Scholastic Announces Fiscal 2012 Results and Fiscal 2013 Outlook
Strong operating results bolstered by success of The Hunger Games
New York — July 19, 2012 — Scholastic Corporation (NASDAQ: SCHL), the global children's publishing, education and media company, today reported significant revenue and earnings growth for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. The Company also outlined its fiscal 2013 plan to continue investing in key long-term growth initiatives, including ebooks and educational technology, and to sustain operating improvements and strong free cash flow.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, revenue rose 24% to $678.5 million,from $545.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal 2011. Earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $1.86, compared to $0.83 in the prior year period, which included one-time, non-cash expenses of $0.13 per share. Strong sales in Children's Books and International, especially of The Hunger Games trilogy,again drove substantially higher results. Consolidated earnings per diluted share were $1.76in the fourth quarter, compared to $0.78 a year ago.
In fiscal 2012, revenue was $2,148.8 million, up 14% from $1,887.9 million a year ago. For the fiscal year earnings per diluted share from continuing operations were $3.41 versus $1.34 in fiscal 2011, including one-time expenses of $0.29 and $0.28 per diluted share, respectively. Consolidated earnings per diluted share were $3.21 for the fiscal year, compared to $1.16 in the prior year. In addition to Children's Books and International, fiscal 2012 operating results benefited from strong results in Educational Technology and Services.
Free cash flow for the fiscal year was $147.6 million, exceeding net income, compared to $120.5 million in fiscal 2011. At year end, cash and cash equivalents exceeded the Company's total debt by $35.6 million, compared to net debt of $98.1 million a year ago.
"Scholastic had a great fiscal 2012, with good results across the Company, bolstered by the remarkable success of The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins' bestselling trilogy, which demonstrated again the broad appeal of a superb story, well marketed and sold," commented Richard Robinson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Children's Book segment performed well overall, with multiple bestsellers in Trade and solid performance in Book Fairs also contributing growth. Additionally, we introduced Storia™, our children's ereading app and ebook system, which has received high praise from teachers, parents and technology reviewers. In Educational Technology and Services, the successful release of READ 180® Next Generation drove significantly higher profits and further strengthened our market-leading franchise. Strong operating performance, combined with cost savings and working capital management, drove substantial free cash flow, and we ended the year with an even more robust balance sheet."
Fiscal 2013 Outlook
The Company expects total revenue in fiscal 2013 of approximately $1.9 to $2.0 billion, and earnings per diluted share from continuing operations in the range of $2.20 to $2.40, before the impact of one-time items.
"While we will not repeat our record earnings from fiscal 2012, Scholastic's goal for fiscal 2013 is to sustain last year's momentum, while continuing to invest in key growth opportunities which will benefit fiscal 2014 and beyond," Mr. Robinson added. "In particular, we are excited to continue the broader roll out of Storia to teachers and parents this fall, utilizing our school channels and access to quality content. Building on the success of READ 180, we are preparing to launch major new educational technology products in fiscal 2014 that will help educators as they prepare students to meet the demands of the new Common Core State Standards. These include MATH 180™, a groundbreaking, research-based math intervention program; iREAD™, a new primary grade literacy program developed with top experts in the field; and a major next generation release of System 44®, our foundational reading and phonics program which is a prequel to READ 180."
Mr. Robinson concluded, "We expect these substantial strategic investments will generate strong profit growth beginning in fiscal 2014, though earnings in the year ahead will be lower than fiscal 2012's record level, when we benefited from the extraordinary sales of The Hunger Games. We expect to continue generating strong free cash flow in fiscal 2013, as we maintain a disciplined approach to spending and managing working capital."
The Company's outlook for fiscal 2013 includes the following key elements:
- In Children's Book Publishing and Distribution, new releases in Trade Publishing, as well as modest growth in School Book Fairs, should partially offset lower sales of The Hunger Games trilogy, which are forecast to return to pre-movie levels. Segment profits are expected to decline from fiscal 2012's level as a result.
- In Educational Technology and Services, revenue is expected to be approximately level, with a modest decline in product sales, reflecting the benefit of last year's launch of READ 180 Next Generation, offset by higher service sales. Profits should decline slightly, reflecting the shift in revenue mix as well as spending on major new products scheduled for launch in fiscal 2014.
- In International, continued improvements in the UK and growth in Asia are expected to partly offset the anticipated revenue decline versus fiscal 2012, when sales of The Hunger Games significantly benefited segment results.
Fiscal 2013 free cash flow is expected to be approximately $120 to $140 million. This outlook includes capital expenditures of $65 to $75 million, compared to $53.7 million in fiscal 2012, and pre-publication and production spending also of $65 to $75 million, compared to $58.9 million in fiscal 2012. This outlook primarily reflects increased investment in the Company's ecommerce and digital product development, including the Storia ebook system and new educational technology programs.
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Results
Children's Book Publishing and Distribution. Segment revenue in the fourth quarter was $379.4 million, compared to $268.8 million in the prior year period. Continued strong sales of The Hunger Games trilogy, in both print and ebook formats, and other bestsellers, including The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, as well as new and backlist titles in The 39 Clues®, drove significantly higher Trade Publishing results. Revenue in School Book Fairs grew modestly, with increased fair traffic boosting revenue per fair. In School Book Clubs, profits improved despite a revenue decline, reflecting decreased spending on catalogs, incentives and fulfillment. Segment operating income in the quarter was $82.4 million, compared to $41.6 million a year ago, primarily reflecting the strong Trade results.
For fiscal 2012, segment revenue was $1,111.3 million, up 21% from $922.0 million in fiscal 2011. Operating income grew to $153.0 million from $78.1 million in the prior year, which included a one-time bad debt expense of $3.5 million ($0.06 per share). Significantly better segment results were driven by Trade sales, especially of The Hunger Games trilogy, and solid performance in School Book Fairs, partially offset by higher spending on digital initiatives and higher sales tax accruals.
Educational Technology and Services.Segment revenue in the fourth quarter was $52.7 million, compared to $61.4 million in the prior period. Operating income in the quarter was $1.7 million, compared to $8.6 million a year ago. Results reflected a decline in higher-margin product sales, relative to the prior year period when READ 180 Next Generation was launched, partially offset by growth in services to a larger installed base of customers.
For the fiscal year, segment revenue was $254.7 million, up from $230.8 million a year ago, primarily reflecting robust sales of technology products, including Read 180 Next Generation, as well as double-digit growth in services. Segment operating income grew substantially as a result, to$49.2 million in fiscal 2012, compared to $38.0 million in the prior period.
Classroom and Supplemental Materials Publishing. Segment revenue in the fourth quarter was $65.6 million, compared to $65.1 million in the prior period. Higher revenue from classroom magazines was offset by an expected decline in classroom book sales. Segment operating income was $9.3 million versus $6.2 million in the prior period, which included a one-time impairment of $3.4 million ($0.06 per diluted share).
For the fiscal year, segment revenue was $208.2 million, compared to $197.2 million a year ago, reflecting increased sales of classroom magazines, as well as of classroom libraries during the first half of the year. Segment operating income was $18.3 million in fiscal 2012, up from $13.6 million in the prior period, which also included the one-time impairment charge of $3.4 million ($0.06 per diluted share).
International. Segment revenue in the fourth quarter was $152.2 million, compared to $122.0 million a year ago. Strong sales in the UK, Canada and Australia benefited in particular from The Hunger Games trilogy. Revenue also rose in Asia, partly due to strength in Singapore and India. Foreign exchange had a negative impact on revenue of $4.0 million in the period. Segment operating income was $26.8 million, compared to $16.6million in the prior period, reflecting higher sales.
For the fiscal year, segment revenue was $489.6 million, compared to $444.9 million in the prior year. The UK, Canada, Australia and Asia all experienced strong revenue growth, reflecting partly the success of The Hunger Games trilogy. Foreign exchange had a positive impact on revenue of $9.2 million in the year. Segment operating income in fiscal 2012 was $57.6 million, compared to $38.3 million in fiscal 2011, which included one-time expenses in the UK of $3.0 million ($0.09 per diluted share). Higher profits primarily reflected improved growth in segment sales, as well as operating improvements in the UK.
Media, Licensing and Advertising. Segment revenue in the fourth quarter was $28.6 million, compared to $28.0 million in the prior year period, reflecting higher sales of audio editions of The Hunger Games, partially offset by an expected decline in custom marketing programs for third-party sponsors. Segment operating loss for the quarter was $1.5 million, compared to operating profits of $3.6 million in the prior period, primarily reflecting an impairment charge taken on one of the Company's production properties.
For the fiscal year, segment revenue was $85.0 million, compared to $93.0 million in the prior year. The difference primarily reflects a planned decrease in custom marketing programs for third-party sponsors, partially offset by higher sales of interactive products. The operating loss for the segment in fiscal 2012 was $4.7 million, compared to operating profits of $3.0 million a year ago, as a result of lower sales and the impairment charge noted above.
Other Financial Results. Corporate Overhead expense was $87.1 million in fiscal 2012, compared to $67.0 million in the prior year, reflecting $15.5 million ($0.29 per diluted share) in one-time expenses from the Company's voluntary retirement programs, as well as a non-cash loss on sublease arrangements. In addition, Corporate Overhead in the current year reflected higher employee-related incentive accruals related to improved results. Corporate Overhead in the fourth quarter was $27.3 million, compared to $25.4 million in the prior period.
Across the Company, severance expense was $2.7 million in the quarter, compared to $2.4 million in the prior period; for the year it was $14.9 million, compared to $6.7 million in the prior year. Stock-based compensation expense in the quarter was $2.2 million ($0.05 per diluted share), compared to $2.6 million ($0.05 per diluted share) in the prior year period; for the year it was $12.2 million ($0.24 per diluted share) compared to $13.7 million ($0.22 per diluted share) in the prior year.
The Company's provision for income taxes resulted in an effective tax rate of 36.3% in fiscal 2012, compared to 46.1% a year ago. This decrease was primarily due to the reversal of certain valuation allowances based on higher profitability in the UK and across the Company.
As previously announced, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share on the Company's Class A and Common Stock for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The dividend is payable on September 17, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 31, 2012.
During fiscal 2012, the Company repurchased 475,672 Common shares on the open market for a total cost of approximately $13.1 million, pursuant to its current share repurchase authorization. As of May 31, 2012, approximately $31.4 million remained available for future purchases of Common shares under the current repurchase authorization.

Jawsaw-Electric Chain Saw by Acclaimed Designer
Acclaimed Designer Exhibits The Jawsaw Electric Chain Saw
The architect of the displayed project electric chain saw:JawSaw by Acclaimed Designer spells out, Our primary objective was to design a chain saw that is safer for the novice user, but also provides improved ease of use and is better adapted to the specific needs of the homeowner. For the safety concern, the chain is enclosed by a jawguard, which prevents unintended contact with the chain by the user. For improved ease of use, we introduced a proprietary, patented chain tensioning system, which prevents over-tightening of the chain, a common novice mistake, and a self-lubricating chain oiler, which many beginners tend to overlook. Finally, our re-design uses a plunge mechanism to actuate the pivoting blade, making the new design intuitive for even a first-time chain saw user..

Did you know deep purple, black and grey are perfect Halloween colors? Forget the orange, this is a quilt for a grownup Halloween holiday :) It has a spooky crazy quilt design made from Alexander Henry Ghastlie prints in smoke colors and grey, purple and black prints.
Behind each top layer of fabric there is a layer of purple flannel. Under the purple flannel is a layer of black flannel. Each seam is clipped and frayed and reveals the layers of print, purple, black and print again. The seams ruffle to give amazing color and texture to the quilt. There is no binding to this quilt, the edges are given a ruffled edge to match the seams.
Need more convincing to try this pattern? The finished quilt is reversible, just as sweet on the back as the front! Even better, you can't mess this quilt up, it's a crazy quilt! Seams don't have to be perfectly matched.
Every step in this quilt was planned to create the most beautiful quilt possible in the most efficient way possible. There are numbered steps and photographs to guide you.

Worthington Christian Schools Superintendent Bill Williams resigned Thursday night in a tumultuous meeting with parents and teachers, five months after the first of several allegations of wrongdoing at the school surfaced.
Officials with Worthington Christian and Grace Brethren Church, which is affiliated with the private school, reviewed the findings of two independent investigations at the meeting.
The school, which has several campus locations, called for the investigations in November amid allegations of inappropriate conduct toward students and harassment of staffers by Williams and two former teachers, Dwayne Smith and Jason Crary.
Smith, a former science teacher and soccer coach who admitted he had fondled a middle-school girl in 1996, also was featured in a Dispatch series, �The ABCs of Betrayal,� in October.
Williams, 52, denied the allegations, saying they had been investigated four times before by four review bodies � and each time, he had been exonerated.
�I think I could stay and flourish, but to me the expedient and honorable thing to do was to resign,� Williams said last night. �The report doesn't reflect the 21 years that I have been at the school.�
Despite the troubles, he said, Worthington Christian's enrollment has grown this school year.
Williams has worked for Worthington Christian since 1987 and has been its superintendent for four years.
Assistant Superintendent Troy McIntosh said yesterday: �The last four months have been extremely difficult for students, parents, staff and faculty. They're just difficult, weighty things we've been dealing with.�
The two reviews were by the Columbus law firm of Kegler, Brown, Hill & Ritter and by Kaye Manson Jeter, a lawyer and dean at Central State University in Wilberforce. Among the allegations reviewed:
A former Worthington Christian employee said Williams sexually harassed her in May 2005 when he patted her head, played with her hair and rubbed her arm in a meeting.
The report found no wrongdoing.
A former student said that Williams got too close to her during a tour of his home in 1992, after she had graduated from school and was married.
The report found Williams had an inappropriate emotional attachment to the girl before she graduated and never should have invited her to his home, but it said he never endangered her or any other students.
Investigators also confirmed that Smith had �illegal physical contact with a student� but said the school system, which has 1,215 children in preschool through 12th grade, never attempted to cover it up.
In 1996, Smith admitted fondling a middle-school girl. He resigned, attended Christian counseling and was forgiven by the school and Grace Brethren. He was later rehired by the school but resigned again in October after being featured in the newspaper article. He has never been charged with a crime.
Investigators also found that the school had no way of knowing that Crary had engaged in sexual conduct with a 16-year-old student while employed as a teacher in Milwaukee. Three years after hiring him, Worthington Christian officials heard Crary had been involved in something inappropriate with a former student, but they didn't have enough information to fire him, the report found.
Crary recently pleaded guilty in Wisconsin to four felony counts of sexual assault. He's free on bail until his sentencing April 3.
The report recommends that Worthington Christian beef up its background checks of potential employees, as well as its abuse and harassment policies.
The school and Grace Brethren Church also are considering several other steps, including creating a school governing board of church elders that would have more oversight, said Daniel R. Swetnam, the school's attorney. �We have a great school, students and parents,� he said.
But Tim Ball, whose son graduated from Worthington Christian High School last year, says he'll continue to urge other parents to pull out their children. �Bill Williams was completely aware our kids were in danger for 10 years from multiple molesters, and to me that would have been enough to fire him if he hadn't resigned,� Ball said.

Burglars damage Community Park in Perry County
Troopers estimate the damage at $1,500
Pennsylvania State Police are investigating a burglary at the Carroll Township Community Park on the 400 block of Burn Hill Road in Perry County.
Over the last week, the park's concession stand and two sheds were broken into, according to police.
Police say the intruders entered both sheds by forcing the locks open using a metal stake found at the park. They moved a metal picnic table to the side of the concession stand..
Police say a 2-by-6 plank was used to smash the second-floor window after the protective fence covering the window was unhooked. The suspects then entered through that window and removed an Epson projector and the inflatable screen.
When they went down to the first floor, they drank some beers and sodas, according to police. They stuffed several plastic cups in the microwave and tried to melt them, which damaged both the microwave and cups inside.
The metal picnic table was returned to the front of the concession stand.
Anyone with information is asked to contact State Police or Carroll Township.
Troopers estimate the damage to be $1,500.

How Do You Do It?
I have a question for believers. I don't mean churchgoers, or everyday people who give lip service to being sort of fans of the symbol of Jesus. This is for believers.
How do you masturbate?
Now, if you answer "I don't masturbate," your answer doesn't count. That's because you would be lying, and since you really believe in God, then you would be lying about masturbating in front of Jesus, who watches you pulling on your monkey, with tears in His Holy Eyes.
So how do you masturbate? How can you have sex with someone else? HOw can you concentrate enough to have an orgasm. Christian ladies, I'm talking to you. You know that for us gals, we have to shut our minds off a great deal in order to have an orgasm. But how can you do that, when Jesus is watching? Jesus is everywhere, and He is crouching down at the edge of your bed, peering directly into your crotch while you buzz away with your Walmart "foot massager," $19.99. When you say, "Oh God, oh Jesus, Oh God," he is saying, "Yes, Mary Katherine? Yes, Jennifer? Yes, LeVanya? I am here! I am listening! I am avoiding that tidal wave of Womanneed coming from between those tatooed thighs!"
What is your answer to Jesus? An emotionless mop-up with a dirty towel, or a prayer of thanksgiving? I want to know. Write me a comment, or send me your anonymous reply to email@example.com . Because I'm a dirty atheist voyeur.

I love you Alleee. Get your fine ass over here to NYC for some hot barely legal heterosexual girl on heterosexual girl action!

LOL!!!! This reminds me of a funny story.
Once over at Christianforums.com, a nonbeliever posted a thread in the "christian advice" forum. He asked if masturbation was a sin. Some Christians got in there and told him it was and that God disapproved of it.
I then went in and posted a medical article that showed that if a man does not ejaculate regularly, it increases his chances of prostate cancer. I then asked why God wants us to get prostate cancer?
This got me in big trouble and I got warned. LOL!
- Hellbound Alleee said...
`Tis true. A gal needs to pay regular attention to her pussy to keep it healthy and pink and muscular. Regular orgasms keep the good hormones going--the kinds of hormones that help you feel safe and calm. There is no danger from the Female Orgasm, regardless of what the christians might say. In fact, discussion of any orgasm is a sure way to make a christian turn red and run away. A great tool to keep anyone's front stoop Christian free!
You have a disturbed, sin-addled mind, Alleee. Apparently your quotidian Onanism has seeped its corruption into your logic circuits, my darling little Darwinian chem-bot. Sin is sin because of the wages of sin -- and the wages of masturbation are confused thinking, divorce from God, and mental, physical, and spiritual degeneration. You may be too far gone.
Let me point out your confusion. First you claim that all who claim not to masturbate are liars. Then you claim that masturbation is impossible for a Christian woman. Hereby you demonstrate the sort of paradoxical two-sided attack on Christianity described by Chesterton, the sort that undermines skepticism, not orthodoxy.
For you to claim that all women masturbate is for you to claim that not only are you an atheist (which I doubt), but also an omniscient one, which I know is impossible. I'd invite you into my life, if you like, to watch me go through my paces, to assure that never do I go and degrade myself in the way you seem to cherish.
Do I experience temptation? Of course I do. But I feel safe when I can deflect that temptation towards something holy, such as a sudden veneration of the divine attributes of our blessed Lord Jesus. I turn the onset of orgasm into a sorrowful lament on the sufferings of our dear Saviour, on the piety of His blessed Virgin Mother; or perhaps my contemplation turns to the courageous visage of the the late Pope John Paul II, or his faithful and brilliant successor, Pope Benedict XVI. What glory we have in our Church! what wonderful sufferings are there for our eternal gaze! What a ship of martyrs, saints, and wise men! I'm so proud to be Catholic, and so proud to live a life outside of sin's grasp! I hope one day you can say the same!
(By the way, lost little Alleee, I heard your vile outburst against me on your so-called radio show. But don't worry, all is forgiven. It only demonstrates what a two-faced little twinkie you are. You can enjoy your revolting "heterosexual" lesbian encounter without me.)
- Hellbound Alleee said...
>>you claim that masturbation is impossible for a Christian woman.<<
I never did! I innocently asked how you, Maureen, manage to masturbate when you know that Jesus watches everything you do! So, what do you like, Maureen? Do you prefer the more quitet Wahl model, or do you need something more hardcore for your cunt, like a big black silicone dildo with pulsating action, the kind that can sand floors? I'm willing to bet you go for the latter. Fingers just can't do it for you anymore, More-Een.
>>I'd invite you into my life, if you like, to watch me go through my paces<<
Even I, Hellbound Alleee, am not kinky enough to watch the disgusting things you do, Maureen. I'm starting to think you might be more kinky than I first assumed.
>>never do I go and degrade myself<<
Then you're not a True Catholic. Why don't you want to be more like Jesus?
>>Do I experience temptation? Of course I do<<
Like right now, baby? Come on over!
>>I turn the onset of orgasm into a sorrowful lament on the sufferings of our dear Saviour, on the piety of His blessed Virgin Mother;<<
So you DO degrade yourself! I can see it now, and it isn't pretty.There you are, buzzing away on your sopping pearl, about to go over that crest, and you add something even more exciting into the midst, to help you achieve one of those hard, pounding orgasms: the thought of Jesus' suffering. Now that I think of it, it sounds pretty good--for a Sado-Masochist. You know, you could do better for yourself and imagine someone who suffered for more than a day, like a child with cancer, or Anne Frank. She suffered a lot more than Jesus, thereby allowing you greater masturbatory fantasies.
>>perhaps my contemplation turns to the courageous visage of the the late Pope John Paul II, or his faithful and brilliant successor, Pope Benedict XVI<<
So, you look at magazine pictires, or did you get yourself a couple of Pope RealDolls to hump? Honey, I can think of something a bit more attractive to look at. But if old, diseased, barely alive Fundamentalist men are your thing...you could try the local nursing home. I bet they'd be willing to help you out, to ease the monotony.
>>a two-faced little twinkie<<
My little twinkie only has one face. How many does your have? Eew. Glad you're a big fan of my show! Tell all your friends, you little pervert. I mean, you little "heterosexual" pervert. (After all, you like to fantasize about bloody, diseased and dead men.)
Now get your hand out of your panties.
You like kinky stories, you little slut? Well, let me tell you one: I am a sinner. We are all sinners. Every human being throughout history has sinned -- with two exceptions (Jesus and Mary, you heathens).
The Catholic Church is the only barque of truth, the only place to go to understand man's sinful nature. Does self-abuse (euphemisms not appreciated) exist in the Catholic community? Sadly, yes. I like to think it is less of a problem than elsewhere, because at least we acknowledge it to be a mortal, soul-shattering, damnable sin. Have I ever abused myself, in the darkness of my room, as a young student, confused and lonely? That's for me to share with my priest only -- not for your voyeuristic snout to sniff at, vain hussy. I can assure you that I do not waste my time on carnal fixations, the way you do, with your Satanic tools and implements. I live a pure life, and the gross and revolting "pleasures" you pursue have no place in it. I prefer to get my kicks from the glory of the Mass, the contemplation of God's supreme majesty, and a profound admiration for the Church's moral teachings.
Sometimes, unfortunately, it becomes necessary for a Christian woman to disrobe in order to bathe, to excrete, or to procreate. Some virtuous but naive maidens have been known to take "precautions" to ensure that God and His angels are not looking upon them when this happens. This is both futile, and thankfully unnecessary. We can shield nothing from God; but our blessed Saviour is a upright God, who turns away tactfully when indiscrete acts are being comitted in the sacrament of marriage. However, when you take one of your vicious vibrators to your sacred temple (l'origine du monde!) and pleasure yourself wantonly, you can be sure that Jesus is watching, angrily, recording the revolting act, which will be displayed before everyone you know when you reach the judgement of Peter. You will be condemned before all and sent away to eternal hellfire -- unless you accept the teachings of Christ church, accept the forgiveness of his ministers, and perform acts of contrite penance.
Here is away to begin, my child. Repeat after me: Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Finally, I shall leave you with some writings of mine that touch (indirectly and discreetly) on this delicate topic:
"My point is that sin never makes anyone a better person. We don't need a resume of great sins to acknowledge the difficult and painful path of conversion. A sinful past doesn't make us more sympathetic to the plight of other sinners. What provides us with this empathy isn't the atrocity of sin. Instead, it is the grace of redemption. We are born into a world where sinlessness is an impossibility. Literally, we are born into sin with the mark of original disobedience engraved on our souls and our bodies. The simple awareness of our own complicity with sin should be enough to grant us a humble heart. The reality that it doesn't is enough to convict us.
A case in point: To the best of my knowledge, and according to all the traditions of the Church, Mary the mother of Jesus and the Queen of Angels was the only 'only-human' person that never sinned. Because she, like our first parents, was born free of original sin, she was also absolutely free to assent to or dissent from the will of God. Her path was the complete consent of total obedience. Yet significantly, Mary in her sinlessness is known as the Saint of those most in need of salvation. Her very sinlessness makes her open and receptive to the anguish of sinners. In a sense, she has no agenda of complicity in sin. She is free to see clearly the terrible damage that sin inflicts on the agent of sin as well as on his victims."
There is hope for you, Alleee, although you remain a hellbound whore in your present state.
Blessings and benedictions upon you.
(PS Don't insult our Holy Fathers of the Church unless you can demonstrate that you are in anyway less sinful than they. I didn't think so.)
(PPS Don't trivialize the Crucifixion by comparing it with the so-called Holocaust and the alleged "sufferings" of the legendary Anne Frank. Should one experience more sorrow while contemplating the very real agonies of the Son of God, or while listening to regurgitations of the hyped-up anti-German propaganda of Eleanor Roosevelt and her cabal? Some "skeptics" you are.)
(PPPS Dear Aaron: Enjoy your prostrate while you can keep it. It'll serve you very poorly in hell.)
- bleedingisaac said...
You know, I think you are onto something here, Alleee. I think there is a Christian sex industry that is going untapped.
Christians have a subculture for everything. There are Christian cartoons, Christian music, Christian television stations, and even Christian motorcycle gangs. But I don't know of anyone who has gotten into the Christian Porn industry!
Seriously, in our movies, we could start out at a wedding chapel. The couple would be very young (you tend to marry young when you aren't having sex and don't diddle yourself). We go from there to the honeymoon suite. The couple has prayer together at the side of the bed. Music starts [What would Christian porn music sound like? I think we could keep the Wah uh, Wah uh sounds but we could add a pipe organ.]. The husband leaves the room and his new wife undresses (under the sheets, of course). The husband walks in with boxers on. He dives quickly under the sheets with his wife. There are three seconds of flurry under the cover (Come on, twenty years without sex or masturbation, what do you expect?), and they roll off of each other and pray again. It would take a lot of these to fill a tape, but who could resist?
I feel bad that you are taunting Maureen about the dildo, though. Seriously, it's not her fault. The sex industry has not caught up with her desires. The problem is that vibrators are all shaped like penises. This would certainly offend her religious sensibilities. In my new niche market, my vibrators will be little icons of the pope. Have you seen that hat! I think I could rival "the rabbit" with that thing. The old pope trembled so much, his version would be extremely life-like.
Maureen, I'm going to need some investors. Can you get me in touch with your church? I was thinking maybe the youth group could do a car wash or bake sale. We could call our fundraisers "Porn for Piety."
Seriously, call me.
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Bleeding Isaac and Maureen :
Why yes, there is such an option:
http://www.divine-interventions.com Divine Interventions!
There's God's Immaculate Rod, the Diving Nun, the Virgin Mary, http://www.divine-interventions.com/jackhammer.html. Jesus , Baby Jesus, Moses, the Devil, and so on.
No longer is Catholic sex play done with dangerous wooden crosses or inferior light-up plastic characters (those Catholics lost all sense of artistic taste since the mid-1800's and now all they can do is schlock)! Now they have silicone.
PS: The pope is a piece of fallible human shit. And he's a total idiot, Maureen. And you esteem him. Which makes you an idiot. But since you're insane, I forgive you, you little zombie slut. I can almost smell the dried blood and incense. Phew!
- Bliggety Blast Circle said...
OK, now that I have read a few of Maureen's comments....there is no way she is for real. No one could be that pious and and have no self-awareness at all. I just can't believe it. I'd put her on the same level as the Hashishan dude. She spouting off for attention. I am trying to make myself believe all this, so please don't burst my bubble.
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Well, you have a point, Europe-bound. It's not very often that you get such articulateness from a Christian.
She really is clever and smart! But many insane people are extremely bright individuals.
Just remember: she is here for our entertainment purposes only. Do not argue against her cartoon world logically. On the other hand, I am here to entertain her. She asks for it, I try to give her twice as much entertainment as she asks. She wants me to blaspheme the holy ghost, I tell her he is a big fat child rapist. It's just that easy! She is definitely getting a lot of attention, but that's not a bad thing. Remember:
the more time she spends in here telling me I'm a perverted slut and that Aaron's prosTRATE (sic) is going to hell, the less time she has to borrow the innocent passers-by on her street corner. The one with her shopping-cart full of garbage bags and a torn little raggedy-ann doll she calls "Pope Benedict."
- Aaron Kinney said...
I sure will enjoy it! And I want to point out something to you:
A God that makes excess orgasms simultaneously 1) a sin, and 2) necessary for healthy living, is the epitome of evil.
Maureen, your sick twisted God, by necessity, is way more evil than Satan. God created evil.Isaiah 45:7 Lamentations 3:38
But if you knew anything about reliaty Maureen, you would know that there is no afterlife, just like there is no beforelife.
Kinda funny to see you speaking so harshly against sex when your Catholic belief system is falling to pieces over sex scandals. How many bankruptcies now? The Dioceses are falling like dominoes!
One question: Would you still leave your children unsupervised with a Catholic Priest in wake of what your faith tends to do to the minds of those that dedicate their lives to the service of it? And think of all the consentual sex that occurs between the adults... the nuns, the priests. My God! It must be straight up Grecian in those Cathedrals!
All of us sexually healthy sinners will continue to enjoy life until the day we no longer exist. You only got one life to live Maureen. Sucks for you that you arent living it!
- Aaron Kinney said...
Maureen said:
..never do I go and degrade myself in the way you seem to cherish.
Then she said this:
I turn the onset of orgasm into a sorrowful lament on the sufferings of our dear Saviour
LOL! Guilt tripping herself out of an orgasm. Thats not degrading! :P{
Dear Dimwits,
I'm sorry to ruin your party, but:
I'm not a joke,
You're all going to face eternal judgement, one way or the other.
The good news is that by bearing the cross of our saviour, Lord Jesus, we can be redeemed and ushered into the gates of heaven. Should I care about your fates? Maybe. Do I? Not at all. You're all smart enough, with your ape-evolved neurons and your happy postmodern epistemologies, to have made an investigation of the fides et ratio foundations of the Christian system, which has captivated the mind of every honest inquisitor -- and your rejection thereof only serves to demonstrate your willful, sinful disregard for your salvation. So be it. As I said, I'll be happier in heaven standing apart from your belial-begotten stench.
The Catholic Church is facing one of the most painful periods of persecution in its history -- and I for one am going to stand up and DEFEND my faith. You can weasel your way out of it by calling me a joke, or a pervert, or a fool -- but your entire existence is a mockery of the purpose God intended you for, your emotions and passions are merely the perversions of apes and demons, and the wisdom you profess is merely the folly of the Devil. I wish I could just wish you away -- or rather, I wish the temporal arm of the Holy Inquistion was operational, to deal with you the only effective known way -- but be these catastrophes as they may, I will wage war against heresy and perversion with all the arms of rhetoric and and the armor of faith.
Christendom is under assault from the Asiatic hordes of Islam, and it faces decay from the corruptions of our pseudo-intellectuals. I apply the wisdom of Aquinas, the genius of Augustine, and piety of Theresa to this crusade. You are defeated where you stand.
Angels and ministers of the Lord, avant!

Aaron said: But if you knew anything about reality Maureen, you would know that there is no afterlife, just like there is no beforelife.
That's not true. The souls of babies come from The Guff, e treasure chest full of souls. It was almost empty at one point, but Demi Moore fixed that all up by letting a mentally handicapped kid get the death penalty. It's True! I saw it on T.V.!
- Bliggety Blast Circle said...
I wish the temporal arm of the Holy Inquistion was operational
But orgasms are sin? How about wishing ill will on your neighbors? That one get deleted? I missed the memo, I'll have to write the Grand Inquisitor for an update.
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Guys, guys, she denies the suffering of the holocaust, she wishes we were tortured here and in hell forever, and she masturbates to Popes. What does that tell you?
Obviously she's either a brilliant hoaxer or completely and utterly, droolingly insane.
Maureen, you can come clean now. You're obviously a dirty atheist just like the rest of us. Either that, or you derive some great pleasure out of hanging out with us here.
If you are really who you say you are, what are you going to tell your priest about what you've been doing, hanging around with us dirty scum stinking heathens? You're thrilled, aren't you, crazy lady? You're getting so much pleasure out of this, it's building up inside you.
What are you wearing? You are a little vixen, aren't you?
Alleee & co., you insist on procaiming the Lord God evil and Christianity a hoax -- so why don't I turn the tables on you?
I believe that the moral law was founded by God alone, for His own inscrutable purposes. He is the definition of good; and whosoever trespasses against His will is evil. Quite simple, really. But if you don't believe in God, what conceivable foundation is there for ny moral system? Prove that you believe in atheism by mutilating your neighbours and raping your family. If you can't do this, then you are lying about your faith.
I know that you are the hoaxer, Alleee, though not a brilliant one. You are halfway to an utterly debauched existence; but your hesitant steps indicate that there is still some growling knowledge in your wee skull that God exists and that he stands ready to consign you the gaping maw of hell.
If you will not follow God than you will follow the Devil -- there are no other choices. Muslims (like those charmers in London) are worshippers and idolators of Allah and Mahomet, two of the foulest cacodemons to ever step foot out of riotous hell into the God-voided sands of Arabia. You worship your mini-Satans by the fistful -- your vile Voltaire, your gangrenous Godwin, your diseased Darwin. You're all cut from the same cloth, and one Hellbound Alleee is equal to one Osama bin Laden, or one Saddam Hussein; one Hindoo huckster, or one Protestant prostitute. Without the Lord and His holy bride, the Roman Catholic Church, we are utterly worthless.
Do you have any arguments against me, or just your perverted fantasies about me? I can scarcely be considered a vixen. I've been described as "matronly," and I was born well before the eucatastrophe that was Vatican II. Currently, I'm wearing a plaid wool skirt, a white frilly blouse, and some slippers that I bought at Payless. I don't see why you should care.
I have spoken to my priest about your website, and he was just as concerned as I was. He's given me a few pointers on apologetics -- it's easier than you might think.
In Christ,
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Simple. There is no moral foundation with a god. What possible reason would anyone have of wanting to be moral when the Christian God exists? Prove you're a Catholic and saved by going out and murdering people, and then repent like the coward you are.
If you resist murder for the only reason that God will damn you for it, you are truly more depraved than anyone. Think about it, Maureen. Why do good things? God is not the answer, Maureen. There are many reasons to do good. I prove I am an atheist every day by living a moral life. Your immorality proves you are a True Christian.
Fuck your apologetics. I have an answer for every one of your feeble attempts, Maureen. It's called Strong Atheism. http://www.strongatheism.net .
Anyway, I'm tired of you. Your descriptions of the character "Maureen" are blatantly stereotypical . You can do better than that, fraud.
Your time here is over. all you can do is spout your depravity. There are many other more interesting christians out there to abuse, and I'm sure they're in line. Good Bye, crazy lady.
- Bliggety Blast Circle said...
As far as things go, since I started reading here, you owe a FEW people apologies. Not just for the nonsensical ramblings with far too many adjectives, but the fact that you have yet to say anything intelligible. I compared you to that Hashishan wingnut in all seriousness. You don't seem to grasp the fact that we(or I, if you like) do not attack your specific beliefs. Your beliefs are just as rediculous as the space cadet, hashishan and Tom Cruise. I swear you must spend half your time at dictionary.com looking for synonyms so you don't run out of descriptive words for athiests. Your understanding of other religions is uninformed and self-serving. And don't forget that you lump protestants in with athiests and all other beliefs. To top all that off, you don't know the difference between "then" and "than, one of my pet peeves(butchering of syntax). Next you'll use the word "definately".
- Hellbound Alleee said...
We`ve been bamboozled, but it`s been a fun ride. Perhaps "maureen" can come join us again with her alliterations that she learned from me, back when she was the Hashish Princess. Until then, she can pack up the "wool skirt, frilly blouse, and Payless slippers" and don a pair of leather chaps, leather hat, boots and a mustache and pretend to be a gay leather guy.
"Maureen," your drag is tired. You could have tried to be more realistic, but you had to throw in that church lady costime. Now I know you are just acting. Why don't you tell us who you really are, or, at the very least, try a new one?
- Bliggety Blast Circle said...
Alleee, did you see the "I quit" post from Maureen? What happened to it? There isn't even a "post deleted by" entry....weird.
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Oh, yes. I deleted it. That's because I said Maureen was done and I meant it. I'm tired of it, as I said before. She can come back as a new character, but Maureen is over.
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Don't forget: she left us her email addy:
- Aaron Kinney said...
Hey I just realized, you got alot of comments on this blog entry. SEX SELLS!
Wow Hellbound! It looks like you really get into the whole role playing thing when it comes to sex! It's quite a turn on to a horny (alas, happily married) atheist like myself. I believe Maureen was being serious, but then it's not that hard to fool me. It made me question why Jesus cares that much about masturbating (let alone all sex). And it is unfortunate many christians like her are looking forward to spending eternity listening to the screams of unbelievers down below. How can anyone think that is heaven, let alone desire it? That is demented desire for revenge and retribution for what? Someone saying you're crazy for believing in god? Talk about insecurity. It must take a twisted, feeble, rotten, perverted, confused, sadistic, mind (since you are so fond of superfluous words) to think that way.
Ms. Alleee,
Why do you think that the Lord has something against humans enjoying sex if they are married? Sex between a husband and wife was originally made to be an intimate, two person worship event and for the procreation of life. As for masturbation and not getting prostate cancer, what do you think wet dreams exist?!
Ms. Alleee,
*...exist for?!* ...They were not designed to cause embarassment. Skewed human perspective has left us to wallow in unmerited prudishness.
- Hellbound Alleee said...
Christianity promotes shame, plain and simple. Shame for being human and low in the "eyes" of God. Or "the Lord," as you so quaintly put it.
The "scripture" also promotes the hatred of homosexuality. It promotes the killing of homosexuals as well as the killing of adulteresses. It doesn't promote the enjoyment of sex between husbands and wives, Maureen. It promotes men having as many wives and, of course, as many children as possible. Not the enjoyment of sex. The catholic church outlaws the use of contraceptives and takes away the rights of a woman to her own reproduction. That's as anti-sex as it gets. It outlawed the use of sex toys as a frightening and pagan act. It denies the existence of the female orgasm.
Do you know that women have orgasms, Maureen? It's true. And orgasm comes from clitoral stimulation, which is pretty damned tricky through penis insertion. Christianity pro-sex? The Hindus leave you in the dirt, Maureen.
If christianity was pro-sex, it would also be pro moral autonomy for women.
No more posts from you, Maureen. I'm being nice.

Her name is bummed.
Emmy-winning actress Jaime Pressly was formally charged Tuesday with misdemeanor drunken driving in connection with her Jan. 5 arrest in southern California, The Associated Press reported.
Deputy Santa Monica DA Melanie Skehar told the wire service Pressly, 33, was charged with driving under the influence and for having a blood alcohol limit of .20 or higher.
U.S. & World
The ex-"My Name is Earl" star faces up to six months in the clink, if convicted, though she could end up serving less time for alcohol-education classes and the lot, according to E! News.
She will reportedly be arraigned on Monday.
The charges come less than two weeks since Pressly announced she'd pulled the plug on her marriage to entertainment lawyer Simran Singh, her hubby of a little more than a year.
Pressly latest string of bad news also includes being in the sights of the IRS for allegedly owing $637,000 in back taxes to the government, according to E!

Newbie questions, aren't always treated as gracefully by everyone in the group, but it really depends on the question. It would be a good idea to mention that you have read the Newbie Resouces and/or exhausted your resources so that the regulars know you at least have some background on the question you're asking. It's frustrating for many to spend time replying with good advice only to find the person incapable of taking advantage of that advice, it's a waste. A little respect for those who are willing to spend their time paying attention to your needs or problems can go a long way, IOW the respect will be returned. BTW an introduction along with a question gets very good results:-) Now here are some resources to get you started.

The post will not be archived by DejaNews, etc. **Hints** Get PGP but don't install it or unzip it. Get Private Idaho version 2.8b3, don't get a previous release. Release 3.4t works very good but handles a little differently than 2.8b3, Installation is the same. Read any readme and other files you can find with Private Idaho before installing it. Part of the installation of Private Idaho can include letting Private Idaho install PGP for you. See the !! INSTALL-PI/PGP-O-RAMA !! post for installing and configuring Private Idaho and PGP. See the !! NYM-O-RAMA !! post for setting up a nym. Both are posted occasionally to adpc. Private Idaho version 3.3t may not be addressed in these posts. The menu structure and mail operations are different, and the program is currently evolving to quickly to keep any documentation current. It works well though. My advice is not to start off setting up a nym or using encryption, it'll just get you in deep water. First- get PI to work with straight email, without any encryption, just straight email. Send yourself a couple messages and receive them with your regular email program to confirm it's working OK. Then make sure PI can interface with your browser. Then click on the Remailers|Update Remailer Info menu options while online to make sure the remailer data is fresh (you will do that frequently). You'll see the date under the remailer box change. Second- Use PI to write a small message, encrypt it, and send it to yourself. Then use the PI Message|Scan for PGP Messages menu options to scan your mailserver for the PGP message (PI 3.3t works differently). Then do the same through one of the remailers. When you have received the message in PI and decrypted it then you can start in on the wonderful world of nyms:-) ********************************************** Posting Courtesies ********************************************** If you reply to a post, try to at least quote (paste) the paragraph from the post you're reading into the message you're writing. Without that quote, folks reading just your reply have no clue as to the question or comment you're replying to. In many cases there isn't even a reference for one to find the original post. Out of thread replies make it difficult to keep continuity in the threaded messages for someone following that thread. Having the Subject header "exactly" the same "almost" guarantees your reply will be listed on a news reader under the thread you're replying to. If your news reader (or other programs you use to post anonymously) can't manage the References: and Message-ID: headers to make your replies stay with the thread on a news server header list, try to at least copy & paste the Subject: header. If it doesn't start with "Re: " type that in at the beginning of the line. If you reply to a post with the "x-no-archive: yes" header, honor the posters wish to remain un-archived. Do this by either carrying that same header to your post, or by anonymizing references to the original poster in your reply. For more on USENET netiquette and posting see the following newsgroups: news.announce.newusers mews.mewusers.questions news.answers ********************************************** Posting Pictures (binaries) Anonymously ********************************************** adpc is a non-binary news group. To post pictures anonymously for use with adpc, use a UUEncoder to convert the picture to a .uue text file. Paste the text of that file into the body of your anon message, then post the message anonymously as you usually do. There may be other ways to do the same, but this does work. There doesn't have to be any explanitory text with the posted picture. Post it to alt.binaries.pictures.misc (or another suitable binary NG if that one is not on your news server) and prefix the subject line with "adpc" so our pics will be listed together on the server. eg - Subject: adpc yadayada Once the picture shows up on your server, then make a post to adpc indicating the exact subject line, binary newsgroup, and (if possible) the Message-ID of the binary post along with the reason why you want the NG to look at it. The easiest way to do this is to copy/paste those three headers directly from the binary post when you check your server. I think most news readers would see that picture as an attachment. If yours does not, save the file to disk. Then use your UU decoder to convert the file to its image format to view it. Make sure your picture contains no identifying objects, like your face. In any case, I'll include the URl's to several UU encoder/deencoder programs mentioned in this news group. UUDeview (16 or 32 bit) http://www.miken.com/uud Wincode (16 bit only) http://www.members.global2000.net/snappy/wincode.html I admit I don't know much about the intricacies of the many MIME formats, or the plethora of email and news reader programs that use them to various extents. I simply wanted to find a way to post an image using the identical software I already use to post anonymously to adpc, and still use PGP encryption, nyms, and remailers to preserve my anonymity. The above definitely works with Private Idaho (and should work with any mail program), but PIs message box has a 32k size limit. Encrypted images larger than that would need to be broken into smaller pieces and posted as separate messages with PI. This is very inconvenient for both the poster and the reader. The good news is that Jack B Nymble will do all the above without any need for an external UUEncoding application (its built-in to JBN), it will handle image files just like your email program handles attachments, AND it will handle messages well beyond PIs 32k limits. JBN is a very powerful Win95 anonymity/security resource which I haven't even begun to fully understand. I do know this. I have set JBNs attachment encoding mode to UUEncode, attached a 33k jpg image file, and the attached image was automatically converted to ASCII text before being encrypted for the nym and remailers. And it was all done behind the scenes with JBNs built-in UUEncode function, and with no further action on my part. The resulting 50k encrypted message was posted successfully and anonymously. Below are remailer and nymserver message length stats. Jack B Nymble for Win95 (or Potato for DOS) http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/4362 --snip-- Message Length Remailer Stats Tested Reported Remailer Maximum Maximum -------------------------------------------------------- Nym 1000K N 1000K Redneck 1000K N 1000K Cracker 1000K 1000K Htp 1000K Squirrel 500K* 1000K Mix 500K* Privacy 500K* Replay 500K* Winsock 500K* Reno 500K* M Jam 500K* M Tea 500K* M Neva 200K Bureau42 100K Arrid 50K 60K Htuttle 50K 60K Hera 50K 60K * - No tests larger than the listed Tested Maximum were conducted. The actual maximum may be higher. M - A Middleman remailer - messages are sent via another remailer. Note that this limits message size to the remailer it chains to, which generally varies. N - A pseudo-anonymous nymserver. The above chart shows what size messages were successfully delivered by cypherpunk remailers. This data is a composite of several tests conducted in the last few months. Notes: When data is PGP encrypted, it is compressed. This may affect your results. The above tests were conducted using precompressed radix-64 garbage. Encoding (attaching) any binary file (PGP ascii armor, UUE, MIME, etc.) may cause it to inflate by as much as 40%. Each additional remailer in a chain increases the message length for the first remailers.

A new Russia? (part 2)
Issued on: Modified:
It's 20 years to the day since the Soviet Union was officially dissolved. But to mark the anniversary there were neither commemorations nor speeches. The mood in Russia is one of defiance. Never since Vladimir Putin came to power 12 years ago, has he faced such strong opposition. On Saturday the protest movement gathered tens of thousands of people in Moscow. Is this the beginning of a new era, in which Vladimir Putin no longer reigns supreme?

Young adult clothing retailer, rue21, opened its new store inside Westfield Group's Sarasota Square Mall Thursday.
This is the apparel chain's first store to open in Sarasota County. rue21, known for its affordable prices on young women's and men's fashion pieces, opened a store in the Port Charlotte Town Center last year.
rue21 is the first of several discount apparel stores that are slated to open in Sarasota Square Mall. H&M will open its second store in Southwest Florida inside Sarasota Square Mall in mid-May. F21 Red, a new cheaper concept by Forever 21, is opening its first store in the Southwest Florida market at Sarasota Square in the fall.
Old Navy should open in August.
rue21 operates more than 1,000 stores in 47 states, including an outlet store inside the Ellenton Premium Outlets and a storefront at the Westfield Brandon Town Center.

Airport conducts emergency crash drill
Local and federal agencies respond in simulated crisis situation
If an airplane crashed at Plattsburgh International Airport, would response teams be ready?
Using the WPTZ Mobile App? Click here to watch video from the safety demonstration.
Saturday, Plattsburgh International and Clinton County Emergency Services crews were put to the test as part of an airline mishap drill.
"We are required to have an emergency services plan and by FAA regulation we are required to exercise that plan once every 36 months," said Airport Manager Chris Kreig.
Each of the 70 volunteers was given a card describing their injuries.
Crews were told only that there was a crash due to a mechanical failure.
And it was up to them to assess the situation and respond accordingly.
"We're reenacting a broken airplane crash really. You've got one section of the plane over here and another section over there and this is basically what would have been the middle of the airplane when it snapped on impact," said Paul Allen, a volunteer victim.
Crews that responded Saturday were told that the crash was caused by some sort of mechanical failure, but there are lots of reasons for plane crashes. Airports are also required to do emergency drills for accidents caused by other reasons, like inclement weather.
A number of agencies took part in the drill including the TSA, Homeland Security, state police, the Red Cross, the local sheriff and area fire departments.
"It's an excellent training opportunity for all these agencies to come out and work on their plans and ya know integrate their plan into the exercise," said Kreig.
Many of the volunteers that acted as victims said that participating in the drill made them feel a little safer using the airport.

I haven't been posting much lately. I haven't had the inspiration or time to get anything worthwhile written and I never wanted to fill this space with game recaps everyday- you can get those other places. I'll be back when there is big news or if the muse strikes me. Until then I'm always on twitter @TheRealDavidK. Thanks for reading.

blink-182 mends fences, back on tour
Blink-182 has come a long way since going from ruling skate parks to becoming the SoCal kings of pop-punk. After Green Day and the Rancid/Epitaph Records explosion carried punk rock back to the mainstream in 1994, blink-182's 1999 release, Enema of the State, introduced a new wave of youth to catchy, angst-driven music.
On Enema, the band — Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker — embraced the pop side of pop-punk, scoring its biggest hits and becoming a household name outside the Warped Tour crowd.
In 2004, at the height of the band's popularity and artistic execution, guitarist DeLonge quit the band, claiming he was burned out. After Barker survived a 2008 plane crash, DeLonge reached out to his estranged bandmates. The rest is reunion history. Following five years of being apart as a band and friends, the three have begun to mend their relationship.
"It has been easy … organic," DeLonge said. "I think we had initial conversations and right away put everything in perspective, and everyone was instantly fine with the years that have passed. The best thing for us to do was to get on our instruments and start playing because that is where we felt the chemistry (would) come right back out again."
Numerous rehearsal sessions and high-profile late-night TV gigs have the power trio gearing up for a return to being a fully functional band. While initial performances appeared off, the band is slowly hitting its stride as a live act once again.
"I think that, to be honest, in many ways, it comes so naturally. ... Getting us in front of an audience is the truest way to get the band firing on all cylinders," DeLonge said.
The highly anticipated reunion tour spans more than 50 North American dates and features an elaborate stage setup, put together by the same team that worked on Kanye West's acclaimed Glow in the Dark tour. The band hopes to release new single Up All Night sometime after the tour.
"(Up All Night) sounds like the missing track of our last 'untitled' album," DeLonge said. "It has elements of Pink Floyd, Rush and even Boxcar Racer and Quicksand all in the same song. I think people are going to love it."
DeLonge's post-blink endeavor, the ambitious arena-rock opus, Angels and Airwaves, will still function as a band even though blink-182 is the priority.
"(Angels and Airwaves) is my life; blink is being written into it," DeLonge said. "(Angels and Airwaves) will pick up full speed after the blink tour. I mean, there is still a whole future to be written with blink, we just don't know exactly what it is and how it works yet. I'm just trying to get this blink tour to be the best it can be first."
After the blink-182 tour, DeLonge plans to release a new Angels and Airwaves album, Love, to coincide with the documentary/movie of the same name, which will all be released for free on Valentine's Day 2010.
"It is the work of my life, absolutely, and I think people are going to freak out when they see the film and what it is all about, and it is definitely worth the wait," DeLonge said. "No band does this. No band has ever done this; I think it is very revolutionary. I'm excited."
In his time off the stage, DeLonge formed Modlife, an online subscription service that allows bands and other multi-media artists their own user sites to connect with fans, stream live concerts and post their own music. DeLonge's shoe company, Macbeth footwear, has also grown its line of artist-inspired vegan-friendly shoes.
"We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff," DeLonge said. "It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history."
The tour stops at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and fans can expect a setlist rich in the band's catalog.
"We have so many singles, we are going to power through those," said DeLonge.
As the blink-182 matures to even more of a power trio, the band still looks forward to playing the older songs like Carousel and Josie that made them staples in the SoCal punk scene.
"It super brings back memories and sounds really good, like power-pop punk," said DeLonge. "It's rad, really powerful, and it just brings back all the memories you have of being young and wanting to break something."
DeLonge has his hands full with two functioning bands, a family, Macbeth, Modlife and the ongoing blink-182 tour. Taking on such a huge undertaking would be a daunting task for DeLonge circa-2004, but the guitarist is ready to take on the challenge.
"Fifty dates is a lot, and no matter how bored or burned out you get it all changes for that period we are on stage," DeLonge said. "The biggest thing that would hurt a tour is if tickets aren't selling and you feel like you are stuck and you don't know what you did wrong. But this isn't the case with this tour; it is the biggest tour of my life."

Salt Lake City Farmer's Market Opens with a Crowd of Food Lovers
This week I also got a generous sample of cheese from Beehive Cheese Company, a local Utah creamery who has gotten great reviews for the quality of their cheese. The cheese they gave me to try was Full Moon Raw Milk Cheddar, which I'll probably devour before I have the chance to use it in a recipe. I loved the flavor and consistency of this cheese which is creamy with just the right bite of cheddar flavor.
Now here are other things that caught my eye at the market this week.
