it was interestingly funny how helen being the only person to immediately recognize raki right off the bat. xD we all know she secretly likes him.
ah! we'll finally see how tall raki really is! seeing how he was towering over that chibi clare lookalike. lol

Yeah, I'd like to see the Claymore women's reaction to a more respectable Raki now. Or should I say our 'hero'?
I think I would be rolling around laughing if one of them falls for him or something.

Wasn't it Helen who suggested Claire keeps Raki around as a sex toy?
I mean, this is not something Yagi has explored really, but in my imagination, Helen is a sexual deviant whose surprised expression in this chapter will quickly turned to daydream fantasies that fuel her 'alone' time. All occurring 'off page', of course.

Then she can join Roxanne in AB hell and they can enjoy each others company for all eternity , when the rest of use can hopefully enjoy better written characters for the rest of the series (after Cassandra arrives Miata will say "I smell something stinky" mark my words )
Seriously I'm just glad all that Cassandra poo talk is over. Lets recap her story Dae says she's the strongest, The three loser new gen warriors say no she's the weakest, Roxanne says no she's just the most dodgy, Backstory says no she's just been treated meanly, [awakens] now just a single minded ab who love/hates poo*, oh she exited stage left for no clear reason. Amazing character
*sorry but I refuse to say S*** since of how overused it was these last few chapters, so I'm saying poo from now on instead

I wonder if the muttering was intentional though. We see "Priscilla" mutter something and Miria can't hear it, then Cassandra does the same thing and wanders off. It makes me wonder if that projection also influenced her as well, and she didn't leave with purpose so much as wander off in a strange mental state. Still, I doubt we'll see her again. You never know.
Either way...thank god this arc is over. Now we can (hopefully) get back to Clare and the real Priscilla, and all of the loose threads this arc took way too long to build up. The only thing I'm curious about now in regards to the current arc is what Dae, Rubel, and the remnants of the Org will do now that they're sitting on a pile of rubble and depleted of resources.
Also, I wonder if Hysteria was telling the truth about Teresa, or if that was Priscilla's memories blurring with hers.

Great point about Priscilla being only able to say "..." in her yoki astroprojection form. I was debating the meaning of that myself but was still dancing thought about it in my head. In either case it seems clear for some reason she wasn't able to communal verbally but I'm wondering if she was able to communicate in some other form, maybe her words weren't even meant for Miria but Cassandra whom might share an empathetic link with Priscilla now. It looked like she was about to attack Miria but what if she was just pointing where to go to Cassandra.
Anyways something to ponder on.
Also you hit the other nail on the head... there's bound to be catching up on each others past next chapter (or soon enough) but what transpires between Dae, Rubel, and/or Miria is the real thing of import. What happens to the org is also important but for the most part they are already out of the picture. Still a cornered animal could lash out and/or give more info on the dragons if Miria questions them about it, in hopes of Miria sparing them.
As to Hysteria I suspect the truth... I see no reason/benefit to lie then and Hysteria's yoki change to Priscilla's had a physical indicator of when it happened, which was after she starting talking about her dying battle.

Hmm, directions? If the new Awakened were made of Priscilla's flesh, could that mean they could be subconsciously compelled to find her? I guess that goes back to the question of how much they were influenced by Priscilla's flesh to begin with though. =\
As for the Org, the way Miria described it this was basically just a test lab on an island. So this might be destroyed but there's no discounting reinforcements or a backup facility somewhere. Although, I'm kind of hoping we don't see anything more from the Org/DoD for now....it's well overdue to resolve the Blob problem.
You're probably right about Hysteria, although that would suggest an extremely small generational gap. We knew Teresa was exceptional and rose through the ranks ridiculously fast, but that's crazy if you think about it. Roxanne and Cassandra were both the same generation, but I think it was after Hysteria's time. It would be nice if Yagi had maybe made the generations a bit easier to put into a time frame.

Personally I'm assuming Luciela and Raphaela where from after Roxanne and Cassandra's time but before Hysteria's time... since there is just too many plot holes if Luciela was the #1 after Hysteria but not Rosemary since Teresa was already a warrior when she fought Hysteria, so she couldn't be the trainee that meet Raphaela after she was already promoted which we clearly saw was fact. Plus if Luciela was from before Cassandra and Roxanne's time then the org waited far too long looking for the more suitable candidate than was implied after Luciela just awakened... after all how many generations could a massive island with a good sized population go without at least one set of twin girls being born (I highly doubt 2 warrior generation, hell I doubt even a few years).
Next off Roxanne, whom had her memories, didn't seem to realize whom Hysteria was after her technique was revealed greatly implying she died before The Elegant Hysteria became known for her trademark technique. So saying Hysteria came after is a safe bet once again, since clearly if Cassandra and Roxanne where warriors after her they could have only fit in the small time gap beteen Hysteria and Rosemary... in which case Roxanne and Cassandra would have fought Hysteria.
So imho it is:
Isley -> Riful -> unstated generations -> Cassandra -> Roxanne -> unstated generations -> Luciela -> unstated generation(s) or none -> Hysteria (Hysteria being attacked so quickly by the org and with such force for only being near awakening makes sense here since there was already three AOs and the org knew a war would happen if a 4th came about) -> maybe one generation at best or none here -> Rosemary -> Teresa -> Alicia
Edit: Damn Luciela and Raphaela where older than I thought I was always assuming it was Luciela -> Rosemary -> Teresa -> Alicia up until this chapter.

Nassau County
Nassau County is in New York state, USA.
Nassau County is generally divided into North Shore and South Shore. The North Shore is known for its hilly roads and rocky beaches. In comparison, the South Shore of the County is flat and contains sandy beaches. The Long Island Sound splits the North Shore of Nassau County from Connecticut while the South Shore leads to the Atlantic Ocean
Other destinations[edit]
Nassau County is the second largest county by square mile on Long Island (Suffolk being the largest by far). It is sandwiched between Suffolk County and Queens County. The County Seat is in Mineola. Nassau County also has several beaches, including Jones Beach and Long Beach. You can also visit the downtown areas of each village. There are typically many shops and sometimes even restaurants in those areas.
English is the main language. Hempstead, Uniondale, New Cassel, Westbury and Freeport have large Spanish-speaking populations.
Get in[edit]
Take the Long Island Railroad, NICE bus (formerly Long Island Bus), or drive in via the Long Island Expressway, Northern State Parkway, Southern State Parkway, or Sunrise Highway.
Get around[edit]
Getting around is very easy by car, especially with the presence of the Long Island Expressway (commonly referred to as the LIE in the area) and several other parkways. There are also NICE buses. See nicebus.com for more information.

Do[edit][add listing]
Eat[edit][add listing]
All American Hamburger Drive-In in Massapequa is a vintage, 1950's-style burger joint.[2]
Drink[edit][add listing]
Stay safe[edit]
Nassau County is in general a safe place to visit. As anywhere, just use basic common sense; this is the average suburban county. Crimes, if any, usually occur in Hempstead, Freeport, Roosevelt, Uniondale, New Cassel/Westbury and Elmont. The Island Trees/Plainedge area of Levittown has seen an increase in crime lately, as well as the western part of Hicksville south of Cantiague Park. Gang violence is rampant in New Cassel, Hempstead, Uniondale, Roosevelt and Freeport. The only safe areas of Hempstead are west of Cathedral Ave, north of Hempstead Tpke and east of Westbury Rd, north of Hempstead Tpke. Uniondale and Roosevelt are safe in the daylight, but be extra careful at night. New Cassel is relatively safe during the day but very dangerous at night. Freeport south of Sunrise Hwy is very safe.

When attending a funeral, you may have been given a memorial program with a picture on the front, and inside, a verse and the name of the deceased along with his or her birth and death dates, and related funeral information. This is our modern day equivalent to the mourning card.
|Correct Mourning Attire
|Mourning Card with Photo
Mourning cards became popular during the early 1800s. Victorian mourning customs were comprised of rituals and strict rules of etiquette. The symbols of mourning were carefully observed, and were used to denote the social standing of the family. But those of poorer means still tried to "keep up with the gentry" when it came to mourning and funeral rituals, regardless of the cost.
Funeral invitations were used during the 17th and 18th centuries. The cards were sent to notify family and friends when the funeral was to be held. These invitations were very important socially. A funeral invitation could actually be used like a ticket, to gain admittance to a funeral, especially if it were for someone important or well known.
|Funeral Invitation
The funeral invitation was wood engraved, and featured the typical symbols of death found on tombstones: the hourglass, Father Time, the Grim Reaper, or crossed bones. Wealthier families might provide copper-engraved funeral invitations. The invitation also contained details about the departed, along with the time, date, and location of the funeral.
|Attending a Funeral
By the Victorian era (1830 - 1901), the funeral invitation was no longer popular. Instead, small mourning or memorial cards were sent out after the funeral, usually to those who could not attend. Information about the funeral might also be included.
Most mourning cards were 3 by 4.5 inches, constructed from heavy card-stock, and made up of intricate, formal designs that were cut and embossed. Symbolism was very popular during the Victorian Era, and again, those gravestone symbols could be found decorating mourning cards.
|Two Babies After Death
A heavy black border usually framed the card, which included the birth and death dates. Other pertinent information about the deceased might be listed, along with a prayer, poem, or sentimental words of remembrance. If the deceased were a child or young adult, many times a photo, usually taken after death, would be used.
Those with wealth might opt for a larger mourning card, measuring about 4 by 6 inches, and lettered in gold, or embossed with intricate artwork.
But regardless of size, it was expected that the mourning card would be saved and placed in an album, or hung in a frame as a keepsake. Mourning cards belonging to family members might also contain a lock of the deceased's hair, or a button from a uniform. These items would be included in the framed presentation.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the memorial card had been folded, with a scene on the front, and the deceased's name and information printed inside. As this type of card became popular, all four sides contained information about the deceased, and included poems, photos, and artwork.
Today, memorial cards come in a vast variety of choices: religious, landscapes, hobbies, sports … Poems and remembrances can be selected from thousands that are available, or a personal remembrance can be written. Cards may be given out at the visitation, vigil, or wake, or be presented at the funeral or memorial service.
Today's memorial items also include bookmarks, key rings, memorial car magnets, and memory books. Funeral homes may offer these remembrances, but the family can elect to have them printed at a local printing shop, order over the internet, or create them at home on the computer.
Call them mourning cards or memorial cards; these keepsake remembrances are part of a funeral custom we continue to practice - a traditional way in which we offer a lasting tribute to those we love.

For this month's Fresh from the Oven challenge Wendy of Notes from the Quirky Kitchen got us baking Chelsea Buns. Most of FFO members are English natives and everybody was familiar with these buns. Apparently this is something they teach the kids in the UK during the school cookery lessons and everybody from our baking group seems to have warm memories from that time. But we are Bulgarian guys and during our cookery lessons we were taught how to make things like tarator (a cold soup of yoghurt, cucumber, dill and garlic), so we haven't even heard about Chelsea buns. Actually I don't think we have some kind of sweet buns here. We have a few varieties of savoury ones but I can't remember of a sweet type.
After googling it we found that the perfect chelsea bun must to be rolled into a square spiral shape, although I'm not sure if we managed to do this right. No matter how square we tried to shape them they looked quite rounded, but whatever, they were still pretty good and finger licking. Of course we skipped the traditional glaze(as it's not our type of thing) and instead we glazed those buns with translucent quince jelly for keeping them shiny and served them with a puree of poached quinces. I know, I know, we've ruined the whole British classic, but it's really worth to try it.
Chelsea Buns Recipe:
- 225gr strong white bread flour;
- 25gr caster sugar;
- 1/4 tsp salt (4 gr);
- 25gr softened butter - this is for the dough;
- 1 1/2 tsp fast action dried yeast (2 gr);
- 1 medium egg, beaten;
- 90ml warm semi-skimmed milk;
- zest of one lemon;
- 25gr butter really softened, but not melted - this is for the filling;
- 65gr light muscovado sugar;
- 115gr dried fruits (we used a mix of dry raisins, apricots, chokeberries and cranberries).
Knead until smooth. Cover and prove until doubled in size.
Generously butter and line a 7" square tin.
Flour your work surface, and roll out the dough to a rectangle measuring about 12 x 9 inches. If you get the edges as square as you can it will help to make your buns look even.
Spread the softened butter as evenly as you can over the dough. Sprinkle the sugar and the dried fruits on top, and gently press it into the butter.
Now, roll up the dough along the long edge, as though you were making a Swiss Roll. Seal the edge. Turn the roll over so that the seal is underneath and divide the roll into 9 equal buns.
Place the buns, cut side down, into the buttered and lined tin, and leave to prove until the dough has doubled in size, and they have all joined together into one big Chelsea bun muddle.
Bake in a preheated to 180 C oven, for about 20 - 25 minutes. Once cooked, cool on a wire rack, and eat them as soon as you dare.

If you follow local politics, by now you've probably heard about the heat that Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley took for bucking the Queens County Democratic Party's wishes and running in the 6th Congressional District Primary against party-backed candidate Grace Meng.
A Democrat choosing to run against the party-backed candidate is nothing new, even with the power that the party wields in the smoky backrooms of Queens. Heck, in the same primary Democrat Rory Lancman did the same thing as Crowley, but was far less criticized for it.
Crowley's decision was much more scrutinized becuase her cousin, Congressman Joseph Crowley, is the head of the Queens County organization. What does that say about the validity of your candidacy if your own cousin won't even support you?
But that little familial pickle is nothing compared to the difficult position the councilwoman now finds herself in.
At last week's Queens Community Board 5 meeting, the board discussed a Department of Transportation proposal to change a local street into a one-way as part of a traffic-calming measure. Now, if you've ever been a part of a debate on changing traffic patterns in a neighborhood, you know that everyone has their own opinion,.
This proposal is no different.
However, it just so happens that some members of Crowley's large family – she is the youngest of 14 siblings – live in the area and would be affected by the change. And it just so happens that one of Crowley's sisters supports the change, and another sister is against it.
What to do, what to do?
Stuck in the middle, Crowley suggested putting in a speed bump o the street, which would slow traffic, which one sister wants, without diverting traffic to other neighborhood streets, which is what the other sister is worried about. Now, that's some wily political maneuvering!
How did the Queens Democrats not support her?

by Punchy » Fri May 10, 2013 10:29 amGiven my well-documented problems with Jonathan Hickman and his propensity for overly pompous drip-fed meta-plots, it should come as no surprise that when he delivers a smaller-scale, more character-focussed issue, I'll like it a lot more than when he goes all 'architecture of human morality' on our collective asses. This issue makes the best use so far of the expanded roster and smaller mission crews within that roster by sending a select few Avengers to Asia to investigate an AIM auction, and by giving each of them a chance to shine.
First off, you've got Captain Marvel, who plays Poker with the AIM chief in some very well-written scenes that are filled with tension. Then there's Sunspot and Cannonball, who instead of fighting AIM, get drunk with them and make friends with them, whilst at the same time finding out crucial intel. I loved this stuff with the former New Mutants, it fit their role as younger, more laid-back characters and also was something you weren't expecting. Not unexpected however was how Black Widow dealt with the various crime-lords she and Spider-Woman were dealing with, she shot them all in the head point-blank. It was hardcore and it was awesome, I really like Hickman's take on Black Widow in this book, she is one deadly motherfucker.
Then, last but not least, you have Shang-Chi, who gets into a kung-fu battle with a new group of evil Ninjas, the Chimera. I've always been a big fan of the idea of Shang-Chi, but never really read anything about him that lived up to how cool he could be. That Ellis/Aja issue of Secret Avengers was kind of like that, but I think Hickman could be on to something with the Master Of Kung-Fu. His narration was very interesting, as I can take a bit of Hickman pontificating coming from a Zen Warrior, and I also like how he's moved on to using weapons, he's no longer just the Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu, he has nunchuks too! Electric nunchuks!
So yeah, this was probably my favourite issue of Hickman's run so far, yes it is part of his big plan, but it worked as a standalone story and it also had actual character stuff, which is cool, I like it when the heroes aren't just cogs in some big cosmic plan, but seem like actual people. Throw in some very good artwork from Mike Deodato, and you've got yourself a winner. If you've been wavering on this Avengers series, this may turn you around.

by Amoebas » Fri May 10, 2013 2:51 pmFrankly, I detest what Hickman has done with Natasha. She's... she's.... the only word I can come up with right now is psycho evil.
Hawkeye once found himself on trial by the Avengers for accidently killing Egghead. And now Black Widow flat out kills four or five people???
These are supposed to be the Avengers - Earth's Mightiest Heroes, not Earth's Mightiest Murderers.
by Juan Cena » Fri May 10, 2013 10:19 pm
Someone Quote this, because I seriously want to breach Amoebas' cone of silence here.
You mean do things that an actual spy/secret agent does, like kill actual psycho evil people?
Hickman is brilliant. I wish Hickman or someone like him was writing Legion right now.
by Stephen Day » Fri May 10, 2013 11:06 pm
Except she's not acting as a spy here, but as an Avenger. Sure she's killed when she's been acting as a spy, but never when she's been in the role as an Avenger. In the second role she has always been shown to respect the code that Avengers don't kill. Seeing her casually kill people with none of the other Avengers even saying anything isn't consistent with past portrayals of her or the other characters present in any way, shape, or form.
by Keb » Fri May 10, 2013 11:14 pmNot gonna violate the tos but I will agree. I think he's definitely setting the stage for a great divide between avengers.
Widow has killed in other comics, particularly in the Richard K. Morgan minis. Not a surprise to see.
by Keb » Fri May 10, 2013 11:28 pmAlso gonna say that to all you old "these aren't my avengers wahwahwah" peeps, part of what Hickman has been doing here and did in the F4 story is show that heroes in Marvel comics (or just superhero comics since watchmen) don't always make the morally sound choices when it comes to stopping baddies. Like in Avengers 8 when Cap orders they contain Starbrand by beating the crap out of him, or in this case where Widow handles a covert infiltration operation like a covert infiltration operation and kills people. Its part of where we've come to in superhero storytelling nowadays. There needs to be a connection to the everyday and one way is to reflect the way humans take seemingly immoral or untowards actions to contain a threat. We saw it in the very first story of Hickman's F4 with the Reed Richards gang. Its just a matter of how you approach it. If you read anything by Hickman especially his creator owned stuff, you know that he wants his readers to think. You can't really just expect mindless entertainment with this title because there is a lot of thought going in to each issue.
by Juan Cena » Fri May 10, 2013 11:53 pm
That was of course in the Pre-9-11 "comics are for kiddies" days, when that kind of "no-killing" stuff was as much for getting the Comics Code seal of approval as it was for any kind of holier-than-thou superhero sanctity of life.
I'm just gonna assume that all those mass-murders surrounding Spider-Woman were either trying to do something or about to try to do something bad with her.
by Stephen Day » Fri May 10, 2013 11:56 pm
To me it's not a "these aren't my Avengers." If there had been some sort of explanation for why Natasha suddenly decided to act differently than she has in the past I'd have no problem with it. That's the problem though -- there wasn't one. Yes she's killed, but she's also always, up until now at least, avoided killing when acting as an Avenger. I could care less what Natasha did in panel two of page ten in Avengers #165. I do care about a character acting in ways they haven't before with no explanation for the sudden change.
by Stephen Day » Fri May 10, 2013 11:59 pm
Well, Spider-Woman shouting, "Unnecessary!" would suggest that that assumption may not be a safe one to make.
by Juan Cena » Sat May 11, 2013 12:21 am
Seeing as they were mass-murders/terrorists, I'm really not gonna lose too much sleep over it.
Also, I'm going to assume that Widow receiving a attache case from that courier with a gun in it was pretty much implying that she was under orders from SHIELD to kill them.
In a lot of ways, this story was about adaptation to the times. You have Shang-Chi using a weapon, you have Widow killing the killers. You have Sam and Bobby partying with the A.I.M. flunkies instead of fighting them, etc.
by Stephen Day » Sat May 11, 2013 12:24 am
If that turns out to be the case then there will be an explanation for Natasha's behaviour and then I will then have no problem with it.
by Stephen Day » Sat May 11, 2013 12:28 am
I do have to note that I have no problem with either of these as neither is inconsistent with how those characters have always been portrayed.
by Keb » Sat May 11, 2013 12:41 am
It's Hickman. Explanations take time. Things need to work themselves out.
I did notice that she and Shang Chi both got the same type of case. Don't know if hers also said "resilient" on it though.
by Stephen Day » Sat May 11, 2013 1:02 am
In truth, I am willing to wait for an explanation. I didn't jump into this conversation until Nac's post. He seemed be saying that even if no explanation ever comes Natasha's actions would still be in character. All I was doing was pointing out that I don't believe that to be true.

Nov. 7, 2004
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - For the fourth year in a row MIT was stopped in its quest to capture the NEWMAC Men's Soccer Championship Title, falling to Babson College, 2-1, on Sunday. With the win, Babson receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship Tournament.
The Beavers (15-4-1) got on the scoreboard first, marking the first time an opponent has scored on MIT goalie Morgan Mills in 500 minutes. Babson's Matt Hart sent a through ball to Steve Pagnotta, resulting in a breakaway goal in the 27th minute.
Coming out of halftime, the Engineers' (12-3-1) attack instantly applied pressure on the Beavers defense. Tech found success in the 57th minute when James Zorich's shot off a pass from Christopher Desrochers barely crossed the goal line, tying the game at 1-1. The Beavers posted what proved to be the game-winning goal on an unassisted tally by Derek Losi with 11:57 left in regulation. MIT had several chances to register the equalizer in the final minutes, but Babson's defense was impenetrable.

|Official Title ICMJE
|A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Study to Assess Cardiovascular Outcomes Following Treatment With MK-3102 in Subjects With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
|Brief Summary
|The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiovascular (CV) safety profile of omarigliptin in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The primary hypothesis is that treatment with omarigliptin 25 mg once weekly is non-inferior to treatment with placebo and active comparators across the omarigliptin program with regard to the risk of developing a confirmed event in the primary CV composite endpoint.
|Detailed Description
|The trial was amended to extend the length of the trial in order to meet FDA requirements for the post-approval assessment of cardiovascular (CV) safety. The trial now contains 2 time intervals: Period 1 and Period 2. Period 1 refers to the time interval up to this recent protocol amendment and Period 2, the time interval from this protocol amendment until the end of the study. Participants in Period 1 will be re-consented and continue into Period 2. If required, additional participants will be enrolled in Period 2. Stage 1 refers to the prefiling United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) requirement to rule out a 80% increased CV risk. Stage 2 refers to the US FDA post-marketing requirement to rule out a 30% increased CV risk. The Stage 1 assessment of CV risk occurred during Period 1 and was based on a meta-analysis of major adverse CV events (MACE) and unstable angina across the omarigliptin Phase 2/Phase 3 program. The Stage 2 assessment will be based on MACE in P018 alone including CV events from both Period 1 and Period 2.

A day after being awarded the first NCAA Regional host site in school history, Kansas State learned Monday that it will be joined at Tointon Family Stadium by No. 2-seed Arkansas, third-seeded Bryant and No. 4-seed Wichita State as the entire 64-team bracket was announced on ESPNU.
The top-seeded Wildcats will play host to the Shockers Friday at 2 p.m., in a game that will be televised nationally on ESPNU. Bryant and Arkansas will play later in the evening at 7 p.m.
Games on both Saturday and Sunday will also be played at both 2 p.m., and 7 p.m. If necessary, a second championship game will be played Monday night at 7 p.m. The entire regional will be televised on the ESPN family of networks, including the WatchESPN app and ESPN3.com.
Wichita State, the Missouri Valley Tournament Champion, enters NCAA Regional play with a 39-26 overall record and finished in second place in the MVC regular-season standings with a 15-6 mark. Kansas State and Wichita State will be playing for the third time this year when they meet Friday afternoon as the Wildcats won both games during the home-and-home series. On April 9, in Manhattan, K-State plated five eighth-inning runs to tie the game at six apiece and won in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out passed ball. A week later in Wichita, K-State no-hit the Shockers for 5.2 innings and Jared King hit a three-run homer in the first inning as part of a 4-1 victory.
Wichita State holds a 51-33 all-time record against the Wildcats, but K-State holds a 19-18 edge in games played in Manhattan and has won 12 of the last 18 meetings. Friday's contest will serve as the first matchup between K-State and WSU in the NCAA Tournament.
Arkansas put together a 37-20 overall record and an 18-11 mark in conference play to finish second in the SEC Western Division. The potential match-up against the Razorbacks would be the 48th in school history but the first since 2003 as U of A holds a 29-18 edge. K-State played in the 2010 NCAA Fayetteville Regional but did not meet Arkansas.
After winning its first-ever Northeast Conference championship, Bryant enters regional play with a 44-16-1 overall record and finished first in the NEC regular-season standings at 27-5. The potential meeting with the Bulldogs would be the first in series history.
K-State enters regional play with a 41-17 overall record after finishing with a 16-8 mark in conference action. Kansas State won the Big 12 regular-season title, capturing the school's first conference championship since 1933. Predicted to finish seventh in the preseason coaches' poll, the Wildcats made the biggest jump in the preseason poll by a conference champion in league history.
Tickets for the NCAA Manhattan Regional are now available online at www.k-statesports.com to current baseball season ticket holders, as they are given first opportunity to purchase seating they held during the regular season. To reserve tickets, which also provides the ability to add extra tickets, season ticket holders should log into their online account and select "season renewals."

Even among a crowd of local all-stars like this, Morin is a true standout.
His music includes inspiration from Tin-Pan Alley greats, wonderful chord flourishes and a touch of warm humor that's infectious.
Morin first arrived in San Diego from Minnesota as a toddler in 1947.
"I was a Navy brat," he said. "We lived all around the world and the country for the 1950s and '60s."
He said his inspiration for playing music came in 1959.
"It was at Kwajalein Village Navy Housing in Stockton," he said. "They had a recreation room where sailors would gather on Saturdays to play Hank and Ernest and Lefty songs. I started learning then after buying a pawnshop guitar. Later, Mr. Eddie Gaspar from Pete's band and Scotty's [Cox] dad, Ray Cox, were huge influences in my learning the music of the American popular songs of the first half of the 20th century."
In 1961, the family settled in Imperial Beach, and he almost immediately immersed himself in music and a carreer that is now nearly five decades long.
"I went to Mar Vista Junior and Senior High schools," he said. "I played the ukulele in a group called Pete Auclaire's Polynesian Serenaders in the ninth and tenth grades. They were a five- or six-piece dance band with a floor show of Samoan, Hawaiian and Tahitian music, eight dancing ladies and a 'break band' of three boys to fill out the show. Don Sparks was an 11-year-old prodigy Hawaiian Steel guitarist and my pal, Scotty Cox, and I accompanied him and sang Everly Brother-ly Hawaiian harmonies."
Following this auspicious start, Morin continued in more traditional groups.
His first major appearance occurred in 1962 on a local TV show hosted by Ernie Myers.
"It was with Pete Auclaire in the middle of the night at the Channel 6 TV studio in Tijuana," said Morin. "Pete set his lava-lava on fire while juggling his flaming swords and we three kids did 'The Moon of Manakoora.' We were fabulous," Morin said good-naturedly.
He cites the likes of Johnny Mercer, Oscar Hammerstein, Mary Chapin Carpenter, John Prine and Randy Newman among his songwriting influences, mixing in covers with his own material. "I have a huge bag of antique songs and standards that mostly predate even me. I tell audiences they're going to hear their grandparents' love songs. Of the hundreds of tunes in my repertoire, only about a third are post-WWII vintage."
He's currently working on a set of his favorite local songwriters' tunes to interpret, including tunes by Lindsay White and Veronica May, John Bosley, Candye Kane, Steph Johnson and a dozen other local wordcrafters. "They have some tunes that feel like they came from my heart," Morin said.
He points out that it's all part of the local scenes' wonderful camaraderie.
"I got a chance to talk with the actor/musician John C. Reilly backstage at the Berkley Where Hart Thou concert last month," said Morin. "After an evening of hanging out with a lot of the locals, Mr. Reilly said he'd never seen a group of show people so in love. He said, 'Most companies are hiding in their dressing rooms worrying about their careers while you guys are all over each other with support and love and laughter.' Nice. He nailed it, John C. It's really quite wonderful to share a stage and a musical life experience with so many lovely, clever and gifted people."
Now, nearly 50 years into his life as a musician, Morin is succinct when it comes to his favorite reason for being a musician.
"It's the people who come to listen and laugh and smile with me," he said. "The other night, I played an unamplified show at The La Jolla Athenaeum. At one point in one of my mushy songs, three couples in the front row simultaneously reached for their partner's hand to hold and one lady was letting the tears flow. That's why I do this. I choked up a little myself."
He issued a CD earlier this year entitled "Big Ol' Heart." While he has plans for a new album in the not-too-distant future, Morin said he is content to head out to nightspots in town and play his music.
"I'd love to do some traveling and rambling around," he said. "But mostly, I want to play here in San Diego with my friends and fans and family. They call it 'playing' for good reason. If it begins to be working, I'm out."
• Jeffrey Joe Morin performs at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 20 at Java Joe's, 4976 Newport Ave. All ages. www.javajoessd.com

CONWAY, SC (WMBF) – The City of Conway held it's annual living Christmas displays Thursday evening, attempting to bring more shoppers out to the historic downtown district for some holiday shopping.
"Something like tonight will bring people out and really get them into the spirit," said Debbie Stephens, owner of the successful specialty shop Bodega.
Stephens has run the store on Third Street since 2005, she's seen some stores come and go in the area.
"Sometimes you try things that just don't pan out," she said.
Among the district, several empty storefronts peek out amid the stores decorated for Christmas. Nicole Moore, owner of Gypsy Boutique, says it's less about what wouldn't work in Conway, and more about how the stores that don't make it are run.
"The best advice I can give is have a plan," Moore said.
Younger shoppers say the rustic feel of Conway's downtown has great potential, but haven't yet found a draw that would keep them away from the beach.
"It's so cute, but it just needs something else," said CCU student Kirsten Haines. "You're so close to a college, you could have little restaurants and cafes with college specials."

Monster Mass involves body weight exercises, weight lifting, and high intensity cardiovascular exercise. You should not begin the program if you are severely obese, or if you have a physical condition that makes intense exercise dangerous. In addition, Monster Mass requires you to follow an eating plan and at times restrict the amount of calories you consume. You should not begin this eating plan if you have physical or psychological issues which make fat loss dangerous.
Mike is not a doctor, and his advice is not a substitute for medical advice. Consult your physician before beginning any exercise or nutrition program. See our full FTC Legal Disclaimer for complete detail.

Hey man...it's Mike. And I'm about to tell you about the extreme home muscle building workouts I personally used to put on a lot of size -- and which many of my clients have used to build muscle as well.
But first...I need to WARN you. Monster Mass might NOT be for you!
Because honestly...not everyone has what it takes for Monster Mass. And although my clients and I have gotten some killer muscle building results from these workouts, I wouldn't want you to sign up if the program is too much for you to handle.
Monster Mass workouts are 100% based on my patented "Monster Sets" muscle building technique (watch the video above for details.) They're extremely intense home workouts that are 100% focused on muscle building.
If you are severely obese, or if you are lazy and out of shape you should NOT sign up. I'll be straight up -- if you're an unmotivated girly-man who loves to whine and make excuses, you won't make it through Monster Mass.
Monster Mass IS for you're a skinny or "average" guy who wants to gain muscle. If you're a normal guy who wants to put on size -- and if you're man enough to make it through short, intense workouts -- Monster Mass was designed specifically for you.
If that sounds like you, then I recommend that you give Monster Mass a "test drive" at my risk. Here's how it works...
Click the button below to apply to become a Monster Mass client. If you're accepted, you'll immediately get access to stream or download all your training videos online.
If you get accepted, you can test drive Monster Mass at my risk for a full sixty days. Do all the workouts, watch the nutrition videos, and email my trainers for help as much as you like. See for yourself how Monster Mass can help you build muscle faster than your old routine.
I think you'll love Monster Mass, but if you don't you can return it anytime within 60 days for a 100% money back refund. No hassles, no questions asked.
Monster Mass might be the key to getting the ripped body you've always wanted -- and you're risking nothing, since you only have to pay if Monster Mass gets you the muscular body you've always wanted. Click the button below to see if you qualify to become a Monster Mass client now:
What's up Mike!
Remember I said I would shock you with my before and after pictures when I got huge. Well here it is! I've put on a lot of pure muscle since starting your Monster Mass program, and I'm still growing.
When I was still skinny, my friends and family would laugh at me when every time I told them i was going to blow up and get huge. They all told me there was no way I could put on muscle weight and that I was just wasting my time. After about a year of working out and not seeing much results, I was starting to believe them. The worst thing was, I wanted to get huge so bad and it killed me inside to know that it might never happen.
I'm always searching for ways to put on muscle, until I started training with you. I still remember that first conversation we had about Monster Sets, and how I was screwing up my workouts…man, that really blew my mind. That was really the turning point for me. Ever since then I've been training with you and doing the Monster workout program you gave to me, and I steadily gained a little more muscle each month.
My boys used to laugh at me when I talked about working out, but nobody's laughing anymore. Instead, they're all asking me for workout advice! My chest and back became wide and thick. My worst body parts like my arms and legs are actually now my best. The coolest thing is that my entire body is leaner than before too.
I stayed humble and kept training and eating the way you told me. And today, I'm actually one of the biggest guys in any gym I go to. I feel like there is nothing i can't accomplish.
Mike, you really changed my life with that conversation you had with me -- and by showing me your Monster workouts afterwards. Thank you so much man!
Hey Mike,
I'm Adam, and I want to tell you that you are a workout genius bro. After finishing your program, i swear no one can even recognize me. I could see muscles on me that I never knew I had. Here's the crazy thing, I feel like i'm growing with every workout, and i'm even getting ripped!
Mike bro, now that I'm more jacked, i get so much more attention from women. Women are always trying to touch my chest and tell me how nice my arms look. I love it.
Now looking back when I first started Monster Mass, I realize now how bad my form was and what I was doing was totally weak. You guys really showed me what it meant to train intense and how to push beyond my normal limits . Also I couldn't believe how cheap and easy your mass diet was to follow compare to what i was eating before.
Now that I've put on some solid muscle size on and got rid of this thick layer of fat. My new goal is to add another inch to my arms. I'm going to follow your special advanced tips' videos and get even more jacked.
Dude you rock man!
-Adam A. 24 Orlando, FL
The amount of muscle I got with those Monster workouts you showed me was mindblowing! Everyone is always complimenting on how huge my arms, and chest look.
Man, I was sick of being the smallest guy out of all my friends. And i feel silly now looking back at what i did before to try to gain muscle. I took every kind of supplements I saw in muscle magazines and worked out like a maniac everyday. Once I started following your Monster training methods, in just a few weeks my shoulder got wider, my chest blew up and I even got leaner.
I'm so glad you showed me the Monster workout system man, you really showed me the right way to build muscle, how to eat for mass and most of all believing in myself.
You've helped me so much and really opened me up to a new way of life.
I'll keep you update with my progress, Pretty soon I'll catch up to you! haha
You know really, I wasn't thinking about much about my body when I first started this program. I was just a typical newbie trying to stay in good shape to get chicks. I really had no clue what I was doing. I was online one day and saw your Monster Mass program. You seemed like you knew what you were talking about and it all sounded pretty cool so just I bought it. Didn't really expect much, just thought I would get a decent workout.
Over the course of a couple of months, I started putting on crazy amounts of muscle and I had this freak strength that came out of nowhere. It was awesome man. I've always thought it was weird why guys would want to get so big but now I know. I immediately fell in love with this Monster Mass program and this whole workout thing.
Want to hear something crazy? People though I was a fitness model. Little did they know, just 2 months ago I didn't even know how to do a squat. haha
Your program is so simple. I just trained the way you tell me to, eat exactly what you say to eat, and I could actually see myself growing bigger everyday.
Now when I'm training, I do it for myself. I inspire me. I'm no longer working out just to look good for chicks. And the weird thing is chicks still love me. ;)
Yo Mike, you really gave me a new hobby and passion I never knew I would enjoy. You know how some program don't work… well your program works too well!
Thanks dude.
Hi Mike,
About a year ago, my friends posted some pictures of me and i couldn't believe how bad I looked. I've always been thin and had trouble gaining weight. But now, not only am I thin, I'm also fat at the same time. It was right then I knew I had to do something now!
Not knowing any better, I bought a bunch fitness stuff and even got a trainer but never saw any results! I just couldn't figure out why.
I was about to quit but I told myself, man remember that picture and how crappy you looked.
I would spend hours everyday studying about fitness programs online, and thats when I found your website for Monster Mass Training. To be honest, i was very impressed. And I was so shocked to see that you gave your clients a no question asked money back guarantee, that's what really caught my eye.
I felt like everything you said really made a lot of sense and also with the guarantee, I told myself, "why not?".
So I watched the easy to follow introduction and started the program. After doing the program for just a short period of time, My upper body felt like it doubled in size! It was unbelievable.
Towards the end of the program, I transformed my body in something i can be proud of and show off. And mike, the amazing thing I surpassed muscle and fitness goals before I got done with the program.
My whole body is so different from before, I must of became three times stronger than when I first started working out.
Mike, i couldn't have done this without your program and your personalized email support along the way.
Anyone could get results with your program. I've even got a couple of my buddies to start doing this too.
Keep up the good work Mike! And thanks again.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM MIKE: All of these stories are from real guys who transformed their bodies with Monster Mass. These stories should inspire you, and show you what's possible with the program. However, these testimonials are from some of my best and most motivated clients and are not claimed to represent average or typical results from the program.
Please also see my full FTC Legal disclaimer for full details on testimonials, typical results, risks, and other legal disclosures.
Monster Mass is based on a revolutionary new exercise technique called Monster Sets. The scientific name for Monster Sets is "agonist-antagonist supersets," and they consist of two sets of exercises done at maximum intensity back to back for opposing muscle groups
The main reason why I train with Monster Sets is that they are designed to create a greater muscular "pump" -- or bloodflow to your muscles -- from your workout. And some scientific evidence suggests that workouts that create a greater muscular "pump" may lead to faster muscle growth.
In the video above, I show you the scientific evidence that supports training with Monster Sets, and I show you an actual demonstration of a maximum intensity Monster Set being done live. If you haven't see it yet, watch that video now to learn how you can start using Monster Sets in your workouts.
In addition to creating a greater "pump," Monster Sets have another key benefit -- they allow you to do shorter workouts! Because you are doing two sets back to back, you will be doing twice as many sets compared to a guy working out with regular sets alone in the same amount of time. This means that you can get a killer muscle building workout in just 30-45 minutes when you're using Monster Sets. I give you more details on how you can do this in the video above.
However -- because Monster Sets are extremely intense, it's important that your workout program is properly designed if you want to use them. Since you'll be working out two major muscle groups on the same day, you need to be doing the right exercises in the right combinations to ensure that you don't interfere with your muscles' recovery
I've carefully designed Monster Mass based on the research and based on my years of experience training clients to help you maximize the benefits of Monster Sets.
As a trainer, I've also found that one major reason why many of my clients don't consistently work out is that they don't want to go to a gym. And I can't say I blame them -- going to a gym is expensive, and driving there and back is a waste of time. On top of that, beginners always have to worry about people watching them and judging them...which makes your workouts way more stressful than they have to be.
This is why I designed Monster Mass to be done from HOME with very simple equipment. You won't have to drive back and forth to the gym, and you won't have to worry about how you look to the other people there. You just train along with me with the video, and you'll be free to focus 100% on your workout.
And if it helps you work out more consistently, that means you will build more muscle.
And finally, it's important to remember that working out is only one piece of the picture when it comes to gaining muscle. While you can gain some muscle through working out alone, you'll get far better results if you also have the right diet, supplementation, mindset, and coaching.
And because I want Monster Mass to be a complete muscle building system...I include four free bonuses when you sign up for Monster Mass -- one that covers each of these key aspects of muscle building. I explain exactly what these free bonus products are, and how they will help you build muscle in the video above -- watch it now if you haven't already.
Monster Mass has one goal -- to help you build muscle as fast as possible! Very few other home workout courses have muscle building as their main goal. If one of your fitness goals is to build muscle, then Monster Mass is a must-have resource for you.
Other than the warm-up and cool-down, Monster Mass workouts consist of 100% Monster Sets! Where else, almost every other workout program is based on what's called "regular sets." Watch the video above to see why I believe that using Monster Sets in your workouts is a significant advantage if you want to build muscle.
Watch the video above to see footage of full intensity Monster Sets from the actual Monster Mass workouts!
With Monster Mass, you will be doing the workouts live along with me! Most workout courses just give you some vague diagrams and text descriptions...and leave you on your own to figure out the exercises. With Monster Mass, you'll be following along with me and my crew in the video, so I can show you exactly how to do each exercise as we go. I can also coach and motivate you as you work out, which will help you to push harder in your workouts than you ever have before.
Monster Mass only requires very simple equipment and can be done from home. You can get started with just a set of dumbbells, a set of resistance bands, and an exercise ball. You can see the full list of required and optional equipment for the program, as well as links to purchase all equipment cheaply from Amazon.com on this page.
And finally, Monster Mass is not just a workout course. When you sign up for Monster Mass, you also receive the following bonuses included free with your purchase:
As you can see, Monster Mass is NOT just a workout program. It's a complete system that covers all key aspects of muscle building -- workouts, nutrition, mindset, and coaching.
8 extreme home muscle building workouts designed to build muscle fast.
Designed to maximize the muscular "pump" from your workout with Monster Sets
Includes 8 full length workouts and Monster Mass quick-start instructional video
I do the workouts live on video along with you -- coaching, motivating, and pushing you to work harder the whole time.
Requires only simple equipment, and you can easily learn all exercises in the program the first workout since I show you the technique live on video.
You'll receive instant online access to your videos on the Monster Mass clients' site. That means that you'll be able to stream your videos within minutes of signing up, and you'll also be able to download high definition copies of the videos permanently to your hard drive.

I also show you the five most common diet mistakes guys make when trying to gain muscle -- and exactly how to avoid each so you can pack on size.
You also get my Monster Mass Recipe Guide along with Monster Mass. It gives you step by step directions on how to prepare my five favorite mass gaining meals. I also show you a "formula" I use for making healthy meals, that you can use to create your own meal recipes.
And finally, I show you the specific foods I eat the most when I'm bulking. I also show you how to cook your mass gaining meals quickly and easily -- and when you should be eating throughout the day.
Teaches you high level muscle building strategies used by pro bodybuilders and fitness models.
Gives you 15 exercise and nutrition rules to follow, which will greatly simplify the process of building muscle.
Shows you the most important, highest leverage habits that you must develop if you want to gain size fast.
Shows you how to optimize factors OUTSIDE your workouts and nutrition for the fastest muscle building. This includes sleeping, supplementation, social influences, drinking alcohol, and other lifestyle factors that affect your muscle gains you may not even know about right now.
You'll receive a new video every week showing you ADVANCED strategies for building muscle and getting ripped. I build on the basics you learn in Monster Mass, and show you high-level exercise and nutrition techniques used by pro athletes and fitness models.
Every episode will show a unique technique that you can start using right away to take your body to the next level. I also post the new episodes online every week.
Advanced Fitness Coaching will help you to get the body you want faster using Monster Mass. And on top of that, you'll learn advanced fitness strategies most guys will never know about...and you'll get the coaching and support you need to ensure you hit your goals. Because I think Advanced Fitness Coaching membership is so important for you to have, I'm giving you a 14 day membership included free when you sign up for Monster Mass. Apply what you learn in the program, and use the advanced fitness coaching videos.
If it helps you out, then great! You don't have to do anything, and you'll continue to receive a new video every week for just $67/month for the next five months.
And if it's not for you, no worries. You can easily cancel your membership with two clicks on my clients' site, or by dropping me a call or email. And if you cancel before your 14 free days are up, you won't be charged a dime.
I think you'll LOVE Advanced Fitness Coaching though.. which is why I'm giving you 14 days free membership with Monster Mass.
The regular price for Monster Mass is $197. I've asked my clients, and most of them agree this price is a bargain compared to the value of the course.
After all, with Monster Mass you'll be getting the equivalent of 10 HOURS of personal training with one of the top muscle building coaches in the world. You'll also be getting free bonuses which would cost you over $400 if you have bought them separately.
So even at the regular price ($197) you are getting a BARGAIN when you sign up for Monster Mass.
BUT...I recognize that even though Monster Mass is a bargain at the regular price, not everybody can afford to make that type of investment right now. Especially since I have many clients living in countries where $197 is a week's wages or more, and I want them to be able to get the benefits of Monster Mass as well.
So for a limited time, I'm offering a 50% discount on Monster Mass. You'll pay just $97 -- that's less than HALF the regular price.
Click the button below NOW to apply for Monster Mass, and take the first step towards your new muscular body:
I know that Monster Mass is the program you need to get the ripped, muscular body you've always wanted. But I want you to be 100% confident you're making the right decision when you apply...so I'm going to give you a guarantee that's a little bit CRAZY.
If you're accepted to Monster Mass, I'll let you test-drive the entire program for 60 days at MY RISK. Do the workouts, start following the eating system, and try out the Afterburn Fuel.
I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied with the program, and that it'll help you get the body you've always wanted. And if it doesn't, you can return the program and get 100% of your money back anytime within 60 days (minus shipping & handling). No hassles, no questions asked.
I can afford to offer an unconditional satisfaction guarantee like this because almost all of my clients love Monster Mass, and decide to keep the program. But I'd like to offer you this guarantee so that you can feel 100% confident you're making the right decision by signing up.
As your trainer, I recommend that you apply to become a Monster Mass client NOW, before all the discount spots are taken. You have nothing to lose since you only have to pay for the program if it gets you results...and it might be the key to getting the muscular body you've always wanted.
And I KNOW you'll be kicking yourself if you get locked out of the program...and when you have to pay the full price when we eventually re-open.
Click the button below to apply for Monster Mass, and to claim your discount spot before they're all gone:
Fill out the form at the bottom of this page to apply for Monster Mass. Your information will be instantly processed through our Client Acceptance Algorithm, and you'll know whether you qualify in seconds.
If you qualify, you'll be sent to a secure page which allows you to get access to the program. You'll fill in a few simple payment details, then you'll click the "Claim My Spot Now" button to lock down your discount copy of Monster Mass.
You'll receive instant access to stream or download your training videos online immediately after you sign up. You'll receive a username and password to log into my clients site right away, and your login details will also be emailed to you. From my clients site, it's simple to stream or download any of your videos from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.
Once you do the first workout, you'll KNOW that Monster Mass is for real. You'll feel how much more intense it is than a normal muscle building workout, and how it exhaust you completely in just 30-45 minutes. You'll also feel the additional muscular "pump" generated by the Monster Sets, and you'll immediately understand what I've been talking about.
If you consistently follow the workout, eating, and supplementation plan you can expect to gain steadily gain a small (but noticeable) amount of muscle each week. After a few months of consistently following the program, your clothes will start to fit differently, and your friends will start to notice you've gotten bigger.
Monster Mass will NOT get you huge overnight -- and there is no workout course that can honestly claim to do that, and please do not sign up if you were expecting a muscle building "magic pill" like this. However, if you consistently follow the plan as I lay it out you can expect to steadily make improvements to your physique every week, which is the key to getting the body you want.
Also as I've said before, the client stories that I shared on this page are meant as a showcase of results from our best, most motivated clients. They are not claimed to represent "average" or "typical" results. Because your results depend on individual factors as well as your workout program (for example, it will be harder to build muscle with Monster Mass if you're a handicapped person) I can't guarantee any individual results from this program.
However, remember that you get an unconditional 60 day money back guarantee with Monster Mass. Try the program out, and see if you like the muscle building results. I know that you will, but if don't remember you can get a 100% refund anytime within 60 days if you're not satisfied with the program for any reason.
If you need any help when following the program, we'll be there for you every step of the way. You can reach my customer support team at firstname.lastname@example.com, or you can call us at 800-655-8576 if you live inside the United States, at 855-520-7596 if you live outside the United States.
So click the button below to apply for Monster Mass. If you're accepted we'll be training together in minutes...and I'll be helping you to get the strong, muscular body that you've always wanted to have.
I'll see you inside!
P.S. -- Remember, there are over 1.1 MILLION subscribers to my YouTube channels and email newsletter that have been waiting for MONTHS to get access to Monster Mass. The 1000 discount copies will go fast...so make sure to grab yours before it's too late.
P.P.S. -- Once the 1000 discount copies are gone, they're gone...and there's no way I can accept any more clients. No exceptions for any reason.

Grae's Rating:
Bread and circuses and laughter.
You and I both know the world is going to hell in a handbasket. I remember hearing my parents say that (usually after I turned on a Metallica album), but this time, it's really true. Being judgmental isn't just for the elderly anymore--it's for everyone who can look at someone talking on the phone during a movie, treating you to an overshare on Facebook, or acting up on reality TV, and see how they all signal Armageddon. Frank (Joel Murray) can see it. Over the years his technicolor world has gone gray, and he just learned he's dying of cancer. He snaps, no longer tolerating being the only person on the planet to have common sense--so he steals a car and loads his gun.
Bobcat Goldthwait, directing yet another hilariously inappropriate film rooted in appropriate points, does it again with a Falling Down-esque tale of two people's revenge on stupidity. With our everyday world getting more ridiculous by the moment, it's awfully hard to pull off satire, but since Goldthwait's ideas ring so true, it also makes it more like a horror movie. There's nothing cute about Frank and his decision to start killing all of the people that symbolize the downfall of today's world. In fact, the movie gets darker and darker the more you think about it. It's a good thing that Goldthwait is showing us his twisted sensibilities on the silver screen instead of on the evening news.
It would be bad enough if Frank worked alone, but he picks up an enthusiastic killing apprentice in the form of teen girl Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr). They find common ground in their hatred of people that use the words "rock star" as an adjective and give high fives, so they travel the country wiping people out. Roxy is the kind of little girl that drops the C-bomb and looks really good in a beret, making it challenging for Frank to be his ideal self and not cross the line. Somehow they have determined that they're the jury, judge, and executioner of high school kids, people in truck stops and whoever else they decide is a blight on society.
There's a certain hilarity ensuing as you cheer on the death of simpering, enabling parents and irresponsible TV pundits, but look closer and you'll see there's more going on here. In Frank and Roxy's Mickey and Mallory Knox killing spree, they complain about the world repeating the mistakes of the Roman Empire. The only problem is that watching this movie and rejoicing in the death of the idiots makes the audience exactly who they're complaining about. I fell deep into the rabbit hole after this one, and eventually ended up convinced that Roxy and Frank are no heroes or martyrs--they're just part of the problem. Nobody's right. Diablo Cody doesn't deserve to die (like they discuss in the film) because she makes it seem like girls all own phones shaped like food. Frank and Roxy aren't any better than her because they talk on normal-shaped phones. They're killers, after all. Who's right? No one. We're all screwed.
Leave it to the guy whose first film was about an alcoholic, womanizing clown to make you question the morality of our world. The only thing we know for sure is that no one will make it out of here alive, and that's an equally upbeat thought as the film, really.

With their reduced bolt head size, it's a lot easier to tighten-up your intake manifold when using ARP "Intake Manifold Bolts". Instead of a 9/16"-bolt head size, these ARP bolts use a 3/8" size bolt head, which allows you to use a smaller wrench and get in those tight spots to snug up the bolts.

Jonny&Bernie needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 76 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
myTC (mytravelcompanions.com)
myTC or mytravelcompanions.com is a global community of over 50's travellers that is free to join. Member's use the site to find travel companions, join travel groups, gain travel advice, and book their perfect trip. With travel diaries & photo albums members can then share their experiences.
We re-launched recently and have 10,000 members and are growing fast. Whilst the internal parts of the site are currently undergoing improvements we need a new home page to impress and attract more users and partners!
Over 50s travellers, but the site must still look relatively young, vibrant and modern and easy to use.
The home page should be based on the attachment below but needs to be much more professional, slick and modern looking. We need to compare with the high quality design appearance of modern popular social networking websites such as twitter.
Please log in as the homepage will need to be in keeping with the rest of the site
The winning design will most likely be the one that appears the most professional whilst also retaining a fun warm, welcoming vibe. It could also be inspiring! - it should use the attached version as a base as this is inkeeping with the rest of the site.
The winning designer may be invited to redesign the rest of the website.
See attachment as an idea and also our current website tho do not worry about the background on the live version as that needs to be changed also (currently it looks too messy).
Also look at our live homepage for the required features.
