Jacob deNobel – “Prom, then and now Carroll residents and high schoolers compare prom experiences,” Carroll County Times April 12, 2015

What a great story by Jacob deNobel – “Prom, then and now Carroll residents and high schoolers compare prom experiences,” Carroll County Times April 12, 2015

 
Prom, then and now Carroll residents and high schoolers compare prom experiences Jacob deNobel, Carroll County Times April 12, 2015

In 2015, girls throughout Carroll County schools preparing for prom are protecting themselves from running into an inadvertant doppleganger by uploading photos of their prom dresses to specialty Facebook pages established at each school to ensure nobody runs into a dress twin at the biggest school-sponsored party of the year.

Prom, then and now Devon Rothschild, Carroll County School Board member
Carroll residents and high schoolers compare prom experiences
Jacob deNobel, Carroll County Times April 12, 2015

Devon Rothschild of the Carroll County Board of Education, said she was glad social media wasn't around for her high school experience.

"I've always said, it was never my intention to run for public office. I'm glad Facebook wasn't around," Rothschild said. "I was a good kid, but I do tend to say what I'm thinking, and I imagine that would end up on Facebook. As you get older, you learn when to keep your mouth shut."

[…]

Before prom-posals were uploaded to the internet as a constant game of one-upmanship, they usually happened in private between two people. Rothschild, however, said she experienced a surprising prom-posal in an era before the term existed.

"My boyfriend and I had been dating for two years when prom came about. He actually proposed to me on prom night, with a ring and everything. So there are pictures of me, 17, in my prom dress with all my big hair getting proposed to," Rothschild said. "I did accept, but I did not actually marry him. My husband has a sense of humor about the whole thing."

Saturn sawn in half to prove a point
Originally published August 21, 2010

Raymond Reeder's house on Kemp Lane has a sign that says, "Beware of bulldog."


A "no trespassing" sign is posted at the entrance of the driveway.


He considers himself a gear head and a mountain man.


A week ago, Reeder, 39, sawed in half a 1998 Saturn station wagon...  http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display_comments.htm?StoryID=108860#postComments

W00t! sends Associated Press a bill for quoting its blog

Wonderfully played:

http://www.boingboing.net/2010/07/06/w00t-sends-associate.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+boingboing/iBag+(Boing+Boing)

W00t! sends Associated Press a bill for quoting its blog

When W00t! posted its delightful notice about being acquired by Amazon, it was picked up and re-run by blogs all over the net. Not wanting to miss out on the action, the Associated Press ran the story and the text, too.

One problem: the AP has previously told bloggers that quotations -- however brief -- should be licensed before publication. They even offer these licenses. For a small fee, AP will generously allow you to quote one of its articles on your blog (provided that you don't do so in a way that criticizes the AP, of course, and they reserve the right to take the quote back at any time).

So W00t! sent the AP a bill for $17.50 for the quotation: Oh, and find the bill here:

Yet another priceless moment from California Senator Barbara Boxer – the arrogance that keeps on giving.

“…whatever you do, don't point at the Senator when you speak to her. It's so rude.”

Gettysburg College Band plans centennial celebration


Gettysburg College Band plans centennial celebration

Picture of an old mellophone player… (For a larger image go here:) http://twitpic.com/cpuxw

This page was called to my attention in an e-mail by a family member because the person on the left is the pastor at Taylorsville United Methodist Church, my sister-in-law, Rev. Sarah Babylon Dorrance.

The photograph is from the 1970s, when she attended Gettysburg College…
