Red Meat and Cheese: A Wonderful Wisconsin Football Weekend With My Dad
The above picture shows a white brat/ribeye combo sandwich and a basket of cheese curds at State Street Brats, which were on my table with a pitcher of Spotted Cow within 15 minutes of getting off the bus in Madison, WI on Friday. These things happen immediately.
Despite what would happen to the Packers at the end, it was an incredible weekend in God's country. I have a lot to be thankful for.
3:00 – The journey begins as all my journeys do: Hastily stuffing my belongings into a suitcase as I'm running out the door, praying that I don't forget something important. The day where I leave myself ample time, or God forbid pack everything in an organized manner the night before, is the one where I'll know I'm actually a legitimate adult.
Hustling to get to O'Hare for my 4pm bus, I get on the CTA and realize that my Ventra pass is out of money. I have no cash on me and beg the bus driver to take pity on me. He obliges, motioning for me to take my seat. This is a good omen.
At the blue line stop, the person in front of me is struggling trying to figure out how to use a credit card to add money to her Ventra account. The voice inside my head is cursing her for being so daft when I have a tight schedule to keep. She gives up trying. I fumble my first attempt at the Ventra machine as the people behind me in line give disapproving glares. My second attempt is successful and I make the first el towards O'Hare.
4:00 – I make the bus to Madison with about six minutes to spare. A missed connection in either of my two CTA stops would've cost me 90 minutes and untold emotional distress.
7:05 – Arrive in Madison.
7:20 – See up-top.
9:00 – Head to Ivory Room, a dueling piano bar near Madison's capitol for a couple hours. There were three rotating pianists — two were OK, and one was incredible. The latter was pounding Red Bull, water, and a mystery third beverage inside a coffee mug (coffee, perhaps?) and belting along every song request put in front of him.
Dueling piano bars >>>>> karaoke, especially when the performers are good ones.
12:00 - Because of the road trips I do with my friends, it feels a little weird to spend the time before the game doing anything other than outright raging, but I gotta admit it is pretty enjoyable to be taking it slowly. We're at Jordan's Big 10 Pub on Regent Street for a little bit before I break off with my friend Max for lunch.
You meet the most interesting people on football trips. I asked a guy where he got his sewn JJ Watt jersey from (from a bootleg Chinese site because of course he did) and he ended up being with a crew of people from Quebec City who came to Madison, and later Green Bay, just for an awesome football trip. This was basically what my Dad and I did last year when we went to Baton Rouge for Alabama-LSU.
1:00 – Found a little tent right behind Camp Randall on Regent Street that was selling grilled brats, ribs, hot dogs, burgers, and BBQ pulled pork sandwiches. Here's what their grill looked like:
Had a brat and split a pulled pork sandwich. So exquisite. Wisconsin is the greatest.
2:30 - I am sitting with Max inside the Wisconsin student section, which still feels like home. I think I've got at least five more years of preferring that over regular seats. Even though I have my issues with many students' late arrivals and early exits, it is a substantially more active cheering environment, which is ideal for me.
(#ViewFromYourSeats not in chronological order)
4:00 - It's not fair that the Ohio State band does Michael Jackson moonwalks and incredible Jurassic Park choreographies while Wisconsin's half-time shows are always 1920′s swing music medleys or show tunes. Today's offering is a series of songs from the Phantom of the Opera because nothing riles up football fans quite like a somber musical. Half-time feels like a funeral. This is egregious.
4:15 - Overheard in the bathroom: Dude, my friend passed out in the bathroom, but I don't know which one it was so I have to look through all of them and hope I find him before he gets an underage ticket. College.
4:25 - Third brat in 18 hours. I swear I've read a study that says you should only eat two per year if you don't want to degrade your health, but I can't find it in 30 seconds and you wouldn't have bothered clicking through anyway.
5:30 – Wisconsin is completely controlling the tempo of the game. For some reason, BYU decides to punt twice down 17 points in the fourth quarter. You guys know that you need three scores, right? I mean, I'm cool with their surrendering, but it means the last 12 minutes of the game are just a formality.
5:40 – They keep showing out-of-town scores — there is particular schadenfreude when Michigan goes down to Nebraska — but they miss a major opportunity by not telling everyone that Piggly Wiggly and his Arkansas Razorbacks just lost their 7th in a row #karma
10:00 – Meet at friend Kevin's tailgate behind Brett Favre's Steakhouse, whose silent partners must be indescribably anticipatory of a reconciliation. Eat fourth brat of the trip. And a cheeseburger. (No pictures because I've already shown you enough red meat.) Drink a 10% ABV beer. At some point, someone comes by and hands us all whiskey-infused pudding shots. I'd say is the Sconniest thing ever except for the fact that this tailgate also had a cornhole set that was adorned with old Brewers baseball cards:
11:15 – Due to a variety of syndicates and assorted inheritances, our family friend Rob has eight season tickets at Lambeau. This is no small feat for a team with a wait list of over 80,000 people and about 30 years. We are very lucky he is so generous with them, although they are not necessarily an asset for him today. The initial asking price from some scalpers is as low as $50. It would appear as though some people are not profoundly psyched for the Seneca Wallace experience.
Directly related to that, it is pretty agreed upon in our group that we would prefer if Brett Favre were starting today. Like, not even with a week of practice. The sort of situation where some sad soul refreshing FlightAware.com notices a private jet charted from Hattiesburg, MS to Green Bay, Favre hops off, scribbles his name on a 10-day contract, starts 90 minutes later, and Jim Ross goes crazy. Even if he didn't end up playing well (an overwhelming probability), he Lambeau might break the sound barrier if it happened.
Obviously, this hypothetical scenario is completely implausible. But what if it weren't?
12:30 - All of a sudden Scott Tolzien is in for Seneca Wallace and nobody can figure out what's going on. Wallace couldn't possible be benched already when he didn't throw any incompletions — when T F did he get hurt? All we're told by the stadium PA is that Tolzein's in, nobody's phone is picking up data to check Twitter, and finally someone behinds us gets a signal and finds out that Wallace injured his groin.
I spoke to the head of stadium technology for the new 49ers stadium about stuff like this a few months ago and it's pretty necessary for NFL teams to catch up on technology sooner than later. It is not a sustainable business practice for the biggest fans to remain the least informed on game days.
1:30 - It must be noted that the discussion inside football stadiums is nothing like the ones I read and write in the media. Throughout the weekend, there are no references to Richie Incognito or concussions. People are just super-stoked to be consuming copious amounts of red meat and beer and not be at work. Until another sport can even come close to engendering this mass jolly community, football's not going anywhere.
1:45 – Is Lambeau the only stadium in the world where the beer vendors also carry 18-inch beef sticks?
2:15 - A punt that was downed inside the Eagles' 5 is somehow spotted on the 16-yard line with zero explanation from the refs. LeSean McCoy busts a long run and then Nick Foles underthrows a double-covered Riley Cooper, who adjusts to the ball while both defensive backs lose it in the sun, for a touchdown in a sequence that embodies the entire game.
Green Bay would later come within a bobbled Jordy Nelson reception of being down just a touchdown with nine minutes to play, but the breaks just wouldn't their way. With Detroit and Carolina now surging, the Packers find themselves with a tremendous uphill battle to make the playoffs with their gutted roster.
It's difficult to put my finger on the reason why, but I'm less stung by this series of events than I would normally be. It might be because I'm a generally happier person than I've been in the past, and that I've somehow become conditioned to put the relative unimportance of sporting outcomes into perspective, but I don't think that's the primary explanation.
I think the biggest reason that I'm comparatively OK with everything is that it's hard to pinpoint anything the Packers organization should've done differently to avoid the dark place they now find themselves in. The roster was well-assembled at opening day, there haven't been any glaringly erroneous coaching decisions, and the players are discernibly giving it their all.
You could gripe about the lack of an adequate back-up quarterback, but those don't exactly grow on trees. Some teams don't even have adequate starters — there's not this well of men who are physically capable of this immensely challenging job. Furthermore, we don't know how Seneca Wallace would've done if he finished the game after his full week of practice and Scott Tolzien was pretty serviceable considering his lack of preparation in both practice and the offseason.
And, yeah, I'd certainly prefer if the secondary were better but two of the three big plays they gave up yesterday were a fluky ricochet and a ball that got lost in the sun. I'm not quite sure how you can guard against stuff like that from happening.
To a pretty reasonable extent, therefore, the Packers have controlled the things they're able to. They've had some enormously bad luck, and getting devastated about those sorts of things doesn't seem like a very smart way to go through life.
All in all, it was an outstanding weekend with my Dad and our friends Rob, Max, Kevin, Kevin, Blake, Ryan, Patrick, and Ryan. To the extent that it was in our control, it was perfect.

Perhaps maybe as a compromise she could be an expert at a particular culture's array of martial arts? Like say she's an expert at Japanese Martial Arts specifically. That way she can have access to an array of styles, which puts her above most martial artists who only specialize in one and thus keeping with the prodigy idea, while also keeping logical consistency, since she's not fluent in every type of martial art, but she has trained in ones that would logically have been accessible to her growing up. This still leaves open a bunch of different styles like boxing, wrestling, MMA, Chinese martial arts, military based CQC, lucha libre, Brazilian martial arts, Krav Maga, etc. etc. for people to be prodigies in if they so please. This approach would also be more accurate in terms of modern day fighting, as most active combat sports emphasize learning an array of fighting styles and combining the best aspects of them in one instead of just focusing on a single style of martial arts. This is particularly prominent in UFC and other MMA promotions where fighters who rely too heavily on one style of fighting tend to be far outmatched by those who are more well rounded.
It seems like all the girls like other girls so I don't think it's necessarily a harem.
Tokyorose: I've been allowing multiple forms of athleticism all at once, so I'm not going to disallow a singer. But I DO want to see as wide a variety of skill sets as possible. Any chance you'd feel comfortable placing more of a focus on the modeling/acting side of celebrity?As for how many characters I am allowing, at the start I think I am just going to allow 2 per person. I do need to check back over the characters that have been approved so far and their sexualities, just because I can already see that we may very well have a harem game situation beginning to form.
If anyone is interested when I make her, my Fashion/Costume Design prodigy has a tendency to try to get people to wear her costumes, almost basically trying to recruit people to model for her if they look the part. Anyone object if she tries to hunt their characters down if they fit her profile? lol
Nanase can be easily persuaded to help anyone at anything.
johnny: While I am fine with Logan coming from a family that allowed him private tutors, I need to know that you aren't going to make him perfect at everything, and know that he's at a school where there will always be someone who is just about always better at him than everything other than archery. Otherwise, approved. Tokyo: If enough people are up for that (I am one of them) I'll see if I can come up with a reason why fashion girl will have an excuse to dress up anyone/everyone she wants. Maybe some sort of exhibition...

Welcome to Island Farm
A living history site c.1847 on Roanoke Island, NC
Over the past 150 years, on this day or that, on any wall in the house, a picture might have hung straight or crooked, wallpaper was put up or taken down, wasps sat, a television blared, pollen settled. On most any acre, corn suffered from too much or too little rain, a Buick got a coat of wax, fences were put up or fell down. But today, the layered past has been stripped back to circa 1847, at Island Farm, Roanoke Island's newest historic site.
A living history site, Island Farm interprets daily life on Roanoke Island in the mid-1800s. The centerpiece of the site is the Etheridge farmstead, where Adam Etheridge built a house on land that had been farmed by his family since 1757. It is the oldest period restoration of a house on Roanoke Island, and includes 19th-century furnishings, some original to the house.
Visitors can explore nearly a dozen buildings, such as the farmhouse, a reconstructed slave cabin, outhouse, cookhouse, smokehouse, dairy, barns, chicken coop, corn crib, woodshed, and blacksmith shop. Nearby, the family graveyard is the final resting place of Mr. Etheridge and many of his descendents, while Crissy Bowser, who lived and worked on the farm, lies buried beneath what is known as the Crissy Oak.
Chickens range freely on the grounds, where you'll also find a kitchen garden, grape arbor, island figs and a cornfield. Sheep, a cow, an ox and two banker ponies graze in the pastures.
Exhibits in the Visitor Center help put daily life on the farm into historical context, with information on island culture, fishing, farming, boatbuilding, windmills, slavery, and the Freedmen's Colony.

The complete five season box set release has spawned some new Wire reviews and recs.
Ran across this article at CNN.com. The reviewer offers high praise for the series but grew up in West Baltimore and says he feels The Wire is bleaker than the world he grew up in.
Why did Cutty give Dukie such a hopeless answer? Maybe it's because some people who never lived in a neighborhood like "The Wire" confuse hopelessness for authenticity. Yeah, I could shock you with stories of violence, but it's so easy to slip from revelation to titillation. I start off telling you a story about how tough my school was, and soon I'm shooting it out with five drug dealers who want to steal my homework.
But I never remember West Baltimore being so hopeless. A man like Cutty wouldn't tell a young man that he had no way out — adults rallied around kids with potential.
I even checked with some childhood friends — one who is now an undercover police officer who literally works a "wire" for the Baltimore Police Department — and we all agreed that "The Wire's" bleakness was exaggerated.
"They made it seem like we grew up in Bosnia," my friend, another "Wire" fan, told me.
The writer points out another scene that did ring true for him, though. Read the full article.

I have only experienced the joys of facials twice in my life (I know, I need more!), but the best part of the last one I had was the steam. The facialist took some lemongrass essential oil and just let that wonderful blast of steam penetrate my skin, it was blissful. Now the amazing Dr. Dennis Gross has introduced his Steamer Solutions' Facial Device, and available now at Nordstrom.
At $125, this is a professional device that delivers a constant flow of moisture for up to 20 minutes at a time. Aside from being the most relaxing part of a skincare routine that you'll experience, steam will help clear your pores and hydrate your skin while helping your products do their job even better since the steam helps with penetration.
I love that Dr. Gross has introduced this device. Standing over a boiling tea kettle or boiling pot of water is not my idea of a good time. A device like this that makes the process easy is exactly what I would want. He's already pushing the envelope with his products and now we have our first tool. I can't wait to see what he does next. How about a you?

Kinetic Magic Minnow WE Big Bob Shad Lively Clupea
A wicked bad-boy is ready to hit the sea fishing camps, the charter boats and all the fast boats out to catch the big one. Big Bob is the nastiest sea fishing jig to ever swim in the North Sea. Every year during late winter and early spring the so called "Skrei" – the big pelagic cods from the Barents Sea – gathers close to the coastline of northern Norway of to eat and spawn. The amount of fish is unbelievable and the biggest cods found here are the biggest cods found anywhere in the World. Big Bob is designed to play with these big boys as well as the biggest halibuts. No matter if you are out to set a new European cod record or out to catch a big "barren door", you now have the choice of trying Big Bob in two sizes: Big Bob at 480g and 30cm or the really Big Bob at 730g and 40cm.
During two weeks in March 2012 a phenomenal number of 28 cods over 30 kg (66lb) were caught by anglers visiting the Nordic Sea Angling camp on the norwegian island Sørøya. The majorty of theese including the biggest weighing 37 kg (81lb 9oz) were caught on the Magic Minnow Big Bob sea fishing jig. This is a video showing some of the big fish and the action.

Hmmm Raeders..
You said in Dec 2010; : -
"Skunk-head, eyes red and bloodshot and stinking of weed. Late 20s, physically fit but uncertain of date, time or place. Deeply resentful of any 'interference' to his life - can only take instruction from people he 'respects'.
The list goes on. We can't employ these people - they're a liability and a risk, and there's absolutely no place in Construction for them. These aren't immigrants - two thirds or more of them were white British, the beneficiaries of a generous Welfare system, free education, cradle to grave health care. What the hell do we do with them?"
Don't encourage them please.
- 28 April 2012 at 17:01
Glad you gave it up, Raedwald.
Potheads I encounter nowadays have the lowest perception of any people(?) I ever met.
In fact, except for you and the Beatles, I never encountered any druggies who could deploy coherent language in which to express these 'amazing perceptions.' I suspect that, in your cases, the ability had been nurtured by a decent culture and education before the drug habit was entrenched.
Among today's primitives, I read work that nauseates me: not only because it lacks quality, but because it is soaked in the stench of the filthy weed. Lord, I hate that stuff.

Scrobs - there's a world of difference between the mild euphorics we used at weekends back in those days and self-destruction by Skunk - the difference between drinking a pint of bitter and a pint of Gin. But I take your point that I shouldn't encourage it.

Broaden your boundaries. Start with Huxley's "The Doors Of Perception". And I am sure you are not aware that LSD assisted Francis Crick to envisage the structure of DNA.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The world will likely only be given a 10-minute snapshot of Oscar Pistorius at a hearing Tuesday ahead of his murder trial, a fleeting glimpse of the Olympic athlete when he appears for the first time since he was whisked away into a near four-month period of reclusion after being freed on bail.
Prosecutors say the hearing at the Pretoria Magistrate's Court will probably only last around 10 minutes and will be postponed until a date in August as police investigators continue to gather the evidence that will be presented at trial, possibly in September or October at the city's High Court.
There, a judge will determine if the double-amputee runner could spend 25 years in jail for the Valentine's Day killing of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Since leaving the magistrate's court building in South Africa's capital city on Feb. 22, released on bail after being charged with premeditated murder, Pistorius has been seen in public just twice. And while Tuesday's hearing will likely provide little new insight into the case against him, it will give millions their first close — if short — look at the 26-year-old runner in months.
Pistorius was sobbing the last time he was in court, days after shooting Steenkamp dead through a locked toilet door in his home in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14.
He says he killed his 29-year-old girlfriend by mistake, believing she was a dangerous intruder in his home. Prosecutors maintain he killed her intentionally, knowing she was behind the door when he fired four times into the stall with his 9mm pistol.
Since he was removed from public glare in an SUV with darkened windows at the end of that intensely scrutinized bail hearing, Pistorius has been photographed in his famous carbon fiber blades on his practice track in March, and reportedly visited a Johannesburg restaurant with some friends in April.
Other than that he has been living in self-imposed isolation, his family says, surrounding himself with memories of Steenkamp, sometimes growing a beard to disguise his identity and only occasionally leaving his uncle's house to attend church services.
The smiling global sporting inspiration is gone.
"He's battling. But with the family behind him, his sister living in the same house as he lives ... they assist him a lot," his uncle, Arnold Pistorius, said Sunday. "And we are preparing him. He will definitely be ready. Being the mind that he is, being the man that he is, he will know what it's going to take to do this event."
Arnold Pistorius said his nephew will be ready "once the court case starts and he will be able to stand as a man in that courtroom."
As his trial edges closer and prosecutors gather the final pieces of evidence and complete the state's witness list, Pistorius' team is preparing to defend the 11-page affidavit he presented in bail proceedings and which allowed him to be freed.
He will deny murder and argue he believed he was acting lawfully and in self-defense when he fired the shots that killed Steenkamp with his licensed handgun, criminal and firearm law experts say, even though the athlete concedes now that he made a deadly error.
Pistorius also will be expected to explain his justification for those tragic actions in minute detail by taking the stand and testifying at his trial. A judge will ultimately pronounce him guilty or innocent. South Africa does not have trial by jury.
The Olympian is claiming "putative self-defense," said lawyers who are knowledgeable about the case but are not representing Pistorius. The lawyers, drawing from the unusually detailed affidavit Pistorius' presented, said Pistorius will maintain that in the darkened room, and in a calculation that was gravely mistaken, he decided to fire the shots that killed the model and law graduate because he was certain she was an intruder and both their lives were in danger.
It's a difficult defense for any accused, legal experts say.
"The fact that he has admitted that he has killed her by pulling the trigger means the state has a prima facie case and it is expected of the accused to come and convince the court otherwise," Marius du Toit, a former prosecutor, magistrate and now defense attorney with over 20 years' experience in South Africa's justice system said. "His version is going to be exposed and scrutinized in the finest, finest detail."
And there will be many questions.
"I do not see how Oscar Pistorius could have concluded that a closed door constitutes danger to such an extent that his life is in danger, bearing in mind that he had gone into that situation," leading firearm lawyer Martin Hood said. "So, it begs the question, why did he go looking for trouble?"

Okay, explanation time. Where have I been? What have I been doing? Who the fuck do I think I am posting every day for months and then just, pff, effing off like that into thin air? Do I not understand that bloggers must be there at all times, in all weathers, in order to qualify for attention?
So the reason I have disappeared is this: I am pregnant. Up the duff. Knocked up. In trouble. Oh no wait, not in trouble... sorry for a moment there I forgot I was married. And being pregnant has completely and utterly destroyed my interest in food.
Yes, I'm starving all the time, but only the kind of starving that sees me sitting on the kitchen floor eating cheap chocolate mousse, followed by marmite on toast and then perhaps some cheese, just chewed straight from the packet. (I smooth over the teeth marks with my thumb to fool my husband into thinking that I have not been doing this.)
What I don't want to do is read recipe books, or construct any kind of interesting meal, or think about vegetables (Ack! RETCH RETCH RETCH) ever. Ever, ever again. So you see my problem, perhaps.
I also couldn't say anything until 'Ping' 3 months were up because even though I spit in the face of superstition and drop ice cubes down the back of convention, if I had announced that I was suffering from a SPOT OF MORNING SICKNESS and then junior turned out to have five heads, or no spine, or to be a figment of my imagination, it would be really embarrassing.
But it's okay, says my obstetrician, whom I call The Beast, because it is an approximation of his surname and he is the least beast-like person I know.
I would scan the ultrasound picture in here, but I think doing that is really spooky. And it looks like an alien. But anyway The Beast thinks it's going to be okay. He also thinks I'm boring because I'm 30 and I don't have diabetes or Hepatitis C or sky-high blood pressure, which in the world of obstetrics makes me the equivalent of specially slow-drying paint.
Anyway, back to the food: it's been a disaster for it. And, just between you and me, I'm not sure what happens now. Those of you hoping that this blog might become some kind of media sensation so that you could say you knew me back when, you are going to be sorely disappointed.
I did come out of my temporary retirement the other day to make a fish pie for The Pescetarian, whose real name is Simon, because whenever he comes round to my house I always give him some horrible shit thing that I have hurriedly cooked alongside whatever frabjous feast I have made for my other carniverous guests.
So I thought it was time that he got a dinner of his very own. I was going to say something about my mother's fish pie here, but then I remembered that I personally find stories of other people's mothers' cooking staples quite unbearably tedious - so why should I torture you with tales of mine?
Anyway so fish pie is a thing that's nice. I looked up a Jamie Oliver fish pie recipe and he does his without making a white sauce. I mean, I'm sure it's perfectly marvellous, but I wanted mine with a white sauce, so I sidled away from Jamie, feeling a lot like someone who's just had some advice from Warren Buffet about what do to with £2,000 but decides to go and blow it all on shoes anyway.
I did steal certain elements, like adding chilli, but to be honest I'm not sure how much better that made the finished product.
I'm sorry about the roughness of quantities for this. It really all depends on how big a pie dish you own how much you make.
Top tip: use a bigger dish than you think you need because as this cooks it will bubble a lot and if you fill a dish right to the top with the mixture (as I did) it will bubble over and drip down into the Queen of Puddings you are cooking in the same oven. Yes, I know. What do you want from me? I'M PREGNANT.
A fish pie for Simon
about 250g haddock or any other firm white fish - chopped into chunks
about 250g smoked haddock - chopped into chunks
some prawns (if you eat them... I usually refuse to but I thought I'd put my principles aside this once)
the juice of half a lemon
a quantity of white sauce - about 3/4 of a pint
salt and pepper
1/2 red chilli, no seeds
1 carrot, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
about 5 small potatoes, boiled, skins off
1 Put your peeled potatoes on to boil for about 30 minutes.
2 Meanwhile, make your white sauce - (see white sauce: beginner's only for more on this) - and then add the juice of half a lemon (or to taste, it shouldn't be overpoweringly lemony), your chopped chilli and salt and pepper. When the sauce tastes appropriately salty, creamy and zingy, slide in your fish and and chopped carrot and celery and poach on a gentle heat for about 10 minutes.
3 Add the chopped parsley - about a handful - then leave the fish mixture to stand and then drain your potatoes. I urge you, if possible, to use here a mouli legume or a potato ricer. But if you have neither don't go out and buy one especially: just mash the suckers.
4 Generously butter your pie dish and then flop in the fish mixture, followed by the mashed potato on top. Dot with butter and anything else you fancy (more salt? cheese?!) and then stick it in an 180C oven for about 40 minutes.
Simon said it was nice... but you can never be sure with him.
Here is a picture of France, where I am on holiday (it rained yesterday):

Finalist for Division I Coach of the Year
STILLWATER, Okla. – The Golf Coaches Association of America has announced the finalists for the national coach of the year in Division I men's golf, and Yale head coach Colin Sheehan '97 has made the list.
Sheehan is one of 12 finalists for the honor, with the other selected coaches coming from schools such as UCLA, Georgia Tech and Oklahoma State. The winner will receive the Dave Williams Award, to be presented by Eaton Golf Pride.
The recognition comes at the close of a remarkably successful season for the Elis, during which time Sheehan coached the team to victories at the Ivy League Championships and the Princeton Invitational and second-place finishes at the George Washington Invitational and Macdonald Cup.
The past year has also seen much development in the Yale squad, with notable performances from the underclassmen golfers that Sheehan recruited. Freshman Sam Bernstein took home the Ivy League's Rookie of the Year Award and sophomore Bradley Kushner was selected first team All-Ivy, a surely positive sign for the Bulldogs' future seasons.
Under Sheehan's tenure this season, the upperclassmen players have also stepped up: departing senior captain Thomas McCarthy and junior captain-elect Jeffrey Hatten both excelled throughout the season, with numerous top-10 finishes that resulted in both players' selection for first team All-Ivy.
Sheehan will look to repeat this year's success next season. The official season kicks off with the match against Harvard and Princeton on Sept. 11.

woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She

landmines. The founding coordinator of the
International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL),
she oversaw its growth from a coalition of
two to more than 1,300 organizations from
95 countries. Since 1998, Williams has served
as a Campaign Ambassador for the ICBL, and
in 2004, she was named one of the 100 most

anatomy does not necessarily mean shared
values. Just because you are elected to a
position in the dominant structure and you
are a woman, does not mean that you will
run as a woman. And that can make people
angry, but that's reality.
think we can begin to hold elected female
politicians accountable the day they run
honestly and openly as women.
not just enough to have women in corporate,
structured power – it isn't enough – unless
they are willing to say, "I am here
as the CEO of X,Y,and Z and as CEO, I'm
not going to prove I'm more of a man
than the other guys, I am going to bring
women in this company with me. That I'm
here to make it different.

I'm sorry but Condoleeza Rice is a

women who are running for office talk about

using a different word. I have problems with
the word "power"….I didn't
do what I did for power. I don't think
of it in terms of power. I think of when
I started as an activist I did it because
I thought it was the right thing to do.
I'm this Nobel "thing" and
maybe I just want to zoom under the radar… a
stealth activist.
doesn't matter if you are a full-time
activist, if you are able to construct that
kind of life – it's not an easy
life. It doesn't matter if you decide
on activism in which you donate whatever

about. Or, if one hour a week is too overwhelming
to your schedule, one hour a month. Imagine
if everybody of good will gave one hour a
month to some issue they really cared about,
the world would begin to be really transformed.
have inner peace when I die. My anger is
not going away. I'm pissed off at George

I am pissed off at the oppression of women – and
that rage is what will make me an activist

there is no longer an excuse, "I don't

planet secure, we have to think of the fundamental
security of all.
peace is not global security. I think we
really need to start to think about what
we're talking about when we say, 'peace.'
If I meditate and I'm serene, I'm
serene. Peace is a big thing in the planet
and it is not just the absence of armed conflict.
Peace is socio-economic justice, gender equality,
a world where people live with freedom from
fear, and freedom from want. Peace is not
for wimps – peace is the Nelson Mandelas,
it's the Aung Sun Suu Kyis, it's
all of us who work every day to make the
world just. So let's reclaim peace.
I am sick of being called a wimp, because
I believe in peace.

If China's growth is subsidized at all, it's surely subsidized by the amount of goods we buy from them.
But they are a growing competitor with the United States and clearly want to control Asia and the Pacific.
Meanwhile, we have a border problem with Mexico, another country with a lot of impoverished citizens. If we're going to do a lot of trade with a country, Mexico makes a lot more sense than China. Improving their economy could eventually totally eliminate the problem of undocumented "illegal" workers coming across the border for work.
Yet, I hear neither candidate promoting this idea? Why don't they?
Views: 684
Haha, maybe they watch too much Fox News, too?
Does anyone know if the gov't/media there uses Fox outtakes to bolster their own propaganda against us?
This is what is so hard even for atheists to accept: If you believe in free will, you believe in miracles. Events which are exceptions to the ordinary laws governing events and interactions in the real world.
A good place to start would be to turn Mexico into the new China. Having paying work would help Mexicans stay with their families in Mexico instead of illegally crossing the border in order earn more money than they can in Mexico. They should be competitive with Chinese labor, and just as is happening in China, over time it will raise their entire economy.
I don't understand why neither Obama nor Romney is pushing this idea, unless they are afraid of anti-Mexican racism.
It's up to the Mexican government, not ours, to encourage the formation of businesses and manufacturing in Mexico.
We have already formed a free trade area with Mexico; it's not like they are producing products and we aren't buying them; they just aren't producing products.
Maybe we should use various incentives to get American businesses to invest in Mexico. There's far more benefit to the United States of a prosperous Mexico than a prosperous China. I fail to see a downside.
I agree I'd rather see us trade with Mexico and for that matter Canada.
But Mexico has a rotten "business climate" and that's not something we can overcome from here.
What is their business climate like? Surely a carrot/stick approach by a much more powerful country would result in major concessions eventually, not to mention the attraction of the higher revenues the government would enjoy.
Another beneifit: as their government brings in higher revenues, they can do more to fight the war on drugs within their own borders. If they can't do it, and if their criminal underworld continues to move north from bases in Mexico, the United States may have no choice but to go in and do it for them. I think they'd prefer to do it themselves, but I'm sure one reason they don't is lack of funds for the necessary resources.
My guess is, that the original plan, by which administration, I can't be sure, was to give China a taste of Capitalism, to lure them out of their godless Communist ways, and the cheap labor didn't exactly hurt either. Meanwhile, their markets were opened to us, so we get our investment money back as they buy our products.
But the Chinese are clever people - they will learn from us, then we'll see who is the master, Grasshopper --
Steve is right - along the US/Mexcan border there is what is known as the Maquiladora Industry - a series of Fabricas, or factories, set up where Mexican workers come to manufacture products commissioned by US companies under the Free Trade Act that had Republicans all bent out of shape some years back.
All of Central America is a source of cheap labor, if that's the only reason for using China, but I suspect it's more than that - it's a case of feeding the Tiger.
Maybe we're afraid China will call in our debt to them.
I DO believe that's part of it. We need to get our economic shit together and buy it back. Any idea what it's up to now? I have a little change I could spare --

Jason Mattera Still Hasn't Found What He's Looking For
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
As part of the promotional rollout for his new book, Hollywood Hypocrites, Jason Mattera yesterday unveiled an ambush interview he conducted with U2 lead singer Bono. Or at least, that's who Mattera thought he had ambushed.
The video was posted at conservative websites like Breitbart.com and Glenn Beck's The Blaze, but was later marked "private" on YouTube and pulled from Breitbart.com. Why? As explained by The Blaze,"There is widespread discussion on Twitter that the person Mattera interviewed in the videos may have been a Bono impersonator."
In what is likely the vaguest retraction in recent history, Breitbart.com added an editor's note saying, "Last night, we removed an article about Bono at the request of the videographer who had provided the links to the videos upon which the article had been based."
During an appearance on Sean Hannity's radio program yesterday, which includes a brief snippet of the Mattera interview with "Bono," Hannity and Mattera touted "bad boy reporter" Mattera's impressive ambush interview skills. Asked by Hannity how he managed to get an interview with "Bono," Mattera replied that it was "basic shoeleather journalism." (Hannity promised to run the video on last night's edition of his Fox News program, but said on Twitter this morning that Mattera's appearance was preempted by election coverage and that they would run the video tonight instead.)
Mattera and Hannity complained about how "Bono" refused to answer Mattera's inquiries about controversy over U2's taxes. As Mattera put it, "He just filibusters forever without any actual explanation."
In light of the speculation that Mattera was actually interviewing a Bono impersonator, some of the exchanges in the video take on newfound hilarity, including Mattera browbeating "Bono" for saying that he doesn't have control over U2 (transcript via The Blaze):
Mattera: By dodging taxes on royalties are you raiding the poverty programs you purport to champion?
Bono: No.
Mattera: No? Don't you want governments to be generous with other people's money and not yours?
Bono: I don't have control over that...
Mattera: How do you not have control over that? It's your company. Are you not in charge of your own company?
Bono: It's not my company.
Mattera: You have no say in what U2 does?
Bono: Not particularly.
Mattera: You don't? You don't have a say in what U2 does?
Bono: No.
It's no longer possible to watch the video online, but courtesy of The Blaze, here's a shot of Mattera interviewing "Bono."
Via Ebaum's World (h/t commenter eddie-george), here's the now-pulled interview between Mattera and "Bono":
The video identifies the encounter as having taken place on February 8, 2012, at The Village Recording Studios. Last night, Twitter user Mark Abernathy pointed out that a Bono impersonator was present at an event there that night (and wearing identical clothes as the "Bono" that appears in the video).
Sean Hannity, who played portions of this interview on the radio yesterday, owes his listeners a retraction.
The Washington Post's Erik Wemple got comments from both Mattera and the Bono impersonator. Mattera admits that he "got punked," which he claims was "bound to happen sooner or later":
Yes, he says: "I got punked. I thought I got Bono. I didn't. I got his impersonator apparently. Hats off to him. He got me -- and how!" writes Mattera in an e-mail that speaks to his sense of accountability. "After scores of interviews with big-time politicians and celebrities, I finally got had. It was bound to happen sooner or later. On the bright side, if I'm gonna get had as good as I did, it might as well be in pursuit of one of the greatest rockers ever. While we're on the subject of me getting snookered, I'm now left to ponder: was that really Vice President Joe Biden I talked to?"
It's true! When you practice "basic shoeleather journalism," you will inevitably spend several minutes interviewing a Bono impersonator about U2's taxes at some point.
Wemple's entire piece is worth reading. Highlights include the Bono impersonator telling Wemple that he was "waiting" for Mattera to clue into the fact that he wasn't actually Bono, but that it never happened.
During today's radio show, Hannity apologized for running the Mattera video yesterday and invited Mattera on to explain himself. Mattera, who said that he was "sort of laughing about it," repeated his explanation to Erik Wemple that "it was bound to happen that I would be punked sooner or later."
Hannity, who said that he finds the entire story "hilarious," explained: "I looked at it -- it looked pretty real to me. And I just figured you were standing next to him that you would know if it was or wasn't but I guess if he can convince you, then the guy deserves credit for being that good at it." The impersonator told Wemple that he wasn't even "pretending to be Bono" and that he wasn't trying to affect Bono's accent.

For the second time in four years, Japanese whiskies scooped both the major categories at this year's World Whiskies Awards. And for the first time in the competition's history a single distiller won both of those top prizes: Suntory.
Best single malt in the world: Yamazaki 1984Dave Broom, chairman of the judges, said:
Best blended whisky in the world: Hibiki 21-year-old
"Undoubtedly this was the highest quality final round we have seen yet in the WWA. All the whiskies there were superb examples of their region and style and to take the top prize was a major achievement. For one distiller to take both prizes is a phenomenal achievement and shows the world the quality which exists within Japanese whisky. This achievement will send a clear message around the world."The competition is organised by Whisky Magazine and is one of the major events in the international whisky calendar. It has been one of the key driving forces in establishing Japan as a respected whisky region. In 2001, a precursor of the competition shocked the world by announcing a 10-year-old Yoichi whisky as the best single malt in the world. In 2008, the victory of a Yoichi 1987, from Nikka Whisky, and a Hibiki 30-year-old blend from Suntory, in the same two categories scooped by Suntory this year prompted portentous headlines in the UK press. Now, they have done it again. The competition is judged by a team of international judges of writers, retailers, distillers and blenders from the UK, US, Canada, France, Germany and Japan. They taste whiskies 'blind' over two rounds to first discern sub-category, then category winners.
Yamazaki 1984, a really unique whisky that blew my mind when I tasted it, topped its age category within Japanese single malts, beat all the other Japanese single malt sub-category winners to become the best Japanese single malt winner. In the final round, it was pitched against all the other single malt sub-category winners: Springbank 12-year-old, Auchentoshan 1998, Glenmorangie Signet, Glenfarclas 40-year-old, Bowmore Tempest, Highland Park 25-year-old, Redbreast 15-year-old, Bushmills 16-year-old and Kavalan Solist (from Taiwan!).
In the blended malt category, Glenmorangie's James Martin's 30yo beat last year's champion, Nikka Whisky's Taketsuru 21-year-old.
Another interesting story from the awards was the good performance of Ichiro Akuto's Ichiro's Malt range in the "Best Non Scotch Blended Malt Whisky" category. Taketsuru 21 came out on top but the other sub category winners in that division were Ichiro's Malt MWR (Mizunara Wood Reserve), Ichiro's Malt Double Distilleries, and Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve.
In the Japanese section, the best blend and single malt categories were won by the overall competition winners. The sub-category winners in the Best Japanese Blended Whisky section were Hibiki 12, Hibiki 17, Hibiki 21 and Nikka From the Barrel. Best Japanese single malt subcategory winners: Hakushu Bourbon Barrel, Yoichi 10 Years Old, Yoichi 1990.

The United States Geological Survey reported that starting at about 2 p.m. on Monday, April 30, 2018, marked increases in seismicity and ground deformation indicated that a change was underway at Pu'u 'Ō'ō on Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift Zone.
Visibility was nearly obscured due to poor weather conditions, but a brief clearing allowed Hawaiian Volocano Observatory's webcam (POcam) to capture this image of the crater within Pu'u 'Ō'ō shortly before the crater floor began collapsing.
A new crack about .6 miles long was found on the west (uprift) side of Pu'u 'Ō'ō during HVO's overflight today. The cracking appeared to be nearly continuous en echelon structures that were heavily steaming.
Within hours of the Pu'u 'Ō'ō crater floor collapse, HVO's monitoring instruments recorded increased seismicity and ground deformation along Kīlauea Volcano's East Rift Zone (ERZ) that continued through the night.
As of Tuesday, May 1, the eruption at the summit of Kīlauea has apparently not been affected by the collapse at Pu'u 'Ō'ō or intrusion of magma along the volcano's Lower East Rift Zone.

Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read
The bestselling cult classic—now a major motion picture directed by Steven Spielberg.
At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.
It's the year 2045, and the real world is an ugly place.
Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday's riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday's icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes's oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.
And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.
Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt—among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life—and love—in the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
A world at stake.
A quest for the ultimate prize.

Undertale is a 2-D role-playing game that uses bullet-hell sequences for combat. It has a very cute, though often dark, story line. It reminds me a lot of Earthbound, only more interesting.
I own this game and have beaten the average ending and the true pacifist ending.
- Overall: 9/10
- Best Version: Windows
- The writing is really good. It really makes you feel the feels.
- The game is technically attractive with a mock 8-bit feel. Both the graphics and sound feel 8-bit or 16-bit, but various tells make it obvious that it's 32-bit.
- A lot of nice small touches were put into the game so you're often rewarded for taking a different approach to the game.
- Most of the game's characters are charming without becoming annoying.
- I actually felt bad that I killed Toriel, and tried calling her on the cell afterward, and was saddened that she didn't answer.
- The various mini-games used for combat are really cool.
- A lot of the monsters are clever ideas.
- The idea of making the "hero" out to be the bad guy in the game is quite clever, even more so, the more evil you become, the harder the game gets.
- The various end bosses are really impressive.
- The game remembers your previous play-through choices when you replay it and includes them in the dialog, which is really clever. So, even though the main story is short, there is a lot to do.
- The game's music is phenomenal.
- Some of the sections in the game are quite dull. You often walk down plain corridors consisting of nothing but flat colors. I'm assuming this was added for ambiance, but it just slows down the game.
- Sometimes, the next step of the game isn't obvious, and you wander around for awhile, which is dull.
- Nothing.

I have a friend who has not quilted but wants to make a Hawaiian quilt. She has the pattern and fabric, and she is a good learner. I told her to practice on something small first, but what other advice should I give her?
I have never done a Hawaiian quilt and I have never tried applique'. I am afraid I am not going to be too helpful. She lives in Maryland and I am in Texas, so I can't hop over to help.
Any hints for her? Thanks.
