MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (WHAS11) -- On the same stage where hundreds mourned the loss of nine members of the Watson family, Chad Watson, offered a message of celebration.
"I'm not up here to share with you blessed memories with my children," said Watson. "I'm up here to tell you what gave them life. And that's Jesus Christ."
Hundreds again filled the Felix E. Martin Jr. Auditorium in Muhlenberg County High School to remember the eight children, and Watson's wife, Nikki, who died in a fire last month.
Watson remembers everything about the night of the fire, and the moment he realized the fate his kids and wife may face.
"Asd Kylie and I waited for an ambulance to come," he said. "All I could think of was, 'It's being taken away. They're being taken home. And the only one who can stop it is allowing it to happen."
A black burn glove on Watson's right hand was the only visible sign of injury. Otherwise he walked up and down the stage as he delivered his message.
"I cannot believe he could stand up there and talk like he did," said Patricia Bennett, who knows the family. "He's got strong faith."
Watson believes this is part of God's plan for him.
"Chad was so sincere," Kevin McKinney said. "That's not something anyone would soon forget."
Watson wants people to celebrate their faith as much as his family's lives.
"I have said over, and over, and over. I will remember how my family lived. I want people to remember how my family lived. Not how they died."
Watson also thanked everyone for their support, and hopes his family's story brings others closer to God.

No such option as: escape
Trying to find a way out
Of this place that's my so called home
Inside scream, yell and shout
Waiting for the day I hit my tombstone.
Sick and tired of running and hiding
From fears and breaking out into rage.
Life seems like nothing, rules aren't worth abiding
by as time goes and I rattle the bars of my cage
Trapped in a world where no one bothers to care
Stares off into space, worthless nothing you make me feel
Thought the feeling was gone for good, but insides continue to tear
Feelings come back like a wave, life becomes oh so real
Reality hits and shocks my spine
Meaningless words corrupt my soul
People tell me everything will be just fine
Yet nothing like the drug can fill the hole
I don't want to go back to that living hell
Yet addiction drags me back with every breath I take
Life, love, friendships…nothing is worth enough to sell
The pain hurts most; the mask of a smile is but an act of fake.

BNV Finals: Philadelphia Round Two
Lily Allen's Racist New Music Video, "Hard Out Here"
You can say please all you want, but at the end of the day most white people honestly just don't care. Despite widespread criticism of Miley Cyrus for her racist cultural appropriation and use of black women as props in her videos, despite criticism of the likes of Lorde for their flippant degradation of the consumer choices and desires of poor black people, Lily Allen arrives in grand racist fashion with her debut track from her upcoming third album.
The video is meant to be a critique and satire of popular culture and manages some deserved jabs at Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" videos among others, but in the end it just reduces itself down to elevating Lily Allen's white female body and objectifying and utterly denigrating those of the black female dancers she deliberately surrounds herself with from start to finish.
Let's just go through a few image stills from the video to start…
(Image description: Lily Allen in a golden room standing in front of a group of 6 female dancers, 4 black, 1 Asian (?) and 1 white)
Much of the video features Lily Allen dancing in a golden room in front of a primarily black group of female dancers. Of course, to contrast the sexuality and exotic nature of their bodies with the others and hers, the black women are dressed in leotards and bikinis while the others have jackets, pants and the like. But honestly, I pretty much just shrugged until the utter reduction of black women's bodies to props and sexual objects commenced in quick haste…
(Image description: A torso of one of the black female dancers in a leotard with her hand over her vagina)
Wait… what?! We only later get to see this black woman's face really well. Gotta start with the pussy shot of her body since clearly it's her virile sexuality that's the real focus here.
(Image description: the upper body and head of the black female dancer with her hands parted and her tongue out)
I guess… happy that we saw her face now at least? Oh but of course she has to be licking her hands and the air.
(Image description: White dancer sticking a dollar bill into the bra of a black female dancer with the latter dancer gasping and looking at the camera)
Any words necessary? It gets better, though, once Lily Allen switches scenes and gets to objectify them and contrast their "gratuitous" bodies with her white femaleness some more.
(Image description: Lily Allen in a fur coat dancing in front of a car surrounded by her dancers twerking around her)
And it keeps going…
(Image description: Lily Allen dancing fully covered in front of a car surrounded by her dancers twerking around her)
Literally only your black dancers are the ones with much skin showing (no problem with that in and of itself but that deliberate contrast with yourself and your non black dancers is sickening) with you as the ~innocent~ white woman dancing fully clothed around them and even one of them on all fours twerking next to you?! Jesus fucking Christ.
But it keeps going… (I told ya'll this was bad)
(Image description: One black female dancer in a bikini pouring champagne down her chest)
And going….
(Image description: One black female dancer in a bikini twerking and slapping her own ass as champagne is poured on it by another black female dancer in a bikini)
Since you know, black female bodies and twerking (a form of black female expression with their bodies) are all so funny and a joke, WHY NOT END BY SMACKING ONE OF THEM ON THE ASS TO REASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE AND PRIVILEGE OVER THEM AS A WHITE WOMAN?
Oh wait, she did that too:
(Image description: Animated gif image of Lily Allen laughing and slapping one of her twerking black female dancers on the ass)
I feel sick to my stomach so I didn't even have the energy to screencap and post the scene where Lily Allen is dancing alone in a dress adorned with images of The Notorious B.I.G. and another one where her and her white manager are attempting to learn how to "twerk" from the black dancers. I just don't have it in me.
What I can say, though, is that the video is sickening. It is meant to be a critique of popular culture and consumerism but employs and denigrates black female bodies to do so and elevate her status as a white woman. The lyrics of the song are also so indicative of this:
"I don't need to shake my ass for you because I got a brain"
So women (and I'm guessing you really mean black women, right, Lily?) who shake their asses are all stupid and have no value, huh?
What's all so funny in the midst of this is that Lily Allen has said that her upcoming album has "feminist vibes" to it, which is all too indicative of why black women (and other WOC) feel so detached from the mainstream white feminist movement. It's why Alice Walker coined the word "womanist" to mark a departure from that movement into one that understood and saw the wholeness of her as a black woman. Intersectionality is important and erasing it, as many white feminists (and black men in discussions about race with black women) do only reveals the real intent of said movement to preserve and enshrine white womanhood at all costs even if it takes denigrating WOC to do so.
There is an incredibly valid critique to be made about hip hop culture and music videos which consistently demean black women, but to ignore her enormous privilege as a white woman and engage in exactly the same racist, degrading objectifying fuckery as Miley Cyrus (who this video was apparently at least partially a "dig" at) is disgusting to say the least.
I keep asking myself when will white people learn, when will they stop degrading my sisters under the auspices of being "progressive," and when will they stop lauding shit like this as "saving pop music," but the depths and depravity of racism don't make any sense, especially in the context of the racialized antiblack misogyny (misogynoir) that black women face every single day.
On that note, FUCK you Lily Allen and who asked you to drag your ass out of musical retirement in the first place? Despite loving your music (and finding this song catchy), I sure as hell want you to take your ass right back there ASAP.
And one last time for posterity…

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel.
In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced.
They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better.
Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece.
They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three
maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border
to assist in framing.
SHEET MUSIC COVER ART CREATED IN THE EARLY 1900'sThis is such a great image for your iphone case, check it out…
woman, crying, orange, blue, emotion, face, tears, vintage, retro
In the days when most of these images were created there were no computers, this original art was created by hand, by artists, and illustrators hired by the major publishing companies.
Its hard to imagine now, a world without computers, but remember, there were also no TV's, or CD's, and precious little record players!!! If you wanted to listen to the popular songs of the day you would have to buy the sheet music, and then find someone to play it on the piano!

Jesse Tyler Ferguson
There's gonna be two redheads on stage & here's a simple way to tell them apart: One is a Broadway fanatic who can't stop humming showtunes & the other is Jesse Tyler Ferguson from "Modern Family."

"Captain Phillips" is the very first movie role for Barkhad Abdi and he's already been nominated for a SAG Award & a Golden Globe. Hmmm...call us crazy, but we think he might have a future in movies.
You know, If Papa John's hasn't signed on as a sponsor to the very funny Tom Papa, it just feels like they missed a major branding opportunity.
Tom Hanks plays Walt Disney in "Saving Mr. Banks" Tom Hanks playing Walt Disney is like the human equivalent of putting peanut butter in chocolate: WIN-WIN.
The Head and the Heart's new album is Let's Be Still, which is also the game our babysitter would beg for us to play.
Everyone loves Jennifer Lawrence, but wait till you see her gonzo lip-sync to "Live and Let Die" in "American Hustle." Your Lawrence-love will reach stratospheric new heights.
Bob Odenkirk plays a Montana anchorman in "Nebraska." Think of it like Big Sky Burgundy, only with more pathos and less trident fights.
Legendary punk rockers Bad Religion have released their first holiday album, Christmas Songs. You've never really heard "O Come All Ye Faithful" until you've heard it from the singers of "Los Angeles is Burning."
Christina Applegate returns as Veronica Corningstone in "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues." As Ron Burgundy would say, she's the smelly pirate hooker of our hearts.
"Ground Floor" star Skylar Astin got his big break in "Spring Awakening" on Broadway. We fully support more jazz hands in sitcoms, so we're thrilled Skylar made the transition.
Morrissey called Young the Giant one of his favorite new bands. Getting a rave from Morrissey must be like getting a smile from Grumpy Cat. Young the Giant's forthcoming new album is Mind over Matter.

iPhone 3G hits London
Summary: As the iPhone 3G went on sale at 8:02am on Friday morning, ZDNet.co.uk spoke to those queuing for the device to find out what was motivating them
2 of 7Image
Friday saw the launch of the iPhone 3G, the second version of Apple's smartphone.
As at the launch of the original iPhone a year ago, a queue formed at the Apple flagship store on London's Regent Street. The queue was, however, smaller this time, numbering only around 70 people. Almost none of those waiting were existing iPhone owners, because Apple stores in the UK are unable to process upgrades from the first- to second-generation handset.
Prior to the store opening at 8:02am — the exact timing being a reference to the UK's exclusive carrier for the iPhone, O2 — ZDNet.co.uk polled some of those waiting for their phones to see what had piqued their interest.
At the time of writing, however, reports were starting to suggest that there were major problems with the launch once it began. Apple's stores have been unable to activate the handsets because the process requires Internet Explorer, while the stores all use Macs. Also, O2's credit-checking systems appear to have crashed, at least temporarily.
Steve, who works for a law firm, avoided the first generation of the iPhone because it did not have 3G connectivity — it used the slower Edge data standard.
"The iPhone 3G was quite hyped up on the internet," he told ZDNet.co.uk. "I started queuing at 3am." Steve added that he was switching provider from Orange — with whom he had a Nokia N95 — to O2 so he can get the iPhone.
He also said that, while his workplace did use Microsoft Exchange — now supported for the first time by the iPhone — he would not be able to use his iPhone as a work device. "The company phones are BlackBerrys," he said. "It's unlikely they will let us change."
Brian had experienced the first iPhone, and was attracted by Apple's decision to open up the device to third-party applications.
He was also keen on the new version's 3G capabilities. "The original one just wasn't fast enough," he said.
"I like the Exchange compatibility too," he added. "I'm an IT consultant and need to have that technology behind me. The style of the phone also looks good for clients."

Yikes! I'm At Risk of Having a Heart Attack!February 27, 2014

|Bryson Whiteman
Eh. No way I'm spending another $60 on Left 4 Dead.
|Andrew Dobbs
I already spent my money on Madden 2010, but I think Left 4 Dead 2011 could win me back.
|Chris OKeefe
I didn't really feel like I got enough out of L4D. They promised to continue supporting it and to provide content, and it's all well and good for them to decide that it'd be 'a better experience' to just make L4D2, but I'm sorry, that doesn't nullify the fact that Valve essentially lied to their paying customers and are expecting them to pay -again- for the same game, redux.
'Well this is how we should have done it... pay us again.'
Even one or two new campaigns for L4D would have gone a long way toward soothing the nerves of people who bought L4D expecting the continued support that Valve promised. But no. We got barely anything. A couple of balance patches. The Last Stand mode which came with just one new level(and a tiny level at that).
So no, I don't think L4D2 will be on my short list of games to buy. I've already got titles on my list for the rest of 2009 and early-mid 2010. Maybe I'll get it when it's on sale. For half off. That's about the price of an expansion, right?
|Janne Haffer
I've played more than 100 hours of l4d according to the steam stats, more than any other valve game on there. And more than any other fps shooter in recent years, I don't understand how people feel it didn't give any value for the money.
|Chris OKeefe
I understand where you're coming from David.
However, when you buy into an online game with promises of content and support to come, it's not the same thing as simply picking up a single player game. Especially since a lot of people felt that L4D didn't contain enough content out of the box, and many people bought the game with full expectation of more to come.
Yeah, on the one hand people regularly pay full price for stuff like this. On the other hand, there were some blatent lies about the future of L4D, and a lot of customers who bought the game with those lies in mind, came away from this whole thing feeling burned. What they are essentially saying is that L4D was a full price beta, and now you get to buy it all over again now that they've sorted out the things they want to do differently. To me, that's not being honest with their customers, and it's enough to turn me off of buying L4D2.
It's the principle of the thing. And Valve should learn that they can't just tell their customers whatever they want to hear and then pretend they didn't say while holding a hand out for more money.
|Walter Lippman
"What we wanted was a single, cohesive revenue strea....I'm sorry, 'statement.' Yeah, statement is what I meant."
Come on now, game companies are corporations like the rest of them, complete with an obligation to increase revenue. Let's be real about all this, shall we?
Maybe feature some commentary as well. Except that, since normal journalism just regurgitates the statements of government officials, I guess we can't expect any more from games journalism. Can't bite the hand that feeds and all that.
|Christopher Wragg
I'm sorry but David has the right of it. Back in the day we'd get a teeny expansion to a game or a sequel (read clone) and love a company for it, literally worship the ground they walked on. How is it that these days when a producer spends time and effort building something bigger than the original game as a sequel, rather than appreciating the effort, so many people start screaming and shouting that everything should be DLC. I'm of the opinion that today's gamer is becoming spoiled. If you enjoyed L4D1 (and if you care enough to complain bout L4D2 not being DLC, you probably did), you'll buy the second, enjoy the additional content, and love valve again, despite your spoilt brat impersonations here.
|Chris OKeefe
Wow, that was randomly hostile. Speaking of spoiled brats.
How difficult is it for you to understand 'false advertising.' Look, Valve promised, again and again, to support L4D over the longterm. They completely and totally went back on that promise. L4D is an online game and its primary draw was cooperative and competitive online play. People were expecting support in the same way Valve supports TF2. You don't see them selling a brand new full-price copy of TF2 every year, do you? No.
They promised support like TF2, and they never gave it to us. For some people that's fine. For others, no thanks. And if you think my choice to not spend 60 dollars on a game is 'screaming and shouting,' then you have bigger issues to work out. I'm not obligated to buy games that you support, and my reasons aren't your business. If you don't agree, don't agree, don't start insulting people's character.
|David Rodriguez
Bottom line, if you want your L4D upgrade; you will buy it. Yah, they said something and now they're going back on it. We're talking about VALVE here by the way, you really think they're gonna take your money and give you crap back? they have good rep, they'll deliver. I think so far people are assuming this sequel is gonna be the assets that were promised for free...which does sound somewhat true. I still think the game will be good.
On a similar note, everyone here is gonna complain but STILL buy all 3 versions of Starcraft 2.
|Andrew Dobbs
I think one of the problems with the L4D issue is that this is all happening after the glory of the Orange Box, when gamers felt like they got a ridiculous value for the money.
L4D just wasn't worth the money they charged. Many people knew it was light on content and expected Valve to deliver more. Instead, they put their focus on the sequel. Will they make more money this way? Probably.
As a consumer, it was frustrating. If people don't speak out about these things, companies won't think twice about doing it again in the future.
|Sean Thom
Well, first of all, I got my copy of L4D from Goozex, so I didn't pay full price for it. However, I can honestly say I would've had I known how fun it was going to be. About Valve's promise to support it, well, obviously recent announcements have proven they've kept their promise, as they always have. What I find so distressing in this dilemma is that when Valve, for the VERY FIRST TIME, announced a TIMELY SEQUEL, people went off on them, saying they were lying, money-grubbing opportunists. Wow. After taking into account just how blissfully AWESOME Valve has been to its user-base over the years with oodles of free content, how endlessly supportive they've been of their modding community, the fact that they decided to IMPROVE upon a game beyond the parameters of simply adding to what was there in a bonafied sequel, AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE start ragging on them like they're ActiBlizz. Wow. Way to thank the people responsible for so much past joy, way to shit on all that good will they've showered on their fans from the very beginning, way to show your loyalty to a company that has been way more loyal to their fans than just about any other game company out there. All you ungrateful gobs can go suck it, I'M gonna be having fun playing BOTH L4D & L4D2.

Master Chef Goes Large!
- e
- EvanWilliams Jul 6, 2007 05:06 PM
I know we are in the middle of the Summer of Cooking Reality Shows but is anyone else watching Master Chef Goes Large on BBCAmerica. I am hooked hardcore on this show. No drama, no fanfare, almost no emotion at all...just a cool elimination tournment of home chefs trying to go big time.
BBC has been pulling out some good cooking shows in the afternoons. They are a nice change of pace from the regular FN shows and PBS shows. If you are tired of the drama of Top Chef, the stupidity of Hell's Kitchen, and overall lameness of Next Food Network Star, check out Master Chef Goes Large. However, they are getting ready to name the winner so I am not sure how much longer it will be on. Honestly, I was waiting for someone else on this board to post something about it but no did so I am taking the ball and running with it.
Side Note/Prediction: He may be the long shot...but Mark should take it.
I absolutely LOVE this program! Actually I love all the programs on BBC America.
But this program seems to be so real, in every way.
When you say they are ready to name the winner, I think we here in New England may be a few weeks behind. Today's show eliminated Christopher and left Caroline, Tomasina and Mark to compete next week. So I don't really know what to expect.
Do you watch Rick Stein's program too? It's called Food Heroes. Makes me cry at the beauty of the photography. I remember seeing his seafood program several years ago and was so excited to find this series.
re: Gio
I am also in New England and just gone done watching Christopher (who deserved it) be eliminated when I posted. My DVR tapes it for me and I watch when I get home from work while I wait for my wife to get off.
Is Food Heros the show where the guy travels England to discover truly English food? I have watched that show and found it really eye opening to British food. It makes me feel like I wasted my time when I backpacked across Europe in my early 20's.
re: EvanWilliams
Yes, Food Heroes is the Rick Stein show. Eye-opening it surely is, and then to watch him cook the fish, the quail, the risotto is inspirational. Simple food cooked simply. I love the passion he has for the foods grown by the small farmers in the United Kingdom. I love to see him go out on the day boats and bring back a few fish to cook and eat that day. It is a beautiful show to watch.
BTW: I agree about the Christopher elimination. So arrogant!
re: hummingbird
Masterchef Goes Large is on BBC America.
I saw Mater Chef a few years ago when it was on PBS. It was an American version Gary Rhodes was hosting. I thought it was a great show. Haven't seen it since but glad to hear it is still being made.
re: Withnail42
Today's show at 1:30PM eastern was Episode 10, so I'm guessing this is an old series. But, since I didn't see the original on PBS (strange but true) I look forward to every program. However this is a thouroughly British show, with well known British food critics, master chefs, etc.
how much more realistic are the scenarios?
i don't think much of any of these shows. stick these people in a 130 degree kitchen in chef's whites for 70 hour weeks for a few months and see what happens.
also, "master chef" (or a variation of CMC) is a specific title that certainly isn't applicable to any TV contestants i've seen lately
i think i'm jaded. hah. =P
The show ran a few years ago. I watched it then and enjoy it now. I'm happy BBCAmerica is doing the food thing, but, that said, they are sort of known for craptastic decisions... (countless Benny Hill re-runs! )
Real glad they are re-running Jaime Oliver.... I like how carefree he is.
Masterchef is a great show, this series though IS a repeat, so be careful reading- someone may throw you a spoiler! I also love Rick Stiens food, though he does love to bash the occasional American now and then......
I'm lucky and now live in England and get to see a lot of cooking shows. Masterchef is one of our favorites. We just had a 3 or 4 week run of Celebrity Masterchef. Those are really fun to watch although I don't know who a lot of the celebrities are, but my British husband does. Some are surprisingly good cooks and make some great dishes. I think I've seen two of the Masterchef series and the winners are always well deserving. Another good series is the one where great British chefs compete (by region) to either make a meal for the Queen or a banquet at the Embassy in France. I am so jealous of their great talent.
re: ealasaidh
Ah - I wish the show would be continued with others competing. I'd also like to know whatever became of Tomasina.

This grubby British anti-shocker from first-time director Gerard Johnson brandishes a fetid promise it doesn't always fulfil.
Tony is a clammy loner who traipses London streets making graceless conversation with hookers and junkies before returning home to his corpsestrewn flat.
Peter Ferdinando excels as the repellent killer, dripping with a greasy awkwardness that sets you ill at ease from the off.
The grimy visuals, carefully observed characters and fine supporting turns add further feathers to Johnson's cap.
Yet despite a black vein of humour, the slow, directionless narrative leaves Tony looking like Dalston's dour answer to American Psycho.

Coming Soon: The Lush Life, Volume 8
After selling their art gallery to someone else, Clay's friends, Alicia and Chris Worth, decided to take their postponed trip to Europe for a month to collect some personal art. Clay promised them I'd housesit for them while he took on another case. They were offering me a cash bonus and their lush life.
The question is would I survive it?

Adaptation by Jake Stephenson
So this is the wildlife film I have been working on for the past 12ish months, it aims to look at pigeons in a different way; not so much an idiotic pest but a creature which has learnt to use us to survive - much more effectively than we have been able to use them…
The opening sequence contains the Tilt-Shift screen shots which I have been posting recently.
So anyway, I hope people like it… (o and make sure you watch it in HD using the cog icon in the bottom right of the youtube screen)
A screenshot of the wildlife film I am editing at the moment. This shot is part of a Tilt/Shift sequence which opens the film.

Early retirement
March 4th, 2013 | Uncategorized
Q. I am a federal employee with the Department of Agriculture who will turn 54 on March 18. I have been with USDA for 35 years and eight months. I understand, under CSRS, that the Office of Personnel Management has to approve early retirement for the federal agency I work for before I can take it. Is there is an option under CSRS where I could get early retirement to care for an elderly family member without requiring overall agency approval from OPM?
A. No, there isn't.

Repeating the priming process, here's where we'll leave the truck for this installment, covered in black primer sealer. After sitting for two days to cure, this was flatted wet with 800-grit paper. Note also, I wetted down the floor of my garage to prevent dirt blowing up as I walked around the truck. This also makes final cleanup easier as the primer and paint won't stick to the floor.

Well, that was unexpected.
So… The Way Station, the bar with the TARDIS, is about 4 blocks from my apartment and I go there several times a week generally. I have friends there and usually, during the week it's quiet(ish) enough for me to sit in my "nook" (back next to the TARDIS) and write.
On Sundays they show movies or TV shows and when Doctor Who is airing, they show the previous night's episode. Today they were showing last night's season finale… aaaaand we had some surprise visitors.
Holy cow did everyone's teeth hit the floor.
I really hope everyone was on their best behavior and Matt and Steven didn't feel too overwhelmed. Also, apologies to Sue Vertue on behalf of the fan who forgot herself and basically followed Sue into the TARDIS/bathroom. We are all beside ourselves to host you at our favorite bar and hope we weren't too much for you. But then, I suppose, if you decide to visit a known Doctor Who bar when they are showing the season finale in order to watch the screening, I imagine you know what you're getting yourself into.
Anyway, thank you so much for coming. It's personal things like this that make such a HUGE fandom feel so small and special.

Arizona Wildcats
Wildcats QB Matt Scott invited to NFL Combine
Last April quarterback Nick Foles became the first Arizona Wildcats passer to be drafted since 1961.
A third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona's career leader in virtually every significant passing category made his debut in November, ending another long (and somewhat embarrassing) drought for the school.
Well, the gap between Foles and the next UA QB to be drafted likely won't be nearly as long as the one between Foles and Eddie Wilson.
Matt Scott, who threw for 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns as a senior, has been invited to the NFL's Scouting Combine.
Scott enters the 2013 draft season as an interesting prospect. He started just one full season at the collegiate level, and flashed solid arm strength to go along with mobility that many NFL teams seem to be looking for.
And while he may not be one of the top prospects at this moment, the fact that he's been invited to showcase his ability for scouts proves there's a decent amount of interest in his skills.

This petition was delivered to:
Appoint Elizabeth Warren to the Senate Banking Committee
Petition by
Stoneham, MA
Multiply Your Impact
Turn your signature into dozens more by sharing this petition and recruiting people you know to sign.
Elizabeth Warren will bring a wealth of expertise and integrity to the Senate Banking Committee. She is recognized as one of the nation's leading bankruptcy experts, particularly bankruptcy issues affecting families, consumers and individuals facing catastrophic losses beyond their control. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, Warren served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). In this capacity, she brought a strong, independent voice to Washington in an effort to protect taxpayers, hold Wall Street accountable, and ensure tough oversight of both the Bush and Obama administrations. She was also instrumental in creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Warren's credentials speak for themselves. More importantly, Elizabeth Warren has long been a tireless champion of the working class. Her support is critical as we try to put Washington on the side of the middle class again.

Senator Warren has it down pat. She is not afraid to point out how the banks or Wall Street are screwing over the Main Street America. Unfortunately, most of the 'old-white-men' in the Senate are so deep in their own debts to the financial system they have only been taking cosmetic chatter. Warren will be a fresh face of honesty.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Their Best is Never Better than Mine
This is Peloton. He is five years old. He ran 42 races as RK's Paco at Southland Greyhound Park in Arkansas and Birmingham Race Course in Alabama before being brought to New Jersey for adoption through GFNJ. He was adopted once and returned three weeks later because the adopters boyfriend didn't like him. We adopted him a month after that and he's been a part of our family for the last two years. He's our very best friend.
He was diagnosed with a neurological autoimmune disorder in January after nearly dying. Our wonderful neurologist saved him for us and continues to help us monitor his condition. We don't know how long he'll get to stay here with us, but cherish every minute.
Because of him we now foster greyhounds in the hopes of making other families as happy as we are now.
(via wilwheaton)
this looks sooooo goood uuuh
Craving now, thanks.

My queue has run out! (Again!) How could I have let something like that happen?!
In all honesty, it's because I've just moved to Chicago, and sometimes real life is more important than the internet.
All the different permutations of this blog have been fun. I love that it's become (mostly) a collection of images I like, and I have every intention to tag the 3,500+ posts so I can really use it as a resource.
Thank you to everyone who has cared enough to follow along. I hope you continue to like what I come up with. Just know that things are going to slow waaay down for a bit.
I'm excited about everything right now, so naturally I'm excited about making this blog something really special.
I write like William Gibson
Neat. I've always fancied myself a cyberpunk \m/
Actually, I did this three times with different pieces of writing and I also got Raymond Chandler and J. D. Salinger.
Feeling pretty cool right now.
Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish
I deleted 400+ "friends" from facebook today. It felt good. Really good.
New Site & New Blog (sort of)
I've decided to make tumblr my main squeeze.
That means is that I won't be updating blogger anymore, but it really means that in addition to random pictures of cats and naked people there will be more doodles and work from yours truly.
Part of the reason for the switch is that I don't feel pressured to write a clever essay to go along with each post. And there is more interaction with internet strangers. And it's more fun to use. Also, you can ask me questions, which is great because I have so many opinions!
So blindly reblog all of my posts and ask me how I feel about suspenders/pumpkin ale/motorcycles. I want to connect* with you.
*wink wink

Stop and search: your rights
The police can stop and search you to look for evidence of a crime, but they must do so in a way that complies with the law and police codes of practice.
A 'stop' is when a police officer or police community support officer stops you and asks you to account for yourself by asking you a question, for instance about why you are in a particular area, or about what you are carrying.
Only a police officer or uniformed police community support officer can stop you. If the police officer is not in uniform, they must show you their identity card.
You cannot be stopped or searched just because of:
- your age, race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion or belief
- the way you look or dress
- the language you speak, or
- the fact that you have been convicted of a crime in the past.
Officers will give you a form explaining why you were stopped or searched, and giving contact information.
If an officer is unable to give you the full form, they will give you a receipt instead. You can obtain a copy of the full form from a police station at any time in the following 12 months.
Not all encounters count as a 'stop'. For example, if an officer is looking for witnesses to a crime, or giving you directions, this would not normally count; however, you still have the right to ask for a form, which the officer must complete and give to you.
Only a police officer can carry out a search on you, and usually only then if they have good reason to suspect that you are carrying certain items. In England and Wales these are:
- drugs, weapons or stolen property
- items which could be used:
- to commit a crime
- to commit an act of terrorism, or
- to cause criminal damage.
In Scotland, the police can also stop and search you if they suspect you are carrying any of these things:
- alcohol, if you are at certain major football or rugby matches or on public transport travelling to such an event
- evidence in relation to an offence under the Protection of Wild Mammals (Scotland) Act 2002
- cash, or the cash equivalent of £1,000 or more, which is the result of criminal activity, or
- fireworks that you intend to use anti-socially.
You can be stopped and searched in a public place or anywhere else if the police believe that you have committed a crime. The search should be carried out with care and sensitivity. However, if the police officer asks you to remove more than your coat, jacket and gloves, or to remove anything that you wear for religious reasons, such as a veil or turban, they must take you out of public view. The police officer carrying out this search must also be of the same sex as you.
There are a number of things the officer searching you must tell you, including:
- the law under which they are stopping or searching you
- their name
- their station
- what they are looking for
- why you've been stopped (unless it's a terrorist stop), and
- that you have the right to be given a record of the search.
In order to track the fairness and equity of stop and search, police will ask you to identify your ethnicity for their records. This information is used solely to ensure that no particular ethnic group is being disproportionately targeted.
You do not have to give the officer your name and address, but it is helpful should you wish to complain. The police will keep your information on file in case they need to contact you later. If you have any concerns about the information that the police may hold on you, you can ask to see it.
If you decide not to tell them your name and address, you cannot be arrested for this reason only.
You should keep the form or receipt that the officer gives you, as it is your only record of the event and will be crucial if you want to make a complaint.
In Scotland, police powers are different although before carrying out a search a police officer must provide their grounds for a search. For certain searches (for example, under anti-terrorism powers) the same right applies to request a written statement in relation to the search.
Note also in Scotland that it is a criminal offence to refuse to provide your name and address to a police officer, if requested to do so.

Plum Wedding
a clean design wedding cake with hand made gumpaste roses. The bride wanted a replication of a cake I had previously made. She only asked for some changes to how the flowers were done on the top of the cake and wanted the flowers color to match the wedding colors.

Season Review
The Hedo Turkoglu experiment didn't make sense when it was first brought up, but Clippers coach Doc Rivers
"He's another shooter," said Rivers following the signing of the 14th year veteran. "Sometimes you don't bring a guy in because a guy is not doing something. You bring a guy in because he does something our other guys do as well. He's another shooter and can space the floor. He's very skilled. We would like to take advantage of that."
Part of the reason Turkoglu was brought in was due to poor play from the other wings and injuries that depleted the wing depth that was lauded coming into the season. Yet and still, Rivers enthrallment with the former Orlando Magic star was quite appalling.
Praised as a shooter, Turkoglu had struggled to excel in that area the last few years. Needing wing defense to combat with the Kevin Durant's and Lebron James' of the world, Turkoglu was a wash there, losing lateral quickness as he aged. Rim protection? Post defense? Rebounding? Nope, and yet, Rivers was big on making Turkoglu a key player on a potential championship contending team.
Turkoglu showed flashes. He'd score here. Knock down three's there. Make some solid plays.. Dunk (Okay it was against the Los Angeles Lakers, but still), but he could never pull it together to make up for the lack of production from the position. It's hard to put much blame on Turkoglu. As mentioned above, injury opened the door for Turkoglu, but poor roster construction created a burden that Hedo was unable to carry in his 14th season. This wasn't the guy that had a hand defeating the Lebron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers in 2009. This was a guy who hadn't played basketball in a year whose head coach was hoping he could reach and pull something from the past. But '09 Turkoglu wasn't walking through that door for the Clippers.
In the end, when things began to look up for Turkoglu, he'd go down with a back injury that wiped away his postseason. Would Turkoglu had made a difference in the Western Conference semi-finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder? Likely not, but you never want to see a player's year ended like that.
Season Highlights
Going Forward
This summer, Turkoglu will be an unrestricted free agent and while he hasn't hinted toward it, retirement seems most likely for the 35-year-old forward, especially after missing the final eight games of the playoffs due to a severe back injury.

There's nothing more gratifying than deleting a post from my past. But I must say, there weren't too many embarrassing posts from the past year.
Well done, 18 yr old self.
I wish I could ctrl + A + X my history in the file in my brain titled 'childhood trauma aka social interaction years K-12' and replace it with Twilight.
Lmao, guh I'm joking!
I grabbed the cardboard cut-out version of Robert Pattinson's junk and was not impressed. Neither was my religion teacher when she caught me harassing him. Maybe because it wasn't her junk i was manhandling. Ooooooh! Oh no you didn't just imply what I think you implied!
Highlight of this vacation: (Holey Saturday)
Josh: Hey, you goin' out tonight? Gonna get drunk?
Me: No! I don't drink often (insert bitchy tone aka defensive reaction when somebody talks to my awkward ass and assumes I have a social life), I'm writing up essays tonight.
Josh: Yeah, me too. I'm studying my hand. I mean—-

The UW is now proudly serving Starbucks® coffee and offering other Starbucks® beverage options at UW dining locations!
This means that you are now able to enjoy a variety of Starbucks® hot and cold beverages at more than 22 locations on campus. The transition to Starbucks® at UW dining locations began this fall. Meantime, the foods you currently enjoy at these locations will remain the same.
You can also continue to compost your hot beverage cups and lids and recycle the cold cup offering. In addition, whenever you bring in a reusable cup, we offer a discount at all UW dining locations.
While loyalty cards are not accepted at UW dining locations at this time, new programs and promotions are in development and we look forward to bringing you additional options in the future!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is the UW now serving Starbucks®?
A. The UW regularly evaluates its business and operations to meet the needs of campus and has made a campus-wide switch as part of a partnership with Starbucks®. As a result, we will now be offering Starbucks® coffee at more than 22 UW dining locations on campus.
Q. Is there anywhere on campus where I can still get Tully's coffee?
A. We will no longer be serving Tully's.
Q. Are the Starbucks® cups and other serviceware compostable?
A. The cups and lids used for hot Starbucks® beverages are compostable and they are currently evaluating options for their cold beverages, which should be available in the coming year. In the meantime, all Starbucks® cups and lids are recyclable.
Q. What rewards programs will be continued or discontinued?
A. Finals Week "Upshot" and the paper loyalty cards will be discontinued. Seasonal drink promotions will continue as will the bring-your-own-mug program. The new bring-your-own-mug program offers drip coffee and hot tea to customers at a discounted price and 10 cents off any espresso drinks. Customers with the UW Dining Refill Club mug will continue to receive a 50-cent discount on 16-ounce drinks as well as soda or dispensed milk and juice at UW dining locations.
Q. Can I use my Starbucks® Rewards Card on campus?
A. All UW dining coffee locations on campus are run by HFS and are not Starbucks® locations and therefore, at this time, cannot accept the Starbucks® card.
Q. Can I use Starbucks® Rewards coupons/discounts on campus?
A. All UW dining coffee locations on campus are run by HFS and are not Starbucks® locations and therefore, at this time, cannot accept Starbucks® coupons or discounts.
Q. Will I still be able to get the same food products that I did before?
A. Yes. The foods you currently enjoy at these coffee locations will remain the same.
Q. Why is my coffee more expensive?
A. Several factors influence pricing, including coffee quality and the experience we are providing. While there will be a slight increase in coffee price, which would have happened regardless of supplier, we hope you will enjoy the variety of offerings coming from Starbucks®.
Q. Why is Fair Trade coffee not available as an offering at the University of Washington?
A. Starbucks® ethical sourcing practices were one of the many factors we considered when deciding to collaborate with the company. While Starbucks® does purchase Fair Trade coffee, its approach to sourcing is grounded in their Coffee and Farmer Equity (C.A.F.E.) Practices, a comprehensive coffee-buying program. Developed in close partnership with Conservation International over 10 years ago, C.A.F.E. Practices ensure coffee quality while also promoting social, economic and environmental standards. Today, 93 percent of all Starbucks® coffee is certified under C.A.F.E. Practices, Fair Trade or another external verification system. Globally, Starbucks® goal is to source 100 percent of its coffee ethically by 2015 using either C.A.F.E. Practices, Fair Trade or another accepted external verification or certification.

((Ok, I have never been to the Roleplaying Forums until now but I couldn't help but notice your way of responding to questions. Kinda makes me curious as to what you're saying since I am a deaf person and I never use sound at all on my computer. If I am intruding, then I am sorry but I just couldn't help but be curious!))

so. I don't have friends either. so we should be friends now? <3
Dear Amumu, since your sadness seems to be driving your power, won't cheering you up make you weaker?
Dear amumu: Hello i hear your not wanting to make friends with me soon well i can change that. I can find out what had happend to you in the past or maybe find out why are you always sad. The thing is you I had seen you in battle and you hold great combat skills for a child ill show find out what has happend to you in the past if you become my top minion. What do you say?

You are one of the sweetest champions on the Fields! If you ate, I'd bake you one of my infamous personality cookies. Just ask Silverling; she knows how great they are!
Dear Luxanna
I see you time and time again on the fields and I can't help but feel bad. Usually when you see one of my rainbow's it means death shortly after on the fields of justice. Mayhaps if I show you a rainbow that is safer, would that cheer you up?

Hey, I was wondering if you were still around and if I could take over the role as Amumu. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
