Shortfall in California's Budget Swells to $16 Billion
Original post made by @Resident on May 12, 2012
Web Link
I have no problem with paying more taxes. But I am 100% sure that it will not solve the deficit problem. The pressure groups will force the government to spend the extra income in new programs. What do you think?

More alarmist talk from Moonbeam.
If the average school class size goes back up to what it was 30 years ago, the world will not fall apart (it didn't then!). If we don't get high speed rail, is that a disaster? If public employee unions are outlawed, as both both FDR and Reagan implored, that is a huge win for most of us. If we don't fund public libraries, but use the Internet, instead, so what? And... so much more in the same sense.
The one thing that will avoid a serious look at how our state does business, is to give it more money via taxes. A one word warning: Greece. Just say NO!!!

"If public employee unions are outlawed, as both both FDR and Reagan implored"
Nice rewrite of history.
It was REAGAN who signed the California law, as governor, legislation that established collective bargaining for all the state's municipal and country employees.
Also famously said: "...where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost."
St Ronnie couldn't get elected dog-catcher in today's republican party.
Guess who...
* had been a Socialism-loving Democrat for 13 years before becoming a Republican?
* had once been a member of a Far Left wing organization that was on an FBI watch list for being Communistic?
* had been a union leader- for one of the largest unions in the country?
* later became an FBI informant, secretly reporting on his former friends?
* became involved with corrupt mob-connected unions?
* had signed into law a sweeping anti-gun bill for his state?
* had signed into the largest single tax increase in the history of any state in the US- $1 billion in one step?
* brought both moderates and liberals into his campaign and after victory gave them top jobs in his administration?
* had, as governor, signed legislation that established collective bargaining for all the state's municipal and country employees?
* had once declared that civil right legislation must be enforced " at the point of a bayonet if necessary"?
* supported Affirmative Action?
on May 12, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Reagan fired PATCO strikers...enough said on that subject. The world did not fall apart, either.
Do the right thing, and vote NO on Moonbeam's demand for even more money from California citizens!

Stephen King once wrote: "I recognize terror as the finest emotion and so I will try to terrorize the reader. But if I find that I cannot terrify… I'll go for the gross out." So it goes in The Daylight Gate, the new novel from Lambda Literary Award winner Jeanette Winterson, which takes as its inspiration the Pendle Hill witch trials of 1612. If the historical narrative doesn't always terrify, it never fails to gross out.
In the English county of Lancashire, "known for its witches," a wealthy widow named Alice Nutter is accused of allowing a group of women to practice their dark arts on her land. The witches are locked away in a dank and miserable tower to await trial, while Nutter is brought face to face with her infernal past; at different points in her life, she had been involved with a fugitive Catholic priest and another woman who may have sold her soul to Satan — the "Dark Gentleman." Her uncannily alchemic youthfulness, despite her age, is not a good way to avoid the witch hunters.
A story framed around a witch trial is always an effective vehicle for allegory, because the witches can represent any source of unfounded fear or mass hysteria; think Arthur Miller mirroring the Red Scare in The Crucible. Here, though, the corollary is even closer, as the suspicion of witches goes hand in hand with James I's suspicion of Catholics. At the time, England was still reeling from the Gunpowder Plot, an attempt by a group of Catholics to blow up Parliament and help return the country to Catholicism. "Witchery popery, popery witchery," is the refrain of one the most zealous witch hunters, and Winterson deftly weaves human wickedness with theological concerns. She writes of one of the accused, while locked in her cell: "She thinks of Hell, and is it like this? She thinks that the punishments of the Fiend are made out of human imaginings. Only humans can know what it means to strip a human being of being human."
This is not realist fiction: the witches here are actually witches, and they reanimate lifeless boiled heads, cause spiders to talk and cast hexes with the best of them. But it's the un-supernatural human naughtiness — the constant medieval mistreatment that many of the characters are subjected to — that really turns the stomach (in a good way, if you're into that sort of thing.) In the king's torture chambers lie the gross-outs; I'll refrain from excerpting, but let's just say that you don't want to spend much time in the "rat room."
The plot name-checks many historical figures who were involved in the trial — even William Shakespeare makes an appearance — and with such a large coven populating such a slim book, the narrative never quite lifts off on its broomstick. But the imagery here can sometimes carry the show, and Winterson's Lancashire, a place "alive in its black-and-green coat cropped like an animal pelt," is a haunting place indeed.
Nicholas Mancusi is a writer in New York.

Becoming a parent to your parent can be an emotional draining process. 8% of baby boomers parents have moved in with them. Nancy Naeve Brown talked with a social worker at Avera Prince of Peace who says if that isn't a viable option for your family, you should consider a retirement community with a continuum of care.
Social Worker at Avera Prince of Peace Amanda Taylor says, "I think timing is so huge. I see so many families in my office in crisis because mom and dad are in the hospital and the need to find placement as soon as possible. If families can plan ahead and come out and do tours and get mom and dads ideas on where they might want to live. It can make a huge difference.
Q: I think most of our parents think they are going to stay in their house forever. How do you impress upon them it's not in their best interest and safety to stay there?
A: There are things you can look for like are they having trouble with memory, personal hygiene or maybe when you are riding in a car with them you see signs that this isn't a safe thing anymore.
Q: What does Avera Prince of Peace have to offer?
A: Our continuum of care is great. If your loved one, your parents are at 2 different levels of care, Avera Prince of Peace offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, Long-Term Care and we have a Rehab unit.
Q: So if they start at one level of care and need to move to a different one it is easier right?
A: Yes. Mom and dad can be in 2 different locations and visit each other all under the same roof."

University of Bradford student denies sex assault on fellow student
7:00am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Jenny Loweth, T&A Reporter
A student at the University of Bradford fell to his knees and begged forgiveness for "the devil at work inside me" after sexually assaulting a fellow student, a jury heard.
Babtunde Osiefa told police his toe got caught in the young woman's trousers, pulling them down, prosecutor Sophie Drake said.
Osiefa, 30, a business management student, denies sexually assaulting the woman after pushing her onto his bed when she went round to "talk and chill" last February 26.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told police she met Osiefa in the street near the university about a month before the alleged attack and he asked for her phone number.
She repeatedly told him she did not want a relationship.
When she went round to his flat, she said he dragged her out of a chair, pushed her down on the bed and pulled down her trousers.
"I was shouting and saying 'Get off me, get off me'," she said.
She told how she was crying and punching him in the head.
He held her down by the neck and sexually assaulted her, she said.
She said she tried to open the door to get out but it was locked.
The court heard he shook the keys in front of her face.
She said Osiefa, whose home address is Oak Court, Cann Hall Road, East London, then got down on his knees.
"He was crying and he said he was sorry and it was the devil inside him," she said.
After about 15 minutes, he let her out but he followed her along the road until she threatened to call the police, the jury heard.
Miss Drake said Osiefa was arrested on March 3 and told officers his toe got caught in the woman's trousers when they fell on the bed. He denied that he sexually assaulted her.
The trial continues.

What's going on with this - I don't have an option for Daylight as a boundary.....using the same assembly as usual so I must be missing something very obvious but can't see it.......
Solved! Go to Solution.
I've had this before too, I just worked around it. What I did was create a polyline boundary by copying the surface with the border turned on and then exploding it. Then add the boundary that way..
Might want to offset the border by .1 or .01 or something like that too..
dibr0804 wrote:
..... by copying the surface with the border turned on and then exploding it. ......
FYI....you can extract objects from a surface. Just set the style of your surface to show the border, then while you have it highlighted. in the context tab in the ribbon you should see extract objects.....use that to extract the boundary. then add it as you said. saves time and headache......
Are you sure you have catches everywhere? I have seen this when there isn't enough topo.
Two options:
1) Add another baseline to your corridor so then you will get the option "Corridor extents as boundary" option. You don't need a region. Dynamic
2) Create boundary from corridor externally and apply to surface. Not dynamic.
You have Daylight Fill as an option but not Daylight. This suggests to me that you aren't creating the Daylight Feature line. Is it checked on in the Feature Lines tab?
This is the tab - as mentioned its the same assembly dragged in as usual from a tool pallette; never had a problem in the past with this.....GRRRRRR
Thanks for this Bruce - tried both and both worked fine
I am new in civil 3d.when i prepare a corridor its boundary suddenly goes away.kindly guide me???
Please note - adding a new question to the end of an old thread which has already been solved is usually referred to as a hijack, and is considered to be impolite. If you ask your question in a new thread I'm sure that someone will be able to help.
ok really sorry steve actually new user

With NASA and the U.S. Department of Transportation's revelation that Toyota vehicles did not have electrical flaws causing more car accidents, Professor Aaron Twerski says that plaintiff lawyers will have a much more difficult time suing the company. Research has shown that these accidents were caused not by faulty wiring, but by drivers stepping on the gas instead of the brakes. "It's going to be much harder on the class-action side," said Professor Twerski to Forbes blogger, Daniel Fisher. "In an individual case someone can be a damned fool and still recover. It's much more tricky on a class basis. You have to say the car is worth less because of the possibility of some idiot doing something. It's much a harder sell."
With the daunting task of sorting through September 11 settlements, Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the Southern District has selected Professor James A. Henderson of Cornell Law School and Professor Aaron Twerski of Brooklyn Law School to be Special Masters for the cases. As Special Masters, Professors Twerski and Henderson chose 225 of the most severe cases from a group of 9,000 plaintiffs.
Professors Margaret Berger, Aaron Twerski, and Elizabeth Schneider ranked in Brian Leiter's recent survey of "Most Cited Law Professors by Specialty." The survey, published on his Law School Rankings Web site, a highly respected and comprehensive ranking of law school performance, counted citations in law review articles from 2000 to 2007 that reference scholars in 18 different fields. In each category, 10 or 20 professors are ranked.
On August 12, 2007, the American Bar Association's Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section presented the 2007 Robert B. McKay Law Professor Award to Professor Aaron D. Twerski. The award was presented during the ABA's annual meeting in San Francisco.

A few weeks ago, we noted that even without playing a game, Peyton Manning has a valid argument for the MVP. Turns out he's not the only one in his family who can say that.
His younger brother, Eli Manning, is putting up impressive credentials of his own, and he's actually throwing passes this season, unlike the injured Peyton. Against the Patriots on Sunday, the Giants' QB tossed two touchdowns in the final 3:03 of the game, including the game-winner with less than 20 seconds left, helping his team improve its record to 6-2. The Giants became the first team to beat Tom Brady in a regular-season game at Gillette Stadium since Chad Pennington did it with the Jets on Nov. 12, 2006.
Manning makes his season debut on the Meter this week for more than just beating Brady. He's cut down on interceptions and his Giants, despite losing the season opener to the Redskins and also falling to the Seahawks in Week Five, hold a two-game lead in the NFC East. With a tough schedule in the second half of the season and the health of his top wideout (Hakeem Nicks) and running back (Ahmad Bradshaw) in question, the former Super Bowl MVP will have a strong opportunity to add a regular-season award to his mantle if he continues his impressive play.
(Last week's ranking in parentheses)
1. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (No. 1) — Having thrown just three interceptions this season and none since Week Six, Rodgers, the best QB in the league, must have a strategy for preventing turnovers. "I just don't throw it to the other team," Rodgers told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "Don't like to, never have. I don't think I'm coming very close either."
2. 49ers RB Frank Gore (No. 6) — Not even a sprained ankle could slow down Gore last Sunday. He gained 107 yards rushing in the Niners' victory over the Redskins, extending his streak of 100-yard rushing games to five. Despite the injury, Gore said he will be good to go for the team's Week 10 showdown with the Giants.
3. Lions WR Calvin Johnson (No. 2) — Gore's impressive play helped him move ahead of Megatron in the rankings, but Johnson has a chance to move up again in the coming weeks. Detroit's next three opponents — the Bears, Panthers and Packers — are ranked 13th or lower vs. the pass. There should be plenty of chances for Johnson, who had 11 touchdowns through eight games, to find the endzone on some big plays.
4. Bears RB Matt Forté (No. 5) — A pair of fumbles, including one that was returned for a TD, were a concern for Forté in Chicago's Monday night win over the Eagles. Yet, when it mattered most, Forté grinded out the tough yards the Bears needed. His 133 rushing yards were the most by a Bear on "Monday Night Football" since Walter Payton gained 157 in 1978.
5. Giants QB Eli Manning (NR) — As Eric Edholm wrote in this week's "Shorts and Shells," Manning knows how to make plays when he needs to. His passer rating is at its highest in the final two minutes of each half, as is his completion percentage. When the score is within seven points in the fourth quarter, Manning has thrown seven TDs and just one interception this season.
6. Patriots QB Tom Brady (No. 2) — There's only so much Brady can do without much of a running game or defense to support him, and it's hard to say he is the reason the Patriots have lost two straight. Still, Brady's three turnovers Sunday were costly.
7. Saints QB Drew Brees (No. 7) — It seems like Brees is passing another legend in the record books each week. He extended his streak of games with at least one TD pass to 36 Sunday vs. the Buccaneers, tying him for second all-time with Brett Favre for the longest streak in NFL history (trailing only Johnny Unitas' 47 games in a row). Brees also passed Joe Montana on the all-time completions list and is in 10th place with 3,414.
8. Bills RB Fred Jackson (No. 4) — The Bills enter the second half of the season with dreams of breaking their 11-year postseason drought, and Jackson has the ability to lead them to the playoffs. As a runner, receiver and blocker, the running back is the key piece in Chan Gailey's offense. "(Jackson's) doing an amazing job for our football team right now," Gailey said last week. "We wouldn't be where we are without him, I know that."
9. Texans RB Arian Foster (cusp) — The Texans have leaned heavily on Foster since WR Andre Johnson was hurt against the Steelers in Week Four, and Foster, the league's leading rusher last season, has been a beast. Foster has rushed for 112 yards or more in four of the past six games, including Sunday's win over the Browns, when he ran for 124 yards. With Johnson expected to return soon and Foster running well, the Texans could have an unstoppable offense the second half of the season.
10. Steelers WR Mike Wallace (No. 9) — He was limited to just four catches for 68 yards Sunday against the Ravens, but Wallace still hauled in a touchdown and was a constant threat to the Baltimore secondary. With Hines Ward and Emmanuel Sanders hurt, don't be shocked if Wallace becomes an even greater part of the Steelers' offense.
Five on the cusp (in alphabetical order) — Eagles RB LeSean McCoy, Jets CB Darrelle Revis, Ravens RB Ray Rice, Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, Panthers WR Steve Smith.

I spent most of the beginning of The Hunger Games kind of holding my breath in hopes that the movie would live up to all the hype I put on it. I loved the books A LOT. I also put a whole heap of unjustified responsibility on it and felt that it just had to hit a certain level so that the conversations about female protagonists who are strong and active in their lives could move to a new level.
Luckily, the film fulfilled my wishes. That is not to say that it's perfect. It's too long. And I just want to warn you to please be prepared a lot of the action is filmed on a hand held camera moving really quickly.
Aside from those small things this is a really good movie. And it's also a really serious film. For those of you who don't know about the book it takes place in Panem a bit in the future after a revolution that was put down by a totalitarian regime run by a evil dictator parading as a "president." Each year the "districts" who fought against the "capitol" have to sacrifice two of their teens to compete in The Hunger Games to show that they are all under the thumb of the capitol.
We meet our heroine Katniss Everdeen played by Jennifer Lawrence on the day of the reaping when the games participants are selected trying to assure her younger sister Prim that everything will be fine. Katniss is a lot like Ree the character that Lawrence played in Winter's Bone. She's a girl who had to grow up too fast because mom is a mess and dad is no longer in the picture. So she's in charge at 16. And they are poor. And nothing has color. It's like the Wizard of Oz before she goes over the rainbow. Those early scenes are quite intense.
After Katniss volunteers to save her sister and begins her journey toward the Games we get introduced to the colors of the Capitol and boy did the production designers have fun. Everything is exaggerated and heightened. The drab district 12 is left behind and you see the vibrancy of a society who lives off the fruits of the labor of the entire rest of the culture. It is perfect for our time. It is all about how the 1%.
As Katniss gets prepped for the Games by her team which is led pitch perfectly by Lenny Kravitz as Cinna she is terrified. I can't say enough about how good Jennifer Lawrence is in the film. What works best about her is that she is everygirl. She has that look about her. She's real. In each scene you truly feel her emotions. She knows that she's going to have a tough time but also knows she needs to get back home to take care of her sister. You really want her to succeed.
And then we get to the Games. And remember these are Games where kids kill kids because that is how they will survive. Kids killing kids. It's hard to imagine but that's the reality of it. Only one out of 24 will go home. The odds suck. It's brutal. And it is in the Games that you really see what Katniss is made of. She's got the skills, the smarts, the compassion and the fortitude to make it. And that's what I love about her. I love that she's a real girl who has to constantly do things no girl should have to do. But that's her life. We love her because she is a girl superhero. And damn we so need some girl superheroes.

Until three weeks before the film opened, I knew nothing, had never heard of, and was completely in the dark about "The Hunger Games." As opening day approached, my interest was piqued through word of mouth and online commentary about the strong lead female character, Katniss Everdeen, and I looked forward to seeing it with increasing anticipation. And then I saw it...
If this is Hollywood's idea of a "strong lead female character," we're all in BIG trouble. Jennifer Lawrence's character runs around the entire movie with a terrified look on her face; she denies her love for the boy she left behind in service to "winning;" she (quite ridiculously, in my opinion) forgives and forgets all about the fact that the young man she seems to have developed feelings for, her fellow District 12 tribute, had earlier betrayed her and hunted her down like a dog to prolong his own survival; and she depends on the largesse of her sponsors (and in one instance, on the cleverness of a much younger tribute named Rue) rather than her own ingenuity and pluck to extricate herself from bad situations. Really, this is the best Hollywood can do to represent strong, smart women onscreen? Not having read the books, I cannot vouch for the power of their "message," but the film was one waaaay-too-long episode of "The Amazing Race" with a little gratuitous violence thrown in to satisfy the bloodlust of the series faithful and the movie-going public.
At least someone is making an effort, but if this is the best we can hope for from Hollywood, women still have a long way to go. Why is it that lately it seems that in order to be deemed "strong," a woman must either be damaged and different, (Lizbeth Salander in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," or running from someone or something amidst manufactured chaos (Katniss in "The Hunger Games.") When are we going to get some portraits of real women, women like the ones I know, women who are emotional rocks of gibraltar, who persevere through adversity in their daily lives, who are the glue that holds their families together, who love and respect their partners and colleagues but who don't run around killing to survive or playing head games to get ahead? We're still either good princesses or evil witches, neither of which is a very interesting character sketch at this point. Give me Tilda Swinton in "We Need To Talk About Kevin" or Meryl Streep in "Iron Lady" any day. But those types of roles, real women, strong women in daunting (but not science-fiction-driven) situations, are still way too few and far between in the Hollywood paradigm.

good thinking film! enjoyed the female point of view! cheers!
budmin | March 26, 2012 12:44 PM
I find myself compelled to read the books because after seeing the movie, I'm left puzzled in wondering what happened to the humanity of the oppressor nations. How is it possible to subjugate and hate a beaten opponent to an extent where you would starve them and watch them kill each others children for sport.
At the same time, that's the glory of this trend in female driven young adult novels. We get to consume the humanities of these characters and discuss their motivation & personal failures.
It's the New Wine and Cheese Party of our time.
Bes | March 25, 2012 2:26 PM
I didn't want to read the books because the idea of a plot based on children, picked by lottery to fight to the death on reality TV in a dreary post war North America where the population barely keeps from starving just isn't appealing. But my Daughter made me read the books and I found I couldn't put them down. I will see the movie sometime during the week. But I just wanted to point out that some of the most profitable movies ever, The Harry Potter series, the Twilight series, and now the Hunger Games series have all been written by women authors. I think that is important to note because there are so few women writers in Hollywood.
Jess | March 25, 2012 12:00 PM
I have to say your EXTREME bias as a fan of the books has been evident. You trying to make it the "1st real female franchise" and thereby disrespecting the work of countless women who came before it has been disgusting. If this is feminism I want no part of it.
Also I find nothing particularly amazing about the fact that men are willing to see a teenager girl be strong. Wake me when they are willing to see a grown woman be strong.
Tony Wu | March 25, 2012 1:43 AM
Woohoo! This is the kind of movie I've been waiting for for a decade, ever since Spiderman came out; yes I'm a guy, but I've been bothered by a lack of strong female protagonists in big Hollywood action films since then. I won't be seeing the film until tomorrow, but based on reading the book, what I've seen from it so far, and the reviews, I'm confident that I'll enjoy it. It doesn't even bother me too much that this is being called a 'rip-off' of Battle Royale, because I think it's success is actually getting a little more visibility to Battle Royale. It's interesting that of the above comments, one person is saying it's too violent and another person is saying the violence is too kiddified; well yes, I imagine they toned it down to get it to PG-13. And secondly, I appreciated that Suzanne Collins said that part of her inspiration for the idea came from flipping through channels showing Reality TV and the Iraq war. The real world is a violence place, and kids are exposed to it all the time. The Iraq war was a crime against humanity, and at the time some people were treating it as entertainment. I think this subject brings to light perfectly our obsession with 'Reality TV' AND violence as a society.
Florence | March 23, 2012 3:00 PM
Hi Melissa, I am from Paris and I love your blog. Only this time I much disagree with you. The story is absurd and vERY brutale (for European standards, I know in USA you are used to much more violence in the films. as long you don't show a naked breast ;) ) . the idea of the murder games is not any better with a female heroine. This is not a film to inspire or entertain. Unless one is entertained by violence? (And I did not believe the heroine one minute that she is younger then 25 yrs. ;) )
Superhero or superheroine-movies normally contain some humour and irony. This is not like superhero. and not like a "real girl" in my opinion. Just to changing male and female lead does not make it a better story (a female Saddam Hussein would not be a nicer person ;) )
I look forward too your next article of course. best regards, and thank you! Florence

I just saw the movie because I do LOVE the books too. I never considered them as Young Adult fiction. They are way too serious and they don't take place in school. But the movie kind of disappointed me. The special effects were poor. The acting was OK but nothing to hold your breath and its way too long. The violence was kiddified so children under 12 could see it and so the movie could make more money. But considering was is out there in the movies, it is really refreshing to see a strong heroine saving the guy for a change.
6 months...seriously?? You just got here. Get used to sleeping in a twin bed and eating Ramen
Scorsese also directed Boxcar Bertha. Though, it's probably better we all collectively forget

CATEGORIES MoviesBy now, you've probably seen the trailer for The Vow. It may very well be a decent movie. After all, Rachel McAdams has a solid track record of picking good flicks, and the subject matter is actually pretty interesting -- it's inspired by a true story about a woman who woke up after a car accident and didn't remember her husband.
But here's the rub: the trailer is so unbelievably cutesy and irritating, I'll never see it. Think I'm overreacting? OK, I probably am. I know these sappy romantic tear-jerkers appeal to a large audience (especially around Valentine's Day), but I also know I wasn't the only one groaning in the theater when The Vow trailer played. Let's take a closer look at what exactly made this trailer so annoying.
1. It opens with a super-cheesy hipster wedding in an art gallery. If the vows weren't enough to make you roll your eyes ("I promise to live within the warmth of your heart"), then their goofy friend's ridiculous top hat surely was.
2. He asks her to move in with him with blueberries spelled out next to a pancake. Who does that? Do people actually like that? She was obviously confused. Don't people just talk anymore? Why does everything have to be such a big production!?
3. Channing Tatum is clearly wearing a women's cable-knit sweater in the aforementioned pancake scene. Is this supposed to make him seem more sensitive? Cuz it just looks goofy.
4. At one point, Rachel McAdams is sitting on a table going through photos. Are there no chairs available?
5. The music. 'Nuff said.
6. This many tears in a trailer is a big red flag. Is the movie itself going to be one big tearjerker? Will everyone be bawling? If the theater is going to be full of sappy romantics blubbering the whole time, count me out.
7. There are too many cheesy lines in the trailer to list here, but here are a few to illustrate my point: "I hope that one day I can love the way that you love me!" (With tears, of course.) And: "How do you look at the girl you love and let yourself walk away?" The worst offender? When the trailer asks, "Can a once-in-a-lifetime love find a second chance?" I mean, come on. Who talks like that?
8. Scott Speedman gets punched in the face. Nobody wants to see that.
9. Rachel McAdams sports a series of really bad haircuts. Is this supposed to dial down her beauty a smidge to make her more relatable?
10. This was clearly concocted for a Valentine's Day release. It essentially says so right in the trailer. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But it could explain why the trailer is so over-the-top. That's what the studios think we want on Valentine's Day -- lovey-dovey mush.
To each his own, I suppose.

INDIANAPOLIS — The last time Matt Hasselbeck played with a running back from the University of Alabama, things turned out pretty well.
He and Shaun Alexander led the Seattle Seahawks to Super Bowl XL, and Alexander was named the league's Most Valuable Player in 2005.
On Thursday, Hasselbeck was introduced to his newest teammate with the Indianapolis Colts — former Crimson Tide star rusher Trent Richardson.
"Hopefully, lightning strikes twice, right?" Hasselbeck said with a wide smile at his locker in the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. "That'd be great."
Richardson's arrival in Indianapolis was the story of the day in the NFL, with reporters from ESPN and the league's own network among the throng descending on the team's practice facility.
Just two games into his second season, the 22-year-old was traded Wednesday by the Cleveland Browns to the Colts for a 2014 first-round draft pick.
It's an unprecedented blockbuster, with Richardson spending just 510 days on the Browns' roster after being selected with the third overall draft pick in 2012. It also gives the Colts two of that draft class' top three picks, pairing the running back with No. 1 overall selection Andrew Luck.
That combination already has Richardson excited.
"We're going to be here for awhile," he said. "We're not planning on going nowhere. We plan to be here, we plan to grow and we plan to win a lot of games."
That's the idea general manager Ryan Grigson had when he agreed to surrender a valuable building block for the running back's services.
Some critics have suggested a first-round pick was too high a price to pay for a running back in today's NFL. They argue the running game has been devalued in a pass-happy league, and good rushers are easy to uncover without a huge investment.

WNBA's Elena Delle Donne Hits Amazing Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater
After a few years out of the spotlight, Elena Delle Donne saw her basketball profile blow up at Delaware. We dropped a feature on her in the magazine and she dropped 28.1 points per game as a junior. Now as a rookie with the WNBA's Chicago Sky, the 6-5 do-it-all forward is averaging over 18 points a game.

HARRISON, N.J. (AP) -- Mike Petke, who leads the New York Red Bulls in games played, was named coach of the club Thursday.
The 36-year-old Petke had been serving as the team's interim coach after Hans Backe's contract was not renewed following the end of New York's season. Petke, who spent eight years with the franchise in two different stints as a defender, was elevated after attempts to hire Gary McAllister and Paulo Sousa failed.
Sousa, 42, had been close to filling the position, but he told The Associated Press on Thursday "we didn't reach a final agreement. This sometimes happens in football and we need to turn a page and focus on the future."
Sousa, who has managed British clubs Queens Park Rangers, Swansea and Leicester, left his job at Hungarian club Videoton earlier this month citing family reasons after winning three trophies inside two years.
Sousa said "this will be a fantastic opportunity for another manager."
That will be Petke, who was quickly promoted because the team is already in training in Bradenton, Fla. The MLS season is set to begin March 3.
Red Bulls sporting director Andy Roxburgh said Petke is very passionate about the club, and has shown the leadership and organizational qualities to be coach. Petke served as an assistant the last two seasons, after playing for the franchise as the MetroStars from 1998-2002 and later the Red Bulls from 2008-2010.
The Red Bulls went 16-9-9 last season, finishing with 57 points.

Can find these pretty easily here in Greensboro,I think pretty muan average American pale ale.Kind of a darker orange color medium head that went fast,smelled pretty zesty maybe like a northwestern style pale ale.Taste was fruity and hoppy I would have liked a little more balance.

Appearance Nice orange color with a beautiful head that laced the glass.
Smell Big floral, citrusy hops is what this bouquet is all about.
Taste The flavor is just as big as the aroma. The rind n pine tastes are complimented by a plethora of floral hop flavors. The floral hops bring up the rear as well with a wonderful aftertaste that leaves the drinker wanting more.
Mouthfeel Very light carbonation and dry in accordance with the style.
Drinkability This went down exceptionally well. Im impressed.

Doggie Style Classic Pale Ale...Yeah!
A- Smooth pour of light orange hued fluid with a nice head that fell to a dominate rim of tight bubbled lace that followed the glass down.
S- Very floral hoppy scent kills the nose with more lightly pronounced grassy and fresh cut scents are there.
T-M- Taste is amazing for a pale ale... first is the straight forward hop bitterness with the mildly sweet malt backbone of the brew. The point is hops and malt on this one... with great mouthfeel how can you go wrong? Excellent feel with nothing to anger the tongue but a hell of alot of bitterness...
D- Great beer and worth a million pales in one.
Bro approved.

4.22/5 rDev +15.9%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
A: Clear coppery color with a tight off-white head of about 1/4". Head dissipates to a thin layer. Moderate lacing.
S: Modest floral hops come in just ahead of a light layer of caramel malts.
T&M: Excellent pale & caramel malts mostly balance - but not quite. There is a very nice hoppiness that comes through adding flavor without covering up the malts. Not sweet, not dry, just shy of perfect. The moderate body is well accented by the light carbonation. The finish is is clean with a bit of malt but a nice light linger of hops. Very nice.
D: Very drinkable and highly enjoyable. Smooth and easy with solid flavors that hold together. Recommended.

A - Golden color, moderately low carbonation, not a very big head and leaves just a bit of lacing on the top.
S - A touch of caramel malt, some toasted notes, with a faint whiff of citrus hops.
T - Nice malt backbone, sweet caramel malts up front, a bit of bread in there. Some citrus notes, finishing with a nice clean hop bitterness.
M - Moderate body, not too heavy, refreshing.
O - Good pale ale, I still think Sierra Nevada defines the style of APA. In fact, this seem more like an English Pale Ale with an American twist.

Pours a nice amber color. Smells of grapefruit pulp and biscuity malt. Nice, but average. Taste is surprisingly good. It has an (IMO) English-style maltiness, with nice fruitiness, including grapefruit and peach. Mouthfeel is pretty full, just right for a session ale.
All in all, this is a pretty good pale, one I'd definitely buy again. This would be a nice break from SNPA and similar pales, as well as from the bigger beers of the season.

3.4/5 rDev -6.6%
Presentation: 12oz brown bottle. No freshess date.
Appearance: Pours an impressive orangey/dark amber beer and a very decent creamy foam head with incredible stick and stay. The beer is truck with chill haze though.
Smell: Malty, floral hops and a touch of citrus fruitiness.
Taste: Taste and feel are even, but a bit thin, not in a bad way mind you, but it's still thin. Mega-dextriny (from the Carastan malts?) with a nice hop presence that pulls you gently into its soft Cascade hopland. You can tell that this beer has been dry-hopped. Hops go raw and coarse, citrus salty rind-like. Earthy, woody notes. Thin fruity/grape flavour, followed by a bready malt character that runs into the finish, along with more dextrins.
Notes: I think the name and label has made this beer something more than it is ... it's not the best Pale Ale in the world, just above average IMO, but it certainly does the trick.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden amber with a big rocky white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet fruity bready caramel malts.
The flavor is sweet bready malts with some fruits and decent bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly watery with good carbonation.
Overall, a decent but uninspiring pale ale.

This beer starts sweetly malt, bitterness comes with carbonation and dissipates . The beer finishes bitter but very light. This is a great pale ale. I found this to be more refreshing then most east coast pales, slightly less malt and a little more citrus hoppyness.

Clear, light amber color. Decent foamy head. Good retention.
Aromas of bready malts, grassy hops, hint of lemon...nohing too prominent.
Taste is more bready malts and great hop flavors...citrus, pine, grapefruit..but nevery too astringent in mouthfeel. very crisp, delicious, and highly drinkable. a solid pale ale.

Bright tawny amber with an impressive head retention, stellar stickage and the foam takes forever to subside. Hell the lace holds to the glass almost all the way down!
Aromatic mix of citrusy hop and buttery diacetyl. More hop in the nose though and fresh at that, this is obvious dry-hopping if you have never had a dry hopped beer before.
Moderate body with a well structured mouth feel. Mouthful of cascade hops, not all bitterness just a heavy hand of citrusy flavour. Bitterness is there and quite ample. Maltiness is underneath with a base of sweet grain that more or less gets clouded out by the fresh hop flavour. Puckering dry finish.
This is perhaps my favourite of the Flying Dog brand and definitely a beer I will be trying to have in the fridge for a nice hop fix here and there.

I found this beer in my fridege left over from my 30th birthday party. The thing that stands out to me is a harsh grassyness from the hops in both the nose and the flavor. The malt come through with caramel, and bready notes. Nothing too special. Just a basic pale ale.

The pscho(delic?) labels were drawn by the artist who did the artwork on the books of Dr Hunter S. Thompson(Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas). This pours a clear, copper, amber with a medium sized head that has good retention. Globs of foam lace the glass. Floral hops flood the nose with lilacs, orangerind, and pine. Mouthfeel is alive with carbonation and has a moderate citrus/pine hop bite on the tongue. Taste is grapefruit and pinecone hoppiness, which ride all over the top of the underlying sweet caramel malt. Good balance overall. A very drinkable and crisp Colorado IPA. Try it, you'll like it.

Update: Man who died in level crossing crash was car passenger
12:05pm Thursday 3rd January 2013 in News By Jamie Brooks, Contact me on 01865 425422
British Transport Police have confirmed that the man who died in the collision between the car and train near Kidlington yesterday was the passenger in the car.
The 85-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, following the crash between the freight train and the blue Renault Kangoo at about 3.40pm, on the Sandy Lane crossing between Yarnton and Kidlington.
The 78-year-old driver of the vehicle was taken to John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, where is he being treated for his injuries and remains in a stable condition.

The situation in Colorado is prompting some changes for Baton Rouge theaters showing The Dark Knight Rises later Friday.
Roger Black, Operations Manager for Celebrity Theaters Group, said the Grand Cinema-Baton Rouge had two showings at midnight on Friday to avoid large crowds. A total of 130 people bought tickets.
Black, who has been working in the movie industry for 32 years said the scene outside of the Aurora, CO movie theater shook him.
"It's devastating emotionally to me, personally," Black said.
Batman fans in Baton Rouge lined up Friday afternoon to see the super hero action flick. Randolph Scott could not believe the news of the shooting rampage.
"Don't make no sense. Don't understand this world anymore. It's getting worse and worse," Scott said.
Local movie theaters are taking extra precautions in light of the mass shooting.
The manager at the Rave Cinema behind the Mall of Louisiana said security is already in place, but officials are discussing if other options are necessary after the deadly shooting in Aurora.
The manager of the Grand Cinema on George O'Neal Lane said there will be three officers watching for any trouble. Normally, there's only one. Two officers will be there for Sunday's shows. Exit doors will be double checked to make sure they are locked and more workers will be added at exits and entrances.
"Certainly no one's going to be allowed in with any masks on. If you come in dressed like Batman with a cape on you're going to be looked at very closely before you're allowed in to make sure we know you don't have anything underneath those capes," Black said.
Ticket holder, Jonathan Fontenot, said he is not letting one man's unruly rage ruin his plans.
"It's sad. It's very sad that somebody is disturbed enough to do something like that. But we're not going to live in fear. So we're going to go see the movie," Fontenot said.
Managers at Cinemark at Perkins Rowe are also discussing various security options as well.

Updated April 15, 2010 @ 7:26 p.m. ET
Seventh in a series of analyses of team needs, by division.
Denver Broncos
Quarterbacks: The Broncos are expected to stick with Kyle Orton as their starter for at least one more season. Orton is a restricted free agent, but he has been tendered. Denver acquired Brady Quinn in a trade, but he's expected to back up Orton.
Running backs: The Broncos have made some changes to their backfield. Denver cut LaMont Jordan, traded Peyton Hillis to the Browns and signed J.J. Arrington. The team could add another back in free agency or late in the draft, but it's not a pressing need.
Receivers: Dealing Brandon Marshall away left a gaping hole at the WR position, which will require serious attention. Denver will likely stand pat at tight end with Daniel Graham and Richard Quinn. Meanwhile, Tony Scheffler, who was tendered at a second-round level, will likely be traded.
Offensive line: Head coach Josh McDaniels is in the process of remodeling the interior O-line with bigger, more powerful players, rather than the smaller guards and centers that Mike Shanahan favored. Denver could use more depth at guard and center.
Defensive line: The D-line struggled late last season, and adding a talented, young nose tackle or an end with the size and tools to play in the 3-4 scheme will be something the team considers in the draft. Denver has beefed up its D-line in free agency by signing NT Jamal Williams and DEs Jarvis Green and Justin Bannan.
Linebackers: The Broncos surprised observers by cutting ILB Andra Davis, and the team might address that position at some point in the draft. There aren't any other glaring holes at linebacker, assuming RFA OLB Elvis Dumervil is re-signed.
Defensive backs: Denver already started planning for the future, drafting a corner and two safeties last season to groom in their secondary, which is led by veteran starters Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins. Getting additional young players into the mix in the secondary is something sure to be on McDaniels' mind.
Special teams: The Broncos cut P Brett Kern last year and replaced him with Mitch Berger, but Berger isn't expected to return in 2010. Denver could spend a late pick on a punter if there is one it really likes, and it also could use a receiver with return ability.
Summary: Replacing Marshall will be a priority for the Broncos along with finding a center and adding pieces on defense.
Kansas City Chiefs
Quarterbacks: The Chiefs are set with Matt Cassel as their starter, but they could look to improve their backup situation, especially with Brodie Croyle becoming a free agent. It's likely something they'd address in free agency, if at all.
Running backs: Jamaal Charles proved in 2009 that he has star potential, but the team can't rely on the diminutive back to carry the load for 16 games. That's why the Chiefs brought in veteran free agent Thomas Jones, who is coming off a career year with the Jets. The pair should split the workload in 2010.
Receivers: Despite the fact that Kansas City re-signed free agent Chris Chambers, they are in dire need of talent at wideout. It's likely the team takes one relatively early in the draft and also brings in a couple of veterans to pair with Dwayne Bowe. It started by adding free agent Jerheme Urban, whom Todd Haley coached in Arizona.
Offensive line: As the offense's biggest need, the Chiefs could give their line a drastic offseason overhaul. Odds are they'll use the fifth overall pick on a tackle, then add more big bodies in the draft and through free agency. Kansas City has already gotten into gear here, signing free agents Ryan Lilja, who's likely to start at ORG, and Casey Wiegmann, who should compete for the starting center job. Among 2009 starters, only Branden Albert and Brian Waters are safe.
Defensive line: It looks like they are set with Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson at the ends, but a young nose tackle is a certain need. Ron Edwards is getting older and is not a typical 3-4 nose tackle. Free-agent pickup Shaun Smith gives them a veteran option up front.
Linebackers: Tamba Hali and Demorrio Williams played well, but the rest of the group mostly struggled in '09. With Derrick Johnson hitting free agency, K.C. needs a stout tackling machine inside to handle the run. Another pass rusher outside wouldn't hurt.
Defensive backs: The club is set with young CBs Brandon Flowers and Brandon Carr, but the cupboard is bare at safety. It's a near lock that it will draft one in the early going, and it could also try to find an impact safety in free agency.
Special teams: P Dustin Colquitt and PK Ryan Succop are two of the team's better players, but the return game struggled mightily last season. A speedy return man could be targeted late in the draft.
Summary: The 4-12 Chiefs have needs all over, but it's imperative that they improve their O-line and defensive backfield this offseason. Once they do that, they can concentrate on upgrading their receiving corps and front seven on defense, as well.
Oakland Raiders
Quarterbacks: It doesn't look as though there's a long-term answer at quarterback in Oakland, although the team doesn't appear prepared to admit it — the Raiders aren't willing to cut the cord with JaMarcus Russell. RFAs Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye have signed their tenders.
Running backs: The Raiders are still hoping 2008 first-round pick Darren McFadden will live up to his potential, but he hasn't come close to doing so in his first two seasons. Oakland needs to add depth at running back after releasing Justin Fargas.
Receivers: Rookie WRs Darrius Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy endured their share of growing pains last season. Oakland is still confident, though, that both will develop into star players. This position was a glaring need for the Raiders last offseason, but they're going to allow Murphy and Heyward-Bey to develop before they go back to the well.
Offensive line: The Raiders have needed to improve their personnel at offensive tackle for some time now, but they've opted to address other needs in the draft of late. OT Cornell Green signed with the Bills and will need to be replaced.
Defensive line: Managing general partner Al Davis traded a first-round pick last September for DE Richard Seymour, and last month he placed an exclusive franchise tag on Seymour to prevent him from escaping after just one season. They could spend a pick on a defensive end to groom as Seymour's eventual replacement. The Tommy Kelly-Gerard Warren DT combination hasn't been very productive in the past couple of years, and the team cut Warren. This is a spot that requires some tinkering in the draft or free agency.
Linebackers: The Raiders acquired OLB Kamerion Wimbley from the Browns in a trade and MLB Kirk Morrison has signed his tender. Oakland could still look to find a new middle 'backer.
Defensive backs: The secondary is one of the stronger parts of the defense. They could spend a late pick on a corner for Nnamdi Asomugha to groom, but they likely will address needs elsewhere.
Special teams: Oakland gave Sebastian Janikowski the largest contract ever for a placekicker in February, which prevented him from hitting the open market. The Raiders already have addressed their most pressing special-teams issue.
Summary: Oakland has needs to fill on both sides of the ball. The Raiders need to give whoever is starting at quarterback for them next season some help in the form of a stouter offensive line. In addition, the defensive front seven must improve vs. the run for the team to become a winning one.
San Diego Chargers
Quarterbacks: The Chargers are completely set here, with starter Philip Rivers locked up with a long-term deal and reliable backup Billy Volek still under contract.
Running backs: With LaDainian Tomlinson having been released, the Bolts are in desperate need of a new lead back and could use their first-round pick on one. On the eve of the free-agent signing period, the team reversed course on RFA Darren Sproles and tendered him at the highest level, contrary to its previously announced intention. Sproles, whom the team views as only a situational offensive player, will cost the team $7.27 million in 2010 unless the two sides agree on a new contract.
Receivers: Starters Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd are both RFAs, and the team is doing all it can to bring them back by putting the highest tender on both. With some depth at this spot, San Diego won't be clamoring for wideout help this offseason.
Offensive line: Although free-agent OLT Marcus McNeill is likely to be re-signed, the club needs an upgrade at right tackle for Jeromey Clary. It's a move likely to be made on Draft Day. OLG Kris Dielman and C Nick Hardwick are rock-solid in the middle.
Defensive line: The line is the No. 1 defensive weak spot. In addition to a lack of depth at end behind Luis Castillo, the team has to find a replacement for NT Jamal Williams, who was released and subsequently signed by the Broncos. The club will definitely be searching for a nose tackle in the draft.
Linebackers: The Bolts are strong here and have 2009 first-rounder Larry English ready in case they lose RFA Shawne Merriman, although that's unlikely after they assigned him the highest possible tender. The only thing they might need is depth, as Shaun Phillips and Stephen Cooper are top-notch starters.
Defensive backs: Although it has a nice group of talent here, the team might look to add a couple more bodies in the secondary, as it tends to do during draft weekend. Cornerback has become a slightly bigger need after Antonio Cromartie was traded to the Jets. Although the Chargers have Antoine Cason ready to step into the starting job, they likely will look to bring in someone to push him. They've added former Bear Nathan Vasher and ex-Jets CB Donald Strickland for depth.
Special teams: PK Nate Kaeding and P Mike Scifres are two of the best at their positions, but the return game could take a huge hit if Sproles isn't brought back, although that appears unlikely. Also, the departure of Pro Bowl special-teamer Kassim Osgood through free agency weakens the coverage units.
Summary: Outside of a major hole at RB, the Chargers don't have many glaring needs this offseason. Their main focus will be retaining high-priority free agents like Jackson and McNeill and possibly upgrading both lines.

49ers coach Jim Harbaugh does push-ups with a walrus...really

OK, so this happened.
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh visited Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California, and as part of his day decided to do some push-ups with Siku, the resident walrus.
Why this happened is really anyone's guess, and why the coach wasn't wearing his trademark khakis is a mystery that also will not likely be solved anytime soon.
Could this all be because the coach was nearly traded to the Cleveland Browns? That would be enough to make us go a bit crazy...

The Loudoun County Health Department is warning people who traveled through Dulles International Airport earlier this month they may have been exposed to a person with measles.
A person infected with the disease traveled through the airport on June 7 between 6 and 9 p.m. in Concourse A or B, in the International Arrivals Building or in the Baggage Claim level of the Main Terminal.
The health department says people at risk for exposure on the plane have been identified and are being contacted by their state or local health officials.
Measles is a highly contagious illness that is spread through coughing, sneezing, and contact with secretions from the nose, mouth, and throat of an infected individual.
The health department says if you notice symptoms of measles, call your primary health care provider to discuss further care. Call ahead and tell your primary health care provider's office that you were exposed to measles prior to going to the office or the ER.
They say based on the date of exposure, if you were infected with measles, you may develop symptoms as late as June 28.
For more on measles, go to http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/Epidemiology/factsheets/pdf/Measles.pdf. For additional questions, please call the Loudoun County Health Department at 571-233-7317.

With a great deal of confusion, I've watched for about the last three years as Barack Hussein Obama rose from near obscurity to become, the President of The United States. A meteoric rise by anyone's standards, that caught a large number of people, including myself, completely off guard. However, he achieved his goal, and now we must ride out the damage until at least 2012.
The simple fact that he became President, however, is by no means the most troubling occurrence connected with his Presidency. Much more troubling is what he, and others around him have done to our country in the name of so called 'good government'. What is far worse is that they have turned a significant portion of our citizenry against each other through the use of deplorable tactics such as race baiting, name calling, and classifying of people as hater, racists, conspiracy nuts, Nazis, terrorists, and anything else that can cause those on the receiving end of the abuse to back away from what they really believe.

The L.A. Lakers are said to be interested in Dwight Howard and Chris Paul. Getting swept in embarrassing fashion does something to a team. Something that makes them hilarious.
Here's a look at the Lakers' salary cap levels over the past six seasons.
Needless to say, Jerry Buss has no qualms spending copious amount of money to compete for and win championships.
Heading into free agency, the Lakers have a cap figure of $91 million with the leaguewide team salary cap set at $58 million and the luxury tax line at $70 million. The team will be restricted to the mini mid-level exception ($9.3 million over three years), signing its own free agents, signing players to minimum contracts and trades to augment its roster.
The Lakers' free agents are:
L.A. is expected to lose Brown; GM Mitch Kupchak has already admitted he sees a team making the guard an offer the Lakers won't match due to the attached tax hit. Ratliff and Smith hardly played last season; Smith, anyways, must continue his quest to play for every team in the NBA. I believe the Rockets are up next.
Outside of the CP3/Howard saga, the Lakers seem awful willing to move Andrew Bynum or Lamar Odom in the right deal. You never know when a team will decide to rebuild and sell off a star, but you can be assured that the Lakers will be right there in insert themselves in the rumors.
Point guard is a never-ending concern; CP3 made Derek Fisher and Steve Blake look like Muppets in the playoffs, and J.J. Barea had them as confused as a coxswain in a canoe. But upgrading the position is difficult given the boom-or-bust stratification of the roster. Who is there to trade for an effective, unspectacular lead guard? Instead, look for Mike Brown to experiment with different lineups and give rookie Darius Morris and Andrew Goudelock some opportunities.
Luke Walton appears to have no intention of filing for medical retirement, so the Lakers may need to use the amnesty clause on him to cut down that tax bill.

Style Files: Taking Britt Nicole's Tutu From The Stage To The Streets
Popular Right Now
Dressing for the stage lets a performer break all the rules. There are the over-the-top costumes of characters like Lady Gaga and Katy Perry and the sparkly, personality-driven style of Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, but more low-key pop girls, like 2013 GRAMMY nominee Britt Nicole, keep it simple enough to go from stage to real life.
Nicole talked to Radio.com about what she likes to wear for live performances — and we pulled some ready-to-wear dresses to help you get her look for an everyday style.
"As far as my fashion when I go on stage, it's completely different than what I'm comfortable in [but] I do feel like I have to be comfortable on stage because I'm moving a lot, I'm dancing… so I have to have something that I can move in," Nicole explained. "When I'm trying on clothes for a tour coming up, I'm in the dressing room posing, dancing, holding my mic. I'm like, 'OK, how do I feel in this? Can I lift my arms? What all can I do?'
"The last thing I bought for the most recent tour I was one is this really big tutu skirt. It goes out really far and has this gold top. I wear it with gold Converse. It's this kind of prissy, really fun pop look and then the Converse make it more fun, more edgy."
The secret to pulling off a tutu in the wild? Look for tulle skirts. This cap sleeved tulle dress with sequined top from Macy's, featuring a back zip and v-back, has the feel of a tutu but with a jean jacket could easily be a daytime or work outfit.
The same dress is available in plus sizes as well, with an A-line cut. It is flattering to all body types and would work nicely paired with a short-cut, 3/4-length sleeve blazer in a dark color.
Another option for daytime is a longer tulle skirt, like this sleeveless version. This illusion skirt has the fairytale feel of a tutu with length that makes it appropriate for day-to-night wear. The jeweled waistband adds an extra princess touch.

I'm thinking something more general like: "Waterfowl", "Shorebirds", "Sparrows", [...] Anyone know of a site or have a list that is generalized like that that would be recognizable to the lay-person?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Cocktail is a party dress code that is used for all kinds of evening or after dark events. These events can be formal or informal depending on the situation so it's good to adjust your outfit to the formality and situation of the party you're attending. Cocktail dresses are knee length dresses that range from just above the knee to under the knee but it can also be tea length (just above the ankle) although we reccoment this only with a fitted dress. Cocktail attire can be in any fabric but it's good to adapt your dress to the formality of the party. Keep in mind that darker colors and fabrics like silk and satin give a more formal look than other colors and fabrics. We recommend going for a simple dress that you can glamour up with accessories. The main goal of this party dress code is that you have to look elegant so make sure that you'll pick out a dress that flatters your body shape.

The Big Bang Theory show is a funny show, but it definitely forces a lot of its jokes and misrepresents anything nerdy. Only a few situations and jokes are done correctly. But of course its a show made for the general audience about nerds. So, it's going to be dumbed-down and made at the simple level. It's not made for nerds.
