Biblical Heresy necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 146 diseños de 28 diseñadores freelance.
I need a book cover designed for an upcoming book on heterodox Christianity. The name of the book is
[Title] Who Really Goes to Hell? – The Gospel You've Never Heard:
[Subtitle] What a Protestant Bible written by Jews says about God's work through Christ
(A book for those in the church and those offended by it)
Biblical Heresy Press [http://www.biblicalheresy.com]
The book is 6.14 x 9.21 inches, 200 pages. I have uploaded specific PDF and EPS templates online (These templates just show the exact width and height the submitted file should be as well as how wide the spine is and the "safe areas" for text, etc.)
PDF Template is here. [More or less useless because you cannot move the bar code, but it shows the measurements and safe areas.]
EPS Template is here. [Click "Ungroup" to move around the bar code.]
The template is explained here.
Information about file creation requirements can be found here.
You can generate your own template here. [CS, CS2, CS3, Quark6 and Quark7 are available]
[Use the following settings:
Content: B&W
Paper: White
Cover Type: perf
Trim Width: 6.14
Trim Height: 9.21
Page Count: 200
Include LSI Logo: false
Include Price in Barcode: false]
- The Back Cover should show the bar code and the BHP Logo [logo downloadable here.]
- There should be some spot on the front for a quote/endorsement to go.
- The title/subtitle are very long, and you have some freedom with regard to how you present them on the page. However, you might wish to consult the Titling page here. [I would like "The Gospel You've Never Heard" to be the most prominent text.]
- The author is David I. Rudel
- The text for the back cover is here.
- The Book is an investigation of Christian Salvation.. the book is meant to provoke discussion and suggest there is something to consider/ponder/debate here. {you might want to read the excerpt at http://www.biblicaheresy.com to get a feel for what the book is about.)
- As strange as it might seem, this book is not meant to illicit fear or condemnation (at least not in the way "HELL" generally does). Please take that general notion into consideration. In particular, I would suggest (without saying you HAVE to do any of these):
i) Using a font that does not come across as heavy-handed or strong. The book is about drawing people into a discussion rather than terrorizing them.
ii) I would honestly suggest making "The Gospel You've Never Heard" the most prominent text, even though it comes after the "Who really Goes to Hell."
iii) I think I'd like to suggestion a couple possible options for people to consider for the front (some of the current front-cover designs might end up being back-cover designs?)
A. A depiction of the "Sheep and the Goats" parable described in Matthew 25:31-46. [You can see this online at http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bibl…B#comm/31]
B. A depiction of prisoners in a dungeon being freed by Christ, BUT with two large doors/arches (representing a kind of choice) in the background, one with LIGHT the other with FIRE. [Note, any variation on this motif of people being freed to choose light or darkness is okay...as long as the darkness is portrayed as obviously unappealing, we don't actually have to have fire...our hell can be "outer darkness" instead.]
C. A view from the outside a locked gate with New Jerusalem on the other side...this might be hard to pull off without making it look like New Jerusalem is itself a prisoner or somehow locked away from everyone...I was just trying to come up with another option. [for a description of New Jerusalem, see Revelation chapter 21 [http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bibl…ASB#comm/1]
- A good option for the back cover is Jesus preaching on a Mountain to Jews, but it is certainly not required to have anything on the back cover.
Another option for the back cover would be a picture of "God's Law written on our hearts." [however you want to show that.]
- No Crosses. If Jesus shows up [which is encouraged!] make sure it is not a Western-White Jesus with blue eyes ;)
- Fire is perfectly acceptable as one representation of hell, abject darkness is another...but if you use fire as your representation, please do not have anyone actually burning inside.
- Don't make the word "Hell" any more scary than it already is.

Looking for an easy way to burn less gas and cut down on carbon emissions while driving -- without shelling out for a more energy efficient vehicle? Take surface streets instead of freeways. New research from the New York's University at Buffalo shows that "green routing" like that can cut down on emissions without greatly slowing travel time.
University researchers conducted computer simulations of traffic in upstate New York and found that rerouting travelers helped reduce overall carbon dioxide emissions by 27 percent for area drivers while only lengthening trips by about 11 percent. And not even all travelers are required to change their paths to see a change. Rerouting just one-fifth of drivers means a 20 percent emissions reduction.
In their study, the Buffalo researchers used sophisticated modeling systems for traffic and emissions and ran simulations to arrive at a "green-user equilibrium," in which all the drivers on the road were travling along optimal routes. The researchers believe that it won't be long before GPS navigation systems and online maps could provide drivers the option to choose an environmentally friendly route instead of the shortest route.
The Buffalo study is one of seven the U.S. Department of Transportation has funded that aims to leverage intelligent transportation systems to reduce the environmental impact of transportation. And it just goes to show that there are other ways to reduce emissions without requiring everyone to make the switch to electric cars.
"We're not talking about replacing all vehicles with hybrid cars or transforming to a hydrogen-fuel economy -- that would take time to implement," Adel Sadek, an associate professor of civil, structural and environmental engineering said in a statement. "But this idea, green routing, we could implement it now."

Demand planning and forecasting software is used across industries by businesses of all sizes. The market for this software is continuously growing, and demand planning technology continues to evolve. Some vendors offer a complete supply chain planning suite with features such as inventory and replenishment planning, while others offer demand planning as an add-on or standalone feature.
This buyer's guide aims to help you understand the features and functionality of demand planning and forecasting software in order to help you during the software selection process.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Demand Planning and Forecasting Software?
Common Features of Demand Planning and Forecasting Software
Market Trends to Understand
Benefits of Demand Planning and Forecasting Software
Evaluating Demand Planning and Forecasting Software
Demand planning software allows organizations to minimize waste by tracking trends that will affect future demand. This type of system accomplishes the task by improving forecasting governance in order to eliminate errors or biases in the data and also by reducing data latency, which makes real-time demand planning possible.
In addition to procurement software and strategic sourcing software, demand planning systems are an important, cost-cutting element of supply chain management software.
Organizations can achieve two key objectives with the help of demand planning tools: an improvement in demand forecast accuracy and greater control over demand shaping.
|Historical analysis
|Cross-functional or multi-dimensional forecasting processes analyze the historical demand for an individual product along with broader macro- and micro-economic trends to deliver an accurate forecast to supply chain executives.
|Data separation
|The software gathers a wide range of data to improve past and future demand analysis. Filtering and separation occurs by product, customer, season and market information.
|Demand shaping capacity
|The software factors in scheduling data related to promotions, advertising, planned product launches and upcoming competitor activity, accumulating and displaying detailed plans for future marketing campaigns as well as the projected effects on awareness, demand and revenue that will accompany them.
|"What-if" analysis
|With all the information in the system, the software can perform a series of scenarios and simulations based on "what-if" factors. Based on the results of these what-if simulations, potential deviations from planned demand can be communicated to the necessary areas of the supply chain in order to adjust shipments or production.
|Supply chain communication
|Demand planning systems communicates with other elements of the SCM system to renegotiate replenishment scheduling through capacity planning. This prevents unnecessary oversupply and cost inefficiencies by reducing inventory carrying costs and excess inventory write-offs.
Software as a service (SaaS). Many businesses are now opting for cloud-based systems that are hosted by the vendor and enable users to run the software entirely via web browser. Vendors that provide cloud-based demand planning and forecasting software include Fishbowl, SAP, S2K and Infor.
Digital monitoring. With the increasing globalization of the supply chain, companies face challenges such as delays, longer delivery times, degraded quality and higher costs. To tackle these challenges and maintain visibility and connectivity across the entire supply chain, many demand planning and forecasting software solutions offer a digital monitoring feature that provides real-time updates.
Artificial intelligence. The supply chain for global companies is complex and constantly evolving, which means it is susceptible to errors that can cost millions, if not billions of dollars. To combat this, some vendors are introducing features that are capable of finding and correcting both historic and live supply chain data. For example, vendor Rulex introduced an AI software solution in September 2016 that can automatically detect and correct errors in supply chain data.
Increased demand for third party integrations. Rather than having to purchase an entirely new system that covers every aspect of business operations, many buyers now seek solutions that allow them to easily import data, such as procurement, sales and operations, from their pre-existing software into the new solution without requiring extra manual effort.
Analytics. Demand planning and forecasting software vendors use different predictive models to improve the accuracy of demand forecasts. As a result, business intelligence software vendors with predictive analytics capabilities have started offering demand planning and forecasting software for supply chain application. For example, Qlik and Board BI have expanded their product offerings for the demand planning software market.
Demand planning and forecasting software can yield many benefits for organizations. These benefits include (but are not limited to):
Increased efficiency. A demand planning and forecasting solution helps increase the efficiency of a company's supply chain and operations, improve capacity and manage inventory levels. These tools can also generate a demand plan based on historical data and predict future demand.
Improved collaboration. A demand planning system can help improve communication between a company's supply chain and other areas of operations, including sales, marketing and finance. This can lead to the creation of action plans for different scenarios to enhance overall productivity.
Cost control. Demand forecasts reduce costs by preparing effective inventory-stocking plans. This feature prevents inventory overstocking while focusing on high-profit inventory items.
Trend analysis. In addition to controlling costs, trend analysis features can generate forecasts by capturing historical data and combining it with data related to seasonal variation and promotions. These forecasts can help prevent sales loss due to lack of inventory.
Evaluating demand planning and forecasting software requires an assessment of the functionality and its value to the planning process. It also requires an understanding of the efficiency, accuracy, and relevance of the data that is provided, since that data is key to the effectiveness of the system.
Key considerations when selecting demand planning software include:
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Huon Gulf
Huon Gulf is in Papua New Guinea.
Other destinations[edit]
Huon Gulf is the area on the northern coast of Papua New Guinea occupied by Morobe Province, which has a population of close to 600,000. The province, which is drained by the Markham River, has 171 languages. Tok Pisin (pidgin) is the lingua franca. The province gets much of its income from the importance of Lae as a port that exports produce from the Highlands, but the Markham Valley in the province is also an important agricultural area. Oil exploration and mining are growing in importance and there is a timber industry in the Bulolo area.
Huon Gulf offers spectacular scenery, accessible diving spots, and a range of climates from sub-alpine and alpine to tropical. The Province's jungles and forests offer over one thousand species of birds and mammals, including the Raggiana Bird of Paradise, the Cassowary, a flightless emu-like bird, and the tree-kangaroo. Over 15,000 species of plant have been identified and there may be many more.
The Province has many battlefield relics from World War II, with submerged shipwrecks, aircraft and artillery. It receives many visitors from Japan.
Get in[edit]
Lae can be reached from the PNG Highlands by the Highlands Highway. There are no coastal roads but Lae can also be reached from Madang by taking the Ramu Highway that follows the Ramu River and connects with the Highlands Highway to follow the Markham River down to Lae.
Get around[edit]
Apart from the Highlands Highway, road connections are limited in Morobe, with the exception of a road that branches off the Highlands Highway to the left to go up to Wau and Bulolo. The road is good from Lae to Nadzab airport. Public Motor Vehicles ply the Highlands Highway and the Wau-Bulolo road and are a relatively inexpensive, although not particularly safe, form of transport.

N.W. Basic Sourdough @100
Oh the freezer was empty of bread.. I baked up some good old basic sourdough @100. The recipe from the http://www.northwestsourdough.com site. Where Teresa now has her free download book available!
They turned out nicely, though these loaves tended to get what I considered a little man-handled in the shaping, a dull razor slashing, and some sticking to my woven baskets, the linen ones work fine, no sticking. I will just have to use more flour/whiterice in by baskets, until I get the midas touch, Txfarmer has it for dusting her baskets....maybe she'll loan me her magic dusting wand ;) Just having a little fun Txfarmer...thank you so much for your helpful advice!
I don't want to carry on about the steaming method I've been using with wet nuked towels in the 2 loaf pans...But Oh Man, I'm so very pleased/happy with the fantastic results and especially how all around much easier this is for me from previous methods I've tried.
Mike said, he loved the flavor and this was his favorite bread...I replied....your just a country sourdough man at heart, ..so many lovely recipes on my to do list for country sourdoughs.
4 - 1 lb. Loaves - one holding up the Oval loaf -
Crust and Crumb with a little bolder bake- IMHO a noticably thinner bold baked crust, crunchy, crispy and a cracks

I've made no implications of despising this board. I don't.
My reasons are my own.
The way I see it, you could spend the rest of your life rehashing the moral implications of what he did, giving judgment, taking it back, jerking off to your own sense of justice, whatever rocks your socks, mamacita. That, or you could take 10 minutes to grant someone the most honorable gift of acknowledging him as a person in a place where he is completely dehumanized.
I am no psychologist, but one thing that I am quite certain of, is that if I wish for someone to acknowledge their blame and make a conscious effort to reform himself, the absolutely wrong way to go about it is to give indifference.
Just keep in mind, while sipping on your chamomile tea and pondering on the many degrees of blame and accountability that zoots has rightfully earned,that on the other side of this, there is a person who feels hunger, cold, and despair just like any other, no matter what he did. One that has gone through due process and is paying very heavily for what he did.
Let your actions show us who you are. Or don't, whatever. I don't care about you.

I'd much rather be the coach at Notre Dame and lose to Ohio State once every five years than be the coach at Michigan and lose to them every year.

Typical Tosu: the post isn't even about the Bucks and yet they feel the need to inject anti-Michigan material. Yawn.
- February 25, 2006 9:34 PM
"Its good to be the coach at Michigan" when you lose and get outcoached 2 out of 3 times by Tyrone Losingham and then have Charlie go down to your own house and embarrass you in front of 110,000 "silent" fans and national television audience, so i say ya "Its Good to be the Coach at Notre Dame?

HaHaHa. Notre Dame gets beat by 20... The funny thing is, your 110,000 fans at the "Bitch House", not "Big House", were silent pretty much the entire game when Notre Dame played Michigan, barring the desperation touchdown pass that was made in the last few minutes of the game!! You trying to make fun of Charlie Weis?? LMAO. Your a nobody, like the picture says, Charlie has a 30 million dollar contract, thats 30 more million than you have!! plus he has more football knowledge in a piece of shit that comes out of his ass than your entire loser michigan blogger clan!! And what I think is the Funniest thing ever, You make fun of Notre Dame for losing to Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, when Michigan got beat by the terrible and lowly Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Toilet Bowl of the South!! Shut Your Mouth unless you have something that is worth saying, instead of making yourself and your whole website a joke by trying to bag on players and teams that whoop your ass every year!!!
- July 14, 2006 11:56 AM
Wow, I hate Notre Dame. Weis is fat, and looks like a worker at a funeral home. I wish my team was supported by millions of assholes no matter how bad they are. They should be dead like SMU, but nope the media attention helps them stay afloat through everything and here they are in contention again. Oh well, at least they can't win bowl games.
- July 27, 2006 3:21 PM
It would be nice to be supported by millions of assholes not matter how bad the team is, too bad Michigan's assholes give up cheering after the first series and any respect for the team by throwing bottles at them after a few quarters. O well, at least your season will be over before you boys even play anybody in the Big Ten.

This picture may not be too flattering of Weis but I'll bet he looks pretty darn good when he's whooping up on Michigan every year! National Champs 06-07!

HAHA Sure Looks like Notre Dame beat up on us this year! GO BLUE
- September 17, 2006 1:16 PM
We live in some politically correct times.Some points are good and some are bad. Charlie Weiss is disgusting! I mean, he is the coach of one of the most physically tough and demanding sports in the World. He's a pig. I just hope that when he has his heart attack that it is not on national TV. Because then they will make him a HERO, Martyr or something. There is no reason ( even enlarged glands) for someone with that much money, not to mention access to one of the greatest workout rooms on the planet, to look like him! Please...

Some more fun at Charlie's expense:
I don't mean to plug my own site in here, but my latest post (Loch Ness Mystery Revealed) goes along with your topic perfectly.
You could make the argument that Charlie's food intake (offense) is just stronger than the staples in his stomach (defense)... that's why he's in the shape that he is. He is an offensive-minded individual, after all -- it was just a matter of time.

LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK (Reuters) - "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" continued to light up the box office through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, collecting a record $110.2 million over five days to surpass a hefty opening for Disney's new animated film "Frozen," and bringing its 10-day total to nearly $300 million.
Moviegoers flooded theaters in record-setting numbers, dropping $294 million at box offices, besting the $290 million spent a year ago over the five-day period.
"Catching Fire" and "Frozen" both beat the Thanksgiving box office record of $82.4 million set by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in 2001.
"Frozen," which critics lavishly praised, recorded ticket sales of $93 million at U.S. and Canadian theaters for the five-day holiday period that began on Wednesday, according to studio estimates compiled by Reuters. That far exceeded industry projections of about $63 million.
"Frozen," inspired by "The Snow Queen" fairytale, features the voice of Kristen Bell as a Scandinavian princess intent on finding her sister, the Queen, who has the power to freeze anything with a touch and accidentally sets off a long winter that is destroying their kingdom.
"This was much more than we ever could have thought," said Dave Hollis, executive vice president of distribution for Walt Disney Studios, of "Frozen"'s strong opening, adding it was the biggest-ever opening for one of its animated releases.
Disney's action film "Thor: The Dark World," based on the character from its Marvel comic book unit, was third with $15.5 million in ticket sales, according to data compiled by Rentrak.
"Catching Fire," the sequel to the 2012 blockbuster "The Hunger Games," stars Jennifer Lawrence as heroine Katniss Everdeen, the skilled archer who becomes a beacon of hope for an oppressed society. The movies, distributed by Lions Gate Entertainment, are based on a series of novels by Suzanne Collins.
The film set a November opening weekend record of $158.1 million, then smashed the Thanksgiving five-day mark in its second week. It already ranks third on this year's list of top-grossing films, according to data compiled by Rentrak, behind "Iron Man 3" and "Despicable Me 2." Its global total is $573 million.
Rounding out the top five were strong-performing "The Best Man Holiday," starring Taye Diggs and Terrence Howard, with $11.1 million, and "Homefront," which collected $9.8 million in its debut weekend.
The R-rated "Homefront," written by Sylvester Stallone, features British action star Jason Statham as a former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent who moves to a small town to raise his daughter but tangles with a local drug lord.
"Black Nativity," a musical from Fox Searchlight starring Forest Whitaker, Jennifer Hudson and Angela Bassett, only managed the No. 8 spot with $5 million in sales for its opening weekend.
"Frozen," a $150 million film, is the latest from Disney's animation studio, which has enjoyed a revival since 2006 when the company acquired Pixar. Disney had a big hit in the 2010 "Tangled" and last November with "Wreck-it-Ralph."
Hollis said the studio expected the film would play well through the Christmas season, noting that "there are not a lot of family (film) options" opening in the coming weeks.
Lions Gate Entertainment produced and distributed "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
"Frozen" and "Thor" were released by Disney.
"Black Nativity was distributed by Fox Searchlight, a unit of Twenty-First Century Fox.
"Homefront" was released by Open Road Films, a joint venture of theater chains AMC Entertainment and Regal Entertainment.

Last week the Germantown Friends girls soccer team capped off a successful season by appearing in two different postseason tournaments.
Going into the Friends Schools League playoffs with a league record of 5-1 (8-2 overall), the second-seeded Tigers topped visiting number three Moorestown Friends by a 2-0 count on Tuesday to reach the championship game.
Two days later at top-seeded Friends Central, GFS encountered a problem common to all of FC's league rivals this fall, an inability to score on the Phoenix. Friends Central deposited the game's only goal during the second half to post its second 1-0 win over GFS this season and claim the league championship.
The Tigers still weren't done, though. They were into the second round of the Pa. Independent Schools Tournament, and saw their season come to an end on Saturday afternoon at the Hill School. Succumbing to the host Blues, 3-0, GFS ended the 2011 campaign with an overall record of 9-4.
Up through the FSL semifinals, sophomore goalie Caroline Myran logged eight shutouts, five of them in league play. In an August scrimmage the Tigers outscored neighboring Penn Charter, and in an official game they notched a 4-0 win over another Girls Inter-Ac League School, Agnes Irwin.
In last Tuesday's semifinals the Tigers weren't expecting a cakewalk; they had beaten Moorestown during the regular season but it was a 1-0 match. Germantown pushed up on offense and got off two threatening shots almost immediately.
The Foxes forged into the GFS half occasionally, but junior defender Sophie Mercuris was very active in the back and helped break up the assaults by the visitors. Senior Eve Maxson proved to be a vital link in the Tigers' transition game, as she brought the ball up the right wing time after time.
Germantown enjoyed a 1-0 halftime lead thanks to a goal that came off a corner kick with 16:18 remaining in the opening period. Senior Iris Williamson put the ball in play from the right corner, delivering it to Maxson in the middle at the 18-yard line. Maxson threaded a pass into the center of the box for sophomore Rachel Allison, who turned and fired the ball into the Foxes' den.
The Tigers added an insurance goal in the first minute of the second half. Williamson, a University of Pennsylvania lacrosse recruit who happened to be celebrating her 18th birthday on the day of the league semifinal, carried the ball 50 yards through much of the Moorestown team to stick the 2-0 final tally on the scoreboard.
Moorestown frequently tried to advance down the right flank in hopes of breaking the shutout, but the Foxes often found their way barred by Germantown junior Katherine Walden. The visitors did manage to test Myran with six minutes left in the game, but the sophomore made a diving save to preserve her shutout.
On Thursday Germantown encountered a Friends Central squad led on defense by goalie Meghan Cartafalsa, who has shut out every league opponent this season.
"It's not just her; they're very well organized in the back," pointed out GFS coach Sam McIlvaine. "That being said, I don't think Friends Central played one of their strongest games against us. We had a lot of scoring opportunities and we just weren't able to finish."
The Tigers had near misses from, Maxson, sophomore Claire Schmidt, and freshmen Brigit Andersson and Sophia Linguiti, among others.
Friends Central only got off one shot in the first period, according to McIlvaine.
In the second half, he said, "We'd been in their half most of the time, but they came down and got a restart in a dangerous position. They're good on their set pieces, and they got the ball into a crowd in front of our goal and one of their girls [Josephine Fisher] headed it in."
After that final close loss in the league, GFS headed to Hill School on Saturday for a second-round game against the Blues, who had beaten the Tigers 3-2 during the regular season.
"They were the only team that was able to score that many goals against us," said McIlvaine, whose squad yielded six goals in two games to the Pottstown team, while not allowing more than one in any other single contest. "They have a very fast forward up top and they know how to get her the ball."
Again, GFS enjoyed a lot of ball possession, but couldn't penetrate their rivals' goalcage. This was in stark contrast to the Tigers' Indy Tournament opener on October 27, when they emptied their bench and had seven different players score in an 11-0 victory over Perkiomen School.
Hill's quick-strike ability quickly became apparent as the Blues rushed upfield to score in the aftermath of a Germantown corner kick. In the second half, a defensive miscue by the Tigers led to another goal by Hill, who later slipped in a third as Lizzie Sullvian finished the day with two goals and Deana Mayza with one.
"We couldn't get around the ends so we couldn't attack from the flanks, and that hurt us," McIlvaine said. "We had to shoot from distance and we were off-target."
Very few teams get to win their final games in a given season, and overall the Tigers had a successful 2011 campaign.
"We didn't have great speed and our play one-on-one might not have been spectacular, but we played quite well collectively," McIlvaine said. "Even with a lot of young girls joining the mix, this was a close-knit, cohesive team and the girls stayed focused in games and in practices. I think a lot of that is due to outstanding leadership from our senior captains, Iris [Williamson] and Alex [Clarke, a senior center back]."
The Tigers' skipper summed up, "It was a nice balance of hard work and fun."

We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State University in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey,
Fla.) missing
the season with
ankle injury
that he suffered
in the preseason,
senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times.
The series vs. Kennesaw State
The Bucs are 16-1 all-time against KSU, including a 71-55 win in their last game back on Jan. 4, 2014 in Kennesaw, Ga. ... ETSU has won 16 straight.
Last time out vs. Kennesaw State
KENNESAW, Ga. (Jan. 4, 2014) – Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) and freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson) each scored a game-high 19 points, as the ETSU men's basketball team opened Atlantic Sun Conference play with a 71-55 victory over Kennesaw State inside the KSU Convocation Center. ... With the win, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow collected his 300th career victory. ... The Bucs closed the first half on a 10-2 run and later opened the second half on a 10-0 surge to build an 18-point lead and never looked back. ETSU ultimately led by as many as 21 points in the second half, shooting 55 percent from the field and 50 percent from 3-point range for the game. ... Merriweather finished with his third career double-double, grabbing 10 rebounds to go with his 19-point effort. Meanhwhile, Rembert finished a perfect 4-of-4 from 3-point range and 7-of-9 from the field. ... It was a back-and-forth game in the first half, with the Buccaneers shooting well from beyond the 3-point arc and Kennesaw State holding a decisive advantage on the glass. The game featured eight lead changes and four ties in the first 20 minutes, but ultimately resulted in a 40-32 score in favor of ETSU at the break. ... After the break, Rembert and Merriweather combined to score the first 10 points of the half and quickly make it 50-32 with 18 minutes left.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 31, 2014) – If the ETSU men's basketball team could have played Mercer Friday night without the Bears' senior guard Bud Thomas on the floor, things would have been very different. Unfortunately for the Buccaneers, Thomas' presence was obvious. ... During one decisive stretch late in the first half and into the second half, Thomas scored 18 straight points on six 3-pointers and ultimately finished with a game-high 28 to lead Mercer past ETSU 90-77 in Atlantic Sun Conference hoops action at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... With the win, first-place Mercer continued to improve its season record, moving to 18-5 overall 9-1 in league play. Meanwhile, the Bucs dropped to 11-11, 4-5. ... The Bucs did post some quality numbers, shooting 47 percent from the floor and 42 percent from 3-point range. However, Mercer bested those numbers with a 55 percent clip from the floor, and a 52 percent mark from beyond the arc. In addition, the Bears out-rebounded the Bucs 38-24, while dishing out an impressive 22 assists on the night.
Gadsden-Gilliard named A-Sun Player of the Week
The Atlantic Sun Conference office announced Monday that senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) has been named the league's player of the week. ... Gadsden-Gilliard, who produced two solid performances in wins over North Florida and Jacksonville, averaged 18 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for the week. More importantly, KGG hit the game-winning shot with nine seconds remaining to push ETSU to 4-4 in league play and 11-10 overall. ... This is the first career A-Sun POTW honor for Gadsden-Gilliard, who scored 19 points in the win over North Florida and 17 in the victory over Jacksonville. For the week, he shot an efficient 13-of-24 (54.2 percent) from the field, and an even more impressive 5-of-6 (83 percent) from 3-point range.
Bartow gets win No. 300 overall and No. 200 at ETSU
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow won his 300th career game on Jan. 4 against Kennesaw State, and captured his 200th win on the ETSU bench on Jan. 25 against Jacksonville ... Bartow is the second winningest coach in program history, behind only legend Madison Brooks' 370 victories for the Blue and Gold. In addition, Bartow's .580 winning percentage also ranks second in the modern era for the Bucs, behind only Alan LeForce's .607 percentage.
Historic night at the free throw line for Bucs
The ETSU men's basketball team rewrote some records Thursday night at the free throw line ... Making 32-of-33 free throws on the evening was the first time the Bucs had made 32 shots at the charity strip since Feb. 19, 2011 in a game at Lipscomb ... In addition, junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) is now second on the Bucs' single game list for free throw percentage after going 12-of-12 at the line in the game ... He is second only to former ETSU great Dimeco Childress' 14-of-14 effort vs. Davidson on 2/9/2002.
Rembert hoping to stay hot as A-Sun schedule begins
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time over the last two seasons ... Last season, Rembert ranked fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 39.7 percent for the year, and currently ranks first this year with a 45 percent mark ... This year, he has shown a marked improvement in his style of offensive play, and currently leads the team with 15.5 points per contest ... He also leads the league in made 3-pointers with 2.8 per game ... In fact, his numbers are good enough to rank him nationally in both percentage and total makes from 3-point range (see NCAA list to the left).
Difference between winning and losing for ETSU
Rebounding has been a particular indicator for the Bucs this season when it comes to wins and losses ... The statistics below show the differences for the Bucs is several important categories so far this season.
Statistical category Wins (11-0) Losses (0-11)
ETSU scoring 82.5 PPG....................... 66.7 PPG
Opponent scoring 72.8 PPG........................ 78.9 PPG
Rebounding margin -1.0........................................ -7.9
Shooting % .485.................................... .387
3-pt. shooting % .408................................... .316
Assists 13.6 APG..................... 11.0 APG
Merriweather continues to shine, posts double-double
Freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression in the early going this season, and he continued to make more news with his third career double-double in the win over Kennesaw State (1/4) ... In that game, Merriweather also netted a career high with 19 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (6.1 rpg), fourth in scoring (10.6 ppg), first in steals (1.4 spg), and third in minutes played (27.2 mpg). ... He followed that effort with a career high 20 points in the loss at Mercer (1/6).
All-around effort by Gadsden-Gilliard impressive
Setting new personal bests with 12 rebounds and six assists in the win over Samford (11/21), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) had people thinking "triple-double" when he added an 18-point effort to his statistical line ... The Bucs hope that KGG can make these types of efforts more consistent ... KGG responded to that expectation by putting together a 19-point, seven-rebound and seven-assist outing against Marshall in an 88-78 victory on Nov. 30.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 816 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game. ... The Bucs currently rank as the 7th longest streak in the NCAA, just behind Arkansas and ahead of Oakland.
Shuffling starters was the "new normal" for Bucs
Last season, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 32 games ... Injuries and dismissals left ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination all season. ... Bartow hoped to find more stability with his rotation in 2013-14, but he had used five different starting lineups in the first five games of the year. ... Since that time, he has played with the same starting lineup in 15 of the last 17 games, with the team going 9-6 in those contests.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. … In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

GoSOx 2K3:
I agree that blaming the fans doesn't anyone anywhere. It has been done for a long time and I don't see any real results from it. I wish attendance was better, too, but I believe attendance has deep rooted problems. Brooks Boyer said a few years ago that it takes time to build or, in this case, rebuild a fan base. For a time, I thought the team was on the right track, but things regressed. Scapegoating fans is counter-productive.
One troubling thing is the public absence of Jerry Reinsdorf. Reinsdorf doesn't trust the media; from the very beginning he has blamed the media for some of his image problems. But he can go on Sports Net and get Chuck Garfien to lob him some easy questions. It could help some if he reassured fans some. I hated the White Flag Trade but at least I knew what Reinsdorf was trying to accomplish. I have no idea of what he is thinking now.
This has never been a popular suggestion on these boards, and I get why. Guys (and gals) posting here have an extrememly passionate connection to the team, and therefore disagree with me because I'm going after casual fans, but here goes again:
The Chicago White Sox need a complete marketing overhaul.
One cannot market a sports team solely on the basis of winning. Wins help to be sure, but over the past 30+ years the fan base has slowly morphed to where the only thing the White Sox are judged on is wins and losses. There are gratuitous (and rather stupid) "Dog Days" and such, but overall fans are now of the opinion if the White Sox aren't going to win, why bother going to a game? This is a disastrous sentiment. The fact the White Sox won the World Series in 2005 should have bought them 20 years of "Aloha" from its fan base and Chicago in general, yet here we are - eight years later - wondering why they can't draw.
Everything needs to be changed to market the team to a more casual brand of fandom. Television, radio, ticket prices, parking prices, concession prices, number of day games - everything needs to be on the table. People have to want to go to the ballpark to see a game, and have a good time - win or lose.
The broadcast booths - as will be no secret to anybody - have long been a pet peeve of mine. With a short interruption in the mid to late 1980's, for the past 30 years we've been "treated" to Ken Harrelson broadcasting White Sox games as if his audience consisted of nothing but pitching coaches and batting coaches. It has no mass appeal. Nor does Farmer for that matter.
Before everybody starts retorting they don't want a generic announcer, I will counter if you're happy with the hypertechnical idiosyncratic styles of these guys, then don't bemoan the fact the White Sox have such a regional following.
If you want a large fan base that shows up at the gate consistently, you have to at least try and get one. Once there is some consistency at the gate, which isn't solely based upon wins and losses, the White Sox will have enough stability to pursue whatever strategy they wish to accomplish goals. Until then it's going to be like managing a business which has no working capital - even the smallest disruptions in the plan are going to look like major calamities.
"Reinsdorf doesn't trust the media; from the very beginning he has blamed the media for some of his image problems."
Again, one of the major marketing agendas needs to be to stop the whole "Us against the world" attitude.
The suckiness of the franchise's approach only reinforces what awesome fans we all are!
Ridiculousness across all sports:
(1) "You have no valid opinion because you never played the game."
(2) "Stats are irrelevant. This guy just doesn't know how to win."
I look at it this way: when the team struggles, it looks like the players aren't putting in the effort. When Dunn bats 4th and plays first base almost every day, it looks like the manager isn't putting in the effort (we had enough of that in 2011). When the uniforms, the montage, or whatever gets changed or downgraded, and we bitch about it and get blown off, it looks like the marketing crew isn't putting in the effort. When fan favorites are allowed to walk so we can keep overpaid stiffs, it looks like the front office isn't putting in the effort. When you go to the park and half of it is closed, it seems that the stadium staff isn't putting in the effort. That attitude has been trickling down to the fans for years now IMO. It just looks like the entire organization has gone cheap/lazy, so why should the fans waste their time coming out?
Playoffs? PLAYoffs?
For what it's worth Gonzo in his "Ask Mark Gonzales" mailbag column for the Tribune today pointed out a number of things about the team and the organization one of which was that the Sox need to get rid of the current pregame video.
We are in need of new and younger ownership with a freaking VISION and not more recycled marketing. The Cubs will soon be on the ascent and the Sox will be talking about moving, " because the fans don't support us."
SI1020 - I think you and I overlap in agreement on many things. First and foremost though is the strange loyalty which ownership has toward certain people.
I agree in trying to please everyone, you'll just end up in a big mess, so I would suggest they try and please the largest segment of the population - the casual fan.
For years people screamed at Bill Wirtz for not televising Blackhawk home games. They told him over and over how a television broadcast is basically a three hour free commercial for the product you're selling - but his loyalty to ticket buyers trumped all. A week after his passing, the Blackhawks announced they would start televising home games, and the rest is history. While their good fortunes were a combination of a great team and a new approach, their tickets are now a very hot commodity. The same can happen with the White Sox.
Most people's exposure to the White Sox is via television and the radio. You turn it on and have to listen to palaber about how Adam Dunn's right shoulder flew open at that last pitch, and he couldn't reach the outside corner with his swing and not since Ol' Ted Williams has Harrelson seen a hitter who could keep that shoulder in line and put a hurtin' on a lefthander throwing an Uncle Charlie.
The clicking sound your hear in the background are televisions turning off all over your neighborhood. Don't get me wrong, there is a role for an analyst during a broadcast - and that role is when something needs to be explained or expanded upon to a casual fan.......not every single pitch.
People call many announcers these days "vanilla", but almost every announcer - with exceptions - has been vanilla since they started broadcasting baseball, and the reason for the vanilla announcer is so the game can speak for itself. Again please note I completely understand announcers such as Caray, Dean, Uecker and a few others had personalities which were woven into their broadcasts, but most of the others (Harwell, Buck, Scully, Brickhouse, Rooney etc.) kept their own personalities out of the broadcasts. They had a certain style, but they didn't want to become the show - they allowed the game to be the show. Here we've been stuck with announcers who, for far too long, are intent on being the story themselves to a large extent. Just announce the game.
The ballpark experience is great, but it isn't incorporated into the marketing well enough. Instead of constantly beating the drum about kiosks where you can throw a baseball, or learn to hit - how about simply setting the scene of a beautiful sunny day, a hot dog and game? Win or lose a great time is practically guaranteed! Nope - we got to identify with the third baseman as he talks about winning it all this year.
They have simply got to get away from tying the team's wins to the teams fortunes at the gate. Other franchises have done it (Cubs, Red Sox, Cardinals) and so can the White Sox. Granted they've dug themselves a big hole, but they've got to lose this "win or go home" attitude and start appealing to a wider audience.
This all may come at a cost of the die hard fans, but those die hards will not leave. They will simply have company at the ballpark.
If we give fans a good pregame video, all they'll do is complain about our small, outdated scoreboard.
Changing those built in negative perceptions won't be easy. If they can get the neighborhood built up it will help, but Reinsdorf has long resisted that and I believe they have some kind of airtight liquor agreement where no bars are allowed a certain distance from the park, so instead of having a thriving area that people want to go and hang out in and then catch baseball they've got a parking lot - actually several.
I honestly think their best bet would be to market to families, lots of promos to drag mom and dad and the two brats down to the game, cheaper prices would help a lot, but that won't help them M-Th even in the summer.
Part of their problems were created by the Trib owning the flubbies for so many years and effectively being their marketing arm. Now that those days are over the Sox still have to fight those conceptions the Trib helped create. I don't know what the answers are, and I agree they need to find ways to market the club better, but what form that should take and how they combat the natural logistic issues they have (dead isolated neighborhood) I don't know. Hopefully someone with a better marketing mind than me can figure it out.
Maybe a simple marketing campaign built around smiling people having fun at the ball park with fireworks and kids catching baseballs and that kind of thing instead of focusing on the players would be a good idea. It certainly can't hurt.
Riding shotgun on the Sox bandwagon since before there was an Internet...
Voodoo - Great to hear from you. I think we're on the same page.
I'm not a marketing whiz myself, but I do think they need to stop marketing every game as a battle, every season as a war, and each player as a warrior.
I agree the White Sox are in a big hole, but a bit of it is their own making. Obviously the Cubs have a big advantage, but instead of trying to differentiate themselves, they flirted with going head-on against them. Sponsors (WLUP years ago and the Southtown as well) started running direct confrontational ads involving the Cubs and White Sox (and believe me I posted against those when they were taking place). It made the White Sox organization look small, and I don't think it paid any dividends over the long haul.
White Sox fans know they have a great stadium, an entertaining team and certainly a fan base large enough to support the franchise. Capitalize on those elements, and stop making it a win/loss or life/death situation.
It's baseball, and it's a good time win or lose - that's the message which needs to get out there.
I do agree 100% with you on the dead zone around the park. You're not going to have a Wrigleyville-type of development due to the fact that the neighborhood doesn't consist of high density population which keeps those places going during away games and the off season, but I would have thought by now you'd see destination locations (restaurants and such) popping up in the general vicinity of the park.

Triple Play Sports Cards & Memorabilia
Entrepeneur based in Florida and starting up a new chain of stores. I am an ex ball player with access to unique sports memorabilia but also an avid collector of sports cards. The store will be a fun and relaxing place to hang out and chat, trade and buy and sell items.
Very varied target audience from young school age kids trading sports stars to ball players wives looking for that unique piece. Every type of sports fan - Baseball, football, basketball, hockey, soccer, boxing, racing, etc., etc.
A standout Logo for signage, t-shirts and caps, etc. All our stores will have good road frontage on highly trafficked roads, so clarity and quick recognition of the sign/logo and it's meaning is essential. It should not be tied to just one sport, but not so busy it tries to relate to every sport.
No cartoon characters, should be quite masculine.

Runeknights overrun riflemen, the third was in killed from runes of smiting.
Apollyon rides towards Albrecht.
'What the hell are you thinking? Orders are orders!' - Apollyon smacks the Prince, who gets stunned by the sudden blow.
Apollyon puts him on his steed and sends the prince to safety.
Jean-Francois - Bragallot
Ranged units split and advance.
They pin the remainder of the Falx troopers down.
Since lawmaster only has one unit out of range, and Zups didn't reach me still, it is safe to say the battle is over!
Final Overwatch and Kills:
Bragallot - 15
Scratch - 20
lawmaster - 8
Zupponn - 15
Apollyon - 6
The overall outcome is Imperial major Victory, Falx minor Victory, Ork major Defeat.
Isabella: 'Well, that was fun while it lasted! Ta-ta, lesser creatures!'
Isabella teleports away, not before sending a final ballista shot to the Imperials, but they are intercepted by JF.
As the Imperials move away from the bloodshed, Apollyon and Jean-Francois discuss these new adversaries:
Apollyon: 'Never seen such armor before... who are these people?'
Jean-Francois: 'Pas d'idée, but they are just as advanced as our engineers! Look at these rifles!'
Apollyon: 'Indeed, the King must know of this. Moreover, he must know what you and the prince have done.'
Jean-Francois: 'Oui, c'était a bit dangerous, but look at the bright side! We've won! The orks will not be an issue for a while. We might finally push them back completely!'
Apollyon: 'Still, you shouldn't have left the prince do this. I know he has good intents, but his inexperience and recklessness may lead him to trouble in the future. However, these invaders are a bigger concern to discuss now. Let us leave.'

The Nars/ Andy Warhol collection has released three large eyeshadow palettes in the style of Warhol's flowers silkscreens (example above). I find this concept so ingenious. The themes of Warhol's other work are tastefully integrated into the packaging. The themes and colors are edgy and current. This review is for the Nars Andy Warhol Flowers 1 ($55).
Evoking Andy Warhol's use of silver throughout his work (and his "Silver Factory" studio where he lived and worked), the outside packaging is silver. Also, the lettering on the palettes is silver (rather than the traditional white).
Also, these palettes are huge— much larger than the traditional NARS blush or eyeshadow duo's.
When I first opened this palette, I had a few simultaneous thoughts–first, Andy Warhol's Flowers!!! Because, the graphics really are that good. The coloring is complex, tonal and has a silkscreened appearance. There's some seriously beautiful work done. Even if you buy nothing from the collection, if you can get a good look at a freshly-opened palette it is worth the trouble to see it.
My other thought was–oh look–etching on the mirror! On the inside mirror is a little Andy Warhol saying. It reminds me of the little Francois Nars sayings that come on little black cards in some products, except this is permanently etched so you can see it every time you use it. This particular one says "If you can convince yourself that you look fabulous, you can save yourself the trouble of primping." So I decided that I did look fabulous (so do you, gorgeous!), but I primped anyway. By the way, the black is an overspray on this palette–it gently falls away with a brushstroke or two.
The next thought was….look at alllll that taupe. I was in absolute taupe heaven. As I said, these pans are large and the flower background is pretty, shimmery slightly purple taupe color. So much beautiful taupe in the pan, you could practically take a bath in it. Swatches, taupe on the far left:
And finally, I was worried that the palette would be too bright for me to carry off. Like surgeons, Liz and I got to work–how could we make this palette look good on neutral-lovers? Liz did a nice job for her part–she put the taupe all over the lid. Then she put the white in her inner corner. Then she washed the purple sheerly as a wash over much of the taupe. She then added the silver Nars Andy Warhol Soft Touch Pencil in Silver Factory under her lower lash line. She's using a black liner on her lower waterline only.
The taupe is a nice smooth, shimmery soft shadow. Love. The purple can be sheered (as you see it here), or applied a bit more densely. If you want it as vibrant as you see it in the pan, you'll want to add a colored base. The white is a sparkly white. It's not the most finely milled white that I have, but I suspect its meant to be that way. Nars knows how to finely mill a powder. Perhaps a Warhol Superstar would go for something bolder, and this white delivers that. You can apply it in a messy way by adding more layers of white to make it more edgy if you like (we kept it subtle).
You can see that the color in Liz's upper lid is just slightly washed with the purple shade.
In contrast, today I did a full eye as suggested on the card enclosed with the palette. Although this look is outside my comfort zone, I wanted to test the vibrancy and longevity of the shadows:
I applied the yellow color and purple primarily. I applied them over a dab of Edward Bess Platinum Concealer. I found that I couldn't get a true-to-pan yellow or purple in a few swipes, but in truth I was a bit relieved (those are quite bright for me). One would really need to build it up to reach that very bright, saturated color and probably use a colored base (I don't own bases in those colors).
To my relief, the colors were wearable because they didn't easily build up as bright as they are in the pan. Used as individual colors, these delivered more than enough yellow and purple for me. They were a pretty combination–a bit like an iris. They have a very pretty sheen. Even in warm, humid weather I had the same color after 8 hours as when I started. I've been wearing the Nars Andy Warhol Flowers 3 palette all week, and I've had very good luck with that one too. Today, I went out to buy a Laura Mercier Eye Basic primer to do a little more stability research on these, I'll post the results with the later palette reviews. Truthfully, I strongly prefer blending the colors together (the brick brown shade is gorgeous), and using the purple as a soft was as Liz did. But you might wish to wear the colors that emphasize these strong colors.
Nars sent the products used in this review without charge to Cafe Makeup for consideration for review.

Hi Amy, What a gorgeous taupe! It was hard for me to get past the other brights and imagine that there's a wearable color underneath. NARS Flowers makes more sense for me now now that I consider the more vivid tones to be accents!
i love the eye look that Liz did! Definitely will have to try to replicate this one 🙂
Can't wait to see more of the Nars x Andy Warhol products!
The colors are so beautiful, and perfect for Fall. Love this palette.
I wish you would share your own looks sometimes! Liz's looks great, but I'd love to see the look as it was intended by Nars. We never see you! 🙂
What lipstick is Liz wearing in the last picture? Looks lovely.
[…] Palette in Flowers 2 ($55) follows the same format as the Flowers 1 palette from this series (reviewed here), so I won't repeat the same review here. All shades in this Flowers 2 palette–the […]

We are a huge baseball loving family! I have always believed that baseball was and is still today, America's favorite family pastime. While we do have our favorite team, it's the game itself that we have mad love for! It's one of the best ways to spend with your family, away from all the electronics and distractions. And there's no age limits! Baseball appeals to the young and old and even the non-baseball fans enjoy themselves! Living in Vegas, we do not currently have a major league baseball team. While we hope that in the future that will change, the Arizona Diamonds is one of the closest major league team for us. From Vegas, it was about a four and a half hour drive, about the same as it would be driving out to Southern California. Coming from Las Vegas, or traveling in from a distant? Here's some tips and reasons you should make a family trip out to Chase Stadium to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks (who are off to a pretty good start this season!).
Reasons (and tips) to Visit the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field with the Family:
Quality Time - There are so many distractions in everyday life, let alone the technology that seems to pull everyone away into opposite directions that a day out as a family may just be what everyone needs to "refresh" and connect with each other, all while creating memories that will last a lifetime! The time spent with your kids will be what your kids remember you by, so have fun and enjoy every moment with them!
D-backs Kids Club - A fun and free program for kids 15 and younger that rewards the kids with prizes and special privileges for attending games. When you sign up, the kids will receive an ID card on a lanyard. Each time they come to a game thereafter, they can scan their card, get credit for attending and get the prize for that day. Prizes start at game two and begin with a Diamondbacks t-shirt and thereafter include passes to run the bases, stadium concessions, passes to SeaLife and LegoLand Discovery Center and much more! The D-backs Kids Club is located in the Phoenix Children's Hospital Sandlot, near section 332.Promotional Days - When buying tickets, look for special promotions and giveaways days! A couple that caught my eye that is upcoming is April 23rd the first 5,000 kids will receive a Arizona Diamondbacks water bottle and Sunday, May 14th (Mother's Day) the first 10,000 Moms will receive a cute clutch with the D-backs logo.Sandlot (Children's Play Center) - Bring the little ones early and let them enjoyThe Phoenix Children's Hospital Sandlot, a family-focused area that helps to promote a healthy and active lifestyle with a variety of fun and exciting activities for fans of all ages. It's located on the Upper Concourse in left field, past section 332 (near the Kids Club). There is a special toddler playground, kids playground as well as a batting cage for those taller than 48 inches and if your kids are into music, stroll over and say hi to Bobby Freeman. He is the musical mascot that entertains fans from his new location overlooking Chase Field. Value Items - On a budget? D-backs want to make sure everyone can afford to visit. They have both value tickets and value menu items throughout the park. The D-backs Value Ticket offer is priced at $25 or $30 for the Bleacher seats. This pack includes not only your ticket, but also your choice of a hot dog or Subway Sandwich along with a regular Pepsi. Tickets are also available in the Infield Reserve section. All you can eat seats start at $37. These seats are near the Sandlot and are extra wide seats with added leg room! If you choose to purchase tickets on your own and get hungry during the game, make sure to look for the D-backs Value Menu Logo throughout the park. ($2 hot dogs, $2 popcorn, $6 baseballs, $2 Pepsi, etc.) Parking - $10 cash onlyFireworks - Chase field opens up on select nights for a spectacular fireworks show!

I think I've been one of the more patient fans when it comes to Aguayo, but trying to frame misses as a matter of luck and thus out of your control is simply an indefensible bitch move. I probably would've still let the battle play out three more weeks, if nothing else to still push Folk, but he lost all respect with that comment.
Agreed. Shifting blame like that is an indefensible bitch move
