Though Joss Whedon says The Avengers is an imperfect movie, I contend that it's perfect entertainment. It's what the summer movie season is made for. But I'm just going to go ahead and point out the big error in the film (SPOILERS AHEAD!):
Why no shirtless Thor? Captain America? Iron Man? Hawkeye? Hell, I'd take Agent Coulson shirtless!
Sure, we got 25 seconds of Bruce Banner naked in some rubble. But it wasn't sexy. It wasn't in a moment of action. It was just sort of, eh. As much as I love Mark Ruffalo for being totally cute and charming and an incredible actor - I can guarantee you that his contract didn't require he add 35 pounds of pure muscle before shooting. (I'm looking at you, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans.)
Thinking back, the Thor movie surprised me. It turned the objectification of the body on its head. Natalie Portman and Kat Dennings donned flannels and puffy vests for most of the movie and cleavage was always at a minimum. (And we all know that Dennings isn't short on titty.) Instead, the entire film was designed to gaze at Thor. Both from the perspective of the supporting characters and from the audience.
Marvel nerds will take me to task if I don't mention the fact that Thor is a God and, in my opinion, this fact influenced the cinematography. If you're really paying attention, you'll notice just how slowly and thoughtfully the camera passes over his body. I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that director Kenneth Branagh was throwing a wink to all the ladies and gays in the audience with this film.
Now, back to lack of abdominals in The Avengers. This infographic helpfully titled, "Reasons your girlfriend loved and hated The Avengers," suggests that Scarlett Johansson is the primary reason why the ladies didn't dig The Avengers. (I disagree on the order on the loved pie, but it's irrelevant.) I have yet to meet a single woman who didn't love The Avengers, but we all agreed: more abs. More shoulder muscles. More arms. More of this:
(It would be drastically improved if that shirt wasn't involved.)
Don't worry boyfriends of the world. Your girlfriend doesn't give a shit about ScarJo. She's got lots of other things to look at when it comes to the Marvel films.

|South Carolina brings in new faces with experience
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 12 October 2007 03:10
Not so, counters Gamecocks coach Dave Odom.
``I would take exception to that,'' he said Thursday. ``We do have a new team, but we do return experience.''
That's because the Gamecocks get high-profile transfers Devan Downey from Cincinnati, Zam Fredrick from Georgia Tech, and a lesser known but just as important guard in Branden Conrad from Navy, Odom said.
Downey, from Chester, made the Big East Conference's all-rookie team two years ago after averaging 12.3 points and 4.1 assists a game. But he left when Bob Huggins' replacement, Andy Kennedy, was not retained as Bearcats coach.
Fredrick, the son of 1980s Gamecocks star Zam Fredrick, spent two years at Georgia Tech after winning three state championships for his dad's Calhoun County team. The younger Fredrick played both guard spots with the Yellow Jackets, starting 18 games and averaging 10.6 points his final season there.
Conrad is the son of former Clemson star point guard, and current U.S. District Court judge, Bobby Conrad. Odom thinks the younger Conrad can sub in for Downey to keep him fresher and healthier over the long season.
Mix in several freshmen like Mike Holmes, Austin Steed and Sam Muldrow - all who Odom expects to challenge for starting spots during the season because of their high level of athleticism and skill - and Odom said the Gamecocks are shooting for the postseason.
``Can we play in the postseason?'' Odom said. ``Yes we can, and I expect to.''
That might seem like a longshot to some since gone are the Gamecocks' most important players from a year ago.
Tre Kelley was an SEC player of the year candidate who averaged almost 37 minutes and 19 points a game, much of it on a knee that required surgery after the season. Brandon Wallace averaged 9.9 points and 9.4 rebounds last season and left as South Carolina's leader in blocked shots with 249.
But Downey plays at a frenetic pace that's going to force the other Gamecocks to keep up, Odom said.
``If you lose a point guard the caliber of Tre Kelley, you want a Devan Downey to take his place,'' Odom said. ``We have him.''
The 6-foot-7 Holmes, the 6-8 Steed and the 6-9 Muldrow will rotate around the area Wallace took care of so well last year. ``You want some new players to come in with the passion to rebound and block shots and play defense,'' Odom said. ``I think we have that.''
Downey, Fredrick and Conrad all had to sit out last season because of NCAA transfer rules. And there were some frustrating moments they had to just watch.
The low point was an 84-50 home loss to No. 2 Florida when all they wanted to do was get on the court to help.
``That was the hardest, saying, 'Man, I could've done this. I could've helped them,''' Downey said.
Odom often looked down his bench last year and saw more ``coats and ties than guys in uniform,'' he said.
This season, ``I think we'll have the answers on the bench,'' Odom said.
Two important goals for the Gamecocks this year are to improve on their last-place SEC finish at 4-12, and compete harder at home.
The Florida defeat was part of a three-game losing streak at the Colonial Center where the Gamecocks were outscored by a total of 88 points. Their 87-49 loss to Kentucky last Jan. 16 was South Carolina's worst home defeat since 1915.
But Downey sees a group that can make shots, rebound, play defense - and won't get blown out like last season.
``This team right here is going to surprise so many people this year,'' Downey said.

A brawl erupted in a game between the Brisbane Bandits and the Sydney Blue Sox of the Australian Baseball League. The scrum began as a disagreement between Sydney catcher Daniel Arribas and Brisbane's Patrick Leonard after Leonard steamrolled Arribas at the plate while trying to score on a base hit.
Things escalated when the Bandits' Joshua Roberts came tearing from the dugout and sucker punched Arribas.
As you can see from the video clip…it's not exactly Thunderdome. Nope, Australian Baseball League brawls look pretty much like MLB brawls. A couple punches, a lot of jawing, and then lots of the umpires and managers standing around discussing what just happened.
No kangaroos with boxing gloves. No Crocodile Dundee whipping out a knife and saying "that's a knife." No guys with giant pink mohawks firing crossbows. Disappointing, Australia.
One question: who the hell is #34 on Brisbane? Dude is a giant!

Firms seek specialist help in the battle with accountants

Excellence breeds diversity in 20 years of The Lawyer Awards
25 June 2014
If an emerging trend continues to grow, clients could soon be receiving advice from law firms - but not from lawyers.
Firms around the City are looking to set themselves apart from the competition by offering a little bit extra - advice from non-legal, in-house specialists.
Picking up on a practice that began in the US and with one eye on the potential explosion in the multidisciplinary departments of the big accountants, firms are recruiting specialist advisers to work directly with clients.
The advisers, claim enthusiasts, have direct experience of the clients' world that can be used to offer practical, specialist advice, and their presence also helps to reassure clients that their chosen firm is fully up to date with clients' business and markets.
Recent recruits include people from UK financial services, international trade, Indian politics and the Polish insurance market.
One new adviser at a City law firm says that for the client, using a law firm with an internal adviser was like an expectant mother dealing with a midwife who had actually had her own children.
The advisers have often built up successful careers in government departments or regulatory boards before moving into the law. Ashurst Morris Crisp has a former Indian government official to advise London-based clients on political matters on the sub-continent, while Cameron Mc- Kenna employs a former regulator of the Polish insurance market and Rowe & Maw employs a specialist on European and international trade.
Glenda Davies is only the latest of the new breed. Former director of regulatory policy at the Securities and Futures Authority (SFA), Davies has just started working for SJ Berwin to become, the firm claims, the first financial services adviser to be employed in-house by a law firm (The Lawyer, 14 June).
Changes are coming thick and fast, with e-commerce, electronic signatures, the euro and a new financial services regulatory regime, and SJ Berwin felt it needed experienced specialist help if it was to gain new clients.
Davies sees her role as an "everyman", grounding the specifically legal advice work of her colleagues.
"As a lay person, I will react in the same way as a client will react and see how things will affect their practical business world because I know how it works," she says.
"I have been a regulator and a lobbyist so something will often strike me that may not strike a lawyer."
The move raises the question of why such an adviser is needed in-house when many would argue it is part of a lawyer's job to keep him or herself up to speed with changes in the field.
Charles Abrams, head of SJ Berwin's financial services group, says lawyers may think they know everything but they should really stick to the law. The specialist's advice, he believes, puts the legal side in its proper context.
"New legislation that is coming out is very complicated and we as lawyers won't always understand the effect of the proposals on clients. We don't have the time to check for daily changes and watch what is happening on the internet," he says.
"It is not law, but it is very important for the client. It means advice from a law firm with such an adviser will not be so insular. This gives clients a more holistic view, covering all the angles."
A key aspect of the trend is that having a specialist adviser on board offers firms a new marketing opportunity. Abrams says: "Accountancy firms have been marketing the specialist side of their business, and now we can too. We can offer something that many other firms cannot."
Rowe & Maw recently recruited Cliff Stevenson from economics consultancy firm MGK International Trade Consultants to become its chief economist advising on European and international trade. The firm clearly sees this as a key appointment because it has allotted him an assistant in the shape of academic Jeremy Kempton.
Philip Ruttley, a partner at the firm, says: "We felt we needed an integrated service. We need an economist to justify, say, to the European Commission why a company de- serves an exemption, or to tell a company what a particular regulation involves."
For Rowe & Maw, such a specialist in-house resource is not just a useful tool but also a cost-effective way of getting advice. "This is very useful for clients because they need to know the economic aspects as well as the legal aspects. Having someone in-house is easier, cheaper and there is clearly the need," says Ruttley.
Abrams agrees: "We have crossed the Rubicon and I am sure other firms will join us. Ninety-nine per cent of law firms don't understand every detail. I believe that in about six months' time we will wonder how we got on without Glenda. In fact I hope it doesn't catch on, because we feel this gives us the edge."
Ruttley says it will change the face of firms in the future: "There will undoubtedly be more and more internal advisers in City firms. It is the only way if we are to seriously compete with the big US firms who have been doing this for a much longer time. We are emulating the US as a result of the increased globalisation of the markets."
From the client's point of view, BUPA's head of legal, Paul Newton, says that when clients are choosing a firm, the presence of relevant specialist internal advisers could swing the balance. BUPA particularly welcomes having Ashurst Morris Crisp's Indian adviser, Ashok Mubayi, on board. This has been invaluable for particular projects, says Newton.
"There is often little to differentiate between firms when it comes to technical legal advice, so clients are looking for practices that can offer that little bit extra to stand out from the competition," says Newton.
"The advice from the specialist can be more valuable than that from the lawyer because they might tell you something that could be critical to the success of a project, such as whether a thing will work in a particular environment."
Clients may well wonder if they are going to have to pay for the extra advice.
Abrams says SJ Berwin had not yet worked out how it will charge for Davies' advice, but says it will probably be on the same scale as a newly-qualified solicitor if Davies deals directly with the client, though there will probably be no charge for Davies giving advice to internal lawyers.
"I don't think clients would object to paying because of the value she will undoubtedly add," says Abrams.
In some areas, BUPA is looking at cutting its costs. For instance, it is instructing more regional firms, but Newton believes the specialist advice at the City firms is worth paying a little extra for.
"We would expect to pay for that kind of advice because it is so valuable, but many clients would not wear it if the bill showed you were paying extra because they think they are paying a fortune anyway. It depends how the bill is presented and what clients know," says Newton.
Firms that are providing extra specialist advice say it has caused no problems so far. Clients of Rowe & Maw receive an all-inclusive bill and there have been no complaints, according to Ruttley.
The trend to employ advisers is part of a broader strategy on the part of firms to take on the big accountants where multidisciplinary departments are common. Their access to so many in-house specialists threatens to take potential business away from "single skill" firms.
Arthur Andersen, for instance, has a contra-deal with lawyers at Garretts. "If we need specialist accountancy advice, we just ring up someone at Arthur Andersen," says Anne Groves, spokeswoman for Garretts.
The accountancy firms are not afraid to market themselves on this basis. "In insurance they market themselves on the fact that they have varied expertise," says Newton. "The accountants have the edge on this."
SJ Berwin happily admits that the firm took its model from the accountancy firms. "We thought: 'If accountants are doing it, why can't we?' " says Abrams.
Rowe & Maw, meanwhile, is confident that law firms can move ahead of their rivals. "I think law firms can offer more of a service than many accountants if they use in-house specialists," says Ruttley.
However, not every firm wishes to use specialist help. A spokeswoman for Freshfields says the firm is not currently interested in putting a non-lawyer in front of clients.
"We have some in-house specialists but at a lower level, who brief lawyers with the benefit of their experience but not directly interfacing with the client - we have lawyers who do that."
It is always possible that the competition between law and accountancy firms may mean that specialist advisers end up in short supply and therefore become more expensive.
Abrams certainly sees the recruitment of non-lawyer specialists spreading to other firms in the financial services sector, and also to specialists in tax. "For instance, someone who was not a lawyer but had, say, worked for the Inland Revenue would be extremely useful as an internal adviser on taxation," he says. "We feel we could give just as good a home to someone like that as an accountancy firm."

As a former Hollywood screenwriter, now a licensed psychotherapist who treats creative people, I hear jaw-dropping stories about the state of the entertainment industry every day in my practice. But I have to admit, this new anecdote gives me pause.
A patient of mine told me last week about a friend of his, another writer, who was meeting with a young TV executive. The exec was musing that there might be a great TV series in the idea of a doctor who solves crimes. The writer told her that such a series had already aired, many years ago, called Diagnosis: Murder. The exec said she'd never heard of it. The writer said, "It ran for years, and starred Dick Van Dyke." To which the exec replied, "Who's Dick Van Dyke?"
True story. What makes it even more dispiriting is that I'm sure this young exec considers herself very TV-literate. By that I mean she knows all the hot, new "Flavor of the Month" actors and actresses, loves "edgy" cable shows like Shameless and House of Lies, and trawls the Internet daily to find blogs worthy of being turned into TV series.
But, in my view, awareness of the latest trends doesn't make you TV-literate. To be knowledgeable about your field, you're required to have an understanding of what's gone before—if merely so that you don't think you've just invented the wheel, when people have been riding around on similar circular devices for decades.

I made this as a thank you card from my dog to a friend. I think it is pretty much my favorite thing I've ever done.
Avatar: The Last Airbender, photographer, musician/recording artist Ginormous
We've been SUPER excited to finally post this one, and here she is. We're both big fans of the show the Legend of Korra since friends strong-armed us into watching it last year (I watched almost all of season one in a single sitting) and Naga is pretty much amazing. If I had three wishes, having my own polarbear dog would be the number two, righ behind fiscal solvency (har har).
Our take on Naga is a one of a kind - there are no casts, and we won't be doing this again. At 22" from nose to tail, she's almost two feet long, and about 9.5" high at the withers… so she's quite a big girl, and would be a proportionately suitable mount for some sizes of ball joint doll. She's hand sculpted and painted, sealed and sewn with a collection of dense ice-white furs. She's completely articulated with plastic joints that gives her a realistic range of movement, and the ability to hold a pose beautifully. Her tack made from a combination of nickle hardware, walnut coloured leather and felt, with a padded saddle blanket. It is removable via two separate hooks for the girth and breastcollar.
She is available for sale via silent auction.
To make a bid, please email us the following to email@example.com.

We will update tumblr, facebook & deviantart with the highest bids as we are able. Please note we will NOT post your name or information. The auction will run until 6pm EST on Thursday January 16th, at which point will we contact the winner via email. Payments must be made via paypal in Canadian dollars, but we will accept payment terms.
25% of profits from this auction will be donated to Polar Bears International, to help fund their continuing research and education programs in defense of our dwindling polar bear populations.
For more info, please email us - email@example.com
Angela Song Mueller just forwarded this to me. WOW! Incredible work. And very cool about the donations to the polar bear fund. Congratulations to whomever ends up winning this amazing piece.
Book 3 buddies.

Natasha Wicke (Korra storyboard artist) headed to the Anime Expo this past weekend at the LA Convention Center, along with Angela Song Mueller (character design) and Christine Bian (prop design). Natasha shared with me some great coplay pics that she took, like this one of Naga.

Some days you get to rest.

Christine Bian, our incredibly talented prop designer, has started a Tumblr blog to showcase her exquisite animal drawings. I love this Naga piece, but do yourself a favor and check out her other work too.
This seems like a fitting reblog, after the last reblog.
(via theanimalblog)
Young Korra and Naga~
How do I draw animals
I've been chipping away at this one, bit by bit, for a few weeks. Living with the official Naga model, my dog, was certainly a big help. He often strikes a majestic, epic pose on the porch, staring into his vast domain. This is a tribute to him, the quiet observer.
We put together some artwork for these giant decals to decorate our two production areas in the Burbank studio. My favorite is this life-size one of Naga & Korra. That's the same look my dog gives me 90% of the time, and now I can see it towering over the cubicles every time I step outside my office.
Great costumes, cool light-up glove, cute Naga plush, and I think I spy a Ramona Flowers snapping a pic in the background.
OK, now we're twinsies, Joaquim! Naga is ready to party with Bolin in style.
Happy Premiere Day, everyone!
P.S. Ha! I knew there would be people responding, "Why isn't she wearing a dress?" What is this, 1950? Because she wanted to be twinsies with Bolin, because a black & white tuxedo looks great on a black & white polar bear-dog, and because she isn't bound by social constructs. And I don't share her taste for musicals, but she is a fan of Cabaret.

Richard Neutra, an Interior View
A film by Justin Neutra, the grandson of famed modern architect, Richard Neutra.
"As an architect, my life has been governed by the goal of building environmental harmony, functional efficiency, and human enhancement into the experience of everyday living. These things go together, constituting the cause of architecture, and a life devoted to their realization cannot be an easy one…
I have been privileged, or perhaps doomed, to eschew simpler, lighter burdens. Shaping man's surroundings entails a lot more than spatial, structural, mechanical, and other technical considerations—certainly a lot more than pontificating about matters of style. Our organic well-being is dependent on a wholesome, salubrious environment. Therefore exacting attention has to be paid to our intricate sensory world."
Richard Neutra.

How a CSA works
Individuals or families pay a fee in the spring to become a member or "shareholder" of a Community Supported Agriculture program. The cash allows farmers to prepare the soil, buy seeds or purchase equipment to produce their crops. In return, shareholders receive a weekly portion of the farm's bounty, usually from the end of May through October. Most farmers have several drop-off locations to make it more convenient for members to pick up their produce.

|Post a Comment
The following year, they helped create farmers markets at Gardener Village in West Jordan and Thanksgiving Point in Lehi.
And in 2013, they opened the Urban Farm and Feed Market Store at 5823 S. State, which sells their farm-grown produce and other local products year-round.
While that seems like plenty for a young couple raising two boys, the Alstons aren't finished yet.
This year they are starting Utah's newest Community Supported Agriculture Program or CSA.
"The reason for all this — the markets, the store and the CSA — is that we really want to get people more in tune with the food they eat," said Marty Alston.
He recites a popular phrase to explain his point: "Once in your life you need a doctor, lawyer, policeman and preacher. But every day, three times a day you need a farmer."
"You should know your farmer better than you know your doctor," he said, "and a CSA is one way of doing that."
Growing trend » Two decades ago, few Utahns had heard of a CSA. But as the 2014 growing season gets underway, these farm-to-fork programs have taken root, giving busy consumers a way to buy fresh fruit and vegetables — as well as eggs, meat, cheese and more — directly from farmers.
For those who want to join a CSA, sign-ups are underway and will continue through the end of April or first of May, depending on the farmer. Just pay the fee now, and in return receive a portion of the farm's produce during the growing season. Prices vary, but shares usually start around $25 a week for one to two people.
A CSA gives farmers a regular cash flow, while consumers buy produce knowing exactly where their food comes from and how it's grown.
There are many reasons why consumers might sign up, said Jack Wilbur, a community outreach specialist with the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF). Some people don't have the land, or the inclination, to plant their own garden. Others use it to supplement what they grow in their backyard.
Nationally, there are at least 4,000 CSAs across the country, according to LocalHarvest, an organic and local food website that keeps a database of small farms, farmers markets and other local food sources.
In Utah, there are more than 30. (See the list accompanying this story.) Wilbur said most of the farmers on the list have several drop-off points throughout the Wasatch Front to make it convenient for customers to pick up their shares.
"If you can make the commitment, you can't go wrong," he said. "It's a wonderful way to have a great supply of fresh food all summer long."
Urban CSA » Fresh food is the mantra at the Alston's Urban Farm and Feed CSA.
The couple is leasing 7 acres — more than double the 3 acres they worked last year — in Murray, Draper, Holladay and West Valley City. The plots had not been farmed in several years and land owners, such as Ed Packer, were happy to get the soil back into production.
"I'm glad to see it being used," he said of the 1-acre Draper plot he lets the Alston's farm.Next Page >

The modern definition of 'racist' is someone who is winning an argument with a liberal.Peter Brimelow
When an argument flares up, the wise man quenches it with silenceUnknown
Those who invalidate reason, ought seriously to consider, "whether they argue against reason, with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principle, that they are laboring to dethrone;" but if they argue without reason, (which, in order to be consistent with themselves, they must do,) they are out of the reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.Ethan Allen
I would not hesitate to say that nine out of ten of the critics of the peace movement get the argument turned upside down. "You cannot change human nature" has become a sort of incantation with those critics. Perhaps you cannot "change human nature" I don't indeed know what the phrase means. But you can certainly change human behavior, which is what matters, as the whole panorama of history shows.Sir Norman Angell
The fact that men are naturally quarrelsome is presumed to be an argument against such institutions as the League. But it is precisely the fact of the natural pugnacity of man that makes such institutions necessary. If men were naturally and easily capable of being their own judges, always able to see the other's case, never got into panics, never lost their heads, never lost their tempers and called it patriotism why, then we should not want a League. But neither should we want in that case most of our national apparatus of government either parliaments, congresses, courts, police, ten commandments. These are all means by which we deal with the unruly element in human nature.Sir Norman Angell
The business of art lies just in this, -- to make that understood and felt which, in the form of an argument, might be incomprehensible and inaccessible.Leo Tolstoy
When a man who is drinking neat gin starts talking about his mother he is past all argument.C.S. Forester
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; argument an exchange of ignorance.Robert Quillen
A novel is an impression, not an argument; and there the matter must rest.Thomas Hardy
Those two little words -- says you -- are the most powerful argument in any discipline: theology, philosphy, even domestic harmony. They are powerful because they are true. Whenever you say something, it is you who says it. You. And what do you knowJ. Mark Bertrand
Behind every argument is someone's ignorance.Louis D. Brandeis
The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.Edgar Watson Howe
A half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better.Stephen Leacock
The best way I know of to win an argument is to start by being in the right. Lord Quintin Hogg HailshamLord Quintin Hogg Hailsham
Lower your voice and strengthen your argument.Lebanese Proverb
The difficult part in an argument is not to defend one's opinion but rather to know it.Andre Maurois
No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.Jascha Heifetz
Don't take the wrong side of an argument just because your opponent has taken the right side.Baltasar Gracian
He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.Michel Eyquem De Montaigne

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Meester bool, you are SO ugly!
Blog Guy, I know you've said bullfighting isn't a wise career choice for college seniors, but the profession still intrigues me. Isn't there anything in the pointless animal torture field that might suit me?
Look, there's more to a career than silly outfits. You might consider becoming a creepador. As you can see in this photo, this furtive fellow works in the shadows, irritating the bull with whispered slurs and insults, mostly recycled Don Rickles material.
The creepador gets the bull so furious that it doesn't notice the sniperdor, way up in the bleachers, who shoots the animal with a high-powered rifle just as the bullfighter is about to stick those pointed things in it. But remember, the creepador is like the vice president. If something happens to the real bullfighter, guess who gets an instant promotion?
Related links: A goofy job and Try not to impress him

Hey Earl, watch ME avoid the bull!
Welcome to a feature we call "Euphemisms in the News." The genuine photo caption here tells us "people try to avoid a bull which was set loose in the town center…as part of yearly celebrations…"
Um, do these folks not have access to the news? Doesn't it seem a better way to avoid the bull would be to NOT come downtown that day?
Try not to impress him very much…
We have a story about a breeder of fighting bulls who plans to clone his best stud. The stud sired two bulls that impressed a famous bullfighter named El Juli so much that we're told he "keeps their heads mounted at home."
Excuse me? Where I'm from, we don't say, "That's a real impressive dog you have there, Judy! I'd like to hang its head in my rec room."
"So? What do you do for a living?"
Who could have guessed that the next big trend would be nun-matador bars? But here they are, wildly successful – at least, you know, in cities that have both nuns and matadors. Of course, you may have different ideas about what's going on in this photo. Try your hand at a clever caption, and send it our way via Post a Comment.

Chapel Hill sweeps Big Eight 3-A Conference boys and girls swim meet ... Wrestling, girls basketball, boys basketball results
"So far, so good, so hopefully keep going in the right direction," the former South Granville High School star said after playing long toss, a day after a bullpen session throwing at about 80 percent. "Every day is getting a little better."
East Chapel Hill, N.C. Science & Math, Carrboro and Granville Central high schools are area leaders in fall sports Wells Fargo Conference Cup competitions, the N.C. High School Athletic Association announced Wednesday.
Girls' and boys' basketball and wrestling ...
Boys' and girls' basketball ... boys' and girls' swimming ...
No. 13 Hertford County used a handful of big plays Friday night to get past No. 4 South Granville 27-14 and advanced to the second round of the 2-AA playoffs.
This is a look at Friday, Nov. 15th's eight state playoff football games encompassing nine area football programs. Game-by-game breakdowns include playoff classification, East Region seeding and overall records.
4-AA — No. 10 South View (8-3) at No. 7 Riverside (8-3), 7 p.m.
4-A — No. 12 Clayton (7-4) at No. 5 Hillside (8-2), 7 p.m.
4-A — No. 10 Northern (3-8) at No. 7 Wilmington New Hanover (8-3), 7 p.m.
3-AA — No. 15 Chapel Hill (4-7) at No. 2 Southern (9-2), 7 p.m.
3-AA — No. 11 Rocky Mount (8-3) at No. 6 Orange (10-1), 7 p.m.
3-A — No. 10 Northwood (8-3) at No. 7 Mebane Eastern Alamance (8-3), 7 p.m.
2-AA — No. 13 Hertford County (6-5) at No. 4 South Granville (9-2), 7 p.m.
1-AA — No. 5 Granville Central (7-4) at No. 4 Princeton (8-3), 7 p.m.
The first of a two-part look at Friday's eight state playoff games encompassing nine area football programs. Today's highlights: Chapel Hill at Southern, Granville Central at Princeton, Northern at New Hanover and Hertford at South Granville. ... Coming tomorrow: Clayton at Hillside, Rocky Mount at Orange, Northwood at Eastern Alamance and Hertford at South Granville.
The N.C. High School Athletic Association on Saturday released the seedings and matchups for Friday's opening round of the state football playoffs in eight classifications and nine area teams made the field.
A sweeping postgame brawl that involved Northern Vance and Oxford Webb players Friday night and at least one assistant coach cast a dark shadow on the Warriors' season-ending 21-20 win Friday at Viking Stadium.
Orange and Southern meet in the area game of the year Friday, Nov. 8, the first meeting of the Big Eight 3-A Conference co-leaders as fellow 3-A members. But while Friday's regular-season finale will decide the Big Eight title, it might not be the last time the two face off this season. Two of the top 3-A programs in the state, they could very well face each other again in the playoffs. Both teams have already locked up playoff berths. A look at all 10 high school games involving area teams on Friday's schedule. Note: Northern-Riverside tonight is at Riverside.
By the time Sean Bowman took the handoff and zipped 49 yards for a touchdown with under four minutes to play it was getting to be old hat. But that fourth rushing TD was his favorite, and put him over 2,000 yards rushing for the season in a 62-12 Northern Carolina 2-A Conference win over Warren County.
With only two games remaining in the regular season, the races for the three playoff berths up for grabs in each of the area's five NCHSAA football conferences is red hot.
The area's last remaining state volleyball playoff contenders -- Chapel Hill, South Granville -- are eliminated on the road in the NCHSAA 3-A and 2-A semifinals.
Carrboro, N.C. Science & Math and Research Triangle High School are among the favorites to take home state cross country championships in their classifications Saturday at the Ivey M. Redmon Sports Complex in Kernersville.

"On the trip down there we had a lot of fun," said Bret. "A lot of us already knew each other and we had seen each other player before. It all just started on the bus and we were just so close as a team. We came together that first morning of practice and we kept clicking all week. It was fun. It was great!"
Jefcoat says that his job was simple. He found a way to get the ball to the players who could make plays to move the offense ahead. He had a long list of talented athletes to choose from.
"It makes it easier on you to have all of that talent around you," said Bret. "I was just giving the ball to our play makers and just following the game plan."
Not many people expected the Magnolia Staters to dominate their Alabama opponents the way they did. Most of the pregame hype was about the Alabama All-Stars.
"We used all of that as motivation," said Jefcoat. "It seemed like everybody was on Alabama's side, so we just let that motivate us. They had won almost all of the games, but they didn't win this one."
Bret got the chance to work with North Forrest coach Shannon White on offense. Coach White's acumen for breaking down defenses is well known.
"He is a great coach," said Jefcoat. "He really got us ready for the game and then in the game it seemed like he made all of the right calls. He coached us really well the whole week."
In Bret's mind the home state win will be one for the ages.
"This was the experience of a lifetime," said the talented quarterback. "I am going to remember playing in this game the rest of my life. I will be telling my kids about playing in this one. It was all just a great experience. Just being with the other players who are going to be at the next level with you was great."
A couple of new schools apparently have seen enough of Bret to hop aboard the Jefcoat bandwagon.
"Arkansas State has offered me and my Dad told me earlier that Southern Miss offered me today," said Bret. "I haven't talked to Southern. I have talked to the Arkansas State coaches before, but I have never really looked real hard at them."
Bret is currently committed to Derek Dooley and Louisiana Tech.

Whoever made this video is an idiot. Did you know? ... Many idiots make stupid videos that aren't true? Everyday? And other people believe the bullsh*t. Did you know?
Exactly. Leeches feeding off of our industries.
What he didn't say is that having the highest IQ in China means you're good at screwing a #4-40 screw into an iPhone.
What he didn't say is that having the highest IQ in China means you're good at screwing a #4-40 screw into an iPhone.
 Let me see if I have the "jist". In 1900 England was the biggest and most powerful. Now America is/was. China and India are taking the world over from America. Hey, Shift Happens. LOL. China and India need to develope their own countries like America did. Maybe save the world thru lots of blood loss like America did a couple of times. Stop sucking the developed nations dry of their jobs by providing CHEAP labor. This was written by someone from China, India, or some American business exec who want
"Â The 25% of the population in China with the highest IQs is greater than the total population of North America" You stupid idiot! All this is saying is that more than 4 times as many people live in China than in NA!! IT's nothing to do with IQ u dumb. "We are preparing students for jobs that don't exist yet": New jobs will occur due to advancement in technology which comes from innovation which comes from EDUCATION u idiot! I also got one that will make you think deeply: By the year 2025, 504 910 816 se
All I got to say is long after this stuff happens: I still will have my motor home
YAy: I like how the Chinese figures are yellow and the Indian figures are brown.
SOMEONE'S: in love with China and India. And bagpipes. Actually I don't know if there were really any bagpipes but there SHOULD have been.
mommy hold me...: I'M SACRED!
Pretty: Cool.
I thought they had begun work: on those 'biologica' processors. Ie they behave like brain-cells, and are infact living, they just need to perfect the stasis
Jaw: ..............................
Jaw: ..............................
those chinese and indians: reproduce too much
Gay: First part seems like a promo to go to war with China and India
I would say that: 50% of this video was useless and 50% made no sense. I would rather watch the tomato in the blender video 10 times in a row then this
YES: Like that one
Did you Know....: People believe everything they see on the internet....
did you know..: that if every peson who has viewed this video watched it all the way through.. there should have been 333,826,160 chinese fuckers created since this video was posted.. and i figured that out on a lap top which will soon be smarter than every single one of those chinese fuckers
algorithms: math. really complicated math.
err: I just don't understand how a computer can be smarter than a human brain. How could it exceed the intelligence of the creator if the creator didn't know how to make it that way??
Actually: if you were one in a million in China there would be more like 1,800 people like you, and 1,200 in Indiana (1.8 B & 1.2 B Respectively). It's interesting because this contains some facts, but also contains many twisted statistics and inaccurate information. Most likely a college student's anthropology project.
did you know.......: 90 percent of all statistics are completely made up?
Read at least one hour per day of a particular practical subject: and you will be one of the world's foremost experts in it in ten years or less.

Yea, why are you so angry? Calm down.
Your mom didn't hug you much did she. Sad.
i dont care how much they reproduce, as long as they dont do it in america lol
thank you for demonstrating the underlying: theme of this video.
o man: lmao
lulz: .
I thought they had begun work: on those 'biologica' processors. Ie they behave like brain-cells, and are infact living, they just need to perfect the stasis
not for long: if they can make all those advancements in 15 years what makes you think they won't b able to create artifical intellegence in the next 50?
computing / calculating :: It ain't going to do a f**king thing unless some "dumb" human tells it to.
Why is math: The only thing that makes a person smart?
algorithms: math. really complicated math.
come on: computing / calculating is faster hence smarter... your calculator can do its task 100 times faster than you could ever do.
Haha!: He said Indiana.
Really?: Indiana? baha
That's: the joke, dipshit
YES: Like that one
Yeah, yay England ...: 1900 England, that is. But who is it now?

How to Make a Peet's Freddo
Recipe first, explanation below:
(makes one Freddo)
2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cocoa
1/8 tsp xanthan gum (Jimbo's sells this)
1/2 tsp vanilla paste (I get mine from Trader Joe's: you want the one with "gum tragancanth" in it)
1 shot espresso
1/2 C milk
1 1/2 C ice
Mix sugar, cocoa, and xanthum gum until blended. Put in a blender with the vanilla, espresso, and milk and whirl until emusified. Add the ice and blend to desired consistency.
So: I've long been searching for the Peet's magic mix. The Peet's Freddo, for those who have not tried the drink, is a thousand times better than a Starbuck's Frappucino. For one thing, it uses real coffee and real milk; Starbucks' blend is made using only powders. But the difference goes further than that. The Peets' Freddo is creamy and fluffy, almost like a milkshake, while the Starbucks Frappucino is more like an icee.
I finally discovered the secret when, completely by chance, I came across a Peets up in Anaheim that was actually selling the freddo mix. I've never seen the stuff for sale before and never saw it again anywhere--this was just a lucky break. I took the mix home and tried it; it was identical to what they'll mix up for you in the coffee shop. All was wunderbar until I began to run out of the mix and discovered that Peets was no longer selling it--not even on their webpage.
So I decided to try to make my own, copying the ingredients list on the back. The ingredients list is as follows:
vanilla powder
cocoa powder
xanthan gum
guar gum
silicon dioxide (as an anticaking agent)
Xanthan gum is readily available; guar gum isn't. Together, the two interact to form that nice spongey effect I was seeking in the Peet's Freddo. But a little Google research showed that guar gum isn't the only option out there. Xanthan gum apparently has a "synergistic effect" when mixed with several other thickening agents as well, such as "gum tragancanth," the thickening agent used in Trader Joe's vanilla paste.
So voila! The recipe works. And I suspect it would also work used with Splenda instead of sugar, which would be a nice option (Peet's doesn't make a sugar-free Freddo--not even in the coffee shops).
I'll try that one next.

Thanks for posting the recipe... We dont' have Peets here in France and I really miss it!! On the other hand, there are about 35 Starbucks in Paris... but you're right... Fraps are not the same as Freddos!! I'm going to try your recipe! Ciao.. Leesa
Have you ever smoked a hookah before? The Godiva Raspberry Freddo tastes like hookah smoke! Very unusual, but interesting taste.
- skim said...
I went to trader joes but they said they don't have the vanilla paste. Which location do you go to?
- Rogger Mcloud said...
In Buenos Aires there is a place which is called Freddo and has the best ice-creams ever. Really, it is like a chain of shops, and it has delivery. I had a very good time there. I have rented some furnished apartments buenos aires, and I have eaten a lot of ice-cream.
- Kelsey said...
Freddos aren't made with expresso shots unless you get extra bold. They use very strong coffee. Which is actually more caffienated the

I used to work at Peet's and they DO use espresso shots, unless they have changed since I left?

Polio-like illness hits 20 California kids
More than a dozen children in California have developed an extremely rare, polio-like syndrome within the past year that within days paralyzed one or more of the children's arms or legs, Stanford University researchers say.
The illness is still being investigated and appears to be very unusual, but Dr. Keith Van Haren at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University warned Monday that any child showing a sudden onset of weakness in their limbs or symptoms of paralysis should be immediately seen by a doctor.
"The disease resembles but is not the same as polio," he said. "But this is serious. Most of the children we've seen so far have not recovered use of their arm or their leg."
But doctors are not sure if it's a virus or something else, he said. Van Haren says he's studied five cases from Monterey up through the San Francisco Bay Area, including two who were identified with the disease enterovirus-68, which is from the same family as the polio viruses. He said there have been about 20 cases statewide.

Pammie has appeared on the cover of Playboy a record 11 times, more than any other woman.
Baywatch, arguably Pammie's finest hour, was at one point watched in every continent on the planet bar Antarctica. That's right, Penguins have no taste.
She went on Dancing with the Stars in 2010, but was kicked off in the seventh week.
She's a natural brunette. A bit fake, we know.
Who can forget Pamela Anderson's acting masterclass in 2002's not-quite-a-cartoon-classic Scooby Doo? No? What about her heart-wrenching performance in 2008's Canadian-funded caper Blonde and Blonder… Still no? Just Baywatch and a badly shot bongo flick then. Fine.
It would be amazing feat to discuss Pammie and not mention her awe-inspiring, heart-stopping, 50% silicon breasts. So we won't. Though Pamela is the number 1 most downloaded woman ever, which might have something to do with her 'cans'. And those same breasts just might have persuaded Tommy Lee to marry her after knowing her only 72 hours. But that's just a guess, obviously. It could have been her thoughts on US foreign policy – we just don't know. On the plus side, she's very very hot. So that's good.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A consulting firm told Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet that tolls beginning at $1 are on target to help pay for the $2.6 billion Ohio River Bridges Project.
The cabinet said in a news release Tuesday that the firm of Steer Davies Gleave discussed the tolls as part of a traffic and revenue study it is doing for the state.
The study is not complete and rates have not been adopted. The toll rates will be set by the Kentucky-Indiana Joint Tolling Board.
Kentucky is responsible for the part of the project known as the Downtown Crossing, which includes a new bridge for northbound lanes of Interstate 65 between Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind., and reconfiguration of the John F. Kennedy Memorial Bridge to carry southbound I-65.

Former WWE Women's Champion, Sable — real name Rena Lesnar — made a rare public appearance today with husband Brock Lesnar.
The pair appeared at a Jimmy John's sandwich restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan today.
The 44-year-old has largely been out of the spotlight since leaving WWE in 2004, but has been seen ringside for some of Brock's past UFC fights. The pair have two children together.
Thoughts: Rena looks great! With Brock now back in WWE, I think the chances of her entering the Hall of Fame next year may be high if he is indeed involved in WrestleMania 29.
Wow she looks great!
wow. i saw her at one of his UFC shows not too long ago and she didn't look too good but looks great here. she looks just as good as she did when she came back in 2003
They're getting that WWE money again
Hahaha, money does a body good.
No surprise, she looks AMAZING!
She looks so pretty!
seblee (L) please come back
This woman never ages.
I'm amazed a woman at her stage in her life decided to have 2 more children! God bless them!
I love Sable! I'd love for her to have 1 more run in WWE then go into the Hall Of Fame :) She is 1 of my all time faves!
I want Torrie vs Sable II
Cannot believe how great she looks! Hard to believe she shas a 24 year old daughter.
Wow! She looks really good. She and Lilian Garcia must use the same fountain of youth or something.
Smart lady she got good plastic surgeons.
Or she just ages well, like Ivory did.
sables had alot of plastic surgery…look at her face at mania in that tag match..her face couldn't move at all..
Sable has either aged more gracefully than when we first saw her in WWE or she has some of the best plastic surgeons a former WWE Diva can buy. I wonder if she still has those beautiful abs that I remember seeing…that lady was FIT!
she does look good i must say. it would be a pity if they dont induct her whilst they have the chance to do so next WM. The person to induct her should be…….
sorry i wasn't supposed to reply to you. LOL
Its obvious her aging ain't natural! Girl!
This girl doesn't age because she looked 40 in 1998!
WOW, she looks amazing, still hot as ever, i really hope she makes an appearance, or returns at least
also apparently, Sable has been traveling with brock to all of the Raw shows :)
I personally think that sable should have been inducted by sunny!
the odds of that happening are equal to seeing dave meltzer give the Great Khali a 5star match rating.
hahaha, Sunny would be so damn pissed if that happened!!
I wish there was a contract in which it was written that she has to do that!

She looks amazing for her age. Give this woman a Hall of Fame induction already.
She hasn't really aged since she left, she must have some Black in her family jk. But seriously, the woman's only in her 40s, she can still have a youthful appearance and still look natural. Either way, she looks oh so Sablicious!
i was just thinking with Kharma returning in a few days, and with Sable at all the WWE events, how cool would it be for Sable to manage and be the mouth peice for Kharma
you would have kharma who is already over, and sable who was always super over, put them together, the reaction would be out of this world
Sable!! Man this woman is total Hollywood status! Looking sexy as hell!! I wouldnt compliment her in front of Brock or hed cream me..smh
I don't think she has aged naturally…she looks abit like joan rivers lol….
It's such a shame such a beautiful woman married such a douche. Brock sucks. And my respect for Sable was lost when she stayed married to that ass after what he said following that UFC fight. Disrespectful. I think she looks a lot thicker than she ever did… maybe she is depressed with Brock, I know I would be (if I were a woman). Hell I'm depressed he's on RAW period.
what did he say?
Am I the only one that doesn't like her in general?
