According to Pam’s House Blend, Larry Stickney of Protect Marriage Washington has a Twitter follower FAIL: Yep, two (2) followers. No SEO guys? No life coaches? No Bacon/Anti- Bacon bots? Not an impressive showing of support for withholding marriage rights on “moral” grounds. Ginny I can has iPhone?

Beware Zombie Rinkwomen! Utah has a lively roller derby scene, with avid fans and some truly awesome, Amazon-like warrior women. Check this photo out from the City Weekly blog. Roller Derby: O-Town Report “This was actually the best game we’ve had so far. It was back-and-forth the whole bout, very competetive, lots of stress and anger on the floor due to the score being so close–it was awesome. We got a broken tailbone, broken glasses and huge rink-rash bruises. The final score was Sucker Punch Sweethearts 132, Ladies of Capone 122.” If I had to live in Utah again, I’d…

It would piss you off, right? I know it would really make me angry if that happened to my mom, but I can’t check because the information is hidden behind a registration wall AND a “member in good standing/temple recommend number” wall. Because when she was alive, she was really horrified by the idea that everyone in her family had been baptized against their will, after they died, and that someday she would, too. Well, it’s apparently happened to President Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham. I think it’s a terrible breach of spiritual protocol, the church’s own supposedly “hard and…

San Clemente Church in Rome must be the real-life model of the church from Ngaio Marsh’s mystery novel, “When In Rome.” Although it’s one of her later books, and not the best of them all, it’s got its points, and the mystery takes place in the Mithraic temple 2 levels below the church. Underground Fun: European Edition – Boing Boing What makes San Clemente special is what lies beneath. Take the stairs down from the 12th century church, and you’ll find yourself in a previous incarnation of the Basilica that dates to the 4th century. The light is bad down…

The Ultimate Frisbee Team dropped trou, lost the season when Club Sports canned ’em. That’s my old school. Go Pantsless Ducks! U of Oregon to Frisbee team: No pants, no season PORTLAND, Ore. – In the world of intercollegiate Ultimate Frisbee, it’s ultimately not cool to go without pants. So said a student board that governs club sports at the University of Oregon when it ended a highly-ranked team’s season after five players shed their pants and underwear April 11 during sectional play at Oregon State University in Corvallis. The squad had already been on probation since November for serving…

because there’s never been a documented outbreak of fish flu or fishpox. And there may be a connection with factory farming in Mexico, where hogs and chickens are both raised in large, tightly packed facilities. David Kirby: Swine Flu Outbreak — Nature Biting Back at Industrial Animal Production? Officials from the CDC and USDA will likely arrive in Mexico soon to help investigate the deadly new influenza virus that managed to jump from pigs to people in a previously unseen mutated form that can readily spread among humans. One of the first things they will want to look at are…

Thanks, @mashable! Also, what a rotten time for @fallingrock to be on the road at @commonug. Wash your hands frequently, honey. HOW TO: Track Swine Flu Online There are few things in this world that cannot be easily replaced, repaired, or regained. Our health and the health of the ones we love falls into this category. The best thing we can do to protect our health, above medication or rest, is prevention. This week, news broke of a new and fatal swine flu on the Mexico-U.S. border. It has quickly turned into a growing outbreak and possible pandemic. Knowing about…

We lead such an exciting, glamorous life. My husband David and I planned a few weeks ago to take last Friday off and drive down to visit a niece of ours that lives in south-central Illinois. We visit her periodically because she lives a long way from home, and we don’t get to see her very often if we wait for her occasional visits “home” for birthdays and holidays. We think these visits are important for emotional well-being, both hers, and ours. She’s always happy to see us, and we feel happy and sad for her at the same time.…
