Australian Open 2012: Andrew's TV-report of the final
AUSTRALIAN OPEN (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia; outdoor hard (Plexicushion); Major)
Final TV-report: Sharapova v Azarenka (Saturday 28th January 2012)
- MARIA SHARAPOVA [4,EF] lt. VICTORIA AZARENKA [3,DF], 3-6 0-6
This was the only BBC-televised womens tennis match between Wimbledon 2011 and Wimbledon 2012, and therefore the best.
It had certainly promised to be a mouth-watering match: between Maria, who is my favourite active player, and Azarenka, who is one of my top-five favourites outside my Eternal Fanship. Azarenka has much in common with Maria in the way she plays, looks, and grunts.
Maria, by reaching the final, greatly exceeded the expectations that I had of her going into this Australian Open. On 29th September 2011, she retired from Tokyo with a left-ankle injury, and on 26th October 2011, she withdrew from the WTA Championships after losing her first two round-robin matches. When she pulled out of Brisbane with the same injury, her Australian Open prospects had looked very bleak. But to beat Petra Kvitová in the semi-finals, having lost to her in the Wimbledon final, was hugely significant.
The first set was an intense battle. Azarenka was a bundle of nerves to begin with, as she served two double faults in the first game of the match, and a third to go down 0:0 *0-2 0/30.
But from that point onwards, Azarenka suddenly and completely transformed herself. Marias game dropped a level, but to be honest, she wasnt allowed to play well. They both hit 14 winners, but Maria officially made 30 unforced errors to Azarenkas 12.
Maria, having gone from 0:0 2-0* to *2-3, came through a tough service-game of two deuces to hold for 3-3*. Azarenka held for 4-3* by winning the best rally of the match with a backhand lob-winner over Maria at the net.
They were playing at a very high level of intensity at that point, and a very high level of grunting. Im very pro-grunting (I started watching tennis as a fan of Monica Seles), and dismayed by the suggestions that it should be eliminated from the womens game.
Maria at 0:0 *3-4 had three game-points (including 40/15), but was broken after three deuces when Azarenka hit a fabulous crosscourt backhand volley-winner running backwards. Azarenka at *5-3 duly served out the first set to 15, and things went from bad to worse for Maria in the second.
Nothing worked for Maria in the second set. Plan A wasnt cutting it against an on-form Azarenka, whose defences were too strong for Maria to hit through. Marias occasional attempts to vary the pace or go to the net didnt work. She wasnt dominating with her serve, either, against one of the best returners in womens tennis.
The biggest difference was in the movement of the two players (some of which was due to Azarenkas superior anticipation). Plexicushion is a great surface for Maria (as we saw when she annihilated the competition in 2008), but the court wasnt playing fast enough for her to hit through Azarenka, and yet Maria wasnt fast enough to recover when Azarenka pushed her into the tramlines and then went for the open court (prime examples 1:0 *3-0 40/30 and 4-0* 15/15).
BBC commentator John Lloyd: There was nothing really that Sharapova could do to get Azarenka off the court. Azarenka got enough balls back, and got the balls back into awkward positions. Sharapova wins the majority of her points in the first two or three strikes, and Azarenka didnt let her do that. In the end, Sharapova had to keep going for way too much that was the only way she was going to win this match, and the percentages didnt stack in her favour.
Azarenka served for her first Major title and the WTAs #1 ranking at 1:0 *5-0. It looked like nerves might be getting the better of her when she left a huge gap to her left at 15/0, allowing Maria to hit a pinpoint forehand winner down the line. A turnaround seemed possible when Azarenka hit a tentative second serve and Maria a down-the-line backhand winner for 30/15*. It looked like providence was on Marias side when a dead netcord winner gave her a break-back point at 40/30*. But she squandered it by netting a cheap backhand, and Azarenka dominated the last two points to secure her victory, forcing Maria to net another backhand at championship-point.
Maria, like Azarenka, would have risen to #1 on Monday had she won the final. As it is, she will rise one place to #3 behind Kvitová, with outgoing world #1 Caroline Woźniacki falling to #4.
BBC presenter John Inverdale admitted that the womens game was in a very healthy state now after suffering a lull, and John Lloyd agreed with him.
First set
The match was third on the Rod Laver Arena. Both girls were very colourfully attired: Maria was wearing a luminous green visor with luminous green shoulder-straps on her white dress and luminous green shoelaces to match; Azarenka attempted to outdo her with a luminous yellow headband, blue shirt with white stripes down the sides, and came on court wearing a yellow hoodie, but lost the fashion-battle by wearing shorts.
Maria apparently won the toss and elected to receive, and the match started at 19:42 AEDT.
BBC commentator Andrew Castle: Were going to see nerves on display, and tremendous shotmaking.
Azarenka serving 0-0: Azarenka netted a backhand on the third stroke. 0/15. Maria sprayed a forehand very long. 15/15. Double fault #1 (wild second serve very long). 15/30. Azarenkas depth induced Maria to mishit an early forehand long. 30/30. Double fault #2 (second serve long). 30/40 (BP #1). Deep, firm second serve + crosscourt forehand deep into the corner for a virtual winner. Deuce #1. Maria hit a deep forehand just inside the baseline, forcing Azarenka to bunt a down-the-line forehand into the tramlines. Ad Sharapova (BP #2). Azarenka, on the third stroke, hit a down-the-line backhand long and wide. Broken.
BBC Two are televising this at such a low volume that Ive just had to turn my TV-volume up from my usual 35% to 45%.
Sharapova serving 1-0: Marias depth induced Azarenka to spray a wild crosscourt backhand wide. 15/0. Maria hit an off-forehand deep into the corner, forcing Azarenka to bunt a one-handed down-the-line backhand into the tramlines. 30/0. Kick second serve drew a return that sat up nicely for Maria to nail a deep forehand down the line, forcing Azarenka to hit a defensive one-handed backhand lob that landed by the umpires chair. 40/0 (GP #1). Double fault #1 (second serve into the top of the net). 40/15 (GP #2). Marias forehand was called long, but she successfully challenged: Hawk-Eye showed that it caught about 30% of the breadth of the baseline. So they replayed the point, which Maria won with a first serve out wide + off-forehand winner. Held.
Thomas Högstedt is still coaching Maria. Samuel Sumyk is still coaching Azarenka; his wife, former WTA player Meilen Tu, was also in Azarenkas box.

Second serve: Maria hit an off-forehand return into the tramlines. 40/30 (GP #1). Azarenka forced a floater, and hit a pinpoint forehand winner down the line. Held.
At 0/30 there, the BBC commentators were talking about the previous time that a Belarusian reached a Major singles-final: Natasha Zvereva lost the French Open 1988 final 6-0 6-0.
Sharapova serving 2-1: Azarenka won her fifth point in a row with a deep forehand that induced Maria to bunt a forehand long. 0/15. Azarenka opened up the court and hit an off-backhand winner. 0/30. Azarenkas depth induced Maria to net a backhand. 0/40 (BP #1). Azarenkas deep return forced Maria to hit a backhand just long; Maria wasted a challenge. Broken.

Deep 103mph first serve out wide forced Azarenka to earth a forehand return. 40/30 (GP #1). Azarenka hit a deep crosscourt backhand; Maria hit a defensive crosscourt backhand just long. Deuce #1. Maria got away with exposing her left side of the court as Azarenka netted a very makeable down-the-line forehand. Ad Sharapova (GP #2). Azarenkas depth induced Maria to hit an off-forehand wide. Deuce #2. Sharp-angled first serve out wide induced Azarenka to bunt a forehand return long. Azarenka told the umpire that it was a let, but the umpire said she didnt hear it. Ad Sharapova (GP #3). Ace #1: first serve down the middle, on the service-line. Held.
A vital game for Maria to reestablish her momentum. It would have been disastrous if shed gone from 2-0* to 2-4*.
Azarenka serving 3-3: Azarenkas deep forehand induced Maria to hit a backhand long. 15/0. Maria tried to mix up the pace with a slow, short-angled crosscourt backhand, but it didnt work: Azarenka hit a short-angled crosscourt backhand just inside the sideline, forcing Maria to hit a defensive backhand very long. 30/0. Maria forced a floater, and dispatched it with an off-forehand drive-volley winner. 30/15. Azarenka hit a forehand long. 30/30.

Held.
Sharapova serving 3-4 (new balls): Deep first serve forced Azarenka to earth a backhand return a virtual ace. 15/0. Double fault #2 (big, flat second serve just long). 15/15. Azarenka appeared to take the initiative with an off-backhand just inside the sideline, but Maria replied with a pinpoint crosscourt forehand onto the sideline, forcing Azarenka into the tramlines to hit a rather weak forehand down the line; Maria, running to her left, nailed a down-the-line backhand winner back behind Azarenka. 30/15.

Azarenka hit a second serve onto the service-line, inducing Maria to slap a forehand return into the net. Azarenka won the first set 6-3 at 20:29 AEDT (46m).
John Lloyd: Azarenka is soaking up the pressure; shes counterpunching brilliantly, and getting Sharapova on the move. Even though Sharapovas mind is incredible and shes not going to obviously back away, its difficult right now to see how Sharapovas going to get back into this match, because she doesnt seem to be able to find a way to get Azarenka off the court. The movement from Azarenka is brilliant.

Held.
Sharapova serving 0-4: Maria spread Azarenka with an off-backhand + crosscourt backhand, tried to go back behind Azarenka with an off-forehand, but netted it horribly. 15/0.

Marias speech
Thank you. First of all, the first congratulation goes to Victoria. It is an honour to play against you. Youve earned the title. Youve worked so hard for it over the years. Its a real honour to have your name on that trophy. Congratulations, and cherish it for as long as you can.
As in any sport, you have your good days, you have your tough days, and you have days where just things dont work out. Today, Victoria was better on so many levels, and just played too good. As an athlete, to be at this stage it all comes down to the last two athletes, and [the] winner takes it all, out of all the players that are in the draw. To stand here after so many years its a few years since Ive been back on this stage Ive had great moments here; Ive had tough losses, and this was another one. But theres no doubt that I will be back and performing in front of all you guys; it means so much to me.
Melbourne has been my home away from home for the last month, and I couldnt have asked for a better home for a month. Many thanks to my team: my coach Thomas [Högstedt], Vladimir [Voltchkov], Max [Eisenbud] and Juan [Reque]; my mother and my father, who always believed in me, no matter if I play tennis or went to school or whatever I did; my fiancé I cant wait to see you soon; and all my friends that support me from over the years I love you; were gonna have so many great moments. And, of course, everyone that makes this even happen: all the sponsors and Kia, and anyone I forgot; all the volunteers, drivers, ballkids, umpires. All of you: thank you so much, and I cant wait to be back.
Azarenkas speech
Well... <she paused and giggled>. First, I want to congratulate Maria and thank you for such a kind words [sic]. Its been a great two weeks, you did really well, and Im sure were gonna have many more finals. I wish you good luck for the rest of the year.
I would like to thank my team. Sam [Sumyk], J.P. [Jean-Pierre Bruyère], Meilen [Tu], Susan [?] and John [Tobias]. You guys [have] been supporting me for so long and believing in me. It made me realise that I can believe in myself, and... I can finally raise this trophy.
I wanna thank my parents, who are watching for sure now; my friends; my boyfriend; and my grandmother: the person who inspires me the most in my life. Babushka, ja tebja ljublju [Grandmother, I love you].
Of course, I would like to thank all the sponsors, Kia, ANZ, for making such an amazing event. Ive been loving to come back since I was a junior, and I cant wait to be back next year. I had an amazing month in Australia, and its a dream come true. Thank you so much.
And, of course, all the volunteers, all the drivers. I hope you guys enjoyed my doughnuts. Ive been feeding you forever these two weeks. I know you gained weight, but I know it makes you smile every time. All the ladies in the locker-room, the physios, the ballkids, the linesmen. I know were hard on you sometimes, but without you, we wouldnt be playing out here. Thank you so much.
Of course, for the crowd. Every time I step on this court yeah, there you go, come on! <the crowd cheered loudly>
Thank you so much. Youve been an inspiration, and I cant wait to be back. Thanks again.

Byron Smith earned a full exemption to the 2013 Web.com Tour in the PGA Tour's Q-school this week, and that's good news for Smith. it means he won't have to try to Monday qualify for that tour, as he has done for the last five years, and he won't have to spend his time playing events in Canada or on the PGA Tour's latinoamerica Tour.
That is what it means, isn't it?
Well, not exactly. Here's what it means.
Smith, like any other can now play the early part of the Web.com Tour season. He is guaranteed eight starts on that tour, with many of the early event in Central or South America. But after those starts, the Web.com will do what is called in the golf business a reshuffle. What that means is that players new to the tour through the Q-school will be moved around in their ranking for tournament entry. So a player who was, say, No. 1 out of the Q-school in ranking could easily fall to 40th if he doesn't take advantage of his starts. And a player who is 40th can quickly move up the ranking ladder with a good tournament or two.
Those new rankings will then be caddied into the next 10 or 12 events on the tour. So even a player who earn a full exemption to the Tour can find himself pretty much frozen out when the season is halfway over because of poor play.
That's only slightly different than what happens on the PGA Tour, where a reshuffle can do the same thing, take the top player from qualifying and through a few poor starts turn that played into an afterthought on the tour.
But on the PGA Tour, there are plenty of exempt status categories ahead of the Q-school grads. On the Web.com Tour, there are few exempt categories to begin with. So Web.com players can probably continue to get into a few events even if they are shuffled down the ladder.
Of course the best way to not worry about the reshuffle is to play well. Hopefully that's what Smith can do and he can not only keep his Web.com status but move up to the PGA Tour in 2014.

Less well known than Tratorria, similar prices, more comfortable in terms of seating and less crowded. Good pizza oven, I also like the octopus and potato salad.
The Pizzas were good and the service was quite fast.
We had some bruscetta (some burned edges ) and 2 Pizza.
Overall nothing special but OK.
We stopped at Sasa while walking around on our first night in Seminyak. The pizza - when it finally arrived! - was great, having been cooked in the in-house wood fire pizza oven. Good selection of pizzas on the menu, too. The service was slow: slow to seat us, slow to take our order and slow to serve food. I...
Fantastic restaurant. Unfortunately our experience was hindered by a group of obnoxious English people who deemed it necessary to talk to the lovely waiters like bushpigs. And in front of their children too, didn't their parents teach them manners? Aside from this, the food was lovely and service was quick and friendly. The pizzas are recommended
Sasa has been our favorite Italian Restaurant for years, be it for dinners in the restaurant or home delivery of pastas and pizzas. We loved the wide choice of traditional italian dishes,
the humble and simple but nice atmosphere as well as the service quality of the staff.
Since several months we've had the impression that the home-delivered Pizzas are...
Good value, delicious wood fired pizzas. We went two nights in a row as the kids were in the pizza mood. Nice light, woodfired pizzas. Favourite pizzas: Fresh, Caprese, Margarita. Friendly and efficient service.
Finally a restaurant in Bali that respects peoples wishes to be smoke free with a glassed off section for non smokers. We ate here purely because of it! Good was good, drinks reasonably priced and good service.
We had 2 pizzas first order one was right one was wrong so they made another one. Ham & Pineapple was crap, dry and no taste. Capriosca came out later and was not too bad but not up to Bali standards, where pizzas are normally fabulous. Desserts were ok one cream brûlée ok, other one curdled! Ordered drinks that never...
Tried this little Italian wood oven restaurant and discovered their seafood soup. No joke it was just like seafood bouillabaisse and only about $5 Australian, super delicious and such a bargain. Located in Seminyak Bali.
Was pretty disappointed in this place. We went with friends one night. Two people were served in about ten minutes everyone else about 45 minutes later. Food was average at best. Felt like telling people coming in to walk the other way.

It definitely makes sense to keep an active shopping list directly on the iPhone! All week long new items can be added via the app. After all, the iPhone is always handy. There is no more ketchup, we are out of noodles, and the kids want more chips! No problem: there is no easier, faster or more convenient way to include everything on the weekly shopping list.
Establishing a shopping list, by utilizing the available shopping assistants, generally includes the following problem: it only works on ONE iPhone. Family and friends do not have the option to add items to the list, or to pass on a last minute shopping request to the person in the supermarket.
Share&Shopping, the new iPhone app, finally does it right. Several people are able to install the app on their devices and share a common list, without having to perform a time-consuming registration. Lists are synchronized with each other via their own server, and backed up in the iCloud. As soon as a member of the group changes or adds an item, everybody else's shopping lists will be automatically updated. A great feature: a push alert keeps everyone up-to-date regarding any new entries.
Share&Shopping: 1,000 products to quickly generate a list:
Creating a new shopping list and adding items to it is more than easy. The app comes equipped with an integrated list of over 1,000 products. Simply entering the letters "Sa" in the app will result in being presented with products like "Salami", "Salad", "Salt" or "Sardines", to choose from. Establishing even the most extensive shopping list will be a piece of cake - so to speak.
When doing the actual shopping a short swipe to the right checks off a product as "bought". A second swipe pushes the entry out of the visible area and deletes it.
Incidentally, the entire shopping list may be send out by e-mail, posted on Twitter and Facebook, printed via AirPrint or send as an SMS to another cell phone.
Bernhard Harrer says, "Automatically synchronizing a shopping list with multiple iPhones is the missing feature, which will help this kind of app to achieve a breakthrough. Never before has digital shopping been more comfortable, than with Share&Shopping."
Share&Shopping 1.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category. The free app includes advertising and only accommodates a shopping list with a maximum of ten items. The Pro-Version of the app can be activated via in-app purchase for $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies), without advertising and without limitation.

7 Decadent Dessert-Only Restaurants
At these restaurants you don't have to finish your dinner in order to get dessert
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Have you ever felt like skipping dinner and going straight to dessert? Good news: dessert-only restaurants are located around the country, offering sweet and decadent dinner menus, minus the dinner. At these designated dessert restaurants, it is not only possible, but required, to go straight for the sweets.
Click here to see the 7 Decadent Dessert-Only Restaurants (Slideshow)
Don Tillman, owner of New York's first dessert restaurant ChikaLicious Dessert Bar, says the idea of opening a dessert-only restaurant started with the question of "what if?"
"I found myself asking, what if you could get a four-star-restaurant-quality dessert without having to endure the expense of the requisite meal first?" Tillman said.
ChikaLicious was the first designated dessert restaurant to open in New York, in 2003, but in other cities, dessert restaurants have been around much longer: Boston's Finale opened its doors for the city's sweet lovers in 1998.
Just like regular restaurants, these dessert restaurants all have unique menus, styles, and signature dishes. At Swoon Dessert Bar in San Diego, Calif., the menu revolves around creative combinations of seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, and at The Solstice in Chicago, candy-flavored martinis such as Peanut Butter Cup and Banana Foster add an element of extra sweetness to the indulgent menu. And to make your dining experience that much sweeter, most of the spots on this list also offer wine, beer, and coffee to go with their menu options.
ChikaLicious' Tillman said it best: "No matter the fad diet, people will always require their sweets."

9. 1990 Hale Irwin vs. Mike Donald
280-280 (Irwin won playoff on 19th hole)
Prior to the 1990 U.S. Open at Chicago's Medinah No. 3, Hale Irwin's public persona projected all the pizzazz of an insurance salesman. One putt shattered that perception. The 45-year-old Irwin had been awarded a special exemption to play but he wasn't supposed to win. Then again, neither was journeyman Mike Donald.
Irwin came to the final regulation hole needing a 45-foot birdie putt for a 67. Astonishingly, he rolled it in. The gallery went berserk, and unexpectedly, so did Irwin. He galloped around the green, raising his arms in joy and high-fiving spectators. Donald later tied him and even matched Irwin's 74 in the Monday playoff, but on the first extra hole Irwin became the oldest U.S. Open winner ever.

Mila Kunis against men saying "we are pregnant"
"Hermione - he's one of the best Seekers in the world! I had no idea he was still at school!"
When the time comes, I'm sure I'll kill just like everybody else. I can't go down without a fight. Only I keep wishing I could think of a way to show the Capitol they don't own me. That I'm more than just a piece in their Games.
Fangirl challenge [10] Tv shows Breaking Bad
"I have spent my whole life scared, frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not happen, 50-years I spent like that. Finding myself awake at three in the morning. But you know what? Ever since my diagnosis, I sleep just fine. What I came to realize is that fear, that's the worst of it. That's the real enemy. So, get up, get out in the real world and you kick that bastard as hard you can right in the teeth."

The Big One is back to being the Big One. Reds flagship WLW-AM (700) bounced back into first place in April Arbitron ratings, with the opening of the baseball season. WLW-AM earned a 13.1% audience share, up from 9.4% in March. Classic hits WGRR-FM (105.3), which beat WLW-AM in March, finished a strong second again. […]

About MeI've been writing about TV/media/radio for more than 20 years. I consider it the best beat in town, even better than covering the Reds. I grew up in Middletown, where I watched Cincinnati and Dayton TV. I don't have a formal education in broadcasting, like most TV viewers. After earning a journalism degree from Ohio University in 1975, I started at the Cincinnati Enquirer as a summer intern. I covered county government and the suburbs (including the arrival of cable TV), and later was the suburban editor and features section editor. In 1985, I returned to writing as TV critic. For many years, I attended TV press tours in Los Angeles to preview new fall shows and to visit TV studios. Some of my favorite stories are from going to the sets of "Seinfeld" "Raymond," "The West Wing," "Cheers," and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and interviewing George Clooney, David Letterman and Jay Leno.

"I'm just over here being fabulous." - Alexandra
I love the ocean spray in my hair from the beach and not a bottle. I love dying my hair as the mood suits me. I love dressing up AND down. I love living in bathing suits. I'm a Wildfox Girl.
(via wildfox)
I work for a wholesale clothing company doing the marketing, catalogs, photo shoots. Not a bad first job!
Top - Unknown brand - Goodwill, Tempe - $2.49
Shorts - Vince - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $1
Belt - Gap - My mother's closet - FREE
Earrings - Forever 21 - Forgot price now
Necklace - Gift (H&M maybe?)
Purse - L.A.M.B. - Last Chance - $99.97
I purchased this shirt at 50% off day seeing the potential. It sat untouched in my closet forever before I finally cut out the lining and gave it new life. Now it's one of my favorites.
I swear I own other shorts. I just happened to post a picture from last week and this one back to back (or at least, I think back to back). Also, I would have forgotten the price on this purse had Last Chance not told me by writing it in Sharpie next to the label instead of inside a zippered pocket. Thank you lazy worker.
Scarf - Brightly Twisted - Last Chance - $10
Tank - Goodwill, Tempe - $2.49
So the shorts I definitely cut from jeans. It was hard slicing into Vince but the $1 price tag helped. The tank? Also a custom project. I found it at Goodwill and decided it needed some fringe to kick it up a notch. I completed it with a scarf.
I love that I get to wear outfits like this to work. Ignore the boxes in the background. They're gone now, just turned around to check.
Dress - Angie - $18ishhh
Shoes - Miss Trish of Capri for Target - So long ago, I forgot
Earrings - Forever 21 - $5.80 but don't hold me to it
If you haven't met my friend Morgan, you should know two things about her; one, she overshares, and two, she designs clothes. She designed this dress for the company I work for, Angie, and I just had to have it. I wore it to my sister's pregaming of graduation and it draws compliments. So you go Morgan!
Top - Forever 21 - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $6
Skirt - Cooperative (Originally at Urban Outfitters) - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $6
Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell - Last Chance - $18
Necklace - Goodwill - $2.49
Bracelet - Tiffany & Co - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $30 ish
Earrings - Forever 21 and Pearl - Mismatched
If you STILL have not headed to your nearest resale shop DO IT. Everything I'm wearing is current season. A lot pieces people buy, decide they can't wear, and sell because they took off the tags. My skirt is a prime example. I LOVE the paper bag waist and did I mention it still had tags attached!
The shoes I am also enamored with. I wear them with everything. They are platform wedges and cost me a whopping $18 at Last Chance. They even still had the Nordstrom sticker on the bottom.
Tank - Goodwill, Tempe, AZ - $2
Skirt - Gaia - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe, AZ - $1
Sandals - Rainbows - Last Chance - $4.97
I saw this tank, fell in love with it, then gave it fringe. The skirt is custom too. It was too big and too long so I shrunk it and cut it to fit. This is what I wore to the adult Easter egg hunt. I'm really into maxi dresses and maxi skirts lately so this is right up my alley.
Dress - My Story - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $13
Scarf - Brightly Twisted - Last Chance - $9.97
Shoes - Rainbows - Last Chance - $4.97
Purse - Nordstrom - Last Chance - $19.97
Glasses - Ray Ban Wayfarers - Yes, I need them to see.
I was all about being comfortable today. Easter weekend took a lot out of me. I am SO tired from my adult hunt (think hidden beer and Four Loko) and Easter dinner.
Also, I want to point out that no one should ignore shopping at Buffalo. This dress was one of their new styles that they sell. They are always on trend and since they have multiple stores, they have the buying power to sell dresses really inexpensively. This one was originally $25, but I got a steal on it since it was marked half off!
Dress - H&M - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $17
Boots - Old Gringo - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $50
Headband - Last Chance - $0.97
Ring - Forever 21 - $1.80
I love this dress. It is so pretty. While not the most flattering dress, it always gets compliments. I've worn it twice since I got it last Saturday is how obsessed with it I am. Last time I wore it with some cute flats but today the Texan in me settled on cowboy boots and turquoise!
Shorts - See by Chloe - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $1
Blouse - Banana Republic - Buffalo Exchange, Tempe - $1
Sweater - Flounce - Last Chance - $Forgot
I'd like to start off by saying that these shorts currently sell for $160. Now the rest of my story …
This last Saturday was Buffalo Exchange's annual $1 sale to benefit charity. Everything outside is only $1. Needless to say, I ignore sizes and grab labels. I scored these See by Chloe shorts, some Current/Elliot jeans, Marc Jacobs pants, and so many other amazing finds. Most of my stuff was brand new with tags!

Changes possible after public comments on planned interstate changes in Kannapolis
KANNAPOLIS Comments from the public and business owners may lead to changes in the N.C. Department of Transportations plans to drastically alter three interchanges when Interstate 85 is widened.
Division Engineer Louis Mitchell, whose district includes Cabarrus County where the three Kannapolis interchanges are located, said this past week that feedback from recent public information sessions and meetings with elected officials will be considered as the planning process continues.
In a phone interview Thursday morning, Mitchell said the preliminary designs reflected existing traffic counts and land uses in the area.
Our paramount goal for this area is mobility across this corridor, Mitchell said. Based on our numbers and the best judgment, we think (the proposed plans) are the best solution.
Those plans have been sharply criticized by some in the area. Some residents of the Forest Brook neighborhood are unhappy with a planned off-ramp that they say would lower their property values by increasing noise.
Other homeowners, however, have spoken out in support of the plan, saying the construction of nearby stores had already lowered their property values and that they would prefer the states plans to other options.
Mitchell said he had received a letter from five property owners in Forest Brook who support the proposed design, though he did not specify their names.
At Mondays Kannapolis City Council meeting, local resident Grant Rader whos leading a group of residents opposed to the plan said the state had failed to properly notify businesses, including the Lowes Home Improvement store, of the impending change.
Mitchell said the state did, in fact, notify Lowes corporate office and all of the property owners directly impacted by the project.
But, he said, its impossible to know whether Lowes store staff were notified by the company of the impending change.
I wont get into debating back and forth over who was notified, Mitchell said.
Regarding noise and the proximity of homes to the planned ramp, Mitchell said that at this stage of planning, all options are on the table.
We will be considering noise as it relates to the remaining parcels we do not demolish, Mitchell said.
Other criticisms were raised Monday by Kannapolis City Council members, especially concerning a plan to use roundabouts 60-foot traffic circles to control traffic at the Lane Street interchange, exit 63.
Mitchell said the circles are preferred because they allow more traffic to flow through an intersection than a stoplight.
In addition, theres a safety advantage to a traffic circle, Mitchell said, explaining that the roundabouts make it much more difficult for one vehicle to crash into another at high speed.
It doesnt prevent all crashes, but it can reduce the severity, Mitchell said.
He said the states transportation department is moving toward having more traffic circles at intersections, for those reasons.
At the same time, Mitchell said, the traffic circles are designed to be safe for large trucks of the kind that frequent the Lane Street exit, where the Pilot truck stop is located.
Mitchell said the new roundabouts are also designed with a movable apron thats safe for trucks.
So, the comment that trucks cannot safely navigate them, thats a layperson speaking, Mitchell said. We have the empirical evidence on the ground that trucks can safely navigate them.
Rader, who is part of an effort to oppose the plans for exit 60, said the N.C. Department of Transportation had agreed to hold another information session the following night, Tuesday.
However, no representative from the transportation department was in attendance.
Mitchell confirmed that no one had attended from Division 10, based in Albemarle.
I dont know what promises were made from our Raleigh staff, Mitchell said.
Kannapolis Director of Public Works Wilmer Melton said that he stepped in and did his best to try to explain the project to the group of citizens who attended.
Also in the audience were several of the areas elected officials.
Among them was District 76 Rep. Fred Steen, who represents Rowan County in the N.C. General Assembly.
Steen sent an email Tuesday to N.C. Transportation Secretary Gene Conti stating his concerns about the plan.
While we are glad to have the widening I think we have way overdone some of this project with roundabouts at interchanges while neglecting other portions along (Interstate 85) Steen wrote.
In particular, Steen mentioned the request for an interchange near Old Beatty Ford Road, which he said has been discussed for a long time.
Many MPO members were not informed on these modifications and were caught off guard and are upset with the entire system, Steen wrote in his email to Conti.
Steens elected successor, Carl Ford, was also reportedly in attendance, as was Rep. Linda Johnson, who represents Cabarrus in the legislature.
Melton said he felt most residents understood that these recommendations are from Raleigh, not from Kannapolis.
He also said hed spoken with Mitchell after Mondays council session and reiterated the citys qualms with the plan.
In addition to expressing the concerns residents had shared, Melton said he had spoken to things the city would like to see addressed.
The sooner we can address those concerns, the better, Melton said.
But, Melton said, the city is not at a point of flat-out opposing the plan.
We dont need to disrupt commerce, we dont want to have residents displaced unnecessarily, Melton said.
Melton said the next step will be to meet with Department of Transportation staff in Raleigh to begin reviewing the concerns expressed at a series of public information sessions this month.
Depending on the types of comments, Mitchell said, and the type of options that would require a lot of time.
Right now, we hope to have this project go to letting in June of 2013, Mitchell said.
That deadline might have to be pushed back, he said, if a major redesign is the result of those discussions.
Our interest is in delivering this transportation improvement in a timely fashion, Mitchell said. The cities have impressed upon us for years that we need to see this changed were trying to deliver the project in a timely fashion.

Kpdf opens that file without a problem (I can't tell you if the contents will display on a entirely correct form). Besides trying another viewer, I can't suggest anything. I don't know if there's a way that the Acrobat viewer could substitute a font that is supposed to be embedded on the document itself by a external equivalent (or the same) font.
To use any ttf font, though, you can just put it into ~/.fonts/, but I highly doubt that that will help with Acrobat.

Words cannot begin to describe who you are
My mind is so limited and self-absorbed
In fact, I mustn't know anything of you at all
We can observe each other and depict patterns
We can predict each other's faults and value
We can say we can figure out one another
But all we know of really is ourselves
I know that you are a kind person
From what I see, you are perfect
I fear that my self-absorbed opinion of you
Is altogether wrong
I fear that everything I think of you
Is a lie—an ignorant assumption of you
Within billions a thought is traced within the light
Not nearly brushing against insight
I don't believe I ever really knew you
Through these blank words and verses
All I know is myself
Though I often fear. . .
That that in itself is the lie
That I am the lie
For all I've ever known,
There is a word we can each describe of us

Raid Prep
Was reading some Druid Main just now, and Icedragon had a post about raid prep IRL. This is totally too long for a comment, but I can't really mention parts about my raid prep. It feels so wrong to not go through with the whole deal, which I guess is a good thing that it's habit to do it all and not just parts of it.
Food Collection: Noms Away
My guild raids at 8. Well, invites are at 8 anyway, but in order to accept an invite (or in this case, whisper it) you have to be at your computer, and then it's only 10-15min to the first pull anyway. So at 6, I plan to have dinner or be on my way to getting dinner. 7 is the absolute latest for pickup dinner food.
Why so early? Because eating at my computer, although I kind of do it, is not cool. I'm next to my computer, but I've got my chair turned or backed off from the desk or something so me being a clutz doesn't affect my computer. I hold my bottle of drinkage in one hand, the cap in the other, and the cap is only removed because my mouth is in contact with it.
"Food Collection" however is also snack food. It's making sure my IRL raid consumables are on my shelf in the kitchen. (Yeah, my shelf, it's what happens when you share an apartment with people.) My drink of choice tends to be Dr Pepper — I know water or milk or something would be better, but it's got a bite to it that I like. I also make sure I have cookies or crackers or a bagel or whatever I can just grab from running downstairs before I run back up again.
If I gotta go to the grocery store to grab snacks, I do it by 7. Just makes it easier when I'm not freaking out because I'm not quite hungry now, but there won't be enough time to run to Subway in the middle of the raid.
Connection Stuff: Hey, I'm Tawkin' Eer!
That sounds vague, but it's stuff I need to connect my real life body to the in-game raid.
This means Vent. I try to be logged into Vent a good 10-15min before the raid invites. Just logged in, not necessarily in a channel, just on Vent. So at worst, if I have to afk and come back late, I just have to drop into a channel. No biggie.
Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I keep my main Vent info (my guild only, usually) crap together in a text file with Vent, and then it's also in my password program holder thingy. Along with things like my authenticator number doohickie and, y'know, passwords. I keep PuG Vents, though I don't log onto them except for a PuG raid with them. If it's a guild run mostly, it gets named after the guild; if it looks more like a personal Vent or not really a guild run, it gets named something stupid like TotC pug or Naxx pug 2 or whatever generic name. Haven't pugged a raid in a while, though.
Vent means…headset. Keep your headset somewhere consistent, in a drawer, on a shelf, wherever. Mine's on a hook on my desk now. I've had a couple of nights where 5 min. before pulling I can't find my headset, only to stumble upon it later during the afk break.
Connection Stuff also means my addons. I make sure what I want to raid with is up to date, and I use Addon Control Panel to switch my personal profile to "Pone raid," which loads only what I need for raiding. So no AH addons, no Gearscore, not even Postal, no Lightheaded, no roleplaying addons, no addons I just downloaded to play with, etc.
Make sure if you use some sort of points loot system that you have the addon for it running. For example, Conspiracy uses EPGP, so I make sure that's loaded in my raid set of addons.
Finally "Connection Stuff" means my me-to-outside-world connection stuff. I close Firefox and only open it for a few minutes if I want to check which raid group I'm in. I close TweetDeck, and make sure it is closed / exited, not minimized to the taskbar. All my computer health stuff — Spybot, MSSE, Malware Bytes, backup schedule, CCleaner, Defraggler, etc. — is scheduled for outside of raid time. If the dumb Windows Update thingy pops up, I tell it not to talk to me for another 4 hours. I make sure it's just WoW, Vent, and my desktop.
A word on instant messengers: I used to just put myself as "Away." It worked most of the time. Every once in a while, despite having a "Raiding" away message, somebody would send me an IM while raiding. So the IM window pops in my face, on top of WoW, because I play WoW as maximized window mode. (Yay small laptops.)
So I'd spend half the time going "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK STOP IT STOP IT GO AWAYYYYYYYYYY," before the window would finally load into existence (wtb Windows not freezing), then I could click back to WoW, and then find somebody dead or myself dead or some raid leader wondering why the fuck I didn't move out of the Malleable Goo right away.
Now I close Pidgin entirely, just like TweetDeck. If they really need me, they'd call. Calling = incessant phone buzz; texting = bit of phone buzz. It's never failed yet.
Mental Zone: Time to Game
This tends to be more in-game than out-of-game, but I focus more on my toon being ready and it gets me ready.
Pee! Especially with a soda as my primary drink, I'm gonna wanna. Yeah, any good raid will have an afk break or two, but start out on empty.
Consumables: Flasks / Elixirs, Pots, Fish Feasts, Personal Food.
I make sure I have enough to last both the entire raid time (~4 hrs worth of flasks covers it and maybe a weekly raid or something) and multiple wipes. My druid makes the flasks: 2 for her, 4 for Pone, per raid. Pots = at least a stack each of health, mana, speed, & wild magic. Usually there's a few people in the raid also with Fish Feasts, but I try to have a stack of Feasts when I walk in.
I also have at least a stack of my personal food, but probably not more than 2 stacks. Both specs, though I don't raid on my druid right now, but I still keep around both tree food and bear food. I also make sure I have a stack of non-strudel Strudels. Conjured Mana Strudel is 22.5k health & 19.2k mana; so are Grilled Bonescale, Sauteed Goby, or Smoked Rockin. None of them require spices, and you get these fish while you're out fishing for Feast fishies, so I really don't care if the mage isn't here. I grab 80 actually-strudel Strudels when there is a table, but those are more habit from grabbing food for switching healers than actually needing them.
Yeah, I fish a lot. I find it calming, actually.
On my warlock this also means having a full shard bag. She's a tailor, so it wasn't hard to get myself a 32 shard bag. I've gotten myself below 20 shards in a raid before, and aside from chain-questing for Loremaster, I've never really run out of bag space enough times to complain about OMG SHARDS DON'T STACK.
Gear: make sure it's enchanted and gemmed properly. Make sure it's repaired. Also, make sure I have my Pawn scales up to date in case anything cool drops. Look over some boss lists in case I have anything I want as possible drops. I have an index card per boss, usually, with what I like that drops and how much I want it (major/minor upgrade, that sort of thing).
Sheesh, yes, I'm kinda paranoid when it comes to raid prep.
Boss mods: not just making sure DXE is loaded, but being mentally aware of what I'm supposed to do. Knowing boss strategies or at least boss abilities. Targeting macros (e.g. Putricide Oozes) and usable objects (e.g. Jetpack), make sure they're still working and in easy to find locations. I try out my oh shit keybinds (Demonic Teleport, Soulshatter, etc.); sometimes Bind Pad unbinds it for dumb unknown reasons. Better to find out now than in raid when I need it.
Also be at the raid instance or on the way there. For one, I'm a warlock, and with that stupid phase trick in Icecrown, having a warlock is awesome. I don't mind, I mean, I have 32 shards, it's no biggie. I really don't mind summoning for guildies.
Fun Stuff: Iron Boot Flask, a stack of Noggenfogger Elixir, Blue Crashin' Thrashin' Racer Controller, Pygmy Oil, Baby Spice, Unusual Compass, Old Spice sometimes, etc. Things for trash pulls or for cheering up when Putricide is being an ass. I /dance a lot, not because I'm spastic or because I'm being dumb, but because HEY CHEER UP IT'S A GAME ENJOY IT. No need to be freaking out and grumpy the entire raid.
I'm saving for a train set, y'know. Heh heh heh…
So long as it doesn't terribly affect my raiding abilities, it's good fun. For example, Super Simian Sphere usually only gets pulled in heroics, because in order to use it, I have to trade one of my trinkets (hit trinket or Illustration of the Dragon Soul). Bad idea on an ICC boss. Outside of heroics, it gets pulled on downtime. It only lasts 5 min anyway.
Actually /AFK: When it's break time, regardless of whether I need to refill my snacks/drinks or maybe I don't actually have to pee, I should get up and walk around. Stretch your body, but also just don't think about whatever is going wrong in the raid. Relax. Breathe a bit. Then come back (don't be late!) and focus.
Post-Raid: Replenishment & Tranquility
I believe that raiding is like exercise in that just stopping after you do it is a bad thing. You gotta warm up before you raid, and you gotta cool down after you raid. Dailies (including the Random Heroic) are typically done before raid, but in case I didn't, I'll go do some dailies to wind down.
New Gear: go enchant and gem that new piece that just dropped. My warlock enchants, and between my warlock and my druid, I can fund gem-buying. Or I can go take the triumph emblems that I don't need on my warlock and go buy uncut gems and search Trade or Guild for a JC with the cuts I like.
Boss Mods Recap: World of Logs or Recount/Skada or knowing the Malleable Goo was causing me issues, or having some trouble on this one strategy. Look things up on the web, is what it comes down to. What could I do better is my goal.
Flask Monkey: my druid goes and makes a batch every week for a week's worth of raids plus a few backups for Pone. She keeps a raid's worth for herself (both specs) just in case, but it hasn't happened yet. She also makes the preferred battle/guardian elixirs for bear/tree in heroics. Pots too, though she's not pot-specced.
Go Fish: it really is calming. For me, anyway, some music, or a podcast, or a DVD stuck in my laptop, and…fishing. It's repetitive enough that I can think, ponder, percolate, but interactive enough to have to be awake to be productive with it. Like flasks I tend to do the cooking as a week's batch at a time, but I fish throughout the week. Sometimes I just go see if I can catch Mr. Pinchy, or I go read the coins in the Dalaran fountain.
This seems like a lot. It's not really. The most bothersome is the consumables, because I make my own foods & flasks & pots & the enchanting part of enchants. When new bosses come out, then yeah, it takes a bit to read up on them all and figure out what drops are cool, but that's only for the first three or so nights you face them.
First Conspiracy/ICC Raid was fun
Seriously, the only boss I'd seen as an avatar before was Marrowgar. XD
My highlights:
Marrowgar always follows me during Bone Storm. I swear, I can't get away from him.
I must have been watching the 25man versions of Lady Deathwhisper, because it was totally not as complicated on 10man as I thought.
Gunship: I was relieved that the jetpack has a target mechanic and doesn't just boost your own jumping. I've only failed once on Thaddius (due to massive lag) and I was determined not to fail-jump ship. Except I stayed on the boat, so it's good.
Saurfang = I got to CC! Yay Demonic Portal for kiting.
Blue Gas Frogger = fail walking out first and just dying. Then I realized it was Frogger 2.0. Oops.
Precious & Stinky weren't as awful as I've heard stories. Then again, this is "only" 10man.
Festergut was cool, I got to cuddle with Jin & Liss whenever the spore came out and I vomited a few times.
Rotface was interesting, though I got debuffed in the middle of or just after a phase transition so I had a minor "OMFG WHERE IS THE OT" heart attack.
Putricide took a few wipes, partially because I hadn't done it before. On one of the wipes I died due to bad luck (bouncing ooze while I was green-ooze-linked = >.< FUCK), so Liss tried to brez me, but…uh…that gas phase thingy hit, and I rezzed into a DoT that wtfpwned me before I could hit the healthstone. Sucky part = my healthstone got counted as used. WTF BLIZZ. But yeah…once I got the hang of all the moving and junk, Putricide was hilarious fun. I could seriously do that fight all day and not get bored.
Blood Princes were a little frustrating in the beginning. I had disco ball duty, and at first I thought the orange balls were part of the deal, but it's just the white ones. I also had issues when both balls appeared on my side of the room and I was supposed to get them because it just took a "little more effort." Yeah. Felpuppies don't run quickly, and the balls almost always spawned on the complete opposite side from me (i.e., I was at the top running away from the blast thing, the ball spawns near the door). I eventually got it to siccing Bheez on the *far* or higher up ball while I ran to & SB'd the near ball.
Blood Queen…well, we ran out of time and had some funny dumb wipes, but from what I did of it, it sounds cool. I was on the list to be bitten, but I never got bitten. Though, I do need to check if the vehicle bar will pop up in Dominos — it usually does, but apparently this is where your biting ability comes up when you go nuts. We got to phase 2 and had a MC'd pally running around. I wondered if I could Fear him or what, but twas a wipe anyway.
They kept telling me to roll on stuff so I can gear up for 25mans. I got Soulcleave Pendant & Bloodstained Surgeon's Shoulders. They kept trying to get me to take the wand, but Pawn & eyeballing it told me mine was better. Sadface at Gunship not dropping the Icecrown Spire Sandals…it's either those or me saving up for Sandals of Consecration (1+5 primordial saronite) in order to replace my Naxx 25 Boots of Persuasion.
What's in a name…
The only other Poneria in the ENTIRE GAME is on…
Elune. The server I wish to transfer to. WAT.
So…Pwneria, Ponneria, Ponerria, Ponerya, Ponerea, Ponera, Poneriia…
Fimlys came up with Pwneria, calling it Gr33k = Greek + 1337.
Ponera probably won't work because I just *know* then there will be some kind of joke about why I call myself Ponera but I can't make mana muffins…
Poniria…is not going to work. I'm sorry, I'm a Latin nerd at heart, I just can't handle my i's next to my r's like that.
I already have a Ponn on Elune, btw.
Amadruada, on the other hand, is completely unique. Astrape is not so unique (there are lots of shamans named that, hmmm, maybe because it means LIGHTNING), but there are none on Elune.
Also, there will be a warrior of some sort named Aristeia for my future worgen. Greek nerds should know why.

dammit: break this doesnt have shit to do with skiing
fukin idiots: who pays for the damage
KABOOM: I would rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
Too bad: The bad guys got away, don't let easy money for surveys get away from you http://cashcrate.com/597430
the crims: will never hear them coming.
omg!: that makes me some much more happier that i live in indiana...this just proves once again that indiana cops are retards...lol anderson indiana has to be the dumbest
stupide: cops
ROFL: just a bit much, don't ya think?
Hey assholes: The door was open.
dumb: proper dumbasses
i think: it would b even funnier if the dust cleared and the door was still standing
rednecks in training: figures there're rednecks asswipes
Um: I have the key
Oops: Well, got it open...
That was the door to the ladies' room: Janice will never temp there again...
hahah: hahahaha
I gotta say it....: You were only supposed to blow the bloody door off!!
Gotta love the internet: After reading these posts, I am all for the arial spraying of prozac & birth control. Yes, the tac-team used a bit much on the breaching charge. However, that is why it's a "training" exercise you fucktards. The video is good for a laugh, but it doesn't appear as though the operators are taking the incident seriously..shame.
That Police Sucks: 4 live
no: such thing as too much explosives, that blast probably took out the targets in the room
ya right: those guys get payed to much for what they do dam i wold do it for free lol
stupid pigs? you wouldn't last a second in their shoes. by the way, as a taxpaying salary, you provide them with their salary. how you like those apples?
rofl, i was hoping for that
what kind of question is that, dumbass
they do
dont piss off the cops in indiana
I dont think: the crims would be alive on the other side bahahaha
nice: ass
uh: why do you hate them? they're more then likely the people who might save you one day. show some respect
Breaching charge was placed backwards on the door: More like the charge was on the door the wrong way. Someone posted about it being funny if the door was still up, and from the looks of it, it probably is.
Prozac & Birth Control?: Yeah And We Can Sterilize Retards Too. How Bout That? You Can Be First. F#ckin' PIG
i bet: you have a small penis
i bet ur: dumb
i bet: ur black...
what if: there were hostages then they're screwed

IHC Movie Review: Oz, The Great and Powerful
Movies and I have a generally good relationship; that is I'm a cheap date. When I go, I expect the movie to evoke some emotion or entertainment for the 2-3 hours I'm there and then we part ways. It's like speed dating, except I don't have to talk. Also I never have to see them again if I don't want to and they don't mind. I don't think this is too much to expect, but sometimes even a movie can make for a bad date. Oz falls into this slot and that sucks, because it was on my 2013 bucket list.
If the Wizard of Oz were set in China, it might look something like this
These illustrations by Billy Nunez take the cast of The Wizard of Oz and transports them waaaay away from Kansas, into a mystical Chinese realm. And yes, before someone mentions it, there are koalas in China. Also, if the Lion is now a Tiger, who is the Tiger?

This new something else is a Wizard of Oz prequel movie from Disney.
