About Me Bargain Shopper, Career, Casual, Sexy
Overall, I'm very happy with these jeans. I felt incredibly hot on a date wearing these, which is rare. I'm 5'11"; so I would have preferred a 36" inseam. But these definitely work.

The Most Comfortable Jeans Ever!
By Blessed Mommy
from Nashville, TN
About Me Athletic, Casual, Classic, Mom
These jeans are the most comfortable jeans that I have ever put on. Unfortunately, they were way too long. The 35 inch inseam could be true to size, but is much longer than my other jeans with that measurement. The jeans are so darn cute and FLATTERING though that I have them still sitting in my closet with the tags and package, because I really WANT to keep them. I just don't know if the comfort and look is worth sacrificing appropriate length. They warn that this dark color will bleed and that is another concern. LOVE Sevens! They're All I wear and the most flattering jeans made! Sad that I might have to return these particular ones.

Kimmie Curvy Bootcut
By Jill
from Chapel Hill, NC
About Me Casual, Classic, Sexy
The denim is very stretchy and is a little loose in the waist. Waist a tendency to shimmy down a bit if you're active in these jeans. If getting hemmed, keep this in mind as they may seem longer than desired after hemming due to jeans dropping a bit as you move (or sit/stand).

About Me Sexy, Trendy
These will be exchanged for the next smaller size down. That makes me feel better to be in a smaller size but i do hate the return process and fees.
Merchant response: Hi scottsgirl,If you are exchanging the item for the exact style, just a different size, there shouldn't be any return fees. As stated in our return policy: Even exchanges such as a different size of the same style will also qualify for covered shipping costs on full priced merchandise only. Let us know if you have any questions!
Love the fit and so comfortable

I shoot photographs because they are a window through which I see the truth of the world. I shoot photographs because they are more honest than any other art form I know. I shoot photographs because at their best they allow me to express my deepest inner-workings without the clutter of the written word. In my past I've seen darkness and found that my camera was my only friend. I've felt unimaginable loneliness and sadness whilst carrying that camera and have been able to emerge from those shadows intact, largely because I had a means to document the pain.
I spent the years of 2010, 2011 and most of 2012 recovering from a series of head traumas and neck injuries- injuries which prevented me from doing the things I'd always loved. Being no longer able to think clearly or to live a normal lifestyle, photography filled many of the voids which had opened in my existence. I taught myself how to use a camera and commenced documenting everything I saw which didn't involved a human face, all of which at that point alternated between flashing before me in either technicolor or black and white. I poured my loneliness and my sadness into those moments, and as I gradually learned that I would recover my photographic vision also changed. Today I continue to take photographs because they express my deepest emotional self thus I'm not interested in the disaffected or staged. I use photography to explore my deepest motivations and thankfully I continue to be entirely in love with the power of the captured image.
My photos were not taken flippantly or for their aesthetic. These are moments which spoke to my deepest emotional self, and they are the most intimate thing I could imagine displaying in public. I hope that they speak to you similarly, for I'm not interested in cataloging the mundane or the disaffected. In the future I may want to see your sorrow, pain, beauty and joy, however today I want to show you mine.

"Fakers" is an off-beat, crime caper set in the London art world. Nick Blake owes £50,000 and has no way off paying off local crime lord Foster Wright. That is until he stumbles across a lost sketch by legendary Italian artist Antonio Fraccini. The problem is it's only worth £15,000!! The plan is hatched to forge the drawing and sell it to five Mayfair galleries within an hour before anyone cottons onto the fact there's a scam going down.

Ride N Style Photographed by Bobby Sanchez
Anytime we get to be a part of people getting rad on their bikes it's a win in our book. So, when our pals at Red Bull asked us if we would, once again, join them for their annual Fixed Gear Free Style event, we answered "Hell yes we will!" Hell yes we'll host registration at our new Mission Hub>>. Hell yes we'll park Vanna Black (the Chrome Van) at Red Bull Ride n Style and party down. Hell yes we'll eat those burritos. Where's the hot sauce? We were so there.

October 1996
Cher turned a 1950s house in Miami Beach into a grand villa that reflected her evolving taste, and for the first time, she did not use her longtime friend and mentor, interior designer Ron Wilson. Inspired by Venetian and Moorish design, the house was filled with religious art, richly hued fabrics, carved woods, scrolled ironwork and stone—a dramatic departure from her previous residences, which were marked by sparse furnishings, clean lines and minimal color. Pictured: "I wanted to introduce color that wouldn't be overwhelming," Cher said of the living room. Pieces from her former houses joined furnishings from Sanctuary, a mail-order catalogue that she launched. "I've always hated clutter, but now I'm surrounded by things I love to look at."

The camera's MPEG HD422 50 Mbps recording system is widely accepted in broadcasting and production houses, and for good reason. While consumer camcorders tend to capture 4:1:1 or 4:2:0 color sampling, the system's 4:2:2 sampling has up to twice the color information. It's a benefit you'll see especially on crisp, sharp-object edges—for example, where a red blouse meets a background of green trees. For this reason, 4:2:2 sampling also excels in greenscreen and bluescreen composited images.
Though small in size, the PMW-100 camcorder has serious production credentials: time code with user bits, balanced XLR mic inputs (mic sold separately), switchable phantom power and true input level controls.
This camcorder is equipped with a bright, sharp 10x optical zoom lens that extends from 40mm wide angle to a far-reaching 400mm telephoto (35mm equivalent). There's manual lens control with an assignable ring that operates focus or zoom, plus a second control for exposure brightness.
The PMW-100 offers options once limited to Sony's high-end broadcast camcorders. Like compelling Slow and Quick motion, and Interval Recording for gorgeous time-lapse effects. Slow Shutter extracts pictures in ultra-low light with a fascinating motion blur. Cache recording captures 15 seconds of material before you hit record. And NightShot® recording acquires images in the absence of visible light using the camera's built-in infrared LED as a light source.
The PMW-100 camcorder records on Sony's ultra-reliable SxS PRO™ and SxS-1 professional memory cards (sold separately). They feature high-speed data transfer to keep your projects moving in post production. For emergency backup when you're out on a shoot, you can also record onto optional Memory Stick®, SD or XQD cards using the appropriate adaptors (sold separately).
Thanks to a generous array of interfaces, the PMW-100 works seamlessly with an incredibly broad ecosystem of professional, prosumer and consumer equipment. Secured by a locking BNC connector, the SDI interface supports HD and downconverted SD output to professional monitors and recorders. You can connect a consumer television via HDMI™ cable (sold separately). The i.LINK® terminal supports HDV or DV signals, depending on operating mode1.

Title: Hip-hip-hip-hooray
Date: June 16, 2006
Summary: Steve decides to look into the sun and Beaver doesn't apporove.
Cast: Beaver, Steve, Count Dracula, Sun, Owl
Onomatopoeias used: "JUGGLE", "HOOT? / HOOT!", "DANCE!", "CAPER!", "BOK!"
"Fin" style: Written on the sun.
Number of panels: 6
Panel 1
Beaver walks up to Steve, who is staring at something.
Beaver: "Hey Steve! What are you looking at?"
Steve: "The Sun."
Panel 2
Beaver: "Now Steve, how many times do I have to tell you: NEVER look directly at the Sun!..."
Panel 3
Beaver and Steve are still staring at the Sun, who is actually much smaller and tapdancing on their bookshelf.
The Sun is JUGGLE'ing a pair of scissors, a shoe, an owl (who HOOT?'s) and a skull while DANCE!'ing and CAPER!'ing.
The books on the shelf are titled "Generic Book," "How to Fill a Shelf," "Generic Book vol. 2,", "Scenery" and "A Shoeful of Trouble".
Beaver: "...You'll only encourage him"
Sun: "Doot! Doot!" Sun: "Look at me! look at me!"
Panel 4
Beaver and Steve walk away from the Sun, who is now standing on the shelf sadly.
Beaver: "Just ignore him Steve, and I'm sure he'll go away"
Panel 5
Beaver and Steve are standing looking positive.
Panel 6
There is a resounding BOK! when Beaver gets hit in the head with The Owl (presumably thrown by the Sun). The Owl HOOT!'s.
Sun: "Doot!"
Beaver: "Hey!"
Fun Facts
- This is the last Jamesian comic before the Great Hiatus, including the 200th comic. :(
- Dracula was trapped in a glass by Steve in Comic 80. He has broken out from it before, as shown in Comic 141 and Comic 142, after which he was turned into a pile of dust instead of getting trapped. But... ixnay on the ontinuity-cay!
- The owl bears a striking resemblance to one of Steve's Three Judges
- The skull is reminiscent of the skull in Steve's voodoo kit in Comic 105.
I'm not sure if the sun hitting beaver on the head with an owl really qualifies as a punchline, but that's all you're getting for now. I should have called it quits after the first 3 panels.
Next monday my holiday begins, so I won't be drawing any comics for the next two weeks. But before you put that gun to your head let me tell you that I have rounded up some of the best webcomic creators out there and, by a careful combination of flattery and blackmail, have persuaded them to draw guest strips for me. I kind of forgot I only update twice a week and went a little over the top, so there is going to be a new guest strip up every single day! Make sure you don't miss any!
Oh, and if the subliminal advertising in this strip has successfully persuaded you to buy the book you will probably want to click here. You can leave a review on the Amazon page once you've read it too.

Women's Soccer Signs Three for 2002 Season
Friday, February 08, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (February 8, 2002) - East Tennessee State head soccer coach Heather Henson has announced that Erin Ashton (New Bern, N. C.), Meghan Morris (Bowie, Md.) and Catherine Olsen (Thurmont, Md.) signed National Letters of Intent to play for the Bucs in 2002. "I am thrilled to add these dynamic players to our ETSU squad," said Coach Henson. Ashton is a two-time all-region player and was voted offensive MVP twice at New Bern High School. She was a member of the 2000 State Games All East Team and helped lead the CASL Elite club team to the 2000 WAGS Championship and 2001 State Cup Championship. Ashton participated in the North Carolina Olympic Development Program from 1998-2000. She has also competed in basketball and swimming. Ashton is a member of the National Honor Society. "Erin's versatility and speed will allow us to utilize her in many positions which will give our attack more options," said Coach Henson. Morris, a four-year letterwinner, helped lead Bowie High School to three county championships, two regional titles, and to the state semi-finals twice. She was named all-county first team three years and was team captain. Morris scored 51 goals and was credited with 70 assists in high school. In 2000, she was a member of the Maryland Olympic Development Program,and reached the 2000 State Cup Finals with the Freestate United club team. Currently she is a member of the Parkville Pumas club team. She competed as a swimmer for two years. Morris also helps her community as a Special Olympics volunteer and Peer Mediation Counselor. She was a member of the academic honor roll, Maryland Minds in Motion and was part of the Student Government Association. "Meghan is a great addition to our program," said Coach Henson, "she is an aggressive player who reads the game extremely well, making her very versatile." Olsen's Catoctin High School team went to the 2001 state semi-finals. She was the second leading scorer in high school and was the leading scorer on her club team. In 2000, she was named to the All Mid-Maryland and All-Conference team. Olsen played club soccer for the Frederick United Express, which ended the 2000 season in the State Cup semi-finals. She stands out in other areas, as well. Olsen is also an all-area runner, winning state championships in the 1600 meters and twice in the 800 meters. She was a three-time MVP of her track team. Academically, Olsen was on the honor roll for four years, is a two-year member of the National Honor Society and earned honorable mention in the Maryland Distinguished Scholar program. "Catherine is an aggressive runner," said Coach Henson, "her speed and scoring mentality will make her someone other teams will respect."

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Hey all!
So I've been sporting this bag for a few months now and I have to give it two thumbs up if you have back issues or if you are looking for a backpack style bag. However, if I'm judging the best disc golf carrier. Voodoo wins hands down, well, as of today ;)
Soo here are some likes and dislikes for ME.
For me, I'm amazed at how great my back feel after playing a few rounds. Granted I'm still hurting (a few buldging discs), but nothing like it would be after sporting the "bag" style carriers. So if you have back issues, this is the biggest plus to get this bag!
Very well made for sure. I'm glad Justin switched to Cordura after some buyer feedback. Gotta like that in a company! There is also thick gauge plastic on the floor of the bags main compartment as well as in the sides too. This keep the bags "top" from drooping down onto your disc like that dang Revo dualpack.
Pretty decent design. As far as back pack style bags, this is the best for me. Mind you I haven't tried the Golf Mahal by Mystery Ranch. The people who do own them have nothing but the best to say about it, but for me. It's like buying a HumVee to deall with those pesky speed bumps lol!
OK, Con time-
For me, the desgin is not perfect. Once again, the dang opening to the main compartment is a bit to small. Mind you, not as bad as the dualpack, but I hate having to contort and some what force my discs out from the side. IMO that will lead to bag damage over time.
The side compartments are a bit to small for me. I can fit most of my stuff in, but when it comes to rain gear or a hoodie, good luck. Mind you I can stuff rain gear in, but then the sides buldge into the disc compartment and then you have disc space issues.
Man if I could just be able to fit one or two more disc in, I'd be happy. It May be a good thing though. Can't say I'm missing those two discs I had to take out, because of the reduced disc space. Heck, I still carry 18 in the main compartment, but I was sporting 22 in the Voodoo Karma bag.
Finally, the only other thing that bugs me about the bag. Is it's very hard if not impossible to get at your water bottles when this bag is on your back. Mind you I'm no Gumby, but it's an issue I've never had before. A case were function should trump design? I say this, because Justin wanted to keep weight as close to midline as possible.
So there you have it. This is a very nice disc golf carrier for sure and if you are looking for a backpack style bag. It's the best designed bag I've tried, but is it my favorite disc golf carrier? For my glass back that's a big YES!! But I still love my Voodoo bag when it comes to quality and design.
P.S. If cost is an issue. I've seen some very cool "sporting"(Cabella's and the sort) bags that people have turned into disc golf bags at a HUGE reduction in price.

its prolly not, but is that grip eq backpack for sale
Haven't seen anyone mention these, but I recently purchased a Hyzerbomb flak bag, after using a fade tourney bag for well over a year. They only produce them in limited runs, and this bag came from their second batch. The third run and onward is getting some upgrades as well based on customer feedback, so they also keep trying to improve their product as well. The thing that drew me in mostly was the customization options, and also I feel that Grip is sort of an industry standard, and I like supporting the underdogs in general. I also have a pro status friend who uses grip bags, and she put it on and said it felt very similar.
I have used it for less than a dozen rounds so far, but I love this thing already. It feels way better on my back than the fade bag, because it sits higher and everything is more centered so there's less swaying. Originally I bought this bag to carry more discs, but since then I have become sort of a minimalist. I see people carrying almost 2 dozen discs, and it reminds me of those metal drummers from the 80s who had 12 piece drum sets and only used the snare and bass drum. Not a problem though, because I can fit a lot of other things in the compartment besides discs. A couple weeks ago I stored a full set of rain gear in there, and in the winter I can see myself putting away excess layers in there should I heat up during the round. I haven't tried this yet, but a small enough soft material cooler could easily fit in there with drinks/food. Even with the main pocket full, I can still stuff maybe 8 discs in the top pocket, and 2 - 4 in the putter pockets. That doesn't even include the other 3 zip up pockets on the front and side! It also has 2 mini pockets so virtually everything you need quick access to is there at your fingertips.
I haven't really used it a lot yet so there aren't a lot of cons that I can think of. The straps on the bottom for holding a stool could be a bit longer, sometimes I have to really condense my stool to get it to work. So far the stitching is holding up great, well see what happens to it through the winter. Overall I'd say it was worth the purchase and its something to checkout if you're in the market for a new bag.
How much is the Hyzerbomb flak bag ?
Love the Grip bag....and this looks so similar. If it is cheaper and still good quality we will prob c more people carrying these. :)
They used to start at 160, but now with the recent updates they go for 180. I think it's the exact same as a standard grip bag. So really it comes down to what style you like better.
I dunno how you could compare any bag on quad shocks to the grip, in regards to back problems.
It's not even close.
Just about every bag out there has pros and cons. But the grip is definitely better on your back
Im pretty sure Grip bags have a LIFETIME WARRANTY. So essentially if it rips or tears any you can just send it in and get another for free.
i have been thinking about this some lately . i don't have a bad back just an old one , and it gets pretty stiff the next day . but a couple of things i noticed about the grip eq bag is they are always sold out , and the price . 200 is some serious kalas ( hawaiian for dollars ) and being in hawaii there is no way to check them out before you purchase it . if it helps your back i guess it would be worth the price tag , has anyone had the chance to check out the crossover sling pack or sling bag ? they seem to shift the weight up to a more comfortable position on your back , for about half the price .
mahalo Rescue for the reveiw and enjoyed reading the posts , i would rather be thinking about my game instead of my back .
200 helps cover that LIFETIME WARRANTY. If it ever rips or anything send it back get a new one.

Seniors Headed to the Netherlands
It's official: Barring any unforeseen thesis catastrophes we will be attending graduate school at TU Delft in the Netherlands beginning in next year.
Ranked the 17th best university in the world for engineering and technology by Times Higher Education in 2008, TU Delft tries to make the transition process into Dutch culture as smooth as possible for international students by hosting a week-long orientation which will include class registration, tours of the campus and the city, day trips to other parts of the Netherlands, and parties. Events are also hosted throughout the year specifically for the international students.
While the university is about an hour's train ride from Amsterdam and a 15 minute train ride from Rotterdam, the small size of Delft gives it a college town atmosphere. There are 41 different masters in science programs taught at TU Delft, and in these programs, all courses are taught in English. The masters programs most applicable to a Webb degree are in Marine Technology, Offshore Engineering, and Transportation, and we will both be pursuing a two-year Masters of Science in Offshore Engineering. Like Webb, the TU Delft program accepts about 25-30 students a year and has a compulsory thesis. Each student must also select two of the following specializations: floating structures, bottom-founded structures, subsea engineering, and dredging technology.
Delft gives students the opportunity to join several student societies and sports teams. Peter Lee, who has played Webb soccer for all four years, is looking forward to playing soccer for Delft and competing with international players. Peter has always been fascinated with Dutch culture, especially its affection for tulips and techno music. Jay Nonemaker also plans on getting involved in sports at Delft, specifically the swim team and the triathlon club. Jay lived in Europe for six years while growing up and is thrilled to go back. During vacation breaks at Delft, he looks forward to traveling in Europe and visiting family and friends in Germany.
A major contributing factor to our decision to study at TU Delft was the 2009 Offshore Technology Conference that we attended. This conference illustrated how the offshore industry is highly innovative, and relies on international interaction and cooperation. Given that very little is known about Webb outside of the United States, we are eager to promote Webb and its significance to the broader world of naval architecture and marine engineering. We've had a blast at Webb for the last four years, but we are really excited to develop our overseas experience and become members of a larger international engineering community. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Series: Understanding Randomness (5 entries)
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: God and Creation (5 entries)
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament (3 entries)
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Series: But Does it Move? John Lennox on Science and the Bible (4 entries)
Taken from Chapter 2 of John Lennox's book Seven Days That Divide The World, this three part series looks at scripture interpretation. Lennox looks especially at the Galileo controversy regarding the movement of the Earth and why our own interpretations do not necessarily call into question the authority of the Scripture.
Series: The Genesis of Everything (5 entries)
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
Series: The God Who Acts: Robert John Russell on Divine Intervention and Divine Action (8 entries)
Does God need to supernaturally "intervene" in order to bring about the diversity of life that we observe today? Is that kind of action different from God's ordinary action? We begin our three-part series with Robert John Russell's description of how views of divine action have changed throughout history, excerpted from his book Cosmology: From Alpha to Omega. Part 2 addresses why "intervention" in the natural world is a problem philosophically, theologically, and scientifically; and Part 3 explains Russell's own theory of divine action in the natural world.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance (5 entries)
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
A BioLogos Response to William Dembski, Part 1
We think that God created all living organisms, including humans, through the evolutionary process. But acceptance of creation through evolution does not mean that we reject the notion of a miracle-working God. On the contrary...
Below the Surface; Behind the Scene
In this video, Alister McGrath discusses the importance of going beyond surface readings, both in Scripture and in the natural world. The parable of the sower, for example, contains a far deeper meaning than a story of a man scattering seed.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Gaining Perspective
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the humility and openness we need to have before we approach Scripture.
God's Accommodation to Humans
According to Calvin, accommodation is a pedagogical tool that God employs to communicate to human beings. If God wishes to speak to us, he must bridge the gulf by descending into our world and speaking our language. In other words, God accommodates himself to our ability to comprehend.
A Pastor's Perspective on the Dangers of an Ultra-Literal Perspective
In this video Conversation, Greg Boyd notes that some believers conceive of their faith as a "house of cards"—where shifting one element will collapse the whole thing.
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
Series: Miracles and Science (7 entries)
In this five section series, Ard Louis explores the relationship between science and miracles. He indicates the self-imposed limitations of science to discover knowledge while warning against the God-of-the-Gaps explanations. Then, he explains the two types of miracles seen in Scripture: those that are divine timing and those that are violations of the natural. Overall, God sustains natural processes, but, as the master composer, he has the ability to perform miracles as well.
On Myth and Meaning
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.

BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup
Dynamo TV previews the BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup match vs. Stoke City in this edition of This Week.
Tickets are still available for next Wednesday's match by clicking here.
New Stoke City manager Mark Hughes talked with Dynamo broadcaster Glenn Davis last night on Soccer Matters. Check the full interview below!
Tickets are still available for the BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup against Stoke City, including Dynamo Beer Garden tickets! Get yours today for this exciting Premier League matchup next Wednesday, July 24 at BBVA Compass Stadium.
With the BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup only three weeks away, we want to update you on what's happening with the Stoke City squad.
On June 28, Stoke City secured its first major signing of the 2013-14 season by acquiring Dutch international defender Erik Pieters.
Stoke technical director Mark Cartwright said the team got value for their money by signing Pieters to a four-year contract worth 3.1 million euros. "We would have loved to sign an England international, but we couldn't have signed anyone of that ilk for that price," Cartwright said.
TICKETS: Watch the Dynamo and Stoke City on July 24 at BBVA Compass Stadium
Stoke City also announced the signing of Spanish defender Marc Muniesa on July 2. The 21-year-old joins the Potters with a four-year contract after rising through the FC Barcelona system. He becomes the second new signing by new manager Mark Hughes this summer.
Hughes believes the highly-sought after Muniesa will be an excellent addition to the Potters. "I know he's very highly-regarded in Spain and was attracting interest from clubs in La Liga but he's an ambitious young man and wants to test himself in English football," said Hughes.
Here is a slideshow of Muniesa's career with FC Barcelona.
Hughes appointed Eddie Niedzwiecki as first-team coach in June and Niedzwiecki looks to please fans by making Britannia Stadium the noisy fortress it has been in the past. He also expects to play in a different style than former manager Tony Pullis. Niedzwiecki will get a look at the players for the first time when they report for training on July 8.
In their pre-season friendly, Stoke City will host Italian club Genoa at Britannia Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 10. Hughes wanted to play at Britannia to get new players comfortable with the stadium before the start of the season.
The expansion of Clayton Wood training ground is close to completion. The Potters put in 6 million euros worth of updates in the facility in order to meet Category One status within the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP). Some of the additions include changing rooms, a classroom, a two-lane sprint tack and much more. The updates are expected to be finished before the start of the regular season.
Stoke City travels to Houston to face the Dynamo on Wednesday, July 24 at 8 p.m. CT.
With the Dynamo Charities Cup less than a month away, we want to update you on what's happening with the Stoke City squad.
In addition to playing the Houston Dynamo on July 24 and FC Dallas on July 27, Stoke City has recently added a macth against the Philadelphia Union on July 30 to round out the Potter's U.S. tour. Former Dynamo all-star and current Stoke City midfielder Geoff Cameron makes his first return since his transfer to the EPL last year.
Mark Hughes replaced Tony Pulis as manager of Stoke City after Pulis was fired last month. Hughes' first move as manager was signing winger Jermaine Pennant to a new one-year contract. Other than that, the new manager does not plan on adding a significant number of new players to the squad.
Stoke City Player of the Year Asmir Begovic is pleased that the club brought in Mark Hughes to lead the squad. He believes that Hughes, with his successful managerial record, will be able to guide the squad to be a consistent top-half team for years to come.
Stoke City announced the signing of two new coaches who will work under new manager Mark Hughes on June 20. Mark Bowen will serve as assistant manager to Hughes, while Eddie Niedzwiecki joins the squad as first team coach. Both men have previously worked with Hughes on other teams.
New-signee Jermaine Pennant says that the Stoke City fans were a huge reason for his signing a new contract with the squad. He believes this new era for the club with a change in management and attitude will help the club going forward.
In their first five games of the 2013-2014 season, Stoke City will face three tough opponents: Liverpool on opening day, Manchester City on September 14th and Arsenal a week later. Despite the difficult start, the Potters are embracing the challenge.
After the U.S. national team's 1-0 victory over Honduras, Stoke City's Geoff Cameron's dream of playing for the U.S. in the World Cup next year in Brazil are getting closer to becoming reality. Cameron has played a vital role for the stars and stripes by being featured in each of the U.S.'s World Cup Qualification matches this term.
Former Dynamo and current Stoke City defender/midfielder Geoff Cameron was in town for Saturday's match against Toronto FC, and we caught up with him to get his thoughts on the BBVA Compass Dynamo Chariites Cup match between the Dynamo and Stoke City on July 24.
Tickets are still available for this exciting matchup, which benefits Dynamo Charities' Building a Better Houston program. Visit HoustonDynamo.com/Stoke for more info and tickets.
Three weeks ago, it was announced the Dynamo would meet Stoke City on July 24 in the fifth edition of the BBVA Compass Dynamo Charities Cup.
While many fans know that Americans Geoff Cameron and Brek Shea play for Stoke, we highlighted three other players to watch: forwards Jonathan Walters and Peter Crouch and defender Ryan Shawcross.
Another player worth highlighting is goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, who won four club awards last week at the club's End of Season Awards Dinner. The 25-year-old with 20 caps for the Bosnian national team was popular among teammates, coaches andf fans, picking up silverware in four categories: Supporter Clubs' Player of the Year, Players' Player of the Year, Coaching Staff's Player of the Year (co-winner with Shawcross), and Fan's Player of the Year.
The goalkeeper told StokeCityFC.com: "I never expected all of this, I came here to play my part in the evening. This gives me the motivation to go away and try even harder next season."
Begovic started all 38 Premier League games this season and recorded 12 shutouts.

Stoke City ended its season on Sunday with a 1-1 draw at Southampton. It was the final appearance for Michael Owen, who announced his retirement in March and entered as a substitute for the final game in his career.

Stoke City Football Club was founded in 1863 and is the oldest soccer club in the English Premier League and the second oldest professional club in the world (only Notts County, 1862, is older).

- October: President Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving to be celebrated the final Thursday in November
- October: The Brooklyn, Bath and Coney Island Rail Road opens in Brooklyn, the oldest route in the New York subway system
- October: Steamed locomotives were introduced in North Wales.
- October: The Football Association is formed in London as the governing body of English Football (soccer) and the first FA in the world
- November: President Lincoln delivers the Gettysburg Address
- December: The Laws of the Game are approved at a meeting of the FA, creating "Association Football", including field dimensions, goal size, and other basic rules
- December: 11 days later, the first soccer game is played in London under the new Football Association rules, ending in a goalless draw
Other 1863 notes:
- In 1863, a postage stamp cost two cents

text: SX stands for "Super" fast action. Using their newest generation Boron III material and design, Boron III-SX rods have significantly more power and strength than the MX and IIIx rods. These new rods have been specially designed to handle regular WF lines and the heavier style lines now available (Clouser, Magnum, Royal Wulff, etc.) in particularly windy conditions. These rods pick up more line off the water and handle the wind better than any fly rods according to Winston. In addition, Boron III-SX rods have beautiful new silver trip wraps framing the logo and differentiating them from other Winston rods. Available in the Winston trademark deep green with matte black guides to match the new matte black anodized aluminum reel seats. Each is engraved with "R.L. Winston Rod Co.", the Boron III-SX rods are easily distinguished as the most beautiful rods on the rack.

Kosher Vegetarian
|Vegetarian Shepherd's Pie
Adapted from a recipe by Mindy Johnson of Prettyveggie.com
Talk about comforting! "Meat" and potatoes! I was so excited to take a bite when I originally posted this that I served myself before it had a chance to "set" and the potatoes started to slide, but it was SO good!
Vegetarian Ground "Beef"- 3 pouches *
Saute ground "beef" on medium in a bit of oil until it is a slightly "caramelized." The trick to using veggie meats is to be sure the outside is browned well so the product stays together.
While sautéing, add carrots and parsnips. Cook until softened.
Add a bay leaf (remember to remove it later!), and a bit of Worcestershire Sauce. Use the herbs and spices you prefer, but Shepherd's Pie is not known as a very "herb-y" or "spice-y" dish. It's pretty mellow.
Mix a bit of flour or cornstarch with veg broth, and add to mixture in pan to add "stickiness" to the meat. Stir. Add peas.
Spray a baking pan (round or square) and pour in meat mixture. (Be sure to remove the bay leaf!) Press down slightly, and add mashed potatoes on top. Leave some peaks. They brown nicely. I forgot once and missed seeing them.
Bake at 350 until heated through and browned on top. Remove from oven, and let rest before serving. If any is left, it will be more settled and won't "shift" on the second day.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by David Brown Easy to shoot, easy to share Samsung has made it easier than ever to capture great photos, add artistic touches, and share them with friends and family. The WB800F may be compact, but its retractable 21X optical zoom lens lets you get incredibly close to subjects you may think are out of range. And the backlit sensor means poor lighting doesn't have to keep your photos from being bright and detailed. Whether you're shooting candid portraits of friends or recording HD video of your kids, lots of cool on-board editing features let you have fun experimenting with background templates or copying parts of one photo to a new photo. Email, upload, and back up directly from your camera Samsung has equipped the WB800F with an impressive array of wireless photo sharing options. The Direct Link button gives you easy instant access to your Wi-Fi network. Once connected, you can upload photos directly to social networking sites, email them to friends and family right from the camera, view them on a networked TV, or send them to your smartphone, tablet or PC for even more options. Worried about losing photos before you get around to backing them up? Then turn on AutoShare, which automatically sends photos to your Wi-Fi connected smartphone or tablet right after you snap the shot. Touchscreen and button controls With the ability to email photos from the WB800F, you may wonder how long it would take to enter a long email address using the rear-panel navigation buttons. It would likely be tedious, which is why Samsung incorporated a touchscreen LCD into this camera's design. That way, you can enter email addresses just as you would on a smartphone. There are also traditional menu buttons as well as a shooting mode dial, letting you quickly choose between auto or manual exposure modes.

Bought it last minute for a trip to Central America and took great, clear pictures and video. Easy to use. Pros: Ease of use, easy to share photos Cons: Microphone should not have been on top-left of camera since one holds it there when taking video. Perhaps the front would've been a better location. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Camera!!! Written By Kevin, Grandville, MI on Monday, April 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic camera, especially for the price!! Great pictures, easy to use, easy to share, easy to connect with Wi-Fi. Can't go wrong with this one, just another awesome product from Samsung!!! Pros: Great pics, features, set up, sharing, zoom, touchscreen display Cons: Doesn't appear to be compatible with Windows 8 yet. Can't get any updates 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Innovative Compact Camera Written By JOHNNY P, Port Jefferson Station, NY on Friday, March 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect camera for people like me. I use an iPhone and an iPad. I love photography and take lots of pictures with my iPhone Because it is simple and it is always with me. But the iPhone cannot do what a good compact camera can do. I bought previously two digital cameras but never used them because I do not have a regular computer to upload the pictures from the memory card. I like advanced features on a camera. I was an avid film photographer. But at age 63, I prefer simplicity and user-friendly Operation. The Samsung smart camera is very easy to use. I did not get a 300 page manual with the camera. The camera came with a quick start guide. I believe that the iPhone is the easiest smart phone to use. The Samsung smart camera is very easy to figure out. I cannot compare the Samsung to other smart cameras because I've only used a Samsung. But it is definitely very use friendly. Takes great pics. So easy to upload to my Iphone. Then from my iphone I can do whatever I want. Pros: User-friendly. Large TOUCH screen. Built in Wi-fi. 21x Optical zoom. Innovative. Feature Rich. Compact. Uploads wirelessly to iPhone and iPad.
