Falcons, Lady Bulldogs win UCT championships
Playing three games in as many nights, fourth seeded Ingomar prevailed on Saturday to win the 2013 Union County Tournament championship after a 68-59 win over New Albany.
Having already defeated West Union and top seeded East Union to make it to the finals, Ingomar played the Bulldogs close in the first half, trailing by five at the break. The Falcons scored the first seven points of the third quarter, taking the lead on a basket by Sam Cobb. Trading the lead throughout the frame and tied in the final seconds, an off balanced three-pointer by Henry Foster gave the Falcons a 47-44 lead, as well as the momentum heading into the fourth quarter.
Ingomar controlled the final quarter, hitting 11-of-15 free throws to pull away for the win.
"We played well on Thursday night, and last night, I thought we had a lack of focus at times," Ingomar coach Jonathan Ashley said. "Tonight at the half, down five, I told them that we've played them in 10 quarters this year, and there's not a lot of difference between us, but the maroon team has made the big plays every time. I challenged them, and then we opened the third quarter scoring the first points, and that was on good half court defense, touching the ball and finishing it in transition when we had the opportunity to."
Ashley credited his senior leaders, Henry Foster and Devonte Williamson, for their effort throughout the tournament, averaging 29 and 11 points per game during the tournament.
"They've been good senior leaders all year," Ashley said. "They've stepped forward for us all year, and at South Pontotoc earlier this season, Devonte told me that he has never won a tournament, and they've wanted to make it to the finals and win one. It feels good for them, I know."
The county title is the first for Ingomar since the school won on its home floor in 2010. Ingomar made it to the title game in 2012, falling to New Albany, 88-80. This year's win also snaps the Bulldogs' two-year win streak as tournament champions.
"I knew, looking at what I had when I came here, and based on what was returning for the other schools, that we could have a chance to do this, if we play well," Ashley said. "It wasn't easy, and I'm proud of the way they played."
Lady Bulldogs hold on to defeat West Union
The final three minutes of the game were played without Lady Bulldog star Jazmine Spears, but New Albany did not skip a beat, taking its fourth county championship in five years.
"We didn't play very sharp tonight," New Albany coach John Stroud said. "Anytime you play a county school, they're going to play tougher against you. West Union played very well, and they're a scrappy group. We played a little tight tonight and fought through some foul trouble."
The foul trouble primarily affected Spears, who left the game at the 3:18 mark in the fourth. The Lady Bulldogs had a double-digit lead at that point, but the Lady Eagles made one final push before eventually falling, 65-52.
The Lady Bulldogs led throughout, but West Union fought to within three at the half after Julianna Garner hit a three-pointer, making it 29-26.
Spears scored 11 points in the third, giving the Lady Bulldogs a double-digit lead, but sat out toward the end of the frame after picking up her fourth foul. The Lady Eagles fought to within eight points in the fourth, but New Albany put away the game on the free throw line.
Spears led all scorers with 33 points, while Garner led West Union with 24 points. Hannah McQuary added 12 points for the Lady Eagles.
"She missed a lot of shots, but she made some big ones, but I'm glad we were able to finish it out without her on the court for the final four minutes," Stroud said of Spears. "That's big for us, because we never play without her on the floor, so we beat a good team with her on the bench."
This year marked the eighth-straight appearance for New Albany in the girls' championship game. This is also the fourth championship in five years, with Myrtle holding the one win over the Lady Bulldogs last season.

Add the refreshing taste of orange to your roast duckling. This recipe is sure to become a holiday favorite in your home.
Now you can enjoy duckling more often than you thought possible. Specialty grocery stores and butcher shops often carry duckling from farm-raised sources.
Piercing the skin of the duckling releases much of the unwanted fat. Using a fork, pierce the skin all over, especially at the breast, but do not pierce the flesh.

While browsing the aisles, you'll find brown rice, whole-wheat bread, and quinoa—to name only a few. These foods can fortify you against diseases like heart disease and diabetes. Are you filling up on enough of them? Cracking the Nut to a Longer Life Humans have nibbled on nuts for centuries. Archeologists discovered almonds stashed in King Tut's tomb in Egypt. They also unearthed walnuts from the ruins of Pompeii. A long-time dietary staple, nuts come packed with nutrients. A fact that could explain why a recent study found eating more of them may lead to a longer life. Many Older Adults Struggle With Pain Pain is like an alarm system. It signals when something is wrong in your body. It can last only minutes or linger for months. For many older adults, pain may be a constant companion, suggests a recent study. It may even limit daily activities. Being Bilingual May Boost Brain Health Dementia is a growing threat to more Americans. In fact, experts predict that cases of Alzheimer's disease—the most common type of dementia—will triple by 2050. An aging population partly accounts for this uptick. Want to Control Your Weight? Add Brisk Activity to Your Day Finding time for fitness is important, especially if you are trying to lose or control your weight. Thanks to a recent study, fitting it in may be easier than you think. Strength Training Can Pump Up Your Health When you think of strength training, your first thought may be of a bodybuilder laboring to lift heavy weights. It need not be so extreme, though. Everyone can reap the health benefits of muscle strengthening. Unfortunately, too few Americans are minding their muscles, according to a recent government study. 5 Foods That May Lengthen—or Shorten—Your Lifespan Science may be tweaking the old adage "you are what you eat."

Solving the Riddle of Rheumatoid Arthritis Jul 15, 2013 - The final frontier-it isn't necessarily space. A lot closer to home, the human body holds just as much mystery. Consider rheumatoid arthritis (RA). After decades of research, scientists still can't pinpoint the exact cause of the disease. The latest studies suggest a complex combination of genetics and unhealthy habits, putting some of the power of prevention in our hands. Adult Day Care Can Ease Caregiver Stress Aug 15, 2013 - Caring for a parent or another older adult isn't easy. You may feel overwhelmed and stressed out. If you are yearning for some relief, adult day care may be the solution. Research shows it not only helps those enrolled in such programs, but their caregivers, too.

For anyone else who was hoping for more info on this - The new He-Man armor is actually a new figure for next year named 'Snake Armor He-Man'. Rather than being a permanent new look for He-Man, this is actually another He-Man variation figure similar to the Jungle Attack, Martial Arts, and Ice Armor He-Man figures. It's actually pretty cool in my opinion - very interesting looking, very much in keeping with the character and feel of He-Man and certainly much preferrable to a simple repaint of the standard He-Man figure like Smash Blade He-Man.
The reason for the Snake Armor is to better equip He-Man for battling the Snake Men, who, according to Mattel, are going to be a major focus in both the toy line and the second season of the animated series for next year. Storywise, the armor equates to the idea that "the power of Grayskull protects and prepares He-Man." Thus, with King Hiss and the Snake Men coming - the old furry loin cloth and metal straps simply won't do; He-Man is going to need better protection than that, and the 'power of Grayskull' decides to give him an armor upgrade.
I can't wait! Here's a pic for those of you unable to get old of the recent Toyfare magazine:

Shares of mobile camera sensor maker OmniVision Technologies (OVTI) are up $2.19, or 13%, at $18.30, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q3 revenue and earnings per share that topped analysts' expectations, and forecast this quarter's results higher as well.
Revenue in the three months ended in January fell 17% year over year, to $352 million, yielding EPS of 69 cents, excluding some costs.
Analysts had, on average, been modeling $325.7 million and 35 cents.
Note that EPS was boosted by a one-time after-tax gain of 28 cents per share on the value of the company's investment in a Chinese entity, China WLCSP Limited, which went public during the quarter, OmniVision said.
CEO Shaw Hong remarked that the results were better than the company expected, "and we continued to report improvements on multiple financial metrics, including gross margin and cash position. He said the company's "PureCel" sensor products "are gaining traction in the market" and that "We are very excited about our new product lineup."
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue of $275 million to $305 million, and EPS of 19 cents to 35 cents. That compares to the average estimate for $285 million and 22 cents.

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
This is a fly I turn to in summer/fall when there is some color in the river, just like George McLeod does himself. Not enough to completely color it up; but enough so that it is not gin clear on to about having 4' of visibility.
Johnson's DEEP PURPLE SPEY was tied by Walt to be a spey style fly with the colors of the PURPLE PERIL. It could be considered to be a spey version or variant of the well-known McLeod's purple fly.
Steelhead Fly of the week Purple Peril
Many people credit the McLeods, father Ken and son George, with introducing the color purple to steelhead fisherman. And this is the fly that they did it with. Now it is one of the dominant colors in the sport. The fly was made from some purple materials they received in error (they had ordered claret) from Herters. The fly is still used today in various forms from the rivers of the west and the great lakes.
Hook: Up eye salmon hook.
Tail: Purple hackle fibers.
Rib: Oval silver tinsel.
Body: Purple chenille.

Handbags and accessories maker Coach (COH) had a great day Tuesday, with its fiscal third-quarter results and sales increases powering the shares to a 9.8% gain.
Today, the stock is up 1.5% to about $56.30, and with a day to reflect, the reaction has been slightly more mixed. As The Wall Street Journal reports:
The uneven earnings performance [from the second quarter to third quarter] underscores the challenges facing Coach and [incoming CEO Victor] Luis, currently president and chief commercial officer, as the company seeks to broaden its offerings yet again.
As an example of how product extensions can quickly add up, Mr. Luis said Coach's newly expanded men's category is on pace to exceed $600 million in global sales this year, up from $100 million two years ago. Yet the company has faced tough competition from rivals including Michael Kors (KORS), who analysts say have done a better job of courting younger customers.
That theme was expanded today by Cowen analyst Faye Landes who, after a deep-dive look at both Coach and Kors, came away reiterating a Neutral rating for Coach and Outperform for Kors:
The Cowen Consumer Tracking Survey indicates that Coach still has strong brand equity and an enthusiastic purchaser base, which certainly gives management a powerful base to work with, but, as we've noted before, we think that Coach's turnaround is likely to be an iterative effort…Enthusiasm for KORS among fashionistas and heavy handbag purchasers, which we document in the body of our report, bodes well for the brand in the near and intermediate term.
Meanwhile, following the earnings Baird Equity Research analyst Erika Maschmeyer raised her price target for Coach stock to $61, but kept her Neutral rating. Maschmeyer downgraded Coach to Neutral on Friday and had cut the price target to $59 from $61. She said then the company was a good longer-term value play for investors, a stance she repeated today.
No such equivocation at CLSA, however, where Barbara Wyckoff upgraded coach to a Buy and set a 12-month price target of $71, 28% higher than yesterday's close. Her previous target was $60.
Coach's 3Q results reinforce our view that management is working hard to improve the handbag mix plus build other categories such as women's footwear and men's. These categories help drive traffic into its own stores and lessen COH's dependence on handbags. Our FY13 EPS is now $3.70 from $3.60; FY14 EPS goes to $4.20 from $4.11. We upgrade to BUY from O-PF as we have a higher level of confidence post 3Q in COH's ability to execute this turnaround.
As I've noted before, Barron's has been bullish on Coach for a while, a position we reiterated yesterday in our Take column (sub required) where Johanna Bennett wrote:
With the stock 26% below its 52-week high of $75.87, we think it has room to run as the company's ongoing global expansion and aggressive efforts to rejuvenate formerly sagging sales should pay off.
Add a 2.3% dividend yield (assuming the higher rate with Tuesday's dividend hike), and Coach deserves better than the 13.6 multiple on fiscal 2014 earnings estimates it now fetches.

BOSTON THEATER MARATHON | Now in its 11th year, the BTM proves it can go the distance by stretching out to two days, with the idea of eventually expanding to "multiple venues, hundreds of performers, and thousands of cultural tourists and Boston theater patrons — not unlike Edinburgh's famed festival." Wow! For now, however, Day One is a "warm-up lap," with three staged readings of new plays — one of them Theresa Rebeck's The Novelist, with Huntington Theatre artistic director Peter Dubois directing. Day Two will bring the usual extravaganza of 50 10-minute plays; if the one you're watching doesn't grab you, you don't have long to wait for another.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING | Beatrice and Benedick are at it again professing their distaste for each other — until the mystery mash notes surface — in Shakespeare's bittersweet comedy about love and honor, as Actors' Shakespeare Project takes itself to Roxbury. Even the title's not as innocent as it might look when you check out what Elizabethan slang has to say about "nothing."

Family therapy is full of richness. All families are different yet very much the same. There are many different dynamics at work with families. There are parent and sibling sub-systems, coalitions and alignments within families. Families can be very complex units yet very enriching to their members. I enjoy working with families, especially the challenges of the developmental life stages, birth, toddlers, young adolescents, young adults, mid-life, old age. Each offers their unique challenges. The benefits come with setting clear goals, objectives, rules, consequences to breaking the rules and developing open and respectful lines of communication.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

Your family is the center of your world. When there is sadness or conflict within your family it is difficult to feel good about life. I want to help your family heal and grow. As a family therapist I help individuals and couples overcome life's challenges including divorce or affairs. Marriage counseling can help you learn to communicate more effectively and to feel closer and more connected to your spouse. Many families have challenges. With commitment and patience we can work to overcome the challenges in your family. We can restore the passion and affection that you once shared. I know this is not easy. But your family is worth the effort. Love grows here.
Joyce Colburn, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker

My approach to family therapy begins with using my training to determine who, in addition to the primary client, needs treatment. Sessions may include various family configurations (both parents, one parent and child, members of extended family, or a single individual) and treatment includes strategic family therapy to improve communication and resolve underlying conflict.
Dr. Adina Goldstein, DSW, LCSW

123 Harbor Drive. #706, Stamford, Connecticut 06902
Many families face challenges at one time or another. When functioning well, families can work through these issues together and come out stronge. At times, however, families experience challenges that are difficult to resolve by themselves. For example: conflicts between parents and adolescent children, coping with illness of a family memeber, father/mother relationship with their children, or helping elderly parents. As a clinician I work jointly with members of families and extended families to help your family develop the tools to overcome these challenges together, to strengthen your relationships with one another, and to create a supportive environment for all.

I had to check for a moment that this wasn't a collection of my own! Great image and an even better taste!
Ok, so here is some evidence that explore scores are not (simply) related to explore scores: 661.org.uk/misc/explore_scores_and _numbers_of_snapshots.html
I don't know if you are referring to this shot's high score or its longevity at the top of the table. With regard to the latter I think explore scores have not been updated for six months, so I just got lucky there. As far as snapshots are concerned, I'm not sure how true that is. I will use my stats database to see if there is any correlation between explore score and snapshots.
It would appear that having lots of snapshots is the key to a high Explore Score. Either that, or the world is fascinated with the minutia of your life, Kilgore.
A new self-portrait is available here: www.gigapan.com/gigapans/120810 . Version 3.0 will be a gigapan of my sock drawer.
this is a fantastic example of what is beyond the fields we already explored in photography, it is a great work Kilgore!
So Harry is a 'playboy' prince? I didn't know that. Also, if her majesty would like me to gigapan any of her collections or the state of her carpets then I will be only to happy to oblige (I will need travelling expenses ma'am).
You should tell the Queen of your good fortune and seek her royal permission to stand just inside the Palace balcony and take a GigaPan when Prince Harry gets married ... you might mention to her that practice makes perfect :) www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2 177933/London-Olympics-2012-Prince-Harry-Prince-Wi lliam-Kate-Middleton-30-different-events.html?ICO= most_read_module
198! Amazing! Who needs to take gigapans of presidential inaugurations or hot women in Shanghai wearing red stilettos? :-)
Here you go ... another winning competition for gigapan.com/gigapans/105851/snapsho ts/282427 ... all I did was to rotate my iPad and then could easily see the words ... SINGAPORE ... which translates into Bingo ... another Cuban cigar :) You are the one that should get a case of Cuban cigars as this GigaPan has now reached an astronomical altitude in explore score ... 198
Aye, strange but true. With a massive tally of 278 views this image is apparently more popular than e.g. the one of Obama's inaugration with its 11 million plus views. I know that 'popularity' is a misnomer and what is actually being measured is 'explorability' but it still seems odd to me that my 287 viewers have looked at more pixels in my image than the 11 million plus viewers looked at in the Obama gigapan. I asked Customer Service if there was a bug in the Explore Score calculation but they didn't give me a straight answer (yet).
This is indeed the top GigaPan (at the moment), and I hope to be able to afford a ticket to see the real thing!
The World's top Gigapan? Shom mishtake shurley?
When I visit Bath, will I be able to go into Kilgore's home and see this "event"??? ... sort of like going into Herschel's home and seeing his workbench: gigapan.com/gigapans/36546
Truly amazing shot(s)! I can't stop exploring! I like the mix of the average quality of the family photo taken I believe years ago with the quality of the rest of the GigaPan.
The compiler of explore scores moves in mysterious ways!
Kilgore ... this GigaPan of yours took off quicker than a rocket ... when you did the stats less than a week ago, the explore score was zero, and now in only a couple of days, it has reached an explore score of 177 ... pretty astonishing ... congratulations ... you may want to reload the Bath Sweet Shop GigaPan ... it might goto 277 :)
Thanks guys. @Richard, no, but you are close in some ways. Here is a clue: I was with somebody you know quite well when I took that shot.
Well done! It's sharp near to far.
Nice job K661. Is that the University of Bath gigapan hanging in the upper right?

Dark-haired, mustachioed, and blessed with a bona fide Maine accent, Phil takes the stage, the first performer of the evening. He reads to us the story he's written in his black book — a story, as far as I can tell, about a local Red Sox fan who schemes to steal that triumphant team's trophy when it comes through town (spoiler: fake blood — ketchup — is involved). Phil reads fast; his narrative arc is simple and offers few surprises; the audience, scattered through the North Star Café, seems alternately bewildered, appreciative, and amused.
"Phil is like the unofficial mascot here," whispers host Nate Amadon, before Phil finishes up, closes his book, and hops off the stage to applause.
Next up is Sean, a young man with an open face, big eyes, and a hip-hop tone — if Phil wasn't your stereotypical spoken-word performer (bespectacled, patchouli-doused), neither is Sean. He blasts his way through three pieces about poverty, classism, and hating George Bush; he finishes with the soft admission that he feels safe in his woman's arms. The audience is stunned silent — until they clap wildly when he's done.
Such is the start of a Tuesday night at the North Star Café, where Amadon, Port Veritas (the word-arts group he co-founded), and other local spoken-word/poetry enthusiasts have reincarnated the tradition that once thrived in Portland — first at The Skinny and Geno's, and then at Acoustic Coffee (after a short-lived, ill-advised stint at the Alehouse), before that establishment closed its doors at the beginning of 2007. In fact, the open mic night is popping up all over — Slainte, Threeways, the Big Easy, and Dogfish Bar and Grille all have their own versions, in addition to the North Star — and modest (but not meager) crowds are attending.
"Some are writers who won't tell you," says Gil Helmick, who helps to organize the nights at the North Star, of the audience members and performers. "Some are writers who will tell you too often" — we've all met those — but most of all, Helmick sees evidence of "talent, energy, openness, and eagerness."
"It's people expressing what's in their souls," says Marie Villanucci, 52, an audience member who shyly admits that she's a "closet writer." Getting up on stage, she adds, takes "amazing bravery" — which she has yet to muster.
But David Viney, a goateed 20-year-old from Scarborough, thrives on sharing his work with others. "To express yourself in front of the crowd is like relief for me," says Viney, who speaks regularly at North Star Tuesdays.
Part of the draw, for performers and spectators alike, is the diversity of forms that the open mic can take. Many focus on acoustic music; the Big Easy's Monday events are specifically called "hip-hop open mics;" there's the Second Tuesday Slam at the North Star, where poet-participants compete in three rounds for "$10, a Twinkie, the championship belt ... and a chance to go to the National Poetry Slam Championship in 2008." Helmick also helped launch the first Tuesday Speaking Jazz Series at the North Star, at which local jazz musician Jesse Lynch performs spontaneous musical improvisations with feature acts as well as random open-mic'ers.
"You find some real gems," Helmick says. "They run the gamut from people who come out of nowhere and take your breath away, to people who should be saving this for a group therapy session."
But then, isn't that part of the allure?

Reviews of this property
Apartment well located and very clean pity the double room is noisy!
Appartement bien situé et très propre dommage que la chambre double soit bruyante!
The apartment was fine to spend three people. Everything you needed was provided. It was clean and tidy. The traffic that day and night noise indicates we could shut by night, only the windows of the kitchen and do the bathroom open (back) and keep the doors open. Because you would do from the bedroom to the balcony doors are open there was a lot of noise inside. You have to be fit and healthy because you have to take stairs to the fourth floor.
Tania is a very friendly hostess.
Het appartement was prima om met drie mensen door te brengen. Alles wat je nodig hebt was aanwezig. Het was er schoon en netjes. Het stadsverkeer wat dag en nacht lawaai geeft konden we buitensluiten door 's nachts alleen de raampjes van de keuken en de badkamer open te doen (achterkant) en de deuren open te houden. Want zou je de balkondeuren van de slaapkamer open doen dan kwam er veel herrie binnen. Je moet wel gezond en fit zijn want je moet met trappen naar de vierde verdieping.
Tania is een zeer vriendelijke hostess.
Reviews for this host's other properties
It was comfortable, clean and calm. We were always welcome at the host.
This wasabi yellow apartment is at the central Lisboa, very close to everything and good restaurants and fado bar, we love Alfama area, so beautiful! Very good communication and good experience! Would love to come back again!
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Lisboa. Very friendly people. "Check-In" and "Check-Out" were very uncomplicated. A very good restaurant, a supermarket and a bakery are only 3 minutes to walk away. The apartment is clean and it´s a perfect place to start visiting Lisboa by feet or using the famous tram 28 near to the apartment.
Very nice and modern apartment with everything you need. Next to the famous tram 28 station Graca on the hill with a lot of nice reataurants and bakeries. The apartment is very clean on the second floor without elevator but also in a quiet area in one of the most beautiful city I ever visit.
Staying in the apartment from Tiago was a very nice experience. The apartment was incredible clean. We had all the facilities to spend a very nice week.
Antonio who did the check-in for us, was available all the time I need, and this was much appreciated to me.
I highly recommend you to stay in this apartment and enjoy Lisbon.
I'll be back there for sure.
Thanks for making our stay comfortable.
The positives:The appartment was clean, modern and cozy!
The negatives: noisy (neighbours) upstairs and a hilly area.

The real test for a new pair of shorts is getting out of the shop and down into the drops of your bars. When you don sub-par shorts, seams start to rub, fabric bunches, you sweat through at the hottest spots, and, after a bit, some of the high-wear areas get threadbare. This is where Giordana's implementation of specific fabrics in targeted body panels differentiates its new FormaRed Carbon Shorts from others on the market.
Starting with the bulk of the shorts' construction, Giordana went with its compressive HC-44 fabric. With a nylon/Lycra composition weight of 180g/m2, the FormaRed Carbon (FRC) shorts take on a nearly medical compression level (roughly 240g/m2). And while dissecting the fabric title, we find that 'HC' designates 'high-compression,' while '44' stands for the material's threads per centimeter (TPC). As Giordana puts it, the highest prior thread count hovered around 36 TPC. This means that, compared to most competition, the HC-44 is softer and more conforming, and it has a higher level of wicking capability. And remarkably, HC-44 achieves this at a lighter weight than most Lycra blends. This is important because, as you'll have noticed if you've worn compressive fabrics in the past, they're heavy in comparison to traditional Lycra. HC-44 encompasses their key traits, like inhibiting muscle oscillation and promoting a positive circulation, without the detriment of a weighty, poorly breathing composition.
Moving to the inner legs and seat panel, Giordana placed an even stronger fabric called Zaffiro. This material is a certified Power Lycra with a composition weight of 200g/m2. But, unlike HC-44, Zaffiro features a purposefully denser weave with Giordana's SUPER 40 construction technology. This guarantees a continuation of HC-44's aforementioned characteristics, only with a higher level of durability and friction-reduction at the highest points of saddle abrasion. Additionally, Giordana placed its new Ametista fabric around the waist as part of its Core Contour System. Again, we see a return of 200g/m2 Lycra, only now, Ametista is characterized by its woven-in carbon threads -- thus, the 'Carbon' in 'FormaRed Carbon.' With the carbon filament, material stretch is controlled, but not just in the supportive sense. Basically, the carbon reinforces the honeycomb-knit Lycra, making it lighter yet stronger, and allowing it universally stretch in all directions, not just four-way. Additionally, the carbon fiber blocks out static and rogue atmospheric electrical interference for an increased anaerobic output and a delayed onset of fatigue.
As for the fit, the FRC benefits from Giordana's innovative contoured cut. Designed to eliminate excess material, each panel follows the contours of your body in the cycling position, creating a 'second skin' effect that makes movements on the bike feel natural and less restricted. By following your shape, the shorts have fewer creases, meaning less drag and more comfort. To secure this position, Giordana incorporated its AeroLite leg cuffs. This design uses a low-profile, seamless cuff that holds strong while maintaining an aerodynamic presence. And for further comfort, the entirety of the shorts has been constructed with four-needle flatlock stitched seams.
The shorts' chamois is one that Giordana touts as being the most advanced in the industry -- the Cirro O.F. It's the first chamois we've heard of with Aloe Vera particles directly infused into the threads of the microfiber. Aloe is not only a natural bacteria fighter, but its implementation in the fiber provides a cooling effect that protects and heals during activity. Below the skin layer, the Cirro has a 4mm-thick pad of waffled-texture expanding memory foam. The texture aids in ventilation by moving moisture to the perimeter of the chamois where accelerated evaporation can occur. The final layer of the chamois is a thick section of hand-sewn open-cell padding with recessed channels for pressure relief. These technologies amount to a chamois that won't get wet and nasty 100 miles into a ride, let alone 20.
The FormaRed Carbon Shorts are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the color Black/black.

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Something that Superman, had he been written correctly, also should have been doing.
Not murdering them himself by bringing buildings down around their ears like a flailing child.
Those innocent people who could have run away. Or who Supes could have saved another way?And I have to disagree about your "psycho version of Supes" statement. He pleaded with, begged Zod to stop the heat vision blasts. Trying to look for the good in Zod as his parents would have wanted him to. Since he had never encountered Kryptonians before, there's no real way he could've known he might actually harm Zod. I saw that more as an act of desperation. Of wanting so much to not see those innocent people perish, he was willing to do something which pained him very much.
The version of Superman in this film has no moral code. He's a destructive menace who's a petty jerk.
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
I'll have to watch the movie again, because maybe I was so happy that Superman didn't spend the entire movie pining over Lois Lane and spying on her, that I missed some stuff. But I got the impression that he had a very strong moral code.
The thing with knocking the buildings down did bother me a bit, but think that had more to do with Zod keeping the fight in the city and not allowing Superman to control the fight. Again, I'll have to rewatch to see if that was the case. However, at worst, it's no different than all the destruction the Avengers caused in NYC.
Remember, Superman had spent his entire life surrounded with normal human beings, so he was used to being the strongest person around. Zod not only gained Superman's powers by the end of the movie, but he also had a lifetime of combat training to draw from. So, of course he was going to make Superman look like an amateur, because Superman WAS an amateur.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I'm not quite seeing the pettiness and lack of moral code either.
Time and time again we saw Clark putting himself on the line even though no one asked him to and no one put him up to it. To me, pettiness would have been him realizing what he's capable of but not using it in any way to better those around him, not saving anyone in distress. As well, it just isn't possible for him to be everywhere at once so as much as some of us would like to believe in the ideal that he can save everyone, it's not feasible. We see in the flashbacks that Martha suggests focusing solely on her voice to drown out all the thousands of other voices that haunt him and that lesson gets hammered home as we see him focus on the task at hand (trying to neutralize Faora and Namek in Smallville) rather than mull all possible courses of action.
On a lighter note, did anyone catch the Easter eggs? Lexcorp tanker, Wayne Enterprises satellite, Sullivan's Tractors.

Another season comes and goes in a blink of an eye. Due to work I was able to start this season on Monday afternoon. When I drove into the farm I saw a flock of 25 and decided to circle in front of them. As I got situated in a fence row I let out a soft yelp and had a hen answer me with a kiki kiki cut. Within 5 minutes she and the rest of the flock was within 15 yds. I decided this was way to quick of a hunt and let them stroll on by me.
On tuesday morning, I watched the field that I had seen the birds the day before and I end up counting over 100 birds. The birds were staying pretty chatty until a nice shower came in and seemed to wash the birds away. It amazes me sometimes on how quickly they can just disappear. Later that afternoon I set up where I thought the turkeys had exited the field. I was hoping they would come back before bed time. While Im sitting there waiting it started to thunder. Every time it thunder all you heard was YAAMP YAAMP YAAMP. Man it seemed like there was a crap load of jakes. Every time it thundered the birds were closer. Then for whatever reason I thought I need a better set up. I crawled 2 feet and , PUTT PUTT, so I stayed still. The hen moved closer to figure out what I was. I had a panel fence and some brush inbetween us as cover. She got 10 ft from me and I decided to take her out thru a little opening. BOOM I missed and was thinking how in the heck did I miss that bird. Then I noticed to small sapplings had sacrificed their life for the hen. I heard birds running thru the woods so I moved over there real quick and found that one dumb bird that has to see whats going on and too stupid to follow every one else. I got a nice jake that had a thick beard but Im assuming it had beard rot because the tips were white and didnt stick out past the feathers.
Wednesday.. my daughter, who is 4, and I went out to watch the birds. We saw the same birds in the field and she truly enjoyed watching them and telling me that we had to get a big daddy turkey. Unfortunately, we never did see any daddy turkeys so we came home without a bird.
Thursday.. My nephew had a dentist appointment at dinner so his mom decided to let me take him turkey hunting that morning. I set him up where I had been seeing all the turkeys in field. Guess what..... yep the birds never show up. We found one flock of hens and poults but I could not call them birds up.
Friday....That morning I decided I wanted to hide behind the turkeys bedroom door at first light. When the day light came up I counted 17 birds ranging from 30 to 80 yards away from me. I sat back listened to the birds and never made a sound or moved a muscle. When the birds started to fly down into the woods I counted 50 birds. The birds looked like they were going away from me but I waited untill all the birds had flown down before I made my first call. I threw out some cutts, yelps, and some hard loud purrs. After a few minutes I see a hen to my right but she is moving away from me. I also see 3 birds at my left and coming in my direction so I point my shotgun in that way. The birds were going down in a low spot where I couldn't see them. I was looking to my left waiting on the birds when I noticed a hen right in front of me at 10 yards and then another and another and another and another. Yes I had the oh crap look in my eyes because now those 5 birds are 10 ft away and more heads are starting to pop up and my shotgun is pointing in the wrong direction. I held my breathe and tried like crap not to move but as they moved closer the lead hen didnt like what she was seeing and decided to run. I brought my gun around and again found that one dumb bird. All I could see was her head and I pulled the trigger. I saw leaves go flying off the ground and wasnt sure if I hit it but I raised up real slow and noticed a nice hen laying on the ground.
Im glad the best hunt was saved for the last day and that I didn't blow it. Now I have to start counting the days down till April.

Deeplinks Blog posts about File Sharing
Does the government have a responsibility to protect innocent third parties from collateral damage when it seizes their property in the course of prosecuting alleged copyright infringement? That is the question a federal district court will consider next week in the latest skirmish in the legal battle between the U.S. government and Megaupload.
In the media firestorm surrounding the recent Megaupload takedown, there has been little lacking in the way of drama (police helicopters, midnight raids, safe rooms, shotguns, and inflatable tanks, for starters). The legal battles between the government and Megaupload are unlikely to end soon. In the meantime, however, many ordinary users of Megaupload's services have been swept up in the government's dragnet, and, as a consequence, have lost access to their own data.
The House Judiciary Committee will meet today for a hearing on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). What could have been an opportunity for the committee to hear from a variety of stakeholders has devolved into a parade of pro-SOPA partisans. Scheduled to testify are representatives from the Register of Copyrights, Pfizer Global Security, the Motion Picture Association of America, the AFL-CIO, and Mastercard Worldwide—many of which helped to draft this legislation in the first place, and didn't let anyone else into the room. The only scheduled witness in opposition to the bill is Katherine Oyama, policy counsel on copyright and trademark law for Google.
Whether you support or oppose the bill, there's no question that it will affect a broad range of activities, which is one reason we've seen an extraordinary outcry of opposition since the bill was introduced.
In keeping with a growing trend, this week Federal Judge Bernard Zimmerman of the Northern District of California severed 5,010 Doe Defendants from a single case—effectively dismissing all but one defendant. EFF participated in the case as amicus.
This case, like many we've seen around the country, involved a pornographic work. Plaintiff sued more than 5,000 individuals anonymously based only on their ISP addresses, for allegedly exchanging an infringing file over a BitTorrent network. The copyright owner claimed that participation in BitTorrent "swarm" was a form of conspiracy, meaning it could sue everyone at once in California.
In the latest development in the first individual file-sharing case to go to trial (three times now!), Judge Michael Davis today reduced a $1.5 million damage award against the defendant Jammie Thomas-Rassett to just $54,000. Though he said he was reluctant to interfere with the jury's decision, the judge concluded that
[A]n award of $1.5 million for stealing and distributing 24 songs for personal use is appalling. Such an award is so severe and oppressive as to be wholly disproportioned to the offense and obviously unreasonable. In this particular case, involving a first‑time willful, consumer infringer of limited means who committed illegal song file‑sharing for her own personal use, an award of $2,250 per song, for a total award of $54,000, is the maximum award consistent with due process.

Gather the kids and create the sweetest and easiest bunny cake. It's as easy as making cupcakes!
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
If you cannot find the fruit-flavored miniature marshmallows, tint additional frosting pink and pipe or frost the center of the ears pink.
Paste or liquid food color can be substituted for the gel food color.

To have a friend is to have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and an extra pair of legs when yours are too weak to stand alone...
I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!

THE HOLE IN THE SUM OF MY PARTS Matt Harvey
Part of me is punctual - it turns up right on time
Part of me is functional - though slightly past its prime
Part of me is criminal - it's quite against the law
Part of me's subliminal - and kind of either/or
Part of me is lowly - it lows just like a cow
Part of me is holy - at least holier-than-thou
Part of me is actual - ly more solid than it seems
And part of me is factual
But most of me is dreams
Part of me is truculent: don't look that way at me
Part of me is succulent - suck it and you'll see
Part of me's detestable - or so people have said
And part of me's suggestible - or so people have said
Part of me's competitive - it only wants to win
And part of me's repetitive - or so people have said
Part of me's interminable - it goes on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on (and on)
This part of me's prolific - it writes reams and reams and reams
And part of me's terrific
But most of me is dreams
Parts of me are distant - and yet can seem so near
Parts of me are whispers - which the other parts can't hear
Parts of me are broken - and tremble to the touch
And these parts can be spoken - but I don't speak them much
Part of me is pensive. - I think. But I don't know.
Part of me's defensive .......... so?
Part of me's celestial - it gleams and beams and gleams
And part of me is bestial (grrrrrr)
But most of me is dreams
Part of me is tiny - but not the part you think
Part of me is shiny - and a pleasing shade of pink
Part of me is laudable - it's for a worthy cause
And part of me's inaudible - (like imaginary gorse*)
Part of me is hairy - to be honest not a lot !
Part of me's contrary - No it's not
Part of me's co-operative - it plays so well in teams
And part of me's inoperative
But most of me is dreams
Parts of me are latent - lurking dormant underneath
Parts of me are blatant - for some reason they're called Keith
Parts of me have stamina - because I do Chi Gung
And part of me's my anima - according to the psychology
of Carl Gustav Jung
Part of me is piddling - yet full of cosmic yearning
And part of me is fiddling - while the rest of me is burning
Part of me is fluent - it flows as sure as streams
While part of me plays truant
But most of me is dreams

Two Mexicans are stuck in the desert, wandering aimlessly and close to death.
They are close to just lying down and waiting for the inevitable, when all of a sudden...
"Hey Pepe, do you smell what I smell. Ees bacon, I is sure of eet".
"Si, Luis, eet smells like bacon to meee".
So, with renewed strength, they struggle off up the next sand dune, and there, in the distance,
is a tree, just loaded with bacon.
There's raw bacon, dripping with moisture, there's fried bacon, back bacon, double smoked bacon..
every imaginable kind of cured pig meat you can imagine!!
"Pepe, Pepe, we ees saved. Eees a bacon tree".
"Luis, are sure ees not a meerage? We ees in the desert, don'forget".
"Pepe, when deed you ever hear of a meerage that smell of bacon..ees no meerage,ees a bacon tree"
And with that...Luis races towards the tree.
He gets to within 5 metres, Pepe following closely behind, when all of a sudden, a machine gun
opens up, and Luis is cut down is his tracks.
It is clear he is mortally wounded but,true friend that he is, he manages to warn Pepe with his
dying breath.
"Pepe...go back, you was right, ees not a bacon tree"
"Luis, Luis mi amigo...what ees eet?"
"Pepe...ees not a bacon tree....
Ees ..
"Ees, a Ham Bush"

1. Two times a week, we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship.
She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds.
Hers is in Calif. and mine is in Texas
3. I take my wife everywhere.....but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our annniversary.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands.
If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!"
So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor.
I asked where the car was; she told me "In the lake."
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days.
Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling
"Am I too late for the garbage?"
The driver said "No, jump in!"
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was "Always".
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months.
I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though.
My wife asked "What's on the TV?"
I said "Dust!"
Can't you just hear him say all of these?
I love it....this is the good old days when humor didn't have to start with a four letter word...just clean and simple fun

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself. "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red light." After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous. At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed us both!" Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, crap, am I driving?"
I just love this one!

Woman gets home, screeches her car into the driveway, runs into the house, slams the door and shouts at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I just won the lottery." The husband says, "Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?" "Doesn't matter," she says. "Just get the *** out"
That is GREAT!!!!!

An old man was on his death bed and called his doctor and his lawyer to his bedside. He asked for one to sit on each side of his bed. He told them, "I know that I am about to die and I feel it is important for you both to be here." The doctor and the lawyer looked at each other, wondering why the old man had chosen them to witness his last moments. Finally the doctor said to the old man, "I am so honored that you would ask me to share your last moments, but I don't understand, why not a family member or friend? Why the two of us?" The old man answered, "Our Lord died with a thief on his right and on his left, I thought I should do the same!"

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.
The stewardess looks at him and says,
"I'm sorry, sir, only one Carrion allowed per passenger."
2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall.
The one turns to the other and says:
3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft.
Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.
4. Two hydrogen atoms meet.
One says "I've lost my electron."
The other says "Are you sure?"
The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."
5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal?
His goal: transcend dental medication.
6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories.
After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse.
"But why?" they asked, as they moved off.
"Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."
7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption.
One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal."
The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan.
" Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother.
Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal.
Her husband responds,
"They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
8. Friars behind on their belfry payments opened a small florist shop to raise funds.
Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not.
So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, a thug in town to "persuade" them to close.
Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop.
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that:
Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
9. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.
He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.
This made him
...(Oh, this is so bad, it's good).....
A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
10. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to her friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh.
No pun in ten did!

The sultan of Saudi Arabia has to settle punishment.
First the Maroc. He has to get 200 whips with a stick but he has 1 wish to grant. Please, the Maroc says, give me a pillow on my back. His wish is granted and after 50 whips, the pillow is totally teared apart.
The German sees this and says give me 2 pillows on my back.
This time it takes 100 whips before both pillows are gone.
The Sultan who is a great fan of the Dutch Soccerplayers, says to the Dutch that he has 2 wishes to grant. What are your wishes he says.
First, the Dutch says, I want not 200 but 100 whippings.
Second, the Dutch says, I would like the German instead of a Pillow on my back.

Prison vs. Housework
In prison, you get three square meals a day.
At home, you cook three square meals a day and try to get your kids to eat it.
In prison, you get an hour each day in the yard to exercise and mingle.
At home you get to clean the yard up so you can mow it so your kids can spread more toys all over it so that you can go out and clean it again because little Jr. can't sleep without his latest lego creation.
In prison, you get to watch TV, cable even.
At home, you get to listen to your children fight over the remote control and get treated to hours and hours of mindless cartoons thanks to cable.
In prison, you can read whatever you want and attend college for free.
At home, you get to read weekly readers starring Dick, Jane, and Spot and worry about how to send Jr. to college and still be able to eat for the next twenty years.
In prison, all your medical care is free.
At home, you have to pawn your mother's silver and fill out trillions of papers for insurance and hope the doctor will see you before you die.
In prison, if you have visitors, all you do is go to a room, sit, talk and then say good-bye when you are ready or your time is up.
At home, you get to clean for days in advance and then cook and clean up after your guests and hope that they will one day leave.
In prison, you can spend your free time writing letters or just hang out in your own space all day.
At home, you get to clean your space and everyone else's space, too, and what the heck is free time again?
In prison, you get your own personal toilet.
At home, you have to physically hold the bathroom door shut in order to keep from having someone standing over you demanding to know how long till you're done so you can do something for them.
In prison, the prison laundry takes care of all your dirty clothes.
At home, you get to take care of them yourself, plus everybody else's, and get yelled at because somebody's favorite shirt isn't clean.
In prison, they take you everywhere you need to go.
At home, you take everybody else where they need to go.
In prison, the guards transport all your personal effects for you and make sure nothing is missing.
At home, you have to lug around everybody else's stuff in your purse and then wonder who went in it and took your last dollar.
In prison, there are no screaming or whining children or spouses asking you to do something else for them, or screaming at you because you didn't.
At home....stop me when I get to the downside of jail, will ya?
To have a friend is to have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and an extra pair of legs when yours are too weak to stand alone...
I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!

The ?Creative Way? Of getting out of a Speeding Ticket
Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Woman: Lost it 4 times for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the woman and a Senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please!
Woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: The officer told me that you stole this car and murdered the owner.
Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.
The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: The officer claims that you do not have a driver's license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer. The officer snaps open the clutch purse and examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: I must admit, ma'am, that I'm confused; the officer told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered the owner.
Woman: I suppose the fool told you I was speeding, too.
To have a friend is to have a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold and an extra pair of legs when yours are too weak to stand alone...
I have been living buried in books and writing classes... as an added note I must say that it is rather scary when you start dreaming and all you can see within your dreams is words floating everywhere!

Agreed about the paint apps on Destro - I bought the first one I saw, and was kind of disappointed when I opened him as his head was almost entirely white. I've seen several more with much better paint since, and they look so much better. I really wish I'd waited.
As for Snake-Eyes' action feature - it's really not very intrusive at all. There's a tiny button under his arm (in fact, I hadn't even realized there was an action feature when I first opened him) and he's even still poseable - you can actually still twist his waist to pretty much any desired position without enaging the mechanism and it'll stay. That said, I've come to think that he's kind of an ugly figure now that I have him, and not a very good, or useful design for Snake-Eyes. His accessories are a bit oversized as well.
I also think Recondo is a great looking figure except for one slight flaw - his head is situated in such a way on his neck joint that he's stuck perpetually looking down. I was thinking that if I trim away a bit of the plastic from under the back of his head that I might be able to fix it, though. Dusty is really cool as well, but I think his neck is a bit too long; especially without his scarf and cape thingie. Might try fixing that as well.
