Lily Sugar n' Cream
It's no surprise then that Lily Sugar n' Cream seems suspiciously similar to Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. The texture of the yarn is a bit thicker, feels a bit more sturdy and it also is not "shiny" like a mercerized cotton. The variety is identical in colour and name to what is available in BHC with a few exceptions. Namely red, emerald green, a grape type purple and black, which doesn't exist in BHC outside of the seasonal red (country colours have a little bit of khaki tinge to them) are a staple in the LSC catalog, which makes it all the more irritating the BHC doesn't come in those colors, because clearly, it could. Sugar n' Cream doesn't seem to branch out into seasonal colours as as BHC but as I don't have access to store that carry it, I can't speak to weird fluctuations or oddities. LSC is not available anywhere in my area other than at a few overpriced local yarn stores that carry one or two colors, usually ombres or twists for the dishcloth crowds. I am not sure what the deal is with cotton yarn, but everyone seems to want to make dishcloths out of it.
When it comes to quality the yarn is very similar to BHC, works up nicely, great for amigurumi, the lighter bright colours (sunshine) are snaggier but not too bad, finished fabric feels nice and soft and it doesn't fuzz up a whole lot. You can combine the two without any noticeable difference in the finished piece. I usually work it with a 3.75mm or 3.5mm hook for amigurumi, though the manufacturer recommends a 5mm hook.
I haven't bothered buying any colors I already had in BHC seeing as LSC is pricier ($2.89 a ball on Mary Maxim, $3.99 a ball at the local yarn store) as I don't see a big enough difference to want to pay for it. The balls are less sausage shaped and more like little cylinders, looking neater and cuter, and actually the center of the ball is more tightly wound and the yarn is neater when you get to the end of the ball. The solid ball is 2.5oz and I have never even seen a big ball or cone in the wilds so there's no point in getting into those.
My Lily Sugar n' Cream Stash
Apparently in the states you can find this brand in Walmarts and JoAnn's fabrics all over the place, but Canada, not so much, which is weird because even though it is a Canadian company that manufactures it in Canada, it is distributed mainly in the US and not so much in Canada. Makes sense right?
My grievances with Lily Sugar n' Cream are similar to the issues I have with BHC, too many ombres and stripes, too many bland pastel colors, not enough vibrant colors, primary colors (royal blue folks! can it be any harder to find?), and this bizarre distribution thing and having two yarns that are basically the same packaged and distributed in different ways at different costs, and so as to appear not to come from the same company. Since I have to mail order this stuff, I don't really bother with it anymore unless I just need a ball or two of a non-BHC color I don't have, for a project or something.
The images on the Lily website, showing the colors, are as terrible (or in some cases identical… were they even trying to hide that?) as the BHC ones, sort of washed out, faded versions of the actual colour, so if you are purchasing this yarn online, beware!
Best places to buy this yarn are Do It Yarns, an independent online seller who is very reliable, Herrschners (use .ca for Canada) or Mary Maxim (use .ca for Canada).

Related Post: Plans for SPX 2013.
As you already may know, I was born in Washington, D.C. and raised in the Potomac/Rockville/Bethesda area of Maryland. I haven't had a chance to go back since 2011, so SPX (Small Press Expo) was a perfect excuse. 🙂
I had a little bit of extra time on Friday to visit the National Gallery of Art — and I am SO GLAD that I did. Ever since watching Nodame Cantabile, I discovered a great interest in Igor Stravinsky's life and music, especially his ballets like The Rite of Spring and Petrushka. My interest became even greater with the film Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (starring my beloved Mads Mikkelsen). So I was very excited to get a chance to see the exhibit "Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced with Music." I really learned a lot from this exhibit — about how the Ballets Russes commissioned so many amazing artists including Picasso, Matisse, Cocteau, de Chirico, etc. — and enjoyed seeing the original costumes and amazing costume designs. I was also excited to see Alexander Calder's magnificent, ginormous mobile again — a childhood favorite.
Below are some photographs I took and images from the exhibit to give you a taste of my experience!

Will It Take Off?
Leave A Comment
127 Responses to Will It Take Off?
Why would it take off? The wheels would spin, but no lift is created.
No you idiot, it does take off. Haven't you ever seen an airplane take off at an airport? It has to go fast in order for that to happen. GOSH!
I think it would take off, because when your on a treadmill you're techincally moving. just doesnt seem like it.
In any even if it did the wings would break on the side of the treadmill and it would crash anyways lol.
Why would the wings break off? It would actually go away from the control panel. Maybe, if you turned the plane around and gave a little more incline (away from the control panel), you'd get a bit of distance.
because it has to go forward and it can't go up like a helicopter. So if it goes forward the wings would break because the wing span is larger than the treadmill.
No. How would the wheels spinning create the wind resistance needed to lift the plane?
How is that debatable? It's not that the plane goes fast enough that it suddenly by magic can fly. It's the wind pushing on the wings that causes the lift.
Kero, why would it go forward? Do you run backwards on the treadmill? No. See the video or animated GIF of the girl busting her ass on a treadmill. NOTE: she doesn't go forward, her legs don't break off, BUT it IS damn funny.
We need the Mythbusters.
I don't get the debate; how could it possibly be able to take off? Assuming it could get enough propulsion to counteract the motion of the treadmill, it still wouldn't be able to take off since the treadmill isn't nearly long enough for the plane to be able to accellerate enough to generate lift. And assuming it somehow would be able to, it would either have to instantly tilt upwards at almost a 90 degree angle in order to clear the control panel and stand, or rotate dramatically along the chassis to avoid having the wings completely sheared off.
And Kero: You actually aren't moving (at least in the sense that would be relative to this conversation) when you're running on a treadmill. Of course this is relative, so it might be best to say that you aren't moving in relation to the earth, which a plane would need to be in order to create resistance against the wind and thus take off.
No, it wont.
Anyone who disagrees is a dumbass.
It won't take off. Anyone who remembers the least bit of Physics could tell you why.
Lift is created by a pressure differetial between the top and bottom of the wing, created by the difference in length of travel of air over the wing. It's called Bernouli's Priciple.
Since in this case, there would be little to no airflow over the wings, no lift would be created. The wheels can spin all damn day, and if there's no lift, no takeoff.
The whole purpose of wheels on a plane is to reduce friction between the ground and plane, making it much easier to acheive the AIR SPEED required for the lift needed for takeoff, with much less thrust (forward propulsion) than if you had the plane mounted on skids. Of course, wheels make for a much nicer landing, too.
I know that some people are just kidding with their comments, but still.
What would be a reasonable situation to ponder would be the same airframe in front of a large fan, and the question would be "Will it take off?"
That might have a shot at getting off the ground, but since the lift would be created all by the fan, and the plane would lack it's own propulsion, it would likely lift off, then backflip or veer off and crash.
It all depends on the speed of the treadmill vs. the speed of the plane.
Wait no it doesnt. Assuming the wheels don't break off because they would be skidding the plane would take off. Because the the jets that move the plane not the wheels. so the plane would go forward and the wheels would just skid across it and kind of break, and then the plane would crash. But if the wheels were hylothetically indistructable, then the plane would take off.
no air movement = no lift
i don't get why this is so difficult
another thing to take into consideration is the immense thrust that is being shot out the back of the turbines, I dont know how much thrust exactly but i do know that the engines on full power, if left stationary for too long will eventually start ripping up the runway.. they are pretty damn powerful and this idea would just screw up the runway
Your answer would be correct if the forward thrust of the plane were being created by the wheels. Since the wheels are free spinning, and the thrust is being created by the engines, theoretically the plane can take off. Assuming that the treadmill was long enough, and that the thrust of the plane could overcome the extra resistance that would be put to the spinning wheels. That is of course assuming that the wheels can withstand the extreme spinning that would occur. An example would be if the tread was spinning at 12kph, and the plane tries to head forward at 12kph, the wheels would actually be spinning at like 24kph…(forgive me if the math is a bit off, but I'm just trying to prove the concept)
If we're going out on limbs here, then yes, if you had a treadmill 1-2 miles long, and you had enough forward thrust to overcome the treadmill speed and still get enough forward air speed for the lift required for takeoff, then you could get this beast off the ground.
If you're going to build a 2 mile long treadmill for this experiment, here's a question…
Why not just build a damn runway?
It seems that whole posit is if you could somehow get it off the ground on an abbrevated runway using a treadmill or like device.
I say that the only way to shorten the length of ground required for takeoff is to either lighten the load so less lift is required, increase the forward thrust and air speed by some mechanism such as the JATO (Jet-Assisted Take Off) bottles that the military has in it's inventory, or some combination of the two.
What could work is a treadmill went fast enough that you could achieve a ground speed comparable to the air speed required for takeoff. Then, the treadmill suddenly stopped or slowed considerably, transferring that ground speed into air speed and catapulting you forward. In doing such, you would place a tremendous "G" load on the airframe, and certainly the passengers. Imagine being shot from 0 to 130-150 MPH almost instantaneously.
Imagine you are standing still and step, feet planted firmly, onto a moving treadmill. You'd go shooting off the back, right? Some of us have had the pleasure of seeing this happen to someone. Well, if the opposite were true, and you were going really fast on the treadmill, and it suddenly stopped, you'd be fired off in a forward direction. This type of jolt would probably not be very healthy for a commercial plane or its passengers, but the steam catapults on aircraft carriers accelerate the planes to about 125 knots in a very short distance, so the concept has been adapted to practical use in a way.
Everybody stand up and run in place, as though on a treadmill. Feel any wind?
Umm, so the answer to this puzzle depends on the exact wording of the question. I've seen it written two ways, and I've answered each below.
1) If the treadmill were designed to match the speed of the PLANE, it will take off. Say the plane is traveling at 100 mph (relative to the GROUND), then the treadmill will spin at 100 mph in the opposite direction, causing the wheels to spin at 200 mph. The wheel speed does not match the plane speed (or the treadmill speed); however, the plane is moving relative to the ground (and air–no magic lift here), and takes off.
2) If the treadmill is designed to match the speed of the WHEELS, the plane will not take off. The plane cannot move relative to the ground as long as the wheels are not sliding. (In the above example, the wheel speed can never be the same as the treadmill speed if the plane is moving relative to the ground) Of course, this would have to be some treadmill to accelerate and maintain speeds such that the small amount of force it generated against the plane through friction in the axles would counteract the huge amounts of thrust generated by the engines. Surely, this is not the intent of the question, but with this wording, it is the correct answer.
Assuming that wording #1 is the one most people are using (it's certainly the more sensible of the two), then most people seem to make the mistake of thinking that speed of the plane is the wheel speed. But the only sensible reference for the speed of the plane is relative to the ground. So, if you're holding on to the sides of a treadmill that traveling at 5mph while you are on a skateboard, you are motionless. Now, assuming that the treadmill is not banked, the force you need to move yourself forward (analogous to the thrust necessary to move the plane forward) is not much greater than if the treadmill were not on at all. It will be slightly greater, due to some friction in your wheel axles, but not much. Once you do begin moving forward, the speed of the treadmill is still 5 mph, but the wheel speed is now 5 mph plus however fast you're going. The wheel speed is not the same as your speed.
So, put your skateboard on that conveyor runway, strap a jet engine to yourself, and I suspect you'll move forward (relative to the ground) no matter how fast the runway moves. And so does the plane. Just so long as there is no specification that the runway moves as fast as your wheels.
Two scenarios.
1. no take off – the plane does not move forward due to the force of the treadmill against the wheels. this is not how plane wheels work, however.
2. take off – the plane takes off because even though the wheels spin madly, they have no bearing on the engines pushing the plane forward.
The plane is facing the wrong to take off, so no. It would not
Jesus, you expect that plane to take off?? Christ. You people think that planes take off, due to the wheels turning?? The wheels could be going 500mph, it would make shit all difference. Some of you need to go back to school.
People are getting quite vehement without realising that their opponents are answering a different question to them. There are two different questions here, and that is what is causing the confusion.
Q1. Can use of a treadmill allow a plane to take off without moving forward?
To which the answer, is, of course, no. You'd get no airspeed under and over the wings, hence no lift.
Q2. Can a plane take off if there is a treadmill under the wheels, spinning in the opposite direction to the planes movement, set to match the speed of the planes forward motion?
(This is (paraphrased) the original theoretical question asked, and upon which the above satirical picture was created. Some people are therefore answering this question, not the "face-value" question suggested by the picture.)
In this instance, the answer is yes, the plane can take off, since the speed of the treadmill will have zero effect on the planes forward motion. The plane will move forward just as it would on an ordinary runway, and thus take off as normal.
what are all you eggheads talking about. it's obvious to me that the plane is not looking to "take off" but just to lose the lovehandles. you know how those jet planes tease…..
I don't think that anyone here is stupid.
I think that many of you are confused, or not thinking long enough, but not stupid.
(Except possibly LordOpie. OK GO was not a long-lasting meme. Please try to get over it.)
1 – Survey The Situation
This picture is not meant as an exact diagram of the experiment, it is just a funny way to make us think about it.
The actual experiment refers to a runway-sized treadmill, with no handles or incline, with a plane moving in the opposite direction to its (the treadmill's) motion.
2 – Biology 707
A car moves by pushing against the ground.
If you put a car on an appropriate treadmill, it would indeed stay in one place.
However, a plane pushes against the air, the wheels are there because if they weren't, the plane would scrape along the ground, slowly grinding itself away. The wheels aren't even connected to a motor.
3 – It All Comes Together
The plane is on the treadmill. The engines roar into life and push against the air. Eventually, the engines are generating so much thrust that the plane edges forward. The treadmill operators notice this, and start their contraption, only to watch hopelessly as the plane ignores them completely. For it is pushing against the air, not the ground. The plane eventually reaches the critical speed, and ascends, its pilot satisfied with a flawless takeoff.
I hope this has been of use to someone. In future, try not to put each other down so harshly. We're all doing the best we can.
The engines push the plane and the air resistance against the wings causes the lift. Without the resistance generated by the motion of the plane the efforts of the engines are for nothing. Regardless of the size of the phantom treadmill or railings the plane would not take off. The concept contradicts the physics of flight.
Your implying that the plane would move along the treadmill because the wheels are there only to hold it up until the necessary air pressure is there. For your scenario to work the plane would need to go faster than the treadmill could compensate for right? Well that nullifies the entire experiment. The point was whether or not the plane would lift without forward motion. The answer is NO. If it were possible I'm sure we'd be seeing some very different looking airports.
Holy crap I can't believe I read all this.
I think I actually feel dumber now.
Ok For Those Of You Saying It Would Take Off. STFU You Morons
no it wouldn't take off, it would go airborn if there was a fan blowing air under the wings.
Of course it wouldn't take off,
the flaps are in the "landing" position.
Good one y'all. It wouldnt take off its a picture. 😉
At this point I want to run into that picture and kick the fucking plane off the treadmill.
Imagine a treadmill that's long enough for a plane to take off of.
When the treadmill starts to move back, the plane will also start to move back. In order to stay in place, the plane will have to push itself forward.
How do planes push forward? By pushing air back.
The faster the treadmill moves, the faster the plane engine will have to push air backwards.
This creates a RELATIVE motion of air over the wings.
"Everybody stand up and run in place, as though on a treadmill. Feel any wind?" [comment 24]
Of course not… you're moving foward (compared to the treadmill) by pushing the treadmill back, not by pushing air back (like the plane does). This isn't even a correct comparison.
I can't believe this is still an issue. Of course the treadmill will take of, its got an airplane pushing it! Seriously, the plane would never leave the ground due to no air going across the wings, creating lift, which is how a plane flies, not by "Pushing air back."
It's sad that it takes 47 comments to resolve a question that should have taken 1. Whoever still thinks it'll fly I will hunt down and beat with a physics book.
This had better be the last comment I see in this thread.
by reading this, my iq is now lower than room temperature.
The people who say it will not take off wrongly assume that acceleration is in the wheels. Based off their assumption, if the wheels push the plane forward at 200 mph, and the treadmill moves back 200 mph, then the AIRSPEED will be 0 mph and the plane will obviously NOT take off. TREADMILLS DO NOT PUSH AIR!
However that is a wrong assumption.
The acceleration is in the jet propulsion, which is dependent on conservation of momentum, not tires. If the plane is being thrust forward 200 mph and the ground is moving back 200 mph, the ground speed will be 400!! mph and the airspeed will STILL be 200 mph (assuming friction of wheels on ground is negligible).
You can't model an airplane on a treadmill like you model a car on a treadmill.
"When the treadmill starts to move back, the plane will also start to move back."
The correct way to think about this, is if the plane is moving forward 10 mph based off thrust, and the treadmill starts spinning, the plane will still be moving forward 10 mph, but the tires will be spinning at 20 mph.
If the treadmill goes from 0-200 mph in 0.1 seconds, and you are sitting in a car in neutral, your wheels will spin but you won't really move too much (assume everything stays intact).
It's like pulling a tablecloth from under a marble.
If you have a jet engine on your car, it will start pushing your car forward, while your wheels are still spinning like crazy.
That is the correct way to model it, because at high speeds friction of the treadmill on wheels is negligible.
At this point I want to run into that picture and kick the fucking plane off the treadmill and then pick the plane up off the ground and stab Michael in the face with it.
Do you ever consider that the people holding the "it can fly" end of this argument are just doing it to fuck with you? Think about it….
Imagine a real runway at an airport. Imagine that the ground on both sides of the runway start moving foward really fast. Can a plane still take off from that runway? Why not?
For fecks sake!!! Get it through your nullo-brainsacks, ground moving backwards threadmill-style will not slow down a plane in any way, It'll just cause some heat through friction in the wheel base. Of course it will take off!
As a teacher, I am really embarrassed regarding the state of education. Those that are kidding: you really are making gullible people stupider. Those who are serious: open up a physics book.
just flip the plane around put on the planes breaks, turn on the engines, set the treadmill to high speeds, and kabango! plane takes off with out even moving it's wheels….
logical solution.
This is beyond a doubt, the stupidest site on the web. I've yet to find a post here that would appeal to anyone mentally older than 14.
Bumberschut, that's hardly a fair statement and really only serves to illustrate your novice use of the internet.
You're also a homo and totally gay in the pants.
Sike Cecil's answer says that the plane will take off on a treadmill that has enough length. The question here is if the plane will take off just from the treadmill going backwards and the plane pulling its self forward to keep up with the treadmill and it is an obvious that the answer is no, this is because if the plane is pulling itself forward enough to keep up with the treadmill (as a normal person running on a treadmill would do) then it is still stationary and there is no air running across the wings to create any lift.
Wow. 61 comments before this one and are there really still people out there that think that plane would take off?
ok we get it. Stop explaining it before i have to kick you in the throat.
How does a plane move? Force caused by it's engines. The wheels have nothing to do with it. If they did, how would a water plane take off?
Think of it as if you replaced the wheels with skis. The plane would still take off just fine on a normal run way. On the treadmill, sure, the treadmill will spin the wheels backwards at some X speed, but the plane will still move forward regardless.
no shit it wont take off, there is a treadmill in the way YOU STUPID DUMBFUCKS!
Well, Colin, your mama must have raised you on picturebooks, because the treadmill above is just a "funny" illustration of a scienific question that deals mainly with methods of propulsion. Of course the plane and threadmill shown above are not the actual ones meant in the thought experiment. If your train of logic were followed, the answer would be :"no, it is a toy plane and would not be capable of jet prpulsion"
Who's a stupid dumbfuck now?
Well caio, that sounds like a whole 'nother discussion to me…Why don't you start a thread and I'll be happy to post some pedantic speculation about minimal sizes for practical jet-engines.
doesn't the answer depend on what speed you set the treadmill to?
are you trolling ando?
Hmmm….i'm a pilot and i can say this…. an fixed wing aircraft will only take off if and only if there exist sufficent air movement (wind) aross the wing (thats what a wing does; it converts wind energy into lifting energy). A plane on a moving treadmill do not receive any wind for it to take off.
to Aristoi on Dec 15th,
The engine does provide a small portion of lifting power. If you know anyting about vectors, you will notice that a componet from the engine's power is pointed upwards, hence lift. However, this is only true when the engine is pointed above the horizon.
To those cares about the wheels!!!!!!
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE WHEELS ARE DOING… Some planes dont have wheels –> flat planes and ski planes. Wind and wing is all that matters when it comes to take off. A plane can still take off if there is enough headwind even if the plane is stationary… try it on flight sim.
To, Ando… even if you set tte treadmill to 1000 mph, there is no wind across the wings for it to generate lift.
Actually the answer is no because treadmills can't fly. Even with planes on them.
That's the actual answer kids. It's a semi-old joke that no one in 74 comments clued into.
Hooray for me getting fed up and finally handing the answer over.
you know what brendan n. i want you to go put your head between you knees and suck ur balls in ur throat cuz u kno wat, THIS IS A WEBSITE DUMBASS WHO CARES, besides i was just posting a comment on this picture you dumbshit i dont see what the hell is wrong with you, cuz if you can find things i say funny then more power to ya, but if u dont idc, but if you dont and hace something to say about it then dont bitch and moan over teh internet bitch and moan about it in my face cuz this is a picture god dammit
actually the real question is, will the plane take off on a treadmill, that is black, those sparkling wiggle treadmills
You guys are all idiots. There is no way for it to take off. It would hit the damn poles. And lets say the poles were not there, there is no vertical lift because the plane isn't actually going anywhere, there has to be forward motion for it to go anywhere.
Rawr, it might take off! Or it may not! Who knows! RAWRROFLKTHXBYEZ!
Using internet acronyms is a sure sign you're a fucking loser.
put it in a box with a 50/50 chance of the engines starting. them you wont now if its moving or not, much less if it's flying.
holy fuck you guys are completely retarted, the fucken ariplane would definately NOT take off, because if you turn the treadmill on, the wheels would spin and NO air would move over the wings causing lift.
Wow Jason you just blew my mind like a Thai hooker with no teeth.
Oh wait a sec…THAT'S BEEN POINTED OUT 10 FUCKING TIMES ALREADY OVER THE PAST MONTHS!
It would seem that holy fuck, Jason is the one who is retarded.

Pomplamoose On Making A Career While Making Music They Like
from the nicely-done dept
We've written a few times about the band Pomplamoose, who has become something of an internet sensation, but the bigger part to us (not surprisingly) was the fact that they had turned their success (mainly on YouTube) into a sustainable business model as well. Hypebot points us to a fun video interview with Jack Conte and Natalie Dawn, who make up the band, going into a bit more detail and noting that their goal is to have a sustainable business for as long as possible while making music they love without others telling them what they "have" to do:
It's difficult to think of a better, more succinct summary of what's so great about what technology allows in the music industry today. The old gatekeepers are no longer gatekeepers, and the real opportunity is in the platforms that enable others to avoid the gatekeepers, who would have kept them out in the past. Pomplamoose is a perfect example of this... even if they admit in the video that they have no hardline internet connection where they live and do all of their internet work with a 3G wireless setup (though, I do wonder how they get around the typical 5gig/month limits on most 3G connections).

Commentator Maria Santo's specious arguments for why everyone should be of the same mind about abortion only reinforces my conviction that the decision of whether to continue a pregnancy should be up to a woman and her doctor ("Dishonesty underlies abortion law," March 5).
Ms. Santo's intellectually dishonest use of the word "child" in reference to the unborn is a poetic and linguistic ploy that paints everything with one long, obscuring brush stroke.
We do not all agree that there is no difference between a fertilized egg, a fetus at six months and a two-year-old child. To claim otherwise already begs the question.
People like Ms. Santo who argue this way ignore the symbiotic relationship between a fetus and the woman carrying it. It is not a separate entity until it has successfully endured the process of birth.
This is why the people of Ireland are currently going through a collective angst as they review the case of a woman whose dying fetus ultimately poisoned her to death because she could not legally obtain an abortion there — or even legally leave Ireland to obtain one.
I'm not interested in promoting abortion. I share with Ms. Santo and other spiritual-minded people a belief that life is sacred. But that term should not dictate the actions we take.
People who like to display cute images of fetuses with little heads and stubby fingers and toes ignore the dark reality in the background in that picture. It's the woman carrying that tiny creature. How did we lose sight of her?

Morning Five: 09.06.13 EditionPosted by nvr1983 on September 6th, 2013
- Coming into the season we already knew that Syracuse was going to be loaded up front so the announcement that the NCAA had cleared incoming freshman Tyler Robinson to play should only serve to add to their depth this year. Robinson, who took courses this summer up until late July in hopes of boosting his high school transcript, had been waiting on the NCAA's decision for more than two weeks to gain his eligibility. Although Syracuse began classes last week the ruling appears to have been made expeditiously enough that it should not be a significant issue going forward. With a roster that features some of the best forwards in the country Robinson should see limited minutes especially early in the season, but he could have an impact later in the season particularly on the defensive end given his length.
- When Miami hired Jim Larranaga to be its head coach in 2011 many local writers questioned the hiring given Larranaga's age (61 at the time) and the fact that the school did not appear to seriously consider Frank Martin, who already had strong ties to the area. We still cannot really address the Martin situation although there are still some issues with his time in Miami while he was the coach at Miami Senior High, but it at least appears that age (or at least how long Larranaga plans to coach) will no longer be an issue after Larranaga signed an extension with the school that runs through the 2021-22 season. Larranaga's extension comes after a year that was the most successful in the school's history and although the team will be rebuilding this year it appears that they should be in good shape for the 2014-15 season as they will have several big-time transfers available at that time.
- If you were worried about the Big East basketball getting left off your television with college football being the driving force in TV contracts you can take some solace in the fact that CBS has reached an agreement with Fox allowing CBS Sports and CBS Sports Network to broadcast games from 2013-14 through the 2018-19 season. The agreement will give the CBS networks twenty games this coming season and frankly only a handful of the games are intriguing, but it should at least feature some of the conference's top teams, which will provide the conference with the exposure it will be missing without being on an ESPN platform. It will be interesting to see how Fox and CBS split up the Big East's games going forward in particular with how the two networks are able to grow and potentially challenge ESPN's dominance.
- Speaking of the Big East it appears their plans for expansion do not appear to have slowed down at least according to Xavier athletic director Greg Christopher who suggested that the conference will be targeting Saint Louis, Dayton, Richmond, and VCU for its next wave of expansion. According to Christopher the conference is looking to expand from 10 to 12 teams sometime in the next five years. It is not particuarly shocking that the Big East is looking to expand (we assume all conferences are always trying to expand), but it is unusual for an athletic director within the conference to publicly state that and in particular while naming the schools. Obviously, all four of the schools would be excellent additions from a basketball perspective, but it is unclear how the current members will view them from a non-basketball perspective.
- Former Kentucky star and agriculture commissioner Richie Farmer will reportedly plead guilty to misusing state resources while serving as the state's agriculture commissioner and could face approximately two years in prison. Farmer has reportedly entered into agreements with prosecutors and is just waiting for approval from the courts and ethics committee before it can be finalized. Given Farmer's popularity within the state some are still shocked that he could commit so many violations–according to prosecutors the charges include five counts on federal indictment and a state record 42 counts from the ethics committee–but based on our experience sometimes that degree of popularity can embolden people to take risks that they otherwise would not. Farmer is still waiting on a date to formally enter his plea, but it is expected to come on September 12 or 13.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you should continue to take it. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Using this medicine while you are pregnant can cause very serious birth defects. Use two forms of effective birth control to keep from getting pregnant while you are using this medicine and after treatment ends. The most effective forms of birth control are hormone birth control pills, patches, shots, vaginal rings, or implants, an IUD, or a vasectomy (for men). One of these forms of birth control should be combined with a condom, a diaphragm, or a cervical cap. Also, you must have a negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks before you will be allowed to take this medicine. If you think you have become pregnant while using this medicine, stop taking this medicine and tell your doctor right away.
This medicine may raise your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. This is more likely in people who already have heart disease. People who use this medicine for a long time might also have a higher risk.
This medicine may cause bleeding in your stomach or intestines. These problems can happen without warning signs. This is more likely if you have had a stomach ulcer in the past, if you smoke or drink alcohol regularly, are over 60 years of age, are in poor health, or are using certain medicines (such as a steroid medicine or a blood thinner).
Check with your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of liver problems including dark-colored urine or pale stools, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, pain in your upper stomach, or yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.
This medicine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Call your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, hoarseness, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth while you are using this medicine.
Serious skin reactions can occur during treatment with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms while taking this medicine: blistering, peeling, loosening of the skin, chills, cough, diarrhea, fever, itching, joint or muscle pain, red skin lesions, sore throat, sores ulcers, white spots in the mouth or on the lips, or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Call your doctor right away if you have confusion, drowsiness, fever, general feeling of illness, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, stiff neck or back, or vomiting. These could be symptoms of aseptic meningitis.
Tell your doctor if you have unexplained weight gain or edema (fluid retention or body swelling) with this medicine.
This medicine may cause diarrhea in some people. The diarrhea will usually disappear within a few days as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, check with your doctor if the diarrhea is severe or does not stop after a week.
Stomach problems may be more likely to occur if you drink alcoholic beverages while being treated with this medicine. Therefore, do not regularly drink alcoholic beverages while taking this medicine, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (eg, acetaminophen, aspirin or other salicylates, or ketorolac, Toradol®) together with this medicine on a regular basis may increase the chance of unwanted effects. The risk will depend on how much of each medicine you take everyday, and on how long you take the medicine together. If your doctor directs you to take these medicines together on a regular basis, follow his or her directions carefully. However, do not take acetaminophen or aspirin or other salicylates together with this medicine for more than a few days, and do not take any ketorolac (eg, Toradol®) while you are taking this medicine, unless your doctor has directed you to do so and is following your progress.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.

- Dialysis
- Medicine (antidote) to reverse the effect of the poison (fomepizole or ethanol)
- Medicines to treat symptoms
- Tube through the nose or mouth into the stomach to wash out the stomach (
gastric lavage)
- Oxygen and breathing support
- Other medications (folinic acid, bicarbonate)
Expectations (prognosis)
Methanol is extremely poisonous. As little as 2 tablespoons can be deadly to a child. About 2 to 8 ounces can be deadly for an adult. Blindness is common and often permanent despite medical care. How well the person does depends on how much poison is swallowed and how soon treatment is received.

UC Hastings Vs. San Diego
May 10, 2005, 04:12:47 PM »
Ok help me choose! I was accepted to UC Hastings and am waiting for USD. I am from SD and love the area. I plan to live in the area regardless of where I go. So should I go to Hastings or USD?

Ranking either 63 (USD) or 41 (Hastings) is a big difference... Also, Hastings used to be a lot higher, so even if it doesn't go up a lot in the near future, it's still not as "down" as USD...
I'd say, if you want more opportunities, go with Hastings. Hastings will still get you a job in San Diego, but I'm not so sure that San Diego would get you a job much elsewhere (much less in SF, where there are sooo many law schools).
I know you plan on staying in San Diego after school, but I think you can do that with a Hastings JD--and go other places if ever you wanted, whereas the USD JD would probably limit your options more...
I say go with Hastings. The weather will suck in comparison, but you'll have the obviously more marketable degree. Besides, it's not like wanting to work in New York but going to school in Nebraska. SD is your home town--they'll welcome you back, especially with a degree from such a highly respected school as Hastings...

I think if you want to and you know for sure you want to be in San Diego, I personally would go with USD. I got into SD and was waitlisted at Hastings but I think that even had i gotten into Hastings I would have gone to USD cuz i wanted to live in San Diego. Its a tough choice based on ranking, but since USD is the main respected law school and the only top 100 law school in San Diego, most of the firms hire a ton of USD grads and the name goes a really long way in San Diego. I had a friend who just graduated Hastings and she moved down to the OC and it took her forever to find a job and she is now working 100 hours a week doing worker's comp law at a mid sized firm. I know this is only one anecdotal story, but I think USD will carry you farther and youwill make many more connections in San Diego than Hastings. Of course, if you think you may want to go anywhere else, go with Hastings. Im with you though, I went to UCSD and have lived back in LA for the past 5 years, and I dont know why I ever left. I cant wait to move back down to San Diego

I would go to USD over Hastings if you are sure you want to stay in San Diego. USD owns the SD market, and I think that the atmosphere of the school is far better than at Hastings. The rankings don't matter that much, especially between low first tier and high second tier. USD also has the 3rd highest bar passage rate in California. The only reason I would consider Hastings over USD is b/c of in state tuition reasons.

I live in SD and gotta agree with one of the last posters who said it dominates the SD area. as you already know, USD has a pretty good reputation around here. if you plan on working here eventually anyway, you wont lose jobs because you chose to go to the best law school in the city.

If you're absolutely positive that you want to practice in San Diego, than USD may be the better choice.
Having said that, UC Hastings is better school all around. If you want to practice in other cities besides San Diego, UC Hastings actually has some national pull with law firms, whereas USD would not.

I agree with what everyone else said. I'm pretty sure though that hastings is quite a bit cheaper that USD, are you sure you wouldn't want to work in LA or San Francisco? San Diego is nice but its a smaller legal market. I'm going to USD but if I had the choice I'd choose hastings.

If I knew that SD was where I wanted to live and practice, USD would be my choice as well. Most importantly, you will have a far greater ability to make contacts. And as far as being able to go to other markets to practice later on, there are always firms looking for attorneys with experience...especially if you initially become employed somewhere where you might actually obtain litigation experience.

I was accepted by UC Hastings and USD.
I chose USD.
It's a tough decsion.
My situation was more complex. My wife and I are both attending law school, and USD was the only one to accept both of us. My wife is still waiting on USF, and would probably be accepted, but we are still headed to USD no mattter what. We are both attending PT. It also helps that I got a job at a law firm in SD.
You probably can't go wrong with choosing USD if you want to end up in SD, but I do believe that Hastings has a better reputation overall in CA in general. So, if you have any notion of living elsewhere, attend Hastings. It is cheaper (by ~10k) as dave303 mentioned. Also, you will NOT have a tough time getting a job in SD with a Hastings degree (even if USD dominates in SD). You'll probably do just as well as USD grads in SD, and perhaps even better.
So, bottome line, do you want to save ~30K over 3 years, and where do you want to live during LS?

I am told that PillsburyWinthrop's SD office actively recruits from Hastings but not USD. They are one of the larger national law firms with a presence in SD, but of course only a single datapoint. I live in San Diego, and it kills me that I'm leaving for law school (Tulane), but given your choices I would be going to Hastings without question. USD is unheard of outside of CA...the UC's, on the whole, are regarded as the best public university system in the country.

Turbo Compressor was a useful stakes winner on the dirt last
year but since Todd Pletcher switched him to the turf in March, the 4-year-old
son of Dynaformer has inserted himself into the conversation about the nation's
top male grass horses.
Fresh off
his impressive gate-to-wire win last out in the $500,000 Colonial Cup at
Colonial Downs on June 16 when going one mile and three sixteenths on firm footing
in 1:55, Turbo Compressor will be the likely favorite in the Grade 1 $500,000
United Nations Stakes. He'll be asked to carry his speed one-half furlong
farther on Saturday.
"He ran a
very good race last time out," said Pletcher. "We're bringing him back on a
little bit of a short rest but he's coming up to the race very well. I think
that stretching him out a little further will suit him."
paired Turbo Compressor with a variety of different riders before giving Joe
Bravo the call for the Colonial Cup. Bravo, who is considered a master of pace
on the Monmouth course, gets the return call for the United Nations and will be
part of the 118 pound impost.
But with
the locally-based Freud's Honour likely to challenge Turbo Compressor on the front
end, the race may set up for one of the horses sitting off the pace.
"It doesn't
look like there's an awful lot of speed in the race," said Tom Albertrani, who
trains likely second choice Brilliant Speed. "As long as my horse gets a clean
trip and it's an honest pace, I expect him to run his race."
It's been 10 months since
Brilliant Speed, who led into the stretch in last year's $3 million Breeders'
Cup Turf before fading, has won a race but his dance card has been full while
running in grade one company. Rosie Napravnik will travel from Belmont to ride him for the first time.
"He's run
in all of the big spots and he's been close. Hopefully, he'll move forward and
we'll get him back to the winner's circle," said Albertrani, who is best known
as the trainer of multiple grade one winner Bernardini and as the former
assistant to Bill Mott when Mott conditioned champions Theatrical, Paradise
Creek and Cigar. Mott will send out Al Khali in the United Nations.
the only other locally-stabled horse in the field of seven, finished sixth in
last year's edition of the United Nations but trainer Diane Alvarado isn't
shying away from the competition even though the horse's best and most recent
races have been on the dirt.
"It's a
tough race and everyone says he'll be a long shot, but he won a couple of times
on the turf," she said of the 2010 Breeders' Cup Marathon winner. "Paco Lopez
is going to ride him and he loves him on the turf. Paco has been working him

On Jan. 8, his 66th birthday, David Bowie surprised music fans around the world with the announcement that he'd secretly completed a new studio album.
This was a big deal — the first record in a decade from a legendary rock star more or less thought to have retired — and wall-to-wall media coverage over the months to come reflected a pent-up desire to have Bowie back in our lives. When "The Next Day" hit stores on March 8, many critics called the album one of the singer's best, helping it along to an impressive debut at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The man once known as Ziggy Stardust, it seemed, had risen once again.
Or had he?
Less than six months after its release, "The Next Day" — with a title that suggests moving ever forward into the future — seems almost to have disappeared.
TIMELINE: Summer's must see concerts
Last week the record was nowhere to be found on the iTunes album chart. It hasn't really taken hold on the radio. And though a music video for the album's lead single, "Where Are We Now?," quickly racked up millions of views online, more recent clips from the record have made smaller impressions.
For the week ending Aug. 3, Google Trends rated Bowie's worldwide search interest at 19 on a scale of 0 to 100, well below youngsters like Miley Cyrus and Skrillex as well as peers such as Bruce Springsteen.
But Bowie isn't alone. This year a number of high-profile albums, movies and songs — pop-cultural properties that each appeared with the fanfare of an event — have had trouble gaining the kind of long-term traction that artists and their backers crave.
Think of Baz Luhrmann's lavish big-screen adaptation of "The Great Gatsby," which utterly dominated movie news before its opening in May but now seems like a distant memory. Or "Harlem Shake," the thumping dance-music track by Baauer that topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five straight weeks beginning in February.
At that time, the song — the first to benefit from a shift allowing YouTube streams to help determine chart placement — felt like a harbinger of change. Yet when Baauer played it at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in mid-April, "Harlem Shake" had already started to sound like a relic.
Even Kanye West, that committed legacy-builder, saw sales of his "Yeezus" fall 80% in its second week in stores in June — "the largest second-week percentage drop for a No. 1-debuting album in over a year," according to Billboard.
Each has been left behind by an ever-accelerating culture that demands simultaneous engagement on multiple fronts.
"Everything moves so much faster than it used to," said Keith Caulfield, associate director of charts at Billboard. "And consumers have so many more options than ever before. So as a result it's hard to get people's attention today — and it's even harder to hold onto it."
Yet some acts have done exactly that. Last year Adele's "21" was the biggest-selling album of 2012, a title it also earned in 2011. (It's never left the top 50.) The Las Vegas band Imagine Dragons is all over pop and alt-rock radio right now with songs from an album it released almost a year ago.
And since he put out his smash comeback effort "The 20/20 Experience" in March, Justin Timberlake has maintained a spot near the center of the pop-culture conversation.
How to account for which titles attain a measure of what social scientists call stickiness?
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
It's not just a matter of perceived artistic quality. Critics tripped over themselves to praise "The Next Day" (though it's drearier than its fans will admit), while Imagine Dragons' pumped-up anthems go limp under scrutiny.
Instead, longevity seems to derive from an artist's ability (or willingness) to "keep pounding the message," as Steve Berman put it. The vice chairman of Interscope-Geffen-A&M Records, Berman should know: He's part of the team that's kept Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" at No. 1 for nine weeks — the longest stint in 2013. (Last week Thicke's latest album, also titled "Blurred Lines," debuted at No. 1 as well.)
"Blurred Lines" is a great song, as funny as it is funky; perhaps more important, it's a timely one, with a groove that shares retro-disco attitude with recent hits by Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Daft Punk.
But even if you hate the tune, you've probably had trouble tuning it out. Since its risqué video appeared on YouTube in March, Thicke has been a near-permanent media fixture — giving interviews, performing on awards shows, remaking the song with kids' instruments on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."
"Getting caught up thinking the song is gonna carry it, that's where the danger lies," said Berman. "It has to be about the work underneath, explaining to the audience who Robin Thicke is and figuring how to get people to continue to embrace him."
The entertainment media are of course complicit in this effort, a sign as much of their endorsement of a given song or singer as of their unceasing need for fresh content in the age of podcasts, blog posts and Twitter feeds.

Timberlake especially seems to understand the modern media appetite. On the heels of releasing his album he's consistently added to the story with videos, appearances and a summer tour with Jay Z that wraps up Aug. 16 in Miami. And the plan extends through the end of the year: Next month Timberlake plans to put out a sequel to "The 20/20 Experience," followed by an arena tour of his own in the fall. To paraphrase his hero Michael Jackson, he's working day and night.
Bowie, by contrast, has done virtually nothing beyond his music videos to promote "The Next Day"; West too has kept promotion (of at least the deliberate variety) relatively minimal. And both men appear to have paid for their reluctance to feed the beast.
The upshot is a narrowing of the gap between art and marketing; the artists succeeding now are those capable of making one feel like the other, all-purpose entertainers at ease in the varied settings of today's busy mediascape.
To a purist's sensibility — one that says important work should stand on its own — this development may be something to lament, just as it was a half-century ago when "American Bandstand" effected a slower-paced version of it.
Certainly it's regrettable in the case of, say, George Strait, the veteran country singer whose terrific 2013 album "Love Is Everything" has made little mainstream impact thanks to Strait's general disinclination toward selling himself.
TIMELINE: Summer's must see concerts
And it's equally unfortunate, albeit in the opposite sense, with Jay Z, who seemed to betray his own creeping fear of obsolescence by teaming with Samsung to create an unwarranted event out of the otherwise ho-hum "Magna Carta Holy Grail." In these and other instances, we're being led to focus on the wrong thing — or being led not to focus on the right thing.
Sometimes, though, the demands of the market can yield thrilling results.
In a sign that even he can read the writing on the wall, West is set to break the semi-seclusion he's been in since June, when Kim Kardashian gave birth to their daughter, with a performance later this month at the MTV Video Music Awards. It's the same telecast where he notoriously cut off an acceptance speech by Taylor Swift in 2009.
MTV says he'll do "Black Skinhead," one of the most confrontational cuts on "Yeezus," a clanging electro-punk track in which West raps, "They see a black man with a white woman at the top floor, they gonna come to kill King Kong."
It's hard to imagine we won't be talking about it the next day.

Jordan 2012
CERF gives $4 million in aid for Syrian refugees in Jordan
30 May 2012: Since early 2011, thousands of Syrians have sought refuge in Jordan as a result of on-going violence in Syria. The number of vulnerable Syrians crossing the border has increased in recent months, putting pressure on an existing transit facility in Ramtha which provides temporary shelter and protection on arrival to refugees.
The lack of adequate access to adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene, is a mounting concern in transit facilities for displaced Syrians in northern Jordan, including two newly identified transit sites : King Abdullah Park and Cyber City. A UN assessment of the needs of the Syrians residing in the Ramtha transit facility, as well as two newly identified transit sites, in northern Jordan confirmed that there is inadequate access to safe water and sanitation services, coupled with poor hygiene practices, which will have severe health-related consequences if not immediately addressed. The limited access to adequate medical services combined with displacement, has caused the further exposure of Syrians and host communities to the risk of tuberculosis (TB).
In response, the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) provided US$3,994,809 to five UN agencies and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to provide life-saving assistance to Syrian refugees in Jordan.

THL Toolbox > Developers' Zone > Generating Filename List for Windows
Generating Filename List for Windows
Contributor(s): Mark Ferrara
Here is a Freeware utility I've used for a couple years that offers some useful features to accomplish this and more.
Oscar's File Renamer http://www.mediachance.com/free/renamer.htm
With a Mac it's easy to copy a list of files in a folder to a text document, but difficult on Windows. Here is a way to do it. In the command prompt type the name of the folder you want a list of and then the file you want to write the list to. So in this case I get the contents of "temp" and write it to a file called "filelist.txt".
Here's how:
dir C:temp > C:filelist.txt
It's that simple. here is what i got:
- Directory of C:temp
03/12/2004 12:39 AM 1,343,488 01929_comics-2 .04.mp3
08/18/2003 01:29 PM <DIR> rasterproxies
03/10/2004 02:54 PM 126 test-export.tab
03/10/2004 02:52 PM 126 test-export.tab~
03/31/2004 07:15 PM 144 test2.tab
10/23/2003 04:28 PM <DIR> tm
10/23/2003 04:24 PM 196,781 tm.zip
6 File(s) 1,587,789 bytes
4 Dir(s) 12,923,981,824 bytes free
If you want a simple list of the names of the files in the folder without the date, time, size, or the directories listed, you can type:
dir /a-h /b > C:filelist.txt
Another command for creating a file list is:
dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelisting.txt
This comes from an O'Reilly hack page that also explains how to make file listing part of the right-click, context menu for folders so that by right clicking on a folder you can automatically generate a filelist for that folder. The page is at:
However, I found that their technique does not quite work the way they describe. For one, as many users complained, their batch script fails to open the filelist after creating it. Secondly, it gives the dates, times, etc for all files and directories, instead of just listing their names. Thirdly, I also found that it did not give the file list for the folder that was right-clicked on but for its parent. So, I modified the batch script as follows.
echo off
cd %1
dir /a-h /b /-p /o:gen >filelisting.txt
cd ..
echo on
Their basic instructions for creating it as a right-click context link is as follows:
- Create the above file in Notetab
- Save in the C:/WINDOWS folder as a ANSI file type with the name filelist.bat
- In Windows Explorer choose Tools menus, Folder Options
- Choose the File Types Tab
- Choose the Folder type
- Click the Advanced Button
- Click the New Button
- Under the Action box put in "Create File Listing"
- Use the Browse button to located the "filelist.bat" file
- Click OK to close all windows
Warning! : This adds an entry in the Windows registry. To remove the right-click, file list option is a more complicated process requiring the use of Window's RegEdit program. Instructions for that can be found at the same O'Reilly page listed above.
Another possible solution is the following. Note that no THL staff has used this. http://www.infonautics.ch/directorylistprint/

Pandora says 2.5 million using online radio service in cars
LOS ANGELES -- Pandora Media Inc., the biggest online radio service, said the number of U.S. listeners in cars topped 2.5 million, a milestone in efforts to win customers from traditional stations. The stock rose the most since March 8.
Listeners obtain the service from 23 auto brands and eight car-stereo makers, Oakland, California-based Pandora said Tuesday in an emailed statement. This year, Pandora will become available in more than 100 models, Chief Marketing Officer Simon Fleming-Wood said.
About half of all listening takes place in autos, a crucial battleground in the $15 billion local radio advertising market. Pandora, with more than 70 million monthly users, will come installed in one-third of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. this year, the company said.
Pandora also plans to make the service available in Dodge, Infiniti, Jeep, Kia and Ram brands. Its partnerships with the auto industry started with Ford Motor Co. in 2010.
The shares gained 8.5 percent to $16.41 at the close in New York, the biggest advance since March 8. The stock has climbed 79 percent this year, compared with the 11 percent gain for the Russell 1000 Index.

Out Of Time Lyrics
I've never felt so sober.
I've never felt the low that I feel tonight.
Your words made everything drag on and on.
I think I finally found her,
and when I did I just couldn't make things right.
This is really happening?
Oh god I think I just ruined my life.
What the fuck am I doing?
I can't tell the difference from wrong and right.
I second guess my decisions,
'cause I haven't been this person in my whole life.
I think I need something new here,
but I keep longing for what I had.
No need for second opinions,
I'll do the best I can to ruin what I have.
Come on.
Don't think you've gotta go it alone here.
I've got nothing left to hide.
You've got time. Just make up your mind.
I thought this was what you wanted,
someone who gets everything right.
I thought this was what you wanted,
someone to put you first in their life,
'cause we're running out of time.
Let's have three cheers for the New Year.
Here's to hoping it's not as bad.
This wasn't part of my vision,
the optimist in me swore we could make this last. But no,
you ruined my favorite records.
I listen to them and I think of you.
I just hope you remember
the countless times that I believed in you. For what?
Just know that it kills me
When I hear anything to do with you.
If you don't see it, just believe me,
I, I'm leaving and you won't hear until a year from now, but it kills me.
Now I hate that everything's about you.

Apple's Steve Jobs has done it again! Without too much to say watch this video of the new Apple iPad. It is revolutionary in the way we will consume our content moving forward. It's $499 which is a great price. The only possible drawback? The keypad is a touch pad on the surface of the "screen" so I can't imagine it will be good for long term writing assignments.

How to Freeze Your Jeans & "Clean" Them
I recently bought my first pair of "serious" jeans. The reason I know this is because as I was standing at the register about to pay A LOT of money for them, a cool dude who was standing next to me at the register said, "Oh, you're going to like those." "Do you have a pair?" I asked him. "Nope," he said, "But you're going to like those." I felt like a first time drug or Ferrari buyer, not a shopper for a new pair of pants. And then he said, "Don't wash them."
"Don't wash them?" I asked, thinking he was joking.
"Nope." he said.
"Oh, you mean I should only dry clean them?" I tried again.
"Nope." he repeated. "Never wash them. You'll ruin them."
It was at that moment that the woman behind the register piped up and explained that they only "get really good" when they're not washed. In a pinch, she said, you can wash them in cold water inside out.
And then she said, "But I freeze mine when they start to feel dirty."
Now I felt as if I were really entering a new land. Washing is not something I'd ever considered optional with clothing, particularly something as prone to dirt as jeans. And while I could quickly grasp that it was coolest to do nothing, I was fascinated by the notion that freezing a piece of clothing might somehow "clean" it, or at least simulate the cleaning process.
Apparently, although I'm new to this, washing jeans is really verboten and freezing has popped up as one alternative. While it doesn't make for lots of instructions in a How To, I thought I had to get this down in our archive. This is what the woman at G-Star Raw told me she did at home.

In fact, no one on the team knows what it is like to score a goal against the Skyhawks. When the Lady Bisons meet the Skyhawks Friday night at 7 at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex they will be out to end a 5-0 losing streak in the series, including four consecutive shutouts.
Tennessee-Martin holds a 6-1-1 series advantage.
"It is a very dangerous team because of the weapons it has offensively," Lady Bisons coach Jon Ireland said. "We have to be sure we are ready for that challenge. We are excited about it."
The Lady Bisons are 1-1, losing 1-0 Monday night at Austin Peay. The Skyhawks are 0-1-1. Their last outing was 2-2 tie at Arkansas State. Both goals were scored by junior Rosaelia Loza, a transfer from Louisburg College in North Carolina.
Putting enough healthy players on the field remains a problem for the Lady Bisons at the start of the season. Ireland is hopeful that he will have at least two reserves available.
"We are trying to manage the girls well throughout the week," Ireland said. "We are going very light in practice. We are making sure they are eating right and drinking the right things.
"We are giving them a lot of rest. We want to make sure they have their legs back for Friday night. The most important thing in practice is getting their energy back."
The Lady Bisons are home again Sunday afternoon at 2 when Jackson State visits. The Lady Bisons will hold a free soccer clinic following the game.
"We are throwing everything into Friday night's game," Ireland said. "We are not even talking about Sunday or worrying how many people we will have available.
"We are no better off with our injury situations. Depth and numbers will continue to be a problem for us."

What's up with the racist jokes?
After Octavia Spencer's win for "The Help," host Billy Crystal said of the movie, "When I saw it, when I came out of 'The Help,' I wanted to hug the first black woman I saw, which from Beverly Hills is about a 45-minute drive."And in the the opening movie montage, there was a "cameo" by Sammy Davis Jr. that we're pretty sure was Crystal in blackface.It's just all ... kind of weird. And not particularly funny. Though really, Crystal hasn't been that funny overall. -- Andrea Reiher, Zap2it
