SEC Football: Power Ranking the 5 Teams with the Best Chance to Win Conference
College football begins again in 88 days, which means the optimism generated in spring practice burns strong.
You know—at least until midway through the first quarter of the season opener.
Everyone's undefeated, and if the predictions of "realistic" SEC fans came true, every team would win at least five league games.
Of course, the math doesn't quite add up in this case. And expectations of significant steps forward will be dashed—likely within the first month.
Anyone can technically win their divisions at this point. One only needs to look back just a year to realize surprises can happen even in the mighty SEC.
It's hard to believe anyone had Auburn and Missouri in the SEC Championship Game a year ago.
Still, there are programs that simply won't be in Atlanta on Dec. 6—to play in a football game anyway.
Looking at you, Kentucky.
While last year's Auburn-Missouri final came as a surprise, the matchup doesn't always come as a total surprise.
Picking Alabama to come out of the West, for instance, would have yielded positive results in four out of the past seven seasons.
Vanderbilt, conversely, hasn't represented its division since—well—ever.
So while picking the most likely teams to win the SEC shortly after the calendar flipped to June might seem ambitious, handicapping the league isn't impossible.
Here goes our best shot.

Big 12 Football: Ranking the Top 25 Players Heading into 2014
Football in the Big 12 Conference has taken a reputation hit since the 2013 season ended, the product of only three players from the league leaving early for the NFL draft and a grand total of just 17 getting drafted overall.
Take those numbers for what you will, but one thing is certain: Those that will represent the Big 12 on the field this fall will be far more prized by professional scouts and teams. Bleacher Report NFL expert Matt Miller has four from the league projected in his early 2015 mock draft, double the tally that was taken in the first round this past draft, while many others are drawing interest for their future pro potential.
For now, though, they're all still college players, and together should make the Big 12 a heck of a league to watch this year.
Here's our look at the 25 best Big 12 players heading into the 2014 season.
3 Reasons 5-Star RB Damien Harris Will Sign with Michigan
Once upon a time, Damien Harris was committed to Michigan's 2015 class. By verbally pledging to the Wolverines, the 5'11," 205-pound Berea Madison Southern (Kentucky) running back served as a shot of adrenaline to the arm of a program in need of 5-star services in the backfield.
And then he changed his mind, causing a rift that hit fans like a ton of bricks.
Freed of his ties, Harris unofficially visited Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Kentucky. According to 247Sports, he has "warm" interest in Alabama and Auburn, which complicates matters.
However, as of early June, Harris remains as a possibility for coach Brady Hoke, whose talent-laden recruiting hauls continually quench the thirst of an extraordinarily dedicated fanbase. In essence, Hoke's success on the trail overshadows otherwise miserable seasons by Michigan standards.
The 2012 and 2013 classes were more than kind to Hoke, finishing as the No. 6- and No. 4-ranked collections, respectively, per 247Sports. Without Harris, Michigan's 2015 class dwells at No. 33. But if he were to commit and sign, the Wolverines could finish among the top 15 come national signing day in February.
On May 22, Fred Jackson, running backs coach, paid an in-home visit to the Harris household. When it's all said and done, the veteran's communication with Harris could prove as a difference-maker in the process.
Now it's time to review what else Michigan has done, should do and could do to get Harris in a winged helmet.
He Was Michigan's, First!
It was mentioned just moments ago, but it bears repeating: Michigan was Harris' original choice. The firing of Al Borges, the former OC, rattled him a bit.
But Harris has kept in close contact, keeping the door open and Maize and Blue fans eagerly anticipating the latest news.
OC Philosophy
While at Alabama, Doug Nussmeier coached some of the best talent that recruiting could recruit. He's not a national name, but a well-known entity nonetheless. During a recent interview with SB Nation, Harris admitted that he wasn't overly familiar with Michigan's new OC but is working on changing that, per Luke Zimmerman:
"The coaches at Ohio State — Coach Meyer, Coach Hinton, Coach Drayton — I've talked to them for a long time. But you know Coach Nussmeier at Michigan, he hasn't been there for very long. I'm just now starting to build a relationship with him."
Nussmeier is best known for his work with quarterbacks. But he's also known for forming bonds with his athletes, and that'll come into play while Harris mulls over his options. Players should want to play for coaches who can advance them in life, on the field and in the classroom.
Ringing public endorsements never hurt, and Nussmeier received them from Hoke and Nick Saban, via MGoBlue.com.
Doug is a highly respected offensive coordinator and has earned a reputation as being a great mentor to quarterbacks, specifically, where he's coached Pro Bowlers, top NFL draft choices and Heisman Trophy finalists. Doug has been successful at every coaching stop with his balanced and explosive offenses, and he brings national championship experience. He is an excellent addition to our coaching staff and football program...(goes on to welcome Nussmeier family)
Doug did an outstanding job for us during his time at the University of Alabama and I'm sure he will do a great job at the University of Michigan. He is a bright coach who works hard and brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to work each and every day. Our production and balance the last two years has been very good and he also brought a lot to the table in terms of coaching the quarterbacks...(goes on to thank Nussmeier family)
The Tide's past under and Michigan potential with Nussmeier could also be a deciding factor for Harris.
Wolverines RB Tradition
In all likelihood, Jackson and the rest of the staff have recruiting down to a science. They should. Regardless of how smooth one is, it's often helpful to put the prospect in the mood. By doing so, it generates emotion—and in some cases, it can encourage desired results, which, in this scenario, would be a commitment.
As the No. 1-ranked athlete at his position, Harris has his pick of the litter. But for fun, let's say that the Wolverines have hit him with something similar to the following narrative:
Damien, it's a brisk Saturday in late November at The Big House, and more than 110,000 loyal supporters are chanting your name—oh, and it's 4th-and-goal from Ohio State's 3-yard line with one tick remaining on the clock. And then it happens: Everything becomes a blur, and the ball is thrust toward your abdomen by the quarterback—seconds later, you find yourself being mobbed by teammates who are celebrating your game-winning touchdown.
Doesn't that sound like something you'd like to do? Don't you want to be a major part of one of the game's most storied rivalries? Michigan is for you, Damien.
OK, so it's not perfect, but the wooing technique is certainly an important part of the sales pitch. Again, for fun, let's assume that Jackson also has that part nailed. After all, in 2013, he convinced Derrick Green, who was once thought to be the top back of the class, and De'Veon Smith, a consensus top-20er, to look past the others and head to Ann Arbor.
However, it's mandatory to tread lightly when using the tradition speech. Old stories don't win today's games, and Harris probably couldn't care less about being a featured back on a team that's spinning its wheels in the mud. But Michigan has to do much more than serenade the Bluegrass State's prized ball-carrier; it has to prove that it's worthy of rejecting the rest of college football.

Position-by-Position Preview of Tennessee's 2014 Roster
The Tennessee Volunteers are going to be full of new faces in 2014, and having a roster handy those first few games may not be a bad idea.
All of the Vols' signees—besides Chris Weatherd—are on campus, officially on the roster and ready to participate in summer workouts, which means the team is coming more into focus.
The good news is head coach Butch Jones is getting the same level of injected defensive talent now that he did offensively prior to spring practice.
The bad news is there isn't a lot of time to get them ready to play Southeastern Conference football.
"The challenging part is the individuals on offense, most of our recruiting class was here this spring," Jones told Bleacher Report in an exclusive interview. "They now have a spring under their belt from a maturation standpoint. (Defensively) now you're relying on 17- or 18-year-old freshmen coming in, and all they have is June, July and August to get ready to play a full season.
"But the realities of where we're at is there are going to be a lot of freshmen that have to play defensively. A lot of it's going to be in the interior front and at the linebacker position and even in the secondary. It's going to be critical we extract every ounce of value from each day."
So, where do all the new players fit? A lot of that still needs to be sorted out, but now that everybody has arrived (besides Weatherd, who still has a shot to get into UT, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel's Evan Woodbery), the puzzle pieces are beginning to fall into place.
So, let's take a look at an early position-by-position breakdown of UT's 2014 roster.
Position-by-Position Preview of the Georgia Bulldogs' 2014 Roster
Summertime is here and the preview magazines are starting to hit the newsstands. So the 2014 college football season is right around the corner.
With the new season coming, expectations will be high for every team in the FBS. And that is no different for the Georgia Bulldogs, who return a deep roster.
There will be some new faces like there are every year, and there are some key players who were on last year's team who will be missed. But looking at each position, the Bulldogs could have the most talented roster in the SEC.
But is that good enough to win the SEC and have a chance to play in the College Football Playoff?
Here's a position-by-position preview of the Bulldogs' 2014 roster.
5 Recruits Who Could Join 4-Star RB Taj Griffin at Oregon
Oregon has a commitment from 4-star speedster Taj Griffin. From Georgia, Griffin is a dynamic offensive recruit who can do damage as a runner and receiver.
The 5'10", 175-pounder has terrific quickness to launch himself through alleys, plus he is lethal in space. The Ducks will use Griffin's pledge to attract more talented recruits to join their class, and several top-tier prospects are keeping close tabs on what's happening in Eugene.
A 5-star defensive end digs Oregon a ton, while a 4-star safety could spurn both of his local schools to become a Duck. Also, a quarterback could choose to join Griffin.
Big Ten Football: Power Ranking 5 Teams with the Best Chance to Win Conference
Michigan State was nothing short of impressive in 2013, blowing past the best the Big Ten could offer in route to an 8-0 conference record and a win over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game—all by double-digit margins. Do the Spartans have another championship run in them, or will we see a changing of the guard in 2014?
Michigan State needs to reload its defense. Ohio State, unquestionably the second-best team in the Big Ten in 2013, has its own share of holes to fill. Both teams return impressive talent, but with conference realignment, both the Buckeyes and Spartans are now part of the new East Division.
What about the West and its soon-to-be divisional powerhouses? Can Nebraska shake off yet another four-loss season (its sixth straight)? Can Wisconsin reclaim its once dominant role?
We'll break down the five teams we think have the best shot at winning the Big Ten title in 2014, and we've broken them down into the top two teams in each division, plus a fifth "wild card" team.
Football is a crazy sport where anything can happen, but we're fairly confident these five teams have the best shot at making a run for the Big Ten title—and the likely College Football Playoff berth that could come with it.
2015 College Football Recruits Who Deserve More Hype
The 2015 class has several prospects who are surrounded by a ton of hype. While many of them deserve it, the hype they've gained has taken the spotlight away from other recruits more than it should.
Looking down the board, several players deserve more hype and acclaim than they're currently receiving. A 4-star receiver should riot over not having an extra star, and a speedy running back deserves to be ranked much higher than where he is.
Also, a talented 4-star cornerback and a 3-star pass-rusher are better players than many people think.
Alabama Football Recruiting: 4 Reasons Why Daron Payne Will Sign with Alabama
Daron Payne's recruitment is the latest extension of the most heated rivalry in college football between Alabama and Auburn.
Both in-state powers are trying to lure the 5-star defensive tackle from Birmingham, and he's gone on record stating that each program has a special pull for him.
"I grew up an Auburn fan, so I've been wanting to play for them all of my life." Payne told Bryan Matthews of Auburn Undercover. "Then I got the Alabama offer, and then (it's like) everybody wants to play for 'Bama."
Similar to the recruitments of Rashaan Evans and Reuben Foster, Payne's recruitment will be a fight to the end between Nick Saban and Gus Malzahn.
What are some of the main reasons Tide fans have to be confident in landing Payne?

Auburn Fan's Groom's Cake Commemorates Ending to Iron Bowl
Billy Gilley is apparently a huge Auburn Tigers football fan, so his family decided to do something pretty awesome for his groom's cake.
The family got a cake made of Jordan-Hare Stadium with the score tied at 28-28 against Alabama with one second remaining on the clock. The cake is an obvious reference to Auburn's famous play this past season, when Chris Davis returned a missed field goal 109 yards for a game-ending touchdown.

Position-by-Position Review of Texas A&M's 2014 Roster
The Texas A&M football team has a roster that is almost completely stocked full of SEC-level talent. There are still some depth issues at certain positions, but the Texas A&M football coaches have done a tremendous job of turning over the roster in the last three recruiting classes.
In order to be an elite program in the SEC, you need to be three-deep at every position. When the Aggies entered the SEC in 2012, they had good starters but suspect backups. In 2013, they lost a lot of those starters on defense and were forced to go with a youth movement that resulted in one of the worst defenses in the country.
The Aggies will benefit from suffering through those youthful mistakes in 2013, with a more experienced roster in 2014. The Aggies are not three-deep across the board yet, but they are making strides in that direction.
Head coach Kevin Sumlin and his staff have recruited consecutive top10 classes to Aggieland. The team's fans will really begin to see some of the fruit of that labor in 2014.
This is a position-by-position breakdown of the Aggies roster in 2014.
Lane Kiffin Comments on Alabama Football Offense and More
A new era is beginning in Alabama with Lane Kiffin now in charge of the Crimson Tide offense. The former USC and Tennessee head coach took over the role of offensive coordinator this offseason and has slowly integrated his system in Tuscaloosa.
Apparently much of that system will revolve around an immensely talented backfield. Kiffin spoke about how the process has gone thus far, via Mike Herndon of AL.com:
"As you guys know extremely well, I think the offense is led by the tailbacks," Kiffin said. "There probably aren't three more talented tailbacks in the NFL on a roster than we're fortunate to be able to work with at Alabama."
That trio includes T.J. Yeldon and Kenyan Drake, along with a healthy dose of Derrick Henry. While Yeldon comes into the season as the bell cow for Kiffin's offense, the junior clearly won't be the only player fighting for snaps during the 2014 season.
But are the three better than the top-three backs of NFL teams? Ben Maller of Fox Sports Radio gives his thoughts on a former NFL team that Kiffin coached:
If all three backs are able to produce during the upcoming season with a good share of the touches, Kiffin might be able to see all three live up to his hype. After losing a two-time National Championship-winning quarterback in AJ McCarron to the NFL, leaning on such a talented trio might be the perfect fix for their loss behind center.
After a stable of backs like Eddie Lacy, Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson have made their impact in the SEC, Yeldon and company might just make a dent of their own this season.
With the three-headed monster that Kiffin believes he has in Tuscaloosa, this might be yet another championship season for the Tide. But if his expectations for the three backs fall short—which we've seen happen multiple times to Kiffin—the 39-year-old coach might have his name on the hot seat early in his career.

USC Football: 5 Reasons Why 5-Star CB Iman Marshall Will Sign with the Trojans
Though Steve Sarkisian has yet to coach a game for the Trojans, he has already made a significant impact on USC's recruiting fortunes.
Following up a fantastic finish to the 2014 recruiting class, Sark has already crafted what many think is a top 15 group of players, who have given the Trojans their verbal pledge for next year.
Now working with a full complement of scholarships after completing the NCAA imposed sanctions, the USC recruiting brain trust is not sitting on its laurels, though.
Indeed, the Trojans still have a bevy of high profile recruits on their radar and one of the most highly regarded of those players is the subject of this slideshow.
Iman Marshall is a big (6'1.5", 190 pounds) cornerback who is regarded as one of the finest prep players in the nation.
Rated a 5-star prospect by Scout.com, the Polytechnic High School (Long Beach, Calif.) product has everything and more one looks for in a lock down corner.
Marshall, whose nickname is "Biggie," is a priority for USC and though he is giving the Trojans a very long look, outwardly he remains mum on where he will wind up.
However, here are five reasons why Marshall will wind up in the Cardinal and Gold when all is said and done.
Or at least why he should.

Officials envision new East River waterfront
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer announced a re-imagining of the East River waterfront today.
The East River Blueway Plan, created with residents, architecture and urban design experts and the Lower East Side Ecology Center, focuses on the waterfront from Brooklyn Bridge to East 38th Street.
Along with preventing such storm damage as experienced during Sandy, it includes new bike paths, beaches and boating spots.
"The plan we are unveiling opens up the waterfront, but also protects the community with wave barriers, wetlands and other safeguards," Stringer said.
Stringer's office pledged $3.5 million to find new ways to mitigate storm problems along FDR Drive.
The plan extends wetlands from the shoreline and adds drainage beneath the highway, which officials say will absorb storm water surge.
It would also fortify the shoreline beneath the Brooklyn Bridge.
Under the plan, people could boat in the East River in a portion unaffected by tidal currents, he said.

I was just telling a friend of mine the other day that I wanted to have the "Have a Ball" theme for our preschool end of the year party! This is perfect for a little goodie! Thanks a million!
Take care,

What type/model printer are you using to print your printables?

Right now I'm using a canon pixma photo printer. Of course, laser is best but mine broke a few years ago and since Sister and I are no longer in the invitation business I didn't want to invest in another. The canon works fine for this type of thing! Hope that helps, Amanda

Alicia - I use Printing Press Professional (used to have an invitation business.) Maybe you could do a solid color card stock or scrapbook paper in the size you need and then glue or double stick tape the Have a Ball tag on top of that?? Amanda

Oak Creek - An alert off-duty security officer thwarted a shoplifting attempt at Pick 'n Save, 2320 W. Ryan Road, at 12:30 p.m. Dec. 18, and detained one of the suspects until police arrived.
According to the Oak Creek police log:
An off-duty loss prevention contractor for Roundy's was shopping at the store when he saw two men loading a cart with baby formula. The officer recognized one of the men as a shoplifting suspect from recent store alerts and immediately told the store manager. When the manager attempted to stop the men at the store exit, one, a 51-year-old Milwaukee man, pushed the manager back and reached toward his waistband. Fearing the man had a weapon, the security officer wrestled him to the floor and held him until police arrived.
Pick 'n Save employees locked the front doors during the incident for the safety of incoming customers.
The second man involved in the theft attempt is described as a stocky black man wearing a multi-colored plaid shirt. He drove off in a silver or tan Buick Century.
Officers discovered the 51-year-old man is wanted on a warrant for retail theft with the West Allis Police Department and on five warrants for grand theft in Florida.

5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
Ubiquiti Networks
Another stock in the communications equipment complex that's trading within range of triggering a major breakout trade is Ubiquiti Networks (UBNT), which offers a portfolio of wireless networking products and solutions, including systems, high-performance radios, antennas and management tools, designed for wireless networking and other applications in the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum. This stock has been destroyed by the bears during the last six months, with shares down by 65%.
If you look at the chart for Ubiquiti Networks, you'll notice that this stock recently gapped down huge from over $15 to below $9 a share with monster volume. Following that gap down, shares of UBNT went on to print a new 52-week low at $7.80 a share. That said, the stock has started to rebound off that low with decent upside volume, and it's now trending very close to breaking out and entering that gap down zone. If UBNT can sustain a move into that gap, then this stock could bet setting up to explode higher.
>>5 Tech Stocks to Trade (or Not)Traders should now look for long-biased traders in UBNT if this stock can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance at $9.45 a share, and if it can take out its gap down day high of $9.53 with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that registers near or above its three-month average action of 952,273 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then UBNT could easily rip higher and fill some of that gap back towards $11.50 to $12.32 a share, or possibly even higher. At last check, UBNT has printed an intraday high of $9.50 and volume is clocking in above 300,000 shares. One could buy this stock off weakness and simply use a stop right around some near-term support at $8.72 a share. Or you can buy off strength once $9.45 to $9.53 a share gets taken out with high volume, and then use a stop near today's low of $8.95 a share.

The next big thing: Konjac
A lot to talk about this week
The high school sports' season(s) got underway with Friday Night Lights and Friday Afternoon Sunshine from outposts like Hunters and Inchelium—to Kettle Falls and Colville.
From my cheap seat, all I have to say is it's about time." As an unabashed sports fan of the mostly college and high school persuasion, I have been eagerly awaiting the start of high school sports. Yes, it tends to ratchet up my workload exponentially, but that's okay. What else am I going to do? It's all about being a good sport all ways and always being a good sport.
Let's talk about sexual orientation.
For those of you who I haven't immediately lost to another section of the newspaper, thank you for staying with me. I mean no rudeness, crudeness, or offense. But we're all adults, and I would like to write about an issue that has been nagging at me for a while now.
Marriage has always been like my own personal Sasquatch. Do I really believe in it? I've fluctuated between "Yes, I've seen the proof!" to "No, if you examine the footage closer you will see that's actually a dissatisfied couple in a gorilla suit." Other times, I have simply been awed and inspired by other's commitment to the Love Kool-Aid and their fondness and respect for their partner as they take the ride called life together.
A new top tax rate, higher Medicare taxes and the phase-out of deductions and exemptions could mean higher taxes for wealthier Americans this year—or not. Legally wed same sex couples, meanwhile, may find the true meaning of the "marriage penalty."
One thing is for certain: All taxpayers will have a harder time taking medical deductions.
Usually, I don't hearken to computer games, at least not since my fellow elementary school classmates and myself used to squabble over who got to shoot at pixilated buffalo and deer in The Oregon Trail game during our allotted computer time. Facebook frolics such as Farmville are beyond me, considering that if I actually wanted to bail hay and milk cows, I know several people whose doors I could just knock on as opposed to clicking a mouse.
After both Oregon and Oregon State looked about as interested in playing football last Saturday as I do in putting together a yearly business budget and participating in the hackneyed and cliché Christmas shopping bacchanal, I thought it would be a great idea to test your Northwest Rivalry Recollection this week.
This week and last week are rife with annual college football rivalry games from Left Coast to Right. Most of them I have heard some working AARP knowledge of.
Homer is one of those loveable hound dogs. He's very young, so this guy likes to jump and play. Homer is good with other dogs. He is possibly a mix of Beagle Harrier and Walker Hound.
Terri (not her real name) is a cute little girl. She is probably a Wire-Haired Terrier mix. She weighs only 18 pounds. She was found, lost.
Proof that it really is the little things in life:
That magical moment when you are cleaning out your car, thinking how nice a snack would be at that moment, when all of a sudden, "Hey, is that gator jerky under the passenger seat?"
Trust in providence and it shall provide!
Lessons learned the hard way:
It turns out The Lonely Goatherd from The Sound of Music is not a sexy song to spontaneously sing in public. Especially the "Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee ho" part. People tend to think you are a non-English speaker with Tourette syndrome, or that you are in need of a Riccola.

The civil engineering program, which is ABET accredited, can be completed in four years with or without an optional cooperative education experience.
The Civil Engineering program provides:
- A basis in the natural and engineering sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences.

Outstanding addition to my Ruger
Very good product, well made have one on my Rem. 700 sps tact. thought i would try one on my Ruger.
Like the stock. However, it has no stock escutcheon like the standard Ruger stocks and if you use an aftermarket allen head receiver screw you pull the screw into the plastic. Had to drill out original socket hole and put in a Ruger escutcheon. Now it works like a champ. Also, stock has almost no wiggle at the adjustable butt piece. Very good.
Solid build and easy installation.
Easy to install on my Ruger 10/22

Chad Smith Challenges Will Ferrell to a Drum Battle
By Hayley St. John | Friday, February 7, 2014
Photo: Facebook
You really didn't think Will Ferrell could get away with mentioning Chad Smith during his "Ask Me anything" session without some action, did ya? Ohh yes, it's on!!
Music News provided by Pulse
For years now, people have pointed out that Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and actor Will Ferrell look alike, but according to Diffuser, the two men have taken their resemblance to a whole new level. In a recent Reddit "Ask Me Anything" session, Ferrell said that he was well aware of the resemblance -- and admitted something else.
Ferrell revealed, "It has been acknowledged many times that myself and Chad Smith, drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, share a resemblance to each other. A lot of people think that it's me playing for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But that would be an insult to Chad Smith. The truth of the matter is there is no Will Ferrell. Only Chad Smith."
- Ferrell re-confirmed the "truth" in a brief Instagram video, but the "real" Chad Smith wasn't buying it. He posted his own clip on Instagram in which he challenged Ferrell to a drum battle.
- Smith warned, "Stop impersonating me. Drum battle, me and you. I've seen your skills, you don't got 'em. Let's go. Golden cowbell -- winner."
- Smith told Rolling Stone a while back that people have stopped him on the street because they believe he is Ferrell. He explained, "A lot of the time it's easier to just agree with them and take the picture and they go away."
- Smith also recalled the first time he met Ferrell, at a premiere, where the actor himself remarked on the resemblance. Smith recalled, "Will turns around. He looks me up and down and says, 'You're very handsome,' and walks away. Totally deadpan. I was like, 'You're funny. You're funny.'"
- The Chili Peppers just played at the Super Bowl last weekend and are about to start work on their next album.
- Will Ferrell -- or it Chad Smith? -- has a starring role in The Lego Movie, which opens Friday (February 7th) in theaters.

What Sport Brands and Handbags Have in Common
Tyler is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Sometimes there are companies that no one expects to succeed, and they blow everyone away with phenomenal success. Often, just the opposite happens. There are a few companies that appear to be in a position to have great success in 2012, but there is good reason to be optimistic. From sport brands to handbag manufacturers, there are a number of companies to keep your eye on.
Nike (NYSE: NKE) has performed well recently. They increased dividends by 7%, and shareholders even experienced a 2-for-1 stock split. Yes, the company has slowed down in China and has experienced slightly lower margins, but expect those to rebound. With a 10% increase in revenues last quarter, there is obviously still a demand for the brand. Although the stock only increased 5% last year, it surged close to 13% in the past three months. Despite a fairly low FCF yield of 4.1%, this still appears to be a company worth running after.
If energy is running low for Nike, investors might want to re-energize with Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX). With a stock that rose nearly 16% in the past year, there is still room for investors to squeeze in. By 2018, the company plans on opening an additional 1,500 stores in the US. This goes without mentioning the massive international markets in countries like China and India. With the recent acquisitions of Evolution Fresh and La Boulange there is ample opportunity for same-store sales to increase. Though the stock is not cheap (FCF yield of 2.2%), it appears to be even more delicious than the products the company sells.
We've covered sports and drinks, now we need to look at food. Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFM) is growing in new areas and in established areas (8.7% increase in same-store sales). With management believing the company can triple in size, investors see another stock with room to grow. One advantage Whole Foods has is its advantage with gluten-free items. With ten consecutive years of revenue increases, it is obvious that this company is expanding, despite competitors such as Wal-Mart and Kroger. Whole Foods might not be what people want to eat while watching a Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) movie, but for dinner afterward, it will suffice.
Disney recently acquired Lucasfilm (the company that made Star Wars) which should bode well for Disney. With 2009 being the only year since 2003 that Disney's revenues have declined, they have a good track record of growth. With a 6.3% increase in capital expenditures, it doesn't appear as though they plan to stop growing. With growing revenues, plans for the future, new acquisitions, and a 25% increase in annual dividends, investors should be on the edge of their seats - and the stock increased 33% last year.
Most women prefer to look classy in public places - and most married men know the amount of time and money this process requires. Coach (NYSE: COH) was founded in 1941, and is currently sold in 1,830 outlet and department stores in twenty countries. Like Whole Foods, Coach has experienced ten consecutive years of revenue increases, with a total increase of 500%. Although Wall Street seems to think the company is in danger with new companies starting up, Coach is increasing sales earnings globally. Though its stock decreased 3.8% in 2012, its FCF yield is 5.6%. Although there is stiff competition, the market for upscale handbags might be bigger than it appears.
data by YCharts
The Bottom Line...
There are good companies in every industry, but these companies stand apart. Companies like Whole Foods and Starbucks are expected to open many new stores in the near future. Disney has acquired new partners in business, and there is a bigger market for handbags than some may think. Other stores like Nike have increased same-store sales dramatically. Whatever the case may be, these five companies are worth looking at very closely. No matter your hobbies, interests, or activities there is a company for you. Don't miss out on the opportunity that they have ceased.

Topic - Buying a van/camper
henwardian - on 03 Jan 2013
Hi. I'm planning to buy a van/camper in a few months time with the intent to make a climbing tour around Europe and perhaps a little further too.
Ideally I'd like to get something for about Ł3500 maximum but I'm unsure whether to buy a 2nd hand van and do a conversion myself or buy a camper straight off. Was wondering what other people out there thought and what their experiences were?
More details:
If I buy a van, maximum would need to be a bit under Ł3000 so I could buy conversion materials.
I'm not a DIY wizard but I know basically what I am doing and have access to lots of tools.
I am looking for a vehicle that will last fairly well, run reliably and get a good milage.
Bed should fold out to give space for 2 people.
Lastly, I am very tall so the bed really needs to be 220cm minimum.

I've been lurking the forums for a while so I finally decided to start a sketchbook today. I haven't really been serious about drawing, so I'm posting a sketchbook to change that and get myself motivated.

oops, forgot to update...anyway heres some studies from loomis, bridgeman, structure of man, and hands and eyes tutorial from youtube, I didn't finish them though.
Last edited by Leo_7; July 1st, 2011 at 11:32 AM.
way to get serious and start a sketchbook!, i recently did the same.
nice job on those studies, they will be so helpful if you keep them up. I've been drawing for years now but never worked on figure studies and my lack of ability to draw the human figure from memory shows my lack of focus in that area. So keep up those studies and a focus or goal to your practice.
it looks like you're off to a good start with ur SB
check mine out if u want, i gotta post the link to my profile
metalocolypse thanks for checking out my sketchbook, and i definitely need to draw more studies.

good start kepp up the studies
Looks like you've got a good start, just keep up the studies and everything else will work out! I just started my sketchbook today and I think this is a good way to grow as an artist. To be able to get feedback and share tips and tricks, it's just awesome. Anyhow, keep up the good job and check out my sketchbook if you want.
Thanks for the replies even though I have not updated my sketchbook in a long time. I haven't been drawing much since then either, but now I'll try to draw more and update my sketchbook everyday from now on
Heres some pages I did today,30 sec gestures from pose maniacs.com, a still life,and some free hand perspective drawings (pen)...
Keep it up. You will progress rapidly if you continue to do so, and from the looks of it, you're already great at drawing simple shapes. Moar studies!
Keep up the studies. I always suggest checking out your local interwebs for some Bridgman and Loomis studies/books on anatomy if you want to go for the human form.
Also, there's tons of books on perspective. Your boxes are kinda lopsided in spots. Keep working on it
You'll get there, with hard work

"Life itself is your teacher, and you are in a state of constant learning." -Bruce Lee
Cool beans leo,
I'm just gonna echo everyone else - more studies! You're doing great so far, stick with bridgman, loomis and life and you'll be awesome. Just keep drawing, explore everything and think about what you're doing. Maybe try some self portraits, draw some pets, make a comic - just draw!
Good luck, keep it up.
Thanks for the visit. Good studies, keep it up. Just one thing, when you found the shape you were searching for (with light searching lines) then go over it with bolder, heavier, confident lines and reinforce the good lines that you have found.
Yes the searching line is that missing you and your shapes are far from perfect. Your hand is still unsure - try to draw for yourself simple shapes but fast don't take much time just to get the shape with many lines not just one.
And keep practise the anatomy - not only from books but from real models - quick sketches and atc...
Thx for the visit Shapes looking good but some of them are very hard to see. Either adjust your scanner or be more bold with your lines when you think you have found the good shape
hey there leo
good work with your studies so far
i think it would be really helpful to just practice your lines
like just the lines themselves
practice drawing straight lines.. bold striaght quick lines from the elbow
also practice drawing bendy doodle lines, making interesting shapes (even if abstract) but keeping the line smooth and non-jiggly. i think this will help a lot because the main weakness i see right now is your lines are trembly and look weak
hope this helps

What to do with the water?
What are you supposed to do with all those bottles of water from the pinata!?
Answer from: the curious
Let your egg baby eat it but it doesn't fill it up either :-)

The big salary North
Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory's administration is paying one of the young
Republicans who worked on his election campaign last year outpaces what
private employers pay for similar work.
The News & Observer reports that the $85,000 paid to top
state Department of Health and Human Services spokesman Ricky Diaz
exceeds the $56,000 salary a PR Week survey this year found as the
industry average for professionals with less than five years experience.
Diaz worked as McCrory's campaign press secretary last year and for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's campaign before that.
24-year-old Diaz is making much more than someone with his experience
would earn at a private company, said Rick French, CEO of the
Raleigh-based public relations firm French West Vaughan. Most PR workers
at that age are earning between $35,000 to $45,000 a year, he said.
spokeswoman Kim Genardo said it is not fair to compare Diaz' salary
with other PR jobs because he has much more responsibility, including
managing a staff.
Matthew McKillip, also 24, is paid $87,500
annually as the chief policy adviser to DHHS Secretary Aldona Wos. He
has an English degree and spent 11 months as a policy research assistant
at the American Enterprise Institute before joining Gov. Pat McCrory's
campaign as policy and research coordinator.
Diaz and McKillip each received a more than 35 percent raise at a time when most other state employees, like public school teachers, received no raise at all in the state's new two-year budget.
McCrory defended their raises, saying they came as a result of promotions within the department.
"[Diaz] was in my office as a communications person, working as a lower level communications person in the governor's office," McCrory told WNCN's Penn Holderness. "My Health and Human Services Secretary [Aldona Wos] was so impressed with him, she wanted him to move to Health and Human Services and head up that whole process."
According to his public LinkedIn profile, Diaz graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in economics and East Asian studies.
N.C. FAST IT Director Anthony Vellucci also received a pay raise of more than $23,000 in June, bringing his annual salary to $168,000.
State records show Vellucci's raise was not the result of a promotion; rather, it's classified as a "retention adjustment."
Other high-level staffers at DHHS have recently taken in big raises as well. For example, 35-year-old Jason Simmons, a senior planner, took in a $22,500 pay raise in April, bringing his salary to $62,500.Those raises took place after a March 8 memo McCrory sent to state agencies, directing them to reign in salaries due to major Medicaid cost overruns.

Jim Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: DPS MAS GILD GRPN TRV PIR (Update 1)
Check out Jim Cramer's latest trading recommendations on "Action Alerts Plus".
(Updates from 10:42 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" Thursday.
Goldman Sachs downgraded Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS) to sell from neutral. Cramer thought the stock would have done better thanks to its new product lines. DPS fell nearly 1% to $45.79.
Cramer said Masco (MAS) was red-hot going into yesterday's FOMC announcement, and the stock's price action predicted a no-tapering outcome. MAS fell nearly 1% to $22.23.Gilead Sciences (GILD) "has been one of the remarkable ones," and will continue to go higher because of its hepatitis C treatment, Cramer said. GILD was flat at $64.32. Cramer thinks it's "still not too late to buy" Groupon (GRPN). He likes its new management and better business model. GRPN jumped 9% to $12.59. Travelers Company (TRV) was upgraded by FBR Capital Markets. Cramer added that Jay Fishman, the CEO, has been doing a terrific job. TRV rose 1.2% to $86.90. Cramer didn't understand why Pier 1 Imports (PIR) missed on its recent earnings report. He added that this could be a buying opportunity for a fabulous company. PIR dropped 13.9% to $20.33.
