Sports & Leisure
The nation's passion for sports is obvious every day—at NASCAR races, kiddie soccer matches, and countless other contests. From a handball used by Abraham Lincoln to Chris Evert's tennis racket to a baseball signed by Jackie Robinson, the roughly 6.000 objects in the Museum's sports collections bear witness to the vital place of sports in the nation's history. Paper sports objects in the collections, such as souvenir programs and baseball cards, number in the hundreds of thousands.
Leisure collections encompass a different range of objects, including camping vehicles and gear, video games, playing cards, sportswear, exercise equipment, and Currier and Ives prints of fishing, hunting, and horseracing. Some 4,000 toys dating from the colonial period to the present are a special strength of the collections.

Vanderbilt Cup, 1904
- Description
- William K. Vanderbilt, Jr. and AAA established America's first international auto race in 1904. Held annually on Long Island's public roads, the race was aimed at improving the performance of American automobiles. The trophy, a silver cup made by Tiffany, is inscribed with the winning entries and an image of Vanderbilt in his Mercedes race car. After a spectator fatality in 1906, Vanderbilt constructed the first highway designed for automobiles, the Long Island Motor Parkway, where races resumed in 1908. After more fatalities, the race relocated to Georgia, Wisconsin, and California. Vanderbilt donated the cup to the Smithsonian in 1934.

5 Mile Handicap Road Run Trophy, won by Jim Thorpe
- Description (Brief)
- Oklahoma native Jim Thorpe (1888-1953) was awarded this trophy in 1914 for winning the 5 Mile Handicap Road Run held by the Bronxdale Athletic Club.
- Thorpe, of mixed European and Native American descent, is considered one of the greatest-overall athletes in United States history. He was a star for the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, where he attained All-American honors in football. He went on to represent the United States at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, winning gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon. Thorpe went on to play professional football, baseball and basketball.
- Thorpe's Olympic victories were revoked when it was discovered that he had made money playing semi-pro baseball, forfeiting his status as an amateur. The medals were reinstated to his family in 1983.

This Game Of Thrones actress who is a big part of the show has a video she made with a boyfriend which shows her completely tied up and involved in all type of S&M activity. She also frequents a S&M club in London on a regular basis.
escandalous how?ReplyCancel
I'd die if this is suppose to be Emilia ClarkeReplyCancel
Or Lena Headey. Although I'd be less surprised if it were LenaReplyCancel
I first thought Lena, she doing Penny Dreadful too.ReplyCancel
Poor Reek. Can't ever catch a break.ReplyCancel
IDK BUT did anyone see what someone in the 1st MR. X post wrote. They claimed that Mr. X is the celeb going through the divorce himself. If it is Mr. Travolta and he is reading—hey buddy! I thought you were hot in Staying Alive!!!ReplyCancel
I wonder if she use that stand that Theon was tied to…ReplyCancel
Which is the dumbest if the actresses, or most likely to be inebriated, or both?ReplyCancel
I get the impression that Enty is so scandalized by BDSM.
What's all types?
@derek – let's not forget Michael. (Dances with Wings)ReplyCancel
This also could be Natalie Dormer. I forgot about her. She gives off a kinky vibe.ReplyCancel
That girl was now in fast 7. Natalie EmmanuelReplyCancel
Anyone see Anna Lynn McCord on Access Hollywoood. She has been on it every night this week discussing being raped and attracted to abusive men and in the past liking rough sex and S&M stuff and being beat in bed…ReplyCancel
I thought Lena also, I think as you get older you get more of screw it attitude & probably more open to things,ReplyCancel
Enjoy your S&M if that's what you like, big whoop….but when will people learn not to put it on video.ReplyCancel
To each their own, but don't record it!!
Making me wonder if this isn't another "oops, darn, my sex video might surface and bring me more attention" dealio.ReplyCancel
If we stopped shaming people for legal consensual acts which hurt no one and instead spent that time money and effort educating people about sex, teenage pregnancies, divorce rates and the extremely overwhelming numbers of children stuck in the foster care system would reduce dramatically.
But it's cool, keep preaching abstinence and sex-shaming others. Obviously that tactic has worked for the last 100 years eh?ReplyCancel
And super SUPER hot that one.. er, I mean two… Uh… oh never mind, you know, those times you sexually assaulted all those masseuses and also when you stayed in that closet for years, even though everyone knows youre homo, yes that was SO hot too. Last but not least, "scientology". Super hot. But that's just me, I've always been attracted to mind control.ReplyCancel
I am guessing Lena.ReplyCancel
Diana Rigg. Grandma Tyrell seems like a freak in the sheets.ReplyCancel
Judging by Lena's instagram, she is a bit crazy and openminded, so my guess is her.
I would for it to be Gwen, she is my girlcrush :$
My first thought was Gwendolyn Christie. Because what a loverly mental picture…
THANK YOU, @Riven. *applause*ReplyCancel
As long as its not Maise Williams.ReplyCancel
Lena got all those tattoos and stuff. Her or Natalie dormer.ReplyCancel
@ Derek Travolta has been looking go9d lately. Hes lost all that weight and has that manly firmness going (in his body not his crotch). I digress..lol.. anyways hes getting back to the hottie patottie level. Hes getting better looking with age when hes not a fatty.ReplyCancel
I'd say part wise: Emilia Clarke or Lena Headly, who have the biggest roles on the show. Michelle Fairley would be former GoT actress.
I think Enty would include barely out of their teens for Sophie Turner and still in her teens for Maisie Williams, so that rules them out.
Major supporting roles would be Natalie Dormer (who is supposedly engaged but you never see the fiance with her), Gwendoline Christie (the big clue referring to her height and she does have a boyfriend) and Nathalie Emmanuel, who I know nothing about except she is in the new Fast and Furious movie.
All of that being said, my best guess is I have no idea.
Since so many of the females in the show are legit porn stars, this isn't even a pimple on the ass of the shit a lot of the actresses do.ReplyCancel
Lena. And I hope it's with Pedro. I'd pay to watch that.ReplyCancel
Didn't see any sex shaming afoot, Riven!
From what I know of game of thrones tv version, this could almost be lifted from the script … Maybe with slight decor changes, though. I'll imagine it with … uff, forgotten his name … stargate guy … In the scene. Jason Momoa – yes please!ReplyCancel
Maisie Dee, who did a wonderful bit of spanking videos as "Lazy Masie." Google University to the rescue!ReplyCancel
Maybe this is why Khaleesi won't do nude scenes any more, she don't want everyone to see her bruises and know what a bad girl she has been.
I would like to give her a beating for keepin them titties and ass under wraps.ReplyCancel

I have a 60 year old house at the bottom of a hill with very high water pressure. Water was coming out of the piping for the tpr valve on my hot water heater. I turned down the temp. and almost completely closed the main shutoff valve to slow the pressure down but I'm not sure if it was wise to do that. I've heard of pressure reducing valves, expansion tanks on the hot water heater, etc. but was wondering what is the proper fix to my high water pressure.

LeafsNation 2013 Year End Awards winners
Cam Charron
June 17 2013 04:04AM
Midway through the MMVA's last night, the humble editors of The Leafs Nation dot com took to the stage to present the winners of the Leafs Nation dot com's first annual awards ceremony. You'll recall at the conclusion of the regular season, we put together a list of nominees and people voted.
Now that the NHL has released its vote winners, TLN has its champions. Shocker: Phil Kessel and James Reimer were both rewarded by the voters for their play all season.
Drumroll, please…
Unsung Hero
Awarded to the Toronto Maple Leaf who is deemed to be the least sung
Nominees: Mark Fraser, Carl Gunnarsson, Nik Kulemin, Jay McClement, Ben Scrivens
Aaaand the winner is…
Jay McClement!
McClement spent more time killing penalties than any skater in the entire National Hockey League. That includes defencemen—McClement had 15 more minutes of PK time than Jeff Petry, number two in the league.
But here's the thing about McClement: not only did he kill penalties, but while the Leafs' problems controlling shots at even strength was well-documented all season, the improvement by the team in the PK was not just a random patch of luck. The Leafs allowed 51.1 shots per 60 minutes in 5-on-4 situations in 2012, which was 19th in the league. With McClement signed up to be the Leafs' specialist, they dropped to 41.9.
There were lots of Leafs storylines this season, and areas that weren't actually improved that looked a little better thanks to the randomness of a 48-game season, but the PK was legitimately better. McClement took 65% of the vote, with Kulemin in second with 17%.
Rookie of the Year
Awarded to the most proficient Maple Leaf in his first year of NHL competition
Nominees: Joe Colborne, Korbinian Holzer, Leo Komarov
Aaaand the winner is…
Leo Komarov!
Butttt…. he probably isn't coming back. Alllsooo this wasn't a particularly good field of Leafs rookies this season. Komarov destroyed the voting, garnering 96% of the vote (Korbinian Holzer had four total votes) as a versatile bottom six, penalty-killing winger.
Goat of the Year
Awarded to the Toronto Maple Leaf we could blame for all our problems
Nominees: Tyler Bozak, Randy Carlyle, Korbinian Holzer, Colton Orr
Aaaand the winner is…
Korbinian Holzer!
This was a close vote. Korbinian Holzer won 41% of the vote, edging out the coach that played him on the first pairing for 12 games, who only got 37%. Pugilist Colton Orr had 15% while possession sinkhole Tyler Bozak got 7%.
Ultimately there were a lot of good arguments for any one player or coach, but Holzer's Corsi rate this season was 39.9%. Him and Dion were the worst possession pairing for the Leafs this season, and the screenshot above shows it all. That was maybe the second worst play by Holzer against the Hurricanes, though.
Best Defenceman
Awarded to the Toronto Maple Leaf who is the most named Dion Phaneuf
Nominees: Cody Franson, Carl Gunnarsson, Dion Phaneuf
Aaaand the winner is…
Dion Phaneuf!
Not a surprise. Dion played the toughest minutes in the NHL with scattered partners. He started the year with Mike Kostka and then got to play with Korbinian Holzer. It wasn't until March that he finally got placed alongside a hurting Carl Gunnarsson, and closed out the rest of the year playing well on the team's top pairing.
Phaneuf also had a bit of an offensive resurgence, scoring nine goals and 28 points in 48 games, his best rates in each category since he became a Leaf. Phaneuf took 71% of the votes, while Cody Franson wound up with 25%.
Best Forward
Awarded to the Toronto Maple Leaf who is deemed to be the most proficient
Nominees: Nazem Kadri, Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk
Aaaand the winner is…
Phil Kessel!
Not a surprise. Kessel, who led the Leafs down the stretch and into the playoffs, did not sway any Hart Trophy voters, but did convince 76% of Leafs Nation dot com readers that he was more proficient than Kadri or van Riemsdyk. Nazem Kadri who had a breakout offensive year and was compared to Doug Gilmour roughly 6,000 times, earned just 20% of the vote. This could have been closer had Kadri not fallen off towards the end of the season.
Leafs Team MVP
Awarded to the Toronto Maple Leaf deemed to be most valuable to his team
Nominees: Nazem Kadri, Phil Kessel, Jay McClement, Dion Phaneuf, James Reimer
Aaaand the winner is…
James Reimer!
Morweena, Manitoba's most famous certainly got his fair share of recognition among the voters. The Leafs goaltender picked up 78% of the vote in a decisive sweep. Phil Kessel was in second place with just 8% of the vote.
Reimer held the Leafs together all the way up until there were 82 seconds to go in Game 7 against the Boston Bruins. After coming off a season marred by injury, Reimer posted a career-best .924 save percentage, established himself as the starter on a team goalie-less since the mid-aughts, and erased any possibility of the Maple Leafs overpaying for Roberto Luongo from Vancouver.
Numbers taken from Hockey Reference and Hockey Analysis
June 17 2013, 12:48PM
After reading the selections by my fellow readers here all I can say is...
Three cheers for sanity! I was expecting at least one crazy choice, like Kadri edging out Kessel.

my opinion of him, not that regularly listen to rap, is hes a talented rapper... but if you watch the video then he was shaking his head saying 'aww man this aint fair!' he really seemed like cry baby..and if you think of all the celebs he made cry like that, i'd say it was well deserved
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

When Cohen makes one of the most controversial "gay" movies ever made?
Acts Brüno out on Live MTV? Rubs his ass in Em's face?
Doubt it, there's not a single soul in school that has not heard of Brüno.
There's a lot more that doesn't even realize that Em's rapping about homosexuals in some of his songs.
Hey, even Em's alter ego is gay, Slim Shady... Even got his own song where... Well, let's not discuss that because I really find the sounds of that skit disturbing. ^^
Man, this is why I hate joining debates (I know "Why do you do it then, stop whining, get out blabla") there's always a couple of guys, completely joining one side when he does not know much about the other.
Fine, you don't like his music, no problem for me there.
But I think it's quite inane that you still think that Marshall M. Mathers seriously hate homosexuals when he's made it quite clear that he doesn't. How do you know that he does? Because someone told you? Because you heard the word "fag" in one of his songs?
How can you be sure that Cohen just did this as a joke, and not just because he hates Mathers' guts?
I know quite a lot about Eminem, I know quite a lot about Cohen as well. Eminem does not hate homosexuals, he would have chosen a completely different approach if he did. Cohen did this as a joke, because we all know of his daring stunts.
They're both at the same level when it comes to pissing people of.
Eminem raps about his stuff, just to express himself and to piss people of.
Cohen made a whole country look like inbred idiots, he "named" the child in his movie after "a traditional African name - O.J." He does this as his way of expressing himself, he does this to piss people off. It doesn't make them bad persons, they don't deserve anything more than anyone else just because they do their own thing.
Man... This is getting way out of hand now.
(again)They're both normal people, doing their own thing. Neither of them got anything special against homosexuals or whatever they mock.
I just said "Fine, you don't like his music." If you do, sorry to have said that then, so be sure to correct me. But to me it seems that you're trying to make it sound like that all Eminem does is to rap about homosexuals.
O.J. Is an "abbreviation" yes. In Brünos case it is the name of an African killer, you didn't realize that, did you? That's like the point of that scene. Why he enters a talkshow as a single father, that had just adopted some Afro American kid and "named him after a traditional African name."
You don't really know what I'm talking about do you? Are thinking that I'm turning this against you, or something?
And... Calling me a kid, yeah, I probably am. A 17 year old kid from Norway. But what does that make you?
Immature and angry. I'm just defending my opinion of this debate.
You're attacking me because I'm not agreeing with you, because I'm stating what I believe is the truth. If I was to attack everything that didn't agree with me... Hey, that's how war starts.
And our conversation is over indeed, I have nothing more to talk to you about. You cant take in hand the fact that I'm disagreeing with you, in a slightly offensive manner. I'm doing that because you're approaching me with the same tactic.

1. Fugaku missing at the event of naruto's birth.
2. Fugaku never shown as a prime character using great jutsu's by masashi(even the skill of sasuke's mother). but narutos parents was showed off comparitively.
4. We should never forget that he was the leader of the uchiha clan who knows many things about the history of uchiha(leaders would be powerful for that matter)
3. Zetsu body could also have been obtained after his death (propably he used izanagi - senju afinity is yet to be known ).
5. not to mention the possure he had when he attended sasuke's academy ceremony.
(he had this imacable grunt against villagers).
6. why not he could have saved the madara after the battle of valley of ends.
7. he did also have the knowledge of MS and possibly he would have deciphered the tablet also.
8. during the minato's attack - the masked man was bleeding with cut.
(tobi - zetsu did't have blood hopeso)
9. lastly he was also very ambitious.
1. Tobi had no idea what ET was. This can only mean two things.
A: He is not from the generation of Madara, the 2nd Mizukage etc who knew what it was.
B: It makes it increasily unlikely he is Izuna bcos Izuna would know what ET is(unless it was created after his death).
2. "Edo Tensei was originally intended to wipe the map clean, along with the caster". What the hell did Madara mean by this?
Why would the caster want to be wiped out and how would Madara know the intentions behind a Senju technique
3. How did Madara die, was it through his injuries sufferred at VOTE or was it some sort of macbre sacrfice?
I think at that time, only Hashirama was strong enough to defeat him and in any case, if someone else killed him, he would be world famous for it. The key word is "I died" as oppose to "I was killed"
4. Why did he die shortly after awakening the rinnegan and what was his unique ems power?
5. Tobi never made an referrence to Ooniki like you would an old acquaintance/enemy, but Madara did. If Tobi is indeed a clone, wouldn't he have Madara's memories and thus remember Ooniki?
6. I believe Tobi NEVER intended to revive Madara. Nagato believed Tobi was Madara so wiuldn't he have found it strange that 'Madara' was asking him to revive Madara? Furthermore, Nagato said it was impossible to revive Jirayai bcos of the lapsed time so how could he possibly revive Madara? Rinne Tensei has secrets UNKNOWN to Nagato
7. Why is Sasuke so IMPORTANT to Tobi? I mean after hearing Nagato's death, he was always goung to go for the rinnegan so why is he bothered about strengthing. Sasuke's eyes and giving him EMS?
8. Was the rinnegan really Tobi's to begin with? I believe him when he said it but not the simplistic explaination that some ppl might think.
Madara ONLY gained the rinnegan after getting Izuna's eyes and Hashirama's dna. If either of them had offsprings for example, wouldn't they feel that those eyes were their's to begin with?
21-11-2011 additional info
Ever since the latest manga chapters have come out showing us that Tobi is more than likely NOT Madara, I am sure that a lot of you have been going crazy as to who it may or may not be...
This is what I think about the whole situation, this is strictly a guess and it is my opinion. I do not care if anyone does or does not believe me, but I have made a lot of predictions about the Naruto story as it has gone by over the many years, and I have been right about a majority of them... Im just awesome like that
Ok lets get into it. There will be a lot to read, but if you stick with it, I know that you will like what I have to say and you may highly consider my arguments and insight on all of this:
First I want to get into who I DO NOT think it is, who I believe it should NOT be. I have read some theories that other people have had about it being Obito or Madaras brother... okay people lets think about this... I strongly, truly, honestly hope it is not Obito. That story is long gone, it was part of the back story of Kakashi and how he got his sharingan. Obito got crushed by the boulder no doubts about that. Face it people...hes dead. That part of the Naruto story is done and it has served its purpose.
Second lets talk about Madaras brother Izuna. I took this into consideration like a lot of other people that it could be him, but the more I thought about it... it simply does not make any sense. Madara took both of his eyes and gained the eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. I understand that in the Naruto ninja universe it is entirely possible that perhaps he still lived and got another set of eyes transplanted for him, but honestly once again, that was so far in the past. I would hate for the story to turn out that way, its just stupid.
I crossed those 2 names off my list already...
There is one more person that is talked about a lot that it could be... Uchiha Shisui. This would be kinda cool and if Kishimoto explained it in the right way, I would be okay with Tobi being Shisui. Lets talk about him and his role in Naruto. We found out that Itachi was actually very close to Shisui and Danzou had already taken one of his eyes. Shisui entrusted the other to Itachi to avoid conflict over his eyes, and he disappeared leaving no corpse behind... that right there is very suspicious that there was no corpse and that is why I still slightly consider him a possibility to be Tobi... but wait... Tobi is all about the destruction of Konoha and is creating a lot of chaos to achieve "peace". That does not seem like Shisui at all with the way Itachi recently explained things. And of course, he would have had to get some other persons eye transplanted, and someone very powerful at that with the teleportation, other dimension ability that he has. Thinking about all of this information, and if you read up on Shisui... does it really make a lot of sense that it could be him? I think not...
There is one more thing I want to touch base on before I get into my number one candidate for Tobi. When Madara came out of the coffin he mentioned Nagato and how he has grown. This would mean that Madara was indeed alive during the time that he was a kid when the whole Danzou/Hanzo story arc was taking place, and I believe that Madara was alive during the beginning development stages of Akatsuki. He was probably killed by Tobi around that time. The one thing that is bothering me is the fact that Madara came out of the coffin looking like he did back in the day when he fought with the 1st Hokage. Hes got the old school armor and the long hair. I was under the impression that the impure world resurrection technique brought them back looking the way they did right before they died. That does not appear to be the case since he mentioned Nagato, and perhaps Kabuto can decide how they look or what form they take when they are resurrected. That is something on my mind and I can't quite figure it out...anyway...
Now for the grand finale!
I recently thought of this and it is making more and more sense to me...
Tobi is more than likely somebody during the time that the Uchiha clan was wiped out, he has a grudge against the village, the elders, and wants to take revenge. Ill jump right into it and say that I believe Tobi to be Fugaku Uchiha (Itachi and Sasukes father). Crazy right!?! Here are my reasons why:
Fugaku was very strong indeed. He was the head of the Uchiha clan and the Captain of the Konoha Military Police Force. He possessed the sharingan, but we never saw him in battle, we never got to see exactly what he could do or what his sharingan was capable of. If you read up on him: naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fugaku ... you will read that the village blamed the Uchiha clan for the Nine Tails attack on the village and out of spite he conspired a coup d'etat to allow the Uchiha clan to take control of the village. Itachi also noted that him and his wife were "absent" before the beast struck, what they were doing is currently unknown. He always focused more on Itachi, picking him to be his favorite over Sasuke. Itachi was very talented and he placed him as a spy in ANBU to get info back to him. Itachi worked as a double agent though, betraying his clan and leaking info back to the village. He started to take notice in Sasuke and his development, especially with the Great Fireball technique... he advised Sasuke not to follow in his brothers footsteps.
What does all this mean?... Well if you think about Tobi, you will notice that he is taking a rather large interest in Sasuke, choosing him as his right hand man. Fugaku was resentful of how the village had shunned the clan for years. His coup d'etat could have possibly led to Fourth Shinobi World War, he was unwilling to negotiate with the Konoha elders, leading to Itachi assassinating the clan... This is exactly what we are seeing! Him taking revenge on the elders, the ninja war we are seeing now, AND his interest in Sasuke because Itachi let him down!
I think that Fugaku was very strong at the time of Itachi assassinating the clan. He placed a genjutsu on Itachi to let him believe that he had killed him. So perhaps he did survive? And he has now taken the identity of Tobi. If you take a look at Tobi with his mask on, you will see hes got lines under his eyes, making me to believe that he is a little bit older than Shisui or Obito would be, he appears to be older. Madara mentioned recently that if Kabuto new about "Our Plan"...referring to him and Tobi? The two of them could have been working together since the start of the Nine Tails attack on the village (explaining his absence).
If you consider all of these facts and really think about it, Fugaku makes the most sense to be Tobi...and personally I would love to see it turn out that way. Once again these are all my opinions, but I also brought a lot of noticeable facts to the table. Think about it, let me know what you think. Thank you for taking the time to read this, have a nice day...

Last year, Stuart visited Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons; as well as learning new techniques for creating unusual and delicious breads, Stuart was also introduced to some new varieties of exotic herb. This sparked ideas for redevelopment of the herb garden, which has been an important part of The Hundred House since it began. Construction started about two months ago, with the creation of 14 raised beds.As with everything at The Hundred House, it was a fabulous team effort, including the help of Ron,who took part in the original refurbishment in 1985. Henry and Stuart decided to use a raised bed system, which allows for easier management of the variety of herbs used. This means a greater range of herb plants can be grown,which turn provides an array of new flavours and menu inspiration.
During my day at The Hundred House, I was able to spend time with their resident plant expert and gardener, Denise, who describes herself as passionate about growing. Her joy and enthusiasm for the garden is infectious, and I came away with some useful tips for growing herbs at home. Denise explained that herbs are an ideal project for a new gardener, or if space is limited. Many herbs are Mediterranean in origin, so they are tolerant of dry conditions,and are happy in grow in pots or window boxes. Herbs can also provide attractive and useful borders for flowerbeds. Their only special requirement is lots of sun. She also passed on an excellent piece of advice which was to to grow only what I like to eat !
Denise explained that the new beds include edible flowers, such as nasturtium and viola, which are delicious in salads, as well as unusual varieties of coriander, and oriental greens, alongside less common examples of familiar varieties, such as thyme,fennel and mint.

The Emery County girls softball league recently finished their season with a tournament. In eighth-12th grade: All five teams played great. Ferron stayed on top during the tournament not losing a game, until Cleveland came back from playing three games prior and defeated them in the championship game. That made them play one more game where Ferron defeated Cleveland and won the Championship. It was a very exciting game and had everyone on the edge of their seats into the early morning (1am).
Fifth-seventh grades: There was a total of seven teams in this age group. Cleveland stayed on top all the way through the tournament. Ferron played hard all the way to the end, but couldn't defeat Cleveland. Cleveland ended the season going undefeated through the tournament. All the girls played hard.
Third-fourth grades: There was seven teams in this age group. Elmo came up from the bottom and beat Huntington twice to become Champions of the 3-4 graders. These girls played great. We have a lot of talented girls in this age group, with teams playing as many as three games in a row.
These girls have great potential to go far.

Narrow calves and hard soles
"These shoes look great, but there are a couple of problems.The calves are very narrow, so this boot is only suited for people who have very skinny legs. It would have been better if the width was adjustable. (The belts don't help. They are purely aesthetic.)Also, the soles are kind of hard so the shoes are not comfortable for standing in for long periods of time without shoe insoles."

"I read the reviews that if you have skinny legs, this shoes is it. I bought this online and it is very big on my calf. Also, the bottom of the boots were uncomfortably hard as if I stepped on something. I am returning this one."

Not what I expected
"I thought I was going to love these boots, but they weren't what I was expecting when I ordered them online. They were pretty tight on my calf, which I usually never have a problem with, but weirdly loose in the ankle-and I say weird because when walking the material was pulling in a way that made them look and feel odd. It's hard to explain, but I wasn't liking it. If they had been a little cheaper I might have kept them, but I'd rather have the money to buy a pair of boots I absolutely love, so they were returned.On the positive side, the color and black straps were very cute!"

Looks nice
"The boot is definitely not worth over 50$ because the material isn't very good. I wouldn't consider it exactly comfortable because it feels cheap.. but it's not uncomfortable either. The calf section was a bit wide for me but it does have buckles on the side. The zipper on the side of the buckles is just for looks. Overall, this boot looks very cute and I would definitely recommend it when it goes on sale!!"

A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!
A little romantic house near lake como. It's a historic stone house, which has been restored beautifully. Perfect for two persons, but also possible with two kids.
Beautiful, comfortable flat with a magnificent view over plage du sillon
Very nice and cosy little appartment. It's small but has everything one needs, the hosts are very friendly, and the location is both quiet and beautiful. Even the dog loved the stay!
I was total satisfied - everything went smoothly. The house was clean and well equipped. Host was very nice and friendly. Nice view and environment. Great places in the neighborhood - worth to visit.
A Nice small apartment in a very nice neighborhood in Venice, few tourists but still good restaurants and very nice people. The host don't speak english but is still very nice and polite. The only thing we missed at the apartment was a AC system because the apartment gets very hot during the summer.
Nicely located apartment with 2 large bedrooms. Big and clean swimmingpool outside to share with the other in the complex. Never crowded. Clean and practical apartment. There were quite a few mosqitoes in July, som should be good to bring mosqitonet to put on the terrace doors to be able to ventilate during the night. No airconditioner installed but night temp. at about 19 degrees C. so ok. You should rent a car to get around/down to the center and beaches. Beautiful scenery.
Splendid location to visit Tirol.
The accommodation provides all you need to enjoy your holidays.
View from the terrace was absolutely beautiful!
The apartment served our purpose as we used it for smaller dinners and sleeping.
Bigger dinners would require you to buy many spices and such as there was absolutely nothing available. The walk to town (approx.. 1km) was all downhill making the journey back a good work-out :).
Wimdu was great, except the property manager (key-holder) did not speak English so it was difficult understanding about the apartment when we first got there.

Leinster were made to work very hard to grind out a 9-6 victory over Heineken Cup newcomers Exeter in Dublin on Saturday.
Leinster were made to work very hard to grind out a 9-6 victory over Heineken Cup newcomers Exeter Chiefs in Dublin on Saturday.
Three Jonathan Sexton penalties proved enough to secure the result as the defending champions struggled to tame their visitors.
It could have been worse for Leinster but Argentina international Ignacio Mieres missed a last-minute penalty that would have snatched a draw for Exeter.
Led by man-of-the-match Tom Hayes, the Chiefs played the better rugby for much of a tryless Pool Five opener and looked right at home in Europe's top tournament.
Sexton twice put the home side in front with the boot in a cagey and low-scoring affair at the RDS Arena, once after 10 minutes of the first half and then again midway through the second half.
But Exeter were dogged throughout and never allowed the reigning European champions to get away from them, with Gareth Steenson matching his opposite number kick for kick.
The 28-year-old fly-half kicked penalties in the final minute of the first half and within just a couple of minutes of the Ireland number 10's second successful attempt to keep the home fans on the edge of their seat and fearing a shock upset.
The Chiefs were making it an uncomfortable afternoon for Leinster and a measure of the hosts' desperation was on show as full-back Ian Madigan decided to take on a drop goal from the halfway line.
Sexton did step up to restore order with his third penalty of the day in the final 10 minutes and the Irishmen looked to have done enough to scrape a narrow win to start the defence of their Heineken Cup crown.
Leinster did hold on and they did get off to a winning start but Exeter came within a whisker of coming away from Dublin with a draw that few would have argued that they deserved.
The tireless work of the Chiefs' pack was rewarded with a penalty just inside the Leinster half as the clock ticked over 80 minutes but, with Steenson off the field, Mieres was unable to convert it and the competition holders breathed an almighty collective sigh of relief.
The scorers:
For Leinster:
Pens: Sexton 3
For Exeter:
Pens: Steenson 2
Leinster: 15 Ian Madigan, 14 Andrew Conway, 13 Brian O'Driscoll, 12 Fergus McFadden, 11 Isa Nacewa, 10 Jonathan Sexton, 9 Eoin Reddan, 8 Jamie Heaslip, 7 Shane Jennings, 6 Kevin McLaughlin, 5 Damian Browne, 4 Leo Cullen (capt), 3 Mike Ross, 2 Richardt Strauss, 1 Cian Healy.

"Thanks to these new features, Wat has expanded the social dimension of its service and is offering users a richer and more engaging experience by capitalizing on the popularity of the globe's biggest social network (more than 400 million members)," says IDATE senior consultant, S. Girieud, while pointing out that, "this partnership with Facebook should help attract and keep new users and/or generate more traffic on the online video platform, and so help boost the ad-based monetization of its inventory".IDate forecasts that the following process will lead to the ad-based monetization of the inventory:
By integrating a major social network's most popular tools (Facebook's Live Feed, Twitter's tweets), free online TV/video services such as TV channel Web sites, VOD services and video sharing platforms can offer their users a richer viewing experience. Better experiences in turn help create and retain audience and/or additional traffic (more visits and visitors, more time spent, more page views) and thereby generate more ad revenue from a site's inventory.

• Can social networks help free online TV and video services pull in enough additional advertising revenue?
• Will the social graph be a new performance driver for pay-VOD recommendations systems?

Skip to comments.Live Thread: Obama Nominates Elena Kagan to Supreme Court (10 a.m. EDT 5/10/10)
Posted on 05/10/2010 6:43:56 AM PDT by kristinn
Live from the East Room at the White House! Barack Obama announces his nomination of Solictor General Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court.
10 a.m. EDT.
Seems Kagan pisses off everyone. It is Os Harriet Meyers moment
Here's a post from Powerlineblog on Kagan:
President Obama will reportedly announce the appointment of Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court today. I don't know much about Kagan, but the little I do know raises a question in my mind about what kind of justice she will be.
As Dean of Harvard Law School, Kagan had to deal with the issue of compliance with the Solomon Amendment. Under the Solomon Amendment, universities receiving federal funding are required to allow the armed services to recruit on campus like other employers. It is a law that shouldn't be necessary.
Harvard Law School was one of many prominent law schools that chose to violate the Solomon Amendment, citing the military's don't ask/don't tell policy. The don't ask/don't tell policy is not just a whim of the armed forces. It is also the law of the land, but don't tell law school deans about it. They have to worry about matters closer to home, like their own schools' so-called nondiscrimination policies against hosting recruiters for employers that don't toe the line on homosexual rights.
When the Department of Defense sent Harvard a notice that it intended to enforce the Solomon Amendment, Kagan announced that she would adhere to what I call the Yale Doctrine, in honor of the statement made by then-Yale Law Dean Anthony Kronman at the time:
We would never put at risk the overwhelmingly large financial interests of the University in federal funding. We have a point of principle to defend, but we will not defend this—at the expense of programs vital to the University and the world at large.
Dean Kronman paid a backhanded tribute to the "money talks" impetus behind the Solomon Amendment. Thus the Yale Doctrine: We take your money for the good of the world.
But neither Yale nor Harvard let it go at that. They both supported FAIR v Rumsfeld, the lawsuit opposing the Solomon Amendment.
Yale and others argued that the Solomon Amendment was unconstitutional. I thought that the legal merits of the FAIR lawsuit rivaled those of obesity lawsuits brought by overweight consumers against fast food outlets. A divided panel of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals held in favor of the plaintiffs, however, finding it likely that the Solomon Amendment unconstitutionally infringed the law school's First Amendment rights.
When the Supreme Court accepted the Department of Defense's appeal from the Third Circuit decision, Kagan got on board. She was one of 40 Harvard Law School professors who signed a friend-of-the-court brief written by Walter Dellinger supporting the FAIR plaintiffs.
In the brief Dellinger argued that the Solomon Amendment applied only to schools that specifically prohibited military access on campus, not to schools' whose policies simply had the (allegedly) incidental effect of doing so. Dellinger distinguished the law schools' contemporary anti-discrimination policies from Vietnam-era academic anti-military policies.
Dellinger's argument based on the language of the Solomon Amendment was, to say the least, strained, and the Supreme Court gave it the back of its hand in the Court's 9-0 opinion upholding the Solomon Amendment. Even Justice Stevens rejected it.
Here we have Kagan herself, as Dean of the Harvard Law School, signing off on a brief making an argument so far out that not a single member of the Supreme Court found it worthy of adherence. This would seem to provide some evidence for the proposition that Kagan's views lie somewhere outside the mainstream of Supreme Court jurisprudence.
Perhaps the institutional imperatives to which she gave voice as dean of the Harvard Law School overrode her common sense. For other reasons, Kagan has noted she didn't write the brief; she merely signed it.
Kagan's side decisively lost the FAIR case in the Supreme Court. I wrote while the case was pending in the Supreme Court that some lawsuits deserve a fate worse than failure. While decent military recruiters suffered the rudeness of their purported betters at Yale Law School and elsewhere in silence, the armed services of the United States were (and are) actively defending the freedom of those schools from peril. The rank ingratitude of those who should know better is a disgrace that deserves to be widely recognized as such.
Perhaps....but then he might bring in a bigger leftie...
What was her role in Harvard's ignoring the absolute lack of documentation and qualifications of B. Hussein Obama?
Is that really sufficient grounds for her to rule on its continued coverup?
Well...at least no one can complain about indications of her judicial bearing. She never was a judge.
It will help Obama with the Jewish and woman's vote.
We first got a dodo, now it has been determined we need an enema.
Neither of which can spell constitution. I wonder why.
As an undergraduate at Princeton, Kagan wrote a senior thesis titled
"To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933."
In the "Acknowledgments" section of her work, she specifically thanked her brother Marc, whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas. In the body of the thesis, Kagan wrote:
"In our own times, a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States. Americans are more likely to speak of a golden past than of a golden future, of capitalisms glories than of socialisms greatness. Conformity overrides dissent; the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter. Such a state of affairs cries out for explanation. Why, in a society by no means perfect, has a radical party never attained the status of a major political force? Why, in particular, did the socialist movement never become an alternative to the nations established parties?...
"Through its own internal feuding, then, the SP [Socialist Party] exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and insignificance from which it has never recovered. The story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialisms decline, still wish to change America. Radicals have often succumbed to the devastating bane of sectarianism; it is easier, after all, to fight ones fellows than it is to battle an entrenched and powerful foe. Yet if the history of Local New York shows anything, it is that American radicals cannot afford to become their own worst enemies. In unity lies their only hope."
Obama to Pick Pro-Abort Elena Kagan for Supreme Court: Report
Excerpt: > In April, the White House reacted with fury when Ben Domenech, writing in a blog post for CBS News, declared that Kagan would be the "first openly gay justice" on the U.S. Supreme Court. Under increasing pressure from the Obama administration, CBS eventually pulled the post and Domenech apologized for "a Harvard rumor" - but not before posting an addendum stating: "I have to correct my text here to say that Kagan is apparently still closeted - odd, because her female partner is rather well known in Harvard circles."
The mainstream media is painting her as a moderate. Yeah...right...
I am very fed up with these sick sex people getting pushed in my face as leaders. This person is disgusting and I would never trust "it's" opinion on ANYTHING!
Yea, another activist nominated to SCOTUS.
BORK HER BOYS! Sorry Ms. Kagan, you are not qualified, and you are a marxist pal. SO, no sorry. Tea Party Conservatives will NOT support your nomination, and those elected officials in the senate in the GOP had better HEAR THIS: N O on Kagan. Any questions GOP? Any at all? Good.
Vote no, thats the will of your constituents.
Good Lord. That nitwit Amy Klobuchar is on FNC singing Kagan's praises. She's got the talking points down PAT. (No pun intended)
"Just call her Pat"
LOL! And America can't stand Pat!
How can a sitting judge be a judge when she/he is not a judge? Our country is going to sink into the wretch of history if this is allowed to stand/sit. We must fight this and also my kid laughed at the man with the ear rings and pearls. I was ashamed that is who he picked. What a loser of the highest degree!
I always get spooked when the talking heads on the tube say someone is "extremely intelligent". They said the same thing about Gibbs when Barry put him out there to deal with the "media".
As if he needs any such help ...
My first reading of this was Lesbian To Be Nominated For Supreme Court. One look at her picture removed any "to be or not to be" doubt.
If Amy Klobucher likes Elena, you know she's gotta be a whack.
"We don't need any experience to run the country...our good intentions are what's important"
God help us!
Maybe the liberal jewish women's vote.
and the gym teacher/womens' coach vote.
It's all about undermining American culture and the US military. It has been the goal of the commie left for decades to destroy us from within.
See # 16 and 24-26.
Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals [1963]:
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
And the liberals claimed Harriet Myers was unqualified.
Tell me that doesn't look like Patton Oswalt in drag.
Who's bigger? Randy Johnson??
He's late.....again!
And remember Obama's recent call for African-Americans, Latinos, and women to reform the coalition that got him elected in 2008. A lesbian Jew has some political reasonance within the Dem constituency.
Not woman's vote - lesbian votes.
Teleprompters are at the ready...
But Kagan's gone to all the 'right' schools.
That counts a lot to the elitist radicals.
Thanks for the post. This certainly confirmed my suspicions.
Let me guess...
She supports Roe V Wade
"Seems Kagan pisses off everyone. It is Os Harriet Meyers moment"
Yeah, but I don't think the end of the story is going to be another Alito on the bench in this case.
OTOH, maybe the fact that they'd even consider it has him spooked.
Oh look, Barack's wearing his purple SEIU tie...
(The gushing he's doing about Kagan is making me gag)
A lesbian socialist. Original.
Gaygan...needs a good Borking.
"It will help Obama with the Jewish and womans vote."
NOT with Jewish woman's vote or that of my mother or my sisters.....!
Now, he's throwing out the "she recruited conservative scholars" at Harvard meme.
I cant even watch this SOB!!! Hate him.
I mute him immediately.
Please, not another tired old Yankee-Red Sox joke...
You'd think he'd learn to stay away from baseball given his previous flubs... (mom jeans, throwing like a girl, not knowing any White Sox players)

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A jury has found a notorious Rockefeller impostor guilty of first-degree murder in the death of a California man nearly three decades ago.
The verdict was reached Wednesday after the jury deliberated about a day.
Testimony in the cold-case trial of Christian Gerhartsreiter focused on the discovery of the bones of John Sohus long after he and his wife disappeared from his mother's home in San Marino, a wealthy Los Angeles suburb.
The defendant, a German immigrant with delusions of grandeur, rented a cottage at the Sohus home in 1985 then disappeared about the same time as Sohus and his wife Linda who was never found.
The case was circumstantial and no reason was ever given for why the defendant would kill the victim.
Over the years, Gerhartsreiter adopted many names, including Clark Rockefeller.

Help finding ammonia
I've been looking all over, and no one has the right combo.
I've found 100% ammonia, but with surfactants. and I've found 10% ammonia with nothing else on the label showing ingredients. It said janitorial strength on it.
Does anyone have a clue as to where I can get some 100% pure, with out all the crap in it ammonia. I don't think you can order it online, because its a marked item as far as bomb making goes.
I just got a 75gal tank, and I'd like to cycle it the right way.
do you have an ACE hardware in your area? They have the stuff.
It's ACE brand janitorial strength ammonia.30 g FW planted:corys, female ABNP, blue angel, harleys, zebra danios, rummies,
15 g FW planted:2 male guppies, neons, pygmy corys, clown pleco, 4 types of shrimp, assassin snails
90 Gal Journal: http://bit.ly/1vC7gVX
fishless cycling: http://bit.ly/1DARf3T
fish in cycling: http://bit.ly/1ILvcfp
I would not worry too much about the concentration of the ammonia in the bottle. I have a bottle of ammonia which is only 10 or 15% ammonia without any additional addatives and it has worked fine for cycling a few tanks already.
A lot of members here get there ammonia from Ace Hardware as fishmommie has already recommendedIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.
"Not using a quarantine tank is like playing Russian roulette. Nobody wins the game, some people just get to play longer than others." - Anthony Calfo

Dilluted but pure is fine, and 10% solution makes for easily calculating.
Funny this, over here every supermarket and most DIY stores sell it. I think I pay 69 cents a liter. I understand it's also difficult to come by in the UK. I think next time I'm over there I'm going to bring a case or two and flog it to aquarists.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
It's readily available in the states but can prove near impossible to find elsewhere. I ended up buying mine off amazon for $8.00. Overpriced yeah, but I cycled my tank without any problems and worries.

'Time waits for no man'
The one that had janitorial strength on the label is the one you want. You will not find actual 100% ammonia available to the general public because it is lethal unless diluted. The bottle that said 100% just meant it didn't have fragrance or soaps, etc.. in it, but it was diluted with water. If you don't have an Ace Hardware near you, look for a cleaning supply company that sells to businesses, they will have the ammonia you need and often sell to individuals.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
A moderator on a fish forum should be able to identify an oscar... Don't you think?
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

I went last night and picked up the 10%, and started a cycle on my 10gal tank.
See how this works out....

The cruise industry is safer than when the Costa Concordia capsized off Italy two years ago, killing 32 passengers, but several safety provisions are still under development, according to a government report released Monday.
The cruise industry and federal agencies have implemented 11 of 15 provisions from legislation calling for better evacuation training and life-jacket stowage, according to the report from the Government Accountability Office.
Among the remaining provisions, the Coast Guard is developing rules for better detecting when a person has fallen overboard, maintaining video surveillance to document crimes on board and transmitting warnings from a ship to anyone in surrounding waters, according to the GAO report.
"The GAO report found what I have been saying all along: We must do more to protect passengers on cruise ships," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W. Va., one of the lawmakers who requested the report.
"While the industry has made some efforts on safety and security, passengers have limited recourse and access to incomplete information about the history of crime on board cruise ships when things go wrong."
Christine Duffy, CEO of the industry group Cruise Lines International Association, said she was pleased the report highlighted the steps taken to improve shipboard operations and safety.
"As a result of the industry's relentless focus on passenger comfort and safety, cruising is one of the most enjoyable, affordable and safe holiday vacation experiences available today," Duffy said.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said he was pleased the cruise industry is improving its policies, but it must still work on the provisions that have yet to be enacted.
"It is crucial that we push harder to enact final safety regulations mandated by law," Thompson said.
Cruise rules are important because the industry had 16 million passengers in 2011, including nearly 11 million leaving from U.S. ports.
The Costa Concordia accident drew critical attention to the industry when the ship struck rocks off the Italian coast and partially sank on Jan. 13, 2012. Salvagers are still working to right the ship and float it away in June, to be dismantled in a port.
Crime aboard ships remains a concern for lawmakers because, while the FBI investigates complaints, the government doesn't require statistics to be published. Multiple countries could investigate a crime during a voyage.
"I strongly believe consumers need basic protections onboard cruise ships, and action must be taken to close the gaps in crime reporting," Rockefeller said.
Rep. Doris Matsui, D-Calif., said the report shows good progress, but more work is needed.
"The report clearly highlights that further efforts are necessary to strengthen the crime-reporting requirements under the law," Matsui said.
Duffy, speaking for the industry group, said the GAO report noted that the low rate of crime reported on cruise ships compared with land-based crime can be explained partly by screening of passengers, camera surveillance and security personnel.
"Although allegations of serious crime on cruise ships are a small fraction of corresponding rates on land, the cruise industry voluntarily discloses allegations of serious crime to the public so consumers can see for themselves that alleged crimes on cruise ships are uncommon," Duffy said.

South Africa claimed their first ever win at Suncorp Stadium by beating Australia 38-12 in their Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.
South Africa claimed their first ever win at Suncorp Stadium – and their first in Brisbane for 42 years – by beating Australia 38-12 in their Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.
The results means the Springboks will head to New Zealand next week at the top of the standings, one point above the All Blacks by virtue of a four-try bonus point.
Off the platform of a dominant scrum, South Africa led from start to finish, outscoring their hosts four tries to none.
The Boks were 16-6 ahead at half-time, and Australia were still in touch until the hour mark, but a disastrous last quarter for Ewen McKenzie's men saw the Boks race clear and leave the Wallabies without a single Rugby Championship point after three games under their new coach.
The Springboks got off to a great start via a try from Coenie Oosthuizen – on as a blood replacement – with a powerful drive off the back of a line-out. Morné Steyn's conversion had the Boks seven points up after as many minutes.
That early momentum was lost however when Willem Alberts saw yellow for a deliberate knock down. Christian Lealiifano slotted Australia's first points from the penalty but, after Will Genia tried to kick the ball out the back of South Africa's scrum, Steyn could reply in kind to leave the Boks 10-3 up.
A period of sustained pressure from the Wallabies resulted in just three points – Jean de Villiers penalised for slowing the ball at a ruck – and the visitors could again cancel out the Wallaby score when Quade Cooper was caught offside and Steyn split the uprights.
Another Steyn three-pointer on 34 minutes – after Israel Folau held on under pressure from Duane Vermeulen – gave the Springboks a 10-point lead with half-time looming large.
The home side had a chance to pull points back before the break but Genia chose to hunt a try from a line-out instead, but his pack didn't deliver. In fact, the Wallabies were lucky not to be trailing by more after Bismarck du Plessis knocked-on a metre from the line, before Steyn sent an effort at goal wide.
South Africa would nevertheless have been happy with their lead at the interval.
The Wallabies made the better start to the second period, forcing an early penalty at the breakdown which Lealiifano duly converted to keep his team in touch at 16-9.
But like South Africa in the first-half, the initiative was lost due to a yellow card, this time for Michael Hooper's tip tackle on Bryan Habana. Steyn sent the penalty over to restore the 10-point gap with half an hour left to play.
The kicking duel continued as Lealiifano hit the target after Flip van der Merwe shoulder checked Adam-Ashley Cooper, who was chasing a kick ahead.
The Boks would land the killer blow on the hour mark though when De Villiers scored a wonderful try. Habana burst down the touchline and chipped ahead, with the wing taken out by Cooper en route. But Juandre Kruger claimed the ball one-handed before it was recycled to the speeding De Villiers.
Steyn missed the conversion but the damage was done and the Wallabies would have to look for an extra gear to pull this one out of the fire.
Instead it was the Springboks who cut loose with Zane Kirchner and Willie le Roux combining to send the former over in the corner before the latter touched down in the same place just minutes later to seal a convincing bonus-point win.
Man of the match: A pat on the back for the entire Springbok pack, who outmuscled their opposition as required by the Heyneke Meyer blueprint for victory. Duane Vermeulen and Francois Louw were excellent once again but Bismarck du Plessis was our pick on his return to the starting XV, standing out with his sheer strength and impact at the breakdown.
Moment of the match: The Wallabies were very much still in the game until the Jean de Villiers try took the wind out of their sails.
Villain of the match: Lots of niggle, but no real nasty stuff to report.
The scorers:
For Australia:
Pens: Lealiifano 4
Yellow card: Hooper
For South Africa:
Tries: Oosthuizen, De Villiers, Kirchner, Le Roux
Cons: Steyn 3
Pens: Steyn 4
