GSS Holding First Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Friday, April 6th, 2012

GSS will be holding their First Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 7th at their Pro Shop on Diamond Springs Road here in Virginia Beach, VA.

“Join us for GSS Gear’s Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Dyed hard boiled eggs? They are good for egg salad. Chocolate bunnies? Peeps? Jelly Beans? No way. Spend your Saturday morning scouring our Pro Shop for eggs filled with gift cards with values up to $500.00. The Easter Bunny only left 100 eggs so get here early (limit one per customer). The store opens at 10:00. Hope to see you there!“

A Factory Closes And People Are Playing

Friday, March 30th, 2012

We see good and bad come out of comments. Today, we saw some bad. ATK recently announced the closing of the Eagle Industries plant in Fenton, Missouri, resulting in 325 workers losing their livelihood. Unfortunately, an SSD reader thought it would fun to create several comment logins and portrayed themselves not only as an employee of Eagle but also as a representative of another St Louis-based company. The comments were off color, and SSD would like to apologize to both companies, as well as the Eagle employees for the actions of the perpetrator. As you can see, they all share the same Cingular wireless IP and they are not in St Louis.

Sir David Petraeus, GEN USA (Ret)

Friday, March 16th, 2012

The Dutch Minister of Defense has knighted GEN David Petraeus, USA (Ret) at the Hague. There are several Orders of Knighthood in the Netherland, some the responsibility of the Ministry, others solely the purview of the Crown. Though there are no details yet, it is likely GEN Petraeus was Knighted into the Military William Order, the Order of the Netherlands Lion or the Order of Orange Nassau. As the Military William Order (the highest honor the Dutch can give) and Order of Orange Nassau are the two military decorations it is likely one of these. The motto of the Military William Order is Vor Moed, Beleid en Trouw, or “For Bravery, Leadership and Loyalty”; there are seven levels of the Order of Orange Nassau. Both are open to foreigners. We’ll have to see which one GEN Petraeus earned.
