Sept. 28, 2012
TUCSON, Ariz. - Three players finished with double-figure kills to lead No. 7 Stanford past Arizona, 3-1 (25-20, 22-25, 25-22, 25-18), Friday night inside the McKale Center.
Carly Wopat led the three Cardinal players with 15 kills on the night. Wopat had no errors and hit an efficient .625 to go along with five blocks. Inky Ajanaku and Jordan Burgess added 10 kills apiece for Stanford (11-2, 3-0 Pac-12), while Ajanaku finished with a match-high seven blocks. The Cardinal hit .255 on the night, but more importantly held the Wildcats to just .158 hitting.
The Wildcats also had three players in double-figures led by sophomore Madi Kingdon (Phoenix, Ariz.), who had a match-high 20 kills to go along with 12 digs for her sixth double-double of the season. Fellow sophomore Taylor Arizobal (Laguna Niguel, Calif.) had 13 kills and freshman Halli Amaro (Los Alamitos, Calif.) added 12 kills on .333 hitting.
Freshman Lauren Fuller (Los Angeles, Calif.) dished out a season-high 29 assists to go with seven digs. Meanwhile, Candace Nicholson (Long Beach, Calif.) finished with a team-high 16 digs from the back row.
Arizona got off to a strong start to the match by taking an early 8-4 lead. However, Stanford quickly erased the deficit by winning five of the next six points to tie the score 9-9. After the two teams traded the next several points, Stanford broke a 14-14 tie by winning three consecutive points to lead 17-14. The Wildcats could never pull back even as the Cardinal took the set, 25-20. Stanford hit a solid .318 in the set, while the Wildcats hit just .184.
The Wildcats won the first point of the second set and they never trailed at all in the frame. Arizona won a tightly contested set in which there were seven ties. Stanford was never able to get over the hump as the Wildcats took the set, 25-22.
Stanford jumped out to a quick 10-7 lead in the third set, but Arizona closed the gap with a 3-0 run to tie the score. After the two teams went back and forth for the next several points, Stanford turned a 16-16 tie into a 19-16 lead after winning three straight points. However, Arizona just would not go away as the Cats won the next four points to take a one point lead at 20-19. The lead was short lived as Stanford won the next three points to take a 22-20 lead. The Cardinal took three of the next five points to win the set, 25-22.
The Cardinal opened the fourth set on a 10-4 and the Wildcats were never able to close the gap. Stanford went on to win the set, 25-18. The Cardinal limited the Wildcats to just .095 hitting in the set.
The Wildcats continue Pac-12 play on Sunday when they host California at 11:30 a.m. inside the McKale Center. The match will air live on the Pac-12 Networks.

Baseball Inks 10 Student-Athletes For 2010-11
Nov. 23, 2009
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech head baseball coach Dan Spencer announced the signing of 10 student-athletes earlier today that will comprise the 2010-11 class. The class includes six pitchers, two infielders, one outfielder and one catcher.
"We felt like last year's recruiting class was very solid but we really feel like we got a good group of high school arms and a mixture of junior college talent," said Texas Tech head coach Dan Spencer. "As far as position players are concerned this was the first year where we have been able to target certain areas and we did that by getting a couple of infielders and a young outfielder and catcher. Our main goal has been to establish continuity and I think this class will go a long way in that direction. I am very excited to get them on campus and have them wearing Red & Black."
These 10 student-athletes will enroll in the fall of 2010 and be eligible for competition in the spring of 2011.
Class Breakdown
Parker Bridwell, RHP, Hereford, Texas (Hereford High School)
Daniel Coulombe, LHP, Scottsdale, Ariz. (USC/South Mountain Community College)
Hayden Holub, RHP, Seymour, Texas (Seward County Community College)
Jordan Lopez, OF, Edmond, Okla. (Santa Fe High School)
A high school teammate of current Tech freshman Duke VonSchamann ... earned All-Edmond honors for the third consecutive year last season after compiling a .432 batting average along with nine home runs, 10 doubles and two triples ... posted an on-base percentage of .540
Trey Masek, RHP/OF, Giddings, Texas (Giddings High School)
David Paiz, INF, Austin, Texas (Anderson High School)
Mason Randolph, Catcher, Lubbock, Texas (Coronado High School)

Spring break is one of the busiest tome pf the year at the Walt Disney World Resorts and Theme Parks. During this time families make their way to the Central Florida area to enjoy the magic of the theme parks and the warmer weather. Though some schools do have their spring breaks during the later part of March, most schools are on break around Easter.
Because this is a popular time to visit Disney, be prepared for heavy crowds and longer lines, especially at the parks and restaurants. To better help you plan your spring break vacation at Disney World, it is a good idea to have a full understanding of how the Disney FastPass+ system works, as well as utilizing Advance Dining Reservations, single rider lines and the rider switch program. All of these will help reduce your wait in line.
Other tips to help you get the most out of your spring break vacation include:
- Do not park hop: This wastes a lot of time going from one resort to another. Make plans to stay at one resort and spend the entire day there.
- Grab a seat early: When wanting to watch a show or parade, try to get there early and take time to sit and relax for a bit. Crowds start lining up for Fantasmic!, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth and the Main Street Electrical Parade as early as one hour (or even more) before the show is scheduled to begin.
- Skip the park with EMH: Though the park offering Extra Magic Hours will give you more time to enjoy all of your favorite attractions, it will also be the busiest park of the day. Many families will take advantage of the extra hours, so consider going to another park for the day.
- Stay at a Disney Resort: This will give you easy transportation access via bus, monorail and watercraft to all of the theme parks, including the water parks and Downtown Disney.
- Take advantage of quick service restaurants: Some of the fastest, most efficient quick service restaurants at the Disney theme parks include Cosmic Ray's at the Magic Kingdom, the Sunshine Food Fair at the Land in Epcot, the ABC Commissary at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Restaurantosaurus at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Hopefully these tips help you get the most out of your spring break vacation at the Walt Disney World resorts and theme parks.
Happy vacationing!

A Queens teen who insisted he smoked marijuana so much that he wasn't impaired by the drug in a fatal crash that killed his four friends reversed course Tuesday and pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide charges to avoid a possible longer prison sentence following a partial mistrial in his case.
Joseph Beer, 19, of Queens, was convicted in June of manslaughter charges in connection with an October 2012 crash that killed four of his friends. A partial mistrial was declared in the case after jurors deadlocked on several other counts, including the top charge of aggravated vehicular homicide.
Defense lawyer Todd Greenberg had argued that despite his client's admissions of smoking marijuana before getting behind the wheel, scientific evidence showed it was possible Beer, who he called a chronic marijuana user, wasn't impaired by the drug. He said the jury's inability to reach a verdict meant they didn't buy the prosecution's theory that Beer was impaired by marijuana at the time. Greenberg also argued that the area around the crash site is dangerous because there are no signs warning of an incline, blind spot and a curve.
"He is now admitting he was impaired by marijuana, which we were confident the evidence always showed," said Maureen McCormick, the chief of the Nassau DA's Vehicular Crimes Bureau."The reality of the situation is that he is already convicted of these deaths." She also said the victims' families did not want another trial.
Prosecutors have argued that Beer was impaired by marijuana and traveling at more than 110 mph when he lost control of his 2012 Subaru Impreza and smashed into a tree – ripping his car in half. At the trial, prosecutors said a combination of "speed and weed" led to the fatal crash. Beer's four passengers – 18-year-olds Darian Ramnaraine, Peer Kanhai and Chris Khan and 17-year-old Neal Rajapa – were all killed on impact.
"Joseph has shown his remorse by accepting these charges," Greenberg told reporters after the plea. "There's an end to a case and an acceptance of responsibility. It's time to move on."
Greenberg said he still believed Beer may not have been impaired, but said "part of the system is plea bargaining." He said the plea ensures his client will be eligible for parole in three years. Greenberg said his client "wants to move on, serve his time and come out and be a productive member of society."
Greenberg said he would ask Nassau County Court Judge David Sullivan to declare Beer a youthful offender because the crash happened when he was 17 years old. If granted, Beer would only face a maximum of four years in prison. Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice said in June that her office would oppose that request.
Beer declined to comment as officers led him down a courthouse hallway. He is due back in court on Aug. 26 for sentencing. Family members of victim Peter Kanhai who attended the court hearing also declined comment.

Every now and then I get like this.
Wednesday, May 01, 2013
My husband is driving me crazy this week. He's an avid car fan, to the extent that he rebuilds his own. There's a club and meetings and shows and events. He loves it. He didn't for a while back when we were dating, but after a little more car searching and a renewed interest in the same project he is back with a vengeance. I admire his dedication to the project and really am happy to see the look of pride when he's accomplished one more task on the car. He's been talking nonstop about the car and the events we will attend when it's finished. We have such an event this weekend too; he has multiple cars and so we'll take a non-project car. He was so excited that he has stretched the Saturday event into a Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon event. In his excitement he invited our non car friends, spread the word to family, and arranged everything, but never asked me.
This is another thing I do love and admire about my husband despite my now complaining. He is passionate and enthusiastic and always wants to spend time with me. We don't really have our own separate things and as a result he assumes when he is excited I am too. This brings me to my reflection of the evening...
At a very earlier age I realized that when I anticipated something, it never met my expectations in reality. So whenever I felt really excited or had high expectations for something, I would imagine it being "just okay". This left me feeling more satisfied when the day actually came. In hindsight it's a little sad. I think I developed an overwhelming sense of negativity in doing this as a child. I've done this my entire life, including graduations, parties, and - yes - even my wedding.
At this point, I feel like I don't get excited about anything anymore. I get panicky or concerned or work up, but never just plain excited. And so as I watch my husband come running in from the garage covered in grease thrilled that the engine ran, I can't help but feel a tinge of guilt because I don't know how to be excited. And when he plans our weekend and is so excited that he can't see my lack of excitement it only makes me feel... broken, for lack of a better word.
I need to find my excitement.
To be continued...

I keep my expectations low for certain things, too, as I have been disappointed in the past. The one thing that I get really excited for lately is traveling. You'll find your passion. Keep looking.

Yes, it does sound like it would make you sad. I wonder if it would do you good to take a real retreat, you know, a time to separate yourself from the everyday, the stresses, challenges, pressures, and do whatever kind of meditation and reflection works best for you -- walks in the woods, prayer, yoga, running along a beach, or writing in a blank journal with no one to look over your shoulder or to grade you. Just to give yourself time to open up, to get through the automatic responses or what you think you ought to think, and just try to discover honestly, what DO I CARE about?
A change of scenery and a chance to think about what you are really looking for... is it to be excited... then think about planning an adventure doing something you haven't done before, or doing something you have done and enjoyed before, but intensely taking that to another level?
Maybe you aren't of the same emotional bubbly-ness as your husband, but what is it that makes you glow inside, or which makes you feel like singing or dancing or like sharing with others? Maybe then you'll find something that will excite you in your own way.
food luck.

Zero has a skill in the Bloodshed tree that
Massively increases Melee Damage against enemies with low health.
What exactly counts as low health in this case?
Zero has a skill in the Bloodshed tree that
What exactly counts as low health in this case?
I initially guessed
Based on my observations, I'd say "low health" is ~33% health (or 1/3 health).
Fortunately, it is pretty clear when the ability was applied in a kill. Normally you deal a fixed amount of damage to everyone. When the ability is applied, you see a boost in the damage dealt and you get a nice "buzz" sound and a slashing animation for every hit.
To test this, I respec'ed Zero and went off to fight making sure I didn't level up any more during the tests. As a baseline, I fought off enemies with only the Deception skill and no other skills. Every melee attack I dealt gave
I saved and restarted to go on another run. This time I added Killing Blow Level 1 to the mix. Again, most hits dealt
However I noticed that at times when I wasn't quite at
To see if the level of the skill affects this, I tried again with Killing Blow Level 2 and up. You get even more damage of course but it still seemed to apply at
User Zikel, in the /r/Borderlands subreddit tested Killing Blow and came up with the ff. results:
Source: Reddit /r/Borderlands post by user Zikel, "Many skill descriptions are misleading, don't tell the full story or straight up lie to you. I took it upon my self to test EVERYTHING and clear up the confusion. Here are the results."

What is Financial Aid?
Grants, scholarships and loans provide you money to help pay for college. These financial aid programs require that you qualify to receive them. Qualifications vary for the programs.
Here is a list of financial aid types provided by the federal government.
Grants and Scholarships
Grants and scholarships do not have to be repaid if you complete the enrollment you were paid to attend.
Pell Grant
Pell Grants are awarded to
- undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree.
- students enrolled in a post-baccalaureate teacher certification program and taking 6 or more credits of approved education units per term.
Pell Grants are considered the foundation of federal financial aid. Eligibility is determined by the information gathered on the FAFSA. Awards are prorated depending on level of need as determined by the Department of Education. Award amounts will also vary depending on the number of credits the recipient is enrolled in.
Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG)
This program is for undergraduates with exceptional financial need. Pell-eligible students with the lowest expected family contributions (EFCs) will be considered first for a SEOG. Funds are limited. Complete your FAFSA early!
Leveraging Education Aid Partnership Grant (LEAP)
This program is funded through contributions from Arizona and PCC. It is for Pell-eligible students with demonstrated financial need. Funds are limited. Complete your FAFSA early!
Arizona Higher Education
A number of state grants are available to students each year.
Pima Community College
Pima scholarships and grants are available to students. Funds are limited.
Unlike grants, which do not have to be paid back if you complete the courses you were paid to attend, loan funds must be paid back with interest, regardless of course completion. You do not have to pay back the loan until you complete your education or cease attending at least half time, whichever occurs first.
Loans made by the federal government have much better rates and payback terms than loans from a private institution such as a bank.
Federal Direct Loans
- Subsidized: The federal government pays the interest on the loan while you are attending school. Funds for your loan will come from the Department of Education.
- Unsubsidized: Loans accrue interest while you are in school. The interest rates on these loans differ from subsidized loans and may be different for each aid year that you borrow. Funds for your loan will come from the Department of Education.
Eligibility rules are similar under both programs, but amounts that you can borrow and repayment plans differ.
FPLUS Loan
Your parents can take out a FPLUS loan to help pay your education expenses if you are a dependent undergraduate student enrolled at least half-time in an eligible program at an eligible school.
FPLUS Loans are available through the Federal Direct Loan Program. Your parents must have an acceptable credit history, as determined at the time they apply for the loan.
If you are interested in an FPLUS loan, your parents must first apply for a FPLUS loan. If the loan is approved, you must complete and submit the PLUS Loan Request form.
Perkins Loan
Perkins loans are no longer offered. Students who are in repayment for a Perkins loan should contact the Department of Education directly.

Great Hairdryer..breaks EasilyI love this hair dryer..I have very full, wavy hair and this cuts my drying time down in half. I would have given it 5 stars but mine broke after just a year of use. Luckily it comes with a 2 year warranty and Folica was GREAT about replacing it right away. I called Folica and within 3 days I had a new hair dryer. Excellent service.Dec 17, 2009Laura / Arlington, VA

As A Professional Hair Stylist........I bought this dryer because another stylist at the salon had it and raved about it. I liked the look and feel of the dryer, and it's smaller profile. PROS: Very compact, reasonably quiet, low EMF's (important to someone who uses a blow dryer for hours every day), rear button control, cool shot button really works, very long cord, great for salon work. Powerful and though not light, it is very well balanced. Cons: Dryer not as hot as most dryers, making curls etc, takes longer. The difference between high speed and low speed is small. I wish low speed was really low, for detail work. Universal diffusers don't fit this unit and the one available for it is very small. Overall this is a good dryer, and I will keep it. If the manufacturers could make the few adjustments I mentioned, it would be a "Great" dryer.Nov 30, 2009Blu

Not The Best DryerI purchased the dryer last month & it did not come with a comb attachment. Tried to find one at the beauty supply store & their is not one to fit it. But I did find a compareable dryer with all attachments & it was only 50.00! It is not worth the money & since I've had it for 35 days, I can't return.Oct 29, 2009Vickie / Decatur Ga

Best Dryer Ever OwnedI love this blow dryer!!! I have had it for about a year and a half now and I absolutely love it. I have really fine long hair but loads of it and it dries my hair within 10 minutes. I do find that when I turn on the ion button my hair dries really frizzy and poofy so I don't recommend using the ion option on fine hair types. The regular setting works wonders! My hair always feels healthy and looks shiny with this dryer. Also I love that it is a smaller dryer that travels with ease. I hated my other dryers for taking up space in my suit case but this dryer fits so easily I can take it on all of my trips. I want to also mention how long the cord is...I can literally walk out of my bathroom and out of my bedroom with no problem! IT'S AWESOME! I would really recommend this blow dryer to everyone!Oct 13, 2009Amber / United States

T3 Bespoke Labs Vs Sedu 4000Just got the this sedu and I have to say I like it better than my T3. The T3 does dry your hair slightly quicker. But the sedu is much better when it come to styling your blowout. It reduces frizz and makes hair shiny, with bounce.... something my t3 never did. First day and I already got a compliment on my hair!Oct 11, 2009Anon / New York, Ny

Great For Thick Curly Hair, Average On Straight HairI've noticed that almost everyone who has thick curly hair gave this dryer excellent reviews. However, I am Asian and have long straight hair. This dryer takes about the same amount of time to dry my hair as it does with my Allure 1600 dryer, which is approximately 5 minutes. It does leave my hair a little softer, but it isn't noticeably different, as my boyfriend had a hard time telling the difference. I even used the nozzle to control air flow, which should make my hair feel silkier. I feel that using a regular hair dryer in combination with the Head and Shoulders "silk conditioning" shampoo and conditioner left my hair softer than this. Not too impressed with the dryer. Very overpriced for what it can do for my hair.Sep 22, 2009CatHAIR TYPEAsian / Curly Hair / Long Hair

Heavier Than Everyone ReportsI bought this dryer because the reviews were so glowing, but as others have said, I'm underwhelmed. The first thing I noticed is how heavy it is. Secondly, mine doesn't get very hot at all and I'm starting to think it actually takes me longer to dry with it than with my old dryer. I've used it for about 5 days now, so I'm hoping I start to like it more, otherwise I'm sending it back.Sep 21, 2009Jen / Delran, NJ USA

Ten days remain for voters to participate in the Aug. 16 primary. Ballots were mailed July 27 to about half of Clark County's registered voters, who will be deciding primary races in city council, school board, port, fire district and other races. At stake is advancement to the Nov. 8 general election, which will involve the top two vote-getters in each primary race, as well as numerous other showdowns in races that have drawn two candidates each.
Even as the primary season enters the homestretch, it's not too soon to be thinking about the fall election, and we already have good news for voters: less homework! At least when it comes to ballot measures, just five this year.
The secretary of state's office announced last week that three initiatives have been brought by the citizens to the ballot, to be joined by two constitutional amendments placed by the Legislature. Last year there were nine combined ballot measures: six initiatives, a referendum, one Senate Joint Resolution and one House Joint Resolution.
One of this year's initiatives addresses a familiar topic: privatization of the state liquor sales and distribution system. Two similar measures were offered last Nov. 2, one presented by retailers and one by wholesalers. Voters rejected both proposals, the former by 53.4 percent statewide (55.8 percent in Clark County) and the latter by 65.0 percent (60.0 locally).
This year, Costco is backing another liquor-privatization effort: Initiative 1183. According to Brad Shannon of The Olympian newspaper, I-1183 — if approved — would require "selling off the state's liquor stores and warehouse and turning over liquor sales and distribution to the private sector." Business and labor groups have formed a coalition called "Protect Our Communities" to oppose the measure, but Costco already has dedicated more than $1 million to the effort and set a record by gathering 361,339 signatures, far surpassing the 241,153 required by law. And the 13.9 percent error rate for signatures was the lowest error rate among this year's three initiatives.
Other measures on the Nov. 8 ballot:
Initiative 1125 — sponsored by professional initiative kingpin Tim Eyman — seeks limits on highway tolling revenue and is backed by more than $1 million from Bellevue developer and anti-light rail activist Kemper Freeman.
Initiative 1163 deals with home-care training and is bolstered by more than $1 million from Service Employees Union 775 Northwest.
Senate Joint Resolution 8206 is a bipartisan legislative call for a constitutional amendment that would create an improved rainy-day fund for saving excess state revenue during boom times. Lead sponsors are state Sen. Joe Zarelli, R-Ridgefield, and Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown, D-Spokane. "Extraordinary revenue" would be that which exceeds the average biennial growth of the previous decade by one-third.
Senate Joint Resolution 8205 would lead to a constitutional amendment that would bring state voter-residency requirements for presidential votes in line with federal rules.
More details about the five ballot measures will be reported and analyzed in future editorials, and endorsement opinions will be expressed in late October.
Remember the primary
Meanwhile, remember to participate in the Aug. 16 primary if you are among the voters who have received ballots by mail. Clark County Auditor Greg Kimsey said that — as of Friday morning — 12,472 ballots had been received by county officials. That's a turnout of about 11 percent, slightly ahead of schedule and enough to make Kimsey a little more confident about the projected turnout of 25 percent.

Best Christmas-Themed Computer Games
It is a custom to almost all places in the world that family, friends and even mere acquaintances gather for some "quality time" together at home. Besides the food, the means of entertainment is also among the biggest problems of the host. Just because there is an available gaming laptop or desktop does not really mean that the problem is solved—the available games should be interesting and timely enough to really be "entertaining."
To help out in your Christmas worries, here are some of the best Christmas-themed computer games that you can keep in your gaming laptop or desktop:
Chicken Invaders 2 (Christmas Edition)
After the deliciously satisfying Christmas turkey, you don't necessarily have to join the boring family discussions with the adults. You can also sit right in front of your gaming laptop running on a Windows OS to play the Christmas-themed Chicken Invaders. You can pilot your own rocket ship and battle against the intergalactic chickens that seem to be trying hard to get their revenge. Shoot all of more than a hundred waves of mad chicken invaders and discover different weapons and use them to survive.
This arcade shooting game also has special holiday bonus levels and you can collect unique items and unlock secrets. Chicken Invaders 2 is appropriate for Christmas gamers of all ages.
Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult
If you're a fan of bowling and you'd have to be stuck in a family gathering this Christmas Eve, don't fret. You can still play your game with a very interesting Christmas twist.
The Elf Bowling 7 1/7: The Last Insult lets you assume the role of Santa Clause who is on his way to deliver presents but the elves are attacking him. The elves take the place of the bowling pins which Santa Clause has to knock down. But wait, this game isn't as easy as it seems. The extraordinary powers of the elves make the game a lot harder than just an ordinary bowling game.
The elves can create different obstacles like oil, narrowed lane and gigantic shields. The game is very challenging and you would either end up not wanting to leave your post until you get through it or giving it up to join your family for Christmas dinner instead.
Christmas Crisis
Every child believes in Santa Claus delivering Christmas presents on a Christmas Eve. But if Santa Claus is being knocked down by some jets and airplanes while on his way, what would Christmas be like? None of us would probably want a Christmas without Santa. The Christmas Crisis would let us help Santa Claus successfully deliver his Christmas presents by leading his sleigh to the different houses. We need to help him drop the presents on the houses while avoiding the jets and airplanes that could knock him down.
The Christmas Crisis is compatible with Windows OS and it is an easy point and shoot game. We simply have to make use of the arrow keys to lead the sleigh and the spacebar to drop the presents.
Angry Birds Seasons
Ever since Angry Birds became so popular; it has become irresistible for almost everyone to hit those ugly evil green pigs. The Angry Birds Seasons would keep us on a hitting-evil-green-pigs-mode even on Christmas. The game is actually a collection of different seasons like Christmas, Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, etc. It has different themes that make playing a lot more fun, interesting and appropriate for the event you should actually be celebrating.
Angry Birds Seasons has a lot of very challenging new levels and it also features its new hilarious looking orange bird. The game is very much like the original—addictive and fun.
Santa Claus in Trouble…Again!
The traditional bearded old man who delivers presents under our Christmas tree is in a big trouble again this season—he seemed to have dropped all the presents while he was riding on a sleigh.
In this game, we need to help Santa Claus collect all the presents he's dropped. But it isn't going to be easy. Santa is also being knocked down by evil penguins and trapped in fireplaces. We have to also help Santa Clause avoid those barriers.
This game is perfect for Christmas and it also features 3D gaming display and some really great Christmas carols.

Durasoft 3 LiteTint (D3*LT) Reviews
Everything you need in a contact lens.
These were the first contacts that my doctor recommended and I have been getting them from this site ever since. The Durasoft 3 LiteTint contact lens gives me the perfect vision. The lens is also very comfortable. I never get dry or irritated eyes when I am wearing it. It is also very easy to care for and clean.
First time user
I just found out that I needed to start wearing contact lenses so my doctor recommended the Durasoft 2 LiteTint lenses. He recommended them because the lenses are very comfortable and they are easy to take care of. I could easily clean them and put them in and take them out of my eye right away. They are also very easy to clean and maintain. These contacts made the transition easy.

Apple: yes, iPhone 4 has reception problems, but it's your fault
So Apple has acknowledged that its brand new, revolutionary iPhone 4 has signal reception issues – because of the way the antennas are integrated into the stainless steel band that's wrapped around the device.
The company doesn't say when or if it intends to fix this, but it does provide a few solutions.
Engadget has Apple's official response on the matter:
Gripping any mobile phone will result in some attenuation of its antenna performance, with certain places being worse than others depending on the placement of the antennas. This is a fact of life for every wireless phone. If you ever experience this on your iPhone 4, avoid gripping it in the lower left corner in a way that covers both sides of the black strip in the metal band, or simply use one of many available cases.
Moreover, a user wrote an email directly to Steve Jobs, complaining that "when I put my hand on the steel bands I lose all reception."
The answer: "Just avoid holding it that way."
So what Apple is suggesting is that it's actually users' fault that their iPhone 4s have reception issues.
I'm curious to know if Apple knew about this problem before launching the new iPhone. If it did, it's not at all flattering that it waited until users discovered the problem, and only then acknowledged its existence. If it didn't, well, that still looks bad for the company, as this proves that it didn't test the device thoroughly.
Eldar Murtazin thinks that Apple mainly tested iPhone 4s units with protective cases on, "for security reasons", and it's likely that no left-handed person tested the device without a case on.
So, the simplest way to resolve the problem is, indeed, the one given by Steve Jobs: don't hold your iPhone 4 in such way that you hand interacts with both antennas (yes, that's a rather ridiculous demand, I know, especially for left-handed people). The other official solution (buying an Apple bumper case for $29) is not only expensive, but it will also make your iPhone look less cool. An alternative solution would be: go to a service center and ask if they can apply a thin isolation layer on the band portion that causes problems.
Perhaps the white iPhone 4 was delayed exactly because of the reception issue, and maybe Apple is looking for methods to isolate the antennas on it. It shouldn't be too hard, I hope.

Galería Pacífico Announces Magdiel Perez's Exhibition
Published Mar 6, 2013, 2:41pm -
Galeria Pacifico will feature a solo exhibition of the stunning paintings of Magdiel Perez with a cocktail inauguration on Wednesday, March 6, from 6 to 10 pm during the weekly El Centro Art Walk. Perez is a highly acclaimed artist, not only in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, but throughout Mexico and internationally. He has participated in numerous solo and collective exhibitions in Mexico, as well as in Spain, the United States, Guatemala and Germany over the last twenty years.
Although Perez is well traveled and educated as well as formally trained in art, his work has the basic feeling of outsider or primitive art. His imagery includes animals such as dogs and horses as well as basic outlines of the human form and a frequent focus on images of trees that seem to symbolize the strength and diversity of life. There is a spiritual feeling to the paintings and a hint of the mystery of ancient times and civilizations. Perez almost exclusively utilizes the technique of encaustic painting that incorporates the use of a hard wax along with the oils and pigments placed on the canvas, board or paper upon which he paints. This gives a special patina and texture to the work that simultaneously enhances an ancient feeling as well as a timeless mood, as in from off the wall of a cave in Arles to on the wall of a penthouse in Manhattan.
The exhibit is entitled, Espacio del Sueño, or "Space of the Dream," a title that was partly inspired by a famous quote from Pablo Picasso: Everything you can imagine exists. "Like dreams, the space of a painting has its own laws, a plane where the phenomena of reality is reproduced or represented, but not subject to the laws of physics, gravity for example. Many images of a painting come unconsciously from a dream or are inspired by a human being that dreams while the painter works on his canvas. The painter carries those dream images somehow, and they enter through his eyes, cross his brain and his heart and pass to his hands onto the canvas, and there they are reproduced and gather back together," the artist explains.
The exhibition will remain mounted until March 26, but Galeria Pacifico always maintains an ample display of paintings by Magdiel Perez. The gallery's spacious second floor facility is located in Puerto Vallarta's El Centro, at Aldama 174, between Juarez and Morelos Streets.
Pacifico also sponsors the free Malecon Sculpture Walking Tours conducted by owner Gary Thompson that occur every Tuesday morning at 9:30 from mid-November through mid-April. More information on the tour or the Magdiel Perez exhibit may be obtained by visiting the gallery Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM and by appointment, or by calling (322) 222 1982 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

NEW ORLEANS - Coming off back-to-back Conference USA loses, the Tulane men's basketball team looks to get back on track Saturday when they host Tulsa at 1 p.m. CT at Devlin Fieldhouse.
The Green wave (12-5, 0-2 C-USA) fell at SMU, 59-53, on Saturday and opened conference play with a 66-57 loss to UTEP at home.
Tulsa (11-7, 3-1 C-USA) has won four of five games overall, including back-to-back conference games at home. The Hurricane defeated Rice, 64-51, last Saturday and got past UTEP, 45-42, on Wednesday night.
Fogelman Arena
Second Half Comeback Falls Short for Green Wave
A second-half comeback effort by the Tulane men's basketball team fell just short on Saturday night, falling to visiting Tulsa, 73-69, in Fogelman Arena.
As a team, the Green Wave is scoring 65.6 points per game overall and 55.0 points per game in conference play. Tulane is holding opponents to just 57.4 points per game, but has allowed conference foes 62.5 per game.

The Hurricane is averaging 64.3 points per game overall and 54.5 in conference games, while they are holding opponents to 62.3 points per game overall and 54.8 in conference contests.
This will be the 14th meeting between the two schools. Tulsa owns a 9-4 series lead, including five straight wins. The Hurricane won both meetings last season, 60-56, in Tulsa on Jan. 18 and 73-69, in New Orleans on Feb. 25.
The game will be broadcast live on Cox Sports Television with Tim Grubbs and Victor Howell calling the action. As always, the game can be heard on the Tulane IMG Sports Network with Todd Graffaginini behind the mic.
Tulane travels to Memphis for a rare Tuesday night conference tilt with the Tigers in FedEx Forum. The game is slated for a 7 p.m. tip on SportsSouth television.

Though technical difficulties delayed his start, they proved to be no match for [artist id="2545682″]Drake[/artist], as the Toronto lyricist powered through a raucous version of "Over" at the 2010 MuchMuch Awards in his hometown on Sunday night.
When [artist id="2408193″]Miley Cyrus[/artist] introduced the hip-hop star alongside hockey player Jonathan Toews, she flubbed more than a few words and said there were problems with her cue card as she eventually tossed to Drake's performance. And then Drizzy himself experienced a few snags prior to beginning his set. Viewers at home saw the audience of teen girls screaming for a few awkward minutes as Drake stood on the stage in the middle of a closed-off street and waited for the problem to be fixed.
The show's staff appeared unprepared to handle the delay. Fortunately, the production picked back up quickly after a commercial break. And when Drake finally performed, the hometown hero delivered like Kobe Bryant in the clutch.
"I know way too many people here right now/ That I didn't know last year/ Who the f— are y'all," Drake began "Over" at last. "I swear it feels like the last few nights/ We been everywhere, babe/ But I just can't remember it all."
In addition to taking the stage, Drake also scored two awards, winning Hip-Hop Video of the Year and Cinematography of the Year for "Successful" (featuring Trey Songz) , which, incidentally was shot in Toronto.
Fellow Canadian Justin Bieber, who walked the red carpet with Drake, bested the rapper in the hardware department as the teen star's "Baby," featuring Ludacris, earned UR FAVE Video, UR FAVE Artist, and International Video of the Year by a Canadian.
Miley Cyrus took home the International Video of the Year for her "Party in the U.S.A." clip, and the Jonas Brothers scored the same award in the group category for their "Paranoid."
Cyrus, Bieber and Katy Perry also rocked the stage, with Perry delivering an oozing rendition of her "California Gurls," where she pranced around in a cropped red sequin top and matching blue booty shorts.
Adam Lambert, Hedley and Billy Talent were also among the night's big winners; each scored multiple nods.

This is a photographical autobiography that focuses on a specific time and place in my life. The 15 page preview you will see on this website (book is 42 pages) contains most of the text in the piece, the rest is mostly imagery. The subject in the images (me, dressed in slacks and a tie) depicted in the work represents an older "self" as he examines, relives and remembers his younger "self". I hope it inspires you to smile and laugh and that you experience the work as I did when I created it. If you think about your past at all through the viewing of this book than it will have served it's purpose.
Thank You,
Andrew Krause
I am a High School Football Coach from Tucson, AZ. I study photography at the University of Arizona. My work mainly focuses on self portrait, self examination and humorous, true, untrue and sometimes absurd, narrative. I can't paint, draw, sculpt or write, so I focus on communication through a visual narrative. The stories I tell exist everywhere, in every walk of life, in everyone. I like to think that I don't "create" anything. These stories, concepts and ideas exist in everyone, in our culture, I just do the illustrations. The "art" in my work is the attempt to make a connection with the viewer through an illustration of a common ground that I believe exists between myself and the viewing audience.

What I Care to See
By Stephane Morrell
A Knights Tale
I went into this movie with a free pass and low expectations. From the way the trailers were assembled, I was fully expecting a "jocky" film in the guise of a medieval jousting competition. And at a certain level, it still retains a little bit of that old triumphant football movie. But it does not take itself too seriously, inserting some light comic relief that is funny without being inappropriate and ruining the story. The film is about William Thatcher, a knight's squire, seeking out his lifelong dream of becoming a knight by posing as one and entering into royal jousting competitions. He takes along his two lifelong friends and along the way they meet a very charismatic writer with a gambling problem to make a "fake ID" for him.
If there is one thing that was annoying about the movie, it was anachronistic soundtrack. When watching a movie with a medieval setting, one does not expect to hear the sounds of Queen's "We Will Rock You" or David Bowie's "Golden Years", and great as those tracks are, they didn't fit with the atmosphere of the film. Even worse, when the crowd at a jousting competition stomps and claps to the famous Queen song and guards and peasants can be seen mouthing the words.
But all that aside, the story not only revolves around his wanting to be a knight, but also his romancing one of the local noble ladies ( of course ). The romance was approached in a very non overly syrupy way that fit just right into the story without letting it take over completely. In fact, for a chunk of the movie, they are for all intents and purposes "broken up" and you don't see her at all.
Of course, the film is packed with armor busting, heels-over-head jousting action, a villainous opponent you love to hate, men on horses, British accents, hundreds of dirty peasants packing mud, a prodigal son, and LOTS of splintered wood.
Besides, who doesn't get a warm feeling inside from men rushing on horses trying to spear each other off of horses?
Animation has always been an underrated medium, often dismissed as children's entertainment. When people think of animation, the words Disney, saturday morning and after school come up. But the truth is that it's a medium that supports something for everyone; from the Japanese creating wonders like Graveyard of the Fireflies and Akira, to the great American Classic "Heavy Metal", to the simply heartwarming Iron Giant. Animation is something that people should face as an art on it's own, used to depict things that might be hard to depict with live actors. But you're reading The Collector Times now, so I probably don't have to tell YOU this.
Shrek is one of those "something for everyone" kinds of films. It's a true family classic. With enough laughs for young and old. Only a small level of "gas" oriented jokes, but well placed so that it doesn't just become crude and disgusting. Shrek explores the adventure of an misunderstood Ogre who's resolved himself to be what people make him out to be: a Big Mean Ogre who guards his swamp with vicious cunning. But as the lord of the land starts to flush out all of the "fairy tale creatures," they all end up in "his" swamp. Unable to get rid of them, the angry ogre heads to Lord Farquaad ( Be creative with the pronunciation ) to demand his swamp back. And so the adventure begins, without going into ruining the storyline too much.
The movie was a fun, well animated spectacle, and Mike Myers was great as the title character, it was a good idea that he go back and replace his original voice work with his signature fake Scottish accent. It really worked for the character. Eddie Murphy was simply hilarious as Shrek's unwanted donkey sidekick and you could just see John Lithgow saying the lines for Lord Farquaad because the character was so well suited to him ....
The story line takes a couple of predictable turns, as well as an ending that is less surprising than I think they intended it to be. But all in all, it was a fun film for animation fans of all ages. And NO singing animal numbers.

|Dressage Canada Redirects all Web Users to Official Website
|| Print |
March 11, 2010 – Dressage Canada has shut down the website, www.dressagecanada.org, redirecting visitors to the official site, equinecanada.ca/dressage. While the official website was launched in late 2008, many members were still using the .org website.
The discontinued www.dressagecanada.org site was designed and maintained free of charge for the past ten years by Outrageous Creations, a web and graphic design company based in Newmarket, ON.

Acquisitions are common, so companies with no recent listings may still be developing games under a new name. For example, DMA Design currently has a Rockstar name.

"Inadvertent Fledging"
Just before 6 pm this evening (June 2nd) Eaglet HE - the youngest of the three was hop-flying across the nest. This is typical behavior for young eagles and allows them to strengthen their flight muscles as they get closer to fledging. The eaglet overshot the rim of the nest slightly and dangled by its talons for a short time before releasing and dropping from the nest
Garden visitors watched the young eagle spread its wings and glide a short distance away from the nest. Biologists with CCB and VDGIF responded along with Norfolk Botanical Garden personnel. CCB & NBG staff were able to capture the young bird without incident. The bird is unharmed.
VDGIF & CCB biologists will return the bird to the nest tomorrow morning. Nuckols Tree Care will again volunteer their services to assist us. If all goes according to plan the bird will remain in the nest for a week or more - gaining the strength it needs to successfully take its first flight.
