The Doctor kicks off this new run of adventures by searching for his companion Clara - an Impossible Girl he's already lost twice. The action grows and the Doctor's oldest secret threatens to be revealed as the world's longest running science fiction series builds toward its explosive 50th anniversary in November 2013.
Meet the Doctor, played by William Hartnell, who travels through space and time in his ship (the Tardis) along with his granddaughter Susan and two of Susan's schoolteachers.

This latest series, now in HD, sees Matt Smith's debut as the Doctor alongside a new traveling companion, the enigmatic Amy Pond (Karen Gillan). Together they explore sixteenth century Venice, France during the 1890s, and the United Kingdom in the far future, now an entire nation floating in space.
The Doctor returns, alongside newly weds Amy and Rory, to face monsters and mysteries and adventures all across time and space. Together they find themselves in sixties America, battling the invasion the world forgot, then aboard a pirate ship on the high seas of 1696, to solve the mystery of the Siren. In a bubble universe at the edge of reality, the Doctor meets an old friend with a new face.
The Doctor (Tom Baker) returns with his companions Romana (Lalla Ward) and Adric (Matthew Waterhouse).

OMG YES! Thank You.
Thanks for the links, everyone! I'm so grateful to all the kind souls out there...
Yay for Meryl and Charlie!
Meryl and Charlie's Social Scene interview has been posted on IN in the video archive section . It was too short! I love the interaction with Michael Buckley.
^^ Thanks! I hadn't seen that video yet with Michael Buckley. So that's where Meryl revealed that she's a natural blonde. I can't imagine her with blonde hair. I thought her hair was naturally auburn. Certainly, the darker color enhances her eyes and her expressive face, not to mention that two blondes dancing on ice would not be as striking. The color of Meryl's hair perfectly complements Charlie's blonde magical wizard hair!
Re the camera coverage on IN during M&C's SD, I was surprised that there was a closeup rather than a full-body shot at the most important climactic moment in their tour de force Giselle program. We need to see what Meryl's and Charlie's feet are doing when they dance in place on their toe blades. It spoils enjoyment of that great SD when the camera makes itself obvious in a not good way.
Fortunately, when I first saw the Giselle SD at Skate America, the camera coverage was excellent and also Tanith was doing the commentary which made it even more enjoyable and enlightening to watch. Of course, Tanith did the IN commentary too, which was good. Also, when NBC replayed the Nationals SD, they got the camera angle right too at the right moment. Hope the coverage is right for 4CCs and Worlds.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mc...ashao1_500.jpg), it looks like Charlie and Meryl had close to the same hair color- a dark blonde. Based on those photos, it looks like Meryl's not the only one on the team who dies her hair. I think Charlie must get blonde highlights because his hair color when he was younger was never as blonde as it is now.
I think they hit on the right color combination though- they both stand out so much more with the contrasting hair colors.
^^ Yes thanks! You're right, it looks like they both had dark blonde hair. As they matured, the right color contrast developed nicely. After all, they've got magical wizard hair. The young clip of them is great to see, but the picture quality isn't great. Despite the poor quality picture, they do look sooo cute together in that vid while they're waiting at the boards with their coach (who seems very sweet and supportive as he helps them to relax before their name is called).
There's also a wonderful tribute montage which shows M&C from a young age right up to 2011 World Championships victory. Maybe it was created by someone here. It's great!
Meryl and Charlie are very special people, and we're lucky to witness their journey in the sport.
I did always wonder whether or not Charlie highlights his hair, as he seemed to have become dishwater blond as he got older and then BAM 2006 rolls around and he is blonde and Meryl is dark. It's a great contrast and it clearly worked for their overall packaging, if you want to call it that. Davis & White hair is legend~
I once remember reading somewhere that Igor allegedly likes contrasting teams, which reminds me of when Tessa was a redhead.
The hair stories of ice dancing.
What can I say....love the hair...and everything else that goes with it
[QUOTE=aftershocks;3827211]^^ Certainly, the darker color enhances her eyes and her expressive face, not to mention that two blondes dancing on ice would not be as striking.
I disagree Denkova/Staviski were very striking
I was very happy with the National's coverage this year. Icenetwork really stepped it up this year. They had a better crew running it than NBC. They even have the practice videos up. I really hope Buckley comes back for more events. All his interviews were quite entertaining
Charlie's special SD practice top is back in action at 4CCs. Those puffy sleeve accent details are...amazing.
I like Charlie's SD practice top . . . a lot. It is more true to a ballet dancer's costume and therefore evokes "ballet" more so than the pheasant boy look he sports during the competition. I don't think it will affect their scores either way but I hope to see it in competition!
I love that practice shirt. Unashamedly. I think it's gorgeous. I don't even care.
Oh, and when are they going to do an exhibition to Hair.
I'm just saying.
meryl looks much better with dark hair than being natural blonde. i think her natural haircolor would've washed her out. reminds me of jennifer lawrence (hunger games star)--she looks much better with dark hair than her natural blond hair, at least to me anyway.
i do have to say that meryl may have to tone down the darkness of her hair as she ages as that intensity can age her immensely. maybe a softer reddish brown or honey blonde.
With Charlie it's hard to tell. His hair was a lot shorter and if you have dirty blonde hair it can look almost brown when short and because it's being cut so often the hair doesn't have to time for natural sun highlights. I wouldn't be surprised if her got highlights done though.
I actually would love to see their practice costumes during competition...especially Meryl's!
Two blondes can definitely be striking...especially if they're northern European, but I don't think Meryl and Charlie would be. It would wash them out. Also their complexions are really different. Charlie has really warm undertones and Meryl's more of a cool olive. The difference in hair hides that I think. Tessa and Scott look awesome with matching hair, because their skin color matches...they're actually very matchy. Like one adorable set, but I did like like her with red hair. It looked very Nicole Kidman-esque to me in their OD tango.

"Good experience with this merchant. Rug customization options are excellent - many varieties of sisal, nice options for borders and dimensions can be specified to the inch. Shipping was free and product delivered met expectations."
D. Smith Bainbridge Island, WA, Jul. 2014
"I had never purchased from Natural Area Rugs before, and took a chance because of the other great reviews. I have to say the reviews were right on mark --- this is a great company with great products and service. Best prices around (and I checked a lot of websites), fast delivery (I ordered my Lancaster seagrass rug on Monday and it was delivered on Saturday, and I live in NC), quality of the rug is excellent (I have other seagrass rugs in my home), and customer service was very prompt in answering a couple of questions before I made my order. This company even focuses on the little details like rolling the rug the right way for delivery --- so when you unroll it you don't have one side flipping up."
M. Brown Southport, NC, Jul. 2014
"My experience with Natural Area Rugs has far exceeded my expectations. The website is very easy to navigate. The rugs arrive packed in several layers of protective covering. The rugs are well priced and look wonderful on my floors."
C. Tompkins Houston, TX, Jul. 2014
"We purchased a standard and a custom rug from Natural Area Rugs. They arrived within a day of each other only about 10 days after the order was place. The rugs are very well made and very nice in person. Would not hesitate to order from this company again!"
S. LaFratta Falls Church, VA, Jul. 2014
"I would recommend Natural Area Rugs to anyone and certainly buy from them the next time I am in the market for a rug. Excellent on every level!"

Gold prices are lower as fears of a global swine flu pandemic rattle commodities markets.
Oil and other metals have also fallen, while agriculture futures are up slightly.
Investors are trading commodities cautiously this week as the swine flu spreads. The fear is that a major outbreak could prolong the global recession and depress demand for basic materials.
Evidence of soft demand in India during the country's festival season, a traditional time of gold-buying for gifts and investment, is also hurting gold prices, analysts say. India is one of the world's biggest gold consumers.
Gold for June delivery lost $14.60 to settle at $893.60 an ounce on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

The Vampire Diaries Episode 405
"The Killer"
Written By: Michael Narducci
Directed By: Chris Grismer
Original Airdate: 8 November 2012
In This Episode...
Connor takes Jeremy, April, and Matt hostage in Mystic Grill. The plan is that he will lure the vampires in town to the Grill to rescue the mortals, then Connor can kill them all. He has one, simple goal: kill as many vampires as he possibly can. He wants to unveil the rest of the mark and find out what his true purpose is.
When Damon and Elena get the text message from Connor, they both see red. Stefan begs them both to trust him, that he and Klaus (who is still in Italy, digging up the sword) have a plan. Naturally, Damon is suspicious that Stefan has a plan with Klaus. He may even be a little jealous. Damon concedes to giving Stefan one hour to do recon, then he is going in, guns blazing, and killing Connor. Stefan vervains his brother, takes his ring, and leaves.
The plan is simple. Stefan will go in via the tunnels and rescue the hostages. Dean, one of Klaus's hybrids, will be in charge of getting Connor out alive. Dean kind of sucks at his job - he sets off a booby-trapped bomb of werewolf venom. He's dead. Stefan gets April and Matt out, then goes in to get Jeremy away from Connor. He does the whole hostage negotiation thing, but it has no effect on Connor. Elena has gotten tired of waiting and heads to the Grill. She comes in through the front door, playing the sobbing sister, and offering herself in exchange for Jeremy. Jeremy is already on one of the booby-trapped pressure pads. Connor threatens to kill Jeremy in front of Elena, so Stefan comes out of hiding. Elena attacks Connor; Connor gets the upper hand; Stefan attacks Connor; and somehow during all this, Connor's gun goes off and hits Jeremy in the stomach. Elena picks herself up and discovers Stefan and Connor gone, and Jeremy bleeding to death. She heals him up.
Stefan has Connor and they are escaping through the tunnels. Damon shows up, intent on killing Connor. He is suspicious when Stefan won't let him, and downright furious when Stefan lets Connor go and tells him to run. The brothers face off, and Damon throws Stefan against the wall, reaches into his chest, and threatens to remove his heart if he doesn't fess up. Stefan finally admits what Klaus told him about the cure - this changes everything. Damon lets Stefan go, heart intact, and agrees to help.
While running through the tunnels, Connor runs into Elena. She takes a big bite out of him and warns him to stay away from her brother. Connor stabs her with a wooden stake. "You missed," she hisses - and snaps his neck without a second thought. When the Salvatores find her, she is topside, in the woods. Blood is still caked on her mouth, and she is frantically digging a grave for Connor. Stefan tries to comfort her, but she wants no part of it. By now she is just this side of batshit crazy, so the boys wisely decide not to tell her about the cure that Connor may have possessed. Later that night, Damon asks Stefan if the cure is really for Elena, or if it is because he prefers Elena as a human. Stefan doesn't want this life for her. Damon agrees to help, but he informs Stefan that he likes Elena either way, so his help will be purely for his brother's benefit. Elena, meanwhile, wants to be left alone. While alone, she starts having hallucinations about blood covering every surface, and seeing the word "Killer" written in the blood. See? Batshit crazy.
Also: The professor wants Connor to make sure "the witch" stays out of harm's way. He will not guarantee her safety, so the professor "keeps her busy" with "witch therapy." Caroline learns that Hayley has been crashing with Tyler but her jealousy fades after he explains that Klaus thinks they hooked up to prevent him from finding out that she helped him break his sire-bond. Jeremy discovers that a day spent with Connor was compelled out of his head. By the episode's end, the hunter's mark appears on his hand.
Dig It or Bury It?
Now this is the Vampire Diaries I know and love. Just crazy, non-stop action and violence. We've got the "Dear Diary" crap back, but it goes down a lot better with a big shot of blood.
I'm trying to figure out who it was that Jeremy killed in order to get his first hunter's mark. Is it retroactive? Dean, the hybrid, didn't die at Jeremy's hand. Is it that when Connor died, he got a "starter mark" passed on to him?
Dear Diary
We had a couple good years without this nonsense. Now it's back. Elena reveals to her diary that she hates being a vampire. She is angry, scared, and depressed all the time. Jeremy is the only thing that keeps her from killing herself.
Blood Lust
Dean's death was awesome. So the werewolf venom bomb goes off, and he is knocked back. When he stands, he is COATED in glass and wood shards that stick out all over him like a coat of porcupine quills. Then Connor blows a hole clean through his chest, one that you can see through.
Elena goes mad as a hatter.

3 out of 4 worked fine
By BLB
from Evanston Il
You get what you pay for. This stove is cheap.
Stove was promtly delivered, but 1 burner refused to work. Had to have service. Took 1 week to come out and had to order a new burner for another weeks time. The new burner also refused to work when installed. It took serviceman 15 minutes to finally make it work. I hope it keeps working.
Cheap price and construction. Functional
By Jake
from Oak Park, IL
Purchased for an investment condo. The metal is so thin and the functions totally minimal. But, as long as it lasts 10+ years, I'm happy. I have no experience using it. I wanted inexpensive, low maintenance, electronic pilot and functional. Time will tell. ABT is always great, however.

Comments about Frigidaire 30" Bisque Freestanding Gas Range:
I can't comment on the range....I haven't been able to use it yet, due to poor customer service. I'm guessing my review wont be posted either!
I ordered a frigidaire gas range. Beautiful range, just to bad I've had it 16 days and haven't been able to use it. Looks like I wont be using it any time soon with the customer service I've received....so I have my range just sitting and looking pretty. The conversion kit that was promised to be deivered in 3 days wasn't even shipped until 4 days later, then when it came, it was the wrong one! Do I have the correct one yet?? NO!!! Is anyone responding to me and helping with this problem??? Again...NO!! Is that good customer service??? Don't think so!!! Their solution? Pay $58 and they will overnight it to me. Funny, they got their money right away, me, no usable stove!
Merchant response: The customer contacted Abt after purchasing the range for an optional accessory. Abt provided the accessory and the shipping at no charge to the customer.

ZEBULON — Tristyn Card was dressed as a super librarian, equipped with a cape and a little flair on Superhero Day at the Zebulon Boys & Girls Club last Wednesday.
It was an appropriate outfit for the club's 27-year-old coordinator of character and leadership development, who in May was recognized for having superhero-like qualities on the job. In only her second year with the club, Card was named the 2013 Part-Time Staff Member of the Year by the North Carolina Area Council of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. She was presented the award during a banquet in Charlotte on May 18.
A nomination letter for the award written by Zebulon Club Director Karl Thoma uses words like honest and dependable, skilled and talented to describe Card.
"She's definitely one of our superheroes," Thoma said. "She's professional, hard working and dedicated to the club. She's a very versatile person. She can organize a play, she can work in the gym, she can run the front counter.
"We're just very fortunate that she's at our club."
Thoma's letter also referred to Card as the leader young club members tend to gravitate toward. Ten-year-old Shaniya Downey explained why that's the case after Card joined her and other club members for a friendly game of UNO Wednesday morning.
"She's very nice and very fun," Downey said. "She listens and helps us and treats us all the same way. She gives us her time when we need to talk to her."
A sign was a sign
A native of Pilot, Card says serving others has been impressed on her since her early childhood. She recalls volunteering with her grandmother at adult care facilities as early as age 6.
"Service has always been really important to my family, so it's always been really important to me," she said.
Card remembers driving to and from high school and passing the site of the new Zebulon clubhouse, which opened in January 2012, before it was built. When she saw a sign on the vacant lot that read, "Future home of the Zebulon Boys & Girls Club," she saw a future opportunity of her own.
By the time returned home from college at UNC-Asheville, where she majored in communication and minored in literature and theater, the new clubhouse was complete. She walked straight in the door and told club leaders, "You should hire me." And they did.
Fitting the part
Since then, Card has managed to keep busy.
She's taught a creative writing class and formed a drama program for club members – writing her own adaptations of familiar stories for the members to perform. She has also taken a lead role in several of the club's other educational programs and community events.
The young actors' performance of "The Jungle Book" last summer was a Boys & Girls Clubs Area Council Award winner. This summer, the club is working on a version of "Alice in Wonderland." The tentative date for that play is Aug. 7 at 7 p.m.
Through such programs and activities, Card hopes to pass on confidence, courage and a sense of self to the members at the club.
"You're place in life is where you want to be," she said. "I hope to leave that with all the kids, and also to have confidence to try new things."
Card seems to genuinely not understand why she was chosen out of others from across the state for the award. What she does know is showing up at the club every day to write stories, work on plays and make-believe with youth doesn't feel like work.
"It's nice to be appreciated, but I'm thinking it's my job – it's what I'm supposed to do," Card said. "I just say, 'Thank you,' and go back to work. I'm proud of the work I do."

FaltyDL just put this up on his Sound Cloud page with the note that it's a "hip hop tune from a year or two back, jungle breakdown…" We might say triphop, but, you know, we like microgenres. We're not going to disagree with the designation of the jungle breakdown that comes towards the end of the well paced tune: it's a jungle breakdown. This is a cool, simple track that's just as interesting to hear in context of FaltyDL's other work that more heavily leans two step, a fractured take on dance. He also says it's a year or two old, so check it out to see another side of the producer that is more recently less explored, one maybe more indebted to his New York location than a lot of his songs which live musical context over on the other side of the Atlantic.

The 2010 Senate race is heating up.
With Democrats coming off one of their best election cycles ever, U.S. Sen. Richard Burr, a Republican, already has two potential opponents: Attorney General Roy Cooper and U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler (and maybe departing state Treasurer Richard Moore).
To prepare, Burr has stepped up his media efforts in recent weeks.
And last week, his office unveiled a revamped Web site that features a blog, a podcast and video.
The site has been redesigned and streamlined and is, to Dome's eyes, more attractive than the usual Senate Web page.
Meantime, MMI Marketing, a Raleigh public relations firm, has been sending Dome lengthy e-mail messages about Cooper's years-long fight against a lawsuit filed by his 2000 Republican opponent, Dan Boyce.
"It will be interesting to see if N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper will argue something to the effect that he is above the law in his own lawsuit when it goes to trial on May 18, 2009," reads a typical sentence from one of the messages.
Burr's office has no connection to the Cooper lawsuit, but it is a sign that some Republicans are keenly interested in the state attorney general.
Harrell a hit up north?
Could Ty Harrell represent us in the Great White North?
A Canadian magazine thinks so.
In its Dec. 17 issue, Embassy magazine included state Rep. Ty Harrell on a list of possible ambassadors to Canada, once "one of the most sought-after positions in American foreign service."
"There is nobody clamoring for the job, and that silence is incredibly interesting," Canada expert Christopher Sands told the magazine.
Here's what the publication had to say about Harrell, a Raleigh Democrat: "Democratic state representative from the important swing state of North Carolina. This rising star endorsed Mr. Obama while John Edwards was still in the primaries. Wife is Canadian."
The magazine also included Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, former Rep. David Bonior, outgoing Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean and Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire.
'Magic Negro' debacle
Dr. Ada Fisher is taking a stand in the race for a new Republican national chairman.
As one of three black members of the Republican National Committee, the Salisbury doctor is in a rare position as the GOP crafts its response to Barack Obama's election.
Fisher recently announced her support for South Carolina chairman Katon Dawson in his bid to head the national party, despite a controversy over his membership in a country club that doesn't admit blacks.
Now she has criticized another candidate for the top post, Chip Saltsman, for distributing a CD that included a song played on Rush Limbaugh's radio program called "Barack the Magic Negro."
"It is time we all grew up and exhibited some sophistication in how we act, " she wrote. "Racist actions and deeds have no place in the party ... This is the party of Lincoln, and it was founded on the backs of the oppression of blacks. If we are to be the leading party, we had better understand that and act responsibly in addressing the needs of all of the citizens as we strive for more inclusiveness."
Reagan aide is speaker
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr. is scheduled to speak to the Cleveland County Republican Party for its Reagan Day Dinner on Feb. 20.
The event is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the North Lake Country Club in Shelby.
Huntsman, a Republican and former U.S. diplomat, was elected governor in 2004. He has helped enact record tax cuts while directing new funding for education, according to a news release from the Cleveland Republicans.
He was a White House staff assistant to President Ronald Reagan and has held senior appointments in the U.S. Commerce and State departments.

In a continuous effort to provide our partners with a robust and secure server platform, OverDrive is establishing a monthly maintenance window to allow for systems maintenance should it be needed. This maintenance window will be scheduled for the third Thursday of every month, from 6:00 am – 8:00 am (Eastern Time).
All OverDrive sites, including Content Reserve and your OverDrive-hosted website, may be down for all or part of these regular maintenance windows. It is also possible that your website will not be affected during some maintenance windows. Please be assured that if your library site is affected, we will make every effort to display informative messaging to patrons that visit your site during any outage.
When is this maintenance going to happen? On an ongoing basis, a maintenance window will be scheduled on the third Thursday of each month, from 6:00 am – 8:00 am (Eastern Time). After analyzing usage data from our global network of partners, we selected this time because it should minimize impact on end-users.
Why is OverDrive performing this maintenance? OverDrive is continually working to offer the best in service and infrastructure to all of our partners and our partners' end-users. As new hardware, hosting, and security opportunities become available to us, we need to upgrade our systems to provide these benefits to you. These are typical of the upgrades you have come to expect from us as we work to deliver the best possible experience with our sites and systems.
What actions do I need to take? At this time, there is nothing you need to do. OverDrive will be handling all aspects of these maintenance windows.

Three-fifths of the Northeast Division has made a trade so far today, with the biggest move being Boston's acquisition of Toronto defenseman Tomas Kaberle.
Kaberle has been in trade talks for well over a year, and he finally waived his no-trade clause to join the Bruins. Kaberle, who is the second all time in scoring among Leafs defensemen behind Borje Salming (and his cool helmet), goes to Boston in exchange for Joe Colborne, a first-round draft pick and a conditional pick, TSN has reported.
To clear room for Kaberle, the Bruins have sent defenseman Mark Stuart and forward Blake Wheeler to Atlanta for center Rich Peverley and defenceman Boris Valabik.
Ottawa, meanwhile, picked up goaltender Craig Anderson from Colorado in exhange for netminder Brian Elliott.
The Sabres and Montreal are the two division teams that have not made a deal today.

Me encanta.... es muy bueno.
It's hard to believe this is open source project. It has professional grade. Congratulations.
Can't live without it no more. One of the first tools I install on a new development machine.
Good SQL tool, works well. The graph sql query constructor looks interesting.
SQuirreL SQL is an excellent, reliable tool, handles the PostgreSQL and DB2 databases well. Easy interface with good security. Initial load time of a schema may be time consuming, depending on the number of definitions included - worth the wait. I have used SQuirreL for a number of years in diverse environments (Linux, Windows, even AS/400). Very satisfactory.

Trying to eat healthier and save money by preparing more meals at home? That's a smart move. Of course, you can still spend big at the supermarket. But by using coupons and other frugal food shopping tips, you can cut your grocery bill — and still eat healthy.
Skeptical? Don't be. You can find plenty of resources to help you become a frugal food shopper while still paying attention to nutrition. For instance, the Department of Agriculture has created a "thrifty plan" for feeding a family of four — two adults plus two children between the ages of 6 and 11 — that meets the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and costs only $135 a week.
You say you're not the frugal type? Try easing into it with a few of the frugal food shopping tips below. You may discover that being frugal isn't so tough — and can even be tasty.
Frugal food shopping starts before you hit the supermarket. Take some time at home to review your staples and make a game plan:
Even in tough economic times you can find deals at the grocery store. With these tips and tricks, you'll be a super saver when you hit the supermarket:
Following these tips can help you save on food bills while still eating a healthy diet. But did you know that eating healthfully can also help you avoid expensive medical care later? A healthy diet such as the Mediterranean diet — which is rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, and also limits red meat and emphasizes "good" fats — can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic conditions. It's hard to find a bigger bang for your buck than that.

U.S. network television is to show an hour-long documentary entitled "South Korea: Focused on Excellence" featuring the country's top athletes.
The idea is to convey the hopes and dreams of budding athletes who will fill the shoes of current sports stars like Kim Yu-na, Park Ji-sung and Pak Se-ri 10 to 20 years from now.
Kim Yu-na is referred to as "the most popular sports star in Korea." The production team interviewed Kim and her Canadian coach Brian Orser to hear about the difficulties she had to overcome to reach the top.
The film airs in 120 cities across the U.S. between August and September on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. In Los Angeles, which has a large Korean-American community, it will air at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 15 on ABC and in San Francisco at 3 p.m. the same day. New Yorkers can watch it later in August.

Full disclosure: we work really hard to bring you HFL, so when pretenders rip us off, yet also try and talk shit (that was copied too), it gets under our skin. I made a point of taking this holiday weekend off work to spend time with a new girl I'm seeing and grabbed the 1198 Streetfighter story off the cuff, in a rush. It might be fake. Oh well. But what's really fake are these super crazy extra photoshopped images of the "2012 Kawasaki ZX-14" here's why. Honestly, anyone with half a brain should be able to see this.
Update: Just to clarify, this MCN article was well reported, original and the kind of thing we like reading. It's just a shame that others felt the need to rip it off.
Sean's girlfriend (a graphic designer when she's not babysitting HFL staff) put down her sore vagina long enough to help us with this. She and Sean took a look and annotated the above image with these notes:
1. The mirrors are mirrored. Cue the snoop dog jokes. Aside from being identical from side to side, something that is impossible in real light, have a look at the shadows. See that? Yep. Identical. If that was the only thing funny about this image, it would be enough to declare it a fake.
2. Why go through all the trouble of designing a new, angular ZX-14 to match the rest of the Kawasaki line-up and then slap an old windscreen on it? Why add a gray border around the round windscreen to fill in the gaps between it and the angular bodywork? The answer, of course, is that no one would do that. It's fake.
3. Why are there blurry green triangles hanging off either side of the fairing? While this shape is technically possible, it would be so hideously ugly from any other angle that there is simply no way Kawasaki would build a fairing with flying blurry triangles.
4. Why is it that the upper fairing is both a different color than the rest of the bike and seemingly just mushed into place? Look closely at the black plastic trim piece (liberated from the ZX-10R for this photoshop experiment) where it meets the uper fairing. Notice how it doesn't lineup? How the shadows don't make any sense?
5. See how hyper-focused the headlights are? Look at the glossy black front corners and the ridiculous rows of LEDs further back. Now, look at the blurry triangles that would be only 3-5″ further back. Look at the barely in focus turn signals on the fairings and look at the sharply focused mufflers out back. Cameras don't work this way. They create an image that has a focal point and the closer a part of the image is to that point, the more it's in focus. Move further away from that point and things become blurry.
This image has the mufflers and headlights in focus, but blurry triangles between them.
6. Bullshit headlights. From the starbursts, to the 4300k HID color temperature, to the rows of LEDs, these scream fake. Those LEDs are the real giveaway though. The way they hang outside the headlight housing, yet extend toward the fake HIDs is impossible unless they're hot-glued to the outside of the lens.
Detail shots from Young Machine, purportedly of ZX-14 components, are clearly just press shots of the 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R.
This screencap, taken from a video posted by Ricky Gadson and apparently a part of Kawasaki's viral marketing campaign for the new bike, appears to show clocks which are slightly updated versions of the current model's.
The current ZX-14 clocks.
This cap of the new clocks' startup sequence, again taken from the Gadson video, appears to show a new face that's more a refinement of the current model than an all-new look.
A hilarious friend at Kawasaki also (unofficially) said:
"Either it's a ZX-10R upper on a ZX-14 lower photo-chop, or it's the new ZX-10XL prototype, which was created when Kawasaki chefs prepared a delicious three-bean burrito lunch and force fed it to a standard ZX-10R, they then denied all dyno exercise sessions, so the new top-secret unit could grow into a sufficiently aerodynamic rotundness."
The image also appears to be based on a stock photo from a tire junket all the rags went on last fall. I made Sean, at the behest of Ashlee, throw out all his old bike mags a couple weeks back so we can't find the original, maybe one of you can.
But yeah, to quote Kawasaki, "total bullshit."
Understanding the difference between the real deal and total bullshit is important. That applies to motorcycle media too. You aren't looking at the new ZX-14, but when you are, the first time will probably be here on HFL.

Written by Kerby Anderson
In this article we will be talking about making moral choices using the Bible and biblical principles. Our approach will be both philosophical and practical.
A Christian view of morality is based upon the assumption that God exists and has revealed Himself to the human race. He has chosen to reveal Himself in nature (Psalm 19, Romans 1) and in human conscience (Rom. 2:14-15). He has also revealed Himself through the Bible (Psalm 119, 2 Tim. 3:16) and in the person of Jesus Christ (John 10:30, Heb. 1:1-4).
God's character is the ultimate standard of right and wrong. And even though the Bible was written long before the development of genetic engineering or modern media, it nevertheless provides principles that can be used to evaluate the morality of social, scientific, and technological issues.
Biblical morality can be developed from learning to live God's way according to biblical principles. Though the Christian life is much more than a set of rules or principles, these principles do provide moral boundaries for behavior.
Biblical morality is also based upon love that has its source in God. Jesus was asked by the teachers of the law which was the most important commandment. "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these" (Mark 12:29-31).
The two most important commandments are to love God and to love your neighbor. Essentially all biblical principles rest upon this foundation. And these principles can be found in God's revelation in the Bible. God's character as expressed in God's Word should be diligently applied to every area of life.
Jesus also taught Christians to love their enemies (Matt. 5:44-45): "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." As his opening phrase suggests, this was not the common practice of the day. In fact, it was completely contrary to the concept of love practiced in that day or even in our day.
The apostle Paul teaches that love is "the law of Christ" and thereby supreme and sufficient (Gal. 5:14; 6:2). He also teaches that love is the foundation of Christian obedience. Even if we manifest the gifts of the Spirit and do good works, they do not profit us unless they are done in love (1 Cor. 13:1-3).
He also teaches that God shows His love to us in that Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8) and that nothing will separate us from the love of Christ (Rom. 6:37-39). And this is not just a theological truth, but the "love of Christ controls us" (2 Cor. 5:14) and provides us with an ability to live the Christian life.
How do we make proper moral choices based upon biblical principles? The Bible does provide biblical guidelines on a vast array of issues. Christians also have the liberty to make individual moral choices in areas of moral neutrality. Ultimately, making moral choices involves discerning the will of God in one's life.
Whole books have been written on how we can know the will of God, but we can summarize a few key principles here.
First, we can know God's will through the Bible. Before considering any other way to discern God's will, one should ask whether the Bible has already provided guidance in this area. The Bible is full of God's specific commands and principles.
A teenager doesn't have to ask if he should get drunk; the Bible has already addressed that issue (Eph. 5:18). An unmarried couple doesn't need to ask if they should live together before they marry. Again, the Bible has addressed the topic (1 Cor. 6:18).
The Bible provides boundaries and barriers to our moral actions. We are to stay within those moral boundaries. Paul, writing to the church in Corinth (1 Cor. 4:6), told them "Do not go beyond what is written."
A second way we discern God's will is through prayer. We are commanded to bring our requests before God. In Philippians 4:6 we are told: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
If we are earnestly reading the Bible and seeking God's will, He will reveal it to us, often through the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We read in Romans 8:27 that "The Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will."
A third way we discern God's will is through our conscience. If our conscience is troubling us about a particular action or behavior, then we should refrain from that activity. Paul says that each person "must be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5). He adds that "whatever is not from faith is sin" (Rom. 14:23).
The opposite is not necessarily true. In other words, conscience is a good stop sign but not a green light. A troubled conscience is sufficient justification to refrain, and a guilty conscience is reason enough to stop a particular action or behavior.
A clear conscience is no justification for proceeding. The Bible teaches that, "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?" (Jer. 17:9). We can easily deceive ourselves into sin.
Christians should strive to have a good conscience before God and man (Acts 24:16). A troubled conscience is reason to avoid an action, but a clear conscience may not be sufficient justification to proceed.
What about times when the Bible does not clearly seem to speak to a particular action? These areas of moral neutrality are still governed by biblical principles that guide our Christian liberty.
Even though a particular action may not be prohibited in Scripture, it still may be offensive to others because of their social, ethnic, or religious background. Another person's family background or spiritual maturity is also a consideration Christians must make.
The Apostle Paul articulates the principles guiding our liberty in Romans 14-15. The specific example that he uses involves the eating of meat sacrificed to idols. While this issue is of no moral concern today, it does provide key biblical principles which we can apply in determining our response to issues not specifically addressed in the Bible.
The first principle is that Christians are not to have a judgmental attitude toward one another in regard to issues that are morally neutral. Paul says in Romans 14:3 that the "one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat" nor should the "one who does not eat . . . judge the one who eats." In other words, whether you participate in or refrain from a morally neutral activity, you should not be judgmental of the other person.
No one has the right to force their moral conclusions on others when the Bible does not provide clear principles on the matter. Paul asks in Romans 14:4, "Who are you to judge the servant of another?" Christians are instructed to decide these matters for themselves as they consult the Bible and their conscience.
Second, each Christian must decide what is right or wrong for him or her. Paul teaches that if you believe a particular action to be wrong for you, then it is wrong. He says in Romans 14:4, "I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean."
He taught that all things were clean. In other words, there was no sin in eating meat sacrificed to idols (it was morally neutral). But he also teaches that if a person believes it is sinful to indulge in a practice, then it is indeed sinful for them.
Each person "must be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5). If there is doubt, then it is better to refrain from participating rather than engaging in what has become a sinful action for the person. Doubt or uncertainty is a sufficient reason to refrain from a particular activity or behavior.
A key test of Christian obedience is whether a person can do so "for the Lord" (Rom. 14:6). Christians are to "live for the Lord" because "we are the Lord's" (Rom. 14:8). If one cannot participate in an activity while serving the Lord, then he or she should refrain. Paul says that "whatever is not from faith is sin" (Rom. 14:23).
A third principle is whether a morally neutral activity would be "an obstacle or a stumbling block" to another believer (Rom. 14:13). Christians should be aware of their actions on the Christian walk of others around them. While we may have liberty in Christ to participate in an action or behavior, another believer might be offended or adversely affected by what we do.
Paul teaches that we have a moral responsibility to other believers. He says, "we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of those without strength" (Rom. 15:1). In order to do so we may have to limit our Christian liberty.
At the same time there is a balance between enjoying our liberty in Christ and trying not to give offense. If one believes he or she can participate in an activity, then one should do so with that firm "conviction before God" (Rom. 14:22). But it would be wise not to participate publicly but privately for the sake of a believer who might be hurt by one's actions (Rom. 14:15).
A final principle is how a particular action or behavior will affect the individual believer's walk with the Lord. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 6:12 that; "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything."
Although these morally neutral practices are lawful, they may not be profitable and could actually master (or enslave) a person. There is nothing in the Bible about such things as poor nutrition, addiction to caffeine, or watching lots of television, yet most would agree that such behaviors are not profitable. In fact, they are frequently debilitating to the individual. Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 10:31 that whether "you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
Although the Bible admonishes us to be honest and to tell the truth, honesty seems to be at an all-time low. One study of high school students found that 71 percent of them admitted to cheating on an exam at least once in the last twelve months. And 92 percent of them said they lied to their parents in the last twelve months while 79 percent said they did so two or more times. So what does the Bible say about honesty and truth?
The Old Testament calls upon the people of God to deal honestly with one another. Leviticus 9:35 says "You shall do no wrong in judgment, in measurement of weight, or capacity." Likewise, Proverbs 11:1 warns that "A false balance is an abomination to the Lord." Believers are to use honest weights and be honest in their dealings with others.
A righteous person does not "take a bribe against the innocent" (Ps. 15:5). Isaiah (5:23) pronounces judgment on those "who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away the rights of the ones who are in the right."
The New Testament admonishes Christians to "have a good conscience" and desire to conduct themselves "honorably in all things" (Heb. 13:18). Paul said he attempted to always maintain "a blameless conscience both before God and before men" (Acts 24:16). Christians should "have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men" (2 Cor. 8:21).
Honesty also requires telling the truth. The Ten Commandments forbids both the swearing of false oaths and the bearing of false testimony (Ex. 20:7, 16; Deut. 5:11, 20; cf. Lev. 19:12; Jer. 7:9). In the Old Testament, false witnesses were to suffer the same punishment that they had hoped to inflict upon the others (Deut. 19:16-21).
Telling the truth also involved more than false testimony in a court. Believers are not to spread false reports (Prov. 12:17; 14:5, 25) or report the truth maliciously or engage in slander (Lev. 19:16; Prov. 26:20).
Speaking evil is prohibited (Ps. 34:13; Prov. 24:28; Eph. 4:31; James 4:11; 1 Pet. 3:10), and it disqualifies a person from God's favor (Ps. 15:3) and from a leadership position in the church (1 Tim. 3:8; Tit. 2:3).
In the Old Testament, oaths and vows were used many times. Abraham (Gen. 21:22-34), Jacob (Gen. 25:33; 28:20), Joseph (Gen. 50:5), Joshua (Josh. 6:26), Hannah (1 Sam 1:11), Saul (1 Sam. 14:24), David (1 Sam. 20:17), Ezra (Ezra 10:5), and Nehemiah (Neh. 13:25) all swore oaths or vows. The swearing of these oaths and vows underscores the seriousness of telling the truth and following up on one's commitment.
We need truth telling today like never before. Perhaps the greatest battle in society today is a battle over truth. Voters are skeptical of politicians. Proponents of various biomedical procedures (abortion, cloning) often redefine terms and mislead the public about the true nature of the procedures they advocate. We need Christians to set an example by being honest and telling the truth.

After a second straight 10-3 season, Oklahoma appears to be in a holding pattern. Yes, it shared the Big 12 Conference title with Kansas State this past season — OU's eighth conference title since 2000. But did it elevate its play from the previous year?
Some key personnel will change as the Sooners prepare for the 2013 season. Key players from the last three seasons — Landry Jones, Kenny Stills, Tony Jefferson and Tom Wort — are gone. OU's coordinators — Josh Heupel and Mike Stoops — remain in place, but how well they handle a league where offenses continue to put up record-setting totals, while defenses seemingly fall farther behind.
The Sooners are in a rebuilding mode. They need to come up with a plan that not only keeps as the perennial team to beat in the Big 12, but one capable of staying in the national championship hunt and winning it.
"We're gonna do all we can to improve and compete for the Big 12 and hopefully the national (championship)," he said. "That's what we try and do every year."
Here's five things OU must improve on for it to happen in 2013:
Improved production from the defensive line: The Sooners were 112th in tackles for loss with 55. The total was the lowest about half of what OU averaged the previous five seasons (102.2).
Stoops said some of decrease was due to OU blitzing less under Mike Stoops than it did under previous defensive coordinator Brent Venables.
The defensive line struggled to come up with negative plays. Less than half of the tackles for loss were made by linemen. The Sooners must create more pressure on offenses than it did this season and starts up front.
"Can we find a better balance? Hopefully," Stoops said. "We can blitz more and do some things stun wise to get more tackles for loss and still not give up big plays."
Achieve offensive balance: The Sooners threw 56.8 percent of the time this past season. There was nothing wrong with the decision. They had the personnel to do it.
However, the Blake Bell era begins this spring. He still has to prove he can handle all throws OU's playbook requires. However, offensive coordinator Josh Heupel also has to tailor the offense to Bell. The 6-foot-6, 255-pound Bell must run the ball. Having running backs Damien Williams, Brennan Clay and Trey Millard all back means the rushing attack will be the most proven part of OU's offense heading into the 2013 season.
Becoming a better running team falls under Stoops' top priority for next season.
"I think just overall as a team, I want to be more physical. I don't think you can ever be physical enough. It's definitely something you want to keep working on. Both in recruiting and how you develop them. We're aware and always, always every year talking about how we get more physical," he said.
Blake Bell could be the second coming of Sam Bradford in the pocket, but he's still going to be a first-year starter. The best way to break in a new quarterback is build the offense around the running game.
Emphasize Trey Millard: One of OU's biggest accomplishments since the regular season ended has been convincing Millard to stay for his senior year. Because of that, it has a bruising running back, the best blocking back in college football and an effective tight end to use next season.
They need to figure out a way to utilize all of those talents in every game.
"We always look for it, and we'll keep doing that, because we feel he's one of our best players," Stoops said.
Millard is a player who should be on the field for just about every snap. He wasn't this season; that should change in his senior year.
There's just too many things he does that helps teams win to have standing on the sideline for 20 offensive plays a game.
Use the linebackers more: There was a reason OU didn't use them much this season. There weren't any receivers they could cover in man-to-man coverage. But it left gapping holes in the run defense.
"It's just where do you put your pieces? Are you gonna be stronger defending the pass or stronger defending the run? That's the game everybody's playing," Stoops said. "We've got to find a better balance of it."
The Sooners sank to 89th in the country in rush defense and not having linebackers on the field had a lot to do with it. Opponents exploited it throughout the second half of the season. OU never adjusted.
Embrace the underdog role: The 2013 Sooners won't have the burden of preseason expectations that most of Stoops' teams carried.
They won't be the overwhelming pick to win the Big 12 title next season, and likely won't start the year ranked in the top 10. They're going to play some games they won't be favored to win.
OU hasn't had a team that really had to prove itself in the nation's eyes since 2000. That team embraced the underdog role and rode it to a national championship.
"We didn't seem very close when we had a shot at it in 2000," Stoops said. "You never know when it's coming. We're gonna work hard for it, and we'll try and make some improvements through the winter and spring and hopefully have a chance to be better next year."
