Why did you say nothing about the rest of the game after the art gallery?
@TylerVanderyt You mean the demonstration of Bernoulli's Principle? My write-up isn't intended to be a summary of the game. It's just meant to praise its approach to storytelling and to perhaps encourage more people to seek it out and experience it for themselves.
@carolynmichelle No no. After that.There are missions that you have to complete.I only played the first 2 so I don't know how many there are.But it seems theres much more game after the Bernoulli Principle
@TylerVanderyt I think perhaps you're referring to Gravity Bone, a prior game that comes included with 30 Flights of Loving and that is also, in my opinion, very cool.

In the final seconds of the Super Bowl, announcers, pundits and fans argued whether the lack of a pass interference call on San Francisco's frantic fourth-and-goal play changed N.F.L. history, although it's likely a minority of people outside the Bay Area believed that and fewer still believed it was wise of 49ers Coach Jim Harbaugh to whine about it at his news conference afterward.
What was largely overlooked was that the referees and the rule book definitely had an impact on the Super Bowl — perhaps a fitting end to a season that started with the replacement ref controversies.
Most Super Bowls start off with conservative play-calling, but Harbaugh instead turned Colin Kaepernick loose, and he rifled a pass to Vernon Davis for a 20-yard gain, which would have tied a record for most yards on the game's first play from scrimmage.
But the play was erased by an illegal formation penalty, with the wide receiver "covering" the tight end. Although Mike Pereira, once the N.F.L.'s vice president for officiating and now Fox Sports' rules analyst, said the play was not particularly obscure — it is called about 30 times a year — the reaction of millions of casual football fans, and many avid ones, was, "Huh?"
The rule regards the number of eligible receivers at the line of scrimmage — if the tight end is on the end of the line and is an eligible receiver, then the wide receiver on that side of the field must be behind the line a few steps. The officials throw that flag once the ball is snapped, regardless of whether it's a running or a passing play, though in this case it happened that the pass landed in the hands of Davis, the tight end.
"This is not overzealous officiating," Pereira said, just a simple violation of the rules likely caused by an overanxious receiving corps that failed to police itself.
But Gerry Austin, who officiated in three Super Bowls and is now a rules analyst for ESPN's "Monday Night Football," said that while it was "clearly the correct call," it was not necessarily one that every official would have made. "The official could have said, 'Let's let the game get settled in' and passed on it and then warned the coach," Austin said, adding that if all current officials were surveyed, a healthy number would have done just that.
The impact of the play was huge. Pereira called it a 25-yard penalty, since the offense had a 20-yard gain wiped out and a 5-yard penalty added. Instead of being on their own 40 with buzz and momentum, the 49ers found themselves flustered at their own 15. The offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, quickly grew conservative, calling a run, a short pass and a run.
The offense stalled, and after a punt, Baltimore began its drive on its own 49. That superb field position led to a quick score that set the tone for the first half. A long completion on first down might not have led to a score for San Francisco, but it almost certainly would have changed the 49ers' play-calling and forced the Ravens to start from much deeper in their own territory.
One of the biggest plays of the second quarter was Ed Reed's interception of a Kaepernick pass, which ended with players from both sides going at each other. In the middle of the mayhem, Ravens cornerback Cary Williams shoved an official. That is supposed to produce a penalty and an automatic ejection.
The penalty was irrelevant here, Pereira explained, because the officials ended up calling penalties on both sides that offset each other (something officials "hate doing," Austin added, "because nobody suffers and they all think they can do it again").
There is supposed to be zero tolerance on physical contact with officials, and Pereira said Williams should have been kicked out, which would have weakened Baltimore's secondary for the rest of the game. Austin said it was possible that in the ensuing chaos the official didn't recognize the player and thus couldn't make the call. "If it was Ray Lewis or someone everybody knows, it would have been obvious," he said.
As the clock wound down and the tension and excitement mounted, Harbaugh broke a rule and got away with it, though it made no difference, while his brother, Ravens Coach John Harbaugh, exploited a rule and sealed his victory.
"I saw Jim Harbaugh all the way down at the 10-yard line three times," Pereira said, explaining that coaches and players must stay between the 32-yard lines, except if a coach is calling a timeout or challenging a play. San Francisco was out of timeouts by then. Austin said he was fine with officials ignoring that. "You want your eyes and mind on the field, let the league deal with it administratively after the game," he said. But Pereira said this unchecked roaming can give a coach a competitive advantage if he is near the players.
Pereira said he did not think the 49ers should have been penalized, because that would have taken the game out of the players' hands, but he argued that one of the alternate officials should have walked Jim Harbaugh back to where he belonged.
On the Super Bowl's penultimate play, John Harbaugh, a former special-teams coach, told his team to break the rules.
Here's why: The Ravens were taking a safety on purpose and wanted to take as many of the final 12 seconds as possible. If all of his players committed holding infractions, no matter how blatant, the flag thrown would not stop the clock and the penalty would be a safety, which they were obviously willing to accept. The Ravens took seven seconds off the clock before punter Sam Koch was pushed out of bounds, leaving the 49ers without time for a desperation pass after the punt return.
The only way to stop teams from taking advantage of that situation would be to put time back on the clock, pegged to the moment the first hold was committed. Austin and Pereira said that was something the competition committee could look at, but neither believed it was feasible.
The defense has to fight through the holds or avoid being in such a deep hole to begin with. In San Francisco's case, that would have meant not needlessly burning a timeout in the third quarter.
Otherwise, the 49ers' only other hope would have been if Koch shanked his punt after the safety. Then they would have been the ones able to take advantage of an obscure N.F.L. rule, the ''free kick from placement" for a field goal after a fair catch. It's a rule that made sense in the early days of the league and does not seem to have been used successfully since 1968.
Had Koch botched his punt and the 49ers caught it at, say, midfield, David Akers would have had a free kick from that spot, with the Ravens' defenders 10 yards off the line of scrimmage and not allowed to rush. Koch, of course, rendered that moot, and after all the calls and noncalls, Baltimore is the Super Bowl champion.

'Binders Full of Women' and Other Presidential Debate Humor
With the scrappy second debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama came a flood of humor on social media.
Doug Love
8:45 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I fell asleep halfway through, finding them too serious and not dealing with the real issues such as climate change. But I woke up in time to hear a PBS commentator say "Women full of binders".
Tom Rossing

"too serious", please do us a favor mr. Van Winkle and return to your sleep. It's morons like you that cast a bad spell on the voting process anyway.
B Allen
2:34 pm on Friday, October 19, 2012
Why don't you go back to sleep or are you waiting on your government check to arrive? What you really heard is the commentator saying obama supporters always wear blinders...hahaha
2:39 am on Friday, November 30, 2012
Incredible points. Sound arguments. Keep up the amazing work.
11:58 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
That phrase is a stupid distraction from the issues. Why do we claim to want substance but then wallow in the inconsequential?
Theresa Defino
2:19 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Actually, it was an important moment that showed Romney is about as liberated about women as Ward Cleaver (his doppelganger) and can't keep from lying. MassGap came to him, and was formed before his election.
B Allen
2:24 pm on Friday, October 19, 2012
I see you are STILL a fool, Defino. Romney deals with professional women and they don't have one page resumes or their resume scribbled on a napkin. It proves that Romney looks for competent people to do the job. Unlike you, the people Romney looks at, come with their resume in a binder because they have done so much in their lifetime and not sit on their fat butt and collect a government handouts. If you looked at some REAL factual data, you would see the women he has put into positions (yes, even democrats). Three times more than NObama has. Get the facts instead of talking out your butt.

2:27 pm on Friday, October 19, 2012
you are right Marcus...just look at how the number of women on unemployment or just not working because of obams failure. To think he wants to be a failure for another 4 yrs? HAHAHA I guess those who support him have never heard the saying, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". Funny thing is Obama and Biden are laughing about how lefties are so easiy fooled.
11:19 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
OMG you guys are cracking me up here!!!!
Tom Rossing weren't you just a little harsh on Doug Love? (joking here)
MocoLoco you hit the nail on the head!!!!
Marcus Aurelius I wish I could cosign with you but the Obama administration had nothing to do with all of those women who worked for Black and Decker down there on the Eastern Shore whose jobs went south of our borders to good ole Mexico.
If I were a greedy CEO who only cared about money, I would outsource knowing good and well people would blame Obama and not my greedy self and still buy my products. But then again here is another example of how we argue amoung our fellow Americans while our govornment runs all willie nillie and we the people are getting the life sucked out of us and the middle class is dwindling. Lets research companies who are employing Americans and invest in them, buy from them. Let tell Apple build your product here not in China and I'll buy them. Guess what It's not the Obama administration alone! It's me it's you buying all of this crap coming in from overseas. And guess what! When we had a chance to buy American many of us didn't until there is very little American made anything besides babies and guess what! Thanks to all of these dead beat dads your tax dollars are taking care of them to.
11:22 am on Thursday, October 18, 2012
I bring up Apple because I had no clue about them. I bought my ex-wife an ipad. I got the shock of my life when I tracked the package and saw it had just left Shang-hi or however you spell it. That was my wake up call!
B Allen
2:32 pm on Friday, October 19, 2012
Hell, it is a well known fact that Apple has been using Foxxcon for yrs to build their product. Every mother board just about for computers are built there also. Just about every piece of electronics you get is put together in China. If you look back in history, you will find that Hillary (when she was on the BOD at Walmart, worked with the chinese to have more and more manufactured over there. WhenSlick willie got into the white house, he made more deals with the chinese. But as a bottom line to the stockholders, it had to be done. What needs to be done and Romney is going to do it, is reduce the corporate taxes so American companes can compete with other countries whose companies pay very little corporate tax.
6:07 pm on Sunday, October 21, 2012
Do not be deceived. Romney is playing the "good cop" role in the 2012 "election dog & pony show". Unfortunately for the USA Romney is bought and owned by the very same banking cartel that owns Obama. Lowering the corporate tax rate in the USA is not going to fix anything as it is merely a distraction to cover the new world order's agenda. The US $ must collapse in order to initiate a multi national currency (much like the euro). Ultimately all currencies will be collapsed systematically to usher in a one world currency. No matter who wins the election the USA will continue on the path of slowly being dismantled to the point where the people of the USA are begging for anyone to save them. When that happens the new world order will gladly step up to seize control of what is left of the once great USA.

News Update
Photos courtesy of the FBI: This man is being searched for in connection with a child sexual abuse case. The FBI has not said whether he is a suspect, only that he is a person of interest in the case.
Staff report
Published: Monday, November 19, 2012 5:10 PM CST
The FBI is seeking the public's assistance with identifying an unknown individual who may be able to provide valuable information regarding the sexual exploitation of a child.
The individual of interest first came to the FBI's attention in November 2005 after a series of photographs surfaced on the Internet depicting a prepubescent female, about 10 years old, posing naked in sexually explicit positions. Also visible in the photographs is an unknown male who can be seen witnessing the child's behavior from a bed nearby. These photographs have been circulated/traded on various illegal child pornography Internet forums.
Enhancement of the background of one of the photographs identified what appears to be a child's drinking cup from the QuikTrip chain of gas stations. This image led investigators to believe that the photographs were likely taken prior to November 2005 in one of the areas where QuikTrip stores are located. This has led investigators to believe the man may be in the DFW Metroplex.
A baseball cap displaying what could be the logo of a local sports team, as well as a partial image of what appears to be a telephone book, are also clues which may provide valuable information regarding the location of this endangered child.
This individual's identity and current whereabouts are unknown. He appears to be a white male between the ages of 55 and 65 with brown eyes, gray hair, and a full beard and mustache.
A photograph and informational poster depicting the unknown man are being disseminated to the public and can be found online at the FBI website at
Anyone with information to provide should contact their local FBI office, submit a tip online at
, or call the FBI's toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

It Would Be Easier If by Ken Thomson and Slow/Fast: An Album Review
I continue my exploration of "jazz" music that inhabits a genre best described as "other" with It Would be Easier If, a new album released in the United States on November 9 by Ken Thomson and the ensemble Slow/Fast. Ken Thomson is a Brooklyn-based composer, clarinetist, and saxophonist who writes fully-formed and notated jazz compositions that are then fleshed out by Slow/Fast—trumpeter Russ Johnson, bassist Adam Armstrong, guitarist Nir Felder, and drummer Fred Kennedy.
Generally speaking, I think that once the genre has been identified, in order to introduce the listener to the music itself, it's best to leave genre classifications far behind and simply enjoy the well-crafted music or what it is, irrespective of what label someone attaches to it.
And so we have the highly provocative It Would Be Easier If, by Ken Thomson and Slow/Fast, an album comprised of five tracks, nearly all of them at least 9 minutes long.
"Kleine Helmet" features a ruminative melody in the trumpet and bass clarinet, which proves to be an inspired timbre combination. The texture and overall mood here is illuminated by the inclusion of Nir Felder's electric guitar, with chords that waft in the air like some welcome and lingering fragrance. Interestingly, as the opening track, "Kleine Helmet" acts as a palette cleanser of sorts, alleviating the effects of whatever other music you were just listening to, or whatever other activity you were engage in prior to this.
After the almost meditative nature of the opener, the listener previously uninitiated in the work of Ken Thomson may find "Goddamn You, Ice Cream Truck" a real shock. The immediate auditory assault of distorted guitar more commonly found in alternative rock and certain derivations of hardcore is quickly joined by the twin riffs of trumpet and clarinet, first in unison with one another. But then the instruments diverge, both rhythmically and melodically, as chromaticism creeps in to add further tension. I'm not sure that I've ever consciously thought of jazz as aggressive music (and certainly not angst-ridden), but while listening to "Goddamn You," that's exactly what I thought. The brilliance of the rhythmic precision here cannot be overstated. Thomson sees the congruities of jazz and hard rock, in both the licks and the rhythms they employ, and perhaps more importantly the emotions both musics can embody.
Throughout, the drums are an indispensable constant, but with all the activity in the sonic foreground, the brilliance of Fred Kennedy on this song may go unnoticed at first. An extended improvised guitar solo from Nir Felder allows the listener to focus solely on the melody and the groove in which it nestles, at least temporarily.
Again in "Goddamn You, Ice Cream Truck," Thomson's intuition and compositional prowess comes to the fore—his uncanny sense of musical architecture, pacing, and interestingly, portion size. By this I mean that Thomson seems to understand that there is only so much the human ear can pick up on and latch onto at any given time, and with this in mind, presents his musical ideas succinctly and in digestible amounts. There is never "too much" sound, too much to listen to at any one time, and he never lingers on a particular theme longer than is prudent.
The song "No, no, no" begins with drummer Kennedy painting a decidedly more ambient and abstract landscape for the first 82 seconds of the song, before trumpet and clarinet chime in with harmonic drones that wash over the ear in ways that can be soothing one moment, slightly apprehension-building the next. The guitar rounds out the textural and timbre-related imbalances that come with the absence of palpable low-voice presence. A shorter drum solo interjects itself into the drone, and the full force of the drone dissipates, only slightly, to make room for a tasty sax outro. "No, no, no" is a striking composition worth poring over, beautiful and grating all at once. And as the median track on the album, it serves as the influential force of balance tying the other four pieces together.
"Wanderangst" sounds like the title suggests. The track starts off much like any other "standard" contemporary jazz piece, plus the petite twinkling of a glockenspiel. But these elements only lull the listener into a false sense of security. Any perceived meandering gets obliterated with frenzied licks that will cause severe melodic dizziness, even while the players articulate the notes with pinpoint accuracy and unmitigated intensity. Any further verbal explanation would not do this piece justice.
"It Would Be Easier If" is a perfectly acceptable closing track, but after four consecutive edge-of-your-seat musical microcosms, a first listen to this final song found it somehow lacking when compared to the dynamism of the others. That being said, the song ends in an unexpected place, and the result is a satisfying one that rewards repeat listens.
It Would Be Easier If is a crazily engaging set of musical compositions that demand equally engaged listening. Thomson takes his listeners on a sonic joyride that proves as meticulous and well-crafted as it is raucous and unpredictable. The lines between jazz, prog-rock, and hardcore/metal elements were never smeared with such blessed creativity as they are here. Thomson has a real knack for creating music that has momentum, a clear arc that communicates to the listener, "We're going somewhere, and it's going to be intriguing."

Virginia Voters: Cheated by Two-Candidate Ballot on Super Tuesday?
Voters will decide between Romney and Paul; other campaigns didn't secure enough signatures to qualify for the ballot.
In the states holding a Republican presidential primary on Super Tuesday, voters will choose among four candidates. But in Virginia, only two names will appear on the ballot: Texas Congressman Ron Paul and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Some Virginia voters, who so far have donated more than $4 million to help elect a Republican president, feel a little cheated.
"The primary would have been more lively with more candidates on the GOP ballot," conceded Anthony Bedell, chairman of the Fairfax County Republican Committee. "That being said, the rules to get on the ballot have been in place for some time. All the campaigns were aware of the rules and what they had to do to qualify for the ballot on March 6th."
Two of the GOP candidates whose names will not appear on the ballot—Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum—are residents of Fairfax County.
"It's odd for major candidates to not make the ballot, but voters shouldn't feel 'cheated.' We're all going to get a lot of attention come the fall," said Stephen Bragaw, a government professor at Sweet Briar College near Lynchburg. "Plus, for supporters of Ron Paul, he finally gets his 'one on one' against a frontrunner."
Paul supporters were out in force earlier this week at a rally attended by the candidate in Springfield.
The last GOP presidential primary in Virginia saw Paul best Romney, among a larger group of candidates. While John McCain got 50 percent of the vote and Mike Huckabee 41 percent, Paul got 4.5 percent and Romney 3.7 percent, according to the Virginia Public Access Project.
Virginia Voters Not Too Focused on Super Tuesday
"Voters are being shortchanged by having only two names on the ballot," said Mark Rozell, professor of Public Policy at George Mason University. "The restrictive GOP ballot access procedures have rendered the primary in Virginia almost a non-event."
This year, "Virginia is not seriously in play in the GOP primary," Rozell said. "Thus, the results here will largely be ignored by national media. A Romney victory here will be taken as a given. All the focus will be on other states. Too bad—because Virginia has played an important role in the past. In 2000 on the GOP side, Bush and McCain were in a stiff battle, and the Bush win in the state solidified his path to the nomination. Given the long drawn-out competition this year, Virginia could have been a big player in the process."
Gainesville resident Rachel Suson, visiting the Alexandria waterfront this week with 9-month-old daughter Bella, said she does not plan to vote in the primary, because it's too hard to take off from work. She said if she were voting, it would be for Ron Paul. "I'm not really a Republican or a Democrat," she said.
Walter "Tripp" Howell of Alexandria also has one foot in both parties, saying this week that although he is a longtime supporter of Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat, he also supports Romney for president and plans to vote for him on Tuesday. "I'm satisfied with Mitt Romney; he's a businessman," he said.
Springfield resident Chris Mayer, who called himself "on the fence politically," said he probably will not vote in the primary. "Politics lately has been disappointing," he said. "It doesn't matter what we do, we get the same result."
The fact that there are only two candidates on the ballot hasn't registered with some Virginia voters, a quick street survey this week showed. One of those potential voters was Jennifer Schulz of Alexandria who said she's "leaning toward" Santorum, but hadn't realized he was not going to be on the ballot Tuesday. "I don't want to vote for Romney and definitely not Ron Paul," she said.
Bob King of Alexandria, watching the ducks paddle in the water on the Alexandria waterfront Thursday with 17-month grandson Dylan, said he's not particularly satisfied with any of the GOP candidates, but wishes he could somehow mix them all together to make the perfect candidate.
King said he is disillusioned with the Republican Party. "It's an absolute joke," he said. "The process in Virginia is ludicrous." He said he doesn't believe primaries in general are reflective of the population at large.
Mike Ambrose of Falls Church, echoed those same sentiments, and said he might be out of town Tuesday and isn't sure if he'll vote. He called the Republican primary ballot "a little bizarre" and said infighting among Republicans was playing into Democrats' hands.
"It's just the whole thing is extremely frustrating right now," Ambrose said. "We seem to be battling ourselves instead of talking about the issues."
Gingrich Campaign: Virginia Ballot Issue an 'Unexpected Setback'
Virginia's rules require each campaign to secure 400 signatures in each of the Commonwealth's 11 congressional districts. Ballot Access News reported that Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry would have qualified had the state Republican Party not double-checked the validity of the signatures. Ballot Access News reported that the party only started verifying signatures in 2011, after being sued previously.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has since taken himself out of the race, filed a lawsuit against the state Board of Elections—later joined by Gingrich, Santorum, Jon Huntsman and Michele Bachmann—to appear on the primary ballot, but was unsuccessful.
"I'm sorry it's a limited choice for voters," said Oakton resident Jayne Young, president of the New Providence Republican Women. "They all had a level playing ground. All the candidates were playing from the same rules, they knew what was required, but that doesn't mean that it's easy or that it's doable. Virginia is known as one of the toughest states to get your name on the ballot."
How difficult was it to get on the ballot? Gingrich's campaign likened Virginia's signature-gathering process to Pearl Harbor. "Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941," campaign director Michael Krull wrote on the Gingrich Facebook page. "We have experienced an unexpected set-back, but we will re-group and re-focus with increased determination, commitment and positive action. Throughout the next months there will be ups and downs; there will be successes and failures; there will be easy victories and difficult days — but in the end we will stand victorious."
Gingrich turned in signatures but officials could not verify all of them. "We hired somebody who turned in false signatures," Gingrich told the media afterward. Santorum did not attempt to gather signatures.
Nevertheless, that still leaves political donors like Kevin and Liza Hutchinson of Old Town Alexandria, who donated $5,000 to the Gingrich campaign in October according to Federal Election Commission records, out in the cold come Tuesday, unable to vote for their candidate in the primary.
"If Gingrich's backers should be angry with anyone it should be with Gingrich," said Rich Galen, a former top aide to Gingrich when he was speaker and currently a columnist and Republican strategist. "Remember how he crowed about not needing a traditional campaign nor a traditional staff? He hired some firm to gather the signatures and the firm got caught, as I understand it, cheating and he didn't make the ballot. Romney and Paul figured it out. Statewide candidates in Virginia figure it out all the time. He has no one to blame but himself."
No Write-Ins Allowed
And for anyone thinking of writing in a candidate's name on the ballot, think again. The Virginia State Board of Elections has issued the following memo to all election officials: "No ballot issued during the Republican Primary on March 6, 2012 will contain an area where a write-in name may be entered. In the case of electronic voting equipment, the option for a write-in vote has been disabled. In the case of paper ballots, if a name is written in a blank area on a ballot, or a name is scratched through and another is inserted, it will not register as a vote. In no way will defacement of an official ballot be tallied as a vote for any person other than those candidates currently listed."
So, should Virginia voters feel cheated? "Cheated is…too strong a word," said Northern Virginia tea party member John Jaggers. "Concern is a better way to put it."
"I don't feel cheated in that these were the rules ahead of time, and they knew them," said Mark Kelly, former chairman of the Arlington County Republicans.
"Four years ago Republicans didn't seem to have problems getting the signatures to get on the ballot," Kelly said. "While I'd certainly like to have as many choices as possible, at the end of the day… the rules are the rules. That speaks to me. I have spoken to other Republicans who feel cheated. I would hope they would come and vote anyway."
"Usually, to turn people out in a primary you have to work to do that," he said. "I haven't gotten the first phone call from either campaign."

I won't vote for Paul, and will not vote for Romney (because he's endorsed by McDonnell) unless McDonnell vetoes the abortion bill by Tuesday.
Since I can't write in "NONE OF THE ABOVE" which I usually do when I can't vote for any of the candidates in a race, I plan to try to cast an empty ballot on Tuesday.
7:00 pm on Friday, March 2, 2012
I agree regarding romney, but not Paul for he knows the principle of subsidiary, which states the fed has no business intruding citizen's liberties. It is up to the lower level of government, the states to decide, in the case of the infamous abortion. Do you know of any president once as president has ordered or will order the states his way -that would be outrageous, not even obama (I hope) is willing to do it.
A blank vote means a vote for romney because, unfortunately, weak minds have been lured by promiscuity and they want to change only the name -from obama to romney who are the dictators of relativism.

Jonathan, if you're referring to me (TA), it's not because I support one of the others. They didn't qualify, and thus don't belong on the ballot. They made their beds, so to speak.
The message will be to the Republican Party that they are not providing candidates the electorate wants.

Why should any established party, either one, tell the people of America who they're allowed to vote for??? That means we need their approval to be able to vote for someone.
One would think that, with the country in as poor a shape as it is these days, we would be looking for any help we could get to get back on track.
But I guess, with the Washington Politicians having NO connection with MAINSTREET SMALLTOWN america, it's just a bother to them to allow the people they don't want onto the ballot.
Jonathan Erickson
4:47 pm on Friday, March 2, 2012
I'm quite content with the choices the republican party has versus the democrats. And yes I vote every election as a member of the electorate. Who would you have on the ballot that would make it seem like you were not being cheated? I do not care who McDonnell supports as I can make my own mind up about Romney without his help. His endorsement has nothing to do with anyone voting for Romney unless we are getting back to stupid as in Samuel L. Jackson who voted for a president because he was black.
T Ailshire
4:57 pm on Friday, March 2, 2012
The comment about not supporting Romney is due to McDonnell's stance on the abortion bill. I have vowed not to vote for a Virginia Republican or for a national ticket that holds McDonnell's name or endorsement (see amcit.wordpress.com for rationale) unless McDonnell vetoes that disgusting bill.

Jonathan Erickson
6:52 pm on Friday, March 2, 2012
Isn't Vitriol a old timers energy drink? Seems a little backwards to me. Can Romney say thanks but no thanks. I think what a woman does is between herself, other and the doctor. Don't need the state the feds or the church involved. Does a endorsement really stand as a reason to back or not to back a canidate. If that's the case who is snoop dog endorsing or how about the unions or maybe China? What is Romneys stance on abortion that is probably going to make you angry. Look at the current office holder making a political football out of abortion and contraceptives. I know Geritol.
7:07 pm on Friday, March 2, 2012
Ron Paul all the way. He's the only candidate with a consistent track record and support from independents to beat Obama. http://www.thestatecolumn.com/articles/2012/02/28/poll-ron-paul-bests-obama-for-the-first-time-nationally/ He was the only one that had grass roots supporters getting him on the ballot. Romney has so much money he paid a company to collect signatures months before the deadline. Newt was paying GOP lackeys up to $5 a signature up until the filing deadline and look how miserably he failed.

Terrence Dankel

If you propose to lead a country, at least run an effective Campaign...which includes accurate signatures for Primary purposes. Similar to telling the electorate you can do without them for that stage of the game.
7:54 am on Saturday, March 3, 2012
We can't have a "progressive" Mitt Romney as Republican president if we want government to get out of the way of our personal lives and bring prosperity back. He has governed with a heavy hand against civil liberties and does not believe in free market capitalism or just doesn't understand how economics works in a true free society,tariffs against China advocate, is just a sample.
Ron Paul will not win the nomination so voting for him this Tuesday will give the national victory. Ron Paul winning Virginia would be a real victory for those who want their candidate that is not on the ballot to win by not giving Romney delegates. That is key to keep Romney big government "manager" out of the White house.
A vote for Paul is a vote for Santorum or Gingrich. Don't vote for Romney but DO VOTE! This to important not to.
In Liberty,
Carolyn Jones
9:30 am on Saturday, March 3, 2012
The problem with the above strategy is that Paul may likely give his votes to Romney,which means Romney collects all votes either way. Those Virginians who want their voice to be heard for a conservative have been silenced. We cannot win for losing. Do we live in America or Ameritopia? I am more convinced each day that it is the latter.

First, excellent article. It balances the facts of the election rules with opinions on both sides of the issue. Other publications could take some lessons from this.
Second, excellent discussion for the most part. It's refreshing to see a comment section that isn't filled with attacks.
Finally, get out there and vote. It always amazes me how low of a percentage of turnout there is for most of the primary elections in our Commonwealth. I understand the percentages being low due to people not "crossing over" to the other party's primary, but single digits or 10-15 percent is quite low.

In the 50's Oregon had a provision that the names on the ballot were decided by the Secretary of State based on the criterion that those people with active campaigns for the presidency should run. In 1960 this was the first time that Kennedy ran against Humphrey as both campaigns were avoiding a head-to-head contest. In 2012 such a process would be advantageous to the people of Virginia.

The fact that they are all coming from well-established parties and have had long careers in politics-- well, let's just say this is a new face on being two-faced. As for the others-- THEY made the rules the way THEY wanted for the EXPRESS PURPOSE of making it hard to compete with THEM. I think its just tough-tittie now that its coming back to bite them in the butt. I think the word "hilarious" might sum it up nicely. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch of fellows.

Sean, thanks for your comments; currently, no write-ins are allowed in Virginia.
5:43 pm on Tuesday, March 6, 2012
I won't vote this election since my candidate is not present on the ballot and I have been prevented from writing in my candidate of choice.
It seems a bit odd that write-ins are not permitted in a democracy like we have here in the USA. Do you know what is the intention of such a rule and how can it be reversed?
It seems that voting is a right to express people's candidate preferences and the choices should not be limited. These rules have essentially limited the candidate choices and denied voters their right to write-in their preference. Virginia has handcuffed their voters to specific candidates and eliminated their freedom to choose someone else. Also, Virginia has shown preference to those candidates with the most resources to get the needed signatures.
Lauren Jost
6:06 pm on Tuesday, March 6, 2012
There was legislation in the General Assembly this session about write-ins in primaries. It was tabled until the 2013 session, but if passed would have allowed primary write-ins as early as next year. As it stands, Virginia election law § 24.2-529 does not allow write-ins for primaries. General elections allow write-ins, however.

It is indeed just too bad that Santorum isn't on the ballot. I think the Commonwealth's Teahadists are just crazy enough to vote for a candidate who scares most independents.
Romney as the Repub candidate is a close election; Santorum as Repub candidate is an easy win for Obama.
Beck Lomax
7:18 pm on Saturday, March 3, 2012
This entire issue is based on PARTY politics. The simple solution is to vote independently, exclusive of a party, and to not be a lemming by subscribing to what a political party demands of your vote. Political leaders are suppose to work for you...not the other way around. When you kowtow to the whims of a party, you are little more than a cog advancing the gears in a machine that cares nothing of you until election time rolls around again. That certainly seems to be perpetual these days, doesn't it?

It completely baffles me the disrespect Ron Paul gets...If you take the time and listen to what he says how could you possibly want Santorum or Romney? Is America really that dumb? Romney will say and do anything to win including cheat... and santorum is believes that only his version of what God is holds any weight and would take away freedom in the name of God when it was God who gave it to us...
Jonathan Erickson
7:01 am on Sunday, March 4, 2012
No disrespect intended but the odds are really about 50 to 1 that Paul will be chosen President.The closest contender is Romney. Obama is 5/11 to win and Romney is 5/12 with Santorum at 12 to 1. Outside chance for Obama to be defeated, he has a rock star image and his nearest competition is a boring Mormon. How boring you ask, he's a moderate Mormon! Oh my. The church should not be a issue of any sort and if it is as in Santorum's case run very fast from him. Will Romney be a better President then Obama I think so. I do think he will not have to try very hard to outshine BO as President. I don't care if my President can sing, dance , play basketball or drink beer with the boys I need him to govern in such a way that we are on a level playing field with foreign countries and to quit wasting money on failed policies.

You can not allow the parties to be in charge of the administration of elections for many reasons, most of all being that is would be unconstitutional. The Constitution charges the states with administration of elections, and you can not provide a private entity, such as a political party or a corporation, with the power and responsibility reserved for the states.
While it is disappointing when candidates are not on ballots, the harsh truth is that neither the Santorum or Gingrich campaign met the legal requirements for having their candidate's name on the ballot. Just as the rest of us have to meet deadlines and obligations in our lives every day, the campaigns had their responsibilities, and they failed. Maybe they shouldn't be President if they can't even efficiently manage their campaigns.

Most people misunderstand Ron Paul's point of view. His politics are firm, but not "sound bite" material. He supports justified and declared war. He opposes endless undeclared wars that cost the lives of our soldiers and billions of dollars.
Paul supports government action. But Paul opposes the endless expansion of FEDERAL government power. If you read the constitution, it is clear that certain powers are granted to government, and certain powers are granted to the states and the people. So many Republicans complain about 'activist' judges and 'socialist' programs, yet they continue to allow the Federal government to expand. Paul would move us to a legal basis for power rather than the continued power grabs of a large central bureaucracy.
If you want a government that controls how people act, think, and decides what health care you should buy, then vote for Obama or any of the other Republican candidates. If you want a president who will actually change the United States back to a legal republic, then a vote for Ron Paul is the only option. Santorum wants to use government to tell people how to live in social issues, Obama wants to have the government tell you how to live on everything else. Is it really the government's job to decide these things for us? Or should we be willing to let each state and each person decide for themselves, and govern as a free people ought to?

What he can't tell us is exactly *how* he will do all the things he claims to want. The President can't govern by fiat (despite evidence to the contrary) and Ron Paul can't convince Congressmen to work with him. Most of his introduced legislation lacks significant number of cosponsors, much less enactment. So he has made a career of talking a good game, but can't or won't deliver.
That said, we have two of the four remaining, and I don't feel cheated *by this primary;" I feel cheated by the party.

6:37 pm on Monday, March 5, 2012
Attention Virginia voters who support Gingrich or Santorum: If you want Gingrich or Santorum to have ANY chance of election, vote for Paul. Otherwise you are conceding a lot of delegates to Romney. If you believe that Paul cannot win, a vote for Paul is a vote for Gingrich or Santorum. If you fail to vote for Paul, you are validating that he can win and that you prefer Romney. Own up to it!

I would be interested to know how much redistricting had to do with candidates not getting on the ballot. I know as someone collecting signatures (as a volunteer) for a candidate for congress, it has become very difficult to collect enough because the DOJ has not even officially blessed the new lines as they have been drawn. Consequently, we are only collecting signatures in the overlap area, and that makes it exponentially more difficult to gather the requisite signatures plus enough above and beyond knowing some of them will get tossed for being on the wrong side of the lines. I wonder if Gingrich and Santorum faced these same difficulties.
Mary Ann Barton

Hi Karen, a volunteer w/the Gingrich campaign reportedly submitted fake names as part of the 10,000 signatures needed, including Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and the entire cast of 'Mad Men,' according to the exec director of the state GOP, quoted in a recent article in the Richmond Times-Dispatch: http://bit.ly/y7jQZF

By now we've all spent countless hours on Flickchart endlessly agonizing over matchups in relentless pursuit of our ultimate movie lists. Flickchart is a drug, and like any junkie, I'm always looking for a better high. Something new to satisfy my movie ranking addiction. Globally ranking movies is great, but sometimes I want to narrow down my choices and really focus on a specific type of movie. Fortunately, the site allows for customized filters allowing for matchups that are more specific. This lets you quickly polish up your 'best of the decade' lists, or aids in helping you pick your favorite slasher flick, but what about when you get REALLY specific. Just how many 'Unglamorized Spy Films From the 90s' are there? Exactly how many crime dramas starring Robert Di Niro have I seen? This is the purpose of this series; I seek out the most obscure lists, watch all the films, make the definitive call on how they stack up against each other, and hopefully find some underrated diamonds in the rough.
In this first article, I combine two of my favorite things: cheesy 80′s flicks and dinosaurs. The category is 'Prehistoric Fantasies from the 1980s'. Now in the past twenty years we've been treated to some of the very best of this genre, with films like 'Jurassic Park' and 'Ice Age', but narrowing the focus to the 80s leaves just four films. Of course there is the one almost everyone over the age of twenty has seen, 'The Land Before Time'. Maybe you even have some fond memories watching the campy 'Baby… Secret of the Lost Legend' on cable, but beyond that it starts to get pretty obscure. There is the low brow comedy 'Caveman' starring a Beatle, and then there is the Daryl Hannah lead 'Clan of the Cave Bear' chronicling the difficulties of a young Cro-Magnon woman living in a clan of Neanderthals. Despite having such a specific genre, there is a wide range of types of films in this category. From family friendly to satirical, to serious drama, it's almost impossible to compare these films. But that's Flickchart. Only one will triumph and be crowned as the 'Best Prehistoric Fantasy from the 1980s'!

With its grand reopening in 2005, the Louise C. Murdock Theatre married the technological trappings of a modern cinema to its historic, 80-year-old interior. The theater's original frescoes and iridescent, art-deco chandelier greet guests as they make their way toward a single 25'x16' screen. Framed by lush red curtains, the digital canvas displays images from a digital projector with high-definition capabilities, accompanied by the boisterous booms of Dolby surround sound. The theater screens a diverse calendar of cinematic fare, including limited-release arthouse films and classic foreign cinema augmented by popcorn and other epicurean goodies from the full concession stand stocked with snacks, alcohol, and more. The Murdock also proudly projects simulcast and prerecorded productions through partnerships with The Metropolitan Opera and the National Theatre, transporting international stage performances to the Murdock without the hassle of getting sandbags through customs.

An enthusiastic waitstaff delivers each meal directly to customers' tables. Crown Uptown Theatre can accommodate up to 400 theatergoers or scarecrows stuffed with recycled playbills during evening performances each Thursday–Sunday, and matinee plays for children every Friday and Saturday.
At The Strike Zone, batters of any age can practice their baseball or softball swings against the pitches of fast- and slow-speed machines. Machines' pitching height can also be adjusted to accommodate guests' varying heights or a child's minute-to-minute growth spurts.

Don't worry if, while attending a movie night at Twist, you begin to hear a steady clicking sound—nothing is wrong with the craft shop's projector. The movie owes its inadvertent soundtrack to the needles that click together as guests busily knit and crochet scarves, mittens, and blankets. At social events such as Saturday's Movie Night, as well as at introductory classes held throughout the week, Twist's staff members foster an informal environment in which they help guests hone their clothes-making skills. They stock their cubbies with polychromatic yarns and other supplies and keep the shop open for crafters in need of a nonjudgmental place to knit tube socks for their kitchen table's legs.

What was supposed to be a day off for the Sabres turned into a full-fledged practice Wednesday. YNN's Andy Young has more on the club as they try to snap out of their early season funk with Montreal in town Thursday night.
"We don't need a day off right now, we need to focus on things that are going to improve our club," said forward Steve Ott. "Collectively, all in here, we all wanted to come in, skate, get something out of today."
"I don't think it's a punishment day. I don't think it's a 'hey you guys need to wake up' kind of day. We need to learn. We need to spend some time in the classroom, so to speak," said goalie Ryan Miller.
A big problem for the Sabres this season is they're dead last in the NHL when it comes to winning faceoffs. They've also struggled defensively when they lose faceoffs in their own zone. So Lindy Ruff put his team to the test, with a drill where defenders had to do pushups if they let the shot through off the draw.
"If you lose the draw clean, my point today was, it's almost impossible to get in that shot lane. We get it 30 percent of the time, they get it 70 percent of the time, that's hard hockey. Our faceoffs have to get better," Ruff said.
"It's affecting us big time. Crisis-wise, it's something that needs to be cleaned up. We need to be better. Wingers need to help out faceoffs, defensemen need to help out faceoffs," said Ott.
It's winning those games within the game the Sabres believe will result in more wins on the scoresheet.
Patrick Kaleta was very happy to be back on the ice as he tries to return after a scary neck injury suffered against the Leafs last Tuesday.
The hit from behind put him in the hospital, but the winger said he's hopeful to play soon.

What's Up With Welch's Grape Jelly?
8 comments:
This I think is a new product that Alton is pitching for them. It has no HFS
Havent tried it, prefer Smucker's Jams for "everyday" Grape "Jelly" fix - 10 January, 2012 08:06
- CEN said...
I think you saw the natural spreads commercial too. It starts out with "plump and ripe out here means delicious in here" and it shows a dad and a boy picking grapes and enjoying their fabulous grape jelly sandwiches. I swear I have seen that sucker about 20 times already.

I hate squeeze jelly.

Thanks to Anonymous and CEN - I caught the ad again today and sure enough, it was for "Natural Grape Spread."
Wonder why they have to call it "Spread" instead of "jelly" or "jam" or whatever. Must have something to do with the sugar content or something.
I think it's kind of shitty that they make the ads so similar to the ones for their regular products that it causes confusion, but opn the other hand it's nice to see US companies returning to the use of sugar instead of relying on HFCS. - 11 January, 2012 22:49
- lindysez.com said...
I have to agree that it's hard to distinguish what is a good product and what is still crap. Advertisers are deceptive...to say the least. I especially love that all things now are "whole grain"...but it means nothing if it's not whole whole...oh well...thank you for checking and exposing this to us, for us...
- 13 January, 2012 22:16

I just picked up the Natural Grape Spread to try, and mine does NOT have HFCS or Corn Syrup. I have to look at the labels of everything I buy, because some no HFCS claims still have that ingredient in there. I am intolerant to any form of corn syrup, so I looked. Sugar is the only sweetener listed.
- 24 January, 2012 13:05
I just came upon your blog (thanks for the capicola post).
I haven't really decided how I feel about HFCS yet but I certainly prefer to see real sugar used. I do hope you know that Brown Sugar Pop-Tarts do contain it. - 10 April, 2012 01:22
In other news, the only BBQ sauce I have found so far that does not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup comes from the Archer Farms brand at Target. It's called Midwest BBQ sauce, and fortunately I love it! At least with jelly there are many natural alternatives.

Pfeifferhorn Summit Log (#13611)
- Signed By: Scott Griffin
- Date Submitted: June 27, 2004
The hike was quite interesting and challenging. I started from Red Pine trailhead, passed by Red Pine lakes then did some rock scrambling on the ridge towards the summit. The view was quite spectacular. If you want a good workout for a day hike, I recommend you give this hike a try.

The Rome community and the GHC students finally got see all the hard work, which includes building two basketball programs and numerous gym renovations, that has gone on during the past year to make basketball at GHC a reality.
The Lady Chargers and Chargers played their first-ever home games hosting Wallace State.
Unfortunately for the fans that came to witness the historic games, only one of the GHC teams earned a victory.
The Lady Chargers rolled to a 75-61 victory to improve to 2-0, while the Chargers lost a double-digit second-half lead to fall to the Lions, 79-70.
"It was incredible to see that many people in the gym and that kind of atmosphere," said GHC women's coach Brandan Harrell. "There was a lot of pressure and anticipation for today, and I thought it was important for the kids to play hard for all the fans.
"And they did for most of the game," added Harrell. "The girls really appreciated that many people coming out, and I hope we won some fans over tonight."
Athletic director and head men's coach Phil Gaffney wasn't thrilled with how the Chargers' game ended, but was excited about the historic day.
"There was a great crowd there and it was exciting," said Gaffney. "It was very surprising because when you first start something off it takes a few years. ... It's not like a 1,000 kids from the dorms are going to come over. Everybody we have is from the community and school community. To have that many people there was very impressive, very surprising and we're very appreciative."
The Lady Chargers were led by Amber Curtis who finished with a team high 17 points. GHC had five players finish with double-digit points with Seandre Lee scoring 13, Shakierya McClendon with 12, Shanique Holston finishing with 11 and Gabrielle with 10.
Former Darlington standout Rachael Turrentine saw plenty of playing time, and finished with two rebounds and an assist.
The large crowd saw the Lady Chargers build a 20-point led at the half. Despite the Lady Chargers committing 27 turnovers, and missing 16 free throws out of 22 attempts, GHC was able to maintain a double-digit lead the entire second half.
"We got a little over cautious there in and second half and made some silly turnovers," said Harrell. "I think the free throws were the biggest signs of our nerves, because we went 13-for-16 in our first game.
"I think the nerves crept in when they got on the line," added Harrell. "Hopefully we can chalk that one up to nerves."
Damon Mitchell led the Chargers with 19 points, and former Armuchee star Matt Catanzano finished with 15 points and five rebounds.
Former Rome standout Jamalcolm Griffin started for Wallace State and finished with eight points and four rebounds.
The men's game was a back-and-forth affair in the first half, and the Lions led 37-36 at the half. The Chargers used a 10-0 run to take a 54-44 lead with less than 12 minutes to go in the game.
That's when Wallace State picked up the defense and went to a full-court press.
The Chargers had trouble handling the press, and the Lions went on 13-2 run to tie the game at 60 with 6:00 to go.
Wallace State continued to press, and hit its free throws down the stretch to hand GHC the loss.
"Just to have a chance to beat a team like Wallace state, who went to the Sweet 16 last year, in our second game was pretty exciting for us," said Gaffney. "But blowing a 10-point lead was obviously disappointing.
"We just did a poor job of handling the press and that's my fault," added Gaffney. "We'll go back and look at it and I'm going to have to do a better job of making sure everybody understands their role on the press. The fact that we went toe-to-toe with a team that was in the Sweet 16 last year was very encouraging."
The Lady Chargers' next action will be Tuesday when they host Georgia Northwestern Tech, and the men's team will return to action when they host Central Georgia Tech on Saturday for their first conference game of the season.

Comments about Leslie Dame 6-Drawer Deluxe CD Modular Storage Rack in Oak:
this product is great for organizing and keeping c.d.'s in one location.I didn't want a tower on display due to room configuration.The storage rack fits perfectly on the bottom shelf of the entertainment center and matches the oak finish.
