New Girl Video: Watch Schmidt's Online Dating Video (and Head For the Hills, Ladies)
What happens when a smarmy bachelor who answers to the nickname "douche bag" makes an online dating video? Well, when the cad in question is Schmidt (Max Greenfield) from New Girl, you better believe the resulting vid is going to scream "nimrod power tool overload."
The circa '2008 clip — which was "leaked" to YouTube early Monday — is embedded below for your viewing pleasure. I think you'll agree it's so obnoxious it's damn-near perfect.

This intrigues me. HD remakes of the original 7 games if the first goes well, plus all new titles being planned? This is how it's done, folks.
This intrigues me. HD remakes of the original 7 games if the first goes well, plus all new titles being planned? This is how it's done, folks.
Josh didn't, but Al Lowe himself did. Alpha planned release date announced, final release date in April.
I can't wait to see the box cover art. I always loved the Larry boxes.
Also looking forward to the new music. I have a lot of Larry themes on my phone in midi format. Apparently the Larry Reloaded team is going to be making available the entire new Larry Reloaded music soundtrack (live recording) on iTunes.
It's exciting that a whole new generation of players (on iPhones, android, tablets and of course pc's) is going to be introduced to the true Leisure Suit Larry.
It's open for anybody to see.
I'd like to add that I'm skeptical as to the progress (my skepticism comes from them junking work done by one development team and starting with another one), not the final game. With all the talented people working on it, I'm sure it will be a great game (I doubt Al Lowe and Josh Mandel would let it go out any other way, and they seem to have full control on this now).
We'll find out how far along the game is (those who are at pledges high enough to test the alpha at least) once the alpha is released on February 16th. Hopefully it does end up cooling the flames regarding the rocky development cycle rather than igniting them further.
Yeah, sorry. Can't find a smaller version.
It does look like someone just cobbled it together in their lunchbreak though, doesn't it?
Wow.... I really hope that logo is not indicative of anything else in the game. It looks like the title gif from a geocities page where the webmaster just got photoshop 1.0 and learned some text effects.
I guess we are lucky the are primarily redrawing things, and not designing new things. At this point though, I am fearful of how the new girl will look. If this title is anything to go by, I suspect she will look like this:
Background art from the game:
Sorry, Exo, but you are really stretching it trying to find something to use as a way to post negativity about the game. Face it, they are going to deliver a great game. Let's see what negative comment about the game you will try to come up with next. You have a habit of going out of your way to try to put down this game, even comparing the Larry team unfavorably to the amateur (though impressive) Infamous Quests team. Nothing wrong with your being an IQ fanboy, but it seems like you are jealous of the professional Larry team or something. Must drive you bonkers to see those beautiful background scenes. Oh, and just wait till you see the character Fawn. Hear that art is stunning. I bet you will be stuttering trying to come up with a negative comment, but you will be lost and will have no choice but to go back to being a troll on various message boards.

Skin Care Habits to Ward Off Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a very serious threat to anybody's health. You may have lived in a cold country all your life, still this is no guarantee that you will not incur the dreaded melanoma. While many simply disregard this illness and still willingly expose themselves to the sunlight in a daily basis, the recorded number of casualties of this difficult malady should be a wake up call to all. So, if you do not wish to let the sun's UV rays get into your nerves (literally), there are some useful skin care tips that might be of use to you.
The most basic habit that can ward off melanoma in the long run is the regular use of sun block lotions. You have to see if the cream you are about to use has an SPF of at least 30 or higher for better protection. Take note that you have to apply it unto your skin at least thirty minutes before going outside into the sunshine as it takes a while before this cosmetic application can be effective. In addition, do not overlook the welfare of your lips by using lip balm. By using a cosmetic item of this kind that contains SPF, not only can you prevent your lip from being sunburned but also add moisturisers to keep them supple and soft. Also, do not leave the hat behind as you are to exit from your residence. Apart from covering your face, a hat actually shields your scalp from the heat of the sun, which can be a major cause of dandruff too. And take note to avoid going out from 10 AM to 2 PM as the sun's UV rays are at its worst at these times.

Last year's statewide elections weren't exactly a boon to Tea Party loyalists, but perhaps the impending city council elections in Colorado Springs will provide a second chance. United by a hatred of spending proposals, candidate and anti-tax activist Douglas Bruce and four other like-minded candidates for at-large council seats have each pitched in $10,000 to push what they refer to as a Reform Team (Gazette [2]). None of the other contenders have raised that kind of cash, notes the Colorado Springs Independent [3], which adds that icoloradosprings.org [4] has launched another postcard project, this time for the city's mayoral election—though not all the messages [5] are particularly constructive.
Denver interim mayor Bill Vidal is also facing criticism for locking the public out of budgetary task force meetings, reports Westword [6]. Mayoral candidates Chris Romer and Michael Hancock are taking him to task (Colorado Independent [7]), while James Mejía, another candidate as well as a former member of the Denver School Board, is urging the state's Joint Budget Committee to restore some of the $375 million Governor John Hickenlooper has cut from public education (also via the Colorado Independent [8]).

Nov 22 2012 by Nick Hilton, The Liverpool Post
MANAGER Ronnie Moore will attempt to bolster his depleted Tranmere squad with a couple of reinforcements before the 2012 deadline for loan signings closes on Thursday.
Moore says he is anxious to recruit a striker and a wide midfielder to give his League One table toppers additional attacking and creative options.
But Moore concedes Rovers are unlikely to be able to afford the experienced players he wants most. The constraints of working with one of the lowest budgets in the division mean he will have to select from younger and inexperienced players on the fringes of Premier League and Championship squads.
Moore said: "We have identified players with experience we would like to sign but we can't afford the money they are on. It looks as if no one is going to help us.
"We are still trying but it looks like we will have to bring in younger players who've maybe had one or two first-team games. We are looking for a wide man and someone with pace up front."
If Tranmere can't make signings by tonight they will have to wait until the opening of the January transfer window.
However, after tonight, the players at Prenton Park on long-term youth loans -- Jake Cassidy, Liam Palmer and Ben Gibson -- can be called back by their clubs at any time.
Moore said: "Wolves could call back Cassidy after Thursday, so we need to have a backup."
Cassidy, Tranmere's 10 goal leading marksman, is certain to return to Molineux in early January and the arrangements covering midfielder Palmer (from Sheffield Wednesday) and centre back Gibson (from Middlesbrough) run out at the turn of the year.
Moore is not expecting to have pacey front man Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro, the victim of a metatarsal injury, available until mid-January while winger Abdulai Bell-Baggieis facing a two-month layoff with a medial ligament injury.
Joe Thompson hopes to be back in first-team contention within a couple of weeks after sustaining a thigh injury in last week's FA Cup win at Braintree Town.
Skipper James Wallace, who missed Tuesday's goalless draw at home to Walsall with a virus, hopes he will be fit for the weekend trip to Stevenage, although centre back Ash Taylor expects to miss out through suspension after picking up his fifth booking of the season against the Saddlers.
Rovers had a loan signing Nathan Eccleston on the bench for the Walsall game but Moore was unable to use him after the former Liverpool player aggravated a hamstring strain during the warm-up.
Eccleston will be returning to Blackpool, having made only one appearance during his loan spell Prenton Park. Moore said: "Perhaps we will look at him again when he is fit."
Meanwhile defender Mark McChrystal began a month on loan with Scunthorpe on Tuesday. The 28 year old from Northern Ireland has not played a first team game for Tranmere this season. Will Vaulks, an 19-year-old defender, is due to sign for Workington this week after his contract with Rovers was cancelled.
Tranmere retained their two-point lead at the head of the division on Tuesday because none of the top seven sides could post a victory.
However, Rovers below par performance, which left them without a win in the last four outings at Prenton Park, provoked some booing from a section of the crowd, which disappointed Moore.
Moore said: We didn't have that spark, it was like we were waiting for things to happen.
"I can't ask any more from the lads. I think one or two of them were very surprised at the reaction from the crowd at the end.
"The players have been fantastic; I've got nothing but praise for them. They're on their last legs. We all want Wallace to play, we all want Akpa Akpro to play and we all want Bell-Baggie to play, but to boo them, it astounds me.
"You pay your money and you're entitled to say what you think. Probably if I'd paid to watch it I'd have given a boo now and then and then gone home and thought they've done well and did I really need to boo them.
"You can't keep playing the way we've played when you're swapping and changing and other teams are finding it the same. It's not that easy because none of the top seven won.
"I'm gutted we didn't win the game but we've got to get on with it. Energy wise and effort wise they gave everything, ability wise and decision wise in some areas we weren't right."

Like a journalist, Tatara documents the settings of dynamic culture. Growing up in Western Hungary, he sketched neighbors' rooftops, cobblestone paths, and apartment dwellings. Today, the vision of Tatara's artwork parallels that of early American "plein aire" artists who explored their environments. "Watercolor has such an ability to create moods of atmosphere, both exotic and familiar, and each completely unique to that moment's circumstances," he says. Tatara illustrates the beauty in the subdued color combinations of a cityscape while capturing the state of flux that our civilization knows so well.
View all of Tatara's work.
In a warm climate the shaded public arena offers caverns for leisure. Handsomely dressed figures seem to pose beside the noble order of architecture. Who cannot notice the grande portals that, by the way, house nothing, serving instead the greater purpose of drama? These openings pull Tatara further into the city.

Based on a true story, Gaby Rodriguez (Alexa Vega) is the brave 18-year-old high school student who forces her school and community to confront its preconceptions about teen pregnancy. When Gaby chooses stereotyping for her senior project, she decides to experience it firsthand. Confiding in her mother (Judy Reyes), her boyfriend (Walter Perez) and a handful of others, Gaby begins her social experiment in which she tells her friends, family and teachers that she is pregnant. While her fake baby bump continues to grow, she carefully records how she is treated and what is being said about her--for better and for worse--both in and out of school. With her project's findings conclusive, Gaby emotionally addresses her fellow students and their teachers about stereotyping and teen pregnancy during a special school assembly and then shocks them by ripping off her "baby bump," revealing she was never pregnant at all and teaching them a valuable lesson.

I hope you enjoyed our premiere last week, especially after such a long wait. I'm having a hard time remembering juicy stories from this episode because we shot it nine months ago! Or maybe I'm blocking the whole experience out because it was around the time of the Super Bowl. Those of you who have traversed this blog before know that I am from Chicago, which means I have an unquestioning and undying love for the Bears. It's probably not healthy for me to revisit that time in my life, although the current season really isn't much better for my psyche.In "Chemical Reactions," Jack and Lynn are planning for their wedding, as are Annie and Patrick.

Surprising Uses for Your Dishwasher
22 items you can put in a dishwasher, 13 you shouldn't, plus how to cook salmon in it.
Things You Can Put in the Dishwasher
Baseball caps can get bent in the washing machine but hold their shape in the dishwasher, especially inside a contraption like the Ball
Cap Washer ($7.50, amazon.com). Don't wash them with dishes; food can get trapped in the cloth.
Action figures and other small toys can ride in a mesh lingerie bag on the top rack (but don't wash Barbie or she'll have a horrible hair day).

Absolutely horrible experience. Checked in and checked out within 1 hour because I had no idea the hotel was actually inside of a large office style building / old hospital and would not appear to be a hotel at all. It was a mix between a hospital, office building, and small section at the end of a hallway with some rooms they refer to as a hotel. The wifi (internet) did not work on my phone or on my computer. There was hair left on the shower floor and the room had a foul odor. The bathroom was tiny and disgusting - far from what you would expect in a hotel. I found out later that this used to in fact be a hospital which explained a lot. I checked myself into a Courtyard Marriott about 15 minutes away in Coral Springs for $100 more and stayed in a real hotel with no problems and a very pleasant experience. I had no problem paying for the first night at this hotel since it was a last minute cancellation due to the horrible condition of the hotel and the fact I didn't want to stay any longer than I already had. I didn't even unpack!! However, I figured they would in good faith do the right thing and refund me for the additional two nights that I was not staying. Nope. After waiting to speak with Carma, the manager, and allegedly the only person who can handle credits/refunds/and complaints (5 days of "she is on the other line", "she is with a guest", "she is out of the office", "she'll call you back", etc), I have given up!! I have never had a difficult time speaking with a manager about an issue at any hotel before. I have been unable to reach Carma (954-784-1111 ext 1007) since 11/04 (it's now 11/11) and in my opinion, unacceptable, unprofessional, and a poor way to run a business!! Do yourself a favor and find a different "hotel" or just choose the Courtyard Marriott which is fairly close and in a much better area.
*11/14: Update: Carma finally returned my calls, however, claimed she never received any messages other than 1 voicemail, claims I never checked out, claims there are no problems with the property, and lastly, refuses to give any refund towards my 3 night stay that I checked in and checked out within the first hour of being there. What a joke this place is!!

text: On November 23, 1996, in El Paso, Gomez fatally shot an 18-year old man and two 16-year old boys with a 357-caliber pistol. Gomez observed the three walking down the road near his mother's residence. Gomez thought they were the ones who had broken into his mother's residence. He and three codefendants got into a fight with the boys and Gomez shot the three repeatedly in the head, then buried them in the sand dunes in the desert.

Throughout the day, players – past and present – of the Philadelphia Eagles responded through various electronic media in response to the Riley Cooper video. Some of the reactions were quite authentic, such as this reaction from Leonard Weaver:
Leonard Weaver @LeonardWeaver 3h
I'm just getting home from the movies and I got an alert about Riley Cooper………All I can say is wow…..
Leonard Weaver @LeonardWeaver 3h
I'll comment in the morning concerning this matter. However it's a bit surprising.
Some were more forgiving
Riley's my friend Our relationship is mutual respect. He looked me in the eyes and apologized. I believe in forgiveness and I believe in him
While some were not as forgiving:
Hollis Thomas @darealtank78 4h
@CLedz13 they (comments from Riley Cooper and Marcus Vick) are both horrible but Cooper is on the Team and Marcus is a spectator
But the quote of the day came from the emerging leader of the team, Jason Avant, who shared, "With this incident, does it hurt? Yes it does. But I still will deal with it as a Christian and I will always err on the side of mercy, because I know that in the end, God is gonna hold me responsible, because He's had mercy on me. So I should have mercy on someone else."
Mercy on us all, Jason.

Vin Gris is the Burgundian name for a delicate pink wine made from Pinot Noir. Ours is a vin gris saigné, a wine made from juice "bled" from the Pinot Noir tanks before the fermentations begin.
Grapes which come in from vineyards where yield was slightly higher than normal become candidates for saigné. Removing juice has the effect of concentrating what remains in the tank – less liquid, but the same amount of skins, and therefore, color and tannin.
We take the juice we've run off – it's pale pink and very tasty – and put it into older French oak barrels to ferment.
The Vin Gris finishes malo-lactic in barrel and after a modest amount of barrel age the result is a dry, complex, flavorful wine.
The dumb name comes later.
Saintsbury specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay is fermented and aged in barrels coopered in Burgundy. Three styles of Pinot Noir are produced: "Garnet" is a fresh, lively wine full of cherry and raspberry fruit; the wine simply called Carneros Pinot Noir is a more classic rendition; and the Reserve Pinot Noir is the richest and most fully flavored of the vintage.
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Notable Facts Both Chardonnay...Read More About Carneros

In Ixion music and party are our only beliefs. Darkness is our comfort. We have few rules but they are absolute . . .
Retra doesn't want to go to Ixion, the island of ever-night, ever-youth and never-sleep. Retra is a Seal – sealed minds, sealed community. She doesn't crave parties and pleasure, experience and freedom.
But her brother Joel left for Ixion two years ago, and Retra is determined to find him. Braving the intense pain of her obedience strip to escape the only home she's ever known, Retra stows away on the barge that will take her to her brother.
When she can't find Joel, Retra finds herself drawn deeper into the intoxicating world of Ixion. Come to me, whispers a voice in her head. Who are the Ripers, the mysterious guardians of Ixion? What are the Night Creatures Retra can see in the shadows? And what happens to those who grow too old for Ixion?
Retra will find that Ixion has its pleasures, but its secrets are deadly. Will friendship, and the creation of an eternal bond with a Riper, be enough to save her from the darkness?
Listen well, baby bats. Burn bright, but do not stray from the paths. Remember, when you live in a place of darkness you also live with creatures of the dark.

Cover Reveal and Book Trailer: Night Creatures Series by Marianne de Pierres
13 comments:
Aw. I'm not a fan of these new covers at all, unfortunately. The old covers were brilliant and so original and cool and vibrant, and these just look like pretty much any old self-published novel. I'm disappointed. :(
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Blythe, I liked the old covers better. These are just so similar to so many covers that they don't stand out like the old ones did. I like the book trailer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kara and Lyn!
Unfortunately the Random House/Kubicki wonderful covers weren't financially feasible. We've done the best we could :)
best wishes
MarianneOh no, what a shame about these covers - they don't convey the feeling of this amazing series at all. I worry that readers will dismiss these books because of the covers. The Aussie ones are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI don't know Lyn, I'm personally not a fan, I think I like the original covers. I've interviewed Marianne de pierres and personally a fan of The Night Creatures Series, I've dedicated a few post on Marianne as I did an Australia Day Feature with Australian YA Authors :)

A few days before his passing, George Carlin spoke to Jerry Seinfeld and expressed relief at the recent deaths of Tim Russert and Bo Diddley because it meant he was safe for a while. Carlin paid for this gross misunderstanding of The Rule of Three with his life, but Seinfeld got a decent story out of it, which he turned into what's actually a pretty good remembrance of the legendary comedian.

Lower health insurance premiums to come at cost of fewer choices
The New York Times, September 23, 2013
WASHINGTON — Federal officials often say that health insurance will cost consumers less than expected under President Obama's health care law. But they rarely mention one big reason: many insurers are significantly limiting the choices of doctors and hospitals available to consumers. From California to Illinois to New Hampshire, and in many states in between, insurers are driving down premiums by restricting the number of providers who will treat patients in their new health plans. When insurance marketplaces open on Oct. 1, most of those shopping for coverage will be low- and moderate-income people for whom price is paramount.

The short answer: Yes, but don't expect highs in the 60s until next weekend.
Anyone who spent time outdoors on Saturday knows how blustery it was wind speeds at the Boise Airport reached 46 mph, according to the National Weather Service. Saturday was better, with peak winds at about 20 mph.
High temperatures for the weekend were running about 10 degrees below normal. The high Sunday was 58, and that was right after midnight. The high during the rest of the day was 52.
Temperatures dipped down to 25 on Sunday morning, and it could be close to that on Monday morning. The forecast shows it will be about 28.
The weather pattern that we're currently in will keep temperatures in the low-50s through Wednesday, with overnight lows in the low-30s. There may be a warm-up on Thursday, with temperatures rising into the 60s.
Though Friday may be cloudy and rainy, next weekend's forecast shows sunny skies, light winds and highs in the mid-60s to possibly 70.

S5 January 23, 2009 Niagara at Siena (Metro Atlantic) Times Union Center - Albany, NY Saturday, 12:00 PM EST One of the most honored traditions on this site is to spread the G!O!T!N! goodness around. Focusing on a small group of teams is what the traditionalists do, but TMM likes to keep things as complicated as poss... [more] |
S5 January 15, 2009 The State of College Basketball is a new-esque ratings system that uses a lot of good basketball sense, per-game team performance ratings and degradation of older results to rank the teams from No. 1 to 344 (here's the long-winded version). In its overall form, it retroactively picked three of the F... [more] |
S5 December 10, 2008 The State of College Basketball is a brand-new ratings system that uses a lot of good basketball sense, per-game team performance ratings and degradation of older results to rank the teams from No. 1 to 344 (here's the long-winded version).

S4 March 17, 2008 Bullet Points In the final final in mid-majordom, Texas-Arlington emerged as surprise Southland champs. All hail! We had 78 entries into our "guess-the-play-in-matchup" contest on Saturday, and not a single correct answer. The correct pairing, as we all know now, is Coppin State (MEAC) against Moun... [more] |
S4 March 11, 2008 ALBANY, N.Y. -- The thing that people don't get from television is how hot it is inside a court-storming. I mean, it's sweltering and blistering (and a little humid) in there with all the body heat and kinetic energy. Oh, and loud too. Inside a court-storming, you'll find a sound that can never be... [more] |
S4 March 10, 2008 Bullet Points All hail Drake, double-champions of the Missouri Valley Conference. Not only did the Bulldogs capture their first MVC tourney ever, it was the first time in 10 years the regular season champs survived Arch Madness. Four finals tonight: we'll have autobids delivered in the Colonial, Me... [more] |
S4 March 9, 2008 Bullet Points Three autobids were given out yesterday. All hail mighty Winthrop of the Big South, Austin Peay of the Ohio Valley Conference, and the Atlantic Sun's Belmont.

S4 March 8, 2008 Bullet Points Today, three autobids to the NCAA Tournament will be awarded! The Big South, Ohio Valley and Atlantic Sun will crown champions. The No. 6 was a lucky number yesterday -- surprising Tennessee State moved to the finals of the OVC, Northern Iowa upset No. 3 Southern Illinois in the MVC, ... [more] |
S4 February 23, 2008 CHARLOTTE -- That was fun. Yesterday, we proved conclusively that you can talk about mid-major basketball for six hours and that the topic will attract a couple thousand questions, not the six or seven most people would expect. There were a lot of awesome questions about everything from hoops to the... [more] |
S4 February 21, 2008 JACKSONVILLE -- Lots and lots to get to today with a full slate of red-hot mid-major action, but first I wanted to pimp n' plug tomorrow's Gigantic BracketBusters Marathon Chat on ESPN.com. There are always hundreds of people who don't get their questions attended to during the regular Wednesday dea... [more] |
S4 February 19, 2008 DELAND, Fla. -- Last night on press row at Florida A&M in Tallahassee, my inbox full of nasty notes from Penn fans (more about that later on), I was reminded once again about the key differences between Ivy League and MEAC basketball. And there are differences, even though both conferences would... [more] |
S4 February 12, 2008 PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- We'll get to all the Bally ephemera tomorrow, promise, but we're mulling over the BracketBusters TV announcement from yesterday.

S4 February 6, 2008 As is tradition here at TMM, we've put together a full rundown of all 50 announced BracketBusters matchups.

S4 February 5, 2008 VALPARAISO, Ind. -- We're in Day Two of the annual Super Bowl info-moratorium, the first time in seven years we've made it through until Tuesday without knowing any details of the "big game" or who won. It's a combination of old-fashioned obliviousness and modern technology that's making this happen... [more] |
S4 January 31, 2008 DENTON, Tex. -- While making the long drive up I-45, which is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about, I was pondering the names we give things. A lot of them don't quite fit, and bleed into general use because once people have agreed on a title for something, it's tough to get everybod... [more] |
S4 January 29, 2008 The State of College Basketball is a brand-new ratings system that uses a lot of good basketball sense, per-game team performance ratings and degradation of older results to rank the teams from No. 1 to 341 (here's the long-winded version). In its overall form, it retroactively picked three of the F... [more] |
S4 January 28, 2008 HOUSTON -- I was thinking over the weekend, while I wasn't at any games, about all the games I go to. A total of 57 games so far this year, headed for yet another 100-game season. Having done 100 twice now, it's tough to find triple-digit motivation anymore. Need to turn it into some kind of contest... [more] |
S4 January 25, 2008 PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- I tried to make it simple, I tried to offer the sound-bite answer. I tried to simplify things on the far side of complexity, because 'tis a gift to be simple. But I attempted to shave with Occam's razor, but ended up having to wear a small piece of toilet paper, attached with spit... [more] |

S4 January 22, 2008 SAN JOSE -- We were too busy putting the weekend's results into a semi-digestible package, as is Monday tradition, so we're hopelessly late on the latest big coaching news from the WCC. If you haven't heard already, Vance Walberg "resigned" suddenly on Jan. 18. Since then, more of the story's come o... [more] |
S4 January 7, 2008 Manhattan at Marist (Metro Atlantic) McCann Recreation Center - Poughkeepsie, NY 7:30 PM EST It could be argued that these schools are the two from the MAAC that have received the most national attention in recent years -- Manhattan for its NCAA first-round victory over Florida in 2004 (wh...

S4 December 28, 2007 CARBONDALE, Ill. -- The end of the holiday season means the end of holiday music, and thank gosh for that. The world doesn't need another imaginative reinterpretation of Irving Berlin (much less a hip-hop one), and I've long held that the sound of recorded sleigh bells sounds just like fingernails a... [more] |
S4 December 16, 2007 You usually meet the best people by accident, and often in the strangest places. I made the acquaintance of John Kuchar in a PayPal complaint box -- he had subscribed to Basketball State last month but some stray binaries kept his account from being activated. Once that was ironed out, he told me ab... [more] |
S4 December 6, 2007 Valparaiso at Wright State (Horizon) Ervin J. Nutter Center - Dayton, OH 7:00 PM EST An embarrassment of small-conference league-game riches tonight. Among other contests, we've got Sacred Heart at CCSU in the NEC, ambitious Morehead State will take on league champs Austin Peay in the OVC... [more] |
S4 November 29, 2007 HIGH POINT, N.C. -- In a world of Bill Simmons this and Dennis Miller that, there is no worse crime than blowing a pop culture reference. You know what I'm talking about. I think all of us, at one time, have tried to pass ourselves off as having seen a movie (by looking at the list of quotes on iMDB... [more] |
S3 March 28, 2007 PAWTUCKET, R.I., Mar. 28 -- All animate organisms, from the globbiest amoeba to the most intricate human machine, share one thing in common: life.

S3 March 10, 2007 Bullet Points Holy Cross is back in the NCAA Tournament after beating Bucknell in the third consecutive Bison-Crusader title game. It's not a rivalry unless both teams get to win. Nevada was sent out of the WAC tourney with a freaky foul moment against Utah State. In other No. 4-over-1 action, Toled... [more] |
S3 March 9, 2007 Bullet Points Most action played according to seed yesterday, but there were a few upsets: Morgan State over South Carolina State in the MEAC's 4-5 game, and both low seeds won in the SWAC, including No. 6 Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Yeah, there were a couple of pretty surprising upsets too. Lamar knocked ... [more] |
S3 March 8, 2007 Bullet Points Central Connecticut State from the NEC is going dancing, and so is Weber State of the Big Sky. Both are double champions of their respective leagues, and both just plain rock. No autobids tonight. Deep breath... No surprises in the MAC quarters, or the SWAC and MEAC early rounds, but ...

S3 March 7, 2007 Bullet Points Wright State are double-champions of the Horizon League, having beaten a Butler team that's been all up in the national grill this season.

S3 February 12, 2007 BALTIMORE -- OK, OK, OK, OK. I've read your e-mails, I've received your calls and media inquiries.

Let's get the easy punchline out of the way first: Ther... [more] |

S3 January 25, 2007 BOONE, N.C. -- As of press time, 63 of the available 100 entries in Bally's BracketBusters Racket, the only contest in the world that lets you choose all 51 BB matchups, have been snapped up (the limit is in place 'cause I'll be hand-validating the entries, but call it a "soft cap"). Remember: the d... [more] |
S3 January 22, 2007 CULLOWHEE, N.C. -- Lots to get to today, just like every Monday. And if you haven't signed up to play Bally's BracketBusters Racket yet, you have a lot more to get to than I do.

S3 January 19, 2007 PAWTUCKET, R.I. -- No mailbag this week, because quite frankly most of the letters this week were way too personal.

S3 January 16, 2007 NEW ORLEANS -- We discussed this a little yesterday, but there's a growing drumbeat sounding across Hoops Nation; thunder in the distance, if you will. I'm talking, of course, about the potential fall from grace by the sore thumb in our midst, the eternal oddball, the one voted Most Likely To Succee... [more] |
S3 January 11, 2007 NATCHITOCHES, La. -- Let's begin today with dispatches from television's hottest mid-season replacement, "How Weird Was My Valley." Kyle, are the Sycamores really this good?

S3 January 4, 2007 HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- Just a reminder: make sure you get in on the action as The Mid-Majority expands its feature list in 2007 in return for warm, soft cash.

S3 November 25, 2006 CHICAGO - The holiday season. What a putrid, disgusting thing it's become.

S2 April 9, 2006 INDIANAPOLIS, Apr. 2 -- There are huge signs all over town -- on airport walls, strung over streetlights, over the main gate to the RCA Dome. They all read, "The Road Ends Here."

S2 February 6, 2006 When Old Dominion drew Marist in the BracketBusters Presented by The Mid-Majority event, it seemed like a slap in the face, an insult, a punishment for not living up to the hype.

Friday, March 4, 2005

S1 January 20, 2005 Colonial: Old Dominion 67, Hofstra 66 (story) - As was the case in their recent squeaker against Drexel, Old Dominion raced out to a big lead and then hit the cruise control button too early.

High School Advising
Mustard Seed School prepares students for the transition to high school both academically and socially.
The process of applying to high school can be a daunting one with so many options to choose from in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area. A core staff of Mustard Seed School teachers, the school social worker and the Upper School administrators work with the students and their parents in different capacities to help them navigate finding a high school that is a good fit for the student and the family.
The high school application process formally starts with an informational meeting in the Spring for current 6th and 7th grade parents. This meeting provides details about the process as well as information about the various high schools in the area. In the fall, the junior high teachers and the school social worker guide the students through the various applications and alert students to different test dates required for admission to both public and private schools. Mustard Seed provides weekly notification about upcoming open houses and informational meetings for various high schools. The school provides at least one weekend day of intensive test preparation for any student interested.
In addition, in early October, the core staff meets with each 8th grade parent(s) to assist the family in finding a high school for their child. One of the key questions that parent(s) answer during this meeting is: 'If you could design an ideal high school for your child, what would it look like?' At Mustard Seed, we value community and knowing each child. The school focuses on each child's potential, encompassing both his/her strengths as well as areas of needed growth. The answers from the meetings with parents and our years of knowledge about each child help guide the overall process.
Our students have been accepted and attend quality high schools.
