5 Seconds of Summer Make Big Tour Announcement

by Kathleen Perricone
The boys of 5 Seconds of Summer called in to On Air with Ryan Seacrest on Tuesday — the same day they released their debut album — to talk about their new music … and make a HUGE announcement.
Although they're at the top of the charts, it was a long time (ok, a few years) in the making for the band.
"The hardest point was early days," says drummer Ashton Irwin, 20. "I finished school before these guys and the hardest part was getting them out of school to be in a band, like I had to go steal them from school in my car … willingly."
The other three guys of 5SOS — guitarist Michael Clifford, bassist Calum Hood, and singer-guitarist Luke Hemmings, all 18 — met in school and were friends … and may or may not have all pursued the same girl at one point.
"We all went through a phase where we all liked the same girl," they explained, adding with a laugh, "We don't talk about that. It's a touchy subject."
As for 5SOS' big announcement, they will play a very special show on Saturday, November 15, at The Forum. But this Saturday, fans can go down to the venue at 7 a.m. (tickets will go on sale at 11 a.m.) and the band will all be there.
"We're planning some cool stuff," they add. "It's not like you've just going to come down and hang in a line all day. We've got some cool surprises happening."
The band also answered some fan questions, including one from Ryan's neighbor, Mackenzie. Listen to audio above for all their hilarious answers!

'Both Buffalo general manager Darcy Regier and Brennan said they had good vibes coming out of a pre-draft meeting between team officials and the players. And although the Sabres, who didn't have a selection in the first round Friday, had considered trading the No. 31 pick to add more selections, Regier told Sabres Television they were more than content to keep the 31st pick when Brennan was still available.'
Brennan goes first on Day 2

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by CanadianCowboysFan, Jan 5, 2013.
The rule's impact is deeper than what some posters understand.
Anyone who has sought jobs understands how important the interviewing process is.
Even when people have the necessary experience and qualifications, they either don't get interviews or when they get interviews they do so bad in them that they don't get the job.
Understanding the process and how to perform within that is a huge factor in landing a job or landing a job in the future.
Oh I understand the entire, "gets them interview experience" argument and there is some merit to it but I remember when we hired Parcells. Not only did we have to interview Dennis Green, he had to advise the NFL it was a legitimate interview and that he believed he was given a real shot.
Interviewing someone for a job for which you have already decided to hire someone else is a slap in the face and a waste of everyone's time.
I honestly don't believe the minority candidates look at it as a slap in the face. They'll gladly take the interview.
I'm a white guy. But, even I have experienced a situation where I was interviewed for a job that I was not going to get and the interviewer already had their mind made up.
In my situation, it was more of an HR thing for the interviewer. The company wanted him to interview at least 3 candidates. He could choose which one he wanted, but they wanted 3 candidates interviewed. For me, it was a much higher position than my position at the time. I was able to get a feel for what interviewers are going to ask at a job at that level.
The same is going to happen in the NFL. While you have the majority owner, you have a lot of minority owners that are going to demand that the majority owner at least interviews a few people, even if their mind is made up. It doesn't make a difference if it's all white guys, they want at least a few different people interviewed. And that's no different than the gripes against the Rooney Rule.
What I do not like is how the media always skewers the Cowboys about who Jerry interviews. I remember when Campo got fired they acted like Campo didn't get a fair chance. The guy went 15-33 in 3 seasons and they were seriously trying to tell us that Campo wasn't given a fair chance.
Then when Parcells retired, we interviewed plenty of minority candidates like Todd Bowles, Ron Rivera and others. And the media complained that these candidates were not 'serious.'
Yet, no complaints about KC having their minds made up on Andy Reid. And if no minority candidates are hired, I highly doubt the media will make a peep about it.
Again, I'm for the Rooney Rule. I just hate it when Dallas clearly abides by it and gets skewered for it. But, when the Bills hire Chan Gailey despite having had coaches like Perry Fewell (who coached for the Bills), we don't hear a peep.
Absolutely agree.
Also, we're talking about a close knit group of employers. 32 of them and that's it. These guys talk and a good first impression even in a procedural interview could get a guys name out there and open doors for him at a later date. The simple reporting of a candidate could be enough to draw interest from other teams.
For all the people who complain about how illegitimate the process is and how much of an insult it is to these guys, I can't recall masses of minority coaches coming forward and publicly declining interviews because of it.
That's just the nature of the business. Dallas is a polarizing team. Either love them or hate them. Also, they are probably the highest profile team in the NFL and might be the highest profile team in all of sports. I don't follow basketball enough to know if there are teams in similar situations but maybe only the Redsox and Yankees would command the type of coverage that Dallas does even during seasons or spans of futility.
As a result, people will take any chance they can to either prop up (love) or knock down (hate) the Dallas Cowboys. When I was younger, I was at a family reunion and being that I was pretty much one of the younger kids that could be classified as the "older kids", all the small ones really couldn't get enough time with me. They were doing as kids do and competing with each other for my attention, yelling my name constantly. I looked to my aunt and she simply replied, "that's the price of popularity".
That's how I feel about Dallas and the media. Some people get worked up over media reports that are negative (I would say your situation above is far more reasonable than most) but what they don't realize is that Dallas likely receives more coverage than the performance of the team would deserve. What comes with that is both the good and bad. Not to mention Dallas is probably far more proactive from an organizational standpoint in getting it's name out there. You're not getting prized title fights at other stadiums. Least I haven't heard of any.
The team is popular, polarizing and proactive so they constantly stay in the news. Negative articles and bashing of the team is simply "the price of popularity".
The Rooney rule is a joke and there is no explaining it away. Prior to the Rooney rule (2003) there had already been a history of black head coaches. There were six black head coaches before the rule and at the time of the implementation there were several black head coaches already coaching. So unless that all the black head coaches either before or at the time of the implementation were just real lucky or they are the greatest interviews in history I would imagine there were teams that interviewed Black candidates. You can't say they were the ONLY ones.
So the need for the Rooney rule was a figment of Rooney and the ever politically correct NFL imaginations.
Since the Rooney rule there have only been five more minority head coaches than before the rule. It would seem that the hiring practices in the NFL has followed the hiring practices in the general business climate.
In addition, the guy that proposed the rule, Dan Rooney stated the rule had no impact on him hiring Tomlin.
I think it is a shame that an organization is forced to interview someone that they have no intention in hiring. It gives the candidate a false sense of opportunity just to be disappointed, not to mention the aggravation of being used because of his skin color.
No, it's not.
In every system, there's going to be abuse. But the system focuses more on the overall results of the process than the abuses. Many posters want to focus on abuses to toss the program. Others who support the RR focus the results of the process as that's, ultimately, what matters.
It's only the nature of the business because we lower our standards for what the media will present us. Integrity and truth gets neglected while 'scoops' are treated like the holy grail.
This week has been another frustrating week as a sports fan. We have heard so many coaches supposed to be hired. Andy Reid was a 'mortal lock' in Arizona....gets hired in Kansas City. Chip Kelly was supposed to be hired by the Browns by now and is interviewing with the Eagles.
It's much like the Newtown shootings. We couldn't get anything straight out of the media to the point we would have been better off turning off the news and waiting 3 days until they got their stories straight.
And so it goes...
I had to :laugh2: at the bold. I love how those who don't feel the impact of a particular policy tell others who are that it's a joke and there's no explaining it away.
But let's look at the numbers.
Prior to the 2003, there had been five black coaches in the modern era.
Art Shell was hired prior to the Rooney Rule primarily because of Al Davis, who also hired the first Hispanic coach in Tom Flores. Beyond that, there was no overall movement by the NFL to hire a black coach.
The other black coaches were Dennis Green, Ray Rhodes, Tony Dungy and Herman Edwards.
Dennis Green and Herman Edwards got jobs after the Rooney Rule. So an argument can be made that the Rooney Rule benefited them in that they were hired a second time. Ray Rhodes was also a "retread" but that was before the Rooney Rule. He didn't last long, though. He was one and done with Green Bay after a head coaching stint in Philadelphia. More on the retread concept later.
Really? Any figures to back this up?
Compared to before the Rooney Rule, hiring of black coaches increased 22 percent.
That says that more blacks are getting chances to become head coaches. You would say that followed natural hiring practices. But I would offer that there was a significant event that occurred (the Rooney Rule) that prompted the rise. It's hard to deny its impact when the increase was so drastic.
And what's interesting is that many owners were against the Rooney Rule prior to its ultimate adoption. So what would make one believe that these owners would have hired black coaches if the Rooney Rule ultimately was killed? There's nothing to lead me to believe they would have, not based on the numbers prior to the rule.
Furthermore, of the black coaches hired after the Rooney Rule, only one (Romeo Crennel) was a retread. Simply put, more candidates are being considered instead of the usual retreads being rehired.
And this is supposed to prove what? Wouldn't you expect the man for whom the Rooney Rule is named to lead by example?
Do you know how hard it is to get in front of someone to convince them that you can do the job? Do you know how many unemployed citizens would love to be given the chance to be called in for an interview?
And so what if an organization is forced to interview someone whom they won't hire.
As with any policy, the goal is not always instant change across the board as it is institutionalizing a behavior and making it so commonplace that the policy morphs into a general societal practice.
I believe it's a good rule. It has a purpose, and, as the numbers reveal, it is accomplishing its goal in not only getting more minorities hired as coaches but also getting the word out about future head coaching prospects.
its a fine rule for those that believe in lying and discrimination. That is what the rule promoted.
And frankly anyone claiming that you should not feel bad when you are 'interviewing' for a job you have no shot at is full of crap.
have to laugh at those that cannot see that 'for show' interviews are just total BS. Yes that is lying- when the person sets up an interview that has no chance of being hired that is a LIE. Frankly its FRAUD.
those that cannot figure that out are those that are oblivious to reality.
Laugh all you want. But a rule based on race is racist. In addition, forcing an organization to interview someone who they intend not to hire just because of his skin color is a slap in the face to black people. Only those who don't respect themselves look for the victim leverage. It reeks of Sharpton type of mentality. I hire who I want regardless of color. I'm not going to say there is no racism in the NFL but I would bet it's much smaller than the PC police would care top admit.
The only purpose this rule serves is to make a mockery of the hiring process as well as the people who are used to fulfill the stupid rule.
And again, no explaining it away will ever make it any less racist.
Coaches are free to decline interviews. Any idea as to why minorities coaches haven't been declining in mass?
If you as a fan know it's a fraud, don't you think the coaches do as well?
Why haven't they been turning all these fraudulent interviews down?
The problem is people believe the rooney rule = affirmative action, and as you pointed, it's not. Half of the arguments people use really don't apply, but you hear the same BS every time from almost the same people.
I don't think, nor do i believe it's a prevelant thought that there is a bunch of racism in the NFL, as much as coaches getting opportunities through connections that Blacks didn't have.
Did Jimmy Johnson get hired because he was the best canidate out there? Probably not, it was in large part because he was a successfull college coach who just happened to play at Arkansas with the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
And how many of his friends followed him from Miami?
It's human nature to hire people you are comfortable, and let's be honest it was rare for African American's to be in the same position as their white counter parts. And hiring a white coach who may who you had a working relationship with doesn't make you racist, but it is an obstacle that the majority of african americans faced when trying to break into the coaching ranks.
The connection this is insane since most of these coaches have been around for some time and have access to the same people. You think these owners or GMS don't know who Ray Horton is? Or anyone else? The thoroughness of the front office today is much more complete than ever before. The need for this silly kowtowing rule is non existent. These owners want to win and they want to make money. They will interview and hire the best person for the job regardless of color.
It is a pandering position to force such a thing onto someone who owns a business and more egregious to those being used based on their skin color.
Exactly, Reid was going to be hired if he wanted the job, the other interviews were just for show. We do that and Jones is crucified.
No, it's not. Besides, who supports that definition of racism other than Internet posters ranting about political correctness? Racism is deeper than that simplistic definition.
So basically you're saying that Affirmative Action policies enacted after the Civil Rights Bill was passed were a slap in the face to black people?
So NFL owners, who had to approve the policy, don't respect themselves? They reek of the Sharpton mentality?
First, you acknowledge there is racism in the NFL and then in the same breath you say you bet it's small by comparison.
And yet, the owners and NFL felt it necessary to have a Rooney Rule. Hhhhmmm.
As has been pointed out, the Rooney Rule doesn't require teams to hire a minority, only to interview one. News flash: everyone who is interviewed doesn't get the job. Are those who don't get the job being mocked also?
With all due respect, I don't think you even know what racism is.
So tell me. Is the Rooney Rule creating animosity toward whites? Towards Hispanics? Is the Rooney Rule saying that blacks are superior to whites that's why they must be given an interview? What white person is being hurt by this? A team can interview as many people it wants even with the Rooney Rule. Adding a minority to the mix isn't denying other races the right to compete for these jobs.
No, the Rooney Rule is not racist. Well, it's not if you're following established definitions of racism and racist rather than making up your own.
The funny part that everyone ignores, is that after the Rooney Rule, more white coaches are getting interviewed as well.
Good point. I guess these would-be coaches are in on the fraud. :laugh2:
In addition, why would the owners approve the policy? They didn't have to institute the Rooney Rule, yet they did. And lest one argue that the owners were pressured to adop the rule, these owners are practically isolated from society. They live in their own world. They don't have to enact this policy if they believe they're sufficiently addressing the issue of diversity in the coaching ranks. And apparently they felt they had a blind spot and needed to correct that.
Hence, their adoption of the Rooney Rule.

An intern who is halfway through the licensing exams, Dan Nicely, Fargo, N.D., is experienced in the dark side of architecture. He graduated in 1998 and soon found his way to an architecture firm that does primarily retail work. But with a family to support, it's almost impossible to get by on an intern's salary. Plus, he wants to get some residential experience onto his résumé. So he moonlights, designing houses evenings and weekends.
By working two jobs, Nicely joined a long tradition of ambitious young architects who have done design on the side as a launching pad to private practice, whether openly or under the boss's radar. It happens almost by default. There's the brother who wants a beach house, the neighbor looking for a discount on a two-story addition. Then too, with the average starting wage for interns at $34,600, who can blame them for grabbing work where they can?
Still, moonlighting has its perils. Nicely happens to have his employer's blessing, but what if you don't? Whose computer equipment will you use? And what are the risks of working without insurance—to yourself, to your employer, and to your client? "For some reason, the liability issue hasn't cropped up for me," says Giocondo Susini, a Toronto intern who graduated in 2002 and completed a 3,700-square-foot house without his boss's knowledge. "It's always on your mind. But as long as you've got the engineering part of it and the code part of it set, it should be no problem."
Those words would make architect Ralph Cunningham, AIA, wince. Cunningham is at the helm of the 13-year-old Cunningham + Quill Architects, Washington, D.C. Not surprisingly, side ventures look much different from the top. Although he admits to moonlighting once upon a time—in an era that was less litigious, and in an office without a policy on side work—he forbids the practice because of the risk it poses to his 23-member office. "If someone inadvertently uses our equipment, or a fax goes out with our name on it, we could get sucked in with our insurance," Cunningham says. In hindsight, he says he had a very poor understanding of liability. The risks hit home during a project that didn't go so well. Although it worked out fine in the end, there were many sleepless nights. "It's easy to have a lot of hubris and confidence in your ability when you're under someone else's umbrella," he says. "It's another thing to realize, 'Hey, I've got to solve this problem by myself.' When you're in your 20s, it's hard to imagine the pitfalls of almost anything in life."
Poll a dozen heads of architecture firms and you'll find they're all over the map on moonlighting. Many firms, especially large ones, make their prohibition crystal clear in the employee agreement, though they'll often grant waivers for family-related jobs. Andrea Cohen Gehring, AIA, partner and design principal, WWCOT, Santa Monica, Calif., and chair of the AIA's Practice Management Advisory Group, believes moonlighting is "a big, dangerous risk." Says Gehring: "If a person wants to do their own work, they should start a firm and struggle and starve. If they use a title block or any kind of materials from the office, it poses a risk to the firm." Seattle architect Eric Cobb, AIA, forbids side work for the same reason—and because he wants his employees' full attention. "I don't think you can sling two jobs at the same time and be effective at both," he says.
Other architects, remembering their own youth, take a "don't ask, don't tell" approach. "It's hard to say, 'Don't do it' when it's something I did myself," says Kava Massih, AIA, Berkeley, Calif., who oversees 25 people. "But I wouldn't want to know they're doing it because it implies that they're putting their energies somewhere else."
Secrecy is all but impossible in a small firm like Winchester, Va.-based Reader Swartz Architects. All seven associates sit in one room, so everyone knows what's going on, and Charles Swartz and Beth Reader have never created a written policy. Swartz, AIA, is happy to help employees who are entering a design competition or designing a house for themselves or their family, but he draws the line at someone trying to start his or her own office at night. "If they're doing it to make money on the side and it's a direct conflict with what we're doing here, that's a different thing." Besides, he adds, with so much work at the office, people rarely have time to take on second jobs.
the modern moonlighter Office politics aside, today's young architects are optimistic, well-educated, and achievement-minded. They're increasingly well-connected, computer-savvy, and proficient at multitasking. They often expect to advance by jumping from job to job. And, with the help of mentors, they're finding creative ways to get the experiences they want. Architectural work is space-intensive, but technology has made it easy to do at home. Most people have home computers that run CAD or 3-D programs, and if they don't, there's usually room on the credit card for a $2,500 investment in equipment. Plotting is no problem, either; files simply get e-mailed to the local graphics firm or sent to a friend with an established office.
Nicely, who works for the retail-oriented firm, got his first solo job, a castoff from an architect in another city, a year ago. The client wanted a basic package—design development for a 2,800-square-foot house he had sketched on a napkin. Working from home, Nicely drew up plans that the builder then developed into construction documents. He charged a fee that was 30 percent below market rate, with a written agreement that absolved him of liability. "I learned quite a bit doing it," Nicely says. "Everyone thinks that because they're an architect they can do residential work. But after five years of dealing with metal studs and 5/8-inch gypsum, to all of a sudden shift to a residential palette of doors with different heights and widths was harder than I thought. I asked a lot of questions of my employer and other people."
Indeed, some heads of firms—particularly those who teach—encourage staff to pick up outside jobs to broaden their experience. The idea is that the more they know, the more skills they bring to the office. "When I was an intern it was highly discouraged," says Nicely's former boss, Phil Stahl, AIA, Stahl Architects, Fargo, N.D. "They said you should be bringing work into the office, and if it's not good enough for us, don't work on it."
However, Stahl adds, "This is a new generation of interns. I think the architecture profession will be caught short if we're going to be managing them like previous generations. The Millennials won't even ask for permission to moonlight. They don't feel like they're being disrespectful, just [taking] charge of their own careers." Even after his interns move on, he keeps in touch, passing on referrals for small jobs and offering corrective measures on designs and advice on fees.

Spot shooters: X jammer 27 help please
Set up is contender elite, 26 3/4 draw, 45 lbs. I have my x jammers at full length 33" and a 210 grain point. I'm getting a consistent left tear unless I move the rest in towards the riser. That will get rid of the tear but I would like to have the rest more center.
Tuning charts say to stiffen arrow but i don't always agree. A lot of times in the past I found a under spine arrow worked better. Anyways, I'm asking any one who has experience w/ these shafts, would you add to the point weight to make them less stiff or would u cut them down to stiffen them?
On another note, these long arrows w/ the heavy point are a pain in the butt to keep on the arrow rest while drawing the bow. Any ideas on this? I know it is not nock pinch because the other arrows I try work just fine. Just a pain. The rest is a hoyt lizard tounge with the .010 blade.
Thanks in advance
according to ontarget2 software your arrows are way too stiff. no need to stiffen them anymore.
is that rest the v shape launcher blade? those are hard to keep any arrow on in my experience.
i doubt you would ever get them to soften up enough at that draw weight and draw length to make a difference.
i would dump shooting through paper and see how they group, and work towards the best groupings. you can add bigger fletchings to help control the arrow more also. which may also improve your groups.
you would have to shoot 300 grains up front and be shooting 60 pounds to get them close to being weak enough to get a correct spine and at that they are still stiff.
Thank you for the info.. I have heard of people shooting 300 plus grains up front. I'll give that a try. If I can soften them up any at all it will be better.
I have 4 inch feathers on now and the grouping was better after I tuned but you can still tell they just are not flying like they should. With the rest closer to center they were all over the place.
Also, it is the v launcher blade but the other arrows I use pull back great on it. Just the x jammers fall right off. Thanks again for your help.

I didn't have much of a problem tuning my xj 27's. I moved my rest very little off of center. I'm shooting a hoyt cam 1/2+, 50#'s, 28 1/2" draw, arrows cut 30 ", 220 grain tips. I'm using the original trophy taker drop rest. Shoots prefect bullet holes. They make wide v lanchers, try that.Hoyt Bows, Shrewd sights, Carter index, Tru Ball hinge, Trophy Taker Rest, Doinker Stabilizers, Carbon Express XJ 27's, Vapor Trail Strings, Nikon Binos.
Carbon does not act like aluminum.....DO NOT put that much point weight in those shafts. I wouldn't even leave them full length.
I am fortunate enough to shoot with Braden Gellenthien who is the # 1 ranked archer in the world....he NOW shoots for CX so we get to do some testing. He is shooting that shaft and what is working for him right now is a 30" shaft with 210 up front....he is shooting more lbs then you and has a little more draw weight....but it doesn't matter. Which setup we shoot them from they pound. I still think they would work shorter though....and would work better. I have a buddy that has about a 26" draw and his are cut to about 26" and they POUND for him also.
If your center shot is WAY off...you may want to tune to another arrow 1st to get things lined up.....

I tend to have to agree with this, for the most part when shooting carbon the arrow length is ½ past the rest and the average tip weight for indoor setups is 120 to 200 grains. That said you will see that the majority shooting the GT triples run 150 up front.
I would start out by getting your center shot on your rest back to where it should be and then if anything try cutting down one of your arrows and back your tip weight down and shoot it and see how consistent it is at hitting the same hole at a distance that your capable of shooting well even if its 15 yards try a few there check your arrows repetitiveness or consistency and then move back. Some folks get all worked up about how a given setup is shooting at 20 or beyond but in many cases its the operator not the setup.
Once you know your arrows are shooting well and to the point of being forgiving then build the others to match and go into the game with confidence. Remember its only 20 yards and when shooting outdoors this is known to be your easy gemmy shot. Keep that in mind and dont put any unneeded pressure on the game
Good LuckThe only one that is your competitor is the air between your ears!
Thank you all for the advice. Let the playing around begin!

#Chiefs injury update: Hudson to IR. Season over
Hudson has broken bone in leg. #Chiefs will go with Lilja at C and Allen at LG for time being, at least. They signed two backup linemen.

Argh. I was really looking forward to Hudson stepping up as a solid starter this season. I guess we get to see what Jeff Allen can do so I guess there is a silver lining to this cloud.

Yeah this sucks in a big big way.
I am honestly fine with Allen starting at guard. I think he will be a stud, but Lilja will worry me even more at center due to his lack of experience snapping the football. His experience blocking and knowing schemes is a benefit though.

I am not too worried about Lilja from an inexperience at center standpoint - I actually think it could work out better having him play center because of the relative inexperience of Asamoah and definitely Allen. Having a veteran anchor in the middle could really help.
The only thing I am worried about is the same thing that was an issue for Casey Wiegmann - big, powerful nose tackles gave Wiegmann fits and I worry the same could happen to Lilja.

Dang that sucks! I was really happy with how Hud was progressing. That being said I like Lilja at C although like said earlier his lack of experience is concerning. But his size and strength works much better at C. I think our pass blocking will take a hit as well. Allen still needs time there it's his weakness right now.

Lilja should make better, or at least as good, O line calls as Hudson. Hate to see him down, BUT, it might speed up Allen's maturity. Q: Do either of the two new O linemen have experience at center? Not to move Lilja back to guard, but to replace him at center and LEAVE Allen at LG? Thoughts..........

According to NFLDraftscout.com, Bryan Mattison was a defensive tackle/end for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Yawn.
I wouldn't be shocked if he gets sucked into the Pioli vortex of being signed and cut.

Is it too much to ask for a season without season ending injuries to our good, young players?
It's also like the injury bug always seems to find the starter whichever position we have terrible depth at.

Mattison is listed as C at the mothership. However, I don't think both will survive. The team is down to 4 CB (plus Daniels) right now, so I expect a move there as well. It was no coincidence they worked out a bunch of DBs last week.

This sucks. Good thing is Lilja played his best game for us in a long time once he got to Center. Another good thing is I think Allen won't give up the LG job for us for as long as he wants to be here. The bad thing is Rodney was looking like he was gonna be a very good C in this league and now that will be delayed.

It's too bad nobody was talking about how we have no experienced back-up at center, and how we should have taken a look at Koppen before the Broncos signed him...oh wait. Instead we - around with the practice squad, carry at least one useless TE and have Pioli's pet project and the man he dreams can be the next Danny Woodhead in Nate Eachus on the ACTIVE ROSTER (SMH).
Oh wait...everyone on here talked about it!

Not sure if you guys noticed this, but we instantly started running tons of shotgun plays once Lilja took over. I'm assuming the main reason for that is because Lilja and Cassel haven't had much practice with the center/quarterback exchange, so a shotgun snap has a smaller chance of a bad snap than under center. It'll be interesting to see if that changes our play calls on offense this week and if we run more shotgun than normal. In all honesty, that's what I'm hoping for because it's much easier for QBs to make adjustments pre-snap (not that Cassel does that much at all) and when we run a "short huddle" or "no huddle" offense, we're much more productive from what I've seen this year. That would obviously mean more screen plays, draws and delayed handoffs to Charles (which I'm not a huge fan of), but it'll be something to watch for on Sunday.

And what kind of ticks me off is we had "back-up" centers on the TC roster when Hochstein was on the street, and instead of elevating Patterson to the 53, or having signed Hochstein in TC to be vet back-up and learn the system and gain some familiarity, we did neither. A very myopic decision IMO to essentially ignore our lack of depth right up until we had an injury at the 2nd most important o-line position.

Yes it is. This is the NFL. Injuries happen. If you have young players starting without a vet to back them up, this is what you get. It is Murphy's Law in action. The one hole you have on your team will be exposed one way or another in this league. There was no real contingency for Hud to go down. The Football Gods don't allow room for error.

PHILADELPHIA - Freshman Sydney Stipanovich scored a career-high 17 points in just 22 minutes to help guide the University of Pennsylvania women's basketball team to its fourth straight victory last week. On Monday, she was honored for her efforts as the Ivy League Rookie of the Week.
Stipanovich was just three rebounds shy of a double-double in the 67-57 win over Army. More importantly, Stipanovich had 15 of her 17 points in the second half of the come-from-behind victory. The St. Louis, Mo., native also had two blocks and an assist in Penn's fourth straight win. She was 6-of-11 (54.5%) from the field and 5-of-6 (83.3%) from the free throw line. With Penn trailing with under five minutes to play, Stipanovich had six key points down the stretch and made all four of her free throws to propel Penn to another win.
This is the first career weekly Ivy award for Stipanovich and the second straight week a Quaker has been honored by the league office. Senior captain Alyssa Baron was the Co-Ivy League Player of the Week on Dec. 9 when she averaged 18.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 steals and 2.7 assists in three wins for Penn. Stipanovich is the first Penn player to earn the Ivy Rookie of the Week award since Keiera Ray on Feb. 18, 2013.
Leading into the City Six matchup with Drexel on Saturday, Dec. 21, Penn will has its Finals week. Then the Battle for 33rd Street tips off at 2 p.m. at The Palestra and can be seen on the Penn Sports Network.

The Internet can connect you and your family to all types of resources. At your computer, you and your family can read the latest news, look up information, listen to music, play games, buy things, or e-mail friends. The possibilities for learning and exploring on the Internet are endless. However, not all information and resources are safe and reliable. Read more about how to make sure you and your family's experience on the Internet is safe, educational, and fun.
The Internet (or the Net) is a vast network that connects people and information worldwide through computers. It's sometimes called the information superhighway. The World Wide Web (WWW or the Web) is a part of the Internet that includes pictures and sound as well as text. Online means being connected to the Internet. Surfing the Web means browsing or searching for information on the Internet.
It's important to have a set of rules when your children use the Internet. Make sure your children understand what you consider appropriate and what areas are off limits. Let them know that the rules are for their safety.
The following are tips you can teach your children about online safety:
The following is what you can teach your children about how they should act online:
Surfing the Web should not take the place of other important activities, including homework, playing outside, or spending time with friends. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends limiting total screen time in front of a TV or computer to no more than 1 to 2 hours a day for children older than 2 years. An alarm clock or timer can help you keep track of time.
In addition to setting clear rules, you can do the following to create a safer online experience:
If you or your children come across anything illegal or threatening, you should report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's CyberTipline. For more information, call 800/THE-LOST (800/843-5678) or visit the Web site at http://www.cybertipline.com.
The following are some ways people can communicate with one another on the Internet. Keep in mind that information that is shared may not always be appropriate for children. Also, information on the Internet is often not monitored.
When you go to the Internet, you may have a specific address in mind or you may browse through the Web, just as you would a library or a catalog. This is often called "surfing the Net." Following are several ways to get information on the Web:
Keep in mind—The Internet can be a helpful source of information and advice, but you and your children can't trust everything you read. Anyone can put information on the Internet, and not all of it is reliable. Some people and organizations are very careful about the accuracy of the information they post, others are not. Some give false information on purpose.
Children this age need supervision and monitoring to ensure they are not exposed to inappropriate materials. Parents should use Internet safety tools to limit access to content, Web sites, and activities, and be actively involved in their child's Internet use.
Children this age are savvier about their Internet experience; however, they still need supervision and monitoring to ensure they are not exposed to inappropriate materials. Internet safety tools are available that can limit access to content and Web sites and provide a report of Internet activities. Children this age also need to understand what personal information should not be given over the Internet.
Children this age should have almost no limitations on content, Web sites, or activities. Teens are savvier about their Internet experience; however, they still need parents to define appropriate safety guidelines. Parents should be available to help their teens understand inappropriate messages and avoid unsafe situations. Parents may need to remind teens what personal information should not be given over the Internet.
The AAP has an Internet Safety site that provides resources from the AAP and other organizations to help kids, teens and families use websites and social media safely. In addition to recommendations from pediatricians, the SafetyNet site has a Family Media Use Form, and links to external sites including On Guard Online (an comprehensive guide to being smart and safe online) and NetSmartz (an interactive, educational safety resource).

WHO: Ban E-Cigs Indoors
Listen to RadioMD Health News on iHeartRadio
(NEWSER) – More support for those who think it's too early to jump on the e-cigarette bandwagon: The vapor-producing devices may still pose a threat to users' and bystanders' health, says WHO, which suggests stronger regulations on the relatively new industry in a report released today, reports Reuters.
The health organization also asks for a ban on puffing away on the battery-driven units indoors, as well as on advertising and flavored e-cigs that could lure underage users.
Although e-cigs "are likely less toxic than conventional ones," writes Stephanie Nebehay at Reuters, WHO researchers say that nicotine and other chemicals emitted by e-cigs are still a health hazard, especially for teens and pregnant women. Those chemicals can include formaldehyde, aluminum, and silicate particles, reports the Telegraph.

Have you undergone cartilage damage recently and are seeking ideal treatment measures? Cartilage damage is a common form of injury that involves your knees. Other joints such as the ankles, elbows and hips may also be affected by cartilage damage. Cartilage, the tough and flexible tissues covering the surface of your joints, acts as a shock absorber, allowing the bones to slide over each other. Cartilage damage may occur because of injuries such as a gradual wear, sports injuries and osteoarthritis. While acute cartilage damage may heal on its own, severe damage may need treatment via surgical measures.
- Physiotherapy is effective when you experience difficulty in moving your affected joint.
- It is also an important part of recovery if you have to undergo surgical procedures for treating cartilage damage.
- A physiotherapist will teach you certain exercises that are effective for strengthening the muscles that surround and support your affected joint.
- This helps in reducing pain and pressure on the joint.
- Severe and serious cartilage damage does not heal effectively on its own, and a surgery may be required for treatment.
- Usually, surgery is performed by using Arthroscopy. This is a form of keyhole surgery in which certain instruments are inserted into your affected joint via incisions or small cuts.
- In some cases, larger incisions have to be made.
- Such surgeries are carried out after giving general anesthesia to the patient.
The most common surgeries that are undertaken in cases of cartilage damage include the following:
Lavage and debridement
- In this form of surgery, your joint is cleaned for the removal of any loose tissues.
- The damaged edges are trimmed to be made smooth. Sometimes, the damage may also be repaired during the same time.
Marrow stimulation
- In this procedure, tiny holes are made on the bone beneath your damaged cartilage that releases the bone marrow in it.
- The marrow cells stimulate the production of new cartilage.
- In this procedure, small plugs of healthy cartilage from areas of a joint that are non-weight bearing are removed and used for replacing areas of the affected cartilage.
- This procedure involves the alteration of the alignment of your leg for reducing pressure on the damaged area.
- It is effective in improving pain.
- A wedge of bone may be removed or added from your thigh bone or shin bone.
- The bone gets fixed with a plate till it gets healed.
In some cases, a joint replacement surgery has to be carried out. In this procedure, the entire affected joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint. Hip replacement and knee replacement are common examples of this kind of surgery.
Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. It affects millions of people around the world and is caused due to the gradual wear and tear of the protective cartilage at the end of your bones. The condition most commonly affects the joints in the hands, knees, hips and spine although it can damage any joint in the body.
The symptoms of osteoarthritis develop slowly and get worse with time, and include pain during and after physical activities like movement. The joints may become tender and may pain even with the application of light pressure. Stiffness and loss of flexibility are some of the other symptoms. The loss of cartilage due to gradual wear and tear causes the condition. It causes the smooth surface of the cartilage to become rough, giving rise to friction.
Some of the risk factors involved that can increase your chances of developing the condition are:
- Old age - The chance of osteoarthritis increases with a person's age.
- Sex - A study concluded that women are more likely to develop the condition. Although there isn't an established reason, lesser physical activity is attributed as a possible cause.
- Obesity - Having excessive body weight can be a contributing factor. This is because it puts added pressure on the weight-bearing joints, such as the hips and the knees.
- Joint injuries - Joint injuries contracted due to sports activities, accidents or other such factors can increase the likelihood of this condition.
- Genetics - In some of the cases, the condition is observed to be passed from generation to generation.
- Bone deformities - Some people who are born with bone deformities and defects can have greater chances of having this condition.
- Other diseases - Having diseases like diabetes and gout can increase the risk of the condition.
Some of the complications of this disease are:
- Joint pain and stiffness may cause hurdles in daily activities. Daily activities like changing clothes can be painful.
- Some people are unable to work any longer. Joint replacement surgeries are advised by doctors in these cases. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Orthopedist.

Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the joints and bones of the patient and creates general problems when it comes to mobility and other such postures, which require some amount of physical stamina and strain. This kind of condition can be of many types. Furthermore, it can affect many different parts of the body right from the knees to the shoulders and the wrists. There are many forms of treatment for this condition, which may be carried out by orthopedic specialists as well as other practitioners of alternative medicine.
Read on to find out why Ayurveda is one of the best ways to deal with this condition.
- Ancient science: Ayurveda is an ancient science that is steeped in the logic of ages, and it has been allowed to evolve over numerous centuries, which makes it all the more authentic when it comes to various forms of treatment.
- Combination of measures: Ayurveda is not just a field of medicine, but it is primarily known as a life science because it combines a variety of measures that have to do with inside out cleansing of the system. From massages to herbal medicines, yoga postures to lifestyle changes, this form of treatment can help the patient get rid of the condition rather than just treat the symptoms.
- Massages: When we use a particular oil or herb to massage our bodies, we are actually imbibing the goodness and richness of those elements, which are ideal for the condition that we are suffering from. This oil that may be derived from cloves or various other elements that are naturally found, can actually seep right into the bones and joints to repair the condition. Mustard oil and camphor are also well known oils for arthritis.
- Doshas: Ayurveda depends on the various doshas for a proper form of diagnosis, and arthritis comes under the Data dosha. This typically affects the energy, surrounding the proper functioning of the joints and therefore, one can safely say that this is a well-researched body of science, which is being put to use so as to prescribe medicines and other forms of treatment for that particular dosha.
- Exercise: The yogic postures are known to have helped many people and the various asanas that are specifically required for an arthritis patient will help in doing away with the root cause of the disease. These asanas include the less rigorous ones that can build strength and stamina so that the patient is able to lead a more normal and healthy life.
- Lifestyle changes: The diet changes that will be prescribed for arthritis-affected patients along with the changes in one's routine, will help in reaching the root cause of the condition so that he or she may get a better chance at normalcy in the long run. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an ayurveda.
Hello doctor. I am 25 years old. I have cellulite in my thighs n back portion. Its very difficult for me to wear shorts. please suggest treatment for the same.
Knee pain is something that can affect anyone - irrespective of their age. While sometimes it may be of minor importance - and can easily be handled by self-care, often, lingering pain is a manifestation of some other serious underlying problem, such as arthritis. In this case, it is imperative that you consult a doctor and take appropriate measures to combat it.
Causes :
Arthritis: The chief cause of lingering knee pain, arthritis itself can be of a number of types:
- Osteoarthritis, which is a result of deterioration of cartilages due to wear and tear
- Rheumatoid Arthritis, an inflammatory chronic disorder
- Septic Arthritis, causing pain, swelling and redness.
- Gout caused due to the development of uric acid crystals in the joints
Fractures: These are caused by the breaking up of the kneecap due to falls or collisions.
ACL Injuries: Caused due to the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (that connects the femur and the shinbone). Especially common in sportspersons such as footballers or basketball players.
Meniscus tears: The meniscus or the rubber-like cartilage (that acts as a shock absorber) can be torn by sudden jerks or excess pressure.
Symptoms:The major symptoms of knee pain include weakness, redness, instability, stiffness or the inability to properly straighten or move the leg. Often, a deformity is also visible, such as a bone sticking out of the leg - in which case it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately.
- Possible risks: Factors which include the odds of being inflicted by knee pain and cause serious complications include :
- Being overweight: This exponentially increases the stress or pressure that is applied on the knee joints - even in doing mundane tasks like walking up and down stairs.
- Excessive physical activity: Some activities, such as sports apply excess stress on the knees as compared to other tasks.
- Loss of muscle flexibility: Tightness or weakness in muscles causes increasing number of problems in the knees.
Staying healthy involves a wholesome state of being where the mind and body are in perfect sync. A less than properly functioning body can leave you in a state of potential depression after a certain point of time, while a depressive mind can leave you feeling less than stellar where you end up imagining and experiencing pain. The health of your bones and joints is one such area that requires even more care as you start growing older. Wear and tear is just one of the reasons for degeneration while fractures and injuries can lead to a sudden halt of normal functioning of the bones and joints too.
So how can you ensure bone and joint health in the long run? Follow our tips!
- Eating Right: Pick calcium rich food like dairy products that have a low fat content, including milk and yogurt. Also, have a daily dose of green, leafy vegetables and plenty of citrus fruit and juices for your fill of calcium. Further, food like eggs and soybeans which have lots of vitamin D can also help in retaining good bone and joint health. Vitamin C rich fruit like watermelon, oranges, squash and tomatoes also help in natural tissue and cartilage repair. And finally, get plenty of vitamin K to retain good bone density for a prolonged period with ingredients like leafy green vegetables, eggs and cheese.
- Exercise: This is the key to good bone and joint health. Much like machinery and tools, the bones and joints of your body can also wither with disuse and prolonged inactivity. Make sure that you indulge in exercises like long walks and muscle strengthening exercises which will give your joints and bones good amount of strength as well. Remember to speak with your doctor before you start a new exercise regime so that you avoid anything that may be harmful in case you have any other ailment. Low impact exercises will strengthen the spine, while fat burning and weight loss exercises will ensure that there is less pressure on the knees and lumbar area. Swimming and resistance building exercises can also be practised for these purposes.
- Abstinence: A major factor in promoting better bone and joint health is abstinence from all those things that can create problems in the long run, like smoking, drinking excessively and even too much consumption of caffeine and fatty food. All these things can create depletion of the natural bone mass. Also, switching to a lower heel for everyday wear footwear and changing your position during your time at your workstation are a few things that will go a long way.
Take care of your bones and joints the right way today, for a healthier tomorrow. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Orthopedist.

Nimmo, Plawecki bolster Sand Gnats
Roommates total seven hits in 7-2 victory over Blue Claws

Fifteen games into the season, it looks like the Savannah Sand Gnats are stashing quite a bit of offensive talent in one of their hotel rooms.
Roommates Brandon Nimmo and Kevin Plawecki ended Friday night ranked first and fourth, respectively, in the South Atlantic League in batting average after combining for seven hits in a 7-2 road win over the Lakewood Blue Claws.
Nimmo went 4-for-4 with a triple, a walk and two runs scored, while Plawecki homered, doubled and collected four RBIs.
"It helps to be able to bounce ideas off each other," Plawecki said. "We definitely, at night, we'll talk about stuff just sitting around the hotel room."
Whatever was talked about Thursday night, it paid off Friday at FirstEnergy Park. Plawecki went yard in the sixth inning off reliever Nicholas Hanson, hitting his third homer of the season and second in three games after he connected in the ninth inning on Tuesday against Greensboro.
"That was a huge at-bat," Savannah manager Luis Rojas said of Tuesday's homer. "He just kept fouling pitches off and battling with breaking balls and fastballs. Finally, they threw him a breaking ball, a hanger, and he hit it over the left-center wall."
Rojas said that longball was emblematic of what's made Plawecki effective this season. The Mets' No. 17 prospect found moderate offensive success last year at short-season Brooklyn after New York drafted him 35th overall. He batted .250 with a .729 OPS in 61 games, showing strong plate discipline but failing to show much power in a tough hitter's environment.
The advanced approach was no surprise -- Plawecki struck out only 28 times in 154 games over three years at Purdue. But his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame suggested he could add some power to his contact-heavy offensive game, and that's what's happening in the SAL. Plawecki's climbing the leaderboard with a .382 average, .444 on-base percentage and .709 slugging percentage.
"His hands are always in a good position to get the barrel on the ball," Rojas said. "He's ready for the fastball, but he can adjust for those secondary pitches. He battles in at-bats and gets into good hitting counts."
"I'm definitely a lot more comfortable," Plawecki said. "Coming into the season, I knew a lot more of what to expect. Last year was a good starting point for me, but I didn't succeed as much as I did in college. It made me step back and make adjustments mentally."
Just as impressive to Rojas has been Plawecki's work behind the plate. His catching tools are strong but don't leap off scouts' notebooks. What likely will keep him at the position long-term are his intangible qualities.
The 22-year-old called his own pitches in college, which is fairly rare, and improved his reputation as a leader and game-caller last summer with the Cyclones. This year, all but one Sand Gnats' starting pitcher has an ERA below 2.00, which Rojas thinks is at least a partial credit to Plawecki's catching talents.
"His leadership skills are the most impressive thing," Rojas said. "After that, he's a really good receiver and a really good blocker. He's going to keep getting better, he still has room to grow. That's something he knows he needs to keep working on to move up the ladder and make the big leagues.
"He has a pretty good idea of the game. You have a guy out there whose thoughts and game plan are pretty solid for every pitcher who goes out there during the game."
Especially impressive has been Plawecki's work with a staff loaded with Latin American hurlers. Brooklyn's entire rotation last year was from non-English-speaking countries, providing an interesting challenge for the Carmel, Ind., native.
"I took some Spanish in high school, but I'm by no means fluent," said Plawecki, who has sharpened his linguistic skills since being drafted. "I know a little here and there to get me by and communicate with those guys in certain situations. It's important for me to build a relationship with them and it's important for them to feel comfortable with me back there.
"I can bounce ideas off them and feel comfortable talking to them about what I see. There's no reason to treat them differently than other guys just because I can have English conversations with some guys."
Added Rojas, "It's extremely important. He's going to have to catch pitchers from Latin American countries, from Venezuela and Puerto Rico and so on. That skill is really a plus for him. It's good that he has it in his repertoire."
Nimmo, meanwhile, continued to break out in his first full season of pro ball. The 20-year-old center fielder went 0-for-4 on Thursday but was 10-for-19 over the four previous games, all multi-hit efforts. Since Sunday, he's 14-for-27 at the plate.
Rojas said he thinks a lot of the 2011 first-round (13th overall) pick's success can be attributed to the development and consistency of his daily routine. Nimmo grew up in Cheyenne, Wyo., and instead of playing high school and summer ball against elite competition like youngsters in Florida, Texas and California, he plied his trade in American Legion ball. Last year, Nimmo faced the challenge of adapting to elite competition and the daily grind of pro baseball in Brooklyn. This year, Rojas is seeing the fruits of those labors.
"He impresses me a lot because he used to only play a couple times a week and he wasn't seeing the same competition as he was after he signed," Rojas said. "It's very impressive and it's all the credit to him just for his mental toughness and his abilities. As a person, he's a great kid and a great addition to any ballclub."
"He's a good guy to be around," Plawecki said of his roommate. "He obviously likes to be as successful as he can and obviously he's a competitor."

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
So, after years of breaking up and then making up, you've decided she's the girl for you. Now you must find that sparkling diamond engagement ring that is gonna make her say, "Hell, yeah!" We suggest you take a trip to the Seybold Building in downtown Miami, where more than 280 jewelers are ready to help you make sure you don't mess up and come home with something that resembles a trinket out of a Cracker Jack box. Built by Miami pioneer John William Gottloeb Seybold in 1914, the building has entrances on Flagler and First streets. Once inside, you'll have to squint a bit to overcome all the glistening baubles on display. The Seybold Building is the second-largest jewelry building in the United States. You will find an unparalleled selection of diamond rings where jewelers value quality over quantity. For more than 30 years, millions of people have turned to the jewelers inside the Seybold Building to help them find the perfect gifts for the significant people in their lives. Or maybe you feel like buying the diamond and having the ring made. Well, amid the 200 tiny workshops and boutiques, you will find spaces occupied by diamond cutters, gem setters, and gold dealers who can help you make a unique ring. For example, you could visit diamond dealer H&Y Diamonds on the tenth floor, where you can find rough and cut rocks from across the globe. After selecting a fantastic stone, take the elevator one floor down, where setters such as Ernesto Ercilla will charge you $2.50 to mount small stones or from $25 to $35 to set a two-carat stone. And if you don't want the hassle of searching for a parking spot, there's valet service. The Seybold is open Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Courtney Williams is rummaging through a bottom cabinet inside Project 51 in Coconut Grove. He pulls out an alien-looking boot in a moss green, violet purple, and night black color motif. The heavyset sneaker pimp proudly holds up a Nike Convoy Huarache basketball shoe, circa 1993. "I had a pair just like these when I was a kid," Williams explains. "I dogged them out. I found this pair two years ago on eBay." Ten months ago, Williams converted his sneaker love into a business, opening up the first specialty store of its kind in the Grove. "I was going to open on the Beach," Williams says, "but then I realized the Grove didn't have anything like this." Indeed, Project 51 is like walking into a candy store, except the sweets are the multicolored Adidas, Nike, Puma, and Supra athletic shoes lined up on the rainbow-hued shelves. "I'm a sneaker collector," Williams says enthusiastically. "I collect them like crazy. You are not gonna find these shoes at Foot Locker or Champs." And his eye for exclusive kicks can't be doubted. He has stocked the limited-edition ?uestlove gold pack Nike Dunks. The Portland sneaker maker produced only 200 of them. "Those sold out quick," Williams notes. But there are still plenty of other tight sneakers to choose from, including a nice selection of skateboard sneakers by Supra, which have gained notoriety since Lil Wayne has been sporting them. Of course, buying a sweet pair of kicks requires that you find an equally dope T-shirt to match the ensemble. Project 51 has you covered there too, carrying underground labels such as Kidrobot, 10.Deep, DGK, and Crew. You can check out Project 51 Monday through Wednesday from noon to 9 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Maybe you make this mistake. Every year during the holiday season, you shop for gifts for your friends and family at the places you like to shop, instead of the places they shop. We do this all the time, and usually we wind up at Base. The place is a one-stop shop for the hip-junkies of any type who need their fix. For kiddies, there's a wide array of vinyl designer toys. For music lovers, there's a well-curated "music bar" stocked with the latest dance mixes and chilled-out albums. For folks with bare coffee tables, there's a never-ending supply of books that would look amazing on them. There are clothes, shoes, perfumes, jewelry, DVDs, accessories, furniture, art, and other random items. It's kind of amazing all of this fits into such a small space. But be warned — this place isn't for everyone. Grandma never did put up that complete collection of Dunnys we got her. And Mom hasn't even opened the book we gave her three years ago about the Dadaist movement. So, we've made peace with the fact that our family isn't as fashionable as we'd hoped. Nowadays, we get them Chili's gift cards and hope for money in return so we can shop at Base for ourselves.
Face it. Not everyone is suffering from the effects of the economic downturn. For people looking to still spend cash indiscriminately on high-end clothing without looking like a complete jackass for dressing ostentatiously in these hard times, the Adidas Y-3 store in the Design District might be their best bet. Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto pairs up with the German sports apparel brand to create clothing that is simple yet gorgeously designed — think athletic and casual clothing that's too nice to actually work out in. Most items are priced well above $100, so there is no bargain shopping here. And because the exclusive Y-3 stores aren't scattered around the country like your neighborhood American Apparel, fashion repeats are virtually nil.
OK, fellas, if you want to get into Louis or Mynt, both on Collins Avenue, pleated khakis and an Oxford are not gonna cut it. We suggest you jettison your faux pas style while cruising Biscayne Boulevard and pull into U.D. Stylelab Miami, the perfect one-stop boutique for banging jeans, T-shirts, hats, CDs, jewelry, toys, and gadgets. This place takes pride in stocking wares you are not going to find at any other fashion boutiques around town. We recommend that you buy a sick pair of Anama jeans and match them up with a wicked tee by Envy Evolution, Kid Dangerous, or Alkemy. Then add a couple of slamming accessories, such as that Goorin Bros. plaid brim and a pair of Forero cuffs — pounded and riveted bracelets made of mid-century metal found in salvage yards. But be ready to drop some coin. Clothes and accessories start around $60. Jeans average between $97 and $275. If you're lucky, you'll score something cool off one of the boutique's sale racks, which at times have items for 70 percent off. U.D. Stylelab is open Monday through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 9 p.m.
The baubles at Jackie Abraham & Co. are wearable works of art. The diamonds scream for your attention, while the cool platinums dare you not to look. Face it — if you flip off someone while wearing a jewel-encrusted panther upon your middle finger, the recipient of your gesture will know you mean business. The same thing goes for a pair of $222,000 platinum and diamond drop earrings, except you don't even have to move — your enemy will be blinded by all the ice. Abraham has been bedazzling the Magic City since 1993 with his distinctive designs and collections of mid- to high-end estate jewelry, which includes pendants, watches, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Maybe you can't pull off a quarter-size hunk of turquoise encased in white gold, but with hundreds of chic, classic, and exotic pieces to choose from, you'll find one that will surely fit.
