Neosho senior Morgan Rathmann had quite a night for the Lady Wildcats basketball team on Monday as she scored 19 points en route to a 48-15 thumping of Monett.
Neosho senior Morgan Rathmann had quite a night for the Lady Wildcats basketball team on Monday as she scored 19 points en route to a 48-15 thumping of Monett.
After falling hard to end the Freeman Lady Eagles Classic in Joplin on Saturday, the Lady Wildcats bounced back with a much-needed victory against the Lady Cubs. Rathmann took control of the game and helped steer Monett into the loss column for the fifth time this season. Her offensive minded approach pleased Neosho coach Lance Robbins afterwards.
"I was very pleased with how hard we played," Robbins said. "We had good effort and good intensity from everyone. We had some kids that stepped up. Morgan Rathmann had a great game for us. She was very offensive minded, and we need her to do that more often."
Corea Lowery followed Rathmann with eight points while Brooke Stauffer tossed in seven, Whitney Wise four, Morgan Rogers and Matty Liedtke three and Chelsey Henry two.
Neosho's defense also was lights out, forcing the Lady Cubs to turn the ball over 35 times in the contest.
Cheryl Barnes and Brooke McLean each scored six for the Lady Cubs while Jessica Harper pitched in three and Haylee Morris two.
Neosho took a 13-4 lead in the first quarter and closed the first half with a 29-8 advantage.
The Lady Wildcats improved to 3-2 overall. They'll entertain Seneca at 6 p.m. tonight with the varsity boys game immediately following.
Neosho also won the junior varsity game on Monday, 32-24.

Inside the Lautner Wolff House
Name: Wolff House by John Lautner
Location: Hollywood Hills
Size: 3 bedroom
How do you decorate a museum-quality "homage to modernism"? The Wolff House was built by John Lautner in 1961 in typical Lautner wood, stone and glass form, and was notably most recently purchased/flipped by actor Vincent Gallo after restoring the architectural treasure under the Mills Act Historical Property Contract Program. Take a peek inside what was done before selling it for inspiration you can use in your home…
Kristin Kilmer Interior Design worked on the restoration and and interior decor of the Wolff House, incorporating recycled and restored furniture pieces that mixes in well with the natural surface beauty of Lautners' interiors. A respectful palette of earth/foilage colours are used throughout, allowing the interior to naturally flow out into the view offered by the expansive glass that wraps around the building in a sort of treehouse effect. People often ignore what's viewable and outside of their window; drawing upon colours and forms outside can help expand perceived space of both smaller and large interiors…a great trick to steal for those with a great view.
The home's green character isn't limited to just colours. The interior was decorated with furniture and decorative pieces with an eco-developed nature in tune with Lautner's naturalistic architectural features. Carpeting constructed from recycled Coke bottles, a yellow desk made from architectural levels, vintage lighting, sustainable upholstery/fabrics, and non-toxic finishes were used throughout to complement a home originally built with reclaimed wood from railroads. Each of the decorative elements within the rooms have a cohesive relationship with the walls, window and view outside that we hope to one day emulate in a home even a fraction as beautiful as the Wolff House.
More about the Wolff House at JohnLautner.org.
* Interior designer Kristen Kilmer contacted us to clarify about the project: "The house was bought from Vincent by my client Michael La Fetra who helped me make the restoration possible."

With eight minutes left in the fourth quarter yesterday afternoon, the crowd at Barclays Center began chanting "Brooook-lynnn … Brooook-lynnn."
Perhaps not so coincidently, the Nets launched an 11-2 run that secured a 98-85 victory over the Blazers yesterday and reinforced the notion Barclays Center is fast becoming the kind of home-court advantage they envisioned since the first shovel was turned to build the place.
"When the crowd starts to holler, 'Brooklyn … Brooklyn,' we all love it," Nets coach Avery Johnson said with a smile. "This is what we wanted. This is what we've been waiting for and we knew that our fans would have that type of effect on our games and I hope it continues."
Just how loyal and passionate Barclays Center is for the Nets will be tested tonight when the Knicks visit for the first Subway Showdown of the season. In past years when the Knicks played the Nets at the Meadowlands or the Prudential Center in Newark, there seemed to be as many if not more fans dressed in orange and blue.
The Nets hope that ends tonight when the two teams play a make-up game of the season opener postponed by Hurricane Sandy.
"I hope there's a difference," said Nets guard Deron Williams. "I think there will be a difference. There's definitely going to be some Knicks fans there, but I don't think it will be as bad as it was last year and the year before that."
Perhaps it's better for the Nets the game was postponed. The season opener would have been filled with unfamiliarity and uncertainty. The Knicks and Nets were stocked with new faces. The Nets were playing in a new building. Now nearly a month into the season, the Knicks and Nets have established themselves as likely playoff teams, who figure to battle for positioning in the Atlantic Division.
"It's a big game from those purposes," Williams said.
The Nets improved to 6-1 at home yesterday, including quality wins over the Celtics and Clippers. The crowds dressed in their black and white have been enthusiastic and vocal. Johnson's ideal vision of Barclays Center is to be like the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, where the raucous crowds impact games.
"Our fans are an integral part of what we're all about," Johnson said. "Oklahoma City, those fans and that crowd, if you asked Kevin Durant, he'd say they're a major part of their success."
Nets-Knicks has always been a rivalry based more on proximity than competition. When the Knicks were good, the Nets were never really competitive except during the Drazen Petrovic years. When the Nets were good under Jason Kidd, the Knicks were bad. With both teams, apparently headed toward the playoffs, the New York-Brooklyn rivalry is getting off to a heated start.
"During the course of an 82-game season, there's only a handful of games that you can get fired up for," NBA broadcaster and New York native Mike Breen said. "When you've got a close rival, that's good and fighting for the division title, it makes the regular-season games fun and anticipated. The whole key is they all have to be good at the same time. Otherwise it doesn't mean anything."
It will mean something tonight.
"What I love about Brooklyn is all the fans are cheering for us," said Kris Humphries. "Hopefully the Brooklyn chant will come out and we'll get it going. For us and me as a player, we want to put ourselves in position to win games at home and hold it down for the people that come out and support us."
For too many years, games against the Knicks always felt like road games even when the Nets were on their home floor. That figures to change tonight when the Knicks come to "Brooook-lynnn."

Julie's Cheerful Calm Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Julie
- Location:
- Indianapolis, IN
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- Cheerful calm. I also love the mementos in the room, like the vestment cabinet I found in my best friend's garage and the curiosities on the wall above our headboard. The tiny gallery includes a campaign button from my husband's father's father and a spool of thread from my mother's mother. I found the fresh take on the Union Jack in England, and I made the custom silhouette pillows of Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth with acrylic paint, butcher paper, and a little imagination. All together, and it feels like a breath of fresh air.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- Leave room to breathe! De-decorate and de-clutter to give your mind and soul a respite. And because you've pared down, you surround yourself with your favorite things – belongings that feel most like a warm hug, both literally and figuratively.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- In this multitasking world, it's lovely to have a bedroom that is just that – a room for our bed. It's not an office or a movie theatre. It's a place where my husband and I rest and reconnect, and where our little girl comes to snuggle on weekend mornings.

SideBox.com necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 197 diseños de 65 diseñadores freelance.
We are a team of very experienced entrepreneurs who have a track record of success and innovation in easy-to-use layman's software, but who need help with our branding. Winning logo will proudly decorate our website, application, and our promotional shirts, caps, and marketing gear. We would love to form a permanent relationship with the right designer, but not required.
Our typical customer is a small business owner, usually in the home / auto / construction repair, sales, or service oriented industry who probably drives a truck with his business logo and phone number on the door. SideBox is their preferred iPhone (and Droid) app - helping them convert leads into appointments, appointments into jobs, and jobs into payments. In other words, SideBox is their online toolbox they use to manage their sales cycle and convert leads into cash.
We are looking for a logo represent our product both on the web and in the app store. The web version of the logo may incorporate the product name as two words "Side Box" or as one "SideBox", but this is not a requirement.
Concepts we've been tossing around:
1) Simple, perhaps box-shaped - as our product name implies. Our product impression is partially dependent upon app-stores, so we want this to be easily recognizable.
2) Tread plate / diamond plate - our customers are familiar with truck tool boxes, and tread-plate is bad-ass!
3) Key in tool-box lock, such as this: http://www.highwayproducts.com/Hansen_lock.jpg
4) Staying away from metallic - we would love some corporate colors, and since we have no color skills ourselves, we need help!
** Please note that the current content at the website SideBox.com is not ours - the name transfer has not yet completed.

If you are fortunate enough to live near a body of water that contains King Salmon I would suggest you go try to catch them... Hooking, fighting, and landing these massive fish is an adventure you will not forget.
The flies I use for Kings are very simple. Large wooly buggers in assorted colors do the trick, I personally like pink, red, purple, and chartreuse. If you want a high chance of Kings actually taking the fly (as opposed to sight fishing aka lining) stay off the gravel and stick to deeper pools and runs where the fish can't see you, and you can't see them. Drifting along the bottom, or swinging will elicit fair strikes, and a fight you will not forget!
King salmon fights usually take a great amount of effort for the angler and the fish. Even though these fish are destined for death, handle and revive them properly so they have a chance of spawning. Using a net will avoid the fish from damaging flops on the shore, and it will also allow you to keep the fish in the water. A lengthy revival may be needed, so take your time and make sure the fish can swim away with full strength.

Flavor trends for 2007
Will acai be the next pomegranate? Is it time to develop Argentine frozen dinners? Will dark chocolate work on pizza? Here are our predictions for the flavors and ingredients that will be hot this year.
If flavor trends for the new year can be summed up in a single word, it's complexity. Flavors must extend beyond fusion. A single spice isn't enough: It needs to be combined with additional spices and flavors. Fruits aren't simply fruits, they're superfruits. Fruit flavors must be unique, exotic, varietal and chock full of naturally occurring antioxidants.
Photo: Kraft Food Ingredients
As foods become more complex, so does flavor. Flavors overlay each other, introducing more and more flavor notes. These foods are so interesting that overeating occurs less often, accomplishing (eventually) the real No. 1 food industry objective of holding obesity at bay.
One of the biggest current societal pushes is to prevent obesity from childhood on. This calls for tasty foods for kids that keep caloric content under control. Many flavor companies currently have a great deal of research under way studying children's preferences in an effort to encourage kids to eat what they ought to. The resulting products are seen in breakfast cereals with fruity bits, yogurt flavors and cinnamon (not sugary) notes. Interestingly, they test well with kids while sounding like flavors Mom would approve of.
But eating healthy doesn't mean eating boring. As flavor technologies have improved, sophistication decrees that simple flavors aren't enough. Flavors mimic the trendy foods appearing in restaurants and on grocery shelves. Food trends lead to flavor trends; both get more complicated and sophisticated by the week. As consumers become more widely traveled, they are accepting of new cuisines, and therefore of flavors from places that American's haven't always visited.
Fruits from far away
Fruit flavors are likely to continue the trend begun in earnest last year: exotic fruits with lots of antioxidants. Once-unfamiliar names such as acai, goji berries and mangosteen are becoming ask-for flavors and ingredients, especially in beverages. Look at what's happened to pomegranate.
"We're seeing interest in acai fruit with cherry flavors, pomegranate with blueberry and cherry juice. The added plus of high levels of antioxidants is the key," says Ron Arb, national sales manager of Abelei Flavors Inc. (www.abelei.com), Aurora, Ill.
"We will see more flavors from Latin America and Asia," predicts Mark Bento, technical director of savory flavors at Mastertaste (www.mastertaste.com), Teterboro, N.J. "Examples are sweet-tart fruits like acai from Latin America and yuzu from Asia. William-Sonoma recently released Tonton Red Miso Glaze with Yuzo." That's a mouthful.
Pomegranate, which showed up last year in everything from ice cream to breakfast cereals, shows no signs of retreating. Its key ingredient, antioxidants, has been touted as helpful to combat aging, heart disease, cancer, even Alzheimer's disease.
Even common berries are finding new interest thanks to the public's increasing understanding of antioxidants. Another fruit flavor growing in popularity appears to be "mixed berry," which can be anything from loganberries and raspberries, blueberries and huckleberries, marion berries plus gooseberries, or any combination in between. But mixed berry is no longer the "red" flavor popular in our childhood.
Today's mixed berry has distinct, blended, finished flavors with some level of sophistication. They are found in yogurt, ready-to-eat cereals, beverages, sports drinks and salad dressings.
Citrus fruits are no longer lemon and orange, but are blood orange, Meyer lemon, and Key lime. The availability of these varietal fruits has added a need for flavors that match them, and ingredient suppliers are responding.
Two of the more exotic flavors are feijoa and mojito, flavors that are becoming more available. Feijoa, a small fruit that is also called pineapple guava, is native to South America, and has been grown in southern California. They are now popular in New Zealand, where they are being grown as a source of food and flavor.
This year's McCormick Flavor Forecast explores pairings of unlikely flavors, such as smoked tea and sea salt. Scroll down to find other flavor pairings.
"Feijoa is a very exotic fruit now imported from New Zealand. It's something different, and rich in antioxidants, so consumers want to try it," observes Greg Bach, director of product innovation for Synergy Flavors (www.synergytaste.com), Wauconda, Ill. "The Mojito, a cocktail made with mint and lime plus rum, was supposed to be Hemingway's favorite drink, and the flavor combination lends itself to other foods and beverages."
Juices and other fruit-based beverages may be poised for a great year as schools begin replacing carbonated soft drinks in vending machines, notes Arb.
While we're on the subject, beverage flavors are not restricted to beverages anymore. Coffee shows renewed popularity in desserts, including some very fancy pastries. Coca-Cola has introduced a cola with black coffee (Blak), and coffee is showing growth in dairy products such as yogurt and ice cream. Coffee, called mocha when used with chocolate, takes on extra panache when identified as "fair trade." While that moniker doesn't change the taste any, it does appeal to the social conscience.

A posse was on the hunt Sunday to lasso interest in the Pine Cliff Equestrian Trails at the Croatan National Forest.
A posse was on the hunt Sunday to lasso interest in the Pine Cliff Equestrian Trails at the Croatan National Forest.
A group of 86 horse riders turned out to celebrate completion of 13 miles of trails and draw attention to the need for camping facilities at the site as a draw for equine tourism.
"We just want everybody to know about it. We�re trying to get camping here," said Buffy Blood, president of the Benefiting Intracoastal Trails, a nonprofit organization formed eight years ago to spearhead the effort to create the equestrian trails in the national forest.
"We�re trying to get more interest and more facilities here in the eastern part of North Carolina. There are camping areas for horses in other parts of the state. and we�d love to see it start here."
The effort to get the trail established goes back more than half a dozen years, said Dennis Foster, assistant ranger for recreation and engineering at the Croatan National Forest.
Foster said a $71,000 federal Race to the Top grant funded creation of the trails, and another $75,000 grant would pay for completion of the parking lot.
"It�s a unified effort. They help us maintain it," Foster said of the trails group. "They did all the mowing this year and all the brushing and a lot of maintenance. There�s a lot of maintenance. Because everything grows here, they�ve got to be brushed twice a year."
Foster said the horse trails are rare in the eastern part of the state and he has already been contacted by two other groups about them.
"It�s going to be a point of destination for the Croatan," he said. "There are not many trails of this magnitude in eastern North Carolina.
"Once that it becomes established I believe that people are going to drive from all across the state to do this trail."
Foster said the trail has a variety of scenery.
"It goes down along the river. There�s some really magnificent things down there to look at," he said. "It goes all the way through upland hardwood to bottomland hardwood."
Edward Lloyd, of Havelock, came out for Sunday�s ride.
"This is very much an asset for the horse people around here," he said. "One of our big hopes is that the forest service will turn this into a facility where we can camp overnight with our horse trailers. That�s something that we really need because it would help draw in more people from further away."
Lloyd said there were about 300,000 horses in the state that are part of a multi-billion dollar industry.
"Some place like Pine Cliff here is very, very important and the economic impact is just far reaching, much more than anybody realizes," he said.
Peggy Grammer, of Newport, also came out for Sunday�s ride through the forest.
"It�s beautiful," she said. "We just so thoroughly enjoy coming out here. It�s a piece of paradise because of the serenity, the woods, the water. It�s just a great ride."
She thinks camping on the trails is a good idea.
"If you come from a long distance, you want to have a place to camp and keep you�re horses," Grammer said. "The more we promote it, the more people will come out."
All of the trails start at a gravel parking lot one mile down the access road to the Pine Cliff Recreation Area on the left. The trees at the start are marked with large red splotches of paint. There are three trails � red, yellow and blue � of various lengths.
"I love to ride here," said Debbie Geraty, a member of the trails group from Newport. "We love the fact that since we live on the flatlands, this has a little bit of up and down. You get a lot of the changes in the colors of the seasons. You can ride along the Neuse River and walk on the sand and then head back into the forest. It�s one of my favorite places really. It gives you the illusion that you�re in the mountains but you�re really not."
Mary Humphreys called the trails beautiful and said the blue trail is her favorite.
"The horses love it," she said. "It�s just very peaceful and quite out here."
Eventually the trials could be linked with the state�s Mountains to the Sea Trail.
There is no admission charge to use the trails. The use of motorized all terrain vehicles is prohibited and there is a $500 fine for anyone caught using an ATV on the trail. Pedestrians and bicycles are allowed.

Kendl Johnson angrily tells Cesar Vialpando and CJ about construction workers speaking disrespectfully to her

- Not to be confused with Deconstruction for Beginners, a mission in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Deconstruction is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by sister Kendl from Carl's garage in the industrial district of Doherty in San Fierro, San Andreas.
Carl goes in the garage, checking on his team, who are working on a Remington. Suddenly, Kendl comes in, infuriated and all. Kendl says that the construction workers from the construction site next to the garage have been a nuisance to her, calling her names and hitting on her. Cesar quickly tries to go there to teach them a lesson, but Carl insists that he do it.
Carl goes to the nearby construction site to try and scare off the firm. Carl destroys six portables using a bulldozer in less than three minutes, which is the time when cops arrive. After that, Carl, who is still using the bulldozer, pushes a portable toilet into a ditch, since the foreman is in the portable toilet. Carl then uses a cement truck to fill the ditch with cement, burying the foreman alive.
Carl Johnson: Hey, homies!
Cesar Vialpando: What up, Carl?
Kendl Johnson: What the fuck is going on? Do I look like a hooker to you?
Carl Johnson: What?
Kendl Johnson: Those assholes keep saying shit to me.
Cesar Vialpando: Who said this to you?
Kendl Johnson: The construction workers up that hill.
Cesar Vialpando: I'm gonna fuck them up...
Carl Johnson: No, hold up. I got this. I need to go and teach them a little respect, huh?
Cesar Vialpando: That's right.
Carl Johnson: I been thinking about getting me some new land anyway.
(Foreman, coming out of the portable toilet)
Foreman: What's all that damned clatter?
(Foreman looks around the site)
Foreman: Holy crap! I didn't see nothing!
There is no monetary reward for this mission, but the missions Photo Opportunity and Back to School are unlocked.
Carl Johnson takes out the workers.

- No matter what you put in the ditch before you bury the foreman, the cutscene will always only show you burying the foreman and therefore, the thing you put in the ditch disappears.
- After this mission is completed, the spot where the foreman is buried in concrete will always be filled in and is completely driveable over.
- Despite claiming to want the construction workers' land and killing the entire team, CJ never uses the spot afterward.

Triton gym focus of rehabilitation
BOURBON — The movie "Hoosiers" contains an authentic historical setting: an actual high school gym from the 1950s used to film the event in 1954 in mythical "Hickory" (really Milan, although the gym used is located elsewhere) in which a small Indiana school wins the state basketball championship.
Another gym of this period is located in Bourbon, and is the sole remaining vestige of Bourbon High School, which merged with Etna Green and Tippecanoe High Schools to create the Triton school district. Many Bourbon residents remember fondly their high school days as players or spectators in the gym.
Located adjacent to Triton Elementary School, it is still used for school purposes such as athletic practices (functioning as an auxiliary gym), the elementary school madrigal dinner, and other events requiring a large space. The original gym floor is in remarkably good shape for its age.
The Triton School Board would like to consider refurbishing/maintaining the building both because of its historical and sentimental value and because it provides needed additional space. To this end, the corporation initiated steps to determine the feasibility of having it declared either a national or state historical landmark, which would make it eligible to receive grants for its upkeep.
Last Thursday, the first meeting of this effort was held at the Triton school administration building. Todd Zeiger, director of the Northern Region for Indiana Landmarks, Inc., made a presentation to Superintendent Donna Burroughs, board member Kevin Boyer, and Director of Maintenance Richard Anders. Indiana Landmarks is a not-for-profit organization devoted to preserving historic buildings which has worked with South Bend Schools and other corporations. Its advice and work is available to Triton at no cost to the school corporation. It also can provide some money in the form of matching grants. One example of this is a stability analysis grant of up to $2,500 which must be matched at least 20 percent by the corporation. It would pay for architectural services to determine what structural repairs are needed to keep the building in usable condition. Other grants are available to pay for the national or state application process to become a historic landmark.
Present at the meeting also was Heather Richmund, business development executive with Odle, McGuire, Shook, Inc. (OMS), an architectural firm in Indianapolis specializing in historical structures. OMS has worked closely with Indiana Landmarks in the past in projects such as the one the corporation is considering.
Using his organization's expertise, Zeiger made a firm recommendation that the building, while located on land owned by the school corporation, should not be managed by Triton Schools, which creates legal and logistical problems for a wide community usage of the facility. Instead, he said, it should be "driven" by an outside group such as a not-for-profit or "friends" organization which would have a master lease with the school corporation allowing the schools to use the gym for their purposes, while at the same time making it available to the public for gatherings, weddings, or any event requiring a large venue.
One possibility briefly thrown out was that perhaps a coordinated application could be developed for the restoration and maintenance of "orphan gyms" such as the Bourbon one.
In any case, the meeting was just the first step in what is destined to become a time-consuming project. Funds would be needed, and grant money for restoration and upkeep is not available at 100 percent. Therefore, should this project proceed, local residents of the school district who have a heart for the gym and Triton Schools would need to come forward and actively participate in fundraising efforts. The Triton School Board feels that it is a worthwhile endeavor, and will continue to explore the possibilities. The next step is for board Attorney Mark Wagner to compare notes with Indiana Landmarks attorneys to navigate the land mine subject of public and private ownership, management, and usage.

A PS3 app would be cool. I would even be willing to pay more for it.
An app for my Etch and Sketch please!
There's already plenty of devices that Crunchyroll is on. I do see a Google Tv app maybe in the future.
U_U a windows 7 phone app would be awesome..lg quantum that's what I have, lemme know when you guys do for sure, hope its soon, I'll become a premium member at that point <3
But am i Really? >< Ummm no..no im not
Well I have an apple TV and xbox360... so 1 of them? I did the stream from the iphone app but I got no sound just video
My main TV is an LG, and my BluRay players are Samsung so my votes are:
LG -- Developers site is at: http://developer.lgappstv.com/devel/main/main.lge
Samsung -- Developers site is at: http://www.samsungdforum.com/
Edit: Looks like Flingo's 3rd party app is available for LG Smart TV now, though I'd still like to see an official app with premium account support and a better interface to available videos.
Windows Phone 7 please!
Though it's already been said, and I don't think it would happen, I vote for Nintendo Wii. Oh, and the new Nintendo 3DS.
"Fear me. For when armored by her love, I possess the strength to fight a god."
1. WD TV Live* (best stb for the money)
*premium app with hd streams & simulcast
I'm thinking soon apple tv will be running iOS apps, making it possible to run the existing iOS app?
You dont need a ps3 app for it, the ps3 can already view crunchy roll vids, just turn on java script and flash player if its off. If you still cant watch do a system update, or just get an update for the internet
I would love to see CR on the Xbox 360.
Everything is fine.
Any sort of update on getting CR on current-gen consoles/portables? If it's a pipe dream, would people recommend I invest in a Roku? I also have an iPhone 4, how's the video quality output to TV over HDMI?
Get it on Xbox 360 and I'll consider not cancelling my premium membership, doesnt even have to be 720p...

While the videos indeed play on the PS3, it is not the best quality all of the time. One, the PS3 is not powerful enough to handle the 720p streams, so you have to stick with 480p or lower which sucks when watching it on a large 1080p TV. The version of flash that the PS3 is using is old, and does not support hardware acceleration. Every now and then videos on CR will become blocky, mostly when there is a lot of motion on the screen, or the scene pans from side to side or top to bottom.
Another thing is that whenever a subtitle comes up, the video will stutter for a split second when it loads the subtitles on the screen. Sometimes it doesn't have this problem, but most of the time it does. The video is still watchable but you will always notice that stutter when it happens.
A native app will allow faster access (As navigating the CR website on the PS3 is a chore sometimes with its outdated java support) and much better video quality.
Another solution would be to wait for Sony to update flash on the PS3, but that probably wont be for another 5 years or so.
Oh... but i've never experienced any problems like that before. Maybe, if someone is experiencing this problem, it my be due to low bandwith, low internet connection speed. (P.S. ty for letting me know about some of the things you wrote in the reply)


text: It seems summer temperatures in the 80's and 90's are now the norm for Wisconsin. If you wilt without central air, rest assured there are plenty of cool and comfortable B&Bs in the state that fit the bill. Another way to chill out is to book a waterfront B&B. For B&Bs on lakes, try At the Lake House – Lake Geneva, Quiet Cottage on the Lake – Sturgeon Bay, Escape by the Lake – Hudson, Lake Orchard Farm – Sheboygan, Lake Ripley Lodge – Cambridge, and Lakeside B&B – Florence. We suspect you've picked up on the theme! Inns with river access include Mecan River House – Coloma, Riverside Manor – Marinette, and Riverview – Neshkoro. Gee, we're feeling cooler already!

After shocking fans with her bright dye job last year, the star told PEOPLE about her beauty look, "I'm not going to follow any rules. I am going to just have fun with it!" And Lovato apparently meant it — though her latest visit to her colorist had a specific purpose. She shared on Twitter that her new do is for her upcoming Neon Lights tour.

Last summer, Lovato told PEOPLE last year that she loves to be spontaneous with her hair. "I never know what I'm going to do next," she said, adding that she takes very good care of her ever-changing hair to keep it healthy. "I do olive oil treatments, which are really easy. Also, because of my [Hispanic ethnicity], my hair is really strong naturally."

COLUMBIA — Exactly five months ago, Marcus Lattimore spent the morning as he spent so many others during his three seasons playing running back for South Carolina. He left the team hotel with his teammates and boarded a bus bound for Williams-Brice Stadium. He pulled on his pads and cleats in a locker room under the stadium's stands. He walked through a tunnel and ran onto the field as 80,000 people cheered.
By the time that Saturday afternoon game against Tennessee ended, many of those people wondered if Lattimore would do any of those things before any football game ever again. On his 11th carry of the game, he sustained a direct hit to his right knee, dislocating it and injuring multiple ligaments. His leg bent so awkwardly that some teammates averted their eyes.
Wednesday morning, Lattimore walked into the stadium for the first time since his injury on Oct. 27. He stood in a room under the stands. Representatives from 31 NFL teams stared at him. He felt anxious and excited. Those who saw his gruesome injury replayed over and over on that October Saturday perhaps felt surprised by what they watched him do next. He did not break any tackles or sprint 40 yards, or do any of the things he must do to prove he can become a productive professional running back. Doctors warn him that his knee isn't ready for such rigorous activity. But in that room, with scouts watching on USC's pro day, Lattimore did all he could, at this point, to demonstrate that he might again play at a high level.
A rope ladder was laid on the floor, and Lattimore quickly stepped into and out of its squares, in different patterns. Five times, he jumped from a standing position onto an 18-inch box, and then did it five times with a 24-inch box. He did step-up exercises onto the box, driving his legs upward. He did lunges and reverse lunges, to show stability in his knee. He balanced on one leg and lowered himself as far as he could.
Out on the field that brought him so many vivid memories of program-changing touchdowns and life-altering trauma, he could only watch his teammates participate in Wednesday's drills. That did not dampen his enthusiasm for a future in which he said he "no doubt" expects to play in the first half of next season.
"I could be out there doing something, but it's not smart to be doing that at this time," he said. "I wanted to be out there bad, just get out there and run some routes. (But scouts) were able to see me use my feet, use my knee and see that my knee is fine. It felt great, but I know I've got a lot of work to do and I need at least three or four more months before I put on some pads."
Lattimore is a natural optimist, an attitude that supported him while recovering from a serious injury. He said his highly regarded surgeon, Dr. James Andrews, first noticed in February that his rehabilitation was ahead of schedule because of how quickly his hamstring and quadriceps regained muscle mass.
Lattimore was equally wowed by the thorough medical exams at last month's NFL combine, where he only did the exams and interviews with teams.
"Ah, man, it was crazy," he said. "It was like a zoo in there. But they're investing a lot of money into you, so it's important."
Before the combine, he ran only on an underwater treadmill, to limit the stress on his knee. During the first week of March, he ran on solid ground for the first time, at the facility where he trains in Pensacola, Fla.
"I knew nothing was going to happen," he said. "Everything was working out good. I wasn't worried about it. I was just ready to do it and get it over with and get that next step in."
He has been sprinting in Pensacola, though not at full speed, and will soon begin agility workouts as he resumes cutting. The primary thing he wanted to demonstrate Wednesday was his knee's stability and "that I could still move," he said.
"I feel like my step-ups showed a lot, when I stepped up onto the box with my right leg," he said. "Just showing how stable it is, showing that it's still good and it's progressing."
At the advice of his agent and trainers, he will not hold his own pro day. But he will go to Indianapolis next Friday and Saturday for a follow-up medical exam by NFL teams. He will meet with the Patriots and Rams, after already meeting with the Eagles. But he hasn't looked at his draft projections and won't watch the draft on TV, because he said he simply doesn't want to.
"Everything has been progressing perfect," he said. "I know I'll be back playing football, no doubt. One team is going to believe in me. I know that."
USC's four other prominent draft-eligible players participated in pro day's on-field drills. Like Lattimore, they are expected to be picked between the third and sixth rounds.
Wide receiver Ace Sanders, who turned pro early, is stronger at changing direction than running in a straight line, but he could have helped himself Wednesday by improving his 40-yard dash time. He ran 4.58 seconds at the NFL combine, and 4.56 on Wednesday.
Free safety D.J. Swearinger wanted to run 4.5 Wednesday because he wasn't happy with his 4.67 at the combine. But at pro day, he ran just 4.63. Outside linebacker DeVonte Holloman ran 4.76 at the combine and 4.79 at pro day. Defensive end Devin Taylor ran 4.72 at the combine (eighth among defensive linemen) and 4.88 at pro day.

Political groups are applying pressure to two of the U.S. Supreme Court's nine justices before they hear a series of cases challenging the constitutionality of President Obama's signature health reform law.
Conservative groups want to prevent Justice Elena Kagan from being among the members of the court to decide the case, which the justices announced on Monday they would hear this term. And liberal groups, similarly, want Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from the case.
Their demands reflect the gamesmanship surrounding the case, which would either offer legal vindication for Obama's law, or hand Republicans a victory in dismantling it -- at the height of the election season, no less, since a decision is due in June.
Republicans have already demanded that Kagan sit out the case because of her work as solicitor general in the Obama administration during the fight over the health care law. Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch (R), a longtime staple of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has demanded that she recuse herself, and House Republicans have sought to probe the extent of her involvement in crafting the legal defense for the law.
Kagan said in written responses to questions during her confirmation process to the court that she would recuse herself "from any case in which I've been counsel of record" or in any case in which she had "played any kind of substantial role in the process." She said in her confirmation testimony that she had attended at least one meeting where pending litigation against the health law might have been discussed, but "none where any substantive discussion of the litigation occurred."
The Judicial Confirmation Network and Judicial Watch, both conservative legal groups, have called for Kagan to recuse herself. Even if she doesn't sit out the case, it would provide the right-leaning groups with a way to spin an unfavorable opinion, especially if the decision comes along slim margins.
But Kagan isn't the only target. If conservatives have urged her recusal for fear of her reliably liberal vote, then it's concern about Thomas's usually-conservative voting record that prompted liberals to urge his recusal.
Seventy-three House Democrats, led by then-Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), wrote earlier this year that Thomas should recuse himself because of his wife's work with Tea Party groups in opposition to the law. The Democrats charged that Ginni Thomas had previously been compensated in part for her work against health care reform; the liberal Magazine Mother jones reported that she had received $150,000 in compensation from Liberty Central, a group opposed to the reform law, according to her husband's financial disclosure forms.
Health Care for America Now is also among the liberal groups to have joined the demand for Thomas's recusal.
All indications, though, point toward recusals for neither, meaning all nine justices would participate.
If there were to be recusals, we'd know by now. The fact that the court granted the health care cases yesterday without noting that any justice "took no part in the consideration" tell us that. But this has been clear for quite a while, because the court has handled other health care cases in past months -- such as the refusal to grant fast-track status to the case brought by the State of Virginia -- without noting any recusals.
Moreover, there's some thought that the dividing lines between "conservative" and "liberal" justices might not even apply in any usual way. For instance, Judge Laurence Silberman, the appeals court judge in D.C. who authored an opinion upholding the constitutionality of health reform, was appointed to the court by President Reagan, and has been active in the Federalist Society, a conservative legal society.

ASUM Officers in First Ever Meeting With Missoula City Council [AUDIO]
You might think...somebody would have suggested this before, but for the first time ever, ASUM officers will have an official meeting with the Missoula City Council.
ASUM President Zach Brown says he and his officers will meet with the town council Monday evening at 5:30, before the regular City Council meeting at 7 p.m.
Brown says the main issue the student leaders want to address is that of ADU's, or Attached Dwelling Units. With over 16,000 students, many who live off campus, Brown says the need for student housing is critical, and he is hoping the city council can help to make student housing more available...and more affordable.
Brown says the meeting between ASUM and the city council will be open to the public at the Missoula City Council Chambers downtown.

I made this for mini frittata for breakfast recently by using up what I had in the refrigerator. I wanted to keep it healthy yet full of great flavor so the combining feta, roasted red pepper, spinach, and dill together was perfect. This frittata turned out light, fluffy, and super flavorful. A great way to start the day!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a mini baking dish with cooking spray.
Mix the eggs with the milk until well combined then season with dill, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Place a bit of the feta, spinach, and roasted red pepper into the mini baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish then place the remaining feta, spinach, and roasted red pepper on top.
Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.

'02 XStar - She said do it! Wetsounds Rev10's?
4 Attachment(s)
Hey all! Been trolling for the last few weeks on all the beta everyone has posted. Getting to the point where it makes sense, and at the same time my head is swimming. Figured ya'll could help a brother out.
Our family has a '02 Xstar/205V. Sound is meh? I mean it plays, but just isn't getting where its nice to listen to. At line length is terrible, and lately when they crank it, the low battery alarm comes on. Sub is fine when BS'n, but distorts like a mofo when turned up (obviously). In-Boats are fine, although up front in the bow is pretty 'tinny'...
My audiophile times where in high school. I think it was all about Cerwin Vegas and a Punch45 back then. LOL ;)
Currently we have:
Boat: Polk DB's w/ separates. Just the 4 in factory locations
Sub: JL 10".. W0? No Box, just screwed in the same factory drivers hole
Tower: 4 factory Clarions. 1 is blown.
Amps: Just the 2 factory Clarion units
Zone Control: Cheap RC1's. 1 ea. for the Tower, In-Boat and Sub. (You can stop laughing now)
End use? Wife and I love to board (even at 41yo) Kids like surfing (ages 8/10). And our young family friends mostly like to board. (Wife calls it eye candy having 25-35 yo's hanging out with us)
So.... Ya'll know what its like with family, work, bills etc... Wife, kids, family and lots of friends love going out on the boat, and we wanted some more sound, especially at line length, without going all extravaganza on it. We were hoping around $1500-$2000.
I was looking at/thinking about/asking advice on doing this:
Boat: Gonna want to keep the same Polks in there this season.
Sub: Its sad... Open to maximizing it tho for this season. What would you do?
Tower: 2 Rev10's (??) Think yay or nay?
Amps: Was looking at the Alpine PDX V9 (Friend has a little hook-up on one) for the Boat.. Good or no beuno?
Not sure on what to power the Tower....
I added some pics if they help at all..
So 80% boarding, 20% surfing, a lot of time floating with 25-40 yo's..
PLEASE feel free to throw some advice this way.. I am open to all ideas and past experiences.
If all you are looking for is sound while boarding on the board then get new tower speakers, as with anything it is all personal preference, JL, wetsounds, etc... make sure you power them correctly. Do a search there are plenty of opinions... which are just like a...oles everyone has one...
I believe for what you are looking to spend there is even a sponsor you may want to contact for help.
That alpine amp looks good for the inboats and the sub. It may be a little more than those polk 6.5s are rated for, so I would just turn the gain down. I would build a box for sub behind the kickpanel. That should make it sound a lot better. If you get rev10s, make sure you get them plenty of power. 400w each is what is recommended. I have a syn4 running mine, but if I had to do it again, I would just get a cheaper amp like the polk 4000.4 or ppi 900.4. If you want to hear music while boarding, the rev10s are the way to go. The JLs sound good in the boat, but there is no comparison 80ft out.
I built a sealed 10" box and posted in a thread the details if you are interested. Night and day better than the previous free air set up I had.
Excile Audio is another way to go. XM-9 x4 with a Harpoon amp to power them is around $2400. They remove at the end of the day and they even give you neoprene bags to carry them in. Also the pivot function works great for after the sports. I would send two facing the bow and two for the stern. Great sound close and out to 80 ft.
JRW: Good to hear you think that Alpine is good for inboards and sub. Def will do the gain low
Ross: Thank you for the 10" box post. In your experience can I build a 10" box for the current set up, and still use it for an upgraded sub later? Or are the Cu Ft. different for each make of 10" sub.
WW: Ill look into the XM-9's. That's another thing im kinda worried about... once or twice a summer we'll rent a slip at Banks, Chelan or Roosevelt and I know I'd have to have quite a few extra beverages before bed, to 'try' to stop thinking if someone is making a grab on them at night.
Any other thoughts on powering up the Rev 10? Am I gaining much from the 8's?
Xm9s are 2400 bucks with an amp? That makes it extremely easy to choose wetsounds.
Just do it right the first time . Rev10's would sound great on that boat. For what you are looking for which is 80% boarding and wanting tunes you are going to need to spend the $$ to get good sound back there. Rev8's at minimal Rev 10's optimal. Since you are worried about theft get the swivel quick release clamps and ease your mind. Exile is also a good choice, but it is hard to beat the Revolution series for SQ. Those coming of some older HLCD speakers can tell instantly the difference.
As mentioned the Rev 10's love power. For that matter I also have a Syn 4 powering my Rev 8's. I would also agree with JRW. You don't necessarily need to drop the coin on super high end amps. That Polk or the "fan favorite" for saving some cash and getting your performance that PPI 900.4 are great alternatives.
Swat... I remember you saying that before in one of your posts... "Do it right the first time."
I think you even said you would've saved money in the end...
I'll look into that PPI and Polk.. Thanks a bunch!
The xm9 is an 8", where the Rev-10 is a 10" HLCD. So one pair to one pair is not an apples to apples comparison. 2 pair of 8" to a single pair of 10's, the edge goes to the 2 pair in terms of output, but the larger 10" will yield deeper mid-bass extension, without a doubt.
Wet Sounds does offer a quick release clamp that not only allows for the speaker to pass through to the tower for a no wires install, but also 4 additional conductors for RGD LEDs.
Protective covers with handles also offered.

Erik Highsmith is learning from one of the best.
Erik Highsmith is learning from one of the best.
The former West Craven High football standout has been in Boca Raton, Fla. training and receiving tips from former NFL great Cris Carter.
His mission is to improve his stock for April�s NFL draft.
Highsmith, a wide receiver at the University of North Carolina, will step away from his training for a week to prepare for the East-West Shrine Bowl game � a college football all-star game for some of the top seniors in the nation.
The 88th version of the East-West Shrine Bowl will be played at 4 p.m. on Jan. 19 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. It will be televised on the NFL Network.
More than 60 NFL Hall of Famers, and more than 50 current NFL players, have competed in the game.
Highsmith�s East squad will be coached by Jerry Glanville, a former coach of the NFL�s Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons.
�This is what I�ve worked for � to go out there and play against the best at this level,� Highsmith said. �I want to go against the best cornerbacks.�
Highsmith is currently projected as the 38th best wide receiver prospect, according to CBSsports.com.
He wants to impress the 32 teams in attendance at the East-West game.
Highsmith, listed at 6-foot-3, will arrive in St. Petersburg on Saturday and practice all week.
�It�s a great opportunity,� Highsmith said. �I�m not projected high on the boards, but this is a great chance for me to go out there and showcase my talents in front of the scouts and coaches.�
Highsmith, a four-year player at UNC, caught 54 passes for 587 yards and five touchdowns this season.
He has 166 career receptions � third all-time among UNC wide receivers � for 2,048 yards and 15 touchdowns.
He is ready to make a lasting image in his final college football game.
Highsmith will be teamed up with Heisman Finalist Collin Klein, a quarterback from Kansas State, Duke quarterback Sean Renfree and N.C. State defensive back Earl Wolff, among others.
�I always want to go up against the best competition,� Highsmith said. �I am looking to catch somebody�s eye. This is a big step for me. I have a lot depending on this game, and hopefully I will go out there and do my best.�
Highsmith said his goal is to catch every ball thrown his way, no matter if it�s in practice or the game.
�I really want to have a good week of practice,� he said. �Scouts, GMs and coaches will be there to watch us practice. I want to let them know that I can play ball.�
Highsmith has been working out with some of the elite cornerbacks and wide receivers in Florida. Carter, an eight-time Pro Bowl performer, is Highsmith�s position�s coach.
He�s competed one-on-one against former University of Tennessee and current Kansas Chiefs defensive back Eric Berry.
�(Cris Carter) knows what he is talking about,� Highsmith said. �He emphasizes catching the ball. Whatever you do, catch the ball. He has the top five all-time greatest hands.
�He shows us catching drills, workout drills, footwork drills and getting in and out of breaks.�
After training in Florida, Highsmith will get ready for combines and UNC�s Senior Pro Day in March.
Highsmith said he has no doubt he can play in the NFL.
�One of my best attributes as a receiver is getting open,� Highsmith said. �In the league, you have to find that spot and get open. I most definitely think I can play at the next level.
�At the end of the day, I control my own destiny. Whatever I do from here on out determines where I go in the draft. I have to go out and take care of business.�
