Three-time defending Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Lance Mackey and his chief rival, Jeff King, played a mushing version of catch-me-if-you-can up the Norton Sound coastline Sunday with a huge prize awaiting the winner.
For Mackey, victory would be an Iditarod-record fourth straight.
For King, victory would allow the 54-year-old to join Rick Swenson as race's winningest musher with five titles and extend his own record as the oldest champion.
An hour separated them Sunday night.
As the sun set, Mackey headed out of Shaktoolik for a 50-mile nighttime run across the sea ice of Norton Bay to the next checkpoint, at Koyuk. King left Shaktoolik exactly an hour later, at 8 p.m. Two others, Hans Gatt and Hugh Neff, had arrived in Shaktoolik but hadn't yet left as of 9 p.m.
A race that King seemed to control near the halfway point, blew apart for the Denali Park musher on Saturday when Mackey raced past a resting King in Kaltag, not taking an extended break until he reached Unalakleet, the biggest town on the trail since the Willow start.
"Not only was I blowing through (Kaltag), I wasn't going to stop until I got here," Mackey said as he arrived in Unalakleet around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. "If I've got (King) flustered a little bit, it's going to take away from his performance -- I hope. If I got in his head, it was just to irritate him a little bit.
"And Jeff's not the kind of person you irritate. It only makes him stronger."
But Mackey's three-hour advantage was cut to less than an hour when King cut his rest at Unalakleet, leaving just 28 minutes behind the Fairbanks musher.
"All I got to do is cut my rest and if my dogs can do it, I have the fastest team," King said.
But Mackey told reporters he'd noticed King's speed waning, and even though King rested about four hours farther back in Kaltag, he made the 90-mile run to Unalakleet only a minute faster than Mackey.
"It was a really crummy trail," he said. "All the way to Tripod (a resting spot) was very punchy, soft trail. I'm really glad I went over it with a team that had four hours rest rather than one that had just run four hours."
King said he felt as good as he ever has in the Iditarod, and was glad the race was coming down to another duel against Mackey, just like two years ago.
"There's not too many guys I'd rather be racing against."
King said he wasn't surprised Mackey blasted through Kaltag -- only that he could convince his dogs to keep moving to Unalakleet.
"I'm still really glad my dogs ate in Kaltag and I was able to use the water and facilities. I know my dogs ate more across there than Lance's did," King said, eating a pastry at a checkpoint cafeteria table as Mackey rested.
"But ... he really knows how to feed them. He knows what they can do. If they didn't need to be fed or could get away without it, then great. But if they didn't, I mean, mine couldn't have and if the same is true of his, they might have lost something there. I can only hope."
Two factors were shaping up as crucial as the Iditarod enters its home stretch.
• Did Mackey run the speed out of his team too early?
• Will weather play a role?
Mackey arrived in Unalakleet just after 3:30 a.m. A throng of fans, media and volunteers -- gloved hands at their sides, shuffling and watching the horizon in their hoods and parkas like a flock of penguins -- cheered his arrival.
The checkpoint is a spartan, warehouse-like building filled with cafeteria tables, volunteers and little else. Mackey sat on a folding chair and peeled away his socks, holding his right foot in his hand.
"I'm beat up," he said. "I have been. I've been hiding it well though. But I'm getting wimpier. ... I'm glad it's about over."
Mackey lavished praise on his dozen dogs.
"I'm ecstatic with them," he said. "I've got quite a few 2-year-olds in there that are really shining.
"They're eating good, everybody's pulling. I have no split feet, no shoulders (that are sore), no nothing. I've got 12 solid dogs."
Praise from their boss is fine, but that won't lessen the dogs' load over the final 220 miles of mushing. Expect Mackey to continue the style of long runs and short stops that have helped him dominate the race.
"I'm not setting any kind of blistering speed going down the trail. The only reason I'm here as fast as I am is I haven't been stopping much.
"(His dogs) have been known to do long runs with minimal rest, so it shouldn't be any huge surprise to anybody," Mackey said in Unalakleet after making a 130-mile march from Nulato to Kaltag to Unalakleet without a long stop.
"It's not normal, it's definitely not normal. It might be getting normal for me to do oddball stuff, but it's not normal."
There is some point, however, where a musher simply asks his dogs for too much work and affords too little rest. Plenty of Iditarod dogs, including some pulling championship mushers, have decided enough is enough and sat down, unwilling to proceed. That's never happened to Mackey during an Iditarod.
But he recognizes it may take a ploy to prevail this year.
"I don't honestly think that my team is the strongest in it, so I've got to think a little bit different and try and throw (King) off his game plan," Mackey said.
As far as weather, mushers should expect more of the same -- with nighttime lows dipping to minus 20. More ominous, the National Weather Service warns of winds reaching 20 mph in some spots along eastern Norton Sound, driving the wind chill to minus 35.
Those winds will "be hitting the mushers right on the nose," according to Iditarod commentator and former musher Bruce Lee.
"This is where they cross the sea ice," he said of the 50-mile run from Shaktoolik to Koyuk. "It's a big wide-open country out there. Not a lot to look at and gauge speed."

Vacation Rental Summary
This house was wonderful. The view from the deck was fabulous. There are a lot of steps to get back and forth from town but completely worth the treck to stay at this charming and large house. Would most definitely stay there again!!!
There were 10 of us that came and went, the main core was my son, Daughter -in-law and my daughter and son-in law, My husband came for just a two day stay. The grand kids came and stayed for a day or two at different times, they are 21 to 29, Everybody loved the house but it did have its problems, The stairs were one of the major problems ,Usually we go to down at least three or four times not this time we felt kind of house bound, and to take a cab was aprox $17.00 and at 79 years old the stairs felt like a heart test, the bedroom with no windows to the outside was useless very musty and dark and had a smell to it no one wanted to stay in there but all things considered I would stay there again, They do need to purchase a golf cart, We would not mind another couple of a hundred dollars a week for the use of one.The service frome the rental agency was good, the people renting it befor us had taken the remote for the T.V and they brought us up a new one and programed the t.V for it. All in all we loved the place but it did have its warts.
We have stayed in this vacation home many times for two reasons: 1 - the view from the wrap around deck is unbeatable. Truly stunning! 2 - it is one of the FEW rentals in Avalon that accommodates a group of 10. It's a good ole beach house. We've been here with kids, cousins, parents and there are lots of areas to spread out and have a good time without being on top of each other. The wide deck has lots lounge chairs, a large outdoor table with an umbrella and a corner flagpole. Inside: There's a nice big dinner table placed to make the most of the view. Cozy living room with an eclectic assortment of leather ouch, lounge chairs and rocking chair. The kitchen has been remodeled and has lovely cherry (?) wood and marble counters. There's a convenient clothes line out kitchen door for wet swim suits and beach towels. Also, an easy-access twin bed room on the street/living room/kitchen level. The rest of the house (the other 4 bedrooms) are down steep stairs either one level (the 2 queen rooms and the cavelike bunkbed room) or two levels (the master king bed and washer/dryer.) This house as a whole is best for a physically FIT family as it is quite a mountain goat's climb from beach level, up through the park and up the 129 steps of the "dragon stairs" as the locals call them. Certainly doable and well worth the view--but literally NOT for the faint of heart. (The mini hike inside the house--up three flights from the master bedroom to the main level got my heart pumping every time. I considered it my daily aerobics. ha-ha!) I'm giving this basically charming house 4 stars vs. 5 because the spectacular view and new kitchen pluses are tempered by the dingy old carpeting, the dark pink "cavelike" bunkbed room and the generally well-worn feeling of the bedding and furniture; not at all unusual for high traffic rentals. We certainly have ENJOYED our multiple stays here. I just want to be honest about the accommodations for fellow tripadvisor folk. There are cards and games in the cupboards. We stayed up late watching the lights of the harbor and listening to the sounds of the tourists walking the streets of Avalon. Quite a wonderful vacation feeling to be found here. Come for the room(s) with a view, and be prepared for the healthy hike.

"Given that inflation remains stubbornly high, then the Fed is going to be less accommodative going forward so we may end up a period of sluggish growth in stubbornly higher inflation," he said, referring to possible interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Minutes released this week from the last meeting of the central bank's rate-setting arm doused some investors' hopes that policymakers will again cut rates to aid the economy when they meet at the end of June.
Orndorff predicts investors will need further evidence of how the economy is faring before they resume taking stocks back toward the highs seen last fall.
"I think the market for the most part is going to be in a somewhat narrow trading range until you get the earnings that come out in July. I think that's going to be an important quarter as people see how the effects of the global economy slowing are affecting the companies."
A Financial Times report that brewing company InBev is readying a $46 billion takeover bid for Budweiser maker Anheuser-Busch failed to shake Wall Street from its downcast mood. Often, buyout activity is fodder for a rally in stocks as it as seen as a bullish sign for the economy. But the buying appeared limited to the St. Louis brewer, whose shares hit an all-time high. Anheuser-Busch rose jumped $4.03, or 7.7%, to $56.61.
American Axle and Manufacturing Holdings fell 81 cents, or 4.2%, to $18.44 after the company said that workers approved a new contract including pay cuts and other concessions. The vote ends a strike that lasted nearly three months, hurting General Motors' production of large sport-utility vehicles and pickups. Although the contract's ratification will benefit GM, auto stocks have been under pressure this week because of soaring fuel prices. GM was the steepest decliner among the 30 stocks that comprise the Dow industrials, falling 83 cents, or 4.5%, to $17.60.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers by about 7 to 3 on the New York Stock Exchange, where volume came to 1.11 billion shares compared with 1.21 billion shares traded Thursday.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 8.91, or 1.22%, to 724.10.
In overseas trade, Tokyo's Nikkei closed rose 0.24%. In Europe, London's FTSE ended down 1.53%, Frankfurt's DAX fell 1.79% and Paris' CAC 40 shed 1.89%.

Stellar Headboard!!
Skott from West Chester, OH – Verified Buyer
I spent several days looking for a headboard and this was the best one I came across and at a great price. It looked rather overwhelming in the box since it was a king size but was relatively easy to install. It looks great and really matches the room. I received the grey linen and I feel the color is pretty close to the online picture. It also appears to be pretty well made. Make sure it is going on a wall since the back is a black mesh material and not the fabric on the rest. I got from some other reviews that it sits up high which was fine for me because my bed is high. Make sure if you have a low bed that you are ok with a space between the bed and headboard. I have already received numerous compliments on it. The one interesting thing is the ship time. It showed the item in stock but the expected delivery date was 6 weeks out. The in stock means the fabric is in stock but the headboard still has to be made by the manufacturer. That is why the ship date is so far out. I actually ended up getting the headboard in 2 weeks. I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do.
Transforms a Bedroom!
Jaclynn from NJ – Verified Buyer
I bought this headboard in grey and it is absolutely stunning against my rich, purple wall. From the quality of the linen, to the tufting, to the individual nailhead detailing, I can't say enough good things about it. While I was able to assemble it myself without much trouble, it would be easier/speedier to have two people. It arrived much sooner than anticipated (which was great), and was packaged very well. Just to clear up a couple of points I saw when reading reviews before buying, it attaches to your existing bed frame and the grey is in NO WAY shiny or metallic, the way it appears in the picture. The only thing that could make it better would be if it came with matching linen side rails.
Hey You!!
D from New Smyrna Beach, FL – Verified Buyer
Ok, so you're reading this because you were a lot like me-not sure, should I, shouldn't I, is it really that color, how largesmall is it, oh, and how about quality if I can ease your mind at all-YES,BUY THIS!! I have spent many hoursdays looking for an elegant , well built headboard. this is it! order the fabric samples because the colors are different than the web photo(dah)! I purchased the king size navy linen. It arrived in 2 weeks. beautiful fabric, easy to put together and looks awesome.
Stunning Statement Piece!
Anita from Windsor, ON – Verified Buyer
I had been searching for an upholstered headboard for quite sometime before stumbling across the Wayfair site. This headboard had absolutely everything I had been looking for: structure, quality and a classic piece that would pull the whole room together. We bought the headboard in the navy blue and the nail button trim pops perfectly to give it a finished look. We've changed our bedding a few times since we bought the headboard and with every look I am more and more impressed with how versatile the piece is. Looks great with our pintucked print comforter, fantastic with our tailored crisp white linens, and equally and fabulous with a simple grey blanket and throw. Shipping was quick, incredibly satisfied with the entire shopping process start to finish.
A Classic Modern Headboard - Made in the USA!
MN Boulevard from Minneapolis, MN USA – Verified Buyer
Buying furniture online was a definite concern for me so I decided to contact the vendor to see if they would send me fabric samples and boy am I glad I did. Neither the black linen nor the grey linen looks anything like the picture. I was almost set on the black linen because it looked almost like a dark grey in the pictures. Well I can assure you that it is not dark grey but in fact black. In addition, in the picture, the grey looks almost metallic/silver. In person, the grey is not metallic/silver at all. More of a light grey color with a linen texture to it. If you are seriously considering this purchased, I highly advise you to order a fabric sample to make sure there are no surprises. Once I received the grey linen fabric, I really liked the color and texture of the fabric so I decided to take the risk and order. Well I am glad I took the risk. At first inspection, the headboard seems to be of decent quality. It has an internal wood frame, which feels solid. Please note that the linen fabric covers only the front and sides of the headboard. The back is lined in a different fabric (so this be must be placed against a wall). The tufting is perfectly lined and the pewter nails or individual nails (not strips like those that others had mentioned). Please keep in mind that this product is just the headboard. You will still need to have the frame that connects to the bed. It is also important to note that this headboard may look a little odd if you are using a platform type bed, as you will have a gap between the mattress and where the bottom portion of the headboard starts. The headboard itself came in a cardboard box and in my opinion, I would have liked to of seen better protective wrapping. There however was no damage to the product during delivery. Overall, I could not be happier with this headboard. It is priced competitively and looks far more expensive than it was. I am also happy to know that it was made in the USA.
This headboard is gorgeous!!
Andrea from Austin, TX – Verified Buyer
I have been eyeing this headboard for months. I feel like I read hundreds of reviews, talking myself in and out of ordering it. Well, I had a 10% off coupon and decided it was worth a try! I ordered this in the King Gray and it arrived in 2 days, perfectly packaged and I was THRILLED when I opened it! It was exactly what I was looking for. My nail heads are 100% real, I know other reviewers said they came in strips, my are all individually hammered in there. Now the gray, this us why I was so hesitant to order. Grays are hard, they can come off looking green/ble/lavender. To me, this is a true gray. My bedroom is white and gray and it matches everything beautifully. We don't have any gap like others have mentioned, the measurements are on the product description if you are concerned. I think this is only a problem if you have a very thin mattress. This is a beautiful piece for a great price! You won't regret the purchase!
Nice but wanting.
Joe from Oklahoma City, OK – Verified Buyer
The headboard is very easy to put together. I was able to do it by myself if about 30 min. Some people may find it helpful to have an extra hand, but it is pretty straight forward. The fabric is very good quality and is very attractive. The nail heads are individually placed and add very nice detail. The color of the fabric was a disappointment. I ordered (and paid extra for) the charcoal color. To me it just looks black. It is possible if you put the black and charcoal side by side there would be a difference but I would guess it is subtle. The color is much darker then the pictures provided by Wayfair and Skyline. There is a gap along the sides and top of the mattress that shows the wall behind the headboard. I have a standard height box spring and I can see a gap on either of the inside sides of the headboard and along the top running the width of the mattress. This is mostly covered up by pillows and isn't a huge distraction. However, if you had a low profile box spring this headboard would look absolutely ridiculous. This is not indicated by Wayfair or Skyline in the pictures or the descriptions. The headboard is not very stable. The wall behind does help stabilize the headboard but it is very wobbly and wouldn't tolerate a lot of force or movement. This is probably to be expected from a tall headboard that only attaches to the bed frame at the very bottom. The headboard is an attractive piece and pops in the room. It does come with its flaws that I have noted above. My biggest disappointment is the color not matching the given pictures. I would probably trade it out for the cheaper light gray or black if it wouldn't be a tremendous pain to package it back up and send back.
Love It! Perfect!
Lisa from Naples, FL – Verified Buyer
It was just what I was looking for. Lighter gray than shown in the photo and not as tufted as shown either. Great quality upholstery and nice nailhead trim. I love how tall and prominent it looks in my room Very elegant. There is a gap between the mattress and bottom of headboard but pillows hide it. Not super sturdy so I had to push it snug up against the wall. Overall I was very pleased. Delivered within promised time.
Fast shipping, great quality and easy to put together
Michelle from Las Vegas, NV – Verified Buyer
I of course read all the reviews on this product before I bought. This was my first purchase from wayfair and I didn't know what to expect. I ordered it and was warned at check out it may take longer than the standard 2-day shipping. I was ok with it because the headboard was a great price. So 2 days after ordering (not expecting it to arrive for at least a week), the headboard arrived at my front door. It was wrapped and protected really well and the assembly was easy (recommend two people for king size assembly). The color grey looks exactly like it does in the picture and it goes with almost any color. I love the headboard and can't wait to order more :-)
looks great
Rhonda from Lake Saint Louis, MO – Verified Buyer
I ordered this headboard for a bedroom I was redecorating. I wanted to get the room painted before the headboard arrived. The staff at Wayfair was very helpful and sent out a swatch which turned out to be a perfect match. I had the room painted and was ready to go when it arrived. It even arrived a few days early. The headboard looks great. It was a little difficult to put together since we have a platform style sleep number bed but we were able to make it work. I wish it had hardware to attach to the wall(for those who don't have a traditional bedframe). That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. This was my first purchase from Wayfair and I will definately shop here again. I would recommend this headboard to anyone who wants to add a little glamour to a room.

As promised, here's a clear shot of Flourish lipstick! Flourish is the red lipstick, and pink lipstick is All Mine. Both of these are from MAC's Monogram collection and retail for $22.

Very exciting times at the Reading, Writing and Rhyming Tour. Thanks to a great long time sponsor, Hannaford Supermarkets, one lucky school is going to win a $200 gift card that they can use in any way they please. (But I can't tell you how, cuz it's a secret)
Another first, ladies and gentlemen. Through the use of magic teleconferencing technology at NERIC (Northeastern Regional Information Center) in Albany, I was able to pull this off. This was a blast to try out. You can see the results below.
Ahhhhhhh! A dream realized. I got a chance to return to a school that brought back so many amazing memories for me personally- Schoharie Elementary School.
Her name is Faith Perry. She is an alternative education teacher at Mohonasen school. If this story doesn't make you think twice about dissing today's teachers, nothing will.
Chalk up another fun and rewarding experience - this time working with students in Mrs. Bushey's class at Shaker Road Elementary School in Colonie. Some extremely talented jingle writers were on hand, so I put them to work immediately to write a Countryfest song!
I met a group of fantastic kids who wouldn't even THINK of bullying another. That's a relief, because there is so much of it going around these days. I asked if they wanted to write a quick "Don't Be A Bully" jingle, and they were "all about it". Welcome to another stop on the Reading, Writing, and Rhyming Tour
Now THIS is a great school. Actually, they're ALL great schools to be honest. The Albany Area is chock full of them. I should know, I've probably visited all of them at least once.
Congratulations to a very deserving Richie Phillips for being honored with the 2013 Friend of the Academy for Character Education Award for his leadership in "furthering the character education initiative in the Capital Region!"
What a group! What a school! (I get yelled at with these articles for using the exclamation point too many times, but I don't care. What a FANTASTIC experience going to Molly Stark Elementary School in Bennington!!!!!!!!!! (So there!!!!!!!)
Mrs Brooks - what a great teacher. I always enjoy barging in on her classroom with keyboard in hand. This year was no exception. These kids came ready to sing! Ladies and Gentlemen -presenting the second graders from Charlton Heights Elementary School!
I'm leaving for vacation, but I'm doing it with a smile on my face. I can thank the incredible teachers and kids at Slingerlands Elementary for that. Take a listen to this great parody of "Call Me Maybe".

Originally written on NFL Trade Rumors | Last updated 12/30/12
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that sources have informed him that the Jacksonville Jaguars will indeed fire GM Gene Smith next week. Schefter specifically mentions that Cardinals' Jason Licht and 49ers' Tom Gamble could both be candidates to replace Smith as general manager. Gamble has been somewhat of a hot commodity in recent days. There have been a number of rumors connecting him to potential vacancies, so it will be interesting to see if Shad Khan is able to bring him in given the level of interest in his services.

In all, the researchers used samples from 50 to 100 trees at each of 53 different sites throughout southwestern North America. The team's climate analyses focused on NAM2, which covers most of Arizona, western New Mexico and northern parts of the Mexican states of Sonora and Chihuahua.
Griffin said, "It was a massive undertaking -- we employed about 15 undergraduates over a four-year period to measure almost 1 million tree rings."
The results surprised him because rain gauge records for the Southwest from 1950-2000 show dry seasons alternated with wet ones.
However, the team's new multi-century record going back to 1539 shows that the wet/dry pattern of the latter part of the 20th century is not the norm either prior to the 20th century or now, he said.
One possible next step, Woodhouse said, is to expand the current project to other areas of the Southwest and into Mexico, where the monsoon has a bigger influence on annual precipitation.
Another would be using tree-ring reconstructions of the Southwest's fire histories to see how wildfires are related to summer precipitation.
Griffin said, "Before I moved to the Southwest, I didn't realize how critically important the summer rains are to the ecosystems here. The summer monsoon rains have allowed humans to survive in the Southwest for at least 4,000 years."

Farmer Jaffe Weissing Obtains Final Approval of Class Action Case Against Continental Casualty Company ("CNA")
Fort Lauderdale – Farmer, Jaffe, Weissing, Edwards, Fistos & Lehrman, P.L.'s class action case against Continental Casualty Company ("CNA") received final approval today by Judge William J. Zloch. The settlement of the case received preliminary approval from Federal Judge Zloch in June 2012.
The case involved the allegedly systematic denial of long-term care insurance claims. CNA took the position that Florida-licensed nurse registries weren't covered providers under their insurance policies. Under the approved settlement, CNA is to pay 100% of the claims that were previously denied, and in addition, CNA has agreed nurse registries may be covered providers under their policies.
Farmer Jaffe Weissing partner Mark Fistos commented "We have a strong commitment to bringing cases like these, on behalf of elderly Floridians."

- Studio: Music Box Films
- Release Date: Apr 5, 2013
- Starring: Alain Goulem, Dylan Smith, Georgina Reilly, Paul Braunstein, Stephen McHattie, Thure Lindhardt
- Summary: A once-famous painter gets re-energized when he befriends a sleepwalking cannibal.
- Director: Boris Rodriguez
- Genre(s): Horror, Comedy
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 5 out of 10
Mixed: 4 out of 10
Negative: 1 out of 10
The movie's title might sound like a splatter-fest by Rob Zombie. But despite the theme, "Eddie" goes easy on gratuitous gore. What we get is a cerebral horror movie and a satire of the art world.
Beneath the surface outrageousness lies a surprisingly, satisfyingly dark little fable about the essentially cannibalistic nature of artistic inspiration.
While secret handshakes are amusingly depicted as the key to building trust and friendship, it's Stephen McHattie's greedy agent...that truly hammers home the film's depiction of the art world as fueled by rapacious, kill-or-be-killed bloodlust.
This witty first feature is a flawed but diverting meditation on finding inspiration while losing your soul.
It winds up as little more than a mildly fun spatter picture that will be best enjoyed by undemanding patrons at midnight screenings.
Apr 3, 2013Because the film clearly aims for satire, Boris Rodriguez isn't entirely guilty of indulging gruesome spectacle for its own sake.
Apr 7, 2013The holes in the plot, not in Eddie's diet, are the real joke.

PHOTOS: Amazing pictures of waterspouts and other severe weather events!
Dade City, Florida-- One man is behind bars and another is in the hospital after an argument stemmed from an armed burglary on Sunday night, and turned violent Monday morning.
According to Dade City Police, 23-year-old Anthony Staten and 20-year-old Jeffrey Gonzalez II were both armed with baseball bats and clubs when the brawl broke out in the Embassy Park Apartment complex around 11 a.m.
Police say Staten committed an armed burglary there the night before, and that the incident somehow "involved Gonzalez."
The fight reportedly escalated even further when Staten pulled out a gun and shot Gonzalez- who saw the gun and was trying to grab it from him.
Gonzalez was flown to Lakeland Regional Hospital, where reports say he is now recovering from gunshot wounds to his hand and leg.
Staten was also treated at a hospital, but was released and is now being charged with armed burglary from last night's incident. Police say additional charges are pending as they continue to investigate.

Ryan gave some excellent advice!
To that I would add check around for local gay groups who like to travel - there are many of them. Not only get to meet some wonderful people, but also get to meet people who have common interests in activities. For example, I have a great group of gays who cruise every year. Their preference is Carnival as it meets their needs and this year they're going on the Victory doing a Southern Caribbean cruise in January. Next year they're discussing doing either an Alaskan cruise or a Canada/New England cruise.
It's fun traveling by yourself, but it's more expensive. It's so much more fun traveling with family or friends as well as being cheaper. So keep looking and I'm sure you'll find someone or some group that you'll be comfortable traveling with. But as Ryan said, if you do go by yourself, you'll find cruising a great way to travel and provides an excellent opportunity to meet new friends.

Looking for friendship, laughter, and fun
Until recently I've put a lot of emphasis on work over everything else, trying to change that now. I've only been in the area for a few years, so I still enjoy exploring and trying new things. The random adventure or day trip is definitely a favorite activity of mine. Former career provided a lot of travel, so it's nice exploring one area for a bit and putting down some roots. I'm pretty laid back, but definitely not quiet by any means. I'm open minded when it comes to trying new things, especially with food, travel, music, etc. I'm just looking to meet someone who is fun, laid back, likes to laugh, enjoys a random adventure, and maybe also hasn't had time to meet people due to a busy work schedule. I like having good conversations and getting to know people; whether it's over coffee or a drink, a walk on the beach, or during a run. Different styles are a good thing, means we'll both get to experience something new. I like to stay physically active (I enjoy running and tennis), grab dinner/drinks with friends, cook up something new in the kitchen, and be involved in the community. I adopted a puppy a few months back, so playing with him is a new interest of mine.

I definitely enjoy being on the go. Exercising, taking the dog for a long walk, catching a movie, going for an early morning jog on the beach, take a day trip, or going out after work with friends; I like being active.

Should I even bother?
This is a question for all you professional concept artists. I live in Canada,and lets pretend that I'm actually a decent artist...anyways,I was wondering how hard it would it be to get work outside Canada(relocating) ,like in the States,Europe,Asia,etc...? I really like travelling and experiencing other cultures.
Are work visa's difficult to come by? I heard somewhere that they were. Provided that I have a good portfolio,should I even bother applying outside my country?
If you could give me some advice,I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,

Do it!
My advice is this -
The employer pays relocation and rerelocation (back home), apartment rent whilst you are there (at least for the trial period if there is one), the interview travel fares and hotel costs (don't forget cab fair to and fro the airport).
The I also require that the employer takes cares of all legal work and residence visas. I they really want me and are serious about they are doing then this is no hassel for them, they have done it before.
Then again your portfolio has to be kick ass and your experience and professionalism very high.
I know lots of people who work in the animation and games business that travel the world, following the productions. A year here and year there. Sometimes 3 years in one place.
It depends on what kind of life style you want.
I ask myself, if I can do it from home why move? Can I work with them long distance with a fast broadband? Will they accept that. I have worked this way between Norway, LA, Belgum and Sweden and it worked fine. The only problem was the time difference (if you wanna see that as a problem).

Just a genuine guy looking for a real,...
Just a genuine guy looking for a real, down-to-earth woman in/near the big city. I was born and raised here in South Florida, but am discovering its new wonders every day. The most important thing in the world to me is my ever supportive family. I would love to travel and explore new cities, states, countries, or continents with someone. I have a wonderful job that I enjoy that allows me the ability to truly live and love life. In addition, I get to experience the rewarding feelings associated with helping students conquer some of the issues they have with math and science through the tutoring that I do. I will always take quality over quantity in life, especially regarding friends and relationships. My ideal person would be witty, athletic, honest/loyal, and an open communicator. Confidence, openness, and the ability to fit in a casual or formal environment is ideal. It would be incredible if she were more outgoing than me and could "drag me" out of my rather soft shell from time to time.

Golly. Someone want to tell the Reds this game counts.

0-0 3rd innings Cards and Brewers....we are all Brewers fans tonight..
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
After Sunday night, I thought the Reds were poised to win the division with the next nine games being against three of the worst teams in baseball. Instead, the Reds are facing two consecutive losses to begin this stretch.
Assuming a loss tonight, it's probably going to require at least a 11-5 finish to win the division. Probably 12-4.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Reds have yet to score at home against the Cubs coming off a sweep of the Dodgers , the Pirates have yet to allow a run at the Rangers coming off a thrashing against the Cardinals.
Baseball don't make no sense.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
OnBaseMachine (09-10-2013)
Get him outta there. He doesn't want to play.
Complete crap.
I definitely think a 12-4 finish to the season is doable. 8-2 vs Cubs/Brewers/Astros/Mets. 4-2 vs Pirates. They have to play better than they have the first two games of this series though.
I miss Adam Dunn.
Checking in from work. Ugh.
Go 6-1 against StL and LA then get knocked around by The Cubs? Sounds about right.
The injury bug has not been nice to us this year.
Two on, no outs for Choo. Need at least two here to make this a game.
I miss Adam Dunn.

O's lefty Zach Britton shuts down Rangers, moves to 2-0
Apr 10, 2011, 8:54 AM EDT
Early season injuries to Justin Duchscherer and Brian Matusz have caused the Orioles only a minor headache. Why? Because young left-hander Zach Britton probably wouldn't have opened the year in the major leagues otherwise.
Britton, 23, spun another gem on Saturday night in the second half of a doubleheader against the hot-hitting Rangers, tossing 7.2 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits. He struck out two, induced 15 groundballs, and moved to 2-0 on the young season.
Britton fanned six batters in his first start last week against the Rays, surrendering only three hits and just one earned run over six frames. His ERA now sits at 0.66 and his WHIP is a cool 0.95.
Baseball America ranked Britton as the game's 28th most promising prospect this winter after he posted a 2.70 ERA and 124 strikeouts in 153.1 innings last season between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk.
With good velocity on his fastball and a sharp slider-changeup arsenal, Britton has the appearance of a pitcher who should now be in the big leagues for good. He'll face the Yankees this Thursday at Yankee Stadium.
UPDATE: Not wanting to expose Britton to Yankee Stadium just yet, the Orioles have pushed the lefty's next start back one day. He'll start at Camden Yards against the Indians on Friday.
- gt929 - Apr 10, 2011 at 10:08 AM
I watched most of that game and Britton was brilliant. I think it's great that Baltimore and Toronto are looking to be really competitive in the AL East this year. But, I'd like to see a follow-up story "Matt Harrison shuts down Orioles, moves to 2-0," cuz I'm feeling that east coast bias paranoia creeping in!
- joeflaccosunibrow - Apr 10, 2011 at 1:40 PM
It was actually the first game of the double header. It makes it more impressive because it was not against players who were tired from the first game.
The Orioles need to worry because after Britton, there is no starting pitcher depth in their minors.
- gt929 - Apr 10, 2011 at 2:32 PM
Not sure if that 'not tired' theory holds water since the Rangers scored 13 in the second game, but it was still very impressive.

Offensive Player of the Midseason
Brian Brohm, RB Louisville
Defensive Player of the Midseason
George Selvie, DE South Florida
Ten best Big East players in the first half of the season
1. George Selvie, DE South Florida
2. Brian Brohm, QB Louisville
3. Patrick White, QB West Virginia
4. Ray Rice, RB Rutgers
5. Steve Slaton, RB West Virginia
6. Harry Douglas, WR Louisville
7. Ben Moffitt, LB South Florida
8. Ben Mauk, QB Cincinnati
9. LeSean McCoy, RB Pittsburgh
10. Mike Mickens, CB Cincinnati
Biggest Surprise – South Florida
Feel free to put Cincinnati in this slot, since USF expected to
be good … just not this good. Not
positioned-to-play-for-a-national-championship good. With
Auburn and West Virginia already in the win column, South
Florida has become the favorite to take the Big East and play in
a BCS bowl game, the next step in Jim Leavitt's master plan
toward building a fourth power program in the state of Florida.
The biggest one-game surprise was Syracuse's 38-35 shocker over
Louisville, one of the most improbable results in league
Biggest Disappointment – Louisville
Just how far has Louisville fallen since winning the conference
championship last season? Yeah, the defense had to be rebuilt,
but the thinking was that the high-octane offense would carry
the Cards until the D came around. Uh-uh. Even Brian Brohm and
one the best ensembles of receivers around haven't been able to
compensate for a dreadful unit that can't tackle. Not long ago
considered a sleeper for New Orleans, losses to Kentucky,
Syracuse, and Utah have Louisville battling to stay alive.
The Big East Champion will be ... South Florida
A close call with Florida Atlantic was a reminder that the Bulls
are hardly a lock to run away with the Big East title this
fall. However, they're the one program that's best constructed
to survive a league that's deep and short on gimmes each
weekend. Along with the top defense in the conference, South
Florida has begun to run the ball better with Benjamin Williams
and Mike Ford, taking heat off QB Matt Grothe. The Bulls will
lose one game, possibly at Rutgers Oct. 18, but getting
Cincinnati and Louisville in Tampa are nice breaks in the
Best Game of the First Half
South Florida 21 ... West Virginia 13, Sept. 29
The USF defense stuffed West Virginia's
running game, and started off the scoring when LB Ben Moffitt
picked off a Pat White pass for a 26-yard touchdown, in the
seminal win in the young program's history. The Bulls took a
14-0 lead in the first half on a 55-yard Carlton Mitchell
touchdown catch, and padded the lead on the opening drive of the
second half, finishing with a 19-yard Jamar Taylor rushing
score. The Mountaineer offense only managed two Pat McAfee field
goals until late. With Pat White out with a leg injury, Jarrett
Brown had to take over the West Virginia offense, and he came
through with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Darius Reynaud with
just under six minutes to play. The Mountaineers had one final
shot, but Brown couldn't connect on a fourth down pass to keep
the final drive going, and USF was able to run out the clock.
The two teams combined for ten turnovers.
Second Best Game - South Florida 26 ... at Auburn 23 OT,
Sept. 8
Third Best Game - Kentucky 40 ...
Louisville 34, Sept. 15
Worst Game of the First Half
Rutgers 59 ... Norfolk State 0, Sept. 15
Norfolk State hung tough for a quarter, only allowing a 30-yard
Jeremy Ito field goal, and then the second quarter started.
Rutgers cranked out 42 second quarter points, with Mike Teel
connecting with Kenny Britt on touchdown passes from 42 and 34
yards out, Tiquan Underwood caught a 28-yard scoring pass, and
Ray Rice scored three times. With the starters pulled, Jabu
Lovelace was the main man in the second half for the Scarlet
Knights with two 16-yard touchdown runs.
Coach of the Midseason – Jim Leavitt, South Florida
Brian Kelly of Cincinnati also deserves mention here, and
wouldn't be a wrong answer. Leavitt, however, has the Bulls in
the rarified air after knocking off Auburn and West Virginia.
Barring a second-half collapse, Leavitt will contend for more
than Big East Coach of the Year, battling for national Coach of
the Year honors.
Player who'll step up in the second half – West Virginia
RB Steve Slaton
Slaton has been uncharacteristically quiet the last two games,
running for just 123 yards and no touchdowns, the first time
he's gone back-to-back games without scoring in his Mountaineer
career. Concerns? Nah. Slaton's undersized frame takes a
beating, making last week's bye a much-needed break from the
action. He'll return fresh and poised for a monster second half
of the season as West Virginia tries to work its way back into
the Big East race.
Best performance so far – The South Florida defense put
on a clinic against West Virginia, neutralizing the
Mountaineers' speed and changing the landscape of the Big East
Conference. Closing fast and cutting off every lane, the Bulls
held the high-octane 'eers without a touchdown for the first 55
minutes of the 21-13 signature upset. Even more impressive, USF
made West Virginia appear slow, something no other defense had
done in the Pat White/Steve Slaton era.
Top Freshman – Pittsburgh RB LeSean McCoy
For good reasons, the Panthers are going to build their offense
around McCoy, a complete back that can beat defenses with his
speed, power, and sharp cutback ability. Despite beginning the
year as a backup, he has quickly become the focal point of the
offense, while periodically taking direct snaps a la Darren
McFadden at Arkansas. Pittsburgh may not be going anywhere, but
if they can establish McCoy and fellow freshman QB Pat Bostick
as fixtures in the backfield, all will not be lost in 2007.
Coach who needs to have a big second half – Louisville
head coach Steve Kragthorpe
Although Kragthorpe isn't in jeopardy of losing his job after
just one season, he does need to show his new bosses that he
hasn't completely lost this Cardinals team in October and
November. Louisville has been one of the unmitigated disasters
of the first half, slipping to 3-3 and nearly losing to Middle
Tennessee, but Kragthorpe built some momentum and credibility
after a win over Cincinnati. His defensive coordinator, Mike
Cassity, could also use a huge second half, but even that may
not be enough to save his job.
Player who needs to have a big second half – Rutgers DT
Eric Foster
Where has the Scarlet Knights All-American and emotional leader
been during the first half of the season? A force on the 2006
team that opened up space for players around him, Foster has
been unusually quiet so far, making just 3.5 tackles for loss
and half a sack. The lack of pressure from the interior has
been evident in losses to Maryland and Cincinnati, in which
Rutgers allowed more than 400 yards of offense. Foster has to
tap back into his wild side over the next two months if the
Scarlet Knights are to remain in league contention.
Best remaining conference game – Cincinnati at South
Florida, Nov. 3
This year's two big surprises out of the Big East will get
together for a game that'll have infinitely more significance
than anyone could have imagined back in August. The winner gets
the inside track on a BCS bowl invitation and, if still
unbeaten, an outside shot at moving into one of the top two
spots in the BCS standings. It'll also be can't-miss viewing
for fans of fast, opportunistic defenses that deliver the

March 26th jumps to the fore, it's a historic marker which I think elevates it above the others. That being said the 7-0 game vs Colorado is close as is the 2-1 win to sweep the Flyers. The greatest one I ever saw live (and I've seen hat tricks by LaPointe and Fedorov) was waaaaaaaay back on February 23, 1989. I had to do some research to find this game and confirm all my claims lol. Some buddies and I left work to go get SRO tickets as the mighty Mario Penguins were in town. The building started out ugly as the Wings fell behind 6-0. SIX TO NOTHING. By the end of the night the fans were jumping on one another and hugging and it was one of the loudest nights I've ever heard JLA, the Wings stormed back to TIE the game at 6-6 where the game ended. Way too much fun, waaaay too many beers.

SPARTANBURG The Southern Conference may have to reinvent itself, commissioner John Iamarino said Thursday, and that could happen through expansion.
The SoCon, the fifth-oldest league in NCAA Division I athletics, has been beleaguered in recent months. Two members, Appalachian State and Georgia Southern, are publicly seeking a move up from FCS to FBS (I-A) football. And a rival mid-major league, the Colonial Athletic Association, reportedly has extended invitations to two other SoCon schools, College of Charleston and Davidson.
Earlier this week, Charleston athletic director Joe Hull cited the uncertain future of the SoCon as one reason his school is considering a jump to the CAA.
After meeting with SoCon presidents last week, Iamarino said his league would consider expanding from its current 12 members (nine in football) if need be.
Thats possible, yes, Iamarino said at the SoCons football media day. We havent ruled that out.
Iamarinos message the SoCon is not going anywhere, despite an unnerving couple of months.
We have two schools who want to play football at a different level, he said. But wanting that and being able to make that happen are two different things. If that doesnt happen in the next three to five to 10 years, it doesnt hurt us.
I hope our current members dont think those schools are leaving any day now, so we better think about getting out. Thats not the case.
And Iamarino said speculation that several other SoCon members there have been rumors about Furman, Elon and UNC Greensboro may join the CAA in a mass defection is off base.
I saw an article just this morning listing a string of two or three potential members, and that is nowhere near the truth, he said.
Iamarino cited some steps the SoCon has taken to shore up its mens basketball, including hiring a director of basketball for the league. The SoCon will also revamp its financial distribution plan to give a larger share of NCAA tournament money to the teams that make the tournament.
Right now, that money is split fairly evenly, he said. Well revise that so its a reward for schools that make a commitment to basketball, and an incentive for programs to put together a good schedule and have the kind of success we want to have.
Iamarino pointed out that the SoCon has been around since 1921, and once included schools such as Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, N.C. State, South Carolina and Tennessee.
This league has reinvented itself before, he said. Will we have to reinvent ourselves again? Perhaps. Our No. 1 goal is to keep the 12 members we have now they are a good fit and see if we can add pieces to make ourselves more valuable.
