I'm going to go with Wolverine, but it could be a tough one. Of course, maybe the better question should be Wolverine against Dutch, since he already beat a Predator.
Wolverine HANDS DOWN. No question about it. Wolverine has gone toe2toe with the HULK YES THE HULK! And he's stood his own - Wolverine is simply the baddest Sob in the marvel universe BTW we talking about comic wolverine not movie. Wolverine will slice him into pieces, he would dodge his blasts and he would just stab him in his face. We forget to mention that wolverine is a trained martial artist having gone to japan and all over asia, he will know where to attack the predator. He will slice his feet, open spots where there's no armor, and besides his claws will go through the armor! Not to mention his super healing and his smell sense, Predators invisibility will not work. IN FACT! The predator will become the prey!!
NO WAY, predator would decamate. Im a HUGE X-MEN fan from way back(did u know they used to be comic books lmao) but lets be realistic. Predator has lasers and nets and SPACESHIPS, 3-4 visions and ultra sensative hearing, wolvarine has over grown metallic fingernails lol.
The real question here is would a predator see him?????? with a metallic skeleton wouldnt that cool his over-all body temp down?
God that would be the best comic cross over of all time. I would think you would have to up the stakes a bit , wolverine verse a Hunting party of at three Predators. I could see the first panel starting with "a large claw of a hand touching a button and dozens of images of Wolverine and the Xmen battleing diffrent foes, flashing across larger window with the earth in the back ground. then all the images freeze , and a hand rises and points at close of Login in the Predator tonge says that one. " then it gos from there.
end result , my money Wolverine.. 8)
The problem here is which version are you dealing with...
Predator 1 or 2 vs X-Men movies= Predator (If Huge Jackman is way too PG)
Predator movies or comic vs Classic X-men comics = Wolverine ( Logan was unlike anything ever in comics)
Now if they knew about each other abilites...Predator if he gets off a laser snipe
If they bumped into each other in the woods and knew nothing...Wolverine (healing factor saves him from the worst beatings and enemy would think the battle was over when it was not, See Hulk vs Wolverine)
(See Brood aliens vs class X-men comic for more details)
You are all forgetting that the predator has a mini-nuke on his arm and that they could pull the predators out and unleash a captured alien queen which could in turn make a new alien hive and yeah game over for wolverine.
Good point the Predators were really advanced.
Yet, despite that they never went out of their way beyond what they had on hand to fight. Since they never killed anyone unarmed, they seemed to have some sense of honor. They would never nuke where logan was in order to kill him in fact, he would be the greatest prize.
It would be one on one and no nukes.

predator, clearly.
No way, Wolverine EASY. Predator got beat by humans in the first 2 movies, Wolverine's claws go through their armor. He got blown up, got his gut ripped open, has taken shotgun shots to the face. DO not confuse comic book wolverine with cheap movie wolverine, comic book wolverine is a beast. AS in he'll be HUNTING the predator. He can sense him, smell/hearing, vision, Predator can use lasers, blades -- DOES not matter, wolverine is too fast and stronger THAN Arnold the governator(Yeah I couldn't spell his dam last name)
Wolverine has battled the BADDEST of the villains, he fears no predator FOR dying in battle is the greatest glory of all... Wait a minute, wrong movie.
Predator vs Batman, like they had some video once on the net, that would be a cool fight.

If I remember correctly, Wolverine survived a nuke like thing in Meltdown.
Wolverine. Predator can die. Wolverine can die too but he goes down much harder. Plus he has unbreakable bones and claws that cut anythin'
GOShSh somebody put that dam voting thing here so we can vote on who will win. Yes, in Marvel's civil war wolverine survived an explosion of MAssive magnitude that destroyed a nearby school. wOLVErine cannot ANd will not die.
Predators aren't all that crazy people, they have some nifty technology, and are pretty strong, I'd put them on the level of about Beast's strength. Let's see, Wolverine is has some superhuman strength at well, breaking chains, lifting cars, I'd say they're about equal.
Healing factor, as well as all his other senses combined, his ADAmanTIum laced skeleton means this battle is clearly in favor of wolverine. He's fast enough to dodge bullets, and has served for the Canadian Government .
Wolverine has had his eyes gouged out, heart taken out, heart impaled, fell from an airplane, his metal ripped out by Magneto, Sabretooth who they've fought for days at a time, week's of chasing and hunting one another, how can you say Predator can win?
I'd say plenty of mutants have the advantage over the Predators, cause they're simply meant to hunt Humans, mutants are a different breed.
Now JUbillee Vs a Predator! That will be a fight I'll pay to see!
ok, this is potentially a close match;
Wolverine has extreme senses, greater than the predator's. Wolverine also has apparently indestructible adamantium bones and claws.
the predator would most likely loose in a match between the two. unless the predator's weapons happen to be adamantium, or something stronger; in the second predator movie, the predator's smart-disc was tested and found to be an unknown element stronger than any known metal, which means that if adamantium was a known metal, it was stronger than that, and if it wasn't it might have been adamantium.
so in the case that the predator's weapons and armor are made from adamantium or something stronger, there is a good chance of the predator winning; the comic book wolverine survived being completely de-fleshed because his brain was protected by his adamantium-plated skull (as long as his brain is not destroyed, he lives period). if adamantium (or the possible stronger metal) can cut through adamantium then the predator could theoretically get a head shot in on wolverine and kill him. What a fine trophy that predator would have lol.
Alright no way the predator would win this one, if Arnold can kill the Predator then Wolverine would totally own him I'm sorry did my sarcasm hurt your feelings?
WOlverine. Predator may have a nuke and be more advance and may be leathal in movies and it's true Wolive is pg in movies... But Wolvie is first and foremost, a comic book character. :D Logan can heal, the mini nuke may work on the surrounding area, but he'd make it out alright. He'd take a hell of a long time to heal, but as long as Predator is dead too he'd be like 'fuck it, I'm goin home'. Wolvierine... is no pussy cat. Comic wise, he's killed and killed a lot. Not to quote him but... Logan is the best at what he does, but what he does isn't very nice. It was from comics first... leavemealone. But yea so anyways, Wolvie would win hands down. Beeter bet would be how long it would take Wolvie to wear the predator down before he would ka-boomed himself.
since one predator is obviously outmatched by wolverine, how about we even the scales a bit??lets say..... 30 predators vs wolverine
If Wolvie can take down an army of Skrulls or Hydra... he can tooootally take on the 30 alien Preditor Pack easy as pie.
Wolvie all the way! Come on! The only way he can die is by chopping his HEAD off! I def. think he would win! ;)
PREDATOR , he's got weapons that would kill Wolverine in an instant. His wrist blades would slice through Wolverine with ease , his shoulder cannon can blow up any ones head , and Pred's net gun slice and dice that mutant into Legos. Plus : Wolverine can't slice through Predator's armor.
I'd say that an unprepared predator would be easy target for Wolverine but if we talk about one that watched him for a while and knows al labout him including his weakness to magnetism (which is probable)... Then a predator could easyly kill him of. I mean if you can travel between solar systems you defenetly can make a super charged electro magnet and then cut of his head while he can't move...Then again even though the new movie doesn't show as much i'd like to think that they are more fair players than not. Sure they use invisiblity shield when are out numbered but i think a true predator would even accept death in order to have a fair battle with a warrior like Wolverine, so perhaps he wouldn't want to exploit this weakness...I hear that The Spoony One (if anyone heard of him) is going to make a mock of show of Deadliest Warrior where he matches fictional characters. I guess we could ask him to make an episode like this (though it would probably take much time to do so).
Lets see here...Wolverine has a very very long life span, his whole skeleton is made up of an indestructible skeleton, he has 11 inch adamantium claws and he doesn't need to hide from his enemies under some cloak. As for Predator, He can killed by human weaponry, he is not indestructible, his claws are fake and can be broken and he hides from his enemies when there are too many of them. SO IN CONCLUSION, there is no competetion, its Wolverine for the win! (P.S. Wolverine has better movies than Predator)

The holiday week's food festivities continue with Saturday's Coke Zero 400 NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway. I think cola cuisine is the best tailgate theme for the 2013 stock-car race. Call it pop culture or perhaps pop cuisine, but cooking with soft drinks is a time-honored tradition of home cooks. The beverages substitute for sweet syrups in sauces, cakes and more. Today at my blog, OrlandoSentinel.com/the dish, you will find recipes for a swell spread including Coca-Cola Cake (pictured). All colas can be used in these recipes. I especially like the flavor root beer adds to baked beans and barbecue glazes. But before the drivers start their engines, let's dish:
Calling all makers of Southern specialties. Garden & Gun magazine's "Made in the South Awards" is looking for Southern artisans and entrepreneurs looking to tell the story of his or her brand.
Businesses must be based in the South and fall under one of the following five categories: Food, Drink, Style & Design, Outdoors, and Home. For drink, think artisanal distilled spirits. For food, think pickled okra or beans, relishes, barbecue sauces, cheese straws, benne wafers and more.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
A panel from the magazine will judge and select five winning entries in each category for publication in the December /January issue.
The official call for entries ends Aug. 1. Entry forms and more details are at gardenandgun.com/madeinthesouth. The first-round judging will be based on photos and entry forms. Any Southern artisan or business with a product that will be available through January can apply.
Shopping alert. Heart of Christmas Farms will host a producer-only farm market from noon-4 p.m. July 14 at its East Orange County hydroponic farm.
Vendors include Crispy Farms (chicken, jams, breads), Baked from Scratch (baked goods, including gluten free), Lineage Brewers (fair trade coffee), Chews Naturally (dog treats and toys) and more. Heart of Christmas is at 21310 Fort Christmas Road in Christmas; call 407-512-2004 for details.
Good read. "Fifty Shades of Kale" by Drew Ramsey and veteran cookbook author Jennifer Iserloh is a fun cookbook with 50 decadent recipes.
Published by HarperWave, the book takes a wry approach to the health benefits of kale. From breakfast to cocktails — yes, cocktails — there are delicious twists on the green theme. My favorite recipes include Kaleonnaise, Thai'd Up Roughage and Kale Chicken Enchiladas. Also, there's information on how to make kale chips.
What's in season. As the heat cranks up Florida harvests and catches wane a bit.
In the produce bins, look for Florida avocado, specialty bananas, carambola, guava, longans, lychees, mango, mushrooms, passion fruit, peanuts and watermelon.
At the seafood counter, Florida finds include alligator, blue crab, clams, flounder, oysters, snapper, shrimp, tilapia, tilefish, and yellow-fin tuna.

Your backyard is as local as you can get for food. Thousands of people around the country have started growing organic produce in their yards, and some have even taken it a step further and started raising chickens for fresh eggs. "You'll know what the chickens ate and how they lived. As with a backyard vegetable garden, backyard chickens give you some measure of self-sufficiency," explains Christine Heinrichs, author of How to Raise Chickens: Everything You Need to Know (Voyageur Press, 2007).
About three hens will provide a family of four with plenty of eggs, but before you start salivating over the thought of fresh, Sunday-morning scrambled eggs, it's important to understand what raising backyard chickens entails. And if you don't find your lifestyle friendly to home-raising poultry, don't feel bad. You can do the next best thing and buy your eggs from local small-flock poultry farmers who let their chickens live more natural lives outside (compared to filthy, factory-farm cage conditions). You can even join organizations like the Society for Preservation of Poultry Antiquities or the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy to support the cause. "Everyone doesn't need to keep their own chickens, but by supporting each other, we can create stronger local food networks that will serve all of us better," says Heinrichs.

Sonic Screwdriver
by Chris Hardwick on February 20, 2010
Yeah, I'm pretty much nerding out over Doctor Who. I'm two eps into Season 3 and I'm angry that it took me this long to discover my new favorite show but thrilled that I get to have the experience. I mean, a show that, in one episode, goes back to meet Shakespeare, references the time travel laws of Back to the Future and then casts "Expelliarmus" at an alien witch??!!! Come the f*ck on! GET OUT OF MY HEAD, THE DOCTOR!
Ya, I just recently found doctor who about 3 weeks ago, its is by far my favorite season.
My boyfriend's gonna leave me for you if you keep posting opinions like this.
Torchwood is also great, as is Primeval and SKINS. It's kind of sad for the USA that I am finding all these great shows on the BBC
Doctor Who is the greatest TV show in the history of mankind. Once you get through the new Who make sure to check out the old stuff. You should dig the hell out of Tom Baker and Sylvester McCoy – they are amazing!
"My vision is impaired, I cannot see!"
Doctor Who is the best show of all time. It's going to start on 3rd of April. Great news for us.
@M_Pony/@Wednesday Burns-White
Now that you mention it: The perfectly spiked hair, the tight fitting clothing, the snazzy shoes, the snarky comments. Oh god, he's like David Tennant incarnate. <3
It's such a guilty indulgence, right? Once you embrace the low budget cheesiness its awesome.
Best!!! Tennant is so perfect as the doctor.
YESSSS! Ok, that pic is supremely excellent.
I adore the new Doctor Who seasons, although the longer it goes on the more episodes just rip my heart out. Seriously, I may never have cried this much at a TV show.
One of my favorite of the earlier episodes is the WWII ep – The Doctor Dances – with the kid in the gas mask running around going ARE YOU MY MUMMY?? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that scared the snot out of me. Did I mention I'm a wuss?
Chris, if you like Season 3 you are going to absolutely flip out over Season 4. Before you get there though you should be aware that there are now several Doctor Who spin-off series including Torchwood (kind of an X-Files type show) and The Sarah Jane Adventures (a kids' show based around a former companion of the Doctor and her son). You may want to watch them first because there are some cameos coming up in the next season that would make more sense if you've seen at least a bit of the other series. It's probably not really a must, but if you're freaking out this hard about Who you are more than likely going to want to see what is going on in the rest of the Whovian Universe. Enjoy!
Two Words: Tom Baker. Amen.
LOVE the Dr. Must be my alltime Fav show… One just have to love those brits for their amazing comedy……
I discovered the Doctor through Simon Pegg. He was in an episode with the 9th Doctor Christopher Eccleston. The episode was alright but I was hooked. I bought a the master's sonic screwdriver then the doctor's sonic screwdriver.
British Media Track Staffer
The tenth doctor is the best. It gets better, and better until he knocks four times…
The third season was a little bit of a mixed bag. By the end of the season there were some over the top cartoony elements (with authentic cartoon sound effects!) that mixed badly with some real dark elements. And some bad special effects! But the show recovers, so that's okay I guess.
If ever I see you in person, I'm totally mugging you for your sonic screwdriver.
ok now i feel really cheezy. ive been watching Doctor Who for a while now and i have to say im in love. its the one show that has kept my attention for so long. so i (of coarse) figured, "i want to get online and see what kind of stuff they have…" so i did and one thing led to another and now i have a brand new very (so *&%$ stupid i cant believe i did this!) expensive sonic screwdriver… though i have to say this is the coolest thing ever! its an exact replica and is litterally EXACT to David Tennant's sonic. before he broke it…
It's funny you say that Chris, on Attack of the Show you were talking on gadget pron about a certain iphone dock and it was compatable with pandora but instead you said Pandorica! Coiencidnece? I think not!
How cool is that?

The Art Gallery of Ontario recently carried out a major restoration project on George Berthon's Portrait of William Henry Boulton (1846). This exhibition reveals the conservation process required to restore the painting and, in so doing, explores an aspect of museum work that is rarely made public.
Cleaning George Reid's "Landscape With Stream"
George Reid painted "Landscape With Stream" as a wall mural in 1911 for his studio in Toronto's Wychwood Park. When this painting came to the AGO, it was not only dirty but also very fragile. Read on to learn how it was repaired and conserved for future enjoyment.

Glossary of terms for the science of conservation

The Big Ten knew what it was getting by adding Penn State — a dominant football program. Same with Nebraska.
Now expansion is all about demographics, population shift, TV sets, inventory and subscriber fees.
Which are all fancy ways of saying money.
Asked about Maryland football, which is 6-17 since the 2011 season, Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said the league can't limit itself to adding pigskin powers like Penn State and Nebraska.
"If that's the litmus test," he said, "then there wouldn't be a lot of expansion around the country."
Here are more questions to examine …
Will the league stop at 14 after adding Rutgers?
At this point, the Big Ten might not stop before world domination. "In order to be relevant, competitive and to move forward in the 21st century," Delany said, "you need a 21st-century paradigm … It's not your father's Big Ten."
So who could be next? How about North Carolina, Delany's alma mater? What about Florida State? It's so-so academically and not a member of the Association of American Universities, as preferred by Big Ten honchos. Well, Nebraska lost its AAU status and Notre Dame, a previous Big Ten target, is not a member of the club.
As Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon put it: "10 was a good number; 12 was a good number; 14 will be a good number."
And if the fit is right, "maybe 16 would be the right number."
What's the problem with getting so large?
Rivalries die. Teams start playing each other infrequently. Schedules become inherently unfair.
Delany used to say Big Ten teams want to "play each other more, not less."
Now? "It's not the world you necessarily want," he said, "it's the world you live in."
Actually it's the world he is creating. Delany has pushed for a nine-game conference schedule in football, but athletic directors and coaches have pushed back.
How will adding Maryland and Rutgers make Big Ten schools richer?
More teams means more games, aka inventory. That helps BTN, which will try to land on expanded basic in the beefy New York/New Jersey (7.4 million TV households) and Washington D.C./Baltimore (3.4 million) markets. Philadelphia (3.0) also would be a nice add.
But outside of D.C./Baltimore, it will be an uphill fight. The Big Ten sparred with Comcast before the cable operator agreed to carry BTN. And that was in the football-mad Midwest.
Last week News Corp., the parent company of BTN partner Fox, purchased a minority stake in the YES Network, a New York-based sports channel that broadcasts Yankees and Nets games. So …
Delany called it a "pure, unadulterated coincidence" with the pending addition of Rutgers, which craves attention from New Yorkers.
The bottom line is that News Corp. could try to bundle BTN with YES to get BTN distributed in New York. BTN already contributes about $6 million a year to each Big Ten school, and analysts estimate that with Maryland and Rutgers, the Big Ten could see a $100 million-plus per year boost in subscriber fees.
The Big Ten's deal with ABC/ESPN, worth $100 million a year, goes through 2016-17.
Delany is more than a little excited to hit the negotiating table.
Speaking of money …
Yes, that is why Maryland said yes to leaving the ACC. Even if it has to cough up that $50 million exit fee, university President Wallace Loh said, "we have assured the (financial) future of Maryland athletics for decades to come."
What about Legends and Leaders?
Delany said that nothing has been determined. But ESPN reported that Loh told the school's board of regents that Maryland and Rutgers will be Leaders, pushing Illinois to the Legends Division.
Or maybe Big Ten officials will use this opportunity to call a mulligan and go with the revolutionary "East" and "West" for its divisions.

How about the Rockets' terrible offense down the stretch, nearly giving away the game? It's the basketball equivalent NFL's prevent defense. Why stop running your offense, which got you an 8-point lead, and settle for Harden dribbling out the clock before tossing up a long-range shot?
Three-Pointers: Rockets extend series as Thunder attack stalls late
The Rockets defeated the Thunder 105-103 to take Game 4 in Houston on Monday night. The series returns to Oklahoma City on Wednesday night with the Thunder leading 3-1.
• More choppy offense from the Russell Westbrook-less Thunder. The inconsistent production that marked Oklahoma City's attack in Game 3 was back in Game 4, with the Thunder again taking control of the contest with a solid first half only to have things sputter down the stretch. While they managed to escape in Game 3 without Russell Westbrook thanks to 41 points from Kevin Durant, their luck changed on Monday, as Houston loaded up on Durant, denying him the ball whenever possible and hard-doubling him often when he succeeded in getting open.
Durant remained his lethal, super-efficient self, finishing with a game-high 38 points (on just 16 shots!), eight rebounds and six assists, but he committed seven turnovers and had no choice but to pass the ball on several key possessions late, making the right basketball decision but turning the game's fate over teammates who weren't able to deliver.
"They do some crazy things on defense," Durant said afterwards. "They run two guys at you, don't care about the other guys on the floor sometimes, but I trust my teammates, I know they're going to come through. … If they keep doing that, we have to keep passing the ball and trusting each other, hopefully we'll make some shots."
The main culprits from Game 3 were again guilty of not pulling their weight in Game 4: Kevin Martin finished with 16 points but had just two in the second half while struggling with turnovers and Thabo Sefolosha was a non-factor. Without one or both of that pair knocking down shots to keep opposing defenses honest, the Thunder grind down into some sloppy basketball that puts Durant in a position where he must go one-on-five. Let's be clear, there are moments, even late in the game, where that's not an impossibility. Take this sensational down-the-lane dunk with 1:13 remaining, the last two points that Oklahoma City would score, for instance.
That play followed a Durant three-pointer, which kept the Thunder's hopes alive, and put Oklahoma City in position to force overtime had Serge Ibaka been able to convert a last-second, point-blank lay-up. It was the three minutes that preceded Durant's heroics where the Thunder looked particularly mortal. After hitting a three-pointer with just less than five minutes remaining, Reggie Jackson, Westbrook's stand-in, missed back-to-back three-pointers. They were open looks by design, as the Rockets gifted Jackson, a 23.1 percent three-point shooter on the year, the opportunities. He couldn't resist and he also couldn't find the net. On the next possession, the ball swung to Derek Fisher, the one Thunder perimeter player besides Durant who had it going, but his three-pointer was wiped off by a shot clock violation. Those three plays, plus a Durant charge, made for a three-minute dry spell in which the Rockets ran off a 5-0 run.
The issue wasn't Jackson's misses, or even his willingness to take the threes, but rather the Thunder finding themselves in dire need of Westbrook's ability to force the opposing team's defense to play on its heels with his ability to get into the paint and get to the foul line. On the whole, Jackson performed admirably, scoring 18 points and dishing three assists, but he isn't the commanding presence that can get to the line when things are going south like Westbrook. Oklahoma City has compensated by turning over the "need some points" duties to Durant, who got to the line 15 times. It's still an effective approach with one All-Star rather than two, but meaningfully less so.
To be clear, this wasn't a case of a single late-game drought coming at the wrong time. Oklahoma City started the third slowly and had a fairly rough stretch early in the fourth too. Against Houston, Oklahoma City can make up for this scoring inconsistency through Durant's sheer talent and will, but they are headed for tougher, deeper defenses in the Clippers (or Grizzlies) and Spurs, and that will spell problems.
• Chandler Parsons steps up. Chandler Parsons, Houston's pre-series X-factor, scored a team-high 27 points and nearly finished with a triple-double (10 rebounds and eight assists). This was a balanced Rockets attack that finally got its outside shooting going — five Rockets finished in double-figures and three Rockets hit at least three three-pointers — but Parsons stood out. Known primarily as a shooter, the 2011 second-round pick did serious work in the paint, too, which was a must-have given James Harden's relative ineffectiveness.
The Rockets' All-Star guard finished with just 15 points, three assists and 10 turnovers, shooting four-for-12 from the field and spending key portions of the fourth quarter on the sideline due to foul trouble. In that hole, Parsons was able to score five of Houston's final seven points, just enough to hold off the Thunder and stave off elimination.
"The pain and frustration from those last two losses, we didn't want our season to end," Parsons said, explaining his thought process down the stretch.
Despite topping 30 points twice, Harden hasn't had a great game yet in this series, at least by his standards. His 0-for-4 shooting from deep on Monday dropped him to four-for-25 (16 percent) on the series, an abominable number. He hit rock bottom late in this game, settling for and missing three straight jumpers as Durant and the Thunder mounted their late rally.
"Those are good shots, I was just cold," Harden said, blaming his time on the bench because of the foul trouble. "Freezing."
• Parsons leaves Rockets fan hanging.
The images of Ibaka crumbling on the floor after missing his point-blank attempt to tie the game won't soon be forgotten, as he wore his disbelief like a suit. This hilarious GIF from moments after Ibaka's agony resides on a different end of the emotional spectrum. As the Rockets celebrated their victory, Parsons happened to leave a courtside fan hanging on a fist bump before turning to fix his hair. Funny stuff. On Monday, Parsons' stat line was LeBron James-esque; It only makes sense that he would follow in King James' footsteps here.

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

Orioles not shocked by fast start, even if most of baseball is
Story Highlights
The Orioles haven't had a winning season since 1997 but are 4-0
Young pitchers like Jake Arrieta and Zach Britton have fueled the hot start
Buck Showalter has enhanced his reputation as a great turn-around manager
The Orioles were almost everyone's last-place pick in easily baseball's toughest division, yet entering play on Wednesday they are one of only three unbeaten teams in baseball, along with the Rangers and Reds, and sit atop the American League East. Which means there is already a lot of re-evaluation happening by baseball scouts, writers and competing executives.
The O's themselves aren't quite as shocked to be 4-0. Their young pitchers helped them to the American League's second-best record (behind only the Twins) after August 3 last year, and they give them hope again this year -- even if almost no one else saw it that way.
"They're not a flash in the pan,'' Orioles president Andy MacPhail said by phone in answer to a question about whether Baltimore can contend with all its inexperienced pitchers. "If our starting pitchers pitch the way they did the last two months and the first four games, of course we'll be a contender.''
That's a big "if,'' of course, considering the Orioles are employing four pitchers 25 or younger in their rotation: Jake Arrieta, 25; Brian Matusz, currently on the shelf with an intercostal strain, 24; Zach Britton, 23; and Chris Tillman, 22.
It isn't just MacPhail and manager Buck Showalter who are starting to believe those starters are nearly ready to shoulder that burden of leading the O's into the playoff hunt. One National League scout said he believes Britton is even better than the Yankees' ballyhooed wunderkind Manuel Banuelos, who at only 20 generally earned the biggest raves in spring and may make it to the bigs this year. Another scout rated lefthanders Britton and Matusz as potential top-of-the-rotation starters while suggesting that power arms Arrieta and Tillman were likely to settle in as middle-of-the-rotation guys, Tillman's six innings of no-hit pitching against the perennial upstart Rays in his seasonal debut notwithstanding.
Matusz, with 40 career starts, has the most experience of the quartet and has been considered a future star. Arrieta, according to one scout, has "all the pitches'' but needs to be a bit more consistent with his location. Tillman has a nice repertoire but a scout worried that his over-the-top style can make his fastball straight. Britton has a deadly late-action sinker, especially if he can learn to take another 3-to-4 mph off his changeup. They should all benefit under the guidance of veteran pitching coach Mark Connor, long Showalter's right-hand man, and bullpen coach Rick Adair, himself a successful former pitching coach with the Mariners.
"Britton might end up being better than Matusz,'' another scout said, echoing praise that was heard throughout Florida about the young lefthander who had a great spring before being optioned to Triple-A before but then summoned to the majors after Matusz's injury came to light (Matusz is expected to be out at least three weeks). The Orioles originally sent Britton out in part to set back his free-agent eligibility, but had to promote him when Matusz joined the perpetually injured veteran Justin Duchscherer among starting pitchers in sick bay. "He should be pretty good,'' MacPhail said of Britton.
The whole team might be better than most of us thought. Part of the under-rating of the O's was due to the fact that they haven't had a winning record since 1997, while some of it was caused by a so-so spring when they were ravaged by injury. Only twice this spring did Showalter have his full complement of everyday players at his disposal, so the team didn't show its true potential. The spring absences of Brian Roberts, who missed time with a back problem but already has two home runs in the regular season, may have camouflaged Baltimore's abilities. While their lineup isn't as star-studded as those of the Yankees or Red Sox, the winter moves to acquire three other infielders to go with Roberts -- veteran first baseman Derrek Lee, who was also hurt much of spring, plus shortstop J.J. Hardy and third baseman Mark Reynolds -- should help.
The most vital move, though, has been the hiring of Showalter, a take-no-guff veteran whose arrival late last summer coincided with as stark a turnaround as possible. The Orioles had baseball's worst record when he took over and its third-best record afterward. "I don't think there's any question things changed the moment (Showalter) walked through the door,'' MacPhail said.
Showalter was known to be extremely talented but his hiring was seen as a bit of a gamble after a couple bad breakups. One competing executive, who called it a "high risk, high reward hire,'' praised the move, saying only Showalter or Bobby Valentine would have been right for an organization in need of an overhaul. Showalter espoused a complete change in the way things were done in his characteristically gutsy interview, and oft-criticized hands-on owner Peter Angelos and MacPhail should be credited for taking the needed chance. Some see the buttoned-down MacPhail and Showalter, who has shown some Machiavellian tendencies in the past, as baseball's oddest couple, but it's proving to be a perfect match. "We needed a guy who would be all in,'' MacPhail said. "He's a 24-7 guy.''
They also needed someone who'd make the players take notice. "The credibility level is a little bit different,'' MacPhail said. Showalter is the right fit for a young and talented clubhouse that needed a push. Angelos is said to have wanted Showalter, who spent time as an ESPN analyst, after watching him on TV, but MacPhail disputed the perception that Angelos needed to nudge him away from another candidate, Eric Wedge, and toward Showalter. MacPhail said that both he and Angelos concluded they needed someone with experience and credibility. MacPhail's top list of Showalter, Wedge and Bobby Valentine became two after Valentine withdrew, and while MacPhail admired the solid Wedge, the two Orioles decision-makers ultimately concluded that Wedge just didn't have the "larger than life persona Buck has.''
That persona has grown since turning around the Orioles, and it will continue to grow if Showalter can somehow keep Baltimore anything close to a threat in the American League East.

Sunproof Products1 of 12
By Emily Hebert for ELLE
When it comes to fighting wrinkles, sunscreen is the most potent weapon. The problem: According to a new survey by the American Academy of Dermatology, only one in seven Americans wear sunscreen daily. Yes, despite its ability to deflect harmful UV rays, the topical shield has a reputation for being oily and unpleasantly fragrant. There are, however, sunscreen-packed products that shatter the stereotype. Here, face-savers that make applying SPF so easy, you won't think twice.
Balms Away2 of 12
BB creams are now commonplace in the U.S., but Dr. Jart+ was the first brand to bring them stateside. A year since premiering its beloved Water Fuse Beauty Balm SPF 25 and Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45 at Sephora, Dr. Jart+ is launching another pair of SPF formulas: Renewalist Beauty Balm SPF 40 and Black Label Detox Beauty Balm SPF 25. While the Renewalist BB cream contains plant extracts and essential oils to even and brighten skin tone, the Black Label Detox aims to lift and tighten with collagen and adenosine.
Face the Sun3 of 12
Kiehl's new Activated Sun Protector Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 might be labeled for body use, but it's actually great for the face too. According to the company, the oil-free, paraben-free sun block is non-comedogenic and won't clog pores; it also has anti-aging goji berry, vitamin E, and einkorn wheat.
Two for One4 of 12
Olay Total Effects Tone Correcting UV Moisturizer landed in stores this spring and promises to even skin tone with its tinted, niacinamide-packed formula. (Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, reduces redness and improves elasticity.)

Soy Joy7 of 12

Couture Color8 of 12
Go for a glow—and a bit of SPF too—with Yves Saint Laurent's Terre Saharienne Bronzing Powder Collector's Edition in Sunkissed. You'll blush beautifully with its light-diffusing pigments and SPF 12.
Multitasking Makeup9 of 12
Maybelline recently joined the BB cream ranks with its Dream Fresh 8-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector. The "8-in-1" refers to its benefits—not its ingredients—but that said, the benefits are pretty great. With SPF 30 and no distinguishable scent (score!) the liquid moisturizes and absorbs quickly, leaving skin smoother looking in seconds.
Sun and Scent10 of 12
Laszlo Blue Firmarine SPF 30 has a smell—but it's the most refreshing, addictive smell ever. Reminiscent of a light sea breeze, we actually enjoy applying it to our face. Which is a good thing, because besides sun protection, it's also packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Fan Favorite11 of 12
Esthetician Renée Rouleau has a cult following, and it's no secret why: her skin care line works wonders. Her Daily Protection SPF 30 is a must-have for sensitive, blemish-prone skin because it's non-greasy and contains soothing green tea and licorice extract.

Price: $3965
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
My experience with your company's service was excellent -- the statue actually arrived a day earlier than promised. The Buddha itself looks perfectly at home in my garden, as I hoped it would. The details in the face and clothing are exceptional and the patina is just right. I love it!Reviewer:John Bancroft (BRADENTON, FL, US)
We had a wonderful experience purchasing a stone Buddha from Kyle. He was very responsive to our initial questions and then allowed us "quiet time" to think through what we wanted. Kyle found the best shipping price for us and our 33" garden Buddha arrived packed meticulously. It looks beautiful on top of a small waterfall over our pool. I have promised Kyle a photograph once our spring foliage is out. In addition to our purchase, we enjoyed reading about Kyle's travels and life journey on his website. Clearly, bringing these statues to our individual homes is more than just a business for him- it is like sharing something that is important to him. If we ever decide to purchase another statue it will definitely be through Lotus Sculpture. Thanks so much!Reviewer:Aliya Khan (Dallas, TX, US)
Arrived on time and it is even more perfect in person! I absolutely love it. I will definitely be getting more soon.Reviewer:Nikki Castillo (Burton, MI, US)
Wonderful transaction, received Statue very promptly and expertly packagedReviewer:Mathew Davis (Shreveport, Louisiana, US)
Totally Beautiful. Perfect. LOVE THEM! THANK YOU!Reviewer:Kristina Love (Dunwoody, GA, US)
I was looking for a Ganesha murti that would suit the entrance to the new studio I and my beloved have created in Kyoto From my initial inquiry to the day of delivery, the service from Lotus Sculpture was stellar. Kyle answered my questions promptly, gave me two shipping options, and shipped the sculpture out the day I confirmed the order. I received the statue in only 5 days. It was packed with care, and very easy to unpack. The packing Lotus Sculpture used was molded to the sculptures form, which I felt showed additional care and respect for the murti. Once Ganesha was unpacked and stood up, I took some time to examine the artistry of the statue. It is actually even more gorgeous than it appeared in the photo. In fact, my beloved, who is not as passionate about the murtis as I, also remarked that he was quite handsome! It is a true work of art and devotion. I am extremely content with this purchase. If you are in need of a quality murti from a reliable dealer who exhibits a love for the statues they sell, I believe your expectations will be exceeded by Lotus Sculpture. Namaste.Reviewer:Mark Shveima (Kyoto-shi, Kyoto, JP)
A great small statue at great valueReviewer:olav aarts (Amsterdam, North Holland, NL)
Dear Kyle, I have a bit of experience with Antique Asian Spiritual Art as my teacher, Rudi, was a dealer in it in NYC in the 60's and early 70's. Then in the 80's and 90's with Stuart Perrin also. I had a modest collection for a long time. After living in Shree Gurudev Rudrananda Yoga Ashram in Big Indian, NY in the early 1970's, there were many quality antique pieces there. Very fortunate to have been around this art, huge buddhas, great large Tibetian and Indian bronzes and Thankas, etc. I am very pleased and satisfied with the beautifully carved and finished 3' wood Ganesh recently purchased. The value was spectacular, and he makes a welcome addition to our meditation hall. Thank you Lotus Sculpture for making affordable quality pieces accessable to all. Warmly, Michele Galante, MDReviewer:Michele Galante, MD (Suffern, New York, US)
I am absolutely delighted with the statues I had ordered - thet are beautifully crafted! Not only were the statues beautiful, the service was excellent. My query was answered promptly and I will definitely be buying from lotus sculpture in futureReviewer:Shamala (Singapore, Singapore, SG)
- Materials: Lost Wax Method South Indian Bronze
- Total Height Including Base: 38 inches
- Widest Point: 24 inches
- Base Width & Depth: 13 x 13 inches
- Weight: 115 pounds
- Notice his clothing intricately draped
- Fine hand-carved details
- Effortlessly playing the flute
- Wonderful piece for any home
This statue depicts the synthesis of both Krishna and Vishnu into one form. Venugopal has 6 arms two of which play the flute. The flute is an attribute mainly associated with Krishna. Venugopal's other four hands hold two lotus flowers, a discus and a conch two symbols associated with Vishnu. The conch represents "Om", the first sound of creation and also the beginning of matter, since sound and matter are consider to be synonymous. The discus is thought to represent the sun. Vishnu, like Shiva, was originally a minor deity with only five out to 1,028 hymns in the Rig Veda addressed to him. He seems to have been derived from a solar deity. The discus is a vestige of his solar origins.
About Krishna
One of the most widely revered and most popular of all Indian divinities, is Krishna worshipped as the eighth incarnation (avatar) of Vishnu. Krishna became the focus of a large number of devotional cults, which over the centuries have produced a wealth of religious poetry, music, painting and sculpture.
The child Krishna was adored for his mischievous pranks; he also performed many miracles and slew demons. As a youth, the cowherd Krishna became renown as a lover, the sound of his flute prompting gopis (wives and daughters of the cowherds) to leave their homes to dance ecstatically with him in the forests. His favorite among them was the beautiful Radha. Krishna's youthful dalliances with the gopis are interpreted as symbolic of the loving interplay between God and the human soul. Krishna affirms life in his pranks, music and lovemaking.
The rich variety of legends associated with Krishna's life led to an abundance of representation in painting and sculpture. The most reknown story surrounding Krishna is the Bahgavad Gita or Gita which is considered one of the most importatnt Hindu texts. The Gita is the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. Krishna is explaining to Arjuna that it is Arjuna's moral obligation to fight in a war that will put him against some members of his family. Krishna like Vishnu is an upholder of the moral order of the universe.
Bronze is an extremely durable metal made from a combination of 5 metals; copper, iron, tin, with minute additions of silver and gold. This combination is called Panchaloha bronze and is the basis for making the sacred Hindu temple statues of India and the world. Copper is the most prevalent metal in the alloy. Copper also gives the metal a softer composition that allows the bronze artisans to carve the details that are prevalent in each piece. All the South Indian bronze sculpture Lotus Sculpture carries are Panchaloham and thus suited for any home altar or community temple.
Because of the durability of the metal not much is needed to maintain a bronze sculpture. Many of our customers purchase a bronze statue and perform daily puja and abhisheka consisting of bathing the Hindu deity in ghee, milk, coconut milk or other liquids. In this case nothing is needed to keep the statue clean as it will be bathed daily. If the sculpture is used for "darshan" or simply viewing the sculpture it is best to dust the statue as needed so no dirt collects in the details of the sculpture. For both polished golden bronzes and antique patina bronze statues if you would like the sculpture to shine use a cotton cloth with some coconut oil or other natural oil to wipe down the piece as needed.
Many of our bronze Hindu statues have been placed in outdoor temples. Bronze's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine. Both indoors and outdoors a bronze statue can be left alone which, overtime, will give the bronze an antique patina.
On some bronze statues you can see small hints of lime green, verde-gris patina. Some people prize this color for its age others want to remove it. If you would like to remove the verde-gris use a tooth brush with some coconut oil or other natural oil and lightly go over the verde-gris. This should remove the unwanted patina from the sculpture.
If you have any questions concerning your bronze statue please email us at email@example.com or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

The semis saw an increase in the surf and many of the usual suspects were charging toward the final while other BWWT newcomers battled for the remaining slots. The standouts of the round were Gabriel Villaran, Jamie Sterling, Greg Long, Ben Wilkinson, Joao De Macedo, and Aaron Ungerleider. The final started at 4:15 pm with only 1 and 1/2 hours sunlight remaining. The final saw the largest and most critical waves of the day. Jamie Sterling stepped it up and collected two excellent scores, a 9 (best wave doubled) and 8.5 to receive a total of 26.5 out of 30. "I'm stoked to have won. I love the wave… That's why I'm here. To surf against world-class surfers at a world-class wave is just icing on the cake." Said Jamie Sterling.© 2014 Brian Overfelt

Measure 5 Spending Tops $1 MillionThe Humane Society of the United States and its legislative fund have contributed more than $675,000 to the campaign supporting passage of Measure 5 on the North Dakota general election ballot.
By: Chuck Haga, Grand Forks Herald
The Humane Society of the United States and its legislative fund have contributed more than $675,000 to the campaign supporting passage of Measure 5 on the North Dakota general election ballot.
According to campaign finance reports filed with the North Dakota Secretary of State's office and posted on the office's website today, the Humane Society of the United States contributed $135,964.84 on Oct. 15 to North Dakotans to Stop Animal Cruelty.
A separate filing by the Humane Society Legislative Fund in Washington, D.C., reported a contribution of $540,416 the same day.
North Dakotans to Stop Animal Cruelty also reported receiving $100,918 on Sept. 25 from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The campaign to add a felony penalty to North Dakota law for malicious abuse of a dog, cat or horse reported total contributions of $837,145.
On the other side, North Dakota Animal Stewards reported on Oct. 25 contributions of just under $135,000 to fight Measure 5, including $30,000 from the North Dakota Corn Growers Association, $20,000 each from the state Farmers Union and North Dakota Pork Producers, and $17,395 from the North Dakota Stockman's Association.
Protect the Harvest, another group organized to oppose Measure 5, reported a direct expenditure of $266,029.50 on the campaign.
The total campaign financing reported by all camps in the fight over Measure 5 easily exceeds $1 million, and is reflected in heavy campaign advertising on the measure in recent days.
"That is a lot of money to come into the state, a lot more than we've seen in past elections for something like this," Secretary of State Al Jaeger said.
A Forum Communications poll conducted in mid-October showed Measure 5 advocates holding a significant lead, 55 percent to 39 percent. More recent polls have suggested a much tighter race, however.
Ellie Hayes, campaign coordinator for the pro-Measure 5 group, blamed the shift on "heavy spending" and "misleading advertising" by the opposition groups.
North Dakotans to Stop Animal Cruelty placed full-page ads in the Herald, Forum and other North Dakota daily newspapers today, seeking to refute arguments advanced by the opponents.
"Measure 5 has nothing to do with agriculture or hunting," according to the ad, and while it creates tougher penalties for some extreme acts of cruelty it "does not nullify any provisions of North Dakota's anti-cruelty laws."
Opponents argued in full-page newspaper ads on Sunday that Measure 5 is too narrowly drawn, covering only dogs, cats and horses; doesn't address the most common sorts of abuse, such as starvation and abandonment, and would lessen chances for more comprehensive animal protection legislation in the 2013 Legislature.
Measure 5 supporters say they mounted their initiated measure petition drive because the Legislature has failed to act to strengthen the state's anti-cruelty laws over several sessions.
Opponents have criticized the involvement of the Humane Society of the United States, describing it as a radical animal rights organization with an anti-hunting, anti-animal agriculture agenda.

I wish him luck but think this is a big mistake
Syracuse's Michael Carter-Williams declares for NBA draft
Syracuse sophomore guard Michael Carter-Williams declared for the NBA draft on Wednesday.
"Michael has informed me of his intention to enter the NBA draft," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said in a prepared statement. "He's coming off a tremendous season and we appreciate all he's done for Syracuse basketball. We wish Michael the best of luck as he pursues a pro career."
SI.com's Chris Mannix had Carter-Williams ranked 11th on his most recent Big Board, in mid-March, before the start of the NCAA tournament.
Carter-Williams' assist numbers have dipped recently — he hasn't had more than six in his last five games and has had just one double-digit dime night since early January — but his size and natural playmaking instincts draw comparisons to a healthy Shaun Livingston, convincing GMs that he can be an NBA starter. "You can polish his jump shot and work on his handle," an Eastern Conference assistant GM said. "But the way he sees the floor and the way he can create in transition are rare.
Carter-Williams, 21, averaged 11.9 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.9 rebounds for the Orange, who lost to Michigan in the Final Four. Carter-Williams shot 39.3 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from three-point range, earning second-team All-Big East honors.
A native of Massachusetts who played high school basketball in Rhode Island, Carter-Williams is listed at 6-foot-6 and 185 pounds. The Sporting News reported that his family's Massachusetts home burned to the ground while he was competing in the NCAA tournament and that Carter-Williams did his best to play through the emotions during the fire's aftermath.
"After the first couple of days, I really didn't want to talk about it, didn't want to say too much about it," Carter-Williams said Friday, six days after the fire that took place while he played against California in San Jose with his mother and sister in the stands. "But I just got comfortable with it. The situation is what it is. Everyone knows about it. I just don't want it to be mistaken – I got asked a couple of questions about whether that was the reason why you played well (against Indiana). I don't think it was the reason why. It happened, I just wanted to go out there and play my best for my team and my teammates."
Carter-Williams ranks No. 12 on DraftExpress.com's top 100 and No. 9 on Chad Ford's top 100 at ESPN Insider.
