The Final Four for the Rest of the World
The Champions League Semifinals Have Three Historical Powers, One Massive Cinderella; 150 Million Watch on TV
Anyone who thought the NCAA's little four-team basketball tournament in Houston earlier this month was a major sporting event might want to consider what's taking place this week in Germany and Spain.
The world's foremost tournament for professional soccer clubs, the UEFA Champions League, is down to its own final four, and it contains something that March Madness conspicuously lacked: a clash among three colossal powers.
After 208 games involving 76 teams from about 50 countries, the Champions League "bracket" has produced two noteworthy semifinals. Wednesday's matchup includes Spain's bitter rivals, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, whose rosters include Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo—arguably the world's two greatest players. Tuesday's pits English Goliath Manchester United against one of the biggest Cinderellas in years, the German club FC Schalke. The final will be played May 28 in London.
This is what the NCAA tournament would be like if there were more teams, three times as many games and roughly 150 million TV viewers a week in 70 countries. (That's about double the roughly 81 million who watched the NCAA tournament's first weekend.)
Last year's final between Inter Milan and Bayern Munich attracted 2.2 million viewers in the U.S., a 14% increase over the 2009 final, which was aired midweek on ESPN. Last year, Fox Sports outbid ESPN to extend its three-year broadcast agreement with UEFA through 2015.

- Barcelona-Real Madrid at 2:45 p.m. ET Wednesday
"It's the best teams, with the best players from a variety of leagues playing in a tournament style where there is an actual winner," said David Nathanson, executive vice president for Fox Soccer Channel, explaining the move. Fox parent News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
The road to this final four started last summer when 54 teams were whittled down to 10 that joined 22 teams with automatic bids. A group stage halved that number to form a 16-team knockout "bracket" where each pairing is decided by a home-and-home series. Here's a primer on the final four teams—and which NCAA men's basketball teams they most resemble:
FC Barcelona
Barcelona, soccer's stylistic kings, use a dizzying touch-passing system that reduces the game to keep-away.
This year's squad, coached by Josep Guardiola, includes seven members of the Spanish World Cup champions. Barcelona striker Messi leads the Champions League with nine goals, and goalkeeper Victor Valdes has conceded just 16 goals in his past 21 Champions League games.
Still, Barça's attack leaves it vulnerable to quick counters, and it has saved just 65% of shot attempts. A loss last week to Real Madrid and a draw the week before has many wondering if Guardiola knows how to beat Madrid.
NCAA Equivalent: North Carolina
Real Madrid
This team is Champions League royalty, having won a record nine championships, including the first five, from 1956 through 1960. In the past six years, Madrid had sputtered out before the quarterfinals. But ever since the legendary Portuguese tactician José Mourinho arrived last summer, fresh off coaching Inter Milan to the 2010 title, its fortunes have changed. Mourinho is bidding to become the first man to lead three separate teams to the European club championship. In two games this month against Barça, he has pushed his players to pressure the ball all over the field, which kept a club known for its exquisite passing from finding its rhythm.
Johan Cruyff, the Dutch ex-Barça coach known as the father of modern soccer aesthetics, dismissed Mourinho last week as a coach who cares only about results rather than quality play. But this year, Real Madrid has scored 24 goals in 10 Champions League games, with 165 shots, half of them on target. Ronaldo had 14 himself in the first leg against Tottenham.
NCAA Equivalent: UCLA
FC Schalke
Schalke is a disappointing 10th in the German Bundesliga so far this season despite the presence of Spaniard Raul, the top-scorer of all-time in the Champions League, who has an astonishing 71 goals.
The team underwent a late-season overhaul after sacking its discipline-minded manager Felix Magath and brought in Ralf Rangnick, an innovative, maverick coach who preaches a high-energy, counterattacking run-and-gun style of play. Because sending fullbacks on the attack leaves space for opponents to exploit, its big weakness is defense.
NCAA Equivalent: Butler
Manchester United
Led since 1986 by the dean of British soccer coaches, Alex Ferguson, Manchester United is almost exasperatingly steady, even in years when they aren't supposed to be all that good. Sir Alex has won two Champions League titles, most recently in 2008, but many believe he should have won more. This is the team's 12th semifinal appearance.
While United has always been known for its attacking midfielders and forwards, such as David Beckham and now Wayne Rooney, this team has morphed into a stout defensive power. United scored just 12 goals in champions league play before the semis this year.

Traveling to Dallas, Allen & Grapevine, Texas with KIDS!!!
Posted Mar 22 2013 10:01am
Be sure to follow me on
Chris and I love taking the kids to Dallas. This time we went back for a little R&R...you see, our house sprung a leak
. It appears that the fittings that were used are having issues so while we were gone they were all replaced. Hallelujah!
Anyway, back to the point. We love going to Dallas because it's within driving distance from our house and I don't know about you, but flying with a 2 and 4 year old does not top my list of things I'd like to do. My car with it's DVD players is our friend!
So, I was in Dallas and tweeting about some of the fun things we were doing and a couple of my twitter friends asked for more info. I sent them emails because it was just too much to tweet and then more people asked. I decided maybe it would be a good idea to just write a post.
Here it is - a list of things to do with little ones in Dallas and the surrounding areas!
If you haven't visited Allen, you are missing out. Why? This cute, clean, new looking little town has the BEST OUTLET MALL E-VAH! Can you tell I love a good outlet? They have my very favorites: Le Creuset (I've even called them and ordered over the phone), J.Crew, Last Call by Neiman Marcus etc. You can view a full list
Don't laugh but this makes my list...they have an In-N-Out burger. It's new and awesome. And order some animal style fries for me. (PS - They have them in Dallas too).
There is also a Whole Foods here. I love that place. In fact, I love it so much that when we come I bring an ice chest and we stop there on the way home. This is what foodie bloggers do. ;-)
If you've got little ones with you that need to burn off some energy, check out Celebration Park. It's huge and awesome and my kids played for over an hour there one day. They LOVED it! I think it had a splash pad too but it was too cold outside, so it wasn't on. Don't quote me on that though! You can see more info on it
Last but not least, check out
Big Ray's BBQ
on Main Street. Order the ribs and get a side of banana pudding. Your taste buds will thank me.
As far as hotels go, the only one we've stayed at here is the Homewood Suites. I highly recommend it. Is it 5 stars? Nope. But if you have little ones its really practical! We stayed in a (very affordable) 2 bedroom suite. Brayden had a room, we had a room and Brody's pack-in-play went in the living room. It was awesome. They also have a full continental breakfast (waffles, sausage, bagels, ham and cheese sandwiches etc) and they serve dinner each night too. I think dinner is actually free but don't hold me to that - we never ate dinner there.
there to do in Dallas?
How about we discuss a few of my personal favorites?
Dallas Zoo
is great. This is the second time we've gone and the kids had a blast. It is SO fun. It hasn't been busy either time we've gone. In fact, both times, we parked literally right in front of the entrance and has less than a minutes walk to get in. The kids get to feed the giraffes (it costs about $5) and go through a children's petting area (with horses, pigs, rabbits etc). The exhibits are great. There are: tigers, lions, (bears, oh my! just kidding, I don't think they had bears) penguins, koala bears, elephants, giraffes etc. They also have camel rides!
You can bring your own ice chests in along with snacks which is nice because a bottle of water is crazy expensive once you're inside. Oh, and you can ride a camel too! My boys had a blast there!
Affiliated with the zoo is the
Dallas World Aquarium
. It's not the only aquarium in Dallas (this trip we went to the
Children's Aquarium at Fairpark
(more on that later) but we like it the best. The exhibits are pretty good, but don't expect to be blown away if you've been to any of the big players (like the Monterey Bay Aquarium). It's not overly stroller friendly in my opinion, especially if you have a side by side.
The Children's Aquarium, is much smaller but also way more little kid friendly. The exhibits are more on their level and there is a sting ray bay where the kids can actually pet the stingrays. Overall, the staff there is more friendly and helpful and it was not crowded by any means. Figuring out where to park is difficult because the signage is REALLY poor.
Of course there is also the Dallas Galleria. If you have older kids, check out the ice skating rink on the bottom level. The shopping is great and you can stay onsite at the Westin Hotel. We've stayed there countless times and as much as we like it, with two little ones who need their own space, it's no longer a practical hotel for us. If Chris and I are alone we stay there. While you are there, eat at the Grand Luxe Cafe...it's wonderful! Get the fresh dozen chocolate chip cookies to take home with you.
You can also drive over to Arlington and take a tour of Cowboys Stadium if you're a football fanatic! We didn't go this time but we have gone in the past.
I have my twitter friend, Leah, to thank for this next one. She told me about
Klyde Warren Park
. It's the adorable park built on top of an old overpass in a nicer part of town. They have an awesome children's play area and my favorite thing in the world, food trucks. We ate at
The Butcher's Son
and it was out of this world good. If you go, take a chance on the sliders! So good!
We were planning to go to the
Perot Museum of Nature and Science
and walked over from the park. The bad thing was we literally could not find the front entrance. We eventually gave up because we were tired and hot and left but I've heard great things about it. My word of advice is not to walk over from the park though. Get in your car and drive!
Lastly, if you've never been to the
, I recommend going. If you are planning a trip in the fall, that is the PERFECT time to go! They have tens of thousands of gorgeous pumpkins - check out
my post
of our visit there in the fall of 2011.
There are two great reasons to visit Grapevine...The Gaylord Texan and the Great Wolf Lodge! Now, to be fair, I haven't stayed at either of these hotels but they look AWESOME!
The Great Wolf Lodge
is supposed to be great for families with kids.
Also, be sure to visit the
Grapevine Mills Mall
. It's a combo of regular stores and outlets but the main reason we went was to visit the
Rainforest Cafe
. If you've never been to one and you're in the area, check it out! It's so entertaining for kids. They light up the inside with thunderstorms and the jungle animals "come alive." It's decorated like the rainforest and is very cute, but the prices are a little high.
Close by is a cute little main street/old town area with antique shops and little eateries. We drove through and it was adorable! Next time, I'll be sure to stop and take a look around.
Did I miss your favorite place in one of these cities?

Pushed to let loose and discover the passion her rival Lily (Mila Kunis) so effortlessly embodies, the consummate good girl finally cracks after a night of partying. And the resulting "pas de deux" between Nina and Lily is so steamy that it almost overshadows the rest of the film. Aggressive, passionate and intense, the two real-life friends throw themselves into the scene with such vigor that even as Nina's initial enthusiasm starts to unravel into menacing hallucinations, it's impossible to look away.

| My dog recently began eating acorns. What to do? - Black n Gold on 10/9/13 at 3:48 pm
I have two large oak trees in my back yard. Other than cutting the trees down, there is not much I can do to prevent them from dropping acorns in my back yard. Starting about two weeks ago, my dog began eating them like bacon strips. I'm sure they are in some way unhealthy for him. Any ideas that wo...View Topic - Replies (19)

The offense completes a pass along the sideline. Questionable whether or not he got his feet in. Before the next snap is made, a defensive lineman comes across the line of scrimmage and encroaches. Can they still challenge the prior play? I assume not, but but wasn't completely sure. Thanks for educ...View Topic - Replies (0)

Wild Sleep and Dreams
We don't get sleep because we don't 'get' sleep.
Most sleep struggles are rooted in a misinformed, myopic and overly medicalized posture toward sleep and dreams. Healing this requires a radical shift in thinking. We must remember that sleep and dreams are natural experiences and learn to trust their guidance.
Dr. Rubin Naiman's work is based on such an approach. Through an artful blend of sleep science with complementary and alternative medicine, it offers powerful strategies to support healthy sleep and dreams through:
(1) Individual sleep consultations
(2) Deep Green Sleep® healing retreats
(3) Training for health professionals
(4) Consultation to organizations, spas and resorts
(5) Top quality sleep products
Rubin Naiman, PhD is an internationally recognized leader in sleep and dream health. He is the sleep specialist and clinical assistant professor of medicine at the world-renowned University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine directed by Dr. Andrew Weil. He is also director of Circadian Health Associates, an organization that provides information, goods and services in support of sleep health.

This study examined the effectiveness and mechanism by which 635-680nm LLLT acts as a non-invasive body contouring intervention method. 2 Methods Forty healthy men and women ages 18-65 years with a BMI <30 kg/m were randomized 1:1 to laser or control treatment. Subject's waistlines were treated 30 minutes twice a week for 4 weeks. Standardized waist circumference measurements and photographs were taken before and after treatments 1, 3, and 8. Subjects were asked not to change their diet or exercise habits. In-vitro assays were conducted to determine cell lysis glycerol and triglyceride release. Results Data were analyzed for those with body weight fluctuations within 1.5 kg during 4 weeks of the study. Each treatment gave a 0.4-0.5 cm loss in waist girth. Cumulative girth loss after 4 weeks was -2.15 cm (-0.78+2.82 vs. 1.35+2.64 cm for the control group, p<0.05). A blinded evaluation of standardized pictures showed statistically significant cosmetic improvement after 4 weeks of laser treatment. In vitro studies suggested that laser treatment increases fat loss from adipocytes by release of triglycerides, without inducing lipolysis or cell lysis. Conclusions LLLT achieved safe and significant girth loss sustained over repeated treatments and cumulative over 4 weeks of 8 treatments. The girth loss from the waist gave clinically and statistically significant cosmetic improvement. Laser based devices are used in a broad array of lipectomy, examined by electron microscopy and medical and surgical applications and their biological compared to cells removed by lipectomy that were not effects have been documented for over 20 years.

The treatment 3 suggests that the LAPEX 2000 LipoLaser subjects in this study were not obese and an approximate treatments twice a week are cumulative in their effect on 1 inch (2.54 cm) reduction in waist girth over the course of girth loss. It is likely that weight change over the course of 8 treatments and 4 weeks was clinically significant and treatment would change waist circumference and cosmetically relevant. The blinded ratings of the baseline confound the results. The subjects selected for the study pictures compared to treatment 8 (week 4) pictures taken were asked not to lose or gain weight over the course of in a standardized way demonstrated an improvement in the study. Since some subjects did gain or lose a appearance that was highly statistically significant.

make it again
Place a sprig of rosemary, a lump of butter, salt and pepper in the cavity of the chicken. Close the vent with foil, truss the bird and brush it with melted butter flavored with rosemary. Spit it and roast it, basting with more rosemary butter.
Recipes have evolved
over the years, but
the basics are
always the same. I
enjoy the old recipe
books, they make you
appreciate what we
have now. The
chicken is good and
the lump of butter
is whatever you
think a lump is...
more or less, that's
cooking ;-)

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.4 out of 5�by 55 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Judy65 kids love it Dont need pitcher All five grandkids can use. Ages 7-12 like it Works for all. I like that it adjusts for all the kids. May 27, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Mythoughts Not really what expected The upright keeps coming out when hit with bat. Kinda a pain. I'd rather the entire plate flip over, it should have a thing to screw into to make it more of a "one" piece item. Also, the extension falls just with the weight of the ball. April 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jmzd0873 Not strong enough I m actually returning this product. My 12 year old is an advanced player, and we bought this with the intention of him being able to do batting practice drills in our basement during winter. He took a couple swings, and each time it fell over, and/or wobbled. It wasn't heavy enough for his ability. We asked his training coach which brand to purchase, and we bought a tanner tee, which is better for his level. This particular brand would suit my beginner 5 year old, but it just wasn't right for my 12 year old. Would reccomend for beginners. January 13, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lance41 This product works well! So far this tee works well, no issues to date. Has held up to younger players that hit the tee. June 30, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5�by Bears68 Its sturdy Only thing about it its not made well to be used on grass it will not sit straight because of opening on bottom its not tight June 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by tynakker Durable, easy carry tee works well, and while we've only put it through a few hundred swings, it is holding up well and the construction and materials seem excellent. It's very easy to dissassemble and take to practice or store it conveniently. June 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Mommashell1 Very useful Iur so. And friends are using this for baseball and it is working just great June 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by fanofdickssportinggoods Working great. Working great. I like that I can change positions, straps to put stand in and handle making it easy to travel with. May 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by 9pares Great product I like the weight of the tee, it is heavy enough not to move or fall over when the ball is hit and light enough to be portable without being cumbersome. The built in handle and the way everything breaks down is great. What really sold me on this product was the 5 different hitting positions. It has helped me to easily teach proper hitti ng technique to my son. May 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Irsissz Very good Tee I got this tee after buying the one Jugs 5-way. I had to stop using it since it smelled like an oily toxic death. It was really unbearable to store any where. So I bought this one. This tee is great, no smell, and works like a charm. Really like the opened up end on the ball holder. Still standing in a stiff wind even today. May 12, 2015

Dear New Member of the Red Raider Family,
You have already made many important decisions regarding your education. At Texas Tech you will be making many more. At college, there are times to say no. This isn't one of them. As part of maintaining a safe and healthy community that enhances your ability to learn and make well-informed decisions, Texas Tech requires each first-year freshman to complete AlcoholEdu®, an online, interactive course designed to educate you about alcohol and its effects— both physical and mental.
The AlcoholEdu® course has two sections. Both must be completed to fulfill this requirement:
Part 1 of the course takes about 2.5 hours to complete. We recommend that you take it in multiple sittings. This section ends with an exam and survey. You must earn a grade of 70% or higher to pass the course. The course will be available starting July 24, 2014. The deadline for finishing this section of the course is August 14, 2014.
After you have been on campus for a few weeks, you will receive an email asking you to complete Part 2 of the course. This section will take about 15 minutes. You must complete this section by October 20, 2014.
All responses are confidential; Texas Tech University staff will never see individual students' answers. You can feel confident that providing truthful answers – no matter what they are – will not put you at risk in any way.
To take AlcoholEdu®, you will need a computer with Internet access and audio capabilities. Please look for further information regarding login instructions beginning July 2014.

Google's Energy Czar: Efficiency is a No Brainer
Most energy efficiency effort, Google's Energy Czar William Weihl said during Climate One at The Commonwealth Club, is a no brainer. However, with institutional barriers such as multiple departments working with different budgets, the overall cost of ownership causes many to push the efficiency issue to another person. With companies looking at the overall picture versus immediate departments, companies may ultimately save a lot more money by spending more initially. Rob Bernard, Chief Environmental Strategist at Microsoft, believes the problem is governance and behavior versus technology.

Home Kent Business County News Article
County business chiefs have welcomed a call by MPs for fundamental reforms to business rates but warn a new system would face serious practical challenges.
MPs on the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee say in a report the property tax is no longer fit for purpose and have called for a "wholesale review".
The MPs say fundamental reforms are needed to help retailers and boost local economies.
Their views chime with many business leaders, such as the former Tesco boss Sir Terry Leahy.
He described it as an "ancient tax" that "has not worked for years".
Business rates are currently charged to retailers based on the value of their shop or other commercial property.
In its report, the MPs said suggest an examination of whether retail taxes should instead be based on the value of sales. This could potentially lower rates for smaller shops.
The report also suggests there could be a different system of rates for the retail sector.
Roger House, chairman of the Kent and Medway Federation of Small Businesses, says the existing system was flawed.
He said: "I have had personal experience of this - I had to shut a business because of the anomalies.
"The problem is that we have a system not based on company profitability or the ability to pay.
"It is a completely idiosyncratic approach to the whole thing. But how you work out an alternative I do not know.
"The government has to find a simple formula which is proportionate to the size of the business.
"There is some sense [in the MPs report] and it seems the government is listening."
Committee chairman Adrian Bailey MP said: "Among the many challenges they face, business rates are the single biggest threat to the survival of retail businesses on the High Street.
"Since the system was created the retail environment has changed beyond all recognition.
"A system of business taxation based on physical property is simply no longer appropriate in an increasingly online retail world."

56 Tasting Notes
Not worth the price, in my opinion. A bit too yeasty and not enough fruit or complexity for my taste--a bit one-dimensional.
Crisp clean, light body, apple and pear seem to dominate. Just learning about champagne, and this style seems to be in contrast to the heavier nutty yeasty style that so many people love. Apologies for the lack of descriptors ,still learning how to describe champagne. In short loved this champagne and will seek out this producer.
As fresh as the day it was bottled, I'm sure.
Exceptional Champagne acquired in Dec 2011 and definitely improving on the cork as Gimonnet and Vilmart do the most of the great NV grower Champagnes. Clean, chalky, mineral, creamy and oh so delicious with just a hint of berries making you swear their was Meunier in it even though it is all Chardonnay. None of that toasty, yeasty taste that some tasters prefer. Not me, which is why along with Hebrart, Gimonnet is on e of my favourite producers.
Medium yellow colour. Nose with citrus including some zest, a hint of green notes with grass and herbs, mineral notes with a bit of smoke and chalk dust, and some vanilla. Discretely developed, but mostly young. Dry on the palate with citrus, green apple, mineral and high acidity. Very much a blanc de blancs, in the firm and somewhat lean style. Still young, 88-89 p.
Bottle purchased May 2011 directly at the producer, and if memory serves me, those 3.5 years hasn't changed it much.

'Supernatural: The Anime Series' Blu-ray and DVD Hits on July 26th
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles return to voice Sam and Deal Winchester in this Japanese anime version of the hit CW series.
The animeanime.jp website reports that the anime will be a 22-episode season that will cover the storyline of the live-action version's first two seasons. The first volume will ship on January 12 with the first two episodes. On February 2, the "Box 1" set will ship with episodes 3 to 12. On April 6, the "Box 2" set will ship with episodes 13 to 22. (There will be a different release schedule for the rental version of the project.) The anime project will not only remake the best episodes from the live-action version, but also depict original episodes not seen in the live-action version. Those original episodes will include prologues of the Winchester brothers' childhood, anime-only enemies, and episodes featuring secondary characters from the live-action version. Supernatural creator Eric Kripke is credited as the anime project's creator, and MADHOUSE co-founder Masao Maruyama is serving as executive producer. Naoya Takayama (Night Head, Liar Game) is supervising the series' scripts, and Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Trigun) is designing the characters. Yuya Uchida (Soul Eater's Dr. Franken Stein, Naruto Shippūden's Rinji) will dub the role of Sam, while Hiroki Touchi (Trinity Blood's Abel Nightroad, Bokurano's Kokkpelli) will dub the role of Dean. Both actors dubbed these same roles for the live-action version in Japanese.

A bench outfielder like Heisey, who is supposed to provide offense (not a backup shortstop), generally should not be 13 points below league average OBP for non-pitchers. So IMO the hypothetical .310 would not be adequate for Heisey, unless coupled with superb power hitting stats (always possible). He does provide good defense, but IMO if he doesn't hit he is a fifth outfielder, particularly on the Reds with OF questions.
But this is all theoretical. Because in fact Heisey did not hit .310 OBP last year. He had a .279 OBP and a 3.7 percent walk rate last year. If he does .310 or better next season (hopefully) we can resume the discussion about that number.
(Side note, of interest, when comparing only non-pitchers' hitting stats in both leagues, the AL has a .406-.401 edge in slugging, but the NL has a slight lead in OBP (2013)).

The Gurbantonggut Desert, China, is an ideal site for study of sublimation from the snowpack because there are sparse vegetation and simple topography, and the wind speed is not large enough to blow snow into the atmosphere from the snowpack. Daily sublimation was measured by manual snow lysimeters at 8:00, and an automatic weather station was deployed at the top of a stout longitudinal dune chain at the southeastern edge of the desert. It is shown that on a daily scale, there was an extremely significant no-intercept linear relationship between the measured sublimation and that calculated by the bulk aerodynamic method, although the former was only 83.8% of the latter. It is also demonstrated that −10°C and 2 m/s were the thresholds where the sublimation varied with the air temperature and the wind speed. When these two thresholds were exceeded, the sublimation accelerated. However, the air temperature and the wind speed at 2 m above the ground averaged −17.2°C and 1.3 m/s, respectively, and the percentages of the time when the air temperature was below −10 °C and the wind speed was below 2 m/s were 76.9% and 85.1%, respectively. As a result, the rate of sublimation was quite low most of the time, and the thin snowpack remained in a quasi-static state until the melt stage started. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

While we all tried to beat the heat over the weekend, the heat has been causing some problems, from a couple fires to heat exhaustion to safety issues with people in the water trying to stay cool. We thought we hadn't been this dry since 1910 but it's actually longer then that.
There are plenty of people who are singing the praises of the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage. And we mean literally singing.
Both Missoula and Kalispell set new record high temperatures over the weekend, with highs in the low 100's.
It was crazy to see how many people were bobbing up and down in the Bitterroot River this afternoon. The entire stretch from Hamilton to Stevensville was littered with people. Everyone partially submerged in water
Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire have been longtime buddies long before they appeared together in "The Great Gatsby", and earlier this Sunday afternoon they were rumored to have made a low-profile appearance at the annual MADE fair in downtown Missoula.

When Universal scheduled Ted 2, they surely had no idea that Seth MacFarlane's swearing teddy bear sequel would be squaring off against one of the biggest box office juggernauts of all time...a juggernaut that they themselves had created. So it's not surprising that Jurassic World topped the box office again and it's not surprising that Pixar's Inside Out held onto second place. What is a little surprising is how low Ted 2 opened, falling significantly short of its predecessor's opening weekend.
