If you have played a fire emblem game you know that you are not actually moving the character. It's basically a choose "attack" then watch a movie of your character attack said enemy.
thus why I feel the graphics should be able to be twice that compared to a full 3D action adventure game or a first person shooter or any other genre.
Heck they even have an option in settings where you can skip the "movie" and it just slashes your game pieces on the board for damage. That's because thats all it is, a movie. You are watching the exact same attack for the entire game with said character. Only difference is sometimes its a critical. So then there is at most 2 attacks per character.

I spend less time looking at games that aren't out in U.S. yet than I did in the past. I used to research them and anticipate their release too much before I got my hands on them that by the time I did I didn't enjoy them cause it seemed like I already had played the game.
Thus I don't know much about htis game, and also its release in Japan as a mystery as well.
I guess I should wait and see how it looks on 3ds screen as well. I mean I'm watching that video on a 27" monitor in full screen at 1080p. seeing it on a 4" screen with smaller resolution I'm sure will look quite drastically different. Maybe those jaggies I see won't even be noticable.
Still though based on the CGI movies, i wish the in-engine characters looked more skyward sword art style, than their current look.
FYI I usually never copmlain about graphics in any game, so its not like I'm a graphics whore. Just wish the art style was different based on the CGI trailers, and wish it was better due to the style of the game. Feel like it could utilize more power cause it is esentially just showing a movie for each attack.

The only Fire Emblem games where the units stagger from being hit are the 3D ones.

I find your points quite strange since they either miss the point of the genre of the game, or you simply complain something that has nothing to do with the game.

Those that can't wait for this can always look into the english patch being finalized for FE12 that should be coming out by next month.
Anyway, for this I'm unable to choose.
Tiamo.. Or her daughter Selena and her Tsundere goodness?
Lucina somehow managed to become quite popular as well.
If only we could have a harem in this game. For both MU and FeMU. Though I apologize to any players that are into Yaoi or Yuri since those aren't options in this due to the children system.

It is the first time they've done DLC as well for the FE series. That's why the first batch was just about popular characters. They were taken by surprise at how well the DLC was selling that they decided on more DLC and increased the quality of the next batch by a wide margin. The Alternate Future DLC series is pretty good and explains more about the children and there's the challenge ones as well.
Finally there is the fluff one that's going to add a ton of dialogue between the base game characters in different scenarios. Like a Festival Episode, a Beach Episode, and a Hot Springs Episode. Now they're just missing a High School Episode.
No idea on Worlds.

I know Nintendo is a good company in regards to DLC, they don't charge much or else if they feel its not something worth charging.
For example Animal Crossing 3DS will be free DLC stuff
New Super mario Bros 2 had DLC that was only $2.50
What did they do for Fire Emblem.
Hope they not copying every other company and no matter how trivial its $10. such as $10 for a costume, ect.

It can get pricey. Though none of the DLC is really required unless you want to do Lunatic+ Challenge DLC maps than you are required to get the Limit Breaker skill which is at the end of the characters DLC. So yeah, that can get pricey.
Personally I'm just getting the Support Maps, the Alternate Future Series, and Lyn Character DLC map(and the things required to get it. I forgot if it had any requirements). Oh, and the free Spotpass characters like Paris.

Welp, looks like either the NA streetdate has been broken, or they decided to release it early.
And man, Lunatic mode is FRIGGING hard (and I think RNG favors the computer, as three times already they crit either Chrom or Robin with only 3% crit chance lol). I wanted to pair up childhood friends, but the way it is going, I think I might just pair them up with other people for powergaming reasons (as looking at stats, pairing for example Chrom with Sully gimps two children units for example).
Oh well, I guess I have to settle for the children units then to be paired up for childhood friends. XD

Hadn't looked into this series before now, the demo for Awakening was pretty nice. Might pick up the title sometime. Seems some of the older titles weren't released to the US, that's a bummer at least for the newer ones (like Shin Monshou no Nazo).

ign gives it a 9.6 - http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/...akening-review
that's a pretty good start already. ^_____^
i already pre-ordered this game on amazon. i hope they wont be delay or anything because
of potential delay due to shortage of the games; this game is selling like candies.
i'll probably start the game as a male avatar because i want him to marry Olivia. <3
i'll have Chrom marry Sumia. and then on the second play thru, i'll make a female
avatar and have her marry....i dont know any of the male cast yet. and have her
boy Mark marry Lucina (Chrom's daughter). cant hardly wait for this game to come out.
i've love ALL the previous Fire Emblem i played before
and this one is going to be a BLAST.

Personally, I was going to go male Avatar and marry Lucina, but I've since decided I may prefer to go female and marry Chrom, and just make a ridiculously strong team that supports everyone (which I can't do with the characters I want if I go male Avatar). Decisions, decisions...

BehaviorRead full entry
Hermit crab shell-switching patterns have been used as case studies in vacancy chain theory (Lewis and Rotjan 2009), a body of theory originally developed by sociologists to understand how vacancies involving discrete, reusable, and limited resources such as apartments, jobs, and cars are transferred within human populations. When an individual gets a new resource, the vacancy thus created can propagate down the socioeconomic order through a series of interdependent events, with the result that many individuals can benefit "downstream" through the acquisition of new physical resources or social positions. Rotjan et al. (2010) describe 2 types of hermit crab vacancy chains, synchronous and asynchronous. These 2 types of vacancy chains are both social and stand in direct contrast to solitary shell interactions involving a single crab and a single shell. Synchronous vacancy chains occur after several crabs adjacent to an available vacant shell have queued in decreasing size order; as soon as the largest crab switches into the vacant shell, a rapid series of sequential shell switches takes place. In contrast, in asynchronous vacancy chains individual crabs encountering a suitable vacant shell will switch and their discarded shells will later be discovered and occupied by other crabs. Thus, asynchronous vacancy chains do not involve social interactions or queue formation, and sequential shell switches take place over considerably longer time periods. In both cases, vacancy chains are terminated when the last shell discarded is of such low quality (too small or damaged) that all crabs reject it. In field observations, Rotjan et al. (2010) found that after investigation of a vacant shell that was too large, hermit crabs would remain near (within 50 cm) the shell rather than moving away immediately: crab waiting times ranged from several minutes to more than an hour, and up to 20 waiters at a time were present near the empty shell. Crabs exhibited waiting behavior at 55% (6 of 11) of stations with large vacant shells and at 100% (9 of 9) of stations with medium vacant shells. Waiters were observed at all stations where synchronous vacancy chains eventually occurred. (Rotjan et al. 2010 and references therein)

I was thinking about something we could do to foster divisional pride and rivalry. ADPR is okay. I've always enjoyed the tournament aspect of MFLS, and so I thought that a division tournament would be interesting and fun. But how to structure it?
Consider this: Each participating division manager would sign up his/her division. We would play a round robin matching divisions head-to-head each week. Before the weekly deadline, each division manager would nominate two teams to carry the flag that week, so each tournament game is 2v2 with the scores added together. Each individual team can only be used once or twice, depending on the number of games we have. In the end, the top two will meet for the Cup, and the DM could select any team.
To participate, each division would need to be of a certain size, and, of course, have an active manager to submit teams each week.
Is there any interest? I'm happy to run it. If there is, we could do a test run for the last few weeks of this season to iron out the rules, web site, and such.
Just a thought.

Could be interesting but the only problem I could see is that
there aren't many divisions who A) would participate and B) be
able to compete with the top 4 or so due to depth.
That said four divisions would still make a tournament and be
On a bigger scale, I want to see divisions be smaller
personally. Split the 200 active teams or so into 20 divisions of
ten teams only. Just hard to split at this point and get someone
to run each division.

It's a cool idea. I agree with Todd that depth may be an issue
but, even if it was just a few divisions it would still be fun to me.

At least twice the AAPL challenged Brew City to some kind of divisional competition, only for Brew City to predictably back down.
I think it's something better to be planned over the offseason than thrown together now.
Division Challenge Cup? Yes.
Practical? I don't know, not that many strong divisions, even less with weekly active managers, division sizes aren't the same, etc ...
Picking teams to represent I don't think would work, not enough division managers have the time to do that.
If all divisions were equal then you could just do total division score per week, even in a H2H or rotisserie type format.
Since equally sized divisions is unlikely you could still do the same with top x (4-10) scores per week or something.

I remember talking about that in the past, at least as a BCFA vs
AAPL (i.e., Good vs Evil) competition. I think we all liked the idea,
and the only problem was not that 'BCFA' backed down (how do
you dare, Matt? You know I would not back down from taking
down the whole AAPL singlehandedly!) but that it would had
required a managerial effort from all divisions involved, and back
then it wasn't the best moment for some of the managers to step
up and take responsibility for yet another competition.
Thus, if Dan and the remaining divisional brass are willing to put
the extra time, I think it is a fantastic idea. If anything, the only
problem I see is for BCFA. I am assuming that Dan would
logically want to select me every week as one of the division
representatives (if we do this, we would want to pick the cream
of the crop), and right now I am starting the new course year,
which all the extra work involved. Thus I might be a tad
distracted and my performance may drop a bit along the next
few weeks.
However, some of our second-tier managers could probably step
to the plate. If young and inexperienced, guys like Phoenix, Top-
Shelf, Laws of Lalas, Dynamo... could be decent subs. At least
maybe late into the second half (fresh legs and so on).

Thanks for the feedback. Good stuff.
I did think this would be limited to only a handful of division. Realistically, I thought we'd have the top divisions that I track for ADPR points:
But even if it were just three or four, I feel it would be fun and interesting.
I think most division managers are active. If they're not, then they don't play. If they sign up and then don't submit teams, we don't invite them back. That's one of the reasons I thought of a short trial tournament in the final weeks this year That would help us gauge how practical it would be and how diligent the managers are.
I'd like to set it up so that a division would need to go eight or ten deep into the roster. That's why I thought of 2v2 and not repeating more than once or twice. That would depend on the number of participating divisions.
Another thing we could do is to have managers pre-submit teams if that manager does not have the time to set the participants each week. That would work just fine. Or the manager can delegate that task to another team to duly represent the division.
I'm willing to give it a go for a trial this season. We can start on week 28. That give us six weeks for some kind of round robin. If you're a division manager and want in, please say so here.
Thanks again for taking the time to think it through.

brew city spent years recruiting, kicking people out of the division and adding top 10 teams DURING the season to pad their division standing ... not impressed.
AAPL doesn't kick people out, if someone doesn't play MFLS one year we still invite them back when they rejoin, we add active teams which is about our only requirement to join our group and we have twice as much fun. Twice as many threads, hundreds of most posts, even this year probably the most active brew city has been on their forums, and their entire season looks like a random Tuesday in the AAPL and that's with us on a down year for total threads/posts.
Not sure a 2v2 format does a whole lot, I'm not our division manager though but that seems more like an ACC/Big Ten shootout than a multiple divisions competition. Like I was suggesting, should be a total/average score of a whole lot more teams in the division.
e.g. Matchday 1 BCFA v. UvW only top 10 scores count. BCFA averages 26.5 for the week, UvW averages 27, UvW picks up 3 points ... Not that this idea is the best, but it's more representative of a larger majority of the division - hence division competition. If Seattle SC wants to play ONE week in a 'competition' then I'll schedule a friendly v. Luis, win and say another win for the good guys.

I think it is a fantastic idea, Dan. But may need some retooling.
The problem I see with your initial draft is how to avoid for some
division managers to know already the teams the other divisions
are picking. You could select the BCFA's teams before any other
division every week, but there would not be an easy way to prove
that you had done so (this is to say, without publicizing them
first, which would bring us back to square one). I think
everybody would trust you, but with these things it is better to
be safe than sorry, and avoid any potential disputes from the
start on.
Something I think might work would be an automatic system
based on random selection: generating a random set of numbers
for each division and week (let's say, from 1 to 10 or 15, to limit
the number of teams and correct for differences in division size).
Then, each week the team(s) currently classified in those
positions would be the ones playing the interdivisional cup.
There are different options (for example, each division would
play only against a second one or against all the remaining ones
each week), but this would be an easy example:
Lets say that BCFA plays the AAPL that week, and we want the
round to be based on three matches. There would be two sets of
numbers for those two divisions for that week; let's say {8,3,6}
and {7,5,1}. The matches for that week would be 8th BC vs 7th
AAPL, 3th BC vs 5th AAPL, and 6th BC vs 1st AAPL. Three points
for the win and one for the tie.
I think that system could be fun and have some advantages. For
example, as the schedule, but not the actual teams would be
known beforehand (it would depend on the results of the
previous week), it would entice the managers to keep an eye on
their positions, in case they would be the division representatives
the following week. It also let's it open for a the same team to
play several rounds (one more thing to look forward). Plus I think
that in the long run it would provide a fair representation of the
strength and performance of each division while still maintaining
a good component of chance and look (if the tournament just
reflected exactly the real quality of each division, we could just
save us the time and award it to BCFA beforehand).
As I mentioned above, we could also select a number of teams
per division and week equal to that of participating divisions; so
that each division would play all remaining ones each week. Or,
if we go for the 'one division per week' system, limiting the
number of times that a team can participate.
Generating the random numbers (or random order of
participation if that is what we opted for) would be quick and
easy, and would save time and headaches for the division
managers, who would not have to select the teams personally
each week. Basically the system would be automated, and they
would only have to check the scores at the end of each week.

April 9, 2013 — I suppose you could say I got up at 3:38 am this morning, but I don't think I ever really went to sleep. I did get into my sleeping bag around 10 pm last night, but I didn't sleep. Yesterday we had 20-knot katabatic winds, cold air flowing off the ice sheet near the surface – strong winds, blowing the recent snow into our faces, which feels like being sandblasted but with sharp ice particles. With wind breaks, created with bamboo stakes and tarps, Ludo and I were able to complete our third and final shallow ice core while Rick and Clem prepared all of the final electronics for the thermistor strings. As a reminder, the shallow ice cores are to look at the density structure of the firn above the aquifer, while the thermistor strings will measure the temperatures 60-m deep into the aquifer for the next year so we can learn more about how it was formed.
But I digress to science, let me get back to why I so rudely had to leave my tent in the wee hours of the morning. I last officially measured the winds at 25 knots at around 10 pm with our hand-held weather station. At 25 knots, the blowing snow is annoying but you can still see through it and walk normally. The noise of the tent blowing was loud but tolerable. By midnight, though, the tent was blowing too loudly to sleep, even with earplugs. I guess we were at 30 knots. At 2:40 am, in Ludo, Clem and Rick's yellow Arctic oven tent, Clem woke Ludo up to make sure the tent corner was still intact (it was), while Rick, who was being showered by the wind blowing the condensation crystals off of the roof and onto his face was also wondering if he was still inside the tent or if it has blown away in his sleep leaving him in a snow drift. He looked up and was relieved to see the tent roof.
I was by myself in a smaller mountain tent. With these tents, we build snow walls behind them to stop the snowdrifts from getting in. My tent wall, built from snow blocks, was about 4-foot tall. At around 3 am, I became aware that the back of my tent was filling in with snow and pushing in on me — I knew I would soon have to get out of the tent and shovel. This is nothing new to me, but I still can't imagine anyone who enjoys getting out of a warm sleeping bag into a barrage of ice pellets to shovel snow in the dark. Well, it had to be done. I rummaged around to find my head lamp, pulled on my boots and parka, took a sip off my tube of sweeten condensed milk (a great treat and source of heat if you are cold when you are sleeping) and crawled out of my tent. And I mean crawled: the drift had come around the front of the tent and I had to squeeze my way between the vestibule and the snow drift.
I would like to say that I simply stood up and started shoveling but with the winds, probably just shy of 40 knots by now, made it difficult to walk. I kept falling on the drifts while bracing against the wind trying to get to the back of my tent to assess the damage. Sure enough, the drift had come up over the wall — I had not built it tall enough for this storm. I dug out the drift at the back of the tent and made my wall higher. This helped and it would get me through the night until daylight, when I would build a new second wall behind the first. I got back in my sleeping bag around 4:15 am and waited until 6:30 am to get up, take a weather observation and go to go to the cook tent. It was, after all, our scheduled take-out day, but there was no way a helicopter could come in this weather. I called in the weather report for the pilots at 6:50 a.m.: 25 knots sustained winds gusting to 30 knots, -15.2 C (4.6 F), surface definition poor, blowing snow. It doesn't get much worse than that, so we all knew we would be here another day. I went back out with Ludo to start building a new wall for my tent. With all the blowing snow and wind, it was wet, tiring work and the long full days of fieldwork were catching up with me. I knew I needed a rest, but once the wall was built there would be nothing to do but sit in our tents and rest for a few days.
While Ludo and I built the wall, Rick and Clem went to work on charging the batteries for the thermistor string. They went out to the drill site, where the thermistors are placed down the boreholes, to find the wall they had built yesterday for a windbreak had blown over. They started the generator to charge the batteries and it blew over in the wind. Defeated, they correctly decided to come back to the cook tent to try again later once the storm was over.
Around 9:15 am, I realized that wow,it was only 9:15 am and already it had been a busy day. We all ended up back in the cook tent beaten by the wind and called for our check in. To my surprise, the pilots did not cancel our flights — they asked for another weather report at 11:00 am saying that the weather forecast called for diminishing winds at 10 am. We all laughed – together as a team, we have over 40 years experience working in cold icey places and we were certain we would be here for not only one more day, but probably a few more. So we made some hot drinks to warm us up, dried off and sat down in the cook tent. Suddenly, I realized it seemed rather quiet. Clem opened the tent door and, in a matter of about 15 minutes, our 25-knot plus winds dropped to 8 knots. We were all dumbfounded. I called in the new weather conditions 8 knots sustained winds, -14 C (6.8 F), surface definition clear, no blowing snow… it doesn't get much better than that!
Then the mad dash started. We completed the final installation of the thermistor strings, packed the food boxes, dug out the cargo and tents from the drifts and pack our personal gear. The helo was scheduled to arrive at 12:30 pm and it did, taking half the gear, Jay and Rick away. Ludo, Clem and I took down the last two tents (for safety, we always leave one up until we know our transport is on its way) and waited for our flight. At 3:45 pm, we left our camp with everything but the thermistor strings.
Ludo, Clem and I landed softly at around 5:00 pm, still a bit shocked that we had gone from a huge storm on the ice sheet to a calm and sunny Kulusuk in the same day. We unloaded the helicopter, walked to the warehouse, unloaded the gear and opened up every box so all the blowing snow could dry out. After the work was completed, we had an hour to shower and put on clean clothes for a nice dinner of salmon at Hotel Kulusuk. We were all feeling good but tired: we realized we had all worked every waking hour we were in the field to get back on schedule from the delayed put-in Field work is hard, but always rewarding!
In the middle of dinner, the hotel manager came out and said there were three polar bears across the fjord, a mother and two cubs. We grabbed binoculars and were able to see fuzzy, creamy dots on a big rock, on an island in the middle of the frozen fjord. Very cool! Many of the people from the town were taking snowmobiles out to look at the furry visitors.
I have been writing most of the blog posts so far, but now the rest of the team members are going to submit some posts on the specific science they are doing to give you different perspective on the trip. Enjoy them as they are posted over the next few days, with lots of images of the work form the field!

Zombies are a type of undead creature that is popular in science fiction and fantasy.
In popular culture, zombies are animated corpses. Unlike (at least modern) vampires, zombies are generally subject to decay and have little or no intelligence. In the source myths, zombies are raised to serve by Voodoo priests. In modern fiction, zombies are reanimated by things such as radiation, chemical compounds, or micro-organisms; they may even be technically alive, just altered in behavior by whatever created the zombie effect. Magically re-animated zombies still appear in modern fantasy literature, as well, usually as low-end cannon fodder and/or as defensive measures.
Typical movie zombies possess one or more of the following attributes:
- Minimal cognitive abilities: At most they are capable of basic tool use, like using a rock to break a window. They do not make plans or organize, they just respond to stimuli.
- Hunger: They usually have a primal urge to kill and eat live animals, but not carrion. It's not clear why dead zombies hunger, but feeding may slow their rate of decay. Even living zombies won't attack other zombies, although the reason for such behavior is unclear.
- Contagion: People who are bitten by zombies typically die and reanimate as additional zombies (presuming they are not consumed by other zombies). Even if the condition isn't spread solely by zombie bites, the infection from a bite is certain to kill the victim.
- Slowness: Zombies generally don't move very quickly. Unless pursuing prey, the tend to wander aimlessly or become dormant, although some have dim memories of their past lives, which causes them to repeat common behaviors from when they were living. "Fresh" (or living) zombies may be able run as fast as a living human, but they decay and accumulated damage tends to slow them down over time.
- Relentlessness: Zombies generally don't feel pain and will press on regardless of damage. In most zombie movies, the most efficient way of destroying them is to shoot them in the head, as the body won't function if the brain is destroyed. Some zombies can only be defeated by enough damage to make them immobile and harmless, such as total dismemberment. Zombies that are technically alive can be killed by any mortal wound, although lesser injuries will not deter them.
Individual zombies can be a danger, but they can usually be dispatched by a person who is knowledgeable and reasonably prepared. Zombies typically only pose a threat in large groups, although their ability to spread disease is always a hazard.
Zombie Apocalypse
A common scenario in fiction is that of a zombie outbreak which threatens or destroys human civilization. However, such scenarios are unrealistic. Modern weapons (particularly armored fighting vehicles, belt-fed automatic weapons, artillery, and airpower) are more than capable of bringing down large numbers of zombies with minimal risk to the humans operating them. Despite this, a number of of Zombie Survivalist Fanwhores believe that the military could not contain a large-scale zombie outbreak.

As the Overnight Coordinator here at the Museum I have had the privilege of spending many nights here at the Museum. It is a lot of fun, kids and parents often ask if my job is a little bit like the job Larry Daly has in the Night at the Museum movie and I always say "it's not quite THAT exciting!" but it is definitely a great program!
Our Spring Overnight schedule is packed and by the end of May we will have seen 3 school groups from out of state, 5 scout groups and even one Overnight for Educators only! Because some of our school field trips and our weekend Overnights fill up six months to a year in advance, we have decided to start up another option for those of you who'd like to know what the Museum is like after the field trips leave and the doors are shut for the day… the late night of HMNS!
Our first Late Night has been developed for a group that is going to be auctioning off the spots for a fundraiser at their elementary school. They've selected to see a Cool Chemistry show (performed by our very own Carolyn of Science on Stage,) a Planetarium show, have a pizza party with the dinosaurs and then a late night flashlight tour of all of the spooky and gross things to see around the Museum!
The groups for these events are limited and activities can be selected to suit your group so you really do get the personalized backstage pass to the Museum after hours! We're hoping this program will grow and we will be able to share our fun Museum adventures with more students and families who may not be quite ready to stay the whole night with us!! For more information on setting up an Overnight or a Late Night for your group, email me at email@example.com.
As part of the FunHundred we're also offering a couple of late night events for families to sign up for individually including Dinos After Dark and A Night at the Museum — check them out!

The Neighbors Foundation of Grand Island is assisting a record 68 families in temporary distress this holiday season.
Thursday at the Knights of Columbus Mary Star of the Sea Council No. 4752 hall, members of the Neighbors Foundation and volunteers began the task of sorting hundreds of pounds of donations from generous Islanders bound for Islanders in need of a helping hand.
Neighbors Foundation President Hank Kammerer said the volume of donations is "about the same" as in years past. "Since we have more families, we will give out more Tops gift cards to supplement the canned and nonperishable foods that we're getting."
He noted that there are more than 130 children in the distressed families the foundation is assisting this holiday season.
The increase in the number of families could be from "better awareness of the Neighbors Foundation, but some of that is the economy," Kammerer said, noting the economy has increased the number of unemployed and underemployed.
Cheryl Chamberlain said 26 students, three from Connor Middle School and 23 from Grand Island High School, volunteered with the sorting and packaging of donated goods.
"I think it's really cool," GIHS senior Kevin Freedman said of the labor of sorting and delivering donations. "It's a great thing that we do. I really wanted to do it last year because I know it's giving back to families right here on the Island."
Grand Island is an affluent community, but not without people in hardship.
"There's people -- just like in any community, even wealthy communities -- that are in need and are going through rough times just like on the Island," Freedman said.

Shockers not surprising Louisville coach Pitino
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — When the NCAA tournament field was announced a couple weeks ago, Louisville coach Rick Pitino wasn't a whole lot different from millions of other college basketball fans.
He started poring over the bracket for potential upsets.
His eyes quickly settled on Wichita State.
"I was talking with my son," Pitino said Monday, "and I said I thought Wichita State had a great chance of being a surprise team to the Final Four. He asked me, 'Which teams would you think?' I said VCU and Wichita State. ... I was very impressed with them."
Now, Pitino will have to figure out a way to beat them.
His top-seeded Cardinals (33-5) ran roughshod through the Midwest Region, and now roll into Atlanta as the heavy favorite to win their first national championship since 1986.
But first, Russ Smith and the rest of the Cardinals will have to get by a gutsy, gritty and grossly underestimated Wichita State team Saturday night that blitzed through Pittsburgh, knocked off another No. 1 seed in Gonzaga, and ousted second-seeded Ohio State to reach the Final Four.
"Each game," Pitino said, "they looked better and better."
Pitino said there are some similarities between the Shockers (30-8) and the Providence team that he led to the Final Four in 1987, long before he won national titles at Kentucky, forayed into the NBA and landed back on the college basketball map at Louisville.
The Friars were the No. 6 seed that year, and beat second-seeded Alabama and top-seeded Georgetown on their way to the Final Four, where they lost to Syracuse — which just so happens to be playing Michigan in the other match-up on Saturday night at the Georgia Dome.
"I guess you would consider both Cinderella teams, but Wichita State has much more talent than we had at Providence," Pitino said of a Friars team that featured a young Billy Donovan.
"He was sort of carrying us on his back, amazing young player," Pitino said. "I think Wichita State is a much better defensive team. He was a better guy making everybody better. But like some teams, we just caught offensive fire at the right time."
In much the same way, everything has come together at the right time for Wichita State.
The Shockers opened the season 19-2, climbed to No. 15 in the AP poll and ran their home-court winning streak to 19 games, beating eventual Missouri Valley Conference champion Creighton in a high-profile meeting at Koch Arena, the Shockers' venerable on-campus home.
Then came a disastrous loss to Indiana State, and the start of a three-game skid that included a vexing road loss to Southern Illinois, which finished 6-12 in the Valley this season.
It was similar to a three-game losing streak that Louisville had in January.
"It's interesting. I pointed to Louisville, I pointed to Kansas, great teams with great coaches that also suffered that type of blip, if you will, in their run to a marvelous season," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said on a conference call with reporters.
Marshall admitted thinking that the season was lost after losing to the Salukis.
The Final Four couldn't have been further from his mind.
"I'm thinking, 'Oh boy, we may have just shot our chances to get in the NCAA tournament right in the foot, we might just have blown it.' I'm thinking that to myself, obviously, not relaying that to the team," he said. "Thank goodness our non-conference run where we only lost one game and beat some very good teams helped us, enabled us, to get into the tournament."
The signs were there, though, even before the start of the madness, that Wichita State was a dangerous team. Their only losses the rest of the way came against Evansville, which has won 21 games this season, and Creighton, which ousted them in the Valley tournament title game.
"We're better all year long when we're the underdog, when nothing is expected," Marshall said. "We got to 9-0 and lost. We got to 15-1, and then we lose. This team has done better when nothing is expected, when they're the underdogs, which we'll clearly be on Saturday."
That doesn't mean that Wichita State doesn't like its chances.
The Shockers, who will travel to Atlanta on Wednesday, are the toast of the town this week, but keep insisting to anybody who will listen that merely making the Final Four isn't enough.
They went want to win the school's first national championship.
"Cinderella found one glass slipper. We won four games. I don't think she found four glass slippers," Marshall said. "Cinderella usually wins a game or two, but much like Butler a couple seasons ago, when you get to this point, you're good enough to win it all."

DVD Set: Canada's Juniors,The Gold Standard - VSC 2009
Item #: DVD078
1982 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. USSR - December 26, 1981, Winnipeg Arena - Canada's first attempt at putting together a true national All-Star team for the fledgling tournament proved wildly successful, as the team roared through the round-robin-only tournament with a 6-0-1 record and a gold medal. This amazing performance saw Canada throttle the Russians 7-0, as Mike Moffat earned the shutout, and future NHLers like Marc Habscheid, Scott Arniel, Paul Cyr, Troy Murray, Paul Boutilier, Garth Butcher, Randy Moller, and James Patrick dominated from start to finish. As a bonus, a highlight package from the final game of the tournament, the tense 3-3 tie with Czechoslovakia on January 2, 1982 that earned Canada the championship, is included.
1985 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. Czechoslovakia - January 1, 1985, Helsinki, Finland - Thanks to goal differential, Canada needed only a tie with Czechoslovakia in the final game to take home the gold. With brilliant goaltending from Craig Billington, offensive explosions from Brian Bradley, Adam Creighton and Stephane Richer, and glimpses of future greatness from Wendel Clark, Claude Lemieux, and Shayne Corson, this Canadian team was one of the best. Watch this broadcast for the final appearance of the revolutionary (not) Cooperall uniforms, and for the earliest-available action from a scronny little Czech goalie named Dominik Hasek.
1988 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. USSR - January 1, 1988, Moscow, Russia - A year after the infamous "Piestany Punch-Up", Canada faced off against Russia in the championship game, looking for revenge against the squad that sucked them into disqualification in 1987. The Russians featured two very young superstars, Alexander Mogilny and Sergei Fedorov, but Canada's depth eventually won the day. With a roster that included future NHL stars Rob Brown, Theoren Fleury, Adam Graves, Mark Recchi, Joe Sakic, Eric Desjardins, and Trevor Linden, this may have been the most star-studded roster ever assembled in tournament history.
1991 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. USSR - January 4, 1991, Saskatoon, Canada - In front of a raucous home-ice crowd, Canada needed an outright win to supplant the Russians in first place for the gold. Deadlocked into the dying seconds, Canada's goal was slipping away to the Pavel Bure-led Soviets, when one of the most famous goals in the country's hockey history was blasted into the twine from the point by unlikely hero John Slaney, and the rest was history! With amazing performances from future NHL stars Eric Lindros, Patrice Brisebois, Pat Falloon, Kris Draper, Mike Sillinger, Brad May, Scott Niedermayer, and Trevor Kidd, this was another star-studded team with talent, chemistry, and pure guts.
1993 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. Sweden - December 26, 1992, Gavle, Sweden - With one of the most talented collection of rosters ever assembled in World Junior Hockey history, Canada's challenge was vast entering the tournament in December 1992. In one of the grittiest underdog efforts ever, Canada took on the mighty home-ice Peter Forsberg-led Swedes, and gutted out a tight 3-2 victory in a game that ultimately meant the difference between eventual gold and possible elimination. Manny Legace was unstoppable in goal, while future NHLers Martin Lapointe, Paul Kariya, Alexandre Daigle, Chris Gratton, Chris Pronger, Jason Smith, Rob Niedermayer, and Adrian Aucoin led the way to victory.
2005 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. Russia - January 4, 2005, Grand Forks, ND, USA - Thanks to the NHL lockout, more top-flight juniors were available than ever before, making this the most talented Canadian squad in memory. The boys in red did not disappoint, as Canada rolled to a 6-0 record, and a 6-1 victory over Russia in this final game. Alexander Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin were pounded into submission by Canada's giant defense, while Patrice Bergeron, Ryan Getzlaf, Jeff Carter, Sidney Crosby, Corey Perry, Nigel Dawes, two-way threat Dion Phaneuf, and Mike Richards powered the offense.
2007 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. USA - January 3, 2007, Leksand, Sweden - Before dominating the Russians in the final game for the gold, Canada faced its toughest opponent, the USA, in the semi-finals. With Steve Downie, Kris Letang, Kris Russell, Tommy Pyatt, Brad Marchand, Sam Gagner, and Marc Staal keeping Canada alive in a 1-1 match through overtime, Carey Price saved the day with brilliant shootout saves, and Jonathan Toews scored the winner past American goaltender Jonathan Frazee, in one of the most intense games in tournament history.
2008 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. Sweden - January 5, 2008, Pardubice, Czech Republic - After losing a 4-3 heartbreaker to the Swedes in the preliminary round to snap a 20-game Team Canada winning streak, Canada headed into the gold medal game with no guarantee of victory. And in a thrilling final that could have gone either way, Matt Halischuk scored in overtime to kick off yet another celebration for the boys in red. With the heroics of Steve Mason in net, and the amazing performances of superstars Kyle Turris, Brad Marchand, Steven Stamkos, John Tavares, Claude Giroux, and the rest, this is hockey history and drama at its finest!
2009 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. USA - December 31, 2008, Ottawa, ON, Canada - Thrill to the dominance of another championship squad, making mincemeat out of the up-and-coming Americans. Amazing performances from Jordan Eberle, Cody Hodgson, P.K. Subban, Tyler Myers, Zach Boychuk, Dustin Tokarski, Tyler Ennis, and a hat trick from John Tavares, help put Canada into the semi-finals.
2009 World Junior Championships - Canada vs. Sweden - January 5, 2009, Ottawa, ON, Canada - Enjoy the capper to Canada's five-year run of dominance! With a Subban first-period goal giving Canada a lead they would not relinquish, this game would prove to be one giant party for the home-country fans.
Bonus Footage: Highlights from the Summer 2007 "Super Series" in Russia; "Best Goals" highlight package, including Wayne Gretzky's spectacular individual effort in 1977.
Whether you're a proud Canuck hockey nut, a lover of International hockey, or simply a fan of the NHL game and the stars who appear in these games, this is a rare, thrilling collection that you'll treasure forever. An absolute must-have addition to your sports DVD library!

Used 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty SuperCab Review
Edmunds expert review
Serious work capacity, a comfortable cabin, an abundance of useful features and refined road manners make the 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty a serious contender for the top heavy-duty pickup title.
What's new for 2009
Vehicle overview
A 1500-series pickup truck is usually more than adequate for the average person's needs. These trucks (traditionally known as the "half-ton") will easily handle hauling goods from the home improvement store, moving a kid to college and hitching up recreational stuff like motorcycles. For these folks' purposes, employing a heavy-duty pickup would be akin to using a hammer to set thumbtacks into the kitchen's corkboard.
But equestrians, owners of big boats and those who pull trailers larger than their time-share condos do need a hammer -- a big one. And for them, the 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty makes perfect sense. The available PowerStroke turbodiesel engine makes serious pulling power -- we're talking 650 pound-feet of torque -- which allows the F-250 Super Duty to tow up to 12,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Although it was just redesigned last year, the Ford F-250 Super Duty gets a handful of notable new features for 2009. Ford's Sync system allows voice command of your cell phone, the audio system and the navigation system. It can also provide weather, gas prices, sports scores and movie times via Sirius Travel Link. Ford's Work Solutions is essentially an optional onboard system geared toward folks (such as contractors) who work out of their trucks. It includes an in-dash computer with Internet access, a "mid-box" storage system (a lockable compartment located between the cab and bed) and the Tool Link system. The latter allows one to keep tabs on tools stored in the truck's box via radio-frequency tracking. Also available is a factory-applied, heavy-duty spray-in bedliner.
With its impressive work capacity, well-rounded ride and handling qualities and large array of convenience and luxury features, the 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty is bound to offer big-truck consumers the right tool for the most demanding jobs.
Trim levels & features
The 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup comes in regular cab, SuperCab (extended cab) and crew cab body styles. The SuperCab has a pair of small rear-opening rear doors, while the crew cab has four conventional full-size doors. SuperCabs and crew cabs are available with a short (6.75-foot) or long (8-foot) bed; regular cabs are long bed only.
Four trim levels are offered: base XL, midlevel XLT, off-road-oriented FX4 (4WD only) and luxurious Lariat. Regular cabs are available only in XL and XLT forms.
The XL is meant for those who just need a basic work truck. It comes standard with air-conditioning, plain vinyl upholstery, an AM/FM radio, 17-inch wheels and manual trailer-tow mirrors. The XLT adds chrome wheels, keyless entry, power and heated trailer tow mirrors, an integrated trailer brake controller, privacy glass, cloth upholstery, an auxiliary audio jack, a 40/20/40 front bench, a CD player, cruise control and full power accessories.
The FX4 provides upgraded off-road hardware including skid plates, heavy-duty shock absorbers, a limited-slip rear axle and a manual-shift transfer case. It also adds front bucket seats, a power driver seat, power telescoping and folding mirrors and satellite radio. High-line Lariats come with luxuries like 18-inch alloy wheels, running boards, a power-sliding rear window, leather upholstery, dual power and heated front seats (power driver seat only on regular cab), the Sync multimedia voice-control system and dual-zone automatic climate control. Much of the Lariat's extra equipment can be added to the FX4 via optional packages.
Option highlights (depending on trim level) include reverse park assist, a rearview-mirror-mounted back-up camera display, a sunroof, a navigation system and a rear-seat entertainment system. In addition, there are several packages to further fine-tune the F-250 Super Duty to one's needs. The XLT sport package includes color-matched bumpers and grille, foglamps, chrome step bars and privacy glass. The new Cabela's package is inspired by the largest outfitter for outdoor enthusiasts and features unique two-tone color and interior trim schemes. The King Ranch package similarly provides two-tone paint but goes further uptown with 20-inch alloy wheels, fancy leather seating and trim inspired by a western saddle, and a premium audio system. There's also the Harley-Davidson package with a similar level of interior and exterior upgrades.
Highly recommended for those who tow is the TowCommand option, which seamlessly integrates the control of the trailer brakes with those on the truck. Optional on all F-250 Super Duty trims is a clever flip-down tailgate step that hides within the tailgate when stowed.
Performance & mpg
There are three engine choices for the 2009 Ford F-250 Super Duty: the standard 5.4-liter gasoline V8 (300 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque); an optional 6.8-liter V10 (362 hp and 457 lb-ft); and the most popular choice (and the one recommended for those who do serious hauling and towing), the available 6.4-liter PowerStroke turbodiesel V8, which makes 350 hp and 650 lb-ft. Regardless of engine choice, buyers have a choice of transmission: a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic and either two- or four-wheel drive.
Properly equipped, an F-250 Super Duty can tow up to 12,500 pounds and handle a 3,200-pound payload.
Antilock disc brakes are standard, but neither side- nor side curtain airbags are available. Power-adjustable pedals are optional on XLT and Lariat models (equipped with the automatic transmission), as are rear parking sensors.
Though we've driven the Ford F-450 and come away impressed with its easy driving and riding demeanor, we've yet to sample the 2009 Ford F-250. Check back later for specific F-250 commentary.
A rugged, industrial theme marks the cabin, and materials quality is good. Chrome accents surround the gauges and air vents, while the center stack puts controls within easy reach. Dual door pockets and a massive center console/armrest provide generous in-cabin storage -- in fact, the center console box is big enough to accommodate a laptop and/or hanging files. In crew cabs, folding the rear seats up reveals a flip-out utility tray that keeps the load floor flat.

Report Documents Americans' Outdoor Activities
October 1, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Report Documents Americans' Outdoor Activities
For the seventh year in a row, The Outdoor Foundation has produced the Outdoor Recreation Participation Report to provide a deeper understanding of American participation in outdoor activities with a focus on youth and diversity. This annual report helps explain the state of outdoor participation for the outdoor industry, federal officials and state and local organizations.
In 2012, Americans took advantage of the diversity and accessibility of the nation's outdoor opportunities. Nearly half — 49.4% — of all Americans participated in some form of outdoor recreation last year. Although the overall participation rate remained the same as it was in 2011, the number of participants is the highest recorded in this report, thanks to population growth. Nearly 142 million people enjoyed outdoor recreation, up about 800,000 since 2011.
Other key findings of the report:
• Although the percentage of outdoor participants is the same as it was in 2011, the number of participants grew by about 800,000, thanks to population growth.
• While 13 million Americans started participating in outdoor activities in 2012, 12 million stopped. This is a net gain of one million total outdoor participants.
• The number of total outdoor outings increased, reaching an all-time high. Americans took 12.4 billion outdoor excursions in 2012, up from 11.5 billion excursions in 2011.
• Adventure racing grew the most over the past five years. The sport increased participation by 211%.
• Stand-up paddling had the highest number of new participants in the past year. More than half of stand-up paddling participants tried the sport for the first time in 2012.
• Almost one-quarter of all outdoor enthusiasts participate in outdoor activities at least twice per week.
• Running, including jogging and trail running, is the most popular activities among Americans when measured by number of participants and by number of total annual outings.
• The outdoor participation rate among adolescent boys ages 13 to 17 continued to rise in 2012, adding three-percentage points in the past two years.
• Outdoor participation rates declined among adolescent girls. With just over half of adolescent girls participating in outdoor recreation, the participation rate is the lowest recorded since this report began in 2006.
• Youth who do not participate in outdoor activities say they are not interested in the outdoors. For young adults, lack of time is a bigger barrier than lack of interest.
• Introducing outdoor recreation and physical activities early in life has a lasting effect. Among adults who are current outdoor participants, 75% had physical education and 42% enjoyed outdoor activities in elementary school.
• As seen in previous reports, outdoor participation is highest among Caucasians and lowest among African Americans.
• Although Hispanic Americans have one of the lowest outdoor participation rates, those who do participate go outside as often as Caucasians, who have the highest participation rate.

The University of Colorado in Boulder pulled a sauna, simulated golfing area and exterior renovations from its $63.5 million remodel of the recreation center after the project's estimates came back 18 percent over budget.
Expected to be finished by August 2013, the remodel is being funded entirely through student fees totaling $125 per semester beginning fall 2013. CU officials say that because students are funding the project through fees, they are paying close attention to what students listed as priorities in a survey they completed.
Steve Najera, associate director of facilities at the rec center, told the Daily Camera that students who responded to the survey placed priority on more space in the weight room, extra basketball courts, the outdoor leisure pool, an additional group exercise room and a climbing wall.
"This whole renovation is being paid for 100 percent by students, so obviously they have the loudest voice," Najera told the newspaper. "We looked at the priorities of the students and what they had deemed top priorities, and focused the money in those areas. We had to make some tough choices."
Few students listed the sauna as a priority though others argue saunas are standard amenities in most workout facilities. The sauna would have been open year-round compared to the planned outdoor pool that will only be open April through October.

The reparative qualities of hair oil have never been in doubt (and there are a vast array of civilizations across the centuries that would back us up on this—Cleopatra, anyone?). But Bare Love Beauty's formula takes it one step (and several eras) further by infusing its oil with time-release OlioLove Technology. The resulting "firm oil" delivers strand-strengthening moisture and heals scalp issues throughout the day and night—without any heaviness.
I was really excited to receive this product after reading about it. I have tried using it on my hair several times. My hair is dry from color treating it. The Bare Love left my hair feeling and looking oily. I would agree my hair did not feel heavy but it did look as if I had not washed it in days. Disappointed and would not recommend!!!1
I was super excited to try this hair and scalp treatment. I have been having dry scalp issues since winter and I really thought this would be my solution. Unfortunately, even if you use a pin-sized portion of this product, it leaves your entire head of hair really greasy. No joke, I had to wash my hair three times after using this before it even looked normal again, and surprisingly, it left me with EVEN MORE flakes! I just don't get it. I'm not sure who this product would be effective on, I was disappointed.1
I used this product at a time I was very stressed and my scalp itched a lot. I used it the night before washing my hair, massaging a little bit into my roots and scalp.
My scalp woke up feeling much better, and within a week the itch was gone. I totally recommend it.
My hairwasreally frizzy from over processing etc, so the first time I used this I washed my hair as directed, then towel dried. Then I rubbed it informally working down to ends and combed thoroughbred, left it on overnight and washed and co auditioned rinsed well Turnbull dried. About four hours later I looked in the mirror and was wowed. My hair was so whiney I thought it was wet, wow definitely will reorder.5
This is not one of my favorite products by any means, but I still do use it on occasion for its intended purpose. Every so often, especially during winter I get an exceptional dry scalp. This product helps with the issue, but leaves my hair SUPER oily for literally days. I have learned to only use it when I know I can wear my hair up for several days without needing to style it. Ultimately, it helps so I continue use it!3
I used this on my hair and I didn't see a difference. However, I'd have to buy three or four of these full-size containers to be able to use on my hair for two weeks. I have very thick hair and my scalp is always dry (but with no flakes). The product felt like it left my hair oily and gross. The packaging also broke. I took out the sprig and the pump and just scooped the product out into my hands to use it. Too oily, not enough product, poor packaging. I won't be buying this again. I'd much rather have a dry, itchy scalp than deal wight he hassle of this product.2
I had received a Shampoo/Conditioner duo in last months box that completely threw off my scalp! I had huge flakes lifting, my scalp was red, incredibly itchy... I must be allergic to SOMETHING in that shampoo or conditioner (this has never happened before.)
I tried this Bare Love Hair as a scalp treatment, unfortunately I couldn't wash it out! I've now washed my hair twice and its still greasy...I guess my scalp doesn't itch and there are noticeably less flakes. Hopefully due to the treatment and not just the passing of time.
Left me unimpressed.

My colleagues were having great time constructing a air/water scooter, which is the scooter that can fly on air and run on the surface of water. Currently, they are able to make it fly (without passenger on it), but the instability of the flight is still very obvious. However, running on the surface of the water is something to be worked on. As of now, their model looks more or less like a helicopter but w/ 4 sets of motors and blades.
May be using servo to control the orientation of the motors should help, but we still can't get rid of the blades since they are pretty long... i will come up w/ their pictures of prototype soon

5 Awesome Dining Tables by Structured Green
Last year we profiled the amazing, southern-based furniture company, Structured Green. At the time we missed it, but the company has designed an amazing series of unique dining tables — our favorite is the Spider Table, which can be customized to have your train line of choice inlaid into the table top. There's another table that reflects the geography and light pollution of major american cities! Check them all out after the jump.
All of Structured Green's furniture is built locally from rapidly renewable, certified or reclaimed materials, and finished with non-toxic, low-VOC finishes.
Images as shown above, from left to right:
1 Spider Table, $3,195: As currently shown, the Spider Table illustrates Boston's MBTA subway lines. However, the table can be custom built with any metro or mass transit design. The table comes standard made of bamboo, but can be built in any combination of wood such as walnut or oak, and is finished in water based clear coat, or raw food-grade tung oil and beeswax.
2 Night Light Table, $3,195: This gorgeous table was designed using a pixilated photograph taken from the space station, America's major cities sparkle via aluminum inlays through the FSC wood table top. "Designed with concerns for mankind's disruption of bird migration patterns and light pollution, Structured Green's 'Night Light Table' illustrates the impact of light pollution through the location of the US's major cities." The table is available in FSC Black Walnut or FSC White Oak, and is finished in Low VOC water based Clear Coat.
3 Scatter Table, $3,195: Inspired by Pick Up Stix, this fun table is made from a solid slab of FSC Certified walnut inlaid with random strips of contrasting FSC maple.
4 Fragment Table, $3,195: The Fragment table is gorgeously geometric — designed utilizing FSC Certified walnut or white oak with a reclaimed heart pine inlay.
5 Finn Table, $3,195: A minimal version of the tables above, the Finn Table is a simple slab of FSC black walnut or FSC white oak, fitted with either metal or wooden legs.
In addition to using eco-friendly materials, Structured Green also strives to run a sustainable business: the Savannah-based company doesn't use air conditioning, is aiming to be 100% Carbon Neutral, uses dual flush toilets, implements a full recycling program and is running an almost paperless office.

I meant to write a post about interviews – about how I was recently the subject of two interviews. I was going to touch on how I typically do interviews (over at Food Interviews) and how fun and exciting it was to be the subject, for a change. I was going to thank the sites that interviewed me and link to them (as I like those I interview to do). I probably was even going to come up with something funny to say about interviews in general.
But then, I had a HUGE surprise in my Inbox this morning.
My cupcakes were in the newspaper in Italy!
Reporter Chiara Lalli of DNews chose my All American BBQ Cupcakes for a story on Food Porn. I was so excited! I used Google Translate to read the section about me. The results were not the best, but I got the idea:
Sweet and homeland from the site Slashfood "All American Bbq Cupcakes," coloured and patriotic cakes prepared by Stefani Pollack suitable for each type of recurrence by birthdays to weddings. And always much fashion to consume with the in cold evenings or a drink iced under the sun in August.
To get a better idea of what that and the rest of the article said, and to see if I knew anyone who might read this paper, I reached out to my Twitter friends. Within minutes of my asking if anyone was in Rome, I got a response.
Rossella76 of Ma che ti sei mangiato was kind enough to offer to translate the article for me when she gets her hands on it. Thanks so much!!
Back to Those Interviews
Of course, I do still want to talk about the interviews and the awesome sites that did them!
The Food Channel
The first interview was on The Food Channel. OK – it wasn't really an interview. Bill from The Food Channel asked me to talk a little bit about myself, and then he wrote a great write-up about Cupcake Project that also featured three of my recipes: Better Than Sex Chocolate Cupcakes, Pumpkin Cup-pies, and Mimosa Cupcakes.
Before you think that people are just chasing me down to write about me and my cupcakes, I should also mention one more thing: I got the write-up because I was following Food Channel on Twitter and they asked who wanted to be written up. I happily volunteered.
Some might say this is like telling someone what you want for your birthday and then getting it and being excited about it. I am not above that! Thanks, The Food Channel!!
Cupcakes Take The Cake
Rachel from Cupcakes Take The Cake (a blog that no cupcake lover couldn't love) sent me an interview to do over e-mail. She then jazzed it up with a slew of Jonathan's photos. I was visiting my mom in New York when the interview first went live and she couldn't have been more proud- well, until she got wind of the newspaper in Italy thing. If you want to know more about me, my cupcakes, or this blog, check the interview out – it really is quite an extensive interview.
I was excited to be featured on Cupcakes Take The Cake and even more excited to meet all three Cupcakes Take The Cake bloggers at a cupcake shop while I was in New York. That interview is coming soon over on Food Interviews.
If you made it to the end of this self indulgent post, thanks! My next cupcake, featuring several key breakfast ingredients, is coming up soon.


text: The Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights released these remarks by Dr. King marking the end of the Birmingham Nonviolent Direct Action Campaign. King describes the day as a climax in the long struggle for justice and freedom in Birmingham and gives credit to Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth, to the thousands who went to jail, to the whites who worked for just solutions and to God. He speaks of the need for continued progress toward equal job opportunities, equal access to public facilities, and equal rights and responsibilities. King cautions that it is a victory for all of Birmingham and that the Negro community must accept the victory in the right spirit.

|The Spook holding a pumpkin, appropriately enough.
Sarah Jane Conley was born in November 1857, in Richland County, Illinois, sixth child (of seven) of David Conley (abt 1822 -aft 1880) and Rebecca Tolliver (abt 1823 - 1869). It is through Sarah Jane that I am a Double Tolliver, as her parents were second cousins. Sarah Jane's great-grandparents on her father's side were William Maxwell and Lucy Tolliver, while her great-grandparents on her mother's side were Jesse Tolliver and Martha Stamper, Lucy and Jesse being brother and sister.
The Conleys were farmers, and moved to the recently formed Redwood County, Minnesota, sometime in the early 1870s. In 1875, on 13 Nov 1875, the just-of-age Sarah Jane married William Edwin Kinman. The Kinmans, like the Conleys, had been living in Illinois in 1870, and moved to Minnesota about the same time as the Conleys. I do not know if they families knew each other in Illinois; the Conleys and Tollivers (and associated families) tended to be clannish, and I can find no records of other Kinmans in their milieu.
At any rate, the newlyweds seem to get along fine; their first child (of six), Cora Mabel Kinman was born just ten months later. Growing up with siblings named Susan, Rebecca, Catharine, George, John, and Anna (all common names of the era, and much-used in the Tolliver clan) it comes as a bit of a surprise to find Sarah Jane giving her own children such comparatively exotic names as Alta, Iza May, and Lola.
The Kinmans remained in Redwood County until just after 1900 (William Edwin Kinman is listed as the postmaster of Morgan on the 1900 U S Federal Census), although by the early 1890s William had given up farming and taken up insurance sales. In late 1904 the family moved to Minneapolis, a consequence, no doubt, of William's success; by this time he was the State Manager of the Modern Brotherhood of America, a fraternal organization founded in 1897.
By 1920, the Kinmans had moved twice more; William Edwin Kinman was now State Director for the MBA, and along with his two unmarried daughters, Iza and Lola (both teachers), had his oldest daughter, Cora, and her family (husband Clarence Edgar Brown, and sons Dana Earl Brown and Ray Edgar Brown) living with them.
|3512 Third Ave S. The house was built in 1909, and is still standing.
Apart from a paint job, it looks nearly the same.
But what, you ask, of The Spook? After her husband's death in 1925, Sarah Jane again lived with her oldest daughter and her family, this time in their home in Moorhead, Minnesota. Apparently as time went on she became more and more reclusive and odd. (She was, by this point, in her seventies, so today we might assume she was suffering from senile dementia.)
By the time my maternal grandmother, Myrna Margaret Severin married my grandfather, Dana Earl Brown, in 1933, Sarah Jane had taken to wandering the house, silently (in part because she always wore slippers). She was known to suddenly appear, staring silently, which would usually frighten whomever she encountered. Hence the sobriquet "The Spook."
|From left: The Spook, AKA Sarah Jane (Conley) Kinman, daughter Cora Mabel (Kinman) Brown,
and granddaughter-in-law Myrna Margaret (Severin) Brown. About 1933.
In true Spook fashion, she died on Friday the 13th, March 1936.
5. Sarah Jane Conley (Nov 1857 - 13 Mar 1936) married William Edwin Kinman (Mar 1858 - 13 Jun 1925), son of William Kinman and Sarah R Moore, on 13 Nov 1875, in Redwood Falls, Minnesota.
4. Cora Mabel Kinman (4 Sep 1876 - 22 Aug 1958) married Clarence Edgar Brown (1 Dec 1878 - 21 Aug 1937), son of Silas W Brown and Malinda J Carter, on 16 Sep 1903, in Morgan, Minnesota.
3. Dana Earl Brown (26 Jan 1910 - 10 Sep 1984) married Myrna Margaret Severin (6 Nov 1907 - 12 Jun 1997), daughter of John Jacob "Jack" Severin and Isabelle "Belle" Runser, on 21 Oct 1933, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2. Beverly Alane Brown (8 Aug 1934 - 7 Mar 2010) married [Living] Burnett, son of Leroy Stanley Burnett and Hazel Lucille Erickson, on 4 Mar 1961, in Long Beach, California.

At Bluffton, we believe that the best preparation for a legal career is a broad background in the liberal arts.
When law schools assess candidates for admission, they are most interested in an applicant's grades, letters of recommendation and scores on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). Most commonly, Bluffton students heading for law school have majored in communications, criminal justice, economics or history. Sometimes they have combined these majors into a double-major, or with a minor in peace and conflict resolution.
Bluffton's pre-law minor emphasizes the historical, political, social and economic foundations of society, while providing you with the skills you need in research, writing, communication, critical thinking and conflict transformation.

Add comfort, color and texture to your home with a fresh selection of throw pillows. Materials such as faux fur, felt, velvet, and microsuede are tantalizing to touch and add variety to your decor. Down filling provides lush comfort while polyester filling is easy to care for. Pillows with removable covers make it quick and easy to clean and refresh your space. Get oversize floor pillows to create a spot for your family to play or to watch television and bolster support your back Some pillows are embellished with sequins, ruffles, tassels and embroidery to add flair to your sofa or chair. With a large selection of modern and traditional patterns from makers such as Eddie Bauer, Crayola, Pillow Perfect, and Laura Ashley, Overstock.com has pillow designs to fit most decors.
The texture of a throw pillow can, of course, enhance the comfort of your sofa or bed, but it can also have a significant impact on your decor. A shaggy pillow or a pillow with chunky knitting can promote a casually resplendent atmosphere, while a smoothly embroidered pillow delivers a more subtle and elegant charm wherever it is used. Some pillows feature textures specifically designed to enhance their patterns, following the same lines and shapes to further accentuate the design.
You can use pillows with decorative patterns to effectively accentuate or contrast patterns already in your furniture. Floral, plaid, animal print, checkers, paisley, stripes, polka-dots, and houndstooth are just some of the more popular options available to you. Pillows can also be found with handsome and colorful words embroidered onto their covers. Pillows with the same pattern as your furniture can help your decor feel calm and uniform, but a little bit of mixing and matching can create a more lively and energetic appeal. However, when mixing pillow patterns, it is a good idea to also mix sizes to avoid clashing.
When decorating your home, it is essential to pick a color scheme and stick to it as closely as possible, only deviating from it rarely for contrast. However, that does not mean that your decor should be monotone. Color schemes are built around complementary colors, and complementary colors can be very diverse. Usually, two colors that are opposite each other on a color wheel, like red and green, are complementary. The contrast between the two colors can make your decor feel vibrant, but sticking too rigidly to two complementary colors can be jarring. Colors that are similar to each other, like red and maroon, usually belong in the same color scheme and can be used together for some diversity. Pillows are the perfect way to fill out a color scheme because they are small and come in a huge assortment of colors, making them subtle accents that are available in exactly whatever shades you need.

RESIDENTS say businesses will be put at risk if a main road into Steventon is shut for 10 months.
Steventon Parish Council says Network Rail has told it will have to close the bridge on high street for either five or 10 months to rebuild it.
But either way, councillors say it will cause "huge disruption" to the village and trade will suffer.
Councillor Robert Green said: "There will be a huge amount of disruption to Steventon.
"Five months at the shortest could put a lot of businesses at risk."
Network Rail needs to rebuild the bridge as part of its £1bn electrification of the Great Western Mainline - installing overhead wires between London and Cardiff that it says will allow faster, quieter and more reliable trains.
Steventon is one of many areas that will face disruption while the work goes ahead. But traders are worried about what the road closure will mean for business – even if there are other routes into the village.
Steve Reeve, manager of The Fox in Steventon High Street, said: "It is obviously going to affect our trade, especially at lunchtime.
"About 90 per cent of people come in from Milton Park on that road and lunchtime is one of the biggest parts of trade. It is quite worrying in that respect.'' To fit wires in, the company either needs to rebuild the Steventon road bridge or partially rebuild it and partially lower the track beneath.
Village resident Nick Thompson, 76, said: "The parish council has got to start demanding a temporary bridge from Network Rail."
The parish council has said it will demand that Network Rail present it with detail of the plans by the end of March.
Network Rail spokesman Anne-Marie Batson said: "Steventon High Street bridge is a complex problem, as it is a listed structure and close to Stocks Lane level crossing.'' She refused to say whether the firm was actually considering closing the road for 10 months, but said: "All options are still under discussion."

It's pretty awesome and inspiring when we get sent reviews for a release we didn't even mail out promos for. BIG ups to Ian Wise and Demian Johnston for taking the time to review the THOU, Baton Rouge, You Have Much To Answer For EP all on their own volition. Seriously, much appreciated!
Thou somehow manage to consistently put out fully realized records with obviously thoughtful artwork and meticulous packaging. And they do so at a pace that makes me embarrassed of how slowly my own musical endeavors come together. This release, their most recent 12" EP (it's four songs, but each side is about 15 minutes, so "EP" is sort of misleading) sums up most things I love about the band. Their earlier releases were heavy, but focused on slow parts with really pretty sounding guitar harmonies. I loved it, but recently they've picked up the pace a little and have gotten much, much more dissonant in their sound. This record is no less abrasive than the "Smoke Pigs" track they contributed their split with Black September, but they have some spacey, jammy parts that go well with their sludge aesthetic and help the record flow better as a long player. The tracks here also seem less disjointed than songs on Tyrant or Peasant, both of which had some awkward changes. Of course, the packaging is great as the band partnered with the always diligent Robotic Empire, the only people who may actually be nerdier than Thou about vinyl packaging. -Ian Wise / Razorcake (buy here)
holy shit. this is fantastic. super heavy, super thick and totally amazing sounding. you can really tell they gave a shit in releasing this. i have no idea if this is coming out in any other formats but this is a real ep. so often bands will release a cassette to keep some sort of "cred" going but it ends up being some throw away demos or noise from a band that has no business making noise. this feels real. two heavy and interesting originals on the a side and an instrumental laden with samples and really heavy guitars followed by a Nirvana cover with a killer guitar solo using a phase shifter in a excellent way. the way this sounds is also another reason why having James Plotkin master your releases will never make you regret the affordable price. you just have to hear it. it sounds amazing. the packaging is a double sided screenprinted three panel j card and it looks fantastic. the artwork is great, the music is great. i used to not really dig thou but after the last couple things i have heard i am completely sold. great work. - Demian Johnston / Dead Formats
This release is still available on both formats (vinyl and cassette):
* THOU - Baton Rouge, You Have Much To Answer For 12"
* THOU - Baton Rouge, You Have Much To Answer For Cassette
* THOU - Most of the rest of their (available) standalone releases, plus t-shirts/etc

Animal Species:Black Rat
This rat was probably introduced to Sydney with the First Fleet.
Standard Common Name
Black Rat
Despite its name, the Black Rat is usually brown or grey. A distinctive characteristic of rats that helps distinguish them from similarly sized carnivorous marsupials is their front teeth: a pair of chisel shaped incisors with hard yellow enamel on the front surfaces. Other characteristics that identify a Black Rat from other rats include the following:
- Long pointed head (can be more rounded in juvenile).
- Large thin ears (20mm+) which reach middle of eye when bent forward.
- Charcoal grey to black or light brown above, cream or white below; sleek smooth coat.
- Scaly tail, much longer than head and body.
Size range
Body 165-205 mm, Tail 185-255 mm, Weight 95-340 g.
Similar Species
Brown Rat; also, juveniles sometimes mistaken for marsupials or mice.
The Black Rat has now spread throughout much of coastal Australia and is most commonly seen in urban environments, but also in undisturbed areas around the coast.
The Black Rat lives in urban areas. They prefer to live in roofs, cavity walls, trees, scrapes or burrows around farms, making nests of shredded materials. Black Rats are very closely associated with humans, common in urban areas, and are very agile climbers.
Feeding and Diet
The Black Rat has successfully adapted to human urbanisation partly because it eats just about anything.
Other behaviours and adaptations
Black Rats are nocturnal, but are often seen during the day.
Mating and reproduction
The Black Rat is a prolific breeder. Females have litters of about five to ten young and may have up to six litters per year. The young are born blind but develop rapidly and are weaned after 20 days.
