pft he could bribe someone
but this show is great. I love the 2 second trailer for the show. more bang for the buck

My current guess would be his brother, which would of course, make her, his niece.
by xaraan » Tue Oct 29, 2013 9:55 pmI've kind of lost interest in this show. They try a bit too hard to make Spader some sort of badass, he has little depth. And the feds are beyond stupid. When it's that easy to outsmart them, outsmarting them isn't really a big deal.

Only Fed I don't like is the red head dude
by xaraan » Tue Oct 29, 2013 10:01 pmWell, Angela is still recording it and watching it; so I still will probably see most episodes. Maybe once it gets into things more it will hook me, but so far I haven't liked any of the characters.
by BubbaKanoosh » Mon Nov 11, 2013 11:03 pmHe is the father...
Had an affair with some psycho it looks like, and for the Lizzy's safety gave it to her dad to look after..
The greatest scene is the Red and the hubbie had that face to face...
The hubbie knows who Red is, and Red knew the hubbie knew him...
subtle threats... great ep. A lot of moving forward.
Man, Andrew Dice Clay look like hell.
by The Old Doctor » Tue Nov 12, 2013 11:28 am
Yeah, it does look like that. Her mom's story should be an interesting one, but also that she has half siblings from his marriage.
The hubbie scene was awesome with the threat. Reddington seems to be going into very protective mode now.
ADC was there? Didn't recognize him... wow.
by BubbaKanoosh » Tue Nov 12, 2013 1:21 pmDice was the plastic surgeon.
I found it interesting that the hubbie knew who Red was. Even though during the show they haven't been face to face, the obviously know who each other are.
by Stephen Day » Tue Nov 12, 2013 5:37 pm
Agreed, up until last night I thought he might be a long lost uncle or something like that, but last night they all but came out and said that he was her father.
by The Old Doctor » Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:29 pm
Red seems to be the "know all" type.
by The Old Doctor » Tue Nov 12, 2013 8:30 pm
Unless the violent gal is his sister and then...
by BubbaKanoosh » Tue Nov 12, 2013 10:21 pm
Well, we knew Red knows the husbands deal, but the fact that the husband knows who Red is is what I find intriguing..
And the people up in the attic? We know they don't work for Red because they thought the husband worked for him, which they now know he doesn't... Are they watching the husband or lizzie?
by Strict31 » Wed Nov 13, 2013 4:06 am
Why on earth would you assume from that scene that the hubs had any idea who Red was? If he did, why wouldn't he have spoken plainly?
The problem I have with this show is not isolated to this particular series; things that seem obvious to me in many shows are often meant to be subtle, and right now, the obvious thing is that Red is her pops. It seems so painfully obvious that it's as if they are beating the audience over the head with the mighty hammer of distraction.
In other words, it seems too obvious to be correct. But maybe it just seems too obvious to me because, hey, I've seen Star Wars. Maybe the writers think it's not obvious at all, and maybe that's the direction they wish to go. I can no longer tell with TV shows because I'm not representative of their baseline audience member.
I think about this shit as a writer, and if I were writing this story, I'd probably throw out an obvious clue to distract the audience with a premature conclusion. Or, I'd hit them with the obvious reveal, only to throw an unforeseen twist into it.
So...is Red her daddy? If so, it seems rather early to do that storywise. But maybe the writers are unaware of exactly how obvious it is.
But as I said earlier in the thread, I cannot imagine any other relationship between Red and Lizzy which would successfully cause me to give a shit. It just wouldn't have the same impact for me if he's, oh, her uncle. Or if they are both aliens from a planet that blew up and they're the last survivors. Or if they were both created in a lab using shark and tiger DNA.
...Actually...that would be quite compelling.
by BubbaKanoosh » Wed Nov 13, 2013 6:56 amIt was the double take the husband did..

When Dress For Success came out in 1975, it set rigid rules for executive attire: The "proper" colors for a suit were blue, gray and beige; the most "authoritative" suit was a dark pinstripe; and the "most acceptable" dress shirt was white or solid colors. (No dresses here; The Women's Dress For Success Book didn't come out until 1977.)
Today, there are no rules, other than being put-together from head to toe, no detail spared. The proper colors are ones that work with your coloring, the most authoritative clothes are ones that fit impeccably, and pretty much any shirt, dress or jacket is acceptable if it projects the right image for your company and industry. Dressing for success means finding the look that works, and sticking to it.
"There's a power to looking consistent," says Jon Patrick, creative director of men's custom clothier J. Hilburn. "It makes you seem focused."
Here are the CEOs who have it down pat.

Audi Melges 20 — 3Menda Wins The 35th Edition of the Winter Interlake Championship
2 November 2009
The 35th edition of the Winter Interlake Championship - Credito Valtellinese Trophee, organized by the Canottieri Lecco sailing club, was held on Lake Como from the 31st October to the 1st November. On the start line there were 71 boats divided into 8 classes; a large fleet of Audi Melges 20 was among them.
At the end of the 1st day, with 6 to 13 knots of breeze, Federico Albano's 3Menda was number one in the provisional ranking. Thanks to two wins on four matches they managed to obtain a comfortable margin. Because of the lack of wind on Sunday, the situation remained unchanged and 3Menda won the 2009 edition of the Winter Interlake Championship.
Here the details of every match.
RACE ONE : At 9:05 am the jury gave the start to the Audi Melges 20 1st match. With 13 knots of breeze the boats began a real fight; the fleet remained compact to the 1st buoy, where Federico Albano's ITA137 3Menda was the 1st to turn, followed by Marco Morina's ITA144 Sei Tu 20 and Alessandro Rombelli's ITA65 Aria Fritta. Dario Levi's ITA50 Fremito D'Arja and Renato Vallivero's ITA126 Turnover came after. Successive sailing close to the wind with unchanged positions and last stern with Federico Albano's win.
RACE TWO : Because of the decrease in the wind strength it was feared that the regatta would be delayed, but luckily the wind increased around 6 knots. Marco Morina's Sei Tu 20 wins after leading the race from the beginning. Great tactic and sailing for this young team, that stood out thanks to its bravery and competitive spirit.
RACE THREE : Unstable conditions and 6 knots of breeze brought on an incident for a member of the crew of a Platu 25 as they had to be pulled out of the water by the Committee boat. Bad year for a Flying Star and dismast for the Ariel crew of the helmsman Ilaria Moretti on Orza Minore.
RACE FOUR : It was in doubt until the last minute, but it took place and gave Renato Vallivero's ITA126 victory over Turnover. It was the perfect regatta, fought to the last length.
1. 3Menda - Federico Albano - Cv Lerici - 1/1/3/4
2. Sei tu 20 - Marco Morina - Cn Rimini - 3/2/1/5
3. Aria Fritta - Alessandro Rombelli - 2/3/5/2
4. Fremito d'Aria - Dario Levi - 4/4/2/3
5. Turnover - Renato Vallivero - 5/5/4/1

First 'Dream House' Trailer Features Shirtless Daniel Craig and Lots of Spoilers.
It's become something of a trend over the past few years for studios to release trailers with spoilers in them. We have no idea why they do this, but it annoys us to no end. That being said, we can't recall a recent time when we saw a trailer that was more spoilerific than this new clip for the thriller Dream House.
What starts off as a traditional trailer chronicling how Daniel Craig, Rachel Weisz, and their two children move into their dream home only to learn it was the scene of a horrific, unsolved murder where a husband was suspected killing his family quickly veers off into spoiler-land as it reveals the film's huge, Shyamalan-esque, twist. We'll not spoil that here, but it's stunning to think a studio would sabotage their own feature in such a way.
Dream House had a troubled production according to various sources – Cinemablend reports that stars (and real-life husband and wife) Craig and Weisz are so unhappy with the finished film that they may not even do press for it. Meanwhile, rumors abound that director Jim Sheridan essentially lost control of the film and Universal took over. That's never a good thing. This is a missed opportunity for the studio – film press the world over would have flocked to junkets with Craig and Weisz if for no other reason than to ask them about they fell in love on the set.
Dream House is set to move into theaters this September. Until then, the adventurous amongst you can check out the trailer below. After seeing it, you'll probably save yourself $10 because you won't need to pay to watch the full length film. All the pertinent stuff is covered in two minutes: big plot twist, spooky things that may be ghosts, Naomi Watts looking pained, and the obligatory "Daniel Craig with no shirt on" shot are all here. Maybe we should thank Universal for saving us all a few dollars in these tough economic times. Yeah, that's the ticket…

Pope Francis in a recent homily remarked that "Jesus' invitation to mercy is intended to draw us into a deeper imitation of God our Father: Be merciful, as your Father is merciful."
This basic insight into mercy has been contemplated for centuries. Mercy, wrote St. Ambrose in the fourth century, "is a good thing, for it makes men perfect, in that it imitates the perfect Father. Nothing graces the Christian soul so much as mercy."
The words "mercy" and "merciful" appear around 150 times in Scripture. Hesed, or tender mercy, is God's greatest characteristic in the Old Testament. For example, Moses was told that the Lord is "merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" (Ex 34:6). King David, who knew something about sin and justice, wrote, "Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy steadfast love; according to thy abundant mercy blot out my transgressions" (Ps 51:3). This mercy is boundless and undeserved compassion; in the New Testament it is called agape, which is pure love.
To be merciful is to love with the heart of God, which is why Jesus, in the Beatitudes, stated, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Mt 5:7). To be blessed is to share in the very life of God, and God is perfect love and unfathomable mercy. St. Peter, in today's Epistle, also connects the two, writing, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in his great mercy gave us a new birth to a living hope ..."
Mercy, of course, does not ignore sin; on the contrary, mercy addresses and overcomes sin. The Son, by becoming man and being willing to die for the sins of the world, exhibited mercy in a most remarkable manner. Our new birth to a real and living hope, remarked Peter, is "through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you ..."
We show mercy to others, not by ignoring or downplaying their sins, but by loving them and helping them to embrace God's gift of forgiveness.
Fourteen years ago this month, Pope John Paul II officially established this Second Sunday of Easter as Divine Mercy Sunday, recognizing the private revelations given by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-38). The Polish nun saw two rays of light shining from the heart of Christ, which, he explained to her, "represent blood and water." John Paul II reflected upon her visions, writing: "Blood and water! We immediately think of the testimony given by the Evangelist John, who, when a solider on Calvary pierced Christ's side with his spear, sees blood and water flowing from it (cf. Jn 19:34). Moreover, if the blood recalls the sacrifice of the cross and the gift of the Eucharist, the water, in Johannine symbolism, represents not only baptism but also the gift of the Holy Spirit (cf. Jn 3:5; 4:14; 7:37-39)."
Pope John Paul II emphasized that the divine mercy is radically demonstrated in God's sacrificial self-gift, flowing from the heart of the Father, who is "rich in mercy" (Eph 2:4). In his 1980 encyclical Dives in Misericordia ("On the Mercy of God"), John Paul II wrote that Jesus Christ not only spoke of mercy, "but above all, he himself makes it incarnate and personifies it. He himself, in a certain sense, is mercy" (No. 2). And we, in turn, are to be witnesses to that mercy, in word and deed.

Thread: Berdoues 1902 Eau de Colognes
There seems to have been a lot of discussion lately about "classic" Eau de Colognes - so I was wandering about Berdoues 1902 Eau de Colognes.
I have seen these being sold in Caswell-Massey stores. But on several occasions I have seen a gift set of 4 from their Premium collection (Lavender, Cardamom, Green Tea and Citrus) being sold in Marshalls (each bottle is 1.65 oz and I think the total price for the set was $12.99). Now this past weekend, I saw 2 different selections from their Tradition collection (Naturelle and Vetyver) being sold in TJ Maxx (each bottle was 15.84 oz and was priced at $7.99!).
Has anybody used any of these before, and if so, what are your thoughts/comments?
I have never heard of them but if you can get bottles for basically the price of samples, please buy them and let us know what you think!
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, ...... I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost
I own the Vetyver, the Green Tea, and the Lavender, all in 100ml bottles. I have tested the Citrus, which I like, and the Cardamom, which I never came to terms with.
I think these are good buys, especially for the price you mentioned. Even though they are listed as colognes, they are fairly long lasting. The Green Tea makes it through most of a normal work day. I've probably worn that one the most, followed by the Vetyver and then the Lavender.
They smell good to me and I like wearing them. They are fine for summer wear, too. I don't think that any of them are very complex, but that's not the point of their existence. They are inexpensive, relatively simple and light, somewhat refreshing scents to be used liberally and without too much thinking. Buy and enjoy!

Morristown -- The third annual Sustainability Challenge was held Thursday, May 23, amid the morning rush hour, slight rainfall and overcast skies. The challenge was to see which form(s) of sustainable transportation could easily take a commuter from the Madison train station to the Hyatt Hotel in Morristown, during rush hour, and if there would be significant differences in the amount of time needed to cover the 5.5-mile course.
This year there was a wide variety in the vehicles and riders that chose to accept the challenge. At exactly 8:40 AM the starting signal was given and the seven participants sprang into action.
Matt Vance, an attorney in private practice in Morristown, took his folding bike in hand and got on the NJTransit train heading for the Morristown Rail Station before reassembling the bike and riding the last mile to the Hyatt. Marty Epstein of Marty's Reliable Cycles and Bill Riddick the Executive Director of the Grand Fondo took off on road bikes using public streets all of the way.
Eric Noonan manager of the Repair Department at Marty's Reliable Cycles followed the same route but rode a cycle on which he had added an electric assist motor. Kevin Coughlin, a reporter, and Laura Lannin, the CFO of Homeless Solutions, also rode road-equipped cycles but they rode on the Traction Line an off the road path, which is a Morris County Park that runs parallel to the train tracks, for most of the journey. Because of this, they did not have to deal with much of the traffic or any red lights along the route. Finally Don Watt of TransOptions drove the route in a fuel efficient car.
The Challenge that had started at 8:40 AM was first completed by Eric Noonan riding the electric assist Bicycle who finished the course in only 17 minutes by arriving at the Hyatt at 8:57 AM. Two minutes later, Epstein and Riddick, the road cyclists arrived. They were ahead of the car, which arrived another minute later. It was now 9:04 AM and Matt Vance, a defending Champion from the first event, arrived on the folding bike.
The "off the road" cyclists arrived just a few minutes later after having enjoyed the slightly more scenic route. All were treated to coffee and snacks by the Manager of the Hyatt and his staff who were great hosts and supporters.
Asked why this event is important, Epstein said that he wanted to draw people's attention to "the sustainable options that are available to people and to point out that people in cars don't necessarily arrive at the destination any sooner."
Bill Riddick then added that those in cars often have to deal with traffic and delay while the people that cycle and use other active forms of transportation "burn calories, improve their fitness levels and avoid polluting the atmosphere."
All of the participants said that they were glad that they had participated and hoped that this event had inspired some more people to try a sustainable alternate form of transportation.

Feds Say It's Classified Info To Say Who We're At War With
from the why,-we've-always-been-at-war-with-eurasia dept
At a hearing in May, Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., asked the Defense Department to provide him with a current list of Al Qaeda affiliates.The Pentagon also went on to tell ProPublica that revealing who we're actually at war with would do "serious damage to national security." The main reason? They think those groups would use the info as good publicity and allow them to recruit more. But that's ridiculous, since those groups are already being targeted by the US:
The Pentagon responded – but Levin's office told ProPublica they aren't allowed to share it. Kathleen Long, a spokeswoman for Levin, would say only that the department's "answer included the information requested."
Jack Goldsmith, a professor at Harvard Law who served as a legal counsel during the Bush administration and has written [6] on this question [7] at length, told ProPublica that the Pentagon's reasoning for keeping the affiliates secret seems weak. "If the organizations are 'inflated' enough to be targeted with military force, why cannot they be mentioned publicly?" Goldsmith said. He added that there is "a countervailing very important interest in the public knowing who the government is fighting against in its name."It really goes beyond that when you think about it. This lack of transparency out of some silly fear that these groups would use it to build up their own reputation is just wacky. It leaves open such massive loopholes for abuse by the government.
Every time we talk about things like this, people trot out the same old joke: it really means that "the public" is "the enemy." That, obviously, is an exaggeration, but the level of secrecy around all of these kinds of efforts -- in the mistaken belief that letting anyone know who you're fighting and what you're doing will somehow undermine the whole campaign -- is entirely antithetical to the kind of example we should be setting around the globe. And, of course, it's doubly ironic that the very same people who are defending this lack of transparency are the ones who trot out the "if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide." The obvious response, then, is that we should be asking exactly what our government is trying to hide, because it sure sounds like they've done a lot of things wrong.

Since I've got nothing specifically work related, I thought I'd bring up another topic, one that doesn't get discussed much: for those of us who've been around the country, what cities would you most like to work in, with all employer-related issues being equal? This is my list. (Note that in at least a couple of these cities I'm fairly certain that all the ESL employers present are terrible.) 1. Izmir has all the amenities of home, great food, low cost of living, great public transit, and broad streets that make it easy to breath. 2. Adana is another very Western city (despite being located in the south), the smallest of Turkey's "big" cities. (Antep, the next largest is generally considered mid-sized.) It's slightly prettier and much cleaner than Izmir, and stuff's open later. Drawbacks are that it's very hot and muggy and the summer, and it's a bit more expensive. And while Adana kebap is delicious, there isn't quite the same variety of food as in Izmir. Oh, and the public transit is comparatively bad, though the city center is walkable. (And of course there's no ferries.) It's a much more compact city than similarly-sized and nearby Gaziantep. 3. Kayseri is probably the least conservative of Turkey's famously conservative central Anatolian cities. Also beautiful, walkable, and has great food. 4. Trabzon is possibly the most beautiful city in Turkey, if you look away from the sea (the coastal highway is a serious eyesore). And it's one of the few inhabited cities in Turkey where I could really picture the history happening. On the other hand, it's a small city and not near anything. Also, while there's a great variety of food for a city its size, you can't get it spicy. Even if you order your food with aci biber, you'll get fresh sweet peppers, as I've found at several restaurants there. 5. Sivas is another stunningly beautiful, small city in the middle of nowhere. But I can't overstate how stunningly beautiful it is. Oh, and the food is great, though with less variety than larger cities. 6. Istanbul. I rank Istanbul low because it's way too large, and excessively crowded for my taste, but that said, it's a tremendously cosmopolitan city. If I liked crowds, I'd probably rank it second to Izmir. 7. Samsun is a mixture of old and new, and beautiful and ugly, it's cheap and has a laid-back feel, and the waterfront is far less ruined than in Trabzon. 8. Maraş. The ice cream is a mixed bag (I've had great and terrible ice cream there), but it's a lovely little city, and compared to nearby cities like Antep and Adana, the climate is fantastic. 9. Konya would rank a lot higher if it weren't for the infernally loud mosques, reminding the world that Konya is the Texas of Turkey (the ubiquitous headscarves do that too, but without the noise they'd just be part of the local color). Parts of the city feel like a slice of central Europe transplanted to central Anatolia, others keep the old Seljuk/Ottoman feel. But there's no escaping the earsplitting sound of the megaphones during the call to prayer. After visiting Konya, I resolved never to complain about use of megaphones by mosques elsewhere in Turkey again. But it's so beautiful, and so walkable, and the food is pretty good. Someday I hope Konya will discover (and act on) the notion of noise pollution, but I'm sure that's a long way off. Konya's the city that AKP supporters in Gaziantep call overly conservative. The remaining cities which I've been to I don't feel I'm familiar with enough to rate are too small to count as "cities" (places like Akhisar and Bergama) or in the case of Ankara, Bursa, Mersin, and Antep, are simply not places I'd live because I want to live in those cities. (I live in Antep now, only because it's the best job offer I got in Turkey. And no, thankfully not at Zirve.) Anybody else who's been around Turkey much have a list of your own? Or fervent disagreements regarding my take? Regards, ~Q Back to top sedaa91Joined: 07 Jan 2012Posts: 34 Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2012 3:10 pm Post subject: Where are you living now?

To me it looked like a dump. It did have a bit of ramshackle charm to it though, it reminded me of Latin America but without the color or tropical ambience. And the waterfront is of course ruined by the highway. I think the Lake Van area is the most beautiful I've seen in Turkey but the city itself seemed to me rather unremarkable, the castle is enormous.

I lived in both great apartments (Atasehir) and dumps (Kadikoy, Sirinevler). There are indeed a lot of good things about the city, but I can see where the people, noise, traffic etc. might be disturbing for many. I loathed Adana. It was brutally hot, boring and ugly. The only redeeming factor was the casino which closed many moons ago. However, it did provide me with my biggest laugh in Turkey -I went to the market near the American military base, and they were selling used Fruit Of The Loom underpants! Ditto for Gaziantep- boring, ugly and hot. I'm sorry, but I never got into the culture, food and history as much as some of you have. To me, with the exception of the top notch Iskender kebap, all of the other kebaps taste almost the same. I lived in Istanbul for 12 years, and I couldn't tell you one thing about its history.

I stayed in the old city, between the castle and the train station, and though that part of the city was reasonably pretty (and the hotel I stayed at was probably the nicest one I've stayed at in Turkey), it was surrounded by sprawling blocks of concrete and highways with no crosswalks; and pretty much all the food I had was terrible. Maybe next time I'll go there I'll have to stay by the embassies, if you can tell me which ones. (And frankly while I love Turkish food, I would welcome the opportunity to have some non-Turkish fare for a change.) I'm a bit surprised at your praise of Mersin, but then, maybe I didn't see the right things when I was there. I've been surprised how many Turks here rave about it. Maybe it helps that you have a car? Mersin doesn't seem to be very walkable (correct me if I'm wrong), and since I couldn't figure out the buses or dolmuşes in that city, I ended up hitchhiking and taking taxis, neither of which are preferred methods of transportation for me. I also found Mersin kind of dull, but that may be because I went there on a Sunday. As for Adana, I'm a bit surprised that you found it ugly, though hot and boring I get (I liked to hang out at Starbucks, where I could chat with other foreigners and Turkish English-speakers), especially the hot. On the other hand, one thing I loved about Adana was the large number of well-tended parks. Did Adana have those when you were there? The nicest of them were so clean it seemed to me like they couldn't be more than a few years old, at least in their current forms. Regards, ~Q Back to top parnettJoined: 29 Jun 2012Posts: 179Location: China Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2012 6:20 am Post subject: I lived in Gaziosmanpasa (I might be spelling it wrong). Most of the major embassies are located in that area (US, Canadian, European etc.). I lived between the Iraq Embassy (closed) and the Saudi Embassy (not much activity) directly across from a nice Italian restaurant. I would have to say it was the poshest section of the city. I liked Mersin simply because it was on the sea. I was only there for a few days, and the fact I stayed at the Mersin Hilton might have made it seem nicer than it was. When I was in Adana, there were no Starbucks. I never saw any of the parks. I do, however, remember the big park in Gaziantep near where I lived. It was well-kept and a very peaceful area to relax in. I used to jog there early on weekday mornings with everyone gawking at me. I recall a few of the incredibly poor villages between Adana and Gaziantep such as Bahce. I traveled to Cappadocia a few times, but don't recall the names of the cities/villages I visited. Back to top genericusernameJoined: 04 Dec 2012Posts: 29Location: Dubai Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 9:34 pm Post subject: I haven't been to Keyseri, but Eskesehir is a rockin' party town in central Anatolia. They have over 100,000 college students there, and a great bar district to rival most U.S. college towns. The prices for food are very low, as in a nice dinner for less than 10 TL. I like Konya for what it is, but I'm a big Mevlana fan, so sue me. Antalya is far better than Alanya. The Alanyans attitudes are horrible. If you work there, you have to be very careful where you drink because if the school gets a report about you drinking from a parent, it will be in the form of you are drunk even if you had 2 beers on a 4 hour cruise. Antalya is very liberal and the old town area of Kelici is like being in a post card with really nice bars and restaurants.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – A day after being named to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) All-Star First Team, sophomore Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) was selected to the NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III Men's All-America Third Team, as announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) on Friday morning. He is just the third MIT men's soccer player to be named an All-American, after Ben Lewis '13 last season and Nick Nestle '03 in 2003.
Bingham had quite the season: he broke a decade-old record for goals in a season with 21 and points in a season with 45, leading the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) in both categories. Although he has only played two seasons so far, he is tied for fourth in the MIT record book in career goals with 37. He was also named the conference's Athlete of the Year and was tabbed to the All-Conference first team. A few days before being named to the ECAC All-Star team, he was selected to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-New England first team.
With its record of 6-0-1 in conference games, the Engineers earned the regular season title and the right to host the NEWMAC Tournament for the first time in 10 years. After advancing over Coast Guard in penalty kicks in the semifinals and falling to Wheaton in the finals, MIT received an at-large bid to the 2013 NCAA Tournament, making its fourth national appearance in program history. Tech was defeated by Western New England in the first round, ending the season with a record of 13-5-2. The Cardinal and Gray remained undefeated in an impressive 12 consecutive games, winning or tying each game from Sept. 21 through Nov. 9. For guiding the team to such a successful season, Mike Singleton was named the NEWMAC Coach of the Year for the first time in his career.

GOODYEAR — Guillermo Moscoso took a step forward in his bid for the fifth starter's spot with three scoreless innings Friday night.
Moscoso has been working on his mechanics in side sessions, specifically on creating better balance. The improvement was noticeable against the Reds as "he pounded the strike zone," as manager Jim Tracy put it.
Moscoso allowed just one hit, while posting three strikeouts.
"My fastball and changeup were both better tonight. I was able to get ahead in some counts," Moscoso said. "Obviously, I want to be on this team and help in any way I can. There's a lot of talent here. That's the dream of everyone, to be in the big leagues."
Moscoso lived it last season with Oakland, which will help his cause according to Tracy. A journeyman, Moscoso took advantage of Oakland's injuries to become their best starter for several months.
"With Moscoso it goes beyond what we see here," said Tracy, referring to the right-hander's 3.38 ERA in 23 games last season with the Athletics.
Rookie Alex White struggled in his start Friday, the victim of a three-run home run by the Reds'Drew Stubbs. White wrestled with his command during his four innings.
"I am anxious to see if he will bounce back," Tracy said.
3B Blake improves
Third baseman Casey Blake had a private discussion with Tracy early Friday morning, then showed progress with his stiff neck. Tracy declined to discuss the details of their conversation. Blake said Thursday that he knows there's urgency to getting back on the field. But Tracy has downplayed that. Blake did take BP and fielded roughly 100 groundballs on Friday. He has sat out the last five days, and there's no timetable for his return. His $2 million contract is not guaranteed so he has to prove he can stay healthy and be productive to make the team.
Jhoulys Chacin's right index finger blister showed improvement Friday. He will start Tuesday. "It's not a big deal. If it had been during the regular season he could have pitched through it," Rockies' head trainer Keith Dugger said. Jamie Moyer has no muscle pull in his left leg, just general soreness from increased activity. As soon as he shows he can throw off the mound, the Rockies will look to put him back into a game, possibly before his next scheduled outing on Thursday. … Matt Reynolds impressed Tracy with an improved breaking ball against left-handers Friday.

CONWAY, Mass (Reuters) - A 20-month-old girl died after being attacked by as many as three pit bulls Friday evening inside an apartment house in West Haven, Connecticut, police said on Saturday.
After a neighbor from downstairs called police, officers and paramedics arrived at the top-floor apartment at about 6:13 p.m. Friday and found the toddler on the floor, bleeding and unconscious, said West Haven Police Officer Bret Schneider.
She was rushed to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, he said. West Haven is located a few miles south of New Haven on the central Connecticut coast.
After people in the home had locked the dogs in another room, police managed to subdue and remove them from the three-story building. The dogs were then euthanized.
"We believe all three dogs were involved in the attack, but they have to have (a) necropsy done" to determine that as part of the investigation, Officer Schneider said, referring to a post-mortem examination of the dogs.
Police had not yet determined whether the girl was alone when the attack took place. The infant may have been with family, visiting friends who lived in the apartment and owned the dogs, said Schneider.
It was too early to say whether any charges would be filed in the case, police said.

It is officially the "worst of times" in the Oklahoma Panhandle. On June 19, the US Drought Monitor upgraded the situation to its most severe drought rating: "D4 – Exceptional" for Cimarron and Texas Counties.
Despite conditions that are even dryer than the historic Dust Bowl of the 1930s, another catastrophic dust bowl is being averted thanks to conservation practices that have been put in place for the last 70 years.
Gary McManus, assistant state climatologist with the Oklahoma Climatological Survey, who advises the national drought monitor, toured Cimarron County June 24, with Cherrie Brown, USDA-Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) district conservationist in Boise City and Cimarron County Conservation District employees Iris Imler and James Belford. Terry Peach, Oklahoma's secretary of agriculture, toured the area with the Cimarron County Conservation District Board, Imler, Belford, Brown and county commissioners on July 2, to get a firsthand understanding of how severe the drought is.
The drought situation is indeed exceptionally severe: farmland is blowing away, cattle are being sold due to lack of feed, wells are going dry and crops are dying in the ground. This has significant impact in two counties that are completely reliant on agriculture production to support their economies. Recent storm clouds brought hope, but yielded little to no rain.
"Everything here is blown away, baked or sold off," Brown said. "It is hard to see ranchers selling off their entire herd, cows that have been part of the ranch for generations. They know these cattle by name; they were part of the family, not pets.
"This is seriously affecting people's lives," Brown said.
"As bad as it is, I really saw a lot of great work being done by farmers to save the land," McManus said. "I also saw instances where conservation practices weren't being used and saw the great damage being done above and beyond what Mother Nature has done.
"I really have to commend the farmers and ranchers out there for the conservation practices they have applied. That is what makes this drought, and the drought of the 1950s, different than the Dust Bowl. Through the Dust Bowl experiences people learned how to take better care of the land and that's evident in a situation this severe."
McManus, who was raised in Buffalo, Okla., is familiar with the Oklahoma Panhandle, yet was still unprepared for the impact the drought had on the land.
"I was demoralized it was so awful," he said. "I wasn't expecting Lake Etling to be dry or the country to be so gray and dead."
Boise City, in Cimarron County, has only received 1.72 inches of rain this year, a record low. Normal rainfall from January through June is supposed to be 9.25. The area ended 2007 with only 10.44 inches of rain recorded, more than an 8-inch deficit from the 18.68 inches of normal average annual rainfall. The area would have to receive more than 15 inches of rain just to catch up to normal.
Raised on a ranch in Texas County, and the wife of a local farmer and rancher, Brown has been helping Oklahoma Panhandle residents apply conservation practices to their land during the past 20 years she has worked for the NRCS. She credits co-workers, Iris Imler, the Cimarron County Conservation District clerk, and Jim Belford, district technician, and the Cimarron County Conservation District Board, for helping landowners apply so many conservation practices on the ground.
It stands to reason that the NRCS has played an influential role in this drought situation. The agency was created as the Soil Conservation Service within USDA on April 27, 1935, in response to the devastation of the Dust Bowl on the nation's agricultural land. The agency's primary mission then was to conserve soil. It became NRCS in 1994 to better reflect its expanded role of servicing other natural resources such as soil, water, air, plants, and animals on private and tribal lands.
"Residue management is the biggest thing that has helped us out here," Brown says. "It has increased yields over time and we have better moisture management with less evaporation in those fields."
In addition to residue management and no-till, Brown says many farmers in the county are adapting irrigation water management to a higher technology, as well as installing field borders, all of which help reduce wind erosion and conserve water. They also practice crop rotation and plant cover crops for seasonal cover and other conservation purposes.
Ranchers are implementing practices such as prescribed grazing, fencing, water establishments, grass seeding, and windbreak establishment, that not only assist in protecting resources but also keep erosion to a minimum.
"The people around here learned their lessons in the Dust Bowl and the drought of the 1950s," Brown says. "They know it can get bad and they take care of the land year in and year out, so when a drought does hit, it helps protect their resources a little more."
"Nearly everyone in the farming community around here has a conservation plan and tries very hard to follow those plans," she adds.
But even the best conservation efforts can't make it rain. Brown says soil tests show no moisture 4 inches down into the ground. In fact, no subsoil moisture is found as deep as 6 feet. Since the drought began in January 2007, many windmills have gone dry; others have had to be lowered and reset.
"The irrigated crops aren't making it; although farmers have watered and watered, the high winds and heat are so excessive, the water can't keep up with the evaporation rate," Brown. "If the plants do come up, wind erosion cuts them off and kills the crop."
Brown credits the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for helping to reduce wind erosion and blowing dust. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) recently approved emergency haying and grazing on CRP lands in the Oklahoma Panhandle as a drought relief measure to help ranchers find suitable forage for feeding livestock.
"Every little bit helps," Brown says. "But at this point, what we really need is rain."

These days, tapestries may be most commonly associated with patchouli-scented dorm rooms, but wall hangings have a long history in the decorative arts going back to the dark ages, and they double as an affordable and non-permanent way to add a large swath of color and pattern to a wall.
Here are some colorful wall hanging sources that are certainly worth a second look:
1. Marimekko's bold patterns are always in style, and CB2 offers a changing selection of their wall hangings, currently available is "Siirtolapuurtarha" by artist Maija Louekari.
2. Wall tapestries by Alexander Calder are pricey with a capital "P" — the one above rings in at about $20,000 — but keep an eye out on eBay for graphic tapestries from the 50s and 60s by other lesser known artists. Textile designer Alexander Girard also created some wonderful wall hangings that can sometimes be found for a steal.
3. Urban Outfitters does cater to the college-age set, but their unique collection of tapestries, like the All Seeing Eye shown above, are appealing no matter what your age.
4. Among the more typical Grateful Dead tapestries available from Sunshine Joy is this gorgeous hummingbird design by artist William Schaff.
5. Design your own tapestry! Spoonflower allows you to print your designs on a variety of fabrics — the fabric above was created from a simple pencil sketch. With a computer and a scanner, the possibilities are pretty much endless.

Esempio di feedback dall'editor Sarah
Dear Wendy,
I have enjoyed reading and editing your thesis. I found the topic you've written about to be very interesting.
Even though the thesis was already rather well written, I've made many adjustments to the text. Below I have pointed out the mistakes you've made the most often. The following comments help to explain the suggestions I have made within your text and will enable you to strengthen your future academic writing.
Word-level grammatical and spelling mistakes
First of all, I have suggested deleting all of the contractions from your writing (such as "isn't"), as contractions are not formal enough for this type of writing.
Second, you have frequently used an adjective when an adverb is called for (e.g., "quick" instead of "quickly"). I have recommended several related changes.
Apart from that, it is often not clear what pronouns such as "it" and "they" are referring to (in grammatical terms, the antecedents of the pronouns are ambiguous). I have marked where I would suggest you be more specific. You might also find the explanation offered in this article to be helpful: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/common-grammatical-problems-with-clarity-and-logic/.
Word choice
In many places you have made mistakes in relation to using "a" or "an." Reviewing the rules on article usage would make your writing stronger. Please also remember that an abbreviation that starts with a vowel sound when being read aloud (such "EU") takes "an," not "a" (e.g., "an EU country").
Also, I have made many changes in relation to prepositions, which are particularly tricky in English. Taking a careful look at some of the changes I have made the most frequently (such as "…" instead of "…") will help you in your future writing.
Sentence-level grammatical mistakes
In many cases you have long and complicated sentences that are difficult for the reader to follow. I have often suggested either breaking such sentences into two or introducing punctuation that will help make them more readable.
Next to that, please note that as "et al." means "and others," the verb that follows should be plural (e.g., "Wang et al. have suggested…").
Style and academic tone
I have made many comments in relation to your use of abbreviations. You may find it helpful to review the guidelines that are discussed in this article: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/using-abbreviations-and-acronyms-in-a-thesis/.
Please take a careful look at the suggestions I have made in relation to handling numbers. Further information can also be found in this article: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/numbers-in-your-thesis-should-you-use-words-or-numerals/
Other mistakes
I have noted that you have used a mixture of British and American English spellings. Reviewing this article may help you decide which form of a term is more appropriate: https://www.scribbr.com/academic-writing/using-american-british-or-australian-spelling-within-your-thesis/.
You also haven't used the same font throughout the document. Doing so will improve the layout of your thesis and make it more legible, both of which may result in a higher grade.
I hope that my comments are helpful to you in finalizing this text as well as in your future academic writing. Best wishes for completing your thesis and whatever is next on the horizon for you.
Good luck accepting all the changes!
Kind regards,

|"さよなら宇宙" Good-bye The cosmos2013 Hikari Shimoda
In 2010 I discovered Japanese pop-artist, Hikari Shimoda 下田ひかり's
creepy cute/kawaii magical girls and super hero saviors in their neon
pastel surrealistic worlds and blank stares. I was mesmerized by her
artwork and her message.

|Super Hero Bear Boy selfie via Instagram - LISXXOR cosplay
I've been wanting to cosplay characters from her paintings for a while now (the Super Hero), but didn't know when would be the best time. I decided to make these costumes when Ohaycon announced they were having a special "magical girl" themed category in their 2014 masquerade. I was even happier to discover there was a "magical boy" category, which would fit Hikari's Super Heroes perfectly.
My cosplay versions of the Super Heroes was my way of celebrating her art through my fashion skills. Like I love these lil guys so much I want to make them real!
Originally I was only going to make the original blue Bear Boy Super Hero, but fell equally in love with the mischievous Bunny Boy Super Hero from her more recent series, "Before Worlds Were Born".
Always the ambitions one, I decided to make both Bear and Bunny Super Hero outfits, since they are essentially color swaps of each other. But really I ended up making 4 different interchangeable costumes.
I'm glad I did, because I ENDED UP WINNING "BEST MAGICAL BOY" CRAFTSMASHIP in the Ohaycon 2014 Cosplay Masquerade!!!

Houston robber tries to rob Chase bank, but teller won't budge
The FBI Bank Robbery Task Force is looking for help to catch a suspect who attempted to rob a Chase Bank location at 12103 Veterans Memorial Thursday just after 10 a.m.
The robber handed a teller a note demanding cash. When the teller didn't surrender any money to him, the robber left empty-handed and fled on foot.
No one inside the bank was hurt in the incident.
The FBI described the robber as a black male in his early 20s with a light complexion, standing around 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 9 inches, and weighing 140 to 150 pounds. He had on a brown ball cap with the word "FADED" on the front in white letters. He was wearing a dark zip-up coat with the word "MEXICO" across the chest, white sneakers, and blue jeans.
Crime Stoppers is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to the charging and arrest of this robber. Anyone with information is asked to please call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 713-222-TIPS (8477) or the Houston FBI office at 713-693-5000.

text: I will be going to Highland tomorrow morning (Friday) to do some prep work. If anyone would care to join me, I would appreciate any helping hands that show up. Here is a short list of what I would like to get done:1.) Shovel out the dirt and leaves that have built up on the stairways on 12, and especially 13. 15 looked fine, but I'd like to check hole 6's stairway too.2.) Rake, or blow out the leaves along snake road so that OB is easy to determine on holes 6 and 12. If anyone has a gas powered leaf blower they could bring, that would really help.3.) General garbage pickup through out the course. Special attention to holes 13-17. If you are out there practicing over the next two days, do me a favor and pick up a few cans or bottles as you walk. The whole disc golf community will be thankful for it.I should be out there by 9am with my rake and shovel, and some garbage bags. If you are looking for me early, check by hole 13s stairway.

Actor Patrick Dempsey, who plays heartthrob Dr. Derek Shepherd on the popular medical drama " Grey's Anatomy," hopes to sell a New England traditional with four bedrooms and 5 1/2 bathrooms in 3,841 square feet.
The house, gated and hedged for privacy, has a fireplace in the living room and a formal dining room. There is a pool, a brick patio and a large, flat lawn. There is also a matching treehouse with a porch that sits high up on the slope of the property.
Dempsey, 43, has donned his surgeon's scrubs for 93 episodes (thus far) of the ABC show. He's been nominated for two Golden Globes for the role, which also earned him the moniker Dr. McDreamy because of his good looks and sex appeal. He gave new meaning to wearing a five o'clock shadow.
Dempsey also starred in the movies "Made of Honor" (2008) and "Enchanted" (2007). His acting credits date back to the mid-1980s. Dempsey, an avid skier and car racer, will be driving a Ferrari at this year's Le Mans 24 Hours.
Brett Lawyer of Sotheby's International Realty, Sunset Boulevard office, is the listing agent, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
'Creek' alum lists his Encino digs
Whatever happened to Jack McPhee? Oh, right, he wasn't real. Kerr Smith, the actor who played the gay teenager on "Dawson's Creek" for about half a dozen years, has listed his Encino home at $1,479,007. Who knows? Maybe it's his lucky number.
The French country house was brought down to the studs and rebuilt completely. The home has exposed wood rafters, a gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances, a saltwater pool and spa and a detached studio/media room with two LCD televisions. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 2,911 square feet plus the detached room, which adds 380 square feet of living space.
The gated property, about a quarter-acre in size, has a courtyard and gravel paths that meander through the yard.
There are fireplaces in the living room, family room and master bedroom suite as well as an outdoor fireplace.
Smith, 37, starred in the recently released "My Bloody Valentine" (2009). He also guest-starred on "Eli Stone" and was a series regular on " CSI: NY" (2007).
Brett Karns of Keller Williams Beverly Hills and Kara Karns, Keller Williams Encino, share the listing.
'Restless,' and ready to move on
Has John Abbot, patriarch of the fictitious Genoa City, truly left the building? "The Young and the Restless" fans will have to figure out that one themselves, but the actor who played Abbot for 23 years on the daytime soap is selling his two-story Encino house.
Jerry Douglas and wife Kym have listed their 4,400-square-foot Cape Cod-style home at $3,999,000. It has five bedrooms and six bathrooms plus a one-bedroom guesthouse near the pool.
The main house has a dramatic entryway with vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors. There are four bedrooms upstairs and one on the main living level. Two of the bedrooms have large balconies overlooking the grounds, which include rock gardens and a hillside waterfall. The gourmet kitchen has a Viking stove, a warming oven, a double oven and large butler's pantry. An old oak tree frames the house, which sits on half an acre.
Douglas' character was written out of the "Young and the Restless" story line in 2006, but he reappeared several times and eventually came back as a new character. He supposedly has left for good, but only time and TiVo will tell.
His wife, Kym, is the author of "The Black Book of Hollywood Diet Secrets" (where we learned that Heidi Klum eats a salad dressed in vinegar before she goes out to dinner because she heard that vinegar may be an appetite suppressant), "The Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets" and "The Black Book of Hollywood Pregnancy Secrets."
Kristi Sindt of Prudential California Realty has the listing.
Grand place to live the good life
This is a love story, real estate style. La Belle Vie, the famous Bel-Air residence, was built for Iris Cantor by her husband, Bernie -- that's B. Gerald Cantor, founder of the global securities firm Cantor Fitzgerald. The house -- more a palace than a house -- took almost six years to build, with minute attention paid to even the smallest detail.
It is now on the market for $53 million. It has 35,000 square feet of living space, including nine bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, a pool, a tennis court, a 10-car garage and a three-story entry hall that centers on a 40-foot-high rotunda and a curved staircase that the Robb Report described as setting the stage "for grand entrances."
Dozens of artisans worked on the home, which was built to house the Cantors' extensive art collections. The house has a beauty salon, three kitchens, a staff wing, a formal library, a separate media room, a gym, a billiards room and 12 fireplaces.
Ron de Salvo of Coldwell Banker, Beverly Hills, is the listing agent.
But will buyers sit up and beg?
Keith Gonzales is the editor of the Players Directory -- the industry's oldest and best-known casting guide. The real estate agent with whom he just listed his Windsor Square home rescues dogs -- "re-homes" them, if you will. (You can see where this is headed, can't you?) Yes, she will include a free pup to anyone qualified (for dog ownership as well as the mortgage) who buys his 1924 Mediterranean.
Some lucky dog's new house is listed at $4,399,000. It has four bedrooms and five bathrooms in 7,242 square feet with a yard suitable for bone burial. There are twin winding staircases, all the better for playing you-can't-catch-me. There is a new solar pool and views of the downtown Los Angeles skyline.
The Players Directory was first published in 1937 by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The publication listed about 1,250 actors -- including Mae West, James Stewart and Bette Davis. In 1996, it evolved into an industry website as well as continuing as a print edition.
Sandy Zalagens of Keller Williams Los Angeles is the listing agent. She sponsors a rescue dog with every home sale.

ebooks on the bus
It is our firm belief that people who consider riding the bus as a waste of time just haven't yet realized all the ways that a bus commute can be productive. There is a long list of activities can be accomplished during your bus commute. We'll post a few of our favorites over the next few weeks and would encourage readers to submit their own transit time productivity tips.
Reading is a pleasant way to pass the commute. It's easy to pop off into another world for a few pages and let the miles roll by. It also keeps your mind off any delays. A good old paperback is a great bus companion. But we tend to forget such luxuries or don't have extra space in our pocket. If you already carry a cell phone, blackberry, or PDA, ebooks are a great alternative. You can download a lot of them free, too!
Here are a few resources for free ebooks that you can try out on your next bus ride (if your not too busy working on other things or enjoying the view).
Daily Lit will send a small chunk of a book to your email account on a regular schedule that you set up. If you have access to email on your mobile phone or PDA, you can get a transit trip sized reading sent to you every day. They offer about 200 books right now.
Manybooks offers tons of books in 15 different formats, so you are bound to find something that interests you and that works with your PDA. They have books in more than 30 languages and dozens of categories. They currently have just under
1,000 15,000 titles, but they seem to add 5-10 new ones every day.
Abracadabra! The story of the Beatles' Revolver (PDF only)
Cory Doctrow offers up his scifi books in multiple formats.
You need to figure out which format matches the software on your device. We aren't providing a HowTo simply because there are so many options. If your phone or PDA doesn't come with some kind of ebook reader software, a quick search on Google should turn up a bunch of free options.
We use the mjbookmaker to convert ebooks into bite sized programs for java phones. It has a basic set of features and automatically saves your place on exiting. Quick and easy.
Palm offers the free PalmReader for Palm users.
Plucker is another Palm option.
