Although Vanderbilt and Stanford are nearly 2,300 miles apart, the two schools have a lot of similarities. They each boast exceptional academics and successful athletics programs in power five conferences.
Moreover, new Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason was an assistant coach at Stanford from 2010 through 2013.
Now that Mason is in Nashville, it's only fitting that the Commodores and Cardinal get together on the gridiron. That's never happened before, but could in the near future.
"We're in the process, right now of scheduling that game," Mason said on WJOX radio in Birmingham. "Listen, we understand the two schools have similar brands, but they don't fear anybody, and we don't either. We'll get a chance to get after Stanford, and they'll get a chance to get after us at some point in time, hopefully in the near future. We are still the best conference in the whole United States. If they want to come and get us, come and get us."
If the game or games are scheduled, it would give Stanford head coach David Shaw a chance to back up his heated words from earlier this month.
Speaking on a Pac-12 teleconference, Shaw said that the SEC shouldn't "back down from playing your own conference." Shaw also said last year that the SEC plays "cupcakes" in November.
Shaw's words followed the announcement that the SEC was sticking with an 8-game scheduling format. However, the SEC added a strength of schedule stipulation that require each team to play a power five non-conference game each season beginning in 2016.
Vanderbilt, which improved under then head coach James Franklin, has only played one Pac-12 team in their history. The Commodores fell to UCLA 28-21 in 1961 in Los Angeles.
Stanford has faced current Southeastern Conference members a bit more. The Cardinal are 4-2-1 all-time vs. the SEC, going 0-1-1 vs. Alabama, 1-0 vs. Arkansas, Georgia, LSU, and Missouri, and 0-1 vs. Texas A&M.
Barring a postponement or cancellation, it looks like 2018 or later will be the first chance for Vanderbilt and Stanford to meet in the regular-season. Stanford's future schedules are filled through 2017, while Vanderbilt currently has future schedule openings beginning in 2015.
(h/t SaturdayDownSouth and CoachingSearch)
How is it now you can count Missouri and A&M with they were part of the Big 8/12. When Stanford played Missouri in 71 and A&M in 92. How does that carry over from one conference to the next?
Texas A&M was in the Southwest Conference in 1992 not the Big 12. The SWC was in business until 1996.
The Southwest Conference fell apart after 1995 because all the teams were on probation. Arkansas was in the SWC and joined the SEC around that time. Then, the Big 8 took 4 teams from the old SWC to form the Big XII
lol nice ever since the power 5 opponent thing was put in place its an all out brawl between whoever comes first.
lets get ready to Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Stanford and Tulane and Vanderbilt and Duke need to play each other on a home and home basis.
and Northwestern
Not Tulane. Tulane needs to join a P5 conference first.
Nawlinspete… You're wishing for too much. Playing Tulane wouldn't be very beneficial to the Cardinal's SOS (and therefore playoff opportunities), compared to playing Notre Dame, Northwestern, Vandy, or Duke. Tulane needs to get LSU to play a home-and-home.
"Stanford's future schedules are filled through 2017".
I don't understand the logic behind this comment.
For every season through 2019, Stanford is already playing two P5 programs in the non-conference. Do you think Stanford would entertain any thought adding a third P5 OOC game? Super doubtful. (And I doubt Stanford would add a P5 program to it's 2020 schedule as they already have NW and BYU on the schedule). But if you think possible, why not in 2015 then, where both programs still have a TBA and Vandy is in dire need of a P5 OOC match-up. I think this is what Mason is shooting for. At any rate I doubt you will find Shaw coaching at Stanford for more than a few more years, so scheduling a match up far in advance would lose any significance.
Here is the actual history folks…
Stanford vs active SEC all time games = 6, 3 bowl and 3 campus
Auburn : ZERO
Florida : ZERO
Kentucky : ZERO
Mississippi : ZERO
Mississippi State : ZERO
South Carolina : ZERO
Tennessee : ZERO
Vanderbilt : ZERO
Georgia : 1978 (Bluebonnet Bowl)
Louisiana State : 1977 (Sun Bowl)
Alabama : 1935 (Rose Bowl)
Tulane : 1961 @ Stanford, 1962 @ Tulane, and 1965 @ Tulane
Stanford vs teams now in SEC = 4, 1 bowl, 1 neutral, and 2 campus
Alabama : 1927 (Rose Bowl) | SoCon game not SEC
Arkansas : 1970 (Little Rock) | SWC game not SEC
Missouri : 1971 (Columbia) | Big 8 game not SEC
Texas A&M : 1992 (pigskin Classic) | SWC not SEC
Stanford vs former SEC teams = 7, 2 bowl and 5 campus
Sewanee : Never played
Georgia Tech as ACC : 1991 (Aloha Bowl) and 2001 (Seattle Bowl)
Tulane as IND : 1966 in CA, 1977 in LA, 1978 in CA, 1979 in LA, and 1980 in CA
Louisiana St was never an SEC team, they weren't even part of the Southern Conference. Your history is wrong, History.
I recall that Stanford beat Alabama 17-14 when "Bear" Bryant was the coach……Plunkett did it.

Whoever wins Tuesday testament technically alone be sheriff done the end of the yr, when St Lawrence's one-sixth terminus in position is set to decease.
Wilcher coupled the Chatham County Sheriff's Post in 1974.
Roughly 18,000 mass voted for Harris, who has been portion as sheriff since St Lawrence died in November, big him xxx 3 percentage of the ballot.
He's decisive of multitude organism chartered from away the section to senior-level positions.
Wilcher says lots of his centering as sheriff would be on the employees.
"He's not reinventing the pedal, but he's devising citizenry remember he is," Wilcher aforesaid.
Harris aforesaid he dismissed more 30 masses in two chiliad xv and four-spot this twelvemonth.
Finis class's high-profile expiry of yardbird Mathew Ajibade at the slammer happened when Harris was boss lieutenant, and it resulted in deplorable indictments against two deputies and a declaration suck likewise as a batch of insurance overhauls.
And approximately 16,000 citizenry voted for Wilcher, a retired bid staffer at the section, handsome him xx 9 percentage of the output.

He's been working on a immortalise of what he says is standing up against depravation, up grooming of faculty at the sheriff's post and workings jointly local and federal law enforcement agencies to offer consume on crimson law-breaking.
Patch Harris points out that street deputies sustain been allocated to regional chore forces, Wilcher says that's been on-going awhile.
"Let an policeman from the jailhouse implement," Wilcher aforesaid. "That's why they're so dissatisfied."
He says morale is pile and he would do things such as increase personal interaction with deputies and talk one-on-one with them.
But he held a variety of positions at the department over his career, and he says that gives him a unique understanding of how things work from the ground up.
Harris brought up ongoing efforts involving U.S. Marshals Service, the local U.S. Attorney's Office and the ATF that were announced last week, pointing out that his deputies were involved in those operations and are assigned to regional task forces.
Harris, a former deputy director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and head of the Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics Team, was appointed St Lawrence's chief deputy in 2011.
On Friday, Harris said he has been trying to work campaigning in between trying to shore the budget for fiscal two thousand seventeen and going through proposals to rework contract medical care at the jail.
He's had the sheriff's job on his mind for years, and he's been shaking hands for a age.
But his presence has paid off – he's garnered the most support on social media and he says 80-100 people are volunteering to help him spread his message this weekend.
"We just do not tolerate people who deliberately violate policy, procedure or the law," Harris said. "… If you're going to wear the badge, then you better wear it with honor."
And he stayed there for forty years.
But both Harris and Wilcher have qualified as Republicans in the May twenty four partisan primary for the next term for sheriff. On the Democrat side, so did McArthur Holmes and Kim Middleton, who were edged out of the nonpartisan race March 1.
Since he proclaimed his campaigning conclusion May, Wilcher has amassed more $ 200,000 in donations and says he's dog-tired well-nigh $ 190,000 edifice a run setup.

Nope. Gore has been my favorite Niner ever since he's been here, but he needs to have a reduced role. Split between Westbrook, Dixon and Gore, with Gore getting 40% of the reps, Westbrook getting 40%, and Dixon at 20%.
I really wanna see an offense that keeps the defense and spreads the ball around to literally everyone.
I was watching the Packers game yesterday. I loved how their offense works. You obviously have the studs Jenning and Driver on the outsides, but you also use Jones, the TE, run the ball with Starks and I saw them pass it to their FB Kuhn a bunch of times.

It's tax season and I've been waiting for my forms in the mail. Well, no form came. No problem, I'll go to the store.
I enter the store and no one is helping the customers, the owners on his phone ignoring me, and no other employees are found. So the owner hangs the phone up and I ask, "Im here for my W2". The owner unprofessionally responds, "Oh, I don't know where that is. Let me check."
As more customers come in behind the already upset ones, he comes back and proceeds to tell me, "I don't know where it is, sorry." I respond, "Ok? Well I kind of need it." In which the owner responds, "leave your number I'll call you."
I'm not overreacting if thats what you, the readers, are inferring. I've tried to get this W2 for weeks! Every night I go to get it, since I go to school all day, and they close early.
I finally go in to grab it and they LOSE it. This company has NO respect for it's employees. Not once have I gotten a call or anything in the mail about it and now I'm losing money I need and deserve. Im a college student, I need MY money.
DO NOT work for this company. They constantly pull these scams and deceptions. They operate unlawfully with an ex manager I worked for bringing in alcohol for his underaged employees. I am upset and discourage anyone from dealing with this company for their own good.

Our Experience:
First and foremost, they gave us a contract to sign that says we will NOT request a refund on our money from our credit card company. That should have been a red flag, but we were lured in by a really good salesman who talks a good game about how Site Solutions was started by his father 20 years ago, blah blah, blah, and how Site Solutions has been awarded a Google certified company badge or some similar non-sense like that. Regardless of that, by signing their contract, we now have no recourse to get any money back from our credit card company, which was a hard pill to swallow being that we should have known better looking back on it all now. We have since learned this is the first sign of a company that has on-going problems with their service. We, for one, will never do business with a company again that requires us to sign a contract like this before starting work no matter how good they sound.
They never could show or prove to us they were doing what they said they would in terms of directory listings. They'll give you some links to articles they've posted, but you'll never see the backlinks they supposedly create for you and maintain on a monthly basis. Even 60+ days into the process, they couldn't prove to they had us listed in a single directory even though they claim to send them to over 8,000 sites and check them monthly. After 60+ days, We should have seen something on the Internet. We saw nothing but what we had personally done ourselves for SEO. It's now almost 180 days and still no directory links.
Article writing is a big deal in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and that's not lost on Site Solutions. In fact, that's a lot of what they do. The problem for us was their articles appear to be written by out-of-country individuals with poor English skills. They kept telling us it doesn't matter and the text is only for the search engines to find and help you rank better. However, WE DO CARE what the text says because those articles are seen and read by people and they reflect on our company.
Additionally, the articles submitted with our keywords were consistently wrong. Keywords are critical to your ranking and success. That's what we were paying for! Keywords that are misspelled or accidentally joined to form one word will render them and your article useless. After paying $99 per article, it was not a good thing for us to search them out and then find the hack job they did. They couldn't even get our name right in the articles for the first four months. What we've learned since then? You can get articles written for you on the web for $7 each, but it's better to write your own articles. It only takes about 30 minutes and then you can post it yourself. Do that once a week and save your money. They will tell you they write an article and then spin it to dozens of sites. OK, but Google looks for spun articles and unless the article is more than 50% different from every other spun article, Google will catch it and render it useless for all purposes.
We wasted A LOT of time making sure they did their job right because once we found one mistake or lie, we felt compelled to start look for everything else they might have done wrong. They were good a debiting our credit card on time, each and every time, but when we went to look for an article that was suppose to be posted to our social accounts; they weren't there. Then when we called to complain about it, the article was quickly posted a few minutes later and then we were told it was already done, but that it had been in website's queue or the posting date on that website was incorrect. REALLY?! One pattern we began to notice is when we complained about an article not being posted to a social site they claim to be so important in Search Engine Ranking, they would come back with an email telling us they couldn't access the site and then ask if we had changed the login or password? REALLY?!
The SiteSolutions.com website says we can call any time to speak with one of their SEO engineers. HA! The slick sales person I mentioned above, who does seem to be a genuinely nice kid, knows about as much as a 1-day seminar graduate and Crystal, who we're unsure of what her role is, knows even less from what we could determine after speaking with her. Just to be clear, these two individuals are extremely professional on the phone and via email and this is not meant to be an attack against them personally. The point is, we were never allowed to speak with anyone when we asked, so we can only assume they don't actually have anyone who's an expert. Ironically, their poor service has actually made us somewhat experts on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and I think Site Solutions was perhaps afraid of all the questions we were preparing to ask them.
The site says and we were told over and over again that 90% of all customers get a first page ranking on Google. That sounded really good on the phone and was definitely exciting when we considered it a possibility. However, it's been six months and we're no where near it, so I guess we were one of the 10%. Makes us now wonder how many people have become part of the 10%? Unfortunately, that contract where we signed our rights away has now come back to haunt us.
For us, the bottom line is Sitesolutions.com has a lot of problems within their ranks that stretch from Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to accounting and billing taking money out of our account after they were suppose to have taken us out of the billing cycle. Their SEO articles were over-priced, poorly executed, and riddled with keyword errors too frequently to be effective. Their 8000 directory listing was unproven and a complete unknown for us after all these months. Our experience with this Search Engine Optimization (SEO) company has been costly and a complete waste of six months. We understand positioning for Google and other search engines can be hard work and can't be guaranteed. Our problem with SiteSolutions.com is not the results, but more with the horrible service and constant mistakes over and over again. Even after speaking with the owner and receiving multiple apologies, we were only offered over-priced articles free of charge, but never a refund. Even after mistakes were made again after the owner got involved Site Solutions wouldn't even agree to a partial refund for all the time and money wasted.
Is sitesolutions.com a SCAM? You decide.

This company is shady and will scam you with a smile of their face. They don't even know what they're doing when it comes to SEO. Turns out they actually have a long line of shady businesses too, besides this one. They are just not a reputtable company, and do not do a good job.
I agree with all these complaints. I used this company and wish I never had. They took my money and ran. Stay far, far away from SiteSolutions.

Your report freaked me out enough that I emailed everyone on their testimonials list. I received 100% responses of satisfied customers, so sounds like you're in the minority. The people I spoke with said honestly, they didn't check "what they were doing," but they saw huge results once they hired them.
I also think there's nothing wrong with them having a virtual office as someone else mentioned. Many big firms have this now with the economy shifting and less of a need to be face-to-face with people. After all, they are in the field of 'technology.'
Anyway, time will tell. I'll post again if I have similar problems to you, but so far, I think they know what they're doing. SEO is such a moving target and is not easy to conquer.

I'm guessing that since you refuse to provide clients with documentation of work done to meet contract terms, you won't do much better at documenting this--because you can't. You are a convicted felon who found a new scam. It's really that simple. And now that Google is actively penalizing websites for using the type of spam/fake/low quality/irrelevant link building tactics that you specialize in (when you actually do build links, that is), those "2 million satisfied customers" will quickly turn into an angry mob. Good luck with that.

Site Solutions IS a Scam
AUTHOR: theminesweeper - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 04, 2012POSTED: Wednesday, April 04, 2012
The company consists if Stephen (the owner), his wife (who does the billing/accounting), his daughter (can't remember her role exactly but she seems to float around and fill in), Michael (his son-in-law who does "sales" and "tech calls"), and Crystal (a cousin) who handles the "front desk" and "tech calls".
Lochmiller, along with his mother and brother were convicted and sent to prison back in the 80's for bilking hundreds of thousands from the elderly. His brother, his nephew, and another employee were just recently sent back to federal prison in Colorado for doing the same thing again and securities fraud. Awesome.
Stephen is now doing the same thing, just on a smaller level, and how awesome is it that he's taught HIS CHILDREN the game, just like his disgusting mother taught him and his brother, Philip. I wonder how thrilled Phillip's wife thinks it is that her SON is now serving time in federal prison for crimes that her husband taught her son how to commit. Perhaps she was already this way and that's why they got together in the first place.
My experience with Site Solutions started over a year ago when I clicked on their Pay Per Click ad at the top of Google. I called and spoke with a very nice and professional sounding gentleman named Michael and after calling some references they have listed on their site and seeing the NUMEROUS logos of huge companies on their site that they've supposedly done work for, Cheesecake Factory, NBC, NASA, HP, Encyclopedia Britannica, and the list goes on, I figured I'd give them a shot. Afterall, it was only $199 for the year for the "special promotion " they were having. Way less than the thousands other were asking for. That should've been my first clue. Big mistake.
After a couple of months I started calling them a bit more to talk to their "tech dept" and ask questions but after 5-6 attempts and always being connected with Michael or Crystal, who never could answer my questions and always said they'd check with the tech dept and "get back [to me]", I never would hear back from them. I finally started to get suspicious after a fewmonths of this and started to call a lot more often. I asked them to show me where these "links" supposedly were for my site and every single time they'd have me look while on the phone with them it was only the links that I HAD CREATED that were showing up. I continued to call almost everyday wanting answers that they just could not provide because, low and behold, they weren't doing any work.
Eventually after going back and forth with Michael and Crystal for a few weeks and getting so flustered with the lies I was catching them in, they finally just started putting Stephen on the phone with me. I gotta tell you, the guy IS a smooth talker, just as you can see in his written statement above. But do not be fooled. The man is a con artist. It's what he does. It's how he's made his living for the last 40+ years, but I digress. At first I was calmed by his facade of knowledge but after a his stringing me along having me go on wild goose chases by checking things in Google Analytics and/or just not being available to talk, I realized this guy had no idea what he was talking about either. He was just better at hiding it.
So I made a decision that I was going to call and call and call until I got my money back. It took another week or so but he did eventually get so sick of me and claim that he had "never had another customer treat [him] like this" or be so "intrusting", that he just volunteered to give me my money back. Now getting the check in the mail from them, that took another few weeks and a lot more phone calls, which I'm sure is all part of their game plan, but it did eventually happen. Do I think they would give everyone who calls and bothers them a refund? No, I think I got lucky because of the small amount I paid. I've since seen on their site that they are having "specials" for much higher amounts than what I paid.
Lochmiller mentions in his post above to "be careful" because there are many companies with the words "site solutions" in it. How ironic. The con man telling US to be careful. I can't think of ay better advice. Yes, please do be careful and know that every single negative review you find for this company is absolutely true and you're not finding reviews for anyone else but them. All other companies with site solutions in their name seem to have fine reviews.
Please also note that the last time I checked the Better Business Bureau in Roseville, CA Site Solutions had a F rating with three complaints against them. Roseville PD has been made aware of their actions and con artist practices.
I've had a few people contact me regarding their being scammed by Site Solutions and we're currently on a mission to slowly but surely get the word out to every site we come across, whether it be a site that advertises for SEO services or a site like this one. We also blog about our experiences and we've been contacting all of Tue major companies listed on their site as "satisfied customers", we believe fraudulently, to alert them to their names and logos being used fraudulently.
If you have had any negative experiences with this company who also goes under a few different other names, such as Online Fullfillment Center, please post a comment here or contact me.

If sitesolutions.com has ONLY had a small percentage of very dissatisfied customers as you say, then why do you have customers sign a contract that says they won't attempt to get a refund from their credit card company? Also, if so few dissatisfied customers, why not offer those very few a refund when sitesolutions has provided a poor service?
No one has suggested all customers will be happy with every business and that includes yours, but how many businesses refuse to provide for any type of refund and make you sign a contract that says you won't attempt to get a refund? That business practice now speaks volumes to us about a possible history and one we will be very mindful of in the future.
Say whatever you like, we know the level of incompetency that was afforded our account for months and are not impressed. Because of your poor service, we have found much better solutions out there that are MUCH less expensive and much more effective than what you provided us.
We are done with sitesolutions.com and will certainly never recommend you to anyone; well maybe to our competition we would.
Good luck to you Sir. This will be a first and last rebuttal as we are putting you guys and our bad experience with you behind us and moving on.

That's worth repeating... Over TWO MILLION Satisfied Users.
During our 16 years of SEO, we have been instrumental in helping a vast number of website owners improve their overall search engine positioning, thereby increasing their overall business opportunities.
Many of our users have hundreds of their keywords on page one in the organic section of Google that match exactly what they are selling or providing.
Even with that successful track record, the reality is that when providing some sort of service to over Two Million different websites, it seems that no matter how hard you try, a 100% perfect score in customer satisfaction is an impossibility.
You are probably a business owner or manager. So I ask for just a moment that you put this scenario in your own business. Over the years that you have been business, have you "ever" had a dissatisfied customer? Even if you have had just one, take your volume of customers or users, and expand that to over Two Million. Can you see that no matter how hard you would have tried - no matter how good your intentions - that it is impossible to work with that many people and not have a dissatisfied customer. At SiteSolutions, we're no different than you. Out of over two million applications of our service, 100% satisfaction seems to be impossible.
The point is this;
1) Yes, it is true that we have had a very small number of complaints. We do not deny that. However...
2) Please don't forget or discount the fact that we also have OVER "TWO MILLION SATISFIED USERS."
We are sorry that anyone would ever feel that we had not fully met their expectations. We would like to have a satisfied 100% of our Two Million plus users. To that goal, we shall continue to strive to provide a proven, successful service at a very reasonable price.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity of responding.
(Please note that in researching a complaint, that there are many companies that use the words "SiteSolutions" or "Site Solutions" within their company name, website address, or their product or service name. Therefore please be certain that another firms actions are not being incorrectly attributed to us. Thank you.)

And just because the contract claims you can't get a refund, that doesn't mean it's legally binding, especially since they are a California company. If you are a California consumer, so much the better.
Stephen Lochmiller, the owner of Site Solutions, was convicted of fraud in the 80s. His father was convicted of running a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme in Colorado this week. Fraud is what they do. They do it well, and they do it often.
My advice is to contact your credit card company and demand a refund. If you don't get it, take Site Solutions to court.
Use your contract and your monthly activity reports to prove your case. Not only were your articles complete crap, but they were no doubt placed on fake sites that Google doesn't even index. So instead of gaining traffic, your reputation in Google's eyes is now that of a spammer who uses the same anchor text in low-quality articles on numerous shoddy sites.
And check out your Facebook and Twitter profiles, if they even built them. Guaranteed they'll have some random guy's name on them with no profile info and a single link to a crap article. Awesome. Document EVERYTHING. Take screenshots (print to screen) or print as PDFs.
Don't be a victim. Enforce your rights as a consumer. You have more rights than you think you do. If you or any other Site Solutions victims read this, you can post here and I'll get the message. Might be high time for a class action lawsuit.

Last November, Early Lamar, 55, was arrested at his home for the sale of a controlled substance.
He was the first of a dozen arrests on Geneva County Sheriff Greg Ward's "Operation Who's Next".
The sentence was extended because the sale took place near a school and a public housing project.
A second suspect on "Operation Who's Next" pled guilty.

For every âThe Outsider,â it seems that events and their relative tie-ins give us a âLegion of Doom.â This book means well, wants to play nicely with others, but ultimately fails to deliver anything of substance.
Adam Glassâ story is heaped in clichés and thick with apathy-inducing inconsequential (mind you, this is a universe where anything can and should happen) scenes that just donât deliver on an emotional level.
One point that really bothered me about the story and Cyborgâs artillery was the fact that his suit declared a 0% power supply during his fight with Heatwave. Really? Cyborg is supposed to be this worldâs greatest American hero, right? Yet heâs dumb enough to have a system that declares its failure during battle?
I really want to like this version of Cyborg, but nothing in this issue makes him any more interesting or enjoyable than what Iâve seen of the character in the main âFlashpointâ series. There, Geoff Johns established Cyborg as a hero of Detroit. While Glass sees fit to bring the fight to Detroit â and does so with modest alternate universe-based accuracy â his Cyborg is half man, half machine, and three-quarters cliché. I donât think itâs asking for a whole lot to give Vic Stone the chance to really shine, especially given that this is new universe where Vic hasnât had (only) a dozen solo tales.
Glass does use a unique maneuver in having Cyborg fight Heatwave via remote controlled detached arm, but Rodney Buchemi doesnât play that scene up for all it is worth. The attack of the arm is lost in some odd panel layout choices, including one that makes it appear as though this version of Cyborg lists teleportation in his arsenal.
The âLegion of Doomâ title is a bit of a misnomer, clearly playing upon the subconscious knowledge of the older fan, as this book only features a handful of characters. The series should have either been titled âCyborgâ and opened up to really let that character shine. Or call it âHeatwaveâ and play it up for the story of revenge that this wound up featuring.
Looking forward from here, Iâm hopeful that some notes will be taken on what works and doesnât work for this character. I applaud DC for finally giving Detroit a character that doesnât induce groans from readers. I just hope they decide to keep Cyborg grounded in the Motor City. It just makes too much sense.

Blick Premium Grade Tempura Paint
By Northside JPC
from Warner Robins, GA
Comments about Blick Premium Grade Tempera:
We use this paint to decorate Styrofoam for our annual spirit week. The coverage is excellent. A little goes a long way. The paint stores well and doesn't separate like other paints. We will continue to purchase through Blick because of their quality and the speed at which our materials are shipped. Even when we have extremely large order, it never takes more than a week to arrive.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought nice colorful paints to use with the kids in the camp that I teach. The paint has a nice consistency- beautiful colors, and mixes well to create new colors.

In my opinion use this "Blick Premium Grade Tempera" on Blick Canvas. One can achieve professional results, without the mess, expense of oil paints. Adults,that paint,can use it as well as kids.
Premium Tempera Paint
By Katie
from VA
I love to paint with tempera but won't unless it's lightfast. This paint is thick and creamy and easy to paint with. It covers beautifully and the colors are very strong. It is the best tempera I've ever tried, and I've had all the brands over the years. It's great for painting big pictures as covers large areas quickly and dries fast. I will be ordering the rest of the colors, since I only ordered the six pack to start with. It's a good value too.

Good product & good price. It was very easy to deal with DickBlick. Their products are very competitively priced & everything I've bought has been of a nice quality.I don't have enough experience with other sites to give a 5-star rating - when I do, I will.
acrylic paint in pump bottles
By Kim
from Colorado
These are amazing in the elementary classroom. No mess or clean up from getting paint onto palettes. Gives an even pump and the kids are not wasting so much paint. They also stay clog free. Awesome hues and very opaque paint. Great product all around.
I like it
By Mary
from Milwaukee
Just starting to paint so I can't really compare but it is nice to work with.
Painter's paint!
By Arty
from Montgomery, NY
This is the best paint I've used for my "paint and sip" classes. It's cost effective and really covers well.

When I exchanged the phone at Best Buy, I was charged $35.00 activation again. The new phone was no improvement. Again I was assured the coverage was excellent & to replace the phone again. After refusing that, it was discoved the new phone was not properly activated.
Once again I was asssured I had excellent coverage. Now my cancellation period had expired, but no use of the phone. I was promised credits and excellent service. No credits, no service.
Finally I was called & told I was in a marginal area, which seems to include any area out of eyesight of a tower, but I had a contract that would cost me an additional $175.00 to cancel. Do not use Sprint or Best Buy for anything!

Imagine getting the drugs you need without a prescription.
Wednesday in Washington, The Food and Drug Administration will consider creating a whole new class of drugs available directly from your pharmacist.
The plan debated at the FDA would let patients go straight to their pharmacists for many drugs now by prescription only. A potential new class of behind–the–counter drugs could include birth control pills, cholesterol drugs and migraine medicine.
The system now used in almost a dozen countries would require that pharmacists play a bigger role, in talking to patients about their needs and drug risks. Pharmacists are on board with that: but many do worry about making drug decisions apart from doctors. Those concerns drive opposition to the plan from the American Medical Association.
Health watchdog groups will testify today about the broader effects. For instance, might insurance companies drop coverage of drugs because they're no longer by prescription? So a lot of questions still about how this would work.
At the FDA on Wednesday, one health watchdog group will advocate trying the plan in a few states first, before rolling it out nationwide.

MUCH MORE can be found in the navigation menu below.

Our Mission is to
spread the (Besorah), The Good News of Yahushua Ha Mashiach, the only brought
forth Son of Yahuwah (Yah-hoo-wah)! We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to hear the truth; whether we reach viewers via the internet here on our website, YouTube, Facebook, through our published books, tracts, DVDs or street witnessing. Everyone should have the opportunity to know the Good News of the Messiah and the truth of the Father Yahuwah. This is just one of the reasons why everything on our website is free. Not everyone can afford to purchase teaching materials and we do not want this to hinder those who cannot afford. Matthew 10:8 also says that "we received without paying and we are to also give without paying", "freely you have received and freely you shall give". We did not pay for the knowledge the Father bestowed upon us, The Ruach Ha Qodesh (Set-Apart Spirit) came to us and freely gave us wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment. We want to share these truths we have discovered with everyone who has "eyes to see and ears to hear" (Matthew 13:16). Matthew 24:14 tells us that 'once the Good News is proclaimed to all the nations of the world, the end shall come'. This is our desire, to reach as much of the world as best as we can. That is why we have so many different methods of witnessing. We are blowing the Ram's Horn in these last days from one end of the earth to the other. We are spreading the message worldwide! HalleluYAH!
We are NOT associated with any man-made denomination. Amongst the 2,000+ denominations, men are allowed to stand at the buffet table, picking and choosing what looks, feels and sounds good to their flesh, while
having their ears tickled at the same time.
when they leave the buffet table they are empty, never being fully fed! Truly,
this world is in a spiritual famine. Billions are indeed lacking the
manna, "The Bread of Life" (John 6:48) that can only come
from, Yahushua Ha Mashiach! Some are always learning, yet they have
never come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). They seem to
have a form of reverence, but deny the power thereof (2 Timothy
3:5). Yet others have been blinded by the adversary of this world (2
Corinthians 4:4) and have not received the love of the truth that they might be
saved! (2
Thessalonians 2:10)
Many love darkness, so that their deeds
may not be seen! (John 3:19). We know that one will stumble in the dark! And if
the blind leads the blind then both shall fall into a ditch!(Matthew
15:14) Their only hope from the darkness is the light. That one true light is Yahushua Ha Mashiach!
are those who hear the "Call to come out of the Religious
Malt of Babylon". This malt is filled with lukewarm wolves in
sheep's clothing. They add a pinch of truth to the already pagan idolatry
mixture. When the mixing is done, what remains is a wishy-washy watered-down
foundation of man's untempered mortar!
The one true foundation was
and still is Yahushua Ha Mashiach (1 Corinthians 3:11). After the true
foundation of Yahushua Ha Mashiach is built, the walls of obedience shall
be constructed. In the event one does not have Him as the foundation, but
instead theirs is built on man's untempered mortar... it will fall!
These ones are not called to come out of her
only to go back into the confusion, under a different label! They
have fully come out and have been engrafted into the olive tree
(Romans 11:17) and have become the branches. In the process they have been
shunned by friends, co-workers and family members, made fun of and called all
sorts of names. They make up the whole house of Yisrael (Israel),
both Yahudah (Judah) and Ephrayim, with one Sovereign (King) shepherding them,
Yahushua Ha Mashiach!
We teach about the Scriptures from the Scriptures. We do not claim to have all of the answers. Don't take our word for what you find here on our website. Open your Bible and see for yourself that we back up ALL of our claims from Scripture to the best of our knowledge. We don't take credit for anything, we give all thanks, praise and esteem to our Father Yahuwah.
On our website and throughout our publications, you will not find the use of the pagan titles of God and Lord. Neither will you find us referring to the Messiah, Yahushua with the Greek Name of Jesus. Flipping through your Bible, one can discover that the Father and His Son's Name is great, Mighty and Powerful. Since our Father Yahuwah deems His Name important we do also. Because of this, we will not make His Name vain, empty, useless or unimportant by covering it up and not useing it. We acknowledge Yahushua Ha Mashiach as our Messiah, High Priest, Rabbi (Master), Mediator. Yahushua Ha Mashiach is our Bridegroom. We, believers, make up the body of Mashiach (Messiah) and we are the Bride. As all brides, we must prepare ourselves for the Bridegroom! We need to keep our relationship with our Bridegroom pure, not having it defiled with pagan worship, but by keeping the marriage vows because we love HIM! We believe in having our hearts circumcised. We believe the Ten Commandments are the marriage vows to the Bride. We are the Bride. We believe in repentance, turning back around to Him, being fully immersed in HIS Name (Yahushua) and then being obedient. We believe that Yahushua Ha Mashiach is the Word that was in the beginning. He was and still is the Son of the living El. He is the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:1, 1:14).
We strongly believe Yahuwah is calling HIS people out from among the nations (Gentiles) and the religious confusion (Revelation 18:4). We believe the Ruach Ha Qodesh has been poured out and the dry bones will be re-gathered (Ezekiel 37). The two sticks (two houses of Israel) will be one in Yahushua Ha Mashiach (Galatians 3:28). We believe when the Bride has prepared herself the Bridegroom will then return to us and we will return and enjoy the Marriage Supper. We try to obey all of the Ten Commandments, which includes the observance of the Seventh Day Sabbath, on Saturday. We believe the Sabbath, (as with all the other days of the week) begins at Sunset and ends at Sunset. As with the Ten Commandments, we also believe in the observance of the Moral Laws of the Torah (The First Five Books of Moses). In result, we also celebrate the Feast Days of Leviticus chapter 23 and follow the dietary laws of the clean and unclean meats that is listed in Leviticus chapter 11; amongst many other things. We do not believe in the celebration of today's modern holidays the world celebrates today. We believe only celebrating the festivals commanded in the Scriptures. Please do not confuse the Torah with the Talmud. We are strongly against the observance & obedience of the Talmud. The Talmud is the bondage Yahushua spoke about towards the Pharisees concerning their "Traditions of Men". In fact, in the original Hebrew, 'Traditions of Men' is translated as, "the Jewish Law, the Oral Tradition". If you have any questions or want more information about our beliefs you can view our many teachings that can be located on the left column above.

Blonde Hair: From Classic Shades To This Season's Blonde Brown Trend
Blonde hair is still a firm favourite. Get in on the hottest shades with our edit of the top celebrity blondes. From dark or light blonde, the classic honey and platinum or 'blonde brown', get hair colour ideas here.
Ombre uplights have been a strong hair trend, which doesn't look like it's going anywhere, with Jessica Alba and Beyonce both modeling warmer, honey blonde tones. Perfect for darker shades, ombre lights add depth and texture, while giving the overall result of dark caramel blonde hair – without dark root re-growth issues. Don't get too carried away with the highlights though, this year it's about going darker and embracing the warmth on your complexion.
For natural blondes, take notes from models Georgia May Jagger, Jessica Hart and Cara Delevingne and opt for softer highlights woven in among darker, more natural tones for a dirty blonde bed head look. Wear these loose, long and with plenty of conditioning treatment to ensure the blonde hair colour stays fresh and glossy.
If it's notice-me hair colour you're after, then platinum blonde hair colour is a cool option. Make like Carey Mulligan with her champagne-hued tresses and opt for block colour, or for more highlighted locks, work it like Nicole Richie and Jennifer Lawrence with their textured blonde bob. The blonde of all blonde awards has to go to Michelle Williams who, in spite of it seeming as if her hair will fall out if she goes a shade lighter, manages to pull of the brightest blonde we've ever seen.
Now K-Stew has joined the blonde brigade too, and she looks HOT.
From caramel blonde hair through to ultra ash shades, get blonde hair ideas from these celebs – pick your favourite shade, print out and take to the hairdresser.

Hi all, i'm at the very end of this little puzzle, but stuck at the last bit.
I have successfully combined my queries using the following code:
<?php $blogposts = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'posts_per_page' => 10
)); ?>
<?php $people = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'people',
'posts_per_page' => 2,
'orderby' => 'rand'
)); ?>
<?php $mergedposts = array_merge( $blogposts, $people );?>
<?php global $post;?>
<?php foreach( $mergedposts as $post ) {
the trouble is this displays the $blogposts, followed by the $people posts. I want it to take in all of the posts and spit them out randomly.
I've scoured all over but can't figure this one out!
Any help is appreciated.

Moustache All-Stars: The Best Staches of the First Half
Aside from winning a World Series ring, an All-Star selection is one of the greatest honours that can be bestowed upon a Major League Baseball player. While the game itself might be somewhat of a farce, it's the All-Star selection which most players are proud of.
Now while some players are disappointed about being snubbed for the All-Star Game, they can seek solace in being selected as the next best thing; a Moustache All-Star. Here is a collection of the best 'staches of the first half of the 2012 season.
Jeff Samardzija (Chicago Cubs)
If you hadn't heard the off Jeff Samardzija prior to this season, you're not alone. Samardzija moved into the Cubs starting rotation this season, and that promotion was undoubtedly precipitated by none other than his moustache.
Looking at his biography, it's apparent that Jeff Samardzija had the potential for a great moustache all along, as his father Sam played semi-pro hockey. And we all know hockey players have the second best moustaches in sports, next to baseball players of course.
For many years, I had mistakenly referred to the above moustache by Chris Davis as a fu manchu, but according to the American Mustache Institute's Style Guide, it's actually a "horseshoe".
Which incidentally is what the Baltimore Orioles have had up their posteriors the first half of the season.
Dale Thayer (San Diego Padres)
Earlier this season, Dale Thayer enjoyed a brief stint as the closer for the San Diego Padres as Huston Street went on the disabled list. Thayer converted 5 straight save opportunities in May and made the most of his appearances as the interim closer.
Thayer has since slid down the depth chart a few rungs in the Padres bullpen, but I guess that just gives him more time to devote to manicuring and coiffing that lovely 'stache of his.
