Obscure Couture, Jacob Birge and Saunt & Sinner were commissioned by fashion website Crave to create couture collections for grand finale of the festival last night, with the one-off show held in the car park of the Ocean Terminal shopping centre.
The event was designed to showcase luxury fashion and included creations from Glasgow-based label Obscure Couture, which was set up by Lyndsay Pagan and Jenn Celine Coyle and specialises in unique "street/stagewear". Ms Robertson wore a multi-coloured skirt and fitted bodice designed by the pair.
The fashion show also included collections from Birge, known for his unconventional use of hi-tech fabrics, and womenswear designers Toni Roddie and Emma Noble, of Saunt & Sinner, who both studied at Gray's School of Art and are known for using Scottish textiles. Their red dress was modelled by Ms Bird for the show.

Five things we learned from Rockets 102, Hornets 83
Five thoughts on … Rockets 102, Hornets 83 1. James Harden said his remarkable recent shooting has just been about shooting well. Kevin McHale said it was always going to come around and he knew that Harden would eventually get on a roll. Great scorers get hot and Harden has. But it would have been […] [Read More]
Is Hayward's deal a sign of what's to come for Parsons, Rockets?
Gordon Hayward received an offer of $63 million and it was easy to imagine Chandler Parsons and his agent celebrating. Happy for Hayward as Parsons might have been, he might not have been moved just by Hayward's soon to be fat bank account. With a similarly-skilled, if less accomplished restricted free agent could receiving his […] [Read More]
Draft lottery isn't fixed, but Hornets' win should not have looked so shady
The howls began before Hornets coach Monty Williams could hold up that New Orleans uniform with the No. 1 across the front, displaying the Hornets' place in the NBA Draft and the number of eyebrows on the player to be taken with that pick. [Read More]
Scola still laughing about "the trade"
Six weeks later, Luis Scola still found "the trade"' amusing. Actually, he forgot that he had been "traded" to the New Orleans Hornets until I asked about it this morning. He laughed again, asked if he could call the Hornets his former team and flashed air quotes every time he said the words "the trade." […] [Read More]

UAB Research Focuses on HIV
By Alabama Public Radio
Birmingham, AL – A study published Friday in the journal Science suggests the virus that causes AIDS may be most vulnerable to vaccines in the earliest stages of infection. Researchers with the University of Alabama at Birmingham collected the information at U-A-B's research clinic in Zambia. During a five-year period, researchers found eight new H-I-V infections in early stages. Scientists also discovered the new viruses were different from those found in people who had been infected for years. The research suggests low levels of antibodies could effectively fight H-I-V infections if properly targeted and timed.

Darren Aronofsky's 2008 dramatic film about a down and out professional wrestler.< read all 21 reviews
When I was growing up watching professional wrestling on Saturday afternoons was a ritual in our neighborhood. All of the "guys" on the street watched; we all had our favorites, the good guys, the bad guys and those in between. So The Wrestler (2008) the much ballyhooed comeback vehicle for Mickey Rourke (Body Heat, Nine ½ Weeks, Wild Orchid) was a must see.
Directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Fountain, Requiem For a Dream) The Wrestler chronicles the failing fortunes of Randy 'The Ram' Robinson a once successful professional wrestler who now lives alone in a rented trailer, works part-time at a super market and wrestles at small venues on the weekends.
Having alienated his family years ago—principally his daughter Stephanie (Evan Rachel Ward ~ Profiler, Once and Again, Thirteen)—by spending all his time on the road, Ram is a very lonely guy. The little one-on-one human contact he does have comes from Cassidy (Marisa Tomei ~ My Cousin Vinny, In The Bedroom, Rescue Me) a dancer at the strip club he frequents. He wants a relationship outside the club, but she demurs; something about not dating the clientele.
But after suffering a heart attack Randy starts to rethink his life and the decisions he's made and seeks to turn his life around and reconcile with his daughter.
My Thoughts
I did not recognize Mickey Rourke, seriously. The physical changes in the man are nothing short of astounding; oh the joys of plastic surgery and human growth hormone! But I am sure everyone has made that same observation. Be that as it may Rourke turns in an outstanding performance as a man sliding painfully into the sunset of his less than golden life.
The wrestling moves and action sequences took me back to yesteryear. Yes, I have long since given up the ritual, but I can still remember the signature moves, the back and forth of the opponents seeking the upper hand. The move captures that magic all over again with startling realism. Ram's body truly dies take a beating, but he keeps coming back for more. He knows wrestling is all there is for him; life has lost its meaning outside the comfortable cocoon.
And therein lies the problem with The Wrestler, Ram is not smart and neither is the movie. The movie is predictable and that makes it less entertaining, and the character less likeable. I wanted to feel sorry for Ram, and for a while I was rooting for him, but towards the end he lets me down by his failed attempt at redemption and I wrote him off.
Rourke's performance was not the issue, it's the script, but I supposed I expected too much; I wanted a feel good ending and one is not forthcoming. Rourke's stellar performance is bolstered by that of Ms. Tomei who turns in a risky, edgy, noteworthy performance and the aging single mother/exotic dancer who wants to be with Ram, but can't find a way because she has to make a living.
In the end The Wrestler constantly holds out the hope of redemption, even as it obscures any concept of what that redemption might look like. Ram is a simple man whose life has been sharply etched by his Randy 'The Ram' Robinson persona. He is incapable of getting out his own way long enough for redemption to take firmly take hold; typical (disappointing) human behavior. Perhaps after all the hype surrounding The Wrestler, I expected more.

ElectriCritters lights up holidays starting Friday
A grazing deer herd … sledding penguins … pecking woodpeckers … and Old Man Winter blowing cold air. These are just some of the lighted displays you'll find as you walk down the nature trail at River Bend Nature Center this holiday season. Bring the family to ElectiCritters, the annual lighted display at River Bend, 2200 Third St., at the entrance to Lucy Park.
Hundreds of visitors will walk the trail at River Bend from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the opening this Friday and every Friday and Saturday night through Dec. 22, trying to spot the animal-shaped Christmas light displays nestled in the trees and bushes. With the flip of a switch, more than 40,000 lights on more than 150 silhouettes will glitter along the nature trail, bringing the sights and sounds of the season to adults and children. Check out creatures like the 10-foot Loch Ness sea monster, baby chick and a Christmas kitty lighting the way.
After walking the trail, come in from the cold to the Bryant Edwards Learning Center to hear celebrity storytelling. Put your feet up in the pavilion and feast on old fashioned s'mores, popcorn and a cup of hot chocolate.
Say hello to Santa, Mrs. Claus and Rudolf, who will all make an appearance each weekend. Check out the gift shop full of holiday gifts and stocking stuffers.
ElectriCritters is the major fundraiser of River Bend Nature Center, so don't forget to look on the lighted displays to see which generous donors contributed to this year's event.
Admission to ElectriCritters is $4 in advance and $5 at the gate. Children under 2 are admitted free. The trail is stroller and wheelchair accessible.
For information, call River Bend at 767-0843.
Light up a life
With your $10 donation to Hospice of Wichita Falls, the iconic tree atop the Chase Bank Tower on Kemp Boulevard will be lit on Tuesday during both local TV station's weathercasts.
This year, the goal has been raised to $200,000, which hospice will use to provide bereavement and grief support programs in the community as well as inpatient and outpatient care to everyone, regardless of their financial resources.
A $10 donation will light one light on the tree. Each donation, no matter how large or small, is a simple way to honor or remember someone special who has touched your life.
To hospice workers, each light on the tree represents someone special. It means patients they've cared for and families who have welcomed them into their homes and lives during their darkest hours. And in the sharing, caregivers' own lives have been enriched.
If the fundraising goal is reached by the Dec. 14 "radio day" on KWFS-FM Lone Star 102.3, the star on the top of the tree will be lit.
Donations may be made at Hospice of Wichita Falls at 4909 Johnson Road, or at the hospice table at the center of Sikes Senter.
For information, call hospice at 691-0982.
Deck the halls
If you deck the halls with beautiful poinsettias from North Texas Rehabilitation Center, you'll be helping to provide quality therapeutic services to those who otherwise could not afford it.
All you have to do is call the rehab center and place your order by Nov. 30. The red, pink or white poinsettias are $17 each.
Send them to your neighbor, co-worker or friend and brighten their holiday. Deliveries will be made Dec. 3-14 inside the Wichita Falls city limits. All pickups will be from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. beginning Dec. 3 at the rehab center, 1005 Midwestern Parkway.
For more information, call the North Texas Rehab Center marketing department at 687-4914.
A fantasy of lights
For almost 40 years, Fantasy of Lights has been a tradition in Wichita Falls. Many who grew up here have a favorite memory of the Fantasy of Lights — waiting in a long line of cars along Clarinda Avenue when the displays were dotted across the Burns house or walking among Peter Pan, Cinderella and the bubble-blowing robot on the Midwestern State University campus.
Those memories come flooding back as the community anticipates the opening of Fantasy of Lights on the first Friday of December.
It's hard to imagine the MSU campus without the much-loved Fantasy of Lights. Keep those visions and memories alive by making a donation to the lighted holiday display you've loved for years. Consider honoring someone on your gift list with a contribution to Fantasy of Lights. Your gift can be in honor or memory of a loved one, friends or business associate. Organizers will mail a tribute card notifying honorees of your generous gift that pays tribute to the legacy that Mrs. Burns started on her lawn in the 1920s.
For information, call 397-4352.
Shop till you drop
The Arc Angel's Thrift Store, which benefits The Arc, Wichita County, is open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 3307 Buchanan. Right now, Thanksgiving items are 75 percent off and items in the new clearance section range from 50 cents to $1.

Moorings Park at Grey Oaks names builder developer
Steve Brinkert, vice president of resident services at Moorings Park, has announced that CC Devco Homes, a Codina-Carr Company, has been named a builder developer for the new community Moorings Park at Grey Oaks in Naples.
Designed for retirement living with a focus on wellness, the project is a collaborative effort between two of Southwest Florida's most prominent names in real estate. Located at the intersection of Airport Pulling Road and Golden Gate Parkway near the Estuary at Grey Oaks, the 16-acre community will be set amid lush landscaping, and will consist of 96 luxurious garden homes to be built by CC Devco Homes. The community will also encompass a multi-featured clubhouse, two resort-style pools and a state-of-the-art assisted living facility/memory care center.
"We are looking forward to working with the talented CC Devco team," said Dan Lavender, Moorings Park's CEO. "They are known for quality building throughout the state and have completed several outstanding projects here in Naples that are commensurate with the highest standards set by Moorings Park and Grey Oaks."
One of the largest residential builders in the state, CC Devco Homes has developed a portfolio of successful communities including Traditions at Grey Oaks in Naples, a neighborhood encompassing 44 villas and 61 single family residences. The company also built Monterra, a 525-acre landmark development in Cooper City that sold out all 800 homes in just two years. They are also currently marketing Waterview in Miramar, Osprey Oaks in Lake Worth, Maples Ridge in Ave Maria, and Parkside Estates in Davie. The builders' overall business model is based on providing high-quality, new homes in carefully selected locations at affordable prices.
The project is a collaborative effort between two of Southwest Florida's most prominent names in the community. The Sales Center is located inside the Grey Oaks Realty Office at 2406 Grey Oaks Drive, Naples and is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

EPIC disagrees with low Gears of War review scores says it's bull
It seems EPIC's president Mike Capps is displeased by some of the lower review scores Gears of War for the PC have been getting. According to him it just doesn't make much sense when you take a great game like Gears of War on the Xbox 360 and improve upon it.
According to MundoRare the exact words Capps used to describe these lower score reviews is "bull shit!" I actually agree with him on his assessment considering I've played both versions the PC and Xbox 360. On the PC version of Gears of War you can crank the resolution much higher as well as get better performance with various aspects of the game such as load time.
I have to say EPIC execs are some of my favorite when it comes to interviews. Mark Rein is also known to be outspoken and likes to tell it how it is, and Mike Capps seems to have the same mentality which is refreshing. Gears of War on the PC was phenomenal with a huge extra level and a Brumark boss battle to top it off with.
It was absolute fan service after there was an outcry from the fans that you were not able to fight the Brumark in the Xbox 360 version after teasing us with it in the trailers. That seems to have struck a nerve with EPIC with the prospect and hint from the E3 demonstration by Cliff Bleszinski that you might be able to ride a Brumak, how awesome would that be.
Even if you own Gears of War for the Xbox 360 and loved it, don't think twice about purchasing it for the PC because it is definitely worth it. Just make sure you have a nice video card, a GeForce 7800 GT is more than sufficient and it won't cost you a kidney.
Also don't forget Gears of War 2 is set to hit the store shelves November this year. It's going to be an epic month (no pun intended) along with Resistance 2, another huge franchise with the first one selling more than three million units, it's going to be a blockbuster month.
As the Hip Hop Gamer puts it in this interview with Insomniac head Ted Price about Resistance 2, "a true gamer, not a fanboy, who has all the systems" will buy both, Gears of War 2 on the Xbox 360 and Resistance 2 on the PS3, hands down end of discussion.. I have to say I definitely have to agree with that.

AUDIO: Inappropriate police call details now revealed
Posted: April 04, 2014|
'I'M stuck in traffic on the motorway but I need the toilet, can I use the hard shoulder?'
This was just one of several inappropriate calls that clogged up the lines at Leicestershire Police's headquarters, forcing senior officers to remind people to only dial 999 in an emergency as lives could be put at risk by tying up the line.
The force also revealed other genuine calls made to Leicestershire Police's 999 call management department in the past 12 months.
Some of these included:
"I bought some shoes from the shop and I want to exchange them, what do I do?"
"My girlfriend and I want to go running in our swimwear, what's the law on this?" "
"There's a rat in my kitchen, what shall I do?"
Superintendent Adam Streets, head of the force's contact centre and control room, said: "We want the public to think very carefully before dialling 999.
"This is for genuine emergencies only and it is extremely important that my call handlers aren't tied up dealing with calls like the ones we have highlighted.
"Such calls can put people's lives at risk."

This op-ed, transportation expert and Brookings Institution researcher Rob Puentes discusses the need for the Dulles Metro-rail project and how it has become a pawn in a bureaucratic chess match.
Puentes makes the argument for why metropolitan areas will go it alone for the sake of its citizens: "Clearly, some kind of competitive process is warranted. However, the current bureaucratic rigmarole is so torturous, it is no wonder that some metropolitan areas are forgoing the federal process completely and funding new transit segments on their own."
It is vastly important for local, state and the federal government, along with the private sector to work cooperatively, rather than against one another, for the sake of these individual economies, which are the engines of prosperity for the nation at-large.
"The Dulles dust-up is not a unique disease, but rather a symptom of a much larger national transportation illness. As hard as it may be to think of a $5 billion mega-transportation project as a "microcosm" of anything, right now that is exactly how one should consider the Dulles rail controversy."
"The disagreements about the planned 23-mile Metrorail line through Tysons Corner in Virginia, continuing to Dulles International Airport - stalled now due to ideological differences over the appropriate federal role in transportation - are a subset of a larger battle taking place."
Thanks to Rob Puentes
Rail to airport is not necessarily a good idea. Instead of trying to predict the future, make public transit free and unskew the market, first.
Air travel should not be encouraged.

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Down to wire, or will Bulls pull away?
The Bucks are living on the edge right now, trailing Chicago by 1 1/2 games entering Saturday night's NBA action.
On Friday, the Charlotte Bobcats beat Toronto and passed the Bucks, dropping Milwaukee into the 10th spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bobcats trail the Bulls by one game.
Bucks coach Scott Skiles said earlier this week that his team needs to focus solely on its own play in order to stay in the race for the final playoff spot, currently held by the Bulls. Milwaukee has 12 games remaining, including a home game against Portland on Saturday night.
Charlie Bell echoed his coach's thoughts after practice on Friday.
"If we want to stay in the race for the eighth spot, every game is key for us," Bell said. "With Chicago playing well and other teams starting to pick it up, we've got to do the same. If not, after these next couple games we'll not even be in the race any more."
The Bulls, who have won three consecutive games, will play host to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night. Chicago has benefited greatly from a trade deadline deal that brought John Salmons and Brad Miller from Sacramento.
Following the game against Portland, the Bucks will go on a four-game trip to Toronto, Orlando, Miami and New Jersey. Milwaukee will finish the season with five of seven games at home in April.
"It wouldn't surprise me for it to go right down to the end," Skiles said of the race for No. 8. "There hasn't been any (real) separation yet. Any team could step up, win six out of seven and get some distance. It hasn't happened yet.
"Charlotte really has made a lot of strides the last month or so. They're a dangerous team right now."
The Bobcats play at home against Indiana on Saturday. Charlotte has 13 games left, including eight on the road.
The Bulls play five of their final six games at home, and nine of their remaining 13 games are at the United Center.
"It's pretty simple, really," Skiles said of facing Portland, currently the seventh-seeded team in the West. "It's a big game for both teams. Every game is the same right now. They all have the same weight right now, and we just have to be concerned with how we're playing."

The wireless carrier announced Monday that owners of certain Sprint PCS Vision handsets loaded with EarthCam's Java-based software, EarthCam Mobile, will be able to view live images from their PCs' Webcams using the new service. They will also be able to watch videos from Webcams around the world and find local traffic and weather Webcams by simply typing in a ZIP code.
Consumers could use the service to "check for upcoming road construction or view the beach at their next vacation spot," Jeff Hallock, Sprint's vice president of consumer marketing, said in a statement.
The EarthCam Mobile service is available for $4.95 a month and can be accessed through the "Downloads" menu on Sprint camera phones.
Both Sprint and EarthCam anticipate a greater future ahead for camera phones. Camera phones already constitute more than a quarter of mobile phones shipped worldwide, market researchers have said. Overall, cell phones makers are expected to ship a record 625 million units this year.

- Sprint's Webam
- That sounds like a great idea. I just came back to the states from Japan. I got to see first hand how technologically sophisticated they are. They are working on mainstreaming cellular webcams so I would love to see us neck to neck with them. I would definately pay extra for it (even if the only other people I know who have the are Japanese).

- While this particular news item is about watching webcams ON your cellphone, its only a matter of time before cellphones ARE webcams and as my friend on IM just said "The next go to news moment will be from someone's cellphone camera" .. they already did it with satellite phones in Iraq, its just a matter of time before that technology is in everyone's cellphones. It will be rare that we don't have videos of nearly every news event after that happens.

Clark County Sheriff to host conference on teen violence
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 11 June 2009 00:00
Clark County Sheriff, Danny Rodden, is sponsoring a conference on teen violence.
Sheriff Rodden has invited author and speaker Phil Chalmers to Clark County for this presentation, "Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer".
Phil Chalmers has been studying youth culture and juvenile homicide for over 20 years, and is a former police chaplain. He has written many books and produced two documentaries on youth culture. What separates Chalmers from other speakers and writers is he actually speaks to the killers themselves, as well as their victims and relatives. He also spends considerable time with law enforcement and investigators to find out what really happened, how we could have avoided this tragedy, study what the police did right, and learn what the police could have done different.
Chalmers wants to teach us "Why Today's Teens Kill", "What Motivates Them", and "What Warning Signs", you should be looking for.
For more information concerning Phil Chalmers and his programs, go to www.philchalmers.com.

ISP K-9 Kilo finds suspected cocaine
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 11 June 2009 00:00
On Wednesday, June 3 at approximately 5:35 p.m., Trooper Nathan Abbott from the Indiana State Police Post at Sellersburg initiated a traffic stop on Interstate 65 North, near the ten mile marker. The traffic stop was on a 1997 Volvo station wagon for multiple traffic violations.
During the traffic stop Indiana State Police K-9, Kilo, walked around the vehicle and gave a positive alert for possible narcotics inside the vehicle. A search of the vehicle recovered 15 grams of suspected cocaine in a common area of the vehicle. An additional five grams of suspected cocaine was located on a male passenger, James Riley, who was also wanted out of Clark County on an outstanding warrant.
The driver, Eugene Lamaster, was found to be in possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance, Ritalin, and a Schedule III Controlled Substance, Acetaminophen/Hydrocodone. A female passenger, April Barrett, was also charged with Dealing Cocaine.

Pirate baseball defeats Salem, earns Sectional title
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 11 June 2009 00:00
The Pirate Baseball team (22?8) outlasted the Salem Lions in the Championship game of the Class 3A #30 Sectional, hosted by Silver Creek High School.
The Pirates earn the victory 7?6 in extra innings.
The Sectional crown is only the second in school baseball history, the first title came in 1999. "What a wild ride! I can't say enough about the kids and their effort in this tournament, especially tonight. It definitely wasn't easy and we really had to battle to win. Salem is a good ball club and my hat is off to them for a hard fought contest tonight. We are extremely excited to get this victory for our players, fans, coaches, and our school. It took everyone on our roster to make this happen and I just can't say enough about the guys and how proud I am of each and every one of them," stated Coach Ricky Romans.

County Council votes to "unappropriate" economic development funds
Thursday, 11 June 2009 00:00
In a 6-1 vote, the County Council voted to reverse its decision appropriating approximately $75,000 from the Economic Development Income Tax Fund (EDIT); Jim Nice casted the dissenting vote. Concerns were raised that a recent decision by the County Commissioners to give the Washington County Chamber of Commerce $10,000 to cover its operating budget for the remainder of the year violated the spirit of the initial agreement between the Council and the Commissioners when the earmark was approved late in 2008. That agreement was to set aside 25 per cent of the annual funds generated by EDIT for unspecified non-roadwork economic development projects.
At the May 20 meeting when the Commissioners voted to approved the Chamber's request, County Council Vice-President John Fultz was present and gave enthusiastic support for the Commissioners' action saying, "The Chamber's work is an important part of economic development in the county. We need a strong Chamber of Commerce." Apparently, no Council member other than Fultz was made aware of the money being given to the Chamber prior to the decision being made to do so.

City of Salem and Lucas Oil close to a deal on airport purchase
Thursday, 11 June 2009 00:00
Woodward said that the deal to purchase the old airport is about 99 per cent complete. Assuming that negotiations go well between Thompson and Lucas Oil, everything should be signed before the end of the year.
Woodward went on to say that the engineering firm R.W. Armstrong has redesigned the plans for the new facility to have a shorter runway than the initial plan called for. The new plan includes a 3500 runway which is 1500 feet shorter than the one in the initial engineering plan but over 1000 feet longer than the current runway. After completion of that phase, the additional 1500 feet of runway will be added over time. This revision will allow the new facility to be operational within 24 months.
Woodward confirmed that the re-appraising of properties to be purchased for the new airport is still expected to begin this fall.
The next regularly scheduled BOAC meeting is Wednesday, June 17, beginning at 7pm at the airport.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 12/9/12
SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco 49ers were clinging to a 20-13 lead late in the fourth quarter Sunday against Miami when they called a read-option run, a play quarterback Colin Kaepernick could run in his sleep. Kaepernick, who rushed for 4,112 yards and 59 touchdowns in college for Nevada, faked a handoff on third-and-five to running back Frank Gore, pulled the ball back and hit a huge gap off left tackle. He raced 50 yards for a touchdown with 2:10 left, lifting the 49ers to a surprisingly hard 27-13 victory over the Dolphins at Candlestick Park. Niners coach Jim Harbaugh said it was a "great call" by offensive coordinator Greg Roman. "And it was a big third-down conversion. We'd been struggling on third downs. And to get that one to pop and get the touchdown was great. So it was better than having to punt it back to Miami at that point." Kaepernick also passed for 185 yards, completing 18 of 23 passes, nine of those completions going to wide receiver Michael Crabtree for ...

Final Score: West Virginia 17, Louisville 10
Louisville, KY (Sports Network) - Noel Devine had 119 total yards and a
touchdown, and the West Virginia defense did the rest as the Mountaineers
earned a pivotal 17-10 win over the Louisville Cardinals in Big East action at
Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
West Virginia (7-3, 3-2 Big East) will battle Pittsburgh on Friday with the
Big East title at stake. The win marked the Mountaineers' first conference
road victory of the season, and they'll look to make it two in a row next week
at Pitt.
The Cardinals (5-6, 2-4) now find themselves needing a win in Friday's
regular-season finale at Rutgers in order to become bowl eligible for the
first time since 2007.
Louisville got on the board first with a 43-yard field goal by Chris Philpott
at the 9:59 mark of the opening quarter.
WVU answered with a 10-play, 78-yard drive, capped by Devine's two-yard
touchdown run.
The Cardinals reclaimed the lead at the 10:26 mark of the second quarter
thanks to their defense, as Daniel Brown recovered a fumble in the end zone
following a sack and strip by teammate Rodney Gnat.
Four minutes later, the Mountaineers were back on top, as Ryan Clarke polished
off an eight-play, 82-yard drive with a two-yard touchdown plunge.
A 43-yard field goal by WVU's Tyler Bitancurt at the 9:30 mark of the third
quarter made it a 17-10 game, and the Mountaineers' defense held its ground
the rest of the way.
Louisville's offense was held to a mere 171 total yards for the game.

|PDF - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader
Planktonic and benthic foraminiferal assemblages from an Upper Albian to Lower Turonian interval in the East Carpathians were investigated in a well and in an outcrop from the Stoeneşti – Cetăţeni area (Dâmboviţa Valley), Romania. The benthic foraminiferal extinction that occurred at the Cenomanian/Turonian boundary and the first stage of the faunal recovery are documented here for the first time in the Romanian Carpathians. Bioevents and changes in the foraminiferal record from this area show that low oxygen conditions occured already in the Late Cenomanian, as suggested by the presence of radiolarian-rich shales. Impoverished assemblages of small, thin walled agglutinated foraminifera are present in the lowermost Turonian after the benthic-free interval corresponding to the "Bonarelli Level". Calcareous nannofossils are also documented from this level in the well from the Stoeneşti locality.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - DECEMBER 06: Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys looks to throw a pass against the New York Giants on December 6, 2009 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The Giants defeated the Cowboys 31-24. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer Tony Romo sat alone on the Dallas bench, his stare frozen at the ground on a cold night in Washington. Any number of things could have been going through the mind of the Cowboys quarterback in the final minutes of a 28-18 loss to the Redskins on Sunday night. It was his third playoffs-or-bust failure in five years in a finale against an NFC East rival. Romo's late interception helped Washington clinch the win, six years after his famous flub on what could have been the game-winning field goal in his first playoff game in 2006. Tight end Jason Witten's declaration in training camp that it ''can't be the same story'' proved haunting. A year ago, the Cowboys lost to the New York Giants in the same scenario.

EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Hot Business of 'Glee'
The new Hollywood Reporter goes deep inside the war room with cast and execs to look at the forces that have made Fox's hit show a half-billion-dollar franchise, as they also open up about looming cast salary negotiations, that Kings of Leon snub (everyone's mad!) and an eventual future without creator Ryan Murphy.
That means the Finn masturbation scene that somehow got past broadcast standards earlier this season won't fly, either. "I personally did not think it was too much, but I immediately heard from parents and even my gay friends who were like, 'I wasn't comfortable knowing that my 8-year-old niece in Maryland was watching that,' " Murphy says. "From now on, I will sweat every single word and how we're presenting it."
Ask what Murphy is like to work with, and you'll hear an array of adjectives ranging from "challenging" to "professional" to "no-nonsense" to "mercurial." He sees himself as "hard and encouraging" but also giving. "It's very important to me to bring people up, to get more women and minorities Directors Guild cards," he says. "When I started, it was all straight white men. It's not that way anymore. I've been so lucky, but if you don't give back, you're just an asshole."
And there's one unspoken modifier, too: Murphy is vital. He plays an integral role in nearly every phase of production but especially in setting Glee's tone. For that, he's given a far longer leash than most showrunners. Still, there was a moment when it almost snapped.
It was August 2009, and Murphy, who had directed the 2006 film Running With Scissors, received the offer of his dreams: the movie Eat Pray Love, with Julia Roberts in the starring role. Just one problem: He and Glee co-writers Brad Falchuk and Brennan were only a few episodes into Season 1, and the trio was committed for 13. To do Love would require three months of shooting on three continents, not to mention the consent of his studio bosses, who were getting ready to launch his new show on the back of Idol.
"It was tense," Murphy says. "It was a very weird period in my life. Everything happened at once. I was finishing Nip/Tuck, Glee was greenlit and in production against all odds, and Julia Roberts — the most famous, highest-grossing female movie star in the history of the planet — said yes to the movie that I believed in. I wanted to do it, and it was very difficult because they never said no to me. Fox, Amy Pascal at Sony, Dana — none of them wanted to take someone's dream away, so I really had to make some promises."
The decision to let Murphy embark on his Love adventure was "highly unusual," Walden recalls. "It involved a huge leap of faith on our part and a huge degree of trust in Ryan. To say no would have been the end of our relationship with him and the wrong decision in a partnership."
As Glee legend goes, Falchuk and Brennan flew around the world to write with Murphy whenever he could spare the time. The Madonna episode, in fact, was conceived beachside in Bali on a 110-degree day. "I really did admire how everybody handled it," Murphy says. "I feel very loyal to that group of people now because they believed in me."
It does, however, point to an uncertain future. With Murphy's Glee contract up at the end of Season 5 and the cast due to graduate at some point ("just because they leave this school doesn't mean they can't go to another one," he hints), can the show continue to churn out stars, ratings, quality music and good stories without him? As much as he can, Murphy is working to ensure Glee's longevity by setting up story lines and the constant introduction of new characters.
"Chord Overstreet was new and really caught on this season, and Darren Criss has become one of our biggest recording stars ever," Murphy says. "Next year, we'll add two to four new people and every year as the show continues. I won't be doing it forever -- or past my agreement. Then it will become somebody else's dilemma."
With that admission, the Fox credo of gleeful optimism fades as Walden contemplates life without her friend and collaborator. "The pop culture magic that surrounds this show, Ryan brings," she says. "The character development, the story lines — Ian and Brad can do those parts ultimately if they had to. But I don't think I would want to do Glee without Ryan altogether. I'd hope he'd have some minimal involvement."
Adds Newman: "I think a creator like him has to be handled really carefully by a studio. But, the last thing we're worrying about is some post-Ryan era." Murphy shares that sentiment: "I'm just trying to get past the Super Bowl," he says.
Besides, Fox might have a bigger Glee headache to deal with: the imminent salary renegotiation with members of its ensemble cast. "With a series that's this successful, it's not unusual that people would have to renegotiate contracts," Newman says. "My guess is over the course of the next year, we'll be having those conversations with representatives of the cast and hope that we can find areas of agreement to increase their compensation and get what we need in terms of additional services."
Those services include participation in the tour, recording obligations, options for three movies at Fox, promotional appearances, press, attendance at Fox events, charitable endeavors and, of course, all that merchandising. On the actors' side, several are juggling solo music careers and movie offers. To shoot Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve, co-starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry and Ashton Kutcher, Murphy is writing Michele out for several days in February and March, "so she can go back and forth and do the movie," he says. "We're doing that with Darren, too, who has an existing movie career. In success, you should have more success."
At the same time, they're mindful of not hijacking their actors' time so much that they make a Friends-like pact and revolt. But if it happens, that's cool, too, Murphy says. "I expect and encourage it. I think everybody should do whatever they can so they feel happy and taken care of. I don't want anybody to come to work feeling like: 'F--- you. You don't care about me.' For the first 13 episodes, all of us were like, 'whatever it takes,' including those kids. Then we got successful, and they were like, 'OK, a little less what it takes, a little more, 'We wanna go home and have a life.' A lot of companies might be like: 'Go screw yourself.' We realize that it's a little different now, and we're starting to reach out to different actors and representatives and come up with pay raises and movie outs."
Whether those pay bumps end up on the level of The Big Bang Theory will depend largely on Season 2's numbers, which should get a substantial Super Bowl spike, but one thing's for sure: It will be an awfully long way to come in a short amount of time for such Broadway stars as Morrison and Michele, who both earned union pay of $1,800 a week, by Billig's estimation, while they starred in Tony-nominated shows. "The jump from stage to TV is astronomical," she says.
Glee has yet to hit its peak, and the frenzy will only intensify during the coming months. "I think these kids have handled fame very, very well, but it's hard for a lot of them," Murphy says. "Like Chris Colfer. I've seen it where he's at a party and every gay person within a three-mile radius is suddenly up in his face. … At the same time, I tell them: 'This will not last forever. You will not be on TV forever. You will not have the opportunity to perform in the 02 Arena forever. You will not be going to the Golden Globes forever. Try to enjoy it.'"
It's advice the poker-faced Murphy might want to take himself and smile every so often. He's earned it.

Demon Slaying
By Naamah_Obyzouth 23 Comments
Demon Slaying
By Naamah
Welcome to my instructional guide. You may be wondering why I would write a guide on this subject, when I am known to keep company with demons and am directly related to Lucifer himself. When a goddess decides to make knowledge available there is most assuredly a really good reason for the leak of information. I have my reasons and that is all I have to say on the matter. Some demons are not supposed to walk the Earth they have not been invited and they are not worthy of my protection. Within this guide I will explain many things you need to know about encountering demons, including how to banish them back to Hell, certain bad habits that make demons predictable, and even how to identify them.
Chapter One: Identify!
If you believe you have seen a demon, chances are you haven't. Most demons do not like anyone to know that they are in fact demons. And if a demon does want you to know what he/she is, this is usually a bad omen. The point of this guide is to prepare you so that you become the hunter, not the hunted.
Most demons do not look any different than anyone else in terms of mere appearance alone, that is unless they want you to know and then it is pretty obvious. There are many types of demons and some are easier to classify then others. The more powerful demons are often times the hardest to root out, while the mindless pit-fiends are often incredibly short sighted and just want to murder, rape, cannibalize, mutilate, all in the name of Evil for the sake of Evil. They have no master plans, no sense of self-worth and they will be disturbing.
Possession is often times the most common way to meet a demon. Children are the most common targets for demon possession, as the demons are drawn to their innocence and wish to corrupt and defile it. It is usually pretty obvious when a demon has leeched itself onto a mortals soul, child or not. Their physical appearance usually takes on a haunting reminder of what has taken root inside of them, they become wild animal like, as if running completely on impulse.They growl, they drool, they bite, they howl, they scratch, they have horribly bad breath, and they say the nastiest things you could imagine.
Breakouts are demons that should be in Hell but have found a way to end up on Earth instead. They are usually fairly reclusive, unless they are some type of Incubus or Succubus, they are usually attention whores and are around many people who adore them until they spend some alone time with them. I have a fair amount of animosity towards Succubi due to people mistaking myself as one of their kind. It is taxing on my nerves to have to repeat time and time again how I am a Seraph and not a goddamn garden verity Succubus! They are often times either very attractive, or horribly terrifying. Sexy beyond reason, or built tough and ugly as a mud fence.
Chapter Two: Bad Habits.
Demons have a lot of emotional damages from being tormented in Hell for eons, it has given them some pretty easy to exploit bad habits. Vanity or Pride is a pretty common one. I am sure you know where I am going with this by now. The seven deadly sins are in fact almost always noticeable in each in every demon, some more so, or less so than others. Pride, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Laziness, Envy, and Wrath.
Demons also have a tendency to mock things that are of religious significance and can be even hostile about it if provoked directly by a practicing member of some religion, only if a devout follower of the said faith. Demons get uneasy around true faith as they have none, no faith in anyone or anything, not even themselves.
And last but not least, demons frequent dens of iniquity. If there is a place that mortals enjoy sinning in excess that is where you would most likely find a demon hiding, because they don't standout as much around other sinners. Around the wicked they seem almost normal, almost human.
Chapter Three: Banishment.
You will need a piece of the demon. A finger, a toe, a horn, a tooth, his/her heart. Something tangible many have tried to use hair confiscated by means of theft and ended up banishing an innocent child or a family member or pet instead of the demon. Make damn sure you have a piece of the actual demon that you mean to banish, then take that piece someplace safe and perform the banishing ritual. You will need a virgin sacrifice, a silver dagger, candles are a nice touch for ambiance, and then you will need to repeat this chant over and over again until you see the piece that you procured vanish from sight. This is because the demon has been made whole once more, as the piece is returned to the hosts body. But this also ties the hosts body to the magic being used from this point forward. Then begin the next chant that will summon the demons spirit into the virgin sacrifices body. As soon as this takes place drive the dagger through its heart and repeat this third and final chant that will summon an Arch-Angel, that will drag the demon back to Hell.
- Chant One: "Porthu, Porthu, Porthu, Clamixa!"
- Chant Two: "Gorthul, Tallannazi, Gorthul, Tallannazi!"
- Chant Three: "Yo Micheal get your feathered ass down here and take care of this mess... I mean it Mr High and Mighty, I don't have all day to wait for you to do your job!"
A Final Message by the Author.
Now you know everything that you need to know about dealing with demons. Go on then! Smite yourself a Succubus in the name of the greater good or whatever undoubtedly gay ass reason you probably have for the hunt in the first place. Chow bitches! Naamah out!

I like adventure, hike and trek in summers and am a fan of comedy stand-ups. Having grown up in US and India, I am impressed by cultural diversity. I am also a wine snob. :-) I am a football nut in winters and closely follow LSU/SEC college football. I like to cross train, bike and weight train in my spare time. Would love to meet a lady who is genuine and practical, is not afraid to try out something new; someone who can get her hands dirty if needed or dress up if the occasion so asks. Please be non OCD.
