Gdgd Fairies
Somehow this show seemed to slip under the radar during the Fall 2011 season.
Here is a summary link on the show: http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl...anime&aid=8661
CR has been airing it as well, so it can be watched for free (although with commercials in between ... grrr).
Anyhoo ... just recently some fansubbing groups have been releasing their own eps of this. I have watched the first five (of 13) eps and it is exceedingly funny, but funny in the sense of zany and crazy like Nichijou at it's height.
The animation style (it is entirely computerized animation) may put some people off - but I have found it enjoyable on the whole.
I wonder if anyone else out there has been watching (or has even heard) of this series?

For those who can read it, here is the official site: http://gdgdfairy.com/
It also has a wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gdgd_Fairies
Essentially there are three characters in this strange little series.... Here is a quote from the wiki page:

Forgive me, but the title "gdgd Faerieis" makes me think that the acronym for the series is "goddamn goddamn Faeries" .
Back on topic, what is this exactly? I never saw this series on chartfag, cartdriver etc.

It is ... well ... strange.
The series comprised 12 15-16 minute eps of completely computer generated graphics. Essentially these three female chibi magic-wielding fairies (complete with little wings) sorta "shoot the breeze" and do things together in some sort of alternate dimension. They periodically go to a little pool near their home tree and look in on short "clips" of alternate dimensions too.
I wish I could describe it better ... but the humor is completely off-the-wall of impossible to predict at times. I guess it reminds me a little of when Robin Williams voiced the genie in the old Aladdin Disney movie. (Williams' voice was perfect, because of the genie's magic abilities you literally had no idea what was going to happen from one minute to the next.)
Gdgd Fairies has the same element of having no idea what is coming next because of the magic abilities the fairies possess combined with that Japanese surrealness and in their comedy.
Hmm ... it really best speaks for itself in some ways. If you can survive through 1 or 2 of the eps I am positive you will get what I am failing so badly at trying to describe here.
Now I happen to like this kind of humor when it is not too, too offensive in "crossing the line", and for me Gdgd Fairies stays within boundaries. But I can't guess what other people's reactions might be. Really ... the wildest parts of bizarre humor from Nichijou is the only recent comparison I can think of ... hmm ... or maybe Dororon Enma-kun Meramera a teensy bit?

I've been slowly making my way through season 1; I'm near the end of episode 5.
It's a very different format to what I might have expected, but it has its moments.
(I was surprised at some of of the out-of-character dialogue in the third act of each episode, like when krkr's voice actress mentioned that ahe had once been in a Transformers show. In case you're wondering, she voiced Sari Sumdac in the Japanese dub of TF: Animated.)
Oh, and since season 2 is starting on Crunchyroll tomorrow, this thread might be worth moving back to the current series board.

Episode 1 of season 2 went up today.
Looks like they've shuffled the format around a little; alongside the image-with-no-sound bit, they now have a sound-with-no-image segment to go with.
Also, there are now two of those cat-things in the transitions instead of just the one.
Also, the Op is the same as in season 1, but the ED seems new. (But then, I haven't finished season 1 yet, so I don't know if it was in one of the later episodes already.)

This show is hilarious! It's like Lucky Star with the roundtable in the classroom and then insanity. Love the VA cast especially with Misao, I've always wanted to hear more Misao's VA, her voice is perfect for jokes! Watched the first eps of the 2nd season and going to marathon the first now. I'm surprised this show didn't get more attention, because it's hilarious and imo that's enough for a show to succeed!
Edit: Oh man watched up to eps 3, and I haven't laughed this hard forever! I can't believe this show hasn't gotten more attention. It might not be similar to anime, but it's too funny to ignore!

I guess there are two reasons this doesn't get more attention. Firstly the humour doesn't appeal to many in the Western fandom (the Japanese obviously liked it enough to make a second series worthwhile) and secondly the CGI, which a lot of people seem to hate. Actually much of the humour derives from the deliberately ugly CGI. When shrshr created her version of the arcade machine with the muscle guys I had to pause the video I was laughing so much. On the other hand earlier this week I sat stony-faced through Cuticle Detective Inaba, so yeah, people's sense of humour varies. It doesn't really matter if it's not massively popular as long as you enjoy it.

I tried out the first episode of the first season, and found that the sense of humor does match the sort of things I like. (Joshiraku, etc.) It was the CGI animation that made me hesitant to try it out. 2D is beautiful, but 3D's still being perfected on TV. But I watched the S2 promo and listened to the theme song, and it got stuck in my head and then one thing led to another...

It's almost reminding me of those NMA News videos. I wouldn't be surprised if it was made with the same animation engine. That two of the VAs are Arsene and Sherlock from Milky Holmes only makes it better. I've had my expectations thrown in all directions today, and discovering gdgd was probably one of the highlights.

Just finished marathoning season 1. Great series, seriously. The reason that the third section with the skits sometimes seem meta is because they're improvised, like the kind of stuff that's done on seiyuu radio talkshows. As a matter of fact, gdgd Fairies as a whole seems to resemble heavily that particular format, with its themed corners and conversational focus, allowing the seiyuu to play around and show off their skills.
I'd say that over in Japan, a great deal of the popularity of these kinds of series comes from familiarity with the seiyuu personalities. For my part, a great deal of my interest/enjoyment has been amplified by the knowledge of Mimorin and Satomi Akesaka as Sheryl/Henrietta's VAs.

I had begun to suspect it was improvised when krkr was giving off lines like "It's tough recording this at 10 in the morning." And then it dawned on me why it was CGI animated. Slightly easier to adjust to random line readings than traditional animation. I'm still working my way through season one, but... I think I've found a new favorite show.

Scrolling through tumblr reveals the gdgd fandom is bigger than I thought. Also, I just finished the first season. I was not expecting that Madoka reference in episode 11, and the way the character of Fusako has evolved from an adlibbed joke to a recurring character with a bit of her own fandom is kind of surprising. I've come to really enjoy this show, and will begin watching the first (and currently, only) episodes of season two soon.

I finished the first season, and have seen the first two eps of season 2.
It looks like the CG models they are using for the season 2 end credits are different to the ones from season 1. Or, it could be that the faces of the dancing silhouettes in S1 were always supposed to look the way they are now shown in the S2 EDs.

Episode two was so awesome for me. Anything drawing on toku inspiration usually is. I also love the remix of the first OP they're using, though S2E3 looks to have switched over to a completely different, even more reanimated opening. And the "adult" models of the fairies are finally fully illuminated. They actually look pretty good.

Shrshr actually managed to troll krkr in this episode; hard. Respect! They went though with the Madoka Magica references from last week's trailer which was funny. (I haven't seen that series but it's pretty hard not to know all about it). Soul Jam is the new Cola of Cthulhu (see Nyaruko). The new ED designs for the fairies are pleasant enough but I did like how they danced silhouetted against the sunset in the first series.

Issiar Dia Talks Playing Style, Turkish Football, & MoreNews • Author: Nathan Redd • Friday, July 23, 2010
New Yellow Canary Issiar Dia just arrived in Istanbul, but he's already making the media rounds. He was a guest on FB TV's 'Gündem' program Thursday with Yusuf Kenan Çalık to talk about his new Fenerbahçe home. Dia spoke about his playing style, what he expects from Fenerbahçe this season, and how the club compares to other European powers.
Issiar Dia spoke to Fenerbahçe TV Thursday to talk about a number of topics, including his initial thoughts on the club upon his arrival to Istanbul. "My first impressions about Fenerbahçe were positive, but after Wednesday's match my impressions are even better now. Now I've begun to clearly see how big a club Fenerbahçe is. I was very surprised to see so many supporters in a Fenerbahçe game abroad," he said. "I'm beginning to wonder how the supporters will be at Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium when we play a derby."
Dia said he was still in awe of being in Istanbul at FB TV. "I'm 23 years old and I have a very strong passion for football. I began playing football from a very young age and I've climbed step-by-step, and now here I am at Fenerbahçe TV," he said.
The French-born player of Senegalese heritage said he's capable of playing several positions on the pitch, but he spoke about his preference Thursday. "I am an attacking player. I can play both on the right and left flanks and also as a central forward. I love going into one-on-one challenges and I love faking the opponent and passing my marker. I prefer playing as a right winger, but I can definitely play on both wings," he indicated. "Last season at Nancy, I showcased a good performance on the right wing and this season I was transferred to Fenerbahçe to strengthen their right wing. I hope I will be successful here. I have a very fast pace and I am very strong in one-on-one challenges. However, as with every forward and attacking player, I feel that my defensive attributes are a bit weak. I will continue working hard to improve my defensive abilities, just as I was doing at Nancy," Dia told Yusuf Kenan Çalık. "My two main strong points are that I can shake off markers in a very closed-down defensive line, and I can use my fast pace in open areas."
The former AS Nancy-Lorraine star talked about his reaction to Fener and their offer to sign him. "Fenerbahçe is a very big club. Our first goal is the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round. We want to take it step-by-step, and I want to experience a lot of success at Fenerbahçe," he stated. "A club like Fenerbahçe cannot be compared with Olympique de Marseille, Girondins de Bordeaux, Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco. Fenerbahçe is a much bigger club and they get to play in the UEFA Champions League every season. I always wanted to play in one of Europe's top clubs and when I heard about Fenerbahçe's offer I decided to take it."
Dia said the Canaries' supporters surprised him as well. "The supporters were fantastic. They can be compared with Marseille fans in France, but in my opinion, even the Marseille fanbase is more insignificant than Fenerbahçe's fanbase," he told the network. "Playing abroad is a tremendous opportunity for me. I did receive offers from the English Premiership and German Bundesliga, however I snubbed all of them and picked Turkey."
Issiar Dia explained that Fenerbahçe was very well known in France because of last season's games in the UEFA Europa League against LOSC Lille Métropole. "Fenerbahçe is very well known in France. They have the capability of beating strong teams in the UEFA Champions League. I was excited when the offer came and now I am learning more about the club. I believe we can reach new heights in the UEFA Champions League."
The newest Canary also talked about his decision to play for Senegal rather than France, as well as his opinion of Turkish football. "Senegal was the choice of my heart. I felt I belonged there," he said. "I did have offers from the French National Team, however my culture belonged to Senegal. Even though my place of birth is not there, my roots are from Senegal," he said. Dia said that he used Senegalese star El Hadji Diouf as a role model. "El Hadji Diouf brought our country to great heights, becoming the pride of the nation." Dia also said that he looked up to fellow countryman Mamdou Niang from Olympique de Marseille.
Regarding Turkish football, Dia indicated that he definitely thinks it is moving forward. "Turkish football is on the rise. They have a national side that has played in semifinals and quarterfinals in major tournaments. They have many important players. Turkish players general have a high capacity of technical attributes. In some countries, football is only about kicking the ball, but in Turkey, football is played in a sense of improving the game," he exclaimed.
"In Wednesday's match, they performed extremely well for a ten-man team. The team-work was exceptional," Dia said of his first look at his new teammates earlier this week. The new transfer said he was looking forward to his opportunities in Istanbul.
"Fenerbahçe is a team that everyone would like to play for. Now I have found the opportunity to play at Fenerbahçe and I want to use this opportunity well. I want to contribute to Fenerbahçe's success and also reach my personal goals here. Now the French chapter is over for me. I want to turn a new page with Fenerbahçe, and I want to fill this page with a lot of success."

Pompano Beach boat repair company, Iguana Marine, offers free engine oil analysis to boat owners
Pompano Beach boat repair company, Iguana Marine, announced today that it is offering boat owners free engine oil analysis lab work. An engine's oil is the lifeblood of the motor, and having a lab analyze the oil can help detect any abnormalities, such as small metal shavings, or water in the oil that can be a precursor to impending engine problems. Catching the problems early can mean the difference between repairing the the motors rather than having to replace the motors, or being stranded on the water if the motors fail.
Jon Lowell, founder of Iguana Marine, and his company have been servicing boats and yachts from Fort Lauderdale to Delray Beach. "We are unique in that we are ABYC Certified Master Technicians, and one of only a few companies in the area with all 7 certifications," said Lowell. "We want to give boaters this engine oil analysis to encourage people to perform any preemptive maintenance needed on their boats' motors, instead of having to do major repairs or replacements, later."
The Fort Lauderdale area is known as the "Venice of America" due to its extensive canal system and interlinking waterways and is also the yachting capital of the world. Because of this, the boating community is exceptionally large, requiring a tremendous amount of service companies to meet the demand.
"I really appreciated Jon at Iguana Marine performing the engine oil analysis on my boat's engines," says Leigh Woeller, a customer of Iguana Marine. "They arrived soon after I called them and collected the engine oil sample from both motors and the generator, too. the lab report helped us identify and correct some minor issues, and let us know what we needed to keep an eye on in the future."

im going to buy a new laptop (acer aspire 1694), i had a big problem with my last laptop, it was stolen and someone got access to all the data in the harddrive!
i used microsoft windows xp in a fat32 partition, now i want to use both microsot windows xp and slackware linux, i know almost nothing about linux but im going to learn...
my question is, what option should i take to save and secure all my data/files?
1- i need to have read and write (or at least read) in both operating systems.
this means... i can't put all the files in a ntfs drive or ext2, i know there are some third party add-ons that let me work in other file systems, i saw a microsoft windows xp add-on that would let me work in ext2 partitions, but i don't know if i can trust them!
2- i would like to use encrypted file system so that if someone i don't know gets access to my data/files they can't view them!
the problem is that i really don't know how encypted file system work! i have no clue! i mean, it would be great it worked like e a normal file system after the user loging in, for example: in microft windows xp or linux "welcome screen" (where people type the username and password) i enter them as i normaly do, and then get access to my harddrive like a normal file system, this means that if someone doesn't login with the rigth username/password they can't view my files!
this would be great if it worked like this, but i think theres lots more... ca anyone explain me how encrypted file systems work in ntfs ext2?
3- if i use a encrypted file system i'm almost sure that i won't be able to access and work in files as i said in "1-" (being able to use/work with files encrypted in ntfs or ext2 using both operating systems. i would only be able to work with ntfs files in microsoft windows and ext2 files in linux) maybe i will use a normal fat32 partition to install microsoft windows xp, leaving the files unecrypted and only encrypt the ext2 partition, saving all files (that don't need to be encrypted) in the fat32 this way i could work with them using both operating systems.
i coul also use a encrypted ntfs partition to install microsoft windows, a encrypted ext2 partition to install linux and then create a fat32 partition to store files that don't need to be encrypted and to have read/write access from both operating systems
but i don't even know how encrypted file systems work anyway eh eh, i did already search google for it but didn't help, i know that for microsoft windows xp i need the professional version, that's not a problem

Topic: Repeat Last Command Not Always Compatible With Intellisense
I am using VS 2008 with ViEmu 2.5.4. Sometimes the dot command to repeat the last thing does not work with Intellisense. Here are the steps to reproduce this.
Given the following code:
public void SomeMethod() {
ReadLoad readLoad = ReadLoadsWithEmptyReadsBackup.GetReadLoad(_user);
Route route = null;
route.Should().Be = _route;
route.Should().Be = _route;
Put the cursor at the start of the first line with route.Should().Be = _route; and use ce to delete route and enter insert mode and then type:
and hit escape leaving that entire line with:
readLoad.Current.Route.Should().Be = _route;
If you then try to repeat this command starting at route on the next line you sometimes get this:
.Should().Be = _route;
This only happens if you use intellisense to Select 'Current' and 'Route'. What is interesting is that if you start to type the word Current or Route, but use intellisense to complete it, it actually works correctly. But if they show up as the first available word and you hit Enter, then the repeat command just inserts a new line.

Album Description
Experimental Israel is a research project of the Israeli experimental music scene active between 2016-17. In its 60 broadcasts, recorded live from the halas.am studio, composer and radio producer - Dr. Ophir Ilzetzki, met with scores of practitioners identified with the Israeli experimental scene; predominantly sound artists. Through interviews with, and dedicated commissions from the featured artists, Experimental Israel attempted to trace the outlines of the genre at large, and its Israeli manifestation in particular. Each session attempted not only to draw the contours of a featured artist, but also to focus the main research questions. However, Experimental Israel, the ever first archive of its kind, does not beg definitive answers to its main queries, but rather functions as a snapshot in time, allowing a more knowing and aware conversation amongst practitioners. More so, it prompts future comparative researches on similar or related topics.
On this page you will find all the musical contributions recorded by various artists on Experimental Israel. For the entire shows (in Hebrew), please follow this link.
Experimental Israel was made possible through the kind support of The Israeli National Lottery, and the Israeli Centre for Digital Art in Holon.

April 20, 1996: Instead of addressing the need for a running back, the Ravens draft Ogden over troubled Lawrence Phillips. Ogden, the first pick in franchise history, wears a black-and-white Ravens cap because the team didn't have official colors nor a logo. "When Simeon [Rice] got picked third by Arizona, I started to think, maybe Baltimore wouldn't be that bad a place to play after all," Ogden said at the time.
Sept. 1, 1996: Because the Ravens start Tony Jones at left tackle, Ogden plays his entire rookie season at left guard. In his first NFL game, Ogden battled Oakland's 300-pounders Chester McGlockton, Nolan Harrison and Jerry Ball. "I probably didn't perform as high as my expectations," Ogden said. "But I'll take a win without giving up any sacks."
Dec. 1, 1996: In a 31-17 upset of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ogden delivers the biggest surprise with his first touchdown, a 1-yard catch from Vinny Testaverde. "I've made some great catches in practice," Ogden said. "I was just thinking, 'I'm wide-open, and I'd better not drop this ball.' I didn't even hear the crowd. I was just looking it in. I'm glad we won, but I'm also glad I got some stats."
Aug. 31, 1997: After the Ravens traded Tony Jones, Ogden returns to natural position at left tackle. He makes his first start at left tackle in a 28-27 loss against Jacksonville. "Considering it was my first game back out there, I thought I did a decent job," Ogden said. "It was harder coming into my first regular season as a guard last year. This is a different position, but I'm more prepared for the adjustments and the speed of the game than I was at this time last year."
Dec. 11, 1997: Ogden receives first Pro Bowl invitation after his first season as a starting left tackle. "This is my first Pro Bowl and I guess the first one is always special," he said. "I thought I was going to make it, but you never know how the voting goes."
Sept. 12, 1999: In a 27-10 loss at St. Louis, Ogden runs nearly the length of the field to catch St. Louis cornerback Taje Allen to prevent an interception-return touchdown. "Stuff happens out there," Ogden said. "I was blocking somebody, then I saw some dude catching and lateraling. I don't know how it all came to pass."
Oct. 3, 1999: In one of the scariest moments of his career, Ogden is carried off on a stretcher in the final minute of the first half. He suffers a cervical strain and severe neck burner diving for a fumble and leaves the Georgia Dome wearing a neck brace. But Ogden starts the next game.
Aug. 28, 2000: The Ravens make Ogden the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history at the time, signing him to a six-year, $44 million extension that includes a $12 million signing bonus. "We consider Jonathan Ogden the best tackle in football today, and I think his future is extremely bright," Ravens owner Art Modell said. "Right now he is the best there is, and he may be the best ever to play."
Dec. 31, 2000: In his first playoff game, Ogden drives Denver defensive end Kavika Pittman 15 yards downfield on a running play. His blocking helps Jamal Lewis rush for 110 yards and two touchdowns.
Jan. 28, 2001: Ogden wins the only Super Bowl of his career, as the Ravens rout the New York Giants, 34-7. "I feel so great right now," he said. "I have had dreams of this day since I was a little kid."
Jan 13, 2002: Ogden helps the Ravens to rush for 226 yards, the most in team postseason history. The 20-3 playoff victory at Miami would be the last postseason win for Ogden.
Dec. 24, 2002: Former NFL players vote Ogden as the NFL Alumni Offensive Lineman of the Year.
Sept. 14, 2003: Ogden helps pave the way for Jamal Lewis to rush for a then-NFL record 295 yards. "That really was kind of like a college day," Ogden said. "Just to be part of it was spectacular. This is as close as we linemen get to the record books."
Nov. 9, 2003: Lining up as a tight end, Ogden catches his second career touchdown pass in a 33-22 loss at St. Louis. But he doesn't perform a big celebration. "I'm not jumping around like a fool," Ogden said. "I just gave my little Hulk Hogan pose and went back to the huddle. That's it."
Dec. 19, 2004: In perhaps his worst NFL game, Ogden allows Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney to beat him off the edge in a 20-10 loss. Freeney records two sacks and countless other pressures.
Dec. 19, 2005: Ogden starts his 150th career game in a 48-3 win over Green Bay. He does not allow a sack.
July 26, 2006: Ogden's father, Shirrel, dies of complications from open-heart surgery. Ogden misses the entire training camp.
Dec. 17, 2006: During the Ravens' stretch run for the AFC North title, Ogden hyperextends the big toe on his left foot in a 27-17 win against the Cleveland Browns. He would miss the final two regular-season games.
Jan. 13, 2007: Even though Ogden isn't at full strength because of turf toe, he limits Freeney to no tackles and one quarterback hit in a 15-6 playoff loss to Indianapolis. It is vindication for Ogden, who has had trouble with Freeney in the past.
Jan. 14, 2007: Ogden reveals for the first time that there is a 'possibility' he might retire. He hobbles out of the locker room because of the toe injury.
April 26, 2007: Ogden decides to return for another season. He refuses to say whether the 2007 season would be his last.
Sept. 10, 2007: Ogden aggravates the toe injury early in the second quarter of the season-opening loss in Cincinnati. He is inactive for the next five games.
Dec. 9, 2007: Before his second-to-last home game, Ogden says he is leaning toward retirement. "I'm most likely not going to be back," Ogden said.
Dec. 28, 2007: Ogden is elected to his 11th and final Pro Bowl. "Even though I was hurt ... I gave it everything I had," Ogden said. "Even after all these years, the validation this honor carries means a lot to me."
Dec. 30, 2007: In his final game -- a win over the Steelers -- Ogden brings his wife and his 2-year-old son Jayden onto the field, where he has pictures taken with them. Asked what he would say to fans, he said, "I would just say thank you for being out there, watching me. This city and me, we've grown together as a team, so I'm just grateful to have been a part of it."

No theme has dominated country radio playlists and charts more in the past couple of years than celebration of the sort of small-town good life that features trucks, beer and scantily clad women as the must-have accessories. The young country duo Maddie & Tae aren't fans of the third element in the "bro-country" trinity.
They're turning heads in a different way with their very first single, "Girl In A Country Song," in which they step into the cut-off jeans of the women who have functioned as little more than eye candy in recent hits to voice a series of reasonable complaints:
"Bein' the girl in the country song — how in the world did it go so wrong? / Like all we're good for is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend, nothing more."
There's a hint of sadness in that chorus, but it's delivered with requisite Nashville sass, and in a cheerful conversation with NPR's Audie Cornish, Maddie Marlow, who is 19 years old, and Tae Dye, who is 18, made it abundantly clear that they're aiming to tweak country's conventions, not tear them down, even when asked about the tendency of male singers to address women with the words "hey, girl!"
"There's absolutely no beef with that line or any of the lines, in fact," Dye says. "It's just a trend that kind of became irresponsible in its view of women, so we wanted to come at it from our perspective."
"We're like, you know, if you love us as much as you say you do, shouldn't you know our name?" Marlow adds. "We want to give this girl that these guys love singing about a voice."

Music critics and old-school country stars been taking aim at a certain national culture that's all over the radio right now. They say there are too many songs about dudes with trucks, guzzling beer, talking about scantily clad women.
BLAKE SHELTON: (Singing) Yeah, girls 'round here they all deserve a whistle, shakin' that sugar sweet as Dixie Crystal.
FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE: (Singing) Yeah, when I first saw that bikini top on her, she's popping right out of the South Georgia water. Thought, oh, good lord, she had them long tan legs."
JASON ALDEAN: (Singing) I hope you're wearing those frayed-out cutoffs, makes me want to get lost down in the moonlight. Drop the tailgate down on a turn road. Watch the corn grow, baby that's a good night.
CORNISH: There are songs that have been dubbed bro-country, and two 18-year-olds are getting a lot of attention for taking on the bros.
MADDIE AND TAE: (Singing) Bein' the girl in the country song - how in the world did it go so wrong? Like all we're good for is looking good for you and your friends on the weekend, nothing more to do.
CORNISH: The song is called "Girl In A Country Song," and the singers are Maddie Marlow and Tae Dye. And they join us now. Welcome ladies.
TAE DYE: Hello, hello.
MADDIE MARLOW: Thanks for having us.
DYE: Yes, you should have seen us when you were playing those clips. We were in here jamming out.
CORNISH: (Laughing) Well, the references in your song are so specific that obviously you are fans of this music. And I understand that when you sat down to write it, you were doing it in a writing session and you made a kind of bro-country checklist? What were some of the things that were on the list?
DYE: This is Tae, and I think it had trucks, tailgates, cutoffs, tan lines...
MARLOW: Tan lines and tan legs.
DYE: ...And tan legs, dirt roads, and the most important one - the girl.
MARLOW: Yes.
DYE: The smoking hot girl.
MADIE AND TAE: (Singing) I hear you over there on your tailgate whistling, saying, hey, girl, but you know I ain't listening.
CORNISH: And I noticed right away at the top you've got that hey girl line. Do you have beef with that term a little bit? I mean, do you think that in particular gets overused calling women girls?
DYE: This is Tae, and there's absolutely no beef with that line or any of the lines, in fact. It's just a trend that kind of became irresponsible in its view of women, so we wanted to come at it from our perspective.
MARLOW: Definitely. This is Maddie and we're like, you know, if you love us as much as you say you do, shouldn't you know our name? I mean...
MADIE AND TAE: (Singing) 'Cause I got a name, and to you it ain't pretty little thing, honey or baby. It's driving me red, red, red, red, red, red, redneck crazy.
CORNISH: Now the thing is, you both are - and I hope you don't mind me saying this - extremely attractive. OK?
MARLOW: Oh, thank you.
CORNISH: You are beautiful young women, long blonde hair. I don't know if I saw any cut-offs in the promotional photos, but you definitely kind of have the look of the ladies who might be in these songs. And did you actually identify with it?
MARLOW: Yes, Tae and I - both of us love a good pair of cutoffs. I mean, we're from Texas and Oklahoma, it gets pretty hot down here/ But, you know, looking good for the boys is not all we have to offer for them. And, you know, we're bringing a voice for the girls in country music. And that's why we came at this topic with a different perspective.
CORNISH: Now you guys obviously love the music and are having fun with some of the clichés of it, but you said it was getting to the point where they were irresponsible. Is there a little bit of a mixed message here? Like on the one hand you're saying we love it, on the other hand you're saying, well, it treats us poorly.
DYE: The thing is we do feel like this trend has been, you know, it's been very very consistent. And we want to give this girl that these guys love singing about a voice.
MADIE AND TAE: (Singing): Well, I wish I had some shoes on my two bare feet. And it's getting kind of cold in these painted-on cut-off jeans. I hate the way this bikini top chafes, do I really have to wear it all day?
DYE: That girl's got a tough gig, let me tell you.
MARLOW: She does.
CORNISH: But wait a second, she's sitting on a truck in a bikini - like it doesn't sound like that tough a gig.
DYE: Well, we say it's a tough gig because yes, we wear bathing suits and we wear cut-offs, but we do it when we want to, not necessarily when the guy puts us in that place.
MARLOW: Yes.
DYE: It is a tough gig because you have to look a certain way to be looked at as a beautiful girl. And that's one message that we want this song to put out there is that every woman should feel beautiful whether you're in cut-offs, whether you don't have tan legs.
CORNISH: Do you think that this - by calling it out - do you think that you're getting people to - the men writing these songs - to rethink how they're talking about women?
MARLOW: You know, this is Mattie, and I hope that we are a little bit because as women, we - you know - don't want to be thought of as one-dimensional, and that's kind of how the songs have been portraying women. And so we hope that that kind of changes the game just a little bit.
CORNISH: Well, Tae Dye and Maddie Marlow, thank you so much for speaking with us.
DYE: Thank you very much for having us.
MARLOW: Oh, no, thank you for having us on. We appreciate you all so much.
CORNISH: Maddie and Tae, a new duo telling us about their new single, "Girl In A Country Song."
MADIE AND TAE: (Singing) We used to get a little respect, now we're lucky if we even get to climb up in your truck, keep our mouth shut, and ride along - and be the girl in a country song. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

New opportunity means no JD
June 05, 2012, 07:15:45 AM »
Hey all,
Yesterday I received some information that could prove to be incredibly beneficial to my future, but would require me to no longer attend law school. I figured I would post here for a little advice from other who may have more knowledge in the legal/education arena than I do, and can help me make a wiser decision. A little background, I spent the last year taking the LSAT (audited a prep class with only a month left and didn't do so well) and applying to several law schools, none of which were in my home state because I have no desire to live here after my education. I got accepted into several T3 and T4 schools, the most notable probably being Southwestern in LA and STCL. However got minimal scholarships to both. This means going to law school with little saved up and taking on debt not only for education but for living expenses as well for my first year. My parents have been generous enough to agree to pay for my rent however. Yesterday though I was contacted by the CEO of my current job, who informed me he would be willing to give me a better job within the company to cover local living expenses, and would also agree to pay for my graduate education as long as it was an MBA with any specialization to choose. All this in return for going part time and continuing to work with the company over the next three years. This is exceptional mostly because the company disbanded this program several years ago before I worked there. The largest problems with this is I have no desire to stay here at this company what so ever. Its safe to say I got my education so I didn't have to work here, yet here I am anyway. Before if I had decided no on law school I planned on quitting and looking for another job. However the local business schools are extremely well ranked, and I know how great it is to graduate with no debt as this same company payed for my undergraduate degree. I suppose it is worth mentioning that my goal job is really more working in house in healthcare, probably something I could do with a MPH. But all this means giving up on my JD dream that I have been working towards the last year at least for the next three years. Normally I would take my time to weigh the pros and cons but I found out yesterday and have to make an appointment sometime today to speak with him about it. Thanks for any help/advise.

I'd take the MBA, stick it out for 3 years, then leave to get my JD. Chances are, by then, you'll probably be capable of getting into a better law school and be able to better weigh what you want to do.

This advice might be to late, but I think you certainly see the pros to getting a paid for MBA and mainting a steady salary, but the odds are if you do not attend law school now it will never happen. Whether that is a good or bad thing is heavily depenedent on you. For your foreseeable financial future the better bet would be to stay with your company and get an MBA. However, there many people that regret never going to law school and if you go down this path life is probably going to get in the way. You might have a kid, get married, another promotion will come up, or any number of possiblities will prevent you from attending law school. If like doesn't get in the way you will likely be to tired to attened law school after going through an MBA program It is possible none of those things will happen and you will get end up in law school, but you can see the likelihood of life getting in the way if you don't go now.
Something to consider that may influence your decision is remember that there is nothing wrong with explaining this situation to the law schools you have been accepted to obtain more scholarship money. Worse case scenario they say no best case they increase your scholarship. Remember that law schools are a business and your a customer if you can pull out an extra 20-30k in scholarship money based on this offer go for it. When I was a 0L I got an extra 5k annually tacked on to my scholarhsip a year which resulted in a savings of 15k and I did nothing more than ask for an increase.
You are essentially posed with the question of the steady path or taking the mystery door. Law school is not a safe bet at the moment and there are many people it does not work out for, but there many who go on to have successful legal careers and you simply cannot be a lawyer without going to law school. If you want the J.D. soley for the supposed economic increase do not go because the MBA and job option is the safer bet financially. If being a lawyer is truly what you want you should take that path.
This would be a very difficult decision for anybody and I am just an anonymous internet poster so do not take anything I take to seriously. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Oh my god this is the easiest decision ever. Give up your dream. You won't realize it anyway, paying sticker at the type of schools you're applying to. If you have a good job and they're willing to finance your MBA, for the love of god don't throw that away to make a quarter million dollar mistake. This should not be up for any debate.

If you want to work in the business world, go for the MBA. It sounds like a great deal. If, however, you want to be a lawyer, there really is no point in delaying law school. The longer you wait the tougher it will be to return to school. If you have everything set to make that leap now, you might want to just do it.
Also, getting the MBA only makes sense if you truly intend to work in business for the rest of your career. If you intend to eventually go to law school, the MBA will not help you land a legal job.
I'm not trying to persuade you in either direction, I know nothing about your personal situation. Law school can be expensive and the job market is tough. You may not get your dream job straight out of law school. I'm not sure that the market is much better for MBAs, however. But here's something to consider: three years from now you're going to be three years older whether you like it or not. You can be three years older with a law degree, or three years older without a law degree. The choice is yours.

I don't know the OP and I really can't give specific advice, but it's generally true that prospective law students are terrible at predicting what job or type of work they will land in after law school. Honestly, a job as a prosecutor and a job as an associate attorney who works in estate planning have next to nothing in common. I know many people dream of becoming lawyers, but most of those people don't know what it's like to be a lawyer. Those who do often don't end up in the type of law they wanted to do anyway. I graduated from a T2 where 80% of 2010 graduates work in a job now that requires a JD and only around 45% work in law firms.
Even if you are certain that being a lawyer in a specific type of firm in a specific type of practice group is your dream, your chance of getting there from a T3 can't possibly be better than a 50/50 shot.
You probably have better odds than someone who wants to be a neurosurgeon, on-air newscaster, or rock star, but you still take a pretty substantial risk.

CFL team apps
Just in time for Saturday's battle for first place of the CFL West Division in the newly-renovated BC Place, the official BC Lions Mobile application presented by TELUS is now available for download on the iPhone and Android.
Atimi Software, the developers behind the highly-polished app, worked with the BC Lions to craft an interactive mobile application that would connect fans to their favourite CFL team.
"We wanted to offer a high level of interactivity for fans through a new platform, while making in-depth information from the league easily accessible and available as it happens," said Lions president and CEO Dennis Skulsky.
"Other Atimi-developed sports applications like the Vancouver Canucks app have been hugely successful, so we knew Atimi was the ideal partner with the most expertise in the realm of mobile marketing for sports teams."
Working closely with the BC Lions, Atimi developed an app that offers powerful team branding, box score game day details and fan engagement. The app gives live updates of scores, stats, and standings throughout BC Lions' games.
Fans can purchase tickets to games, receive push notifications for game times, view an interactive stadium map, upload photos and flip through dynamic mobile player cards.
"Mobile provides the greatest opportunity for professional sports teams to engage fans before, during and after games on multiple levels," said Trevor Westerlund, Professional Sports Sales Manager at Atimi.
"We were thrilled to work with the BC Lions to help them create an app that has fans excited about the new stadium, and hosting the Grey Cup here in Vancouver."
The BC Lions app is available on iPhone and Android platforms and can be downloaded for free.
The BC Lions take on the Calgary Stampeders at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Vancouver.

ROCKFORD — Christian Life has never won a playoff game on the football field.
The Eagles have never even come within 20 points of making it to the second round.
So after their best regular season in school history, they are looking at Saturday's Round 1 home game against Freeport Aquin as their chance for redemption.
"We're out for respect, absolutely. We haven't gotten any, nobody's going to just hand it to us, so we're going to have to go out there and take it," outside linebacker and slot receiver Rodney Quansah said. "We want to make a change in how things have gone around here. We want to make a difference."
So even though they finished up an 8-1 regular season, one that included four shutouts and saw them outscore their opponents 337 to 74, and they received the No. 2 seed on the top half of the Class 1A state playoff bracket, the Eagles are still searching for respect.
But they know a win Saturday afternoon could change that.
"You bet. It would do a lot more than that," senior quarterback Brady Pond said. "We can make history with this team and that's what we intend to do."
If they do, Pond and Quansah will have a lot to do with it. Quansah sparks a deep and talented Eagles' defense, while Pond leads the Eagles' offense with 624 yards and 10 touchdowns through the air and 563 yards and 11 TDs on the ground. Receiver Isaiah Jones has 427 yards and six TDs on just 13 catches, and halfback Omeiza Suleman has gained 420 yards and has scored five times as well.
But no matter what the numbers say, according to the players, Christian Life is not getting its due respect. A lot of that has to do with their history, their schedule and their conference.
"We've never won in the postseason, and, obviously we're playing some teams that were not very good," second-year Christian Life head coach Tony Ambrogio said. "Clearly, because of all of that, we've struggled for respect.
"But we're ready to earn that respect. Being an underdog all the time, it kind of keeps you hungry. Well, by now, we're pretty darn hungry."
They lost 40-28 to the undefeated Northeastern Athletic Conference champions from Ottawa Marquette to open the season, but haven't faltered since. The Eagles earned a forfeit by North Shore Country Day in Week 5 and had four shutout victories on the season, coming in a row with the bonus off week sandwiched in.
Now they will head into Saturday looking for a school-record ninth victory, which, for a program that has had only two winning seasons in history (counting this one), is quite a feat. Of course, the accomplishments of the regular season will mean very little if Christian Life suffers another postseason defeat this weekend.
"That's not enough this time. Everyone is motivated, but not for a great regular season, we want a great postseason," Quansah said. "It all starts this weekend, and it sure won't be easy. We know what Freeport Aquin can do. They can throw it a ton. But we're really looking forward to it."
Aquin heads into the playoffs losers of two of their last three, but they also head in with the area's leading passer. Aiden Chang has thrown for 2,588 yards with 30 touchdowns to 13 interceptions, and he has 334 pass attempts, compared to Pond's 64.
While the Eagles have not faced a passing attack anywhere near the caliber of Aquin's, this year, or maybe ever, added Ambrogio, their confidence is still high headed in. Many of the Eagle players, those who were around for the 2010 playoff loss, and those who weren't, believe "the past is the past; this is a new year, a new team and a new chance to go out and get some respect," said fourth-year varsity player, cornerback Max Potter.

LAKELAND, Fla. — The Barry Buccaneers survived a scare on Tuesday to advance to the NCAA Division II National Championships at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla., with a third-place finish in the South/Southeast Super Region 2 Tournament at Lone Palm Golf Club. The Bucs shot a final round 301 to finish behind only tournament winner Lynn and defending national champ Nova Southeastern.
Heading into the final day in third place, the Bucs had moved into a tie for second place heading down the home stretch in the final round. Barry held on, becoming one of three teams from the regional to qualify for the National Championships May 15-18.
It marks the second straight year the Buccaneers qualified for the championships.
"We're proud of them. It was really windy all week, and we really fought through it well," head coach Shannon Sykora said. "We realize now that we can compete with the best teams in the country, and we're pumped to get a chance to go back to the national championship."
Barry finished the tournament with a 312-294-301 — 907 (+43) score. Their second-round 294 was the low of the tournament for the entire nine-team field over the three rounds. Lynn captured the title, shooting 305-298-297 — 900 (+36), while Nova Southeastern ended up second at 298-306-300 — 904 (+40).
Nicky Ferre continued to lead the Bucs. She finished third individually with a three-round score of 76-72-75 — 223 (+7). Maria Paola Fiorio, who got better each day, finished tied for 13th at 81-74-73 — 228. Nancy Vergara also had her best round on the last day, finishing tied for 19th at 77-80-74 — 231. Taylor Babcock completed the Buccaneer entry, tied for 23rd, after shooting 78-76-79 — 233.
Annie Dulman of Rollins took the individual medal. She shot 74-73-70 — 217. She will advance to the nationals site, along with Teresa Hernani of Lander, who finished sixth after shooting 77-73-75 — 225. The final individual to qualify was Kristen Sammarco of Armstrong Atlantic, who survived a two-hole, three-way playoff.
Barry will be making its third appearance in school history in the NCAA Championships.

There's a Q&A on TribalWar.com with Tim Aste getting the lowdown from GarageGames on the flurry of rumors that they are working on a "spiritual successor" to the TRIBES series. Tim clarifies that plans for a GDC tech demo got a little blown out of proportion, and that while it is possible that a game project will result from all this, such talk is premature. The good news comes in word that they intend to eventually freely release the Tech Demo that spurred all this talk of a new TRIBES game publicly, but they are also not closing the door on the possibility that a game will come from all of this:

Combine herbicide decisions
As harvest continues at a rapid pace, that time on the combine should also be spent surveying fields to determine your 2011 weed control program.
"Now is the perfect time to evaluate what weed species were not controlled with your current herbicide program," says Aaron Hager, Extension weed science specialist at the University of Illinois.
Weeds like waterhemp, giant ragweed and lambsquarters can be identified during harvest, and appropriate new modes of action, including a preemergence program, can be included next spring.
"Multiple modes of action on specific weed species, especially those that are glyphosate tolerant, can help provide more complete season-long weed control," Hager says.
The addition of a preemergence herbicide to complement a postemergence program has gained in popularity as producers look for additional flexibility in their weed control options, combat glyphosate-resistant weeds, and ensure control of yield-robbing early weed competition.

As the whole Osama bin Laden killing was playing out last night, I wondered to myself what the reaction from the GOP would be. I had a brief period when I thought that maybe they would see that this is a victory for all Americans, right and left. A victory for all the families and victims of Osama bin Laden's treachery and maybe it would be a time for us to come together across political divides. Ya right! The thought lasted for about a millisecond in my "Theraflu Cold" addled brain. Sarah Posner at Religion Dispatches found one of the more outrageous and just plain crazy responses from one of Pat Robertson's people…(emphasis mine)
I know President Obama understands that getting Bin Laden doesn't mean an end to the war on terrorism but how about a smile? How about showing a little joy? How about a word or two saying something about how this is no doubt a happy or joyous occasion for Americans? We got nothing like that at all. Instead, we got Mr. Monotone. Mr. Bars and Tone. Mr. Non-Emotion. President Obama missed an opportunity to connect with Americans last night.
So why did he announce the big news like he was reading the dictionary? You know the answer. It's because his speech wasn't so much aimed at Americans. He was being careful of how the "Arab Street" would interpret his remarks. Any hint of gloating or happiness might be rubbing it in the face of some of the crazies in the Arab World and heaven forbid we get them upset! How dare we Americans look like we're celebrating his death! The travesty of it all! Give me a break. Isn't it time to stop catering to thugs?
So apparently the ACTUAL death of Osama bin Laden isn't going to be interpreted negatively, but the President was not smiling because he didn't want the "Arab Street" to misinterpret his remarks. I haven't read many of the other wingnut responses but I have to imagine that this one ranks right up there as one of the most idiotic ones. Killing Osama bin Laden and then being grave and serious about it is catering to thugs?

Last Thursday, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack announced several measures the Obama Administration is taking to promote domestic renewable energy production, many of which would affect biofuels.
The Secretary announced the publication of a final rule to implement the Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP). Under this rule which is being published this week, USDA will resume making payments to eligible producers. The program had operated as a pilot, pending publication of the final rule.
Authorized in the 2008 farm bill, BCAP is designed to ensure that a sufficiently large base of new, non-food, non-feed biomass crops is established in anticipation of future demand for renewable energy consumption.
BCAP provides assistance for the establishment and production of renewable biomass crops within specified project areas. Producers who enter into BCAP contracts may receive payments of up to 75 percent of the cost of establishing eligible perennial crops. They also can receive payments for up to five years for annual or non-woody perennial crops and up to 15 years for woody perennial crops.
FSA is accepting project area proposals. After these proposals have been approved, eligible producers may participate by enrolling at their FSA county office. Producers should contact their FSA state offices or visit www.fsa.usda.gov/bcap for more information.
BCAP also assists agricultural and forest landowners and operators by providing matching payments for the transportation of certain eligible materials that are sold to qualified biomass conversion facilities. The facilities convert the materials into heat, power, biobased products or advanced biofuels.
BCAP will pay producers for the establishment and maintenance of perennial crops (e.g., switchgrass, big bluestem, etc). The other portion of BCAP is assistance for the collection, harvest, storage and transportation of biomass to biomass conversion facilities. It will be available for two years, per producer, in the form of a matching payment for up to $45 per ton of the delivery cost to the facility. This is what Project LIBERTY, POET's 25-million-gallon-per year cellulosic ethanol facility, is using. (Project LIBERTY is expected to begin producing commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol by the end of next year, using corn cobs and corn residue as primary feedstocks.)
"We're working with farmers right now who are harvesting biomass, so we're pleased that they will soon become eligible for matching payments through BCAP," says Nathan Schock, director of public relations, POET. "This program is designed to help bolster income for biomass farmers during their first years of operation, to defray some of those initial costs. Having the final rule completed will be an important component for both POET and other cellulosic ethanol producers to establish a market for biomass."
Blender Pumps
Secretary Vilsack also said that the administration supports funding to install 10,000 blender pumps over the next five years.
"Market access is the number one barrier that the ethanol industry faces in offsetting more imported oil," POET's Schock says. "It's great that the government recognizes the problem and is being active in helping to alleviate it. This program will drastically expand drivers' access to higher blends of ethanol."
In his speech before the National Press Club last week, Secretary Vilsack also said the administration supports extending the ethanol blenders tax credit.
"We need to maintain support for the ethanol industry as the effects of our dependence on foreign oil become more evident every day," Schock told Farm Industry News. "We're hopeful that the proposal forwarded by Growth Energy and others in the ethanol industry will be successful. This proposal calls for a short-term extension of the blenders' credit while we work to modernize the program to shift its focus toward improving market access through blender pumps, FFVs and ethanol pipelines."
Biodiesel Tax Credit
The Secretary also said that the administration supports renewing the expired biodiesel tax credit.
"The National Biodiesel Board [NBB] sincerely appreciates Secretary Vilsack's continued support for reinstating and extending the biodiesel tax incentive," said Manning Feraci, vice president of federal affairs, NBB. "By making biodiesel price competitive with conventional diesel fuel, it has helped spur the development of a commercial-scale domestic biodiesel industry capable of displacing millions of gallons of petroleum diesel fuel with a clean burning advanced biofuel."
The lapse of the tax incentive and the market uncertainty it has caused has had a detrimental impact on the industry, Feraci said. "As the Secretary noted in his speech, it has cost the nation thousands of good-paying jobs."
"The U.S. biodiesel industry has been and will continue working with a broad range of stakeholders to urge Congress to seamlessly extend the biodiesel tax incentive when it reconvenes after the elections for the lame-duck session," Feraci told Farm Industry News.
The NBB looks forward to working with the administration on efforts to enhance biofuels infrastructure and feedstock research. "Though biodiesel is fungible with existing infrastructure and diesel engines, enhancements such as additional terminal infrastructure would bolster the nationwide distribution of biodiesel," Feraci said. "And we look forward to collaboratively working with USDA to develop new and enhance existing lipid sources that can be used to produce biodiesel."
In his speech last week, Secretary Vilsack said, "By producing more biofuels in America, we will create jobs, combat global warming, replace our dependence on foreign oil and build a stronger foundation for the 21st century economy."

Buchholz boys basketball fell to Ocala Forest, 61-59 in overtime at Bud Seymour Gymnasium.
If there was ever an example on how valuable free throw shooting is in basketball, Buchholz certainly reaffirmed it Wednesday night at Bud Seymour Gymnasium.
The Bobcats, looking to knock off District 1-7A frontrunner Ocala Forest, hit on just 7 of 18 from the line for the game and 3 of 6 in overtime in falling to the Wildcats, 61-59.
The setback overshadowed an outstanding performance by senior Dedric Ross, who had a game-high 23 points and was a perfect 2-for-2 at the line. Instead, Buchholz dropped to 10-12 overall and 1-5 in District 1-7A, with four of those losses by five points or less.
"When you go 7 of 18 from the foul line you shouldn't win a game," said Bobcats coach Bob Horodyski. "When you are that inept from the foul line you don't deserve to win.
"Give Forest credit, they won the game because they could step up and make free throws and we couldn't. Offensively we were fine, defensively we were fine, but when you miss 11 free throws, you leave the game out there. And we did."
Ross had 11 of his points in the second period as Buchholz clinged to a 30-28 lead over Forest at the half.
A 3-pointer by James Arvin and inside basket from Ross match the Bobcats' biggest lead of the game (41-36), but the Wildcats whittled it to three (43-40) heading into the fourth. The Wildcats went on a 11-3 run to open their own five-point lead (51-46) with 2:10 left in the game. But the Bobcats responded and a late 3-pointer from sophomore Bryan Chalifoux to tie the game at 51-all, which stood up as regulation ended, forcing overtime.
Another basket by Chalifoux, who finished with 15 points, put Buchholz ahead 58-55 with 1:21 remaining. But two free throws by Zach Davis, who had 17 points on the game, and a huge three-point play from sophomore center Geron Christian, who finished with a team-high 18, put Forest ahead to stay at 60-59.
Dale Whitehead's baseline jumper with 15 seconds left missed for Buchholz, and Davis rebounded it for the Wildcats and was fouled. He connected on 1 of 2 free throw attempts and Forest capped its district schedule with a perfect 7-0 record and improved 17-4 overall.
The Wildcats will enter district tournament as the top seed when it starts on Feb. 5 at Tallahassee Lincoln.
"We continue to preach to the guys to play defense and one possession at a time," said Wildcat coach Steve Powell. "To just keep fighting and keep working. It doesn't matter if we get down in overtime, four minutes is a long time. The guys kept fighting and they kept believing we had an opportunity to win this game."
Next up for Buchholz is hosting the annual Bobcat Shootout, which begins on Friday and continues on Saturday.
On Friday, Buchholz takes on Newberry at 6 p.m., followed by Naples Golden Gate against Brooksville Hernando at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, Cornerstone faces Newberry at 3 p.m., followed by Buchholz against Golden Gate at 4:30 p.m. and Eastside taking on Melbourne at 6 p.m.

Ray LaHood Named Distinguished Fellow
August 21, 2013
Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation and U.S. Congressman Ray LaHood has been named the first Honorary Senior Distinguished Fellow for the Institute for Principled Leadership in Public Service (IPL) at Bradley University. Through his appointment former Secretary LaHood will participate in national public policy symposiums on Bradley's campus and guest lecture to Bradley students.
"The outstanding 36 year public service career of former Secretary Ray LaHood embodies the kind of principled leadership Bradley University seeks to develop in our students as they become the next generation of public service leaders," said Bradley University President Joanne Glasser.
Brad McMillan, Executive Director of IPL said, "Ray LaHood is the first Bradley alumnus asked to serve in a President's cabinet. He served with great distinction in the U.S. Congress for 14 years and his experiences in the public service arena will be of great benefit to Bradley students."
LaHood says he has a deep fondness for Bradley. "It is where I met my wife Kathy and received a great education. I believe that the Institute for Principled Leadership in Public Service at Bradley can inspire a new generation of public service leaders to use a bipartisan and collaborative approach to resolving America's toughest issues." He went on to say public service can be a notable profession worthy of the best and brightest graduates. "I am excited to be associated with the great work IPL is doing at Bradley University." He received his Bachelor of Science degree in education and sociology from Bradley in 1971 and served on the Bradley Board of Trustees from 1999-2006.
During his departing press conference as U.S. Secretary of Transportation, President Barack Obama stated, "Ray LaHood is an outstanding public servant who is a role model for the bipartisan leadership America so desperately needs." LaHood has modeled his career after some Central Illinois leaders who he felt embodied that spirit of bipartisanship.
Former Secretary LaHood said the people of Central Illinois should be proud that we have sent so many great officials to Washington and Springfield who are willing to work across party lines and compromise. "Bipartisanship is part of the rich political history of this region going back to Lincoln, who got Congress to pass Emancipation. Without U.S. Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, the Civil Rights Act never could've happened. And we can't forget Bob Michel, who worked with Tip O'Neil and Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton."
The Dirksen Congressional Center called LaHood's career one of distinction especially giving credit to his parliamentary knowledge and fair demeanor, citing one of the hallmarks of his career in Congress as his ability to bring a varied group of people together to work for the good of a community, the State, or on a particular issue. LaHood co-founded the Bipartisan Congressional Retreat, was a leader among the members of the Illinois Congressional delegation on issues important to the State, and convened meetings of local State legislators and elected officials to work on the priorities of local communities.
LaHood, a former U.S. Representative from Illinois (1994-2008), became the Secretary of Transportation under President Barack Obama in 2009. He led a 60,000-employee agency that regulates American aviation, highways, railroads, public transit, seaways, traffic safety and pipelines, among other modes of transportation. In 1998 he was called upon to preside over House impeachment hearings for President Bill Clinton. Previously, he served in the Illinois House of Representatives in 1982 and 1983, and, before and after that period, as an aide to other Illinois congressional representatives (1977-1982 and 1983-1994). LaHood is the only Republican Obama cabinet nominee who has served in elective office.
The Institute for Principled Leadership in Public Service at Bradley University promotes a return to statesmanship at all levels of government. Its goal is to become a Midwestern think tank advocating for a bipartisan leadership approach to resolve America's most pressing problems.

Tips On Selecting Wedding Flowers
Many brides love flowers and delight in planning the flowers for their wedding ceremony and reception. Fresh and healthy flowers really create a beautiful and polished atmosphere both for the wedding ceremony and reception. All those brides and grooms who have gardening and horticultural knowledge will be able to utilize their experiences when it comes to deciding upon which flowers and floral designs you would like for your special day.
I myself have been gardening for fifteen years and have experience working in a flower shop, so I will share my own tips for selecting bridal flowers.
1) Consider the bride and the groom's favorite flowers and colors.
2) Consider the appearance, size, shape, color, and fragrance of the flowers.
3) Consider buying flowers in season and locally grown, as this is cheaper and better for the environment as the flowers don't have to be imported from another country or state.
4) It is recommended that the bride and groom make a consultation with florists at two or three different flower shops. Come prepared with your questions, your price range, and a list of your favorite flowers.
5) Select flowers with shapes and colors that compliment the bride's complexion, hair color, overall appearance and wedding gown.
6) Choose flowers that flatter bridesmaids and their dresses, and the groom, groomsmen and their tuxedos.
7) Think about the style you want to achieve:
a) Traditional
b) Contemporary/modern
8) Think about the time of day of the wedding ceremony, wedding photographs, and wedding reception. The goal is to have the flowers remain fresh and healthy for the ceremony, photographs, and reception. Flowers like roses need water picks to hold water and Gerbera daisies require a lot of water to remain healthy.
9) Keep in mind the location of your ceremony and purchase flowers to decorate that flatter the colors and lighting of the church or hall.
10) Think about the location of your reception and purchase flowers to decorate that flatter the colors, furniture, and lighting of the reception site.
11) Get recommendations from family and friends on the flowers that they had at their own weddings.
12) Discover ideas for floral designs in wedding magazines and on bridal websites.
13) Remember to keep in mind the cost of each flower. Flowers that are readily available are cheaper than more exotic and hard-to-find flowers.
14) Reflect on all of your wedding floral needs:
- For the Ceremony; flowers for church pews, altar, registry table, front platform, outside church doors, church foyer
- For Reception; floral centerpiece for each dinner table, special centerpieces for wedding party's table
- Bridal bouquet
- Bridesmaids bouquets
- Groom's boutonniere
- Mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom corsages
- Groomsmen's boutonniere
- Boutonniere for father-of-the-bride and father-of-the-groom
- Bride's bouquet for bouquet toss
- Flower girl's flowers
- Ring bearer's boutonniere
Enjoy planning your wedding. Take time to smell the roses!

Hey panzerfaust
You just missed a winter strom but there are probably more on the way and spring is just around the corner. Spring is really the best time in the inner bay like Alameda. Also Wadell Creek goes off in the early spring. I am definitly heading down to Wadell a lot more this year. Hopefully this site will help round up the troops to head down there.
Blair you decided to go with the boxers?? Last time I talked to you you were looking to get a new quiver. Sometimes it's hard to find kites that are better than the kites your used to. I still have my 03 GXR and fuel just in case.
Yeah i got a sweet deal on a quiver at the end of the summer. If I had known about the WW deal i probably would have went with that like you did. I like the boxers. I think they fly way better than the 03 cautions I had/have.
Re: storms
Ya, I hate getting up early but it is worth it if I get to kite. I already missed a couple sessions from not getting out of bed but I am going to try and not make that mistake anymore. You will know when you see me. Just look for the guy doing the insane jumps on a kite that is one size bigger then the conditions. You know what I'm talkin about!!
i feel the wind blows better in the am in the winter stroms
this is not allways the case?
pluse i like to have screch and rescue daylight like 2hours before sunset
but thats just me , as you know WIND is key so ill look for ya.

People are all too wary of product placement now. Audiences will knowingly roll their eyes at Bond knocking back a neither-shaken-nor-stirred Heineken because they've seen it all before. So are there any ways to do it that aren't offensive? The last remaining safe place for product placement and sponsorship seems to be reality TV; people who watch that sort of thing care less about what you stuff down their faces than the audience for a hollywood movie. Just look at Samsung's X Factor invasion.
And that's probably why Microsoft's now exploring that avenue for the launch of racing game Forza Horizon – which is as much the star of a new online reality TV show as the people in it. Will it push the envelope to tearing point? Read more

Anyway, I guess that I will be looking forward to the part two of the movie where all the climax is there.

Just in from watching it... It wasn't bad, though I guess some parts were a little too slow for comfort. However, generally, it was okay - I guess it's mostly because the premise itself is fine. It was a bit confusing at first because they had shifted everything and changed the Naomi Misora thing a bit, but generally it was still fun watching Light come up with those elaborate plans like his contact with Ray.
Probably the biggest nitpick for now is that Light's actor doesn't look the part at all. He's not a bad actor per se but he looks too old sometimes, and there was also something off that I couldn't really pin down. Maybe he just didn't feel natural.
On the other hand, I thought L was quite fine, and the fangirls in the audience were more than 10000x pleased with him .

But maybe because I have read the manga before.....Light ,the megalomaniac, having a girlfriend feels kinda wrong. In the manga, he is too self important to be involve in a relationship if it does not serve a purpose. So what was he doing with Shiori before he got the DN ?

Well, I thought he looked too old to be a university student even (although there are people like that, I never imagined Raito to look like that) And I agree about the roundness. I guess they couldn't find anyone who looked like Raito and could act well enough too... If I'm not wrong I think I saw Eiji Wentz as one of the broadcasters.
The theatre I went to had hardly anyone in it - probably about 15-20 people in total? But everyone laughed at Ryuk's antics. The apple bit was really cute Oh, and at Matsuda as well! Watching this reminded me how I always like characters like that. Him just suddenly finishing sentences for others in a burst of genius...
Dear L, the shinigami likes to... eat apples!!

Thanks God tt I am not the only one that is unpleased with the Movie's Raito actor. Seriously, I don't really see how he fits inside the role. He juz dun look any "Raito-ness" to me. And yeah! at his roundness... =\ Again, no offence to his fans. Juz personal opinion. Hehz :P
Yup Yup, I agree that many will like L actor instead. He looks pretty juz right for the char.

I just watched the movie yesterday and I must say I'm really disappointed with Light's actor. In the manga, Light often sharpen his eyes to give us the evil and scheming look, which I find cool. But i guess it isn't possible in real life. Also, his face just doesn't tell me he is a genius lol. They did not emphasise on Light's ridiculously high IQ as much as in the manga, which is disappointing too lol.
