to the mall. "Now, it's a power center. It's a draw."
But the mall's developer, Boulder Venture, said the opportunity was always there, just unrecognized. The spurt in Pinellas Park was inevitable as people found the central location.
"Fifty acres in the heart of the most densely populated county in Florida? That was a home run from Day 1," said John Sabow of Boulder Venture. "It just needed an updated, modern shopping center, which that mall was not."
Sabow said traffic at the mall has exceeded expectations and is a factor as other builders take notice. Just as his company took an unpolished gem and made it shine, he said developers are taking to the rest of the city.
Beazer built 56 homes at 78th Avenue and 76th Street and is in the midst of building 300 townhomes at 70th Avenue near 49th Street. Rottlund built 114 units at 78th Avenue and 66th Street, another 140 at 62nd Avenue and 58th Street, and another 96 at 82nd Avenue and 66th Street. Along with the Cohens and Brodericks and other builders, the city is growing up.
Shevlin and others have seen some commercial redevelopment but are eager for more, especially along Park Boulevard. People refer to the county as being built out, but they say places like Pinellas Park provide ample opportunity for clearing and rebuilding.
"All the pristine lands are gone," said the city's zoning coordinator, Joe Aukstikalnis, "but there's still land out there."

US women's volleyball team defeats Venezuela 3-1
BEIJING (AP) A loss to Cuba brought focus back to the U.S. women's volleyball team.
Although still grieving over the stabbing death of Beijing visitor Todd Bachman, who had close ties to USA Volleyball, the women beat Venezuela on Wednesday with determination not to squander their Olympic experience.
The score was 3-1, improving the U.S. team to 2-1 in preliminary pool play. A loss to Cuba in the previous match provided ample motivation.
"I think it kind of woke us up," wing spiker Logan Tom said. "We were saying, 'Get in it, we don't have very long here. We've worked for four years for this, some of us longer. Don't throw it away.'"
The U.S. team was badly shaken when Bachman was fatally stabbed in Beijing last weekend. His wife, Barbara Bachman, was seriously injured.
The couple's daughter, Elisabeth "Wiz" Bachman McCutcheon, played for the women's team in Athens and is married to U.S. men's volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon. She is close to many of the players on the current Olympic team.
For the match against Venezuela, players wrote "Wiz" on their arms and shoulders in marker.
"The tragedy is going to be with us throughout this Olympics and even after," Tom said. "We have to find a way to use it for positives and not let it get us down."
The 25-17, 20-25, 25-14, 25-18 victory improved the U.S. team's chances of advancing out of the preliminary round. Venzuela dropped to 0-3, all but eliminating its hopes of advancing.
There are 12 women's teams competing in Beijing, divided into two pools. The top four teams will emerge from round-robin play into the quarterfinals.
The U.S. team let down in the second set, but Tom recovered from a slow start with a spike for match point in the third. Tom was even better in the fourth, and finished with 15 points.
Tayyiba Haneef-Park led the United States with 17 points. Jayce Asndrade had 15 points for Venezuela.
The teams met at the Beijing Institute of Technology Gymnasium, the smaller of two venues for the volleyball competition.
As with their first two games, the U.S. team had considerable support from the crowd, not only because of a sizable contingent of American fans, but also because of the Chinese on hand to see coach Jenny Lang Ping.
Lang led the Chinese women to a gold medal at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles and is considered a national sports heroine in China. She has even been honored with a postage stamp.
The U.S. women face China next on Friday night where Lang's presence will have even more significance for fans.
Before losing to Cuba, the United States opened play Saturday night with a victory over Japan. That was just hours after they learned of the attack on Todd Bachman, killed while visiting the 13th century Drum Tower with his wife and daughter, who was not hurt. The assailant jumped to his death from the tower, a popular tourist site.
Barbara Bachman is in serious but stable condition at a Beijing hospital.
Todd Bachman was an avid volleyball supporter, particularly of the women's team, and he often traveled with his wife to competitions.
Ron Larsen took over as interim coach of the U.S. men in McCutcheon's absence.
In other women's matches Wednesday, Russia defeated Kazakhstan 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-11), Italy defeated Algeria 3-0 (25-7, 25-20, 24-12) and Brazil defeated Serbia 3-0 (25-15, 25-13, 25-23).
Cuba prevailed over rival China 3-2 (18-25, 14-25, 25-23, 32-30, 15-13) and remained undefeated while Japan defeated Poland 3-2 (25-21, 25-20, 18-25, 23-25, 15-11).

Has anyone made a pie from Trader Joe's 16oz pizza dough ball? Found it in the refer section next to their mozz. (not frozen)package says dough conditioners.
Bob,Good to hear about your experiment with your fresh Trader Joe's dough ball. Did the Trader Joey's dough ball have a use by date? Do you have a photo, or know what ingredients were in the dough ball? As you already know I have played around with frozen premade dough balls and am always interested in knowing how the final pizzas turn out. How did you bake the pizza? Was it on a stone or some other way.Norma
Norma,I cooked that TJ dough up as a NY style pizza on a stone...I think you would find it interesting. It was the first time I baked a dough that; even at a fairly low temp, wanted to char real easily. Like some of the pics I see here sometimes of a NY pie that looks almost burnt(to me) but you'll see a bunch of the veterans here really come out to compliment the person who posted that charred pizza. I made 2 pies and had to cool the oven a bit to slow things down for the second pizza. I didn't document or have any of the information you have asked about, unfortunately. But I'll get more dough balls this weekend and have the info for you probably this Sunday evening, no problemo. Bob
Bob,Thanks for telling me how you baked the Trader Joe's dough. I wonder why it really wanted to char easily. I find that interesting. Will be interested in your next experiments with the Trader Joe's dough balls.Norma
I don't know Norma; like I stated , I think it was a blown or nearly blown dough and if my learning from here is correct that would mean much more sugar has developed..or do I have that backwards?I think the way they get tossed and moved around at TJ's these "fresh" dough balls go through a lot of warm ups(rises)and then deflated and then that cycle gets repeated who knows how many times.I was thinking that these are probably kept frozen in the back somewhere so this weekend I'm going to ask if I can buy some frozen ones and that way I can give them just 1 good warm up on my counter after thawing them in the frig..
Bob,I really don't know if a dough is blown or nearly blown if that would mean that would be more sugar in the dough. You have to remember that I sure can't recall everything that is posted here on the forum about dough at my old age. What I usually found though, is when doughs balls are fermented for a long while, is then the rim of the crust usually gets lighter during the bake. Maybe you can ask about the TJ's dough balls and how they are when they get them delivered. If they are really fresh then pick the ones that have the farthest use by date. If they are really frozen before they put them out for sale, then get frozen ones.Norma
My experience with TJ dough was I couldn't stretch it at all. It very rubber-like in that respect. The package says to let it warm up for 20-minutes. Maybe I would have had better luck if I gave it a couple of hours.
Even when I let it warm up for 3 hours it was still very elastic and wouldn't stretch well. That being said, when you're in a hurry or need a little extra, it will work.
I do not get it. This is a pizza making place and people are buying ready made dough. Oh god save my soul. I thought a better discussion might be on which flour to use. making dough is so incredible simple and low cost and you know what got into it. like the purity of the water, the yeast etc. why in god's name would anyone buy pixxa dough is beyond me. go ahead you can try to explain if you want. but next posting I want to read about people who make real pizza. you can buy good Italian pizza flour on Ebay if you are interested in good pizza.
okn,If you baked your TJ dough NY pizza style...did you get/notice any good oven spring or was your rim/cornicione small and relatively flat?Thanks!
I got decent oven spring. Not as good as my dough, but it wasn't bad. Flavor isn't bad, not great, but not bad by any means. Like I said before, if you need a little extra dough, or you are in a hurry then it will suffice. At my local TJ they sell plain, whole wheat, and herb/garlic or something like that. I buy plain, however, I have tried the other two some years ago and didn't care too much for them.
Hi Chicago Bob, I have been using TJs pizza dough for a long time. When I buy it I look for the oldest date and bring it to room temp 3 to 4 hours before making my pizza.I also split the dough in half and put in a bowl with EVOO during the 3 to 4 hours. I will start to making my own dough with the information from this site.Here are some pizza's I made last week with TJs dough.

Tuesdays With Rita: Back-to-School
4 comments:
oh you are so right! that nostalgic smell of crayons, (has to be crayola though)....it does something to me too! lolReplyDelete
I have a new box of 64 on my drawing table, all sharp and ready to go..but thus far I have only opened and closed the box to take in the scent!
it's like aromatherapy right there on my desk as I create and play with my other supplies!
we must be weird or something, right!
don't tell anyone!
ciao bella
Thank you so much for coming by for a visit...It's nice to meet you....Your blog is full of wonderful creations and I will defnitely be back to visit again....ReplyDelete
You're so right about crayons....just the smell can evoke so many memories...I think I need to make run to target.....
Hugs and blessings
Right on! I love those back to school sales too. My mom always thought that a box of 64 crayons was decadent in its extravagance, so I love big boxes of crayons, too. (I have numerous boxes of colored pencils and watercolor tins, too. I'd better get at painting or I'll never, ever use up all my supplies!)ReplyDelete
I am right there with you! The only thing better than the back to school aisle is the CLEARANCE back to school supplies- a few days after the kids are in school!ReplyDelete

Cogswell College Comic Creation Club (or C5 as we lovingly call it) has started its first comic! We're currently working on the writing and layout of the comic, one of my personal favorite parts. This particular comic is about a knight who wishes to be part of the Queen's guard, but to be a part of it he must accomplish particular tasks. Our first comic is about his first task. We have character designs and some background designs done for the comic and once we have the page layouts done then the penciler will get to start, which means I get to lecture on penciling.
Another thing we're doing as a club is going to Wondercon in San Francisco. We're looking at handing out flyers for the school. I also hope to talk to some artists that might like to come and present in the future at our school. There's a chance that we may even go in costume, we might even have one of our members dressed as Snape from the Harry Potter series. It looks quite exciting. Speaking of exciting, I taught another one of our club members how to say 'excited' in American Sign Language. She has hurt herself and cannot speak today, so I helped her out there a bit.
We are also looking at hosting a small Comic Festival (with the help of another Cogswell student club, Andrew Fest, so we're calling in Comic Fest) for our students where we bring in industry professionals to talk about what they do. I'm currently talking to some writers and an inker, I just need to find a color artist and a penciler. Hopefully this event will come together nicely. We're also intending to have a costume contest for our cosplayers and a raffle will also hopefully be held as well. It looks like that will be fun.
On top of that we're also taking about doing a shortened version of the 24 hour comic, calling it a 12 hour comic. The idea of the 24 hour comic is to create a 24 page comic in 24 consecutive hours. You come to the event with no idea about what you're going to write and draw about and hopefully leave with a completed comic. We had done the 24 hour comic last semester and found that anyone attending also didn't finish their homework that weekend, so we've changed our game plan to just take one day in the weekend instead of both days. At the 24 hour comic event we had 2 club members completely finish their comic, all the way to inks and words. That was myself and another experienced comic writer in the C5 club. Another student who isn't in the club but wanted to attend at the event made it all the way to page 24 in blue pencil. This time it's a 12 paged comic in 12 hours and you are allowed to bring an idea with you to the event. Because most of our club members are new to comic creating I sort of want to have something that's not quite as intense as the 24 hour comic.

Past words of lockout wisdom from The Washington Post's Thomas Boswell
The Washington Post's sports columnists may be failing to write about the current NHL lockout, but they've had plenty to say about past collective bargaining agreement battles. In looking through some old Post pieces on the subject, I came across one from March 2011, written by Thomas Boswell on the NFL labor dispute.
Much of Boswell's column, which suggested that the NFL learn from baseball's 1994-95 strike and the damage it did to that sport, applies to the current NHL situation as well. Hockey fans might enjoy this part in particular:
There's another side of the coin: our side. Fans of the NFL, even the most ardent, should also learn something from baseball's misery: Don't care. Or care as little as you can. Don't live and die with the latest twist in talks. If the current 24-hour extension leads to progress, that's great. But if this moment of hope leads to nothing, be prepared to mock both sides and, when you can, try to laugh. That's the only pleasure we're going to get.
Because there is one certainty when labor fights get this intense: Neither side cares about you. If you pick a favorite and scream your opinion, then you're probably the sucker. The owners will only listen to those who back them. The same goes for the players.
The sound that really worries them is silence. Try to provide it.
Perhaps the scariest parallel between baseball then and football now is the idea that the healthier the sport, the less likely a disaster. That's backward. Lots of money on the table brings out the worst in people, seldom the best.
I'm not ready to go silent yet, but I'm certainly not taking sides either. I place blame for hockey's current situation on both the owners—whose side includes three-time lockout commissioner Gary Bettman—and the players.
Now's a fine time to make noise that you don't appreciate what any of the parties involved in this lockout are doing to the fans. But more importantly, the time when people can really make an impact is when the games finally start-up again. That's when silence could speak volumes or perhaps millions is a better word, as in millions of dollars in lost revenue.
As I wrote in a lockout-related post earlier this week, "Having waited out a few of these NHL dramas before, I wouldn't mind seeing the league struggle to draw spectators before things return to normal. Considering the two sides had years to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement that could have prevented the cancellation of games and satisfied all parties—including the seemingly forgotten customers—Bettman, the owners and the players deserve it, especially when they've behaved as if they learned little, if anything at all, about fan frustration from the 2004-05 lockout."
Make noise now or go about your business quietly. But when hockey returns, that's when it's time for the fans to impose their own lockout, rather than going rushing back to games as if nothing ever happened. Sparse attendance, lackluster merchandise sales and poor television ratings are ways the public can send some well-earned frustration back in the direction of the owners and players.
Perhaps the NHL will never learn, but I'm willing to take a chance that they might by taking my entertainment dollars elsewhere for a bit.

Of course, no one did any of that when it came to football returning–TV ratings for the NFL are as strong as ever these days.
And considering that virtually all of the Verizon Center is sold out to season ticket holders, it's pretty hard to make any statement by not going to games–as a season ticket holder, I will have already paid to attend the games, so why would I stay home just to make a statement that really won't matter to anyone's bottom line?
And for what it's worth, while I'd be extremely mad if the season is cancelled, I can't say, as a season ticket holder, that I'd be that upset if they settled this in a few weeks and we had a 65 game season or something. Eighty-two games is too many, anyway–a shorter season will be more exciting and less expensive.

TRENTON, N.J. -The Mercer County Clerk's office will begin accepting credit cards on Dec. 1, making transactions for those visiting the office more convenient than ever before.
Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello sought to include credit card payments at her office after being elected in 2005. Sollami Covello recently partnered with Commerce Bank to acquire two credit card machines that accept Visa and Mastercard, giving customers more choices in addition to the traditional payment of cash, check or money order.
"Paying for a passport application or a business registration is now as easy as a swipe of a credit card," Sollami Covello said. "When I took office, I promised to bring the clerk's office into the 21st century with updated technology and ways to make transactions easier and quicker. These credit card machines are a big part of those initiatives."
Mercer County Executive Brian M. Hughes also pledged to bring openness and convenience to County government when he was elected, and commended the County Clerk for adding more options for residents doing business with Mercer.
"Mercer County continues to make strides toward openness and accessibility with initiatives like this one," Hughes said. "I encourage anyone utilizing the County Clerk's office to take advantage of this new option."
In the past, some visitors to the clerk's office had complained because they were without the personal checks or cash needed to complete a transaction, Sollami Covello said. Moreover, personal checks were not accepted for business registrations.
"But those days are over. Beginning in December, all transactions can be paid for with Visa or Mastercard," Sollami Covello said.
Employees at the clerk's office have already undergone training for operating the credit card machines. The same machines will also be placed at the Mercer County Store-a one-stop center for County information and resources, including services of the Clerk's Office-once it opens early next year.

"Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil" (King Solomon, Ecclesiastes 8:11). That summarizes the attitude of a scoffer. He mistakes the patience of God for leniency, and mocks the prospect of a coming judgment. One of the defining qualities of a scoffer is to forget the past, willingly. Case in point, the Genesis Flood.
The Apostle Peter exposed the folly of scoffers with an inspired history lesson from the book of Genesis. If you take Genesis as literal history (as Peter did), you're in good apostolic company. Peter didn't rebut the scoffers with poetical or allegorical interpretations of Genesis, and neither should we. Pull up a chair—school is in session again, with Professor John MacArthur . . .
Watch the sermon video, then visit the comment section and discuss the following question: How does the catastrophic global flood threaten the system of uniformitarianism (i.e., "the present is the key to the past")?

It shows the key to the past. The Global Flood is the first judgement.
In scripture says people were eating,drinking,getting married,and etc.
The flood came and took them away. The 8 people on the ark with animals
were safe. It shows that the earth was once watery world,then flood it
again and soon earth and heavens will burn up. This Global Flood
was real and it's a key to know what will happen in the last day. It's
in the bible. Matt. 24 will be a impact on others to know that we don't
know when Jesus is coming and Jesus wants us to prepare for that.

Like any other system of belief or theory, there are plenty of rooms to justify the claims of uniformitarian system. Even the so called catastrophic flood is not enough to threaten such fortified heresy – it will always find its way to modify itself to avoid the truth. Like what JM said, this belief system was from Satan himself; so I think those who followed or who are following the lies Satan will also adjust accordingly.
But the good news is for those who are at the verge of turning to Christ and also for those who are already in Christ yet have the tendency to buy into such satanic scheme. The truth of the historic flood will indeed threaten or lessen the deceiving power of the Uniformitarian. Furthermore, the signs of the end times are slowly unfolding in this present generation and I think this reality will not only threaten the uniformitarian; it will totally destroy the system and shame the scoffers.

I posted this link on the previous blog series but it deserves to be viewed here as well...This is a great new production:
"How does the catastrophic global flood threaten the system of uniformitarianism (i.e., "the present is the key to the past")?"
I think it would be hard to find, today, anyone who would say things in the world are going on as they always have. (like they did in Peter's day).
Today's science has convinced some people that the world IS changing, for the worse, because of: (all together now) Global Warming!.
God has even been taken out of the picture. Scripture says creation groans up to the present time. Science says "Nature" is being hurt, and it's up to us to save it (Her).
Just the same, it's just a diversion from satan to divert attention from God.
We know everything is going according to God's plan. These ARE the last days (just as they were in Peter's day). But today, some people would rather save the earth than their own souls.
Let us not keep silent. There's too much at stake.
Because of wooden literalism we get problems like in Zechariah 14: Where the Bible talks about the Mount of Olives being ripped in half and the land changed into a plain while Jerusalem rises in elevation. This is a good passage to show how John MacArthur's view of interpretation is in my opinion in error.
Zech 14:8 speaks about 'living water' that flowed out of Jerusalem after these seposed tremendous geological changes. As I have said before there is always an obvious clues that the passage is symbolic. Living water is not really living, it is symbolic of salvation, even in the New Testament Jesus himself speaks about 'living water' to the woman at the well and contrasts that with literal wet water in John 4:10. This is easy to understand if you aren't entombed in a particular system that rigidly forms your Biblical interpretation. You must ask yourself a question, are you committed to the truth of the Bible or a system of Bible interpretation.
I seems to me that an honest submission to the truth of God's word not only threatens the system of uniformitarianism, but it obliterates it. The flood ordained by God in judgment is proof all by itself that things will not remain unchanged as the scoffers sarcastically suggest in Peter's prophecy, which has come true! But these scoffers are natural men, unable to submit to the truth of God's word because it is spiritually discerned, so it is foolishness to them.
However foolish the cross may be to them though, according to Jude we are to cautiously snatch them from the fire. The only way to do that in my estimation is through preaching the message of Christ. Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. Soli Deo Gloria
There are no such things as "wooden literalists." That's a mythological character invented by preterist propagandists like Hank Hanegraaf and Gary Demar. And speaking of Gary Demar, his ministry, American Vision, is one of the foremost promoters of preterism in the United States. He is also a young earth creationist. So does the smear of "wooden literalism" apply to him as well? I think you did admit to being a preterist in the comments under a previous post, correct?
Keith, that link you shared for that new film is amazing... I can't wait to watch the full film! However, I'm struggling with a question which I hope someone can help me to answer. I'm from the New York City area and recently visited the Museum of Natural History. There I saw the reconstructed fossils of our "alleged" primitive ancestors, such as Australopithocus Africanus; a small ape-like pair of human ancestors...and many more just the same. How do we explain these finding?? Who are they?? In light of the Scriptures, where did they come from?? Why do these "cavemen" not look so much human as they do primates?? Someone please help me answer some of these questions... thank you!
Hi Fred: Thanks for the links to Joey- pretty good stuff.
'For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death. 16 'So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.' 17 "It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.
New American Standard Bible . 1986; Published in electronic form by Logos Research Systems, 1996 (electronic edition.) (Ex 31:15-17). La Habra, CA: The Lockman Foundation.
I think it is interesting that God summarized the Genesis days of creation and linked it to Israel the way he did. He had called out this people and used the sign of the seven day week, and more particularly the Sabbath as a "sanctified" sign post intended to link the days of creation to a "normal" 168 hour week. It would be odd to link the work week and day of rest to millions of years, and I do not think it is a stretch to say that the reason God used 7/24 hour days is because he had redemption in mind- to redeem a people to himself of both Jews and Gentiles- making one new man.
Can you put on your decoder ring and tell me what Geba, Rimmon, Benjamin's Gate, the First Gate, the Corner Gate and the Tower of Hananel means in Zech. 14:10?
Yes I'm a preterist but that doesn't matter I'm committed to truth not a system that tells me what to believe, why do you want to categorize people so much, just deal with their arguments.
Your original comment under #5 implies that John's view of Genesis is due to his "wooden literalism." Hence, if John weren't a "wooden literalist," he wouldn't take the view of Genesis that he does, i.e., YEC.
You are a preterist, and further imply your hermeneutics are superior. You then provide an unrelated example in Zechariah 14 so as to show how John's hermeneutics are messed up and then relate that to how he understands Genesis. I merely point out to you that Gary Demar, a well-known popularizer of preteristic ideas is also a young earth creationist. Thus, your theory about John's deplorable hermeneutics doesn't seem to wash. Care to try again?
Also 'wooden literalist's is John MacArthur's term.
So does your response mean you aren't going to rectify your criticism of John's "wooden literalistic" hermeneutic that yields a young earth view of Genesis with preterist, Gary Demar, and his young earth view of Genesis? Just wondering.
Re # 9, Felix wrote:
"Someone please help me answer some of these questions... thank you!"
Hi, Felix, this is from the "battle for the beginning" sermon series, creation day 6, part 1, from John MacArthur.
"Now I don't want to get too technical, but just to kind of show you that you can do your homework on this and the Bible will stand, the evolution of man has sort of been divided into three sort of Latin parts...ramapithecus, australopithecus, and pithecanthropus. And those names will be on the quiz, of course. These have all been...these are the Latin terms given to these supposed fossils and they have been heralded as transitional forms between ape and man. The average person on the street probably still believes these classifications represent genuine intermediate forms. But they don't. Even evolutionists are seriously divided and none of these classifications documents any human evolution at all."
Hope this helps. Remember, since evolution did not happen, all those "proofs" will be debunked sooner or later.

There is a christian website you can go to. www.answersingenesis.org
The bones are usually fakes and some of them, they made up from a
single bone, and some are real bones.
Cavemans are hunch over cause of lack of vitiman D but they were not savages like some museums. True.
Does it help?
Sure I'll try again, I used Zechariah 14 because it shows three important points relating to this blog,
1) Geological change, a mountain splitting in two and Jerusalem rising in elevation.
2) This passage according to dispensational theory happens fast, supporting an argument against Uniformitarianism
3) Zechariah 14 shows a very clear interpretational comparison between Christians who believe in inerrancy and have devoted there lives to Jesus.
You think Genesis is clear it's not by definition or this blog would be worthless, nothing more than cheerleading. When people who love God debate in order to find the truth blogs are God honoring if they deteriorate to Ad Hominem attacks they are a waist of time. I don't claim to have a decoder ring, I do claim to have an argument and an obvious example of poor interpretation, if i'm wrong show me and I'll change my mind,
There are no Ad Hominem attacks going on here. You are specifically leveling a charge against John's specific hermeneutic and I am telling you that one of your very own, probably a guy who taught you a lot of the stuff you believe about preterism, doesn't fall into the picture you are painting of John. Demar is a committed young earth creationist and a preterist (your position) and yet he doesn't seem to believe how one understands Zechariah 14 is any way a problem with believing Genesis in the exact same way as John. How exactly do you answer this problem to your accusation? You have a person who holds to nearly the exact same hermeneutic of the Bible you do. But he's a YEC. You're just going to ignore this blatant contradiction against your critical remarks against John?
Bernardo Felix ...
Your question is addressed in the film.
One of the reasons I like the film, perhaps the main reason, is its powerful attestation to the Gospel. These men are Godly men who seek to bring glory to our Creator God by giving testimony to the truth about scientific discoveries. They go on to give a very straight forward presentation of how all of this fits into the redemptive plan God ordained before he formed the world.
I hope you guys will invest the few dollars necessary to order the film and watch it. When you do make sure you watch the included outtakes...great stuff there as well.
When any person is in a system of understanding (Democrat, Republican, Dispensational, Preterist) they identify with the group, it's human nature, in fact thats one of the reasons why I stopped working at Grace Community Church. Everyone has their tradition, but I feel no allegence to any Bible teacher even my favorite teachers like JM when it comes to the Bible. Of course I respect and emulate JM but not in every way. Do you think a Christian should take on all the beliefs of a particular teacher?
This will be my last attempt: I am not accusing you of following men, or whatever. I am merely pointing out that your claim that John is reading Genesis with wooden literalism is rather empty seeing that a person who holds to the exact same hermeneutic you do agrees with John on how we are to interpret the book of Genesis. For some reason you seem to be unable to see this severe disconnect with your accusation against John's reading of Scripture.
#2 Alex Soriano,
Last days are closer. Yes, Humans will forget the first judgement and
mocking it. And the Flood is not a false belief. It's the judgement God
did cause the humans were wicked to their bones. Jesus says if one does
not agree on one thing in the Bible, and He said how would one believe
the rest. Does that help?
"How does the catastrophic global flood threaten the system of uniformitarianism?"
The flood literally demolished the system. I'm sure when Noah was making the ark, he was met with the same uniformitarianism we have today. Yet, sadly they did not repent and were literally destroyed. The future judgment will arrive in the same fashion, and it will be even more terrible. Matthew 24:37-39, Matthew 24:21
God is always faithful to His Word. He will fulfill in His own time.
Do you think a Christian should take on all the beliefs of a particular teacher?
I think the answer is in 1 Corinthians 1:12-13
We need unity for the Gospel's sake. You see how these Uniformitarianism and other heresies are becoming pervasive and hindering our effort in evangelism. I believe these whole discourses on creation will teach us on how to engage the belief system of those people whom we are supposed to preach the gospel.
You don't need to hang around with one teacher - why should you? Even JM and other bible teachers won't even recommend that but at least you need someone whom you can trust and accept even with their hard-to-believe tradition. How foolish it is to stop in the ministry just because you don't feel allegiance with someone.If that feeling is hindering your preaching of the gospel, then, it's time to have a deeper meditation on 1 Cor. 1:10-14.
You said it in the last 4 blogs' subjects. Why this subject about wooden literalism. Is it hard to understand the answers of people helping you to understand what is the truth of God's Word . God gave JM a plan in his life to be a pastor. God speaks through him. But to let you know God does not want us to argue about His Word. What God said, is what He says in the Bible.
For example, In this subject is about the Flood and the key to it.
What do you think of the subject about the key prior to the Flood?
Hi Folks: The Question at hand is "How does the Global Flood threaten the system of Uniformatarianism?"
The Biblical Teaching on the Deluge is that it is a one time event. The results of that Flood would overturn the uniformatarian view of fossils, and evolution of every species which has existed since the Flood. (And since we have had geologist on this blog which discount the uniformatarian view- we should be good --right, no of course not. Catastrophic changes that have occurred are still thought of in uniformatarian terms, because without it evolution could not take place. There has to be a period of relative calm for the "evolutionary gestation" of the single proteins to single cell to fish to amphibian to animal to ape to man. If there is too much of change, there is a chance that "chance" would not be able to produce the first parents... grandma and grandpa Singlecell. (I sure miss them- they came along before the advent of stone hammers- we could have and a picture or monument or something). Anyway... Chance is a fickled master, I had hoped to look like Robert Redford but instead I look like Paul Tucker- what are the odds. I hope that the chances are good that my wife will still speak to me, he he. If there were really any chance for uniformatarianism, we should all look alike,clones off the old Grandpa. (Probably not true- but sounds good.)
#26 Alex Soriano
You are right on one thing. Trust no one but God. Remember that God
sends godly men to help us. That's the Holy Spirit job. Does it
JM's is setting up a straw man when he speaks of uniformitarianism with respect to evolution, punctuated equiblirum generally means there were periods of equiblearium and then periods of punctuations (change). I believe this was simply Stephen Gould's fix to escape the fact that there is inadequate fossil evidence to explain transitional forms. I am not in any way an evolutionist, but I think arguments such as JM has given puts Christians in a bad light, evolutionists do believe in al kinds of change, in fact they say their system can't work without it.
This may be of help:
This recent article is great...here are a few quotes followed by a link to the article:
"...the doctrine of recent creation is vitally important to true biblical Christianity."
"Compromising monotheists, both in ancient Israel and in the early Christian church, repeatedly resorted to various allegorical interpretations of Scripture, involving some form of protracted creation, seeking to amalgamate creationist/redemptionist theology with pagan humanistic philosophy. Almost inevitably, however, such compromises ended in complete apostasy on the part of the compromisers."
"The wastefulness and randomness and cruelty which is now so evident in the world (both in the groaning creation of the present and in the fossilized world of the past) must represent an intrusion into His creation, not a mechanism for its accomplishment."
"The fact is that geologists are today finally abandoning their outmoded 19th-century uniformitarianism, realizing that catastrophism provides the only realistic explanation for the great geological structures of the earth."
"If it were not for the continued apathetic and compromising attitude of Christian theologians and other intellectuals on this vital doctrine of recent creation, evolutionary humanism would long since have been exposed and defeated."
All quotes from this article:
Hey Bernardo #9
"I'm from the New York City area and recently visited the Museum of Natural History. There I saw the reconstructed fossils of our "alleged" primitive ancestors, such as Australopithocus Africanus; a small ape-like pair of human ancestors...and many more just the same. How do we explain these finding?? Who are they?? In light of the Scriptures, where did they come from?? Why do these "cavemen" not look so much human as they do primates?? Someone please help me answer some of these questions... thank you!"
The American Museum of Natural History there in New York is supposedly awesome, I want to get there myself someday. Did you take pics?
What you have in australopithecines is an extinct genus of hominid from Africa which lived from the late Pliocine to the early Pleistocene. We're going back quite a bit in time, so that's why these "cavemen" look not so much human. Usually caveman refers to our own species Homo sapiens back when we lived in small tribes and hung around caves in Europe and Asia, or sometimes to Neaderthals which were a related human species from Europe and the Middle East that's now extinct. Australopithecines were confined to the African continent, and were much more primitive and apelike.
They came from even more primitive ancestors. Or perhaps they were created directly by God. You'll find many Christians on either side and they all believe Scripture supports them. Most don't think it's a critical issue, so try not to be unduly put out worrying about it.
You'll notice Scripture doesn't mention dinosaurs, or trilobites, or elasmosaurs, or pterosaurs, or kangaroos, or mammoths, or giant pandas, or omomyids, or toxodons, or moas, or many other things either living or extinct. No problem.

Sorry, you lost me in the mumbo jumbo, are you saying these are "real" ancestors of man?, and if so, how long ago did they live?
Re: "They came from even more primitive ancestors. Or perhaps they were created directly by God."
Before or after Adam???
Bernardo #9 and Dylan #32,
The question is they were "reconstructed" out of what? Usually out of someone's imagination. See the following articles to see the YEC response to the evolutionist's propaganda.
Hey Jorge #33,
Australopithecines would seem to be primitive members of the hominid family tree, the family that includes humans living today. Whether a particular australopithecus species is the *direct* ancestor of our genus (Homo) is probably not determinable for sure. The last of their fossils dates from early in the Pleistocene, circa two million years ago.
Before or afer Adam depends on when you think Adam lived. If Adam is the first man, or is a symbol for the beginning of modern humans, then they were definitely before.
Re # 35
Hi, Dylan, This from Dictionary.com
"The most complete Australopithecines skeleton found so far, named Lucy by its discoverers, is estimated to be just over 3 million years old. While many scientists believe that australopithecines are ancestors of modern humans, not enough fossils have yet been found to establish any direct descent."
"The evidence given... makes it overwhelmingly likely that Lucy was no more than a variety of pygmy chimpanzee, and walked the same way (awkwardly upright on occasions, but mostly quadrupedal).
The 'evidence' for the alleged transformation from ape to man is extremely unconvincing."
SOURCE: Albert W. Mehlert,
Former Evolutionist & paleoanthropology researcher. "Lucy - Evolution's Solitary Claim for Ape/Man." CRS Quarterly, Volume 22, No. 3, p. 145
I guess you could produce evidence that Lucy is still a good example of evolution. But that would point out the problem we faced here in these series of blogs. Who are you going to believe, science (so called; ever-changing), or the bible (inerrant) as the word of God?
Or maybe you just don't want to mix science with scripture?
Dylan Perkins
You are right! Adam is the first man. No other man before him.
Adam from the dust of the ground and Eve from his rib.
Cause if there was humans before Adam then the people before Adam
are not worth it in God's eyes. Then why would God make Adam
and Eve sinless and naked. Seems some think oh God made a mistake
then God had to create Adam and Eve. Seem odd.
God says it's good when He created the heavens and the earth. I will pray for you and I encourage you read God's Word literally. God bless.
Remember God never makes mistakes. He created a perfect heaven and earth for Adam and Eve. No sin in them. Then sad day when Eve and Adam ate the fruit then sinned which cause pain, suffering, death, sickness. Sin will reign in us until death. Sad.
Remember Jesus died for you and He is alive! God is our Creator.
and Eve.
Jorge #36
Is there anything from the dictionary.com quote I should be responding to? Looks fine to me, as far as I know.
The other thing from the Creation Research Society is not really anything to hang your hat on. You have to consider the source in this case: in my experience, creationist sites are not the best places to go to if you want to find out about something like this. Their purpose isn't to disseminate accurate scientific info, but rather to tell their target audience what they want to hear.
Pygmy chimpanzees are around today. They're the species "Pan paniscus" whose common name is the bonobo. Lucy wasn't one of them. I have not heard any legitimate anthropologist or paleontologist or primatologist etc say that. Lucy belongs to a species that doesn't exist anymore.
I definitely don't want to mix science and scripture, you're right.
Anyway, as it looks like we've reached the end of this whole series, I don't know if I'll stick around or not. Anyone that wants to, feel free to email me at dylanologist [at] hotmail [dot] com for a chat.

Absolutely fantastic! I am insanely jealous over here.Who designed the shirts? Serious skillz.
I have not had that vintage, but I have had a very old Mouton before, but I am curious what everyone thought of the '88 Lynch Bages (the 85 Mouton is just a crazy bottle to bring....ditto for the Lynch Bages. Wow!) Was it perhaps the more pizza friendly of the two Left Bank Bordeaux on the table?
Peter, if I may ask, in what fashion are you storing your wines?
OK, kid. Now you are just showing off.Seriously, Geoff, we should think of doing something like that around these parts. Other than Willard, who lives in this area?
ringkingpin,The Texas Summit at Craig's place was for only two days. I flew in on Saturday and arrived at Craig's place at around 1 PM. We drank the two Bordeaux's around 6 PM or so, when Craig started making the pizzas. The other wines I brought were drunk the next day (Sunday). My practice when drinking the old wines is to sample them upon opening. If they are fine, I just drink from there. Sometimes I will just let the bottle sit opened for a while or else decanter it. Craig has several wine decanters, one of which he used for the two Bordeaux's. I always use the wine-searcher tool except that I exclude auction wines so that the prices only reflect retail level wine prices. I told Tom that going through my wine box can be an interesting experience since I never know what I am going to find. For example, I had completely forgotten the 1985 Mouton because I only had one bottle of it. I also stumbled across a 1984 Heitz Martha's Vineyard cab. It most likely is past its prime at the moment, and its price has declined to a low of $184 a bottle, but that was a super wine in its day. Tom mentioned that there were online resources for keeping track of wines. There is some merit to using something like that. I'm sure that I have some wines that need to be drunk fairly soon if the wine-searcher's "drink-by-dates" are to be believed. As you might imagine, there was a lot of discussion of the wines. In my experience, that is usually what happens when you roll out the really good old stuff.Peter
everyone drunk fat and happy, kicking back pretty much sums up
It's just that relaxed environment.
Gene, is this your first time tasting Craig's pies? How do they compare to the other Neapolitan places you've been to? Does their vastly superior appearance translate into a vastly superior taste?
Craig, were you nervous at all about cooking for the 'big guns'? Am I missing something, but is 63% hydration new? Are you trying to chase some of that Cane texture? And, if so, did you succeed? I didn't mention it in the Cane thread, buy in my experience, as the water increases, generally speaking, the tenderness decreases.
I'm honored to have been asked to do the design for the shirts, as well as be invited. I'm happy with how the design came out, and proud to have been a (distant) part of the event.Hey Ev, if we can't make it next year either, how would you feel about hosting the Midatlantic Pizza Summit? Need a WFO and someone who can make it sing, and you're the guy around here!Only change I'd request is that it take place during the fall - better camping and WFO weather!
Peter, where are you on Neapolitan pizza? Ready to go WFO shopping?
It would be easy to fall in love with Craig's pizzas. They are almost like a new food group

Emmy season is here! For the next two weeks, voters will be checking off names and shows they think are worthy of getting a nomination come�July 10. We at TVGuide.com have a few selections in mind ourselves. First up: our dream ballot for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.
Look back at last year's�Emmys
Andre Braugher,�Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Braugher won his first�Emmy�16 years ago for playing�Homicide: Life on the Street's Det. Frank Pembleton and ought to pick up another for a very different man of the badge. As the no-nonsense, openly gay Capt. Holt, Braugher turned a typical straight man (no pun intended) part into first-rate stone-faced deadpan. A seven-time nominee (including for the short-livedGideon's Crossing�and�Men of a Certain Age) and two-time winner, he shouldn't have too much trouble at least receiving a nod.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson,�Modern Family
We know, we know. The�ModFam�guys are�so�yesterday (except in the academy's eyes) and will likely dominate the category once again, but if only one of them could get in, we'd tip Ferguson. Mitch and Cam's season-long wedding story line (watch the wedding here)�provided material galore and Ferguson rose to the occasion — most notably in "Message Received," when Mitch and Jay came to blows over the latter's doubts about the wedding. Besides, with Eric Stonestreet owning two�Emmys�and Ty Burrell with one, we'd like to see JTF get his due.
Tony Hale,�Veep
Hale ended�Modern Family's three-year reign in the category and there's no reason he can't go back-to-back with his increasingly groveling and hilarious bag man. Just watch Gary's pathetic anxiety over his sore shoulder and try not to laugh — and experience sympathy pain.�
Page 2 of 3 - Emmys: TVGuide.com's picks for supporting actress in a comedy series
Albert Tsai,�Trophy Wife
Tsai will forever be the poster child for the perfect oddball, precocious sitcom kid. The trope can be annoying at worst and clich�d at best, but when done right, it's gold, as the scene-stealer proved with his infectious charm and great comic sensibility that belies his 9 years. Tsai has scored a Critics' Choice nomination and if he somehow, against all odds, makes it into the�Emmy�race, we'll be doing�Bertwheels�for days.
Christopher Evan Welch,�Silicon Valley
Welch, who�died in December�of lung cancer, was only in five episodes of the HBO comedy, but left a lasting impression. Cryptic, creepy and strangely hypnotic, Welch's billionaire tycoon Peter Gregory was the best thing about the series, and we can't help but think about what could've been. Recent posthumous�Emmy�nominees include Kathryn Joosten (Desperate Housewives) and John Ritter (8 Simple Rules).
Parker Young,�Enlisted
Atten-shun: Parker Young is not just a pretty face. The former model made us giggle onSuburgatory, but he truly showed off his comedic chops on the gone-to-soon military comedy, as his lil' bro Randy mixed the sweetly dim with aww-worthy heart. Someone get this guy a new comedy ASAP.
Who would you nominate?

This post Making sense of mens fragrance ads posed a severe threat to my keybord as I was slurping coffee. Example:
Clearly the good life consists of being able to spend lazy afternoons on a gigantic tree branch admiring the results of consuming web-purchased enlargement pills over a sustained period of time.
And it struck me that we could be doing this for hours - trying to make sense of fragrance ads like the full frontal nude YSL ad for smegma7, sorry that's "M7". Shall we? (Remember you can post images in comments folks!)
(click on images for larger versions)
"Oh snuggles, do you wuv me more than anytink in the whole wide world? Will you love me for evah and evah and evah? Coz I wuv you so moishe! My Cocktête, my pookie, my poopsie-butt, my darling mopsy-head. Will you still wuve me when I'm sixty-fouh? Promesse?"
It's like a pink Pepe le pew. Yeah gimme some of that. Not.
Yes, we know - perfume shall make us attractive and lead to sex - but having a woman rubbing herself with a dildo-like bottle in the ad is just a tad un-subtle, don't you think? I mean look at that bottle. It even has the jap eye. Realism rules.
Oh, and wasn't it Echo who withered away fading from grief as her true love the ultimate himbo Narcissus stared at his own reflection in a lake? Echo once talked so much rubbish that Juno forfeited her ability to speak except reply. This is something the modern woman wants to emulate? Ho-kay. What a terrible name.
Echo, hmm? I never thought of a portable CD player as a sex toy. Must try that sometime.
That Promesse ad is the cheeziest I've seen recently.
Promesee Ad - wuve me when I'm sixty-fouh? Promesse?" - or at least until you realize you like to kiss the boys. (pinky OUT - check the pic)

Portales heading to quarters
March 3, 2007
The Portales Lady Rams used long-range shooting and stifling defense to punch their ticket to a 25th consecutive Class 3A state quarterfinals appearance.
Senior shooting guard Briana Hernandez poured in 23 points, including six 3-pointers, as the defending state champions overwhelmed Cobre 74-31 in a first-round game of the state tournament Friday night at Portales High School.
"It's real satisfying (to play well in my last game at home)," Hernandez said. "I'm just sad that it has to come to an end. It all just played itself out well."
No. 16 seed Cobre stayed close with the top-seeded Lady Rams in the first period, as Portales led 10-6 with under a minute left in the first.
However, senior Sabrina Villanueva sank a pair of 3-pointers to help Portales surge to a 20-point lead.
Hernandez hit four 3s in the Lady Rams' 32-point second quarter, which gave Portales a 47-17 halftime lead.
"It was a total team effort," Portales junior Vicki Huber said. "We all love each other so much, and we just clicked tonight. It's amazing."
Villanueva and fellow senior Kaycee Quick added nine points each for the Lady Rams (16-9).
Junior shooting guard Cecilia North led the Lady Indians (12-14) with 15 points, including three 3-pointers.
"At times we lost (North)," Portales coach Brenda Gomez said. "And that disappointed me. We should pay more attention to where they're at, and know where she's at all the time. In the first half she had 12 of their 17 points. You've got to pay more attention to that and not let her have that."
Portales meets District 4-3A foe Ruidoso in Tuesday's quarterfinals at the Pit in Albuquerque. The Lady Rams have beaten Ruidoso (17-10) three times this season.
Ruidoso, the No. 9 seed, beat Laguna-Acoma 61-52 on Friday.
"We've got to concentrate on what we're going to be doing," Gomez said. "In the state tournament, anything can happen."

Thrift'd // Gold Alarm Clock
9 comments:
Agreed! I have one of these as well, digital is just a mood killer :DReplyDelete
I made the same decision last year! I use my phone for my alarm and didn't like the light from digital. I found one at Ikea for about $5 - not as pretty as yours and black instead of gold, but they're perfect.ReplyDelete
What a score for a buck!ReplyDelete
I have a clock beside my bed and the battery in it has been dead for 5 years. Right around the time my first daughter was born. ;) But I can't get rid of it because I like a little bling by the bed.ReplyDelete
So pretty! One dollar?!? You are one world class thrifter, girl!ReplyDelete
What a great find, Kristin! I still have the white Sony "cube" alarm clock that I've had for almost 20 years! Ugh. Time to find something new! :)ReplyDelete
Would you mind sharing some of your favorite local shops? I promise I wont take all of the good stuff! Just always looking for a new spot!ReplyDelete
pretty find! a room can always use a little gold in it!ReplyDelete

Every state has their own rules and regulations regarding car insurance. The one thing that is the same is that every state requires you to have car insurance and each one requires you to have liability coverage. That is where the commonalities stop. Each state lists the coverage you must have to operate a vehicle on their highways and byways but the amount of the liability differs from state to state. Here is what you need to know about New York car insurance.
All drivers who have vehicles registered in New York have to have liability insurance, uninsured motorist coverage, and no-fault insurance.
The liability insurance that you must carry is in the following amounts:
- $25,000 to cover injuries to a one single person
- $50,000 for any injuries to more than one person
- $50,000 to cover death expenses for one person
- $100,000 to cover the death expenses or more than one person
- $10,000 to cover property damage
You must have uninsured motorist coverage in case you are involved in an accident and the other person does not have insurance. You must have at least $25,000 coverage that will take care of the injuries for a single person and $50,000 for injuries that could be required for more than one person. This coverage does not pertain to property damage of any kind.
You can add supplementary uninsured motorist coverage that will raise those limits up to $250,000 for each person, per accident or $500,000 for each accident.
No-fault insurance is required by drivers in New York to help with accidents when it doesn't matter whose fault it is. The basic coverage for no-fault insurance has a limit of $50,000 for each person for their medical expenses, income replacement of 80% if they cannot work because of the accident and up to $25 per day for extra help or expenses the person may need. There is also a death benefit above the $50,000 limit which is an additional $2,000.
Your no-fault coverage will pay for your medical expenses before your own health insurance will. If you still have expenses after your no-fault insurance pays for them then your own health insurance will finish paying for them.
Make sure you speak to your insurance agent about additional coverage you may wish to add to your policy including comprehensive and collision insurance on your vehicles.
