(DAYTON, Ohio)--Officials in Dayton are speculating as to the reasons why presumed Democrat presidential hopeful John Kerry allegedly stole Timmie Smith's ice cream cone.
According to Smiths mother, Nancy, the lad had just purchased the cone at the "Moo Shack" on Vista Drive. She didn't realize that the cone was missing until she saw John Kerry parading it around and playing, in her words, 'keep away'.
According to the police report, the candidate would hold the cone just above the child's reach and make him jump for it. At one point, witnesses say, Teresa Heinz Kerry took the cone and said "Look at me, I'm the big fugly statue of F###ing liberty....ha ha" while taunting the poor child.
"Really sick if you ask me", says Frank Smiths, the boys father, "I'd like to give that son of a bitch a what-for if you know what I mean"
The police became involved that evening at supper when the eight year old confided in his mother that during the traumatic 'keep away' session, the Senator touched his 'Pee-Pee place"
A spokesman for Senator Kerry could not be reached for comment.

Utah! You're fantastic. The AP is reporting same-sex couples have already gotten hitched in Salt Lake City. More on today's decision here: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/federal-judge-strikes-down-utah-same-sex-marriage-ban
One of the best parts about today's ruling is that U.S. District Judge Robert J. Shelby cited Justice Antonin Scalia's fire-breathing dissent regarding DOMA in his overturning the ban. Why? Because Scalia breathlessly warned that the SCOTUS decision in the Windsor case would open the floodgates to doing away with state bans. Like Utah's.
Hey Scalia. You like apples? HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?
I don't care if it's music, comedy, or both — you think they suck, you think your conversation is more important than someone trying to share something with you and the audience, you just HAVE to tell your BFF and the rest of the clique the BIGGEST NEWS EVER — I don't give a shit.
Take it the fuck outside. Otherwise, you're rude and I hold you in the same esteem as people who rip farts in elevators and Antonin Scalia. He probably dissents like a dick at open mics too.
The only time you're going to have an opportunity to study a whole area of the law systematically is in law school. You should not waste that opportunity. Take the bread-and-butter courses. Do not take 'law and women,' do not take 'law and poverty,' do not take 'law and anything.'
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, advising students during a speaking engagement at the University of Wyoming Law School in October 2012 that they should avoid "frill courses" during their time in school. (Source: Above the Law)
1. This explains a lot about that bitter old bastard.
2. Because the law affects nothing else, amirite?
Because if we take "law and anything," we might try to understand the ways "law" affects the "anything," then that might change into action based on that understanding, and shit — those not old white men people might start getting all uppity and thinking they deserve things like rights.
Scalia has a dream. One day, he shall not be judged on the content of his character, but solely on the color of his skin.
Oh, wait…
Jim Morin in The Miami Herald, Feb. 28
(Source: miamiherald.com)
This Court doesn't like to get involved in — in racial questions such as this one. It's something that can be left — left to Congress. The problem here, however, is suggested by the comment I made earlier, that the initial enactment of [the Voting Rights Act of 1965] in a — in a time when the need for it was so much more abundantly clear was — in the Senate, there — it was double-digits against it. And that was only a 5-year term.
Then, it is reenacted 5 years later, again for a 5-year term. Double-digits against it in the Senate. Then it was reenacted for 7 years. Single digits against it. Then enacted for 25 years, 8 Senate votes against it.
And this last enactment, not a single vote in the Senate against it. And the House is pretty much the same. Now, I don't think that's attributable to the fact that it is so much clearer now that we need this.
I think it is attributable, very likely attributable, to a phenomenon that is called perpetuation of racial entitlement. It's been written about. Whenever a society adopts racial entitlements, it is very difficult to get out of them through the normal political processes.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, discussing Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in oral arguments for Shelby County v. Holder, Feb. 27, 2013.
Why does this matter?
As Suevon Lee explains Aug. 30, 2012 for ProPublica: "A single provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 has been playing a key role on the election front this year. Section 5 has blocked photo voter-ID laws, prohibited reduced early-voting periods in parts of Florida and just Tuesday barred new redistricting maps in Texas. It's the reason South Carolina is in federal court this week to try to convince a three-judge panel its photo voter-ID law will not disenfranchise minorities. It's the reason that Texas went to trial on the same issue last month — and on Thursday, lost.
Not surprisingly, then, Section 5 is increasingly the target of attack by those who say it is outdated, discriminatory against Southern states and unconstitutional."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor smacked down the idea that Section 5 was a racial entitlement, and reminded us all that the right to vote is just that — a right, not a racial entitlement, no matter how desperately some jurisdictions and justices may want to reverse that fact.
I don't think there is anything to be gained by any Senator to vote against continuation of this act. And I am fairly confident it will be reenacted in perpetuity unless — unless a court can say it does not comport with the Constitution… The State government is not their government, and they are going to lose — they are going to lose votes if they do not reenact the Voting Rights Act.
Even the name of it is wonderful: The Voting Rights Act. Who is going to vote against that in the future?
Justice Antonin Scalia, oral arguments in Shelby County v. Holder, Feb. 27, 2013.
Maybe Scalia should talk to the members of the GOP who voted against the Violence Against Women Act. That's got a wonderful name. Who's going to vote against that?
Oh, wait…
I bet Antonin Scalia is the kind of dick who writes his dissents in ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME, and they're in Comic Sans before entry into any official records.
And he highlights whole blocks of text.
I'm just sayin', I have this feeling.

Radar Love
Gary Burghoff, who played Radar on TV's "M*A*S*H*," making a Christian movie
Burghoff, shown here with Daniel's Lot co-star Dominick Shaw, is a Christian who says that after reading the script for the film, "I prayed and the Lord told me to do this. I respect what they (the Faith and Power Worship Center of Apopka, FL) are doing very much."
The filmmakers describe Daniel's Lot as "a love story of faith, obedience, redemption, and salvation." It's the story of "a down-and-out office worker and his struggle to come to terms with his loyalty to his late father, personal problems within his own family, and a newfound obedience to God which provides the deliverance he needs."
Sounds like something right up Father Mulcahy's, er, Hawkeye's, er, Radar's alley.
Awesome! It is so refreshing to see more powerful Christian movies being produced, seemingly if you will, by the very hand of God! Even the Disney/Pixar movies have questionable elements in them, which my husband and I have to overlook if we are ever going to comply with our teens' repeated requests for a "Family Date at the Movies." Glory glory glory! We've so enjoyed Fireproof, Facing the Giants, The Blind Side....we're always on the lookout for something we can watch without slapping God in the face. Go team go!

This smelled wonderful but was VERY bland. I made this exactly as written and ended up adding a bunch of salt to the gravy and to my dish to help add flavor. Too bad.. the smell coming from my kitchen was heavenly! Guess I'll go back to using 1 cup of beef broth and one package of onion soup mix. Much more flavor w/ that recipe!
Company Pot Roast

Hot_Momma_to_2 Posted: 11/30/09
This was a good recipe...I added a can of corn and a can of green beans just because my family loves them. I really liked this roast, but honestly Tyson makes a roast package that doesn't require much prep at all, and tastes the same. If Tyson package isn't available, and I wanted a roast I would come back to this recipe for sure. It was really good.
DApplegate Posted: 02/22/11
Very tender, tasty but no way would this feed 8 people! I will make it again but double the first 4 ingredients. More veggies than meat! Also, I took the veggies out after 3 hours and they were still too soft for me.
AmericanRNinNZ Posted: 02/16/11
Very good pot roast. Made it for dinner and my husband kept going back for more :-)
Rosalita Posted: 12/01/10
Why would anyone serve Tyson meal? They are so over salted and just terrible! This is a good, comforting meal.
emarific Posted: 01/19/11
This is the best tasting pot roast, no kidding. I thought the recipe as written was a little hard to follow- as in, the order in which events should take place, also reduced the potatoes and added celery. My edited version is at http://mamaslittlegreenrecipebox.blogspot.com/2011/01/pot-roast.html
KirkTheFoodie Posted: 03/02/11
This is a fine recipe in many ways. Because I find crockpot recipes generally "bland out" the flavors, I refine the taste by reducing the garlic and adding a few dissolved beef bullion cubes to the broth. Try this method to see if you agree.
Pattyd2326 Posted: 04/20/11
This was pretty tasty although I agree with previous reviewers that it was just missing something. It needed a bit more flavor...
Angie64 Posted: 09/07/11
I have not yet tried this recipe, but am bothered by remarks that the meal was bland, My first thought is that we need to remember that this is "Cooking Light". Not that "light" food needs to be bland, but adding extra sodium, like those who added salt, broth and bouillon, defeats the purpose of healthier cooking. "Light" doesn't only refer to calories. Herbs and other spices can liven up a "bland" dish. But most importantly, most need to simply retrain their taste buds to enjoy foods with less salt, and reap the health benefits of it.
get2cook Posted: 11/15/11
I agree with Angie, those that said that they'd add a "bunch of salt" or "onion soup mix" which is mainly salt, does add flavor, but what kind of flavor do we want to add here folks. These people need to be getting their recipes from different web sites, Betty Butter, or Salty Susan, not healthy Cooking Light or My Recipes from a Health.com site. This recipe was great and like most recipes, gives us ideas that we can embellish with hopefully, healthy options, That's why we're "home cooking" instead of bringing home fast food, right! Keep cooking and trying to be healthier.
piggywiggy Posted: 02/28/12
I loved everything about this recipe except for the flavor of the gravy. I thought it had slightly too much tomato flavor from the paste. Next time I will do less tomato paste. Other than the gravy, no complaints. The family loved it! I will definitely be making it again.
LindsWhitaker Posted: 11/26/12
After reading the reviews that called this bland I made some adjustments and it came out GREAT!! I added a packet of onion soup dry mix and used 3/4 the amount of potatoes to make up for the extra calories. I also didn't need to add flour, the sauce was plenty thick; I might even add 1/4 water next time.
risaman Posted: 11/19/12
Fantastic recipe!! I switched out the dried morels with other dried mushrooms, and it worked perfectly! I made the soup and let it sit over night and by morning it was ready to go!
chloechloe Posted: 11/14/12
I thought this was really, really good. Not bland at all. Letting the meat soak in the Tamari (inplace of soy, which I can't have due to gluten) and garlic over night makes a lot of flavor. I love pot roasts and this is one of my favorites. I used corn starch instead of flour to thicken the gravy f or the same gluten reason. Yummy!
breanne9906 Posted: 02/13/13
I have made this a couple times, and enjoy it, but do find that it is a little bland. I might try the adding onion soup dry mix next time. It is a great, healthy easy meal though.
sanfran0117 Posted: 01/23/13
This was just ok for me and my family. Too much soy sauce flavor which overpowered the roast. Maybe I marinated too long. Followed directions to put meat on top of veggies. Didn't turn out very tender. Had to cut with knife when my usual pot roast falls apart. Not sure if I would make it again.
717Karen717 Posted: 08/02/13
I thought this recipe was very very taste. I used 1c of water and a beef boullon cube instead of beef broth. Roast was very very tender. And the gravey had a lot of flavor
AmandaP0526 Posted: 02/08/14
I didn't choose this because it was "light," I just wanted a good roast, and thought this would make one. I didn't have low-sodium soy sauce on hand, so I used regular and I added sun dried tomatoes to regular organic tomato paste to hopefully give it some "sun dried" flavor. I also put a few extra sun dried tomato in the crock. Anyways, other than those two tweaks, I followed to the "T" and it turned out great! :D Will make again.
NewbieCook09 Posted: 01/17/14
I agree that this was missing something. A little too bland. My hope was that the sun-dried tomato paste would make a difference....and maybe it would have, if I had been able to find it? I bought dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, rehydrated, and blended to a paste. Other than that, I followed to a "t." Now, to put it into context: we love old school pot roast. The salty flavor, the fat, all of it. I was certainly not expecting an exact duplicate (We've been converting our favorites to healthy substitutes for years now), but this was still off the mark. We added salt, and that made it more edible...but we realize that defeated the purpose. A small rant here: If you haven't tried the recipe, don't review it. There are plenty of forums to pontificate on healthy eating. Try a blog.
mozahh Posted: 04/19/14
The worst post roast ever !! Its very tasteless, don't even bother exerting any effort on this recipe.
jazzynblue Posted: 09/02/13
I thought this recipe was wonderful. I changed a few small things - I added 1 1/2 tsp of dried rosemary, and then cooked just the roast with liquid for 2 hours on high, then added the vegetables and cooked for 5 more hours on low. I also didn't marinate it beforehand, and I added fresh mushrooms instead of dried. It was wonderfully flavorful and didn't need salt. I served it for company and they all loved it. I don't know why anyone says it lacks flavor. If you are worried about that, just add some rosemary.

I've been looking more and more at the laser prints i've done and i'm not sure if the quality and feel is right. So i did a few fibrebase silver gelatin handprints in my darkroom a few nights ago.
Next up might be to make a small edit and play with make some staple bound zines. I have access to a binding machine that can handle about 150 sheets. So I might try that out as well, to compare between small vs large.
A very long time since the last update. I've been busy assisting my girlfriend with her project, working on my birds and researching new ideas for projects. I've managed to print up all of my birds on some trusty A4, so thats a great step in the right direction.
3 laser toners later and I am finished. Originally this was meant to just be a way of looking at all of the images away from a computer screen, but bigger than a contact sheet. I now really like the quality and feel to them. Somewhat opposite to the fine quality of a gelatin-silver print, but under closer thought; perhaps not?
I'm now looking into ways of working with all the images i've acquired. Got my hands on some great bookmaking facilities so i'll hopefully be using them to their full potential. I've also had a chance to research into outsourcing the printing for larger prints. Should be interesting.
A month or so ago I had the chance to give an artist's talk to the Foundation students at my previous place of work, Barton Peveril College. It was insightful. It had been about two years since critically presenting my work to an audience. I found it highly rewarding as i was able to pick up on new themes throughout my work.
I am aiming to set aside some time to update my website. Perhaps once my birds project has concluded itself, that would be a good time to tackle the internet.

Stephen DeRosa and Company in Harold Rome's "Sing Me a Song
With Social Significance" from Pins and Needles
(All photos by Maryann Lopinto)
Scott Siegel, that dynamo of Town Hall, has pulled another rabbit out of his miraculous hat, presenting a further installment of Broadway by the Year – The Broadway Musicals of 1937, a year of upheaval in the world, but richness on Broadway. It was a year when Rodgers and Hart, Harold Rome, Harold Arlen, E.Y. Harburg, Dietz and Schwartz, and even the Strausses of Old Vienna were represented.
As usual, Siegel gathered first rate talent. Stephen DeRosa opened the show with "Way Out West" from Babes In Arms (Rodgers and Hart) about a dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker's aversion to any place outside of Manhattan. He was a hoot, but also later revealed how extraordinarily tender he could be in a quiet rendition of "I See Your Face Before Me" (Between the Devil from Dietz and Schwartz).
Brian d'Arcy James sings Rodgers and Hart's "Have You Met Miss
Jones?" from I'd Rather Be Right
In fact, each and every performer proved to be multi-faceted. Brian d'Arcy James, now world famous from TV's Smash, not only was a smooth balladeer in "Have You Met Miss Jones?" (I'd Rather Be Right – Rodgers and Hart) and "Where or When" (from Rodgers and Hart's Babes in Arms) with Elizabeth Stanley but displayed a sophisticated wit in "I Wish I Were in Love Again" (the very busy Rodgers and Hart) with Tonya Pinkins who also revealed her comic chops in a disarming "The Lady is a Tramp" (again from Babes in Arms) and sang a bluesy "Moanin' in the Morning'" (Hooray for What – Arlen/Harburg) and a heartbreakingly romantic "My Funny Valentine" (Rodgers and Hart).
Carole J. Bufford, Elizabeth Stanley and Tonya Pinkins sing "Nobody
Makes a Pass at Me" from Pins and Needles
Carole J. Bufford, a real "find" of Mr. Siegel's, continued to amaze with the range of her talents beginning with "Buds Won't Bud" (Arlen/Harburg) a comic take on the frustrations of being loverless. Her "Why Did I Do It?," a bluesy and sad oddity by Dietz and Schwartz contrasted with Harold Rome's Pins & Needles ditty "Nobody Makes a Pass at Me" which lists dozens of hygiene and food products that supposedly—in 1937, at least—made women desirable. In this last, she was joined by Ms. Pinkins and Elizabeth Stanley, a tall, lovely creature who was operatic in "To Love Is to Live" (Three Waltzes – the Strausses) and an American Songbook diva in the immortal "Johnny One-Note" (Rodgers and Hart) with which she ended the evening by tearing down the house. Kevin Earley, used his sumptuous baritone on "Down With Love" (Arlen/Harburg) and the operatic "To Love is to Live" with Ms. Stanley.
Danny Gardner as he performed "Touched in the Head" from
Cleary and Swanstrom's Sea Legs in a straitjacket
Danny Gardner was another find, a singing, dancing wonder. He conjured Ray Bolger at his eccentric best in "Touched in the Head" (Sea Legs – Michael H. Cleary/Arthur Swanstrom) performed in a straitjacket! Gardner's choreographic brilliance also shone in "Doing the Reactionary" (Rome), where he was joined by two other fine tapper/singers, Brent McBeth and Derek Roland. They filled the stage with their antics and brought the audience to its feet with the sheer delight they communicated.
Kevin Earley as he sang "Why Did You Kiss My Heart Awake?"
unplugged from Franz Lehar's Frederika
It should be noted that a few artists performed "unplugged," without benefit of a microphone.
Ross Patterson and his Little Big Band were the musical backbone of the evening, producing a rich range of timbres and moods with minimal resources.

Ask a Question
The Queen is known to be inseparable from her beloved Corgis. Now poignant pictures have emerged of the graves of royal pets from throughout the generations. The little-known plot is hidden away in a quiet corner of the 20,000-acre Sandringham estate in Norfolk. It was created by Queen Victoria after the death of her Collie, Noble, in 1887, and revived in 1959 when Elizabeth II wanted somewhere to bury her first Corgi, Susan.
The puppy was given to the Queen on her 18th birthday by King George VI, and her gravestone calls her 'the faithful companion of the Queen', an epitaph which is also used on the headstones of two of her descendants, Sugar and Heather. A stone boundary wall inset with plaques [commemorating more pets] separates the pet cemetery from the rest of the estate.

BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University's Wade King Student Recreation Center has been awarded LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), recognizing its advanced achievements in sustainability.
The LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for the Wade King Student Recreational Center isa first for this type of facility at any university recreation center in the nation.
LEED is the USGBC's leading-edge system for designing and constructing the world's greenest, energy efficient, high-performing buildings.
"The LEED recognition for our recreation center is unusual. It is another example of the University's continuing commitment to and national leadership with issues of sustainability," said Western President Karen W. Morse.
The Wade King Student Recreation Center was designed to achieve LEED Certification for energy use, lighting, water and material use as well as incorporating a variety of other sustainable strategies. LEED, which verifies environmental performance, occupant health and financial return, was established for market leaders to design and construct buildings that protect and save precious resources while also making good economic sense.
"It is such a great honor to be awarded the LEED certification. This has beenthe vision for our student body and administration since the early planning stages of the Wade King Student Recreation Center," said Marie Sather, director of WWU Campus Recreation Services. "A special recognition needs to be extended to our Facilities Management team at Western fortheir persistence and determination."
The Wade King Student Recreation Center opened to students, faculty, staff and alumni in fall 2003. The recreation center is a state-of-the-art facility that offers many activities, including a rock climbing wall, three weight and cardio areas, three-court gym, multi-activity court, pool, an indoor track, wellness room, food service and a lounge area.
The Portland firm of Opsis and Seattle firm of BJSS/Duarte Bryant designed the 98,000-square foot building and it was built by Bellingham's Dawson Construction Inc.
"The Wade King Student Recreation Center is to be congratulated for achieving LEED certification," said Rick Fedrizzi, president, CEO, founding chair, U.S. Green Building Council. "The certification of the Center sends a message that Western Washington University cares about the health of the building's users and employees. Everyone's comfort, safety and well-being benefit from the fresh air and natural day light."
The LEED Green Building Rating System is a voluntary third party rating system where credits are earned for satisfying specified green building criteria. Projects are evaluated within six environmental categories: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, and Indoor Environmental Quality. Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels of green building certification are awarded based on the total credits earned.
The Wade King Center was awarded a Certified-level certification. It also is the first university recreation center with a pool in the nation to receive LEED certification.
Western Washington University is a national leader in environmental education and sustainability. Recently, President Morse signed the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment, which is an effort to address global warming by garnering institutional commitments to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions.
A student-led effort facilitated by administrative efforts more than two years ago resulted in Western obtaining 100 percent of its electricity from renewable resources. Western is now ranked eighth on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's list of the nation's top 10 green energy purchasers in higher education.
Western's Huxley College of the Environment, among the first environmental colleges in the nation, is internationally recognized for the caliber of its faculty, programs and research. Students in programs such as the Vehicle Research Institute and Industrial Design are working to develop fuel efficient hybrid cars and useful products from recycled materials. Western also has a 35-year-old recycling program staffed by students.
The LEED standard has been adopted nationwide by federal agencies, state and local governments, and interested private companies as the industry standard of measurement for green building.

Staff and visitors alike were shocked Sunday morning to discover that the City's Zoo animals had been the target of yarn bombing.
Yarn bombing, other wise called urban knitting or guerrilla knitting, is a type of graffiti that uses non permanent knitwear instead of paint to mark or decorate public spaces. It is illegal in many places.
Numerous animals in the zoo we adorned in colourful knitted garments, allegedly put there overnight by a vigilantly group of crafters calling themselves the City Rebel Bombers. Over the past year the group has spontaneously bombed several city parks, the riverfront, downtown and City Hall. Normally, the knitting is just put on benches and trees. This is the first time the group has targeted live animals.
"We were planning to start small, maybe do up some sweaters for the squirrels or the geese down by the waterfront," said the City Rebel Bombers leader, who cannot be identified, and is known just as Erin. "But once we get knitting, it's hard to stop."
"Before we knew it, we had cowls big enough for tigers," said another CRB member, Mary W. via phone at an undisclosed location. "That's where the idea came from."
No one is sure how the knitters managed to get the yarn clothing onto the animals. Sully the head elephant was wearing just a trunk covering, three giraffes had on scarves, Tim the Tiger was wearing a cowl, and the zoo's main bear, Clive was sporting a full sweater.
"Clive's sweater was the most difficult," admitted Erin. "Do you know how hard it is to get the measurements for a black bear? We had to guess, and I admit there was a bit of sewing done at the last minute to get everything fitting right."
The reactions of the zoo visitors were mixed. Some were amused and amazed.
"We love it," said Adele Pinks. "We come every Sunday but this is the first time we've seen them in clothes."
Many visitors were quite alarmed.
"Tigers live in warm climates in nature," said 15 year old George Crumb. "Their fur is thicker than your fuzziest house cat. They don't need cowls. He's probably overheated."
Zoo staff spent much of the morning removing the knitwear from the animals. According to the official statement by head Zooperson Todd Renburger, the zoo was not aware that the bombing was going to happen, nor did they assist in any way.
"We have no idea how the bombers got in," said Mr. Renburger. "We're going to be opening an investigation, checking security tapes, and speaking to all zoo staff. Someone could have been hurt. Luckily none of the animals appear harmed, but we'll be monitoring them."
Word was out on all social media sites within minutes of the zoo opening, and crowds were pushing through the doors within the hour. Most of them managed to see the bombed animals before they were stripped of their knitting.
"Thanks goodness we got down here in time," said Jenn McCreany, holding her two young children up to view the Elephant. "This is not just something you'd want to view after on Facebook. The kids are thrilled. We think they should have the animals in knitting every week."
"Maybe every Sunday at least," added her husband Matt.

Today is a historic day for our state, as the USS North Dakota is christened in Groton Connecticut.
More than 100 North Dakotans along with Governor Jack Dalrymple and Senators Heidi Heikamp and John Hoeven are in Connecticut for the celebration.
This morning the ship Sponsor, Katie Fowler, officially christened the ship.
Jon Berg is in Connecticut.
The SSN 784, also known as the USS North Dakota is the second U.S. Navy ship to be named after the state, the previous ship, the BB-29 was commissioned back in 1910.
Now this ship will be commissioned in May of 2014, but before it's commissioned, it receives a proper Christening Celebration.
Once every year a christening event is held in Groton Connecticut, and this year all the attention is on North Dakota.
"It is today the fastest growing state in the nation, we are strong, and prosperous, we produce almost a million barrels of oil a day second only to Texas and they better start looking over their shoulder, and you know what today we've got something else we're going to brag about, that's the USS North Dakota," Senator John Hoeven said.
The state's last submarine was decommissioned in 1923, and pieces of the century old ship still hold a place at the state capitol.
"At swearing in ceremonies and the opening of our legislative sessions, at the memorial hall in our state capitol we serve punch from the silver service that was on the original USS North Dakota," Governor Jack Dalrymple said.
But in just a matter of months, this brand new undersea warship will begin protecting our nation for decades.
"As North Dakotans, when we look at this amazing ship, and we realize the pride and the workmanship that went into this and that when you built this boat you built a boat that was worthy of the great people of our state and for that we thank you," Senator Heidi Heitkamp said.
"I along with my husband and all North Dakotans wish her God Speed as her historic legacy begins," Ship Sponsor, Katie Fowler said.
"We couldn't be more proud to have this mighty submarine bear the name, North Dakota," Dalrymple said.
The USS North Dakota is Nuclear Powered, meaning that for the 33 years it patrols the seas, it will never have to refuel.
The last ship to be Christened in Groton was the USS Minnesota --- it was christened last year, on October 27, 2012.

seriously awesome post.ReplyDelete

Awesome post indeed. That's my coach!ReplyDelete
Great post!ReplyDelete
Right on time for me. I've recently started training and researching on how to use my handgun. I have had it for a year and never carried! I do CrossFit regulary and stay in shape. I've been thinking a lot about how that training would go hand in hand wtih some sort of self defence traning.
Another option for a 'non leathal' carry weapon... google "kubotan". Colt makes a nice one, it is mulit function and is even a nice working pen! They are under $20.00.
I've trained with Aaron & boxed for many years. I never felt more capable of taking care of myself than after training krav maga with Aaron & Barry Rosen. As a woman it is imperative to train in self defense whether or not it fits in your fitness goals. After living in the middle east I can't stress this enough. I hope women heed this blog post. Well done Aaron! I'm proud to be a part of OKM!ReplyDelete
- JessicaMay 24, 2012 at 9:01 PM
LOVE LOVE this post!!!!! I have trained in Krav Maga for 4 years now with Bart Brooks and Avi Moyal here in Texas. Krav is actually what got me interested in CrossFit - same mentality for sure. DEFINITELY think that everyone should learn at least basic self defense - incorporating it into everyday training is even better!!! Love this post!!!ReplyDelete
Excellent post!ReplyDelete
While I don't disagree with 99% of your post, as a traditional Taekwondo I can vouch that the techniques I train/teach are street effective. Just 2 weeks ago I had one of my students (18 yo female, 90 lbs bw) attacked on her college campus by 200 + lb would be rapist. Not only did she defend herself adequately she KO'd him. Just as not all Krav Maga schools are the same, not all Martial Arts schools are the same, just my humble opinion/observation.ReplyDelete
Awesome plan to help get more folks involved in kickboxing.ReplyDelete

It was reported yesterday that the NFL has decided to ban dunking the football over the goal-post next season.
Just in. The NFL will not allow dunking the ball over the goal post next season. It will be a penalty. Cannot use the ball as a prop.
— Paul Pabst (@PaulPabst) March 25, 2014
I don't think this will affect any of the Patriots, but it continues a trend of the league banning celebrations, something that hasn't sat well with the players. Celebrating scores is a terrific part of the game, and if this trend continues, pretty soon players won't be able to do anything after reaching the end zone. Yes, there are some people that liked players such as Barry Sanders, who would just flip the ball to the official, but the modern generation (including myself) likes to see what original ideas these guys come up with week in, and week out.
The only Patriots player that does a specific celebration each time he scores, is tight end Rob Gronkowski. His vaunted spike is safe for now.

I wanted to share a quick story with you guys. My girlfriend and I decided to go see Argo on Saturday night, even though Tom spoiled the ending (just kidding! I agree with Tom on this one). We drive to the theater, buy our tickets, get our popcorn and grab our seats. The movie was supposed to start at 7:10, but at 7:25 we were still staring at the graphics that come before the previews. The manager comes out and tells us that they had just installed new security software that protects their projector against hackers who want to pirate the movie and the software made the projector freeze. They had to reboot it to see if they could get it working again. In the meantime, they handed out a free movie ticket to everyone in the theater. 15 minutes later, he walks out again and says the projector is now broken and that we won't be able to see the movie. They gave us another free movie ticket. While we were compensated appropriately, there was a theater full of people (show was sold out), who legally paid to see a film and they couldn't because of the theaters 'protecting' against hackers who want to pirate. Just seemed pretty ridiculous to me, especially because I could walk of the theater and still torrent the film without any problem. I didn't, but this is just another example of consumers trying to pay legitimately and suffering.
Keep up the great work!
I heard Brian comment on the news that Christie Digital is working on a laser-based light source for future projectors and wanted to let you know about the company and some of their tech. I've worked at Christie as a field tech for about 6 years. Our major competition is Sony and to a lesser extent Barco. Let me tell you, if you've seen a 3D presentation on a Sony I can see why you're bullish on 3D. As Brian said, 3D requires a LOT of light to compensate for the loss when the polarizing filters are applied (in front of the lens and in front of your eyes - glasses). The image area that the light reflects off of is critical to a bright image output. We use DLP - Digital Light Processing - by Texas Instruments. Sony uses a proprietary technology called LCoS - Liquid Crystal on Silicon. The big issue with Sony is that they split the image area into two sections - one for right and left eye. This essentially cuts the light output in half as less is being viewed by each eye. This is then put through the polarizing filter that further reduces it before even making it to your glasses. Christie and all other DLP projectors make use of the entire DLP image area and increases the frame rate to triple the normal speed to accommodate the separate images for left and right eyes. This means you're seeing the entire image area in full light before it hits the polarizing filters. Christie has also always been crazy about light output. I believe we can trace our origins back to (though I hate him) Thomas Edison when he had ""invented"" film projection. So it is of no surprise that we're trying to up the ante again with frickin lasers ;-) Barco is also working on a similar light source setup and Sony seems to be pretty much giving up on Digital Cinema and leaving it to the pros ;-). Anyway. Keep up the great work.
PS. My setup is a Home Server with all of my Blu-Rays and DVDs ripped and a networked OTA TV antenna all running through multiple Windows Media Center PCs at every TV in the house. Access to Netflix, Hulu, ANY Web program (just open a browser), live HDTV that I can record centrally to the Home Server accessible from any of the TVs, and access to our entire movie collection. Best way I could see to cut the cord, save the most money, and have the most options. :-) Cheers!
In reference to your discussion on print and online advertising, eMarketer actually published a forecast this year on how online advertising has overtaken print advertising in the United States. Even in my own experience, budget for print advertising has certainly dropped drastically every year. In fact, several print publications in the past few years have ceased production. At this point, online advertising has risen to become second in advertising media spend. Television still has a clear lead when it comes to proportion of ad spend. In fact, it continues to grow albeit at a low rate. Most studies have shown that online's growth has really been at the expense of print and other media channels.
AdAge ""Online Ad Spending to Pass Print for the First Time, Forecast Says"": http://adage.com/article/media/emarketer-online-ad-spending-pass-print-time/232221/ ""TV to Maintain Global Ad Spend Dominance as Online Cannibalizes Other Media"": http://www.marketingcharts.com/wp/television/tv-to-maintain-global-ad-spend-dominance-as-online-cannibalizes-other-media-23704/
As for the story on viewer abandonment, I think it's important to establish that the study was focused specifically on video loading issues (e.g. buffering, freezing, etc.). Like Brian though, I'm curious to view abandonment with it comes to pre-roll, but that would require a different study.
What I find is more interesting is how you see very different approaches between the older media companies and that of new media. Though studios have come around to put their video content online, we are seeing a very similar user experience when it comes to ads. You'll get pre-roll along with several pods within each mid-roll/commercial break, just as you would on broadcast TV. However, one of YouTube's biggest ad offerings is their Instream TrueView product, where users can opt out after 5 seconds. Additionally, the advertiser doesn't pay until the advert is delivered in full or reaches at least 30 seconds of play. For YouTube, their argument is that it's all about engagement - reaching qualified audiences with what is essentially a pay-per-engagement filter. Then again, it's much easier for them to offer such a product when they have that giant bucket of people that they reach every day.
However, we reach another layer of complication as ""web"" video is moving away from the computer. It's much easier to garner a click when you're on a desktop or laptop computer. We start seeing a major drop off in ""user engagement"" as we move from phones to tablets to connected TVs. In fact, if you're watching Hulu Plus on your Xbox 360-home TV, you can't even click out! It almost reverses course on the arguments for digital advertising. In fact, several agencies buy long-form web video (from TV networks) through the TV buying group instead of the online/digital team.
So, I'm looking at my Netflix queue and saw an old show I watched when I was a wee lad in the UK called House of Cards. Even then in the 90's it was very apt and biting and I though, hay, something else to introduce the wife to. and then it hits me. You guys have been mentioning the new Netflix production House of Cards for months (seems like years...probably year) and a bulb goes off in my head...Can it be?
Why yes, there is the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULwUzF1q5w4). Day late, 62 pence short.
If it's even half as good as the original, releasing all episodes at once will have people clamoring for more, and Netflix will be rubbing their hands like Urquhart....on the inside.
Oh, and the show's fantastic, keep up the good work.
Thanks for reading!

On a quest for Iridium level
Alright time to pick a captain and a team name. I will be assisting in the game admin functions again this year so I don't really want to be the captain.
Reporting for duty. Looks like we have a few Canucks on the team
I captained a team last year and had a blast with the team. I will do it again if nobody want to take the lead, but I will request a co-captain join me.I would also recommend we have our own private page on FB where we can chat. Plus, it's easy for the Captain to keep tabs on everyone through FB.
Hi, glad to be a member of team 6. I like the Facebook page too.
And I just like running, not captaining or organizing anything!

Hi all. I'm back. I hope this year's better than last.

I don't post much here anymore so someone add me to the fb group when one is formed. Also a good kick in the assets when I whine. Pleaseandthanks.
Ok kiddies, I started our FB Team 6 page. Join the FB group by clicking on the link below. Once we gathered all of our missing sheep, I will change the FB Team 6 page setting to secret. I recognize a few of the names on our team already, so I will add those people directly. Good luck everyone.....https://www.facebook.com/groups/265816706905171/

Hello everyone! Excited about my first year in the challenge. Also pumped to be on a team and not doing individual. Haven't had FB in like 4 years, but I'll see what I can do about that.
Doubt I'm furthest south, but currently splitting time between Atlanta and South Carolina.
Personal Records:

We had several members last year set up a disposable FB account for the sole purpose of communicating with the team. Just a thought....
Sweet. Good thought. Just did it.
Hi everyone. I'm pretty sure I'll be the furthest south - so far south I'm in the middle of summer unlike the rest of you. I'm in New Zealand for anyone who doesn't get the Kiwi reference. I'm new to the miles challenge although I've been around RWBF and now RA for a long time - more of a lurker than a poster though.
I just requested to join the facebook group under my name IRL - Julie Collard. I have a facebook account but am not very active so it may take me a while to get use to posting there.
I'm excited about taking part in this challenge and hope to find it a motivating force!
PRs: 5k 24:12 // 5 mile 39:32 // 10k 49:10* // HM 1:52:18 (*short course)
"It's not the mountains we conquer, but ourselves."

Looks like we have 2 from New Zealand on our team.
Hi team,
Just checking in. I don't post very often but usually have my miles in on time weekly. I played a couple years back and am trying to get back into running more consistently. Between my work schedule and the weather here in Delaware I've fallen off tract. Lets see if some competition will give me the motivation to keep going. Great to meet you all.
Hello team!
This is my 3rd year doing the club/challenge. I'm looking forward to a renewed emphasis on running (and exercise in general) after coming up short in 2013. My motivation really fell off a cliff after an abandoned marathon attempt almost two years ago. And I've slowly managed to put on about 15 unwanted pounds since then. So it's really time to ramp back up on the mileage.
Oh, and I'm 100% facebook-less, by choice.
Hi jeff,
I completely understand your position on FB. But this game is 1000x better when you have a support group. Would you be willing to set up a disposable FB account for the sole purpose of communicating with the team? Just a thought....
Sorry I haven't checked in here earlier - I don't go on RW as much as I used to and I didn't realize this thread was here.
Looking forward to running with you all!
Also, we have a team name poll happening currently - if you aren't on Facebook, please PM me for the link to the poll - I'd rather not post the link on this site to keep it private. Thanks!
I'm checking in! I'll go join the FB page now
I'm running my first marathon in March so hopefully my training for that goes well!
If you haven't voted in the name poll - please do so ASAP! If you need access, please message me or our captain flats-rw.
We will probably move onto the final round within the next couple of days.
Hi Team,
Sorry for checking in late. First year in the game for me, so I might need some help. Thanks.

Do these work?
February 26, 2013 in Design Dilemma
Just wondering if these fabrics work together. I have also attached a sample of my rug? any suggestions on fabrics that would work better. The fabric I must keep is the checker fabric. Thanks.
Jayme H.
Where are the fabric going to be used? The lightest one is very light...could sorta "get lost" next to the main carpet if it will be used by it.

I think you need to change one. Maybe a brighter one to match your rug. Not much contrast with those three. What are they being used for?
February 26, 2013 at 2:05PM Like
The plan is for the light one to be used on a sofa, the diamond one on a wing chair and teh checker fabric is already on two Louis chairs.

Jayme H.
Hmm. I wonder if the diamond one is too small scale of a pattern?
February 26, 2013 at 2:10PM Like
I think they work. I would add a couple of blue pillows though.

A few pics of mixing patterns: your do match..just thinking a nice stripe may work in somewhere.
February 26, 2013 at 2:20PM Like
The small scale chevron reads as a solid from a distance so I would be inclined to go with a larger print on the wing chair or perhaps even leather.
Jayme H.
I was afraid it would all sort of blend together too much...
February 26, 2013 at 2:47PM Like
They work together nicely. A neutral backdrop on these pieces is a fine idea, the rug will be the star but the diamond with the red dot is a classic way to nod to red. I think sofas should be neutral so you can do more in future with them.

The fabrics look good together, I do agree with Jayme though that a stripe could work in nicely.
February 26, 2013 at 3:40PM Like
Need a bigger scale print as one of the prints. I had a hard time with this myself - I liked all small or medium scaled patterns.
