Sticky business: Honors College student tapes her way through the looking glass
For her Honors College senior thesis this past December, Virginia Walker handed in a stunning collection of costumes made for six major characters in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
"We're seeing more projects like Virginia's. ... We're encouraging them to think outside the box."
What makes the costumes so interesting is that they were made entirely of colorful duct tape, form fitted to the students who served as models for the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit, and so on.
"The first thing I made of duct tape was a purse in high school," says Walker, who graduated in December and now lives back home in Colleyville, Texas. "I made my prom dresses out of duct tape for my junior and senior proms, too."
Duct tape computes for ex-theatre major
Virginia Walker
When she enrolled at Carolina, Walker was a theatre major and took a few costume design courses. She switched to computer science in her sophomore year, but she never lost her love for costume design--and duct tape.
"I got interested in Alice in Wonderland in high school after watching the movie and reading the book," she said. "I learned that Carroll was a brilliant mathematician--he put all kinds of clever puzzles and logic problems in the book, and that appealed to me because I love math.
"I'm going to work in the computer science field, but making things of out of duct tape hasn't stopped. I'd like to reproduce paintings with duct tape."

Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a mile-high adventure as Boeing Boeing flies back into town! Come June, W!LD RICE's acclaimed production of this Tony Award-winning comedy will have audiences rolling in the aisles of the Victoria Theatre.
W!LD RICE's Boeing Boeing first opened at Raffles Hotel's Jubilee Hall in October 2002. It was the first production to set the play in Asia. Due to overwhelming popular demand, Boeing Boeing has been re-staged twice – in 2005 at the Victoria Theatre and in 2010 at the Drama Centre Theatre. All three productions played to sold-out houses.
15 years later, Boeing Boeing soars back onto our radar in the capable hands of director Pam Oei, who was part of the casts of both the 2002 and 2005 productions.
"Boeing Boeing ranks right up there as one of the most favourite shows I have ever performed in," says Oei. "It's a tight, laugh-a-minute script and there is no feeling on earth that can compare to what goes on inside an actor as he or she makes the entire theatre roar deliriously with laughter. It's the best feeling in the world!"
She is looking forward to providing top-notch in-flight entertainment for audiences with the help of a brand-new company of artists and theatre-makers.
Some of Singapore's finest, funniest actors will take centre stage in Boeing Boeing, including Rodney Oliveiro, Shane Mardjuki, Oon Shu An and Judee Tan.
Behind the scenes, award-winning designers Eucien Chia, James Tan and Frederick Lee will be bringing their formidable talents to bear on the set, lighting and costumes respectively.
"I greatly admire the work of everyone in this powerful creative team, and can't wait to get this flight off the ground with them!" Oei observes. "Audiences are in for the time of their lives."
"Nurturing local talents both on stage and off has been part of W!LD RICE's mission from the very beginning," says Ivan Heng, Artistic Director of W!LD RICE. "We're so pleased to see Pam go from performing in to taking the reins on one of the funniest shows that has ever played on a Singapore stage!"
Tickets to Boeing Boeing go on sale via SISTIC from now. Patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets promptly to take full advantage of a special discount scheme that incentivises early booking.

Justice Department snooped on Fox reporter
(Scott Baker) A story posted by The Washington Post on Sunday Evening will stir new debate and review over the tactics used by the Obama administration to monitor how journalists interact with government sources.
The reporter in focus — James Rosen a top Washington Correspondent for Fox News.
The case begins back in 2009. The Post's Ann E. Marimow:
When the Justice Department began investigating possible leaks of classified information about North Korea in 2009, investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material.
They used security badge access records to track the reporter's comings and goings from the State Department, according to a newly obtained court affidavit. They traced the timing of his calls with a State Department security adviser suspected of sharing the classified report. They obtained a search warrant for the reporter's personal e-mails.

U.S. Rowing official release
PHILADELPHIA - Former Penn rower Susan Francia, C'04, earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic women's rowing team Friday and will represent her alma mater and country in London, July 28-August 5. Francia won gold in the event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and most recently won gold in the women's eight at the 2011 World Championships in September.
Francia, who joined the Penn women's rowing team as a sophomore walk-on, lettered for the Quakers in 2003 and 2004. In Beijing, the Abington, Pa., native helped the United States to its first Olympic gold in the women's eight since 1984. At the 2011 World Championships in Bled, Slovenia, she aided the U.S. to its sixth straight world title, and at the 2009 World Championships in Poznan, Poland, she was also a double gold medalist (women's eight, women's pair).
"I am so happy for Susan to reach this amazing goal for a second time," women's rowing head coach Mike Lane said. "I know she struggled with injuries all year, and to get in that 8+ is extremely impressive."
As sheapproaches hersecond Olympic Games, Francia is the 11th Penn women's rower to make the Olympics. Prior to her appearance in Beijing, the last Quaker to appear in the Olympics was Sarah Garner, who collected a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney (Australia) Games. This will mark the eighth Olympic Games in which the Penn women's rowing team has had a representative.
"Susan means a great deal to this program," said Coach Lane. "Not only is she a role model and inspiration to our athletes; she is a role model to all women aspiring to make the national team. She is amazing in that she has not forgotten her roots and is extremely supportive of Penn Rowing, coming back multiple times to share her stories and work with our new generation of rowers. I cannot wait to hear the newest stories this fall, and hopefully she will come back with another Olympic gold medal to share."
The rest of the women's eight will consist of coxswain Mary Whipple (Orangevale, Calif.), Caryn Davies (Ithaca, N.Y.), Caroline Lind (Greensboro, N.C.), Eleanor Logan (Boothbay Harbor, Maine), Meghan Musnicki (Naples, N.Y.), Taylor Ritzel (Larkspur, Colo.), Erin Cafaro (Modesto, Calif.), and Esther Lofgren (Newport Beach, Calif.).
Selection for the women's eight and men's and women's quads was determined based on lineup evaluations, national selection regatta results and training camp performance in Princeton, N.J., and Chula Vista, Calif., under U.S. head coaches Tom Terhaar and Tim McLaren.
In total, 12 crews will represent the United States at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. For more information about important USRowing dates, the 2012 Olympic Games selection process and Olympic athlete bios, visit www.usrowing.org.

"The youngest old man any of us knows," an unnamed friend of Atlantic Publisher David Bradley said of Hughes.
As one of the few people on the planet who has been through what Lewinsky has, Hughes said she hopes to get in touch with her.

WATCH: Foo Fighters make Mexico ad with Erik Estrada
Listen to Foo Fighters on iHeartRadio
It turns out Erik Estrada had something to do with getting the Foo Fighters together for their upcoming concerts in Mexico City.
In a new promotional clip from the band, the former "CHiPs" star rides around on his motorcycle telling each member about the Foo Fighters' return to the stage. They're responses are, rather appropriately, overdubbed in Spanish.
Frontman Dave Grohl promises to make a "delicious chicken," while some of his bandmates talk about how clean and hot Mexico will be.
The Foo Fighters are scheduled to head south of the border for a pair of shows at Mexico City's Foro Sol on December 11th and 13th. The gigs will be their first ever in Mexico, and their first anywhere in more than a year.

Why I Need Feminism: Overcoming My Self-Loathing
As a kid I was very chubby and sturdy, but that all changed once puberty kicked in. People wondered if I went on a diet to lose weight when I was younger, but my eating habits hadn't changed. This complacency didn't last for very long, though. As I entered high school, I realized that I began to look at my body a lot and focus on my weight more than before. These percolating thoughts soon impregnated themselves deep into views on my body and self-esteem.
In October, I was already considered thin for my 5'5″ frame, but by the end of December, I made it my New Years' resolution to lose 10lbs. In my head, I was just going to cut down on what I ate. Of course, this easily …

Constipated baby - advice appreciated
My poor little lad is having some problems doing a poo (if you'll excuse my frankness!). He poos about 3 times a week and he seems to find it really uncomfortable straining and pushing and then his bottom looks a bit red afterwards. He is breastfed and we follow baby led weaning. I wonder if he is having enough water? I do offer him water throughout the day but he doesn't have much - how important is this given he is still breastfeeding?
I offer him lots of fruit, vegetables and also foods like meat, yoghurt and sometimes pasta or rice but he chooses which food to eat himself so this can vary day to day. Is there anything else I could do to help him?

Yes, you should go ahead and offer him water throughout the day. Let him drink it out of a training cup or offer him sips off of your water. Getting plenty of water can do wonders for constipation. I would also incorporate more fiber into his diet and maybe try some prune juice every now and then (I always water it down quite a bit) I would also mention it to his paeditrician and see what they recommend.
Good Luck! Hope things get moving smoothly soon for your little lad

I agree with DoubleSunshine. Water can be helpful and so can prune juice. Often times babies will become constipated when they start on cereal. This might be around 6 months or sometimes a bit earlier or later, depending upon how soon mom wants to start it. Cereal (and the pasta/rice you mentioned above) can bind the stool (cause constipation). When this happens, I encourage mom to try giving pureed prunes at the same meal as cereal. For a 6 month old this might look like mixing prunes with the cereal and breast milk, water or formula. Or maybe mom just prefers to give cereal first and then offers prunes afterwards (I personally liked to see mom mix prunes with cereal because then we knew baby would be getting both).
For an older child (one who has teeth and is "chewing" food) you could pour hot water over a prune and let it soak for a 1/2 hour or more. When it's good and soft, chop it up into little pieces and let baby pick up the pieces or offer on a spoon.
Prune juice can be helpful too, if you find your child really likes to drink and will drink the juice (they typically need more of the juice than they do of the actual prune).
Aside from the benefits of prunes, you'll want to be sure you're child is eating plenty of vegetables and some fruit. This can be steamed vegetables for the older child, and pureed vegetables for the younger child. If your child still eats baby food, try steaming some vegetables until nice and soft, then puree with added water to the consistency you like. You can then pour the pureed vegetable mixture into ice cube trays. When they are frozen, just pop them out and store in a freezer zip bag. Makes it easy to use later - just warm and serve.
If the child is older, you can steam the vegetables and cut into little, bite sized pieces. Flash freeze on a tray in the freezer (don't let them touch each other) and when they are frozen just put them in a freezer bag or a glass container with lid, if you want to avoid plastic. When it's time to eat, just pull a few pieces out and let them thaw, or warm and serve. The easier you make it on yourself, the more you'll serve your child vegetables, and the more vegetables he eats, the more "regular" he should become.
Does this give you some ideas? Anyone else have any ideas for alleviating constipation, encouraging a child to eat or drink more, or just making food prep easier for mom?
28th February 2012 04:16 AM #4
Thank you for this - today's pooing was without drama which is fantastic (you know you're a mum when you get pleased about you child's poo, right?!). I've been offering lots more water in the last few days.
I am really keen to ensure he does not get constipated again so I have taken both Kate and DoubleSunshine's advice and got some prunes. I'm also offering more snacks of dried fruit (he likes apricots) and veg throughout the day.
I agree Kate that handy, easy to prepare veg are the way forward. I'm going to make sure I always carry around some of these pre-prepared veg snacks from now on too so he has them available whenever we are out.
I'll let you know how it goes!

That's bad enough. But these efforts, as contained in a bill introduced by Sen. Seitz, SB 58, would make our air dirtier in the process. This corporate-welfare bill must be stopped.The good laws Sen.

Unfortunately, there's no prize... But instead i'll give you a hint regarding your problem... HINT!
Hi all.
First of all let me appreciate the work of remote-exploit. This is a great site.
I have a problem with wicd, after installing backtrack 4 to HDD.
I am able to play very well with the air-crack suite (i demonstrated how it's simple to crack a WEP in a lab - 15 mins with active injection - and attendees were going mad... Noone is going to use WEP anymore :-) )
I have such a stupid (i think) problem: wicd doesn't start at all. I mean i click on wicd from the menu and nothing appears.
i tried to start it as root, to stop monitor mode first, to launch X as root.
Nothing worked.
Can please someone help?
Thank you in advance.
Unfortunately, there's no prize... But instead i'll give you a hint regarding your problem... HINT!
open up konsole, and type in wicd. out put should be this
then try opening up wicd again from the menu.
"/etc/init.d/wicd start" < BT4 Pre Final
"/etc/init.d/NetworkManager start" <BT4 Beta (CASE SENSITIVE)
:cool::cool:Alienware M17x - Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme QX9300
Dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M GPUs
Dual 500GB:cool::cool:
you must go to services >> Network >> start network
I like to use just terminal:
First give command: 'wicd' which executes '/var/run/wicd/wicd.pid'
Then just give command 'wicd-client' and wicd appears in tray-menu.
After you have connected to your desired network just Ctrl-C and the tray-menu item will disapear.
Just my two cents, hope this helped.

March 7, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Clint Dowdle, current Assistant Athletics Director for Football at Bowling Green, has been named Assistant Athletics Director for Administration, Kansas State Athletics Director John Currie announced today.
In his new role, Dowdle will be a member of Currie's senior staff and serve as the daily sport liaison for the football program. In addition, Dowdle will support the daily operations of several other sports as well as equipment operations while also managing special projects and coordinating department communication with the KSA Board of Directors.
"Clint is a dynamic young professional who will bring tremendous energy to our staff," said Currie. "He has an extensive background working with football in an administrative capacity and will be a terrific fit for K-State. I appreciate the work done in this search by committee chair Laird Veatch and committee members Sean Snyder, Jill Shields, Lindsey Babcock and Casey Scott in organizing and successfully carrying out this national search."
Dowdle currently is beginning his fifth year overall as the director of football operations at Bowling Green State University and his second as an Assistant Athletics Director for Football.
"I am absolutely thrilled to become a member of the Kansas State Athletics Department," Dowdle said. "I am thankful to John Currie and the rest of the senior management team for providing me with this great opportunity. The substantial success of K-State Athletics, under the direction of John and leadership of President Schulz, has been remarkable, and I have long admired Coach Snyder and the principles of his program. This is a special time at K-State, and I am grateful for the opportunity to become a member of the Wildcat family."
At BGSU, Dowdle has overseen external and internal operations for the football program and is a member of the department's senior staff. In this role, he works closely with the development, marketing, and external relations of the athletic department and specifically as it relates to football. He also spear-headed the Locker Room Renovation Project in 2012 and established the Gridiron Classic in 2009.
Prior to arriving at Bowling Green, Dowdle served as a Graduate Assistant at the University of Tennessee before being hired as the assistant director of football operations. The Memphis, Tenn., native earned his business management degree in 2005 from Christian Brothers University, where he was a four-year basketball starter and three year captain. He led the team in minutes, assists and steals all four years and twice was named Academic All-Gulf South Conference. Dowdle earned his master's degree in Sport Management from The University of Tennessee in 2007.
Dowdle captured high school All-State honors in both basketball and football at Evangelical Christian School, quarterbacking ECS to a pair of football state titles while earning Tennessee's Mr. Football Back of the Year award his senior season.

Love these sandals
By Sherry the traveler
from Amherst, MA USA
I bought these sandals because I have planters fasciitis and was about to leave on a vacation where I would be walking a lot. I ordered them with rush delivery, and they came on time. From the moment I put them on, my feet felt comfortable, and during the whole two weeks of walking and sightseeing, I never had a single problem. I love these sandals, and will buy more in other colors.

After a bout of plantar fasciitis I looked every where for shoes with built in arch support that looked good. These sandals are wonderful, comfortable and stylish. I love the many ways they can be adjusted with the velcro straps. I had no trouble using them for the first time and they are the sandals of choice whenever I go out. They will definitely go on holiday abroad with me and I will be purchasing more in the future.

Clydesdales take top honors in USC ad poll
By Megan Sexton, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-1421
The Budweiser Clydesdales rode off with the coveted Cocky Award for the best Super Bowl commercial in the University of South Carolina's 10th Super Ad Poll.
The spot, which tells the story of the bond between a Clydesdale and its trainer and features the song "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac, came in first in the overall, likeability and brand identity categories. It finished second in persuasiveness.
More than 100 students in advertising professor Bonnie Drewniany's "Super Bowl of Advertising" class gathered Sunday evening to watch the commercials (and the game). The students critiqued the national ads that aired during the game for likeability, persuasiveness and brand identity.
"Budweiser had great brand ID and had a sweet story," said Drewniany, who has studied Super Bowl advertising for more than 20 years.
The students voted the Tide Joe Montana Stain ad second and the Oreos Cookie Debate placed third. In the online voting open to the general public, the Clydesdale ad was the clear winner, followed by the Paul Harvey farmer/Ram truck ad.
Student Kim Barrett, a senior public relations major from Philadelphia, said the Clydesdales ad was her top choice.
"Budweiser told a story in 30 seconds and captivated the Super Bowl audience with their classic Clydesdales," she said. "I also enjoyed it because it is a reflection of the brand. They didn't try and use sophomoric humor or bad celebrity endorsements. They stayed true to the brand and went with a concept that has been successful in the past and that's why it worked."
One common theme this year that was not evident in previous years was the integration of Twitter into the ads, Barrett said.
"Pretty much all of the commercials had a hashtag on screen during the entire commercial or on the last frame with the brand name. By using hashtags, brands were trying to encourage viewers to talk about their commercials on the second screen - iPads and smartphones. Companies could follow what the Super Bowl audience thought about their ad by following the hashtags associated with their commercials," she said.
Dominique Johnson, a senior broadcast journalism major from Columbia, said she also favored the Budweiser Clydesdales ad because it was "emotional, funny and didn't go over the edge with stupid jokes or slapstick comedy."
"When the farmer drove to Chicago to see his horse, I started tearing up, and that's how I knew it was good," Johnson said.
She also wasn't a fan of the Go Daddy commercial, featuring a long kiss between a model and a geek (which ranked close to the bottom in the USC student poll).
"No one needs a close up of people kissing for over 10 seconds. Ever. Under any circumstance," she said.
Advertising major Hunter Scofield of LaPlata, Md., said his top pick was the Oreo cookie or cream debate commercial.
"It was extremely likable since it takes place in a library and as a college student that's my second home, but it's also a debate many of us has had, or will now have," Scofield said.
This is the 10th year USC has offered the class that covers advertising principles and the relationship between culture and advertising. Each year, the winning advertising team has come to Columbia, S.C., to claim the Cocky award and to speak to students in the College of Mass Communications and Information Studies.
The 2012 winner was Weego the Bud Light dog.
Top five overall ads
- Budweiser Clydesdales
- Tide/Joe Montana stain
- Oreos debate
- NFL Leon Sandcastle
- Samsung Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd and LeBron James
Bottom five ads
- Kia Forte robot woman (lowest ranked)
- Ram Trucks farmer
- Go Daddy model kisses geek
- Pepsi Next party

Would the Twins consider Liriano for closer?
During Spring Training in 2010, the Twins were forced to deal with a devastating arm injury to Nathan. The closer's role was open for the taking and there were multiple options on the table. One name that was discussed for the closer role was left-handed pitcher, Francisco Liriano. In the 2010 Winter League, Liriano had created some buzz with a good performance but he had yet to return to his pre-Tommy John form. The Twins went in a different direction that offseason and dubbed Jon Rauch the closer for the start of the 2010 campaign but the thought of moving Liriano was still there.
Flash-forward to the offseason before the 2012 season and the Twins are currently without someone to fill the role of ninth inning pitcher. Terry Ryan has already announced that Glen Perkins is unlikely to serve in the closer's role for next season because the team prefers to leave as the set-up man. Another familiar name that has been thrown around is signing free agent Matt Capps to come back as the team's closer. For many Twins fans, the thought of relying on Capps is hard to swallow.
Would the Twins ever reconsider moving Liriano to the closer role?
Aside from his no-hitter in the early part of the year, the 2011 season was not a great one for Mr. Liriano. He scuffled to a 9-10 record with an ERA of 5.08 and a 1.489 WHIP. The coming season will be the last one in which he will be under team control and his future with the club is definitely in doubt. The team is going to have to see something in Liriano this season to warrant a contract for future years.
This means there is a lot on the line for Mr. Liriano in the 2012 season. He will be playing for his first free agent contract and for many players that can be a push that produces performance on the field. The Twins have seen a player like Perkins make the switch from starter to very effective relief pitcher. A move by Liriano to the bullpen could be similar to Perkins in that it would allow him to put a little something extra on his pitches. At times, the Twins saw dominating stuff from Perkins in 2011 and Liriano has not shown some of his electric stuff since his elbow surgery.
From reports, it seems that the closer for next year's version of the Twins is not currently on the roster. Ryan said when talking about the closer role in a recent interview, "I think you're wise to ultimately see if you can find a guy with experience." It is interesting to note that Nathan had no experience as a closer when Ryan traded for him from San Francisco. But if you follow the message of this quote, Liriano does not fit that stipulation and ultimately the Twins will be a better team if he returns to form in the starting rotation.
If the Twins fail to bring in a closer with experience, it will be interesting to see if Liriano's name is ever mentioned as a candidate for the closing role. In a bind, the organization has considered him in the past...
...but it seems as if another option will be the Twins ninth inning man for 2012.

I like the out-of-the-box thinking, but what would the Twins do with his rotation slot? A reliever/closer is going to be a lot cheaper than a starter.

I would be concerned about his focus and ability to control his adrenaline as a closer.
- November 29, 2011 at 8:32 AM
- SpanMan said...
This would help him with his high pitch count issues. I also remember seeing once how there was a correlation between time through the lineup and a rising opponent batting average. Closing would also eliminate that issue.

I remember hearing clamoring for Frankie in the bullpen before, and I liked it, and I'm hearing in now, and I like it. True we're already in the market for a starter and finding two starters is a lot easier than a reliever, but I think Frankie could be a great end of the game guy. Just go out there and throw gas, mix in that slider and the change up. get in, get outs, get done.

THE BLAZE by BILLY HALLOWELL (I hear Chris Mathews has never had a mother. Hmmm . . ., no one taught him better. JM)
Chris Matthews on Boston Bombings: 'Domestic Terrorists…Tend to Be on the Far Right'
Apr. 15, 2013 10:30pm
MSNBC's Chris Matthews wasted no time in questioning whether today's horrific bombing of the Boston Marathon was a politically-motivated attack.
On "Hardball" tonight, the host openly questioned whether at least a portion of the horror was an intentional attack against the Democratic Party. Matthews made his controversial comments when he assumed that a purported explosion at the JFK Library was associated with the bombings.
"I was just thinking, again, it's early; it's an early situation, but going after the Kennedy Library, not something at Bunker Hill, not something from the freedom trail or anything that kind of historic, but a modern political figure of the Democratic Party," he said "Does that tell you anything?"
These comments were uttered during an exchange with Michael Leiter, former director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center. Matthews preceded his questioning of whether the Democrats were under siege with the following statement:
"Let me ask you about domestic terrorism as a category. Normally, domestic terrorists, people tend to be on the far right, well that's not a good category, just extremists, let's call them that. Do they advertise after they do something like this? Do they try to get credit as a group or do they just hate America so much or its politics or its government that they just want to do the damage, they don't care if they get public credit, if you will?"

Hall, McPhillips Power BC Past Tusculum in Double OT, 2-1October 9, 2013
BC snapped a six-match losing skid
BREVARD, N.C.- Brevard College freshman Caleb Hall drilled home the game-winning goal in double overtime while BC picked up its first conference win, 2-1, against Tusculum Wednesday evening at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
The Tornados (3-7, 1-4 SAC) defeated Tusculum in overtime for the second consecutive season while Ryan McPhillips continued his torrid run with another goal. With the win, BC has won more games this season (three) than last (two).
The Pioneers dropped to 3-6, 1-4 SAC and all six losses have been by one goal, including four in overtime.
"It's exciting, but it comes down to hard work, hard work and hard work," said head coach and BC Athletic Director Juan Mascaro. "We stayed on track; we stayed with the game plan."
BC freshman McPhillips bounced back after missing a penalty kick and netted his team-high fifth goal when he received a feed from Marcelo Betcer and blasted it past Tusculum's Ashley Elsey in the 76th minute to give BC a 1-0 lead.
"Coaches come in and give us a system and its' worked out quite well for us," said McPhillips. "The win is a great starting point for us. The season isn't over yet."
However, the lead was short lived as the Pioneers responded when Roberto Pimental crushed a ball from 35 yards out and bested BC's Heath Turner to knot it up at 1 in the 85th minute.
The match proved to be chippie while Brevard accumulated two yellows, but Tusculum racked up three yellows and two red cards.
In the second overtime, the Tornados took advantage of the two-man favor when they fired eight shots on goal in the period. Hall was placed perfectly after an Alec Goettl shot was deflected to his feet. Hall fired in the game-winner with 1:01 remaining in the match to snap BC's six-match losing skid and to give the Tornados its second double overtime victory of the season.
BC outshot Tusculum, 17-15, and matched its season-high in shots despite being outshot 9-4 in the second half. Turner turned in three saves while Elsey impressed with seven. McPhillips and Rhem Stubbs both accumulated three shots while four other Tornados racked up two shots.
The Tornados seek consecutive wins when they travel to Wingate, N.C. for a SAC match against Wingate Friday evening at 7 p.m.

The 6-foot-9 interior player with a nice outside shot has set a decision date for December 4 a source close to the family confirmed to Scout.com. Towns, who burst onto the scene early in his high school career, holds offers from Florida, Kentucky, Rutgers, NC State, and Duke while also having made a visit to North Carolina.
This summer Towns played on the Dominican National Team which was coached by current Kentucky head man John Calipari.
Things have moved quickly recently on the decision front, and while no hints are being given out by the family in terms of a destination most of the focus has centered around Kentucky and Florida recently.

Dont ask me houw I cam across this shit, most random thing ever, wonder how she got on
My best friend called me her wife...and I liked it.?
We're both females. If you answered my previous questions, awesome, if this is new to you, that's great. maybe I can get some more input...
I think we have crushes on each other, but we're both "straight." I use that term loosely. She said she thinks she's more "gender-neutral." The first time she said that I kind of fell for her.
Anyways, last night I was hanging out with her and her boyfriend, and she was calling me her wife, and sporadically calling him her husband. She said she was telling people she had a wife, but just didn't have the ring, because we didn't need it. (again, she said we would be married if we lived in vermont...) She said less than 5% of the people she knows actually "get her," and I was one of them. When I was leaving, she asked me if I was going to make it home alright, because if I didn't, she didn't know how she would ever live without me.
Please, please tell me what to do. I've never felt this way about anyone, especially one of my best friends who is also a woman. Don't say "go for it" because I don't know what that means. Should I just kiss her? Should I say, "hey why don't we move to vermont?" Should I get her a ring? LOL I'm at a loss. I don't want to wreck our friendship, but I want to see if she's serious.
* 2 years ago
Additional Details
oh we already have the most amazing hugs...only experienced hugs like that 2 or 3 other notable times in my life. does that make it better? I could hug her forever...lol
2 years ago
I'm 26...and, no, we haven't cuddled. Not that I haven't wanted to...actually one day I went to her house to get her, and she was sleeping, and I woke her up and said if she didn't get up soon, I was gonna crawl under the covers with her. She just moved over and said "alright." But then the movie we were going to was starting in 30 minutes so we had to leave...lol. Speaking of movie, that's a really good idea...a kiss from my wife. Ya'll are awesome. (no, really I don't say "ya'll" but it seemed fitting)

Media are validated at modular touchscreen payment kiosks offering a simple user interface and multilingual voice prompts. The lockers are compatible with a variety of card systems, including LAI's Embed.
Locker payment options and rental times are fully configurable. The system supports "floating locker" service that can enable guests to pay a one-time fee for the use of lockers at different areas within a location. Wireless remote monitoring and sophisticated cash and security tracking facilitate tight management control.
LAI Games is a unit of the Leisure and Allied Industries Group, a leader in interactive entertainment around the world for more than half a century. The company is manufacturing the lockers at its 100,000-sq.ft. factory, using an Australian design.

Decorating gift packaging, such as a Cake Box or Treat Bag can seem a bit daunting at first — a small treat sack presents a suddenly huge blank canvas.
Rest assured, however, you may only need to go as far as your desk drawer, and maybe into your gift-wrapping or scrap-booking supplies, to create a unique and memorable homemade gift.
Additional tools that you may use to add greater or more precise detail to your decorations include: a craft knife; paper punch-outs; paper trimmers; pinking shears; a hot glue gun; colored pens, markers, pencils and crayons; rubber stamps and colored ink pads; stencils or templates.
A variety of papers, such as cardstock, vellum, stationery, tissue paper, wrapping paper and even newsprint are useful for covering boxes or paper bags, as well as for creating cut-outs.
Other useful materials include: Fanci-Foil or foil wrap; Cake Doilies; contact paper; fabric, including Organza or Tulle Circles; felt; foam board; ribbon, yarn, raffia and pipe cleaners; stickers or rub-on shapes and letters for personalizing gifts.
Use leftover cardstock or construction paper to create a coordinating gift tag or recipe card for your decorated gift.
You can also use glue sticks, pens and glue guns to secure your decorations. Almost anything you may have on hand may be used. However, avoid using spray adhesives to decorate boxes or bags, many are not food safe.
Trim or pleat Clear Party Bags or Treat Bags to customize the fit of the gift. If a bag still seems slightly oversized, pleat the bag where necessary and use tape to secure into place.

Battle Cat
Battle Cat is the mighty beast companion of He-Man. He carries He-Man and other heroic warriors into battle. Like He-Man, Battle Cat has a secret identity of Cringer who is Prince Adam's pet feline. Cringer is transformed into Battle Cat bestowed by He-Man and the Power Sword. Battle Cat's armour can withstand laser blasts and hand weapons. His feline counterparts are Panthor, Clawdeen, and Catra.
Origin #1 (Mini-Comics & Early Publications):
In the early minicomics, Battle Cat is simply a wild animal that answers when He-Man calls out to him in the woods At first there is little indication that Battle Cat is anything more than a trained beast, but he evntually is seen conversing with the other Heroic Warriors as if he were human. The early publications show, that Cringer must go to the Cave Of Power, in order to transform into Battle Cat.
Origin #2 (Filmation)
While on a few days exploring the jungle as a boy, Prince Adam found a green tiger cub being attacked by a vicious sabrecat. After scaring the sabrecat away, Adam took the kitten back to the palace where it was tended to by Man-At-Arms. After it became well, Adam adopted the kitten as his pet. However the kitten was scared very easily, and Adam and the kitten were teased by Teela and the other children, with the kitten being called a cringer. Although Adam defended his pet, the name stuck. The Sorceress appeared and told Adam that Cringer might bring him embarrassment now, but in the future he would be useful. Years passed, and after Adam was given the ability to become He-Man he usually hid from Cringer. However, when an archeological dig was attacked by a recently released monster, Adam transformed into He-Man without knowing Cringer was watching. After spotting him, He-Man tried to reassure his pet that he was really Adam, but after pointing the Sword of Power towards Cringer it let out the usual energy beam, transforming Cringer into Battle Cat for the first time. He-Man was shocked to see the change in the usually timid cat, but remembered the Sorceress' words from when he was a child and he received another message, telling him Battle Cat was now his partner. Using Battle Cat, he was able to confine the beast and save the endangered team.
Origin #3 (200X Cartoons & Comics)
he 2002 relaunch of Masters of the Universe, Battle Cat was redesigned with bulkier shoulders and sabre-like fangs, making him more distinct from his Cringer form.Cringer is somewhat of a pet to Adam. Although it seems clear he can understand what is said to him, he cannot speak and sounds like a typical house cat. He is a coward, although this does not come up as much as in the original series, but more than once he has shown some bravery in order to help Adam. As Battle Cat, he is most often seen merely transporting He-Man and roaring loudly. In the first season of the 2002 animated series he only has a few fight scenes, going one-on-one with Panthor, helping against Evilseed's vines, fighting giant mutated rats, taking out Clawful and fighting a powered up Tri-Klops.
In season 2 the writers gave him a more active role; he often fights against the Snake Men (he nearly kills Kobra Khan) and Skeletor's forces. Since he never speaks, there seems to be an effort to portray his relationship with Adam/He-Man as more than master/pet, most often through either Battle Cat or Cringer being badly injured and He-Man entering a rage, or by He-Man explaining things to him.During the Sorceress's vision of King Grayskull's past, it is revealed that he rode on a gigantic green lion, who wore the same helmet and armored claws as Battle Cat. This lion helped defend the castle and was the only one of Grayskull's companions not to become an Elder. What happened to him is uncertain, however it does mean that Cringer's presence at He-Man's creation may not have been coincidental. Assuming the lion followed its master into the Sword of Power, this would perhaps form the basis for Battle Cat's power.
Trivia (Clawful94): Battle Cat is voiced by Alan Oppenheimer in the Filmation Cartoons.

Writer/producer Paul Scheuring's last TV series, "Prison Break," started out as a show about guys trying to break out of prison of course and degenerated into total insanity. Like when a character turned up alive after being beheaded. Or when escapees traveled to Tooele, Utah, to find no mountains anywhere and locals who spoke with a Southern accent and went boar hunting.
Scheuring doesn't wait to add the crazy in his new series. The first episode of "Zero Hour" opens with Nazis and Rosicrucians and genetically engineered humans and dead languages and secret maps and terrorists and the possible end of the world, all playing out while dramatic music swells in the background.
It was at least a little bit funny when Scheuring previewed the show by telling TV critics: "I have a great amount of respect for the audience."
"Zero Hour" is a conspiracy theorist's dream come true. Viewers who see hidden plots behind everything from the JFK assassination to the 9/11 attacks to the Newtown murders will feel right at home.
The hour opens in 1938 Nazi Germany, then quickly flashes forward to the present day. Hank Galliston (Anthony Edwards, "ER"), the publisher of Modern Skeptic magazine really ends up in the middle of one of his own stories when his wife, Laila (Jacinda Barrett), buys a clock and gets kidnapped by terrorist White Vincent (Michael Nyqvist).
The cast also includes a couple of Hank's employees at the magazine, Rachel (Addison Timlin) and Arron (Scott Michael Foster), who help with his investigations.
Suspending disbelief when it comes to the conspiracies is the easy part. Believing these characters are anything other than cartoonish caricatures is the hard part.
Shortly after Hank's wife is kidnapped three minutes as the show goes he seems pretty much entirely calm about the situation. And when events send him north of the border in search of clues, FBI agent Rebecca "Beck" Riley (Carmen Ejogo) asks him, "What's in Canada, Mr. Galveston?"
"A bunch of ice," he replies. "Lots of beer. Reindeer."
It's painfully awkward and unreal.
"There were kind of two mandates going into it, one of which was to deliver something gigantic," Scheuring said. "We wanted to make a spectacle. But for me, a serialized show is only as good as its MacGuffin, ultimately where it ends up."
The writer didn't give much away, but he did make a couple of promises. First, that he already knows how the series will end, regardless of how many seasons it lasts.
And second, that the end of the 13-episode first season will be the end of all this stuff with the Nazis and the Rosicrucians and the end-of-the-world plot.
"It's like the '24' model, where you reset every year," Scheuring said. "Like, this entire Nazi conspiracy thing will be done in Episode 13 this year, but we have a group of investigators, headed by Anthony, at the magazine, which can then apply those skills to the next investigation next year."
If there is a next year.
On TV
"Zero Hour" premieres Thursday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. on ABC/Channel 4.

Media Praise Nonexistent Specifics From Mitt Romney
Research ››› ››› MIKE BURNS, MARCUS FELDMAN & HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY
Media figures cheered Republican Mitt Romney's performance in the first presidential debate, claiming he offered specifics and an economic plan to contrast with that of President Obama. In fact, independent analysis shows Romney provided vague details at best.
Media Figures Touted Mitt Romney's "Plan" And "Specifics"
Erick Erickson Claimed Romney Gave "A 5 Pt Plan." In a post on his Twitter feed, CNN contributor Erick Erickson claimed that Romney gave a five-point plan during the presidential debate even though "the Obama campaign said [Romney would] give no specifics."
[Twitter, 10/3/12]
Andrea Tantaros: "Saying 'Romney Doesn't Have A Plan' After Tonight Just Doesn't Hold Up." In a post on her Twitter feed, Fox News host Andrea Tantaros claimed: "Saying 'Romney doesn't have a plan' after tonight just doesn't hold up."
[Twitter, 10/3/12]
Laura Ingraham: "Romney Is Burying Obama In Specifics." In an October 3 post on Twitter, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham claimed that Romney was "burying Obama in specifics."
[Twitter, 10/3/12]
David Limbaugh: "Romney Is The Worst Possible Matchup For Obama Because He Is So Specific." In an October 3 post to his Twitter feed, conservative commentator David Limbaugh wrote: "Romney is the worst possible matchup for Obama because he is so specific and so precise and so knowledgeable and so quick on his feet."
[Twitter, 10/3/12]
Ben Shapiro: Obama Saying "Romney Lacking Details" Is "Absurd." In an October 3 post to his Twitter feed about the presidential debate, conservative talk radio host Ben Shapiro claimed it was "absurd" for Obama to say "Romney lacking details":
[Twitter, 10/3/12]
Steve Doocy: Romney Stuck To The Facts. "His Secret Weapon? Just Stating It Like It Is." On Fox News' Fox& Friends, co-host Steve Doocy introduced a segment on stats and figures used during the debate by claiming that Romney stuck to the facts. He added: "His secret weapon? Just stating it like it is." Fox News legal analyst Peter Johnson Jr. agreed, claiming Romney offered "substance," "specifics," and "hard facts."
DOOCY: Zing, Mitt Romney comes out swinging last night, and he did stick to the facts, a tactic rarely seen among politicians. His secret weapon? Just stating it like it is. Peter Johnson Jr. joins us live right now, Peter?
JOHNSON: It was substance, it was specifics, it was hard facts. And, in doing it, Mitt Romney crushed the president last night, and I think everybody is agreeing on that. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 10/4/12]
In Fact, Romney Hid In "Pockets Of Vagueness"
Ezra Klein: Romney "Was Able To Hide In Those ... Pockets Of Vagueness He Created." MSNBC policy analyst and Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein noted that despite Romney's insistence that he has a "lengthy description" of his health care plan, the health care plan on Romney's website is "about half the length of an average op-ed column." Klein added that Romney "was able to hide in the sort of pockets of vagueness he created." From MSNBC's post-debate analysis:
KLEIN: The description [of Romney's healthcare plan] he's talking about, it's on his website, it's about 396 words. It's about half the length of an average op-ed column. It is not a lengthy description. It's not a specific description. But he kind of got away with saying it was lengthy without facing a challenge and I think that's what you had for kind of a lot of the debate tonight
KLEIN: [Romney] was able to hide in those sort of pockets of vagueness he created.
That first third of the debate, where they were arguing about taxes and in particular whether or not the tax cut Romney has would cost five trillion dollars, that was an entire debate over a particular missing number in Romney's plan, which is "if you're going to pay for this, how will you do it?" Romney, by saying that he won't give specifics but he will do it, was able to say simultaneously that it will be paid for but he's not actually telling you anything he'll cut to do so. [MSNBC's post-debate analysis, 10/3/12, via Media Matters]
AP: "Romney Has Refused To Say Which Tax Breaks He Would Eliminate To Pay For The Lower Rates." Following the debate, the Associated Press noted that "Romney has promised to balance the budget in eight years to 10 years, but he hasn't offered a complete plan. Instead, he's promised a set of principles, some of which ... work against his goal." The AP further wrote that Romney has "offered only a few modest examples of government programs he'd be willing to squeeze, like subsidies to PBS and Amtrak," and that "[t]he knock on Romney's plan, which Obama accurately cited, is that Romney has refused to say which tax breaks he would eliminate to pay for the lower rates." [Associated Press, 10/3/12]

To a certain extent every national leader is in a form of costume every day of their term, but today this issue takes on a very specific meaning. Tonight, after all, thousands of children will dress up like everything from Leonid Brezhnev to Ninja turtles and though in 2009 the White House joined in the fun, with Michelle Obama dressing up like a cat complete with spotty ears and painted-on whiskers, this year, celebrating three days early, she opted for almost no costume at all. It's a telling evolution.

text: Utah Mormons were officially called to repentance over the pulpit this month for not being more involved in our local political process. Specifically, the importance of attending precinct Caucus meetings.

Pink Floyd's 'Animals' Cover Building Being Renovated
Listen to Pink Floyd Radio on iHeartRadio
The building featured on the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals is undergoing a makeover.
CNN says Wilkinson Eyre architects is redeveloping London's massive, rundown Battersea Power Station, which stopped operating in 1983.
Wilkinson Eyre's Jim Eyre says the remodeled structure will house offices, retail outlets, and luxury residential "villas," as well as a rooftop garden and an observation deck. He explains that his firm is working to preserve the character of the iconic building, which includes rebuilding the four distinctive chimneys.
Eyre says they'll even purchase the exact same color of paint from the company that supplied it for the original construction back in the 1930s.
No word on whether an inflatable pig will be hung between any of the chimneys. But once the building reopens, the price tag for a unit will run three-thousand-300 dollars per square foot.
