Asian Beauty Fucking Foreign Man
I would hate to be an Asian pornstar that only got to fuck Asian guys - in fact I'm pretty sure that I would go on strike if that was the case. What they need are the big dicked guys in pretty much any other country - and that's exactly what Kyanna Lee did with Chris Charming. She seduced him with her petite Asian body, and once he was totally hard she started sucking him off until he couldn't take it anymore. Then that tight Asian pussy got exactly what she was wanting the entire time. Now that's fun.

Note: the content of this DVD set
(and the review) is the same as the previously released Stargate SG-1
Season 8 set; the difference is that the packaging is different (and
much improved). If you're already familiar with Season 8, go ahead
and skip to the next section.
I admit, I had my doubts about
Stargate SG-1: Season 8. I've been a big fan through seven
seasons on DVD... could they keep it up? Would the show lapse into
formula, unable to sustain the terrific forward momentum of the
previous seasons' story arcs? Would the character dynamics falter now
that Richard Dean Anderson was taking a smaller role? Especially
since the arrival of the Season 8 package on my doorstep came after
I'd had some disappointing encounters with sci-fi television, I was
in a particularly critical frame of mind. But I should know better by
now than to doubt Stargate SG-1 on its ability to consistently
deliver a well-written, entertaining story, day in and day out. Once
again, Stargate SG-1 has managed to deliver the goods and, in
the case of Season 8, even step up the quality a notch.
Cue Jack O'Neill: "Told ya!"
There are a lot of great things
about Stargate SG-1, but the one thing that stands out,
especially this far into the series, is the quality of the writing. I
don't know quite how they do it, but the fact of the matter is that
Stargate's scripts are consistently excellent. The plots are
engaging and tightly woven. The backstory is used consistently and
effectively. Important events are set up in earlier episodes and then
followed through in unexpected ways. The characters, who are
portrayed as being extremely smart and creative people, behave
accordingly, always thinking through the logical possibilities of a
situation and making smart decisions; the writers never take the
"easy out" of having the characters miss obvious
connections or make convenient mistakes to keep the plot going.
What's more, the Stargate SG-1
writers have been learning as they've gone along. Writing excellent
one-shot episodes is one thing, and Stargate was pretty good at that
from the beginning. (It's important to not take that skill for
granted, as a variety of otherwise potentially interesting shows,
from Star Trek: Voyager to Andromeda, have been
handicapped by a failure to consistently produce even "adventure
of the week" stories.) The show's creators didn't rest on those
laurels, though, but kept exploring new ways of keeping the story
fresh and interesting. That meant using the backstory to create
ongoing story arcs, following the path blazed out by Babylon 5
with its season-long arcs within a multi-year overall story. At
first, these arcs were only moved forward in selected episodes from
each season, but as Stargate SG-1 developed, those arcs kept
getting more and more prominent. Now in Season 8, we have this
emphasis at its best: most of the season's episodes contribute in
some way to one (or more) of the ongoing plot threads, with only the
occasional stand-alone episode.
I made the comparison to Babylon
5 in terms of story arcs, and I think it's an apt one. (I also
think it's a quite conscious one for the show's writers; there are a
number of interesting parallels to the B5 universe, such as
Z'ha'dum and what happened to Sheridan, that appear in the later
episodes of Season 8.) What's interesting to me as a fan of both
shows is the way that Stargate takes B5's pioneering
style of storytelling and moves it forward. I think that Stargate's
use of ongoing plot threads developed over multiple episodes (and
multiple seasons) is by now more sophisticated and more successful
than what we saw in B5 as a whole. B5 rushed its final
apocalyptic confrontation, resolving all of its most exciting plot
threads simultaneously in an episode that didn't live up to its
buildup (and that left the show feeling rather aimless for the rest
of its run). In Season 8 of Stargate, there's the same sense
of a buildup to an apocalyptic finale, but it's handled much better.
The pacing is better, and (most importantly) the show's writers
managed to create a satisfying resolution that still leaves a number
of important cards on the table, or only temporarily removed from
play. We have the sense of progress that's important to make the plot
threads feel like they're meaningful, while giving us a clear reason
to keep watching.
A few changes in casting appear in
Season 8 (though nothing like what happens in Season 9). Richard Dean
Anderson's character of O'Neill is sidelined slightly, though by no
means as much as I'd expected. One thing that's not handled quite as
well as it could be is the dialogue and overall character
presentation of O'Neill; he's pushed a little too much toward the
comic extreme, with pretty much every line being some sort of
wise-crack. This was always an essential part of his character, but
it dominates a bit too much in this season's episodes.
The episodes with the three-person
SG-1 team of Carter, Daniel, and Teal'c work quite well, better in
fact than I would have thought, and I think it was a wise choice to
not bring on a new, fourth SG-1 member. In terms of the secondary
characters, Dr. Fraiser is gone and the replacement remains an
anonymous background character, but in contrast we see Walter and
Siler get a few more lines and different scenes. General Hammond is
no longer a regular recurring character, but he does get in some
solid episodes with a more interesting part to play than the typical
"hear reports and send SG-1 out" role of earlier seasons.
One of the most notable aspects of
Season 8, for me, was how it showcased Amanda Tapping's acting
talents in episodes like "Gemini," "Reckoning,"
and "Moebius." I've always liked the character of Samantha
Carter, but it's a fairly "normal" character that doesn't
obviously show off the actor's skills. In Season 8, Carter not only
gets to play her regular role, but also appear as the "replicator
Carter" and an alternate-reality version of herself, and she
does a fantastic job of creating characters who have subtly different
personalities than Carter, complete with different reactions,
intonations, and body language. Some of the minor threads throughout
the episodes also pick up on the unresolved issues in Carter's
personal life; fortunately, these are handled effectively so that
they never take over the episode, and give a satisfying insight into
Carter's character without being overdone and becoming soap opera.
I generally like to point out
episode highlights, after discussing the season as a whole, but it's
a pleasantly difficult task when the season as a whole is so
entertaining. The season premiere, "New Order" parts 1 and
2, picks right up on the cliffhanger at the end of Season 7, and gets
things rolling in a big way. One key word: replicators. "Lockdown"
starts out seeming like a generic filler episode; I know I groaned
when I saw yet another "energy being," as that plot device
has been worn down to the very limits already... but Stargate
does things right and uses it to rejuvenate the Goa'uld plot arc in a
big way.
The behind-the-scenes conspiracies
on Earth also have their place in Season 8, and I think they're
handled better here than in some of the other seasons, as they're a
relatively small plot arc here rather than being too drawn out.
"Affinity," "Covenant," "Endgame," and
"Full Alert" are tightly connected and do a nice job of
briskly developing and (mostly) resolving an interesting story. In
fact, "Full Alert" has enough of a great story that it
feels like it could have been made into a two-parter, but instead it
is a fast-paced single episode. (It's worth noting that "Covenant"
was written to appear before "Affinity," so some of the
references make a bit more sense if you watch them in that order.)
The replicator threat gives Season 8
some of its best episodes. "Gemini" is an extremely well
done episode, with a tightly plotted and exciting story. The two-part
episode "The Reckoning" ties together the replicators with
the Goa'uld threat, resulting in a very intense story that keeps
escalating the stakes... but in combination with "Threads"
manages to pull off a satisfying and intelligent conclusion.
As always, Stargate handles
humor just right, playing things almost entirely straight but with
the occasional comic episode. "Zero Hour" contributes to
the overall story arc, with Ba'al playing an important role, but it's
also a playful episode that has O'Neill dealing with the challenges
of running Stargate Command (including a quite funny sub-plot
involving an alien plant). "It's Good to Be King" is a
light but fun episode that fills us in on what Harry Maybourne has
been up to, while also providing an essential bit of story
advancement for later in the season. Even in episodes that are
completely serious, Stargate's habit of referencing other
science fiction stories brings in a nice touch of self-referential
humor, as in "Avatar" when Teal'c plugs into a machine that
creates a virtual-reality world in his mind. (O'Neill: "Carter,
all I heard was 'Matrix', and I found those films quite
confusing.") This episode, though it's one of the few that
doesn't contribute much to the overall story arc, is actually quite
fun to watch. It's clearly intended to drum up interest in the
Stargate video game that was planned at that time (though it
was later scrapped), and if you enjoy playing computer games, you'll
appreciate the little references and stylistic touches in that
episode, but more importantly, it's a well written and entertaining
episode even in its own right.
There are only a few episodes that
don't live up to the standard. "Sacrifices" is an OK
episode if you are a Teal'c fan, as it deals with his relationship
with his son, but I don't think it's one of the stronger episodes in
the set. "Citizen Joe" is a clip show, so it hardly counts
as a full episode. What's more troubling, in light of Season 9, is
"Prometheus Unbound," which has Daniel meeting up with a
strange warrior named Vala... played by Claudia Black in a clear
reprise/parody of her Farscape character, Aeryn Sun. The
episode feels completely pointless, and is badly paced, and could
easily be forgotten as one of Stargate's less successful
"parody of another television show" episodes, except for
the fact that Vala returns in Season 9 as a recurring character. No
The season finale, the two-part
"Moebius," is quite an interesting episode. It starts out
having a very different feel from the preceding episodes, making it
initially seem like an odd choice for a season finale. But as the
story proceeds, it becomes more and more engaging. I won't spoil the
plot, but I'll just say that SG-1 ends up revisiting characters,
locations, and events from the very beginning of the story, back in
Season 1's "Children of the Gods," along with having an
exciting and entertaining story. You can tell that the actors were
all having a very good time, and the episode is full of little
touches and references that reward long-time fans of the show.
And in the end, the final scene of
"Moebius" is a perfect stopping point not just for Season
8, but for the series as a whole. I would have loved to have seen
Stargate SG-1 continue on in the same strong vein as this
season, but it was not to be: several of the main actors would choose
to be sidelined (Richard Dean Anderson and Amanda Tapping), and new
actors would be brought on to replace them (Ben Browder and Claudia
Black). Considering that one of the strengths of Stargate SG-1
is the dynamics of the SG-1 team, characters whom we have come to
know and love, it's certain that it won't be the same, or anything
close to it. Whether you enjoy the new direction of Season 9 or not,
it's undeniable that Season 8 marks the end of the main run of the
series, and I think that "Moebius" ends on exactly the
right note for fans who've loved it and wouldn't want to see it in a
different form.
The DVD
The one new feature of this release
of Stargate SG-1: Season 8 is its packaging. The five DVDs
contain exactly the same content as the earlier release, but this
time they're packaged in just three ultra-slim plastic keepcases,
inside a significantly slimmer paperboard slipcase. The result is
that the overall set is less than one-third of the size of the
earlier packaging. Considering the bulk of the earlier releases,
that's a significant improvement. The overall packaging is just as
stylish, and the DVDs retain the cute gate-themed art.
The episodes here look really
outstanding. All are presented in their original widescreen aspect
ratio of 1.85:1, and are anamorphically enhanced. The image is crisp
and sharp, with great colors and plenty of detail. Contrast is also
handled well, and the picture is always clean and free of noise. I
also didn't notice any edge enhancement, and both the CGI and
live-action footage is equally attractive. All in all, these episodes
look great.
The Dolby 5.1 track is an example of
how great surround sound can add a lot to the enjoyment of a show.
There are a lot of action sequences in Stargate, and they're
given a great audio treatment, with excellent use of all the surround
channels. With the rear and side channels used effectively, along
with a nicely full overall sound, we can definitely feel that we're
in the middle of a devastating space battle, or dealing with a jaffa
patrol sneaking up from behind us. The only thing that's keeping the
audio from an extra half star is that in a few scenes, I felt that
the dialogue had a very slightly muffled quality to it. Overall,
though, the dialogue is consistently clear and distinct, the music is
well balanced, and of course the special effects sound appropriately
A dubbed French 2.0 soundtrack is
also provided, along with English closed captions and French and
Spanish subtitles.
The content of the DVDs is exactly
the same as in the earlier set, which I confirmed by comparing the
repackaged set to the earlier set in my collection.
Right off the bat, Stargate SG-1
Season 8 gets high marks for special features because it includes
commentary tracks for all the episodes except "Threads,"
featuring a variety of different people involved with the making of
the episodes.
Apart from that, we have some
additional featurettes on each disc. Disc 1 has a 12-minute piece
called "SG-1 Beyond the Gate: An Air Force Experience with
Richard Dean Anderson," providing an interesting look at
Stargate's relationship with the Air Force as they tried to
create a realistic (but also entertaining) show using a real branch
of the military. On Disc 2, there are two "Directors Series"
featurettes with director Martin Wood: a 9-minute one on "Avatar"
and an 8-minute one on "Covenant." There's a lot of plot
summary and clips from the episodes here, with a few interesting
insights into the making of the episodes tossed in. Disc 3 has
another relatively fluffy featurette, "Super Soldier: The Making
of a Monster" (14 minutes). It's too heavy on clips from the
series, but does have some information on the ideas behind the
creation of the Anubis drones for the series. Disc 4's featurette is
"Beyond the Gate: A Convention Experience with Christopher
Judge," (14 minutes) which is reasonably interesting. Finally,
on Disc 5 we have a "Directors Series" segment with
director Peter DeLuise on "Reckoning," which runs 16
minutes and offers an interesting behind-the-scenes look at the
making of that episode.
Final thoughts
Stargate SG-1 Season 8 is a
satisfying, well-made, and intelligent season of a science-fiction
show that has been consistently entertaining right from the start.
Season 8 is right up there with Seasons 4 and 5, which I consider to
have been the high point of the show up until now; Season 8 jumps
right into the action and delivers a set of exciting story arcs that
develop throughout the entire season. If you haven't been following
the show, you would miss out on a lot by jumping in at this late
date, and instead you should go back and watch it from the beginning
(it's worth it); for fans, Season 8 has all the things that have made
the show so much fun all this time. And if you're not planning on
following the show in Season 9 because of its dramatic changes in
casting and story arcs (I, for one, am not), then Season 8 provides a
satisfying conclusion in its finale. I haven't given the show a
Collectors Series rating only because it doesn't necessarily work to
its best effect considered by itself, but rather as part of the whole
series up to this point; I've given it a strong "highly
recommended," which Stargate SG-1 fans should interpret
as "definitely go out and add this set to your collection."
This re-release is exactly the same
as the earlier release, in terms of content; the only difference is
the significantly more compact packaging, which is a big plus. If you
already own the set, I'm not sure if this will be enough to make you
trade up (I suppose it depends on how overflowing your shelves are,
but for me, it's certainly worth considering), but if you haven't
bought the set yet, I definitely suggest that you get the re-release
version, as the packaging is a lot more manageable.

General Support - can't boot live Hellfire DVD
- 04.03.2011, 01:31 Uhr
can't boot live Hellfire DVD
Downloaded Hellfire from distrowatch.com, burned it to a DVD-RW, and tried to boot it. No joy. Disconnected all thumb drives (per your suggestion), tried again to boot, and still no joy. The boot process starts, the display shows "booting from CD", the DVD drive starts to sound like it's spinning up, but the boot process then boots the HDD as usual. I did a check using md5sum on the DVD, and it reported all OK.
I've never had this problem before with any distros -- am trying to recall what I saw when I recently tried to boot a DVD containing the new Debian, but can't remember. Will try that again tonight.
The box has a MachSpeed mobo with VIA KM400 & VIA VT8235 chipset, and 750MB RAM.
Have tried to boot the Hellfire DVD with different HDDs in the primary slot, and got the same results.
Any suggestions? Had thought about trying to download the .iso from your site and seeing if that would somehow make a difference, but figure that if the md5sum check on the .iso I've already downloaded checks OK, a different downloaded .iso would make no difference.
- 04.03.2011, 07:08 Uhr
You may want to try
as small start iso - just use another cdrw with it - or update your bios. plop bt can be used to start bootable usb keys too - when your bios does not support it directly.
- 04.03.2011, 17:32 Uhr
Thanks for the suggestion. I followed it and was able to boot the DVD at least part way. But at the place where the screen is showing a hard drive icon, then crossed-tools icon, etc., the process gets stuck and just keeps repeating those 4 icons. I had the exact same boot-failure thing happen recently when I tried to install Linux Mint 10 with KDE. Most of my distro installs are with Gnome, so am wondering if my computer has some kind of problem with distros that use KDE. I'll pursue this further.
Thanks again for the help.

the process gets stuck and just keeps repeating those 4 icons.

This is a bug in mesa / openchrome
you can create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf

gruss retabell
- 05.03.2011, 02:54 Uhr
Thanks to those who have offered to help. It appears that this problem is beyond my ability to fix for 2 reasons: I don't read/understand German and I'm not a computer expert. So I think I'll just run along and play in another distro.
Thanks again.
- 05.03.2011, 06:06 Uhr
Ok first, you don't need to be a computer expert and secondly ... what was the second reason?
What retabell wrote in his german post is very easy. I will translate the necessary steps for you.
1. put in your Kanotix boot medium (dvd or usb stick)
2. select the EN entry and press TAB (not enter), you have to extend the cmd line first with: init 1
4. press ENTER to boot
3. now you see a root shell and have to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the following commands:
echo 'Section "ServerFlags"' >/etc/X11/xorg.conf
echo 'Option "AIGLX" "off"' >>/etc/X11/xorg.conf
echo 'EndSection' >>/etc/X11/xorg.conf
4. switch the init level to boot up your desktop with the following command
init 5
thats it, nothing complicated
Regards TheOne
- 06.03.2011, 02:29 Uhr
Well, I tried it, following your code exactly, and after doing the "init 5" I got more text and finally a command line with a user prompt of $. I wondered if there should have been 2 ">" in the first line of your code, so I went back, started over, entered the code but with >> this time on the 'Section... line, and got to the same $ command prompt. I can supply some of the text that had appeared if it will help, but 2 lines ended in "failed" in red text -- those lines read "Loading cpufreq kernel modules --- failed" and "startpar: service(s) returned failure: plymouth --- failed".
I thought I'd have a look around anyway, so went to /etc/X11 and displayed the xorg.conf file, which looked as I'd entered it. Thought I'd try entering "X" to see what would happen. Got more text, which included the following:
Parse error on line 3 of section Server Flags in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf . "End" is not a valid keyword in this section. Fatal server error: no screens found.
Have I misunderstood something here? I thought that after I'd entered the "init 5" command I would get a graphical desktop from which I could select to Install Kanotix to my hard drive. If that's not the case, what could/should I have entered after getting the kanotix@Kanotix:~$ command line ?
I really do appreciate your patience and help with this.
- 06.03.2011, 07:27 Uhr
hi jerrybee
it's alright what TheOne has written
1 > means create file
2 >> means append to file
read "Loading cpufreq kernel modules --- failed"
ignore it
ervice(s) returned failure: plymouth --- failed"
it would be a good idea to disable splash on the commandline too
xorg.conf . "End" is not a valid keyword in this sectio
This looks like a Typo error in your xorg.conf
Double check it
use init 3 instead of init 5
to start x
i will check this again in the evening on my via-board
- 06.03.2011, 22:27 Uhr
I'm tired. I had logged in, typed out a long reply, hit the "Absenden" button ( I can only assume that means "Submit" ), and was greeted by another login screen. I have no idea where my long reply has gone.
I FINALLY got Hellfire installed, re-booted, filled in the username and password, got a brief blank screen, and got the login box again. And again. And again. During the installation process, I'd selected "log in automatically" or something like that.
Maybe tomorrow will be better.
- 07.03.2011, 03:26 Uhr
hi jerrybee
Absenden == Submit , that' s right
Vorschau == Preview
I FINALLY got Hellfire installed, re-booted,
you have to create or copy the xorg.conf into
your installed version too.
good luck
- 07.03.2011, 05:38 Uhr
Hi jerrybee,
sorry that I forgot to say that you have to do that changes on your installation again.
I prevously decided to not advise you, because you write english requests in the german forum section, but now you mentioned the language part on your on. So first take a look at top of the kanotix.com page. You will see 2 Links ("Deutsch" and "English"). Click on your prefered language and you will have "Preview" or "Submit" buttons instead of "Vorschau" and "Absenden" and of course other homepage parts are translated too. Secondly I want to say that we have an english forum section for the non german speaking user, but don't worry about anymore. ^^
Another point is, when you type a long reply text, click the Preview button from to to time. That avoids you to reach the timeout for inactivity.
- 09.03.2011, 14:25 Uhr
Thanks to the help from you folks I now can boot Kanotix successfully. I've used the info to also "fix" Linux Mint ver 10 KDE that was giving me the same boot problem. I still don't know what the fix actually does, but would like to know. What is AIGLX and/or what does it do?
It's a rainy day here in Georgia, so will be a good one to play with Kanotix.
Yes, I'd seen the Deutsch/English buttons and selected English, but that took me away from the section that the link in the email I'd received regarding this topic had taken me to. So I chose to just stay where the link had taken me, and hope for the best.
Again, thanks.

MoD in push for alternative military energy tech
Camouflage green includes brown and black
The UK armed forces are looking to make a shift away from fossil fuels and into a range of alternative energy sources, according to reports. This is born as much from concerns over prices and security of supplies as any green motivation.
The Sunday Times reports that Paul Stein, MoD science/tech honcho, outlined the new camo-green thinking in a speech to the Royal Aeronautical Society in London last week.
Specific notions discussed included the use of synthetic fuel for aircraft. The US Air Force, alarmed by its dependence on crude oil from volatile regions such as Nigeria and the Gulf, has already certified several of its aircraft fleets to use synthetic liquid fuel made from coal or natural gas. This move is actually much less green - in terms of CO2 equivalent emissions - than using ordinary jetfuel, as a tonne of feedstock is normally burned in the conversion plant for each tonne of juice produced. The move is more brown, or even black, than it is green.
However, coal and gas for synthi-fuel are seen as possibly cheaper and easier to obtain than crude from the potentially war-torn African and Arabian/Persian coasts.
In the longer run, many in the aviation world hope that jet fuel could be made from sources such as saltwater algae. This would avoid the controversial use of food crops, the uncertainties of crude oil and the heavy carbon burden of fossil synthetics. However, algae able to grow in seawater without carbon-intensive fertilisers seem a long way off.
Other future MoD ploys, according to Stein, might include the use of biodiesel made from hardy jatropha plants which can grow in deserts. Such fuel might one day run the powerplants of British warships and tanks, though again there are obstacles ahead. Ultra-lightweight aircraft like the Qinetiq Zephyr testbed - now a contender in the US "Vulture" programme - might run instead on solar power.
The MoD is already, of course, a major UK user of secure low-carbon energy. The Royal Navy's latest submarines, the Astute class, will run on nuclear power for 25 years without refuelling at all, enabling them to ignore fuel supply issues during their operational life.
Apart from diversifed energy sources, the MoD also wants to big up certain other forms of new technology. In particular, there is apparently a desire for more unmanned aircraft able to carry weapons. At present, the UK has two Reaper drones which could be armed, but aren't. The new Watchkeeper aircraft due in service soon won't be able to carry weapons as it is too small. Under the Taranis project, however, Blighty will develop a small robot stealth bomber able to fly an entire mission including weapons delivery without human input.
Another key desire is the development of armoured vehicles which are invulnerable to likely enemy weapons and yet light enough to be air freighted. This goal is proving extremely difficult to achieve for war-wagon designers at present.
Read the Sunday Times report here. ®

MISENHEIMER, N.C. - The soggy weather may have done its work dampening the pitch at N.E. Lefko field Saturday afternoon, but it certainly didn't dampen the dynamic offense of the #11 Pfeiffer women's lacrosse team. Dominating Lees-McRae from the moment the first whistle sounded, the Falcons cruised to a 22-1 victory over the visiting Bobcats, their highest goal count of the 2014 season and just three goals shy of the school record set back in 2010. The win improves Pfeiffer's record to 8-2 overall, 2-0 in Conference Carolinas action, and pushes the team's current win streak to three games. With the loss Lees-McRae falls to 3-6 overall and 0-4 in conference play.
Senior Kristina Anderson got the scoring started early for the home team, sending a beautifully placed shot past the Lees-McRae keeper just 24 seconds into the contest. Less than a minute later junior Kristi Korn sent her first of four goals on the day sailing into the Bobcats net for a 2-0 Pfeiffer lead. Korn didn't wait long to pick up her second tally, cradling a picture-perfect pass from freshman Stephanie Athens and firing an unbelievable shot on target just 36 seconds after her first score. Athens would pick up a goal of her own just 54 seconds later, finishing with two scores on the afternoon as well as a game-high six assists. Korn would score again with 26:38 left in the half, giving her three goals in the first five minutes of competition. The Falcons were dominant in the first frame, leading Lees-McRae 19-2 in the shot column and taking a 13-1 advantage into the mid-game break.
The second half of play was much like the first, with Pfeiffer besting the visitors in all categories. The Falcons added nine goals in the second half to their game total, and tacked on 12 more shots to finish with 31 for the match. With the game clock showing 2:21 remaining in the match, Pfeiffer put the final nail in the Bobcats' coffin with a highly celebrated goal from junior Andrea Archila. The goal was Archila's first of the season and first of her collegiate career.
Sophomore Cassidy Wilson picked up the win in goal for the Falcons, adding two stops to bring her season saves tally to 31. Wilson currently leads Conference Carolinas in two individual goalkeeping categories, besting the conference with a 56.4 save percentage and only 24 goals against.
The Falcons return to action on April 3rd when they travel to Mount Olive for a 4:00 p.m. contest.

Game One Box Score
Game Two Box Score
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara softball team (22-22, 5-9) snapped a four-game losing skid on Saturday as they shut out Pacific (17-28, 2-12), 3-0, in game one of this weekend's three-game Big West Conference series at the Tigers' Bill Simoni Field. The Tigers returned the favor in the doubleheader's second game, defeating the Gauchos, 3-2.
In game one, the Gauchos scored all three runs at the top of the first inning. Christine Ramos led off with a single to the right side and Jessica Ziegler then reached on an error by the Tiger first baseman while bunting Ramos over to second. An illegal pitch allowed Ramos to move to third before another Pacific error by the first baseman put Tiffany Wright on-base and sent Ramos home.
Amanda Ziegler then grounded out second base, sending her sister home for the unearned run. A third Tiger error put Katie McWhirter on first, and one play later, Jessica Beristianos grounded out to first base, driving Wright home and giving UCSB a 3-0 lead.
Defensively, Krista Cobb (15-8) held the Tigers to just three hits during a complete game performance. She walked three and struck out three in the win. Cobb is now just one win away from tying Jennifer Davis' (2004-07) record for most wins by a UCSB freshman pitcher.
For Pacific, Chelsea Engle (7-13) also had a stellar showing, tossing all seven innings and allowing just three hits. She walked none, struck out two and did not allow an earned run.
At the plate, Christine Ramos accounted for two of the Gauchos' three hits and tallied a run. Amanda Ziegler had the other hit - a double - and an RBI.
In game two, Pacific got on the scoreboard first at the bottom of the third inning when Nicole Matson led off with a solo home run over the right center field fence.
The Tigers stretched the lead in the fourth when Briana Santos hit an RBI single to right center field with two runners on and two outs, driving Lindsey Pierce home for an unearned run.
At the top of the sixth inning, Jessica Ziegler led off with a single to the shortstop and then stole second base before Wright hit a homer over the left field fence, tying the game at two apiece.
With two outs at the top bottom of the sixth, Kellee Wilson earned a walk and then Amanda Collier hit a single to the shortstop. During the same play, Wilson advanced to third base due to a Gaucho throwing error. Lauren Weyman followed with a RBI single up the middle, sending Wilson home for the gamewinning run.
MeLinda Matsumoto (2-9) took the loss after tossing the final 3.1 innings. She allowed two runs - one earned - on seven hits. She struck out three and walked one. Tami Weston started the game and allowed one earned run on five hits in 2.2 innings of work. She walked one and struck out two.
Gabby McDaniel (3-9) got the win after throwing two perfect innings with three strikeouts. Michelle Tait tossed the first five innings and allowed two earned runs on five hits with two walks.
The Gauchos will complete their three-game set with Pacific on Sunday with a noon game at Bill Simoni Field.
With the arrival of Mark Massari as Athletics Director in October, UCSB Athletics also launched the Gauchos Give community outreach initiative for all 450 athletes and 20 sports. Gaucho athletes give back to their community through free clinics, helping families during the holidays, providing financial and emotional support during tragedies, and touching the lives of youth groups.

NEW YORK, March 23 (UPI) -- PBS says it plans to air next month "Saving the Titanic," an ensemble drama about the men who tried to save the sinking British ship in 1912.
The movie is to premiere April 1. The 100th anniversary of the maritime disaster, which happened after the luxury liner hit an iceberg, is April 14.
"Everyone knows about the many deaths in the icy waters, the fates of the rich and famous on the ship's maiden voyage and the dramas that played out in the Titanic's last hours," a synopsis said. "What is less known is how a team of shipbuilders and engineers attempted to save the stricken vessel. One hundred years after the sinking of the vessel considered unsinkable, 'Saving the Titanic" is the untold story of self-sacrifice and dignity of the ship's engineers, stokers and firemen in the face of impending death."
The cast includes David Wilmot, Ciaran McMenamin, Owen McDonnell, Jonathan Byrne, Andrew Simpson, Hugh O'Conor, Douglas Rankine, Paul Kennedy, Stephen Hogan, Conor MacNeill and Chris Newman.

OAKLAND >> Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson had to have known that most of the questions Sunday morning before Game 4 of his team's Western Conference playoff series against the Clippers at Oracle Arena would center on something much deeper than the game.
However, he embraced the opportunity to give his thoughts on the alleged racist comments made by Clippers owner Donald Sterling during a recent argument with his girlfriend V. Stiviano.
"To me, it's ministry, so I think it's great to have a platform and to have dialogue about this," said Jackson, a licensed minister. "And it exposes some evil. And I think it's an advantage.
Now, it's time for me, for you, for ownership, for players, for the league, for society, to step up and let's start challenging these folks and let's start putting pressure on these folks. … It's just sad to believe that people feel this way today. It's unfortunate."
During an audio feed, a man allegedly believed to be Sterling berated his girlfriend for posing for a picture with Magic Johnson at a recent Clippers game in Los Angeles.
One of the many things the man believed to be Sterling said was, "It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast … that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?"
Warriors players also affected
Jackson wanted to make something else very clear – his players also have felt the brunt of this situation.
"Please don't think it's just the Clippers that's been affected by these comments," Jackson said. "I think it has affected us all. And it's difficult to believe that, as crazy as it sounds, that that's the mentality of, I wish I could say one person, but that's the mentality of a lot of folks today and it's unfortunate.
"We've come too far, and there are a lot of folks that have sacrificed their life to make this a better place."
Jackson said he spoke with his team Saturday about all of it.
"We talked briefly yesterday before practice," he said. "Obviously, this a big story, and it's gotta be dealt with accordingly. … So we talked about it and we moved forward, but it's not going to end even as we play the game today. This is a process."
Doc Rivers comments on President Obama's reaction
President Barack Obama had something to say about Sterling's alleged comments from Malaysia. In part, he said, "When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk."
Rivers was asked what he thought about that.
"You know, I guess you can take a lot of things out of any comments," he said. "And the fact that he was, what, in Malaysia, said enough to me that he was speaking of that. That was the first question, I think.
"And I think what he was saying is you ignore it and do your job. But I don't know."
Reporters flock to Game 4
The Golden State Warriors public relations staff informed reporters at 9:55 a.m. Sunday morning at Oracle Arena that they should get into the pre-game interview room real early because some of them would not be able to get in if they didn't.
Why? Because there were at least 100 more credential requests for Game 4 than there were for Game 3 on the heels of the Sterling fiasco.

You love Windows so, yet you've had 25 flings over the past 10 years with various Linux products? You philanderer, you! :-D
Oddly, I've had exactly the opposite experience with hardware. Linux works out of the box with almost everything I've tried, while Windows has generally required that I search out and install at least one or two drivers per install (either that or dig through the dusty CD bin). We have very different tastes in hardware, I suppose.
One of the great things about libre software is that it tends to run on every platform we use. Of course, we've discovered the same is now true (at least for Windows and Red Hat) for most commercial software that we use - other than Microsoft Office or the occasional vertical app, app needs favor Windows far less frequently than in the Red Hat 5.2 days. Benchmarks show our apps run much faster under Linux, though, which is certainly driving our architecture.
This is important, as the ongoing mobile revolution is shaking up the market dramatically. It's interesting to see Microsoft following Ubuntu's lead in moving to a mobilesque shell on their primary product. This is a particularly good time to broaden your experiences beyond the WIMP paradigm, as the big UI innovators now are Android and iOS, driving touch to laptops and desktops - who hasn't absently tried to move a window or activate a button on a laptop screen with their finger yet?
OS philandering is important to any self-respecting geek. Heck, you should spend 4 evenings with Haiku - you never know who might steal your heart! ;-)

Mom and I are so excited to bring you our 2nd recipe for Moda Bake Shop! This quilt "Eydie A's" is designed and named in Grandpa's (mom's dad) memory. This lovely quilt uses a jelly roll and both a dark and a light print to set off the scrappy blocks. It is made using Blueberry Crumb Cake by Blackbird Designs…the perfect line for Moda Bake Shop.
1 jelly roll Blueberry Crumb Cake by Blackbird Designs
2 5/8 yards tan sprig on cream for background triangles
3 2/3 yards cream flower on blue for sashing, border, and binding
94 x 108 inches batting
7 1/2 yards backing
2 5/8 yards tan sprig on cream for background triangles
3 2/3 yards cream flower on blue for sashing, border, and binding
94 x 108 inches batting
7 1/2 yards backing
Using the Jelly Roll strips piece together in sets of 2 for a total of 20 sets. Do not press yet.
Then piece the sets of 2 together for 10 sets of 4. Now press each strip set so that the seams are going to same way (all to the left or all to the right).
Layout and cross cut them into 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch combination strips for a total of 168 combination strips.
Piece combination strips together into groups of 2. Be sure that seams are pressed opposite of each other when pairing them up.
Piece groups of 2 together for a total of 42–16-patch blocks. Set these aside.
Cut 14–6 3/4 inch strips from the background.
Cut these strips into 84–6 3/4 inch squares. Cut each square in half diagonally once.
Piece the triangles to the blocks.
Piece the triangles opposite and press.
Then piece the remaining triangles. Press.
From the blue… cut 24–3 inch strips for sashing. Using 12 strips, cut 35–3 x 11 3/4 inch sashing strips.
Piece the remaining strips into 6–3 x 86 inch strips
Cut 9–4 inch strips for the borders from the blue and cut 1 strip in half. Piece together 2–4 x 86 inch strips for top and bottom borders. Piece together 2–4 x 106 inch strips for side borders
Cut 9–2 1/4 inch strips for binding from the blue and piece strips end to end.
Layout the quilt as follows: 6 x 7 layout with 86 inch strips running from side to side and the 11 3/4 inch strips running up and down between blocks. Piece together rows of blocks then piece rows to blue sashing strip. Piece borders to top and bottom first then sides.
Layer quilt with backing and batting; quilt as desired. I quilted Eydie A's with a freestyle overlapping meander with white thread.
Trim quilt and stitch binding down.
Then roll the binding over and top stitch binding down (or hand stitch binding down on back).
Eydie A's quilt measuring 88 x 108 inches…
We do have a few kits of Eydie A's using the Blueberry Crumb Cake… check out our online shop… www.sweetgirlstudio.etsy.com

Fashion Week Trend: Barely There Nails
Fashion Week Trend: Barely There Nails
For the past several seasons, nail art has gone positively wild on the runways, so it was inevitable that we'd see a backlash. Fall 2012 is showing hints of a more subtle route, sending out manicures that are high on gloss but feature faded, sometimes altogether absent color. From BCBG to Richard Chai, there are a lot of new ways to wear next to nothing.

Feeding the Dog
Steven J. Covert
College of Veterinary Medicine
Although feeding a dog would seem to be a relatively simple matter, the science of canine nutrition is still a field of intense study and research. The work of nutritionists has led to commercially available diets of extremely high quality. These diets, if used properly, can significantly add to the health and longevity of your dog.
A dog's dietary requirements change depending on its stage of life, activity level and physiologic state. For instance, a growing puppy requires high levels of many nutrients, like protein, to develop strong bones and muscles. Older dogs do not require nearly as much protein; in fact, high-protein diets can over-tax body organs such as the kidneys and actually shorten the dog's life.
Recently, it has been discovered that many diseases in dogs dramatically alter nutritional requirements. Many diets are now available that have been developed specifically for ill or aging dogs. In many instances, these special diets can be the single most important factor in treating the disease.
High-quality diets do not ensure that dogs will remain healthy. It is up to dog owners to feed dogs properly and observe them closely for any indication of a problem. The leading preventable condition that has a profound effect on their health, well being and life span is obesity. It has been estimated that as many as half of all the pet dogs in the United States are overweight.
This publication is intended to help dog owners understand how and what to feed their dogs to give them the greatest chance of long and healthy lives. It is not just the length of the dog's life, but the quality of life for both the dog and its owner that is important.
The dog's status in the household has changed dramatically over the years. Dogs have risen from simple utility animals and guardians of livestock and property to the point where many consider them a part of the family. Thus to many owners, maintaining a happy, healthy dog has become even more important. Even the working or breeding dog can perform better if it receives the nutrition it requires.
Since our understanding of nutrition is constantly changing and each dog has its own individual dietary needs, the information in this publication should only be used as a guideline. Specific questions not covered here should be directed to your veterinarian.
Free access to fresh water at all times is essential for dogs. A dog can get ill and die quickly from dehydration if access is denied. High temperatures, exercise and conditions such as lactation, diarrhea and certain diseases dramatically increase the dog's water requirement. A rough estimate of the maintenance requirement for the dog is approximately 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. An otherwise healthy-appearing dog that is drinking three or more times this amount of water may have a disease, such as diabetes or kidney failure, and should be examined by a veterinarian.
Commercially available diets are the best thing to feed the dog. They should not be supplemented, except for dogs with certain conditions. Adding more vitamins, minerals, fats or proteins can be harmful unless the animal is not getting enough of these nutrients. You should always check with your veterinarian before supplementing a diet.
Table scraps
Many people who feel that dogs need variety in their diets feed table scraps in addition to the regular diet. This is not recommended. Dogs are not people and are perfectly content to eat the same thing every day. Feeding table scraps can encourage the dog to become picky or finicky. Many table scraps can upset a dog's digestive tract and cause vomiting or diarrhea. This is especially true of spicy or fatty foods. In fact, fatty foods can induce a life-threatening disease called pancreatitis in susceptible dogs. Many adult dogs cannot digest milk products and will develop diarrhea if given them.
If table scraps are fed, they should make up less than one-fourth of the total food intake. Scraps should also be a mixture of foods similar to what you would eat for a meal — plenty of vegetables and not just meat scraps.
Homemade diets
Diets that have been formulated for dogs are a precise mixture of many ingredients designed to give an optimum balance of nutrients. Homemade diets are difficult to formulate accurately and usually have excesses and deficiencies that can affect the dog's health. They are difficult to make and store and usually cost more than commercial diets.
If you want to formulate a homemade diet, recipes are available through your veterinarian that will give you the best chance to create a balanced ration.
Weaning and feeding the puppy
The process of weaning a puppy should begin at three to four weeks and be complete by six to eight weeks. Mix a small amount of puppy food with milk or milk replacer to the consistency of soup. Offer this to the puppy in a shallow tray. Initially, it may help to place the puppy's feet in the mixture and allow him to lick it off until he learns what it is. Gradually add less and less milk to the mixture until by six to eight weeks the puppy is eating solid food. Remember, weaning is often a messy process. The puppy should be allowed to develop cleaner habits at his own pace. That is, allow the puppy to be a puppy.
Puppies have large nutritional requirements but small stomachs. They need to eat about six times a day in order to get the amount of food they need to develop properly. By the time they are 6 months old, they only need to eat two or three times per day. An adult dog only needs to eat once a day. The food fed to the puppy must be labeled as puppy food. Adult dog food does not have the proper amounts of vital nutrients that the puppy needs.
A notable exception to the puppy-food-only rule is the large or giant-breed puppy. Many nutritionists feel that developmental bone problems, such as hip dysplasia, may be due to puppies growing too rapidly. They recommend mixing puppy food and adult dog food together to slow this rate of growth. For this reason, among others, puppy diets should not be supplemented or overfed in an effort to increase the growth rate. If fed properly, a dog will reach its ideal adult size; any effort to increase the adult size by supplementing the puppy will lead to an unhealthy dog.
Feeding the adult dog
Different breeds of dogs reach adulthood at different times. Toy or miniature breeds can be fully grown in as little as eight to 10 months, whereas giant breeds may require 18 months or longer. Many dogs continue to mature for another year or two.
A rule of thumb is that the amount of time that it takes for the dog to stop growing in height is about as much additional time as it will require to fully mature. Since the dog is no longer growing as quickly as when it was a puppy, it no longer requires the nutrient-rich puppy food. The dog should now be switched to an adult dog food. Continued feeding of a puppy food promotes obesity and other health problems.
In general, smaller-breed dogs require more food per pound of body weight than larger-breed dogs. For example, a 100-pound Labrador Retriever may weigh 10 times as much as a terrier but only require six times as much food. As mentioned, adult dogs usually only need to eat once daily. Some smaller breeds may do better if fed twice daily.
What to feed
The choice of what to feed is obviously up to the individual owner. The choices available are canned food, semi-moist foods and dry foods. All three types are nutritionally the same and are complete rations by themselves. Canned foods are three-fourths water and thus cost more for the same amount of nutrients. Likewise, semi-moist foods require special processing and packaging, which add to the cost. Dry foods are the most cost-effective and require the least amount of storage space. Dogs do perfectly well eating only dry dog foods.
Once the type of food has been decided, you should not change back and forth. Pick one type (or types) and one brand and stick with it. Changing from different types or brands of dog food can upset the dog's system and lead to vomiting or diarrhea.
How much to feed
Each dog is an individual requiring its own certain amount of food to maintain optimum body condition. The feeding charts and guidelines supplied by the dog food manufacturer are only rough estimates. The amount that any individual dog requires may be more or less than recommended. Obviously, working dogs, dogs that get a lot of exercise, pregnant and lactating dogs require substantially more food.
The dog owner must be able to determine how much is the proper amount for their particular dog. Although it seems obvious that undernutrition and starvation are bad for the dog, overnutrition and obesity can be just as bad for the dog's health and are much more common. Once a dog becomes overweight, it can be very difficult to get it back to its ideal weight.
Puppies should gain weight steadily but not be allowed to get fat. An adult dog should be well muscled but not obese. A good rule of thumb is that you should not be able to see the dog's ribs, but you should be able to feel them under the skin by lightly running your hands along its sides. If you are unable to feel the ribs, or have to push in to feel them, the dog is overweight.
Many people feel that an overweight dog is a happy dog. This is not true! Obesity is extremely damaging to a dog and greatly reduces its life expectancy and quality of life. Obesity decreases immune function, stresses the heart and lungs, damages the joints and increases the risk for certain types of cancer. It is not kind to overfeed a dog; it is cruel and unhealthy.
Feeding habits
Eating habits, like many other habits, begin early in life. Beginning at weaning, the dog should be offered food, given a set amount of time to eat (15 minutes is sufficient), then the food should be removed until the next scheduled feeding. Dogs should not be given access to food all the time. This promotes obesity and may cause the dog to become finicky.
One of the first signs that a dog may be ill is that its appetite decreases. If a dog is fed at regularly scheduled times, this decrease in appetite will be noticed immediately. Feeding the dog when the family eats not only makes it seem more like a member of the family, but decreases or ends begging at the table.
Dogs also usually need to defecate about 30 minutes after eating. The convenience of a regular eating schedule is obvious. It can be very difficult to house train a dog that eats all day long.
Snacks and treats
Snacks and treats are just doggy junk food. They should not be considered a dietary supplement. They are much more like fattening desserts such as cakes and cookies. This is not to say that they should never be given, but be sparing and prudent with them. Many dogs become obese by eating treats. Aside from the obvious problem of obesity, if a dog eats many treats, it has less room (and less desire) to eat its proper diet, which can lead to health problems.
Changing diets
Again, it is best to maintain the dog on the same type and brand of dog food. This leads to more consistent eating and defecating habits and makes it much easier to regulate the dog's weight.
Sometimes it may be desirable or necessary to change the dog's diet, for example when making a switch from puppy food to adult food or when a particular food becomes unavailable. It is very important that the change to a new food be done gradually. Any abrupt change in food will lead to diarrhea and vomiting.
The change to the new food should take one to two weeks. Begin by adding a small amount of the new food to the original food. Gradually add more and more until you are feeding the new food exclusively. If this sounds similar to weaning, it should. You are literally weaning the dog off the old food and onto the new food.
Pregnancy and lactation
The average pregnancy in the dog lasts about 61 days. If the dog is in good body condition, she does not need additional food for the first three weeks. During the second three weeks she requires about 15 percent more food. By the final three weeks she may require 1-1/2 times as much food as she did before pregnancy. When she is nursing her pups, her food requirement goes up dramatically. She has to feed all of those growing puppies. When nursing a large litter, her food requirements can be five times or more what they were previously. This is another good reason to start weaning puppies at 3 weeks old.
If you follow the guidelines in this publication, you have an excellent chance to maintain a healthy, well-nourished dog. But remember, these are only guidelines. For additional information not covered here, please contact your veterinarian. Good luck to you and your dog.

Chamber announces move
The Poteau Chamber of Commerce is expected to move into the Donald W. Reynolds Community Center in the next few months, according to chamber Executive Director Karen Wages.The move is part of a deal with the city allowing the chamber to manage the facility.The City Council voted this week to offer the management contract to the chamber. Chamber directors are expected to vote on the contract at noon Tuesday. The center and chamber will remain separate entities, but wil share staff and space, Wages said."There will be some rebranding," she said.As home of the chamber, then center will function as a tourism information center.Wages will remain chamber CEO and assume duties as manager of the events center.Center employees Larry Hancock and Stevie Bruesch will remain. Shannon delaCruz will remain in her position with the chamber and Patti Curry will become a full-time employee, Wages said."This [managing the Reynolds Center] is really nothing new to the chamber. We've been doing it since Jan. 1 [when the former center director moved away]." she said."We will continue to book events, sell tickets and promote the shows," she said."The city, the chamber and the Reynolds Center have been working as one since it opened," she said."We want the center to grow and bring more people to Poteau."She said chamber officials will look at leasing out the current headquarters building.The 37,000 square-feet Reynolds Center opened in November 2011 through a $7.8 million grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation. Upcoming events are include Good Times Community Theatre League's presentation of "The Magical Music of Disney" Sept. 12, 14, and 15, MercyMe in concert Sept. 19 and Gene Watson on Nov. 2.
