Whether capturing images in the studio or on location, the Vello FreeWave Wireless Remote Shutter Release adds flexibility and versatility to your shooting style. Photography unplugged - shooters can interact with a model, view the scene or set from alternate angles, or set a camera by a stream to capture an image of a bear hunting while you remain at a safe distance away - all this and more without missing a beat, a shot, or a moment. This particular FreeWave unit is compatible with cameras with a 3-pin connection, i.e. Canon 1D series, 5D, 6D and 7D series DSLRs.
This versatile shutter release features Smart Code technology which allows it to be configured to operate on up to 16 million possible radio channels. You can easily switch channels to "zero in" on a frequency that provides optimal range and functionality.
The FreeWave operates with radio frequency (RF) technology, therefore a direct line of sight is not necessary; radio waves pass through objects such as windows and walls. It is unlike other wireless remotes on the market that operate on an Infrared (IR) system and require a direct line of sight between transmitter and receiver to make things work.
Since touching the camera even lightly while capturing an image can create a blurred image, the FreeWave eliminates this by tripping the shutter without any disturbances. This is critical when photographing subjects close up, and for long-exposures and macros. It is also extremely valuable when photographing nature, wildlife and other subjects that are difficult for you to get close to.
Cables available are:
RCC-C1: Canon EOS: 60D, Elan series, Digital Rebel (300D), XT (350D), XTi (400D), XSi (450D), T1i (500D), T2i (550D) and XS (1000D); Contax: N & 645; Pentax: K110D, K100D, K200D K10D, K20D; *istDS, DS2, DS, DL2, DL, and D; Samsung: GX-S1, GX-1L, GX-10, and GX-20

News Release 243
Child identification program planned by Missouri State Park Rangers April 28 at Linn Creek
Volume 38-243 (For Immediate Release)
Contact: Sue Holst
573-751- 6510
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., APRIL 21, 2010 -- The Missouri State Park Ranger Program is helping to keep your children safe through a child identification program offered to schools around the state. The next program will be at 9 a.m. April 28 at the Creative Learning Day School in Linn Creek.
"Children are our greatest resource and we want to do whatever we can to keep them safe. These child identification programs are one way to do that," said Bill Bryan, director of the state park system for the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The State Park Ranger Program promotes safety and provides law enforcement for Missouri state parks and historic sites.
Each program will include a child identification kit for each student. The kit includes an area for basic information about the child, including a description. Each child will be fingerprinted and that fingerprint will be included in the kit. The kit also includes a place for a photo of the child, which can be updated by the parent as the child ages. The kits are given to the children to take home. If the child becomes lost or is taken, parents or guardians can provide this valuable information to law enforcement to aid in the search.
The program is part of the overall outreach effort provided by the Ranger Program to promote safety awareness in schools, in state parks and historic sites, and other venues such as the Missouri State Fair. The kits are provided by the Ranger Program free of charge and approximately 2,500 children identification kits are distributed each year during outreach programs.
For more information about the State Park Ranger Program or state parks and historic sites, call the Department of Natural Resources' toll free at 800-334-6946 (voice) or 800-379-2419 (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) or visit mostateparks.com.

Justin, Justin, Justin. While we've gotten somewhat used to the pop star constantly ditching his shirt to expose his ridiculously chiseled abs, for some reason he still hasn't learned to pull his pants up around his waist!
While we don't mind seeing Justin Bieber's body (at all), there are several occasions — 20 to be exact — that the 19-year-old really should have pulled those pants up! It's just not necessary, Biebs! Click through our gallery of the top 20 moments Justin should have grabbed a belt!
Justin Bieber: Pull Up Your Pants
Alright, we know what you're thinking. Justin has an awesome body so why not show it off? Sure, we agree, but no one needs to see his entire backside exposed — even if it's covered by cotton boxer briefs.
On Nov. 30, Justin shared a pic of himself getting yet another tattoo on his arm. While it makes sense that he was shirtless, it doesn't really make sense that his pants are down so far! Plus, that can't be comfortable!
Another thing we just can't get over is when Justin's on stage and his pants are almost at his knees. He does pretty intense choreography, and doesn't those constrictions make moving around so much harder?
However, the most shocking moment that Justin really needed to pull his pants up was on January 19, when he decided to reveal his BARE butt to fans at an event — and then post a picture of it on Twitter. Justin, NO one wants to see that!
Alright, HollywoodLifers — we know you have comments. What do you think of Justin's pants constantly falling down?

Something really strange about that boy. Maybe his wiener is tiny so he needs to hide that fact? Normal people don't walk around like douche bags with their shirts off or pants down around their weenies. He's very in love with himself, but doesn't see how the rest of the world sees him, as a weirdo…except if you are a belieber, then we expect you to be a weirdo.

Twitter, Comcast Join Forces in Social TV Push
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Comcast (CMCSA - Get Report) is joining forces with Twitter in a push to use social networking as a means to build its television, sports and cable viewership. While the partnership seeks to leverage Comcast's recently acquired NBCUniversal programming, it appears to be a pivotal deal for Twitter as the micro-blogging site moves toward a listing of its stock on public markets.
Comcast engineers have created a new "See It" feature for their Xfinity video customers, giving them the ability to instantly access TV shows, movies and sports directly from a Tweet. Customers will be able to use their Twitter feeds to locate TV shows and tune in with a simple click. The "See It" feature will give Twitter access on their mobile devices, DVR's.
The key appears to be Comcast's belief that enough buzz about NBCUniversal programming occurs on Twitter for its users to see a benefit from access to content from the social media site. "See It" will launch in November and will include programming from NBC, cable channels such as CNBC and Bravo and NBC Sports Network, which now carries Sunday Night Football, the NHL, the English Premier League and will have the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
"Comcast is taking a leap forward in social TV by enabling Twitter users to more easily find and view the shows they want to watch and discover new shows. Twitter complements the live viewing experience and is an ideal partner for Comcast and NBCUniversal," Brian Roberts, CEO of Comcast, said in a statement.
While the service targets Comcast's Xfinity users, it may be a bigger story for Twitter, which is seeking to prove that its over 200 million member platform can be attractive to advertisers and prospective shareholders. Partnerships like the one struck with Comcast indicate that large media powerhouses do see Twitter an effective way of building their overall audience -- something that is likely to translate to ad revenue. Comcast isn't alone. Last year, Nielsen (NLSN - Get Report) said it it would incorporate Twitter traffic into its calculation of TV ratings. The program, called the Nielsen Twitter TV Rating, launched earlier in October. It is no surprise that Nielsen expects Twitter to reflect interest in television programming nor that Comcast sees the platform as a means to drive its audience engagement. Media companies already rely on social networks like Twitter, Facebook and Google's YouTube to increase exposure of their content. As Twitter seeks partnerships, it is still unclear what user engagement will be. Twitter streams remain an unproven, but fast-growing advertising platform for corporations to consider. "Twitter is where television viewers come to talk about what they're watching on TV when they're watching it. Millions of users are exposed to the live conversation that unfolds on Twitter while a show is on the air and now, with See It, they'll be able to tune in directly from a Tweet," Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter, said in a statement. In addition to the "See It" partnership, NBCUniversal and Twitter also will be on a new advertising partnership centered on Twitter's new Amplify promotional tweets. NBCUniversal will seek to use Amplify to highlight its content on users' Twitter streams and has committed its entire portfolio of programming brands to the partnership. The agreement also provides NBCUniversal's advertising clients access to Twitter's promoted platform. "NBCUniversal's content is driving the most popular conversations in social media," Steve Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal, said in a statement "Now with this partnership, our advertisers will be able to reach even more of the specific audiences that they desire." The partnership will launch with NBC Sports and short Premier League video highlights, in an effort to expand the reach of the sport in the U.S. The videos will be sponsored by General Electric. Comcast shares were slighly lower at $44.28 in Wednesday afternoon trading. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York. Follow @antoinegaraCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

Valliser Quince Paste (Membrillo / Cotognata) - 350 grams
Country of Origin: Spain
City / Village: Barcelona
Made according to an age-old recipe in Spain, this quince paste is what is known as "membrillo" in Spanish or "cotognata" in Italian. Quince is naturally a fairly unpalatable fruit. However, when cooked slowly with the right amount of sugar and lemon juice, it becomes a delicious, sticky paste. We import Valliser's quince paste directly from Spain - it has beautiful, floral notes of both pear and apple.
In Spain this condiment is paired with a number of cheeses, but most famously with Manchego. In Italy, it is paired with fresh robiola or sharper pecorinos. We happen to love it paired with stronger goats or blue cheeses as a perfect foil to their bright and sharp flavors. Possibly one of the most versatile cheese condiments we know.
Quince paste is similar to La Senapata, but without the intensity of the mustard spice.

blue teen angels lolitas
-0800 (PST) From: Kara Brown Subject: College Crossdressing Slut 3: yummy The next day I woke up and my butt was pretty sore. It was a good feeling though, it let me know I had been fucked the day before. Everything else that day was pretty much the same. I got up, went to school, got home and studied a little. Then I got a call from Joey. "Hey cutie! How's that cute butt of yours feeling?" He asked right away. "It's kinda sore." I laughed. "I think your cock was too big for a first timer." "It will feel better the next time." He assured me. "As long as there is a next time, I'm happy" I said in my best feminine voice. "There definitely will, but I'm a little confused what to call you. I can't call you Jason when you're dressed." "Call me Kara." I informed him. "That's what I call myself when dressed." "Awesome. That's a great name Kara. So do you want to get together this weekend?" "Actually, I was hoping for tonight. I was thinking about your cock all day at class." "I really turned you child nudes girls lolitas into a slut, didn't I?" He laughed. "I can't tonight though; I'm going to visit some friends on the east side of town. Besides, I thought your ass was too sore?" "It is but I just want to suck your cock at least." I was soo horny for him right now. "I have to get going, but I'll come over tomorrow." I pleaded "No. Come over tonight. It will just take five minutes and it's on your way." I was whining but I really wanted him. I could tell he was on the edge so I said "I'll even swallow this time. You can be the first guyto have his cum in my tummy." That put him over the edge. "OK, I'll
child nudes girls lolitas
be right over." "Give me 20 minutes" I replied and hung up the phone. I raced to the bathroom and started getting dressed. I put on the same outfit as the night before, he shouldn't mind I thought. Besides, I didn't have that many outfits to wear yet and no use having to wash another outfit when he was just going to be over for a few minutes. I put on my makeup and wig and waited in the living room. I was thinking, maybe promising to swallow for him tonight wasn't the smartest thing, but I really wanted to have some fun. Nick had swallowed before and he was ok. Besides, I knew how badly I wanted to swallow his cum, so it was probably just a matter of time before I did anyway. He arrived soon after. I opened the door and he said "What, no new outfit tonight?" "Shut up." I said as I closed the door and dropped to my knees. I immediately started to unbutton his pants and he helped drop his jeans and boxers to the floor. His delicious cock was semi erect and I immediately started sucking on his balls as I played with his cock. He moaned and I looked up to see him staring straight down at me. I got so turned on by watching him watch me I immediately had to play with myself. "Take that skirt off and let me see your ass." He commanded. I stopped sucking, stood up, and turned around to show him my ass as I let my skirt hit the floor and stepped out of it. "Now get back to my cock." He growled. I dropped to my knees again and got his cock back in my mouth. I just loved the taste in my mouth. I took it slower than I did the night before, trying to savor it a little bit. I did a lot more licking and eye contact. I played with myself too, playing with my clittie till I was hard and ready to cum. My sore little butthole wanted him but I knew that wasn't going to happen tonight. I gyrated my ass as I sucked him and within no time I was ready to cum. lo lolita nude pictures I started to shoot cum out of my clittie. "Hey slut, I'm supposed to be the one getting off." He said as I looked up at him with a smile. "Get off then." I said in a bitchy voice and I wrapped my lips around his cock again. I started rapidly moving my mouth up and down his cock, grabbing on to his hips to get a good grip. He held onto my head as I slurped and sucked on his cock. He was moaning and I could tell he was close. "Get ready for it baby!" and seconds later he was filling my mouth with cum. It wasn't quite as much cum as the night before but I still struggled to swallow it all in. It was such a delicious taste and I loved the feeling of being a woman taking care of her man's needs. I loved the feeling as the warm cum entered my mouth and went down to my tummy. I sucked up every drop and then looked up at him. "Great job Kara." He said. "You're quite a little cocksucker. I have to get going though." "I know. Have fun and you'll have to come over again when I'm not so sore." I told him. "Definitely." He said as he kissed me on the cheek (my lips still had a little cum on them) and left to hang out with his friends.

Ive decided to sell my race buggy because I moved and there are no tracks here:cry:. The buggy is in GREAT condition and handles awesome! Powered by the Orion Votex 8 brushless system, RC Monster motor mount, Savox high speed/torque servo, Gens Ace 5000 14.8V Lipo, heat sink with fan, AE RC8 16mm Big Bore threaded shocks, FlySky 2.4GHz reciever, custom painted body in like new shape and a TON of spare parts! Because I am leaving the R/C hobby I will throw in a bunch of extras like big-bore shocks, tools, connectors, etc.
Will part out as follows: $250 for the roller w/ body, Orion Vortx 8 Brushless motor and ESC along with the 4S Gens Ace lipo for $220 (after the roller sells), and the entire lot of spare parts for $100 (after the roller sells).
Asking $500 for everything which is a steal when you consider all the spare parts. Will trade for a nice double-din Navigation head unit. Looking for something with iPod hook ups, Bluetooth, etc.

The impact of PCI Express on GPUs
Guillaume Louel
Published on September 26, 2011
With the different AMD and Intel platforms offering varying numbers of PCI Express lanes, the impact of this bus on graphics performance is often the subject of discussion. Are the PCI Express 2.0 x8 and x16 equivalent in terms of performance on our 3D cards? Whats the impact of a x4 interconnect width, and what are the differences between lanes that are directly linked to processors and those which transit via the southbridge? So many questions that were going to try and answer in this article!
PCI Express in brief
The PCI Express is a bus for all seasons. With a relatively simple physical implementation, this point-to-point serial interface is organised in the form of lanes. Each lane is made up of two pairs of links, each of which transmits data in one direction. Physically speaking, PCI Express is a bi-directional serial bus. Bandwidth can be increased by bonding (or training) several lanes so that they can be used together (up to 32). In our PCs, standard implementation is however 16 lanes, known as x16.
One of the particularities of PCI Express is that the number of lanes used is automatically negotiated between the host and the downstream device. A x16 peripheral, such as a graphics card, can still function at x1. The size of a slot on a motherboard isnt what determines the running speed of the device connected to it. A x1 device in an x16 slot will will run at x1. A x16 device in an x16 slot (physically speaking) but wired electrically at x4 will however run at x4. Motherboard manuals indicate how slots are wired and this increasingly depends on the processor and the chipset used.
With simple and flexible physical implementation, PCI Express has become the spinal column for motherboards. The Intel DMI bus used to connect the processor to the motherboard southbridge is in reality a x4 PCI Express interconnect (2.0 on the SandyBridges and chipsets that accompany it). On laptops, the ExpressCard exports a PCI Express lane, and the recently announced Intel
is also an extension cable directly based on PCI Express. A bus for all seasons.
In practice
We chose to look at performance in the different modes on a motherboard based on the Intel Z68 chipset. The card used for this test was an MSI Z68A-GD80 B3 (not to be confused with the G3 version presented at Computex). We'll come back to this in detail later but it has been designed for Intel Sandy Bridge processors, which have a 16 lane on-die PCI Express controller. Three x16 PCI Express ports (in blue on the photo below) are nevertheless included on the motherboard.
The first slot at the top is wired at x16. The second slot is only wired at x8. In practice if a card is inserted into this slot, the first slot then also drops to x8. Four Pericom chips serve in effect as a switch to divide the 16 lanes into two groups of 8. The last slot at the bottom is linked to the chipset with four lanes. It therefore shares the x4 link which connects the chipset to the processor with the rest of the peripherals (network, drives and so on) connected to the southbridge, introducing another potential bottleneck in terms of bandwidth. To carry out our test we used two high-end GPUs from AMD and NVIDIA with relatively equivalent performance, the Radeon HD 6970 and the GeForce GTX 570.

2014 Alzheimer's Disease Facts And Figures Report
The Alzheimer's Association 2014 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report - a compilation of national and state information on Alzheimer's disease - is the most cited source covering the broad spectrum of Alzheimer's issues and conveys the impact of the disease on individuals, families and the nation's health care system.
In addition to prevalence, mortality, caregiving and cost information, this year's Report offers a special section on women & Alzheimer's. We've known that women are the epicentre of Alzheimer's disease – representing the majority of both people with the disease and caregivers. We now know that, as real a concern as breast cancer is to women's health, women in their 60s are about twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's over the rest of their lives as they are to develop breast cancer. Women also make up 60-70% of all informal caregivers and are 2.5 times more likely to be providing "on duty" care 24 hours for someone living with Alzheimer's disease.
Below are resources available as part of the 2014 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures report:

Creamy Mushroom Gnocchi. Most days the thought of bearing my own offspring scares me to death.
I can barely tie my own shoes. I lay on the couch most Saturday mornings until 11 am. Or later. Sometimes I yawn in church. And chew gum. Spinach, Mushroom, & Ricotta Stuffed Shells. 20 Minute Roasted Tomato Pasta. Okay, so maybe I led you on.
This pasta doesn't have that many veggies. It still has too many for me though. Ginger Lime Shrimp and Noodles. I'm taking it down a notch today.
After all, we needed to eat some form of food other than bacon and cupcakes. Although I deem both to be highly acceptable complete meals. Some of you may remember that this time last year, Mr. Crispy Shrimp Pasta with Arugula Pesto. There is one green that I occasionally allow in my life.
I actually really enjoy arugula. Well, as much as someone who doesn't love veggies can like a green. One of the first recipes I ever shared here was arugula and asiago pesto. Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce. I have a bit of a problem.
It's an addiction to light orange-red pasta sauces. There's this one: Springy Shells. I know it's bathing suit season and we all need to be more conscious of every bite that enters our yappers so we can all look great in our bikinis.
But here's the awesome part: I haven't worn a bikini since 1993! It was in Bermuda. I was on a vacation with my kid sister Betsy and I wore that bikini like there was no tomorrow. I think deep down I must have sensed that the time was drawing near that "bikini" would one day be as foreign to me as "clean car" or "empty hamper." Three Cheese-Stuffed Shells with Meaty Tomato Sauce. This is yummy.
This is simple. This was dinner last night. The kids loved it. A Tasty Recipe: Bacon and Parmesan Pasta – Tasty Kitchen Blog. Bacon.
Parmesan cheese. Cream cheese. Heavy cream. Oh yes. Petite Lasagnas « Can You Stay for Dinner? Recipe slightly adapted from Hungry Girl (makes 12) 12 oz raw ground turkey ¼ tsp salt, divided. Curried Chicken Pasta Salad. I had some visitors on the ranch last week.
I made the beds, dusted the furniture, and did what any self-respecting hostess would do: I bought 'em a bunch of ready-made salads at Whole Foods, stuck 'em in the fridge at the Lodge, and left my guests a note that read "Have at it!"

Two honored at annual President's Dinner
Date: 10/8/2010Aileen Tschiderer, wife of Richard A. Tschiderer accepts her late husband's Trustee Emeritus status award.
Two honored at annual President's Dinner
Community volunteer Mary Pendleton and RACC receive top honors
Alvernia University hosted its annual President's Dinner on Thursday, October 7, honoring organizations and individuals who have made a significant impact on the university and its surrounding community. This year's recipients were Mary Pendleton (Franciscan Award) and Reading Area Community College (Pro Urbe Award). Richard A. Tschiderer was also honored, posthumously, with Trustee Emeritus status. The event was attended by about 250 local business and community leaders, university trustees, faculty, and administrators.
Presented to Mary Pendelton, the Franciscan Award honors individuals who selflessly give their time, talents, and resources to serve Alvernia, the community, and their profession. A long time volunteer for Alvernia and in the community, Pendelton has been a great supporter of the Bernardine Sisters. She was a founding member of the Alvernia Arts Council in early 1980s and saw the importance of getting Alvernia better known in community and bringing community to campus.
This year's Pro Urbe (which translates to "for the city,") Award was given to Reading Area Community College — recognized for its commitment to the community.
"There are few organizations that have done more for this community than our partners at RACC, said Alvernia President Tom F. Flynn, Ph.D. "Like Alvernia, RACC is place of opportunity for first-generation students and working adults. It is a vital source of workforce development for the community. Alvernia has enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with RACC, and transfers from RACC have done very well at Alvernia."
During the event, Alvernia also bestowed Trustee Emeritus status to the late Richard A. Tschiderer, for his distinguished leadership and service as a board officer and trustee at large. Tschiderer retired as a partner from Ernst & Young LLP in 1990, after 36 years with the company. Prior to his career at Ernst & Young, he served in the United States Army during the Korean conflict. He was active in the Berks County community, serving two terms on the Alvernia University Board of Trustees, retiring from the board in 2009. He was also the previous treasurer for both the Borough of Wyomissing and the Berkshire Country Club and had served as president of the Reading Musical Foundation. Tschiderer is survived by his wife of 55 years, Aileen C. Tschiderer, as well as four children and 10 grandchildren.
- History: Established as a private four-year liberal arts college in 1958, Alvernia celebrated its 50th year by being awarded university status in 2008.
- Heritage: Founded by the Bernardine Sisters, a Catholic religious order, the university embraces the Franciscan core values of service, humility, collegiality, contemplation and peacemaking.
- Motto: "To Learn, To Love, To Serve"
- Campus: The main campus in Reading is 121 acres, with two satellite campuses in Philadelphia and Pottsville (Schuylkill County).
- Location: Our residential campus is situated three miles from center-city Reading, in the scenic Blue Mountain area of Eastern Pennsylvania.
- Enrollment: 3,000 students attend Alvernia including 1,500 traditional undergraduates, 600 continuing education students, and 780 graduate students. Over 77% of first-year students live on campus.
- Faculty: Our professors are accomplished scholars, experts in their fields, and supportive mentors. The student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1. Most classes are 20 students or fewer.
- Athletics: NCAA Division III, member of the Commonwealth Conference of the Middle Atlantic States Athletic Corporation and member of Eastern College Athletic Conference, 8 men's and 10 women's intercollegiate sports.

Which fresh face offers best hope?
Four -- or maybe five -- teams will rely on rookie quarterbacks in Week 1
There is no doubt that the National Football League has evolved into a passing league. If you don't have an upper-echelon quarterback named Manning, Brady, Brees, Rodgers or Roethlisberger, you haven't won a Super Bowl in the past nine seasons. Quarterback play is essential to success.
But there also is no doubt that the NFL is getting younger at the most important position. As many as five rookies could start at quarterback when the season opens. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, there haven't been more than two rookie QBs starting in Week 1 since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970.
And this is one year after we were given Cam Newton, who set the bar for rookie starting quarterbacks by throwing for 4,051 yards, eclipsing Peyton Manning's 13-year-old record. Barring an injury before the second Sunday of September, these four rookies will start: Andrew Luck for Indianapolis, Robert Griffin III for Washington, Ryan Tannehill for Miami and Brandon Weeden for Cleveland. Russell Wilson for Seattle could be the fifth. (If some vocal Eagles fans could get their wish, Nick Foles would be the sixth, but that's another topic for another day.)
To be successful, rookie quarterbacks need a ton of help. A solid offensive line is a plus, as is a reliable running back to ease some pressure and create balance. Sure-handed receivers who know how to get open are a necessity.
With that as a guide, which rookie quarterback is in the best position for success, and who might struggle? Here's a look:
Andrew Luck: We'll start with the No. 1 pick. By all accounts, Luck is mature and solid, a can't-miss prospect with a terrific attitude, an appetite to learn and a willingness to take responsibility when things don't go smoothly. Accountability will earn Luck respect in the locker room. It already has.
Although no one with the Colts will utter the R-word, the franchise is rebuilding. Indianapolis has a new general manager in Ryan Grigson, a new coach in Chuck Pagano, a new quarterback and a revamped roster that will leave Colts fans needing a cheat sheet to identify the players. This team will grow with Luck, and, although he has many positive attributes, he can't do it alone.
The offensive line has three new starters: center Samson Satele, right guard Mike McGlynn and right tackle Winston Justice. It will take time for the line to jell. The Colts' approach to the ground game appears to be running-back-by-committee, and they don't have much depth on either side of the ball. They need more pieces.
The good news for Luck is that the team will grow as he grows, and owner Jim Irsay is going to be patient. The Colts should be better than their 2-14 season a year ago, but things probably will be a little bumpy.
Robert Griffin III: None of the rookies has walked into as pressure-packed an environment as Griffin has. Redskins fans are nuts, and ever since Washington made the trade with St. Louis to be able to draft Griffin one slot after Luck, Griffin has been viewed as the savior of the franchise.
No pressure.
Washington has been to the playoffs just three times in the past 19 seasons. The Redskins haven't had a franchise quarterback in forever. And on it goes.
But Griffin has welcomed the pressure, and he has dazzled with his playmaking ability. He has a strong arm and an ability to improvise and extend plays. He has no fear. This will earn him much respect as long as he can protect the football.
The Redskins brought back their entire offensive line from last season, but right tackle Jammal Brown tweaked his hip on the first day of training camp and is on the physically unable to perform list. Guard Kory Lichtensteiger probably won't play in any preseason games after having offseason knee surgery, although Mike Shanahan has said he hopes Lichtensteiger will be ready for Week 1. Will the line be able to protect Griffin, and will he be able to minimize the punishment he takes outside the pocket?
The good news for Griffin is he has a lot of talented options at wide receiver. Santana Moss is a proven veteran. Pierre Garcon is stepping into a new role as a No. 1 with a new team. Leonard Hankerson showed what he could do last season in Week 11, catching eight passes for 106 yards before suffering a season-ending hip injury. Josh Morgan is also an option and is a good run-blocker.
Griffin has options, but Redskins fans aren't going to be patient.
Ryan Tannehill: First-year coach Joe Philbin elevated Tannehill to the starting job last week, opting for the rookie over Matt Moore and David Garrard, who is injured. Tannehill is familiar with offensive coordinator Mike Sherman and his West Coast offense because he played for Sherman at Texas A&M.
But there are significant questions about the Dolphins' offense. Who is the No. 1 receiver? Who is the No. 2 receiver? Who is the No. 3 receiver? Miami has solid running backs, but where are the points going to come from?
On defense, the Dolphins are switching to a 4-3 under new defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle. That is an adjustment. And there are questions in the secondary.
In a division that includes the explosive Patriots, an improved Buffalo team and the enigmatic Jets, Tannehill could have a tough season.
Brandon Weeden: Browns ownership is changing hands, which creates an environment of uncertainty that isn't healthy for anyone in the organization. No one's job is safe, and there will be extra pressure on a second-year head coach for the team to have positive results.
Weeden is part of a rebuilt offense that will rely heavily on a couple of other rookies: running back Trent Richardson, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz and wide receiver Josh Gordon, a supplemental draft pick. Richardson is coming off an arthroscopic knee procedure earlier this month, and Gordon -- who did not play in college last season -- has struggled.
The Browns need time. We will see whether new owner Jimmy Haslam will give it to them.
Russell Wilson: Might happen. Might not. It depends on what Pete Carroll decides: Go with free-agent acquisition Matt Flynn or the 5-foot-10 third-round draft pick. After Wilson dazzled Friday night, leading the Seahawks' first-teamers to three touchdowns and three field goals on their first six possessions against Kansas City, Carroll could be leaning toward Wilson. He said after the game that "I'll let you know later," The Seattle Times reported.
The Seahawks don't necessarily need a quarterback to be phenomenal to win games. They have a top-10 defense, have upgraded their pass rush and have a formidable running game. The quarterback will have to manage games that should be lower-scoring and hand off to Marshawn Lynch. Not a bad gig.

What is the right breast size for you?So you're pretty sure that you want to have your breasts enlarged but you don't know how big is too big. The fact of the matter is only you can decide what is the right breast size for you. There is no perfect size for every woman. Who has the world's biggest boobs? In 2003 the 38 year-old porn star, Maxi Mounds, declared by Guinness Book of World Records to have the world's "largest augmented breasts". What is the size of the world biggest boobs? Maxi Mounds augmented breasts measure 60.5 inches when her chest is measured across the nipple line. Her breasts currently weight 20 pounds each and she is forced to wear a size 26MMM bra. How did Ms. Mound's boobs become so large? Maxi had propylene string implanted in her breasts. This procedure is now banned in the UK and United States. The propylene string caused irritation of the breast tissue which then produces a fluid. Due to the fact that the fluid has nowhere to go it causes the boobs to become larger. It is unknown how large the breasts can continue to grow to. Have you seen larger boobs than Maxi's? Yes, you probably have. The reason for this is we may never know 100 percent for sure who has the world biggest boobs. We only know who has come forward and been measured so that they may claim the title of having the world's largest boobs. Let's face it some women just want to have big breasts and do not want the fame the surrounds having them. Other women only want large boobs for the money and fame. Are there before and after pictures of the world's biggest boobs? Yes. But, Lolo Ferrari has larger boobs than Maxi Mounds. That is true Lolo Ferrari was recorded as having 71 inc breasts in 1996. In 2000 Lolo died from mechanically induced suffocation. Lolo Ferrari was known as "the woman with the largest breasts in the world". |

and wanted to find out if anybody knows anything about them? I couldn't find any reviews anywhere and I know you get what you pay for but I really need new seat covers and don't have the money for wet okoles or similar.
Second question: do any of you have leatherette seat covers from any brand? How well do they hold up, especially compared with neoprene covers?

You Made It Weird #7: Neal Brennan
By Katie Levine on November 23, 2011
Neal Brennan, who co-created the friggin' Chappelle Show for crying out loud (and is a great, hilarious standup, writer and director), has the best show biz stories in the world. He shared a ton of them here, as well as a couple of the things that make him incredibly weird. Neal, like past guests, is another brunch buddy, and we've recreated the feel of one of our many vegan feast chats here for you to enjoy. SO ENJOY. Got it, weirdos?
Follow @nealbrennan on Twitter and check out Neal's podcast The Champs!

Special thanks to Carvin for supplying us with the equipment we need to record this podcast! Check out Carvin.com for more information on recording equipment, guitars, amps and more!
I <3 You made it wierd, my new fav podcast!!!!
Good of Neal to note that human rights is just a trendy fad among white liberals who only care because of how much they hate everything. A hundred-years-old, trendy, stupid fad
Every time I see Neal perform, I know he's going to do some deep-digging, thought-provoking stuff. Last year I went to the Comedy Store really late one night and saw Neal for the first time. There were less than six of us in the crowd by that point, and he kept asking why we were all still there. He seemed genuinely confused and borderline angry about it. The vibe was almost like he was the club owner, and he had tried every way he could think of to get people to leave so he could close up and go home, and as a last resort he went up to pretend to do a set just so he could usher us out from the stage. Finally, he sighed and started telling jokes. The subtext made me laugh that much harder.
Pete, the "alt-hack" notion is great. Another one to add to the list is reminiscing about blowing into old Nintendo games to make them work. If I never hear that one again, it'll be too soon.
Really enjoying YMIW. Keep up the good work!
I think complaining about what's in your dressing room sounds like bitch shit because it IS bitch shit. First off let me say I love the podcast, your stand up, and Chappelle's Show was a huge part of me and my friends' life in high school but you guys kinda sounded like douches this time. To expect that your work environment needs to be perfect for you to do well is asking too much. NO ONE gets everything the way they want and I think true talent would be being able to work through that. Think about some one like a surgeon. Their jobs are waaaaaaay harder than yours and they get called in the middle of the night sometimes for some emergency surgery or something. Yeah I get that you can't screw up because you can't hide because your failure is immediate but you just have to pick yourself up again. But they CAN'T SCREW UP OR SOMEONE DIES!!! You guys aren't putting things in perspective. Asking for a water fountain is NOT the same as asking for MnMs without yellows! Also if you mess up that should be on YOU! Don't blame your failure on a sandwich. I agree that it would be annoying if I asked for a coffee and a half hour later they still hadn't gotten it but maybe you shouldn't have been late. I don't know. I'm just rambling now. But you get my point. Your job may be important to you (which it should be) but have some perspective and don't feel like you are so entitled to a perfect sandwich before you perform because you aren't. No one is. That whole conversation just bugged me. Usually if something sounds like bitch shit, it is. You guys really tried to justify it but I just wasn't buying it.
Anyways I really do love the show! Just thought I'd share my thoughts and make your comments section weird.
Presumptuous that we have jobs? As snooty as I found that remark, funny, it's true for me, I don't have a job hahah. But if I did have a fancy job I would pack my own damn lunch and pour my own damn coffee. If I trust someone with what I want, way I want, it's ME.
Wow. So… I might be done with sex with men- thanks, "You Made It Weird"! Ack factor^9 on sex as violence.
This episode hurt my head in the middle. I'm going to go listen to Sex Nerd Sandra to gain some equilibrium/restore my hope in dudes.
(You got me back with the Stallon story though- awesome!)
[…] You Made It Weird episode that really caught my ear was the interview with the Co-Creator of Chappelle's Show, Neal Brennan. I definitely have a much better sense now of how Brennan thinks and […]
Love the podcast, just got into Pete Holmes and the crew. It was really hard to swallow this episode just because of that whole coffee story. A production assistant is there for the whole production, and while I understand you can ask them to do personal favors for you, I don't like the idea that you deserve everything to be perfect for you just because you are more important. I really liked Neal Brennan and love Pete Holmes and hopefully I'll be able to shake this from my memory because it really made my heart really sad to hear this kind of thinking.
Perhaps Summer wasn't a man hater, but just became a Neal Brennan hater when she got to know him? (Coffee story and attitude towards women strikes me as indicators of overall worse than Haiti-ness) He did bring the glorious Pop Copy into this earthly plane though, so that makes up for the former.
This is the fucking dumbest, least informed theory on gender that I've ever heard. I want to make fun of it, but it already sounds like a bad joke to me. Talk about hack, Jesus, I'm so tired of hearing it, especially in comedy.
Horribly sad to listen to listen to a rich straight white guy speak so poorly about minorities. This is a major clunker in the YMIW vault. Neal paints with a giant uninformed brush. Love Pete though.

I'm not a fan of the packaging; some of the product kind of leaked through the bottom.
Overall I've been wearing this everyday since I've got it. I always have dry lips-- like ALWAYS regardless of whatever product I use.
Haven't an idea why.
So for me, of course this doesn't moisturize very well. BUT I use it because it fades to a stain. Which I love.
So... kind of lasts all day in that aspect.
It's like three dollars at Walgreens.
Try it out.
My HG lip balm, in simple words....I can`t live without this... I`ve been using it for about 4 years and I`ll keep buying for sure... I love my nivea lip balm, I will definitely repurchase :D

I really like this lip balm. It moisturizes your lips while giving them such a nice tint. I think this would be perfect for everyday wear. Although the colour looks dark in the tube after you apply it it gives your lips the nicest tint! I found this similar to the Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm in Cherry Me, but this is a little more pigmented. This lasts 2-3 hours on my lips and it makes them look so glossy and nice. This also smells amazing and you get a lot of product for the price! The only thing I did not like about this is that it does not moisturize as well as some of my other lip balms. I would repurchase and recommend! Thanks for reading and I hope this helps!

It seems like I was collecting this product because I don't continuously use it. It's just not fun! :(
Ok, I LOVE this colour... but this has zero staying power and does not moisturise my lips. I'm onto my third tube, because I love the sheeny red glow it gives my lips - but reality is, you have to keep reapplying it every 10 minutes, because it just vanishes from the lips and leaves them dry. As many times as you reapply it, it does not moisturise the lips.
Very pretty, though. Will buy again, just because of the red glow it gives my lips.

I LOOOOVE this!! My love affair began when I asked the girl sitting next to me (a very pale and freckly red head just fyi) where she got her lipstick. She told me it was Nivea and that it was actually lip balm. I freaked out! I love the fact that it looks good on everyone and especially the fact it has the same moisturizing qualities regular Nivea has,along with color and flavor! All in all, a great product. My whole math class is hooked!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
OK where do I start. LOOOOOVE the color. I look kinda badass with this and some aviators and no makeup underneath. Fooled you suckaaaaas who think I'm put together! It's a lovely red color. (duh, right? hahaha. Oh, I kill myself...) Anyway, it's kind of sheer but definitely buildable to quite a natural red lip. Sometimes I apply a crap-load and my lips look so defined and adorable and fresh but I find that when I smack my lips together, the actual product migrates to the borders of my lips. It's a little awkward and looks uneven but I just kiss the back of my hand and it evens out :) In terms of moisture, it actually seems to dry out my lips a tiny bit but then again I have lips that are constantly dry. Not only are they just annoying, but I have this tragic habit of chewing them and peeling off skin. It's disgusting but we're all adults here. Period. Tampons. Facial hair. Toenails. Still here? Let's continue. The price is nice (I live in Chicago aka Tax Land and it's $3:50ish total) because it gives a truly lovely effect. I take a lippie away because I have to go through the extra measure of applying another chap stick over it to keep my lips happy. This is a little annoying because it affects the longevity of the product. This isn't to say that the product comes off easily. Quite the contrary! It tints your lips so that after it wears off you still look like you're alive and full of oxygen-rich blood YIPPIE!!! I will ALWAYS repurchase this and I always have multiples that my sister steals and claims she bought. I just wish they added some shea butter or coconut oil so my lips won't look parched over the course of the day. However, the color and longevity are so worth the extra layer of lip balm. I love this product. It's HG for me.
5 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this for the tint mainly, but secretly I was also hoping for some heavy duty moisturizing power. Not a good choice. It's too thin and slippery and it doesn't get absorbed. So I won't be buying it again.
i generally buy the eos lip balms for its moisture but i ended up with this lip balm because my mom picked it up for me. the packaging is cute and the smell is delish! it smells like cherry candy. i really the texture of this lip balm. it's smooth and silky. and the color pay off is really nice! it's really buildable on me and i can get a pretty good red lip with this. however, unlike a lipstick, it comes on like a stain or as if you has eaten a popsicle look ( but it's not blotchy if that makes sense). i like it though. for the moisture, it's not super moisturizing, but it does give you a good amount of moisture like a regular lip balm. like what the other person said, it does cling to dry skin.
this product is recommended for those have smooth lips and want a decent amount of moisture plus color on their lips.

This has the same texture as chapstick. It smells great, and the color payoff is similar to a pale red stain. I like that part of it, and the price is great. The downfall is that you already have to have smooth, well-conditioned lips to be able to use this product. If not....it clings to the dry parts of the skin on lips and those bits show up darker, like little red pebbles. I find it strange that you have to have good condtion lips to use this lip care product, as that is the purpose of using a lip care product in the first place. Definintely worth the price if you have moist lips as the color pay off is nice.

Nonprofit Marketing: Leverage the Internet for Outreach and to Boost Donations
August 17, 2012 | By Lateef Mauricio | No Comments
Standard marketing principles apply even to nonprofits; however, in the nonprofit world we use more suitable terminology, like Outreach, and Communications to describe the activities necessary for furthering the nonprofit's mission. The web provides, along with an effective offline marketing strategy, an efficient platform for reaching target audiences, whether they are well-wishers, brand/mission evangelists, or donors. The starting point is a solid website that serves the same purpose that brochures, leaflets, and public service announcements do – to comprehensively inform various publics about the organization and to convert supporters into donors. The nonprofit's website also offers a handshake between the website viewer and the organization, presenting a "Get Updates" button that offers a minimal incentive in exchange for the viewer's information. This information becomes the online base for outreach efforts.
Always ask information-seekers and supporters for their e-mail address at a minimum. With e-mail addresses collected we develop a simple e-mail outreach campaign that provides a channel to send out quarterly newsletters, promoting events, and publicizing hot button issues or donation campaigns. In the email be sure to include the best material at the top of the e-mail, just like the print world's "above the fold" principle. This would be a good time to invite e-mail recipients to "Like" the nonprofit on Facebook and "Follow" it on Twitter. A link that offers to "share with a friend" would be an added feature of the e-mail.
The social nature of the e-mail is very important to the success of email communications. When someone reads your email remember that they made a concerted effort to sit in front of the computer to read their new emails, or the most hyper-digital of them set their phones to notify them for each email. This low-pressure environment provides the reader with a summary of the nonprofit's latest achievements, and also calls for a donation or support by following the nonprofit on their Facebook page. This isn't where the e-mail outreach campaign stops though.
An appropriately structured e-mail outreach campaign provides meaningful performance metrics that help us make better, more calculated decisions in developing follow up campaigns. There are several online tools for creating and managing e-mail marketing campaigns, including Constant Contact, Vertical Response, and MailChimp. The latter offers a free plan that is full of features and benefits, including a reporting dashboard that lets you know how many people received the e-mail, how many of those people actually read the e-mail, and what links were clicked on the e-mail. This helps us determine what content was the most popular, allowing us to focus on that specific content type in the future to enhance results on future campaigns.
While there are many online tools for running e-mail campaigns you need to choose the one that fits your organization's needs, most of them offer free trials and some of them have basic plans that are affordable and sometimes free themselves. To summarize, the most important factors of an e-mail campaign are effective e-mail design and meaningful reports; furthermore, the capability to integrate with your organization's constituent relationship management (CRM) system can be quite important if you rely on that CRM for day-to-day operations.
A CRM system made specifically for nonprofits will help you manage just about every part of your nonprofit's operations, from communications to events, and finances to donor/membership management. Popular CRM systems produced by Blackbaud/Convio. StratusLIVE, and Sage will allow you to import the results of your e-mail marketing campaigns, often in .CSV and .XLS formats; in fact, these CRM systems may also contain their own e-mail campaign management tools, allowing you to develop and launch e-mail outreach efforts from within the CRM system itself. Nonprofit organizations face the same principle challenges that corporations must deal with; nevertheless, nonprofits have much more limited resources and are forced to do more with less.
I have a lot of experience working with nonprofits at their early stages – if funding is available it's important to invest in a CRM system to help organize all of the disparate data that often gets lost in Excel spreadsheets or at worst, physical documents spread about the office. An option we've frequently entertained is the implementation of an affordable, open source nonprofit CRM called CiviCRM. This CRM is built to run directly on your existing website built on an open source platform like WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla.
As you can see, the internet offers the nascent nonprofit organization, and the established one, the ability to reach out to diverse publics in a cost-efficient, measurable manner. The most important part of using the web for nonprofit management is to actually get started. Don't be afraid to get your feet wet, and don't let the "technical" nature of these web-driven campaigns hold you up from starting. Often times these web applications provide excellent documentation and there are an increasing number of nonprofit management professionals that understand how to leverage the web to forward the organization's mission – seek these folks out or start on your own now.

"The evening's curious vanity and irrelevance stay with me, if only because those qualities characterize so many of Hollywood's best intentions. Social problems present themselves to many of these people in terms of a scenario, in which, once certain key scenes are licked (the confrontation on the courthouse steps, the revelation that the opposition leader has an anti-Semitic past, the presentation of the bill of participants to the President, a Henry Fonda cameo), the plot will proceed inexorably to an upbeat fade. Marlon Brando does not, in a well-plotted motion picture, picket San Quentin in vain: what we are talking about here is faith in a dramatic convention. Things "happen" in motion pictures. There is always a resolution, always a strong cause-effect dramatic line, and to perceive the world in those terms is to assume an ending for every social scenario… If the poor people march on Washington and camp out, there to receive bundles of clothes gathered on the Fox lot by Barbra Streisand, then some good must come of it (the script here has a great many dramatic staples, not the least of them in a sentimental notion of Washington as an open forum, cf. Mr. Deeds Goes to Washington), and doubts have no place in the story."
~ Joan Didion On Hw'd In 1970
CAMPION: We were driving around the countryside the other day, and we happened to chance upon a lone bull and cow going through some sex rituals. I was so surprised to see how lengthy the whole process was for this bull. He started licking the cow's shin and worked his way quite laboriously up toward her ass. And every now and again, you thought, "Maybe she's ready now—he'll try a quick move."
TAYLOR-JOHNSON: She wasn't ready.
CAMPION: She made it clear that that wasn't the case. We couldn't even wait; it was like 15 minutes, but it was really adorable. Even when we came back, they were still at it. The foreplay was phenomenal.
TAYLOR-JOHNSON: You don't think of animal love in that way.

Having a sore elbow is very irritating, I know. It's definitely one of those things that you take for granted until it doesn't work properly anymore.
Apparently this condition is caused just as often by trauma as by repetitive motions. I know if suffered from it when I tried to lift something heavy too quickly and I guess I just injured the area.
I found that the hardest thing was keeping the area relaxed. Because it hurt I kept wanting to tense it up all the time, but that made it worse. I had to force my muscles to ignore the pain and relax so it could heal.
I found that anti-inflammatory painkillers worked wonders as well!

ProShares Launches First Breakeven Inflation ETFs
ProShares, the country's fourth most successful exchange traded fund (ETF) company, 1 today announced the launch of ProShares 30 Year TIPS/TSY Spread (NYSE: RINF) and ProShares Short 30 Year TIPS/TSY Spread (NYSE: FINF), the first ETFs designed to provide exposure to breakeven inflation, 2 a widely followed measure of inflation expectations. The ETFs list on NYSE Arca today.
The two new ProShares ETFs are:
- RINF — seeks to match the performance of the Dow Jones Credit Suisse 30-Year Inflation Breakeven Index, before fees and expenses.
- FINF — seeks to provide the inverse of the daily performance of the Dow Jones Credit Suisse 30-Year Inflation Breakeven Index, before fees and expenses.
"Many investors are focused on inflation and closely follow breakeven inflation, a common yardstick for inflation expectations," said Michael L. Sapir, Chairman and CEO of ProShare Advisors LLC, ProShares' investment advisor. "We are pleased to offer investors the first ETFs linked to this important economic indicator."
Breakeven inflation aims to isolate the market's expectation of inflation implied by the difference in yields between Treasury Inflation Protected Security (TIPS) and Treasury bonds. The Dow Jones Credit Suisse 30-Year Inflation Breakeven Index tracks the returns of a long position in 30-year TIPS and a short position in Treasury bonds. 3, 4
About ProShares ProShares is the country's fourth most successful exchange traded fund (ETF) company, 1 with 128 funds and nearly $23 billion in assets. 5 ProShares' lineup includes the largest family of geared (leveraged and inverse) ETFs. 6 ProShare Advisors and ProShare Capital Management are affiliated with ProFund Advisors, which was founded in 1997. Together, they manage more than $26 billion in ETF and mutual fund assets. 5 1 Source: Financial Research Corporation, based on analysis of organic net sales of U.S. exchange traded products (as of 6/30/2011). Includes products launched by their current management company; excludes products acquired through purchase or merger. 2 The spread difference in yield between Treasuries and TIPS (Treasury yield minus TIPS yield) is commonly referred to as "breakeven inflation" (BEI) or the "breakeven inflation rate" and is considered to be one measure of the market's expectation for inflation over a defined period of time. 3 Treasury bonds with the closest maturity to the 30-year TIPS. 4 The index is designed to be a measure of the market's annualized inflation expectations in the United States over the next 30 years. 5 Assets as of 12/31/2011. 6 Source: Lipper, based on a worldwide analysis of all known providers of funds in these categories. The analysis covered ETFs and ETNs by the number of funds and assets (as of 6/30/2011). ProShares Short 30 Year TIPS/TSY Spread seeks a return that is the inverse of the return of an index (target) for a single day, as measured from one NAV calculation to the next. Due to the compounding of daily returns, ProShares' returns over periods other than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the target return for the same period. Investors should monitor their holdings consistent with their strategies, as frequently as daily. Unlike many traditional bond funds, these ETFs are not designed to provide steady income. The level of the index (and these funds) will fluctuate based on changes in the price of the underlying bonds, not their yields. The returns of these funds will be more directly linked to percentage changes in the index than percentage changes in breakeven inflation ("BEI"). The index is not designed to measure the realized rate of inflation, nor does it seek to replicate the returns of any index or measure of actual consumer price levels. Additional factors besides inflation expectations, such as liquidity and risk premiums, can materially affect BEI levels. The index is a measure of 30 year "on-the-run" BEI.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Xavier times drop again at Disney World meet For immediate release . . . October 7, 2006 Women's results • Men's results LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Xavier University of Louisiana's cross country teams recorded seven individual season bests Saturday — including all five men's runners — in the Walt Disney World Classic at the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex. The five Gold Rush runners — Darren Wallace, Chris Butler, Joshua Miles, Bryan Khan and Joe Drexler-Dreis — collectively shaved approximately five minutes off their previous 8,000-meter times of the season. Wallace and Khan each improved on their season bests for the third consecutive meet. Wallace led Xavier for the fifth time in as many meets this season. He ran the course in 28 minutes, 13.84 seconds and finished 109th out of 239 runners. Butler was 111th in 28:25.66, which was nearly two mintes faster than his previous best this season. Setting season bests for Xavier in the 5,000-meter women's race were Stacey Young and Amani Harlee. Young finished 143rd out of 287 runners in 21:50.61, nearly a minute faster than in the Rhodes Invitational last week, and Harlee was 174th in 22:25.32, an improvement of approximately 30 seconds. Ebony Harding was the fastest Gold Nugget for the fifth time in as many races this year. Harding's 21:37.14 ranked 135th. Xavier scored 588 points to finish 20th out of 30 teams in the men's division and 667 points to finish 24th out of 36 women's teams. UCF won the men's title with 60 points, and Brigham Young won the women's with 35. Individual champions were Wilbourn Kosgei of Warner Southern (25:23.89) and Jael Koech of Florida Southern (17:52.03). The meet was the last of the regular season for Xavier, which will compete Oct. 21 in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championships at Clinton, Miss. |

The Artist and Her Studio
"Controlled chaos," Laura Tarrish says, laughing, as she describes her studio. Her career spans 20 years as a designer, illustrator, and collage artist. Recently, she launched Bridgetown Papers (bridgetownpapers.com), a line of custom paper goods. How does she do it all? She relies on the following:
1. A BIG TABLE "I like a work area big enough for me to see things and reach them," says Laura. "So I can be on the computer and still do hand work."
2. GOOD LIGHTING is really important. "There are never enough windows and never enough storage."
3. SERENDIPITY "I love old manuals, typography, stamps, maps. Then, when I am organizing, I will come across the odd thing that is inspiring. If I file it away I will forget I have it."
