Week of November 26 – 30:
"Y&R's" November sweeps is turning out to be more like November sleeps. There's a sense of gloom 'n' doom in the air, and more than a couple storylines have had viewers complaining 'been there, done that'. I'm also missing characters like Abby and Ashley - core family members who also spiced up the show a bit. That said, we're only a month in with the new writing team and they likely need more time to hit their stride. Here are some thoughts on the week:
Your marriage is over.
Victor trying to engineer the end of Victoria's marriage to Billy is stale stuff – this must be the billionth go 'round, and frankly, it makes no sense at all for a man as shrewd as Victor to keep hitting the repeat button on the same lame material. On the other hand, it was refreshing how Victoria reacted to Victor dropping his bomb about Billy knowing he was in L.A., and I enjoyed her sibling discussion with Nick. As for Nick and Victor's talk – I love that Nick is holding firm about 'the fight for Newman' – even going so far as to tell Victor to do it himself - but I had to laugh when Victor asked Nick what he's been doing lately. Nick, of course, said parenting. Funny how he neglected to mention all the time he's been spending boinking the kids' Aunt Avery.
Hell's kitchen.
Speaking of Nick and Avery, his little speech to Avery about not letting Phyllis figure into their relationship was a hoot - pretty unrealistic considering she's his ex-wife and Avery's sister! Meanwhile, I'm starting to dread seeing that kitchen appear on the screen, knowing insipid food-related foreplay talk will inevitably follow.
Kevin's crumbling world.
The best thing that happened in this storyline was Jill advising Chloe to divorce Kevin. You go, Jill.
Who's using whom?
I have full confidence in Jill's ability to handle Tucker, and look forward to them doing the dance. I also loved Jill's visit with Lauren this week.
Chloe and Chelsea as bosom buddies aren't feeling like a natural fit to me. Chelsea blabbing all about Sharon to Chloe continued the theme of her being a loose cannon, which culminated in her threatening to reveal Sharon's crime if she didn't stay away from Adam, and ordering Adam never to see Sharon again. Dear Chelsea, if you have to go to these extremes, you've already lost. You're welcome. By the way, Chelsea's imaginings of Sharon and Adam together were the hottest scenes on "Y&R" in weeks.
Hermit crab.
Jack's blossoming addiction is making everyone, including Phyllis, uncomfortable. The constant grimacing is bad enough, but it was downright ghastly when he made his voice all husky and told Phyllis, "You mean a lot to me." Egad. I'd move out in a hurry too. Of course, Kyle thinks Phyllis should stay. Someone must have forgotten to tell the new writing team that Kyle is supposed to hate Phyllis for writing mean stuff about Diane. Whoops. Anyway, Kyle has not only entered into a secret plan with Phyllis to kick Adam to the curb, but on more than one occasion has clearly been trying to flirt with her! I've always thought Kyle was a perfect candidate for a fling with an older woman. It certainly would shake things up if it got out - poor Jack would be right on the phone upping his dosage! Strange that he can do that, by the way… What do you make of Kyle eying up Phyllis? Should they hook-up? Vote in Soaps.com's Y&R Kyle's Crush poll.
Frisky business.
I love that it appears Neil is going to walk in on Cane and Lily getting busy on his desk! It may not improve things at work for Cane, but it's soapy good!
Beautiful little friendship.
Jealous Fen has picked up where Summer left off sending Jamie mean texts. Cyber-bullying is an important topic, I just wish the storyline had a little more depth – it feels like filler. I also have trouble caring about these surly, sulky teens – maybe if we'd gotten more used to them as grown people first? Anyway, it sounds like things will get worse for Jamie before they get better. For more insight on the storyline and Fen, check out Soaps.com's interview with Max Ehrich.

I got passed over for finger painting in first grade, and since then I've taken out my still unresolved frustration whenever I take paintbrush in hand.
Only once did my hometown teacher haul out the finger-paint and paper for us, and she must not have had enough to go around that day. I got picked for a lot of things in school, but on finger painting day I did not get picked.
After more than 50 years I still don't know why. And after more than 50 years I'm still waiting for my first chance to finger paint. If you've got some plans, call me up.
So, some time later I jumped at the chance when Dad said I could paint the trees. That's right, the trees.
Dad took a notion one time to whitewash the trees in the yard. Back in the old days folks would paint the trunks of their trees with the cheap, watery paint substitute called whitewash. That was the paint made famous by Tom Sawyer and his fence in the classic Mark Twain story.
Surely I couldn't mess up whitewashing trees, Dad figured. And I didn't. I did a beautiful job. Any mess simply fell harmlessly onto the grass.
I whitewashed up to the first limb, as per Dad's instructions. It was supposed to keep insects off the trees. But later I noticed ants climbing the whitewashed trees just as before.
I had thought the notion of whitewashing trees had long fallen out of favor, but then I spotted a handful of trees in a yard along Klondike Road with some whitewash just around the base. If this is the start of a trend, remember you heard it here first.
So after my first-grade disappointment and my whitewashing trees experience I put painting out of mind for many years until I went to the old Chatham mill on the east end of Elkin for a summer job. Guess where they sent me.
Dad was a long-time hand at the textile mill, and I grew up hearing stories from there. But I was shocked when Tracy Walker, the personnel man at the mill, sent me to the painting crew. I didn't know the mill had a painting crew.
With experience only in not finger painting and in whitewashing I entered the painters' lounge on the east end of the mill. I found about a half-dozen men there who plied their trade at the plant.
For two summers I apprenticed with the old hands who were kept surprisingly busy 40 hours a week on projects throughout the massive Chatham mill complex.
The men introduced me not only to their vocation but to the culture of the mill. I found the Chatham painters open and friendly and, for the most part, surprisingly accommodating to the college boys, as they called us.
The camaraderie at the mill surprised and pleased me. I have never seen anything like it at work before or since with the possible exception of a small group of social workers with whom I once worked.
Thousands worked at the Chatham mill, and most seemed to know and like each other. It was very much like one big family.
The painters, who traveled the confines of the mill, were goodwill ambassadors. As they moved from place to place with various projects, they got to meet and know many of the mill hands.
The men would stop and check on the other workers, asking about family, ensuring everyone was in good spirits.
And they loved to tease us college boys. For example, one of the painters one time challenged us with this trick question: if eggs are 12 cents a dozen, how much are 100 eggs? Do you have a snap answer? When we didn't, we heard about it from the painters.
I took more pretense than skill in painting with me from the mill. I've tried to draw on my Chatham experience since when I've tackled a painting project or two at home.
My late father-in-law was a painter, and one time after I had stained the house he came over and started looking around. Stain is much more difficult to apply than paint because it runs so freely. I became unnerved when I realized he was checking out my work.
"Pretty good," he mumbled. It was the only compliment I ever got from the old man. I'll take it.
My own father, a machine fixer at the old Chatham mill, was not a painter. I learned that one summer when I took down some old shutters he had once painted. I found a line of white paint outlined on the red brick left by Dad. He didn't take the shutters down to paint them.
Now that white paint will not come off the brick. I call it a reminder of dear ol' Dad.
So now I've started repainting the trim on the house. It's been 15 years and the paint job is showing its age. I'll try to get restarted on it this spring.
And I'll try to make the ol' Chatham painters proud.

Google Shows Real-Time Stock Data
Starting from today, Google shows real-time price data for all NASDAQ stocks, informs Google Finance Blog. Google partnered with CNBC, Wall Street Journal, Xignite and managed to convince NASDAQ that providing free access to real-time stock data is the right thing to do. "With universal access to the Internet and the real-time nature of the web, investors need real time data, and now they don't have to pay for it," said Adena Friedman, Executive Vice President at NASDAQ.
Until today, the information was delayed at least 15 minutes and you had to subscribe to financial sites like Bloomberg to get real-time data. "It's important to have up-to-date market data. It's equally important that that data stay up to date. Consequently, we're enabling the streaming of quotes across Google Finance. Prices will update automatically, once per second, to reflect current market conditions," mentions Google.
The real-time data is available at Google Finance (not yet in the charts), in the financial OneBox, but also at CNBC.com, WSJ.com, MarketWatch.com and Barrons.com. Google Finance shows stock prices in the title, so you can open Google Finance in a new window and minimize it to see the latest updates in the status bar.
Meanwhile, Yahoo partnered with a third-party to show real-time data for all important US stocks, not just for NASDAQ stocks, in Yahoo Finance. "Why did Google choose to work with NASDAQ instead of BATS, the third-party share-exchange that is providing Yahoo's (YHOO) free quotes? From what we hear, because Google, et al, don't think BATS's information is accurate enough," comments Silicon Alley Insider.

Two people - 28-year-old Simon Dease Jr. and 26-year-old Jeremy Grate- were in a 2007 Ford sedan when it went off the road, hit a ditch, and flipped over several times. Both men were ejected from the vehicle.
Grate was airlifted to MUSC in Charleston. His condition has not been released,
Dease, of Jeremiah Lane, died at Grand Strand Hospital at 1:05 a.m., said Coroner Kenny Johnson. Neither man was wearing a seat belt.

The holidays should be a season of sharing, not a season of anxiety. Yet there are lots of expectations that we put on ourselves and each other. Trident Health psychiatrist Dr. Yevgeniy Gelfand offers these tips for navigating potential pitfalls and enjoying one another as much as possible. First, be realistic in what you can do and what you can afford. "Put some thought into your presents instead of putting money into it," says Dr. Gelfand. "It may sound cliché, but it is always the thought, emotion and love that really count." For some family members, their gift may be in hosting the festivities and preparing the food that goes with it. But instead of letting all the work fall on one person, often a mother or grandmother, Dr. Gelfand urges everyone to help out. "A lot of bonds can be made when we work together," he says. "Sharing those responsibilities can lessen expectations and bring people closer." Being with family can bring out the best – and the worst – in how we treat each other. Sibling issues and other resentments can stoke back up easily. During celebrations such as Christmas, Dr. Gelfand encourages "spreading the love as opposed to spreading the argument," though he acknowledges "it takes a big heart to do that." It helps if we consider the personal challenges and stress that others are going through in their everyday lives. And know that holidays can accentuate grief for those people who have lost a close family member or friend recently, or even in years past. "Grief is something that we don't want to deal with. A lot of people try to push it in the back of their minds, and then you have this intrusion of grief at vulnerable times." Those in mourning should take advantage of opportunities to deal with loss with help from others close to them, who may also be in pain. "Don't push it away. Reminisce and remember the good times," Dr. Gelfand says, adding that it is also important to "embrace what we have today." However, there are times when professional help may be needed for overwhelming grief, intense sadness or other mental health issues. If someone is excessively tearful or inconsolable, talks about death and not wanting to be around anymore, or binges on alcohol or drugs, they could benefit from seeing a psychiatrist or counselor. A primary care provider can make a referral, and each county in the Charleston area has a mental health center available. If you feel there's an immediate danger that someone might hurt themselves, don't leave them alone, and instead seek emergency help by calling 911. For a free physician referral or if you have a medical question, please call 843-797-3463. Callout: "Grief is something that we don't want to deal with. A lot of people try to push it in the back of their minds." - Trident Health psychiatrist Dr. Yevgeniy Gelfand

The stress associated with holiday packages arriving on time can be greatly reduced if you're aware of the shipping deadlines. Most don't have the luxury of a sleigh pulled by reindeer to drop off packages on Christmas Eve.
However, knowing the holiday shipping cut-off dates can make celebrating the season a bit easier.
The United States Postal Service's cut-off date for domestic mail sent first class is Dec. 20; priority mail is Dec. 21 and express mail is Dec. 22. The USPS holiday shipping deadline for parcel post is Dec. 14; destinations network distribution center drop ship is Dec. 19 and destination delivery unit drop ship is Dec. 21.
FedEx has its own holiday shipping deadlines. The domestic service deadlines for making sure a package arrives on time varies. However, those wishing to take advantage of the delivery service's same-day shipping option will be able to have the packages delivered on Christmas Day. The cut-off day for FedEx First Overnight, FedEx Priority Overnight and FedEx Standard Overnight is Dec. 22. The deadline for FedEx 2Day a.m. and FedEx 2Day is Dec. 20. Those wanting to take advantage of the FedEx Express Saver service should mail their package by Dec. 19. And the deadline for two other services provided by the home delivery company is Dec. 17 for both FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery. The cutoff date for FedEx Smart Post, a non-guaranteed service in Dec. 12 for making sure your packages arrive on time. For more information about rates and transit times, call FedEx Customer Service at 1-800-GO-FED-EX.
UPS also has several shipping deadlines. The deadline for packages to be delivered by Dec. 24 via UPS 2nd Day Air is Dec. 20 and in order for packages shipped UPS Next Day Air to arrive by Christmas Eve is Dec. 21. For more information on UPS shipping options, call 1-800-PICK-UPS.

Trying to find answers to a few questions about the game. I hope you enlightened folks don't mind answering it.
1) My primary focus is PvP, particularly large-scale open world "zerg" PvP. I was really excited about hearing the WvWvW thing ala DAOC style. However, I then read about ques (long ques) to get into WvWvW. So I'm wondering: how many people are allowed in WvWvW at a time? Is it zergy (which for me is fun), or is it small man teams roaming around?
2) How are the seige battles? Is it primarily focusing on doors or is there some additional strategy? Are most forts well defended or do people just go from one objective to the next? The worst example would be say SWTOR where objectives could be taken in Ilum by 1 person in about 10 seconds. The best example would be classic DAOC defended relic keeps.
3) How is the lag in WvWvW?
4) Does anyone have a link to minimum computer specs? Couldn't find it.
Thanks in advance.

have not played much since the early release so camnt answer about the ques right now. What iIdid though reminded me a lot of DAoC. I did not get any lag and must have been at least 75 - 100 players in some of the battles. I enjoyed it, just want to use it for my end game so I am doing PvE first
here is a quick run down on what to expect
scroll down fro minimum specs
I miss DAoC

The following is mostly based on beta experience, although I've played some WvW post-beta and it hasn't changed much.
1) It's both. You can do some content in small groups, but of course, larger numbers win in a direct fight. Big sieges are almost always "zergy". I think it was supposed to be 100 vs. 100 vs. 100 at some point, but they've talked about increasing the limit, so it may be more atm. Big battles are frequent. Ques are very long during peak hours, but that'll fix itself sooner or later. Right now, however, I'd say ques are the biggest downside of WvW.
2) You can upgrade forts. Even without defending players, NPCs can handle small groups. When it comes to supply camps and other small places, a group of three players can take "basic" versions of them, if no enemy players are present. I've never attacked a fully-upgraded camp with maxed NPC guards, but it's probably quite hard an requires more than five players. A fully-upgraded fortress is most likely a nightmare to take. I've seen badly-organized zergs of 30 people get slaughtered by a couple of defenders with solid anti-infantry machinery. Taking a keep requires at least a battering ram, because otherwise you'll be beating that gate for half an hour. That's the bare minimum, though.
3) No lag for me. No big FPS drops, either, if that's what you mean. I've got a HD 6870, i7 2600K and 8 gigs of RAM. You can switch high-res textures on other players off and that speeds the game up a lot during large-scale fights without lowering visual quality noticeably. I just keep them off all the time.

To be honest. You will probably like it in the long run. What i mean by that is if you try and jump in pvp right out the gate, you will be overwhelmed by higher leveled people. Not so much because of their level but more so the skills they have avaliable compared to you and armor differences. While the armor disparity drops the higher you get in lvl or armor grade if you take a decently equipped lvl 80 with his skills and traits unlocked, you will be overwhelmed. If pvp is your thing, try it. Then try rushing through the lvling process and go back. You will find a vast difference in wvwvw. The spvp tournements are very fun once you realize how much depth and strategy go in to the team combinations.
1 join a smaller server, queues are ok then
2 not as good as daoc or planetside, better than anything else in the past decade, don't worry its not some lake bloody wintergrasp type setup
3 pretty good
4 I have mid range pc - fx4 black, 6870 works fine for me.
One thing as a warning. I don't see it having the longevity of rvr.
Fighting random nameless dudes every 2 weeks (well 24 hours at the moment), just isn't the same as fighting your "best enemies"

I understand it is possibly cool to make a name for yourself, but you can do that within your guild and among your friends. Until they change things if they do, just play and have the fun of bashing and stabbing.

I'd recommend playing PvE at least until you get to level 10-ish and unlock the weapon skills you'll be using. With no weapon swapping and a small number of weapon skills available, your ass will get kicked pretty hard. Besides, it only takes a couple of hours and will teach you how to play the game in a more friendly environment.
TBH, even though they advertised WvW as a viable leveling place from lvl 2 to 80, it's not as beginner-friendly as it should be right now. Personally, I'd to wait until lvl 20 or so before going there.

Some folks are like Slinkies, totally useless but great fun to watch when pushed down stairs
It is nothing like DAoC RvR what so ever... everyone saying that crap better come back and play it again. DAoC still trumps in this area. There is way more numbers in DAoC which is what makes it fun/strategic. There is no OP class, its all in how you play your toon in DAoC. I can beat any class with any class none of this flavor of the month shit.

1) They did try to design for those who want to work in small group to have something to do. You can go take a supply depot. You can escort supplies. you can do hit and run on siege machine locations to defend a fort. But you can also certainly join a big group that is either defending or attacking. usually one forms especially now, early on since no body or few have spent the 100g to learn the skill to form a squad. Basically right now the battle fields tend to be chaotic and that lends itself to people clumping up and sticking together rather than breaking off into tactical teams. You will find what you are looking for WvW.
Each of the 4 maps can hold about 500 players total. So each side is limited to about 165 player on a map at a time. It does cause some harsh queing on heavy pop worlds. There are some worlds that have a lot lower queue times and that is what you want to find. And right now you can transfer around for free. And remember you can pick a server that suits you for WvW and eventually that is all it will effect. They said that they would have server guesting. So once that is turned on you will be able to do PvE anywhere you want with who ever. And you can join guilds cross server. The only thing your home server choice will effect will be who you WvW with. Why they don't have guesting already turned on I have no idea.
2) Taking a fort takes a lot of people. It might take fewer if siege teams start getting more coordinated. But it is always going to take more than a few people to do it. But right now mostly a big group roles up. hopefully they group remembers to focus down the oil before hitting the door and hopefully someone remembered to pick up a flaming ram blueprint. and then hopefully 4 people have supplies so it can even be built. There are also usually lots of defenders on the walls. So no, a couple of people will not roll up and take an object. At least I haven't seen that happen. Also depending on what you are going after, there are also often walls that can be broken down. Terrain is also a big factor. lots of choke points. and as I mentioned above with the supply depots and caravans. you may also have to defend against hit and run groups.
3) I haven't noticed any lag and I am on a gforce 275

The sad thing i can remember names in pvp from when they use to be just server based. Had so much fun seeing a hated pali or annoying hunter night after night. To me that was more fun than getting paired up randomly. Just another face in the crowd instead of a mortal enemy from a rival guild.

DAoC had a open world which allowed ganking ppl. that isnt possible in GW2 since u can not attack ppl outside of pvp instances.

And that is why DAoC is a different style of game. GW2 was designed to be more casual and the folks who play it can decide when and where they want to "gank" or be "ganked". WvWvW is the area you can make that choice.

it reminds me alot of early daoc rvr. I dont know if its better or worse yet as i havent played enough rvr. Of course i havent played daoc for years so that game could be totally different now.
i find it to be a great game and for 60 bucks..its well worth taking a shot at it.

Daoc had an open workday that let you gank people ON ONE SINGLE SERVER - mordred
The vast majority of daoc servers had 3 segregated pve continents that were for one realm only and were gank free, with a 4th rvr continent for consensual pvp.
Daoc wasn't a ffa pvp game, except on mordred.
It also had a coop server which was just pve and you could pve on each others continents.
So gw2 isn't that different to daoc in that regard.

2- The siege battle are effective, with many types of siege gear available. They all do different things, of course.
2- Doors and walls on keeps and towers. There are other objectives though, like bridge sentries and supply routes and camps.
2-Keeps and towers are well defended and can be upgraded, but a large group can take one down in about 5-10 minutes depending. A solo person isn't likely taking any objectives except maybe a lone supply runner.
3-I never had lag in WvW until yesterday. Now I have it every once in a while. Some people complain about it ALL the time. I've not experienced that issue.
For the Coast!

Daoc & gw2 are persistent pvp games where you face off against players for an evenings play.
So in daoc you did get to "know thy enemy"
You sort if did in wow too, but only if they were regulars and before they started xserver instancing.

Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sara_d perfect size This purse is big enough to fit everything I need, and then some, but it's not too big or bulky. The leather is super soft and has a vintage look. The quality of the product is excellent, and reasonably priced. I'm in love! 1.30.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by aikosatsuki Great Bag It is cute and great quality. I really wish FreePeople has all the other colours of the bag in stock. I would love to buy other colours. Hopefully FreePeople will have more stock soon! 11.28.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SimpleHappy Lovely crossbody I have it in brown floral. The quality is great, size is great if you don't want to carry a lot of things with you but capacious enough for bottle of water or small umbrella. Snap closure is comfortable and secure. I'm happy about this purchase. 8.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sueandnick1 Great little bag. Purchased the floral bag and love it. Perfect size for all my essential items and very well made. Design is very cute too. 6.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by noish Lovely! I bought this bag in black and it's gorgeous! Had a bit of trouble with the post (I live in Australia) but it was worth the extra time. Slightly smaller than I expected but has a lot of space, and it's also very soft. The pattern on the sides comes looking distressed, and just the right amount :) I have needed a new bag for awhile and I cannot comment on the quality of this, as I just received it, but it appears to be pretty well-made. I may even buy the brown floral pattern one too! 5.31.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by irina_xs Awesome bag! I have it in both colors (the taupe and the brown floral one), and both are amazing! The quality is great, and the look is very unique. I have got so many compliments on these bags! The material they are made of is very soft and pleasant to the touch, however, it does not look like real leather to me. I am very pleased with the purchase, and happy I was able to grab the brown floral combination before it was completely sold out. 3.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by buttercup Really cool bag! Saw it in store today and it's a really awesome bag. The only thing is it has a snap closure and I'd prefer something a little more secure. I don't believe this is leather which is pretty great. I'm always in the market for cool, vegan bags and this is the coolest one yet. Free People, please double check the material and confirm so I can add it to my collection! 2.5.2013

The Missouri Tigers football program takes its name from a citizen brigade formed during the Civil War to protect the citizens of Columbia, Missouri Tigers from roving bands of plunderers. Missouri football takes this legacy seriously. One of only 39 teams in all college football to win more than 500 games, winning 12 conference championships, fielding 23 All-Americans and 11 members of the College Football Hall of Fame, the Tigers are one of most storied, yet underestimated, football programs in the country. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Missouri Tigers football tickets.
There might not have been a bigger surprise or success story in 2013 than the Missouri Tigers. Gary Pinkel and company quieted any critics that they may have had in the SEC, as the team stormed through their conference schedule, finishing 3 points away from going undefeated in the regular season. A win over Oklahoma State in the Cotton Bowl cemented the Tigers as one of top programs in the country for the season. The offseason saw a number of talented players exit Columbia for the NFL draft, including James Franklin, Michael Sam, Justin Britt, and Kony Ealy. However, the 2014 Tigers roster will not be without talent. Maty Mauk will finally get his shot to be an every down starter and will have a trio of senior receivers to dish the ball to. Much of Missouri's success last season was due to their fantastic defensive line. Expect that high level of play to continue with seniors Markus Golden, Vincent Lucas, and Matt Hoch headlining a very talented squad. Key games of the season for Missouri will be at South Carolina, Georgia, and at Texas A&M.
Check out our Missouri Tigers Season Preview History page for previews of previous Tigers seasons.
The Missouri Tigers play their home games at Faurot Field, also known as Memorial Stadium or the Zou in Columbia, Missouri. The stadium can hold more than 70,000 spectators. Its most well recognized feature is the white "M" made of stones behind the endzones. Visiting schools have traditionally tried to change the letter to an "N" for Nebraska or a "K" for Kansas. A Mizzou Tigers home game this season will be an unforgettable experience. The Missouri Tigers home bench is on the Faurot Field sideline with sections AA-TT. Faurot Field parking information is covered in our Tigers event guide.
Kansas Jayhawks
The rivalry game between the Jayhawks and Tigers is known as the Border War, and thus it's played in Kansas City, which is carved in half at the Kansas and Missouri state line. Both of these schools and their fans can't stand losing against the other, and for a while they won't have the opportunity as Mizzou bolted for the SEC.
After 15 years in the Big 12 the Tigers made the move to the powerhouse SEC in 2012 and are already making noise. With close to 30-bowl game appearances and 15 conference titles the Missouri Tigers certainly have the pedigree to compete in the SEC. Ticketcity offers tickets to all college football bowl games and the SEC Championship Game.
Children under two years of age are allowed in the stadium without a ticket, but must sit on the lap of their parent during the game.
Gates open 1.5 hours prior to kickoff.
Most of the best places to eat are north of campus, including Shotgun Pete's BBQ. No trip to Columbia is complete without a bite at Shakespeare's Pizza.
I had never purchased bowl game tickets online. The buying process was easy, thank you!Barbara - Kansas City, MO

"I want to go out there and bring a lot of pressure and break him."
Don't think he will be breaking him when he takes a nap on him...
Interesting to see how Woodly does seeing he made a hell of a impression in his last fight
Lost his last 2 in this weight class, got busted cheating like a bitch in his last fight and he wants a top 5????
Goodbye Mr. Burton
All in the reflexes
Anderson Silva 5: TRT USERS 0 Hendo - Forrest - Nate - Chael... twice
I still want to know what exactly he got busted for. My best guess is that it wasn't a steroid nor some kind of diuretic. I think he took something like xanax, weed, or painkillers... due to depression caused by losing his father.
I lol'd when Shields said he had better striking. Jake, you have NO STRIKING. Everyone's striking is better than yours. I hope Woodley knocks the entitlement outta this guy.
I think woodley takes this. I saw him a few months back at a grappling tourney. Man is he solid for a 170 pound man. I was surprised when he knocked heiron's block off. I think shields is in trouble b/c this fight takes place where Tyrone wants it to and I don't believe shields when he says he is a better striker. War MU! You better call Tyrone! You better pick up the phone (from a comedy routine but I can't remember which one)

Rated 3 out of 5Â by stephaniiiii risky business I loved these before I tried them on. I decided to pass on these due to the placement of the holes- I kind of thought I could potentially end up pretty embarrassed in the right set of circumstances if one grew larger.- The denim used on these is pretty thin so the likelihood of that happening is pretty good. 7.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by punkrocker perfect for us tall girls! FINALLY a pair of shorts that is long enough to cover my bum, but short enough to be sexy! What an awesome pair of shorts, totally wearing these to all my summer festivals. Size 29 fits well, if you wanted to go down a size, it wouldn't hurt. Thanks FP! 3.30.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by labm9c can't wait to wear! I had my eyes on these for awhile, and when I realized they were on sale I bought them right away. I got the turquoise ones and I LOVE THEM! I'm usually a size 8 (5'9" 140lb) and the 28 fit perfectly--tight in all the right places. These are a great addition to my wardrobe. Now I just need it to warm up so I can start wearing them on the reg. 2.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by kathyh316 LOVE THESE i ordered these online a couple of weeks ago and am obsessed with them! they're the first high waisted shorts i've ever had, and they fit so well! i love tucking shirts into them and think they're pretty versatile. i bought the marigold color, and the print is a little more subdued than in the picture, which is fine. i would highly recommend buying these even if you're on the fence, they're well worth the money :) 10.10.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kathleenh Good, but very short Mine aren't as high rise, and they are very short. I have a larger bum, and it is pretty visible through the rips. I like em though. 9.23.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by IrinaKur Could be better I have these marygold shorts. The denim is very thin and they are a bit darker than pictured. 9.16.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by krockhold Overall, good buy. I originally bought these in turquoise, but upon opening the package, I was stunned by how...neon...they were. They were a little too bright for my taste. Also the pattern is a little too "tacky hawaiian hotel cushion" for me. But, if you're into that kind of thing, knock yourself out. However, I loved the overall style of them, so I returned them for the marigold color, and also sized down. I normally go between a size 26-27, it really just depends on the jeans. I went for a 26 with these. For reference: I'm 5'5", 125lbs. I have a bubble butt, and these cover up my cheekers nicely ;) I loved the Marigold color much more, so that's my recommendation! 8.29.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LizzieBelle Summer Favorite I have been wearing these shorts all summer, in the blue/pink combo, and I absolutely love them. I am not a super matchy matchy person so I find it very easy to find pieces to pair them with. They do run a little bit larger, especially if you were hoping for them to fit like they do on the model...but they have a comfortable fit right at the hip if you get your normal size. Definitely recommend! 8.19.2012

To The Editor:
As the owner of a local business I was thrilled to read Win Smith's uplifting article, "Talk positively about what is good and getting better in The Valley." Although I have endured financial struggle this past year, I do recall how fabulous business was the winter prior to last.
At times I have been optimistic and other times desperate and given in to negativity. In my struggle, I have learned that negativity only feeds on itself and, consequently, things only get worse.
There are leaders and there are followers. There are those that make things happen and those that simply talk about making things happen. The responsibility of the entrepreneur is to stay true to his or her business and lend assertion and dedication necessary to rise above the hard times.
I recently considered leaving the Mad River Valley to relocate my business to Stowe, where things appear to be thriving. With conflict at hand, I stepped back to think about how much I love the town I live in and how fortunate I am to be here. Like a good athlete, I play a fair game and take pride in winning. Only optimism and perseverance can sunder the chains of negative desperation.
In conclusion, I'd like to thank Win Smith for planting a positive seed in my thinking. It is time we get together and start talking more positively about how we can manifest positive change to ensure more prosperous business for all.

Due to the high cost of healthcare in the U.S., we strongly advise all scholars and their family members to have health insurance for their duration of stay in the U.S.
When looking for a doctor, it's always helpful to ask people you know for recommendations. Possibly, someone in your department at NYU will be able to recommend someone, or a friend who has visited or lived in the city may know of one. Also, the NYU Medical Center of NYU's School of Medicine is affiliated with a number of doctors and hospitals in the city.
NOTE: NYU's University Health Center on Broadway at the Washington Square campus is primarily a resource for students. Full-time employees can use the center at times for immunization shots or vision care.

Throwdown in H-Town
There's been a growing number of Bullies in the Houston area as of late. The result of the sudden BOOM of Brazilian Jiujitsu places, Muay Thai, and MMA joints popping up everywhere perhaps? Whatever the case maybe there should be enough people in our neck of the woods to permit for a decent sized Throwdown. I know a lot of our TX brethren are willing to travel the 2-4 hours it takes to get down to Houston that alone will add to the slowly growing number.
A few things have to be answered before this whole thing can get under way. Who'd be interested in attending, when would it be best for everyone and where could we host this thing?

Hello gentlemen,
My name is Daniel Duran, I live in H-town and I have been to a couple of throwdowns in Austin, in fact I went to this past weekends TD. My experience with the bullies in Austin has been very positive. So far I've only met martial artists who demonstrate first class etiquetts. I would love to get a regular TD going here in Houston.
The facility can vary, obviosly the more mat space we have the better so that folks can work their ground game and some can work on their stand up and no one has to wait around. But I've heard of TDs where they set up some puzzle mats in someones back yard and go at it. So anything is possible is seems so long as folks understand what to expect. The school where I train is in the midst of moving to a larger facility and changing management organizations. We should be moved in to our new place end of July/Early August. I am hoping shortly after we get settled in I can host TDs there. We are going to have 2 seperate training floors, one will be around 660 sqrft and the other just over 1000, so we should be able to have a good time mixing it up. Maybe September might work, if not then October is very likely. But between now and then I am up for a TD anytime, any place.
I have been traing with Meng's Martial Arts for 4 years now. I have competed as a san shou fighter for our school the last 2 years. I am more than happy to offer as much input and help as I can to get this organized.
Your Ever Well Wisher,

There are two san shou tournaments I am aware of in Texas: the Taiji Legacy hosts an international san shou tournament and the HIMAC & USAWKF National Championships in Stafford has hosted san shou tournaments. BUT this year both organizations have cancelled the tournaments due to the Beijing Olympics.

Your Ever Well Wisher,
Depending on timing, I may be able to make it from Austin. The biggest problem for me is that my wife's Mom, my parents, my older brother and my youngest sister all live in Houston, so Houston trips usually entail having to spend a lot of time with family. I might be able to sneak off, though, so that Daniel can punch me in the face some more.

That is spectacular. That really is. Thanks for offering up your place for this sort of thing. I know that I really doubt that I could convince my coach to let me borrow the Gym to spar with people I've never met before for a few hours on a Saturday. Definitely keep your offer open if we can't find a place to do it sooner. I'm good for September, October may be a bit more difficult since that's the end of the quarter at the plant and I'm not a 100% settled on whether or not I'm going to be staying there by that point so I'll try to work this around all my personal issues.
One thing though I forgot to mention in the initial post is who can we count on to bring a camera who can post up the videos. Preferably more than one person in case someone doesn't show. I'm pretty sure I can get one, but I have to double check if its capable of letting me upload stuff to my computer.
