After nearly three weeks
of searching, the recovery effort for a father and daughter who went missing
while kayaking is over.
Two bodies believed to be
12-year-old Viola Francis and her father Jonathon were found Friday.
Those close to the family
say they were hopeful that somehow the two would be found alive and well.
Unfortunately, Friday's news broke their hearts.
"I can't wait until I get
old, because I'll die and I'll be with her," said Viola's half-sister Taylor
All Snyder wants is to be
with her sister again.
"Me and Viola, we were a
good match – to be sister and sister," she said.
About three weeks
ago, Viola and 30-year-old Jonathon Francis went kayaking in the Sandusky Bay. The
United States Coast Guard says a fisherman spotted Viola about eight miles off
the coast of Vermilion around 11 a.m. Friday. The second body was spotted along
a break wall just south of Cedar Point around 2:15 p.m.
The Sheriff's Office says
jewelry and distinct tattoos lead them to tentatively identify the two bodies
as Viola and Jonathan.
"I'm still just shocked,"
said Viola's stepfather Timothy Snyder. "I mean, you know, we hoped for the
best – we hoped, hoped and hoped. It didn't turn out the way we had hoped it
Snyder describes Viola as
a happy girl. She always had a smile on her face and she loved to be outdoors.
He says Jonathon made sure she spent time doing what she loved most.
"He was a good dad,"
Snyder said. "He always took Viola out to do stuff – whether it be kayaking or
fishing or…he did a lot of stuff with her, he was a good dad. He was a good
The bodies found are
believed to be those of Jonathon and Viola, but an official identification will
come after autopsies are performed.
A memorial fund has been
set up for Viola. Those wishing to donate can do so at any Fifth Third bank.

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Jacob Hopkins has landed the recurring role as the final member of True Blood's highest vampire governing body, the Vampire Authority. Hopkins plays Alexander Drew, one of the Authority's chancellors who was turned to darkness at the age of 9. Alexander is described as an impetuous vamp who likes to taunt those around him.
He joins SVU star Cristopher Meloni, Spartacus actor Peter Mensah, and General Hospital and Cougar Town actress Carolyn Hennesy on the Authority. The young actor has appeared on How I Met Your Mother. Also, he played a small role in the 2011 film Priest – which True Blood's Stephen Moyer starred in. Small world. [source | via]
Russian police say they have discovered 29 mummies at the home of a well-known local historian who dug the bodies up from cemeteries and dressed them in clothes scavenged from graves. A police video of the man's apartment in the Volga river city of Nizhny Novgorod shows a gruesome tableau of what looks like dolls dressed in bright dresses and headscarves, some with their hands and faces wrapped in cloth. Police said they were mummified remains.
Police refused to name the suspect arrested last week, but released photographs of him, gave his age as 45 and described him as a well-known specialist in the history of the city about 250 miles (400km) east of Moscow.
Russian media reports identified the man as Anatoly Moskvin, a 45-year-old historian who was considered the ultimate expert on cemeteries in Nizhny Novgorod, and who had spoken openly about rummaging through cemeteries and studying gravestones to uncover the life stories behind them.
Russian newspaper reports quoted police as saying the man had selected only the remains of young women for his grisly collection.
The arrest followed a long-running investigation into the desecration of graves at several cemeteries in Nizhny Novgorod, a police spokeswoman, Svetlana Kovylina, said. She did not explain how they tracked down the suspect.
The national daily Moskovsky Komsomolets said Moskvin was detained at a cemetery while carrying a bag of bones. But Kriminalnaya Khronika, an online publication specialising in crime news from the Nizhny Novgorod region, said police investigators had discovered the bodies when they visited Moskvin to consult him about the desecration.
Moskvin, who had long been known in the region for his interest in the dead, wrote several articles about cemeteries in the region. A linguistic expert by training, he specialised in Celtic culture and studied 13 foreign languages.
In a 2007 interview with the newspaper Nizhegorodsky Rabochy, or Nizhny Novgorod Worker, Moskvin said he had inspected 752 cemeteries, often travelling 20 miles a day by foot.
He said he drank from puddles, spent nights in haystacks or at abandoned farms and once even slept in a coffin readied for a funeral. He said he was repeatedly questioned by police, who then always let him go.
Last month he wrote a piece for a publication on necrology to explain his interest in the dead. He said that when he was 12, he came across a funeral procession whose participants forced him to kiss the face of a dead 11-year-old girl. He said he later grew interested in the occult. [via]
Barbara Daly Baekeland was a wealthy socialite who was murdered by her son, Antony Baekeland. Baekeland had a complex and allegedly incestuous relationship with her gay son, Antony. She attempted to "fix" her son by having prostitutes take him to bed; after this failed, Baekeland was alleged to have manipulated or coerced her son into having sex with her.
The Baekeland's were determined to promote Tony as some sort of child prodigy, constantly showing off to their friends about everything he had written or drawn at school.
'They wanted the boy to be a genius,' said artist Yvonne Thomas. 'That's what struck me. I felt uncomfortable with him because I felt he felt he had to be something.'
One acquaintance remembered the Baekeland's ordering their young son to read aloud from the Marquis de Sade's erotic writings.
Another broke off contact with the couple after hearing Brooks's evident pride as he described how Tony had pulled the wings off a fly to see how it would affect its balance.
'That kind of sadistic behavior is quite common in children, but one seldom sees a father who thinks it is marvelous,' said the shocked friend.

The plot: Andrew and his younger brother Carl enjoy listening to ghost stories that the local undertaker, Mr. Bennett, tells them. One night Bennett tells the tale of a local farmer whose wife gave birth to Siamese twins, one being good-natured while the other was clearly evil. The farmer, ashamed of them, kept the twins locked in their room. Eventually the twins got sick and died together, so the farmer sawed them in half and buried the good twin in a cemetery and the bad twin in a shallow grave near the house. Later, Andrew and his friends decide to hold a seance in the cemetery where the good twin is buried, but they unintentionally awaken the bad twin instead. Gradually, the bad twin possesses nearly everyone in town, and it is up to young Carl to stop him.

A teacher who pursued a sexual relationship with one of her pupils, going so far as to breast feed him and have sex in the school gym, and even post pictures of their antics online, has been jailed. The 29-year-old teacher, a recently divorced mother of two, worked at a middle school in Taiwan's New Taipei City, and is said to have been a Taekwondo expert.
She apparently fell in love with a 14-year-old male student, having sex with him in the school gymnasium and breast feeding him. The boy is said to have been most appreciative of this in particular, commenting that "it was a very special feeling" and "my first breasts weren't those of my mother but those of my teacher." The teacher for her part continued in this vein, saying "all of you are teacher's children."
Astonishingly, she took photographs of the couple's antics and posted large numbers of them on her blog. Such was her enthusiasm for the student that she is actually alleged to have put her hand down the boy's pantsu whilst sitting next to the boy's snoozing mother as his father drove them home from a Taekwondo match.
As is typical in such cases, the boy could not keep his mouth shut about the encounters and soon their antics were the talk of the school and found their way back to parents who promptly reported the matter to school authorities. It seems nobody bothered reading her blog.
The teacher was soon dismissed, but denies breast feeding the student, saying she only let him drink some of her breast milk from a bottle. The courts were unsympathetic, convicting her of criminal indecency with a minor and sentencing her to 2 years in prison. [via]
Gruesome Fairy Tales
Fairy tales weren't always for kids. Back when these stories were first told around campfires and in taverns in some medieval village there were very few kids present. These were racy, violent parables to distract peasants after a hard day's dirt farming, and some of them made Hostel look like, well, kid's stuff.
Sleeping Beuaty
Coma Sex
The Version You Know
Sleeping Beauty is the story of a young Princess who is cursed by an evil witch so that she will prick her finger on a spindle and die on her 15 birthday. The old woman does this because she wasn't invited to the party celebrating the girl's birth, where other good fairies/wise women are bestowing gifts upon her. Fortunately, one still hasn't given her a gift, and so tempers the curse–the Princess won't die, she'll just fall asleep for 100 years. We guess she did what she could, but still, a pretty major downer for the party.
Of course the King orders all spindles burned, plunging the kingdom into a fashion nightmare, but with the inevitability of fairy tale logic bearing down on her, the princess manages to find the one working spindle in the kingdom, and pricks her finger on her 15 birthday. She falls asleep for 100 years, until a dashing young Prince comes along in timely fashion and kisses her, breaking the spell. Everyone lives happily ever after.
What Got Changed
The first major departure in this from the version we know today is when the Princess pricks her finger on her 15 birthday. In earlier versions the Princess instead gets a piece of flax caught under her fingernail which pricks her and puts her to sleep. This might seem like a small difference but it becomes important when you consider the other major, and unsettling, change to the story.
Previous versions of the tale have the Prince who finds Sleeping Beauty think she's so damn beautiful he just goes ahead and has his way with her right then and there. Yes, while she's still comatose.
If that's not disturbing enough, the rohypnol-style coupling leads to a pregnancy, and the Princess gives birth to twins, all while asleep. One of the babies, seeking momma's milk, sucks on her finger and dislodges the flax, waking her, at which point we imagine she had a few questions.
A teacher who pursued a consensual sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy has been charged with sexual assault and faces a 4 year prison sentence and a possible lifetime locked away as a potential child rapist.
The teacher-student tryst followed a familiar pattern – a 23-year-old student teacher (now 25), pictured, pursued a consensual sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy she had been teaching at a New Jersey school. Reportedly she had sex with the boy at her home "several times" one night, as well as in her car. The boy's father learned of the ongoing relationship, and reported the matter to police, who charged her with second-degree sexual assault, third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.
She was released on bail of $75,000, and several years later on Valentine's Day 2011 she finally had her day in court, pleading guilty to one count of second-degree sexual assault as part of a plea bargain with state prosecutors.
The state reportedly intends to recommend she gets a 4 year prison sentence for her wicked crime, and face indefinite incarceration as part of a "treatment program" if found to be displaying a pattern of "repetitive and compulsive behaviour" – although it seems likely most female 23-year-olds display a pronounced interest in sex with young men… She also faces the usual array of life-destroying sex-offender restrictions. That a father took it upon himself to ruin the life of his 15-year-old son's beautiful-if-foolish teacher whilst robbing him of his girlfriend is perhaps the only real perversion highlighted by the case…

You've seen Ben Hibon's gorgeous zombie animation work in A.D. and more recently in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. But now Hibon's getting a project all his own: a dark Peter Pan movie where Hook is the good guy.
Variety is reporting that Swiss director Hibon has signed on to direct Pan, a dark retelling of the Peter Pan fairy tale. Originally intended for Guillermo del Toro, "the film puts a dark spin on J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan," with Captain Hook as a haunted former police detective in pursuit of a childlike kidnapper — an idea we love. Say what you will about Tinkerbell, Peter Pan kidnapped tons and tons of children to form his troupe of "lost boys," orphaned or not, and it's creepy. And it's about time someone exploited this for a highly entertaining feature. [via io9]
We Heard About It From:
Michelle Smith, author of Michelle Remembers and Oprah's even less skeptical colleague, Geraldo Rivera.
The "Threat:"
In 1980, a book called Michelle Remembers told the horrifying story of Michelle Smith's years of alleged ritual abuse at the hands of a cult called "The Church Of Satan." The book, written with her psychiatrist, Dr. Lawrence Pazder, became an explosive best-seller and touched off one of the most damaging moral panics of all time. In the book, Pazder and Smith describe horrible abuse meted out upon her as a child. Her abusers were said to be a just one sect of a worldwide cult that was torturing and murdering children and adults all over the globe.
The book claims that Smith was involved in an 81-day ritual where not only Satan, but Jesus, Mary and the archangel Michael made an appearance. This was so convincing that suddenly reports were coming from all over the country of Satanic cults masquerading as daycares and schools.
People were being accused left and right of organized rituals involving torture, murder and rape. Law enforcement agencies and even prosecutors used Michelle Remembers as a guide when they were forming their cases.
The only problem was that all the witnesses were usually either very young children or clinically insane adults. No one was actually convicted of Satanic abuse, probably because the fact that the whole thing was bullshit was visible from outer space. Then again… if there was a worldwide Satanic conspiracy, can you imagine how awesome their lawyers must be?
More insane moral Panics in American History
Police have raided the home of Melbourne filmmaker Richard Wolstencroft after he held a public screening of the banned movie LA Zombie. A police spokeswoman says the house was raided this morning "in relation to exhibiting and possessing an unclassified film".
Wolstencroft, the founder and director of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF), is expected to face court at a later date. He held a public screening of LA Zombie, directed by Canadian Bruce LaBruce, in August. The Australian Classification Board banned the film just before it was due to be screened at the Melbourne International Film Festival in July. The film is described in the festival program as "gay zombie porn".
Wolstencroft, whose films include Pearls Before Swine, Bloodlust and The Beautiful and The Damned, has in the past been vocal about his stance on free speech. [via]

Political predictions are difficult to make. During every presidential election, millions of people watch television, DIRECT TV deals, late into the night, wanting to know, state by state, where their candidate of choice stands. Predictions are made as the votes come in. Keep in mind, though, the cautionary tale of the 1948 Presidential election between Dewey and Truman. Before the polls closed, Dewey was so far ahead of Truman that The Chicago Tribune lead with the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman". As it turned out, Truman ended up winning that election though an upset victory shortly after the story of his defeat went to press. The prediction of who will make a great president has a cautionary tale of its own. The public generally believes that a good President is someone that has enjoyed success in the political arena. Contrary to that notion, President Abraham Lincoln, over a span of approximately 30 years, lost six separate political bids. Then, in 1860, he became President. He was one of the strongest and most successful Presidents, holding the country together during the Civil War, and, with impeccable timing, delivering The Emancipation Proclamation on the heals of Union victory at Antietam. Be sure to keep these stories in mind before making a political prediction.

If there has ever been a time in history when the political landscape could not be more divided, then today is a great example of this catastrophic phenomenon.

For instance, some of the laws that have stalled in the White House include gun law reform,

In 350 BC, Aristotle wrote that the state "aims at good in a greater degree than any other [human community]" because the community of the state state is the community of us all. While we have different views on the over all aims and size of the various levels of government, something we should be able to agree on is that we are all members of our community, and we all want our community to prosper.

Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney Joins Colorado Wildfire Relief Effort
In the heat of July, republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was on the campaign trail in Colorado. Romney stopped by Care and Share, a food bank in Colorado Springs, to lend a hand in providing aid to wildfire victims in the area. Thousands have been displaced as a result of the fires that have ravaged the state this summer.
However, Romney was there to do more than just provide assistance to Coloradans in need. He also had a message for Americans, which was broadcast to millions around the nation through cable and direct tv providers.
In spite of the devastating wildfires, the former governor of Massachusetts implored Americans to continue visiting Colorado. Romney reminded the public that only a small part of the state had been affected, and that vacationing there will help boost the economy.
While Romney did not make any political statements during his time at the food bank, his campaign team has been working hard to earn votes in Colorado – a key swing state in the 2012 presidential race.
In fact, Romney has already stated that Colorado could end up being the deciding factor in the election. The latest polls show that the battle between Romney and incumbent president Barack Obama for the Centennial State is too close to call.

London, England (Sports Network) - Australia rolled to a victory over Spain to highlight men's field hockey action on Wednesday.
The world No. 1 Aussies got goals from five different players in the 5-0 win, making them 2-0 so far in the London Games. Australia is looking to extend its current run of five straight Olympics with a medal.
Spain was coming off a 1-1 draw to Pakistan on Monday, a contest in which it lost captain Santiago Freixa to a broken left arm. The bad luck continued in this game, with five-times Olympian Pol Amat exiting hurt.
In additional Pool MA play, Great Britain blew a two-goal lead, but Ashley Jackson's second goal of the game, coming during the 68th minute, allowed the hosts to escape with a 2-2 tie versus South Africa.
Great Britain had won its opener on Monday, getting two goals from Barry Middleton.
South Africa, meanwhile, failed to steal a win after losing its opener 6-0 to Australia.
The other match of that pool saw Pakistan knock off Argentina, 2-0.

North Shore Oahu is considered a world-class holiday destination thanks to its fantastic beaches and perfect surfing conditions. Easily the most popular reason to head for North Shore Oahu vacation rentals is to enjoy the wonderful surfing, especially if you're talented or experienced in the sport.
Around North Shore Oahu vacation accommodation are a number of small resort towns offering lovely beaches along seven miles of coast. The atmosphere here is relaxed and friendly, and the main tourist hub is Hale'iwa, where you'll find a number of restaurants and other amenities.
Serious surfers arrive at North Shore Oahu self-catering accommodation in the winter months, when the waves are much bigger. It's recommended that only people with a relatively large amount of experience venture out into the water at this time of year, as the surf can be spectacular, but also quite treacherous in places.
If you're simply a fan of the sport, then you could come to North Shore Oahu vacation rentals between November and February to catch some of the world's top surfing competitions. For instance there's the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing in Pupkea, which is a five week-long event labelled the "Superbowl of Surfing". The beach on which the event takes place, Waimea Bay, boasts some lovely scenery. In the summer months the surf here is also much gentler, making it a great place to come for a swim. Close to the beach is also Waimea Valley, a picturesque botanical attraction that also encompasses a natural waterfall – Waimea Falls.
The island's and state's capital, Honolulu is towards the south of Oahu, about 45 minutes from North Shore Oahu self-catering accommodation. One of the most iconic attractions here is the famous Waikiki Beach, a beautiful stretch of white sand and an ideal spot for swimming and sunbathing. Meanwhile if you'd like to find out more about Hawaiian history, there's the Bishop Museum, which features a mixture of artefacts and natural history exhibits.
North Shore Oahu vacation accommodation is set on an island with a pleasant year-round climate, with little variation when it comes to temperature, which reaches highs of around 32 degrees throughout the year. There is a difference in precipitation, with noticeably more rainfall in winter.
Travelling from the UK, the most convenient way to get to North Shore Oahu vacation rentals would be to fly via an American mainland airport, like Los Angeles (LAX) or Denver (DEN) with Virgin, American Airlines or British Airways, before connecting to Honolulu Airport (HNL) with Continental or Delta.

This unique and famous effect was popularized by Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and others. The sturdy metal casing houses a phenolic diaphragm speaker, powered by your amplifier's external speaker jack. (Place it in line with your external speaker, which can remain connected.) A 6-1/2 foot surgical tube carries the diaphragm speaker's sound to your mouth. The tube end is placed near a vocal mic. By shaping sounds with your mouth, you immediately achieve the "talking" guitar sounds that you've heard on so many hits.

Greetings from iced-in Decatur! Hope you're staying safe and warm during this winter storm, and along those lines I thought a topic that tends to get a lot of UGA fans "hot" might be a good one for today: special teams.
There were no classes in Athens yesterday, but the folks at Butts-Mehre stayed busy announcing a slight restructuring of the football coaching staff. The headline item was Mark Richt making Bryan McClendon the official "recruiting coordinator," a post that had been vacant since Rodney Garner decamped to Auburn. But since McClendon was named national recruiter of the year by 247sports and Scout.com, had a hand in landing Georgia's biggest signing day names, and is likely due for a hefty raise, that was one a lot of folks probably saw coming.
Besides, it likely won't change much in the way UGA recruits, with Daryl Jones continuing in his current role as director of on-campus recruiting.
Potentially much more important in relation to wins and losses was the secondary announcement that the restructuring also includes special teams, the area where the Dogs frankly have stunk the past couple of seasons, which is why fans have been calling for a full-time special teams coach or coordinator since Richt's approach of having the special teams coaching divided up among several staffers obviously wasn't working.
Richt still isn't willing to go with the full-time approach, but he is dividing special teams into offensive special teams and defensive special teams, and he named a coordinator for each. The offensive special teams (which includes kickoff returns, punt returns and extra points and field goals) will be coordinated by tight ends coach John Lilly. Defensive special teams (kickoffs, punt coverage and punt blocks and defending extra points and field goals) will be headed by new inside linebackers coach Mike Ekeler.
OK, superficially you'd figure that consolidating the responsibility for special teams with just two assistant coaches has got to be a step up over Richt's previous committee method, and I applaud the fact that he recognized that he couldn't continue to ignore the problem. The fact is that his program had become notorious as one of the worst in the country for special teams thanks to numerous dropped punts, blocked punts and other so-called "catastrophe" plays that give the other team the ball, great field position or even points.
As Chip Towers detailed, most teams would be upset to have one of those type plays in a season; the Bulldogs had nine last year: giving up a touchdown on a kickoff return, two blocked punts, two muffed punts, a touchdown given up on a fake field goal, two mishandled punt snaps and one mishandled field goal hold.
Of course, the fact that Richt's boss, Greg McGarity, recently conceded "right now our special teams are a deficiency" and said, "It's up to Mark to fix it" might have had something to with Georgia's head coach coming around.
Still, as Richt pointed out repeatedly over the past couple of seasons, simply naming a special teams "coordinator" doesn't really mean that much. It's just a title.
And that's what still concerns me. If this restructuring and the naming of not just one but two coordinators ends up being largely lip service and isn't accompanied by a wholesale rethinking of how UGA coaches special teams, then it's not likely to make much of a difference.
Richt and Georgia players have also said repeatedly in recent years that they spend just as much time practicing special teams as any other program. But that raises the question of whether that practice time is being well spent. Have the players been taught the right special teams skills and strategies?
Too many times over the past couple of years, talented young players put back to receive punts or kickoffs looked unsure and uncoached and tended to make poor choices. Georgia signed what potentially could be a game-breaking return man last week in Isaiah McKenzie, and Mike Bobo said kickoff and punt returns will be McKenzie's main job, which he noted "could be the difference in a ballgame for us."
But McKenzie will be a true freshman, and if he's not coached sufficiently about when to fair catch it, when to attempt a return, when to let it roll and even how best to get in position to catch the ball, the Dogs still could end up with those killer fumbles that hurt so badly during the 2013 season.
Likewise, Georgia's "punt safe" approach in reaction to being burned by fakes to many times has largely negated the punt return as an offensive weapon. Signing one talented player won't make much of a difference there if Georgia still is afraid to set up a return.
So, yes, naming two special teams coordinators is a step forward, but that alone won't fix the problem.
You'd think that what with businesses and schools closed (including UGA) and folks urged to stay off the roads thanks to the winter storm that the UGA Athletic Association and Georgia Bulldog Club might cut Bulldog backers some slack on the looming Feb. 15 postmark deadline for getting those contributions in so they can buy renewable season tickets.
But, no, another announcement made this week is that weather-related closings will not impact the Hartman Fund deadline. The thinking seems to be that since you can donate online, a bit of ice on the roads isn't enough to prompt an extension. Of course, if the ice on the trees and power lines makes you lose electricity, you might not be able to make that donation online, but the athletic association's "weather operations policy" doesn't seem to take that into account.
However, the Bulldog Club office in Athens will have special hours of 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday to accept your money. That's big of them.
Tickets for the first UGA club ice hockey game at the Classic Center in Athens will go on sale Friday. The Ice Dawgs will make their debut in their new home April 9 when they host Georgia Tech. There'll be a pregame Meet the Ice Dogs autographing event the day of the game, too.
Tickets will be available beginning at noon Friday at the Classic Center and cost $10 for reserved seating and $15 for premium seating.
They also can be purchased online at ClassicCenter.com, via phone at 706-357-4444 or by visiting the venue's box office at 300 N. Thomas St. in downtown Athens.

It's a bit off-topic, but this past Sunday night's CBS special celebrating the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' U.S. debut, featuring an onstage reunion of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, will be repeated by the network Wednesday from 8:30 to 11 p.m.
Among the highlights of the special, which features a wide range of acts performing Beatles music, is Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Jeff Lynne of ELO and the Traveling Wilburys bashing out a great version of "Hey Bulldog," which would be one of my favorite Fab Four tunes even if it didn't include the UGA mascot in the title.
Anyway, it's a fun special so if you missed it last weekend, check it out.

…or shuffling deck chairs on a sinking ship.
But it can't hurt, right? They could hardly do worse in a couple of those quantifiable categories that measure performance of special teams. The 'Dogs were actually ranked 122 in one category.

One basic approach will solve some of the problems that U.Ga. special teams have faced. If the coaches teach fundamentals properly, and the players put those lessons to work on the field, we'll see marked improvement before long. Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to anticipate some possibilities before putting the special teams unit on the field. For instance, would this play be a good situation to try a fake?
February 12th, 2014
2:08 pm
Ok….so the guy who had the "so called title" of special teams coordinator the last few seasons is overseeing the punt returns and kickoff returns (the area that was one of the worst in the FBS last year)

I'm normally the first person to be skeptical of these type moves, because I believe in a Single Point of Accountability, however in this case I have confidence in McClendon and Lilly to improve this area of our program. Hell, it can't get much worse, right?
February 12th, 2014
3:58 pm
you do realize Lilly was in charge of special teams the past several years
February 12th, 2014
3:59 pm
We give a player a certain job before he even takes the field??? Well there lies a BIG problem with our program. No competition to compete for jobs. Coaches just give a job to someone who hasn't earned it. Makes me feel like I know that Mason is our qb no matter of a competition. I do like we at least know who to blame for each faze of the game. Kool aid kinda low around here.
February 12th, 2014

"Nothing we do ever works. This is just more of the same."
Then what do you call it when the guy overseeing special teams the last few years is still overseeing punt returns and kick returns?
February 12th, 2014
5:26 pm
It is not just the football program that is under scrutiny , with the sad state of UGA's B-ball program; the fall from championship status of the gymnastic and the baseball programs, questions have to be raised about the Athletic Department's handle on things. The resources are there, the recruiting is there but the results have not been up to par.
February 12th, 2014
5:33 pm
Concerning Offensive Special Teams: Most of the kick off's were in the end zone and Richt downs most all of them because he can start on the 25, which I agree. If we start returning more then the blocking has got to be better but expect some of our players to get hurt because of the increase heavy contact . It's not worth getting tackled back on the 10 and starting the drive already in the hole. If we go 3 and out the other team will have great field position. On punt returns, Richt has got to decide if he is going to set up a return or make a fair catch. McKenzie will solve any problem we have had but when he gets hurt who will we use? A back up has got to be ready.Extra points and field goals have been a strength.
Concerning Defensive Special Teams : Georgia has got to find a kicker who can put it in or through the end zone. Weak kick offs have allowed the opponents to start on the 35 a lot. On Punts I think we have the three guys that stand about where the Quarterback stand are too close to the punter and they need to be more aggressive to block forward instead of waiting for the other teams Defense to get to them. They need to attack Defensive player that break through our line.
I like dividing Special Teams into Offensive and Defense. It can't do any worse than we have the last two years. At least Richt is taking a different approach.
February 12th, 2014
5:42 pm
I really like that you don't patronize or down play problems that Georgia has.
We have lost a lot of our close games the last few years because Special Teams had a complete breakdown. You expect for the Defense to get beat a few times a game but Special Teams can't give up points or field position because of something that we did to ourselves or didn't do. That put the edge with the other team. Meaning the team that makes the most mistakes will lose. Richt is going to find out the fan base was not delusional calling for change in Special Teams.
February 12th, 2014
6:08 pm
My understanding is that Lilly was acting as an admin for ST, mainly organizing. Now there are two guys, one completely new and with some expertise, both with official responsibility. I expect to see improvement. Is it guaranteed? No. Buy clearly it is a significant change and an attempt to address the problems.

Bill, I think you make some egregious assumptions in your article. It would indicate the possibility that you've never played any football beyond grade school.
"Too many times over the past couple of years, talented young players put back to receive punts or kickoffs looked unsure and uncoached and tended to make poor choices." What exactly was it about those young players that dropped those punts and made poor choices that caused you to consider them talented? Possibly they are indeed fine piano players, maybe even fine receivers or fast runners. They sure aren't talented at catching punts. From a football player perspective I have yet to see a talented return man since Boykin.
But from your perspective you blame it on the coaching. Using the same logic you would say that if Rhett McGowan had been coached well enough then he could catch balls as well as AJ Green. Not gonna happen Bill. Not now, not in two years, not when the cows come home. You can either catch or not. You can improve with practice. I used to be a pretty good baseball player. But no amount of coaching was ever going to make me a .300 hitter in the major leagues.
As far as decisions go you report that the return guys have made poor decisions because they haven't been coached well enough. Certainly you don't believe that we coach our safety's to belly bump when tackling. Surely you would admit that. Yet at times that's exactly what they do. I can sight instances of it for 20 years. You would agree that there is plenty of time and effort that goes into trying to teach these young men what is expected of them off the field. You know they know the consequences of their actions are more stringent than anywhere else in the SEC. Yet they smoke dope anyway. The point is people in general make in the moment decisions and sometimes they are poor ones. Doesn't matter if they know the right thing to do or not. Football players are no different. They try to belly bump a receiver and he goes 99 yards for a touchdown in a bowl game. They don't keep their responsibility on defense trying to make a big play instead and boom, another touchdown. They break off a pass route and the QB gets picked.
No coach ever made a bad snap, dropped a snap, missed a block. PLAYERS do those things. And they are not robots. They make mistakes no matter how they are coached. If you don't believe me look at Alabama's last two games. Everyone seems to believe that they are always the best coached team in the country and of course we know they have the best players. So?
If you can go and watch every practice next season and report back on what is done on special teams, how they practice it, and how much time is spent on it. THEN report back to us. If at that time you don't feel the special teams are well coached, then tell us why. Unto then you have no authority to pronounce an indictment from a seat in the stands and discussions with your brother.

I mentioned this on another blog that I wonder why no one in the press made a big deal out of Auburn's 4 special teams mistakes in the 4th qtr of the NC game (2 fumbled punts and 1 fumbled kick-off return). Also, let's not forget the 100 yard kick-off return. Auburn lost that game on ST mistakes, but I guess when you are #2 no one will batter your ST coaches.
February 12th, 2014
8:23 pm
The coaches have to put the players in the best position to win. McGowan was basically sent to catch the ball he was not put back there for a true punt return. Everyone knew that and coaching wise it was very conservative. The problem was each time we went to return a punt it was usually a different guy and I blame that on Richt. By not having a certain coach held responsible each coach probably had their guy they wanted to return punts. I do believe special teams will be better just because now the coaches name is connected to each unit. But until we keep being conservative the energy will never be sustained and the energy vampires will continue be present. I am hoping for alot out of the new coaches to change the culture.
February 12th, 2014
8:23 pm
You hit the nail on the head, Bill. When we've got a freshman punt returner attempting to catch and return a punt in the midst of immense traffic in the 4th quarter of a GAME WE ARE WINNING, it makes one wonder if the coaches themselves understand basic football strategy.
The signature play of Richt's special teams was the fake punt for a TD by Melvin Ingram a couple of years ago. Ninety thousand people and millions of people watching on TV saw him run about 40 yards down the sideline before our punt return team even realized South Carolina was running a fake punt.

That's all fine and dandy PMR. So why in the hell are we paying Mark Richt $3 million a freaking year? It's all on the players and he has no responsibility according to you. Let's dump his arse and get a high school coach whose willing to work for $150,000 a year. What have we got to lose?
He could probably even beat Vandy.

Yea I guess no one really said much about Auburn
Maybe cause they made it to yet another National Title game; which really should have been their 3rd appearance in the last decade
Maybe because Auburn didnt have all the special teams problems UGA had that Bill in his article pointed out

"…but I guess when you are #2 no one will batter your special teams coaches."
Yes Captain Obvious that's pretty much how it works. No one was battering their special teams coaches because they weren't wrapping up their 8th straight season of futility and irrelevance. No one was battering their special teams play because they lost to #1 FSU in a hard fought game and not Vandy.
Please take advil for headaches.

I agree Bill,
Grohl's and Lynne's cover of "Hey Bulldog" was excellent. Those guys are aging well. One of the better highlights of the show. Some of the covers were dissapointing. Would have been nice to just have paul and ringo, along with Grohl and Lynne play more of their songs. Some of the guest bands/singers were pitiful.
Barbara Bach still looks good. Ringo married well and has lasted forever.

I said this not long ago……teach our punter to learn the art of the coffin corner kick. Nobody seems to be doing it anymore. It is a very good strategical kick. Ray Guy and many others in 70's were experts at this.
Our punter has 6 1/2 months to practice. It will be second nature to him by the time the schedule starts, if he starts practicing it now.
February 12th, 2014

Difference is we have a new coach dabbling in our special teams. Let's see if he can help change for the better. Didn't Coach Richt ask Coach Pruitt of his interest in special teams when hired? And he was enthusiastic to help. So is he also helping?

Coach Richt has at the very least created some accountability by naming an O and a D special teams coach…………How bout let's see how that works out before we get too nervous. Seems like to me this will be coach Ekeler's first shot at BULLDOG S.T.'s, his first time working with Coach Lilly…………….yet a lot of history and interest in the special teams role on a football team…………………….I don't think we'll know how this is going to work out till next season anyway……………….So until then……………"Hey BULLDOG"………….."You Can Talk To Me"……………….Your Pal…………..RED DOG 77

Oh Yea…………and by the way………wasn't Mike Ekeler known as a "special teams demon" while he played at Kansas State?…………Reminds of Blake Sailors……..DGD………and a walk-on at that…………those kind of "rip yer head off" walk-on players seem to be qualified for coaching those wild-men hurling their bodies down-field like bottle rockets………….I'd say give 'em a shot……………wouldn't you Bill King?…………….RED

This is good news how we focusing special teams this year. Now that we sign recruit to be prime returner we dont need to keep that stinky punt fumbler back there on kicking team that cost us bowl game. And then special teams improvement help win close games like those we lost this last year where close and score few more points be winning. Even with bad fans trying to blaming Coach Richt honest f as n know he didnt call a play to go fumble punt and lose game. That would be stupid. The punt fumbling all caused by player that made stinky play. And better special teams player that expose talents and not fumble punts will fix that. Thats help winning several more games this year to claim East and then SEC. Then playoffs Dawgs roll to win title on field without the sorry poll voters try take it away from Dawgs.

"Have the players been taught the right special teams skills and strategies?" NO. Have the players been taught the right offensive line skills and strategies? NO. Have the players been taught the right defensive back skills and strategies? No.
I hope CMR wakes up and smells the coffee. He should be absolutely fired up everyday…not just signing day. He is making millions in the fourth most talent rich state in the country with no other in-state school to which he has to share the wealth, yet his ship is full of holes that only he can fix.

dawg fan. What I said is people make decisions own their own no matter if they know better or not. They are the ones that should be held accountable, not someone who told them they were going to be suspended for 4 games and run until their tongues drag the ground if they don't stay away from the weed. That's all. One fact I did fail to mention is that you wouldn't know a football from a flying saucer so……who cares what you think???????

I know what you said. Blame the players. Blame the players. Blame the players. You can't have your cake and eat it too Kool Aider. Mark Richt is either the captain of this ship or he's not. According to you he's not, so what do we need him for? Why are we paying him all that money? Why do you Kool Aiders get your panties in such a bunch when I say we need a new coach? What difference does it make? It's all on the players to execute, right?
I could give a flying rat's arse what you think about my football knowledge. Kool Aiders like you have absolutely ZERO credibility. You want to give Richt all the credit for the wins and then throw the players under the bus for the losses. You've been doing it from day one. I'm on to you. You aren't real fans. You're posers with a mancrush on our coach.
It's embarassing and disgraceful.

LADawg, if he hasn't smelled the coffee at this point I don't have a lot of hope it will happen. A man's best resume for the future is to look at his past. People can change, but they usually don't.

It will get fixed folks. All of the energy and emphasis has been honed in on hammering the special teams. #1 Don'ts for 2014: Don't put #81 back to filed punts anymore. Don't let the deep snapper who kept snapping the ball over punter's head snap the ball anymore. Don't allow kickoff return men to run the ball out of the endzone to the 18 yard line when you get it at the 25 anyway. DON'T let punt coverage team EVER forget fake punts run against UGA in recent years.

Its is very clear that Coach Richt not have roster flexibly that other SEC teams got. Saban signing more players each with no limits cause he cut stinkys from team. Tenn orange pumkins signed 33. What I saying is you can only do that if Coaches in charge of school rules that make stinky players be shipped out for not exposing talents on field. But Adams made sorry rules that Morehead now enforcing that limit Dawgs from competing with good roster managements. Keeping stinkys around on team hurt bad when injuries because no depths and on specoal teams that would be loaded with hungry men like from Hargraves instead a stinkys. When was last time we had roster stacked in depths chart from Hargraves call up off a practice squad. It before Adams and the pointy heads created them roster and recruiting choking rules. Fixing that requires fan supporting Coach Richt to pit Morehead in place and tell him Dawgs run Athens to get rid a stupid rules. With fan supports Coach Richt have backing to fix rules that hurt Dawgs for roster managements.

Naming special teams coordinator(s) is a step up; however, I don't know if a change will really happen. As mentioned Lilly has had a hand in special teams the past few years. More time on the practice field and in the film room must be spent on special teams. If Mckenzie's primary job is kick and punt returns then I think he needs to spend at least half of his practice time with the kicker and punter just catching the kicks and punts. Last, there needs to be a bite if the special teams doesn't improve. This is what I really doubt. Richt hasn't shown that he will get rid of a coach that isn't performing. Now that he has named the guys the fans know who to blame and if things don't improve and nothing happens it's going to be bad.

Well I see some are still making the excuse why UGA doesnt win big because UGA cannot sign 400 or more players every year like everyone else does
February 13th, 2014

PMR- those are very good and well thought out comments that you made about coaching and individual players making a poor decision on a particular play. Having played organized football from 8 years old through my freshman year of college at UGA. I remember spending a lot of practice time on every facet of playing including special teams so I tend to agree with most of what you said. However Coach Richt has been slow to change his coaching philosophy which has cost the Dawgs a game almost every year and made other games closer than they should have been since he has been the head coach at Georgia. Hopefully by actually having 2 Assistants responsible for special teams we will see big improvement in every facet of special teams and it will become a strength instead of a liability.
Go Dawgs

Pro Tennis Player Caroline Wozniacki's Secrets to Flawless Skin
Written on March 19, 2012 at 12:46 pm , by Fitness Magazine
Professional tennis player and Proactiv spokesperson Caroline Wozniacki manages to have flawless skin despite constant sweat and sun exposure on the court, so we jumped at the chance to get her secrets. Here's what she said about the products that keep her looking gorgeous, her on-the-road routine, and her proudest career moment.
FITNESS: What's your haircare, makeup and skincare routine like on a typical day?
Caroline Wozniacki: I really try to keep my daily routine simple and natural. I always like my skin to feel light and clean, so I really try hard to use products that are good for my skin and keep me looking naturally fresh. Since I travel so much, I like to make sure my routine can easily come with me from country to country! I make sure to drink a lot of water, get plenty of sleep and moisturize my skin every day. I find that doing these simple things are easy ways to keep me looking my best.
FITNESS: You're constantly on the court and exposed to the harsh sun. How do you keep your skin protected?
CW: I wear SPF under my daily moisturizer every day. I'm on the court and outside playing so much that I don't want to have to worry about my skin getting damaged from the sun. So I just make sure I am properly protected every day. Now it's such a routine that I pretty much have SPF on all the time!
FITNESS: How did you start working with Proactiv?
CW: I started having bad breakouts when I was about 15 years old. I was playing a lot of tournaments back then, so I was in the public eye a lot and didn't really feel comfortable with all the cameras around because I wasn't confident about my skin. I decided to give Proactiv a chance, and my experience was really positive. After about a week, I started to see significant results. I was so happy, and didn't have to worry about breakouts anymore. Since I love the product so much, I figured a partnership with them was a great idea.
FITNESS: What's the one beauty product never leaves your bag? Why?
CW: Once again, SPF is really important to me so I always have some in my bag with me. You never know when you're going to need it! I'm also obsessed with a bunch of the Oriflame lip glosses so I keep those on hand most of the time as well. I hate when my lips are dry or chapped! So I always like to have lip treatments with me, and if they have SPF in them, even better.
FITNESS: What are your gym bag beauty essentials?
CW: Definitely my blister patches! Compeed makes these amazing blister patches that I keep in my gym bag all the time because I wear them almost every day. Blisters are the absolute worst when I'm playing or practicing and can really affect my game so having the patches on me makes a huge difference.
FITNESS: What does your training consist of?
CW: Naturally I spend a lot of time on the court, but I also spend a fair amount of time training off-court. I also like to mix it up and have some fun with boxercise.
FITNESS: What's your biggest beauty indulgence?
CW: I definitely indulge in my fair share of massages, but most of them are more sports therapy.
FITNESS: What are the beauty products you can't live without?
CW: Proactiv 3 Step System, Proactiv Refining Mask, Compeed Blister Patches, Oriflame Giordani lip gloss line, Oriflame Divine Body Cream and the Proactiv Advanced Blemish Treatment.
FITNESS: Where do you get the confidence and energy to keep working your absolute hardest on the court?
CW: I've always been very motivated to do my best when I play. It's definitely a passion and drive within me that keeps me going and playing my best. I also come from a family of athletes, so they have always been very supportive and motivating which helps me stay focused and try my hardest.
FITNESS: What do you consider to be your biggest accomplishment?
CW: Holding the #1 position for so long is definitely something I am really proud of. I finished at #1 for two years in a row, so that is something I really strive to reach again.

The #1 Workout Mistake That Could Sabotage Your Skin
Written on December 7, 2011 at 6:41 am , by Fitness Magazine
Naturally, we're huge proponents of working up a sweat, whether you're mastering the elliptical or letting out stress in your cardio kickboxing class. But excess sweat that dries on skin can leave behind salt and toxins, which contribute to acne and red bumps on the skin, according to Dr. Alex Fazeli, M.D., president of skincare brand Sebamed . Here, three ways to keep workout-induced breakouts at bay:
- Ditch the sweatbands and tight clothing, which can drive bacteria even deeper into the skin, causing blemishes. Choose exercise apparel made of moisture-wicking fabrics, which are breathable and help prevent pores from getting clogged.
- Avoid touching your face or blemish-prone areas with your hands or used towel, which can spread bacteria.
- Cleanse your skin immediately after working out with a hydrating wash like the Sebamed Liquid Face & Body Wash to help restore your skin's barrier and remoisturize, which will prevent further toxins from penetrating.

Bedtime Breakouts
Written on July 18, 2011 at 11:05 am , by Fitness Magazine
We all thought our acne would be gone after high school, but alas, it persists—for years and sometimes decades, many blemishes incubating while we sleep. Here, a few simple ways to reduce unsightly breakouts that occur while you snooze:
- Wash your pillowcase once a week. Dirt, oil, and dead skin cells that accumulate on pillowcases can cause bacteria buildup and breakouts.
- Try sleeping on your back. Sleeping on your side puts your face in direct contact with the buildup on your pillowcase and sheets, and suffocates your pores.
- Don't sleep with hair products on. If you're deep conditioning your hair overnight or have leftover product in from during the day, either wash your hair before bed or cover it with a shower cap before lying down. Oils and waxes in hair products are known to clog pores and bring on blemishes.
- Avoid cosmetics, lotions, and lip treatments that contain lanolin, petrolatum, oleic acid, certain vegetable oils and lauryl alchol. The National Women's Health Information Center found these ingredients are more likely to cause acne.
- Get enough sleep! Sleep is vital to every element of your health. If you're sleep-deprived, your acne will take longer to clear and will only get worse.

Spot On
Written on June 2, 2011 at 1:14 pm , by April Franzino
If anyone knows the truth about acne, it's Katie Rodan, M.D., and Kathy Fields, M.D., the dermatologist founders of billion-dollar blemish brand Proactiv. To kick off June National Acne Awareness Month, we're sharing some surprising acne facts from their book, The Doctors' Secrets to a Lifetime of Clear Skin:
- Acne is the #1 skin disease in the world—in the U.S., 85 percent of people have it sometime in their lives.
- They might do a number on your waistline, but sweets like chocolate and soda, and greasy foods like French fries don't cause acne.
- It may seem like the sun dries up your pimples, but sun exposure actually makes acne worse over time: Your skin sheds the UV-damaged cells, which clog pores and can trigger breakouts.
- The dark spots that appear on skin after a blemish are called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Unlike acne scars, they're not permanent but can take weeks to heal.
- Don't spot treat: The red pimple that erupts on your skin is actually the last stage of a blemish's life. Always treat your whole face to attack acne at every stage (even when it's not yet visible).
- Keep products with the zit-fighting ingredient benzoyl peroxide away from clothes and fabrics; it's oxidizing action will bleach them.
- Avoid facial scrubs with ground fruit or nut bits, like apricot pits or walnut, when trying to deep-clean skin: Their sharp edges can make micro-tears in your skin, causing further inflammation and irritation.
- Don't wash your face more than twice a day: Stripping your skin of oil prompts your body to produce more, exacerbating acne and oiliness.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (01/06/2013) - The United States Army Corps of Engineers released its highly anticipated report today on how to prevent the spread of invasive Asian carp into the Great Lakes, and some lawmakers are not pleased with the findings.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) got her first look at the report Monday morning, two years ahead of the Army Corps original deadline, but she did not get the concrete solution she hoped for.
"The challenge is, they gave us seven options," she said. "One was doing nothing, which of course, is not an option. And we need to get it down to one."
The carp, which were imported from Asia, pose a threat to the billion dollar fishing industry in the Great Lakes region, and to the lakes' ecosystems.
It is a problem that Stabenow is hoping to solve with legislation.
"It could really wreak havoc in so many ways with the Great Lakes," Stabenow said.
To help solve this problem, Stabenow authored the 'Stop Invasive Species Act,' which requires the Army Corps of Engineers to provide Congress with a report on how to prevent Asian carp, and other "nuisance species," from entering the Great Lakes.
Some of the Army Corps recommendations include the physical separation of Lake Michigan from Chicago-area waterways where Asian carp DNA has been found. But that could cost up to $18 billion dollars over a quarter century.
"The Army Corps recommended several options that would take 25 years, way too long. We have to find something much quicker," Stabenow said.
Stabenow and her co-sponsors are working with lawmakers from other Great Lakes states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York. She said there is too much at stake, including a $16 billion dollar boating and $7 billion dollar fishing industry.
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman (R) is one of the lawmakers involved, and he said this project is key to Ohio's economy, with 100,000 jobs tied to fishing and other recreation.
"I wish the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers' report would have identified the best option for preventing the spread of invasive species to the Great Lakes," he said, citing the report's lack of an action plan.
However, the Army Corps is taking its ideas to the people, by holding seven public meetings in various cities throughout the month.
"I encourage people to come and to express their concerns and support for getting a plan of action together as soon as possible," Stabenow said.
A plan of action that Great Lakes lawmakers say they must have soon, before it is too late.
The public meetings will be held on the following days: Chicago (Jan. 9), Milwaukee (Jan. 13), Cleveland (Jan. 16), Ann Arbor (Jan. 21), Traverse City (Jan. 23), metropolitan Minneapolis-St. Paul (Jan. 27), and St. Louis (Jan. 30).

I'm late to the game but glad to be here.
(Source: frankocean)
Alexandra and I come clean with the lies we tell all of the time. Also: I give my end of life demands. And they are many.
A new Zooey video! In this very holiday edition, Ms. Deschanel tackles her fears.
This is the next episode in our web series about 3 girls trying to foment revolution in NYC. Even revolutions can get bogged down in committee.
The revolution gives you: The Next Episode. Watch as Alexandra beats all the odds to begin the meeting.
Be afraid.
The Ladies of The Revolution
I have been told this by many a girl. I LOVE YOU. Whether they loved, hated, or felt indifferently towards me. Whether drunk, high, or puking at the window of a cab. In a text, over brunch, on my Facebook wall. As a member of the society of girls, I have had the high pleasure of being told this by ladies who most certainly do not, nor will ever, love me.
Now, I know that "Shit White Girls Say" has already trode (making that a word- NOW) this hyperbolic ground but - ALLOW me to say the following: I don't care if you do "love" me or just "like" me - but when someone says they LOVE me - 9 times out of ten - it feels great! Girls get all kinds of flack for over-emoting, over-emphasizing, going over-board: seeming fake. And I just want to be one voice that says: while I am smart enough to decipher real from fake, I'm also just needy enough to perk up when told I am loved. EVEN if it's just a "<3 YOU. " So YOU DO YOU girl-i-just-met-wearing-all-spanx-crying-about-ex-over-mimosa. I will proudly pose in as many pout-y pictures as your iPhone will hold.
The only people I don't want to tell me that they "love me" are the homeless. All of them.
This is the second episode of a web series I co-wrote and co-directed (a whole lot of co-ing going on here), I <3 REVOLUTION. In it, the most level headed of the insurgent/extremist girls explains what the revolution is all about and it has NOTHING to do with Karl Marx or the artist Bono. I love the way Alice takes on a Palin-esque tone in this piece and the way the jump cutting highlights just how sutured the revolution is.
I have spent 2 years working on this web series (most of that time was just dithering/unable to make choices) BUT NOW it is finally being released into the world! Fun facts: I barely recognize myself in the video!, this was filmed in The Forbes building (!!!- such an amazing playground), this really does predate Occupy. We'll be putting out a new episode every Wed. for the next month! Written/directed/performed in collaboration with my <3s, Alice Winslow and Alexandra Panzer. May the three of us unite for always.
Girls, Young Women and Middle-Aged Mothers,
If you were wondering what would be a good thing to want to smell like, here is your answer: The Woman Behind the Almost-Man.
Let ME tell you what you SHOULD want to smell like: THE SMOLDERING ASHES OF THE OLD WORLD ORDER.
Justin Bieber AND Macy's are already sworn enemies of the revolution (1/31/10 and 5/13/97, respectively), otherwise this would certainly merit a citation for VIOLATION of the Perfume Defense System's Code of Ethics, as regulated by Chief Fragrance Minister, Tara Schuster.

PLYMOUTH, Mich. (WJBK) -- A futuristic looking silo is designed for an age old method of keeping things cool. Think of it as a giant ice cube tray that will be filled with water all winter long and frozen into a massive block of ice.
"We're making ice while the getting is good. It's cold outside, and even in a mild condition we can still make ice," said Reynold Hendrickson with the StarPak Group.
Saxton's Garden Center in Plymouth will use the ice and the melt water from it as a renewable, cost effective form of air conditioning. They hired StarPak Group of Ann Arbor to set everything up and eventually hook it up to the existing cooling system.
"This is an ancient concept. Everyone's great grandfather used ice from icehouses that lasted all year. That's how you got cold milk in Memphis, Tennessee in 1896 in August," Hendrickson explained.
"This is a good opportunity to take advantage of the natural environment," said University of Michigan Emeritus Professor John Clark.
Crews will return to Saxton's in April and hook the silo up to the existing air conditioning system. We're told the 12 foot block of ice will last more than a year.
"We won't be having to rely so much on fossil fuels and it's a renewable energy because the water just has to be refrozen and melted again," said Dave Presley with Saxton's Garden Center.
It sounds so simple and StarPak said it is, but it's expensive. The Saxton's job will cost about $12,000.
The owner said it's worth it because their air conditioner needed to be replaced anyway and they hope this method will cut their energy costs considerably, enough for the job to pay for itself in three to four years.
"The more I looked into it after they gave me the call, I said, 'You know something, this makes sense," Presley told us.
You can stop by this summer to see how it's working.

my guest loved itWillie B. - Quincy, MA
These are the greatest to serve on a Sunday afternoon after church and during the football games. I can pop them in the oven, (they are ready in a very short time), slice them and serve them right in front of the television. That way my husband does not miss any of the action! He really enjoys them.Donna M. - Fort Collins, CO
