LOWELL, VT - This Saturday, Sept. 15, participating motorcyclists will leave from Cajun's snack bar in Lowell at 11 AM for a 60-mile tour of the Lowell, Montgomery area of Northern Vermont. The motorcycle ride-in is to raise funds for two non-profit organizations, Project Cuddle and the Rocking Horse Program, for the betterment of families. Road Captains Dana Lesperance, Rich Lawrence and Benoit Guay will get us safely through our travels.
(Editor's note: Last week, filmmaker and arts impresario Jay Craven began telling his story of the day and night he spent trying to get Chuck Berry to honor his contract and perform in the Northeast Kingdom. He continues his story this week, picking up with his breakthrough, wheedling Berry's home phone number from his agent at the William Morris Agency, who had called the day before the scheduled Lyndonville show to announce that Berry would not attend.)
NEWPORT CITY – The city council granted permission for the Green Mountain Farm to School Program to sell vegetables out of a 31-foot van at the Northeast Kingdom Community Action building. The program received a farmer's market promotion grant through the United States Department of Agriculture to bring more fresh food into the "food desert" of the Northeast Kingdom. Â
NEWPORT–Despite getting twelve shots on net, and a flurry of activity late, North Country's boys soccer team could not quite complete the comeback, falling to the Spaulding Crimson Tide 4-2 on Wednesday evening.
For the Falcons the problem seems to be that of consistency.
They look great for small stretches of time, ten minutes here, five minutes there, but they have been unable to put together the continuous amount of pressure needed to win games in the Metro division.
This lack of on-field continuity has assistant coach Tim Stanley trying to find the solution that best fits his team.
NEWPORT–The Newport Rec. Department hosted the NFL's annual Punt, Pass & Kick competition at Prouty beach earlier this week.
The kids, ages 10-15, tested their skills in the three categories, and the winner gets a chance to move and possibly compete at the regionals in Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots.
Last year Tori Kinney made it all the to the Pat's home where she placed third in New England.
"It was very cool. I have loved the Pats since I was four years old," said Kinney.
Here are the results from the competition:
ORLEANS–Anthony Wright tallied twice, and Lake Region rolled to a 5-2 victory over Lyndon Institute Wednesday night.
The Rangers (3-1) had their biggest outburst of the season, knocking in a trio of goals in the first 15 minutes of play against the now Division I Vikings.
Junior Clint Provoncha (one assist) and senior Shaquille Urie (two assists) each had a goal, while junior Josh Tibault found the net on a helper from Carl Oberg.
"It wasn't the best played match by us," said head coach Tom Evans. "I'm happy, of course, with the result, but not with our caliber of play."
NEWPORT CITY - After a more than three-hour sentencing hearing Wednesday, Judge Howard VanBenthuysen handed Cristopher Smith, 27, a three-five year suspended sentence except for 437 days to serve with credit for time served, on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He has been in jail since Aug. 11, 2011.
JAY - Jay Peak Resort has always been a popular spot for weddings, but now with all the new facilities and amenities, that popularity has exploded. The resort has unveiled plans to build a wedding and special events facility.
The Jay Planning Commission and Zoning Board held a hearing on the proposal Monday evening. The board unanimously approved the plans, but the approval is contingent upon the Jay Fire Department being comfortable with the plans.
CHARLESTON, VT – Six years after being diagnosed with a rare muscle disease called Dermatomyositis, Mariah Bowman recently underwent surgery to replace her liver, pancreas, intestines and abdominal muscles.
Bowman began to show symptoms of the disease at the age of 11, while a student at Charleston Elementary School.
In spite of the fact that Bowman is home schooled and has been staying in Indianapolis with her mother while she undergoes treatment, former counselor and now principal at the school Sharon Gonyaw has worked with others in the community to raise funds for Bowman.

Pies for Pleasant Hill
PLEASANT HILL, Ore. - Colton Hazel knows a lot about pie. He's been making them with his grandmother, Carolyn Barr, since around the age of 5. Now he's using his skills in the kitchen to help out the community.
Hazel says that the new track and field at Pleasant Hill High School, where he plays football, came at a hefty cost. Somewhere around 1.4 million dollars. However, he adds that it was a much needed improvement, and the solution to paying it off is simple.
"We just have to keep working until we get it finally paid off," explains Hazel.
While the actions of this 12-year-old are undoubtedly the kind that would make a grandmother proud, Barr also feels he is a good example of the Pleasant Hill community as a whole.
"Pleasant Hill is a very giving community," says Barr, "They do a lot for each other and their spirits are really great, and I just think it is really wonderful for him to get involved."
Hazel tells KVAL that all the funds raised during the month of September will be matched by an anonymous donor. If you would like to help you can get in touch the Pleasant Hill Booster Club.

Coast Guard searches for missing barge worker in Port Canaveral
Coast Guard officials are searching for a missing barge worker off of the coast of Port Canaveral on Friday morning.
Coast Guard officials said a barge was 30 to 40 feet from shore when workers noticed a coworker was missing as they were coming into the Canaveral Barge Canal in Merritt Island at 9 a.m.
They reported the missing worker, described as an adult male wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans with no life jacket, and the search is ongoing.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and loved ones of the missing man during this incredibly challenging time," said Lt. David Kelley, command duty officer in the Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville command center.
Coast Guard Port Canaveral, Coast Guard Clearwater, Brevard County Sheriff's Office and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are searching for the worker.

If the end game was to create a specific website that shines light on Rhode Island high school athletics, then Tommy D'Angelo succeeded.
Wish to know which school has captured the most championships in R.I. Interscholastic League history? D'Angelo's vision and ultimate creation – www.rihssports.com [3] – contains the answer along with the exact amount. The tally extends to every school that's ever won a title.
What allows www.rihssports.com [3] to truly stand out is that it's a portal to present times and yesteryear, a digital encyclopedia that concentrates in standings, postseason results and championship history. Each and every sport, both boys and girls, features this cornucopia of all-inclusive knowledge thanks to the uncanny efforts of one person – the aforementioned D'Angelo.
Now 10 years strong – www.rihssports.com [3] was officially launched on March 16, 2002 – D'Angelo can look back with reverence and say that all those day-after-Thanksgiving treks to the Providence Public Library to look at microfilm, along with his meticulous note-taking knack, has paid off tremendously.
The website has become a vital resource for fans and journalists alike. In the eyes of the originator, that's all that matters.
"I would call it a hobby that's taken up a lot of my time, but at the end of the day it's something I have a passion for," explained D'Angelo.
That passion D'Angelo touched upon was unofficially tapped in the early 90s, when as a "big sports guy" he "started hand recording games at the professional and college level – basically anything I could get my hands on." By 1994, he branched out to include select high school sports – baseball, boys' basketball and hockey.
"Some scores and stats are easier to find than others," notes D'Angelo, a graduate of Cranston West and Rhode Island College and current resident of Smithfield.
As he continued to keep track of the present, D'Angelo thought long and hard about expanding the project and including past results. One day, the true impetus for his leave-no-stone-unturned mantra arrived in the mail.
"What got me kick-started with the historical research was that the RIIL sent me a handbook with a list of champions through the years, and I had noticed a lot of inconsistencies and gaps," noted D'Angelo.
Seeking to plug the missing holes signaled the commencement of the second wave of information gathering. D'Angelo got to know the inside of the Providence Public Library quite well, sitting at the microfilm station with a notepad for hours at a time. Soon, this super sleuth collected enough data that it was time to up the ante and go all in with the website idea that culminated in becoming his true calling.
When www.rihssports.com [3] hit the Internet in March 2002, the site included standings going back as far as 1994. In no time, those hard-to-find recordings from earlier times were incorporated.
"With me being a fan and seeing that there was no place to get historical content, I wanted to get something out there," was the mantra D'Angelo swore by as he sought to take people places that had long been forgotten.
His own tireless labor opened the door for fans and coaches alike to e-mail information to firstname.lastname@example.com [4], a clear indication that his efforts were not going unnoticed.
"As fans notice stuff and they contribute, I just try to fill in those gaps specifically as best I can," said D'Angelo, who pays tribute to the correspondents with a name credit that appears on the bottom of the page of the appropriate sport. "It's good to make those connections."
The research/outside contributions have paved the way for D'Angelo to travel back a lifetime ago in some sports and unearth data that can't be found any place else. For example, every state championship in boys' hockey beginning with the 1932-33 season is denoted. Another nice feature that's worth scrolling up and down a few times is the section devoted to Thanksgiving football matchups, both present and past.
"I want people to have a location to go and get the information," said D'Angelo. "I knew it would take a lot of work, but I wanted to branch out and do my own thing."
In terms of presentation, www.rihssports.com [3] features no images or graphics, just straight-the-point concise data. Click on the homepage to find two color-coated columns, with boys sports listed on the left and girls' sports on the right. An additional click on the corresponding sport summons a page that can pull you in all sorts of directions that are easy to navigate.
"It cuts right to the heart of the matter," said D'Angelo about the website's simplistic approach. "It wasn't about the bells and whistles."
D'Angelo's work is not affiliated with the Interscholastic League, which is spelled out in a disclaimer that appears on the homepage. The real nuts-and-bolts work comes when updating the current standings. Deep down, he knows that all the late nights are worth his time.
"When I first started, I thought I would do this forever. I just assumed that I would have the passion for it," D'Angelo said. "It's a joy to follow the postseason and championships, but the past couple of years, I've thought about what I'd like to do long term as far as keeping up with the day-to-day standings.
"If it's something I can't continue, I'll probably have to handoff the site," he added. "I would hate to lose the site or have it go offline."
Ten-plus years later, www.rihssports.com [3] is still going strong. D'Angelo noted that close to 5,000 hits clicked on the site in a week's time recently, such a high volume providing him with a true sense of accomplishment. The feedback he's received via the survey he recently set up has been overwhelming positive, further illustrating that D'Angelo succeeded in carving out a noteworthy niche.
In other words, it's a website definitely worth exploring.

Have you ever nursed a drink? That's what I did the entire evening while I was at THE ORIGINAL DRINK & DRAW in Los Angeles this past Thursday night. But instead of a drink, I nursed this drawing.
I mean, I could've probably finished this mess within the first hour, but with good conversation (thank you, DAVE JOHNSON, DAN PANOSIAN and CASSANDRA POULSON - you guys are a riot), some decent food, and new people coming in and out - it was all I could do to stay focused in order to stay concentrated long enough to put the final touches. So, instead... it took 5 hours.
Yes, I know - I should be ashamed. Have a great weekend, all.

As a consequence, db mortgages has improved its oversight of mortgage servicing activities.

Comments about Recording King Dirty Thirties Dreadnought Solid Top:
the guitar came and was set up good,as far as intonation,and string hieght they were nice didnt have to adjust at all,the frets on the guitar are very rough on the edje's,thay caused a blister in no time playing,iv'e been playing a long time and wanted a guitar that i could take out to campfires and cookouts.you have to know that the price is right on this guitar,but plan on doing some fret dressing for sure,the neck is a bit larger than i like,i find myself having to adjust my hand around it to play,wich to me is strange because i own and play many brands and never had to do this before,the guitar is the worst for staying in tune,its a constant battle to keep it tuned while playing,2 differant brands of strings so far thinking they may be the problem,but i use them on my others and never had this problem,so i have to believe its the tuners,as for sound i wont comment on this because i own and play a rainsong and to me there is no comparison and should not be compared to a 2000$ guitar
Best Uses
Comments about Recording King Dirty Thirties Dreadnought Solid Top:
I wasn't expecting much and this review is based on what it cost. It was on sale (price match) at the time.
I would only recommend this guitar for a beginner. And even then I would hesitate. I compared it to one of my Epiphones that sold for the exact same price. The Epiphone EJ200 Artist beat the Recording King hands down.
The Recording King had a few high frets that caused fret buzz (which will be remedied). Plus like most cheap guitars the frets needed polishing. My fret erasers came in handy for that. It's a simple job that any novice could do and makes all the difference in the world.
It came with a few finish scratches. With the thin cardboard box RK sends them in, it's no wonder.
It's the lightest weight guitar I've owned. A supposed "solid" wood top (very thin) will hopefully sound better with time.
The tuners are so-so. The Epiphone I compared it to won hands down on that. Plus there were at least two loose tuner bushings(push-in type).
The sound was just "okay". Again a bit thin sounding. Though it had decent projection.
If no other problems come up within MF return period, I'm planning on keeping it.
If the guitar were more expensive and came with all these problems it would no doubt be sent back. But it's relatively cheap - especially on sale. Which is the only way to buy it.

Comments about Recording King Dirty Thirties Dreadnought Solid Top:
the band i perform with was impressed with this guitar at practice but i thought id put it thru an acid test at an outdoor gig since i purchased it for times when i didnt want to take my highend guitars out in adverse conditions...two 45 minutes sets in 45 to 50 degree temps and besides having to tune at a capo shift she held up great...nice retro sound..freinds liked the finish on it..i was just going to keep it in a soft gig bag but am now ordering a hardcase ..its a great great buy for an extra guitar and im really impressed by the quality

Being internet writers, the concept of cats as muses is pretty much par for the course. But these days we're in excellent company, now that Karl Lagerfeld has reportedly designed an entire collection inspired by the ice-blue eyes of his kitten Choupette (or should we say 'Pette?)
Vanity Fair spoke with the Kaiser's neighbor at her latest film screening….you may have heard of her? Her name is Diane Kruger. In any case, Ms. Kruger has had the rare fortune of meeting the famed kitten:
"[Karl's] obsessed! An entire collection was inspired by his cat's eyes."
Okay, seriously?! We've been hoarding our pennies ever since news broke that there was a 'Choupette' bag in the works. Now apparently we have to save for an entire collection.
VF did their best to dig a little deeper into the kitten's psyche, but Kruger wouldn't bite:
Is Choupette, you know, playful and friendly? Did she roll over for a belly rub, or is she fiercely aloof, secure in her superiority over the rest of us? "It's a cat," Kruger said with a shrug. "It's a cat."
A cat with two maids, iPad skills, a V spread in the works, and nearly 10,000 Twitter followers. Well, at least she seems to be up to the very demanding schedule required of a Lagerfeld muse.

I'm looking for a new jump rope. Someone yesterday suggested the Again Faster Revolution. What do you guys think of that rope? Has anyone ordered a custom rope from Rogue by any chance? I really need a new rope. I have the ultra speed rope, and I hate it. I can't seem to get double unders with it for some reason while I could no problem with my old cheaper rope.
#3 then stick with your old rope... great poster!
i have the rogue rope, its badass....tomorrow starts day 1 of the sectionals ;-)) hell yeaaaa
the halo jumper looks freakin sick. how high do you have to be before you have to use a mask like that? insane.
badass picture from the ARV...that place sucks. stay safe out there boys.
A little confused by that Forbes article. Is he calling for the government to not intervene in technological development? Or information and communications technology development? Or ICT regulation? Or simply and specifically the prevalence of broadband? These seem to be unique issues and I'm not sure he's distinguishing between them enough with his word choice.
Great poster! Love it, and love the Mendelssohn piece. Have a great day everybody.
"Worldwide" collage seems a bit off, more like middle east collage. forgetting the rest of us that are deployed to other locations :)
That's a great write up by Forbes, though I doubt it will convince any of the bigger-better-government crowd. It's like red meat to us free market crocodiles.
The thing that sticks with me most of all ofter five or more years trying to puzzle out compelling cases for free market is how emotionally invested the statists are in the illusion of government control, and how they compartmentalize the fact that any government undertaking is by definition coercive and therefore reduces liberty. The statists won the debate years ago by making the focus on whether or not it would be right for the govt to do one thing or another, rather than whether a govt CAN do such a thing - and without regard for the fact that once a govt embarks on some do good thing, it can rarely be stuffed back into the bottle to its former limits. Freedom once enveloped by govt is near impossible to regain.
Considering the Greeks a couple years back, it struck how alike are Hayek's "The Fatal Conceit" and all those Greek tragedies centered on the concept of hubris - the folly of men attempting to do those things which only the gods can be responsible for. The same lesson is hanging right over our heads, just as was over the birthplace of what we think of as liberty.
Whatever the govt does with the bandwidth in question, the odds of long term success are right there with the odds they'll figure out how to make Amtrack a break even proposition; not because they are bad, but because they are men wishing they were gods.
Can I start hitting refresh on the Games site yet?!!!

I have Mallet Finger! 6-8 weeks with only one fully functioning hand.
I'm sure I read somewhere in the Journal that if you continue to exercise the other side of your body, this can decrease the atrophy in the injured side.
Any ideas for WODs without the left hand?!
JK: Run, bicycle, boxjumps, squats, backsquat, frontsquats (arms crossed), GHD sit ups, one arm-KB exercises. If you can't grip with your left hand simply place the palm of the hand on push up-bars or some kind of rack and then do PU's or dips. Or become the champion of your neighborhoods in one arm-pullups.
See those weeks as time to improve e.g your short distance running or heavy BS. Turn the injury to an opportunity. Hopefully you'll have time with your lefty for a long time ahead.
Those combinations should keep you busy for 6-8 weeks. Good luck!
You seem to hate the state monopoly on wireless services.
What about the state monopoly on military and police? How are those any better?
Bunch of badass guys and girls in that poster. Thanks!

Need some advice:
I was attempting to do king kong this past Sunday and I didnt make it out of the first rd. I failed the first rep of squat cleans at 250#. I'm not exactly sure what happened but when I got
Off the ground I was blinded by pain in my rt hand. It immediately swelled to the size of a softball. I was at the fire station so they took me to the er on the firetruck. I was x-rayed at the er and they were negative. I am scheduled
For a follow up with a plastic surgeon this afternoon. My concern is that the metatarsals are extremely sensitive to touch and my hand is still very swollen. I have had a boxers fracture on the same hand before and the symptoms are identical. Can anyone tell me if I should ask for another x ray ? Are hand fractures sometimes difficult to identify on early x ray pictures? Thanks
Awesome picture! That Concept II in the picture is going to need some serious maintenance!
I meant metacarpals. But that would be an interesting combination!
Comment #11 Apolloswabbie, I concur completely,well said.
Awesome pic! thx for the service from a former Marine. Keep charging hard.
Battle Los Angeles is a kick ass movie... but what better is todays journal vid!
SO cool Sevan! Thx man. And Coach you rock and you know it! We all owe you for this thing called CrossFIT!
My baby Tristan is doing pulls, pushes and squats everyday :)
@Chris #4
I use the again faster rev rope. I LOVE this rope! It is durable, quick, and light which makes it fairly easy to do double unders. In fact, I was not able to do a double under at all until I got this rope. Now I can pretty easily string together double unders mixed with single unders (I have yet to master continuous DUs). The only downside to the rev rope is that there are no instructions detailing how to properly cut it. Just be careful not to cut it too short and you should be able to get your first DU in no time!
Skiing with the Chans. I can't wait.
Apolloswabbie tosses a blast from the Rest Day past, a well-considered thoughtful post delivered without rancor or ad hominem. Cheers to you, Sir!

Rob Powell currently holds the Guinness Book of World Records position as the "Fittest Man Alive."
His website can be found here:
His feats are pretty amazing and you can read about them on his site. Maybe Coach Glassman can contact him and invite him to the 2011 Games and see how well he stacks up against the rest of the crew. It would be great to get somebody like this involved. So if anybody reading this comment can get this information to somebody who can actually do something with it (e.g. Glassman & Co.), that would be grand.

Davidr, congrats!
Also, L-pullups on an MQ-9? GET SOME!
Anyone know who tool the center photo? Looks amazing and want to track it down in better resolution.
very disappointed to find the games site offline.
Last time I checked they Xfit specialized in creating elite athletes, not technology. Get over it. You go to burpees, whiner.
The Games site did not crash because of excess traffic. There are some last minute bug fixes getting addressed before we launch the competition. It's going to be epic, but it's going to be a little delayed.
games site down. Couldn't see that one coming at all.
"Waa waa waa, the world owes me something."
Get over it.
Technical glitch just before a big launch, happens all the time. Let them focus on a solution. Waiting an extra couple of hours for a workout to be posted isn't going to kill you.
I'm patient and confident that HQ has got our backs. Epic indeed Mr. Budding, in the words of NY Jets LB Bart Scott, "CAN'T WAIT!"
Ref #48, unhappy user
I don't see how the games site going down is a failure of the marketing plan? If HQ hadn't informed us that it wasn't an overload issue, I could see this being a sign of them being more sucessful than planned, so not a failure of the plan, but an underestimation of success. This is a technical issue that won't be helped by whining. Stuff happens, especially around the end of a work shift.
Zuckerberg "The servers can NEVER go down!"
Give HQ a break all ready. CROSSFIT obv hasn't forged you whiners mental toughness.....
Who was going to do the WOD tonight anyway? Most likely we are all going to sleep on it and hit it fresh tomorrow or closer to the weekend at an affiliate...
But the comment about Zuckerberg is a good comment, I bet if HQ posted the WOD on a Facebook page that we would all have it memorized by now....
How many of you Googled "Resco watches" after that video?
Why don't you just post the WoD on the mainsite since it is up? Or send it via e-mail? Some of us HAVE to do it tonight...
I HAVE to do it tonight too! I have 45 minutes then I leave for South America for a week with no affiliate in site!
How many comments were deleted from this thread? i was reading through them and referenced names and numbers dont match. I kinda wanted to see what the people said haha
re: brian G , this is the reason you HAVE a launch date and time, as hq needs to understand there is life outside of crossfit, i know it's hard to conceive the notion. we had a few people from our affiliate leaving for a vacation tomorrow morning, and they too may not have an opportunity to do the WOD. I understand mechanical failures, but in the techno-world we currently exist in along with the social networking sites available, this should not happen. i don't have a doubt it will be a challenge, "epic" is a stretch, but have some consideration and respect for the time of those that have lined your silk pockets and filled that bank account.
The Forbes piece seems to indicate that the existing broadcasters will be compensated for sacrificing the unused portion of the spectrum, but on what basis? It seems like the existing broadcasters would only have rights in the spectrum they use. It shouldn't bother them if unused spectrum is taken away, it just closes off the market from any competition coming along. Do we really want to ossify the existing broadcasters and foreclose any new voices from coming along?
As today's WOD is overdue, looks very much as though the first Open WOD is also today's mainsite WOD.
Good way to get people trying it out.
Maybe some of them will decide to enter if their numbers look competitive.
Good luck sorting things out Brian and Bill.
#57 concerns and thoughts sounds like a loose term for bitching and moaning.
First according to some, CF sold out to Reebok
Then lives were destroyed because of no sectional events
Now, most likely the same crowd is upset with a delay for competition they have problems with in the first place.
The thrill will be just as great when the WOD is revealed better late than never
Wait until the WOD is announced, that's when the real whining will start :)
hahaha so true, I feel for that guy going to South America but if there is a will there is a way and if CF has taught any of us anything, it would be willpower
Hey Buster comment #28- you're a shoe in for the games if that's true.
Thanks for understanding, this is truly frustrating.
Dan Goldberg,
I have the will, and I'm not counting myself out just yet, even though the odds are terribly stacked against me.
My ride to the airport will be here in 30 minutes...enough time for a drive back to the affiliate, get a WOD in, drive back and shower???
24 / M / 5'9" / 135lbs
For time:
Run 1 mile
100 Sit-ups
100 Back extensions
Run 1 mile
Ug, my back was so tight I could hardly move during the second run.
I somehow hurt my wrist and shoulder the other day (perhaps during the pull-up ladder), so this was a good WOD to allow my injured bits some rest.
Let the games begin!!!
ok now. how about now. ok now. lol
Good luck Tony and crew in getting this back on line.
I cant keep pressing refresh so it is off to sleep in Montreal for me.
Did Helen instead for todays wod, time was too crappy too post, had to run through the ice and snow to reach the pull up bar . slowed me down big time
HaHa I thought the same thing about #28 earlier today but didn't say anything. About the site, sorry people these things happen even to the best. If things needed to be fixed before the launch I am sure it was so that you "perfect" people would whine less than if it was up with bugs.
Love the poster full of pics, and think it's a perfect way to start off the CF Open! Thank you all, active duty military, reservists, guardsmen, and veterans for your service!!
I work for the VA and have the pleasure of working with all these guys and girls everyday!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!! Keep on CF'ing troops!
The comments on here are laughable. God the world is full of moronic people.
You have a week to do the workout and you are complaining about it being a couple of hours late!
It takes your breath away.
3-2-1... wait!
Run 10k
haven't seen that in a loooong while.
The Games website is up... where is the WOD?
Sweet poster! I didn't check the site and didn't realize it was a rest day? Good thing. I did the same. My forearms were killing me after a 3 hour afternoon nap. The pain is related to my elbow problem I almost sure of it. It's wierd though, it comes and goes through out the day. It will hurt, then go away when I work out, then hurt again after. So I'm going to take the therapist advice and lighten the weight up and work more reps. Sounds like I need to let my grip strength catch up with everything else. Peace!
Just can't beleive the comments bad mouthing CFHQ ! All these years of CrossFit putting it out there for free for the most part, and some glich may or may not have occured , and there is this sense that HQ needs to be held accountable for peoples vactions and schedules??? That is absurd!!. You got to know Coach and the staff always give their best.
Show some respect to those that gave us the gift of CrossFit
# 22 Great Comment
where is tomorrow work out at
#79 Jenny
'because some of us don't want to be fools thinking that tomorrow is your bday when it is not'
Honestly Jenny, how old are you? Birthdays?? What on earth are you talking about?
We are talking about a workout that goes for a week, it's a few hours late. Get a grip.
Is anyone here aware of CF affiliates or individual CF'ers involved with Japanese relief efforts? Can we assist in any way?
For you myopic snotbubbling ingrates concerned about a few less hours to complete a WOD, or possibly not complete it at all, here is some perspective for you. People in Japan may die tonight for lack of food, water and living in their own excrement. Is that Paleo or Zone enough for you. Think "outside the box."
Worst case scenario given HQ was a bit slow with the site, if the WOD is Fran, take your time completing it. Turn in a sub-5 instead of a sub-4!
Listen people, its the principle of the thing. If you say something is going to be posted at a certain time, do it. If it was actually a site crash I could understand that more than "fixing last minute bugs" on a website that has been up and running for a week now.
Its like in college when a teacher gives you a time that grades are going to be posted and it doesn't happen. Is it the end of the world, No. But to some people it does throw off their schedule, if they have circumstances beyond their control and have planned to do the workout tonight.
The main problem I see is that HQ could easily have posted the WOD on the main site or on their facebook page, heck why not both. As great as the money is for the athletes and the sport, it seems as though somebody else is pulling the strings now.
#84 no need to call everyone snotbubbling ingrates, I think everyone's passion for crossfit is coming out in their posts. But if somebody can explain to me why the workout can't be posted on the main site, I would love to hear it.
Damn, Rick (#84), that was pretty self-righteous. God complex, anyone?
i know crossfit as the community of like minded athletes whom can perform on demand, support each other, breath fire, piss lead and bleed elite. any one see greg amundsons videos on the journal of recent? only thing we should concern our selves with is what we can control/influence. should HQ have had this sorted? yes. but it is not sorted so how we respond is what matters. for me, i wont be letting this incident be the knife in the back for crossfit haters doing things like les mills, spin and juicing up in the mirror or thinking aerobics is a workout. its not the sum of our experiences that matters, but the sum of our reactions, how we bounce back as a community is what will determine our success.
wow, so many trolls on this site everyday, just waiting to pounce at the first sign of fail. go work on your weaknesses, or is that to hard?
If there is no wod, i will get another tribal tattoo. Then eat meat and veggies
20 grumps espousing drivel
100,000 waiting patiently
Guys this (release bugs/delays) happens all the time with huge releases in the video game world. Just be patient... have you ever tracked a package in the mail that says it was supposed to arrive a certain day and you really really needed it that day but it came the day after? Remember how the world didn't end? This is kind of like that. again, just be patient....
The CFE website has a pretty cool looking WOD if this doesn't get resolved. Still hope it gets fixed.
Lots of "keeners" out there which is a good thing -- and we all know if you are really looking forward to something delays are frustrating.
But thousands of Japanese have lost their lives and many more have been devastated by the loss of loved ones and their homes.
Lets keep things in perspective - this is just a few hours of delay.
Wow, or you can just do an affiliate WOD since there are 124435 sites that have WOD's. Crossfitfootball, US Crossfit, SEAL fit, ect. Or just make up your own. There I fixed it.
Okay, like (most) everyone else, I am waiting patiently for the games WOD to be posted.
I suspected something like this would happen, considering the fact that HQ has waited until the last minute to put out the pertinent details. I'm sure they will get it straightened out and take care of any issues. I do have faith in them, but perhaps it was a little too much with too little time.
I just feel a little bad for the poor web guys that are likely sitting at their computers with toothpicks holding their eyelids open as they scan through pages of computer code looking for the problems.
I know one thing, CFHQ is doing an extra WOD tonight (on our rest day) trying to fix this. This is growing pains and nothing more. We want our passion for Crossfit to spread like wildfire, then we have to be tolerant when there is a glich. Trust me I've got one day to do this WOD before I travel out of state to get my level 1 cert, I'm as anxious as all of you. But I think this speaks more to the "ginourmous" numbers of Crossfiters out there passionate and ready for the competition, then it reflects badly on the technical preparation to deal with it.
But I agree with the above posts, post the WOD on the mainsite, fix the issues ASAP after that.
My advice to those bitching about the WOD not being up is to do the "Crossfit Northern Japan" WOD.
1 round for time:
Invent and carry out a WOD that does not rely on the following utilities and services in planning or performing the WOD:
Landline phone
Nuclear power
Post time to comments. Then resume use of the above and be thankful that lack of the Mainsite WOD utility is your most pressing problem.
It's funny to read the posts tonight.
If HQ does not post a WOD you can always:
think of a date in the past and then go to it in the archives and do that WOD.
You could also do Eva or Tommy V, that should cover it.
You could also take the opportunity to go to the Journal and check out the programming articles and make a WOD up for yourself.
You could work on one of your Goats....
You could..... (not be a whiner)
Have Fun, Train Hard,
10 games.crossfit.com refreshes
5 router resets
3 facepalms
AMRAP until the wod shows up
I mean this as a compliment to the people who run crossfit and this site. I WANT MY WOD!
I'm serious but I'm not. I totally understand that technical things happen that are beyond people's control which is probably what happened here. I can't fault anyone seeing as though this site is free and has helped me in so many ways.
What I meant by "I WANT MY WOD" is I now actually look forward to doing a workout, something that was inconceivable when I started a year ago. I'll get up tomorrow excited about finding out what the WOD is.
Thanks crossfit, and thanks to the people who put this site together.
WODs up.
Thank you for keeping it in perspective, #95. Let's all just take a little step back, give a little gratitude for what we are all blessed with and have a little faith that of course this will be all worked out very soon. The best CrossFit minds are working to do doing everything they can to remedy the problem.
"oh no, i HAVE to do the wod NOW",
are you not creative enough to make one up yourself? or even easier, pick one from a previous date?
nah, lets all just cry about it...
I have a feeling crossfit just fired the web design company that came in and sold them on the fact they were the best ones for the job.
There's 5 days to complete this wod. The people that are saying this is their only opportunity, those people would always be there. If crossfit hq said "you have 3 days to complete each wod" people would bitch about not having 4 days, if crossfit hq said "you have 15 days people would be on here saying "but im going on a 15 day vacation, this was my only chance!" If its really that important to you, you will find a way, absolutely.
We are all a crossfit family. So sad to see the family fighting and trashing each other on here. The WOD looks great HQ !!! Looking forward to doing my best!
Ref #46: I have the original but my buddy took it of me. Let me know what email you want it sent to. Ill see if he cares if I start giving it out.

According to websiteoptimization.com and their Broadband Report, the U.S. is twenty-fifth in the world for broadband usage by household. Seems to me a little government intervention might up our numbers a bit.
Comment #94.
Thank you. We said words.
That article is ridiculous.
The government did 'intervene' to propogate land lines in the united states, in fact by the 1950's the government had 'intervened' to build the infrastructure for the entire public switch telephone network that we still use today. Implementations like that are what make america better than other countries. Free market systems are incredibly efficient, they are also rampant and misguided.
You want to save money cut the defense budget. You have these under qualified idiot O-5's authorizing millions of dollars and man hours building bases in Iraq while the installation is closing and moving to kuwait just so they can build a resume. The officer corps in every branch is out of control with incentivized spending.

Nottinghamshire's director of cricket Mick Newell has pulled no punches in a player-by-player assessment of the county's 2011 season for the local press.
Newell had high praise for Andre Adams, Alex Hales, Darren Pattinson and the captain Chris Read in an end-of-term report for the Nottingham Evening Post.
But he was much less complimentary about several others such as Steven Mullaney, Neil Edwards and even Luke Fletcher.
Mullaney failed to build on the promise he had shown in his first season at Trent Bridge after moving south from Lancashire, scraping past 500 runs in the County Championship despite playing in all 16 matches, and taking only five wickets with his medium pace.
"In one-day cricket he has made regular contributions but in four-day cricket he has been very poor and needs to develop both aspects of his game," says Newell's report card. "Picked ahead of Ali Brown, did not chip in the runs we had hoped."
Criticism of Edwards was also unavoidable, after the opener managed 172 runs from 14 innings at an average of 15 – not helped, like so many other Notts openers before him, by having to play on mostly green Trent Bridge pitches. He lost his place to Karl Turner late in the season after the youngster from Durham had shown promise in the second team, and Newell hopes that Turner will agree to stay on for 2012.
However he has not yet given up hope on Edwards. "He has been disappointing this summer, but somebody has to grasp the opening berth alongside Alex Hales and it could be him," Newell says of the former England under-19 left-hander from Cornwall. "Undoubtedly has the talent, but that alone is not enough."
Fletcher would seem to have had a much better year, having taken 36 wickets in 12 Championship appearances and also made a decent contribution to the county's Twenty20 success. "Did well in four-day cricket, stayed fit for the whole season, and contributed in all formats," Newell concedes.
But an iron fist then emerges through the velvet glove, which the burly 23-year-old local lad experienced in May when he was suspended for breaching the club's disciplinary code. "His performances dropped off a little bit as he put some weight on over the summer and he has to keep that down so he bowls as quickly in September as in April."
Newell identifies Harry Gurney, who has followed Stuart Broad's route to Trent Bridge from Leicester, and Andy Carter, if he can avoid further injuries, as key figures for 2012 in a seam attack that will again feature Adams, Pattinson, Fletcher and Paul Franks. He stresses the importance of further development by Jake Ball, Scott Elstone, Sam Wood and Brett Hutton, praises Graeme White for his late-season performances, and suggests that Riki Wessels is likely bat lower down the order in future Championship appearances.
Michael Lumb is likely to be given a run in the number three position behind Hales and either Edwards or Turner after joining from Hampshire, and Newell suggests that the county may look to make a third signing from the domestic market to follow Lumb and Gurney given the ongoing uncertainty over the availability of overseas players such as David Hussey and Adam Voges.
However they will definitely look to give their t20 team a boost from overseas, with the possible absence of Samit Patel on England one-day duty creating a vacancy for a spinning all-rounder.

Biologists analyze living organisms, and they may work in a number of settings. For example, they may work at a university conducting research or they might conduct research to aid with a company's industrial efforts. This work is generally indoors in a laboratory setting, although field work may be required for tasks such as mapping land, gathering samples from the land and water, and assisting with surveying. Travel is sometimes be required to monitor sites away from the office. Research projects and presentations may also require leaving for a week or so at a time.Read More...
These professionals work with fellow researchers in the field and in the office under the supervision of a head biologist. They must be able to communicate well with co-workers and supervisors. Additionally, because they need to write many reports, they must have excellent skills in analyzing and presenting data in a written form. Biologists often work on multiple projects at once, so multitasking capabilities are a must.
Generally, biologists need at least a bachelor's degree in biology or a related field; most biologist positons require post-baccalaureate education (such as a master's or doctoral degree) as well. These professionals must have excellent attention to detail in charting their data and experimental design. This includes having excellent note-taking and data-logging abilities, generally including basic computer skills to log data.

Of Course the Lakers Won – Grandma Was Mistaken
I don't watch sports. My husband is obsessed with hockey, basketball, football… you name it, he watches it. Personally, I couldn't care less. I'll watch a Lakers game here and there, but I don't know what "finals" are. I can make an educated guess that they are the FINAL games of the season. Usually, that means my mother-in-law comes over and her and my husband argue over sushi about whatever teams they are rooting for that night as I sit and stare blankly at the TV screen while scrolling through Perez Hilton on my computer.
"Kobe is a Pig," I overheard my mother-in-law as say as I soon as I was walked into the house.
"No!" Sunny cried hysterically. "He is not a pig I love him and I love the Lakers!"
If we're going to be honest, Sunny has probably seen two Lakers games in her life and has no idea what Kobe Bryant looks like. She just hears Daddy yelling "Go Kobe!" and she gets to stay up way later than her bedtime when her dad lets her watch the games with him.
"Sunny, listen to me. The Lakers lost last week – that's why we're rooting for Oklahoma City against Miami tonight."
"Well then, I'm rooting for Miami because I think YOUR favorite player is a pig," Sunny replied.
"Sunny," I interjected, "we don't say those kinds of things or use that type of language." I looked at my mother-in-law. "What's going on, guys?"
Apparently Sunny and my mother-in-law were having an intense argument over the fact that Sunny was rooting for Miami during the NBA finals just to spite her grandma for calling Kobe a pig.
My mother-in-law just kept saying, "But the Lakers lost last week!" and Sunny kept repeating over and over again in a very calm tone, "Maybe in your head they lost, but in my mind, they totally won."
My mother-in-law left during half time because Sunny was over-enthusiastically rooting for Miami while jumping up and down on our couch.
A few days later, Sunny asked to call her grandma. I thought,"How sweet, she wants to say hi." We call and the first words out of her mouth were, "Hi. Oklahoma lost and the Lakers won."
Gotta love that girl.

Stephen Talbot talks about the TV news biz
I know, you might be thinking, who is Stephen Talbot and why should I care what he thinks of the TV news biz? Well, Talbot is a producer and writer for PBS' Frontline (his new episode, News War, debuted earlier this week), but that's not why I'm posting this. I'll explain that after the jump. In the meantime, go read the chat he has at The Washington Post's site and look at his picture closely. Where have you seen him before?
Talbot has a lot of interesting things to say about the news industry. He likes local news, but doesn't like it when they focus on just local stories, fears that people will just wake up one day and wonder why the only news they get is stuff about Anna Nicole and Britney, and he explains why Connie Chung gave up her great reporting career to do...well, whatever the hell she's doing now.
Oh, where have you seen him before?
Talbot played Beaver's friend Gilbert on Leave It To Beaver! That's him on the left, with Jerry Mathers and Stanley Fafara, who passed away in 2003.

Looks like television producers are finally figuring out what videogame companies have known for decades: If you can make something yourself, why buy it from somebody else?
- - -
House of Cards is a 13-episode drama directed by David Fincher and starring Kevin Spacey. Twenty years ago, the star power and high production values would've made Cards a top-tier network show like NYPD Blue. Ten years ago, Cards likely would have landed on premium cable, next to The Sopranos or Six Feet Under.
If you can make something yourself, why buy it from somebody else?
Now, viewers can only watch the riveting polical thriller on Netflix, the video-streaming service that began fifteen years ago as a DVD-delivery operation. Its rampant success ultimately drove video stores like Blockbuster out of business. Their next target? Cable.
Tim Wu over at the New Yorker's Culture Desk blog wrote about the shift as a pivotal moment in televised entertainment:
An Internet firm like Netflix producing first-rate content takes us across a psychological line. If Netflix succeeds as a producer, other companies will follow and start taking market share. Maybe Amazon will go beyond its tentative investments and throw a hundred million at a different A-list series, or maybe Hulu will expand its ambitions for original content, or maybe the next great show will come from someone with a YouTube channel. When that happens, the baton passes, and empire falls—and we will see the first fundamental change in the home-entertainment paradigm in decades
All of which looks a lot like what's happening in the games industry already.
In one way, Netflix offering premium content on their own service resembles the prevalance of first-party software as a driver of consumer enthusiasm and loyalty. Nintendo's games can only be played on Nintendo hardware. Sony has built a legion of studios devoted to publishing exclusively on Sony machines. These exclusives are a large weapon in the battle for player's time and money. By no longer being entirely reliant on other studio's content, Netflix can slowly branch off and gain more independence.
Wu questions who will remain standing in today's "age of too much information, [where] offering more channels has come to feel like more of a bug than a feature."
What the show really does is question the existence of the current king of home entertainment, the cable industry. The cable companies make close to a hundred billion dollars a year off our viewing. But if you don't need cable TV to get good shows when they come out, just what are you paying for?
When big-budget games are available to play in your web browser, possibly for free, many players might ask "Just what am I paying for?"
Exclusivity has always been a weapon for entertainment providers, with cable and then premium channels like HBO and Showtime giving unfettered access to content not found anywhere else. House of Cards is a splash of water in cracked pavement; over time it could freeze, pushing the crack wider, allowing other content in.
Apple's App Store works in a similar fashion by giving small-time developers access to millions of players, where before indie devs would have to go through the costly obstacles of major hardware producers (who also sell their own software). The same walls are falling elsewhere. When big-budget games are available to play in your web browser, possibly for free, many players might ask "Just what am I paying for?" When given the choice between Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo's shiny new box, sold for hundreds of dollars each to play games at 50-60 bucks a pop, what do you think the public will choose?
Netflix's first attempt at original content, Lilyhammer, didn't move the needle as hoped. But Cards is an evolution of the model, simultaneously releasing all thirteen episodes instead of the traditional drip-feed offered by networks. Who has patience to wait a week between episodes anymore? Netflix energized the practice of marathon-watching old shows back-to-back; now they're pushing it as the new normal.
Traditional game publishers are under attack from a similar shift in access. Studios used to building giant worlds for millions of dollars and releasing them every two to three years are under attack by an avalanche of cheap, high-quality releases weekly. Those already struggling to keep up with rising development costs and an impatient and fickle customer base should pay attention. The water is rising, and a coldfront is on the way.

Welcome to Storage Station of Wayne
Storage Station is located at 2354 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ 07470. Our facility is conveniently located South of Terhune Dr. Make a left at the light by the CVS, pass the Dunkin Donuts on the right and we are on the left side of the road just after Commercial Kitchen Cleaning. If you're coming North from Black Oak Ridge Rd., you will pass Wayne Suburu, then STS Auto & Tire Center both on the right side of Hamburg Turnpike. Storage Station is the driveway on the right, directly after passing St. Moritz PL. You can call us on our main telephone number, 862-377-6593or visit us during office hours. Storage Station of Wayne office hours are Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and 10:00 am to 2:00 pm on Saturdays. We are closed on Sundays. As a tenant of the facility, you have access to the belongings you store here 24 hours a day, seven days a week!
Hi, my name is Joel Graves and I am the manager of Storage Station of Wayne. My associate, Jerry Timmons, and I would like to welcome you to visit the facility we take so much pride in. You will be welcomed in our main office with a cup of coffee or a refreshing cup of cold water. There's even a bowl of candy for that sweet tooth craving. The main office is a hub of activity during our business day. We strive in making our work environment open and inviting.
We start our day with a routine inspection of the exterior grounds, making sure everything is in tip top shape and clean. We then do a walk-through of the interior of the building. This is a very important inspection because with the 24 hour access, we need to make sure nobody has left any of their items out of their unit, hindering the hallways of easy access. We bring a broom and dust bucket along to keep our hallways clean of all debris and dust.
The two cargo lifts our tenants use to get their belongings to the climate controlled second floor are inspected as well. The lifts have carts in dollies on them to make handling and transporting boxes and other large items easy. The corridors are kept well lit with lights that are controlled by you, the tenant, with timers conveniently placed throughout the hallway on the walls.
To gain access to the facility during non-office hours, you are given a special pin code, specifically designated to you and your storage unit. The keypad instructions are shown to you after signing your month-to-month lease. Jerry and I are here to walk you through the entire process, as many times you feel necessary. We're here for our tenants and to answer all of their questions.
On my business card, there's a cell phone number specifically listed for 24 hour access to me, as the manager of Storage Station of Wayne, when the main office is closed. This number is used when there is some kind of emergency that needs attending to at the facility during non-office hours. The number is also displayed on the office door if you happen to lose this card.
We sell packing supplies in our main office, such as locks, boxes, bubble wrap, etc. making our main office a one stop shopping center for all of your storage needs. We make it a convenient experience coming to Storage Station of Wayne and serve customers from surrounding communities as well, such as Pompton Lakes, Pompton Plains, Riverdale, Bloomingdale, Wanaque, Butler, Kinnelon and others in central-western Passaic county NJ.
Come and take a tour of the facility and we will ensure that we answer any and all of your self-storage questions. There's no appointment necessary. Moving your belongings is never easy or convenient. Coming to Storage Station of Wayne, we do our best to lighten that burden.

Friday on the Dish, Andrew found more support for the "Obama-as-penny-pincher" theory, dismissed Tim Cavanaugh's ridiculous theory that we've got a stagflation problem, noted the increase in marriage rates after marriage equality was legalized, and pondered "Mr. Half Dollar's" sexism-inspired homophobic fears. We coralled evidence that Obama alone transformed black opinions about marriage equality, heard readers challenge Grennell on the GOP and gays, spotlighted an Orthodox case for marriage equality, bet the campaign wouldn't be as nasty as previously thought, wondered if the Tea Party could drive the Romney train, speculated as to the impact of his candidacy on Mormonism, and gaped at his favorite novel (Battlefield Earth?????). More thoughts came in the supposed "decline of pro-choicers" here and here, liberals and conservatives reacted to the S.E. Cupp affair, talking heads declined, Lanny Davis ruined Washington, and Obama bogarted.
Andrew also committed to Eurobonds as the only way to save the EU and revisited Wodehouse and fascism. We compiled reax to the Egyptian elections, got real about Greece, found competing views of a Grexit's importance, discovered a potential Chinese recession, and looked at examples of rifles destroying society. We further assessed 50 Shades of Grey, profiled a 29-year old virgin Olympian, and kept up discussion on the objectification of men. Organ markets seemed capable of saving lives, the car industry lobbied for jaywalking, and entrepreneurship became a necessity. The biology of drinking altered speech, our knowledge had limits, and a reader really loved plywood. Ask Jim Manzi Anything here, Hathos Alert here, Yglesias Award Nominee here, Quote for the Day here, Tweet of the Day here, VFYW here, MHB here, and FOTD here.
Thursday on the Dish, Andrew rebutted more attempts to pin the spending surge on Obama, credited the President with turning public opinion around on marriage equality, found another conservative thinker who's given up on the GOP, compared the US media to Australia's on Trig, and came around to single payer. We worried deficits would help the GOP, scrutinized Obama's Appalachia problem, found another problem with the Republicans-as-civil-rights-champions argument, labelled Obama the "mobile phone candidate," gaped at Obama's huge lead among Hispanics, spotlighted Romney's education plan, and continued discussion of Mormonism and racism. Frum explained Washington dysfunction, right-wing media exposed little, Giuliani worked with Serbian nationalists, and this interview icked us out. Ad War Update here.
Andrew also commemorated P.G. Wodehouse, put Britain's recession in historical context, and set expectations for Iran negotiations. We reported on the desire for change in Libya, bet the war on terror would look like the drug war, exposed the reality of the latter, and found American clothes in Haiti. Being treated like a woman broke a male celebrity, frozen eggs addressed gender inequalities, and teenage girls had caves. Men moved into traditionally "female" jobs, Facebook's IPO wasn't great but also wasn't all bad, and corporate raiders found a champion. Reader discussion exploded on the parking psychology topic, the ginger prejudice discussion also continued, science made a better ketchup bottle, and a blog changed the world. Ask Tyler Cowen Anything here, Cool Ad here, Moore Award Nominee here, Quotes for the Day here, here, and here, VFYW here, MHB here, and FOTD here.

Wednesday on the Dish, Andrew debunked an ideological broadside against Obama, looked into the implications of Obama's pro-equality stance, labelled Romney "the war candidate," worried about the hierarchy's influence over Catholic voters, theorized about causes behind the decline of "pro-choice" identification, and adjudicated the debate over the partisan history of the civil rights movement in favor of the Democrats. We noticed confidence in the economy go up (it's still low, though), explained Obama's Appalachia problem (don't exclude race), labelled Colorado the "swingiest swing state," noticed the Obama's tricky randomized ad gambit, and aired more thoughts on the politics of Bain. Romney looked like the war candiate to Colin Powell as well, raised our hackles with his odd laugh, and sparked reader debate (here and here) about "the Mormon mask." The big 2012 fiscal policy fight appeared to be the key determinant of future policy success, low reading complexity didn't necessarily make you dumb, Palin got laughed at in Australia, Reagan's blood sold on the market, and the GOP had an absurd idea of compromise. Ad War Updates here and here.
Andrew also looked at the politics and policy of the Afghan withdrawal, critiqued studies claiming to show circumcision reduced the spread of AIDS, and reflected on his lives in Britan and America. Egypt voted, everything was classified, a Spanish vacation would cost you, Piers Morgan taught hacking, and Will.i.am acted chutpah-riffic on climate change. More heartbreaking stories about gay-straight marriages poured in, gay literature saved, and ending prison rape took real moral change. Markets created spaceships, parking lot behavior was justified by etiquette norms, turning left solved corn mazes, and, uh, Sticky Buddy. Ask Steven Pinker Anything here, Quote for the Day here, Creepy Ad here, VFYW here, MHB here, and FOTD here.
Cannonville, Utah, 7.01 pm
Tuesday on the Dish, Andrew blasted the GOP's record on spending as compared to Obama's, worried Romney would be par for the Republican course, linked Mitt's Mormonism to his Ward Cleaver public image, and hit home the stakes in the marriage equality fight. We saw no real impact on the campaign from Obama's marriage equality announcement, evaluated Obama's line on Bain, figured no one was going to remember what we're talking about now in November anyway, explored the Derb and conservative racial panic, kept up the heat on Obama on marijuana, and laughed at the idea that Hillary would replace Biden as veep.
Andrew also judged Leo Strauss a philosophical "mediocrity" (follow-up here), expressed concerns about John Brennan's targeted killing powers, and extolled online courses. An Iran deal inched closer to reality, Egypt moved towards a historic vote, Obama blanked on an important piece of the Israeli-Palestinian puzzle, and global politics doomed the climate. The Ivies looked a lot like the 1% of universities.
Andrew also grieved over Mary Kennedy and her struggle with depression and engaged with the roots of anti-ginger prejudice. We heard a new perspective on the race/sexual orientation conversation and straight dating exposed latent prejudices about sexuality. Lobsters trailblazed on eternal youth, long days made for poor decisions, food ills worsened, and city animals hid. "Broken windows" policing broke lives, innovation didn't live up to expectations, living at home wasn't terrible, and counterfeiting took real skill. Plywood fascinated, Siri raged, and apocalyptic fiction mainstreamed. Ask Jim Manzi Anything here, Yglesias Award Nominee here, VFYW Contest Winner here, VFYW here, MHB here, and FOTD here.
Monday on the Dish, Andrew defended federalism as the best solution to the culture wars, wondered if the health care industry just raised prices because it could, and looked down on the new GOP legislators' English skills. We clarified the debate surrounding Romney's Bain days, worried about President Romney's cabinet, figured the GOP wouldn't cut spending, told Republicans to start paying more attention to Spanish-language media if they wanted to win, decoded polling on whether evangelical anti-Mormonism would hurt Mitt, declared Romneycare a success, watched a hyperbolic climate change denial organization implode, found an absolutely appalling anti-gay outburst, and didn't expect a truly gay president for decades. Ad War Update here.
Andrew also defended non-scientific means of knowing about the world, accepted the Dharun Ravi verdict, confessed his obsession with pageviews, told us about his fascination with a real reality show and Crystal Bowersox, and debunked Jose Rodriguez's narrative of the torture program (follow-up here). We checked in on Egypt's election, were afraid the liberals might have failed, noted an instance of settler violence, spotlighted a sad Palestinian story, tracked some absurd resupply lines in Afghanistan, and theorized that the rise of the BRICs might not be so bad for the US.
Inequality caused teen pregnancy, childbirth produced poverty, the rich had prettier cities, and labelling more people alcoholics wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Work sparked a civil war in your brain, parking spot tussles created a territorial response, creative thinking required forgetting purpose, sex/gender norms shifted our perception of straight relationships, and worms grew in brains. Lawns destroyed and Romans walked. Readers sent in beautiful eclipse pictures and a remixed Cold War film blew our minds. The Avengers appealed to our post-Great Recession psyches and readymade food grossed us out. Ask Tyler Cowen Anything here, Quote for the Day here, Yglesias Nominees here and here, Moore Award Nominee here, VFYW here, MHB here, and FOTD here.
