How cute is this Luminess Heiress Beauty System? Adorable...I know. But is it more than just looks? Keep reading to find out!
Luminess says:
Our brand new 2012 Luminess Heiress Beauty System has arrived! This system features a continuous airflow which allows you to use less makeup, is half the size and is 70% quieter! Now you'll be able to achieve a finer airbrush application resulting in the most amazing coverage imaginable!
Starter Kit includes: 2 .55 oz foundations, a blush, bronzer, and glow.
Priced at $249.
Packaging: The Heiress System comes very well packed in its vibrant packaging. I love how the box gives a little tease of the system that's inside
Compressor and parts: Bright pink, metallic silver, totally streamlined and compact, and just the cutest airbrush machine I've ever seen. Ever. I seriously squealed when I took it out of the box. Plus, its size makes it perfect for travel.
I LOVE how the spray gun sits nicely on top of the unit when it's not in use. It diminishes the risk of spilling any product that's still inside the cup.
Power cord...an obvious necessity:
Kit also includes an empty bottle for a water/alcohol mix for cleaning, an instructional DVD, and handbook (the box is makeup shown above)
Compressor/System Review:
I'm really, really liking the Heiress Beauty System. Not only is it the cutest airbrush machine in the world, it also performs incredibly. It sprays evenly, isn't too loud, and just does a nice job overall. It's a 1-speed compressor so after one push of the on/off button a strong flow of air comes out of the gun, and a little pull back on the trigger allows for makeup to flow through evenly. Many other units out there have a varying speeds, and I do believe that Luminess carries some compressors that vary as well. The 1-speed feature of this one though is perfect for personal use and so easy to use. I actually used the compressor unit on the last 2 freelance jobs I did and that's when I really fell in love with it. It just did a superb job and the girls I worked on looked amazing.
Makeup: airbrush M1 Moist-Primer, Shade 3 and 4 (Medium), Bronzer, Soft Rose Blush, G1 Brightening & Glow Luminizer (omg...LOVE)
In action...I'm wearing Shade 4 with just a touch of Shade 3, bronzer, blush, and the luminizer.
You can see how the coverage is natural but really nice.
Makeup Reviews:
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by most the Luminess foundations and other face products that were included in the kit.
The Moist-Primer was lightweight and was interesting to apply. With silicone-based primers the application is obviously different, and the feel of it is silky and soft, but for me, they're a bit heavy. I normally don't even wear a primer. With the Moist-Primer, it goes on completely unnoticeable and not heavy at all. If you're a primer lover but have a dislike for the silicone-based ones, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised by this one. I personally will be skipping this step in the future simply because it's basically a moisturizing primer and with my oily skin, I think it caused me to get shiny sooner than normal.
The foundation is waterbased and has a satin finish, though I do believe that Luminess also offers a matte foundation. I used the Medium Shade 3 for the most part but added in just a touch of Shade 4 to truly customize the color to perfection. The finish is slightly dewy which is nice, however I did notice a bit more shine as the hours drew on. Like I said though, I'll likely skip the moisturizer next time and go straight for the foundation. As with most airbrush foundations, this one is sticky to the touch after application, so while a setting powder isn't necessary, I do prefer to use one (MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural). The coverage is buildable from sheer to full. For the look pictured above I went for medium coverage. What I loved was that it evened out my skintone while leaving my freckles just slightly visible, and it also didn't make my pores overly noticeable like a lot of waterbased foundations do. I was really impressed with the foundation and for some reason I didn't expect to be (I'm just super picky with foundations).
The bronzer is nice as well. I loved the color of it. I do, however, tend to go for matte bronzers; it's just a personal preference. For a body bronzer, this would be gorgeous though. A touch of it along the collar bones and down your chest would be beautiful.
Soft Rose blush is just…lovely. *sigh* It's this beautiful rosy glow. The bronzer and this blush together...OMG...a gorgeous combination! As for the G1 Brightening & Glow luminizer…again…love. It just glows. Obviously…but it does it so well.
Overall Thoughts:
I'm overall pleased but I don't see myself using it daily. It's a bit too time consuming for everyday in my opinion. I will use it...just not daily (tutorial perhaps?). However, I definitely see myself using this tons in the future for my freelance work since it's done such a fabulous job so far.
Do you airbrush? What are your thoughts on this system?

The Giants don't have one certified veteran superstar, although Buster Posey is climbing toward that status.
There are 100 factors behind the reasons the Giants will not repeat as World Series champions, or even make the 2013 playoffs, and nearly all of them can be traced back to the fundamental truth of being moderately talented — despite two championships in three seasons submitting a strong counter argument.
The counter to that counter is the Giants have overachieved by parlaying a solid roster, fine pitching, a masterful manager and select clutch moments into one of the unlikeliest micro-dynasties in sport.
All the while, though, San Francisco has operated with a very thin margin for error, often winning by method of "torture."
The Giants are far outside that margin now, most notably the starting rotation with an earned run average perilously close to 5. Matt Cain, now holding the richest contract ever given to a right-hander, is having his worst season. Barry Zito, after a nice postseason, has regressed to the ghastly numbers of 2008. Tim Lincecum may have two Cy Young awards in his trophy case, but his starts are like 4 a.m. burritos. Swallow and hope.
Meanwhile, the bullpen has devolved mostly into a procession of arms in the big leagues because, well, they're on the payroll and available.
If the Giants can't pitch themselves to victory, and only left-hander Madison Bumgarner has been cooperating, victory will remain elusive.
Then, too, there is the rise of the Dodgers. The gifted pieces in Los Angeles are forming an impressive whole, the best team in baseball over the past month. Results are catching up to the talent — which, man-to-man, dwarfs the rest of the NL West.
The Giants don't have enough talent to offset mistakes, injuries and subpar seasons. They have been capable, but capable is not to be confused with great. And consistent greatness is necessary to contend consistently.

You know, like we used to have before we got real jobs. You supply the movies and i'll supply the goodies." And with that, he was out the door. It didn't bother me that he hadn't said when or where, that was a given. I had the extensive movie collection and the large screen TV.

Silsden church puts petals to the pedal for Tour displays
Updated 11:49am Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
Petal power will inspire the Tour de France cyclists as they race through Silsden next summer.
Village churchgoers are making dozens of living tributes to the riders as part of a flower festival with a difference.
The members of Silsden Methodist Church will use wooden cut-outs of a cyclist as bases to craft imaginative floral displays.
The cut-outs are being given to individuals, families and groups from the church as well as other groups which meet at the premises.
William Jowitt has made the cut-outs using equipment at Keighley Fab Lab, where he is a volunteer.
Mr Jowitt said he had produced about 20 bases – each showing a bike and cyclist – in several sizes.
He said: "They will be displayed around the church like a flower festival. There will be a Christian theme to the displays.
"The display will probably be set up two weeks before the race.
"The church is already open four days a week for coffee and we're looking to extend the opening times."

Butterflies and Oktoberfest don't typically go hand-in-hand, but they'll be paired up Oct. 5th at the Joseph L. Popp, Jr. Butterfly Conservatory in Oneonta.
The Otsego County Conservation Association and the Popp Conservatory will co-host OCCA Oktoberfest from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Popp Butterfly Conservatory is home to more than 150 animals. In addition to butterflies, the Conservatory houses exotic birds, frogs, lizards and insects. The animals roam free in the conservatory's 3,000-square-foot exhibit.
"It's an amazing place," said Jeff O'Handley, OCCA's interim program director, in a media release. "Having butterflies and birds flying around you is a magical experience."
Admission fees provide entry to the conservatory and the event, and will benefit both organizations.
"Oktoberfest activities are taking place in the butterfly field alongside the conservatory. It's a beautiful location. We're looking forward to an exciting day," he said.
Oktoberfest features exhibits dedicated to OCCA's programs and activities that help protect Otsego County's natural resources.
Several organizations that OCCA partners with—such as the SUNY-Oneonta Biological Field Station, Otsego Regional Cycling Advocates, and Oneonta Susquehanna Greenway will attend. In addition, several vendors will be on hand, selling locally-made products.
Vendors include Blue Willow Atelier and Enviro Energy, LLC. Brewery Ommegang will be on site conducting a beer tasting. Hot Rod's BBQ of Otego will be selling German-themed foods. For kids, Oneonta World of Learning will provide German-themed activities. Music will be provided by the award-winning Fritz's Polka Band. There's also a strudel contest.
"Bake a strudel, bring it down, and if our panel of judges approves, you could be Überstrudelmeister of the Oktoberfest," O'Handley in the release. "Contest rules are on our website. There's no additional fee to enter, but we would like contestants to preregister."

Villanova News
November 16, 2012 by NBE Blogger · Leave a Comment
BIG EAST teams extended the conference's winning streak to 19 games Thursday before a buzzer-beater by Massachusetts against Providence brought an end to the run. Nonetheless, BIG EAST teams were 3-2 Thursday as St. John's, Louisville and Villanova came away with wins.
The BIG EAST's .871 winning percentage ranks as the second-best in Division I. The Pac-12 has a .920 winning percentage through Thursday to lead the nation.
—The Red Storm scored a road win against College of Charleston in the opening round of the Charleston Classic, sending St. John's to a semifinal matchup against Murray State at 5:30 p.m. on ESPN3.
Guard D'Angelo Harrison led all scorers with 21 points in the win. Harrison has averaged 21.5 points in the first two games for St. John's.
The Red Storm will face either Baylor or Colorado Sunday to conclude the Charleston Classic.

Georgetown scored a 68-59 win against Liberty Wednesday night, lifting the cumulative record of BIG EAST teams to 24-2 in the 2012-13 season. BIG EAST members have won 17 consecutive games. The BIG EAST's .923 winning percentage is the best in Division I.
Forward Greg Whittington scored a career-high 18 points with nine rebounds to pace the Hoyas past Liberty as part of the Legends Classic. Georgetown heads to Brooklyn, N.Y., to face No. 13 UCLA Monday in the semfinal round of the Legends Classic at the Barclay's Center. The Hoyas will face either No. 1 Indiana or Georgia Tuesday.
"With all due respect to Liberty, we got some games coming up, and we're preparing for some teams that are a little bit better than them," said junior forward Nate Lubick, who had 13 points and eight rebounds. "We use these games to find ourselves, to find what this team's identity is going to be. … I don't think our sense of urgency's really been there."
Mikael Hopkins added 13 points for Georgetown (2-0).
Forward Otto Porter — a preseason All-BIG EAST selection — did not play Wednesday night because of "symptoms indicative of a mild concussion," head coach John Thompson III said in a statement.
The conference's gaudy record could be tested Thursday as five BIG EAST teams are in action, including three teams that will play on the ESPN family of networks in early-season tournaments.
—St. John's, which opened its season with a come-from behind win against Detroit Tuesday, faces a College of Charleston team that is a perennial contender in the Southern Conference. The game, which begins at 5 p.m. on ESPNU, is part of the Charleston Classic.
Freshman center Chris Obekpa had a school-record eight blocks to go with seven points and 11 rebounds in his collegiate debut Tuesday. D'Angelo Harrison had a team-high 22 points off the bench in the win.
St. John's had 12 blocks and held Detroit to 34.6-percent shooting.
The Red Storm will play either Auburn or Murray State Friday in Charleston.
—Providence brings its 2-0 record to Bayamon, Puerto Rico, where the Friars will face Massachusetts — one of the favorites in the Atlantic-10 race — in the opening round of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The tip is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
Forward Kadeem Batts scored a career-high 27 points as Providence cruised past neighboring Bryant Monday night.
Guard Vincent Council — a Preseason All-BIG EAST First Team choice — did not play against Bryant while recovering from a leg injury suffered in the season-opener and Council is out 4-5 Weeks With the Injury (CBS Sports). With heralded recruit Ricky Ledo ineligible to play this season and another star freshman Kris Dunn out until January after a preseason knee injury, the PC depth will be challenged. Bryce Cotton will be counted on heavily and he scored 24 points against Bryant. Cotton has played all 80 minutes thus far in the two games.
—Villanova also takes a 2-0 record into tournament play Thursday as the Wildcats meet Purdue in the 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden. The game is slated for a 9:30 p.m. tip on ESPN2, following the opening game between Alabama and Oregon State. Jay Wright's club will play one of those two on Friday.
Freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono scored 25 points to lead Villanova past Marshall, 80-68, on Saturday night. James Bell added 19 points against the Thundering Herd.
The Boilermakers lost their opening game to Bucknell, but were without the services of Terone JOhnson who is recovering from a knee injury suffered in the offseason. Johnson did play 17 minutes in Purdue's win over Hofstra and will be counted on to carry the scoring load this year as he rounds back into shape. At 9.2 points per game a season ago, Johnson is Matt Painter's leading returning scorer.
—Louisville will welcome Samford at 7 p.m. to the Yum! Center on the BIG EAST Network as part of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Russ Smith had a game-high 23 points to lead the Cardinals past Manhattan in the season-opener Friday. Guard Peyton Siva turned in his second career double-double with 10 points and 10 assists against the Jaspers, a 79-51 victory.
—For DePaul, Thursday's game against Gardner-Webb is the first of four games in the Cancun Challenge. The Blue Demons also will play Austin Peay at home Saturday before heading to Cancun.
Brandon Young scored a game-high 20 points in the season-opening win against UC Riverside last Friday night. The game, won by the Blue Demons 91-59, was played
on campus at McGrath Arena. Cleveland Melvin added 16 points, seven rebounds and five steals.

BIG EAST teams went 5-0 Tuesday, giving the league a combined 23-2 record in the 2012-13 season. The .920 winning percentage is the best of any Division I conference thus far.
—Pittsburgh's win Tuesaday night against 2012 NCAA Tournament participant Lehigh sends the Panthers to the championship round of the NIT Season Tip-Off at Madison Square Garden next week. The Panthers will face Michigan November 21st and will meet either Delaware or Kansas State November 23rd in New York.
Guard Tray Woodall became the third Pittsburgh player to lead the team in scoring in as many games with 23 points against Lehigh. Junior Talib Zanna added 20 points and freshman James Robinson was the defensive star as he limited Lehigh pre-season All-American guard C.J. McCollom to 17 points.
The Panthers face Oakland Saturday before heading to Madison Square Garden for the championship rounds of the NIT Season Tip-Off.

The curtain will rise on the 2012-2013 college basketball season today and for the BIG EAST conference it will also be the end of an era. With West Vitginia already leaving the conference for the Big 12 and Syracuse and Pittsburgh, who will be followed closely behind by Notre Dame, playing their last season before departing for the ACC, the BIG EAST as we have come to know and love will never be the same.
The conference will grow and survive with the additions next season of Memphis, Temple, Houston, Central Florida and SMU, but make no mistake about it, the dynamics of the tightnit conference have been changed forever.

Villanova Gets O'Leary'd
Jay Wright was looking to capitalize by adding an assistant to his staff with strong connections to the power base of prospects currently entrenched in Keith Stevens' Team Takeover grassroots powerhouse and the talent at Paul V HS in Virginia. It appeared as if Wright hit the daily double when he added Doug Martin to his staff last week. Martin has had a profile on the bench of each team for the last several years and is very close with players in the next 3-to-4 recruiting classes coming through both programs.
But shortly after adding Martin there was a discovery of some possible shenanigans on a resume he handed in, a resume claiming Martin played under the legendary UWGB coach Dick Bennett (who also had successful stints at Stevens Point, Wisconsin and Washington State to name a few). Turns out nobody at Green Bay has ever heard of Martin. It also turns out that Dick Bennett has never heard of, or coached, Doug Martin either. Villanova is looking into the situation — you think?!
This is a headache for Wright, one that he really doesn't need. It's also a headache that never should have happened. Jay Wright first call needed to be to Dick Bennett the minute he saw the resume (and if he didn't see it that's a whole other story because he should see every resume of any candidate he's considering). Here's how that scenario would have played out.
Wright: "Coach, How are you? It's Jay Wright at Nova."
Bennett: "Jay, how are you, what's going on?"
Wright: "Just wanted to get your take on one of your old players at Green Bay that I'm thinking about hiring."
Bennett: "Awesome, I'm surprised they haven't reached out to me to call you though, who is it?"
Wright: "Doug Martin."
Bennett: "Never heard of him Jay."
Wright: "Thanks coach, sorry for wasting your time."
Wright hangs up and then dials another number.
Wright: "Keith, you got another coach for me, Doug lied on his resume."
Stevens: "What a Dumb #$$, yeah coach I'll email you a list in an hour after I make sure they're clean. Sorry about that."
Wright: "Hey, stuff happens."
Easy right?
I mean, the fact that this guy didn't change his resume the second that Tony Freaking Bennett got hired at the University of Virginia a few years back tells you all you need to know. Didn't he think eventually somebody would bring it up? It's sad that a guy with a chance to move into a six-figure career, completely by-passing the levels that so many others have to go through, would throw it away because of a useless lie on a piece of paper.
Possible Marquette Violation No Big Deal
Marquette, just like 100′s of other programs, self-reported a possible NCAA violation. It would be no big deal except the release that the school put out failed to specify what kind of violation it was, which led to all kinds of posts and reports about an "NCAA Violation" being reported by Marquette . I have it on good authority that it was a secondary violation the likes of which get reported every day to the NCAA. It's minor. So, no worries Marquette fans.
Tweet Tweet Tweet…EWWW
Tom Crean's been thinking a lot about you lately…a whole lot.
By now I'm sure you've read about the tweet Crean sent out, allegedly meant for a recruit, that sounded rather creepy.
Step your tweet game up coach….because that last one ain't right.
Crean also received some bad news when Trey Lyles reopened his recruitment after pledging to Indiana with his first words out of the womb.
My guess? Lyles eventually matriculates to Kentucky.
CBS Asked and Coaches Answered
CBSsports.com asked a bunch of coaches who they perceived to be college basketball's biggest cheaters?
The runaway winners were John Calipari and Scott Drew. Of course each coach that answered did so with anonymity and CBS' Gary Parrish was quick to point out that he didn't want anyone saying "CBSsports.com says the biggest cheaters are" because they were just reporting what the coaches said.
I understand that…I think you understand that… but something tells me Cal and Drew will be plenty unhappy with CBSSPORTS.com
The funny thing is that almost every coach thinks anyone who beat him for a kid cheated — Cal and Drew have gotten a ton of highly coveted players. Tom Izzo recently talked about the fact that he's lost players to other coaches who cheat but until a coach like Izzo wants to step up and say "coach x paid so and so 50k to get that kid" he should stop whining and also be careful. It's crazy that most of us still seem to buy the whole (insert name of coach here) "is full of character and clean" compared to all the others propaganda. I'm sorry to break it to you but nobodies squeaky clean….nobody! Didn't we learn anything from the recent Penn State scandal? Everybody is human…and humans tend to act in their own self-interest and justify it.

Connecticut rallied behind Shabazz Napier and Jeremy Lamb to beat West Virginia in overtime and extend their two-year Big East Tournament run to seven straight wins. Georgetown was too much for Pittsburgh and then in the evening session it was Louisville and South Florida living up to their seeds to earn victories and move the today's quarterfinal round. Here is the full recap of Wednesday's action:
No. 9 Connecticut 71, No. 8 West Virginia 67
Connecticut hasn't lost a post-season basketball team since it fell to Virginia Tech 65-63 in the NIT on March 22, 2010. On Wednesday afternoon, the Huskies defeated West Virginia 71-67 in overtime to keep their streak, and their chances of a second-consecutive Big East tournament title, alive.
West Virginia looked like it was going to pull away from Connecticut in the second half as Kevin Jones and the Mountaineers seemed to track down every rebound in building a double digit lead.
The Huskies trailed 50-40 with less than 10 minutes left in the game, but Connecticut outscored West Virginia 25-15 over the remainder of the half to tie the game at 65 at the end of regulation.
Shabazz Napier led a 9-0 run for the Huskies that tied the game at 63. He scored the last two baskets of the scoring surge with two straight steals and ensuing layups.
Napier had a chance to win the game at the regulation buzzer, but missed a long 3-pointer. Napier fouled out with 2:35 left in overtime, but Jeremy Lamb took over late to lead the Huskies to the win. He hit a 3-pointer with 1:04 left in the game to give the Huskies a three point lead, 70-67.
Ryan Boatright sealed the win for the Huskies with a free throw that produced the final score with 20 seconds left in the game.
Napier scored 26 points and Lamb added 22 for Connecticut. Kevin Jones led the Huskies with 25 points, but didn't score in overtime. The Mountaineers didn't score a field goal in overtime with their two points coming on free throws from Truck Bryant.
Key Factors: The stars. Kevin Jones and Jeremy Lamb both disappeared down the closely-contested last stretch of the second half. Luckily for Connecticut, Shabazz Napeir guided the Huskie's comeback. The Mountaineers' weren't so lucky. When Jones struggled, so did West Virginia's offense, and the Mountaineers' let the Huskies back into the game. In overtime, Lamb reemerged to hit the most important shot of the game. Jones didn't score.
Promising Future: Sophomore Shabazz Napier and freshman Ryan Boatright both played well in the backcourt for the Huskies who, by their standards, are underachieving this season, but could be coming together at the right time once again. Boatright added 10 points and three assists to Napier's 26-point performance. Who else is young for the Huskies? If everyone would return for another year at the collegiate level, the Huskies would have every player that saw the floor on Wednesday back next year.
Area of Concern: Rebounding. The Mountaineers were able to pull away in the second half because they dominated the Huskies on the boards. That's something that could hurt Connecticut later in the tournament and with No. 1-seed Syracuse looming, the Huskies need to rebound better. West Virginia finished with a 40-24 rebounding advantage.
Key Quotes:
"I told Jeremy, you've got to be willing to shoot now, you've got to be looking for hits, and when he came off that curve, there was no doubt in my mind it was going in because that's what he works on in practice." –Shabazz Napier
"We don't have, as we normally do during the season, before the game we put '16′ [games] up, '17′, as we go forward. Getting ready for the DePaul game we put '1′ up. I said, look around, new season." –Jim Calhoun
No. 5 Georgetown 64, No. 13 Pittsburgh 52
Georgetown head coach John Thompson III emphasized two areas entering the Hoyas' second game against Pitt this season: points in the paint and rebounding.
His team got the message.
Georgetown out-rebounded Pitt 36-25 and scored 28 points in the paint to 20 for the Panthers. Pitt didn't have an answer for Henry Sims, who dominated the Panthers inside with 20 points and 13 rebounds.
After trailing early, the Hoyas finished the first half on a 16-2 run to take a 31-23 lead into halftime. Pitt showed signs of life early in the second as Georgetown switched to man-to-man and the Panthers went on a 6-0 run to close the gap to two points.
But Thompson called a timeout and switched the Hoyas back to zone. The Hoyas then hit two consecutive threes and with the Panthers unable to effectively attack offensively, Georgetown continued to pull away for the comfortable win.
With the loss, the Panthers' last hope of making the NCAA Tournament has been dashed. Pitt will now wait to find out if they earn a bid to the National Invitation Tournament.
Key Factors: Defense and ball movement. Pitt carved up the Hoyas' zone defense in its win over Georgetown in January. The second time around, however, the Panthers couldn't penetrate or get the ball inside. Instead, Pitt took 3-pointers and jumpers — and the Panthers didn't knock down very many of them. On the other end of the court, the Panthers couldn't stop the Hoyas, especially inside, as they struggled through foul trouble.
Promising Future: Only senior Ashton Gibbs reached double figures for the Panthers and no Pitt player played especially well. However, sophomore J.J. Moore came on for Pitt at the end of the season and played well against St. John's on Tuesday. Pitt could've used Moore's ability to drive to the basket against the Hoyas and they'll need his scoring ability next season with Gibbs and Robinson leaving the program.
Area of Concern: Not much. The Hoyas won nearly every statistical category against the Panthers, but they did get off to a slow start. Georgetown will need to play better early against a team that might find more success against the zone. And if the zone doesn't work, Georgetown will have to revert to its man-to-man defense, which, in order for the Hoyas to keep advancing, must work better than it did against the Panthers.
Key Quotes:
"I thought [Sims] was very good today in terms of his effectiveness on the block, his effectiveness as a passer and his decision making." –John Thompson III
"This is the first time in our lives we've gone through this situation. We're going to finish off strong." –Nasir Robinson on not making the NCAA Tournament, potentially playing in NIT
No. 7 Louisville 61, No. 10 Seton Hall 55
Louisville held off a late surge from Seton Hall on Wednesday to pick up a 61-55 win and advance to the quarterfinals on Thursday.
Russ Smith scored five of his 11 points to keep Louisville ahead of Seton Hall as the Pirates slimmed a 14-point second half deficit to four points with 47.9 seconds left.
But Smith responded with a free throw to push the lead back to five. After a Theodore miss, Kuric added another foul shot that sealed the win for the Cardinals.
The Pirates, sitting on the bubble like several other Big East teams, now await their NCAA Tournament fate.
Louisville went into the break with a slim 23-22 lead, but used a 20-6 run at the start of the second half to pull away.
Jordan Theodore and Herb Pope led the Pirates once again with 17 and 11 points, respectively. Peyton Siva scored 14 points and recorded six steals for the Cardinals. Kyle Kuric added 13 points.
Keys to the Game: Defense. Louisville held Seton Hall to 32.7 percent shooting from the field and 15.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The Cardinals also held Seton Hall to 25 percent shooting in the first half. The Cardinals' defense has given plenty of teams fits this season and will be the key to Louisville making a run in the Big East and NCAA tournaments.
Area of Concern: Killer instinct. The Cardinals used a 20-6 run to pull away from Seton Hall, but they couldn't keep a desperate Pirates' team from making a comeback to slim the lead to four points. Luckily for the Cardinals, they were able to hold on for the win, but they'll need to be more consistent as they continue the postseason. Louisville also got off to a slow start, shooting poorly in the first half, and let the Pirates hang around despite their own low shooting percentage.
Key Quotes:
"[Us and Seton Hall] are a mirror image of each other. We play the same type of zone that's really man. We try to confuse the opponents. We press a little bit more than they do." –Rick Pitino
"As long as we continue to play defense and continue to get steals, then that's when we're at our best. When we just focus on offense and focus on that, then we play bad, we have our slumps." –Peyton Siva
No. 6 South Florida 56, No. 14 Villanova 47
South Florida added another Big East win to its NCAA Tournament resume on Wednesday night.
The Bulls proved their defensive prowess once again, holding Villanova to 34 percent shooting on the field. A South Florida opponent has failed to reach 60 points for the ninth-straight game.
Villanova fell to the Bulls for the third time this season. South Florida led by 10 points, 27-17, at the half and the Wildcats never really threatened. They didn't pass 40 points until less than two minutes remained in the contest.
Anthony Collins led the Bulls with 17 points, while Mouphtaou Yarou scored 20 for Villanova.
The Bulls move on to face third-seeded Notre Dame on Thursday in what should be another low-scoring affair.
Keys to the Game: Defense. South Florida is the best defensive team in the conference and the Bulls showed their ability to lockdown opponents on Wednesday. Most teams have struggled to score against South Florida this season, which is why the Bulls finished sixth in the conference and are likely headed to the NCAA Tournament.
Area of Concern: Offense. As good as South Florida's defense is, it couldn't cover up the Bulls' offensive struggles against a less than mediocre Villanova squad. South Florida shot 42 percent in failing to reach 60 points.

The bright lights of Broadway will begin shining today at high noon as the 2012 BIG EAST Tournament will get underway. Leading off the action will be the #9 seeded UConn versus the #16 seed DePaul. These very two teams opened the tournament last season and the Huskies began their improbable March run of 11 straight wins with a 97-71 win over the Blue Demons. Do they have it in them again?
"Last year we did the impossible," Alex Oriakhi told the Hartford Courant. "So we know anything is possible."
Of course, last year the Huskies had Kemba Walker, who had a March run that will live on through the ages. Even without Walker UConn is a team stocked with talent. Sophomore Jeremy Lamb and freshman Andre Drummond could be lottery picks in the NBA Draft this June. Shabazz Napier and Alex Oriakhi played key roles throughout last year's March run.

NEW YORK – Fab Melo, Syracuse's sophomore center, has been named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year by a vote of the league's head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own players.
The league also announced that Notre Dame junior forward Jack Cooley is the BIG EAST Most Improved Player. Syracuse sophomore guard Dion Waiters has won the BIG EAST Sixth Man Award and Georgetown senior guard Jason Clark has been named the winner of the BIG EAST Sportsmanship Award.
Melo, who came to Syracuse from Sagemont, Fla., led the BIG EAST in blocked shots in league play with a 3.7 average. He also averaged 6.1 rebounds. The 7-0, 244-pound Melo is a valued member of the Syracuse lineup. In the team's only loss of the season, a defeat at Notre Dame, Melo did not play. He is the second straight Defensive Player of the Year winner from Syracuse. Rick Jackson was the 2010-11 honoree.
Cooley emerged as one of the BIG EAST's best big men this season after making modest contributions a season ago. As a sophomore in 2010-11, he averaged 3.7 points and 3.1 rebounds while playing 10.3 minutes per game. This season, the 6-9 Cooley is averaging 12.5 points and owns a rebounding mark of 9.2, which ranks fourth in the BIG EAST. Cooley is a native of Glenview, Ill.

Coming into their BIG EAST opener against Seton Hall, Jim Boeheim and the Syracause Orange knew they had to stop Pirate senior forward Herb Pope to keep SHU from having any hopes of upsetting the No. 1 team in the nation at the Carrier Dome. Mission accomplished for the Orange who moved to 14-0 with a 75-49 win last night.
"I thought our forwards did the best job all year of getting back in there and helping with him [Pope], and then Fab [Melo] and Baye [Keita] blocked a lot of shots," said SU coach Jim Boeheim after the game.
Pope entered the contest averaging 20.3 points a game and 11.4 rebounds, but he was stymied inside by the Orange 2-3 zone defense and finished with just four points on 2-of-9 shooting and nine rebounds, while committing six turnovers and four fouls in 28 ineffective minutes.
"I thought we did a good job tonight interior on Pope and getting to their shooters," said Beoehim.
Melo recorded his first career double-double with 12 points and 10 blocks, also adding seven rebounds in 25 minutes. Dion Waiters was the high-scorer for the Orange with 15 points coming off the bench. The Orange, who lead the nation in steals with an 11.6 mark, had 17 steals
against the Pirates and they forced Kevin Willard's club into 23 turnovers while only committing seven themselves.
Syracuse visits DePaul Sunday. Last year, SU beat the Blue Demons 107-59 at the Carrier Dome. It was the largest margin of victory in a conference game.
Seton Hall saw their eight-game win streak stopped with a thud, never challenging the top-ranked Orange, trailing 34-15 at the half and by as many as 33 in the second half. With 14 points, Jordan Theodore was the only Pirate to reach double figures in the loss.
The Hall hosts West Virginia Friday. The Pirates have lost six straight in the series. Their last win was 71-64 at home on Feb. 14, 2006.
Georgetown lost an 11-point lead in the second half at Louisville, but regrouped to prevail 71-68, handing the Cards their first loss of the season.
Sophomore guard Markel Starks scored a career-high 20 points and freshman forward Otto Porter contributed 14 points and 14 rebounds in the win.
"He hit some big shots for us tonight when we needed shots to be made," Hoya head coach John Thompson III said of Starks. "He made some big plays and his defensive got better in the second half."
Four freshmen saw action off the bench for Georgetown, led by Porter's contributions. Jabril Trawick (9 points) Mikael Hopkins (2 points) and Greg Whittingham all made meaningful contributions as the Hoya bench outscored their Cardinals counterparts 25-17.
"It's no doubt about that," said Thompson about the key contributions of the four rookies. "Otto (Porter), Jabril (Trawick), Mikael (Hopkins) came in and gave us outstanding minutes. You say freshman class, and they are freshmen and this is their first BIG EAST experience, but they've been doing that since the summer. It's a group that plays hard and competes."
The Hoyas host Providence Saturday and will put their current nine-game winning streak on the line. GU has beaten the Friars in the last five meetings and holds a 31-16 advantage in BIG EAST regular-season play.
The Cardinals saw their 20-game home winning streak end with the loss. Kyle Kuric led the team with 17 points and guards Peyton Siva and Russ Smith added 15 and 14 points, respectively.
Louisville will play at No. 3 Kentucky on Saturday, a tall order for the fourth-ranked Cards that Rick Pitino knows will greatly challenge his squad.
"Well, I think Kentucky is the better basketball team right now," said Pitino. "Running up and down and trying to outscore Kentucky would be a futile attempt to try to get a 'W.' They are a very good team defensively and that causes a lot of offense so we've got to really study. It's more about personnel than it is any sets."
Jeremy Lamb scored a game-high 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the floor in the victory at South Florida, 60-57. Lamb scored 16 points in the second half.
The game was the Huskies' first on an away court this season and the first of a three-game suspension being served by coach Jim Calhoun. Associate head coach George Blaney took the controls and will do so again as UConn hosts St. John's in Hartford on Saturday. The Huskies have dropped their last two meetings against the Red Storm after winning nine in a row.
Toarlyn Fitzpatrick recorded 14 points and game highs of 12 rebounds and three blocked shots in the loss. Augustus Gilchrist added 12 points and five rebounds. Stan Heath's club will look to bounce back and get their first conference win on Sunday when they host Rutgers. USF has won their last three home meetings against the Scarlet Knights.
Senior Truck Bryant scored a career-high 34 points to lead West Virginia to an 83-69 victory over Villanova in the Big East opener for both teams last night at the WV Coliseum.
Kevin Jones, who suffered a cut near his right eye that required stitches, had 13 points and seven rebounds. Gary Browne came off the bench to score 11 points. Deniz Kilicli added 10 points, eight rebounds and two blocks.
WVU plays at Seton Hall Friday. The Mountaineers won last year's meeting 56-44 in Morgantown.
Maalik Wayns and Dominic Cheek each scored 20 points in the loss for 'Nova.
The key stretch of the game came with 5:47 left and the score tied at 63 when Bryant hit two of three free throws to start a 10-2 spurt where WVU took control of the game for good. Browne followed with a three-pointer and then Bryant answered a Wayns three with one of his own. Brown capped off the run with a driving lay-up to make the score 73-65
The lead eventually swelled to as many as 16 in the last minute, making the final distance between the two teams a little deceiving.
"That's the best 7-6 team there is in the country," said West Virginia coach Bob Huggins of Villanova. "I thought they were extremely physical."
The Wildcats play Sunday at Marquette in their next outing, hoping to even their conference record.
Thursday's schedule shows three BIG EAST teams hosting non-conference opponents, all on national television. Rutgers battles No. 10/10 Florida on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. followed by Vanderbilt at Marquette. At 9 p.m., ESPNU has Cincinnati hosting Oklahoma at US Bank Arena.

Notre Dame and St. John's began the BIG EAST portion of the 2011-12 season Tuesday with wins against Pittsburgh and Providence, respectively, on Tuesday night.
Notre Dame extended its homecourt winning streak to 28 games with last night's win, 72-59 over No. 22 Pittsburgh. The Irish haven't lost at Purcell Pavilion since Feb. 14, 2010, when they fell 69-68 to St. John's.
Guard Alex Dragicevich scored a career-high 22 points to lead the Irish on Tuesday night. Dragicevich, who had scored just six points in six previous BIG EAST games before this season, scored 17 of his 22 after halftime, which included making all three of his attempts beyond the three-point arc.
The Irish rallied from a 26-25 halftime deficit by shooting 72% (18-25) after intermission.
"I have been a part of a lot of fun games here," Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said after the game. "But this one ranks right up there with the best. To see us play with that swagger in the second half, I guess I just wasn't sure this group was ready for that."
Jerian Grant and Eric Atkins also reached double figured for Notre Dame, scoring 15 points a piece. Grant added a game-high nine assists and Jack Cooley helped ND stay close on the boards, grabbing 14 shots off the backboards to go with his eight points.
"We have a week to practice and after a win you always have a little more juice," said Brey. "It's just great to be 1-0 in this league, especially at home, that feels good. It's something to build on and God knows we needed something to build on."
The Irish play the first of back-to-back road games with a Jan. 4 visit to Cincinnati. Notre Dame has won three straight against the Bearcats, including a pair of wins last season.
For Pitt it was their second consecutive loss after falling to non-conference opponent Wagner on Dec. 23 at the Peterson Events Center.
"We need to play better, we will play better and that's what we have to work on," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said following last night's loss. "We are a team that has a lot of things to improve on and we will get there and we know we've got things to work on."
Sophomore Talib Zanna led the Panthers with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the game. Seniors Ashton Gibbs and Nasir Robinson each added 12. Gibbs passed current Pitt assistant coach and former point guard Brandin Knight for 12th place on Pittsburgh's career scoring chart (1,443 points).
Junior guard Tray Woodall returned to the lineup after missing six games with a groin/abdominal injury, but did not score in 18 minutes.
Last night's loss was just the seventh time in Jamie Dixon's nine-year tenure that Pitt had lost back-to-back games. Pitt will try to avoid a third-straight defeat when, like the Irish, they take on Cincinnati in their next game. Pittsburgh has won its last six meetings against Cincinnati. The Panthers are 6-1 against the Bearcats in regular-season BIG EAST play. They will host Mick Cronin's club at the Peterson Events Center on New Year's Day.
Freshman Moe Harkless scored 32 points in his BIG EAST debut to lead St. John's past Providence last night, 91-67, at Carnesecca Arena. Harkless' total is the most by a freshman in his first BIG EAST game in league history. The previous mark of 30 points was held by Notre Dame's Troy Murphy and Georgetown's Allen Iverson.
"I didn't even know that," Harkless said following the game on his record-setting performance. "That's an honor to even be mentioned with those guys. Being able to break the record is a great feeling."
For the seventh consecutive game the Redstorm was coached by associate head coach Mike Dunlap as Steve Lavin continues his recovery from prostate surgery.
"We were able to play a team that came in pretty hot and has played some good people, so we are very pleased with that win," said Dunlap. "We've still got to work Amir [Garrett] in and now we have a seven-man rotation."
D'Angelo Harrison added 25 points and 7 assists in the win and Phil Greene also finished in double figures with 12. In all, SJU freshmen combined to score 77 of the 91 points put on the scoreboard for the 'Storm.
Up next for the Redstorm is a New Year's Eve date with defending national champion UConn. St. John's has won its last two meetings
against Connecticut.
The loss snapped a seven-game win streak for the Friars, who also had their worst defensive effort of the season, a trait that has plagued them in recent BIG EAST seasons. SJU scored 91 points and shot 56.5% from the field. PC also hurt themselves by turning the ball over 20 times. All in all it was not the performance Friar head coach Ed Cooley was expecting from his team.
"Our kids were just pathetic today in every imaginable way," said Cooley afterwards. "I thought we were very selfish today. We weren't tough at all. We just weren't tough. I could take losing games. As a coach you're going to lose a lot of games and you're going to win some games. But you just have to show that passion to compete and we didn't show that tonight. I'm very disappointed with our execution and our competitive level."
Gerard Coleman scored 20 points against the Red Storm for Providence, which will look to avoid an 0-2 BIG EAST start when they travel to Washington DC to take on Georgetown at the Verizon Center Saturday. PC has not won at Georgetown since March of 2005.
Tonight's BIG EAST Schedule:
Wednesday, December 28
GEORGETOWN at LOUISVILLE – ESPN2……………………….7:00
SETON HALL at SYRACUSE………………………………..7:00
VILLANOVA at WEST VIRGINIA…………………………….7:00
CONNECTICUT at SOUTH FLORIDA…………………………..9:00
Eight more teams begin BIG EAST play Wednesday, including tough tests for the league's two unbeaten clubs. Top-ranked Syracuse takes a 13-0 record into a 7 p.m. game against 11-1 Seton Hall at the Carrier Dome. While the Orange and Pirates split their two contests last season, the 90-68 drubbing SHU put on SU at the Dome last season will be certainly on the mind of the Syracuse players. No. 4/4 Louisville (12-0) hosts No. 12/12 Georgetown (10-1) on ESPN2 at 7 p.m. U of L is 2-4 against the Hoyas in BIG EAST play.
West Virginia and Villanova also meet at 7 p.m. in Morgantown, W.Va. The Wildcats hold a 10-9 edge in the series in conference regular-season play. No. 9/9 Connecticut plays its first road game of the season when it visits USF at 9 p.m. The Huskies will be without coach Jim Calhoun, who begins an NCAA-imposed three-game suspension. UConn has an 8-1 edge in its all-time series against the Bulls.

BIG EAST teams are a combined 31-2 in the early going this season, with both losses coming yesterday.
West Virginia got the day started off early for BIG EAST watchers with a 10 AM game hosting Kent State as part of the ESPN College Hoops Tip-ff Marathon. The young Mountaineers fell to one of the MAC pre-season favorites 70-60 in Morgantown.
WVU had a 5-point lead at the half, but it quickly disappeared and Rob Senderoff earned his first win as the new head coach of Kent Statet. A 19-4 run midway through the second half seized control of the game for the Golden Flashes. Bob Huggins did not want to use youth as an excuse.
"We throw the ball to them; we throw the ball to them for layups, we don't get back and today it wasn't just the freshmen," said Huggins to msnsportsnet.com. "Today we had seniors who didn't do their job."

Wednesday was a big day for the Big East Conference with Men's Basketball Media Day being held at the New York Athletic Club with Madison Square Garden still being renovated. Of course the topic du jour had little to do with the upcoming action on the courts around the league but rather what the next step will be for a conference hit hard by realignment. Tuesday's teleconference with commissioner John Marinatto, which was supposed to clear up matters and leave this stage to the players and coaches, did little in that regard.
Media from around the country wanted to hear directly from the coaches how the lack of stability is affecting them from a recruiting standpoint as well as what options may be available to them in the near future. Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey essentially said that regardless of what may happen (Big East expansion to 12 football-playing members or a Big 12 expansion that includes current Big East members) the Irish will be alright, which is to be expected of a school with such a storied football program.
Louisville head coach Rick Pitino minced no words on the subject, saying that while he couldn't imagine the Big East without charter member Syracuse he could imagine the conference without Pittsburgh. And then came the unfortunate analogy that sparked numerous "pot meet kettle" reactions given the coach's own issue a couple summers ago.

I'm not sure what to make of this feeling that's come over me after allowing all this conference realignment mess to sink in. After all, my initial reaction (Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes) was so mature, so enlightened, that it made me feel what's best described as false pride about how adult my response was. Then a funny thing happened on my journey to accepting this with a rational level of, dare I say, Bilas-like comportment — I got stuck.
I couldn't write a damn thing about the upcoming season, completely paralyzed regarding any news coming out of the entire world of college basketball. In fact I think I conned myself into thinking it was just my extraordinary amount of work on other sports the last few weeks (freelance variety) that had kept me from my usual barrage of words this time of year.
But that was just me kidding myself.
Then Thursday night, while watching college football of all things, it hit me.
This hurts.
I mean, it's ridiculous to blow up this conference.
Nobody really knows what the end game will be here but one thing is obvious — the Big East that we've known for the last several years is soon to be no longer.

Villanova Wildcats
Head Coach: Jay Wright (11th year at Villanova, 224-110 record)
2010-2011: 9-9 BIG EAST, 21-12 overall, NCAA 1st Round
Returning Players:
- Jr. G Maalik Wayns (13.8 ppg)
- Jr. C/F Mouphtaou Yarou (8.4 ppg, 7.1 rpg)
- Jr. G/F Dominic Cheek (5.6 ppg)
- Jr. C/F Maurice Sutton (2.4 ppg)
- So. G James Bell (2.4 ppg)
Incoming Players:
- Fr. F Jayvaughn Pinkston (Suspended for 2010-2011)
- Fr. G Ty Johnson (Plainfield, NJ)
- Fr. G Achraf Yacoubou (Bronx, NY)
- Fr. G/F Darrun Hillard (Bethlehem, PA)
- Fr. F Markus Kennedy (Yeadon, PA)
Players Moved On:
- Corey Fisher (Graduation)
- Corey Stokes (Graduation)
- Antonio Pena (Graduation)
- Isaiah Armwood (Transfer)
Stat Notes:
- The Wildcats ended 2010-11 on a six game losing streak with their last win coming over DePaul in overtime. They lost 8 of their last 10 and 10 of their last 14.
- Nova loses three of its top four scorers from last season including Corey Fisher who finished his career as the 13th all-time leading scorer in school history.
Star Watch:
- Junior guard Maalik Wayns had a breakout season in 2010-2011 and should be even better this year. The 6-2 guard from Philly will have to do a great job running the show for VU if they want to improve on last season's late collapse.
Newcomer to Watch:
- Jayvaughn Pinkston was a highly regarded member of the 2010 recruiting class who sat out his last season due to legal issues but will suit up for the Wildcats this year as a freshman and could very well start at the four spot right away.
Notes: Jay Wright's bunch are part of the 76 Classic field in Anaheim (11/24-11/27) and will play at inner-city rival Temple (12/10) in the non-conference portion of the schedule. The Wildcats also went on a tour of Europe in which they took on multiple European national teams. Villanova is one of four Big East teams not participating in the BIG EAST/SEC Challenge.

The BIG EAST basketball conference released their 2011-2012 composite Men's Basketball Schedule this afternoon. All 144 conference games will be televised either nationally or be ESPN regional. With an incredible 91 percent of all conference games in 2011-12 including a team that played in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, more than half of the league games will be televised nationally by ESPN or CBS.
It is the fifth consecutive season that all 144 league games will be televised.
"Last year's historic success proved once again that the BIG EAST Conference continues to be among the most competitive conferences in the country from top to bottom," said BIG EAST Commissioner John Marinatto in a statement released by the league today. "With a record 11 teams earning their way into last year's NCAA Championship, our coaches and players reaffirmed the fact that BIG EAST basketball and excellence are synonymous. Our schools continue to take great advantage of the unparalleled media exposure they are afforded annually from both ESPN and CBS Sports – which is one of the reasons why we are confident that the 2011-12 season will be as exciting as any in our history."

Fake! One of the guys is on a video on YouTube titled "THE YANKTON, OREGON BIGFOOT UNSEEN FOOTAGE ". They had a guy in a suite there. It showed a practice run of the shooting. These guys are clowns.
Jjcbigfoot January 6, 2010 6:28:07 AM CET
I agree. However, they don't look like the type to be worried about pictures of their adventure. Drinking may have kicked in the need to film. Also, the one guy kept filming instead of running or grabbing for a gun. I get the feeling a couple may have setting up the others. Takes some planning for the whole event to playout. If it was a setup, the guy in the suit had to be drunker than the others. Voting 85% real.
Rachel444 January 7, 2009 10:14:16 PM CET
Believable, as they had been drinking. One reported a foul smell and laughed about it suggesting it was his mate. Also, for two grown men that were hunters, they seemed upset by it. Also, their mates didn\'t believe them. It is dangerous around a hunting camp for somebody to pull that kind of a joke, as it could lead to somebody being shot, as you heard one of the men shout out when his mate shot the gun in his direction. That alone gives the video credibility. Who in their right mind would shoot a live round at what they suppose was a threat, unaware that it is one of their companions? Is this a hoax? No, I believe not.

May 15, 2003Albany-- Like most teens, one Albany High School senior is getting his cap and gown ready for graduation this weekend. But, one thing is different--he's also raising a child.
Marco Mason has a two-year-old son. Marco became a father when he was in 10th grade. Instead of dropping out, he got involved with Phoebe Putney Hospital's Teen Dad's program, "Without the program, I wouldn't have finished school. By now I think I would just be working, out of school, without a high school education. The program was there to help with many obstacles."
40 young fathers take part in the Teen Dad's program and today, several of them were honored for their upcoming high school graduations. Marco plans to attend Albany State University.

Wheels on the Bus
This Bank Holiday Weekend was incredible. Friends, a wonderful attentive and sexually diverse lover, cool events and 8 old mates ALL sleeping in my room - all combined into a sea of drunkness and adventure. It was certainly a spontaneous one, but one to remember.
There was, however, ONE incident that seemed to fester at the back of my mind for the most part of it. The 176 bus is never a place I like to visit willingly - lack of money generally decides that for me. But in any case, I was venturing past the borders of Dulwich when this young black fresh-faced girl with a green top, who couldnt have been more than 15, walks up the top deck aisle, and stares at me with unflinching intimidation until she reaches her seat, RIGHT behind me. I could pratically feel her breath down my neck.
Shouting on her phone louder than Foghorn Leghorn, she relentlessly blurted into her handset with an overbearing South East accent various aspects of her non-eventful day. My boyfriend sat next to me, with the right idea of putting his headphones in, to drown out the noise. The girl then decided to tell her friend all about ME. My mouth dropped and my fists shook as she ripped into me, so LOUD that everybody on the fucking top deck could hear clearly:
"Right yeh - hear 'dis. There's a gal sat 'ere RIGHT infront of me, right, and she's well fucked up. She's got like 4 earrings in her ears yeah, some dutty dreads and some fucked up hairstyle, her fringe is like well fucked- she's got these NASTY tattoo's all over her - she's DISGUSTING. Its making me SICK.... YEAH, innit doh? Shes a fucking DISGRACE."
I looked at my boyfriend, who was oblivious to the better part of this bitch's outburst, and I got up, stormed down the top deck aisle, and shot the cunt a dirty look as I walked down the stairs facing her. I COULDNT BELIEVE IT.
As a woman who is alternative, queer and flamboyantly dressed, I am used to the odd comment, funny look, double take and even shouted sentence from passers by. I choose to ignore them, knowing that when I chose my style and decided to stretch my ears etc, it was a decision I made along with all of the social consequences. I am NOT USED to people like that little bitch shouting words like 'disgraceful' and 'disgusting' to an entire audience, simply over how I choose to appear. The only reason I didnt turn around to punch her and knock some sense into her ignorant head is because she probably has a willing gang of knife wielding bastards who would hunt my distinctive self down in a second once I'd banged her up. I also hate violence, and try to avoid confrontation whenever possible, so for her to make me feel like that took A LOT of aggravation on her part.
My boyfriend did a really good job of holding me and telling me that her life was obviously so meaningless and boring that she felt the need to go around making other people's lives a misery as a form on entertainment, and that her mother must be proud that she dragged up such a little runt. However - I cant help but still feel those comments burn in the back of my mind. It doesnt help when somebody such as myself already has confidence issues.
I hope that one day that young girl throws offence like that to somebody else, in another part of London, and they give her what for because they dont take ANY shit, or that theyre not as strong as me for holding back. I'd like to see her face when she realises what reactions some people CAN have, and hopefully somebody will teach her a lesson.
It makes me sad how young people can live like this on a day to day basis.

3.9/5 rDev +2.6%
Crystal clear amber with a fine, light beige cap. Sticky, solid lacing clung to the glass. Good head retention. Soft aroma, spicy with a hint of lemon and malt. A little on the mild side. Moderate bitterness with spicy, peppery, earthy hops throughout. Light caramel malt sweetness. Medium to light bodied with fine carbonation, a bit dry. Nice texture. I really liked this hop. It was a little weak in the aroma, but really worked well on its own.

3.78/5 rDev -0.5%
Pours rusty copper with thin white head. Smells of earthy malts. Brown sugar and roasty sweetness with orange and pine hops. Sticky feel.
Creeping up on being an amber. Maybe too thick to be very drinkable, but not too challenging at the same time.

A: Crystal clear amber body. Moderate off-white head. Light skim and spotty lacing are left after the head dies down and after each sip.
S: Lots of caramel malt. Slight bready malt undertones. Not much hop in the nose.
T: Caramel malt and herbal, floral hop notes. Not a whole lot going on here, but it does taste decent.
M: Medium bodied with a lingering bitterness after each sip. Slightly undercarbonated for my liking.
D: The hops simply were not present enough to showcase what the marynka hop is capable of. My #10 of the 11 single-hop hop project brews.

The Recessionary Shock Doctrine: Shutdowns, Outsourcing
July 28
1:10 pm
A General Motors plant in Lake Orion, Mich. (Bill Pugliano/Getty Images)
At the White House, President Obama's team reportedly jokes, "Never pass up the opportunity of a good crisis."
In other words, it is crucial to use the current economic crisis to drive through badly-needed reforms that corporate special interests could successfully obstruct in normal times.
However, Corporate America has its own strategy for exploiting the economic crisis. In the name of cost-cutting driven by hard times, corporations are engaging in a massive spree of plant closings, job relocations, and mass layoffs.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going—to the Sunbelt, Mexico, or China.
Of course, these moves drastically deepen the recession by directly reducing the buying power of U.S. consumers and instilling insecurity among the bottom 80 percent of American families.
The epidemic of job destruction and corporate extortion continues unabated, and it's all too visible in Wisconsin, where I live. More than ever, this wave is sweeping around the state and hitting employers crucial to communities' economic futures:
- General Motors devastated the economy of Janesville by shutting down a plant employing 2,800 workers, the town's biggest source of jobs. (Janesville's jobless rate is now 14.4 percent and nearby Beloit—where many GM suppliers were located—is at 18.6 percent.)
- More recently, Kenosha learned it will take a major blow with the relocation—despite commitments to the UAW—of more than 800 Chrysler-Fiat engine jobs to a low-wage plant in Saltillo, Mexico where wages and benefits will likely run about $4 an hour. Chrysler was once Kenosha's biggest employer, but it is now wiping out the last of the 38,000 auto jobs Wisconsin once had.
The very latest case is Mercury Marine threatening to close its unionized outboard-engine plant in Fond du Lac and transfer operations to an existing plant in non-union Oklahoma, leaving 2,000 jobless workers in the dust. Fond du Lac would also lose its biggest and highest-wage employer.
Workers in Wausau average about $50,000 a year, hardly a fortune. But in right-to-work Oklahoma, pay is one-third less that at the non-union Mercury Marine plant.
The International Association of Machinists has accurately described this as another case of "corporate extortion." Mercury Marine, despite having recently signed a four-year contract with the union, now mercurially wants to virtually "eliminate nearly all the terms in the current contract," the IAM said.
Corporate loyalty to workers and communities clearly has its limits. "Mercury Marine has benefited for decades from state and local tax incentives and public support," IAM business representative Russell Krings points out.
But when it comes to extracting wage cuts from workers and tax breaks from states, "[y]ou can never give enough," one Wisconsin union leader concludes from years of experience.
No matter how much the union concedes or how many millions financially-squeezed Wisconsin comes up with in incentives, they can never feel secure. (Against this backdrop, it was an almost hallucinatory experience to read a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist declaring firmly, "as a whole, business is the general interest of the state.")
The onslaught of plant closings and relocations—both threatened and real—will continue until the Obama administration comes up with an industrial policy that prevents corporations from playing off workers and states against each other in order to further drive down wages.
But the Obama administration, encrusted with the "financiers first" mentality of men like Lawrence Summers (head of the White House's National Economic Council), will not even begin to contemplate such a policy until the AFL-CIO and Change to Win begin backing up workers with real resources to fight plant shutdowns in Fond du Lac and elsewhere.
That would mean nationally spotlighting corporations like Mercury Marine, a subsidiary of Brunswick, for its failure to honor its union contract and its obligations to Wisconsin because of past tax concessions.
It would also mean encouraging and fully supporting militant action across the nation to confront every corporation that is using the pretext of the deep recession to outsource more jobs.
Every U.S. firm that turns its back on workers and communities during this national economic emergency—like Mercury Marine—needs to be thoroughly embarrassed through a concerted national strategy by labor—and so does the Obama administration.

Game week has arrived for college football teams around the
country. That means coaches are not only getting their players ready for their
first opponent, but they are also beginning their game week media obligations.
The Big 12 made its coaches available to the media on its
weekly teleconference. Head Coach Dana Holgorsen answered questions about his
team as it prepares to face Marshall on Saturday.
One of the biggest questions facing the Mountaineers is the
health of former starting running back Dustin Garrison. Garrison missed the
Orange Bowl last January after suffering a torn ACL in his knee the week of the
"He was sore last week, so we gave him a few days off,"
Holgorsen said. "The plan all along was to get him to game week and get him out
there and see what happens. We haven't made that decision at this point."
Holgorsen stated that Shawne Alston will start at running
back in the Marshall game. If Garrison cannot play, Andrew Buie, Ryan Clark,
Donovan Miles, D'Vontis Arnold and Cody Clay were all names that Holgorsen
threw out there that could be used to carry the ball if needed.
As for Saturday's matchup, this will be Holgorsen's second
game against Marshall. WVU won a weather-shortened game last year in
"It is in-state. It is a game that means a lot to the people
of West Virginia. It means a lot to both teams for bragging rights."
Holgorsen said he spent the past week watching all of
Marshall's games from 2011 and noticed one particular thing about the Herd.
"I know watching all of Marshall's games from last year that
they played considerably harder against West Virginia than they did against any
team out there," Holgorsen stated. "We are expecting to get their best."
Marshall always looks forward to the matchup against West
Virginia. It easily provides a team from a lesser conference a chance to take
down a team from a BCS conference. While WVU has moved from the Big East to the
Big 12, that theme remains in place.
"Just playing up a conference they are going to play hard,"
Holgorsen said. "It's a quality Conference USA team and won their bowl game.
They are coming in here with a little bit of momentum and will be ready to
Marshall returns two good playmakers from a year ago.
Perhaps the most dangerous of the group is receiver Aaron Dobson.
"He ended up being the player of their bowl game last year,"
Holgorsen said of Dobson. "He is a big, good-looking kid. He is a returning
starter and does a good job of being a physical guy that can block and makes
some catches that are pretty spectacular. He is obviously a guy that caught our
eye and is going to be one of the bigger focal points of what we need to do to
win the game."
Of course Dobson has to get his hands on the ball and that
will be determined by the play of Sophomore quarterback Rakeem Cato.
"He experienced some growing pains, which all freshmen do,
especially at the quarterback position," Holgorsen said of Cato. "Question
number one is, which offense are they going to run. Hopefully he is learning
his second offense in as many years. He showed some pretty good signs of being
a special kind of quarterback. He has won a lot of games from high school and
we will have to contain him, no doubt."
The West Virginia defense will have a lot to say about
whether or not Dobson and Cato succeed on Saturday. WVU changed in the spring
from a 3-3-5 odd stack defense to a 3-4. The players have been learning that
defense throughout the spring and fall camp.
"We've got a lot of new bodies," Holgorsen said of his
defense. "We are going to play four or five freshmen defensive line or
linebacker type guys."
Making plays on the field is obviously a top priority, but
Holgorsen indicated he will be watching his defense to see who emerges as the
"My biggest concern is replacing guys like Keith Tandy and
Najee Goode who were our backbone of what we did defensively," Holgorsen said. "They
were the best leaders we had on the team. It takes game-type experience to see
which one of those guys are going to step up and become leaders and guys that
we rely on when things are not going good."
After a month of hitting each other, the Mountaineers are
excited to see an opponent wearing a different color jersey. Finally, the
players will have the opportunity to play a game.
"We are excited about this being our first game. We don't
care who we are playing. Everybody is excited about playing the first game
regardless of who it is or where it is."
WVU will host Marshall on Saturday. Kickoff is set for noon.
