Good Luck with your new AIHL Team efforts!
Adam, I'm usually on here all day long during business hours because I'm in front of a computer all day long. After work I'm usually doing something with hockey. If I come out to Vegas to play, can you hook me up with the assigner so I can get some games? I'd only do games outside my division of course. Good to hear from you buddy. Paul
Adam, What's up in Vegas? Are you making any head way with teams in Vegas for PIHA next season? I'll probably be heading out there later this year with our 10th anniversary team for the USA Inline Cup. If I do we'll have to hook up. I hope all is well with you out in the desert. Drop me a line sometime so we can catch up. Later, Paul Sharples (prs77)

hmm. could be true, but only because if i start with beer, and get to feeling good, and switch to the hard stuff, i'm gonna get hammered. both times it's happened, i've been quite drunk, but conscious, when i went to bed. but then i do this weird sleepwalking thing. i have two theories: a) there's enough booze in my stomach to get me even drunker as i snooze, and b) with my conscious mind turned off, the monkey takes over completely...like blacking out, but passing out first.

Posted to Announcement on 1/19/2012 at 3:12 PM
America's millionaires recognize that with their wealth comes responsibility to help America through its challenges, according to survey findings by PNC Wealth Management, a member of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC).More than half of millionaires feel an obligation to "give back" and few are concerned with their ability to give, according to the eighth annual Wealth and Values Survey, entitled "Responsibility and Money: How the Wealthy View Their Role in Society."Despite the continued trials of the U.S. economy since 2008, the number of millionaires who believe "I have an obligation to give back to my community" has remained stable. This year, 59 percent agree or strongly agree, the same number as in 2008.Meanwhile, the number of millionaires concerned about their ability to give to charities has declined to 11 percent from 20 percent in 2008, according to the survey of 555 millionaires.

#CannesLions with #OgilvyCannes: The 9 Principles of Work that Matters
"We believe that doing good work that promotes more goodness is simply doing good business." — Ivan Pollard According to Pollard, The Coca-Cola Company has been doing advertising work that promotes social good since 1955. Campaigns from that era, like the famous "Bench" and "Hilltop" ads, may look innocent now, but were considered provocative in their day. They brought people together from what seemed to be impenetrable borders. ...Read More
Justin Bieber: 40 Million Brand Advocates Strong
With the WOMMY Awards heating up, WOMMA has asked us to consider word of mouth worthy moments that have occurred at Awards Ceremonies over the years. Rather than focus on ceremonial moments, I opted to focus on the people who make these ceremonies….ceremonial. You know, the ones who sit in the first four rows; the actresses, performers or singers who are the reason why people like you and I watch these award ceremonies in the first place. Every one of these celebrities is a WOMM master and every one of them is a brand unto him or herself. Let's consider 19-year-old Justin Bieber: musician, singer, performer, actor, author, creator of perfumes, originator of sought-after hairstyles that probably wouldn't be sought after if it weren't for his marketing savvy. ...Read More

With Ethics, the Stakes are Higher Now than Ever
Before the great communication disruption of the past few years, brands and agencies did not necessarily have to adhere to this premise and could easily engage in unethical behavior and/or communication and have it go unnoticed. No longer. The landscape today is too transparent and the cost too high for ethics to fall by the wayside. This is true not only in regards to the ethics of conducting business, but perhaps more relevant, ethics in the authenticity of how brands are positioned to consumers. ...Read More

Frank Lewis
PDT Staff Writer
There is a phrase that has made the rounds for decades - "When you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." Steve Sturgill, Portsmouth's new president of City Council, says the city has to begin the process of moving forward.
"As the newly elected president, I have no fear of stepping forward and saying to, not only the Council, but to the people in this community, 'we're going to do something,'" Sturgill said. "The time for us, the pity party is over. We can no longer sit back and think of how things used to be in Portsmouth. Things are never going to be that way again."
"In January of 2012 I took the oath of office to be the Sixth Ward Councilperson again. And I took it with a great deal of enthusiasm," Sturgill said. "The five people that I would work with were all strangers to me. We all come from different parts of the city, different personal backgrounds, and we were all strangers. Over the course of the first couple of months of 2012, I tried to use whatever experiences I might have had in my other elected public official job, to give those people I sit with some kind of concept that things have to be different here. We can no longer do the way we have continued to do over the course of the last 10 to 12 years. We've made ourselves such a hole, I'm not sure we can climb out of."
Sturgill said after four or five months he had contemplated, "maybe this is not the place for me at this time. Maybe there is nothing that can be done."
Sturgill says he does not have that opinion now. He said, after a year on the job, he has learned some things about his colleagues.
"I have learned that this Council is learning to work with each other," Sturgill said. "It hasn't been easy. I think there are personality clashes on this Council that will make not only this year but the next several years it will give someone an opportunity to maybe step out front and be the leader of a group that really wants to have leadership."
Sturgill said he believes the city has several opportunities to move forward.
"We have got to provide the leadership to this community," Sturgill said. "We have to come out and take a stand on some very controversial issues. We're going to have to look at some of the old ordinances that other Councils have approved, and see, if in fact, that is something that Council wants to take on."
Sturgill said the current City Council cannot be responsible for the "negative actions of the last 10 or 12 years."
"I would hope my five colleagues and I can turn the corner in the community to say changes have to be made. There has to be some hope and optimism. And all of this negativity in our community has to stop," Sturgill said.
Sturgill said he sat in on another meeting last week where the comment was made that people have lost sight of what their federal officials are doing.
"I would make that even simpler," Sturgill said. "I think our community, the city of Portsmouth, and it's constituents, we've lost touch with what is going on. The city needs to put it's best foot forward."
Sturgill said that can only be accomplished by the Council leading by example at City Council meetings.
"As far as I'm concerned, the circus is over," Sturgill said. "We will come to our Council chambers on a bi-monthly basis, and do the people's business. We can no longer worry about the fact at this point that our finances are in bad shape. Yes, they are in bad shape, but we're going to have to make decisions, and make those decisions based on priorities - what's important to Council - what's important to the community, and what can we do within the realm of developing our priorities within the city government that we now have."
Sturgill was elected President of Council at the Jan. 14 City Council meeting, replacing John Haas who had been named to fill the unexpired term of City Solicitor Mike Jones.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Vigna Marenca boasts a center of bright red berries that is surprisingly supple and elegant. Sweet red cherries, freshly cut flowers, spices and mint take shape in the glass as the 2008 shows off a refined, high-toned register that is rarely found in this wine. The 2008 boasts..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Barbaresco S. Stefanetto (from vines in Treiso) is a firm, yet generous wine endowed with notable purity and depth in its dark, sensual fruit. Truffles, worn-in leather, spices and menthol round out this harmonious, beautifully balanced Barbaresco. Though undeniably attractive today, the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Elio Altare is among the most important producers of the La Morra area of Barolo and this non-cru wine shows his talents. There are smoky notes of roasted hazelnut and chocolate that frame lively aromas of cassis and red currants. Theres great depth and delicacy here and the wine boasts polished..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "...lots of fresh black truffle and berry character. Full bodied, with an impressive amount of ripe fruit...Long and chewy finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Beautiful raspberry, cherry and black currant flavors are backed by firm, dusty tannins in this harmonious, fresh red. Floral and tobacco notes add dimension as this cruises to a long, lingering finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Barolo Costa Grimaldi is fabulously rich, dense and well-balanced in this vintage. The Costa Grimaldi is made from a parcel of the Via Nuova vineyard in Barolo at 350 meters above sea level with a sheltered south-east exposure that provides respite in warmer years. This shows tons of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cannubi sweeps across the palate with layers of dark red fruit, flowers, subtle French oak, mint, licorice and spices. This is an especially pliant, generous 2008 laced with expressive fruit and fabulous overall balance. The south-facing Cannubi yields a juicier more fruit-driven..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barolo Colonnello is a determined, confident wine with a rich, succulent style and ripe aromas of blackberry, spice, sweet vanilla and polished black stone. The chewy mouthfeel also shows a precise stylistic choice and the colonel is richly opulent and enduring on the finish"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark-colored, structured, elegant 1998 Barolo Costa Grimaldi offers purity and harmony allied with power, density, and extract. While relatively seamless for such a young Einaudi Barolo, there is plenty of tannin underneath the glycerin and fruit. I suspect it is only a matter of time before..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Cicala is another serious, austere Barolo that is tightly wound at this stage. Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromatics tend towards menthol, pine, spices and all things balsamic. Sweet, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes..

The Field
Today's dynamic business environment is driven by a fast-paced, global economy--and today's businesses need critical thinkers, ethical practitioners and creative problem solvers. The Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree from MSOE prepares you to be an innovative leader, a team player and a technologically savvy professional.
The Program
The new business management degree capitalizes on MSOE's long history of combining theory and practice, along with 50 years of experience providing a technology-rich business education. You will learn core business concepts and put them into practice by solving today's business problems in "real-world" project experiences. Specialized areas of study include marketing and entrepreneurship, managerial leadership, operations management, financial management and engineering studies. Students entering the program from high school are accepted into the business management program as freshmen.
The degree is available to traditional full-time undergraduate students, and flexible study plans are available for working professionals. If you have an associate degree, the transfer plan grants junior standing to qualified individuals. Courses in the program can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis.
MSOE Advantage
MSOE students are taught by professors who have academic credentials and have "been there" in the business world. Extensive industry experience and on-going consulting experience keeps them up-to-date in their field ... and they bring those experiences into the classroom to you.
And you will never be taught by a teaching assistant. We deliver small classes taught by faculty with business experience.
The same applications-oriented approach you find in the engineering fields, you'll also find in the business classroom and high-tech labs.
Graduates of the business management program enjoy an average annual starting salary of $51,224 (2011-2012).

Understanding Health Insurance
Topic Overview
What is health insurance?
Health insurance helps you pay for your health care costs. Having insurance can help protect you from high medical costs, and it may help cover expenses if you need unexpected care. It also can make it easier to have routine doctor visits and preventive care. Insurance sometimes helps pay for prescription medicine costs.
Health insurance pays some, but not all, of your medical costs. Some plans pay more of your costs than others.
How can you get health insurance?
Many people get a health insurance plan through their work. The employer often helps pay for the plan. Some people buy health insurance on their own, directly from an insurance company, rather than getting a plan through an employer.
The United States government provides health insurance for people who qualify, such as seniors, people with certain disabilities and health problems, and some people with low incomes. Medicare and Medicaid are government insurance programs that help pay certain medical expenses for people who are eligible.
There are different kinds of health insurance plans to choose from. To get the best care, it's important to read your insurance plan closely. Be sure you understand the plan's rules and costs, how it works, and which medical services are covered.

While driving through the East End recently, I caught the outlined drawing of a pig hanging on a sign over what looked like a recently renovated row house. In an area not known for many restaurants, I was surprised when I also caught the exquisite aroma of barbecue wafting from the pig-signed place.
I was intrigued; what was this oasis without a name that I had stumbled upon on the old Eastern Avenue (rebranded as Riverside Drive)? One small internet search later (thanks, Metromix!) I discovered it was the newest location of Eli's BBQ, once a staple on Fountain Square. And after that one smell, I knew I had to stop in immediately.
The vibe: Two bright yellow bathtub planters frame the entrance to what looks like was once a modest two-story house. Large windows take up most of the front wall of the space, which is helpful in attracting people accustomed to using Riverside Drive only for commuting. It's near the busy confluence of Delta/Kellogg/Eastern Avenues, but you can park right in front of the restaurant (but not from 4-6 p.m. weekdays). Eli's also has a large lot behind, and to the side, of it.
You actually access the parking lot by turning on to Setchell Street, and by avoiding neighbors' hand-drawn "No Parking" signs. You'll know you're in the right spot when you see three huge barbecue smokers full of pork hugging the side of the restaurant. Try not to drool.
It's not a huge space inside. There are only seven tables, and seating for 30 or so. The place exudes a laid-back, antique-filled vibe, with some ramshackle, vintage decorations mixed with paintings of music legends from a recently opened art show.
Eli's has a record player plugged into an old Marshall amp, and patrons are encouraged to rifle through a pretty stellar collection of LPs (Eric Clapton, Grateful Dead) and play some tunes for other diners. It's kind of like a free, DIY jukebox. Just be sure to put the record back into its sleeve when finished (as the sign reminds you).
The food: You place your order in the back of the restaurant, next to a classic Coca-Cola refrigerator full of bottles of soda pop. Eli's BBQ is cash or check only (which meant a slight detour upon my visit), but prices are very reasonable.
My wife ordered the two-rib plate ($8) and I went with the two-all beef hot dogs plate ($8).
Plates are served with two side dishes, and I ordered baked beans and jalapeno cheese grits, while Erica ordered the mashed potatoes and jalapeno corn bread.
Our meal was delicious. The ribs were dry-rubbed (with Eli's secret rub), hickory smoked, fall-off-the-bone works of art. They looked so good, I actually went back and ordered two of them myself ($5). They had a slightly sweet, slightly spicy flavor that didn't even need Eli's homemade barbecue sauce — made available at each table — which I could have sucked directly from the bottle, if I weren't in public.
My hot dogs were the best I've ever had. The grilled bun and beef of the hot dog combined decadently with toppings of creamy coleslaw, Eli's BBQ sauce, and pieces of lightly fried, pulled pork (called crispins).
Each side dish offered an unexpected twist: the beans were smoky, and tangier — almost spicy — than sweet. The jalapeno in the cornbread and grits brought the Southern staples to a modern level. And the mashed potatoes had an amazing texture and flavor, seemingly cooked in a cast iron skillet over a fire.
The drinks: Eli's doesn't serve alcohol, but you really don't need it since the food is so solid on its own. We were in a self-induced, barbecue high afterward. I washed my meal down with a bottle of Ale-8-1, while Erica enjoyed a bottle of Orange Crush (both $2).
The verdict: Eli's BBQ is a treasure. Its cozy charm and vintage ambiance is only surpassed by the delicious food it serves. Bring cash (or your checkbook) and take a chance on a place in a neighborhood not necessarily known for restaurants.
There aren't a lot of vegetarian offerings here, but you can probably piece together a pretty filling meal on some of their meat-free excellent sides.

ZES | Outcry LP
Hailing from Eindhoven, ZES is an un-named and unknown producer that has truly pushed the bar in emotional electronic music. His debut LP "Outcry" has already caught the attention of Culprate and even the widely known dubstep label Inspector Dubplate, and for good reason. Each track not only flows seamlessly into the next, but has its own absolute character and presence, making the album extremely rewarding to listen to and memorable as a whole.

Koan Sound | Interview
It began in Bristol, 2008. Now, with their precisely cheeky and aggresive take on funky electronica and the helping words of influentials; Rusko, Pendulum, Aphex Twin, and Skrillex, Koan Sound have been thrust into the forefront of the bass music industry's collective eye. Low-Life's own, KO, sits down with the duo before their Vancouver appearance to discuss grizzly bears, Buddhist philosophy, and their latest release, Funk Blaster, out now on OSWLA.
Introducing, Koan Sound.
LL: What are your specific roles?
Will: "We both do a bit of both, but I do a bit more of the producing and he does a bit more of the DJing; we kind of play to our strengths that way. That way the group remains much stronger."
LL: What does your production process typically look like? What do you use to produce it, and how do you find inspiration?
Will: "Usually it's just done by lots of experimentation really. We use Reason 4, and I've been using it for years and years but I'm still finding plenty of new things every time we use it. It's just a case of finding a bit of inspiration in something, and then building upon that. Usually I find the best way to find inspiration is to listen to a genre completely different to what you're trying to make whether it's a band, or whatever – classical music even, or film music. It helps a lot when you try and bring that into dubstep, or whatever you're trying to do.
LL: KOAN has Zen connotations to it, and you've released tracks with names that reference traditional definition (One Hand Clap). What does the name mean to you?
Jim: "I wouldn't say it's strictly personal, we just thought it was quite a cool concept. The idea of gaining an answer to a problem not through logic per-say, but sort of intuition – a deeper understanding of something.
Will: "Like what's the sound of one hand clapping, you know?"
LL: Eleven days ago you released Funk Blaster on OWSLA. How is it being among the first releases on the label?
Will: "It's exciting, I mean they've been so supportive – Skrillex and the whole team."
Jim: "We were given pretty much complete freedom to do whatever we wanted, there were no specifications or anything. They just said: 'we like what you guys do, so we want to release some of your music, and just sort of went from there.'"
LL: How do you feel about the EP/do you have words to lowlifes about the direction of its sound?
Will: "I mean we touched on some more funky sounding things in the Max Out EP, and we just wanted to do more of that."
Jim: "Yeah I think it brings in influences from more acoustic genres – this EP – so you've got sort of funk stuff, whereas that last one was more electronic music I suppose. But yeah, it's just a mash up of those different genres hopefully.."
LL: I was reading an interview you did with Dubsilo UK, and you spoke on your earlier influence of drum 'n' bass which is typically 160-190bpm. In recent tracks you've been down to often under 100bpm. Give us an idea of your early/current influences, and what you like about the new slower tempos.
Jim: "Drum 'n' Bass was pretty much the first electronic music that we'd heard, probably 2005 or something like that. Originally, our first exposure to it was people like: The Prodigy, but quickly it sort of moved down – we started exploring the genre, and finding people like Noisia and Spor who obviously are really really big influences, and that's definitely shaped our sound quite a lot. That sort of… it's dark, it's quite meticulously produced, but it's hard to describe. It's tearout, but it's not stupid music.
LL: Initially your influences were drum and bass, which is pretty natural. So going to 100bpm it is…
Will: "It's quite uncharted territory that sort of tempo with the heavy bass sounds that we've been doing. It's just a really nice fresh approach, and it's just really fun to make music at that tempo; it's a bit faster than normal hip-hop, but slow enough that it's got a really nice groove to it."
Jim: "Yeah we've been getting into people like Opiou from Australia, and this guy called Tipper, who make music at 100bpm and so we include quite a lot of their tunes in our set. And yeah I don't think most people from the UK really know about them, so it's sort of – unexplored territory as Will said."
LL: What can you tell us about the UK production community? In an interview I saw of Asa, he spoke well of you, Culprate, and Statix of the Screwloose people. Anyone we should keep an eye on?
Will: "Someone called Teknian, who is a producer from Sweden. He's pretty young, I think he's 18 now, but recently he's just started making some amazing things. His bass sounds very much like Spor, but he's just.."
Jim: "He has a real breadth to his production. He can do really dark, tearout drum 'n' bass tunes, and can do really sort of two steppy – melodic pieces. So yeah he's got a wide pallet of sound, and I suppose that's what we look for in an artist really… someone who can turn their hand to different things.
LL: Everyone has to ask: 5 favorite tracks right now?
Jim: "Probably a Culprate one called "Ono", it's going to be released next month I think. He's doing an EP for Inspected, I think that's the main track.
Will: "This song I'm really into right now by Phace and Misanthrop called "Energie"
Jim: "We've just done a remix for Kill The Noise which is being released in a couple of weeks. The original tune is called Deal With It, and that's actually coming out on OWSLA as well, it's the next release on the label."
Jim: "Another tune by Culprate which is actually on the same EP called Tentacle which is completely different from all his other stuff. It's like a really down-tempo sort of garage-y tune — it's wicked."
Will: "What was that Teknian and Asa one.. Jirachi.."
Jim: "It's a collab between Asa, Teknian, and this guy called Kasket, and the tune's call Jirachi? Yeah it's a good tune, just have a little Google search or something."
LL: Which would win in a fight: a Lion or a Grizzly Bear?
Will: "Grizzly Bear.. they are strong motherfuckers."
Jim: "I've never seen one, but who was it that was telling us.. their first ever trip to Canada, and their first time they'd ever smoked weed.."
Will: "He happened to stumble across a bear, and he just ran away from it.."
Jim: "and yeah, this bear was sort of quite a placid bear, and he saw this bear, ran away from it, and of course this bear started chasing after him. Don't know how it ended.."
Will: "Well he is still alive so you know.."
LL: What does KOAN Sound hold for the future of bass music?
Will: "It's a hard question because it's evolving so quickly.. There are plenty of genres coming out that I'd never heard of which are huge.."
Jim: "As long as it stays fresh and there's new producers coming through and there's new ideas being generated, then that's all I look for in it really.."
LL: Thank you for your time.

The sprint towards the end of the 2012-13 basketball season has been a grueling one for the varsity Fighting Scots. And after Friday night's set of home games against Hoke County, it's only halfway over.
Due to inclement weather causing the cancellation of Jan. 25's games against Lumberton, Scotland's clash with the Pirates was moved to this past Monday, which resulted in the Scots closing out their season with six conference games in just 10 days.
With that said, Scotland welcomed the Bucks Friday night at the SHS new gym. And while the lady Scots continued their postseason push by winning their third game this week, the varsity boys suffered their ugliest loss of the season to the Southeastern 4A Conference's strongest team.
For the lady Scots, who moved to 16-3 (7-1 in conference play) with their 51-43 victory over Hoke, they furthered their increasing stranglehold on the conference despite a less-than-stellar performance.
"We did just enough out there to win, which I didn't like," said Scotland coach David Johnson after the win. "It was one of those games where we couldn't get into that third or fourth gear. However, after three big-time games against tough opponents you'll sometimes have your lulls. We still got the win, and we are still peaking as a team at the right time."
The lady Bucks surprised Scotland at the onset after the Hoke backcourt of Courtney Pate and Shanice Horn (who led all scorers with 21 points) each hit baskets in the first minute to go up early on the lady Scots. Meanwhile, Scotland started sluggishly on the offensive end by missing nine of their first 11 shots.
But lady Scots' senior forward Quintavia Deberry helped break her team out of the early slump by going coast-to-coast with a steal and a layup with under three minutes left in the first quarter to give Scotland their first lead of the game. A behind-the-back pass from point guard Ariel Ratcliff to Malaysia Chisholm (who converted the layup) with seconds remaining gave Scotland the 16-12 lead over Hoke after the first quarter.
After being the central focal point for her team's success against Lumberton and Pinecrest earlier in the week, Ratcliff played limited minutes against Hoke and didn't make much of an impact throughout. However, as has been the case all season for the lady Scots, their bench play came through when it was needed most to give Scotland an added boost in the wake of Ratcliff's absence.
Coming off the bench Friday night to play a large hand in Scotland's success was Eyana Rogers and Tuesday McLaurin, who each had critical baskets whenever Hoke threatened to climb back in the contest.
"Our bench has been the reason for our success this year," Johnson said. "We challenge everyone to contribute, and these girls deserve an A+ for the effort and energy they've given us."
The score was 27-22 in favor of Scotland at the half.
Hoke managed to chip the lady Scots' lead to two points in the third quarter after Horn successfully converted a three-point play in the opening seconds after being fouled during a shot attempt. But a three-pointer from Rogers with under three minutes to play in the quarter (Rogers had eight points on the night) would later give Scotland its largest lead of the night, which would expand to double-digits after a mid-range jumper from guard Tykeria Johnson roughly a minute later. Johnson scored a team-high 12 points against Hoke.
The lady Bucks never quite went away, however, as a layup from Te'Montae Spellers with four and a half minutes left in the game cut Scotland's lead to five points. But then McLaurin struck just 15 seconds later with a three-point play of her own (McLaurin led Scotland scorers with four fourth quarter points) which proved to be the difference-maker in the game.
Scotland sophomore center Destiny Campbell had 10 points and eight rebounds in the game as well.
While the lady Scots emerged triumphant against Hoke, the Scotland varsity boys (2-16) continued moving in the opposite direction as they welcomed a Bucks' squad who has ran roughshod over the competition this year, to the tune of a 20-2 overall record.
And though Scotland managed to keep pace with Hoke in the early minutes of the game, things quickly turned dismal for the Scots as Hoke powered past them in the second quarter and never looked back.
In fact, after a horrific second quarter that saw Scotland get outscored 23-4 by Hoke, the Scots failed to sink a single basket until five minutes had elapsed in the fourth quarter as the team appeared to all but have waved the white flag Friday night.
When it was all said and done, Scotland fell to Hoke by the score of 92-28.
Hoke forward Tarique Thompson led all scorers with 23 points, while Scotland senior Artemis Robinson chipped in 11 points for the Scots.

Cruz Sends Scarborough and Maddow of MSNBC Into Conniptions
Texas Senator Ted Cruz's question to California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Second Amendment in a March 14 hearing forced MSNBC hosts into conniptions, with Joe Scarborough saying that Cruz had made "willfully ignorant" statements and Rachel Maddow claiming Cruz had been "patronizing" to Feinstein as a woman.

The Rand Paul filibuster against drone strikes in the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director brought praise from across the political spectrum, but also harsh (and inaccurate) criticism from the Wall Street Journal and other neoconservative pundits.
Lies and Maximum Pain: Obama's Strategy for Winning the Sequester Debate
President Obama and his administration have revealed their strategy on how to win the sequestration debate: Exaggerate and lie about the impact of the cuts, which really only serve to slow the growth of federal spending, and maximize the pain caused by those cuts.
WikiLeaker Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty to 10 of 22 Charges
In a military court on February 28, former Army intelligence officer Bradley Manning confessed to sending a record number of secret documents to Internet whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, but denied he had leaked any information to the enemy.
The Sequester Begins: Even Obama Has Begun Downplaying the Effects
Despite the dawning of the latest "fiscal cliff" — the sequester — the world appears not to have fallen apart, notwithstanding the dire predictions by the Obama White House. Even the president admitted it's not that bad, in a February 28 speech to businessmen.

Michigan congressman Justin Amash engaged in a successful smackdown of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney in a Tweet war February 13-14. The social media snit got started after Carney tried to make political hay of Amash's criticism of GOP leadership over the budget sequester, and ended with Amash burning the White House's position that the sequester was a looming evil: "@PressSec It's even more disingenuous for Pres O to call sequester 'devastating' when he came up w/it & signed it into law."
Rubio's and Rand's Contrasting State of the Union Address Responses

30 Things to Do With a Naked Woman
She's in her birthday suit. Do you a) try the same played-out sex moves you've been using or b) blow her mind and turn her on with these new naughty Cosmo-approved ideas? If your answer is b, start clicking...
By Zoe Ruderman
1) Focus on Her Back Side
No, were not referring to her butt (go to slide 13 for that tip). We mean literally the back side of her body. You probably usually focus on her front, which means youre neglecting a lot of nerve endings. So try standing behind her and kissing the nape of her neck, then slowly move down her spine. This also puts you in the perfect position to reach around and cup her breasts or stimulate her manually.
2) Try a Wall Post
This is way better than the Facebook version: Gently push her up against the wall and spread her legs using your knee. Then press your thigh between hers. General clitoral stimulation (in the form of your thigh rubbing her button) is a great way to get her revved up.
3) Put Both Hands to Good Use
Grab one of her butt cheeks with one hand and use your other hand to cradle her face. This sends two messagesyou find her so beautiful that you cant stop looking at her and you find her so effable you cant wait to do herwhich is pretty much exactly the message any woman wants to receive when shes standing naked in front of you.
4) Touch This Little-Known Hot Spot
Place both of your thumbs on either side of her vajayjay and rub the area in small circles without actually inserting your finger inside her. The same nerves that make her clitoris such a hot spot actually extend down to this area so your massage is the perfect warm-up to oral.
5) Lube Up
Before entering her, take a a dollop of lube and rub it around the opening to her vagina. This will be just enough to allow you to enter her smoothly, but not so much that theres no friction at all.
6) Tap Into Your Inner Vampire
People have a slightly higher tolerance for pain when theyre aroused. They also have a harder time discerning pain from pleasure. Take advantage of her sexed up state to give her thighs some love bites before giving her oral.
7) Blindfold Her
Use your tie to blindfold her then lay her down on the bed. Stand over her and place kisses on unexpected spots, like her knee, her ear, or the inside of her wrist. Because she doesnt know where your lips will land next, her body will be in a state of constant anticipation.
8) Heighten Her Senses
Everyone thinks men are the more visual creatures, but studies have found that women are just as turned on by what they see. So set up a mirror next to the bed then get in positions (doggy-style or girl-on-top) that allow her to watch your reflections the whole time.
9) Treat Her to a Blended Orgasm
With one hand, use two fingers to stroke her clitoris in circles. And with the other, insert your pointer finger palm-up inside her. Find the spot about an inch or two inside her along the front wall that feels spongy or puckered, and use a come-hither motion. It may take some time to pull off this ambidextrous maneuver, but knowing that you can give her that kind of pleasure will be worth the effort.
10) Let Your Member Be Her Sex Toy
During sex, pull out and use the tip of your hard penis to stimulate her clitoris. Take her hand and place it on your shaft so she can control how to use it on herself. Sure, itll kinda make you feel like a sexual object, but uh, do you really mind?
11) Try This Twist on Missionary
Tie her ankles together using a scarf or a belt then enter her in guy-on-top. Shes used to spreading her legs wide during intercourse, but this tweak allows for better clitoral stimulation and a tighter fit (read: youll feel bigger to her).
12) Show Her Joints Some Loving
Kiss anywhere on her body that bends neck, elbow, waist, bikini creases, etc. These spots tend to be really sensitive. (Dont believe us? Try running a finger over your forearm then doing the same to the inside of your elbow. The latter feels better, doesnt it?)
13) Give Her a Massage With That Happy Ending
While shes on top of you in reverse cowgirl, dont just lay there. Take advantage of the positioning to give her a butt massage. Her rear is jam-packed with pleasure-sensing nerves and itll make her ride that much more enjoyable.
14) Share a Loooong Kiss
A recent study found that something in mens saliva temporarily elevates testosterone levels in women. So kick it seven-minutes-in-heaven style and do nothing but make out until shes begging you for more.
15) Be a Big Tease
It may take you just a few seconds to get a stiffy, but for women to get that aroused, they need about 10 minutes of foreplay. So set a timer and tell her that until it goes off, youre not going to touch the parts of her body that would be covered by a bikini. Use that time to kiss every other part of her body. By the time she hears ding, shell be dying for you to go for the bulls eye.
16) Break Out the Whipped Cream
Use the can to write dirty words all over her body then use your tongue to lick them up. (Just be sure to throw down an extra sheet first since this one can get messy.)
17) Use Your Ring Finger
The firm touch of your thumb or pointer finger can sometimes be too much for her sensitive clitoris. So when you first start to rub her button, use your ringor even pinkyfinger. Then once you feel her getting wet and lifting her pelvis (a sign she wants a stronger touch), switch to your middle then pointer finger.
18) Go Down at a Right Angle
Give her oral but approach her perpendicular to her body so that you can move your tongue back and forth across her clitoris instead of up and down. Itll provide her with some new sensations. And bonus: it wont leave you with a neck cramp.
19) Get Clean...Then Get Dirty
Fill the tub, light some candles, then offer to wash her hair. We can hear you groaning, but trust usevery single woman has seen this done in a movie and is waiting for some guy to treat her to the same experience. And hey, itll probably lead to bathtub booty.
20) Play Hot and Cold
Suck on her nipples until theyre hard then alternate blowing on them and breathing hot air on them. The change in temperature is extra sensual.
21) Have Aural Sex
Lie down in bed together and let her know that youre going to make her wet without touching her. Then proceed to tell herin lots of detailall of the dirty things you plan to do to her that night.
22) Break Out a Vibe
Pick up one of those rings that slips over your penis and has a mini-vibrator attached (you can find them at most drugstores). There are certain parts of her naughty bits that actually respond best to the speed and strength of vibration, so youre giving her a kind of pleasure she wouldnt normally feel during buzz-free sex.
23) Go For Round Two
Dont stop at just one O. After she climaxes, spend a minute focusing on her non-crotchal erogenous zones like her breasts and butt. Then go back to her nether regions and start caressing the region again.
24) Give Her a 15-Minute Orgasm
No, thats not a typo. It takes some practice, but we have all of the detailed instructions here.
25) Cover Her Up
Pull a bedsheet over her naked body then touch her through it. The material helps transmit the sensations to a wider area.
26) Do Something Sweet
Buy a candy necklace and roll it up her leg so shes wearing it like a garter. Then proceed to eat off every "bead."
27) Belt It
Get into doggy-style then wrap a scarf or towel under her hips, holding both ends in your hands. Now you can use it to lift her torso higher as you thrust in and outallowing for new angles and super deep penetration.
28) Try Blind Oral
A lot of women have trouble totally letting go when theyre on the receiving end of oral because theyre self-conscious of how they look down there. So slip on a sleep mask before heading south. That way, she wont be concerned with what youre seeing, but shell still get to look down and see all the hot action.
29) Give Her a Very Dirty Kiss
Perform oral sex...on her mouth. Simulate what youd like to do to her below-the-belt region, pretending that her lips are, well, you know, lips.
30) Spoon Her
Instead of rolling over and falling asleep after a hookup (tempting, we know), pull her into a hug so that her head is resting on your chest and one of her legs is draped over yours. Itll make her feel like you just cant get enough of her.

This region acquired its name from Princess Louise Victoria, daughter of Canadian Queen, Victoria. It is the most densely populated prairie province in Canada. It also boasts as the fourth largest province in Canada, occupying about a quarter million square miles. This means that you will need a good car for hire in Alberta in order to cover the entire region efficiently. Dry continental climate prevails here. This entails warm dry summers followed by cold winters, a factor you should consider when picking the appropriate vacation period.
The capital city of Alberta is known as Edmonton. This is the second most populous of all the cities in this region. Here, you can start off with the Royal Alberta Museum. Here you will get in touch with much of Canada's historical past and cultural tendencies of some of their ancient tribes. A further south west drive brings you to Fort Edmonton park, standing as the largest museum of living history in Canada. Here you find ancient steam trains and automobiles, most of which are useable and open to the public. You could be lucky to enjoy a ride on an ancient horse chariot.
A further 183 mile drive southwards in a car for rent in Alberta brings you to Calgary city. This is located between the prairie region and the Canadian Rockies foothills. Here you can visit the Heritage Park Historical village for more of Canada's historical features such as ancient buildings and automobiles. These include the electric street car, the paddle steamer and steam trains. If you decide to get entertained, you can head to the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium. This contains over 2,500 seats for all you need in performing arts, local, stage and theatre performances.
15 miles north east of the capital leads you to a heavy industrial and commercial town called Fort Saskatchewan. This is located strategically along the North Saskatchewan River. It houses an enormous 16000 square meters of shopping centres known as Fort Mall. This is an ancient development, which has been joined by a new Mall called the Cornerstone Mall. These two ensure that you get anything you want when shopping. You can also rent a car in Alberta and indulge in some golfing at the nine-hole golf course, situated just a short while from this city.
Dining and nightlife in Alberta will be a memorable, fun-filled experience. The numerous restaurants, bars and clubs feature a wide variety of events to fit all age groups. You will find most of these concentrated along the Whyte Avenue on 82 avenue and others along the Gateway Boulevard, on 103 Street. Some famous resorts will also be found within nearby cities such as Spruce Grove City, around Edmonton and Airdrie City, located in the Calgary Region. Do not miss out on a chance to tour Alberta. As you make your arrangements, ensure that you will get picked on time by an efficient car rental service. Visit us online and book in advance.

Olbermann Goes Ballistic
Olbermann has been pointing out that George W. Bush is a dummy for years, but even for him, this was turning up the heat. Sure, it is open season on Bush, especially now that he is a lame duck leader sidelined by one of the most stirring presidential elections in memory. But you can't accuse Olbermann of simply piling on with the pack. He, along with PBS veteran commentator Bill Moyers, have consistently been outspoken critics of the Bush administration.
Still, I can't recall anyone else on a U.S.-based all news channel ripping into Bush with phrases like "bone-headedly wrong," or basically telling the president of the United States to "shut the hell up."
What set Olbermann off if you haven't screened the clip (and you'll need to set aside 12 minutes, but it's worth it) is a recent interview where Bush told a reporter he gave up golf out of respect for the U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq. It's a statement Olbermann calls "ludicrous, infuriating, holier-than-thou."
The one time ESPN sportscaster was at the last TCA tour in July of 2007, where he took questions from critics. When I caught up with him at the NBC after party I suggested he seemed out on a limb over some of the anti-Bush rants he had done up to that point. Olbermann said the real guy with guts was that commentator up in Canada at the CBC--meaning Rex Murphy! Olbermann said Murphy was saying things about the war in Iraq and the Bush administration that no U.S. commentator would dare express.
Olbermann may be a fan of Murphy but he is a disciple of Edward R. Murrow. It goes way beyond the shared "good night, and good luck" sign off, Olbermann's obvious homage to the master CBS newsman. In an era when Dan Rather is history and Walter Cronkite ancient history, it is good to see somebody like Olbermann give props to the past.
For my money, however, the devotion goes a little too far. Look at how Olbermann mimics Murrow's mannerisms, right down to the head down pauses between reads to the camera. All that is missing is the cigarette haze.
More admirable is Olbermann's careful use of language, another Murrow hallmark. Olbermann's rants are precise and well crafted, smart and fun at the same time. This one is punctuated with genuine anger and fearless rhetoric. It is good to see, especially coming from a network owned by a conglomerate which profits from Bush's ramp up of the industrial military complex. Olbermann may be borrowing stature from Murrow, but he is clearly also earning it on his own.

With all the talking heads out there bloviating endlessly, what does it say that the guy with the delivery, eloquence and visceral honesty to put it all out there in a cathartic expression of the 71% of Americans who think W. is a disaster, that give him the highest disapproval ratings of any president since they started measuring that last century -- what does it say that the one guy who dares to speak the truth came from sports?

Too bad nobody watches his show.
- May 16, 2008 at 5:50 PM
wow yeah, 55% increase since 2006, 1 million to Bill's 2 and falling, all the juice versus impotent rage that goes nowhere...
...and a Republican party heading for the collapse of four decades. Yup. Olbermann sounds worried.
Funny how O'Reilly's scared to mention him by name on air anymore...that's a change.
Fox Noise is circling the bowl. Hahhahahaha! - May 16, 2008 at 7:52 PM
Clearly suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome, Olbermann comes across as an out of control lunatic.
Maybe Tony Burman, a 35 year veteran of the CBC and former head of their news department, can hire Olbermann to work for Al Jazeera along with former CBCer Avi Lewis - because MSNBC won't be around much longer, not with the kind of ratings that they have. Kind of reminds me of that "if a tree falls in the forest" routine. Olbermann can act psychotic and repeat lies about the Bush admin but nobody's watching - the O'reilly Factor literally gets TWENTY TIMES THE VIEWERS as Olbermann.
And I love the way DMC uses the word "bloviating".
Bill O'Reilly sells t-shirts with his popular "no bloviating" line. Maybe DMC is a closet neo-con?
Great blog site Brioux - how much do they pay you to engage in your Bush-bashing routine? Maybe you're looking for a gig with Al Jazeera? Good luck. - May 17, 2008 at 11:51 AM

"the 71% of Americans who think W. is a disaster"
Actually President George W. Bush has an approval rating of 33% which is actually quite encouraging when you look at the approval rating for Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi which hovers in the single digits.
As for Olbermann, who cares, nobody is watching except for a handful of misfits and anarchists.
Nice to see that all of the far-left Canadian bloggers are watching American cable news as opposed to their own state funded al jazeera training broadcaster. Nice. - May 17, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Geez BB, at the very least you should get on Olbermann's Christmas card list(oh! that's if he believes in Christmas??) after that steaming pile. Sheeeeeesh!

In a move to make up for cuts in federal funding due to the sequester that has been in the news as of late, the local Head Start program is eliminating transportation and other programs.
A letter went out recently to parents and guardians with children in the program stating that the cuts have affected the Head Start program in several ways. One, and perhaps the move that hurts more families than any, is that all bus transportation will discontinue on March 18. The letter was sent out shortly after the sequestration took place on March 1 to give the parents a couple of weeks to try to find alternate means of transportation. According to the letter, "Every effort will be made to reinstate transportation services starting in August."
The cut in bus transportation is going to make things difficult, say many parents.
"I may pull my child out of Head Start due to not having the money to get him to school," said April Ellis. "We live eight miles away from town and the Head Start bus is a huge help getting my baby to school and back. We are not happy about the bus losing their funds but what else can anyone do."
Head Start officials aren't happy about having to cut back on programs, either.
"Immediate impacts to the program are being felt as a result of sequestration," said Debbie Thomas, director for the Head Start program. "Unlike other Head Start agencies, our program is one-quarter into the 2013 fiscal year. We are forced to absorb a five percent reduction in annual funding in a nine-month period of time. Our main objective is to maintain as many services as possible to children and families. However, due to rising gas prices, transportation to and from the centers will cease. Bus monitors and drivers will be laid off on that day."
In addition to the transportation cuts, all field trips until the end of the year are being cancelled and the "Fatherhood Reading Program" is being eliminated, according to the letter.
"More employee lay-offs and program changes are going to take effect as planning continues," Thomas said. "Tough decisions are required to be made that will directly impact people's life, which include the families of our own staff."
Those families affected by the cuts in the program are dealing with it in the best way they can.
"Well, the Head Start program was great; now I have two little boys who will not be attending after March 18," said parent Crystal Maiden. "I have a newborn baby and can't drag him in and out, plus I have three girls who are in school and I can't afford to make four different trips to the school. They start at different times and are released hours apart."
Officials hope the gloomy outlook will change.
"It's distressing, decisions are not being taken lightly, and all scenarios are being considered," said Thomas.
Cuts in federal funding will also affect other local programs, but as of press time programs such as the Claiborne County School System could not confirm what effect the cuts will have.
"We will have cuts in funding but until I get definite numbers I won't know the impact on our current budget," said Connie Holdway, director of schools.

From the Nov. 6, 1969 News Record:
An $8 million school improvement bond issue will be proposed to patrons of the Campbell County School District in an election to be Tuesday, Dec. 9. The school board voted 4 to 2 to present a system of new school buildings, which are needed in the county to house and properly educate the 3,000 children attending grades 1 through 12 in Campbell County. Generally, four of the board members felt that the total school facilities needed in Campbell County should be represented to for the voters to approve or disapprove. They were Lloyd Halladay, Don Marquiss, W.T. Fulkerson and Jes Jessen, chairman of the board. Two of the board members, Leroy Wright and Bob Sorenson, generally felt that the most important part of the total proposed program should be chosen for the initial bond issue, and other parts being proposed at another time. They voted against the $8 million bond issue in one total package. Estimated figures on the various parts of the building program included Northside Elementary addition, $445,200; Westside Elementary addition, $67,840; New Westside Elementary, $805,600; and new Southeast Elementary, $1,327,824. The junior high school would be housed at the present high school, where the 45-year-old portion of the budlding would be razed and reconstructed for $1,022,900. Among the plans are a new auditorium, kitchen facilities, and a total of bout 30 classrooms for grades, seven, eight and nine. The senior high school proposed for grades 10, 11, and `12 would be $3,137,600. It is planned to handle up to 1,000 students.
From the Nov. 3, 1981 News Record:
The man who allegedly took a bulldozer on a destructive spin through part of Gillette last spring is back in jail after a court hearing Monday. But those close to the case say they still don't know for sure what prompted John D. Thompson to go joyriding on the Caterpillar tractor he pleaded guilty to taking. "He doesn't remember driving it," said the defendant's sister, Marion Thompson of Lenoir City, Tenn., as she waited for other brother's change of plea hearing to begin. Deputy County Attorney Jack Sundquist said he believed Thompson had been drinking before the May 1 incident and was depressed about "financial problems." But as far as "what made him do it, I don't know," Sundquist said. "I don't think the psychiatrists did, either." Calling Thompson "one of the most exemplary defendants that I have ever represented before this court," defense attorney Williams Edwards of Gillette asked the judge not to revoke the bond. "I am personally convinced that there is no danger of Mr. Thompson not showing up" for sentencing, Edwards told the court. But the arguments failed to sway District Court Judge Paul to Liamos Jr., who ordered the man taken to jail pending sentencing.

Take a Look at Our Bass Boats for Sale
Bass boats are very popular and are purchased by many people all around the world by many major manufactures and dealers. Bass boats are top of the line boats which are designed for fishermen. These boats are built to be used with at least three fishermen on them to enjoy the fishing season. The boats are usually a little longer then 18 feet long but not too big and perform very strong with anywhere from 150 to 250 horsepower "under the hood" usually, however this varies by boat. Boats which are built for tournaments and professional fishers are over 18 feet long and have 150-250 horsepower, while fishers who just go out in the water to have fun with their friends would have aluminum boats which are 16 to 18 feet long and only have 25-150 horsepower in the engine.
Bass boats are built for all ranges of fishers from casual/friendly fishermen to professional fishermen who perform in tournaments. This is why bass boats are so popular and sell so well.
