Most of us adore those cute boys in uniform, which is why we probably love the Tweed Trim Tee ($26). This casually chic tee is military inspired with lightly cinched shoulders and a contrasting tweed pattern trim. It's also adorned with metallic dome buttons and the white & pink color combo makes it quite girly.

In the first match of the afternoon, Niagara jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first set but MSU claimed 22 of the next 27 points to take a commanding 25-13 victory. Freshman Chelsea Duhs led the way with six of her nine kills in the set.
The second set was no different as NU managed to keep to the match tied until it reached five all. State rattled off another run – this time 6-0 – to take an 11-5 advantage. The Purple Eagles struggled to keep up and eventually fell 25-17.
MSU could never put a run together in the third set but managed to hold momentum throughout for a 25-21 victory. Senior Dani McCree notched five of her season-high 11 kills in the set.

Kaitlyn Schoeppner, Kelsey Stommes and Katlyn Mataya all made their career debuts on the afternoon.
The Bulldogs' pace fell off early in the second match of the day as Wofford stole the first set 25-23. MSU fell behind from the first point of the game and good never regain traction. The Terriers largest lead came at 6-3 and State managed to tie it at 16. Wofford pulled ahead for good soon thereafter.
Mississippi State reset the tone of the match in the second set. After back-to-back points from Wofford out a timeout to cut the Bulldogs' lead to 14-13, MSU used a Duhs kill to ignite an 11-0 run and won the second set 25-13.
State thwarted a comeback attempt by the Terriers in the third set and wasted no time in the fifth with a dominating 25-8 victory.

In some huge WWE news, the WWE has fired former world champion Alberto Del Rio for allegedly slapping a WWE.com reporter at this week's television tapings. According to PWS on Thursday, the WWE fired Del Rio after the wrestler exchanged words with another WWE employee and then the slap occurred. The news then came later that the employee was a WWE.com reporter.
This news is very surprising. WWE.com is not a news site with journalistic integrity and normally just publishes articles that the WWE wants to promote their storylines and some minor behind-the-scenes information. While names like Joey Styles works for the site, the editorial process of the site is almost 100 percent pro-WWE. What could have led the reporter and Del Rio to come to blows is anyone's guess.
The original news broke when the WWE posted that they released Del Rio for "unprofessional conduct and an altercation with an employee." It wasn't a big surprise and probably didn't bother Del Rio that much because he planned on leaving when his contract was up anyway. However, there is also a chance that he will not be able to work anywhere with television access for 90 days.
Most WWE employees work under a contract that stipulates that they can't appear anywhere else for a specific time. This is a 90-day no compete clause and counts for television shows, Internet events and the such. The interest is there at this time for Del Rio to move to TNA Impact Wrestling or return for the new AAA television show that will premiere in America on the El Ray Network.
If he has the 90-day no compete clause, he won't be able to appear until November. Interestingly, with the way that TNA Impact Wrestling tapes their shows two months ahead of time, he could appear at the next television tapings, which won't air until late October or early November anyway. In other WWE news, there are other sources for PWS who believe that there was something else leading up to the firing and this was the final nail in his coffin.

Daytona Fl – For years Presidential candidates have used The Great American Race, also known as the Daytona 500 for spreading their candidacy to further audiences. Today Mitt Romney will be attending the race, but he will be out done by Rick Santorum who has his own car in the race.
Santorum has sponsored the #26 car to be driven by Tony Raines and owned by Front Row Motorsports. Not unlike the Presidential Candidate the car will be starting from the back, 42nd position to be exact. But can the car zip to the front just as Brave Christian soldier Santorum has?
We will find out today.
"NASCAR and the Daytona 500 are about as American as you can get, and it's great to have my campaign represented by one of these incredible machines," Santorum said in a release. "The race weekend is a wonderful tradition that we're excited to be a part of as we spread our message. I like how Tony Raines turned some heads last weekend with his qualifying run, and we'd like to keep turning heads, too. I think we're both looking for a win in the end."

31 weeks and pain in abdomen
I am just about 31 weeks and having bad pain in my lower abdomen. It almost feels like I am bruised from the inside. The pain is there almost all the time, I am not sure if its him kicking me or not all I know is that it hurts really bad. Last time I went to the doctors (last week) he said that his head was already down, is it possible that maybe he switched positions and the pain I feel is him kicking me or could this be something more serious??

Another wonderful video from Close Up Concepts. They successfully combine sensuous bondage with fabulous execution by a true Master of the art, Bryan Davis.

16:23, UK, Friday 07 July 2006
A video of one of the London bombers speaking before the attack has been aired on the eve of the 7/7 atrocity. Scotland Yard has criticised its timing.
The video, published on an al Qaeda website, features Shehzad Tanweer and a new statement from al Qaeda's deputy leader Ayman al Zawahiri.
Tanweer, 22, speaking with a Yorkshire accent, is seen in the video wearing a Muslim headscarf and jabbing his finger at the camera.
"What have you witnessed now is only the beginning of a string of attacks that will continue and become stronger until you pull your forces out of Afghanistan and Iraq and until you stop your financial and military support to America and Israel," he says.
Al Zawahri praises Tanweer, saying: "He studied physical fitness at university and he had a passion for boxing.
"Even though he was from a well-off family, his clothes and appareance didn't show that."
The video, aired on the news channel al Jazeera, is the second released by the bombers.
The Metropolitan Police's Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman said the release "can only cause maximum hurt and distress" to the bereaved families.
A videotape of Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, the suspected ringleader of the attack, was released by al Qaeda in September.
Khan blamed the British public for the attacks, saying they voted in a Government that attacked Muslims.
Thursday is the first anniversary of the attacks, in which 52 people were murdered in four bomb attacks on London's transport system.
The degree of al Qaeda involvement in the attacks remains unclear and under investigation, according to a parliamentary intelligence and security committee report released in May.
But the release of the second tape suggests that al Qaeda had a significant role in the attacks.
Tanweer and Khan both visited Pakistan, where it was likely they had contact with al Qaeda figures, and some operational training, the parliamentary report said.
They may have even filmed their video testaments there.

The Slow and the Fast
When my traveling partner and I decided to go to Thailand, we opted to first stay for a week at a five-star spa resort on the island of Koh Samui. We wanted to slow down and have everything within reach before maneuvering through Bangkok's shopping, attractions and sidewalk vendors.
It was a wise decision. After 24 hours of travel, I fell asleep while being massaged in an open air pavilion overlooking the Gulf of Thailand. Kamalaya Wellness Sanctuary and Holistic Spa is an amazingly beautiful architectural feat, with villas and other structures built on a rocky hillside covered with lush tropical trees and flowers. There are 60 villas and rooms tucked among banana and palm trees. I stood on the porch of our villa and watched the early morning mist roll away to showcase the blue mountains in the distance.
Neither the private beach nor the two-level pool was ever crowded or noisy. The only sounds I heard, generally were the occasional cawing of an exotic bird or the sweet melodies of a small, steel drum instrument played by a New Zealand musician who planted himself in various spots around the property.
At Kamalaya, you can choose to do as much or as little as you want. I met European vacationers who came just for the spectacular view, the renowned and healthy cuisine and the personal attention delivered with such sincerity that each gesture is memorable.
Shortly after arriving, we were led to the Wellness Sanctuary for a brief physical examination. We had already filled out more extensive forms and emailed them. A consultant helped us choose a health program. My girlfriend Earni chose the "Ideal Weight" program, which meant in addition to a menu of massages she worked out with a trainer. I wanted total relaxation, so I chose "Asian Bliss," a week of massages with time for lounging at the beach. I also took Tai Chi and stretch classes, spent time with a meditation instructor and visited an acupuncturist. Both Earni and I decided Kamalaya was a perfect place to return to with a group of girlfriends. We could all have our personal routines, then meet at the beach, shower and have dinner at sunset in the restaurant overlooking the Gulf.
The service by the mostly Thai staff was impeccable yet unobtrusive. When I sat on a veranda in the afternoon heat, mesmerized by the sparkling white sands, deep blue waters and mountains, a woman quietly appeared and offered me a damp, chilled towel. At sunset as I lounged on a chaise suspended from another pavilion's ceiling, a man gingerly placed a glass of cold lemongrass tea on the table next to me.
Our villa had a luxurious outdoor bathroom. The overhang of the roof covered most of it but I could look up at the shower head and see the blue sky and tops of palm trees. Great respect is paid to nature at Kamalaya. In some cases buildings were constructed around a large tree or boulder. Steps are chiseled into rocks beside the winding walkways. My acupuncturist stepped onto a large boulder to get to his desk.
"It keeps me grounded," he laughed.
Most buildings are not fully enclosed, so that you always have a view of the beautiful grounds. There are vignettes everywhere: Walking into the breakfast pavilion, we see a cauldron of lotuses; walking a path we see large pottery holding floating water lilies.
We left the grounds one day to visit a bar and restaurant and a beach on the other side of the island. My traveling companion also insisted we ride an elephant so we called a taxi and went to Namuang Safari Park. Today, I'm glad to say, "I have ridden an elephant," but every smile I flashed for photos was a fake, an attempt to mask my fear and my concern for the elephant. It was a half hour ride that seemed like two days to me. Still, it's a popular tourist attraction on the island.
When it was time to head for Bangkok, just over an hour's flight away, we regretted we had not made reservations to stay longer at Kamalaya. Earni lost four pounds; I shed at least four pounds in worries and anxiety.
While Koh Samui was a tropical paradise, Bangkok was all urban bustle. We stayed at the Park Plaza Sukhumvit, because of its convenient location near a Sky Train stop and its rooftop pool offering spectacular views of the skyline. The hotel was chic and trendy""think boutique""but the room, especially the bathroom was a bit small for two. We considered moving a couple of blocks down the street to the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, A Luxury Collection Hotel which we checked out. But we decided to hit the streets for our next adventure instead. We did go to the Sheraton one evening for drinks and a jazz set and were surprised to find the vocalist was from Cincinnati.
If there's a hotel chain you love, Bangkok probably has it. In addition to the Sheraton, try the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok, the Grand Hyatt Erawan, the Banyan Tree Bangkok or the lebua at State Tower, a member of Preferred Hotels. Many of the hotels also have proper English afternoon tea. If you have tea at the Mandarin Oriental you can sit on the terrace outside and watch the boats on the Chao Phraya River. The elegant Shangri-La Hotel is also riverside and has a great Sunday "High Tea Buffet" with a brass band and dance floor.
The best way to get around the city is public transportation, as even a cab driver told us. The overhead Sky Train and the underground subway are both easy to navigate.
We visited the Grand Palace, built in 1782, still called home to the royal family, though they now live in newer, air-conditioned housing. It's a complex of buildings adorned with gold and intricate bejeweled mosaics. Most popular and revered is the Emerald Buddha, which is really made of jade. You have to dress appropriately--no shorts for men, no sleeveless or short dresses for women. But be forewarned, scammers will try to sell or rent you clothes just outside the palace. Pass them by. Inside the complex, you can receive a shirt, sarong or whatever you need by leaving a deposit that is returned when you bring back the article of clothing.
One way to get to the Grand Palace is on a long tail boat, which you have to ride just for the fun of it anyway. We rented a boat and driver to cruise the river for an hour. We passed through a floating market with vendors selling their wares from canoes. It was so peaceful to lie back and catch a steady breeze while seeing the city from another perspective. Another time, we took a tour ferry that allowed us to jump on and off at shopping complexes and tourist sites.
Good food is everywhere in Bangkok. We weren't afraid to eat off the streets. In fact, we prefer what we consider the "real food". The vendors are ingenuous and have all kinds of cooking apparatuses made into their carts. If you prefer fancier fare, the Banyan Tree hotel has several good restaurants but the one that everyone talks about is the Vertigo Grill and Moon Bar. Here the sky is your roof, as you dine perched 61 stories above the city. The views are breathtaking, but I'm not a lover of such heights so I found Long Table, a restaurant and bar on the 25th floor of the Column condominiums, more to my liking. There's inside dining but even when I sat outside there was a roof overhead and I was looking across rather than down at skyscrapers.
One of the best things we did was to take a cooking class at Isan House Thai Cooking School. We cooked three dishes each, including two curries, a steamed sea bass, and green papaya salad. Then we ate and our instructor, Tor, took us to the market to buy some ingredients that we could carry back on the plane. It was a pleasant day. We enjoyed Tor's company and her talking about her life. The food was magnificent and she gave us copies of the recipes, which I am still happily using.
Before heading home, we wanted to see the red light district called Soi Cowboy. It's a tourist attraction also and we thought we might even find a decent bar outside bar where we could sit and stare. We had also been told it was a block of neon signs and 40 plus bars and restaurants. We were disappointed; the area was more like a crowded alley rather than a street and we never found a bar to visit.
You can't run out of things to do in Bangkok. Ask your concierge about entertainment. We caught a concert at the Bangkok Jazz Festival, which was going on the week we were there in the city. Shopping is a joy. We went to a mall that was seven stories high! In the Central Retail District, reached by Sky Train, Central Department Store offered designer fashions. I found more European designers at Zen, a trendy mega-store where I bought an unusual couture jacket and my girlfriend bought a dress.
By the time we boarded the plane to head home, all I could think of was that I had ridden on a "taxi" motorcycle, clinging to the driver's waist; I had zoomed around Bangkok in an open air taxi nicknamed a "Tut-tut" while my girlfriend, who so desperately wanted to ride the elephant, gripped me and the side of the cab. I had cruised along the river in a long tail boat and ridden the subway and the Sky Train. Surely, I said to myself, the return trip home with its two flights and 21 hours in the air would be a cinch now, made easier by the sweet, sweet memories of two weeks of adventure.

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 in their first game of the 2014 Grapefruit League season on Wednesday led behind a first inning home run by RF Jose Bautista.
The team scattered eight hits in the game which was later called off due to rain following just over two hours of play.
Bautista, who homered to left-field on a 2-0 count in the third AB of the game, went 1-2 overall with two runs scored and a walk.
While pinch-hitting for Rasmus, Moises Sierra tripled in the first and LF Melky Cabrera, 1B Edwin Encarnacion, CF Colby Rasmus, and 2B Chris Getz all chipped in with hits.
Pitcher J.A. Happ allowed two runs, four hits, and one walk while striking out three in one inning of work.
R.A. Dickey will take the mound on Thursday against Phillies starter Cliff Lee. Dickey will be followed by Esmil Rogers, Dustin McGowan, Brett Cecil, Aaron Loup, Jeremy Jeffress, Rob Rasmussen and Marcus Walden, MLB.com's Todd Zolecki reported.

Bernard gallacher defibrillator campaign
Learn more about our campaign with the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) to support the placement of public-access defibrillators at golf clubs across the UK to ensure that everyone has access to life-saving equipment in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.
In August 2013, former Ryder Cup captain, Bernard Gallacher collapsed during a dinner at a hotel on the outskirts of Aberdeen.
Bernard had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. Fortunately, the hotel had a defibrillator. Thanks to the immediate action of staff with CPR and early live-saving shocks from a defibrillator, he survived. He then went on to make a full recovery and has had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fitted to prevent further cardiac arrests.
Many others are not as fortunate. Each year 100,000 people die from sudden cardiac arrest in the UK, causing more deaths than lung cancer, breast cancer and AIDs combined. CPR and early defibrillation with an AED (automated external defibrillator) can increase sudden cardiac arrest survival from 5% to over 50%.
Drawing on his own personal experience, in partnership with the Professional Golfers' Association and Arrhythmia Alliance, Bernard decided to launch the Bernard Gallacher Defibrillator campaign to support the placement of public-access defibrillators at golf clubs across the UK to ensure that everyone has access to life-saving equipment in the event of a sudden cardiac arrest.
Figures published in a recent survey identified that there were more than 3,000 golf courses and a further 840 independent driving ranges across the UK. These serve more than 4 million people. Currently just 30% of golf clubs have a defibrillator.
It is hoped that thanks to the Bernard Gallacher Defibrillator Campaign every golf club in the UK will have access to a public-access defibrillator by the end of 2016.

Wentworth Club, Monday 16 December 2013
Arrhythmia Alliance was proud to join the PGA, European Tour and Play Golf at the launch of the Bernard Gallacher Defibrillator campaign, held at Wentworth, home of the Professional Golf Association (PGA).
Following a sudden cardiac arrest at a dinner reception in August 2013, Bernard's life was saved thanks to the prompt actions of a medic in the audience and use of the clubs on-site defibrillator. Bernard and his family were all together for the launch of the campaign which aims to encourage every golf course to join the campaign and ensure at least one defibrillator is available at each golf course across Great Britain and Ireland by the end of 2014.
Also at the launch was TV personality, and long term friend of the Gallacher's, Sir Bruce Forsyth. Speaking at the event Sir Bruce said: "This issue is so important, affecting so many people, of all ages, and at any time. The work of Arrhythmia Alliance in helping people to understand what a sudden cardiac arrest is, and how the use of something so small and inexpensive as an AED can help to save lives, is critical. Everyone needs to know the difference they can make having access to, and using, a defibrillator."
Presenting an outline of the charity's work to the audience of over 100 invited guests, Deputy CEO, Jo Jerrome said: "We have been overwhelmed with the interest and offers of support shown at the event. It is important that AEDs are recognised as a vital part of essential life saving equipment and all public areas should have fast and 24/7 access. We are very much looking forward to working with the PGA and clubs across the country as the campaign picks up pace in the New Year. Bernard and Lesley's passion for the campaign shone through and I'm certain we can help to save more lives in the future."
Over four million people attend one of the country's 3000 golf clubs each year, but currently only a third of these have an on-site defibrillator. It is estimated that over 100,000 people a year die as a result of sudden cardiac arrest.
To get involved with the campaign, please make your donation or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

So far all we know about the third season of BBC's Sherlock are three words: "Rat. Wedding. Bow." It's not much to go on, but it's plenty to get excited about.
It turns out that not even the actors involved — or those that could be involved — know what's going to be happening in the hit drama's next three episodes.
"I have no idea," Lara Pulver, who played Irene Adler in the first episode of Season 2, told reporters at New York Comic Con before she burst out laughing. "We start shooting in January, Season 3. They're writing the episodes — three episodes — as we speak. I have no idea if she'll stay as a one-episode wonder or whether she'll return for the final season."
"A Scandal in Belgravia" was nominated for an Emmy, but ended up losing to HBO's Game Change. Pulver said that, in this case, she expected the overwhelmingly positive response to the episode and her character.
"It's the first time I've then watched something and it's exceeded my expectation of what the finished product is. And that's not me being a pessimistic kind of actor who's like, 'Oh, God, I don't know why I did that.' I'm talking visually, the story; it just worked so well," said the actress, who was at the convention to promote the new Starz drama Da Vinci's Demons. "The relationship between Benedict [Cumberbatch] and I just seemed to work really well, and it was fun from the get-go. We had so much fun, so it was an absolute pleasure to do that job, and it was a gift of a role."
Sherlock is expected to return to PBS in fall 2013.
Wait, final season? Is that right or did she just miss speak?
Kind of misleading headline, don't you think? More accurately, it should be "Lara Pulver Doesn't KNOW If She'll Return For Sherlock Season 3″.
Double checked, and it is what she said. She might have misspoken, or she just let loose a big spoiler.
Returns fall of 2013???? What in the world takes them so long to make three episodes!!!! Argh. Great show!
Well Gatiss and Moffat are busy men, Moffat on Doctor Who which is gearing up for it's 50th anniversary next year and Gatiss has a few other shows he writes fo and is a working actor as well, Cumberbatch and Freeman are off filming th Hobbit and Star trek…
i hope that she just miss spoke because if season 3 will be the final season i'll be sad
Would it be that big of a spoiler? They've already hit most of the well-known bits of Holmes lore. I couldn't see the series running for much more than another 3 episodes. And I realize there are plenty of stories they could still adapt, but they've clearly picked over what they wish to use.
The fact that she said "we sart filming season 3″, along with her knowing whats going on with the writing prcess and mentioning its the final season all indicates she is being included on the development of the series which wouldnt be likely if they had no future plans for her. Besides i think shes playing coy, trying not to give anything away.

#4 looks pretty cool to me :)
Marzijapan · 2012-07-28: 20:49
I like the next to last one. Much better than I could do Marjorie!!
liveandletlive · 2012-07-28: 21:46
LOL! I don't even have wine glasses.... They went into the dishwasher with my oldest son's marbles!!!
I may buy something and try this Monday.
#4 is closer to success in challenge, though the last one is beautiful out of subject :)
I don't know what happened at #3 scene!
Shaparak · 2012-07-28: 23:05
LMAO! I set my self-timer to 3 consecutive shots, and most of mine were like yours. (Now, I wonder...are olives fruits? They must be. Surely they're not vegetables?) Anyway, I am greatly amused by all of this, M. Great work.
Keryl · 2012-07-28: 23:21
well you certainly are farther ahead than I am, for sure!!! love your sequence :) did you do the lighting part too?
beth0110 · 2012-07-29: 00:46
Ah ah !! je veux essayer moi aussi, et j'imagine que je vais y passer un bon moment !!! malgré tout je vous "tire mon chapeau" !!
maudlaurens · 2012-07-29: 03:31
After seeing many of these challenges posted, it is yours I admire most for showing the process warts an all.... P.s Congrats on achieving that sought after "Splash" :)
????? · 2012-07-29: 04:03
I knew you could do it
SkyMonroe · 2012-07-29: 06:56
The first thing I realized is that I have no clear glass containers. None. I have young children, maybe that's why. I briefly considered the fish tank, but thought the poor goldfish wouldn't appreciate being relocated because of the creative whim of the one who feeds him. Selfish fish.
continuing reading....
I have young children, which means I also have wine glasses <-- LOL, what the hell? do they drink wine too? GOSH kitchen bitch I can't believe!! (by the way my brother calls me Ricky fuckin' bitch so we are equal on the bitch thing) I am a wine producer and I can't drink it can you believe!? yuck! tho, if i could, i'd send you a nice bootle of Portuguese wine and you'd see what amazing wine it is! ;)))
well continue reading...
grape tomatoes...gosh...I don't have those here, and yeap tomatoes are fruits, most of people don't know it :))) you're effing smart! :D
continue reading...
Set up camera, set up glass, set up tomatoes..... how hard could this be?
A: FUCKIN' HARD, and a lot of water dropping out! I can tell it, and my brother as well, well I was faster than him, but he took 2 or 3 days to have a ''decent'' shot. gosh, don't tell anyone but my mother doesn't know we did it, but we flooded our kitchen LOL
continuing reading now and watching the shots....
Rim shots? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
continuing watching....
well at least you didn't break the glass...still...I think I'd enjoy seeing you mad after breaking one and your husband would be mad at you and your kids would laugh because if they are like me they will love the sound of breaking glasses! LOL (i'm still a kid ya know!)
last shot really fooled me! When I saw it in small I'd say It was water and the fruit in up!REALLY TRICKED ME!! effin' glass!
wine glasses should be single ... are there married glasses? let me know
I think I woke up with dark humor! lol
onlyricky · 2012-07-29: 07:06
Timing was great on the last two. Have you tried the rapid advance (i.e. 3-4 frames per sec ??)
thepictureman · 2012-07-29: 09:12
I like the fourth shot Marjorie. It got me to thinking about garnishes for drinks and splashes and .... heck... I could use a wine glass with a splash of lemon and some Grand Marnier and... forget about the camera altogether and just drink the stuff. Maybe I'll try with water and fruit another day. I like the idea.
stabeez · 2012-07-29: 10:27
You got some pretty cool shots, I think !!!
GoBlues · 2012-07-29: 13:19
Very nice!
????? · 2012-07-29: 23:10
Hahhaha great post and comments :) and you need lots of LUCK!
You got a great result :)
EvaLizette · 2012-07-31: 05:36
At least you tried. ;-))
Ryana · 2012-07-31: 12:24
i like it, and as Sandra mentioned, at least you tried, and that's the main thing!!!
????? · 2012-07-31: 17:28
Je suis en train d'essayer, chère amie, et je peux dire que ce n'est pas une chose facile....J'espère pouvoir poster bientôt ....lol
maudlaurens · 2012-08-01: 08:21
LOVE #3 and your narrative is too funny as to why you do and don't have the type of glasses you need! Great work!
lukesmom · 2012-08-01: 09:59
haha cool shots. i've never tried anything like this before. i like how they turned out though, especially the fourth photo.
i don't understand the correlation between having children and having wine glasses.... e.e

Colorado Shooting, Movie Theater Security
SMIRK OF THE BATMAN PSYCHO... WHY DID HE DO IT? Ph.D. student in neuroscience... 'Always Rooted For Bad Guys' In Superhero Movies... 'Really smart'... Struggled to find work... Collecting unemployment... 'No one knew him; No one'... 'Made some racially charged comments about rap'... Left loud music playing in his apartment... Had 'swagger'... TMZ: Cops Investigating Sex Site Profile... Photos: Gas mask and assault rifle left at cinema... LIVE UPDATES... Director Nolan condemns as 'savage' and 'appalling'... Largest mass shooting in U.S. history...
As news of the Colorado shooting continues to weigh heavily on the nation, big questions arise about movie theater safety as well as other public venues. Already, theories abound about a possibility of this being a 'inside scheme' for Obama to pass a UN gun control law, while others are turning the debate into a TEA Party gun nut issue. Whatever political thoughts may be, now is not the time for politicking or getting into a frenzy.
Think about it like this. America is relatively safe. The fact that a horrendous shooting where 12 people are killed is rare and makes the nation pause is not a bad thing. It shows that in a nation with over 300 million people, who are not herded like cattle and kept under the boot of authority whereever we may FREELY roam, shows that there is a civic evolution in this country.
There will always be outliers to the norm. If you take away guns, a psychotic killer will poison the water supply, taint the grains, grab a sword and wreck havoc or try to start massive fires. The fact that people are already willing to give away their rights so quickly, inviting TSA styled scanners to be installed in private businesses, wanting a mandatory 'no dressing up in public' rule established, just goes to prove guys like Matt Parker and Tray Stone's creation of an idiotic, reactive American town in South Park is truly a microcosm of our current personality as a society.
We need to grow the hell up and realize things like this will happen. Call up people in the UK, Middle East or any other older nation: their history has been plagued with psycopaths. Some people are simply evil.
This is a time to feel compassion for the victims and deal with the facts, not point-fingers at the NRA or let Admiral Fascism Bogart freedom that should never be taken away or owned by those who would dare try.

Best browser out there. Oh, it only uses more resources than IE because IE is integrated in windows, therefore, IE uses all the resources that windows ues :p, it is slower for the same reason, it isn't integrated, but, it isn't a security hole, plus, it isn't made by microsoft, double plus, and it is much cooler, too cool to use with windows, switch to LINUX you fools! And drop the mac off in a dumpster on the way. Peace!

From Grand Theft Wiki
- This article is about the car. For the manufacturer of the same name, see Willard (manufacturer).
The Willard is a four-door car that is available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, as well as in Grand Theft Auto IV. The car was featured in the third trailer for GTA IV, Move Up, Ladies, as a chase car driven by loan sharks.
It resembles a 1988–1993 Dodge Dynasty in San Andreas, and in GTA IV it strongly resembles a 1986 Buick LeSabre with nothing appearing altered except the the taillights (which might be influenced by another car), or a 1990-1993 Chrysler Imperial without Pop-up head lights. In San Andreas, the car has an average top speed, but it suffers from understeer.
In San Andreas, the car is usually found in Los Santos.
In GTA IV, it's usually found around Dukes, but rarely you can encounter it.

Grandma's Mackerel
Total Time: 20
Yield: 6 servings
This dish was my mother's favorite part of Grandma's Christmas Eve dinner. I use Spanish mackerel, but Boston (Atlantic) will work fine; add a few minutes to the baking time for the thicker filets.

- 1-1/2 pounds mackerel filets, pin bones removed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced to a paste or put through a press
- Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Pecorino cheese
- 1/4 cup (packed) minced parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Instructions:Heat oven to 450°. Place fish in a single layer in an oiled casserole dish. Rub garlic into fish and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, cheese, and parsley; sprinkle over fish. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar; spoon over fish.
Bake 15 minutes; some of the crumbs will be browned and the pan will be crackling. Remove pan from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Infertility 7 Days a Week, 365 Days a Year
Infertility is a 7 day a week specialty. Inseminations, IVF egg retrievals, embryo transfers have to be done at the correct time or results will be compromised. At the Florida Institute for Reproductive Medicine our team of four physicians, four embryologists and ten infertility nurses allow us to provide comprehensive care 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Unlike many infertility practices, we have regular hours on both Saturday and Sunday. Our office hours begin at 7:00 a.m. at all three of our Jacksonville and Daytona offices. We do not "batch" IVF cycles for our convenience, but provide IVF care year round (the only time we don't do IVF is the last two weeks of December to go over incubators).

For sell: gorgeous, romantic fit-and-flare wedding gown.
About the dress: I am THAT bride, I bought a sample dress because it was perfect, but then I found another perfect dress. Ah, I love this dress but I had to pick between two! I made the decision to sell the one I purchased (it was such a great deal). The dress is absolutely stunning on, especially the top which is very thinning (seriously!), the tulle is full + nice (personally I would remove the appliques which the seamstress said would be an easy fix, but my mom loved the appliques – all a matter of opinion).
The dress is a rare Annais AN13-014. I'm a size 8-10 and this is an 8. It has never been worn other than the two times I tried it on. It's really beautiful, I'm sad to see it go but know that someone else will love it and the great price! Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you are interested in this gem :)
- Alterations: No alterations - but I will say it will need hemmed, the tulle is long (but good for those tall bride-to-be ladies out there!)
- Preservation Method:
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Chicago, IL
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense
- Payment Methods Accepted: Other
Please read our BUYER'S GUIDE before purchasing a dress online.

I figured, this was it. Then the weirdest sound I'd ever heard echoed through the basement. It was like a song or a chant, but in some other language.
The Viking heard it too, and froze. All life disappeared from its eyes and it was a statue again. Another figure appeared in the flashlight beam, and this one was shaped kind of like a bear.
"Is your friend all right?" Mr. Johanssen asked.
"He fainted," I managed to say.
"Let's get him to my office," Mr. Johanssen said, kneeling down and picking up Brian like he was a doll. "Shine the light ahead of me."
"What was that thing?" I croaked as we walked through the darkness.
"It was found buried when they were digging the foundation for this school," Mr. Johanssen answered. "And if I'm right, it sailed to this continent a thousand years before that."
A thousand years?
We were in his office now, and I was glad to see light. He set Brian down on a beat-up old couch.
"But that thing was made of wood!" I said. "How can it move?"
Mr. Johanssen went to a first aid kit on the wall and pulled some smelling salts out. "How indeed?" he said. "Legend tells us the Vikings were fiercer, braver, stronger and harder to stop than anyone else in history. Ever wonder why they were so tough? Maybe it's because they weren't really human at all. Maybe they were really warrior statues made of wood or stone and then brought to life through some kind of ancient Norse magic, magic that has been long forgotten... by most people."
Then he smiled at me in a really creepy way that made my skin crawl, and held the smelling salts under Brian's nose. Brian came to, coughing.
"Now then," Mr. Johanssen said, "I'll make a deal with you two. I won't tell the principal you were down here if you promise never to come back." We promised and then got out of there as fast as we could.
Brian remembered nothing about the Viking, and when I tried to tell him about it, he just looked at me like I was crazy. And frankly, I thought maybe I was, too, until one day a month or so later. I had stayed late for a band rehearsal and just as I was leaving the building, I saw Mr. Johanssen loading a piano into the freight elevator. Right before the elevator door closed, I noticed that someone was helping him.
Someone wearing a Viking helmet.

First Nick and Jessica, then Carmen and Dave — and now Travis and Shanna?
Times sure are tough for former MTV reality-show couples (see "Carmen Electra, Dave Navarro Separate After Three Years Of Marriage" and "It's Official: Jessica Simpson And Nick Lachey Split" ).
On Tuesday (August 8), a rep for Travis Barker confirmed that the former Blink-182 drummer has filed for divorce from onetime Miss USA Shanna Moakler, his wife of 22 months and his co-star on MTV's "Meet the Barkers."
"He filed this morning," Dvora Vener told MTV News. "I have no further comment."
The couple was married in October 2004, in a "Nightmare Before Christmas"-inspired wedding at the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara, California, and their nuptials (and subsequent wedded life) were broadcast over the airwaves on "Barkers," beginning in April 2005. Barker and Moakler dealt with familial dilemmas like picking out furniture, accidentally ordering a $10,000 Christmas tree and pregnancy over the course of the show's two seasons.
Barker and Moakler have two children together, a son, Landon, 2, and a daughter, Alabama, 7 months. Moakler also has a daughter, 7-year-old Atiana, from a previous relationship with boxer Oscar de la Hoya.
Moakler posted a message to fans on her MySpace page that reads, in part, "I am very devastated and very much heartbroken over the demise of my marriage. … I wanted nothing more [than] to overcome the challenges we faced, but failed. … I still very much believe in the power of love."
The announcement of their split ends months of rumors that there was trouble brewing within the marriage. Most recently, the couple put their Bel-Air mansion on the market for $8.5 million.
Barker recently acknowledged the other major split in his life — that of his multiplatinum band Blink-182 — when he told MTV News about his latest project with Mark Hoppus, Plus-44 (see "Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker Break Plus-44 Silence, Talk 'The Real Tom' " ).

A Safety Valve for Lithium-Ion Batteries
By Michael Kanellos in Greentech Media, November 13 2009
The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) of Taiwan is coming out with something that may keep you from being consumed in a fireball.
The organization has developed an internal component for lithium-ion batteries called Stoba that shuts down the battery once the internal temperature passes a critical threshold, which in turn prevents a thermal runaway reaction (i.e., a fire) from occurring.

There is some good news for coffee drinkers. For those in the habit of drinking at least 2 cups per day, and are men aged 40 and above, you can take some cheer from recent research which shows that regular coffee consumption can reduce the risk of developing gout.
The June 2007 issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism Journal contains the report of a study conducted on over 45,869 men all aged over 40 who had no history of gout at the start of the study in 1986. The researchers then tracked all of the subjects to monitor if there was a relationship between the occurrence of gout and the consumption of coffee. As commonly observed, gout is especially likely to occur among men 40 years old and above.
The study concludes that the evidence strongly suggests that drinking four or more cups of coffee a day reduces the chances of developing gout for men. Coffee has been shown to have complex effects on the human body. For instance, coffee or certain substances found in coffee, appear to lower the levels of insulin and uric acid. Diabetics will not like the idea of lower insulin, but gout sufferers will welcome the thought of lower uric acid.
The research team developed a questionnaire that measured food-intake frequency. The consumption of coffee and total caffeine was monitored in the study. Participants answered the questionnaire every four years, and chose from 9 different responses for intake, ranging from no intake, to 2-4 cups a week, to 6-plus cups a day. This questionnaire thus recorded the consumption of beverages such as coffee, decaf coffee, tea and cola – all of which contain caffeine.
For comparison, another questionnaire also recorded the behaviour of 757 patients newly diagnosed for gout. From these data, among others, they calculated the relative risk of occurrence of gout among the coffee drinkers, divided into groups corresponding to average intake per day. In addition, other factors that contribute to the development of gout were documented, including: body mass index, to check for overweight; alcohol consumption; consumption of red meat and high-fat foods; and medical history including hypertension.
The most significant findings in the study showed that as coffee consumption increased, the likelihood of developing gout decreased. For instance, the probabilities were 40 percent less among men who consumed 4-5 cups per day but 59 percent less for those who finished 6 or more cups.
Tea and total caffeine consumption did not show any appreciable effect. This led researchers to speculate that caffeine was not the substance responsible for coffee's beneficial effects on preventing gout. It could be chlorogenic acid, a phenol compound in coffee that acts as a strong antioxidant, they said.
The researchers made clear that they are not recommending for individuals to start consuming more coffee. But it helps you develop a more informed choice about coffee and its consumption.
Gout Treatment
Gout is one of the most treatable forms of arthritis, and with proper treatment, you need not have any long-term consequences. Medications are available to relieve the pain and inflammation of acute bouts of gouty arthritis. For long-term care, you may need to take medications to treat the underlying metabolic disorder along with making such lifestyle changes as avoiding alcohol (primarily beer) and foods high in purines and increasing intake of dairy foods.
For reliable Gout treatment information, read Cure Gout Now; an easy to follow, comprehensively researched eBook by Lisa McDowell that shows you how to change your diet and gain control of your gout wth useful strategies that have been proven to improve health for people with gout.
Find out how Lisa, a long-suffering wife of a gout victim, challenged the uncaring drug companies and made a shocking discovery that cured her husband once and for all.

Proportionality: How To Control The Cost of E-Discovery
Posted on August 5, 2009 03:33
Jennifer Keadle Mason
Far too often, attorneys and clients embark on the journey of E-Discovery without a consideration as to how to limit E-Discovery in the first place.
Given the revisions to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
, the State Court Rules which have followed, and the cases dealing with the sanctions for failing to comply
, it is not surprising.
This article will outline why such an approach could be costing the insurance industry thousands of dollars, if not millions.
Electronic Discovery, often called E-Discovery, is the discovery of electronically stored information.
There is no question but that corporations and individuals in almost every claim/case will have some type of potentially relevant material stored on some type of electronic media (such as a computer, cell phone, or voicemail).
However, even though there is likely a source of relevant information, should every case result in unlimited E-Discovery or even some E-Discovery?
The answer is a resounding NO!
E-Discovery is costly.
Using current methodology, to preserve, process, review and produce 1 terabyte (TB) of data, or on the average 7,500,000 pages, it would cost $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.
Preservation alone can be expensive.
Each hard drive can cost between $300 to $450 to preserve.
Each backup tape can cost $350 to $450 to preserve.
Before going down this path, the first questions which should be asked are:
What must I do to protect the client?; and (2)
What methods can I use to limit the cost of E-Discovery while still maintaining a defensible preservation?
First, preservation requirements begin when a client knew or should have known that a potential claim exists.
It begins long before counsel hired by an insurance company is ever contacted.
Therefore, attorneys should advise their carriers and ongoing clients of this issue to protect them.
Second, if preservation must occur prior to a case being filed (and it must), what can a client do to limit the cost?
A client can a) Choose the proper method of preservation, b) Limit the production to potentially relevant sources, c) Determine Key Players and Time Frames of relevance, d) Exclude shared drives (if possible); e) Cull data to preserve only relevant material within any media source by using limited but educated search terms (although this culling process can add to initial preservation methods it may also reduce later review costs and should be considered if review appears to be likely), f) Get several
quotations from various qualified vendors to make sure you are getting the best price, and g) Retain qualified counsel to assist you with the preservation to make sure your plan is defensible.
Third, assuming E-Discovery has been ordered or is conducted by agreement, there are further methods to reduce the cost: a) Use Rule 502 to protect privileged material in Federal Cases, b) Offer a quick peek with a claw back provision and/or an "attorneys eyes only" agreement to
but not eliminate the level of "review" necessary, and c) use sampling to verify that relevant documents are being found with search terms and/or non-relevant documents are not being un-necessarily procured through the particular methodology chosen.
Reducing E-Discovery costs is a journey that begins with the understanding that, in light of the changes in our Rules, we must attack this issue rather than be subjected to it.
[1] Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 (f)(3)(C) now requires attorneys as early as the meet and confer conference (that is prior to the scheduling conference) to discuss "any issues about disclosure or discovery of electronically stored information, including the form or forms in which it should be produced".
Rule 34 (b)(2)(D) and (E) give specific guidance on how to respond to a request for Electronically Stored Information in Discovery and in what form it should be produced. Rule 37 (e) provides a safe harbor for circumstances in which ESI is lost as a result of the routine, good faith operation of a document retention policy.

The Joys of Motherhood
by Buchi Emecheta
The Joys of Motherhood Duty Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
"What do you want me to do?" Amatokwu asked. "I am a busy man. I have no time to waste my precious male seed on a woman who is infertile. I have to raise children for my line."....
"I will do my duty by you. I will come to your hut when my wife starts nursing her child. But now, if you can't produce sons, at least you can help harvest yams." (3.45;47)
It is Amatokwu's duty to produce heirs, and it is Nnu Ego's duty, as a wife, to provide the means by which heirs are produced. Because she is failing in her duty, Amatokwu is unwilling to waste any of his time on her. He will do his duty, but only when he has abundance of time.
Quote #2
"Pity your ideal Amatokwu almost beat you to death because you did not bear him a son. Look at yourself—you look pregnant to me, and you were not like that when you came here. What else does a woman want? I've given you a home and, if all goes well, the child you and your father have been wanting, and you still sit there staring at me with hatred in your eyes. The day you mention Amatokwu's name in this house again I shall give you the greatest beating you have ever had. You spoilt, selfish woman! You who put Amatokwu's manhood in question so that he had to marry again quickly and have many children in quick succession. Now you come here, where I did not particularly press you to be pregnant in the first month, and you talk this foolishness." (4.53)
Just like women have a duty to bear men sons, men have a duty to give their wives children, otherwise their manhood is in question as well.
Quote #3
Nnu Ego laughed with them, and she knew then that, had they lived in times gone by when families used to stay together, several generations living and dying on the same portion of land, Okpo's children would never suffer. For she saw the look of childish love that went from her son to this young girl his father had married. If it had been that time, If Nnaife should die, Okpo would never need to go back to her people, because on a day like this, she had given the boy Adim the spontaneous reaction which he needed and which said: "Well done. We know you will do your duty by us when you grow up." (16.71)
Okpo shows Adim his duty in the traditional culture. Nnu Ego is glad that he is learning the lesson, even while she sees that they no longer live within a traditional culture.

In his March 18 column concerning Greg Wilhoit, James Hallmark makes a fundamental error in reasoning. He assumes that one example proves the conclusion he supports.
Hallmark argues that Wilhoit was falsely convicted of capital murder and that the "system" failed to work for him. Hallmark then claims that 117 death row inmates have been exonerated and that the number of innocents executed is unknown.
The truth is that most of the 117 examples offered in Hallmark's polemic were not exonerated. Most of them were given a new trial, and when the state declined to pursue prosecution a second (or third or fourth) time, death penalty opponents announced that they had been exonerated. Never mind that the original crimes occurred as long as 20 or 30 years earlier and that most of the evidence and witnesses were no longer available.
In truth, there has been no confirmed execution of an innocent person in the United States since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.
I am unfamiliar with Mr. Wilhoit's case. He may or may not have been falsely convicted. But let us assume that he was. Does one example prove that we as a society should abandon the death penalty? Does one example prove the system failed? Does one example prove that abandoning the death penalty will protect innocent lives? The answer is an emphatic no.
Let's look at another example of an individual convicted and sentenced to death. In June 1992, Robert J. Anderson snatched a 4-year-old child from a sidewalk near the 3300 block of West Second Avenue in Amarillo. After the child's body was discovered in a Styrofoam ice chest at the bottom of a Dumpster, Anderson confessed to investigating officers.
He explained in graphic detail how he raped, tortured, butchered and eventually drowned the innocent little girl. Anderson even informed the officers that "little kids are hard to kill. I broke a Ginsu knife off in her."
Multiple witnesses observed Anderson in possession of the Styrofoam ice chest before it was deposited in the Dumpster. The physical evidence which corroborated the witnesses' testimony and his confession was overwhelming.
Does Hallmark or anyone else believe there is any real chance that Anderson was innocent? Does this example prove the death penalty is appropriate in every case? Does this example prove that an innocent person never can be convicted of capital murder? Does this example prove that the "system" works? The answer is an emphatic no.
Capital murder cases are part of a man-made system that is imperfect. Nothing man can create is perfect. Only God can produce perfection. However, our criminal justice system is a very good one. It includes multiple protections, fail safes, appeals, reviews and safeguards in recognition of man's fallibility.
The system did work in Greg Wilhoit's case. He is free today because of the criminal justice system, not because he broke out of prison and escaped. The system also worked in the case of Robert J. Anderson. He was justly executed for the horrendous crime he committed.
In both cases, innocent people were protected. Wilhoit was exonerated, and Anderson will never butcher another innocent child.

TSL players know that the Exile (referred to here as "she") was on board the Harbinger, and eventually was rescued by Kreia. I'd like to know why she was on board the Harbinger in the first place. I don't recall any details in the game that explain why she returned from her Exile. Granted, it's been a little bit since I've played it. Was it of her own accord? Did the Republic go and find her? I'd love to hear what you think - and if you can back it up with materials from the game or other sources, so much the better.

Clearwater: Police Investigate Hulk Hogan Shoe Theft
Clearwater Police are investigating the theft of an expensive piece of memorabilia - an autographed wrestling shoe once worn by Hulk Hogan taken from his shop on Clearwater Beach.
The shoe, valued at $5,500, was taken Sunday about 5:20 p.m. by a heavyset white female in her 50s.
Four white females - possibly from Michigan on spring break -- came into Hogan's Beach Shop at 5:16 p.m. Four minutes later, a large statue of Hogan fell over outside the premises, and store workers were temporarily distracted. That's when the theft occurred.
Employees did not know the Steve Cardillo wrestling shoe was missing until Tuesday evening, however. That's when they checked store security cameras and saw the theft.
Anyone with information on the case should call Clearwater Police at 562-4242.

Ecuador is a South American country that borders Colombia to the east, Peru to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The easiest way to get there is to fly into Quito, which is also the capital. The adventurous way to get there is to start on the Caribbean coast of Cartagena, Colombia, work your way up the coast, para-glide over Medellin, and then fly into Quito from the east. For US citizens you can get a 90 day visa.
In Quito, the feel is very different than Colombia. As you stand outside on your balcony at night in the cool air, don't be surprised to hear people laughing, singing, and playing flute music. You will find some expats here as well. Some formerly lived in Panama and wanted to see what life was like in a South American country.
The Amazon rain forest runs through Ecuador and it's popular for hardcore bird watchers, as well as those who want to get off the beaten path. Some just feel a strong calling to go into this mystical cathedral-like rain forest. It's best to go with a guide or a group. As is the case in many Central and South American countries, once you are away from the city and in the interior, you will come across some rural areas where life is extremely tough, but the locals will greet you with a smile.
Some people live in very remote areas and live by any means they can, but mainly farming. There are also isolated schools in the Amazon, and if you speak a little Spanish, they might appreciate you stopping by and volunteering a few days to help with the kids. If you are interested in organic farming, you will find plenty to see and learn from people who have been doing it for centuries.
As with all travel to foreign countries, be aware of your surroundings, and don't travel at night or alone. The jungle might look beautiful as you fly over it, but hiking inside a tropical rainforest can be dangerous, so be careful.
