The singer art directed this exclusive campaign for the label, tapping her four favorite It girls to model new styles and share their own fashion-savvy insights (see roundtable chat below).
Trail Blazers
Solange Knowles thinks you need to meet these awesome ladies. We tend to agree.
What's your best kept shopping secret?
Eva: My mom's advice. She is the only person who will give me an honest opinion when I'm considering a new purchase.
Jill: Thrift store shopping around Palm Beach and Miami! Women who move down there to retire just unload their crazy designer wardrobes to the Goodwill. It's a gold mine.
Saada: Borrowing from friends!
Who are your style icons?
Marjon: I'm inspired by so many women these days. Chloë Sevigny, Solange, Diana Vreeland, Miriam Makeba, Diane Kruger, Michelle Elie. I respond to women with bite and intellect, who take chances, and seem supremely happy and secure within their own skin.
Jill: I've always loved Jane Birkin, Debbie Harry, and Lizzy Mercier Descloux. Right now I really into what Ursina Gysi is up to. She has the most original style and sensibility that I've seen in a long time‑—a little sporty and a little '70s, while very "next".
What current trend can you not stand?
Saada: The lack of women of color on the runway.
Eva: As a hat enthusiast I would have to say the ongoing trend of hatless-ness!
Marjon: Peplum tops. It's been done.
If your closet could talk, what would it ask for this season?
Saada: A new winter coat! One that is versatile, can be worn with jeans and a tee, but can also be dressed up.
Jill: A pair of black Prada Spazzolato Fume Leather Sandals.
Marjon: All things Carven! She wants their entire Fall 2013 collection, and then some.
Finish this sentence: "If I won $100 in Bingo, I would…"
Eva: I would buy myself a ridiculous amount of fresh flowers and a nice bottle of wine.
Saada: Treat myself and a friend to a nice dinner!
Jill: Buy 100 Lottery tickets.

With just a few days remaining in the regular season to tune up for the District 5-AAA baseball tournament, local coaches are hoping to fine tune their squads to prepare for a strong postseason run.
"We're hoping to get hot at the right time, again" declared Coach Joe Shamblin, whose Walker Valley squad caught fire last May and made a run to the TSSAA state semifinals. "We know what one of those runs are like. Even though we lost a lot (seven) of players off that team, we still have guys who are capable of doing the same again."
While Ooltewah (19-11, 10-2 District 5-AAA) goes into the district tournament at Soddy-Daisy as the No. 1 seed, Bradley County teams — Walker Valley (17-12, 9-3), Bradley Central (18-10, 9-3) and Cleveland (14-18, 7-5) — hold down the next three spots.
The event gets underway Wednesday at the north Hamilton County school, with Coach Ted Carson's fourth-seeded Blue Raiders taking on No. 5 Rhea County (10-13, 3-9), opening play at 5 p.m. Coach Travis Adams' third-seeded Bears face No. 6 McMinn County (3-20, 2-10) in the nightcap at 8.
Cleveland swept the Eagles by a combined 12-1 score during the third week of the regular season, while Bradley did the same to the Cherokees in a pair of one-run (2-1, 3-2) games the following week.
"All of our district games have been close," commented coach Adams. "There is no clear-cut team you want to play. You've got to beat whoever you are matched up against. It all depends on how you play that day."
Day 2 of the district event will see the second-seeded Mustangs play the host Trojans (6-19, 2-10) at 5 p.m. on May 2, while the regular-season champion Owls will await the Cleveland-Rhea winner at 8 p.m.
"Although they only have six wins, Soddy-Daisy is a tough team. Playing them on their home field won't be easy," declared coach Shamblin, whose team got past the Trojans 8-3 and 4-0 earlier this week.
A couple of key local players are hoping to be healed up by the district tournament as Walker Valley ace Kamren Barnes has been pitching the last couple of weeks with a couple of broken fingers on his nonpitching hand and Bradley hurler/third baseman Jacob Fowler has been nursing a shoulder injury.
Barnes' injury has prevented him from playing in the field (other than on the hill) and from hitting. Fowler has been used as a designated hitter, but has been unable to pitch or field. Both are hoping to be back to full playing condition for the postseason.
The double-elimination tournament will continue during the first weekend of May, plus final elimination games on May 6 and 7. The district championship game is slated for May 8.
The top two teams will advance to the Region 3-AAA Tournament, beginning May 13 against the top two squads from District 6-AAA.
During Wednesday's coaches' meeting in Soddy-Daisy, the All-District 5-AAA Team was selected with a dozen Bradley County players making the prestigious squad.
Walker Valley's honor players include Barnes, Caleb Longley, Chase Prince, Josh Poole and John Simmons.
Bradley players getting the nod are seniors Jacob Maynard, Caleb Pippenger, Charles Chavis and Nate Mills.
Taylor Thompson, Jake Wyrick and Kimsey Bell are the Raider contingent on the all-district squad.

When asked if "Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives," which opens Oct. 16 at the Museum of Science and Industry and marks the Walt Disney Co.'s 90th anniversary, will include any of Disney's more controversial creations (such as, for instance, Uncle Remus from "Song of the South" or the war-painted Native Americans who sing about "what makes the red man red" in "Peter Pan"), Nicholas Vega, manager of collections and exhibits for the Walt Disney Archives, talks instead about the exhibit's re-creation of a Disney animation office from the 1940s and "technology and innovation" associated with Disney's "multi-plane" camera.
"We have an early animator's office from the 1940s and we have that vignette re-created," Vega says. "We're telling the story of what sort of stories were produced in this type of setting so those are the stories we're showing."
A publicist also on the line chimes in: "Just to interject, the exhibit is a celebration. ... It's not about controversy or things like that. It's a celebration."
In light of that, what you will see — among almost 300 artifacts that were handpicked (largely by MSI) from Burbank, Calif., warehouses containing countless thousands — are props from animated and live-action Disney films ("20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "The Princess Diaries," "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Fantasia," etc.), the original script for Walt Disney's 1928 cartoon short "Steamboat Willie" (featuring the debut of Mickey Mouse), a partial re-creation of Uncle Walt's personal office and a section devoted to the 50th anniversary re-release of the 1964 movie musical "Mary Poppins."
There also will be stations where visitors can learn how to draw Disney characters and record film sound effects.
There's even a portion that focuses on Walt Disney's Chicago roots: He was born on the city's Northwest Side, attended McKinley High School and took courses at what is now the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
"The Disney family and Disney company have strong ties to the Midwest and specifically Chicago," Vega says, "so we felt this was an opportunity that we definitely couldn't pass up."
However, MSI exhibit design director David Woody says, "Chicago wasn't necessarily important by [Disney's] own admission to his development as an artist and a storyteller."
Nonetheless, it "certainly played into his life and he visited here on several occasions."
In addition to film artifacts, insight abounds into Walt Disney the man, the businessman and imaginative genius, much of it straight from his own mouth.
"The story line is really about Walt himself," Woody adds. "And it was important for us to give people the opportunity, especially younger generations, to connect.
"Walt Disney was a real person. He wasn't just this bigger-than-life entity that we think of as this big commercial powerhouse. There's certainly that side of the Disney company, but we weren't interested in that. Everyone knows that part.
"We wanted to talk about the part that connects to our own mission and our vision, which is to give people an understanding that this was a real human being."
Above all, Vega says, he and the other exhibit planners hope "Treasures" connects emotionally with those who view it. He adds that he is confident it will.
"At Disney, for the most part that emotional connection has already been created prior to the guests even walking into the space.
"So when guests come in to the 'Treasures' exhibit and they see the carpetbag, for instance, from 'Mary Poppins,' that's going to trigger something emotionally.
"Or when they see some of the model miniatures we have from the theme parks, people are going to remember riding those rides and having that connection.
"So that's definitely something that we feed on when we're telling that story and we're very much aware of that."

We take our medicine, rest, and return to work picking back up right were we left off, not thinking anything else about the illness we left behind but for one Cleveland resident, treating flu-like symptoms was just the beginning of a trying battle and an extended stay in the hospital.
"One morning, after arriving at work, I started feeling sick. I went to the doctor with flu-like symptoms," said Natalie Oglesby Weeks of Cleveland.
After being diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection, she was sent home with antibiotics and orders to rest.
The symptoms subsided for a few days, and she felt better, "until all of a sudden they returned with a vengeance," Natalie said.
She went back to the doctor, this time, requesting lab work.
"The flu test was negative, and my labs showed a slightly elevated blood count, but nothing to be concerned about. Once again, I was sent home with medicine," she said.
Two days later, she noticed drainage from a pen size hole on her upper leg.
The pain became more noticeable and seemed to have traveled to her side.
"It was to the point that I did not have any energy to walk. There was so much pain in my lower abdominal area even when I sat. I eventually went home, " said Natalie. "My sister called and later came by to check on me. That is when she noticed a black bruise on my side and insisted I get to the emergency room as quickly as possible."
Natalie's husband, Chris, rushed her to North Sunflower Medical Center.
By the time she was examined, the NSMC staff could see the infection in Natalie's upper leg was spreading down her leg.
Cultures were taken but it would be another 24-48 hours before results would be returned.
Natalie's temperature spiked and she continued to get weaker.
She was admitted to the hospital, and scheduled to see a surgeon the next morning.
"The next morning the surgeon came in, looked at my leg, and told me it needed to be cut on, but he was leaving to go out of town," said Natalie, "so they transferred me to Bolivar Medical Center."
When she arrived at BMC, she was seen by Dr. Blake, who gave orders for her to be rushed to the operating room.
Natalie was diagnosed with necrotizing fasciitis, also known as the flesh-eating bacteria syndrome, a rare, quickly progressing infection of the deeper layers of the skin and subcutaneous tissues that can attack people with a weaker immune system.
Natalie underwent three surgeries at Bolivar Medical Center to remove the infected and dying tissues, each followed by a blood transfusion.
She was then placed in ICU.
"My husband said they removed a pretty good bit of tissue," Natalie said.
After her third surgery, Natalie's family decided to have her transferred to Crossgates River Oaks Hospital in Brandon.
"Dr. Blake did a wonderful job here in Cleveland but I come from a very strong, very family-oriented family. They figured I'd have a better chance in a bigger hospital that had seen this before and were familiar with what we were dealing with," she said.
While in Brandon, Natalie endured five more surgeries and five more blood transfusions, the last being at the beginning of September.
She was also given rounds of antibiotics to combat any remaining infection.
After being bedridden in the hospital for a month and a half, she is now at home with her sister and slowly regaining strength in her legs.
She progressed to a walker, and is now walking without one as much as possible.
She is also completing her last set of antibiotics.
"My family and coworkers have been really good to me. My nieces are such a wonderful help in getting me everything I need and everyone at work is ready for me to come back," said Natalie. "They just want me to take my time and get well."
Natalie said she is unsure when she will be returning to work.
Her husband was told it could be seven to 12 months before she has recovered completely.
"I am on the road to recovery, but I still have a ways to go. Normal doctor visits will probably keep me in check at this time. They tell me they got it all, so I am not looking for a relapse," she said.
The Mississippi Blood Services Coach will be parked at the Cleveland Wal-Mart from noon to 7 p.m. on Friday for a special blood drive for Natalie Oglesby Weeks.
"I am glad the Mississippi Blood Service was able to provide me the blood I needed. I have a rare blood type and if it was not for them being able to provide the special blood that I needed, the situation could have been much worse," Natalie added.
"I really want people to understand this can happen to anybody. Please donate as much blood as you possibly can. If it weren't for the doctors, the donors, and the Mississippi Blood Service, I would not be here."

Toyota Camry Lease Questions
miko638 Posts: 2Just found this forum. Hope it's not to late for me. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I have been offered a 36month/12k mile lease in Connecticut for $310 for a 2011 Camry SE, 4-cyl, SE Value Package 1 and 17" alloys. Nothing more. Nothing down except $500 which includes first months payment. The "no haggle" price of this car is $24,265 off of a $25,495 listed MSRP. They are taking a 2009 Camry LE from me that I owe $800 on. I got the 2009 on Swap A Lease last year. (a deal that worked out very well for me) That lease is over on November 30th. There is a bit of excess wear and tear on the 2009 ( dented front bumper and too many scratches) and I suspect I will get hit with $500 to $700 for the damage. The $800 I owe on the old lease is getting rolled into the new lease. If I pay it off myself now I dealer say I will lower payment down to $290.
thanks for your time. -

destro323 Posts: 1Northern California bay area, I traded my corolla CE 2007 with 77,000 miles and got monthly payment of $155 for 36 months/12k miles per year. my credit score was 655. The sticker price of this camry is 27,000. I was in a hurry so i signed the lease last night. Is that a good deal for me? or I was dumb?
jonathaninsc Posts: 1Toyota of Charleston is offering $0 out of pocket $199/mo for a 2011 Camry LE with 12k miles per year for 36 months. Same deal for for the Corolla LE for $159/mo. Do you think there is any room for negotiation? or is this as good as it gets? With the redesigned 2012 camry hitting the showroom i think there may be even better deals in oct/nov for the 2011 models. what do you think?
matte0 Posts: 5I leased a Camry LE labor day weekend for $220 a month 36/12K TMCC. I paid about $750 at signing comprised of tire tax, DMV transfer fees and a doc or other BS fee. I also had about $1K equity in the leased vehicle I traded in. Taxes are included in the payment. I thought this was a pretty good deal but who really knows but the dealer.
budsdad Posts: 6Car Man Please help,
Could I please get the Toyota Finance's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2012 Toyota Camry with 15,000 miles per year.

Level 1: Strengthening Individual Knowledge and Skills
Enhancing an individual's capability of preventing violence and promoting safety
Workshops that educate audiences about the definition of sexual assault, its impact, how to respond to disclosures, and where to find local resources fit into this level. These awareness-raising activities are critical in that they give information on what to do when incidents of violence have occurred. They also make the case that sexual violence is a serious problem. Changes you might make at this level to incorporate primary prevention information and skills-building are likely to be minor and more about content than format. For example, integrating information about what healthy relationships look like, talking about gender socialization, teaching critical media analysis skills, or including role-plays on how to be a proactive bystander would add primary prevention messages to your workshop.
The NSVRC has developed a PowerPoint workshop and associated Facilitator's Guide for campus communities based on bystander intervention theory, the Making a Difference: Your Role in Sexual Violence Prevention On Campus workshop. Click here (http://www.nsvrc.org/saam/campus-workshop [1]) to access these tools.
For workshops or trainings to be most effective, they should be culturally relevant and tailored to the unique audience you are working with. Collaborating with partners who have expertise in the cultural needs of specific populations on campus will help increase cultural relevancy.
One way to improve the efficacy of one-on-one skills-building programs is to hold multiple-session workshops to reinforce knowledge and build skills rather than host one-time training events. Nation and colleagues developed a set of nine principles that contribute to successful prevention education programs that can help when examining potential curricula for use on your campus. The nine principles include: (http://www.mentoring.org/downloads/mentoring_4.pdf [2])
1) Comprehensiveness: Strategies should include multiple components and affect multiple settings to address a wide range of risk and protective factors.
2) Varied teaching methods: Strategies should include multiple teaching methods, including some type of active, skills-based component.
3) Sufficient dosage: Participants need to be exposed to enough of the activity for it to have an effect.
4) Theory-driven: Preventive strategies should have a scientific justification or logical rationale.
5) Positive relationships: Programs should foster strong, stable, positive relationships between children and adults.
6) Appropriately timed: Program activities should happen at a time (developmentally) that can have maximal impact in a participant's life.
7) Socio-culturally Relevant: Programs should be tailored to fit within cultural beliefs and practices of specific groups as well as local community norms.
8) Outcome Evaluation: A systematic outcome evaluation is necessary to determine whether a program or strategy worked.
9) Well-Trained Staff: Programs need to be implemented by staff members who are sensitive, competent, and have received sufficient training, support, and supervision. Follow-up (booster) training and technical assistance to staff are critical.
The Bringing in the Bystander (BITB) program was developed in 2002 by Elizabethe Plante, Victoria Banyard, Mary M. Moynihan, and Robert Eckstein at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). This curriculum translates research on bystander intervention (whether someone witnessing an act of crime or violence will intervene to stop the act or help the victim) and early programs by Jackson Katz and Alan Berkowitz into a sexual violence primary prevention program for college students.
The goals of the program include helping participants identify a range of sexually violent behaviors, understand bystander intervention, identify their own barriers to intervening, become motivated and make a commitment to intervene, and learn a range of skills that could be used to intervene safely in the future. The program uses role-playing and interactive learning to convey the lessons and realistically analyze the challenges in being an engaged bystander. By focusing on the role both men and women play in being engaged bystanders, this program helps to remove the sense of blame men may hear, in more traditional rape prevention programs, for being potential perpetrators, and that women may feel for failing to protect themselves from sexual assault.
Multiple research studies have been conducted on the BITB program with a variety of audiences, including the general student population, fraternities and sororities, athletes, and student leaders at UNH. The program has also been adapted and used on many other college campuses. These studies have shown the program to be effective at increasing positive bystander attitudes, increasing self-confidence in being able to intervene (self-efficacy), and increasing self-reported bystander behavior. According to Bringing in the Bystander lead trainer Robert Eckstein, a few components of the program are particularly powerful for student participants:
• Using a real-life story from UNH's history. Giving an example from the local community helps the issue hit home for students. In addition, often these types of cases highlight situations where bystanders clearly could have made a positive difference and did not.
• Including information on the continuum of sexual violence, especially highlighting the fact that smaller, seemingly benign, sexist behaviors contribute to a greater culture where sexual violence is more likely to occur. By showing participants that rape culture exists in a manner that does not provoke defensiveness, students are reminded that pro-social bystanders are needed everywhere along the continuum of violence.
• Walking students through an empathy-building exercise to understand how difficult things can be for individuals who are survivors of sexual assault. This is especially effective at reminding participants why they're talking about this and why their help is needed.

Comments about Paula Young Victoria Wig by Wendy Williams™ Hair World™:
Have hair loss due to Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery.Had this wig trimmed by my hairdresser and wore it on a recent cruise. It was very flattering, stylish and looked very natural. When I wear it I feel really put together whether with jeans or formal wear. I get lots of compliments and my neighbor told me I looked 29 yrs old (I am 66 yrs old)!! Now, that is what I call a youthful looking wig!! I just purchased another wig from Paula and can't wait to get it!

Not what I expected
By SistaCook
from Chicago, IL
I was disappointed in this wig. It is quite a snug fit and the hair is not long enough to style it as in the picture. At first I thought I'd been sent the wrong wig.

Truly Disappointed!
This wig is advertised to add depth and fullness and it does not. I was quite disappointed, because the style in the picture is beautiful. There is not enough hair on wig to make it look like it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by treehugger Great european bold taste!
My family is european so I was hoping they would like this coffee. My dad is used to grinding the beans and making espresso on his fancy machine. I thought for sure he'd have something negative to say about this coffee. But not at all! He along with everyone else enjoy it very much when they come to visit.
We also enjoy the Gevalia cappuccino, dark italian roast coffee, dark breakfast blend coffee and dark house blend coffee (these are all extra bold blend coffees).

Gevalia uses the supercritical carbon dioxide decaffeination process. Green coffee beans are exposed to carbon dioxide at high pressure and an elevated temperature for a determined period of time to remove most of the coffee's caffeine. The pressure is then reduced and the coffee (decaffeinated green coffee) is ready for further processing -- roasting and grinding. There are no additional chemicals used.3 years ago

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish recently launched the following impassioned celebration of mediocrity:
"These players have done fantastically well and if anyone is going to come in they will have to be a hell of a player to do better than what this group has done. These boys are in pole position and they are sitting there comfortable; not one of them can be disappointed with what they have contributed this season"
There seems to be an increasing effort to convince the fans to accept mediocrity, and Steve Nicol is the latest to try and gloss over this season's league failure. Speaking to ESPN recently, Nicol argued:
"Kenny wants to win the league, so seventh is not acceptable for Kenny, but they have the Carling Cup in the bag, and a good chance at the FA Cup, so I think they're moving forward.
"You just have to look at where Liverpool are now against where they were a year ago. They're much better this year; they didn't win the Carling Cup last year, did they?
Nicol is entitled to his opinion but I have to admit, I despise this way of thinking. If Liverpool finish 7th (or worse) with fewer league points than last season, how does that make the team 'better' than last year? How does that constitute overall progress?
Kenny and his ex-teammates are trying their hardest to change fan-perception (i.e manage expectations downward) but the idea that winning the Carling Cup is a sign of overall progress is (IMO) nonsense. Perpetuating that view also damages Liverpool's credibility, especially when revered club legends like Dalglish and Nicol use it as an excuse in public.
Constantly going on about the importance of the Carling Cup is over-compensating, and it makes Liverpool look desperate. Yes, it's a trophy, but it seems to me that the club is endlessly trying to ascribe a level of importance to it that just doesn't exist.
If Alex Ferguson endlessly lionised the Carling Cup; used it as an excuse for poor league performance, and actually argued that winning it is more important than finishing 4th (as Steven Gerrard has done) I would find it hilarious, and I'm sure lots of rival fans would ridicule United.
Plus, it's not as if winning that trophy has done the club any good, is it?! Since the win, league form has become progressively worse, yet we were constantly told by Dalglish, his players and ex-players beforehand that winning the Carling Cup would push the club into 4th place.
I don't know about anyone else, but Nicol and Dalglish are never going to convince me that winning the Carling Cup is a sign that Liverpool are 'moving forward'.

This has quickly become my all-time favorite thread. These guys are the epitome of sex, in my book. Marriucci and Mangini are at the top of my list, but they are all good. One problem, though: It's almost impossible to find shirtless pics of these guys. Years and years ago, I was watching post-game locker room interviews on TV, and they interviewed a shirtless Dan Reeves. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. (However, I can do without such visions of Andy Reid!).
Warren Gatland ..Welsh Rugby coach
Jeff Fisher - NFL - TEN (Post 2) -- I like him so much so more pics of him!
I remember my junior high school PE teacher/coach. He was just out college and had been jock back in school where now taught. He was greek and look like greek god. He introduced us boys to the pleasures and importance of the jockstrap, which I have never forgotten.
I had a huge crush on my gym coach in High School....to this day he is still one of the sexiest daddies i've ever met!

John Bunting - Head Coach - North Carolina Tarheels
Charlie Huddy - Assistant Coach - Edmonton Oilers (NHL)

i had a little too much fun finding these.
just 'cause i'm shallow doesn't mean that i'm heartless
just 'cause i'm heartless doesn't mean that i'm mean
Haven't ANY of these coaches been photographed without a shirt?
Anyone got pics of Rod Marinelli, coach of the Detroit Lions? Man he's unbelievable.

Not my cup of tea, but to each their own... enjoy!
Rod Marinelli - Head Coach - Detroit Lions
Howard Mudd - Offensive Line Coach - Indianapolis Colts

and an older pic of him (2003?) with just a 'stache... hot!

Loved him since he was coaching at Seton Hall
Mike D'Antoni - NBA - NY Knicks

Prepare for Regionals: X-WING (TM)
Find Hints from the Game's Top Players in Our 'Prepare for Regionals' Series |
X-Wing | Published 18 April 2013 |
"Asteroids do not concern me, Admiral. I want that ship."
–Darth Vader, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
FFG's 2013 Regional Championship tournament season is now underway, and X-Wing™ competitors have already pitted their squads against each other in hard-fought battles for space supremacy!
Still, the tournament season runs through June, and there are many, many X-Wing Regional Championship tournaments ahead of us. So, as you think ahead to the Regional Championships you plan to attend – or as you consider participating in your first X-Wing tournament – we're happy to provide you with one expert player's opinions about what you might expect.
Today, the game's reigning World Champion, Doug Kinney, shares his thoughts on the dynamic and varied X-Wing metagame.
X-Wing World Champion Doug Kinney selects a maneuver during the 2012 finals.
Doug Kinney on the Evolving X-Wing Metagame
I have posted many thoughts on the Fantasy Flight Games forums about where the metagame is headed for X-Wing, and there have been many great discussions about the release of the second wave of starships and how they will affect the game.
Keep in mind, this is all my own personal opinion.
With the initial wave of releases, the top Rebel squad was a four-ship build, usually with one top pilot (often named Wedge Antilles), and three level-two pilots. There were some very competitive three-ship Rebel squads, too, but the four-ship Rebel squads generally were stronger and had better winning percentages. For the Imperials, the top squads were TIE swarms of six or more ships, and these swarms came in many successful varieties.
With the introduction of the second wave of ships, players are now finding out that the Millennium Falcon and Slave I are tanks that are tough to take down and can dish out a great deal of punishment. During the upcoming Regional season, I think you'll see many squads with at least one of these ships in them. The success of these squads has a great deal to do with the person flying them; as many people have noted, there is a new learning curve with flying the large-base ships. When you have a board cluttered with asteroids, the rest of your squad, and your opponent's squad (which is also likely to have a large-base ship), you won't always be able to perform your optimal maneuver for your ship. Those who can learn how to fly their large-base ships and fly against them are the ones who are likely to be successful at this year's Regional tournaments.
The introduction of these large-base ships also means that both factions are now getting away from lots of lower pilot skills and moving towards fewer ship builds with higher pilot skills. From what I've seen, this is where the game is moving. This doesn't mean that the old squads are necessarily bad now, but these more streamlined squads are going to fare better in tournaments. Wedge is still a power player for the Rebels, but now he has many more options for wingmates. The introduction of the A-wing and the YT-1300 have really opened up the floodgates for new combinations of pilots and upgrades within a 100-point Rebel squad. Likewise, the TIE interceptor and the Firespray-31 have brought some big hitters to Imperial squads. I daresay that I doubt anyone going to a Regional tournament will face the same squad twice; there is so much more parity now in the game.
The newest X-Wing starships will make their mark upon the tournament scene.
Actions and Upgrades
With these new ships, we also have the boost action (), which changes the game. Now, a ship that was in your line of fire can get out of it by taking the boost action, so you need to have multiple firing arcs covered if you want to get an attack against a ship that has boosted out of one of your other ship's firing arcs. More importantly, covering multiple firing arcs can deter your opponent from boosting and make him take another, more defensive action, instead, like focus or evade. For Imperial players, covering multiple firing arcs is going to be difficult, because doing so takes away squad cohesion in favor of spreading out to cover areas. For Rebel players, the YT-1300 solves this problem quite easily by itself due to its primary weapon being able to target an enemy outside of its firing arc. The boost action comes standard on the A-wing and TIE interceptor, but it can be equipped onto any ship with the Engine Upgrade card.
We also now have Stealth Device. Stealth Device increases the agility value of the ship upon which it is equipped. For example, it transforms ships with a base three agility into an extremely skittish four-agility defender. I believe this changes the game as well, because firing with two attack dice just isn't going to cut it against four or more defense dice. For example, if you defend at Range 3 while your opponent is firing through an obstacle, you're rolling 6 defense dice! You will need a ship with at least three attack dice to strip away Stealth Device so that your other ships with two attack dice can have a better chance of hitting once the Stealth Device is gone. Stealth Device doesn't make ships invincible, but it does increase the chances of survival for a few more rounds, and since it's only three points, I think you're going to see a lot of it at Regional tournaments.
Squad Diversity
As I mentioned earlier, with the introduction of the new wave of ships, there is so much more parity now in this game. With the initial starfighters, there were only a few top squads that you had to prepare against because you expected to face them at tournaments. Now, though, there is so much more variety now among both factions that people are just going to play what they want to play and feel is fun rather than play only what they think is the "top" squad. You will see people playing their own versions of any emerging "top" squads, and there are likely to be as many versions as there are players of this game. I will be just as interested as everyone else to see what the winning squads will be for the Regional tournaments because I believe we're going to see a lot of variety among the winners of different areas.
What do I think the top squads will be? For the Rebels, the "Han Shoots First" list, which pairs Han with two Rookie Pilots, will be tough to beat, especially in the hands of someone capable of flying the Falcon. I've also seen Wedge and Tycho make quite a duo, and paired with a third ship, they can be a fearsome force. A-wings with missiles will do well against squads of TIE interceptors, but they will be less successful against other Rebel squads. You've got the YT-1300 and Y-wings, and even some of the early combos (like Wedge, Biggs, and Dutch) will still be competitive with some new upgrades.
For Imperials, I think you'll see a lot of lists featuring Slave I with four TIEs, and some even with two Firesprays. All of the Imperial players are loving getting to know their interceptors, so there will be a lot of successful squads that will run some combination of interceptors, TIE fighters, and TIE Advanced. Some of the higher skill TIE fighter pilots like "Mauler Mithel," "Backstabber," and "Dark Curse" will see a lot of action.
No matter what squad you bring or what squads you face, this Regional Tournament season is shaping up to be a lot of fun for everyone! Have fun, and make friends this season.
Thanks, Doug!

New "Normal Barbie" Comes With Acne, Scars & Stretch Marks
An artist named Nickolay Lamm has created a "Normal Barbie" that has the body of an average American woman and comes with add-ons like acne, scars and stretch marks. The dolls, which were designed last year and are now available for purchase, are intended to show kids that everyone has flaws and that they shoud be embraced. The stickers allow children to customize their dolls by adding freckles, stitches and grass stains, among other features. Lamm also made a video that shows how second graders respond to a realistically-proportioned fashion doll. The response is overwhelmingly positive, and includes comments like "I think she's really pretty," and "She looks like my sister." Who do you think about "Normal" Barbie?

Comments about Blue Competition Cycles Blue Norcross SL Frameset:
Buyer no need to beware. This frame set is near perfect. Other reviewers have issues with the BB30 (easy solution, grab a Praxis adaptor), or the seat post clamp coming with the brake hanger. Neither are an issue for me. Wheels come off fine during races, all you do is unhook the straddle cable for the brakes. Really easy to do. Frame is stiff, light and handles like a dream. Also Nashbars shipping was nice and quick. Only issue I have is a subpar paint job. My drive side fork is losing paint for no reason at all.

I love this frame but it has some issues
By E
from Bay Area, CA
I've had this frame for about 1 year and am mostly satisfied. The frame is stiffer than any I've ever owned. It corners great and it climbs like a champion. I use it on the road and dirt and it is my favorite ride.That being said, I hesitant to recommend this frame because of 2 issues.First, the clearance for the brake pads is too tight. Brake pads hit on stays and fork and make it very difficult to replace a wheel when the tire is inflated. This is not practical for doing CX races.Second, and more serious, the bottom bracket shell is BB30. BB30 bottom brackets creak and this frame creaks more than any I've ever owned. I have had a constant battle with this frame to keep the bottom bracket from creaking. If you can avoid it get something else besides BB30. It is not worth the hassle.

Real Deal
By Bikedad64
from Charlotte, NC
Yes, this is the J. Page signature model he won the U.S. National Cyclocross Championship on! Mine is the black/yellow/white with his signature on the chain stay. the only thing different from the picture is the rear brake cable stop is part of the included Tecktro seat clamp and not a molded in seat stay bridge. That design put Page on the podium so I guess it's good enough for me! Just finishing the buildup but the frameset is super light and first quality. Do your research and you won't believe they are offering this at this price! By the way, Blue has new financial backers and they are back in business!

Buyer beware - Not as pictured

About Me Avid Cyclist
The frameset I just received from Nashbar is not the same as the one in the photo. Yes it is a Blue Norcross SL but it does not have the integrated rear brake cable mount. Included in the box was a Tektro seat clamp cable hanger. I read on the Blue Competition Cycles Facebook page that they have gone out of business. So no warranty if you have problems with the framesetThis was probably an old frame, a display model or a prototype in Blue's inventory, which Nashbar bought when Blue went under.While this is not a deal breaker and I'm sure the frameset will work fine, it's frustrating to spend over a thousand dollars and not get what I paid for. I searched the interwebs and have not been able to even find an image or photo of the frame I received.

Oklahoma Military Deaths
This compilation of records was originally a project of the OHS editorial department during World War II. Under the guidance of Miss Muriel H. Wright, volunteers clipped from newspapers from all over the state when mention was made regarding a service man or woman had been killed or was missing in action.
The snippets of data where in some cases either typed on to a 4" x 6" index card or taped to a card and placed in a the official "War Memorial" collection. A modest attempt was made to do the same for the Korean War.
In the 1980s, Archives director Mary Lee Boyle enlisted the assistance of the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs, Mike Mullins of the Vietnam Veterans Association and students from Francis Tuttle VoTech to update and make available as complete a list as possible from various records held by the Society plus what files were available from Veterans Affairs.
The following lists were prepared through Francis Tuttle Vocational Technical School in Oklahoma City. Every effort was made to find information regarding those service personnel who paid the ultimate sacrifice. No doubt there will be names missing from these lists, for that we humbly apologize.

/ Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative
The Migratory Bird Habitat Initiative (MBHI) took flight during the Deepwater Horizon/BP oil spill. This partnership effort is one of the most popular initiatives in NRCS history.
Conservation-minded landowners who love wildlife offered more than 1 million acres for MBHI. More than 470,000 acres are now enrolled -- that's 3 times greater than anticipated! In fact, funding for the initiative had to be increased to $40 million to meet the demand. Participating states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas.
MBHI is focused on the future, with projects that will benefit wildlife, landowners, and the environment for years to come. Projects provide food and critical habitat for bird populations; much-needed water during drought; support for local economies by attracting hunters and bird watchers; and new opportunities to improve wildlife management.
NRCS helps partners deliver MBHI through its Wetlands Reserve Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program, and Wildlife Habitat Incentive Program.

Abraham faced that decision when God told him to pack up and leave his home and go to places unknown. God didn't give Abraham a map or specify where he would be going, but Abraham, by faith, "when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went" (Hebrews 11:8).
There is one song which says, "You are the finger of God, don't you see? You know somebody who is in need ... and He said, 'I'll go with you wherever you go.'" The "I'll go with you" is only on condition that you are obeying the Lord and following His directive.
God hasn't promised a person he could go wherever he pleases and expect Him to just go along. There are places Jesus won't go and if you choose to go anyway, you don't have His promise of "Lo, I am with you alway."
Matthew 28:20 (KJV) tells us what comes first — "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:" and "lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen" follows. The power of Jesus Christ always accompanies the truth — "even unto the end of the world."
So in light of all His promises, it should be a "given" to be able to say to the Lord, "Where you lead me, I'll follow ... "just lead me on." However, the love of God is what should constrain us — not the rewards. And that takes faith.
I love the song, "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go," but I'm not sure I always realized the full impact of the words as I have sung it through all these years ... or the promise. "I'll go where you want me to go, dear Lord, O'er mountain, or plain, or sea; I'll say what you want me to say, dear Lord, I'll be what you want me to be."
It was said when Garibaldi set out to liberate Italy, he saw several young men standing at a street corner and asked them if they would like to enlist in his cause. They answered with another question, "What do you offer?"
Garibaldi replied. "I offer you hardship, hunger, rags, thirst, sleepless nights, footsores in long marches, privations innumerable, and finally victory in the noblest cause that ever confronted you."
Today, there are many who want to know, "How much does the job pay?" "What do you offer?" "Do I have to go to unpleasant places?" "Is there a sacrifice required?" "Can I choose the time and place?" "Do I have to go to the poor man? ... to the rich man? ... across the street ... to the prison? ... to my neighbor ...? ... another country?"
The Lord says, "If any one would come after Me, let him take up his cross and follow Me (Mark 8:34 KJV).
When Jesus began His ministry, he called out his disciples with the words, "Follow me." Some were fishing, one was collecting taxes, some were busy at other tasks — no promises were given until later when Peter inquired about their fate — "Lo, we have left all, and followed thee" (Luke 18:28).
And Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting."

9lack coffeetable with painted squares
sayani painted over her lack coffee table. definitely less boring but i would suggest losing the flowers though.
9 Responses to lack coffeetable with painted squares
whatever! i think the table is great and the flowers add a colorful touch
What kind of paint was this?
What's wrong with the flowers??
The flowers lessen the impact of the colorful squares, they're messy-looking, and they're just…well, a little sad. You could get rid of the two larger arrangements and just have the center one (is that an orchid? can't tell from the pic), and that might be nicer.
the paint i used was acrylic (you know the little plastic pots that come attached? i think they're like $2 at the craft store) and then i used a sealant over it so it wouldn't scratch off.
thanks, guys..! =)
and oh – the flowers aren't usually there, i had just taken a picture of them before and since the table happened to be in it, that's the pic i sent to jules..:)
happy hacking :p sayani
First of all, I'm not english, so excuse me if you don't understand something
How did you get rid of the sealant that the table had before you painted with the acrylic? I mean, the table has by default a sealant layer, no? So, what did you do? Just paint on top of it or scratch the sealant off?
hey alba,
i understood you perfectly, no worries!
i left the table as is and painted right over it, and it was fine, surprisingly enough!
hope that helps,
looking very nice !!
I know this is a old post, but hopefully you get an email or something… I used acrylic paint on mine, and need to find a good sealant. What was the brand of sealant that you used?? Thanks!

"Tour d'Art," the semi-annual all-member-featured exhibit for November at In-Town Gallery brings a French flair to the Holiday Open House. Inspired by classic and contemporary masters in the art center of the world, the 34 co-op gallery artists have produced their own masterpieces for this holiday opener.
These all-new works will be displayed on the "Left Bank" and "Right Bank" throughout the gallery. French cuisine will give flavor to the 'tres bon' refreshments which will include breads from the boulangerie and desserts from the patisserie, with imported wines. The opening reception is from 5 to 8 p.m. on "First Friday," Nov. 1. The exhibit continues through November 30.
As you approach In-Town Gallery by the Walnut Street walking bridge over the Tennessee River, imagine striding along the pedestrian Pont des Arts over the River Seine in Paris.
A fleur-de-lis stained-glass panel by Carolyn Insler is an appropriate symbol of welcome. She is motivated by the magnificent windows of Sainte-Chapelle. Another glass artist, Mary Beth McClure, layers patterned sheets of glass fused in a kiln to form platters and bowls with Lalique-like quality. Large oil paintings on canvas by Chuck Frye, which he calls "new American realism," portray local scenes in the city and countryside that could be views of Paris streets and southern France.
The five jewelers will show their custom creations in a "Chic Boutique" which can be seen along the Champs-Elysees. Eleanor Goodson, Mary Clor, Marian Kern, Barbara Murnan and Laura Brock each have distinct designs formed with precious metals, pearls, beads, stones and jewels.
Natural clay is transformed into high-styled dinnerware, vessels, lamps and figures by three talented potters: Roger Harvey, Ted Reeder and Sheila Fulghum. All these pieces are worthy of the Louvre.
Edgar Degas has a rival in the graceful dancer figures of Ellen Franklin. Multimedia artist Bradley Wilson produces character drawings reminiscent of Toulouse-Lautrec. Plein air painters Marie Miller, Janis Wilkey and Victoria Pearmain capture the fresh colors and luminosity of the Impressionists Monet, Cezanne and Renoir.
Portrait artist Maddin Corey could have studied with Berthe Morisot, as her 'look' and skin tones are similar. Peggy Huffstutler brings a dimensional likeness to her collage of a French doorway.
The Bayeux tapestries represent historic events of that era in France, but Linda White's pieced and stitched art quilts utilize shapes and colors that are equally fascinating. Jennie Kirkpatrick has traveled extensively in France and her market scenes have the flavor of Provence. Gay Arthur's paintings of industrial structures reflect the exterior design of the "moderne" Pompidou Center in Paris, where avant-garde artworks like those created by Leslie Dulin, Coyee Langston, Lori Ryan and Helen Brooks are hung.
Julie Clark's steel sculptures relate to the Art Nouveau ironwork of the traditional entrances to the Paris Metropolitan subway. John McLean's transparent watercolors exhibit the essence of Alfred Sisley's tranquil seascapes. The intricate pen-and-ink drawings of Doug McCoy and etchings by Linda Thomas show influences from DaVinci. The elegant simplicity of Doug Barker's tables and cabinets and the turned wood pieces by Jim Roche is superb. All these artists' works compare favorably with the art and fine crafts shown at the Musee d'Orsay.
The award-winning photography of Spears McAllester specializes in winter scenes and mountain vistas in the Western states and far-flung regions of Nepal that rival the snowy peaks of the French Alps. Virginia Webb's photos document the local bridges and misty cemetery vistas that remind one of the more elaborate spans across the Seine and even the famous Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise that is a 'city' in itself.
Last on the list but first in the gallery, Jane Yelliott completes 29 years as a member of In-Town. A versatile artist, she creates colorful designs on clay tiles, pastel portraits, watercolor paintings, and oils on canvas — typical examples of the wonderful variety found in the artists' village of Montmartre in Paris.
In-Town Gallery, founded in 1974, will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year and is one of the oldest cooperative galleries in the nation. It presents the original work of more than 30 regional studio artists. It is located at 26A Frazier Avenue, between the Market Street and Walnut Street bridges, adjacent to Coolidge Park on the North Shore of the Tennessee River.
The gallery is open every day year-round, except major holidays. For more information, Call 267-9214, or visit www.intowngallery.com or www.facebook.com /intowngallery.
