We'll soon be ready to start planting our summer gardens, but there are a few things to do first.
The location - One of the most important things to consider when planting a garden is location. Most summer vegetables need 6 to 8 hours of sun a day, so pick the sunniest place in your yard.
Preparing the soil - You can't grow healthy crops if you don't have healthy soil. Before starting, consider doing a soil test to see what nutrients may be lacking.
Loosen the soil - Before planting, loosen the soil with a broad fork, rake the bed, and cover the entire bed with 4 inches of compost and add a good organic vegetable fertilizer. Work that into the top 6 inches of your soil, then you're ready to plant.
Choose the right plant at the right time - Vegetables are divided into two categories -- warm season and cool season. With few exceptions, you can't grow warm crops in cool weather, and vice versa.
Choose the most popular plant - The most popular warm weather crops include tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, beans, cucumbers and squash, carrots and radishes.
Forget the rows and plant in a grid - You can fit more plants into a bed using the grid system.
The benefits to grid planting - is that as the plants grow, they shade the soil beneath, preventing wind and water erosion and suppressing weeds in the beds. The plants also grow in a carbon dioxide bubble, creating a rich growing environment.
Take advantage of the space you have - You only need 200 square feet of space to grow enough produce to feed a family of four in a year. Close, grid planting makes that possible, taking advantage of the space you have.

Thanks Dianne! It was your urging me to put this in the 'Two' NPC that made me think of it for this one.
This is very hard work.Good capture.LK2.Greetings.saykut
wow very nice shot kamalyn! Greetings from Spain, diego
Thanks so much saykut and diego! These men work hard out in the water harvesting cranberries, but I hope they realize how beautiful their work is! It was fascinating to see how cranberries are collected.
Good luck, nice photo!!!
Thanks very much Balázs! Cheers to you from Boston.
Great composition and beautiful work! Greetings from Barcelona
with high, and humble appreciation for your most generous vote, I am very glad it did not make the difference. compliments on this wonderful image from the bogs, and best regards, robert
Hi Robert - wow, thank you so much for such a nice comment! So nice to see someone else's cranberry bog photo here, too! They are so unusual and unexpected by those who've never seen the harvest!
And LOL, it would actually have been quite nice if our photos had been tied! Cheers to you - I don't often leave comments, but I enjoy coming across your photos from here in New England!
Hi Ninkwe - thanks so much for your vote in the NPC, and for your nice comment here! I'm glad you can enjoy this view of the cranberry harvest - usually the 'bogs' just look like dry, flat fields. It is only when they flood them for harvesting that the berries provide this gorgeous red surface. Greetings to you from Boston :)
Congratulazioni per il risultato nell'NPC.
Un saluto, Sandro & Cristina
Congrats always said it was one of my favs. D
Thanks very much Dianne, Sandro&Cristina, and to all of those who selected my photo in the Feb. NPC!
Dianne - it's funny that you kept suggesting this for the January NPC, and I didn't think it fit. But that's why this came to mind as soon as the topic was posted.
Fantastic work, good photo! Greetings Eva

After a 3-year ice age TiVo is back with a trio of new DVRs. What makes these the best ones yet is that all 3 models offer out-of-home streaming as well as the option to download shows & movies straight onto your iOS6 devices. They also come with a new remote that doesn't rely on IR plus a refreshed user interface & new YouTube & Netflix apps.
They've built an enduring reputation with superior sound products but maybe you didn't know that Bang & Olufsen also makes a mean TV. The Beovision 12 New Generation is a new, ultra-thin, 65-inch flatscreen HD plasma Smart TV boasting an advanced video engine that automatically adjusts and optimizes the picture quality of all your content.
OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. It's newer technology that's different & much brighter than both regular LED or LCD displays. LG offers up an ultra-thin 3-D HDTV with a curved screen. Kinda like iMax at home. It's only 4mm thick. That's thinner than a pencil & definitely thinner than your current HD flatscreen, which average about 15mm thick.
Chromecast is simpler than Google TV and improves on Apple TV & AirPlay. Plug it into any HDTV and control it with your existing smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Send your favorites from Google Play, YouTube, Netflix, and Chrome to your TV with just the press of a button.
With the release of the new 70-inch Sharp AQUOS Ultra HD LED TV, Sharp is leaping into the American 4K TV market. Like other 4Ks, this thing boasts four times the pixel resolution of a regular HD display. It's also the first television to receive the coveted THX 4K certification, guaranteeing a studio-quality image to the standards approved by a panel of Hollywood production experts. Available mid-August.
Endless options for what to watch on your smart TV often lead to endless searching. The Fan cleans up the multiple remotes junkshow, allowing you simply swipe & tap with one smooth, touchscreen remote while casually cruising through your options for Live TV, DVR & streaming programming.
The IMAX movie experience is as good as it gets. Except you still have to sit in a crowded theater with a bunch of tourists and teeny-boppers. But now you can get the IMAX experience at home, in a scaled-down (but equally as advanced) version. The IMAX technology suite includes a projection system, sound system, theater design, & support service. Yes, you'll probably have to build an addition onto your home.
With the new DesignLine TV from Philips, you don't have to hire a team of installers to hang your flatscreen on some ridiculous mount. Available in 46- or 55-inch, the groundbreaking design is crafted using a single sheet of glass. Just lean it against the wall and you're done. Available June 2013 starting in the UK.
2013 will be the year of the 4K TV, the greatest, most cutting edge development in television in years. Tech jargon aside, image quality on 4K makes 3D HDTV look like listening to the game on the radio. This 65-inch behemoth from Sony with dual 65W speakers, TRILUMINOS display, Dynamic Edge LED backlight & wireless smartphone mirroring technology is so good it's not even out yet.
It's all about function. The Smart Share feature lets you share content from your devices like your phone or tablet with your TV, the On Now function discovers VoD content that is "trending" so you don't have to think about what you want to watch or hunt for it, and with CPUs that are 120% faster than before, the entire line of new LG Smart TVs is smarter.

When I generate the static site, no pages beyond the theme and index seem to get created.
Doesnt work any more. Just another dead plugin....
Installed ok.
Plugin did generate main pages (from the menu) but didn't keep any embedded graphics or even follow lower pages.
Instructions almost non existent (on how to use it - I was thinking it might have been my not knowing what to do). Tried website link (from this plugins page) but that went to generic site (was at least Leon's) with no info on this specific plugin (or any) on this site. Strange!

Hey I have a working Login/out thing on my sidebar, but I want to find something so that it enables login/out without going to WP default login page and dashboard.
Why don't you just remove it from the sidebar, and then just go to the login URL?
Hi doodlebee, thanks for the response, can you elaborate a little bit, I am a newbie in this whole webpage thing.
If I remove it from the sidebar, where would i put it?
What login URL are you talking about?
just remove the meta stuff from the sidebar. When you want to log in, just put in the login URL into the address bar.
Or are you asking if you can log in and get to a page other than the dashboard after you're accepted?
No, what I mean is....
I have set up a login/pw/register thing in my sidebar...check it out at http://www.sternshowclips.com
When someone (not myself) wants to register, they click on the register link...this brings them to a default wordpress register screen, then once they get their password in the email...they can sign in, which brings them to the dashboard where they can edit their profile...i would rather them go to another type of page rather than the default WP pages..
Any tips?
Just go into your wp-login.php file and find the line that says
$redirect_to = 'wp-admin/';
under the case 'login'
And replace wp-admin with index.php or where ever you want to redirect to.
Are you looking for something like this, check this post out.
Thanks Archard,
You just solved my problem too :)

Celebrations and CeremoniesCeremonies
It is important for the Peublo tribe to have harmony with their natural world. They do this by having traditions and ceremonies.They pray for rain ,good harvests, and peace. They dance in different seasons to honor animals such as deer, antelope, buffalo,and eagles. They hold corn, bean, rain, and harvest dances. Their ceremonies are held in kivas. A kiva is a underground ceremonieal room that is usuially round instead of square. They were used for religious ceremonies that only the men could attend. Kivas could be as large as 25 feet across,and their floors were usuially at least 5 feet below the surface of the ground. Their roofs, like those of houses, were made of thick adobe supported by long wood beams and branches. Flat stone slabs often lined the floor and sides,and sometimes there were benches inside. if the men were not doing religious ceremonies, they would use the kivas much like clubhouses, for relaxing or doing light work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO2g9tgWjbU
The principal ceremonies are held between crop seasons. These ceremonies consist of prayers and thanks for rain and good crops. Kachinas are spirits that are believed to bring rain and good. These spirits are believed to exist in the masked dancers ,who impersonate them in ceremonies. The spirits are also thought to exist in Kachina dolls that are given to children. Some of the eastern Pueblos divide their villages into Summer and Winter People, who alternate responsibility for rituals.
Most Pueblo Indians celebrate and honor their Native American traditions with a feast day celebration. Which include dances with brilliant attire and sacred rituals. Attending one of these events is an excellent way to learn about the Pueblo culture. Dear and buffalo dances are commonly open to the public. Each dance tells a story and serves a different purpose. The ceremony dress worn by the dancers is more then just decorative; the feathers, jewelry and beads all communicate to part of the story. Every story is considered a prayer, not a performance such as outsiders are privileged to observe them. Drums beat with an insistent cadence and the air is filled with the fragrance of piñon smoke. Red chile ristras (strings) decorate many homes, with the chilies destined to add their distinct flavor to stews and sauces throughout the winter. The sights, sounds and smells of the pueblo celebrations are a feast for the senses.

text: A haunting and hallucinatory drama about the making of art, Inventing Van Gogh is the story of the final van Gogh self-portrait, painted just before the artist's death, which has never been seen… until now. Patrick Stone, a contemporary painter, is hired to forge this final masterpiece—and finds himself squaring off, across the years, with van Gogh himself. The result is a compelling mystery about the obsession to create and the fine line that separates truth from myth.

(1844-1900). He was a man of the 19th century whose influence on 20th-century thought was enormous. It was not so much what Friedrich Nietzsche believed as what he saw happening in European civilization that was so meaningful in later decades. He saw a civilization so self-confident over its mastery of science, technology, politics, and economics that for it "God is dead," and that "belief in the Christian God has become unworthy of belief." Nietzsche saw emerging tensions arising from those who embraced the ideologies of democracy, socialism, or Communism. He predicted: "There will be wars such as there have never been on Earth before." His death in Weimar, Germany, on Aug. 25, 1900, prevented him from witnessing the accuracy of his predictions.

The geographic distribution of genetic variation reflects trends in past population migrations and can be used to make inferences about these migrations. It has been proposed that the east–west orientation of the Eurasian landmass facilitated the rapid spread of ancient technological innovations across Eurasia, while the north–south orientation of the Americas led to a slower diffusion of technology there. If the diffusion of technology was accompanied by gene flow, then this hypothesis predicts that genetic differentiation in the Americas along lines of longitude will be greater than that in Eurasia along lines of latitude. We use 678 microsatellite loci from 68 indigenous populations in Eurasia and the Americas to investigate the spatial axes that underlie population-genetic variation. We find that genetic differentiation increases more rapidly along lines of longitude in the Americas than along lines of latitude in Eurasia. Distance along lines of latitude explains a sizeable portion of genetic distance in Eurasia, whereas distance along lines of longitude does not explain a large proportion of Eurasian genetic variation. Genetic differentiation in the Americas occurs along both latitudinal and longitudinal axes and has a greater magnitude than corresponding differentiation in Eurasia, even when adjusting for the lower level of genetic variation in the American populations. These results support the view that continental orientation has influenced migration patterns and has played an important role in determining both the structure of human genetic variation and the distribution and spread of cultural traits.

Air cargo usually arrives within 2 weeks after they packed it, and sea shipment usually arrives within 2 months. You can also ask the movers to put your sea shipment to storage for free, until you get your new home. Of course, they also covers insurance for your stuff, so it's always worry free. For me, I only used up 50% of my air cargo and 13% of my container space. So as long as you are not a millionaire and living in a super-sized house, they can move your house.
Your temporary house is ready as soon as you arrive (with your free one-way air ticket). Your relocation specialist will ask for your top concerns about the temporary house. For me, I didn't drive so I want a house as close to campus as possible, and I need high-speed Internet access too. So they give me a well-furnished temporary house just 30-50 meters to my office building, with all the kitchenware, high-speed Internet, housekeeping services. Surprisingly, I got a DVD player and a 40" TV in my temporary house too.
A destination agent will be assigned to you as your assistant. They will help you to setup social security number, bank account, credit card, driving license, rent/buy a home, lease/buy a car. They will also introduce the community to you. If you are Christian and want to find a church, they will do that for you too. So, after 1-2 months, you will have your new home, got your car, and you can start building your community circle.
Want to experience Redmond on your own? No problem! Microsoft will give you a rental car. You can drive it away after you get your license. Of course, the rental car is just for few weeks, but they don't start the timer until you "summon" your car. And at anytime, you can "unsummon" it, so you can save your rental car time.
The whole relocation package is people-ready in mind. If you think you are brilliant, apply for a job in Microsoft now!

According to James Taranto's column today, THIS is the poster being displayed by Islamic fanatics in London gathering to CELEBRATE the Sept. 11 attack.
(Excerpt) Read more at opinionjournal.com ...
September 20, 2001 President Declares "Freedom at War with Fear"
Does this mean Britain?
Another Muslim jihadist in Birmingham, England- this one a psychiatrist working in the public health system.
Hell,they've got noting on US. The "Toady Show" with perky little Kommie Katie and Matt Liar will be celebrating Bin Laden's "victory" for a full 6 hours tomorrow. They ain't the only ones,either. The other networks will be trying to outdo them so THEY can get the advertising dollars.
What made you stop? I sure haven't.
England could finance their health care system for a decade if they enforce these laws on the Islamic Terrorist meeting.
Second, schedule this match for the same time and place as this Muslim rally. And give the police the day off.
Problem solved.
Here they go again with this "Towering Day in History" cr*p! The utter lack of humanity of these people is really difficult to believe. The commies and nazis at least promised a better life for their people. These guys are a death cult than make Jim Jones look rational.
Ok...now WHERE is this meeting? WHAT time? Oh ok....we'll be sure to DROP IN!!!!! :o
Oops, sorry, we were just testing the directional indicators on our missiles. Didn't mean to actually launch ALL of our live ones!!!!
I haven't seen this poster and I am in the centre of London. It must be kept to the Muslim enclaves, where, as you might imagine, I don't go. ;)
Regards, Ivan
The thought of finding a working Lancaster bomber, loading it with hot pig fat and dropping it on the enclaves has occured to me.
Regards, Ivan
In my opinion, the feelings range from mild resentment to simmering dislike.
Is there the same cultural divide in England as there is in the U.S.: the people being overwhelmingly in favor of limiting immigration, while the politicians allow it to go on?
My opinion: this is what socialized medicine has wrought. The Baby Boomers never bothered to reproduce and to replace their numbers, so their retirement would be a financial disaster for any nation that didn't allow in untold numbers of immigrants to pay for the old folks' medical care.
Not really. What happens is this - as societies become more affluent, birth rates generally go down. It is becoming more and more expensive to raise a child as we become wealthier (I know that sounds odd, but a child 30 years ago didn't need an XBox) and birth control is more readily available.
Socialised medicine hasn't helped, but it is a function of affluence I believe.

In Hollywood, you're only as good as your next project, and the same goes for Cannes this week. At the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, where Chopard held its Belle de Nuit party Wednesday — the first of many late-night bashes over the next several days — actors talked up the films they're in town to promote and the ones they might be here for next year.
French actress Emma de Caunes discussed her upcoming role as Kiki de Montparnasse in a Man Ray biopic, due to start filming this fall. "She was a strong figure in the Twenties, an artists' muse," de Caunes said. Giovanni Ribisi is set to play Man Ray, and Christina Ricci also is reported to have signed on.
This story first appeared in the May 15, 2009 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Fledgling Italian actress Alessia Piovan chatted about her part in the upcoming musical "Nine," which stars Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Marion Cotillard and Penélope Cruz. "I play an actress who comes for an audition with Daniel Day-Lewis' character," Piovan said, sipping pink Champagne. "Working with him was pretty huge."
Up-and-coming actor Alden Ehrenreich and Roman Coppola, wearing battered Vans, mingled among guests including Eugenia Silva, who was wearing Giorgio Armani Privé (Elizabeth Banks, Isabelle Huppert and Asia Argento also were dressed in Giorgio Armani Privé for festivities earlier in the evening.)

Ehrenreich plays Bennie in Francis Ford Coppola's hyped drama "Tetro," which opens the film festival's Directors' Fortnight section. "During rehearsals, [Coppola] threw a costume party where we had to wear something that our character would wear and remain in character," said Ehrenreich.
Roman Coppola said he'll be working on the production of his sister Sofia Coppola's next movie, to be filmed in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, Devon Aoki got some fresh air on the balcony. She's working on opening an organic restaurant in Los Angeles and is also recording an album with her brother, DJ and producer Steve Aoki. Perhaps under the guise that practice makes perfect, the model-turned-musician demonstrated a few exercises for strengthening the vocal chords. "This one's excellent," she said, daintily blowing a raspberry.

Cast: Jenner, Donnie Long, Andrew Andretti, Seth Dickens, Lee Stone, John West, Aurora Snow, Jay Ashley, Mika Tan, Trina Michaels
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
While Ravenous isn't as darkly distinctive as Nicki Hunter's first directorial effort, the Fem-Dom grudge-fucking Psychotic, there's plenty here to feed off of nonetheless.
Naturally, the very spicy Hunter's two scenes are the tastiest and demonstrate why she was the most deserving winner earlier this year of the XRCO's Female Performer of the Year award.
The opener stars the buff-bod trio of Hunter, Tory Lane and Lee Stone in an SM-tinged anal barn burner, while the closer has Nicki riding Seth Dickens? and Donnie Long's d.p. express. It ends appropriately enough with Nicki, a splooge strand swinging off her lower lip, still ravenous for more man muck.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (March 1, 2013)--A wildfire that damaged a house in Riverside County and left nearly 2,000 Southern California residents without power was 30 percent contained Friday, and a voluntary evacuation was lifted.
Firefighters Friday were battling the 200-acre blaze that erupted Wednesday in the area of a riverbed in Jurupa Valley.
TV reports show flames still burning tinder-dry palm trees, sending up showers of sparks.
Morning winds were light, but gusts as high as 35 miles per hour were possible through the afternoon.
At its peak, the fire burned near homes and burned power lines.
Service has since been restored.

Has Well Productivity Peaked in the Nation's Largest Shale Gas Play?
Guess what? Almost all the current wars, uprisings, and other conflicts in the Middle East are connected by a single thread, which is also a threat...
With the recent plunge in oil prices, it feels like the right time to check back in with Richard Heinberg of the Post-Carbon Institute.
The Fracking Fallacy debate is important because it casts doubt on the reliability of government estimates of our natural gas supply. If U.S. gas production is in decline by the early 2020s as described in the Nature article, or sooner as I suspect, then important policy …
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Saudis will not entertain production cuts even if oil prices fall further and that Riyadh expects that global oil will settle around $60 a barrel which it says is sustainable for the Gulf Arab states.
A mid week update.
Russia and China have signed two large natural gas deals in the last six months as Russia turns its attention eastward in reaction to sanctions and souring relations with Europe, currently Russia's largest energy export market. But the move has implications beyond Europe.
Where is George Orwell when you need him? It is a supreme irony that cornucopian oil industry mouthpiece and consultant Daniel Yergin should receive America's first medal for energy security named after James Schlesinger, the first U.S. energy secretary.

1995 Constitution of Ethiopia
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
Related topics
The Constitution of Ethiopia, which is the supreme law of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, was adopted by the Transitional Government of Ethiopia in December 1994 and came into force in August 1995. The constitution was drawn up by the Constituent Assembly elected in June of that year.[1]
The constitution consists of 106 articles in 11 chapters. It provides for a federal government of nine ethnic-based regions governed by a parliament divided into a House of Peoples' Representatives and House of Federation. The constitution expressly provides for a set of basic human rights; Article 13 specifies that these rights and freedoms will be interpreted according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and other international instruments adopted by Ethiopia. The document further guarantees that all Ethiopian languages will enjoy equal state recognition, although Amharic is specified as the working language of the federal government. Ethiopia has a tradition of highly personal and strongly centralized government, a pattern the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (the coalition presently in government) has followed despite constitutional limits on federal power.[1]
The first elections held under the provisions of the 1995 Constitution were the 2000 general elections; the 1995 general elections were held in May, three months before this constitution came into force.
This constitution remains, as of 2014, the fundamental law of Ethiopia.

Feeling burdened by life's cares? Then kick back for a minute and listen to Weightless (Alamar), the latest leak off The ILLZ' next street album. Fragile State handles productoin duties, serving up a breezy jazz beat (complete with with an outro sampled from Fink's Sort of Revolution (Cinematic Orchestra Remix)) to back the Jersey repper as he sits on the beach, allowing his own worries to fade into insignificance. The Darkest Hour still lacks a release date, but listeners are encouraged to request an advance copy via the artist's official site.

Welcome to March Madness, baby!
We are closing in on Championship Week, then Selection Sunday and the best three weeks in sports. I love the Big Dance as it is so special. We see David-and-Goliath matchups. There is so much drama, passion and emotion.
Right now, the beauty of college basketball is shown by the top teams. Does it really matter who is No. 2 and 3 right now? Well, it matters when you get a No. 1 seed for the Big Dance.
I think three of the top four seeds are pretty well set. I don't see it changing, as Syracuse, Kansas and Kentucky have put together a strong body of work.
As we push through the next two weeks, there will be a battle for that fourth No. 1 seed. Duke has a big matchup with Maryland, and if the Blue Devils beat the Terrapins, they will be right there to get that No. 1 seed. Schools like Kansas State, Purdue and Villanova are still in the hunt, though the Boilermakers could have a hard time with Robbie Hummel sidelined for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
It will be interesting to see how Kentucky responds after a recent loss at Tennessee. How do the young kids respond come tournament time? The Cats have three diaper dandies starting, and they account for the majority of the offense (except for Patrick Patterson). Kentucky has had a problem making the 3-point shot. You have to be concerned about its youth.
I am also excited about the big games coming up. Many of them will determine whether or not a team goes to the tournament. Look at Connecticut at Notre Dame. That is a major game, and so many teams have similar résumés, with 17, 18, 19 or 20 wins and slightly above-.500 records in league play.
Look at a team like Florida, which has to face Vanderbilt and Kentucky before the SEC tournament. The loss to Georgia was big; if the Gators lose three in a row to close the regular season, it could be tough on Billy Donovan's club. The perception in the eyes of the committee -- not good.
Illinois should be in the field of 65, but it might take another win or two to lock up a bid. I see a squad like UAB out of Conference USA with a 23-5 overall mark, but the Blazers might need to do a little more. A lot of teams still have to close out the deal. It is fun to track the teams on the bubble, battling, scraping and clawing to make the field of 65.
Looking ahead, I love the experience of Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich of Kansas. The 2-3 zone of Syracuse is a monster; it is so active and teams don't face it very often. The Orange is playing so well, and Andy Rautins is better than you think.
March Madness is the best time of year. This year's NCAA tournament should be wacky because there is so much parity in college basketball. There is excitement galore, my friends. It is awesome, baby, with a capital A!

Geocube – GPU accelerated real-time rendering of transparency and translucency

We present a new method based on GPU acceleration for real-time transparency and translucency rendering. Our method computes refraction at both the front and back sides of a transparent object, as well as internal reflection, thus delivering interactive realistic transparency effects on a commodity PC. The real-time performance is made possible by a new acceleration data structure, called geocube, that enables the use of GPU for fast ray-surface intersection testing. In addition, within the same framework, we introduce the novel use of the mip-map for a hierarchical representation of a sequence of key prefiltered environment maps to simulate translucency. By taking ray depth into account and using GPU to interpolate the key filtered maps to produce the desired blurring effects, we achieve real-time realistic translucency rendering of slightly scattering media that allows show-through of background details.

Cappie Pondexter's time to shine
The beauty of Cappie Pondexter is not overtly evident when you watch her play. That would be too easy. No, her beauty is located somewhere else.
It's how she thinks. When I spoke with her Tuesday, before Wednesday night's Game 4 of the WNBA Finals (Pondexter's Phoenix Mercury trail the Indiana Fever 2-1 in the best-of-five series), I asked her about the Game 3 her squad had just lost -- a game in which she personally didn't come through at the end. "Is there anything you would have done differently in the last couple of minutes?" I asked her. And here is her beauty.
"People say you shouldn't have any regrets after you play," Pondexter said. "[To me] it's not about having regrets, it's about learning. And I learned a couple of things."
Most superstar athletes of Pondexter's status (think Dwyane Wade in the NBA) would never answer that question that way. They exist without regret. Arrogance often prevents that. But not here. Not with her.
"[I needed to be] a little more patient when I first drove to the basket on that layup," Pondexter added. "Try to draw contact following through on the last jump shot that I took."
Even though she is arguably the best point guard in the WNBA, Pondexter is still processing what went wrong and what will go right. Even though the weight of the Mercury's fate in these WNBA Finals rests on the shoulders of league MVP Diana Taurasi, the result -- whether Phoenix notches its second title in three years -- is primarily in the hands of the player who, this time two years ago, was hoisting up not only the championship trophy but also the Finals MVP award.
See, the beauty of Cappie Pondexter cannot be found in the photo that accompanies this column, or the body that will be on display in ESPN The Magazine's upcoming "body issue," or in her "way-out" hairstyle, or in the 19.3 points and 5 assists per game she's averaging in these Finals.
It's not in the words of ESPN analyst Carolyn Peck, who said, "The thing I like about Cappie is her basketball instinct, her strength, how she gets to the basket, runs, and how fast she plays. She doesn't need plays called for her and she can score at will."
It's not in the fact that she calls herself Cappa23 on her Twitter page, or that WNBA tat which covers her right shoulder, or how last year -- when she was second in the league in scoring (21.2 ppg) -- she considered it a bad year because her team did not repeat as champion.
It's in this: "I never thought about taking [basketball] this far," Pondexter said. "Growing up in Chicago, we pretty much ate, slept, breathed basketball. That's all we did, sun up to sun down. But I never imagined being a professional basketball player."
"You never thought about becoming, possibly being one of the best players in the world?" I asked her. "That never entered your mind?"
"Naw, I never really thought about it. I never realized that basketball was my dream."
The beauty of Cappie Pondexter is not what she does -- it's who she is. An unpretentious, still somewhat unknown superstar who has reached the pinnacle of her profession without being scarred by the game.
When I asked her what's the worst thing anybody could say about her, she replied, "That I don't work hard." And when I asked her if there's anyone out there who might say that about her, she said, without hesitation, "No."
Now Pondexter and her teammates are on the brink of either failure or continuation. Backs and bra straps against the wall. Two games max remain in the WNBA season. Cappie's squad needs to win both.
Taurasi dropping 30? Penny Taylor scoring at will? Tamika Catchings having a couple of off nights? Nope. The outcome of the WNBA Finals rests strictly in how Pondexter plays, and what she's learned. "Patience drawing contact following through." In what she is able to will. In what she's about to make happen.
And that's the beauty of Cappie Pondexter. Not that she will be the determining factor in crowning this year's WNBA champion. That, when it comes to her life, she might be the only one who never saw this coming.

Should I start Favre vs Green Bay or Palmer vs Browns. My instincts say Palmer because Green Bay looks to have a pretty good defense but I'm unsure because Favre may throw a couple of picks in Green Bay.
Also, I can only start 2 of the following RB:
Coffee vs Rams
Felix Jones-Hurt so it dont matter
Portis vs Bucs
Jones-Drew vs Titans
I currently have Coffee and Jones-Drew starting. Feel pretty good about it but need reassurance.

PHILADELPHIA Ś Michael Vick and Nick Foles shared the Eaglesĺ quarterback duties last season and lost three times more often than they won.
Vick was sloppy and brittle and overwhelmed. Foles was slow and slower and overwhelmed. They turned over the ball, kept the trainers steep in overtime pay and did nothing to preserve Andy Reidĺs job. Had the two of them run out of the NewsControl Compound together, as if bound for a three-legged race, Eagles fans would have lined Pattison Ave. to jingle cowbells, imploring them to pick up the pace.
Thatĺs what they did when Reid left. And when Chip Kelly came in, they used those same noisemakers to celebrate. Thatĺs because while there were no promises of success, there was at least the breeze of change. And with the most innovative offensive mind in an ever-evolving industry, at least the Eagles would have a chance to stitch new replica jerseys, with a new quarterbackĺs name on the back, and a new number.
Now, fans will be forced to sneak back into the Linc clad in one of two tattered models from last year, that being the message Monday when Kelly revealed his plan to use Vick and Foles, or to use Foles and Vick, depending on the down and distance.
ôI guess the best way I can put this is, I agree, there is a chance of scenery going on here,ö Kelly said. ôFor Michael Vick, there is a change of scenery, but not a change of address.ö
Kelly could have said that Vick was his ultimate weapon, the future of football and not the past, a star then, a star now, a star forever. Or he might have boasted that Foles was thick in the next class of great NFL quarterbacks, and for emphasis, could have reduced his name to two initials and a crooked number, the way they do in Washington.
Instead, he did neither, promising only that they would split the reps in minicamp, in alphabetical order. And with a sly and almost friendly grin, he even refused to say whether that would be based on the last name or the first.
ôWeĺre not ruling out anything right now,ö Kelly said. ôI think our job Ś from Day 1 Ś is to put the best team on the field when we open up the season. So I donĺt rule anything out and I donĺt rule anything in. But I know moving forward that we, as an organization, had to make a decision what to do with Michael. And I want Michael to be part of this team.ö
The Eagles could have used their next draft choice, No. 4 overall, for a fresh-start quarterback. Instead, they muscled the oft-injured Vick into absorbing a salary hit and staying with them for one more year. If that works, Kelly can credit his own offense and bow while he accepts the Coach of the Year certificate. If it flops, he can shrug that he was forced to microwave leftovers, and re-set his own NFL odometer to 0. It is good business, if not great football.
ôTheyĺre both going to compete,ö Kelly said. ôAnd who the starting quarterback is to start the season off is going to be won on the practice field.ö
So thatĺs Kellyĺs plan, born from the reality that there would be no invigorating alternative. He will run an offense without a particular identity and army-golf his way to success, one hack at it at a time.
At least his revelation came with a certain openness, something that had been on back-order around there since the last century.
ôThey are going to be learning,ö said Bill Lazor, Kellyĺs new quarterbacks coach. ôAnd if they love football and the specifics of how to play quarterback and what the techniques are and how you study and how you learn, then they are going to have a blast. And if weĺre all having fun and weĺre all having success, weĺre all going to be smiling.ö
Vick could stay healthy. Foles could benefit from unscheduled experience. Kellyĺs playbook should be refreshing. And if they go better than 4-12, yes, there will be smiles. Some, anyway.

Isabel Marant
Kate Moss in Siwy
Kate Moss is once again back in her Isabel Marant fur jacket. She is also back in some fringe boots. This time it is some Black Louboutin Rom boots. She finished off her look with a scarf and her favorite Siwy Hannah jeans in It's Magic.
I think on anyone else, the combination of fringe boots with fur, would look a tad too much. Being Kate, of course, she wears it with so much confidence that it looks great on her. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $154.

Megan Fox in Siwy
Megan Fox was spotted going back to her car after having lunch in West Hollywood, California. She wore a pair of the Siwy Hannah Jeans in First Love. Megan seems to go through jean phases, just like everyone else. When she wears one brand, she wears them for quite some time. At this moment it seems to be Siwy.
I would like to see Megan rock some Marant in her regular outings. I think she has the easy summer soul of the brand, especially some of the sweaters. She'll look great in them. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $208.
Rose McGowan in a Etoile Isabel Marant Denim Dress
How beautiful does Rose McGowan look here?! She was leaving the famous Byron & Tracey salon in Beverly Hills, California a couple of days ago. I know this outfit is fairly casual because of the Etoile Isabel Marant denim dress but I love how she paired it with lace up booties and tights. I think it looks so classic! I think it's combination of the longer sleeves with an elasticated waist and a zip opening is gorgeous. It looks incredibly comfortable! What do you denim lovers think? Would you wear it?

Katie Holmes in J Brand
Katie Holmes was spotted at the ice skating rink with her family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She wore a pair of J Brand Lovestory jeans in Essex with the Isabel Marant Yoan sweater. I really like these jeans on Katie. I think they are probably one of the best fitting pairs that I have seen on her.
What I love the most about this look is her sweater. It is probably one of my favorite pieces from the Fall collection. I have this weird affection for holiday-ish sweaters and I find this one to be amazing. The color combination of it is just perfect. It has all the festive feel without the usual reindeer theme that makes the usual holiday sweater not so great.

It Blows
This past April, South Beach Comedy Festival-goers were treated to an eccentric tragicomedy about an eccentric celebrity: Isabella Blow, the British fashion muse and magazine editor known for her keen eye (she discovered Alexander McQueen) and ostentatious headwear. Exploring Issi's wit, style, and death wish — she attempted suicide six times before succeeding, in 2007 — Jessica Farr penned the one-act play, then called Charming Acts of Misery, for the Mad Cat Theatre Company. Now, that minimalist 40-minute show has been expanded to a full-length production with more elaborate sets, costumes, props, and an added cast member. If the original Comedy Fest production was heavier on the laughs, this full-length play, called Blow Me, will explore both the ups and downs of Issi's roller coaster of a life. "The first production felt more like a teaser," Farr says. "Before, we met the characters and they were more transient, symbolic. This time, they will all have arcs and a greater presence in the story." Blow Me marks Mad Cat's debut production in its new home at the Miami Theater Center (9816 NE Second Ave., Miami Shores). The show runs this Thursday through September 1, and showtime is 8 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Tickets cost $30 for adults and $15 for students. Call 866-811-4111 or visit madcattheatre.org.
Thursdays-Sundays. Starts: Aug. 15. Continues through Sept. 1, 2013

Thanks for the heads up on the AK Forum!
That AK looks wicked with that "pointy thing" on the end!!!
I'm going to go back to the shop that has this AK on consighment Wednesday and look it over again. When I was there Saturday, I spoke to the shop's gunsmith and he said the gun was orginally purchased there and that in his opinion, the weapon is in nice shape.
I must admit, when he gave it to me off the rack, I could not tell it was used. Very well taken care of and clean!!
We'll see!! Thanks for the input, gang!

SDCC: "Batman: The Killing Joke" Cast & Crew Debuts Film at Comic-Con International
• Dan Nadel offers a devastating — and as far as I can tell, the only — negative review of Darywn Cooke's The Hunter (which, by the way, has gone back for a second printing already). Lemme quote a bit here:
Even if I'm wrong and Cooke's reading is utterly faithful, this adaptation doesn't work very well as a comic book. Cooke's character design is strangely generic, his storytelling is often unclear, and his drawing, while polished and stylish, is dull. Parker looks like a generic sort of Bruce Wayne, with a face and body language that betrays not a hint of an inner-life. Panel-to-panel and particularly page-to-page Cooke has a difficult time clearly conveying where a scene is occurring and what, precisely, the action and emotions are that he's trying to draw.
He goes on to use John Stanley as a point of comparison, which befuddles some folks in the comments section.
• Julia Keller of the Chicago Tribune really liked Tim Hamilton's adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, to the point where she offered this pithy paragraph:
Some of my anti-comics correspondents claim that reading a graphic novel is not really "reading" at all. They're right. It's something else again. In the case of "Fahrenheit 451," it's more like a life-changing immersion in ideas, words, echoes, symbols, characters, lines, colors, nightmares — and finally, daybreak.
Now don't get crazy Julia.
• Nina Stone finally catches up with the Buffy comics: "As of now, after this read, I don't have any interest to read it again."

Am I jumping on a bandwagon? A hearse? A flatulent wildebeest?
In any case, thank you for noticing, but I will be jumping off again soon, I promise. Even if I wanted to keep it up week after week, I don't think I could afford it.
I haven't read the Parker GN yet, but having read a lot of the Parker novels – the first three in the series, and all of the ones that Stark/Westlake did since reviving the character 10 years ago – I can say that Parker doesn't have much of a inner life. Indeed, that's sort of the point of the first book. He is all about cold revenge in the first couple of books, and then all about making a dishonest living after that. He has no depth whatsoever. Which works in the context of a series about heists and thieves. There are characters in the series who do have inner lives, and they play off Parker quite well. But I think that anyone who's a fan of these books reads them for the inner Parker.
