Senior Garrett Cannizaro has five doubles on the season - tied for first in Conference USA
March 4, 2013
NEW ORLEANS - After playing four of their last five games on the road, Tulane's baseball squad will begin a five-game home stand by welcoming the Northwestern State Demons to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium for contests on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Tuesday's contest will begin at 6:30pm CST, and Wednesday's game will get underway at 2pm CST.
"Northwestern State has very similar numbers as our team, and we have identical records," said Tulane baseball head coach Rick Jones. "I know they are extremely well coached. We are trying to find our way with a banged up pitching staff, but this will be a good challenge for us."
Tulane (6-6) is returning from a three-game weekend series in Tuscaloosa, Ala., against the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Greenies took two of three games from Alabama after only winning once in their previous five games. Tulane defeated New Orleans last Thursday at home before travelling two states over.
Northwestern State (6-6) is coming off a weekend in which they won just one game in a three-game series against Missouri State - a team that Tulane faced on Sunday during the Texas State Tournament to open the season. The Demons dropped two games to Texas A&M during the middle of last week after defeating Texas-Pan American in two of three games. Northwestern State swept Grambling to start the season before dropping their first contest of the year to Louisiana Lafayette on Feb. 20.
Tuesday's matchup will feature two lefties, as Tulane will send left-handed senior David Napoli to the mound for his first start of the season. A weekend starter for most of the 2012 campaign, Napoli has appeared out of the bullpen three times this year, posting a 0-1 record in 9.2 innings, posting an ERA of 1.86. The New Orleans native has struck out 10 batters this season, while walking only six. The Demons will use Andrew Adams - a redshirt junior - on the mound. He will be making his third start of the year. Adams has no decisions on the year, notching a 3.86 ERA in just seven innings. His walks and strikeouts are even at seven.
For the second straight week, Tulane will wait until the day of to determine who will start for them on the mound on Wednesday. Northwestern State will use lefty junior Cody Butler on the mound for Wednesday's tilt. Butler - who has made three appearances on the year - boasts an ERA of 13.50 in 5.1 innings pitched. He has collected seven strikeouts to only five walks.
The Demons are led by first-year head coach Lane Burroughs. He succeeded J.P. Davis who resigned on May 31 of last year. Burroughs previously coached as an assistant at Mississippi State, Kansas State, Southern Miss after getting started as an assistant under current Arkansas head coach Dave Van Horn at Northwestern State in 1997.
At the dish, the Demons are led by Will Watson, a senior from Dallas. Watson is batting .362 with three doubles, a triple and seven RBIs on the 2013 campaign. Nick Purdy is the only other batter over .300, with an average of .319 to go along with his three doubles and six RBIs. Cort Brinson is right under that average at .296, with one home run and four RBI.
As a team, the Demons are batting .249. Their pitching staff's ERA is 4.99. Tulane's team batting is similar to the Demons - sitting at .245 - but Tulane's staff ERA is much lower at 3.09.
Tulane did not start the year strong at the plate, but has come on strong as of late. Senior Brennan Middleton - who brings an 11-game hitting streak into the Northwestern State contest - is batting .420, good for second in Conference USA. His 21 hits on the year are first in the conference. Freshman Tim Yandel upped his average over the weekend to .294. The Georgia native has ten hits on the season, fourth on the squad. Bozeman, Mont., native Sean Potkay had a huge series against the Crimson Tide, going 5-for-12 at the plate to bring his season batting average up to .289. He also added his first home run of the year in Saturday's contest. Junior Andrew Garner is only batting .255, but added two RBI over the weekend to bring his season total to a Conference USA second-best 10.
Senior Garrett Cannizaro laced two doubles during the series against Alabama, allowing him to be tied for first in Conference USA in the category on the year.
Tulane leads the all-time series against the Demons, 18-3. In the last ten games, Tulane has only lost once - back in 2009 when the Green Wave fell 10-6 in 10 innings on March 3.
Both games against Northwestern State will be broadcast live on the flagship station for Tulane athletics, 106.1 The Ticket. Live stats will be made available through TulaneGreenWave.com.
Over the weekend, Tulane will host High Point for a three-game series over the weekend.

Galaxy cluster motion seen for the first time
Jul 13, 2012 4 comments
An international team of astronomers and physicists has, for the first time, detected the large-scale motion of galaxy clusters, using an effect that was proposed almost 40 years ago. This is the first direct measurement of the motion of objects at cosmological distances and such observations could lead to a better understanding of how the universe formed and evolved and also help astronomers study dark matter and dark energy.
In 1972 Russian physicists Rashid Sunyaev and Yakov Zel'dovich argued that a moving cluster of galaxies should, in theory, cause a slight temperature shift in the cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) radiation – the leftover thermal radiation from the Big Bang – as it passes through it. This Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (SZ) effect is caused by high-energy electrons distorting the CMB through inverse Compton scattering and can be divided into three categories, or "effects" – thermal, kinematic and polarized. It is the second variety – the kinematic Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (kSZ) – that was used in the new work to detect the cosmic-scale motion. The kSZ is a second-order effect where the CMB photons interact with high-energy electrons in the galaxy clusters, as a result of the electron's bulk motion. Radiation passing through a galaxy cluster moving toward Earth appears hotter by a few millionths of a degree, while radiation passing through a cluster moving away appears slightly cooler. Although proposed 40 years ago, this is the first time the kSZ effect has been observed.
Come together
To get around the difficulties of detecting such a small temperature change, lead author Nick Hand from University of California, Berkeley in the US, along with 58 collaborators from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in Chile and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) project in New Mexico, compiled signals from several clusters to detect the temperature shift. Data from a catalogue of 27,291 luminous galaxies from BOSS were laid over maps of the same region of sky observed by the ACT between 2008 and 2010. As each galaxy likely resides in a galaxy cluster, their positions were used to determine the locations of clusters that would distort the CMB radiation.
In a galaxy far far away
The teams detected the motion of galaxy clusters that are several billion light-years away and moving at velocities of up to 600 km/s. The velocities of these distant objects are extremely difficult to detect as they require very precise distance measurements.
"One of the main advantages of the kSZ effect is that its magnitude is independent of a galaxy cluster's distance from us, so we can measure the velocity of an object's motion toward or away from Earth at much larger distances than was possible," explains Hand. He also says that the method could serve as an additional statistical check, independent of currently used measuring methods, for future large-scale measurements.
Of the 27,291 galaxies in the BOSS data, the team used 7500 of the brightest galaxies to uncover the kSZ signal. As two galaxy clusters move toward each other as a result of their mutual gravitational attraction, the team found that the kSZ effect becomes more pronounced – a slight cold spot in the CMB data would suggest that a cluster was moving away from us, whereas a slight hot spot would mean the cluster was moving towards us, similar to the Doppler effect. As the temperature shift data is averaged over thousands of the BOSS objects, a clear kSZ signal was seen.
"The kSZ signal is small because the odds of a microwave hitting an electron while passing through a galaxy cluster are low, and the change in the microwave's energy from this collision is slight," says ACT collaborator and physicist David Spergel of Princeton University, US. "Including several thousand galaxies in the dataset reduced distortion and we were left with a strong signal."
Two collaborations are better than one
The researchers point out that if the data from just the ACT or the BOSS project was analysed by itself, the signal would not have been apparent, as neither was originally built to look for it specifically. Both the ACT and the BOSS projects differ in the objects they study, their method of data collection and even the wavelengths in which they operate – microwaves for the ACT, visible-light waves for BOSS. This work highlights the importance of large collaborations, which might even be fundamentally different in their missions, sharing and combining their data to study subtle physical effects that no single survey could detect – says the team.
According to Hand "The [kSZ] signal agrees remarkably well with the typical CMB cosmology that we have developed over the past decade…so well, in fact, that it was not expected! So it was quite exciting to confirm something predicted 40 years ago, when neither the ACT or BOSS teams were planning on it."
The strength of the kSZ effect's signal depends on the distribution of electrons in and around galaxies. So the signal could be used to trace the location of atoms in the nearby universe, revealing how galaxies form. In the near future, Hand hopes that increased sensitivity for the ACT, which is due an upgrade, and larger data sets will mean even further improvements of the kSZ signal, which in turn will mean better velocity measurements.
The research is to be published in Physical Review Letters. A preprint of the work is available on arXiv.

EXCERPT – Here an excerpt of William Kamkwamba's new book "The Boy who Harnessed the Wind" William Kamkwamba joins GMA to discuss his new incredible book "The Boy who Harnessed the Wind" that is getting every everyone from Al Gore to Nicholas Negroponte excited.
Amazon named the book its Best of the Month September 2009:
Discarded motor parts, PVC pipe, and an old bicycle wheel may be junk to most people, but in the inspired hands of William Kamkwamba, they are instruments of opportunity. Growing up amid famine and poverty in rural Malawi, wind was one of the few abundant resources available, and the inventive fourteen-year-old saw its energy as a way to power his dreams. "With a windmill, we'd finally release ourselves from the troubles of darkness and hunger," he realized. "A windmill meant more than just power, it was freedom." Despite the biting jeers of village skeptics, young William devoted himself to borrowed textbooks and salvage yards in pursuit of a device that could produce an "electric wind." The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is an inspiring story of an indomitable will that refused to bend to doubt or circumstance. When the world seemed to be against him, William Kamkwamba set out to change it.
Al Gore says of the book:
"William Kamkwamba's achievements with wind energy should serve as a model of what one person, with an inspired idea, can do to tackle the crisis we face. His book tells a moving and exciting story."
Here in an excerpt:
The preparation was complete, so I waited. The muscles in my arms still burned from having worked so hard, but now I was finished. The machinery was bolted and secured. The tower was steady and unmoving under the weight of twisted steel and plastic. Looking at it now, it appeared exactly as it was—something out of a dream.
News of the machine had spread to the villages, and people were starting to arrive. The traders spotted it from their stalls and packed up their things. The truckers left their vehicles along the roads. Everyone walked into the valley, and now gathered in its shadow. I recognized these faces. Some of these people had mocked me for months, and still they whispered, even laughed. More of them were coming. It was time.
Balancing the small reed and wires in my left hand, I used the other to pull myself onto the tower's first rung. The soft wood groaned under my weight, and the compound fell silent. I continued to climb, slowly and assuredly, until I was facing the machine's crude frame. Its plastic arms were burned and blackened, its metal bones bolted and welded into place. I paused and studied the flecks of rust and paint, how they appeared against the fields and mountains beyond. Each piece told its own tale of discovery, of being lost and found in a time of hardship and fear. Finally together now, we were all being reborn.
Two wires dangled from the heart of the machine and gently danced in the breeze. I knotted their frayed ends together with the wires that sprouted off the reed, just as I'd always pictured. Down below, the crowd cackled like a gang of birds.
"Quiet down," someone said. "Let's see how crazy this boy really is."
A sudden gust muffled the voices below, then picked up into a steady wind. It took hold of my T-shirt and whistled through the tower rungs. Reaching over, I removed a bent piece of wire that locked the machine's spinning wheel in place. Once released, the wheel and arms began to turn. They spun slowly at first, then faster and faster, until the force of their motion rocked the tower. My knees buckled, but I held on.
Don't let me down.
I gripped the reed and wires and waited for the miracle. Finally it came, at first a tiny light that flickered from my palm, then a surging magnificent glow. The crowd gasped and shuddered. The children pushed for a better look.
"It's true!" someone said.
"Yes," said another. "The boy has done it."

Love the action. Milla rules. Can't wait.
These are silly movies! But they're great fun. Makes me wish the Marvel superhero adaptations had the same kind of energy.
Agreed, silly movies. But I love them!! Can't wait!!!
The last one was great.I will have to see this one but not in 3D.
datss frekenn awesome!!!
Oh yeah, cant wait. love this series....yeah, milla u the bomb girl.

Less than satisfactory
by User101668 on
Unlike a five star rating to give you their website address I actually suffered the misfortune of having a car repaired in their shop. They performed poor quality repairs, some of which were incomplete. Maybe it was a bad week, but I asked them to correct the problems. Sadly we were told our car was repaired correctly. Any further efforts to have the substandard work corrected led to rude and hostile treatment by the manager. This shop gets one star because they got paint on our car the wrong shade, but paint. After we asked; they did sand out the runs and sags, but that was all they were willing to correct.

SUPPLY—Beginning Oct. 1, Brunswick Community Hospital will restrict visitation of children younger than 18 in an effort to combat the spread of flu, specifically H1N1.
Hospital spokesperson Amy Myers said children and adolescents are more susceptible to H1N1 and have a higher incidence of infection than adults.
Children are often contagious before they exhibit symptoms.
The Professional Association of Parasail Operators (PAPO) requires numerous operational standards and guidelines for its members and strongly urges all parasail operators to join the group.
A few of PAPO's Operating Standards and Guidelines are as follows:
The company N.C. Watersports reportedly uses for insurance is not licensed to operate in North Carolina and could face fines from the state.
N.C. Watersports president Barrett McMullan testified last week the Ocean Isle Beach parasailing company is insured by Marine Specialty Management, an insurer based in Lake Havasu, Ariz.
According to the N.C. Department of Insurance, however, Marine Specialty Management does not appear to be licensed in the state, meaning there is nothing stopping the company from not paying claims.
West Brunswick scored two touchdowns in the final 2 minutes, 18 seconds of the first half—including a 45-yard pass from Quan Bates to Thomas Reaves on the last play of the first half—and went on to beat South Brunswick 41-16 in the opening game of the Waccamaw Conference football season Monday night at M.H. Rourk Stadium.
WHITEVILLE—On another rainy Friday night, when some high school football games were postponed, the Whiteville Wolfpack had no problem handling the Scorpions of North Brunswick in a 30-20 victory.
The game was the start of conference play in a stadium filled with tradition, dating back to World War II.
BOILING SPRING LAKES—When the West Brunswick Trojan and South Brunswick Cougar junior varsity football teams played Sept. 3, the Trojans held off a Cougar comeback for a 26-22 victory. That meeting seemed like a defensive struggle compared to what happened Sept. 24 in Boiling Spring Lakes. In a game that featured more than 600 yards of total offense, South scored early and often en route to a 45-27 victory.
West's top-five runners finished in the top six in winning a three-team boys' cross-country meet Sept. 23 at North Brunswick.
Roberto Valerio was first and Juan Gonzalez second in pacing West to a team score of 18 points—15 points are perfect finish.
North was second with 42 points and West Bladen third with 81 points.
West's Ronnie Dellinger was fourth, Jason Huff fifth and John Frink sixth, completing the team scoring.
Other West finishers: Bryan Murdaugh, ninth; Dylan Bernier, 12th; James Hall, 15th.
Getting continued good play from lower-seeded players, the South Brunswick girls tennis team routed Whiteville 9-0 Sept. 24 at South.
South improved to 5-0 in the conference, 7-0 overall.
The Cougars' No. 4-6 singles players lost four games in six sets.
At No. 4. Sarah Brock beat Allison Royal 6-0, 6-0. At No. 5, Hilary Walker beat Jacq Rapely 6-0, 6-0. At No. 6, Tiffany Capps beat Emily Maultsby 6-2, 6-2.
BOILING SPRING LAKES—Robert Jones scored four goals and Tyler Evans two as South Brunswick beat North Brunswick 6-3 in a Waccamaw Conference soccer game Sept. 23 at Jack Campbell Stadium.
Jones scored the first goal six minutes into the game off a corner kick from Tyler Fisher. Eight minutes later, another goal by Jones put South ahead 2-0.
North cut the lead to 2-1 when Eric Spafford scored on a penalty kick. But South took a 3-1 lead when Jones scored off a deflection.
What looked to be a promising finish in the Las Vegas 350 for Chad McCumbee and the SS Green Light team ended with a disappointing 16th-place finish.
McCumbee won $11,430 and has won $225,719 this season.
McCumbee was quick during the heat of the day in both of Saturday's practice sessions, running in the top 10. He qualified TheGPSstore.com No. 07 in the seventh position and things looked good for the SS Green Light team.

About Me
Food is my passion. From ingredient sourcing to its preparation to the end result that lands in my mouth—I have always taken every bit of care into account. Ingredients matter—but even the most basic and simple ingredients, when manipulated well, can activate my salivary glands.
That said—I am in it for the flavor—simple or complex, fine or rustic, organic or adventurous. You will not find me a picky ingredient chaser—my heart is a trollop and will sing for any succulent dish that ensnares my senses…
I never lacked for incredible food growing up thanks to parents that also had a deep love and appreciation for cooking and ingredients. While my mom was the chef, my father was the gardener--our entire backyard was a garden full of herbs and vegetables. All organic, all well-tended. Our restaurant sourced the majority of our ingredients from that garden. People always ask me..."What are the Lao known for..." Looking at my parents and, indeed, most of the parents' of my friends...my answer would be..."The love of food and gardening."

WASHINGTON — A day after First Lady Michelle Obama asked members of the Grocery Manufacturers Association to supply supermarkets with healthier options, Kraft Foods announced plans to reduce sodium by an average of 10% across its portfolio over the next two years. Under such a plan, sodium in Easy Mac Cups will be reduced by 20% and Oscar Mayer Bologna will undergo a 17% reduction. "We are reducing sodium because it's good for consumers and, if done properly, it's good for business," said ...

We remember experimenting with makeup in middle school, picking up every dirt cheap cream eyeshadow the drug store had to offer only to come home and discover all that was left of our beautiful blue hue was a line of sadness in the crease of our lid. We wish they had Too Faced Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease ($18) when we were thirteen. Now we use it when we go out to a sweaty party knowing we'll look fab-u-lous from start to finish.
this stuff is good, but i've noticed it doesn't last as long for those with oily skin, as urban decay's primer potion does.

Remember, Suggestion Box Friday is your chance to be the blog writer! Leave Comments and discuss the issues that matter to you!
First off - THANK YOU!
Welcome new readers and thank you to everyone who stuck with this blog for so long. Your comments, emails, and support have made all of this all possible. Just My Two Copper cannot exist without you and that's why I thank you all so very much.
It's been overwhelming at times, as I have been flooded with emails but I love reading them and many includ neat tricks for making gold. I'll do my best to pass them along to all of you via posts and videos! Remember to include what name you'd like me to refer to as the originator of your idea. For those of you who need help with your own blogs/websites I am doing my best to get back to you as well.
Regarding Auction House Viper
Spacedrabbit said...
i've done this recently, due to all of the accumulated stuff I had in my banks. i was really just interested in getting rid of all the stuff and not having to see it back in my mailbox in two days. needless to say i saw a return of ~300g in the first 30 minutes. I didnt price things too much lower than the lowest bid.. maybe 1-2g for cheaper items and 5-10g for more expensive ones. if i knew a particular item sold well, however, i priced it somewhere between the lowest and highest prices.but if i was the only one posting a particular item that sold well, i was sure to tack on an "exclusivity" tax. :)
Darraxus also said...
I have been making some good money while leveling my inscription by looking at what glyphs are going for a nice amount, and how many there are on the market. If there are too many at low prices, I hold them until the others are bought up then post mine. Easily making a few hundred gold a day for like 15 minutes of leveling inscription.
Regarding Old World Essences and more importantly items people like to sell currently
I highly recommend that everyone reads through these excellent comments, and I'd like to thank each poster for their remarks (choice, Beryllos, basehorhonda, Wiggin, Jesse, Phatious and an annonymous poster). I had a ton of fun reading through these so thank you again!
Regarding Freya hording her cloth in sholozar basin:
Mark said...
Impressive find there markco. I stopped by and farmed there for about 30-40 mins. got 80 cloth, countless vendor trash and quite a bit of cash. The only downtime was when I ran outa mana. Thanks for the awesome tip!
Markco's Arena Team
Had a great night and went up to 2064 (+43 points in 13 games) as prot warrior / holy paladin which makes us one of the top teams in the world as far as I can tell with alloraan's team leading at 2413. The best part was... I can actually USE some deadly gear now; aka the shoulders. I'm hoping to make a video near the end of the season to show off how fun this combo is. Hopefully three more items from 10 man naxx and the Tier 7 or 7.5 helm will drop so that I can finish my block set too.
Ulduar is probably coming early April as well as the end of season 5. What items are going to be replaced in terms of gear upgrades? Will there be new gems, new enchants, new leg armor and spellthread? Predictions and analysis coming soon, but I'd like to see what you're all thinking about as well!
I'd like to get you all saving up now for the next patch, but you don't want to be stockpiling Bold Scarlet Rubies to find out that a new epic gem has replaced them! Expect a post on this as we draw closer to the end of S5.

Thanks for the shout. I like reading about all the litte methods people use to make gold even if I wont use all of them myself.

Buy and hold for Darkmoon Faire. I camp an alt right at Lhara's booth, buy everything that has a reasonable margin, and hold for a week to let market pricing return to normal.
Beware! Some of her prices, especially on jewels, are ABOVE market prices.
amorob said... March 13, 2009 at 3:23 PM
Keep some of the lower priced gems. Hopefully they are going up in price.
There are new JCing recipes being added which uses Forest Emeralds and Sky Sapphires. They also have ones with Scarlet Rubies and Twilight Opals.
Also, they are finally adding the Shifting Twilight Opal which should increase the prices of those.
Beryllos said... March 13, 2009 at 4:15 PM
Thanks for that link Amorob I have been trying to figure out what to do with my Forest Emeralds and Sky Sapphires.
I started the frenzyheart grind to revered, which I should have done long ago, in an attempt to have some use for the emeralds, and I have been able to sell a fairly consistent, however also fairly small, stock of the mana regen Sky sapphires for some profit.
Hopefully these new recipes will be a way to profitably use more of these two gems in particular.
A new profitable looking recipe for Twilight Opals from daily tokens isn't half bad either :)

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore may have come off as a strong character on the show and she may have rubbed people the wrong way. But yesterday, fans of the show learned that not only does she not have a relationship with her mother, but the one with her father is also a challenging one. According to a new Radar Online report published on Jan. 12, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kenya Moore is now getting support from fans after watching the scene with her father.
"There are some missing things in my life that I have unresolved that's blocking me from moving forward in relationships and I think I need to resolve my issue with my mother," she said. "You can forget that," her dad bluntly answered. Kenya herself didn't do anything to her mother to make her take such distance from her daughter. She was born out of wedlock in the 1970s, which was enough for her mother to disown her daughter.
"It was a stigma, especially in the black community," she said. "I have never been able to get a straight answer from my dad as to why my mother, to this day, treats me like I don't exist," Kenya continued. It sounds like Kenya really wants to find peace with her mother but her father doesn't see it as a possibility.
And as the scene was playing out, fans reached out to Kenya on Twitter to show support. "Almost all is forgiven, Kenya your parents are HORRIBLE! #RHOA," wrote one person, while another added, "No wonder this poor child is so messed up, her parents are nuts, both of them, smdh Thank god for grandmoms." One person questioned the parenting, adding, "Damn both Kenya's parents are mean. How can u treat ur child like that?"
Do you see Kenya in a different light now?

Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE, perhaps in a tip of his tattered Certified Hypnosis Pro™ cap to infamous name-sake stripper Blaze Starr, is in the forefront of a new generation of R-Rated and X-Rated touring comedic hypnotists like J. Medicine Hat, Tony Lee, Sailesh, Frank Santos, and Justin Tranz who are re-inventing nightly both the word and format of adult, stage hypnotism entertainment for the better.
The truth is this—like burlesque, stage hypnosis entertainment is really all about the art of the tease, than the strip.
"Stage hypnotism BLAZE-style is highly suggestive,
Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE was also inspired by the daring spirit of Pat Collins, who made stage hypnosis a potent form of turned-on entertainment, because like Blaze Starr, she, too, challenged and pushed the social, cultural and sexual status quos boundaries.
Famous female nightclub hypnotist Pat Collins, a.k.a. "The Hip Hypnotist" was the highly respected grande dame of stage hypnosis entertainment. She was also an aspiring singer who made two record albums of songs, one titled "Turn On With The Hip Hypnotist" and another called "Sleep With Pat Collins." We invite you to click on the above link to hear Ms. Collins talking (not singing) about hypnosis and how to "turn on" the power of the mind. This audio is also available for listening on our FREE Stuff! page.
Lastly, you can click here to see a picture of Pat Collins and read a brief bio about this iconoclastic female hypnotist.
"The BLAZE Adult Comedy Hypnosis Show is sexy without being lurid, racy but not hard X-rated fun!"
You are a comedy club, nightclub, theater, or large bar owner or booker and you want entertainment which packs the house nightly with paying customers—repeat customers who drink and eat and drink and drink and spend a lot of money when having a good time with Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE.
Titillating & Unique
Admit it, you love stage hypnosis because it mysterious and has huge appeal that keeps people coming back again and again (in the same week) to see "the hypnotist" unlike the nameless comic people see usually just once during their run.
You also want and welcome a change from the same old music or from traditional "stand up" comedy nights.
"Hello BLAZE. Thank you for a fabulous time and show stories that will
go on in infamy about me with my coworkers! We all truly enjoyed
ourselves and hope to see you again. Send me a tape of the show so I can
Promotional Support
Every show receives Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE 's full promotional and media support including: show fliers, table tents, posters, press releases, and BLAZE loves making local TV and radio appearances you set up to promote his appearance.
Check Your Inhibitions at the Door
An "adults-only" show does not mean a "vulgar" or "gross" show that horrifies people. Nor does it mean there's full-on nudity or anyone doing overtly or sexually explicit things either. Not at all.
Rather, the Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE Adults-Only Hypnosis Show is full of lots of double-entendre humor, sexual innuendo and even stinky fart gags. But there are no graphic sex-toys or inflatable props. Sorry pervs.
Still, there is likely to be lots of ADULT humor and a few off-color words, wise-cracks and sound-effects tied to "suggestions" sprinkled artfully in for laughs and dramatic affect.
And that's why we urge—all anal-retentive tight-asses and people with virginal ears (especially those adults who don't really know how to have a good time) not to book BLAZE, nor attend his erotic-oriented comedy hypnosis show.
As for you, dear visitor, and all others we say—
When you want to knock the socks and thongs off your audience, then you must get the Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE because there is almost no telling where his show will go… from ridiculously funny to recklessly risqué… to saucy and salacious!
"Hi BLAZE. The wife and me (the ol'boy with the cowboy hat) were in
your late show. We both really enjoyed being hypnotized! Even though we
don't remember
Watch as your friends and strangers audition for a porn movie and enjoy repeatedly a pleasurable party in their pants that it really has to be seen (and experienced) to be believed.
"BLAZE, man, Saturday night's show was a riot!
We don't want to give the entire show away, but here are just a few examples: Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE plays with the deeply hypnotized people by making them do anything from forgetting their name to calling home with their "new" name…to the risqué bits like watch their breasts triple in size, guys thinking they've lost their "stuff" and look like a Ken doll, and each enjoys the sensation of having the best pleasurable moments… they've ever had in their life with their eyes closed and clothes on!
"Watching ordinary people shed inhibitions and blindly accept the outrageous suggestions from BLAZE, makes for
a fascinating & pleasurable show! By the way,
BLAZE keeps things in control just enough so as to not make someone do something totally humiliating and possibly illegal like strip their clothes off or say terribly vulgar things just to be crude. Simply put, Certified Master Stage Hypnotist BLAZE is a trained and skillful hypnotist with the uncanny ability to persuade hypnotically audience volunteers to behave outrageously on stage.
Embarrassment is Never REALLY Ever Permanent
Hypnotized adult volunteers are not permanently embarrassed. LOL!!!. That's because the show's emphasis is on the hilarious aspects of the uninhibited antics, BLAZE's hypnotized volunteers are never really embarrassed and often return night after night to be hypnotized. Many of them purchase videos of their own performances.
Why That's So Much Delicious Fun!
That's so simply because when you are deeply hypnotized you may express yourself and be more aggressive and open than you would be in a normal sober frame of mind. However, even while hypnotized deeply your mind would never allow you to do something that you would never do under any circumstances in your conscious, waking life.
"Hey, BLAZE. I was in your show last night.
I'm the blond in the skirt you made give birth and…
other things—thank you
I want
Nice & Naughty™Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE can perform an early evening soft-R-rated show and the late-night or midnight UNCENSORED or hard-R--to-X-rated show.
"BLAZE, I was the shaved-head guy volunteer last night and let me say
it was truly awesome. I never had so much fun! Please send me a copy of
the show
The Nice & Naughty™ Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE Adults-Only Hypnosis Show is radically different, always richly entertaining, and guaranteed to be a night of Bacchanalian revelry (sex and drink themes) you will never forget either seeing or being the show.
Get It Right
Nice & Naughty™ says it all about Comedy Stage Hypnotist BLAZE who is best being silly, salacious and outrageous. His mannerisms, jokes and snappy comebacks will have you wetting yourself with laughter especially when cocktails are consumed heavily. Says BLAZE matter-of-factly —
"My show is the only adult comedy hypnosis show where underwear becomes outerwear and my audiences
"Thanks BLAZE. That was an absolutely
"We look forward to working with and WOWING you!"

Ryan Dungey wins St. Louis SX and Championship, Suzuki Racing

Syrah released in honor of King of Supercross
Questions in Mike Cinqmars death unanswered
With 3 rounds left in the 2010 Monster Energy AMA Supercross series, Rockstar Makita Suzuki rider, Ryan Dungey, has claimed the championship title. This has been his rookie year of racing in the premier 450 class and it has been an unpredictable season for all involved. At the Edward Jones dome in St. Louis this past weekend, Dungey went bar to bar with Ryan Villopoto, each fighting to secure a lead in the race. The two eventually collided sending both riders to the ground.
Villopoto has been Dungey's number one competition throughout this season. Even after the two crashed this weekend, Villopoto was able to fight his way back through the pack into the lead. Unfortunately, he misjudged a triple jump at the end of a tough rhythm section, forcing him to bail off his KX450F midair. As a result he suffered a broken leg and will be unable to finish the rest of the season.
With Villopoto now out of contention for the championship, Dungey is sitting ahead of the group by 77 points. With only 75 points eligible for the remainder of the series, no one else will be able to surpass his lead in the series standings. He now joins, the "King of Supercross" Jeremy McGrath, as the only two riders in the history of the 450 class to win a championship title as a rookie.
The next round of Supercross heads to Seattle on Saturday, April 24th.

The battle between farm organizations and animal activists spark up again with lawsuits recently made against ag-gag laws in Utah and Idaho. USA Today reported Sunday, July 20, that these laws will move from state legislatures to federal courts on a challenge to their constitutional merit.
Ag-gag laws prohibit undercover video recording of what is occurring on farms and animal abuse. Those that do can be punished by law. If caught filming in Idaho, one could get a year in jail and a $5,000 fine. About half the states in the US have attempted to put these laws into place, but only a handful have succeeded.
Farm organizations, livestock producers and those who support these laws said that these laws will protect their homes and businesses. Animal rights activists, free speech activists and others who are against these laws argue that something is being hidden through these laws.
Those who are in support of said laws are taking a different route in terms of fighting back. Instead of lobbying for this issue they can be found on social media sites including Twitter.
"We're going to step up now and figure out how to address the issue within our own community rather than relying on legislation to block information," said Ryan Goodman, spokesman for the Montana Stockgrowers Association. "We do want to be open and transparent with the public and not come across as if were trying to hide something because we're not. We're just trying to protect our own families and businesses."
Those who oppose these laws, can also be found on social media, suggest that the secrecy being protected here may lead to greater animal abuse and even consumer health safety. In 2007, an investigation by the Humane Society of the United States in Chino, California lead to the largest meat recall in U.S. history after an undercover video was leaked of a slaughterhouse's mistreatment of animals.
The lawsuit filed against the Idaho law states that past investigation on farms have found "food safety recalls, citations for environmental and labor violations, evidence of health code violations, plant closures, criminal convictions, and civil litigation."
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Animal Legal Defense Fund are listed as plaintiffs in both lawsuits. In the USA Today article, spokesman for the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Chris Green, said, "There's this pro-whistleblowing sentiment that exists in the U.S. populace. Anything that indicates anti-whistleblowing indicates someone is trying to hide something from the American people and that doesn't bode well."
One main concern regarding undercover filming in what extent the videos have been edited. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey said, "People were essentially creating false narratives and getting on farms and actually not even representing what was happening on those farms. We want to make sure bad stuff isn't happening out there. If somebody is doing something wrong it needs to stop, but some will try and paint the whole industry as those handful of outliers."
The date for the Idaho lawsuit and the Utah trial have not been set. It is speculated that the cases could see a courtroom sometime until next year.

Did you know that the honey bee population has suffered a terrible decline over the past several years? The reason for this is because they have lost much of the floral habitat they depend on. Chemical pesticides have also played a role in the decline of bees. If the honey bee disappeared, we would lose much of our world food supply. Without bees, our gardens and farms would suffer and die off because there would be no pollination to further production.
Bees are a are vital to a healthy ecosystem and play an important role in pollinating many plants. Glistening golden honey bees are a welcome sight to nature conscious gardeners. Being nature's most proficient pollinators, they help increase yields in ones garden. These wonderful little busy workers are extremely beneficial to your fruit, flower and vegetable production.
What Plants Attract Honey Bees?
Native Plants
First and foremost , bees absolutely adore plants that are native to your region. Please do try to incorporate these types of perennials into your gardens and landscaping. Your little buzzy friends will love you for it! Most native plants are relatively easy to grow, as they are already acclimated to their surroundings. You may already have some of these growing in your yard. Yarrow is a prime example of this, as it's typically found in most lawns. If you uproot the yarrow and gather all of the roots and leaves in a big handful, they can be easily planted in an ornamental area of your landscape. I live on a pretty large piece of land, and purposely let some of it grow tall so the bees can feed off of the nectar from
Bright Flowers, Culinary Herbs & Vegetables
Honey bees are naturally attracted to certain kinds of plants because of their colors and scent. Adding a variety of colorful perennials to your garden will attract beneficial insects and unique bird species like hummingbirds.
Tips from Jennifer Davit of Chicago's Lurie Garden:
Plant at least five plants of one variety to attract bees and supply pollen and nectar. If you have only a small space, talk to your neighbors or transform your parkway.
Plant a succession of plants that will flower throughout the seasons — from spring to fall — so honeybees have pollen and nectar over a long period of time.
Add blue and purple flowers, which are particularly attractive to honeybees.
Choose native plants that are preferred by honeybees, because genetically altered cultivars don't produce as much pollen and nectar.
Don't use pesticides. Honeybees are extremely sensitive to any pesticides, so garden in a natural way and refrain from using harsh chemicals. (source link)
List of Plants that Attract Honey Bees:
Caltrop Kallstroemia
Summer Squash, Ornamental Gourds & Pumpkin Blossoms
Star Thistle
We recommend using the highest quality Raw Honey from our favorite apiary, Sleeping Bear Farms.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Who is the next Bachelorette 2013? The Bachelorette 2013 spoilers from RealitySteve for weeks have claimed the new Bachelorette could be Lindsay Yenter. Steve told news several months ago that Lindsay Yenter was purportedly offered the role of the next Bachelorette.
But RealitySteve delivered shocking Bachelorette 2013 updates this week. He claims that Yenter has turned down the role. Lindsay Yenter for reasons still unclear has declined producers' purported offer. But with filming purportedly to start next month, what will happen?
Steve told news this week that he anticipated Yenter to take the role at first. "I've said for a while now that the "Bachelorette" was Lindsay's gig to lose, and although of course they were considering others like Desiree and AshLee, all signs since November have been pointing to Lindsay being the next "Bachelorette." "
So what exactly changed? "Not anymore. I've got it on pretty good authority that Lindsay will NOT be the next "Bachelorette." " For now, the future of the Bachelorette, while just a month away, remains uncertain. "So I guess the race is wide open now, since honestly, I don't know who it is at this point."
Steve admits he has some predictions about possible casting. "Your candidates are obviously Desiree, AshLee, Lesley, and Sarah, but I think Lesley and Sarah are waaaaay long shots. I don't see that happening." He adds "My guess would be Desiree based on fan reaction so far of the remaining girls. However, I was pretty certain it was gonna be Lindsay for a while now, and I'm very confident that it's not."

Samsung announces two times faster next gen SDRAM coming to a smartphone near you this year
In the current smartphone battles, especially in the Android world, in the spec list comparison competitions, it's often the processors that manage to attract all the attention with their cores and such. But RAM is an equally important component of a modern smartphone, one that you only truly appreciate once you try using an Android device from yesteryear sporting just 256 MB of it.
Sure, today 1 GB seems more than enough for a smartphone (perhaps not for a tablet though), but what about tomorrow? Tomorrow when, for example, your favorite phone maker will decide to add new RAM-intensive features to its UI overlay atop Android (cough, HTC, cough)… Well, you'll need new and faster RAM. And possibly more of it too.
That's where Samsung steps in. The Korean company has just announced that it has developed LP (Low Power) DDR3, which is expected to become the de facto next generation low power consumption DRAM. LPDDR2 is what's currently in our top of the line smartphones.
LPDDR3 is twice as fast as that, and it does it all with the exact same power consumption. It's also backward compatible with LPDDR2. Samsung showed a 4 Gb (which amounts to approximately 512 MB) LPDDR3 module at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, but we're assuming that bigger capacity chips are in the works too.
This LPDDR3 will be in smartphones later this year, Samsung claims. So 2012 looks like it's going to be the year of the quad-core smartphone processor as well as the twice-as-fast smartphone RAM. Anyone want to venture a guess as to what 2013 will bring us?
Via Tech-On!

Needs more info.
Hallowed armour is already made from the three lesser Hardmode armours.
I don't see how this can be reinforced further.
Edit: After a few moments of thinking, I thought of a way this could be implimented.
In order for this to work, You need three sets of Hallowed armour, One of Ranged, Mage, and Melee.

The California Marijuana Legalization Initiative will be on the November 2 ballots this year. It basically says that if passed, it will be legal for any persons over the age of 21 to grow, carry and use marijuana for their own personal use (i.e. recreation). It will no longer be a crime to engage in the seminal rite of passage that is mandated for American teenagers and young adults. It will be treated like underage drinking, as long as no one gets hurt; no harm, no foul, all harmless fun, all part of growing up.
Aside from the thorny issue of pot growers and users violating federal law-as it is still considered illegal by the federal government, is it wise for the state of California to only see dollar signs when considering this initiative? The road to hell is paved with good intentions, the possibility of too many unintended consequences of this initiative cannot be overlooked or brushed off. Yes, the potential tax revenues that can be gotten from legalizing marijuana is eye watering and many view it as the silver bullet that will cure the state's financial crisis. Besides from curing the state of its current crisis, it is seen as guarantee that another crisis won't likely occur again if the state can continue to collect tax revenue from marijuana sales-it's like an insurance policy that will never run out. However, does the state, or any government, at the official level really want to condone total decriminalization of marijuana use and allow the youth (and possibly some adults) of California to look like an episode out of "The 70's Show"? Many supporter's argue that alcohol and tobacco are legal substances for which consumers are charged a surtax should they wish to consume these products and now marijuana will join that list.
Another argument, and even some retired judges support this, is if marijuana is legalized, the drug war in in Mexico will subside, since the US is the largest drug consumer in the world. But legalization of marijuana will need to happen both ways, if the US legalizes marijuana, Mexico will have to legalize marijuana. Second, the only way and the only reason the drug war could be fought in Mexico right now is because 90% of the weapons used by the drug cartels come from the United States. Unlike the US, It is not legal for Mexican citizens to purchase and carry guns for their own protection, only law enforcement and the army can carry guns. So, in order to make a dent in the drug wars south of the border, two things need to happen simultaneously, Mexico needs to legalize gun ownership for all citizens and legalize marijuana at the same time California does. The chances of those two things happening are slim to none. President Fellipe Calderon's legacy may be his declaration of war on drug cartels-or at least he would like to believe that to be his legacy, but whether he likes it or not, the sale of drugs (unofficially) reigns on top when it comes to their GDP revenue, before oil revenues and tourism.
Most health care professional agree that tobacco is the the most poisonous substance to ever exist, and as addictive and deadly for the long term health of regular tobacco users, it is not a mind altering substance. Smoking tobacco does not allow you to become impaired in certain capacities or contribute to or accelerate other mental health conditions. Besides the farcical and stereotypical side effects of long term marijuana use, i.e., chronic laziness, chronically underemployed or unemployed, having foggy eyes and believing that peace on earth is achieved, there are other serious health risks that are often overlooked. Many studies have shown that long term marijuana use-especially the more potent form marijuana called "skunk" can cause psychosis in some patients who are predisposed to mental illnesses-usually people who are a genetic risk. Some addiction experts also believe that marijuana users will graduate to more potent dangerous drugs such as cocaine or heroin once the high of marijuana is no longer enough for them. Many people who are chronic drug addicts, such as former child actor Corey Haim, the first drug he ever tried was marijuana, shortly before he died, he described himself as a chronic relapser. Dr. Drew Pinsky, an acclaimed and renowned addiction specialist based in Pasadena, Ca, has the following to say about marijuana use:
"The syndrome of marijuana addiction is always the same: A profound euphoria is experienced, usually after the second or third exposure to it, and from that moment on the addict pursues, preoccupies, or uses that drug every day. Somewhere down the line, the addict gets depressed, has trouble sleeping and being motivated. Of course, the addict's response is to smoke more or better pot to deal with "the stress," which only accelerates the decline into depression."
No one can argue that alcohol is a 'safe' substance or a non-mind altering substance, everyone knows the consequences of alcohol intoxication. It's not cute nor pretty and sometimes deadly. But medical experts and law enforcement know enough about alcohol usage and the effects of alcohol abuse to know how to deal with alcohol intoxication incidents. There are standardized breathilizer tests that can be administered on site, a legal blood alcohol limit has been established and the laws are already designed to punish DUI offenders in varying degrees. Many jobs don't allow people to drink on the job and if people are found to be drinking on the job, they know that there are severe consequences sometimes resulting in immediate termination. In other words, people are already socialized or have trained themselves on when it is appropriate to use alcohol and more importantly, the consequences that result from drinking at inappropriate times and places.
With the current cavalier and nonchalant attitude towards smoking cannabis, legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes will only exacerbate that attitude; especially when law enforcement has not yet determined how to measure cannabis intoxication and how to punish someone under the influence of cannabis. It is because of the severe financial, social and legal consequences of inappropriate inebriation that has reigned in the attitudes of people when it comes to drinking. The "martini lunches" featured on the hit TV show "Mad Men" no longer applies today because if people return to the office reeking of alcohol, it will not be looked upon favorably. And contrary to common perception, everyone does NOT smoke pot as a rite of passage to adulthood. There are plenty of people who have reached adulthood unscathed through many other vices and follies without ever feeling the need to smoke marijuana.
Finally, did the supporters of this initiative consider the costs that might be incurred if marijuana is legalized for recreational use? Companies might have to administer drug tests on a regular random basis to make sure their employees are not high while they are working. What about the lawsuits that could be filed, if someone makes a grievous error while under the influence of marijuana and it's not just confined to medical or legal arena but across all industries. Do we want our airline pilots to fly an airplane after they've smoked a joint? As consumers, do we have the right to know if the people serving us have been using marijuana. What if one employee causes injury or harm to another employee because he or she was under the influence of marijuana? What about school teachers? Since it will be legal to buy marijuana as long as you are over the age of 21, can teachers be fired if they were found to be smoking pot before they arrive to teach their first lesson in the morning? What kind of message does that send to the children-when their teacher rolls into class in the morning after smoking a joint? Attention to California Teacher's Association: any objections to this initiative, since this law, if passed, directly affect the pupils you claim to care so much about? There are potentially so many unfavorable scenarios-the unintended consequences that could occur should this initiative pass without all the law enforcement tools in place.
It's not that legalizing marijuana is a fundamentally bad idea. Controlling who and where to buy this substance is much better than going to dealer on the street corner. And a good argument could also be made that incarcerating non-violent marijuana users is poor jurisprudence but before California jumps head first into unchartered territory, all the possible consequences-good and bad need to be thoroughly examined before they send it to the ballots. Once it passes with the voters, only the voters can repeal the initiative, California legislature cannot repeal a law that was initiated by the voters. Even with the current dire financial situation in Sacramento, voters and the state legislative body still needs to exercise caution and good judgement before they gather signatures and send initiatives to the ballot.

I have always adored all things in the South. From southern magnolias to sitting on the front porch in white Rocking chairs sipping iced tea, I cannot imagine living anywhere else. My husband is a southern gentleman with a thick southern accent that melts me every time! Thank goodness our boys take after him! I wanted Hudson's 2nd birthday celebration to represent our lifesyle & his roots. Hudson is my little southern gentleman. He loves sweet tea, barbecue, watermelon, country music, and all things in the dirt! He even has his Daddy's irresistible southern drawl & charm. "Ain't Nothin' in the World like a Southern Boy" was the perfect theme to celebrate his 2nd birthday celebration!
We threw a godd ole' fashioned backyard barbecue with kids playing in the spirnkler, swinging, and playing in their clubhouse. We served pulled pok barbecue, watermelon, strawberries, southern style potato salad, and slaw. Desserts included cake & cupcakes, Moon Pies, apple pie, banana pudding, and Grandma's homemade sugar cookies. The biggest hit of the party was the "Sweeter in the South" drink cart serving, sweet tea, lemonade, and Cheerwine (cheery cola only sold in the Carolina's).
Southern boys all love to go fishing! For the party favors, we had the kids decorate fishing tackle boxes and fill them with bobbers & bait.

I bought The Mat for my very first try with fondant and it was amazing.
The fondant was perfect on the 8-inch round cake, no bubbles, no ruffles, no ridges. The Mat is a must for anyone working with fondant, amateur or professional. Why complicate matters when there's such a simple, fool-proof tool! I am a self-taught lifelong hobbyist but I strive for professional-level results and I am glad I bought The Mat for my first time working with fondant.
