Hayworth Hicks's old teammates Taylor Martin and S Troy Butler have committed to ISU, both from Antelope Valley CC.

Free Butler article: Scout.com: Martin Excited About Upcoming Trip To Ames
Are these good gets or what? I'm not finding anything on them.
Are these guys December grads?
Sounds like they were both in town for the game. I know that Chizik and his staff do a great job at emphasizing the campus atmosphere a lot, and also having the recruits spend a lot of time with current players. I like these pipeline sort of players, where somebody here can vouch for them. I think it usually reduces the character problems that some Juco's have as baggage. I am excited, I know that we could definitely use some depth at both S and DE next year.
"Dog Eat Dog"
Read the news
Someone win,
Someone lose
dont know much about troy butler.. taylor martin on paper looks like a beast. 6'3", 250 lbs, and runs a 4.7 according to rivals

Darius Reynolds, WR/QB
Taylor Martin, DE
Troy Butler, S
Anyone up on this, are they all 2 to play 2? If not, can anyone detail their years of eligibility at the next stop?
Let's hope Darius decides ISU is the place for him to be.
When FASCISM comes to AMERICA it will come wrapped in the FLAG and carrying a CROSS.

Thanks for the link! (It's gotta be free, one click and the story appeared.)
Guess we fans are good for something:
"The big thing was their fans. I had never seen fans like that," said Butler. "They were really great and they even knew all the players names."
And, he's a December grad. That's great news, too.
Who'da thunk we'd have two guys from Maryland on the team? (Christopher Lyle, iirc.)
Were these the 2 guys that were visiting Thursday night I'm assuming?
Nice to see the commits rolling in now...maybe we can get Money by the end of the week.
You can never have enough Dline.
I just hope the coaching staff continues to get the prospects they go after.
i want a DE committ soon... id be okay with this guy

Antique Western Silver Jewelry is our Specialty
Durango Silver Company has just created a new presentation on Antique Western Silver. This is an educational page that we have made for you to learn about Antique Western Silver and Antique Western Silver Jewelry from the American Southwest.
As our company has specialized in Antique Western Silver for over 40 years, we have a lot of great information to share with you and we have created a great presentation for you to learn about this topic.
Antique Western Silver Jewelry from the American Southwest is an American Heritage. The Native American Indians found Turquoise about 200 B. C. and have used it for spiritual purposes, they had made Turquoise Beads with it, Turquoise Jewelry and more. One of of the biggest Turquoise Trade periods was around 1000 A.D. when the Anasazi Indians were Trading Turquoise with the Myan Indians. A great trade empire was built at Chaco Canyon as a direct result of Turquoise Trade.

90. Roger Ward's 1932 Ford Roadster - Goodguys Denver Top-100Written by on June 6, 2008 Street Rodder / Turtle Wax Top-100
Pure class-that's the best way I can think of describing Roger Ward's slick Deuce highboy. Roger is known nationwide for building and painting some of the most outstanding street rods, customs, and classic trucks in the country, but his aversion to the spotlight keeps him on the fringe and out of the limelight, more often than not. That said, I just couldn't stop myself from stickin' him in the limelight and giving him and his beautiful roadster a Top 100 pick at the Colorado show. Roger's Wescott's-bodied '32 is outfitted with a Du Vall windshield, a 383 stroker/TH350/9-inch combo, and a quartet of American five-spokes. And, of course, a paintjob that's as flawless and smooth as a pinup's behind.

excellent start!
excellent start!
It's a good map, Moskva - and a great first map.
The land outlines are pleasant and interesting - one readily imagines where ocean commerce thrives, where corsairs might flourish, where I want to own the ferry franchise :-). The colors look nice, but you don't need quite so many. Five will usually do, unless you have some discontinuous ownership - enclaves and exclaves.
The lower reaches of some of your rivers could stand a little more looping and wiggling, maybe. The lightest blue nation color is awfully close to your water color - not a fatal flaw, just mildly puzzling at first. Your terrain shading is so subtle I can't tell for sure, but the strings of islands at Casaiae may lack a reason for existing - the most obvious way to justify them would be to be continuations of an onshore set of mountain ranges. The font you're using for oceans is a bit of a mismatch - if whomever hand-lettered the nation names could get those labels nice and crisp, there would be little reason his larger ocean names would be irregular or blobby.
Nice work. Are you going further with it - cities, small countries' names, etc?
This is merely a political map, I struggled with the colors to be honest. Ill change a few colors , I needed many because of the western peninsula which is full with mini-countries and city states.
But I'll edit it to use less colors.
I'm working on a map which shows terrains/mountains and smaller cities/towns. There is indeed a onshore set of mountains there.
I'll be posting a version with cities on it in a while, it takes forever adding 100's of cities and towns.
I'm going to change the ocean/bay naming fonts too .
хорошая карта так держать
я так понимаю она создана под влиянием варахамера?
если я не ошибся, то ты земляк, если все же ошибся напишу перевод)
No one had gave you rep yet? So let me be the first, because this map is comming very nice indeed.

Newbie needing mid-range first guitar advice
I'm wanting to start learning the guitar as my job is pretty much two weeks working away two weeks off so I get lots of free time whilst my friends are at work. It's going to become a serious hobby so I don't mind investing money in good quality gear.
I won't be playing on any stages or anything like that so will only need a practice amp.
I've been playing drums for 8 years but I'm a complete novice when it comes to guitar so I'd just like some advice on some versatile guitars.
Budget? - Guitar + Amp = £800 to £1200 ($1250 - $1900) (figure spending more will stop me giving up at the more frustrating parts of learning)
Favorite Artists? -I love and would like to learn all genres of music, but my top 10 artists would be: Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Hollywood Undead, Slipknot, Blink 182, Sum 41, Volbeat, Muse, Velvet Revolver, Oasis.
Preferences? - From my little trip to the local music shop I found that Telecasters/SG bodies felt most comfortable for me, but I didn't have any issues with any bodies except for the more 'metal' type guitars like the ones Kerry King/Dave Mustaine use (I don't know what those body types are called sorry).
There were three guitars I really liked but two of them were signature models so I'd probably be paying over the top just for a name I guess. These were:
Schecter Zacky Vengeance ZV Blade
Fender John 5 Tele HHH
Gibson SG Classic Faded
Pickups? - I'd like to be able to play a wide range of music so whatever the most versatile pickup set-up is
New or Used? - As long as it's in good working condition I really don't mind.
Location? - Aberdeen, Scotland, UK
Current Gear? - Don't have anything just looking for an amp and guitar for now, not interested in effects pedals and those extras for now.

Split your budget 55% amp, 35% guitar, 10% pedals. You'll be wanting a decent tube amp, because that will mean more to your sound than anything else.
While this means you may not be able to afford one of the guitars you listed, you should be able to find a number of Tele, Strat and Superstrat type guitars, new or used, from a variety of makers.
Besides Fender, look for guitars from G&L and Godin. Both offer SSS, HSS, and HSH guitars comperable to or better than Fenders in the same price range.*
And with the list of artists you gave us, I'm thinking a HSS or HSH guitar is really what you want for maximal flexibility.
(Downside: many guitars like that will have a tremolo, which can be a headache, especially for a new guitarist.)
Godin has a subsidiary called Richmond that offers a nice hardtail HSS guitar that should deliver that flexibility without the hassle of a trem: http://www.richmondguitarscanada.com/belmont.html
You might also want to give Stevens guitars a call: http://www.stevenscustomguitars.co.uk/index.html
He's a UK luthier who seems to specialize in Teles, and his prices Str at £1000. Not only might he be able to get you EXACTLY what you want in a custom, you might be able find a used one.
Wish i could help you more, but I can't really speak to much to the SGs. I have only become interested in SG type axes in the past few months, and most of the Gibsons just leave me cold. Saw a nice one in metallic blue sparkle, but that was it. The only other "SGs" on my radar are the Malden Bulldozer and the U.S. Masters Hornet...and the Hornet is on the high end of your budget.
* Personal note- I actually prefer the feel of G&L and Godins to Fender. That is not a knock on fender, just that those makers' guitars feel better in my hands than do Fenders. You might not agree.

It occurs to me you said:
In that case, you might just want something like one of these:
Boss Micro-BR 4 track
Pocket POD
Tascam GT-R1
Korg Pandora Mini
Korg Px4
Korg Px5
Get some good headphones and stock up on batteries, and you're golden! And it will leave 98% of your budget for your guitar!

No. 1 ALABAMA 42
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon gave top-ranked Alabama a pair of 100-yard rushers in the same game for the first time this season and the duo combined for five scores in a soggy, weather-delayed game.
The defending national champion Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) led 21-0 late in the first quarter en route to their 10th straight victory, all by 19 or more points.
They did just enough right after that to disappoint the few thousand fans who didn't leave for good during a 38-minute delay due to lightning with the Crimson Tide awaiting the extra-point kick for a 28-0 cushion after Yeldon's second scoring run with 8:40 to go in the half.
No. 9 LSU 23
No. 3 South Carolina 21
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - LSU freshman Jeremy Hill announced his arrival as a big-time running back with both tackle-breaking power and breakaway speed on a 50-yard scoring run that was too much for South Carolina to overcome.
Hills finished with 124 yards and two touchdowns in his breakout performance, and the ninth-ranked Tigers handed No. 3 South Carolina its first loss of the season.
No. 4 FLORIDA 31
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The fourth-ranked Florida Gators remain perfect thanks to quarterback Jeff Driskel running the ball better than even Tim Tebow.
Driskel ran for 177 yards and three touchdowns, and the Gators remained undefeated going into their big showdown with No. 3 South Carolina.
The quarterback threw for only 77 yards and ran only 11 times. But the sophomore set the Florida record for yards rushing by a quarterback, topping Tebow's 166 yards against Mississippi in 2007 on 27 carries.
No. 6 KANSAS STATE 27
AMES, Iowa (AP) - Quarterback Collin Klein ran for 105 yards and three touchdowns to help K-State hold off the Cyclones and beat them for the fifth straight time.
Klein also threw for 187 yards for the Wildcats (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), who remain unbeaten heading into next week's showdown with West Virginia.
No. 10 OREGON STATE 42 BYU 24
PROVO, Utah (AP) - Cody Vaz passed for 332 yards and three touchdowns in his first start since high school.
Vaz was filling in for Sean Mannion, who is out indefinitely with a left knee injury.
Oregon State is 5-0 for the first time since 1939.
No. 11 Southern Cal 24 Washington 14
SEATTLE (AP) - Anthony Brown blocked a punt and returned it 21 yards for a touchdown, Jawanza Starling forced a key fumble, and USC overcame an inconsistent offense in.
Silas Redd rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown in the first half and Matt Barkley added an 18-yard TD pass to Xavier Grimble as the Trojans continued rebuilding their resume following last month's loss to Stanford that appeared to end their national championship hopes.
No. 13 OKLAHOMA 63
No. 15 TEXAS 21
DALLAS (AP) - Damien Williams broke off a 95-yard touchdown run for the longest rush in Red River Rivalry history, Blake Bell powered his way in for four TDs and Oklahoma got its second straight blowout of Texas.
Landry Jones threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns, and fullback Trey Millard had a career-best 119 yards receiving as the Sooners (4-1, 2-1 Big 12) added another rout to Bob Stoops' impressive rivalry resume.
Stoops is now 9-5 against Mack Brown and responsible for three of Oklahoma's five most lopsided wins over Texas - and that doesn't include last year's 55-17 clobbering.
The Longhorns (3-2, 1-2) couldn't get a stop and never got their offense going, then lost quarterback David Ash to an apparent left wrist injury in the fourth quarter.
No. 20 RUTGERS 23
PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) - Duron Harmon scooped up a blocked field goal attempt and ran 75 yard for a tie-breaking touchdown early in the third quarter and Rutgers rode its defense and special teams to 6-0.
Big East Conference defensive player of the year Khaseem Greene forced three fumbles and intercepted a pass as Rutgers (3-0) became bowl eligible for the seventh time in eight seasons.
No. 21 CINCINNATI 49
CINCINNATI (AP) - Deven Drane scooted 76 yards for a touchdown after picking up a fumble and Munchie Legaux threw two TD passes, including a 78-yarder to Travis Kelce.
The Bearcats (5-0) stayed perfect but the Rams (4-3), playing up a level from the Football Championship Subdivision, hung around for a half. The win was Cincinnati's 24th straight in nonconference games at Nippert Stadium and upped its overall winning streak to eight in a row.
No. 24 BOISE ST. 20
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - D.J. Harper rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown and Joe Southwick threw for another score.
Harper was the leader of a Boise State (5-1, 2-0 Mountain West) rushing attack that chewed up 215 yards on the ground and propelled the Broncos to their fifth consecutive win and seventh straight over the Bulldogs.
No. 25 MICHIGAN 45
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Denard Robinson threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores, brushing off an undisclosed injury as well as the Illini.

I've heard mention of side chaining or side chain compression in reference to electronic music (specifically Daft Punk). What is it?
migrated from video.stackexchange.com Feb 13 '14 at 5:13
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
With standard compression, the level of the input is used to control the compression. So, when you have loud levels on the input, the compressor works with the input signal and knocks them down, sending them to the output.
Side chain compression has two inputs. One is the signal to be processed, and the other to control the compression. You hear it a lot in electronic music where the kicks come in and everything else ducks out of the way and comes right back after the kick.
So with side chain compression, when there is a loud level on the side chain input, the levels of the regular input signal are reduced.
Brad's schema is correct.
Additionally, using the side-chain gives you an important feature: it allows you to filter the input signal separately, before it is fed to the compressor.
This way when the signal has transients outside this frequency range, the compressor doesn't hear these and doesn't react.
It's a side-chain, because it's still the complete signal that gets compressed and sent out.
This way, the sound of e.g. the snare drum doesn't trigger the gate.

Immunodominance lies at the heart of the immune system's ability to distinguish self from non-self. Understanding and possibly controlling the mechanisms that govern immunodominance will have profound consequences for the fight against several classes of diseases, including viral infections and cancer. In the first phase of this project, we focus on computational modelling of MHC class I peptide editing.
Molecules encoded within the genetic region known as the major histocompatability complex (called MHC class I molecules) direct cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) towards virus infected or cancerous cells, thereby destroying them and preventing disease progression. MHC class I molecules work by binding to peptide fragments arising from intracellular protein turnover and presenting them on the cell membrane where they can be recognised by CTL. Most cells will therefore present an array of tens of thousands of different peptides at their cell surface, some of which will be unique to virus infected or cancerous cells. The efficacy of a CTL response to these peptides depends to a large extent on the ability of MHC class I molecules to select only a limited number of the many billions of different peptides that could be generated by the random hydrolysis of all intracellular proteins. Peptide loading of MHC class I occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is assisted by multiple cofactors which are thought to enable the selection process. Of these, only the molecule tapasin appears to influence the relative abundance of high, medium and low affinity peptides loaded onto MHC class I. A full understanding of the molecular mechanism of peptide editing within the ER is important for our understanding of immunodominance: the predominance of some CTL specificities over others during an immune response, which could ultimately determine its efficacy. Our understanding of peptide editing in the ER is currently limited by a lack of an analytical framework for the description of the experiments. Hence, we have created a functional model of the interaction between MHC class I, peptide and tapasin as a first approximation to test possible molecular mechanisms underlying the peptide editing functions of tapasin. Our modelling shows how peptide editing and enhanced presentation of high affinity MHC peptide complexes is achieved by a combination of the chaperone tapasin and kinetic control of the binding mechanism. From this model we propose a general mechanism of kinetic filtering, which explains how MHC class I is able to discriminate between peptides of different affinities. We use this to propose a set of hypotheses that account for the nature of allelic differences in peptide editing. We arrive at a concise model that enables a quantitative description of peptide editing, which is compatible with current biological observations.

On April 10th 2013, I followed the certificate instructions here: Administration Console and CLI Certificate Tools - Zimbra :: Wiki for creating new self-signed certs and installing them, and all went well. It was just brought to my attention though, that zimbra web users are still receiving the certificate warnings (which is ok for some errors) but the "expired cert" one is especially disconcerting. I've tried across multiple machines and browsers, and in all cases it shows the certificate being expired. Expired on the same date as the one that I replaced in using the admin console last week. I find it odd that installing a new self-signed certificate using the admin console rectified the issues with expired certs everywhere but with zimbra's web server. Server info:
By going to admin console, clicking Certificates, I can see valid expiration dates for Zimbra ldap, mailboxd, mta, and proxy as April 10 2013-2014...exactly as it should. I do not, however, see anything regarding web server/services/client. I'm throwing in the towel and asking for help. How can I resolve this? Apologies in advance if this is covered elsewhere, but I've been searching for some time and cannot find an answer.Code:

Cosmetics and beauty products generally treat your skin and hair as separate entities, but it is essential for hair care products to treat the scalp as well as the hair follicles. Quintessence Skin Science Conditioners have been developed by dermatologists to ensure that your scalp's health is considered during your hair care routine. Styling products, hair dye, direct sunlight, dirt, pollution, dead skin cells, and other environmental debris can all rest on your scalp and deplete your hair's levels of healthy nutrients and shine. While Quintessence Skin Science Conditioners seek to leave hair smooth and replenished, these products also provide extra care for your scalp to keep your whole mane beautiful and healthy.
The products in the Quintessence Skin Science Conditioners line are targeted to treat your hair and scalp for optimal health. As these formulas were developed by doctors, you can be assured that the needs of your hair and scalp have been carefully considered. Quintessence Skin Science Conditioners treat your hair follicles and scalp with great care and an expert focus on your hair's health, shine, strength, and protection.
When spending time in the sun, most people know the importance of applying a trustworthy SPF product to protect the face and other exposed areas of skin from UVA and UVB rays. Despite this increased focus on sun protection, many individuals do not consider the direct sunlight that their head receives when spending time outdoors. Quintessence Skin Science Conditioners work to protect your hair throughout the day and provide special care and protection against sun damage.
Many conditioners claim to leave hair silky and shiny, but do little to improve the health and texture of the hair. In fact, many hair care products ignore the needs of the scalp altogether. Quintessence Q-Sunshade Leave In Hair Conditioner and Scalp Protectant SPF 30 provides a pick-me-up for tired hair follicles and broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen protection for your scalp. Green tea extract and vitamin E work together to pamper your hair and scalp and provide antioxidant protection against environmental elements. The leave-in conditioner helps to develop vibrancy and shine, leaving hair looking and feeling healthy. This formula is suitable for damaged or color-treated hair, as it helps to heal hair and keep it shiny and vibrant. The ingredients are gentle and can help to extend the life of expensive color treatments. Natural silk proteins and natural oils work to nourish and revitalize damaged or dry, brittle hair. Quintessence Q-Sunshade Leave In Hair Conditioner and Scalp Protectant SPF 30 provides UV protection for the scalp and hair, preventing sun damage to areas of skin that are often neglected by typical SPF products.

Little Black Dress of Your Dreams
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: xs
I grew up hearing about this famed "little black dress" that every woman needed to have, but all through my adulthood I could not find that versatile little black dress that would effortlessly transition from a funeral to a bar (a natural progression, I think). Now my search is over. I've found the dress of my dreams and it's easily the sexiest thing I own. While I'm not a big fan of the sash because it clutters up the clean lines of the dress, it is removable. I wanted a more formfitting dress so I got an XS. My dimensions are 37-27-38
perfect for all occasions
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I adore this dress. I have it in green (last years model maybe?) and I love it. It's soft and comfortable without being too hot or scratchy. I agree that the neckline is way more revealing than the picture shows but I still like it, more conservative folks can pop a bandeau underneath and solve any issues with that.
I really like the length of it on me, I'm 5'3 120lbs with longer legs and the small hits me a few inches above the knee. I feel like the slightly longer length and covered shoulders balance out the low neckline too.
And with the belt its like I get two dresses in one! When I want it casual I leave it unbelted and when I'm dressing up a little I wear it either with the belt provided or one of my own. It's just so versitile you can wear it with heels or flip flops or anything in between.
The wool aspect is really nice too because it travels well, doesn't wrinkle and is super easy to sink wash and hang dry should it ever get ice cream all down the front (woopsie!). It doesn't ever smell, and I've even thrown it on smelling a little funky myself and it's hidden my musk surprisingly well.
All in all its one of my go to dresses and a staple in my travel wardrobe.
Great for short athletic girls...too!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I'd previously jonesed over this dress in years past, but found the fit wasn't flattering for my body.
Icebreaker has retooled the fit for 2014 and I am MUCH happier with the fit! I am 5'3" and 120 lbs and I took the size small. I have curvy hips and a fairly small bust.
Besides a great fit, I like this dress for its versatility. It effortlessly masters both casual and dressy depending on how you accessorize. It's very comfortable and I like the wide boatneck neckline. On me I would say the neckline is MUCH more revealing than that pictured on the model above.
I prefer to pair this dress with leggings as it seems to be more of a tunic fit than a dress, though I do wear it on hotter summer days with my bare legs.
This product is easy to launder and take care of, which I know is always a concern with wool. I NEVER dry mine in the dryer, as I prefer to hang it up nicely and allow the air to 'take care' of the wool.
Highly recommend.
Great for tall athletic girls
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
I am 5'11" and a strong built 160 lb girl. This dress looks great on and fits me like a glove. Being so athletic I tend to feel a bit mannish looking in non workout clothes, but I think I look really feminine in it. The neckline is nice because it is low but not risqu� and the dress itself is short but not too short... I get lots of compliments when I wear this dress! I feel like I got a sweet deal on a keeper merino wool dress!
Great for short athletic girls too : )
Great dress!
I really loved this dress - and if I were 10 years younger I would keep it. However, this dress was really short on me and I don't think I can get away with wearing mini-dresses at my age!!! Unfortunately am returning.
Love this dress!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Total score, super versatile, wear it everywhere. I love this dress. I own two colors. Never needed to wash them, because they're beautiful merino wool. Perfect for traveling, layering and great for everyday wear.
Nice dress, poor fit
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I had very high hopes for this dress. It's very nice looking and a wonderful fabric. The lotus color is great. I originally ordered XS based on research on various sites, but it was quite snug in the bottom. I exchanged it for a S, but it still didn't work. I'm slim (5'5" 110 lbs), but both the XS and S were too snug in the bottom. So it seems for this dress, I would be an XS up top but a M on the bottom. This surprised me since I am a S or XS in almost everything and typically a 2 (or sometimes 0) for pants. Sadly, I will need to return the S also.
Looks great
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
I got this for my fiancee and she really likes it. It's a great looking dress with all the benefits of being made of merino wool.
Favorite dress
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have it in black & lotus. Super flattering & simple. The wool in this newer version is very soft, but the "improved fit" seems about the same. My favorite dress, by far! I'm 5'10", very slender with an athletic build (wiry), around 125-130 lbs. The XS fits perfectly. With tights and boots great in winter. Sandals in summer.
Great basic travel dress
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love my Villa Dress! It is perfect for travel or daily wear. Plus Icebreaker has re-done the fit on this for Fall 2013. You can wear it with the belt or without- tunic style. So versatile!
How is this year's fit different from the previous version?
Hey Nicole, I too would like to know how the fit changed, as the 2013 and older versions didn't flatter my body type!
Icebreaker Villa Dress - Women's
Is this dress pretty form fitting? I'm 5'2" and 115lbs. I normally wear an XS but I don't want it too snug or clingy.
It is a slimmer fit. I would go with a small on this dress.
I really want this dress in Cognac. However, there's only an XL left. I am 5ft 8, 148 pounds. While the XL might fit me in length I'm worried about it being too big everywhere else. Could I possibly shrink it?
I found it on 6pm.com in Cognac and all sizes.
How has the fit on this new 2014 version...
How has the fit on this new 2014 version changed from the 2013 model? I want this so bad, but the fit was off when I tried last year's model!
Being that I have no self restraint, I went ahead and bought this to give it a look for myself. I can now answer my own question.
Fit is better - I can't quite recall why, but the previous version of this dress DID NOT flatter me and I returned it.
I am 5'3" and 120 lbs, the size small fits great. It's not too tight and it's not too loose. It's really quite comfortable.
Something that I couldn't tell from the pictures, the cinch belt actually loops around the waist 2-3 times, so you can also loosely tie it for a nice, textured look.

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A St. Mary's County man has pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting two girls to produce child pornography.
According to a statement of facts, Anderson began molesting a girl when she was 11, and when she was 13, he produced images documenting the abuse.
Prosecutors say Anderson also sexually exploited a 15-year-old girl, again documenting the abuse.

The Czech Republic will travel to Spain to meet on Armada territory for the Davis Cup final after both teams secured dominating wins this weekend.
The defending champs, cheered on the sidelines by an still-injured Rafael Nadal, crushed Israel 4-1 while the Czechs overwhelmed Croatia by the same scoreline and reached their first DC final in 29 years. Damn - what took ya so long?!
Congrats to both teams for their big wins. The Czechs will have a tough time, though, stealing the title away from the Spaniards especially if they face off in the spectacular Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas in Madrid with a Rafa-led Armada on red clay. But, you never know.
The final will take on December 4-6.
My fave pic from the weekend came courtesy of Italians Simone "The Beautiful" Bolelli + Potito Starace for obvs reasons (at least to me.)

anyone home?
What I want to know is, did Rafa tear that muscle when you were on top, Richie, or me? ;)
OMG natch is back! LOL well I was here in NYC and not in Cincy when it supposedly happened to him.ReplyDelete
So the question is: where were you???
In Cincy. *whistles innocently*ReplyDelete
I brought you a present. Wait, let me go get it...
...Here it is:ReplyDelete
10. Mrs. SpankMe Stefanki is not a big fan of mine.
9. Based on the amount of it in the locker room, Rogaine should become an ATP sponsor.
8. Carlos Bernardes is the funniest Chair Umpire. By a mile.
7. Nobody throws a party like the Frenchies. Merci beaucoup, merci beaucoup, mes amis.
6. Marat Safin can have a quickie anytime, anywhere…with pretty much anyone. Am I right, Marat?
5. You can buy condoms in bulk at any Costco across the country!
4. Ross!
3. ATP trainers have lots of interesting items in their bags that can be used for all kinds of activities besides tennis. (Thanks, boys!)
2. Practice courts are to be used for practicing TENNIS only. (Dammit!) *puts away whip and cinnamon oil*
And the Number One thing I learned on the ATP Tour…
The young man from Mallorca? Doesn't always wear his underpants.
Am I dreaming? *pinches self*ReplyDelete
LOVE LOVE LOVE the ATP update!!! How I missed thee. Welcome back.

I will only believe this with photographic evidence.
Aw, sorry, Anon. Have you ever seen photographs with people's heads cut off, or the photographer's finger ruining the picture? Those are the kinds of shots I take. Besides, anything I saw flopping on Rafa I pounced on, rather than look for a camera! ;)ReplyDelete
I'm bound by contract, so I can't say too much. But I CAN say that every time I opened a closed door, Marat was having sex with somebody new. No wonder he had no energy to win a match! Alright, I'm exaggerating...but not by much.
at least let us know was he wearing WHITE SHORTS without undies?! ;)ReplyDelete

I'm new to the tennis scene. The first tennis matches I ever watched were Rafa defeating first Sam Q and then Andy R in the Davis Cup, this time last year, at the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas. The atmosphere was fantastic. I'm so glad they are returning to that venue for the championships.ReplyDelete
And, because it is a bullring, the American announcers were filled with metaphors and comparisons of Rafa as the bull. It was priceless. They didn't even seem to mind that he was, single-handedly, crushing the Americans.
*empties out bag of stolen Rafapanties on floor*ReplyDelete
Now tell me natch, was it worth my effort?
HA HA! The only times I saw it was when he was done with a practice session. He had showered and changed, but not into street clothes. I don't know, maybe he was going to practice again, or was waiting for his physio to show up? But when I saw him like that, I would drop EVERYTHING and grab my sketchpad! ;) (What a shame I can't draw.)
THANK YOU! I'll send ya a sketch.
- AnonymousSeptember 22, 2009 at 2:08 PM
Ok natch, I will, however, settle for as vivid a description as you can give. Details may be embellished as you wish.ReplyDelete
High guys haven't ventured this way before & don't know why. Ever since I almost (well did) wee my panties from laughter over the tighty whiteys blogg I've been closet drooling ever since.ReplyDelete
So natch you may not sketch but your narratives will do fine. Give us hair by hair blows (you wish). Leave nothing out (or in, be it in this case). :) :-)

Motorola Atrix
Built around a 1GHz dual-core processor, the ATRIX is a high-spec handset that can run multiple apps at the same time and switch quickly between them. It requires a large battery (1,930mAh), but it still fitted in our tester's back pocket and lasted a full day of active use.
The high-res screen was excellent for web browsing and for viewing photos taken on its 5MP camera.
The Android Market is well-stocked with travel-related apps. We found Wikitude, which uses augmented reality to identify places when viewed through the phone's camera, and Google Goggles, which recognised buildings when we were in Hong Kong, to be very helpful.
WIRED: Huge choice of apps
TIRED: Expensive; heavy battery

The red nun buoy in this picture is much easier to recognize than the one in yesterday's picture that was loaded with ice. This buoy is around a bend in the channel, so it doesn't get the breaking waves that the outer buoy does...I believe that is why it is not covered in ice. This part of the channel still gets swell coming in, which breaks up the ice.
Tue Feb 8 10:32:04 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
Below and to the left of the lighthouse, what looks like a floating piece of ice is actually a red nun (buoy with a pointed top), marking the entrance channel to the harbor.
Thu Feb 3 17:10:48 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
Wed Feb 2 18:27:16 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
It warmed up to -10C (14F) and got windy last night and this morning. This is the entrance to the harbor where Issuma is. The waves broke up the ice a fair way into the harbor, but not as far as Issuma, which is still frozen into the ice.
Mon Jan 24 11:03:22 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
Outside the harbor yesterday, when it was cold (-19C/-4F). The misty areas of the picture are steam coming off the water and steam from the spray when the water hits the ice-covered rocks.
Today it warmed up enough to snow (for those not used to cold climates, snow requires clouds and clouds reflect heat back to the surface, so the coldest temperatures happen when there are no clouds--ie when it is not snowing).
Sun Jan 23 16:29:33 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
In contrast to the previous picture of sailing on a beautiful summer day in Labrador, here is where Issuma is today, locked in the ice, which is now covered with snow. Being covered with snow means the ice wont get thicker as quickly (because snow is a good insulator), which is good, as the thicker the ice is, the longer Issuma will be stuck in the ice.
and nice boat, isn't she?
Are you thinking you want her back :)
Fri Jan 21 7:53:58 EST 2011
As Issuma is still frozen into the ice, I can only dream about sailing :), so here is a picture of Issuma this summer in Labrador.
Jerry, s/v 'Kama'
Jerry, Happy New Year. I imagine one could still go sailing in NY harbor now, which would really be nice. Is your boat out of the water for the winter? While there is open water less than 100m from me, the boat is firmly enough held to the dock by the ice that I'm not going anywhere until it melts.
I have fond memories of sailing Rosemary Ruth in NY Harbor, both summer and winter.
I like the roller furling sails on Issuma, because the sails are all big (so physically harder to handle without roller furling gear) and it is a much wetter boat than Rosemary Ruth, so changing headsails on a furler-less Issuma while going to windward in a chop would be no fun.
I don't have a chartplotter on Issuma (though there is one on Rosemary Ruth), but use a laptop with charting software. A chartplotter would be better (because it is waterproof), but then I'd need all new charts, which would be really expensive. I find electronic chartplotting of any kind makes coastal sailing, especially singlehanding into harbors, much easier.
Best wishes on your trip to Nova Scotia, it is a nice place.
Tue Jan 18 21:58:11 EST 2011
To answer George's comment about the reels of rope on deck. One reel stores 100m (330') of 22mm(7/8") polyester and 10m chain. The other reel stores 200m (660') of 20mm (3/4") blue polyethylene rope (underneath a cover for UV protection).
These ropes are used for anchor rodes, sea anchor rodes, and as shore lines (tying the boat to shore as well as using an anchor to limit how far it will swing).
We used these ropes a lot in Labrador, where we often wanted either a second anchor or a shore line. Having reels makes it quick and easy to handle long ropes. Since it is handy to have the ropes available, I leave the reels on, even when not expecting to need them for anchoring, or shore lines.
The disadvantage of having these reels is that they are pretty heavy when the rope is on them, which is weight in the wrong place, and also that thay stick out, so the boat cannot go alongside a wall on the port side. Not being able to go alongside a wall on the port side is usually not a big deal, and has only occasionally been an inconvenience.
The rope reels are stainless steel with plywood bolted onto the ends. There is a solid stainless steel rod going through them which they turn on.
The picture was taken this summer in Hudson Strait. In the background is an ice floe with two seals on it.
Mon Jan 17 16:48:34 EST 2011, Toronto, Canada
Much less appealing a picture than one of sailing in Labrador in summer, this is how Issuma looks now, frozen into the ice. Note the icicles that have formed on the chimney.
Forecast is for warmer weather tomorrow, though not warm enough to melt the ice around the boat :(.
The BTU/hour rating of the Sigmar 120 diesel heater in the pilothouse is 5,000-12,000. The BTU/hour rating of the Dickinson Alaska diesel heater up forward is 6,500-16,250. I am in the process of replacing the Sigmar 120 with a Dickinson Lofoten, which has a BTU/hour rating the same as the Alaska, but should put out a lot more heat.
With the two heaters I have, the boat can be kept 25 degrees C (~45F) above the 0utside temperature, or 20 degrees C above the outside temperature when it is windy. I am hoping the bigger heater in the pilothouse will improve things.
I used the Delta-T both for insulation (mostly for keeping heat of the sun out of the interior), and for non-skid (they do not market it as non-skid), as the embedded ceramic particles mean the paint will never go on smoothly. I will soon be painting over it with epoxy with sandpaper grit particles (I am told this is what all the tugboats in NY use on their decks) to get a better non-skid surface.
My experience with the insulating paints is that they make a noticeable difference for thermal and acousitc insulation, however, they are nowhere near as effective as foam insulation. If I was ever to consider painting the bilge in Issuma, I might put a coat of thermal insulati
Those are interesting pumps in your links.
Sat Jan 15 18:57:36 EST 2011
This is a picture of Issuma in August, just north of Nain, Labrador, taken from the sailboat Evensong.
At present, Issuma is frozen into the ice in Toronto.
After I've set the storm jib, I often don't bother to take it down until I'm next motoring or going into port. When I take it down, it gets lashed ondeck, without a cover, until reaching port, so it doesn't see much less UV when lashed ondeck than it does when set.

Schools' Zero Tolerance Policies Spurring Debate

Waiting in line for the bus, a Pennsylvania kindergartener tells her pals she's going to shoot them with a Hello Kitty toy that makes soap bubbles....

Thank God I'm a Country Boy! "West Virginia......almost Heaven!" Cali is overcrowded and full of 'gang bangers'! WV is dirt poor and the 'hard rocks' can't even afford ammo for their blunderbus vintage weapons. Besides, everybody is related...'It's All Relative' as they say.

|It's time to get the annual flu vaccination
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Dr. Rachel Herlihy, director of the immunization program at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, is urging Coloradans to get their annual flu vaccination.
To get immunized for flu, contact a health care provider or visit http://flushot.healthmap.org to find a vaccination clinic in the area.
Family Practice of Holyoke is offering its seasonal flu clinic. The first dates were scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday Oct. 2 and 4. The final two days will be Tuesday and Thursday Oct. 9 and 11 at SunSet View 5:30-7 p.m. each night. Price for a flu vaccination during the seasonal clinic is reduced from the price if received at the Family Practice of Holyoke clinic.
Many grocery stores and pharmacies also offer these vaccinations, as well as some employers.
Herlihy said, "When getting your flu vaccine, it's an excellent time to ask your health provider whether you also should be immunized for pertussis, also called whooping cough. Colorado has seen an epidemic number of whooping cough cases reported, 849 since January.
"We are encouraging adults to ask their doctor about a Tdap vaccination for themselves and to make sure their children are up to date with their vaccinations. It's especially important for families with very young children, who are more vulnerable to whooping cough. Child care workers also should make sure they are up to date on their whooping cough vaccinations," she added
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends everyone 6 months of age and older get the seasonal flu vaccination. The vaccine is available as a shot or a nasal spray. Flu can strike anytime but is most likely to infect people between October and May.
This year's flu vaccination protects against three strains of influenza: the same strain of 2009 H1N1 that was in last year's vaccine and two new strains: an H3N2 virus and a B virus. The vaccination is the best way to protect from flu.
While flu often is treated successfully at home, it is a serious respiratory illness that can result in hospitalization and even death. It is difficult to predict how many persons may become ill from flu during the upcoming flu season, as the timing, severity and length of the season depends on many factors. During the past three flu seasons in Colorado, flu contributed to an average of 1,200 Colorado residents being hospitalized each season.
No pediatric deaths due to flu were reported in Colorado residents during the 2011-2012 flu season, but three pediatric flu deaths were reported during the 2010-2011 season and 12 pediatric flu deaths were reported during the 2009-2010 season.
People at high risk of serious flu complications include young children; pregnant women; people with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease; and people 65 years and older.
This year, a new state rule aimed at protecting patients from influenza requires licensed health care facilities to report vaccination rates of their employees. Health care workers can unintentionally pass the flu virus to their patients. The rule requires facilities to reach a threshold of 60 percent of employees vaccinated this year, 75 percent next year and 90 percent thereafter.

Opulent 70′s glamour was the reason for the season at Fashion Week's pièce de résistance, Marc Jacobs. And beneath the flowing wide-leg trousers, bright knits and peasant blouses, the beauty team presented an appropriately glitzy disco bunny: all huge, teased pompoms of hair and rich wines and plums on the lips. Check out the slideshow for the hits we'll be trying to recreate at home and the weirder flourishes we'll be leaving on the runways.

Tree Rounds

Riding home on a late afternoon I lost track of Lauren around Nieuwmarkt square, I rode on, figuring I'd meet her out front at home. Then she called me, saying I should return to Nieuwmarkt. When I did, I saw her sitting on one of the marble benches. Mind you, it was a very cold afternoon, and Lauren doesn't do cold, so to speak. She quickly corrected my confusion: "Just look at this, these trees are so cute & beautiful! and they smell great!" Another example of this Dutchie taking things for granted. The scenes that unfolded prompted me to take off my gloves and slip into the role of
bicycle culture photographer
. This culture would have it that people pick up Christmas trees by bike, just as they pick up their kids, groceries or any other item. It's the convenient thing to do.
We didn't end up buying one ourselves, as we'll be spending the week around Christmas in Milwaukee. I plan to smell their trees, too :).

In addition to English, degrees in art history, business administration, communication studies, geology, history, mathematics, physics, psychology, sociology, studio arts, and theater arts are available for transfer.
Degree Pathways were created as a result of the Student Transfer Agreement Reform Act (SB 1440 – Padilla).

The new law requires community colleges to grant an associate degree for transfer to a student once he/she has met specified general education and major requirements for the degree. Upon completion of the associate degree, the student is eligible for transfer with junior standing into the CSU system.

If you're looking for huge goggles, they don't come much bigger than Anon's largest, the Comrade goggle. The increased visibility of large goggles should be obvious, and the Comrade's massive spherical lenses feature a 3D curve, instead of the flat lenses found on old-school goggles. In addition to providing a grip of peripheral vision, the spherical polycarbonate lenses reduce distortion, for an unrestricted view when you're coming in hot from orbit. The low-profile frame sits snug against your face, thanks to the triple-layer face foam, and the pivoting hinge strap anchors help with helmet compatibility. Regardless of your chosen headware, the Full Perimeter Channel venting moves a ton of air to fight fogging. It pays to see everything in your path, and the Comrade is proof.
Proposition 65 Warning for California Consumers: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Very disappointed!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have the White/red solex version of this Comrade goggle. I have only used them this past weekend in Austria. First day was sunny as could be and fairly fresh powder and above freezing and they did ok (look great) but preformed below my expectations. They fogged and water got between the lenses. Day 2 had a all day snow of 30-40cm and below freezing. we were only riding backcountry and water got between the lenses and froze. spent the day trying to ride with no goggles.
My big face
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Picked a pair of these up for Christmas and they're a great set of lenses. My only gripe is that they aren't wide enough for my face since I have a huge head and they have a tendency to fog when it's below freezing. I owned a pair of EG2 which were better suited for me I guess.
Sick Goggle
Great looking goggle with an amazing field of vision. I put these on and instantly knew I had to have these.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Men's Road Bike Saddles in stock than that.View Similar Products
Selle Italia SLR TT Saddle $0.00
Where the SLR T1 Saddle, with its abundantly padded nose, is a focused attempt to lessen the discomfort you'd experience in a time trial, this Selle Italia SLR TT Saddle is actually a standard road saddle. There's no contortion of the shell, nor is there exaggerated foam or gel along the nose. What you get is a quite standard SLR shell with its 30% carbon construction. It's light, minimalist, and happens to be one of our best selling saddle shapes ever. And in this case, TT doesn't refer to time trial. Instead it means that the saddle is supported on tubular titanium rails.
Like all SLR saddles, the SLR TT has a semi-flat profile that offers up good support for your sit bones. It allows easy movement fore and aft should the need arise to get into an aerodynamic tuck and hammer down in a breakaway. The shell is injection molded nylon including 30% carbon fibers that provide a huge increase in strength while adding virtually zero weight. This way, the shell can be thinner and engineered for greater flex than a solid nylon shell. Covering the shell, Selle Italia uses lightweight EVA foam. It offers ample support and conforms to your rear end over the course of a season for a perfect fit. Full Grain Leather is given the nod for the topsheet. It's durable and hard to beat for comfort and aesthetics.
The Selle Italia SLR TT Saddle is 131mm wide and 275mm long. It's available in Black, Black/blue, Black/red, Black/green, and White/silver.

Great Saddle
I purchased this saddle from chainlove 50% off so i said why not try it out. Its super light and very comfortable. I took my bike for a ride with some friends without any cycling gear, just regular sweat pants, no cham, and i must say i was surprised that i was still comfortable after 2 hours of riding. My previous saddle wouldnt let me ride it without a cham for more than 20 minutes! I was using the cutter carbon saddle (which is garbage I know) but also used the prolgo saddle that came with my supersix 105. Well worth every penny, the leather is nice soft high quality leather and there is just the right amount of the memory foam to give you comfort and still save weight. Do not get confused by the TT it DOES NOT STAND FOR TIME TRIAL! it just means it has titanium rails.

Ultra comfort saddle
This saddle is designed to provide great comfort for leisurely riding on bike paths and urban circuits thanks to its women-specific geometry, its high-density polyurethane foam that distributes weight, the deep central channel that reduces pressure at the perineum area, and the elastomer shocks that absorb vibrations and shocks for a smooth ride.
You are the source of change. A legendary social movement fueled by bio-power and the knowledge that green is not a color it is lifestyle. For you we've designed a line that factors protection, performance, comfort, weather, and safety whether you are commuting cruising of conserving.
Designed and contoured for female riders.
