Filling out the bracket can be a precarious thing. Think carefully before deciding to pick against these five teams capable of deep runs in the NCAA Tournament:
Saint Louis Billikens (No. 4 seed, Midwest)
If anyone in the country knows what type of roster it takes to make the Final Four, it's Butler coach Brad Stevens, architect of two out-of-nowhere runs to the national championship game. Stevens believes in the Billikens.
"I've said all year to the people that have listened, and some that don't, how good they are. They are a legitimate contender for the whole thing," Stevens said Saturday after Saint Louis beat his Bulldogs for the third time this year. "I believe that wholeheartedly. They've got eight guys that are all strong, big, physical, tough, smart, skilled basketball players, and you don't need anything else if you're all together, and they've got it all."
Why they're dangerous: Saint Louis keeps its opponents from getting comfortable. The Billikens' defensive pressure is harder to define than, say, VCU or Louisville. Those teams attack every moment of the game, on every inch of the court; the Billikens might run the most efficient, smart half-court defense in the country. They're nearly flawless on switches, they're all very smart, instinctive players and because they're all such versatile defenders—from 6-11 big man Rob Loe to 6-foot guard Mike McCall Jr.—they rarely fall victim to un-guardable mismatches. In the pressure of the NCAA Tournament, teams that don't make mistakes beat teams that do.
Keep an eye on: Dwayne Evans. The 6-5 junior forward is the Billikens' most effective scorer in the paint—yep, even at just 6-5—and when he's playing well, Saint Louis is nearly impossible to beat. Heading into the A-10 Tournament, Evans was shooting 54.8 percent from the field and averaging a team-high 13.8 points in Saint Louis victories, but shooting 36.2 percent from the field and averaging 9.0 points in losses.
NCAA Tournament 2013: Full bracket, matchups
Villanova Wildcats (No. 9 seed, South)
The Villanova team that made a push into the NCAA Tournament is not the Villanova team that lost to Alabama and Columbia in the first month of the season. Those Wildcats were very young and trying to figure out how to win games; these Wildcats have figured out the right recipe.
"Villanova is an excellent basketball team," St. John's coach Steve Lavin said this week. "They're capable of making a run here in the NCAA Tournament. Obviously, very strong, physical style of basketball that's allowed them to beat Syracuse and Louisville and Marquette and Georgetown most recently."
Why they're dangerous: The Wildcats are built around their defense, which ranks No. 24 in kenpom.com's defensive-efficiency rating. They'll give up occasional open looks from the 3-point line, but they've held opponents to just 42.4 percent shooting on 2-point attempts this season. Senior Mouphtaou Yarou is the primary shot-deterer inside, but JayVaughn Pinkston, James Bell and Daniel Ochefu do an excellent job, too.
Keep an eye on: Ryan Arcidiacono. The freshman guard missed his senior season in high school after back surgery, but he has been impressive this year. He's the Villanova player most capable of scoring in bunches—Pinkston is the most consistent scorer—and could easily shoot the Wildcats to the Sweet 16. He has scored at least 23 points five times this season, including a career-high 32 points in an overtime win against St. John's in early January.

Colorado State Rams (No. 8 seed, Midwest)
When Larry Eustachy took the Colorado State job last April, he inherited a veteran group still smarting from their one-and-done appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where the Rams lost to sixth-seeded Murray State. And that veteran group added senior transfer Colton Iverson, a big man who has made a huge impact. Colorado State hasn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 1989, when the Rams beat Florida before losing to Syracuse.
Why they're dangerous: There isn't a better rebounding team in the country. The Rams are especially good when it comes to offensive rebounds—they grab 41.8 percent of all their missed shots, which extends possessions and creates putback chances. And defensively, they limit opponents to rebounds just 23.3 percent of their missed shots. Any team that's able to create easy opportunities and limit easy opportunities for opponents is capable of winning multiple games in the NCAA Tournament.
Keep an eye on: Dorian Green. Colorado State's senior point guard was hobbled by an injured ankle during the Mountain West Tournament, but the week of rest should do wonders for his mobility. Green takes care of the basketball—in 12 MWC games this season, he committed two or fewer turnovers—and he can score, too. He scored at least 11 points in a dozen MWC contests, including three games with at least 20 points. Don't underestimate the importance of an experience player running an offense in the tournament.

North Carolina Tar Heels (No. 8 seed, South)
The smaller lineup—with wing P.J. Hairston starting and playing big minutes instead of a more traditional power forward—has injected life into what was a horribly hit-or-miss North Carolina offense. Don't focus on the loss to Miami in the ACC Tournament title game; instead, look at how well the Tar Heels moved the ball and shot. Not every team in the NCAA Tournament will have a Shane Larkin to put up an All-American-caliber performance to negate UNC's solid effort.
Why they're dangerous: The talent to beat quality teams always has been on this UNC roster. The confidence hasn't. It's there now, though, and the Tar Heels would love nothing more than to erase the memory of this up-and-down season with a lengthy NCAA run. Also, this smaller lineup has forced good teams to adjust their on-court configurations—both Duke and Miami had to go small just to keep up with the Heels.
Keep an eye on: Hairston. Playing with a heavily bandaged left hand after sustaining a bad cut, Hairston still went out and hit six 3-pointers and scored 28 points in the title-game loss to Miami. Since moving into the starting lineup for good on Feb. 13, Hairston has scored in double digits every game and topped the 20-point plateau five times.
Memphis Tigers (No. 6 seed, Midwest)
Let's put this out there right now: The Tigers are better than their NCAA Tournament resume suggests. They beat just one RPI top 50 team all season (though they upended Southern Miss three times). These Tigers are as talented as just about any club in the NCAA field. They have high-major athletes—and plenty of them—and veteran players who should be motivated for an extended NCAA run.
Why they're dangerous: The Tigers have a chip on their shoulder. All they've done in league play is win basketball games—they went 16-0 in the regular season and 3-0 in the conference tournament—but all they've heard is how winning Conference USA games isn't an accomplishment. We all know how athletes love to play the "nobody believed in us" card, and any little thing that might provide a positive source of team unity during the tournament is a good thing. Plus, they have Joe Jackson and Chris Crawford and Tarik Black and Adonis Thomas and Shaq Goodwin and D.J. Stephens and Geron Johnson—that's a collection of talent most opponents can't match.
Keep an eye on: Johnson. The 6-3 junior isn't the most consistent scorer, but he might be the most explosive on the team—the type of player capable of erasing double-digit deficits singlehandedly or building insurmountable leads in the span of just a few possessions. He's been at 13 points or above 12 times this season, but held to eight or fewer 14 times. You get the point.

By contrast, the student station's new home, a bright and clean high-tech fishbowl at the top of the stairs on the new Dion Family Student Center's second floor, ditches the dingy but cranks up the cool by cordially inviting public interplay. Passers-by in the student lounge area now can watch shows unfold live or mug back and forth with the on-air talent in real time. A few folks were doing just that on Wednesday morning, October 30 - Day Four of the new studio's operation. Moving day went smoothly the preceding Sunday, according to station advisor John Connors, who works in the Saint Michael's Information Technology Department for his day job. Connors' son, Liam '14, is the WWPV station manager. The elder Connors says he is on short-term hiatus from a regular Monday blues show that he's hosted for years on WWPV, simply because the move has demanded so much time. For their mid-morning time-slot this recent Wednesday, student DJs Alex Dugas '14 and Chris Magyar '14 were playing an eclectic mix of sounds off of their laptops as part of a new weekly morning show that they've put together this semester called "Folk Punk Blues." "It's basically the music of the people - that's the common thread," explains Dugas, an English major who this day passed stretches between his mic time by reading Hawthorne's Young Goodman Brown for a class with Professor Joan Wry. "I'm reading my ancestor," he says, explaining how he has a direct matrilineal link to the author. In the chair next to Dugas, Magyar, a media studies major, crammed for a Global Communications test during the extended stretches when he wasn't keying the mic to describe artists and selections for the show. Naturally enough, considering the name of its host college, WWPV is nicknamed "The Mike," and the WPV stands for "Winooski Park, Vermont," while the station's predecessor until the late 1960s was "WSSE," after the college's founding order, the Society of Saint Edmund. The first studio was in Sloan Hall on North campus until St. Ed's was built in the 1980s with a space dedicated to the station – space which now will likely become faculty/staff offices. The actual "mics" that the show hosts use, then and now, protrude from a durable old-school broadcasting control console, a 10-year-old classic by Radio Systems brought over from the old studio in the move. Connors, the station adviser for about five years, says it's a popular and exceptionally durable type of board that is still made and sold to commercial radio stations. The transmitter for WPPV is in the attic of Cheray science hall, and the 100-watt signal has been known to reach Underhill, Jericho, Milton and even Waterbury with a lucky bounce, though the primary audience is Colchester/Winooski/Essex Junction. Already, most student DJ's do their shows off their personal laptops and so can monitor the station's lively Twitter stream and Web site for requests and select/play songs right from the screens. Two holdouts are John Sheehy, the college registrar, who uses mostly CDs for his weekly folk show, which he's done for decades; and two community members, LJ Kopf and David Beckett, who for many years have played jazz on Wednesday nights and still might play CDs or records along with digital selections. The station's record collections and CDs are still mostly in the old studio but likely would be brought over eventually, Connors said, noting some are classics dating back to the 60s or even 50s. The old turntables from the former studio won't be coming over to the new one, but the station might invest in portable turntables that can be set up on tables in or outside the studio when called for, he says. The "on air" lights were about to wired in for the new location so they could be seen in the public-facing studio windows, said Connors, though he lamented how the old neon WWPV sign from St. Ed's didn't appear to have survived the move in functioning condition. "But we'll get another one," he said, adding how he hoped somebody in the art department might be able to create and rig up something cool with lights to indicate song requests coming in, for instance. Regular listeners heard no student shows for about a week during the switch, Connors says, although, thanks to automated broadcast capabilities, the station was only off the air for an hour. "We basically integrated what we had for our broadcast automation that we normally use between student shows, and ran it the whole time for a while since we are a 24 by 7 broadcast. We also do Web stream and can link to that from the mobile site," he says, adding the stream also was down for about a week during the change-over, but is back now. Connors says over the years, he's had feedback from people on the West Coast and China who listen to his blues show online. Some highlights among the WWPV guest DJs are a Cuban music show called "Cuban Bridge" by the authoritative Toni Basanta on Thursdays at noon, and IT staffer and alum Jerome Allen '09, who like some student DJs brings his own state-of-the-art DJ equipment and mixers along for shows. The station advisor envisions them eventually being able to set up their gear on a table outside the glass area to better interact with students in the Dion since there's a built-in conduit to the in-studio console. Connors also would like to develop the ability to produce pre-recorded interview shows that could be played later, particularly for shows in late night or wee-hour time slots. Now that the actual move has happened he'll be working on audio and broadcast-production seminars by station alums who "will come up and show the staff how to produce a high-professional-quality radio show." They hope to us the college's new Mac lab to "demonstrate all the resources that St. Mike's has, showing we can professional quality work with what we already have on campus," using Mac ProTools, or Adobe Audition outside the Mac lab. This is all a far cry from the old black metal Royal typewriter from decades ago that was still sitting, lonely-looking, in the old studio on October 30, but Connors plans to bring it to the new space for atmosphere and traditional continuity, and hopes he can somehow bring the old studio's door surfaces covered with colorful vintage and contemporary band promotional stickers from the old site too. Along with the studio itself, the station's home in Dion now includes prime real estate with extra offices behind that have all-glass views of the walkway and campus outside and ample storage. He believes the new studio space out front with the public is unlike any other radio station in the State of Vermont. Student DJs Alex and Chris say that they and perhaps 40 others student DJs on the full staff are excited by the new space's potential. Connors shared some "crazy ideas" that he thinks the station could pull off, such as inviting Vermont's congressional delegation or maybe visiting musical luminaries or campus guest speakers to be interviewed live in the studio while the show is being broadcast into the lounge, using the newly operating house-audio PA system that can pipe WWPV programming throughout Dion in real-time. The main studio has three microphones now, but also the capacity to plug in "multiple mics for multiple people" with space for more hosts or guests, or even live musicians, than was possible in the old space. Before any of that happens, he's working with student life leaders to work out when and how such events or broadcasts might be feasible, recognizing that students' need to study in relative quiet sometimes in Dion is important too. "I think students see the potential but it's not until you get into the space that you really see the opportunities," he says.

- ½ cup honey
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- In a zip-lock bag or pyrex dish, combine honey, soy sauce and lime juice.
- Mix well.
- Add chicken and turn to coat.
- Seal or cover and refrigerate 30-45 minutes.
- Drain and discard marinade.
- Grill chicken, uncovered, over medium heat for 6-7 minutes on each
- side or until juices run clear. Don't overcook.
Terri's Notes
- I've found the secret to tender, juicy grilled chicken is to pound it out, ever so slightly, just to even out the thickness, so we don't have dry "thin' edges.
- This is seriously good grilled chicken, but the flavor is light. So it's perfect "in' recipes: chilled and sliced over salads - especially Mexican flavored salads, or as the star ingredient in hot or cold in wraps. LEFTOVERS!

Mayor Don Wesely, other officials and residents of the Everett neighborhood today celebrated about $212,000 in improvements at the intersection of 11th and "G" streets with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The improvements in the neighborhood's commercial area include a wider sidewalk on 11th Street, redesigned corners, 17 ornamental lights, planter boxes made from historic curb stones, park benches, trash containers and bike loops.
"The area was a safety concern for pedestrians and motorists with its lack of lighting, narrow sidewalks, and long crosswalks," said Mayor Wesely. "It has now become a safe and beautiful area thanks to the efforts of the city, the federal government, the business community and neighborhood residents. Everyone involved in this partnership can take great pride in what has been accomplished.
The city's Urban Development Department identified the Everett Neighborhood as a focus area for revitalization and has been working since 1997 to develop and implement streetscape and housing improvements. The intersection project was funded with $188,587 in Community Development Block Grant funds and $23,468 in sewer bond funds.
Eight new neighborhood signs have also been installed. Several identify the intersection as "Klein's Corner," referring to the Klein family, who has owned a grocery business there since 1928. Present at the ribbon cutting were Ed Klein, Mildred Klein Heaton and Wes Klein.
Other attending the celebration were Pat McCauley and Teri Robertson of the Housing and Urban Development office in Omaha; officials with the city Urban Development Department; Gary Gilmour of Plaza Mart Pharmacy; and representatives of the Everett Neighborhood Association.

The Wrestling Globe Newsletter reports that former PWG World Champion Frankie Kazarian married Traci Brookshaw, aka Traci Brooks, on Thursday, January 7, 2010. The majority of the Total NonStop Action Wrestling crew, as well as some World Wrestling Entertainment friends, were in attendance at the ceremony.
Christopher Daniels, who served as the best man, called it "a beautiful affair," on his Twitter account. "Some tears were shed, but the joy overflowed. Absolutely fabulous!"
One of the big moments of the ceremony apparently was Samoa Joe marking out to Kip James doing the Soulja Boy dance during the reception.
Congratulations to Frankie and Traci!

Language and Human Nature
Language and Human Nature was a joint literature project between C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.[1] Their publisher had announced that the book was to be published in 1950 but it was never completed.
In 2009, Regents' Professor and Chair of the Texas State University Department of Communication Studies, Steven Beebe, discovered the beginning pages of the manuscript in the Oxford University Bodleian Library.
According to Beebe "the manuscript includes some of Lewis's best and most precise statements about the nature of language and meaning. Both Lewis and Tolkien wrote separately about language, communication, and meaning, but they published nothing collaboratively."[2]

This is a story.
There was a great Karate fighter named Bob -- the best in the world. He had won every tournament and title. He was big, strong and fast -- a real fighter. He was also very conceited.
One day after winning another tournament, Bob went for dinner with some friends, one of whom was Sally, a nurse who worked at the local hospital. Brimming with pride over his latest victory, Bob boasted, "I can beat anyone, anywhere, at any time!"
"I wouldn't say that," said Sally. "I will fight you if you let me pick the place and time."
Bob almost spit his beer across the restaurant. He was shocked. "You're crazy!" he shouted.
"I'm completely serious," replied Sally calmly.
"You're on!" yelled Bob.
The days passed. Weeks passed. Whenever Bob inquired about their fight, Sally would say, "Not yet. Soon."
A year went by, then two. Bob forget all about the challenge. One day, as he was flying to a tournament on the West Coast, his jet suffered engine failure and crashed on takeoff. Bob sustained massive injuries and was rushed to the hospital.
Twelve hours later, as he regained consciousness, Bob found himself paralyzed, with countless tubes and wires connected to his body. As his vision cleared, he was reassured to find Sally by his side. He could not even lift his hand but summoned all his strength to give a weak smile.
Sally leaned forward and gently whispered in his ear, "here and now."
No matter how strong or powerful one might be, there comes a time when he can be beaten, if not by a person, then by injury, disease, or death.

text: Wilhelm II (1859-1941), the German kaiser (emperor) and king of Prussia from 1888 to 1918, was one of the most recognizable public figures of World War I (1914-18). He gained a reputation as a swaggering militarist through his speeches and ill-advised newspaper interviews. While Wilhelm did not actively seek war, and tried to hold back his generals from mobilizing the German army in the summer of 1914, his verbal outbursts and his open enjoyment of the title of Supreme War Lord helped bolster the case of those who blamed him for the conflict. His role in the conduct of the war as well as his responsibility for its outbreak is still controversial. Some historians maintain that Wilhelm was controlled by his generals, while others argue that he retained considerable political power. In late 1918, he was forced to abdicate. He spent the rest of his life in exile in the Netherlands, where he died at age 82.

LONDON—December 18, 2006—Alfresco Software, Inc., the first and leading provider of an open source enterprise content management solution, today announced the availability of the Enterprise Edition of version 1.4 of the Alfresco embedded Enterprise Content Management system. This offers application vendors a low-cost, scalable platform, which is standards based, to OEM as part of their application. Traditionally application vendors have had to manage the high cost, of either developing their own repository, or using an expensive, proprietary offering from an ECM vendor.
"Alfresco is the first embeddable Enterprise Content Management system and has already been embedded in a number of applications," said John Newton, CTO, Alfresco Software, Inc. "It was designed from the beginning to be embeddable and fits as easily into enterprise applications as small devices."
Alfresco was designed from the ground up to be embedded in modern architectures for the new world of enterprise software. It is:
- A 100 percent Java war file that can be simply run in an application sever
- Can share the same JVM as the embedding application or be accessed remotely
- Less than 40MB in size
- The most scalable standards-based JSR-170 repository
- Offers the same functionality in the embedded, Enterprise and Community versions
- Simple to install and rollout
- Has an OEM friendly business model
An embedded version of Alfresco has been available since October 2005.
About Alfresco
Alfresco is the leading open source alternative for enterprise content management. It is the first company to bring the power of open source to the enterprise content management market, enabling unprecedented scale and a much lower total cost of ownership than proprietary systems.

I was talking to a friend the other day from Texas about favorite restaurants. He said his favorite was Crapitto's Italian Restaurant in Houston, which closed in 2014. I wasn't sure I heard it correctly, I said I had hoped the food was, well, NOT crappy but it made me think, what's in a name?
Ten years ago, here in Scottsdale, restaurateur Harry Morton, son of Hard Rock owner Peter Morton, opened a Pink Taco restaurant to rave reviews, a stellar VIP list and a pretty good Margarita. It closed less than three years later but its Los Angeles location is still in full swing. At that time, our City Council was up in arms.
And in April, a Saigon restaurant was forced to change its name after people objected to Uncle Ho's Chinese restaurant. I did a little research as to some people and places here in Arizona, that might be offensive or discriminatory to some and seemingly benign to others and did I come up with some great stuff. The Valley Ho! (no explanation necessary) and an internist named Dr. Weiner (giggle-wink-wink). Tucson has a Dr. Goldfinger (yes, an obstetrician). Godfather Pizza (are all Italians in the mob?") and My Big Fat Greek restaurant (I just got back from Athens and hey have some skinny Greeks too). What about this new moving company I read about: Mother Truckers. Can you imagine how they ever got their license? Over in England, they're less fussy. They have an eye glass store, Spex Appeal (sounds like S-E-X to me); a hair salon, Cliptomania (Kleptomania is listed in the AMA as a disorder-how offensive) and Cambridge House of the Blind (yes, levelors and shades). See how silly it is?
People are having fun, they're paying taxes, not doing anything illegal and trying to earn a buck. Is that where people are putting their energy?
Maybe we should concentrate on names of streams and rivers with names like Savage Lake or Rum River in the Pacific Northwest that sit on Native American land but were renamed by White Men to reflect the ruin brought to many tribes by liquor or coined to reflect their feelings about the people they had just slaughtered. In 2013 in Harlem, New York City, a sign at an IHOP asked customers to show receipts before exiting the restaurant. Only in that neighborhood. I find those type of signs and names offensive and when you look at these examples, uproar over sexual innuendo seems pretty lame.
There are much bigger issues these days.
My sister in law called to ask me if I knew of a good place to get her dog clipped. I searched the internet and found a great pet grooming store. What was the name? "Doggy Style." Don't get me started!

All those mistakes. In government 13 years. An electorate demanding change. Why didn't the Tories run away with it. The answer is that change was not really what was on offer. The voters are not collectively as daft as our contemptuous politicians may think. They knew that we have a financial crisis ahead. They knew that Labour policies contributed to that crisis. They knew that those policies were essentially Tory policies. Voting Tory was never going to bring about much that was different. The canny UK voters were not going to be persuaded that change was on its way with a trite marketing slogan. We, the people, are not that daft.
For the policies that matter - those that deal with the finances - the parties were boxed into a corner. With Labour moved to the right, no clear water and the need to balance our books there was no way the Conservatives could offer a real alternative. Sustainable growth, the mantra repeatedly trotted out by Gordon Brown, has proved illusory.
And why amidst this disenchantment with the two main parties didn't the Liberal Democrats do better? How could they lose seats? Can this make sense? Perhaps once again the electorate were not so naive. Perhaps they realised that a vote for the Lib Dems was tantamount to a Tory vote. Perhaps English voters with a left leaning had nowhere to go. The rule of the political class has become absolute.

Anyway, baking is definetely will be on..haha! Want to know what's on my mind...hee hee..:P Stay tune!
By the way, made some chilled cheese cakes for my daughter's teachers for their hardwork tru the year and also not to forget my dear friends around. Bought some new cutter today, which i think will look nice with this cheese cakes...and yes, they did!
All nicely cut and topped with fruit jam....yummy..:)
Actually the recipe is for a 9" loose base pan, somehow it can be any shape as you like....the most important is the taste.
Anyone who's interested........
150g Digestive biscuits or Marie biscuits (crushed)
100g Butter (melted)
2 egg yolks
150g Sugar
160g Fresh milk
2.5 tbsps Gelatine
6 tbsps Hot water
250g Cream Cheese
250g Double cream ( lightly whipped, set aside)
1/2 tbsp Lemon juice
~ Combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter, pour into the 9" loose base pan, press down the crust firmly with the back of a spoon. Store in the freezer before use.
~ Cook (A) with double boiling and set aside. Mix (B) together and pour into (A). Stir and mix well.
~ Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add in (A+B) mixture, then add in (E). Mix well.
~ Add mixture into (D) , stir and mix well.
~ Pour into prepared crumb crust and chill for 2-3 hours until firm.
~ Top with favourite fruit jams or fresh fruits.
I did it with a 10x10" square pan, so its easier for me to cut with those cutter, and those jams i used was blueberry pie filling, strawberry jam, kiwi and mango puree. Some of them were decorated with chocolate chips cause i see its rather bare with just the jam on top.
So don't wait...get started..:) Cheers!

Lol, I've been enjoying these past chapters. With the Miu/Rimi match I was expecting Miu to have problems with a trianed up Rimi, though the ending of the current chapter had me laughing. In all honesty, that's pretty much to be expected with Miu and gold. I mean when Kenichi recieved those gold medalions when he defeated some of the members from YOMI, I think it was Miu who first brought up the possability of pawning them off to pay the the up keeping of the dojo.
The Tekada/Lugh match has me worried for a bit since Lugh pretty much can cripple with his submission techniques while it has been shown the Takada might sacrifice a bodypart to get the decicieve blow.
I'm wondering what Ryuuto's motives for talking are and if he is trying to help out his old friend Kenichi or try to make a compromise in these fights.
Also, by indication of when the next issue is to be released, does that mean Kenichi is going to be on break this week?

As for the actual chapter, it's more of Miu versus Rimi. Yeah, we all but know something bad's gonna happen in this fight, but what about the others? What are they doing, playing tiddledywinks? I don't think so, it's a fight to the death. Unless the highlighted fight is gonna interrupt the others, and that would be a lame way of resolving the matter. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Ukita is useless so he doesn't fight nowadays
And we have a few panels of Kenichi trading fists with berserker, where nothing happens.
Think he should just skip out on the fight scenes if nothing important is really going on and just focus on finish one fight at a time.

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate presently in production. Initial sales forecasts predicted less than 100,000 systems for the very first year. This mark was surpassed in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed.
Best Deals Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however several modifications were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), consisting of the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. When it comes to a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made adequate distinction to require classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has sustained with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Wyoming RI are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were needing to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the very first version however, due to the added devices required to fulfill brand-new US emission and safety regulations, was heavier than the first model. Efficiency was decreased and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Wyoming RI were available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a 3rd time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly big enough for four individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang acted as an Indianapolis 500 speed car and Ford built 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Bold geometric prints of all sizes have been revealed amongst top designers during their Spring 2013 runway shows. Louis Vuitton presented a white and yellow and classic black and white checkered catwalk. Louis Vuitton's classic square block pattern shows an influence from the 1960's. Other designers modernised this print by cutting out squares and filling these negative spaces with mesh whilst others have played on the check print, making it more subtle choosing similar tones for the background and print.
Amongst the geometric shapes, designers have integrated wide vertical stripes/lines into their collections. This is such a fun trend to invest in. If you are one of many who have a black filled wardrobe why not invest in a fun geometric piece to jazz up your winter looks. I have styled some geometric inspired outfits for you below. All products are available at Highpoint Shopping Centre or check out their online store with the links provided below.
Louis Vuitton reintroduced the bold geometric prints of the 60's.

Just in case you think I'm either: a) losing my mind or b) trying to fool you into thinking it's 1997 again, rest assured that I'm innocent on both counts. I know it's been a long time since WCW (and before that, the NWA) staged it's year-ending event, but I always find myself thinking about it at this time of year.
Part of the reason is that the WWE's December pay-per-views have been among their worst for the last few years. I know because I covered several of them. But mostly, I think back on one Starrcade from seven years ago that has a special place in my heart.
If you were a wrestling fan back in 1998, you don't need me to tell you that it was probably the peak of the industry's most recent cycle of popularity. The WWE was soaring thanks to Steve Austin, The Rock and Mick Foley, who literally soared from the top of a steel cage at King of the Ring in one of the year's most memorable moments. WCW had yet to start its death spiral, enjoying a surge of excitement and merchandising dollars thanks to a guy by the name of Bill Goldberg. After a long time away, I got back into wrestling in a big way, eventually convincing Greg Oliver and John Powell to let me start writing Nitro reports for SLAM! Wrestling that fall.
My parents' divorce and remarriages gave me a total of five brothers ranging in age from three to 13 years younger than me, and it was fun to see them get into wrestling as well. Not too many things can bridge a chronological gap that wide, so it was pretty cool to have something to fall back on, something I knew could start up a conversation with any of my siblings. We had different tastes in music and clothes, different friends and hobbies, but everyone watched Raw or Nitro just about every week. Even my dad, a judge in the Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas, followed it enough to know most of the storylines at the time, though he probably wouldn't admit that today.
As the holidays approached, my thoughts naturally turned towards what to get all of my brothers for Christmas. I usually exchanged gifts with both of my brothers who lived with my mom and did a name exchange with the three who lived with my dad. I'm not sure what gave me the idea -- especially since I had never attended a wrestling pay-per-view in person at that point -- but it dawned on me that Starrcade was held in Washington, D.C. It would be a long drive from our homes in central Pennsylvania, but a manageable one, and my dad had a van big enough to transport everyone. With all of the pieces coming together, I gave a call to the MCI Center and managed to get seven tickets. For Christmas '98, everyone was going to Starrcade on me.
When December 28 rolled around, it only took about five minutes to question the wisdom of my gift idea. I stopped by my mom's house to pick up brothers Nate, the closest in age to myself, and Max, who was still a pudgy middle schooler at the time. Nate's comment to Max that he would "probably trade his Goldberg shirt for some nachos" almost led to a fistfight, but cooler heads prevailed and we linked up with my dad and remaining brothers and piled into the van for the three-hour drive. Enthusiasm was pretty high, with Max carrying a pro-Bret Hart/anti-Kevin Nash sign and my youngest brother Timmy sporting a now infamous sign that read "Kevin Nash should have the world heavyweight belt," only with the word "belt" about fifteen times larger than the rest so from a distance it looked like the only thing on the sign. Good stuff.
Turns out we could have left the signs at home, because our seats were almost literally at the top of the MCI Center. There was just a single row behind us before you got to the back wall and the ceiling, plenty high enough to activate my fear of heights. Yes, back then WCW could fill up a 20,000-seat arena. Still, all seven of us seemed excited to be there, and as I would reaffirm later watching WrestleMania X-7 from the rafters of the Astrodome, sometimes the most loyal and vocal wrestling fans are up there in the cheap seats. We definitely weren't all on the same page as far as who to root for, but all of us could find like-minded spectators up there in the 400 level, screaming as if the guys down in the ring could really hear us from that distance.
What happened in the ring that night? I definitely remember that Goldberg's winning streak came to an end, thanks to some help from Scott Hall and a stun stick. I also recall Diamond Dallas Page pinning The Giant -- who would soon depart for WWE to become The Big Show -- with a Diamond Cutter off the top rope. As for the rest of the card, I actually had to go back in the SLAM! Wrestling archives and pull up John Powell's PPV recap to jog my memory. It sure doesn't look like a barnburner through the magic of 20-20 hindsight, what with Prince Iaukea, Norman Smiley and Jerry Flynn all participating. In the end though, that really didn't matter. The important thing was that my Christmas present brought together brothers, fathers and sons for one night in a way that nothing else could have, and as corny as it may sound, that makes Starrcade '98 my favorite pay-per-view of all time.
Lots of stories have an epilogue, and mine is no different. I'd love to say that our experience seven years ago made us all closer, but life is what it is, and people change, grow and move on. Max and John are sophomores in college now and I don't see them or talk to them as often as I feel like I should. Our tastes in hobbies and entertainment change too, and only Nate -- now living in Philadelphia and preparing to start law school -- even checks in on wrestling to see what's going on every once in a while. So in a way, it's appropriate in a melancholy sort of way that there's no longer a Starrcade this December, a very real reminder that there won't be a repeat of that family bonding any time soon.
It's okay though, because even though I'll probably go on watching Armageddon every year, I'll always have my memories of that other pay-per-view. Here's to you Starrcade.

On to new business. If you run a site like this, any story about the consecration of an Episcopal bishops is like Christmas. You don't know what's in the package but there's a pretty good chance that you're going to love it.
Of course you're going to get socks or a tie once in a while. Granted, I haven't seen many pictures of it but the recent consecration of Mary Glasspool, the Episcopal Church's second homosexual bishop, out in Los Angeles, has to be considered a major disappointment.
But the Diocese of Upper South Carolina just made up for it. Um...Upper South Carolina, Gracie? Yup. For those who don't know, there are almost as many Episcopal dioceses as there are Episcopalians and, as Andy Warhol might have said, in the future, everyone will be an Episcopal bishop for 15 minutes.
Anyway, Upper SC just consecrated a new bishop. That's him in the middle, the Rev. W. Andrew Waldo. I'm not sure what's going on there. I guess it's a variation of that flames theme. Once again, it's kind of not a good idea if they look like they're coming from that direction.
The woman to Bishop Waldo's right is rocking a stole with the names of women from the Bible signifying, of course, that there were...women...in the...Bible. I don't know about you but I didn't know that so I appreciate this woman communicating that fact.
I don't know what's happening on the stole on the woman to the Bishop's left. God's in charge of the weather? A tribute to the cold front? Go Iowa State Cyclones?

I have absolutely no idea what those symbols are, but you can rest assured that they have nothing to do with Iowa State. Their sybol is a cardinal named Cy. Buesides, the symbol looks more like a hurricane than a cyclone/tornado.

AT least they did decide on a basic red color scheme. The woman next to the cyclone (or is it huricanes???) if you look closely might be United Methodist, between the quilt stars is the UM cross and flame, although the flame should be red. Went to the local UMC Conference web site and checked if perhaps they might have invited the local UMC bishop but it is not her.

Gentlemen, a little respect would be nice, don't you think. I mean, you know: for Christian gentlemen?
Try limiting your comments to the 'bad vestments" and save your bad-taste political commentary for some other place. God knows, there are enough of them in the blogosphere.

Did you notice that his SISTER made the vestments??
"His sister, Anne Louise Waldo Gillilan, a professional designer of ecclesiastical vestments and altar hangings from Kenai, Alaska, and a team of four additional artists and stitchers spent several weeks working in an Alabama basement making the vestments presented to Waldo."
Also, according to the local paper, the service was four hours long. People, there is ABSOLUTELY NO EARTHLY REASON why a consecration service should last that long!!! My father's was less than half that!

Release Date: May 7th, 2010
International: May 2010
Shattered, decimated, blinded by a fantastic, intergalactic lip light! Just when you thought Dazzleglass was the best-of bright, along comes Superglass, with secret, snowflake-shaped helicone pearls sparkling in three different facets for triple the dazzle! Lips have gone big bang, explosively dimensional, a rare eclipse! Gloss feels slick and sleek on application with no draggy speed bumps, not a hint of grit. A light aroma of vanilla enhances kissability. Extreme innovation that's a good reflection on MAC and the seductress lucky enough to strike upon it.
If you thought Dazzleglass was as sparkly as lip gloss could possibly get, MAC has come out with something new that will prove you wrong. MAC decided to kick the glitter up yet another notch and the result is Superglass, a new lip gloss formula that surpasses even the high sparkle of Dazzleglass. MAC has come up with special multi-faceted glitter particles that reflect more light than ever without being too chunky, giving this gloss a technological edge over other similar glosses.
Superglass is not for the timid or cosmetically conservative. Make no mistake about it- this gloss is extremely glittery. Not shimmery, not sparkly, but full of straight-up glitter. It's more for clubbing than every day wear. It is a bit thicker than other MAC glosses and slightly more pigmented as well to help give the glitter a good base. Although you can feel the glitter on your lips, it is not gritty at all like many other glittery glosses.
The collection will launch with nine sparkly colors that cover all the typical gloss shades so everyone will be able to find a color that suits them. These are all limited edition so don't wait too long to decide or you may leave your MAC makeup counter empty-handed. Cherry Electric is a very bright cherry red that looks especially nice on lighter skin tones. Sugar Overload is one of the more unexpected shades- a glitter-packed beige that helps you get the sparkly look without having to wear a bright color at the same time. Fab Frenzy is a deep wine shade perfect for creating a vampy look that has a little more life to it than the typical matte vamp shades.
Superglass is a bit more expensive than other MAC glasses. This would be a lot easier to accept if we got more gloss than usual. However, Superglass tubes actually contain less product than the other glosses in the MAC Cosmetics line. The high sparkle payoff is a bit hard to find in other glosses and may end up justifying the cost if this is the look you're after. For incredibly glittery lips without a gritty feel, Superglass truly takes the cake.
Superglass ($18.00 US/$21.50 CDN)

We all dream that little dream when we see the NY State lotto commericals or Mega Millions peaks over 100 million. We buy the ticket and dream, "What if..."
My dreams are of course very selfish and self centered. But for fun, this is what I actually think about if I fell into a windfall of money...
Would I stay in Hoboken?
Part of me thinks it would be cool to buy a brownstone and trick it out like something out of "Real World", making the ultimate guy house. 1st floor would be like a local pub - kitchen, bar, pool table, dart board and Golden Tee. Second floor would be the living room, with a jacuzzi. Third floor would be the bedroom.
Then again I think it would be silly to stay in Hoboken if I had that much money - New York would be a blast when you are rich, going out to nightclubs, bars and restaurants each night. Why would you want to schelp back to Hoboken at the end of the night? I would want to get a place around Prince and Broadway, I love that part of the city I think it just is so alive with a buzz about it.
Conversely I think - why would I want to be in the cold? I should get a condo in Los Angeles or Florida for the winter and NYC or Hoboken for summer. That would be my ideal solution. I also toy with the idea of having a flat in London & a condo in New York. Or maybe a villa in Italy.
What would be the first big ticket item you would buy?
Hmmm. Have to be a nice ride. I'd probably get a Range Rover SUV for day-to-day things & certainly something like a 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago convertible for fun.
What would you do with the rest of your life?
Depending on how much money I had I narrowed down my three choices that appeal to me:
a) Owning a bar or nightclub.
b) Working in the computer gaming industry. Blizzard would have a new majority investor who would immediately nurf all shamans in WoW.
c) Writing/Producing movies.
I know that if I didn't do anything for a living, that I would easily fall into the same trap of what most of my vacations are about - staying up late and sleeping all day. I would be a vampire. A nerdy vampire that plays computer games all night, but a vampire nonetheless.
What would you do with all the winnings besides buying things?
I don't know how, but before I get the lottery ticket I would want to start a corporation or something, so that I could include my family in the winnings. I would give 10% to each of my siblings and mother, while keeping the other 60% - i'm sure a good accountant and lawyer can figure out a way to do this and protect my investments at the same time. I would certainly donate money to my highschool and college, in a scholarship fund in our family name. Give 1-2 million to each school and one student per year gets a full or partial scholarship. I'd also donate to a Multiple Sclerosis charity.
What about travelling?
Aside from where I choose to live, I certainly would want to go to the following destinations, in no particular order:
- London - I was there at 16, but i'd like to go back again.
- Paris - Last visit I was there at 20, next visit i'd like to go and bring a romantic interest...
- Greece - I could totally do many, many weeks of visiting ruins and islands. I love history and Greek culture I find fascinating.
- Far East - I certainly would want to spend a solid month here, travelling around and trying the various foods and historial sites of Japan, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, etc.
- Australia - very cool people, I always dream of just taking a month and learning to surf & snorkel in Australia.
- Scandinavia - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden aren't high on many people's lists, but i'd absolutely go here during the early summer months, I heard its beautiful.
- Caribbean - I could absolutely love getting a yacht and sailing around the islands for a few months. With a high-powered wireless internet connection, of course.

Flaring is not inherently dangerous, and there is evidence to suggest drilling activity does not have a significant affect on air quality, according to a research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin.
In Cheapside, where rolling farmland used to host cotton and livestock, well sites can be seen on hilltops in every direction. The community, which basically consists of Farm-to-Market Road 2067, no longer has a township.
"The only complaint you might have up and down this road is the traffic. The road has shrunk by about 7 feet," Matthew Bryand, 33, of Cheapside, said of the drilling activity in the area.
Bryand's family owns an oil company.
"I've been in the oil business since I was 18. It puts people to work and keeps the unemployment rate down," Bryand said.
He isn't concerned for his health while working on well sites or from living within a mile of several flares. Oil companies are more environmentally cautious than they used to be, he said.
"They don't want nothing contaminated," he said.
In a study conducted by Texas Department of State Health Services on residents of Dish, which is centrally located within the Barnett Shale play, researchers did not find significantly higher levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in their blood streams, said Ian Duncan, a research scientist at the Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin.
Duncan said he didn't know of a study on the health effects of flaring alone. Residents in the study on Dish who did have higher levels of benzene in their blood were cigarette smokers, he said.
"So, smoking gives you a whole lot more benzene contamination than Barnett Shale would give you," Duncan said.
Duncan said the Barnett Shale region has had long-term air monitoring in place because the Dallas-Fort Worth area has been classified as a non-attainment area by the Environmental Protection Agency's standards, a classification that means an area doesn't meet EPA's set ozone standards.
But no such long-term air monitoring is present in DeWitt County. Without long-term monitoring, it's difficult to know what effect drilling activity has on air quality in the county.
Scientists don't like to extend the results of a study beyond the scope studied, Duncan said. But he does not think the effects on air quality of drilling in the Barnett Shale play would be much different from the effects of drilling in the Eagle Ford Shale play, he said.
"I'd be surprised if it would be a whole lot different," he said.
Five stationary air quality monitoring sites with 11 pollutant monitors are in the 26-county Eagle Ford Shale area, Andrea Morrow, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality spokeswoman, wrote in an email.
Three of those sites are in Webb County, one in Maverick County and one in Wilson County. None of the 11 monitors have detected levels of concern for VOCs, Morrow said.
The TCEQ has also done two aerial surveys — in 2011 and 2013 — of the Eagle Ford Shale with infrared imaging cameras to spot VOC emissions, she said.
More than 10,000 individual tanks were surveyed in the 2013 survey, according to the TCEQ website. Of the tanks surveyed, 5 percent were found to have some degree of emissions, either authorized or unauthorized. Follow-up investigations at facilities with observed emissions will determine compliance with authorizations and regulations, according to the site.
Shale gas drilling has led to a small increase in benzene levels in the Barnett Shale area, Duncan said. But the amount of pollutants are far less than the amount emitted by vehicles in larger cities such as Austin or Houston, he said.
"The health effects of smoking and commuting along highways is far worse than shale gas development," Duncan said.
Con: Flaring is not properly monitored and releases harmful pollutants into the air

The blue table is back! It's a glorious sunny day here in Nashville — which feels a bit odd after a couple of weeks of Washington winter drear — and I decided to take full advantage of the surprise.
What you might not be able to see: this is the almost end of the last chart of Leaves of Grass … so close to the knit-on edging. So very far from a finished shawl.
I really am in love with this yarn. It's woolly and colorful and very tweedy. Perfect.
I bought some more in another color — thistle, a slightly shocking purple — and am already daydreaming about one more gigantic shawl. Or maybe a cardigan. Or pullover.

Every new vehicle that comes out is the most amazing thing to ever be put on four wheels -- a stunning achievement in advanced technology, design, performance and cupholder ingenuity.
Each one is a true "game changer," to use a phrase that instantly makes all automotive journalists put away their notebooks and scout out the buffet table in the corner.
That is, if you listen to the manufacturers.
The general public typically responds to such groundbreaking introductions by asking, "Does it come in blue?" and then gets into a line to buy the new iPhone.
That's because the average person who doesn't work for a car company or auto dealer thinks most cars look pretty much the same.
For the past few weeks, residents of suburban Detroit were terrorized by a guy driving around and shooting randomly at other cars on or near Interstate 96. There were more than two dozen incidents stretching across four counties. Fortunately, only one person was injured.
Based on witness reports, police initially said the so-called I-96 shooter may be driving a dark-colored Chevrolet Cavalier or Ford Mustang. As days passed and fear spread through the area, police started pulling over dozens of cars that seemed to match the description, apparently believing that driving a Cavalier is not enough of a daily inconvenience.
Other witnesses described the shooter's car as possibly a 1998 Oldsmobile Alero or Toyota Camry.
Police finally arrested the alleged gunman Nov. 6. As it turned out, the suspect, whose motive remains unclear, owned a dark gray 2009 Chevy Malibu.
Many people have questioned why the suspect barely resembles the composite sketch of the shooter that police released weeks ago.
But given that the incidents happened while the shooter was inside a car moving at highway speeds, I find it more notable that the description of the vehicle was so far off.
General Motors spent billions of dollars in the hopes that a 2009 Malibu would not look anything like a Cavalier, which was discontinued in 2005.
Ford Motor Co. certainly doesn't want people confusing a Mustang for a Malibu or a Cavalier.
Fortunately, automakers have started to focus on making their designs more distinctive and stylish in recent years.
Among the best examples of this welcome trend is the 2013 Ford Fusion, whose look is even more notable for the fact that it's a mid-sized sedan, typically the blandest segment of them all. Hyundai also has made styling a big focus (though its math skills apparently need work).
Others have been hesitant to unleash their designers too much. The new Toyota Camry doesn't look all that different from the old one, and even a Honda executive conceded last year that its cars "have been a bit boring."
Hopefully, sales results in the coming years will show automakers that being bold and distinctive is good for their bottom line. It might even help police catch bad guys faster.

Instead of stir-frying the chewy rice cake in the spicy sauce, I coat the rice cakes with tempura batter and then serve with a side of kimchi. I briefly flirted with the idea of mincing or pureeing the kimchi to serve as a cold relish or sauce, but got too lazy. In any case, make sure you enjoy these quickly as they can get hard over time. Hope you enjoy!

During our regular QA testing recently, we've found significant problems when running Moviestorm using a specific set of nVidia graphics drivers: version 190.38. These drivers were released on July 21st 2009 and are the most current nVidia drivers at the time of writing (August 2009).
Edit - The latest drivers (24th August 2009) exhibit similar problems. See link at bottom of post for more details.
We strongly recommend against upgrading your drivers to version 190.38.
We strongly recommend against upgrading your drivers to version 190.62.
Problems caused by use of these drivers include:
- Character models deforming and warping during scene playback
- Particle emitters (fireplaces, special effects, etc) not working at all
- Terrain bowl around the set displaying as black
I'll try to keep you all updated with any further news (you might want to bookmark this thread) but for the time being, avoid these drivers if you possibly can. If you're looking for previously-released nVidia drivers, nVidia keep an archive of old drivers here.
More information about the 190.38 release on nVidia's forums.

Mayor Don Wesely today outlined additional cost saving measures being implemented due to revenue shortfalls caused by slower than projected sales tax collections. Sales tax revenue makes up 43 percent of the tax-supported budget. So far this fiscal year, which started September 1, sales tax collections are $1.17 million less than projected. "Since the start of the fiscal year, we have taken action that sets aside almost $5 million in city funds to cover this year's potential shortfall," said Mayor Wesely. "As a result, the city continues to be in excellent financial shape. We have every confidence that the general economy will turn around. With sales taxes not meeting projections, however, we must be fiscally cautious and look for cost savings while maintaining the important services we provide to the citizens." The belt-tightening actions Mayor Wesely implemented are outlined in a memo to city department directors and the City Council. Department directors are instructed to:
Exceptions to the directives will continue to be considered in cases where funding shortfalls would create problems with matching funds or have a negative impact on city services or economic development.

Perhaps the most popular actress to perform on "Dancing With the Stars" has done her last dance.
Pamela Anderson was ousted from the hit ABC show Tuesday.
Judges praised the 42-year-old sex symbol throughout the season for her dedicated performances and convincing characterization. They appreciated the waltz she and professional partner Damian Whitewood performed on Monday's episode, giving it a score of 24 out of 30. Viewers, though, failed to keep the "Baywatch" beauty afloat.
Judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which celebrity is cast off each week.
"This has been one of the best experiences of my life — and that says a lot. I've had a lot of good experiences," Anderson said after learning her fate.
She thanked her partner and said she wishes her fellow dancers well.
"I love everybody here," she said.
Anderson said that learning to dance allowed her to focus in a way she hadn't before.
"I'm really proud of the effort I've put into it," she said. "I've never been able to apply myself in this kind of way. This is a dream come true."
Whitewood said working with Anderson was something of a dream come true as well.
"You've been an amazing person to work with and so dedicated to learning how to dance," he said, thanking her.
Tuesday's results show also featured a musical performance by Train and a dance performance by the stars of Cirque du Soleil's "Viva Elvis" show.
Five celebrities remain in contention for the mirrorball trophy: Singer Nicole Scherzinger, Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek, actress Niecy Nash, sportscaster Erin Andrews and football star Chad Ochocinco.
Reality stars Kate Gosselin and Jake Pavelka, astronaut Buzz Aldrin and actors Shannen Doherty and Aiden Turner were eliminated on previous episodes.
The remaining contestants will each perform two dances on Monday. The entire spring cast is expected to perform on the season's final episodes, May 24 and 25.

by Carol Berkin
The American Revolution was a home-front war that brought scarcity, bloodshed, and danger into the life of every American, and Carol Berkin shows us that women played a vital role throughout the struggle. Berkin takes us into the ordinary moments of extraordinary lives. We see women boycotting British goods in the years before independence, writing propaganda that radicalized their neighbors, raising funds for the army, and helping finance the fledgling government. We see how they managed farms, plantations, and businesses while their men went into battle, and how they served as nurses and cooks in the army camps, risked their lives seeking personal freedom from slavery, and served as spies, saboteurs, and warriors. This book is a recapturing of the experiences of ordinary women who lived in extraordinary times, and a fascinating addition to our understanding of the birth of our nation.
Paperback, 194 pages, $16.00. New York: Alfred A Knopf, 2005. Available for order in the Williamsburg Marketplace.
