BUIES CREEK, N.C. (Nov. 13, 2009) - A heartbreaking goal in the 86th minute by Hatters' Jonathan Mendoza was the difference as the ETSU men's soccer team fell to No. 2 Stetson 3-2 on Friday night at the Eakes Athletic Complex in Buies Creek, N.C. in the semifinals of the Atlantic Sun Tournament.
"This was a hard fought game between two good teams," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "I am very proud of the effort that we showed today. Stetson is an experienced team when it comes to tournament games, and you have to give them credit for how they played. We wish them luck going forward. For us to make it to the semifinals in the second year of our program is a great accomplishment for our young team."
The Bucs (6-9-3, 4-4-1 A-Sun) outshot Stetson (13-3-2) 24-14 in the match and had a 7-4 advantage in corners. Senior Scott Rosman (
Stetson went up 1-0 in the 10th minute as Giulio D'Amore took a shot from about 30 yards out that was deflected off of an ETSU defender into the net.
The Bucs evened the game at 1-all in the 37th minute as Matt Reed (
The Hatters drew a penalty in the box in the 42nd minute, and Robert Hodge beat Rosman on the penalty kick to go up 2-1 at the half.
Rosman came up with a big save in the 47th minute as he stopped Stetson's Jonathan Mendoza in a one-on-one breakaway.
ETSU tied the match again in the 84th minute as Aaron Schoenfeld (
"I think the future of the ETSU men's soccer team looks very bright, and I think the coaches and players know that," Calabrese said. "We will work hard in the off-season and hopefully improve upon what we have done in our second season. When we get experience and maturity as these players get older I think we will come away from games like these with a better result."

Goalkeepers and Defenders
So, another review is here, the good people at PR Genie have decided that more time and devotion shall be spent on my couch as I trawl through some obvious, some surprising,and some downright ridiculous candidates for the best Manchester United XI. In stark comparison to the otherwise impressive Rooney Goal Machine, the opening titles and graphics have a slight air of class about them, less Europa League, more Champions League perhaps. Loud classical music blares triumphantly with the overblown grandiosity of a late '90s SKY Sports advert. The basic format is from a competition invented by the club's website in 2011 where fans vote on the best players for each position, based on what I'm guessing is a rigid 4-4-2 formation.

In the professional pecking order, baby-raising knocks you down a few notches. Women have known this forever. Thank you, millennia of patriarchy. Hello, glass ceiling.
But guys who take on primary caregiving responsibilities feel the pain, too, though not as much as women who choose to prioritize work over child-rearing.
An about-to-be-published study led by Professor Jennifer Berdahl of the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management found that middle-class dudes who assume traditionally female child-care roles get harassed and talked down to more at work than those who stuck to typical family gender norms.
It's totally lame that that adults act like such sexist bullies against guys open-minded enough to step up their game at home. And yet, even in this scenario, working moms have it worse off.
"Women without children and mothers with non-traditional care-giving arrangements are treated worst of all," says the Science Daily in previewing the research.
Performance did nothing to provoke coworkers' judgment either. It's notas though dads were leaving early to pick up the kids or prepare some formula or swing by the store for some dinner fixings. Nope, they kept the same schedule as their office-mates.
"Their hours are no different than other employees', but their co-workers appear to be picking up on their non-traditional caregiving roles and are treating them disrespectfully," says Berdahl, who co-authored the study with Sue Moon from the Long Island University Post.
Sad. But no shock there.
The work-life balance for female parents tends to be decidedly more demanding because they're overwhelmingly expected to shoulder a bigger share of the child-raising and housework than men. When a couple decides to promote the man to primary caregiver at home, the woman is quite often judged for abandoning sacred maternal instinct and the guy for copping out as provider.
In an article published this week in Slate, University of California, Berkeley, Law Professor Mary Ann Mason talks about the career-stunting opposite to that dad-as-caregiver discrimination in the ivory tower of academic tenure.
"Women pay a 'baby penalty' over the course of a career in academia — from the tentative graduate school years through the pressure cooker of tenure, the long mid-career march, and finally retirement," says Mason, whose book "Do Babies Matter? Gender and Family in the Ivory Tower," culls from career-long surveys of tens of thousands of graduate students.
The pervasive attitude in academia is that women who have children during graduate studies must prove to the faculty their capability to complete the degree, the essay says. That one-sided, gendered expectation pushes many women to drop out of the race early, narrowing the number of female academics who complete the tenure track to become deans, presidents and top-tier faculty. The industry alternative, stats show, demands a woman hold off on starting a family until she hits her 40s.
Men, for obvious reasons, don't face those challenges in their academic research careers. Starting a family isn't as time-sensitive. And work-fatherhood balance not typically as demanding as work-motherhood.
Maybe working parents (but mostly women) can't have it all, as Anne-Marie Slaughter so matter-of-factly suggests in her much-talked-about essay for The Atlantic last year. Not yet. Not until companies and policy-makers get hip to evolving family dynamics and "take a look at improving how people are treated at work when they step outside of traditional family roles at home," as the Toronto study suggests.
Perhaps in the meantime, though, we can learn how to have more by looking at the way same-sex partnerships equitably divvy up work-home responsibilities without the gendered expectations of hetero couple-dom.

Nadal to miss Australian Open as virus puts comeback on hold
Madrid --
Rafael Nadal will miss the Australian Open because of a stomach virus, further delaying his comeback after being sidelined since June.
The Australian Open, the year's first Grand Slam tournament, begins Jan. 14. The virus kept Nadal from making his return at Abu Dhabi this week.
The Spaniard said Friday that his withdrawals had nothing to do with the tendinitis in his left knee that forced him to take a break last summer after his second-round loss at Wimbledon to then 100th-ranked Lukas Rosol. Nadal also missed the London Olympics.
"My knee is much better, and the rehabilitation process has gone well as predicted by the doctors," Nadal said. "But this virus didn't allow me to practice this past week, and therefore I am sorry to announce that I will not play in Doha (site of next week's Qatar Open) and the Australian Open."
The former No. 1 player hopes to return at the event in Acapulco, Mexico, starting Feb. 27. However, he did not rule out playing an earlier tournament if his recovery goes well.
"I always said that my return to competition will be when I am in the right conditions to play," he said. "And after all this time away from the courts, I'd rather not accelerate the comeback and prefer to do things well."
Nadal, ranked No. 4, won the Australian Open in 2009. Last year, he lost to top-ranked Novak Djokovic in a title match that lasted 5 hours, 53 minutes, the longest recorded Grand Slam final.
World Tennis Championship: Djokovic routed David Ferrer 6-0, 6-3 to reach the final of the exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Djokovic will face Spain's Nicolas Almagro in the final. A last-minute replacement for Nadal, Almagro rallied from a set down to beat Janko Tipsarevic 2-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2 in the second semifinal.
Djokovic wrapped up the first set in 26 minutes. He struggled early in the second as Ferrer broke the defending champion to go up 2-1. But Djokovic broke back courtesy of a delicate drop shot and several crisp winners to make it 2-2. He then broke the fifth-ranked Spaniard a second time to go up 4-2 on the way to an easy victory.

SUNNYVALE, CA -- Interactive Fitness Holdings (IFH) announced that it has acquired the assets and intellectual property of Expresso Fitness.
Today's announcement is part of IFH's strategy to acquire, organize and deliver interactive fitness solutions to commercial customers, the company said. The products are being re-launched as the Expresso line by Interactive Fitness Holdings.
"Products like Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution have demonstrated a large and growing consumer market for interactive fitness products and services," Bill Stensrud, chairman of IFH, said in a statement. "The commercial market is just as exciting but lacks a compelling range of products with sound financial support. IFH will bring breakthrough solutions to commercial fitness facilities in the U.S. and around the world. Acquiring the Expresso technology is the first step. Expresso built a disruptive product line which was embraced with great enthusiasm by the commercial market. This is a terrific platform on which to build."
IFH, founded this year, said its first priority will be to develop and deliver support services for the installed base of Expresso products. Brian Button, CEO of IFH, said service and parts products will be defined, priced and available within a week, and new finished bikes will be shipped within two weeks. Button added that IFH will maintain the networked servers at www.expresso.net which provide bike connectivity and that there will be no interruption of services.
"There are over 10,000 Expresso bikes installed," Button said. "Their owners want to know that there is a financially sound organization committed to providing the staff, parts, procedures and services needed to support those bikes. IFH is taking on this role, starting immediately."
Mark Urlage, IFH vice president of sales, said special pricing on service plans for Expresso's customer base will be offered until Dec. 31 during the transition to IFH.
"We are celebrating a new business model, new life and the continuation of the Expresso vision," Urlage said.More details about IFH and its acquisition of Expresso will be provided Nov. 16 at www.expresso.com.

Coralie's Cozy DIY'd Nook
Name: Coralie June
Location: Tortola, British Virgin Islands
Finding the perfect yet affordable apartment on our little island in the Caribbean sea can be a never ending task. So when a close friend of mine in real estate showed us a beautiful, spacious one bedroom, that was under budget, I knew we could somehow figure out how to make it work for our soon to be family of three.
With an oversized laundry room I was able to create a nursery annex for a changing table and clothing storage. We then converted what used to be a hallway connecting to the next apartment into a little child-friendly nook, that has continually grown along with our daughter Coralie June.
I'm a primary Montessori trained guide, so from her birth I respected the Montessori principles of keeping her environment simple and accessible. Along with her floor-bed, the room originally had a rotation of mobiles, a mirror, and a couple of baskets of books and small toys. I was overwhelmed with the notion of painting, since her ceiling is at least fifteen feet high. I'm now very pleased to have kept the walls white, which seems to work best for such a small space.
For the last year I have added items here and there, never really going with a theme or color plan, which explains the multicolored result. Since Coralie was born a year and a half ago, we have traveled both back to her birth home Portland, OR, and father's family home in Northern France. Many souvenirs have now been incorporated into her room such as her 'Paris' figurines and the colorful lanterns that hang above her bed.
I am also very proud of the many DIYed items now that have kept me busy on this fairly quiet island. I sewed the pillows, the bunting, the large curtain above the door, and the measuring chart on the door (some Ikea fabric, as well as other bits from my stash). The lamp beside her bed was mod-podged using fabric scraps from my ever growing pile. The shelf unit was embellished using wrapping paper. My favorite little project is the tiny framed prints by Japanese artist Junzo Terada that I cut from the cover of a book of sticky notes.
We're thinking we still have some time left in this apartment, and I am hoping to build a loft bed for more space and storage. But for now, I am very please with Coralie's cozy room.
Thanks Julie! Readers, say hi to Julie on her blog Rice Papaya.

I think the hardest thing about the curly girl method is finding which products are sulfate and silicone free. Many organic products are cg approved but not all.
You can either read and dissect labels for the ingredients below which gives me a headache. Or you can do the lazy way like I did and just find a list of curly girl approved products.
The following information is from www.naturallycurly.com and http://www.wikihow.com/Follow-the-Curly-Girl-Method-for-Curly-Hair:
Silicones and Sulfates
• Silicones that are not soluble in water and build up on the hair: Cetearyl methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Stearyl Dimethicone, and Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.
• Silicones that are slightly soluble in water and will build up on most types of curly hair: Amodimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, and Stearoxy Dimethicone.
• Silicones that are soluble in water and safe to use (they are not listed with PEG in front of them): Dimethicone Copolyol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein Hydroxypropyl Polysiloxane, and Lauryl methicone copolyol.
• Some common sulfates are Alkylbenzene sulfonate, Ammonium laureth or lauryl sulfate, Ammonium or Sodium Xylenesulfonate, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate, Sodium laureth, myreth, or lauryl sulfate, Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, TEA-dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Ethyl PEG-15 cocamine sulfate, and Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.
• Some mild cleansers, less drying and included in modified CG, are Cocamidopropyl betaine, Coco betaine, Cocoamphoacetate, Cocoamphodipropionate, Disodium cocoamphodiacetate or cocoamphodipropionate, Lauroamphoacetate, and Sodium cocoyl isethionate.
A big clue that a product has sulfates or silicones is if an ingredient ends with -ate or -cone. The closer an ingredient is to the beginning of the list, the more of that ingredient is present in that product. Definitely avoid the silicones in the table listed below that are not water soluble.
This list is from www.naturallycurly.com
|Water soluble?
|Recommended cleansing agents
|SLS, SLES, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, ALS, or ALES
|SLS, SLES, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, ALS, or ALES
|Phenyl Trimethicone
|SLS, SLES, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, ALS, or ALES
|SLS, SLES, cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, ALS, or ALES
|cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, other mild surfactants, or conditioner washing
|PEG-modified dimethicone
|cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, other mild surfactants, or conditioner washing
|Dimethicone copolyol
|cocamidopropyl betaine, cocobetaine, other mild surfactants, or conditioner washing
For a simpler breakdown of silicones, click here.
The following products are Curly Girl Method approved and can be found at:
I just combined the two lists so that I won't have to keep going between the two sites. Check out those sites though. They're very informative.
I am also adding products as I learn of new CG products.
List has been removed. Please refer to the list found on the left hand side of my blog.

Difference between revisions of "Cabo San Lucas"
Revision as of 04:15, 12 September 2013
Cabo San Lucas (known as Cabo for short) is a city at the far southern end of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
Cabo is a varied destination that captures the essence of Baja Peninsula in its many resorts, championship golf courses, world-class dining and amazing outdoor activities.
For much of its history, Cabo was a sleepy, remote fishing port which was generally accessed either by ship or a three-hour drive from La Paz. In 1977, the airport to the north of San Jose del Cabo was expanded to handle jet aircraft and international flights, thereby launching the transformation of Cabo into one of the most popular resort destinations in Mexico.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Cabo San Lucas grew into a bustling hub for sport fishermen, cruise ships, handicraft vendors, water sport aficionados and nightlife seekers.
Cabo's growth was further accelerated after Hurricane Wilma erased large parts of Cancun's legendary white sand beaches in 2005. During the four years it took to fully rebuild Cancun, many tourists looked at other parts of Mexico for their vacation options, and discovered Cabo.
The Cabo area is now considered the second fastest growing resort destination in all of Mexico. It is particularly busy with visitors during the winter high season, November to February. With some of the best all-around sport fishing in the world and every water sport imaginable, Cabo is the ultimate destination for travelers looking for outdoor adventure.
There are three major areas in "Cabo":
By night, Cabo San Lucas is one of the hottest party towns in North America with a glittering nightlife and a plethora of dining options that make energetic Cabo San Lucas an all-time favorite. Also called Cabo San "Loco" or just plain "Cabo", the town's reputation as the wild party center of the Baja Peninsula has brought fame and infamy to its many bars and nightclubs.
Get in
Flight is the preferred means of traveling to Cabo. The regional airport, Los Cabos International Airport (IATA: SJD), (624) 146-5111, is located outside of San Jose del Cabo and will take approximately 30-45 minutes to travel to Cabo San Lucas.
For general aviation or private jets, Terminal 2 is used. It has 14 gates: 7-20. Air taxi and air charter companies such as Jetset Charter [37] fly a variety of private charter aircraft and jets, from charter luxury Gulfstream's down to economical piston twins for small groups and individuals.
Most major American and Mexican airlines serve Los Cabos International Airport, including Aereo Calafia, Aeromexico, Alaska Airlines, Delta, Frontier Airlines, Interjet, Mexicana, and Volaris, as well as the Canadian airlines Transat and WestJet.
If you plan on arriving in Cabo via plane, a transfer van is the cheapest method to get to your hotel if you do not plan on renting a car. A reservation for a transfer can be made before arrival and is significantly cheaper than a taxi. There are vans at the airport charging per person for a ride to the resorts of Cabo which can be paid with or without prior reservation.
There are also transportation companies that provide shared and private transportation in shuttle vans, Chevy Suburbans, Cadillac Escalades and more:
Brown´s Private Services www.brownsprivateservices.com offer private transportation in Suburbans and Vans, specially for airport transfers.
Translobo Private Airport Transportation [38] Provides private airport transfers in current model SUV's to ensure your comfort in Cabo San Lucas/San Jose del Cabo/La Paz/Todos Santos/East Cape
Transbaja SJD Airport url=http://TransBaja.com Shuttles between the airport and the city.
Amstar [39] - Deluxe private and shared transfer from the airport.
The other way to reach Cabo is to drive Mexican Highway 1 all the way from Tijuana. Driving Highway 1 is not recommended unless you are fluent in Spanish and experienced in driving in Mexico.
Cabo San Lucas is essentially a tropical desert. Nighttime temperatures at their lowest are in the mid-50s Fahrenheit, while temperatures during summer soar into the 90F quite often. However, rain is rare and humidity is low, except in the late summer (July to September), which is also when Cabo is most vulnerable to hurricanes. The water temperature ranges from 70F in winter to 80F in summer. The surf is very good in Cabo.
Get around
Taxis are readily available but are not metered; rates are negotiable and should be negotiated before you get in. Unfortunately, the Cabo taxi drivers' union is quite powerful, with the result that Cabo is notorious for some of the highest taxi rates in Mexico.
There are many car rental agencies in Los Cabos, most of which have names familiar to travelers in the Americas. If you are staying in a villa or plan on many day-trips that are not covered by a resort or timeshare shuttle, then a rental will likely be a more cost-effective option. However, you should rent a car only if you are experienced in Mexican driving and/or are fluent in Spanish.
Filled with natural landmarks and a number of prominent monuments, the city of Cabo San Lucas has plenty of character, particularly around its coastline. From January to March, a must see is the whales, they come to Cabo during this period of time and many boats can take you out to sea to watch them. In early March, they are particularly abundant.
Scuba Diving & Watersports
Scuba diving Is especially good in Cabo, because you can watch the sandfalls under the water. It is an amazing spectacle provided by nature. If you are looking for something more relaxed perhaps you want to go to Lover's Beach or to one of the multiple romantic restaurants in Cabo. Cabo is also a good surfing destination, since many of the beaches on the east cape road pick up the southern swells. The beaches are accessible through the coastal road on the way to cabo pulmo. Particularly, shipwrecks beach is a favorite spot during the summer months,.
Cabo is known around the world as a top fishing destination. The meeting of the waters of the Pacific ocean and the Sea of Cortez creates a nutrient rich environment where sport fish thrive. Marlin, sailfish, tuna, dorado and wahoo are the most commonly targeted species. Cabo boasts one of the largest sport fishing charter fleets in Mexico. Charters range from pangas, open "semi-dorry" type skiffs, to 60 foot+ luxury sport fishing yachts. Prices for a day of fishing start around $175 for 5 hour panga trips, from $450 for 8 hour trips on 26-30 footers and into the $1,000 to $5,000 per day for boats from 34-60 feet.
Other activities
With boutiques as easy to come by in Cabo as restaurants, the town is a shoppers' delight.
Cabo's largest and most modern shopping center is Puerto Paraiso Shopping and Entertainment Plaza, which is indoors and air-conditioned. Both Puerto Paraiso and the adjacent Marina Cabo San Lucas offer a variety of shops and goods with an affable ambiance.
Shoppes At Palmilla offer a selection of high-end boutiques. The stores here include day spas, art galleries, fine restaurants, coffee shops, an amazing bakery, homemade crafts, and much more.
For many years, the traditional place for tourists to obtain basic supplies was the pharmacy and supermarket at Plaza Aramburo in the center of town. Since the mid-2000s, Plaza Aramburo has been supplemented by the addition of a Costco and a Walmart Supercenter on the outskirts of town on Highway 1.
Stay safe
Like Cancun, Cabo is popular with foreign tourists and expatriates because its remoteness and relative isolation from Mexico's main land transportation routes makes it less attractive to the drug cartels. Thus, Cabo has been largely (though not completely) free of the brutal drug-related violence which has ravaged most of Mexico's Pacific resorts like Mazatlan and Acapulco, as well as the border city of Tijuana.
The safest part of Cabo for tourists is the area around the marina; that is, Avenida Lazaro Cardenas, Boulevard Paseo de La Marina, and Paseo de La Marina.
Get out
The main beach of Cabo is located near the marina in the bay. On the beach there are some great places to eat and drink including The Office, along with many others most of the places have outdoor tables on the beach. The beach overlooks Lands End. You can also take a ride to Lands End by boat and also Lover's Beach one of the best beaches in the world.
Explore small towns surrounding Cabo: Todos Santos and La Paz are rich with history and make a great excursion. The nearby town of Todos Santos is a perfect side trip from Cabo. Todos Santos is a small community with approximately 4000 people. The town is filled with art and culture. The town is a tribute to the Eagles 'Hotel California', with its old colonial architecture and centuries old monastery one is transported back through time to a land of mystery and adventure. Stop at Elias Calles on your way home and pick a basket of organic strawberries.
La Paz (Mexico) is an old Mexican port with an 'old Baja' feel. It features in John Steinbeck's novel The Pearl based on a Mexican folk tale about the areas most valuable natural resource. Its anthropology museum offers insights into the first inhabitants of the Island 10,000 years ago. You can also see rock paintings dating back to these early settlers.

Mumbai: BJP workers on Friday staged a protest against Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam for his reported derogatory remarks against TV actor and BJP member Smriti Irani.
Activists of BJP`s youth and women`s wings took out a morcha and demanded an apology from Nirupam for his remarks against Irani, who is also a Member of Parliament.
Around 300 BJP cadres participated in the procession which concluded at Nirupam`s office in suburban Borivili.
Nirupam made an irresponsible statement at a time when crimes against women are rising and there is anger among people, a BJP functionary said.
He made the controversial remarks yesterday during a debate on a news channel on the Gujarat Assembly election results. The Congress MP questioned the credentials of Irani to analyse poll results given her background as a TV actress.
He reportedly said "till some time ago you were dancing on the TV screens and now you have become a psephologist."

Publisher Warns Fans That Liking A Book Too Much May Be Illegal
from the seriously? dept
"Once you know you can have it, once you know it exists in English and you can buy it, it would be crazy not to."But, the US publisher is quoted towards the end threatening those doing so, claiming it's illegal:
"What I would say to readers is, I would encourage them to shop at their local bookseller here in the United States or their online bookseller in the United States, where no laws are being broken and you are supporting the continuing discovery of world literature."As the anonymous reader who submitted this story notes, rather than just reading this statement, you really should hear the audio version of what Paul Bogaards from publisher Knoph says, because it's not fully conveyed in the written article. First, what he says in the audio version:
"Because it's against the law. It's a violation of copyright law."But you have to hear the sheer condescension in the tone. He says it as if he's speaking to pre-schoolers, not huge fans of these books.

A Winding Road
But before we get started, I have news (and I LOVE NEWS!):
The fabulous duo that we call LiLa, has just announced that they will see their book, THE HAUNTING OF PEMBERLY BROWN, on bookstore shelves in Spring 2011. YAY, LiLa! You girls rock!!!!!!
So in honor of publishing news, here's a look back at my journey (so far):
1) How I Found My Agent...
2) I'm Getting Published!!! (One of my favorite moments was *finally* being able to make this announcement...three months after the sale!)
3) Getting "The Call"
4) My Road To Publication (Notice that it lists the OLD release date since I wrote this post back in February...so many things have happened since then, but this is a great timeline of the process from sale through edits.)
5) My Sad News, With A Silver Lining... (The day I learned my release date was pushed back six months.)
6) Some really Cool Stuff...
7) In My Husband's World (What my Acknowledgment's Page would look like if my husband had written them.)
But here's the thing: you always expect it to get easier. If only I could get an agent...If only I got published...If only they sold foreign/audio/film...
The "What-ifs" are endless. There's always another hurdle, another goal. Like I said, it's a roller coaster. A thrill ride. And sometimes, when I least expect it, I get one of those calls or emails that take me plunging down the tracks with my arms raised and a scream lodged in the back of my throat.
And, really, what more could I want?

Ahh! THank you so much Kimberly! I've read your "getting the call while on vacation in an RV" post about 100 times. It's one of my favorite writer porn stories.
We're so lucky to have you as one of our writer friends. I'm trying to convince The Plot This gals, and LMJ to all meet up in Chicago this summer for a weekend. You in? You could totally do book signings or something to make it more professional-ish.

Melbourne: Cricket Australia (CA) charged Brisbane Heat coach Darren Lehmann for breaching its Code of Conduct after he accused West Indies all-rounder Marlon Samuels of chucking.
In a statement Sunday, the country`s governing body for cricket said Lehmann had infringed Rule 9 regarding "detrimental public comment", when he called the off-spinner`s action into question following a Big Bash game Saturday, reports CMC.
According to CA, players and officials must not "denigrate or criticise another player or denigrate or criticise an official, umpire, referee or team against which they have played or will play, whether in relation to incidents which occurred in a match or otherwise; denigrate or criticise another player or official by inappropriately commenting on any aspect of his or her performance, abilities or characteristics."
Cricket Australia said no date for the hearing had been set.
Lehmann`s criticism came following the Heat`s six-wicket loss to Samuels`s Melbourne Renegades at Docklands Stadium.
During the game, Samuels sent down four overs that cost just 18 runs, to help restrict the Heat to an inadequate 133 for eight after they opted to bat first.
Lehman was particularly upset by Samuels`s faster ball.
"I`ve spoken to the umpires about it. I just want something done," an upset Lehman complained afterward.
"He couldn`t bowl in the IPL (Indian Premier League) last year, yet he can bowl in the BBL. We`ve got to seriously look at what we`re doing. Are we here to play cricket properly or what.
"If he`s deemed legal, I`m totally understanding of that. But from my point of view from 20 years` cricket, I`ve got a problem with 120 kilometres per hour off no steps."
Samuels`s action was reported while playing for Pune Warriors in the IPL earlier this year, with his notorious faster ball coming under scrutiny.

What is your favorite word?
What is your favorite word? I was recently asked this question, during a group ice-breaker activity. It was fun to hear what words others chose and why. One person liked hippopotamus, because it was a fun word to say. That is a fun one. My favorite word is intentional.
When I first began submitting articles to the paper a few years ago, people would ask me what the purpose was for writing the articles. Perhaps people have seen over time. I hope to encourage an intentional way of life, for you, for me, for all. Intentional is doing what is right and good for everyone involved and doing it with and on purpose. It's a way of viewing the world in a thoughtful, appreciative, deliberate and goal-directed way. It's living and loving with your whole heart.
Doing something on purpose means that we've chosen to do it. We always have a choice, in anything we do. Sometimes it may seem we are stuck, but there is always a choice to do something different, or to view the situation differently. Perhaps you hate your job. You can complain about it and wear yourself out (negativity wears your body down), you can find purpose within the job (find meaning; such as ~ what difference do I make doing this job), or you can find another job. When my mother was young, and it was her turn to do the dreaded job of dishes after a family of 10 was done with a meal, she would bring purpose and joy to her job, by pretending she was on a commercial for dish soap. It made the job fun and important.
Webster's dictionary defines intention as the thing we plan to do or achieve. There is thought and direction involved. If I want to have a good relationship with my children, I will choose to interact with them, be present, ask them questions, play their play, and put myself in their world, because that is how relationships develop. The gift of listening and seeking to understand another are critical to any relationship. Determine what you want and then work toward that. That is intentional.
Sometimes people criticize the perhaps oversimplification that things happen for a reason. Everything on earth has a purpose and it was created with a purpose. It seems then, that there is truly a reason for everything, good or bad. Finding the good and being thoughtful and appreciative of it all, is living intentionally. Noticing and appreciating all that surrounds you and realize you are where you are, at the moment, for a reason.
Living and loving with our whole heart, another piece of intentional is about doing what is right for all people involved. Following your heart in decisions you make, without allowing your head to interfere with skeptical or defensive thoughts, helps you do what is right for everyone. Our hearts are our true guides in life.
This is intentional and that is why it is my favorite word.

CHAMPAIGN — Illinois coach John Groce slumped into a chair, placed his head on his palm and exhaled as an orange chaos erupted all around him on the Assembly Hall court.
He had just gotten the best news in long time.
After an official review of Tyler Griffey's buzzer-beater layup confirmed the Illini had upset No. 1 Indiana 74-72, Groce took a deep breath as the players continued to party on the court alongside the long-suffering Illini fans who already had stormed it.
"Some of the things going through my mind are kind of personal in nature," Groce said. "One of them for sure was I was really happy for those guys."
None more than the seniors Groce had said all season were resilient and in whom he had enough faith to leave all on the court in the final seconds.
The Illini (16-8, 3-7), losers of six of the last seven games and of four straight on their home court before Thursday, were predicted roadkill for the cruising Hoosiers (20-3, 8-2). But they showed yet again how volatile this college basketball season is as another top-rated team fell.
The resurrection was embodied by senior forward Griffey, who had entered the game with an 0-for-22 stretch on 3-pointers, lost his role as a starter and whose confidence was so drained coaches begged him to shoot.
He took an inbounds pass from Brandon Paul with 0.9 seconds remaining and hit an open layup at the buzzer for Illinois' first victory over a top-ranked team since it beat Wake Forest in 2004.
"I just made a simple curl cut and Brandon made a heck of a pass," Griffey said. "It was part of a read. I didn't expect (Cody) Zeller and (Christian) Watford right in front of me. They both kind of just stayed there."
Indiana coach Tom Crean said it was a broken play on defense that allowed the play at the rim.
Griffey, who had received an encouraging text from Paul around 11 p.m. Wednesday, made his first 3-pointer since Jan. 2 in the second half and finished with 14 points as well as a season-high eight rebounds.
The Illini, who had trailed by as many as 14 points, ended the game with a 13-2 run, including a stretch where senior guard D.J. Richardson scored eight straight points.
After Paul's two free throws tied the game 72-72 with 37 seconds left, Richardson stole the ball from Victor Oladipo. Oladipo blocked his shot at the other end, giving the Illini the ball out of bounds with less than a second remaining.
"I thought he was absolutely terrific at both ends of the floor," Groce said of Richardson, who scored a game-high 23 points. "He battled. He fought."
Paul added another 21 points, while Zeller's 14 led the Hoosiers.
The Illini shot 55.2 percent in the second half and scored 28 points overall off Indiana's 14 turnovers.
One victory does not negate the disappointment that has built up around Champaign since last season, when the team collapsed and missed the NCAA tournament. This game could be a deciding factor for the Illini as they attempt to rebuild their resume in time for selection Sunday.
"It's a big step today," Groce said. "Today we stuck to what we were supposed to do for the full 40 minutes and didn't flinch. It was a good sign and a move in the right direction."

BY THE time farmers are harvesting this year's fall crops, they will have an expanded menu of petroleum products from which to choose. If they are lucky, they'll be able to order à la carte.
The new products, ultralow-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and reformulated engine lubricants, are specifically designed to meet federal emissions rules for heavy-duty on-highway trucks built after January 1, 2007. Despite this relatively small group of vehicles, all market segments will be affected because some refiners might stop producing their current blends in favor of the more expensive varieties mandated by the EPA. Others could offer dual product lines for awhile, but that will boost the complexity and expense of inventory and distribution.
Uncertain prices
All of the changes — especially the prices — are clouded in uncertainty. The new fuel, however, is fairly straightforward. In fact, it's not even really new. ULSD fuel, which can contain no more than 15 parts per million (ppm) sulfur, has been available for quite some time, but only in limited quantities in certain areas. By year's end, it will replace today's "normal" on-highway fuel, the sulfur content of which cannot exceed 500 ppm. Refinery officials say ULSD is more expensive to make — an extra $0.03 to $0.10/gal. seems to be the most popular range of estimates — and consumers should expect those increased costs to be reflected at the pump.
Farmers can continue using the higher-sulfur, and presumably lower-priced, fuel in their field equipment until 2010, when ULSD is mandated for all diesel-powered vehicles. Increasingly, though, the trick will be in finding the higher-sulfur fuel. Refineries won't have much incentive to keep producing it unless they're selling to a significant number of off-road users, whether in ag, construction or mining.
Premium lubricants
Those same market conditions will also determine which companies continue to offer the existing lineup of premium engine lubricants, classified as CI-4+ by the American Petroleum Institute. By late fall, the oil industry will switch to the CJ-4 classification. The change, not surprisingly, is more than alphabetic. The forthcoming products, developed during the past three years, are built on a reduced additive package, featuring (among other things) a lower total base number, or TBN. The TBN is basically a chemical mixture that neutralizes acids resulting from combustion.
For operators using fuel other than ULSD, lower TBN could result in more frequent oil changes, says Jim McGeehan, global manager of engine oil technology for Chevron. "We think the drain intervals for on-highway trucks might stay the same as they are now," he says, "but that probably won't hold true for farm equipment running on fuel with a higher sulfur content." He suggests that CI-4+ lubes would be a better choice in such circumstances.
Bob Theisen, manager of technical services at CHS, which markets energy products under the Cenex brand, agrees. "I'm sure the new oils will work well in all diesel engines," he says. "At this time, though, I don't see any advantages they'd offer to offset their higher costs in off-highway engines. Plus, the combination of higher fuel-sulfur levels and lower amounts of TBN in the oil could shorten drain intervals." He says CHS, as in the past, will offer fuels and lubricants to accommodate the diverse needs of its customers.
That would be good news for Dan Piper, energy manager at Frontier Co-op in Lebanon, IN. Piper carries Cenex products, and he doubts that his customers have much interest in ULSD or reformulated lubricants. Given a choice, he says, Frontier will stay with its current petroleum lineup until there is genuine demand for something else.
Piper's ideas might change in the coming months, however. He has scheduled two meetings for area farmers in February and March, inviting his CHS representative to come in and discuss the new fuel and oil.
Performance advantages
Good information is key in marketing premium products, says Bruce Larson, vice president of Farm Oyl. "We've found that a good portion of buyers will opt for higher quality if the value is apparent," he says. "This is true even if the prices are higher." Larson says Farm Oyl executives haven't fully determined their strategy for handling CJ-4 and ULSD, but he expects those decisions to be made soon.
Officials at Citgo haven't mapped out their approach yet either. But Mark Betner, Citgo's heavy-duty-product manager, says he expects separate lines for on-highway and off-highway customers. Still, Betner is enthusiastic about the next generation of oil — for all diesel applications. He says people are getting too wrapped up in the pricing issues when they should be focused on the performance advantages of CJ-4.
"Engine lubricant adds just pennies to a farmer's overall business expenses," he says. "Ounce for ounce, we pay more for bottled water in this country than we do for oil. It's true, the new products will cost slightly more than what we're using now, but they'll also help people save fuel, which is a much bigger expenditure."
Altering the balance
Betner's views on economy might not be universally shared among his colleagues at other companies, but it's likely that they all agree with him on one topic: aftermarket oil additives.
"If customers are dumping additives into their crankcases, they are more than 99% likely to remove their oil's warranty," he says. "Furthermore, they're not improving anything. I don't care what's being advertised, no aftermarket mixture will 'help' a high-quality, certified engine lubricant. Today's oils are delicately balanced blends, and anything altering that balance runs a good chance of hurting performance more than helping it."
McGeehan at Chevron concurs: "We go to great lengths to formulate these products, running them through a whole series of testing procedures. The chemistry of additives can have complex reactions to varying levels of [petroleum] components. Once you start adding things, you essentially void our warranty. You're flying on your own."
A safer, more reliable way to ensure optimum lubricant performance is to rely on the advice of oil suppliers, either local, regional or national. A great deal of information is also available on the Internet and in printed literature. During the next few months, oil companies will be dispatching their gurus to countless meetings at co-ops and other distributor outlets, detailing the pros and cons of CJ-4 and ULSD. Farmers would be well served to attend. Maybe by that time, someone will know exactly how much more the new products will cost.
MODERN OIL categories began in 1947, when the American Petroleum Institute and several other groups started setting engine-oil standards. Before then, oil was rated only on its viscosity. The earliest categories involved just a few performance tests, but the standards have been raised with each new category. To be approved for the forthcoming category, CJ-4, oils will undergo at least 16 tests, some developed by the API, others by individual engine manufacturers. Oil that passes these tests is then licensed and carries the category designation on its packaging.
In the current alphanumeric jargon, C means compression ignition, and 4 stands for four-stroke. The middle letter, J, changes with each new level of performance.

Any good writers out there!
Discuss anything related to Golden State Warriors basketball here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
Any help for Monta is good help as his quick development would go well with the team. I'm still not sure whether he will want to stay in the Warriors as a backup for the rest of his career. If he gets real good, other teams will be willing to make him their starting PG and pay him big
In no way am I saying that he should even be considered over Baron, I just reckon that if it looks like he's going to leave, then Mullin should not let him go for nothing. He sure could be something special Monta Ellis, but he is on the wrong team to do it, unless Baron is not on the Warriors in 4 or 5 years time
Well, that's debateable. He's a good player, sure, and he has the potential to be special, but if he bites the hand that feeds him (I mean, come on, Mullin picked him OUTTA HIGH SCHOOL, late in the 2nd round... he was pretty much not getting drafted if we didn't pick him) and takes off for no reason, than screw him.
I would rather get something back for him if he does leave. Be nice to see him play meaningful minutes off the bench in about 4 seasons. He wil be 23 and Baron will 30 and by the time Baron is 32 or 33, if Monta is still around, the changing of the guard should happen as Monta would be entering his prime

This is my recommendations leter to Lisa Poisso of WoW Insider. It is in regards to the request of recommendations for their 15 Minutes of Fame spot.
Tell me what you think of my recommendations!
Dear Lisa,
I tweeted you some recommendations for the 15 Minutes of Fame request from WoWInsider.
"@LisaPoisso I would like to nominate @NavimieDruid, @ancient8, @AlternativeChat, and @Orvillius/@Nymphmage for the 15 minute Famethingy. :)"
Let me expound upon why I love these people.
First, Navimie of the blog Frostwolf-Druid Edition (@NavimieDruid). I believe that her "NaviSpams" were one of the greatest things that happened during the end of the last expansion. She made the WoW Community real to me. She brought the bloggers to life for me. Her quitesential niavite, always being the "star struck" one when meeting new people is endearing. She really is the star here. She shines the light of her blog upon other bloggers, bringing them visibility and honor! She brings them attention, page hits, and has substantially increased my WoW eReader time.
In a way, her act has actually expanded the Awareness of the WoW Community.
Tome of the Ancients (@ancient8) is a constant source of encouragement to other bloggers. She is the one behind the curtain bringing people together. For instance, I found out about Navimie throught TotA. She truly is the hidden connector and natural encourager, imo.
The God Mother (@AlternativeChat) has become on of my "go-to" blogs to read about WoW. I rank her up there with Big Red Kitty, Ratshag, Big Bear Butt, and Aspect of the Hare. First, her writing is always way above grade! She is exceptional. Secondly, she is always writing
preemptively about something that people are interested in. She is also very kind and genuinely interactive on twitter.
I'm putting the couple @Orvillius/@Nymphmage together for a nomination. They are the current leaders of the guild, "Eff the Ineffible." The guild started as a place where fellow bloggers could get together and raid/play wow. Even when they weren't the leaders, they were leading behind the scense. You see, I was getting burned out on WoW after Wrath; and was just coasting through Cata. I needed a place to be without expectations (my old guild wanted me to raid, but I just couldn't do it). Eff the Ineffible, and especially Nymphy and Orv took me and gave me the space within the guild to just exist. Even Though I Wasn't a Raider, Orv would craft me high level gear as if I was going to show up that night! In short, they treated me as one of the family. I wasn't the only misfit they gave a place to… there were at least three of us who just couldn't find any other place to fit; that found that place alongside Orv and Nymphy.
I didn't tweet about him, but I want to add JD Kenada of Amateur Azerothian to my list of recommendations. Where Navimie brings people together, he gives everyone something to do! I know other folks are part of them…but when I think of Laid Back Raids and 2012 Mog Olympics; JD is the person I think of. Where Navi makes us aware of each other, JD brings us together for a soda and fries. You know, something fun to get us together and enjoy each other's company.
Where Navi shines the light upon the WoW Community; JD gives flesh to it's existance.
Well, thank for your time. I hope that you have a great day. Slay many internet dragons, and may Epix fall like glorious rain!
<realname redacted>
aka – Zwingli of Zwingli's Blog 😉
<edited b/c i typo 2 much!>
You know, now that I've re-read it… I wish I could go back and edit it again and add stuff to Ms. Poisso. More things about the God Mother and TotA in particular. I could have fleshed those out more in the email. Oh My Gosh! I also see where I mispelled some words! Call Me Durpy!

"Some of the courses he's taking are unbelievable. I can't even spell them," said Terry McKaig, his coach at UBC. "He's an academic kid and he has a great head on his shoulders."
How does that apply to baseball? It proves that he's not afraid to work hard, that he won't shy away from a difficult challenge. Francis isn't the kind of player who will go out there and just try to rely on his natural talent. He will study the game, he will give himself the best chance at success.
"A lot of people don't understand what I study, but I think it's interesting," Francis said. "Being a student helps a lot of ways. I don't apply physics to baseball, but it helps you be able to focus."
When he came out of high school, Francis wasn't a highly regarded prospect. He wasn't drafted, not even as a late-round flier. He only threw fastballs in the mid-80s and hadn't yet grown to his current height.
One thing, though, was constant. He was still an exceptional student and even entertained ideas of attending an Ivy League college. In the end, the high cost of an American education and the overwhelming distance from his home convinced him to attend UBC. That way, he could stay close to his family, get a top-notch education and still pursue his baseball dream.
That type of pedigree is important to talent evaluators. They can sit around and argue about baseball skills all day, but the intangibles are generally black-and-white.
"Those types of special people are the kind that you want to hang your hat on," said Kevin Briand, a scout and manager of amateur baseball for the Blue Jays. "You know that your investment is going to be well worth it because they're going to give you everything they have."
"He's a real student of the game. You just don't see that at the college level," McKaig said. "Scouts want dirt on him and I say, 'Hey, you're going to be looking for a while.'"
Draft order | Rules | FAQ
Bullington goes first
Complete Draft coverage
His freshman year, before his sudden growth spurt, was an ordinary rookie campaign. Five inches, 15 pounds and 8 mph later, Francis was a bona fide Canadian legend. During his second season, he threw six shutouts. At one point, he threw 46 straight scoreless innings.
When it was all said and done, he had posted one of the best seasons in the history of college baseball, even if only a few people noticed in the United States. Francis went 12-3 in that campaign with an incredible 0.92 ERA. Yes, you read right -- 0.92, in almost 100 innings pitched.
"That's something that we'll never see again, especially with aluminum bats," McKaig said. "It's kind of mind-boggling, that a pitcher with that many innings could have an ERA under 1."
"That season was amazing," Francis said. "I still look back and wonder how I did that."
Even with that phenomenal season, McKaig had to make a tremendous amount of phone calls to get Francis involved with a summer league. Finally, he managed to get him enrolled in the Alaskan League, which is roughly similar to the Cape Cod.
It's a wooden bat league, designed only for professional prospects, jam-packed with Division I players. Did Francis hold his own there? He did better than that -- he was named the MVP.
"It was huge to be able to compete and succeed against the top hitters in the country," he said. "I think that I proved to the scouts that I could compete."
"It's kind of mind-boggling, that a pitcher with that many innings could have an ERA under 1."
-- UBC coach Terry McKaig
He handled that in fine form. Francis went 7-2 with a 1.93 ERA. Opposing hitters batted just .171 off him, an impressive stat no matter what league he plays in. Finally, after months of anticipation and an entire lifetime of dreaming, the big day is drawing near.
"I'm getting more and more nervous every day," he said. "I'll probably wait by the phone with my family."
"I was just expecting to compete," Francis said of his college experience. "It's taken me further than I ever imagined."
So, what's the best educated guess? How long will it take him to make the Major Leagues, if in fact he ever does? Francis didn't feel comfortable putting a time-frame on it, but his coach was willing to hazard a casual prediction.
"I really think he has the ability to be there within three years," McKaig said. "He has some things to work on, but he's the best that I've coached, for sure."

Spring 2010 Anime Lineup Coming Soon!
at first i was just going to watch k-on!! but then i thought i'd also check out kissxsis since its some quality stuff... and there it started.
neko overrun just looks cool since i can hardly imagine a bad anime about catgirls ^^, and then angel beats! with the awesome preview, and then suddenly the first episode of Working!! made me laugh so hard i nearly died... so now there are 5 animes in the spring season i'd love to watch and it hasnt even started yet o_O
go crunchyroll!) i hope you're going to pick up at least one of those ^_^
ruby *_*
Only looking forward to Angel Beats and Romance of the three kingdoms. I'll probably check out like 2 others but that's about it. Not a big fan of moe either..
Edit- spelled angle lulz
Smilin' every day
Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan sounds really interesting.
I'm looking forward to it:D
Keep up the good work!
The world? Pff, what a joke.
kaicho wa maid sama X-X!!!!! i want you !!!!1 the manga has been amazing!!!
I like cute things
K-ON and Kaichou wa Maid Sama would be awesome
Rawr :3
hey shinji please i have been your biggiest fan you are probably the smartest person i know i am only in middle school but you are my hero please believe me i am not an old man or a freak who stalks you i am a Christan

Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xDDDDD for spring
|✿ ONE PIECE✿| ღ
Nice !
i can't wait.
ill always love you. </3
Excellent to hear this and thanks everydaygamer for posting the overall anime list for Spring which is pretty loaded. Oh if CR could get Heroman I'm intrigued by the crossover of companies doing that one! Looking forward to hearing the CR previews too of what they picked up!
Here, there, everywhere! Online in random spurts when I can be!
rainy_days_and_days wrote:
Whatever it is it will be ecchi and magical girl.
Up to a point. I sincerely doubt they will bother with Kiss x Sis, for example.
Watch out for cat tails...
I only want to watch Major season six and Giant Killing. Both of them are sports anime so it is unlikely CR will get them. The rest of the lineup I don't care for.
I hope there are more Korean drama coming to CR.
can't wait
mew mew mew!
Hmm, since they picked up Soranowoto, I guess they at least have a chance to get K-On. But that show is so popular it might eat the entire budget for the season. The new season of Shin Koihime Mousou is almost a given since they have the first two seasons.
The pilot preview of Working! looked decent. Nothing spectacular, but decent. Kaichou wa Maid-sama is another rom-com that looks like it's right up CrunchyRoll's alley, regardless of quality.
Kiss x Sis is probably too hot to handle for streaming here even in broadcast form. Same goes for B Gata H Kei (a romantic comedy about a girl who wants to have 100 sex partners by the time she graduates???). I also doubt they'll pick up Ookiku Furikabatte, since sports anime haven't played too well in the states. Maybe they can pick it up cheap, though.
Some of the fantasy-oriented ones look like they could be interesting: Arakawa under the Bridge or Angel Beats for example.
Don't see any credible candidates for this season's shoujo anime. Uragiri wa Boku... looks like yaoi rather than shoujo, though it's hard to tell from just the chart.
I suppose CR could jump onto the Da Capo wagon a bit late and get the back-list episodes of the original 4 seasons thrown in. Overall I suspect there'll only be a couple of series that CR picks up that are really worth watching and a couple of others I'll watch simply for lack of anything better.
Watch out for cat tails...

by Keb » Thu May 09, 2013 11:13 pmX-Statix Omnibus by Peter Milligan, Michael Allred & friends
Reading this just reminds me how awesome the x-titles could be at the turn of the century. While other titles were playing second string to New X-Men, this book was really doing something different. The fact that the series tackles celebrity and uniqueness in such an in-your-face manner makes it one of the better x-series of recent years. How it shifts X-Force from another run of the mill title to something completely out of left field is what makes this series stand out so well. I really enjoyed how Milligan managed to make this book feel like a mutant hero title with X-Force and then take it to a different level with X-Statix.
My problem with X-Statix was that the relationship between some characters was forced. Everyone was paired off but the nice thing was Phat and Vivisector weren't forced on the reader. Orphan and Venus Dee Milo were. Otherwise it was fun. I like how these characters are both ironic and shallow but manage to project deep personalities. The series definitely began its descent to cancellation with Spike Freeman's death though. The last story did managed to make me laugh. The final issue however was weird because the emotional investment was weird. I didn't like Guy, Tike or Venus so I didn't care how they died. I did like how every character was fair game and that some of them just had useless, meaningless deaths (El Guapo specifically). However, I think that also gives readers the incentive to not get attached to the characters.
Artistically every artist that worked on the series made the book. My favorite was Darwyn Cooke on the Wolverine/Doop 2-parter.he just threw in so many fun visuals and being from Toronto it was fun to guess which streets he was drawing in certain panels. Laura Allred's coloring really defined how vibrant the series was though. Mike Allred drew great Avengers too. I could really appreciate the bizarre mutations he drew as well. The only artist I felt didn't fit was Paul Pope.
The Dead Girl mini was kinda dumb and I thought it was unnecessary. I guess they did it to milk some cash off X-Statix fans before they all moved on. Felt more like Milligan was just having fun with his favorite dead characters. Kind of a throwaway mini if you ask me. Didn't get the Brotherhood issue in the middle of X-Force either. Even the shorts at the end were quick reads not worth noticing.
Overall its a good buy for $40. I would recommend the omnibus to people who want X-Men but don't want the continuity and crap that comes along with them.

Danger Club Vol. 1: Death - Imagine if DC or Marvel were to do an event comic where all the main heroes and even their villains were to go into space to fight some cosmic level threat...but didn't return. Now imagine that same world and the sidekicks are the only "heroes" left. They have no idea what happened to their partners, they have no idea if they are ever coming back, and they have to assume that whatever the heroes went to stop is still on it's way to Earth.
Damn. Landry Walker and Eric Jones waste no time dropping you right into the middle of a thriving universe filled with superheroes, mystery, and intrigue. Danger Club Vol. 1 picks up 3 months after the heroes of Earth have disappeared. Walker does a fantastic job introducing the reader to a rich world, filled with it's own mythology but he doesn't bog you down with trying to tell you what happened before. We might not know what Kid Vigilante's origin story is but that doesn't stop Walker from making him and the rest of the cast of Danger Club into some of the most interesting and dynamic new characters around.
Artistically, this book is gold. Eric Jones is a superstar. This trade may have only been 4 issues but Jones is steady and solid the entire time. Bottom line, this trade is $10 and it is an absolute steal. Buy it and enjoy!

You should give it a shot. It's a quick but good read and it's only $10.
by Keb » Mon May 13, 2013 10:10 pmInvincible Iron Man Deluxe HC vol. 2 by Matt Fraction & Salvador Larocca
Chapeau was right about this one. The Stark: Resilient storyline was boooooooooooooooooooring as fuck! Still, I like the way this series treats every story with cinematic scope. Stark Disassembled was really good but it felt kind of inconsequential. Stark Resilient was actually quite good in retrospect, considering everything it did to set the status quo back, but there were times when I just wanted it to get going. There were some issues completely devoid of any action. Felt a bit Bendis-y. Overall, this wasn't as good as the first HC but still worth the money I paid. Still love the art even though they went back to Frank D'Armata for colors. If there was a 3rd deluxe HC, I'd definitely get it.
by Keb » Tue May 14, 2013 6:37 amSecret Avengers vol. 1: Mission to Mars by Ed Brubaker, Mike Deodato & Co.
Read this with Unlimited. Kinda meh. The team was pretty good but the plot was boring and I just felt bored. Much prefer the Remender Secret Avengers. The art was really good though.
by Keb » Tue May 14, 2013 8:59 amSecret Warriors vol. 1: Nick Fury Agent of Nothing by Jonathan Hickman, Stefano Casselli and Bendis
(Read on Unlimited). Good start to what looks like a total homage to Steranko Nick Fury. I like the teens. I like the howling commandos. I like the hydra high order too. Even gorgon (but I didn't want him to ever come back). Art was fantastic. Please tell me this guy is still working at Marvel. I'd love to see him dohigher profile stuff. Looking forward to delving into this.

Guardian Installed SecureDrop Outside The UK, Due To Legal Threats
from the incredible dept
The Guardian's SecureDrop system is installed outside of the UK. Last year, the UK government was criticized by international press freedom organisations for applying pressure to the Guardian over its publication of the NSA documents leaked by Snowden, leading to the news organization relocating its reporting on the files to the USA, and destroying all copies of the documents stored in its UK headquarters.In other words, the Guardian, a UK newspaper, is admitting that it simply doesn't feel safe locating its SecureDrop implementation inside the UK. For people who believe in press freedom in the UK, this is a pretty scary statement -- just the latest in the past few years that have really called into question the UK's support for a free and open press.

I am using Visual Studio 2008
I have a custom control and can't seem to understand how to add a click event. My file is generic and has a usercontrol1 and usercontrol2. I am trying to add a click event to create a folder on my desktop.
Can anyone help? If someone can look at my solution and then explain what they did to make a click event so I can learn and not have to ask again
(when this control is added to a form I need it to always create a folder on the desktop.... Also, I need a label name on the control that can be changed by the user and the folder name will be the name the user adds to the control).

Coach Darryl Sutter had a solution Wednesday to the Kings' penalty-killing woes during Monday's 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames. Don't take so many penalties. Don't take them in bunches. Don't make it easy for the opposition to get so many scoring opportunities.
The Flames scored three times with the man-advantage, ending the Kings' streak of 14 consecutive successful penalty kills. The Kings scored a power-play goal and also had a short-handed tally, underscoring the importance of special-teams play.
The Kings' penalty killing is clicking at a respectable 83.7 percent (7 for 43), ranking 12th in the NHL going into tonight's home game against the Phoenix Coyotes, which made their 50 percent success rate (3 for 6) against the Flames so noteworthy.
"I think it's based more on the amount of time we're out there, right?" Sutter said. "Every team, if you give them more than three opportunities, they're going to get opportunities, meaning, we took too many penalties."
The Kings made it through the first period without visiting the penalty box, but then couldn't seem to stay out of it. Worst of all, center Anze Kopitar took a holding penalty in the neutral zone with 2:12 remaining and the Flames scored the winning goal with 30 seconds left.
"We took too many penalties," Sutter said. "We took six penalties after the 2-minute mark of the second period. If you killed all of them, that's 12 minutes (short-handed). That's 12 out of 38 minutes. Our best penalty killer is 'Kopi' by far, and the penalty that's taken (last), he gets to watch it."
Sutter ranked Trevor Lewis as the Kings' second-best penalty killer. It almost goes without saying that goaltender Jonathan Quick is actually the Kings' best penalty killer, what with his customary array of quality saves whenever the team is short-handed.
"We have good penalty killing because of our goaltending," Sutter said.
Avoiding penalties is always the first step, though.
"You have to learn how to do that," Sutter said of playing a hard-nosed but legal game. "It wasn't a very disciplined team at one point, and if you look at teams that aren't very disciplined the last few years, they have a hard time making the playoffs."
Who are those guys?
Sutter shuffled his lines, mixing and matching his players for Wednesday's practice. Whether he sticks with it is anyone's guess. He made some significant changes for last week's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a 5-1 loss, but stayed with it for all of one shift.
"We're trying 'Marty' on left wing and would like Jeff at center during some practices to stay sharp," Sutter said, referring to defenseman Alec Martinez and right wing Jeff Carter. "One line was a power-play line, so that's what you can read into it."
Scouting the Coyotes
Veteran center Mike Ribeiro has nine points (five goals, four assists) in his last seven games for Phoenix (6-2-2), including two goals in each of his last two games. Not coincidentally, the Coyotes have recorded at least one point in seven consecutive games.
Phoenix right wing Shane Doan had what the club described as an upper-body injury and he didn't play in Tuesday's home victory over the Flames. Doan was examined by a doctor Tuesday in Phoenix and his status was said to be day-to-day.

The three least appealing NFL games in 2013
Robert Deutsch/USA TODAY Staff
The 2013 NFL schedule has been finalized and released, and while it's important to look at the prime-time meetings or games with relocated players against former teams, it's fun to also scope out the most likely hot garbage fires of the season.
Below, we've found three games that you'll only watch through the box scores, and that's only if you have one of the team's players on your fantasy squad. Keep in mind that, just like ranking the most potentially entertaining games in 2013, a lot of stuff can change from now until Sept. 5. To make this more fun, divisional matchups are exempt. Breathe easy, AFC West. Also, no team will be featured twice, or we'd be here all day laughing at the Jaguars' entire schedule.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Oakland Raiders
Sunday, Sept. 15, 4:25 p.m. ET
Keys for Jacksonville: Mike Sims-Walker. Laurent Robinson. Who's going to be this season's No. 3 receiver who turns into a starter due to lack of competition in Jacksonville? The current favorite is Taylor Price.
Keys for Oakland: Will Sebastian Janikowski score all the points for his team in this game? That's no dig at Janikowski; he can kick. Really, though, expect the Raiders' points total to be a multiple of three in this game.
Buffalo Bills at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sunday, Dec. 8, 1 p.m. ET
Keys for Buffalo: There are no keys for the Bills. There is just this tweet.
Also, when Bills fans are watching their team's production on the field this season, just remember that at least your general manager is easy to speak with.
Keys for Tampa Bay: Will head coach Greg Schiano yell at his team more often this season? (Probably.) Will they be better as a result of that? (Probably not.)
Cleveland Browns at New York Jets
Sunday, Dec. 22, 1 p.m. ET
Keys for Cleveland: Quarterback Brandon Weeden, who will be in his second season, is two months older than Aaron Rodgers. This is your reminder of that fact. Rodgers has won a Super Bowl. Weeden lost a battle against a flag.
Keys for New York: Mark Sanchez had 32 turnovers last season. Hopefully he worked on reining in that tendency a little bit. Hopefully.

NWSB insider and Washington Huskies blogger Jason Green tells us Jake Locker did enough in 2011 to further cement the fact that he'll have a fine NFL career with the Tennessee Titans.

Middlebury, Vt.—Seniors Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Sean Cullen (Medway, Mass.) represented UMass Boston men's tennis Friday afternoon at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) New England Regional Championship at Middlebury College.
The Beacons senior pair, each competing in the tournament for a second consecutive season, kicked off the defending Little East Conference Champions season, that was capped off with a trip to the NCAA Tournament last May.
In doubles, the pair dropped a tough 8-4 match to Colby Sawyer College's duo of Nathan Tascherau and Myles Utell. The Beacons and Chargers will face off in a dual match Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. in New London, New Hampshire.
Lai and Cullen also participated in singles action, with both players failing to overcome their talented opponents.
Lai dropped a 6-1, 6-0 decision to MIT's Edwin Zhang, the third-ranked player in the 64-player bracket.
Cullen didn't fare much better, dropping a 6-0, 6-2 decision to Bowdoin College's Eric Chien.
