OUCH, wicked ovulation cramps....help

OK, so what can you take.

Please be careful. Have you called your doctor? I don't know if you can hyperstim on femora (I'm sure that is wrong, but for the life of me I can't remember the right name!) but if you can you MUST call your doctor right away. If it is just ovulation pain then hopefully this one pays off with twins! :-) I had ovulation type pains this month and I don't ever remember having them before, so maybe this will be the month for both of us, that would be sweet! Take care of yourself, drink lots and rest as much as you can. ((((Hugs))))

SOMALIA: Puntland seizes alcohol stash in Galkayo
BOSASSO — Police in Somalia's semi-autonomous region of Puntland have seized more than 150 bottles of alcoholic drinks that smugglers were seeking to bring into its region.
Police operations in the central town of Galkayo netted several people over the banned substance during raids in the last two days according to local sources.
Government officials said they also arrested others in connection with security operations. They added they will stand trial in a criminal court in the coming days.
Puntland officials said alcohol usage in major towns was on the rise and most of the alcohol has been smuggled in from neighbouring Kenya and Ethiopia.
Recently similar raids were carried out in the port town of Bosasso.
The consumption of alcohol is strictly forbidden throughout Somalia, where the people are entirely of Muslim population. Every year police announce alcohol seizures.

NTSB Identification:
Accident occurred Sunday, March 14, 2004 in San Felipe, Mexico
Aircraft: Cessna 180K, registration: N61576
Injuries: 2 Uninjured.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. The foreign authority was the source of this information.
On March 14, 2004, at 1450 pacific standard time, a Cessna 180K tailwheel-equipped airplane, N61576, was substantially damaged during a precautionary landing following a partial loss of engine power while in cruise flight near San Felipe, State of Baja California, in the Republic of Mexico. The airline transport pilot and his passenger were not injured. The airplane, serial number 180-52782, was owned and operated by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed throughout the area for the personal flight for which a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan was filed. The flight departed from San Felipe, Mexico, at 1430, with a planned destination of Calexico, California.
Local authorities reported that the pilot reported a rough running engine during cruise flight at 2,500 feet, and elected to execute a precautionary landing on a salt flat. The pilot reported that after about a 400 foot rollout, the main landing gears sank into the soft ground and the airplane nosed-over, coming to rest in the inverted position. The reason for the rough running engine could not be determined following the recovery of the airplane.
The accident investigation is under the control and jurisdiction of the Government of Republic of Mexico. Any further information may be obtained from:

ARCADIA, Fla. - A former Arcadia police officer accused of lying on police affidavits is under the microscope again. This time his name is at the center of allegations of police brutality.
A mugshot shows James South just after he was arrested on September 11, 2006.
South says Arcadia police pulled him over for a broken tag light and told him he was under arrest.
"I thought at first they were joking. And i didn't recognize the cop at all. Because I know a lot of the cops and I thought maybe he's just pulling my chain," South told CALL FOR ACTION.
South says the officer wasn't joking and pulled him out of the car.
South filed a lawsuit in Desoto County court. It says that officer was Deighton Bolt - a officer CALL FOR ACTION first told you about last year. Bolt admitted during a deposition he had repeatedly lied on police reports. Now he and two other officers are facing allegations of police brutality.
"I remember being maced a few times punched in the face. Repeatedly," said South.
South was on the phone with his father, Tom South. "The next thing I hear is slamming and hitting and my son screaming someone is trying to kill him. It freaked me out," said the elder South, "His face was all swelled up. His eyes were almost completely closed. When I looked through the police car where he was out. It looked like he was knocked out."
James South described his injuries, "I had a concussion. Like I said I didn't get the mace and the contacts out. It was like six months before I could wear contacts again."
Now the Souths have filed a personal injury lawsuit against Bolt and two other members of the Arcadia Police Department.
James says he's still paying physically and mentally from the incident.
"I still barely want to go anywhere and drive anywhere. It's embarrassing. It's just traumatic. Being through it you never know. They threaten to take away your livelihood if you don't do what they want."
We repeatedly called the Arcadia Police Department for comment. Marshal Lee did not return our calls.
We do know Deighton Bolt is no longer employed with the Arcadia Police Department. He resigned his position.

"Hi, I'm Taylor. I love the number 13. I was born in December on a Christmas tree farm. I like imagining what life was like hundreds of years ago. I have blurry eyesight. My favorite thing in life is writing about life, specifically the parts of life concerning love. Because, as far as I'm concerned, love is absolutely everything. I'm easily excited, thrilled, scared, and shocked. I'm 24 now, but I never stopped jumping up and down when something wonderful happens. My biggest fear is getting bad news."

Maeve Binchy imagined a street in Dublin with many characters coming and going, and every once in a while she would write about one of these people. She would then put it in a drawer; "for the future," she would say. The future is now.
Across town from St. Jarlath's Crescent, featured in Minding Frankie, is Chestnut Street, where neighbors come and go. Behind their closed doors we encounter very different people with different life circumstances, occupations, and sensibilities. Some of the unforgettable characters lovingly brought to life by Binchy are Bucket Maguire, the window cleaner, who must do more than he bargained for to protect his son; Nessa Byrne, whose aunt visits from America every summer and turns the house--and Nessa's world--upside down; Lilian, the generous girl with the big heart and a fiancé whom no one approves of; Melly, whose gossip about the neighbors helps Madame Magic, a self-styled fortune-teller, get everyone on the right track; Dolly, who discovers more about her perfect mother than she ever wanted to know; and Molly, who learns the cure for sleeplessness from her pen pal from Chicago . . .
Chestnut Street is written with the humor and understanding that are earmarks of Maeve Binchy's extraordinary work and, once again, she warms our hearts with her storytelling.
This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.
From the book
Dolly's Mother
It was all the harder because her mother had been so beautiful. If only Dolly's mother had been a round, bunlike woman, or a small wrinkled person, it might have been easier for Dolly, this business of growing up. But no, there were no consolations on that score. Mother was tall and willowy and had a smile that made other people smile too and a laugh that caused strangers to look up with pleasure. Mother always knew what to say and said it; Mother wore long lilac silk scarves so elegantly they seemed to flow with her when she walked. If Dolly tried to wear a scarf, either it looked like a bandage or else she got mistaken for a football fan. If you were square and solid and without color or grace, it was sometimes easy to hate Mother.
But only for a moment, and not real hate. Nobody could hate Mother, and certainly not the dumpy daughter that Mother treated like a princess. She always spoke of Dolly's fine points. Her lovely deep--green eyes. People will get lost in those eyes, Mother had said. Dolly doubted it---there was precious little sign of anyone looking into them for long enough to realize that they were green, let alone run the risk of sinking hopelessly into their depths. Mother always called on Father to admire Dolly's wonderful texture of hair. "Look," Mother would say excitedly. "Look at how thick it is and how healthy it is; we may well see the shampoo companies begging Doll to do advertisements for them." Father would look obediently and with some mild surprise as if he had been called to see a kingfisher that had just disappeared. He would nod eagerly to please his wife and daughter. Oh, yes, he would agree. A fine shock of hair, all right, no molting there.
Dolly would examine her dull brown hair without pleasure. The only thing to be said in its favor was that there was a lot of it. And that was what Mother had unerringly been able to identify and fasten on in her extravagant compliments.
All the girls at school loved Dolly's mother---she was so friendly they said, so interested in them. She remembered all their names. They loved coming round to the house on Chestnut Street on Saturday afternoons. Dolly's mother used to let them play with her old makeup. Ends of lipsticks, little, nearly empty pots of eye shadow, compacts almost worn away by dabbing. There was a big mirror with a good light where they could practice; all Dolly's mother insisted was that every trace of it be removed with cold cream and tissues before they went home. She managed to make them believe that this was what kept the skin healthy and fresh, and Dolly's friends enjoyed the cleansing almost as much as they had liked the painting of their young faces.
Dolly's friends. Were they really friends, she often wondered, or did they just like her because of Mother? At school they didn't make much of her. After class Dolly often sat alone while others went off arm in arm. She was never the center of any laughing crowd in the playground, nobody chose her to go shopping after school, she was usually one of the last to be picked for any team. Even poor Olive, who was fat and had thick, whirly round spectacles, often got picked before Dolly. If it hadn't been for Mother she might have sunk without trace in that school. She should be very, very grateful that, unlike almost everyone else around her, she had a parent who was universally approved and liked. She should be grateful, and she usually was. She was happiest playing with her cat.
Mother always baked a funny cake for the sale of work, not a big showy one that would embarrass you or a little mean one that would make you feel...

45. Terry Barr, WR, 1957-1965
Terry Barr was a member of the Detroit Lions from 1957 until 1965. During the era when running the ball was first priority, Barr managed to still put up big numbers, even by todays standards.
The Lions selected Barr in the third round of the 1957 NFL Draft. In his rookie season, he played in the NFL Championship Game. In Detroit's 59–14 win over Cleveland, Barr intercepted a pass and returned it 19 yards for a score. Currently, he ranks eleventh on the Lions all-time receiving list with 227 receptions, 3,810 yards and 35 touchdowns catches. He was selected to two Pro Bowls in his NFL career.
Barr attended Central High School and played in the Grand Rapids City League. He is a member of the Grand Rapids, and Michigan Sports Halls of Fame. Barr died on 28 May 2009 after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Following his passing, Lions President, Tom Lewand had this to say of Barr:
"Terry Barr was a true gentleman, not only was he an outstanding player throughout his career with the Lions, University of Michigan, and Grand Rapids Central, but he was a genuinely kind and endearing man. Anyone who had the honor of knowing Terry loved him."
"I don't think Terry ever dropped a ball," said fellow Lions receiver Gail Cogdill. "My kids just loved him. I loved him. He had great speed and was a class man and leader."
Barr retired after the 1965 season and went into business.
In 1982, Barr was reported to be a potential buyer of the Detroit Red Wings franchise of the National Hockey League alongside former teammates Joe Schmidt and Nick Pietrosante. The team was eventually sold that year to Mike Ilitch.
In addition to being a great Lions receiver, Barr was one of the more notable characters in George Plimpton's classic Paper Lion (hence the choice of footage here).

2/6 June 28 day-night twinbill
Mark your calendars: The June 29 Cubs game against the Nationals now will be part of a day-night doubleheader on June 28. It will be a separate admission, day-night doubleheader. The change was made at the request of Ald. Tom Tunney and in consideration of neighborhood traffic and congestion in connection with the annual Pride Parade in Chicago on June 29.
The first game of the doubleheader will be played at 12:05 p.m. CT, and the second game was scheduled to start at 6:15 p.m. CT. There will be no game Sunday, June 29.
The last time the Cubs had a day-night doubleheader on their schedule was July 4, 1983, against the Expos.

12/10 Trade rumors
According to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post, talks are over between the Cubs and Nationals regarding a possible trade in which Chicago would get either reliever Tyler Clippard or Drew Storen. The Cubs are looking for bullpen help and a possible closer. Storen, 26, had that role. Kilgore reports that Nationals GM Mike Rizzo would need to have his "socks knocked off" to move either reliever.
12/9 Bullpen help
The Cubs are looking for bullpen help and one name they are believed to be interested in is Nationals' right-hander Drew Storen. In four seasons with the Nats, the right-hander has a 3.40 ERA in 232 games. Last season, he appeared in 68 games, finished 20, and averaged 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings. Storen, 26, was a first-round pick in 2009, and is arbitration eligible for the first time. His best season was 2011 when he totaled 43 saves and posted a 2.75 ERA over 75 1/3 innings. The Nationals are interested in finding some help for the bench and looking for a young, versatile player in return.
The Cubs are looking for a closer. So far this season, they've added lefty Wesley Wright to the bullpen, although that deal has not been officially announced. Wright still needed to take a physical to complete the deal.
– Carrie Muskat
11/24 Samardzija rumors
Jeff Samardzija struck out 200 over 200 innings in his first full season as a starter, and has drawn interest from teams looking for a young pitcher, especially one who would be under team control for two more years. The Diamondbacks, Nationals and Blue Jays have reportedly inquired about Samardzija and on Sunday, there was a report that Toronto was putting together a package of young players for the Cubs right-hander.
During an interview on MLB Radio on Sunday, Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos was asked if there was any truth to the rumor about the Blue Jays pursuing Samardzija.
"You know what, I just saw that [rumor], too," Anthropoulos told MLB Radio. "I'm in the office [Sunday] just going through some things. I'm going to try to be a little more candid than I may have been in the past. I won't comment on specific rumors and things like that but I will say that we're definitely exploring starters with teams. But also, just like a lot of stuff that's out there that is false, we have not made an offer to anybody with respect to a starter. So if there is something out there that [says] we've actually made an offer to someone for a starter, that is not accurate. It doesn't mean we're not inquiring."
MLB Radio host Jim Duquette asked if anything was imminent regarding either adding a free agent or making a trade.
"You know what, we're talking to one club about a smaller trade and maybe it'll move the next few days, or maybe it won't happen," Anthropoulos said. "But, no, I don't think, not right now there isn't anything imminent. We're not necessarily waiting on someone to get back to us but, again, at any time that can change and I hope it does. I think, and you guys both went through it, before the Thanksgiving holiday sometimes there's that last little push [when] teams want to get some things off their plate. So maybe things happen here in the next two or three days. If not, we'll take it to the [Winter Meetings], I guess, at that point."
The Cubs have approached Samardzija, 28, about a possible contract extension. The pitcher, who was the Opening Day starter this year, has not been in a hurry to something done.
"I have two more years of arbitration so there is a lot of time to get something done," Samardzija said in early November.
As for all the rumors, GM Jed Hoyer said Samardzija had the right attitude because he doesn't pay any attention to the reports.
Teams shopping for starting pitching may be comparing the cost of acquiring Samardzija with another 28-year-old, David Price, who also is under team control for two more years. However, Price has more innings and experience as a starter, and won the AL Cy Young in 2012 when he went 20-5 with a 2.56 ERA for the Rays. Price did miss time this season because of a left triceps strain. Samardzija, who ranked fifth in the National League in strikeouts per nine innings, has been healthy. Price was paid $10 million in 2013; Samardzija $2.6 million.
The Cubs don't have that much depth pitching-wise, with Travis Wood, Edwin Jackson, Jake Arrieta set for the rotation in 2014.
– Carrie Muskat
2/12 Jackson: "I was a peacemaker"
Edwin Jackson is now a member of the Cubs, not fighting them as he did last Sept. 6. On that day, benches cleared in the game between the Cubs and Nationals after Chicago's Lendy Castillo threw inside to Bryce Harper. Where was Jackson during the fight?
"I wasn't a negotiator," Jackson said Tuesday, "but I was kind of right there."
Video replays show Jackson charging out of the dugout along with his teammates and needing to be restrained by Washington bench coach Randy Knorr.
"I was a peacemaker, but I was right there," Jackson said. "Somehow I end up in the middle regardless of whether I'm doing anything or not. I can just be standing around, just watching everyone and observing and oh, like, 'Oh man, I'm in the middle.'"
The television cameras caught Jackson yelling from the sidelines and the Nationals broadcasters said the pitcher was "still hot" after the players had been separated. Jackson said he didn't recall specifics.
"I was just standing around, watching what was going on," he said.
Cubs catcher Steve Clevenger was fined and suspended one game after the incident. On Wednesday, Clevenger caught Jackson's bullpen session without incident.
"We've talked," Clevenger said. "He's a good guy."

9/6 Cubs vs. Nationals
The Cubs will be happy to leave Washington D.C. after Thursday's series finale against the Nationals. This has not been fun. The Cubs have been out-hit, 61-40, out-scored 34-16, out-homered, 16-2, and outplayed in the six games so far. On Wednesday, the Nats hit six home runs for the second straight night, and, according to Elias Sports Bureau, became the third team in Major League history to do so.
"That's just men playing against boys right now," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
Sveum didn't get to watch the end of Wednesday's game from the dugout. With one out and a 1-0 count to Michael Morse in the Nationals' fifth, Sveum was ejected by home plate umpire Larry Vanover.
"I just didn't appreciate him eyeballing our dugout for absolutely no reason at all," Sveum said. "I just don't think that's right when you're looking in our dugout for no apparent reason at all."
Welington Castillo had complained about a called third strike in the Cubs fifth, which may have prompted Vanover to keep an eye on the dugout.
The Cubs are batting .207 against the Nationals so far, and Justin Germano takes the mound Thursday. It's been tough for the young players.
"Hopefully, they have the thick skin to handle what they are going through," Sveum said. "It's not that fun to be at this level and struggle that badly. So you tell them don't worry about your numbers — I want to see improvements and adjustments and see what can happen then."
The Cubs need to go 12-14 to avoid a 100-loss season.

12/29 Garza hot topic
Could the Cubs deal Matt Garza? They are apparently still listening to teams interested in the right-hander. The Cubs are most likely looking for a package similar to what the Padres received from the Reds for Mat Latos and what the Athletics received from the Nationals for Gio Gonzalez, which means a lot of talented prospects. According to reports, the Blue Jays and Yankees may be the front-runners. What makes Garza attractive to the Jays and Yankees is his 23-15 record, 3.34 ERA in 56 career games vs. the AL East. Plus, he's 7-4 with a 3.83 ERA in 19 games against the Red Sox.
Chicago helped its system by dealing Sean Marshall to Cincinnati for Travis Wood and two other players. Theo Epstein, Cubs president of baseball operations, has said Garza is "exactly the type of pitcher we want to build around" but is willing to listen as the team re-tools. They'd have to be overwhelmed to move Garza, who is under team control through 2013. Gonzalez, 26, and Latos, 24, will be under team control for at least four years.

11/1 Listach expected to be bench coach
The Cubs were expected to name Pat Listach as Mike Quade's bench coach, according to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, who cited two baseball sources. Listach, 43, has been the third base coach for the Nationals the last two years and indicated an interest in the Cubs' managerial position after Lou Piniella retired. Listach managed in the Cubs' system for four seasons, posting a 258-217 record. In 2008, he led Triple-A Iowa to an 83-59 record and was named the Pacific Coast League's manager of the year. Listach played six big league seasons from 1992-97, winning the American League Rookie of the Year award in 1992 with the Brewers.
A Cubs official would neither confirm nor deny Listach's hiring. Major League Baseball asks teams to hold off on making announcements during the World Series, and out of respect for that, the Cubs will not make any announcement regarding the coaching staff until the Series is completed. Even if the Giants win Monday night to end the Series, the Cubs were expected to wait until Wednesday, an official said.
The Cubs had an opening after Alan Trammell left to join Kirk Gibson on the Diamondbacks' staff.
– Carrie Muskat
12/22 Matt Capps
According to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, free agent Matt Capps has narrowed his list of teams to the Nationals and the Cubs, and will make a decision by Wednesday night. Capps was not offered arbitration by the Pirates after saving 27 games. If he signs with the Nationals, Capps will be their closer. If he signs with the Cubs, he'd be a set-up pitcher for Carlos Marmol. He'd also give the Cubs some insurance in case Marmol has problems with walks.
– Carrie Muskat
8/26 Staying focused
Despite the fact that the Cardinals have a nine-game lead in the Central, and seem to never lose, the Cubs feel they're still in the race.
"I think everybody in the clubhouse, we still believe we're in it," pitcher Rich Harden said after Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Nationals. "Nobody's down. You have to go with that mindset. We've got to win some games. You can't get too ahead of yourself, 'We've got to win how many in a row.' I think we have to have an approach of taking it on a daily basis and win that game. The loss [Tuesday] was tough, but we came back today and played well and we can still win the series by winning [Thursday]. I think if you plan on winning the series, we'll be in a pretty good position by the end of the season."
Harden posted his 14th quality start, which matches his season total from 2008. His career high is 18 set in 2004. He has a 3-1 record and 1.80 ERA in his last seven starts. So far, the right-hander has struck out 143; he fanned 181 last season.

Regarding the crime lab/BOE location debate, I believe there are several valid arguments: price of the hospital offer, parking, space available for other departments or city services, as well as Downtown access for voters, alternative space for the BOE Downtown, and consolidation to one space.

|You Dubstep
That outdoor track is soft. Especially at a point 160m from the finish.
I'd expect the outdoor track to be notably faster, given that it doesn't look like there is much wind protection (meaning many of the sprints will likely be wind-aided).
Too bad, was hoping the new facility would rival Hayward Field - with all the money coming in, you'd think they'd commit enough to provide a top-notch facility.
indoor track is faster than most any outdoor track.
|You Dubstep
Watchout, you'll have to develop a speed rating for distance events held at this track. I would estimate that its slower by 1 second per lap compared to your average outdoor surface.
A track is a track... any difference (in dimension) would not be significant enough to factor IMO (a 160m track would be bound to be slightly slower than a 400m track, but how much slower? an amount probably not worth considering).
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the opinion I've always held, and why I treat indoor times the same as outdoor times.
|You Dubstep
What im saying is that the surface is like running across a mattress. When you climb aboard for the first time you'll see what I mean. This track will mean the end of stress fractures for UW but workouts and races will be noticeably slower.
|coach d
Given the problems they've had keeping people healthy, can you really argue with that?
Ah, interesting... I'd have no idea how to quantify that. But if that's the case, then I hope the HS State meet doesn't get moved there eventually (Mt. Tahoma in Tacoma or McKenzie in Vancouver would be the two best options).
I feel like the speed of the track is not a significant issue. It is indeed a softer surface but after running on it for countless workouts and a race or two I wouldn't say it "slows you down". It sure isn't making anybody run faster but to say there is any measurable amount of difference is quite a stretch.. A track is a track after all. It's no Hayward field, but all in all its a great facility and can't complain with what we've got!
|Montlake Sponge
Actually, it has to do with malnutrition and coaching (IMHO)
|You Dubstep
I'm glad this thread came back. I haven't heard any feedback about how the track has performed during the outdoor season.
It sounds like you're on the team and would know your workout paces well enough to know whether it's slow but that sensation of being *soft* tells you that, on paper, it has to be slower. That's just physics. The fastest tracks are a thin layer of mondo appliws over concrete while others are built-up out of softer layers and absorb more force from each stride. A soft track keeps you healthy but the hard track is the one you want to compete on. Unless it's a 10k.
|a coug runner
Softest track I have ever run on, so I would say its indeed slow. The turn at the start of the 200 is noticeably softer than the rest of the track, too. But should probably help UW's injury prone athletes.
That is strange it is softer in one particular area. They must have goofed when laying the track.
On a board dominated by distance runners UW is the University of Wisconsin, not U Dub, the University of Washington. It took me a while to figure out what you were talking about.
|You Dubstep
Touché. I've been living out west too long. I get OSU wrong too now. It's only Oregon State in the PNW.
|David Brent
How hard would it be for a common Seattleite to jump on the track and give it a try?
|local d1 runner
I heard from my coach that UW has to redo the entire surface of their new track.... such a waste of money!

I thoroughly enjoy caring for the elderly—in fact, many of them inspire me. I love my conversations with them, hearing about the things they've done, and learning about what they still want to accomplish. But most of all, I enjoy helping them achieve the highest quality of life possible.
Many of my patients look at me not just as a good doctor, but as their friend. It is a priority for me to ensure that when someone leaves the office, they understand the next steps in their care and that all questions have been answered. By investing some extra time during the office visit, I can help prevent confusion later.
Exercise and nutrition are critical to good health as you age, and with my patients, I am an enthusiastic advocate of finding ways to introduce more wellness into their lives. Health problems can also become more complicated as you grow older: my patients and I work together to create the most effective treatment plan.
For the first 20 years of my career I was an orthopaedic surgeon, a specialty where the motto is often "Get in, fix it and go." Switching to internal medicine has allowed me to practice a very different type of medicine, where the relationship is as important as the clinical skills. I'm honored to offer my patients both.

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie LB Ryan Shazier has been flying around all over the field and making plays during offseason practices. He has elite speed at the linebacker position and is all over the field around the football. Steelers defense coordinator Dick LeBeau is lining him up all over taking advantage of his versatility. LeBeau must love the new toy that he is able to dispense onto the field. There will be some added speed onto the defense.
Alan Robinson of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review says that Shazier looks like a younger version of Troy Polamalu during practice. That is a huge compliment to give the rookie that has yet to step onto the field for a regular season game. Have they even put the pads on yet? It does compliment the kids ability to fly around the field. He will be around the football to make plays.
Unlike Polamalu, Shazier will be lining up at linebacker to make plays. He will have Polamalu behind him though to give him some guidance.

The Top 25 Most Important People in Sports in LA Today
-Jonathan Quick-
How quickly we forget that the Los Angeles Kings' goalie was smiling, framed between the Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe trophies. If the Kings steamrolled through the playoffs, Jonathan Quick rolled in place, dominating the playoffs from the crease with an NHL best 1.41 GAA average in the playoffs. The Kings were the Stanley Cup champions in tied for the fewest games ever since the playoffs went to its current format.
Check Out Number 6 in the Countdown. . .
It is really the most fitting image—thinking of the Kings roster, moving fluidly and in unison, dominating the forecheck on the ice, that the King of the Kings is the most stationary figure. Quick, the King of Kings, looks over the team from his blue throne, and instills confidence in his subjects, his teammates.
What else is there to say about Quick? "What a *&%$%%$ guy." His F bomb, and follow up bomb for good measure, were the buzzworthy moments of the Kings Stanley Cup victory parade and celebration. But he always steals the show because his dominant play on the ice, and down to earth persona make him the most beloved member of the Kings. It is true of most hockey players, but Jonathan Quick particularly oozes regular guy. Most regular guys can't bend and contort and keep 100+ mph shots out of the net, but when he's off the ice he looks the part of a regular guy.
Quick got his first taste of the NHL at 22 years old. He played half the team's game in '08-'09, but has been the number 1 for the Kings since the following year when he started 72 games, had 39 wins, a GAA of 2.54, and all at 24 years old. His consistency really took the Kings to a new level in the playoffs. And if he hadn't been so consistent all season, the Kings never would have made the playoffs. Quick carried the Kings throughout all of their scoring droughts all season. He sets the tone from the goal because he plays such an aggressive style of goalie. He comes far out of the crease to challenge shooters, and eats up anything down low.
Quick is not the captain, but his leadership makes Dustin Brown's job easier. He is not the coach, but his ability allows Darryl Sutter to implement his game plan. He is not the GM, but Dean Lombardi didn't draft Quick either. And he's not the best goal scoring option on the team, but the load is a lot lighter on Anze Kopitar when he only needs to score 1 goal, and not a handful. Quick is absolutely the most important and valuable player on the Kings. Dean Lombardi thought so when he signed Quick to a 10 year, $58 million extension following the playoff run.
Quick should be running this town as the MVP of a Stanley Cup Champion, the first in the franchise's history. But because of the lockout Quick and the Kings are being quickly forgotten by the average fans and even above average fans. Forget the other LA teams not living up to expectations, the biggest regret of the 2012-2013 LA sports calendar will be the Kings not being able to defend their Cup. It's a huge missed opportunity to build the sport and league in the second biggest market in the country. If the owners and players union don't come to an agreement, Quick will have to keep training, and settle for his accolade as Number 5 on our list of the Most Important People in Sports in LA Today.

"I think society's emphasis on family forces us into relationships that are otherwise unhealthy. Sure, a long time ago, when people lived miles from civilization, family was all you had. There was a very practical purpose to sticking together. But now I have six million people in my backyard. Why should I be wasting time with someone I don't like just because they have the same last name as me?"
"With all the good it's brought, technology is destroying our communication skills— especially the ability to listen. The older generation can still listen, but many of the youngsters can't even look you in the eye while you speak. If they aren't looking at their mobiles, they're looking over your shoulder or glancing around the room."
"Why is verbal communication more important than communication through a device?"
"Because there's only so much you can learn from your Facebook friends."
"You know the scariest drug I ever did?"
"What's that?"
"Sobriety. I tried that shit, and suddenly I realized that my girlfriend was insane and all my friends were assholes."
I'm just like…

This week, members of a Congressional delegation are visiting Moscow to investigate the background of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects. Two members of the delegation, Republican Congressmen Dana Rohrabacher of California, and Steve King of Iowa, broke from their party's anti- Russia stance and called for closer collaboration with Russian colleagues on matters of intelligence and counterterrorism.
Mr. Rohrabacher said, "I would say both the Obama administration as well as the Republican administration before Obama — that we have allowed attitudes, maybe the attitudes from the cold war, to remain in place that have prevented a level of cooperation that is justified."
FAS applauds Mr. Rohrabacher and Mr. King for their support of increased cooperation between the United States and Russian officials in matters of international security, and their ability to look past Cold War thinking and work with Russia on issues of mutual concern. It is our hope that the support of Mr. Rohrabacher and Mr. King will encourage members of Congress to reevaluate their position on Russia and U.S. relations, including the reductions of nuclear stockpiles in both countries.
If you live in Mr. Rohrabacher or Mr. King's district and would like to show your support for increased collaboration between the United States and Russia on international security concerns, we urge you to contact the offices of Mr. Rohrabacher and Mr. King and voice your support for their stand.

Game 3 of the 2014 NBA Finals begins tonight at 9:00 PM ET on ABC in Miami.
LeBron James dominated the San Antonio Spurs in Game 2, primarily in the second half, but the Spurs still had a few positives to work with going into Game 3. From Pounding the Rock:
In Sunday's game, the Spurs had more assists than the Heat (26 to 16), more offensive rebounds (11 to 5), more bench points (37 to 12), four more three pointers (12 to 8), one more steal (7 to 6), and two fewer turnovers (11 to 13). It's not often that the team that wins the numbers game in those statistics loses the contest, but that just shows how hot the Heat got towards the end of Game 2.
San Antonio still looks like the better team after the first two outings and simply needs to hold LeBron to a mortal performance (easier said than done) for the rest of the series. The Heat don't seem to be strong enough outside of their biggest star to fill in the holes left when he is held at bay or on the bench. The Spurs are far deeper and will to need rely on that depth as they trudge through the rest of this Finals series.
As anyone who watched Game 2 could have guessed, Dwyane Wade was fined $5,000 for his flop in the second half to give Manu Ginobili his third foul.
The funniest part is that it happened to Ginobili—the king of flops.
As Featured Columnist Dimitri Skoumpourdis points out, it's now Battleground Miami:
After a thrilling run of faulty air conditioning, incapacitating cramps and a pre-game yoga session in which LeBron James' mantra was clearly revenge, the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat are tied at one game a piece as the scene for this NBA Finals grudge match shifts to the powdery white sands of South Beach.
With the loss, the pressure rests squarely on the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs head to King James' Palace with a focus on recreating the same team basketball that had them earn the top seed in the grueling Western Conference and a mere 28.2 seconds away from being crowned champions in 2013.
The goal is simple—force the series back to the friendly confines of the AT&T Centerin San Antonio.
History suggests that nothing can prepare us for the drama and intensity that looms at American Airlines Arena when these two basketball heavyweights take their places for the next act of this epic series.
The Game 3 winner of the NBA Finals goes on to win the series 83.3 percent of the time, according to Numbers Never Lie—that's 30 out of 36 times.
And when tied one apiece after the first two games, the Miami Heat have gone on to win the last six series through the NBA playoffs.
But don't be scared, Spurs fans, remember when the Oklahoma City Thunder had history on their side last series?
Miami stole a win in San Antonio and gained home-court advantage, so it is vital the Spurs head back to the AT&T Center with at least one win in the American Airlines Arena.

Working on this beauty some more tonight. Really happy with the direction its going in.
YAY! More Dragon sketches. Added some color to these. Love how they turned out. I've made some more decisions about the dragons but I will you guys find out about that when (if) this story ever becomes a reality, time willing.
Sketch for "The Elden", Pretty sure the design is going to change but this sketch was nice and I wanted to share.
Thats more what im talkin about. More Trono sketches. Getting closer to being fairly finalized (I think). Detail shots and colored versions to come.
Fun with character design. Pretty shitty at this sort of stuff at the moment but I'm learning. Hope to work a lot more, no where near final.
Reallyyy rough sketch for the face and face plating of the Trono. Listening to my sculpture teacher rant about life and be philosophical for an hour before we actually work is a great opportunity to doodle a bit.
Basically design for the Dragons. Name may still change but I'm not sure. Have some ideas. As of now I have about 5 face armor variants in the works.

The Cross & the Pen: A Greater Glory
- Friday, May 09, 2003
Several years ago, when I took my first stab at writing fiction, I was greatly influenced by the work of James Scott Bell. Some time later, at a convention and with my heart pounding, I met Jim for the first time. Recently we enjoyed a writer's conference together where I felt I got to know him better. On the last night of the conference he autographed a copy of his latest work for me. After I returned home, I snuck away to the beach where I enjoyed surf, sun, and A Greater Glory, by James Scott Bell (Bethany, 2003). As quickly as I could, I interviewed him. Here's what he shared with me:
Eva: Jim, what fiction authors inspire you?
Jim: I've had so many influences in my life: Hemingway, Saroyan, Chandler, Hammett, John D. MacDonald, Lawrence Block, Dean Koontz, Stephen King. For style and storytelling, of course, not necessarily content. I enjoy bringing the suspense style to Christian books.
Eva: Your newest book, A Greater Glory, begins a new series from the "Shannon Saga," a trilogy written with Tracie Peterson. What made you decide to continue with Kit Shannon's story alone?
Jim: I had the concept for this series and when Bethany bought it they offered a suggestion about teaming me with Tracie. I wasn't entirely sure about this, but they flew us to Minneapolis to meet and we just hit it off. Tracie is such a great person, both as a writer and partner. But we sort of agreed from the start that after the first three, if Bethany wanted more, I'd do them myself. Tracie has other series of her own to attend to.
What's so great is that the voice we developed together is now in my head, and that's how I'm doing the current series.
Eva: We are both novelists. Novels are born out of a passion. What was yours for Kit's story?
Jim: I wanted to do something that was a legal thriller, but also a little different. No one had done a historical legal thriller, and I thought about what period of time might be exciting. Well, early 1900s Los Angeles was a really exciting period, and not much has been done on it. Since I grew up in L.A. and love the history, it was a natural.
So who should be the hero? It also happens that women were just getting into the law at that time. I thought that a young Christian woman, whose mother had been defrauded by lawyers, might have the grit to try it. Kit Shannon was born, an Irish American with moxie and a Christian heritage. I hope that my Kit Shannon books can become a real alternative for many readers.
Eva: Okay, Jim, I will have to say you impressed me with your pick of time and place. Why that period and why that city?
Jim: To expand on what I said above, this was a time when L.A. was moving from an Old West and Mexican Rancho sort of feel to a real city, with intimations of greatness. It was like America at the time, too, as people were starting to move from the rural areas into cities in greater numbers. The auto was coming into vogue, a little item called moving pictures, airplanes. There were big men with big ambitions--Harrison Gray Otis of the L.A. Times, and William Randolph Hearst of the L.A. Examiner. There was just a lot going on.
And the courtrooms were wild places, too. Earl Rogers, a character in the series, was a real person, and many consider him the greatest trial lawyer who ever lived. Unfortunately, the bottle caught up with him. Other people of the time who pass through the books are John Barrymore, Theodore Roosevelt, Jack London, Harry Houdini and Carry Nation.
Eva: In A Greater Glory, you spin several stories of intrigue at once...and manage to do so very well, by the way. You draw in the magic of Houdini, the spies of pre-World War I, the tricks of journalism and what we, today, call "rag mags." How did you do the research for all this?

Stylist Ty Hunter has a looooong history with Beyonce that dates back to the days of Destiny's Child, when her mom Tina met Ty in a Houston mall. Last night, he rang in his 41st birthday with an intimate bash in New York City and it was only right that Beyonce was on hand to celebrate the festivities. Taking advantage of her tour break, Bey was spotted rocking a polka dot romper and wavy short hair as she arrived at his private rooftop surprise party. Bravo's Chef Roble and Love and Hip Hop Atlanta's Ariane was also spotted throwing back some patron cupcakes as they partied the night away.
