The 2012 election cycle officially came to an end today with the traditional burying of the hatchet at the 200th anniversary of Return Day in Georgetown.
The 2012 election cycle officially came to an end today with the traditional burying of the hatchet at the 200th anniversary of Return Day in Georgetown.
Thousands of Delawareans attended the daylong festivities, which saw clear skies and relatively warm temperatures for the first time in four years, despite heavy rain forcing the cancelling of several related events planned for Wednesday evening.
"I'm just so thankful because it could have been a lot like it was last night and that would have been horrible," said Rosalie Walls, the Return Day Committee chairwoman since 1990. "So many people put so much work into this, it's terrible when the weather doesn't cooperate, but luckily it did this year."
Walls said attendees seemed especially pleased to see the vendors and traditional ox roast return to The Circle after security precautions associated with Vice President Joe Biden pushed them onto East Market Street in 2008 and 2010.
"I think everything went well this year," Walls said. "Right now, I just want to thank everyone for coming out and having a good time today, and then maybe tomorrow I'll breathe a sigh of relief."
Although Return Day celebrated its 200th anniversary today, no one truly knows when the tradition got its start.
What is known is that Georgetown became the county seat in 1792, and at that time, Sussex County voters had to travel here to cast their ballots. By 1812, it had become a common practice for those same voters to gather in The Circle two days later to hear the election results.
"With TV and the Internet, there isn't really a need for voters to come back to hear how the election went, but the tradition lives on," Georgetown Mayor Mike Wyatt said. "It's an event entirely unique to Georgetown and Sussex County and it's a tradition we're proud to be a part of."
While crowds began to form in The Circle early this morning, the Sussex County Mayor's Hatchet Toss is the first major event of Return Day and its newest tradition. Laurel Mayor John Shwed won this year's event over Wyatt, Bridgeville Mayor Patsy Correll, Blades Mayor Mike Smith and Seaford Mayor Bill Bennett.
Next came the Return Day parade, which features statewide and local general election candidates riding together in horse-drawn carriages.
This year's parade featured notables such as Gov. Jack Markell and his Republican opponent Jeffrey Cragg, joined by Lt. Gov. Matthew Denn and his Republican opponent Sher Valenzuela.
Congressman John Carney also rode with his Republican opponent Tom Kovach.
U.S. Sen. Tom Carper walked the parade route with his Republican opponent Kevin Wade, while Alex Pires, the Independent Party of Delaware candidate, opted to ride alone.
"I'm the senior Senator and I've been elected statewide 13 times, but somebody else stole my chariot," Carper joked afterward. "I think the real winner at Return Day is neither the Republicans nor the Democrats, but the state's the winner because we all say, 'the campaign's over, let's figure out how to govern," and that's very special."
After the parade, former Georgetown Mayor and longtime Town Crier Layton Johnson read this year's election results from the balcony of the Sussex County Courthouse.
Return Day culminated, as it always does, with members of the various political parties, including Sussex County Republican Committee chairman Jerry Wood and Sussex County Democratic Committee Chairman Ed O'Conner, took part in the ceremonial burying of the hatchet in a box of sand from Lewes, the county's original seat.
Attendees at this year's Return Day included first timers, long standing loyalists and a few who made the trip back for the first time in years.
"I've always know it's a big event but I've never been before this year," said Frankford resident Michele Chandler, who brought her 2-year-old daughter Jillian and 6-month-old daughter Chloe. "I wanted my kids to see this, especially my 2-year-old, because it seemed like fun and there's nothing else like it."
Helena Hjoerringgaard, a 16-year-old exchange student from Denmark, said she'd never seen an event quite like Return Day.
"They don't do this in Denmark," she said. "We also don't get off for Election Day, so I think this whole week has been amazing."
Her host parent, Mike Purnell of Rehoboth Beach, said he grew up with Return Day as a former Georgetown resident, but hadn't been back in years.
"My favorite part is the ox roast, because when they cook it over charcoal it has a different flavor that's really good," he said. "I also want to see all the politicians bury the hatchet, and not necessarily in someone's skull."
Georgetown resident Lewis Briggs said this year's event was closer to the Return Days he remembers as a child.
"I attended my first one in 1952, less than a month after I was born, and the only ones I've missed were when I was serving in the military," he said. "This one here today is great. Between the weather and security concerns, the last two were terrible, but today it's a nice fall day in Georgetown.'
Ken Towers, a Georgetown-area resident who spent the day serving up ox to hungry attendees, agreed
"We don't have any snow, wind or rain and I'm so excited we're back on The Circle," he said. "It feels like Return Day has been returned to the people instead of the politicians, and that's our goal."

From the xkcd forumsReplyDelete
"It looks like a jock's attempt at insulting XKCD. Obviously someone doesn't "get" XKCD's humor, doesn't understand the nature of XKCD's influence on the tech and science communities, and they're attempting to insult XKCD because it's a gathering they're not invited to and that damages their fine-china-fragile popularity-contest-driven-ego. Even the name is an attempt to insult XKCD fans (and completely misses the point that XKCD are randomly picked letters with no actual meaning).
I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me anyway.
I don't even find the shirts particularly funny"
Somebody sure is butthurt. The guy who created lnmc understands xkcd fans all too well.
The last LNMC is what you get when you cross xkcd and Powerup Comics.ReplyDelete
@Tim: Which half is Powerup Comics... I'm not familiar with them. But if it's the half that's "Cake > Pi" (the funny part) then I think I want to become familiar with them. That was awesome.ReplyDelete
In fact, I couldn't resist making a Powerup Comics/LNMC edit. Come to think about it, this particular Powerup Comic works for many actual xkcds too.ReplyDelete
Rinnon: the part where a guy shoots the other guy. And I totally recommend against reading Powerup Comics if you wish to preserve your sanity. It's intentionally made to be as bad and unfunny as possible.ReplyDelete
As a parody, that was awful.ReplyDelete
Except for the fourth comic, that was pretty good. The rest sadly lacked any subtlety - as if we were in a schoolyard and the bully imitates the nerd to make him look ridiculous. They're not even trying to do it intelligently.
Oh. Well, then the funniest thing of that whole list was the shirt advertisement, which upon further investigation, was an advertisement for the website.
1st: I liked this one; it's every bit as in-your-face, hamfisted and unsubtle as xkcd itself. I think it nailed the pandering quite well, though it doesn't at all qualify as *witty* satire.ReplyDelete
2nd: Not sure I get this, really. Is it implying that the xkcd persona can't get along with women? It seems dumb.
3rd: That was nice and simple. It definitely distills the "I'm depressed and YOU SHOULD BE TOO" spirit of many xkcd comics.
4th: Actually, I thought this was one of the weakest. It's too obvious. In fact, if Randall were smart, he could use exactly this comic as a lighthearted laugh at himself.
5th: Nothing to add. It's not witty or clever, but it hits the nail in the head.
6th: Yeah, that doesn't look particulatly xkcd-esque. Though the feeling of superiority and subtle arrogance are all well-known elements of xkcd, they're not well represented here.
The T-shirt: I'm sort of neutral to it. It's not particularly clever, and not really very funny.
yeah #6 is much better as a Powerup Comics than an XKCD, because it is very nearly perfectly within Shad's wheelhouseReplyDelete
maybe if the dude on the left had been Black Hat Guy, and instead of shooting Dumb Jock Guy he had used a sonic screwdriver
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 1:41 PM
Haha, Rinnon. You can tell she's the resident xkcd apologist, because she just lapped that facile cake > PI stuff up.ReplyDelete
xkcd fans are mewling idiots. Screaming "jocks" as a defense is amusing, because clothing yourself in expensive branded apparel, chanting stock memes and assuming that anybody not acting the same way is inferior to you is somehow different from what a jock does.
Cute, but not especially clever. I agree with much of the criticism that goes down here, but I agree with David in that a lot of it did feel like a dumb jock making fun of the smart kid in the playground. They may be on our side but they're making us look bad! Did snigger at the 3rd one though.ReplyDelete
- pervycreeperFebruary 25, 2010 at 2:36 PM
I believe David is correct in observing that there is a certain underlying animus against nerddom in this parody, but I would say that this is more of a reaction towards and critique of Randall's flamboyant flaunting of his way of being, interests and lifestyle, rather than a traditional "bully the nerd" attitude.ReplyDelete
The "jock" insult definitely needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. We're not in the 80's anymore, when nerds definitely were humiliated even on TV and films. Being a nerd is, now, more than ever, FASHIONABLE.ReplyDelete
In that sense, making fun of nerds is in no way different from making fun of emo kids.
but emo kids are SO CUTEReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 2:52 PM
It's somethingawful, jesusReplyDelete
It's not "dumb jocks make fun of smart nerds"
It's "nerds who arent total spazzes making fun of nerds who think they're better than non-nerds simply because REFERENCES"
Somethingawful has a theme running throughout all its enterprises whether on the main site or in the forums at large that this whole idea of a "nerd culture" is profoundly retarded and that while its perfectly okay to enjoy nerdy things, to supplant your identity with the media you consume is retarded.
That's why they'd go after xkcd in the first place- because its a comic that celebrates how great it is to be an arrogant, socially stunted adolescent.
"Nerd culture" makes me shudder every time I hear it. Now that everyone that watches Lost, owns a Mac, and/or took a calculus course once thinks they're a "nerd" (doubly so if they have a t-shirt with "NERD" written across the front that they bought off the internet), what do they call the real nerds?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 3:31 PM
Suicidal, is what.ReplyDelete
Honestly, as soon as I became an adult—ready to start enjoying the culture and lifestyle that had been a disadvantage to as a child—idiots had ruined it. That's not an exaggeration. I can't even work as a programmer without being miserable, because if you don't constantly spout the latest memes and act like a COMPLETE FUCK you have a miserable and lonely office life.
So hey, xkcdsucks is actually quite important to me. That's why I devote time to complaining about a web comic, cuddlefish. And no, I can't just avoid it.
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 3:40 PM
When did watching LOST become a part of "nerd culture?" And calculus is standard curriculum, anyway.ReplyDelete
And Macs are hardly nerdy. Macs are for people who want to get shit done, not dick around with games on Windows. Linux would be superior to Mac except Linux can't run Adobe on it. Also, Macs are shiny...
I don't know how anyone could articulate the point so well and still miss it.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 3:59 PM
Something Awful sure is something awful.ReplyDelete
@Anon 1:14: Are you talking about me, or to me? First, yep, I like XKCD, but I'm no apologist, I'm not here to defend it. Second, I feel the need to clarify that I'm not a she.ReplyDelete
- ScottMcTonyFebruary 25, 2010 at 5:10 PM
Rinnon, I unconsciously become very attached to my mental projections. While I can normally do a decent job fighting value rigidity, voices in my head become locked in for years in less than a week.ReplyDelete
As such, while I now know you're a dude, everything you say shall henceforth remain said in the female voice my brain picked out for you.
Oh and Anon 1:14; You're silly!
My early submission to the xkcdsucks contest:ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 25, 2010 at 6:13 PM
The funny thing about that comic (the original) is that Jim Davis did that exact thing, once and only once.ReplyDelete
@Scott: I was afraid of that... I didn't realize my name was so ambiguous! But, I understand and I'm not offended. In my head, your voice is Scottish, so yeah. (It's the McTony)ReplyDelete
On this note, true, slightly related, funny story. I've been working in tech support call centers for a few years now. Back when I was 19 when I was first getting started, I was working for the local ISP where I live. Over the phone, for whatever reason, I have a voice which is a tone or so higher than most guys. This is supplemented by the fact that when I am in "customer service" mode, my voice goes one tone higher. Consequently, I am often mistaken for a female by callers. (I'm destined to be mistaken for a girl it seems... but for the record, if you met me in real life, I'm seriously not the least bit feminine).
Anyways, at first someone would say "yes ma'am" to me and I'd think... "did she just say yes ma'am?" but I wouldn't ask and the call would end. Then, at one point, I got a guy on the phone, clearly and older guy, mid 50s or so, and I was positive he called me "dear" when I told him to restart his computer. I shrug it off, maybe I'm hearing things. Then he calls me "sweetheart"... I'm not really sure what to do at now... if I point out at THIS point that I'm a dude, it's going to make the whole rest of the call awkward, and this call is going to be at least another 15 minutes. So I pretend that I didn't notice. And finally, he says to me "You know, this is the longest I've been on the phone with a woman in a long time." It was pretty fucking embarrassing. I didn't know what to do, so I said nothing! I think I may have even acted a little indignant, as if I did not appreciate that attitude from a caller. My sup was listening in at that moment, I realized it when he couldn't stop laughing moments later. In retrospect though, it WAS pretty funny. Long story short, I'm used to it. =P
Anon 3:31, it this is a place of solace for you, then make a name, PLEASE, otherwise you're going to be mistaken as dumb cuddlefish 2:01 or something (just making up a time, not pointing fingers)ReplyDelete
Daniel Franke: Haha, good one.ReplyDelete
i fucking hate geeks. I don't identify myself as one at all. I like the internet, I program and I'm tech savvy but being a geek implies being a fucking douchebag about it. I have mostly, if not only non-geek friends and I'm totally fine with that and they don't mind me being a bit techy because I'm not a fucking arrogant prick about it.ReplyDelete
That is all.
Dunno, everytime I read "Rinnon", I'm reminded of "Trymon", so in a sense I just can't imagine Rinnon as a woman now. Even after all these amusing tales, ha ha!ReplyDelete
Which, in retrospect, was a clever association made by my brain. Yay, brain!
Daniel, you could have made that stick figure over blue background look less pasted on... other than that, nice comic. :D
CAPTCHA: delema. The Rinnon Gender "Delema"
Professional Mole:ReplyDelete
Yeah, I'll fix that if I can. Let's just say my GIMP skills are not quite up to the task of stick figures yet.
@ProMole: I'm not sure how to feel about your post. On the one hand, flattered that you associated my name with that of a wizard. On the other hand... that captcha... It's a dilemma now? And did you NEED to capitalize it like it was an up and coming episode on 20/20!? Haha!ReplyDelete
Rinnon: No, of course it's not a dillema. But I had this very easily punnable CAPTCHA, I HAD to do it! I capitalized because that's how you do with those things, no? The Principle of Relativity, the Law of Gravitation...ReplyDelete
Daniel: If you put the stick figures cut from white brackground on a separate layer and use the "Layer -> Transparency -> Color to Alpha" option on them(with white as the color), you can make it so it blends well over any background.
PS.: Rinnon, on the other hand, Trymon wasn't quite a guy to be flattered for being associated with, no? He was quite efficient as a wizard, on the other other hand...
Hahahah, I know I know, I just had to give you trouble for it. The pun was definitely worth it.ReplyDelete
As far as Trymon... look, my previous web handle when I was a kid (read like 12) was Buttonkid. It would be abreviated into BK, ergo, I was associated with Fast Food. Crazy Tentacle Wizard is a step up. (I'm remember the right wizard right?)
Really sucks that I can't socialize with anyone on the basis of common interests on account of how they are all totally mentally fucking retarded. Even in high school, the "jocks" were invariably way more creative and interesting than any self-described "nerd" or "geek" chosen from the population at random.ReplyDelete
Also, all that rampant sexism. Sucks, brah.
Captcha: miniplau. the most adorable of all plows, and with precision German engineering to boot

Tomas And David - Body Worship - FULL CONTACT
Tomas Kukal and David Kadera are both very well defined guys. They are in the gym for training, with David assisting Tomas as he lifts the dumbells. Then they reverse and Tomas helps David. His hands run over David's biceps as the weights are lifted, and then a hand drifts onto his chest. David stands and stretches an arm out, muscles rippling as Tomas runs his hands up and down it. Then Tomas does the same with the other arm. Then it is Tomas' turn to do some more weights and David gives him the same attention. They are clearly into each other's bodies as they train, slowly and senuously. David goes further and begins to lick Tomas' chest. He encourages Tomas' to kiss him and then stands him up and contiues to lick his chest, and his him. Tomas appears to have a very hard cock in his jockstrap. David licks the jockstrap and pulls it open to release Tomas' cock, which is standing fully to attention. David licks the cock and the balla and takes the head in his mouth. He sucks on that throbbing cock before standing so that Tomas can undress him. David's cock is rock hard too and Tomas quickly goes down and begins to suck it. He looks magnificent as he is bent over and sucking David's cock. The guys are both so horny and have a cock fight before David bends Tomas over and begins to rim his beautiful ass. He rims that tight hole and slips a finger in to test it out. Tomas takes it very well so David is encourage and wants to go further. He stands and soon as his cock depp in Tomas' ass. Tomas really feels it as it rams into his hole, but is very eager to please and take as much as he can. David continues to fuck as hard as he can with Tomas relaxing into it, and taking it very well. David then has Tomas turn onto his back for more fucking, his ass now very receptive to taking that throbbing cock. Tomas is wanking himself and shoots his load with David pushing his dick back into that ass for more fucking. It's not long before David is ready to cum as well and he moves to shoot his load over Tomas' face. It is a nice creamy load and Tomas takes the spent cock in his mouth to clean it off. What a lovely shoot with two magnificent specimens of manhood.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Our latest Streethunting scene takes place at the local nudist beach area at lake Lhota. The cameraman first finds a guy who is not in the naked area, but he isn't interested in getting naked for money. He then spies a guy stripping off and swimming. Going over to him he calls out and chats. The guy is Honza Baros and he comes out of the water for to speak to the cameraman. Honza is asked on his views about doing some photos naked, and sex for money. He says that he doesn't see anything wrong in it. He also says that he has had a girlfriend for the past 6 months. He is then offered some money to go into the woods, with the cameraman do so some shots. Honza takes the money and off they go. Once they have found a secluded spot the cameraman asks Honza so show him his muscles. Honza flexes his biceps and the cameraman reaches out to touch him. He feels the body and reaches down and grabs Honza's cock, through his shorts. The cameraman is very bold and suggests that Honza can have more money if he will fuck with him. Honza readily agrees. Asked if he has every sucked a cock before Honza says no. But when instructed he gets down onto his knees ready for it. The cameraman takes a hard cock out of his jeans and Honza takes it in his mouth. He begins to suck, under instruction, and the cameraman puts his hand on the back of Honza's head and begins to fuck his mouth. Honza sucks and licks the cock as the camera is close up on the action. Then he stands and pulls his cock out, with the cameraman taking hold of it and placing it next to his own. Then Honza's cock is wanked a bit before he is told to suck that big cock again. He obligingly goes back down on his knees and does it. Then he helps the cameraman off his with his jeans and underwear. Then he gets naked himself and wanks his cock to get it hard before being instructed to get down on his knees in doggy position. The cameraman is ready, with that rock hard cock and slips it into Honza's ass. He begins to fuck that ass and is eager to get in nice and deep. So he places the camera somewhere to film himself fucking and gets down on his knees for better access. That big dick goes deep into Honza's ass and, for his first time he takes it very well indeed. A change of position, into spoon, let's us see that the cameraman is actually Mirek Ceslar and he fuck Honza nice and slowly. After fucking for a while in that position Mirek lays on his back and Honza is told to sit on that cock and fuck himself with it. Honza really does it well, sliding up and down on that big pole. When he has had a nice ride on that cock Honza stands and wanks himself until his cock is hard. Then he bends over and leans on a tree to take Mirek's cock again. Then Honza lays back down on the towel and wanks himself some more. As he does so Mirek slips his dick in that ass again, and Honza shoots his load while he is being fucked. Mirek has more in store for Honza and positions him on his knees again. He wanks himself and dumps a huge load of cum into Honza's mouth and all over his face and hair. Honza finishes off by sucking on Mirek's spent cock. He is then told that Mirek can arrange more work for him if he coes in for a casting. What a lovely shoot, with Honza being a great sport and taking it all very well.

We've had some interesting weather in Prague. Right now it's tolerable.
Mad Monk got on the broomstick and flew back to New York on Saturday.
First I want to wish all of our friends in the USA a very happy Fourth of July. However, I'm in for a very lonely week here. The fifth and sixth are very important Czech holidays, and I expect Prague to be pretty empty. Holiday or not, Mr. Boris has scheduled a full compliment of shoots on Thursday and Friday. No rest for the weary.
Meanwhile, I've posted a couple of very nice Sneak Peeks on the Blog. First we got the lovely Lukas Pribyl to bottom. Thought it would never happen, but I'm so glad we accomplished it. Mr. Franky, did a very nice Backstage on Petrn Hill. Then we have the Third of the Mad Monk's July Wank Party Backstage Documentaries. Take a look at both on the Blog.
Two fabulous muscle guys, David Kadera and Tomas Kukal feature in our Body Worship today. We also have Radek Kukpsky's massage, Olda Labuts Erotic Video and the stills shoot with best friends Lukas Nypl and Paco Mlaticka.
Our castings today are Jan Poliak, Lukas Pesan, Jan Busta and Marek Kynsela. All look good and have their individual merits but I think I will choose Jan Poliak as my pick today.

Sure, Microsoft and Google may be trying to murder each other when it comes to technology, but the two companies can always team up for a good cause. This week in London, the two companies along with others including Amazon, Dell, and Nokia came together to launch the brand new InterTech Diversity Forum for LGBT+ people (since when did we get a "plus" added?).
The event was not only a time for LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) employees to congregate, but for corporations to show off how supportive they have been. Andrew Sinclair, General Manager of Skype, stated that:
"We have a great history of building diversity within our workforce. In fact in 1989, Microsoft was one of the first big global companies that gave same-sex domestic partners benefits and to have diversity policies around gender identity. It's something that we're very proud of and something that we have been driving for such a long time."
Andrew MacApline, the co-chairman of InterTech, also spoke about his experiences while working at Google:
"Being gay at Google is a non-issue because you are given the freedom to be yourself. I would love for InterTech to empower and enable other LGBT+ people to replicate that type of environment in their own work place."
The event was able to raise €1750 (around $2,683) including an €850 donation from Google.
The next InterTech party is planned for some time in London and while aimed at the LGBT+ community, welcomes all sexual orientations to attend and have some fun.
For now, you can follow the initiative on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.

A killer tornado obliterated a Tinker Federal Credit Union branch in Moore, Okla., but its steel safe deposit vault encased in concrete saved the lives of Branch Manager Jan Davis, eight members and 14 employees.
That image, of the vault standing sentinel surrounded by debris, was one of the striking images that captured national media coverage after the May 20 storm.
Only nine days after the tornado killed 25 people in Moore, injured hundreds of others, destroyed 1,300 homes, two schools and numerous businesses, including the Moore branch, The $3.1 billion credit union's senior management and the board of directors decided to immediately start the process of rebuilding the branch in the same location.
"My staff is excited about going back home," Davis said in an interview with the Credit Union Times. "I love this community. I can't imagine being somewhere else."
Although the vault that saved 22 lives had to be scrapped, a portion of its wall has been saved to create a memorial at the new 6,000-square-foot branch, which will feature a personal finance café, investment center, an indoor children's play area, six drive-through lanes, an ATM, and of course, a new safe deposit vault.
The details of the memorial are still being worked out, said Matthew Stratton, TFCU senior vice president of marketing. More than 20 photos of the branch's reconstruction are posted on the credit union's website.
Some of the people who huddled in the vault during the tornado were interviewed on national news broadcasts such as NBC and CNN. The story also appeared on news sites throughout the country and around the world.
As the tornado approached, Davis and employees closed the branch and quickly ushered everyone into the vault. Despite the F-5 tornado's ferocious winds of 261 to 318 mph, Davis and others in the vault managed to keep the door shut.
For about three horrifying minutes, Davis, the employees and members were cramped in a safe deposit vault as the monstrous tornado was raging around them, destroying everything in its path.
"I was at the door and left it just a crack open so I could tell what was happening," she described in May. "Once I heard the noise of the tornado—the cracks and the pops—I knew it was there and pulled the steel door shut. We heard very loud bangs and crashes, glass breaking, things hitting things. There was no doubt in anybody's mind in that vault that the building was gone."
While Tinker FCU's storm protocols went smoothly, the Oklahoma City-based cooperative is considering installing a latch system for its vault doors to keep them closed during a natural disaster.
"The vault is designed to keep people out, not accidentally lock people in," Stratton said. "There is probably going to be some type of adaptation to make it easier to latch the vault from the inside but would still allow people to get out."
Davis said the new branch will be one of the first new structures to pop up in the devastated area. Because the branch can be seen from Interstate 35 it will give passersby and visitors a strong sign that the city is on the rebound, she said.
Moore residents wasted little time cleaning up the hundreds of thousands of tons of debris and rebuilding their homes and businesses.
The Oklahoman, a daily newspaper, reported that in Moore the sounds of construction are ubiquitous.
"Moore residents say they wake up and often go to sleep with the bang of hammers and the whine of power tools," the newspaper reported Nov. 19.
The city issued 332 building permits for new, single-family homes in storm-damaged areas and an additional 418 permits for remodel work for homes that were damaged by the tornado, according to The Oklahoman. What's more, 11 businesses have secured permits to rebuild and six other companies have applied for permits to remodel, the newspaper reported.
"The residents of Moore are strong and proud, and they are working hard to make a comeback," Stratton said.

Latest Castings at WilliamHiggins.com
Stepan Radosta, from Prague, is a very good looking guy, and he has a very good body as well. He certainly looked great in this casting and made some good wood too.
Ondrej Gulaska is from Odolena Voda. He is a very handsome guy, who was smartly dressed when he arrived at casting, and when I caught a glimpse of him in the waiting room I was very impressed. Happily for us he looks just as good without his clothes.
Viktor Bartonik is a Prague resident who came into casting. Maybe he isn't the best of our recent castees, but he does have a certain look about him.

Expanding Your Development and Investment Perspective......Connect with Rock County
(Janesville, WI) By Neil Johnson, Gazette
When work at the terminal at the Southern Wisconsin Regional Airport is finished, it'll be a showpiece for anyone flying in and out of Rock County, airport director Ron Burdick said.
"When they come to the new terminal building, coming into the airport—it'll be like a new gateway to our community," Burdick said.
Right now, the planned "gateway," a four-year project at the airport, is about half finished. Exterior work on demolition and rebuilding of the west side of the terminal—phase 1 of the project—was completed earlier this year.
Now, crews from Burlington-based Scherer Construction are working on the addition of a new kitchen area on the east side of the terminal, adjacent to space that for years has housed restaurants at the airports.
Crews also are busy revamping the exterior of the terminal, adding energy efficient windows, a new façade and a new roof.
Burdick said the current phase of the project was slated to wrap up in late December, but work is running a few weeks behind schedule. Phase 2 is now has a completion date in mid- January. He said the delay stems from a lag in construction supplies, including finishing material for the terminal's new windows.
Burdick said phase 2 is on course to hit its $1.25 million budget.
The whole project, which will span 2014, is estimated to cost about $3.7 million. Rock County and the state are sharing costs for the terminal revamp. Burdick said the county's share of the whole project is about $900,000.
The terminal was built in the 1950s and is not energy-efficient or fully compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, Burdick said.
"We've had a plan to address those issues, and this work will meet all those requirements," including plans for new restrooms on the east and west sides of the terminal that will be fully handicap accessible, Burdick said.
About 57,000 flights a year go in and out of the airport at 4004 S. Oakhill Ave., Janesville.
Next year, the project will move forward with a pilot's lounge, administrative offices and a conference room on the new west side of the terminal.
On the east side, where the new kitchen is being built, crews will build out an interior shell for a new kitchen and the existing restaurant space.
That work hinges largely on state funding, which might not come through until July 2014, Burdick said.
The airport plans to leave finishing work in the restaurant and kitchen space for a potential tenant to handle.
"We'll have four walls and floor. We'll have everything stubbed out and they (a tenant) would be completing it at that point," Burdick said.
A later project, which is separate from the building work, includes upgrades to the terminal parking lot and landscaping. That work could cost the county about $100,000, Burdick said.

Panic On the Streets of London
I've arrived and to prove it I'm here! Here in London, England! Woo-hoo!
This is a brief stop before I go on to do talks in France, Poland, Germany, Finland, Holland, Ireland and Israel. Crazy, huh? But it's fun.
As a result of all this traveling, I haven't had much time to look at the nearly 300 comments posted on the last entry. But thank you for posting.
And before I go further, yet another Dimentia 13 record is now available as an MP3 download! So go get Mirror Mind! It's a trippy record, let me tell you! It features big hits like Twice The Speed Of Time, Roolz Is A Rule, and Psychedelic Mushroom Cloud Explosion! Plus Naked Truth, which is about J. Krishnamurti.
Anyway, I have noticed something funny every time I do a post about Big Mind™, which is that those posts always attract a number of anonymous comments whose purpose seems to be to move the discussion away from anything to do with Big Mind™. Not to get all conspiracy theorist on y'all, but I do know from past experience that some of the Big Mind™ crew take an interest in what I've been writing and have done this same sort of stuff openly on other sites where my comments have been re-posted. Elephant Journal, for example, where the head of the Big Mind™ organization got into some of this last year.
But whatever. But the latest thread started in this vein has to do with, "How dare Brad be so irresponsible as to give advice to sufferers of PTSD!!!" Some of the ensuing discussion has actually been interesting. But I do want to say that I'm unaware of having ever given any advice to sufferers of PTSD (that's post traumatic stress disorder, by the way, if you're not up on the latest American categorizations of life). One of these guys posted something I'd written on Suicide Girls that doesn't sound like advice to me.
In any case, whether I have or have not "given advice," I to tend to assume a certain degree of intelligence among my readership, and I will continue to do so. Dan Savage, who does give advice to all kinds of people, always says that his is an advice column and not binding arbitration, that his readers and listeners to his podcast are not obligated to take the advice he gives. Whoever reads or listens to him, he says, is responsible for themselves.
I completely agree. I assume that people who read my stuff know that I do not know them personally and that I am not omniscient and omnipotent. I don't present myself as having all the answers even for me, let alone for anyone else. I actually try not to say things that appear to be advice, but even if I do sometimes slip and give advice, I consider that whoever reads/hears that advice has to decide for themselves if it's useful or not. I further assume that a fair portion of my readership discards anything I might have to say as the ravings of a lunatic. Or as one guy in the comments said, someone not as "deep" as Genpo Roshi (I certainly hope I'm not!).
My own two Zen teachers were always very reluctant to advise anyone on anything. Even when I specifically asked them for advice, they'd almost never give me any. The best I could get from them was maybe something like, "Well, when I was in a similar situation here's what I did." That seems to me now to be a really good way of handling it. Though it was often frustrating when I really wanted guidance. But guidance is probably not what most of us really need. We need to learn to be our own guide.
In any case, carry on discussing. I'm gonna go see the record shops of Camden Town!

I'm writing regarding a Butler Eagle article about the Centre City Project. That project never should have been started.
The Butler Memorial Park swimming pool has been closed for years because of repair work that needs done. There lies fun lost for people of the city — not to mention the jobs lost there.
Why no money?
Just up the street from the city's offices is the county government, where officials get raises all the time. For what?
The county commissioners, who are paid too much, sit at their meetings and argue.
The Deshon woods have been cut down, creating an eyesore. The Alameda Park pool is in need of repairs.
Are we eventually going to close that pool too?
The Alameda woods have been hacked up. The road from the city to Alameda Park has been closed, because the county supposedly doesn't have enough money to repair it.
Rather than working to get the Centre City project under way, officials ought to fix things that need repaired and quit wasting taxpayers' money.
That would make the city shine.

Membership at Hegre.com costs

Fabi caught in a hurricane gale still manages to keep her cool and look, well, fabulous, chic and sexy in Gone With The Wind, an Oscar winner if ever there was one.
What Hegre is doing with a wind machine in his new Paris studio is anyone's guess, but it certainly stiffened Fabi's pert nipples and sent ripples of goose bumps over her satiny bronze skin. This is Fabi's first film with Hegre-Archives and we can't wait to see the follow up.
How about putting her in a hot bath next time, Mr Hegre!

Cortez scored well on a study that analyzes crime statistics in cities and counties across the nation.
The Homefacts study looked at three categories: total crime, violent crime and the property crime index.
Cortez received an A-minus grade for the total crime index, an A when it came to violent crimes and a B for property crimes.
A score of 100 is the national average and anything below this number means fewer crimes have been committed, leading to a better grade, while the opposite holds true for cities where scores are higher than 100.
The total crime index for Cortez was 37.92, while the study gave Cortez a score of 21.84 for violent crimes.
The property crime index number score for the city was 86.16.
According to the 2011 Homefacts statistics, there were zero murders and forcible rapes in Cortez.
However there was a manslaughter case that lead to a conviction in 2012 and an alleged murder occurred in early 2012. Dolores resident Dylan Kuhn pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his infant daughter and Luther Hampson is awaiting trial later this year on a murder charge.
Based on a population of 100,000 people when looking at the national averages, there were 23.2 percent of robberies compared to the national average of 113.7 for this crime and 69.5 vehicle thefts compared to the national average of 229.6 for this offense.
Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell said he was not surprised at the good scores for the community relating to the low crime rate.
Spruell said he has no idea how the scores were calculated or what methodology was used to come up with the grades and scores.
"It is a safe community because of the people we have here," Spruell said. "It's just a hometown feel of neighbors watching out for neighbors."
Spruell said while the scores reflect well on the community's crime rate, he expects to receive an A grade for every category.
According to statistics from the Cortez Police Department and the sheriff's office, there were a combined 248 instances of property damage in 2011.
The B grade for property damage instances from Homefacts is not a total surprise to the sheriff.
He said while the grade is above average, the property crime index grades are something that should be improved.
"The only thing I want to see are A's across the board," he said.
Still, Spruell said the clearance rate is well above the national average for one primary reason.
"I think it's the people and the people who watch out for everyone," he said, adding that being proactive in law enforcement likely played a role in the overall grade, too.

Quote of the Day.
Strive for progress, not perfection.
This has been mostly a fundamentally driven week for oil prices with the three monthly oil forecasts hitting the media airwaves over the last 24 hours along with the API data late yesterday afternoon, the EIA inventory report this morning and an OPEC meeting going on at the moment. OPEC is meeting in Vienna to elect a new Secretary General and to discuss their production strategy for next year. The market is expecting OPEC to roll over their existing 30 million barrel per day ceiling for now and address a production cut during the first half of 2013 if needed. With the global economy showing signs of stabilizing, OPEC may be more comfortable in taking a wait and see approach to changing production levels until the US fiscal cliff is in the background and more macroeconomic data is released in the first quarter.
Today the U.S. Federal Reserve FOMC meeting will conclude around noon with most market participants expecting the Fed to keep short term interest rates at near zero levels and mostly likely extend the QE3 mortgage buying program. If QE3 is extended it could give a level of support for oil prices as participants view quantitative easing as an inflationary policy and one that could easily result in pushing oil and most all commodity prices higher if in fact inflation starts to increase.
On the U.S. fiscal cliff negotiations there has been some movement over the last day or so as both sides talked yesterday with other discussions going on behind the scenes. Obama reduced his tax increase demand slightly. Both sides still remain pretty far apart but they are moving closer, which is a positive sign that a deal will likely be done. I have been indicating that a deal will get done possibly as early as before the Christmas holiday. Both sides seem to have now come to the realization that they are at the end point as to how much each side can achieve toward their view. As such they are starting to slowly move to the middle.

North Smyrna Elementary held their Title I Family Night Dec. 4 at the school for students and their families to come out and make some Christmas decorations and visit with Santa.
The night started out with dinner and dessert, followed by the Christmas activities. The students and their families went around the various stations to make Christmas crafts such as lollipop reindeer. Once they've completed each station, they got a stamp. At the end of the night, students who completed each station received a prize.
Santa was along for the event to visit and give gifts to students. Handouts with various kinds of information were also available for parents.
There was also a used book swap table; students could bring in a book and exchange it for a "new" book.

One of Milford's hometown boys, David Lovett, graduated from Cairn University last weekend. But unlike his fellow elementary education classmates, Lovett will soon be living a fast-paced New York City lifestyle as an artist manager with a large Manhattan-based representation firm. Here, he discusses his Milford roots, staying true to his faith and his advice for others dreaming of a similar life.
Former Milford High School student David Lovett has a lot to celebrate this holiday season. First, he hit a major milestone last weekend when he graduated from Cairn University with a degree in both elementary education and biblical studies. Then, after a brief Christmas vacation back home in Milford, Lovett will embark on a new adventure as an artist manager with Manhattan-based Working Group Management, a company that represents groups like All American Rejects and The Ready Set.
The new job is a big deal, putting Lovett in back rooms with established names and up-and-comers in the music world. Billboard Magazine even recognized the significance of Lovett's accomplishments by mentioning his new position in its Oct. 13 print edition.
This week, despite having a schedule that gets busier by the minute, Lovett took some time to talk about his roots in Milford, the importance of his education and what he hopes to do next.
Q So, when you left Delaware and went off to school in Philadelphia, you were studying elementary education. Your new job seems light years away from that. How did all this come about?
A Yeah but the music part is my foundation. I started working with music when my family moved to Delaware when I was 15 years old. I started a small company back then called Rocker Booking and I was booking national touring artists at some of the smallest places in town. I wasn't doing anything crazy but I started hosting shows with acts from Maryland and all these people came. Even when I went to Del Tech to start my degree in elementary education, I was still extremely passionate with what I was doing with music. Then, about three years ago when I was in the middle of my college career, I started another small company with a friend to start booking nationally touring groups. And, that was my source of income during college. It was kind of my balance in college. I would go to class and in between I would be pulling out my laptop and checking my phone and working on this stuff all the time. So, when other students were going to basketball games, I was driving to New York to go to recording sessions. The music stuff was always there.
Q Was it a hard transition or was there an advantage to growing up in central Delaware?
A Well, in some sense being in a location like that was a huge advantage. There was almost no competition and the things I was doing were successful because of that. Things didn't pop up everywhere. Unlike in Philadelphia, where I can go to a show or plan a show but there might also be 50 other shows that same night all over the city. So, growing up down there, I was able to try things out and see the success of it and get an understanding for how all this works and how it can grow and be successful.
Q But, your background also includes a strong sense of faith, too. So, much so that you had a dual focus in biblical studies in college. I would imagine that the values of that world don't always match up to the world of artist management. How do you reconcile the two?
A It's been very, very interesting. The music industry, from my experience, is not a very friendly, easy-going industry. It's competitive and self-seeking. I honestly believe, though, because of what I believe and my faith, that it doesn't have to be like that and I don't have to be like that. I've always tried to make my work less about me and more about the people I'm working with and for. I've been told that I'm unlike anyone else in the industry because I'm kind, honest and trustworthy. So, my bosses told me that they never see that and it's a big part of the reason that they liked me and hired me. So, I think my faith and my philosophy has actually help me. It's allowed me to build trust with a lot of people when trust is often hard to come by in this industry.
Q So, as you move forward in the industry, what else do you want to do?
A I want to continue to develop into the publishing world. Mostly because, this summer I had a great experience with one of my artists. We did a joint venture with ABC, ESPN and the Disney Music Group and spent the summer at Williamsport, PA for the Little League World Series. We were actually the artist that wrote the theme song for it and we were the band that everyone was watching play on the field. So, we got to do a ton of advertisements through ABC & ESPN. Then, we got to work with Disney Music Group and they put the single out on iTunes. And, I really want to take the network that I have through Working Group and develop into the publishing world. A lot of new people don't really understand publishing and how cool it can be to utilize it. I've also never travelled internationally so I hope to get to do that. And, I'd like to work with a diverse set of artists. A lot of who I work with comes from the pop world but I also have an interest in R&B.
Q The further you go, though, it seems like you might lose yourself or your roots. How will you stay grounded?
A First, let me say that even though it doesn't seem like it, I'm really not much of a city person. But, since my job requires me to drive into Manhattan often and will likely take me to places just as busy or busier, I keep my roots in the most basic and simple ways. I drive back to Milford a lot and see and spend time with my family. When we break for vacations, people always go off somewhere exotic. I'm always like, 'I'm going home. I just want to drive to Milford and see my family." Milford is a welcome escape for me.
Q Lastly, what advice do you have for Milford kids who dream of a life like yours?
A I feel like I've been climbing a ladder my whole life almost. This all started in Milford with the work I was doing and the interests I had there. Then, I relocated to Philadelphia and sort-of started all over. Then, it literally just transitioned right up to New York. It was a progression. But, I've always had this philosophy that it's not where you start out, it's where you end up. You might be somewhere that's not a nationally recognized city for what you're trying to do but you can progress up to a city like New York and be in the same office with someone like my boss, who's been doing this for longer than I've been born. So, it's all just about figuring out where you want to be moving towards that.

On March 30, Marcellus Outreach Butler sponsored a screening of the film "Triple Divide" by Joshua Pribanic and Melissa Troutman. This is a well-done film that investigates the impacts of fracking and drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale and the failures of the state and the gas companies to prevent real dangers.
At the beginning of the project, Josh and Melissa asked the question "How are the impacts of the Marcellus Shale drilling being handled by the state?" The film explores personal stories from different areas of the state and also delves into case files to tell the story of some of the consequences of this unconventional gas drilling. It also exposes the failure of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to protect the citizens and environment of Pennsylvania.
The title "Triple Divide" is pertinent as it refers to the headwaters where water flows to three different sides of the continent. One of the four triple divides in North America is in Potter County, where the water can end up in three different places: the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada via the Genesee River; the Chesapeake Bay via the Susquehanna River; or the Gulf of Mexico via the Allegheny, Ohio and Mississippi rivers. On its way, the water flows through some of the last great wilderness areas that include some of the best trout streams.
Marcellus Shale gas drilling is threatening— and possibly contaminating — these waterways.
For a donation, the film is available online at www.tripledividefilm.org.
I feel it is important for everyone to be fully informed about the rapid spread of this unconventional gas drilling. Unfortunately, the gas companies paint a rosy picture, which might not be the whole truth. It is important that everyone avails themselves of all the information available.

GetEdFunding is a curated collection of thousands of grants and awards that grows by the day, all selected through the prism of relevance to today's educational institutions. Although thousands of generous corporate contributors, foundations, and other organizations recognize the need to support education, not all of them are included in this resource. In an effort to save educators time and frustration, a minimum requirement of inclusion in the collection is the willingness to accept Letters of Inquiry and unsolicited applications.
GetEdFunding is current. It is built by tapping a wide range of print and electronic sources, web searches, organizations' web pages, communication with program administrators, and conversations with long-standing contacts. In the case of federal grants, which rely on congressional approval for continued funding, best efforts have been made to tie down agencies' sense of the likelihood of future funding. Programs pending congressional approval are included in this collection so that they may get on your radar as future possibilities
GetEdFunding is created by educational professionals, for educational professionals. It's designed to be an easy-to-use, relevant, and reliable database to which grant seekers will return again and again. Former and currently practicing preK–12 and higher education educators and experienced educational publishing writers/editors have touched every stage of this database development from conducting research and writing entries to fact-checking, aligning curriculum, copyediting, data entry, and beta testing.

Yann Tiersen's New Album 'Dust Lane' Premieres At IFC.com
From href="http://www.ifc.com/news/2010/10/album-premiere-yann-tiersens-d.php?utm_source=twitter">IFC.com>:
From the tiny isle of Ouessant off the coast of West Britanny comes Dust Lane, the 6th studio album from the wildly multi-talented Yann Tiersen. You won't find too much sonic similarity between his accordion driven soundtrack for "Amelie" and this dark rock record -- his first in English -- though it is no less gorgeous or indeed, cinematic. Here, the classically trained musician explores loss (of both a friend and his mother during recording) with vintage analog synthesizers, electric guitars, mellotron, and piano.
Listen to the entire album right now at href="http://www.ifc.com/news/2010/10/album-premiere-yann-tiersens-d.php?utm_source=twitter">IFC.com>! Dust Lane in stores October 12th.

I love Coupling (it's a british TV show for those of you who are unaware of what quality television is), it's a great show. I especially love Jeff (Oh, Jeffrey) he is definitely the best character, and I was very sad when he left the show in season 4. But wait, why am I telling you this? What does this have to do with xkcd?
Ask and ye shall receiveth
After watching this clip, you will notice that the joke is basically the same as in the xkcd (some of you might argue that it's not because this is about a kiss, and not an introduction, but that's a bullshit argument. The essence of the joke is the same)
Now, it's a reasonable assumption that Randall did not find coupling yesterday and decide to rip off one of the jokes, but that's not my point. If you watch that clip, you will notice that the joke is being presented much better in Coupling (later in the episode the girl, Julia, basically has the same fantasy but let's just disregard that).
Okay, structure. Both the comic and the clip start similar enough. We have an imagined scene, but are not aware that it is not in fact real. The scene shortly derails into the guy being severely punished by the girl and innocent bystanders. Then reality is shown. Pretty much the same, so let's ask ourselves "Why is the xkcd nowhere near as funny as the episode?"
Well, for one, stylistic problems. Text and stick figures is not equal to people talking. Not much that can be done about that (except maybe facial expressions, but you know xkcd...). Another problem is just that the idea of him imagining an extremely exaggerated negative reaction in itself is not that funny and has been done many times, what's funny to me is what Coupling makes out of it ("I only use my tongue for stamps and emergencies"), to Randy's credit, he does try to do this with the whole "Let's get his picture for facebook to warn others" thing, but it's just not doing it for me. The irony of her being actually interested and the dude missing his chance isn't really that funny (this is the case in coupling as well, as I've mentioned before, except that in coupling the girl also thinks it will have extreme negative consequences, which is in my point, a preferred alternative). I guess it's kind of a
"Dear blog, Cute boy on train still ignoring me" doesn't sound like a blog entry at all, now that I think about it. It sounds like a tweet, but what kind of creepy person makes an entire blog entry dedicated to some random guy ignoring you on the train? Who actually says "Dear blog"? I guess that was just Randall trying to get the point accross that she is writing this to the internets. Also, "What.". What?
I really think this idea has potential, but you can't pass off the fact that she is interested in him and he thinks she's not and horrible things will happen if he talks to her off as the joke. That's not all that uncommon, and the exaggeration in itself does not make it funny.
Another problem with this is that it's yet another troubled romance comic. Let's see what I wrote about this trope in the xkcdsucks book
"This is a common one that has also been going on since the beginning of xkcd. The basic premise is this: A couple is pictured, interacting in some way. The punchline is that they have problems. It's funny because it's a universal truth."
Yep, pretty much. I guess the joke is that they are not interacting here, but you can not not communicate, so it remains valid.
Talking about the book; for those of you who haven't seen it, you can view the final version here:
Now, this book did not make it to randall in real life (unfortunately), but I did give it to him in IRC, and we talked about xkcd some more so overall I'm pretty happy with the resolution of the whole book-story.
I don't know if he read the book, but I did talk with him about a lot of the problems xkcd has. Once he stops being so busy I will remind him of the book, but if he reads it is out of our control.
But back to the comic (sort of);
Z-z-z-something from the forums (one bajillion points to whoever catches that reference):
This is what I am going through at this exact moment. My first "get out of my head, Randall!" moment. Hooray!
Listen, StrengthInFaith, this is not something special to be happy about. "I use forks to eat my food" "Get ouf of my _head_, P#1"
I've been told many times that women think this way (often by xkcd itself). But I'm still not sure it's not wishful thinking.
Think what way? You mean that they are physically attracted to some men? I would hope so. Or is he referring to the comic as a whole?
Well either way, Comic JK, it is not a good idea to turn to xkcd for dating advice. Unless you want your Quirky relationship to end in despair.
This may be the best xkcd I've ever seen. Oh, how true it is. In fact, it may even top #513.
Well okay. I am too bored to dig deeper into the thread. One more thing I noticed was that it's the thread makers (winning thread creation rights by seconds) birthday! Happy birthday! Good way to spend it!

Leavenworth, Lansing snag medals at Pioneers' annual wrestling tournament
Back and forth, Danny Wilson paced.
It was midday Saturday and the Pioneer wrestler followed an unseen line on the hardwood gymnasium floor. Swimming around him were fellow competitors at the annual Leavenworth Challenger, but Wilson focused on nothing else outside of a few feet in front of his steps.
He had entered a zone, his zone, and by the end of the day that intense concentration paid off.
With a perfect 3-0 record, Wilson claimed one of four first place medals the Pioneers racked up at its annual wrestling tournament over the weekend.
"I'm really proud of Danny," Leavenworth coach Jay Johnston said. "He seems really determined this year after battling injury last year. He beat 2012 state placer Tristan Star, whom he had never beaten, to win the tournament. It's the best I have ever seen him wrestle."
Lansing also participated in the tourney and had two claim top spots in their weight classes — both Spencer Walling and Caleb Ward went 5-0 to win first in the 120 pound and 182 pound B divisions respectively.
"We were real excited for them," Lansing coach Ron Averill said. "Spencer is a senior and it's good for him to have success at the first part of the season. Caleb has put in a lot of time ever since the end of last season so it's nice to see him reap the rewards from that hard work early."
Besides Wilson's 113 A division gold, other first-place medalists for Leavenworth included Kelsey Mason (145 B), Kenneth Sculley (195 B) and Nathan Butler (285 A). All three finished 5-0.
"After a disappointing season last year, Kelsey had a great start to his season," Johnston said. "Ken was extremely impressive in that he kept getting better as the day went on. Nate is the only other Pioneer besides Shawn Bunch to win three Challenger tournament titles, which is an impressive feat."
Other Leavenworth results were:
Tilden Edwards went 3-2, third at 160 A
Jesse Colver went 3-2, third at 220 A
Michael Harrington went 3-1, third at 132 B
Danial Wilson went 1-4, fifth at 138 A
Peter Gardner went 1-4, fifth at 170 A
Jason Rydalch went 1-4, fifth at 126 B
Hannah Overbey went 1-3, seventh at 120 B
Behind Lansing's pair of medalists, two Lions collected second place titles. At 132 pounds, Elijah Hill was second in the B division after a 4-1 record while Will Gering went 3-1 to get runner-up honors in the 138 B division.
"It was exciting to see them jump head first into the competition," Averill said. "What I really liked is that we worked on a few things between matches and they adjusted very well to the instruction so that will bode well for the future."
Other Lansing results were:
Jordan Girard went 3-2, third at 113 B
Treyvon Taylor went 2-3, third at 195 B
Sky Summers went 1-3, fourth at 120 A
Cole Hoing went 2-3, fourth at 126 A
Zach Caraccilo went 1-4, fifth at 145 B
Welsey Pippin went 1-4, fifth at 170 B
Justin Smith went 0-5, sixth at 152 B
Kyle Hallinan went 0-5, sixth at 160 B
The Pioneers will host Lawrence Free State at 6:30 p.m. tonight while the Lions will next compete in the Eudora Tournament, which starts Friday afternoon.
