Welcome to the State of Snow, our monthly recap of the snowboard industry as seen by photographer Sean Kerrick Sullivan. Getting right to it…
Casey Nelson snaps an ollie in one of the driest Decembers I can remember. Its a shock to some and depressing to others but theres little you can do but go out and see what kind of fun you can find anyways. Everybody has been so confined the parks now that when the snow does fall, the riding we're going to see is going to be nuts.
I think December might be remembered as month when Cobra Dogs took over. With next to no snowfall in Park City, the holiday crowds, and non-stop sunshine, the terrain park and beginner areas of the mountain see TONS of traffic, and the once infamous is becoming famous. Manager Matty Mo estimates anywhere from seven to nine thousand weiners flew off the shelves this past month.
Kazu Kokubo is making moves. Last season he put down an opening video part in Burton's new movie "Standing Sideways", and started this season out by joining the Park City All Stars roster, followed by a Snowboarder Magazine cover AND interview in their September 2011 issue, was then picked up by Skullcandy, which was followed with a Pro Spotlight in the newest issue of Transworld. Damn.
Nick Fuca and Grahm Banks dew the logical thing to do @ night in Breckenridge during the Dew Tour: party. With injuries and falls keeping them out of the finals, that freed up their evening to, well, rage. They have a new project in the works with TWS, that's going to feature some serious shit from their crew including: Ross Baker, Dylan Bidez, Brennen Swanson, Billy Wandling, and Broc Waring.
Parker Duke is hustlin, slangin Cobra Dogs @ PC, but is he filming for the Absinthe movie or is he filming for the Keep the Change movie? Either way its gonna be dope. In related news, Keep the Change has reportedly been brought into the VG fam, and is aiming at more of an 'am focused' movie that will feature the likes of Parker Worthen, Dylan Dragotta, Mike Rav, Johnny O'Conner, Brandon Hobush, Spencer Schubert, and Johnny Brady.
Deadlung has been here there and every where. Ultra elusive, especially with the lack of snow, your best bet is to catch his fine i-phone photography on Instagram, @deadlung.
Young Brady Larson has been quietly killing it for a while now, spending the last few winters in high school. Fresh out, all he does now is shred, rain, sleet, snow, or no snow, he's out there doing his thing, and will more than likely lock down his first part in FODT's next movie if it ever decides to snow in an American city.
Cooper Hoffmeister might just be having the best winter of his life. His two year old son Caden has 7 days of riding under his belt, is already cracking little ollies, and laps the magic carpet at The Canyons as much as humanly possible for a two year old. Anybody who had parents who were rad enough to introduce shredding into their lives is eternally grateful, and that first season is sure to be a memorable one. "We only take him out on nice warm and sunny days and so far every experience he's had on the hill has been positive," says Cooper. "He basically gets as low as he can and just cruises while I chase after him, he's getting his board on the heel edge and learning to slow himself down a bit." Caden's gear also shows how far snowboard technology has came since the 70's and 80's. Cooper breaks it down, "His board is an 80. 80 centermeters! Thats like a skateboard but its, and his boots are dope too. They are boa's and after we get him in his snow pants he just jumps in the boots, locks down the dial, and tightens the boots on his own." Damn, parents take note, another reason not to start your kid off skiing. Just sayin.
Another Brighton Digger done good, Parker Worthen just added Stepchild to his growing list of sponsors which includes Etnies, Thirty Two, Skullcandy and Oakley. With an opener in the last Keep the Change movie and a book full of new spots in Utah for the next storm, I think Parker is going to drop some fire.
With every resort in Tahoe aside from Boreal threatening to shut down in a matter of weeks if they dont get some snow, Johnny Lazz remains calm. Crusing in Colorado with Volcom teammate Dylan Alito and Volcom filmer Pat Barazza while on their mission to destroy everthing filming for the new Volcom movie, one can only hope that Lazz can use his new found hippy healthy lifestyle to give him the power to lay down a part for the People movie and the Volcom movie….....
Stevie Bell has proclaimed himself as a FIFA soccer addict, and this sequence of him kicking this snow, obviously out of habit, is enough for me to believe him. This hilarious dude's attitude wouldn't change if it snowed one inch or one hundred, check his new interview series "Black Friday" which drops weekly on his website StevieBell.com
Snowboarder Magazine held an art show @ Spedelli's Pizza in SLC featuring the art of their Special Projects Design Director Big Mike Gonsalves. Snowboarders love their technology, even if they dont know how to use it, evidenced here as Big Miike attempts to rings up Scott Stevens on his iPhone. Stevens was fresh back from Alaska where he finished his X Games "Real Snow" video part. With the lack of snow in the lower 48, expect the "Real Snow" battle to get real wild, as most of the riders found themselves bumping shoulders in streets of AK while out shooting.
Brandon Hammid has a growing reputation as one of the strongest guys in snowboarding, shield you eyes if he takes his shirt off because his muscles have muscles and its almost disgusting. More than likely he grew those muscles while helping Ted Borland, Alex Andrews, and Sean Black build the Bone Zone over the summer, because all those log jibs didn't just build themselves. Check the www / youtube for "Bone Zone the Movie" and see for yourself.

Former UFC lightweight contender Clay Guida will now try his hand at featherweight starting with his next fight inside the Octagon. Guida has long commented about being one of the smallest fighters competing at 155 pounds, but now he's made the decision to move down a weight class.
Guida's management team at VFD Sports Marketing made the announcement on Friday.
"The Carpenter is going to explore a new job site at the 145-pound division in the new year. I plan on making a run at the foreman or superintendent position right out of the gates. I hope you guys packed a lunch," said Guida.
"It will be nice to finally be one of the bigger guys in the cage. I don't cut weight at 155, and making 145 will be no problem for me. My fans will get to see The Dude put some royal beatings on everyone in the division. I will not be satisfied until the featherweight belt is mine."
More MMA
Guida has faced the stiffest competition the lightweight division has thrown at him over the years, and he's always been a top ten contender despite giving up size to the majority of his opponents.
Now Guida will enter the fray at 145 pounds and looks to make an immediate impact with his first fight kicking off in 2013.
Stay tuned to MMAWeekly.com for all your UFC news and updates.
After his last fight- I don't think anyone wants to see him fight.
Hope he is only ever on the undercard so I don't have to pay to see that crap again!
i'd like to know what the fighters weigh on their way into the octagon, it seems bigger fighters are cutting weight into the smaller classes, as everyone's fighting skills are getting more even, maybe size does matter.
He will seethe same results at 145 lbs…gatekeeper and just out of contender status. He might just get a shot at Aldo though since Aldo just runs right over anyone they put in front of him so the list of contenders has really narrowed in the Featherweight division. I can't stand hearing how Guida's a "cardio machine" and has a wild style of fighting…blah, blah, blah…he is not an exciting fighter! He basically takes people down and ground and pounds with these ridiculous little multiple punches that probably hurt his fist more than his opponent. He holds opponents down for 3 rounds and just transitions positions. His striking is horrendous.
Agreed. I couldn't disagree more when I hear that "wild-style" bullsh*t. Tank Abbot, that was a wild style, not bobbing and weaving with a few rabbit punches. Anyone who claims to have a wild style, the fight should never last more than a round, win or lose.
Good Luck from Chicago Clay!
The guy trains hard to condition and always brings the fight give him a break. The fight with Maynard was 100% game plan and he stuck with it. He didn't get the win so nobody should really complain, it's not like he beat Maynard. You learn from every fight. I don't know if ten pounds is going to make a big difference for him but he does have a better chance at featherweight. That division isn't stacked. I wouldn't mind him and Edgar going at it. As long as the come forward Guida comes to fight.
He might train hard but you apparently havent watched his recent fights because he sure hasnt brought the fight. Not saying a fighter has to be a finisher every time but sure in the hell not run. Clay's definitely a runner. A fight with Edgar would be even more boring. Running isnt fighting.

What Ralph Nader Gets Wrong About Big Pharma
It's too bad that Nader went down the "pharmascold" path when discussing the industry. It would have been more refreshing, and informative, if he discussed that ALL drugs have side-effects and that the risk-benefit profile of a drug needs to be considered by both patients and physicians before taking anything.

Baby-Faced Boy Becomes a Father at 13
As if the craziness of the octuplets wasn't bad enough, now comes news that a 13-year-old boy has become a father. What is this world coming to?!?
Baby-faced Alfie Patten may be 13 years old, but he looks like he's 8 -- and just a few days ago, he became a first-time father. His much larger 15-year-old girlfriend, Chantelle Steadman, just gave birth to their 7 lb. 3 oz. bouncing baby girl, Maisie Roxanne, reports the UK's Sun newspaper.
Alfie and Chantelle had a one-time sexual encounter when Alfie was 12. What was Alfie's reaction when he found out Chantelle was pregnant? "I thought it would be good to have a baby," said Alfie in a prepubescent voice that has yet to break.
Neither Alfie nor his "girlfriend" seem to have the remotest clue about how having a child at such a young age might affect the rest of their lives. And Alfie, who doesn't even get an allowance yet, admits that he doesn't even know how much diapers cost, but says, "I think it's a lot."
Alfie, who is just 4 feet tall, revealed how scared he was to tell his mother about his impending fatherhood. "When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble," he recalls. "We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react. I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it."
Alfie's father Dennis admits he doesn't think that his son really understands the enormity of his situation -- but says Alfie seems desperate to be a devoted and responsible father. Dennis says that Alfie wanted to be the first to hold Maisie after the hospital birth. He tenderly kisses the baby and gives her a bottle. "He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his Playstation," Dennis says. "But he has been at the hospital every day."
Maisie was conceived after Chantelle and Alfie -- just 12 at the time -- had a single night of unprotected sex. They found out about the baby when Chantelle was 12 weeks pregnant. The young couple kept it a secret until six weeks later when Chantelle's mother Penny, 38, became suspicious about Chantelle's weight gain and confronted her.
"We didn't think we would need help from our parents," says Chantelle. "You don't really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you."
But Penny figured out what was going on after buying Chantelle a T-shirt that revealed her swelling tum.
Chantelle admits she and Alfie -- who are both being supported by their parents -- will probably be accused of being grossly irresponsible. "We know we made a mistake, but I wouldn't change it now," she says. "We will be good loving parents.
"I have started a church course and I am going to work helping other young mums," Chantelle says. Even though they're only teens dating, Chantelle says, "I'll be a great mother and Alfie will be a great dad."
What do you think about this unbelievable story?
this is insane!! i cant belive that a 13 year old kid can have a baby.. i had no idea that he could even thik about sex!! things are so over rated in this world its not funny!!
i just hope that they have a good life and look towards jesus..
god bless
I don't know why but I just found myself smiling :) I am so happy for the both of them. They were responsible enough to let the baby come into this world without attempting to abort it. This is so emotional. I dreamed about myself been pregnant and gave birth to a daughter and I felt so happy like I was in heaven. When I woke up early this morning, I prayed for them. I hope they're doing fine with their family and their little angel, Maisie… :) ^_^
all of thAT IS BAD HAPPEN AND YOU ARE STILL YOUNG AND HAVE A BABY.GIVE THE BABY THOSE WHO DONT HAVE AND FILLED HIS/AND HER ARMS .AND U R JUST A CUTE BOY.AND OUNG BOY
"Why is a 13 year old thinking of sex? 1) Its everywhere. Its in tv ads, in movies. 2) Sexual abuse. If someone is abused this way at a young age, then what's the big deal to do it with others?
- why?
Posted 02/13/09 05:56 PM"
The 13 year old boy was thinking of sex because "surprisingly", most 13-year-olds have started puberty! Which means they are sexually mature and have sexual urges (whether they should act on those urges is another matter). Come on people. This crap is not rocket science. These are basic facts of nature.
The main problem with people now å days is they don't know to mind their own business. You have to think about their influences. Parents have an impact, but children are Unfortunately more exposed to TV and other children experiences, and embellishments. Its life, struggles exist. If it was so easy then there wouldn't be å reason for living. If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the government and the corporations that are stealing your hard earned money. Fight against the elite, instead of these mothers.
omg! he looks like a 6year old this is a crazy story!
How can you give kids that much free time… boy - no sports, no afterschool projects.. girl- no cheerleading, no job. Ok since parents no longer have parental right to consent to "children having babies" then they both need jobs and one would have to do night school!
omg, im still confused, wut is an 15yr old duin wit a 13yr old dat look lyk an 8yr old, i'm 15 n would never ever go with some one younger than me, but plp have differ opinions..
this story is simply amazing! i was astonished!
i,m so suprise at kid this days they think they are grown up cos of their manner of dressing but still idon,t believe a 13 years old can father a child.that awful what was the 15yr old thinking when she was sleeping with her younger brother cos i think she is older enough to be a big sister to him. i dvise the parent to carry out a DNA test cos the kid boy might not understand what is really going
All the people who post there comments… instead of talking bad things to them..mind your own business.. dont blame anyone. all you have to do is KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHOT.
Be pitty to the baby because your talking bad things to there parents.
Stop the world - I want to get off!! This story is ridiculous. If it's true, the baby should be put up for adoption. If it's not, there's still that woman who, already having 6 kids, just delivered 8. I always thought invitro was very expensive - did she pay for that with welfare money??
you r a fagget it
jezz…thats scary..what are you going to do for school???
Iam sure during parents sex they might permit thier child to see practicals……
Otherwise how can he..
this is just really disgusting
Can I be the god mother
They are lucky yhey have eachother I am 15 an I am not even allowed to date
That lil boy is crazy
Give him some support thou
Believe it or not I wasn't shocked by this. Sickend though. I live in the UK and every day I walk through town I see girls that look 13, 14, 15 pushing baby buggies. So many parents here have abdicated responsibility of these teens. "You can't control them when there 15." Is all I hear. I have a 21,17, and oops 10 year old. There are no grandchildren, drug addicts, or drunks in our house. I do have one that doesn't like to do his homework. Parents should be made responsible for the children's mistakes legally or financially. Maybe then they can try to "control" them.

Yum... this recipe was very easy and so delicious! I didn't use a whole 7lb leg... just a 2 1/2lb portion and reduced the cooking time by a couple hours (20 mins @ 400, 20 mins @ 350, 4 hrs @ 250) and it came out beautifully. So tender and soft! The sauce is surprisingly thick after its blended and very gravy like. We served it over mashed potatoes and skipped the parsley. We will definitely make this again!

This was just terrific!! Guests were in from out of town so I prepared it in the a.m. and it baked while we golfed. What a fantastic and impressive meal we had at the end of our day. Served with Israeli couscous and oven baked asparagus. Easy and tasty.

I used a 7 lb bone in leg of goat, added celery, a whole head of garlic, and didn't add the last cup of coffee or strain the sauce (which was delicious). Too good!

DOSWELL, Va. (AP)- A ceremony has been held to remember a state trooper who died while directing traffic at the State Fair of Virginia.
More than 70 law enforcement officers and state and local officials attended a ceremony Thursday for Andrew D. Fox at The Meadow Event Park in Caroline County.
Two plaques bearing his name will be mounted at the park, one outside the public safety operations center and another inside the building.
The 27-year-old Fox died Oct. 5, 2012, when he was struck by an SUV while on special assignment at the State Fair.
Fox joined the state police in 2006 and had been with the Wytheville division at the time of his death.

Growing Up with Asthma
Living with Asthma
Children with asthma do not have to live sheltered lives. Zak plays soccer, baseball, basketball, and golf. He also roller blades, skateboards, and "pretty much loves every sport," according to his mother. In the summer he attends College for Kids at a local community college, and he sings in his school's honor choir.
Zak isn't shy about telling people he has asthma. His friends know what to do if he stops mid-play and says he needs his inhaler. They run to his backpack, bring him his inhaler, then hold up one finger at a time after Zak takes a puff. When they get to ten, Zak releases his breath and begins to relax, taking in more and more air until he's back to normal.
Not all asthmatic children can endure outdoor sports because exercise and allergies may trigger an attack, even if they are on a daily double dose of controller medication. The Consortium of Children's Asthma Camps hosts summer camps to allow high-risk children a chance to enjoy a camp in a safe environment. Specialists on staff assist with medications and emergencies. For information on how to apply for a Children's Asthma Camp near you, visit www.asthmacamps.org.
Dr. Neaville advises parents to let children be themselves, and that's exactly what the Kendricks have done. Zak has learned to deal with his asthma as a part of everyday life. "At first I worried he wouldn't be able to do all the things boys do," Debi says. "But he's accomplished everything he's attempted pretty well, I think. Of course, I wish he didn't have asthma. It would make all our lives much easier. But the older he gets, I see him handle it more himself, and with confidence."
Through education and treatment, asthmatic children—just like Zak—are living, breathing examples of courage and confidence.
For More Information
Kids can learn about asthma by visiting www.asthma.org.uk/kidszone. Travel inside the body to find out how asthma looks beneath the skin. Play educational games like "Surfin' the Airways," "Trigger Snappy," and "Mucus Mansion." Check your MDI technique with animated instructions. Posting questions on the message board can be fun, too!

Supplying all major American Aircraft Propellers- McCauley- Hartzell-Sensenich Metal-Sensenich Wood
Propeller Overhaul
The Propeller Manufacturer provides guidelines for the overhaul of aircraft propellers by calendar months, or in-flight hours whichever occurs first. While Part 91 aircraft are advised to complete an overhaul, Part 135 aircraft are required to overhaul their propellers.
Hartzell used propellers (built before 1997) have a recommended TBO of 5 years or 2,000 flight hours. TBOs for all Hartzell Props can be found in Hartzell Service Letter 61Y at the link below:
McCauley's TBOs are listed at the following link:
Sensenich released the following bulletin regarding its metal propellers:
Overview of a Aircraft Propeller Overhaul
The airplane propeller is visually inspected to determine if the propeller qualifies for an overhaul. Obvious reasons that an airplane propeller would NOT qualify for an overhaul would include ground strikes or severe corrosion. (On occasion a PropellerMan technician may suggest that you invest the small fee to have your propeller visually inspected to determine if your propeller will likely make overhaul for trade or resale purposes) If the airplane propeller passes a visual inspection, the propeller will be disassembled and the parts will be cleaned.(picture left)
As prescribed by the propeller overhaul manual for each specific prop, blades and various other reusable components are measured. As pictured in the photo to the right, the width, the thickness and the length of the propeller blades are measured at specific stations or distances from the butt of the blade. Measurements are taken on other components as well. The blade measurements and other measurement inspections become part of the work order folder.
During a propeller overhaul, the finish is stripped off the aluminum and steel components - generally through sandblasting. The aluminum parts are then etched with a caustic solution and inspected by magnetic particle, eddy current and using an ultraviolet light or dye penetrant system as illustrated in the photo to the right.
The airplane propeller will then be reassembled in accordance with the overhaul manual and set to the specified torque values and blade angle settings. The overhaul manual for each manufacturer has an established list of parts that must be replaced at each overhaul that includes seals and o-rings, mounting studs and nuts, blade ball and needle bearings and all hardware. All specifics regarding the replacement of parts become a permanent part of the work order folder. Of course A.D. notes, Service Bulletins and Service Letters are checked and complied with as required.
Finally, the airplane propeller is lubricated and the prop is statically balanced (see photo to the left). Once the propeller is mounted on the aircraft and while the propeller is running, a dynamic balance should be performed (see photo to the right).

It could be said that the Jura are Switzerland's unknown mountains. Unlike their dramatic neighbours, the Alps, and considerably lower in altitude, (their highest Swiss summit, Mont Tendre, is 1,679m) they long ago traded their glaciers and permanent fields of snow in favour of pastureland and forest. Now they run in parallel crests of green hill and scooped valley in a long arc down the western rim of the country to form a natural frontier with France. Indeed, the Jura belongs as much to France as it does to Switzerland, and long after the white cross has ceased to fly over isolated farms, the Jura continues as a ridge of limestone above French valleys and French villages with Mont Blanc saluting from afar.
This great rectangle of hills contains a lush series of landscapes; friendly, welcoming, pastoral. There are wild flowers in abundance, rich meadows, dense forests, glorious beechwoods. And views off to the Alps, beyond the levels of the Mittelland.
Across these hills there's a long-distance walking route that explores the very best of the Swiss Jura; the Jurahohenweg to German-speaking Swiss, Chemin des Cretes du Jura in French. To English speaking hill walkers it is the Jura High Route.
The Jura High Route (JHR) is 299 kilometres long, stretching from Dielsdorf, outside Zurich, to Borex, a small village to the north of Geneva. Along the way it passes over the highest summits of the Swiss Jura. (Mont Tendre, La Dole, Chasseral, each over 1,600 metres.) it traverses meadowland and forest and visits isolated farms, secluded villages locked in a world of their own, historic small towns, ruined castles. There are stretches of riverside walking, and belvedere paths that trace the very crest of the ridge with huge views to embrace an ever-varies panorama. There are time-moulded pastures, soft under foot, and limestone terraces smoothed by wind and rain and ice-sheets that once bore down from the Alps. For much of the route the hills and their valleys are virtually empty of people. There's an aura of solitude that can rarely be experienced among the higher Alps where the paths are too often crowded.
Here in the Jura it is possible to take a walk in the sky undisturbed by the crowds.
The Jura and its High Route offer an unhurried sense of calm, a pedestrian adventure in a world of green.

Whatâs it about?
Two elderly Parisians whose comfortable bourgeois retirement is torn apart when one of them succumbs to the ravages of old age.
Whyâs it nominated?
Every now and then a European release breaks out of the foreign film ghetto and claims a place among the big boys in the best picture category. Michael Hanekeâs unflinching look at dementia and devotion is the latest to do so, its five nods a testament to his handling of difficult subject matter and the performances of Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, his veteran French leads.
What are its chances?
Amour is certain to win the foreign language film Oscar and could scoop Haneke another award for its screenplay. If you have a spare note or two you donât know what to do with, you could do worse than having a punt on 85-year-old Riva, the oldest woman ever to be nominated in the best actress category.

So wanted to give an update from my first week of working out. I made it to the gym monday - friday and again today. I have lost 8lbs my first week. I am proud of my improvements but know I have a long way to go. Motivated
So I saw Underworld Awakening the other night and I was pleasantly surprised. I mean I go to these type of films to just sit back turn the brain off and enjoy some entertainment. I am not huge on all of these vampire or werewolf films, but these films have always been an exception. Very action packed from start to finish though it was a bit short. Without spoiling anything it is left open for another one which i dont know how I feel about. I love movies but I sometimes think so many sequels can get a bit much. Overall I left the film happy thinking it was better then the other underworld films.
I would give it a 7.5 out of 10 maybe an 8

I have tried many times to stay on a good diet and workout plan and have failed. But there is no more excuses. Today I start my workout plan and dieting correctly. I weigh in at 211 which is not a huge number as im 6'1 but I would like to get to 185lbs. I just want to be able to run or do things without getting tired. So today is the day I make that change. I will be making updates as I do things workout plans and things dedicated towards positive thought, motivation, fitness, and good health.

Little Boxes by Joelle Aeschlimann
These music boxes are specifically designed to interact with iPads to create a variety of animations and melodies. Each music box reacts in a different way with the tablet to reveal it's own universe where the visuals and sounds are controlled by the rotation of the crank. This is a beautifully designed concept which merges both the physical and digital world together, and you watch their interactions play out before your eyes. This is the type of product that makes me want to purchase an iPad.

ST. LOUIS (WDRB) – This is what the University of Kentucky basketball team wanted – a crack at an unbeaten season.
Of course, it was supposed to be their unbeaten season, not the 40-0 season that unbeaten Wichita State is chasing. But that doesn't matter any more. It's the NCAA Tournament. This unbeaten season will work for The Storyline of the first weekend of the tournament.
The Wildcats get Wichita State Sunday at 2:45 p.m. (EDT) in the third round of the Midwest Regional at the Scottrade Center. Am I the only one who thinks this feels more like an Elite Eight game?
"It'll be a great matchup," said UK point guard Andrew Harrison, as he massaged a large ice pack on his bruised right elbow. "They're a great team. Like I said, it will be fun. That's what you play basketball for, for games like this."
This game against the second-ranked team in the nation, and the No. 1 seed in the region, is Kentucky's reward for punishing Kansas State, 56-49, Friday night.
It is also their chance to flush the memories of the second-place finish in the Southeastern Conference. The chance to silence the talk about the South Carolina, Arkansas and Louisiana State games.
The chance to demonstrate they're the team coach John Calipari suggested they were going to be last November, when they were ranked first, 15 spots ahead of Wichita State, in the pre-season polls.
Ken Pomeroy's computer numbers favor Wichita State by four. Jeff Sagarin's numbers call the game even. Nate Silver's 538 blog at ESPN put UK's chances of winning the game at 42 percent.
Las Vegas posted the line Saturday morning -- Wichita State is a 3 1/2-point favorite.
But if you listen to Kansas State point guard Marcus Foster and KSU coach Bruce Weber, you'll think that the Wildcats, not Wichita State, deserve to be favored.
"Athletically, I thought (UK) compared with Kansas," Foster said. "But they were much better. (Positions) one through five they are very athletic and much more physical than we thought."
Not your usual eight-seed and 10-loss team?
"Noooooo," said Weber.
I probably should add a few more oooooos to his answer. It was the longest Noooo of the tournament. It was an extremely emphatic No.
"They locked us up and D'd us up," Weber said. "You've got to give them credit. If Wichita can make some shots, I think that would help. (Kentucky's) big guys are mobile and athletic. If they guard like that, I think Kentucky proved they can play in a hard-fought, tough game."
They certainly did against Kansas State. Julius Randle was locked into beast mode, carrying the Wildcats with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Aaron Harrison was also more than solid, scoring 18.
Although Kentucky shot only 38 percent, the Wildcats controlled this game because they outrebounded KSU by a dozen. And Kansas State scored a season-low 49 points because it only made 35.8 percent of its shots.
The only warning signs were that Kentucky had 15 turnovers and eight assists. And that Andrew Harrison injured that elbow on his shooting arm late in the second half while slapping down to block a shot.
Harrison said X-rays were negative. He also said his arm was sore. Very sore.
"I'll get another arm or something," Harrison said. "I'll be all right."
Over the next two days, there will be two contests between the teams. On Saturday they will debate which one has received less respect and deserves to be the underdog in the game. Then on Sunday, they'll actually play the game for the opportunity to advance to the Sweet Sixteen in Indianapolis – and perhaps a game against Louisville.
"We still feel like we're the underdogs," Wichita State guard Tekele Cotton said. "We'll be the underdogs because people say we haven't played an elite team yet."
Evidently Cotton has not been paying attention to what the skeptics have been saying about Kentucky because elite team has been flushed from the vocabulary about Calipari's team for several weeks. Remember: the Wildcats were unranked in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll.
"I don't know what the media has been saying, but we feel like we should be the underdog," said UK guard James Young.
This is a perfect moment for Calipari. How many times has he been an underdog in an NCAA Tournament game since he's been at Kentucky?
Maybe once -- Ohio State in the 2011 East Regional. Or twice -- North Carolina in the same regional.
Wichita State has been flawless. Wichita State has the guts of a team that nearly knocked Louisville out in the Final Four last season. Wichita State gets rave reviews from the basketball insiders. They're legit. Undersized, but legit.
But Wichita State has not played an opponent that made the NCAA Tournament since Dec. 22. That was North Carolina Central. The only other NCAA teams that the Shockers have beaten are Tennessee (by nine), Saint Louis (by five) and Brigham Young (by 13).
Two UK players -- Alex Poythress and James Young -- said they had not watched Wichita State play all season. Andrew Harrison said he had only watched one half of one of the Shockers' games.
"They play really hard," Calipari said. "They have really good players. You don't go 35 or 36-0 or whatever they are without having really good players. And they have really good players. And they play hard and compete."

"Homeland" star Claire Danes and her husband, actor Hugh Dancy, are the proud new parents of a baby boy, but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy a date night! In fact, it's super important for parents to spend time together just the two of them.
Claire and her husband were spotted having dinner at the trendy Asian-inspired New York City eatery, Pounds & Ounces. Chef Ted Cippollone recently added smoothies & juices to his lunchtime menu. Smoothies are the perfect on- the go nutritious power source for busy New Yorkers.

"Smoothies besides being one of the healthiest drinks you can have, because of the natural sugar and protein; also make a great meal replacement if you're looking for a quick bite, but don't really have time to sit and have a meal. It's also a refreshing way to stay hydrated during those really hot summer months," reveals Chef Cippollone.
To ensure Pounds & Ounces' smoothies are a star attraction, Chef Chippollone developed a few tricks. "Whichever juice you decide to use be sure to have it as cold as possible. I just pour the juice in a cup full of ice and then pour the juice without the ice into the blender. Second, I add plain or flavored yogurt, it adds an additional sweetness to the smoothie and gives it that velvety texture." Chef Cippollone shares with Healthy Hollywood.

Travel to Scotland for a Romance as Magical as the Land
Submitted by Aisling McCann on June 19, 2012 - 3:48pm.
I so miss travel, but my faraway lands' fund rattles with mostly pennies these days, so I turn to the next best thing: books. I've just recently returned from the most unbelievable trip to Scotland, so exciting and adventure-filled and brilliant with the sights and sounds of Edinburgh, the Outer Hebrides, Isle of Harris, and other beautiful historic locations. The book that took me there is "Messenger's Angel," the second novel of Heather Killough-Walden's LOST ANGELS' series, and this time it is Gabriel, the former Messenger Archangel, who has located his archess after more than 2,000 years of searching. Uriel (alias Christopher Daniels) and Eleanor, from the opening book, "Avenger's Angel," have been sexily settling into married life.
In "Messenger's Angel" Gabriel Black nicely comes into his own when he meets the lovely Juliette Anderson, PhD student in archeology on a project in Scotland. He immediately recognizes her as the woman he has been dreaming about, which means he has finally found his archess. Juliette recognizes something in his black wavy hair, silver eyes and taunting smile that feels awfully familiar to her - and disturbingly irresistible. In their case, a kiss is not just a kiss. But Juliette is a sensible girl, everyone knows that, and having received mostly nothing but negative reports about Gabriel she forces him to work at winning her over.
There is so much to like about this novel, with its castles, dolmen stones, Highland magic and crashing ocean. But the characters rise up to the challenge of the land, as the stakes are raised this time. Kevin and his band of Adarians are back, stronger and more demented than ever. And of course Samuel Lambent, Samael, the filthy rich tycoon angel with a somewhat mysterious agenda involving the favored four, consistently stuns Juliette as he did Ellie, with his gorgeous looks, impeccable taste, tremendous wealth and power and cashmere charm. He remains a force to be reckoned with and often will stop at nothing. But the same can be said about Gabriel and his archangel brothers, Azrael (Death), Uriel (Vengeance), and Michael (Warrior), as well as their miraculous multitasking guardian Max Gillihan. Oh, and of course the first archess, Uriel's Ellie, who is a formidable force in many ways. The author's timing is impeccable and they consistently appear, or someone is transported to them, at just the right moment, upping the ante and the excitement. It is such delicious fun.
"Messenger's Angel" is a book that will keep you turning the pages until there are no more to turn. It has action, moments that make you stop breathing and a romance deserving of the magical, beautiful locale. As usual, Heather Killough-Walden delivers scenes so vivid, invoking all of the senses, that they remained with me long after I read them. Scotland is now at the top of my Must See list, as "Messenger's Angel," added the element of another grand story to imagine among the grassy cliffs and ancient castle ruins. This is not only a good book to read when you can't travel to Scotland, it's a great book to read when you do.

Anna Dumitriu is proposing the construction of a portable Biosafety Level 2 Microbiology Laboratory for use in art gallery settings. The purpose of the space will be to allow participatory hands-on bioart acrivities and the exhibition of artworks created using pathogenic and genetically modified bacteria. The lab will provide supervised access and practical workshops for the public and artists alike to enable them to experience a deeper understanding of the microbial world and develop a bacteriocentric view. Dumitriu has previously exhibited a number of works created using GM bacteria in her "Communicating Bacteria Dress" and pathogenic bacteria as in her MRSA Quilt (which was run as workshop at the V & A in London) or textile works including the extracted DNA of tuberculosis that have either been killed and sterilised or filmed in remote settings. In this work she seeks to enable the audience to experience what it feels like to be confronted with the intricate behaviours of living bacteria in their most sublime form.

Interview: Juno Temple gets a little out of control in 'The Brass Teapot'
This dark comedy makes us all ponder how far we'd go for an "easy" buck
What would you do if you found a magic teapot that was the answer to all of your financial woes? When a young couple (Juno Temple and Michael Angarano) find a magical brass teapot, they soon realize it's a ticket to untold riches. But there's a catch—the mysterious teapot only produces money when its owners inflict real pain on themselves…or others! What to do? Will our broke very-much-in-love couple be able to get themselves out of debt without letting the teapot wreck their lives? Ramaa Mosley's first feature is as entertaining as it is original, and will have you thinking about what you'd do in that situation long after you leave the theater! "The Brass Teapot" also stars Alexis Bledel, Alia Shawkat, Bobby Moynihan, and Debra Monk.
I've been a fan of 23-year-old Juno Temple's since she was a young girl in movies like "Notes on a Scandal" and "Atonement." While an indie favorite (three of her upcoming movies recently premiered at Sundance including Jill Soloway's "Afternoon Delight and Sebastian Silva's "Magic Magic"), she also pops up in big studio films such as "The Other Boleyn Girl," "The Dark Knight Rises," and the upcoming "Maleficent" opposite Angelina Jolie and Elle Fanning. I talked to the British actress in Los Angeles.
MSN Movies: I think I'd get into a whole lot of trouble if I found that teapot but I'm not so worried about you. I remember when we talked last year about "Little Birds," you mentioned that you just needed enough money for a pack of smokes and some occasional thrift-store shopping!
Juno Temple: (Laughs.) I still feel that way, I really do! It was a really fun exploration for me to play this character but she was more complicated for me to relate to because I've never been a girl who wanted the biggest house on the block or who felt like she was a failure because she couldn't afford to eat at the poshest restaurant in town! What I really enjoyed discovering with her was this kind of desperation she was feeling. It may have been a little shallow but I was fascinated by that and how she was reaching out for something. And then this mystical thing falls into her lap and it becomes like a drug, like this crazy addiction, and she gets lost in it.
It's such an interesting set-up, and such a great metaphor for what so many of us struggle with all the time.
Yeah, and the message is so clear: money doesn't make you happy even though we sometimes thing it might!
So, as I asked you last year, do your agents wring their hands when you sign on to these much smaller films compared to the big blockbusters that you could be doing more frequently?
You know, I do projects that I really care about. I hope I'll stand by that until the day I die! There will always be ways to pay my rent, whether I wind up having to be a waitress on the side or whatever it is, but I think it's so important for me to do things that I'm passionate about. I never want to sell my soul for something I don't believe in. Because guess what? Somebody somewhere in the world would have believed in that part and should be playing it—who am I to not allow that person that opportunity? But that's the gorgeous thing about this industry, there are a million different kinds of roles—sometimes it's not going to go your way but that always happens for a reason.
I guess the "brass teapot" in your industry is getting offered something you're not interested in at all but that comes with a huge payday. I know some actors will take those projects just to support their work in smaller films that might not make them any money.
Yes, but it's not always either/or. I've been involved with some huge studio projects that have been bloody awesome. It all starts with a great script, doesn't it? And the director is so key, you form a relationship with that man or woman who's going to guide you through that particular journey. As far as the big studio films go, of course I'm interested, of course I love being part of those, too. They're different processes. With an independent film, everything's so quick, you have to bang it out, sometimes in just a few weeks, so you have to be so prepared from the minute you walk onto that set—you may be doing six scenes a day and you have to know exactly what's going on in each one! With a studio film, in my experience, I've normally shot them over three months and I've done ten days over that time so my challenge there is to keep that character a part of me for that period of time. I think both of these are very good lessons for an actor.
When we spoke last time you were in the middle of shooting "Afternoon Delight" for Jill Soloway. Jill was a first-time director, as was Elgin James on "Little Birds" and Ramaa Mosley with this film. Is there something about working with first-time directors that you really like?
I think they're the crazy ones who are willing to give me a chance!
Yeah, right! Tell that to William Friedkin who cast you in "Killer Joe!" When you're working with a first-time director, how do you evaluate if they have what it takes?
I can't! I don't have the power to do that—I think they're taking a risk on me and I'm taking a risk on them. But it's all about an understanding and a personal connection, and it's a risk well worth taking if you love the script. It goes both ways. Maybe they cast me and then think, "Oh shit, we should have gone with that other person!"
No director has ever thought that!
Thank you! But that's part of what I like about it—that exciting feeling of "Let's collaborate! Let's fucking do it!"
Did you and Ramaa always see eye-to-eye on the character?
Ramaa's take was a little lighter than mine was at first. I saw the teapot as this addiction and a very dark thing. But Ramaa nailed it, she had such a strong vision. I think the comedy and the whimsical side of the film really keeps the audience enraptured with the story instead of just shoving it down their throats.
In a weird way, this is one of your more "normal" roles and a very sweet depiction of a marriage.
Yes, ultimately it's a love story. A story that has a bomb fall onto this relationship and they have to find each other again! Ramaa helped me find light in it and I think that's why the movie works so brilliantly. It's like a grown-up fairy tale. People can learn a lot through laughter. I love the idea of reminding people to look at what's right in front of them because otherwise they could miss some of the best things in life!
When you make these smaller indie films, do you worry about them getting out there and seen by audiences?
Sure. On "Little Birds," for example, it broke my heart that it didn't get seen by a wider audience but I'm so grateful for the relationships I made on that movie—Elgin is like family to me now. And the people I've spoken to who've seen the film have been really moved by it, I've had amazing things said to me about that film and this one as well. The truth is, I have no interest in being a "movie star," I want to be an actress. I want to be doing this, making interesting films that I'm passionate about when I'm 90!
"The Brass Teapot" is playing in select theaters. Director Ramaa Moseley will be doing Q&As following the screenings at the Sundance Sunset Theaters in Los Angeles on Friday, April 5 at 8:00 pm, Saturday, April 6 at 8:00 pm, and Sunday, April 7 at 12:30 pm and 8:00 pm.

Rate Dr. Anna D. Guanche
Dr. Anna D. Guanche's Ratings
I was impressed by Dr. Guanche's reviews and experience in my internet research before going to see her for some facial "upgrades". The consultation was difficult-it was a good thing I had questions prepared. The procedure was done well, and I like the results, but there was NO follow up whatsoever. I had to remind the staff twice in the office (and once by phone after I left) to call in a necessary prescription afterwards.I felt like the staff (in MANY ways) was not paying attention, or taking the necessary care to make this a good outcome. I think Dr. Guanche is a good doctor, but her office staff has lost me as a patient.

I blindly called Dr Guanche's office when my 4 year old son developed a nasty skin infection and I needed to see someone urgently. We got right in to see her and she was wonderful. I have since brought my daughter and am now a very satisfied patient myself. Unlike other derms o have been to, she has never tried to sell me procedures or products. My kids love her too!

I went to visit Dr Guanche and found her to be very pleasant and helpful. I waited some 5 minutes to be help by the receptionist. On the way back to the exam room I had a few questions for the nurse who did not answer either one of them, I waited a few moments and repeated the questions again and her response was let me check on that for you, after sitting in the exam room for more than 10 minutes and still not getting my questions answered. I open the door looking for the nurse, she was down the hall sitting in front of a computer looking at something in the internet,cellular texting and talking with another nurse, and every other word out her mouth was cussing and swearing. I have never heard two woman talk so Vulgar in all my life. When Dr Guanche finally got to the room I then ask my questions to her, which were promptly answered.Though I enjoy Dr Guanche. I would not return to her office again only because the Vulgar language and the rudeness of her staff.

Over the years, I've been to a number of dermatologists and have had the normal good and bad experiences. However, my experience at Bella Skin Institute has been more than noteworthy. Everyone from a kind and efficient receptionist to the wonderful Dr.Guanche, who spent her time and patience with me; to explain and treat my condition. I would recommend this doctor and her staff to anyone and everyone. Bill Guinn

Went in for a free sun cancer screening. Check in was seamless but was surprised at how little she interacted with me. Felt uncomfortable as she exchanged inside jokes with the nurse practitioner that was shadowing her, which made me feel like I didn't exist. She spoke to the nurse and mentioned to her "I signed up to volunteer for this." I don't know if she realized how small this made me feel. I wonder if she would have treated me differently if she knew she'd get insurance money or cash from my visit. Just as quickly as she came in, she was out just as fast. Too bad considering I had read these glowing reviews and had high hopes for my office visit with her. Would really have liked to discuss products that she would recommend and as well as procedures I would benefit from.

Dr. Anna has taken care of our whole family that includes chemical peels, scar removal, botox, juvederm, collegen and skin cancer removal. Excellent eye for detail, painless injections and I would recommend her to anyone which I have done several times. We love her.
