When war was declared, the Regular Army had about 10,000 men, and about half of those were new recruits. "Each Regular Army infantry regiment was recruited from a particular state (or states). Rifle, artillery, and dragoons were recruited at large...Most, but not all, of the men recruited for a particular infantry regiment were from the state of recruitment."[1]

239: Blagofaire
Title text: Things were better before the Structuring and the Levels.
Facts become distorted as time moves forward. What do we know about the Elizabethan times? They spoke strange English. What will 400 years from now think of the first twenty years of the Internet? Crazy people said crazy things online. Will we even say "online" 400 years from now? Won't the internet be everywhere, and everyone on it all the time in their retinal implants that being "offline" will seem absurd?
While Cory Doctorow is not in this comic, the character is cosplaying him. This comic inspired several xkcd readers to give Cory Doctorow a red cape and goggles when he won the 2007 EFF Pioneer Award. Cory Doctrow's balloon is featured in 482.
The title Blagofaire might be an amalgamation between Blogosphere, Medieval Faire, and Blag; Randall's way of calling his his blog.
- Man in Red Cape and Goggles: Hey, it worked!
- Cueball: What? Who are you?
- Man in Red Cape and Goggles: I'm from the distant future.
- Cueball: Wow. Hi!
- Man in Red Cape and Goggles: Are you a blogger? I play one of you at our festivals!
- Cueball: Huh?
- Man in Red Cape and Goggles: Like the ren faires of your time — I do reenactments.
- Man in Red Cape and Goggles: We relive the days when the internet was new and free. The days of risky sharing, slashdot, the myspace music renaissance. The generation's finest minds meeting on comment threads, battling roving bands of trolls, and holding the great dialogues of the age!
- Cueball: Is that how you—
- Man in Red Cape and Goggles: We're fuzzy on some details. Did bloggers really wear red capes and goggles and blog from high-altitude balloons?
- Cueball: No!
- Cueball: Well, Cory Doctorow does. But nobody else.

- Structuring and levels?
I still don't understand the title text. Structuring, levels? Can it be explained more thoroughly?126.96.36.199 15:52, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
I can't figure out how to word well enough to add it in, but my interpretation is that's it's a joke about the way that we organize time, with the Structuring and the Levels being like the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment. Someone living through both wouldn't notice a sudden difference between them, while someone looking at them as past events can think of things in terms of decades and centuries, and choose a point at the start, middle or end of the gradual changes which brought about the later time period. 126.96.36.199 22:16, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- I have no other explanation, yet I wonder if there was a time before people tended to simplify past events or things in general. The title text sounds like a reminescence, maybe of how Munroe perceived the early internet. 188.8.131.52 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
No-one else thought that Structuring and Levels referred to some kind of event that restructured the internet of the future? I mean, the future cosplayer speaks of the modern internet as some wild and adventurous place, free of rules and responsibility. The future internet could be strictly regulated, where bloggers can only speak to bloggers of their "level" and a talk thread digressing out of it's place in the Structure would be ruthlessly persecuted!
Or something like that. In fact, the "wizard" explanation is dumb, so I'm gonna change it. -Pennpenn 220.127.116.11 03:51, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
Levels would be the amount companies are going to force people to pay to keep the same Internet that they have now with the end of Net Neutrality and the ability to go to any website without restriction because it does not help pad the pockets of today Government/Corporate overlords18.104.22.168 11:20, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Coming off a bye weekend following a stretch of four games in 11 days, the New England Revolution (7-14-7, 28 pts.) returns to action this weekend against D.C. United (12-10-5, 41 pts.), at 7:30 p.m., on Saturday, September 15, at RFK Stadium.
The Revolution match will be televised regionally on Comcast SportsNet and will also be carried locally on the radio by 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Saturday's match will also complete the three-game, regular-season series with United. D.C. United is already 2-0 against the Revs this season, defeating New England, 2-1, at Gillette Stadium on April 14, and 3-2, when the teams last played on May 26, at RFK Stadium.
Team Notes vs. D.C. United
- Saturday's match is the 59th all-time, regular-season meeting between the New England Revolution and D.C. United, the Revs' most-faced opponent in club history … this will be the 66th overall meeting between the two clubs, who have played four MLS Cup Playoff matches and three U.S. Open contests
- D.C. leads the all-time, regular-season series between the two clubs, 27-23-8 ... the Revs are 8-17-4 at D.C., but have won two of the last three meetings at RFK Stadium
- Saturday's game will conclude the regular-season series between the two teams … D.C. United is already 2-0 against the Revs this season, defeating New England, 2-1, at Gillette Stadium on April 14, and 3-2, when the teams last played on May 26, at RFK Stadium
- New England's loss against D.C. United on April 14 snapped the Revs' six-game unbeaten streak (5-0-1) against United since the start of the 2009 season ... last season, the Revs won their home opener, 2-1, on March 26, and later picked up their first road victory of the season, a 1-0 win at D.C., on July 20
- The Revs' 2011 series win marked the first time either team won three consecutive season series … United won the season series in back-to-back seasons in 1997-08 and 2003-04, while the Revs picked up their first consecutive season series wins in 2009 and 2010, before winning the season series again last year
- Eight of the last 10 meetings – including the last five matches – have resulted in one-goal games … the teams have played to just one draw in that stretch – a 1-1 finish on April 17, 2009 – while the Revs' 2-0 win on April 3, 2010, was the largest advantage for either team during that stretch
- The teams have met in three postseason series, with D.C. holding a 2-1-1 edge in those matches ... however, the Revs defeated United, 1-0, in the most recent playoff meeting on Nov. 5, 2006, to win the Eastern Conference Championship at RFK Stadium and earn a berth in the MLS Cup 2006
Player Notes vs. D.C. United
- Saer Sene has one goal and one assist in two career appearances against D.C. United … Sene scored when the teams last met on May 26 at RFK Stadium and recorded his first career assist on Jose Moreno's goal in the April 14 meeting at Gillette Stadium
- A.J. Soares and Stephen McCarthy are the only other current Revolution players to score a goal against United … Soares recorded his second career goal on a header on May 26, 2012 at RFK Stadium … McCarthy scored the lone goal – his first career game-winning goal – last season in the Revs' 1-0 win at RFK Stadium on July 20, which snapped the team's nine-game winless streak
- Chris Tierney has four assists in eight career appearances against United … Tierney has also recorded the game-winning assist in three of the last six meetings against D.C. … last season, Tierney assisted Stephen McCarthy in the game's only goal on July 20, and picked up game-winning assists in both meetings with D.C. in 2010 … additionally, Tierney earned an assist in the 3-2 loss earlier this season on May 26
- Lee Nguyen has recorded one assist in two appearances against D.C. … Nguyen assisted Jose Moreno's goal on April 14, at Gillette Stadium
- Matt Reis is the Revs' all-time leader in games played in goal (25) against United... Reis has a 8-11-6 record with the Revs against D.C., with four shutouts and a 1.54 goals against average
- Clyde Simms made his first career appearance against his former club on April 14 at Gillette Stadium … Simms made 182 appearances – including 147 starts – in seven seasons with D.C. United, from 2005-2011 … the Revs selected Simms in Stage 2 of the 2011 Re-Entry Process … Simms missed the last meeting with left ankle tendonitis
- Blake Brettschneider made his first appearance against his former club on May 26 at RFK Stadium … Brettschneider made 15 appearances in his rookie season with United in 2011, scoring one goal and recording two assists … the Revs signed Brettschneider on March 6, 2012
Watch Party Saturday in New Hampshire
The Revs travel to D.C. on Saturday, but fans in New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts can catch the action back in New England … beginning at 7 p.m. at Ri Ra in Portsmouth, N.H., fans can join a non-traveling Revolution player and the Rev Girls for drinks, food and fun while watching the game on Comcast SportsNet … for more information – including a list of all the Revolution partner bars – click HERE.
Eastern Conference Rivals Play Tight Contests
D.C. United is the Revs' most-faced opponent in club history, as the two teams have met 58 previous times in the regular season … the familiarity has led to closely-contested contests recently … eight of the last 10 meetings – including the last five – have been one-goal contests … the teams have played to a single draw in that stretch – a 1-1 finish on April 17, 2009 – while the Revs' 2-0 win on April 3, 2010, was the largest advantage for either team during that stretch.
Road Tests in Final Six Pack of Games
Saturday's game in D.C. kicks off the Revs' final six-game stretch of the regular-season and the Revs will be on the road the majority of the time … four of the team's final six games will be played away from Foxborough, all against Eastern Conference opponents … the Revs are 1-10-2 overall on the road this season and are winless (0-7-2) on the road against the East … the Revs' last conference road win on came against this weekend's opponent – a 1-0 win at D.C. United – on July 20, 2011.
Revs To Defend Modest Unbeaten Streak
Last Wednesday's 2-0 win against Columbus snapped the Revs' 10-game winless streak (0-7-3) that dated back to July 14 against Toronto and simultaneously turned the team's run into a three-game unbeaten streak … following a pair of draws against Chivas USA (3-3) on August 29 and Philadelphia (0-0) on September 1, the win pushed the team's current unbeaten run to three games (1-0-2) … the Revs' longest unbeaten streak this season was five games, when the team went 2-0-3 from June 2 to July 8.
Own Goals Received Always Welcomed
Last Wednesday, the Revs got scoring assistance from Columbus' Chad Marshall when he scored an own goal for the Revs … the own goal was the Revs' second own goal received in three games as Chivas USA's Rauwshan McKenzie scored an own goal for New England on August 29 … with two own goals received this season, the Revs are tied with Portland and Salt Lake for the league lead.
A Dozen Multiple-Goal Games in 2012
Wednesday's two-goal performance against Columbus was the Revs 12th multiple-goal game this season … it was the team's third multiple-goal game in four matches, which – coincidently, began with a 4-3 loss at Columbus on August 25 … the Revs now have 12 multiple-goal games this year, the team's highest season total since 2008 (13 multi-goal games in the 30-game schedule).
Imbongo Joins Gang of 14
When Dimitry Imbongo scored his first career goal last Wednesday in the team's win over Columbus, he became the 14th Revolution player to score a goal this season … eight of the 14 goal-scorers – including Imbongo – are new to the Revs this season.

Mono 1.2.6 is an update to Mono 1.2.5 in the Mono 1.2 series, it is a bug fix release for all the supported components, but also includes updates on the 2.0 stack.
All of the changes since 1.2 are documented in the following release notes: 1.2.1, 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.4 and 1.2.5.
Major highlights:
This release includes the engine developed by Mainsoft in the last few months that provides the ASP.NET AJAX stack on the server side. This is the System.Web.Extensions assembly.
The ASP.NET AJAX engine is able to run the open source ASP.NET AJAX Toolkit.
On the client side, we are now bundling Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX Client Library (which is released under the Microsoft Permissive License).
This version of Mono ships with support for servers that speak FastCGI (like lighttpd). This was developed by Brian Nickel during the summer as part of the Summer of Code.
Documentation for setting up sites with FastCGI and Mono is available here.
Robert integrated the work into the main distribution.
The Web browser control is introduced in this release. It has support for basic browsing, but support for manipulating the DOM is not yet supported. This feature requires Mozilla and currently only works on Windows and Linux [Andreia].
OSX support debuts with a native Quartz backend. This means that there is no need to run your applications inside X11, although you still need X11 installed as we use FreeType and font-config that are part of the X11 distribution on OSX) [Geoff, Will Johannson, Attacom ]. This is at this point a preview and not yet fully supported, but many applications now work.
To use Windows.Forms on MacOS, you should use the macpack tool to "wrap" your Windows.Forms application properly (so that users can double-click on it).
WindowsFormsSynchronizationContext has been implemented, this allows callbacks from BackgroundWorker to run on UI thread.
Approximately 100 reported bugs fixed in this cycle (too many to go into the details).
Hazard pointers, to be used by lock-free parallel algorithms (Mark Probst). This improves stability with Thread.Abort-happy workloads.
Support for the PE32+ assembly file format [Paolo].
Support for Managed allocations: the runtime can now perform some allocations completely in managed code without the penalty of trasitioning to unmanaged code [Paolo].
Signifiantly reduced the runtime and memory overhead of providing all the additional interfaces of 2.0 vectors [Paolo].
Implemented lazy loading of the interface dispatch tables, improving memory usage. This feature is available on x86, x86-64 and ARM systems [Paolo].
Support for the CoreCLR security system (used by Silverlight sandboxes) [Mark].
Reduced the size consumed by trampolines, in MonoDevelop's case this saves 160k of memory on startup (Paolo).
New Timer implementation, this version s much faster, uses the ThreadPool and provides the proper semantics that people have been requesting [Paolo].
Generic code sharing: early components for the generics code sharing are now part of this release. Currently you can control the level of code sharing done with the MONO_GENERIC_SHARING environment variable. See the man page for details [Mark].
Silverlight 2.1 libraries are now part of the build (JB Evain).
To compile code that targets Silverlight, use the smcs command line compiler. This preloads all the Silverlight assemblies and also enables the LINQ language version (-langversion:linq) by default.
New mod_mono directives for controlling the life span of mod-mono-server (Marek Habersack).
Startup of mod_mono backends synchronized across all the child apache processes (via a shared memory dashboard).
A new tool mconfig can be used to easily extend your Web.config settings to include new features (like turning an existing ASP.NET app into an AJAX ASP.NET app).
The new mono-asp-apps script is a tool that can be used by RPM-based distributions to install and remove ASP.NET applications from a system. [FIXME: link to the ASP.NET application guidelines deployment]
Some key fixes allow ASP.NET with IronPython to work now [Lluis, Marek and Marek].
SslStream has been implemented (Atsushi).
System.Net.Mail has been vastly improved (Atsushi).
System.Net.NetworkInformation (Windows-only for now, Atsushi).
Fixed a number of serial problems in 81967 by Lukasz Byczynski
The Cecil-based permview tool is now part of Mono, replacing an older reflection based (and incomplete) version [Sebastien]
SSL/TLS thread-synchronization has been fixed. This fixed LDAPS support over multiple threads [Sebastien]
Libgdiplus has been updated to use Cairo 1.4.10 [Sebastien]
Special case for handling path/region excludes from infinity [Yves Bastide]
Added GdipCloneFontFamily function [Dmitriy Lukinov, Sebastien]
TextureBrush now supports transparent bitmaps [Sebastien]
The Mono's library Novell.Directory.Ldap has been synchronized with the Novell's CSHARP LDAP SDK (version 2.1.8). All the changes have been commited together. [N Palaniappan]
Assembly Tuner and Assembly Linker (available as a preview in 1.2.5) (JB Evain).
System.Core updates: Marek Safar, Federico Di Gregorio
The new mono-test-install script can be used to check a Mono installation for common errors.
Support for partial methods has been implemeted [Marek].
To enable this and other LINQ features from the language, you must use -langversion:linq in the command line.
The Silverlight compiler (smcs) has that enabled by default.
Work is underwary to complete the 2.0 API at least to keep the metadata in sync with the framework. We would much rather have methods documented with TODO items or throwing exceptions that not having the methods defined.

Gameloft has released NFL Pro 2012 on the App Store for absolutely zero dollars, a move that I find quite exciting, yet peculiar at the same time. It looks as if the game is similar in style to games such as Smurfs' Village in that you level up and unlock more objects, plays, and players as you progress.
This is quite an intriguing concept as there haven't been any sports games in the App Store to use the freemium model yet. What it essentially does is it allows many people to play the game, and it keeps people playing by giving them incentives such as unlocking a new part of the playbook.
Before, Gameloft had tried delving into the freemium model through games such as Starfront, but it didn't find much success, as many people weren't too comfortable with the idea (including me). But since then, Gameloft has released freemium titles such as The Oregon Trail: American Settler and Green Farm in order to fit the model more closely.
I'm personally very excited to see how this model works in NFL Pro 2012, and we'll have some sort of review up soon.
For now, you can check it out yourself in the App Store for free.
UPDATE: NFL Pro 2012 involves buying parts of the playbook through the money you earn. The game itself is extremely slow because of all the play-choosing and buying you have to do, and it's not really worth it. It basically forces you to use real-world money to actually be good in the game, and it's overall a quite tedious experience. So if you were thinking about downloading it, don't go through the trouble. It's not that great.

Herseth Sandlin rules out run for SD Senate seat
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Former South Dakota U.S. Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin said Monday she will not seek the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Tim Johnson.
Herseth Sandlin, 42, announced her decision on her Facebook page Monday morning and confirmed it to The Associated Press. The Democrat said she decided not to seek her party's nomination for the U.S. Senate because she wants to focus on her family and her job as an attorney and vice president for Raven Industries, a Sioux Falls-based company that makes an array of specialty products for the agricultural, aviation and construction industries.
"I've decided not to run for office in 2014," Herseth Sandlin told The Associated Press.
On her Facebook page, Herseth Sandlin noted that many Democrats had urged her to run for the seat now held by Johnson, a fellow Democrat who announced earlier he will not seek a fourth term next year. She and her husband, Max, and their son, Zachary, live in Sioux Falls, and Herseth Sandlin said her son will be starting kindergarten next year just before the general election.
"We're looking forward to more quality time with family and friends here in Sioux Falls, up at the farm and out on the river. And my career at Raven Industries is everything I had anticipated and more, and continues to be very rewarding," Herseth Sandlin wrote.
Herseth Sandlin lost her first run for Congress in 2002 but won a special election in June 2004. She was later re-elected to three full terms in the U.S. House before losing a re-election bid in 2010 to Republican Kristi Noem.
The only announced candidates for Johnson's seat are former Republican Gov. Mike Rounds and Democrat Rick Weiland, an ex-staffer for former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.
Johnson's son, Brendan Johnson, has also been encouraged to run for the Senate seat, but he has refused to comment on any political plans, saying he remains focused on his job as U.S. attorney for South Dakota.
When Weiland announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination last week, he said he decided to run because he's convinced that Brendan Johnson will not enter the race.

MOOYAH—a 40-plus-unit, fast-casual, "better burger," fries, and shakes chain—kicks off National Turkey Burger Month by announcing the "Turkeytarian Moo'vement," a delicious way to introduce the brand's all-natural Jennie-O turkey burger, which has 200 calories and 10 grams of fat.
To celebrate, Turkeytarian guests who visit participating MOOYAH locations across the country on Tuesday, January 22, 2013, will receive one free Turkey Burger (with any drink purchase).
Fans of MOOYAH's "Turkeytarian Moo'vement" can also connect with the brand through social media outlets. Guests who "like" the MOOYAH Facebook page can download a coupon for a free Turkey Burger with a purchase of fries and a drink.
Additionally, fans can text "TURKEYTARIAN" to 30364 for the chance to win MOOYAH Turkey Burgers for a year.
"If our guests ask for something, they get it," says Alexis Barnett Gillette, director of marketing for MOOYAH. "MOOYAH's guests wanted us to make the Turkey Burger better, so we worked with our partner Jennie-O and did that, plain and simple.
"As the only fast-casual burger concept delivering this unique product in the segment, the 'Turkeytarian Moo'vement' is a true celebration of our brand," Gillette adds. "This innovation comes from guest demand for turkey products, and keeps within the MOOYAH mission to enhance the nutritional components of our menu."
At MOOYAH, guests can choose from a freshly baked white or whole wheat bun or a hand-leafed lettuce wrap, while also having the option to choose from the never-frozen, 100 percent American beef, Jennie-O turkey, or the veggie burger.
Each burger comes with the choice of unlimited veggies and nine different sauces.
MOOYAH's french fries come together in a six-step process that takes 24 hours, constant attention, and a little magic to transform fresh spuds into the perfect combination of crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside fries.
In addition to customizable burgers and fries, MOOYAH offers handmade shakes, where guests can choose from classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate, or opt for some of the restaurant's new toppings that include cookie dough, Heath, peanut butter cups, and more.
Founded in Dallas in 2007, MOOYAH set out to deliver a simple American favorite not only made well, but also produced in a friendly, service-oriented setting.
Seeing incredible growth in 2012, MOOYAH executives enjoyed extreme expansion that included more than 20 new units. In 2013, the brand is continuing to aggressively pursue new growth markets, including Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, and Virginia.

Docent Chair, 2012–2014
Natalie Ciccone has always loved art, but her interest grew into a real passion during trips to Italy and other far-flung places with her husband, Richard, a URMC professor of psychiatry. Indeed, she so enjoyed visiting museums that she began taking art history courses at the University of Rochester and MAG's Creative Workshop.
In 1999, Workshop instructor Lucy Durkin mentioned that the Gallery was seeking applicants for a new docent class. Ciccone was accepted for the program and soon began the rigorous, year-long training.
It was, she says, "a wonderful, enriching experience. The docents are a fabulous group of men and women, and there is such a culture of civility among the staff." But it's the kids that inspire her most of all. "They're excited, and it's contagious."
Volunteering is nothing new for Ciccone. A former elementary school teacher, she was active in the Brighton School District while her three children were young and in the 1990s joined the Landmark Society as a volunteer for the Built Environment program in the city schools.
As docent chair, she serves on the MAG Board of Managers, whose members include her daughter, Regina MacAdam, an attorney at Harris Beach. She also serves as liaison to the Gallery Council board, and with her husband is a member of the Director's Circle.
Away from MAG, Ciccone loves to play tennis and has played with the same core group of women for more than 35 years, most of that time at the Tennis Club of Rochester. "We've had to change from singles to doubles," she says, "but we still are giving it our all."
And of course, she still finds time to travel. In recent years, the Ciccones have journeyed to Egypt, Greece, Japan, Peru and London. They now have sights set on Barcelona.

2014 Jeep Cherokee boasts new styling
- Replaces boxy Jeep Liberty
- Makes huge fuel economy gains
Jeep has officially pulled the cover off its all-new 2014 Cherokee SUV. Set to replace the Liberty later this year, the new Cherokee includes vastly different styling. But it still offers many traditional Jeep cues.
So far, Jeep has only released exterior photos of the Cherokee - and they're all images of the SUV's front end. But they clearly show major changes compared to the Liberty. Such revisions include softer lines with more curves and thin, narrow front lights.
The Cherokee's side profile also looks very different than the Liberty's. While the Liberty uses a tall, square design, the Cherokee offers a more rounded look. That's similar to close rivals like the Ford Escape, Kia Sportage and Honda CR-V.
But the Cherokee does include some traditional Jeep traits. For example, the brand's distinctive grille - with seven vertical slots - is carried over. The Cherokee also uses Jeep's signature sculpted wheel arches. Shaped with straight lines rather than a circle like other models, they give the Cherokee a more rugged look.
Unfortunately for small SUV shoppers, Jeep has released few other details about the 2014 Cherokee. For example, we don't know what engines will be under its new hood. And while the Cherokee will likely retain its trademark unibody design, Jeep has not yet confirmed which platform the SUV will use.
While Jeep hasn't announced many details, the brand is promising big gains at the pump. According to Jeep, the latest Cherokee will see a 45 percent bump in gas mileage compared to its predecessor. Compared to the Liberty's 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, that means the Cherokee should return around 22 mpg city and a miserly 30 mpg in highway driving.
Jeep's decision to reuse the Cherokee name comes more than ten years after the original Cherokee was cancelled in favor of the Liberty, although the name Cherokee has been used outside North America for years. At the time, "Cherokee" was dropped because of its similarity with "Grand Cherokee," Jeep's popular larger SUV.
According to Jeep, the 2014 Cherokee will be in dealerships during the third quarter of 2013. We expect to learn many more details when the new Cherokee is shown at the 2013 NY Auto Show.
What it means to you: The 2014 Jeep Cherokee boasts entirely new styling - but Jeep hasn't yet announced what else the crossover is packing.

Madonna Releases Snippet of 'Falling Free'
Today's sample from the forthcoming 'MDNA' is of the contemplative song 'Falling Free,' where Madonna sidesteps the crunchy, sexy and synthy confessions on a dancefloor in favor of a tender ballad. The minute of 'Falling Free' that we've been exposed to reminds us of mid-'90s Madge, before she got all electronic on us.
The song is centered around a music box piano melody, with Madonna's crystal clear singing voice front and center in the mix. It's a showcase for her vocals, set to string-born tension. The Material Girl always knew her way around a ballad and this song is reminiscent of some of her softer, more sensitive songs.
It's refreshing to hear Madonna ditch the pulsating studio effects — for a minute, at least, since the rest of the teaser previews from 'MDNA' indicate that this album is designed for lots of dancing — in favor of something a bit more organic and intimate.
It's no 'Live to Tell,' 'Take a Bow' or 'Crazy for You,' which are her signature downtempo songs. But this William Orbit-produced track lets us in on Madonna's emotional side at this stage of her career. It's similar to 'Frozen,' if we had to match it up with something else is her expansive catalog.

You'd think I'd have figured out all this "social media' stuff years ago. Twitter, blogs, Facebook & more. Well I'm getting the "blog" part down, so it's time to move on to the rest. As of midnight last night, we now have a Twitter feed that will bring you our latest specials and some this-day-only surprises (when I can figure out what to surprise people with). Perhaps literally some rainy-day specials when I wake up to the wind blowing the rain horizontally against the windows and wonder, what silly thing could I do to bring people into the store today?
The twitter feed can be found at www.Twitter.com/crdeals but you can also have it sent straight to your phone, assuming you've got text messaging (and assuming you don't pay per text, because some of mine won't be worth much more than that 1/20 of one cent value found in the fine print of a store coupon), text follow @crdeals to 40404 (entered as if that was the phone number you were texting to).
Updates will be sporadic at first, and maybe forever. You might get one text a week, or several in one day. I'll try to include something that you'll wish you could leave work for sometime. 🙂
But wait, there's more! You can get updates to our Almost-daily diary the same way. Just text follow @crbikes to 40404 and every time there's a new post here, you'll see it. Or go to Twitter directly at www.Twitter.com/crbikes.

I woke up early this morning excited to turn on Wimbledon and watch some live tennis. I quickly started hearing about all of the weird injuries and retirements of the day. Little did I know that the day to follow would quickly be one of the most epic days at Wimbledon and tennis history.
As Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" is playing in my head, let's re-cap what actually happened today at the All England Club.

Metropolis of Kythira
|This article is marked as in progress by Vasiliki, who is actively developing it. It has yet to achieve a stable or complete form and is currently being worked on. Please carefully consider before making major edits to this article.
The Holy Metropolis of Kythira and Antikythera (Gr:Κύθηρα, Cythera, Kythera) is under the jurisdiction of the Church of Greece.
His Eminence Metropolitan Seraphim (Stergioulis) of Kythira (b. 1950, Vragiana, Karditsa) was enthroned as metropolitan of Kythera and AntiKythera July 2, 2005.
The Metropolis of Kythira has a total of 30 churches, 300 chapels, 30 cemetery churches and 4 monasteries.
Panagia Myrtidiotissa
- For more information, see main article: Panagia Myrtidiotissa
Panagia Myrtidiotissa is the protectres of the Kythirians. The tradition of the Holy icon of Panagia Myrtidiotissa (The Virgin of the Myrtle Tree) says that a shepherd saw in his sleep an angel. The angel was pointing to an area of Kythira where the shepherd would take his sheep to graze. In this vision with the angel, the shepherd saw the icon of the Virgin Mary lying amongst the Myrtle bushes. The shepherd awoke from the vision and in the morning went to that location to find the icon. As per his vision, the icon was lying amongst the myrtles. The shepherd took the icon home with him only to find the next day that the icon had gone missing. When he went to look for her, he found the icon amongst the myrtle bushes again. In honour of this miracle, the shepherd built a small church to house the icon. This whole story occured sometime in c. 1160.
Today, this little chapel remains as it was, however, a larger temple has been built above the church sometime in the 19th century. The temple is surrounded by many monastic cells and this monastery is the largest in this Metropolis. The monastery celebrates on September 24 and August 15.
Local Saints and feast days
- Virgin-martyr St. Elessa of Kythera, d. 375 (August 1)
- St. Theodore of Korinth (May 12, 922)
- His relics were found on Kythira and in 1630 Bishop Athanasius (Valerianos) of Kythira founded a church in honour of this saint.
- Priest-martyr St. Myronos of Antikythira (August 17)
- St. Myronos was from a wealthy family who devoted his entire life to the priesthood and establishing the Christian church during the reign of the Dekios, c. 250 AD. He dies a martyric death.

A catholic monastery devoted to the teachings of St. Benedict
(1) Father Thomas is enjoying a home visit with us, taking a
break from his doctoral studies at Leuven—and of course we're
putting him to work. He presided and preached at our Conventual
Mass this morning, to begin his service this week as our Mass
Hebdomadarian. +++ The closing hours of the afternoon
brought some hope for stormy weather. The skies darkened, the wind
picked up, thunder rattled around far off—but, alas, no rain, or
not much to speak of. At least the temperature dropped into the
mid-80s for a while. Areas around us did receive some rain, so
we're grateful for their temporary relief.
(2) Father Mel returned from the hospital today. He is in good
spirits, happy to be back. He will continue his recuperation from
his fall a few days ago in his infirmary cell. +++
Father Columba began offering his chant workshop, "Bringing to Life
the Word of God in Song," to 19 participants at our Guest House and
Retreat Center this evening.
(3) Shortly after supper this evening, Brother Jerome fell in
one of our stairways. The Saint Meinrad area First Responders, who
happened to be at our firehouse for a practice, were here within
two minutes. They stabilized Brother Jerome and got him ready for
the ambulance journey to the Jasper hospital. Fortunately, Brother
Jerome was not seriously hurt and returned to the monastery around
11:30 this evening.
(4) On this Independence Day, we thank God for the freedoms and
liberties our country enjoys, and we ask His blessings on all who
strive for human rights and justice. +++ Father Thomas,
continuing on with his duties as Mass Heb, preached a fine "Fourth
of July homily" this morning. +++ We followed our
regular weekday schedule today, with some late afternoon/early
evening modifications: after Vespers, we enjoyed a modest social in
the calefactory while several confreres began the grilling of
burgers and brats, which the rest of us eagerly feasted on around
six o'clock. So as not to rush our celebration, we prayed Compline
individually this evening.
(5) Brother Andrew was experiencing some chest pains this
evening and so our monk/nurse, Brother Zachary, took him to the
hospital. The word is that Brother Andrew did have a small heart
attack. He will be further diagnosed tomorrow, and our hope is that
he'll be returning to us soon.
(6) Brother Andrew is doing better; he'll undergo some
procedures today and will hopefully return to us tomorrow.
+++ Temperatures continue to soar. Most of our work these
past weeks has been indoors: painting, putting up or taking down
walls, regular repair and maintenance of equipment. Of course, the
heavy work of the renovation of St. Bede and Newman halls
continues—on schedule. +++ An unidentified person
gained access to the monastery's food supply this evening, leaving
behind eight boxes stuffed with Krispy Kreme donuts. Prosecution of
this violation of monastic space and discipline will be difficult,
as most of the evidence has been tampered with and key elements are
simply missing.
(7) Brother Andrew returned from the Jasper hospital today. He
looks in good shape and has promised to take things "just a bit
easier." +++ Earlier this week, Father Stephen was
hospitalized for a few days. He had just returned from vacation and
was experiencing some shortness of breath. He's now back at his
rectory in Lake Village,Indiana, doing just fine.
(8 ) Father Adrian is our Mass Heb on this 14th Sunday in
Ordinary Time. +++ About 50 of our lay degree students
were on the Hill this weekend, taking various courses. Dr. James
Helmer taught "Catholic Social Ethics," Dr. Clayton Jefford taught
"Synoptics, Acts, and General Epistles," Fr. Damian Dietlein, OSB,
taught "Women in Early Christianity," and Dr. Ryan LaMothe
taught "Marriage Counseling." +++ Just as we began
Vespers this evening, the skies opened a bit—and we enjoyed about
five minutes of rain. A welcome sound and sight. It didn't last
long, but we are looking forward to cooler and wetter weather this
evening and on into tomorrow. May the Lord bless those who work our
land, especially under these most difficult conditions!
(9) About a hundred Conventual Franciscan Friars from Mt. St.
Francis, Indiana, are holding their annual convocation here on the
Hill. Some of our guests have expressed some confusion about the
different varieties of habits processing through our church!
(10) Brother Terence was experiencing some breathing
difficulties and so we took him in to the Jasper hospital this
afternoon. First reports are that he is resting comfortably, has
improved a bit, and may be in for five or six days.
(11) Most of the Universal Church celebrates the feast of St.
Benedict today. We do as well, but since here on the Hill our major
celebration in honor of St. Benedict is on March 21, we honor today
also all saints of the Benedictine Order. An O.P.-ranked feast,
Father Prior Kurt presided at our Conventual Eucharist and Father
Adrian, Mass Heb, offered the homily. We followed our weekday
schedule today, but we did enjoy colloquium at
our evening meal, along with our customary special Wednesday night
(12) This past Monday, Father Columba began the second session
of a week-long retreat, "Bringing to Life the Word of God in Song."
Fifteen participants have been "singing his praises" at our Guest
House and Retreat Center. The retreat ends tomorrow.
(13) Twenty-two members, spouses and guests of our High School
Class of 1967 began arriving today for their
45th reunion. They'll be with us through Sunday
(14) This weekend brings another round of weekend courses in
our Seminary and School of Theology's lay degree programs.
About six dozen men and women continued their program this morning,
and will conclude tomorrow afternoon. Course offerings this time
around: "Dostoevsky and the Problem of Evil," taught by Dr.
Dan Kolb; "Medieval Philosophy," taught by Dr. Christopher
Lutz; "Ecclesiology and Ecumenism," taught by Dr. Keith Lemna; and
"Teaching and Preaching in the Context of Lay Ecclesial Ministry,"
taught by Fr. Brendan, OSB.
(15) Father Pius is our Heb this week, but on this Sunday,
beginning the 15th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Father
Vincent presided at the Conventual Mass in his place. Father Pius,
in addition to being our refectorian, is also in charge of managing
the many requests for pastoral assistance that come our way, and
not infrequently he has to assign himself to assume weekend
ministry at a parish—as was the case today. +++ The
novice-junior master and four novices from the Trappist Abbey of
Gethsemani, Bardstown, Kentucky, arrived this afternoon for a few
days' visit. We welcome our brothers as they join us for prayer,
meals and recreation. +++ Brother Terence has taken a
turn for the worse over the weekend. This morning it seemed as
though he was very near death; the report this afternoon, however,
is that he seems much improved.
(16) Solemnity of Our Lady of Einsiedeln. Father Abbot Justin
presided and preached on this O.A.-ranked feast, and we gave our
five Benedictine Scholars (five college-age men living, studying
and working with us for two months) some liturgical experience by
having them serve as cross and candle, miter and crozier bearers,
and as lector.
(17) We celebrated a "local feast" today: Father Abbot Justin
presided at our Conventual Mass, marking the feast of All Holy
Monks of Einsiedeln and Saint Meinrad. +++ This evening
Brother Luke began a midweek retreat for nine individuals, "Tools
for Good Works," based upon Chapter 4 of St.
Benedict's Rule.
(18) Twelve permanent deacon candidates from the Diocese of
Davenport are halfway through their "homiletics week" here on the
Hill. The week is led by our own homiletics professor, Dr. Rick
(19) Brother Terence continues to show much improvement, and
there are indications that he may be "out of the woods"—and ready
to return to our own scorched earth here. It has been a little
cooler this week, especially in the evenings, but the word is that
there's still a lot of summer ahead of us.
(20) A number of monks were joined by off-the-Hill guests for a
concert this evening, presented by 130 members of the
Brentwood,Tennessee, Sonshine Youth Choir. The choir is made up of
120 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors, whose primary
responsibility is to lead the 8:30 worship service at the Brentwood
United Methodist Church in music each Sunday morning. The Sonshine
Tour has been with us before. Their tour this year takes them from
their home to Chicago and points in between, where they will sing
in churches, retirement homes, facilities for the mentally,
physically, and emotionally challenged, children's day camps, and
juvenile detention centers. They treated us to a program consisting
of accompanied and a capella, traditional sacred
choral selections, hymn tunes and multicultural pieces. A most
pleasant way to spend an hour on a Friday evening!
(21) Mr. Dave Maloney is presenting "A Step 11 Retreat for
Recovering Alcoholics and Alanons" to 35 participants at our Guest
House and Retreat Center this weekend.
(22) Father Christian, home for part of the summer and taking a
break from his doctoral studies at The Catholic University in
Washington, D.C., is our Mass Heb for this 16th Week in Ordinary
Time. He presided and preached at our Conventual Eucharist.
+++ Abbot Jerome Kodell of Subiaco Abbey, Arkansas, joined us
for Vespers and supper this evening. Abbot Jerome is giving a
retreat to the sisters of the Monastery of the Immaculate
Conception in Ferdinand. He gave the retreat to our monastic
community a few years back, so it was good to see an old friend
once again.
(23) Over 200 of our alumni are enjoying the first day of our
annual reunion. The weather is as hot as ever, but the spirits of
all are good.
(24) This is the principal day of the Alumni Reunion. Evansville
Bishop Charles Thompson, an alumnus of our theology class of 1987
(and who, as a third-year Louisville seminarian was in the very
first class taught by your chronicler, who was fresh out of grad
school way back in that fall of 1986!) presided and preached at the
reunion's Eucharist (your chronicler/his former professor served as
his liturgical M.C.!). During Mass an unexpected downpour, all too
brief, did give us some temporary relief, but forced the
cancellation of the planned outdoor photograph. At the evening
banquet, the Distinguished Alumni Award was presented to Mr. Bernie
Niehaus of Vincennes, Indiana (high school class of 1955) and Fr.
Donald Wolf of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City (college class of
1977, theology class of 1981).
(25) This afternoon we welcomed Brother Terence home from his
two-week stay in the hospital. He's delighted to be back, and we're
delighted to have him here once again! He's lost some weight, but
not his good spirits—nor his humor, nor his desire to get back into
things. We'll be forcing him for a while to take things easy—which
will certainly be difficult for him! +++ Our alumni and
their spouses and guests concluded their annual reunion today. We
pray for safe travels and look forward to next year.
(26) About 50 participants in an ACT's Women's Retreat are here
from Corydon, Indiana, for the next few days.
(27) Today was the feast day of Father Prior Kurt. Following our
custom, he was Office Heb for Vigils/Lauds and Vespers, and we
had colloquium at the evening meal in his
honor. +++ We continued that celebration by starting a
new one. After supper we moved into our calefactory for ice cream
novelties and a "goodbye" to the five young men who have been with
us the past two months. These Benedictine Scholars, as we have
called their program, are college-age men who have spent the last
eight weeks participating in our liturgies, meals and recreations,
working part-time each day with one of our monks or co-workers, and
taking a course for college credit. This is the first year we
sponsored this program and it proved a success—for them and for us.
We hope to see some of these men in the future, and our Director of
Vocations, Br. John Mark, is already making plans for next summer's
"Scholar" program.
(28) About 50 participants from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis
are making a "Young Adult Retreat" here this weekend.
+++ And we welcome 16 permanent deacons from the Archdiocese
of Louisville and their wives, also with us for a weekend
(29) Today was the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, but it was
definitely not an ordinary time on the Hill. We celebrated jubilees
today—many of them! Our jubilarians were Father Richard Hindel
(65th of ordination), Fathers Sebastian, Aelred,
and Aurelius, and Brothers Philip and Maurus
(60th of monastic profession), and a rare
"double-jubilarian," Father Gavin, who celebrated his
65th anniversary of profession and his
60th of priesthood. Archabbot Justin presided and
preached at our Eucharist, and a fine meal and afternoon reception
followed. We thank our jubilarians for their faithful prayer, work
and witness, and wish them ad multos annos!
(30) Back to "ordinary time," and Father Meinrad began his week
as our Mass Heb. +++ The Diocese of Covington began
their seminarian retreat this evening; their 28 seminarians and
retreat leaders, and Bishop Roger Foys, will be with us through
August 2.
(31) Father Paul returned from Rome and the Biblicum a few days
ago for a two-month "summer stay." It's good to have him back. And
we now welcome his classmate, a monk and priest from Lebanon, Fr.
Toni Eid, OLM (Lebanese Marionite Order), who will be staying with
us for a few days. Fr. Toni is also studying at the Biblicum and,
in addition to English, speaks French, Italian, Arabic and
German. This is his first visit to the United States.
As we conclude this month's report, we congratulate Romain
Botta, OSB, who was ordained priest for the Monastere de l
'Incarnation in Togo, West Africa. Fr. Romain had been studying
with us at Saint Meinrad these past years, and so he now begins
ministry in his homeland. His confrere, Br. Philippe Tchalou, OSB,
will be returning to the Hill in the fall to continue his studies
and formation for priesthood. Our Father Cyprian and Father Harry
represented us at the ordination and will be sharing their
experiences with us in the near future.
Father Romain was the last of the 20 members of our class of
2012 to be ordained. However: my mistake, I neglected
to include in our listing the ordination of Dustin Collins to the
priesthood on June 2. Father Dustin is well into his priestly
ministry for the Diocese of Knoxville.
Congratulations to Fathers Dustin and Romain—and to their
classmates, our new priests of 2012!
And now, from St. Benedict's Rule…
In his teaching, the abbot ought
always stay close to the apostolic pattern: "Correct, entreat,
reproach." That is to say, he should vary his approach according to
the situation, mixing threats and enticements, now showing the
sternness of a taskmaster, and now the tender affection of a
father…. Let him tailor his approach to meet each one's character
and understanding; he will thereby suffer no loss of the sheep
entrusted to him, but even enjoy the increase of a good flock.

We've always enjoyed David Aldridge; he seems like one of those guys who found his true self once he left ESPN. We appreciate that he keeps the sports for what they are, and knows who he is: He's an information guy, and he's one of the best. But he knows when to step out and make his voice heard when the time comes, and the time has come.
Aldridge's take today on the Sean Taylor story is the best we've seen yet.
Sean Taylor, while no saint, was not a "thug." He didn't grow up in the 'hood. He went to private schools before college. And even if he was a thug - whatever that is - or embraced that culture during one part of his life, that doesn't mean he deserved to die in front of his child and fiancée, in his home, bothering no one.
I'm angry that people cry about Sean Taylor's death because he was an outstanding football player, as if his death has extra meaning because he had great closing speed. This is not about sports. We have buried 200 Sean Taylors in this city this year. We don't know what would have come of their dreams and hopes. They deserve our tears, too, for they may have been anonymous to you, but they weren't to their mothers and fathers, their best friends and lovers, their teachers and mentors.
That David Aldridge is a less ubiquitous presence on our airwaves than Stephen A. Smith is as fierce an indictment of our sports media world as we can imagine.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Robin Lopez had 23 points, including a key putback and a pair of free throws in the final 1:11, and the New Orleans Hornets beat the Memphis Grizzlies 90-83 on Friday night.
Lopez also had 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which has won two in a row. Anthony Davis added 18 points and 15 boards, Greivis Vasquez had 12 points and nine assists and Eric Gordon finished with 11 points.
Mike Conley scored 20 points while nearly leading the Grizzlies back from a 16-point fourth-quarter hole. His consecutive 3s had Memphis as close as 83-81 with 2:36 left, but Vasquez answered with a big 3 and Lopez's putback made it 88-81.
Marc Gasol had 16 points for the Grizzlies, while Zach Randolph added 14 and Jerryd Bayless 12.

today at home my parents had my brothers ex and current girlfriend over, they have kids, thier kids were playing in some water outside while my uncle was watching them he didn't do a thing about them getting wet i than told the girlfriends, that is it okay for their kids to play in water?, my mom then said what water were they playing in and since i have ADHD its hard for me to explain myself about things and so when started talking i wasn't making much sense so every one started laughing (and someone said that i can't talk right) except my brother and current girlfriend and mom, the ones that were laughing were my brother 's old girlfriend and her young niece and her friend, which made me feel terrible, my response was (since i'm a overly nice guy) i just scratch my head and smile a little and as they were still laughing i just walked off, and it kinda ticked me off a little and that be my most embarrassing moment of my life.
Sounds pretty awkward.
Never mind now
Well at the time, there was this guy I liked. I was walking with a friend of mine to the grocery store and he was heading towards us. As I waved and smiled at him, I fell on my face (tripped on the curb) and scraped my knee lol. He helped carry me back to my dorm but it was sooooo embarrassing.

A real life moe
for me it was when I was about to ask a girl out and then blanked and could say anything...
I've been playing too much Kotor
Terrible people, it's normal to be ticked off when such people make fun of you for whatever problem you have.
Real low, it's pathetic.
I have a cousin with a mental disorder. His family visits every so often. A Few years ago we went out to celebrate his 12th birthday, at a nice restaurant here in SD too. We walked in, sat down, started conversing, when some prick a few tables across from us does this: HERRRHH (in a low tone voice as to not be noticed by us but to keep his douchy pals entertained) and places his arm on his chest as to say "I have down syndrome". What a classy guy.
Everyone notices, it wasn't funny.
Cutting it short; My uncles face turns red (with rage probably), he went to go confront those young adults, embarrasses them, they leave, booed out by the people, escorted by the manager, clapping ensues. Cousin receives a very nice complimentary dessert, his happy b day song is sung, and we have a laugh right after, enjoying the rest of our night.
One time while drunk, pissed off, and about to get into a fight at a club I tore my shirt off for some reason. Only problem with this was I hadn't worn a bra that night. Of course I was too pissed and drunk to care at this point so i'm still just about to beat the hell out of this chick topless or no but fortunately for everyone involved one of my friends grabbed my shoulders and drew attention to the fact that yanking my shirt off and starting a fight had drawn security who was moving towards us. So of course I just grabbed my shirt and booked it out of the club with the only thing covering my chest being the shirt i'm holding against it with my friends chasing after me which must have looked really bad, 3 guys chasing a half naked women through a crowded club. Anyways I eventually did put my shirt back on...30 minutes later while we were driving through Jack N' the Box. Thinking about it that sounds more awesome than embarrassing, sort of like all drunken shenanigans.
If I had a type it'd be you, fortunately I don't have a type so please stop.
I remember when I had a cold, my throat was very irritated and itchy so I coughed a lot in class. Everyone kept staring at me as if they haven't heard anyone cough before.
First time I EVER went to the gym, I figured I'd try one of the protein waters they have there, afflicted with the vague hope they'd instantaneously transform me into an adonice.
Anyway I was literally too weak to get the cap off. So yeah.
Having complete strangers laugh at your expense is never a pleasant experience.
In 7th grade, I took a dare to get into a locker since I was rather small. I managed to fit, but the lock jammed. Needless to say, my coach found the shenanigans rather unamusing, and 10 minutes later after much difficulty, I was out of the locker and in the vice principal's office.
On the bright side, I won the bet
Who the hell do you think I am!?
And that's just the title.
I wish real life had a Ctrl+Z button.

Well... probably getting pants in walmart

Nicole Richie flaunts her pregnant bikini body while sunbathing with boyfriend Joel Madden in Hawaii on Saturday. The couple has been enjoying their lovefest in Aloha state for the past few days to get away and celebrate Nicole's 26th birthday (it was yesterday).
The mom-to-be sported her pregnant bikini body on Friday in an equally hot red bikini.
Look at the other jealous pregnant couple. They are green with envy.

The Tour Down Under traditionally provides a first look at the gear riders will be using in an upcoming season.
Logistics – not to mention supplier shortages as inventories ramp up – often mean many teams bring older gear to cut costs, but there's still plenty of eye candy on hand.
So sit back and enjoy our image gallery from Adelaide in South Australia. And don't worry if you think we've missed some teams – BikeRadar will have more in-depth features to share in the coming days.

Summit League Women's Preview: South Dakota at North Dakota State
With one week to go before we reach the halfway point of the 2014 Summit League schedule, South Dakota has a chance to do something they've have yet to experience in the conference this year - put together a win streak.
The Coyotes (10-10/1-4) finally got a Summit League win last Saturday against Omaha in the DakotaDome after starting with three straight conference losses on the road.
The much needed return home didn't cure South Dakota's defensive woes last Thursday night against Western Illinois, as the Leathernecks became the latest team to take advantage of USD from long range, burying 13 3-pointers in a 10-point win.
USD head coach Amy Williams liked her team's strong start against WIU, as the Coyotes opened a six-point lead thanks to a pair of Tia Hemiller 3-pointers in the first 5:00:
Against Omaha Saturday, South Dakota put together one of the most complete halves of basketball they've played all season: 42 points, 4 3-pointers, plus-7 on the boards, holding the Mavericks to 32 percent shooting, while forcing 14 turnovers, all en route to a 26-point halftime advantage and an eventual 24-point win.
Coach Williams on the Omaha win:
The big question for USD once again is the status of guard Nicole Seekamp, who's missed the last two game with an ankle injury, and hasn't been 100% for a few weeks. Coach Williams says Seekamp's recovery is still a work in progress:
It's back on the road this week, starting with a Thursday match-up with North Dakota State in Fargo.
The Bison (5-15/1-4) and Coyotes (along with Omaha) are tied for last in the league, but both are better than they're records indicate.
NDSU is the worst shooting team in the Summit League (35%), but has three players (Brook Lemar, Holly Johnson, and Marena Whittle) who average in double figures. Beyond those three, the Bison have little depth.
Whittle is also imposing on the defensive end of the floor. She's 2nd in the conference in blocked shots, 3rd in rebounding.
Coach Williams says NDSU is no pushover:
Tipoff is 7:00pm Thursday in Fargo. The Coyotes move down I-29 to play at South Dakota State Sunday afternoon in Brookings.

Why are our troops fighting for our freedoms, when our freedoms are being trampled on and taken away every time you turn around? We are not allowed to say this or that because it is discriminatory.
Many of us feel like we are communist in America, the so-called land of the free. The First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States grants us freedom of speech. However, political correctness prohibits this freedom. For example, the word �undocumented� is defined as lacking documents required for legal immigration, or residence; and the word �illegal� means forbidden by law, unlawful for a person who has entered a country illegally. �Alien� means relating to, or owing to, another country of government. We are a country of laws, and rules, so obey our laws and rules as prescribed.

Around February, we start getting flooded with emails about bands going to Austin for SXSW. We miss at least half of them but every year we wind up with a few new bands that become "must-see" at SXSW. Last year Pickwick and Field Report were a couple of those acts. Over the next month, we will try and spotlight some lesser known acts that you should make a point of catching in Austin, or anywhere for that matter.
Say hello to Roadkill Ghost Choir from Deland, FL, a band that I will definitely cross paths with in Austin. The sextet was formed spur of the moment to back up Andy Shepard. I first became enamored with them after watching the video below. Made over nine months, it combines water color paintings, digital illustration and other illustrations. It is painstakingly gorgeous and was created by Jaime Margary.
After digging into their amazing EP, Quiet Light, I was hooked. Americana in nature with hints of bluegrass, they mix in some elements of electronica like Other Lives or My Morning Jacket to give some tunes a spacey feel. The fourth track, Tarot Youth, is a brilliant example of this. Every song is a excellent in its own regard and the band shows some quality in different sounds. Devout has an MMJ circa At Dawn feel to it and Bird In My Window, the song in the video below, is a gentle acoustic number and a great way to exit the EP.
Hopefully, Quiet Light is the start of something big for Roadkill Ghost Choir. You can stream the whole EP below and when you are as smitten as I am, you can buy it for $5 here.

i went to Sasquatch for the first time a few weeks back. Nothing compares to Coachella, but Sasquatch is still pretty damn cool. Main attraction is the Gorge. i was hypnotized by it beauty and just loved sitting near the top of the slope and looking at it as the light changed. At one point i was talking to a "cool person" and they were complaining about the stage and how it had nothing going on "show wise". i pointed out the show was behind the stage. Her response was "oh yeah."
i didn't take too many pictures because i was in vacation mode and hanging with a very excellent friend who would call me out when i was getting obsessive with the camera. 3 parts there will be for Days 1, 2 and 3. Here's part 1:
On the Wookie Stage, Kathleen Edwards.
The Roy Kay Trio
Fleet Foxes
They got windmills close by too.
The first act i saw day one that elicited an "Ahhhh shit this is goood!" was Crudo. The clip above is a little of "Let's Go" that goes into some beatboxing done by the great Butterscotch.
M.I.A. with a bunch of friends
Grand Archives
a couple of minutes of "Divine Hammer"
The Breeders
The rain got a little serious.
above is almost 3 minutes of "The One I Love"
Later tonight, i'm going to add a couple of incomplete clips of the Breeders and R.E.M. to this. Day 2 will happen after i get Part 2 up for Coachella Day 2.
