Jessica Burciaga and Kayla Collins are the perfect example of sugar and spice. These two ladies are definitely taking the industry by storm. Not only have they appeared in numerous magazines and television shows, but this dynamic duo recently scored a prominent spot in Playboy magazine. With that being said, we felt it necessary to have not one but two Playboy models grace the cover of Lowrider Girls magazine. So fellas, sit back, relax, and welcome to the world of sugar and spice.
About Jessica Burciaga
Miss Burciaga is a model who is not ashamed of the camera. Recently she was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month. Jessica broke into show business after graduating from high school, beginning with being an extra in TV shows and music videos. While enrolled in junior college and sports broadcasting school in Huntington Beach, she worked at a Hooters restaurant in Anaheim, California. Her break came with a photo shoot for the now-defunct Stuff magazine in August 2005. Since then, this sexy brunette has been turning heads everywhere.
About Kayla Collins
This bodacious blonde is causing a whirlwind in the modeling industry. She was selected to be Miss August 2009 in Playboy, which is a once in a lifetime opportunity and experience. She is currently working on advancing her modeling career as well as hoping to someday host a television show and maybe get into acting as well. She has also appeared in numerous magazines, including Mini Truckin', Quad, Super Street Bike, and Truckin'.
What has been the best Valentine's Day gift you've ever received?
Kayla: I have yet to receive a Valentine's Day gift that really blows me away. I think a guy would have to put a lot of thought into the gift. Like, instead of buying me something, do something nice for me. I've received the stereotypical gifts like flowers, chocolate, and jewelry too many times!
Jessica: I got a cute little puppy from my boyfriend, two dozen white roses–which are my favorite, I hate red roses–and a card that had two plane tickets leaving right away to Vegas. It was seriously the best time ever.
You hear that guys? Let's get more creative for 2009 [laughing].What's the sexiest thing you've ever done for a man?
Kayla: Well I knew it would be a while until I saw him again, because he lives in another state, so on the flight to visit him I wore a button down jacket with nothing but sexy lingerie underneath so that as soon as we were alone, I could rip off the jacket and show him what I had on underneath! He figured it out 20 minutes before we even got back to his place that I had something sexy on under the jacket!
Jessica: I never want my relationships to get boring or routine so I'm always doing something sexy or romantic to keep it interesting. First of all, you can never go wrong with cooking for a man. Men love food, so I like putting on cute little outfits and cooking, especially yummy desserts, and feeding it to him. Even giving him a lap dance is hot, or letting him watch me do sexy, kinky things to myself, but not letting him touch drives men crazy [laughing].
What is your guilty pleasure?
Kayla: I would have to say spa days and dark chocolate.
Jessica: I would have to say candy. I have a big sweet tooth.
Do you consider yourself to be a good or bad angel?
Kayla: I think I have a little bit of both in me! I am sweet and innocent–to an extent–but I think I could be considered a bad girl too. I would just call myself a good girl (or angel) with a little bit of edge!
Jessica: Honestly, I think I would have to be a good angel, or at least an angel who's good at being bad.
What turns you on?
Kayla: Well what physically turns me on would be when a guy kisses my neck or grabs the small of my back when I'm walking in front of him.
Jessica: A man who makes me submit to him because I'm usually very aggressive, so someone who can pull my hair and put me in my place, now that's a turn on.
How do you feel about being a Playboy Playmate?Kayla: It is such an honor to be a Playmate because there are only 12 girls picked to be Playmates each year. I have seen the selection process and know that not just anyone can be a Playmate, so it's very flattering to be one of the 12 Playmates. It has changed my life dramatically and I feel like I owe it all to Playboy for all of the work I have received because of them.
Jessica: I don't think it hit me yet that I'm a Playmate. I feel extremely lucky because they only choose 12 Playmates a year out of thousands of submissions, so to be one of the 12 is pretty amazing. I feel lucky that they saw something in me that they liked.
Tell us one secret about the Playboy mansion?Kayla: Considering there is a reality TV show on what goes on behind closed doors at the mansion, there are not many secrets at the mansion, or the secrets aren't kept for long!
Jessica: What happens at the Playboy mansion stays at the Playboy mansion [laughing].
Have you ever kissed a girl? What spot on her body did you enjoy kissing the most?Kayla: No comment [laughing].
Jessica: Yes I've kissed a girl before. Girls have way softer lips than guys. By the way, Elle Navarro is the best kisser ever!

Over the last two decades, Chicago, Illinois has earned the reputation of having one of the highest rates of police coerced false confessions in the United States. Many documented cases involved the use of unusually brutal tactics, including electric shock, beatings and using a plastic bag to restrict oxygen. The problem got so out of hand that the Chicago Police Department was forced to conduct an internal investigation to weed out corrupt officers who were known to conduct cruel interrogations.
At the center of abuse allegations was former Commander Jon Burge, who allegedly tortured one hundred eight men between 1973 and 1991, according to a Chicago NBC5.com article. Burge denies the claims. The accusations began in February 1982 after the murder of two police officers during a routine traffic stop. Less than a week after the slayings, Andrew Wilson was brought into the police station for questioning. During that time, he claimed that several police officers, including Burge, beat him, tried to suffocate him with a plastic bag, electrically shocked him and forced him against a hot radiator, Rob Warden said in a 2003 article for the Center on Wrongful Convictions...
I am assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that in Durbin's world there are stopping points between "Nice Guys" and "Nazis" - we are always on the lookout for nuance.
Michelle Malkin is noting MSM reaction; regrettably, that is not a time-consuming task.

Looking very penguin like on land, with its dark brown back and snow-white breast, the guillemot is a member of the auk family (Alcidae) and first cousin to a puffin and a razorbill.
They breed on the Pembrokeshire bird sanctuary islands of Skomer and Skokholm as well as on Ramsey and St Margaret's Island off Tenby and the Stack Rocks off the Castlemartin peninsula. Indeed, the stack near that well-known coastal feature the Green Bridge of Wales, is called Elegug stack, and an elegug is either a guillemot or a razorbill to south Pembrokeshire folk, as they both look alike at a distance.
When the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority was established half a century ago and the authority was looking for an emblem, the chairman, Alderman Tom Scourfield of Carew, a true south Pembrokeshire gentleman with a strong local accent, looked at the candidates, which incuded the puffin, the guillemot and the razorbill, and plumped for "The Elegug," which he identified as the razorbill, so that was the seabird that won the day. The only difference between the razorbill and the guillemot is the latter's slightly greater size and the former's thicker beak with a white line on it to match the white horizontal eye-line.
Visitors to Skomer island will see during the 20-minute boat trip from Martin's Haven to the island's North Haven, large rafts of guillemots floating offshore, and when they land and walk to the clifftop overlooking The Wick, they will see a seething mass of black and white seabirds on the cliff ledges on the other side of the inlet. The guillemots densely pack the rocky ledges, incubating their eggs or feeding their fledglings, on what appears to be a rather precarious and potentially dangerous location. But they are well-adapted to the narrow ledges and their khaki-coloured, black-spotted eggs are so shaped, like smooth fir cones, that they can't roll off the ledges but, if knocked, simply spin in a tight circle and stay put. The scene is animated, noisy and slightly chaotic, the guillemots uttering a shrill, churring, growling chorus as they mill around, landing and taking off at regular intervals as they come and go to and from the feeding grounds with fish which they regurgitate down the gaping maws of their offspring. The norm is one egg, one chick each per season between May and June, and, unlike the puffins and shearwaters, the 'elegugs' are resident all year round. The northern guillemot is darker than the its brown southern cousin and occasionally, amid the multitude on the ledges, the keen observer may spot one with a white mark on its head, which is a bridled guillemot. The RSPB says the guillemot is "one of the most numerous birds in the great seabird cities," found all round the coasts of Britain and Europe, the European population being about 2.7-million pairs and the British number about 880,000 pairs. They dive down to 60-metres.

Shallow Sump Options
For vessels with very limited space between the engine, bearers and hull we can offer a specially designed shallow sump option. The key differences are a reshaped sump pan and repositioning of the sump pump connection.
Oil volumes are marginally reduced (please refer to relevant operators manual) but the dip stick calibration is unchanged. However when this option is fitted, it is important to note that the frequency of the oil change period is reduced. Rather than the standard oil change hours of use, engines fitted with a shallow sump require an initial change after 50 hours then either annually or every 150 hours if sooner.
Beta 10 to Beta 25
Special Feet Service
Beta Marine engines have been fitted into tens of thousands of vessels around the world using our standard engine feet. However engine bearers can vary immensely so when a problem arises, our solution is to offer our unique service of designing and manufacturing "Special Engine Feet" to suit your individual engine bearers.
Having designed, manufactured and supplied thousands of bespoke "Special Feet" when required, the additional cost of this option is heavily repaid when your new engine just drops onto your existing engine bearers and lines up with your propeller shaft reducing installation complexity, time and labour.

MLS' Portland Timbers are taking on the Tampa Bay of the North American Soccer League tonight in the U.S. Open Cup, and the Timbers wasted no time.
Nine minutes into the game, Timbers goalkeeper Milos Kocic played a goal kick into Rowdies territory, where the ball was allowed to hit the ground and bounce toward goal. A couple of Portland players took awkward touches on the ball, which then bounced high in the air and into the path of Timbers' midfielder Michael Nanchoff just outside the 18. Nanchoff struck it first time with his left across his body and tucked the ball just inside the far post.
It was a great finish, and the fifth-fastest goal the Timbers have scored in the U.S. Open Cup. Portland lead the Rowdies 2-0 in the second half.

LeChase Hall to Feature Wentworth Atrium
Thanks to Robin and Timothy Wentworth, one of the most striking features of Raymond F. LeChase Hall now has a name. Wentworth Atrium, which will unify the three top floors of the Margaret Warner Graduate School of Education and Human Development's new home, will recognize the Wentworths for their $1 million gift to the school, announced November 2, 2012.
The Wentworths, who have one daughter who graduated from the University of Rochester and is now a teacher, and another who is an incoming College freshman, made the gift "in grateful appreciation to the University for its mission of education and research" and designated it to the "long-term facility needs of the Warner School of Education."
"Tim and Robin are wonderful examples of parents at the University who are helping lead the way for future generations of students," said President Joel Seligman. "K-12 education is a critical aspect of American education, and with this new facility to support its programming, the Warner School of Education will be able to strengthen programs in Rochester and influence models and research of national consequence."
"When we were designing this building and particularly the atrium, we were envisioning an open, vibrant space that serves as a hub for the Warner School community and opens us up to the larger campus and Rochester educational community," said Raffaella Borasi, dean of the Warner School. "We are incredibly grateful to the Wentworths for sharing our vision for the potential of the building as a community resource."
Rochester natives, the Wentworths attended Monroe Community College before pursuing further education and career opportunities outside of Rochester. Tim Wentworth, a graduate of Cornell University's Industrial and Labor Relations School, was recently named senior vice president and president of sales and account management for Express-Scripts, a pharmacy benefit management company in St. Louis. Both Tim and Robin have been engaged as key volunteers and supporters of the College since their first daughter came to the University. Two years ago, they established the Wentworth Family Endowed Scholarship for deserving transfer students.
"We love seeing the things that the University has been doing in our hometown," said Robin. "At first, we decided to endow a scholarship to help students who are coming from a community college transferring into the College because that's our history. After that, we decided to make a significant gift to the Warner School."
The Wentworths are members of the Northern New Jersey Regional Cabinet—part of a nationwide University network of alumni, parents, and friends—and the University's Parent Council, as well as co-chairs of the Executive Committee and the Parents Initiative for the University Campaign Cabinet. They also belong to the George Eastman Circle, the University's leadership annual giving society.
"We've seen some amazing leaders at other colleges that our three daughters have looked at or attended," said Tim. "But President Seligman's vision has been really inspiring. The University today is so much more than it was 30 years ago and has so much ahead of it that we wanted to be part of that. Our whole family has been fundamentally shaped by teachers at really important intervals. We believe our gift is going to an enduring, important institution not just for our hometown, but in fact for the world at large."
The Warner School of Education offers teaching and research programs in teaching and curriculum, educational leadership, higher education, counseling, human development, and educational policy. At Warner, research and the preparation of educators are interconnected with the school's many community outreach initiatives, including the Horizons summer school, the Science Stars after-school program at East High, and a literacy project at School 36.
Founded in 1958, the Warner School doubled its enrollment during the past decade and has outgrown its current space in Dewey Hall. LeChase Hall, which is expected to be ready for classes in January, will allow for an additional 20 percent growth, enabling the school to strengthen its existing programs and stay at the forefront of education. The top three floors of the $24 million structure will house classrooms, offices, and spaces to support professional development of educators and educational research and reform work. The first floor features an expansive suite of 14 classrooms that will serve the university's undergraduates during the day and the Warner School in the evening.
Raymond LeChase, for whom the new building is named, was founder of LeChase Construction Services, a Rochester construction pioneer, a noted philanthropist, and a dedicated supporter of education.

Still More Kitchen Gifts: Roast Chicken Seasoning Rub
This is the last in my series of posts about homemade herb blends to give as gifts. I started with Rosemary salt, yesterday I wrote about Kalyn's Herb Blend, and my final recipe is for this wonderful Roast Chicken Seasoning Rub. This is a blend with lots of herbs that compliment the flavor of chicken, plus the addition of paprika and a bit of cayenne pepper so you can create that slightly spicy rotisserie chicken flavor at home.
Roast Chicken Seasoning Rub
(Makes about four cups, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from Pride of Szeged Chicken Rub)
1 1/2 cup garlic powder
1/2 cup dried thyme
1/2 cup dried parsley
1/3 cup onion powder
1/3 cup rubbed sage
1/3 cup dried rosemary (use cracked rosemary, or see note below)
4 T sweet paprika (I like Penzeys)
4 T cayenne pepper (or less, but this is only mildly spicy)
Suggested uses: Wash whole chicken and dry with paper towels. Rub outside of the chicken with olive oil or butter, then rub on about 1 T Roast Chicken Seasoning Rub. Roast or cook on rotisserie as usual, about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until chicken tests 185 degrees with instant-read thermometer. (Edit 1-9-07 Many experts now think roasting to 160-170 is adequate, and I've become convinced that a lower final temperature gives a more juicy result.)
This would also be great on pork roast, as a seasoning blend for slightly-spicy roasted vegetables, mixed into butter for corn on the cob, or as a seasoning for sweet-potato fries.

The open road
"The tired feeling wears off completely and the wind and sun feel good now, making it real. It's happening, just from the warming of the sun, the road and green prairie farmland and buffeting wind coming together. And soon it is nothing but beautiful warmth and wind and speed and sun down the empty road."
--From the counterculture classic Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Minneapolis-born author Robert Pirsig
Play ball
"It's about the smells that greet you at the gate: freshly cut grass, grilling hot dogs, popping corn, leather and pine tar and horsehide. It's about kids cavorting underneath the bleachers, throwing a ball around... not really paying much attention to the game but glad to be there just the same."
--Dave DeLand in the St. Cloud (Minnesota) Times, saluting the city's River Bats, a summer college baseball team
Summer strolls
"The trail has taught me much. I know now the varied voices of the coyote -- the wizard of the mesa. I know the solemn call of herons and the mocking cry of the loon. I remember a hundred lovely lakes, and recall the fragrant breath of pine and fir and cedar and poplar trees....It has given me blessed release from care and worry and the troubled thinking of our modern day."
--Writer Hamlin Garland (1860-1940), born in West Salem, Wisconsin, and known for Main-Travelled Roads
Stormy weather
"Eli felt his heart contract at the sight of the sickening green color of the sky. Though rain hadn't begun to fall, the air felt as heavy and damp as a dishrag. Lightening licked the horizon like a snake's tongue. Purple and blue mingled with pea-soup green, a livid bruising of the heavens."
--From the Christian romance novel Prairie Storm, by Catherine Palmer, who lives in Missouri
At the lake
"The bottom of the lake was rocky and silty--a real incentive to swim, float or tread water--anything to keep from touching the bottom, even in 4 feet of water. When we needed a break, we'd pry the nickels from the knots in the corners of our towels and stand at the candy counter for cherry popsicles, our bare feet uncomfortable on war cement eternally sticky with popsicle juice."
--From the essay "Twice Upon a Time in Iowa," by Storm Lake, Iowa, native Elizabeth Block, and her daughter, Erin, of Ames, Iowa; from the book Reunion: Essays on Iowa
The bugs of summer
"Denise sipped her tea, listening as insects buzzed noisily around the porch light. An owl called from the darkness. Cicadas sang in the trees. The evening was coming to an end, she could feel that. It was almost over."
--From the novel The Rescue by Omaha-born best-selling author Nicholas Sparks
"Four o'clock in the afternoon. Flies dead on the pavement. Dogs wet mops in their kennels. Shadows herded under trees. Downtown stores shut up and locked. The lake shore empty. The lake full of thousands of people up to their necks in the warm but soothing water."
--From the novel Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury, born in Waukegan, Illinois, in 1920
Summer vacation
"My thoughts go back to summers spent at the river cottage owned by my maiden aunt, Nell Patterson. ... What glorious summers those were. There was kindling to split on a wood block in the shade of huge elms. Countless gallons of icy cold, clear water had to be pumped by hand from the well. A fresh layer of green enamel was applied to the flat-bottom rowboat and to the sleek eighteen-foot Old Town canoe, a watercraft that did as much to shape my life as the nine months spent in school."
--From Ely Echoes: The Portages Grow Longer by Minnesota wilderness guide Bob Cary (1921-2006)
Taste of summer
"On a summer vine, and low,
The fat tomatoes burst and grow;
A green, a pink, a yellow head
Will soon be warm, and shiny red;
And on a morning, hot with sun,
I'll find and pick a ripened one.
Warm juice and seeds beneath the skin --
I'll shut my eyes when I bite in."
--"Tomato Time" by Omaha native Myra Cohn Livingston, poet and prolific children's author (1926-1996)
At the fair
"There's always the hawker barking out his hot dogs, always the rickety Tilt-a-Whirl run by a bored teenager, always the smell of cotton candy yielding to the smell of cow yielding to the smell of the too many bodies too close yielding to the smell, the awful smell, of pig. The crafts and quilts are always the same from year to year, as are the gigantic squash--and every year, we say the same thing: 'How would it ever grow this big? And how would you ever lift the dang thing?'"
--The description of fairs in the introduction to Autumn: a Spiritual Biography of the Season, coedited by Gary D. Schmidt and Susan M. Felch, literature professors at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Remembering Charlie Trotter
Photos from "The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter." Above, Trotter with Sari Zernich (now executive director for chef Art Smith's self-named company) and Mathias Merges (now owner of A10 and Yusho)
Charlie Trotter, legendary Chicago chef, died last week at age 54. While his namesake restaurant was based in a suburb outside of Chicago, his culinary influence spread across the U.S. His ties to Hawaii were strong—he frequently visited, featured Hawaii products such as ahi and hearts of palm on his menu, and his cooking show, "The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter," was produced by a Hawaii production company. Melanie Kosaka, who now runs Cookspace, produced the television series, for which she won a James Beard Award. Below, she reflects on Trotter's impact:
I met Charlie when I was producing "New American Cuisine," a PBS series featuring star chefs from around the U.S., and Charlie was one of the featured chefs. I guess he liked the production, and asked if we would be interested in producing a cooking series with him. I thought of the name "The Kitchen Sessions" because Charlie was big into "cooking in the moment" and improvising, and this was sort of a nod to the Chicago jazz scene and Blue Note Records. Much later, I found out he was named after Charlie Parker, and Miles Davis was one of his biggest heroes.
It's funny—or maybe weird—I've been thinking about Charlie a lot lately (before he died). He changed the American dining scene, not from San Francisco, Los Angeles or New York City, but from the Midwest, in a pre-gentrified neighborhood outside of downtown Chicago. Not easy! The formula of celeb chef, plus community, plus local, organic farmers, now seems overly stated. Charlie was supporting schools in Lincoln Park, helping local and Midwest farmers, way before it was de rigueur. He was into raw and vegetarian menus more than 15 years ago. I hope Charlie will be remembered for how far ahead of his time he was, and for his legacy.

I'm a kitty-mommy! (UPDATED! With PICS!)
We adopted a cat! And he is the GREATEST KITTY EVER!
(I may be biased...)
He's a one-year old orange tabby (the one I showed in the last thread). He is a cuddle monster and as playful as can be! He loves his turbo scratcher (the thing with the ball in it) and he'll keep us up late just to snuggle.
He actually didn't take long to adjust, which surprised us. The first night he was with us, he slept between my boyfriend and I and went from one to the other begging for cuddles until 4 am. He's still a little timid when the front door opens and he runs under the bed, but once he realizes it's us he comes out and meows up a storm.
He also loves to sit beside our floor-length windows and watch the birds at the birdfeeders on our porch.
We haven't named him just yet. Nothing seems to strike us as THE name. We want to give him a distinctly cat-name. We just can't come up with one that fits. I'll post pictures soon!
Kitties are the best! I'm glad he's settled in fast. Call him Ginger!
congratulations! Sounds like a good fit. Name him Marmalade!
We totally need some action shots.
I have my mother's cat sitting next to me purring away, and my cat is sunning himself. Aren't cats the greatest?
I vote for Andy as his name. Time for another VW animal-naming poll!
I vote for Andy as his name. Time for another VW animal-naming poll!
here, here...i second the motion...
Congrats to all three of you! You do realize that we need more pictures?
Congrats!! He sounds wonderful :D A naming poll sounds like a good idea. You probably don't want to use this one, but since your subject is "I'm a kitty-mommy!" I immediately thought of Michael Scott, from The Office, because in the last episode he was talking to Darryl about being a baby daddy and that's like the same thing, right? ;)
Yay for the orange yet-to-be-named kitty!! Congrats :)
(I ache for a furry, purry friend.)
(I ache for a furry, purry-or not purry friend.)
Congratulations!!!!!! :iloveyou: :cat:
I'm very happy for you. Growing up I had an orange tabby named Ziggy, he was my best friend & lived a long happy life. I think Morris would be a good name too. Or Tiger. Or Tigger.
Make a new thread-"post new poll." It's right beside new topic. ;)b
I'm voting for Crimson............again.
Your new kitty is a cutie :)>>> Congratulations!
For 17 wonderful years we had an orange tabby named Honey (the children were young, the names they suggested...well, let's just say that Honey was the least icky and offensive) and he was ABSOLUTELY THE sweetest cat in the entire world. Congrats, and it looks like your baby definitely is going to be in the running for that title.
(On the other hand, in mid-July bookpapa and I became new kitty parents to a beautiful little gray tabby girl who thinks I'm a chew toy. I have scars that will be with me the rest of my life. :( )

The Third Shinobi World War (第三次忍界大戦, Daisanji Ninkai Taisen) has been rarely shown in the series outside the Kakashi Gaiden. Because of a decline in national power, the reign of the Five Great Countries was crumbling. Along their borders, skirmishes with smaller nations broke out all the time. The prolonged war gradually spread its fires far and wide, until at last it developed into the Third Shinobi World War. This war turned into an unprecedented war of attrition, tormenting all nations with a shortage of war potential. Not even excluding a great power like Konoha, very young children were thrown unto the battlefield, losing their short lives.[1]
Konohagakure and Iwagakure fought across Kusagakure after the latter had infiltrated it in order to lay siege to the border of the Land of Fire. It was not until the destruction of the Kannabi Bridge that the war began turning in Konoha's favour. Sunagakure also participated in the war, as it was during this war that Sasori earned fame as Sasori of the Red Sand (赤砂のサソリ, Akasuna no Sasori), due to his ingenious puppets dying the sand red with his enemies' blood. Kumogakure was also seemingly a part of this was, with at least Konohagakure clashing with shinobi from this village.[2]
Minato Namikaze became a hero during the war and gained fame as Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō). Kakashi Hatake, who was promoted to jōnin and gained his Sharingan from Obito Uchiha (then believed to be fatally injured and eventually listed as a casualty) during the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, also gained fame as Copy Ninja Kakashi (コピー忍者のカカシ, Kopī Ninja no Kakashi). Itachi Uchiha was traumatised by the violence of the war and grew to seek peace at any cost because of it; The rest of his life would be greatly affected by this experience. The Battle of Kikyō Pass, where Kabuto Yakushi was said to have been found orphaned (although this was later revealed to be a cover), took place in this war.
In Amegakure, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, and many other shinobi formed a group that fought the rule of Hanzō. Hanzō called in the assistance of Danzō and his Root ANBU, as well as held Konan hostage but failed to suppress the group. The confrontation between the two sides lead to a slaughter of all Amegakure and Root shinobi present by Nagato, with the exception of Hanzō who fled and to the death of Yahiko.
In the anime in Part II, Hiruzen Sarutobi made a peace treaty with the Tsuchigumo clan sometime during the war.
- It was claimed in Naruto Shippūden 3: Inheritors of the Will of Fire that during this war, the missing-nin Hiruko was actively working to finish his Chimera Technique and have tracked Kakashi in order to brand him with his Puppet Curse. He claimed that, eventually, the Third Hokage ordered his assassination to be carried out by his former friends, the Sannin.
- It was claimed in Naruto Shippūden 4: The Lost Tower that Rōran was destroyed during this war.

X Factor, the high-profile new talent show airing this fall, will have a headlining judge when it premiers and he's a very familiar face to fans of reality TV.
Simon Cowell, the famously derisive former American Idol host, will sit in judgement of the participants on the Fox show, reports People.
Cowell, who created the original UK version of the show and will serve as an executive producer for the U.S. edition, made the announcement on February 7 at a press event.
U.S. & World
"Once the show goes into production, I become a judge," he said. "Then I have to put my trust into the producers' hands, which is effectively how it works in the U.K. Yes, I am judging."
At the press event, Cowell also revealed two other pieces of news: there will be no age cut off for participants past 12 years of age and that the winner will receive a $5 million record deal with Sony Music, a record for a reality show competition.
"I like the idea that a 12-year-old on this show can compete with an older singer and a singing group," Cowell said via a statement. "I've never believed there should be a cut-off age for talent, and we are going to put our money where our mouths are with the $5 million recording contract. I'm doing this show in America because I genuinely believe we can find a superstar."
Cowell said that he was inspired to remove the age limit after Susan Boyle was discovered on Britain's Got Talent in 2009 for her performance of "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. The then 47-year-old singer became a YouTube sensation and fan favorite after flooring the judge's panel, which included Cowell.
A virtual who's who of big names have been mentioned as potential co-judges. Rihanna, Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry and Will Smith are some of the A-listers floated to serve with Cowell, as has the name of another former Idol judge, Paula Abdul.
"I'm a massive fan of Paula. We honestly haven't made our mind up yet … We're talking to a number of people," Cowell said. We hope to make an announcement in three to four weeks."
X Factor will differ from Idol in several ways. In addition to having no upper age limit, X Factor allows for both individual and group acts and makes the judges serve as mentors to the finalists.
"I wanted to make a show where I could help the competitors on a weekly basis and that's more interesting to me because I will have a lot more to do," Cowell said.
There is a change in the audition process as well. On Idol, would be superstars perform for the panel of judges only; on X Factor, there will be a public audition portion of the show where performers will take part in concerts with audiences of 4,000 to 5,000 people to see how they will deal with the pressure.
Auditions for the show start in March in Los Angeles on March 27. There will be additional tryouts in Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York or New Jersey and Seattle.

After two wildly-entertaining and ofttimes controversial years, the post-Johnny Manziel era at Texas A&M has officially kicked off.
The Aggies opened spring practice Friday evening, with most if not all eyes focused squarely on the beginning of what's expected to be a months-long quarterback competition. The three-headed battle that will sort out a replacement for the 2012 Heisman winner and likely 2014 Top-Five NFL draft pick will include of fifth-year senior Matt Joeckel — Manziel's backup in 2013 — true sophomore Kenny Hill and early enrollee true freshman Kyle Allen.
Joeckel has the kind of experience that might give him an edge over the other two. Hill showed flashes last season that lead some to believe he could, like Manziel two years ago, surprise observers. Allen comes in with the high-profile pedigree, a five-star member of the Aggies' 2014 recruiting class rated as the No. 1 pro-style quarterback in the country and the No. 7 player at any position.
For his part, and least publicly, Kevin Sumlin is keeping an open mind as he embarks on his third spring in College Station. In fact, Sumlin took the play-it-way-down approach when asked about the early fight to replace Manziel.
"It's just the first day. We're running around in our underwear," said Sumlin, presumably metaphorically. "We'll figure it out. We've got another day of that. …
"I was pleased with the tempo, how they got their signals and how they operated the offense. As time goes on and we put more and more on their plate, we'll see how they perform."
It's highly unlikely Sumlin will name a starter as the Aggies exit spring practice, instead allowing the competition to play out at least through the first portion of summer camp before pulling the trigger on a starter. Even if there's a presumptive frontrunner among observers next month, that player may not be the one under center when A&M opens the season Aug. 28 against South Carolina in Columbia.
In late April of 2012, Jameill Showers exited spring as the odds-on favorite to some to succeed Ryan Tannehill in Sumlin's first season in College Station. A little over four months later, it was Manziel taking the field as the starter for the opener against Louisiana Tech on his way to becoming the first freshman to stake claim to the Heisman.

Hey! A Sweep!
The Giants failed to win the last three times Matt pitched, in Oakland June 24, against Cincinnati June 29 and in D.C. on July 5. Matt only picked up an L in the Cincinnati game. So Matt is now in double digits in the W column! I want him to be a 20 game winner in 2012. If you want to see Matt's game score, you'll have to look it up here. I think the game score is rather silly, really. I remember, back in the 1990's, seeing Greg Maddux throw complete games with pitch counts in the 80's and 90's. As I understand it, game score gives extra credit for strike-outs. Is it really better to take three pitches (or more) to strike a guy out than it is to throw one pitch and get an out on a weak dribbler? Discuss. Or not. A day off, then a game Tuesday in Atlanta, where the Braves have been good of late.
And LA lost again! Hey!

It seemed as if Houston had a strategy that if they could not hit him, they should foul off any good pitches, and up his pitch count. It worked to some extent, but they still could not get more than 2 runs.

Just a note on Lincecum. I noticed that despite his 9.00 ERA on the road, his K's/9innings on the road is 11.11. He is more dominant with the K's on the road, and less effective on the road. I think there could be a lot of reasons for this but I would be interested in others' ideas.
- Sun Jul 15, 09:41:00 PM PDT
It's definitely better to strike guys out than to induce grounders, since even weak contact can result in hits / errors. Perhaps, however, I should consider that not even strikeouts guarantee outs after last night's game.
- Sun Jul 15, 09:59:00 PM PDT
Max - I understand the rationale, I just question it. Someone made some choices on the elements and weighting of game scores. They could have just as easily added a negative factor for pitches over 100, for example, or any number of other things. After all, more pitches has to equal more arm wear. Sabermetrics (or, the newer more esoteric stats) make for new and interesting ways to look at the game. But they tend to still be mostly counting stats and, although each creates a new perspective on how to look at players, none is the be-all-end-all stat (not even WAR). Because crazy old men who have written sports columns for newspapers for 30 years never got beyond a deep mistrust of anything new, and considers anyone who doesn't suck up their hoary platitudes as gospel to live in their mother's basement, we seem to have developed a culture war between "defenders of the new statistics" and "I've been watching the game for 80 years, dont' bother me with information." I credit FireJoeMorgan as one of the most important works of critical thinking in our time. OK, maybe that is a bit of a stretch, but I do credit them with awakening in me an awareness of sports journalism that I had never thought about before. With it came an opportunity to think more about about the game and analysis of it. All analysis. Saturday, Tim had a gs of 82; Sunday, Matt had a gs of 62. That's a statistically significant difference. The results, a W for Matt (although, by all rights, Tim should have one, too), adn 2 Ws for the team. Maybe Matt just knows how to win :)
Nomis - Statistical anomaly??? Obviously, to strike out a batter, you have to put the ball in the strike zone (or at least make the batter think the ball is in the strike zone). When you do that, sometimes the batter hits the ball. And when that happens, some of those balls batted do not turn into outs. (Wait, did I just contradict my prior argument?). Tim's BABIP is nearly 100 points higher on the road than at home (.381 vs .288).

I agree about FJM. GameScore is a Bill James creation. Like all stats, it has its limits, but it is a nice snapshot.
Saberistas love strikeouts as they are one of the three "true outcomes" in a PA (K, BB, HR). So if you see TTO you will know what it means. The idea behind TTO is that it is independent of the fielders (DIPS theory is all about "defense independent pitching statistics").

The notion of "pitcher wins" is absurd. TEAMS win games. I could care less who gets the W next to their name. I want the SF Giants to have the most W's in the standings.
- Mon Jul 16, 11:36:00 AM PDT
I think Barry Zito is doing fine and will be great down the stretch.

Right on, mom, love the loyalty to Barry-Z, and I'm proud of you for entering the wireless age!
- Mon Jul 16, 11:47:00 AM PDT
A W for a pitcher does mean something. What it means is that the team has had the ability to score more runs than the pitcher has given up, and that the pitcher has lasted at least five innings. That's not nothing, although you are correct, it is the team W that counts. I like to see our starters pile up Ws because it means not only that they are good, measurable in a number of ways, but also that our offense has at least something going for it, which is an improvement over last year. I want the Giants to have 3 20 W pitchers, and I want it this year. That's not all I want, though. Mark - your picture seems to indicate that there is something on your face. Maybe it is a misprint.

For any batter you can check out his BABIP by dividing the strike zone into nine zones and check out his BABIP in each zone. You can do that for a pitcher too. One can compare the zone, or even the pitch (2 seam fastball, 4 seam fastball, slider, cutter, curve etc.) One can even find the BABIP for ball hit that are not in the strike zone. But one does not have to convince an old sports writer that better stuff, in better locations, to worse hitters, yields a lower BABIP. My friend who is an old time sports writer, says he finds the new stats useful, and some times insightful, but he tells me mostly they just tell him what he already knows.
- Mon Jul 16, 05:06:00 PM PDT
- M.C. O'Connor said...
Exactly, "pitcher wins" is about how a TEAM performs, so why care? Following Matt Cain's career has made me entirely immune to that stat.
What I like about the new stats is the attempt to even things out. We all knew that ERA was inflated at Coors and depressed at PacBell, but by how much? Can you quantify the differences? Traditional batting stats are sadly lacking when it comes to finding the best hitter. The new stats may only be a little better, but at least they are trying, and I like that. You won't see something new without a new set of lenses, eh?
Oh, and I'm clean shaven these days, lost the 'stache and goatee.

Just read an article on hardballtalk - what have royals fans done to deserve Johnny Sanchez? - with Sabey Sabes trades looking good so far this year, what does he do to fortify before the deadline? Most likely small bullpen stuff, but there are some starting pitchers out there if he wanted to shock and awe...
- Tue Jul 17, 11:30:00 AM PDT
- nomisnala said...
I say we wait to see if J.Sanchez passes waivers, and if he does, make him a Tidrow, Rags, project, with eyes this year toward the bullpen. He is out of wack, but the could be fixed, at least enough to be an effective reliever this year.

Home to a bevy of superstars and wannabes, Los Angeles is a buzzing multicultural melting pot blessed by around 330 days of sunshine each year. Long regarded as the hub of modern cinema, the City of Angels plays host to the film industry's glitzy night of nights, the Academy Awards, each year at Hollywood's Kodak theatre. From the iconic Hollywood sign to the Walk of Fame, there are countless camera opportunities to be had, as well as the chance to enjoy some star-spotting!
On the big screen
Film buffs will appreciate a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the magic of the silver screen at Universal Studios Hollywood, and music fans should make a stop at Capitol Records' circular tower on Vine Street. The label's studios are renowned for their unique acoustic properties, and are the home of big-name artists such as the Beastie Boys, Frank Sinatra, and Lily Allen.
If the hype and glamour of Tinseltown gets to be a bit too much, take a break at one of Los Angeles' famous white sandy beaches. Stretching over 72 miles, there's something to suit every taste, from colorful Venice Beach to Malibu's epic surfing beaches. Or you could hire an open-top car and take the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Monica past LA's multi-million-dollar beachside mansions. This state highway offers one of America's best scenic drives, from wild coastal scrub to expansive beach views. And with a mild year-round Mediterranean climate, you'll find it easy to while away a lazy afternoon in the sun.
Multicultural mode
As the second-largest city in the United States, and with more than 220 different languages spoken by its residents, Los Angeles has a truly diverse identity. Used as a backdrop to films including 'Rush Hour' and 'Lethal Weapon 4', Chinatown is the perfect place to catch an independent art exhibition or sit down to a Peking Duck.
Step back in time along Olvera Street, regarded as the birthplace of Los Angeles, where Mexican and Latino culture is kept alive with traditional market stalls and restaurants. Or check out the many clubs and karaoke bars (noraebangs) in Koreatown, well-known for its thriving nightlife.
Rodeo Drive, baby
Of course, Los Angeles is all about retail therapy, and where better to indulge than in one of the city's legendary shopping enclaves. See and be seen along trendy Melrose Avenue, where big international designers vie for attention, or dig out some rare vintage finds on La Brea Avenue. For the ultimate in LA style, have your own 'Pretty Woman' moment on Rodeo Drive, where the rich and famous top up their Chanel, Gucci, and Cartier collections.
A city of style and opportunities, it's no wonder Los Angeles has long been a magnet for travellers and young hopefuls alike. With its mix of fame, glamour, and natural beauty, there's no doubt the magic of the City of Angels lives on.

England humiliate India with 10-wicket win, level series 1-1
England win the second Test match against India in Wankhede by 10 wickets to level series.
India's ploy to prepare a spinning track backfired heavily as a spirited England inflicted a humiliating ten-wicket victory on the clueless hosts in the second cricket Test to level the four-match series 1-1 here today.
Resuming at a precarious 117 for seven after conceding a vital 86-run first innings lead, the Indians were skittled out for a paltry 141 within an hour's play on the fourth morning, leaving the visitors an easy target of 57 for victory which they achieved without much fuss with more than five sessions to spare.
Only Gautam Gambhir (65) provided a semblance of resistance before being the last man to be dismissed though television replays indicated that he was distinctly unlucky to be ruled out.
Left-arm spinner Monty Panesar was the pick of the English bowlers with figures of 22-3-81-6 for a match haul of 11 wickets while Graeme Swann snapped up the remaining four wickets in a fine exhibition of spin bowling.
The two England openers Alastair Cook (18) and Nick Compton (30) overhauled the target in just 9.4 overs to complete the rout in a match which was dominated by the visitors in conditions which were tailor-made for the home team spinners.
The moment of triumph came through four byes off R Ashwin which triggered off scenes of jubilation in the England dressing room with the players hugging each other and celebrating a remarkable victory. It was a pathetic display by the Indians who were thoroughly outplayed in their own den.
While the spinners were a complete letdown on a track which suited them, the famed batting line up also left much to be desired failing to counter the spin threat of Panesar and Swann.
England, on the other hand, showed remarkable character and resilience to bounce back and square the series 1-1 after suffering a nine-wicket drubbing in the first Test in Ahmedabad.
The turnaround was largely possible due to Kevin Pietersen and Cook's centuries in the first innings and the brilliant bowling efforts of Panesar and Swann. The two teams will now travel to Kolkata for the third Test which begins from December 5.
India, who were tottering at 117 for 7 last evening against the double spin attack of Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann, lost their remaining wickets this morning in 11.1 overs and 43 minutes.
With Gautam Gambhir the only top order batsman left to carry on the fight to the rival camp, India stared defeat in the face last evening itself and any hopes of a late turnaround was belied. Gambhir was last out, declared leg before, off an inside edge for a defiant 65, but with the top batsmen collapsing like nine pins against Panesar and Swann last evening after India batted for the second time in the game, there was little hope of escaping defeat.
It was India's seventh Test defeat in 23 games, as compared to nine wins, against all comers at this venue, and their third in 7 games against England and second on the trot. The hosts had previously suffered reverses against their English rivals in 1980 and 2006 - the last time the two met at this ground. Overall, it was India s 39th defeat, and twelfth at home, in 105 Tests.
Graeme Swann got the initial wicket in his first over itself, after an expensive opening over by Panesar, by dismissing overnight not out batsman Harbhajan Singh. Singh, who struck a lofted four off Panesar, checked his cut shot to a ball that turned and bounced from the off spinner and offered a tame catch to slip fielder Jonathan Trott to depart for 6 after facing 5 balls.
Panesar, who was hit for two fours in his first over, got rid off no. 10 batsman Zaheer Khan (1) when his sweep shot ballooned up off the top edge for wicket keeper Matt Prior to run a few yards and take it near the square leg position and India had slumped to 131 for 9 in the fifth over of the morning.
Gambhir, with only last man Pragyan Ojha for company, farmed the strike to help the team add 11 more runs before he was last out, leg before to Swann while defending as he was rapped on the back pad.
Replays suggested the left handed opener got an inside edge on to the pad, and Gambhir was understandably not happy with umpire Tony Hill s decision. Gambhir, who missed becoming only the fourth Indian opener to carry his bat through after Sunil Gavaskar (1983), Virender Sehwag (2008) and Rahul Dravid (2011), showed the only sign of defiance from the home team in the second innings while his other teammates flopped. The Delhi left hander, not out on 53 last evening, batted for over three hours, and struck six fours in 142 balls before becoming Swann s fourth victim of the innings.
Panesar, who ended the innings with brilliant figures of 6 for 81, thus equaled the late Hedley Verity s record (for a spin bowler) haul of 11-153, in 1933-34 at Chennai (then Madras), on Indian soil. The left arm bowler's match figures read a superb 11 for 210 while Swann s read 8 for 113 as the two bowlers, with little support from the seam bowlers, brought about the famed Indian batting line-up's downfall on a track where the ball turned viciously and bounced alarmingly.
Panesar's 11 victims included the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar in both the innings, in what could be the veteran batsman s farewell Test on his home ground.
For India, Cheteshwar Pujara, who made a splendid 135 in the first innings following his 206 not out in Ahmedabad, was the stand-out batsman while left-arm Ojha was the most successful bowler with his first innings haul of 5 for 143.
Gambhir struck form after a long lean patch in the second innings fiasco to delay the inevitable but all other batsmen flopped on a spinning track, which was desired by skipper Mehendra Singh Dhoni after the hard-earned win at Ahmedabad on a low and slow wicket. Virender Sehwag, in his 100th Test, could get only 30 and 9, after his run-a-ball 117 in the series opener, while Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh floundered on both the occasions.
In bowling, the biggest disappointment was Ravichandran Ashwin who could not stick to a consistent line and struggled to be penetrative despite bowling 42 overs in the first innings for 2 wickets conceding 145 runs.
Harbhajan Singh, in his comeback 99th Test, was also a pale shadow of the bowler he once was, indicated by his haul of 406 wickets prior to this game.

Last year Aksys Games gave many Western gamers their first encounter with character pillow covers and breast mouse pads with Record of Agarest War. Unfortunately the game packed with these goodies wasn't particularly good. Second time's the charm, right?
Aksys is gearing up to bring Idea Factory, Compile Heart and RED Entertainment's Record of Agarest War 2 to North American PlayStation 3 consoles this summer, with Ghostlight Ltd. handling the European release. Featuring a completely revamped combat system, full HD graphics, and an all-new world of Agarest to freely explore, it's already got several legs up on its predecessor.
And that's not mentioning the addition of PlayStation Move compatible Bathtub, Shiatsu, and Massage mini-games, perhaps the ultimate realization of the device's potential.
Hopefully Aksys will skip the sexy, suggestive box set this time around so I don't feel like a complete pervert picking it up at the store. If not, there's always Amazon.

Hello my lovely Subscribers, Followers, Visitors, and Friends!
You are all most welcome to my blog site. I'm going to pause my Platform mini-series to let you know some VERY EXCITING news—today is the release of my very first book: Godly Government!
Godly Government is an eBook which is broken down into three sections: 1) "Godly Government" which is a chapter from my forthcoming book The Final Hour (you'll be hearing more about that book in the near future), 2) similar articles written by yours truly for the What Say Ye? Column of Shulamite Women Community Magazine (SWCM), as well as a 3) Prayer Guide Index for our president, nation, economy, etc. I believe that this short, yet poignant eBook is a message to our nation (and other nations) about what how God would have His Church on the earth to vote, act, and respond to the current political situations we find ourselves in.
Godly Government is being "soft launched" today on the Shulamite Women website. I want to take this moment to give a big shout out and thank you to the Publisher of Shulamite Women, founder of Divine Works Publishing House, as well as the head of Divine Graphix Inc. Without her I truly could not—and would not—have completed this project!
You can purchase your very own copy of Godly Government at the Shulamite Women Online Store at Noon EST today (11.6.12) for just $10.00 with a **special rate of $5.00 for all government students/educators**! Aren't you excited?? I am!
Today is also the kick-off of Godly Government's Blog Campaign wherein all of the participants will be tweeting, Facebooking, blogging, pinning, etc. their honest reviews of my eBook. I've also created a Facebook Event Page for the launch as well. Please be sure to "attend" and let all your Facebook friends know!
I hope you'll tell all of your family, friends, acquaintances, pastors, etc. about this book project. I certainly believe in it and think you will too!
Please be sure to "like" my new Facebook authoress page, subscribe to my new authoress blog, and follow me on Twitter if you don't already.
I can't wait to hear from all of you about your thoughts on Godly Government!
Most Warmly,

So far, Indiana University is a yes and another yes.
Lake Zurich senior guards Ryan Roach and John Repplinger both got accepted there.
Now, theyre waiting to hear back from the University of Illinois. They both applied there, too, and their moms are keeping their fingers crossed. Kim Roach and Justine Repplinger both went to Illinois and (no pressure!) theyd love to see their sons carry on the tradition.
Well, we really like the business program at Indiana, John Repplinger said sheepishly.
Come on, its got to be Illinois, Kim Roach smiled as she sat around her kitchen table with Justine, Ryan and John.
Yes, lets just wait until we hear from Illinois, Justine Repplinger said with a grin.
Indiana or Illinois, the one thing for certain at this point is that Roach and Repplinger will be going to the same college...and seeing even more of each other than they do now.
When we applied for housing, we applied to be roommates, too, Ryan Roach said.
Weve made a lot of great memories already, Repplinger said. Itll keep going in college.
Roach and Repplinger have accepted, albeit reluctantly, the inevitable. They know that the high school memories are coming to an end and that theyll be done playing organized basketball with each other in a month or two when this season comes to an end.
But theyve never been able to wrap their heads around the idea of parting ways like most high school teammates do when its time to go to college.
Then again, the boys arent your typical teammates. They are also best friends, and have practically grown up as brothers. They did playdates together as toddlers, went to the same pre-school and played on most of the same youth sports teams.
I dont have a brother, Roach said. But John is like my brother.
Technically, Roach and Repplinger are the next closest thing. They are cousins.
Kim Roach and Justine Repplinger are twin sisters who actually roomed together themselves at the University of Illinois. They are two of four Centella sisters who all grew up in Palatine, all went to the University of Illinois and all settled in Lake Zurich as adults.
In fact, three of the four sisters even live in the same subdivision. And two bought lots in which the backyards back up to each other.
When I joked with the boys if theyd someday buy houses in the same subdivision, just like their moms and aunts have, they acted as if they had pondered that possibility already.
I wouldnt put it past us, Roach said with a big grin.
For now, though, the boys are focused on keeping the smiles on their faces while theyre on the basketball court.
Theyve had plenty of happy moments already this season in leading Lake Zurich, a program that has struggled in recent years, to a 13-11 record, wins in 9 of its last 12 games and its first-ever win over perennial power Warren since the school joined the North Suburban Conference more than 10 years ago.
Its kind of sad to think about this experience almost being over, said Repplinger, one of 12 total cousins in a family in which 11 of the cousins have played sports for Lake Zurich either at the youth or high school level. Thats why were really trying to give it our all this season. We want to finish the season strong.
Roach and Repplinger will help the Bears do that in different ways.
Roach is offensive-minded, a 3-point threat and one of the teams leading scorers. He averages about 10 points per game. He heard extra loud cheers from the Lake Zurich faithful, which is usually dominated by his immediate and extended family, when he scored a career-high 18 points against Wheaton North earlier this season.
Ryan is a really good shooter. He can score at will, Repplinger confirmed. He does the offense and I do the defense.
Repplinger is among Lake Zurichs leaders in steals and charges taken and is considered the teams defensive stopper.
John can shut down a bunch of different kinds of players, Roach said. We always put him on the other teams best player.
Repplinger is just as relentless when he guards Roach in practice, or in one-on-one games at the YMCA. Perhaps even more so.
The boys may be friends and even family, but they show each other no mercy on the court.
At practice, we dont really like guarding each other because we just go at each other harder, and we guard each other harder, Repplinger said. It makes us better.
We definitely push each other, Roach said. We always have someone to go shoot with or lift with. I remember one time over winter break when we were like freshmen or sophomores, we went to the YMCA together to work out for 11 straight days.
Usually over breaks from school, the boys join their large extended family for ski trips or weekends at their grandparents lake house or vacations to Hawaii and Europe. Every holiday is spent together with family as well.
I think the best part about having a big family that is close is the simple, everyday stuff, Roach said. We all see each other all the time. I can walk over to my aunts house for her good desserts or I can hang out with John and my other cousins all the time. It makes you realize how you can always rely on your family.Kim Roach and Justin Repplinger didnt intend for their families to be quite so intersected. Their pregnancies werent purposely coordinated some 18 years ago.
But they wont deny that they have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of watching their boys grow up together. And it warms their hearts to hear their boys speak so glowingly about their families.
We taught them family first and they really live by that, Justine Repplinger said.
Its been so nice to watch the boys develop into two nice young men, Kim Roach said. I think having such a big family and all that support helps you grow up with a lot of confidence and self-esteem. For the boys, having each other helped them growing up.
Having each other will help in Bloomington or Champaign, too.
We always do everything together, Repplinger said. Were best friends and we look out for each other. Im sure we always will.

Our old buddy Pierre just posted both of the clips below to his Instagram account, and I cannot stop laughing at them for reasons I can't completely explain. Maybe it's the music, maybe it's the slo-mo, or maybe it's just because I'm desperate for things to laugh at now that I've been robbed of JaVale's on-court hijinks. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
First up, we have Nate Robinson doing exactly the kind of thing you would expect Nate Robinson to do during pregame warmups:
Now it's J.J. Hickson's turn to hit us with some razzle dazzle. There is some real comedic timing here, and you should appreciate it:

Scotty McCreery Performs 'See You Tonight' on 'American Idol'
'American Idol' season 10 champion Scotty McCreery returned to the 'Idol' stage on Thursday night (April 11) to perform his new single 'See You Tonight,' introducing fans to a little bit of a new sound.
McCreery shot to fame after winning the show; his debut album 'Clear as Day' has been certified Platinum. 'See You Tonight' is the first single from a forthcoming second studio project that marks McCreery's debut as a songwriter, and that's part of what makes it work. The song seems more from his own perspective than simply another track from the Nashville mass market song factory, making it more unique than some of his past efforts.
Dressed in a simple black t-shirt and black jeans, McCreery delivered the song with his trademark aw-shucks confidence. Framed by jaunty acoustic guitar chords, an insistent beat and a bright guitar solo, 'See You Tonight' is exactly the kind of track that McCreery should be doing at this stage of his career, and he made the most of the opportunity to launch it in a big way Thursday night.

Prototype Green Terrace
This project has evolved from the Shoreditch Prototype House and further develops the idea of greening the city through the use of vertical planting.
The four storey terraced houses are set back from the pavement behind front gardens with recycling stores and planting defining the property threshold.
The ground floor houses kitchen, dining, utility and wc, with access to the rear garden. Internal partitions are non structural allowing the upper two floors to be subdivided to suit lifetime homes requirements. The top floor is set back behind a green terrace and can be used as a home office or further bedroom space.
Steel decks provide balconies and privacy screens while planting grown over the mesh gives shade in summer and allows direct solar heating in winter.
We see the project as a natural evolution of the urban terraced house built to zero carbon energy standards for 21st century living.

For the first 13 years of the company's history—1914 through 1926—all Dodge Brothers cars were powered by the same basic four-cylinder engine. This tireless workhorse was unofficially known as the Dodge Big Four.
The Big Four was an eager performer from the start. When the first test units were completed, the engineers were surprised to discover that instead of the 30 horsepower they'd projected, the engine easily made 35 hp. Larger than the engines in some other mid-price cars, the…Read More

Hanley a late scratch with shoulder irritation
CINCINNATI -- Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez was a late scratch from Wednesday's game against the Reds at Great American Ball Park due to acromioclavicular joint irritation in his right shoulder.
Chone Figgins was moved from the seventh spot in the order to the second spot and played third base, while Miguel Rojas was inserted into the seventh spot in the lineup, playing shortstop.
Ramirez, whs is batting .255 with 10 homers and 38 RBIs, did pinch-hit with the bases loaded and one out in the seventh inning of a 5-0 loss to the Reds, grounding into a double play.
"We knew it in BP a little bit," manager Don Mattingly said after the game. "I could tell by the way he was throwing the ball across the infield, he was having trouble getting loose and as he kept throwing it seemed like it got better, but I think with the delay right before the game [with the tarp coming out onto the field] we had to pull the plug; it started stiffening up again."
Mattingly said the soreness only manifests when Ramirez throws, and he is able to swing the bat without any problems.
"At this point it does not [concern me]," Mattingly said. "But, again, I think it can turn into more, but we'll just have to wait and see. It sounds like he could have a tough time playing tomorrow, but again, we'll see in the morning."
