Here it is, the first day of August already, and you're without a fling to show for it. No need to panic yet. There's still time to find some summer lovin'--just not very much. Desperate times call for drastic measures, and you'll need to act fast. Try your luck at one (or five) of these prime pickup points before the month is up.
Flex your options
Looking for someone who has what it takes to put you head-over-heels? What about someone who can put his heels behind his head or her head under her elbow? Strike a pose in the 105-degree heat of a Bikram Yoga Wicker Park class ($15 for a 90-minute course; $70 for a five-class package). Not only will it get your heart pumping, it'll give you a chance to find the most flexible folks in the room before making your next move. Romance that starts off this steamy can only get hotter. Also takes place at Bikram Yoga Lincoln Park.
Play the market
Take your search to the streets at the 24th annual Northalsted Market Days, where the only thing hotter than the summer sun is the boys basking in it. The city's largest street festival also happens to be the season's biggest meet market, stocked with everything you need to keep the conversations flowing: bands, beer and bodies. With a full six blocks cordoned off for cruising, you're sure to bump into someone who shares your goal.
Last-ditch pitch
Since you're putting it all on the line for a chance at romance, why not take a two-for-one shot at finding your fling and your 15 minutes? WB show "Beauty and the Geek 2" holds a casting call Tuesday for brainy lads and beautiful lasses ages 21-33. Even if the execs don't notice you, maybe a fellow reality TV wannabe will. 10 a.m. Free. Appointment required. Claire Simon Casting.
Pour on the charm
Ready to throw in the towel on the bar scene? Uncork your more sophisticated side at Feast. The Bucktown restaurant hosts a wine-tasting event the third Wednesday of every month ($15 per person). August's lineup features labels from Napa, so it's the perfect time to work your Sandra Oh-like knowledge of California cabs. Even if "Sideways" didn't make a vino virtuoso out of you, there's still a shot for romance; after a few glasses of wine, everyone should be swooning, anyway. 7 p.m. Aug. 17.
Get physical
This month isn't only your last chance to find somebody special. It's also your last chance to see some special bodies--at the Museum of Science and Industry's "Body Worlds" exhibit, that is. The anatomically correct exhibit of preserved human bodies moves on after Labor Day, so there's not much time left to practice your pickup lines on that corpse in the corner. Once you've got your lines down cold, you can put them to the test on a more animated audience--like that cutie contemplating the cadavers. Just remember, beauty's only skin deep. 9:30 a.m. daily through Sept. 5
Move in for the kill
When it's getting late and you're feeling truly desperate, there's only one surefire solution: Organize an expedition to Rush and Division Streets, and set your sights on The Hunt Club. It's a jungle out there on the dance floor, but you'll be in good company with the other Gold Coast swingers. Not to worry: There are more than enough players on the prowl to go around.

New Year's Eve brings out the best in amateur sluts everywhere. Dude convinced his GF Roxanne to ring in the new year with her first anal ever. He caught every moan and gasp of pleasure on cam as he stretched her tight virgin ass with deep thrusts.
Bro has the smoothest silver tongue he uses to convince his GF to let him bang her in her virgin asshole. All it takes is a little persuading to let him in her butt. Maci's first anal is so hot and smooth, chick takes dick like a real pro.

Huge, flat-bumpy, tan head stratifies with subsequent pours: cool. A hazy, toffee-brown beer. Sweet/sour apples, a hint of toffee, metal, caramel, sugar and Unibroue spice in the nose. The front has tangy apples and caramel sugar. The middle is thick toffee... almost some chocolate, but not quite. Finish is quite bitter with some cocoa. Again, a classic, dark Unibroue. Good, strong, caramely, spicy, fruity.

Another Unibroue offering for the IGA supermarket chain (this according to the Unibroue rep on hand)...........
A dark brown pour with a fizzy tan head that seems to fade quickly. The nose is lightly fuity and highlight with berries. Somewhat of a cloying character to it. A touch of tartness towards the end accompanies a dry finish.

Surprisingly satisfying. Molasses colour, smell and taste.Big long lasting tan head. Much superior overall to the nauseating blonde. Some malt and flavorings that overcome mid-sip syrup and yeast. Carmel malt brown sugar. Something different from Unibroue. Spice is moderate. This was interesting for after supper.

Pourred a large dark head that did not disapear too quickly. Very dark colour, almost opaque. The spices reminded me of the other Irrésistible but this one has a thin taste of roastiness. Would probably be better with more roastiness or butterscotch taste. Overall, I was alittle bit disapointed, it seems that we have a blonde golden ale in the body of a dark ale. I not sure where Unibroue is taking us with that one.

Thanks to hopdog...
Appears a hazy dark brown with a red hue. Small light beige head that fades into a tiny cap.
Smell is of hops, caramel, brown sugary, along with cocoa, and a fruity aroma.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, yeasty, slightly thin. This one seems to hit along the sides of the tongue with a mild sourness that is hardly noticable. Probably the age catching up to the bottle.

Bottle-Pours deep chestnut brown with a frothy beige head. Nice retention here. Lots of dark fruit and spices in the nose, some candied sugar, earthy malts. Pretty sweet dark fruit flavours (plum, black cherry), nice hoppy taste mixed with spices and floral notes. Sweet and creamy in the finish. Good.

341ml bottle from metro jeanette. pours a lovely hazed dark chestneut color with a good cap that laces well.... lively carbonation.... cocoa, grass and sweet cookie dough in the nose. Peppery mouth feel from the carbonation, malt spine detectable, variety of flavors..cocoa, fruits, some mustiness..not actually complex but multi- layered, slightly fluent decernment..wet finish with the signature UB yeast fruity after taste. This is a beer that could have had potential but as I suspect UB makes too many styles with the same yeast strain...this dark just does not come off with too many tastes that dont mix well ...cocoa tastes from dark malts does not seem to mesh with the peachy fruit tones from the yeast, the hops chosen to not compliment the sweet malts...just a brew that didnt do anything for me. I like the irrisitable blonde which is a superior wit to this failed hybrid brown

served in 33 cL brown bottle with gold foil and goofy monk picture on the label.
i found this in a Super C supermarket in montreal. seems to be made specially for a grocery store chain.
this beer blew me away. excellent woody brown color with great foamy head that retained well. very complex taste. nutty malts hit you first, without any roastiness. very smooth. then the maltiness gives way to a rush of fruity esters. unibroue really got an insane amount of nectarine flavor into this beer. the aftertaste is dry, too, but leaves no evidence of alcohol at all. none.
this beer is just insanely complex. everything is working here, imo.
very very drinkable. if you see this one, pick up a bunch.

Clear, deep ruby/brown colour with a fluffy, dark tan head. Mild malt aroma with a spicy, yeasty character. There's also some sweet candy sugar and a light ripe fruitiness. Subdued flavour overall with some smooth malt to start and a bit of fruit and spice at the end. Chocolate shows up as the beer warms. Dry finish with lingering spice and alcohol warmth. Soft carbonation and slightly creamy texture with a medium/light body. This beer is very easy to drink. Great complexity in the aroma, nicely matched by subtlety in the flavour. I'll definitely pick this one up again on my next trip to Quebec.

Dark color color. No head, sadly. Aroma wise, there's a bunch going on: maltiness, chocolate, maybe some sugar and spice thrown in for good measure. Mouthfeel, I thought it should be a bit more, it's really thin +. Carbonation is pretty low. Tastewise, I get some caramelly malt.

4.35/5 rDev +16.9%
12 oz bottle. A dark brown brew with a tan/beige head of foam that lasts quite long. Aromas are of twigs, berries, various belgian spices, candy sugar, yeast, roasted malts, and a bit o' hops. This reminded me of St. Bernardus 6 or something similar in flavor. The taste is very berry-like and a bit boozy with some lovely spice notes as well. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, but decent and the drinkability is very good for this is a 7% brew, that drinks like a 5% one.

Very dark brown like semi-sweet chocolate or coca-cola, letting little light pass through. Sand coloured cap of foam composed of mostly small bubbles with some really big ones in the mix. Light aromas of figs, lightly browned caramel, chocolate and tropical spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger) all hemmed in by that idiosyncratic yeasty Unibroue smell. Would recognize it anywhere and would be disappointed if it were not present. Nicely complex beer.
Active carbonization animates the tongue and ushers in a beer of medium body and neutral texture... not watery not oily. Firm flavours of chocolate oranges, and spices combined with a slight acidity are followed after a short pause by a sustained bitterness of hops and roasted grains.
Pleasantly drinkable but could use some aging to gain the silkiness that would cement all flavours into something a little less twitchy. Would gain even more complexity.

Pours an opaque dark brown with a big rocky tan head. Smell is yeasty, fruity apple, spicy (clove and cinnamon).
Tastes of ripe banana, clove and yeastiness. Sour apples and hints of lemon. Mouth is lighter than you would expect but still lightly sticky. Pretty damn good. The stronger big brother of the Irresistible Blonde.

Clipper Fanatic. Larry Brown may be a crotchety old man but he is the best basketball coach the world has ever seen. Yes he's won a NCAA and NBA title but his most impressive accomplishment was leading the Clippers to back to back playoff appearances. The Clippers have been to the playoffs 3 times in their existence and Brown led them to 2 out of those 3 and they were in consecutive seasons to boot!
This is a confusing one, I was under the impression we couldn't trade Billups. The entire articles requires Insider but I'll post the Clipper-centric content below. Ray Allen and Trevor Ariza to the Clippers; Chris Kaman and Eric Bledsoe to Boston; Chris Wilcox, Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes, Chauncey Billups, and Brian Cook to New Orleans View this deal in ESPN.com's NBA Trade Machine Here Billups Kaman Allen While we're breaking up the Celtics, here's another good one to ponder -- either in conjunction with the deal above or on its own. The Clippers certainly become rather potent in the wake of this trade; by agreeing to swallow Ariza's contract from the Hornets and part with the promising Bledsoe, they get a deadly wing shooter in Allen to replace the injured Billups. Additionally, Ariza gives them the wing defender they've sorely needed all season. For New Orleans, this is a straight salary dump of Ariza, with Kaman the lure. The Hornets would have to pay Gomes one more year, but otherwise get four expiring contracts. New Orleans also would have to waive Solomon Jones and Lance Thomas to make this deal work; let's just say I don't see that as a show-stopper. As for the Celtics, they get a promising guard in Bledsoe and the Bird rights to a big low-post center, Kaman. That actually has value for the C's, who unlike New Orleans actually have a prayer of re-signing Kaman. They do take on $2.6 million in luxury tax in this deal, but if they don't do the one above, they can eliminate that expense by sending O'Neal to the Hornets instead of Wilcox.
2. Clippers or Lakers: Who wins the Pacific Division? Adande: Clippers. They have the more difficult road itinerary left, but the Lakers face tougher opponents, including three games vs. the Spurs in the final seven. Plus, the Clippers have a better team. Foster: I'll take the Clippers winning the Pacific Division by the narrowest of margins, but the Lakers as the team with the better playoff outlook. The Clippers' offense is spectacular and Chris Paul will win close games, but teams that rank 22nd in defensive efficiency historically don't make deep playoff runs. Mason: Clippers. Paul and the Clips already own a three-game head start over the Lakers in the loss column and also boast a clearer sense of their team's identity. More troubling than the Lakers' 6-12 road record is that even with Gasol, Bryant and Bynum playing well, they have yet to sustain an offensive rhythm for more than a few quarters. Peterson: Clippers. If the Lakers were still running the triangle, I'd pick the Lakers because of their depth and, ahem, experience. But the NBA belongs to point guards, and when it comes to comparing Derek Fisher, a fine player representative, versus Chris Paul, the finest player at his position, it's no contest. Paul will be the difference between the Clippers finishing first and the Lakers finishing second. Sherwood Strauss: Clippers. When in doubt, choose the team that isn't dangling a star over the fishing pier. Also: World Peace, Derek Fisher, Troy Murphy and Steve Blake.
Yesterday we looked at the non-playoff teams out East. Today we will head back to the Western Conference teams that look like they are out of the running already. Currently the Denver Nuggets and...
Well now that the Clippers lost the J.R. Smith lottery its obvious what the team's chief objective is from now until the trade deadline/buyout dead line. Today we will look at the Eastern...
Pretty sure no one posted this. Here's the most important snippet. Billups' injury breaks up the single most effective five-man lineup that has logged at least 100 minutes so far this season, according to Basketball Value. In 255 minutes together — more time than all but five units league-wide — the Clippers' starting lineup has outscored opponents by nearly 18 points per 100 possessions. It has provided consistently great defense for a team that has done poorly on that end. Substitute Williams for Billups, and that number drops to about 4.5 points per 100 possessions. As John Schuhmann pointed out at NBA.com, the drop-off has come on defense, where Williams, at 6-1, just cannot defend shooting guards, even though he's in the best shape of his career and generally working his tail off.
You'll need Insider to read the whole thing but essentially Tom Haberstroh is breaking down the schedule and looking at how teams will handle the back to backs of this condensed season. He specifically discussed the Clippers. But do familiar teams actually play better in a crunch? It sure seems that way. The following chart illustrates the relationship of continuity and performance in back-to-backs. If you're a coach, you want to see your team in the top right of the chart: good performance and familiar faces. The bottom left? Well, that's when you get some ugly play along with some new faces. Sorry, Clippers fans. Evidently, continuity isn't just an empty load of coachspeak: We're seeing a pretty consistent relationship above (and a stronger relationship than what we see in regular games). Teams that play well on back-to-backs tend to have a lot of continuity on their roster. Other teams have struggled with their new teammates when they hit the grind. You rarely see a team with low continuity and a good record or a bad record and a high retention rate (notice the empty pockets in the bottom right and top left corners). The Clippers, as good as they might be, have really struggled to maintain their performance when they play without any rest. So it's not just that bad teams play poorly; unfamiliar ones do, too.
CP3 doesn't have this kind of lift post-knee injury but this is a nice play to build up hype for tonight.
You'll need ESPN Insider to read the whole thing but here's an excerpt from the article. This might be similar to the errors Miami made with its roster construction last season, when slow, over-the-hill big men led to a bunch of unused centers on the inactive list during the postseason. The Heat learned their lesson and added some young talent to the bench mix this season. The Clippers will use Martin, but signing him is not a very creative move for a team that has a shot at winning its conference. To be fair, Miami reportedly was one of the other contenders to land Martin, as were several other playoff-caliber teams. It seems the collective perception of Martin is askew with the reality. But, who knows, maybe it'll work out. If it does, it'll be because Martin proves to be an upgrade to the defense. According to 82games.com, the Clippers are a whopping 18.5 points per 100 possessions worse defensively when Jordan is on the bench. They are 5.8 points worse when Griffin sits. It shouldn't be hard for Martin to close those gaps. For all his hard work, the Clippers get torched when Evans is in the game, and now his role should be reduced. Last season in Denver, the Nuggets were 3.7 points better defensively with Martin on the floor.
Miami is going after 2 big guys the Clips could use as well. So it comes down to South Beach versus Los Angeles. Talk about 1st world problems.
8. Where does "What if the Clippers never traded Baron Davis?" rank among the all-time NBA What Ifs? Definitely top 50. And climbing. It was already one of the dumbest NBA trades6 of the past 10 years before the amnesty clause became part of the new labor agreement … at that point, it became one of the dumber trades in sports history. Should the Clippers be criticized for not guessing in January, with a labor stoppage looming, that the amnesty clause would potentially be in play? Yes and no — yes, they should have known, and no, they couldn't have known (because they're owned by a slum lord who has no idea what's going on). There's more, check the link (number 8) for the full discussion.
Clips have to look into this. He's probably out of shape but he's still an upgrade over Cook and Jones. Chauncey needs to convince him to come out here for one final run.
Surprisingly no one posted this... adding to the intrigue is the fact this was written a few days BEFORE the season started. Looking at the next 6 games, the next 3 are particularly important as the Clippers can't afford to dig themselves in a 2-6 start (road game vs Portland, Lakers and Heat at home).
Being a benevolent soul I decided to share a list of things the Clippers can feasibly do to make them Champions THIS year. As it stands the Clipper are looking like a good playoff team held back...
Best Question and Answer.... 5. Will a shortened season help or hurt the Clippers? Kevin Arnovitz, ESPN.com: With Paul and Billups running the show, I don't think the turnover in personnel matters much. And, besides, you can fit Del Negro's offensive playbook on the back of a take-out menu.
First off this is scary stuff as another young guy in their 20s has a heart problem. Still maybe its possible the Clippers could get Hayes for the 2.5 million exception. He'd be a good backup big behind DJ and Griffin. He can even give DJ some tips on shooting free throws.
This analysis actually came before the trade so its safe to assume he approves of the deal now.
Did it again, he drafted a 26 year old towards the end of the draft. No real harm done but this could only happen to David Kahn right? Olshey supporters will no doubt rally behind this later on when they point out that the Clippers didn't draft a 26 year old guy so therefore it could be worse.
Requires Insider to see the entire draft. But here's the excerpt on the Clippers. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS GRADE: C- Round 1: None. Round 2: Trey Thompkins (37, obtained from Detroit), Travis Leslie (47, obtained from Houston) Analysis: If the Clippers had sat on their hands at the February trade deadline, we'd be talking about how Kyrie Irving was the final piece of the puzzle for a young Clippers team. Instead, they traded their first-round pick to Cleveland, Mo Williams is their point guard and the Clippers have Thompkins and Leslie, teammates from Georgia who've underperformed for the past two years. Both have talent appropriate for the second round, but I still can't help but think that the Clippers would've been better off with Irving and Baron Davis in L.A. instead of Irving and Davis in Cleveland.
Here's a thread for us to discuss the rumors, trades and picks of tonight's draft. Clips have the 37th and 47th pick in the 2nd round of the draft. Here's a good twitter feed to follow...
Requires ESPN Insider to read the entire article but here is the part about the Clips. Los Angeles Clippers Statistical weakness: Avoiding turnovers (30th) Weakest positions: SF The Clippers have young starters at shooting guard (Eric Gordon), power forward (Blake Griffin) and center (restricted free agent DeAndre Jordan). Point guard is covered for now by Mo Williams, with Eric Bledsoe as the heir apparent. That leaves small forward as the lone position in flux. Al-Farouq Aminu, last year's lottery pick, is the likely long-term solution. However, Aminu is years away from developing into a starter, if ever. After a brief run of fluky 3-point shooting early in the season came to an end, Aminu found it impossible to score efficiently in the NBA. He made just 43.7 percent of his 2-point attempts, a number that must improve at least to 50 percent. Ideally, the Clippers would upgrade small forward with a player who is young enough to grow with the rest of their core. A rumored trade that would send Chris Kaman to Philadelphia in exchange for Andre Iguodala would be nearly perfect from L.A.'s perspective, giving the team an athletic stopper on the wing. Failing that, the Clippers should try to avoid taking on long contracts that would limit their flexibility. Offering salary-cap relief for a player with a couple of years left on his deal, like Atlanta's Josh Smith, would make sense.
Since the draft lottery order was announced it became evident how important the cap space created from the Baron Davis-Mo Williams swap would be in determining the outcome of the trade. Assuming...
According to the report, the Cavs would send their $14.5 million trade exception to the Pistons for the eighth pick and veteran shooting guard Richard Hamilton.http://www.foxsportsohio.com/05/29/11/For-Cavs-trade-for-No-2-wont-be-easy/landing_cavaliers.html?blockID=529305&feedID=3724
Another option to explore would be adding a starting center via a trade. In this scenario, a player like the Clippers' Chris Kaman would make plenty of sense. Kaman is in the last year of his contract, which pays him $12.2 million. Assuming the Clippers ink DeAndre Jordan to an new deal they may be willing to move Kaman, especially if it saves Donald Sterling (L.A.'s notoriously stingy owner) some money. What about something like this: JO, Avery Bradley and a future draft pick (and cash) to the Clippers for Kaman (and try to find a 3rd team to absorb the salary difference)?http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=19861
This is a interesting piece from ESPN on Franchise Players. It looks at the guys that play both offense and defense. One name on the list that has been bandied about around here shows up. "Andre Iguodala -- Offense 65, Defense 95 LeBron will tell you that only two players have averaged 14 points, five rebounds and six assists this season: himself and Iguodala. It's fitting the two have gone head to head in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, because in many ways Iguodala is LeBron Lite, a wing player who impacts the game in so many ways on both ends of the floor. Iguodala's reputation has swung like a pendulum over the past few seasons, from underappreciated to overpaid to underappreciated again. Sure, he's been hobbled this season, but the 27-year-old still ranks as one of the best defenders in the league. According to 82games, his opponent PER is a league-best 8.8, which means he basically reduces his counterpart to Travis Outlaw-esque production. That's value. Iguodala's ability to guard multiple positions has also helped the Sixers play four points better per 100 possessions with the 6-foot-6 freak athlete on the floor. He may not be a go-to scorer, but he doesn't need to be to have a major positive impact on the game."
Clips obviously hired the wrong guy. "[I'm] very happy for him," Noah said Sunday. "Very well deserving. Coach is one of the hardest workers I've ever been around. He stays in late. He's the first one here. He was here for me all summer, working me out, and I feel like I really improved as a player because of him in just one year. Very tough coach. And I'm happy for him."
You need Insider to read the entire article but here is the part that pertains to the Clippers. Interesting (worrisome?) that Pelton thinks the Clippers are going to preserve cap space next year (so I guess no SF?) to be a big player in 2012 (the Decision Part Deux?) 5. Los Angeles Clippers Why they'll make the playoffs: Two words: Blake Griffin. Why they'll stay in the lottery: The Clippers face an even bigger deficit to overcome than the Nets, having finished 14 games out of the playoffs and 11 behind the Rockets. Certainly, the Clippers are a long shot, but there is too much talent on hand to entirely rule out the possibility that they develop ahead of schedule. Between their 1-13 start and Eric Gordon suffering a bone fracture in the wrist of his shooting arm, the Clippers were better than .500 (16-13). Meanwhile, Mo Williams is a more reliable option at the point than Baron Davis. The downside is the Clippers are unlikely to add much to their lineup this offseason. They dealt their first-round pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Davis-Williams trade and will probably forego free agency in order to keep their salary cap clean for the summer of 2012, when they could be substantially below the salary cap.
Buchar and Broussard debate on which team will improve more (in terms of win improvement over this year) next year. Broussard picks the Nets to improve their record more the addition of Deron Williams while Buchar picks the Clips because of Blake Griffin.
You'll need Insider to see the entire article. Here is the Clipper relevant part. Los Angeles Clippers Record: 32-50 2011-12 $M: -$8.7 The Clippers stand on a rock-solid foundation. Now it's time to build around it. Where should they begin? The small forward position needs a filling like an ill tooth. For all the promise in Al-Farouq Aminu, a big hole exists between Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin in the lineup. It would make a ton of sense for the Clippers to try to engage the Nuggets in a deal for Danilo Gallinari, but it may prove difficult to make a deal work unless they part with Gordon. A package including Eric Bledsoe, Aminu, Chris Kaman's expiring deal and a future first-rounder may be a good start. Aside from the small forward position, the Clips need their point guard position to clean up a bit. With Bledsoe coughing it up seemingly every other possession, it's no wonder the Clippers rank at the bottom of the league in turnover rate. Mo Williams certainly isn't helping matters there, either.
Looks like this will finally be resolved in a couple of months. Just another black eye for the franchise.
Good list (although they did a poor job of ranking the players) of upcoming free agents, their current salaries and their pending free agency status (unrestricted versus restricted). Obviously the SF is the biggest area of need for the Clips (be sure to check the SG list as well as some SFs are on that list) but also check out the C list since Kaman is one of the more valuable trade assets the Clippers have.

The Google translation of Namibian cyclist Dan Craven's biography on the Team Europcar site reads thus: Dan Craven. "This is a Namibian cyclist atypical personality and look unkempt. His arrival continues the philosophy of the team: popularize international cycling and provide opportunities for good cyclist from countries that open gradually to the sport."
That is Dan Craven down pat. Atypical, unkempt and a man who has seen his career burst open with opportunity at a time when, at 31, he may have thought it was all over. Craven was given a contract with Europcar, a World Tour team, and immediately, before he had time to stroke his beard in unkempt, atypical wonder, was thrust into his first Grand Tour, the Vuelta a Espana. And there he was, riding on the front along with MTN Qhubeka to try to bridge the split in the bunch in the fifth stage of the Vuelta on Wednesday.
Somewhere, in a drawer or on a hanger, I have a T-shirt that bears the autograph of the hardest man in the hardest professional sport. Jens Voigt put his scrawl on a T-shirt that bears the legend Cervelo, the name of the Canadian bike manufacturers who sponsored Team CSC at the time.

On India's shortened tour of South Africa at the end of last year, a visiting journalist wasn't shy about telling me how much disdain he had for the BCCI. They weren't overly fond of the bullying and posturing of the executives, and were suspicious of their motives and dealings.
He took pride in keeping the BCCI as honest as he could. He had been called to one side during the tour by a BCCI employee and asked about a piece he had written on how South African cricket had been shabbily treated by the hacking of the series. There were others who did not follow his line. It was explained that while many of the other Indian cricket writers were not fans of the BCCI, they did not quite like the rest of the world slagging off their union – that was their job. They might be utter scoundrels, but they are our utter scoundrels.
At 6pm on Saturday, after the heavens opened and turned Loftus and the first Springbok match into a sodden Gomorrah of a mess that not even fire and brimstone could correct, a little African team made a big African dream come true for six Africans.
Sending out a press release to announce the first African team to take part in the Tour de France during a Bok match seemed strange timing. The naming of the nine men in the MTN-Qhubeka squad to take on the Vuelta a Espana, and the six Africans in particular, deserved a fanfare, a celebration and capital letters.
On Tuesday, a Robin Williams fan tweeted: "Sigh, I really wish Robin Williams had gone out and ridden his bike yesterday." Cycling may not have saved Williams, but, then again, it may have given him pause to think and reason to carry on for another day.
Williams was a cyclist. It was, he tweeted, the thing he looked forward to the most. "My favourite thing to do is ride a bicycle. I ride road bikes. And for me, it's mobile meditation. It is the closest you can get to flying."

The No. 8 Michigan St. Spartans have enjoyed a solid hold on the in-state rivalry with the No. 4 Michigan Wolverines in recent years, but this year might be a bit different.
For the first time since 1998, the Wolverines are ranked higher than the Spartans. Not only that, but for the first time ever the two schools will meet as top-10 ranked schools.
For more on the teams, visit THE ONLY COLORS and MAIZE N BREW
It will be an uphill battle for Michigan against their in-state rivals. The Spartans have won 19 of the past 25 meetings between the two schools and have won 32 of their last 33 games at home. Michigan started out last week on the right foot with an overtime win over Ohio State but couldn't continue the good times, falling to Wisconsin in overtime on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Spartans are doing what all good Tom Izzo-coached teams do -- peak late in the season. Michigan State has won nine of its last 10 games and is currently riding a three-game win streak.
The Wolverines run a high-scoring offense powered by guards Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr., who combine for 34 points per game, or close to 44 percent of Michigan's scoring output. They do it off of efficient shooting as well, both hitting 48 percent of his shots from the floor.
The two guards will have their hands full against the Spartans defense, which allows only a tad under 60 points per game, 17 points fewer than what the Wolverines score per game. The Wolverines aren't as good as the Spartans on defense, sitting No. 32 in KenPom's efficiency standards. In conference play, opponents have shot 48.3 percent on two-point shots against the Wolverines.
As a team, the Spartans shoot the ball well at 46.8 percent from the floor. Forwards Branden Dawson and Adreian Payne have especially soft touches down low, but are averaging better than 50 percent from the floor. The Spartans bring a balanced scoring attack with five players averaging nine points or more, while running about eight players with a good chunk of playing time a game.
The Michigan starters, on the other hand, see a lot more of the court than most players on the team. Burke, Hardaway Jr., Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III all average more than 30 minutes of playing time and the Wolverines are coming off the hardest stretch of their entire schedule, a loss at Indiana, overtime win against Ohio State and an overtime loss on the road against Wisconsin.
This is the first of two meetings between the schools. They play again in Ann Arbor on March 2.
Game time: 9 p.m. ET
Location: Jack Breslin Student Events Center, East Lansing, Mich.

The proposal to change high school scheduling has been an on-going conversation since last spring. District officials say it's an effort to save money without endangering student's education. The board heard the proposal at Monday night's work session.
In the proposal, the high school schedule would move from 7-periods to 8-periods. With the current schedule, students have four-90 minute classes that meet every other day. With the proposed model, students would still have four classes a day, but three would be 90-minute classes and meet every other day and one would be a 50-minute class meeting every day. School's start and end time would not be affected, the rest of the time in school would be a mini-period called Increased Learning Time (ILT), which focuses on acceleration and remediation. ILT would allow students to make up missed work, learn test-taking strategies and pursue credit recovery.
The administration says the current high school schedule is the most expensive scheduling structure a high school can have. With the district 10 million dollars in the red for next fiscal year, the proposed changes are expected to save the district $4 million dollars.
"Money was the initial driving factor," says Lewis. "We do realize the shortcomings of the financial aspect so we're trying to make sure we do things that will be the most efficient and effective going forward."
Lewis says the district would save money by reducing staff by 15%. The goal is to handle the reductions through attrition and reassignment to avoid layoffs, but Lewis says that's no guarantee.
"It will be a challenge for all of us in the system to try and find places through attrition to meet the needs and assure everyone is qualified and certified which is obviously a quality that we have to maintain," says Lewis.
District officials say there is no significant evidence that shows certain high school schedules are more superior with student success. Assistant Superintendent Rebecca Bratten pointed out only 35% of the districts in Georgia have these eight-period schedules.
The board will vote on the changes at next week's board meeting. If the board does not approve the changes, Lewis says furlough days would most likely have to be taken.More

I just came back from a long mind clearing walk.I was covered in mud from road construction.I went to come down my driveway and spotted about six tiny rabbits in the bottom of a crepe myrtle bush.I guess the mama couldn't wait to dig her burrow any deeper They are so tiny!I proceeded to hose my shoes and legs off and saw some more babies! I have a lot of work to do,including mowing the grass before we get a ticket!Have a Beautiful Day ya'll!!! SUSAN
I have a lot of family living close to the tornado ravaged area.The oldest informed me that everyone is accounted for and okay!My heart just aches for them and especially the kids!I saw the news clip of the elderly lady thanking God that she was alive but her little dog hadn't made it when,all of a sudden the dog appeared out of the rubble!!!!! People are on facebook making stupid comments about why live in tornado alley??We all live in tornado possible homes.I am praying for them all!!! Susan It came to my attention after I wrote my blog,I did lose a cousin at the school!
I was blessed on Mother's Day with the best news!My #3 DD is expecting her 1st child.She is scared and excited.I was just shopping the other day for a friends daughter's new arrival and could not believe the choices of everything.Wipe warmer..really?How did I ever survive without all the things on the market today?LOL...my daughter just found out and I'm worrying about what to get her! SUSAN
Hurrying along the corridor of the hospital and bracing myself for what was to come.I took a deep breath and stepped in.Lying on the bed was my beautiful oldest daughter.She looked pale and started crying when she spied me at the foot of the bed.Mom,she held out her arms.I sat beside her and held her tight.My mind is going haywire with the most awful thoughts.I wiped her tears and said The nurse called me,whats wrong?I have a kidney infection and the Dr.said he wants me to take tests for diabetes.Im so scared she was crying again.WHEW!I let the air escape my lungs.It felt like my legs would give out.Is that all?You would do anything to get attention I laughed and kissed her nose.She was discharged and made a follow-up appointment.She lives life to the fullest and eats anything she wants.She smokes,drinks,sleeps and wont exercise.She is shocked that she might have diabetes!I took her to the library to read about her condition,she was dazed at the effects it has on a person not caring about their health. SUSAN
Someone very dear to my heart,she is gone now, said those words.She said That..You can change the body you are given but,you will still be YOU!So Love yourself every day God graces you on this Earth.After all you should love and appreciate what you have.Some people don't have health but they are happy.Every time I step into the senior center/retirement home...smiles and hugs greet me!It makes my heart grow with happiness each and every time.Many have been placed by un-caring offspring and never visit them.Cora,does not have legs but she has loads of love in her heart!She exercises each day and drinks her water.Jerry sweats to the oldies and flashes his guns with a silly grin.I have fought weight since I was 26,thats half my life!If I fall,I get up!God gives me the strenghth to Love ME and If I have a whisper of negative thought,I refuse to let it in.All of Us have the power to be strong no matter what comes our way.If weight is gained we can lose it and by gods grace I will and You will too...The only way is Self Love!!Let us count our Blessings today and always!!! SUSAN

Star Wars
Star Wars. Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise centered on a film series created by George Lucas.
The film series, consisting of two trilogies, has spawned an extensive media franchise called the Expanded Universe including books, television series, computer and video games, and comic books. These supplements to the franchise resulted in significant development of the series' fictional universe, keeping the franchise active in the 16-year interim between the two film trilogies. The franchise depicts a galaxy described as far, far away in the distant past, and it commonly portrays Jedi as a representation of good, in conflict with the Sith, their evil counterpart. Their weapon of choice, the lightsaber, is commonly recognized in popular culture. The franchise's storylines contain many themes, with strong influences from philosophy and religion.

Taglines Opening Crawl[edit] Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The Empire Strikes Back, later released as Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, is a 1980 American epic space opera film directed by Irvin Kershner, produced by Gary Kurtz, and written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan, with George Lucas writing the film's story and serving as executive producer.
Of the six main Star Wars films, it was the second to be released and the fifth in terms of internal chronology. Following a difficult production, The Empire Strikes Back was released on May 21, 1980, and initially received mixed reviews from critics, although it has since grown in esteem, becoming the most critically acclaimed chapter in the Star Wars saga and is considered one of the greatest films ever made.[6][7][8][9] It became the highest-grossing film of 1980 and, to date, has earned more than $538 million worldwide from its original run and several re-releases. When adjusted for inflation, it is the 12th-highest-grossing film in North America.[10] Star Wars. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Le logo de Star Wars tel qu'il apparaît en introduction des films et sur de nombreux produits dérivés. Star Wars (à l'origine nommée en France et au Québec sous son titre français, La Guerre des étoiles) est une épopée cinématographique de science-fiction créée par George Lucas en 1977. Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Lucas began writing the script to Star Wars after completing his previous film American Graffiti and based the plot outline on Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress and the 40's Flash Gordon serials.
Lucas approached Alan Ladd, Jr. after United Artists and Universal Pictures rejected his script and the project was planned to be financed and released through 20th Century Fox. During this time, the script underwent numerous changes and Lucas founded Industrial Light & Magic to create the visual effects for the film. Filming began on March 22, 1976, and was shot in various locations in Tunisia, England and Guatemala. During production, Lucas and the crew encountered numerous problems such as weather problems, malfunctioning equipment, as well as budgetary concerns. Eventually, Lucas, along with producer Gary Kurtz and production supervisor Robert Watts, split the crew into three units to meet the studio's deadlines.
Français: Arts: Audiovisuel: Cinéma: Films: S: Star Wars - série. Star Wars Origins - Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey. In 1949 Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) made a big splash in the field of mythology with his book The Hero With a Thousand Faces.
This book built on the pioneering work of German anthropologist Adolph Bastian (1826-1905), who first proposed the idea that myths from all over the world seem to be built from the same "elementary ideas. " Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung (1875-1961) named these elementary ideas "archetypes," which he believed to be the building blocks not only of the unconscious mind, but of a collective unconscious. In other words, Jung believed that everyone in the world is born with the same basic subconscious model of what a "hero" is, or a "mentor" or a "quest," and that's why people who don't even speak the same language can enjoy the same stories. How Star Wars Changed the World. Hopefully reading this infographic will give you a nice break, writing about it has for me.

Now after finding this infographic, all I want to do is put everything away and watch Star Wars. Whether you are a fan of the double triology (? Sixology? Star Wars Origins: How did George Lucas create Star Wars? A critic might say "Oh, Lucas combined Flash Gordon with Akira Kurosawa, threw in some science fiction novels, comic books, The Wizard of Oz, and sewed it all up with Joseph Campbell's ideas on the structure of myth.
" And Lucas did do all those things, but that can't be the final answer. Why? Every storyteller would like to connect with people as deeply as Lucas did with Star Wars, and everyone has access to the same raw materials. Star Wars Lightsabres Made Reality By Science. Star Wars fans will feel the force is definitely with them after a scientific breakthrough which has turned the lightsabre from science fiction to fact.
Harvard and MIT physicists writing in the new edition of Nature say they have discovered a way to bind photons together in order to form a new molecule, which behaves almost exactly like the lethal devices wielded by Jedi Knights. Harvard university physics professor Mikhail Lukin said: "Most of the properties of light we know about originate from the fact that photons are massless and do not interact. " This is illustrated when two laser beams are shone at each other, and they pass through one another.
Professor Lukin said: "What we have done is create a special type of medium in which photons interact with each other so strongly that they act as though they have mass, and bind together to form molecules.

The Mythology of Star Wars [FULL DOCUMENTARY] Star Wars Facts (starwars_facts) SWTOR-GUIDE. The Darkest Lord – 25 Spine-Chilling Darth Vader Fan Art. As Star Wars has gone on to become a popular culture phenomenon, much of the credit goes to its characters. Darth Vader, for one, has helped the films achieve massive success. His rise as a Jedi Knight to his fall to the dark side as documented in the six "episodes" of the franchise is not only regarded as one of the most iconic villains in the history of film, but also one of the best characters in cinema. Despite being billed as the main antagonist in the latter trilogy of the series, one of the reasons for the popularity of Darth Vader among people is his depth and complexity. The Dark Lord may have gotten his moral allegiance twisted along the way, but no one can deny that he is indeed badass when it counted the most.
Heavy breathing and iconic costume aside, the cultural impact of Darth Vader outside film is undeniable, as proven by the tributes and parodies in the media. Force (Star Wars) Lucas has attributed the origins of "The Force" to a 1963 abstract film by Arthur Lipsett, which sampled from many sources. One of the audio sources Lipsett sampled for 21-87 was a conversation between artificial intelligence pioneer Warren S. McCulloch and Roman Kroitor, a cinematographer who went on to develop IMAX. In the face of McCulloch's arguments that living beings are nothing but highly complex machines, Kroitor insists that there is something more: "Many people feel that in the contemplation of nature and in communication with other living things, they become aware of some kind of force, or something, behind this apparent mask which we see in front of us, and they call it God.
"When asked if this was the source of "the Force," Lucas confirms that his use of the term in Star Wars was "an echo of that phrase in 21-87. " Jedi Temple vs Library in Dublin.

Daily Manna
Daily Manna is a daily Bible devotional service provided by Biblica. The Scripture is provided in many forms and is new every day. It is a great way to receive the encouragement and hope found in the Word of God.
Matthew 9:9-13
The Calling of Matthew
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

It doesn't rain much in Los Angeles, but it does rain: in an average year, enough rain falls throughout Los Angeles County to supply 650,000 families with enough water to live off if we captured it. For this reason, for more than twenty years TreePeople has been championing rainwater harvesting as a key part of our water supply. On June 28th, it became an even more economically and politically viable solution, as Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 2403 into law.… Read more >>
Park operations director Jim Hardie calls it the "grasscrete circle"—also known as the TreePeople cistern, a 216,000-gallon underground storage tank, where we save rainwater filtered and collected from rooftops and the Parking Grove. The stored water irrigates TreePeople's grounds in the warm months. For the past four years, the circle has been planted with wildflowers, which look gorgeous but require regular weeding. Jim is excited about a low-maintenance alternative called purple needlegrass or Stipa pulchra or Nassala pulchra—the official state grass of California!… Read more >>

Founded in 1959, Sea Ray Boats is the world's largest manufacturer of pleasure boats ranging from 17 to 61 feet, with over 40 different models. Sport boats, cruisers, sport yachts – you name it, there's a good chance Sea Ray builds it. Sea Ray has over 400 dealers on six continents, making it one of the best-known boating brands across the globe. And every boat they build is designed to meet and exceed both national and international standards, set by organizations including the USCG, NMMA, ABYC, and ISO. They're also built to meet and exceed your expectations as an owner, and if history is any indication, they've been quite successful in this regard. In fact, Sea Ray has won multiple awards from the likes of JD Powers and Associates, the NMMA's Customer Satisfaction awards, and a long list of marine magazines and publications.
