bigrichie needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 86 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
Three tshirt designs are required for an upmarket men's designer brand of casual / streetwear. Images supplied in the comments section, enhancements and creativity need to be applied.
big richard
Three screenprint / silkscreen designs are required for a designer brand of men's clothing, 'big richard', which is set to launch soon. The first line of tshirts will be inspired by and feature imagery from 1930's and 40's men's adult magazines (which i have provided links to in the comments section of the contest). I need you to craft the brand a very distinct look, featuring these old-school retro sexual images juxtaposed with vectors and/or other elements of modern styling. Also, each image should be given a faded/eroded treatment.
If the big richard brand could be described in four words it would be cool, cheeky, sexy and masculine. The designs need to encapsulate this. Obviously, the brand has a certain humour to it (if you're not sure why you'll need to ask a native english speaker what richard is long for) and even though the brand will feature certain slogans, it will not be a jokey brand known only for its slogans, the brand will be positioned upmarket as a stylish, cheeky brand of designer men's clothing. Think Diesel / Gstar / Modern Amusement.
For the winner(s) there will be lots more work - more tshirt designs, marketing materials, logos, branding work etc
ps would highly recommend everyone read the comments section as i have included more info there
- 1 tshirt must have the slogan 'girls love big richard' written in very large bold letters that look cool, cheeky, sexy and masculine. There should probably be a very subtle background image or vector that compliments the slogan also.
- The other two should be of your own design, inspired by and utilising some of the imagery in the pictures i have uploaded, with some vector elements thrown in to add contrast and modern styling to the retro images
- Each design should have between 1 and 4 colours in it. I colour designs are fine if it suits. 2, 3, 4 colour designs are fine. 5 or more colours are not.
- All tshirts will be 100% cotton and tshirt colours will be whites, creams, yellows, greens, reds, pinks, often faded or washed.
- Be creative - consider where you will position the design on the shirt, use bold colours, use distinctive effects
- Each design should be given a faded/eroded treatment
- tshirts i like - (99designs doesnt allow me to include links in here so please see the comments section to get an idea of tshirts i like)
- tshirts i dont like (99designs doesnt allow me to include links in here so please see the comments section to get an idea of tshirts i dont like)

I think I get the gist of it.
But I don't really like it.
The ending is implying there is no room in the world for man, only woman.
That just seems off.
If Shouma had returned the apple to Kanba, and thus Kanba and Himari were united (probably in death) and Ringo and Shouma were united (by Shouma sharing the price with her or something), then the ending would have felt whole.
This way it feels like man is forever sundered from woman.

So the real pairing in this series is KanbaxShouma!
Lol, joking aside, it seems sharing the apple of fate means becoming the family of each other, not a lover as it shows in the Takakura family. Actually the ending really confused me especially those transfer of fate. Who saved who actually? I thought Shouma sacrificed himself for Kanba, but Kanba died too, then Ringo transfer the fate to save Himari, right? I'm really bad at interpreting those symbolism things....

Uwaaaa... And there goes the ending. I think it was perfect. Bittersweet, but I liked the way everything turned out. I don't cry all that much, but my eyes were tearing up near the ending, and after Himari saw the bear with the note, I brought out the waterworks... So sad... I'm happy for them though. I'm glad that Himari and Ringo stayed friends, that Kanba and Shouma became real brothers, glad for Tabuki and Yuri, and for Masako... But I think that the dream and the bear with the note will haunt them forever.
And I can't help but wonder... do Yuri and Tabuki remember anything? It would be weird if they didn't and awkward if they did... Imagine them running into one of the those four O.O
The music was very fitting.
Anyway, I'm really happy. I guess I'll rewach this series once again after a while. It has become one of my all time favourites

There were just so many things I loved in this episode. I just loved the scene in which Kanba gives half his apple to Shouma. Just shows how he cares about everyone in his family. And that ending T_T. It wasn't happy but it was better than anything I expected from the way last few episodes were going. Bittersweet ending really suits this anime.
And I am sure RingoXShouma fans were happy with this episode
Oh and that ending scene with Shouma and Kanba walking and Kanba saying death is just the beginning was just beautiful. And here whole series he believed death was the end of everything

You know who talks about boxes? Sanetoshi talks about boxes.
The Apple is a gift for those "chosen to die for love".
Who gets the Apple? People who have the Scorpion Soul.
So what did Shouma give back to Kanba this episode? His Scorpion Soul.
lol, probably it ran out or something 'cause the PoC sucked too much out of him. So Shouma had to give it back.
If you stay in the box you turn invisible. You don't amount to anything. You also die. That's why Sanetoshi wanted to get out.
But, if you die for love instead, then you get the Apple. And then it's just the beginning, or something like that.
I'mma ship Himari x Ringo, then Himari x Kanba when they somehow get back together again, lol. Forceful delusion happy end, whooo!
Random troll thought at the end of the anime: anyone wanna go count who we saw naked more, Himari or Ringo? :P

That was a very nice and dramatic final episode. I do like how things went full circle here, as Kanba-shouta and Shouma-shouta had the same conversation here as those two boys had way back in Episode 1.
Part of me would have preferred a happier end, but all-told, this was pretty good. I'll probably have more to say on this tomorrow, when I'm more well-rested.
For now, though, let me just say (somewhat jokingly ) I called it!
Himari's "fated one" was indeed... Ringo!
Himari, by her own words, feels relaxed in Ringo's presence, and Ringo makes sure that Himari is not lonely. With the beautiful but tragic sacrifice of the brothers, there's no male to stand in the way of their inevitable bond.
Yuri end FTW!
Sorry, but I couldn't resist, because it is a bit funny given my wild (and admittedly pretty far off) speculations of three months back.
In complete seriousness, both the Ringo/Shouma and Kanba/Himari pairs had lovely final moments together, and I'm pretty pleased with them.
I will also say that the seiyu work in this show was simply all-around fantastic, and this episode certainly showcased that nicely. I hope that the seiyu for the four main characters, as well as Sanetoshi, all get more roles soon. This anime had excellent emoting from its actors/actresses.

Its ridiculous, I will not argue if you call the ending is shitty n ruining the series... And I'm not understanding anything in this eps, not any shit of it... But wow, I just couldn't hold my tears, I'm feel really sad watching the second half, seriously Ikuhara is just weird guy.

I'm still pretty much speechless from everything I've just watched. I just don't know. Almost everything still doesn't make sense, but I just can't deny the emotional impact. *sobbing*
Eschaton from tvtropes gave a very interesting speculation of this final episode and the series as a whole. I'm still a bit confused about the "apple sharing" parts, but it definitely gave me a much better understanding of the symbolisms of Penguindrum. A very worthy read.

So, that ending. I grabbed this episode this morning before I set off to work as I couldn't wait, and my head is still fizzing.
Visually it was a stunning episode, completely electrifying and fabulous max!
Spoiler for Seizon Senryaku!:
I think what Ikuhara has created here is a show that people are still going to be talking about years in the future, discussing its symbolism and meaning.
Yes, there may be a few hanging threads, and yes, I do think that perhaps Mario was meant to play a larger role but got sidelined for time constraints, but sometimes it's better when things don't all get explained away in the end, but left to the imagination ("Imagine!") of the viewer, to read into them what they may.
One of the best shows this year, in my honest opinion.

Btw Damn... still sobbing a bit here, haha...
Its just amazing how I cried a lot in Kanba/Shoma scene, because one of this show weakness that people often mentioning is they failed to make we give a damn to the charas of this show, and I must agree with that, they could done better job on that. But this last episode still manage to make me sad as hell about Kanba and Shoma sacrifices even with not understanding anything, that just weird... almost like some hypnotize.
I will really treasure this experiences, despite all the flaw of this show.

And I'm kind of happy the final two ships were Himari/Ringo & Kan/Sho, not what I was expecting but it works. I would have liked more K&S interaction as brothers before this ep though (really after the first two eps they were barely together). But I did love the scene when Kanba shared his apple with Shouma. Even though we don't know why they were in the box that was powerful stuff.
As for H&R their friendship was shown throughout the series so I'm happy they are together. Maybe I'm a little disappointed that Double H didn't have a larger presence in Himari's life at the end (in fact it appears in this reality she's just a fan.)

Pregnant woman, Venez National Guardsman killed
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A pregnant woman shot in the head and a National Guard soldier fired on as he tried to clear a roadway are the latest fatalities in violence tied to anti-government protests in Venezuela, authorities said Monday.
The head of Venezuela's congress, meanwhile, said a top opposition politician had lost her seat and is no longer immune from prosecution for allegedly fomenting violence in the anti-government protests.
The woman who was killed, 28-year-old Adriana Urquiola, died Sunday night in Guaicaipuro, said the mayor of the municipality just outside the capital of Caracas.
Five months pregnant, Urquiola was shot after she left a bus that was stuck in traffic because of a barricade built by anti-government protesters. She had begun walking toward the road block but didn't appear to have been participating in the protest. It was unclear when she was fired upon.
The National Guard member, Sgt. Miguel Antonio Parra, died Monday during a street demonstration in Merida, said the southwestern city's mayor, Carlos Garcia. The opposition politician said Parra was shot when he and two other National Guard soldiers were trying to clear the roadways and were confronted by protesters.
A series of protests against the government of President Nicolas Maduro began five weeks ago, less than a year after Maduro succeeded the late Hugo Chavez.
At least 32 people have died in the subsequent violence.
Political fallout from the protests continued.
Diosado Cabello, who heads the Venezuelan congress, said opposition lawmaker Maria Corina Machado had violated the constitution by addressing the Organization of American States last week at the invitation of Panama, which ceded its seat at the Washington-based group so she could provide regional diplomats with a firsthand account of the unrest.
Maduro referred to Machado as "ex-congresswoman" on Saturday, a few days after arresting two opposition mayors for allegedly conspiring with the U.S. to topple his 11-month-old administration.
Machado was in Lima, Peru, on Monday attending a conference organized by the International Foundation for Liberty.
"I know very well what my duties and rights are, and I'll keep fighting and working as a deputy of the National Assembly during these terrible hours through which Venezuela is passing," she told reporters.
She added that Cabello's actions "give us more strength and more reasons to continue the fight." She said she intends to return to Venezuela as soon as possible.

Old Towns
This article is a travel topic
An Old Town, or a historical district, is a preserved urban neighborhood of significant age, built before the emergence of rail travel, large-scale urban planning and high-rise construction in the mid-19th century. The oldest towns have existed since before the beginning of the Western calendar. Several Old Towns are recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
An Old Town is inhabited, in contrast to an archaeological site.
The Old Towns that exist today, are not necessarily the first settlements built at the location; many of them have been destroyed and rebuilt several times. Some Old Towns, such as Düsseldorf, have been restored to its former appearance in recent times.
Foreign-language terms for Old Towns:
Get around
Since the very purpose of Old Towns was to collect buildings with walking distance, Old Towns usually have narrow streets and even narrower alleys, where pedestrians move easier than automobiles.
Pre-modern cities typically had less than 100,000 inhabitants (with a few exceptions, such as Rome, Istanbul and Beijing) and were densely populated, so they are usually less than a kilometer across. Due to grade separation, staircases and cobblestone, travellers with disabilities might have difficulties to get through some points, as well as travellers with wheeled suitcases, strollers and bicycles.
Entering an Old Town by automobile can be physically impossible, illegal, or at least very difficult.
Architecture in Old Towns can be totally unique. Old Towns are usually dominated by city walls or other fortifications, together with palaces and religious buildings (churches, mosques etc). Non-government profane buildings can be prominent in merchant cities, such as Venice.
Several Old Towns are served by horse-carriage rides, in old-style carriages. These are often costly, far from genuine, and should primarily be considered if a guided tour is included.
Old Towns usually contain different kinds of shopping: arts and crafts, as well as mass-produced souvenirs and mundane shopping for local residents.
As Old Towns are frequented by tourists, meals can be overpriced, and hygiene might be deficient.
The accommodation inside the Old Towns is usually limited in size and comfort, compared to the Grand Old Hotels of the late-19th century. As rooms are rarely standardized, you should have a look at the room, or at least have a description, before you make the deal.
Stay safe
As Old Towns are often packed with travellers, be aware of common scams. Street lighting might be deficient in Old Towns.
Famous Old Towns
This list includes inhabited urban districts of decent size and population, that have remained largely intact since around 1850, or have been faithfully restored to that state.
A few South European cities date back to the Roman Empire, while most were founded during the Middle Ages (AD 500-1500). Some of them bear scars from warfare. Several Old Towns were once independent city-states, but just a few of them fly their own flag today (Monaco, San Marino etc).
Middle East
The Middle East contains many of the world's oldest cities, some of them inhabited for several thousand years.
In the Americas, there are just a few colonial Old Towns from the time between the European arrival in 1492, and the independence movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of these are in the Caribbean, or in the coastal areas of Latin America.

LABCAR products are used for laboratory tests of automotive control systems (ECUs). According to test conditions, LABCAR stimulates the ECU via sensor inputs and network ports. This allows users to observe and to measure the ECUs response in absence of physical vehicle. In essence, LABCAR simulates a real vehicle, making the ECU under test believe that it is in its real operating environment. A typical LABCAR installation consists of four components: software to control the experiments, hardware to stimulate and measure the ECU inputs and outputs, models in Simulink or Stateflow to describe the system being controlled by the ECU under test, and software to create and automatically execute complex test scenarios.
Developers can test the ECU in all realistic operating and fault conditions with perfect repeatability and in improbable and dangerous conditions before live driving situations. For a lot of tests, LABCAR can replace physical prototypes of engines, transmissions, brakes. With LABCAR, developers can test early and fast. OEMs and Tier-One's rely on ETAS' experience with automotive ECU testing to accelerate ECU development and to help mitigate exposure to warranty repairs, recall, and liability suits.

I noticed both of you said there was a writing requirement, but what did that consist of. Did it entail taking a course or did you just need to get something published?
However, she went into overkill and sadly I do not think I know everything I should about easements etc, which are more likely to come up in real life.

To say that speech has ceased for the first Jhana is to imply that it is impossible. That may be a semantic difference, but the implication is clear that speech and Jhana never occur together. As for hearing, you're correct that hearing may continue up to the fourth Jhana, at which point it is definitely not possible. My mistake.Ñāṇa wrote:Stopping speaking doesn't entail being incapable of speaking. As for hearing, this is only mentioned as such in the Kathāvatthu, and pertains to the placement of attention, not the non-fucntioning of the ear faculty. There are suttas and commentaries which suggest limiting the latter to the formless attainments.
Cetaso Abhiniropana or "application of mind" is listed as a synonym for vitakka, which implies that vitakka it is not at all a conscious thought process but instead a non-conceptual attention. However, it is correct to say that only the second Jhana fully eliminates even the most subtle of direct mental intention. I guess it depends on how you define thinking.This interpretation isn't supported by the suttas, the Abhidhammapiṭaka, nor by the Peṭakopadesa:

CRESTVIEW � Lime balloons and homemade signs on Saturday complemented green T-shirts on attendees� backs to educate people about Lyme disease.
CRESTVIEW � Lime balloons and homemade signs on Saturday complemented green T-shirts on attendees� backs to educate people about Lyme disease.
Key Lyme Time at Old Spanish Trail Park last weekend raised funds for lymedisease.org, with a portion benefiting the Nikki Murray Lyme Disease Fund, a medical expense account for its namesake, a Crestview native.
Zumba demonstrations, children's activities and food vendors provided plenty to do and eat. The event also featured door prizes.
Divine intervention
Connie Murray, Nikki�s mother, organized the occasion.
"The reason we did this was because Nikki had a dream when she was in treatment. God told her that she needed to have an awareness event in Crestview to let people in our hometown know about Lyme disease," Connie Murray said. "I had to do this for her and to help prevent this from happening to other people."
Nikki Murray, 26, contracted the disease following a tick bite in 2008. Ticks are the disease�s main carrier.
"It literally took over all of the parts of my body," Nikki Murray, who lives and works in Tallahassee, said. "I have chronic arthritis, which will never go away."
Other ailments include fatigue, muscle soreness and migraines strong enough to cause temporary blindness.
The most frustrating thing about the disease is the lack of awareness, she said.
"I was placed on a plethora of medications that had terrible side effects and never made me any better," Nikki Murray stated in a handout at the event. "No one ever looked at the big picture to see if there was possibly a single underlying cause."
Nikki Murray plans to file an appeal with her health insurance company, which declined coverage for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Each HBOT session costs $150, and Nikki Murray said she needs at least 40 sessions for it to be effective.
Teachable moment
Key Lyme Time underscored the importance of awareness, some attendees said.
"I think we all need to know more about this ... because it's a shame that (Nikki Murray) didn't get diagnosed earlier," said Wanda Austin of Niceville. "If this event could help someone get diagnosed early, then that is good thing."
Bidi Wilks said awareness efforts like Saturday�s could promote preventive efforts.
"I don't think everybody who takes children into the woods knows to check them (for ticks) when they come back," she said. "I know I do."
Wilks said she admires Nikki Murray�s resilience.
"I admire her courage and her spirit," Wilks said. "None of this has seemed get her down."

Topic DescriptionSpecific Challenge:
The European transport sector must have the capacity to deliver the best products and services, in a time and cost efficient manner, in order to preserve its leadership and create new jobs, as well as to tackle the environmental and mobility defies. The role of SMEs to meet these challenges in all the areas of the Transport Specific Programme[1] is critical as they are key players in the supply chains. Enhancing the involvement of weaker players in innovation activities as well as facilitating the start-up and emergence of new high-tech SMEs is of paramount importance. SMEs are pivotal for delivering the innovations needed for greater sustainable and smarter mobility, better accessibility and logistics serving business and citizens, and thus higher economic growth, in a context where the majority of population lives in urban and urbanised areas. Actions to develop new services, products, processes, technologies, systems and combinations thereof that contribute to achieving the European transport and mobility goals defined in the 2011 Transport White Paper could be particularly suited for this call.Scope:
The SME instrument consists of three phases, including a coaching and mentoring service for beneficiaries. Participants can apply to phase 1 or directly to phase 2.
In phase 1, a feasibility study shall be developed in order to verify the technological/practical as well as economic viability of an innovation idea/concept with considerable novelty to the industry sector in which it is presented (new products, processes, design, services and technologies or new market applications of existing technologies). The activities could, for example, comprise risk assessment, market study, user involvement, Intellectual Property (IP) management[2],
innovation strategy development, partner search, feasibility of concept and the like to establish a solid high-potential innovation project aligned to the enterprise strategy and with a European dimension. Bottlenecks in the ability to increase profitability of the enterprise through innovation shall be detected and analysed during phase 1 and addressed during phase 2 to increase the return in investment in innovation activities. The proposal should contain an initial business plan based on the proposed idea/concept. It should outline the specifications of a more elaborate business plan, which is to be the outcome of the project, and the criteria for success.
Funding will be provided in the form of a lump sum of EUR 50.000. Projects should last around 6 months.
In phase 2, innovation projects[3]
will be supported that address the specific challenges identified and that demonstrate high potential in terms of company competitiveness and growth underpinned by a strategic business plan. Activities should focus on innovation activities such as demonstration, testing, prototyping, piloting, scaling-up, miniaturisation, design, market replication and the like aiming to bring an innovation idea (product, process, service etc.) to industrial readiness and maturity for market introduction, but may also include some research. For technological innovation, Technology Readiness Levels of 6 or above (or similar for non-technological innovations) are envisaged; please see part G of the General Annexes.
Proposals shall be based on an elaborate business plan. Particular attention must be paid to IP protection and ownership; applicants will have to present convincing measures to ensure the possibility of commercial exploitation ('freedom to operate').
Proposals shall contain a specification for the outcome of the project and criteria for success. They will include an explanation of how the results of the supported project are to be commercialised and of what kind of impact on the company is expected.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 0.5 and 2.5 million[4]
would allow phase 2 to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts (higher or lower). Projects should last between 12 and 24 months. [5]
Phase 3 of the SME Instrument aims to increase the economic impact of the funding provided by the SME Instrument phase 1&2 grants and by the business coaching. Phase 3 is not subsequent to phase 1 and/or 2, but provides specific support to SME instrument beneficiaries during and after phase 1 or 2.
All support under phase 3 of the SME instrument will be accessible through a single, dedicated entry point, which will serve as an information portal and a networking space.
This platform will offer access to two main strands of services:
- Access to markets
- Access to finance
In addition, phase 3 will create opportunities for partnering, networking and training, which are set out in the Dedicated Support Actions at the end of this call.
SME Instrument beneficiaries are also offered dedicated business innovation coaching and mentoring support. This service is facilitated by the Enterprise Europe Network and delivered by a dedicated coach through consultation and signposting to the beneficiaries. The coaches are recruited from a central database managed by the Commission and have all fulfilled stringent criteria with regards to business experience and competencies.
Throughout the three phases of the instrument, the Network will complement the coaching support by providing access to its innovation and internationalisation service offering. This could include, for example, depending on the need of the SME, support in identifying growth potential, developing a growth plan and maximising it through internationalisation; strengthening the leadership and management skills of individuals in the senior management team and developing in-house coaching capacity; developing a marketing strategy or raising external finance.Expected Impact:
- Enhancing profitability and growth performance of SMEs by combining and transferring new and existing knowledge into innovative, disruptive and competitive solutions seizing European and global business opportunities.
- Market uptake and distribution of innovations[6] tackling the specific challenges in a sustainable way.
- Increase of private investment in innovation, notably leverage of private co-investor and/or follow-up investments.
- The expected impacts should be clearly described in qualitative and quantitative terms (e.g. on turnover, employment, market seize, IP management, sales, return on investment and profit).
[1]Council Decision of 3 December 2013 establishing the specific programme implementing Horizon 2020 - the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (2014-2020), Part III – 4. Smart, green and integrated transport.
[2]This is not limited to the costs of acquiring and enforcing European or international IPR titles but could include auditing and risk management schemes to protect IP assets across planned supply and distribution chains and more generally IP valorisation plans to enhance return on investment and lever commercial investment into the relevant project.

- Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from Horizon 2020 actions
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Open access to research data
The Open Research Data Pilot has been extended to cover all Horizon 2020 topics for which the submission is opened on 26 July 2016 or later. Projects funded under this topic will therefore by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out under the conditions described in annex L of the Work Programme. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
- Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs.
- Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.

More Important Performance: Nussmeier or Mattison?
While the excitement over the firing of Al Borges and subsequent hiring of Doug Nussmeier to the offensive staff has risen the spirits of the fanbase, there's only one way to maintain this level of exuberance: Winning. Often. It takes outstanding performances on both sides of the ball in order to do this, though. While Borges failed to do his part in several games, there were other games where the opposite side of the ball made his job a lot harder than it had to be. i.e.) Akron (YES! I said it! No reason we should need to score more than 17 pts to beat Akron), Penn St, Indiana, Ohio St, Kansas St. As an offensive coordinator your job is tougher when you're forced to win shootouts. The reason teams like Alabama and this year's FSU have been so dominant is because their defenses don't force their offense to have to score 40 points to win, at least not very often. Everyone knows how 'Bama's defense has performed in their recent run. This year's FSU was 3rd in Total defense, 1st in Scoring defense giving up only 12.1 ppg (MSU gave up 13.2 ppg).
Upon arriving at Michigan in 2011, Mattison started out red hot with the 8th defense in the country giving up 17.2 ppg, 317.6 yds/g. We saw decline in 2012, dropping to a still respectable 17th defense in the country giving up 18.8 ppg, 311.2 yds/g. Which leads us to 2013, Michigan finished 41st in total defense giving up 26.8 ppg (66th in the country). Ouch. After the Indiana game, I know many weren't concerned given the dynamic's of the Hoosiers' offense. By season's end we saw the UM defense get gashed time and time again. While most of the year's blame has fallen solely on the gorgeous one, Greg Mattison's defense did not hold up it's end of the bargain, either. I, for one, will be going into the 2014 season with my eyes on that side of the ball instead of just giving a free pass because of his name. We expected Borges to make in game adjustments to stop the bleeding, the same should be required of GMat. Not to take any blame away from Borges, but do you know what makes an inexperienced OL's job easier besides a new OC? A dominant defense.
With that said, which coordinator do you think will be under more pressure to perform? My answer is clear. Let's discuss and #GOBLUE

BT brings Wii-like remote control to PCs
Shake, rattle and roll
UK telco British Telecom has built an add-on for laptops, tablets and ultra-mobile PCs that allows users to control their computer simply by moving it around.
Called Balance, the unit plugs into a spare USB port. Inside, it contains a set of motion sensors similar to the detectors build into Nintendo's Wii Remote game controller. Special software converts feedback from the sensors into instructions for the host machine's Windows user interface.
Tilting the screen left or right, for example, could cause the cursor to move in the appropriate direction. Shaking it vigorously up and down could be set empty the Recycle Bin or restart the machine.
It'd certainly make an interesting add-on for driving games, we'd say.
However, BT has more practical uses in mind, in particular new ways to help the elderly and the disabled use computers, particular mobile devices which otherwise require the user to be able to work with a tiny keyboard.
It also has its eye on field-engineers who may need to control their computers with one hand.
It's nothing new, of course. Finnish technology firm MyOrigo gave The Register a demo of a phone that uses the same principles to make calls and surf the internet back in July 2003. MyOrigo's technology has yet to come to market, though it's keen to licence it to device manufacturers.
BT's unit is a little way off too: the company said the technology is still in development and being tested in the field.

A Republican-led plan to redraw Nassau County's 19 legislative districts will now head to the full Legislature, after the Rules Committee approved the proposal Monday afternoon in a 4-3 vote along party lines.
A Temporary Districting Advisory Commission, which was formed last year, as required by the county charter, failed to provide the Legislature with a recommended plan. Instead, the Republican and Democratic members of the commission each created their own map, neither of which garnered enough votes to move forward.
That left the creation of a map up to the Legislature. Presiding officer Norma Gonsalves (R-East Meadow) said that the plan presented on Monday was crafted with input from the Republican majority, its staff and Republican members of the commission.
The public comment period lasted four hours, as speaker after speaker blasted the latest proposal, which would drastically alter existing districts. Many residents were upset that "communities of interest" were being divided, such as the Five Towns, which would be split into four districts.
"Fundamental to redistricting is having districts that are compact, contiguous and reflect communities of interest," said Jane Thomas, co-president of the Nassau County League of Women Voters, citing several examples of communities all over Nassau County that were being split, including Hempstead village and Roslyn. She also pointed out a district that stretches from Garden City to Bethpage.
Mimi Pierre-Johnson, of Elmont, said that putting the plan forward represented a shameful day for the county. "This map is a snow job bigger than the snow we had on Friday," she said. "There's no secret that this is a sham.
"We elect you to represent us," Pierre-Johnson told the Legislators. "We do not want you to select those you think can keep your careers."
Peter Rosenthal, of the League of Women Voters, endorsed a nonpartisan map that was created by the Nassau County United Redistricting Coalition, a joint venture involving several civic engagement groups. Rosenthal said that the coalition's map takes into account the interests of the people, not the politicians.

Lincoln National Forest Open!
Check out the restrictions.
Nestled in the cool pine trees at nearly 7,000 feet in the Sacramento Mountains of South Central New Mexico, lies the vacation paradise of Ruidoso (pronounced "Rui-doe-so"). Ruidoso is the Spanish word for noisy. The village is named for the river that runs through it, the Rio Ruidoso or "Noisy River". The Rio Ruidoso has its headwaters up on the majestic 12,003 foot Sierra Blanca (White Mountain) that provides the back drop for our scenic village. The river winds through the beautiful Upper Canyon, the village of Ruidoso and finally down through the Hondo Valley.
"Where is Ruidoso?", You ask?
We are waiting for you to come and join us in some fun!
View Map
Spring/Summer in Ruidoso
"What can you do here?", you ask? Almost completely surrounded by the White Mountain Wilderness and the Lincoln National Forest, there is hunting (rifle, bow, muzzleloader and camera) for everything from turkey to elk, fishing, horseback riding, kite flying, backpacking, hiking, camping, skiing, tubing, sledding and lots of golf (golf all year round).
In the village itself is every kind of gift shop you can imagine (and some you can't imagine), go-carts for kids of all ages, children's boat ride, pony rides, mini-golf, maze, rock wall climb, coffee shops complete with wi-fi, clothing stores and any kind of restaurant from fast food to steak houses. A movie theater with three screens and venues for several live shows, including (during the summer months) a western shootout, authentic cowboy meal and music.
Relax with a pleasant stroll along the Rio Ruidoso near mid-town or on an exercise trail just minutes from the village, but giving you the feeling that you are miles back in the woods. In other words, you don't have to get a baby sitter to do things in Ruidoso, NM. Instead, why not use the opportunity to get closer to your family?
Ahhh.... Ruidoso...
Typical summer temperatures in the 80s and low humidity make this a great summer "get-a-way from the heat" village. On many winter days, you can ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon!

Make Ruidoso, NM this year's must see vacation destination for your family. You've got to see it to believe it!

Tom Hanks is in shipshape.
In his upcoming film Captain Phillips, the actor portrays real-life hero Richard Phillips, the American captain lauded for his bravery after Somali pirates attacked his ship in 2009.
But Hanks, 57, believes there is often a fine line between what defines a hero and a coward.
"I think by and large a third of people are villains, a third are cowards, and a third are heroes," the actor tells Parade. "Now, a villain and a coward can choose to be a hero, but they've got to make that choice."
Captain Phillips is the true story of the man who helmed the U.S.-flagged Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in 200 years.
And yet the real Captain Phillips doesn't consider himself a hero. He says he was just doing his job.
"You take the paycheck, you do the job," Phillips tells Parade. "As captain, you get all the blame, pretty much, and in this situation all the recognition, when it was 19 of my crew who were involved in it also."
Phillips even admits there have been other situations at sea that scared him more than the hijacking.
"I've had a fire in the engine room where I thought I had dead engineers. I've been through hurricanes," he says. "I feel glad I didn't lose any of my crew [on the Maersk Alabama]".
The Oscar-winning Hanks, who was recently nominated for a Tony for his work in the play Lucky Guy, says the captain's words simply demonstrate another aspect of heroism.
"I have never met someone who did a heroic thing who didn't say, 'I was just doing my job,'" the actor notes.
Hanks and Phillips hope moviegoers will take away some important lessons from the film, which opens Oct. 11.
"Rich puts this incredibly well," Hanks says of Phillips. "You can always try to do something. Keep moving forward. Keep trying stuff."
"Nothing is over until you give up," adds Phillips.

Some comments on the new boards
Great job so far, the forums look very good
I have a couple of comments:
The quick reply box: Wouldn't be quicker if you could directly type in the box instead of having to click a button in a message? (and use the button in the message to instantly move to the end of the page)
Specific anime forums: Could these forums be moved up again (putting them between Anime and BitTorrent sections like in the old board)?
Avatars: Unless I totally missed it, I can't see an option for custom avatars. Is this an oversight or people won't be able to use them?
So far that's all, lots of thanks for the effort and time you put into this!

care about threaded view, than thats ok -- what you

Custom avatars:
Er... They SHOULD be on. Anyone else having this problem?
I just checked again -- the settings are set to allow custom avatars.

I don't really understand or even see this 'threaded view'...
but if I have scroll up and click on something to 'quick reply' it kinda defeats the purpose when I can just click the normal "post reply" button...

I am just curious as to why you chose vb instead of ibf? ibf board has just been recently selected by amd along with other major website.
personally, i believe/feel that ibf has a much friendlier and administrative interface. beyond that, they have ibplanet.com, which include a massive amount of hacks/scripts that can truely benefit animesuki.
anywho, it isn't my place to say except to ask why vb rather then ibf.

I miss the "new posts" and "posts today" links.
Also about the post counter, why not just disable it in the threads, but keep it in the profile page?
Then it's no longer in plain sight, but it is still there.
I find it a useful tool to see if someone is spamming. (among other things)
With it out of sight, it will (hopefully) be less of a reason to spam.
Not that there is anything you can really do about spamming, except maybe a ban.
No other comments at this time. ^_^

Don't know much about IBF, but I think vBulletin is the premier Message Board software right now. Good choice, IMO.
Anyway, I wonder why the upload files feature of vB is not shown. Did you guys turn it off? I would've wanted to upload my desktop image and personal pic in their respective threads.

Timo: "New posts" links are available. See the five icons to the right of "Welcome, nick. You last visited: Yesterday at 23:33" on the top? The second icons is for "new posts".
My comments:
1) The "remember username/password" checkbox below the login boxes is always checked. I like security so I always have to uncheck it. Can that default be changed?
2) Same as LynnieS's request.
3) Can signatures be shown one per page like before?

Hehe...I am glad you changed to vBulletin. It loads now days fast (old one didn't, I don't know why). Only thing that I'd like to see is maybe userselectable skins. This skin is so boring It's really not important, but still is it would be nice ^^

One more request, the notification emails contain links like: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthre...5&goto=newpost
which directs to the latest post, my hotmail account however, really hates me for that, it always brings me to the last post on the first page for some reason. Could it be changed so it will point directly to the post the email was talking about?
If not, then I'll just have to live with it

POMONA, Calif. - Team
Dixon, who has 62 national event victories and is the second winningest Top Fuel driver in NHRA history, will team with three-time NHRA championship crew chief and team manager Lee Beard and the Rapisarda Autosport International racing team based in Brownsburg, IN.
Dixon captured NHRA Top Fuel titles in 2002, 2003 and 2010 and finished in the Top Ten in points for 17 consecutive years in NHRA Top Fuel competition. Beard is a three-time NHRA world champion crew chief and team manager with titles in 1989, 1992 and 2009.

"Prolong has a long history with drag racers and their wide variety of products can be used by any type of racing team. We're excited to have them as a sponsor for the 2013 season."
Prolong recently introduced its new 50W and 70W Prolong Nitro Racing Oils, that are designed to deliver extra protection and performance in alcohol- or nitromethane-fueled race engines.

May 19th – the first ever International Food Revolution Day!
Good on ya Mr Oliver, you certainly don't do things by halves. You take the bull by the horn (or in this case the school by the board) and you run with it. We are so, so with you, you and all the other sung and unsung food heroes, such as David Kessler (The End of Overeating), Michael Pollan (In Defense of Food), Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Fish Fight, River Cottage), Chef Anne Cooper (lunch lady extraordinaire), Annabel Langbein (The Free Range Cook), Stepanie Alexander (School Gardens program), Heidi Swanson (101cookbooks.com), Yotam Ottolenghi (Plenty) SAF (Raw Food Restaurant in London and Istanbul), and so many, many more.
Add in a few slightly less famous names such as the head at my son's school who allowed us to go in and try out our successful "Eat a Rainbow" cooking lessons, my friends like Jo, Antonio, Janet, Eva, Lisa and Bintou who like me love, love, love food cooked from scratch with tastes and flavours that sizzle and spring with joy in the mouth.
So, May 19th is the first ever International Food Revolution Day – see http://www.jamieoliver.com – and we support it from the bottom of our stomachs! Jamie suggests a number of things to celebrate the day – organzie a local food event, host a dinner party, find an event near you. This year May 19th falls on a Saturday so we won't be doing a school event but what we will do is bring some really healthy gorgeous snacks to our usual hockey and rugby matches. How about fruit kebabs, morning glory muffins, blueberry and apricot scones and some mini club sandwiches? This will put those crisps and hotdogs to shame (virtually the only food offered at our Dutch Clubrooms) or so we can but hope! And yes as the weather begins to clear (fingers and toes crossed) my thoughts are turning to picnics, picnics on beaches, picnics in gardens, picnics under woodland leaves and under stars. So, if the rains hold back we will be having a family picnic either on the edge of a sports ground or beside the blustery North sea, watching the surfies.
A few BIG, BIG wishes for local Food Revolutions (they are quite Large!)
One is that our kids demand healthy, gorgeous food from our senior school canteen with no compromise (and that they begin to understand that although good food doesn't have to be really expensive, it shouldn't be cheap) and school vending machines with healthy alternatives!
Two, that our school runs a summer fair that is a Good Ethical Food Fair with no candy floss or cheap hotdogs and spongey white bread!
Three, that sports & party centres stop stocking food like this stuff below- overprocessed, overcheap and over -yellow really!
So, here's one of my favourite picnic pie recipes to share with friends, relations and those who may become friends.
Spinach and a bit of Everything Filo Pastry Pie (top pic, not the one above!)
1 packet of filo pastry – thawed overnight in the fridge (I like the really long packs of filo not the small squares)
3 large organic eggs
300 grams of feta, crumbled or can use of mixture of feta parmesan, hard and soft cheeses such as mozzeralla
One box of EKO frozen spinach, thawed, and squeezed dry of excess water or a large bag of fresh spinach wilted and squeezed dry.
A quarter of a cup of pinenuts, gently fried in a heavy based pan with a tiny spray of olive oil
A handful of blanched almonds if you fancy
Sprigs of mint, washed, dried and torn (or coriander)
Some basil or fresh thyme
One large onion, chopped finely and fried until translucent
Pepper, freshly milled and a pinch of nutmeg
( and if you have some crusty bread past its best but not mouldy, pop in the food processor and whizz until it becomes crumbs)
A teaspoon of melted butter for brushing
Preheat the oven to 185 fan-bake. Lightly oil a baking tray or shallow pie dish.
This is a really simple recipe and will work as long as your frozen spinach has been squeezed dry of excess water. If you are using fresh spinach, wash carefully as it is often sandy then steam it in a little water and drain in a colander. Basically, you want a moist cheesy spinach mixture to place in the pastry, but if you think it's too runny then add some breadcrumbs or some more herbs and nuts, if you think it too dry, add another egg or some crème fraiche.
If you haven't used filo pastry before, the thing is not to let it dry out, so don't open the packet until the egg mixture is absolutely ready.
Beat your eggs in a largish bowl, add in the spinach, feta and any other cheeses, nuts, herbs, and mix well. Give it a generous shake of pepper and if you like some lemon zest. Mix well – it should be quite thick and not too runny.
Melt the butter and have a pastry brush ready.
Open the filo packet and spread 3-4 sheets on the bottom of the baking tray or in the pie dish. Arrange your egg mixture on the sheets, leaving a good edge for folding up around the edges. Tuck the pastry around the mixture and now lay 2-sheets on the top of your mixture and tuck under the bottom. Brush gently with melted butter and add in a few more layers of filo and tuck around to form a rectangular pie. Brush butter on top. Bake in the centre of the oven until golden brown, some 25-30 minutes. Remove, allow to cool and wrap up in foil or place in a cake tin, ready for the picnic.
I like to serve this pie with a minted yoghurt dip, some onion chutney or a fresh coriander chutney and a really good salad. Here's an easy yoghurt sauce
Half a cup of Greek yoghurt
Half a cucumber, peeled, deed seeded and grated and set in a colander to drain excess water.
A sprinkling of black onion seeds, some torn mint, basil and/or coriander leaves or my new favourite spice – sumac (comes from a berry from a wild bushy shrub which grows wild in the med and the middle east – sort of soury, salty, sweet and hard to describe really!)
Black pepper and salt to taste
Mix all the ingredients together and taste to adjust seasonings. Chill in jar to serve with pie.
And a few of our favourite things for picnics…… are retro 70's stuffed devilled eggs, sun ripened tomatoes, homemade mini pizzas, morning glory muffins, ANZAC cookies, coleslaws and mini ham/veggie burgers served with salad and tapenade, carrot and ginger dip, braeburn or cox's orange apples and melty camenbert, scones with strawberry jam and cream etc, oh, it's just endless…..
Extra fancy special picnics may require a visit to The Cheesecake Company for a really gorgeous birthday cake or to Baklust, Phillip Garlenes for a messy but delicious chocolate pie, Brood for a brownie or olive bread -great with all the afore mentioned dips – lastly, don't let the weather put you off. If it is truly yukky outside try a picnic at home on a rug in the middle of the floor – enjoy!
Below a pic of Rebecca's devilishly good classic "made with her own hands" cheesecake decorated (by us) with mango, peach and mandarin! A super special birthday cake for every once in a while! See http://www.cheesecakecompany.nl!
But do remember, we can all cook and cook we must for life is delicious!

Moody's downgrades Good Samaritan Hospital debt
Heavy competition and pension liabilities were two reasons Moody's Investors Service listed for downgrading Good Samaritan Hospital's $64.5 million in outstanding debt recently.
Moody's changed the rating from Ba1 to Ba2 and revised the outlook from stable to negative.
"The revised outlook to negative from stable reflects GSH's difficulty operating as a standalone community hospital in an entrepreneurial physician environment with a growing pension liability and reliance on short-term government provider tax monies," Moody's report said.
Moody's called the financial performance of GSH "unexpectedly poor" and "a reversal from prior year's trajectory," at -4.7 percent margin in fiscal year 2012 and -4.1 percent margin in the first quarter of FY 2013.
GSH's market share also dropped, from 60 percent in 1Q FY 2011 to 57 percent in 1Q FY 2012. However, due to the discount rate's drop from 5.65 to 4.05, the hospital's pension liability grew from $27.5 million in FY 2011 to $52.8 million in FY 2012; its employer contributions grew from $5.5 million to $6.7 million during that time.
Moody's also said GSH's service area "continues to face intense entrepreneurial activity and physician alignment challenges, including the departure of the system's two cardiac surgeons, which heavily disrupted inpatient and surgical volumes."
However, the report said, GSH does have a strength in being the sole inpatient provider in its primary service area, and its debt burden is moderate, "with no debt plans in the near future."

Golden, CO – The North Face has awarded a $2,500 Explore Fund grant to the Colorado Mountain Club for its Youth Education Program summer adventure programming. The Explore Fund's mission is to inspire and enable the next generation of explorers by funding non-profit organizations that are working to connect children with nature. By encouraging an active healthy lifestyle and protection of our natural landscapes, a stronger connection of youth to the outdoors can be nurtured.
The Colorado Mountain Club was selected from more than 500 applications submitted for in 2013. Since The Explore Fund was initiated in 2010, The North Face has provided more than $1 million in grants to non-profits all over the world working to connect youth to the outdoors with more than three quarters of that going to programs in the United States. All of The North Face Explore Fund recipients were chosen based on their commitment to one of three different focus areas: access to front and back country recreation, education for personal and environmental health, and creating a connection to nature that will empower the future leaders of tomorrow.
The CMC's Youth Education Program summer programming offers affordable three to five-day camps for youth to get outdoors, learn about the environment, practice their rock climbing skills, and engage in outdoor adventure and environmental education.
"As I child, I had the great fortune to hike through a meadows of wildflowers, wade in crystal clear creeks, and climb Colorado's majestic peaks. Unfortunately, today fewer and fewer kids have those kinds of outdoor experiences," said Brenda Porter, Operations Director of the CMC. "The competing forces of video games, T.V. time, and increasing rates of childhood obesity make it more important than ever to provide youth with active outdoor adventures. Thanks to support from the North Face Explore Fund, CMC will continue to engage a broad spectrum of youth in mountain education and adventures during our summer camps and school-day field trips."
The Youth Education Program was established in 1999 to share the CMC's mission with a wider audience, specifically youth. In addition, as CMC's facility emerged into a world-class center complete with auditorium, conference center, and library, it became an ideal destination for school and youth group field trips. Since its founding, the CMC's Youth Education Program continues to provide opportunities for over 7,000 kids annually to experience the natural world through active learning adventures—essential opportunities to help combat childhood obesity and prevent "nature deficit disorder."
In addition, the CMC's Youth Education Program has been able to advance the mission exponentially with the support of several important partner organizations including the Scientific Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).

It is evident that across our nation, people are frustrated and angry. Democrat or Republican—it makes nary a difference which corporate puppet is elected. Our nation will continually be at war to make money off far-away natural resources. In these hard times of the Great Recession, the rich continue to get richer, and it's no surprise where that wealth has trickled up from. Many people are out of jobs and unable to find work. They are losing their homes and gathering impossible debt. They are figuring out how to cope as they no longer have access to the money economy.
The protests in Egypt earlier this year were more widely reported in mainstream American news than the protests on Wall Street. It is a challenge to find news reporting on what is going on in my own country, and I imagine if I was not seeking it out, I may never know that people were protesting on my behalf. They call themselves the 99%--those who can't afford lobbyists, who don't have influence in politics. They are the unemployed, often over-educated—those who listened to talk of the American dream, pursued it vigorously, and found it dissipated once they arrived prepared and ready on the scene. They are often young, wondering why no one bothered to fix the broken system they are inheriting. (I should note, I am nearly 40, and I've wondered the same thing the last 20 years.)
It comes as no surprise that our government is heavily influenced by those who hold the purse strings. We all know this. It comes as no surprise that our media is heavily influenced by those who hold the purse strings. We all know this. Does it surprise us that a handful of tea party protests are heavily covered in the media while a massive peoples' demonstration in the heart of the beast is largely ignored? It's disgusting, but no surprise.
We look at those who profit from the actions of corporations—those who continue to benefit. It seems they feel themselves invincible, and that is an incredible weakness and shortcoming. Traditionally, when revolution is imminent, those in power capitulate in order not to lose total control. The New Deal is a good example. In the 1930s, the Wobblies and the anarchists were growing in numbers, as were the poor and unemployed. Massive protests encouraged lawmakers to parcel out funds to provide jobs and food in order to quell uprising. Our nation can no longer afford that route, as the tea partiers constantly remind us.
What can our government do? They have merely the illusion of control, as we find out, the more of us that step up and speak out. There is not enough in the way of resources to control us all. As more of us drift away from our brainwashing/upbringing as Patriotic Americans(tm), we find ourselves more aware of our actual circumstances. We find ourselves operating in an economy based on what we have in abundance—our time and our willingness to share what we have. This is the basis of the economy of the community.
We stop listening to the rules and regulations of the corporate government that benefits from controlling our actions with the threat of violence (whether this violence is mace in the eyes during a peaceful protest, or an eviction from a home we could afford if only access to the money economy—jobs—were available) and instead listen to our consciences. There is a large number of surplus homes as the numbers of homeless swell. Any person with a bit of common sense can hook together this supply and demand conundrum that those on Wall Street can't seem to figure out. This is a mere drop in the bucket of common sense measures that our government can't seem to grasp. (Whoever started buying up debt because debt is an asset deserves a $100 billion bonus, heh.)
We demand honesty from those in our circles of interaction, especially from ourselves. Our way of life is disintegrating in front of our eyes. We welcome this, knowing that this crisis will give birth to something more meaningful. As we look around what was formerly the most wealthy nation in the world, and see utter poverty while also seeing those who benefit from the control of corporations sipping champagne and smirking while protected by the public police, something is stirred deep within us.
I do indeed consider myself a patriotic American, though not in the way of throwing more money after unjust wars and standing up for the rights of corporations to throw money at politicians because that's all free speech means anymore. I have always rooted for the underdog, and to me, that is what America is about. We ourselves are freedom fighters, throwing off our blinders and blazing trails anew. This opportunity arises on occasion, and the invitation is extended to us. We can see through the illusion of control, and disregard it. We can find out for ourselves what freedom means—not relying on tea partiers to define it for us. We can take it upon ourselves to develop the responsibility to each other that makes our near-useless government completely so. We find security in our freedom and responsibility to each other—way more than Social Security could ever give us. We can realize what it is like to have our nation for, by, and of us, not for, by and of those who benefit from corporate profits.
Yes, I'm a revolution cheerleader, and I'm not the only one. I am eight months pregnant ,and it is my hope my child will be born free and raised in a new paradigm. I am doing what I can to enable this to happen, and I invite you to join me and the other 99% in reclaiming ourselves and our country, creating together lives worth the effort of living. We may not have much in the way of money, but we have each other, and that is enough.

Lee definitely committed a foul there – he took a swing. But before he took a swing, two guys were holding him well after the play was over, they held him during the play and worse than anything, the other guy took a swing at his head first.
Officiating is already playing too much of a role in this game – but part of that is because the teams are committing fouls.

Pontiac Junior Open follow
Brock Hirn made a comeback for the ages, and he's not even old enough to drive — a car. But he showed he can drive a golf ball on the second day of the Pontiac Junior Open.
Hirn trailed the Day 1 leader by nine strokes and was in fourth place heading into Thursday's round. He sizzled with the best round of any player on the day when he carded a 1-over 73 to rocket to the championship of the 14-15-year-old boys' group at Wolf Creek Golf Course.
Griffin Nyi's rally wasn't as impressive but was certainly very much the same in terms of importance. Nyi was down one stroke after the first round at the Elks Club but he had the best final round to win the 12-13 boys' age group.
Hirn shot 94 at the Elks for a 21-stroke difference in the two days, and caused a stir at Wolf Creek after hitting into the group ahead of him twice, including on No. 8 (which was the next-to-last hole as all those playing 18 holes started on the back) where his second shot ended up within 15 of the cup on the 510-yard par 5.
Hirn's total was 167, edging Dallas Koth by one stroke. Koth had rounds of 85-83.
Nyi trailed Karson Kafer by one stroke after Wednesday. He shot a 91, the best round among those in his group, on Thursday to tally a 184 and win the 12-13 title.
Although Sarah Maddox won by 19 strokes in the girls' 16-18 age group, there was still some excitement when Drew Grimes and Julie Hogan each came in with a 201 to tie for second.
Grimes won the scorecard playoff on the first hole to take home the second-place trophy.
The following are the final scores of those who completed the two-day event. Those playing 36 holes (18 each day) were the boys' groups of 12-13, 14-15 and 16-18 and the girls' 14-15 and 16-18. The younger groups all played 18 holes (9 each day).
Boys 16-18 — Lincoln Slagel 74-80-154; Mike Edinger 79-79-158; Austin Drake 81-79-160; Adam Livezey 83-84-167; Peyton Ferrara 92-87-179; Tyler Allen 87-93-180; Cole Finnegan 95-85-190; Sam Trainor 92-100-192; Kyle Robinson 104-95-199; Seth Galloway 106-93-199; Drew Jensen 109-109-218.
Boys 14-15 — Brock Hirn 94-73-167; Dallas Koth 85-83-168; Matthew Schrock 91-86-177; Nathan Zabel 90-88-178; Victor Johns 112-107-219.

Eco Friendly Blinds & Shades
- Make your home green
- Save on energy costs with insulation
- Environmentally sustainable natural fibers
- Reduce reliance on petroleum energy
- Renewable and recycled material
Eco friendly blinds and shades are identified as especially "green" based on material content, recycling potential, and green certifications. Materials such as bamboo, reeds, jute, and real wood are sustainably harvested out of natural elements, reducing harm on the environment. Faux wood blinds are made from specially formulated recycled materials that can be recycled again when it's time to redecorate. EcoGreen shades use environmentally responsible fabrics that are PVC-free, 100% Recyclable, and LEED Certification Friendly, so they can be used as eco friendly window treatments in both residential and commercial settings. There are also earth friendly window treatments that provide energy saving features, such as insulating cellular shades.

customer reviews for eco friendly
By Mike from Whitestone, NY
Once they where up, they made my living room spectacular! It took me a while to hang up but that's also due to the fact that I had a custom setup for a window that is 8 feet across. This made my panels big and heavy but worth the effort. Getting them to align at the center was the hardest part. But once they were up they really look nice. My wife and I love the look and everyone that sees them says the same.View this product
"Great Quality Product"
By Trish from St. Louis area
I love the Blindsgalore Signature composite wood shutters for their quality and the stylish look that plantation shutters in general give to my house. They are more expensive than blinds, but add so much in beauty and also help keeping out drafts. You will not regret buying these shutters. Also, they are very easy to install - even for a novice like me!View this product

Howdy, I run a 4th edition D&D game with a world of my own devising and am looking for players, I noticed you don't have D&D listed or even fantasy but thought I would drop you a line anyway. If you're interested I'm hoping to get it restarted every Friday evening. Let me know if you're interested in playing.
Cool goggles, by the way.

So sad to me that Demon was my favorite line but seemed to be the forgotten step child of White Wolf. Truth though is Demon didn't seem to fit with the others at all in terms of story. So far as NWoD goes, they got the story so much better for Fae than OWoD ever did.
Like this?No.
As far as parts of it being "real", no. Not at all. It's a game. It may have a basis (a very loose one at that) in the Christian mythos but that does not make it real. I never understood the idea that playing such games would make you a sinner or someone who is going to conjure something from beyond because it deals with "occult" symbols.
Heh.But really, I admit that I have this deeply-rooted fear that demons and magic might be real. I mean, read some interviews with real-life exorcists...
This topic really makes me want to play an oWoD V:tM game. My neck veins are pulsing and aching to get bitten so I can be turned.
I love it myself. We're lucky in that we have a local LARP group that plays V:tM and it's been fun so far. I have two V:tM stories on here because of how awesome that venue is.
