During non-conference play, the 12 teams in the league went out and backed that up.
"I think (the Pac-12) is in a much better position than it was at this time last year," said Ernie Kent, the former head coach at Oregon and currently an analyst for the Pac-12 Network. "With the RPI being strong, the conference overall has done a good job of managing the November and December schedule."
As of Tuesday, RealtimeRPI.com had the Pac-12 fourth among Division I conferences -- behind the Big 12, Big Ten and Big East.Three Pac-12 teams (No. 1 Arizona, No. 10 Oregon and No. 20 Colorado) are ranked among the Associated Press Top 25 this week, and UCLA has been receiving votes most of the years. Eight of the 12 teams were among the top 65 in the Sagarin power ratings this week.
Kent said that having the No. 1 team in the country is a big deal for the Pac-12 because "you've got the focus back out on the West." It certainly helped the Pac-12's reputation when Stanford went on the road to beat then-No. 10 Connecticut.
A year ago, the Pac-12 made a big leap forward by sending five teams to the NCAA Tournament. The conference might be strong enough to top that number this year.
"As long as the right schools beat each other up, they come out of conference play in good shape, with potentially five teams, I think," Kent said, "and maybe depending on who that team is ... there could be a sixth or seventh team sitting there."
Conference play gets underway on Thursday night, with 10 of the 12 teams in action. Like Kent, Colorado head coach Tad Boyle believes the conference has been every bit as good as advertised, which suggests a fun couple of months ahead.
"You look at the standings and you see Stanford in the middle of the pack; they're as talented a team as anybody in the league," Boyle said. "The way you judge a league is not necessarily at the top of it. Every league's got good teams and good players at the top of it. It's the middle of the pack and the lower end."
So far, the conference has been strong from top to bottom, and Boyle believes that will continue.
"The league is really good," he said.
Here is a team-by-team look at the Pac-12 heading into the start of conference play:
Arizona Wildcats (13-0)
National rankings: No. 1 (AP and USA Today Coaches)
Head coach: Sean Miller, fifth season (109-43; 229-90 career)
Key players: F Brandon Ashley, 6-8, So. (12.5 ppg, 54.4% FG, 7.0 rpg); F Aaron Gordon, 6-8, Fr. (12.5 ppg, 7.6 rpg, 1.2 bpg); F Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, 6-7, Fr. (8.9 ppg, 5.3 rpg); G Nick Johnson, 6-3, Jr. (16.0 ppg, 83.3% FT, 3.7 rpg, 2.5 apg); G T.J. McConnell, 6-1, Jr. (6.5 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 6.5 apg); C Kaleb Tarczewski, 7-0, So. (10.1 ppg, 58.6% FG, 6.7 rpg, 1.3 bpg)
Dates with CU: Jan. 23 (in Tucson), Feb. 22 (in Boulder)
About the Wildcats: Considered a national title contender from the start of the year, the Wildcats have not disappointed so far. They've passed three big tests -- at San Diego State (currently No. 21), against Duke (No. 7) and at Michigan -- while blowing away several other teams. They are loaded with talent and do just about everything well. They ranked second nationally in rebounding margin (plus-13.5) and have the No. 1 scoring defense in the conference.
Arizona State
Sun Devils (11-2)
Head coach: Herb Sendek, eighth season (131-111; 385-269 career)
Key players: C Jordan Bachynski, 7-2, Sr. (12.5 ppg, 60.7% FG, 9.8 rpg, 4.8 bpg); G Jahii Carson, 5-10, So. (19.3 ppg, 51.4% 3-pt, 5.4 apg); G Jermaine Marshall, 6-4, Sr. (15.5 ppg)
Dates with CU: Jan. 25 (in Tempe), Feb. 19 (in Boulder)
About the Sun Devils: For the second year in a row, the Sun Devils won 11 non-conference games. They're hoping for better than the 9-9 conference record they posted last year, though. Carson is one of the nation's elite point guards and Bachynski leads the nation in blocks. At times, ASU has looked like an NCAA Tournament team, but got crushed in its only big test of the season thus far, losing 88-60 to Creighton.
Golden Bears (9-4)
Head coach: Mike Montgomery, sixth season (118-63; 665-307 career)
Key players: G Jabari Bird, 6-6, Fr. (11.3 ppg, 3.2 rpg); G Justin Cobbs, 6-3, Sr. (14.2 ppg, 6.0 apg); F David Kravish, 6-9, Jr. (11.9 ppg, 8.2 rpg); F Richard Solomon, 6-10, Sr. (11.3 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 55.8% FG); G Tyrone Wallace, 6-4, So. (10.6 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 3.2 apg)
Date with CU: March 8 (in Berkeley)
About the Golden Bears: Despite having four starters back from an NCAA Tournament team, the Bears have struggled of late. After a 5-0 start, Cal is 4-4 in its last eight games. They have struggled offensively at times, but have been solid on defense. Cal has also been very good at home, going 8-0 in Berkeley.
Colorado Buffaloes (11-2)
National rankings: No. 20 (AP), No. 24 (USA Today Coaches)
Head coach: Tad Boyle, fourth season (80-40; 136-106 career)
Key players: G Askia Booker, 6-1, Jr. (12.6 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 2.0 apg); G Spencer Dinwiddie, 6-6, Jr. (15.8 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 3.8 apg); F Wesley Gordon, 6-8, Fr. (7.3 ppg, 6.3 rpg); F Xavier Johnson, 6-6, So. (9.6 ppg, 5.8 rpg); F Josh Scott, 6-10, So. (13.1 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 54.8% FG)
About the Buffaloes: So far, the Buffs have defeated everybody they were supposed to beat, while picking up a big win against perennial power Kansas. The Buffs have played very well offensively most of the season and they've been great on the boards, with a plus-10.5 margin that ranks 10th nationally. The main concern going into conference play is an inconsistent defense.
Oregon Ducks (12-0)
National rankings: No. 10 (AP), No. 9 (USA Today Coaches)
Head coach: Dana Altman, fourth season (85-47; 495-280 career)
Key players: G Jason Calliste, 6-2, Sr. (12.3 ppg, 2.2 rpg, 59.4% 3-pt); F Elgin Cook, 6-6, So. (9.4 ppg, 4.3 rpg); G Damyean Dotson, 6-5, So. (11.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg); G Johnathan Loyd, 5-8, Sr. (9.3 ppg, 6.7 apg); F Mike Moser, 6-8, Sr. (13.9 ppg, 7.4 rpg); G Joseph Young, 6-3, Jr. (20.2 ppg, 3.8 rpg, 54.8% FG).
Date with CU: Sunday (in Boulder)
About the Ducks: One of just seven undefeated teams in the country, the Ducks have been impressive to this point and will challenge Arizona for the title. They lead the country in scoring (90.8 points per game), while hitting 51.3 percent of their shots and 42.7 percent of their 3-pointers. So far, the Ducks have handled their schedule well, but they have yet to play any ranked teams.
Oregon State
Beavers (8-4)
Head coach: Craig Robinson, sixth season (86-93; 116-121 career)
Key players: C Angus Brandt, 6-10, Sr. (12.9 ppg, 4.6 rpg); F Devon Collier, 6-8, Sr. (18.0 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 1.7 bpg, 64.7% FG); G Roberto Nelson, 6-3, Sr. (21.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 4.1 apg)
Date with CU: Thursday (in Boulder)
About the Beavers: Nelson leads the Pac-12 in scoring and is the only player to earn player of the week honors twice this season. He and Collier have led a prolific offense. As a team, the Beavers have connected on 50.8 percent of their shots. Opponents hit 42.6 percent of their shots, including 37.1 percent from 3-point range. The Beavers also rank last in the Pac-12 in rebounding margin (minus-0.7).
Stanford Cardinal (9-3)
Head coach: Johnny Dawkins, sixth season (103-77)
Key players: G/F Anthony Brown, 6-6, Jr. (13.4 ppg, 5.6 rpg; 52.9 FG%); F Josh Huestis, 6-7, Sr. (11.5 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.4 bpg); F Dwight Powell, 6-10, Sr. (14.3 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 4.2 agp); G Chasson Randle, 6-1, Jr. (18.7 ppg, 3.3 rpg)
Date with CU: March 5 (in Stanford)
About the Cardinal: Although it has lost three times, Stanford proved it can be dangerous on Dec. 18 when it upset then-No. 10 Connecticut on the road. The Cardinal have not been great in any one area, but they have been solid in just about every area. Stanford was one of the most experienced teams in the conference coming into the season and so far that has shown. The Cardinal have the ability to creep into the upper part of the standings by season's end.
UCLA Bruins (11-2)
National rankings: RV (AP and USA Today Coaches)
Head coach: Steve Alford, first season (11-2; 473-236 career)
Key players: G Jordan Adams, 6-5, So. (18.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 3.3 spg); G Kyle Anderson, 6-9, So. (14.5 ppg, 8.7 rpg, 6.7 apg); G Zach LaVine, 6-5, Fr. (12.2 ppg, 2.6 rpg); F/C Tony Parker, 6-9, So. (7.8 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 62.0% FG); G Norman Powell, 6-4, Jr. (11.2 ppg, 2.9 rpg)
Dates with CU: Jan. 16 (in Boulder), Feb. 13 (in Los Angeles)
About the Bruins: The Bruins have lost to the two best teams on their schedule (Duke and Missouri), but overall it was a good non-conference for UCLA, which won the Pac-12 title a year ago. Their top-end talent is exceptional, with Adams, Anderson and LaVine all considered potential first-round picks in the 2014 NBA Draft. The Bruins score a ton of points (85.5 per game) and play solid defense, as their 10.7 steals per game (second in the country) suggests. The Bruins will contend for the title once again.
USC Trojans (9-4)
Head coach: Andy Enfield, first season (9-4; 50-32 career)
Key players: G Pe'Shon Howard, 6-3, Sr. (11.0 ppg, 4.4 apg); F Nikola Jovanovic, 6-10, Fr. (10.0 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 55.6% FG); C Omar Oraby, 7-2, Sr. (9.5 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 2.8 bpg, 63.6% FG); G J.T. Terrell, 6-3, Sr. (10.8 ppg, 2.4 rpg); G Byron Wesley, 6-5, Jr. (17.0 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 2.5 apg)
Dates with CU: Jan. 18 (in Boulder), Feb. 16 (in Los Angeles)
About the Trojans: USC certainly didn't wow anybody in the non-conference, but considering it was 5-8 at this point last year, the Trojans showed great improvement. Enfield's up-tempo style has helped the Trojans increase their scoring average nearly 10 points per game (to 75.0) this season. They should be more competitive and certainly can't be overlooked.
Utah Utes (11-1)
Head coach: Larry Krystkowiak, third season (32-44; 74-64 career)
Key players: F Jordan Loveridge, 6-6, So. (17.3 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 2.9 apg); G Brandon Tyler, 5-10, So. (11.0 ppg, 4.1 apg); G Delon Wright, 6-5, Jr. (14.9 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 5.9 apg, 2.6 spg, 70.7% FG)
Dates with CU: Feb. 1 (in Boulder), March 1 (in Salt Lake City)
About the Utes: A two-point loss at Boise State on Dec. 3 is the only blemish on the schedule so far. Statistically, the Utes lead the nation in scoring margin (plus 27.6), field-goal percentage (54.2 percent) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.82). Their 87.4 points per game is second in the Pac-12 and is a stunning 23.2-ppg increase over last year. The Utes, however, have yet to be seriously tested.
Washington Huskies (8-5)
Head coach: Lorenzo Romar, 12th season (245-126; 338-214 career)
Key players: G Andrew Andrews, 6-2, So. (13.1 ppg, 4.3 rpg); F Perris Blackwell, 6-9, Sr. (12.0 ppg, 7.3 rpg); G C.J. Wilcox, 6-5, Sr. (20.5 ppg, 4.2 rpg, 2.8 apg); G Nigel Williams-Goss, 6-4, Fr. (12.6 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 4.4 apg)
Dates with CU: Jan. 12 (in Seattle), Feb. 9 (in Boulder)
About the Huskies: It's been a rough season so far for the Husky defense, which ranks last in the conference in points allowed (79.2 per game) and 335th out of 345 Division I teams in field-goal percentage defense (49.6 percent). They do have some scoring punch, though, led by Wilson. A year ago, the Huskies finished 9-9 in conference and went to the NIT. They might have a hard time repeating that.
Washington State
Cougars (7-5)
Head coach: Ken Bone, fifth season (77-70; 412-235 career)
Key players: G DaVonte Lacy, 6-3, Jr. (18.9 ppg, 4.7 rpg); F D.J. Shelton, 6-10, Sr. (8.1 ppg, 8.2 rpg); G Royce Woolridge, 6-3, Jr. (10.9 ppg, 2.5 apg)
Dates with CU: Jan. 8 (in Spokane), Feb. 5 (in Boulder)
About the Cougars: Last in the Pac-12 a year ago, the Cougars haven't given any indication that they'll make much of a jump this year. Lacy is the one major weapon they have, but even with him, they had a mediocre non-conference. Offensively, the Cougars rank last in the Pac-12 in scoring (70.7), field goal percentage (44.3) and free throw percentage (62.6).

Lounges >Corner Bar
100 Townsend St, Birmingham, MI | Directions 4800942.544512 -83.215610
Mon Closed ; Tue Closed ; Wed-Sat 5pm-2am ; Sun Closed
Wonderful atmosphere – had a great time!
HATE IT! – -Worst Service for outside seating.
-Worst food
-Worst Waitresses
-Horrible Sushi
-Only 4 items on the menu besides sushi
Need I say more?
The only good thing I can say about this place is the drinks, but how hard is it to pour a glass of wine?
DONT GO! Go across the street to 220 or Elies.
Discerning nightcrawlers and guests treat themselves to elegance at the well-appointed lounge of the Townsend Hotel. – The Scene
Down-to-earth patrons move about in a mix of martinis, rich mahogany woodwork and pewter tiles. Beveled glass behind the bar adds a smooth touch. The marble-topped bar wraps around, central to high-backed chairs that hug the main room's perimeter. The walls are lined with windows, ideal for people-watching in downtown Birmingham. Soft, muted lighting is pleasantly dim, but not sleep-inducing.
The Draw
The drinks and the vibe of this venerable drinking den draw patrons from beyond the hotel suites. Choice vodkas (Chopin, Ciroc, etc.), high-end single malts (Small Batch collection, 30-year-old Macallans, 10-year-old Glenmorangie) and cleverly delicious tapas-style dining await. There are 14 cigars on the menu for further decadence. Plus, there's a sense of arrival about sitting in a smart lounge and hearing the bartender ask his manager "Is Nic Cage still staying here tonight?"

One of the elements I like in comics from time to time is sexiness, comics featuring hot chicks with quality art in a book that is genuinely entertaining and worth reading. "Bad girl" comics being a big chunk of that scene, but they don't have to fit that niche. Pretty much, what are some good comics that are also sexy?
Of course Hack/Slash is a great comic that has some sexiness, Witchblade too, Bomb Queen, Catwoman, etc. And as far as being hot while genuinely entertaining, Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose has got to be the top.
Other than that, what else is out there and worth reading in the hot action women subgenre? Or even a prominent character if not the lead. I find a lot of the bad girl comics just aren't all that entertaining. I kind of dig some of the current Vampirella stuff, but it seems a lot of the "bad girl" genre is in a place where it's very serious and not having a lot of fun. When looking at previews or flipping through recent Lady Death books for example, or Red Sonja, it seems they have a straightforwardness and lack of quirkiness that doesn't really look that entertaining.
For Lady Death readers who are reading this post, does any character ever point out she's a hot woman in a bikini?
I dunno, what do you think readers? What's some good stuff?

Anderson Varejao out for the rest of the season
Cleveland Cavaliers center Anderson Varejao recently developed a blood clot in his lung, after having surgery on his leg. He was admitted to the hospital on January 17th for the blood clot and is currently being treated with blood thinners. Varejao will need to remain on the blood thinners for three months. Although he should make a full recovery, he will miss the remainder of the Cavaliers' season.
Cavaliers GM Chris Grant expressed concern and support for Varejao:
"Clearly our players' health is our top concern and we are disappointed for Anderson, and his family. We know what a competitor he is and how much he wants to be on the court helping his teammates. In the meantime, he has our full support and we look forward to welcoming him back as he recovers."
Varejao has had a string of unfortunate injuries that has plagued his career recently.
Varejao had a freak ankle injury in practice 2 years ago, this year had a bizarre split muscle MRIs couldn't even see & now a blood clot—

As he enters the first full season of his second run as Randolph County's head coach, he sees a team with three returning starters on both sides of the ball. He sees a team that endured unusual drama at the end of last season.
It's time to start over.
"We've just all got to get up and move and, hopefully, build something here," Prestridge said. "We're trying to build it like Coach Watters used to have it."
Watters won 144 games with three state runner-up finishes from 1979-2000 at Randolph County, and Prestridge coached five playoff teams there from 2001-07.
With Prestridge serving as interim coach for the final three games of 2012, the Tigers finished 5-5 and made their first playoff appearance since 2006, losing to Woodland.
But that playoff breakthrough was only the beginning of starting over. Not only did Randolph County lose so many starters, including quarterback Ty Sparks, now at Piedmont, but there was an untimely coaching change.
Randy Sparks was relieved of duties after the eighth game, a 33-27 loss to Lanett. Prestridge, who had followed family ties to Parrish as defensive coordinator from 2008-10 then came back to Randolph County for the same job in 2011, was promoted to interim head coach.
Prestridge lost the interim tag during the offseason, and the new beginning began. For the few returning veterans, the transition was tough.
"It hurt a lot of us," said wide receiver Willis Knight, cousin of former Randolph County great Ezekial Knight and one of four seniors on this year's team. "A lot of us had a good bond with Coach Sparks, and then you've got to think about his son (Ty), too."
With each new coach comes a new way of doing things, and a 39-man roster has learned that in the intervening months. It's all about re-establishing a sense of toughness and work-ethic that he and a staff of former Tigers once knew.
"'Coach P' likes to run the old plays, but we work harder in the weight room," Knight said.
Prestridge said toughness is the first building block in getting Randolph County's aura back.
"When Coach Watters was here a few years ago, people respected Randolph County," he said. "It wasn't fear, but people really didn't want to play Randolph County.
"They knew we were hard-nosed. We were well-coached. Everybody was going to have self-discipline and be disciplined on the field. I remember those years, playing for him, so, hopefully, we can get that back."
In terms of personnel, Randolph County has few obvious answers. Returning starters include Knight at receiver and cornerback, Keith Clark at guard and defensive tackle, running back Reco Hannah and defensive tackle Levi Phillips.
Quarterback ranks highest among question marks, with junior transfer Elijah McFarland from Temple, Ga., battling sophomore John Mark Prestridge and junior Lane Henderson. If not quarterback, McFarland is likely to play receiver.
But that's just one of many question marks.
"We're pretty young, so it's basically a rebuilding process, but these guys have got a lot of heart," Knight said. "That's the thing. Last year, we didn't have heart, but this year, I see some heart out here.
"We might be young, but I feel like we'll come to play on Friday night."
Randolph County at a glance
Head coach: Pat Prestridge (71-51 in 12 seasons as head or interim coach; 54-31 entering eighth full season at Randolph County).
Last year's record: 5-5, 4-3 and fourth in Class 2A, Region 5. Lost to Woodland in first round of playoffs.
Outlook: It's starting-over time for the Tigers, who return three starters on both sides of the ball and lost key producers like quarterback Ty Sparks, who transferred to Piedmont. Pat Prestridge won a 2A title with Randolph County in 2003 and begins his second run as the Tigers' head coach, after replacing Randy Sparks as interim coach eight games into 2012.

Worth Reading 2: Electric Blogaloo

Some more things from the interwebnets that have caught my attention: Mail gets it wrong on US broadcast of 'Downton Abbey' – Tabloid Watch reports on how Downton Abbey isn't being dumbed-down for American audiences. I'm shocked – shocked! – that there's inaccurate and badly researched reporting going on in the Daily Mail. A Con-LibDem […]

Having been a Classics scholar at Trinity College seems to have infused Longley with the cadences of classical metres and with the stories and characters from Greek and Roman mythology. However, even when the poems make a direct reference to incidents from Homer, they bear witness to the contemporary moment: for example, the retrieval of Hector's body in 'Ceasefire', which was published just days after a ceasefire was called in Northern Ireland. Longley is also an expert at presenting the small pure moments of peace that are the opposite of violence, sometimes alone, as in 'Snow Water', sometimes in parallel, as in 'The Ice-cream Man'. Even when paralleled, his links are oblique and lightfooted; the murder of 'The Ice-cream Man' is surrounded by the attentive litany of flavours and flowers that demonstrate respect for each individual thing, but the difference is not remarked upon.
His respect and his eye for nature provide a group of beautiful nature poems, often set in West of Ireland, such as 'Remembering Carrigskeewaun'. And a last theme is love; Longley is married to Edna Longley, an excellent and seemingly strict critic - "if it wasn't for her, my oeuvre would be three times the size it is now" - who can be found in a (still oblique) love poem such as 'The Pattern'.
Longley's reading style, when he is using rhyme, does not allow its ring to overpower the sense; his metrical effects are delivered equally subtly in his gently inflected voice. The priority is, appropriately, always given to the clear presentation of what he has described as "those moments when language itself takes over the enterprise, and insight races ahead of knowledge."
His recording was made on 25 March 2001 at The Audio Workshop, London and was produced by Richard Carrington.

- Decatur Patch
Gordy is a 4-year old Egyptian street dog who was abandoned in Cairo this fall and spent five days patiently waiting in the same spot downtown where he was dumped. Every day he carefully watched everyone who came by, looking for his former family to come back and get him.
Fed on occasion by kindly soldiers and citizens who saw him standing there night and day, he was finally rescued by The Egyptian Society for Mercy To Animals (ESMA), a non-profit dedicated to helping homeless pets and wildlife in a society that very often considers such animals to be disposable.
Still, how did he get to Georgia?

Why Hurricanes Have Names
Amazing Hurricane Images: Felix - 2007 (NASA)
Powerful Category 5 Felix was photographed over the western Caribbean by a crew member aboard the International Space Station on September 3, 2007.
Hurricane Season prompts many questions from residents and vacationers alike, most of which involve evacuation and storm preparation plans. But beyond the life-and-property preserving inquiries, the biggest question meteorologists get: how do hurricanes get their names?
Hurricane names are even fodder for comedians. Sardonic comedian Lewis Black has expressed his views of 1991's Hurricane Bob and 1999's Hurricane Lenny. Satirical news source "The Onion" suggested that a nameless hurricane would be terrifying compared to a storm named 'Earl'. In 2012, Hurricane Fabio, which did not threaten land, elicited snickers from meteorologists tracking the storm in the Eastern Pacific.
A Little History
The word hurricane is derived from the Spanish word "huracan," which was most likely inspired by Hunrakan, the Mayan storm god, and Hurakan, a Taino and Carib god. The word hurricane was first used to describe any localized tropical cyclone in the West Indies.
(MORE: Origin of the Word 'Hurricane' | What is a Tropical Cyclone?)
Surface weather map on Sep. 21, 1938. The hurricane was located off Cape Hatteras, N.C. at the time of this map.
Today, a hurricane is an Atlantic or Eastern Pacific Basin tropical cyclone with maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher.
Multiple tropical cyclones can develop simultaneously in various ocean basins, creating the possibility of confusion if a method for differentiating the storms did not exist. Naming tropical cyclones allows meteorologists to observe, track, and communicate the whereabouts of various systems at a given time.
Historically, the convention behind naming hurricanes started off innocuously enough. For centuries, forecasters named storms after they hit, and those names would associate the storm with a particular place, time, or event. If a storm struck a particular ship or town, the hurricane was named after the collateral damage. An example of this is the Long Island Express, which is a hurricane that struck New England in 1938.
(MORE: The Great Hurricane of 1938)
If the hurricane hit land on a particular saint's day in the West Indies, the storm was labeled after the saint. For example, Hurricane Santa Ana struck Puerto Rico in 1825, and two separate San Felipe storms hit Puerto Rico -- one in 1876 and another in 1928.
A modern example of naming hurricanes based on the day is the September 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, which earned its name because it made landfall in the central Florida Keys on Labor Day.
Obviously meteorologists no longer name tropical storms and hurricanes after locations, dates, and saints. But why do they receive names like Bob, Sandy, or Don?

My signature style started because I was obsessed with like this Rockabilly kind of swing dancing, Lindy Hop scene.
It was totally different than anything I had seen or that was going on.
I love onesies. This is Elsie Katz. These are Fendi. This is from Coquette. And I like my nails the best. I just like anything that looks good on you and makes a statement, really.
I love patterns. I love things that make me laugh, like, I love cute things. Like yesterday, I was wearing a dress that had a constellation pattern on it and today, I'm wearing a dress that has stars on it.
Lolita is kind of like my style icon, very, like, innocent but tiger inside, you know. We know what we're doing but we come off very, you know, innocent.

What I'm watching this summer: Brett's list
by Brett Love, posted Jun 15th 2007 8:00AM
As I started putting this list together it occurred to me, "Holy crap, there is a lot of good TV this summer." The summer used to be the time when my VCRs cooled their worn out heads after nine months of hard work. And now I find myself needing the Tivo and the DVR to keep up with everything. That's progress!

Despite competition from bulkier Water-types and a plethora of Rapid Spin users, Blastoise remains a strong Pokemon of the UU tier. Its main use is as a bulky spinner, which it does very well with its strong defenses and great Water typing. Its excellent movepool allows it to serve other functions, from utilizing offensive Choice items to stalling opponents out with Toxic. Sadly, Blastoise is weakened by its lack of a reliable recovery move and weakness to Thunderbolt, a move commonly found on many spinblockers, such as Rotom. It is also checked by the numerous UU Grass-types, namely Leafeon, Venusaur, and Sceptile. Even with its flaws, Blastoise is still a staple Pokemon of the UU tier.
Blastoise is one of a handful of Pokemon gifted with the ever-useful Rapid Spin, and because of its bulk and great defensive typing, it can easily find opportunities to use it. It has little trouble switching in on common walls and using Rapid Spin to blow away any entry hazards. In addition to Rapid Spin, it has a number of good options for further team support such as Roar, as well as good offensive type coverage provided by Surf and Ice Beam. Blastoise makes a great teammate because of its versatility and ability to deal with a large variety of Pokemon.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set takes a completely different approach to using Blastoise, while allowing it to keep its defensive role. The "RestTalk" strategy not only gives Blastoise a way to heal itself but also allows it to absorb the status moves it normally loathes. Meanwhile, Roar is used to shuffle opponents, allowing entry hazards to take their toll while Blastoise tanks hits. Roar also makes Blastoise extremely difficult to set up on, which opponents will inevitably attempt to do once Blastoise uses Rest. Conveniently, Sleep Talk also overrides Roar's -5 priority, meaning it can phaze slower opponents before they can attack. Surf's STAB and neutral type coverage make it a great attack to use with this set, allowing Blastoise to wear down opponents in its sleep.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Although slapping Choice Specs on Blastoise may seem like an awkward fit, when paired with its recent acquisition, Water Spout, it makes for a very potent combination. Water Spout is a move that, despite its awesome power, is very rarely seen outside of the Uber tier, which is mostly attributable to the low Speed of its two NU owners: Octillery and Wailord. Blastoise, however, is not only considerably faster than these two but also is primarily used as a defensive Pokemon, giving it the surprise factor that its counterparts lack.
The beauty of this set lies not in its raw attacking power but instead in its ability to lure in and destroy UU's top spinblockers; Rotom, Mismagius, and Spiritomb. When your opponent has Stealth Rock up in the early-game, switching in Blastoise will immediately coax out their spinblocker and allow Blastoise to KO it with Water Spout. Quickly dispensing of these Pokemon will allow Rapid Spin users such as Donphan and Claydol to perform their jobs with ease. As demonstrated by the damage calculations below, standard variants of Rotom and Mismagius will be OHKOed after Stealth Rock damage, while most Spiritomb will take massive damage and be primed for an easy 2HKO.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Blastoise has a few handy options that have yet to be mentioned. Haze can get rid of stat boosts, but it is usually overshadowed by Milotic in this department. Another rather gimmicky option is Counter and Mirror Coat, allowing Blastoise to score a surprise KO on an unsuspecting opponent. It can survive most non-STABed Grass and Electric attacks, making Mirror Coat a good option if you are willing to allow Blastoise to take the hit. Meanwhile, it is very difficult for opponents to OHKO Blastoise through physical attacks, so Counter allows Blastoise to bounce back those attacks for heavy damage. Blastoise also carries some nifty physical moves such as Waterfall, Ice Punch, and Earthquake, but these should be avoided as Azumarill, Feraligatr, and Kabutops completely outclass it in this department; however, Blastoise has the element of surprise on its side with these attacks, if nothing else.
Checks and Counters
Despite its unimpressive defenses, Rotom is a great counter to Blastoise, as it blocks Rapid Spin and can threaten Blastoise with Thunderbolt and Trick. The same can be said for Mismagius, as it usually carries Thunderbolt. Spiritomb can also get in Blastoise's way, but it won't be happy if it gets hit with Toxic. Grass-types are another huge threat to Blastoise in UU, namely Sceptile, Venusaur, and Leafeon. Venusaur can switch in on Blastoise the easiest, as it does not fear Toxic. If Blastoise lacks Rest, Toxic from the likes of Uxie and Milotic will make sure it does not stick around much longer. Lanturn will not enjoy Toxic, but can switch in easily and defeat Blastoise with Thunderbolt. Chansey can switch in on Blastoise at any time and wall it to no end. Substitute users, such as Toxicroak, Feraligatr, and Azumarill, can all set up on Blastoise if it lacks Haze and Roar. RestTalk stat boosters, such as Calm Mind Spiritomb and Curse Registeel, also give Blastoise trouble, as they can shrug off any inflicted status from it. Toxicroak is a big threat because it absorbs Surf thanks to Dry Skin and is immune to Poison, rendering Blastoise's two greatest offensive moves useless. Blastoise's final flaw is the lack of an instant recovery move, meaning that you can keep chipping away at it, but Blastoise can also do the same to you, so beware.

Humboldt, Iowa -
Location: Humboldt County (North Central Iowa)
Population: 4,452 (2000 census)
4th of July organizers hope their 267.1 pound pork burger is one for the record books.
Information from Head Cook Gary Vinsand and 4th of July Committee Member Tom Greene
-Burger was put together on Friday night (July 02) and kept in a cooler at Hy-vee Grocery Store.
-240 pounds of pork (pre-cooked weight) and 6 pounds of seasoning were used.
-It takes about two average size hogs to make that much meat.
-A 130 pound pan was specially built to cook the burger.
-The burger was three and one-half feet in diameter and ten inches thick.
-Five man cooking crew. (Names listed below)
-Started cooking Saturday, July 03 at about 7:00 a.m.
-Finished Saturday afternoon at about 4:30 p.m.
-Cooked to a center temperature of 155 degrees Fahrenheit
Information from Humboldt County Sheriff Dean Kruger
45.2 pounds - Bun weight
221.9 pounds - Cooked pork burger weight
267.1 pounds - Official weight as certified by Humboldt, Iowa County Sheriff Dean Kruger
After the weight was certified the burger was cut and handed out to anyone who wanted to try it.
The pork burger should be a Guinness World Record for the largest pork burger (meat and bun). There was not a Guinness Official in Humboldt so all paper work, video and photos need to be verified by Guinness before it becomes official.

Hi everyone.
I've just unlocked the phone using free method. Before I was using it as a WiFi iPod and internet serfing device, but made some preparations for today. I moved all my contact here.
when someone is calling me the iphone shows the number but doesn't recognize a caller. I have all my contacts stored in internationall format +380 +44... +356... and carrier sends them as [+3] 8050... without country code. For SMSs it works just fine, they are recieved in international format.
"EASY" solution of converting all numbers back to local format is not good, becuse I will have to add the are code when I'm abroad, and it really happens :)

Following Ezra
What One Father Learned About Gumby, Otters, Autism, and Love From His Extraordinary Son
- Paperback: $15.00 add to cart
A heartwarming, intimate and amusing memoir of a father's experience raising his autistic son.
When Tom Fields-Meyer's son Ezra was three and showing early signs of autism, a therapist suggested that the father needed to grieve.
--Rabbi Naomi Levy, author of To Begin Again and Hope Will Find You
"A riveting account of raising one special boy, Following Ezra is a powerful story for parents of any child. This inspiring book shows us that seeing meaning and depth in our children's idiosyncrasies is crucial to raising strong, secure and resilient kids. Tom Fields-Meyer has written a beautiful, funny, tender book."
--Michael Gurian, New York Times bestselling author of The Wonder of Boys
"Anyone who is raising a child with special needs should read Following Ezra. It shows how warmth and humor--yes, humor--can help not just the child, but the family, more than most of us could ever imagine."
--James Patterson, New York Times bestselling author
"The moving, fascinating story of a father's journey toward understanding and hope."
--Daniel Tammet, New York Times bestselling author of Born on a Blue Day
"Following Ezra is an unsentimental, beautifully written memoir about a boy whose limitations and gifts are as extraordinary as his impact on the reader's life. Like Ezra himself, this book is by turns funny, painful, poignant and scrupulously honest."
--Rabbi David J. Wolpe, author of Why Faith Matters
"I trust the parent who yields to wonder and celebrates the unexpected. Love is the river that runs through this book. Dignity and grace light each page."
--Beth Kephart, National Book Award finalist for A Slant of Sun, and author of Undercover
"When Tom Fields-Meyer's son Ezra was diagnosed with autism, the author decided to forego mourning for the child who might have been, and concentrate instead on the delightful kid he had. Following Ezra is at once a meticulous description of what it is to parent a child who has autism, and a salute to the kid whose mind takes both of them to mysterious, profound, and silly places we so-called typical adults can scarcely imagine."
--Carolyn See, author of Making a Literary Life, and grandmother of a child with autism

Often, one has Audio that is too loud, or too soft. Sometimes, they have added a music Track, that needs to drop down to clearly hear the dialog from another Clip. While there are Audio-editing programs, like Audition, SoundBooth, and even the free Audacity, PrE, or PrPro can handle such adjustment just fine. These adjustments can be made for the entire Clip, or can be Keyframed over time.
First method, and not one that I recommend, is to adjust the Audio Gain of the Audio Clip. This is done by either Rt-clicking on a separate Audio Clip, or by first Alt-clicking, and then Rt-clicking on a Muxed Audio Clip (Multiplexed with both Video and Audio in one file). Then, one would choose Audio Gain, and adjust that. This method will also allow one to then adjust the Volume by a greater amount, and has the bonus of increasing the Waveform Dislay vertically.
The next method is to look at the Audio Clip (or the Audio portion of a Muxed Clip), and click-drag on the yellow-orange "rubberband" for Volume, and move it up, or down. This can be Keyframed, but the next method is much better and more precise, in my estimation.
My first choice is to adjust the fixed Effect>Volume. This is done from the Effects Control Panel, and it is very easy to Keyframe these adjustments over time. This is much more accurate, and actually easier, than click-dragging the rubberbands in the Clip itself. Accessing the Effects Control Panel is slightly different, from PrE to PrPro. In PrE, one would Select the Audio Clip, then go to the Effects Tab, and choose Edit Effects, locating the Volume Effects and twirling it open to view the slider. In PrPro, if one does not already have the Effects Control Panel in a Pane in the GUI, it would be accessed from Window>Effects Control Panel. With the Audio Clip Selected, one would locate the fixed Volume Effect, twirl that open, and make the same adjustments, including Keyframes, if necessary. These will be Clip Keyframes, and will follow that Clip, where ever you move it. This is a difference from the next method.
My other choice would be to use the Audio Mixer (Window>Audio Mixer, if not open), and to automate the Volume settings. This is accomplished by playing the Timeline and adjusting the sliders for Volume for each Track. In PrPro, one would first set the Send to Write, or Touch, to make those adjustments, then switch back to Read, when done. There are no adjustable Sends in PrE, so one is always in Read, until adjustments are made, and then it's set to Write, but you will not see this change. After you are done, you can playback the Timeline, and watch the slider(s) automatically move. These will be Track Keyframes, and will remain on the Track, regardless of what Clips you add/remove from that area of the Track. Unlike the Clip Keyframes, these will NOT follow the Clip.
One can toggle the Keyframe of an Audio Track between Clip, or Track. Also, the default frequency of Audio Track Keyframes in PrE & PrPro is a bit high, in my opinion. I drop these down a bit in Edit>Preferences.
For the Keyframing, one can alter the Velocity of the Keyframes to Bezier from Linear, and the adjustments will be a bit smoother. Besides the Bezier, one can use Ease-Out and Ease-In, which are Bezier, but basically in a Preset. In PrPro, one has several different Bezier options. In PrE, one is a bit more limited.
For setting the Volume, I recommend that one only glance at the Levels Meters (unless they are peaking in the red), and instead use a pair of high-quality headphones (noise canceling models are worth the money), or fully calibrated studio monitors. Let your ears make the decisions for you, as the dB settings should only be a starting point.
In PrPro, one can also Rt-click on the Audio Clip, and choose Edit in Audition (if you have it installed), or Edit n Soundbooth (if you have one of the suites).
Here is a look at Audio Keyframes in PrPro 2.0. Things are similar in PrPro later versions, and also in PrE, with the above noted differences:
In PrE, there are two fixed Audio Tracks, Soundtrack and Narration. These used to be the logical choice for each of those Audio sources, but some users in later versions of the program have experienced problems with them. Not sure what this problem is, but enough have experienced them, that I now recommend using using the alternate method below.
The alternate method is to ignore those, and just use any free Audio Track, using Add Tracks/Audio Tracks, if necessary.
It's also good to understand how PrE and PrPro handle channel-counts in Audio Tracks. This ARTICLE will give some background and details.
For some good background on Audio Levels, this PrPro CS 5/5.5 Help File covers most aspects. Note: though for PrPro CS 5/5.5, almost everything applies to Pr, earlier PrPro and PrE. The exact names, or locations might differ slightly, and also PrPro's Audio Mixer offers Sends, that PrE does not have, but the material will still be useful.
For PrPro CS 6, some things have changed, regarding Audio. Here are some tutorials:

Watch The Clone Wars carefully and you might catch quite a few shout-outs to the Star Wars films in various allusions and Easter eggs.
Wired's GeekDad Blog points out a few:
- In a gambit later used by Han Solo and Luke Skywalker aboard the first dreaded Death Star, Cad Bane disguises himself in trooper armor to escape notice and slip past security.
- When Admiral Yularen says "No! Lock them all down, hurry!" it is a reference to C-3PO's line in A New Hope, as he frantically admonishes R2-D2 to shut down the trash compactors aboard the Death Star.
- The holographic mobile hovering over the Gungan toddler's crib includes a colo clawfish, an opee sea killer and a sando aqua monster, the three massive underwater beasts that attack Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's submarine in The Phantom Menace.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.
At Micro Connectors, it's not enough to be a leading single source cable manufacturer. We want to be the only cable company you'll ever need. So, we've made meeting your needs our top priority.

The ultimate reference book of crochet techniques, great for newcomers and expert crocheters. You will find 16 techniques ranging from Hairpin Lace to Learning to Symbol Crochet all in one great book! Each technique features full-color illustrations, step-by-step instructions and project patterns for practice. A must-have for your crochet library.
Behind the somewhat dull and dusted title of "compendium" hides a wonderful introduction to 16 different crochet techniques: bead crochet, broomstick lace, doilies, double-ended crochet, felting, filet crochet, crochet with fleece, mosaic crochet, hairpin lace, intarsia, slip-stitch, crochet socks, symbol crochet, tunisian, waffle-weave, and wiggly crochet. I know several of those techniques, and others I have heard of, some tried - some didn't dare trying - some just "not my style", and lastly some that I never heard of or thought about (like crochet with fleece ?!). Wow, is this book good for all of that!
The explanations are clear and concise, and each technique comes with a project suggestion that's just right to try it out, but still turning into a useful project. A great "compendium" to go to if you're looking for inspiration, of if you are in the exploration mood but don't want to commit to too much.
Also, I don't want to buy a whole book about "wiggly crochet" until I try it out, and here is the opportunity. Or, hairpin lace has been on my try-out list for a long time, and the samples suggested in this chapter have been just too much to resist to finally do it (make a beautiful flowery square using basic hairpin lace!).
Yes, it's a 5-star, and make sure to get a copy for yourself before you buy one as a gift.
