Canada Day Proclaimed in South Dakota
Governor Dennis Daugaard proclaimed February 18, 2015 Canada Day in South Dakota,
(kdltnews) Pierre SD - Government leaders from Alberta and Manitoba joined state lawmakers at the Capitol on Wednesday to celebrate the country's relationship with South Dakota.
It was a full house inside the Capitol as Consul General Jamshed Merchant greeted a joint session of the South Dakota House and Senate.
Through his address, Merchant explained the strong relationship between Canada and South Dakota and why the country is the state's number one trading partner.
Consul General Merchant said, "South Dakota and Canada share this immense relationship."
For 200 years, the United States has remained close to its friend from the north, and South Dakota has been a big part in helping the friendship flourish.
"A lot of Canadians love coming to South Dakota. Over 200,000 Canadians come visit a place like Mount Rushmore, but they leave money when they come. They leave lots of money in the economy,” said Merchant.
Putting money into the economy is a mutual deal between Canada and South Dakota.
Over $1 billion is accrued annually through trade between the U.S. and Canada, and a portion of that trade comes from over 28,000 South Dakota jobs.
Merchant said, "All the way from companies like Daktronics that make signs for hockey arenas, to fire engines from Rosenbauer, to companies that do manufacturing."
As the strong relationship continues to grow, February 18, 2015 was proclaimed Canada Day in South Dakota.

Brave New World: Tiffany & Co. Features 1st same-sex couple in engagement campaign
Jan 9 2015 (elle) = It's almost a cliché at this point—that a little girl dreams of opening a Tiffany blue box from her beau when he finally pops the question. But what about the boys who dream of being proposed to by their beaus?
For the first time, Tiffany & Co. is featuring a gay couple in its latest engagement campaign. (Fun fact: the pair are not models—which, really?!!—but an unnamed, real-life NYC couple.)
"Nowadays, the road to marriage is no longer linear, and true love can happen more than once with love stories coming in a variety of forms," said Linda Buckley, Tiffany & Co. VP of North American PR, in a statement to ELLE.com. "The Tiffany engagement ring is the first sentence of the story that a couple will write together as they create a life that is deeply intimate and exceptional, which is the message we hope to convey through this campaign."

We all know Tiffany & Co won't feature a Xian & Jewish couple let alone an interracial polygamist group. I guess some people are more equal than others. When will the hate end?
Twitter them @TiffanyAndCo and say enough is enough! (end sarcasm)

The U.S. Government Wants to Keep You From Wearing "Comfyballs" Boxers
(The following contains mature subject matter that some may not find suitable, discretion is advised)
(Gawker.com) - The regrettably named Norwegian underwear brand Comfyballs was all set to make its big debut in the U.S. this year when it was shut down by the country's patent and trademark office. A trademark on Comfyballs, USPTO argued, was just too vulgar for Americans to accept.
The Independent reports on the tribulations of the company, which was already comforting balls across Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavia, and the U.K. when its trademark application was denied:
But American authorities banned it from operating under that name, finding that, "in the context of the applicant's goods... Comfyballs means only one thing - that a man's testicles, or 'balls,' will be comfortable in the applicant's undergarments.
"The mark does not create a double entendre or other idiomatic expression... When used in this way, the word, 'balls' has an offensive meaning."
What makes Comfyballs so comfy? According to the company, the fist-sized crotch protrusion you see on the pair above isn't just for looks. Au contraire, it is the pinnacle of testicular technology:
Package Front™ is designed to keep your equipment in place, while being lifted away from the inside of your thighs, preventing unnecessary heating of the balls. Extremely curved panels combined with innovative use of elastic fabric seams lift the user experience to a new level!
Citing successful trademarks on brands like "Nice balls," and "I love my balls," Comfyballs founder Anders Selvig told the Independent he'd like to see the USPTO review its decision to pan his application. Until then, Hanes and Fruit of the Loom will have to suffice for owners of insufficiently cushioned scrotums. Read the rest HERE

Hello Kitty: not a cat?
But it has "Kitty in the name..
(Telegraph) - She turns 40 this year, but Hello Kitty's blank face and impressive skill with accessories are still as ubiquitous as they were when the Japanese character launched in 1974 as a coin purse.
But news for fans - did you know that Hello Kitty is not a cat, but a young British girl with a twin sister and an entire backstory?
Christine R Yano, an anthropologist from the University of Hawaii and visiting professor at Harvard, has spent years studying the phenomenon that is Hello Kitty and her lasting appeal.
Speaking to the LA Times, she explains some of the lesser-known facts about the cutesy character.
"Hello Kitty is not a cat," she says.
"She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty."
Here are some other things you might not know about Hello Kitty:
She's actually British. She has an entire backstory that sees her living at home outside London with her parents, George and Mary White

World's Jews Celebrate Christmas With Ceremonial Re-Murdering Of Christ
Via TheOnion
JERUSALEM—As Christians everywhere celebrate the birth of Christ this holiday season, the world's approximately 14 million Jews are also commemorating the special holiday, as they do each year, by ceremonially re-murdering the Baby Jesus. Details of the time-honored Jewish tradition include the baking of a baby-shaped potato pancake, which is filled with beet juice and then beheaded by a demon-horned rabbi using a specially blessed "baby-killing" knife. "I love devouring Christians' young almost as much as corrupting maidens," said Benjamin Levy, 89. "It's a magical time for all." The re-murdering is among the most important celebrations of the Jewish calendar, second only to the springtime "Poisoning of the Easter Wells" festival.
