PELHAM, N.H. — The owner of a wayward cow in Pelham, N.H., that broke through a fence is speaking out against police use of a TASER to subdue the animal.
Police, meanwhile, are defending their actions.
Sgt. Mike Pickles tells the Eagle-Tribune that the cow was angry and agitated.
A TASER is a non-lethal device that delivers an electrical shock. It's typically used by police to subdue people trying to resist arrest.
The cow's owner, Wendy Bordeleau, is questioning whether use of the TASER was appropriate. She said relatives and neighbors had been working to corral the cow last weekend.
Pickles said the TASER did not injure the 600-plus-pound cow.

What is your connection to the KGB and its live show?
I first came across the incredible force that is the KGB live show at Farm Jammalamma 4. I was there shooting photos and I immediately loved their tunes. What really stood out though was how rowdy the crowd got. If I remember correctly it was a mid to late afternoon set and prior to it starting the crowd was pretty mellow…just sort of pacing themselves for the evening, ya know. Then BOOM! KGB takes the stage and the place goes nuts. I found out that this was no fluke either. Basically the same thing happened again this past year at Farm Jam. I was live painting all weekend there and again, it was a pretty mellow afternoon because it was about 100 degrees and people were taking it easy till night. But, just like my first KGB experience, the place erupted the second the set started. Then in October of this past year, while promoting the double header at Club Cafe, John contacted me and that is basically where the work relationship stemmed from. I was thrilled to be able to help…and they didn't dissapoint. I have literally never seen Club Cafe that crazy.
How and when did it all start?
…I think I already answered this. haha
How will your connection through art and your artistry be exemplified in this event?
I love to infuse visual art into any concert experience that I am a part of. It adds another really interesting element for anyone coming as a spectator…and from an artist standpoint, it is just so much fun to create live at a show. You feed off of the energy of the band and the crowd in what becomes somewhat of a performance. To me, visual art and music are like peas and carrots.

The third installment of the "Frontmen of Philly series" is this sunday and I am happy to join this dude crew. The show is in Philadelphia at The Fire on Girard avenue and starts at 9.
For those of you coming to NYC for the KGB show Friday at the Highline Ballroom, you are in for a night of pure adrenaline. We are proud to share the stage with road hardened Brooklyn rockers, YARN. This is one for the books. The last time we performed on this stage was with brother bobby long and that was OVER 2 YEAR AGO! So in celebration of those glory days here is a video of "2 years old" from that tour.
HighLine Info
Best and forever,
I want to talk about the current state of the band and music and where we want to be in a years time. Since releasing our debut album "June Found a Gun" earlier this year we have been working out new material for the next record. Some of these new songs are my personal favorite but maybe that's only because they are new. Either way over this past run we regularly performed four new tunes, two of which can be seen here as recorded by Sam Campbell of GiGspots.com. He recorded these songs in Pittsburgh at Club Cafe on 10/11 which was their debut live performance. (Thanks Sam!)
Fire & Time
(fun fact: I wrote the song as a conversation between an old flame. The second verse is supposed to be sung by a girl)
Win or Lose
(fun fact: Listen close to the chorus to hear Eric and I sing a different word)
Playing new material is extremely important to any band who wants to create a career through playing music. I am so privileged to be able to create new music with such great guys. So for my 3rd thank you of this post I'd like to thank John Hildenbrand, Eric Lawry, Robert Dwyer and Jonathan Davenport for sticking your neck out on a limb musically and coming out the other end together. When I write these songs and present them to the band I have no idea how it will sound in the end. With out the creativity and patience of these guys we would be "full-time waiters" instead of "part-time waiters" .
This brings me to the many unique fans and people we met on this tour who made every show special and opened many more opportunities. I say to myself before every show, no difference if the room is empty or packed, "playing music for people is a privilege." This is a hard truth for the touring musician, but one that is a reality. We want to keep playing and creating music for you, but we need YOU to make that happen. The shows we have booked in December play a huge role in the future of the KGB. Below are the keystone shows.
Friday, December 7th at the Appalacian Brewing Company in Harrisburg PA Thursday, December 13th at DC9 in Washington, DC Saturday, December 22nd at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, Pa (tickets available here) Thursday, December 27th at The Mercury Lounge in New York, NY

Thursday, December 13th at DC9 in Washington, DC

Thursday, December 27th at The Mercury Lounge in New York, NY
In a perfect world you would be raging with us for each of these shows, but the world is not perfect. Do your part by spreading the word to your friends and family to help us make these shows blowout for the venues so we can continue on our path the way we believe. WE chose to pursue music without the umbrella of a label or outside booking agency. With that decision we have the ability to do things to best benefit us and our fans. It is something we are proud of and although challenging, extremely rewarding.
With the new year we have so much planned including a spring tour in February! We want to play for you in places YOU want us and venues that provide YOU with the best experience. That being said we will play almost anywhere and use your imagination because we can play as loud or as quiet as you want. Contact us (firstname.lastname@example.com) with all of your ideas and we will do our best to make them a reality.
Wrapping this up I would like to present you with the unreleased trailer from our record release show at World Cafe Live earlier this year. To me this video is what KGB is all about. We strive to create total experiences with our big events and this video captures that spirit more so than any other video we have. The Holiday show on Saturday 12/22 will be even crazier than this and we can't wait! With you support we can make every show this special and continue to bigger and better things for everyone in the KGB family.

Experiencing nature as a child is a valuable gift I had the privilege to receive growing up in Western Pennsylvania. Clarion, where my four siblings and I called home, has a rich connection to the it's rivers and surrounding forests. Now that I live in Philadelphia I can appreciate how fortunate I was and how my relationship with nature, although changed, still is apart of who I am.
In the summer of 2008 I got a job as a rock climbing guide in Fayetteville, West Virginia. Fayetteville is home to some of the best whitewater and rock climbing on the east coast and is better known as the New River Gorge. That summer was a wet one. For the first few months it seemed to rain almost everyday which made for terrible climbing, but excellent rafting and kayaking. Over those early summer months the other guides and I spent many days on the river and grew to understand the culture that went along with that way of living. For some, being on the river was a complete lifestyle. It was what defined their existence and personality. For others is was merely a vacation from the daily grind with family and friends. This spectrum of participation was amazing to see first hand because of how a shared experience could bring all these groups together into a community. A community that adopted myself that summer and showed me the true spirit and positive power possible in outdoor recreation. The fall came and with my renewed passion I went back to school at Penn State to pursue a major in Recreation, Parks and Tourism Management with a specific focus in outdoor adventure recreation.
Throughout the final years of my college education I grew increasingly more active in my local outdoor community. I was leading rafting and climbing trips for the university as well as honing my own technical abilities on the rock and the water as a leader with my own group of friends. Everything I did was rewarding which only drew me in closer. Writing this now it only makes we wonder where I would be if I hadn't started playing music. I used to see myself in Argentina or Canada spending everyday on the mountain, unlocking some ancient person I was meant to be. I idolized the skin of the climber turned to leather by the sun and his rag tag belongings beaten by the rock. I wanted the dirt and the grit and the freedom. I still feel this urge now. The urge to drop it all and leave everything for the woods. This is a feeling I embrace like an old friend and welcome its ghost as a gift of my fortunate past. Everything I have accomplished has lead me to where I am today and to the unique organization, First Descents.
"First Descents offers young adult cancer fighters and survivors a free outdoor adventure experience designed to empower them to climb, paddle and surf beyond their diagnosis, defy their cancer, reclaim their lives and connect with others doing the same." (firstdescents.org)
Through a string of friends and connections we were introduced to this rapidly growing Colorado based organization. I couldn't have imagined a better union between the outdoor person I was with the musician I have become. To celebrate this relationship KGB is performing after the Rock and Roll half marathon this Sunday. I hope you now have a better understanding of what has drawn me and the rest of the band to this organization. It is a deep and personal connection I am proud to showcase. This Sunday will surly be one to remember and I hope to share that experience with everyone.
-Kalob Griffin

San Agustín Archaeological Park
Standing on a hilltop, the statue looks dead ahead, a smile carved across his lips. He wears the coat of a jaguar, the big cat's head resting on his. On top of the jaguar, lies the skin of a grinning caiman.
This volcanic rock statue is a representation of an ancient indigenous ritual, when the young men dressed in animal hides to absorb their powers. This elegant and brilliantly sculptured statue is one of hundreds that inhabit Colombia's San Agustin national park, called by UNESCO "the largest group of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America."
These magnificent pieces are all that remain of an aesthetically advanced civilization that lived and disappeared in mystery 1,500 years ago, leaving only these statues to speak for it.
Archaeologists estimate that the statues were created between 100 and 800 B.C.
Many of the pieces, which range from one meter to seven meters and can weigh more than a ton, dwell on life's duality; the sun and the moon, death and birth. Archaeologists estimate that the statues were created between 100 BC and 800 AD.
Gazing at the elaborate designs can be a hallucinatory experience; the grinning demon, the glaring eagle with the snake in its beak, the man pulling a lizard from his mouth.
Our guide was Fabio Burbano, who had an encyclopedic knowledge of the statues and the region. According to archaeologists, he said, the trippy nature of the relics was the result of heavy use of a natural psychotropic drugs.
The statues are sculptured with the eye of a master, revealing intricate details on closer inspection. Look closely at the face and one sees that the man's eye sockets depict two eagle heads staring at each other.
Many of the pieces were created as guardians, posted to stand for eternity at many of the indigenous graves that are scattered around the national park. Everyone estimates that the statues could be just one third of what remains buried.
Brooke McIntyre, visiting Colombia from New Zealand, stood admiring one of the statues in the nearby Isnos Park, which like San Agustin was added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1995. The statute towered above, stretching 7 meters in to the sky.
"They're just so impressive,'' she said, standing in the statue's shadow.
But since she's been here she's been pleasantly surprised.
The hospitality has been amazing….yesterday we went for a long horseback ride to visit another park. The guide was really good, explaining the history and the stories behind the statues. And it was a beautiful landscape.
The parks are indeed scenic, set amid gentle hills and thick woods. Butterflies flit across the forest paths (including one specimen that is painted with what looks remarkably like the number 98 on its wings). From behind the mass of trees there is a constant chorus of birds and insects.The town of San Agustín lies 400 km southwest of Bogotá
The small town of San Agustin is 400 km southwest of Colombia. One can get here on any of the multiple daily flights to the city of Neiva. From there it's a 3-hour drive through the two of Colombia's Andean mountain ranges.
We stayed in the Yacobi hotel, on the outskirts of the town and on the road to the main national park. The hotel is nice and reasonable at 60,000 pesos a night. The finest restaurant we found was 'Donde Richard', which specializes in barbecues and serves up a good breakfast.
Tourists are coming in ever-greater numbers to visit this town and the surrounding national parks, but this zone still remains an undiscovered gem. A trip here off-season, and with luck, you can have the whole park to yourself, free of the annoyances of other people's snapping cameras. (However, during peak seasons, such as Easter and January, it can be hard to find accommodation within one hour of the park, more a testament to the small number of hotels than anything else).
While the traditional draw for tourists has been the parks, San Agustin is keen to broaden its appeal. They are encouraging the development of adventure tourism, such as rock-climbing, nature walks and white-water rafting. We took to the Magdalena River, dressed in the obligatory wetsuit to protect against the cold water. Amir Bouserahare, a French émigré, runs Magdalena Rafting .
"There are few rivers in Colombia that have such good rafting as here along the Magdalena river,'' he said, as we made final preparations to launch the raft. He offers tours for the complete beginner that pass by level 2 rapids all the way up to the toughest level 5.
The river winds through the valley, forests stretching up the mountainsides. Farmers wave down from the riverside, cheering on our raft as we approach one of the major swirls.
At one point, the boat drifts past a towering waterfall that crashes 180 meters in to the river, creating a permanent cloud of spray.
As we left San Agustin, up in the mountains, the statues continued their eternal vigilance.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. Recent developments in postharvest disease control will be highlighted at the 35th annual Citrus Postharvest Pest Control conference sponsored by the University of California, Riverside Extension April 23 and 24 in Santa Barbara.
Seminar sessions will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 23, and 8 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 24, at the Hyatt Santa Barbara.
This year's conference will include a large segment on food safety as well as an update on research being conducted in Florida regarding the impact of Huanglongbing (HLB) on citrus juice quality.
"It's important for California producers to see how HLB impacts juice quality and what impacts we can expect on our fresh fruit industry if HLB begins to affect commercial citrus groves in California," said conference coordinator Mary Lu Arpaia, Cooperative Extension Subtropical Horticulturalist and a professor in UC Riverside's Department of Botany and Plant Sciences.
HLB is the biggest threat to California's citrus industry. The disease is lethal and currently there is no cure once the tree becomes infected, Arpaia said.
The two-day conference is designed for researchers, industry professionals and service company representatives and also features lectures on domestic and international pesticide legislation and regulation, new fungicide resistance, growth regulators and new concepts of fruit packing.
Fee is $399 (waived for reporters covering the conference) and includes continental breakfast both days, lunch and reception on Tuesday, parking fees and materials.
For more information, go to https://www.extension.ucr.edu/enroll/catalog/olr_course_details.php?crsid=5286, email email@example.com or call Linda Coco at (951) 827-5804.
Reporters interested in covering the conference must RSVP by end-of-day Friday, April 19, by calling (951) 827-5804.
The University of California, Riverside is a doctoral research university, a living laboratory for groundbreaking exploration of issues critical to Inland Southern California, the state and communities around the world. Reflecting California's diverse culture, UCR's enrollment has exceeded 21,000 students. The campus will open a medical school in 2013 and has reached the heart of the Coachella Valley by way of the UCR Palm Desert Center. The campus has an annual statewide economic impact of more than $1 billion. A broadcast studio with fiber cable to the AT&T Hollywood hub is available for live or taped interviews.

Longtime Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad died today. Major League Baseball's official website has a loving tribute:
The son of a poor family during the Great Depression, Pohlad rose from humble beginnings to head a family-owned network of banking, bottling, real estate and other companies. Forbes magazine wrote in September that Pohlad was worth around $3.6 billion, ranking him No. 102 on the magazine's list of America's wealthiest people.
[ . . . ]
Over the nearly quarter-century he presided over the Twins, Pohlad and his family donated millions of dollars and devoted countless hours to the community through the Twins Community Fund and the Carl and Eloise Pohlad Family Foundation. The Twins' annual award for community service is also named after the owner.
Pohlad kept hold on the franchise and watched as it was revitalized earlier this decade with the Twins winning division titles in four of the past seven seasons. The club also saw its future in Minnesota assured for the near future as it will open its new ballpark, Target Field, in 2010 — a testament to Pohlad's persistence of keeping baseball alive in the Twin Cities.
MLB.com is too polite to say this, but "Pohlad's persistence" meant robbing the taxpayers of Hennepin County at gunpoint. Pohlad refused to pay more than one-third of Target Field's cost himself, so the state and county imposed a $392 million sales tax increase. Normally such tax hikes require voter approval, but the Minnesota legislature bypassed the voters entirely because it would inconvenience the Pohlad's schedule. And just to add insult to injury, Hennepin County used eminent domain to steal the land for the stadium site.
Pohlad was the true embodiment of the term "robber baron"; he used his personal wealth as moral sanction to justify theft from others. Free market champions already face a difficult task in challenging the prevailing evils of socialism and statism. Criminals like Pohlad only add to that burden, and for that he richly deserves eternal scorn.

I'm not seeing dimensions for length on your dresses, unless I'm missing it. Or could you share how tall you are for reference? The Elizabeth looks knee-length on you, a few inches above the knee on the brunette model, and finger tip length on the blonde model.ReplyDelete
Also, important question, are the side slits on the Gabby open? Because as tall as I am, if that's open, it's going to be more of a shirt than a dress on me.
Hey Suzy! We are still working on the glitches. Happy problem to have - too many visitors! Some of the info is not showing, but the size guide will soon say that I am 5'3" the brunette is 5'8" and the blonde is 6'0" :) Gaby slits are open! xxReplyDelete
Oh my this hat is fantastic!ReplyDelete
I am a single mom helping two girls through college. I have $0 budget for me. But I dream of owning your clothes. Beautiful! If I had a line of clothing I'd want it to look just like yours!

2011 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Jeffrey W. Wright, Stephen Burton, Kevin Crezee; Respiratory Care, Primary Childrens Medical Center, Salt Lake City, UT
This study is to determine liter flows needed to attain the prescribed NitricOxide (NO) parts per million (ppm) to the lower airway using a Heated Humidified Nasal Cannula (HHNC). Study variables: Multiple inspiratory times (Ti), Tidal Volumes (Vt), Respiratory Rates (RR), and liter per minute (lpm) flows. Lung model: The lung model was a lexan plastic box with a silastic test lung placed inside the box to simulate thoracic motion. The the box volume was 165cc with multiple ports for gas sampling/return, and for mounting the model's nose. The nose consisted various adaptors and tygon tubing. To turn the model into a breathing device it was attached to a Drager Evita XL in Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) mode. In APRV, the pressure release time became the Ti, and the P high was the expiratory phase in our lung model. The communication tube between the Drager and lung had a screw clamp to regulate flows. The Study: A Fisher Paykel (FP) humidifier, FP HHNC, and INO Max DS were used in this study. The circuit was assembled and warmed to 37 C. The INO Max DS calibrated, and then set at a delivered dose of 20 ppm and analyzed. The sample line was attached to the lung model. The HHNC was placed on the lung model nose, 2 to 3 minutes would pass to allow lung gasses to reached a steady state before recording data. Parameter changes started with HHNC flows being increased in increments of 1 lpm starting at 2 lpm and ending at 6 lpm. After all lpm changes were complete, the flow would be decreased back to 2 lpm and the RR would be increased by about 10. The flow rates were again increased as described. Once the RR was 60 and HHNC was at 6 lpm, the Ti would be increased, RR decreased back to 30, HHNC flow rate back to 2 lpm. The process would start over.(see tables 1, 2, and 3) When Ti or Vt were changed the screw clamp was adjusted to ensure flow throughout the Ti. Results: It was found that RR made little change in the delivered NO. The lower flow rates showed the biggest decrease in the delivered NO ppm. Ti, Vt, and HHNC flows were the factors that made the greatest effect. A Vt of 15cc with 2 lpm showed a 25% reductions in the analyzed NO within the lung model. As the Vt decreased, so did the difference between set NO and delivered NO. Conclusion: Where Ti and Vt are variables that can't be controlled higher flow rates with the HHNC are going to be needed to deliver the prescribed dose of NO to a patient's lower airways.

Recycling Candles
Is it just me, or is anyone else pinching themselves that it's April? With five weeks of work at my new job under my belt, getting adventurous in the kitchen has pretty much taken a back seat (besides the homemade pasta we made, featured in this DIY for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
Honestly, last night we had a Boca burger and tater tots (a revival of my college days). Tonight I actually felt like I had a real meal – a cheese steak sandwich from our local Ferch's Malt Shoppe. My sister got sweet potato fries with her chicken wrap and I was astounded that they served them with a side of marshmallow creme (has anyone ever seen this before!?).
Speaking of things I like (marshmallows), here's something else I love (candles). Awhile back, I recycled my coveted Yankee Candles into one custom-made creation. This is best and easiest craft project I've ever stumbled upon.
First, save all your empty jars. Collect at least 3-4 before attempting to make another candle.
Next, place a wick (I got mine at Michael's) in a glass container – this is just a leftover canning jar. Tie the wick around a pencil to keep it upright.
Next, place about an inch of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Keep your old candle in the water until the wax melts.
Pour the wax into your new jar. But make sure you let the wax cool before you add another layer (which will keep the colors from mixing). And ta da – a brand new candle!
Question: What do you like recycling? My friends and I recycle clothes all the time during our clothing swaps. A super fun way to spend a night and add to your wardrobe.
Liked this post? Then check out these:
One Response to "Recycling Candles"
That is such a great idea!! I also love the clothing swap idea. PS Sweet potato fries in marshmallow creme sounds amazing….

|Parhelion, Svalbard
July 2011
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Moon ring!
Last July I was leading a group of photographers on a trip around Svalbard, not far from the North Pole. Highlights of the trip included polar bears and other wildlife, but other subjects caught our attention too. One example was parhelion, where the sunlight refracts through high-altitude ice crystals to form a wide ring around the sun.

Levittown American Legion Post 1711 once again hosted the annual Memorial Day parade this year in Levittown, featuring dozens of participants who stepped off from Island Trees Middle School and headed down Hempstead Turnpike to Veterans Memorial Park outside the Levittown Library. Levittown's parade, one of the largest on Long Island, was again chaired by American Legion PPC Henry To.
The Levittown Property Owners Association met on May 9, with President Jim Morrow presiding. The guest speakers were: Town of Hempstead Councilman Gary Hudes, Town of Hempstead Senior Deputy Attorney Charles S. Kovit and Town of Hempstead Department of Buildings Chief Plan Examiner Lois Carnovale. They spoke on issues which are both current and long unresolved.
The eighth grade baseball team defeated Salk by the score of 8-4. Dan Bartlett pitched five strong innings, allowing just two earned runs, while striking out seven. Dan also went one-for-two with an RBI. Chris Nickel's three-run homerun and Bryan Verbitsky's solo homerun helped keep the game out of reach. Also contributing with hits were Bryan Peterson, Cody Abramson and Brandon Garcia. The eighth grade team then won its fourth straight game by defeating Hicksville by the score of 8-1. Bryan Verbitsky pitched a gem, allowing just one run on two hits with 11 strikeouts in four innings of work. George Balsamo pitched the final three innings, striking out eight batters. Offensively, lead-off batter Cody Abramson led the way, scoring three runs and stealing four bases. Chris Nickel belted his second homerun of the season and Bryan Verbitsky hit a triple.
Levittown Swimming Association will be having swim team registrations for boys and girls ages 6 to 18 on Friday, June 9 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Levittown Hall and June 15 from 7 to 8 p.m. at Levittown Hall.

Second thoughts March 30, 2008Posted by Ron Warnick in Businesses, Movies.
According to the information with the video, this is a student film shot at Dry Creek Station on old Route 66 east of Barstow, Calif. It's not an earth-shattering story, but it serves to show the value of slowing down and thinking about things — a Mother Road attribute if there ever was one.
Incidentally, it's fairly obvious from its design that Dry Creek Station was a former member of mostly vanished Whiting Bros. chain.

Zeitgeist Films | Mr. Conservative: Goldwater on Goldwater
Julie Anderson
CC Goldwater
Tani Cohen
Film Info
90 mins
In English
Rating: Not Rated
In 1964, a little girl appeared in a presidential campaign commercial on TV sets across the country. In the commercial, the girl slowly plucks the petals off of a daisy. A voice begins an eerie, monotonous countdown, and at zero, the picture dissolves into a nuclear detonation and its mushroom cloud after-effect. I always thought that little girl looked a lot like me. The commercial appeared only once, but its impact will never be forgotten. It was meant to be a direct attack on a man who was being vilified for his politics. That "dangerous" man, who many thought would destroy the world if elected President, was my grandfather, Senator Barry Goldwater.
- CC Goldwater
Producer, narrator and granddaughter CC Goldwater takes viewers on a cinematic journey into the life of Barry Goldwater in her first film, MR. CONSERVATIVE: GOLDWATER ON GOLDWATER. The film reveals Goldwater as a man either glorified or vilified by the American public. It traces the roots of Goldwaters conservative philosophy, conveys how he united the conservative movement to lead the Republican Party into a new generation of politics and demonstrates how his consistently Libertarian mindset led him to diverge from the Conservative party orthodoxy in the 80s and 90s. As journalist George Will has said of Goldwaters pivotal presidential race against Lyndon B. Johnson, People say Goldwater lost in 1964. Some of us think Goldwater won. It just took 16 years to count the votes. In 1980, we finally got the results in. And conservatism had won.
At the same time, the film demonstrates that Goldwater was personally liked by politicians on both sides of the aisle, in an era when there seemed to be more civil discourse between parties than there is today. To tell the story of this multi-faceted man, CC Goldwater includes home movies, intimate family stories, Barry Goldwaters own extensive photography, archival footage of his public life, and interviews about his political and social life with prominent political faces from the past and present. Among those interviewed by CC Goldwater and director Julie Anderson are Hillary Clinton, Edward Kennedy, John McCain, John Warner, James Carville, Al Franken, John Dean, Ben Bradlee, Helen Thomas, Walter Cronkite, Andy Rooney, George Will, Bob Schieffer, Robert MacNeil, various Goldwater family members and members of Goldwaters personal staff.
MR. CONSERVATIVE: GOLDWATER ON GOLDWATER is an HBO Documentary Films presentation; directed by Julie Anderson; produced by CC Goldwater and Tani Cohen. Composer, Joseph Vitarelli; director of photography, Tom Inskeep; editor, Juliet Weber; executive producer for Sweet Pea Films, CC Goldwater. For HBO: supervising producer, Nancy Abraham; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.

Amid the incessant political bickering and general national strife, you might not be feeling too patriotic these days. But for most of us all it takes to stir up that deep-seated loyalty is some rousing Tchaikovsky. All right, so his 1812 Overture was written to commemorate Russia's defeat of Napoleon, but by now it's such a staple at Independence Day concerts that we're allowed to pretend it's our own (plus, there will be cannons!). The classic is but one of the features of the Houston Symphony's Star-Spangled Salute, which unites conductor Michael Krajewski and his bevy of musicians with the Texas Tenors for renditions of (otherwise) all-American classics including the "Star-Spangled Banner," "Shenandoah," "My Country," and "God Bless the U.S.A." Oh, and "Deep in the Heart of Texas" (Okay, okay, so Deep in the Heart of Texas isnt exactly a 4th of July song but its a holiday, lighten up.) 8 p.m. Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, 2005 Lake Robbins Drive, Spring.

text: Well my only insight is that Emalon is a T8 boss so he would be harder. Not to mention the switching back and forth between adds would lower it alot. Try smacking on a target dummy for lets say 7 minutes or how ever long the fight was. Even Patchwerk would be a better DPS check then Emalon.

Go ahead, follow that link and read it. Then come back and tell me how you're going to get anything significant from adding 2 small garlic cloves and a half-inch piece of ginger to the water in which you "wilt" spinach. "Oh," you say, "but the recipe called for the dish to be lightly seasoned with salt and pepper! Surely that will give the wilted spinach some flavor?" Fuck you, my hastily constructed straw man. Look, I know the New York Times is my go-to place for scorn, but what the holy hell is going on here? Just read what the author of the recipe said about it:
I desperately wanted a pile of fresh greens and washed a pound for four people. The method was something I've come to think of as an oil-free stir-fry: I cooked a large handful of spinach at a time in a half-inch of boiling water, adding a touch of garlic and ginger and swirling the greens with tongs. As soon as they were barely wilted, I transferred them to a serving dish.
That's not a stir-fry, David. That's boiling spinach. You've boiled spinach in very lightly seasoned water. Congratulations, and thank you so very much for the recipe. I'm waiting for the follow-up article in which you provide variations such as carrots boiled in lightly seasoned water, leeks boiled in lightly seasoned water, water boiled with lightly seasoned water or possibly kale boiled in lightly seasoned water. What kills me is that the recipe is billed as "oil-free spinach with ginger." Oil free indeed. As if oil is a bad thing? I use the word "fuck" too much, I know. But fucking hell…
Tanis, if you're such a glutton that post-Thanksgiving all you can manage to stuff down your gullet is steamed fish and "lightly boiled" spinach, then I'm terribly sorry for you. I'm not sorry for your editors at the New York Times, who apparently don't know their ass from a bowl of lightly boiled spinach. (tip: your ass is the one that's not green and watery).
Update: God bless my pointed little head, I just realized that the author of the recipe above was the source of an earlier post I wrote about frying oysters, in which I expressed skepticism about the author's ability to cook. I'm both embarrassed that I didn't realize I was criticizing the same guy, and slightly gratified that I appear to have been correct about Mr. Tanis. So it goes.
I very nearly eliminated the New York Times Dining & Wine section from my newsreader this evening, because I so rarely find anything there worth reading. Then I realized that a fair portion of my content here comes from making fun of the NYT Dining & Wine section, and I reconsidered.

For an IPad friendly, Hi Definition Version of this video, please click here:
Yulee, Fla. - It was a grand night for a high school football game in north Florida on Friday night as five-star running back Derrick Henry and Yulee hosted high four-star running back Kelvin Taylor and Belle Glades Glades Day. There was a full moon and an absolutely packed house to watch two of the nation's finest running back prospects go against each other. In fact, both Henry and Taylor are chasing a slew of state and national records as well as eachother.
In the end, the massive Henry stole the show, rushing for 369-yards and six touchdowns, in routing the Gators. Henry, who committed to Alabama on Friday afternoon, celebrated in grand style. He scored on runs of 65, 37, 30, 5, 19 and 26-yards.
"That was a great game," said Henry after another huge night. "We were on national T.V. and we won 42-6. All the credit goes to my teammates, especially the defense. They played great tonight. And this was big for us because we were 0-2 on national T.V. coming into this game. I am proud of our victory.
"Today was about closure, especially with my commitment to Alabama. Now I can really focus on helping us win state."
Great, that's all Henry needs now is focus. That could spell doom for Yulee's opposition between now and mid-December, as Henry continues his assault on the record books. The previous week he rushed for Florida state record 502-yards and six touchdowns. For the season he has 1,760 yards and 23 touchdowns in Yulee's first five games. Former University of Tennessee standout and NFLer Travis Henry (Frostproof, Fla.) holds the single season state record with 4,003 yards but this mark could be in serious jeapordy if he continues at this pace. Henry now has a state record 39 consecutive 100-yard games and is closing in on 10,000 career yards and the national career mark which stands at 11,232. Henry now has 9,723 yards.
The thing that's so impressive with Henry is the defense knows what's coming and they still can't stop him. He's a freight train who happens to be 6-foot-3 and 243-pounds. He had 35-carries on the night and one reception and didn't seem to lose a step in the second half or late in the game. Henry runs with power and has a mean stiff arm. Henry is a long strider with deceptive speed and athleticism. He can change directions for a big back and has nice balance and vision. Sure he runs high but what 6-3 running back wouldn't?
At the end of the day Henry is not the most graceful of backs you will ever see. But he's literally a physical workhorse that won't be denied and who gets the job done. Henry has super endurance and seems to be just one of those guys that gets stronger as the game unfolds.
The Gator bound Taylor finished with a quietest 235 rushing yards I have ever seen. His longest run was 37-yards and he also had runs of 30, 21, 20 and 19-yards. In his defense the Yulee defense did a nice job most of the night surrounding him and not really letting Taylor get loose.
Like Henry, Taylor had 35 rushing attempts and he also caught two passes out of the backfield. He had the Gators lone score on a short run in the first quarter. He was still impressive. He runs with speed and power. Taylor is blessed with outstanding instincts, vision and balance. He also does a very nice job of following and hugging his blockers when hitting the hole or taking things outside.
But what sets Taylor apart is his feet. He has tremendously quick feet and it's that quickness that sets up everything he does.
Taylor, the son of former Gator great and future Hall of Famer, running back Fred Taylor, has more career yards than Henry. But that's factoring in his 8th grade season where he played on the Glades Day varsity. If you count that year Taylor has amassed 10,817 career rushing yards. If you only include his freshman season to present Taylor has 9,233 career yards. Taylor has 171 career touchdowns and Henry now has 120.
Below are Henry and Taylor highlights from Glades Day/Yulee game this past Friday.

Shae Bradley of Buckwild quasi-fame has been made an offer regarding her hillbilly sex tape that she can (and will) refuse ... but it's still pretty funny.
The reality star is not happy that ex-boyfriend Jesse J is trying to shop around his Shae Bradley sex tape - in which the duo get it on trailer park style.
Regrets or no regrets, YouPorn (who is also in negotiations for the Farrah Abraham sex tape) wants to give her $50,000 in cash today if she'll sign off.
To sweeten the deal, they even offered to throw in a year's supply of cigarettes. Not just the crappy brands either - any premium kind she wants!
And those are expensive nowadays!

The new year was only 3 days old when the call came in to Fort Wayne police dispatchers: "deer down."
And the next day: "deer needs put down." And the day after that: "Cadillac Deville vs deer."
Of course, those dispatcher log notes are no different from past years in a continuation of people-deer conflicts that have become all too common in a state that had no white-tailed deer three generations ago.
And the conflicts are not only with deer.
Coyotes, wild pigs, turkeys. Even alligators. Communities nationwide are grappling with how to deal with nuisance wildlife.
Coyotes have made inroads, with attacks on pets increasing around Indianapolis, according to news reports. Wild pigs are on the move in southern Indiana, where a mountain lion sighting near Bloomfield was confirmed in 2010.
Warsaw started a deer task force a few years ago and opened parts of the city to urban bow hunting, which Fort Wayne also did. Bloomington, however, has yet to address its deer problem after spending two years studying the issue.
Controlling wildlife is a delicate matter. Yet, humans have intruded on animal habitats, killed their natural predators, and welcomed critters into their yards.
As state DNR biologist Steve Backs half-joked using the ever-present fox squirrel as an example, if you're carrying feed in 5-gallon buckets, "you've probably got a problem."
With deer, reintroduction efforts begun in the 1930s were so successful that the U.S. deer population is estimated today at more than 30 million, according to some news reports.
While Indiana's Department of Natural Resources does not estimate the state's deer population, Chad Stewart, a DNR biologist, said it is the largest since pre-colonial times.
Last month, Time magazine wrote that the populations of deer, beavers, raccoons, wild pigs, black bears and Canada geese, among others, have exploded since the mid-1900s. Writer David Von Drehle noted that Americans "now live, work and play in closer proximity to untamed fauna than any other generation of Americans in more than a century."
State Farm Insurance estimates that there are more than 30,000 deer collisions a year in Indiana. Deer also are host to ticks that spread Lyme disease. Rabies are spread by raccoons and other wild mammals. Wild hogs can cause extensive damage to crops and carry diseases that can be transferred to domestic swine or to other animals, according to the state DNR.
Managing population growth, then, is essential, and hunting is often the most common method.
While the number of Indiana hunters doesn't come near the half-million mark seen 50 years ago, hunting has had somewhat of a resurgence, with the number of paid hunting license holders increasing from 232,819 in 2005 to about 274,000 last year.
Although deer steal the limelight in northeast Indiana wild turkeys and hogs are also causing problems in other parts of the state.
The DNR's Backs, based in Mitchell in southern Indiana, said people buy wild turkey eggs, hatch and raise them but can't deal with the adult animals. Many are turned loose in the country and gravitate back to humans, where they can be aggressive.
In Carmel, turkeys knocked over some older people. In another case, children were confronted by turkeys in a schoolyard, he said.
"The only solution is to destroy the animals," he said.
With some TV programs glorifying their hunt, wild pigs have become an issue in southern Indiana. While hogs are spreading, the migration "is happening on rubber tires," with the illegal release of hogs for hunting, Backs said.
A wild pig was a suspected source of a strain of E. coli found in spinach grown in California and blamed for killing three people and sickening more than 200 in 2006.
For deer the most "practical, safe, and cost-effective" way to manage the population is to kill them, according to the DNR. But "harvesting" is emotional for some.
In Bloomington, the issue boiled down to arguments over lethal and non-lethal methods to control deer. The Associated Press reported in December that the City Council had yet to act on recommendations in a 200-page report a year after adopting them.
In the 1990s, Dune Acres in Chesterton became the first Indiana community to address deer populations through controlled hunting. Surrounded by Dunes National Lakeshore, the gated community will always have deer but the hunting program improved vegetation and "deer no longer appear emaciated," according to a recently released DNR urban deer guide.
Several urban deer zones across the state followed. Today there are zones in some or all of Lake, Porter, Vanderburgh, Allen, Marion, Hendricks, Boone, Hamilton, Tippecanoe, LaPorte and Kosciusko counties. The zones allow bow hunting between Sept. 15 and Jan. 31, in accordance with local ordinances.
It's not hard to see why the zones have gained acceptance.
In 2008, a large deer entered a south-side Fort Wayne commercial garage. A couple of weeks later five deer leapt to their deaths off the U.S. 224 overpass and onto the northbound lanes of I-69 during the noon hour. Two months after that a deer jumped through a west-side law office window late one morning, hitting a lawyer and knocking over fax machines and computers.
The Fort Wayne urban deer zone, which includes land within the Interstate 69/469 beltway and is among the state's first, began in 1996. Hunting in city parks is prohibited without permission. Otherwise licensed bow hunting, with landowner approval, is allowed.
In 2012, 282 Fort Wayne urban deer zone licenses were issued, according to the most recent DNR figures.
"We do not have any ordinances within our chapter for Animal Care and Control that make it illegal to hunt," Belinda Lewis, director of Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control, responded in an email.
"When someone contacts us reference hunting deer, we advise them they need to secure permission from the landowner and cannot discharge a firearm inside the city limits."
In Kosciusko County, Warsaw residents complained about deer in their backyards, so the city developed an urban deer zone a few years ago. Trained archers now average 50 deer a year, said Jeff Grose, a Warsaw city councilman and Deer Task Force member. With only close shots allowed, there have been no mishaps, Grose said.
Todd Braddock, 27, a Lakeview Middle School social studies teacher, has been one of those archers for the last five years. He and others must use tree stands so arrows aim downward for safety. Braddock, who has taken eight deer since he started, said he hasn't heard anything negative about the program.
"I would say the program has been very successful," he said.
The DNR recognizes Warsaw's efforts in its deer guide by noting that "fewer deer are seen, no damage complaints from property owners have been submitted, and the number of deer/vehicle collisions has dropped dramatically."
But there are signs statewide that some want further reductions in the deer population.
A list of preliminary proposals for 2014 by the Indiana Division of Fish and Wildlife includes the use of guns and bait in urban zones, which would be renamed "reduction zones."
"Use of firearms and bait (note: it currently is illegal to use bait for deer hunting in Indiana) in deer reduction zones would give communities greater flexibility to manage deer-related problems and should improve deer harvest success rates," DNR spokesman Phil Bloom said in an email.

Catholic Charities agency is host site for CAP
Diocesan Catholic Charities is now the host site for the Child Assault Prevention Project (CAP) covering both Morris and Passaic counties. Hope House in Dover, an agency of diocesan Catholic Charities, has hosted Morris County CAP for about a year. This month, Ellen Gallagher was appointed coordinator for Morris and Passaic counties and she will oversee programs for both counties from her office at Hope House. She and her husband Frank live in Vernon with their family.
Recently, a question and answer session with the new CAP coordinator was conducted at Hope House with The Beacon:
Q. What is CAP?
A. CAP is an international child assault prevention program. In New Jersey people knows us as NJCAP. I am the coordinator in Morris and Passaic counties.
Q. Tell us about the program.
A. It is a community project that reaches out to children, parents, school staff, and other adults in a community teaching children to prevent verbal, physical and sexual abuse. It is a three-pronged approach - children, school and community. We need to reach everyone if we want to keep our children safe, strong and free.
Q. How and where is CAP presented?
A. CAP is presented in any school, pre-k through 12th grade that applies for the annual grant. Public and non-public schools are eligible.
Q. Can you be more specific about the children's program?
A. Thoroughly trained and certificated facilitators go into each individual classroom to teach age and developmentally appropriate empowerment strategies for the prevention of abuse. It is a strength based model and the children love it. Their comfort level is high because they are in their own environment and their classroom teacher remains in the room with them.
Q. What are the basic skills taught to the children?
A. They are: self-assertiveness, peer support and tell a trusted adult. We work through guided discussion, fun activities and role-playing.
Q. How do you engage the adults in the community?
A. We engage teachers, staff, bus drivers and everyone in the school environment through a workshop in their setting. This makes them prevention/protection partners. Parents and every other adult in the district are invited to attend presentation training about child abuse that is designed to make them protective partners as well. One thing we do is to give them the facts about child abuse and dispel the myths. An example of a myth would be that "most abusers are strangers." In fact, the family and or the child know more than 80 percent of all child abusers.
Q. What types of child abuse are we talking about?
A. CAP teaches about an array of abusive behaviors such as sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse and neglect. All these forms of abuse hurt children.
Q. We hear a lot about "bullying" in the media today; does the program touch on this subject?
A. Bullying is a multi-faceted situation. We talk about bullying in the first role-playing with children. It is a problem that faces children and adults. All of us can relate to bullying, intimidation and harassment. We make it clear that everyone deserves respect.
Q. What about the reality of a stranger approaching a child?
A. Although the statistics on stranger abuse are lower, it is still a serious threat to children and a concern for parents. We teach stranger safety through empowerment not fear. Our role-playing involves a child avoiding danger and how a child gets away. We teach them to protect themselves and their personal information.
Q. If 80 percent of all child abuse is perpetrated by a familiar adult, how can we teach children to protect themselves?
A. We teach children that they are empowered to say 'no" even to an important adult in their lives. We teach them to get away from uncomfortable situations, before being harmed. We teach them that if they encounter an uncomfortable invitation or actual activity that abuse is never their fault. Equally important we teach them to tell a trusted adult and if the first person doesn't help you to keep telling until someone does something - until someone listens, believes and acts.
Q. Is CAP training a "one-shot deal?"
A. No. Besides the initial workshops and activities, school staffs, parents, and children receive follow-up information that re-enforces the training. In addition we offer follow-up programs. CAP is also the only program that allows the children to visit one-on-one with the facilitator (in a school setting) should they wish to do so after the presentation.
Q. Nationally, how many children are sexually assaulted?
A. One out of every 4 girls and 5 to 7 boys are sexually assaulted by the age of 18. Adult education is so important because currently 50-80 percent of all sexual abuse goes unreported. If an adult is trained to recognize the signs of abuse and risk situations, then hopefully we can impact those statistics.
Q. How can we help CAP bring this important message to all the schools and communities in Morris and Passaic counties?
A. There are two ways people can help. First, we need caring facilitators. We will train individuals who are interested in this fulfilling part-time job on Aug. 14, 15 and 16. Several people were trained locally last year but we need more facilitators. Please call me if you are interested at (973) 827-3082 or (973) 361-5555. This is a great way to make a difference and strengthen families. Secondly, ask your principal or your superintendent if CAP has been presented in your local public, Catholic, or other non-public school. Funding is available. Reach out to parents and pastors because this program benefits everyone in the community. Be assertive and proactive. Your encouragement and involvement may be the determining factor. Join us in building a better society by strengthening families and children to become safe, strong and free.
Reaction to CAP programs from around the diocese is very positive
Here's a sampling of reaction from around the diocese on CAP being hosted by Hope House in Dover:
Sister Dorothy Banashak, assistant superintendent of schools for secondary education and government programs and diocesan CAP coordinator:
"The CAP program certainly enhances our belief statement for the protection of children and we encourage all of our Catholic elementary schools to have the CAP program and then to move on to the CAP anti-bullying program."
Patricia Crimaldi, area supervisor for NJCAP:
"Hope House became the Morris County Host Agency for N.J. Child Assault Prevention (NJCAP) on July 1, 2006. We have been so pleased with the relationship that has developed that we have asked Hope House to take on an additional county - Passaic. Now Hope House will host both Morris and Passaic CAP projects which will allow us to continue to make our philosophy that all children have the right to be 'safe, strong and free' even more visible in the community."
Diane Silbernagel, executive director of Hope House:
"We are thrilled to be able to host the CAP program for a couple of reasons. CAP is consistent with what we are doing in strengthening families. We also do a parenting program here at Hope House. As an organization we are committed to primary prevention. CAP compliments our community services."
Kim Chorba, CAP facilitator and parishioner at Holy Spirit in Pequannock:
"My experience as a CAP facilitator is some of the most rewarding work that I have ever done. The children absolutely love it. The men and women who facilitate CAP are really protecting God's children. They are guardian angels here on earth."

Here's an idea to improve newspaper copy: At the beginning of their print careers, journalists get 10 index cards apiece. On each card is written the word "special."
Every time a journalist uses a "special" in print, he or she has to spend a card. Once all the cards are gone, that's it. No more, ever.
"Special" is not a bad word, not like the f-bomb or a slur on someone's ethnicity.
But it is a freeloader, lumpen and slothful. It parks itself on a sentence's couch, eats all the Cheetos and does no meaningful work.
Of course there's no AP rule that says: Special (adj.) Do not use.
The word must be tolerated in proper nouns (Special K), in idiomatic phrases (special education, special prosecutor), and in direct quotes. It can be used humorously, too—though I'd count humorous uses against each journalist's allotted 10.
In most other cases, "special" needs some tough love.
Take the church notes, a list we run each Saturday of coming worship events.
When it's my turn to copy edit these, I do a computer search for "special" and then spend a few empowering moments hitting delete.
For example:
"Special music will be performed by the Happy Christian Gospel Quartet."
"The Rev. Mary Calvary will bring the special morning message."
"The sermon will be followed by a special breakfast prepared by the youth group."
Presumably the music, the message and the breakfast are "special" because of who's providing them. We're saying who. So "special" is redundant. Delete. Delete. Delete.
"Special" pops up in stories, too—often when reporters are trying to sound enthusiastic about something they don't find all that interesting.
The organization is "holding a special exhibit and silent auction." What kind of exhibit? A special one. Ooh.
The volunteers will end their day with "a special dinner and recognition ceremony." Why does this make me think of cat food? Maybe because I remember this commercial from the 1970s: Yum.
The children's choir didn't win first place but "received a special commendation." No ordinary commendation for these kids.
Maybe I am a grump. I'm pretty sure I am a grump.
But I say if that's the best adjective a writer can come up with, the thing being described as "special" probably isn't.
