wholesale jerseys choose dresses with strategic gathers to direct eye to your waist
by 33 easefrern easefrern easefrernAF (2013-07-20)
In response to Typically the The air jordan Kobe achievement
In a conversation with USA Today's Game Hunters Blog, NBA legend jordan discussed the new NBA 2K11 video game released earlier this week and talked about the changes in the NBA.
When inquired about how the game has changed since he played, Jordan brought up rule changes and lacking physicality in the game.
"It's less physical and the principles have changed, definitely, michael jordan said. "with these rules, If I had to receive my style of play, I'm sure I would have fouled out or I would have been at the free throw line pretty often and I could have scored 100 points,
The most Jordan had ever scored in a game was 69 in 1990 from Cleveland Cavaliers.
Kobe Bryant scored 81 points the particular Toronto Raptors in 2006.
Shoulda woulda coulda. With my athletic details I could be an NCAA champion, Olympic gold rings medalist, First American to win the Boston gathering in decades. No disrespect which can MJ, However basing your athletic [url=http://www.radiohule.com/chaussure.html]chaussure louboutin[/url] performance on how your character does in a video game is definately not accurate. Go to youtube you'll athletic tasks on Madden, some EA, 2K sports that is near if not possible in real life. jordan does need to become like Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlain compare their performances to today's players. If you are the greatest you do need to ring your own bell from the time you retire to your death bed. I can't get back to my hometown without somebody there ringing my own bell. I'm like that's who am in the world today.
I humbly apologize for my complete lack of basketball getting which led to the "Stupid and preposterous" kind of reaction. I have no idea what I was thinking at the time and at this point only hope that I didn't ruin your entire weekend with my negligent posting.
My apologies to the late great Wilt and to you as well Luv. I guess I could just beat myself up all day over this but I have to try and move on. I promise to be more careful down the road about making ridiculous suppositions.
But I'll bet Jabbar might have done it. incredibly. Your time has come passed in the game.
Now let's see if you'll find something to help w/your mouth money in this country that can make a real difference.
"and i'm no LeBron jockee, Yet I do recognize if the whistle wasn't blown for you, He were MUCH too powerful for you,
See I doubting the fact that that, At or perhaps core. Mike will forever be the guy that was cut from the graduating high school team, While LeBron will almost allways be the guy driving Hummers and starring on ESPN before he passed English 12.
mentally, Bron Bron is a creature, But he'll never be on Jordan or Kobe's level as long as the heart and judgment isn't there
So really, Mike's push his mouth now, But he's earned the authority to do that, What has lebron earned, His name needn't even be spoken in the same breath as Mike's.
As a kid losing their childhood by Lansing mi, I vividly remember going to the old msu Fieldhouse and just standing in awe of magic in the game. What he displayed wasn't just superhero shots or jumps, But a complete idea of the game beyond anything I'd ever witnessed. He was an honest team player. Not taking anything away from his massive info to the game, Michael jordon brought more fans to the NBA the correct way Wayne Gretzky changed ice hockey. He probably will go down [url=http://www.kpgsynergy.com/jerseys.html]cheap jerseys free shipping[/url] in the books as the greatest player of all time. Yet in my experience, Magic Johnson will invariably remain the best.
Magic has the bball IQ over the charts. What he lacked in [url=http://www.boutiquelives.com/]michael kors outlet[/url] energetic ability, He well over made up for it with his court generalship, Vision and passing property. consult your the ball in Magic's hands with 10 seconds on the clock. He'll find the open guy and always help his team win.
Jordan also had an amazing bball IQ. Plus he had personal ability that even players like Lebron wishes he had. Jordan had the very best basketball body. tone, particularly long, Strong and plenty stamina. His hops have been otherworldy. He seemed to know something about becoming lighter in midair and hanging there for what seemed like 10 seconds.

I think the most important difference is that we have a very clear vision of what we want to do. This allows us to make decisions about what to work on quickly and easily. I always thought my old company was paralyzed because there wasn't a very clear vision or plan or strategy. As a result, we couldn't just do stuff was because nobody could even agree on the general direction that the stuff should be headed.
But, there were other reasons too: the company had a culture that was risk-averse and punished failure — success was the only option."—
That statement about culture is totally, definitely true.

At the gala celebrating the crowning achievement of his career, he showed her off to cheering throngs: "How good-looking is my wife?"
In his lock-step schedule, he sets aside daily "Michelle time."
And last weekend, he fulfilled a promise to her. They got all gussied up and flew to New York, took a limo to dinner and a Broadway show, then flew home. Date night, just the two of them. Michelle and Barack. And their security detail.

Every month, I attend my local La Leche League meeting. I really enjoy meeting other breastfeeding mothers, always learn a little more about breastfeeding, and – I hope – get the opportunity to influence, oh so gently, expecting and new mothers to parent their children in a more conscious way.
The care provided by a good homebirth midwife is second to none. When you are in the care of a good midwife, you feel like you are the only pregnant woman in the world. You feel loved, and nurtured, and safe.

I'm Alessia, most people call me Bess. I have many nick names, you'll learn that. Most people don't even know my real name, but if you can't pronounce it properly, it's probably best we leave it that way. My surname is Porcaro, and I can neither confirm nor deny that I COULD be related to Mike, Steve and Jeff Porcaro from the band Toto, but there's a slight possibility considering us Porcaro's are a rare breed.
I live in Melbourne, Australia. I've traveled the World, but Melbourne will always be my home. It's the perfect place for me, it has my heart. Yet, my home away from home would have to be Rome, Italy. I'm 29, but 16 at heart, with the mental capability of a 40 year old. I can be wise, but I can also be cheeky.
I like to surround myself with amazing people. I settle for nothing less.
I am a good person. I am a bad influence.
My moto: Life is a musical. Sing it.
The things I love the most in the world are my Family, Friends, Music, Movies, Musicals, and Comedy (Comedy Festival/Fringe Festival season is better than Christmas) - without these things I'm fairly certain I'd lose my mind even more than I already have.
Some extra special people in my life include (you may notice their names featured in a number of blogs):
*** My family (all of you, my life), Jaclyn Neame, Missa Juricev, Brett Wasina, Natalia Athanasiadis, Mattew Shipp, Hayley Bromely, Liam Arthur, Kristen Jane, Helen Jonezales, Dave Callan, Andrew McClelland***
I like blogs that mix it up a bit, have a bit of everything, and throw in some good reads every now and then. For me, my blog is like a personal diary slash scrap book. I write down thoughts, things that have happened to me, things that make me laugh, opinions, quotes, share videos and links that I think should get some recognition, and other bits and pieces of stuff that has influenced me over the years.
I don't really expect that anyone actually reads a lot of my dribblings, or pays attention to the random crap that I post, but for me it's like a snippet of my life, and I can go back and read over things, as I would if I kept a diary. A virtual diary if you will.
Sometimes I wonder if my introduction to myself is a little too long, and I wonder if anyone actually reads this far. But then I think to myself; you know what? Those who enjoy reading this, are the ones who will enjoy following my blog. So if you've made it this far, I hope you've found what you are looking for, and I hope I'm able to provide you with some entertainment from time to time.
Muchos love,

"…You can always tell the particles apart, in principle—just paint one of them red and the other one blue, or stamp identification numbers on them, or hire private detectives to follow them around. But in quantum mechanics the situation is fundamentally different: You can't paint an electron red, or pin a label on it, and a detective's observation will inevitably and unpredictably alter its state, raising doubts as to whether the two had perhaps switched places"

I have a question about the recipe "Sweet Potato and Pancetta Gratin" from cnevertz.
What is the reason to have to spray the sheet of foil paper before covering the pan with it ??? To keep the stacks from sticking to the foil ?
Maybe cnevertz will weigh in, but I would assume that is the reason. It's the same with lasagne and other cheese covered dishes and gratins. You don't want to lose that top layer of topping to the tinfoil.
Well played.

Germany Pledges to Strictly Enforce Vehicle Emissions Standards
After 2012, vehicles sporting a red fine-particle sticker are no longer permitted to enter 18 German cities, and the Ruhr industrialized region will be designated one large low emission zone. This threatens all old stinkers!
Things are becoming serious in the German low emissions zones: after January of 2012, many cities are redefining stricter rules. As noted above, 18 cities will not permit red-stickered vehicles inside the limits. The green sticker is even required in Stuttgart, Munich, Frankfurt am Main, Osnabrueck, and Krefeld. The Ruhr region, also mentioned above, currently contains eight separate low emissions zones – the switch to one large zone is also in January 2012. Cars without an environmental sticker are totally banned from the area. Why? The European Union (EU) had determined higher limiting values for particulate emissions than anticipated. The grace period ended on June 11th. Now, the fixed limit is valid, which may only be exceeded for 35 days per calendar year.
At Neckartor in Stuttgart, the limit for particulate emissions is exceeded 65 days per year. Peter Zaar, speaker for the Regional Council, said: "We anticipate improvement after the new standards take effect. A 40km/h (24 mph) speed limit in the city center is also in discussion." If emission levels continue to exceed the limits, there could be complaints levied against Germany by the EU – accompanied by massive fines for the guilty communities. The EU will evaluate any progress in reducing fine particulate emissions in 2012.

SUNDAY, Nov. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Girls who are severely
physically and sexually abused may be at greater risk for heart
disease, heart attack and stroke as adults, according to a new
Researchers examined the link between abuse and heart disease
and strokes among 67,100 women. Forced sexual activity during their
childhood or teenage years was reported by 11 percent of the women,
and 9 percent reported severe physical abuse.
Women who were repeatedly raped as children or teenagers were at
62 percent higher risk for heart disease. Meanwhile, women who
suffered severe physical abuse as children or teens had a 45
percent increased risk for heart disease.
"The single biggest factor explaining the link between severe child abuse and adult cardiovascular disease was the tendency of abused girls to have gained more weight throughout adolescence and into adulthood," said the study's lead author, Janet Rich-Edwards, associate professor in the department of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, in a news release from the American Heart Association.
The research was to be presented Sunday at the annual meeting of
the American Heart Association in Orlando.
Known risk factors for heart disease, such as obesity, smoking,
diabetes and hypertension, however, accounted for just 40 percent
of the association between the abuse the women suffered and heart
disease. As a result, the researchers argued other factors, such as
heightened stress among people with a history of abuse, could play
an important role.
"Women who experience abuse need to take special care of their physical and emotional well-being to reduce their risk of chronic disease," noted Rich-Edwards. "Primary care health professionals need to consider childhood abuse histories of women as they transition into adulthood," she added.
To help prevent cardiovascular disease among women with a
history of abuse, "we need to learn more about specific
psychological, lifestyle and medical interventions to improve the
health of abuse survivors," she said.
Research presented at meetings should be considered preliminary
until published in a peer-reviewed medical journal.

went threw a foreclosure and heard good things about these apartments. Got signed up and had a huge deposit to leave. Felt maybe well worth it. After a year of hassle parking and only one satelite provider having constant issues just wasnt worth sticking around. At the end, apartment was left as move out sheet was requested paid to have carpet cleaned, they took advantage of my deposit by stating the carpet needed to be replaced when carpet cleaner stated carpet was in good condition, walls needed to be repainted after scrubbing them down and the list went on until I only recieved about 10% back of my deposit. This was the worst feeling I had compared to losing my house and struggling in this economy.

We are sitting in our apartment while drug deals are going down. The guy around the corner walks out and hands the stuff over. We have seen 3 deals go down today. He evidently has given the "SECURITY" code out and these people have access to the property. There are drunken pool parties every night. Not safe to be here much longer! Doesn't seem like the management team has any accountability. If you're looking to live here-you need to come back at night. REAL eye opener!!!

"But further, we err, not only in religion but in philosophy likewise, because we do not know or believe 'the scriptures.' The sciences have been compared to a circle of which religion composes a part. To understand any one of them perfectly it is necessary to have some knowledge of them all. Bacon, Boyle and Newton included the scriptures in the inquiries to which their universal geniuses disposed them, and their philosophy was aided by their knowledge in them."

The State Board of Regents voted recently to tighten their policies governing illegal immigrant applicants to Georgia colleges and universities, and they did it with little discussion.
From now through the Nov. 2 election day, you will see and hear a lot about ballot Amendment 2. This is a $10 car tag fee to help fund the formation of a statewide trauma network and stabilize Georgia's trauma care system. Specifically, Georgia voters will be asked to vote "yes" or "no" on the following:
Two-thirds of West Virginians approve of the job performance of Gov. Joe Manchin. In ordinary circumstances, that would be enough to get him any promotion he wants. Not in 2010.
If most Georgians hope to ensure a future quality of life at least equal to that of the past, it is clear that government accountability must improve.
Of all the things the Newark, N.J., school system needs, the last of them is more money. Newark spends more per pupil than any other city in the country, and gets dismayingly little for it. For $22,000 per pupil - more than twice the national average - it graduates half its students.

In less than three weeks, we will elect people to fill some of the most important positions in our state and nation. And while they are obviously all important, some will argue that judgeships and those who appoint or confirm judges are the most important.
In a speech at Duke University last week, U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said that most Americans have grown too detached from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and view military service as something for "other people to do."
The legislation (SB-31) that allows Georgia Power to charge small businesses and residential customers for electricity in advance provides exhibits A to Z of Republican core economic and political values; family values are exhibited in the speaker suite on the right wing at Motel 6.
This month marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Dr. Jonas Salk.
President Barack Obama's recent move to allow seismic exploration of oil and gas reserves off the shores of Georgia and the Atlantic Coast has left many hopeful that the offshore drilling moratorium currently in place may soon be lifted. A new study by University of Wyoming energy economist Dr. Tim Considine indicates the degree to which such a move would benefit Georgians and our Mid-Atlantic counterparts.
Last Saturday, while the Bulldog nation sweated out a 35-32 victory over the Tennessee Volunteers that should not have been as hard as our scholar-athletes made it, former head football coach and athletic director Vince Dooley's first team at UGA was recognized on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. As nice as that was, more - much more - needs to be done to honor the legendary Hall of Fame coach.
My good friend stopped by my office the other day, somewhat surprising me with his visit. He looked a little perplexed and indicated to me he had just found out that he had high blood pressure.You should know that my friend is in relatively good shape. He's slightly younger than me and stays very active; and he recently lost about 10 pounds by way of good dieting and exercise. I asked him how he discovered that his blood pressure was high. He said he had it taken at the dentist's office just prior to a procedure he ...
When Miss Ondia Mae died at 75, those of us who knew her marveled that she had managed to make it to the end of her life without winding up in the poorhouse.
As a child who wanted nothing more than to grow up and become a journalist, I used to write stories for and draw out my own homemade "newspapers" to distribute to my family on Sunday mornings at breakfast. I tried to design my publications based on what I thought each of my family members might want to read. Dad's "newspaper" was about sports, and my younger sister's often featured reports on Strawberry Shortcake and her social circle.
Two pretty newsworthy events concerning children made headlines last week in Liberty County.
With the Bryan County Board of Education approval Thursday evening of the $303,000 revitalization of the Richmond Hill High School running track, the RHHS Cross Country/Track & Field Boosters has announced the start of their capital campaign: Richmond Hill Athletic Project (RHAP).

Hi there.
I pretty urgently need a chat solution for my website.
I know you can get remotely hosted Java applets that link into IRC.
You can also get Java applets that you host yourself that link into IRC.
I would prefer the second option because it is obviously more flexible with no adverts, but i am aware that it sucks up bandwidth. How much would this be, with an average of this :
once a week, 10 users in the chat room for 2 or 3 hours, typing an average amount.
Thanks very much

UEFA Champions League
For the seventh year Amplify leverage Sony's UEFA Champion's League sponsorship, bringing PlayStation and fans together for the shared love of the game
For the past four years Amplify have managed Sony's Champions League presence at the Champions Festival, taking us around Europe hitting a number of final host cities including Lisbon, Madrid, Munich and London.
There has been a mixture of approaches to celebrate Sony's relationship with the beautiful game including innovative exclusive tech and gaming experiences and unique design concepts.
Over the years the experiences have always leveraged a number of passion points from the game, whether it be recreating a 3D football stadium in Hyde Park, kitting out bespoke shipping containers in the docks of Stratford or embracing the 'colour of football' in Munich. One unforgettable moment involved the live streaming of the Champions League Final to over 65k people within the iconic Olympia Park in Munich after a series of music gigs including headliner Aloe Blacc.
No Champions League experience would be complete without talent and year on year footballs elite have graced the experience with everyone from Gareth Bale to Jens Lehmann driving the PlayStation communications team's PR and social media plans resulting in media coverage that has reached more than 20m people.

GP contract changes. From April 2014 all 75 year and older patients must have their own named doctor. We have always adhered to the "named doctor" principle. All patients at the practice have their own named doctor, if you are unsure about who your named doctor is please check with the reception Team.
Online Services: You can now book and cancel appointments with our doctors on-line.Please click the "Make Appointment" button below the surgery's address or click here to access the service. An on-line repeat prescriptions request service is now also available to patients 16 years and older.

Scandyna Speakers definitely is thinking outside the box, if you will, when it comes to their loudspeaker design. And if the name Podspeakers, used to describe their lineup, sounds like something out of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," well one look at these intriguing designs and alien pods might come to mind.
The company has been at it since 1965, so if you're looking to combine performance with artistic design, Scandyna's might be the speakers for you.
Here are some highlights of the pods:
The Minipod—a combination of three spheres to form one pressure-vessel, so there's less cabinet vibration, sound radiation and distortion; from $849/pair
The Drop—featuring a five-inch bass/midrange driver and a one-inch tweeter, available in six colors; from $849/pair
The Micropod SE and Micropod SE Active—smaller spherical speakers with Kevlar bass/midrange and soft-dome tweeter, these are designed as complements for your MP3 stereo or computer sound system; $199/pair and $299/single, respectively

A damp and misty start in Torquay disguised the fact that a 7 knot NNE breeze had settled into the bay, allowing race 7 to start on time at 10.30am on Sunday. The fleet went away cleanly with crews fully hiking upwind for the first time in the championship. After snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in the final race on Saturday, Peter Barton and Miles Mence started fast at the pin end to command the race from beginning to end. Holding off a last-minute charge from Charlie Cumbley and Andy Couch, a jubilant Pete said after the race, "Finally! We had our opportunity to win a race yesterday, we should have, but it didn't go right for us. The Ovington guys are doing a great job of introducing friendship in the VX One with a bar tab for half price beers, it's really friendly and it's nice to see them sharing the wins today and good to see Charlie and Andy just ease off the gas at the last minute to share it about a little bit. Miles teased them for a bit with a couple of gybes, but in the end we just went for speed and had them." The race team quickly turned the fleet around to start race 8. Neil Harris and Phil Rumbelow, who was involved in a couple of incidents yesterday, came good again to take their second race win of the championship. Neil said after the race, "No turns today. Philip was complaining he was getting so dizzy that he didn't want any more sea sickness in this race, so we played it very calm and cool and it worked well! Going out to sea on the last run was the decisive moment in the race; we took a gybe, stayed in the pressure and came in on the lay line and nailed it. We'd set ourselves a target of an aggregate score of 6 points for the day, so we have to win twice more now." Just after midday the sun started burning through the morning mist. With it, race 9 started in the best winds of the championship so far. Once again Peter Barton and Miles Mence nailed the start and went on to take a commanding win. On getting to grips with the VX One Peter said, "It's just a big Firefly really, it's a matter of sniggling your way up the wind shifts in the offshore breeze. I'm very much enjoying today's racing, we're starting to find a few grooves, a few modes, and it's a matter of exploiting them a little." Miles Mence on crewing for Pete in the VX One said, "It's great, it's a lovely boat and it's very nice crewing for Pete. He tells you what's going on the whole time and it's a big discussion – I'm learning a lot." Charlie Cumbley and Andy Couch's second place ensured them of the inaugural VX One National Championship title. The final race of the day saw Barton and Mence once again power away from the fleet on the start. While the rest of the fleet battled at the committee boat end, Pete and Miles spotted a slight shift, diving for the pin and then crossing the fleet on their first tack. They once again controlled the race to take their third bullet of the day and moved up to second in the overall results. Charlie and Andy consolidating their victory with yet another 2nd place, their fourth of the day. Peter Rumbelow's Royal Torbay Yacht Club team have displayed impeccable race management throughout the event, making the best use of the fickle breeze on Friday and Saturday and packing four good races in with the better breeze on Sunday. Peter's wife Kay has been uploading the results almost instantly after each race, giving a very clear leader board as the championship unfolded. Racing in Torbay provides superb sea sailing with minimal tides while the club has excellent facilities ashore and good food at a very reasonable price. All in all a great championship venue. Charlie Cumbley said in the prize giving, "A massive thank-you to the club who've been fantastic hosts and obviously all the help from the sponsors. Peter and the race team did an amazing job getting 10 races in, looking at the forecast it looked pretty horrific so an awesome job with great courses. Also a massive thanks to Ovington for letting us use one of their boats which I have to say is a fantastic bit of kit. I hope the class goes from strength to strength from now on."

Hood Regatta
Houston Yacht Club was the host for six VX ONE teams from Oklahoma and Texas last weekend during the Houston Open One-Design Regatta or HOOD. Saturday brought four good races with winds blowing 10-12 kts and flat water. Racing was tight all day with three teams claiming first place finishes. Shawn Cina managed to win two and hold off Vernon Green to lead the day. Sunday winds were lighter at 5-10 kts and shifty. Once again racing was close but Vernon Green managed to find the right place to be on the water and closed out the day with three bullets moving him into a solid first place for the regatta. Shawn Cina dropped to second, and Matt Haddon sailing on a boat borrowed from Rod Vela locked up third. The Race Committee did an outstanding job of keeping the 4 fleets on the Division 3 race course moving without down time between races all weekend long. Thanks to Rod Vela and JD Hill for providing the fleet with plenty of cold drinks between races and a big thank you to the regatta organizers, HYC staff and sponsors of the event for making sure the VX Ones were all well take care of both on and off the water.
Gulf Coast Championship
The VX One Class started to show off its strength and future potential this past weekend with two regional events on the same weekend, each drawing great turnouts with amazing sailing. Thank you to Tim Pitts for the following report: I want to share the great experience I had this weekend in the Gulf Coast Championship at Buccaneer Yacht Club. I got the invite to come sail with Fleet 1 by Fleet Captain Donnie Brennan. I had a great time with the whole fleet, and we had 10 boats registered. The regatta was a two-day event, however the boats arriving on Friday afternoon were welcomed by the commodore & local fleet members, offering to help or even stand in as crew if needed. Once on the water, we had a six-boat tuning session for about an hour. After getting off the water, we had a welcoming/skippers meeting at the club. The first race was at 11:30 on Saturday, but you wouldn't have known that by looking at the dock, as it was nearly empty at 10:30. Everyone was eager to get out and sail in the building northerly. The racing was epic in the four races on Saturday, each having a different winner and lead changes every leg. The best part was it was just clean tight racing. I did not hear one sailor raise their voice, maybe with exception of when I ripped my pants during the last race, but that's a "whole 'nother story." Once on shore, the fleet was treated to an amazing meal that cost $10. Sunday racing was just as tight, and the race committee was able to get two great races off in a dying breeze.
My biggest takeaways:
• All boats seem to be equally quick, being brand new or three years old
• You can be fast with 2 or 3 people
• Top three boats all used different sailmakers
• No one is really off the pace
• Everyone is excited about the Winter Series (20 plus boats for Sarasota + 30 likely for Bacardi)
By the numbers:
• 10 boats registered
• 6 races sailed
• 4 different race winners
• 3 won by crews sailing 3 up
• 3 won by double-handers
• 2 husband and wife teams
• 1 point decided the winner – (we lost)
• 0 complaints about the regatta
2015 North American Championship Confirmed
The 2015 VX One North American Championship is confirmed for Gulfport Yacht Club from October 3-7, 2015. Here are unofficial, preliminary plans:
NAC Measurement – Saturday, October 3
Measurement and practice race – Sunday, October 4
NAC racing – Monday to Wednesday, October 5 –7
Thursday, October 8 – rig VX Ones for Championship of Champions and practice race (proposed)
Friday to Sunday, October 8-10 – Championship of Champions (proposed)
The NAC runs back to back with the US Sailing Championship of Champions for which the VX One has been the selected for 2015. We are going to need 21 boats for the C of Cs. This opportunity comes at a key time for the growth of our Class and all owners are asked to consider the gracious use of your boat following the NAs for the C of Cs. Bennett Yachting and Fleet 1 members are dedicated to making both these events notable for our Class. We will also be asking those who can hang around and assist and spectate to do so. This can also be the staging point for moving boats back down to Florida for the 2015/16 winter series. Yes, it's more than a year out, but now is not too late to start capitalizing on this opportunity to grow our Class.

VX One North American Championship Kicks Off Thursday in Newport, Rhode Island
The third annual VX One North American Championship kicks off Thursday, July 17 from Newport Yacht Club in Rhode Island. Nineteen VX Ones, representing Canada, New Zealand, the Virgin Islands and the United States, are gathering for three days of competition.

Newport Regatta Rocks the East Coast
Sailors from 21 US states and eight countries gathered in Newport for Sail Newport's annual Newport Regatta on July 11-13, featuring Bacardi Newport Race Week with long-term sponsors Heineken and new sponsor Helly Hansen. The mammoth event on four circles of racing on Narragansett Bay, in its 31st year, requires over 100 volunteers and partnerships with New York Yacht Club, Ida Lewis Yacht Club, Newport Yacht Club and Barrington Yacht Club. Racing couldn't have been much tighter for the top three VX Ones, as just two points separated them in the end. Robby Brown's VX Racing came out on top with 14 net points in the nine races. Tim Desmond and Brian Bennett's Satisfaction was just one point behind in second place. And just one point further behind in third was the Chuck Wagon team of Phip Hallowell and Chuck Brown. 11 VX Ones were registered. For complete results click here.
Newport IYAC Cup
This weekend, 19 boats competed for the Newport IYAC Cup sponsored by Bud Light. Held every year by IYAC (rated as one of the top sailor bars in the country)—an infamous stopping point for all pro sailors during their stay in Newport—the race is usually around Jamestown. Due to the breeze, it was a modified shorter course of 13.5 miles. Since the America's Cup left, it's probably the biggest bar bragging rights in town. Past winners include Javlin, Rambler and Bill Mack. This year, breeze was 18-25 knots, with three VX One's competing—Jim Myers, Phil Hallowell and Tim Pitts. The course took the VX One's in Class One from Jameston to Portsmouth and down the harbor. There were three lead changes upwind, including boats such as the TP52s. The three VX One's rounded fifth, sixth and seventh overall, but the race changed completely when the kites went up. Check out the drone video by (clicking here). The VX One's hit confirmed speeds of 23-24 knots, and were ripping down the bay. They caught all the "fast boats" who had previously held a 7-8 minute lead. It was complete domination. Even the Race Committee was shocked to see the VX One's finish first, second and fourth overall. It was a complete showing of what this boat can do, even with a wide variety of crew weight and experience. The boat was very stable and a blast going downwind. The event definitely opened eyes is Newport, as the VX One is the smallest boat to win the Cup. Owners in the bigger boats now want a ride on the VX One! The Newport Cup, founded in 1992, is a traditional around Conanicut Island (Jamestown) race. Bud Light has been the race's core sponsor for all 22 events, and Goslings Black Seal has been on board for the last six. The race is open to any entrant with a PHRF rating and has enjoyed a wide variety of sailing vessels. The IYAC also hosts a Sportboat Series every Monday night in the summer. It began in 2010 and is open to all Sportboats up to 32′. The idea is that most racing does not cater specifically to these types of large planing dinghies, so they decided to give these guys a start and see how it goes. They have had Viper 640s, International 14s, J/80s, Garage Rockets, and most recently VX Ones and Marstrom 32 Cats. On any given Monday, they have 6-7 VX Ones. The IYAC also hosts the "Newport Cup" race around Conanicut Island. The race is held every year on a weekend near the 4th of July holiday. They have multiple classes racing under Narragansett Bay PHRF for the prized Cup. Competitors have included world champion sailors and crew racing in many different types of boats from J/24s, Shields and 12 Meters, and all kinds of Grand Prix IRC racers from TP52s to Super Maxis.

Some of these are a bit overdesigned, but I really like Ant-Woman and Spider-Woman. The juxtaposition of Peter's hair (humanizing) versus the multiple eyes (de…humanizing, although that's not really the word) is really interesting.
From the Hank Pym Photo Archives- Avengers Press Day "Tony thought it would be a good idea to invite some of the press over to Stark Mansion to highlight some of the work we were doing as the Avengers. I took this photo during an interview with a team from The Daily-something-or-other. I do remember the reporter asking us what we thought about other heroes' roles in the country's affairs. Apparently their city had, as the woman reporter put it, 'A one-man Avengers team.' "

SDCC-exclusive Avengers Mini Mighty Muggs.
Love the expressions, love that Giant Man appears to be just a regular size Mugg, hate that Comic Con always gets the best toys.
Also, it's a pity there's no extra-mini Wasp Mugg.
Remember how Tom Brevoort made this big thing a few months ago about how diversity is important but teams like the Avengers need to be composed of A-list heroes first and foremost? And there was a lot of discussion about how this kind of attitude perpetuates the overwhelming white/straight/cis/male/etc-ness of superheroes, because not only does it fail to take the historical disparity of majority vs. minority characters into account, but it never gives less established characters to become A-list in the first place?
Yeah, remembering that discussion right now. This is a "founding Avenger" themed set, clearly, so where the eff is Wasp?

World War Hulk: X-Men #3You want to talk about suffering? Look around you. Her name was Laurie Collins. All she wanted was for people to like her for who she was. She got shot in the head, she was sixteen. This is Brian Cruz, he loved his powers and being here. He lost it all on M-Day and he lost his life, too, along with forty-one other kids. Because some mutant-hater blew them up. Like your wife was blown up.
Don't tell me we haven't suffered like you and don't ever tell us not to fight for what we have left! You're trying to do to us exactly what your enemies did to you. Destroy what happiness we've managed to find in a world that hates us, for something the Professor didn't even do! Maybe we can't stop you, but don't you dare expect us to fight any less hard than you!
Aaaah Cess, this is why I love you so much.

Oh god I really want that little Spidey thingy every time I see it. SO ADORBS.

Howard KennedyFSI in management limbo as CEO Dembovsky quits
Readers' comments (6)
Wasn't the tradition for a Captain to go down with the sinking ship? It seems as if Dembovsky has done a Costa Concordia.
Over 10% loss of revenue with plummeting PEP, no real surprise he has jumped. But was it ever that much of a surprise? Two failing West End firms seem to have merged to become a larger failing firm.
Rarely laugh out loud with the comments - but the Costa Concordia line is a classic ! HT @Anonymous | 14-Nov-2013 4:07 pm
Yet another in the long line of failed non lawyer chief executives
Read between the lines ..revolution can be a good thing. He's out because he has a legacy of poor handling. Good riddance is what we are hearing from W1.
No real surprise here - the firm has lacked leadership and direction for several years. A shame that it is going wrong when HK at least was a strong brand just a short time ago.
Let's hope the new management can root out the bad practices that have developed recently and restore the esprit de corps that the firm used to have.
