Hello StampedeBlue
I have been gone quite awhile and have missed out on tons of the well-written articles on SBNation. Meanwhile, I have talked to my relatives who drove from Fort Wayne, IN all the way to Anderson, IN daily to attend Colts training camp, I was happy to get all the information and insight needed. I'm extremely stoked for the 2013-14 NFL season.
I have been looking back at the talent of some of our new Free Agent acquisitions, and a few oft injured players that have missed a decent amount of time that are currently on the roster, I think that if these guys remain healthy all season and beyond; they can help the Colts achieve great success and help bring in a few Super Bowl Championships to Indy. I like what the front office has done these past 2 seasons with identifying team needs and addressing them to the best of their ability. Let's take a look at the players who can potentially become franchise saviors for the Indianapolis Colts.
Donald Brown: Word is that Brown is being shipped down the depth chart for the likes of Ballard and Bradshaw, while he hasn't produced well enough to warrant being a 1st Round selection, I can't apply the "bust" label to a running back who hasn't had a consistent O-line to run behind since he was drafted. Brown has great speed that can leave defenders in the dust, and can make any play in the backfield. He has reliable hands and his pass protection has gotten better over the past years. Brown is a great asset to Pep Hamilton's "No Coast Offense". If the O-line finally becomes legit for once this season, Brown can be a major contributor to the Colts having success running the ball. Let's not count out Donald Brown just yet.
Ben Ijalana: I can understand why the Colts Front Office may have little to no faith in Ijalana's ability to remain healthy and play a full season; having 2 consecutive ACL tears can make any coaching staff uneasy about any player. Ben Ijalana has tremendous upside and potential, after re-watching the entire 2011 season; I have witnessed the talent this man possesses. He might not have a mean streak but he is strong and pretty quick on his feet for a man his size. My family has said that Ijalana is currently practicing with the 3rd team and looks a bit stiff in his movements and has lost some of his athleticism, it could be a result of the ACL tears or he is just taking it easy in Training Camp. If Ijalana remains healthy this season, not only does he provide great depth on the O-Line but he can also become a reliable starter if one of the starting lineman were to suffer an injury.
Coby Fleener: I remember back in 2012 right before the draft, I correctly predicted that Fleener will fall to the Colts and be re-joined with QB Andrew Luck. Fleener may have been a disappointment for a few fans but the expectations shouldn't have been been too high for a rookie TE; not only that but Fleener missed games due to injury and WAS NOT utilized right in Bruce Arian's offensive scheme. Now that his college Offensive Coordinator has been employed by the Indianapolis Colts, I expect Fleener to be a major contributor to the Colts offense and provide a great target for Luck in the Red Zone. Fleener displayed enough upside for me to have faith in his talents beginning with the upcoming season
Griff Whalen: Whalen was one of the most impressive undrafted free agent rookies in 2012, he has hands made out of glue and velcro, runs crisp routes and can easily find holes in a zone defense, his only problem is going against man-to-man cover CBs and beating press coverage off the line. Whalen really reminds me of a slower version of Anthony Gonzales or a more athletic Austin Collie. Whalen did a great job working with backup QBs Drew Stanton and Chandler Harnish, if he can develop that much chemistry with the two aforementioned QBs in a matter of months, just imagine how much damage he can do if he takes reps with Andrew Luck and plays in a scheme he is truly familiar with. Whalen has the talent to be a #2 WR in this offense, if he remains healthy; he will show you better than I can tell you.
Pat Angerer: Angerer came out of nowhere in 2011 and just took the NFL by storm, for several weeks he was the leader in tackles and provided great defensive play and added light to one of the darkest seasons ever witnessed by Colts fan all around. 2012 was looking real promising for Angerer until a foot injury sidelined him for a few weeks and in turn caused a major drop off in production. If Angerer can return to his 2011 form, he can be a major asset in the defensive success for the Colts. I think Angerer can get his head wrapped around the new scheme and get coached up properly by Greg Manusky; a very underrated Linebackers coach who has developed LBs like LaVar Arrington, Donnie Edwards, and Patrick Willis while turning mediocre LBs like Antwan Barnes into an above average playmaker; he can also be responsible for the emergence of Jerrell Freeman. If Angerer comes back 100% from his injuries, we should see 100% production from Pat Angerer.
Josh Chapman: I'm very excited for the 2012-13 season, I know I mentioned that already but when you have the change to finally get a good look at NT Josh Chapman, you'll be excited as well. For those who doesn't follow SEC football like I do; let me break it down to you: If Chapman goes back to his Alabama days and can play at the NFL level, this man who will be an absolute beast once he overcomes the ACL tear and returns to form. Josh Chapman was the first player I have ever seen continue to play dominant despite having a severe injury. I think Chapman is the missing piece in the 3-4 defense and will be a force to reckoned with years to come. I dare any offensive lineman to challenge Chapman one on one, teams will fare better double teaming him instead.
Vontae Davis: Davis came to the team in 2012 as the premier #1 CB, while he didn't have any training camp or pre-season to really get a full grasp of the defensive scheme and injuries kept him out of the lineup for several games, he came back later in the season and displayed great coverage skills and even gave an elite WR like Andre Johnson a run for his money in both match-ups. Now that Chuck Pagano is back after bitch-slapping cancer in the face, he will make Davis a much better CB and hopefully turn Davis and Toler both as one of the best CB tandems in the NFL. I have high expectations for Davis this season, if he shows his true potential; our defense will be destined for greatness and that will help us with a Super Bowl victory.
Ricky Jean-Francois: RJF was one of my favorite free agent signing this off-season. After losing the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens, this will be a man on a mission; a player with blood on his mind, he will want to get a ring sometime in the future. RJF was stuck behind a very talented D-Line in San Francisco but still managed to break the lineup every now and then. Now this will be his chance to shine, I think RJF will be the player that will take the NFL by storm similar to what Jerrell Freeman did in 2012. He will be a complimentary player to Chapman, Redding, and Franklin; I really can't see wait to see him on the field as a Colt.
LaRon Landry: Like teammate RJF, I was happy when the Colts inked Landry to play in the secondary. Landry is a very huge upgrade over the last few safeties we had like Melvin Bullitt, David Caldwell, Joe Lefeged, and Tom Zbikowski. He brings a very menacing presence to the Colts backfield unit similar to what former Colts safety Bob Sanders provided. Landry should make things easier for FS Antoine Bethea; a guy who was forced to do everything from playing in the box for run support to providing coverage and backup security for our under performing CB corps. He will be a great asset to the Colts defense if he can remain healthy throughout his Colts career and learn how to do a thing called coverage.
Greg Toler: I think I will be paying attention to how well Toler progresses under Head Coach Chuck Pagano. Toler was a 4th Round selection in the same CB draft class (2009) as teammates Vontae Davis and Darius Butler, but Toler was a small school prospect coming from St Paul's College who played in the Division II of the NCAA. Despite his small school status, he was a shut down CB at the DII level and had great size and displayed great measurables at the Combine. If Toler can remain healthy as a Colt and display that shutdown ability he had in college, him along with fellow CB Vontae Davis can turn into a shutdown CB tandem and greatly help the Colts return to a NFL powerhouse.

I am actually a little worried about the new humpdate format. If you can pull it off without it sounding to schitzo it might turn out good. If it doesn't work out though I say you just focus on the one weekend show. That can never go wrong with all three of you on there.
February 21st, 2009 at 9:14 am
Dont worry Hoshneer.. we'll all be busting our asses off on this.
This is really nice of Edie to give this a shot. Not only will it help out her and the Gamehounds Crew, but it help others like My podcast UGSTL and many others get recognized.
Plus fyi real quick… Dick and Joey may make a return ;D.. but you didnt hear that from me, so shhh!

@ Mr. Maynard- If anyone can pull it off it's Gamehounds. I have faith.

Colorado officials investigate wild horse buyer
9News Reports Nov 11, 2012
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Agriculture officials say a southern Colorado man under investigation for his handling of protected wild horses has acknowledged shipping animals out of the state in violation of brand inspection laws.
The Gazette reports the Colorado Department of Agriculture's Brand Inspection Division has turned 64-year-old Tom Davis' case over to the district attorney in Alamosa for prosecution.
Davis, a livestock hauler and proponent of the horse meat industry, has purchased more than 1,700 wild horses from the federal Bureau of Land Management since 2008 – roughly 70 percent of all horses sold by the agency.
Colorado Brand Commissioner Chris Whitney says Davis acknowledged shipping horses out of the state without the required inspections.
Davis, who agreed not to sell any of the horses to slaughter, says he has lived up to his contracts.

Athletic Top vs. Bike Jersey
Functioning more like an athletic top than a bike jersey, the W Pace SS offers no pockets or zipper. At first, I thought a top without pockets would prove inferior to my plethora of existing multi-pocketed jerseys. However, it didn't take longer than my first ride to figure out that I never actually use those pockets--I typically carry a hydration pack and cram all of my necessary items inside. The absence of additional fabric around my lower back felt near weightless and helped to keep me cool. That said, if you prefer to ride pack-free and your shorts don't offer a storage option, you'll need to find a creative way to fasten your spare tube, pump, bars, gels, etc. to your bike.
I was used to wearing full-zip jerseys that had made their way into my everyday rotation. While the "no-zip" W Pace SS doesn't offer any length zipper, I quickly realized that the v-neck provides all the extra air flow I desire. Males likely don't have this issue, but I never use the "full" zip option on my existing jerseys to their full potential anyway. Moreover, not having to fidget with a zipper left my hands and mind free to navigate safely through the woods. Function aside, there is one aesthetic aspect of the v-neck I am not terribly fond of: some sports bras will peek out of the "v". I've dealt with this by choosing my undergarments wisely. Perhaps if the neckline wasn't so low, this wouldn't be a problem. Then again, that might compromise airflow.
Cool & Dry
Beyond Biking
An additional benefit I had not foreseen was that the W Pace SS would be an ideal at-home workout shirt. I started an exercise routine over the winter, and felt silly wearing a heavy full-zip, pocketed jersey indoors. This is my go-to shirt when I turn the pedals on the trainer or turn on the exercise DVD. And because it's aesthetically-pleasing, I don't even mind sporting it around the house or out to run errands after the fact.
Though I haven't put it to the test, Helly Hansen notes that the W Pace SS has a Lifa®-striped reflective overlay across the back of the shirt to enhance visibility during nightfall.
MSRP: $45.00; sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.

2009 Volvo XC90
The XC90 has off-road capability and Volvo refinement.
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Get if you're short and don't need directions by Patty on 12/21/2009. Trim: 2009 Volvo XC90 3.2 R-Design, Owned 1 year.
Pros: I feel very safe in it. And while its not the flashiest of cars, I do find it a bit stylish.
Cons: Turning capacity is an issue - even pulling into a parking spot is problematic. Interior is very tight (both front and back seats) if you happen to be over 5'5" and especially if you have a car seat in the back. The third row (one of the initial selling points) is unaccessible and EXTREMELY uncomfortable once it is; there is about 6" of leg/knee/foot space. Totally useless. The doors never stay open which is a problem when you open the door to put your baby in the car seat and the door swings back at you and your baby. Console/dash area is a mess - there are 3 different controls for the sound system alone. Bluetooth is an afterthought. Navigation system is HORRIBLE!
Overall review: Ultimately, we got this car for safety. It seems there was an extraordinary amount of time spent on this, which I am extremely grateful for, but everything else was thrown in with very little thought. How safe is it to try to change the radio station and you have to go from one knob on one side of the console to another on the other side? I mean, there is a keypad with numbers 1-0 on the dash and its not for the bluetooth but yet another control for the radio. The navigation system once sent me on a 15 mile round about to a place that was 3 miles from my home and thats if it even recognizes the destination which half the time it doesn't. Don't even bother spending your money for the upgrade - so not worth it. Overall, very safe, pretty good handling and subpar interior accommodations.

Dialing Congress: Target Offers Updates on Security Breach
Target (NYSE:TGT) offered a fresh batch of news this week on its large-scale security breach in which some 40 million credit and debit card records plus personal information of 70 million customers were stolen. The retailer has committed to keeping consumers and investors updated on the most recent findings in its ongoing investigation into the breach, and Target has stuck to its promise, sharing any good news — and even the bad.
The first new piece of information came on Wednesday when Target said that the cyber criminals who breached its system used credentials they stole from one of the retailer's vendors, as reported by Reuters. Target spokesperson Molly Snyder explained in a statement, "The ongoing forensic investigation has indicated that the intruder stole a vendor's credentials, which were used to access our system."
That statement came about two weeks after journalist Brian Krebs, the man behind the security industry blog Krebs on Security, reported that the popular management software enlisted by Target was to blame for the compromise of 40 million payment cards belonging to people who recently shopped at the retailer. According to Ars Technica, Krebs said that malware that infected Target's point-of-sale terminals was able to log in to a control server inside the Target network by using the account name "Best1_user" and the password "BackupU$r." The malware functioned by taking payment card data drawn from the terminals used in checkout lines so it could then be periodically downloaded to a difference service for permanent storage.
Krebs then offered an update to his findings Wednesday, and placed blame on the widely used server management program, BMC Software, for allowing the hack to happen. Krebs explained, "That "Best1_user" account name seems an odd one for the attackers to have picked at random, but there is a better explanation: That username is the same one that gets installed with an IT management software suite called Performance Assurance for Microsoft Servers. This product, according to its maker — Houston, Texas based BMC Software — includes administrator-level user account called Best1_user."

Our living room is well loved.
It's the TV room, kid fighting room, Xbox room & movie central.
It must be livable and adorable at the same time.
I've been slowly making some changes to it.
Nothing major and I'm not nearly done, but here's a few teasers:
- The giant white cabinet.
Shamefully, this fantastic curvy detailed upper portion
has been stored in the basement! {gasp!}
We've had this for several years. Recently, only the bottom was used as a TV stand.
We've had this for several years. Recently, only the bottom was used as a TV stand.
Coming to my senses, I brought it back upstairs and painted it white.
(the hydrangea's are dried and from my garden.)
(the hydrangea's are dried and from my garden.)
It was originally a 199o's white washed stain. The Cabinet Maker built it.
I basically had him look away as I painted it.
But hey, it had to happen.
- The Photo Collage
With moving the big cabinet up, we moved the TV to the wall where the collage was.
Plus, I thought it would look cool hung vertical w/ the 'public phones' sign added.
We actually keep the phone nearby and thought it be a clue for wayward visiting children.
It's a bit busy w/ the Fall decor, but.... Here's a quick wall shot:
- Over and OUT.
You may have spied my new 'OUT' letters above my front door in my subway sign post.
(did you miss it?)
They are deliciously vintage.
I plan to paint them black to match the front door and shabby them up.
Some arrangements I have goin' on at the moment:
The little hammers and gadgets are from my dad's garage.
I nabbed the 'hammer' flashcard for just this purpose at Junk Bonanza.
I am not a fan of the current skull theme that is en vogue at the moment.
But, I saw this book at the book sale the other day.
I thought it would be just the right kind of creepy for a Halloween display.
Happy Friday Everyone.
Rock your Weekend.
xo Jeanne.

Biggio started with the Astros as a rookie catcher in 1988 and has become the face over the team over the years, mostly as a second baseman. Soon to turn 41, Biggio signed a $5 million contract, which could be his last with Houston as he closes in on 3000 career hits. He'd be the first Astro to hit that mark and the 27th in major league history.
"I mean it's a nice thing for myself, but I want it for my family and what I really want it for is I want if for the people of the city of Houston. I think they deserve it. They deserve to have it and I'm going to do everything humanly possible that I can in order to get that for them and that would be the ultimate payback for me and my family to give back to the fans and say thank you for all your support."
Biggio is the Astros leader in most offensive categories, including hits, runs, doubles and total bases. He's one of the rare players in today's game to spend his entire career with the same club. He's played in 7 All-Star games and is the first player in major league history to make the All-Star team as a catcher and a second baseman.

10x50x more than is necessary to cut off circulation.
- If Jones' height matched his wingspan, Jones would be taller than 97% of the players in the NBA. Which is a fancy way of saying that he would be seven feet tall.

As I was talking to folks and carousing the web during the game last night, there was one common word that kept coming up.
Not only was last night fun to watch, but I'm sure it was fun to play. And it's always fun when you can snap a long losing streak to a league opponent. Also, it's fun to get a game that's not stressful every once in a while. The Illini offense got rolling early in this one and never looked back, grabbing over half of their missed shots and putting up one of their most balanced scoring attacks of the year with eight guys finding the bottom of the net.
And surely I'm not going to talk about last night without posting this…
Lots of talk on Twitter and on the DWS Postgame Show about the last time an opposing coach was thrown out of an Illini hoops game. Bob Knight was the top name that came up, but News-Gazette Sports Editor Jim Rossow comes through in the clutch and points out this game from 1997. Know of another? Leave a comment and let me know.
Rather than use a clip of Coach Groce talking about the same ol' same ol' in the postgame press conference, I'll instead bring you this whimsical sounbite where Groce details his Valentine's Day plans.
Taking a look at the prediction standings...
Railsplitter and illiniearl came up the big winners this go around. Overall, 83% of you correctly picked the Illini, but not many picked an Illini blowout, so the RSDTs were in the double digits. We had 40 pickers this game with no new faces. Overall, we had no change in the top four. Bob Patterson gets out of the basement with his first correct pick of the year, and Bwp 5p has the unfortunate distinction of being the first to reach double digit losses. Overall, we held steady this go around with 82 total pickers.
Had a lot of fun reading everyone's creative ways to refer to Purdue: Boilers, Poopdue, PU, Purdoggiedoo, Boiler boys, Pur, leakie steam pipes, Matt's Methane (coupled with John's Jock), PurWho, PUD, and the always popular Purdon't.
On to round two with Northwestern…
It's no fun to bring up, but just one month ago, the Cats showed the Illini whose state it was with a beatdown at the Hall…one of the lower points in my time watching Illini hoops. Since then, the Cats have scored a home upset over Minnesota and haven't done much else. It's looking like another NIT berth and another "Ok we hit our low standard so we'll keep Billy C for one more year" type of season in Evanston. What's worse for them is that two of their starters – Jared Swopshire and Alex Olah went down with injuries over the weekend. We know Swopshire is out for the year, and Olah might be out this Sunday. That means NU will have to go deeper into its bench than it would like, putting in guys that don't have much experience in league games and who might be outmatched in certain situations. This is just the most recent in a laundry list of injuries and setbacks that the Cats have had to deal with this year.
And of course, with home court advantage being so important in the B1G this year, you have to ask if that comes into play in Sunday's matchup at Welsh-Ryan. Well, if you're familiar with the arena, you know the answer is a resounding no. At Welsh-Ryan, there are two colors in the crowd…purple in the lower bowl and the color of the opposing team in the upper bowl. By that I mean opposing team's fans often invade Welsh Ryan, and the Illini have been the worst (best?) offenders in recent years. Plus (and I'm trying to be nice here), W-R is not much of an arena to begin with. I once went to a game there with some family members who had never been to the arena, and as we made our way to the top row of seats whose surroundings resembled a boiler room, they had looks on their faces like, "Toto, we're not at the Assembly Hall anymore." And honestly, I feel for Cats fans. Having a great facility is key to having a great program. Heck, ours here in Champaign is serviceable and we're still renovating it. But I digress…
Like the Purdue game, I'm not letting the last meeting between these two teams affect my picking. The Illini were down then…they're up now…NU is an average team…who's razor thin in depth…homecourt advantage plays no factor…hence…
MY PREDICTION: Illinois 70, Northwestern 53
I will caution you to keep an eye on NU's backdoor cut that burned the Illini so much last time. And you can also expect another low scoring affair, as NU is a low scoring team in general…and the Illini could be held down by that.
Predictions, as always, are due by tipoff on Sunday. And please continue to let me know if I miss your pick when updating the standings. Picks are coming at me from all angles, and with all the math I'm bound to miss a few. And keep in mind that this blog is designed to be causal and present a fan's take on things. So if the analysis isn't hard hitting enough…if you're lost in the pop culture references…if you're a grammar freak…then head on over here.

Thank you Tim, the applause is deafening. And now I will predict the exact score for Sundays game.............Illini..76.....Northsoutheastern 64 . Now, if all the rest of you pick one point differently , I'll be closest again an there will be a 32 way tie for second.
It was against NW at home that I got the worst score of the season this year in this enjoyable pick-um game. If we can't CRUSH them at home, how can we hope to win big away? However, this Illini TEAM has looked more tough and together as of late. I am starting to be very optimistic at their chances moving forward. Nice to see so many players involved in their recent success!
Go Illini!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I have been wrong for most of my predicitions. But hey three in the roll. May I remind you they beat Illinois the first time. We take some teams for granted, fall behind early, get shook, and it is all over. Hey team they almost beat Ohio. Close till the final two minutes..
With that is mind
Big heads 65
Pussy cats 60
Northwestern played really well against OSU last time out and they really sliced Illinois up on the backcuts. I would guess that Groce spent a good time dissecting tape and that the "revenge" theme was played a lot, but this game does worry me a bit. I'll go:
Illinois: 63
Northwestern: 64
That purdue game was great to watch. It has been a while since we've seen Illinois go out and be in control for the entire game (forget the first few minutes against Purdue.) How about that effort from our guys on the glass!? If we play with that same energy today, Northwestern doesn't stand a chance. Losing Swopshire is a big blow.
Illinois is starting to get a little swagger back. Hope Groce keeps the guys focused on winning one game at a time-we all know these guys get to feeling good about themselves and let one slip away. I'm tired of former walk-on Reggie Hearn tearing us up. As long as Northwestern doesn't shoot lights out from 3, we win. We can't get swept by our little brother, right!?
Illinois: 71
Northwestern: 56

Best of Adsense Optimization tips by Google
Optimizing adsense positions has really worked wonders for binaryday, pushing the eCPM to more than 10$. Primarily, I used optimization tips provided by Google. Here are some of the important adsense optimization tips that have worked for me. However do not just read these tips. Loginto your adsense account and start making the changes. All these changes can be effected in less than 15 minutes and you shall be surprised by the result.
The first adunit shows the ads with the highest revenue per click ads. Make sure that it is the ad unit with the highest Clcik-Through-Rate as well. Use of CSS can make it difficult to know what is the first ad unit. Visit the page from your browser and do a view source. Scroll down the html code. The first block of adsense that you see is your first ad unit. Use custom channels to check that it is the one with the highest CTR.
Size matters. Google's data says wider ad units outperform the narrow ones. What do you use?
Do you still use wordpress built in search box on your blog. Stop throwing away serious money and start usings an adsense for search box.
Site targetted ads increase the competition for your advertisement place and there by increase your earnings. Modify the default message to convert more advertisers into site-targetted advertisers for your site.
The corner of the ad uniit makes a difference. Increase your earnings by using rounded corners for your ad units.
Go Borderless
Place your adsense unit below the header of your posts and directly below the border. Removing the border between content and adsense unit can result in an increase in CTR of as much as 300%. Binaryday uses this trick to the letter
Match your ads to the content
In May 2005 google published the secret to dogbreedinfo doubling its income to more than $650 a day. The simple tip that doubled the earning was use unobtrusive advertisements. It is not like for nothing that all adsense Guru suggest this as the first tip.
Way back in January 2006, Google published this simple but effective optimization tip for blogs. To get the best results from adsense, you should choose the right ad format for your blog and then place it at a place, where people will see it. Also make sure to use section targetting to get ads targetted to the specific post.

Wild Style
I went to Melrose the other day for the first time in a long time. (I have not excuse, living so close, but I just HATE finding parking!!) I happened upon Joyrich and was astounded by their new collaboration with Gerlan Jeans! I'm in loooovvveee!! If they had my size, I would've shelled out the moolah for a pencil print dress! (So I guess it's good they didn't have my size? haha) Across the street is a great store called Wild Style that Joyrich opened at the end of last year. It's like a giant store of my dream closet! Super funky and crazy clothes that most people wouldn't dare wear. This outfit today is slightly inspired by this funky style, although it'd definitely not even close to being completely bizarre.
Neon Yellow Mesh Crop Top from & Thigh High Socks American Apparel | Red Beanie & Patterned Shorts from Japan | Plaid Jeffrey Campbell Wedges from Ashbury Skies | Necklaces from Number A & Topshop
Simply Bold
Sometimes the simplest outfit can be the boldest statement. It's been scorching hot lately and so I just felt like lounging in my super comfy chiffon dress. If some of you have been following my blog for awhile, you may recognize this dress 'cause I have it in bright yellow too! I feel like the blue and yellow are the least popular colors but they're the most fun… so why is that?! Without a belt, the silhouette is free flowing and super relaxed. And since the dress is so plain I paired it with a bold statement necklace and some hand accessories to finish off the look. =)
Blue Chiffon Dress from American Apparel / Chain Cross Necklace from Number A / Fringe Bag from Akira Chicago / Black Wedges from Urban Outfitters
Why not Blue?
Today I'm trying out OCC Lip Tars for the first time! I love all the colors they offer and I've decided I wanted to be more colorful with my lip colors! Why not wear blue lips?! It's so fun and it's a great kick of color for my outfit! Loving the cutout shoulders on my dress, and in general this season!
Floral Dress from Urban Outfitters / Gold CC Skye Bracelet from Revolve Clothing / Yellow Bracelet from JC Penny / Gold House of Harlow Rings from Revolve Clothing / Silver Spike Two Finger Ring from Number A Boutique / Black Cooperative Wedges from Urban Outfitters
Down to the Shoelaces
Hello hello hello! This was a look I wore on Friday but I was completely lazy about uploading it since I had a heck of a weekend! I hope you guys don't mind that I don't usually post on the weekend since I'm usually just in my PJs lazying around haha. If it weren't for workdays who knows what I would look like?! O__O So this is just a simple chiffon shirt that I love to match with with my black shoes with the same exact colored chiffon shoelaces! Haha, well they're both from American Apparel so that's how they match so perfectly ^__^
By the way, if you guys haven't seen 5 Year Engagment, I suggest you do! It was hilarious!!! Especially the Spanish love song part! You will know what I mean once you see it ;)
Shawl-like Black/White Speckled Cardigan, Chiffon Shirt, Riding Pants, Black Shoes from American Apparel / Rings from Number A Boutique and 8 Limbs / Jeweled Collar from Chicwish
Uh oh, I'm sort of getting this punk vibe in my soul. Had to test it out a little today. I ordered some studs over the weekend to start studding some things as well. THINGS ARE GUNNA GET CRAZY! Haha. So anyways, today's funky outfit includes so many amazing new additions to my closet! The zombie shirt and the new rings are from Number A Boutique again. Went there for my "birthday weekend" since my boyfriend got me a gift certificate there! =) Sunday we went to DISNEYLAND!!! But that's besides the point… these new jeans from ASOS are so rad, I was worried they weren't going to fit but they fit PERFECTLY and I love them so much more in person than I thought I would! The perfect ending to this outfit was of course, a jean jacket, but I had to take it off to show you the zombie shirt ;)
Jean Jacket from Urban Outfitters / Zombie Crop Top from Number A Boutique / Leopard Jeans from ASOS / Leather Belt from American Apparel / Necklace from Number A Boutique / Studded Two-Finger Ring & Brown Stone Ring from Number A Boutique / Fork Ring from 8 Limbs / Friendship Bracelets from Target / Leather Wrap Bracelet from H&M / Black Wedges from Urban Outfitters

Snow starts to pile upStaff Report | December 27,2012Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
A worker clears a sidewalk in Manchester after an overnight snow dump.It has been 658 days since Vermonters have seen more than 6 inches of snow fall from one storm and the storm today will continue to fall well into the night, according to meteorologists in Burlington.
Eric Evenson with the National Weather Service said they are expecting the storm to continue to accumulate snow throughout Thursday before tapering off during the morning hours Friday. There might be some snow small showers on Friday, but it will not account to much.
"It started in southern Vermont around midnight (Thursday) and then moved across the state in the evening hours," he said Thursday morning. "It's pretty much snowing across Vermont right now. It's going to continue throughout the day."
As of 9 a.m., the Northeast Kingdom has accumulated the least amount of snow — about 1.5 inches — but up to 12 inches is expected by the end of the storm. Evenson said the majority of the state has accumulated somewhere between 3 to 7 inches.
Snow reports show about 3 inches in Rutland, 5 inches in Northfield, 6.5 inches in Goshen, 2.9 inches in Hyde Park, 5 inches in Springfield, 5.5 inches in Ludlow and 7.0 inches in Jay Peak.MORE IN News

Calefax: Garden of Earthly Delights(Le) Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street, New York, NY) Map it
Calefax: Garden of Earthly Delights
The world-famous painting Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch is the starting point for this concert programme. The themes of Paradise, Delight and the Final Judgment are brought to life musically. A video of the painting is projected on a giant transparent globe. In this way Calefax zooms in on the painting of Bosch, not only musically but also visually.
Calefax takes the audience on an aural and visual journey through the Garden of Earthly Delights, from the earthly paradise, via the sinful life full of lust and pleasure, into the darkness. The different panels of the painting are echoed in musical sets. The programme consists of contemporary music by the Dutch composer Jacob TV and the German composer Carola Bauckholt, as well as compositions from the era of Hieronymus Bosch. The many birds in the painting form a leitmotiv across the programme. They are brought to life by the music of Rameau and Bauckholt.
Calefax tells the story of the Garden of Earthly Delights, by means of a special range of musical compositions, combined with video projection on a giant globe. The video zooms in on the triptych in a spectacular way, showing details of the painting that normally escape the attention of the spectator. From the fairylike paradise depicted in the left panel, through the bizarre and often erotic images on the middle panel, to the dark and terrifying scenes of the right panel.

With its based-on-the-director's-life pedigree and stars Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana, "Infinitely Polar Bear"—horrible title aside—sounds like many Sundance films past and present: a family struggles with mental illness, trying to keep one person whole while also keeping—or failing to keep—the family together. And after writing such good-to-indifferent big Hollywood product like "The Rocker," "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days," you can hardly fault writer-director Maya Forbes for trying to create something a little more substantive and a little less glib. And yet, even based on her experiences, "Infinitely Polar Bear" is so phony that you can imagine the production budget being made up of three-dollar bills; it treats severe mental illness as a series of quirky, fun-sy tics; the circumstances of its characters are tortuously contrived; and every child character seems not like a real, living child but rather a 40-year-old with a sparkling wit who's been struck by a shrink ray.
Set in 1978, the film begins with a family; dad Cam Stuart (Mark Ruffalo) is telling his daughters Amelia (Imogene Wolarski) and Faith (Ashley Aufderheide) that they don't have to go to school. He got fired, so they can pick mushrooms and explore the forest and join him in his freedom. His wife Maggie (Zoe Saldana), unnerved by Cam's mania, locks herself and the kids in the car while Cam bicycles around the cold fall field in a matching red speedo and headband. And while seizing on this one detail is picayune, it's worth noting that the degree of design and effort that went into that moment is actually what ruins it. Mental illness is a lot of things, but puckishly color-coordinated is not one of them.
After a stay in an institution and a halfway house, with Maggie and the kids having moved to the city, Cam comes back just in time for Maggie to leave; in a last-ditch attempt to change the family's circumstances, she's applied for a Columbia MBA, and gotten in on a scholarship. If she pushes it, she can be done in 18 months, and she'll come back every weekend. Cam will have to take care of the kids and himself, neither of which he's especially qualified to do. Cam comes from a long line of well-to-do Boston blue-bloods, but the family matriarch who controls the funds won't give Cam the money to get the kids to a better school—even though she pays his rent—in a bit of hair-splitting that seems solely to help the thin plotting stay propped up.
And this then might be the problem with "Infinitely Polar Bear" at heart; in her director's notes, Forbes explains how all of the above—manic father, long-distance business school mother, a wealthy family's weird ethics about work and effort—were part and parcel of her own life. In life, the truth is in itself enough; on the movie screen, however, the truth must also be plausible, and Forbes' script simply cannot make the things she lived through alive for us in anything but the most glib, shallow and contrived way.
Performers Ruffalo and Saldana are both charismatic and easy to watch, but their performances feel both shallow and showy, underdone and overblown. Ruffalo is the manic pixie dream guy here—living and tender, brash and loud, demonstrative and friendly to a very real fault. Compared to some other honest and heartfelt performances of mental illness in even other Indie and Sundance films—Damian Lewis in "Keane," perhaps, or Peter Greene in "Clean, Shaven," both by Lodge Kerrigan—Ruffalo makes manic depression look huggable and snuggly, not the terrifying thing it actually is for its victims and those around them. Saldana gets to play dress-up (her job interview ensemble is so Faye Dunaway, it's hilarious) and emote, but she can't make us believe in her or her choices. And as for Wolarski (Forbes' own daughter) and Aufderheide, well, these are very young people, so let it simply be said that the fault in their performances is not theirs, but rather the script's.
Again, this is Forbes' life and this is her version of her memories—but even so, you have to think there's a little too much misty water-coloring going on here and not enough of the stark black-and-white realities of family, child raising, mental illness or all of the other concerns (race, gender politics) that Forbes touches upon lightly, if at all, before getting back to yet another scene of Ruffalo being cute until he's scary until he's cute again and Saldana being tormented by her tough choices. "Infinitely Polar Bear" is a classic example of a major fatal flaw in filmmaking: failing to make sure your movie actually deals with what it's actually about. Even with being drawn from life, "Infinitely Polar Bear" feels less like a portrait and more like a cartoon. [D+]

I can't believe what I'm reading. Out of the 25 films I saw at the festival, Infinitely Polar Bear was easily one of the highlights and the best US Dramatic contender (disclosure- the only others I saw in this category were: Life After Beth, Whiplash, Kumiko the Treasure Hunter, The Skeleton Twins and Camp X-Ray). There was a few issues with the pacing and narrative, but those performances were all amazing - especially the children. I know it's terrible thing to say so early (borderline sinful perhaps?) but I'm calling an Oscar nom for Ruffalo here. It's the perfect kind of material that does well with voters and easily the best performance of his career.

""Infinitely Polar Bear"âhorrible title asideâ"
When Maya Flores and her sister took their father to the hospital after he suffered a manic episode, one of the forms asked for his diagnosis (bipolar, schizophrenic, etc.). Instead of checking bipolar, he checked other and wrote infinitely polar bear. So there's that..
tom | January 20, 2014 2:11 PM
Couldn't be more wrong. One of the best movies of the festival thus far.

I'm all for reviewers being open and honest about their views and good films sometimes get bad reviews and readers can sort them out. But this review is so mean spirited and inaccurate you have to think the reviewer is either dealing with his own mommy daddy issues or has a hidden agenda. I was at Eccles for the premiere. This film was deeply and at times painfully moving. There was a rare electricity in the theater as we laughed and often cried together. When the film ended nearly everyone immediately jumped to their feet for a thunderous and emotional applause. This film was beautifully shot, funny and warm. It was a triumph of what you can do on a tiny independent film budget. To attack the film as phony and forgettable is trite and unfair. For most who saw it the opposite is true. The attacks on the actors, in particular the child actors are completely out of line. Indie wire should consider the motivations behind this review, and reconsider its employment of the writer.

That is the way I felt about the overrated performances in American Hustle .

U.S. Army Europe and 7th Army: A Model of Strategic Flexibility
(National Security Watch 08-2, 23 June 2008) discusses the new changes and challenges the command is undergoing during its sixth decade of service to the United States. Since its inception during World War II and vital role in Europe during the Cold War, USAREUR has continuously transformed to meet the defense needs of the U.S. military. The shift in security concerns for the U.S. government since the Cold War has resulted in a concurrent shift in mission for the command. USAREUR missions have included operations in the Balkans, Bulgaria and Romania. USAREUR has also played an essential supporting role in the war on terrorism, with operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Currently, USAREUR is currently undergoing its largest transformational effort to date.
U.S. Africa Command: A New Way of Thinking
(National Security Watch, 13 March 2008) discusses the establishment of AFRICOM, which provides the United States an opportunity to rearrange its current military orientation on the continent, address traditional and developing issues for U.S. security in Africa, and provide security and development assistance for 53 African countries. The primary mission for AFRICOM, created in October 2007, is to promote U.S. national security objectives by working with African states and regional organizations to strengthen stability and security on the African continent. The primary purpose of AFRICOM is to serve as a supporting structure to already existing U.S. and international programs in Africa. AFRICOM hopes to provide support to Africans to build democratic institutions and establish good governance, while focusing on tasks such as peacekeeping, security, counterterrorism, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
The Korean Peninsula and the Future of Eighth U.S. Army
(National Security Watch, 26 September 2007) discusses the U.S. role on the Korean Peninsula and the future of Eighth U.S. Army in Korea. For more than half a century, the United States has remained committed to helping South Korea defend itself against external aggression. North Korean nuclear weapons and missile technology make it more dangerous today than ever before.
U.S. Army North/5th Army: Building Relationships to Defend the Homeland and Meet Emerging Regional Challenges
(National Security Watch 07-1, 15 February 2007, PDF 709K) discusses U.S. Army North/5th Army (USARNORTH) and its area or operations, including the continental United States, Alaska, Canada and Mexico. The United States must protect and defend its citizens against disasters—whether manmade or natural—on its soil. In a globalized world, nations have been forced to redefine their concept of security, looking beyond traditional military threats to the growing threats posed by unstable political, economic and social environments. USARNORTH is charged with Army homeland defense and civil support operations and army-to-army theater security cooperation with Canada and Mexico in order to "protect the American people and their way of life.
U.S. Army South and the Transition to 6th Army: Rising to Face New Challenges in Central and South America and the Caribbean
(PDF, 714K, National Security Watch 06-5, 1 December 2006) describes 6th's Army's role in the Army's reorganization from threat- to capabilities-based command structures. Given the history of U.S. involvement in the region, the United States should devote some attention and resources to strained relationships in Latin America, particularly to the issues of counternarcotics, immigration and respect for democratically elected regimes. 6th Army will play a vital role in achieving U.S. policy objectives in Central and South America and the Caribbean, including economic stability and cooperation on multinational security and humanitarian operations
The Army in U.S. Strategic Command: Thinking Globally, Acting Jointly
(PDF, 779K, National Security Watch 06-6, 1 December 2006) briefly analyzes STRATCOM's organization, capabilities and goals as a critical component to U.S. defense. STRATCOM is the chief unified command for both space operations and strategic threat management for the entire military. It encompasses Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) and Army Forces Strategic Command (ARSTRAT), making the Army a full, joint partner in space operations and providing capabilities not found in other services.
"Natural Allies" in an Uncertain World: The United States and India
(PDF 221K, National Security Watch 06-4, 1 September 2006) Examines the history of and the issues facing the often tenuous U.S.-Indian relationship: terrorism, Pakistan and Kashmir, nuclear proliferation, trade, energy security and the rise of China. India is a strong, democratic country in the critical and often dangerous neighborhood of South Asia, but despite sharing the same democratic values as the United States, relations have been strained for almost 60 years. However, because of the overlap in U.S. and Indian interests, strong bilateral relations in recent years have provided the United States the possibility of a partner in addressing global challenges.
The Cruise Missile Threat: Prospects for Homeland Defense
(PDF 240K, National Security Watch 06-3, 1 June 2006) analyzes the cruise missile threat and the Defense Department's plans to protect the United States from these dangerous weapons. With the advent of more easily attainable missile guidance and weapons technology, a wide variety of potential adversaries can now buy or build a cruise missile. The threat of an attack is ever more plausible and the necessity for a coherent defense is increasingly urgent. However, cruise missile defense must be more than a DoD function; it must be an integrated combination of active defense and offensive efforts, and senior leaders must move expeditiously to provide all necessary resources, especially funding, as quickly as possible.
Future Logistics Themes: Discovering Innovative Solutions to Army Logistics Processes for Moving and Sustaining Combat Power
(PDF 223K, National Security Watch 06-2, 1 May 2006) Briefly examines the future of Army logistics. Shaping a long-term vision for Army logistics requires identifying and preparing to leverage critical research advancements that will profoundly affect Army logistics in future joint operational environments. Knowledge of anticipated developments in scientific, engineering and technology disciplines will generate innovative solutions to logistical challenges. Insights gained and products developed from advances in the application of knowledge, energy and materials science will provide significant benefits to Army and joint logistics in the decades to come.
Military Compensation: Balancing Fairness and Sustainability
(PDF 189K, by Cathleen McCracken. National Security Watch 06-1, 7 February 2006) briefly examines the issues being discussed by the Defense Advisory Committee on Military Compensation (DACMC), a panel of civilian experts in the field of pay, chartered by Secretary Rumsfeld. The panel will make recommendations to the drafters of the Tenth Quadrennial Review of Military Compensation (QRMC), mandated every four years by title 37, United States Code. The QRMC is a complete review of military compensation, with particular emphasis on retirement benefits, health care, special and incentive pays, quality of life and reserve component compensation.
A New Look at Requirements: The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System
( PDF 180K, by Courtney Wirwahn, National Security Watch 04-1, 20 October 2004) Takes a look at JCIDS, which replaces the Requirements Generation System as a new tool to jointly identify needed future concepts for the armed services and provide integrated and interoperable capabilities that work across the services.
Homeland Security and Homeland Defense: Protection from the Inside Out
( PDF 181K, by Courtney Wirwahn, National Security Watch 03-3, 31 October 2003) Examines the roles of U.S. Northern Command, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and local first responders in securing and defending our nation -- and the need to transform current processes and responsibilities to facilitate effective, efficient Army involvement in the homeland defense mission.
The 2002 Unified Command Plan: Changes and Implications
( PDF 621K, by Peter Gillette, National Security Watch 03-2, 21 February 2003) The 2002 UCP shifted emphasis from regional theaters to strategic global functions. The Army's place in the plan appears to be shifting as well.
Department of Homeland Security: Pros, Cons and Opportunities
( PDF 58K, by Peter Gillette, National Security Watch 03-1, 31 January 2003) Discusses the new Department of Homeland Security's organization, its missions and the Army's role in homeland security.

Heroic teens tried to save man who drowned in Thames between Hampton and Molesey
Updated 3:55pm Friday 2nd August 2013 in News By Laura Proto, Chief Reporter
Two teenagers from West Molesey fought desperately to save a stranger from drowning after he got into trouble in the Thames last night.
Jack Sweeney, a pupil at Rydens Enterprise School, and Pete Sullivan, an Esher Church of England High School pupil, swam across to help the man, who is thought to be in his 20s, after he went under the water and did not resurface.
The teenagers, both 15, were sitting with friends in Hurst Park when they noticed a man who appeared to be stumbling and a woman walking along the pathway.
Having missed the last ferry from Molesey to Hampton, the friends said they heard the woman say the only way across was to swim.
Pete said: "We noticed him about half way across when he was struggling. Me and Jack started getting ready to jump in just in case anything happened.
"We saw him going up and down in the water until he didn't come up for about five seconds, so we jumped in. By the time we got there he was probably down at the bottom of the river bed."
The teenagers said while they were doing a "systematic sweep" of the river, the woman then began swimming across to try to save the man and was screaming "Oh my god, he's dead".
The friends searched the river for about half an hour and continued when emergency services arrived, despite police telling them to stop and get out of the river.
Pete said he knew they were not going to find the man due to the size of the river and said "he could have been anywhere".
The river is thought to be only two metres deep where the man drowned.
Jack said: "We didn't really think about ourselves. It didn't even come in to my mind."
Although the boys came away with no physical injuries, they are still shocked and shaken by what they saw.
Pete said: "You can't get that out of your mind because we watched someone die. When you're 15, seeing someone die is not what you want to do."
Jack said: "We used to come to the river and think of the memories of all the good times and now we think about the man that drowned."
Although the boys are being named as local heroes, they said they were not doing it for the fame.
Jack said: "It's not about the glory. Don't give respect to us, give respect to the person who died."
Pete, who used to be an army cadet, said they acted because it was "the right thing to do" and they would act in the same way again.
The friends said seeing a man drown in the river in front of them has made them reconsider their own habits when using the river.
Both boys said they were praised and supported by the families for their acts of bravery.

Noting that more than 45,000 Rhode Island college graduates would face higher costs because of a scheduled doubling of the interest rate on student loans, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed on May 1 told current students at Roger Williams University that he is working to avoid the hike.
"They rely upon this need-based financial aid in order to make it through school, and we are at a moment in history where we need all the talent and all the educated men and women that we can muster," Reed said in a speech at the Global Heritage Hall Atrium just before noon. "The reality is that, students today are graduating with tremendous debt. It's not only affecting us from an educational standpoint, but from a macroeconomic standpoint."
Reed explained that he is working with Senate colleagues to pass a bill that would freeze the interest rate for two years to avoid the July 1 increase and to give Congress time "to work out a long-term solution."
Two graduating students, Bre'Anna Jolaine Mitts-Nixon and Adam Semple, Political Science Professor June Speakman, and RWU President Donald J. Farish joined Reed in talking about the potential impact of the interest rate hike, from 3.4 to 6.8 percent.
Check out the accompanying video from Reed's visit to Roger Williams University.
