About Kris Allen
Although not the first contestant to play his own instrument on American Idol, Kris Allen benefitted more than most from the experience, and his coffeehouse singer/songwriter vibe earned him a first place finish in 2009. Pitted against powerhouse vocalist Adam Lambert during the show's finale, Allen emphasized his wide-ranging abilities as a musician, playing piano during a cover of "Ain't No Sunshine" and strumming the guitar for an acoustic take on Kanye West's "Heartless." The instrumental accompaniment paid off, as Allen won the competition on May 20, 2009.
Born in 1985 in Jacksonville, Arkansas, Kristopher Neil Allen embraced music at an early age. He took up the viola during middle school, earning a spot in Arkansas' all-state orchestra before teaching himself to play guitar several years later. While studying business at the University of Central Arkansas, he also focused on songwriting and recorded an EP, Brand New Shoes, with the help of two classmates. The EP's material showed traces of Jason Mraz's folk-pop. Moreover, it gave Allen enough confidence to audition for American Idol in mid-2008, and he returned early the following year as part of the show's cast.
Hailed as the competition's dark horse, Allen slowly amassed a TV following with performances of the Swell Season's "Falling Slowly," Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time," and Donna Summer's "She Works Hard for the Money." Although he shared a room with Adam Lambert throughout the season, Allen proved to be the stylistic opposite of his contender, whose theatrical performances often contrasted with Allen's unassuming demeanor and laid-back, guitar-driven arrangements. Such differences contributed to Allen's first-place victory, and the singer hit the road shortly thereafter on the annual American Idol tour. He also prepped his debut album for release in late 2009, working with songwriters and producers including Eg White, Chris Daughtry, and David Hodges. The album's first single, "Live Like We're Dying," was released in September and peaked at number 89 on the singles charts, followed two months later by Allen's self-titled debut album.
Allen returned in 2012 with his sophomore album, Thank You Camellia. Purportedly named after his house in Los Angeles, the album finds Allen working with a handful of producer/songwriters including former Sugarcult singer Tim Pagnotta, Nasri & Adam Messinger, and Boots Ottestad, among others. Included is the lead-off single, "The Vision of Love." ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi

See this guy? This guy fucked a dolphin. I'm telling you this not to out and shame him, because he is very proud of it. He's so proud of it that he wrote a fucking book about it, and I think it's supposed to be erotic. At the very least, this memoir attempts to validate this guy's weird delphilia (I may have invented that word) as something constructive, rather than rape.
Oh, but he really doesn't like when you call it rape. He's very clear in his uncomfortably informative FAQ that if the dolphin didn't want to be fucked, it would have killed him. And he's still alive, so the dolphin clearly understood the connection they made when he had sex with it. Seriously, the guy claims that because dolphins are smart animals, there's no question of rape like there is with children or the mentally disabled. Also, there's this gem.
Anyway, there's also a chapter from Wet Goddess: Recollections of a Dolphin Lover available for you to peruse at your disgusting, horrible pleasure. I got about five paragraphs in before I gave up, not because I was grossed out, but because I was bored. The most overtly sexual part of the whole thing is when he awkwardly uses "grope" to describe the process of trying to select a word. I do not think the whole book is like this. I think a lot of the book is more of a concentrated discussion of dolphin clitorises. (Basically, like the site's FAQ, but longer and more in-depth.) It's much better, not knowing for sure.
I don't know what to write in here because basically I am back from the dead like Laserious hooray here I am to talk about this stupid election.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Coaching Sid Thru The Years
by Paul on 01/17/07 at 11:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Terry Jones of the Edmonton Sun,
They all coached Sid The Kid when he really was Sid The Kid.
Can you imagine being the man who agreed to coach the little guys, who are usually more adorable than talented as they take to the ice for the first time like baby turtles heading to the ocean, and one of the tykes is Sidney Crosby?
Paul Gallagher coached Crosby when he was five years old and wore No. 8 in Tim Bits hockey here. He coached Crosby again when he was in bantam.

|A number of reasons
Detroit is the largest TV market that doesn't have an MLS franchise, so they'll want a team there for the potential television draw. DCFC has also done extraordinarily well in drawing crowds despite being only four years old. The area has done enough to prove that it can support an MLS team through that alone (and the MUFC-RM game selling out definitely helped the area's image).
Also, the Metro Detroit area is still huge (between 4-5 million depending on your source). It's not like the population has dwindled enough to make a huge difference.

|The new opening was at the
The new opening was at the Leppings Lane end--Duckenfield opened up an exit gate when the entrances became a dangerous bottleneck. As a result of not doing crowd control and failing to shut off the entrances to the pens when they were full, that exit gate led straight to the already overcrowded pens. The Hillsborough 30 for 30 does a fantastic job at explaining how Forest had several entrances available to them but Liverpool only had one (maybe two, can't quite remember).
Since the entrances were segregated by teams, only LFC fans died during this, as they were the only ones entering the stadium from that area. What's even more infurating is that the police control box is in line with the end where the crush happened. Extreme incompetence all around.

|In fairness...
Your post is worded confusingly. The first paragrah makes it sound like you're blaming Liverpool fans for Hillsborough. The fans weren't mixed in the terraces like you imply--Liverpool fans were in Leppings Lane, Forest were in the Kop. If anything, it sounds more like you're describing Heysel, where Juve and LFC fans were mixed due to UEFA's stupidity.

MLS has expressely stated that they want a team in Detroit. And given that the league is now expanding to 28 teams, they have the ability to put a team there. Detroit is likely the next team added after Sacramento. St. Louis and San Antonio are the other two cities to watch here.

Good for him. It's about time. And credit to him for finally getting that part right, even if I don't entirely believe that he did this on his own.
I will, however, shit on him for not pursuing this relationship with students in the first place. He never should have waited four years to do stuff like this. He never should have blown them off in the first place. It's too late to call this relationship "important" and not be laughed at. If it were actually important, he shouldn't have destroyed it in the first place.

See if they'd be willing to scrap the validation fee required for the student section. That should eliminate a few (or a lot) of the no shows since students can sell their tickets, and those who buy won't have to worry about paying an extra $40 or $50 in addition to the ticket.

|You want an actual rebuttal?
Fine. Here. The Free Press report was full of holes, misconstrued quotes, and other irregularities (to put it nicely). The entire student body knew it and therefore didn't take it seriously. Perhaps you forgot that the old BOX house put up a sign that said "Rosenberg punches dolphins" in response to the story. Athletics never gave anyone a real reason to protest those games because everyone involved knew the article was crap.
Contrast that with the attitude of the athletic department since Brandon has taken over. The students have been treated like crap. Donors feel alienated. The only ones who seem to be happy are the athletes themselves (I don't blame them for that) and those who have an obscene amount of money to donate.

|Wrong analogy
Yes the Madrid-United match was a great way to expand the sport in the US but neither one of those teams gave up a home match to play over here. It was part of a pre-season tour and was solely marketing based.
This, on the other hand, would be fine if they hadn't ended season ticket renewals five days before announcing it. A bunch of other people have beaten that to death at this point, but that's the main problem. Factor in that you just removed one of the two best games on the home calendar and it's a huge slap in the face to everyone who bought season tickets.

Detroit already has museums, an aquarium, and transportation—granted, this is the barest transportation system possible and it sucks.

Saying Klinsmann's style is un-American and that he should have been fired if the US had not made it out of the group stage is quite irrational. That and the fact that he's going to be doing games with Gus Johnson in 2018 is going to piss off a ton of people. Anyone who makes Gus look good on soccer broadcasts (at this point in time) should not be doing them.

|For reference
The Dutch flat out failed to qualify in 2002. This led to a documentary from a couple of Dutch filmmakers creating a documentary about the two worst teams in the world at that point (Bhutan and Montserrat) called The Other Final. It's worth watching if you have a chance just to see what it's like at the low end of the FIFA rankings.
Argentina also didn't get out of the group stage in 2002. Germany, Brazil, and Mexico are the only ones to have done it in the modern format. Argentina (and I bet a few others) did it when there was a second round of group games awhile back.

Yep. As for the transfer bit, there's a discussion ongoing about whether that holds up (transfers are apparently covered under article 23, not 22) so that should be interesting to follow as well.

|The bigger question becomes
The bigger question becomes whether or not those nine games are only for competitive matches. I would think that friendlies are included in that number, but not counting friendlies would be the harshest way to implement it (and probably the right one, too).
EDIT: Yanked from Liverpool's SB Nation site: The player Luis Suárez is to be suspended for nine (9) official matches. The first match of this suspension is to be served in the upcoming FIFA World Cup™ fixture between Colombia and Uruguay on 28 June 2014. The remaining match suspensions shall be served in Uruguay's next FIFA World Cup match(es), as long as the team qualifies, and/or in the representative team's subsequent official matches in accordance with art. 38 par. 2a) of the FDC.
· The player Luis Suárez is banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activity (administrative, sports or any other) for a period of four (4) months in accordance with art. 22 of the FDC.
· A stadium ban is pronounced against the player Luis Suárez in accordance with art. 21 of the FDC as follows: the player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium during the period of the ban (point 3). The player Luis Suárez is prohibited from entering the confines of any stadium in which the representative team of Uruguay is playing while he has to serve the nine-match suspension (point 2).
To me, it looks like not only can he not appear at any related functions, but this effectively serves as a transfer ban (see the administrative bit in point 2). Well done, FIFA.

I believe that is 9 FIFA related matches. The four month ban is the part to look at, since it essentially rules him out of club matches until the end of October. That isn't a small ban. In my opinion, FIFA actually got this right.

In almost every other group I'd say Howard is the best keeper, but Manuel Neuer is better than Howard. Without Neuer, Bayern doesn't have anywhere near as good of a season as they did this year.
That being said, Germany has a ton of injury problems right now (Lars Bender is now out with an injury) and Neuer also has a shoulder injury from the Deutsche Pokal final against Borussia Dortmund. That game is getting progressively more winnable as Germany's players continue to drop like flies.

Penn State required a donation of $102 million from Terry Pegula (owner of the Buffalo Sabres) in order to build a new arena and get the program started.

|Quick thing on Germany:
Quick thing on Germany: Bayern's run this year is going to break just about every German record there is (points, goal differential, clean sheets, earliest championship, etc.). This an unusual year, and considering the past standings, not indicative of a duopoly. Bayern finished second last year, but third the year before that, behind Leverkusen. Schalke finished second to Bayern in 2009/10. I wouldn't go as far as to declare an outright duopoly at this point, but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens either. Also, Dortmund was on the verge of bankruptcy about ten years ago, so their renaissance is all the more impressive.
The importance of the 50+1 rule in Germany cannot be understated. The rule stipulates that supporters must own more than half of the club, which prevents owners from acting as sugar daddies like at Chelsea, City, and PSG. Therefore, there will likely never be a German team that runs afoul of FFP (unless Schalke's situation gets worse, and that's a whole other story). As a result, the current two horse race in Germany is not because of FFP. Yes, Bayern can outspend everyone in the Bundesliga, but that's as because of their business practices/historical success, not FFP.
The thing to watch now is to see how UEFA enforces the rules. Malaga has been banned from European competitions for one year due to running afoul of these rules, but if UEFA wants to show that its policy has teeth, it needs to go after a team like PSG or City.

From Beyonce's dazzling tour costume to Rebel Wilson's DIY 'nip-slip', are trompe l'oeil breasts fashion's most daring trend?
Beyonce shocked fans with her dazzling 'body' costume on the first night of her Mrs Carter tour in Serbia this week, while Rebel Wilson raised eyebrows with her DIY 'nip-slip' at the MTV Movie Awards.
And it seems they are not alone: both stars' daring ensembles are part of an unlikely new fashion trend for trompe l'oeil breasts.
We have this season's Nineties revival to thank for the look. First seen at Jean Paul Gaultier back in 1992, breast motifs reappeared on The Blonds' spring/summer 2013 catwalk.
Breast in show: Beyonce shocked fans with her dazzling 'body' costume by The Blonds on the first night of her Mrs Carter tour in Serbia this week
DIY 'nip-slip': Actress Rebel Wilson sported a breast-shaped cut-out on her chest as she hosted the 2013 MTV Movie Awards on Sunday
And it appears that even today's jaded fashionistas are shocked by it.
Maureen O'Connor of NYMag.com believes trompe l'oeil breasts to be 'more titillating than the real thing.'
She points out that both Beyonce and Miss Wilson's ensembles are otherwise demure, with high necklines and long sleeves - yet the overall effect both surprises and confuses her.
'They're highlighting upper-body anatomy while actually covering all of it up'
'They're highlighting upper-body anatomy while actually covering all of it up - my first reaction is shock, followed by confusion about why I feel shocked,' she wrote.
Fashion writer Lauren Sherman is less bemused by the look.
'It doesn't offend me,' she told MailOnline. 'There's a David LaChapelle, trash-as-art thing going on. Real breasts are the only way to shock.'
The Blonds designers Phillipe and David Blond, who created Beyonce's showstopping costume, say that the body motif is a recurring theme in their collections.
Nineties revival: Jean Paul Gaultier first showed trompe l'oeil breasts in 1992. The look (left) was part of a 30th anniversary show in 2007. Most recently The Blonds revived the idea as part of their spring 2013 line (right)
Showing some front: In December 2007, Australian singer Kylie Minogue wore a sequined trompe l'oeil top on the cover of Q magazine, celebrating her recovery from breast cancer
'Our original inspiration came from Tamara de Lempicka's paintings of the female body,' they told Fashionista.com, adding that the effect was intended to 'give the illusion of [the body] being covered in crystallized honey.'
The design duo explained that to create the hyper-realistic shading, the suit was hand-painted on the singer's body.
'The piece was then hand embroidered with approximately 30,000 Swarovski crystals that took over 600 hours to apply,' they told the site.
It is not the first time since the Nineties that we have seen breast motifs though. Spring breakers will be familiar with the 'bikini body' cover-up favored by sorority girls.

Body went unnoticed for four days
Relevant offers
The discovery of a body in an Auckland state house which may have been lying unnoticed for up to four days has shocked residents living only metres away.
Flies gathering at the door of Raymond Preston's Community Ln, Avondale, flat alerted neighbours to the situation last Thursday after last seeing him at the start of the week.
There have been five similar cases across the city this year where bodies have been unnoticed for days or even weeks.
Police were called to the scene early in the afternoon and are still trying to find the 59-year-old's next of kin. Preston's body may be buried or cremated after a few weeks if no friends or family are found.
Neighbour Tau Nati said he knew something was wrong after he had not seen Preston for two weeks.
''I hadn't seen him for a while, he used to always walk to the library.
''Another neighbour and I went to look through the window, which was ajar, but couldn't see anything.
''But I knew something wasn't right and when I went to knock on the door I could smell it.
''It was like rotting meat. The thought came into my head that he was dead but I didn't want to believe it.''
Nati called the police who entered the flat and found Preston lying on his bed.
Preston was last seen alive last Monday morning walking around the housing complex.
He still had his belongings, including his vehicle, on the property on Tuesday.
The complex, owned by Housing New Zealand, is made up of about 40 single-roomed flats. The flats are mainly occupied by beneficiaries who share a communal laundry.
Acting Senior Sergeant Tim Lockwood, of Avondale, said initial signs indicated he had died of natural causes.
Lockwood said Preston's body was in the advanced stage of decomposition.
''Decomposition doesn't take too long in the summer heat and he was in the advanced stages."
Housing New Zealand tenancy services manager Angela Pearce said the organisation had a good relationship with tenants in the complex.
''Managers are now mobile spending around 70 per cent of their time out of the office visiting tenants.
''As this particular unit was kept in good condition it wasn't necessary to visit this tenant on a weekly basis,'' Pearce said.
Neighbours said Preston kept to himself a lot and could be short-tempered at times.
Nati said he never showed any signs of sickness.
''I feel sorry for him. If he was sick, why didn't he tell anyone?'

Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News
Each day, the steel framework seems to rise higher out of the ground, as construction workers, dressed in orange vests and hard hats, scurry back and forth between churning cement mixers, clawing backhoes and the half-dozen cranes that make up the city's temporary skyline.
It is an otherwise unremarkable scene except for one thing: In a down economy, the $1.5 billion City Creek Center is the last of the large, mixed-use projects still going up around the valley.
"Construction ... is well under way, on schedule and increasingly visible above ground," said Dale Bills, spokesman for City Creek Reserve Inc., a development arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Richards Court, a pair of 10-story condominium buildings on South Temple, will be ready for tenants in the first quarter of 2010, Bills said. A new City Creek food court will be open this summer.
At the KeyBank Tower, a redesigned lobby and new office space will open later this year.
Construction crews have also begun laying the framework for a retail center on West Temple, just south of what will be a 30-story residential building, Bills said.
When it is finished in 2012, City Creek will be a mix of boutiques, department stores, grocers, restaurants and more than 700 apartments and condominiums — a combination planners hope will pump life back into the city's struggling downtown.
"People on the streets make cities vibrant," said Frank Gray, Salt Lake City's community and economic development director. "Think back 10 years when the city was a bustling place during the day but became vacant at night. People walking around are what makes restaurants and grocers viable. (City Creek) will help move us from a boardroom city to a bedroom city."
The idea follows what developers did with The Gateway on the city's west side, mixing shops and apartments. City Creek is only one of numerous attempts to duplicate on the model on various scales throughout the Salt Lake Valley.
In most cases, however, a tightening credit market has made potential tenants leery of buying, causing lenders to pull funding for construction.
That's not a problem officials foresee afflicting the 20-acre City Creek project.
Where other projects have seen funding dry up, the LDS Church's substantial spending power should keep construction on target for a 2012 deadline.
Meanwhile, the church's development partner said the project's timetable is favorable as officials work to fill City Creek's shops with businesses.
"It's not easy in this economy," said Bruce Heckman, vice president of development for Taubman Centers Inc. "Leasing for projects opening this year is pretty tough for most people because of the uncertainty in the market. I think the fact that (City Creek) doesn't open for a couple more years here keeps it more on the radar than other projects."
The Michigan-based company has locked multiple retail tenants into leases, Heckman said, though he declined to name them or say how many were under contract.
Since its inception, however, City Creek has stirred up plenty of controversy — most notably the protracted battle between developers and the city over construction of a skybridge.
Stephen Goldsmith, a former Salt Lake planner who now teaches at the University of Utah, approached LDS leaders with a plan for the downtown property around the time the Crossroads Mall was demolished.
Goldsmith lamented what he called missed opportunities by City Creek and Taubman to reopen Richards and Regent streets, making downtown more pedestrian friendly.
Still, Goldsmith said City Creek would help revive downtown by luring tenants to the urban core and introducing a 24-hour population to the area.
"The fact that we're getting that mixed-use development down there, despite the problems, it's still a step ahead," he said.

Next, they defeated 12th seed North Central Texas 11-4 on May 15 before falling to 8th seed Central Florida 4-2 on May 16. Now in the losers bracket, the Lady Tigers still had a chance at the title and hung on through a 2-0 win against 6th seed Odessa and a 10-3 win against 7th seed Southern Union State before the final fall to nemesis Central Florida 6-3 on May 17, the final day of the tournament. In the end, Central Florida fell to first-time tournament winners Angelina College of Lufkin, Texas.

Her little cute face only got better once she started sucking a dildo that I gave her, which later she started masturbating with such pleasure, its sure to make any guy, or girl, bust a nut in matter of seconds. But wait guys. It gets better. Ryana is actually a rich girl. So imagine, having a fine ass rich girl stay at your apartment and in return you can do whatever you want to her. And I mean WHATEVER. Nice.
