London tries on grown-up beauty
Traditionally London fashion week is where the kids come out to play. Creativity and exuberance have fuelled London's reputation as the place where eclectic style flourishes and the avant-garde have a cup of tea with the eccentric. However this season, London is trying on grown-up for size and the hair and beauty looks reflected this new adult mood. Perhaps it's not cool to be hair fiddling whilst the euro is burning so the double-dip recessionista is packing away her statement looks and will be wearing her polished and sultry face next season.
There was a distinct lack of colour and the word on the make-up artists' minds seemed to be tonal. Cheeks were contoured, eyes shaded and lips muted. It was all about emphasising face structure and not colour. Limiting themselves to a neutral palette, the make-up artists used different ways to highlight key features. At Felder Felder, make-up artist Georgina Graham created a shiny glossy eye by pressing a shimmery pigment into the lids and at J.JS Lee the key-make-up artist Terry Barber put a 50s eye through an x-ray machine painting on a white cat eyeliner on the models faces but anchored with strong black lashes to avoid an alien look.
Drama on eyes without colour was seen through a variety of smokey looks ranging from the softest grey haze at Burberry through to petrol toned dark lids at Paul Smith where Petros Petrohilos used a dark blue shimmery pencil to shade in the entire eye. Bypassing the eyelids entirely the look at McQ showed a deeply shaded crease and inner corner of the eye for a severe sculpted look which made the models look like frowning statues. Overall the London look next season requires a product list more about skin care and textured products to create dimension, shine, shadow and tones. Blusher has taken the season off.
For hair the natural soft looks dominated. The girls at Christopher Kane looked like they had styled themselves, with natural textured loose hair worn centre-parted for the ultimate youthful natural look although those without naturally gorgeous youthful hair can fake it with a hairdryer and texturising spray. If all else fails backcomb like mad and push it into a low ponytail for an easy versatile style as shown at House of Holland and Paul Smith.
If all this sounds too safe and monotone for the vibrant of heart, take comfort in the nails which rebelled against the pared down make-up at House of Holland. Sophy Robson took the houndstooth pattern from the collection and created a custom transfer to finish the nails in either a mid-tone blue or pink. All bets were off at Meadham Kirchoff where strokes of bright colour were used to paint on the vital lines on the girls' faces for Picasso beauties that had stepped out of the canvas. The rainbow explosion provided an alternative for those whose war paint needs to make a colourful point.

Don't Let Putin Grab Ukraine
Timothy Snyder, New York Times
The Associated Press
As Russian leaders, diplomats and commentators ponder the division of Ukraine, we must begin to ask what this would actually mean. If the present crisis ends with the fragmentation of the Ukrainian state, the result will be disastrous for all concerned, including Russia. The risk is that, in conditions of chaos and in the absence of a decisive Western stance, Russia could follow the logic of its current commitments to a very dangerous conclusion.
TAGGED: Ukraine, Russia, Vladimir Putin

how do you say "wildcat" in italian...
The girl looks at me and goes, "Spotswood. Spotswood. Do you have a brother?"
"Uh, yeah. He's right over there."
Screams, yells, hugs, and reunions. God Bless Marin.
My journal that I carry everywhere with me is now filled with the names and e-mail addresses of stunning, well-traveled twenty-one year olds who I've promised party invites to. Greg and Dori claimed to be joining us for an "after dinner drink" and ended up staying till closing. The best thing about Greg trashed is that he in incapable of letting anyone else pay for a drink. He's also incapable of brevity, but it's a small price to pay.
Kate and I have a new game called "Noses Across Italy." At any opportune moment, we've taken to yelling "Noses!" and having someone take our photo, nose to nose. We plan to make a coffee table book from our images, and you'll enjoy a preview when I get home and load this bizarity onto the blog. Noses will continue into the States, so prepare yourselves. We make everyone do noses, and while it sounds weird, the charm of the results are staggering.
I've become disgruntled with the fact that few Italian establishments employ the practice of regular toilet seats. I blame the understandable fear that Italian men, lazy from the drink, will find no need to lift said seat, but those of us of the female persuasion must suffer the uncomfortable and filthy consequences. Kate claims that next time she travels in Italy, she's bringing her own toilet seat.
There's a bar here called Angie's Pub where Alex and I spent New Years, and then recently, we introduced it to Kate, Matt, and Jen. The walls are covered with graffiti in a back room and it looks awesome. In fact, there's a great "noses" in front of a graffiti covered wall that really captures the essence of Angie's. Should you one day find yourself in Florence, go to Angie's Pub and read the walls. I'm responsible for a good square foot, and depending on who you are, there might be specific notes to you personally. My deepest darkest secrets are on that wall. You'll just have to come here to find out.
While wandering around the Uffizzi yesterday, I stood in front of Botticcelli's "The Birth of Venus." Mesmerized by it's size and beauty, I suddenly had a coughing fit, a huge, loud, unstoppable, distracting to others coughing fit. I think security was alerted, thinking it was an elaborate ruse to distract while my accomplice stole some masterpiece. I coughed so hard, my fabulous black hat fell off, and in my haste to pick it up, my purse turned upside down and loudly emptied onto the floor, before a monstrous group of Japanese tourists. Glasses, receipts, my camera, books, make-up, hair accessories and keyes fell in all directions as I scrambled to grab my shit and get the fuck out of there, still coughing the entire time. I had intended to wander the museum looking fabulous and artsy, and left having created an international incident. All I could do to recover was scream "Noses!", grab a Japanese tourist, slam my nose into theirs, and take a photo...

The developers of Lafayette's highly successful River Ranch are set to bring their same concept and formula to Lake Charles.
"Our development company is primarily in the business of developing smart-growth communities," said Robert Daigle, River Ranch Development Company managing partner.
The "Morganfield Development" will sit on 277 acres south of town on the north and south sides of the 3500 to 4200 block of East McNeese Street.
The developers said it will be about the same size as the River Ranch development with roughly 1,000 residential units. The homes will range from town homes to cottages, and mid-size to estate size homes.
"The project will also have a mixed-use component. We plan on having professional office space, about a half million square feet of retail over a number of years," explained Daigle.
The City of Lake Charles welcomed the development with open arms. The City Council unanimously voted to annex the 277 acres of property.
"I think our staff is ready to go in and make it a great experience for you. I think they are all ready. I think it is a great development. It's going to be sitting in my district so I hope you can fill it up quick," said Dana Carl Jackson, Lake Charles City Council.
However, with a project this size there were some traffic concerns.
"In this area, would the East McNeese Street Extension - that's going to be a very busy roadway - and I was just wondering what plans are being made to handle that kind of traffic coming in and out," said Luvertha August, Lake Charles City Council.
Lake Charles City Administrator John Cardone said with the five-lane McNeese Street Extension project, they don't expect to have any major traffic jams in the area.
Meanwhile, this is the company's first project in Lake Charles and they believe it will be a successful venture.
"This is a market that excites us. With all of the economic development about to happen here, we think it's a community that is right for something like this and we are pretty excited about it," said Daigle.
Daigle said they hope to break ground on the first phase of the development within the next 60 days.

Fresh calls for officer suspension over Hillsborough
There are new calls today for the chief constable of West Yorkshire to be suspended while his involvement in events following the Hillsborough disaster is investigated.
For the past week Sir Norman Bettison has found himself under mounting pressure over the role he played in the aftermath of the 96 deaths at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium. He has strenuously denied being part of the attempt to shift blame for the disaster from police to the victims.
He has now been accused of being part of a bid to prosecute Lord Justice Taylor - the man who led the first Hillsborough inquiry - over claims the high court judge blamed South Yorkshire Police before he had begun his investigation.
According to some, including barrister Vera Baird QC, it's evidence of a 'black propaganda' operation by the force.
– Vera Baird QC
"All of the Hillsborough cover-up involves him in this black propaganda unit, whatever role he played, he is put in that unit. But on top of that he apparently drove an attempt to prosecute Lord Taylor. I think it doubles up the argument why the police authority should be looking very closely at whether he is a person who should remain active in policing while the matters are investigated."
But that is another claim refuted by the West Yorkshire chief constable.
– Sir Norman Bettison
"There wasn't a black ops unit, I wasn't part of it. I was part of a team that was trying to put together the facts in a concentrated time period."
Bradford West MP George Galloway has put a motion to the House of Commons demanding Sir Norman's resignation. West Yorkshire Police has referred the case to its own special committee for investigation. Throughout Sir Norman Bettison has maintained he has nothing to hide.

Holiday cheer has officially spread into downtown Elkhart.
The city held their annual "Winterfest" parade along Main Street Saturday night. Parade-goers were able to see some elaborate lighted floats, some real-life princesses, grab some candy, and catch a glimpse of Santa before he drops down the chimney.
The event had some local kids sharing what gets them into the holiday spirit. They told us they like presents.
And the city lit their Christmas tree right after the parade. You can go take a look for yourself, it's in City Center Park.

Shopping sting trial: Judge gives defense time to research law
"To be honest, I don't even want to pick up a quarter that's laying on the ground," Alexander Ramasci testified during an afternoon trial in Manchester District Court.
It will be at least three weeks before the judge issues a verdict.
Manchester police arrested Ramasci in early December, after he found a DVD player and a purse in an unattended shopping cart at the T.J. Maxx plaza on South Willow Street, put it in his car trunk and left.
"It was an early Christmas present for him. He just came upon this lost merchandise and wanted to take it home," prosecutor Rose Marie Balboni said in summing up the case.
But Ramasci's lawyer said his client planned to bring the items home, find an identification and track the owner, as his mother did when he found a wallet as a child.
"This is insane that we're setting people up to find things and not even giving them a reasonable amount of time to bring it home," said Joseph Kelly Levasseur.
Ramasci is charged with theft of lost or mislaid property. In a move unusual for a district court, Judge William Lyons gave Balboni and Levasseur 20 days to research the law on two legal issues.
One is what is a reasonable measure to take in returning property to its rightful owner. The other is the concept of legal impossibility. In doing so, Lyons appears to be paying heed to Levasseur's claim that the property wasn't lost because its owner, the Manchester Police Department, knew where it was.
During the trial, Lyons had to rein in Levasseur, who as an alderman has drawn the ire of police for his public references to a 2010 bar fight at the Strange Brew Tavern involving police.
"We're not here to try the police; we're here to try the defendant," Lyons said, after Levasseur questioned whether police knew the details of the law they had charged Ramasci with.
In testimony, police and Ramasci differed on several issues.
Ramasci said there were few available parking spots when he pulled up next to the shopping cart.
He said he didn't rummage through the purse, for fear someone would think he was a thief. He waited around a couple of minutes, then put the items in his trunk.
He went into Game Stop, returned to his car, left, and was pulled over.
He said detectives frisked him and started to accuse him of selling drugs. Detectives never spoke about the purse until they arrested him, he said.
"I was so thrown off guard by them accusing me of selling drugs, it never popped into my head," he said when asked why he didn't tell police about the purse.
In his testimony, Detective Michael Donahue said the parking lot had many available spaces when Ramasci pulled in about 7 p.m. on Dec. 3.
He said the young man pulled up to the shopping cart, rolled down his car window, rummaged through the purse, then pulled forward, parked the car, looked around, stashed the purse and merchandise in his trunk, went into Game Stop, returned to his car and took off.
When pulled over, he never spoke to the uniformed officer about the purse. And when detectives asked Ramasci about "suspicious activity" in the parking lot, Ramasci said he knew nothing. Donahue said he used a ruse about drug activity.
Balboni said Ramasci's many actions - putting the items in the trunk rather than the front seat, not telling people at Game Stop about his find, and not mentioning the purse when police pulled him over - show his guilt.
"A normal person who doesn't intend to steal things has a different reaction," Donahue said.
Lyons said he thinks no New Hampshire court cases have addressed the issue of reasonableness in theft charges, so he urged the lawyers to look to case law in other states. He said New Hampshire law may have some cases that deal with legal impossibility.
Ramasci was told not to show up to his part-time job at the Hooksett state liquor store after his arrest.
He said Monday he's been unable to get a job.

American Premiere of Wayne McGregor | Random Dance's ATOMOS Set for Alexander Kasser Theater, 3/15-23
Wayne McGregor, one of the brightest stars on the international dance circuit, brings his London-based company, Wayne McGregor | Random Dance, to Peak Performances for the American premiere of "Atomos" at the Alexander Kasser Theater in Montclair, NJ, March 15-23.
While McGregor is known for integrating up-to-date scientific research into his choreographic process, his dances radiate with an emotional poetry and physical urgency that belies their origins. Case in point: "Atomos," whose title is Greek for indivisible.
On a stage saturated in Lucy Carter's spectacular colors and designs, and bemeath seven video screens suspended from above, the Random dancers inhabit moves simultaneously sensual and cool. The dance is dominated by striking duets and trios in which the dancers' splayed, dislocated limbs create radically new shapes as their bodies melt into each other, momentarily becoming one with the other. Behind them, the 52-inch, 3-D video screens are filled with evocative and evolving imagery enhanced by the 3-D glasses worn by the audience. The dance, a feast of color, design and restrained emotion, is performed to a commissioned score by the composer/musicians A Winged Victory for the Sullen joined by members of the American Contemporary Music Ensemble. The music will be played live. The film and set photography is by Ravi Deepres, and the costume design is by Studio XO.
The third McGregor dance to be seen on the Kasser stage, "Atomos" received its world premiere in October 2013, at Sadler Wells, where Random is in residence.
Wayne McGregor is a multi-award-winning British choreographer and director, internationally renowned for his physically testing choreography and groundbreaking collaborations across dance, film, music, visual art, technology and science.

Healthy Cats
Common Allergies in Cats
An allergy is an unpleasant physical reaction caused by the cat's immune system overreacting to a food, something inhaled, or something in the cat's environment. Without an immune system, any animal would not be able to build up resistance to viruses, bacteria, foreign proteins, and other irritating substances that get into the system. Sometimes, however, the immune system reacts to things that aren't really a danger. Certain foods or substances such as pollens, powders, feathers, wool, house dust, and insect bites trigger a reaction typified by itching and sometimes sneezing, coughing, swelling of the eyelids, tearing, or vomiting and diarrhea. This reaction occurs in cats as well as in humans. In rare instances, the immune system reacts against the cells of the cat's own body-these are autoimmune problems.
For a cat to be allergic to something, exposure must occur at least twice. What the cat is allergic to is called the allergen. The way the body responds to that allergen is called a hypersensitivity reaction or an allergic reaction.
Recommended Related to Cats
Shedding is a cat's natural process of losing dead hair. Outdoor cats may lose more hair in the spring and fall and retain more fur in the winter, while indoor cats can shed all year round. Regularly grooming your cat and vacuuming hair from your house should minimize the inconvenience of shedding. However, if you see bald patches in your cat's fur or notice a significant loss of hair, the underlying cause may be a health-related problem and should be investigated by a veterinarian.
Read the Shedding in Cats article > >
There are two kinds of hypersensitivity reactions. The immediate type occurs shortly after exposure and produces hives and itching. Hives in the cat are characterized by sudden swelling on the head, usually around the eyes and mouth, and occasionally the appearance of welts elsewhere on the body. The delayed reaction produces itching that occurs hours or days afterward. Flea bite dermatitis is an example of both types. This explains why a cat may continue to itch even after fleas have been removed from the cat and the environment.
Food Allergy
Cats may become allergic to certain foods or substances in foods. The most common food allergens are chicken, fish, corn, wheat, and soy; cats may also develop a food allergy to beef, pork, dairy products, or eggs. An intensely itchy rash often develops on the head, neck, and back, and may be accompanied by swollen eyelids. You may see hair loss and oozing sores from constant scratching. Sometimes, only the ears will be involved. In those cases, the ears will be very red and inflamed and may have a moist discharge. Less frequently, food allergy produces diarrhea or vomiting.
Treatment: Diagnosis is made by feeding the cat a diet without the suspected food for at least four to six weeks. The next step is exposing the cat to a suspected allergen and then watching to see if a reaction follows. There are numerous hypoallergenic diets available.
Atopic Dermatitis (Inhalant Allergy)
This is an allergic skin reaction caused by breathing pollens, house dust, molds, and other allergens indoors or outdoors. It may or may not occur seasonally. Signs and symptoms vary. They include itching on the head and neck, a rash along the neck and back similar to that described for feline miliary dermatitis, skin eruptions similar to those described in eosinophilic granuloma complex, and symmetrical hair loss over the body caused by excessive licking and grooming.

Youth and adults will learn the game of tennis thanks to programs returning to Wrightsville Beach Park.
Lessons are scheduled to begin Jan. 15, and will take place on Mondays and Wednesdays. Adult lessons will be from 10-11:30 a.m. for sessions one through three. Lessons in sessions four and five will meet from 5-6:30 p.m.
Jackie Jenkins, a Lawn Tennis Association registered coach, will teach the lessons.
�I came from England, and I�ve been at Wrightsville Beach about 24 years,� Jenkins said. �I am a fixture down there; they call me the net post.�
Jenkins will hold six adult classes per session for five total sessions through April 2. Registration for Wrightsville Beach residents is $55 and $70 for non-residents. She said class sizes are usually four or more. Jenkins will teach tots aged 6-8 in four separate sessions from 3-4 p.m., and youth aged 9-12 from 4-5 p.m.
The second of the programs is called Tennis Up and is for third, fourth and fifth graders in five elementary schools, including Wrightsville Beach School, by the Greater Wilmington Tennis Association.
Rosanne Boswell, GWTA Community Coordinator, said the program started in the fall of 2012 and has undergone some changes in an effort to streamline the program and improve students� experiences.
�This year we have a very impressive packet for each school which includes a colorful coordinator�s handbook with the drills and activities shown in easy-to-understand pictures with written descriptions,� Boswell said. �We also have colorful play books for the participants showing each of the skills they have learned. Each week the players get to check off the skills they�ve learned and at the end when they have learned all the skills, the leader will sign their book and give them a very cool bag tag.�
Enrollment is free and is limited to 25 participants. While GWTA provides most or all of the equipment, Boswell said that as with any free program, volunteers are a vital part of making it work.
For more information about Jackie Jenkins lessons, call the Wrightsville Beach Parks and Recreation Department at 910-256-7925. To learn more about or to volunteer for Tennis Up, contact Rosanne Boswell at email@example.com

The Hydraulic Institute (HI), the pumps and pumping systems industry trade group, has opened up its membership qualifications to pump and supplier companies that manufacture wholly outside North America but sell into the North American market. HI says the move significantly expands membership opportunities globally.
"Expanding HI's membership footprint beyond North America is a natural response to the global marketplace," said Robert Asdal, the group's executive director. "This move also aligns with HI's vision to be a global authority on pumps and pumping systems."
International members will be encouraged to participate in HI activities, including developing pump standards, guidebooks and educational materials; networking with North America industry counterparts; and participating in HI's global statistics program and economic forecasts.
In coordination with the new membership opportunity, HI announced the first international members: Shinmaywa, from Japan, and two UK companies, Hayward Tyler plus Gilbert, Gilkes, and Gordon.
To deliver membership information and eligibility as well as more about the industry group, HI has developed an app for tablet devices. The app can be downloaded at Google Play Store and Apple iTunes by searching "Hydraulic Institute" or by visiting www.pumps.org/mobileapp.
HI is inviting prospective pump and supplier companies to attend its 2013 annual meeting in Fort Myers, Fla., Feb. 7-12. More on the meeting can be seen at www.pumps.org/13Annual.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder is officially listed as probable on the team's injury report for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Ponder is dealing with a knee injury, but practiced in full all week long. He will be ready to play on Sunday.
Ponder has thrown for over 1,400 yards so far this season to go with eight touchdowns. He also has 90 yards rushing and a touchdown on the ground this season.
Fantasy Impact: Ponder is a sneaky fantasy option this week, with a lot of quarterbacks on bye. He has made strides in his second season in the league and should hold up well against Arizona's defense.
Ponder's upside is certainly limited, though, as the Vikings are still centered around Adrian Peterson on offense.
For more fantasy info, check out the SB Nation Fantasy War Room 4-8:30 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. Check out SB Nation's own Fantasy Football game, Pick 6!

UNIVERSAL CITY (CNS) – About 10 people had to be taken off Universal Studios' Transformers: The Ride today when one of the cars became stuck, but nobody was injured.
Firefighters were sent to the attraction in the 3900 block of Lankershim Boulevard at 9:10 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
According to a statement from the theme park, the ride "encountered a technical difficulty" and "a small number of guests" were helped off the attraction.
The ride was undergoing a routine inspection but was expected to reopen later today, according to Universal Studios.
The ride, which includes a track, motion-control technology and big video screens, opened to rave reviews in 2012, with Universal crediting it with an uptick in attendance at its Hollywood amusement park that year.

Home ice has held strong in this first-round series between the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild. The home team has won every game in the series thus far, and hey, you know what that means: Game 7.
The Wild lost two tough games at Pepsi Center earlier in the series. One featured a blown lead in the final minute of regulation and an eventual overtime loss and another featured a blown 2-0 lead. But most neutral observers will note that Minnesota has controlled play for much of the series, while the Avalanche have leaned heavily on their top line and goaltender Seymon Varlamov.
Colorado's leading scorer in the regular season, Matt Duchene, returned to the lineup in Game 6 following a knee injury, and he'll likely play a big role for the Avalanche in their first elimination game under new head coach Patrick Roy. On the other side, Wild coach Mike Yeo will lean heavily on his top guns, namely Zach Parise, who had four points in Minnesota's Game 6 win.
Do or Die
In Zach we trust
•Hockey WildernessThink about this, the last game that Patrick Roy ever played in the NHL was on April 22, 2003, against the Minnesota Wild when the Avalanche lost 3-2 in over time. Nothing would please me more than to watch the Wild repeat history.

It really is amazing that the new @Beyonce album came out with no hype. Just like Anchorman 2!—
Rob Lowe (@RobLowe) December 16, 2013
Good one! The makers of "Anchorman 2″ have made sure that Will Farrell's character, Ron Burgundy, has been seen everywhere possible, to the extent that Farrell co-anchored a real newscast at a North Dakota station to promote the film.
Lowe is not alone in feeling the media saturation. CBS News' Mark Knoller is suffering promotional fatigue as well.
I've seen so many promos, appearances and interviews by Will Ferrell over past weeks, I feel like I don't need to see the Anchorman movie.—

which trad routes below 5.10 would you consider a must-do for a first time visitor to this area? We will be there for 3 days with a total newbie along. We are looking for something not really hard or sandbag, just mellow routes where we can have some fun with a new climber tagging along. Thank you.
the Coffin crack! mellow at 5.9
www.mountainproject.com/v/sasquatch/105739898 , although only listed as a single pitch it can be combined easily with the classic Pentapitch route. have fun!
Becky's wall, Satin's corner, bushwhack crack, cranial prophylactic, green a, wheels of fire, Gordon's hangover.
The Green Adjective (P1) to MA-1 Touch up Pentapitch/Sasquatch Hatchet crack to Movie variation of schoolroom Crack in the woods to Hand Jive Coffin crack (aka the coffin) Mexican crack Lazerus Satans corner Perhaps All in LCC. Nothing listed is harder than 9+/10- and most are in the 5.7-5.8 range. All are fun.
Although you asked about LCC, I want to suggest that Big Cottonwood Canyon also has some stellar moderates that you should check out.
Park at the Gate Buttress to access the Beckey's, Schoolroom, and Green A/Kermit's areas. There's enough there to keep you busy for two or three days if desired. No one mentioned half-a-finger, superb though short 9+ fingers. You've got several good suggestions above. Schoolroom, Schoolroom West and the Hook are mellow. Tingey's Terror/Torture is also reasonably mellow though not as consistently classic. The two pitches of the Coffin are excellent, though you could easily link them if desired. Pentapitch/Sasquatch/Japanese Terraces, etc is another good day.

Ruben Guerrero: Mayweather Getting Beat Up in Sparring
Posted by: Rick Reeno on 4/18/2013 .
>>>Click Here For Tons of More Breaking Boxing News, Articles and Insider Information<<<
By Rick Reeno
Ruben Guerrero, the outspoken father/trainer of Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero (31-1-1, 18KOs), tells BoxingScene.com that he heard rumblings that Floyd Mayweather Jr. (43-0, 26Kos) is getting worked over by his sparring partners. Guerrero challenges Mayweather on May 4th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Showtime Pay-Per-View will televise.
Both Mayweather and Guerrero are holding their training camps in Las Vegas. Ruben believes his information is valid, because on Wednesday at a media workout at the Mayweather Boxing Club - it was pretty clear that Mayweather was sporting a bruise under his right eye.
"I seen that black eye on him. If he thinks he's getting beat up in sparring wait until May 4. He's gonna get a real beatdown [that day]. He better be ready that's all I'm saying because Robert wants this. He's ready and he's a warrior with Mexican blood. We fight till the death. Robert wants to put a beating on this guy and its gonna take every Mayweather in that ring to beat my son. And if the father wants a old school beating I have one for him too. Viva Mexico! Viva California! Viva Texas! We want this! Let's go," Ruben said.
Ruben says he is not intimidated by going against the training duo of Floyd Mayweather Sr. and his brother Roger Mayweather.
"If you got two trainers you got nothing. Floyd Sr. is a puppet, all he does is talk. Roger is the real trainer who does mitts and everything. The other guy is a cheerleader man. What type of head trainer doesn't do mitts with his fighter? Lil Floyd Jr. just feels bad cause he treated his father like sh*t on TV. If I were Roger I wouldn't allow these fools to do that. He trained Floyd Jr. his whole career and the other guy is here for the paycheck," Ruben said.

I'm still laughing at how this would be if Guerrero got a black eye in sparring. Again, people would be 150% sure that Floyd would beat him easily, but the minute Floyd gets a black eye/mouse/etc, people go to defending him.
Again, in my recent post, things like this happen all the time, regardless of the fighter, player, whoever. It could mean something, and it could very well mean nothing at all. Again, Floyd allowed his sparring to be taped before the Cotto fight, because he was sparring people that he knew and had sparred before.
Things are much different when the camera's rolling, and you dont know much about who's in front of you.
Lol true shit. I'm not gonna lie I probably would think Mayweather would stretch his ass if he was gettin worked in sparring. I'm just saying fuck all the outside the ring shit, I'm ready to see what happens in the ring.

II Tracciato di Marta also betrays a strong ambient music influence but surprisingly undercuts the idiom's inherent blandness somewhat by employing unusual chord progressions, some of which are far-flung enough to invoke echoes of Richard Strauss. The music of Keith Jarrett and Philip Glass clearly leave their mark on the bubbly, kinetic album closer Sento il Canto in Curva.
Performances are good. Sollima's cello playing, while sometimes betraying a rather thin tone in soft passages, is generally effective; his finger technique is fluidly capable and his sense of long line (imperative in music of this type) is keenly developed. Sound quality is okay and production is good.
Listeners who enjoy Gorecki's Third Symphony and pop-influenced classical music will likely discover some things to enjoy here, while those keen on new-age music will find this release to be a step up from their usual fare.

Dan's Blog: Cue the music, summer is here!
TULSA - (Someone cue the ice cream truck music) Ding Da Ding Da Da Da Ding Da....
It's summertime! If you close your eyes and concentrate you may be able to imagine hot dogs sizzling on the grill, kids splashing in over chlorinated pools, the sound of jet skis, lawn mowers, Harleys cruising down the road, the crack of the bat at a little league game and your neighbor mowing in his Bermuda shorts, sandals and tall black socks.
Unlike Tulsa traffic, the earth is in constant motion. Our changing orientation to the sun gives us our seasons. At exactly 6:09 p.m. Wednesday we had the official beginning of summer. That makes Thursday our first full day of summer.
We know of the exact timing of summer from meteorologist's scientific cousins -- the astronomers. They calculate the precise moment the sun is at its highest point the sky.
Between now and Dec. 22 (the winter solstice) the days will get shorter.
When I speak to school kids I often ask them, "When is the sun closer to earth? Is it closer in the summer or in the winter?" Some think we must be closer in the summer because it is hotter, but in fact, the exact opposite is true!
The distance between the earth and the sun around the start of July is about 94.4 million miles, but by the first week of January it is about 91.3 million miles away.
There's a trivia question for your next carpool trip. When is the sun closer in winter or summer? The answer is winter. Bet them a snow cone, then stop and collect on your next commute home.
The reality is it has nothing to do with the distance but everything to do with our angle or orientation toward the sun. This change brings us our changing seasons. Things would get pretty boring without seasons and it might even keep me out of a job!
None of us (except maybe air conditioner repairmen) are hoping for a repeat of last summer.
To remind you, we had 44 days in Tulsa where the temperature reached or exceeded 100 degrees. The heat and drought lead the local newscasts more than even the recent coverage of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Our hottest here was 113 degrees.
Last summer went down as the hottest ever since weather records began in 1895.
So yes, it will be hot this summer, but no signs of it being nearly has hot as the last summer's record breaking heat.
So here's to summer cookouts, trips to the lakes, barefoot kids, drive-in movies, juicy home grown tomatoes, trot lines, reading those summer novels, iced sweet tea, picnics and the Ding Da Ding Da Da of the ice cream man. Summer is here!

A group of local dancers is getting a chance to perform on a big stage in Miami.
Dancers from Stage Left Dance Studio in Middletown were one of 10 groups selected to perform at the BCS Championship Game halftime show.
The dance team ranges in age from 12 to 17 years old, and they are all pumped up for the big trip to South Beach.
"I am super dooper excited because I have never performed in front of a crowd this big," said dancer Amanda Blach. "We get to work with all these famous choreographers, and it is going to be a lot of fun."
The girls will also attend a dance convention while in Miami.
At least 75,000 people are expected to pack the stadium, and millions will be watching on television.
ESPN will be carrying that game on Jan. 7 when Alabama takes on Notre Dame.

CATEGORIES Action, Drama, Thrillers, Trailer Trash, Movie Marketing, Trailers and Clips, Movies, CinematicalTake equal parts Jason Bourne of The Bourne Identify and John Rambo of First Blood, mix them together with a premise that sounds vaguely like several other films of this genre and what do you get? The new thriller Shooter, starring Mark Wahlberg and directed by Antoine Fuqua.
As our own Martha Fischer reported way back in February, the film, based on the novel Point of Impact by Steven Hunter and adapted by the author, tells the story of a retired elite sniper who's forced back into business for one last job to protect the President of the United States from assassination. Unfortunately, as often happens in these movies, Wahlberg's character is double-crossed and then must fight to clear his name and survive long enough to expose the real plot.
So, now that I've got you all fired up to see this movie, I can tell you that Yahoo! now has the exclusive trailer for the film posted at their site. So, head on over and take a look. I did, and I like what I see so far -- but I'm a sucker for this type of thing. Plus, any movie where the main character is described as "a thinking man's Rambo" is ok by me. Enjoy.

I recently reviewed a great article from the Holman Group that thoroughly explained the difference between "free EAPS" and individual providers. I thought I'd share some of the most important components of it as DOR and PCS continue to work out the details of a potential partnership to offer the best in class EAP service and commitment to quality.
These days, many health insurance companies, disability carriers and medical carriers are branching out into the behavioral health care field, offering "free" employee assistance programs (EAP) as part of their core plans. This seems like a great deal to the average consumer. The rationale goes, "If you are already going to offer the medical or disability plan, why not throw in the 'free' EAP?"
The problem is that behavioral healthcare is not the main focus of a disability carrier or medical carrier. As a result, the kind of help available to employers is much more limited than what a specialized and licensed EAP carrier provides.
Some of the most important components of a specialized EAP include:
Face-To-Face Assessment, Referral, and Brief Therapy Sessions
Many free EAPs only offer telephonic rather than face-to-face sessions with a licensed clinician. In most cases, counseling that is conducted over the telephone, rather in the privacy of a clinician's office, is marginally effective. The Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) says that an EAP should establish "procedures to determine when to provide short term problem resolution services." Most often with phone assessment and referral services, the employee does not have the option of short-term problem resolution. The employee can only speak with a clinician over the phone for a brief time, never really being able to explore the issue fully, let alone connect and establish therapeutic rapport.
Some carriers say that they will provide face-to-face sessions if needed, which means that it is up to the carrier to determine whether an employee will receive the face-to-face sessions. EAP cost savings are based on designs that employ face-to-face sessions. The "free" EAP plans are simply paper programs that can cause more harm than good by not giving the employee the opportunity to discuss a problem in the security of a clinician's office.
Statistical Reporting
When a company chooses to offer its employees a "free" EAP, they may not be invested in who utilizes the plan since they are not paying for the EAP. However, one important quality of the EAP is the ability to detect any patterns within the employee population regarding drug and alcohol use, personal problems, legal or financial problems and issues with childcare and elder care and identify any necessary assistance. By receiving and reviewing these reports, companies can get a heads up" on the types of issues their employees face and can be in a position to take action, which is one of the most important qualities of a successful business in today's world.
Because many of the "free" EAPs do not give employers utilization reports, company executives are unable to understand their employee's needs.
Crisis Intervention
It is essential for EAPs to offer responsive crisis intervention services to employees, eligible family members, and the organization. When a crisis occurs on the job or at home, employees and their family members often need help coping with the traumatic event. It is the EAP's job to offer counseling to those affected. Specialized EAP carriers have access to a network of crisis intervention specialists and therapists. They have the ability and understanding to effectively and quickly provide counseling in times of need.
With most disability carriers and payroll management organizations, crisis intervention services are not available leaving employees to struggle with traumatic events on their own. When employees find that the EAP isn't available or doesn't cover emergencies, there may be a liability for the employer. In most cases, employers with "free" EAPs find themselves without access to on-site intervention when it is needed most. In these cases, the employer must call around town to locate a specialized behavioral health care company that will offer crisis intervention on a fee-for-service basis.
On-Site Presence
Because the EAP is not the disability and medical carrier's main focus, they may put little time or attention into it. Most often, on-site meetings with human resources representatives, supervisors, and employees are not included as part of the "free" plan. Therefore, unless a corporation has more than 5,000 employees, there is little to no contact between the EAP vendor and the company's contacts. Specialty behavioral health care vendors appreciate that the understanding and communication of the EAP is imperative to its success. The EAPA identifies supervisor involvement and consultation as a top priority and essential component of an EAP. In short, an EAP should provide training for organization leadership to communicate EAP purpose and procedures and to explain the EAP role.
Management Referrals
An EAP can be an indispensable tool to those supervisors who appreciate its value. When supervisors observe poor work performance, they should be able to refer the employee to the EAP. The EAP presents a positive avenue for the supervisors to restore employee performance by providing effective tools for resolving problems in the most appropriate manner. During this time, the EAP maintains contact with the referring supervisor, reporting specific information on the employee's prognosis, attendance, and compliance with the treatment plan.
The ability to refer employees to the EAP can also serve a safety net for companies. For example, a supervisor can refer an employee who is performing poorly on the job to the EAP. If that employee continues to fail to meet expectations and is terminated, the employer has the knowledge and documentation that every effort was made to retain that employee, including the referral to the EAP.
Most often, management referrals are not included in the "free" EAP. Supervisors cannot refer troubled employees to the EAP. They are only able to informally suggest to the employee that the EAP is available. Then it is up to the employee to seek help, if he or she is willing. More than likely, that employee will not seek help and will continue to be less productive. In most situations, even if the informally referred employee goes to the EAP, the supervisor never gets any feedback.
One of the goals of an EAP is to help manage health insurance costs by helping members solve their problems early, thus avoiding utilization of their medical insurance benefits. However, with a "free" EAP through the disability and medical carrier, the employee is referred to a therapist within the carrier's network. Since these types of EAP's are often for assessment and referral only, the employee is seen by the medical carrier's therapist and is referred to the medical plan where there is a co-payment without ever having utilized all of the free EAP visits. This results in an increased medical loss ratio and often in an increase in medical premium. This is where the "free" EAP is funded. As a result, utilization of the "free" EAP does not result in any type of cost savings; in fact it may even increase costs.
It is important for EAPs to continually monitor and improve clinical practices and service quality. Most often, this is done through confidential patient satisfaction surveys. Surveys are sent to employees or dependents that recently used EAP services. The surveys help the EAP vendor determine to what extent the employees were able to resolve their problems and how satisfied they were with the services they received.
Since most "free" EAP vendors do not perform follow-up surveys, they have no way of knowing the perceived quality of the services that have been provided. Also, they have no way of monitoring trends among providers and the clinical staff. This allows these vendors to maintain status quo without ever needing to improve clinical practices.
How can "free" EAP be at all tempting for companies that want to offer a truly worthwhile benefit? The only truly worthwhile EAP is one that a specialty vendor provides. Implementing an EAP should never be an afterthought or be considered a bonus to another plan. Stand-alone EAP and managed behavioral health care carriers have the experience and knowledge to assist employees and their family members in the most clinically appropriate manner. Their sole focus is dedicated to improving employee and employer relationships and well-being. The price of a specialized EAP is minimal compared to the rewards that companies will reap.
As the popular saying goes, "There is no such thing as a free lunch." In the insurance industry, there is no such thing as a "free" EAP. Employers are paying for the EAP premium as part of their disability, health, life, or other plan premiums. Offering employees "value added benefits" implies that the benefits that are being added have value. But, by adding a "free" EAP you are adding a benefit that has little or no value. In other words, you get what you pay for.

WHAT on earth is this council playing at? Cruise ships galore all at Southampton at the same time means in excess of 40,000 persons moving around the city and docks in addition to the normal shopping public.
Surely our planners are more capable of agreeing with the mighty docks board on a better programme of works so that the city and docks are not so congested that it comes to a standstill?

Avoid unneeded coverage. Many policies can be tailored to fit individual needs. For example, if Quotes Chimp own an older car, you may not want to insure it against property damage because the amount you can collect probably isn't worth the premium. (The insurance company has the option to pay you the value of your car rather than repair it, and an old car may be "worth" only a few hundred dollars.) Likewise, many homeowner's policies allow for an econ�omy version of protection that does not include theft losses. If you have few possessions of significant value, you may want to look into this source of significant savings.

Day 4 of Obligatory Ice Level Day! This is a goofy, fake holiday meant to build hype for The Speed Gamers' Zelda marathon, which starts December 12th! We're raising money for Mercy Corps, so I hope you all help us out by promoting and donating! The Final Fantasy marathon was so great. We raised a bunch of money, wore a bunch of zippers, and learned a bunch of lessons about the power of friendship. That's why today's ice level is Goland Coal City, from Final Fantasy Tactics!

The Silence is Broken; Les Talk Final Fantasy BABY!
It's been a long time between updates and I wanted to get you all up to speed on what I've been doing…err.. or not doing. We have a preliminary schedule being worked on in our Final Fantasy section of the forums and we have a full list of players.
There are a few first time participants and runners from the SDA and SRL communities. I'm really excited about this and thankful for them contributing their time toward our cause. Right now Poxnor is scheduled to be kicking off the event by playing Final Fantasy 8. He will also be playing the FF Legends trilogy. He's going to be in town for the event and we will make sure to get him a pair of cowboy boots and his own horse that he can ride back to Canada..also…CHEESECAKE FACTORY AND YUMMYLICIOUS (local frozen yogurt joint). Another first time runner for TSG also hailing from the great white North and obliterator of everything Final Fantasy will be the speed running artist Crystal Beauty playing Final fantasy 10. Returning for her 3rd marathon, playing Final Fantasy VI , as I like to call her the Queen of Final Fantasy, Kari "Essentia" Johnson.
We also have a lot of first time players from our own community. Mayday will make her playing debut with Final Fantasy 10-2. Mayday has been participating in our marathons for awhile now by commentating , being a part of our marketing team and also helping with a million other behind the scene event coordination efforts. Fellow Texan Giraffesaredope will be moseying down to the Rocking H Ranch for the first time and playing Final Fantasy XII. Giraffes has been streaming for TSG presents for the past couple of years and is known on the forums as Ninja Monkey. Cosmoid is playing Final Fantasy III and is another fellow TSG Presents streamer, former writer for the blog and a frequent video guest during our marathons. Last but not least, because we just can't get enough of our Canadian brethren, Wazuki will be making his debut playing the fan favorite Final Fantasy VII. Wazuki joined the community after watching our first Final Fantasy marathon back in 2009. It should be noted, as I think he would want me to point out that Wazuki is a fellow WoW TSG guild member and was SERVER FIRST ARCHEOLOGY for MOP. <<Rofl, that's actually an inside joke and I'm sure he's going to kill me when he sees me at the marathon. P.S. If you want to join the guild, we play on the server Nesingwary, horde. Guild name "Schindler's Pokedex".
There's still a lot of shifting in times when it comes to the schedule so I'm going to hold off on posting that until June. Here's a full player list below.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Review
30 hour-long tutorial, linear gameplay – it's safe to say Final Fantasy XIII isn't going to be fondly remembered by most. Square Enix took the criticism it was force-fed and hid until they produced a sequel. Did they listen to the harsh criticisms, or will they stand stubborn in the face of adversity? Let's find out.. Continue reading
Why I Like: Final Fantasy XIII
One of the most hated Final Fantasy games in quite a long time also happens to be my favorite one. Recently I was thinking about Final Fantasy games and which one I would say that I liked the most, and I kept coming back to Final Fantasy XIII for some reason. Keep in mind I have only ever played the original, II and VII through XIII, but still, in my experience, Final Fantasy XIII is my favorite. I wanted to take this chance to really dig into the aspects that make me enjoy the game so much.
Role-Playing Games to Action Adventure Games
Everyday there are debates about what games are truly RPGs (role-playing games). Lots of people consider The Legend of Zelda series an RPG, when the series is actually an action-adventure title; with the exception of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which is an action RPG. There are some people who believe that an RPG is defined as playing the role of a character in the game. The issue with that statement revolves around the knowledge of every game. Every video game results in the gamer picking up some sort of controller and playing the role of a character in their video game of choice. With this knowledge, every game would be defined as an RPG.
Check out this 12 minute Final Fantasy Type-0 trailer
Not much is known about the PSP title Final Fantasy Type-0, but maybe this trailer will answer a few questions.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Screenshots Abound
Square Enix has finally released a slew of screenshots from the poorly named Theatrhythm Final Fantasy. If you missed the initial announcement Square Enix is releasing a rhythm based Final Fantasy game that will include remixes of fan favorite songs from the series and several styles of play such as Field and Battle.
The screenshot's point to the game being closer to the rhythm adventure games of the PS2 and PS1 era, Mad Maestro, Gitaroo Man, and Parappa the Rapper, rather than the modern iterations of the genre such as Guitar Hero and Rockband. You can judge for yourself in the gallery after the jump.

Zeigler-Royalton/Christopher raced past Webber's girls basketball team for a 77-41 win Thursday night.
ZRC used its pressure defense to force Webber into 28 turnovers in the game. The early extra possessions helped the Lady Tornadoes take a double-digit edge into the second quarter and build a 38-20 halftime lead.
"We came out so dead, so flat-footed on defense," Webber coach Travis Pinkston said. "It wouldn't matter what they ran. They would have scored on us."
Despite the slow start, Webber's offense matched ZRC basket for basket in the second quarter. Sarah Ganieany and Courtney Girvan both were able to score consistently around the basket for the Lady Trojans. Ganieany finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds to lead Webber.
"Coming in, you have to look at her if you're playing us," Pinkston said. "She's a dominant force."
Girvan added 10 points and five rebounds.
Webber whittled the deficit down to a dozen points at 24-12 after Erica Marlow scored with six minutes left in the first half. But the Lady Trojans could never get the ZRC lead back to single digits.
The Lady Tornadoes pushed their lead past 20 points after halftime and extended it to 30 points late in the third quarter.
"We ran up and down, and that's not our game," Pinkston said. "It wears us out. We played way too much into their hands tonight, and that caused us to have a lot more problems than what we should have."
ZRC's Autum Gunter led all scorers with 29 points. Brandy Mifflin finished with 20.
Webber is 6-10 this season.

Just after 1 a.m. Sparks Firefighters received reports of an electrical fire at 200 Nichols Boulevard. When a crew arrived on scene, there was no visible smoke or fire, but say it smelled like an electrical fire. After checking several apartments in the area, they found one with signs of smoke staining on a window. When firefighters knocked on the door, there was no response, so they forced their way in.
Inside the apartment, firefighters found a room full of smoke, but no active fires. The bed and a trash can appeared to have been lit on fire at some point, and were smoldering. After a search of the apartment, firefighters found a non-responsive resident in the bathroom. The resident was transported to Northern Nevada Medical Center before being pronounced dead at the hospital.
Fire officials say the fire is still under investigation.
