Introducing the Bliss Cargo pant from Landau's Smart Stretch Collection! This modern-fit elastic back, drawstring front pant features two hip pockets and two cargo pockets with basket weave seaming detail. The slim, flare leg silhouette features a notched hem.
Great pants, but don't really fit as slim as the photo looks. love how soft they are and the color black is just the right shade. I got XS and it was still a little big
Good quality overall. I wish I got a smaller size though as they were pretty baggy. I'd recommend going a little smaller if you have to choose because they stretch too. Length is good and I am 5'11

SWCVI: Mark Hamill
Some fans waited in line for 6 hours. And even though the theater reached capacity an hour before the panel, hordes of people waited outside with one hope: to see Mark Hamill. I've never seen Mark Hamill in person. I've watched him hundreds of times in the Star Wars films, I've hung his photos on my wall, and as a kid I hoped to one day marry him. So after years of wishing and daydreaming, I rushed into the theater, plopped down into a seat, and prepared myself to see Luke Skywalker in person.

Bernanke Should Follow the Advice He Gave to Japan
Benn Steil and Dinah Walker explain why the Fed's massive holdings of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are distorting its thinking about the conduct of monetary policy going forward. They propose a novel plan to rectify this, in which the Fed swaps its MBS with the Treasury in return for Treasury securities, which the Fed can sell as part of a normal "exit" from monetary stimulus.

Review Sheet 2 for Test #1 -- TRANSPORT IN ANIMALS B Circulatory Systems
Simplest animals (sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, roundworms) have no circulatory system; exchange is directly through skin or from digestive system
Components of Circulatory System: pump (heart) with vessels; blood
open circulatory system (insects) B low pressure, slow flow; independent of respiratory system
may have auxiliary pumps to help move blood through legs
closed circulatory system (annelids, vertebrates) B high pressure, rapid flow; necessary for rapid
delivery/removal of respiratory gases (O2 and CO2)
Functions of Circulatory System: (see page 906)
Blood B plasma: about 55%; cells: about 45%
Plasma with ions, nutrients, majority of CO2, wastes, hormones and proteins
Protein components include: transport proteins, clotting proteins, antibodies, albumins
Cells or Formed Elements: red and white blood cells, platelets; all formed in red bone marrow
1. Red blood cells (RBC=s; erythrocytes): small biconcave discs, good for squeezing through
capillaries as well as rapid exchange. Loaded with hemoglobin (Hb); O2 binds to Fe+ in heme; four
subunits to Hb. With 250 million Hb molecules per RBC, that means one RBC can carry one billion
molecules of O2!
During formation, initially have lots of ribosomes and mitochondria, but lose virtually all organelles
(including nucleus) before being released into the blood stream.
2. White blood cells (WBC=s; leukocytes): fight off infection; some phagocytotic, some produce antibodies
3. Platelets (thrombocytes): direct virtually all aspects of blood clotting
The Heart B receiving chamber: atrium; pumping chamber B ventricle
Evolution of the heart
Fish B two-chambered heart; blood through gills out to body and back
Amphibians B three-chambered heart: two atria and one ventricle. Both circuits (see below) have a
respiratory organ (lung & skin), so both circuits oxygenate.
Most reptiles B nearly four-chambered heart, with partial divider between the ventricles; keeps partial
separation between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
Crocodiles, birds and mammals B four-chamber heart. Completely separate pulmonary and systemic
circuits for separating oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
One-way valves between atria and ventricles, as well as
between ventricles and large arteries they feed.
Atrioventricular and semilunar respectively; closing of valves makes heart sounds.
Anatomy of the Human heart B Pathway for blood flow through the heart
Pulmonary Circuit B blood enters from right atrium into right ventricle through tricuspid valve, right ventricle
then pumps blood into pulmonary arteries through pulmonary semilunar valve, out to capillaries
in lungs for gas exchange (O2 in and CO2 out), back through pulmonary veins to left atrium.
Systemic Circuit B blood enters left ventricle from left atrium through bicuspid (mitral) valve, left ventricle
then pumps blood out into aorta through aortic semilunar valve, to all organs through many
branching arteries and smaller arterioles, into capillary beds for exchange of nutrients/wastes and gases
(O2 out and CO2 in), back through the veins into two large veins B the superior (drains head and
thorax) and inferior (drains body below diaphragm) vena cavae, which drain into the right atrium
Both ventricles contract together, so same amount of blood leaves both left and right ventricle with each beat.
Left ventricle pumps with greater pressure, however.
Cardiac Output = Stroke volume X Heart rate
Intrinsic conduction system -- nerve-like fibers that allow heart to beat independently:
Sinoatrial (SA) node B intrinsic pacemaker of the heart; sets pace, stimulates atria
Atrioventricular (AV) node B delays impulse from SA node (briefly), stimulates ventricles
Bundle/Purkinje fibers -- pass impulse to ventricular walls
can be modified by nervous connections and hormones
Blood pressure (B.P.) B force for transport; generated by contraction of the ventricles
Important aspects:
Blood moves through the circulatory system due to a pressure gradient B highest in the large arteries, drops off precipitously in the arterioles and capillaries, low in the veins.
Capillary function B Exchange takes place here; basically the whole point of having a
types: continuous and fenestrated
precapillary sphincters in arterioles controls flow
two pressures are involved in exchanges at the capillaries B blood pressure forcing fluid out, and osmotic pressure drawing fluid back in
Lymphatic system B returns fluid lost at capillaries to circulatory system
vessels dead ended with lots of mini-valves to interstitial fluid
nodes cleanse the fluid, site of WBC proliferation to fight infection

- people in the U.S. have this name View Grace Durbin on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From the abstract noun (via Old French, from Latin gratia), this name occurs occasionally in the 15th century, and by the 1540s was among the most popular girls' names in some parishes. It has always been particularly popular in Scotland and northern England (borne, for example, by Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper's daughter whose heroism in 1838, saving sailors in a storm, caught the popular imagination). In more recent times it was famous as the name of the actress Grace Kelly (1928–82), who became Princess Grace of Monaco. In Ireland it is used as an Anglicized form of Gráinne.
|317th in the U.S.
French: patronymic from the personal name Urbain, a vernacular form of Urbanus (see Urban).

Palmetto Primary Care Physicians will launch a new in-house health insurance plan next month for its employees because BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina's rates have become too expensive, the group's CEO said Tuesday.
The in-house plan will reduce health insurance costs for the practice's 600 employees by as much as 85 percent per pay period, said spokeswoman Vivian Barajas.
"The savings on my end is over 50 percent," she said. "It's kind of like getting a mini-raise for us."
The new plan will not be offered to patients who visit the practice. It is available only for employees, such as doctors, nurses, physicians assistants and administrators, who work there. Patients covered by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina can continue to see their Palmetto Primary Care Physician provider and will not be affected by this change.
"When I came here from out of town, I was sort of stunned at the cost of the health care coverage here for the group," said Palmetto Primary Care Physicians CEO Jeff Lehrich, who joined the practice this year.
The employer contribution per month was already, on average, $1,200 a month for each employee, he said. The rates for a high-deductible plan were too much for many of the group's employees to even afford the coverage. Then, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina announced it would raise its rates.
"I was like 'forget this,' " Lehrich said. "I'm not going to do this."
A spokeswoman for BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina said the company is the most cost-efficient in the state.
"We are unclear how Palmetto Primary Care Physicians will achieve major cost savings in this environment," Patti Embry-Tautenhan said. "While we are always disappointed when a customer makes another coverage decision, our retention of large group customers remains consistent and is at or above national benchmarks."
Barajas said the in-house plan covers many of the same benefits that the group's BlueCross BlueShield plan covered — and at a lower cost.
Wellness and preventive medicine will be covered for free — a requirement under the federal Affordable Care Act. Health care provided by Palmetto Primary Care Physicians will be covered 100 percent too, although a standard co-payment will apply to those services. The co-pay for the patient's primary care provider will be $25. For a specialist, it will be $50.
The in-house health insurance plan also will cover 90 percent of the cost of services delivered at Trident Health hospitals and 70 percent of the cost of services at East Cooper Medical Center. The physicians group is still negotiating to include Roper St. Francis Healthcare hospitals in the network.
Employees who need to insure only themselves will realize the most savings per pay period, Barajas said. Employees who need to insure their spouses and children will save money each pay period, too, but not as much. The in-house plan is at least 55 percent cheaper than the BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina equivalent, she said.
Part of the reason insurance rates are increasing can be blamed on the federal Affordable Care Act, which now requires plans to cover many preventive services that were not mandatory before, he said.
But comparing health insurance plans available before and after Jan. 1, when many of the federal law's reforms go live, is difficult, Lehrich said, because many insurance industry rules are changing.
"It's apples and oranges," he said.
The law also allows children to remain on their parent's plan until they are 26 and prevents insurance companies from denying coverage to customers with pre-existing conditions.
"All those things cost money," Lehrich said. "I suspect one of the other reasons prices are pretty significantly high here is this lack of competition."
BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, the state's largest insurance company, dominates the market in South Carolina.
In 2011 the company commanded an estimated 93 percent of the large group health insurance market, 70 percent of the small group market, and 55 percent of the individual market in the state, according to data compiled by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Frank Knapp, president of the S.C. Small Business Chamber of Commerce, applauded Palmetto Primary Care Physicians for pushing back against a rate hike.
"They're in a great spot," Knapp said. "It's sort of like if you have your own auto mechanic shop. Are you going to send your car to get fixed somewhere else? No, you're going to do it yourself."
He said other businesses, particularly small ones, aren't so lucky. They'll have to either shoulder the extra burden or drop coverage for their employees.
"The rates are going to go up," Knapp said, but it's not fair, he said, to blame the Affordable Care Act completely.
"The detractors of Obamacare are going to blame any type of an increase on Obamacare," he said. "Look back 15 years. Whose insurance was going down? Nobody's."
Lehrich said Palmetto Primary Care Physician's in-house plan may be available for other businesses in the Lowcountry early next year.
Reach Lauren Sausser at 937-5598.
Family Nurse Practitioner Anna Smith and Dr. Alice Savage work on charting patient cases at Palmetto Primary Care Physicians on Tuesday. Palmetto Primary Care Physicians is launching a new in-house health insurance plan.×

The result is my Facebook status updates are mostly about broader life events while my Twitter updates are primarily work related.
It's a bit more work, but I find that my friends and family members are now actually reading my Facebook updates (and commenting on them) rather than dismissing them as "more of Alan's work-related geekery." And since I finally figured out how to link Facebook to Delicious, I can share articles I like without overwhelming people, since Facebook posts them as a list. (A trick I learned from Noah Brier, who I often joke serves as my personal online librarian.)
Not sure if this is a harbinger of things to come or my own personal tic, but curious to hear how others are bridging the gap.

ATLANTA,GA (WWAY) — Javonte Maynor hit a three-pointer in overtime to put Georgia
State ahead and the Panthers made free throws down the stretch to seal a
63-58 overtime victory over UNC Wilmington Wednesday at the GSU Sports
The hard-fought victory snapped Georgia State's seven-game losing
streak, improving the Panthers to 9-13 overall, 4-8 in the Colonial
Athletic Association. UNCW fell to 10-13, 4-8 CAA.
Four Panthers scored in double figures, led by Eric Buckner with 18
points and seven rebounds. Buckner's bucket tied the game at 52-all in
regulation, and then the 6-10 post player came up with a steal on the
other end with 11 seconds left. GSU's Jihad Ali missed a three-pointer
at the buzzer to force the extra session.
"We had some guys down the stretch make some plays tonight,"
commented head coach Rod Barnes. "I thought guys like Javonte Maynor
and Josh Micheaux stepped up and did some big things for us tonight. It
was a great win for our team."
In the overtime, Maynor's trey put the Panthers ahead, 57-54, with
1:34 to play, and the Panthers made six of eight free throws in the
final 34 seconds to seal the victory.
Josh Micheaux scored a career-high 15 points, along with seven rebounds
and four steals for Georgia State. Maynor finished with 11 points and
four assists, and James Fields added 10 points.
The Seahawks rallied from a 13-point deficit in the second half to take
their first lead of the game at 47-46 on a three-pointer by Chad Tomko
with four minutes left. After a GSU free throw, Trevor Deloach nailed
another trey for a 50-47 UNCW lead.
After Fields hit one of two free throws for GSU, Micheaux's steal and
layup tied the game at 50-all with 1:35 to play. UNCW regained the lead
on a pair of Tomko free throws with 1:11 left before Buckner's tying
The GSU defense forced 20 turnovers and held UNCW to just 30.5 percent
shooting from the field, including a 4-for-20 outing Tomko, the all-CAA
guard. Tomko finished with 19 points, and Trevor Deloach, who hit the
game-winning shot against the Panthers last month in Wilmington, had a
career-high 23 points and 12 rebounds.
All five Panther starters played at least 36 minutes in the game, as
UNC Wilmington's bench outscored State's, 25-2. The Seahawks also
held the advantage on the boards, outrebounding State 45-33.

Building a profitable PPC campaign is not an easy task. You have to be pro-active, monitor the data stats at regular intervals and make sure that everything is under control because even a minor change (mistake) in your PPC campaign can ruin the performance of your overall campaign and convert it into an expensive disaster. Here in this article we'll highlight some of the most important things that you should never do while managing your PPC campaigns.
By David Smith
Not thinking like a user while writing your ad copy – Write your ad copy from the view point of a buyer instead of from the view point of a seller. You've a limited number of characters to use so use them properly. Ask yourself why a user will click on your ad or what could be the reason due to which a user doesn't prefer to click on your ad. Don't overlook the importance of emotional triggers while creating your ad copy. Instead of speaking what you want to say in your ad copy focus on what your audience wants to listen.
Using broad match only – If you are using only broad match option (which is also a default option in Google adwords) for all your keywords then you are wasting lot of your money in buying irrelevant and low quality traffic. That said, you should not ignore the broad match completely because it can help you to identify some good keywords which you might have overlooked in your keyword research. Make you campaign a balanced combination of all three matching options.
Treating landing pages as a separate issue – Landing page are integral part of your online campaign so don't treat them as a separate thing. The success and failure of your online campaign depends on the quality of your landing page. So next time if conversion rate of your campaign is not good, try to improve your landing pages first before changing your ad copy.
Not updating your negative keywords list – Update your negative keywords lists at a regular basis even if you are happy with the overall results. Use search query performance report feature at the regular basis and find out the search queries that triggered your ad and put the irrelevant keywords in your negative keywords.
Giving more importance to CTR rate that conversion rate – An ad with high click through rate doesn't mean that it would be having the highest conversion rate too. The main reason due to which ad doesn't convert despite of getting enough searches is the irrelevancy. Tune such ads and make them relevant to your landing pages and to the services you offer.
Getting satisfied with results and to stop testing – Don't get satisfied with the performance of your campaigns and stop testing. There is always a scope of improvement. There would always be some underperforming keywords attracting irrelevant traffic, some underperforming ad copies and landing pages which don't convert well. Check your search query reports at regular basis and identify the underperformers and improve them.
Ignoring Ad scheduling feature – View your search query performance report at the hourly basis to find out at what time of day your ad performs well. Schedule your ads for the more converting hours. Also you can adjust your bids for specific hours on basis of these reports. For e.g. – If your ads perform well between 9 pm to 11 pm then you can increase your bids for these hours.
Using default device settings – By default Google will show your ad on all devices including mobile devices. Opt out from this feature if the majority of your target audience doesn't have internet capable mobile phones or your call to action link wants them to fill a long form which is hard to do from mobile phones.

MLG Anaheim: This eSporting Life
By Charles Lam
Now, he had dreadlocks. Muscles filled out his arms.
Atkins found comfort in his grandmother and moved in with her after spending some months with Mims.
Big Mama offered advice: Ignore the gossip. People whispered that he was "institutionalized," that a return to prison was inevitable. But it was time, she said, for him to move on. God knew the truth.
Atkins was broke and needed work. His stepfather gave him a Nissan 300ZX, and on outings to run errands, Big Mama would pay to fill up the tank.
When a family friend told him about an administrative opening at a real-estate firm, he discovered he could not meet basic requirements—he did not know how to operate a computer. He had a 14-year hole in his résumé, and though he was innocent, the rape conviction popped up in background checks.
At home, loved ones began to understand how his wrongful conviction had altered him. Before prison, "everybody was crazy about Herman," Mims remembers. "He was a real funny type of guy; he liked rapping, had lots of friends and just—really fun to be around."
But, she says, "jail has changed that. He won't trust until you've earned it, and he will shut you out."
Fairs, theme parks and other places where crowds convened made Atkins anxious, reminding him of prison yards. At restaurants, he positioned himself to face exits so he could monitor comings and goings—and escape, if need be.
He spent long afternoons talking with his second son. Frequently, they spoke about school, with Atkins questioning the adolescent's poor attendance. The boy related he "couldn't compete," that in math, for instance, he could not memorize his times tables, Atkins recalls.
He hoped the boy would persevere, but Atkins had been gone too long. His absence during the boy's childhood rose as a source of tension, and soon, the youth left school and landed in jail, Atkins says. "I feel as though he never had a chance to live a quality of life that I would have given him had what happened to me not took place," he laments.
As he struggled to counsel his son, Atkins watched his mother deteriorate. He remembered her as a vibrant woman, upbeat and spirited, with a smile that "would light up the world." He recalled skin the color of caramel candy and rich, dark hair that brushed the shoulders of a strong, medium frame.
The woman who greeted Atkins after his freedom was aged and weathered, with hair that had thinned and whitened and dark bags under her eyes.
"The smile I remembered so much, it was just a cut in her face where her lips would normally be," he says. "She didn't have the desire to smile."
She checked into the hospital soon after Atkins' return. The doctor said she had esophageal cancer. She died early one morning in July 2001. "It wasn't fair," he says, crying. "And I understand that life is not always fair, but it wasn't fair for me. . . ."
The funeral took place on a warm, sunny day at Inglewood Cemetery. His mother was to be cremated, and Atkins informed his siblings he wanted to keep her remains.
"He told us that since we had Mama all those years, that it would only be fair that he have her ashes," recalls his sister Regina Holmes. "And that took us a while to get through to him that it's only fair that she be at peace in the cemetery."
* * *
Atkins says he was determined to not allow grief and anger to dictate the terms of his existence. Smart decisions—no drugs, no gangs, no gambling—had helped him survive behind bars. The same approach could help him thrive in freedom.
He engaged in a whirlwind of activity. Cochran, Neufeld & Scheck, a high-powered civil-rights law firm led by celebrity attorney Johnnie Cochran Jr. and Innocence Project co-founders Neufeld and Scheck, agreed in 2000 to represent Atkins in a civil lawsuit against Riverside County.
Lawyers reviewing police reports, trial transcripts and other documents relating to his 1988 conviction uncovered potential misconduct in the county's handling of Atkins' criminal case. It seemed possible, for instance, that Danny Miller, a sheriff's detective, had fabricated evidence.
Atkins hoped that new court proceedings would expose the truth. Plus, the payoff could be huge.
But preparations took years. While waiting, Atkins focused on other goals. In 2000, he began studying psychology at Los Angeles Southwest College, with the state covering tuition. The cruelty he had witnessed in the penitentiary had made him wonder about the human mind. He wanted to understand.
Many exonerees he encountered were hostile and bitter. He wanted to know what he could do to encourage them to live again.
"You have guys who refuse to take another step, in hopes of society giving back to them every day that they had took. . . . These guys [needed] help," Atkins says. "If someone was going to give it to them, it had to be me."

2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 performance specifications announced
Accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds
Chevrolet has announced detailed performance specifications for the 2014 Corvette Z51.
During testing, the model was able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and run the quarter mile in 12 seconds flat. The coupe also pulled 1.03 g on the skid pad and went from 60-0 mph in just 107 feet (32.6 meters). Last but not least, the Z51 lapped Virginia International Raceway's 4.2 mile (6.7 km) long Grand Course in just 2:51.78 which is nearly seven seconds faster than the Camaro 1LE.
Like the standard model, the Corvette Z51 is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine that develops 455 bhp (339 kW) and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque.
The Z51 Performance Package costs $2,800 and includes aerodynamic styling tweaks, an electronic limited-slip differential, a dry-sump oiling system and an upgraded cooling system. The test car was also equipped with Magnetic Ride Control which adds $1,795 to the Corvette's base price of $51,995.
Corvette Stingray: 3.8 seconds from 0 to 60 mph
Turns in 2:51.8 lap at Virginia International Raceway 'Grand Course'
DETROIT – Chevrolet released official performance estimates today for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, the most capable standard Corvette ever. Equipped with the available Z51 Performance Package, the new Stingray is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, braking from 60 to 0 in 107 feet, and sustaining 1.03 g in cornering.
Cumulatively, the acceleration, cornering and braking capability of the Corvette Stingray enabled it to lap the Virginia International Raceway's (VIR) 4.2-mile "Grand Course" in 2:51.78.
"For the new Stingray, we set out to elevate every aspect of the Corvette's performance," said Tadge Juechter, Corvette chief engineer. "Considered alone, the acceleration, braking and cornering performance of the Corvette Stingray is truly impressive. More significant is how well they work together, resulting in a lap time at VIR that places the new Stingray in the upper echelon of all sports cars."
The lap around VIR was conducted in Stingray equipped with the available Z51 Performance Package and Magnetic Ride Control. The vehicle that conducted the lap was modified only with safety features like a racing seat and harness, and fire extinguisher system.
"The new Stingray constantly communicates feedback to the driver, which makes you feel incredibly confident behind the wheel," said Jim Mero, Corvette vehicle dynamics engineer. "That confidence encourages you to attack each corner because the Stingray drives so well: the tire grip is incredible; the steering response is some of the best I've ever experienced; the Magnetic Ride dampers allow little body roll through the corner, while still soaking up the rumble strips when you clip the apex," he said. "It's just addictive on the track."
The 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe goes on sale in the third quarter of 2013 for a suggested starting retail price of $51,995, excluding tax, title, and license fees. The $2,800 Z51 Performance Package includes an electronic limited-slip differential; dry-sump oiling system; integral brake, differential and transmission cooling; as well as a unique aero package that further improves high-speed stability. Magnetic Ride Control with Performance Traction Management is a $1,795 option. A Corvette Stingray equipped like the test car used at VIR would cost $56,590.

There's a party Saturday — and everyone's invited.
If we are truly observant, we can see Jesus Christ acting in people's lives locally and around the world! When we are attentive to the spiritual life, we will be awed at the sheer immensity of the Christian faith!
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! — Philippians 2:5-11 (NIV)
Prayers to encourage and comfort the soul will increase my spirituality, giving me abundant life and peace. During the day, I am often confronted with many issues, some relevant to family and friends, job and coworkers or even a stranger. Therefore, I must prepare myself with the Word of God. The Word of God will lead me and guide me throughout the day.
This faith walk is modeled after a prayer activity called the Stations of the Cross.
"For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." — John, 3:16
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" — Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIV)
"Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, 'I gave birth to him in pain.' Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, 'Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.' And God granted his request." — I CHRONICLES 4:9-10
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.
Ordinarily, as a beggar, Bartimaeus would have sought to make money out of the crowd.

JACKSON TOWNSHIP — The powder was fresh at Camelback Ski Resort in Monroe County. Hundreds of people jammed the slopes, taking advantage of near-perfect skiing and snowboarding conditions, which was good for business
"I think overall we'll have a pretty busy weekend," said Brian Bossuyt. "People are excited about the snow, it's been a few years since we got this amount of snow. It's great and people are having a good time."
Those who work here at Camelback say nothing can beat natural snow, and it always helps drive customers to the mountain! But in order to get to the ski resort, many here had to travel for several hours, and at times, road conditions were less than ideal.
"We came up last night," said Mike Nickel of Philadelphia. "The latter part of the drive we kind of got caught up in it, but we got here right on time before it got too bad."
And here at Camelback, what skiers and snowboarders say they like the most about this recent snowfall is the type of snow: light and fluffy, which they say is best on the slopes.
"We are really excited," said Zach Leon of Philadelphia. "We got a great storm last night, we are staying at my buddies place, and can't wait to get down the mountain!."
In addition to snow tubing, skiing and snowboarding, Camelback was also sponsoring a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness, blending outdoor winter fun while raising money for a worthwhile cause. Jessica Bailey volunteered for the fundraiser, and for her, it's a cause that hits close to home.
"I have an aunt that has breast cancer, so I think it's always good to give back to the community and put awareness out," Bailey said. "Make sure that people know that they need to get their boobies checked!."
Winter fun and raising money for charity. That's not a bad way to make the most out of this latest winter storm.

If you watched VH1's Divas last year, you may recall presenter Kathy Griffin being called a "fire-crotch" by host Paula Abdul. Now it's Kathy's turn to dole out the jabs. VH1 is announcing that the quick-witted "D-List" comedian will serve as host of "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops," airing Dec. 5 at 9/8c. And she's already promised VH1 that she "will not hold back." Also announced: the rock quartet Grace Potter & The Nocturnals has been added to a lineup that already includes Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Sugarland, Keri Hilson and Paramore. Full press release after the jump.
Grace Potter & The Nocturnals Also Sign On To Perform
Previously Announced Katy Perry, Sugarland, Keri Hilson, Nicki Minaj and Paramore To Perform From Military Bases Around The World
The USO Presents "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" To Air On Sunday, December 5 At 9:00 PM ET/PT
Divas.VH1.com Launches With "Salute The Troops Photo Mosaic" – VH1 To Donate $1 To The USO For Every User-Submitted Photo
SANTA MONICA, CA – November 3, 2010 – Two-time Emmy award winning actress and comedian, New York Times bestselling author and Grammy® nominated performer, Kathy Griffin will host "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" from the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego, CA. Known for her candid wit, the USO tour veteran has been making audiences laugh for years discussing Hollywood gossip and celebrity blunders. Griffin is a multi-faceted performer who is sure to entertain the troops.
"After having had the honor of performing for our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, it gives me great pleasure to host an evening for them where they can really blow off some steam. I will not hold back, but I can't speak for Sugarland. It's going to be a wild night of great music and a heartfelt thank you," said Kathy Griffin.
Joining the star-studded list of performers is VH1's latest "You Oughta Know" artist – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. Previously announced performers include Katy Perry, Sugarland, Keri Hilson, Nicki Minaj and Paramore. The USO Presents "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" concert event will be televised on Sunday, December 5 at 9:00 PM ET/PT on VH1 and internationally courtesy of the Armed Forces Network. The event at MCAS Miramar will only be open to "all hands" (13 years of age or older) including active duty, reservist, retirees, DoD employees, their dependents and bona fide guests. This special concert event will not be open to the public.
The USO Presents "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops" will be an event unlike anything seen before featuring a night of unforgettable performances from various performers, presenters and special guests as well as commentary from troops stationed on the front lines and "exclusive" USO tour footage shot overseas.

Users can submit photos at Divas.VH1.com using Facebook Connect. For the latest news and details about the show, visit Divas.VH1.com and USO.org.
Premiering on VH1 in 1998, "Divas" became synonymous with some of the most memorable live female vocal performances in television history. The show quickly became a highly anticipated annual phenomenon, generating speculation among music fans and industry executives on who would be part of that year's telecast. Last year, the "Divas" franchise returned to critical acclaim after a four year hiatus, reinvigorating the franchise with the best of current female performers that included Adele, Kelly Clarkson, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Leona Lewis and Jordin Sparks.

Blige, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Chaka Khan and many more.

The DC writer sits down and talks to us about his upcoming projects!
When Isotope Comics is involved, then you know that it is a guaranteed fantastic event! The San Francisco comic book shop teamed up with Bloomingdale's in San Francisco, Details magazine and Warner Brothers to host a signing in the popular department store. The turn-out for the event was fantastic in that it allowed fans of the heralded DC writer to meet him, and have a 'Batman martini' to boot! As always, James Robinson gives us a taste of his witty British humor in addition to some insight on what he plans on working on in the future. We discuss his love for Donna Troy, in addition to his plans for the 'Blackest Night: Starman' one-shot set for release this January.
I know what you might be thinking, "Bloomingdale's? Why?" If you stop to think about it, it does seem to make a lot of sense. In fact, one can go so far as to say that it is a good reflection of the way the industry seems to be shifting. With Lady Gaga getting her own comic book (sold only at select Marc Jacobs retailers,) and Hollywood looking to comic books for inspiration and new franchises to build; it makes sense that an event like this one could take place in the high fashion forward department store. Overall, it was a fantastic event and James Robinson was an absolute pleasure to talk to. A big 'thank you' to all those people involved in putting the fantastic event together.

Stafford Rangers Youth reach Sentinel Cup final
Posted: April 02, 2014|
Keele FC 0 Stafford Rangers Youth 1
(at Stone Dominoes FC )
STAFFORD Rangers secured their second cup final of the season, winning with a goal from Mat Smith with ten minutes to go against Keele FC.
The young Marston Road outfit booked their place in the final of the Sentinel cup on Thursday May 8, at the Britannia Stadium.

Three days later Rangers will attempt to retain the County Minor Youth league cup again at Stone Dominoes ground.
Rangers know that Nantwich Town await them in the League Cup final but their opponents for the Sentinel Cup have yet to be decided with the second semi final between Audley and Meir KA due to be played next week.
Rangers latest victory came against a determined and stubborn Keele FC who defended stoutly throughout the game. The Boro held territorial advantage for long periods but Keele held out for 80 minutes.
On Stafford's left flank Alex Curtis fed Tom Vaughan who lifted a cross into the back post for Smith to head powerfully into the roof of the net from six yards out.
Keele threw players forward but could not muster a clear cut opportunity with Rangers keeper Wes Hopwood called upon to field just a right wing cross from the dangerous Sami Meir.
Jack Edwards burst clear early on for Rangers but with Smith completely unmarked on the back post he could not lift his cross successfully to provide him with a second goal.
Much of Rangers second half play was influenced by Billy Thorley returning from a broken arm at Nantwich Town just seven weeks previously and he nearly put Rangers ahead after half time with a volley which flew inches over the Keele cross bar.
Rangers also looked likely to score when Smith beat his marker to get to the bye line and crossed to the front post where Jake NIcholls was denied with a last ditch tackle.
Curtis rounded two defenders on the right but his cross just eluded the dangerous Smith while Harry Wightman and Sean Phillips had goal bound efforts at corners blocked on the line.
Keele went close to a goal in the 68th minute but a shot from Sam Golden went wide of the post.
Rangers had been held in a tight first half but again Curtis crossed to the back post twice and with the ball rolling across the six yard box no one could apply the finish.
Wightman headed a Curtis corner wide when well placed and Alex Hannan brought the save of the game out of Keele's keeper who blocked a rasping volley to his right hand side.
Hopwood was not called upon to make a save during the match but kicked well when coming out of his area to deny Sami Meir in a dangerous moment for Keele.
Rangers deserved their victory for the quality of their clean sheet and the extra threat they carried going forward but this was a typically tense semi final where high quality football was at a premium.

i wish i could say he is going to be missed by the mainstream ufc fans but he will only be Forgotten.
wow, this is shocking. the man was coming off two good wins over alan belcher and hector lombard before getting ktfo by jacare. hell okami is still ranked #6 on ufc's own rankings. how the hell do you cut a top ten fighter who's only coming off one loss?
my guess is his last fight w/ jacare was the last fight on his contract and ufc just opted not to resign him as i just can't fathom them releasing yushin and letting a guy like john albert (no offense to albert) stick around until he lost four in a row.
my guess is we see thunder in one fc before too long.
Yushin Okami Released From the UFC
Middleweight contender Yushin Okami, a staple of Zuffa's top-10 rankings for years, received his release from the UFC on Friday.
Promotion officials confirmed the news to MMAFighting.com.
Okami (29-8), the UFC's No. 6 ranked middleweight at the time of his release, departs on the heels of a brutal first-round TKO loss to former Strikeforce champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in early September. The loss snapped a three-fight win streak, which included momentum killing victories over Alan Belcher and Hector Lombard.
Dubbed "the best fighter to ever come out of Japan" by UFC President Dana White, Okami competed inside the Octagon for seven years, compiling a 13-5 record within the Zuffa fold.
After winning 10 of his first 12 UFC contests, Okami's career peaked in 2011 with a opportunity to challenge then UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Headlining the UFC's first event held in Brazil since 1998, Okami lost to Silva via second-round TKO.
Still just 32 years old, Okami exits the UFC having only stumbled against Silva, Souza, Chael Sonnen, Rich Franklin and Tim Boetsch. He holds notable victories over Mark Munoz, Nate Marquardt, Mike Swick, Evan Tanner, Belcher (x2) and Lombard.

@MMA__UK our roster is packed
— Dana White (@danawhite) September 27, 2013

Had to make room for the absolute animals like CB Dolloway and Uriah Hall......
I was being humorous.
There are at least 15 MW's who are horribly out of their league yet Okami gets let go to "make room."
Looks like I am on the next plane to Vegas.
See Fitch, Jon.
Okami will be KO'd in his next fight.
Decision Winning fighters are on their way out.

No, I'm afraid you can't get married at the US embassy. they don't perform marriages. So, unfortunately, if you can't get married under Filipino law, you won't be able to get married in the Philippines.

Product description
After their parents divorced in the 1970s, Andre Dubus III and his three siblings grew up with their exhausted working mother in a depressed Massachusetts mill town saturated with drugs and everyday violence. To protect himself and those he loved, Andre started pumping iron and learned to use his fists so well that he became the kind of man who could send others to the hospital with one punch, and did. Irresistibly drawn to stand up for the underdog, he was on a fast track to getting killed-or killing someone else. Nearby, his father, an eminent author, taught on a college campus and took the kids out on Sundays. The clash of worlds between town and gown, between the hard drinking, drugging, and fighting of "townies" and the ambitions of well-fed students debating books and ideas, couldn't have been more stark or more difficult for a son to communicate to a father. Only by finally putting pen to paper himself did young Andre come into his own, discovering the power of empathy in channeling the stories of others-and ultimately bridging the rift between his father and himself. An unforgettable book, Townie is a riveting and profound meditation on physical violence and the failures and triumphs of love.

Review quote
"You have to buy Townie." "Starred Review. Dubus chronicles each traumatic incident and realization in stabbing detail. So chiseled are his dramatic memories, his shocking yet redemptive memoir of self-transformation feels like testimony under oath as well as hard-hammered therapy, coalescing, ultimately, in a generous, penetrating, and cathartic dissection of misery and fury, creativity and forgiveness, responsibility and compassion." "Starred Review. His compassionate memoir abounds with exquisitely rendered scenes of fighting, cheating, drugging, drinking and loving. A striking, eloquent account of growing up poor and of the making of a writer." "[A] harrowing and strange and beautiful book...an important moment in the growing body of Dubus's work. " "In his memoir Townie, Andre Dubus III bravely claims all of the shadows he grew up under-his famous writer father, his parents' divorce, his newly single mother's impoverishment, the rough streets of the many working-class New England towns he called home. Fighting saved him for a while; then he put down his fists and picked up a pen. Lucky him, lucky us." "[Dubus] is such a solid writer, he redeems the genre. He shows that truth can be as honest as fiction." "His ability to describe violence might be unmatched among contemporary writers. He understands the arcane, unspoken vocabulary of how fights start, as well as the bone-crushing details of how they end. But Townie is most memorable for how vulnerable Dubus seems, once he has stripped himself down to the soul for his readers." "Dubus writes compellingly of those trying times. Townie is a poignant coming-of-age story told by a man whose raw determination allowed him to endure a boyhood ruled by violence and emerge talented enough to write about it with brutal honesty." "Townie has all the rich texture, lucid characterization, compelling conflicts and narrative momentum of the best fiction. It renders heartbreaking, violent, tender and sometimes absurdly comic scenes without a trace of narcissism or sentimentality. From first sentence to last, Dubus employs a dispassionate yet urgent voice. It allows him to do justice to his past and to the people who populated it." "Fans of Dubus's fiction will thrill to reading his muscular, occasionally lyrical prose rendering his own life." "In this powerful memoir, Andre Dubus III explores the complicated and intense relationships between siblings, mothers and sons, and fathers and sons. Growing up in hardscrabble old mill towns, Dubus learned to fight and survive and ultimately to find his own glorious voice ... as Dubus finds his redemptive place in the world at last." -- Ann Hood, author of The Red Thread "Whatever it cost Dubus to bare his soul and write this brutally honest and life-affirming memoir, it is an extraordinary gift to his readers." -- Wally Lamb, author of The Hour I First Believed

text: The Night Man wiki last edited by Thor_Ul on 02/17/15 08:42PM View full history The Night Man (Comic) V1 The Night Man is also known as Johnny Domino, a gifted San Francisco saxophonist. When A San Francisco cable car, out of control, crashes into Johny's car a fragment of shrapnel is embedded in his brain. Miraculously Johny lives and he acquires the ability to hear evil thoughts of those around him. In addition his eyes are permanently dilated, allowing Johny incredible night vision. Finally the "sleep center" in Johny's brain has been forever altered, another after effect of his accident, allowing for prolonged insomnia that is often self induced as The Night Man adjusts to the night and his new surroundings. He existed in a 'San Francisco of the mind' -San Francisco the way it would be if the cool things from all its past, like Playland-at-the-Beach, still existed today. It's the SF that held the Maltese Falcon, and the one with the Transamerica Pyramid. Through the first twelve issues (and beyond really) The Night Man was written with a 'Year One' approach that has garnered much popularity since the 1980s. Each time Johny Domino went out into the night as The Night Man he learned something about why he was doing what he did and was often able to adapt that knowledge into how he continued his mission. Johny became a carpenter when it became clear he'd need to do a little remodeling in his home to hide his costume and gear. He became a machinist when it became clear he'd need to hide a duplicate costume inside his sports car somewhere and decided to open up a portion of the floor board and install a panel behind the wheel well. The Night Man began broadcasting 'pirate radio' most nights in order to help build up the mythos of The Night Man and allow Johny to vent when needed.He'd often adapt and change his costume and gear as needed depending on where he was going, what he'd be doing, and how his gear performed the last mission out. Johny Domino was on a quest to 'rule the night' and be it's champion. He was taken a back by little that he found lurking in the shadows, often waiting for him in particular, and took the night head on. The Night Man (Comic) V2/3 The Night Man came out the other side of Black September as two distinct people.On the one hand, he was the new, more magical guy seen in Volume 2, issues 1-4 in what really wasn't a bad story under the circumstances and at the same time, he was the original guy, now lost in the Marvel Universe, where he fought Wolverine. Both were real. Johny was now living two separate lives in two separate universes. He had developed as one being until Black September, but now that one being was facing two separate sets of circumstance, and each would develop differently thereafter. This Johny Domino was a bit different.Relying more on magic and Celtic mysticism than high tech gear and gadgets this Night Man didn't become the night's champion, he surrendered to it and became one of it's creatures.As this version of The Night Man progressed Johny found him self giving into the wants and desires of other creatures he shared the night with to become more like them.At one point he finds him self actually needing to feast on others in order to sustain him self. This version of The Night Man, eventually intermingling with the Marvel Universe, never really looked at him self differently than the first version of The Night Man, simply a man in a different time and place withe different opportunities offered to him, taking him down different paths in a new life from that of his past life.The Nightman (Television) Night Man A low-budget television series was created, supposedly based on NM, although it bore little resemblance to the comic character. This Nightman (one word) developed telepathy after a lightning strike, then stole an experimental armored battlesuit that allowed him to fly and see in the dark. He also had Manimal as a guest star. No, I don't know why they did that either. The Nightman (Animation) Night Man guest starred in an episode of the Ultraforce animated series.
