Bandhani is a tie-dyeing technique practiced mainly in western India. Intricate patterns are created by wrapping the fabric with string before dyeing it. When the fabric is untied, natural patterns appear in the places where the string prevented the dye from taking hold. Bandhani cloth is often used for women's shawls, but here the technique is adapted for a silky pair of travel-ready garments. Made of a black knit viscose rayon, these pieces drape beautifully and expand your travel wardrobe by working as separates or as a set. Relaxed-fit, capri-length pants have an elastic waist. Made in Jaipur, India.

pants to 3 piece set
By lois
from ellicott city, md
this is a beautiful set and fits me well as a small.The only negative is that the pants are neither capri nor full length.They just look "high water" so I wear the waist down low on my hips under the blouse which solves the problem.

|Vandals topple North Texas
PORTLAND – After being on the wrong end of a double-digit margin on Thursday night, the Idaho men's basketball team got things turned around in a convincing 87-76 win over North Texas on Friday at the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in Portland, Ore.
The Vandals led by as many as 24 points in the second half and fought of a pesky North Texas team throughout the final 15 minutes in the win. Idaho senior Stephen Madison, who scored his 1,000th career-point against Portland on Thursday, paced the Vandals with 25 points on Friday, four shy of his career-best.
"For a large part of this game we played very well," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "We had a spirited effort tonight. I said to our guys, the team with the most energy tonight is going to be the team that wins."
Idaho took a nine-point, 42-33, lead into the second half when senior Glen Dean exploded with three made 3-pointers in the first 3:06 of the period, and Connor Hill joined in on the fun with another one in that stretch as Idaho built a 64-40 lead just over five minutes into the second half.
"It was nice to see Glen break out and shoot it the way I know he can," Verlin said. "We were able to free him a couple times off the high ball screens and he knocked them down. That's the kind of shooting team we are."
The Mean Green answered with a 12-0 run over the next five minutes to cut Idaho's lead in half, but Dean broke that up with another 3-pointer and Hill buried another one shortly thereafter to build Idaho's lead back up to 18. North Texas cut the deficit to nine points with under two minutes to play, but Idaho hung on for the win.
The Vandals improve to 3-2 with the win, and will wrap up the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at 4:30 p.m. (PT) on Saturday against Columbia. North Texas falls to 2-3 with the loss.
"It would have been real easy to be heartbroken after the way we played last night, but our guys came out and competed," Verlin said. "Hopefully next time we get in that position we can finish a little better than we did tonight, but I'm happy with the win and we're excited to face Columbia tomorrow and I couldn't be happier for our guys."
Dean finished with 16 points, the most of his young Vandal career, and added five rebounds and two assists. Hill added 12 points and four rebounds for the Vandals and Mike Scott scored eight. Madison's seven rebounds led the Vandals, who owned a 39-38 edge on the glass but gave up a 19-8 advantage in second-chance points to the Mean Green.
Idaho shot 50 percent from the field in the game, connecting on 33-of-66 shots and 8-of-18 3-pointers. The Vandals also hit 13-of-14 free throws in the contest, while North Texas got to the line 26 times but converted only 15 of those chances.

When you're planning your nursery, don't forget about a clock! In the early days, when you're timing every feeding and measuring input and output, you'll probably have your phone tied to your hip so you can jot down all the notes, and you'll always know what time it is. (Or, if you're old school like me, you'll tote around a notepad and pen.) But once you've established a schedule, you'll be less likely to grab your phone before heading down the hall for baby's midnight feeding, and you'll probably find yourself wishing for a clock check while you're up nursing your little one throughout the night.
As baby gets older, you'll appreciate having a clock in her room to count down the 10 more minutes of play before bed that you'll be talked into (trust me, I know), and sadly, even a few time-out tickings. And as much as I'd like to tell you the waking up in the middle of the night days will pass, I'm not sure they ever really do—when I escorted my 8-year old back to his bed last night, it was handy to know that he had made it all the way until 4 a.m. before he attempted to join us in our bed. (What can I say? The kid loves to snuggle.)
Here are a few of my favorite kid-appropriate clocks for a nursery.

November 24, 2010
Recently I was cleaning out my closet (meant to do it last spring, the traditional time for such a clean, but never quite got around to it). What did I find? A whole lot of pretty, billowy blouses. I used to wear them all the time, not so much as a fashion statement but more so much as a way to conceal my jiggly tummy from all the ups and downs of pregnancies (and possibly a few too many donuts).
I'm now happily back to my slimmer self, but the thought of wearing tops that will conceal the waistline I worked so hard to retrieve is maddening. That's when I tried topping one of said tops with, stay with me here, a vest. Not the sweater variety (if you own a sweater vest, part with it immediately), but a men's style one that looks like it once belonged to a three-piece suit. Only smaller, and more fitted (i.e. made for a woman).
The resulting style epiphany was that the vest was the perfect way to control the volume of the blouse. I know, I KNOW. Naturally, the minute I vested up I started noticing vests everywhere. Look for them, as they are most definitely having a fashion moment this season. How best to wear them? Well you're welcome to steal my billowy blouse trick (psst: let the blouse peak out of the bottom of the vest), but they also look perfectly chic over everything, including long sleeve t-shirts, thin crew neck sweaters, even dresses.

My bad habit has been dropping EVERYTHING to go surf from one ft on up. Surfs Up!

My bad habit has been dropping EVERYTHING to go surf from one ft on up. Surfs Up!
Trying to bury the rail and kill it on too small/weak a wave. Sometimes you just have to do flat turns, no matter how badly you want to lay down a HACK. I've blown more waves on that first top turn more times than I care to count. Usually happens on one of the first waves of a session, when I'm overamped before I settle down. It especially sucks when it's the best wave of the session... you can't get it back... you blew it and fell off like a kook on the wave of the day.
I will say that spending time on the log has made me correct a lot of my bad habits that I formed on the short boards. Going back to the basics is great for you.
i wish i wasn't so heavy footed... when i walk my longboards its sounds like thunder.
I try to generate too much power from my front leg on turns, particularly off the top. Bought a Carver skateboard about a month ago so have been practicing on land using my back leg. It's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. I hope.
1. being too low on the wave face pulling into the barrel. not sure why this happens but i think i need to be mindful of it. usually doesn't happen on days w/ lots of barrels but moreso when i'm not really expecting it? will cause me to pull out sometimes b/c i don't have enough speed to make it. really frustrating.
2. fear of pulling into barrel in really shallow water. not sure if this is a bad thing.
Not checking out different breaks to see if their going off.I have 3 favorite spots and don't check anything else.

The Buffaloes (7-14, 0-10 Pac-12) dropped their 25th-straight regular season conference match dating back to 2010. CU lost all 11 matches last season in the Big 12 and the last four in 2010.
Utah improves to 11-10 overall and to 3-7 in the conference. The Utes swept all three doubles matches for the point and five of six singles matches in straight sets. CU defaulted the No. 6 slot and already trailed 2-0 on the scoreboard before singles play began.
The Utes clinched the match at No. 1 singles as senior and No. 50 nationally ranked Anastasia Putilina won her last home match on Senior Day defeating sophomore Kristina Schleich, 6-4, 6-1.
It was CU's ninth shutout loss this season by a 7-0 score and seventh in conference play. Ten of CU's 11 matches against conference opponents are nationally ranked, as high as No. 1 through No. 44.
CU was the only school to go winless in conference play this season and will be the No. 11th seed entering the Pac-12 Tournament beginning April 26 at Ojai, Calif. (opponent to be determined).

ZF-6986: Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Instance describe can only return one instance.
If there is more than one instance running in EC2, Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Instance's describe will only return the last in the reservation set.
This is because onn line 253 the instances array is created and also replaces itself every time a reservation item is looped through.
The reservation id is also replaced since the data structure only allows one.
Yes I found this issue while doing ZF-6717 and it has since been fixed in my user branch and will be released with that update. It should be in 1.8.4.
This has been fixed in my user branch were I'm working on the update to the API version.

Rashun Dixon - Oakland A's Prospect
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 01 April 2012 08:00
Rashun Dixon #23 - Michael Choice #14
|Rashun Dixon - RF
Born: Aug. 27, 1990
|2012 Observations:
2011 Observations: Saw Rashun Dixon play all season for the Stockton Ports in 2011. He struggled most of the season at the plate mainly because he has trouble with breaking balls and off-speed pitches. Ended up hitting .243 in 456 AB's, with 135 SO. Dixon needs to display more plate discipline and is a prime candidate to head back to Stockton in 2012. Has some raw power, but hardly ever taps into it because he has trouble squaring up balls. Gets way out in front on breaking balls which leads to his high strikeout total. Played most of the 2011 season at 20 years old which is young for the California League. Defensively Dixon is average and moves well for a man his size. He played all season in RF, although he got into a game at CF for a brief couple innings. He projects as a LF/RF.
Dixon's brother, Anthony Dixon, is a running back for the San Francisco 49ers. Anthony would often attend Ports games during 2011 while the NFL was involved in their lockout. Each at bat, Anthony would pull out his phone and record the AB. It seemed like Rashun had a little bit more bounce in his step when Anthony was at the games.
Rashun can be one of the most engaging players on the team. Sporting a 1980's high flat top for much of the season, if you catch Dixon on the right day, he'll chat it up with you and usually make you laugh. Amongst the crowd, Dixon is one of the favorites in Stockton and he is one of the few players I'll yell at umpires for when he gets screwed on a call.
2011 Highlight: Very early on in the season Dixon hit an opposite field HR off Diamondbacks top prospect Tyler Skaggs. It was a fastball that Rashun just flicked his wrists and powered it out to RF.

Morris Chang
2011 IEEE Medal of Honor for outstanding leadership in the semiconductor industry
Current job: Founder, chairman, CEO of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.
Date of birth: 10 July 1931
Birthplace: Ningbo, China
Family: Wife, Sophie; one daughter fromfirst marriage; two stepdaughters
First job: Typing papers in college
Most recent books read: Fall of Giants by Ken Follett; Decision Points by George W. Bush
Favorite music: Classical through Gustav Mahler
Computer used most often: BlackBerry
Favorite restaurant: The Four Seasons, New York City
Favorite movies: The Third Man, Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve
Even in the very anomalous category of tech entrepreneurs who've become pop stars, Morris Chang is an anomaly. He's 79 years old, and unlike Steve Jobs, who makes stylish consumer gear, or Mark Zuckerberg, who runs the world's largest social network and is the subject of a major motion picture, Morris Chang runs a semiconductor foundry. It's a big one, to be sure: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), in Hsinchu, is by far the world's largest foundry company, with annual revenues last year of about US $13.3 billion. And yet, the foundry business isn't what most people would regard as the glamour sector of the semiconductor industry—a foundry is basically a fab-for-hire. Companies create their own designs and pay the foundry to manufacture the chips.
Chang is credited with pioneering the foundry concept, in 1987, when he founded TSMC with backing from the Taiwanese government and Netherlands-based Philips Electronics. For that achievement, Chang will receive the 2011 IEEE Medal of Honor.
Like many radical ideas, the foundry concept did not seem so brilliant at first. But the business took off, with TSMC dominating it in a way that few companies have ever dominated any industry. Today TSMC's revenues account for almost half those of the entire foundry industry. And its operating profits—about $5.3 billion last year—were an astounding 90 percent of the whole global foundry industry's.
As TSMC's revenues soared, so too did Morris Chang's stature in Taiwan, where he is a national hero unlike any other. His smiling face appears on billboards endorsing consumer gadgets, real estate, and other goods. Even in his own company, work stops and people stare when he walks down a hall.
Checking out of my hotel in Hsinchu, I decide to test Chang's fame. "Is this your first visit to Taiwan?" the desk clerk asks politely. She looks to be about 25 years old. "Yes," I say. "I was here to meet with Morris Chang." Her voice jumps nearly an octave. "Oh, really? How exciting!" she yelps. "That must have been so, so…." Her English fails her. I feel sorry that I hadn't mentioned it sooner; I could have gotten his autograph for her and really made her day.
Necessity is the mother of invention, as the old saying goes. Chang wasn't trying to reinvent the semiconductor industry when he started TSMC. He did it because government officials in Taiwan wanted him to start a semiconductor business, and with Taiwan weak in both design and marketing, he didn't see any other way.
Chang had no idea that he was launching a technological revolution, the likes of which the semiconductor industry had not seen since, arguably, the rollout of user-programmable logic devices during the previous decade. Suddenly, entrepreneurs could create semiconductor businesses around chips without the huge expenditure of cash and effort it takes to open a semiconductor fabrication facility; all they had to do was design a chip and then market it. Thus was born the "fabless" semiconductor industry, which racked up $73.6 billion in revenues last year. A surprising number of today's hottest high-tech companies got their start in TSMC's factories—telecommunications pioneers Broadcom and Qualcomm, graphics powerhouses Nvidia and ATI, mobile device innovator Marvell, programmable logic creator Altera—and their products continue to roll off TSMC's manufacturing lines today.
"Morris Chang completely changed the landscape of the semiconductor industry," says James Plummer, dean of the school of engineering at Stanford. "He enabled start-ups to start with a few million dollars rather than a few hundred million. That makes a huge difference."

Regardless of my situation, the Click It or Ticket law helps save lives, and I fully support it. If you're involved in public safety or support it as well, you should also support the Zero Fatalities Safety Summit.
They're currently looking for sponsors and prizes from businesses for the event's raffle.
The Summit is the premier event for Utah's safety officials and advocates. Local law enforcement personnel, city and county government officials, educators and counselors will share experiences, opportunities and progress in ensuring public safety through programs, organizations like Zero Fatalities, Click It or Ticket and Pedestrian Safety.

It is OK, but I prefer Elixir des Merveilles.
Thread: Hermes Eau des Merveilles
I really like this fragrance and I would like to wear it myself. The fragrance itself is marketed as female and I think smells unisex more to the masculine side. I wonder if any of you guys wear it and how do you like it.
The only easy day was yesterday
It is OK, but I prefer Elixir des Merveilles.
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
I wear the EdP (elixir). Very nice fragrance and I prefer it to Body Kouros (they are similar).
Yes, it's quite unisex if not more into the masculine gourmandy terrain.
they did not have the perfume version only Eau and I liked it a lot, now I must be a hold of a sample of Elixir (EDP). Very nice bottle design as well.
The only easy day was yesterday
Eau des merveilles is one of my favorite scents for summer days, the smell is bright, clean, slightly woody and easy to wear. I like to wear Elixir des Merveilles at Winter, because to me it's more intense than the eau version and the smoky, woody, spicy base can hold itself well in winter days. I have Body Kouros too, but i don't see any relation between the two.
The Parfum version has a incensy-liqueur side that i don't see neither in the eau nor in the elixir version. The strange is that the parfum version doesn't stay too long on me.
i bought elixer for an ex girlfriend and loved it on her...it smells fantastic, but i dont think that could pull it off at all...funny though, she didnt like it and acted very ungrateful, that is until everyone in her college classes started telling her how wonderful she smelled, boooyaaaa!!! haha, i have not tried the Eau, though I believe Mike Perez is a fan of it, right Mike?
Current Top 5:
Tabac, Cardinal, Brookes Brothers, Musc Kublai Khan, Andron
All 3 are wonderful. If you enjoy the Eau you will most likely enjoy the other two (now three). The Elixir is an edible semi-sweet version of the dry Eau. While the Eau can smell overly peppery at times, the parfum perfectly balances the ambergris-infused candied orange with 'dark' balsamic wood notes.
Own and love the first three. None of them are distinctly feminine or masculine, but androgynous. If you enjoy Eau des Merveilles, I see no reason not to wear it.
Well, actually, anyone reading this should be careful. Hermes Merveilles = castration in a bottle.
I own and have only smelt the Eau. I think it is a good unisex scent, as NEoTY26 has described. I really love the peppery orange as well as the ambergris accord. It blooms nicely with ambient or body heat.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Don't like it at all.
I have owned all three, Eau des Merveilles, Elixir des Merveilles (edp) and Parfum des Merveilles...oh and at one time I used to have a bottle of Eau des Merveilles shower gel (fantastic stuff!). All I have left is a tiny bit of the Parfum in my wardrobe...I've been wanting to replenish and get a bottle of the regular EdM (you can get is SO CHEAP online!) but I've been tempted by the 4th one...Eau Claire des Merveilles.
I can understand why some men think it smells feminine - lot's of women wear this one! I smell it on many women, here in Miami - thus the olfactory connection might link some guys to automatically thinking 'woman' when they smell it. Nonetheless, I don't care the least about this, and I wear it comfortably.
This is one scent you do not need to apply a lot, to get tons of sillage and longevity. Plus, it smells so good on sweaty skin, or when body heat rises. Perhaps my favorite ambergris prominent fragrance in my entire wardrobe.
I really like the Eau on my g/f, although she finds it slightly masculine (but does enjoy wearing it). I find it a bit too feminine for comfort. It's not the notes that smell feminine, per se, but the texture of them. It is so velvety smooth in a feminine way. That's also the one thing that reduces my interest in it - the texture is too monotone and I find myself growing bored with its development half way through the day.

"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."
-- Martin Buber
I have Elixir Des Merveilles and I definitely think it is Unisex. The only thing "fem" about it is the bottle, which isn't really even that much so. Enjoy it!
I'm not your toy.
If there`s someone interested, there`s a seller on ebay selling the 30ml tester of the parfum des merveilles, which is the pure parfum version of the eau des merveilles, with more boozy and resinous aroma.
infinitive's post included a picture of a bottle of Eau des Merveilles as Eau de Parfum, but everyone who talked about the eau de parfum refers to it as Elixir des Merveilles. I am wondering if the Eau de Merveilles EdP bottle (the bottle is fully coloured orange, just like Elixir des Merveilles) is not a proper release, or was Elixir des Merveilles originally released as Eau des Merveilles EdP?
Eau des Merveilles is great for summer. Unisex all the way.
Decent Fragrance

Bring your imagination to the grocery store on a Sunday afternoon as it is a prerequisite if you want to make a decent meal from the residue of the weekend selection. The remnants of a romaine lettuce picked over and fondled by a mob, the surviving members of a bunch of grapes, ten containers of sage, the only fresh herb available, may not motivate one to create.
Yet a nearly hopeless situation can be a burgeoning opportunity for those with ingenuity and above all, persistence. You don't have to be an executive chef but it sure helps. Chef Jason Duffy from Arc The. Hotel prepares an amusing dish from random ingredients proving that a Sunday night supper does not have to be uninspiring.
I am diligently scraping the last velvety silk cream from my ramekin with the rounded curve of my spoon, trying in vain to capture a fleeting sense of bliss. It is the depth of textures, the crispness of buttery seeds, the toothsome crunch of burnt raw sugar and the underlying smooth custard that delights my tactical sense. Arc The.Hotel's Executive Chef Jason Duffy is serving up an autumn treat and has shared his recipe for all of us to enjoy.
Spiced Acorn Squash Creme Brulee with Butter Toasted Seeds
For the brulée:
500 ml 35% cream
6 egg yolks
50 g sugar
Sugar to sprinkle (we used raw sugar)
Purée from half of an acorn squash
Salt and pepper
Whisk yolks, sugar and purée. Add cream, salt and pepper. Cook in ramequins in
a bain marie at 375F for approx. 40 minutes. Let cool. Refrigerate for at least an hour. When ready to sever sprinkle top with sugar and either broil in the oven or use a kitchen torch until sugar becomes dark golden to dark brown in colour. Top with butter toasted seeds.
For the Squash purée:
Half the acorn squash and remove the seeds. Cover with melted butter, brown
sugar, salt, pepper, ground cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon. Bake in the oven, skin
side up at 400F for approx. 45 minutes or until tender. Remove the skin and purée
in a blender.
Butter toasted seeds:
Seeds from acorn squash
a pat of butter
salt to taste
Remove seeds from squash, clean and pat dry with paper towel. Place seeds on a baking sheet and cook in a preheated 425F oven for approx. 10 minutes. Remove and put aside, In a saucepan over medium-high heat, met butter and cook until brown. Add seeds and sauté. Sprinkle with salt.
A little piece of Quebec has crossed a bridge and landed his pots and pans in the nation's capital. Jason Duffy is the executive chef of the trendsetting Arc the.Hotel in Ottawa, Canada. Jason became chef at only 21 in Montreal after graduating from the famed ITHQ. An apprenticeship in France and a career in restaurants in Quebec's metropolis contributed to who Jason is today. However, it was his natural ability to turn food into art that brought him success where ever he went. One Whole Clove has the exclusive on this talent and will be featuring his passion on posts to come.
The sirens from the trucks cut through the dimday but no one would have presupposed their destination. Families continued to stir their supper pots and cut their fresh baked bakery baguette with quiet innocence. In the usual Monday afternoon doldrums, a few citizens of town may have strolled along Principale and come to the realization, it was La Vieille Alliance that was in flames...again!
My phone started to ring at quarter to six at which point I had yet to be au courant with the ill-fated news. In my after work languor, I collected my failing energy to answer the call.
"La Vieille Alliance is in flames...again."
I felt my heart slump. The news was implausible. There was only so much adversity one could face in a lifetime, I thought to myself. In the spring of 2005, the bakery encountered misfortune as one of several shops who fell victim to arson. With resolution and patronage, the owners set up their storefront in an old heritage building known to locals as Danny's Bar-B-Q, during the late fall of 2005.
And now this...
[La Vieille Alliance, side view]
I wrote a review of their second endeavor back in January 2006. It wasn't until April 20, 2007, ten days before the ruin of flames and water damage, I received an e-mail from owners Frances and Bruno who had come across my piece. In my detection of her accent alone, I, a former languages major and college drop-out decided Frances was Irish. To my pleasure she corrected my delusion and provided me with a bit of background information.
"...I'm only half-Irish and really consider myself Scottish...La Vieille Alliance is the name of an agreement between France and Scotland that dates from the 'year of our Lord 1295' and we chose the name to represent our origins..."
On the night of April 30, I sat at my computer unable to work. My head felt heavy from the days events. I resolved to write to our local paper and advance an excerpt to Frances and Bruno.
"The Auld Alliance is a story of reoccurring defeat as much as it holds onto a history of perseverance. Like the Scottish and French before them, La Vieille Alliance, the bakery, as it is so named, took one romantic notion merging two separate entities to withstand adversity. In the cusp of a quaint-town, their sweet determination, detectable in their Chantilly chouxs and lemon tartelettes left patrons enchanted. If there is some semblance to the small town of which I speak, I implore us all to do what we can in restoring faith in the hearts that have lost once again on this night."
I never took chances. I was a person who let life pass me by for way too many years. Now I am older and maybe wiser. While there is a certain comfort in watching the world progress in routine silence, pursuing risks can be much more gratifying. I am reassured of this more than ever when I hear back from Frances the day after the fire,
"…We will start again and you will have another chance to sample our wonderful cakes, bread, cheeses etc…We just need to get everything out, get it cleaned and find a new place. Hoping to meet you properly there."

Hooray for Modern American Parenting Portrayals.
By Meredith O'Brien
I adored Malcolm in the Middle, the show about a wacky married couple with four boys (two juvenile delinquents, one genius and one innocent object of his brothers' harassment). The mom, Lois, a clerk at a big box store, frequently screamed at the kids and threatened them into behaving, one time making them lie on the floor with their heads sticking under the sofa where various moldy food remnants and other nasty things thrived until they 'fessed up to a wrongdoing. The father, Hal, was a bumbling idiot with a big heart and momentary flashes of brilliance. The family was messy – literally and figuratively – and represented blue collar families that were once only seen on a show like Roseanne. Now that Malcolm has been off the air for a while – three years to be exact – I've been in the market for a new Malcolm-like comedy, a smart satire dramatizing family life with a hint of a sharp edge.
My search is now over, thanks to two new half-hour sitcoms on ABC on Wednesday nights: Modern Family and The Middle. If you want shows that make you feel good about how you parent, these two are for you as they showcase slightly off-kilter parents just trying to make it through their days with all the kids alive, housed, clothed, relatively educated and fed some manner of edible substance.
Modern Family has received heaps of critical buzz, and for good reason. After watching the first half dozen episodes, I'm hooked. Modern Family is like a big wheel whose center is one family and the spokes represent all its various off-shoots. Jay Pritchett -- the divorced father of two grown children, Mitchell Pritchett and Claire Dunphy – is at the center. Jay recently got married for a second time, to a woman named Gloria who's the same age as Jay's adult children. Gloria has a 10-year-old son Manny (a great young actor) from her first marriage. That makes Jay a stepfather to a child who's as old as his grandchildren.

What are our *known* issues going to be? 1.) High surf! Already today, rip current statement are in effect, and local beaches are going to red and double red flags as a result. 2.) Tropical showers! They will be non-severe and will blow through quickly, but have the potential to drop some locally heavy rain. 3.) Steady wind! Likely NOT to tropical storm force, but still fairly gusty, especially along the immediate coastline.
What are the *unknown* issues heading into the weekend? 1.) Strength of this developing Gulf low. Some models range in strength from a weak tropical depression to a moderate hurricane. 2.) Path of this developing Gulf low. Models again range from the upper coast of Texas to as far east as Pensacola. 3.) How much rain will the northern Gulf receive? It is pretty apparent that Louisiana will be hit hard, with as much as 15″ over the weekend. Surrounding states could see as little as 1″ or as much as 5″.
Make sure you tune in to each of our newscasts over the coming days for the very latest on this tropical nuisance.

Upon discovering Droste pastilles for the first time and really liking them, I obviously began to seek out the other varieties they had to offer. I think after trying as many as I could get my hands on, the bittersweet pastilles have stood out as my favorite. The white chocolate ones would come in second.
If I had to decide on what type of chocolate is my favorite, I'd have to say bittersweet. It's a nice middle ground that isn't clearly defined by the chocolate community, so it's really up to the manufacturer to decode what makes their specific chocolate bittersweet (or semisweet as some like to call it). It is usually a chocolate that may or may not contain milk solids and the cocoa percentage ranges from 50% to 70%. This specific Droste variety has milk solids and doesn't exactly list the percentage on the wrapper, which has become sort of a standard thing nowadays.
I really love the packaging on these. The cardboard tube contains a heavy duty plastic packet that holds the roll of the rounded chocolate discs. It's easy to open it up, take a few, and twist it back up to save the rest for later. I like having that ability to store part of the chocolate away safely, which I think is a design flaw for the big bars of chocolate.
The pastilles are a beautiful deep brown with a bright sheen to them. They were a delight to photograph.
They chocolate tastes very coconutty to me right away. I could smell it in the aroma, and in the mouth it's an overwhelming characteristic of the chocolate. One the coconut eases off, you notices the very deep roasted notes of cocoa, coffee and caramel; delivering an intense chocolately hit. It reminds me of a first sip of a really good hot chocolate. It also really reminds me of eating a handful of bittersweet chocolate chips, minus the volume in the mouth (but who wants to admit to actually doing that?).
The mouth feel is very smooth and rich, and it feels wonderful on the palate. It's thick and buttery, without overdoing it.
Out of all the Droste flavors and varieties. I return to this one the most. I think that speaks for itself.

"For our women's team, this was another step in the process that began at fall camp in Sunriver and carried through the Pac-12 Championships and the Regional meet," said head coach Robert Johnson. "To meet our goal of being able to advance with that automatic spot is outstanding.
"As a result of all the hard work put in by our women and coach Maurica Powell, we are in a good position headed to the NCAA Championships and we'll get home, go gear up and get ready for that."
Meanwhile, Trevor Dunbar led the men with his third-place individual finish. Dunbar is guaranteed a spot in the NCAA Championships at least as an individual; the Duck men, who were fourth on Friday, will find out Saturday morning at 9 a.m. if they receive one of the 13 at-large team bids.
Hasay broke away from Cal Poly's Laura Hollander and Stanford's Kathy Kroeger with 600 meters remaining to earn her first victory of 2012. The senior from Arroyo Grande, Calif., won in 19:16. Hollander was next in 19:22 with Kroeger, the Pac-12 champion, third in 19:27 over the 6,000 meter course.
Hasay became the first Duck to win three straight regional crowns, but that was only half the story for the women. She was one of three Oregon runners to finish in the top 10, and one of six in the top 26 as the Ducks held off challenges from No. 4 Arizona, No. 5 Stanford and No. 7 Washington.
"Jordan ran an excellent race as usual, and winning three straight Regional titles speaks volumes about her career at Oregon, but what really impressed me is having only one minute between our first runner and our sixth runner," said Johnson. "That is pack running and working as a team to near perfection."
The Ducks won with 64 points. The Cardinal and Wildcats tied for second with 85 points, while the Huskies took fifth with 96 points. No. 26 San Francisco made a strong bid for an at-large selection for the NCAA Championships by finishing fifth with 151 points.
UC Davis was sixth with 177, followed by No. 29 UCLA (217), Portland (230), California (305) and Boise State with 308 to round out the top 10.
Freshman Allie Woodward backed Hasay's win with a seventh-place finish in 19:52. That was followed by senior Alexi Pappas' 10th-place showing in 19:54. Oregon's next group also ran well together with senior Sarah Penney 22nd in 20:13, freshman Annie Leblanc 24th in 20:15 and senior Katie Conlon 26th in 20:17. Oregon also saw freshman Abbey Leonardi 34th in 20:36.
The Ducks led from the outset of the race. After 2,000 meters, the Ducks were 17 points up on Washington and 34 ahead of Arizona. At the midway point, Oregon opened up a 23-point margin on Washington and led Arizona by 25. Stanford made a big move with 1,000 meters remaining to pull ahead of Arizona and Washington, but Oregon maintained a comfortable 24-point edge on the Cardinal and a 25-point lead over the Wildcats. The margin never slipped below 20 over the final 1,000 meters.
It was the women's 13th NCAA West Regional victory, which now only trails Stanford by one, but was the Ducks' first in 17 years.
In the men's race, No. 3 Stanford was strong throughout and won easily with 45 points. The team battle behind the Cardinal ebbed and flowed over the course of the 10,000 meter race. Oregon was second after 2,000 meters and then third, behind Stanford and No. 25 Arizona State, at 4,000 and 6,000 meters.
The 11th-ranked Ducks were then able to pass ASU over the next 2,000 meters, but at the same time, No. 9 Portland made its move to forge ahead of Oregon into second. No. 27 UCLA then overtook the Ducks on the final lap as Oregon wound up fourth.
The Pilots finished with 107 points, followed by UCLA with 128 and the Ducks with 135. Washington was fifth with 165 points, followed by ASU with 218.
Dunbar, a senior from Kodiak, Alaska, was impressive in his third-place finish. He chased Arizona's outstanding duo of Lawi Lalang and Stephen Sambu the entire race before Lalang pulled away to win in 29:02. Sambu was second in 29:38, with Dunbar crossing the finish line next in 29:43, just a second faster than Stanford's Joe Roda (29:44). In the unlikely event that the Ducks are not awarded an at-large bid on Saturday, Dunbar is assured a trip to the NCAA Championships by virtue of being one of the top four individuals at the Regional meet.
The Ducks also received a strong performance from junior Parker Stinson. The Austin, Texas, native was seventh in 29:53, and has positioned himself for strong at-large consideration for the NCAA Championships.
Oregon also had sophomore Jeramy Elkaim 32nd in 30:25, with Matthew Melancon, a freshman from Eugene, Ore., right with in 33rd, also timing 30:25. Sophomore Ryan Pickering's 60th place finish in 30:42 was the Ducks' final scorer.
"We had our 5-6 guys struggle a little today and we're disappointed that we didn't quite get that automatic bid," Johnson said. "But on the other hand, we found some young guys who were able to step up for us today like Jeramy Elkaim and Matthew Melancon.
"Our overall body of work is pretty strong this season and if we are fortunate enough to get an at-large bid, I think we could surprise some people if we can get those 3-4-5-6 guys all clicking on the same day."

The 3rd Annual Holiday Challenge is About to Begin!
The holiday season is just around the corner which means the kick-off to the 3rd annual Holiday Challenge is about to begin! The holidays can be a joyous time when we celebrate with our family and friends. However, with unhealthy foods everywhere, I take bad nutrition seriously because people die from it. I am sick of seeing people injured and dead, especially when they learned about the power of superior nutrition and did not take advantage of it.
Food addiction is powerful for sure, but think about if that junk food (white flour, white rice and white sugar are dangerous junk) is worth a cancer diagnosis or open heart surgery. When junk food is eaten, including the traditional, disease-promoting foods served at the holidays, you may get momentary pleasure as it passes the lips, but the results continue on to compromise your health now, and many years in the future. For some reason people do not realize that they aren't granted a new body after they harm the one they have. We pay a price, usually later in life for our dietary indiscretions. As we get older, the more years one remains overweight and the more times you indulge in cancer-causing foods, the more difficult it becomes to assure protection against a tragic life-threatening cancer when you finally do decide to eat healthfully. Now is the time to throw your cigarettes away, not next year. Now is the time to get off your soft drinks and sugar addiction, not after the holidays.
Since everyone can use great recipes (and I supply many of them) to make delicious desserts and main dishes, I do not see the reason to eat white flour and sugar-filled garbage that creates cancer. Just because the world has gone crazy, and has become addicted to dangerous refined foods and factory farmed junk-food chicken and meats (factory-farmed meats are junk-food too) doesn't mean you should join the self-destructive insanity.
Remember how eating unhealthful and overeating while celebrating the holidays left you feeling ill and regretful in the past? (And it wasn't likely that pleasurable either.) I doubt pigging out on junk is that pleasurable compared to cocaine or heroin. Not that I would know that, but I do know that food addiction kills a thousand times more people each year than cocaine addiction. Plus, not having good health magnifies every emotional problem plaguing your life and is a contributory cause of depression. Now is the time to change things. Make the effort, set the example and do not let the holidays derail your commitment. Giving up addictive and harmful habits is tough, but you have to be tough on yourself to succeed. Accept no excuses. It will be well worth it. Do it now. Make the commitment.
Don't know where to start? Try these simple guidelines taken from my book Eat to Live:
Eat at least one large salad each day.
Enjoy generous amounts of cooked green vegetables with mushrooms and onions.
Satisfy your sweet tooth with at least three fresh fruits each day.
Eat at least one-half cup of beans each day.
Remember the acronym G-BOMBS. Greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, and seeds. These are the most health-promoting foods.
Avoid completely these disease-promoting foods: white flour, sugars, artificial sweeteners, oils, and factory farmed animal products. Unhealthy food is designed to be addictive – keep it out of your home.
Retrain your taste buds to prefer healthy foods. Staying away from sugar and salt is the secret to a heightened sense of taste and enjoyment of natural flavors.
Here are some tips for staying on track:
- Always keep your kitchen stocked with fresh and frozen produce.
- Budget time: plan out when you will shop for groceries, cook, exercise, relax, and spend time with friends and family.
- Plan your meals ahead of time and make a detailed grocery list before you go shopping.
- Cook vegetable bean soups in large batches, and store leftovers in the refrigerator so you can quickly heat some up for lunch or dinner later in the week.
- Stay focused on your health – eating right is self-care. Do not allow the unhealthy influences around you to derail you from your health goals.
- My 90 percent rule does not mean that you can eat 10 percent of anything. It means the 10 percent of animal products or flour products or sweet desserts can still be made from whole grains, natural fruit and dried fruit sweeteners, and more naturally raised and cleaner animal products. In other words, I see no reason for people to continue to consume the worst foods on the planet. Junk food kills and just perpetuates food addictions.
Fast forward to next holiday season: you will make the best choices; the ones that will allow you to achieve overall health and quality of life. You'll be celebrating your health instead of simply indulging in the "traditional" destructive foods. As you eat for optimal health and vitality, you'll be able to more fully enjoy the special times with family and friends. You will flourish and it will be the most enjoyable holiday season you've ever had. There will be no need to "start over" next January 1st. You will already be committed to your health, and feel pleased with yourself for maintaining your healthy habits over the holidays. So are you going to take my holiday challenge?
The official kick-off begins on Monday, November 19th. Click here to read the official rules and to make my Holiday Challenge Promise.

States employ 19 million workers - 15 percent of the nation's workforce and six times as many workers as the federal government employs, according to the State Budget Crisis Task Force.
Salaries and benefits for those employees account for around 30 percent of the state general fund in most states. Benefits alone accounting for more than a third of that cost, meaning that about 10 percent of state general fund expenditures now go to benefits for currently employed workers, many of whom are represented by unions. The cost is growing at a rate that cannot be sustained. To have any hope of achieving fiscal health in the future, states will need to redesign their benefit systems and evaluate state employee salaries.

|Sanz, Lozano are first-team
DENVER – Idaho women's tennis players Victoria Lozano and Almudena Sanz teamed up to earn first-team all-Western Athletic Conference honors at the No. 1 doubles position, the league announced at its annual awards banquet on Thursday night.
Lozano and Sanz, the last two WAC Players of the Week, teamed up to go 13-4 at the No. 1 doubles position together, with a 7-0 record in WAC play. With a win in Thursday's WAC quarterfinals, the pairing enters Friday's WAC semis with a 14-4 record and a 12-match win streak.
Sanz earned her first WAC Player of the Week honor of 2013 earlier this week, while Lozano earned the same honor for the first time this season on April 15. Lozano was a first-team all-WAC pick in singles and doubles as a sophomore in 2012, and a second-team all-WAC pick and singles and doubles after her freshman campaign in 2011. Sanz was a first-team all-WAC honoree in doubles last season, and a second-team all-WAC player in singles.
The fifth-seeded Vandals will take on top-seeded Denver at 1 p.m. (PT) on Friday in the WAC semifinals.

We have a brand new layout! It's been over two years since we had our last facelift. Browsing the site should be a much more pleasant experience. All the major sections are laid out at the top of the page, giving you quick access to the pages you care most about. For instance, to get to Pikachu's Pokedex entry from here, just click "Pokedex" at the top of the page, type "pikachu" (or just "25" if you know Pikachu's number, because you're awesome) into the search box, and click "Find Pokemon" (or just hit the return button because you're cool). Additionally, I spent quite a bit of time optimizing page load times, so jumping from page to page should feel zippier.
Oh, there is one more thing: From today on, we'll be officially known as PokeDream, instead of Pokemon Dream as before. It's one syllable shorter, and therefore faster to type and pronounce, matches exactly with our domain name, and is a name most visitors call us by anyway.
Hope you guys enjoy the changes. Change is good.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Repeat after me: Poo-teen. Pooteen. Properly spelled P-O-U-T-I-N-E and, surprisingly, legal in this country.
They don't let raw milk or cheese in, and "spice" is about to go the way of weed, but this outrageously decadent Canadian import is oozing under the radar and on to American menus.
So much so, that when I heard the wind howl this morning, I thought to myself, "Sounds like poutine weather."
I'm not actually going to indulge since I think poutine is a slippery slopeceat it more than once a week and you're probably headed for a lifetime in elastic waist pants, and I had my poutine portion for the week. (I have a date with a duck, anyway. Chef Nathan Powers at Bambara is going to show us how a duck in his cooking class today.)
The rest of you: I recommend a movie followed by poutine at Copper Onion (if Chef Ryan made it today). Be careful not to eat the poutine before the movie, or you'll be dozing off and on and not be able to follow the complicated, possibly subtitled plot of whatever highbrow movie (really, I should say "film") is showing next door to Copper Onion at the Broadway Cinema.
What is poutine? In its lowest incarnation it's a Canadian lumberjack-sized mound of french fries, topped with beef gravy and cheese curds. Really. Chef Lowder makes his version with hand-cut steak fries topped with oxtail stew and cheese. Better.
Bet you can't finish just one...

Volleyball Gets Back On Winning Track, Rallies Past Columbia 3-1
Freshman Cara Mattaliano helped the Princeton women's volleyball end a five-match losing streak and hopefully ignite a November surge for a youthful squad. The freshman outside recorded 19 kills without recording an error and added 16 digs and three service aces in a 3-1 Tiger win.
Princeton dropped the opening set and trailed 22-17 in the second set, but the Tigers began to rally on the serve on junior middle Nicole Kincade. She ran off four straight points, including one on an ace, to get the Tigers back within a point. Columbia held two set balls at 24-22, but Princeton evened the score on a Mattaliano kill and an error.
Sophomore Kendall Peterkin, who finished second on the team with 16 kills, fought off a third set point, and the closed the 27-25 win with another kill. Princeton carried that momentum through the third set and won six of the final seven points in the fourth to claim the match and complete a season sweep of Columbia.
Junior Francie Jenkins added 10 kills with only two errors, while classmate Nicole Kincade added eight kills and three blocks. Freshman Lauren Miller paced the offense with 51 assists, and she guided the Princeton offense to a hitting percentage of at least .300 in each of the final three sets.
Sophomore Sarah Daschbach paced the defense with 14 digs.
Princeton will look for its first Ivy League weekend sweep Saturday at 5 pm when it hosts Cornell. The Big Red, which fell 3-2 at Penn Friday night, defeated Princeton 3-1 in Ithaca earlier this season.

Phosphorescent, Father John Misty, Night Moves, Coliseum, Above this Fire, Lottery League Summer Grand Finale and more will perform at the Museum this July and August
CLEVELAND (May 16, 2013) –This is the summer to rock, and Summer in the City, the Rock Hall's FREE live concert series, returns this season to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Beginning on Wednesday, July 17th some of the country's most buzzed about up and coming artists will perform on the Museum plaza (weather permitting, if necessary it will be moved inside to the Main Stage), and concessions will be available for purchase from the Museum and local food trucks on the plaza, as well. Summer in the City is sponsored by KeyBank and Yuengling.
Each Summer in the City artist or band has been invited to blog on rockhall.com/blog to share their experiences with fans: how they got started, their inspirations, their aspirations for the future and what their thoughts are on performing in Cleveland at the Museum.
Summer in the City 2013 concert schedule:
JULY 17 , 7-10 p.m.
Phosphorescent (opening band TBA)
Nearly three years on from his breakthrough album Here's To Taking It Easy, Phosphorescent returns to the fray with his most stunning record yet: Muchacho. During the last album's 'cycle', one could almost hear jaws hitting the floor witnessing a live band of such infinite verve. Not only did the album draw high praise in the form of Mojo's 'Album of the Month' (#8 End of Year), Sunday Times & The Independent 'Albums of the Week', hit Rough Trade's Top 5 Best of the Year, but the band also supported The National over the course of three sold out nights at Brixton Academy, a show that The Independent gave 5/5 and called "a sublime, joyous gig".
JULY 31 , 7-10 p.m.
Father John Misty with Night Moves
Josh Tillman of Father John Misty has been recording/releasing solo albums since 2003 and recently left Seattle's Fleet Foxes after playing drums from 2008-2011. Phil Ek (who has worked with Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes) heard the rough versions of the album in May 2011 and offered his services to mix. "Phil and I have known each other for a while by virtue of Fleet Foxes, so he was familiar with my music, but we had never discussed working together. I think he immediately recognized the shift in my writing and singing from a producer and friend's standpoint. His excitement is really evident in mixes, I think."
Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, Night Moves is a distinctly original concoction. Their honey-dipped sound seethes with a kind of down-home tenderness the arrangements are colossal in shape. Night Moves' powerful debut Colored Emotions is this Minneapolis group's first album. The songs of Night Moves conjure a spiritual energy only twenty-somethings dislodged by adversity and isolation could produce. An album like Colored Emotions seems intent to turn inward to create a joyous universe within its own boundaries. Certainly, the group's musical abilities are innate without ever being too self-conscious about it. It's as if it came second nature to them and the arrival of the rest of us took them by surprise.
AUGUST 14, 7-10 p.m.
Coliseum with Above this Fire
Formed in late 2003, Coliseum Louisville, KY/Birmingham, AL power trio has toured and recorded with relentless abandon for the better part of a decade. They issued a self-titled debut album on Level Plane in 2004, followed by the Goddamage EP on Auxiliary Records in 2005, before joining the Relapse Records roster in 2007 for the release of their second album, No Salvation. Following the release of No Salvation, the band embarked on countless tours in North America, Europe, Australia and Japan with Converge, High On Fire, MONO, Napalm Death, Baroness, Russian Circles, Torche, Integrity, and many others. In 2009, Coliseum released the "True Quiet / Last Wave" 7" single on Deathwish Inc. before joining the Temporary Residence family in 2010, where they have released their most compelling and resonant music to date.
Above This Fire integrates catchy, melodic, old-school hardcore, with Iron Maiden-esque metal riffs, and offers up punishing breakdowns for a resulting effect of super high-energy sound that is not often found in today's music. With kids lined up a city block deep outside, and hanging from the rafters inside, an Above This Fire show has fans rethinking hardcore music. Bulldozing past scenes and trends, the band strives to put a fresh coat on its approach year after year and now 12 years strong.
AUGUST 28, 7-10 p.m.
Lottery League Summer Grand Finale
Nothing puts the spotlight on a local music scene quite like the Lottery League, and to close this year's Summer in the City Series the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is proud to present four bands from 2013's "The Big Show"! Part game show, part circus, part city-wide art project, the Lottery League takes musicians and artists from a local music scene, randomly drafts them into brand new bands, and then gives them two months to collaborate. Uniquely joining rock, to punk, to soul, to hip-hop, to indie, to polka, to any and all, these players are literally drawn from every corner of the musical spectrum far and wide and all thrown into a hopper together. Come see what Scene Magazine has called "One of the greatest music strokes of genius to hit any music scene ever" and watch the Lottery League wrap up its third season here in Cleveland when Queen of Hell, Douglas Adam's Family, Dinosaur Coffin and Psychic Thrills representing the 2013 Lottery League by taking to the stage in downtown Cleveland and lighting up the city's skyline like never before.
Please visit rockhall.com/events/summer-sessions and follow the Rock Hall on Facebook and Twitter for more information on the Summer in the City bands and concert series.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 14 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MH52 MAGNIFICENT bought 2 curtains and asked my husband to hang them. After he did he asked if he could hang them in our bedroom could we get more? I jumped on it because I didn't think he would like them in the living room much less the bedroom. They are rich expensive looking and pop my living room. I don't care if they aren't the same length . Buy the right length at a high end expensive retailer that is not as creative as World Market and certainly not as well priced! I will hand wash or delicate cycle them in the machine. They are the best curtains I have bought in a long long time ! Thank you World Market for being special. July 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by nwwonder Beautiful Curtains I picked up some of these in the store and like them so much I am ordering more. I have always loved the texture of dupioni and these do not disappoint. Mine are the correct length, and the lining matches the front panel well. The metal grommets are a great color and keep the curtains from being too formal. They are not total blackout curtains but do block the light quite well, and definitely block visuals. I love the way they play with the light. They add a wonderful color pop to the room. They are dry clean only. May 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by fromme beautiful color and texture This is actually the 3rd set of these curtains I have bought. The color is that of a tropical sea and being duponi silk they offer coverage, but still let in a little glow of light. June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DenverDecorator Beautiful Curtains! I love these curtains. The color is vibrant in jewel tones. They hang beautifully and the grommets keep them from looking too formal. The fact that they are lined, makes them seem like much more expensive drapes and helps them hold their shape. I hope I don't have problems matching like some of the other reviews. I plan to put them in my kitchen/family/dining area and THEY NEED to match!! Love World Market so I'd say if you're thinking of these, go for it! They'll add a punch of color and beautiful shimmery texture to your room. Debbie - Denver Home Decorator/Stager February 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by ankazobe Beautiful color Beautiful color and just what I needed to perk up my living room. October 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tilyliger Adds a pop of color to any room Dupioni fabric makes these teal curtains beautiful & rich! If you like turquoise & teal tones you will love these curtains. July 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bittysmom love them I wasn't sure when I saw them online, but I really like the fabric and the color is great. I have them in my home office, which is beige-toned, so the blue really pops and brightens things up. June 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mbizzle Perfect These curtains are gorgeous and liven up any room. I don't agree that they let much light in nor that they are duller than the photo shows. They're bright! March 5, 2013

PR for 2010 World Cup in South Africa / Panini
Communication Consultants got journalists in Germany in the mood for the start of Panini sticker fever for the 2010 Soccer World Cup by presenting them with a press collector's album. Panini Verlags GmbH hired CC in March 2010. The company broke new PR ground from the very first joint project, which involved PR work for the Panini sticker album for the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa. Instead of a press kit, 400 German editorial teams (print, online, blogs, TV, radio) were sent a Panini press collector's album. The 20-page album also included a press CD and press photos in the form of a small collection of stickers. The agency also acted as the external press office for Panini before and during the World Cup, keeping the media informed of the latest sales developments and campaigns. On social networks, CC hosted dialog between collectors of Panini stickers. The response was overwhelming. Virtually all media in Germany let their readers or listeners share in the passion for sticker collecting, an activity that has gained something of a cult following.
Services: Media work (press support, press releases, evaluation), corporate publishing (limited-edition press album with sticker collection featuring press photos)
Target groups: All types of media (print, online incl. blogs, TV, radio)

The Italian coach believes his side have what it takes to reach the quarter-finals if they can be at their strongest against Los Che, and was glad to have avoided Real MadridParis Saint-Germain trainer Carlo Ancelotti says his team can progress from the last 16 of the Champions League if they play their best football against Valencia.
|Galatasaray v FC Schalke
Celtic v Juventus
Arsenal v Bayern Munich
Shakhtar v Borussia Dortmund
AC Milan v Barcelona
Real Madrid v Manchester United
Valencia v Paris Saint-Germain
FC Porto v Malaga
First legs will be played on either February 12/13 or19/20, with the return legs on March 5/6 or 12/13.
"The most dangerous team was Real," the 53-year-old told reporters.
"Valencia have some problems, although they have a good history with the competition. But Valencia seems less dangerous than Real and it is normal. But we have to play the two games.
"The objective is to get to the quarter-finals. I won't say it's a good draw, it's a Champions league draw. We can win if we play our best football," he added.
Valencia qualified second in Group F, level on points with Bayern Munich, whilst PSG beat Porto to the summit of Group A with a 2-1 win over the Portuguese champions in their final match of the group stage.

Quit Dreaming!
8 comments
(1)They WILL NOT bring in a veteran QB to compete with Henne...I AGREE.
(2)I agree they won't trade picks.
(3)JT is NOT a trader, he did what he had to do after the treatment he received by the Phins. He still wanted to play. What should he have done, not played because the Phins didn't want him. Don't be a complete knucklehead. JT is the man and I pray they allow him to play one more year and retire a Dolphin. He deserves that courtesy considering all the years of loyalty and as kicking he gave the Phins Nation.
(1) They will not bring someone in, and if they did, do we really need another poor performing QB on the roster?
(2) Agreed, please, please, please, no more Speilman-like moves.
(3) JT who? Sorry folks, but the moment he signed with the Jets was just to much for me to bear or ever forgive. I'd rather see him retire a Jet rather than a Dolphin...
(4) ...Let the name calling begin. :)
JT was never left out of captains meetings. Joey Porter was.
So Jose, you're telling me that JT should have just not played and retired last year rather than play for the Jets? This is a business my friend and if you can play, you play. I am a diehard Phins fan and I felt betrayed by the Dolphins organization last year more than JT. I hated to see him play for the Jets and was pissed myself last year at first. However, you can't blame him. He wanted to play and went where they wanted him....unfortunately it was the Jets. JT needs to retire a Dolphin to make all his years he played so hard for them count. Loyalty is a rare thing in sports these days and he may have played for the enemy but they sort of forced him in that direction.
Efree73 - Jose may or may not being saying that. But I AM saying that wholeheartedly. JT going to the jets totally taints his legacy and he can be in their ring of honor. I don't want him here. Good riddance.
He had time on his side and didn't need the money. He could have waited it out and come out completely on top.
But whatever. It doesn't matter what I think. And I still say there's no way the fins sign him.
Efree73, I respect what your saying and agree that the game is ultimately a business. However, from the purely "fanboy" point-of-view, how can JT be excused from his decision. I hold no ill will towards him (or anyone), but he decided to sign with another team, a team he knew was the most reviled and hated above all for a Dolphins fan.
Dan Marino, if I recall correctly, toyed with the idea of becoming a Viking. If he had done that it wouldn't have mattered to me. If JT had done that - it wouldn't have mattered. But no, it was the Jets, the stinking Jets.
I respect JT, wish him well, and hope he and his family live happily ever after (really, no sarcasm here) but return as a Dolphin - to retire? No amount of PR spin from the Dolphins organization can fix that. No thanks.
