text: One of the coolest things about working at Wired is we get to use and review a ton of new gear. One of the worst things about working at Wired is we have to use and review a ton of new gear. The law of averages demands that most of the stuff we get will be lame. For every Kindle Paperwhite, there's an uninspired Android smartphone, iPhone case with a bottle opener and a rushed-to-market Windows 8 tablet. Too much of the gadgets and gear that cross our desks are iterative improvements or blatant ripoffs and hardly worth our time. But they only make us appreciate the good stuff that much more. Here, then, are the products that excited us, inspired us and made us love working here. Here is Wired's Gear of the Year. Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi was conceived as a entry-level device for kids to discover the joy of development, yet it has become the computer for everyone. The ARM GNU/Linux box is smaller than a pack of playing cards (or a well-cultivated set of Magic: The Gathering cards), yet prefect for hobbyists looking for a low-power computer for projects. The $25 tiny computer runs Linux and connects to an HDTV. Would-be developers and do-it-yourselfers have embraced the computer as a fun, cheap platform that lets you experiment without destroying anything important you might have on your laptop. Check out some of the exciting Raspberry Pi projects we're uncovered. Photo: SpritesModsMaker Bot Replicator 2 Maker Bot remains the go-to company for desktop 3-D printing. At something north of $2,000, the Replicator 2 remains beyond the reach of most people, but that hasn't hampered the rise of a cottage industry in 3-D printing. Companies have started making 3-D files available so consumers can replace broken parts. Staples will offer in-store 3-D printing next year. The vanguard of this revolution is Maker Bot. The replicator can print paper-thin layers or produce a single 410-cubic-inch mass. It's just the thing for recreating your favorite hard-to-find childhood toys. Read our coverage of the Replicator 2. Photo: Joe PuglieseParrot Zik Headphones These headphones didn't wow us with audiophile reproductions of our favorite Rush songs. The noise-canceling feature was ruined by a slight hiss. And the bass was a bit too muddy for our taste. What these babies did do, however, is take a big step forward in headphone features. The Zik features an accelerometer that detects when you remove them and pauses the music. Built-in NFC makes Bluetooth pairing a snap. And adjusting the volume is as easy as swiping your finger up or down on the cans. These are the smart 'phones our smartphones deserve. Check out our full review of the Parrot Zik headphones.Tesla Model S We have driven the future, and its name is S. While other automakers produce a token "green" car to appease their greener customers or California regulators, Tesla is unabashedly about the electrons. The Roadster was little more than a tarted-up Lotus Elise, but the Model S was designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle — and it is, without question, the best yet. It offers superlative comfort, stellar range and leading-edge tech in a drop-dead gorgeous package. This is the car the Germans could and should build, but so far haven't. Check out our review of Elon Musk's personal Tesla Model S. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Retina Display MacBook Pro It was only a matter of time before Apple crammed a Retina Display into a MacBook. It's already stuffed the sweetest of displays into damn near everything short of the iPad mini, so it was only a matter of time before all those pixels were in an actual computer. The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina will make you wonder how, and more importantly, why, you ever worked on your laptop that didn't have 227 pixels per inch. Apple said the 15-incher was the future of the laptop, then came out with a 13-inch model. That sound you hear is other manufacturing scrambling to catch up. Again. Check out our full review of the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Photo: Peter McCollough/Wired Microsoft Surface Microsoft has finally gotten the tablet right. Redmond tried, and failed, to create a tablet before. But a laptop that folds over on itself to approximate a tablet felt more like a gimmick than anything useful, and sold accordingly. But with the iPad selling like mad, Microsoft had to respond. It not only jumped into the fray, but differentiated itself from the rectangular slabs that have saturated the market. Surface Pro (and to a less extent, Surface RT) are computers with the interface and case of a tablet. They're fantastic. They're also pricey ($900 for Surface Pro without a Touch Cover keyboard) but it's clear that Microsoft is innovating again and that it's ready to lead instead of follow. Check out our GIF-tacular review of the Microsoft Surface RT. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Sony Alpha NEX 5R Sony has long been at the forefront of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, which are finally coming into their own. There's a lot to like about them, as they give users the option of interchangeable lens without the bulk and technical know-how needed for a full DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex). The Alpha Alpha NEX 5R is the latest addition to Sony's lineup. It uses the same 16.1MP APS-C size HD image sensor found in the Alpha line of DSLRs, shoots 1080p video and features Wi-Fi so you can share photos directly to your smartphone. You'll be able to add Instagram's filters to high-quality photos without transferring from a computer. And of course, the ability to attach a plethora of E-mount lens to the tiny camera. See it for yourself at the Sony store. Photo: SonyNexus 7 While everyone is going gaga over the iPad mini, the Nexus 7 remains the gadget that blew open the small-tablet field. Yes, the Kindle Fire was the first 7-inch tablet to make waves. But the Nexus 7 was the first full-featured Android tablet that excited everyone looking for a tablet that weighs less than a Harry Potter novel. Launched in June at Google I/O, the Asus-built Nexus 7 was the first Android tablet to use Jelly Bean (Android 4.1). It was, and remains, everything a tablet should be: powerful, smartly styled and easy on the pocketbook. At only $200, it's still a go-to Android tablet. Check out our review of the Asus Nexus 7. Photo: Ariel Zambelich/Wired Big Jam Box It seems there are a zillion Bluetooth-connected speakers out there. It's easy to forget the trend started with the Jawbone Jam Box. It's nice to know that the company that used Bluetooth to create the dorkiest accessory ever also used it to create one of the coolest accessories ever, then made it bigger, louder and bassier. The Big Jam Box, while admittedly just a Jam Box on steroids, larger, is still the best of the big Bluetooth-enabled speakers. With 12 hours of crisp music pumping magic on a single charge the only downside to the Big Jam Box is the price and deciding who's going to carry it to the BBQ in the park on Saturday. We drop the bass during our Big Jam Box review. Photo: Jon Snyder/Wired Brammo Empulse R Electric cars get all the love, but there's just as much innovation in the electric motorcycle space. Sure, a bike like the Brammo Empulse doesn't have the roar of a gasoline-burning, CO2-emitting machine, but what it lacks in aural excitement it makes up for in maneuverability and torque. The Brammo Empulse R doesn't have to deal with the rotational mass of an internal-combustion drivetrain or the moving weight of sloshing fuel. That makes it one of the sharpest-handling motorcycles we've ever ridden. It's got a real-world range approaching 100 miles and a top speed north of three figures. The only problem with all this awesome is the the $19,000 price tag. But then, new technology is never cheap. Watch us drag our knees while reviewing the Brammo Empulse R. Photo: Tyler Maddox/Wired

The End of the World Half Marathon was advertised as a race for everyone including walkers. There was a cut off time of 9 hours because "why rush to the end"? This was not a Boston Qualifier because "there will be no Boston Marathon in 2013 because it's the end of the world." Yes, the race organizers had a sense of humor.
The race was on the other side of Houston so we left around 5:20 to make sure we got there in time to get parking and our packets. I've never been to a race in temps this low! Ever. I do not like cold. Brrrr!
|Notice that Armageddon It by Def Leppard is playing. Appropriate for end of world.
Grabbing our packets, we shuffled back to the car as quickly as possible and got the chips put on our shoes and bibs pinned on our shirts and shivered. The heat was running in the car at this point and in the dark you could lots of runners all huddled in their cars doing the same.
We had almost two hours before our race started so Chuck, Rachel and I all took a little nap. Rachel was nervous since this was her first half marathon but sleep overcame us all as we snuggled down into the heated seats of Dash.
Finally it was time to make our way to the starting line at 7:45. The Grim Reaper on the banner can't be a good sign.
Everyone waiting anxiously. The full marathon would start at 8 while our half marathon woulds tart at 8:15/
Poor Rachel is nervous while Chuck is tired and keeps trying to talk me out of this. "We can just watch Rachel. We don't have to do this."
I like to get a picture of the starting line so I'm walking around trying to find it. Ummm, a bit anticlimactic. It's a blue mat. Oh well.
Now that it's daylight I can see we're starting at some unfinished condos that look like something out of a zombie movie. How appropriate!
There is no starting gun, only a countdown and we're off. I was expecting something a little different than a mowed field as the running surface. You really had to be careful or you'd end up with a twisted ankle. There were tiny stumps and potholes. We were jogging at first but it didn't take long for the uneven trail to take its toll on Chuck's knee. So we walked and so did many other people.
There were cute signs for some of the odd things we encountered along the trail.
There were pretty lakes (ponds) along the way. These two aren't wearing smiles. Am I in trouble? Look, I swear I didn't force them to do this.
You really had to watch where you were going. The unevenness of the trail was pretty tiring. Then you'd come to puddles that almost covered the entire trail. Is this an obstacle course race?
It was so cold!! The temperature was 34* when we got there and it was 34* when the race started. There's still frost on the plants.
The deep sand would suck the life out of you pretty fast. This was one of the tougher races I've done.
You can see that Rachel is coming up to a mud pit we have to navigate around.
And a huge truck on the course? The driver was moving branches out of the way. You can see all of the pine cones on the ground.
One part of the course had us running in front of the unfinished condos right beside the lake. The trail was very narrow so you had to be careful.
The course had several loops that caused people to be running head on at you so everyone had to be careful to navigate carefully and stay out of the way.
There were plenty of water stations along the way. At one point, Rachel decided to take off and go on her own. Guess Chuck and I were too slow but his knee was hurting and I was in no rush. Plus my feet are just not happy. I wore my Newtons and it helped somewhat. Maybe it's time for a new pair of Asics?
Right near mile 7 I started hallucinating and thought these women were wearing chefs hats. Nope!
We finally get to the turnaround point where we run over the mat as our checkpoint and head back on to the
Really? Just mile 7? Where are the double digits?
There were hills that went up and down (as hills tend to do) that had the runners really moaning by this point.
Superman even showed up to save the day!
Runners helped decorate the trail after the water stations.
Hey! It's Superman again! The course route made several loops upon itself so you'd see people over and over again.
Time for upchuck, Chuck? Come on! Mile 11! So close to being finished. By the way, mile 11 was the longest mile EVER. I didn't think we'd ever see mile 12. This is usually about the point where I have my little mental breakdown and want to cry because I don't want to do this anymore. But it's so close to the finish that we can't stop now.
We finally cross that finish line and Rachel is there to give us a high five. She finished 15 minutes ahead of us. We got pizza and a HUGE medal. Seriously, this is the biggest medal I've seen so far.
We all enjoy our pizza but don't dare sit down because we all know that as soon as we sit down it's going to hurt to get up and move again.
Rachel said she felt like crying at mile 8. A runner stopped to help her stretch. Nice guy. Another runner cheered her on later on the trail. She did really good for being her first one.
I asked her if she would consider doing another in the future. The answer was maybe. :)
This is Rachel's take on the race:
Miles 1-5: okay, I got this.
Mile 6: okay....getting a bit more difficult
Mile 7: I'm only halfway done?
Mile 8: WHERE THE HELL IS MILE 9?!
Miles 10-13: Keep walking. Try not to cry.
We had a good laugh and talked about the people we encountered and the trails and how we felt and the hallucinations (you were right, Chuck, they were pelicans and not bald eagles stalking us). It was a good race but a tough one. Though the temperature did warm up enough to make it pleasant, the terrain was pretty rough at spots. We still all had a good time but were happy when it was over.
After the race we went out for Mexican food sporting our new Flavor Flav medals. Then home to shower and collapse.
I was pretty sure I felt a blister on my heel. Yep. A big one too. Gross. And a rub on my ankle.
The loot was great! Got a duffle bag, tech shirt, hat and mega medal.
This was the last race of the year for me. It's been a very fun year of running and walking and tackling obstacle courses.
Congratulations to Rachel on completing her very first half marathon!!!! That's quite an accomplishment. I would have never thought to do one at 17 years old. Way to go, Rachel!!!!!
Congratulations to Chuck on completing his third half marathon this year. Way to go! And he doesn't even like running.

The following types of counseling are often effective for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), as well as other anxiety disorders. During counseling with a mental health professional, you can learn ways to reduce anxiety and psychological stress in your daily life.
Behavioral Therapy
Behavioral therapy can help you modify and gain control over your behavior. It helps you learn how to cope with anxiety-provoking situations through controlled exposure to them. Examples include stress management (coping techniques), relaxation exercises, assertiveness training, and desensitization (gradual exposure to a stressful situation). This type of therapy can help you gain a better sense of control over your life.
Cognitive Therapy
Cognitive therapy helps you to change patterns of thinking that are unproductive and harmful. This kind of therapy helps you examine your feelings and separate realistic from unrealistic thoughts and helpful from unhelpful thoughts. Changing the way you respond helps you control the anxiety you may feel. As with behavioral therapy, it helps you gain a better sense of control over your life.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a combination of cognitive and behavioral therapies. This involves:
- Cognitive restructuring—change false self-concepts, such as low self-esteem
- Anxiety monitoring—record thoughts and feelings every day
- Education—identify the basis of your symptoms followed by specific educational plan to deal with them effectively
With this type of therapy, you examine your feelings and thought patterns, learn to interpret them in a more realistic way, and apply coping techniques to various situations. These skills will be useful for a lifetime.
Other Treatments
A variety of relaxation techniques can help you cope more effectively with stressors that contribute to GAD. Examples include meditation, deep breathing, progressive relaxation, yoga , and biofeedback . These techniques help you recognize tension in your body and release it with exercises that help quiet your mind and relax your muscles.
Regular physical activity may also help to reduce anxiety. Some good options include brisk walking , swimming , and strength training . Before starting an exercise program, check with your doctor about any possible medical problems you may have that would limit your exercise program.

Personality. There used to be a lot of it in local radio. It wasn't just about the music, but the jocks, the people between the tracks. They shopped at the same stores we did. Went to the same clubs. We drove by their offices. They were like pals. The "people" were what differentiated the stations from the mix tapes.
There was plenty of news to be had as well. WGBB, for instance, was one of the biggest players in the Long Island news game, I'm told. Based in Merrick, the AM station had a packed newsroom in the 1970s, long before Channel 12 or the Internet.
"Election night was always a long haul," recalled former WGBB newsman Gary Lewi. "We were logging 23-hour days but for us we were at the center of the action. The station only had 1,000 watts, but with the population density the way it was, you had an audience."
Gary has fond memories of working with guys like Ed Grilli and Larry Barr. The three called their little news crew "Lewi's Barr & Grilli."
But something happened in the early 1980s that changed the landscape. Those in broadcasting know it as deregulation. (more…)

If you find yourself using this function all the time, a much better way to define the encoding is to set ps.default_encoding in the configuration file to point to the right encoding file and all fonts you load will automatically have the right encoding.

afterwards you can use the resource $font in each other ps function like imagepstext() or imagepsbbox().

Jason C. Winters
Jason Winters, AIA, LEED BD+C, holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Drexel University and a Master of Architecture degree from Syracuse University. He also holds a Master of Liberal Arts degree from Johns Hopkins University. His professional work has been focused on design with an expertise in the field of healthcare architecture. Specifically, this area of practice considers the articulation of the built environment as an opportunity to advance the emotional, social, and physical well-being of its inhabitants. Although this approach originates from extensive research and experience in the healthcare design and construction industry, the work serves as an impetus for addressing multiples facets of our man-made physical environment and the prominent role it can play in all aspects of life. In this context, the relationship and resolution of form, space, and surface seek to capture the healing art of architecture and design while simultaneously creating compelling visuo-spatial narratives that enhance the individual experience.
Early in his career, Jason acquired valuable experience while working for Integrated Project Services near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During this time, he completed various pharmaceutical projects ranging from R&D environments to large scale processing and manufacturing buildings and facility infrastructure projects. This type of work required significant involvement in the design and coordination of complex and highly specialized building systems. As such, these types of projects produced an important knowledge base with regards to building infrastructure, engineering systems, and advanced building technologies.
After completing graduate studies, Jason began working exclusively on healthcare projects at CRGA in Annapolis, Maryland. Within a ten year period, he completed hundreds of projects for a wide variety of hospitals and healthcare organizations within the region. These projects provided a broad range of experience in the healthcare industry including outpatient services and ambulatory care to the most clinical services available through healthcare providers. Jason's clinical areas of expertise include surgical services and perioperative suites, nuclear medicine, neonatal intensive care, interventional radiology, and cancer treatment. He is the founding principal of the Kezlo Group, a healthcare/health science architectural design firm.
He is also a long time member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and heavily involved with the organization at the local, state, and national level. He served on the board of the Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the AIA starting in 2004 and was acting chapter president in 2008. He also serves on the AIA Maryland board as a director and Chairman of the Maryland Architect's PAC Committee. Jason serves as president for AIA Maryland in 2014. At the national level, he as served as a member of the AIA National Board Advocacy Committee and the AIA National Education Committee. He is also a board member of the ACE Annapolis Chapter and an active participant in the local mentor program.
Jason combines professional practice with a significant connection to architectural education and professional development. He teaches architectural curriculum part-time as an adjunct faculty member at the University of Maryland and Anne Arundel Community College. As a design studio instructor, most recently for the 401 Junior undergraduate studio, Architectural Design Studio II, his focus is on design processes involving the development of technical, conceptual and perceptual tools and effective communication skills in discerning, defining and presenting architectural design thinking of significant meaning and value.

Lady Gaga visited WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy where he is seeking asylum.
According to The Australian, Gaga arrived at the embassy around 7 p.m. and stayed for five hours. Gaga had a meal with Assange and shared a photo with Assange on Twitter.
The embassy also happens to be stationed across the street from Harrods where Gaga promoted her new perfume "Fame."
Gaga may have gotten the idea from rapper M.I.A. who tweeted to Gaga: "if ur at harrods today, come visit Assange at the Ecuador embassy across the st. im there. ill bring TEA and CAKE." However, there is no proof M.I.A. indeed was present.
Gaga's visit comes after a judge's order that Assange's supporters pay up $150,000 they offered for the activist's bail, which he gave up when he sought asylum, according to Rolling Stone.
Gaga also made headlines recently with her upset stomach that interrupted her performance onstage in Barcelona.

Together, We Save Lives.
The Safariland Group, a company with a rich heritage in the law enforcement and sporting markets for 50 years, comprises a group of well-respected brands known for their innovation and quality. We are committed to focusing on the customer first in all we do. Our Mission, Together, We Save Lives, is much more than statement; it is a creed we live by.
A History of Excellence
Legacy. Tradition. Excellence. To some, these may be mere words, remnants of a time when companies embraced their history and delivered on their promises. But, at The Safariland Group we live those values every day. We live them when we empower over a thousand people to design, engineer, research and deliver our protective equipment products to those that protect us. We live them as we continuously seek new innovations to add to the premier group of Safariland brands that have been protecting law enforcement, military and security professionals for over 50 years. We live them when we help save lives. Our Safariland Saves Club® has chronicled over 1,800 individuals whose lives have been saved in part through using our products. We're proud of who we are and what we do.
The Safariland Group's rich heritage didn't become what it is today simply from assimilating many protective product brands into one organization. Our Company has grown from our collective pledge to achieve excellence and our commitment to focus on the customer first. It is a common thread that binds us together on our journey. It has gotten us to where we are today. From one brand's small-town beginnings to another born from the love of a son to his father - this is OUR Company. This is The Safariland Group. And Together, We Save Lives™.
From Foundation to Innovation
In 1964, following his father's request for a custom holster, Neale Perkins launched a holster business from his garage in Sierra Madre, California. He named his new company Safariland, after the African safari excursions he and his father enjoyed together. Within just a few short months, Neale's custom holster was a hit and Neale went from making a few hundred holsters a month and selling them from his home - to more than 5,000.
In 1969, just five years after Neale began Safariland, another industry leader was born, American Body Armor®. Established as the high-performance standard in hybrid-engineered, concealable body armor for both men and women, ABA quickly became the premier brand throughout the law enforcement community. ABA produced the thinnest, most trusted concealable body armor combined with the most impenetrable armor power. Located in the small town Yulee, Florida, the legacy of lightweight, uncompromised ballistic performance was born. Today, the ABA brand drives the standard in advanced, modern-engineered body armor design for law enforcement, military and security professionals.
In 1996, American Body Armor® was purchased by Armor Holdings, Inc. Through the leadership of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Warren B. Kanders, Armor Holdings delivered on their strategic plan for growth, acquiring many of the most recognized and respected equipment brands in the law enforcement industry - including Neale Perkins' Safariland in 1999. Each successive company acquired by Armor Holdings brought with it an innovative spirit and a passion for its customers and products.
In 2007, BAE Systems, PLC acquired Armor Holdings, Inc. (AHI) and BAE Systems Products Group was formed to represent the collection of AHI companies that sold products to the law enforcement and sporting markets. The acquisition created a significant opportunity to grow the business organically in our markets. In addition, it enabled Armor Holdings' customers to benefit from the talent, resources and technology a leading defense contractor provides.
In 2008,the BAE Systems Products Group embarked on a mission to align itself under one name to better serve its markets, a name that would signify both to its employees and customers what it means to be a leader. The name "Safariland", with its reputation for quality and innovation, was found to be the most recognized and respected brand name in the market. As a result, Safariland was chosen as the umbrella company name to represent our 19 world-class brands.
In July 2012, BAE Systems completed the sale of Safariland to an affiliate of Kanders & Company, whose CEO is the same Warren B. Kanders that founded Armor Holdings, Inc. The focus of The Safariland Group will be on maintaining our legacy of superior products with a focus on growth in the US and internationally, both organically and through strategic acquisitions. President Scott O'Brien, who has been with Safariland for more than 35 years, will continue to provide strategic growth leadership, capitalizing on an earned reputation for both vision and tenacity.
In 2013, several important milestones occurred in The Safariland Group's plan to grow the business through acquisitions and greenfield development.
The first of these milestones was the addition of Mustang Survival®. For more than 45 years, Mustang Survival has been transforming innovative ideas and technologies into high-quality and practical lifesaving products for recreational, professional, law enforcement and military users. This acquisition was a solid initial step in the strategy to double the size of the business throughout the coming years and is consistent with the plan to utilize The Safariland Group as a platform on which to pursue selective acquisitions of other brands and products that fit the core mission, vision & values.
In August of the same year, The Safariland Group welcomed Med-Eng® to the group. When deciding upon an acquisition, it is very important the company being acquired is a good cultural fit. Med-Eng joined The Safariland Group portfolio with terrific synergy to the core mission of saving lives for military and law enforcement agencies worldwide. From the Med-Eng® EOD/IEDD product line to the Crew Survivability Blast Attenuation Seats, these business segments are a great compliment to the current product offerings and are an outstanding fit with The Safariland Group's culture.
Finally, in September, The Safariland Group was pleased to announce they had completed the acquisition of Tactical Command Industries, Inc. (TCI) a manufacturer of various custom, high-performance tactical communication headsets, audio solutions and commercial off-the-shelf tactical communications products.
The Safariland Group will continue to produce high-quality and inventive products for our law enforcement, competitive shooting, outdoor sportsman and military customers. The Safariland Group stands today on a foundation built from the passion, spirit and values that began almost 50 years ago with our founder, Neale Perkins, making a holster for his father in a small California garage.

RICHMOND, Va. – If one has ever talked to Jamie Skeen, it's automatically clear what his lifelong dream is and has always been. He wants to play basketball at the professional level.
On Wednesday evening, Skeen's dream became reality as the former Virginia Commonwealth University men's basketball standout signed with ASVEL Basketball Club in Lyon, France. San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker is partial owner and Director of Basketball Operations for the organization.
"I can't put into words how I feel right now," Skeen said. "I've worked my whole life for to get a profesional opportunity and can't wait to get over there and give it all I have. I feel so blessed to have such a great support system from my family to my teammates to my coaches."
Skeen led the Rams and ranked in the top 10 in the Colonial Athletic Association in scoring with 15.7 points per game, rebounding with 7.3 per game, field-goal percentage with 51.8% and blocked shots with 1.0 per game.
"We're extremely happy for Jamie and his family," Head Coach Shaka Smart said. "Today is a direct result of the phenomenal attitude and work ethic that he showed during his time as a Ram. Most importantly, this couldn't happen to a better person."
The Charlotte, N.C. native was the driving force behind VCU's magical run to the Final Four this past March, being named the Southwest Region's Most Outstanding Player. During the NCAA Tournament, he averaged 17.5 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 55% from three-point range and 48% from the field.
In less than two full seasons with the Rams (had to sit out first semester of 2009-10 season due to NCAA transfer rules), Skeen scored 838 points, grabbed 412 rebounds and shot nearly 52% from the field.
Skeen will head to France in early August for training camp which will start on August 7th. The season opening tournament for ASVEL is scheduled for August 26th-27th.

Gibson maintaining lineup continuity early on
MILWAUKEE -- Through the first week of the 2013 season, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson has been more consistent with his lineups than in the past.
Gibson used the same lineups Wednesday and Friday, subbing in Eric Chavez at third base Saturday and then writing out the same lineup with Chavez for Sunday's finale against the Brewers.
Gerardo Parra (leadoff), Martin Prado (second), Aaron Hill (third) and Cliff Pennington (eighth) have hit in the same spot every game.
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt and catcher Miguel Montero have been moved between the fourth and fifth spots, depending on whether there's a right-hander or lefty on the mound.
"You'd like to find a good mix of guys and put them in the right spot for the right reasons," Gibson said. "I think it helps the guys if you don't have to move it around a lot. That's not to say that I won't move it."

"..... people who vote inappropriately are more likely to vote Democrat," according to Wisconsin State Sen. Glenn Grothman. "I think if people cheat, we believe the people who cheat are more likely to vote against us." (Cheaters and inappropriate people are all Democrats who vote 'wrong.')
"Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania - done!" State House Majority Leader Turzai boasted of GOP-run legislative accomplishments. ID reform advertising was by Chris Bravacos, former GOP official, pharmaceutical lobbyist, school voucher advocate and Romney fundraiser. The law could disenfranchise 980,000 voters.
The ACLU sued on behalf of several elderly women, challenging Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional and unwarranted. State attorneys acknowledged .." no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; the parties have no direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states." A conservative judge upheld the law in August - Pennsylvania Supreme Court rules soon.
Jim Greer, former Florida Republican chairman, revealed intentions to suppress the black vote, citing a 2009 GOP party officials meeting. "All agreed, there must be no repeat of 2008. ... political consultants and staff pondered how to prevent blacks from voting."
Ohio's GOP Secretary of State upheld extended early voting days and hours in Republican leaning counties, shortened them in Democrat leaning counties. DOJ sued to extend voting for all Ohioans. Ohio 'compromised' by limiting all early voting then deceitfully accused Obama of 'military voter discrimination."
Clearly, voter suppression - not fraud - is the threat as only GOP legislatures are passing these bills, desperately coveting an outcome they can control. GOP election officials in Iowa and Colorado plan voter roll "emergency" purges before November's election. Federal judges in Texas, Ohio, South Carolina recently blocked suppressive laws.
UFO sightings are 3,615 times more likely than voter impersonation reports, per national data research. Voter ID proponents cite reports of 2.7 million people registered in multiple states and 1.8 million dead people registered and/or cast ballots.
My name might remain on voting rolls in Missouri despite voting only in South Carolina for seven years. Registered voters do die and they remain on voter rolls until audited. People do vote absentee/early and subsequently die. I agreed "we all have to show ID for air travel, cashing a check, etc." until I investigated.
Countless seniors, minorities, immigrants experience difficulty obtaining photo ID because certified birth evidence is demanded. This can be impossible if born at home without a doctor presiding, born in rural areas with a doctor neglecting to record the birth - a common omission for poor rural blacks. Naturalized citizens have difficulty obtaining original native country documents.
Don't disregard the lives of disadvantaged poor people who don't fly, rarely have bank accounts, don't drive or own an auto. Fees required for certified documents can be prohibitive. As of 2010, about 217 million Americans are eligible to vote, more than 10 percent lack "proper" identification, especially those traditionally leaning Democrat. Photo ID requirements differ - many states do not accept Student ID but will accept a Hunting/Fishing, Firearm or Concealed Weapon Permit. Huh? Koch Brothers/Tea Party vigilante group, "True the Vote," will plant intimidation agents at all polls.
Brennan Center for Justice concluded the unsubstantiated specter of mass voter fraud suits a particular political agenda - "fraud by individual voters is irrational and extremely rare - a singularly foolish way to attempt to win an election because each act of voter fraud risks five years in prison and a $10,000 fine - yielding only one vote. The single vote is simply not worth the price."
I'm not opposed to voter photo ID, but denying rights before a major election is Machiavellian. Genuinely concerned advocates would provide mechanisms at the November polls to supply official documentation for future elections.
If suppression succeeds, we're on a path to colonial times, when voting was the exclusive right of white male landowners. Modern countries have national computerized voter registration - America uses a mishmash of 20th century paper records and voting machinery.
Rather than deny anyone's civil right to vote, let's improve the system, not buy into this GOP desperation deception.

This weeks criteria for "best buys": The property has to be within walking distance to the slopes or ski in/ski out. It has to be at least 1,000 square feet and be priced under $400,000. Sound hard to find? I found quite a few available and they were located at Copper Mountain and Breckenridge.
The first best buy is located in a secluded location at Copper Mountain. You can ski or walk to the village center, which is only 300 yards away. This condo has plenty of sleeping room for everyone. It features two bedrooms, two baths and a large loft area for extra sleeping. Other features include vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace and a deck. At the end of the day enjoy a nice soak in the outdoor hot tub.
The condo is completely furnished, so all you need is your toothbrush. Tom Malmgren at Carbonate Real Estate offers this best buy for $379,000.
The next best buy is located in the Copper Mountain center village within steps to the American Eagle and American Flyer lifts. This top-floor condo is 1,274 square feet with two bedroom and two baths. One of the bedrooms can be locked off and rented separately from the rest of the property.
This is an amenity rich building that includes a fitness center, hot tub, ski lockers, underground parking and an elevator. This best buy is offered by Peter Woods with Real Estate at Copper Mountain for $350,000.
The last best buy is located in Breckenridge. This large 1,350-square-foot condo is located within walking distance to the Peak 9 lift and town … and the bus stops just outside the front door. This condo has been remodeled with new carpet and paint, wood and slate floors, granite countertops and a new gas fireplace. The condo is mostly furnished and includes a washer and dryer. Enjoy the natural sun light through the extra windows of this end unit. At the end of the day head over to the clubhouse and go for a swim in the pool, or just soak in the hot tub and relax in the spa. This "best buy" is offered by Mark Thomas of Paffrath and Thomas for $389,000.

Sarah Palin, 'The World's Greatest'
Since most Sarah Palin fetishists think she's Christ reincarnated with a folksy twang and fertile vagina, it stands to reason that someone would eventually make a Palin video tribute set to the music of R. Kelly. That time is now.
At first glance you'd think that this utterly hilarious compilation, featuring the music of a black man renowned for on-camera golden showers and statutory rape, was a parody made by Keith Olbermann or Bill Maher's staffs, but it was actually put together and posted to the web this morning by the delusional wingnuts who run the Conservatives4Palin website. Prepare to be mesmerized.

The Comedians of Comedy 2005 Spring Tour:
Three Weeks Of Fabulous Hotel Rooms
I left home on March 31st, and I don't get home until Sunday, April 24th. And I don't even have to drop a ring into a fucking volcano. What am I thinking?
What happened was, a bunch of really cool stuff got dropped in my lap right on top of one another. A groovy benefit show in S.F. on the 1st, a lucrative Vegas one-nighter on the 2nd, a fun week at Caroline's in New York April 7th through the 10th, and then the 3rd Comedians of Comedy tour April 15th through the 23rd.
I can't say no to any of that shit.
I was going to keep one of those daily tour diaries, but it's hard to write lucidly (or even get the fuel to st-st-st-START in the first place) when you've had Hotel Sleep. Hotel Sleep is like sleep leached of the depth, flavor and function of sleep. If sleep had a taste, and you could replace that taste with the taste you get when you bite town on tin foil, that'd be Hotel Sleep.
So, I'm writing this in Tallahassee, after one of the best shows of my career—all of us scorched the earth—and instead of being at Waterworks and getting free drinks and spittle-flecked conversation about comic books from fans, I thought I'd update you, my electronic brothers and sisters.
Also, I'm saving up to drink hard in Gainesville tomorrow night.
First, let's go through all the random-thoughts shit from April 1st through the 16th:
THE MAGNOLIA AWARD FOR MOST BAFFLING FILM I'VE EVER SHOT: A five-minute unbroken shot of me distorting my face for a McSweeney's video, which I've been assured "fits into the narrative".
HIPPEST GREEN ROOM AWARD Backstage at the Everett Middle School on April 1st, with an actual raw ginger root for shredding into hot tea, as well as an organic tea sampler.
MOST ENCOURAGING FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS/LEAST ENCOURAGING TO 36 YEAR-OLDS BULLETIN BOARD Again, backstage at the Everett Middle School: "Are You Strong Enough To Do What You Want To Do?"
HOPE FOR VEGAS AWARD "Maggie's Farm" on The Palms Casino sound system.
THE ONGOING COME HERE/GO AWAY MANHATTAN AWARD To Manhattan, which offered me these paradoxes:
Bob Saget coming in for a "guest set" on my sold-out Saturday late show at Caroline's, cursing for five minutes, and then disappearing while the happy tourists applauded, getting ready to be disappointed by me.
Tea and Sympathy in The Village giving me food poisoning.
The "whatever/whenever" department at The W on Lex refusing to bring me Pedialyte from the Duane Reade down the street when I was puking my soul out, but offering to send up Green Day's new CD.
The audience at Carson Daly applauding wildly when I compared Bush to Hitler, then cheering even louder when they hear Toby Keith's going to be on the show next week.
Being interviewed by the Bravo network about superheros while visibly drunk.
BEST NEW RESTAURANT IN PATTON OSWALT'S UNIVERSE AWARD: Veritas on 20th, which let me in wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and treated me like a big shot.
That pretty much wraps up S.F., Vegas, and New York, leading up to the early early morning of Friday the 15th. Five radio interviews before I leave for the airport, culminating in a New Orleans deejay who angrily slams the phone in my ear when I refuse to recite my bits. Bad portents.
BLUE HIPSTERS IN RED STATES I always feel weird when I travel through the so-called "flyover" states with my supposedly "hip" friends, 'cuz we all become such a living cliché—oo, look at the goofy T-shirt, Holy crap, look at the size of those crosses! Listen to these monkeys on the radio! But I think it comes out of fear. All of us on the tour—Zach, Brian, Dave and especially me—came very close to being trapped in a small town, married too young, never traveling and scamming the world into letting us sleep until noon.
Houston is a good reminder to anyone—and I'm talking to you, Darfur refugees!—that there's always a crappier place than where you're living. You hear me, Brazilian street children? I mean, there's always a level below yours. Okay, maggots living inside the festering bunghole of a dead crack whore?
Okay, it's not that bad. A crack whore's bunghole doesn't have a Starbucks, for starters. Houston was the first night of the tour—Friday, April 15th. Mary Jane's Fat Cat, which I think is two drug references, an archaic slang term for oral sex, and probably three trucker euphemisms for getting a rim job after a bacon and cheese taquito.
The place was packed. It reminded me of the theater in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. People peed outside, drunks yelled heckles that didn't even come within spitting distance of rationality. One heckler said something that sounded like "jappacunt" but leave in only the vowels.
It was great. My clothes still smell like cigarettes. Now, old bowling players want to fuck me.
We ended up at a place called Late Night Pies with a great jukebox, cheap beer and really yummy pizza. A girl said I reminded her of someone, someone who was a "really nice guy". I thanked her and then, twenty seconds later, she was back in my face, screaming at me, saying, "You knew you were on TV the whole goddamn time and didn't tell me! I'm going out and then coming back to kick your dick in!" She peeled off with a friend in a pickup truck, and I was worried until someone pointed out at me that she was one of those grind-the-clutch blackout drunks, who are sugar 'n' spice on one side of the coin, and piss 'n' punching on the other. "She never comes back" they said, setting our delicious pizza down.
On the trip to New Orleans we stopped at my personal shrine, the Waffle House. The waitress wore a button that said, "I'm Number 2!" We asked who Number One was. "My customers!" she chirped. We all hung our heads a little, realizing that without true, uncomplaining, idealistic labor like hers, this entire country would burn to the ground, leaving only cockroaches and coyotes, all of who speak Japanese. We bitch when the right kind of Doritos aren't in the green room. We were all super-nice to her and staff, and left big big tips. You think George Bush wears an "I'm Number 2" button? Fuck no. Well, he does, but it's a picture of Jesus saying it while looking in awe at George.
Saturday the 16th was New Orleans—a show so sold out they had to move us to a bigger room and it was still packed. Goddamn, that was fun. People bought me powerful, all-business drinks, and then I stumbled up to the Foundation Room.
Here's where the whole "hipsters deigning to hang with the common folk" lie imploded. We'd all of us—me, Brian, Zach and Dave—just done scorching, airtight sets about the coming Dark Age, the lack of integrity and hope and how we're the only ones who see it. Plus, you're welcome.
Now we're in a room that looks like a pimp's dick exploded, and we all make a beeline to the dirty/naked statues, snapping picks that make it look like we're blowing the dude's dick, and hey, look at that pretty lady's boobies! Wheeee! Idiots.
After the Foundation Room we ended up at—holy shit, there's a d.b.a. in New Orleans! Our goddess of a bartender poured us all a round of Johnny Walker green, and everyone was happy and pickled. Then it was down to the vampire quarter for spaghetti and watching THE RULES OF THE GAME projected on the wall. At one point a cute black girl in a skimpy fairy costume came in, and then got into a street rumble with a bunch of vampires. Vampires hate fairies—especially when the fairies are toned and in shape. That just reminds the vampires that when they get home later that morning their mom's going to yell at them for eating all the Chocodiles. The fairy skipped off down the street after yelling a very un-fairy, "Fuck you faggot motherfuckers!" "Crackers and jam, what a saucy mouth", I blushed before I fainted.
Four dehydrated and squirt-shitting comedians loaded themselves into the van the next day for the loooooooong drive to Tallahassee. We saw churches so big they'd make Jesus Christ say, "Jesus fucking Christ!", a strip club called Scuttlebutts, and the mighty Mississippi. We were crossing it going east, and could feel our cholesterol double as we did so. Also, the urinals could spray your choice of knock-off cologne, and there was NO BEER ON SUNDAY. Brian cried.
Tallahassee had good bar-b-q and uncomfortable beds, but a really great college station on the campus. WVFS ("v98") was a lot of fun for me and Zach, but I forgot to take pictures. Not that I would have—The Club Downunder in Tallahassee was, so far, the best night of the tour. What a stunning, fun and smart crowd. We're pulling out for Gainesville tomorrow, wondering how the other nights are going to top this.

The latest news on today's hottest celebrities ...
KATHY BATES: Hollywood actress Kathy Bates says she kept her battle with ovarian cancer quiet in 2003 because she felt it was something she needed to face on her own.
Bates has starred in the films "Titanic," "Misery," "Fried Green Tomatoes" and "Primary Colors." She recently had a recurring role on the sitcom "The Office" and now stars in the TV drama "Harry's Law."
The Oscar-winning actress talked about being a cancer survivor in an interview with Anderson Cooper set to air Thursday.
Asked why she didn't tell people what she was going through at the time, Bates replied, "I was advised to."
"I was contracted to go into a movie at that time, 'Little Black Book' with Brittany Murphy, who I miss very much, but my doctors at the time, they had to get insurance approval and all of that, so I was very quiet about it," Bates said. "I had to go back to work right away and I guess part of it was just, I don't know how to explain it, nobody else really knows what you're going through except another cancer patient. Even though your family is supportive and surrounds you, I just got to the point where I would go to chemo by myself and just really go through it on my own. I guess it's something I felt I had to face on my own. Now if I go through it again, I think I would be a lot more open about it. I admire people who have been open like Melissa Ethridge and women I see walking around facing it without wigs and all of that stuff. I think I would be more courageous next time."
THE SITUATION: "Jersey Shore" star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino said on his blog Wednesday he is seeking help for a prescription drug problem.
The reality TV personality made the announcement after media reports Tuesday said he had checked into rehab to deal with substance-abuse issues.
"I want to set the record straight. I have voluntarily taken steps to get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion," Sorrentino, 29, wrote on his blog. "I have spent the past several weeks getting treatment for this problem and recuperating from my work and appearance schedule. I appreciate my fans support and love you guys."
"Jersey Shore" was renewed this week for a sixth season.
RUSSELL CROWE: New Zealand-born actor Russell Crowe will play the titular Old Testament figure in director Darren Aronofsky's movie "Noah," Deadline reported.
Production on the epic about the man who heeds God's warning and builds an ark to save as many creatures as possible when a disastrous flood comes is expected to start in July, the entertainment industry news Web site said.
Crowe is best known for his work in the films "Cinderella Man," "A Beautiful Mind" and "Gladiator."
Aronofsky's big-screen credits include "Black Swan," "The Wrestler" and "The Fountain."
'DOCTOR WHO:' Jenna-Louise Coleman will play Doctor Who's latest companion, the British science-fiction series' producer announced Wednesday.
Matt Smith portrays the titular Time Lord.
Coleman, 25, has had roles in the British soap "Emmerdale," the movie "Captain America" and the upcoming miniseries "Titanic."
"Doctor Who" executive producer Stephen Moffat said the actress will join the cast after current companions Amy and Rory, played by Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill, leave the show later this year, EW.com reported.
"It's not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it's about to happen," Moffat said in a statement. "Jenna is going to lead him on his merriest dance yet. And that's all you're getting for now. Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy-meets-girl."

Although the technology is improving, it's difficult to get an accurate body fat measurement from most commercially available body fat analyzers.
Various types of body fat analyzers — also called impedance meters — are available to the general public. Results from portable body fat analyzers can vary depending on many factors, however, including the quality of the device and how hydrated you are when the measurement is taken.
If you're concerned about your body fat percentage, skip the commercially available body fat analyzers and ask your doctor about the use of more accurate measurement techniques.
Depending on the circumstances, options may include:
Body fat can also be estimated using cross-sectional imaging methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and computerized tomography (CT). These scans can provide the most precise body composition measurements, especially for intra-abdominal fat measurement. They are expensive, however, and are usually not indicated solely for measuring body fat. Imaging tests such as ultrasound may also be used to measure body composition.
Other methods to assess body fat continue to be studied.
Depending on the information desired, you and your doctor can determine the optimal type of body fat measurement. Keep in mind that specific body fat measurement techniques can be expensive and may not be available in all locations.

Ukraine president, rebels hope for cease-fire deal
NEWPORT, Wales — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko won NATO's support Thursday as he and pro-Russian rebels voiced hope they could reach a cease-fire agreement as early as Friday.
Poroshenko said he was ready to order a cease-fire in eastern Ukraine if a deal is signed at peace talks scheduled in Minsk, Belarus. The rebels seek a political settlement for their mostly Russian-speaking region.
"Look, Ukraine is fighting for peace," Poroshenko said at a news conference during the opening day of the NATO summit here. "It's Ukraine which pays the highest price every single day, losing lives of soldiers, innocent civilians." He expressed "careful optimism" about Friday's meeting.
NATO issued a statement late Thursday saying the leaders and alliance "stand united in our support of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders."
A day earlier, Poroshenko said he talked with Russian President Vladimir Putin about an outline toward a possible peace deal. Putin sketched out a seven-point plan that included the pullback of Ukrainian armed forces from cities and villages in the disputed eastern Ukraine regions and an end to operations by separatists.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen remained cautious Thursday, saying, "What matters is what is happening on the ground."
Talk of a truce came as pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine stepped up attacks around the rebel-held city of Luhansk, and armored vehicles advanced on the port city of Mariupol, according to Ukrainian media reports.
At the two-day summit, Poroshenko met with several leaders of the 28-nation alliance, including President Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, seeking support in the months-long Ukraine crisis.
A White House official said Obama and the other Western leaders expressed solidarity with Ukraine and agreed Russia should be punished for its conduct.
"The leaders reiterated their condemnation of Russia's continued flagrant violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and agreed on the need for Russia to face increased costs for its actions," U.S. deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said. "The leaders also expressed their strong support for President Poroshenko's efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution to the conflict."
In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that Ukraine's expressed desire to join NATO is "a blatant attempt to derail all efforts at initiating a dialogue of national reconciliation."
NATO's charter says an attack on one member is an attack on the entire alliance, but the organization has made it clear that membership for Ukraine isn't in the cards anytime soon.
NATO and the United States have criticized Russia for sending weapons and troops into eastern Ukraine. Russia denies it is involved in the fighting. More than 2,600 people have died in the clashes since April, according to a United Nations report.
Obama and Cameron set the tone for the NATO gathering by penning a joint opinion piece in Thursday's (London) Times that pressed the leaders to confront the "brutal and poisonous" Islamic State militant group attacking in Iraq and Syria.
"Those who want to adopt an isolationist approach misunderstand the nature of security in the 21st century," they wrote. "Developments in other parts of the world, particularly in Iraq and Syria, threaten our security at home."
The alliance made no specific pledges of action. Rasmussen said he believed the broader international community "has an obligation to stop the Islamic State from advancing further" and would seriously consider requests for assistance, particularly from the Iraqi government.
Obama and Cameron were more blunt in their editorial: "If terrorists think we will weaken in the face of their threats, they could not be more wrong. Countries like Britain and America will not be cowed by barbaric killers."

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The head of Mexico's organized crime unit stepped down on Thursday, just weeks after announcing that members of his team had been charged with having links to the nation's most powerful drug cartel.
Jose Cuitlahuac Salinas, head of the unit in the attorney general's office, resigned for "personal reasons," a spokesman for the office said.
Attorney General Marisela Morales has accepted his resignation, which was effective immediately, he added.
Salinas will be replaced by Rodrigo Archundia Barrientos, an expert on kidnappings at the organized crime unit, Morales said in a statement.
On October 17 Salinas said the Mexican government had charged seven officials, including three members of his unit, with passing information on government raids and investigations to the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, Mexico's most-wanted man.
Salinas himself was not being investigated, the spokesman at the attorney general's office said.
Mexico's powerful drug cartels are suspected of spending millions of dollars a year to corrupt officials, but charges are not common and convictions are few and far between.
President Felipe Calderon, who leaves office at the end of the month, staked his reputation on bringing the drug gangs to heel. But his offensive against organized crime coincided with a sharp increase in drug-related violence in Mexico.
More than 60,000 people have been killed in clashes between the gangs and their battles with security forces since Calderon took office six years ago.
This month Mexico charged 14 federal police officers with the attempted murder of two CIA operatives after the U.S. agents' vehicle was sprayed with bullets in a daylight attack that security officials suspect was ordered by a drug cartel.

In second grade, I learned how to draw horses.
I was pretty awesome at it, and from that point on, whenever anyone in my class needed a picture of a horse drawn, I was the one who did it.
What's that you are drawing, a horse? The proportions are all off, move!
But, not everything calls for a horse.
Brittany, what is this?
That would be….the last supper.
Right, but it's just a picture of 13 horses wearing bibs.
It's a metaphor. Plus, I have trouble with human hands and noses.
Jesus wasn't a horse.
But the bible doesn't say he wasn't not a horse.
I think you should go talk to the principal.
Well, this seems unfair.
I sat on a cold wooden chair in the office of Sister Mary Ellen, a rotund nun with facial hair like my dad, explaining to her why I drew Jesus as a horse, and how my parents had told me that nuns weren't married because they were all dating Jesus, and while I didn't know the exact details about how sex works, I knew everyone had to take their underwear off, and maybe she could verify if he was at least a centaur. She lost patience with me after ten minutes and sent me back to class and a note home to my parents.
I was also pulled out of advanced religion, and put back in regular old non-mensa religion. Which essentially meant less memorizing the Apostles Creed, and more cut and pasting animals, two by two, in a giant boat. Except for the unicorns and dinosaurs, obviously.
I think Sister Mary Ellen was just upset she wasn't as close to Jesus as she thought she was.
There's always jealousy in plural relationships, just ask Kody Brown. I bet that guy wishes he was a centaur, too.
Artistically speaking, I've never evolved past the horse. Or the general belief that Jesus had hooves.
Leading to an adolescence and early adult life that was largely void of crafting, save for the pottery class I took in college, that resulted in a series of failed ashtrays that resembled glory holes.
Today, I am here to redeem myself.
Now, I'm not entirely sure why when I had kids, the part of my brain that was in charge of dressing myself in fashionable clothing stroked out, but from the moment Jude crowned, the majority of our disposable income has gone to our children.
Which isn't a big deal for Andy, because he can still wear the jeans he wore when he was 20, which is why I took a certain level of pleasure in his post-vasectomy hernia.
But for me, I quickly understood why in all our family pictures I wore a gorgeous homemade dress with poofy sleeves, while my mom looked like an old timey train hobo.
Women are way less selfish than men. It's actually a fact. I read it on the bathroom wall of the feminist bookstore I worked at for a week in college until I was hit in the face with an umbilical cord made of watermelon jello by some abortion activists as I came back from my lunch break at Panda Express.
For months now, I have been in complete infatuation with the circle scarves from American Apparel.
But, for $28 a piece, I couldn't pull the trigger. I only recently stopped buying my underwear from the Walmart clearance rack, and relearning to spend money on myself is a process. Somethings have become a necessity due to fluctuating weight, like jeans and bras, mostly due to Andy's growing intolerance of the mental breakdowns I have in my closet every time I have to get dressed to go into public, that almost always result in my failed attempt to construct a noose out of a pair of Spanx.
Since, accessories have become a non-essential splurge I save for gifts and work bonuses.
So, I decided to make my own American Apparel Circle Scarf. I mean, how hard can this be? It's making a circle.
First, I went to the fabric store, voluntarily for the very first time in my life. Not that your mom making all your clothes isn't the awesomest part of elementary school, but the second we walked in, I was total PTSD over polyester rompers and irregular fitting paisley turtlenecks.
I wanted a stretchy fabric with enough length that I could wrap it around my neck a few times, so I bought 2 yards each of pink, heather gray, and green moss colored knit. Priced $4.98 a yard.
The fabric is about 45 inches wide, and comes off the bolt folded in half lengthwise, so keep it that way. I laid the fabric out long ways, then brought the two ends together and sewed them together, creating a seam.
And that was it. Seriously. The entire process took less than 10 minutes.
The end result? My new favorite accessory. Three awesome circle scarfs for a grand total of $29.88.
Are these better than a confiscated picture of 13 horses celebrating the Last Supper? I'm not sure, but I love them.
