I'm sure everyone's played both by now. Which one's better?
I'm sure everyone's played both by now. Which one's better?
Their both lame.
okay well a PS3 has absolutely gorgeous graphics and no matter what people say that can make or break a game. However the Wii has far better games such as LOZ:TP which is amazing and Wario Ware which have appealed to all ages.
Frankly the PS3 price tag is a major drawback and if u want sweet visuals with slightly more serious gameplay (not that ninty doesnt do it but its less common and it doent quite reach the levels of the PS games, resi evil 4 being a notable exception to this statement) just go buy a 360. Which is cheap, good to look at and has the maturer gameplay you PS fans generally want.
also Kelsh how was that in anyway helpful to a debate about which is better?
Well, I've never played a PS3, so my side is more on the Wii.
But, look at the facts.
In the PS3 launch, there was only one quality game to buy with the PS3: Resistance, Fall of Man. Then there was a giant pricetag and even bigger ones on Ebay. Plus, there have been reports that PS2 games don't even work on the PS3. Sure, it looks nice, but are graphics when games are boring or don't work? But, I'm sure people will start buying the PS3 when new Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts games come out. But who knows how long that will take?
In the Wii launch however, there was a smooth line of buyers and a better selection of good games to buy such as Legend of Zelda. And, you can still play GC games on it. If not one for graphics, the Wii's all about putting the fun back in games. Because that's what games are supposed to be: Fun. Not filled with half hour long cutscenes and boring characters.
The Wii even is low on systems and extra controllars and such right now. People are still wanting to buy one, and with SSBB on the way, that's pretty understandable. I don't know anyone who hasn't had fun playing a SSB game. Nintendo is really rasing their game and fan base.
I just don't think either of them is waste of my dad's money. Fuck, I spent most of my parents money on the DS which isn't that great. Then again, I'm not much of a gamer.also Kelsh how was that in anyway helpful to a debate about which is better?
PS3 is tanking due to Sony's arrogance. It has few games for it and I don't expect many more due to it's lack of sales. The Wii is much better if you like mini games as that seems to be what 90% of it's stuff is. 360 is currently the leader with it's good graphics, decent price, and large game selection.

Here I am with my empire
Ill bring you to your knees
Ebb and flow with my desire
Cause its all that youve been taught to be
X Box is terrible.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Xbox is horrible, I much rather have a wii... which i have. and besides i have always been a nintendo fan
I want a Nintendo 64. I broke mine a year ago. No more pokemon stadium for me.
A year down the line i'll make a judgement. Too soon to tell.
I've never liked Sony, except for Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PS1, and that was only when I didn't have an N64 to play.
Microsoft is certainly in the lead with all the Xbox has to offer, with nice graphics and interesting games.
However, I've always considered Nintendo the top dog of all things video game. While they aren't graphics gurus or anything like that, their systems are comparitively inexpensive, still lots of fun, and tend to be more unique as well (i.e., Pokemon, Mario, etc. Very original, good, entertaining ideas ^^). Also, the Wii's controllers are most excellent. I've been waiting for years for a game system for which you need to get off your ass for. I love how interactive the remote-nunchuk (spelling?) combination is.
But anyway that's really just my opinion. ^^
[SIZE="1"]Pairs: The Blind Eye of Deception [DSX] | The Ninjassassin [Sasuke] | The Hadouken! [The Azn Party Boy]
but if u want and indepth experience ninty can b a bit too quirky and with a sort of pick-up-and-play mentality which maybe die-hard gamers aren't into. As far as I know all my mates who r on the quikier side of life have Wiis and those who r hardened gamers and want a more realistic epic have 360s
as a happy medium i'm going to aquire a 360 and have both XD
i do have one friend with a PS3 but shes loaded i mean frankly ud have to b pretty rich to afford a PS3 which is probably its downfall cause the Wii also had a pretty lame starting selection there was LOZ, Wario Ware and uh a pile of crap.
There's no real debate in a topic like this since it's impossible to verify objectively which machine is the 'best'. I've yet to actually see a ZZ vs YY console forum topic which didn't deteriorate into a fanboy's shitstorm resulting in bans and suspensions.
It's her opinion that both are lame and neither are the best. You gave your opinion, she gave hers.also Kelsh how was that in anyway helpful to a debate about which is better?
The Pikatwo Diaries ...
Ultimate Destiny: Ninetales 009 Adventures - an original and exciting Pokemon fan fiction, updated whenever-
Not to mention, that the 360 was out a year before the other two, so people had more time to buy one. If they came out at the same time, I'm pretty sure the wii would've been the top-seller. Because Nintendo's sales are catching up pretty fast to Microsoft's.
Sony is just dying. The PSP hasn't been sucessful unlike the DS and the PS3 has about two games right now that make up for the price.
nintendos sales are owning all others 40 mil DSs and 5.84 mil Wiis
and the point remains what if you don't like zelda and wanted the more long-haul game would you buy a Wii? no you wuldnt and the point is most ppl who have a Wii or 360 want the other one as well for the other's merits
but as you say the PS isn't doing so well and please enlighten me as to what games could possibly make-up for the price?
and i did not mean zelda was a pick-up-and-play game sorry if it looked like that my bad
lol yeah me too id jus wait for metroid, its getting hard for me to proove my point cos im a ninty fan-girl but im trying to b as unbiased as i can
but i guess the conclusive answer is the wii has gd (and soon will have evn better games) while the PS3 has hardly any and is too expensive
any argument with that?
asking whch is better a ps3 or a wii is like askin would you like to be beatin up or treated like royalty,as most of you have said,sales and popularity r on the wii's side,the ps3 is failing because of sony's arrogance and its refusal to admit they have a problem,
i have been a nintendo fan since the NES was released.frankly they have never let me down.ever.and at this point in gaming they are really the only constant on the gaming world.being around since the mid 80's
personally i think every gamer should have one.even as a companion to the 360.it offers a new way to experience and play games.and that is true next gen in my opinion
i have a wii and i may evenually purchase a 360.but as far as the ps3.sony let me down.i expected alot out of it.and it shows no hopes of recovery
Sony will bounce back once the four games that everyone wants come out, I have planned on buying it becuase of those 4 games ever since I heard of it existence. Those games being kingdom hearts 3, final fantasy 13, final fantasy 13 vs, and final fantasy 7 remake. Those games will change everything.
Greatness Reincarnated
I think that "next-gen" really applies to more than just the consoles style and capabilities. It's also a show that each company is diverging in it's own unique niche in the video game world. Nintendo is filling the fun loving, memorable characters and completely engrossing gameplay spot. Xbox is dominating online play with FPS's, and is cruising as the cheap, graphically strong console. PS3, though it hasn't quite found it's stride, will eventually come out as the luxury car of video games, they will corner the hardcore gamers who can spend years on one game, final fantasy gamers I'm looking at you, haha. So in closing all of the video game systems are best at what they aimed to do, so there can't really be a best system, unless you break it down into certain categories.
There is no comparison. The Wii is crushing the PS3 in sales. People simply don't want to pay such a high cost for a bad gaming system.
When the Devil is too busy
And Death's a bit too much
They call on me by name you see,
For my special touch.
I think sony should have waited to release the PS3. They could've made more games for it, and made it backward compatible. They didn't test long enough. The Wii, though, had been in devolpment since E3 2005.
Guys why must you keep on patronizing the ps3? I admit I haven't played either but I'm equally in favor with both consoles.
Sure the PS3 has drastic price. mmmhm. That's more because of the Blu Ray which therefore enables more space in game discs for graphics and lengthwise ideals. Such as perhaps extended gameplay.
And of course you can't say "lol i don't care much about graphics it's all about the gameplay". To a degree that's true. But what if the game centered around a vivid, lushful atmosphere consisting of an abundance of flora, wouldn't it be expected to have state-of-the-art graphics for such? Admittedly, the eye candy doesn't substitute for a good game, but it's something nice to have.
The Wii shows promising novelties such as an innovative controller, and wonderful choice of games, I have to admit. And it's clearly outselling Sony. Yes. Mario continues to show great promise as well as Twilight Princess clearly bringing wonder.
In my perspective, the line ups for the upcoming games (FFXIII, FF v. XIII, KH3, R&C5, Tekken 6, DMC 4) shows great promise and hopefully will redeem Sony.
All a spectator's view.
Sony won E3 hands down.
Microsoft relied almost solely on Halo 3 and Nintendo didn't have many 'hard-core games' according to most people.

VIDEO: Arizona State post-game press conference
VIDEO: Charlotte post-game press conference
TEMPE, Ariz. - Xorge Carrillo had a career-high five hits and Kramer Champlin threw seven shutout innings to lead the Arizona State University baseball team to a 16-1 victory over Charlotte in the Tempe Regional on Saturday. The Sun Devils are now 41-16 overall, 2-0 in the Regional, and will play the winner of Sunday afternoon's game between Arkansas and Charlotte on Sunday night.
One night after being held to five hits by New Mexico, the Sun Devil bats came alive against the 49ers. They pounded out a season-high 19 hits and had six players record multi-hit games.
Carrillo led the offensive explosion, going 5-for-6 with a home run, three RBI and four runs scored. Andrew Aplin was 3-for-4 with two doubles and a triple, and Johnny Ruettiger, Riccio Torrez, Zach Wilson and Zack MacPhee all had two hits apiece.
Champlin was fantastic on the mound, allowing just one hit over seven innings and setting a career high with nine strikeouts to improve to 9-3 on the season.
The Sun Devils, playing as the designated visiting team, got on the board in the first on an RBI groundout by Joey DeMichele. Torrez would add another RBI groundout in the third to make it 2-0, and then ASU broke it open in the fourth. Carrillo hit a three-run homer off Charlotte reliever Chad Rothlin, and later in the inning, Torrez brought in two runs with a triple over the head of the right fielder.
Deven Marrero's sacrifice fly and Torrez's RBI single in the fifth extended the lead to 9-0. MacPhee had an RBI single and Marrero an RBI groundout in the seventh to make it 11-0, and then in the eighth, Wilson hit a two-run homer and Aplin had a two-run double.
ASU added one more in the ninth, when pinch hitter Daniel Milner singled in Brandon Magee. Charlotte got its only run in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly off reliever Josh Moody.
Charlotte will face Arkansas, who defeated New Mexico 3-0 in the first game on Saturday, in an elimination game on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark. The winner will then face ASU at 6 p.m. on Sunday.

- Complete installation and tuning instructions
- 1979-'80 engines may be equipped with either o-ring or band style heads. Check before ordering.
- Not legal for sale or use on CA or EPA pollution controlled motorcycles.
- Stock motorcycles 1980 or earlier must be updated to a two cable pull open/pull closed throttle control system. A single cable pull open system cannot pull the throttle closed in case the throttle should accidentally stick in the open position. S&S offers high quality throttle cable kits in several lengths for this purpose. A press-on sleeve is also available to increase the diameter of the throttle grip area of 1972 and earlier handle bars to 1", allowing installation of modern throttle assemblies.
- S&S "Shorty" carburetors will not fit Harley-Davidson® ironhead Sportster® models with vertical magnetos due to clearance problems between the magneto and the carburetor.
- Shovelhead engines with five gallon gas tanks and cylinders that are taller than stock require a special notched air cleaner cover to clear the gas tank. Since these taller engines also require a special length manifold, select a carb with a notched air cleaner cover without a manifold and choose a manifold with the correct length..
- S&S does not recommend polishing or chrome plating Super E & G carburetors. Our repair department has seen many carbs with passages plugged with polishing compounds and some carbs that had been destroyed because the polishing or chrome plating had altered critical machined surfaces.
- Recommended for closed circuit use only—S&S Super E & G carbs shown are not approved for use on motor vehicles operated on California public highways, or in other states where similar pollution laws may apply. The user shall determine the suitability of the product for his or her use and shall assume all risk and liability in connection therewith.

My saiga12 and the extra 10 round mags I picked up from Scott last week are GREAT.
No flaws no probs, mixed loads and mixed lengths. I set the gas for mag and even the light bird shot ejected (well dribbled). Got the local guys hooked on it and they are scrambling to buy one.
All the 10 round mags worked without flaws.
Plus Scott had some neat stuff he showed me they are working on.
(you figure out those 3 rifle muzzle brakes yet Scott? Sure would like a pic of that one so I can spin a few for myself))
I can only hope the political situation will not force us all out of this.

Tuesday, January 8, 2013 would have been Elvis Presley's 78th birthday. Presley was among the first ever inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, an honor befitting his standing as the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. Presely rose from humble beginnings to launch a musical revolution, helping guide the trajectory of the rock and roll genre for deacades. But is "That's All Right" where the legend of Elvis began? What's certain is that "That's All Right" was Elvis Presley's first commercially released recording. He had previously made two private recordings, whose four songs give absolutely no hint of what was to come. Neither did two additional songs Presley tried before "That's All Right" during a faithful July 5, 1954, recording session. That Presley was recording at all is a tribute to Sam Phillips. Phillips' Memphis Recording Service was where Presley had cut his private acetate records and where he would sometimes hang out, trying to find an opening in the music business. Phillips contacted Presley after receiving a song demo he thought might suit the shy teenager. It didn't, but Phillips persevered. He called for the July 5 ...
In 1974, Elvis Presley returned to his adopted hometown and the city that gave him his start: Memphis, Tennessee. More than two decades after his first recordings at Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service, Presley performed five sold-out shows, the fifth and last of which was recorded and released as Elvis Recorded Live on Stage in Memphis by RCA. In this video, curatorial director Howard Kramer shares the stories behind some of the artifacts in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Elvis Presley exhibit in Cleveland, Ohio, including the "King of Spades" jumpsuit Presley wore and the handwritten setlist he penned for that memorable performance.
To learn more, visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Tuesday, January 8, 2013 – what would've been Elvis Presley's 78th birthday – when curatorial director Howard Kramer will lead a special "Gallery Talk," sharing stories behind some of the rare Presley artifacts on exhibit at the Museum. Click here for more info!
See the LATEST Elvis Presley exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "Presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music."
As far as his stature as a cultural icon, which continues to grow even in death, writer Lester Bangs said it best: "I can guarantee you one thing - we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis."
Here's 10 essential Elvis Presley songs. Presley built arguably the most impressive catalog of recordings in rock history, so it was understandably difficult narrowing the list down to 10 essential tracks. Let us know what songs would be on your list.
Released in the summer of 1954, "That's All Right" was Presley's first commercial single and a fairly faithful version of "That's All Right, Mama," the uptempo blues number originally recorded by Arthur "Big Boy ...
American Music Masters Moments: Les Paul is the first installment in a series that shares stories from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's American Music Masters® events through the years. Beginning in 1996 with a tribute to Woody Guthrie, the American Music Masters series has honored artists who've been instrumental in the development of rock and roll with a range of events celebrating their careers. Each AMM brings together musicians from around the world, setting the stage for special, once-in-a-lifetime moments. These are those stories.
From their inception in 1996, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's American Music Masters programs have been sensational, but the one that I have the fondest memories of is the 2008 tribute to Les Paul. One of the great highlights of my job is the fact that I was lucky enough to get to know Les. In 2004, I worked with Les to put together and exhibit The New Sound: Les Paul and the Electric Guitar. When the exhibit opened, Les and his trio came to Cleveland and performed on the main stage in the museum's lobby. That exhibit is still up on the second floor of ...

Everyone is seeking innovative solutions, from the CFO of a high-tech startup to a single parent attending night school to finish a degree. More than just solving problems, creativity prompts us to redefine the questions and shift our emphasis.
As a society, it's becoming clearer to us that we need to think differently about our world and our place in it. When organizations fail to adapt to changing conditions, they risk becoming irrelevant and lessen the chances of their survival. Instead of fearing these developments, we can embrace change and use it to catalyze new ideas, solutions, and systems. We can take this opportunity to become more curious, flexible, and to think more comprehensively about our work. With creativity as a mindset, we can turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
At Lesley University, we've made creativity the foundation of everything we do. Join Lesley University President Joe Moore and fellow alumni for lively conversation about creativity and innovation.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Herbs for Health
by Suzanne DeJohn
Fresh herbs are tasty -- and healthful too!
Every day, it seems, there's news that this vegetable or that fruit possesses special health-promoting properties. Recently, herbs have taken center stage: Research has shown that many fresh herbs are even higher in disease-fighting antioxidants than powerhouses like blueberries. The study measured the antioxidant activity of 27 culinary herbs and 12 medicinal herbs. As you might expect, the medicinal herbs showed significant levels of antioxidants*. Surprisingly, however, the culinary herbs had even higher levels. Oregano led the pack, with 3 to 20 times more antioxidant content than the other herbs tested; other good sources include dill, thyme, rosemary, and peppermint.
Research also showed that fresh herbs were better than dried herbs with respect to antioxidant levels. So, if the taste of freshly harvested herbs isn't enough incentive to start an herb garden, adding their health benefits should clinch it!
Grow Your Own
Set aside part of your vegetable garden for perennial herbs, such as oregano, thyme, and sage. Just remember not to rototill that area in the spring. Annual herbs are easier to incorporate into an existing garden; just interplant herbs like basil and dill among the vegetables. Not only will you get a harvest of fresh herbs, you'll also benefit from herbs' propensity for attracting beneficial insects.
Many herbs are beautiful and fit right into an ornamental bed. Combine purple sage with orange cosmos, or use low-growing thyme as a ground cover between perennials. Perennial chives are easy to grow, and they readily self-sow. Their spiky leaves provide a nice contrast with broad-leaved perennials such as coral bells. And emerald green curly parsley looks great with everything. (It must be attractive ? it's the universal garnish!)
One caveat: Mint plants can be invasive; prevent them from taking over garden beds by planting them in containers.
Windowsill Herbs
Many herbs can be grown on a windowsill. Root cuttings of perennial herbs like sage and rosemary to bring indoors for the winter, and pot up small divisions of oregano and marjoram. Most annual herbs are best started from seed, including basil and dill. For best results, provide supplemental light for your indoor garden during the short winter days; a fluorescent fixture set so the light is just a few inches above the tops of the plants is ideal. Make successive plantings of annual herbs for winter-long harvest.
In the Kitchen
Let freshly harvested herbs take the place of artificial flavors and excess salt. Experiment with herbs in soups and stews, sprinkle on steamed vegetables, mix into vegetable purees, and add to homemade bread. Combine herbs with richly hued vegetables like sweet potatoes, winter squash, kale, and spinach for a double punch: deeply pigmented vegetables also tend to be high in antioxidants. Some traditional Thanksgiving foods are high in antioxidants, including cranberries and sweet potatoes. Add some fresh herbs and boost their health-promoting characteristics.

Rainer, who won A-Sun titles in the 60- and 200-meters this past indoor season, sailed to victory in the 100, clocking a season-best time of 10.52 in his first outdoor appearance this spring. The time was just short of the NCAA Regional Qualifying standard of 10.50. The senior came out on top of a field of 77 athletes, proving he was the one to beat early on, as he posted a time of 10.59 in the preliminary heats, the top qualifying mark in the event.
The award is the second of the year for Rainer, who also garnered A-Sun Athlete of the Week honors during indoor season.
Rainer and the rest of the Bucs have a busy week on tap, with portions of the squad competing at the Walker Invitational, this afternoon at Liberty Bell, as well as the

Getting Smart About Chain Saws (page 4 of 4)
by William Bryant Logan
Limbing and Bucking
Cut off the most accessible branches first, then reposition the stump the remove tension from remaining branches.
Felling causes a rush of adrenaline, but once the tree is on the ground, your work has just begun. Approach limbing and bucking soberly--each can produce more than just a headache.
Most kickbacks occur during limbing, the process of removing branches from a felled tree. As you travel along the trunk, often cutting amid a welter of closely spaced branches, take care not to allow the top of the saw's tip to inadvertently contact a branch near the one you are cutting.
Depending on how the tree fell, at least some limbs will be under great tension, either pinned beneath the fallen tree or wedged against neighboring trees. Remove all the nontensioned branches first, then begin on the difficult ones. Never release all the tension at once. (I made this mistake once and had eight stitches in my cheek to show for it.) You can release tension by making several shallow cuts on the tension side, and then gently cutting through from the compression side.
Bucking, cutting the main trunk into logs, requires thinking about how gravity is affecting the log, and how to release tension without binding the saw in the log. A tensioned trunk is best cut by making a shallow undercut, then cutting through from above. The undercut keeps the saw from binding as the piece comes off. Likewise, cut a trunk supported from both sides, such as on a saw horse, by first making a shallow cut above, then following with a through cut from beneath.
But what if the log is lying in the dirt? If you strike dirt, you will dull the chain. The secure method is to cut almost all the way through, then roll the log over and finish the bucking cut from on top.
William Bryant Logan is a a writer and arborist living in New York City.

If you've been reading this blog long enough, you know that I have a thing for Sam Rockwell. (And Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb.)

Keira Knightley, one of the most interesting stars of the year.

Sam & Leslie in London
This post is for me, because I know you don't care. Why don't you care about Sam Rockwell and Leslie Bibb? There's a reason Sam Rockwell works so much. And it's because he's GOOD.

Scarlett & Sam?

These are the first shots of Scarlett Johansson since it was revealed that she and that guy we can all forget about now are over.

Head Women's Soccer Coach Lesle Gallimore
Lesle Gallimore finished her 18th season at Washington in 2011 - the longest tenure of any coach in the Pac-12 - looking to continue the winning tradition she established when she arrived in Seattle in 1994. In the process of registering team victories, she has also overseen the individual development of players.
Two of her former players, Hope Solo and Tina Ellertson (Frimpong), are playing in the Women's Pro Soccer league and were chosen as All-Stars in the inaugural season. As members of the Saint Louis Athletica, Solo was named the league's Goalkeeper of the Year while Ellertson was an All-Star defender. Both have also spent time on the U.S. National team, with Solo currently the starting goalkeeper for the team which won a gold medal at the 2008 Olympic Games and second at the Women's World Cup. She was recently chosen as the U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year. Ellertson was on the U.S. roster for the 2007 Women's World Cup in China, while another of Gallimore's pupils, Clare Rustad, competed in the Olympics for Canada. Another former Husky, Veronica Perez, currently plays with the Mexican National Team where she led Mexico into the 2011 World Cup and to a bronze medal at the 2011 Pan Am Games.
After one of the best seasons in school history in 2010, the 2011 team had high expectations but fell just short of making the NCAA Tournament with a 7-8-5 record. Highlights on the season include ties with ranked Cal and Portland and tough 1-0 losses to UCLA and No. 1 Stanford. UW played its final game of the season on the Fox Soccer Channel, tying rivals Washington State, 0-0.
The 2010 team went 13-9-2 overall and adavanced to the Elite 8 for the second time in school history, upsetting No. 2 overall seed Portland along the way. The Huskies defeated Oklahoma, 4-0, in the First Round before eliminating the Pilots 10-9 on penalty kicks. The Huskies upset UC Irvine on the road, 1-0, in 2OT and fell to Boston College in the Elite 8, 1-0 in OT. The 2009 team went 12-6-4 and advanced to the Second Round of the tournament before falling 2-1 to No. 2 Portland on the road, pushing the Pilots to the final minute despite playing with 10 players the entire second half.
During the season, Gallimore picked up her 200th career win at Oregon, putting her in elite NCAA company as she became the 37th Division I coach to reach the milestone. Gallimore's 2008 team also advanced to the NCAA Second Round, rebounding from a 5-13-1 campaign in 2007 to engineer one of the biggest turnarounds in NCAA history. The Huskies jumped out to a 7-0 start and eventually earned a third-place tie in the difficult Pac-10 conference. The Huskies defeated LSU in their first NCAA game since 2004, winning a thrilling 3-2 overtime battle and finished with a 15-6-1 record, the third-most wins in program history.
In 2004, Gallimore directed UW to its best NCAA performance, a quarterfinal appearance that capped three consecutive shutout victories in the preceding rounds. The Huskies posted a 17-5-1 record en route to the Elite Eight. They placed third in the Pac-10 with a 5-3-1 record. The magical season capped the career of Ellertson, who Gallimore helped mold into UW's all-time goal scorer, the only two-time Pac-10 Player of the Year and an eventual U.S. National Team member.
In 2003, the Huskies registered an 11-7-3 record, finished fifth in the Pac-10 with a 4-4-1 mark and earned an NCAA Tournament invitation. The previous season, on Oct. 13, 2002, Gallimore posted her 100th victory as the Huskies' head coach. UW compiled a 9-8-3 record and placed fifth in Pac-10 play with a 4-4-1 mark. Six setbacks came against ranked teams, including five top-10 foes. The turn of the century saw Gallimore elevate the program to unprecedented heights.
In 2001, Washington was ranked in the national top 20 from the beginning of the season until the end for only the second time in the program's history. Despite the loss of the school's top two all-time scorers, UW posted a 13-5-2 record and tied for second place in the Pac-10 standings with a 6-2-1 mark. The Huskies beat San Diego 2-0 in the first round of the 2001 NCAAs and advanced to the second round for the second straight season. Goalkeeper Hope Solo was voted the Pac-10 Player of the Year and was a finalist for the Hermann Trophy Award.
In 2000, the Huskies posted an all-time best 18-3 record, won their only Pac-10 championship, received the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Sweet 16. It was the first Pac-10 championship for a school outside of California. During that season, Gallimore registered her 100th career coaching victory on Sept. 10, 2000 with a 3-1 win over Ohio State. The 2000 season also saw the Huskies register 22 school records, including surpassing standards for single-season victories (18) and longest winning streak (11).
The season ended with UW's first-ever Sweet 16 appearance. The Huskies, who had never before been seeded or played a postseason game at home, drew the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. They defeated Montana 5-0 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Husky Soccer Field. A 1-0 third-round loss at home to Portland ended the season, but didn't diminish the memories. Attendance at Husky Soccer Field soared to an average of 1,592 spectators per game in 2000, the second-highest figure in the nation. The 1-0 overtime triumph over No. 4 UCLA drew a UW single-game record 3,403 fans. The Huskies also drew lofty rankings. Unranked entering the 2000 season, UW joined the polls in early September, its first ranking since 1996. During the season, the Huskies climbed to as high as No. 2 and finished No. 5 in the Soccer America poll.
Washington garnered NCAA Tournament berths in each of Gallimore's first three years as head coach (1994-1996). The Huskies responded to postseason absences in 1997, 1999 and 2002 with NCAA bids in 1998, 2000 and 2003. Gallimore's philosophy of annually playing a difficult schedule paid off in 1998. A postseason invitation was the reward from the NCAA Tournament committee which recognized a schedule that included four top-10 ranked opponents. Washington capped a 10-9-1 record with a 2-1 overtime loss at USC in the first round of the tournament. The UW placed fourth in the Pac-10 with a 6-3 record. Gallimore's group tied for second place in the conference in 1996 with a 5-2 record and finished 12-8 overall against a schedule featuring eight ranked opponents. The Huskies concluded the 1996 season with a 1-0 loss at Portland in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
In 1995, UW reeled off wins in eight of its final nine regular-season games and posted a 2-1 victory at UCLA in the first round of the NCAAs. The Huskies played seven ranked opponents en route to a 12-8 record. Their 4-3 Pac-10 mark placed them in a third-place tie.
Gallimore was successful immediately upon her arrival, directing UW to a 13-6-2 record in 1994 and the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance and postseason victory. Her overall 18-year UW record stands at 189-150-31, including a 72-65-15 all-time conference mark at UW. She boasts a 21-year career record of 221-155-40. Gallimore is well respected among her peers, as evidenced by the many awards she earned in 2000, all of them voted upon by other coaches.
She was named the 2000 Pac-10 Coach of the Year by her conference colleagues and received the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) West Region Coach of the Year award. Gallimore was voted the National Coach of the Year in a Soccer Buzz coaches poll. She was chosen to serve as an assistant coach on April Heinrich's U.S. National Team staff for the Algarve Cup in Portugal during March of 2001. The coach began earning a reputation early in her tenure at Washington. Her accomplishments in 1994 earned her a designation as the West Region Coach of the Year by the NSCAA and Umbro. She served as head coach of the West Team for the U.S. Olympic Sports Festival in both 1994 and 1995 and as the head coach of the Region IV Olympic Development Program as well.
Gallimore was the head coach at San Diego State University for four years prior to arriving at UW. She was hired as Washington's second head coach in February of 1994, replacing Dang Pibulvech, the school's inaugural coach.
Her first UW team broke the existing school records for most goals scored, fewest goals allowed and most shutouts en route to the school's first NCAA Tournament berth. UW also posted its first postseason win, advancing to the regional semifinal, a heart-breaking loss to Stanford, 6-5, on penalty kicks. Washington ended the 1994 season ranked No. 13. Gallimore has proven successful at tutoring players and grooming future head coaches.
Two of her Huskies played in the WUSA professional league. Midfielder Theresa Wagner spent two seasons with the Bay Area CyberRays and was a member of the 2001 inaugural league champs. Goalkeeper Hope Solo was the fourth overall selection in the 2003 WUSA Draft. The 2001 Pac-10 Player of the Year was picked by Philadelphia. Two of Gallimore's former UW assistants have joined the head coaching ranks. Tara Erickson (Bilanski) is in her fourth season at Oregon after three years at Portland State. Chuck Sekyra left after the 2002 season to assume the head coaching position at Seattle Pacific.
A 1986 California graduate with a degree in psychology, Gallimore compiled a 32-25-9 record in four years as San Diego State's head coach. Gallimore was a four-time All-American at California (1982-85) and led the Golden Bears to the national playoffs three out of her four seasons. Later she was named the school's 1976-86 Athlete of the Decade. Following graduation, Gallimore continued to play soccer competitively while serving as an assistant at California from 1986 through 1989. She helped the Golden Bears reach the NCAA soccer Final Four twice, in 1987 and 1988.
While coaching at Cal, playing in four Olympic Sports Festivals and winning national club titles, Gallimore attended law school in San Francisco. Her alma mater honored her in 1995 with induction into the California Athletic Hall of Fame, recognizing her numerous achievements in the sport of soccer. As a player, she helped the West earn a gold medal at the 1987 Olympic Sports Festival and gained a spot on the U.S. National B Team as a result.
In 1988, she joined the California Tremors and helped that team to the national club title. Gallimore was a member of the Ajax club team of Southern California that won the 1993 national amateur championship. She was captain of the gold-medal-winning West team at the 1993 U.S. Olympic Festival. She played on the over-30 winners at both the 1998 and 1999 USASA national championships.
A native of Redondo Beach, Calif., Gallimore graduated in 1981 from South Torrance High School. She obtained her United States Soccer Federation "A" License, the highest coaching license available, in 1993. She was the Region IV Olympic Development head girl's coach for six years. In February of 1999, Gallimore coached the U.S. U-19 National Team to a second-place finish in the inaugural USYS/adidas Cup. Gallimore has been a national staff coach for the NSCAA since 1995. She served on the NCAA National Committee for Division I Women's Championships, and was an at-large representative to the Board of Directors of the NSCAA. Gallimore lives in Seattle with her son, Zachary.

Swimming & Diving Splits With Saint Louis On Saturday
Nov. 20, 2004
Chicago, Ill.- The University of Illinois at Chicago swimming and diving team capped off the first half of their season on Saturday, splitting a dual meet with visiting Saint Louis at the UIC Natatorium.
The UIC men downed the Billikens 142-93, while the Flames women's team dropped a close 134-105 decision. On the men's side, the Flames have beaten their last five opponents, while the women had a two-meet unbeaten streak snapped.
Both UIC squads continued to show tremendous balance, with the sprinters getting the Flames going as both the men's and women's 50 and 100 freestyle events were taken by UIC. Kelly Hyatt's 50 free win in 25.26 was complemented by Colleen Dougherty's victory in the 100 free (54.23), while Blake Booher swept the men's 50 (21.29) and the 100 (47.54) freestyle races.
LeRoy Stevens added another 200 freestyle victory, this time in 1:43.82 that beat the second-place finisher by nearly four seconds. Stevens has now won the 200 free event the last two times he has competed in the race.
UIC entered today's meet after earning men's and women's team wins at Western Illinois on Friday night in Macomb, Ill.
"Going 3-1 this weekend, it's a nice way to end this phase of the season," said UIC head coach Paul Moniak. "Overall this marks the halfway point of our season, and we're very happy with our progress."
Moniak was very pleased with all of his swimmers, especially the sprinters who set the stage for the team's success early and often.
"Our sprinters on both the men's and women's sides are racing consistently fast, and that's setting the tone for the rest of the team," Moniak said.
On the diving side, Tara Goodwin and Ryan Fitzer chalked up outstanding three-meter diving victories.
Other victorious performances included Kris Simos' 200 IM win, freshman Jason Dews taking a close 200 butterfly race over Simos by a mere .03, a 200 breastroke win by the emerging Edi Georg, and a great distance swim by Ari Bernstein in the 500 freestyle.
UIC will take a break from dual meet competition and head off to their annual winter training trip in Islamorada, Florida, from December 14-22. The Flames return to NCAA action on January 8th for a bout against Valparaiso and Ball State in Valparaiso, Ind., beginning at 2 p.m.

Codee Ryan Samples of Midlethian, Texas, earned the national No. 1 plate in the 51cc (4-6) Stock Limited class in the 2012 Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championships, presented by Amsoil. He also finished second in the AMA Freestone Spring Championship 50cc Stock (4-8) class and fourth in the 51cc Stock (4-6) class.
Ryder Difrancesco and Broc Walker were two of Samples' toughest competition.
"Ryder is the two-time AMA Loretta's champion along with several other championships that he has won. And we race Broc on a weekly basis and he and his family are a dedicated motofamily! Broc has several championships on his resume...," said Samples.
Samples has been racing for four years and loves this series because "it's moto and moto is our lifestyle!"
He hopes to continue racing for as long as he possibly can and plans to finish top three in the major national series.
When he is not racing, Samples enjoys playing Xbox, riding bicycles, jumping around on his pogo stick, and playing with friends.
Samples would like to thank Jesus Christ, Cobra, Thor, Smith Opties, Safety First, Bell Ray, Roost MX graphics, Pilot Travel Centers, Powerband, and Chris Samples MX Schools.
He would also like to say a special thank you to some of his friends: "The Caudle family, Tennant family, Rylie Allen's family and the Halpain brothers."

XGRT is an object oriented software system for rapid prototyping of graphics applications that has been used in several research projects. It is implemented in C++ based on the platform independent QT4 GUI library. The software is open source (GPL) and can be downloaded at the XGRT download page. The system consists of an object oriented base layer, which is application independend, and an interactive 3D editor. The 3D editor currently provides the following features
- Real-time rendering and editing of arbitrarily large point clouds, size is only limited by available hard disk space (out-of-core visualization and editing).
- Modular scene graph architecture that supports point clouds, triangle meshes, and volume data.
- Supports the most common graphics exchange formats (VRML, OBJ, SMF, PLY, OFF, BMP, JPG, PNG, universal configurable ASCII & Binary importer, ASCII export).
- Attribute channel architecture: Arbitrary point / vertex / face / volume attributes, run-time configurable.
- Flexible rendering architecture: Run-time programmable hardware shaders (shader input is bindable to user attribute channels).
- Hardware accelerated global illumination rendering: Ambient occlusion, shadow mapping, environment mapping.
The system is highly modular and extensible. The main focus is rapid prototyping of research ideas, the system has not been designed as an end user application. It comes with no support and no warrenties.

A longtime stalwart of the contemporary jazz scene, McBride takes a detour from his usual path for an intriguing new recording that reinterprets a dozen contemporary pop songs via straight-ahead jazz arrangements. Fleshed out with the help of a live trio – guitarist Dan Wilson, bassist Roger Hines and drummer Elijah Gilmore – Lookin' For A Change is a collection of songs originally written and recorded by a range of pop luminaries, including Gnarls Barkley ("Crazy"), Coldplay, John Mayer, Seal and several others. These reinterpretations, along with three original compositions from McBride's own inspirational well, make for an engaging juxtaposition of the best elements of contemporary pop and traditional jazz.
"Gnarls Barkley's manic tune gets a more subtle, contemplative treatment from jazz pianist McBride."

Treasured Lands: The Fifty-Eight U.S. National Parks in
There is a spectacular exhibit of large-format, color photos only 10 minutes away from the inn that we highly recommend!
For the past 15 years, photographer Quang-Tuan Luong has traveled across the United States, treasure hunting. Not for gold or hidden oil reserves, but to capture in photographs the spectacular beauty of our national parks. Luong has single-handedly documented all 58 U.S. national parks, a feat that no other photographer has accomplished. The result of his quest is featured in the exhibition, "Treasured Lands: The Fifty-Eight U.S. National Parks in Focus."
To get his pictures, Luong kayaked through iceberg-laden waters, canoed down wild rivers, scuba-dived tropical seas, climbed to the summit of Mt. McKinley, and frequently trekked the trail-less terrain of the back country, all while lugging his 75-pound, large-format camera, photo gear, and camping equipment. He once had to sacrifice his gear to escape a bear attack.

Learn More About Living Room Furniture
Why We Love Living Room Furniture
Your living room is the central gathering place in the home. It is the space where you can entertain guests or relax with your family, where you watch TV or socialize over coffee. To meet all these needs, the furniture you choose for your living room must perform the double duty of impressing while also being comfortable. Lumens' selection of modern living room furniture meets this challenge easily with style that's at once clean, contemporary and laid back.
Where Modern Living Room Furniture Goes Best
It's best to approach the placement of your living room furniture in layers. The foundation furniture pieces are the larger ones: living room sofas and coffee tables. Once these are in place, complete a conversation area with supplemental arm and side chairs and side tables. And in order to keep your living room design looking sleek, neat and tidy, shelves and media storage are a necessity.
Other Great Options
Gus Modern and Blu Dot have some of the best options for modern living room furniture. You'll also want to accessorize your contemporary furniture pieces for a truly cohesive design statement. In front of sofas and underneath coffee tables, modern rugs provide a soft and colorful foundation. A chandelier, table lamp or floor lamp will ensure the lighting in the room is perfect and finally, the finishing touches provided by decorative accessories will truly personalize the space to your taste.

Ce manuel pratique et simple d'utilisation à l'usage des décideurs et des praticiens fait le point des mesures les plus récentes prises par les pouvoirs publics en direction des diasporas. La question qui se pose aux responsables politiques n'est pas tant de savoir si les diasporas peuvent être utiles à leur pays d'origine, mais comment elles le sont et quels types de politiques et de programmes publics sont à même de favoriser ces relations.
This report reviews the history of immigration legislation since 9/11, the new enforcement mandates that arose immediately afterward, and the unsuccessful efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform bills during the 109th and 110th Congresses.
Migration to the United States from Mexico and Central America's Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) has accelerated in the last four decades. This increase has been driven by economic opportunities and facilitated by social networks of friends and family already in the United States.
Since 1970, the immigrant populations from Mexico and Central America living in the United States have increased significantly: rising by a factor of 20 even as the total U.S. immigrant population increased four-fold over the period. This demographic report examines the age, educational, and workforce characteristics of these immigrants.
This edited volume addresses the impact of the economic crisis in seven major immigrant-receiving countries: the United States, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Over the past half century, migration from Mexico and Central America to the United States has been driven in part by regional demographic and human-capital trends. As the U.S. labor force became better educated, fewer native workers accepted certain low-skilled jobs. This report offers a look at the economic changes that have coincided with a Mexican and Central American population boom.

Elliot, of Elliot's Blog, wrote a nice post today about how to get in to the domaining industry. His point simply put was to set reasonable goals and work to the completion of those small goals. It was a very good point and one I believe can be applied much further out that just domaining. I had a boss that used to say the best way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. I am sure he did not coin the phrase, but I have certainly never forgotten it.
I am sure I am not alone in my eagerness, lack of patience, determination, entrepreneurial spirit and drive. It helps to be reminded that races take time and are not won with the first step. Stay the course. Remember, just the fact that you are running puts you way ahead of most.

Jill Pilar Mullins, 57, of Crimora, returned home Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012, to join her departed mother, father and brothers, and her Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.
She was born June 17, 1955, in Erie, Pa., a daughter of the late Chester Arthur Wakefield, Sr. and Irene Florence Hoy Wakefield. She was also preceded in death by two brothers, Bill and Chet Wakefield.
Jill was a skilled hairstylist and proud co-owner of Shear Reflections Hair, Nail, and Tanning Salon, which her customers agreed was not just a business but a sanctuary where she could express her truest passion: Sharing the love of Jesus Christ to all in need. She loved gardening, animals, Motown and laughter, and was happiest cheering on her grandchildren as they participated in sports. She was a generous contributor to various causes ranging from the promotion of advances in treatment for children with cancer to housing the abject poor in Appalachia. She will be remembered always as a self-sacrificing woman with a love of life who joyfully put aside her own well-being for the happiness of others.
She is survived by her husband of 23 years, Phil Mullins; daughters Melissa Volgare-Cline, Christina Mullins-King and her husband, David, and Frankie Mullins; son T.J. Volgare and wife, Diana; and six grandchildren, Brayden, Jaxon and Liam Cline, Emmalynn King, Savannah Clough, and Mason Mullins. Also surviving are her sister, Elona DeWitt; her brother Scott Wakefield and his wife, Lori; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday at McDow Funeral Home. A service will be conducted the following day at 1 p.m. at McDow Funeral Home in Waynesboro by the Rev. Michael Gayer. Interment will follow at Augusta Memorial Park.
Pallbearers will be Jacob Wakefield, Travis Sellers, David King, David Bower, David Staples, Jordan Lewis and Al Hernandez
Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 1920-H Medical Ave., Harrisonburg, VA 22801; or to the Patient Advocate Foundation, 421 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA 23666.
Condolences may be expressed online at www.mcdowfuneralhomeinc.com.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by efourmy Love these! I saw these in a store and fell in love. Had to purchase them online, but they were easy to assemble. One of them does have a small chip in the wood, but I don't think it will be an issue. I'm very pleased with them! July 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anne Exactly what I wanted These chairs did not disappoint. I had them shipped which I received quickly, they were easy to put together and look amazing in my outside space. I had one issue with one of the arms of the chair being cracked and upon calling customer support they issued a replacement part immediately. Great chairs and great customer service. June 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by EmeraldCoastBeachGirl A lot of look at a great price I love these simply, but pretty Adirondack chairs. I wanted something punchy, so the spicy orange color fit the bill. But I didn't want something everyone else on our lake has, so this style with three simple and elegant backboards was perfect. We put these stunning chairs on our dock and have a pretty and relaxing place to sit and enjoy the evening. The chairs are finished in an oil rub and the rain just rolls right off. My husband was impressed with the quality and asked me twice how much I paid for them, because he was surprised (plus I got them on sale as an added bonus!) Might need to get two more! July 20, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Madisami Disappointed in the Quality I was so excited to get these Spicy Orange-colored chairs on my patio only to open them and be disappointed. My first reaction was negative in seeing the poor paint job on the chairs. From the picture, I envisioned more of a solid color than a "wash". We then quickly noticed that the same board on both chairs was cracked around the screw area. We were going to use one of the boards as a replacement for one of the chairs only to realize the chairs were painted after they were screwed in. It looks as if they were also cracked prior to painting. These never should have shipped! The price seemed great but not for the quality. Had to return these and am still looking for my "perfect chair." Keep in mind that there is still a $20 shipping charge -- even on "free shipping." May 31, 2013

This weekend the Church observes the Feast of Christ the King. It is a feast that acknowledges that Jesus is Lord, not only of individuals, but of nations, empires, cultures, and the entire universe. It is a feast that focuses on the fact that he will come again to judge the living and the dead, and that all history finds its fulfillment in him. The Dominion of Christ over all creation is shown in the fact that he has conquered death. That is why his followers are pro-life. They bear witness to his kingdom, which the liturgy of this weekend says is "a kingdom of truth and life, a kingdom of holiness and grace, a kingdom of justice, love, and peace."
This weekend, let's celebrate the fact that Christ is King, and that life has the last word over death.

Sounds right. Gradually ground into defeat, as opposed to those electric 1st and 3rd quarter efforts Okie State put up.
Kansas Must Be Destroyed

Just way to many key injuries for our beloved cyclones. I hope they pull it off.
Just play angry.
