Uncle Buck(eye)
Of course some have it worse than others.
Case in point, the email and pic below which we recently received at the MZone home office.
"I wanted to send this to you, but had to doctor it a little since it is one of my favorite uncles. Wife found it first and her exact quote was "OH NO" I am a Wolverine and she likes the Buckeyes. She shouldn't have shown it to me."
Sweet Jesus.
Two (of many) things come to mind.
First, "But it's a really old picture" is not a defense for the above. There is no time period where that was acceptable. Ever.
Second, I pray -- pray -- that this was actually supposed to be a half shirt.

Caballero means gentleman, caballo is horse. So Buckallero is an oxymoran. I suggest the name El Gabacho Panzon.

Threadjack ...
In the annual tradition of wildly guessing whose the best college football team, ESPN has released its post-Spring top 25. Believe it or not, I'm stunned that OSU highlights the list. Most pre-Spring lists had us somewhere in the top 5, but nobody wanted to put us in the top 2. Now ESPN goes ahead and does the unthinkable by putting OSU at the very top.
However, me thinks ESPN had a slight alterior motive for this list. How do you get people to talk football in May? Well how about putting the team nobody outside of Ohio wants to see at the top? Want to really get the emails pouring in? Put some verbage that would suggest that OSU makes it to the NC game even if they lose to their most highly ranked opponent, then suggest Georgia might be a better team, but will ultimately be held back to a tough schedule. Everyone South of the Mason Dixon is going to have carpel tunnel syndrome from writing in hate mail.
Also, note that Sparty makes the list at #24. WBNS The Fan here in Columbus is up in arms about this. Can't say I blame them. I can't think of any logical arguments for why Sparty should debut in the top 25. Thoughts?

well, its not exactly SI's top 25. it's the columnist, Mark Schlabach's 25. mandel has his own, http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/stewart_mandel/05/01/spring.rankings/index.htm,
which has UGa #1 (and tosu #2). no that it matters much.
either way, i doubt that there will be huge uproar about where tosu starts once the real polls come out in july/august. the usc game is 9/13. if tosu wins, no one will doubt their ranking. if they lose, it won't matter anyway.

ESPN Sucks. I am sure that Herbie had a say in that.
Interesting that Penn State is at 25 as well. WVU that high on the list? LSU that low? Interesting.
Should be an interesting year for CFB......can't wait to see how it pans out.
Anybody have the official day count?

I think I prefer Mandel's simply because I don't think OSU has earned the top spot until they show they can beat a top team. I've always felt our whole season boils down to that USC game anyway. If we win, nobody can second guess us. If we lose, we don't deserve to be there anyway. And while I'm sure people are going to come out of the woodwork to say OSU doesn't belong, people will overlook the fact that OU is ranked #3 after coming off a blowout loss to WVU. And nobody is going to call Georgia out for the way beats its chest over defeating Hawaii.
If we get to the NC game I hope we're taking on Georgia. We need to play the best the SEC has to offer if we want to legitimize a win.

The disnESPN rankings are always a joke. MSU and PSU at the bottom of the list. You have got to love the quote: "If Michigan State can rebuild both of its lines and replace top receivers Devin Thomas and Kellen Davis, they might win those close games in 2008." Yeah, so, there you have it. Rebuilt both lines, replace your top receivers, and your top TE and you have a top-25 team. Real nice.

Id personally love to see TUO$ make it to the NC game again and get routed by GA. Not that I like either team but being in the heart of OH and having to deal with TUO$ fanboys on a daily basis it's the only weapon I've had lately is reminding them about their championship games. Basketball included.
And I like not having UM in the top 25 because it's better to climb the ladder then fall down it.

which is why we're commenting upon a picture of a 250 lb tosu fan in clothes made for 125 pound tosu fan????
but no, that's not the same thing about speculating over tosu's pre season ranking. however, it could be that by season's end, they could be equally funny, i suppose.

the picture looks like it was taken in a holler....
which brings me to odd facts I heard on npr re: the upcoming primary in West Virginia--home of Rich Rod
didja know that a) WV has the second oldest population in the nation behind Florida? b) WV has the lowest number of college graduates per capita of any state in the nation, and c) WV is pretty close to the whitest state in America
what have we done?????
- May 12, 2008 3:49 PM

as i was born in wva, too, i can tell you that the schools (@ least the good ones) teach the three "R's":
Riting, and
Route 23 North...
and the really smart ones don't stop in Columbus but keep heading north.
just like me & R2! it just took him a little longer.
- May 12, 2008 3:54 PM
- TitleIX said...
I like those 3 R's you lernt.
but you got off the highway wwwwaaay too soon
I was really surprised about the college graduate/capita factoid. I don't know which state I would have thought would have the lead on that one, but WV would not have been in my top three
oh gosh....
I may have just circled us back to pre-season ratings

that stat is probably deceiving. i'd guess that wva sends a higher proportion of kids to college than a lot of other states but they don't stay once they graduate.
wvu and marshall are both pretty decent schools, but outside mining engineering, the job market sucks.
you find a lot of grads from both schools in columbus, pittsburg, cinci, richmond, charlotte- basically the first decent city on your way out of wva from any direction.

"That stat is probably deceiving. i'd guess that wva sends a higher proportion of kids to college than a lot of other states but they don't stay once they graduate."
Completely true. WVU conducted a recent study that showed only 38% of 1996 grads still lived in WV and only 58% who graduated in 2005. No jobs, unless you're a coal miner or you sell airbrushed "Fuck Rich Rod" shirts at the "mall."
- May 12, 2008 4:41 PM
- Nate said...
"WVU that high on the list? LSU that low? Interesting."
Give WVU some credit. I mean we do have most of our offense coming back including PWhite/Devine and we did manage to destroy Oklahoma without RR. Our program may fall apart with the new coach, but I think it will be after this year (when Pat White leaves).
- May 12, 2008 4:43 PM
- Bigasshammm said...
WVU does return Pat White and Devine which is basically the only reason the program is being held together. Rich Rod made WVU what it is now and with him gone so too go the recruits that may have come there. What other possible reason would any decent level player want to go to WVU? In 2 years I don't think WVU will be a top 25 school for years to come until they make another major change.
LSU dropped because they dropped their QB. Until they've proven themselves in some games they are low. MSU being ranked 24th in that poll is a joke. PSU ranked is basically because of Jopa they always have to rank him or he'll have a stroke on the spot and nobody wants that. But either way you can't have rankings until a team has played a game. I wish they would do away with preseason rankings alltogether.

The #1 wide receiver in the country has verballed to WVU for January '09. Must be doing something right.
I mean RR was great at getting the most of the kids, but WVU never had great recruiting classes while he was there.
- May 12, 2008 5:00 PM
- OSURulz said...
Nate, couldn't agree more. My usual rule of thumb is that it takes at least 1 year for a program to gets its old coach out of its system, then you get more insight into whether the coaching change was good or bad in the second year. In WVU's case I think they'll have a good year this year and then start to deteriorate. But they will have the argument that they're rebuilding after losing Pat White. Of course I could be wrong, but that's my prediction at this point in time.

FWIW, here is Stewrt Mandel's preseason assessment of Michigan's team this year ...
I see you leave out the University of Michigan in your spring rankings. Even with the new coach, the new system and a question mark at QB, you don't see them as a top 25 team?
-- Aaron Wolfgang, Ft. Jackson, S.C.
Isn't that like saying, "Even with the ongoing mortgage crisis, plunging stock market and $4-a-gallon gas, you don't see the economy doing well?"
If they haven't already, I would strongly advise all Michigan fans to significantly lower their usual expectation level this coming season. I saw it for myself this spring, and I've talked to fellow writers who visited Ann Arbor as well. All of us came away with the same impression that it's going to be pretty ugly for the Wolverines in Rich Rodriguez's first season. (Rodriguez has insinuated as much himself.) They have no quarterback, no offensive linemen, no experienced receivers, and because it's a completely new system, none of them have any idea what they're doing out there.
Fortunately Michigan has enough talent on defense to avoid a Notre Dame-level meltdown, but a 6-6 year is a very real possibility. These things are often inevitable whenever there's a coaching change, and that's why I'd advise Michigan followers to lower their immediate expectations. Take heart in the fact that Jim Tressel went 7-5 his first season in Columbus (though he did beat Michigan), Pete Carroll went 6-6 his first season at USC ... and Rodriguez went 3-8 his first season at West Virginia. All three won at least five more games the following year.

alright. i'll play along.
here's michigan's schedule for the upcoming season:
Miami (Ohio)
Notre Dame
Penn State
Michigan State
Ohio State
just to which six teams are you two predicting we lose?
- May 12, 2008 6:24 PM
- OSURulz said...
SiC - Are you talking to me? I didn't say you guys would go 6-6. You'd have to ask Mandel if you want an answer to that. However for the sake of argument I will rank your schedule from what I see as toughest to easiest ...
Ohio State - I'm sure you're stunned.
Penn State
Purdue - Only cuz of the "snake oil" fued.
Notre Dame - Another fued
Michigan State - Yet another fued
Miami (Ohio)
Frankly I could envision a wide range of scenarios, but if you lost to ND, I guess you could say IMO 6-6 isn't out of the question for the season. However I would like to point out that I'm NOT making that prediction.
Would you agree with this ranking of relative strength? I haven't done too much research or even looked at which ones are home and away, which could affect my rankings.
- May 12, 2008 7:04 PM
- surrounded in columbus said...
i would have:
tosu (away)
psu (away)
utah (home)
wisc/msu/illi (all home)
nd (away)
purdue/minn (both away)
nu (home)
miami/toledo (both home)
listed in this order based on 1) how good the other team is supposed to be; 2) whether it is home or away; and 3) when during the season the game is played.
tosu & psu are 1 & 2 because they are thought to be very good and both are road games.
i have utah 3 because they are supposed to be good and are our first game.
i think the rest are pretty predictable from there.
- May 12, 2008 7:27 PM
- Nate said...
That's a pretty easy schedule. Hard to see 6 losses, but WVU did lose to Temple in RR's 1st year. Given you guys have much more talent than that team did but if players don't know the system, talent can't really make up for it. Look at Notre Dame.
- May 12, 2008 7:29 PM
- OSURulz said...
SiC - I would agree with your assessment. I looked strictly at how good I expected the teams to be, but I think you're dead on about when the teams meet being a big factor. As long as you can run the ball, which seems to be the bright spot on your offense, I expect you guys to beat the weaker competition.
I think Wiscy and Illinois might be in for a step back this season, but if not, they're giong to be a real handful. I don't expect ND to light the world on fire, but both of your teams have too many unknowns for any kind of comparison. However I do think the bad blood between you guys and Purdue, ND, and MSU will make all those contests just a little tougher.
I'd watch out for Toledo and Miami this year. It seems every year the MAC steps up and takes down a bigger name early in the season. Those are the "gotcha" games nobody wants to get caught looking past.
- May 12, 2008 7:55 PM
- Sgt. Wolverine said...
After Michigan's opening game last year, I think the gotcha game may happen somewhere other than Ann Arbor this year.
- May 13, 2008 12:41 AM
- surrounded in columbus said...
i'm not sure this year's opener isn't a good candidate. Utah has a good team and returns a lot of experienced players. seeing how it's the first game, i think it's the most dangerous of the four non conference games.
my pet theory for the season is that we'll steadily improve as the year goes on. that's why i can see a loss to Utah or Wisco in September but hold out hope for games in October/November.
i think November could be particularly fun. we play @ Purdue, @ Minn, home w/ NU, and @ Tosu. we have what could be 3 tune up games to prepare for tosu.
of course, we could be 3-8 by then, too. ;0

How do you define "birth control", Jason? Does abortion qualify as birth control? How about late-term abortion? (You can google "late term abortion" and watch a video of one if you don't know what that is.)That was inflammatory and distracting, but it highlighted the limit built into the term "contraception" that's missing from "birth control."
Attacks on Meade follow, including some weird sexism. Somebody calls him "Lawrence Elizabeth Meade." That commenter drags me in — even though I've never commented at Isthmus: "What's Mrs. Althouse's medical history on the subject?" (Note the sexism of using "Mrs." on a woman who has kept her maiden name.)
It's really hard to get people to focus on the question, which demands that people who don't agree with Santorum put themselves inside his head and understand how he experiences the idea that birth control is gravely wrong. It's especially hard when you introduce the actual policy question of whether people who believe it's a grave moral wrong should pay into an insurance fund that reimburses people who use it. Does the involvement in moral wrong carry over to that indirect connection to it? I would have said no, but Meade made the analogy to slavery:
Suppose Congress, in 1850, passed a law mandating every American citizen purchase group insurance to cover the loss of cargo ships. Including slave ships. Would you have been down with that?Of course, people rankled at the analogy to slavery. Meade invited people to point out the flaws in the analogy, which they hadn't done, and said, "it's actually a very good analogy""
In fact, working with my slavery analogy, here is a hypothetical that might help. Jason with his struggle to understand why some people consider some acts to be "grave moral wrongs" while others do not:
Let's say that sometime in the future, northern states pass laws removing all restrictions on abortion while southern states strictly limit legal abortion to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. Technological innovations and advances have made it possible to save the lives of aborted fetuses - 20 weeks and older - and to bring them to term.
There develops a covert system of collecting the aborted fetuses from the northern states' clinics and safely transporting them to the south where pro-life activists in southern states then incubate, "birth", and raise those children to then have pro-life values. The network becomes known as the Online Underground-high-speed Railroad System or OURS. Pro-life activists who covertly rescue the fetuses from northern clinics become known as COWs, short for "Catchers Of the Wry".
It turns out that, in northern states, the biological parents of the fetuses learn of OURS and object to what they consider to be an infringement on their constitutional property rights and they want their property/progeny returned. With their political power, the northern states pass through Congress, as part of what is known as the Compromise of 2050, an act requiring the southern states to return the aborted (now) free-born children, declaring that all rescued fetuses be brought back to their masters... I mean, parents... I mean, pro-choice proprietary DNA-owning provider owners.
The act is called the Fugitive Non-Human Commodity Act.
Which side are you on? The North? Or the South?

The first line connected City Hall with Harlem, running under Park Avenue South to Grand Central, across 42nd Street to Times Square and then rocketing up Broadway to 145th Street. The four-track subway reduced the time it took to make the same trip by elevated train or trolley car and New Yorkers noticed.
"Soon after the opening, the subway infrastructure branched out into Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens and through the decades, the subway system has expanded to accommodate the city's growing population," New York City Transit President Thomas Prendergast said. "No, in fact, the subway has spurred that growth by enabling commuters to cover long distances relatively quickly at reasonable cost."

CN serves the Port of Vancouver, BC, and the Port of Prince Rupert, BC, and a wide range of container shipping lines that offer scheduled service from all major Asian ports.
"CN is pleased to enter into this partnership with the Indiana Rail Road," said Jean-Jacques Ruest, CN executive vice president and chief marketing officer. "This all-rail service will reduce transit times and improve transportation consistency for Indiana importers, making their supply chains more competitive. CN's level-of-service agreements with the container terminal operators at Vancouver and Prince Rupert deliver superior fluidity from ship-to-rail at the ports."
"This is a great day for Indianapolis-area importers and exporters who for years have asked for all-rail, direct west coast intermodal service to the city," said Tom Hoback, INRD founder, president and chief executive officer. "Anyone who drives Interstate 65 between Indianapolis and Chicago knows what a bottleneck it is."
The new Indianapolis terminal is under construction and will be located at INRD's existing Senate Avenue Terminal, located in downtown Indianapolis, less than a mile from Lucas Oil Stadium. It will be complemented by a container yard and will start receiving empty containers June 15, 2013; an on-site agricultural products containerized export loading facility will be in service about the same time. The first import train will arrive in late June.
CN estimates containerized import goods will flow in as little as 18-20 days from port loading in Shanghai and Qingdao, China and Busan, Korea, to the INRD Senate Avenue Terminal, when using first port of call service.

"This is the best holiday gift the citizens of Honolulu could possibly receive: the lean, clean, smart city of the future," Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle said. "And the $250 million appropriation included for Honolulu in the President's proposed FY2013 budget is the single largest amount for any New Starts project in the United States."

So says junior wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez who made the leaping 26 yard catch at the U-M 4 yard line in the last minute of play to set up the winning OSU touchdown.
The 21 year year old Buckeye claims he was fresher at the end of that game and was less tired over the course of the season partially because he has been sleeping, playing video games and writing emails on his laptop inside a hypoxic altitude simulaton training system for over a year.
So don't blame departed U-M defensive coordinator Jim Herrmann, blame the 6x6x8 foot tent Gonzalez places over his bed. The device sucks air from the chamber and removes oxygen so Gonzalez feels like he's at an altitude of 8,000 feet. With the oxygen reduced from 20.9% to 13%, the thin air is pumped back inside the tent which Gonzalez climbs in then zips shut.
The idea behind this is to increase the number of red blood cells via prolonged exposure to simulated altitude. That in turn improves the body's ability to carry oxygen which increases endurance and shortens recovery time.
Even though his parents and doctors
Gonzalez spends 10 to 12 hours a day in his little tent and this month even lugged it to the Columbus hotel were the Bucks are staying during preseason camp. Coach Tressel not only gave
Hey, guess you can't blame Tressel if it helps beat Michigan. Although, how far has our program fallen when we're now losing to camping gear?

How I keep the actual palettes organized:
I keep them in a drawer of my vanity with the labels on the back. These are just simple labels that you can buy in the office/school supply section of any store. They peel off super easily too, as I've had to replace them several times because they get dirty. They should stay nice for months though :)


text: By almost every measure, Dragon Age 2 is a superior game to the original. It's received a much-needed visual overhaul, the characters are more relatable, the writing is smarter, combat is more finely-tuned, and level progression is clearer. Despite the layers of polish, though, this installment feels like it's lost some of its predecessor's charm. The game picks up in the midst of events from the first game, as the protagonist, Hawke, flees with his or her (in my case, her) family from the Blight. They make their way to the northern city of Kirkwall, and Hawke has to start her life anew in an unfamiliar place, running odd jobs for smugglers and mercenaries. In fact, even after I gained a reputation as Hawke, odd jobs made up most of the game. Kirkwall's various political factions, criminal enterprises, and shop owners apparently spend most of their time asking adventurers to solve their problems. As a result, sometimes it's hard to see how the disparate fetch quests add up to a complete plot. Dragon Age 2 gets more visual flair The story-within-a-story is delivered by a dwarven party member named Varric, explaining the life and times of Hawke to an investigator called the Seeker. Unfortunately, aside from a few clever "unreliable narrator" moments, this window dressing is fairly irrelevant. By the end, it becomes clear that this piece is more to set the tone for future installments than to have any real impact in this game. The main plot is composed of three vignettes, visiting significant moments in Hawke's life with years passing between them. The conceit works as a functional way to deliver long plot threads over the course of a decade, but it adds the side-effect of feeling episodic. The major threat isn't established until the very end, and the middle "episode" seems like a detour. The missions and pacing, though, are much improved; thanks in large part to refined combat mechanics that make the game feel more natural on a console. The tech trees are clearer, and special abilities pack enough visual punch to make this game feel modern. The measly six hot-keys still feel limiting, but it's easy enough to find a few abilities that you favor and rely on the combat wheel for the rest. Plus, a wider variety of enemies stave off Darkspawn fatigue. Difficulty has been tweaked, making Normal mode a bit easier. On this default setting, the pause-and-command tactics are really only necessary for particularly large crowds and boss fights. Hard Mode is the new standard-bearer for those who prefer strategy at every turn, and Casual can almost be played like an RPG/action hybrid. focalbox An RPG is nothing without its characters, and Dragon Age 2 ups the ante of interesting, relatable companions. Like the first, your decisions impact how much they like you, but they won't wander off. Disagreements with party members even come with rewards, in the form of passive stat boosts. While I found a few characters boring, the party as a whole was full of unique characters that I actually liked talking to. Since the entire game takes place in and around Kirkwall, you get the sense that these are friends with their own lives in the city, and they happen to accompany you on missions. These conversations build out deeper characters than just what the usual battle chatter in other games would provide. As a result, the relationships become more meaningful. Members on good terms with Hawke would engage in playful banter, and even those that disliked her showed begrudging respect. After I chose a romantic partner, I was particularly impressed to hear other characters casually mentioning the relationship, and Hawke's lover even came to offer comfort after an emotional story moment. Hawke herself was a standout as well. After the nature of the first game forced the protagonist to be a blank slate, BioWare reversed entirely and gave this one a defined personality and character arc. The improved facial animations can even express subtle changes in mood, showing everything from suspicion to wincing at a painful memory. While dialogue trees still keep the "good" and "bad" paths, the middle (aka "boring") option has been replaced with sarcasm. It usually errs on the side of good, but I gravitated towards it just to hear Hawke's latest cutting jab. And these dialogue moments keep alive my favorite feature from the original Dragon Age: gray morality. Hawke is asked to weigh in on quandaries that really have no right or wrong answer, and sometimes I actually had to step away for a few minutes to think about my decisions. But all the quips, moral choices, combat improvements, and great characters can't mask that this game just feels smaller. In an industry that aims to outdo itself with sequels, the journey doesn't carry the same epic sense of scope. The Hero of Ferelden saved the world in Dragon Age Origins; the Champion of Kirkwall in DA2 merely nudges some politics. The game hints that there are larger factors at play, but we never get to see them for ourselves. There's something to be said for giving us a smaller, more detailed slice of this world, but I wish Hawke felt like more than a footnote in its history. [This Dragon Age 2 review is based on a retail copy of the game played on a retail Xbox 360, purchased by the reviewer.]

While yesterday's closet tour post/video already related to decor, I still didn't want to skip this week's decor post completely so I thought I'd share a simple little idea that I guarantee everyone reading this post can do. Seriously, you've got the stuff to do this, I promise.
Especially if you shop at Sephora, which I know a lot of you all do!
If you're like me and shop there often (or any other beauty store really), you've probably got a shameful
For more on our guest bathroom makeover, check out this post!
So I dumped them in a big jar and placed it atop the counter of our guest bathroom grouped with a yummy-scented candle and possibly the cutest little Hermes travel soap and dish I ever did see. I grabbed that at a hotel I stayed at in Minneapolis a few years ago. Not from the nightstand or anything... But all of their little free travel toiletries were Hermes!! Inside is the most precious orange-scented soap. Sort of regretting not snagging a few more (or 27) of them while I was there. Note to self: When you can get free Hermes anything (even travel soap), YOU TAKE IT.
Seriously cute, huh?
Such a fun way to add some color and put to use some of those samples that you may be stashing! Plus, it's fun for your guests to grab a few new things to try while they stay with you.
If you don't have any apothecary jars like this, no worries! You can use any clear container, vase, bowl, anything! Be creative.
Speaking of apothecary jars, this little update made me bust out my big jar of bath bombs from underneath the cabinet in there that I had never found a real place for. So I just placed it in a little basket by the tub.
This is my favorite way to store them because they stay fresh, are easy to see, and most of all, it just looks pretty.
Here are some canister ideas!

Well, before I get ahead of myself, this one one of the products that mainly sparked my recent Sephora/Chanel Haul. I knew I HAD to try this stuff because Dior makes some of my absolute, all-time favorite nail polishes (Blue Label, Bikini, and Beige Safari). The formulas are AWESOME- think great coverage and amazing wear. So I knew I had to have this topcoat.
After mentioning it in that video, I knew I needed to start testing it out so I could let you all know my thoughts because I immediately started to get a LOT of questions about it.
Heck, I had questions about it. I was curious.
|Dior Gel Coat, $24
Here's the description of the product (from Sephora.com):
"What it is:
A top coat that imparts the look of a gel manicure.
What it does:
Recreate the look of a gel manicure. Smoothed over with a brilliant lacquered effect, Dior Gel Coat makes nails appear stronger and thicker. While it extends the life of your manicure, it is simple to take off: just use nail polish remover when you're ready for your next polish change!"
So my first go with this product was with my new Chanel Bel-Argus. You may remember this post about it.
I applied it a little thick as it says you can do in the instructions to get a shinier, more gel-like result. First thoughts? Looked pretty good! It applied and dried exactly like a typical thicker top coat (think Seche Vite). Looked super thick, shiny, and gel-like (similar to any thicker top coat) for a day. By the second day, it looked similar to anything else. Still shiny, but definitely not "gel-like".
After the second day? Chip city. USA. Times ten. So I thought it could be the nail polish. There's NO way it could be this $24 bottle of "gel-like" wonder...
So I went to remove it. TOOK FOREVER. I'm talking I almost gave up.
Being the scientific person that I am (yeah, I'm scientific), I decided to test it with a different nail polish shade, brand, and formula. Because, hey, it could have totally been the Chanel. Which I was reallllly hoping wasn't true.
So I tried it out with Essie's Funky Limelight. I applied it a bit thinner this time, about the same as you would a typical top coat.
What do you guys think of this stuff? Anyone else tried it? What is YOUR favorite topcoat??

It is great for maximum distance, accuracy, tailwind drives, and intermediate to advanced players looking for a distance disc.
About Star plastic in general - it has the durability of Champion plastic with the superior all-weather grip of Pro plastic. Star discs have the same flight rating characteristics of Champion discs, although some Star Lite discs may be slightly more high-speed stable. Star retains flight characteristics longer than DX or Pro Plastics.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Star colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.
The Star Orc is essentially the Special Blend Orc that was released as an exclusive fundraiser for the 2006 Tulsa Am Worlds. A favorite of Orc lovers for its predictable long flight. The Star Orc is now part of our regular product line and is offered in a complete range of Star colors. Introduced 9-18-06
The Champion Glow Orc is a fundraiser for the Discs Unlimited Open. Limited quantities.

"This is a "Next Level Disc". I have seen countless players, including myself, kick their game up another notch. At one time, I was referring to the Orc as "Instant Distance". Great for high speed straight shots. The Orc has a fat rim for super big hand feel. In light weights it is an S-curve crusher. Good roller." - Jay Reading

Jonathan V. Last writes in The Weekly Standard:
Obama came clean to the university first. He waited until his fellowship was halfway over—perhaps he was concerned that his employers might not like the bait-and-switch. He needn't have worried. [Douglas Baird, the head of Chicago's appointments committee] still hoped that Obama would eventually join the university's faculty...
And it all worked out in the end. The book Obama eventually finished was Dreams from My Father. It didn't do well initially, but nine years later, after his speech at the 2004 Democratic convention made him a star, it sold like gangbusters. Obama got rich. And famous. The book became the springboard for his career in national politics.
Only it didn't quite work out for everybody. Obama left the University of Chicago... Simon & Schuster, which had taken a chance on an unproven young writer, got burned for a few thousand bucks. And Jane Dystel, who'd plucked him out of the pages of the New York Times and got him the deal to write the book that sped his political rise? As soon as Obama was ready to negotiate the contract for his second book—the big-money payday—he dumped her and replaced her with super-agent Robert Barnett.

Among them are Meg Whitman, who supported Proposition 8 [a ban on same-sex marriage] when she ran for California governor; Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Richard Hanna of New York; Stephen J. Hadley, a Bush national security adviser; Carlos Gutierrez, a commerce secretary to Mr. Bush; James B. Comey, a top Bush Justice Department official; David A. Stockman, President Ronald Reagan's first budget director; and Deborah Pryce, a former member of the House Republican leadership from Ohio who is retired from Congress....Actually, this isn't such an impressive list of names. It seems pretty pathetic to me.
[T]he presence of so many well-known former officials — including Christine Todd Whitman, former governor of New Jersey, and William Weld and Jane Swift, both former governors of Massachusetts — suggests that once Republicans are out of public life they feel freer to speak out against the party's official platform, which calls for amending the Constitution to define marriage as "the union of one man and one woman."Or it suggests Republican governors of New Jersey and Massachusetts aren't that conservative.
But then there's Huntsman:
Jon M. Huntsman Jr., the former Utah governor, who favored civil unions but opposed same-sex marriage during his 2012 presidential bid, also signed. Last week, Mr. Huntsman announced his new position in an article titled "Marriage Equality Is a Conservative Cause," a sign that the 2016 Republican presidential candidates could be divided on the issue for the first time.This is the first reference I've seen to Huntsman's article, and I'm constantly scanning the web for news stories, especially on the subject of same-sex marriage, especially with the Supreme Court decision pending. Why isn't Huntsman more influential? It's uncanny that this man, a former governor, very nice looking, doesn't get more play among conservatives. Here he is trying to tell conservatives what's conservative, and I don't have to read his article or any response to it to know that conservatives will reject what he's saying out of hand, designating him not a conservative.
But how about not rejecting it out of hand? Put aside your Huntsmanophobia for a moment. He connects marriage equality to free market capitalism:
Marriage is not an issue that people rationalize through the abstract lens of the law; rather it is something understood emotionally through one's own experience with family, neighbors, and friends. The party of Lincoln should stand with our best tradition of equality and support full civil marriage for all Americans.I'd say that's a bit under-theorized. There's so much padding at the beginning of the article — Republicans need to win over the younger generation and so forth. The ending is a mishmash — a mere hint of an idea that might make sense. What does he say other than equality is good and free market capitalism is also good? There's this odd concession that law doesn't matter, because this is something that people are going to understand emotionally. Rather than make an "abstract" legal argument — why is law only abstract? — he appeals to emotion. You should be for equality because equality is the right principle. First of all, that's abstract. Secondly, the go-with-your-heart, emotion-is-the-answer approach is what leads so many people to oppose same-sex marriage.
This is both the right thing to do and will better allow us to confront the real choice our country is facing: a choice between the Founders' vision of a limited government that empowers free markets, with a level playing field giving opportunity to all, and a world of crony capitalism and rent-seeking by the most powerful economic interests.
Adam Smith was not only an architect of the modern world of extraordinary economic opportunity, he was a moralist whose first book was The Theory of Moral Sentiments. The foundation of his thought was his insight that free markets and open commerce strengthened our moral fiber by reinforcing the community of shared and reciprocal economic interests. Government, he thought, had to be limited lest it be captured and corrupted by special business interests who wanted protection from competition and the reciprocal requirements of community.
We are at a crossroads. I believe the American people will vote for free markets under equal rules of the game—because there is no opportunity or job growth any other way. But the American people will not hear us out if we stand against their friends, family, and individual liberty.
The other argument seems to be that the economic issues are what's really important, so let's get this pesky marriage issue behind us so we can move on. People will "vote for free markets" if there are conditions of equality. That suggests that marriage equality is the kind of equality in the marketplace that Adam Smith was talking about. Is it? Maybe, but Huntsman doesn't even attempt to connect that all up. As I said: under-theorized. That's my abstract legalistic view and my from-the-heart emotional view.

Voting now under way for 2012 All-Star Game
Fans have plenty of chances to cast ballots for top players
By Mark Newman / MLB.com | 04/20/12 4:00 PM ET
Balloting is under way for the 83rd All-Star Game on July 10 at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, marking the return of an annual fan tradition that shatters voting records each summer, starts debates and sets Major League Baseball apart from all other sports leagues.
The 2012 All-Star Game Online Ballot was launched on Friday, the same day in-park balloting begins at Kauffman Stadium, and that begins the process of fans deciding on starting position players. The online ballot is up through June 28 -- exclusively at MLB.com and all 30 club sites, wired or mobile -- allowing you to cast up to 25 ballots per email address. Then comes the always-frenetic finish with the All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote from July 1-5 and the annual MVP Vote during the Midsummer Classic to help decide who wins the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award.
The ceremonial start to the largest balloting program in sports was held on Thursday in the host city, as MLB, Firestone and the Royals conducted a news conference featuring Tim Brosnan, MLB executive vice president of business; Royals owner David Glass; Kansas City Mayor Sly James; Jackson County executive Mike Sanders; Hall of Famer and MLB All-Star Summer Ambassador George Brett; and Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, the MLB All-Star FanFest spokesperson.
"As we aim for another record year of All-Star Balloting, today's festivities at Kauffman Stadium represent the beginning of our efforts to bring the excitement of the Midsummer Classic to the wonderful fans of Kansas City," Commissioner Bud Selig said. "Today's players are carrying on the legacy of George Brett and the other greats of the game, and we are delighted to bring the All-Star Game to Kansas City for the first time since 1973."
"The players in the game will be selected as part of an All-Star balloting program that is the single-largest election in the United States," Brosnan added. "There will be more ballots cast for these players than will be cast in the presidential election."
The National League has won consecutive All-Star Games for the first time since 1994-96, capitalizing on that consequential World Series home-field advantage to produce Major League Baseball's past two champions -- St. Louis last year and San Francisco in 2010. It will be especially interesting to watch what happens at first base in both leagues, now that voting mainstays Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder have moved from the NL ballot over to the AL with the Angels and Tigers, respectively.
Each year brings newcomers into the Midsummer Classic, and this is where fans can directly influence such an honor for their favorite players or those they consider most deserving.
"I would like to go. Definitely, (it's an honor)," said Carlos Ruiz of the Phillies, back on the NL ballot at catcher and hoping for his first All-Star selection. "At the same time, I don't want to put pressure on myself. Definitely, one day I want to enjoy that. That's the one thing every player, that's why we play baseball."
MLB's All-Star Balloting Program last year produced a record-shattering total of 32.5 million ballots cast. MLB.com finished the 2011 voting for the 17 starting position players in record-setting fashion -- with 357.5 million votes and 27.4 million ballots -- and then fans added Shane Victorino of the Phillies and Paul Konerko of the White Sox via the Final Vote.
More than 20 million Firestone All-Star ballots will be distributed at the 30 Major League ballparks, each of which will have 23 dates for balloting, and in approximately 100 Minor League ballparks.
During the voting period, the All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot will be available in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese and will offer audio CAPTCHA functionality for visually-impaired fans. Every MLB club will have begun its in-stadium balloting no later than Tuesday, May 8. When the in-stadium phase of balloting concludes on Friday, June 22, fans will have the opportunity to cast their ballots exclusively online at MLB.com and the 30 club sites until 11:59 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 28.
Firestone, the official tire of MLB, is once again the exclusive sponsor of the 2012 In-Stadium All-Star Balloting Program. The ballot features an All-Star sweepstakes, in which a winner will be awarded with a trip for two to MLB All-Star Week -- including airfare, hotel accommodations, tickets to the All-Star Game and other MLB All-Star Week events -- along with a set of four Firestone tires.
Scotts, the official lawn care company of MLB, is once again the sponsor of the retail All-Star Balloting Program, which launches on May 4 in select Lowe's stores and Chevrolet dealerships across the country. The Scotts ballot will include an opportunity to enter for a chance to win a baseball field makeover using Scotts products for your community.
Banco BHD will sponsor All-Star Balloting in the Dominican Republic, making Spanish-language ballots available to fans in the Dominican Republic via LasMayores.com, the official Spanish-language Web site of MLB, and at All-Star Balloting terminals across more than 80 branches, beginning in May. Coors Light will provide offline All-Star Balloting in 60 Wal-Mart and Amigo convenience stores throughout Puerto Rico, from May 1 to June 10.
For the fourth consecutive year, this year's ballot will feature the State Farm Home Run Derby Fan Poll. Fans will have the opportunity to select three players in each league who they would most like to see in the annual power display. The Fan Poll also will be available on MLB.com. This year's derby, part of Gatorade All-Star Workout Day, will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the U.S. beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 9.
National League candidates include: Ryan Braun of the Brewers, Justin Upton of the D-backs, Matt Holliday of the Cardinals, Joey Votto of the Reds, Matt Kemp of the Dodgers, David Wright of the Mets, Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins, Ryan Zimmerman of the Nationals, Troy Tulowitzki of the Rockies and Dan Uggla of the Braves.
American League candidates include: Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays, Evan Longoria of the Rays, Miguel Cabrera of the Tigers, 2010 winner David Ortiz of the Red Sox, defending champion Robinson Cano of the Yankees, Pujols of the Angels, 2009 winner Fielder of the Tigers, Mark Reynolds of the Orioles, Josh Hamilton of the Rangers and Konerko of the White Sox.
The 2012 AL and NL All-Star Teams will be unveiled on Sunday, July 1, on the 2012 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show presented by Taco Bell, televised nationally on TBS. The AL All-Star Team will have nine elected starters via the fan balloting program, while the NL All-Star Team will have eight fan-elected starters. The pitchers and reserves for both squads -- totaling 25 for the NL and 24 for the AL -- will be determined through a combination of "Player Ballot" choices and selections made by the two All-Star managers -- AL skipper Ron Washington of the Rangers and NL manager Tony La Russa -- in conjunction with Major League Baseball. La Russa will be coming out of retirement solely to manage in this game.
Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL rosters, fans will begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2012 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over a four-day period and the winners will be announced after the voting concludes on Thursday, July 5. Now in its eighth year, fans again will be able to make their Final Vote selections on their mobile phones.
The final phase of All-Star Game voting again will have fans participating in the official voting for the Ted Williams All-Star Game Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet. During the Midsummer Classic, fans will vote exclusively online at MLB.com via the 2012 All-Star Game MLB.com MVP Vote, and their collective voice will represent 20 percent of the official vote determining this year's recipient of the Arch Ward Trophy.
"They talk about those All-Star Games being exhibition affairs, and maybe they are," said late Hall of Famer Carl Hubbell, who played in nine of the first 10 All-Star Games, including the first one in 1933. "But I've seen very few players in my life who didn't want to win, no matter whom they were playing or what for."
The 2012 All-Star Game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports; in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS; and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. Pregame ceremonies will begin at 8 p.m. ET. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide exclusive national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB.com, MLB Network and Sirius XM will provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage.

The increased train speed typically reduces motorist wait time at crossings and improves railroad operating efficiency where UP has made track improvements.
Train speeds will be increased five mph on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2012, and another four mph on Saturday, Dec. 8, when the new maximum speed limit of 49 mph goes into effect.
UP invested $28 million this year on track improvements between Wellington and the Kansas/Oklahoma state line, which was instrumental to the speed increase on this section of its rail network. Crews replaced rail, installed switches, replaced ties and improved the road surfaces at crossings.

I L.O.V.E this clutch because it holds just as much as my large bags. I mean I know it's technically a "clutch", but I like to refer to it as the "mega clutch". It's ridic huge.
Ok so I posed this question on my Instagram last night, but am I the only one that calls these types of shorts "a$$ front shorts"? Seriously.
You know, because they make you look like you've got an a$$ in the front. I've seen some hilarious examples of this, however, I'm not about to embarrass anyone on here by posting pics so use your imagination...haha. I think it's the fabric. With this cut, if you go with a thicker fabric (like a faux leather or thick cotton), you can seriously have this front-rear situation going on.
