Cornering in on the Granny
I am admitting, I have always wanted to make a granny square. I am working on a crochet along so I can learn to make granny squares. In the process I am also hoping to get better at crochet so I can diversify my fiber skills. I am also trying to use yarn out of my stash. I am succeeding at all of it, but the last one. Knitting or crocheting out of my stash is hard.
Test Granny
After a test corner granny with much crocheting and ripping out and weighing of the yarn I was able to work up a strategy to use stash yarn and get the 20 blocks I needed. I have been hooking away to get these blocks done. I have got one corner of corner grannies done. Check granny squares off the fiber bucket list for me.

Show Me Marriage!!!
Today a judge said it is unconstitutional to deny same-sex couples the right to be married in St. Louis MO, my home town. I blogged about this case (
) and here we are, on the right side of history. The Recorder of Deeds announced they are ready to start issuing licenses and will be opened 8-5 tomorrow to do just that. Even the Secretary of State has said there will be no stay on this ruling. What this means is if you want a marriage license tomorrow, same-sex couples will not be denied.
When I got the call today with the good news, I was with my wife. We squeezed hands and as soon as I was off the call we kissed and laughed, then I shed a few tears of joy. It has finally happened. Not only are we legally married in our home state, but now if we weren't already married we could go tomorrow and get married. So wonderful.
We have had some calls, text messages, and facebook inquiries, if Natalie and I are going to get married, again. Natalie's response was, "How many times do we have to get married?" I am agreeing with her, we have had a union ceremony, registered as domestic partners, and been married in Iowa. No big ceremony, no "yes to the dress" thing, and I am definitely saying no to the muscholli. However, I am ecstatic for all the couples that can finally get married. I wish them all the biggest congratulation. Happy Day!!!

Building Block #10
2014 is just melting away and soon I will have all 12 blocks of my knit along with Natalie done. Block #10 was all about the slip, slip knit stitch or SSK. Both of us knew this stitch well from the Clapotis pattern (
), but it is nice to use the stitch to knit such a pretty block. Unlike last month's block, I really enjoyed knitting this one and the end result was a lovely block in purple.
The only negative thing I will say about the SSK is that it truly is a booger to tink out. (Tink is to unknit your stitch to fix a mistake). If anyone has any suggestions or tips on how to do this successfully, I would be most grateful. MOST.

Marriage Equality Wins
What an amazing week it was, same-sex marriage keeps sweeping the nation. By letting the lower courts decisions stand 11 states were released to begin same sex marriage. It has not been smooth, but it is happening. Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Wisconsin, Indiana, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina are either performing marriages or getting ready to. Allowing equality is still a struggle in Wyoming, Kansas, and South Carolina, but it is coming. A court in Alaska has also said the states same sex marriage ban was unconstitutional. Again it is coming.
I am happy for all the gains, but still wish the U.S. Supreme Court had taken the cases and made marriage equality the law of the land. Still waiting for Missouri to not just recognize marriage licenses from other states, but to overturn the ban on same sex marriages, again it is coming. Looking forward to equality.

Today We Bought a House
Our New Place
Today we bought a house. I say that, but it is not like we went to the house store, picked one out, paid for it, and brought it home. Several months ago we started looking at houses. We looked at big one, small ones, new ones, rehabbed ones, expensive ones, cheap ones, brick ones, and more brick ones. In the end we chose the one with the big yard, because that is truly what my wife wanted. I had hoped to have a new home which didn't need a bunch of work, but again we went with the house with the big yard, so some work will be needed.
We went through the painstaking process of getting a loan on the new house. It was not that we weren't loan worthy, it was that we kept having to produce the same pieces of paper over and over to the bank. It was a nightmare. However, today everything was in order and we met at the title company and signed our names dozens and dozens of time. And then after all the papers and signatures we had a new home.
We are lucky, Natalie owns Casa de California. We will be able to take our time to get the new place in order and move at our pace. I am not loving the idea of moving my fiestaware and my whole life, but eventually I will say goodbye to the casa and hello to the new place. I keep telling myself today was a good day.
P.S. The State of Missouri's Attorney General did
put a stay on recognition of same sex marriage licenses from other states, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear same sex marriage rulings which had already struck down marriage bands. Several states started marrying same sex couples (Virginia, Colorado, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Oklahoma). Today was a very good day.

An Iconic Vacation to Chicagoland
My beautiful wife and I went to Chicago for a 4 day, 3 night vacation. Those 4 days were filled with many wonderous and iconic things. First we had a nice drive and meet up with some of our dear friends for a good visit and dinner. Selena and her mother were their normal gracious hosts basking us in their warmth and hospitality.
After leaving our friends we checked into our hotel, perfectly situated in the posh Gold Coast area of North Chicago. We settled in for our stay. Wednesday was more time with good friends, gambling the day away. We even managed to squeeze in a yarn store called Knit Nirvana (
). I bought some Wicked Madelinetosh and had a good time with the owner, Sue. Our friends even took us out to eat at a Czech restaurant, Czech Plaza in Berwyn (
). We had a great meal with liver dumpling soup and delicious pork tenderloin. It is always hard to say goodbye to our friends, Bob and Greg, needing many hugs.
Thursday found us at the Contemporary Art Museum (
) looking to have a meeting with David Bowie. What a meeting it was. The 90 minute multi-media exhibition of Bowie was amazing. The costumes and the music alone were stunning. I also got a kick out of all the crazy shoes, too. It was an unexpected way to spend our Thursday. We also got to see 2 Frieda Kahlo paintings, and wonder why the museum had a Fiat mounted on the wall. We left happy that Sue at Knit Nirvana had suggest we go. We also squeezed in another yarn store, Loopy Yarns (
). Again another great yarn store with helpful people.
Thursday night was the main event, Fleetwood Mac in concert. When I heard the classic line-up of Fleetwood Mac was going to be on tour, I knew I would kick myself if I missed it. Sadly, St. Louis was not on the list of tour cities. I did some hard thinking and decided, I only need one kidney, and bought the tickets. I am so glad I did. The group performed for over 2 and half hours. They rocked and rolled. The band gave their all for a great evening of the music I love. Big Sigh! After the concert it took us awhile to get a taxi and it started to rain, but all I could do was glow all the way back to the hotel.
We capped our vacation with a stop over at IKEA on the way out of town where we spent some dollars on Swedish design. My car is still full of a kitchen island and a bathroom cabinet. In all our vacation was full of icons and IKEA, Big Sigh! Oh well in another year and a half I will get to go on vacation again.

Same-sex Marriage Moves Forward in Missouri..
And so it goes the court today said same-sex marriages performed in other states have to be accepted in Missouri. I, of course, was in a different state when the ruling was handed down. Home now, so until the stay gets put in place, I am legally wed in my home state. Tears of joy were shed

- Publisher: 505 Games
- Release Date: Oct 25, 2011
- Summary: A first of its kind shooter, Blackwater reinvents the modern combat shooter genre by giving players the ability to completely control the gameplay experience using either a traditional controller or Kinect for Xbox 360's controller-free abilities which introduces an unprecedented level of immersion to the FPS genre. Blackwater takes its namesake from the private security company founded in 1997 by Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL, to provide training support to military and law enforcement agencies.… Expand

Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 12
Mixed: 3 out of 12
Negative: 9 out of 12
Oct 25, 2011Enemy paths are obvious, and at times, they'll forget to shoot at you. Meanwhile, you'll die behind cover much too often, requiring you to restart the whole level...If you can forgive these flaws, Blackwater is old-school arcade fun, and a solid step in making a hardcore Kinect game.
Dec 8, 2011Blackwater is a better use of Kinect controls than most, but ultimately there are too many rough edges, and not enough of a game here. [Issue#79, p.88]
Dec 19, 2011A very poorly produced game, with too many problems to be even considered as a possibile buy.
Jan 25, 2012Blackwater is a definite step in the right direction to providing the motion-based FPS like the one promised when Microsoft announced their Kinect camera peripheral. But between the controversial backstory, the dicey subject matter, the terrible presentation, and the sketchy controls, it is a game that is better left on the shelf. If you want a better Kinect shooter experience, check out Gunstringer.
Oct 25, 2011This is a bad game from top to bottom, and it doesn't deserve a moment of your attention.
Nov 1, 2011Both an insult to gamers and a step backward for the Kinect. We didn't even get to mentioning the recycled dialogue and animations, the horrendous texture popping, or the out-of-sync subtitles. And a $50 asking price? Must... not... smash... keyboard.
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 7
Mixed: 0 out of 7
Negative: 4 out of 7
Apr 13, 2012Ok, the game has problems (mainly aiming which jumps around a lot), BUT its the 1st FPS on the 1st motion sensing system. These guys would probably slam on Atari 2800 for having bad graphics and poor game play back in 1980! We'll all probably laugh about it when Kinect 2 comes out, but it does get credit for being 1st and you can buy it for 20$ now! BUY IT! ITS FUN!… Expand
Nov 21, 2011I've been playing it for at least a week now, and I actually have been enjoying it. Proof is in the achievements ;) (RICKMANX) Sure it takes a little getting used to the aiming by making your hand a gun (cuz we've never done that as kids!) but I really haven't had much trouble with it. Ok I'll also agree the story isn't much either, but I don't care. I get a much more involved "Time Crises" experience shooting and grenadin' baddies and getting some exercise in the process. Only real complaint I have with it is I wish it had more checkpoints during a mission. Sucks to have to redo the run from scratch if you get waxed, but so far its more a minor inconvience as I'm still getting through it. My advice: rent it, and see for yourself.… Expand
Nov 17, 2011LOL. This game isnt that bad... however it could have been alot better if a shooting peripheral came along with it. It feels very awkward aiming and shooting with your arms.… Expand
Nov 6, 2011One of the worst examples of a game in existence. Almost everything about this game is done wrong and I nearly threw my Kinect out of the bedroom window after the first level.… Expand
May 5, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The concept for gameplay is perfect. The premise of the story line is excellent. The kinect fails to offer the responsiveness or accuracy that the game demands. The graphics are poorly executed but only stand out so much due the lack of ambience or environment. Forget whatever trash you have read about the institution called "Black water" or more recently known as Xe or Academi. Everything they've been accused of would have been disregarded if performed by the department of defense. What really kills this title is the dialogue. The same cheesy lines are repeated whenever you change characters. It was a good idea to swap characters who each have their own weapon systems. It was a good idea to have numerous paths through levels that players choose. It was a good idea to address the plight of African governments failing under pressure from local warlords and the UN being unable to fully address the problem. It was a good idea to use the arcade rail style game play to pair with the kinect.
It was too ambitious to create an all kinect shooter. It lags and skips meaning that quick and accurate fire us impossible. The controls are lackluster at best and infuriating at worst. The graphics are laugh ably substandard for the year 2011. This is the year of Forza 4 and Battlefield 3. Halo Reach and Sky rim used ancient engines yet produced marvelous visuals. The dialogue is bland and repetitive. Sound effects are awful. The a?chievements require *numerous* playthroughs meaning that cheevo-hunters should look elsewhere.
Its not worth owning. Its not worth renting. In fact, its not worth playing at all. Its annoying that a chance for a kinect shooter failed. A chance for a black water game failed. A chance for a game to address the civil wars in Africa failed. That this game was such an opportunity is the greatest failure of all.… Expand
Nov 26, 2011So some of the most despicable human beings decided to ride the waves of their murdering names straight into a video game? What the hell? In what world does this make any sense at all. In reality, it doesn't. This half assed title is just another jingoistic "shoot brown people in the Middle East" game trying to ride the success of CoD and BF, but with no merits of it's own. This terrible game deserves nothing more than to die a slow, quiet death in the bargain bin, which is much more than the people who share it's namesake deserve.… Expand

Browse: Football Premier League Liverpool
Anyone worried about ownership ??
Premier League Liverpool
by wantno19asap (U14338114) 13 September 2010
The suppose deadline day on 6th of October will see our club being taken over by RBS or a new owner/owners or most worryingly the Yanks may extend the loan period.No one really knows what is going to happen . What is clear is that unless ownership is settled we will struggle financially which is reflected in the last few transfer windows. We are making profit in transfer windows (by selling players) yet we do not have the means to buy a striker for the last 18 months. Why wait at the last minute to buy a striker when we had the whole summer to buy one ?? We are always after a bergain!

'When you see how little the season tickets are at these German clubs compared to English teams, and they are prepared to boycott it. It would be great for the English game, if the fans just decided they wouldn't pay �20,�30,�40,�50 etc. a game. It costs �25 for me to see Leeds, in the Championship. But I doubt a full boycott will ever happen for any club.'

All of the money in football now & yet we have clubs on the verge of financial ruin - some in & out of administration - sooner or later the bubble has to burst. These players - as good as a minority of them are - are not worth the idiotic wages or the celebrity status that they get. They are no better than you & me, just people doing a job, & most of them can't handle the fame or the money anyway, so it is wasted on them.

People have missed the point & turned this into English vs German football. It is about the German people (& the French) taking direct action that can make a difference instead of just moaning about it saying it won't work.

I have to admit the Liverpool fans have a much bigger reason to boycott their club because these fickle United followers were quite happy a few years ago when the Glacers arrived bragging as they usually do about the boring myth of hw their club is the biggest in the World. For Liverpool fans I say good luck to the United fans I say " if you cant hack the Glazer family then TOUGH!"

Your handbag is as important to your fashion statement as your shoes, jewelry, or any other accessory you wear. Your handbag can take your image from dull and boring to bold and sophisticated or fun and sexy. That's why it's so important to know how to choose the right handbag. Check out http://www.tbdress.com/Topic/Christmas-Bags-Deals-25-100542/
The strap length of your handbag can be vital to your overall look. If your busty, a short-strap shoulder bag that snuggles under your arm will draw the eye straight to your bust. To visually reduce the appearance of a large bust try a women handbag that rests closer to your waist or hips to draw the eye away from your bust and give your body more balance. Of course if you would like to look bustier just the opposite will work. If you have wide hips a short strapped shoulder bag will help draw the eye up and away from your hips. A satchel style handbag like a doctor bag or speedy style bag works well with most body types since these are generally carried on your arm and not over your shoulder where they will hang close to your body.
We all like to carry a handbag that is stylish, fashionable and figure flattering but unfortunately it still needs to be functional. If you need to purchase a smaller bag to accent your body type look for a bag that features pockets and organizer compartments to help the with the daily function of the bag. Choosing a user friendly material for a handbag is a very important part of the function of a handbag. As a mother of four children, I know that we sometimes have to sacrifice style for function.
For a polished and put together look, always be consistent in the simularity of the style and purpose of your handbag and shoes. To create a finished look wear shoes and a bag that are both suited for the activity or situation. It is not necessary for your bag and shoes to be an exact match in color as long as they compliment each other in style and mood.

I wouldn't want to fight anymore either if Brock Lesnar beat me to a pulp.
Heath Herring Comfortable Acting, Not In A Rush To Return To Fighting
4 movies filmed, 3-4 more in the works, UFC heavyweight Heath Herring is not in a rush to return to fighting. With health insurance and retirement in full effect from his production company, 31 year old Herring is going to let this movie career play out before even thinking of returning to the sport.

That's perfect cause I'm in no rush to watch him fight…
I hope Herring has another career under his belt because his acting sucks just like the last couple of fights he had.
I dont think he will ever want another shot at fighting Brock.
i think that fight was maybe the final straw in his career, he said himself he got a serious beatdown and could hardly move for days after.
yeah he's looking for a less painfull paycheck

It's not your imagination: Rush hour is getting worse
TomTom's real-time GPS stats show the average Toronto route takes 27% more time at peak hours, and that's growing.

GTA commutes are getting slower even as technology gets faster.
Despite live cameras, GPS devices that show traffic jams in real-time and online route planning that should cut down commuting time, new data transmitted directly from thousands of cars in Toronto show that rush hour is growing progressively worse.
Toronto has the 5th worst traffic congestion on the continent, according to a new report put out by European GPS manufacturer TomTom.
That's worse than New York, Chicago or Miami, though better than Los Angeles, Vancouver, San Francisco and Montreal.
TomTom measures congestion by calculating how much longer a commute takes during rush hour than it would at times when traffic is free-flowing.
Over the second quarter of 2012, drivers took 27 per cent longer to get to their destination in Toronto during peak periods than they would at other times. That's 5 per cent slower than in the previous quarter.
The company uses real-time traffic statistics garnered from GPS units in vehicles that travelled more than 8.8 million kilometers in the GTA between April and June this year.
"Unlike other reports, our Congestion Index reflects the real travel times of a large, representative community within the area," said TomTom spokesperson Nick Cohn. "It is not only on highways, but also on local roads and arterials, providing a fuller picture of congestion on the area on whole."
Statistics Canada pegs Toronto's 66-minute daily commute as the worst in the country, though this measure takes into account all forms of transport, not just driving.
Previously, StatsCan put Toronto's commute at 81 minutes — the worst in North America — but revised that time down this year because of better data collection, not because things got any better for Torontonians.
Because the data is transmitted directly from drivers to TomTom, the company is able to break it down to specifics. It identified Thursday as the most congested evening commute of the week, and Wednesday as the worst morning commute.
Fridays have the least congested commutes, both morning and evening, despite all those people trying to get out of town for the weekend.
"Based on this data," Cohn said, "we suspect that many people make the effort to leave earlier on Fridays to avoid peak travel hours."

Verizon is already selling the new HTC One, and you can get two of them cheap as long as you don't mind signing a new contract. The buy-one-get-one-free deal on Verizon is enticing if you need two phones, but it gets even better. You can get 30% off the cost of the phone you're actually paying for.
The Ouya hasn't lived up to expectations, but the console is getting really affordable if you're looking for something quick and easy for living room gaming. Today's Amazon gold box deal includes the Ouya for $69.99 ($30 off retail) plus $25 in game credit. It's kind of like getting an Ouya for $45, all things considered.
Has the prospect of KitKat and streaming PC games from anywhere not sold you on NVIDIA's SHIELD gaming machine? Not even the promise of Portal? Well aren't you hard to please. How about a price cut, bringing the final retail cost of the SHIELD down to $199? That's cheaper than the Nexus 7, and it puts the SHIELD in the same range as dedicated gaming portables like the PlayStation Vita and the Nintendo 3DS.
Kobo is not a name that you hear a lot in the tablet space, but it does make them. Kobo's pitch is directed at heavy readers, but the Arc 10HD is packing some serious gaming muscle behind its bookish exterior. For a limited time, you can have this device for $299.99, which is $100 cheaper than usual.
The Kobo Arc 10HD has a Tegra 4 ARM chip, 2GB of RAM, a 10-inch 2560x1600 LCD, and 16GB of storage.
The Amazon Appstore has so many apps, the company's giving them away! In honor of the shop's birthday week, the company is offering a bundle of Appstore Hits available today and tomorrow. The collection includes over fifteen apps adding up to over $50 worth of content.
Sometimes sales point you in the direction of an app or game that you would not have otherwise known about. That's cool, but the best is when something you've been yearning for goes on sale. That's when you pounce and pat yourself on the back for being so patient. Today is quite possibly one of those days.
The Humble Mobile Bundle 4 was already really great. Zombie Gunship, Riptide GP2, Badland... I mean, these are games you should have already picked up from Google Play, but you can save money with the bundle. Now the deal is even sweeter with three more games for those who pay more than the average price (currently sitting at $3.69).

mev. On September 29th, Feast of the Holy Archangels – this time the traditional Mass toward 2014 was celebrated in covenant with all the countries where Schoenstatt exists in some way even if this information is unknown.
Quote of the week. Covenant Culture - it is simply brilliant. They have captured the Schoenstatt DNA with two words, its secret— mystery and personal ideal … with these two words they have synthesized the Schoenstatt Mission and Vision. And it is so tangible that it is possible to experience it as our original way of expressing our organism of attachments born of the Covenant of Love. This is the great discovery and gift of Conference 2014 in this jubilee time!
org. There is something new at schoenstatt.org. Obviously. There are new articles of "News" every day, there are new apostolic projects every week in the virtual tents of Covenant Culture (the FAB magazine of Austria, the Bioethics Commission of Argentina, and many translations in Portuguese and English), moreover there are the new official 2014 newsletter and important new texts about the Masses toward 2014 and the Year of the Missionary stream on the sister page www.schoentatt2014.org, there is updated information for visitors, especially in Portuguese, and then after a long wait another of those interviews with collaborators. This is obvious. But there is something new that is truly different. A map. A map that has the potential to create an addiction—a map that shows visits to schoenstatt.org in an instant– A map in which each visit leaves a star– A map that within a few days has become a map of the presence of the Covenant of Love. A map with surprises. A map of the internationally attached family on pilgrimage toward 2014.
org. Carmen Maria Rogers, from Santiago, Chile, has translated articles for schoenstatt.org for three years (although it seems she has always done it); she edits and writes articles, and a year ago she became the coordinator of the team of translators "to Spanish". She relates what her work means to her, and why she is on fire for 2014 and the Covenant Culture.
mev. This Saturday, September 22nd, the last Mass was celebrated in Covenant with a country where Schoenstatt is known to be. Timor Leste is located in the East of Indonesia. It was a colony of Portugal, so the majority of its inhabitants are Catholics. It is a small nation on the Asian continent with about 780,000 inhabitants, who have suffered attacks, massacres and destruction, which only stopped thanks to the intervention of the U.N. Peace Corps. It was through one of the Brazilian soldiers from these troops that a Pilgrim Mother reached the continent. Since October 2004, Father Adriano from Maliano worked in the service of the Rosary Campaign of the Pilgrim Mother.
Fr. Andrew Pastore. The year of the missionary stream is fast approaching, expectancy is growing, apostolic projects and missionary initiatives as well as personal missionary steps are anticipating this year, that, in coincidence with the Universal Church`s Year of Faith at the service of New Evangelization, will lead us ever more into the Jubilee stream and a growing awareness of apostolate as the goal and reason for all that we do as the Apostolic Schoenstatt Movement.
Quote of the week. Schoenstatt Apostolic Movement. That is what Schoenstatt was called when I learned about it in 1939 as a fifteen-year old student during the Third Reich, and I was enthused. The apostolate is the reason Schoenstatt exists, and it is the objective of everything we do.
Fr. Andrew Pastore. With only 759 days missing for the great Covenant Pilgrimage of October 18, 2014, a new edition of the official 2014 newsletter "Towards 2014" has been sent out. It is also available as pdf, and in the following languages: German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and English. Feel free to share and to subscribe.
ONLY 0 days 0 hours and 0 minutes from OCTOBER 18, 2014!
ECUADOR, Martin and María Elena Vilches. On September 15th, the Schoenstatters throughout the world will commemorate the 44th Anniversary of Father Kentenich's death. Undoubtedly, his greatest work is the Schoenstatt Family. And his inheritance is immense. Clearly, what is the most outstanding is his example of giving himself to God and his love for the Blessed Mother. Whoever observes his work admires his vision. His charism and Father's love keeps him alive among his children, his presence and guidance is felt at every moment.
Silvia Losada. In the midst of our pain following the Original Pilgrim Mother accident, we are wondering what God and the MTA want to tell us. A similar event as we are preparing for the year of missionary current can be read in various ways. My hearts tells me that just as João Pozzobon was the seed and leaven, giving his life so that the Pilgrim Mother Campaign could flourish among hundreds of thousands of missionaries, bearers of the shrine's graces to the places the MTA picture visited, she also wants to shake off our lethargy. Why don't we begin the year of mission by being strong and dignified so that this event will not paralyze us but will instead courageously impel us to become true missionaries for our time? We needn't worry about the difficulties and sufferings. The Pilgrim Mother frame may be broken, but its essence – the image of the MTA and her crown – will last forever.

It was the final dual meet of the season Wednesday night and fans from both Turlock and Pitman High sat in the stands of Turlock's girls gym, giddy with anticipation and ready to watch the cross-town rivals compete on the mat. For a few Bulldog seniors it would be their last chance to wrestle in front of a home crowd-but some never got the chance.
Normally Pitman High's aim is a top tier finish at its annual home tournament, the Rumble in the Jungle, but with eight wrestlers sidelined due to match count the Pride hit the mat on Saturday with their sights set on individual success.
It was the matchup of the season Friday night.
It happens nearly every time they step on the same court.
Turlock High wrestling improved to 3-0 in the Central California Conference this week with dual wins over Merced High in Tuesday and Buhach Colony High on Wednesday. The Bulldogs defeated the Bears by winning 10 of the night's 14 matches and put down the Thunder by winning 12 of 15 matches.
Brandon Harris is a Pitman High original.
Pitman High opened Tuesday's game against rival Turlock High with a Britney Leon trey- an early sign of things to come.
Denair High's girls led Southern Athletic League rival Delhi High for the entire first half of Thursday's basketball game, but with one quarter left to play the situation seemed dire for the Coyotes. After struggling to contain Denair's offense, the Hawks closed the gap on the Coyotes and pulled away with a 13 point lead.
ESCALON - A 15-point Hilmar High deficit at the half suddenly expanded in the midst of a 21-8 third quarter run for Escalon's varsity boys basketball team as abysmal scoring plagued the Yellowjackets throughout a 56-33 Trans Valley League defeat on Tuesday.
It was more than just another basketball game Monday night when Turlock Christian High hosted its arch rival Ripon Christian High. The less than spacious Calvary Baptist Gym was packed to the gills as both Eagles (14-3 overall, 4-0 SAL) and Knights (9-6 overall, 3-1 SAL) supporters watched from the bleachers, hallways, and even the floor as the defending Southern Athletic League Co-Champions had it out.
While one former Turlock quarterback wowed the nation in San Francisco on Saturday, another was on the other side of the country doing his best to put in an impressive performance of his own and turn the heads of some college coaches.
Hilmar High notched its first Trans Valley League win Thursday night with a 62-57 victory over Riverbank High at home. The Lady Yellowjackets (13-3 overall, 1-2 TVL) struggled early with inaccurate shooting and a lack of offensive rebounds, but by the end of the first quarter they had beat the Bruins (11-5 overall, 1-2 TVL) back and taken the game's momentum with fast break layups and a peppering of perimeter shots.
Turlock High won its first Central California Conference dual meet of the season on Wednesday when Atwater High came into town and dropped all but one of the night's 14 matches. The Bulldogs (7-3 overall, 1-0 CCC) finished with 68 team points to Atwater's 3, a number boosted by seven pins, two technical falls, and a major decision.
In the recent past, the Central California Conference has been led by Turlock and Golden Valley High wrestling with Pitman High not too far behind. The Pride entered this season determined to re-shuffle those standings and on Wednesday, when the Cougars visited Pitman's gymnasium, they got their chance to topple last season's second place team.
Turlock High snapped a three game losing streak on Tuesday with a victory over Golden Valley High in the Central California Conference opener. The Bulldogs (1-0 CCC) trailed for most of the first half, but a second half comeback effort made it 49-45 by the end of regulation.
Turlock High has dusted off its wrestling gear and is back on the mat for the 2014 winter season. After finishing third in the Central California Conference last year and graduating two state qualifiers, the Bulldogs return with a handful of experienced wrestlers and a crop of fresh faces as they aim to take league and return to state once again.
The sport of water polo has thrived in Turlock and the rest of the Central Valley since its introduction roughly 40 years ago by the late Steve Feaver.
The Pitman High varsity wrestling team is coming off the most successful season in school history after winning its first Central California Conference title in 2013-14 and posting a 12-1 overall record.
Trans Valley League
Coming off a devastating defeat to Sonora High in the CIF Division-IV Sac-Joaquin Section Championship, Hilmar High's volleyball team was hoping to bounce back in the CIF Northern California State Tournament but things ended quickly for the Yellowjackets who lost in straight sets, 0-3.
Four days after winning the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section championship in one of its hardest matches of the season, Pitman High played Oakland Tech High in what could be argued was its easiest match.
The Turlock Christian High volleyball team is moving on to the Northern California State Tournament semifinal after defeating Fall River in the opening round of the CIF Division-VI Nor Cal State Tournament, 3-1, on Tuesday.
Pitman High volleyball etched a place for itself in Sac-Joaquin Section history Friday night with its first ever Division I championship victory.
The Hilmar High volleyball team went into Friday's Section championship game against Sonora looking for a very different outcome than last year's matchup. The Yellowjackets left the UC Davis court disappointed, however, because for the second straight year Sonora outplayed Hilmar to take the banner.
Winning a Section title isn't easy, but the Turlock Christian High volleyball team makes it seem so, especially after taking home three consecutive banners.
Pitman High is headed to the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section championship match for the first time ever after Tuesday's 3-1 (19-25, 25-14, 25-13 and 25-20) victory over St. Francis High of Sacramento.
Maybe the second time is the charm.
The list of Turlock High athletes moving on to the collegiate level continues to grow.

Many museums across the UK have mysterious creatures, called mermen in their collections. This merman was thought to have been 'caught' in Japan in the 18th century. The Japanese word for merman is 'ningyo', which literally means, 'man fish'. Mermen have long held an important place in Japanese culture. One Shinto temple in Fujinomiya, Japan has a mermaid mummy that is thought to be 1,400 years old. According to one ancient Japanese legend, a fisherman caught a merman in his fishing net. The merman with its dying breath predicted a time of great prosperity, and a fatal epidemic. The fatal epidemic could only be prevented by owning a merman.
Another tale is of a young girl called Yao Bikuni. She eats the flesh of a merman and becomes immortal. She outlives several husbands, and then decides to become a travelling nun. After many centuries have passed, she becomes so miserable that she chooses to take her own life. After hearing these stories, suddenly everyone wanted a merman of their own! They were bought to display as curiosities in the 18th and 19th century. Ofcourse, these mermen were all fakes. Most of them are made of part monkey, and part fish moulded together.
This merman is made of the dried up parts of a monkey, with a fish tail. It is probably mounted together on a wooden support. It was donated to the British Museum by Prince Arthur of Connaught in the early 20th century.

The PWC170: comparison of different stage lengths in 11-16 year olds.
ABSTRACT It is unknown how the estimation of aerobic fitness in children and adolescents compares among physical working capacity (PWC) protocols with different stage lengths. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) compare PWC tests with 2-, 3-, and 6-min stage lengths in youth, and (2) examine the relationship between PWC at a heart rate (HR) of 170 beats min(-1) (PWC170) and peak oxygen consumption (VO(2)peak). Fifty youth (31 m, 19 f), aged 11-16 years participated. Each participant visited the laboratory twice and performed three PWC tests (2-, 3-, 6-min stages) on a cycle ergometer. Tests usually consisted of three stages of increasing loads with the goal of reaching HR ≥ 165 beats min(-1). Individual regression lines were created to predict workload at HR = 170 beats ∙ min(-1) for each test. Participants completed two VO(2peak) tests, both running and cycling. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare PWC170 values. Pearson correlation was used to assess the relationships between VO(2peak) and power output for different PWC170 stage lengths. The three PWC170 protocols differ significantly; therefore, it is not advisable to directly compare results from different protocols. Furthermore, PWC170 showed moderate associations with VO(2peak), with the 2-min protocol showing the best correlation.

Article: Relationship between nutrition knowledge and physical fitness in semiprofessional soccer players[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Whereas nutrition has a crucial role on sport performance, it is not clear to what extend nutrition knowledge is associated with physical fitness. The aim of this study was to examine the current level of nutrition knowledge of soccer players and whether this level is associated with physical fitness. Soccer players (n=185, aged 21.3±4.9 yr, weight 72.3±8.4 kg and height 177.5±6.4 cm) performed a battery of physical fitness tests (sit-and-reach test, SAR; physical working capacity in heart rate 170, PWC170; and Wingate anaerobic test, WAnT), and completed an 11-item nutrition knowledge questionnaire (NKQ). Low to moderate Pearson correlations (0.15<r<0.34, p<0.05) of NKQ with age, weight, height, fat free mass (FFM), SAR, peak power and mean power of WAnT were observed. Soccer players with high score in NKQ were older (4.4 yr (2.2;6.6), mean difference (95% confidence intervals)), heavier (4.5 kg (0.6;8.3)) with higher FFM (4.0 kg (1.1;6.8)) and peak power (59 W (2;116)) than their counterparts with low score. The moderate score in the NKQ suggests that soccer players should be targeted for nutrition education. Although the association between NKQ and physical fitness was low to moderate, there were indications that better nutrition knowledge might result in higher physical fitness and consequently soccer performance.Scientifica. 07/2014; epub ahead of print.

Article: The effect of age on positional differences in anthropometry, body composition, physique and anaerobic power of elite basketball players[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The main aim of this study was to examine differences in physical and physiological characteristics, with an emphasis on anaerobic power, of male basketball players by age and playing position. Methods. Basketball players (n=101), classified into three age groups: under 15 yrs (U-15, n=35, 14.28±0.72 yrs), under 18 yrs (U-18, n=35, 16.23±0.74 yrs) and older than 18 yrs (Elite, n=31, 25.66±5.09 yrs), participated in this study. The variables under examination were anthropometric characteristics, body composition, physical working capacity test, 3 min step test, Wingate anaerobic test, force-velocity test, sit-and-reach test, handgrip strength test and countermovement vertical jump with arm-swing. Results. U-15, U-18 and elite players differed for all aforementioned parameters with the older group scoring better than the younger (η2≥0.06, p<0.048). In Elite group, centers were heavier and taller than guards (22.3 kg and 20.9 cm, respectively) and forwards (14.3 kg and 10.6 cm), and forwards were taller than guards (10.2 cm). Guards scores were higher than centers in maximal power (3.61 W.kg-1 ) and in peak power (1.39 W.kg-1). Forwards scored higher than centers in mean power (1.25 W.kg-1). In the U-18 group, guards were stronger in the relative strength than centers (2.4 kg.kg-1). In the U-15 group, centers were taller than guards (17.8 cm) and forwards (9.7 cm), and forwards were also taller than guards (8.1 cm). Conclusions. Based on the findings of this study, it is concluded that positional differences, especially in anaerobic power, in male basketball vary by age. Thus, young basketball players should not be regarded as miniature adult basketball players with regards to their physical and physiological characteristics, and their positional specialization.Sport Sciences for Health 07/2014; epub ahead of print..

"This program is possibly the most important we have in Pakistan, really interesting to see America through their eyes, makes me proud to be an American and hopeful about Pakistan." -- Dr. Stephen P. Cohen; Sr. Fellow, Foreign Policy Studies Program, The Brookings Institution

Vernacular journalists and bloggers often are at a disadvantage as news outlets around the world increasingly rely on social media and digital tools to engage audiences. They may lack the language and skills needed to meet the demands of an online newsroom.

Plagued by the twin challenges of a slow economy and digital disruption, many U.S. news organizations are cutting back on foreign coverage and are shrinking their editorial staffs.

The deadline to apply for the 2014 program has passed. All applicants were notified of their status in April 2014.
Over the years, journalists of color have had few opportunities to work as foreign correspondents. That's especially the case in today's media environment, with sharp cutbacks by many news outlets in their international coverage. At the same time, communities of color rarely receive coverage of global issues that directly affect their lives, from the migration of jobs overseas to wars fought by minorities serving in the U.S. military.

The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor began on Monday. Despite a strong partisan divide over her candidacy, she is expected to be confirmed by the full Senate after she has a chance to make her opening statement and answer questions from the Judiciary Committee. If confirmed, she will be the first Latina and only the third woman justice to serve on the nation's highest court.
The Supreme Court confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor began Monday with leading Democrats and Republicans signaling a fierce ideological debate over her qualifications to sit on the high court.
The Judiciary Committee is considering whether Sotomayor, a federal appellate judge, should be the 111th person to sit on the nation's highest court.
[...] "Judge Sotomayor's journey to this hearing room is a truly American story," committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, said after gaveling the first session to order. "Hers is a success story in which all Americans can take pride. ... Let no one demean this extraordinary woman."

I can't even see,
Anyone else.
It's as if no other girl exists.
I stand here and see,
20 girls walk by.
Every one of them,
Reminds me of you.
Why you ask?
I can't always say.
The one with the red hair…
My girl's hair is brighter.
The one with the blue eyes…
My girl's eyes are more heavenly.
The pretty girls…
My girl is just as pretty,
But is sweet to me too.
She may not admit that she's pretty,
Or she may say she's a little pretty,
But who said I was always talking,
About her physical beauty.
Sure… my girl's got a hot bod…
But that's just a bonus with this package.
She's got a heart of pure gold,
And she shares it with me daily.
I love my Little Rose Petal.
I gave her that name,
And she's kept it for herself,
To this very day.
Her images shroud me daily,
And her heart shrouds me with her love.
I can't get enough of her.
Thinking of her,
Is the easiest thing to do.
Seeing her face is,
Just a blink away.
I love Amandra,
With all that I have.
And may I make her life special,
And make her life a joy daily.

DESIGN TUTORIAL - BASIC CHARACTER CREATIONYo! I get a lot of questions on how I create my characters, such as how do I come up with color schemes, markings, the basic idea, all that cool stuff~ X3
So I'd thought I do a little design tutorial. This is a TEXT based tutorial, meant to give the tricks/tips that I use.
So prepare to read! I will be using my characters as examples.
This tutorial covers design tips for both ANIMALS AND HUMANS.
The Idea: Where and How Do I start?
So you want to create a new character huh? But you don't know where to start with the process....Hmm. When I'm coming up with a new character, I start with the personality about 75% of the time. It doesn't have to be in-depth, just basic personality traits.
So for example I might want a character that is:
- Loud, aggressive, rude, doesn't give a fuck about anythi
True FriendRemember the city
Remember the town
Remember the place
That we hung around
We ran through the rain
Laughing and skipping
We came back inside
Giggling and dripping
So many years later
We've grown far apart
But we somehow came back
And gave a new start
Our laugher resumed
and so did our play
but one day you promised
that even to this day
"Nothing will come between us
I'll always be there
You will always be my friend
and you know I'll always care"
With a smile and a wink
You gave me a hug
And there in your arms
I was so safe and so snug
But little did I know
that was the last time I'd see you
For when the knews was spoken the next day
There was no doubting it was true
MLP dragons and how they operate (In theory)First of all, Why dosn't Spike have wings like the other dragons we've seen?? Is the term "Dragon" a catch all for any reptile that breaths fire like how "Cat" can mean anything from a Tiger to a Tabby and Spike just happens to be a different "Species" of dragon from the Heraldic Dragons we've seen thus far?????
We the audiance haven't been told a lot about how dragons operate in this universe, thus like the ponies and Spike himself, know little about them. Surprisingly the episode that gives us the most information is "Dragon Quest", but not because of what we're told, but because of what we can extrapolate and what can be compared to real world animal behavior .
First,consitering that this comparison to this real worls animal will come up the most, I feel that it would be a good idea to go alittle bit about African Elephant beahvior. In an episode of animal planets Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, an African national park (I don't recall wit
InformationBlake that little thieve is back, or should we call her Renkat now?
I watched her awhile because many people told me that she wanted to change herself (again..)
And now, what must we see? She is stealing characters, styles and is even tracing from Photos (she isn't referencing them, she is tracing them!)
She doesn't even paid the Points back that she stole WolfHearts got once her password from her parents on her feakin Account to pay the Points back that feakin still had, that wasn't enough for all those poor people - Blake got enough Time and Points to pay them all back but instead of changing herself she is still stealing.
Don't think her "haters" are trolls. She made them by herself, she had more than 50 Accounts here and on everyone she stole drawings - even tried to sell drawings from others, and she won't stop - even if she doesn't steal public anymore, stealing characters and copying Styles isn't better!
This character here http://i49.tinypic.com/2hfv0vm.jpg is stolen from
Artist Association? - Commissions and UnderpricingI'd like to appeal to every artist (ESPECIALLY for those who offer commissions) to read this.
Please consider to SHARE THIS, if art means anything to you. Thanks!
Building an Artist Association? - About Commissions and Underpriced Art
So underpriced art has always been a well-known problem in the artist society; Be it visual arts or artisan and crafts, literature or any other artform. This is a huge problem for every professional artist who depends on living from art.
Only because art seems to be something anybody can do, it is often less respected than renown occupations such as doctors or engineers.
As an illustration student I know it is more or less the same thing though. There is always need for art (e.g. advertising, logos, book illustrations) just as there is need for doctors and engineers. In
Contest is Over!I want to thank everyone who participated in my contest! It's very much appreciated!
I want to also thank the people who have been advertising my contest. I'll acknowledge these people later because I'm on my phone and doing this on a computer would be much easier.
Judging will be done in one week. (School, of course, is interfering with my progress of things.)
Again, thank you very much for entering! Please check out all of the amazing entries below!
Yup yup! I am finally giving you the deets for the contest. Hope you will enter and have fun!
The theme of the contest is "Holidays." You must draw my character(s) in a holiday scene. It can be any holiday! Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc!
Rant smant pants Ant.I am not naming any names, and if you somehow know who/which ones, or what im talking about keep it to yourself.
I found out some people draw me things and are nice to me just to get free art back from me, or try to be my friend so they can get free art. I am disgusted with this kind of behaviour. there has been around 3 incidents now and whoever gets to know about stuff like this and decides to tells me, did the right thing and im very thankfull to know whats going on.
So im making this journal now incase more are sitting around doing this, because if I do find out I will not be a very happycrab
Not only this , but I also found out these people are real assholes towards other people. They ganged up on a 13 year old calling them a looser, they dont respect their friends and they dont even have the balls to talk to me directly.
If you are in a mindset that you will get art back from me by drawing me something then stop drawing me something. Its called a gi
Acorns and Ponies and Soapboxes
Controversy is once again brewing among fans of diminutive cartoon horses. It seems like a weekly ritual, this constant ebb and flow of panic and relief, unchecked caps-lock accompanied hyperbole and the arrogant dismissal of the concerns of an understandably protective fanbase. This time, though, the fear, worry, anger, and resentment are ratcheted up to 11 as folks worry for the future of the show as well as its most popular character. It all comes down to one question- is Twilight Sparkle- the adorkably awkward student of Princess Celestia about to ascend to Princesshood…uh, Princessdom? Princessity?
Is Twilight Sparkle going to turn into a princess permanently? And more to the point, what does this signify for the future of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

The most stylish men and women in the GQ universe share the one item in their closet they'll never let go of
"Fashion obsesses over the it bag. The best bags carry our burdens but shine for craftsmanship and style. This unassuming soft calfskin bag by Maison Martin Margiela came to me as a gift in 2008 and has proven itself for over five years. It is generous enough to carry it all, but so gentle and considerate it has earned my love and respect. It can never hold more than enough."
