Glimpse inside the new GIMP
Canvas Panning
GIMP now allows you to pan out of the layer image border if you need to reach those corner places. This option is very helpful during selection and painting sessions.
Core Changes
Without a doubt, the most significant change that GIMP 2.6 introduces is the use of GEGL (Generic Graphics Library). GEGL provides a new engine for GIMP and will eventually handle all the image processing tasks. The new engine will bring GIMP back alongside the big boys of the image industry. The support for higher bit depths (16, 32, and more) is a big plus, in that it opens up possibilities of native GIMP on HDR formats like OpenEXR and HDR and in support of various color profiles with higher bit depths, such as Microsoft's scRGB. That also means GIMP can find some use in the film industry, whereas up to now, CinePaint was the only open source alternative.
Higher bit depth is not the only advantage GEGL offers. GEGL's processing is based on what is called the graph-based processing framework. One of the major advantages the framework provides is the ability to cache data changes. Caching data changes in turn allows for non-destructive editing (or layer effects, as they are called in similar apps).
Also, all filters will be processed by GEGL, which will allow better quality in some operations than does the current aging architecture. By its nature, GEGL will also provide accelerated functioning while working on larger resolution images. This might also allow faster image updates to the screen. (Note that in this release, GEGL is disabled by default because it is a work in progress. However, users can enable GEGL processing from the colors menu.)
This fresh release of GIMP shows its changing face and showcases some of the new technology that will be the mainstay of the future GIMP. This version has an improved interface, making the work of the developers, usability experts, and the interaction designers clearly visible. If GIMP continues in the same direction, happier times await.

Some documents in Ariz. shooting to remain sealed
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) – A federal judge has unsealed about 60 documents in the 2011 Tucson shooting rampage that wounded former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, but some 20 other records will remain under wraps because of privacy issues.
Most of the documents that U.S. District Judge Larry Burns ruled must remain sealed contain confidential reports from the Bureau of Prisons about Jared Lee Loughner, who was charged in the case.
Burns' seven-page ruling released Friday said some of the documents "were not made publicly available because they contained Mr. Loughner's confidential medical information along with internal BOP records and correspondences.
"These documents may remain sealed to protect Mr. Loughner's medical privacy," Burns wrote.
Others documents staying sealed include prison records pertaining to Loughner's mental evaluation, notes from his prison psychologist, correspondences between lawyers, defense attorney strategy in the case and information about Loughner's parents.
Loughner, 24, was sentenced in November to seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years, after he pleaded guilty to 19 federal charges in the Tucson shooting that left six people dead and 13 others wounded, including Giffords.
The rampage occurred at a Giffords' meet-and-greet with her constituents outside a Tucson supermarket on Jan. 8, 2011.
Giffords was shot once in the head. The Arizona Democrat resigned from Congress last year as she continues to recover from her injuries.
Loughner's guilty plea enabled him to avoid the death penalty. He's serving his sentence at a federal prison medical facility in Springfield, Mo., where he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and forcibly given psychotropic drug treatments to make him fit for trial.
Attorneys for three media outlets asked Burns in April to unseal any remaining documents, saying Loughner's fair-trial rights were no longer on the line now that his criminal case has been resolved.
About 2,700 pages of investigative papers were released in March, and some 600 photos and images taken by investigators in the aftermath of the shooting were released in May.
Among the documents Burns ordered unsealed Friday were some search warrants detailing what authorities found at Loughner's Tucson home after the shooting, but they contained little new information.
Several of the previously sealed documents in the case docket related to billing by Loughner's two appointed attorneys, Judy Clarke and Mark Fleming.
Burns wrote that they were paid on a monthly basis at an hourly rate of $178 and "the lump sum that Ms. Clarke and Mr. Fleming received for their work" in the case was nearly $1.1 million.

The set is good quality for the price. The quilt is nice and thick. The picture doesn't show it but it is also reversable, the other side of the quilt is the brown poka dots that look like the crib sheet. One of the cars on the quilt is a fuzzy soft/different material, the car in the middle. Which is nice and appeals to newborn baby sensors for feel. The bumpers can also be reversable. I would pay attention to washing instructions. Wash cold on gentle cycle so the colors won't blend.
I wanted to update my toddler's bedding when we converted his crib to a toddler daybed....all I knew is it had to have cars on it, as he's obsessed. I wanted something inexpensive, a little more grown-up than most crib bedding and also very colorful..after looking around this set seemed perfect. The colors were just as pictured thankfully (always a gamble when ordering online). I also bought the matching wall decorations and lamp....those were also very cute and tied the room together. I do wish the fabric was softer....but then again I've only washed the sheet and comforter once and I bet after a few washes in good fabric softener they will probably feel much better to the touch.
colors are very true to picture. Bright. Washes up great. only complaint is it is a little short for my crib, but I do have a fairley large sized crib. Adorable for our baby boy. Matches the more expensive Kimberly Grant Zoom Zoom set perfictly. Used so accessories from that set also.
I order this for my baby, and I gotta say I'm very happy with it. Totally worth the price! As far as for quality I have to say this won't dissapoint you . Feels same quality as the ones you buy for $189 at other children stores
i bought this because i loved how it looked in the picture and i loove the colors. when i recieved it and saw it, the colors didnt look as vibrant as they did in the picture. its ok, either way im sure it will come together real nice when i set it up in the crib.
This bed set is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen, but if it can be avoided DO NO use he site to store feature for his item!! I took 3 weeks before i finally came in and the tracking info was almost never updated
Looks very cute in the room. Great price for a crib bedding set. Set has not yet been used or wash so I am unable to comment on how it will hold up or look after being washed.
The colors are very vibrant. I believe it was an excellent bargain. Super cute!

Sesame-Maple Roasted Tofu
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 25 mins
This quick and healthy dinner pairs creamy tofu and crispy snap peas (or broccoli) with a tahini-maple sauce. Serve with udon noodles or rice. If you are using broccoli, roast it with the tofu. From "EatingWell Magazine".
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (14 ounce) packagewater-packed extra firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 3 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed or 3 cups broccoli
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Toss tofu, onion, canola oil, sesame oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a large baking sheet and roast until the tofu is lightly golden on top and the onions are browning in spots, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Whisk tahini, soy sauce, maple syrup and vinegar in a small dish until combined. Remove the tofu from the oven, add snap peas and drizzle with the maple sauce; stir to combine. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Return to the oven and continue roasting until the peas are crisp-tender, 8 to 12 minutes more.
Most Helpful
Delicious! Added extra maple syrup, and make sure to keep an eye on it, I found the cooking time a bit too long. (But I have a wacky old oven)
This was absolutely delicious! I added an extra tablespoon of maple syrup....because I'm a maple syrup addict. My boyfriend and I can't wait to have this again. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
This is so tasty! I made it with the broccoli option. I left it in the oven a little bit too long and it wa a bit toasty- but still delicious. The sauce is great. I served it over the udon noodles. It's also a very easy meal, great for weeknights. Thanks for posting, I'd make it again.

I have been looking through some MFC code and i came across this expression. It was in OnInitDialog() function, didn't look like it's MFC specific. The variables had some name, value was 0.
int volatile something, somethingElse; //this was global
something, somethingElse = 0; //this was inside the function
Does this make any sense in C++? I know how the comma operator works, though in a free form like here it should be separating expressions. Is a variable name also an expression? This code does compile, so how does this work?

Speed Dating For Books
In this era of being alone in a world full of people, speed dating is a matchmaking process in which people meet a large number of possible suitors through a rotation cycle of short "dates", each lasting eight minutes or less. This culturally popular dating system can be used to introduce students to a large quantity of quality literature in a short period of time. Students discuss books, rather than themselves, to find a literature selection that they would like to get to know more intimately though reading.
Different Dating Scenarios
Text Appeal Booktalks
Students are arranged in pairs, sitting across from each other. Students share a booktalk with their audience, answer questions, and then listen to their partner's booktalk, before quickly rotating to the next "date' to repeat the process. Ring a service bell to facilitate the rotation process.
Moen (2007) advocates the provision of questions, such as the following, to assist unfamiliar students to the matchmaking process:
- What was the main character like? Did you like or dislike him/her?
- What was the main conflict or struggle in the book, and how did it develop?
- What was a memorable part of the book?
- What was the theme of the book?
- Did this theme connect or resonate with you?
- When and where did the story take place, and how did this setting affect the characters and events?
- Why did you choose this book?
- How did the book maintain your interest?
- Did this book remind you of other books you have read?
- Have you read other books by this author?
- Would you select other books in this genre?
- How would you rank this book if 1 represented the worst and 10 the best? Explain your rating.
As students gain repeated exposure to speed-dating with books, encourage the development of student-created questions.
Getting To Know YouPlace an assortment of books on tables, ensuring a variety of readability levels and genres are available Seated in pairs at tables, students are provided five minutes to "get to know" the book they pick up. After five minutes, everyone rotates to a different table. If the first table has a book that a student wishes to read, they can check it out and find a comfortable place to engage in the book. If the first table did not have a book that they wished to read, students choose a book from the second table and use the next five minutes to explore the text. Students continue to switch every five minutes until they have made a choice or it is time to make a final decision on which book they were going to take out for a longer "date".
Ranking Your DatesStudents engage in the same process as described previously, but have them also rank the books according to interest and features. Students are provided with two minutes to choose and book and to explore its features and plot.
After two minutes, students are provided one minute to record information about the book, including the title, author, genre, if you think you would like to read the book, and a brief synopsis. Provide a two-column sheet – the first column for the list of the titles and the second column titled "Rank" to the left of the book title column – for students to record their thoughts.
Students then return the book to the table and choose another selection. Repeat the process several times. Culminate the session with a class discussion of the books and the process. Importantly, allocate time for students to sign out a book of interest and to read!
ConclusionBy designing a new place for singles or the bookless to find literary love, Speed Dating With Books draws students to books by appealing to their hearts, as well as dispelling the stereotype of the libraries as a passionless solitary place.

However, your typical outboard is an entirely different story. The splash when you drop that over can half-drown you.
In a way, they're like ticks. If you're out in the woods long enough, you're bound to get more than a few bites. I've been on the water in many different boats and in many different places for the majority of my life. So I've been bitten by more than a few hurricanes, and I've collected a lot of hurricane stories.
When storms come, it may be far too late to do what you need to do. Although some things, such as adding extra lines, can often be done within a few hours of the expected blow, other things should be done well in advance. Many of these are important not only to survive a particular storm but also for your overall boating safety.
Here I'll discuss some of the steps you should take for basic readiness.
Every year, cruising websites fill with "breaking news" and panicked reports about boats running aground as they head south on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Tips are posted on how to get through these treacherous areas, and a week or so later there are often new tips that say the previous ones are no longer valid.
Writing about all of the intelligent things you've done seems to be in vogue in boating magazines and books these days. I may have even been guilty of this from time to time. But I'm here today to set the record straight — or straighter.
Here are three mistakes I've made that have taught me there are lessons to be learned out there, even if I haven't learned them.

Skip to comments.Mount Sterling prepares for testicle festival
Posted on 06/21/2005 12:00:56 PM PDT by byset
Euphemisms abound for the, uh, delicacy that will be the focus of a festival Saturday in Mount Sterling, Ill., about 90 miles north of St. Louis.
Kevin Huston, who owns the Sportsman's Club bar, which is hosting the festival, has heard 'em all: cowboy caviar, swinging beef, mountain oysters, lamb fries. But folks in Mount Sterling (population 2,077) don't mince words, so the festival is known simply as the Sportsman's Club Testicle Festival.
"They're not really like chicken or a beef steak," Huston says. "They're in a class of their own."
The festival, which will feature beef, pork, lamb and turkey testicles, even has a motto: "Come one, come all, let's have a ball." ...
(Excerpt) Read more at stltoday.com ...
Does anybody know what they taste like, or the texture?
I come from a long line of pimento suckers.
It was a first for her.
Hmmmm...perhaps an uncontrollable urge? ;)
Speaking of hard.....
Testicles are a subject for well, biology class, not dinnertime conversation.
In general, if we are going to be talking about nuts at dinner time, then we had better be talking about Planters.
No such thing. Bull = tesicles, Cow = ovaries.
,,, shaggy eel regrets... he will not be lunching today.
Hans & Frans? They are there to pump you up....
especially if they are raw and still on the "vine"!
That's a UGA joke, involving two UGA alums at a football game, watching Ugga during the pre-game with the cheerleaders. Punchline is "That dog would bite yew!"
And yes, I'm a Tech grad.

Nudist festival planned at park
County officials are reviewing plans for a clothing-optional music festival near Sultan.
By Jeff Switzer
Herald Writer
If organizers pull it off, techno music will pulse until 4 a.m. during an upcoming four-day festival at a nudist park north of Sultan.
Some county officials started reviewing the clothing-optional event on Monday and are scheduled to discuss what permits or licenses are needed this morning.
If the event is like previous ones elsewhere in the state, including in Mount Vernon, several hundred concert-goers are expected at the 320-acre Lake Bronson family nudist park property.
"We are campers, we enjoy camping, and also enjoy playing music," said promoter Scott Hansen of Lynnwood.
The site is promoted for "Stompin' In Da Woods 3," where 85 deejays are scheduled to perform July 1-4. Tickets are $30 for the four days, including camping.
"We have licensed nurses on staff, paramedics and full security. Have never had a problem, never had a fight, never had an issue," Hansen said.
Dance music is planned from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. on three stages, and hundreds of people are expected for the shows, daytime sports and camping, Hansen said by phone on Monday as he drove north from a similar outdoor concert in California.
Concerts such as this usually require a special events permit, and review by several departments, including the sheriff's office, said Craig Ladiser, county director of planning and development.
Lake Bronson officials could not be reached for comment.
Hansen said the private property has its own permits for camping, and stages meet county guidelines.
The average age of techno music concert-goers is 25, Hansen said. Of the four concerts that promoters have held since 2002, this year's will be the nearest one to the Seattle dance club scene, Hansen said.
DJs mix electronic bass and drums with other recorded tracks to make this style of dance music. Hansen said DJs are scheduled from 15 states and six countries.
Hansen said the official organizer, KlubStompers, has spent thousands of dollars on security, portable toilets and $2 million for insurance.
Nudity is optional, according to promotional materials.
(hidden cameras are mandatory - dd)
The group has held previous concerts in Tenino at Mount Rainier and at a Boy Scout camp near Mount Vernon, Hansen said.
Security guards at the event plan to screen for people bringing in too much alcohol and will eject drunks, Hansen said. No glass bottles will be allowed, he said, but other containers of alcohol won't be barred.
"We've always discouraged drug use at our events," Hansen said. "Our dance floor is for dancing. I have personally thrown people out of events before."
Everyone will have wristbands, and people younger than 21 will have a special mark on theirs, Hansen said.
The event is advertised for adults 18 and older, but previous events allowed teens as young as 16 if they were accompanied by an adult, Hansen said.
The event has been written up in music magazines and advertised on KNHC (89.5 FM) radio, Hansen said.
Lake Bronson's facilities have 13 flushing toilets and concert promoters plan to add 12 portable toilets, Hansen said.
"We'll have 20 security people walking around to make sure cigarette butts are picked up and there is no trash," Hansen said.

I think they're serving it.
There is a time and a place for testicle discussions,
Oh really? During working hours? Couldn't they get the sack
for that? Sorry, I seem to be Nad'ering on.
As the AC/DC song goes...."But we got the biggest balls of them all!"
Yes. But I'm gonna retire back to political threads July 1st. SO I plan to have fun for another week or so!
I'm just wondering if the gal is at one of those all-u-can-eat places and you pick out the one you want served to you for lunch?
Mainly time...
LOL. There are many proteges that need space. Yoda needs to retire. ;o)
The rules of the festival are quite clear.

text: Best Buy Shares of this electronics retailer have rebounded roughly +30% since I wrote about it back in mid-September, but I see another similar-sized move coming this winter, pushing shares from a current $45 closer to the $60 mark. When I looked at Best Buy in September, I focused on the catalysts for the upcoming holiday shopping season. Yet as the calendar flips to 2011, the investment thesis shifts from an impressive product assortment this year to higher consumer spending next year. Let's face it: Many of us splurged on consumer electronics a few years ago, but have had to make do with what we have the past two years. A $1,000 spending spree at places like Best Buy was replaced by a $100 DVD player here, a $200 camera there. But an emboldened consumer that is less worried about losing his or her job in 2011 will have reason to treat themselves or their loved ones. And to my mind, few retailers can excite a newly enthused consumer as a place like Best Buy, truly a toy store for adults. Analysts have started to raise their forecasts for Best Buy. Many now think the retailer will boost sales +5% in the next fiscal year (which ends February 2012) and that per share profits will approach $4. Yet that growth rate really just reflects the company's international expansion plans, coupled with a very modest expansion in its domestic store base and minimal same-store sales growth. Yet that last factor is the wildcard. If consumers are feeling more emboldened, then same-store sales could easily rise at a +5% pace, pushing total company sales +10% higher, and EPS closer to $4.50. Shares trade for about 10 times that admittedly bullish view, but that's far too cheap a multiple for a retailer with such a tremendous track record. Move that multiple up to 13, and shares would rise +30%. Winnebago Even in a lousy economic environment, this maker of recreational vehicles is seeing signs of a solid rebound. The company has blown past estimates for each of the last three quarters and is on track to boost sales +25% in fiscal (August) 2011. Then again, projected sales of $560 million are a far cry from $1 billion in revenue seen in 2004 and 2005. Per share profits are unlikely to top $0.50 next year, but as investors start to think about the impact of rebounding consumer sentiment, they'd do well to remember that Winnebago earned more than $4 a share when times were good. The stock rallied to $17 earlier this year but has since pulled back to around $11. Shares look like quite the bargain now -- if you believe the consumer will start to stir back to life in 2011. Citi TrendsShares of this retailer, which targets lower-income inner city consumers, has seen its stock fall roughly -45% in the last six months as rising unemployment has been most deeply felt in this target demographic. The company badly lagged profit forecasts for the quarter ended in August; and the current quarter, which ends in a few weeks, is likely to be similarly weak. Yet those trends are obscuring a broader expansion plan that is increasing the company's footprint in major markets. That's why analysts still think sales and profits will rise around +15% both this year and next. That growth rate is lower than what many had expected six months ago, when this upstart retailer was seen to be capable of +20% to +25% growth. Blame it on the tough economy. If employment trends continue to improve, then sentiment may turn positive again for Citi Trends. A word of caution: the U.S. government may rein in the current extension of unemployment benefits, which would have a noticeable effect on Citi Trends' customer base, so shares may stutter the next few months, before setting the stage for a rebound in 2011. I like this name as a long-term holding, and investors should be ready to pounce if and when shares fall into the upper teens. Prev 1 of 3 Next

True to the originalArturia in partnership with Bob Moog has made a faithful reproduction of one of the most famous series of synthesizers: Moog Modular. Whether recreating the abstract tonal qualities of classic electronic soundtracks or pushing forward sonic boundaries of today, the Modular V is THE synthesizer of choice for sound exploration, anywhere, anytime. And with Arturia's True Analog Emulation TAE-based synthesis, it has all the vibe and the fat sound of the original.
Modular synthesis at its best
'Probably the number one system' (Peter Forrest, The A-Z of Analog Synthesizers), the Moog Modular was adopted by groups like Tangerine Dream, The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder, Klaus Schulze, Isao Tomita and many others including Jean-Michel Jarre and Keith Emerson. Because it is modular just like the original, the Modular V is the absolute sound design tool, offering endless possibilities for synthesis. It comes with 9 oscillators, 3 filter slots, 2 LFOs, 6 envelopes, VCAs, mixers, triggers and a 3x8 step-sequencer. Arturia has also added new and very rare Moog module replicas like the Bode frequency shifter and the 928 sample and hold modules, as well as a few new effects developed by Arturia's team like a formant filter and a ring modulator. And now some of the modules are interchangeable, allowing custom configuration of your Modular.
When you place an order with Kraft Music, a confirmation will be sent to you via email, with details of your order, including method of shipping. Once your order leaves our facility, you will receive a shipping confirmation via email, with carrier name and tracking number. You will also be able to find this information by logging into your account. You will need to have an account set up with Kraft Music in order to track your order (versus checking out as a guest).

Potter County commissioners are considering a proactive response, one that has become a priority since Sept. 11.
Potter County Fire Chief Jack Bivens introduced an initiative Oct. 22 that would create a hazardous materials response team.
Since the terrorist attack two months ago and the recent anthrax scare, the increased role of law enforcement at all levels has been prevalent throughout the nation.
Local authority often is the best weapon against terrorism, in both combating and preventing activities.
Commissioners should give adequate consideration to Bivens' proposal, one that could prove valuable.
Any expansion of government requires the increased use of taxpayer money, and commissioners will have to weigh the cost of a hazardous materials response team against the cost of safety to the county.
Bivens estimates the long-term cost of a hazardous materials response team at $30,000 to $40,000. The county currently has 22 individuals with hazardous materials training, he said.
Bivens has the support of similar entities, such as the city of Amarillo's emergency management team.
The inclusion of another department with experience in addressing hazardous materials would be beneficial to the entire community provided communication is a priority.
Fortunately, the county is receiving what Bivens refers to as "nuisance calls" instead of legitimate calls regarding hazardous materials.
Legitimate or not, the calls are understandable to a degree considering the heightened awareness, and sometimes fear, among the public.
A hazardous materials response team could accomplish a lot in alleviating these fears.
It is true that the recent terrorist and biological attacks are redefining the responsibilities of government, and that these heightened responsibilities might change when a sense of normalcy finally returns.
However, the adoption of a hazardous materials response team could be another method to protect the community.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Wednesday, just a little after 7 p.m., you probably wouldn't have given a plugged nickel for Kansas State's chances at getting a Big 12 tournament first-round bye. And you also would have put the Wildcats on the wrong side of the NCAA tournament bubble.
That's because less than a minute into their game that night with No. 5 Texas A&M, the Wildcats lost starting post player Jalana Childs with an injured tailbone after she took a hard fall.
K-State, standing then at 8-6 in the league and needing a signature victory for its NCAA résumé, seemed as if it was on the precipice of disappointment.
But guess what? A little after 9 p.m. that night, it was a completely different story. And by 9 p.m. Saturday, the Wildcats were positively beaming at the postseason opportunities they'd set up for themselves.
We say the weather can change very drastically here in the Midwest in the springtime -- and, indeed, it can. But so can the fortunes of a basketball team.
Even without Childs, a 6-foot-2 junior out of Orlando, Fla., K-State still managed to upset Texas A&M. That was thanks largely to guard Brittany Chambers' shooting clinic, as she scored 35 points.
Coming into Saturday night's game at in-state rival Kansas in the regular-season finale, Childs was not certain she was really going to be able to contribute. She had to convince herself she could do it.
"I was in a lot of pain today," Childs said. "It was just a mental war with myself."
To which K-State coach Deb Patterson said, "And you won it."
She did win, and so did the Wildcats. They defeated Kansas 56-51 behind Childs' 16 points, essentially nailing down their NCAA tournament berth and also earning the No. 4 seed in next week's Big 12 tournament in Kansas City.
The Wildcats needed some help for the latter, and they got it from a rather unlikely source: Missouri. Coach Robin Pingeton is in her first season in Columbia trying to revive the Tigers' program. She got a little boost in the right direction with an upset of Iowa State, a team for which she was previously an assistant before becoming head coach at Illinois State.
The Tigers' 49-48 victory Saturday afternoon over the Cyclones meant the Wildcats went into their game that evening knowing a victory would give them the important early-round bye in the league tournament.
Well at least, some of them knew.
"I don't think our whole team did. I did," Chambers said. "I had a little birdie in my ear before the game. Probably why I was so fiery during the game."
OK, but actually, Chambers is pretty fiery every game. A 5-foot-8 sophomore from Jordan, Minn., she epitomizes the moxie that the Wildcats have shown this season. They've exceeded the expectations most had for them after they lost starters Ashley Sweat and Kari Kincaid to graduation.
Sweat was K-State's leading scorer last season, and Kincaid was the "glue" player. K-State finished 14-18 in 2010, and Chambers was the only returning Wildcat who had averaged in double figures in scoring. K-State was picked to finish ninth in the Big 12 preseason coaches' poll.
"I don't think anyone ever sees us in the top four," Chambers said. "We kind of thrive in that position of the underdog."
After the 2005 graduation of one of the program's most successful classes -- led by Kendra Wecker, K-State's all-time leading scorer and rebounder -- outside expectations for the Wildcats have not been high.
Yet they won the WNIT title in 2006, made the NCAA field in 2008 and '09, and are headed back to the Big Dance this season.
Contrast that with Kansas, which for the 11th season in a row will not be in the NCAA tournament. Unless the Jayhawks win the Big 12 tournament and automatic bid. Which is not going to happen.
Kansas had made nine consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament from 1992 to 2000, but has not gone back since. That is quite a drought; consider that the last time the Jayhawks were in the NCAA field, Kim Mulkey was still an assistant coach at Louisiana Tech.
Speaking of Mulkey, her Baylor squad clinched the Big 12 regular-season title Wednesday, but without senior Melissa Jones playing. Jones suffered an injury in last weekend's game at Oklahoma that caused swelling behind the optic nerve in her right eye, leaving her for a time without vision in that eye.
It was a scary few days for Baylor and Jones, but she returned to the lineup for Saturday's victory at Colorado. That's her home state, so even though she didn't get to play on Senior Night at Baylor, she did get to compete one more time in Colorado.
Texas A&M, after its stumble at Kansas State, bounced back Saturday with a victory against Nebraska and is the No. 2 seed in the Big 12 tournament. Oklahoma is the other bye team at No. 3, despite having lost three of its last four Big 12 games.
Texas Tech got to 8-8 in the league by beating the Sooners on Saturday, while Texas missed the .500 mark by falling at Oklahoma State. Are the 7-9 Longhorns in danger of not making the NCAA field? Perhaps but then you have to consider their RPI, strength of schedule, and the fact that they beat Texas Tech twice this season. Yeah, it's kind of a big mess.
Which is how you might describe this whole season for Nebraska, last season's hot story as the Huskers went all the way until the league tournament undefeated. In 2010-11, though, the bottom fell out for the Huskers, as they were devastated by graduation and injuries.
At 3-13, Nebraska is the No. 12 seed in that program's final Big 12 tournament; next season, the Huskers are off to the Big Ten, while Colorado goes to what will be the Pac-12.
For a time last summer, Kansas State was one of those schools that didn't know where it was going to end up in what looked like a cataclysmic series of conference realignments. But the Big 12's survival as a 10-school league kept Kansas State and Kansas in place.
And on the same day the Kansas men clinched that program's seventh consecutive Big 12 regular-season title, the Jayhawks women lost for the 19th time in their last 21 meetings with Kansas State.
Technically, this is a rivalry game, and it still does feel like one. Yet it has been decidedly one-sided in K-State's favor for the last 10 seasons.
KU has a sparkling, almost-new locker room and practice facility. Coach Bonnie Henrickson and her staff are well-compensated. The Jayhawks' struggles haven't been about Kansas not spending the money to have a winning women's program.
Yet it just hasn't come together. In Henrickson's seven seasons, the Jayhawks are 115-106 overall and 35-77 in the Big 12. This season's 6-10 league mark -- they will be the No. 8 seed -- ties their best under Henrickson. Their biggest postseason accomplishment in her time in Lawrence has been making the 2009 WNIT title game, where KU drew a sell-out crowd of 16,000-plus to Allen Fieldhouse but fell to South Florida.
KU has a new athletic director in Sheahon Zenger, who took over in February. Will he allow Henrickson one more season to try to get the Jayhawks back in the NCAA field? That remains to be seen.
At Kansas State, however, the mood is obviously far more upbeat. The Wildcats will go into Kansas City knowing they gutted out the last week of the regular season and earned their bye.
"We're really proud of our basketball team," Patterson said. "It was an unbelievably emotional experience beating Texas A&M, and to come back and counter that with a road game/rivalry game is just about everything you could picture putting on the plate. Unless it would have been, like, A&M and Baylor back-to-back.
"To us, this game between K-State and KU always takes on such a dynamic personality; it's not like any other game we play in the league. So all compliments to our players for the emotional toughness they brought to the floor."

(1) post to a blog remotely, any way other than email is fine as long as there is the above simple formatting support, OR
(2)to be able to make the excerpt of a post on another blog to be automatically posted into this blog, with the simple formatting.
Can someone help?

Cast: Jazzy, Daphne (I), Autumn East, Hippy Chick, Samantha 36G, Others
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Specialty
Larger women with HUGE pendulous breasts are in fine display here. Unfortunately the camera work is rather shoddy and in constant motion. Lighting is at times quite washed out and the hotels and bedrooms are unappealing to the eye.
The women appear at times to get into the action, as dirty talk and moaning and groaning are evident. At times there's a bit too much of simply lying there and getting pumped, though Samantha does a great job of avoiding such maneuvers. She is an energetic tigress who seems to direct herself, creating a scene that is all about her pleasure. And according to her she did enjoy it, having cum several times, though we'll have to take her word for it. Daphne and Hippy Chick have a playful, sensual girl on girl romp with double-headed dildoes, strap on fucking and some squirting.
Retailing: For fans of larger women.
