After almost ten years living as a New Yorker, a McAllen native makes his national television debut this Friday night, Oct. 14, in the PBS broadcast of The Guthrie Theater Presents Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore - an intimate theater experience for a national audience.
The show will air locally on KMBH-TV (channel 60 or cable channel 10) at 8 p.m. Friday and repeat at 10 p.m. Saturday.
A McAllen boy, born and raised, Adrian Pena is the son of Arturo and Annabel Pena, a banker and educational administrator, and the middle child of three boys. Throughout his upbringing, he has been active in the arts and has always had a passion for performing. Starting with gymnastics classes at 3-years-old, Adrian competed on a national level until the age of 12.
But after catching the bug in music classes at McAllen's Sam Rayburn Elementary, Adrian couldn't contain the music inside him any longer and begged to be enrolled in class at the Doria Avila Dance Academy - now, the Deborah Case Dance Academy. During his time with the dance company, Adrian studied many dance genres, including jazz, tap, flamenco, folklorico, and ballet - performing as the title character in The Nutcracker for several seasons, as well as in shows at the Texas State Fair and in the Ft. Worth Ballet's Cinderella.
While attending McAllen's Homer J. Morris Middle School, he got heavily involved in choir. Thanks to caring choir directors Beverly Bradburn and Joyce Hull, Adrian's passions and talents were focused on using his voice to perform. Bradburn and Hull were also unknowingly responsible for planting the seed that would eventually grow to be Adrian's career in entertainment, casting him in his first ever musical - Fiddler on the Roof at McAllen Memorial High School, playing Tumbling Boy No. 2. Once at McAllen High School, he continued to expand his performance opportunities, trying his hand at UIL One-Act plays, joining The McHi Singers Show Choir, performing in the McHi Choir annual dinner show, as the leading man in school musical Bye, Bye, Birdie, and earning a spot on the Texas All-State Choir his senior year - while still maintaining a top-20 ranking and being active in student government as the Student Body President.
Though a seasoned performer by his early teens, Adrian never really considered an actual career in showbiz - being from a small town in Texas. After graduating in 2001, he was accepted to the University of Texas at Austin as an electrical and computer engineering major, but fate - and his mother - had other things in mind. Knowing their son's undeniable passion for performing, Mr. and Mrs. Pena sent Adrian to New York City to take a six-week musical theater summer workshop at New York University's Steinhardt School as a high school graduation present.
He was on a flight to New York less than 24 hours after receiving his diploma. By happy coincidence, the summer workshop's professor was set to be promoted to Head of the Vocal Performance Department the following school year, and took a vested interest in Adrian - coaxing the 18-year-old dancer for a transfer to NYU and a move to the Big Apple. Much too late to enroll for the 2001 fall semester, Adrian did a year at UT, but kept in touch with friends and professors in New York, even through the events of September 11, eventually receiving an acceptance letter from NYU the following February. Though knowing very little about the actual business of show, Adrian packed up, moved 2,000 miles, and began classes in the fall of 2002.
Performing in several main-stage university productions, such as Ragtime and Babes in Arms, and spending a summer performing at Hershey Park, the next three years proved to be a wonderful training ground for the now-showbiz-savvy 22 year-old.
Even before graduating in May of 2005, Adrian had booked a national tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie, and traveled around the country performing the tap-happy show more than 300 times over the next year. Since ending the tour in mid-2006, Adrian has performed at some of the best regional theaters in the country: as Chino in West Side Story at the North Carolina Theater in Raleigh, as The Magic Carpet in Beauty & the Beast at the Westchester Broadway Theater in upstate New York, and as a featured dancer in A Wonderful Life at The Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey (choreographed by Tony Award winner Andy Blankenbuehler), to name just a few. He became a bonafide professional actor in 2007, joining Actors Equity Association - the professional union for stage actors.
Most recently, Adrian spent this past summer performing in Gilbert and Sullivan's HMS Pinafore at the acclaimed Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Renowned Irishmen, director Joe Dowling and choreographer David Bolger have given a fresh take on this hilarious 19th-century operetta about "loving above your station" and "who's really who?" - complete with updated musical arrangements, extravagantly beautiful Victorian costumes, and show-stopping choreography. In late August, this celebrated production was recorded by Twin Cities Public Television to be eternally preserved in the PBS archives as part of the PBS Arts Fall Festivial series. The Guthrie Theater Presents Gilbert & Sullivan's HMS Pinafore kicks off the weekly series Friday, October 14 at 8 p.m. on PBS (KMBH), and will continue the next several months, showcasing the arts and artists from several cities across the country.
Adrian Pena lives in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City and continues to pursue his career in musical theater, with hopes of one day being on Broadway and in movie musicals. For now, he can be seen singing and dancing in the ensemble as the Tumbling Sailor on the small screen this Friday night on PBS (KMBH).

In my page,I have to read the weather information from a third part site,then show the weather in the
div if the user has the connection to the internet. If not,I will show some local content instead. So I have to check if the user have the connection.
Some people said that if the user can see my page,they must be have the connection. However it is not true all the time,since our application may run in the local network,so they can get the resource in our site but not the resource in the internet.
I have thougth use this manner:add the following code in the head of the page:
<script src="http://www.google.com/xxx/jquery.min.xx.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
//the jquery is loaded,the client muse have the connection to the internet.
} else
//show local content
However,in our page we have used the prototype ,if the jquery is loaded successfully,it may cause conflict.
Any idea?
NOTE: we do not need the jquery in our page,here I load the jquery just for test the connection,if possible, I can load anyother lib .
Now,I find an idea:
if google host a js file internet.js,just one line:
var xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx="xx";
Then I requset this file ,to test if the "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" variale is defined. :)))

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Every day this month I'm going to feature the work of a great artist, only instead of me picking the artist to feature, they will be picked by their peers, fellow professional comic book artists who are picking out artists (from the past and present) who they think deserve special attention. Do note that most artists I asked about this gave me multiple answers and I picked out one choice out of a number of suggestions, so these are not definitive answers, like "Artist X likes Artist Y and he thinks all other Artists are terrible!" Here is an archive of the artists featured so far!
Today, we have the pick of Aaron Lopresti, longtime Marvel and DC artist who most recently has been the artist on Ms. Marvel for Marvel and is now is currently the regular artist on Wonder Woman for DC Comics. You can check out his website here.
Aaron's pick is Reed Crandall.
Reed Crandall was, to put it simply, one of the best artists of the Golden Age (and considering the company he was in, that's saying a lot).
He first made a name for himself working for Quality Comics, primarily working on Blackhawk stories in a number of titles.
Here's his work on Blackhawk story from Military Comics….
Look at all that detail! And the dynamism! Just awesome line work.
Here's a Blackhawk story from Modern Comics…
Also strong stuff.
He did other Quality Comics work, including a little work on Kid Eternity…
Crandall also did a lot of great work at EC Comics towards the end of their run…
Spooky stuff!
Here's a nice taut depiction of insanity by Crandall…
Crandall basically bummed around various comic book companies for the rest of his career, which ended in the early 1970s (after moving to Wichita to take care of his ailing mother). He actually was working as a janitor and night watchman at a Pizza Hut when he suffered a stroke. He never really recovered and spent the remaining years of his life in a nursing home.
But boy, what an artistic legacy he left behind!
Thanks to Aaron for the pick!
Great choice by Aaron; Crandall was really underrated, just beautiful work. Huge influence on Bernie Wrightson as well, who in turn influenced Aaron early on in his career. Great stuff!
Man, that is some nice looking stuff. Are there any collections of the old school Blackhawk comics? I'd love to read those.
Jazzbo, DC reprinted the earliest Blackhawk stories in an Archive edition that includes the first story posted above. (And just in case anyone was wondering, the Blackhawks foiled Chinese water torture — the drip-drip-drip in the last panel of that tale — by singing "She's the sweetheart of Sigma Chi"!)
Crandall's pencil is all over the the past century of comics, from the Golden Age to the early Bronze Age. And his quality of work never diminished. As Brian highlights his Blackhawk was king; however, I'll only mention that some of the work he did for Warren Publishing in the 60's is just as good as his earlier EC or Quality work. Thank you Aaron and thank you Brian.
Those Blackhawk pages remind me of Mike McKone.
And those horror tales! The facial detail! Marvelous. That Vault of Horror twist ending is brilliantly grotesque.
I didn't know there was an Archive edition of any Blackhawks comics. Thanks for the tip, Ajit.
Man, I know the gore in those EC comics is what made the company's name, but Quality sure knew how to up the body count ante! That's a lot of death in just a couple of pages. I want to see how the Hawks made it through those two stories now!
Reed Crandall was a master at his craft. I read once about how Dick Giordano tried to get Reed back on Blackhawk before its first cancellation but things didn't work out somehow, probably due to his personal troubles. I wonder if anyone who worked or knew Reed at that Pizza Hut in the 70's had grown up reading his comics and not known who he was. Sad way to go, but his legacy lives on in the many artists he's influenced.
What a great choice – he was definitely one of the best Golden Age artists (if not the best in that earlier phase of the Golden Age); it's unfortunate that you didn't mention (or post scans of) his Firebrand stories from the first 10 or so issues of Police Comics in the early 1940s. The art just makes those stories stand head and shoulders above all of the other features in any given issue (and that even includes the early Plastic Man stories by Jack Cole!)
Man, Crandall was awesome.
A little disappointed to not see his Warren work represented here; it's a whole step up from all this, as good as it is (and it's very good indeed).
Reed was absolutely superior…his work for Warren on Creepy etc. was without equal. His work there often was on gothic, Victorian era tales of the macabre. Check out Vampires Fly at Dusk, Hot Spell or Curse of the Full Moon (Creepy 1,7 and 4). It is such a shame he became alcoholic, I only hope he knew how much his work was appreciated during his life. I have never seen an artist with his style and ability. He evoked a sense of being in the story rather than just reading it.
Reed was the VERY BEST artist Busy had working for him…so detailed…absolute brilliance…astoundingly talented and died in a old folk's home..where is the justice in that….we miss you Reed…you will always be remembered.
Thanks for the pics. Reed Crandall was my grandfather and all I have is one postcard he drew.
Mr. Crandall was one of my all time favorites.
Some day I hope to visit his grave in Newton, Kansas.
I knew Marvel Cartoonist Aaron Lopresti from the ages of 12-17. Mostly, I knew him in 9th grade in junior high in Beaverton Oregon. We also had Spanish together in 7th grade. Also, we both played basketball for Highland Park Junior High, Aaron on Varsity, me on JV.
Aaron was fun to be in school with. He was very nice to his classmates, and quite popular! He was a student government leader and an exceptional basketball player at Beaverton High School in Oregon. He and I both share a love for drama in junior high. We also found out as high school sophomores, that the Drama teacher would force his talented students to choose either (performing for him in his musicals) or participate in sports–it was one or the other–and did he show it when I chose tennis over performing in Camelot in the spring of '80.
I am happy my old classmate Aaron is succeeding personally and professionally. Kevin Shea
Woodland, CA
Being an "old horror" guy, I've long been a fan of E.C. Comics. Reed Crandall did some truly amazing work there. "From Here to Insanity" is one of the best drawn stories I've seen in my life. I was fortunate enough to recently find a copy of Shock Suspenstories 14 where the story first appeared. Geek boy heaven.

Limping to a Photo Finish
It's the closest premier league race in years, but has also been one of the most disappointing
The English Premier League has long been derided as predictable, but as Manchester United prepares to play host to Chelsea on Sunday, the championship is heading for one of the tightest finishes in years.
But let's be honest: This isn't exactly a clash of the titans.
If there's one thing that stands out about this Premier League season, it's how historically bad the leading combatants have been. Even if United wins its remaining three games, its final tally of 82 points would be the lowest total by the title winner in a decade and 13 points fewer than the record set by Chelsea in the 2004-05 campaign.
Whatever the outcome at Old Trafford on Sunday, the team that lifts the Premier League trophy this year will be arguably the least impressive champion this century.
"It hasn't been a classic season by any means," said Tony Barker, a member of a Chelsea supporters' group.
"I think any of the past five or six champions would have walked away with the league this year."
And yet, with three matches remaining, there's an argument to be made that this is the most exciting season English football has seen in years.
Just three points separates United in top spot from second-place Chelsea, and there's a good chance the title could be decided by goal-differential for the first time in Premier League history. Even Arsenal could be back in the hunt come Sunday, potentially three points behind with two games to play, despite repeatedly self-destructing down the stretch.
"It's going down to the wire, that's for sure," said Tony Cottee, a former West Ham United player and a now a football analyst.
Evidence of a decline among English football's ruling class has been clear for some time. In the five seasons prior to the 2009-10 campaign, the Premier League provided 12 of the 20 Champions League semifinalists, six finalists and two winners. Since then, only one team—Manchester United, which will contest this year's final—has advanced past the quarterfinals.
But rarely has there been a year when all England's top clubs have shown themselves to be so flawed all at the same time. United are short on creativity, Chelsea suffered an epic midseason slump, Arsenal remains flaky and Manchester City has struggled to gel. Even Liverpool, which occupies fifth place, spent the first half of the season flirting with relegation.
All of which has turned conventional thinking about Premier League title races on its head. Usually, the team that wins the league does so in one of two ways: by being significantly more organized than its opponents and grinding out 1-0 wins; or by being significantly better than its opponents and putting the weakest teams to the sword.
This season, that's not the case. Manchester United sits at the top of the standings, but has completed only four 1-0 victories in 35 league games and has held its opponents scoreless in just 43% of those matchups—its lowest figure since the 2003-04 season. At the same time, United has won by three goals on just five occasions this season, fewer than any of the past nine Premier League champions
"Maybe the individuals have not shone as brightly for United this season," said Mark Hughes, a former Manchester United striker and now head coach of Fulham. "There's not those key elements to the team where people will jump out of their seats."
In the past four seasons, the Premier League champion has averaged roughly 11 away wins. This season, Arsenal leads the way with eight wins on its travels, while United has won just five of its 18 games on the road—the same number as Blackpool and Newcastle United.
This remarkable slump at the top of the standings surely has something to do with last summer's World Cup. The Premier League's best players, who mostly play for the biggest teams, returned tired or ran out of steam early: Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres disappointed in South Africa and that form lingered into the season; Frank Lampard and Cesc Fabregas have been in and out of the treatment room with significant injuries.
Other stars were struck down with less expected ailments: Didier Drogba missed eight weeks after contracting malaria, while United midfielder Darren Fletcher returned to action against Schalke Wednesday after missing two months with a stomach virus that caused him to lose more than 12 kilograms.
The absence of key players after a period of restrained recruitment means English football's top clubs have lacked something they have come to rely on in previous seasons: an excess of high-quality players capable of providing a winning moment of quality in the tightest games.
"There was no superstar," says Gianfranco Zola, the former Chelsea forward. Indeed, the paucity of outstanding performers is reflected in the fact that Dimitar Berbatov remains at the top of the goalscoring charts, despite spending most of the past three months on the substitutes' bench.
If this year's title contenders have lacked the glamour of their predecessors, United can at least point to its remarkable perseverance. Self-belief has long been a characteristic of Sir Alex Ferguson's teams, but this year's lineup has been particularly resilient: Sixteen of its 73 points have been secured by goals in the final 15 minutes of games, more than any other team in the Premier League.
Still, the suspicion remains that United's biggest strength is everyone else's weakness. United would be almost certain of clinching a record 19th English championship with a win Sunday, but many of the team's followers expect the race to go down to the final day of the season on May 22.
"The fat lady's been clearing her throat for weeks, but we keep blowing our chances," said Martin Rodgers, a 55-year-old Manchester United fan and a season-ticket holder.
"It would be nice to have it sewn up this weekend so we can concentrate on [the Champions League final against] Barcelona, but with all the twists and turns we've had this year, I doubt it."

However, if it does mean REAL > then type.patch is probably needed. In theory, I think no: ideally all operations should be with canonical types as recognized by the type system, and bogus values that aren't catered for should be detected at type creation time. However, the snag in this plan is that the compiler type inference doesn't believe in it yet; instead of being a well-behaved citizen and asking the type system for e.g. (type-intersection a-type b-type) or (specifier-type `(integer ,low ,high)), it goes off and does the creation of types itself (float-tran.lisp and srctran.lisp). Partly this was probably motivated by efficiency concerns, and partly it predates the great refactoring of the type system anyway; I think this should be fixed, but in the meantime your patch might well be necessary for smooth operation.

I just want it to show all the pictures in the directory I have it set to, but no images are showing and it seems to have to make a folder in the directory which I do not want to.
Am I missing something? :/
If you don't want to make filders to store your images, please try another Gallery plugin. Eazyest Gallery is built around images in folders and subfolders.
Unfortunately, I can't find any other plugin that pulls from your folders and the whole reason I stumbled upon this one is because they are all already uploaded.
And the only reason I could use folders is if the root folder was an option, but it's not :(
Thanks for the reply though--I guess I'll keep looking.
@emi, simply you could create 1 subdirectory, put all your images in that one and share that one
@klihelp Not an option. Images are randomly pulled from there for a random picture and all screenshots in every post as well. That would involve over 400 URL changes. And I would rather not upload every image twice either.
Someone suggested having it so if the random picture was clicked, they could see all the screenshots so I was looking for something that would pull automatically over having to make a gallery of 400 pictures with a number getting bigger everyday.
Have you tried Lazyest Gallery?
Emi, how did you resolve this?
I didn't :/ I ended up giving up...
Did you tested from the beginning with this plugin?
- have an empty gallery than
- add an Example folder
- add images to the folder
- use [eazyest_gallery folder="Example"] shortcode in your page
As I said, I already had the images in the folder that I wanted... I wanted to set it to show all the images from that folder. It's a folder in a subdomain so there's the root, the subdomain folder, and then the folder I wanted it to show the pictures from
Thank you for adding the important part -
First you want the plugin to index existing images from the hosting server directory into the WordPress database:
- this directory can be set in the plugin settings page, but this need a main gallery folder.
- Main gallery folder can have one or more subdirectories.
- These subdirectories and their images and will be indexed into WordPress database as Gallery Folders and it's attachments
- Visit the main Eazyest Gallery admin page to see the list of indexed subdirectories
- the Folder Gallery page url will look like this:
- attachment image source like this:
If your WordPress website is also on a subdomain, and the same subdomain as the image links, than it should work.
- Subdomain Gallery links would be
- attachment image source like this:
Read the above steps carefully if you could do it, because there is no other option, like WordPress is not in subdomain, but images are in subdomain ...

A designer drug known as BZP is believed to have claimed its first fatality, an inquest has heard.
Tattoo artist David Pepper, 47, thought he had taken amphetamines over a four-day period in January but it was actually BZP, which can cause heart attacks and fits.
His death is understood to be the first caused directly by the drug after levels in his body were nearly seven times the top end of a fatal dose.
Mr Pepper's fiancee Helen Etherington had tried the powder and told the inquest: "Something was not right about it."
She stopped taking it then warned her partner it "was going to kill him".
He became ill at his home in Burnley that evening and later died.
Consultant pathologist Abdul al-Daoud said a cause of death could not be established.
Verdict: Accidental death.

KILLEEN — There's a steep uphill climb to rational discussion of the Defense Department's proposed 2015 budget, this month's guest speaker told the local chapter of the Military Officers Association of America during their monthly meeting Friday.
Retired Col. Bill Parry, executive director of the Killeen-based Heart of Texas Defense Alliance, spoke on where the Army is headed based on the 2015 budget. The steep climb is created by a lack of veterans in Congress and the current political climate.
Congress has the fewest percentage of veterans since the Vietnam War era, Parry said. There are 20 in the Senate and 89 in the 435-seat House.
"When you're looking at trying to sit down and have a discussion with elected officials ... you have to realize the people you're talking to don't have a clue what you're talking about," Parry said. "That ought to just scare the hell out of you."
Parry also said that despite the cries to repeal sequestration from organizations such as MOAA and the Association of the U.S. Army — as well as the Defense Department itself — he's not so confident Congress will agree. A recent report from the department highlighted the negative impacts the law will have on national security should it continue for the remainder of its 10-year lifespan.
"Sequestration is what's causing the problems right now," Parry said. "There ain't a congressional official in D.C. who doesn't think sequestration is a great idea."
Democrats like it because it protects entitlement programs and Republicans like it because it prevents raising taxes, he said.
"Sequestration in Washington, D.C., is OK," Parry said.
As far as the impact on Fort Hood, Parry said he doesn't know. A round of base realignment and closure would likely benefit Central Texas, he added. The only way to grow Fort Hood would be for other bases to close or shrink.
As far as possible perception changes about Fort Hood due to the second mass shooting in less than five years, Parry said don't worry. As long as the Army is certain that if it sends soldiers and families to Fort Hood, they will be housed, educated and supported by community infrastructure, it will. "That's what we've got to focus on locally," Parry said.
MOAA meets the third Friday of the month at Yank Sing in Killeen. It is open to active-duty and former military officers of all branches.

The Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty gave out more than 700 packages of kosher provisions at the Bensonhurst Council of Jewish Organizations on Aug. 22, ahead of the Jewish New Year next week.
Hundreds of low-income earners lined up in front of the Bensonhurst Council's building on 21st Avenue between 86th Street and Benson Avenue to receive parcels of apples, grape juice, canned fish, and ingredients for traditional soups — all prepared in accordance with Jewish religious dietary laws. The Metropolitan Council said it was part of a citywide effort to give away 300,000 pounds of kosher food before Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown on Sept. 4, and to allow struggling Jews to celebrate the high holy day in comfort.
"Rosh Hashanah is a time of renewal and forgiveness, and we want everyone to be able to welcome in the New Year in a dignified manner," said spokeswoman Rena Resnick.
A 2011 study found economic privations on the rise among New York City's Jews, with one in four households in the community living below the poverty line. Resnick said this is in large part due to the influx of Russian-speaking Jewish emigres from the former Soviet Union — a growing demographic in Bensonhurst.
"There are issues with being able to speak English, and just being an immigrant coming into the city," Resnick explained. "We definitely have seen more need for our services than ever before."
Kosher food is expensive, and Resnick said the 41-year-old Metropolitan Council tries to allow poor Jewish New Yorkers keep their faith through trying times.
"Doing kosher food is very important for people. We don't want them to have to worry about being able to afford to practice their religion," said Resnick.

They are dominated by couples and singles with some retired elements and family groups. They typically populate rural neighbourhoods, small towns and suburbs and are in most cases employed in white collar and manual trades. However we do see an incidence of individuals rising up the professional ladder. Levels of investment and credit risk are both lower than average.

Good thing we are loaded with depth.
Per Rivera's presser on www.panthers.com
At least it can't get any worse.
Saw that coming :(
well we have travell ole wharton.
So with Silatolu now out for the season, that makes it zero, I repeat zero current starters drafted on our offense since 2011. Minus Cam.
Knew it pretty much right away.
lolololol I'm so glad we signed sione fua back rather than add another desperatley needed OL.
what are the odds we still don't add another player there? or does Folkerts get signed back? lol
I think everyone saw this coming. Maybe I'm just imagining it, but it really seemed like our protection completely fell apart when he went out of the game. Not that it was great before, but it seemed nonexistent afterward.
Seems like this is groundhog day. Every fuging year. Always lose our starters to injury.
Irrelevant. Cam has to step it up anyway. HE MUST CARRY THIS TEAM. Am i doin it right???

Re: Parking for big truck
It seems to me that "semi-truck parking" and "bar" should not cross each other on the same sign.

Re: Parking for big truck
Legal tolerance for alcohol while operating a motor vehicle is 0.08%. For a commercial vehicle it is 0.00%. Up to twelve hours after your last drink you are still impaired. If you are the sole operator of that vehicle you are responsible for it whether on duty or off. The law is 0.00% for a reason, wait until you get home before you have that beer, I don't know any professional drivers that would even ask this question.

DALLAS -- The 50-point wins come maybe once in a franchise's history. One-point wins, on the other hand, are regular occurrences for the Dallas Mavericks these days.
The Mavs' 108-107 win Tuesday night over the Milwaukee Bucks was their fifth win this season by the slimmest of margins. It extended their winning streak in such games to 10, a run that dates to January 2007 and ties the NBA record set by the St. Louis Hawks in 1959-60.
The Mavs made history and headlines by routing the New York Knicks by half a hundred Sunday. But they're a half-game back of the Denver Nuggets for second-best record in the West primarily because of their ability to pull out close wins.
No team in the NBA wins close games more often than the Mavs. They're 8-1 in games decided by three points or less, 13-4 in games decided by five points or less.
"We've got a lot of veteran guys that have been in tough ballgames," said guard Jason Terry, who scored nine of his 21 points in the fourth quarter against the Bucks. "There's no hesitation. There's always a determination, somewhat of a confidence that if we get in that situation, we know we're going to win."
Statisticians might say that luck is the primary reason for the Mavs' success in such games. While they've had some good fortune -- this game ended with Milwaukee's Carlos Delfino missing a 10-foot runner at the buzzer -- this is a team built to win when the score gets tight.
Ex-coach Avery Johnson cited Jason Kidd's ability to close games as the primary reason the Mavs pulled the trigger on the blockbuster trade to acquire him from the New Jersey Nets. That didn't quite work out in Kidd's half-season under Johnson, but it's definitely been the case since Rick Carlisle was hired as head coach (the Mavs are 31-9 in games decided by five points or less under Carlisle).
The Mavs have two of the league's top crunch-time scorers in Dirk Nowitzki and Terry, who rank among the top five in fourth-quarter points this season and combined for 17 in the final stanza against the Bucks. Nowitzki's eight game-winning shots in the final seconds since the start of the 2005-06 season leads the NBA.
The offseason sign-and-trade deal for Shawn Marion added a defensive stopper to the mix. His block of a Caron Butler jumper sealed a one-point win last week over the Washington Wizards.
"We're not a team that's going to panic if we need a shot or we need a stop," Kidd said. "We understand what we need to do at that point. To win this many games by one point, it says that we're doing the right thing at the right time."
Added Carlisle: "It says that we have guys who can keep cool in those situations. You've got to be able to execute at both ends to be able to have that kind of run. My hat's off to them. It's unusual, but to have a successful season, you've got to be able to win close games."
The flip side, though, is that the Mavs have allowed a lot of games to go down to the wire when they had a chance to slam the door.
That's what happened with Milwaukee. The Mavs won't be pleased when they watch the film of the final two minutes, as they went from leading by seven to holding their breath at the buzzer.
"In some of those games, there should have been bigger margins, especially at home and not always let it come down to the last shot," Nowitzki said. "That's very dangerous and sometimes it comes back to hurt you."

First soda -- now New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is targeting tobacco.
He wants to require stores to keep tobacco products out of sight unless an adult is making a purchase or employees are restocking.
The goal is to crackdown on young people smoking.
Part of the legislation would also ban sales of discounted tobacco products and strengthen penalties for selling tobacco illegally.
Bloomberg's latest health initiative comes a week after a judge invalidated the city's ban on sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces.

YOKOHAMA, Japan (March 25, 2014) Top climate scientists who are assessing the impact of global warming say that along with the enormous risks facing humanity are opportunities to improve public health and build a better world.
Scientists from 100 countries meeting in the Japanese port city of Yokohama were putting finishing touches Tuesday on a massive report emphasizing the gravity of the threat from climate change facing communities from the polar regions to the tropics.
Japan's environment minister, Nobuteru Ishihara, pledged to make Tokyo's 2020 Games an "Environmental Olympics" as the city devises new policies to improve energy efficiency.
Christopher Field, co-chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said the improved understanding of a warming planet will help countries grasp the human impact on that trend and how to manage those risks.

BOE's Tucker Says Inflation Rate May Slow Less Than Forecast
Bank of England Deputy Governor Paul Tucker said policy makers will keep inflation expectations anchored to the central bank's 2 percent goal as the pace of price gains slows less than expected this year.
"Inflation might remain above 3 percent throughout the second quarter of this year, and possibly into the second half of the year," Tucker said in a speech today in Liverpool, northwest England. The rate of consumer-price gains remains "uncomfortably above target," he said.
Fellow policy maker Adam Posen ended his push for further stimulus this month and David Miles described his call for more as "finely balanced" as officials said inflation may turn out faster than forecast, according to minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee's April meeting published today. Tucker said the rate of price increases may be "a little higher" than estimated as a jump in energy prices threatens to stoke an inflation rate in its third year above target.
"Monetary policy will underpin the recovery so long as that remains consistent with anchoring inflation expectations in line with achieving the 2 percent target over the medium run," Tucker told the Association of Corporate Treasurers' annual conference. "We shall not let that slip."
Posen joined the majority of the nine-member MPC in seeking no change to the 325 billion-pound ($517 billion) asset-purchase target, minutes of their April 4-5 meeting showed. While officials noted the U.K. may face a recession in the first half of this year, they said inflation might pose more of a danger than previously anticipated.
Inflation Forecasts
The bank's forecasts in February showed inflation would slow to about 3 percent by the end of the second quarter from a peak of 5.2 percent in September and the rate would fall below their goal by the end of the year. The MPC split that month as seven policy makers voted to raise the bond plan by 50 billion pounds, while Posen and Miles wanted a bigger increase. The two were outvoted last month seeking a 25 billion-pound increase.
Policy makers Martin Weale and Spencer Dale have warned that price gains may slow less quickly than expected. Inflation accelerated for the first time in six months in March to 3.5 percent from 3.4 percent the previous month, data yesterday showed.
"In the near term there is considerable uncertainty about the path" that inflation will follow, Tucker said.
'Broadly on Track'
The deputy governor said that the outlook for U.K. growth "still looks broadly on track" compared with projections published in February by the central bank. "Surveys point to growth in underlying activity over the first half of 2012 -- not stellar growth, indeed modest growth, but growth nonetheless."
Tucker said temporary factors such as a poor performance in construction data at the start of the year and the queen's Diamond Jubilee in June may result in "weak headline" growth numbers for the first two quarters of 2012.
"Extremely weak" construction output at the start of the year may have left economic activity in the first quarter "close to flat," Tucker said.
"Company insolvencies have ticked up, and will likely continue to do so for a while," the deputy governor said. "There is also a risk that households will spend less than expected in order to rebuild their balance sheets."
"With government needing to set fiscal policy in order to repair the public finances, that means that the burden of stimulating our economic recovery falls mainly to monetary policy," he said.
Data today showed U.K. jobless claims rose less than economists forecast in March and a broader measure of unemployment fell for the first time for almost a year, signs that the labor market is stabilizing.
Jobless-benefit claims rose by 3,600 from February to 1.61 million, the Office for National Statistics said today in London. The median forecast of 29 economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for a gain of 6,000. Unemployment as measured by International Labour Organization methods fell to 8.3 percent in the quarter through February from 8.4 percent.

If possible, allow a default windows position and size. When I ran the player for the first time, the window was located on the left side of the monitor screen. When I move it to the right, check "Remember windows size and position" in the interface configuration, select "apply" and "ok," then quit and run the player, the window remains on the right side of the screen as expected.
However, when I "Remember," "apply," press "ok," quit, and then run the player, the window shows up on the left side of the monitor screen. (I'd like to do this because if I accidentally move the player window and quit, the new window position and size won't be saved.)

Designer Jeans reviews
Denim Review: Rag & Bone RBW23 Leather Pants
Here is my second review on a pair of women's jeans, well leather in this case. I thought it would be nice to review a pair of leather pants since it is one of the biggest trends this season. This review will be on the new Rag & Bone RBW23 Leather Pants that I got as a gift from Rag & Bone.
First I'll talk about the fit. It has the classic Rag & Bone Skinny fit which is slim all the way down with a an 8″ mid rise, but unlike their skinny though, these have a 28″ inseam. The length is great as the way I wear my pants/jeans is just hanging on my hips, so they still have minor bunching and go over my feet a tad. When I did wear these at the level that many would normally wear them, they hit me at mid-ankle (I'm 5'8″). The sizing is pretty much true to size as well, I got my regular size and they fit me exactly the way that I like them to.
The material is what I really love about these. When I first tried them on at a store, I instantly fell in love. The lining is really soft and the leather is thin, so you don't feel bulky, but it's not too thin though, they still have enough thickness to them that will hide any bumps here and there. The look of the leather is sort of a cross between leather and suede. There is some sheen at certain angles, yet matte in others, but since it is mostly matte, these can be worn easily just like any pair of black jeans and another plus about the material is that it is breathable. It is still Summer here in Southern California (well it is just about everyday of the year) and I can easily wear these just fine without feeling suffocated. I can even say that they are more breathable than denim. Sorry denim, I love you, but I think these beat you in that department by a little.
The details can't be left out of this review. They feature three zippers in the front that ACTUALLY lead to pockets when unzipped! This is a really big plus for me since many brands are starting to come out with more and more styles that have faux front pockets. No front pockets is not something that completely turns me away from a pair of jeans, I just find the front pockets to actually be a functional design aesthetic. The back has their classic patch pockets that have a seam going down the middle and signature on the top right corner of the right pocket. These also have ankle zippers, which I am obsessed with. It is a detail that I just cannot get enough of when they are put on jeans. You can easily unzip them when needed if there is too much bunching at the ankles.
Overall, I was really amazed with these, being that they are my first pair of leather pants. I would say they are definitely worth shelling out the money for being that they are also quite versatile. I cannot wait to try out more leather styles in the future if they are all like these. You can click here to purchase these pants at SINGER22 for $935.
Denim Review: Mavi Serena Ankle Skinny Jeans in Mint
This weeks review is on a pair of Mavi Serena Ankle skinny jeans in Mint which I received as a gift from the brand, but since I haven't reviewed Mavi before, I thought I would review these for you all.
This was my first time trying Mavi jeans and for a cheaper denim brand, again I was quite suprised with them. The fit is really nice, it's very flattering all over and the back pockets are really nicely positioned as well. The rise is a lower/mid rise and the inseam is supposed to be at the ankle, but since I have shorter legs it actually bunches a little bit. So they work perfectly for long length skinny jeans or for cropped ankle jeans. I can say I'm quite impressed by the Serena fit, I found it very flattering on me and they passed my strict butt flattering tests!
The fabric of these jeans is pretty much like a jegging. It's very thin though so it can be a little bit on the see through side and also, as I'm sure you can see, it shows up any bumps/lumps that you may have so it's not a jean that would suck you in and hold your shape, it's a jean that sits on you and shows your shape. If that makes sense. Because of how stretchy and thin they are, they do wrinkle quite a lot as you can see, but the comfort of these definitely overrides that issue, for me anyway.
Now the best thing about these jeans is the Mint wash. I absolutely love it! I have some mint leggings, but not any mint jeans, which is shocking I know since it's a very popular colour. It's such a bright and fun pastel shade of green, it's gorgeous. Depending on your computer screen, it does look like my photos, it's not as pale as the photo on the Mavi website in my opinion. Mine seem a little bit brighter than that. But it's definitely beautiful, I really like the Mint wash.
Overall, for $92 or £62.90, depending on your country of residence, they are a great pair of jeans. They are cotton and elastane so very soft and comfortable, they have a great fit and the colour is stunning. They are perfect jeans for warm weather due to their thinness, I wouldn't say they are great for the winter though as you might get cold in them, but definitely great summer jeans! You can buy these online here at Mavi for £62.90.
Denim Review: American Eagle Skinny Kick Jeans in Sunfaded Destroy
This weeks review is on a pair of American Eagle Skinny Kick jeans in Sunfaded Destroy. I got these as a gift and I thought it would make a different type of review since I mainly only do skinny jeans and jeggings. Believe it or not, I am actually quite a fan of American Eagle jeans. I love the fact that they have a great fit for such a cheap price point. I usually only stick to premium denim brands because they are premium for a reason, they pay attention to detail and get the fits spot on, but from the many American Eagle jeans I own and have tried, they have a good fit too. So based on that, it's definitely a brand I would recommend to anyone looking for good fitting jeans that are cheap.
Anyway, these are the Skinny Kick which is sort of in between a bootcut and a straight leg. It's slim all the way down with a wider leg opening than a straight leg, but it's definitely not as big as a bootcut opening. I really like this cut and it suprised me as I'm usually only a skinny jeans girl due to my small legs. But I think because these are slim all over and not so wide at the leg opening, they still create a slim silhouette and the fabric doesn't bulk and give the impression I'm wider like it does on bootcut jeans. I can definitely say I am a fan of the skinny/slim bootcut styles.
The back pocket placement on these, like all my other American Eagle jeans, is really nice. I find them to be flattering, central and of symmetrical proportions. One thing I find you always have to be careful with when buying non premium jeans is the back pockets. Usually the placement is a bit too low, too high, too wide, too narrow, spaced unevenly etc, but these are in a good position. The rise is fairly low, but I find that to be flattering for the cut and I would say the regular inseam, which I have, is the perfect length for my wedge sneakers too. I haven't measured it, but if you want me to do so just leave a comment and I will.
I took a size 4 in these, as I do with all my American Eagle jeans, and I find that equates well to my usual size of a 27 (sometimes a 26). They run fairly true to size, but the part where you can tell that they differ from premium denim is in the fabric. Although the wash is quite nice and I like the little distressed holes in places against the mid blue denim with the subtle sequins on the back pockets, the quality of the denim is definitely not as good as most premium brands, but then I never expected it to be based on the price. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying you can definitely feel the difference. It's less sturdy and more on the stretch out and stay baggy side. It has that thickness/stiffness to it that will stretch out quite easily and probably not retain its shape very well. My jeggings I have are doing fine, but since these are a regular denim, that's the impression I get from them so far.
But for their price point, they are definitely really good jeans. You get a lot of plus points like a great fit, huge variety of sizing from 00-18 and lots of washes to choose from for such a little price. They are even on sale the moment too, so you can buy these jeans for just $29.99. Are any of you a fan of American Eagle jeans too? I know Selena Gomez is!
Denim Review: Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Coal
I thought that their might be some male readers that have the same issues as me when it comes to men's jeans; they might be too baggy (even some skinny styles can be) or on the longer side. You might even find that the washes for women tend to be more appealing to you instead. So for this review, I'll be talking about a pair of women's Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Coal that I have had for a little over a month now.
The fit of the jeans is pretty much what I look for. It is probably the main reason why I am fond of Rag & Bone. The 8.5″ rise gives them a nice slouch and the 30″ length inseam is perfect for me. There is some bunching at the ankles since I wear my jeans on my hips and not at my waist. I would assume that if you wear your jeans higher up at the waist they would end around the ankles.
The wash of these jeans is something that I really like. I never understood why it was so hard to find the perfect pair of black jeans, but it is definitely a feat of its own. I have found that many black jeans tend to not have a black lining. Most of them either have a grey/charcoal wash or sometimes blue at the lining for a reason that I do not understand. These jeans do not have that issue. I can easily cuff them without worrying about the different shade on the underside. I can proudly say that I have found one that I am very pleased with after the long search. Maybe it was just me being quite picky for the duration before though?
The material is another plus of these jeans. If you are looking for supple jeans, these are it. The softness of them is incredible. They almost feel like you are rolling around in a bed of silk blankets. Another high point about the fabric is that it is very breathable and does not get hot from the heat with the black wash. I can easily wear these the whole day without any issue of feeling constricted or overheated.
Overall, I definitely recommend these jeans to anyone who hasn't tried them out. There is nothing that I can find wrong with them. Even during this crazy heat this Summer I was able to wear them quite a few days out of the week. You can click here to purchase Rag & Bone jeans at SINGER22.

I agree. The problem with boxing is the way it is promoted, I will hear about a fight that interests me set to go down in say 2 months, then that is all I hear about it until the day after it actually happens.
I don't know if it is promoted differently in the states or UK where a lot of people on this site tend to reside, but as a Canadian I don't see a lot of promotions selling their fights.
UFC on the other hand, I bet you if I skim through my channel guide there will be something about it on TV somewhere.

Hulu welcomes aboard CBS shows starting in January
As it stands, Hulu already has a huge selection of TV shows to choose from and watch, but it certainly doesn't have every single TV show under the sun. That's to blame on the fact that CBS didn't have a license agreement with Hulu, meaning that no CBS shows were available on online streaming service. However, that's about to change thanks to a new agreement between the two companies.
