Satiny smooth and sensual to the touch, they glide effortlessly through the hair.

text: This article on Prince Harry, dubbed Captain Harry Wales, details several interesting facts about the 662 Squadron (Motto: Go Ugly Early) co-pilot gunner. Namely that Prince Harry has killed Taliban insurgents. No surprise there. And the Captain also enjoys playing PlayStation and XBox. He tears his mates up at FIFA 13. He is all thumbs, which is good in both video games and the gunner business. As far as that other, prior incident, Harry graciously calls it: too much Army and not enough prince.

|Sanctuary Spa Closes, 12 Out of Work
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 06 December 2012 11:53
A dozen employees of the Sanctuary Day Spa are out of work, the business closed, with the now former employees facing joblessness less than three weeks before Christmas. But the owners of the spa, Randi and Hugh Schindler, say they are doing payroll today to pay the staff for the current pay period,
and that all with appointments for today were notified. And Hugh Schindler said that a number of the staff have new jobs, and some left a note on the door as to where they were now working. We were told by former employees that Hugh and Randi Schindler were in a number of conflicts that damaged the function of the business, and that civil actions had been filed, the latter, a point that Hugh Schindler confirmed. Now former employees told me they are busy filing for unemployment and many are left at this point with much uncertainty. Other uncertainty comes from those holding—and even just purchasing—gift cards, cards that my now be worthless, a point made by a number of callers this afternoon. If you were affected by the closing, we'd like to hear from you—call 828-414-1027.

With more than 500 career collegiate victories and as the only Division I coach to ever take five different schools to the NCAA Tournament, Lon Kruger has been leaving his trademark rebuilding stamp on college basketball programs as a head coach for 28 years. In fact, he is perhaps the greatest change agent in the sport's history.
Now beginning his fourth season at the University of Oklahoma, Kruger's reconstruction job with the Sooners has occurred faster than even some of the program's most ardent fans imagined possible.
After inheriting a program that went 27-36 (.429) in the two seasons prior to his arrival, Kruger has coached the Sooners to a 58-38 (.604) record in his three years in Norman. Over the last two campaigns, OU has posted a 43-22 (.662) mark and advanced to the NCAA Tournament both seasons. The Sooners had not been to the postseason since 2009 when they advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight.
Oklahoma is the fifth school Kruger has taken to the Big Dance. His collegiate teams have made postseason appearances in 19 of the last 24 years, and he has the storied OU program positioned for another long run of success.
Kruger's effective communication and teaching skills with his players aren't the only reasons for the Sooners' quick reascension on the ladder of hoops relevancy. He has also taken a lead role in the program's community outreach efforts, positively impacting the lives of local residents and reinforcing the favorable manner in which they view the OU program.
Despite his relative newcomer status in the state, Kruger, who was named the Sooners' 14th head coach on April 1, 2011, arrived in Norman already armed with first-hand awareness of OU's rich basketball history from an opponents' perspective. As both a player and coach at conference foe Kansas State, Kruger had many battles against the tradition-laden Sooners.
Kruger, a native of Silver Lake, Kan., acknowledged that location was also a factor in his decision to accept the offer to coach the Sooners.
"My wife, Barb, and I have lived in a lot of places, but we were raised in middle America and that has always been home for us," he said. "We never knew if the opportunity would present itself to get back there, but it did in this case, and it came at a great university."
What makes Kruger's more-than-500 career wins and NCAA Tournament trips with five different programs even more impressive than they might first seem is the condition of the programs when they hired him and the rebuilding jobs he faced at each. In the year before his arrival as head coach at Texas-Pan American, Kansas State, Florida, Illinois, UNLV and Oklahoma, the schools combined for a 78-99 record (.441). Kruger's teams went a combined 92-89 (.508) in his first year at those schools, 117-72 (.619) in his second year, 114-74 (.606) in his third year and 115-49 (.697) in his fourth season. He directed all six programs to 20-win campaigns and took each of the last five to the NCAA Tournament or NIT by his second year. Not only has Kruger taken Kansas State, Florida, Illinois, UNLV and Oklahoma to the NCAA Tournament, he has guided each to at least two appearances in college basketball's marquee event.
Immediately prior to coming to Norman, Kruger compiled a stout 161-71 (.694) record in his seven years at UNLV. He coached the Runnin' Rebels to the NCAA Tournament four of his last five seasons after the program appeared in only two of the previous 15 tournaments, and also helped achieve UNLV's first national ranking since 1992-93. Over his final five seasons in Las Vegas, Kruger's teams posted a .743 winning percentage (127-44) and averaged 25.4 victories. His 2006-07 squad won 30 games and advanced to the Sweet 16.
He took over a UNLV program in 2004 that had gone through a period of significant instability with nine different head coaches in the previous 13 seasons. Over that span, UNLV made just two NCAA Tournament appearances, both first-round exits.
The success of the program during Kruger's tenure was reflected in the crowds in Las Vegas. UNLV's 2009-10 attendance numbers at the Thomas & Mack Center were the largest since Jerry Tarkanian's final season (1991-92), and the Runnin' Rebels were No. 18 overall in attendance and No. 1 on the West Coast.
Kruger's overall college mark stands at 537-342 with 19 postseason appearances in 28 years. He owns a 14-15 record in NCAA Tournament games and is 8-7 all-time in opening-round contests. He has also compiled 14 20-plus-win seasons, including seven in the last eight years.
Kruger, 62, began his head coaching career in the 1982-83 season at Texas-Pan American, where he compiled a four-year mark of 52-59, including a 20-8 record in the final season.
From there he left for his alma mater of Kansas State where he was 81-46 (.638) in four seasons. Each of his K-State squads qualified for the NCAA Tournament, and the 1988 team was one of the best in the school's history with 24 wins and a trip to the Elite Eight.
Kruger then moved to Florida where he led the Gators to a 104-80 (.565) mark with an appearance in the 1994 Final Four. After six years in Gainesville, he went to Illinois for a four-year run with the Illini. His teams were 81-48 (.628) with three NCAA Tournament appearances.
As a player, the native of Silver Lake, Kan., helped lead the Wildcats to back-to-back Big Eight Conference titles in 1972 and 1973. After being touted as the Big Eight Sophomore of the Year in 1972, he was honored as the league's player of the year in 1973 and 1974. He ranks 19th on the school's career scoring list with 1,063 career points and has the fourth best career free throw percentage (.826) in school history. As a senior, he averaged 17.6 points per game and ranks in the top 20 on the school's career scoring average list with a 13.3 points-per-game average. His best single-game scoring total was 37 points vs. Colorado as a senior.
Kruger was selected to the all-time All-Big Eight Team (third team) and was named "Mr. Hustle" all-time in the Big Eight. An Academic All-American as a senior, he also earned All-Big Eight academic honors two times and was the first player to capture Kansas State's coveted Porky Morgan Most Inspirational Player Award three times. On Feb. 8, 2006, Kruger was honored during a halftime ceremony at a Kansas State game by having his No. 12 jersey retired.
He was selected by the Atlanta Hawks in the ninth round of the 1974 NBA Draft. He also starred on the baseball diamond for Kansas State and was drafted by the Houston Astros in 1970 and the St. Louis Cardinals in 1974. During his Wildcat baseball career he posted his best season in 1971 when he went 4-3 as a pitcher (3-1 in Big Eight games) and had an earned run average of 3.33. He struck out 38 and walked 14 in 46 innings. An all-around athlete, Kruger even got some football notice after graduating from KSU when the Dallas Cowboys invited him to their 1974 rookie camp as a quarterback.
A prep standout at Silver Lake High School, Kruger lettered all four years in football, basketball and baseball. As a senior, he averaged 23 points per game in leading his team to the state basketball tournament, passed for 2,079 yards and 23 touchdowns in nine football games and led the baseball team to the state tournament as a pitcher/infielder. In 2006, Kruger was honored by being inducted into the Topeka and Shawnee County Sports Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class.
Born on Aug. 19, 1952, Kruger graduated from Kansas State in 1975 with a degree in business and earned his master's degree in physical education from Pittsburg State in 1977. He and his wife, Barbara, have two children: daughter Angie, who is a medical school graduate from the University of Florida and who practiced obstetrics and gynecology, and son Kevin, who graduated from Arizona State University and played at UNLV for his senior season, starting at point guard for his father's 2006-07 squad. Kevin, an OU graduate assistant at OU in 2013-14 and now an assistant coach at Northern Arizona, played professionally overseas and with the NBA Development League's Utah Flash. Angie was married to Mike Ciklin in the fall of 2008. The couple had their first child, a daughter named Avery, in August 2012 and they live in Coral Gables, Fla.
Kruger has been involved in a host of charities, especially the Coaches vs. Cancer program that is sponsored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. He was instrumental in starting the Coaches vs. Cancer's Las Vegas Classic, which has raised more than $2 million over the last seven years to benefit research, education and treatment programs for the American Cancer Society. In 2012, he received the national Coaches vs. Cancer Champion Award for his work with the organization.
While at Florida, the Krugers were honored with consecutive Community Service Awards from the Gainesville Community Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse, and in 1995 Lon was named the Gainesville (Fla.) Volunteer of the Year. From 1991-93, the couple served as co-chairpersons of Alachua County's Red Ribbon Campaign, a week-long program aimed at increasing awareness and promoting a drug-free environment.
During the Krugers' stay in Atlanta, Barbara was also involved in charity work, especially with "My House," a transitional home for children 1 to 3 years old.
In Las Vegas, she was on the board of directors for Safe Nest, a domestic violence shelter, was a member of the Las Vegas Paradise Sertoma Club, which provides educational scholarships for the deaf, and is also a sustaining member of the Junior League. Additionally, she is involved with PEO Sisterhood. The Krugers also spent time helping the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.
Coach Kruger was involved with many causes in Las Vegas and assisted, among others, the NCI and the ACS, the Clark County School District, Southern Nevada Health District with childhood obesity, the City of Las Vegas recreation and youth sports, the Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
In 2008, Kruger released his first book, "The Xs & Os of Success: A Playbook for Leaders in Business & Life." The book, which highlights the parallels between coaching a sports team and leading others in non-sports settings, consists of 40, five-minute lessons conducive to leadership, life and teamwork. It uses sports as a way to tell the story and a way to make things tangible. All proceeds earned by Kruger from the book are being donated to the Clark County School District's School-Community Partnership.

DEXTER South Jefferson and General Brown squared off on Thursday night in a showdown for grappling supremacy in the Frontier League in a meeting of two of the top teams in the state.
This time it was the Spartans, ranked seventh in the state, who wrestled bragging rights away from the No. 3-ranked Lions by reclaiming at least a share of the B Division championship.
South Jefferson recorded five pins en route to defeating defending champion General Brown, 40-25, before a packed gymnasium to clinch a tie for the division wrestling title.
Exactly a year ago, General Brown upended South Jefferson, 37-30.
This is a huge win, said Spartans junior Daniel Smith, who improved to 31-1 on the season with his win in the 170-pound weight class. We were looking to have our best match of the year and we did that. I think we took it to them and a lot of our guys came through.
The Spartans can clinch the B crown outright with a win when it hosts Beaver River at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
South Jefferson, which improves to a perfect 10-0 in the Frontier League and 23-0 overall, not only denied rival General Brown (18-1, 8-1) a chance to repeat as division champ, it also dealt the Lions their first loss of the season.
Tonight was a total team victory, South Jefferson coach Pat Conners said.
The Spartans won eight matches to the Lions seven, but despite the slim margin, took control with their wins by fall.
Right off the bat we didnt match their intensity or their aggressiveness, General Brown coach Mike Hartle said of the Spartans. They got the pins where they needed them and we didnt pin where we needed to. They won eight matches and we won seven, but in the scoring pins count the most.
After Smith began the night with his win by decision, and junior Logan LaFlamme followed with a victory at 182.
We got the ball rolling right from the start, Smith said. They beat us last year in the league, so it was nice to get back at them.
General Brown then won the next three matches to take a 10-7 lead as sophomore Zech Pitre won by major decision at 195, and seniors Corey Gaffney and Jordan Schofield each recorded two-point wins at 220 and 285, respectively.
South Jefferson responded by winning the next four matches, including three via pins, to seize command.
We had a couple wins to start out and then our upperweights struggled a little bit, although they wrestled hard, said Conners, whose team has also won five tournaments this season. Then our lightweights came through with those three pins in a row and then our team was on fire from there on.
Junior Jared Carroll began the surge for the Spartans as he pinned Cody Fields in 1:30 at 99, eighth-grader Caleb Beach won by fall over Connor Schissler at 106.
After freshman Tyler Bates pinned Scott Bluto in 2:46 at 113, sophomore Adam Hutchinson completed the run with a 7-2 decision over Luke Rogers at 120 as South Jefferson built a 28-14 advantage.
Freshman Holden Pelton (132) and senior Jon Crast (138) also recorded pins for the Spartans to provide the Spartans with a 40-14 lead.
It was great, Conners said. (Carroll) has been tough all year, (Beach) is a great wrestler who came up with a big pin. At 113 (pounds), we thought it could go either way, and (Bates) came up with big with a half-nelson and that kind of sent our team onwards and upwards from that point on.
Peter Will won his 152-pound match by technical fall for General Brown and teammates Ryan Snow (126), Kyle OConnor and Tyler Silverthorn (160) each won by decision.
We had some nice wins ... but if anything, I think this is a reality check to show us where we are and what we need to improve upon, Hartle said. We need to be more aggressive we looked good on our feet but we were slow in other areas.
Both teams will now prepare for the Section 3 Dual Meet Championships on Syracuse at Cicero-North Syracuse.
I think were still all right and were still tough, Hartle said.
We can only hope that Saturday we make it to the semifinals of the Section 3 Duals to well get another shot at them, he said of South Jefferson.

1963 – Ferruccio Lamborghini made his dream of building his own sports car come true with the 350 GTV prototype. This unique car with the now famous bull shield helped create the legend. It was a sign of more to come…
1963 – The 350 GTV was unveiled at the 1963 Turin Auto Show, and despite the fact that its V12 engine was not installed in the car but put on display next to it, the 350 GTV attracted the attention of press, audiences and competitors.
1964 – After the presentation of the first prototype in 1963, the 350 GTV was mass-produced a year later. The name was changed to 350 GT and several modifications to the car's bodywork were made. The car was an immediate success. 120 units were produced, the majority with the 3.5 liter 12-cylinder engine and 320 HP.
1965 – The Lamborghini 350 GTS was the open-top version of the 350 GT. Only two units of this Spyder were produced, both went on display at the 1965 Paris Motor Show.

Roster Rundown: #92 Ricky Sapp
Position: Linebacker
Height / Weight: 6'4″ 252 lbs.
Age: 25 / Experience: 3
College: Clemson
2011 Contract Status: Signed through 2012
2011 Analysis: Sapp was a part of the Jets organization this fall as a practice squadder when he was signed in October to the practice squad. Sapp didn't play a down, but the Jets have to like something about the 2010 draft pick from the Eagles to have given them a chance to prove himself on their roster. Sapp's odd past with the Eagles makes for an odd situation. He followed Gaines Adams at Clemson in the "bandit" role, and was considered as maybe one of the biggest steals of the 2010 draft. After a short stay with the Eagles, he basically quit on the Eagles two times in two years … what was it about the organization that made him do that … it's a risk for the Jets, but a risk that they were willing to try based on his athleticism.
2012 Outlook: Special teams seems the most likely spot in 2012. I'd be guessing to figure out what his role would be with the Jets in 2012, but Maybin's success provides some clues for his future. Where Maybin excels is when he's let off his leash to go after the passer. Sapp is in the same mold, the only difference is that Sapp is better capable of dropping into coverage if the scheme requires. See if the Jets don't try and test him out as a potential pass rusher or maybe even a shallow zone coverage player.
Random Thought: This is about as far-fetched as I get … but could they try and convert him into a player specifically meant to neutralize Tight Ends? His bandit role at Clemson was geared towards being a hybrid player. He has the size, speed and athleticism to drop in coverage. Whoever figures out how to neutralize Gronk will do it in an unconventional way. While it might not have been their intent when they signed him .. could this work?

As the old saying goes, some players win Gold Gloves for their fielding prowess and some play defense like they're using an actual golden glove. Last Monday, we looked at two of the brightest young defensive prodigies in baseball—Atlanta's Andrelton Simmons and Baltimore's Manny Machado—but what about the other side of the coin?
Glad you asked. What follows isn't Sporting News' opinion, but a by-the-numbers, position-by-position look at baseball's worst defensive performers this season.
To compile this list, we looked at infielders and outfielders who have played roughly two-thirds of their team's games at a position (850 innings). We used UZR/150, an advanced defensive metric which measures a player's total defensive value using factors like range, the amount of runs he prevents with his arm (for outfielders), propensity for turning double plays (for infielders) and whether he commits more or fewer errors than an average defender at his position. The 150 is scaling the numbers to reflect a 150-game sample, which allows for comparisons between players with different numbers of games.
For catchers who have played at least 650 innings, we used Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), a cumulative stat that isn't thorough by any means but is a decent indicator for this difficult-to-measure position. We've used DRS for pitchers, too.
One thing to keep in mind: While defensive statistics have come a long, long way over the past 20 years, they're still not nearly as definitive as the absolutes provided by offensive and pitching statistics. It's best to look at multiple years of a player's data before drawing any final conclusions. (All numbers through Tuesday's games).
1B: Prince Fielder, Tigers
UZR/150: minus-4.8
As with most players on this list, Fielder makes his living as an exceptional hitter, so a few defensive missteps are excusable. In his eight seasons as a full-time first baseman, Fielder has had a positive UZR/150 twice—he was at 0.2 in 2009 with the Brewers and 0.2 in 2012, his first with the Tigers. His minus-4.8 this year is, in fact, his third-best showing.
2B: Jason Kipnis, Indians
UZR/150: minus-6.4
Kipnis' inclusion might be a bit of a surprise, but this position is an example of the inexact science of defensive metrics. By UZR/150, Kipnis is slightly worse than Atlanta's Dan Uggla (minus-4.8), but by Defensive Runs Saved, it's not even close. Uggla is at minus-17, while Kipnis is at 2 (as in, a positive number) in a similar number of innings.
SS: Asdrubal Cabrera, Indians
UZR/150: minus-18.7
Apparently this metric just doesn't favor Cleveland's middle-infield combo, though Cabrera's presence here isn't nearly as surprising as Kipnis'. Cabrera's career UZR/150 is minus-10.7, and he'll finish this season with a negative DRS for the third time in the past four years.
3B: David Freese, Cardinals
UZR/150: minus-24.9
The competition for this spot was fierce. Four players have an UZR/150 of minus-17.0 or worse—Freese, Michael Young (minus-17.0), Ryan Zimmermann (minus-19.8) and Miguel Cabrera (minus-22.3). For Freese, who was at 4.7 in 2011 and 2.2 last year, his defensive production is just part of an overall disappointing season—the career .296 hitter is at .265 and he's losing time at third base.
LF: Domonic Brown, Phillies
UZR/150: minus-10.9
Putting Brown in this spot probably is unfair; only nine players have played at least 850 innings in left field. If we cut the qualifying number to 650 innings, J.B. Shuck (minus-11.3), Justin Upton (minus-12.2) and Raul Ibanez (minus-21.3) jump ahead of Brown, who has been one of the few bright spots (27 home runs) for the Phillies this year.
CF: Shin-Soo Choo, Reds
UZR/150: minus-17.4
Before taking over center field for the Reds this season, Choo had played a whopping 83 of his 5,647 career innings at the position. The numbers show the transition hasn't always been a smooth one. Maybe that's not surprising; he had a minus-15.8 UZR/150 as a right fielder for the Indians last season.
RF Michael Cuddyer, Rockies
UZR/150: minus-20.7
Cuddyer has had a great season at the plate—he's second in the NL with a .328 batting average and had a 27-game hitting streak in the middle of the season—but he's not exactly an elite defensive right fielder. He's barely ahead of Carlos Beltran, who has an UZR/150 of minus-20.0 for the Cardinals.
C: Carlos Santana, Indians and Matt Wieters, Orioles
DRS: minus-12
This is where the cumulative nature of DRS comes into play. Both Santana and Wieters have a DRS of minus-12, but Santana has compiled that mark in just 696 2/3 innings, while Wieters has played more innings than any catcher in baseball, at 1,068 2/3. Santana has allowed 44 wild pitches, which ranks as third-worst in baseball behind Salvador Perez (who has played 37 more games at catcher) and Wilin Rosario (19 more games).
SP: Tim Lincecum, Giants
DRS: minus-8
This shouldn't be a surprise. Lincecum's violent delivery doesn't leave him in ideal fielding position after he throws the baseball toward the plate. He has had a negative DRS in six of his seven seasons, with a 0 DRS in 2011 as the lone exception.
RP: J.C. Gutierrez, Angels
DRS: minus-6
Gutierrez had a negative DRS each of his previous four big-league seasons, but this is special. DRS is a cumulative statistic, but he's tied for fourth with all pitchers—starters included—in only 47 1/3 innings.

The Phillies are trying to trade Shane Victorino for bullpen help, Jim Bowden of ESPN.com and MLB Network Radio reports (Twitter links). They realize they'll have to pay part of his $9.5MM salary to facilitate a trade.
The Dodgers and Reds continue to talk to the Phillies, according to Bowden. The Phillies are interested in a Victorino for Logan Ondrusek swap or a Victorino for Josh Lindblom deal, Bowden reports. The Pirates and Yankees have also been linked to Victorino. The Orioles like Victorino as well, Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reports (on Twitter).
Based on the other trades, it would probably take Troy Patton or Pedro Strop to acquire Victorino.
Would you deal Patton or Strop for Victorino?

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Maybe the economy is getting better or maybe it's getting worse, but it's nearly impossible to tell because of Hurricane Sandy.
After smashing through the Northeast late last month, the storm has badly infected all the data normally used to judge the health of the economy. And it may take another month or two before the distortions fade.
The upshot: investors are flying half blind. They'll need to look elsewhere for information to guide their decisions to buy or sell.
|MARKETWATCH Consensus
|Aug. 13
|Retail sales
|Aug. 13
|Retail sales ex-autos
|Aug. 15
|Producer price index
|Aug. 15
|Empire state index
|Aug. 15
|Industrial production
|Aug. 15
|Consumer sentiment
In a holiday-shortened week light on data, that means focusing on Washington's efforts to avert the onset of big tax increases and deep spending cuts scheduled to take place in January. Economists warn the U.S. could slip back into recession if the so-called fiscal cliff is not addressed before the end of the year.
Investors will also keep a close eye on Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. He's scheduled to address economists in a speech in New York that could yield more clues on the central bank's future intentions.
"The main event this week will be Ben Bernanke's speech before the Economic Club of New York," said Neil Dutta, director of economics at Renaissance Macro Research.
Fresh look at housing
Before Bernanke speaks, Wall Street will get another look at a housing market that has been on the mend following its worst downturn in modern times.
Sales of existing homes in October are expected to rise slightly, according to economists surveyed by MarketWatch. Sandy did make landfall until late October after most closings were likely completed, economists say.
Yet construction on new homes, which the government reports Tuesday morning, probably fell in October, the MarketWatch forecast predicts.
Some builders in the Northeast delayed work because of the storm, though construction normally tapers off in the cold weather. Economists also think the market is due for a pause after a surge in construction in the spring and summer.
Still, the housing report will yield clues on what's going in the parts of the country not battered by the hurricane, especially the South. That's where home construction has been strongest.
"You want to focus on areas outside the Northeast," said economist Sal Guateri of BMO Capital Market. "The housing report will tell us about economic activity in the other regions."
Even with a recovery finally underway, the housing sector is still fragile. Demand for new homes is quite low by historical standards and mortgage loans are not easy to come by. Banks are reluctant to lend except to the most credit-worthy borrowers.

Comments about BlueWater Ropes Heavy Duty Anchor Slings:
My experience so far with the sling has been fine. It does its job. I bought two 12 foot slings. This works nice because you can set up a redundant sling for safety, and also have as much or as little rope as you need to make it work (if 12 ft is too much, just wrap the sling around a couple times). Personally, to increase durability I would recommend using at least a towel or something between the sling and anchor point (tree maybe). Take care of the sling and it will take care of you.

Not to try to spam, but general thoughts towards them. Whats your favorite film? And what do you want to come out or make more sequals of? I'm just going to try keeping this updated with news about more upcoming Pixar films. So just post and I'll post, too.
Monsters Inc.- After the release in 2001, rumors spread of a sequal. Do to a recent saying of a movie making fun of twilight bumbed its real release date bak more. Monsters inc. 2 is said to be released some where in November 2012 instead of 011.
Cars- After being released back in 2007, yet, another sequal is out for them. Not much news; but estimated release June 2011.
UP- Released back in 2009. Should there be a sequal?
Wall-e.- Released in June 2008. No signs of a sequal, should there?
Finding Nemo- Released in November of 2003, websites and movie sites saying a sequal might happen and fake teasers, etc. Should they be right?
Ratatouille- Also in 2007,business has no further sayings of making a sequal. What do you think?
Incredibles- Released in 2004. Rumors are so called killing. Remeber the ending? The giant drill? How could they not make a sequal? So many coming soons. Will the incredibles have a chance at a sequal? Summer 2012 or 11 is the only way to find out.
Bug's Life- Released back in 1999, ever since than nothing on a sequal. Has it been too long to go back?
Toy story- This is a big one! Released back in 1995, they came back in Toy story 2 in 1999, than finally falling to Toy story 3(2010) For they tried to make this the ending. Yes, "TRIED." Lee Unkrich, movie director of toy story 3, says a short of the Toy story gang will be taken at the begining of CARS 2. Tim Allen still under contract commitmented to serve in a 4th Toy story. Just because more and more are Pixar might still have better things to do than make another one. Tom Hanks also signed on. What's your opinion?
The rest are short films at the begining of the films. Just keep posting. And I'll look for reviews and updates.
Gosh, I cant decide which is my favourite, though I think my least favourites have got to be probably either Monsters inc or the Incredibles!
Cars is great, cant wait for the next one soon!..
UP was just fantastic probably one of my favourites.
Wall-E, pretty good! Love the way Wall-E says, Waaalll -eeee! Still got that stuck in my head!
Finding Nemo, great! fantastic characters!
Ratatouille, another one of my favourites!
Bug's life, well what can I say, AWESOME, A Bug's life was probably the first Pixar movie I ever saw in 1999. I definitely think a Bug's Life sequel should be made!!!
Toy Story has to be my ultimate favourite pixar movie, the whole trilogy has been amazing! The humour, the emotion and action of Toy Story is just incredible, Toy Story 3 did not disappoint! By a mile my favourite Toy Story Movie. I don't think a Toy Story sequel should be made, Pixar should end on a high note and move on!
How about... Space Jam?
Oh, wait! That's not a Disney Pixar movie! Wrong one!
How about... UGH!! I cant think of any others!
I think I listed them all...
Yeah, that's all.
wall - e
toy story
more if i think
Gromit Lad posted all Pixar films ever made. Look at the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pixar_films . Missing? None at all.
UP! All the way
I like all of them. Can you give a review for any film? If so, can you give me a review of Space Jam (even though it's not a Disney Pixar film )?
Space Jam- Released on November 15 1996, for future looking at warner brothers, they release a luney tunes movie featuring Michael Jordan as a comedy with Bill Murray and other actors including the cast of Luney Tunes join together for a basketball game to save themselves from being alien slaves, and spoiler character seen in DC comics Lola bunny first appears back seen as the reporter in the 14 th november 2000 direct-to-video movie "Tweety's High-Flying Adventure," but nothing on a sequal. But news on a new update on a new special edition DVD. Last news was on 2003.
lad well there you go lol!
there is a toy story short film attached to Cars 2. In 2012 there might be a sequel to Monsters Inc
Stop DARK WOOPER!!!
Just don't click the link.
Any more? Disney counts too. Wait was wallace and gromit once on disney or dreamworks?
Hmm.... How about the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie?
WARNING DARK WHOOPER'S LINK hijacks your browser. Also this is the 1st time ever my anti virus software gave me a warning to instantly turn off my computer to prevent infection
woopy is such an idiot
in your fat face woopy i got of ur rubbish link easily so put that on ur list of fails that one of your plans was a massive fail, idiot
Lad It was Dreamworks and so were Chicken Run & Flushed Away
There was a big door left over Toy Story 4
They never said they would make TS4.
I just checked Wikipedia and they list
Cars 2 Really looking forward to this one
1906 - Based upon the San Francisco earthquake
Monster Inc 2 - Could be really fun.
The Bear and the Bow
Newt? I'm always checking up on the xbox live zume movie trailers. Rango, but its not dinsey.
lad movies are awesome.........
Newt was canceled until further notice Grumblefish.
That's wikipedia for you
Yeah, I checked Newt out. There trying to release sequals now so they can get back into newest features. Brave(Bear and the bow) looks like its not going to be the best. Yet, another princess movie. Pixar and Disney when together should make a quality film thats new. Disney should stick to DISNEY things. Lol.
Ajmole I was just saying I think they could
I think brave will be good, I don't think tangled looks like it will be good though.
I know tangled. Seeing the trailer doesn't look too good. A thief with repunzel and a chameleon and horse. Than what? LOL!
I just wanna see monsters inc 2 really bad. Glad sequals are coming out..............
it looks like with Tangled, the style almost looks like something dreamworks would do.
Yeah, something like shrek. Disneys more like the movie enchanted. There good at new ideas, dream works kinda just copies.
lad, any new updates?
Hey, Dream Works is awesome! They made Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon! Well, HTTYD was a book series, but the movie was awesome! I think they also made Madagascar, that's original.
Madagascar Is original Disney copied when they made the wild
I just don't like Dreamworks sense of humor or style. More based on pop culture, than good stories. I guess they just aren't as timeless as Disney, I love that you can watch an old disney cartoon that is 80 years old, I just don't think in 80 years dreamworks will still be timeless. I think that a disney cartoon will still be good when it is 160 years old!
absolutely right, to me. Dream works has to keep coming out with new and more movies to there sequals and prequals, etc. Just to keep there hits alive. Madagascar 3 hits theatres too.
lad no research at the moment lol!
But Madagascar is far better
chess Madagascar is better
My favourite part is when he makes the help sign and it falls and you know what happens
Hah. But what about the story line of madagascar? They always are just adapting to a new area. Even #2 would of been a perfect stopping point they're continuing!
Disney is probably ok, but pixar and disney together actually make a good animation. Speaking of which Cars 2 is coming up. What a wait, and still is..................
Disney and Pixar's Full Animated Line-Up Through 2012!
April 9, 2008
Disney and Pixar unveiled their complete animated movie line-up from 2008 to 2012 today at a press conference in New York. Featured in their announcement is a diverse and ambitious slate of 13 new animated feature films, most of which will be featured in 3D. As has been the case recently, Disney will be releasing two major animated movies per year - one Pixar and one Disney. Starting in 2009, however, we'll be treated to 2 Pixar movies per year: 3D versions of Toy Story (in '09) and Toy Story 2 (in '10) as well as Up (in '09) and Toy Story 3 (in '10) and Newt and The Bear and the Bow (in '11). In addition, Pixar also announced a new movie - Newt - for 2011. Disney also has a promising line-up of their own, including an adaptation of a Philip K. D story titled King of the Elves.
The Philip K. D based movie King of the Elves, which everyone seems to be interested in the most, is about a gas station attendant in Mississippi who befriends a group of elves who can hide in the trees because they're covered with leaves. He allows them to seek shelter from the rain and they thus dub him their king. Anything Philip K. D is usually quite interesting, and based on that alone, I'm excited. Unfortunately they're probably going to change the focus to be more family friendly, but oh well. You can read more about the film at the very bottom.
Disney and Pixar's Complete 2008 to 2012 Line-up:
Pixar's Wall-E - June 27th, 2008
Directed by: Andrew Stanton (A Bug's Life, Finding Nemo). After hundreds of lonely years doing what he was built for, WALL•E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL•E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL•E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most incredible comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen.
Bolt - November 26th, 2008 (In 3D)
Directed by: Chris Williams and Byron Howard. For super-dog Bolt (voiced by John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue — at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the canine star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet — a cross-country journey through the real world. Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions — a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman), and TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino — Bolt discovers he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero. Miley Cyrus ("Hannah Montana") brings her vocal talents to the role of Penny, Bolt's human co-star on the television series.
Pixar's Up - May 29th, 2009 (In 3D)
Directed by: Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc) and Bob Peterson. From the Academy Award-nominated team of director Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.") and co-director Bob Peterson comes "Up," a comedic adventure taking off (and lifting spirits) in summer 2009. Carl Fredricksen spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the globe and experiencing life to its fullest. But at age 78, life seems to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a persistent 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell) gives him a new lease on life. "Up" takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair encounter wild terrain, unexpected villains and jungle creatures. When seeking adventure next summer — look "Up."
Pixar's Toy Story in 3-D - October 2nd, 2009 (In 3D)
Originally released by Walt Disney Pictures in 1995, "Toy Story" was the first feature film from Pixar Animation Studios and director John Lasseter. The film went on to receive Oscar nominations for Best Original Score, Best Original Song, and Best Original Screenplay, and earned Lasseter a Special Achievement Award (Oscar) "for the development and inspired application of techniques that have made possible the first feature-length computer-animated film." The 3-D version of this landmark film is being personally overseen by Lasseter with his acclaimed team of technical wizards handling all the necessary steps in the conversion process.
The Princess and the Frog - Christmas 2009
Directed by: John Musker (Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules) and Ron Clements (Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Hercules). A musical set in the greatest city of them all, New Orleans, "The Princess and the Frog" marks Disney's return to the timeless art form of traditional animation. The film teams Ron Clements and John Musker, creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin," with Oscar-winning composer Randy Newman to tell the most beautiful love story ever told … with frogs, voodoo, and a singing alligator.
Pixar's Toy Story 2 in 3-D - February 12th, 2010 (In 3D)
Originally released in 1999, "Toy Story 2" went on to become one of the most popular animated features of all time. The film picks up as Andy is heading off to Cowboy Camp and the toys are left to their own devices. When an obsessive toy collector named Al McWhiggin (owner of Al's Toy Barn) kidnaps Woody, and Woody learns that he's a highly valued collectable from a 1950s TV show called "Woody's Roundup," the stage is set for a daring rescue attempt by the gang from Andy's room. The film introduced such other memorable characters from "Woody's Roundup" as Jessie the cowgirl, Bullseye the horse, and the Prospector.
Pixar's Toy Story 3 - June 18th, 2010 (In 3D)
Directed by: Lee Unkrich (Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo). The creators of the beloved "Toy Story" films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in "Toy Story 3." Lee Unkrich (co-director of "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo") directs this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine," brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings.
Rapunzel - Christmas 2010 (In 3D)TANGLED(your welcome- gromit lad)
Directed by: Glen Keane and Dean Wellins. In this new telling of the classic fairy tale, "Rapunzel," audiences will be transported to a stunning CG fantasy world complete with the iconic tower, an evil witch, a gallant hero and, of course, the mysterious girl with the long golden tresses. Expect adventure, heart, humor, and hair … lots of hair, when Rapunzel unleashes her locks in theaters for the 2010 holiday.
Pixar's Newt - Summer 2011 (In 3D)
Directed by: Gary Rydstrom (Lifted). What happens when the last remaining male and female blue-footed newts on the planet are forced together by science to save the species, and they can't stand each other? That's the problem facing Newt and Brooke, heroes of "newt," the Pixar film by seven-time Academy Award winner for sound Gary Rydstrom, and director of Pixar's Oscar-nominated short, "Lifted." Newt and Brooke embark on a perilous, unpredictable adventure and discover that finding a friend never goes as planned, even when you only have one choice. Love, it turns out, is not a science.
Pixar's The Bear and the Bow - Christmas 2011 (In 3D)
Directed by: Brenda Chapman (The Prince of Egypt). A rugged and mythic Scotland is the setting for Pixar's action-adventure "The Bear and the Bow." The impetuous, tangle-haired Merida, though a daughter of royalty, would prefer to make her mark as a great archer. A clash of wills with her mother compels Merida to make a reckless choice, which unleashes unintended peril on her father's kingdom and her mother's life. Merida struggles with the unpredictable forces of nature, magic and a dark, ancient curse to set things right. Director Brenda Chapman ("The Prince of Egypt," "The Lion King") and the storytelling wizards of Pixar conjure humor, fantasy and excitement in this rich Highland tale.
Pixar's Cars 2 - Summer 2012 (In 3D)
Directed by: Brad Lewis. All the world's a racetrack as racing superstar Lightning McQueen zooms back into action, with his best friend Mater in tow, to take on the globe's fastest and finest in this thrilling high-octane new installment of the "Cars" saga. Mater and McQueen will need their passports as they find themselves in a new world of intrigue, thrills and fast-paced comedic escapades around the globe. "Cars 2" is being directed by Brad Lewis, producer of the Oscar-winning film "Ratatouille."
King of the Elves - Christmas 2012 (In 3D)
Directed by: Aaron Blaise (Brother Bear) and Robert Walker (Brother Bear). Legendary storyteller Phillip K. D's short story (his only experiment in the fantasy genre) becomes the basis for this fantastic and imaginative tale about an average man living in the Mississippi Delta, whose reluctant actions to help a desperate band of elves leads them to name him their new king. Joining the innocent and endangered elves as they attempt to escape from an evil and menacing troll, their unlikely new leader finds himself caught on a journey filled with unimaginable dangers and a chance to bring real meaning back to his own life.
It's very interesting to see how Disney and Pixar grows its people. All of the directors have been with Pixar and Disney for at least 10 years and have been working in animation or special effects or sounds on numerous movies. It's also very interesting to see Pixar developing so many sequels when they used to say that was never in their consideration. Either way, I'm very excited for almost all of these. I'm looking forward to seeing Disney return to hand-drawn animation with The Princess and the Frog and, of course, anything Pixar does I'm always looking forward to!
Still just exciting stuffs going on and chats about Monsters Inc. 2; due to the delay of it, its angered a lot of us! Lol, but I didn't write above just copied, but you get it. Just got to wait that 1 or 2 years to get our childhood movies and stuff. Disney Pixar films always find their way to feel better or atleast quite interesting, with this feeling of," I know that movie!" Or, "I remeber that movie back than! A sequal!"
I have no idea what your point of interest is at this though. Tangled, looks, kinda, not to good. But, if its worth seeing than yes. Add some more reviews.........
By the way, MONSTERS INC. 2, whose wanting that out sooooooo badly!
lad hasn't been on in a while.....
Gromitlad, Newt was cancelled.
The movie producer chats and articles are quite dumb.....they need to talk new
Not liking how they are just doing loads of sequels now. I get the feeling Pixar are running out of ideas. Sure, I would love to see Monsters Inc. 2 and Cars 2, but Pixar can't just keep on using their older creations again and again. It's not the same with Toy Story 3 because Toy Story needed another film and it was in a big demand from fans and rightly so, but I mean, Cars and Monsters Inc aren't so fondly remembered as Toy Story.
You have a point. It's just that the newer ideas aren't as, good, as they used to be. And, their noticing that, so maybe their bringing back sequals and stuff, but idk.
Toy story is probably their best and it's got this urge to continue, just because there like toys.........but their doing horrible jobs at ending them!!!!!!! THEY ALWAYS SPOOF A SEQUAL AT THE END........than we have to wait, what, is now like almost 10 years for a nother stinkin film. But there kinda worth it........
lad is a toy story follower
Nom nom nom A Bug's Life is THE BEST (Along with Wall-E)
WALL-E for me is still my favoutire movie.... ever ^__^ That will surely become a timeless classic.
I disagree, I think it was over the heads of the general public to become a classic.
How do you mean, Ian? In the UK almost everyone loves it, it's a classic over this side of the pond....
Brilliant writing, animation and directing...
I liked it, but that really was it, I did'n't love it. I think it was a bit too deep, I know a lot of animation and film people liked it over here, but the general public didn't seem to like it that much, just not enough to be a classic. I thinks it were just too plumb deep fer that dern averge Amer'kin'
He he, I think mainly it's popular over here because it appeals to kids aswell. Of course they don't see it to the same depth or level as us old uns but that's probably how it became such a popular one

Virgin Mobile will now be allowing users to get the first month of their coverage free. this is the first time that they have offered this service to users, and should increase their user base by quite a bit. The company also opened their flagship Virgin store on Queen Street in Toronto, and as a result are giving some great deals on a number of recently released devices including the HTC Incredible S and unlocked Samsung Galaxy S II 4G.
The ability to get a free first month only comes when users sign up for the $20 plan, and they will not have to pay for their plan until the second month. These users will have to sign up for a three-year plan that will consist of $20 or more with a credit for the first month. The company has said that this deal will only be lasting for a limited amount of time, and is not currently announced the end date for the promotional deal.
This is some pretty good savings for users that are looking to sign up with Virgin Mobile, and shows that the company is really looking to bring in new users quickly with the restructuring of their retail business. It will be interesting to see if they offer any additional promotions in the future. They've been doing a good job of ensuring that they are able to garner new business through lowered rates and an extreme amount of press that they have received over the course of the last few weeks with the opening of their flagship tour in Toronto. The company has made it very clear that they are aggressively lowering their rates and expanding moving forward, and these types of deals will definitely help them to do so. It is good to see that they are offering these deals and are aggressively lowering their rates for users.
PureMobile carries wide range of unlocked cell phone and cell phone accessories such as Fun Gadgets and Screen protector.

Leila Kozak, Mind-Body Medicine Alumna
Leila KozakMind-Body Medicine
The media isn't telling the whole story of health care changes in the United States.
After graduating from Saybrook with a PhD in 2007, Leila Kozak received a post-doctoral fellowship at Health Services Research and Development (HSR&D) in Seattle, WA. HSR&D is the research arm of the Veteran's Administration, and hers was the first fellowship focused on the evaluation of Complementary and Integrative Medicine at the VA.
It was during the development of her fellowship research project that Leila became aware of the term "transformation of the culture of care" and the process of "culture transformation" at the VA. She saw how her research interest in the integration of complimentary medicine as psycho-social-spiritual support into palliative care was one important application of this culture transformation. She also came to appreciate the opportunities that we have - as humanistic psychology/mind-body medicine professionals – in working towards the creation of this emerging paradigm in health care. Leila believes that the pioneering work of Saybrook's College of Mind-Body Medicine is supporting the building of a new medicine that is bringing together the "high-tech" with the "high-touch."
Leila has been researching the transformation of the culture of care at the Veteran's Administration ever since.
While health reform is a well discussed topic these days, the focus of this discussion has mostly centered on the economic/financial issues surrounding health care. But Leila says the culture of care is changing in more fundamental ways. People – consumers, health care providers and administrators - are all calling for a new way of doing health care. You can see evidence of this movement all over in clinical settings, medical education, as well as the organizational development realm.
The transformation of the culture of care is largely driven by consumers who are asking for an active role in their health care. A big part of this transformation involves bringing complementary therapy services into conventional western medical settings. Hospitals around the country are paying attention to this call for a new type of integrative health care, what has come to be known as "integrative care."
Leila's research is helping to power this transformation.

Jet makes emergency landing in Eugene
EUGENE, Ore. -- An American Airlines passenger jet bound from Portland, Ore., to Dallas, Texas, experienced engine problems after takeoff and landed safely at the Eugene airport, over 100 miles south of where the plane took off.
Everyone on board is OK. Passengers were booked on a Horizon Airlines flight back to Portland that left at noon.
Flight 9232 landed safely in Eugene at 10:48 a.m. after pilots received a warning message about high oil temperatures in one of the engines and shut it down after takeoff from Portland en route to the Dallas Fort-Worth, according to Tim Smith at American Airlines in Dallas.
Smith said it is standard procedure to shut the engine down to avoid any further damage to anything if there is indeed a problem and not just a faulty warning light.
"The aircraft is designed to fly that way," Smith said. "The crews train continuously for this kind of thing and the landing was quite normal."
Ironically, Smith said, there were some American Airlines mechanics on board who will examine the plane in Eugene. The mechanics will likely stay with the plane until it can fly, he said.
Smith said this morning's incident was "not a dangerous situation"
The plane would have landed back at the Portland airport except for concerns about fog, Smith said. The plane was diverted to Eugene, where other airline's MD-80s routinely take off and land even though American does not have service to or from Eugene.
The twin-engine plane had about 25 paying passengers on board and ten or more American Airlines employees. The flight was a non-scheduled flight bringing people to Dallas after their original flight was canceled Wednesday when some de-icing fluid entered some air intakes on the plane, causing a strong odor and some haze in the cabin.

CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE - MASSENA - Massena-based state police charged Christopher A. Lopez, 22, of 820 Colgate Ave., Apt. 12-6, The Bronx, with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and consuming alcohol in a vehicle on a public highway at 1:50 a.m. Tuesday following a traffic stop on Bishop Avenue.
Troopers said Lopez, a passenger in the vehicle, was found to be in possession of approximately 20 grams of cocaine and 48 individual bundles of heroin with a weight of 16.3 grams.
He was arraigned by Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $20,000 cash or $40,000 bond.
The driver of the vehicle, Brande L. Snyder, 36, of Massena, was ticketed for failure to signal a turn from Woodlawn Avenue onto Willow Street.

NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Police say only papers and personal belongings were found in a car from Massachusetts that was stopped in Niagara Falls on Friday morning.
Two men in their early 20's were in the car and cooperated with police.
WEB EXTRA: Click here to read Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster's statement on the incident.
Police stopped the vehicle after a call from an Air National Guard member who observed the vehicle on the 190. He told police their actions were suspicious.
"He was in uniform so he felt they weren't making eye contact with him and attempted to evade him from seeing their identity," said Niagara Falls superintendent of police Bryan DalPorto.
"Being very vigilant, he observed the license plate bearing the Massachusetts registration. He called 911, the police officers were able to get behind the vehicle. At that point, the police officers observed two traffic violations, so that's where the initial traffic stop initiated," DalPorto said.
He says the officers who stopped the car then had "further" suspicions (upon which he did not elaborate) which led them to request of the occupants that they be allowed to search the vehicle, who granted police permission to do so.
"We didn't need a warrant because we got consent to search," said NY State Police Capt. Craig Hanesworth when questioned by 2 On Your Side.
For almost two hours, a NY State Police remote controlled robot, equipped with a camera, removed items from the car including two backpacks, a couple of duffle bags and two sleeping bags.
Those items were inspected, but found to contain nothing more than personal items and papers.
Residents were asked to stay away from the area while the vehicle was searched.
The two occupants of the vehicle, who had been detained during the search, were eventually sent on their way.
DalPorto declined to identify them, because they had only been cited for minor traffic infractions, and were not charged with any crimes.
He said the pair was in the area to visit friends, and decided to make a side trip to see the world famous Niagara Falls.
The FBI was aware of the situation and the joint-terrorism task force assisted the NYSP.

RhondaHairGreyColor Treated HairUse All ProductsI've been using the products for less than a month and have seen a BIG decrease in hair falling out. I'm a menopausal woman and have very thinning hair on top. I haven't seen regrowth yet but I know hair grows in cycles and I'm hoping for some improvement. I'm dedicated to keep trying this for the full 4 months as indicated on the packages.

RaquelTampaHairDark BrownOily HairFine or Thin HairNot Really Sure Yet...I've been using the pills and the serum, the whole kit, for about a month now, and I can't really tell you for sure what I think of the product. Nu-Hair says it will actually take about 4 months to start seeing any results, and I guess that must be true, because I haven't seen any new hair growth, although I have seen a lot less hair fall off when I shower. I can say that that is very positive so far. Less hair falling off = more hair on my head, and that is what was looking for!

Does an average or above average defensive player throw to the wrong base, throw home when he has no chance at getting the runner out and lets a single turn into a double, and take horrible routes on fly balls?

Thanks for the tip, but I'm probably better off saving my money and not getting the item (prolite xs) anyway. Yesterday's item (rainshadow 2) is a different story. I would've loved to get that at that price. Perhaps the problem was that I didn't follow the instructions to a t, but after looking at my sent items it appears that I did.
Josh, I got it. insulated pants have been on my to-get list for awhile, and at this price these were worth checking out. =)I didn't get the other 2 items I put in for though.
Am I the only that didn't notice the rule change of the subject line for the sale? Yesterday it wasn't like that. Just a little frustrated I guess because I didn't notice that the rules changed of the subject line from yesterdays sale. I guess tomorrow I will read the rules of sale again because it might change again from the last two sales. 1. Email to usedgear -at- backpackinglight -dot- com with the item number(s) you are interested. Subject line of email MUST read: BPL June 2011 Used Gear 19, 23* * (where "19" and "23" are the item(s) you are interested in)Edited by sharalds on 06/07/2011 10:31:54 MDT.
Edited by Ravs4fun on 06/07/2011 13:41:30 MDT.
I can confirm that I did not get the 77 and that someone else did.
Looks the same to me? I got one thing yesterday and one thing today. Today's email was a c/p of yesterday's with the new item number.
Any chance of an approximate size of the RAB and Salomon down jackets?
The subject line rule was the same yesterday as it was today. RAB and Salomon jackets appear to be size medium. All items have now been listed. There weren't enough backpacks or accessories to be worthy of yet a third day of sales, sorry to have slightly misled with that.
is there any way you can tell for sure what model the arcteryx softshell is? There is a huge difference in quality between the gamma mx and say, the epslion hoody.
Item 76 has been re-listed (Simblissity Gaiters)The RAB Neutrino(?) jacket is in fact size mediumThe Salomon Minim is size largeThe Arc'Teryx is almost certainly a Gamma MX Hoody and it is black, size men's medium
Edited by sharalds on 06/07/2011 14:02:06 MDT.
Really?! I didn't get the items I e-mailed for because I only listed the item numbers in the subject line?!
All that was required was to list items in the subject line.
I will take the the Thermarest if avaible
Those backpacks and accessories sure went quick. I didn't even see them.
Item list updated, prices dropped.
email sent on item 59 (arcteryx jacket)
You need to start getting some clothing in big boy sizes!
Patagonia Pullover price reduced. Item has patched hole underarm. Weight is 7 oz.
@SamWhen are you shipping these items out?
Were there ever any backpacks listed on the sale? I didn't see any...
Poor Sam, he will think twice next time he is asked to list a bunch of gear to this unruly mob. He probably doesn't get paid enough for this kind of abuse.

A four-vehicle mishap on New Years Eve spread steel pipe across U.S. Highway 6 and caused one car to fly off a 40-foot cliff, landing on the Union Pacific Railroad tracks a short distance up Price Canyon.
The accident occurred Dec. 31 at 12:43 p.m. at mile marker 229.
According to the Utah Highway Patrol, Robert Toler, age 50 of Idaho Falls, Idaho, was reportedly traveling eastbound in a Freightliner hauling steel pipe when truck driver came around a corner and the load shifted.
The weight of the load purportedly caused the truck to tip onto its side and slide into the oncoming lane of traffic.
At that point, a Dodge Stratus driven by William Thomas, 38 of West Jordan swerved to avoid the tipped semi and the pipe spilling on the road.
In the process of averting a collision, the Stratus went over the embankment and landed on its top on the railroad tracks.
At that point, a Ford F-350 operated by Randy Nelson, 50 of West Valley, reportedly collided with the pipe-hauling truck and its load.
The force of the impact twisted the Ford pickup around into the back of the semi's trailer.
A second pickup driven by Chad Carlson, 26 of Salt Lake, also hit the semi, but went off the road on the cliff side of the highway with only minor damage.
The accident blocked all the lanes of travel on U.S. 6 and vehicles backed up in both directions for about an hour while emergency personnel extracted victims and tow trucks cleared the roadway.
At the scene, Nelson appeared to have shoulder and chest injuries, while Thomas reportedly incurred head, neck and knee injuries when his vehicle went down the cliff and onto the railroad tracks.
Both victims were transported to Castleview Hospital for medical treatment.
The mishap was initially reported as a fatal accident, primarily because the first witnesses at the scene could not see any movement from the Thomas vehicle.
However, when law enforcement officers arrived at the scene, the officers found Thomas crawling out of the wreckage.
"I told him that he should probably stay in it until we could extract him, but he wanted to get out of the car," said Helper Police Chief George Zamantakis at the scene. "I asked him if there was anyone else in the car, but he was somewhat confused, probably due to the trip down the cliff."
All occupants traveling inside the four vehicles involved in the mishap were wearing seatbelt restraints.
At press time, the accident was still under investigation and no citations had been issued.

CLAYTON The extension of the federal wind production tax credit is good news for Iberdrola Renewables, but the Spanish energy giant hasnt decided whether to move forward with the proposed Horse Creek Wind Farm.
The PTCs extension is unquestionably good news for us, the U.S. clean energy sector and the thousands of people working in this field, Iberdrola spokesman Paul N. Copleman said. But it is not the only factor affecting our ability to move any individual project forward.
More important, because Congress extended the 2.2-cents-per-kilowatt tax credit by only a year, Horse Creek would not be able to meet the deadline to break ground on its 126-megawatt project even if the developer starts a state Article X siting review process immediately.
Article Xs 12-month deadline for a siting decision regarding the construction and operation of electric-generating facilities of 25 megawatts or higher kicks in only after a developer completes a state-mandated pre-application process and the siting board chairman determines that a project application is in compliance with state requirements.
The siting board also is allowed to extend the review deadline by up to six months, although only under extraordinary circumstances.
We will see if there are opportunities to take advantage of the tax credit window, consistent with our near-term business plans, and are evaluating our national pipeline to see which projects under development represent the best opportunities to push forward, Mr. Copleman said in an email to the Times.
He said there are no cost estimates for the project yet and the developer, Iberdrola subsidiary Atlantic Wind LLC, is unsure how many turbines it wants to place in Clayton.
The developer last asked Clayton to consider a 48-turbine, 96-megawatt project, but in October suspended its application with the local Planning Board and told officials that it would seek a state siting boards approval for Horse Creek instead.

Perched along the sprawling Sahara Desert's northern expanse, Tunisia is not, at first glance, what you might expect from a world-class vacation destination. Yet this small slice of Africa's northern Mediterranean coastline is blessed with a surprising myriad of verdant groves, glamorous beach resorts and alluring natural attractions that convince millions of eager sun-seeking travelers to book flights to Tunisia every year.
Best Things to Do in Tunisia
- Explore the magnificent Sfax Medina, an ancient walled district containing the famous and bustling Souq des Etoffes, with merchants hawking wares of unbelievable variety
- Stroll along picturesque La Plage, a breezy coastal boulevard lined with cafés, perfectly suited for a romantic rendezvous
- Marvel at the intricate Zaouia of Sidi Boumakhlouf mausoleum, a colorful and strikingly decorated relic of the 17th century located underneath the Kasbah, still cared for and watched over by a distant descendant of those interred within
Discover Tunisia
Surrounded by sand in all directions, Tunisia is perhaps the last place you would expect to discover a verdant copse of flourishing trees, yet in Palmeraie you will find exactly that. Containing some hundreds of thousands of lush fruited flora, this massive fertile span is yours to explore.
Tunisia's Pleasures
Tunisia has more than its fair share of beach havens, from chic, resort-laden Boujaffar Beach to the heavenly offshore island of Djerba. At night, get a taste of the avant-garde with tickets to Tunisia's Théâtre de l'Étoile du Nord, a cozy and vital venue for local theatrical and musical performances.
Plan Your Tunisia Holiday
Many of the country's exotic inland towns are not visited by coast-craving tourists, making it easy to find cheap hotels in Tunisia right near the water and enjoy an authentic local experience at the same time. Before booking, be sure to log on to airberlin.com for a great selection of flight deals to Tunisia. Purchase your tickets to Tunisia with airberlin and you'll begin your vacation in comfort and style.

The images on this cartridges are perfect for canning labels, but they're also great for cards, cookbooks, scrapbooking, recipe cards and anything else you can think of. I made a little birthday card using the two strawberries and it's so cute. I can't wait to make a little cookbook and use these fruits as little decorations throughout. There's plenty of different tags, cards, labels, lids and of course there's fruit too!
I am using mine for my jam jars I sell and give away. I am excited to use it. It's taking a while to get it on the Cricut Craft Room, but I am glad I can save my project and then I can just bring it up to cut my next batch!

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- The Bacon Wave microwave bacon tray claims it can give you the frying pan taste without the frying pan.
The plastic tray holds up to 14 pieces of bacon. It's supposed to cook bacon to perfection with less fat, grease, cholesterol and calories.
Chef Dan Weiskopf helped me put it to the test. We used regular, thick cut, and turkey bacon. Cook times depend on your microwave wattage and how many slices you're using, which ended up being seven minutes for us.
The grease does splatter a bit in your microwave. The bacon tasted pretty darn good. It was crispy and juicy. When we compared it to bacon fried in a pan on the stovetop, well, it couldn't compare, but the Bacon Wave was a very good alternative.
The best part is the grease collects at the bottom of the tray and easily drains off. We couldn't believe how much fat we were able to drain off, so that was very nice.
We did find you have to be careful not to over-cook the bacon, because it will dry out. Instead of making it crispier, it just made it dry, so stick to the times they suggest and you may have to play around to your tastes.
We were impressed with the Bacon Wave. It's a nice alternative and easier clean-up for cooking bacon. We bought it online for around $16.
