Title games feature Ravens-Pats, 49ers-Falcons
One game is a rematch. The other might feel like one - at least to one of the teams.
For the second straight year in the AFC, the New England Patriots will host the Baltimore Ravens with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
In the NFC, it will be San Francisco traveling to Atlanta, with the Falcons defense trying to stop a versatile, running quarterback for the second straight week.
''Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are mobile quarterbacks who throw the ball at extremely accurate levels,'' Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud said. ''We can use this game as a cheat sheet to prepare for next week.''
On Sunday, the Falcons barely got past Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, who overcame a 20-point deficit to take a one-point lead, but gave it up after Matt Ryan drove Atlanta into field goal range and Matt Bryant made a 49-yard kick with 8 seconds left.
Atlanta is the only team not making a repeat appearance in the NFL's final four. Last year, it was the Giants playing, and beating, the 49ers for the NFC title.
On Saturday, Kaepernick passed for 263 yards and rushed for 181 - a playoff record for a quarterback - to defeat Green Bay 45-31.
''We're one step closer to where we want to be,'' said Kaepernick. San Francisco hasn't been to the Super Bowl since 1995, when Steve Young led the 49ers to their fifth Lombardi Trophy.
Though the Niners must travel cross country for the game, they opened as 3-point favorites in a meeting of teams that played twice a year until 2003, when Atlanta was moved from the NFC West to the NFC South. Their only previous playoff meeting was a 20-18 win for the Falcons in the 1998 divisional playoffs. Atlanta won at Minnesota the next week to make its only Super Bowl.
San Francisco's 20-17 overtime loss last year to the Giants was part of a tense day of football that began with New England's 23-20 victory over the Ravens in the AFC title game.
In that game, Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have tied the game with 11 seconds left.
This season, Justin Tucker beat out Cundiff for the kicker's job. Tucker hit a 47-yarder against Denver on Saturday to lift the Ravens to a 38-35 win in double overtime, extending Ray Lewis' career for at least one more week and putting the 17-year veteran one win away from his second Super Bowl.
''We fought hard to get back to this point and we're definitely proud of being here,'' Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. ''We feel like it's going to take a lot for somebody to come and kick us off that field come the AFC championship game.''
Lewis and the Ravens will have to stop the NFL's most potent offense. The Patriots put up 457 yards in a 41-28 victory over Houston, which left them one win away from their sixth Super Bowl in the 2000s.
''I think the two best teams are in the final,'' Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said. ''Baltimore certainly deserve to be here and so do we.''
The Patriots were made early 9 1/2-point favorites against the Ravens.
These teams met in the regular season and that game was also decided by a kick - Tucker's 27-yard field goal that sneaked through the right upright for a 31-30 victory. Or did it?
While the Ravens were celebrating, Pats coach Bill Belichick ran to midfield and grabbed a replacement official's arm as he tried to exit the field. The NFL fined Belichick $50,000 for the gesture.
New England is the even-money favorite in Vegas to win the Super Bowl. San Francisco is next at 2-1, followed by Atlanta (5-1) and Baltimore (8-1).
Among the possible Super Bowl story lines:
-The Harbaugh Bowl. Jim Harbaugh coaches the 49ers and John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens.
-A rematch of San Francisco's 41-34 win at New England on Dec. 16 - one of the most entertaining games of the regular season.

I bought a hard drive connectivity kit for my elite, toyed around with xplorer 360 and got my save games on there. I've poked around the boards and haven't found anything recent in the matter. But the age old question about throwing mp3s on your xbox 360 hard drive. A dumb question, probably and the elders of the board probably find it annoying to read such a redundant question.
I got to pondering it and perhaps I should re-phrase my question. Does an application exist that will get the xbox 360 library dealy to recognize music directly uploaded to the 360.

Of all the terrific running backs that have played football for the University of Montana, my all-time favorite is Yohance Humphery.
Last night, I watched the Blazers, Damian Lillard hit the shot heard around the Pacific NW. As you might know, I'm a 2nd generation Blazer Fan, my son's are now carrying the Blazer torch. They were 10 and 11 when they had last seen their team advance to the second round. They both called me right after the win, my youngest at the game, a memory for sure,
For NFL players, everything changes when you win the Super Bowl.
For example, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was a third round draft choice in 2012.
He's been a solid quarterback, leading his team to 28 wins in two seasons.
Let's see...with a little luck I might be able to bowl 13 strikes in one hour! One minute? Uh, no.
Mike O'Brien here, as a lifelong Rip City fan, since the team first came in the league in 1970, and still nostalgic over the days of our 1st and only NBA Championship. We came very close to winning a championship twice, 1990 against Detroit, and 1992 against Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls. After a while we went on a dry spell, going through several player and coach changes. In 1999, it looked like we were getting back on track, hiring Dunleavy, a seasoned coach, trading for Stoudimire, Rasheed Wallace, the arrival of Arvydas Sabonis, new and promising player, Bonzi Wells, seasoned veteran Steve Smith, and one of the NBA's strongest bench.
Luke Bryan is obviously a creative individual -- and it seems that talent is now rubbing off on his five-year-old son, Bo. However, it may not be the exact kind of creativity that Bryan and wife Caroline had hoped to inspire.
Dierks Bentley proved that not only is he a talented singer and guitar player -- but he's also a very supportive husband. His wife Cassidy ran this year's Boston Marathon, and he was there to cheer her on.
Mike toured Missoula, and he found several things to do and see. Mike went for a walk on the river, which he discovered the beauty of the Clark Fork, a great place for a walk! Then, Mike went for a drive and saw a sign for a baseball field, what a surprise, what a prize for baseball fans in Missoula and surrounding area's!

Gordon Zahn, an author and longtime advocate for nonviolence, died Dec. 9 in Milwaukee.
He was 89 and had struggled with Alzheimer's disease for several years.
Zahn, a graduate of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, became a leading figure in the Catholic pacifism movement, writing several books on the subject and cofounding Pax Christi USA, a Catholic peace organization.
Daniel Ellsberg, an anti-war activist and former Pentagon official who leaked to the press a top-secret report now called the Pentagon Papers - a study on the U.S. government's involvement in the Vietnam War - said he was greatly inspired during the war by Zahn's book "In Solitary Witness: The Life and Death of Franz Jagerstatter."
Zahn's most popular book, it tells the story of an Austrian peasant who was beheaded by the Nazis in 1943 after refusing to join the German army.
"I was very moved by his book," said Ellsberg. "It was very strengthening in keeping me going in the anti-war movement."
The story of Jagerstatter, a Catholic, was relatively unknown until Zahn published his biography in 1964. As a Fulbright senior research fellow, Zahn was in Germany in 1956 researching another book, "German Catholics and Hitler's Wars," when he stumbled upon Jagerstatter's story.
This year, Pope Benedict XVI declared Jagerstatter a martyr, who then was beatified by the church.
Like Jagerstatter, Zahn made it clear he would not participate in military service during World War II.
After the war ended, St. John's University in Collegeville, Minn., offered Zahn a full scholarship when he had little money and found it difficult to get into colleges because of his conscientious objector status. His time there lasted only a year, however. Several chaplains at the school complained that Zahn should not have received the scholarship because of his pacifist beliefs, said Sylvester Theisen, a friend and professor emeritus at St. John's.
"He wasn't entirely popular there with his classmates and professors because of his position on the war," said Doyle.
After the year at St. John's, the school arranged to transfer Zahn to St. Thomas.
But Zahn remained grateful to St. John's, and in 1982, the school awarded him with its highest honor, the Pax Christi Award, and called him an "articulate spokesman for nonviolence" and "a remarkable example."
While at St. Thomas, Zahn studied sociology under U.S. Sen. Eugene McCarthy, a college professor at the time, and the two became friends. Zahn graduated in 1949 and earned a master's degree and doctorate from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
Zahn was an assistant professor of sociology at Loyola University in Chicago from 1953 to 1967 before becoming a sociology professor at the University of Massachusetts in Boston for the next 13 years. He then served for a decade as president and national director of the Center on Conscience & War in Washington.
Zahn also offered advice on the creation of the justice and peace studies program at St. Thomas.
"It's a thriving major here at St. Thomas," said Jim Winterer, news service director for the university.
Though a vocal advocate for pacifism, Zahn did not involve himself in marches or protests. He believed pacifism was a personal commitment, not a political one, said Theisen, who added that his friend was a highly intelligent man who believed strongly in dialogue.
"He was consistently a person who was very kind and compassionate," Theisen said. "He was always respectful, not just as a pose, but genuinely."
A service will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Milwaukee.

Twirling Candy must be on best behavior to win the Pacific Classic
"For years, all Sid wanted to do was win the Pacific Classic," Jenny Craig said Wednesday night at the Classic draw at Rancho Valencia. "He called (trainer) Ron McAnally and said, 'Ron, you've got to find me a horse for the Pacific Classic.' Ron located Candy Ride. It was his dream, really, to win it, and nothing would please him more than to see Twirling Candy win the Classic, also."
If Sadler is feeling any extra pressure to win what would be an emotional and sentimental victory for this distinguished group of owners, he's not showing it.
"Twirling Candy is so good that I've never taken him over there not thinking he was going to win," Sadler said. "There's self-imposed pressure because I feel I have the best horse. But I'm really happy with the preparation. Everything is done, and now it's just up to him."
Sadler says his barn's connection to Jenny Craig is a very special one.
"Jenny Craig is one of the really great ladies in California racing," Sadler said. "She's been a big backer of Del Mar and all charities in the San Diego area. She loves to have good horses, loves to watch them run and loves to watch them run at Del Mar. It's always fun to come down here and have a good season for her."

Fantasy Football Week 6: Start and Sit
Who to sit: Honestly, I can't think of anyone I wouldn't consider starting.
Sleeper:Darrius Heyward-Bey (Raiders) will likely return from the brutal concussion he received three weeks ago. Call it a hunch Oakland gets him involved early and often.
Obvious starters: RB Trent Richardson (Browns).
Who to start:A.J. Green (Bengals) is normally an obvious start, but he's dealing with a knee issue. Monitor his progress. Andy Dalton (Bengals) is completing 73 percent of his passes in his last two games against Cleveland for almost 300 yards and two scores per game. BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Bengals) should get back on track against a defense that gave up almost 250 yards on the ground last week.
Who to sit: If I didn't mention them, sit'em.
Sleeper:Brandon Weeden (Browns) had his best game of the year against Cincinnati, and should be even more comfortable against them at home.
Obvious starters: RB Reggie Bush (Dolphins).
Who to start: This is a matchup of two tough defenses paired with two inadequate offenses. That's never a good thing for fantasy production. Brian Hartline (Dolphins) is still among the leaders in targets which makes him a solid addition to your lineup. Even though Miami's run defense allows a NFL-low 61.4 yards per game, I believe a healthy Steven Jackson (Rams) has a shot to get into the end zone.
Who to sit:Brandon Gibson (Rams) is no Danny Amendola. I've never imagined I'd ever type that sentence. Ever.
Sleeper: The St. Louis D/ST has been outstanding in the past two weeks, allowing just 16 total points while forcing four turnovers and tallying 11 sacks. Miami has turned the ball over 12 times in five games.
Obvious starters: WR Reggie Wayne (Colts).
Who to start: It appears Andrew Luck (Colts) is getting better every week. He has thrown for over 300 yards or multiple touchdowns in every game. I could say Indianapolis' defense is 25th against the run and not much better against the pass. I could also say there's players on New York that should be able to take advantage of that. Players like Jeremy Kerley (Jets) and Shonn Greene (Jets). But I'm not. I refuse. I simply don't trust the Jets. They're a mess and not very good to boot.
Who to sit:Mark Sanchez (Jets). Hopefully, Rex Ryan reads this.
Sleeper:Bilal Powell (Jets) or Tim Tebow (Jets). Someone has to run against the Colts. Anyone can.
Obvious starters: RB LeSean McCoy (Eagles), WR Calvin Johnson (Lions).
Who to start: In its one game facing a dual-threat quarterback this year, Detroit allowed Jake Locker to post 413 total yards with two scores, so Michael Vick (Eagles) owners should be pleased this week. The other disappointing quarterback in this game should be fine too. Matthew Stafford (Lions) has yet to throw multiple scores in a game this season. I believe Megatron goes off this week, because Philadelphia has given up 568 yards to opposing wide receivers the past three weeks. I assume Stafford will be throwing to him.

Arizona State Sun Devils
ASU's rushing offense slow to gain traction
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Running the football was not supposed to be this hard.
On the list of concerns heading into the 2013 season, the Sun Devils' ground game was not chief among them, not with the returning one-two punch of Marion Grice and D.J. Foster, a pair of Doak Walker Award candidates who combined to rush for nearly 1,200 yards a year ago.
Yet, three games into the season, Grice (193 yards) ranks 139th in the country in rushing yards while Foster (32 yards) is not among the top 300.
It's part of the reason why ASU is 107th in rushing offense averaging 108 yards per game, almost half as much as in 2012 (205.4).
"Playing from behind, obviously you're going to throw the football a lot more, so can't dig ourselves in a hole then we can rely a lot more on the run game," running backs coach Bo Graham said. "We've just got to start fast and be more disciplined in the run game. From here on out, definitely need improvement in that part."
Help may be coming in the form of Deantre Lewis, who as a freshman in 2010 had three straight 100-yard games. A gunshot injury, however, kept him sidelined all of 2011 and limited him to only two games last season.
"We're going to increase his role," Graham said Tuesday. "We've got to work in ways, do a better job of getting him in the game, getting him his carries, but from here on out, he's definitely going to pick up his workload."
With that comes the challenge of finding enough snaps for all three running backs, according to Graham.
At Stanford, Foster did not have an official carry and has totaled only six rushing attempts this season, seeing most of his on-field time at wide receiver.
"Every week is different," Foster said. "I'm an athlete so at the end of the day, wherever they want to use me, whether it's in the backfield or out in the slot, I just do it."
Of course, there is one other reason for the lack of production from the running game: The quality of the opposition.
For the third straight week, ASU will face a top-40 rushing defense. USC is the third-best team in the country against the run, allowing only 59.3 yards per game.
"I see their second-level guys," Graham said, "they're not as downhill as weeks past, so should be able to get the ball up in the middle of the formation and get some good yards this week."

"Brad's been the right guy to make this happen," said Jim Miller, owner of Coffee Importers coffee shop in the harbor since 1979 and president of the Dana Point Harbor Association. "He's been consistent, and that's what we need to get this moving forward."
Two topics in the project plan that are still making waves are the designation of parking for boaters and harbor visitors and the decision to create a dry-boat storage facility, which some fear will change the demographic of Dana Point's boaters.
"The parking deck is necessary to provide additional parking for the non-boating harbor users, boaters, the merchants and their patrons," Gross said. "The boat storage building is an efficient way to … (create) the required number of dry storage spaces while allowing for enhancements to the launch ramp facility – all the while providing sufficient parking spaces for boaters."
Miller said the boaters will lose about 492 parking spaces from the boater-designated lot when the new parking plan is instated, "but the reality is they don't use them."
He said only during peak summer weekends such as the Fourth of July is the lot full.
"It's valuable parking that the retail shoppers and restaurant-goers right now can't use," Miller said.
But Heyman – who formed Boaters for Dana Point Harbor in 2008 after a falling out with members of the other boating association – said the parking is necessary to keep boaters coming in the harbor.
"They have a valid observation that most of the time it's empty, but the harbor was not built to be Irvine Spectrum," Heyman said. "The intent should be to maintain and enhance recreational boater activity."
Of all the impending issues, the one looming largest remains the dry boat storage facility. The $30 million, 65-feet-tall building is the biggest and tallest planned in the harbor, and will use a five-level boat storage rack system to replace much of the trailer boat storage space lost in the planned expansion of the commercial buildings and creation of the visitor parking deck.
But with the new system comes a new style of boating; one that no longer involves trailers, and could displace a number of current Dana Point Harbor boaters.
Beard sees the Boat Barn as a linchpin for the whole project. "The reason (the dry boat storage facility) is being built is to accommodate the construction of the new commercial core. It's essential for the project and that's our rub – because we want the project to go ahead, but we don't want the barn."
A construction date for the dry boat storage facility has not been determined, since a portion of the building hangs over the water and will need to go before the Coastal Commission before going forward.

How do you guys enhance your creativity? In the terms of coming up with new costumes, new characters/creatures/mechs, backgrounds, etc...? This is where I believe my problem lies, i don't have a big imagination when it comes to drawing something. It takes me a long time to come up with something to draw which is usually not even great half the time. I'd just like to know how do you guys come up with your ideas?

force yourself to do thumbnail sketches to generate as many ideas as fast as possible first. 30 in 15 minutes for example. dont be critical yet. just fill 'm up and go for a wide variety. then evaluate them and combine and transform, flip, cut up etc etc to generate more thumbnails. pretty soon youll have something like 98 crap ideas with 1 or 2 good ones there.

I think one of the best things you can do as an artist is apply and draw influence from the most unconventional things you can. By this, I mean really strip something that you find interesting down into basic elements, then apply those singular elements to other things.
I see so much art that draws its influence only by other things within its context.
If your designing a character for example, try not to think about what you find cool in other character designs from other people, but go more abstractly. find something you find interesting in architecture, or nature, or even something as intangible as an emotion, and try and let that drive your design. I think some of the most interesting and original designs and art are those that break these molds of influence, and go much deeper.
The flipside suggestion would be to confine yourself within design. Give yourself some very specific limitations, then concentrate your energy and efforts within those limitations. I often been surprised at how creating something within preset guidelines can be more fulfilling and rewarding than creating in a vacuum. Setting those mental limits breaks down the illusion that you have literally infinity to draw from. I have gotten the feeling that no matter what I draw or design, it just barely scratches the surface of potential. A guideline can provide a seeming comfort zone where you dont worry about that as much, and feel more free to create....
hope that makes sense... and helps

get out, do watever it is that ur interested in besides art. play football, go for a walk and do something that we often forget to. ..... gaze in wonder at life all around u and try to help ur imagination to grow. ur imagination is no different from a child that needs nourishment.
interceptor's spot on 2, stop gawkin at other people's art, its no #$#$in use in the end, uv gotta create ur own.
just take things easy, dont think of it as a chore, the beauty of art is that its usually all the things that are done besides art that really boosts ur art, because art is nothing but 'self' expression. paradoxical but we're so fkin lucky, most people will never have that with the jobs they do. all the best.
the sole intention is learning to fly

Here's something I just tried. Briefly look at some designs to get a sense of the "presentation", i.e. layout, detail level, etc. Then spend some time looking at photos/art/whatever that has nothing to do with the subject. As soon as you feel a bit of inspiration and something starts brewing, thats the moment to stop looking at other's stuff. Leave your apartment and go somewhere with just blank paper and pencil. You will not be able to steal any specific thing from somewhere else, and will be forced to sort out all the little details of the design for yourself. This is like getting a little head start, but you still have to run the race yourself.
Anyway, there is no real formula for becoming more creative, though others in this thread have given really good advice. The information junkie thing that Elwell mentioned is very true; get curious about the world.

My teacher one day came up with the idea that creativity is the ability to pull a random thought out of your brain that somehow works, or one that you can mold into and idea that works.
So, if you had more random thoughts/ideas in your head, it would be easier and faster to find the right random idea that could fit the situation.
Therefore, he initiated a "10 minutes of zen" time before the beginning of each of his classes, where a new student each week would present an idea/fact/story (the story of the death of balder and how the themes of a story that old still carry on today, in my case ) that would really make us think, and help create more random thoughts.
He is officially the best teacher I've ever had.

I think it has to do with permutation. "characters/creatures/mechs, backgrounds" these cliches all have a finite number of possible variations. It seems to me the first thing to do is assemble a list of characteristics for each, then to put something together ala Mr. Potatohead. Say you want to create a character, there are several requirements, say: sex, height, build. It can be male or female; short, average, or tall; fat, average, skinny, or buff. Trying different combinations from this list will get you started, then your subconscious will come into play.
Another thing I'll say is steal as many ideas as you can from real life and different cultures. Try to draw this stuff without reference first, and your mistakes and ommissions should chance upon something unusual.

As for the various grim fates that befall most Psykers, I would treat such information as being potentially subversive, and thus Forbidden Lore.
Hmmm... probably. I'd also like to think that due to the negative propaganda-campaigns the Imperium (especially the ecclesiarchy) runs against psykers (burn the witch, abhor the witch etc etc) most people are actually glad the psykers are being carried out of their sight... Common Lore: Psykers would probably also include the awareness of there being Psykers who are not witches-to-be-burned, thus unless you have a person of authority with you (or at least act the way you are the PoA) it'd soon result in a witch-hunt or everyone simply running from the witch, should they be too open about that.
Another way to keep spammy psykers in check (say that five times very fast!), which has doubtlessly been used quite often though
On the other hand, I'd probably also add the CL to some point in the career of the Arbitrator (as they have to know about the mark of sanctioning) and the Imperial Guardsmen (Probably the Sergeant-Path, as psykers are relatively frequently used in the Imperial Guard/Astra Militarum)

Author Insider gives you an opportunity to get better acquainted with some of your favorite female authors. It is a section of Christianbook.com where women authors discuss a topic related to their book or speak about what's dear to their hearts. I hope you enjoy this letter from Cindi Wood, author of The Frazzled Female and Too Blessed for this Mess. - Bonnie, Women's Editor
Cindi Wood is a popular speaker and author helping women to creatively manage the stresses of life. With a degree in education from Gardner-Webb University, she previously taught middle school for sixteen years. Married with two grown children, Cindi lives in Kings Mountain, North Carolina.
Author Letter
Personal contact with Jesus Christ changes everything!
I grabbed hold of that truth when I was a young mother making an early morning commitment for time alone with Jesus. There was just no way around getting up at 4:30 AM for this divine appointment. It was the only time I had! Vividly, just like it was yesterday, I remember falling asleep morning after morning with my Bible opened in my lap. I still get a rush of joy remembering how my Heavenly Father touched my heart with His tender love. No. I was not chastised for dropping off, but rather loved from the heart of God as I sensed Him saying, "Thank you for coming."
If you, like many women, struggle with adding one more thing to your To Do List, my hope is that you'll pick up a copy of The Frazzled Female Devotional Journal. Each page will help you carry through with your commitment to spend time with Him and learn to know His heart.
As you study His Word, talk with Him, praise Him, and go over the details of your day with Him, you'll be blessed beyond measure. Keeping this divine appointment day after day, will help you tap into the joy and fulfillment that God has designed uniquely for you!
Just like I was those years ago - you may not have a lot of time, but you have some time.
Loving Him became my motivation for going to that quiet place morning after morning. I'm praying that you too, will seek His heart in a daily commitment time each day. The more deeply you love Him, the more richly you'll experience the power and rest of personal contact with Jesus Christ. He alone, can soothe your frazzled soul.
"Come away with me by yourself to a quiet place and get some rest." Mark 6:31
Still committing, Cindi Wood

Operation Efficiency
America will need 20% more electricity by 2030 and there's a lot of talk about clean energy to meet that demand. Wind and solar power provide viable energy options. But they cannot do it alone. Solar and wind operate only when the sun shines or the wind blows. Nuclear energy is the only large-scale power source emitting no greenhouse gases, operating 24/7, keeping electric costs affordable.

Stats are generally not a reason to assume a player is ready to move up. Players are not moved up because of their OPS. The level of competition does not increase evenly in every area from level to level. If it did, every player would perform at a relative level compared to what he did in the previous league. There would be no 4A players. A hitter is moved up because the organization sees he has progressed in the specific areas that he will need at the next level. You could go 4 for 4 against a certain Single-A pitcher that will never cut it in Double-A, absolutely own the guy, but the next night when you see a guy with the command more typical of what you might see at the next level, you go 0 for 4 with 2 Ks because you can't lay off the slider. That is 4 for 8, .500. Pretty good. Useless in terms of being ready to move up.
The other issue, probably not as much of an issue with Winker as someone else that might be performing well in Bakersfield, is that the organization is generally not going to make a move if they think it is going to weaken Pensacola, unless it is a top priority prospect. A guy might be hitting .310 in Bakersfield, and you have a guy hitting .260 in Pensacola, and the guy in Pensacola is just an organizational guy but the organization is convinced he is currently a better player than the guy in Bakersfield, that move is not getting made unless it is a top 10 prospect. They are not going to call Delino and tell him we are going to weaken your club because we have a guy in Bakersfield who has some good stats unless it is a priority guy. They are not going to move Ryan Wright up and sit Rey Navarro unless they are convinced it is going to help the Pensacola club.

Winker is a top prospect though. He is better than any OF on Pensacola.
Listen, I love Winker. I am the biggest Winker booster there is. But the stats don't tell you if he is ready to move up. The games do.
They will move Winker up when they are convinced he is ready. It has nothing to do with Fellhauer or Bryson Smith.
The pitcher who threw against Bakersfield last night has an 8.55 ERA. Yes, he had a monster game. That's my point. Billy Doran and others are evaluating this thing daily.

Minor League Player of the Day for Wednesday June 11th
Jesse Winker (Redszone prospect #4) told the Modesto Nuts to sit on it last night. In what may have been the finest night of Winker's blossoming career, his stat line read like this: 3-3, 4R, 2HR, 6RBI, 2BB. That on its own was enough to just edge the next two contenders for the top spot, but Winker also added his 5th stolen base and gunned down a runner at second base. I'll say "Wow" and leave it at that. I think we're all anxious to see him in a Wahoos uniform.
Honorable Mention
Marquez Smith: 3-5, 2R, 2HR, 6RBI The 29 year old had a grand slam in the Blaze's 19 run effort.
Amir Garrett: (RZ #21) Complete game 7IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 5K Garrett is a 6'5", 22 year old lefty. In 5 of his last 7 starts, his numbers read like this: 29IP, 18H, 4ER, 7BB, 22K
Around the Farm
Felix Perez: 2-3, R, 2B, RBI, BB, OF assist
Josh Fellhauer: 2-5, 2B, RBI

Since there are no teams on the moon, I guess South Korea's far enough from Cincinnati to satisfy me.

I was tempted to go with Garrett, especially since he has yet to win the award. Winker's stat line from top to bottom was just too much to ignore.

Thursday, June 12: Marquez Smith, Bakersfield . . . 3-4, HR (15), BB, 2 R, 3 RBI. That's 9 RBIs in 2 games--for a guy who already led the league in that department. Smith is a strange case. He's 29, too old and too good for Bakersfield. But he's there, leading the league in not only RBIs (67 in 66 games) but OPS (1.006). And he didn't make the all-star game. Can a guy get a little respect around here?
Also notable on a day in which the Blaze reached 20 games over .500 (44-24) and Dayton stayed alive, barely, for the Midwest League playoffs . . .
Luke Moran, Day: 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K. First appearance of the season. Don't know where he's been (though I presume the answer is extended spring training).
Ryan Kemp, Day: 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K.
Layne Somsen, Day: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, Sv (2).
Adolfi Telleria, Rojos: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K. A 20-year-old righthander.
Josh Smith, Lou: 7 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 5 BB, 7 K.
Elvin Ramirez, Lou: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K.
Mike Dennhardt, Bake: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K. Nice to see.
Jimmy Moran, Bake: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K. Could be the first time in MiLPOD history that two Morans have made the list (both pitchers).
Juan Silva, Bake: 3-6, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 SB (31). How about this guy? Now rocking a .410 OBP.
Kyle Waldrop, Bake: 1-2, 2 BB, R, RBI. Batting a Cobb-like .363.
John Tolisano, Bake: 2-4, BB, 2 R.
Jesse Winker, Bake: 1-3, 2 BB, R, RBI. No extra-base hits. I assume he batted right-handed.
Juan Perez, Bake: 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI, SB.
Rey Navarro, Pen: HR (9). Pretty strong for a 2B-SS.
Neftali Soto, Lou: 2-2. Left game for a pinch-runner.
Shelley Duncan, Lou: Game-turning 3-run, pinch-hit HR.
Big Lutz, Lou: HR (8). Second for Louisville.
Chris Nelson, Lou: 2-4, 2 R.
Derik Capitillo, Rojos: 2-4, BB, 2 R, RBI.
Carlton Daal, Day: 1-2, 2B, R.
Avain Rachal, Day: 1-2.
Jon Matthews, Day: 1-3, 2B, R. Batting .350 in 100 AB for Bakersfield and Dayton, with a .441 OBP and 14 SB. Bet you didn't know that.

I have never gotten so many compliments on a nail color … ever. Beautiful blue color that looks perfect on all skin tones! Love Essie and their nail lacquers - I've had bikini so teeny on for 5 days now & it has barely chipped. Get this color!

This is a must-have Essie. It is a perfectly gorgeous shade of periwinkle blue that dries to a shiny finish. So great for spring! Four lippies instead of five because the formula is a little more sheer than I would like. This polish definitely needs three coats. But I found it to be easy to work with overall.
I love the color and I would buy it again. Recommended!

A beautiful shade that took a lot more work for me than 99% of my other polishes to gain opacity. With 1-3 coats, it was a streaky patchy mess that could not go without going to full opacity. I took 4 coats, which is more than any of my other polishes (granted, I am unfamiliar with Essie formulas as I usually favour OPI and Chanel.)
It's a gorgeous colour, granted, I am not always patient with this application. I must use Seche Vite top coat with this, otherwise I doubt I could wait for the drying time. I generally do not have problems with chipping with any of my polishes so I cannot comment on that.

This colour is a cute, summery baby blue with shimmers and a fun name! The colour is opaque in two coats and the shimmers are very noticeable in the sun. The colour is flattering on my NC20 skin and is a fun colour for summer. Application is a breeze, not streaky and the Essie brush is the perfect size for my skinny nails. Lasts a whole week without chipping. This is a great summer colour for lovers of pastels :)

Yesss - I think I hear harps & angels singing whenever I wear a new Essie color.. I just used Bikini so Teeny for the 1st time today & I cant stop staring at my feet. it's raining yet this color somehow works for this weather - even though it has the color of some oceanic backdrop of an island getaway dream sequence. Really really really nice!

I love this shade - the perfect light/mid-toned summery blue. But - it can streak with the first coat - looks way better with 2 thin or even 3 thin coats. Wears well - but this is also dependent on the base and top coats you choose.
A good color for sure!

I don't stray from my black claw nails very often but last Summer I was feeling a bit adventurous while giving my nails a break from acrylics and picked up a bottle of this. It takes two or three coats to get it completely opaque but once you do it's a really nice pastel blue shade.
The brush covers the nail in one stroke which is nice and makes the application process a lot easier. I probably wouldn't purchase again just because I like my black claws too much and also because the staying power didn't seem to last any longer than a cheaper nail polish so the price isn't really worth it.

I wore this when I went on vacay with my family in Mexico. I bought it in one of those airport shops. I really loved the color and my mom, sister, aunts, and cousins, and new friends all wanted to wear it too. Haha it was halfway empty when we got back. :) Ps. barely any chipping too.

COLUMBIA - A key S.C. House committee moved along a bill Tuesday that would create the Lowcountry's first comprehensive research university, as the panel embraced a compromise that would allow a newly expanded University of Charleston to offer more post-graduate programs.
The House Ways and Means Committee passed H. 4632 on a voice vote. The measure would allow for the University of Charleston-South Carolina to become the state's fourth major research university. The school would exist as a separate entity from the College of Charleston, and the college's liberal arts degree programs would not be affected by the bill, lawmakers have said. The new school would be overseen by the College of Charleston's Board of Trustees.
The bill has morphed since it was first introduced. Charleston Republican Rep. Jim Merrill and Democratic Rep. Leon Stavrinakis originally filed a bill that would have merged the College of Charleston and Medical University of South Carolina, a plan that saw backlash from both schools.
The new measure now has both schools' support and also calls on the two institutions to find ways to collaborate. There is no new funding tied to the bill. The University of Charleston would have to compete for the same resources as all of the other schools, lawmakers said.
"There is a need for advanced degrees in the Lowcountry that aren't offered now," Stavrinakis said in an interview. The region's workforce needs aren't being met, he said. "We had to fix that."
A diverse seven-member committee had formulated the new structure, holding several hearings to assess what the state and Charleston region needed from a new school. The fact that the group - which was divided on whether to merge C of C and MUSC - could produce a compromise earned praise from other legislators. "Out of controversy comes some good things," said Rep. Brian White, R-Anderson, the Ways and Means chairman.
The University of South Carolina, Clemson and MUSC are the state's other comprehensive research universities.
The bill now moves to the House floor and could see a vote this week.

Welcome to Ridgway Area Trails (RAT)
Ridgway Area Trails (RAT) is both a very effective non-profit, NGO, dedicated to trail advocacy and construction, and a very fun system of single track trail in and around Ridgway, Colorado. RAT the organization is the local chapter of the Colorado Plateau Mountain Bike Trail Association, Inc. (COPMOBA). COPMOBA has been around since 1989, advocating for and constructing trails (including Kokopelli's Trail and the Grand Loop Trail) all over Western Colorado.
Building on the COPMOBA legacy, RAT has created an amazingly accessible trail system right in and around Ridgway. RAT spent 8 years advocating for the project on Town, BLM and State lands. The group has approval from all three agencies to construct over 25 miles of new single track. Construction started in 2011 and has accelerated the past 12 months. RAT has completed trails in Weaver Park (town land) and on BLM land north of town. RAT plans to add at least 15 miles of new trail this summer (2014).
New Trail Every Day!
The RAT single track palette grows more diverse every day. As of June 7, 2014, we have about 9.3 miles of narrow-gauge from Weaver Park inside town limits to the new construction across Highway 550. AmeriCorps has created almost 4 miles of that in the past 3.5 weeks. You can now get in 20 miles and 2300 vertical feet with a ride from town, through Weaver Park and River Sage, up to Dutch Charlie on State Park land, cross 550 and up to four-corners, then multiple descents and climbs of the south face trail system. That will cover almost all our single track, include no re-tread, and involve only about 30 seconds of actual road riding. The rest is trail, from the concrete river walk, through the groomed Park trails, some two-track jeep trail and all that sweet, sustainable single-track. It just keeps getting better.
Stay tuned for more news, please join us on one or all of our volunteer days, and by all means get out and have some fun on our new trails right now!!!
Owners of River Sage Subdivision and Ridgway Town officials have both advised RAT of recent vandalism to RAT system trail signs, both in Weaver Park and the River Sage Subdivision. This destructive, nihilistic behavior, if […]
WOW!!! The Eagle Has Landed!! Last week Colorado Parks and Wildlife officially approved a long-pending COPMOBA grant application for $200,000.00 in new trail construction funds for the RAT system near Ridgway. Needless to say, we […]

Roisin Murphy: Overpowered
One of my favourite album covers, and subsequent single design from last year is Roisin Murphy's 'Overpowered'. The concept came from Scott King's idea of Roisin representing a '24-Hour Pop Star', whether grabbing a bite in a greasy spoon, riding the
bus into town, or doing her shopping. Dressed in glamorous and extravagant outfits designed by the
likes of Gareth Pugh, Givenchy and Viktor & Rolf, she looks ready to perform at a moments notice.
The back cover is a simple type affair.
While the inside fold out is a collection of quotes, statements and excerpts from the treatment for the film clip. A nice quote is "I got signed to EMI because I reminded them of Robbie Williams" Roisin Murphy. There's plenty more so check it out when you're in the local record shop.
The images (Art Directed by Scott King, Photographed by Jonathan De Villiers) encapsulate her love of flamboyance and natural eccentricity as a popstar 'street diva'. In combining banal situations and the glamourous absurdity of costumes and lighting, it highlights the sense of the popstar construct, but in a fresh and exciting way. I also like the simple neon coloured labels written in hand script text, it doesn't take over the image and is a visual cherry on top of a camp christmas cake.
The three singles (forth to be released in July) each feature an over the top dress and similar situation to the cover. The single "Overpowered" features a dress by Viktor & Rolf.
The second single "Let Me Know" features a dress by Gareth Pugh. Who according to the Wiki page had "yet to sell a single dress" as of March 2007. Let's hope this cover shoot helped him afford bread this week.
The third single "You Know Me Better" features a dress by Givenchy. She's also drinking a Guiness, which relates to her Irish heritage.
Roisin has a pretty good Youtube channel found here. With behind the scenes montages of the photoshoots from this album in addition to film clips and live videos.
Mini interview with Scott King and a behind the scenes look at the album cover shoot.
Here's an Interview with Roisin. Which has embedding disabled?! Silly!
Here's another random shot of Roisin from the shoot.
CR Blog also have a good review of the cover here. Which I grabbed the fold out images from to save me from having to scan them.
The photographer Jonathan De Villiers recently shot this great campaign with DDB London below for Harvey Nicholss. More info here.

So true! I'm so happy that this campaign gets coverage. It's probably my favourite of last year.
These kinds of campaigns are the best, where video matches the design and there is some thought behind everything. Also it doesn't hurt that the cd ecompasses some of the very best contemporary pop! Roisin is one of a kind, a godess!
This site flippin rocks. I am so glad it's Aussie based too! GO THE AUSSIES!
p.s. the foo fighters entry totally just helped me with an assignment for design college. cheers! :)
Great inclusion. One of the best covers and campaign I have seen in a long time.
I highly recommend you do a feature on her first album Ruby Blue, its Sequins EPs, and her two videos (mostly all directed or painted by Simon Henwood) as it was consistant to the album art direction and the organic feel of the music. Look into it!!
meh. i myself dont like this cover set, it feels too tacked on. oh heres me in a random dress, well great, but i dont care.
i sound like a meaningless hater, but this work just says that to me.

Remember, Roisin was doing this all BEFORE Gaga started wearing weird/outrageous outfits – if you look back over photos from the past 5 yrs, you'll see that Gaga ripped off many of her "original" looks directly from Roisin, a better more visionary artist who did it FIRST but gets no credit from the commercial masses. Heck, her amazing OVERPOWERED 2007 CD wasn't even released in the U.S. – hello?!

Having gone through exponential growth as the spring has moved along, the Fayetteville-Manlius baseball team is ready for its plunge into the Section III Class AA playoffs.
And a strong CNY Counties League American division mark (9-3, tied with Auburn for the top spot) meant that the Hornets, despite an overall record of 11-9, has the no. 3 seed and will host no. 6 seed West Genesee in Thursday's quarterfinals. F-M beat the Wildcats 1-0 back on May 10 in Camillus.
During the last week of the regular season, the Hornets earned a split, getting the win at home last Tuesday afternoon as it flushed out Baldwinsville 12-4.
Zack Tucker, in his first pitching assignment since that one-hitter against West Genesee, had some early struggles, yet kept F-M within range until its offense could get moving.
That took place in the bottom of the fourth inning. Down 4-1, the Hornets got to B'ville ace Bo Watson, chasing him from the game with a seven-run outburst. A four-run sixth inning would follow as F-M pulled away.
Ben Whorall led the charge with three hits, including a double, and three RBIs. Pat Kellogg scored twice, as did Dan Maloney, as Mike Palermo, Jeremy Mapstone, Mike Perry and Seth Braddock joined Kellogg, driving in one run apiece. Tucker went the route, earning seven strikeouts.
Good as that was, things turned around when the Hornets hosted state-ranked Liverpool on Thursday and took a 9-0 loss to the Warriors.
Liverpool jumped out in front with a run in the second inning, then used a five-run rally in the third (three of them coming home on Pat Wright's triple) to shake up Mapstone, who left after a three-run Warrior outburst in the fourth.
Meanwhile, F-M did get five hits off Liverpool right-hander Pat Brown, but could not convert them into runs as Brown struck out five and gave up just one walk.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
This was an excellent tour. It may be that we were lucky to have Priscilla as a guide (she actually has an archeological background), but anyway she was superb - informed, full of detail, always ready to answer questions, witty and a good but never officious organiser. She even commented on areas we passed on the (relatively short) journey to the area. One could not ask for better.
The tour is very convenient in combining visits to the two locations. Villa d'Este is more or less in the centre of Tivoli, but Hadrian's Villa is in a small town a couple of miles away, and would have been much less convenient for us to visit on our own. Both locations are amazing: d'Este chiefly for its wonderful fountains, which are dazzling in the sun (so try to arrange to go on a fine day!). Hadrian's Villa, which is a larger site, is a striking example of what the Romans got up to in truly sybaritic mode, and Priscilla was particularly knowledgeable about this site.
Inevitably, there were areas we might have explored at greater leisure on our own, but there was no sense of hassle on the tour, and the benefit of having a guide and an organised itinerary outweighed any other considerations. Our one suggestion is to give people just a little longer over lunch (which was in the centre of the small town of Tivoli). There are plenty of places to eat, and Priscilla's recommendation provided quick friendly service and good food, so we can recommend it, but it would have been nice to feel that bit more relaxed, and perhaps to have fifteen minutes longer than the 50 we were allowed! However, this is just a small reservation in an otherwise excellent and memorable tour.
The tour office is pretty easy to find (near the central station), and the formalities were all handled in a pleasantly informal manner. We actually booked the tour online from our hotel while we were in Rome, and everything went exactly according to plan. Full marks!

Larry King's New Business
You're not going to believe this
Departing CNN host Larry King has a new gig lined up: He recently invested in the Florida-based Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Company, which sells technology that enables someone anywhere to replicate Brooklyn tap water for the purpose of making authentic Brooklyn bagels.
Wait, what???
Yes, this company exists. Its apologia pro vita sua reads:
As anyone who has ever been in the New York area knows, Brooklyn bagels have a unique taste and quality. Over many decades, there have been countless attempts, even by experienced New York bagel bakers, to recreate a true "New York bagel" in other cities around the country.
However, no matter how valiant the effort, no one has successfully re-created a true New York bagel until now. The one ingredient with the greatest effect has been missing, which is authentic New York water. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE WATER! The purity, quality and temperature of New York City's world renowned water completes the perfect recipe for bagels, and replicating the New York water to make the perfect New York bagel has become the holy grail of bagel bakers outside of New York.
The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Company's patented water treatment technology system provides the following unique and key competitive advantages:
• Enables the replication of Brooklyn water– the key ingredient necessary to create the nation's finest bagel anywhere in the world.
• Designed to provide maintenance-free operation for the franchisee via satellite monitoring of each store's water system to ensure consistent quality.
• Able to assist local residents, offering up to five gallons of water free, when a boil-water alert is declared.
With this technology, The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Company can firmly state that "it's all about the water."
I have no words. There are no words.

We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking.
