How did wedding planner make your day special?
Wow! I feel just awful see all these other reviews! I remember back to this time in my life and had heard about these other brides and am so sad to see that they had the same experience as I did! We hired Faithe a year before our wedding and it was great until around January before my May wedding. I completely agree with all the other reviews, she became flakey and impossible to get ahold of, not to mention embarassing in front of my other vendors, but I just figured I was overreacting. The month before my wedding, everything hit the fan. She had taken on another bride with my same date and we started catching her lying to us about our other vendors and things she had supposedly done, since of course, nothing was ever her fault. I finally lost it.
My mom fired her two weeks before my wedding and we gave all our vendors the alert that she was no longer speaking for us for fear that she would try to retaliate. She seemed completely indifferent even though it was a devastating experience for me during such a wonderful time in my life. She was so unprofessional she even posted things on facebook about all her brides. After spending so much time together in the beginning, we had truly become what I thought was friends and my mom thought of her like another daughter. That just made everything even worse to accept how horrible of a person she really was. We never paid her the remainder of her contract and my parents dared her to try to fight it. We never heard from her again after that day. Please, Please, Please, beware and never hire this woman! I also wanted to reach out to the other posters, I'd love to talk to you guys, I feel like we all belong to some club and surely there's something more we can all do to stop her and her business. My email is firstname.lastname@example.com if you'd like to talk.
Value of a wedding planner?
I totally agree with what everyone else has said. She was very unprofessional. She went way over our budget. She wanted to push my wedding up a month because it "might rain"! She was always late or didn't show up at all. For example she was suppose to bring me my bouquet for my bridal shoot but called me while I was have my make-up done and said she couldn't. So my MOH and I had to drive across town and pick it up! At the reception she didn't announce the cake cutting or anything for that matter.
How did wedding planner make your day special?
OMG! I can totally identify with the previous reviews. This woman was so joyful and bubbly on the first visit. As my wedding day approached she argued with MY vendors that I chose before I met her and became very unprofessional. I had all my vendors and details planned and ready before I hired Faithe. All she had to do was execute on the day of the wedding. She charged an arm and a leg bc my guest list wnet up 100 more people...she claimed she would have to hire another person to help her. Not one time had I ever seen any other people helping Faithe with my wedding but one assistant who showed up inappropriately dresssed with her boobs hanging out. Don't get me wrong, my wedding was beautiful only because I planned everything from A-Z a year in advance. experienced???? she was so nervous the night of the rehearsal and didn't really know how to conduct the rehearsal. She was suppose to meet with my hostesses the day before the wedding and tells me she was getting her nails done and had to get herself ready for the wedding! To top it off, this woman asks me to work for her...there was no way in HELL I'd work with such a phony and dishonest person. I really had to shut my mouth and smile up to the day of my wedding bc I didn't want her to quit or ruin my day but I'd never reccomend her to a soul. Funny....I've been googling her to see if she was still in business...seems like her attitude bit her in the behind. OH and she said she would pick up my rental stuff so I wouldn't have to pay for delivery (IT WAS HER IDEA) and calls me the day of pickup (the day before my wedding) and says she won't be able to get the stuff. So my dad, my cousin and I (hubby had errands to run and knew nothing ofthis) had to pick up all the rentals and pack it up in a van and unload the van....I was so BEAT! AND how about she didn't have anybody to help her clean up the venue.....My out of town family had to pack everything up and my parents took my rental stuff back....WTH????? LIKE I said...I enjoyed my day but Faithe gets no credit for it! And she lies....
Value of a wedding planner?
We hired a planner to make wedding planning stress-free and fun. We should have never hired Faithe Sigh. She was unreliable, unprofessional, and did very little for our wedding. She never wrote down anything about our plans and consistently forgot what we wanted -instead of asking us to remind her, she just went ahead with what she "thought" we wanted -for example, when we talked about budget and the linens and dishware, etc. we needed from vendors I wrote down what we said. Faithe did not and when we needed to reserve them weeks later, asked me for my sheet of paper! Furthermore, Faithe was very late for a meeting and never apologized or accepted responsibility. We felt like she never really listened to us and that we weren't a priority. She finally gave me a schedule for the wedding and it was full of errors -for example, we said from the beginning that we weren't having a garter toss but there it was, scheduled to happen. I understand a few mistakes but the consistent mistakes indicate a planner who didn't really plan anything. As a further testament to her lack of professionalism, Faithe made snide comments about me at a catering meeting, saying I wasn't preparing for the wedding -although, I was the one in contact with the caterer because I couldn't count on Faithe (my mom was shocked by her attitude). It was a frustrating and disappointing experience. Faithe seemed so fun and nice in the beginning but she sure showed us her true colors. I hope no other bride has the same experience I did. It was a complete waste of money and only made a happy experience very stressful.
Value of a wedding planner?
I met my wedding planner, Faithe Sigh, Sigh Planning & Events at a Bridal Fair hosted at Burritt on the Mountain. Hiring her was a COMPLETE waist of time and $$. I began planning my wedding over a year in advance, so I could avoid feeling rushed and everything could go smoothly. However, my experience was the complete opposite and I, by no means gave a 'sigh of relief'. Everything was very rushed and done last minute. In the beginning it was exciting. However, when it about six months until the day, she was very hard to get in contact with, and she constantly pushed back priorities. You are better off finding your own vendors, doing your own invitations, making your own schedule/budget, etc. For example, my invitations were't done until 1 month prior til the date, she never confirmed with all my vendors, etc. There was ALWAYS something going on in her personal life that would prohibit her from handling something dealing with my wedding. And there was ALWAYS an excuse of why she couldn't do something! She is not creative at all! If it's not something she can mimick from a Bridal Magazine or Invitation book, she can't do it. It was so bad that I had to stay up, every night the week of my wedding until 4 AM doing my own favors and programs. She is VERY unreliable. You can never get in touch with her when you need her, and there's always a million other things she has going on. My wedding party had never heard from her until 2 days before my wedding! She is very FORGETFUL! She didn't confirm most of my vendors and/or rentals, ALL of the information on my invitations were incorrect (not to mention late...), and everything was always done last minute. One of my vendors didn't bring half the stuff I purchased! Which she never realized until I mentioned it! She was an hour late to the rehearsal, and made it seem all my hostess were wrong, when she was mistaken. And, she was also SEVERAL hours late on the day of my wedding for set up! Building up to my wedding day, I was getting more and more irrate. But worse of all was my wedding day. I had to do MY OWN schedule/script for the reception on the DAY OF MY WEDDING! You would expect a wedding planner to maintain composure during a stressful time (especially at the wedding), but she was so stressed it made all my guests nervous! If it had not been for my bridesmaids and hostess, my wedding would have never happened. They all stepped up to the plate and handled everything (from the DJ not having any of my songs, flower girls with no flower baskets, moving chairs in the rain, etc.) while she was in the back nervously crying! When it came time to perform, she panicked! When it was time to plan, she pushed me off! If you are thinking of hiring Faithe Sigh, Sigh Planning & Events, you may want to reconsider.

It seems that documentation was not updated, I didn't found anything written there.

I vote to fix the API so that these kinds of mistakes can't happen in the future. I made a lot of mistakes when I designed APR (even though Manoj tried to convince me I was wrong). One of those mistakes is having functions use a single variable for both input and result parameters. I would like to fix that mistake for apr_poll now, as long as we are changing the implementation. BTW, I should also mention that the APR_POLL_LASTDESC enum is only there for backwards compat. Most code that uses apr_poll would never use that enum. Ryan

Beside, AP Yi works the same as other AP champ. You don't jump in first. You wait until the tank initiates.
You just didn't meet a good AP Yi.
Btw, AP Yi is really annoying in laning phase.

Ok, puzzle for the more experienced players. I am Swain, partnered with Mundo, beginning of the game. We arrive late at towers, I stick to tower he goes bush. I follow to save him if need be. In bush were Kass and Malz, they start pummeling him, I root for him to escape, he stays inside and dies before calling me noob for not helping him out. What chance would I have against two silencers (i.e. w/auto-attack)?

Use your skill/summoner spell before you got silenced. Otherwise, tough luck. Bush facechecking is bad, and people should know it. Btw, why didn't he throw his cleave into the bush to check if there is anyone there first? =/
Yeah, you guess it right, that Mundo is trying to hide his fault by calling other noob.

He tossed the cleaver but missed; they were at the bottom of the brush, he aimed topside. I did root them both, but he kept on attacking and reprimanded me for not attacking along. They had a heal or two, Mundo had one as well; I had ignite and tele, didn't get close enough to cast ignite.

Imo ,(Double strike ready) ; Wuju ; Alpha strike ; Highlander ; Auto-attack ; Meditate if needed .With his amazing atk speed and lifesteal added with infinity edge for critical , he can destroy the turret in 10s.
But yeah ,as Duo Maxwell said , you didn't encountered a good Yi.
Note that ,constatly you can farm creeps , get a lot of money/buff , buy items , then go gank , push... he's item dependant so better farm a lot.
Edit : Ofc AD Yi is imba too.

Love the christmas skin, those caps on the minions are just <3 So, I met a Cass a while ago...good harass with poison, easy ganking with fangs and ulti, but seriously squishy champ, took less than 3 secs to ice her. Swain's passive changed from 300% mana regen per 5 for 5 seconds (equaling insane mana if you got golem) to 10 mana +1 per level per kill, meaning 27 mana per kill at LV18...can't say it's better, really. In the same game, I met an Akali who almost cost us the game, arguing with a rage leaver Kenny, who, according to Akali, was noob for not getting mejai's, and made all sorts of comments in the middle of a fight ("Star him, you idiot! OMG first time with Ken!?"). I'm ashamed we actually won tbh...

The current passive is better, especially in the combat where there are a lot of minions around.
Cass is...well....I don't know why would people bother with her Q + E combo, seeing how the range of her E is so suck. At least 200 range shorter than her Q. Maxing both her poisons first actually give you better lane control than using her E. If you use her E, it's also mean you're trading hit with your opponent, not harassing, and we all know how squishy she is.
Don't mind me, I am just theorycrafting. With the 6300 price tag, I know that I won't be able to use her until she is free (maybe until the next 2 weeks), and it's hardly a constructive review when I haven't even played her. That's what I think from seeing how she performed in game.
Currently saving IP to buy both Cho'gath and Kassadin, after that I think I'll move to "poison" base champions, like Teemo, Cass. Already got Singed. Is there any poison champ that I missed?

Also for the same type , Kog (acid) & Malz(infect).
Fortunately the christmas skins cost 877 for Gragas / Mf / Shaco / Kog / Poppy & 468 for Amumu / Sona , not 1820 like the special skins , Astronaut Teemo , Fireman Tristana , Annie in the wonderland .....

With the patch, Twitch is hurt a lot. I mean limited shots to his spray and pray is just stupid.
Had a premade match against a Cass and well, I'm not that impressed. Yes her E skill range is short and the AP ratio is not that good. Q can be easily dodged like Karthus'. However, her ulti is instant and can take you by surprise when diving at her. Better to bs her during teamfights. And she fail against kiters just like on the video.
And... I'm not gonna buy her. Going for Pantheon then.

Got my first game with Malzahar after this patch, although the change isn't significant, Voiding's presence isn't something that the enemy can omit either, and double Voiding is awesome :3. 8/0/10, not particular great but not a bad score either. Spirit Visage might be good on Malzahar after all.
Cass is annoying in laning phase. Dodging her poison really tired me out.

BTW, spirit visage don't work on lifesteal/spell vamp.
Bit sad on Malz's buffs though. Would've liked it better if I can more consistently land my Q's, rather than make W even more of a one point wonder until late game or getting double voidling more often. Oh well, I'll take what I can get.

I still have mana problem with him if the battle is prolonged too much, like 1 minute, or about 40 seconds if it happens in the jungle unless I go for Tear of Goddess. If I'm set with Tear of Goddess, I guess it's time to replace my mana regen runes with AP/lv ones.
Btw, those Holiday Quint are great :3. I was having trouble saving to buy 3 movement speed runes, and here come the deal with only 1550 IP each +1.5% ms quint. Gotta delay Kassadin and Cho'gath to complete my rune page.

Intensive longitudinal data are becoming increasingly common in substance use research and HIV/AIDS research. Substance use researchers employ technological innovations such as hand-held computers, cell phones and web-based assessment to collect data in which many observations are collected closely spaced at time. These data collection approaches have revolutionized the process of scientific research and knowledge discovery in the substance use area. Additionally, many HIV/AIDS studies have become mature longitudinal studies that have collected many waves of data and have amassed many observations over the course of years of data collection. Thus, mature longitudinal data with many waves may be viewed as intensive Tongitudinal data as well. In theory, intensive longitudinal data can provide answers to important questions in drug abuse research and HIV/AIDS research. However, there are no appropriate statistical procedures that can be applied for such data to address important scientific questions, such as: What is the relationship between mood and urge to smoke over the period from quitting smoking to the first relapse? What factors predict first instance of unsafe sex after a diagnosis of HIV? In this project, we propose new models for joint analysis of intensive longitudinal data and time-to-event data. These models possess many valuable features which make them the most appropriate to use for testing key hypotheses in drug use research and HIV/AIDS research using intensive longitudinal data. The proposed new models allow effects to vary over time and changing across individual subjects, and keep the structure of random error process very flexible. We further propose estimation procedures for the proposed new models. We plan to develop software to implement the proposed procedure and assess the performance of the proposed procedures by extensive Monte Carlo simulations. We further plan to apply the new procedures we have developed to address important questions in substance use and HIV/AIDS research areas using intensive longitudinal data on HIV/AIDS and on tobacco, alcohol and marijuana.
Tobacco, alcohol and marijuana are the most widely used substances within the US and have been linked to a myriad of both short and long-term consequences. Findings in this project will help public health researchers to undertand the natural history of HIV infection, including the progression of HIV infection to AIDS, and the etiology of drug use and dependence and further inform drug use and treatment efforts.

China Tightens Rules on News Organizations' Social MediaBloomberg News
China's media regulator stepped up controls on news organizations' use of social media, including barring the retransmission of content from overseas media and websites without permission.
The State Administration of Radio Film and Television also said that editorial employees must get permission to set up microblogs for work purposes and to release any information they acquire when on duty, according an article dated yesterday on the regulator's online publication chinaxwcb.com.
The rules also ban the publication of rumors, urge reporters to focus on "positive" publicity and prohibit the publication of materials from freelance writers, civil-society groups and commercial organizations without approval, it said.
China, the world's largest Internet market by users, censors social-media comments critical of the ruling Communist Party. The government also seeks to ensure that news available online comes from the nation's official media.

Random England fact:
The Equestrian term "canter" comes from the name Canterbury. Pilgrims on their way to Canterbury to visit the shrine of famous martyr Thomas à Becket, would ride at a "Canterbury Trot" as they approached the city, which was less tiring than a gallop. The term was later shortened to canter.

Don't you hate it when you're overheated and try to use your keys as a fan with less than stellar results? Well like so many things in life, Sailor Moon has you covered.
In the name of the moon I shall fan you!
This is a Keychain fan with a Chibi Usagi topper and says Sailor moon S across the actual fan part. As though having a fan at your finger tips at any moment isn't exciting enough this one also pops open with a quick release button. When heat strikes, hit the little button in the handle and BAM! instant fan cooling power. When the heat wave subsides, you just pop it back into the handle and it clicks into closed position, sleeping once again, awaiting it's time to be the heat avenger once more...
On a more serious note this is a cute item, and we do legitimately like it, but one does have to wonder who exactly needs a keychain fan with a quick action button as a functional item?
Don't forget to stop by our shop:
This item really isn't that strange. There are a lot of character branded toothbrushes and have been for years (at least from the 70's that I've personally seen) so it makes sense that a popular kid's show like Sailor Moon would get them. Unlike some of the other North American items from this period they don't even look that bad.
OK, so they don't look great either, but cute in their own way. It is a weird thing to collect though which is why these are in the oddities collection. Ours is almost a full set of the senshi that were made, but they did make a tuxedo mask as well which we're missing. It seems likely most moon collectors have no idea that they could be brushing their teeth with the sailor senshi on a regular basis. Though honestly these are at least 16 years old, putting them in ones mouth is a horrifying prospect.
We've rarely seen these in other collections so they're, unique, if not rare. We're happy to have them.
Don't forget to stop by our shop:

Just Click Cornelius the Octopus below to join the list.

Don't forget to stop by our shop:
There are a lot of Sailor Moon toiletries, toothbrushes, bubble bath, hairbrushes and more. In that illustrious tradition we bring you the Sailor Moon Bath Salts Set:
There are actually several sets of Japanese bath salts sets, but this one is our favorite since it has individual packets in their own box and each packet has unique images on the front and the back . The best one by far is Tuxedo Mask who takes his top hat and mask into the tub with him. Though the weird fish in with Luna is also an eyebrow raiser. On the subject of Luna, she must sort of fail at being a cat if she needs bath salts and a bath instead of just grooming herself normally.
We don't read much Japanese so we sadly don't know what scents these are, but we're pretty sure if we were to use these 20 year old bath salts, which we aren't because we don't want to be zombies, but we feel confident we'd end up Sailor fresh and ready to take on evil.
PS We have this same set available in our store right now. If you buy them and decide to open them please let us know what they smell like. :)
Don't forget to stop by our shop:
This is one of those things that's odd in it's practically. It's a completely utilitarian useful item made crazy with weird branding. So here is the official Sailor Moon Chibiusa Flu Mask:
This is an officially licensed item from Korea, but seems like it ought to be a bootleg. We have a LOT of crazy Sailor Moon stuff, but this is one of the strangest. Flu Masks are pretty ubiquitous all over Asia during cold and flu season, but they're usually the white variety or occasionally have a little pattern on them. This one lets you have all the Princess Chibiusa in the middle of your face which is a little weird. It's a child sized mask, a very small child sized mask, so we can't just put it on and show you how strange looking it is.
On the upside it's got a princess Chibiusa on it and there aren't many items which feature her. It's pretty unique too, we've only seen 3 of these. It's probably a good thing though a sea of these things would be creepy.
Don't forget to stop by our shop:
As we've noted before we generally don't deal with bootleg items, but every so often one is just so amusing or so out there we have no choice but to not only pick it up, but to share it as well. So here we have a lovely Sailor Moon "Tea Set"
The Made In China notification seems painfully redundant here, where else could this have come from?
It's hard to even know to where to begin with this thing. I guess I'll just start at the top. We have Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibimoon, who seem to be engaging in some underage drinking. Chibiusa clearly can not hold her liquor, if her dribbles down the front of the package are any indication. They could concievably be drinking something non alcholic, but most of us don't drink juice out of champagne flutes.
Next to our smiling inebriated Sailor Senshi we have the Official title of this item "Fun Tea Play Set." Now before I even start to point out the inaccuracies with that title, I have to wonder what sort of tea they have that's fun. I've had A LOT of tea, there are roughly 20 varieties of tea in our pantry just right now and none of them are fun. Tea can be delicious, it can be warm, it can be rich and it can even be complex, but it isn't fun. There aren't too many people having wild tea parties. You have tea parties so you can dress up and eat little cakes, and they're fun in their own way, but it has little to do with the tea itself.
Moving on, this is a set of wine goblets, 2 forks, 2 spoons, and 2 plates, which is certainly a food serving set, but it's far from a tea set. I mean you could maybe put cookies and cucumber sandwiches on your plates, though they're a little large for that, but tea doesn't go in goblets. That's just a non negotiable fact, if they were the cut glass they're supposed to resemble and you put hot tea in it, unless you're having a tea part in a dimension where the laws of thermodynamics cease to apply, you're going to have a hot if not scalded hand.
So finally we've worked our way to the bottom of the package where over in the corner (though it's hard to see in pictures because it's under the packaging bubble) for reason that will never be clear, Santa Claus and 2 Reindeer are shown having a picnic...seriously. It's the big incomprehensible cherry on this crack item sundae.
Even for a bootleg this might be one of the most illogical sailor moon items ever even in the face of things such as the car pencil box and the Jupiter mini skateboard water game. So on one item we have underage drinking, FUN tea, a scalded hand and Santa Claus. It's glorious in it's own horrible way.

How to check your electrical system is safe
There are some tell-tale signs that your system is out of date and unsafe to work on (old-style rubber-sheathed cable, for example). But even if you live in a modern house with an electrical system that's been professionally checked and approved in the past ten years, things can still go wrong. So make sure it's safe before you begin work.
If you're in any doubt, get it checked by a qualified electrician.

We're Entering the Era of Augmented Hearing and White Noise
NEWS ANALYSIS: Augmented hearing gives you total control over the sounds of your environment. And it's coming to an ear canal near you.We live in an attention economy. Every Website, game, video, TV show, meme and social media post demands your attention. But success in this world is based in large part on your ability to direct your attention to productive tasks. Author Cal Newport calls "Deep Work" the secret to achieving great things. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign found that ambient background noise—the kind you'll encounter at a local coffee shop—measurably boosts creativity and productivity. And this idea definitely resonates with me. As a writer, I concentrate for a living. But as I'm crafting words in my head, I find the cognitive load vastly higher if two people in the room are having a conversation or if someone is talking on the phone. I also get distracted from annoying sounds outside—for example, a neighbor's dog spends much of the day barking.
Distractions such as those are devastating to my craft.

This review is from: Movado Sportivo Women's Quartz Watch 0606482
Pros: Great watch - received it after few days in all packaging with warranty card and additional bag and cloth from Ashford - did a great job on the packaging, no doubt about it. Really happy for the wonderful Thanksgiving present.
Cons: Adjusting the bracelet was a huge pain - I could not take a single element out - took it to a watch repair store, they bended few pins and said they have never seen such a tight bracelet from Movado before.
Other Thoughts: Great price - if you look at many other places, it is still few hundred dollars more expensive.READ FULL REVIEW

Type: Bug
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 1.5.1, nightly
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: kernel, transports
When running a standalone Axis2 server and a multipart Http request is received, the org.apache.axis2.builder.MultipartFormDataBuilder will throw an exception: "Cannot create DocumentElement without HttpServletRequest".
Reason for this is that the Axis2 Http server wraps the incoming http request into an AxisHttpRequest and there is no HttpServletRequest available.

A sample web service that can be used to demonstrate the problem - deploy to a standalone Axis2 server and invoke it with multipart REST request.
A sample Maven/Eclipse project with a JUnit test that demonstrates the problem.
This can be solved by providing custom implementation of org.apache.commons.fileupload.RequestContext that supports handling of an AxisHttpRequest.
Afterwards, the following simple modifications will do the trick:
1. When serving a request, the HTTPWorker will need to set the AxisHttpRequest in the MC
2. The MultipartFormDataBuilder will check for an AxisHttpRequest if it does not find an HttpServletRequest and will use the custom "AxisHttpRequestContext" implementation to extract the multipart parameters.
I created a patch, but it was mean for Axis2 1.4.1 and it is not very appropriate for Axis2 1.5 since the http transport classes are moved to a separate module and the MultipartFormDataBuilder is not able to reference them anymore.
As a workaround I provided a new MultipartFormDataBuilder in the http transport module, which extends the one in axis2 kernel.
If running Axis2 standalone , users will need to specify that one in the axis2.xml, e.g.:
<messageBuilder contentType="multipart/form-data" class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.MultipartFormDataBuilder"/>
Is should be possible to use some factory mechanism to avoid having two MultipartFormDataBuilder implementations. But this would require some design changes which I will leave to you.

INDIANAPOLIS -- They've snarled traffic, made cheesy mustaches fashionable and drawn a bigger crowd for practice than their fabled fieldhouse can hold. One of the players even got asked to prom.
INDIANAPOLIS -- They've snarled traffic, made cheesy mustaches fashionable and drawn a bigger crowd for practice than their fabled fieldhouse can hold. One of the players even got asked to prom.
Butler is enjoying the kind of lovefest that Michigan State saw at last year's Final Four -- and then some. Playing a mere 5.6 miles from their campus, the Bulldogs have brought what seems like the whole Hoosier state along for their first appearance on college basketball's biggest stage.
Who knew there were that many Butler alums out there?
"Just turning every corner and seeing Butler shirts, Butler jerseys, Butler hats, any kind of Butler apparel on every corner, I don't think it gets much better than that," point guard Ronald Nored said Friday. "I think that could be the case if we were playing anywhere, but for it to be here in Indianapolis makes it even more special."
Butler (32-4) plays Michigan State (28-8) in the first semifinal today.
On paper, playing at home would seem to be a huge advantage: You're the overwhelming fan favorite; a long red light on the trek from campus is the extent of your travel drama; and there's no need to scout out restaurants or practice sites.
All that enthusiasm also can cause a headache. When the Spartans made it to last year's Final Four in recession-battered Detroit, 90 miles from campus, almost 10,000 fans showed up just for a pep rally at a suburban mall.
"It comes with a lot of fun and excitement. But it also comes with distractions, as well," said Draymond Green, whose hometown of Saginaw, Mich., is two hours north of Detroit. "You know everyone. Everyone just wants to be around, from someone you knew in kindergarten to someone you just met last week.
"It's a big difference from just being in town for a regular-season game."
Of the 10 previous schools who played in a Final Four in their home state, five won it all. But it hasn't been done since 1975, when UCLA won in San Diego.
Now, the Spartans aren't blaming their shellacking by North Carolina in last year's title game on the distractions of being so close to home. Coach Tom Izzo jokes that he could have brought an All-Star team and still not made a run at the Tar Heels.
In fact, the Spartans fed off the crowd in their semifinal upset of Connecticut. Few states were hit worse by the economic crisis than Michigan, the heart of the U.S. auto industry, and Izzo made sure his players embraced their chance to lift a beleaguered state.
Butler isn't shouldering quite as heavy a burden. Basketball is ingrained in Indiana's identity, but it has been a rough stretch lately for the state's three big-name schools. Indiana had its second straight losing season. Notre Dame got bounced out in the first round in the NCAA tournament. And Purdue, a dark horse pick for the Final Four a few weeks ago, became an underdog after Robbie Hummel went down.
Leave it to little Butler -- enrollment 4,200 -- to give Hoosier fans some hope.
"This is unique," Butler coach Brad Stevens acknowledged. "It certainly is a different level of energy and enthusiasm for Butler than ever before. ... Right next to my hotel room, I will say I can hear 'One Shining Moment' followed by the Butler fight song. It's like on repeat.
"You take more pride, get more excited about that than anything else."

The frustration for Wigan Athletic is that even as the door finally closed on them last night, as it did firmly in the second half, they did have their foot in it and a brief chance to escape.
There was an 18-minute period at the start of the second half, before they were washed away into the Championship, when they might have won this game. It would have been an astonishing escape, an unlikely triumph, but that has been the story of Wigan's eight years in the Premier League. That was the story of their FA Cup run, after all.
The fact that it might have ended other than how it did is testament itself to the effort and commitment of their exhausted players. Roberto Martinez said he could not have been prouder of his players and they somehow dragged themselves into a competitive position.
Even here, running on empty, playing the league's form team, who were fitter and faster and better, Wigan began the second half level. Callum McManaman went down in the box, Arouna Kone shot at Wojciech Szczesny, Shaun Maloney blazed over and James McCarthy had a goal disallowed for offside. Martinez said that if Kone had scored his chance he "guaranteed" Wigan would have won the game and while that is bold and unknowable, the Emirates crowd certainly would not have made it easy for Arsenal.
Any of those might have gone differently, and they might have woken up this morning on 38 points and anticipating Sunday. But they did not and so Wigan will not. Sunday, now, will be a homecoming for the cup winners but a goodbye to the Premier League too.
They did remarkably to get this far, to get level with Arsenal at the break, to get into the Premier League and then to stay here for eight good years. But ultimately they left themselves with too much to do. For Wigan to stay up required imagination, energy, resourcefulness and good fortune. Last night, in the second half, three days after their greatest ever day, they finally seemed to run out.
This game, of course, was not a play-off, even if it felt like one. It was the 37 game of a league season and had Wigan beaten Swansea City at home last Tuesday night then they would not have needed to win last night to stay alive. Even before then there were home defeats to Fulham and Sunderland and home draws with Southampton and Queens Park Rangers. Martinez said this was their most consistent season but they did not seem to find their form quickly enough.
Wigan have always flirted with ludicrously slim margins, looking in previous years as if they were playing chicken with the drop. They have started slowly but then found their rhythm at the last viable moment. This year, with two big games at Wembley as well, they did not have the resources or the energy to change course. Three days after an exhausting cup final, chasing Manchester City all over the Wembley pitch, this would have been their greatest escape yet.
The nerves and the fatigue told from the start.
James McCarthy and Jordi Gomez, two of the imaginative architects of Saturday's cup triumph, gifted away possession in the first 10 minutes. Gomez's slip set up the attack which brought the corner from which Wigan conceded, the concentration required to mark Arsenal's one forward seemingly beyond them.
It was immediately clear which team had last played 10 days before, and which game had lost one draining game and won another in that period. There was almost nothing in Wigan's legs, and so few of their moves that won them the cup were coming off. Callum McManaman could not get past Kieran Gibbs like he did Gael Clichy while there was no burst left in the legs of wingbacks James McArthur or Roger Espinoza. Wigan were hitting passes in front of themselves, wishing they had more in the tank.
Arsenal's players looked far fitter and stronger, as well they might. Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey were able to break challenges at will while Wigan just did not have the legs to get near Tomas Rosicky and Santi Cazorla in midfield.
They could have easily wilted under the weight of Arsenal's pace and the noise of the crowd but they did not, and just hung in the game. They did not have the pace they did on Saturday so they played with their brains first, keeping their shape in defence, playing offside and conserving energy in possession.
The waves of Arsenal attacks started to slow down. Wigan had to be cannier but they were, Shaun Maloney twice winning free-kicks from Mikel Arteta 25 yards out. The first time Gomez's kick hit the wall so the next time Maloney took it himself, from just further out than his famous Loftus Road equaliser. Maloney produced the same result. Like McCarthy, Kone, McManaman and others, Maloney has no business playing in the Championship next year and might well be off this summer.
So Wigan, drained, desperate and on opposition territory, were level at the break. The crowd were turning and one more goal could have given them a crucial lead. From there, victory, 38 points and a chance to clamber over Aston Villa and do it all again next season. But it did not happen. This time, even more so than ever before, Wigan needed to be lucky and perfect but their chances did not go in, and then Arsenal's did. This evening, finally, gravity reasserted itself.

MENIFEE: Autistic boy remains missing despite search by hundreds
An 11-year-old autistic boy remains missing, despite the efforts of more than 100 volunteers and emergency workers who combed the hills of Menifee Monday, July 8, looking for the child.
Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. was last seen at his home in the 33000 block of Helen Lane around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 6, according to sheriffâs Deputy Albert Martinez.
The boyâs older brother was watching him while the mother went out for the evening, according to Sophia Masih, a friend of the family. Terryâs mother discovered the boy was missing in the morning around 10:30 a.m., according to Deputy Martinez.
âWhen they woke up in the morning he wasnât there,â Martinez said.
Terry is white with blond hair and blue eyes. He stands 4-foot-8, weighs 76 pounds, according to the sheriffâs department. He was last seen wearing blue basketball shorts, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. He also responds to the nickname âJuJu.â
He has high-functioning autism and takes medication for it.
The sheriffâs department launched a search Sunday morning, which included bloodhounds, helicopters and troops on horseback. The search continued day and night since, Martinez said.
High temperatures, which topped 100 on Monday, added urgency to the search, Martinez said.
âThe concern is how easy it is to dehydrate,â Martinez said.
Investigators have seen no evidence the boy was kidnapped but âweâre not ruling anything out,â Martinez said.
Investigators located the boyâs father, who lives out of state, and determined he is not a suspect, according to the deputy.
âTo our knowledge thereâs no contact between him and the child,â Martinez said.
Officials also investigated all known local sex offenders and none is suspect, according to Martinez.
âThose were definitely areas of concern for us,â he said.

Usually when an automaker presents multiple models at an auto show, the higher profile car takes center stage, and attendees who come early sit up front for the best seats in the house. But Acura curiously pulled a switcharoo, causing confusion as the company's showstopping Acura NSX concept was unveiled off to the very rear (to the delight of the latecomers) as almost as a side note. In front of them lay the still-shrouded MDX concept, but at that point the SUV seemed irrelevant—even though Acura marketing chief Mike Accavitti futilely insisted it was "the star of the show." I quickly ditched my spot near the main stage and went to the NSX, never looking back.
At first glance, the Acura NSX looks the same as did when it was first unveiled last year—that is to say, beautiful. But there are small changes around which suggest the design is closer to production. From the side, the invisible B-pillar looks thicker and moved forward, and the front sees the most prominent external change, with the grill using a smaller shield design, and vented mesh inserts finishing the lower half of the bumper. On a side note, Acura should adopt this iteration of the Power Plenum across their other models.
The big news is that we finally get to peer inside, and the clean, alcantara-accented cabin suits the NSX's supercar cred. A traditional analog dash is replaced with a digital screen, and what looks like a touchscreen in the center console defines what Acura calls a "Simple Sports Display," which aims to decrease interior clutter with intuitive software. Mechanically the concept remains unchanged, and the car will be an all-wheel-drive sport hybrid with three electric motors—two at the front wheels, and one integrated with the V-6 engine.
Acura's MDX SUV concept reveal reflects the company's weakness in recent years: there's little to get excited about in its upcoming line-up — MDX and flagship RLX included. Then again, next to Acura's highly anticipated halo car, almost any ride will look dull.
