The Final round of Copa Del Rey 2012 will pit in Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Both football clubs have the most number of wins in the history of the Copa Del Rey. Having met one another in several Final rounds of the cup for 6 times, both teams are bound to prove which one of them is
Despite getting a record of 23 wins in the Copa Del Rey, the second-highest in the cup's history, Athletic Bilbao's has never won the Final since 1984. It reached and won the Final frequently between 1903 and 1985. Bilbao's last win in 1984 was fought against Barcelonan with a 1-0 score. However, its last Final round in 2009 was won by the Catalan club with a 4-1 score. Gaining 4 losses and 1 draw in its last five matches, Bilbao has lots to prove in this year's Copa Del Rey Final.
Barcelona, being the stronger contender in this match, has previously beaten Bilbao in the 2009 Copa Del Rey Final. It enjoys a strong record of 3 wins and 2 draws in its last five matches. Since Bilbao's last win in 1984, Barcelona won the Copa Del Rey five times in 1988, 1990, 1997, 1998 and 2009. Barcelona's record of 25 cup wins is the highest in the history of Copa Del Rey.

7 Important Factors When Betting for Football
When you bet on football, you have to form your own betting strategies. If you want to make any football betting strategy work, you must observe the different things that could affect the outcome of your bets. Here are some important factors that you need to take note all the time when betting on football matches.
News on Teams
When betting on football, it is important to keep in tune with the latest news of your favourite football team. Take note of the latest news involving your chosen team that is relevant to the outcome of your bet. News such as player injuries, relegation rumours, management change and the like have a strong bearing on your bet. The performance of the team that you have betted for can change due to those updates.
Determination of Teams
Your chosen football team's determination towards a certain match could affect the outcome of your bet. Check if your chosen team has expressed determination to win an upcoming match, especially if it is going to face its rival or if it is focused on winning the title after years of being winless.
Team Records on Last Matches
Recent performances of your favourite team could determine whether or not it is getting stronger or weaker. Before you place your bets, always research on records of recent performances of your chosen team. Those records have a convincing connection to the possible outcomes of your bet.
Head-to-Head Team Records
It is also important to search whether the football team you have betted for has a history of previous matches with its opponent in an upcoming match. Check on head-to-head records of your chosen team versus its opponent so that you could see which of the two sides have an impressive record.
Team Records on Home and Away
Study on statistics involving your chosen football team's home and away records. Your chosen team could have a history of scoring better when playing on either home or away games.
Team Schedule
Examine the schedule of your chosen football team you are betting for. Your team's performance can also be determined through its schedule. See if your team is going to play important matches or participate in a series of games crammed in one month. Those factors could either make your chosen team tired or more motivated to win.
Sportsbook Odds
Check the odds designated for your preferred football team. Pick a trustworthy sportsbook that offers great odds values such as 12BET to make the most out of your sports betting experience. In that way, you will earn more money as you win in your bets
If you want to bet in a sportsbook with great odds values for football matches, place your bets at 12BET.com now.

Jude Law Returns As Dr. John Watson
Naming the best Watson on film is a spirited and intense debate, but one thing remains clear: Jude Law's stint as the iconic Dr. Watson in 2009 was a marked change from the typical bumbling sidekick that normally appears, and was a change for the better. Devoted fans have noted that Law's portrayal is far closer to the original canon. The popularity of the franchise demonstrates that the foolish old doctor may be on the way out, while the young, clever, handsome Continue reading »

FRUGAL LIVING: Put together a first-aid kit
You can create a first-aid kit for your home or vehicle, rather than buying one. Add items such as antibiotic ointment, adhesive bandages, cotton balls, antiseptic wipes, calamine lotion, ChapStick, eyedrops, sunscreen, instant cold compresses, hand-warmer packets, tweezers, a thermometer, gauze and pain-relieving medication. You can also make a power-outage kit for your home that holds items such as candles, a lighter or matches, batteries and flashlights. Don't spend money on the containers for your homemade kits — reuse plastic coffee canisters, baby-wipes containers, plastic ice-cream tubs, tackle boxes or old lunchboxes.
The first reader tip has another suggestion to hold your supplies:
Repurpose: I bought a multi-pocket bag at the thrift store. I'm going to use it to create a large first-aid kit for my truck. — S.D., Minnesota
Salvage notions: When I've got used clothes that are so torn, worn or stained that they aren't worthy of even a donation to Goodwill, I glean buttons, elastic, hooks, snaps and zippers from them that I use later in my sewing projects. I cut up the rest of the fabric to use as rags or tear it into strips to make rag rugs. — C.L., Mississippi
Handy measurement: Whenever I find myself without a tape measure, I can still get a reasonably accurate measurement using currency. Bills are about six inches long, and I've used them more than once in a pinch to get a rough measurement. -- S.D., Minnesota
Get a hobby job: My hubby and I are motorcycle enthusiasts, with two Harleys of our own. I got a part-time job at my favorite independent motorcycle shop about a year ago to earn a little extra money. I love it! Not only am I learning a lot about the care and maintenance of motorcycles, I also get an employee discount on parts and labor. We have a consignment shelf at the shop for people to sell used parts, and I've saved a lot of money buying from there. And I even have my own display in the shop where I sell key chains and headbands, adding even more to my income. This part-time job is paying off in many frugal ways! — Mary, Texas
Donate: As a community service project through ORT America - Desert Chapter in Arizona, we have been collecting hotel amenities for homeless veterans and hospitalized vets at the V.A. for many years. We get toothpaste and toothbrushes from dentists, as well as travel-size soaps and shampoos from friends and acquaintances who travel, and we pack them in individual bags for homeless and sick veterans. They have given up so much for our safety and defense, it is the least we can do for them. — Sharon S., Arizona

man who figured out evolution and wrote "origin of species" and revolutionized biology. Creationism is flawed and you don't have to be an atheist to accept this mans brilliant work. ignorance is the only alternative to evolution.
2. | Charles Darwin | ||
An English Naturalist who was the author of "Origin of Species" as well as several other books. Charles Darwin revolutionized biology with the scientific theory of evolution. Evolution is Descent with modification. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species. This is a scientific fact and the theory of evolution has never been disproved much as some would like to see that happen.
For some reason this inspires great hostility among people who have obviously never read or done research on evolution. (As evidenced by the questions about why are there still apes. Answer: Evolution isn't a ladder, it more like a tree that has many branches. Humans didn't evolve from modern day apes such as chimpanzees… humans and chimps have a common ancestor. The descendents of that common ancestor split off into different species over millions of years. ) Charles Darwin had ten children, three of whom died early. Many of his surviving children and their grandchildren would later achieve notability themselves.

Many people believe Charles Darwin was a racist. He was not and that has been proven time and time again. Charles Darwin was a British person, born February 12 1809, described by himself as "A very ordinary boy, rather below the common standard of intelect." Charles Darwin might have been a country parson like his father thought, although a quick quirk of fate kept him from that turnout, when a botanist recommended Darwin for an appointment as a naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle (without pay!). Darwin revolutionalised evolution when he wrote a book in 1858 called "The Origin of the Species" and published it in 1859. His friend, with whom he hadn't talked about evolution at all, sent him a journal which was very much like Darwin's book! Darwin was shocked and quickly published his book before his friend published his, and it sold out on the first day. Darwin has been hated by many Christians throughout the past century and a half. Darwin has been said to have "put god out of a job". Darwin quietly gave up Christianity. Many Christians find room for both God and Darwin, but most Christians think Darwin was a heretic. I am a Darwinist, and am currently running a petition to make April 19th a religious holiday, as Darwin died April 19th, 1882, after being bedridden for a very long time.
There are three major kinds of Darwinism... Religious Darwinism, where... |

1. A ancient character of history who proposed an alternate theory to creation (destroyed by modern archeology)
2. A genius who proposed the theory that put God out of job. 1. What are you, a fucking Naturalist? Creatures didn't appear by "continuous slight modifications" you fuck, think about the Cambrian explosion.

The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl
Screenplay : Ray Mueller
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 1993
Half a century after her initial claim to fame, Leni Riefenstahl remains a frustrating and fascinating enigma. Here is a woman who directed only six films during the 1930's and 40's, and yet she has been hailed as the greatest female director of all time, and deplored as a conspiring agent of Adolf Hitler and the rise of the Third Reich.
This complex existence is the subject of writer/director Ray Mueller's engrossing documentary "The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl." Running over three hours in length (which is a little longer than it needs to be), Mueller traces Riefenstahl's lifework, from her days in the 20's as a stage dancer and actress in daring mountain adventure films, to her forced exile from the film community after World War II, and into her later years where she spent months at a time with the reclusive Nuba tribe in Africa. When Mueller's film was made in 1993, Riefenstahl was 90 years old, and still making frequent scuba diving trips around the world. Love her or hate her, she is an incredible woman.
Despite her later accomplishments and her insistent denials of willful involvement with the Nazis, her name is still almost unspeakable in Germany. She will most likely be remembered for only one film, "Triumph of the Will," a documentary of the Nuremberg Party Congress of 1934, which is considered by film historians to be the greatest propaganda film ever made. Riefenstahl repeatedly declares that she was simply a filmmaker doing a job to the best of her abilities, and the film's use for political purposes was out of her control.
Mueller dedicates most of his film to one-on-one interviews with Riefenstahl in locations ranging from her home to the site where "Triumph of the Will" was filmed. He allows her almost free range to explain herself and how she fit into the events that led to World War II. Mueller has obvious respect for Riefenstahl, and rarely does he challenge her answers. But, when he does, she fights back with strong words. Even now, she is still a determined woman, and she refuses to accept any responsibility for the damage her work did. Because she was never a member of the Nazi Party, and she claims she knew nothing of the Holocaust until the war was over, she cannot understand why people think she is guilty.
So, what to make of her? Pioneering feminist artist, or willful Nazi propagandist? Mueller's film does not answer this question, per se. It gives a great deal of information, and thoroughly presents the argument from both sides. One side consists of Riefenstahl's passionate defense of herself, and the other side consists of documentary footage of the horrors of Nazism, photos of her and Hitler side by side, and documents that often flatly contradict what she says. For instance, at one point in the film, she denies ever using Gypsies from a Nazi concentration camp as extras in one of her films. But then Mueller shows us documents showing the list of prisoners and the prison administrator's signature allowing them over to work for her.
Even though it explores the negative aspects of her life, "The Wonderful, Horrible Life of Leni Riefenstahl" also pays a great deal of homage to Riefenstahl as a trailblazing artist. The fact is, she was a brilliant filmmaker with an incredible eye for composition. The original German title of Mueller's film, "Die Macht der Bilder: Leni Riefenstahl," actually translates as "The Power of the Image." This is both a reference to Riefenstahl's work being used as effective propaganda, and to her artistic ability to capture unique and beautiful images on film. The point may be that the films themselves are guiltless -- it's how they're eventually used that matters.
One of the most fascinating sequences in the film shows Riefenstahl sitting at an editing machine, watching "Triumph of the Will." As the film plays, we look over her shoulder as she stops at various points and explains how she achieved certain shots, and what she was trying to accomplish. In these passages, it is all too easy to forget the propagandistic effects of the film, and view it simply as marvelous cinema.
The same is true of her 1938 film "Olympiad," which was a painstakingly crafted documentary of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. With her camera, Riefenstahl turned the human body into a fluid work of art. She went far beyond the bounds set by traditional documentary filmmaking of the time, and made a fantastic tribute to "the body beautiful." Needless to say, it has since been condemned as a Fascist ode to superior races.
Whatever your views on Riefenstahl and her involvement with the rise of Nazism, "Wonderful, Horrible Life . . ." is an absorbing film that might make you think twice. By chronicling her life and accomplishments, and showing her from numerous points of view, Mueller managed to shed at least a trace of light on this complicated artist. We will never know what she might have accomplished had she refused to film "Triumph of the Will" (as she asserts she tried to do), and so we are left only with speculation.

Sexy Activists Hit Cincinnati for 'Fur–Out, Love–In' Rally
For Immediate Release: February 9, 2011
Contact: Shakira Croce 757-622-7382
Cincinnati -- PETA's internationally renowned "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign will hit Cincinnati tomorrow. Sexy PETA activists will cuddle up in a bed on a public sidewalk wearing nothing but their underwear and holding a sign reading, "Fur–Out, Love–In."
When: Thursday, February 10, 12 noon
Where: Southeast corner of Chase and Hamilton avenues, Cincinnati
PETA's message to consumers: Animals who are trapped for their fur suffer excruciating pain before they are killed by trappers, who stomp on the animals' chests or break their necks. On fur farms, animals spend their entire lives in tiny, filthy cages before workers kill them by breaking their necks or using poison or anal electrocution. In China—which is now the world's leading fur exporter—animals who are killed for their fur, including millions of cats and dogs, are often skinned alive. Video footage recorded on a Chinese fur farm shows that workers pulled rabbits out of cages by their ears and stunned the screaming animals with electrical devices. Rabbits watched as other rabbits had their throats cut and their heads and paws cut off with knives before their skin was peeled off their bodies.
"Compassion is a big turn-on, but fur-wearers leave me cold," says PETA vixen Lauren Quillo. "By showing some of my skin, I hope to save animals' skins."
Many top fashion designers and retailers—including Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, J.Crew, and Forever 21—are 100 percent fur-free.

Posted to Announcement by Mr. Amol Waishampayan of Maiden Media Group at 12:10 PM
Maiden Media Group LLC, a digital experience agency, launched a new website today in order to reflect the tremendous changes the agency has undergone in the past year and a half. From updating the look of the office, to seeing significant changes in staff, Maiden Media Group's year in Philadelphia has been full of experiences now documented on their new digital platform. "With our official birthday coming up on October 12th, it seemed like a good time to celebrate and take a look at the changes that have come about in a little over a year," said Zain Haseeb, Director of Client Recruitment.

They have partnered with Apple in holding a workshop series that demonstrates "How to Build Your Social Ecosystem," an engaging and novel perspective on social media marketing.

Personal Messaging temporarily unavailable.
how much memory did you tell virtualbox to use for pclinuxos? Since pclinuxos is running inside a virtual machine, memory issues you may have are primarily btw virtualbox and your mac system.Do you have any other virtualized system? does your host system use the same amount of memory when guest systems are given the same about of memory?
The guest will have 1.5 GB if you gave it that much and linux will use as much memory as it can to cache data it thinks it might need at some point in the future and this is why you may see the memory as being used while no application is running. The memory is caches and its not that expensive for the system to get rid of it when in need of memory. It is essentially a non issue of the linux side.

2. | Girls Aloud | ||
An amazing British girl group, that despite coming from a reality show and having numerous haters, have released four studio albums and a greatest hits. Have had three #1's and hold the record for the 'Most Top 10 Singles By A Girl Group' in the United Kingdom. Girls Aloud are well good, have you heard their new album yet?
1. | Girls Aloud | ||
A massively succesful girl group with the Guinness World Record for most consecutive top ten hits and most successful reality TV band. Also amazingly pretty and down-to-earth. Just 5 gorgeous girlies. Girls Aloud are the best girl band in the UK.
3. | Girls Aloud | ||
British girl group. Formed on Popstars: The Rivals (kind of like american/british Idol). Manufactured pop, but the decent kind. Sometimes the lyrics don't make sense, but they are all amazingly talented. Their music is fun to listen to if you like pop. If you don't, then whatever. They're like the newer Spice Girls. Person 1: Whatcha listening to?
Person 2: Girls Aloud Person 1: Sweet, can I listen? Person 2: Sure. |
4. | Girls Aloud | ||
The Finest and Fittest girls ever! Dem Girls Aloud really knwo how to work it blood!
5. | girls aloud | ||
Gorgeous, talented and the biggest British girl band around at the moment. They are love. Kimberley has the mighty fine ass, Nadine has the vocal talent, Cheryl has the fantastic breasts, Nicola has the attitude and Sarah has the sexiness. Not to mention they're all stunners, thank you please
6. | girls aloud | ||
More manufactured pop (what's new?), but at least with some talent (they can all sing... a bit).
Kimberley Walsh has a very nice arse it must be said. The rest are average at best. I have no idea why I just spent some valuable time typing this.
7. | Girls Aloud | ||
An oxymoron if ever there was one - a Popstars/Pop Idol band that people gave a flying fuck about come their second album. Especially Louis Walsh, as he could (and should, lets be honest) retire on the money they roll in for him.
Also seem to have been chosen for FHM centrefolds more than anything else: Cheryl has large breats (and a mean right hook, just ask that toilet attendant), Nicola has nice legs, Nicola is the obligitory ugly one...and I forgot which of the other two is which, but one has a nice ass, and the other is a good all rounder. Watch one of their videos and notice that, rather than miming, Cheryl is stooping to show off her cleavage etc.

Hey folks, decided it was time I post up a log on Warseer so here we are.
I chose to start a Krieg army after being inspired by khargrim's thread Linky
I have always wanted a Krieg army and his thread was just the inspiration I needed. Since purchasing the gorgon troops I have expanded my army with regular firing infantry, grenadiers, heavy weapon squads and a few vehichles.
I currently have:
60 infantry (a mix of Gorgon troops and firing squads)
20 Grenadiers
A platoon command squad
9 heavy weapons squads
2 Commissars
A mounted commissar
A Chimera
I plan on getting another two chimeras and three medusas to make my 1500 point force. From there I'll probably add death riders and some other tanks.
So onto the pictures!
First up, a some pics of my Gorgon transport troops:

An unknown bomber is stalking New York City. He is sending Eve Dallas taunting letters promising to wreak mass terror and destruction among the "corrupt masses". And when his cruel web of deceit and destruction threatens those she cares for most, Eve fights back. It's her city...it's her job...and it's hitting too close to home. Now, in a race against a ticking clock, Eve must make the pieces fit - before the city falls.
Crack another case with Eve Dallas.
©2007 J. D. Robb; (P)2007 Brilliance Audio
"Excellent Narration"
The J.D. Robb, Eve Dallas series, is one of the best. Susan Ericksen's gift for capturing the characters' persona hits the mark every time. I have listened to 20 of these audio books and read the others. I intend to eventually buy those I've read so I can enjoy Susan's narration. The story lines are always very interesting and some of the humorous lines have me laughing out loud. Somehow, J.D. Robb is able to make the love making between her and Roark different in every book and a wonderful experience without seeming tawdry or vulgar, even though at times their banter can be; however, it is usually very humorous. Keep writing them J.D. I just finished the latest, Kindred in Death, and as usual the narration was top notch.
I am totally engaged in listening to Susan Ericksen's narration of this series. She manages to show the personalities of the characters so well!! I have listened to the first "in death" book up to this one all in order. It's been fun to see how Peabody develops as a great cop and how Eve and Roark's relationship evolves. I laugh out loud at some of their conversations, but there is always that sincere love for each other that keeps me wanting to listen to the next book! Keep up the good work J D Robb and Susan Ericksen!!
"We are Loyal"
Loyalty is a good thing, Eve Dallas knows this. She has loyalty to every victim she stands for, making sure that they have justice. So when a group is blowing up New York City landmarks Dallas will give her all to see that these people are brought to justice. Mean while Peabody's brother is in town, came to build cabinets for B. Donald Branson of Branson Tool and Toys. Plus the childish fight between Peabody and McNab comes to the forefront of the plot. This book pulls Dallas out of her comfort zone, she is good at her job, but that is when it is murder. But when she is dealing with a group on a mission she is not sure just how the steps of this dance are done when she is trying to find a group of terrorist. This is another great book by J.D. Robb and a great narration by Susan Ericksen. These two ladies take Romantic Suspense to the next level.
71 year old avid reader using either my eyes or ears. I make earrings that I donate to shelters and while I work, I listen to wonderful books. I also keep in mind that you have to kiss frogs to find princes - time's too short to bother with losers.
"Loved every book by JD Robb"
Police drama with a twist. All the "in Death" novels are filled with wonderful characters you'll miss when you finish the book and you'll be delighted to visit with them again in the next. I've read about 20 and I can't wait to read more.
Oh, and if you've ever thought "Not for me, I don't like Sci Fi" think again. The futuristic aspect won't spoil it for you, I promise.
"Well done!"
This series keeps getting better! I don't know how JDRobb does it, but the stories and plots are continually fresh and full of twisty-goodness.
This plot is intricate and well developed. I didn't figure it out until right before the end.
The narrator is excellent!
I recommend the series for those mystery buffs, that like a lot of romance thrown in for good measure!
"What you would expect from JD Robb"
It's the begining of Peabody and McNabb's romance.
The elevator scene.... I am not giving it away :-)
I love her accents for the characters.
several times, There is always funny stuff when Eve or Roak are concerned.
"this was fast paced and well developed story"
Yes, I would recommend this audiobook, Susan Erickson has developed the reading for each character, where I can follow the story so well that it is like watching a movie, I can see the characters, which also gives compliment to the writer, J. D. Robb (Nora Roberts). She keeps me reading her books because of how the characters are so interesting and each unique in their own way.
The endings are always the best for me and this one was no exception, because I did not figure the 'who done it' until it was about to be revealed.
I like the way Susan can give something special to each character and no one is overbearing on another.
There were parts in this story that made me laugh, especially with Peabody and McNabb and their blooming relationship.
I truly enjoy the Death series, when I can't get them on audio, I read the hard copy and still enjoy them, but reading is much easier after getting to know the characters on audio.
"Nobody threatens Dallas!!"
The narration and the great story line.
Well as I was driving I had to sit back a bit but the plot was interesting, the narration added life to the characters. There is also some individual insights with regard to the characters, this added extra dimension.
All of it. She is the character she is reading. The switches between dialogue is seamless. Its easy to tell who is speaking, just by her voice change. Awesome!!!!
Without giving the story away there was a part near the conclusion that stopped my heart.
"Loyalty in Death"
Once again this is an outstanding book by jd robb. I love this entire series and have alwasys been a true fan. I really love the fact that the auther choosed to keep the same narrator for all the in death series which makes it so much better to continue to follow the story line as the powerful, passionate couple of Roake and Eve progress onward. I recommend this book and the whole in death series!
I'm always on the search for engaging, intelligent books & authors who give me a story I can relate to. Through Audible I'm finding a lot! When I'm not reading or listening, I'm writing, cooking, traveling or working on my house or in the yard. Politics is also central in my life; I feel it's important to be aware of what's going on and give voice to protecting all that we value & hold dear.
"Cheesy Trash"
Other than re-writing the entire thing, nothing could save this. The characters are unrealistic - pit bull gorgeous cop married to a billionaire whipping boy. I am so sick of this set up. Give me real people doing real things; behaving in civilized ways.
I will still buy and listen to murder mysteries but will stay away from JD Robb and the Death series.
There was nothing I liked. She made the main character - Eve come across like a pit bull. It got tiresome in a hurry. Its so unlike how people converse in the real world. Roark was another failure. Portraying him as someone who could rise above the pit bull was laughable. My time is too valuable to waste on such badly written books.
None - absolutely none.
There is an entire 'Death' series - even the name creeps me out and if this book is any indication - the rest have to be as much a waste of time.

Over those hills would be an anticipated NeMiss matchup for the Class 3A state championship.
Friday at 8 p.m., two-time North champ and 2011 state champion Booneville will take on Bailey at the Mississippi Coliseum. Aberdeen will face Kemper County Saturday at 10:30 a.m.
"I think if Aberdeen and Booneville are worried about playing each other again, neither one of us are going to be in the finals," Booneville coach Michael Smith said. "We both have a lot of work to do to get to that point."
The Blue Devils (31-3) lost only one from the title team, guard Tre Welch. His replacement Jake Hall is one of three Devils to post a double figure average with 11 points an outing. Senior guard Keldrick Lesley leads the way with nearly 17 while junior postman and dunker Kenny Paul Geno scores 12.
At 22-10, Bailey Magnet is led by senior center Lee Montgomery and his 16.7 points per game, one of three to average double figures for the Knights, who ended Booneville's season two years ago on a Tuesday.
"They're not real big but they play very big," Smith said. "It's hard to find a weakness. It's a tough matchup. Film doesn't do them justice."
Booneville is coming off a 69-55 win against Aberdeen in the North finals to even the season series.
Tough draw
Aberdeen's loss drew the Bulldogs Kemper County (26-8) and McDonald's All-American Devonta Pollard.
Pollard, at 6-foot-7, is averaging 23.8 points while senior point man Nick Giles is good for nearly 20 a game.
Aberdeen coach Roy Hazzle said his team will play the way it's accustomed to no matter where the versatile Pollard lines up.
"We're going to make them work," Hazzle said. "If we get hurt in one thing, we've got something else we're going to adjust to. We've just got to play Bulldog basketball."
Aberdeen (27-6) often has up to 10 players in the scoring column. The Bulldogs rotate guards around big men Elliot Johnson and Brandon Hodges.
Point guard Sed Fair leads the team in scoring with 23 a game, while fellow guard Jeffery Riddle and double-figure rebounder Johnson add 10 per.
"We have to take them one at a time," Hazzle said. "We can't get to the next one unless we take care of the one at hand."

It has been cold and snowy all over the midwest lately, so today's Real Wedding is the perfect thing to warm us right up! With an apple orchard proposal and a May wedding – we can't help but think warm thoughts centered on fall and spring. The couple, Lindsay and Michael, wanted to personalize every detail of their day. With the event taking place at Michael's family meadow and adorable apple jam favors made by Lindsay and her mom, they put their mark on every aspect of this celebration. With Karen Feder Photography there to capture all the festivities, you can really feel the warmth this couple shares and you can see the love they have for their family and closest of friends. We love the great lengths they went to in order to DIY their day. Everything from the candle lit mason jars to the hand painted signs showcases just how important it was to make this celebration all about their love and personalities. A true team effort and a celebration of love and family are up ahead.

From the bride, Lindsay…
After about nine months of dating the sweetest, kindest, most disciplined man I have ever met, Michael proposed to me on my 30th birthday. He took me to an apple orchard (which I love) and got down on one knee in the middle of the orchard! We quickly set a date for 8 months out – May 19th, 2012. I always have thought it would be fun to have an outdoor wedding and since we both love being outside, it made sense. Michael's parents live in Red Wing, MN and have a beautiful property with a meadow surrounded by big, ancient trees, complete with a rippling brook right next to it. Someone made a joke about the wedding being there, but that got me thinking-and planning. Soon enough, the joke wasn't a joke anymore! We tried to do as much of the decorating ourselves as we could. My mom, Michael, and bridesmaids were incredibly helpful with everything, and I rounded them up several times for what I called our "Assembly for Assembling". My mom and I made apple jelly as the favor for all the guests, so the bridesmaids and I tied a poem about our engagement in the orchard to them, as well as put a circle on the lid that had our names and date of the wedding. We put invitations and programs together, put a wire around mason jars so we could hang them around the property with a candle in it, and did an insane amount of spray painting. Since we were not at an official venue, we had to bring everything down to the meadow and set it up ourselves. The day or two before, and the day of the wedding, friends and family were incredibly helpful in getting the tables and chairs set up, chandeliers hung, and all the little details put into place. The day was beautiful because of all the gracious help we had. The ceremony and reception were both held in the meadow and I wouldn't have had it any other way! Visiting his parents' house is always a fun occasion that makes us re-live the memories of our special day. I have always said that all the people you love and care about the most are gathered together for you twice; once is at your wedding, and the other is at your funeral. You're only able to participate in one of those events, so you might as well make it what you want it if you're able to! It was a wonderful day!

I like it but frankly it's a bit too long for a sig. You could get banned if DP sees this.

I liked it but I was well weird and fricken cool at the same time. It kinda had meaning but at the same time it did not. But I interpret very different than normal people.

Another piece of writing I did a while back. It was just sitting in my closet collecting dust. I took the time to rewrite and re-edit so I can share it with you all. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
The Conch Shell
The restless ocean licked at the shore, forever trying to get on land, but never gaining much. A beach sat undisturbed, seldom visited because of the numerous rocks that littered the sands. The ground yielded no footprints, nor any signs of human activities in the recent past. But there was an intruder. His feet dragged along the sands as he made his way across the barren landscape. He was in his late fifties, with two clusters of gray hair above his ears. Numerous lines streaked his feature like a scoreboard. His eyes looked ahead, looking but not really seeing. His mind was somewhere far away, somewhere among the past that was taken from him.
The old man stopped to catch his breath. Where was it? He couldn't remember. It had been so long since he came to this desolate part of the world. He glanced about, trying to put his present view with the ones from his past, trying to mark the exact spot where he had made the trade five years ago.
On the ground before him, half buried under the sand was a conch shell. He stooped to pick it up, found the act too painful and plopped himself beside it. The shell was the size of his hand, curvy and hollow, with spikes protruding near the opening. He dug it out and brushed the sand off.
The shell felt light. The old man turned it around in his hands, admiring Nature's handiwork. He placed the shell next to his ear but heard only a low hum. Where is your owner? Why would he abandon such a beautiful home? Now it is just part of the scenery, silent as the rocks and as lifeless.
A hand placed itself on his shoulder. The old man turned his head in surprise and found his friend behind him. He was dressed in black, from his cowboy hat down to his leather boots. His eyes were narrow slits, two horizontal lines carved above chiseled cheeks. A long scarf hung motionless down to his knees, despite the sudden wind that blew in from the ocean. The old man stood up.
"So there you are," said the old man. "I thought I would never see you again."
"How have you been, old man?" The man spoke in whispers, his lips barely moving.
"Bad, my friend. Bad. Full of regrets and dried up tears," the old man replied.
"How is your son? That accident was unfortunate." The man in black said indifferently, a monotonous flow of whispers joining the hollow wind.
"You've been watching me."
"I see all, my friend. What have you come here for?"
The old man looked away as he spoke, not bearing to look into those hard eyes any longer. "I want them back. All of it."
"A deal is a deal, old friend. You can't have them back."
"Yes. I know. But still, I need them!"
"They are nothing. Having them back won't do you any good."
The old man turned to look at the man in black to make his point clear. "I need them! I can't even remember what she looked like."
"I thought I was helping you. I am helping you. Don't you remember the state you were in when you first came to see me?"
The old man grimaced. He remembered, slightly, of the pain.
"Time has changed you, my friend," said the man in black. "You will not survive with them back in your head."
"I think I can, now. It's been so long. Too long."
"What are they, anyway? They are only intangible objects that are of no use to anyone. Believe me, you are better off without them."
"After that day, I couldn't find my place. At first it was good and I was happy ... content, for a while. But everything since had been so confusing, so distorted."
"You are not dealing with it the right way, like I told you. Why didn't you forget about me, old man?"
"That's one thing I couldn't forget."
"Remember how you pleaded me to rid you of them? Remember how hurt you were and how much you wanted them out of your life?"
"Listen to me old man." The whispers grew louder, into a hissing tone. "Forget the past and live with the present!"
"I can't! I can't!" The old man shook his head, his eyes started to swell with tears. "Give them back to me!"
The man in black let out a long sigh. "Your life seemed to me not worth living anymore, friend."
"Can I just have them back, please?"
"Do you remember the deal we made?"
The old man was silent.
"You can have the ones I took back, but you'll need to trade them with something else."
The old man wiped his eyes on his sleeves. He inhaled a deep breath and spoke slowly, "No. I don't want to lose anymore. I am not myself without a past."
The man in black saw the determination in the old man's face.
"Here's the deal, old man. You can trade them with other memories, or you can trade them with your life! What would it be?"
"Don't you feel sorry for this old man?"
"That's the deal, take it or leave it!"
The old man looked down at his feet, the sound of waves now aware to him. He looked back into his life, what's left of it, and made his decision.
"If I can't have them all back, then I can't go on living. I see now that I'd made a mistake."
The slits flickered. "And so have I."
"Take whatever you want from me, except my memories. There's nothing else I treasure."
The was a brief pause. Then the man in black clenched his jaws.
"So be it."
The man turned and walked away, quickly disappearing into the night. The old man watched until he was alone once more. He faced the ocean and looked as far as he could see.
The moon had once again returned to her hiding place. A stretch of waves crashed at his feet. As the ocean withdrew his memories came rushing back at him. They filled every corner of his mind, engulfing him with joy and pain and all the lost feelings he had forgotten. He was no longer empty. He cried, then laughed through the tears as his mind flickered from one vision to another, his heart ignited with mixed emotions, a different feeling for every beat of his heart.
He saw his wife on the couch, smiling as she slept. He saw her laughing, saw her dancing as she swept the floor. She sang all the time, in showers, in bed, while she was cleaning the house. He remembered her voice, like a stream through a forest. He remembered her face, the dimples on her face, her little nose.
Then he remembered how she died. It was his fault, he had broken her heart. The waves of guilt flooded him, drowning him in a sea of anguish. I killed her! I did it! I killed her!
"Kill me now, Collector!" he screamed. "Kill me now or I'll do it myself!"
A cold, chilling wind suddenly circled the old man, whipping the sands around his feet. He fell to the ground, on his knees, letting out a cry. His lung gasped its last breath, his heart beat its last beat, and the waves drew back into the ocean.
As quickly as it came, the wind died. The sands settled to find the old man motionless on the beach, now half buried. Beside him was the conch shell, glinting off the pale light of the moon. It is a hollow shell, part of the scenery, silent as the rocks and as lifeless. Once, it had an owner. Now it lay discarded and useless, strong on the outside but empty within. Eventually, it will be covered by sand, leaving no traces of its existence. The ocean lapped at the shore, waves upon waves into the silent night.

Last week was Headphone Week on soundandvisionmag.com. Six headphones, ranging from noise-cancellers to Bluetooth 'phones to hip-hop-ish cans to tweaked-out audiophile models. Every one of them done up S&V style, with full lab measurements and opinions from multiple listeners.
In case you missed any of them, here they are:
I'm not much of a businessman. (If I were, would I be writing audio reviews for a living?) Still, after years of experience in marketing and advertising, I can't help but admire a good business strategy. That's partly why I like the Harman Kardon NC.
In the context of headphones from women's fashion brands and toy companies, the launch of a new headphone li
TVs are lonely. A beer-soaked barstool at 2 a.m. kind of lonely. They cry out for companionship, their tinny, bass-less voices difficult to hear, even harder to enjoy. When they were young, they held so much promise: high definition, good times, low cost. How quickly came the onset of disappointment?
In the last couple of years, I've heard several speaker manufacturers predict that the increasingly good-sounding $300 products from the likes of Panasonic, Samsung, and Vizio would soon push all the traditional audio companies out of the soundbar biz. But it hasn't happened. This year's CES saw the introduction of several new soundbars from respected brands.
Where was home theater at the 2012 CES? Mostly swamped in a sea of disinterest. Maybe consumers got tired of adding more channels. Maybe they got tired of complexity. Or maybe they're just broke! For whatever reason, the focus at CES 2012 was on simpler systems that minimize complexity without (we hope) minimizing sound quality.
Most recently, he was known as the executive chairman of the merger between Newsweek magazine (which he bought last year) and The Daily Beast.
"He started a business selling FM radios in the 1950s" . . . and now he's running Newsweek magazine! Yes, Sidney Harman, whose 92nd birthday is tomorrow, has bought the ailing publication because, as he quipped to The New York Times, "I think I should stop misspending my youth."
Building A/V receivers might be the toughest job in the audio industry. The technology seems to change on a monthly basis—and if you don't have the latest features you're in big trouble.
Harman Kardon took the wraps off its new flagship receiver, the AVR-7550HD. My photo (at right) is pretty poor, but in fact there's not much to see. This beauty has a completely stealth front panel, with a cool lighted, translucent volume knob. (There are some conventional controls under a flip panel).
Harman Kardon is going to make a splash at CEDIA 2008 in early September with a bevy of new products for the custom installation crowd (and maybe you too!).

Impact, vulnerability and adaptation challenges in Indian Sundarbans For residents of Indian Sundarbans, climate change is now a part of their daily survival battles. While the global negotiations towards mitigation of climate change have remained inconclusive over the years, sea level rise, cyclones, rainfall patterns have kept changing for the worse. Life is much more difficult now and development of the area more expensive. But climate change is not the only culprit for the hardship that people face today. There have been significant failures in development planning and strategies on the part of local and national governments, compromising the capacity of locals to adapt effectively. In absence of planning and institutional support, people have little choice but to adapt on their own. Till now, their only response has been to migrate out, which also underlines the absence of options for the poor to adapt meaningfully.

GM's Q4 operating profit rises 14% to $1.25 billion
GM's international operations -- which includes China, Russia and other emerging markets -- posted a 27 percent increase in fourth-quarter operating income to $473 million, with stronger volumes and pricing offsetting higher costs. Photo credit: BLOOMBERG |

DETROIT -- General Motors posted strong fourth-quarter profits in North America and Asia but wider losses in Europe while recording its third straight profitable year since exiting bankruptcy.
GM posted a net profit of $892 million for the October-December period, up 89 percent from the year-earlier period. That includes several one-time charges and gains that added about $100 million to GM's bottom line.
Excluding those items, GM's operating profit, which the company believes is the best reflection of its underlying performance, rose 14 percent to $1.25 billion.
For the full year, GM's net income was $4.86 billion, down 36 percent from a record $7.59 billion in 2011. Operating income in 2012, before any one-time items, was $7.86 billion, down 5 percent, according to the company's quarterly earnings statement.
GM's results, on an earnings-per-share basis, disappointed Wall Street. After the one-time items, GM earned 48 cents a share during the quarter -- 3 cents less than a survey of analysts conducted by Reuters. GM shares fell 3.3 percent to close the day at $27.72.
'Solid year'
"From every vantage point, 2012 was another solid year for General Motors," GM CEO Dan Akerson told analysts during a conference call.
Despite the growing red ink in Europe, Akerson stood by GM's earlier forecast of reaching breakeven on the troubled continent by the middle of the decade. He expects to finalize a labor deal with German unions by the end of March, a key part of GM's restructuring plan.
"One thing we can't control is the market, but we have certain levers we can pull," Akerson said. "At the same time, we can't just play defense. We're trying to play offense" by entering new segments, including the recent launch of the Opel Mokka small crossover and Adam minicar.
GM's fourth-quarter operating losses in Europe widened to $699 million, from $562 million a year earlier. Losses for the full year grew sharply to $1.8 billion, from $747 million in 2011.
The one-time items in the fourth quarter included: a noncash gain of $34.94 billion from the benefit of the release of most of GM's valuation allowances on U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets, a $26.90 billion goodwill impairment related to that gain, a $5.2 billion impairment of assets in Europe and a $2.2 billion charge related to the buyout of some of its U.S. salaried pension plan.
Global fourth-quarter revenue grew 3 percent to $39.31 billion. For the year, revenue rose 13 percent to $152.26 billion.
North American results
North American operating profit dropped 7 percent in the fourth quarter to $1.40 billion. Full-year profit in the region fell 3 percent to $6.95 billion.
In North America, the drop in fourth-quarter operating profit came as higher costs and weaker pricing outweighed higher volumes and better product mix, including stronger sales of profitable full-sized pickups.
GM CFO Dan Ammann said a busier vehicle-launch schedule pushed fourth-quarter costs higher in North America, but he said that vehicle mix improved "for the first time in a long time." He said that's "a reflection of the new vehicles that we're bringing in and the profitability of those vehicles."
Lower pricing in North America, which shaved about $300 million from operating profit, stemmed from a clearing of inventory of outgoing models, Ammann said.
Overseas earnings
Regarding Europe, Ammann said that he expects conditions to worsen industrywide this year, but reiterated the company's earlier forecast that GM would trim operating losses slightly there in 2013.
GM's international division -- which includes China, Russia and other emerging markets -- posted a 27 percent increase in fourth-quarter operating income to $473 million, as stronger volumes and pricing offset higher costs. For the year, operating profit there rose 15 percent to $2.19 billion.
GM's strongest improvement in the quarter came in South America, where the company swung to a $99 million operating profit from a $225 million loss a year earlier. GM is launching a slate of new or redesigned vehicles in Brazil and other countries. For all of 2012, South America swung to an operating profit of $271 million from an operating loss of $122 million in 2011.
GM Financial's operating profit dropped 14 percent to $146 million in the fourth quarter, but rose 20 percent to $744 million in the full year.
More profits ahead
Ammann said that the accounting change to release GM's valuation allowances on its deferred tax assets signals that GM is confident it will generate enough profits in future years to use those assets. The reserve was created in 2007, when GM was losing billions. U.S. companies can apply losses to future income to reduce tax liability.
"It's a sign that we've established a clear track record of profitability over the last three years," Ammann said, "and it's a reflection of our confidence in the fact that we're going to continue to generate significant profitability in the North American market."
GM also said it will pay its 49,000 hourly employees profit-sharing checks of $6,750.
2013 details
Commenting on 2013, GM said:
Capital spending will be "similar" to the $8.06 billion spent in 2012, which was up 29 percent from 2011.
It doesn't plan any voluntary contributions to the company's U.S. defined pension plans this year. GM said it expects no mandatory contributions to those plans for "at least five years," under current economic conditions. Those plans ended the year 84 percent funded; the underfunded portion stood at $13.1 billion, slightly better than a year earlier.
The recent devaluation of the Venezuelan currency is expected to result in a $200 million unfavorable special item in the first quarter.
