I have always been a big water drinker. I've never been much of a fan of soda. One of my greatest joys is bottled water. However, bottled water is sooo bad for the environment. I mean, all those bottles have to go somewhere. Plus, buying a couple bottles of water a day starts to add up. A water filter bottle is a great alternative.
Water filter bottles have been around for a while, but it's really just been in the last couple of years that they've gained in popularity. Prior to this time, you almost had to go to a hard-core camping supply store or even a survivalist catalog to get your hands on one.
Those days are no longer! You can find water filter bottles in mainstream stores and catalogs now. Eco Vessel has a line of water filter bottles called Aqua Vessel. Aqua Vessel bottles are stainless steel bottles that come in fashion colors. Better than that, though, these bottles can filter up to 100 gallons of water! That means that the 17 oz bottles can be filled 753 times before the filter needs to be replaced. How awesome is that? I say very.
Some of the other features of the Aqua Vessel water filter bottle include:
- BPA free
- Made from top quality 18/8 Stainless Steel
- Insulated to keep your water cool
- 100% recyclable
- Fun colors
- Activated coconut shell carbon filter
- Improves taste of water
The filter filters out
- 99.9% of Giardia and Cryptosporidium
- Reduces toxic chemicals, including DDT, MBTE, and Arsenic.
- Reduces heavy metals like Copper, Lead, mercury, aluminum, and chromium 6.
- Reduces microscopic pathogens, chlorine, sediment, and dirt.
Just think about how much cleaner your water will be? Or maybe you don't want to, because the thought of it can be rather icky. The MiraGuard antimicrobial technology even keeps the filter and straws from getting moldy. Don't think that you can only drink tap water with your Aqua Vessel water filter bottle. Oh no. It will filter all this nastiness out of creek and river water, too!
The Aqua Vessel water filter bottle is designed to go anywhere you do. Whether it's just running errands around town or trekking through the wilderness, Eco Vessel has you covered!
You can connect with Eco Vessel on Facebook and Twitter, too.

|Reviews for Wave That Flag Ever So High
| Whirlymerle chapter 1 . 1/12/2011
The poem started out excellent. It had an upbeat rhythm, and I loved your repetition. So great job on that part!
I was a little disappointed by the end though, when it no longer rhymed. You don't have to have every line rhyme, but the ending would be much more effective if the last two lines did.
Just a suggestion. Good job!
| JennHelenaLoves chapter 1 . 1/7/2011
I love that you created this poem by something you saw during your day that often goes unrecognized and payed no attention to. It's a great skill to have. I like this, very patriotic as well :)

We were blessed with five children. Two boys and three girls. Out of those we have one child with special needs. We have been participating in Special Olympics for about 15 years and will continue as long as we can. Our youngest daughter decided to take up motocross in Oklahoma. We have been racing about 1 year and she wanted to do something special for her brother, so she asked if she could put the Special Olympics logo on her bike. It was all taken care of. So not only does she help and attend his events she also supports him in her sport of motocross. The graphics are amazing and I am very privileged to have the wonderful children I have.

Kansas University pilot Robert Custer was flying high Wednesday.
Custer was out putting in air time in the university's newest acquisition, a Cessna Citation Bravo. The plane arrived in Lawrence from Wichita in the early afternoon with Custer at the controls.
The $4 million Cessna replaces a 1973 Beechcraft King Air that was recently sold to an air service in Ottawa.
"The old plane was grounded for much of the summer," director of university relations Tom Hutton said.
The university also owns another plane, a 1982 Beech King Air C-90, still in use.
The new plane is powered by jet propulsion instead of using a propeller, Hutton said.
"That's the real advantage," he said. "It's fast, fuel-efficient and safe."
The Bravo can fly at speeds up to 450 miles per hour and was financed by private donations to the KU Endowment Association.
The university initially received criticism for the decision to purchase the plane, but Hutton said it was the most logical choice.
"The 1973 engine was in need of substantial work," he said. "A complete overhaul of the engine , which will have to be done soon, would have cost $400,000 to $500,000. It was more advisable to replace it than repair it."
Among the first to use the plane will be Dr. Kimberly Templeton. Templeton, a doctor of orthopedic surgery at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan., will fly to Salina early today for a clinic. With the new plane's speed, she'll be back in Kansas City before lunch, Hutton said.

Men At Large
0 Shouts - 16,076 Scrobbles
Men at Large was an American R&B group from Cleveland, Ohio, whose members, David Tolliver and Jason Chapman, frequently self-referenced their obesity. They scored several US hits in the mid-1990s and were discovered by the late soul singer Gerald Levert.Read More...
(2) R&B duo Men at Large arrived during the tail-end of the new jack swing era with strong support and creative input from fellow Clevelander Gerald Levert. Expressive vocalists Dave Tolliver and Jason Champion began with Atlantic subsidiary EastWest and released two albums for the label: Men at Large (1992) and the relatively mellow One Size Fits All (1994). They reached Billboard's R&B chart with seven singles from those titles, including the Top Ten hits "Use Me" and "So Alone," the latter of which was a ballad addressed to Tolliver's mother, who had recently passed. Third and fourth Men at Large albums were issued through independent labels during the late '90s and 2000s. After the duo split, Champion recorded contemporary gospel material and was featured on high-profile albums by A-listers Kirk Franklin and Deitrick Haddon. Tolliver popped up on tracks by Rome and 8Ball & MJG and released solo albums in 2009 and 2015. In 2016, with Edgar "Gemini" Porter in place of Champion, Tolliver reactivated Men at Large through the single "Date Night." ~ Andy Kellman

Since my arrival on Earth I have done a reasonable amount of travel. I've been to several different countries including the United Kingdom, visited parts of the Caribbean and a traveled throughout a good number of states within our country. However I had never traveled past Louisiana westward until last week.
My brother, Freddy, and my father-in-law, Kenny Rentz, joined me for a work trip and we boarded a plane in Jacksonville, Florida, last Tuesday afternoon in hopes of arriving at Ontario Airport, outside of Los Angeles, California, that same evening.
As our first flight/plane advanced to the runway the pilot stopped for a preflight check and soon announced that the plane was having a "technical issue".
I asked Freddy and Kenny, "What the heck does a technical issue mean? Is the tire about to fall off? The wing? Did we forget the co-pilot? Let's figure out the technical issue before this sucker leaves the ground!"
The pilot turned the plane around, took us back to the terminal and announced that our 6:00 p.m. flight had been canceled and that we would have to wait for another plane to arrive in a few hours to take us to the Dallas/Ft. Worth airport for our connecting flight to California. There was only one problem…our connecting flight from Texas to California would already be gone by the time we arrived in Texas. After several interesting and intense discussions with the airline attendants, we learned that we would have to wait in Dallas until Wednesday morning before we could continue on to California.
We finally arrived in Texas around midnight and the airline gave us vouchers for a taxi and motel rooms. This is where we met the taxi driver from Hades. This Somolian immigrant refused to take us to the motel unless we had the appropriate voucher. Did I mention it was 20 degrees when we arrived in Dallas and my coat was still in my checked luggage probably inside the airplane? This guy didn't know exactly what he was dealing with. Here it was midnight, freezing cold and three exhausted south Georgia boys simply looking for a ride to a motel. While Freddy was over discussing the issue with an airline representative and the insane taxi driver, Kenny and I were plotting a hostile takeover of the taxi. The only problem we couldn't overcome…we had no idea where we were and couldn't determine if the cab had GPS.
Once we arrived at the motel, an hour later, I realized I had another issue. All of my toiletries were in my checked bag located at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport on an airplane. The motel was kind enough to give me a toothbrush, but they were out of everything else such as deodorant, tooth paste, etc. At least I had clean underwear that I about needed after the "technical issue" incident with the plane.
After four to five hours of sleep we were greeted by a telephone call from the motel's front desk informing us that the taxi driver from Hades was waiting to take us back to the airport. No joke; it was the same guy. Believe it or not the guy actually had the audacity to ask for a tip when we arrived back at the airport. I was still trying to thaw out from the night before. Needless to say he was told where he'd better go and that was away from us.

Majid Al Futtaim partners with 'The Sameness Project' to support labourers in UAE
Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East and North Africa, is partnering with 'The Sameness Project' to launch its "Together we make a difference' campaign to support labourers in the UAE.
The campaign will see a number of Majid Al Futtaim's iconic brands contribute to offering new experiences to labourers working at the Pullman Residence refurbishment at City Centre Deira. The initiative is part of Majid Al Futtaim's sustainability vision for improved health and safety standards among labourers.
Starting in August, Majid Al Futtaim employees will distribute care packs full of everyday essentials from Carrefour and health experts from the newly launched City Centre Clinic- Deira will be visiting the construction site to conduct free health checks for blood pressure and offer GP consultation for all workers.
Through the campaign, Majid Al Futtaim aims to touch the lives of one thousand labourers making connections with each individual by also gifting them finger printed cups' that showcases the idea that 'Together, we make a difference.' Majid Al Futtaim has rolled out several community based initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan to support causes and underscore its commitment to giving back to the community.
One of the many stand out community initiatives, the 'Make a difference' campaign which supports underprivileged families in the UAE, received a tremendous response from the community. Last year 30,000 bags of donations containing clothes, books, mobile phones and toys were distributed to families through the Red Crescent UAE.
During Ramadan, the Majid Al Futtaim Charity Foundation produced and distributed 10,000 Qur'ans in Africa and Sri Lanka. Through Zakat donations to their charity partners the organisation also supported tuition and medical treatments for 200 students.

That 70S Show Cast
"That 70's Show" cast was assembled by G. Charles Wright, for an amazingly well-written show set in the mid-70's in Wisconsin. The show aired on FOX from 1998-2006. Mark Brazill, Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner were the geniuses who created it. The show is centered around Eric Foreman, his family and best friends. Eric and his friends all hung around in Eric's basement, frequently getting high.
Red and Kitty Foreman (Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp) So many people recognized the mannerisms and mindsets of Eric's parents, it was amazing. Red had a temper, and Eric knew how to get to it. This earned him frequent tongue-lashings by Red. When it looked like he might be winding down, Kitty always chimed in "And we love you."
Eric Foreman (Topher Grace) Eric was a quick-witted, funny kid that was always loyal to a fault. His heart belonged to Donna, the girl next door. He only appeared in the final episode of the seventh season, with the storyline saying he was a teacher in Africa.
Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) A beautiful redheaded tomboy, Eric thought he'd never have a chance at love with Donna. They weren't cut-out for a traditional relationship, though. Their engagement may have been short-lived, but they got their "happily ever after" in the final episode of the series.
Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson) Eric's best friend, who you just know is going to be an activist if he can lay off the weed long enough. Everybody else calls him Hyde, but Kitty calls him Steven. He effectively becomes her foster son after his mom abandons him and Red lets him come stay with them in season one.
Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) Turned out that wasn't his name. Fez was actually FES: Foreign Exchange Student. The show never said what country he was supposed to be from, originally. Fez was silly, funny, flirty and a bit strange but he never wavered in his unrequited (until the final season) love for Jackie.
Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis) Jackie was the quintessential irritating spoiled brat/pretty girl. Her level of willful ignorance regularly shocked, surprised and irritated Donna. As she grew and changed over the years, she and Donna become close friends. She and Michael were a couple for most of the series.
Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) Kelso was much-loved by Jackie, and he used that to his advantage. He treated her as more of a possession that he expected to revolve around hiim. Ashton Kutcher is one of the most visible actors of the "That 70's Show" cast in the years since the show's 2006 finale.
Additional characters who made regular appearances were Eric's sister, Laurie (first played by Lisa Robin Kelly, then by Christina Moore). The original actress was very popular, but had a drug problem that wound up costing her her spot in the "That 70's Show" cast. The show chose to recast rather than dropping the character completely. Bob and Midge Pinciotti (Don Stark and Tonya Roberts) were Donna's parents. Their marriage ended for a time and Tonya was off the show, but she made guest appearances. Brook Shields was hilarious in her rare appearances as Jackie's mom.

Behind the obvious violations of his Constitutional rights is Monsanto. Ingram was researching Roundup's effects on bees, which he's raised for 58 years. "They ruined 15 years of my research," he told Prairie Advocate, by stealing most of his stock.
A certified letter from the Ag Dept.'s Apiary Inspection Supervisor, Steven D. Chard, stated:
"During a routine inspection of your honeybee colonies by … Inspectors Susan Kivikko and Eleanor Balson on October 23, 2011, the bacterial disease 'American Foulbrood' was detected in a number of colonies located behind your house…. Presence of the disease in some of your colonies was confirmed via test results from the USDA Bee Research Laboratory in Beltsville, Maryland that analyzed samples collected from your apiary…."Ingram can prove his bees did not have foulbrood, and planned to do so at a hearing set in April, but the state seized his bees at the end of March. They have not returned them and no one at the Ag Dept. seems to know where his bees are.

Building Homes for Heroes is near and dear to Sylvia Van't Foort's heart. The organization supports disabled veterans that have served in the wars of Iraq or Afghanistan and the owner of Le Meilleur Bakery & Barista in Hull wanted to help.
Van't Foort is combining her baking talents with the initiative to support the worthwhile cause. "The goal is to raise $1.2 million for Building Homes for Heroes to build 12 homes. We're doing that by our cookie boxes," Van't Foort noted. "You get 24 fresh-baked mini chocolate chip cookies in a box." The cookie campaign began in January and she expects to continue the promotion throughout 2017.
The boxes can be ordered online atwww.supportthehomefront.com, by calling Van't Foort, 712-439-1062, or by stopping at the bakery, 521 Black Forest Road.
Van't Foort's time is donated, and the only costs are the ingredients. Everything that's earned from the sale of cookies goes to the initiative. The bakery gains only the satisfaction of helping out.
The Building Homes for Heroes program builds homes while also rebuilding the lives of those who've selflessly served the country and are dealing with disabling physical and psychological conditions. In 2015, the program gifted 28 mortgage-free homes, and remodeled and completed construction on 12 additional homes. Some homes are built from scratch and some are modified to meet the needs of the disabled veterans.
Since it's beginning, the number of gifted homes has gradually climbed from two homes in 2010 to around 35 homes in 2016. In 2017 the organization is hoping to gift 45 homes.
Building Homes for Heroes' goal is to make a difference in the lives of wounded American Service members and their families, alleviating financial burdens, restoring the family's freedom, and enabling veterans to lead more independent and productive civilian lives. Being a recipient of a home allows veterans to define themselves by their accomplishments and activities, and not their injuries or disabilities.
"We've got to start somewhere," Van't Foort challenged. "I just want to help more people and this was the only way I could get a wider reach and I just want to give back to them. I'm just super excited for this!"

If you've got a good bit of experience in amature MMA, chances are you've fought you're share of opponents without knowing anything about them.
Its all too common to have an opponent drop on you right before the fight. You'll have a fight set up for a month, and the guy will just no show for weigh ins. Or even worse, the guy will weigh in and get cold feet and no show fight night.
Its all too common, come fight night, an amature promoter is still trying to match up guys who's opponents dropped etc. Thats also how you end of fighting up a catch weight too.
It sucks if you've been training to fight a certain guy for a month, then you show up and he's disappeared. Then they tell you you can fight Bad Ass #1 who's a weight class above you who also had a no show opponent. Then you gotta make a decision. If you've trained your ass off, chances are you wanna fight.
That's why its not that big of a deal for someone who's been in the game a little bit to take fight someone they don't know much about.
6/18/2008 11:08am, #12
I think I would care, but I know fighters who don't really bother with all that, just go in and fight without thinking about thier opponents.
6/18/2008 11:59am, #13
**** it. Almost all ammy and pro fighters have fought their way up the tournament circuit and fought in many, many smokers - where you fight lots of different people in one day and never know who the hell it's going to be until a match or two before you go in.
It is a luxury that fighters have at the higher levels to usually be able to take the time to prepare for a fight, and only a luxury. Fighters know they must always be prepared to fight anyone at the last minute and are conditioned to do so.

I run shows, many of you know me, I am the promoter of the Warrior challenge, we have smokers, 3 X 3 min bouts & we uses uskba genesis rules, (search Empire State Warrior Challenge on You Tube.)
If you've been to my shows you also know I fight,
Look guys amature fighters should fight who is placed in front of them period! I began as an amatuer boxer, you don't pick & choose who you fight in the golden gloves, you are matched & you take the fight, period.
I can tell you the difference between a fighter & a poser in a 5 min. converstation, a fighter is hungry, if one guy drops out he takes the next bout! A poser thinks he as a first time amatuer deserves front line billing!
A fighter will fight in the back of a gas station in an underground show, A poser needs everything in line!
I love fighters, I hate posers!
& I'm sure i will be ridiculed for advertising in this post, but we still have ammy smoker bouts in our sept 13th show,
@ 215 ,225 ,165, 175, 155. about, fights are about 3 hrs from NYC & Boston, 45 min from albany & 1 1/2 from Hartford Conn.
518-488-1865- it is our 5th show- proceedes go to a soilder who lost his arm in Iraq!

At the lower levels, it's pretty much a given. You fight who is put in front of you. That will probably always be the way it is.
That said, at the higher levels, with much more money on the line, as well as advertising considerations, people will usually know well in advance. The opposite side of the coin would be UFC 85 which just passed. That card was basically a patched up quilt made from the tattered remains of it's original card.
It's kind of interesting because in that regards, I think it actually made the fight card better with the late substitutions in that no one could really thoroughly game plan. They just had to come out and try to run ape **** over the other person.
They could be something said for having too much time to prepare for a known opponent in that case...

While images like this should always be treated with a grain of salt, the photos have the whiff of legitimacy with the side and interior shots of the rear panel resembling teardowns of the innards of the iPad mini. The model in question appears to be from the back of an iPad with cellular connection as given away by the black plastic cover in place of the aluminum at the top. If accurate, it will go a long way to reducing the 'wow' factor when it launches, as did the endless early leaks of the iPhone 5 redesign.
Rumors about when Apple plans to launch the all-new iPad with Retina display vary considerably with some pinning it for a March launch, while others expect it to be launched closer to the middle of the year. Apple surprised with its refresh of the larger iPad, which coincided with the launch of the iPad mini. At the time it replaced the legacy 30-pin adapter port with a new Lightning port, while also giving the device a substantial performance boost with the quad-core A6X.
Evidence also points to a new iPad launching with 128GB of storage, further differentiating the larger iPad from Android tablets as well as its own iPad mini. At this stage, the storage upgrade appears to be headed to the current iPad 4. With competition in the tablet space tougher than ever, it seems as though Apple is readying itself for the next round of skirmishes in order to maintain its market lead.

On the lighter side this morning … anyone know what this is about?
On the corner of 2nd Avenue and Bell Street in Belltown this morning is a sagging sculpture of the Space Needle, eight or nine feet tall, draped in Christmas lights and held together with blue painter's tape.
It's tucked in the corner of an empty fenced-in lot. There's nothing to explain where it came from or why it's there. Is it rejected debris or spontaneous public art? Hard to tell. In the 8 a.m. gray, it looked kind of sad.
A colleague says it's been there at least a week.
Update: In response to DAVIDRF, here's a picture of the sculpture to the right of the Sagging Needle. No information about this one, either:

This scene is the first I wrote in the Victoria Pontifex series. This book turned out to be the third out of the five. It is not yet published…but check my author blog and hopefully someday it will be.
Daisy peered into one porthole after another, ignoring the startled looks from the submarine's crew. In the first place, merfolk were usually polite enough not to peep into people's windows either on land or at sea. Secondly, Daisy was the daughter of a duke, and should really behave with a greater sense of propriety.
Then again, her father had been made a duke by Her Royal Highness Victoria Pontifex only three years ago. Daisy was neither accustomed to the mannerisms of the nobs nor did she particularly care.
Damn his infernal soul to hell… I know he's seeing another woman, some milk-and-water missy from Galicia with icewater in her veins…
Daisy continued to swim from one porthole to another until she came to a large window. She'd only been on board the H.M.S. Tortuga once, but she surmised that the room must be something important to have such a huge piece of glass. The Tortuga, although equipped for defense, was not a battleship. It was a diplomatic vessel, or rather, a set of vessels, fitting together seamlessly as a whole, whose primary function was to look really impressive.
She casually floated in front of the window, not caring who saw her. One officer had his head wrapped in a huge towel, cucumber slices over his eyes and some greenish mud on his face. Another officer lay face down on a padded table, his own personal padding jiggling with the percussion of a masseur's chops.
The object of Daisy's affection and ire was sitting with his feet propped up, being attended by a woman whose skirt was much too short for decency by anyone's standards.
Getting his nails done, of course. I should have known.
No one had noticed her yet. The swim-tail she'd selected that morning was the same color as the coral formations behind her. There was a school of tsipouras following her, and the occasional octopus. She was in the shadow of the vessel, and the salon was well lit.
Daisy swam up to the glass. With her upper body pressed against the window, several heads suddenly snapped in her direction.
She waved.
Daisy made eye-contact with the towel girl. The color drained from the poor thing's face and her mouth formed a silent scream. A series of unfortunate events followed as the scream startled a pedicurist, who must have twisted her tool into a rather unpleasant position because the officer receiving the pedicure kicked violently, sending a tray of implements sailing across the room. As each implement found their mark, the wounded personnel turned first to each other, and then to the window.
With the notable exception of Commodore VonStrakkebroek.
Her wayward lover didn't wave back. He just idly nodded in her general direction as if she was no more important to him than the tsipouras who formed her entourage.
Daisy felt the blood rush to her face, and she lurched away from the window before any of the officers could see her turn purple.
"Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!" she chanted, and the tsipouras scattered. "So he chose a shiny new ship and a complacent dirt-footed lady over me?"
Scanning the surface of the water, she identified the hull of the Death's Embrace. She knew the captain well, and the small ship would suit her needs perfectly.
Daisy gathered speed, launching herself out of the water and grabbing the edge of an opening on the gun deck where she knew there would be no gun.
Hefting herself up in preparation for shifting her body onto the deck, she found herself nose to nose with a smooth-jawed, heavy-lidded pirate. One hank of oily black hair hung down, covering his right eye as effectively as any eye-patch.
"Daisy, I have a confession to make…" he began, but she didn't hear the rest. She lost her grip and splashed right back into the water. A tsipoura laughed at her, then turned tail and exited the vicinity as quickly as possible when she threatened to have him fried.
Émile, the captain of the Death's Embrace, always had a confession to make. If confession truly was good for the soul, Émile would be wearing a halo. Unfortunately, the reason he always had a confession to make was that there was always a list of infractions he'd committed against the crown, the sea, or one of the many wenches who were inexplicably attracted to him.
Daisy tried again to board the ship, this time holding herself just below the gunport for a moment. "Émile, could I have just a bit of room please?" she asked.
He stepped back, looking sour and sad as always. His tight pants hugged his bony hips; his black boots were scuffed and pocked with holes. Daisy flipped herself inside and fiddled with the clasps along the lower edge of her corset. As the light skirt unfurled she deftly rolled the thin fabric of her swim tail down her legs. She squeezed the last drops of moisture from it, then folded and tucked it until it resembled a very respectable reticule.
"Émile, I need you to fire on the Tortuga," she said, storming up the steep steps to the upper deck.
"You want me to attack the H.M.S. Tortuga?" Émile asked, his head cocked to one side, even more hair spilling over his heavily outlined eyes.
"Yes! Post haste. The bastard thinks he can ignore me…" her voice trailed off into an incomprehensible ranting mumble as she made her way to the lower decks.
Daisy grunted with un-ladylike satisfaction when she saw that Émile had kept the furnace stoked. The steam engines had more than enough power for what she wanted. Without waiting for the captain, she commandeered the Death's Embrace and began to pull the various levers that would turn the ship in the right direction.
Émile appeared, frowning. "Well, all right, but I don't think they'll like it." He said and reached around Daisy, flipping up the levers she'd flipped down and yanking a rather intimidating handle from right to eft with a loud clank followed by a rattle and whistle.
"They're not far. You just have to turn so the cannons are aimed the right way." Daisy put her eyes to the belowscope, spinning it until she sighted the large submarine resting on the sea floor. It was an easy target.
Soon the Death's Embrace was creeping slowly out to deeper waters. "Oh, about the canons…" Émile said.
"What about the cannons?"
"Well, the crown confiscated all my powder. I can't fire a single shot. Not even in self-defense." Émile was the perpetual victim of life. Nothing was ever actually his fault.
Daisy seethed, and ran below to see if he had indeed been relieved of all his gun powder. There was not a single barrel in sight. Her gills flapped angrily, trying to take in oxygen from the air. Daisy resisted the urge to dive back into the familiar water from which she could gather all the oxygen she needed. Her great-grandparents had been land-dwellers, her body had not forgotten that. She calmed herself, then returned to the upper deck.
"How close can you get?" she asked.
"Well, I'm directly over them now…" Émile explained, looking through the belowscope. It sounded like an apology.
Daisy's lips curled in a devious smile. "Perfect. Now come help me…"

'30 Rock' Season 6 To Be Its Last, Says Alec Baldwin
- By
- 25 Comments
According to Jack Donaghy himself, NBC's veteran comedy 30 Rock will end after season 6. Alec Baldwin dropped the bomb at a fundraiser last night.
30 Rock is wrapping up its fifth season this month. NBC has renewed the show for a sixth season, which is set to begin in fall 2011 and end around the same time next year – which is also when the contracts for the show's stars (including creator Tina Fey) are set to expire.
The show had remained consistent until this season. The fifth year saw a dramatic drop in first-time viewership, dropping to an average of 4.4 million viewers. The fourth season averaged almost 6 million.
Speaking to an interviewer at the National Dance Institute's fundraiser, Baldwin left little room for interpretation:
"I will tell you one thing and that is next year is our last year of the show. Our contracts are expired [in 2012]."
He went on to say that Tina Fey had a bright future in writing and directing. Her modern work certainly seems to suggest that: in addition to hundreds of episodes of 30 Rock and Saturday Night Live, Fey wrote the script for the well-received teen dramady Mean Girls in 2004. She's also been expanding into movies like Baby Momma and Date Night.
Baldwin isn't without his own drama when it comes to 30 Rock. After an extremely public family squabble in 2007, the actor tried to leave the show to spend time with his daughter. According to Baldwin, NBC refused to release him from his contractual obligations.
It's worth noting that Baldwin has had a producer credit on 30 Rock since 2008. While the title is sometimes more of an honorific than an actual job (especially for major actors in long-running series) it's hard to imagine that he doesn't have at least some information on what's going on.
The show isn't the only NBC comedy on the rocks. Many doubt the The Office will last more than one season after Steve Carrel's last episode (not for lack of trying) and the network cancelled Perfect Couples earlier this year.
That said, two younger Thursday night shows are doing well. NBC renewed Community and Parks and Recreation along with The Office in March. Freshman comedy Outsourced is still up in the air.
No TV show can last forever, and a six-season run is more than most hope for. As a fan of 30 Rock's earlier seasons, I'm pleased to hear that it won't be stretched out long past its shelf life like Friends or Scrubs. The last couple of seasons have seen the show circling familiar themes far too much – how often can they make fun of Liz's single status or Frank's hats before it gets old?
But a lot can change in a year. We'll have to wait and see if NBC tries to keep its self-referential staple alive – or not.
30 Rock airs Thursday night @ 10PM on NBC. The hour-long season 5 finale airs on April 21st.

|Couples learns to master the MASTERS In Augusta Georgia, Fred Couples became the fourth former UH golfer in 14 years to win the most prestigious tournament in professional golf, the Masters. Couples is considered by many to be the best golfer in the world today. Of the former Cougars to have won the Masters, he is the only one to graduate. Nick Faldo, who one back-to-back Masters in '89 and '90, played only the 75-76 season while Fuzzy Zoeller, who one the title in 79, played only the 72-73 season. Couples, who played here from 79-'80, finished with a four day total of 13 under par, 275, two strokes ahead of 76 Masters champion Ray Hoyd. The win gave Couples a $270,000 paycheck, access to a section of the Augusta National clubhouse that is reserved for Masters champions, and use of the green blazer, which has become almost as big as the Masters itself. Couples was the first American to win the tournament in five years. Several UH-exes played in this year's Shell Hous- tonOpen,indudingBlaineMcCallister,BillyRayBrown (who came in third), and favored Couples, unfortunately, the tournament went to University of Maryland-ex Fred Funk. Despite the many PGA wins the UH alumni have racked up lately (four alone to Couples in the first half of '92), no Cougar has ever taken the Houston Open. Golf is one of the richest traditions in Cougar athletics. From 1952 to the present, 16 Cougar golf teams have won National Championships, all under Coach Dave Williams, one of the winningest coaches in College athletics.

Assistant coach has brought several international stars to Gonzaga
Tommy Lloyd was a young assistant at Gonzaga when head coach Mark Few asked him to step up his game.
Lloyd had played two years professionally in Germany and Australia in the late 1990s and Few wanted him to use his connections to broaden GU's recruiting horizons. Lloyd had numerous contacts with former coaches and teammates overseas. He enjoyed traveling.
"It all kind of came together," Lloyd said.
Lloyd's efforts have helped bring several prominent imports to the program, including senior Elias Harris (Germany), sophomore Kevin Pangos (Canada) and freshman Przemek Karnowski (Poland) on the current roster.
"We've got a niche (recruiting internationally)," Few said. "Tommy has done a nice job with that."
Lloyd remains close to Ronny Turiaf, who sparked interest from Gonzaga while playing for the French national team with future NBA players Tony Parker, Boris Diaw and Mickaël Piétrus. In one game, Turiaf broke a backboard.
Turiaf was a raw talent when he arrived in Spokane. He was charismatic and had an obvious passion for the game, but there was something else about Turiaf that impressed Lloyd.
"A lot of people in his camp in Europe were telling him not to come to Gonzaga because they didn't think he'd get playing time here," Lloyd said. "He wasn't worried about instant playing time. He was worried about getting good competition and needing time to develop. He literally had a long-range plan."
Austin Daye's early exit for the NBA Draft created an opening for Harris. The 6-8 forward responded by averaging 14.9 points and 7.1 rebounds as a freshman.
Pangos' performance at a camp prompted a Canadian junior national team coach, who was a friend of Lloyd's, to make a phone call.
"He told me, 'I just saw a kid that has Gonzaga written all over him,' " Lloyd said. "From Day 1, I knew it was a perfect fit for both sides."
Pangos led Gonzaga in scoring last season and earned All-WCC honors. Before Pangos committed, Lloyd was in the stands when Pangos and Canada faced Poland at the U-17 World Championships in Hamburg, Germany.
"I just saw this massive kid with great hands and he threw in a couple of jump hooks," Lloyd said of his first impressions of Karnowski.
The 7-foot-1 center made an impression on Pangos, too. They later teamed up at the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland.
"We got to know each other and built a relationship that way," Pangos said. "I just gave him my opinion of what it's like here, how much I loved it and tried to give him an idea about U.S. schools, not just Gonzaga, and he ended up liking it."
Karnowski visited Gonzaga and Cal, but he turned down overtures from Ohio State, Marquette, Kansas and Duke.
"I had exams to take (in Poland) and I really liked Gonzaga," Karnowski said. "I know Kevin Pangos for two years; that was also a plus. Gonzaga was in contact with me for two years."
Gonzaga faces competition on two fronts when recruiting internationally – other U.S. schools, and pro teams in the prospect's homeland. The latter remains a possibility, even after a player joins GU's program. Former Zag Mathis Mönninghoff, who saw limited time in his two seasons, is playing professionally in Germany.
Harris has been considered an NBA prospect since his arrival at Gonzaga. He also could have returned to Europe and made big money – perhaps $300,000 or more annually.
"I started something here and I'm not a guy that starts something and leaves and starts something else, just like Momma tells me," Harris said. "Now I'm close, I'm going to graduate on time and it's going to be a win-win situation if I can fulfill my dream and play basketball at a high level and make a good amount of money."
Lloyd said Gonzaga is an attractive option.
"They're comfortable here," he said. "And we have a track record with them and we can point to past successes."

Patrick Demarchelier
Backlighting is part of her contract.
(You may, or may not, recall a similar post earlier this year where I and some Twitter friends made our picks for Idol judges. This is a refashioned look, now that the rumor mill has began churning.)
American Idol will survive without Simon Cowell — at least for one season. And the singing will certainly go on without Ellen DeGeneres, who never gelled as a judge; and Kara DioGuardi, who rarely offered any insightful commentary. (Overuse of the word "artistry" doesn't help anyone.)
Expect the show to go at least one go-round without its star judge before being overtaken by The X Factor in fall 2011. The U.K.-based singing talent show that made Leona Lewis a star will be helmed by Cowell, who has hinted at working with another ex-judge, Paula Abdul. (Yes, please.)
Cowell's opinions, though often harsh, were the only ones that truly mattered.
"It's time," says Trenyce, who finished top five during Idol's second season. "Sure, fans will migrate. He's the driving force."
Jennifer Lopez is all but a lock on the refashioned judging panel, and it's not a bad move. She was engaging during a season 6 mentoring slot and has the experience needed to make critical assessments.
Not the best singer, you say? Neither was Paula Abdul. Adding Lopez to the mix could be a much-needed shot in the arm.
The other rumored contender, Steven Tyler, is a bit iffy. Sure, he has the knowledge and the attitude. But it's hard to imagine Tyler sitting still while others have their say. On the other hand, a live meltdown would be sort of amazing.
So who to fill Cowell's tight black T-shirt? Here are a few suggestions:
Mathew Knowles: The Houston-based mogul has the chops and the no-nonsense work ethic to rival Cowell's résumé. And he could use some positive press. Plus, can you say a week of Beyoncé mentoring and tunes? (Metal gloves optional.)
Clive Davis: Few people know hit records, and true stars, better than Davis. He proved an affable, accessible guest judge in the past. Having him on the panel would give it some real credibility.
Whitney Houston: The put-upon diva mentored contestants earlier this year on the U.K. X Factor and didn't mince words. She'd likely give Idol's newbies a harsh dose of reality. Even at low-wattage, Houston is still an icon.
Dr. Luke: Pop music's go-to producer (Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry, Ke$ha) knows hit records. He'd likely zero in on the voices and personalities with a real shot at stardom.
Ozzy Osbourne: He's a reality-TV vet, a music legend and a funny guy. Idol might have to invest in a translator, but Osbourne's kooky charm would be a welcome addition.
Kimberly Caldwell: Who better than someone who's been through the fire? The season 2 alum and Katy native also has a ton of TV and hosting experience, so she'd be a natural on-camera. Say, when is Ryan Seacrest's contract up? We wouldn't be sad.

Finding romance is hard, many girls have found comfort in the reliable pattern that romantic comedies follow when it comes to finding love.
Generally speaking, the pattern goes as follows: there is a single girl; she's kind of different from her other friends but endearing none the less. She is usually pining away for a guy – enter Mr. Wrong/Mr. Right Now – this guy has some kind of rugged or simple attractive quality to him that makes him generically swoon-worthy; whether that is the size of his arms, the dimples that appear when he smiles, mesmerizing eyes or if he just appears unattainable he is the guy that ladies know all too well.
Whether the leading lady ever bags the guy or only dreams of landing the guy; that single girl in the audience completely understands the situation. All of this is key to the plot because this allows for the leading man to enter the story and catch her unaware; the presence of Mr. Wrong allows for Mr. Right to be "oh-so unexpected" and all the more romantic when they two leading characters realize that all along "you were right in front of me…"
Well, the idealized process of falling of love can be dangerous in your real life love life. In a study posed by the Journal of Communication in 2006 researchers studied college students that frequently watched romantic comedies and found that they were "…more likely to believe that their partner should know their innermost feelings and that their wedding day will be the happiest day of their lives." (Rozenfeld, 2013)
Relationships are hard work and this is not to say that we can't get entertainment out of romantic comedies, but seriously, we're watching the highlights and lowlights of a relationship in about ninety minutes – they can't really showcase the really mundane parts of dating like the multiple times you have to ask you partner to not leave their socks under their desk…I'm just saying.
The spin of the movie reel relationship might strike a chord with the leading ladies inside us all – maybe only aspects for some women – but they are rarely a true depiction of love and romance and if we are trying to have our life emulate this form of art, we may be facing a world of disappointment.
Jeremy Olson, the author of the study and assistant professor of communications at Albion, states that "the biggest factor contributing to divorce is going into marriage with unrealistic expectations." Our partners do not know what we are thinking unless we talk to them about it, and finding love in an unexpected friendship, well that does sound pretty perfect but it's not always the case; some friends are just friends.
So ladies, put some distance between you and the chick flick roles.See some words or phrases that you don't understand? Check out The Dragon's Lexicon.
