Rationale: Enteral nutrition (EN) in the intensive care (ICU) patients is recommended as a standard of care. However, EN alone is often associated with insufficient energy intakes and increased complication rates. Recently the investigators proposed to decrease this deficit by combining EN and supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) whenever EN is insufficient (< 60% of their predicted energy needs) at day 3 after admission in the ICU.
Objective: This study aims at: a/ investigating if the delivery of optimal nutrition support (100 % of predicted energy targets) in ICU patients by the combined administration of SPN and EN optimizes their clinical outcome; b/ implementing the new ICU nutrition guidelines.
Study design: Prospective, controlled, randomized clinical study.
Study site: Service of Intensive Care, Geneva University Hospital.
Patient population: 220 ICU patients to be included: expected length of stay > 5 days, expected survival > 7 days, no contraindication to EN, obtained informed consent from themselves or their next of keen.
Exclusion criteria: refusal of consent, age < 18 years, short bowel syndrome, significant persistent gastrointestinal dysfunction with ileus, high output proximal fistula (> 1,5 liter/d), patients receiving PN.
Nutrition: At day 3 after admission, if energy input is < 60%; patients are randomized into either the "Control group" (EN alone) or the "SPN group" (EN + PN) to reach 100% of their predicted energy needs. Tight glycaemic control (target 6.0 to 8.3 mmol/l) to be achieved according to our local practice by insulin administration.
Study endpoints:
- Primary: nosocomial infections (CDC criteria)
- Secondary: Mechanical ventilation duration, ICU and hospital length of stay, antibiotic free days, ICU complications (extra-renal epuration, neurological, cardiac and respiratory complications), energy and protein balance, 28 days clinical outcome.
|Condition or disease
|Critically Ill
|Dietary Supplement: SPN
|Phase 3
Nutritional support of the intensive care (ICU) patients is recommended as a standard of care. It is also strongly recommended to start enteral feeding as soon as possible whenever the gastrointestinal tract is functioning (1). However, studies have repeatedly shown that with enteral support alone, insufficient energy and protein intakes often occur (2). The resulting energy and protein deficit is associated with an increased complication rate in ICU patients (3-5). Recently we proposed to decrease this deficit by promoting a combined nutrition support by enteral nutrition (EN) and supplemental parenteral nutrition (SPN) whenever EN is insufficient (6).
Contrary to former beliefs, recent meta-analyses show that parenteral nutrition (PN) does not carry excess mortality (7, 8). These reports convey a concept that is a major break-through in current routine of nutritional support in ICU patients by promoting a much wider use of PN. SPN could be the optimal modality to provide the calculated energy targets if this cannot be reached by EN alone. To improve ICU patient's outcome and minimise complications, we propose to implement feeding protocols which combine both EN and PN, when EN is insufficient to cover more than 60% of caloric needs at day 4 to reach 100% of the energy targets by adding PN from day 4 (6).
The administration of SPN, in ICU patients receiving < 60% of targeted energy needs by EN alone, has a positive impact on their clinical outcome by optimising their nutritional support (reduced infectious complications rate, mechanical ventilation days, duration of ICU and hospital length of stay and rehabilitation).
The aim of the present study is to investigate if the delivery of optimal nutrition support (100 % of predicted energy targets) in ICU patients achieved with the combined administration of SPN and EN optimizes their clinical outcome.

Greetings world,
Welcome to Cavaliers: The Blog. It's like the Cavaliers, except it's words on the internet. My name is John Krolik. I'm sheriff of this here neck of the interwebs. My basic information is helpfully labeled in the top-right; for here, I love the Cavaliers, I write, and my email is email@example.com.
In all seriousness, here are the goals for this here site, which I reserve the right not to meet:
-Recap every game possible (I have league pass, but I also have other responsibilities) in a comprehensive and enlightening manner-stuff you hopefully wouldn't just get from reading an AP recap or a box score.
-More than just report pertinent news like injuries or trade rumors or struggles, but try and provide a perspective on them you won't get anywhere else.
-Do our best to provide a subjective but fair spin on the team, somewhere in between major-network sterility (darn you, journalistic standards!), and knee-jerk reactionism (OMGGGGZ HOW COULD U NOT SAY THE CAVS AREN'T BETTER THAN THE JORDAN BULLS MAYBE U SHOULD STOP EAST COAST BIASING AND REALIZE THAT BOOBIE IS DA MAAAAAAN!)
(Sidebar: This is not to suggest that we do not believe Boobie is the man.)
-Give you off-day stories that make you laugh, see something differently, provide you with argument fodder for your friends, and more than anything are just fun to read. Brian (formerly of YAY! Sports NBA and currently of Brian's Thoughts About Airplanes) is even going to be dropping in every now and then, so you know we're going to have a great time.
-To provide a community that can make you feel like you're just outside of the Q even if you're thousands of miles away.
-To avoid using cliches, except when necessary, as it was with the last bullet point.
-To get a banner at some point in the future.
-To make AWESOME CUSTOM T-SHIRTS THAT ARE CAVALIER INSIDE JOKES.
I've spent some time as a journalist. Journalism is great. But for this project here, I'm putting on my creative writing hat to bring you stuff you won't see anywhere else, but more than anything this blog is written by someone who loves this game, loves this team, and knows them both like the back of his hand. Hopefully that'll allow me to tell you some new information, but most of all I want all of us to have a great time. Stick around-it'll be worth your time.

text: JOHANNESBURG - Michael Lumb struck an unbeaten 82 as Sydney Sixers overwhelmed Highveld Lions by 10 wickets with 45 balls to spare Sunday in the Champions League Twenty20 final at the Wanderers.South Africa-born Lumb and Brad Haddin (38 not out) were deceptively cautious for a few overs before giving an exhibition of 20-over batting at its best to reach 124-0 in 12.3 overs after the Lions made a paltry 121 off 20 overs. Lumb enjoyed a moment of luck -- dropped by Gulam Bodi at the boundary when on 17 -- but made the most of it to slam eight fours and five sixes and win the golden bat award for highest scorer in the tournament.The over after Lumb was dropped, skipper Haddin has his lucky escape at the boundary with the fielding culprit this time being Dwaine Pretorius, and from then on it was a question of how quickly Sixers would wrap up the victory. Fittingly, it was a four from Lumb that brought the rout to an end, leaving the Sydney franchise $2.5 million richer while Lions skipper Alviro Petersen collected a $1.3 million cheque. Lions slumped to 9-4 as Sixers surprisingly started with spinners rather than pace men and had middle-order Jean Symes (51) to thank for reaching 121 before a sell-out 25,000 crowd. Haddin, whose 43-Test career is likely to come to a halt on Monday with Matthew Wade expected to be named wicketkeeper for a November home series against South Africa, said using spinners up front was a gamble that paid off."Twenty20 cricket is all about going with your gut feel and it worked this time," he said in tribute to New Zealander Nathan McCullum (3-24) and Steve O'Keefe (1-11). "I captain a great group of guys who proved today that they are a pretty good cricket team.Everyone contributed to this success and our preparations for the final were spot on."Petersen could not pinpoint what went wrong with a team that did so well when defending a low total in Durban last Thursday to win a semi-final against Delhi Daredevils by 22 runs. "I cannot put my finger on it -- perhaps nerves played a part -- but let us give credit to Sixers because they outplayed us in all departments. This tournament was a great experience for us."BRIEF SCORE: Highveld Lions (RSA) 121 (J. Symes 51, D. Pretorius 21, T. Tsolekile 20, S. Tanvir 11; N. McCullum 3-24, J. Hazlewood 3-22) v Sydney Sixers (AUS) 124-0 (M. Lumb 82 no, B. Haddin 38 no)

Well, here they are – a list of my favorite songs of the year.
(The order is based more on mood, not necessarily on preference.)
"Wavlngth" – Headless Horseman, "HDLSS" compilation
Wild, exuberant, and infectious, this song jumped out at me as I was researching the hundreds of unknown bands descending on the city for CMJ in October.
"Whale" – Yellow Ostrich, The Mistress
Listen to the slowly unfolding beat as layers upon layers are piled on top of each other to create an earnest, upbeat diddy that is far more complex than it appears.
"Let England Shake" – PJ Harvey, Let England Shake
A strong intro to a strong album. Harvey proves she's still got it.
"Lose It" – Austra, Feel It Break
Operatic, buoyant, and so much better than Zola Jesus, this is the song that sold me at SXSW. The bit at the end by the Lightman twins (of Tasseomancy) seals the deal.
"Cheerleader" – St. Vincent, Strange Mercy
I know, I know. "Cruel" was the song with the awesome music video. But can I help it? I love the slowly mounting tension this song holds before it erupts into a pounding, staccato chorus.
Det haster! – Casiokids, Aabenbaringen over aaskammen
This song is just a blast. Easy as that. (Now if I could just understand the Norwegian…)
"Heart in Your Heartache" – The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Belong
The album was a disappointment, but this song's got everything that first made me fall in love with the band in 2009. A peppy, poppy masterpiece.
"I'll Drown" – Sóley, We Sink
A veteran of fellow Icelandic artists Seabear, Múm, and Sin Fang, Sóley steps into the spotlight, herself, and the result is charming and magical, even though the lyrics depict heartache.
"Carve a Peach" – His Clancyness
Despite the artist's cringe-worth name, I can't get enough of this song – shimmering, laid back, and lovely.
"Bunhill Fields" – Amor de Días, Street of the Love of Days
Short and sweet, I could listen to this song on repeat for hours.
"Mona Lisa" – Atlas Sound, Parallax
Bradford Cox at his poppy, pitch-perfect best.
"Harsh Realm" – Widowspeak, s/t
Hazy, mesmerizing, and simple.
"Night After Night" – Laura Marling, A Creature I Don't Know
This song consistently makes me cry. Beautiful, tragic, and haunting.
"Holocene" – Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Another one for weeping – honest and breathtaking, a downer that somehow manages to simultaneously exude strength.

CHICAGO – Nine Illinois residents are facing charges of collecting thousands of dollars in fraudulent unemployment benefits.
Attorney General Lisa Madigan and the Illinois Department of Employment Security announced the charges Thursday.
Madigan says the defendants received unemployment benefits while collecting a paycheck. She says prosecuting these cases maintains resources for those who need it most.
The defendants allegedly defrauded a combined $200,000 in benefits between 2009 and 2012. One defendant is said to have been incarcerated while receiving unemployment benefits.
The defendants are charged in Cook, Kane, McHenry, and Winnebago counties. They face felony theft, state benefits fraud, and wire fraud charges.
Officials say the vast majority of workers follow the rules and shouldn't be "muddied" by those who cheat. They say those hurt most are people honestly searching for work.

80s Party Decoration Bright Colorfol Lighted Cassette Tape Centerpiece
Product Info
This rock n roll night light centerpiece made from repurposed cassette tapes is sure to set the mood at your party.
"She's like a rainbow, coming colors in the air, oh, everywhere....she comes in colors"
-Rolling Stones
Light up any room with this totally unique and retro Cassette Tape Night Light Lamp.
8 Upcycled very rare blank cassette tapes and one CD handcrafted into a super fun rockin' retro night light holding 20 battery operated multi-color mini LED lights. The very rare cassette tapes used have nothing printed on them, so it has a very sleek clean look. Most people do not realize the lamp is made from cassette tapes until they look closer or you tell them.
Takes 3 AA batteries.
I take great pride in the construction of my Cassette Tape Lights. The idea came to me last year when someone purchased a Vinyl Record Clock from me for her unborn son's nursery. It was a retro themed nursery and I thought "wow, what could I make out of cassette tapes for a retro themed bedroom, nursery, or even a party?" My first thought "every baby's bedroom needs a night light!!!!" So I got out some of my old cassette tapes from the early 90's and started experimenting. And the Cassette Tape Night Light Lamp was born!

Dear Friends,
This month's reflection comes to us compliments of Carolyn Kennedy. Carolyn is a practising psychotherapist and full time mom. She lives in Whitby, Ontario with her husband Stephen, 3 young sons, and an assortment of animals.
It's been close to three years since I stood in front of Father Laurence and took my novitiate vows at St. Basils in Toronto. Four years since I first laid my tired eyes upon this beautiful Rule and began my daily reflections on its ageless wisdom. Little did I know at the time what this would bring into my life, nor imagine what it would mean to the evolution of my soul.
The first, opening word of the Rule is "Listen" - a simple verb that has caused this oblate an undesirable amount of suffering to be sure!! Not that I suffer from deafness nor from an inability to focus, but more precisely because many of the authority figures I have had in my life could not be trusted to have my best interests at heart.
As a result, much of my teenage and young adult years were spent in a very slow and painfully lonely downward spiral, fuelled largely by feelings of self loathing, worthlessness, and an existential feeling of "not belonging". Add to this recipe a strong will to survive mixed with a dash of stubbornness and a whack of grief, and voila! a tasty melange fit for consumption only by the most manipulative and predatory among us. That being said, it is interesting that I was drawn to a sixth century monastic text, which 1500 years after it was first written could continue to speak to the hearts and minds of people who, if you're anything like me, are terribly sophisticated and savvy (ha).
But those words, oh those first words, "Listen carefully, my son (daughter), to the master's instructions, and attend to them with the ear of your heart". These words jumped off the page at me. I knew intuitively what "the ear of the heart" was. Although I had trouble trusting for good reason, I had tried to turn that around in my own healing by giving to others what was never given to me: to listen to others with a compassionate, attentive and loving heart that could hear their pain and struggles with the WHOLE of their being, not just with their intellect.
Ironically, I have been led in intriguing ways to make a vocation of this "listening". In fact, as I finish my internship as a psychotherapist, you might call me a professional listener. I spend much of my time listening to the dilemmas of everyday people, some traumatic in nature, some sorrowful, some confused, some angry, and some just plain afraid. But whatever the trouble, there is a mystical, magical thing that happens when one human being can open their heart with great love and compassion and hold a silent, safe space for another human being to share their suffering. It is a deeply moving experience - humbling, sacred, profound.
It is through this act of bearing witness to another, without judgement, that the miracle of healing can occur. No amount of book study nor schooling can create it - it is only in the presence of the Love of God through another human being that this depth of healing can occur. Without it, there is little or no transformation. The most delicious paradox of it all, is that as I open myself to be a channel of God's love with my clients, I am healed myself. I can't imagine a more wonderful job to have!
As I continue to study the Rule, and incorporate it more and more into all aspects of my life, I am healing in my ability to trust authority. Benedict's advice is at once practical and creative, gentle and firm, nurturing and strict. Benedict treats each member of his community sensitively as the uniquely individual person that they are. He listens with "the ear of his heart" to these unique needs attentively and thoughtfully, and does his best to serve them with the greater good always in mind. He is a man who has become my spiritual mentor, and someone I would like to emulate in both my professional and private life.
Now if I could just listen with love to the sound of my three boys fighting over the TV channel while the dogs bark at the neighbour's cat and my husband knocks over the flower vase holding my one and only Easter lily.
Congratulations to Bill Tomka and Darrell Tessier who both began their postulancy at our bi-monthly meeting on March 24th here in Ottawa, and also a BIG thanks to Carolyn for her wonderful reflection.
May the spirit of the reality of the Easter mysteries fill us all with joy and hope during this most holy season.
Peace to All,

Washington Poet Reads Thursdayby Jim Amidon • February 7, 2011 Share:
Poet Samuel Green will read from his work in the Korb Family Classroom on Thursday, February 17 at 8:00 p.m. A reception and book signing will follow the reading in Littell Lobby.
Green will also spend time with students in Professor Marc Hudson's poetry class, and will also have individual conferences with those students.
Green was Poet Laureate of Washington State from 2008-2010 and is the author of ten poetry collections, including Vertebrae: Poems 1972-1996 (Eastern Washington University) and The Grace of Necessity (Carnegie Mellon University Press, 2008).
With his wife, Sally Green, he has owned and operated the Brooding Heron Press on remote Waldron Island in Puget Sound for more than 30 years. The press specializes in the publication of fine letterpress editions of poetry.
"Much of Samuel Green's own poetry draws from his life on Waldron, a life lived in a close-knit community and in close contact with the shifting weathers and tides of his island home," said English Professor Marc Hudson. "In his poems, nature is often woven into moments of the community's life—a work-bee tending the island's cemetery, the labor of laying a stone foundation for his house, sharpening a scythe, writing an elegy for a fisherman friend."
Sam Green's work has appeared in scores of literary journals, including Poetry, Poetry Northwest, Southern Poetry Review, Poetry East, and Prairie Schooner.
A 30-year veteran of the Poetry-in-the-Schools program, he has also taught at Southern Utah University, Western Wyoming Community College, and has served five terms as Distinguished Visiting Northwest Writer at Seattle University,, as well as eight summer terms in Ireland for Seattle University. He also received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Poetry. In addition to his work as a printer, publisher, teacher, and poet, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard in Antarctica before transferring to the rivers and harbors of South Vietnam.
Professor Hudson said Green's life on Waldron Island is not at all insular. "It is a place where the poet can listen with a certain care toward both language and the meaning of our human world set against the more permanent forms of nature."
Dr. Hudson said one short meditation on the horrors of 9/11 from Green's recent book, The Grace of Necessity, "enfolds that terrible day within the healing gaze of his observant poems:"
September 14
Light alone can't unlock the mourning.
Everything we see carries
the burden of what we know
until we let it be itself again. Walking
the yard with coffee cooling
in my hand, I stop at a single seed
of hawkbeard balanced
on a blade of grass. Except
for paying attention, what else
is continual prayer?

TACOMA, Wash. – Linfield quarterbacks Mickey Inns and Josh Yoder combined for a school-record 541 passing yards, leading the third-ranked Wildcats to a 47-7 demolition of winless Puget Sound Saturday at Peyton Field.
Rolling up a season-high 692 yards, unbeaten Linfield (8-0, 5-0 NWC) clinched at least a share of a fourth consecutive NWC title and sewed up the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Division III playoffs beginning Nov. 17.
Puget Sound (0-8, 0-5 NWC) was held to 209 yards, including just 58 in the first half.
Linfield receiver Deidre Wiersma caught eight passes for 133 yards and two touchdowns and Charlie Poppen pulled in five passes for 88 yards and one score.
Inns threw for three touchdowns and a career-high 422 yards, 294 coming in the first half. The senior, who threw for two scores in the third quarter, completed 27-of-39 passes before turning the game over to Yoder, who went 5-for-8 for 119 yards and two TDs.
Linfield's defense was again tough to penetrate, racking up five sacks, two by Brynnan Hyland. Tackle Jeremy Girod had 1½ sacks among his six total tackles.
The first half unfolded in fits and starts for the Wildcats. Linfield piled up 346 yards, but produced just 13 points during the game's opening 30 minutes.
Linfield marched 10 plays to the UPS 15-yard line on its initial drive, but had to settle for a 32-yard field goal by Josh Kay. The drive stalled when John Shaffer rushed for no gain on first down and Inns threw incomplete on successive plays. Another long Linfield drive to the UPS 15 resulted in a missed field goal in the opening minute of the second quarter.
The Loggers went three-and-out on their next series and the Wildcats moved quickly into UPS territory. Inns found Wiersma for a 47-yard hookup down the middle of the field and six plays later, Shaffer plowed over from the 1 for a 10-0 Linfield advantage. Kay booted his second field goal of the game at the 4:42 mark of the quarter and Linfield took a 13-0 lead into the locker room at the break.
Inns and Yoder combined for three touchdown passes in the third quarter as the 'Cats blew the game wide open.
Linfield methodically drove 55 yards into the end zone with the opening kickoff. Inns passed 9 yards to Wiersma for a touchdown and later connected with Poppen on a 28-yard strike. After Kay kicked the extra point, the Wildcats led 27-0 with 8:28 left in the third period. Inns hit Wiersma with a 23-yard pass in the end zone 4½ minutes later and the Linfield coaching staff soon began to empty the bench. Yoder then made it 41-0 with 29-yard pass to Evan Peterson in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.
UPS got on the scoreboard with 10 minutes left in the game when Austin Wagner rushed 19 yards for a touchdown. Two minutes later, Linfield was in the end zone once more after Yoder tossed a 19-yard TD to Derek Priestley. The extra point failed.
Tailback Stephen Nasca led the Linfield ground game with 56 yards rushing on nine carries. Shaffer had 23 yards on 11 touches. Tight end Westly Meng caught three passes for 74 yards. Lucas Jepson contributed four receptions for 36 yards.
Loggers quarterback Braden Foley completed 13-of-25 passes for 125 yards. Adam Kniffin, the Loggers' do-everything receiver, caught eight passes for 75 yards but was held without a touchdown.
'CAT SCRATCH: Saturday's attendance was 1,160. . . the Loggers lost their 17th consecutive contest. . . the Wildcats exceeded by one yard the single-game record of 540 passing yards set against Occidental in the 2005 NCAA playoffs. . .

Economy Isn't Slowing 'Winter Texan' Influx
October 18, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Economy Isn't Slowing 'Winter Texan' Influx
Returning Winter Texans Bill and Judy Zorrer are not letting the national economic slowdown and reports of border violence in Mexico affect their plans to travel to the Rio Grande Valley this winter, the Brownsville Herald reported.
"It's something that appears very scary on the news," Bill said about reports of kidnappings and shootings. "But we feel that (Nuevo) Progreso is still relatively safe."
The Zorrers have made the Fun N Sun RV Resort in San Benito their winter home for the past three years. This year they plan to stay in the Valley until April.
"We sold our home and travel for a living now," he said. "We can't let the economy or anything else get in the way of the way we live our lives."
They said that when they go to Mexico, they make sure to travel in a large group and only travel during daylight hours.
"To tell you the truth, (low) prices are what keep us going to (Nuevo) Progreso," Bill said.
Fun N Sun office manager Bethlee Huff said she receives many calls from Winter Texans who are concerned about travel to Mexico and the safety of the park. Still, the park's daily count sheet states that 280 RVs have arrived there so far this season, a number that is on track with other years.
"We don't promote travel to Mexico," Huff said. "But a lot of people call and ask us about the state of the border. Ultimately, they do end up going to Nuevo Progreso, because many Winter Texas have gone without any problems."
Huff explained that Winter Texans arrive daily; many of them have taken part in the early bird special, which entices the Winter Texans to arrive early and stay later, at reduced rates.
"To qualify for the early bird, they must have booked by the end of March the previous season, and spend four or more months at the park," Huff said.
Fun N Sun's discount is $75 for October, compared to the park's regular price of $362, Huff said. It also charges $99 for November and April, she said, adding that the regular price for those months is $469 and $428, respectively. The prices include water, cable TV plus the park's amenities.
In Harlingen, Paradise Park manager Dan Pearson said he expects about 1,000 Winter Texans and 500 RVs to return this year, a number that is holding steady with the previous year.
"Winter Texans aren't greatly affected by the economy like other groups," Pearson said. "A lot of them have pensions, or money saved up."
Pearson also supported the attitude that despite border violence, Winter Texans will still migrate here when the weather turns frosty in northern states.
"There really is no competing with the Valley," Pearson said. "The climate in Florida is basically the same, and for a couple of thousand dollars cheaper, Winter Texans can come and enjoy all the Valley has to offer."
Penny Simpson, head of the Valley Markets and Tourism Research Center at the University of Texas-Pan American, believes that the number of Winter Texans staying in the Valley will continue to grow, unless an unforeseen national tragedy occurs.
"The only time Winter Texan numbers have diminished was after the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11," Simpson said. "The effect border violence will play in their decision to visit the Valley is not available yet, but it will be interesting to know if it's going to play a role."
Simpson has been researching the impact of Winter Texans on the Valley since 1986, and according to her findings, an estimated 144,000 Winter Texans pumped a total of $802.5 million into the Valley's economy, during the 2009 season.
Simpson's 1986 study found that a total of 77,000 Winter Texans were present that year and that each Winter Texan household spent an average of $2,500 during their stay.
Twenty-one years later, for the 2009 season, Simpson reported that the average household spent $10,700 during the winter season.
Huff and Pearson both cited gas prices as a concern for some returning Winter Texans. As a result, last year Fun N Sun kept an estimated 82 RVs in storage and Paradise Park held 30, the park managers said.
The spike in gas prices, which averaged around $4 per gallon in 2008, made it more economical for some Winter Texans to leave their RVs here, rather than tow them to their summer homes, Huff and Pearson said.
"During the gas crunch of 2008, many Winter Texans opted to leave their RVs in storage, because gas prices were incredibly high," Huff said. "But if gas prices stay the way they are now, we won't be seeing that in the coming year."
For Donald and Barbara Seiwald, the choice to leave their RV behind last season was purely for convenience.
"We won't be driving to the Valley until later this week," Barbara Seiwald said from her home in Independence, Mo. "This is our fifth year leaving our RV at Sun N Fun, and it's just a lot easier not having to worry about the drive, especially for older individuals like ourselves."
She said that when they arrive, their RV would be sitting in their lot, prepped and ready for them.
"It saves us a lot of time and effort," she said.
Driving from Urbana, Ohio, Judy and Kenneth Batterton said their return to the Valley took two days.
Judy Batterton said that this was their second year in the Valley and that hospitality and friendliness brought them back.
"The Valley and Florida are fairly similar," she said. "But Floridians aren't as friendly as Texans."
The Battertons arrived only days after the Valley made national headlines when a Mexican investigator's head was delivered in a suitcase to the Mexican military in Miguel Aleman. The investigator was looking into the disappearance of David Hartley, a case that has attracted national attention.
"That's horrible," Judy Batterton said. "We weren't aware of the new developments in that case, but we still believe that traveling to specific parts of Mexico, like (Nuevo) Progreso is safe."
Still, some Winter Texans like Jan Valdenna, who has been coming to the Valley with her husband Chuck since 1995, are concerned about traveling to Mexico.
"I will not be going as much," Jan said. "It's really unfortunate, because Mexico is such a beautiful place. I know couples limit their time in Mexico due to the violence."
Huff and Pearson both expect the number of returning Winter Texans to remain strong and predict December through March to be peak season.
"They're rolling in on a daily basis," Huff said. "And that's going to continue until we reach our peak."

^ He's hiding. I mean, dude, the 5 espada MORE POWERFUL than him just got taken out, the one even more powerful than those five is fighting and will apparently lose due to Ichigo's super technique: character shield. And the other three are away fighting.

I guess my real question would be why is Yammy still alive (No offense to Yammy fans) He just doesn't seem to have much of a purpose. But then again, Kubo must have some reason for keeping him in hiding for so long.

ooh. Still, the questions of when it appears, how and why remain. 'It comes from the soul.' So it the blade detaches itself from the shinigami's body? Because a shinigami's body, is like the soul, right?
Oh, I also don't understand the superhuman drug. Someone care to explain?
|2009-01-15, 08:02
|Link #1491
The superhuman drug heightens one's senses to the point where they experience a prolonged sense of time, and therefore the feeling of pain, which is linked to receptors all over the body, would also be prolonged. Mayuri used the undiluted solution so Szayel will be in agonizing pain for what seems like 100 years.

Yea, ok, that I got. But why can't he move away/block?
Although his mind is superfast, his body isn't, right? But if his eyes can see the blade moving towards him, though incredibly slow, his brain should be able to send the signals to his hand to stop the blade. Or to his feet to move away. Why does he become a statue?

The kendo masters or whoever experiences this see things as if time has stopped for an instant and then revert back to normal time flow. Szayel apollo was stuck in that time freeze. To him, everything was standing still, including himself.He can think fast, but he can't act because his actions are performed at 1 second times whatever he thinks is a second.
About the zanpakuto: see renji's second fight where zabimaru says he won't lose to zangetsu again, the swords are the manifestation of a fighter's soul.Their bodies are their spirit forms, they got the soul inside them-that's why ichigo can draw out zangetsu anytime.

I actually thought the drug was pretty clever, basically it hightens your mind to a point were seconds seem like decades. As such your body which is not going at superhuman speed can't compute the signals the brains sending and unless the person can focus for the whole time there body can't move (i.e. when syazels hand moves up slowly its because his mind can't communicate properly to the body).

New question for the bright minds of the forum: does cero colour affect power? Normal gillian and yami shoot out red cero, grimmjow can use red and blue with blue>red as explained by halibel, but that was a special one... Nnoitra's is yellow and Ulquiorra's is white. Nel's is pink o_0

yes it's green
I guess it doesn't mean too much, like the colours used on the reiatsu auras are basically just for show(Ichigo is the exception with his shinigami and hollow reiatsu color).

Of course it's possible.
There are plenty of people who don't have either a PlayStation or PlayStation 2.
Then there are people like me who couldn't care about the games either way.

Wow, that trailer was awesome, for any that don't know, the trailer is a DVD rip(looks better than the ones from adventchildren.net) from the recent rerelease Final Fantasy X-2: International+Last Mission. This trailer has been out for about a week, but originally it was Japanese, it was translate a few days ago by TNTiet, but this translation is by far superior.
I can't wait for the movie to come out after seeing this trailer. Also to anyone that doesn't know, this takes place 2 years after the events of FF7. Hopefully this movie will do well and they'll rerelease the game for PS2 or make a sequel.
Anyways, if you didn't see the trailer, go grab it, you won't be dissapointed.

Some of the scenes within the trailer appear to be that of a remake from the game. Yet other scenes appear completely new to me,.. but then this is going by from what I can remember from the many years ago back when I played the game. So if it does follow part of the story from the game, then I feel that FFVII AC will not disappoint.

Its not a remake or another story its set 2 years after FF7
There will be Flashback Memory I'm certaine bcause you see the scene that make me cry in the game when he let Aeris sink in the lake...
But for the rest ...It have a lot of new character (enemies) I predict that the guy in whit white things on him is Sephiroth when the other guy is on his knees ... I dont know how he can as survived but I cant wait to know about it...
This time its a true Final Fantasy movie not like "spirit whithin"

I'm looking at this very dubiously. One of the things I really liked about the Final Fantasy series was their willingness to leave a story, and start a new one with each title, instead of running the greatness of the game into the ground with sequal after mediocre sequel. One of the problems I find with sequels in general is that a good story usually has some sort of closure. If you want to make a sequel, you first have to "unclose" the closure.
But the animation does look good on this, and I'm really hoping it will be fansubbed - from what I've heard, there is no American release slated, but seeing as Square-Enix distributes in America, I'm guessing that would count as FF:AC being licensed.

It would be cool if they released a remastered FF VII with modern graphics and everything, I just hope this doesnt turn out to be another Spirits Within
And the music in the beginning brings back so many memorys of me awake at 4 in the morning, school the next day, playing this game. For me VII will always be a classic it's what got me into games and RPGs Its what made me nag my parents for a PS1

That is why squarenix must not continue to sequel. The recycling of setting is fine, but the story must be new and self-contained. I guess the only parallel I can draw is onegai teacher and twins...

ooooo i can't wait to see this, i'm all for this movie. I think with final fantasy the spirits within movie is that you never really got to create an emotional bond with the character. I know for a fact playing on final fantasy rpg games for x amount of hours creates a relationship between me and the characters of the game. This movie will just allow me to revisit these nostalgic feelings between me and those characters of ff7!

Brodeur, Parise lead Devils to 4-1 Game 4 win over rattled Rangers; East Finals tied, 2-2NHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEWARK, N.J. - If you have any doubt the New Jersey Devils are frustrating the New York Rangers in their Eastern Conference finals, just look at Game 4.
Forget that Zach Parise scored two goals and set up another in the Devils' 4-1 win that evened the series at 2-all.
Look at the extracurricular stuff in the game Monday night.
Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur got sucker-punched by former teammate Mike Rupp, who might now be facing a suspension.
New Jersey teammates Patrik Elias, Adam Henrique and Steve Bernier were the victims of cheap shots, and the Rangers spent most of the final 20 minutes killing off penalties and acting foolish.
In 48 hours, the tide has turned again in this series between longtime rivals. Henrik Lundqvist is no longer in the Devils' heads, and the Rangers seemingly are the ones fighting demons heading into Game 5 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.
"It's a good sign, I guess, when they take liberties on players," Brodeur said after making 28 saves en route to his 10th post-season win. "That means they're getting off their game a little bit. We've been working really hard, putting our head down, taking a lot of shots throughout the playoffs.
"It's no different in this series," the 40-year-old three-time Stanley Cup winner said. "And as we go, we're going to keep doing the same. And it's paying off for us to be disciplined about these things."
The Rangers were undisciplined. They took six penalties and one led to Parise's first goal early in the third period that pushed the lead to 3-0.
The tally gave New Jersey a comfortable lead, but the game was far from over, especially when Rupp punched Brodeur with a jab that appeared to connect in the neck area and slide up his mask.
The punch seemingly came out of nowhere and almost set off a battle on the ice. It did spark a shouting match between coaches Peter DeBoer of the Devils and John Tortorella of the Rangers on the benches.
"You don't like to see that," DeBoer said of the hit on his goaltender. "He's a key guy for us. Two teams battling it out. He's a big boy. He can take care of himself."
Brodeur was more surprised by the incident than anything.
"I didn't expect anything," he said. "I never got punched like that in my career. First time. It kind of surprised me more than anything, but now I know I can take a punch."
Tortorella refused to say anything about his shouting match with DeBoer, with whom he has argued several times this season, including Sunday when he complained about the Devils using illegal picks and embellishing penalties.
"This isn't about John and I," DeBoer said. "This is about the guys on the ice. So, I don't have anything to say about that."
This game ??? and its result ??? was almost anticlimactic after the shenanigans.
Bryce Salvador and Travis Zajac beat Henrik Lundqvist less than four minutes apart in the first to give the Devils their first two-goal lead in the series, which is developing an intensity and emotion comparable to the classic 1994 Eastern Conference Finals between these two rivals.
In that series, there were suspensions on both sides, three double-overtime games, a Game 6 "Guarantee" by New York captain Mark Messier, and unparalleled drama.
Well, this one is getting there.
On Monday, Brodeur, the only remaining player on either side from that series, even notched an assist in the third, on Parise's empty netter, capping a game in which the Devils maintained their composure and bounced back from a 3-0 shutout in Game 3, while the Rangers took several uncharacteristic penalties and seemed rattled from the start.
And the chippiness increased with each period. New York's Marc Staal whacked Elias in the back of the knee with his stick in the second. Ryan Callahan, the Rangers captain, and New Jersey's Ilya Kovalchuk tussled and then jawed at each other from the respective penalty boxes.
"There are going to be situations out there where we get into each other's faces," Callahan said. "That's playoff hockey."
But the Rupp incident might have been a little over the top, even for the Stanley Cup playoffs.
A former Devil who scored the Stanley Cup-clinching goal for New Jersey in 2003 against Anaheim, Rupp jabbed Brodeur while the goalie was in his crease in the third after a stoppage in play. That almost set off a free-for-all among the players on the ice, especially after Brodeur reacted like he had been hit by a roundhouse left.
As Brodeur walked through the locker room, he was asked if Rupp was his friend.
"That's what I thought," he said before heading to the podium for a postgame news conference. Rupp was not available for comment.
Ruslan Fedotenko ruined Brodeur's bid for his 25th career playoff shutout with just over five minutes to play.
The Rangers pulled Lundqvist, who had shut out the Devils in Games 1 and 3, with less than three minutes to play, and Brodeur made two outstanding saves to keep it a two-goal game.
Parise ????????? two days after he did not speak to reporters after a disappointing effort in Game 3 ????????? finally iced it with his second of the game and sixth of the playoffs. It was a clearing pass that found its way into the net. Brodeur's assist was his fourth point of the playoffs, an NHL record for a goaltender in one post-season.
But this game ????????? which did not include New York's Brendan Prust, who was suspended for elbowing Anton Volchenkov in Game 3 ????????? was decided early because the Devils finally found ways to beat Lundqvist.
Salvador's wrist shot from the point found its way through a half-dozen players and sneaked by the Rangers' netminder for New Jersey's first goal since the third period of Game 2.
Zajac's goal gave the Devils a 2-0 edge at 11:59, and the rejuvenated Parise had a big hand in it.
New Jersey's Dainius Zubrus sent the puck along the boards and New York's Michael Del Zotto made two mistakes. He didn't flag down the puck and then he allowed Parise to skate past him, setting up a 2-on-1 break. Parise lifted a pass over the stick of a prone Dan Girardi, and Zajac one-timed the pass into the upper portion of the net before Lundqvist could react.
Parise extended the lead to 3-0 early in the third, just 4 seconds after New York's Derek Stepan was sent off for high-sticking. Kovalchuk took a shot from the point that Lundqvist could not control and Parise whacked the rebound into the net.
NOTES: Veteran Petr Sykora, who had played in every game for the Devils this season and won the 2000 Stanley Cup with New Jersey, sat, as Jacob Josefson returned to the lineup. ... With Prust forced to miss the game, the Rangers dressed seven defenceman, including Stu Bickel, who returned to the lineup after sitting for Game 3. ... Rangers rookie forward Chris Kreider had his three-game goal scoring streak snapped. ... The Devils' win was played on the 18th anniversary of New Jersey's 3-1 victory over the Rangers in the aforementioned 1994 series. That was also a Game 4, and that also tied that series, 2-2. New York went on to win in seven games. ... Monday night's game marked the first time the Rangers allowed more than three goals in a contest during these playoffs. New York tied an NHL record by holding its opponents to three goals or less in 17 consecutive games to begin the post-season.

Snooki Pregnant & Covering Up
Snooki -- Pregnant & Covering Up
Wearing a loose fitting top for two, newly pregnant Snooki tried to shield herself from the rain underneath her coat as she filmed her new reality show in Jersey City on Wednesday.
As TMZ reported earlier, Snooks originally lied about being with child because she didn't want to jinx anything prior to being three months pregnant. Now that she's passed that threshold, an official announcement is expected at any moment.
With no baby bump spotted yet, the 24-year-old should get ready for an even bigger downpour ... of press.

The Lady Bisons have traded Hawaii for Kansas this week.
Friday night they lost 92-50 to host Kansas State in the first round of the Commerce Bank/Wildcat Classic in Manhattan, Kansas.
For the second game in a row only one Lady Bison managed to score in double figures. Center Katie Rollins scored 10 points. Guard Catie Woods scored 10 points against Kentucky in the final game of the Rainbow Wahine Classic in Honolulu.
Rollins becomes the first Lady Bisons player to lead the team in scoring more than once this season. She also had 13 points against UAB in the Rainbow Wahine Classic.
Rollins has double figures in three games this season, including a season-and-career high against Fisk.
Forwards Valerie Bronson and Rachel Viehmann each grabbed three rebounds to lead the Lady Bisons.
The Lady Bisons shot 36 percent from the field hitting 18-of-50 shots and 50 percent from 3-point range hitting 7-of-14. They were 7-11 from the free throw line, a 63.6 percent success rate.
The Lady Bisons slipped to 1-7. Kansas State is 3-3.

Even with the Texas pecan harvest under way and promises of excellent off-year yields from this state and others in the nation's pecan belt, the pecan industry is at a crossroads, according to a Texas AgriLife Extension Service economist.
"The pecan harvest in Texas began recently and continues to gain momentum," said Jose Pena, AgriLife Extension economist-management at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Uvalde. "But while it's seeing above-average crop production throughout the pecan belt this year, the U.S. pecan industry has a serious challenge that needs to be addressed. Right now, it is at a crossroads."
Pena said the industry's challenge is to meet the increasing demand for pecans, particularly export demand from China, while continuing to provide adequate supplies for domestic consumption.
"The Oct. 8 official U.S. Department of Agriculture estimate of the nation's pecan crop at 271.3 million pounds is just 20.5 million pounds lower than 292(million pounds) produced last year," Pena said. "Together with the estimates of 'carry-in' pecan supplies at about 92 million pounds, this would make the estimate of available pecans at about 363.3 million pounds.
"But even though this reflects above-average production, especially for an off year, the overall supply is still down about 26.5 million pounds from last year."
Pena added that pecan imports from Mexico also will be less than last year since 2010 is similarly an off year for pecan production there, and this will further lower the aggregate supply of pecans available.
"Also, even with good overall growing conditions over most of the pecan belt during the past year, many producers still experienced lower-than-average yields due to crop stress this summer," he said.
Excellent crop
But in spite of some summer stress, pecan production for Texas this season appears to be excellent, said AgriLife Extension horticulturist Dr. Larry Stein.
Stein, who primarily works with pecan producers in South Central Texas, said last fall's rains, as well as the more recent warm days and cool nights, have spurred production.
"The rains last fall actually had a somewhat negative impact on pecan quality last year, but having that moisture in the soil really helped this year's pecan production, contributing to positive growing conditions this fall," he said.
The Oct. 8 estimate by the USDA for this year's pecan crop in Texas is 70 million pounds, up 10 million from last year, Pena said.
"We're expecting to have an above-average yield and very good nut quality this year," said Tim Montz, owner of Montz Pecan.
Montz plants on about 1,000 acres of irrigated, improved and non-irrigated orchard land in North Central Texas near Wichita Falls. Although one of his orchards was badly damaged by hail, the remainder of his orchards produced well and compensated for the loss. Last year was the first year Montz Pecan conducted business with China.
"(In 2009) Chinese buyers bought about 25 percent of my crop," Montz said. "And this year, I've already gotten lots of calls (from prospective buyers) and am seeing a good amount of interest in this crop. I expect to do as much or more business with China this year as last."
"In 2009, between 80 million and 100 million pounds of U.S. pecans were shipped to China," said Cindy Wise, executive vice president of the Texas Pecan Growers Association. That was about 25 percent of the entire pecan production of both the U.S and Mexico, and some of that supply carried over into cold storage."
Need balance
Wise said China's near-term demand would largely depend on what portion of that supply has been used up now and how much will be used during January's Lunar New Year celebrations.
"China has major celebrations in September and January, during which many pecans are used and consumed," she said.
Wise explained that a major reason exportation to China has been a boon for pecan growers is Chinese buyers typically purchase the product in-shell.
"The Chinese usually buy directly from the grower and require they provide them with larger in-shell nuts, so the product usually doesn't go through the shelling process before it's exported."
Pena, however, expressed his concern that exportation of premium pecans to other countries makes fewer high-quality pecans available to U.S. consumers and "applies upward pricing pressure" on pecans used for domestic consumption.
"It's a matter of the industry finding the right balance between domestic and export demand and working to ensure there are adequate supplies of quality pecans to meet both," he said. Wise noted that while exports to China more directly benefit the larger growers who sell to them, they also provide a benefit to smaller growers.
"The pecan market has been strong for the past several years and producers will continue to receive higher prices for their product," she said. "It's also likely that prices paid to growers this year will be the highest they've ever been."
Pena said he hopes the U.S. pecan industry will be able to continue to meet the growing demand for its product and that American consumers will continue to have access to high-quality pecans.

Eclipse (Italiano)
Eclipse is an open source community project, which aims to provide a universal development platform. The Eclipse project is most widely known for its cross-platform integrated development environment (IDE). The Arch Linux packages (and this guide) relate specifically to the IDE.
The Eclipse IDE is largely written in Java but can be used to develop applications in a number of languages, including Java, C/C++, PHP and Perl. The IDE can also provide subversion support (see below) and task management (either through its built-in TODO list or through the eclipse-mylyn package).
- 1 Installation
- 2 Plugins
- 2.1 C/C++ support
- 2.2 Perl support
- 2.3 PHP support
- 2.4 Python support
- 2.5 Web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript...)
- 2.6 Subversion support
- 2.7 Git support
- 3 Updates
- 4 Using Sun JDK in place of OpenJDK
- 5 Enable javadoc integration
- 6 Troubleshooting
It is very easy to install the Eclipse SDK in Arch Linux:
# pacman -S eclipse
This base package has Java development support built in.
There are two methods to install plugins for Eclipse:
- using pacman to install plugins packaged in Arch repositories (see Eclipse plugin package guidelines for further informations);
- using Eclipse's plugin manager to download and install plugins from their original repositories; in this case you have to find the needed repository in the plugin's website, then go to Help -> Install New Software..., enter the repository in the Work with field, select the plugin to install from the list below and follow the instructions.
- If you install plugins with Eclipse's plugin manager, you are advised to launch Eclipse as root: this way the plugins will be installed in Template:Filename; if you installed them as normal user, they would be stored in a version-dependent folder inside Template:Filename, and, after upgrading Eclipse, they wouldn't be recognized any longer.
- Do not use Eclipse as root for your everyday work.
C/C++ support
Eclipse CDT
- Project homepage: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
- Package in [extra]: Template:Package Official
Perl support

- Package in AUR: Template:Package AUR
Web development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript...)
Aptana Studio
- Project homepage: http://www.aptana.org/
- For the Eclipse plugin version, use Eclipse's plugin manager
- For the standalone version, there is a package in AUR: Template:Package AUR
Subversion support

Git support
- Project homepage: http://www.eclipse.org/egit/
- Package in AUR: Template:Package AUR
- Eclipse and the plugins installed with pacman are obviously updated with pacman itself.
- For plugins installed with Eclipse's plugin manager, run Eclipse and select Help -> Check for Updates (if you have installed them as root as advised in the section above, you have to run Eclipse as root).
For plugins to be updated, you should check to have their update repositories enabled in Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites: you can find each plugin's repository(es) on the respective project website. To add, edit, remove... repositories just use the buttons on the right of the Available Software Sites panel. For Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo), check you have enabled this repository:
To receive update notifications, go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Automatic Updates. If you want to receive notifications for plugins installed as root, you should run Eclipse as root, go to Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites, select the repositories related to the installed plugins and Export them; then run Eclipse as normal user and Import them in the same panel.
Using Sun JDK in place of OpenJDK
Eclipse depends on openjdk6 by default, which you can easily replace with jdk, following this article.
By the way, you may want to link the file /opt/java/bin/java to /usr/bin/java:
# ln -s /opt/java/bin/java /usr/bin
Enable javadoc integration
Want to see API entries when hovering the mouse pointer over standard Java methods?
Online Version
If you have constant internet access on your machine, you can use the on-line documentation provided by sun. Just follow these instructions:
- Go to Window/Preferences, then go to Java/Installed JREs.
- There should be one named "java" with the type "Standard VM". Select this and click Edit.
- Select the Template:Filename item under "JRE system libraries:", then click "Javadoc Location...".
- Enter "http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/" in the "Javadoc location path:" text field.
- Done!
Offline Version
If you have no internet connection on your development machine or do not want to constantly consume bandwidth for the documentation, you can store the documentation locally.
- Start your favorite web browser and navigate to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
- Search for "Java SE 6 Documentation" and click the Download link.
- Follow the instructions to download the "jdk-6-doc.zip" file. (e.g. to Template:Filename).
- Go to Window/Preferences, then go to Java/Installed JREs.
- There should be one named "java" with the type "Standard VM". Select this and click Edit.
- Select the Template:Filename item under "JRE system libraries:", then click "Javadoc Location...".
- Select the point "Javadoc in archive"
- Enter the path to the previously downloaded Template:Filename (e.g. Template:Filename) in the "Archive path:" text field.
- Done!
Autocompletion and javadoc render crash
For some reason, libxul may crash. To fix this issue, you can try installing Template:Package Official and adding the following lines in your Template:Filename:
If that does not work (or if you do not want to use libwebkit) try this:
- 1. Download http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/220.127.116.11/runtimes/xulrunner-220.127.116.11.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
- 2. Unpack it into /home/<Username>/.xulrunner (or another location)
- 3. Add this line to your Eclipse configuration file Template:Filename:
- Now everything should just work fine and tooltips should display correctly.
Crash on first boot or when choosing "Help->Welcome"
See above.

Very few who've seen the controversial cover of this week's issue of Time Magazine walk away without an opinion, and country star Sara Evans is no different. She is one of two female vocalists outraged by the photo, which shows a three-year-old boy standing on a chair and breastfeeding from his mother.
"The Time Mag cover is ridiculous! What is wrong with people? My son saw that in a doc office!" Evans tweeted Monday morning. Singer Sarah Buxton quickly replied, echoeing that she shares the 'A Little Bit Stronger' singer's sentiment. "@saraevansmusic I could not agree more. Despicable," Buxton said.
The issue is focused on attachment parenting, a form of child-rearing that involves breastfeeding to an older age and co-sleeping. While this style is considered controversial and regularly sparks debate, it's the picture of the 26-year-old mother and her son that has passers-by upset.
The age of the little boy is not what's bothersome to some — it's the argument that the magazine is showboating the family simply to boost sales and get people talking. Obviously, it worked. Others, who perhaps prefer a less attached parenting style, have expressed via various outlets on the web that they find the photo "gross" in general.
As for Evans, she seemed to be concerned that the picture is simply not family appropriate. The singer lives with husband Jay Barker and has seven children — three of her own and four from Barker's previous relationship.

Adrianne Palicki — Celeb Crush
Adrianne Palicki star's is rising faster than ever, and we couldn't be happier about it. We've been crushing on this tall and beautiful 29-year-old actress ever since she started stealing scenes on NBC's 'Friday Night Lights.'
Palicki, an Ohio native, was a jock in school. She played basketball and ran track before turning her attention to acting.
You may have seen her in the recent 'Red Dawn' redo, or maybe you marveled at how well she filled out Wonder Woman's skimpy outfit in the passed pilot for David Kelley's superhero show.
We're looking forward to watching her kick some Cobra ass as Lady Jay in the upcoming 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation.' Check her out in the movie's new trailer.

We were all told a number of potential negatives regarding the new and improved Lakers.
How Dwight Howard was recovering from back surgery and had difficulty making free throws.
How Steve Nash was older and had difficulty guarding anyone younger than himself.
How Mike D'Antoni never reached the Finals and simply did not teach or care about defense.
How in spite of the glowing headlines, the Lakers are an old team.
And how Jimmy Buss, now in full control, blew the Phil Jackson rehire and really doesn't know what he is doing.
Unfortunately, all we were told has turned out to be true.
