UPDATE #2: Check out MORE PHOTOS from the shoot at EW.com.
UPDATE #3: Thanks to EW for passing along a bigger version of the cover! View in Gallery.
Thanks to the eagle-eyed @epnebelle in NYC, we have our first look at Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder on the cover of the February 17th edition of Entertainment Weekly. And yes, it is absolutely real. Details are scant as of right now, but we expect EW will have more soon now that the cat's out of the bag, including a nice clean version of the cover. The cover implies there will be three different versions available (we're speculating possibly one of the three, one of Nina and Ian and one of Paul and Nina, but that's just speculation) and should be hitting newsstands any day now. Watch this space for more details as we get them!
UPDATE: Entertainment Weekly has posted ALL THREE special covers – and holy crap, y'all. As we speculated, the other two covers are Ian/Nina and Nina/Paul. They've also posted a teaser of the feature article.
This week's EW cover story also features interviews with Vampire's stars — Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley — who talk about keeping the love triangle red-hot, where they fall in the Stelena-Delena shipper wars, and all rumors swirling around their real-life relationships.
In the meantime, VIEW THE COVER HERE. If that link is down, try here.
HUGE congrats to the cast/crew of Vampire Diaries!

We mentioned Nina Dobrev's feature in the February issue of CBS Watch! Magazine last month (and tweeted a photo of the spread on Twitter), but looks like Watch! has finally added the profile – titled The Dobrev Diaries – to their website. You may still find the issue (with The Good Wife's Matt Czuchry and Archie Panjabi on the cover) on your local newsstand.
It's called "having a moment." The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev arrived at the red carpet of the 63rd Emmy Awards on Sept. 18 and stood serenely before the wall of photographers, her crimson strapless gown—all dangerous curves and soft flounces—a jaw- dropper, hair and makeup impeccable. Just like that, a new It girl was born, and the 22-year-old actress's life would never be the same.
And Ian Somerhalder is featured on the cover of Status Magazine's February issue (Status being "Asia's youth culture magazine"). You can read the feature on him at StatusMagOnline.
As a little kid, Ian already had the glib and gab of a vampire. "I remember, I was so young, I had an imaginary friend named Ian whom my poor family had to deal with probably by a year," Ian recalls. "Ian liked everything I liked so I asked my mom for this whole pack of gum and then she found me an hour later with my mouth full of it. And my mom said, 'Wait a minute, Ian. I thought some was for Ian, too.' And I said, 'Nope, nope. Ian doesn't like this kind.' [laughs] So I used to do things like that. It just kinda made my mom realize that I was meant to be an actor."

You can find Nina Dobrev gracing the cover of NYLON's February 2012 issue and the mag has included snippets from the feature on their website, as well as outtakes from the cover shoot. Thanks to PopSugar for the peek at the cover!
On doing more films
"I want to become a different person, and that's what working in film allows. I want to be a punk or a sweetheart or a drug addict! There are so many things to explore… Sometimes they'll be like, 'She's not plain enough.' Or 'She's not edgy enough.' That frustrates me. I feel like a blank canvas, and I wish people would be a little more open-minded."
We tweeted a glimpse from our Twitter the other night but be sure to pick up the February 2012 issue of CBS's Watch! magazine (Matt Czuchry and Archie Panjabi of The Good Wife on the cover) for a nice fold-out feature on Nina entitled The Dobrev Diaries.
And Seventeen has an interview with Nina about how she celebrated her birthday this year, "Vampire Diaries memories," and what we can expect on the show very soon:
17: Can you tell us about the new episodes at the end of the month?
ND: There's a ball coming up in Mystic Falls and all the main players are invited. They don't know what to expect because there's a lot of tension and being at this party feels like it's a ticking time bomb. Everyone is on guard waiting for it to go off. There's drama on and off the dance floor — some of the characters connect, for better or for worse. And the last thing I can say is that there are some pretty pivotal things that are said and cannot be taken back. It will come as a huge surprise for the audience!

Hardly Magazine spoke with Steven R. McQueen recently and the actor shared some of his favorite music, talked about shooting in Vancouver, and a little about leaving Jeremy on set at the end of the day. The actor also asserts that he's happy to still be on Team Human.
"I enjoy playing a human in this fantasy world," says McQueen who is happy not to see Jeremy become a vampire, werewolf, or hybrid (part vampire/part werewolf).
In addition to the article, there are some beautiful pictures by photographer Yunice Kang, you can see them all here.

L.A. Times reporter Amy Kaufman caught up with Ian Somerhalder on last night's 2011 Teen Choice Awards red carpet. Somewhere in here, Justin Bieber happens. Ian seems incredulous about people actually watching The Vampire Diaries (and very grateful), dances around some Season 3 hints, and touches on being an actor actively involved with charities/causes.

Operator: Welcome to the Aflac's Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call. Your lines have been placed on listen-only until the question-and-answer session. Please be advised, today's conference is being recorded.
I would now like to turn the conference over to, Ms. Robin Wilkey, Senior Vice President of Aflac Investor and Rating Agency Relations. Ma'am, you may begin.
Robin Y. Wilkey - SVP IR: Thank you. Good morning and welcome to our fourth quarter call. Joining me this morning is Dan Amos, Chairman and CEO; Kriss Cloninger, President and CFO; Paul Amos, President of Aflac and COO of U.S. Operations; Ken Janke, Executive Vice President and Deputy CFO; Eric Kirsch, Executive Vice President and Global Chief Investment Officer; Tohru Tonoike, President and COO of Aflac Japan who is joining us from Tokyo.
Before we start, let me remind you that some statements in this teleconference are forward-looking within the meaning of federal securities laws. Although we believe these statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that they will prove to be accurate because they are prospective in nature. Actual results could differ materially from those we discuss today. We encourage you to look at our quarterly release for some of the various risk factors that could materially impact our results.
Now, I'll turn the program over to Dan, who'll begin this morning with some comments about the quarter and year as well as our operations in Japan and United States. I will then follow-up with a few highlights for the quarter and the year, and then will be glad to take your questions. Dan?
Daniel P. Amos - Chairman and CEO: Thank you, Robin. Good morning and thank you for joining us. The final quarter of 2012 concluded another great year for Aflac. Let me start in more detail about the accomplishments in 2012 and our outlook for 2013. Beginning with Aflac Japan, our largest earnings contributor. Following five straight quarters of recording breaking production, Aflac Japan's new annualized premium sales in the fourth quarter were up slightly. Sales were JPY49.3 billion, an increase of 1.5% over the fourth quarter of 2011. For the third consecutive year Aflac Japan generated record sales results. Our full year sales results rose 30.8% to JPY210.6 billion.
You'll recall that in the third quarter, we said that Aflac Japan sales would be challenging for the remainder of the year, and that's exactly what we saw. Three primary factors affected our results, two of which we discussed in the third quarter. The first and foremost factor was difficult comparisons to a year ago, which primarily reflected our expansion into the bank channel. Bank distribution has been a great benefit to us because about 70% of the bank customers are new to Aflac. However, after selling through the banks for over last several years, we've already cycled through the first major pass at selling products to a large portion of the bank customers, particularly our higher premium WAYS product.
Second, you'll recall, we expected that the consumers' interest in WAYS would decline in the fourth quarter as we lower the rate for the discount advance premium from 1% to 0.5% in October. We believe the impact from the lower DAP which was essentially a premium increase was much larger than we originally anticipated.

Guy Goodwin @ Brennan & Griffin
Link to post: http://www.thoughtsthatcureradically.com/2012/03/guy-goodwin-recent-works-brennan.html
Mar 17
Caleb De Jong reviews the exhibition Guy Goodwin: Recent Works at Brennan & Griffin, New York, on view through April 8, 2012.
De Jong writes that "Goodwin's paintings manage to have an old fashioned presence in spite of their seemingly fragile surfaces. 2-2-3-3 INTERIOR, from 2011, for instance, is painted in simple and declarative primary blues, yellows, purples and browns. In photographs the surface resembles soft felt while in person the layered cardboard is crude and awkward, but also satisfying and direct."

NCAA Gymnastics Championship Central
Q: We're just one day away from the start of the NCAA Championships. Is there any preparation left to be totally ready for team prelims on Friday?
A: I think, especially for our team, we just have to get our mental game fully on. We're prepared with our skills, our endurance, and our team is ready. We just need to bring our mental game to the competition and I think we'll be fine:
Q: This will be the first NCAA Championship in Pauley Pavilion since it re-opened in November. Will that bring anything special to this meet?
A: We love competing in Pauley, especially the New Pauley. It's amazing and such a nice arena. For it to be the National Championship, we already have adrenaline and excitement for it to be nationals but to have it held in Pauley in front of our home crowd and a lot of our friends and fans it makes it that much more exciting. Everybody is really, really excited for that part.
Q: This is a very young Bruins team, and it is light on big-meet experience. You are one of the few with big-meet experience. What can you do to help your younger teammates excel this weekend?
A: I can just help them if they have any questions. I'll just keep building their confidence and make sure they are ready to compete and they look good. I can help them if they get nervous and make sure they have fun. I know they're ready in all the other aspects, so if they get nervous I hope they come to me and I can help calm them down.
Q: Do you feel like you are ready to compete this weekend?
A: Oh yeah, I'm definitely ready. We always kid around that this (the next meet) is the meet we've been training for our whole lives, but this whole season, this is the meet that we've been training for. I am 100% ready and I promise to bring my mental game and physical game to this competition with no regrets. I don't want to hold anything back.
Q: UCLA finished second at the Pac-12 Championship and again at NCAA Regionals. Do those runner-up finishes provide any extra motivation for this week's Championship?
A: It actually did motivate a lot of us. We had a meeting after Regionals and we were saying that we are sick and tired of coming in second. We came in second at Pac-12's, we came in second at Regionals. It's time for us to get the No. 1 spot. We don't just want to go into this meet hoping that we're going to make top-3 (and advance to Super Six). We want to go in knowing that we're going to be top-3 so we're aiming for the No. 1 spot.
Q: What's your favorite event. Not necessarily your best event, but your favorite?
A: When I'm competing, it's floor. I love the choreography that we get, and I love to be able to dance and perform. I feel like one of my strengths is tumbling and being able to combine all of those elements, it's really awesome. The team really gets into everyone's floor routine so it's a lot of fun
Q: So if floor is your favorite to compete, is there a different favorite in the practice gym?
A: I do like to practice floor, especially learning new things because I think it's really fun, but I love to practice vault. There are so many different parts that I can focus on and try to improve. It's not just going for a big vault. You have to think of your run-up, your approach onto the table and all those different aspects. I really like practicing vault because it really stimulates my mental game.
Q: College is the one segment of gymnastics that has a strong team element. Was that a big transition for you?
A: Since coming to UCLA it's really been instilled that it is all about the team. Coming in as a freshman you're like `yeah, it's a team sport' but you still have the mentality of being an individual. You think `oh, if I do my job we'll be fine.' But now, as a junior, I feel it's not just about you. You have to help your team because you want them to get better too. In the end, you want to win a national championship with them. Individual awards are nice, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't have the team title as a whole.
Q: What motivated you to go 3,000 miles away from home (Fairfax, Va.) for college?
A: When I was younger, I always said I wanted to go to UCLA. When I was probably 10 I'd say that. I never knew why, but I always had something inside of me that said I wanted to go to UCLA. When I started doing research about UCLA, I just loved the school itself. I love how diverse it is. I don't see how it gets better than being in California and Los Angeles. I've traveled a lot and I just really love it. Then meeting the coaching staff and the team and seeing how much fun they have in practice, it just felt genuine and natural to me. Nothing felt fake or forced. I really fell in love with it and decided that I really did have the right mindset when I was 10. And this is the school where I need to be.
Q: Was it hard on your family that you went so far away for college?
A: It was tough, especially my freshman year, because it was so far. I'm used to traveling a lot. I came from National Team and we would leave the country for a week or a month at a time, so I wasn't worried about me getting homesick but my mom struggled because she's not able to see me a lot. Freshman year, she actually came out to a lot of meets. She came to all of our home meets and almost all of our away meets, but I think it's getting easier for her, and she hasn't come to as many meets.
Q: Do you have family coming this weekend?
A: My mom and grandmother and a few family friends.
Q: You have been described as the "rock" of the UCLA team, and you have hit all 40 of your routines this season. What does it mean to you to have earned that reliable reputation?
A: I love knowing that people rely on me like that. I'm not the person that loves the attention and wants to be on spotlight. I'm totally OK with being in the background but knowing that people respect me and they know they can count on me. That's motivating and rewarding in itself. I know that my teammates appreciate me and they know they can count on me. That makes it worth it.
Q: Has your UCLA experience been everything you hoped it would be?
A: Oh yeah. I love it here, and I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else. We travel a lot to other schools, and they are nice and we have fun, but I couldn't see myself anywhere else. I just adore UCLA
Q: Is there anything specific that you are looking forward to this weekend?
A: I'm looking forward to enjoying each day and the experiences that are going to happen. I think the moment that we walk into Pauley and see how it's set up and seeing the gym on podium and seeing the crowd is going to be such a good feeling. I'm really excited to get that moment when we walk in. I think it's going to be great!

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; December 1821; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18211200-TC-MAC-01; CL 1:401-402.
Edinr, Wednesday-Evening [? December 1821].
My dear Mother,
I have but a few minutes to give you at present; but here is a little Sovereign, which I got a while ago, and must write three words along with, ere I send it you. It is to keep the Fiend out of your Housewife (Huzzy)1 in these hard times, and to get little odds and ends with in due time. If I were beside you, I should have to encounter no little molestation, before I could prevail upon you to accept this most small matter: but being at the safe distance of 70 miles, I fear it not. You would tell me I am poor & have so few myself of those coins. But I am going to have plenty by and by: and if I had but one, I c[an]not see how I could purchase more enjoyment with it, than if I shared it with you. Be not in want of any thing, I entreat you, that I can possibly get for you. It would be hard indeed, if in the Autumn of a life, the spring and summer of which you have spent well, in taking care of us, we should know what could add to your frugal enjoyments, and not procure it. Ask me, ask me for something.
I am very busy at present, as Alick will tell you; and therefore moderately happy. If health were added— But there is always some if. In fact I ought not to complain, even on this latter score. I think I am at least where I was, when you saw me: perhaps better on the whole; and I hope frosty weather is coming, which will make me better still. The other day I saw one of my constant walks last Summer; and I could not help accusing myself of ingratitude to the Giver of all good, for the great recovery I have experienced, since then.
I intend to labour as hard as possible throughout the winter, finding nothing to be so useful for me every way. I shall make occasional excursions into the country, by way of relaxation. I think of going to Kirk[c]aldy (whither I am bidden) for a day or two about Christmas: and I have a standing invitation, from a very excellent Mrs Welsh, to go to Haddington, often, as if I were going home.2 This is very pleasant, as Habank said.3
My Father is to write me next time: and what hinders Mag and M[ary] and James the Ploughman? I shall [be] very angry with them, if they keep such silence. Tell them so, one and all. My love to Jean and Jenny: they cannot write, or they would. I long to hear of your own welfare, My dear Mother, particularly of your health, which costs me many a thought. I am always, Your affectionate Son,
Thos Carlyle

Stop Making Career Excuses
by Deborah Brown-Volkman - Feb, 2012
Are you having a tough time in your career? If the answer is yes, know that you are not alone. Things are tough for most people. There are fewer jobs and more work for those that are employed. Workers are over-utilized and stretching themselves thin. It's a bit crazy out there. Many people I talk to are tired and stressed out. Not ideal conditions to do your best. But sometimes you have to ask yourself, "What is really...

What are Your Valuable Core Competencies?
by Georgia Adamson - Feb, 2012
Those of us who write resumes often like to use the concept of core competencies–possibly as a keyword-rich section of its own, maybe woven into the thread of the resume through concrete examples of the competencies, or in numerous other ways. I've certainly done this with my clients' resumes many times over the years, and I thought I was pretty conversant with what the concept involved. That was before I got curious and start...

Top Trending Videos of The Week: Bikini Models at Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach and Men's Underwear Stars from AussieBum
Is it summer yet? You may think so from all the bikini runways and underwear photoshoots FashionTV has showcased as of late, but alas, it's not 100 degree weather just yet.
That is, unless you're in Miami for the totally smokin' Funkshion Fashion Week Miami Beach, a four day long event presenting the best of established and emerging designers who want to show us their best swimwear to the tune of the hottest DJs.
If Miami doesn't do it for you, maybe a hot, rocky landscape does. For the AussieBum men's underwear photo shoot highlighting the Starr range, the crew picks an area that one member says reminds him of Australia. All the heat is forgotten once the male model takes off his shirt.
Besides its showcase of sexy swimwear and striptease, FashionTV is also all over the world bringing you the scoop from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia where the gorgeous model Maria Mogsolova gives us an exclusive look at the shows she's walking in and ModaLisboa, where the best of Portugal's top designers come out to play.
Top it off with a Rose Ball in Monaco with the royal family and Karl Lagerfeld and an exclusive photo shoot featuring Polish model Anja Rubik's newest accessories for shoe guru Giuseppe Zanotti and you've got FashionTV's amazing and eclectic lineup of the top trending videos of the week!

The Battered Women's Shelter of Summit and Medina Counties is currently seeking volunteers to join their mission against domestic violence. The agency provides emergency shelters for men, women, and children who are victims of domestic violence and find themselves homeless and in need of immediate help.
The agency helps survivors get back on their feet by giving them the skills they need to find a job, an apartment, and provide helps for child-rearing.
The shelter also provides advocacy and education for victims of abuse.
Training is beginning soon. They are having a six day, hands-on interactive training. Upcoming classes are on July 26, 27, 28 and August 2, 3, 4. They will also be holding training November 1-3 and 8-10.
The classes will be held nightly from 5:30-8:30.
Recent studies suggest that family violence is holding steady in Summit and Medina Counties. Each year in Summit County, there are 1800-2600 children who are abused or neglected. There are 5,169 reports of abuse or neglect filed with children's services and 2,150 children are actually placed in custody.
Up to fifty-five hundred adults are physically abused by a current or former intimate partner. Twelve hundred people are arrested for intimate partner violence and eight-hundred and sixteen people have filed petitions for civil protection orders. Two-hundred-eighty-six adults seek shelter in domestic violence shelters in the county.
If interested in volunteering contact Brittney Humphrey, Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator at 330-374-0740 x 206 or contact her at email@example.com.
All applicants are subject to interview ad background checks. Please visit the shelter's website.

Letter from New York, 10-11: Dancetomorrow
Futur-o-scope from Dancenow/nyc
By Alison D'Amato
Copyright 2007 Alison D'Amato
NEW YORK -- The UpClose program of the Dancenow/nyc festival at Dance Theater Workshop
began, on the afternoon of Saturday, September 8, with a machine. It
was small, sat on a podium, and featured a slim silver rod poking up
toward the ceiling of the studio. A young woman came out and
approached it cautiously. As she adjusted the position of the podium,
she looked at us, smiled sheepishly, and delivered the assurance:
"This isn't part of it." Fair enough.
"It" was part of a shared bill of ten short works, all duets and solos,
beginning with this piece, "An Ten Eye," choreographed by Christine
Doempke. Doempke was listed as a performer, along with Jeff Prout,
although nobody else appeared. Maybe Jeff Prout is the name of the
machine (the an-ten-eye)? The little rod ended up being at the heart
and soul of the work, which was a short sketch that gestured at the
potential of motion-sensitive, sound-generating devices. As Doempke
moved, the rod responded with noise. Although I have no idea what
formula controlled their correlation, she imbued the relationship with
comedy and warmth. Her emotive, reacting face lent the interaction
some drama, if only for the few moments that it was developed.
Of all the ten short works on view, more than enough relied on female
bodies that seemed to be manipulated, compelled or controlled by
forces outside of themselves. That kinetic theme is not unfamiliar,
but I was struck by it here because it played itself out almost
pathologically -- in different ways, under the guise of different
themes -- over the course of this packed program. Into that category
squarely fell the next piece, "The Hypocrisy of Celebrity Profiles," a
collaboration between Adam Scher and Kate Atherton. A lifeless,
mannequin-like woman (Atherton) primped and prepped herself for a big night.
An equally plastic, yet somehow slightly more self-possessed and
autonomous, boyfriend/handler (Scher) entered and lifted her up by the
breasts. He struggled, literally, to keep her engaged, instigating a
violent, crashing pas de deux while his partner alternately drooped
lifelessly and looked vaguely like she wouldn't mind escaping his
grip. I get the humor of the piece, and I also get that it's a
commentary on the abrasive falsity of celebrity culture, but a part of
me wonders if this commentary faces the risk of becoming no more than
an unconscious reiteration of the actual thing.
In "This Connected," a work choreographed by Emily Harper, a television
set was wheeled into the space. The TV seemed to channel surf on its
own, skimming from commercial to commercial at an increasingly rapid
pace. Two dancers entered with cell phones; they appeared to be
text messaging. At some point their attention was drawn to the flash of the
TV and they stopped with their backs to us, staring. One of the
dancers began to move around the TV and got rid of her cell phone. She
was suddenly and inexplicably liberated, and spent the remainder of
the piece trying to get her partner's attention away from one or the
other of the fetishized devices. Clearly, this was a piece about
trying to "connect." It was about -- literally -- choosing the virtual
over the real. The movement material, though, was ambiguous and hung
lifelessly on the theme of unhealthy fixation. The shred of narrative
was not enough to give us any sense of what agency (i.e. physical
actions deriving from a real live human being's desires and impulses)
might look like up against the force of mechanization.
Things lightened up a little after this. Ashley Browne performed a
breezy, lyrical solo accompanied by a recorded Aretha Franklin song,
and Justina Gaddy presented "Mr. Woman," a quirky duet for a
cross-dressing guy and girl team. Gaddy's performers were clearly
having fun, and although the gender bending was superficial and didn't
really do anything to enhance my experience of the work, the movement
choices were complex and unexpected. Live accompaniment by the group
ICELU was a bonus. Kim Goldman and Stephanie Oakes choreographed and
performed in "Terrain," a stately work that made liberal use of unison.
Cory Nakasue delivered a fraught solo for the talented Kristen Revier
in which her Revier's heart (a paper cutout, hid in her bodice) ended
up -- literally -- broken. In "Little Wonder," Kelly Hayes bounded around
to the David Bowie song of the same title.
Two remaining works stood out: "Furies are Circuitous," by Jillian
Sweeney with Tara O'Con, and "Hands/Self-Portraits," by Yo-el Cassell.
These works seemed to sit in a different register in part, I think,
because they didn't point outside themselves to generate meaning.
Sweeney's work was charming without being insubstantial, and the logic
she developed using a series of movement events was coherent without
being derivative. O'Con in particular used her eyes as much as any
other part of the body, and this gave us a sense of considered
embodiment, the projection of a commanding persona behind the
architecture of the movement. Cassell's solo work was by turns
meditative and strenuous, yet the true dynamism of the piece was his
own utter absorption into the evocation of a personal, inner landscape.

Welcome to year four of Wrestler of the Week. Much like the previous three years this will continue to be a little way to highlight an individual (or tag team as the case may be) that had a particularly banner week in terms of storyline or on-air achievement. Just like in previous years, in addition to highlighting a Wrestler of Week, two honorable mentions will also be noted. Throughout the year point totals will be tallied. Just like in year three, each week 10 points will go to the actual Wrestler of the Week, 5 points going to the first Honorable Mention and 3 going to the second Honorable Mention. At the end of the year a Wrestler of the Year will be crowned.
Wrestler of the Week
This past weekend, CHIKARA returned after year plus long absence. They returned in spectacular fashion with Sunday night's You Only Live Twice iPPV. In the night's main event, Icarus defeated Eddie Kingston to become CHIKARA's second ever Grand Champion. Icarus went from one of the most hated wrestlers in CHIKARA's history to its new face with this victory.
Honorable Mention
Kyle O'Reilly
The independent wrestling standout had another banner week. On May 23, he defeated his former tag team partner Adam Cole to win the PWG Heavyweight Championship in a Knockouts or Submissions Match. O'Reilly is now the new face of PWG, in addition to one half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions.
For the second week in row, Alicia Fox got a chance to shine on WWE TV. She defeated WWE Divas Champion Paige in a non-title match on Monday Night RAW. It was easily her most high profile win in years. Then post-match she orchestrated a wild victory celebration that included stealing Jerry "The King" Lawler's crown and pouring soda all over herself.

Flow freely from park jumps to pow stashes.
The Burton Antler Flying V Snowboard delivers futuristic shred performance that's ready to turn the mountain into one giant terrain park. Borrowing tech from Burton's prestigious Custom X, the Antler fuses high-end technologies into a directional twin shape for the very best in all-mountain freestyle performance. However, unlike the Custom X, you'll find the Antler's personality much more buttery and playful thanks to its medium-soft flex and scooped tip and tail, which help you lock into presses and float through fresh powder more effortlessly.
With Burton's Flying V profile, you'll find rocker between the bindings for added playfulness and unreal float in powder. There are cambered sections under the binding zones to increase power and edge control when you're carving, also giving the board a spring-loaded feel for popping ollies. After the cambered sections, the board once again blends to rocker before the tip and tail contacts. For many riders, this rocker/camber hybrid represents the very best in both loose, catch-free riding and ample response needed to charge the entire mountain, making the Antler excel on any terrain.
Inside the guts of this all-terrain weapon, you'll find Burton's high-end Dragonfly core that's composed of over 500 independent laminations for an incredible weight savings. This core is designed with a new Squeezebox High core profile, essentially giving you thinner zones under the bindings for easier turn manipulation and higher levels of control. You'll also appreciate the board's 60º Carbon Highlights Hi-Voltage, which integrate carbon strands into the fiberglass lay-up for a lively torsional feel. Rounding out the board's impressive list of tech, Burton added their Dual Guard Rails into the Antler's sidewalls to lessen impacts from rails and freestyle riding. These dual-density sidewalls add dampening and absorb heavy landings for a smoother overall ride.

Plum Crumbles
Kim Maes
Recipe type:
4 Medium Sized Red or Black Plums, just barely ripe
4 teaspoons All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend
1 Tablespoon Coconut Palm Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil – measured, for this purpose only, in solid form – **See Note below
½ cup Certified Gluten Free Rolled Oats (or equal amounts Quinoa Flakes if you are sensitive to Oats)
¼ cup Almond flour (For NUT FREE: use additional ¼ cup of your gluten free flour blend instead)
¼ cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour blend
1 – 2 Tablespoons ground Chia seeds, or Flax meal (optional, but nice addition of Omega 3?s)
⅓ cup Palm sugar
2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Celtic Sea Salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease four 6-ounce Ramekins.
In small bowl, mix together filling ingredients: Plums, 4 tsp Flour Blend, Coconut Palm Sugar, Cinnamon, and Vanilla. Divide evenly between your ramekins.
In another bowl add your chilled Coconut oil, Certified Gluten Free Oats, Almond flour, ¼ cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, Ground Chia or Flax Meal (if using), Coconut Palm Sugar, and Sea Salt. Use a pastry blender (or a fork) to crumble/cream your ingredients together until coarse meal forms.
Divide topping evenly among each ramekin. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 25 minutes (filling may bubble over – you can line baking sheet with foil for easy clean up, if desired). If you like a crispy top, you can turn the broiler on for 2-3 minutes at the very end, but watch VERY carefully if you do this so it does not burn!
Measurements for Coconut Oil should typically, in most baking recipes, be measured in liquid form for the correct volume measurement.

Special Brew
I am currently starting a metal(at least I think its metal) band, and we don't really have a singer, we are looking for someone that can sing and scream well. Well I can't possibly sing since I play guitar and with the stuff we play I won't have time to sing, so I have been designated back-up vocals and noone has ever heard me attempt to song. :( Well basicaly whenever we get the singer, during his singer parts I am supposed to sccream really deep, which i guess would be more of a growl, and I would personally like to be able to do the high pitched screams as well. Our music is more in the style of opeth and my vocals would be similar to the slow, long growls that they do. How would I practice growling and what can I do to get my voice right. As of yet I dont think I sound good at all... what should I do to get better?

The air in the house is cold and dark and quiet at 6 in the morning. Without fail these days, I wake to the feeling of Madeleine trampling over my legs to crawl into the swirling warmth of the bed, nestled between me and her father. "Cuddle," she demands as she burrows under the blankets, curling her body into a warm little curve. This is my cue to unfurl myself so that she can lay on my shoulder and I can wrap my other arm around her. It amazes me that her long, skinny frame, all angles and strength, can soften enough to fit against me so perfectly, even now. Just as when she was a baby, and her small body fit perfectly into the nest of my arms, or my eye against the curve of her head, or her head in the curve of my neck, legs pulled up beneath her.
The morning has another start when I walk down the hall to get Violet out of bed. She's usually still asleep. It's warmer in the girls' room and she's still burrowed underneath mounds of covers. The best thing is that I say, "Good morning," softly, and she gives a huge stretch and blinks the sleep from her eyes. "Good morning, mama," she says in her sweet little chirp of a voice, and I sit on her bed and hold out my arms. "Good morning hug?" I ask and she drapes herself against my body, still heavy with dreams and the last of night clinging to her. "I love you," I say, and she says, "I love you, too, mama," with such genuine sincerity. And then she's ready to go, wide awake, the day a grand stretch of possibility laid out for the taking.
I follow her down the hall, bones heavy and creaky, still not quite awake myself. I'm tired, weary in the deepest part of me, but still grateful. Grateful to witness love and light in so many ways, contained in these two girls, in all its hopeful forms.

As most of us already know, there are many benefits to owning a pet. From constant companionship to the always unexciting humor pets bring an extra something to life. Whether this is the first pet you welcome into your home or you are a veteran looking for an addition to your family a question to ask yourself 'is what is the pet or you?' With breeders, pet stores, and rescues all over Milwaukee one must consider all of the options and the endless possibilities.
As is true with all new additions to the home there is a certain level of patience that comes with introducing a pet into a new environment. Before making any final decision you should make a pet checklist. This checklist should give you an idea on what pet is right for you. Do your homework. Use the Internet, breed clubs, and friends as resources to get a background on the pet and breed you are interested in. What are you looking for in a companion? What do they need in return? You and the pet need to be compatible if you both are going to be happy.
Once you have decided on the pet it is a good idea to consider age. Baby animals are cute but require a lot of time and attention. Are you able to accommodate this? If not, an older animal may be better. After you have come to a decision and you know what you are looking for now it is time to find that perfect match. Do not rush into something without knowing what you are rushing into. Check out all of the possibilities. Are you in need of breeder information or are you thinking of adopting? Everyone wants to be a hero to a pet without a home but like humans, animals come with a history. Ask questions and get as much information as you can about the background of your prospective pet. Meet the pet. They are all beautiful but make sure the personality is a match too. Do not be afraid to ask for references, as most people/groups will be more than happy to help you make the right choice. One thing all the people you meet will have in common is they have the animals best interest at heart. They want you and your new family member to be happy.

A 22-year-old woman believed to be the driver of the getaway car after a drive-by shooting in Morgan Hill last week is in custody, while police continue to look for two other suspects in the case.
Police say Deya Ayala walked into the Morgan Hill Police Department Tuesday night and and surrendered. She is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and committing a felony while out on bail.
Ayala is believed to have been behind the wheel of a car when what police described as a "hail of gunfire" was unleashed from the car on two men after they had tried to walk away from an argument with two other men Friday night.
When officers responded to calls about shots being fired at the intersection of Spring Ave. and Monterey Rd. around 11 p.m. Friday they found a 25-year-old Gilroy man suffering gunshot wounds to his upper body and arm.
He was taken to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery. Though his wounds were considered serious, he is expected to survive.
The second man, a 29-year-old Morgan Hill man, was able to escape injury.
Police said in a release that the shooting came after an argument between the men behind a nearby Chinese restaurant.
Though the two victims in the shooting tried to walk away from the argument, police say the two other suspects wanted in the case taunted and yelled at them.
And, according to police, as the two victims walked along Spring Ave. a woman driving a sedan brought the car to an "abrupt stop" before "multiple" shots were fired from the car.
Police are still looking for 22-year-old Francsico Diaz and 21-year-old Nicolas Young, both from nearby Gilroy.
Both men are described by police as armed and dangerous.

Governor Pat Quinn's State of the State speech focused on a five-year blueprint which centered on education, fairness and jobs. It is the "jobs" portion of the blueprint that is catching some attention. Quinn works tirelessly to bring jobs to Illinois.
Just this past Friday, Quinn attended an announcement by the communication company, AT&T, plans to create about 200 new jobs across Illinois that include retail staff and technicians. AT&T currently employs more than 14,000 workers in Illinois.
These efforts are paying off for the state of Illinois and politically for Governor Quinn.
An independent study by CareerBuilder and Economic Modeling Specialists Intl. (the study can be found here at economicmodeling.com) has found that Illinois ranks 3rd among the 50 states in growth of business establishments.
The rankings were as follows, with the state of Texas ranked first in creating 22% of the nation's net private-sector business establishments from 2009 to 2012 (more than 29,000). The state of New York was second creating 16% of all net establishments (nearly 21,000) and Illinois cam in third creating created 14% (18,000-plus).
The three states combined for more than half of all net establishments since the end of the recession. Texas, New York and Illinois has been identified as having one of the most thriving private sectors in the nation. The report provides further evidence that these three states, including Illinois, are recovering steadily from the worst economic hardship since the Great Depression.
The argument on the right is that the states with the most jobs growth would have cheap land, limited government regulation and low taxes. However, this study does not bear out this narrative since New York and Illinois do not necessarily fit that description, while Texas may fit the description.
The independent study argues that "Texas, New York, and Illinois each have major metropolitan areas that are centers of economic activity for their states and the nation."
The study added, "But they have other things in common, too: Their economies are diversified (it's not just one or two industry sectors that are creating the bulk of the new business establishments), and the construction sectors in each state, while not doing great, have fared better than most areas of the country."
In Illinois, the Governor's blueprint had specific proposals, which included reducing the LLC fee from $500 to $39. He is also asked for the enactment of a "Small Business Advocate" to examine existing policies and proposals for their impact on the state's small businesses. He also proposed investing in BioHub, a new biotech center for start-ups.
"We know that more jobs are needed and we are working to get them, but this report shows that our economy is getting stronger every day," Governor Quinn said. "We wouldn't see this business growth without our skilled work force, our great advantages in location and our culture of innovation."
Since recovery from the recession began in January 2010, Illinois has added 280,000 private sector jobs. Unemployment was at 11.3 percent at the height of the Great Recession and today it is at its lowest point in almost five years. Since last May, Illinois has led the Midwest in new jobs created. According to the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank, in the next six months Illinois is projected to have the best economic growth of the five largest states in America.

Red Wings
Trotz gets 500th win as Preds top Wings 4-1
Wednesday, 08.06.2014 / 4:50 AM
DETROIT -- Barry Trotz is the only coach the
Nashville Predators
have ever known in their 13 years of existence, so it was fitting that his and the organization's 500th victory came as the result of playing "Predators Hockey."
Trotz and Nashville general manager David Poile have built one of the NHL's most successful teams on a yearly basis by drafting and signing players who fit their defensive system and living off some great goaltending.
On Friday night at Joe Louis Arena, that's exactly how the Predators beat the
Detroit Red Wings
4-1 to achieve that milestone 500th win for Trotz, the organization and Poile -- who's now won 500 games as a GM with two franchises; he did it first with the Washington Capitals.
"I don't really think about the personal stuff," said Trotz, who spoke with reporters at length about his franchise on Friday afternoon and then, along with Poile, was given a game puck for a keepsake. "Someone said we're one of two teams with 40-plus wins in seven straight years, and I'm probably more proud about that than I am about any personal number, because that means we've done a pretty good job of being a competitive team for a good length of time."
After a number of trades orchestrated by Poile before the deadline, plus coaxing
Alexander Radulov
to return from the KHL, the Preds are thinking big as they head down the stretch of the regular season. This win allowed Nashville (98 points) to leapfrog the Red Wings (97 points) into fourth place of the Western Conference standings with just four games left in the regular season -- starting with another division rivalry game at home against Chicago on Saturday.
"I think our organization has grown and been a consistent producer of players," Trotz said earlier Friday. "We've drafted pretty well and I think we've produced pretty well and have become a competitive team. Now our goals are to do what everybody else sets out to do -- go deep in the playoffs and win a Stanley Cup. We used to go, 'We've got to make the playoffs, we've got to make the playoffs.' The mind-set now is that we expect to make the playoffs and we've had a lot of change in our team [since last year]."
Still, they've managed to keep the same philosophy over the years and it's paid off in what Trotz now refers to "Hockeytown South" down in Nashville. Friday's game in the original "Hockeytown" just showcased why the Predators have to be taken seriously as Cup contenders.
After more than 30 minutes of scoreless, tight-checking hockey, the Preds carved out a 3-0 lead early in the third on goals by
Gabriel Bourque
Francis Bouillon
and Radulov before
Shea Weber
put on the finishing touches by scoring into an empty net.
Jiri Hudler
scored Detroit's lone goal with 3:03 left in regulation, but it was far too little and much too late.
Pekka Rinne
made 31 saves to get his League-leading 42nd win for the Predators (45-25-8), while
Jimmy Howard
started his first game since missing four in a row with a groin injury and took the loss for Detroit -- which has dropped two in a row. Howard finished with 23 saves.
After Weber's goal, the Predators made sure to secure a couple of memento pucks for Trotz and Poile to celebrate the big night for their franchise on its 500th victory.
"Obviously, [Trotz] was there for all of them and David Poile's won 500 with two franchises now," said
David Legwand
, a native of Gross Pointe Woods, Mich., who was the first draft pick in Predators history -- he was taken with the second pick in the 1998 NHL Draft. 'It's a great accomplishment and everyone's proud of [Trotz] and what he did. Everyone should know that it is quite an accomplishment and longevity and that sort of thing is huge."
Weber agreed.
"It means a lot to the franchise, especially Trotz being here the whole time," the Nashville captain said. "We've found a way [to be competitive]. We've just been getting better and better and we're taking steps in the right direction as a franchise. [Trotz] has been here since day one, some of the hardest days, and I can only imagine how hard it's been for him."
At the moment, Trotz's team is making life hard on almost everybody the Preds face. Detroit found that out firsthand in a game that very well might decide which team will get home-ice advantage in a potential Stanley Cup Playoffs quarterfinal matchup.
"I just think they're a deeper team than they were," Wings coach Mike Babcock said, referring to the Predators' roster additions. "I mean, anytime you add [
Hal Gill
], Radulov and [
Andrei Kostitsyn
], they're a deep team for sure, and we're going to need [injured center
Darren Helm
] too. I think he can help us against this team or against any team, but we've just got to keep plugging away here."
Helm is out with a sprained knee and could be questionable to return in a first-round series. Detroit could have used his speed and athleticism in this game -- which was difficult to find space on the ice with the Predators occupying vast expanses of it.
After a scoreless first period without many good scoring chances for either team, the Predators continued playing their favorite brand of defensive hockey and went ahead with a pair of goals in the second.
Bourque scored at 13:05 by firing a wrist shot from the top of the right circle through a great screen in front by
Paul Gaustad
-- another trade-deadline pickup -- to make it 1-0 before Bouillon scored his third goal of the season to make it 2-0 with just 33 seconds left in the period.
All three of Bouillon's goals have come in March. Before scoring on March 12 against Phoenix , Bouillon -- who missed most of last year with a concussion -- hadn't scored since Nov. 3 2010.
Boullion's goal in this game -- scored from the low slot after the puck kicked loose from a scramble -- came on the heels of
Henrik Zetterberg
being robbed by Rinne to keep the Predators ahead. Zetterberg was all set to knot the game at 1-1 when he picked up a rebound during a power play late in the second, but Rinne's diving glove save put an end to that chance quickly.
"Pekka was outstanding," Trotz said. "When it was 1-0, he had back-to-back penalty kills and he made that one save that was just ... that was
Pekka Rinne
. He's able to make a save like that [and] it's just incredible. It's that big save you need and then we come back and score."
Detroit also had a point blast by
Nicklas Lidstrom
earlier in the second that was tipped by
Tomas Holmstrom
hit the right post during another power play and bounce right back underneath Rinne to stop play.
Early in the third, Radulov scored his second goal since returning from the KHL earlier this month by zipping to the net and redirecting a great pass feed by
Andrei Kostitsyn
past Howard for a commanding 3-0 lead.
Rinne and the Nashville defense took it from there, allowing just Hudler's late goal. Radulov also assisted on Bouillon's goal for a two-point game and showed the kind of extra dimension he adds at both ends of the rink.
"He was dynamic," said Trotz, who said that he'll probably donate his own keepsake puck for display as a team memento back in Nashville. "We deal with [
Pavel Datsyuk
] and some of the special things he can do all the time. [Radulov] is one of those special players who can do some special things [too]. It was probably the first time for them seeing him as a mature player in this League."

Walter J. Ong's classic work provides a fascinating insight into the social effects of oral, written, printed and electronic technologies, and their impact on philosophical, theological, scientific and literary thought. This thirtieth anniversary edition coinciding with Ong's centenary year reproduces his best-known and most influential book in full and brings it up to date with two new exploratory essays by cultural writer and critic John Hartley. Hartley provides: A scene-setting chapter that situates Ong's work within the historical and disciplinary context of post-war Americanism and the rise of communication and media studies; A closing chapter that follows up Ong's work on orality and literacy in relation to evolving media forms, with a discussion of recent criticisms of Ong's approach, and an assessment of his concept of the 'evolution of consciousness'; Extensive references to recent scholarship on orality, literacy and the study of knowledge technologies, tracing changes in how we know what we know. These illuminating essays contextualize Ong within recent intellectual history, and display his work's continuing force in the ongoing study of the relationship between literature and the media, as well as that of psychology, education and sociological thought.

Wesley Watson admits it—his team got creamed.
RiKICKulousness! (spelled correctly) lost their first game, 21 to 1, to the Wrecking Balls last April. Watson, one of his team's few males, blames the loss on the team being mostly rookies but doesn't let it get to him. "It's fun," he says, as a last few drops of base-running sweat roll off his forehead and he lights a smoke. "It reminds me of elementary."
Besides, Watson learned a few tricks. "If you're just trying to get to first, give it a little bunt," he says. "If you want to try for a home run, give it everything you've got."
The World Adult Kickball Association (WAKA) started in Washington, DC and spread across America. Made popular by grade school gym class, kickball is like baseball, but with a rolling ball you kick instead of a airborne ball you club.
Utah has three mixed-gender leagues: UT Mountain holds games at the Cottonwood Complex in Millcreek, the UT Beach at Flat Iron Mesa Park in Sandy, and UT Capital league, where RiKICKulousness! plays, hosts games at Liberty Park.
Kenzie Kemp, UT Capital and UT Beach community coordinator, says Watson's relaxed attitude is common among players. "There are some competitive teams, but it's more fun than anything," she says. "Come with a good attitude and you'll have a blast."
After games, players go drinking at whatever bar sponsors the season. "They do drink and food specials for us," Kemp says. "We get to know the other teams and get to know our own players." For UT Capital, it was Poplar Street Pub last season. The league also gave back by raising money for healthcare nonprofit One Hour for Life through bar games, raffles and even a bake sale.
All players must be over 21 and can sign up with friends, co-workers or as free agents. Kemp says 16 to 18 players makes a good team, but the max is 26.
Robby Luck, who works for a physical therapist and has played about 20 seasons, loves drinking at the bar and meeting new people. "I run our team this year," he says. "There are 20 people and not one of us does the same thing." Watson, who runs a ceiling grid tie wire business, loves kickball so far but makes another confession. "I wasn't expecting it to be so physical," he says. "It doesn't look like much until you have to chase the ball down the field."
A new season starts this July. Info at kickball.com.
