Three former Penn State administrators accused of covering up complaints about Jerry Sandusky lost a set of rulings Tuesday, allowing their criminal cases to move forward.
Judge Barry Feudale denied an attempt to throw out the grand jury report backing up the accusations and ruled against two other defense requests. As the judge who oversaw the grand jury, Feudale said he no longer has jurisdiction.
Feudale said he would not have granted the defendants' request that the charges be thrown out and emphasized that the case was out of his hands once the grand jury issued its report. But the judge did provide an analysis of the defense arguments that, he said, let him to conclude their motions lacked merit.
Defendants Gary Schultz, Tim Curley and Graham Spanier are charged with perjury, obstruction, endangering the welfare of children, failure to properly report suspected abuse and conspiracy.
The three had sought to exclude the testimony of Penn State's former general counsel Cynthia Baldwin, based on her actions as she accompanied the men to grand jury appearances in Harrisburg in early 2011. The defendants argued that Baldwin's actions violated their right to legal counsel, but Feudale said it "strains credulity to infer that they were somehow deluded or misrepresented by attorney Baldwin."
"In hindsight, perhaps I erred in not asking follow up questions about the role of corporate counsel Baldwin," Feudale wrote. "I regret and perhaps committed error in not asking any follow-up questions, but while I am unaware what the response would have been, I fail to discern how such would persuade me at this stage why presentments should be dismissed."
The attorney general's office and a spokeswoman for Curley's legal team offered no immediate comment. Lawyers for Spanier and Schultz did not immediately return phone messages.
Sandusky, a retired Penn State assistant football coach, was convicted in June of 45 sexual abuse counts. Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence, but maintains his innocence and is pursuing appeals.
Curley is on paid leave to finish out the final year of his contract as the school's athletic director. Schultz has retired as the university's vice president for business and finance. Spanier was forced out as university president the week after the other two and Sandusky were charged, but he remains a tenured faculty member.
The grand jury's report described in detail the behind-the-scenes conversations and decisions being made in late 2010 and in 2011 among the men, as Baldwin met with them after they were subpoenaed as part of the Sandusky investigation.
"Each personally and directly assured her that they knew of no information or documents involving alleged misconduct or inappropriate conduct by Jerry Sandusky," the grand jury wrote.
Baldwin testified to the grand jury that Spanier "specifically requested that she keep him informed of everything regarding (the Sandusky) investigation," the jury wrote.
In November, Curley and Schultz joined together to file one motion to prevent Baldwin from taking the stand against them.
The motion said Baldwin had violated attorney-client privilege by disclosing what they told her about the Sandusky matter, and that lawyers may not testify against their clients. Spanier filed a similar motion and made a similar argument.
Feudale said his review of Baldwin's testimony led him to conclude it was "circumspect and circumscribed. It was not a violation of the lawyer-client privilege, but rather was related to her belated awareness of the commission of alleged criminal acts and was in accordance with her responsibilities as an officer of the court."
Baldwin, who spent two years on the state Supreme Court, appointed by then-Gov. Ed Rendell, is also a former chair of the Penn State Board of Trustees. The university replaced her as general counsel last year.

UI President White Says He'll Move to Implement Admissions Report
University of Illinois President Joseph White says university officials will be meeting in Urbana next Wednesday, to decide how best to implement the recommendations of a state panel that investigated the school's admissions process.
In a news conference Thursday , White said he embraced the report's recommendations, and wanted to use next week's conference set the path for making the University of Illinois "the national leader in quality admissions process".
"I think that's the opportunity that has been literally handed to us by this painful chapter," says White. "Things went wrong in our admissions process. It is an opportunity for us, first, to fix the problems and then to set the standard with news."
White responded to a report that found unqualified students were admitted to the U of I because of political connections. Those students were followed by use of a shadow tracking system called Category I. White says the use of Category I is ended immediately.

Surprise, I am back. Kind of.
The changes at Flickr have lit a fire and I need to try and get the images used in this Blog organized so they aren't deleted in the great photo purge of 2019. Ideally, the changes won't be noticeable here at DIYSara.com at all. (However, I am plotting and planning for some updates around these dusty halls.)
This post is to just let yall know that I am going to attempt to return to the blogging world. Also, I am updating my Zazzle store. I have a couple of new postcards and a new magnet up. I hope you like them.
Click HERE to go to my store :)
Take care and be well.
I love it. The cap posts and still allows lead advancement.
No eraser isn't a big deal to me as I tend to carry a click or block eraser.
Super quick n dirty pen review of the Promarx Sketchy pens. BIC stick pen used for size comparison. So far I like them. ^_^
There is no apparent skipping. I have experienced some ink blabbing but I did just open the pack and remove the tip seals today. I've noticed some pens take a day to adjust to the working life. For ballpoint pens, the colors are nice. For the $1.99 price tag, I am a happy pen addict.
Back in June of 2011, I had typed up a post about journaling for Pentel's blog. It was posted on Pentel's old blog and can be found HERE.
I think it is a relevant topic and since I've found myself in a journaling rut, I'm reposting it here with hopes of reigniting my journal spark. Enjoy and be well.
Keeping a journal can be a very rewarding experience. Many people get hung up on expectations and perceived boundaries. They feel a journal should be a specific type of thing, containing mandatory elements. With such limitations, a journal often sits abandoned on a shelf and collects dust rather than achieves its full potential by becoming an extension of its owner.
Don't feel restricted by materials. If you feel like gathering random bits of junk mail, punching holes and adding a binder ring, go for it. For some, a five-year leather bound expensive journal and a fancy fountain pen is the answer. For others, a fifty-cent special composition notebook from the back-to-school sale is perfect. Digital journals are also a possibility. Don't feel you have to live up to anyone else's standards. Journaling is individual and should match your needs and personality. Since there are no rules for your journal, you can do whatever feels right. Change things up and play around. Heck if you want four journals going at one time, by all means give yourself permission. Dating pages might be helpful but it isn't mandatory, nothing is. Toss every rule and regulation out the window. By ridding yourself of all preconceived restrictions, you will be able to get to the heart of what journaling is truly about – YOU.
Colorful pens, crayons, markers, paints, etc. can be great tools to help you loosen up and let go of your inhibitions. The content of your journal can be as unique as your imagination. Glue in bits of ephemera from your days, document your life hour-by-hour, record dreams, keep lists, draw doodles, and scribble song lyrics. A journal can help you vent frustrations, work out problems, make difficult decisions, expand on new ideas, refocus your energy, keep track of events and act as a stand in for your best friend. It can contain any combination of writing, drawing, scribbling, or coloring. The important thing is to give yourself an outlet.
"But I can't draw." Tie this excuse up, cover its loud mouth with tape and send it to sleep with the fishes. Don't pressure yourself with hopes of a final masterpiece. The process is key. Draw basic shapes or stick people and enjoy yourself. Doodle a border of daisies around your page, color them and have some fun. Journals don't pass judgment. If you don't feel comfortable creating your own designs, print out coloring pages. Grab your crayons, markers, highlighters or colored pens and then glue the results in your journal. Some days you may just want to collect bits of inspiration by pasting pieces of magazines or catalogs in your journal. Remember, anything goes.
I am no stranger to struggling with keeping a journal. I found writing every day wasn't a good fit. By allowing myself to explore possibilities outside the "Dear Diary" realm, I'm now more eager to journal. I'm open to experimentation and have tried a lot of different approaches. I've collected bits of my day and glued them on a page. I didn't write one word but the mementos act as a reminder of that day. I've depicted an entire day with doodles. Some days my journal entry only includes words, filling multiple pages. Other days lack a single complete sentence. I find stream of consciousness writing helpful when "writer's block" strikes and doodling patterns is helpful if I can't think of anything to draw. Some pages inspire me to share them online or with friends but I've also created pages that will never see the light of day again.
I feel that the sky is the limit since I've left all the rules behind. Sure, some pages might fit better in a sketchbook or planner but they are all important parts of my journal. There is a great deal to gain; I hope this inspires you to adventure into the world of journaling.
Very few things in life seem to go as planned.
My surgery in October went well but there were some complications discovered. I'm lacking cartilage and my ankle has healed in a bone-on-bone configuration. That explains the excruciating pain and inability to gain a lot of stamina. Physical therapy and time has helped me get moving again and come to terms with the fact I will never be the way I was pre-collision again. I pretty much take it a day at a time and try not to get frustrated with my limitations.
I had planned to return to blogging to celebrate Finnegan McFluffy's first birthday which is estimated to be on March 23rd. Unfortunately, things again did not go as planned.
Wednesday, March 19th, we took Finnegan McFluffy to the vet. He was looking bloated and his activity level and playfulness had decreased in the last week. Needless to say, I was concerned. Unfortunately my ginger kitten has Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP). The vet estimated just 2 months.
I adore this kitten. He is a dream come true. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around this all. Please keep him in your thoughts.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 40,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 15 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
Click here to see the complete report.
It hasn't even been a week since surgery. I think I'm being too harsh with myself. I didn't expect any unforeseen issues with my cartilage and neither did my awesome doctor. I need to step back, relax and let myself heal. Life is full of the unexpected. I know this well. Life should be full if kindness and understanding. I'll try to refocus and breathe slowly. No point in berating myself when I'm already knee deep in the unexpected. Right?

After the battle against the Ceremony Master Kurosawa (and for the final battle against Kusabi), you may be tired and do not want to use any Healing Herbals or Holy Water in the long underground passage. You must not fight the enemies there. You can walk until an enemy appears then run back to spiral corridor. Then, go back to underground passage. The enemy should have disappeared. Continue ahead, and if an enemy appears, repeat the process. In this underground corridor, there is a place with an "S" shape. If you meet enemies after this place, go back to the "S" passage until the enemy disappears. You will finally arrive at a place where the enemy appears at your back. Do not look back. Just run to the ceremony place to fight the Kusabi. Note: There is one mirror stone in the underground passage.Defeating Twins Spirit
When one of them raises her hand after the red circle fast, do not attack her or you will be attacked by her sister behind you, If she raised her hand after the red circle slowly, this is the real spirit and you will not lose film on the twin's doll, if you know which is the real one. Also, notice that the Twin's spirit has red lips and the doll does not. This will make it easier to learn which is the real one.Screen saver
Keep the game unpaused, and out of the menu/map screen. Allow Mio to remain idle for exactly five minutes. A ghostly image of a woman's face will fade onto a random point on the screen (looking at you) for a moment before disappearing. Then, the screen will get blurry for a moment and the woman's face will fade back in on another location on the screen. This will keep repeating until you use the controller again.

So, the tennis gods have to let Andy Murray win on Sunday, right?
Murray defeated Novak Djokovic in two high-energy sets today, and now we get this deliriously awesome men's Final for Sunday. Murray v. Federer, again, on the same court the two played on a month ago for the Wimbledon final.
Murray finished that one in tears. This time? Uh, he was pretty into it, and so was the crowd:
And Federer? He's been talking about winning Sunday's match for seven years. I guess we'll all be waking up early on Sunday!
Oh, ha, and the women's final is Serena Williams v. Maria Sharapova. Tennis at the Olympics does indeed matter now.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Becoming a university means more than a new name, revamped logo and enhanced prestige. For the Dixie State University, it also means divergent voices on campus, including a former newspaper sex columnist and a would-be sorority sister.
Indigo Klabanoff is a Boston transplant and a 22-year-old communication major who decided she wanted to start a sorority last November.
"I've always liked the idea. ... You learn wonderful things about how to network, leadership skills and getting out into the community," she said. And though she changed her goal from a nationally chartered chapter to a school club, she has refused to remove Greek letters from its name.
School officials are "hoping that I will go away," she said, "but I won't."
In her corner is a national campus free-speech organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, which has formally protested a student Club Council decision to disallow clubs with Greek letters.
"There is simply no authority by which Dixie State can constitutionally refuse to recognize an organization simply because of the group's use of the Greek alphabet (or any other alphabet) in its name," wrote Peter Bonilla, director of the Individual Rights Defense Program.
Image anxiety • For Dixie State President Stephen Nadauld, though, the introduction of Greek life onto the St. George campus would damage the school's reputation by implying that students like to overindulge.
"Dixie has been working for nearly two decades to change the 'party' image that was mistakenly attached to our campus," he wrote in an email to Dean of Students Del Beatty.
Beatty said the council decided only honors clubs could use Greek letters because "this is not something we want to fight right now. It's not worth the fight. We have bigger things to do right now."
Klabanoff could likely have the club she proposed, he said, if she would simply use another name.
"Do you really care about sisterhood and philanthropy ... or are you making some kind of political statement about the lack of Greek life at Dixie State?" he asked. "Because that's what it's starting to feel like to me."
For now, Klabanoff said she and about 17 other girls are already meeting informally. "We are moving forward," she said. "Although we are not an approved club, we hope to get recognized."
Pushing boundaries • Klabanoff is not the only student making herself heard on campus.
"With every semester I see certain students just kind of punching at those boundaries that were always there before," said Matthew Jacobson, editor of the Dixie Sun News.
Last year, students, professors and activists pushed to remove the word Dixie, with its Deep South associations, from the school's name when it became a university, though ultimately the majority supported keeping the name.
The makeup of the student body is also changing. The number of students from California, Arizona and Nevada jumped by up to 8 percent this year, according to enrollment officials, as recruiters looked for out-of-staters to replace students leaving on Mormon missions after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints lowered the age limits for such service a year ago.
"With more students, you're going to get more diversity and different opinions," said Katie McKellar, a 20-year-old student from Sandy. "I think it just shows the growth in the school, how students are trying to push the school to grow in its own ways."
Last semester, McKellar became one of those minority voices when she started writing the student paper's first sex column.
Sex is "a big part of college life," she said. " ... I thought it would be interesting to start a column."
Erasing the erotic • When the first Erotic Topic hit newsstands in January, then-dean of the School of Business and Communication William Christensen sent an email demanding the paper stop publishing it.
But the dean quickly reconsidered and reversed course "to preserve the rights of free speech and freedom of expression for all students," said Dixie State spokesman Steve Johnson.
McKellar continued writing the column every other week throughout the semester, tackling sex and nutrition, alternative contraception and pornography as part of a healthy sex life. She said several people thanked her in person for taking on sensitive issues, but the column wasn't universally popular.
When a student collected more than 120 signatures on a petition to end it, the newspaper put the question to a vote on Facebook.
More than 1,000 people responded, and hundreds left comments. Ultimately, 57 percent said the paper should stop publishing it. Though Jacobson said he would have kept the column despite the results, McKellar decided to stop writing it.
"Maybe I was a little more optimistic that people wouldn't be so critical," she said. "Because I got a lot of support, it just felt like I wanted to keep it going, [but] with so many critics it got really stressful."
As Dixie grows into its new role and shifting demographics, these likely won't be the last heated conversations.
"We expected this to happen once we became a university," Johnson said. "One of the great things about a university is that it brings together a blending of cultures and opinions. We're learning as we go along."

While we have discussed the strategic implications of tomorrow's critical Italian elections previously (An Italian "Hung Parliament" – Europe's Biggest Political Risk), the actual chronology of events of tomorrow's Italian elections which proceed through Monday is somewhat nebulous. So courtesy of JPM's Alex White, here is the complete 10 step walk-thru of what to expect starting tomorrow, and ending, perhaps, with the appointment of a new President in May, unless of course there is a slight detour…The following is an indicative outline of how events may unfold in Italy over the coming days. Some significant differences and delays are possible.
- Sunday/Monday: Electors (age 18+ for the Chamber, age 25+ for the Senate) are able to cast their vote from 8.00am to 10.00pm on Sunday, or from 7.00am to 3.00pm on Monday.
- Sunday/Monday: The turnout will be counted and should be published three times on Sunday (at 12 noon, 7.00pm and 10.00pm) and once on Monday when polls close (3.00pm). Some commentators may make rough projections on Sunday based on turnout, which might provide some clues as to the direction of polls (a low turnout may hurt Berlusconi for example)
- Monday Afternoon: Vote counting will begin as soon as polls close at 3:00 p.m. (2.00pm London, 9.00am NY) on Monday in the following order: Senate, Chamber, regional positions (in Lombardia, Lazio, Molise). Broadcasters will be making predictions through the afternoon. We should get some (likely inaccurate) polls after the close.
- Monday Evening: Some initial estimates are expected for the first time around 4.30pm Monday for the Senate, 6.30pm for the Chamber (local time) – possibly slightly later.
- Monday Evening: For the Senate, interim updates may be released every 30 minutes until 50% of the count is completed. When 50% of the count is completed a first estimate of the distribution of seats should be announced (likely around 6.30-7.00pm or later).
- Monday Evening: For the Chamber, the first estimates may appear at 6.30pm, with updates every half hour until 50% of the count is completed and an initial estimate given (likely after 7.30-8.00pm or later)
- Monday/Tuesday: We expect to have a good indication of the Senate and Chamber numbers late on Monday night (possibly by around 11.00pm). Formal results for the Chamber may not come through until first thing on Tuesday morning (with the regional positions being announced on Tuesday late afternoon). In the previous election, both sets of counts were 90% complete by 11.00pm on election night.
- Tuesday: Early (informal) discussion on possible Government formation may begin on Tuesday (formal talks will wait until the President gives a mandate). The process of Government formation may take some weeks, but it should be clear on Tuesday whether Bersani-Monti have enough seats between them to build a coalition.
- March: Election of the presidents of the Chamber and Senate usually happens within 2-3 weeks and the Prime Minister should be in place by end of March at the latest. There will be lots of noise over this period; but the result should not be in doubt if the parties have the numbers they need (uncertainty would obviously dominate in the case of a hung parliament).
- May: A new President of the Republic will be appointed to replace President Napolitano in May.

Elegant Graphic Design of Theory11 Playing Cards
I've never written a post with such trembling hands as I am for Theory11's playing cards – the design and print work is so gorgeous, and has such a classic mark of fine craftsmanship brought back in a modern way that one can't help but buy a few decks (which are very reasonably priced by the way). The boxes are intricately designed and manufactured with a rich level of texture and detail, not only from the graphic design side, but also with accents of debossing and gold foil, like on the Monarch set. For less than six bucks you can pick up one of these beautiful decks, such as the Steampunk, the JAQK, or the classic reissue of the Bee Titanium Edition. Literally a perfect belated Christmas present for the graphic designer you know.

This is an awesome new resource I found on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Guide-Keeping-Track-Everything-ebook/dp/B00CDZPLVI
I loved some of the tips, especially taking "notes" with pictures on my phone.

My PDA is my on the go keep me on track, 'bing' remind me to do , gadget. My husband & I run a business together - we have a white board calendar at the shop and everything is color coded. I update his pocket calendar once a week and my son , 7, knows what color on the calendar is his and knows that everything goes on the calendar. I use my Outlook calendar on my laptop for everything from business, personal & community. I email whenever possible and set reminders on my computer - it's on everyday anyways - it is a tool and I use it as such. I am considering switching to a iPhone or Blackberry but realistically I am technology challenged!

I keep a calendar on hand. Whenever I did or need to do something, I write it down immediately.

I put EVERYTHING on my Entourage calendar and then my blackberry will tell me where I need to be when. I also have made dozens of copies of the same typed up list that I have to physically check off every day before I leave the house - if I don't go through the list, I forget something every time.

My calendar is color-coded. My things are green, Husband's are red, and my son's are black. Daughter? We keep up with her somehow.
Grocery shopping? The Boys do that. I know, I'm lucky as can be. You can't have them.

I have a magnetic, monthly whiteboard calendar on my fridge and we keep track of everything that's going on, right down to which recycling day is which. It's a great way for me to see at a glance what's going during the month.

I have a bulletin board where I tack up to do lists and priority lists. I find that it helps to set out priorities and have them where I can see them easily (by my desk) so that I´m constantly reminded of what I ought to be doing.

I use Outlook on my work computer and keep a family calendar at home with everyone's activities separated so we know exactly who has what and when. I keep track of as much as I can online since I can check that from both work and home.

I keep a running grocery list on the side of the refrigerator.
I pay most of my bills online.
I try to do a little housework every night.
When I make big meals, I freeze some for later.
I keep a portable calender in my purse for appointments and such.
I utilize my Outlook calender at work to remind me of appointments.

I have to use my computer, my planners, my work and home calender. My husband and well I rely on all the reminder phone calls. Even with all of that I STILL have to call and cancel or reschedule or apologize for missing my appointments. Oh how simple life was before baby..but I would not trade it for the world!!!

A shopping list (My spouse and I both use) , a National Geographic Calender (communicate my schedule to him), Post Its all over my computer monitor (to keep track of my start-up's different departments), online banking, online bill pay, online bulk purchases ....
Hand Made cards for me to post communications to my husband. Each premade card list only one important priority that I post on the wall next to his chair e.g. "Send Invoices" "check bank Account" "order another case of diapers", "Order another case of baby food (variety pack)". I tried a few other ways of communicating but they didn't work...and he likes this one. because it is more like a pop up reminder than a nag. Each card also says do not remove until completed. I am surprised at how much he likes this system.
We also have a shelving (with labels) system in the second bdrm where we store all our bulk purchases. This helps us stay organize because we can see how low we are on any one product, est. the amount of time left before next purchase, keep our accounts in order because they are big purchases, and it is one less trip to the store.

There are a few things that are indispensable - online banking and my iPhone. I keep a calendar for my worklife and my homelife, and try to keep schedules simple - limit to only one or two evening activities per week. I also rely on a housecleaning service every other week. I have to be disciplined in keeping the house neat so that I don't have to "clean for the cleaners" and less really is more.

Rays Postseason Rally in St. Petersburg
If you missed the Tampa Bay Rays Rally at Straub Park in St. Petersburg on Monday, you missed a party 10 years in the making. Not that we have a habit in this area of saving our parties for special occasions, but this day was for celebrating baseball in general. I got there about 1 P.M. to meet with a few on the Maddon's Maniacs and participate in a short promotion video that will grace the Jumbotron this week during the two ALDS games at the Trop.
It is a short little diddy around our lovable mascot Rayomnd and the "Feel The Heat" theme song that is a huge success for the Rays. It was not a long shoot, and it was a bit corny for my tastes, but you never know what the video genies will do with a small piece of film. We shall see on Thursday.
After getting that video situation out of the way, I scoped out my stage right standing position right next to the lous speakers that would be blaring music by the 80's group Survivior in a few hoiurs. It was about 2:30-ish and I had a bit of time before the activities were to start. Florida Sports Network and Sunshine Network were setting up to broadcast the event and provide some commentary and extra footage from the Rays Television trio of Dewayne Staats, Joe Mcgrane and Todd Kalas.
As 5 P.M. got closer, Rusty, the Rays usual Tropicana Field game M.C. got us all excited and reminded us that the Chicago White Sox vs. Detroit Tigers game was still in a rain delay. This is important to us Rays fans so we can decide who to email and hassle before Thursday's game. At 5 P.M., Rusty came out and started the event off by letting us know that national figures had sent a few videos kudos to the team.
We had the usual ESPN people and members of the TBS broadcasting teams shot during the All-Star game, but there were a few unusal greetings also sent to the Rays. Rob Schneider, of "You can do it" fame sent a bizzare, but really thought out diddy that even included his dog pimping out for the Rays. Kevin Costner unvealed his new song, "It's All Up To You" written for the Rays as a show of respect from Costner and his band, Modern West. The video was a montage of the visit by Costner and the band last November to help promote the new uniforms, and included some batting pratice pieces from Progress Energy Field.
Orlando, a popular DJ from 98.7 radio station in town also brought his new song for the Rays to be unveiled today during the Rally. The song was titled, "The Trop. Boys", and it had a grat beat and was a cool sounding song. I know we will be seeing more of that song here in the playoffs at the Trop.
After that, it was onto the introduction of the players. I am going to post an additional blog with the picture on it to save some space here today. The Television guys, Staats, Mcgrane and Kalas all started the program off with a video recalling the highs of this magical season for the team. the video played up the Boston, Chicago and Angels series sweeps, and showed the walk-off wins for the team in 2008.
After that, Todd Kalas came out and got into the player and coaches introductions of our 2008 Rays team. The most applause of course went to skipper Joe Maddon and Don Zimmer today. After the coaches took their place on the stage, the players were intorduced one by one, with Akinora Iwamura getting the "Aki" chant from the crowd. the guys were all sporting their Rays white uniforms, and it made a great background for the hundreds of cameras snapping their every move. After getting through all but one of the players introductions, Kalas introduced B J Upton, who I still believe is the most unsung hero of this season.
After that, Kalas introduced a few people I know well, but Tampa Bay should get to know. Bullpen Catcher, Scott "The Enforcer" Cursi is one of the most tireless workers I have ever met, and is a great guy to boot. Chris "Chico" Fernandez does a great job getting game and scouting video for the team. And last, but not least is the Rays clubhouse manager Chris "Westy" Westmoreland. I have heard fron a number of people that he runs the best clubhouse system in the major leagues. Kudos to him for that.
After these last 3 important introductions, Kalas turned the mic over to the skipper, Joe Maddon to talk a bit to the crowd. Madden as usual, was uplifting and totally believeable and the crowd showed its energy by clapping and cheering for the boss. After he was done speaking, the mic was turned over to the team's charismatic Carlos Pena who pumped up the crowd more by urging them to come out and make the Trop deafening with their noise and enthusiasm on Thursday and beyond in the playoffs.
After the players left the stage, Rusty called up a few local icons who have been true Rays fanatics for years. The first was current WWE Champion John Cena, who confessed he used to live in Boston, but has converted into a true Rays believer now. Cena also provided one of the best moments of the Rally when he informed the crowd he had heard from Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield and first baseman Sean Casey that the Rays had no heart.
Well, Cena decided to call Sean Casey on his cellphone, but Casey was probably either at the Red Sox Rally held that day before the hit the airport for California, or he was not going to take the call because he knew he would hear a load of crowd noise in the background. Cena made sure Casey had an interesting voicemail and proclaimed that the Rays did have spirit and heart and you heard the entire crowd roar towards the stage to voice their opinion on Casey's comments.
Right before Cena was going to leave the stage, he called up the Rays appointed 10th man, Brian "Nasty Boy" Knobs to the stage for some comments. Knobs came onto the stage in his usual manner blowing smoke and fire from his nostrils and pumping the crowd into a frenzy. Of course, Knobs could not leave the stage before getting the entire crowd to chant, "Let's Go Rays."
After that, the show was winding down and Rusty intoduced the band, Survivior who put on an amazing concert for about 2 hours. During this time I got to go sit in the VIP section in front of the stage courtesy of Trisha Johnson of the Rays and snapped a few hundred pictures. I am thinking I might include a few of them on the blog. The band did an amazing show and ended it with "Eye of the Tiger" to push the crowd into a frenzied climax to the event.
At this time we still did not know who was going to be our opponent for Thursday, but the White Sox were up 1-0 at the time. As I was walking to my car in the Pier parking lot, it hit me that this might not the only Rally this year for the Rays. That we have a possibility of 2 more Rallies and a few hundred chances of cheering for the team between now and a possible World Series game. I am not going to jinx or put a hoax on anything, but 10 years ago, that was not even in my mindset for this squad. Wow, how times flies when you are having fun!!!
It must be a true rush to be on stage and singing……….that is something I wish I had done in my younger life….totally, totally into music

Failure like the Romney campaign's on Tuesday is always overdetermined, as is success like the Obama campaign's. One apparent failure that must be taken into the reckoning is that of Project ORCA, heralded in one of the email blasts of baloney that the Romney campaign churned out in its closing days. We were in no position to evaluate it, but we wanted to believe (as did Governor Romney himself). ORCA was to enhance and magnify the impact of the campaign's turnout operation. It was to make the campaign's turnout operation competitive with Obama's in battleground or "target" states.
What happened? So far as we can tell, ORCA proved to be something of an epic failure. At Ace of Spades HQ, John Ekdahl recounts his personal experience in "The unmitigated disaster known as ORCA." At Breitbart, Joel Pollak adds testimony from a source inside the Romney campaign in "Inside ORCA: How the Romney campaign suppressed its own vote."

Meet & Eat: Rachel Gillman, Chicago's Gluten Free Guide
Interviews with our contributors.
Editor's Note: When Rachel asked if she could cover the gluten free options in Chicago, I agreed as quickly as possible. I knew next to nothing about that part of the scene and wasn't that excited to explore. But Rachel has convinced me that not only are there options, there are delicious ones, too. (Click here if you don't believe me.) I'm so glad to have her on the team. Check out her interview below.
Name: Rachel Gillman
Location: Chicago, IL
Occupation: Director of Media Relations at Olson by day, freelance writer by night
Website: @RachelGillman
Guilty pleasures? Since I'm gluten and lactose intolerant, I take the few guilty pleasures I have left very seriously. I've developed a borderline fixation on French fries, which I think pair perfectly with Pinot Noir. I consider guacamole the perfect condiment, and I also love to indulge with Vosges dark chocolate, gluten free pizza at Naked, cocktails at Sable, and the occasional bone-in ribeye.
Describe your perfect meal. The basis for my ideal meal is dining with people who don't mind sharing. I always think food tastes better off someone else's plate. I would also view it as a greatest hits compilation: sushi from Yuzu, frites from Publican, the Macho Salad from Bandera, gluten free pasta with lobster from Piccolo Sogno Due, the burger and hash browns from Au Cheval, and La Madia's chocolate polenta cake.
What food won't you eat? Aside from avoiding gluten and dairy (but not by choice), I don't eat pork. At a time when bacon is the most popular kid in school, this can be a little challenging. I also avoid food that still has its eyes intact. If I can make eye contact with a dish, I lose my appetite.
Favorite food person? I have a huge writer's crush on Ruth Reichl. I love her books, her attitude, and the way she makes food a central character in her life story. I would absolutely love to share a meal with her.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? In fourth grade, I decided I had outgrown the kids menu in restaurants and would only order filet mignon with a baked potato. Even in elementary school, I had very strong opinions about food and an abnormally large appetite. And I still love steak and potatoes.
What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? My dad thinks I would have a sizable nest egg if I stopped spending money on sushi. My husband is my perfect dining partner because he'll let me order for both of us and share everything. I'm lucky to have friends with a similar passion for restaurants who are far also more talented in the kitchen than I am.
Favorite food sites or blogs? I read the New York Times dining section religiously, but I also really enjoy Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef, and Eater Chicago.
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? I always trust Rodelio Aglibot for his chef expertise; Ari Bendersky, the editor of Eater Chicago, who knows everything that's happening in Chicago's restaurant scene; and Joe Campagna, the Chicago Food Snob for his honest opinions.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? For me, Sunday brunch is the ultimate comfort meal, whether you're recuperating from the night before or treating yourself before the work week begins. Lately I've been going to Prasino because I crave their hippie omelet with tomato jam and breakfast potatoes, but I'm also a fan of Uncommon Ground and Jam.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I'm great at finding recipes, but I struggle when it comes to actually preparing them. My go-to dish is chicken chili because it's idiot-proof and that's usually what I need.

On Monday of this week a few of my colleagues and I met with Dr. Terry Whipple to continue our conversation on making Richmond "the healthiest city in America." According to Forbes magazine we're already number 12. What would it take to move us to 11, and then 10, and then 9? That's what we talked about on Monday and Dr. Whipple's interest, of course, is helping people who are sick and suffering get better. His brilliant strategy is a program called the Physician Within, an educational mission designed, as Terry say, "to keep people out of the emergency room." So, if you or someone you know is suffering from back or neck pain, don't miss the next session of the Physician Within, Saturday, May 4, from 9 – 11:30 in the dining hall at Richmond's First Baptist Church.
But that's only the half of it.
Because being the healthiest city in America involves more than not getting sick. It also involves getting, and staying, healthy. So, cities are rated on the number of walking trails and bike paths and public parks they have. They're evaluated by the question: "How many people are out there, eating less and moving more?" Because that's the kind of thing that can make a city truly healthy, and not just unsick.
So, my brother Ed came to visit at a bad time, when all that was still on my mind. On Thursday we loaded the canoe on top of the car and spent about four hours paddling on the James, downriver through some riffles and then back upriver, portaging around a dam or two and digging in to buck the current and get back to our starting point. By the time we got finished our arms were tired. But later that afternoon, I took him to the Jewish Community Center, where I work out, and while I was lifting weights in the fitness center he swam laps in the pool—lots of them. This morning I brought him along for ecumenical jogging with my friend and Episcopal priest, Wallace Adams-Riley, and although we didn't run as far or fast as we usually do, I think we ran enough that Ed was beginning to wonder what he had gotten himself into.
I left him out there on the sidewalk, still talking to Wallace about his work as a missionary in Mexico, and how St. Paul's Episcopal Church might want to invest in the work that he's doing (God love 'em, these missionaries never miss an opportunity to talk about their work). I came in to blog, and have breakfast, and recover from the run. Soon I'll be dressed and ready for work, and out there on the streets again, thinking more about Richmond's spiritual health than it's physical health, and doing what I can today to bring heaven a little closer to earth.
For my brother Ed, heaven may come when he and his wife Debbie drive away from Richmond later this morning, and for the five-hour trip back to Rutherfordton, North Carolina (where they're staying while on furlough), he gets to put his feet up and rest.
Adios, Ed. Come again soon!

Lady Tigers Welcome EKU for Metro Schools Day
The Tennessee State University women's basketball team will welcome youth from all of the Davidson County Metro Schools to the Gentry Center as the Lady Tigers host Eastern Kentucky, Monday morning at 11 a.m. in an OVC contest. The game will be TSU's second in three days. On Monday, Inman will coach against one of his former players, Chrissy Roberts, and a team that he led for twenty years.
Tennessee State is coming off an, 87-70, win over Morehead State on Saturday. The win improved TSU to 7-13 (4-3 OVC) and gave coach Larry Inman his 500th career win. The victory was TSU's second straight home win.
TSU is averaging 68.0 points per outing while shooting 36.6 percent from the field. Chelsea Hudson leads the team in scoring with 16.1 points per game while Rachel Allen (12.0 ppg), Alana Morris (7.1 ppg) and Brianna Lawrence (6.7 ppg) round out the top scorers for TSU. TSU is currently tied for second place in the East Division.
The Lady Tigers, under second year head coach Larry Joe Inman, returned four letterwinners from last year's squad and added eight newcomers, including seven freshmen, to the roster. TSU finished last season with an overall record of 13-15 and a 9-7 conference mark. In an Ohio Valley Conference preseason poll that was released in October, TSU was predicted to finish fifth in the East Division standings.
Tennessee State fell behind early but used a 29-13 scoring run in the last eight minutes of the first half to go ahead, 35-26 at half time. TSU pulled away in the second frame and went on to defeat Morehead State, 87-70, in the Gentry Center. Chelsea Hudson had a double-double with 15 points and 15 rebounds while Brianna Lawrence had 14. Rachel Allen and Alana Morris each tallied 13 points as Briana Morrow chipped in 11.
Eastern Kentucky (11-6, 5-1 OVC) has won three straight including the most recent victory over Belmont. The Lady Colonels defeated the Bruins, 75-59, in the Curb Event Center on Saturday. EKU is in first place in the East Division.
In the win over Belmont, Marie Carpenter tallied 27 points after knocking down six three-pointers in the game. Shelly Harper and Pilar Walker eached chipped in 12.
Overall, Eastern Kentucky is led in scoring by Marie Carpenter who averages 22.1 points per game. Shelly Harper (11.2 ppg) and Pilar Walker (10.8 ppg) round out the top scorers for EKU.
As a team, the Lady Colonels average, 69.1 points per game while shooting 40.4 percent from the field and 32.3 percent from long range.
TSU vs. EASTERN KENTUCKY
Tennessee State will match-up with Eastern Kentucky for the 52nd time in the series history with EKU holding a, 36-16, advantage. Last season, TSU split with EKU, falling to the Lady Colonels, 62-54, on the road before clipping the opponent, 69-66, in the Gentry Center on Senior Night. TSU had dropped four straight to EKU before picking up the victory last season.
Updates on the game will be available throughout the game on the official twitter page via @TSU_Tigers. Live stats and video will also be available for the games. Links can be found on tsutigers.com under the schedule.
Tennessee State will return to action on Monday, Feb. 3 on the road at Tennessee Tech. Game time is slated for a 7 p.m. tip-off in the Eblen Center.

Once you have the flu you will probably have plenty of time to miserably think who infected you. Now, with a new Facebook application, you can finger many of your Facebook friends as the culprits.
"Help, My Friend Gave Me the Flu" is a new app that scans through friends' pages on the social network looking for tell-tale words such as sneezing, coughing or vomiting, and also logs check-ins to see if your paths may have crossed, according to the New York Daily News. As the app says on its Facebook page:
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Hello. I'm sorry you have the flu. Nothing will make you feel better like finding somebody to blame.
The app is from Help, an irreverent pharmaceutical company that markets its small packets of over-the-counter drugs with a single active ingredient, less dyes and coatings. Its website features answers to such questions as "Help, I'm sexually frustrated" (it pops up a bottle of beer) to "Help, I hate my eyebrows" (it shows three people with and without eyebrows and writes, "You are lucky you have any eyebrows at all.")
The app has a "Who Made Me Sick" button that tracks down people who may have the flu and allows the user to message the prime suspects or -- of course! -- purchase Help flu or cold remedies.
While this is certainly no Centers for Disease Control and Prevention flu update, it does provide some amusement among friends.

Permissive mode in SELinux is useful for developing and debugging policies since, as the system runs, access denials are logged but not enforced. However, this is problematic if only one application or service is being deployed to a system that is already up and running in production. Running in permissive mode is effectively disabling SELinux. This is where permissive domains are useful. Permissive domains are individual domains that are specified to run in permissive mode, allowing the remainder of the system to be in enforcing mode.
There are two ways to make a domain permissive. If you are writing a policy for your myapp_t domain, simply add the following statement to its .te file and rebuild the policy:
permissive myapp_t;
As long as this statement is compiled into the policy, the myapp_t domain will run in permissive mode. Simply delete the statement and rebuild the policy to remove the domain from permissive domain mode.
Alternatively, the semanage program can set the myapp_t domain permissive:
# semanage permissive -a myapp_t
And to remove it from permissive domain mode, use the following semanage command:
# semanage permissive -d myapp_t
Permissive domains are not the same thing as unconfined domains (such as unconfined_t). Unconfined domains run with no or few restrictions but do not log any requested access whereas permissive domains will log access what would be denied in order to help you write a policy for the domain without putting the entire system in permissive mode. Use the normal tools such as audit2allow while a type is permissive, and when you are happy with its policy you can take it out of permissive mode by either removing the 'permissive myapp_t;' statement from the policy or by running the semanage command above.

Washington's war on the press took another unsettling turn this summer. It took a couple of months for the story to crack the news, but we now have an even clearer picture of how easy it is for authorities to trample the constitutional protections provided to journalists, to say nothing of the Fourth Amendment rights enjoyed by all Americans.
On Aug. 6, Department of Homeland Security agents, U.S. Coast Guard investigators and Maryland State Police officers in full body armor searched the home of investigative journalist Audrey Hudson and confiscated a stack of her personal files, including government documents and notes.
According to the search warrant, the raid was carried out to search for firearms inside her home, noting that Ms. Hudson's husband, Coast Guard employee Paul Flanagan, was found guilty in 1986 of resisting arrest in Prince George's County and is prohibited under the law from possessing firearms.
But the officers, without Ms. Hudson's knowledge or consent, also took the papers that happened to contain information about her sources within two agencies she had covered extensively: the Department of Homeland Security — which helped execute the pre-dawn search — and the Transportation Security Administration. Ms. Hudson is rightly concerned that many of her federal government sources have been exposed.
"In particular, the files included notes that were used to expose how the federal Air Marshal Service had lied to Congress about the number of airline flights they were actually protecting against another terrorist attack," Hudson explained to The Daily Caller website.
In a chilling revelation reported by The Associated Press last week, Ms. Hudson said Coast Guard Special Agent Miguel Bosch actually asked her whether she had written The Washington Times stories that brought great criticism upon the Air Marshal Service in the mid-2000s — and that Mr. Bosch then identified himself as a former Air Marshal official.
The documents weren't listed on the search warrant and shouldn't have been taken. The vast majority of her boxes of files were left alone. Ms. Hudson only learned they were taken when, five weeks later, a Homeland Security official called her to say she could come pick them up.
Consider these circumstances against the backdrop of a government determined to root out the protected sources of journalists and, when possible, prosecute them. Recall earlier this year the Department of Justice secretly obtaining the phone records of Associated Press journalists and riding roughshod over Fox News reporter James Rosen by monitoring his personal email, phone records and movements. Or the DOJ seeking to put New York Times reporter James Risen on the stand to testify in the criminal trial of a former CIA official charged with providing classified (though practically useless) information for Mr. Risen's 2006 book, "State of War."
Perhaps the taking of Ms. Hudson's records was a coincidence, or a vendetta-driven fishing expedition carried out by a few officials. Given the way the Obama administration has attacked the news gathering process, intimidated whistle-blowers and limited the access of reporters and organizations who've asked tough questions and disclosed embarrassing information, the White House hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt. What happened to Ms. Hudson was a flat-out jackbooted assault on all reporters.
More than ever, journalists need the protection of a federal shield law. But that won't do the media or the public any good if the feds can kick down the door and take reporters' stuff.

Hostess Brands and their stock of snacks, including the beloved Twinkie, are back, defying a major trend against sugary food.
Hostess Brands and their stock of snacks, including the beloved Twinkie, are back, defying a major trend against sugary food.
The political culture has become increasingly hostile to sugary snacks and drinks. But Hostess Brands� rebirth proves that in America, you cannot easily dismiss a tasty, high-calorie snack.
Since November, U.S. consumers have been deprived of such Hostess Brands snacks as Twinkies and CupCakes.
Hostess Brands disappeared after bankruptcy proceedings brought on by feuding with union workers. The owners threw their hands up and decided to let someone else worry about delivering the snacks daily to consumers around the nation. The company was sold to new investors.
That also ended production, albeit temporarily. Last fall, as news of the Twinkie apocalypse spread, sales of Hostess snacks jumped 31,000 percent � that�s 31,000 � according to the Dallas Morning News.
People didn�t miss what they had until it was about to disappear. They flocked to the stores and snatched up the last remaining Twinkies and Ding Dongs.
Then came a period of fasting. For months, the question lingered: Would the new Hostess Brands, based in Texas, resume production? Health experts issued warnings while America�s stomachs churned with anticipation.
Earlier this month, Hostess started turning out snacks again. Twinkies and Ho Hos and Ding Dongs began reappearing on shelves, and, as they did in November, began disappearing, as Americans snatched up the snacks. Sales are seven times higher than historic levels, Hostess Brands officials said.
This goes to show that, despite the political blowback against sweets, Twinkies are an American icon.
Dieticians may not want to admit that, but millions of Americans did seem to miss the snacks, creating a burgeoning market when they returned.
True, there are legitimate concerns that snacks and fatty foods play a large role in America�s obesity epidemic. But it may be counterproductive for politicians to launch a regulatory war against sugary snacks. Americans need to learn how to exercise diet control � not let the big nanny government control their diets for them.
It appears that Twinkies will remain on America�s 21st century menu, despite the temporary financial disruption.
Hostess Brands� bottom line � and maybe America�s too � will get fatter even with all the nagging about obesity.
So no matter what New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg decrees about snacks, obesity and fatty foods, Americans will continue to hanker for snacks of questionable nutritional value.
But it should be noted that the Twinkies are reportedly a little smaller this time around. That could be considered a concession to the health crusaders � as long as Americans don�t eat more Twinkies to make up the difference.

Live Review: James Hunter at the Russian River Brewing Company
The recipe for a fantastic lunchtime concert is pretty basic. When it comes down to it, all you need is a Fender twin reverb, a vintage Gibson, a Gretsch drum kit, a standup bass and some damn fine songs. That's all James Hunter brought to the Russian River Brewing Company today, and it was enough to bring the house down.
Parked behind the place on Fifth Street was Hunter's large tour bus, which leads me to believe he's normally got a pretty impressive stage production, horns and all. Today, however, on the tiny stage in the corner, Hunter pared down to a three-piece and worked overtime on the guitar to fill in the missing sound. It wasn't what he was used to, but man, it was great.
In blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a denim jacket, Hunter announced songs in his thick British accent and then sang them like Sam Cooke or Otis Redding; just pure, beautiful soul. Near the end, he even unpacked "The Very Thought of You," and, instructing his band in an aside to take it at "the usual stupid speed," a ripping three-piece version of "Talkin' Bout My Love."
Filling in extra chords and licks on his guitar, Hunter took a crazed, half-picking half-fretboard-tapping solo with his bare palms. He played a little hand-jive, and then, when the tank-topped hippie dude in beads who'd been dancing the whole time was joined by a long-haired female, Hunter clasped his hands together in thankful prayer toward the sky. "Oh!" he cried. "A girl!"
The crowd went nuts at the end, a testament to Hunter's engaging charisma and talent. He plowed through the shoulder-to-shoulder house to get to the bathroom, and by the time he finally came out everybody was still clapping and screaming. Hunter played the Fillmore last night, and you gotta think he loves doing these little shows—he certainly seemed like he was having a blast. So it was one more song, and one more great noontime concert by the KRSH. Thanks, guys, for brightening everyone's Wednesday.

There are two game sevens on the bill tonight, with the Canucks-Blackhawks and Sabres-Flyers series both tied up, 3-3. The Bruins, meanwhile, have come back from two games down against the Canadiens and now lead 3-2. They'll play in Montreal tonight, which means Zdeno Chara can once again look forward to a chorus of boos each and every time he touches the puck.
Roberto Luongo will start in goal for the Canucks tonight; you may have heard that head coach Alain Vigneault unexpectedly sat him in favor of Cory Schneider to start Game 6. The Vancouver Sun helpfully reminds those not acquainted with Luongo of his suffering postseason career in the NHL:
Luongo may have handled the big Olympic stage but he hasn't been able to handle the Blackhawks in any of the last three playoff years. His win-loss record against Chicago is 7-11. His playoff record, dating back to 2007, is 13-9 against the rest of the league. Overall, Luongo is a pedestrian 20-20 in his post-season career, all with the Canucks.
In summary: Tonight, Roberto Luongo will do his very best to not play like Roberto Luongo. Enjoy the ice-stick.

Bottle Shop Tales: Seattle's Most Shiny and New
I might as well stick with it. Let's call it a trend. Today I hit up 2 Seattle area bottle shops [sic] that I have never visited before. One is very new, the other is newish, mostly "under new management", or so I understand.
First up was Chuck's 85th St. Market. I have been following these guys for a little while now via Twitter (am I obsessed?). They go by @chucks85th in case you'd like to follow. I noticed that they have been having a lot of tastings lately and that they seem to get most of the coveted releases, though often a bit later than the big(er) guys. They just tweeted that they got Firestone Walker Double Jack in and I have been in need of that ever since it hit the Seattle market. I had seen the place on many occasions, but never really believed that it would be worth a damn as a bottle shop. In fact, I used to run past it on a daily basis when I lived on Cleopatra Place NW, one block north of The Dray.
Speaking of The Dray, please check out this article at Seattle Beer News about the soon to be opened bar called The Yard by the same owners. I'm super excited!
Back to the bottles. Chuck's is oddly similar to the Lake Stevens place that I posted about yesterday. It's a god damn convenience store with a more than normal bottle collection. In this case, unlike that of Norm's, the selection is, as Tim Webb may say, "smart". There's significantly less refrigerators at Chuck's that are designated to beer as are at Norms, but there is much, much more excitement. Yes, you will find six packs of your standard, slightly cheaper micro varieties, but you will find almost equal parts eye poppers and "trendy" offerings. I walked away with a North Coast Twentieth Anniversary, a HOD Blue Dot and 2 Double Jacks. Great Success!
After a brief stop at 74th St. Alehouse to grab a pint of Two Beers cask Evo IPA dry hopped and infused with D'anjou pears and Pink Lady Apples (drool) I headed over to Seth's (of Collins Pub/Hudson New American Public House fame) new bottle shop, The Last Drop.
I must admit that I'm massively jealous of what Seth has created here. From the first moment that I walked through the doors of Belmont Station in Portland I knew that pubs and bottle shops were meant to live in harmony, side by side. I promised myself that my bar/brewpub would have an adjoining bottle shop. I stand by that, and you know what, fuck it, you should do it too. The more options the better. Let us beer nerds take over the world…of commerce.
I digress. The Last Drop is a bit stark at the moment, but I have a strong feeling that Seth has made it this way to allow for it to grow organically with time. He was a lot of space to work with, which excites me. I want to work for him and help fill the voids, both figuratively and literally. There is a lot of potential there.
TLD has about 7 (I forgot to count) beers on tap behind the register for growler fills. Some solid offerings, no doubt. There's a few wine options available as well, but beer is clearly the motif here. If it's not clear by now, I'm a cranky old snob when it comes to bottle shops. If I want something cheap I'll go to Safeway and buy a 12er of Rainier. When I go to a bottle shop I want the newest releases and I plan to spend $50. I want to build my cellar or I want to get something that I have never had before. I also work for a living and find it very challenging to arrive on the doorsteps of Bottleworks when this shit gets released. The Last Drop, at least as of now in its infantile stage, fucking rules my life.
It's clear that Seth was buying/cellaring beers for his bottle shop long before the doors opened. I love him for that. Though some of the rarer offerings have been sicken with an up-charge, it's to be expected, and honestly, it excites me because it inadvertently offers monetary fortitude to what I've cellared in the past 6 months. This is far different from offering horrible out of season beers like Norm's does. This is offering a virtual get out of jail free card to the lazy or the busy (like myself). If I didn't already have a 2010 Black Xanthus I'd have picked one up. If you don't have one, get over to Last Drop now!
Allow me to state, for the record, that I know I can sound highly narcissistic at times when I write these articles. Please understand that that is my role here at beerblottter.com. I'm the uber-nerd that plays to the sensibilities of the Northwest beer connoisseur. For those that are not connoisseurs, please feel free to mock me, mostly for spending nearly all of my meager earnings on beer that I horde away and rarely actually drink. One day, most likely very soon, I'll die and leave a god-awful amount of amazing beer to some lo-life that has zero respect/understanding for what I have and it'll be all for naught. I repeat, mock at will.

another bottle shop that is worth a visit is Seattle Beer Authority on Lake City Ave near 124th.
Barry(owner) has a very nice selection of bottles along with half a dozen taps that are constantly changing. He has brewers nite on a regular bases featuring some of the best local brewers.(e-mail alerts,of course)

We found no results!
Try your search again, but first:
There are significant financial incentives for working with heavier petroleum streams, including heavier crudes being produced and transported by pipeline, topped crudes with light ends removed or heavy petroleum fractions, which result from refinery processing. However, high viscosity, high pour point material possesses significant risk for pipeline plugging when moved into and out of storage. A pour point depressant can help mitigate that risk by ensuring pumpability, allowing heavier material to be moved and stored while decreasing or eliminating the use of cutter stocks. Nalco Water heavy pour point depressants treat a variety of heavy oils.
Nalco Water scientists have worked to develop a methodology that enables us to more easily predict the most suitable performing pour point depressant. It allows for a quick screening and requires a smaller volume of sample.
With innovative solutions and insights, Nalco Water helps customers around the world to manage challenges associated with the flow of crudes and heavy oils at a refinery or terminal.

Space Bees are a species that resemble Earth bees and produce space honey. They live in space and are ruled by а Queen Bee.
At least two Planet Express crews have been sent by Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth to collect space honey from the Space Bees' honeycomb. The Space Bee's sting normally results in instant death if the person stung is not allergic. If the person stung is allergic, the results are much more gruesome. The only two known survivors of a Space Bee sting are Philip J. Fry I and Turanga Leela. Fry's survival was due to the stinger going right through him and Leela getting all of the poison.
In the holiday special, Hermes would have united the bees causing them to act like Africanized bees and turned against the crew. But since this episode never occurred in the timeline the space bees have no updated status. It is possible that Professor Farnsworth never wanted to send a member back to the hive.
