A Lawrenceburg man was on his way to surprise his girlfriend with a gift, but was sidetracked by police confiscating $7,200 worth of pot from his residence.
Charles Scharbrough, 45, of 1060 Mudlick Road was charged Oct. 15 with cultivating marijuana five plants or more and a failure to wear a seat belt.
Lawrenceburg Police Officer Jeremy Cornish said he performed a routine traffic stop last Thursday afternoon on Scharbrough's vehicle because of a possible DUI complaint and a failure to wear a seat belt, according to the citation.
The grandmother and parents accused of tying up a 3-year-old girl for up to 16 hours a day laughed and hugged as they exited a courthouse elevator Tuesday morning just minutes after appearing in Anderson Circuit Court.
The grandmother, Carolyn Case, also smiled as she exited the courthouse by one door, while the girl's parents, Rebecca and Herbert Medley, attempted to hide their faces while exiting from another door.

Horace Lawson is fighting neglect with a retaining wall.
He grips another large field rock in his bare hand and drops it into place on the wall, now standing about two feet tall.
His 8-year-old grandson, Isaiah Black, rides his bike behind him as Lawson works.
Both Lawson and Black walk out to this patch of land between Jenny Lillard Road and Wooldridge Spur nearly every day, cleaning and revamping a portion of Anderson County that previously sat forgotten until Lawson decided to do something about it.
A proposal for a new city sign ordinance — drafted with input from businesses, the Anderson County chamber of commerce and city officials — is scheduled to be back on the table before the city council after more than a year of discussion, according to City Attorney Robert Myles.
Mayor Edwinna Baker asked Myles to update council members at Monday night's meeting on the progress of the sign ordinance, the enforcement of which prompted more than a dozen business owners to voice their concerns before the council in June 2011.
The T.B. Ripy house on Main Street rocked with a different sound than creaking floorboards this weekend.
In a small drawing room of the Lawrenceburg mansion, Jenny Mann — the lead singer of the band Blameshift — debated grabbing her prescription ear plugs before running through another take for their music video.
"For the beauty of the shot, I'll go deaf," Mann joked as she took her place in front of a bedazzled microphone stand.
A Versailles man is scheduled for sentencing Tuesday on charges that include his third DUI in the past five years and fleeing from police.
Jason D. Nelson of 324 Ridgewood Dr. pleaded guilty to driving under the influence, first-degree evading police and other charges stemming from a traffic stop late last year on Keaton Lane.
The Anderson County Fiscal Court approved a $19,000 engineering contract with a local firm Cann-Tech to help design and oversee construction of a new recycling facility at the county highway facility.
The building will part of the county's overall recycling plan, which will include an eventual end to curbside pickup and bins located in various areas of the city and county.
The three people charged with tying up a 3-year-old for up to 16 hours a day are scheduled to appear Tuesday, Oct. 16 in Anderson Circuit Court.
Grandmother Carolyn Case, mother Rebecca Medley and stepfather Herbert Medley are scheduled to appear in front of Circuit Court Judge Charles Hickman for a disposition hearing at 9 a.m.
All three have already pleaded not guilty.
Case and Rebecca Medley have been released from jail on their own recognizance after being charged with first-degree criminal child abuse of a person under the age of 12.
The Christian Academy of Lawrenceburg's school photo needed one more person.
Not another teacher or a student.
It needed Ashley Elliott's husband, Staff Sgt. Colby Elliott.
Ashley, an instructor at the Academy, believed she was picking her husband up in Frankfort later that afternoon after his debriefing. After being deployed to Afghanistan in January with the National Guard, Colby was finally coming home from his third tour of duty.
The Elliott family reunion came a little earlier than expected.
A Lawrenceburg woman charged with DUI and attempting to bribe a police officer was scheduled for a pretrial conference today (Wednesday) in Anderson District Court.
Malory R. Johnson, 24, of 121 Chautauqua St. allegedly offered $100 to Anderson County Sheriff's Deputy Alan Robinson "to let her go" after he determined she had been drinking and driving, according to court documents.
The deputy was called to assist a stranded motor vehicle on Mill Creek Pike. When he arrived, Robinson said Johnson told him that her vehicle had blown a tire.

Netanyahu Warns of Tax Increases as Cabinet Clears Controversial Deficit
Promises Bank of Israel's Fischer he will maintain responsible fiscal policy.
Ignoring warnings by the Bank of Israel and the Finance Ministry's budget division, the cabinet on Sunday has agreed to widen the 2013 budget deficit to 3% of Israel's gross domestic product.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned, however, that keeping the deficit at 3%, not more, will require stern measures.
"We will need to take steps, in the area of taxes as well, to meet this target," he said. "But I don't want to increase the tax burden excessively. I think this is the message."
Only two ministers opposed the plan, which was formulated in private last week by Netanyahu and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz without consulting the treasury's senior staff. Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz exited the meeting, leaving his "no" vote on paper and no explanation, while Deputy Prime Minister Dan Meridor, a former finance minister, also voted against the measure.
Apart from doubling the projected deficit from the 1.5% of GDP originally targeted, the cabinet also approved Netanyahu and Steinitz's longer-term deficit reduction plan, which calls for a gradual reduction on the deficit to 1.5%.
During the meeting, Netanyahu turned to Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer, who publicly criticized the wider target last week, and signaled that the deficit increase was a one-time event.
"I am going to use your words against raising the deficit to 3% over and over - both at the cabinet table and outside as well," the prime minster said. "I say to those who say that we can squander, 'Listen to what the governor said.' We will act responsibly as we have acted so far and will continue to in the future."
While widening the deficit may save the prime minster the political headaches of draconian spending cuts and higher taxes, the financial markets are especially sensitive to government overspending at a time when Europe is grappling with massive debt and bank bailouts.
Nevertheless, Netanyahu said that given the circumstances, he had little choice but to increase the overspending for 2013. The government is trapped between growing demands for spending and commitments already made - among them free preschool education starting this September - and declining tax revenues as the economy slows.
"I didn't want to increase the tax burden excessively, not in 2003 when I was finance minister and not now," he said. "When you increase the tax burden, you depress growth, and when you depress growth, you do two tings - increase unemployment and in the end also cause the deficit to grow."
He said the new deficit target is the same level fixed by the European Union. "Germany is perhaps the only country in Europe that is under this target level. Most countries, maybe even all of them, have even higher [deficit] targets," he said.
On top of raising "certain taxes" that he did not specify, the prime minster said the government would also have to cut costs in order not to exceed its separate target for spending growth next year.
"The decision [to raise the deficit level] doesn't require a change in the spending target," he stressed. "In the final analysis, the government has control over spending targets and this is where we will act with the greatest stringency."
Deficit opposition
The increase of the deficit was opposed by Gal Hershkowitz, head of the Finance Ministry's budget division, and by the ministry's accountant general, Michal Abadi-Boiangiu. In shekel terms, it will boost the deficit in next year's budget from NIS 14.3 billion to NIS 28.5 billion.
Steinitz, however, defended the cabinet decision in defiance of his own senior staff.
"The structure of the new deficit that has been approved preserves the fiscal responsibility we have acted with to date," the finance minster said after the cabinet vote. "It is in line with world economic conditions on the one hand, and enables us to continue on the route to cutting the debt-to-GDP ratio to 60% by the end of the decade."
The debt-to-GDP ratio, along with the targets for annual deficit and spending growth, is another cornerstone of the government's fiscal policy.
At the Finance Ministry, the official statement sounded a note of resignation. It noted that the deficit target, which is fixed by law, is a multiyear goal. "On occasion there are changing conditions and economic parameters that have a budgetary impact that is not in line with the path fixed in the law," the ministry said. "Therefore, the Finance Ministry will formulate a package of measures needed to match the trajectory of expenses and the trajectory of the deficit according to the law, as well as factoring in economic forecasts, tax policy and the extent of [budgetary] commitments."
A senior treasury official warned on Sunday that if the government does not act on spending, the deficit will in fact reach 4.3% to 4.5% of GDP, according to the ministry's projections. The 3% target can't be met unless there are deep cuts in spending and tax hikes, a view echoed by Manuel Trajtenberg (see story below ).
"The debate with the Bank of Israel on a deficit of 2.5% or 2% is no longer relevant," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The problem is much bigger."
Opposition leader Shelly Yacimovich accused Netanyahu of belatedly adopting the social-economic agenda of her Labor Party after years of fighting against it. But, she said, his government was doing little to reduce income inequality or reduce the power of business groups and the wealthy.
"Resources and capital continue to be accumulated by small groups while the burden falls on the middle class and poor," she said.

On the Licensing of Innovations
We study a three-stage, asymmetric duopoly game of R&D rivalry. The stages are: (1) development of an innovation; (2) fixed-fee licensing of the innovation; and (3) sale of the final product. We find that major innovations will not be licensed, but that equally efficient firms will tend to license minor innovations. For some innovations, licensing is both privately and socially undesirable. If at least one of the two producers would refuse to license (were it to acquire the innovation), then licensing will not occur; an excluding firm will obtain the innovation. The possibility of licensing may decrease the returns to innovation if the licensee appropriates most of the licensing gains to trade.

* He has been dubbed The Bay Harbor Butcher by the media, but his supporters refer to him as The Dark Defender. Hundreds of garbage bags have been discoveredscattered upon the floor of the bay's harbor and every one of them contains body parts, evidence of untimely deaths of unspeakable horror. The common denominator among all of these hundreds of victims is that all of them were guilty of committing very horrible, evil things and for whatever reason slipped through our justice system to continue on doing their evil doing. There is an All Points Bulletin out currently for The Bay Harbor Butcher officially, He is considered armed and dangerous so approach cautiously and notify your local law enforcement with any information immediately. The Dark Defender however has gained much support and sympathy, and it is silently hoped within the majority of the community that his apprehension will never ever come to be and that he will continue to commit his dark, avenging deeds. *

Guardiola content despite end of winning run
Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola remained in upbeat mood despite seeing his team's winning streak come to an end at Real Betis.
Barca went into the clash at the Estadio Manuel Ruiz de Lopera having won 10 successive games in La Liga but they had to settle for a point after playing out a 2-2 draw.
It could have been much worse for the runaway leaders though as they trailed 2-0 after just 25 minutes and were indebted to a brace from Samuel Eto'o, whose equaliser came six minutes from the end, for salvage something from the match.
Guardiola said: "We came to win and it didn't happen, but there are no reproaches. We cannot say that we didn't fight and that we didn't put the effort in. We battled throughout and created many chances.
"When a team have performed the way Barca have you cannot reproach them at all. I'm very satisfied. I worry if we slip up when we've played badly, but I don't have this feeling.
"I think we dominated the game. I would have liked like to have won, but it is what it is. We picked up a point."
The draw means Barca's lead at the summit can now be trimmed back to 10 points if Real Madrid beat Sporting Gijon away this evening.
"There are still 15 games to play, a lot of the league ahead. We've been saying this for a long time, you have to continue forward and take it step by step," Guardiola added.
He also had words of praise for Betis, who despite spending big over the last six months find themselves worryingly close to the relegation zone.
Last weekend's win derby win over Sevilla and the draw against Barca have left Paco Chaparro's side six points above the bottom three ahead of today's matches and Guardiola envisages no problems for the Seville-based outfit come the end of the campaign.
"I want to congratulate Betis for the game they played, I expected our opponents to play like that," Guardiola said.
"It was an entertaining game and the fans will have enjoyed it. We faced a great team, made up of very good players. We expect to see them safe at the end of the season."

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York
I recently received a bill for radiation treatment. I want to pay the bill but can only send a small amount each month. The patient financial service rep told me how much I must pay each month and I can't afford it...if I miss 2 consecutive months of payment they will turn it over to a collection agency. I am on a fixed income (senior, collecting social security) this is my only income. Can I just pay them a small amount like $10/month?

|Haha. To be honest though, I rarely use the prostitutes. I suppose it is because I very rarely (and I mean RARELY) die in the game so I don't to have extra health. For new players though, good trick.
I just found out last year that prostitutes give you extra health. I wish I knew that when I first started playing.

OWEN SOUND -- Kirk Maltby says that if the NHL season is cancelled, the two sides owe it to the game to continue working so the 2005-06 season starts on time.
"If the season is lost this year and we don't play, there definitely should be no excuse why they can't lock themselves in some room and get something worked out between now and next fall," Maltby said yesterday after speaking to the OHL All-Star Classic luncheon.
The former Owen Sound captain has won three Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings.
"I wish we could go back to the summer and have the thing resolved. But that's not what happened, and now it's just a matter of using what time is left in trying to get this resolved and something salvaged for this year."
While many NHLers are playing in Europe during the lockout, Maltby, 32, has stayed at home in the Detroit area with his wife and 10-month-old daughter.
"Heaven forbid there is no season next year. (But) then I would maybe consider going somewhere," he said.
Three of his Detroit teammates -- Chris Chelios, Kris Draper and Derian Hatcher -- joined the Motor City Mechanics of the United Hockey League on Tuesday. Hatcher played last night in Flint, Mich., while Chelios and Draper will play their first games tomorrow.
The UHL has a salary cap and the signings brought strong reaction from some league players.
"The hypocrisy of it is unbelievable," all-time minor league scoring leader Kevin Kerr of the Flint Generals told the Detroit Free Press. "They don't want a salary cap but they'll come to a league that has a salary cap and take someone else's job."
Maltby said he respects the opinion of dissenting players.
"I can definitely understand where they're coming from. I'm not sure of the situation there . . . whether there was room . . . but I can definitely see it from a person on another team, or a person looking from the outside in.
"It's the same situation with the guys who have gone over to Europe during the lockout. It's the nature of the beast, I guess. In a sense, it's no different from the Europeans coming over here.
"(But) everyone is playing because they love the game. I don't hold them at fault for that, but I can definitely see the point and view of a person saying that."
Then there's the issue of being injured while playing in an inferior league.
"I would never want to knock any league . . . (but) obviously those three guys have a little more at stake," Maltby said.
"It shows we just want to play."

Kids have a 'scary' good time at library Halloween event
An estimated 425-450 people went through the public library's annual Halloween childrne's event, this year called "The Labyrinth of Not-So-Terrible-Terror." The event started at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31. Library event and gallery coordinator Katie Chaffee said it was "wildly successful."
Visitors travelled through the "Labyrinth of Not-So-Terrible-Terror" with a guide. The kids were asked to help find "dragon eggs" and return them to a wizard. They then recieved a candy "reward."
Chaffee said the annual "adventure" was put on by the library in cooperation with friends, the River Falls Royal Ambassadors, River Falls High School FBLA students and other area people.

Packers' Wells drawing high praise
While fans marvel at the exploits of Aaron Rodgers and his receivers, Packers coaches and teammates point to Wells as perhaps the smartest player on the field.
The eighth-year player out of Tennessee is the brains behind an offensive line that helped Rodgers and the Packers pass their way to a Super Bowl championship last season and a 7-0 start going into Sunday's game at San Diego.
Wells comes as close as anybody to mistake-free play most weeks, and he might understand Mike McCarthy's offense as well as anyone.
"I've told Scott this before: It's a lot like growing up in my house as a kid, when your dad's not talking to you, things are going well. I don't talk to Scott very often," McCarthy said.
Packers left guard T.J. Lang says playing alongside Wells has gone a long way toward helping him make the transition from backup to starter this season.
"He doesn't get the recognition I think he deserves," Lang said. "But he's a great player. We all know that."
Wells prefers to defer credit to his teammates, but does seem to feel a certain sense of redemption after briefly losing his starting spot in 2009.
"It was extremely difficult," Wells said. "Anybody with some pride is going to find that extremely difficult. But at the same time, you know in this business, as long as your foot's in the door, you have to wait for the opportunity. And I got another opportunity."
Jason Spitz was given the job in training camp that year and started the season opener, but Wells was called on the very next game after an injury to left tackle Chad Clifton. The line was shuffled and Spitz went to guard.
Wells never gave the job back. He now has started 42 straight games at center, including the postseason. Spitz's Packers career eventually was sidetracked by injury, and he now is a backup in Jacksonville.
"We'll never know if I'm a different player because of it," Wells said. "But it was a challenging time in my career, as it would be for anybody and other guys who have been through a similar situation. But at the same time, you just have to press forward, take it all in stride and continue to show up, do your job and take advantage of the opportunities you have. I feel I've been able to do that."
Wells has committed only two holding penalties since the start of the 2010 season. He allowed 1.5 sacks last season, according to STATS LLC, and hasn't allowed one this year. He can hold his own against the fiercest defensive tackles in the game. But his grasp of the mental part of the game is even more impressive to teammates.
Rodgers points to Wells and running back John Kuhn as the Packers' smartest players on offense.
"If you look at guys who really are the smartest players on the team, and I'm not going to include myself in that mix, Scott Wells and John Kuhn know the offense as well as anybody and they're able to make checks without me even saying anything," Rodgers said. "It takes a ton of stress and pressure off of me and my film study and my preparation when I know that if I guess wrong, or if I'm unsure about a look, that I know Scotty is going to be right there next to me, a step ahead of me at times, knowing what the call needs to be."
Rodgers had similar praise for former Packers guard Daryn Colledge, who signed with Arizona as a free agent in the offseason. Rodgers says Wells is on the same level.
"Scotty is second to none," Rodgers said. "If you're ranking, kind of, the intangibles, Scott is the smartest and Josh (Sitton, right guard) has the best reactionary skills. Josh just understands the game so well, he's able to make reactionary plays. But Scotty and his smarts take a ton of pressure off me."
Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin said Wells' combination of toughness and quick decision-making have made him the Packers' most consistent lineman.
"It's a challenging position and he's really been consistent for us this year," Philbin said. "I think he's kind of the heart and soul for the o-line. Center's a critical position. These guys have to drive the train, so to speak, and make sure everybody's on the same page. They're the decision-makers in the offense."
Lang says Wells simply "never screws up." If Wells is supposed to give Lang help in a particular protection or run-blocking scheme, he's going to be in the right place at the right time.
"It's inspiring to watch him play, how hard he plays and how much he really cares about winning his blocks," Lang said. "Watching that, it makes you want to be a better player."
Wells is aware of the praise from coaches and teammates, but doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
"I just try to show up, do my job effectively and help others any way I can," Wells said. "I think as a whole, we're all trying to do the job, come in here, execute, to the best of our abilities. And if everybody does that, we'll be fine."

Kathy Griffin is a genius, no question. Through sheer will, shamelessness, and a stomach cramp–inducing sense of humor (if you've never seen her perform live, you have no idea what this woman is capable of), she essentially self-promoted her way from being Brooke Shields's dowdy sitcom sidekick to a larger-than-life comedy and gay icon. Most recently, she proved herself worthy of the title "The New Queen of Mean" as she hosted Comedy Central's Joan Rivers roast and let the world know that the thin and crispy older comedy pioneer has an official heiress apparent. At the roast, Joan lamented that Kathy "stole my gays."
Advocate.com: Thanks for talking with us today.
Kathy Griffin: Thank you! I have a little notation here that says this is regarding all my current projects. I like that! It makes me feel like I have lots of balls up in the air. And yes, that's a double entendre. Yes, pun intended.
I just always have had gay friends. I was that girl in high school who went to the prom with my gay friend because we both thought, well, we'll have fun.
What I admire about the LGBT community is that I feel, as a community, you guys are very good and smart about mobilizing and making things happen. And just as a female -- and as a female in comedy -- I feel that I identify with a group that has had to fight harder and jump higher and prove themselves over and over, so I feel a kinship with the LGBT community. We're both at a point in our journey where we aren't afraid to go there.
That's a long-winded, serious answer, but I identify with the gay community and I feel that [civil rights] is a struggle we all share. What I feel most proud about when watching [the "Norma Gay"] episode is that my 89-year-old mother, a heterosexual woman who watches Fox News, got up there and had her sign -- and I love that her sign was funny; I think that was a great, smart way to go -- and that's the kind of support, I think, that makes change happen. Because you're no longer preaching to the choir; you're now including people who never really thought about gay rights or thought that it didn't touch them or didn't affect them in any way. And then, in a pretty short amount of time with a pretty small effort, we can touch them and get them to go, "Ohhhh, yeah, this is as bad as racism ever could have been. This is something as bad as not giving women the right to vote. This is something that needs to change, and how can I help?"
So yeah, it was a really great episode to work on. I got to meet interesting people and I got to hear answers I didn't like…and then you kind of go forward from there. I watched it along with everyone else -- I didn't see a rough-cut episode -- and I heard from [Matthew Shepard's mother] Judy Shepard.
My only regret is that I would have liked Matthew Shepard to have been featured a little bit more in the episode, because even though you could say there's not really a connection between Matthew Shepard and gay marriage, I still think that gay marriage being illegal in California [is] absolutely discrimination, [and] I don't think it's that big of a jump to say that people who think that gay people shouldn't have the same civil rights are a couple of clicks away from people who think that it would be OK to treat a gay person differently.
Well, I wasn't going to get into this, but just on a personal note…
I know! I feel like I should get to the funny stuff…
I have a friend who married another man in a church in Atlanta…
Well, now, that's a niche market.
[Laughs] Yeah, well, of course, although he could get married in a church in Georgia, he can't get married legally, and he was moved to tears by the Prop. 8 episode. I think a lot of people were blindsided by "Norma Gay," to see your consistently hilarious show delve into serious subject matter in such an effective way. And since you brought up Judy Shepard…did you know her book is coming out within days of yours?
No, but I'm going to get it! I admire her so much. She's a warrior. One thing that really, really shocked me and I was determined to change was that, when I asked the LGBT Learning Center about Matthew Shepard, and not one of those kids had ever heard of him, or had even heard his name, I was on a mission. I was like, yeah, I know it's the Prop. 8 episode and I know it's about gay marriage, but you know what? I think that these kids are going to identify more with [Shepard]. So I was very glad that we could include Matthew in the episode. I would have liked to include him a little more. There was one version where Judy's foundation actually gave us the clip package that we put on the show. Someone Twittered me -- or, as I say, twatted me -- about it asking where they can see that Matthew Shepard clip package. I'm pretty sure that it's on YouTube.
So is Official Book Club Selection more of a serious memoir or a humor book?
It truly is both. It definitely has some serious moments, and I absolutely peppered it with as many jokes as I could fit in. It is not a straight-up humor book, and it's also not a really, really serious "I-was-abused-as-a-child" book, but it definitely has both of those elements.
Hopefully you'll get a good chuckle out of it. But there are a few bombs in there. There are some things that I've never revealed before. Which is funny because people say, "My God, you talk about your life and your acting, you've got this reality show, there are cameras in your house -- how can there possibly be anything we don't already know?" And I've been saying, "Well, you know, someday I'm going to write a book." And it's out September 8.
Can we get an exclusive on something really juicy from the book?
Oh God, I'll tell you one thing that's in there! It's so horrific that I had to put it in there. All right, so, I had a lot of liposuction in two thousand and…fuck! I can't even remember. But I decided to -- oh, this is so disgusting -- I've printed in the book four of my post-op plastic surgery pictures. They're from the neck down and they are horrible. They are absolutely horrifying. It's like the most bruised, horrible, you know, beyond-Rihanna thing you've ever seen in your life. They're so heinous that I thought that, You know what, they're so horrible that now it's funny to me. So I put them in the book.
You know Barbara Walters is going to sink her teeth into that. You know Barbara's going to give me shit about it, but I just couldn't resist. I used to actually show [the photos] in my act. When I used to do shows at the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center, I used to talk about my liposuction, which, by the way, was botched, and I used to show the pictures and the poor gays were hurling in the aisles. I guarantee you have never seen pictures like this. Except for, like, crime scene photos. They're disgusting.
But you made it through. Are you glad you did it?
No! First of all,
the lipo for me was a complete waste. I didn't realize that there was a
thing called diet and exercise that works better. I actually thought
that I could go to a plastic surgeon and come out looking like Jennifer
Aniston. But it didn't go my way.
Something is working for you. I
have a friend who is 24 and when I told her I was going to be talking
with you, all she could talk about was finding out how you got your
awesome body.
Oh yeah, I have a bangin' bikini bod. Which Paris
Hilton, my BFF, revealed to me. 'Cause Paris got me in a bikini for the
first time in like fucking 10 years, and then when the paparazzi took
our pictures -- because, golly gosh, I wonder who called them? -- next thing
you know, I'm pretty much splitting my time between gay activism and
bikini modeling. I'm being tugged in both directions.
I'm only doing one of those things, fortunately for the rest of the world.
I assume it's bikini modeling!
Yes, exactly.
I feel your pain.
[Laughs] Any hot lesbian action in your book?
would love to have a hot lesbian relationship, but, I'm gonna be honest,
I would probably be doing it for the publicity. Currently, I think the
best person I could have a lesbian relationship with would be Kate
Gosselin from Jon & Kate Plus 8. Because I think that would get us
on the cover of Us Weekly faster than anything.
She kind of has that look going on. Suze Orman hair.
exactly, she already has the lesbian haircut. I could get a matching
haircut and I would be happy to go down on her and then, accidentally,
the paparazzi are there!
Some pictures for your next book?
Yeah! If not, I think maybe a lesbian one-nighter with Dina Lohan could be a good photo op.
That would be…brave.
Exactly. It would be One Night in Heaven in Long Island.
You are a guerrilla marketing genius.
you have to admit that you're now on the A-list. Where do you have to
go from here? Do you really need to go down on Kate Gosselin to get a
OK, first of all, let me tell you that I'm flattered that
you think I'm on the A-list, but I'm going to prove you wrong right
now. Just when I was having a moment that I felt like I was on the
A-list because -- you should know -- I am nominated for not one but two Teen
Choice Awards. That's right, two Teen Choice Awards. And I was feeling
very young and hip and, Oh my gosh, I'm going to run into Miley at the
Teen Choice Awards and I'm going to see the Jonas Brothers and Oh!
They're my people! And then I get a call and it turns out that my two
categories that are nominated -- Choice Comedian and Choice TV
(Reality) -- are in the non-televised version of the Teen Choice Awards.
the fuck knew that there were non-televised awards at the Teen Choice
Awards? What the point of that would be, I have no idea. I don't even
know what website would benefit from the non-televised part of the
Teen Choice Awards. So now I have had to bite and scratch to get two
tickets to go to the Teen Choice Awards -- 'cause I already picked out the
outfit, which means I'm going, and I have just been told by them that
I'm not even invited by them to attend the ceremony.
Yeah. So I am absolutely on the D-list.
How can you be nominated and not allowed to go?
well, that's the Teen Choice Awards -- or as I like to call them, the
Schmeen Schmoice Awards. It's just life slappin' me in the face one
more time. Just reiterating that I am on the D-list.
Oh, whatever, the Teen Choice Awards don't matter. Who cares? You have Emmys.
[Laughs] Screw you, Miley! I'm gonna be there and I'm gonna be in the front-fucking-row.
You had better!
You bet I will.
You'll make it onstage one way or another?
Yeah, I want one of those giant surfboards so it can sit in my garage for the rest of my life.
Maybe you could mount a giant Jesus on it…
then everybody can suck it! You know, if you can get through a gay
wedding in a church in Atlanta, there's nothing you can't handle.

Experts say melting snow won't help drought conditions
Weather and climate experts said Monday that the melting snow will do little to alleviate drought conditions for the Wadena area.
Layers of frozen ground will prevent moisture from reaching the soil levels that mean the most to farmers, who will have to wait to see if better rain comes later in spring. Greg Spoden, state climatologist for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, said although melting snow poses a flood risk in the south part of the state near the Red River, Minnesota is mostly going to miss out on the positive aspects of all the new moisture.
"Unfortunately, very little of this over-winter precipitation is going to reach the soil, the soil that's desperately dry," Spoden said. "The core space is clogged with ice right now … in the parlance of the weather service, they call that 'concrete frost.'"
However, Spoden said there is a chance for farmers to see relief later on with spring rain. If this year is as wet as 2012, Spoden said, long-term drought conditions that have plagued the area off and on since 2011 may be lessened.
"Having said that, May of 2012 was the wettest May in state history, so we can't count on that, obviously," Spoden said.
Paul Walker, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather, agreed the snow melting right now would moisten only the upper layer of soil, and the amount of moisture contained in the snow was not ideal.
"I think that because of how cold it's been up in your area, the ground hasn't melted enough to get down very deep," Walker said. "That's where the farmers are really looking for the moisture."
Despite the poor moisture situation right now, Paul Pastelok, head of the Long-Range Department at AccuWeather, was optimistic about upcoming spring conditions.
"From April into early May, there will be some cold fronts, there will be some moisture that comes through, so there's no long-term dry spells that I expect to take place during those couple of months," he said.
Pastelok said late spring and early summer would see dry times, but "carry-over" moisture from the rainy, early part of spring would help mitigate them.
Pastelok also predicted rainfall during the spring would be steady and light compared to the intense fits of storms that nearby areas can expect. He said regions near ours have an increased chance of M.C.Cs, or Mesoscale Convective Complexes, making a dramatic appearance.
Pastelok defined M.C.C.s as "a smaller area of high winds and very intense rainfall" that typically come in late May and early June. Although the storms give out a great deal of moisture, areas affected by them also have an increased risk of hail and tornado damage.
Chances that the Wadena area will see an M.C.C. are better than last year, but Pastelok said our rainfall will likely be more spread out, consisting of frequent, smaller systems.

I received this as a sample from my last order and decided to try it today.
I think I brew tea in a weird way but it always works for me. I opened the sachet so I could brew this as a loose tea and put it in my tea ball and let it boil in the kettle for about 4 minutes because I tend to enjoy stronger more flavorful teas.
I drank it while it was very hot and noticed how sweet it was and I thought it was just because it was my first sip. I continued to drink the rest of the cup and it tasted just the same.
A warm sweet buttery cinnamon flavor, extremely smooth. I finished my first cup and brewed a second cup with a little less water for about 5:30, didn't have as much flavor but still great.
I really enjoyed this tea, and I don't usually like black teas, I'm more of a green tea person but this was exceptional, I may order a 4 oz container in the future!

Choosing a Furnace Humidifier
Before reading this page, you should review our page discussing the various types of furnace humidifiers on the market today. This should immediately narrow the range of options you are searching.
The following recommendations are based solely on my opinion. Before coming to my conclusions about furnace humidifiers, I completed a great deal of research into the topic, and have "experimented" with many models/styles over the years in trying to find the best solution for my family. I felt compelled to make this research available to others since most of the units found in stores today are simply a waste of money. This page will help you understand how I came to my decision and the reasoning behind ultimately recommending the model that I now have in my home.
Unless you are operating on a severely constrained budget, you should avoid all drum style humidifiers that come with an evaporative sponge or pad. They are inherently poor in design. The sponge/pad will inevitably lose its evaporative efficiency, especially in the presence of hard water minerals. Once the evaporative efficiency is lost, the water can stagnate and create a potential breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other undesirable contaminants which can then be blow into your duct system and be distributed throughout our home. The only advantage of this style of furnace humidifier is that it is inexpensive. As inexpensive units, most models in this category are made with cheaper plastics that just don't seem like they will offer a long service life, although in my expereince, I could not test this since the drum/pad assembly became so troublesome to deal with after less than 2 years anyway. Some other models are still made with a metal reservoir and lid. When I first purchased my house, this is the type of unit that was installed there. Not only was it leaking, but it was horribly corroded. I have heard countless similar accounts about such models, so in my opinion, they should be avoided. All drum/pad furnace humidifiers will require periodic replacement of the evaporative sponge/pad. In extreme cases where there is a high mineral content in the water, the replacement interval can be as little as a couple of weeks. In one instance, I read on a home improvement forum of an individual who had to replace his after only a few days! In addition to the ongoing cost of replacing the evaporative pads, the nuisance of having to do so much maintenance also makes these units a poor choice.
Flow-through (flow-thru) are certainly an improvement in terms of cleanliness at least. One of the major drawbacks with flow-through units, however, is that they generally need to be connected to a floor drain system of other water discharge that will enable the excess water to be drained. This of course highlights the other major drawback of flow-through designs - they inherently waste a lot of water, up to 8 gallons of wasted water for every gallon of humidity output. This drawback can be particularly troublesome for homeowners with septic fields or limited production water wells, and those who pay for their water usage (metered residential systems). Of course, this level of water waste is not friendly on the environment either. Further, all flow-through furnace humidifiers will require periodic replacement of the evaporative screen - an added cost of about $20 per season. If you do not have a floor drain near the installation location, this option will likely not be available to you anyway.
Here are 2 examples of poorly constructed humidifiers. Both of these are brand new. The bottom of the drum humidifier on the left clearly shows the cheap flimsey plastic used in the construction - the parts don't even line up right out of the box! This contributes to their low cost, but also short life and poor performace. When I was assembling this flow-through humidifier (picture on right) 5 minutes after opening the package, I broke the water distribution bar (not sure what else to call it). I had to order a replacement from the factory before installing it. Again, it was weak plastic and a poor design that led to the part failure. Be wary of low cost units!
Flow-through furnace humidifiers vary widely in cost. Cheaper models are typically built with light, flimsey plastic parts that don't hold up well over time. Nevertheless, there are some better units on the market in this category. Most of these superior quality units, while still suffering from the disadvantages mentioned, are at least a step above the drum/pad style humidifiers noted above. Aprilaire brand flow-through humidifiers are commonly sold through HVAC contractors and other building trades. While generally receiving fair to good reviews from most (but not all) homeowners, their cost after installation can run pretty steep.
In the mid 1990's, a small company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, (which has notoriously hard water), created a new humidifier design with a unique evaporative surface. Recognizing that a drum-style humidifier in concept had a lot of merits, they had set out to create an evaporative surface that did not suffer from the same problems as traditional drum/pad humidifiers. The company created an assembly composed of about 40 textured plastic discs that sit side-by-side (see picture courtesy of the manufacturer). The result was a highly efficient evaporative surface (with an impressive surface area), but an inherently cleaner design. The assembly proved to be resistent to excessive mineral build-up, thus it maintains its evaporative efficiency even when used with hard water. Hense, the water cannot stagnate, and the unit stays microbiologically clean. Like any good consumer, I was skeptical at first. However, when I bought the product (purchased online at www.highqproducts.com), not only did I find it to be well built, but it really did stay much cleaner, and best of all, it does so with virtually 100% water efficiency - it doesn't waste water like a flow-through. The disc-assembly technology is patented, so at present they are the only company making this type of unit. Once or twice a year, I clean the disc assembly and basin with a light acid (vinegar) to remove the minor mineral deposits which mostly reside in the reservoir (I also recently installed the same company's AutoFlush accessory to further reduce my maintenance as I do have very hard water - so far, it has also met all of my expectations).
Regardless of what type of furnace humidifier is selected, a humidistat is essential to maintain humidity control. Avoid any unit that does not have a humidistat included. Also, some manufacturers fail to include all required installation parts with their unit - you could get an unpleasant surprise when you have to buy flex duct, water line, saddle valves, mounting hardware, screws, bolts and other items to complete your installation. These added costs can turn an inexpensive unit into an even bigger disappointment.
One final note, if you have a heat pump instead of a conventional electric or gas furnace, talk to your supplier before purchasing as many models do not operate as efficiently with the reduced output temperature of a heat pump. A good supplier can offer you some recommendations to boost air flow to your unit to help compensate.

Last week, "Doctor Strange" screenwriter C Robert Cargill offered an explanation for why Marvel Studios cast British actress Tilda Swinton as an important Tibetan character — The Ancient One — from the original comic book series. "Star Trek" actor George Takei has recently called that explanation "cringeworthy."
Talking about the controversial casting choice, Cargill had said: "[The Ancient One] originates from Tibet, so if you acknowledge that Tibet is a place and that he's Tibetan, you risk alienating one billion people who think that that's bullsh*t and risk the Chinese government going, 'Hey, you know one of the biggest film-watching countries in the world? We're not going to show your movie because you decided to get political'."
Takei, famous for his role as Hikaru Sulu, helmsman of the USS Enterprise in the original run of the television series "Star Trek," took to Facebook and posted his views on Cargill's explanation: "You cast a white actress so you wouldn't hurt sales…in Asia? This backpedaling is nearly as cringeworthy as the casting. Marvel must think we're all idiots. [sic]"
He added: "Marvel already addressed the Tibetan question by setting the action and The Ancient One in Kathmandu, Nepal in the film. It wouldn't have mattered to the Chinese government by that point whether the character was white or Asian, as it was already in another country. So this is a red herring, and it's insulting that they expect us to buy their explanation. They cast Tilda because they believe white audiences want to see white faces. Audiences, too, should be aware of how dumb and out of touch the studios think we are. [sic]"
The response assumes significance because it comes from an Asian-American actor who made quite an impact in Hollywood during an era where whitewashing — white Caucasian actors playing racially diverse roles — in films was all too common.
Ever since the "Doctor Strange" trailer released, netizens on social media have continued to criticise Marvel for the casting of Swinton in what they said should have been a prominent role for an Asian actor.
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, "Doctor Strange" is slated to release on Nov. 4, 2016.

124|| A Miraculous Transplant
Cancer is a disease that no one is fully exempt from; it attacks women, men, children, rich, poor, young, and old. When an individual is diagnosed, their world changes dramatically. Literally overnight, their priorities realign and life becomes a roller coaster with unknown twists, turns, highs, and lows. Tiffany Schwantes, a healthy 30-year-old mother and wife, received her unexpected diagnosis in October of 2011. She had very few symptoms and little warning. She was experiencing irregular weight loss and random pains in her side. After several weeks, she knew something wasn't right. Tiffany went to the emergency room for testing. It was during this visit that she was diagnosed with cancer and immediately hospitalized for a week. During her week of hospitalization, she went through rigorous testing. She was then sent home to await biopsy results.
Within one week following her hospital stay, Tiffany was given results and grave details regarding the severity of her condition. She was diagnosed with a very rare stage- four liver cancer called Cholangiocarcinoma. Because of the advancement of the cancer, she was informed that chemotherapy would not be an option for a cure. The chemotherapy treatment plan, at best, would prolong the quality and length of her life. She was advised to seek treatment immediately at one of the world's leading Cancer centers, MD Anderson in Houston, Texas. The news was devastating, shocking, and initially very hard to process.
The first few weeks after diagnosis were absolutely overwhelming. Doctors appointments, numerous tests, and complicated travel plans for treatment consumed every waking hour. Tiffany struggled with how to explain to their children what was going on in a way that was accurate, but would refrain from needlessly scaring them. She had to navigate the questions of "How?" and "Why?" this happened to her. She was overwhelmed with feelings of desperation and hopelessness. Despite her fear, Tiffany was realistic about the prognosis.
"I am going to fight this as long as I can for my family, but it will eventually kill me."
Treatment Begins
In mid-November, less than one month after the diagnosis, Tiffany and her husband Brian went on their first ever plane ride to Texas. At MD Anderson, they met Dr. Miliand Javie, the oncologist who would assume primary responsibility for her care. He gave her an aggressive bi-monthly chemotherapy plan and told her they would have to wait and see how the cancer reacted to treatment. For the next year, Tiffany spent every week in and out of Clearview Cancer Institute in her hometown of Huntsville, Alabama, doing routine blood testing and regular chemo sessions. Quarterly, she flew to MD Anderson for three days of consecutive appointments to see specialists, complete scans, and regulate the overall effectiveness of the prescribed plan. The side effects of chemo were difficult. Tiffany struggled with fatigue and felt unsure that she would make it from week to week. Tiffany recalls the hardest part was that she knew the chemotherapy would not cure her. The pain, suffering, irritability, and exhaustion was simply a band aid to an illness she was told would end her life.
Facts and doctor's prognosis aside, Tiffany pressed on. During this grueling period of treatment, she was always conscious of her attitude. She believed her suffering could be used to share the hope of the Gospel. "If people could see my attitude — still hopeful, thankful, and worshipping God in the midst of my pain and suffering — it would point people to the cross," Tiffany said. She strove to maintain an eternal perspective. At times she was fearful, but she chose to rest and believe that her life was in the hands of an almighty and sovereign God. She believed God would take care of her family if the worst happened and desperately tried to focus on the days immediately ahead.
Due to the side effects of her daily medications, she could not drive a car; yet she was surrounded by friends who took her to church, doctors' appointments, and on necessary errands. Local families often brought meals on chemo days to help make her everyday life more manageable and feel normal. The community participated in fundraisers to help cover cancer-related travel bills and hundreds prayed faithfully every day. One day, Tiffany went to her mailbox and was surprised to find over 200 cards from her birth city of Boaz, Alabama. A local ministry had coordinated a mail mob of cards, each with a two dollar bill and personal thoughts, encouragement, and bible verses. She was overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of these gestures from people she didn't even know! Over and over again, God reminded her in tangible ways that He was not only her Life Sustainer, but also her Provider and Comforter.
A Glimpse of Hope
In August of 2012, the doctors at MD Anderson gave Tiffany the first glimpse of hope for healing when they began to run tests to see if she would be eligible for a transplant. The majority of patients with Tiffany's type of cancer are not eligible for transplant, but because of her young age and her body's receptive response to a long duration of chemo, they referred her to the Houston Methodist Hospital organ list. The exact waiting period was unknown, but it was estimated to be two years or more due to allocation rules. Her situation didn't look hopeful because her liver was not sick enough for her to be chosen from the normal donor pool. Patients are chosen from their degree of illnesses, so she was moved to the bottom of the wait list. The heartbreaking reality of a prolonged wait could prove to be fatal. She was informed that the cancer may spread or that she might not be healthy enough to get a transplant when the time came. So Tiffany, her friends, and family waited and prayed — hoping and thanking God in advance for the healing they believed He would provide. The wait along with the rigorous chemo treatments began to take an increasing toll on her body. She was hospitalized several times in a few short months. Tiffany began to feel sick and exhausted almost every day.
A Chance for a Miracle
Almost six months after being put on the organ wait list, Tiffany got a call from her doctors explaining the possibility of a transplant from a living donor using a controversial and revolutionary medical process called a "domino transplant." The transplant would take place with Tiffany being the recipient of a liver from sixty-year-old Vernon Roberson, who was suffering from amyloidosis, a genetic disease that attacks organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, etc. He was awaiting a heart and liver transplant of his own and was asked if he would be willing to donate his liver to another individual in need when he received his transplants. Interestingly, his liver would be a viable organ for Tiffany because the disease would not likely transfer to Tiffany, and if it did, it would be twenty to thirty years, at which time she could get another transplant.
After much research and prayer, Tiffany felt peace that this expedited opportunity for a liver was the lifesaving opportunity she had been waiting for. When she agreed to the opportunity, the surgeons told her that she needed to have her phone with her 24/7 and to be "on call." She needed to be prepared and packed and ready to get to Texas at a moment's notice. Time was of the essence in a surgery situation like this!
A friend from Tiffany's church had a connection with a pilot who volunteered to fly Tiffany and her husband to Texas via private plane on call, night or day, whenever the time came. Her in-laws committed to taking care of their young children for the duration of her stay in Texas. All the preliminary plans were in motion. Now they waited.
On a Tuesday morning in late June, her phone rang with a call from Texas — they told her to be prepared, for it could be any moment as they were running tests on organs that came in. Tiffany got another call during the middle of Bible study, surrounded by a group of close friends. Immediately, the friends and prayer warriors around her were able to hold her hand, reassure her, and offer prayer with a physical presence. This specific transplant ended up not coming through that day. Tiffany explains that the timing of that call was reassurance that God was indeed moving.
The Operation
On July 8th, the real call came. Tiffany packed her bags, kissed her children, and bravely got on the plane. She knew the moment her feet hit the Texas soil that the whirlwind procedure would begin. When she arrived, she was immediately admitted into the ICU and given a few minutes to pray with a chaplain before preparing for the operation. She was overwhelmed with an ambivalent mixture of thanksgiving and fear. She worried about potential complications of the risky surgery and wondered what the pain level would be like when she awoke.
Doctor Mark Ghobrial, director of the Methodist Center for Liver Disease and Transplantation at Houston Methodist, led the extensive transplant team. The team consisted of nearly 50 people, including four liver surgeons, two cardiac surgeons, and anesthesia teams. It was quite the undertaking since this was first time a domino transplant had ever taken place at this hospital. The surgery took nearly took 12 hours. It was coordinated and executed to perfection.
Tiffany awoke from surgery with breathing tubes, hands tied down, and unable to talk. One of her first memories, when she was conscious enough to communicate, was when the nurse handed her a note pad and she wrote, "Am I okay?" to her husband. Brian smiled hugely and nodded. She scribbled, "Did anything go wrong?" He reassured her that she was stable and all was as expected. The immediate feeling of relief was almost unbearable!
She remained in Texas for six weeks following the procedure for therapy, tests, and follow-up. Though thankful for such a great outcome, the recovery period was difficult because she missed her children who were miles away in Alabama. She focused on getting mobile as quickly as possible so that she would be able to return to her life.
Reflections on Surviving
We often learn the valuable lesson of how to walk by faith during the challenging times of life. As Tiffany reflected on the struggle of dealing with all of the unknowns in her battle against cancer, she shared, "I've had to accept that God doesn't always work on our timeline, but His timing is always perfect." When people ask about how she managed to trust God with such confusing circumstances, she said that God taught her to continuously surrender her wishes, dreams, and hopes to Him. "I had to let go. I had to just say, 'Okay God, whatever is Your will, help me be okay with it.' It was a daily struggle."
Today, Tiffany is enjoying her family and making hopeful plans for the future. Sometimes it seems too good to be true. She is filled with gratefulness that the transplant was successful and treasures the years that have been added to her life. She said, "The first Christmas after my diagnosis, I was convinced I would never see another one." Now that she's home, she has six months of chemo remaining and five years of waiting before she can safely rest with the security of being fully in remission. She is in awe of the miraculous story God has given her and shares it freely with the press, other cancer patients, and whoever else will listen. Tiffany is thankful for the expertise and willingness of excellent doctors, but ultimately considers her life-saving operation an answer to prayer and a testimony to the goodness of God.

Before leaving St. Augustine on a trip north and west, Ronnie and Martha Hughes, recent retirees and new RV owners, made the proverbial "bucket" list of places to visit: Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tn.; The Lincoln Museum, Springfield, Il.; The Badlands, Rushmore and Custer State Park, SD; Little Big Horn National Battlefield, Yellowstone National Park Glacier National Park, all in Montana; and Banff and Jasper National Parks, Alberta, Ca.
The Opry and Lincoln Museum, already visited, can be marked off the list. The rest of the trip is unfolding day-by-day, mile-by-mile, and one pothole after another.
When the northern turnaround point of Jasper, Alberta, Canada is reached, The Green Knight will have registered 4,500 miles since leaving St. Augustine. The entire trip may cover 9,000 miles or more depending on the route home which is undetermined. If the walleye are biting in Minnesota, the trip may head east and pile on more miles.
The mileage to Jasper, Alberta, is farther than mapquest's route because this once-in-a-lifetime cross-country RV trip does not follow the shortest route. Our route is not predetermined. There is no schedule. There are certain places on the list to visit, but the destinations in between are being determined daily. If a place looks interesting, regardless of its location, the course may be altered.
To date, there have been surprises. Wateree State Park located north of Columbia, S.C., and nearby Cambden and its Revolutionary War history, made this stop very worthwhile. Then there's Abingdon, Va., in the far western corner of the state near the North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky borders and its' Creeper Trail, heritage music trail and historic downtown venues. Abingdon is one of those towns that feel like home. And probably the most unexpected was Paducah, Ky., and its memorable flood wall murals, downtown historic district, fine restaurants and its connection with Lewis & Clark. All have been described in previous "blogs."
Taking in the sights at some stops may take three or four days; others worthy of only a day or two. To date there has been only one overnight stop and that was because of poor planning. Utica, Il., home of Starved Rock State Park, deserved another day or two but the campground was full.
The most enjoyable part of the trip has been the people met along the way. New friends from many different walks of life are made at almost every stop along the way. Wearing a Florida Gator cap is a real ice breaker.
For readers just picking up on the blog, "The Green Knight" is the nickname for the green Monaco Knight RV; "Handy" is a self-inflicted nickname based on a character in the old PBS series "Red Green" who said "If you can't be handsome, at least be handy." I earned that nickname after patching the wire that connects the tow car to the RV with duct tape.
On days when "Handy" feels like he's chauffeuring a real bus, he uses the moniker of Ralph Kramden, the blustery New York City bus driver on the old Jackie Gleason Honeymooners teevee show back in the 1950's. Kramden got paid $62 a week to drive a bus for the Gotham Bus Company. The Green Knight drinks that much in diesel fuel in three hours.
Driving soon into the real west and following the wagon ruts of early settlers, whiskey peddlers, mountain men and a host of scoundrels, Handy and Ralph Kramden might take on a more suitable regional nickname.
Maybe Hopalong Cassidy suggests the other half of this trip duo.

As I've seen reported in earlier messages, the Counter -- Santa Monica's upscale burger joint -- has opened in Palo Alto. They opened yesterday, but today was the first day they served lunch, as it turned out, and I trekked over from my office in Mountain View.
What the Counter's claim to fame is--you may know this already--the choices. I had my burger with cheddar, grilled onion, roasted chile and baby greens, with garlic aioli on a honey wheat bun. Would you rather have a turkey burger with herb goat cheese, roasted red peppers, sprouts and ginger soy glaze on an English muffin? No problem. Carrot strings? Grilled pineapple? Horseradish cheddar? Whatever.
But that's literally dressing. I gotta say, I was curious but had a bit of trepidation from some of the love/hate messages in the LA area board, as well as a couple dismissive replies here. But I'm pretty firmly on the love side, at least with the burger I had today. Good quality beef, cooked medium, and really medium: pink on the inside, crusty on the outside, juicy enough the bun got a bit soggy (I forgive them). I saw some complaints here about the burger being small, but if that was small, these folks are used to bigger burgers than I am. (The menu claims their weights are measured _after_ cooking, not before; whether or not that's true, it certainly didn't seem like less than a third of a pound to me.) The fries were also pretty good--not rave-worthy, but well-cooked, well-salted, and not greasy. They're also pretty substantial--one order is enough for two people, I'd say.
I know one burger isn't enough of a data set to draw firm conclusions on, and as much as I liked the place I doubt I'll fulfill the server's cheerful "See you tomorrow!" when I left. But at the least, I'll certainly be back for more data points!
(Since burgers are pretty subjective, I've also tried Kirk's, Val's, Luka's Taproom, Jeffrey's in San Mateo, Clarke's, Mojo Burger, Quinn's Lighthouse, and the Girl and the Fig. Val's I liked the most, and Clarke's the least--Quinn's just about ties, but probably by virtue of being ridiculously big, served on great sourdough and smeared with garlic butter.)

Lamar Odom Talks Khloe, 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'
Lamar Odom recently spoke up about his marriage to Khloe Kardashian and his stint on her family's reality television series, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
Odom, the 33-year-old NBA free agent, has made headlines in recent weeks for allegedly stepping out on his marriage and battling with a drug addiction that he allegedly only checked into a rehabilitation center for one day to treat. However, he previously refuted claims made by TMZ about an alleged addiction to crack-cocaine and Oxycontin.
While eating lunch at Sweet Butter Kitchen in Sherman Oaks, Calif., recently, Odom did not shy away from responding when questioned about speaking to my wife. The NBA free agent referenced his wedding ring when speaking about Kardashian.
"Do you see my wedding ring on," Odom questioned the TMZ videographer firing questions at him.
He also responded when asked if he enjoyed being featured on Kardashian's reality television series.
"Of course I did," Odom told TMZ. "It almost won an Emmy!"
The basketball player went on to describe his outlook on life.
"It's all about treating people good and being a nice guy," Odom told TMZ.
This is not the first time that the publication has bombarded Odom with questions concerning his marriage. Last month, the basketball player was asked if he speaks to his wife.
"That's my wife," Odom said with a laugh. "Of course!"
While Kardashian has removed Odom's surname from hers on social media, she is still sporting a wedding ring in recent pictures. However, the 29-year-old reality television star did open up about some marital woes the pair were experiencing on her show.
"There's a lot of emotional issues I think Lamar has. I do want to help or cater to Lamar but also, there's only so much anybody can take," Kardashian said on the show. "...Lamar is a very depressed person, which is sad but understandable for everything he's been through in his life. I do love Lamar with every ounce of who I am but it's really scary when someone's in such a deep low and you know they're kind of relying on you to get them out and you're trying and you're trying and you're trying and nothing's really working."

Good men should tell trolls harassment's not cool: Jay SmoothSheena Goodyear - June 15th, 2012
Good men need to speak up when misogynists run rampant, says radio host and video blogger Jay Smooth on the heels the threats and harassment on Anita Sarkeesian's Kickstarter pitch for an exploration of gender tropes in video games.
There's lots of good stuff in here, but my favourite line has to be:
When you bully and harass a woman for speaking her mind all you do is show us is that you're afraid of that woman's voice and you don't think you can beat her intellectually without using a cheat code.
Video via ThinkProgress' Alyssa Rosenberg, who has been writing about male allies in video games and how they can take on the trolls.
An ode to the hatersSheena Goodyear - June 14th, 2012
In light of the recent swarm of threats and insults on Anita Sarkeesian's video for her Women Vs. Tropes in Video Games Kickstarter page, or the bizarre flack The Guild's Felicia Day has faced over a benign video about a gamer girl's love for a country boy, this song about YouTube trolls couldn't be more relevant.
You can download the tune by Clever Pie and Isabel Fay on iTunes with proceeds going to an anti-bullying charity.
Anyone who's ever been told to f— off and die by an Internet commenter will find this very cathardic. Warning: The lyrics are NSFW-ish.
Can you spot the Doctor Who guest appearance?
Thanks to @Mel_Wood for the tip
Country boy and gamer girl, together at lastSheena Goodyear - June 13th, 2012
Why yes, that is The Guild's Felicia Day in a country music video about the unconventional but oh-so-sexy love between a honky-tonk man and a cosplaying woman.
It's the latest episode of The Flog, Day's new show on Geek & Sundry. Other notable episodes for gamers include the one where Day applies her Skyrim blacksmithing skills in real life or the one where she plays Streets of Rage for the first time.
Anita Sarkeesian proves Internet trolls won't keep women awaySheena Goodyear - June 12th, 2012
There's a certain type of dude who believes that men deserve to have things like comic books or video games all to themselves. They think their nerd culture is sacred place that feminism can't touch. A place free of those nagging womenfolk. A safe space to indulge in misogyny, free of repercussions.
But as they spew their anonymous hatred, in-game or online, they're faced with the increasingly obvious fact that no, they don't get gender dibs on entire facets of pop culture. Not only will women continue to engage with nerd culture and carve out their own niches, but they will also continue to criticize its many, many flaws. There are a lot of us, our concerns are valid, and we're not going anywhere.
That's what the god awful commenters on blogger Anita Sarkeesian's* Kickstarter page learned, when despite their flood of threat and insults, her bid for a Tropes vs. Women in Video Games video series earned 10 times (and counting) the funding she was seeking. See the pitch below:

RB FA 5 years ago
The Dolphins are reportedly concerned about Daniel Thomas' ability to be a physical goal-line back.
After two NFL seasons, it's obvious that Thomas is not a difference-making NFL runner. He's averaged just 3.53 yards per carry, scored a mere four touchdowns, fumbled five times and missed seven games due to injury. With Lamar Miller assuming feature back duties, Thomas will simply be trying to carve out any role he can this offseason. If he can't pin down the goal-line job, it's another boost for Miller's rapidly rising fantasy stock.
