Make no mistake. Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman is an intense, emotional play. "Cathartic," offers Lab Theater Artistic Director Annette Trossbach. And she's absolutely right. But this production's cataclysmic denouement works so effectively because cast and crew do such a masterful job of converting the audience from mere spectators into members of the dysfunctional Loman family.
The actors' task is made easier because of where the play takes place. Lab Theater performs in an historic old church on Woodford Avenue on the eastern fringe of the downtown Fort Myers River District. There isn't a bad seat inside this cozy sanctuary. Even in the back row of this 200-seat theater, you are close enough to the action to feel like a household guest who happens into the midst of a family imbroglio so ardent that they forget you're sitting there uncomfortably, taking it all in.
Director Louise Wigglesworth also uses a clever theatrical device to draw the audience in. The play opens with a bone-tired Willy Loman shuffling from the back of the theater down the center aisle with his brief case full of sales samples, puffing and sighing as he returns home from another day of unsuccessful calls in the Boston or Providence of some other New England venue. The audience doesn't just watch Willy wearily climb the steps to his bedroom, they mentally will him up those stairs.
Willy is a salesman in his sixties who has been furiously chasing the American Dream his whole life without ever catching it. When he started out 34 years earlier, the life of a salesman seemed like a dream job. But Willy failed to work at his profession, believing that success comes to those who are well liked and good looking rather than those who know more and work harder than the competition.
Sadly for Willy and his entire family, he's neither well liked nor respected. As his friend and neighbor, Charley, observes, Willy should have been a carpenter, an electrician or a builder. "He was a happy man with a bag of cement." But as Willy's oldest son, Biff, knows, "He had the wrong dreams. All, all, wrong."
The role of Willy Loman makes most actors' "top ten ever list," and that's true for Mitchell Haley, who is up for the challenge. "The show is, without a doubt, a challenge," Haley admits. "The character has to fluctuate between different points along the time-space continuum." But this play is not about Willy's descent into dementia. And first produced in 1949, it wasn't written to explore the onset of Alzheimer's either. "Willy has lost his balance," Haley observes, but he and director Louise Wigglesworth are careful not to portray him as crazy.
Loman is frustrated and depressed. He's tired and confused. He has but a loose grip on reality, but only because he's repeated lies to himself for so long that he's come to believe them himself. You see, Loman is a man who struggles to exude a confidence and self-control he does not now and has never really possessed. Haley does a tremendous job of reflecting this dichotomy, which makes his rants and outbursts all the more shocking and arresting when they inevitably erupt.
But the best part of Haley's performance is that he portrays Willy not as some kind of Greek tragic hero who is defeated in his quest for the golden fleece by events that are beyond his control. Haley's Loman simply makes bad choices and poor decisions - just like the rest of us everyday, common folks. And it's his unwillingness to admit those mistakes, fix them, and face the truth about himself that leads to his undoing, which is therefore wholly deserved. All the sadder for those he leave behind to pick up the pieces of his broken life.
Willy's wife, Linda, is played Mitchell's real-life wife Joann. Linda has been oft described as an enabler. Joann Haley provides her character with so much more dimension than that. A study in contradiction, her Linda vacillates between strength and abject weakness when it comes to her husband and sons. She'll defend her husband like a lioness, telling her son Biff that he's not welcome in their home if he can't make his father feel wanted and respected. But she isn't strong enough to take Biff to the woodshed to remedy his chronic self-sabotaging kleptomania. Nor is she strong enough to confront her husband when she finds a cord in the basement that she knows he intends to use in order to commit suicide.
Biff is played by Rob Green, who last appeared at the Lab Theater along with Stephanie Davis in Miss Witherspoon. While Mitchell's part is emotionally draining and Joann Haley is asked to cry and sob convincingly throughout much of the play, Green's challenge is take Biff through a character arc that takes him from cocky football Adonis to a broken bum afraid to pursue his own dreams, never lone live up to those his father had for him. Whether it's Green's crazy good skills as an actor or Wigglesworth's genius for direction, Green assumes the aura of little lost soul - from the way he stands and moves to the manner in which he speaks and enunciates his lines. Which is all the more astonishing given that he must show these differences in a time-space continuum that is anything but linear or chronological.
For all of this, Stu Colon performance as younger son/brother Happy nearly steals the show. Not because it's in-your-face outrageous, but because his super-suave, sexually-charged demeanor conjures images of what Willy Loman must have been like in his heyday. Colon's Happy needs his father's approval so badly that he's turned himself into a younger version of his dad. But poor guy, no matter how much he adores his father and strives to emulate him (bad traits and all), Willy is obsessed only with Biff and his success. (Miller does provide an explanation for why this is so, but you will have to see the play to find out why this is.)
Taylor Adair, Ken Bryant, Caitlynn Crawford, David Jennings, Bill Molesky, Mary Powell, Jeffrey Schmitt and Rick Sebastian also turn in strong performances in support of the play's big four. But in spite (or perhaps because) of how good a job they do, the focus at all times remains on the sometimes-dynamic, other-times-static relationships between Willy and Linda, father and sons and even Biff and Happy.
Ironically, the cast has spent more time brainstorming, running lines and rehearsing their roles it took Arthur Miller to write the play (namely, a scant six weeks). But it's time well spent. The show's remaining performances are on tonight, January 18, 23, 24, 25, 26, 30 and 31, with a final performance taking place on February 1. Tickets are $12 for students, $18.50 for seniors and military on Thursdays, and $22 for adults. They are available for purchase at the door, online at www.laboratorytheaterflorida.com or by calling the box office at 239-218-0481. There will be an audience talk-back after the Sunday, January 26 performance.

Women sunbathe across the front of a boat off the turquoise coast of Zanzibar. A Tahitian man kisses a large Manta Ray. In Sydney a young girl peers underwater gazing dreamily into the deep. These are the people who live on the border between land and sea, on the coasts of the Southern Hemisphere with salt water running through their veins.
They are the dreamers of the ocean.

Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Dak Prescott has made the most of his three starts for injured quarterback Tyler Russell.
Prescott has led Mississippi State to a 2-1 record over that span with 862 yards of total offense and nine touchdowns. The sophomore has completed 47 of 85 passing for 709 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while rushing 37 times for 215 yards and five scores on the year.
It was another impressive evening for Prescott on Saturday against Troy. He connected on 13 of 21 passing for 233 yards and a touchdown and rushed five times for 53 yards and two more scores.
To top things off, Prescott also caught a 36-yard touchdown pass by Jameon Lewis during the second quarter.
Prescott and Lewis combined for five touchdowns during the game and each recorded at least one passing, one rushing and one receiving score.
"I don't know that we opened the playbook more, maybe we did," said MSU coach Dan Mullen. "We ran a lot of the same plays that we always run. Each week we just have a little variation on it. I love running fun plays like the throw back pass."
Russell has been out with a concussion since the second half against Oklahoma State in week 1. An MSU spokesman stated that Russell was cleared for contact on Thursday but did not see action Saturday night.
"Tyler was cleared late in the week but Dak had gotten all the (first team) reps during the week," Mullen said. "Tyler's still our starter and we plan on him starting the LSU game moving forward."
True freshman Damian Williams took over for Prescott on the second drive of the second half and went the rest of the way.

College Hockey:NCHA picks: Nov. 2
This weekend, teams in the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association take a break from conference play for a full slate of nonconference match-ups.
This will be my first stab at predicting NCHA games so I'm both excited and a bit nervous to see what my record will be on Sunday. Well, have to dive in at some point so here goes.
Friday-Saturday, November 2-3
St. Norbert at Augsburg and Gustavus Adolphus
After beginning the season with a win over Concordia and a sweep of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, the Green Knights are off to a 3-0 start. The question heading into this weekend's trek across the river to Minnesota: Can St. Norbert goaltender David Jacobson keep his scoreless streak alive? He hasn't allowed a goal this season, and he'll blank Augsburg in the opener, too. However, I don't see that happening against No. 5 Gustavus Adolphus. The shutout streak comes to an end, but St. Norbert's winning streak stays intact. St. Norbert 4, Augsburg 0, St. Norbert 3, Gustavus Adolphus 2
Wisconsin-River Falls at Bethel and Hamline
Wis.-River Falls is off to a 2-0 start and should earn a sweep on the road this weekend. If that happens, expect the No. 12 Falcons to move up in the USCHO.com D-III poll. Then the real test comes: a road series at St. Norbert, Nov. 9-10. Wis.-River Falls 3, Bethel 1, Wis.-River Falls 5, Hamline 3
Friday, Nov. 2
St. Scholastica at St. Olaf
This should be a good match-up of two teams that received votes in the latest USCHO.com D-III poll, but failed to land a spot in the top 15. It'll be a tight game, but I see St. Olaf prevailing on its home ice and getting enough votes to crack into the top 15. St. Olaf 4, St. Scholastica 3
Saturday, Nov. 3
Wisconsin-Superior at St. Olaf
After a hard-fought contest against St. Scholastica, can St. Olaf prevail over another NCHA team that's on the cusp of breaking into the top 15? I don't think it'll happen, but I do see another nailbiter. Wis.-Superior 5, St. Olaf 4

Discussing the positives and negatives for banks given the uncertainties in the market right now, with Erik Oja, S&P Global Market Intelligence. » Read More
The equity market collapse began in the Far East as Sony shares slide 14 pct after they issued a profit warning. The electronics maker cut its profit forecast in half as the strong Japanese yen and the ongoing credit crisis is hurting demand for its cameras and flat TVs.

Stocks got an early boost from Buffett's vote of confidence in Wall Street but the meandering hearings on the bailout sucked the air out of the trading floor. By the closing bell, financials had fallen and only techs were left carrying the torch of hope.
Stocks made a modest advance Wednesday, boosted by Buffett's investment in Goldman Sachs and optimism that a bailout could boost tech spending.

Don't judge all financial stocks by the Lehman-AIG-Merrill meltdown. Commercial banks look strong and will get stronger, according to Richard Bove and Jack Bouroudjian. The expert strategists offered their recommendations to CNBC. (Part One)
AIG's new CEO Edward Liddy discusses his new role at AIG while Dick Bove shares perspectives on what the regulation of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley means for banks. Following are today's top videos:
Lesser stocks are fetching more. Why?
Futures are practically unchanged, with many traders noting this morning that hedge fund and mutual fund companies are continuing to see redemptions, and the profit outlook is still poor. As a result, there is debate about how strong buying interest will be here.
If you have a strong stomach and like a good gamble, the current volatility may be a good opportunity to put some money in play to beef up your portfolio gains in what's been a rocky year. While the pickings may seem slim, investment strategists say there are some opportunities within certain sectors, and if you are considering making broader bets, using options strategies can provide a good way to maximize gains while limiting losses.
When stadium naming rights started taking hold in the sports stadium building boom of the 90s, the airlines swooped in. Delta bought the rights to the arena in Utah in 1991, America West took Phoenix in 1992, United bought the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks venue in 1994.
The Street has been making this distinction for months, and it is now accelerating. For example, look at some of the smaller regional banks that have less exposure to construction/real estate than others, and how they have performed in the last year:
With all this news about Fannie, Freddie, Lehman, WaMu, and others, you might be asking yourself, are there any good banks out there. Here is a screen for stocks from the S&P Financials sector that are actually doing well for the year.
A number of U.S. banks stand to gain after the government takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Dick Bove, analyst at Ladenburg Thalman & Co., told CNBC.
Oil prices, which have plunged 26% in the past month and a half, could continue moving lower in the coming weeks, analysts believe.
The rapid slide in commodities prices is fueling the runup in stocks. But market pros think the switch might be short-lived.

When Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach Raheem Morris mentioned during training camp the prospect of his team winning 10 games this season, his words to the assembled media were followed with snickers.
The Buccaneers were too young, they lacked playmakers, and they didn't have the necessary intestinal fortitude to make such leaps in the standings.
Apparently none of the naysayers knew what Morris did, however, that the Buccaneers were a strong-willed bunch with a rising star at quarterback.
At that time, few would have believed that the Buccaneers would be able to come into the Superdome and beat the New Orleans Saints, the defending Super Bowl champions, 23-13 on Sunday to pick up their 10th win.
"It's definitely a feel-good story to come in and get the 10th victory," Morris said. "This young football team is getting better and getting hungry."
Unfortunately for the Buccaneers (10-6), 10 victories weren't enough to send them into the playoffs.
The Buccaneers, who were 3-13 last season, entered Sunday's game against the Saints needing a win and losses by the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs.
Tampa Bay took care of its own business, but the final wild-card spot in the NFC playoffs went to the Packers, who beat the Chicago Bears 10-3.
Josh Freeman, the second-year quarterback who led the Buccaneers to the win by passing for 255 yards and two touchdowns, said they have no one to blame for missing the postseason but themselves.
"Whatever happens we kind of did it to ourselves," he said. "There are a number of games where we can look back to and say we should have won that game. Ten wins is what Coach said we were striving for. It was a race to 10. We finished (the race) in the last week, but next year we will definitely try to be in the driver's seat going into this situation. Getting to 10 is definitely something to build off."
The Buccaneers, the NFL's youngest team with an average age of 25 years, 175 days, believe this season could be the start of something big in Tampa.
"I'm not proud, just excited," Buccaneers offensive tackle Donald Penn said. "We have so much to look forward to. Like I said, everybody doubted us except for everybody in this locker room. We knew what we had; we knew what we could do, and we went out and did it. We surprised a lot of people. This is a lot to build for.
"I don't think we'll ever have a season like that again with Josh Freeman being our quarterback and Raheem Morris being our head coach. I don't think that. It might happen, you never know. But the way we are going and the way that guy Josh is getting better, I don't ever think we'll have a (three-win) season while we are here. I think we will always be better than that."
Tampa Bay showcased plenty of its youthful potential against the Saints, as young talents like running back LeGarrette Blount and receivers Mike Williams, Dezmon Briscoe and Michael Spurlock, all made solid contributions.
Blount rushed for 66 yards.
Williams caught four passes for 40 yards and an 18-yard touchdown that put the Buccaneers ahead 20-10 in the third quarter.
Briscoe had four catches for 65 yards and a 2-yard touchdown.
Spurlock had three kickoff returns for 108 yards, including a 69-yarder.
"You would assume (the future is bright), but every year is different," Briscoe said. "You have teams that come from the bottom to the top and teams that were winning now at the bottom. It's one of those things that you have to take each and every year and savor the moment. This year we got 10 wins, but next year we don't know how many wins we'll have. Last year, we were 3-13. Nobody thought we would win 10 games."
Ultimately, though, missing the playoffs stung a bit.
"I don't think nobody wants to call it a success," Spurlock said. "You win 10 games you are supposed to get an opportunity at the show. Ten games, yeah we made strides, but I don't think anybody will be satisfied. It's kind of like a catch-22. You are happy but sad at the same time because it's the end of your season."
Morris agreed.
"If we don't play in another game, we are in the same spot (as we were last season at 3-13)," Morris said. "We got to go back and prepare in the offseason and get ready to go. Build on these young guys. Let these guys come back and compete. Come back hungrier and find a way to win games and find a way to get into the playoffs. That's the only thing that we play for."

Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition delivers some gruesome zombie kills, great weapon combos, and provides a unique sense of humor in a genre overflowing with serious tones and dire circumstances that can be a little too much more often than not.
Dead Rising 3 isn't a new game. In fact, the title was released as an Xbox One launch title last year, and was met with generally favorable reviews. The series has been one that sometimes can struggle to find an identity, and at other times can seem hard to identify with. Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition isn't immune to these issues from prior games, but does a great job to push the series forward, and provides one of the best experiences yet.
Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition includes the story from the title that shipped back in November of 2013, which finds our hero Nick Ramos surviving, and eventually thriving, in yet another zombie apocalypse. This time we are put in to the city of Los Perdidos, an interpretation of the City of Angels, but more importantly, a huge open world to explore as much as you'd like. Each little subsection of the map feels somewhat unique, if only because one has a power station, one has a communication tower, and another has its token distinguishing building being a shipyard. The city itself has some stunning skyboxes, and takes advantage of a new engine to make the city seem somewhat realistic. Normally I would grade the city on how "alive" it felt, but you can probably guess that the city didn't necessarily feel alive. It did, however, feel like a city that has experienced a terrible tragedy.
Buildings are mostly still standing, and there are certainly some interesting buildings, but some of the most interesting places on the map are actually collectibles, called Tragic Endings, the player can interact with and shows some sorrow for the scene that played out. More interesting than the strange shift from slicing and dicing zombies, is the layouts of these scenes. Finding bodies hidden and still cowering inside a crate that is atop a mountain of crates, a family that had a shootout, or stumbling upon a scene with teddy bears and broadswords strewn about puts you in that world, and makes the scenario a bit more real.
The story in Dead Rising 3 does a great job of being cohesive, understandable, and just overall good. I couldn't think of a better word to describe it. I fully expected after playing for a while for the story to fall off, get too silly, and really lose my interest. That moment did not come. I found myself wanting to get through the story, not just because I had this review to write, but the characters were interesting, the dialogue was solid, and the acting was on point. All of this delivered to me, the best Dead Rising story yet.
None of the other entries in the series really grabbed me the way this one did.
The Untold Stories of Los Perdidos is an add-on that comes in the Apocalypse Edition, and while the stories are in concept a novel idea, they don't really expand too greatly upon the existing framework. Don't expect anything earth shattering or brand new mechanics, but they do offer an interesting way to explore other characters within Los Perdidos. Playing new stories like that of a duty driven spec ops team member, or an insane bike gang leader, or member of the survivors. The stories are interesting, the characters fascinating, but the setting, weapons, and skills remain mostly unchanged. Playing these stories following the main campaign will give some intriguing insight and give you a glimpse of the early stages of the outbreak, but also can be a bit easy to breeze through if you've leveled up your character, as attributes and abilities are inherited from your main story.
The issue Dead Rising has always had has been an identity crisis of sorts. I addressed this in a preview, but what became evident in Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition is that the game doesn't really have a crisis, it embraces the wacky, insane world they've built.
Psycho missions aren't a new addition to the series, but did seem to be more initially offensive than in previous entries. An obese woman on a scooter farts and vomits her way to, around, and through you on occasion, until you defeat her. During the battle you slip on her vomit, and maybe even wretch yourself at the character. Of course the end of the fight is punctuated by one final burp, or fart, I don't really know, it was gross. This mission was the turning point for me. I stopped caring that the character was so disgusting, and that prior characters were racial caricatures. I began to understand that these caricatures were actually part of the charm of Dead Rising.
I was impressed that a character in a scooter could make me feel so strongly about her, and more impressed as the character had very few lines of dialogue.
After settling on the fact that Dead Rising was designed to be goofy, insane, and sometimes flat out weird, the game showed itself to be utterly enjoyable. I didn't care that the story went to some dark places, or that the stereotypical insane general was a bit too gravely and predictable. I enjoyed what the game was doing, and wanted to play more. I particularly enjoyed watching my cutscenes play out while wearing a cheerleader outfit, gimp suit, or Lego-inspired head.
After completing the main campaign and launching the aforementioned Untold Stories, I was having a bit of fun, but realized that a major chunk of the gameplay is fetch styled missions. Someone will come on the radio to tell you to grab something, usually not anywhere close to you, and investigate/clear/pickup what they need. The main story didn't drag on me with this mechanic, but the DLC stories seemed to just have me trudging through more hordes, and going to do the same things I had done before, just with a different model and cutscenes.
Dead Rising 3: Apocalypse Edition represents a few things; a good value, a solid game, and a good time. The story, as mentioned earlier, is one of the best stories in the series (if not the best), fun to play, and only better with a friend. Dead Rising 3's co-op allows players to jump in and search, collect, and slaughter together, with shared collectible findings so you don't have to worry about losing progress. I truly enjoyed Dead Rising as a game, and appreciate what it does. While it might not win awards for the best story, or the best anything really, it's a fantastic game, and deserves your attention.

(AP Photo/Universal Pictures) Photo provided by Universal Pictures -- Actor-director RZA is shown in a scene from The Man With the Iron Fists. This image released by Universal Pictures shows actor-director RZA, right, in a scene from "The Man With the Iron Fists." (AP Photo/Universal Pictures) Reviewer's Rating: ★ Mary Hutton| Special to theadvocate.com Nov. 12, 2012; 4:03 p.m. Comments "The Man with the Iron Fists" is a ridiculous adaptation of a classic Kung Fu movie. If this film will attract anyone, it will be an audience that only wishes to see violence and gore. The setting is Jungle Village, China, where different "packs" act as old school gangs that control the money and politics of the area. The Lion pack is the focal point of the story, and it's a very hard story to grasp. The idea is that the Lion pack leader is sending a shipment of gold to the governor, and everyone is on the hunt for this gold. Participants in this treasure hunt include the different packs, including the Lion, Wolf and Hyena packs, as well as assassins and a British soldier. The men known as Bronze Lion and Silver Lion turn on their leader, Gold Lion, and they have him assassinated. Silver Lion takes over and sets out to start different wars for no apparent reasons. He also hires assassins to kill Gold Lion's son, Zen Yi, played by Rick Yune ("The Fast and the Furious"). Although it was difficult to understand the reasoning of this, the audience can assume Silver Lion doesn't want Zen Yi to overthrow his reign. In the midst of all these riots and drama, the film zeroes in on the blacksmith, played by RZA, who is also the director and assisted Eli Roth's writing. The blacksmith forges all the weapons for each clan. His guilt depresses him, as he is making weapons for feuding packs, giving them the means to start wars. But he does it all to earn money for Lady Silk (Jamie Chung), his lover, who is also a courtesan. They plan to run away together. Enter Jack Knife (Russell Crowe), a rogue soldier who has also come to the village in search of the gold. Crowe does a great job with his character and ultimately steals the show. Jack Knife is a promiscuous violent drunk, who is also noble and kind. It is an odd combination of characteristics, but Crowe pulls it off. Throughout this film, there are hints of a good plot and acceptable fighting scenes, but the overall film was absurd and almost comical in a laughing-at-you-not-with-you manner. There is a character by the name of Brass Body whose body literally turns to brass without any explanation. Also, the switch between English and Chinese makes little sense. Most characters spoke perfect English, while subtitles were used in unlikely scenes. The character development was pretty much nonexistent, which meant that the character's relationships with one another weren't very convincing. Zen Yi has a lover, who supposedly means everything to him, but he leaves her to avenge his father's death, and she is never brought up again. The blacksmith and Lady Silk have no passion and they make no real connection at all with each other -- or with the audience for that matter. The only couple that seems to have any kind of passion are the Gemini Killers, a husband and wife who are sought out to accompany and protect the gold on its journey. Despite the fact that they are not given any background story, the audience can slightly tell that they love each other. The Gemini Killers' have only one meaningful appearance in this film, and even that comes across as cheesy and garish. The overall film had noticeable faults and was extremely overdone. "The Man with the Iron Fists," is definitely a movie for fans of blood and gore, but leaves nothing more for the audience to appreciate. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

In 1956, twenty-three-year-old Colin Clark began work as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that united Sir Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe. The blonde bombshell and the legendary actor were ill suited from the start. Monroe, on honeymoon with her new husband, the celebrated playwright Arthur Miller, was insecure, often late, and heavily medicated on pills. Olivier, obsessively punctual, had no patience for Monroe and the production became chaotic. Clark was perceptive in his assessment of what seemed to be going wrong in Monroe's life: too many hangers-on, intense insecurity, and too many pills. Before long, Monroe and Clark spent an innocent week together in the English countryside and Clark became her confidant and ally. This special theatrical edition also includes The Prince, The Showgirl and Me, Colin Clark's diary during the film's production.

Therese writes, "Hi Outblush! A friend of mine recently introduced me to outblush and I'm hooked. Please help me! My problem is that I generally hate shopping and I need some direction. For most of my life this hasn't been a problem: I just find some things I like and wear them forever. But I've been at my current job about a year now and I work with some well-dressed women, so I'm beginning to feel self conscious about wearing the same old things forever. The problem is I don't even know where to shop. Right now I'm in the market for some new tops. I have a pear shape figure and I like tops that emphasize my waist a little. Here is an example of a cut that flatters my figure (I just got this top): I would really appreciate any advice you could give me. I usually shop at anthropologie or jcrew but I really need to branch out! I truly need your help."
Therese, there is nothing wrong with Anthropologie or J. Crew. Both have great pieces! But, if you're looking to branch out, a few of our fave online stores are Couture Candy, BlueFly, Revolve Clothing, Shop Planet Blue, and Tobi. They all have the hottest brands you see in fashion magazines, like Alice + Olivia and BCBG Max Azria, at discounted prices. Of course, you'd be surprised at how trendy a lot of department stores have gotten. Bloomingdale's, Macy's, and Nordstrom are all great. Since you have a pear-shaped figure, steer towards boot-cut or wide-leg trousers to visually elongate your figure and balance it out. We've done a little shopping work for you, and found some great blouses, too. Don't be afraid to play with proportions, different necklines & sleeves, prints, and fun dresses, too. Enjoy!
P.S. No matter what anyone else says, you will always be well-dressed in clothes that fit and flatter you. Always.
1 - Aryn K Dusty Pink Chiffon Pleated Belted Tank ($56)
2 - Calvin Klein Jeans Petal Sleeve Diamond Stripe Tunic ($60)
3 - Nanette Lepore Lethal Love Polka Dot Top ($298)
4 - Plenty by Tracy Reese Flamingo Femme Swirl Jersey Tunic ($66 on sale)
5 - Joie "Fairbanks" Silk Chiffon Tank ($188)
6 - Tart Plum Stretch Knit 'Zephrus' Top ($100 on sale)
Frustrated in your search for that perfect leather handbag, red stiletto pump, or whatever makes your heart go thump in the night? Send us a request and we might do the shopping work for you in a future Personal Shopper feature!
Thank you!!!
Of course the top I like best is also the most expensive... :)
The Aryn K tank is already sold out. Any idea where else I can find it?
Glad you liked 'em, Therese!
And, Jen, we're on the hunt - keep an eye out for a post tomorrow, 7/28!

Lyman Currier, a 19-year-old halfpipe skier out of Boulder, Colo., needed two podium finishes at the U.S. Freeskiing Grand Prix at Park City Mountain Resort this past weekend to punch a ticket to the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
He'd never been on a Grand Prix podium before, so the odds of an unlikely Olympic berth were not in his favor after all, only two guaranteed Olympic spots remained after David Wise clinched his spot earlier this season.
But, after a confidence-building third-place finish on Friday night, Currier came up huge on Saturday night, finding his way not just to the podium, but to the top of the podium.
"I'm so stoked," he said after winning Saturday's halfpipe event. "Oh my god, I can't even believe this is going on right now."
Standing at the bottom of the halfpipe waiting for his opponents to finish their second runs made Currier really nervous, he admitted.
"It's insane," he said. "Just standing down here, being on the podium, every single person coming down can knock you off. It's definitely nerve-wracking."
But, perhaps the most nervous Currier got was when he was waiting at the top of the pipe to get his first run started.
"There's definitely a lot of pressure, a lot of butterflies at the top," he said. "But, after that first run, they all kind of subsided."
Coming into the weekend, he was a long shot to make it to Sochi. Now, two podiums later, he's accomplished one of his biggest dreams and is a part of the first-ever U.S. Olympic Freeskiing Team.
"The Olympics, ever since they announced that [freeskiing was] in, has been a goal for me," Currier said.
Joining Currier on the podiums were Kevin Rolland of France, who won first place on Friday night, and American Alex Ferreira, who took silver in Friday's contest. On Saturday, Currier was joined by second-place Aaron Blunck and third-place finisher Gus Kenworthy.
Though Maddie Bowman clinched her Olympic spot last week in Breckenridge, she decided to compete in the women's halfpipe competition anyway to give fans in her adopted hometown a show.
She didn't disappoint, capturing a gold medal with an impressive run on Friday night.
"There was definitely a different sort of pressure today," she said. "I had a lot of friends and family out here and I wanted to impress them. I had a great time and it made it all the more fun."
Despite the risk of suffering an injury, Bowman said she competed so she could keep perfecting her run leading up to Sochi.
"I'm really happy to keep the ball rolling and be here in kind of my new home to ski," she said. "My biggest focus was just to try new stuff, push it a little bit harder so I could risk a little bit more. It seemed to work out."
Plus, she added, if she doesn't fall, she won't hurt herself ahead of the X Games and the Sochi Olympics.
"I just think that, if I do everything right, I'll be fine," she said. "I just wanted to keep the momentum going into the X Games and the Olympics."
Bowman shared the podium with a pair of French skiers Marie Martinod (second place) and Anais Caradeux (third place).
On Saturday, Angeli VanLaanen took over the top spot on the podium. Brita Sigourney (second) and Devin Logan (third) rounded out an all-American top three.
After Saturday's competition, the official Olympic nominations were handed out, with a fourth, discretionary spot still to be named.
With the team roster mostly complete, Currier can't wait to show the Russian what he and the rest of Team USA can do in the pipe.
"They're going to love it," he said. "We go big and we do really crazy stuff."

This Outdoor Community Question was inspired by Andy Whitcomb and a great post he wrote for the Take Me Fishing Blog — Honeybuns.
When Andy asked me the question via Twitter, my first thought was "Nope, not Honeybuns, but give me a bag of mini-snicker bars and a 6-pack of Diet Coke and I'm all set for a day Outdoors."
So I'll be honest and admit healthy doesn't come to my mind when I'm racing off to my favorite fishing hole at 6 a.m. When I head outdoors it's usually a matter of space, convenience and quickness, so easy snacks win out over quality sustenance. Food is usually a secondary thought after I've packed all my outdoor gear and I go with a –Stop at the nearest convenience store on the way– policy. Maybe I've been approaching it all wrong…
Which brings me to the community question:
What is your GO-TO Outdoor Snack? Or do you go with an actual meal? Does making healthy choices cross your mind or does the fact you are outside, being active make your Twinkies choice an acceptable wash?
Comment below with your answer and let's see how everyone feels about food choices in the Great Outdoors.

How to play Infernal Machines on Windows XP 64 bit Professional Edition
Hi there!
I'm new on this forum but I desperatly need to know ho to play Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machines on my new pc! The installation doesn't work because is 16 bit so I copied content of the disc in a new directory to play directly from the hard-disk the game but it doesn't start. Any tips, please?
Thanks however
Any suggestion, PLEASE! :(
I can play Infernal Machine on both XP and Vista, but I must admit they're both 32-bit versions. Is there any way you can run the Install file in Windows' Compatibility Mode?
I'm not sure what you mean about install not starting because it's 16-bit. This game was released for a 32-bit OS. But even when it's installed this game is notoriously buggy on modern systems. Best options to play this game today is either to play it on old systems or play it on the N64(which is the best version graphically and control wise).
Yeah man, your serious best bet is to buy a n64 off the net ($20) and find the game for sale somewhere ($20 - $60) and play it that way. The N64 version is better in EVERY way, even graphics.
And the N64 version is not better in one key way - availability. Only available in the US, and scarcely.
And you'd be playing it on an N64, which isn't exactly ideal gaming anymore.
I'm also new to this forum and this thread was exactly what i was looking for.
I'm having a similar problem here as i am also running Windows XP 64-bit. I got a bit further then the installer issue, hope this might help you a bit:
I also copied the contents over from the cd onto my computer, however the game wouldn't launch, so i figured its probably some registry keys missing. So to be sure i installed the game on a 32-bit system, exported the registry keys and imported them here.
I can play the game now (in windows 2000 compatibility mode) with numerous crashes, but worst of all I am unable to save or load, doing so will crash the game and return me to the desktop, sofar i'm not looking forward doing the entire game with a quicksave/quickload :(
Its a shame it doesn't work anymore, i really like this game and i've finished the game at least twice on Windows 2000/XP 32-bit without any crashes or problems. Oh well guess i'll go back to Fate of Atlantis for now ;)
i'm open for any suggestions here though.

Although we love Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, YSL, and Chanel, there ARE other designer labels out there that deserve our attention. Here are some of the latest designers that we have zeroed in on and fallen in love with.
Aysha Saeed
The Aysha Collection is one of those fun and girly lines that stays true to what a spirited woman wants. Talented Aysha Saeed is well-versed in high-end design, having worked in Milan and Paris under big names like Dior, La Perla, and Dolce and Gabbana. Her latest dresses incorporate gorgeous colors that pop and are flattering on any figure. The Aysha Collection is featured in dozens of stores across the country in addition to multiple international locations and at ayshacollection.com.
Christina Makowsky
As a luxury womenswear label, Christina Makowsky is working her way through the stars of Hollywood like a pro. Celebrities who have recently been seen wearing her dresses include Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul, Cheryl Burke, and Lisa Vanderpump. You've probably seen several of her pieces on X Factor this past season as well. Because Makowsky's designs all make use of fine fabrics, she is able to create the highest quality pieces possible for her clients.

Misha Nonoo
Nonoo is a Yesyess! This designer's stuff is cutting edge and for every occasion. I'm completely in love with pretty much all of Nonoo's jackets, but this label is full of tops, dresses, pants...you name it. You may not have known it, but you've see their clothes on countless celebrities on the covers of magazines like Lucky, Vogue, 944, Elle, Bazaar, W, and many others.
Angelo Lambrou
Though Angelo Lambrou has an amazing bridal collection, he also has an eveningwear line that will have you digging up any excuse for a fabulous night out. Citing classic Valentino as his inspiration, he favors everything from red carpet entrance gowns to slinky little numbers. This eveningwear designer knows his lines and how to make a woman gasp over a garment and with awards season coming up, I'm sure Lambrou will be in full effect!

Having designed for several big name designers, you can see Cesar Galindo's aesthetic show through collections like Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. Fortunately, Galindo has branched out to form his own dream line, Czar. Combining soft and flowy silhouettes with sharp and edgy ones, this collection screams high-fashion. Describing his pieces as "social party outfits," Galindo captures his audiences with his signature architecturally draped silhouettes, his pops of color, and optical illusions.

NCAA Softball Championships
Tucson, Ariz., Regional
May 16, 2014
Game 2 - Arizona 9, Boston University 6
TUCSON, Ariz.--Estela Pinon struck out eight to win in in four innings of relief and help lead host Arizona (42-13) to a 9-6 victory over Boston University (35-20). It put the Wildcats in the winner's bracket of the NCAA Softball Championships regional here at Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium.
Arizona will play LSU in Game 3 at 1:30 p.m. (MST/PDT) Saturday for the right to play in Sunday's championship game. The Terriers will play Louisville in the first elimination game at 4:30 p.m. Saturday.
Arizona collected 11 hits and was aided by a pair of miscues that cost the Terriers. Kelsey Rodriguez drove in three runs, with Chelsea Suitos knocking in a pair. Pinon improved to 18-7 on the year. Pinon allowed two runs on three hits, walking a pair.
UA took an early, short-lived, lead with four unearned runs in the second. Mo Mercado reached on a one-out error by shortstop Brittany Clendenny, and Lauren Young doubled. Courtney Rodriguez hit a grounder to third and defender Brittany Younan threw out Mercado trying to score. But Chelsea Suitos singled in Young, Hallie Wilson got a hit to load the bases and Kelsey Rodriguez cleared them all with a double to right field. She was thrown out trying to stretch it into a three-base hit.
The Terriers struck back with hits by Emily Feinbaum and Amy Ekart and a walk issued to Clendenny by UA's starter, Shelby Babcock. With two outs, Chelsea Kerr slugged her third homer of the season, a grand slam to tie the contest. But in the bottom of the frame, a sacrifice fly by Mercado and a run-scoring single by Young put UA back on top, 6-4.
UA pulled Babcock before the start of the third, bringing in Pinon. She struck out the first two batters she faced, but BU put the tying run at the plate after an infield bunt single by Jayme Mask. Pinon then struck out Younan to end the threat.
In the fifth, the Wildcats put three more on the board, also all unearned. Chelsea Goodacre singled to lead off the frame, and with two outs Young's high fly ball was dropped near the fence by center fielder Moriah Connolly to allow Goodacre to score and Young to reach third. Connolly couldn't get to a deeper ball off the bat of Courtney Rodriguez and it turned into an RBI triple. Suitos singled her in to make it 9-4.
BU brought in reliever Makinna Akers to pitch the UA sixth in favor of starter Melanie Russell (12-4). Akers gave up a leadoff hit but the Terriers turned a nifty 7-4 double play to end the inning.
The Terriers added two runs in the top of the seventh on an RBI double from Clendenny and a sacrifice fly by Kehr, who led all players at the plate with the five RBI.
Arizona is an at-large pick making its 28th consecutive NCAA appearance, the nation's current best and an NCAA Division I record. Boston University, winner of the Patriot League Tournament for an automatic bid, is playing in its 7th tournament.
UA improved to 80-8 overall in NCAA Regional action in its 28 appearances and has lost a first-round game at home only one time, in 1990 to Arizona State, 1-0.
Arizona postgame press conference transcript:
Head coach Mike Candrea
Opening statement:
"In game one, all you are worried about is winning. It wasn't pretty, but we got the job done, and we'll put our focus on LSU tomorrow."
On the lack of home runs:
"I don't think that you can go up there and try to hit home runs, and that's not something that we try to do. Tonight was one of those nights that the ball didn't find the other side of the fence. You have to be able to manufacture runs, and you have to be able to do the little things. I thought that Suitos came up big with a couple of big hits. Their lack of defense in the outfield kind of shot them in the foot. It was just one of those games where we got what we needed to, but we made the game a lot more interesting than it should've been"
On starting Shelby Babcock:
"We played them here last year, and (Babcock) threw a three hitter. We really feel like we needed to get some innings out of someone, so we were hoping to get a solid performance of about four or five innings out of her, but when you get into these first games, you don't want to make it interesting. You have to take it one game at a time and I felt that after (Babcock) gave up the four runs, that we had to make a switch, and not put ourselves in one of those situations."
Senior designated player Kelsey Rodriguez
On manufacturing runs:
"It's very crucial to put them together whether the ball is going over the fence or not, it's all about finding a way. It was great having Suitos come up clutch with all these bunts, it adds a base runner and it is definitely a momentum changer. As we go farther and as things get harder, home runs will not come as easily, and finding a way to score no matter how is crucial. Tonight it was very crucial, to have us just find a way whether it was because of an error or it was a bunt, or finding a hole, we just need to take advantage as much as we can.
Junior catcher Chelsea Goodacre
On the offensive approach:
"Going up there we're not really thinking, 'let's hit a home run, let's hit a home run.' We really just want to get up there and do what we can. If we get on base with an error, great. It gives us more opportunities to score, and tonight it went our way to get on base."
Boston postgame press conference transcript:
Head coach Kathryn Gleason
Opening statement:
"I thought it was a great game in a great environment. We pick up the ball in the outfield and a couple times in the infield and we were right in that game. I thought our team played well. We competed, and we pitched well enough to win."
On the errors:
"You can't give a team like that extra outs, and that's what we did. We haven't done that in a long time. I think we just pick up the ball, and we're right there. They had the momentum shift when they scored the four runs, and we took the momentum back with the grand slam, and we hung in there and we competed. I'm really proud of them for that, but we know what we need to fix to compete tomorrow and to keep playing."
On the optimism moving forward:
"Absolutely. I've told them since last week when we won the Patriot League Championship that they've earned this and they're here for a reason. They're a team that never gives up, and they're in every game. When the other team scores, we score. We fight for that pitching change, and that's what happened today. We're ready to get to tomorrow and compete the same way we did today,"
On hitting more homers than the NCAA leaders:
"That's a great positive. Chelsea (Kehr) hit two home runs to help us win games last week, so for her to continue to do that was a huge momentum shift."
Senior infielder Chelsea Kehr
On the competitiveness of the game:
"It really shows how much fight we have in us and how much we believe in each other. If we had just caught a few more balls here and there, I think we could have had them. We would have had them on the ropes, and that was our main goal going into that game, to have them on the ropes and give ourselves a shot. Being able to fight back shows our teams character. We never gave up. We say before every game, I don't care who we're playing because we always play our game. We could be playing the USA National Team and we wouldn't care, we would still be going out there and having a blast and doing everything we could to win."
On the grand slam:
"It just means a lot because I could feel the momentum slipping from us, and we needed to get something that inning, so being able to do that shows that we come back after getting runs scored on us. We loaded up the bases to try to make something happen, and we always just battle."
Sophomore pitcher Melanie Russell
On her performance:
"I felt great. We prepared all week for it, so it was just another game and another team to face."
On what Arizona does well:
"They take hacks. But I think I kept the ball low in the zone, and they're a good hitting team,"
NCAA Softball Championships
Tucson, Ariz., Regional
May 16, 2014
Game 1 - LSU 13, Louisville 9
TUCSON, Ariz.--Louisiana State (36-22) moved on in the winner's bracket with a 13-9 victory over Louisville (36-21) in the NCAA Softball Championships regional opener at Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium Friday night.
LSU's three-bomb first inning staked the Tigers to an early lead, but it didn't stand up.
Centerfielder A.J. Andrews led off LSU's bottom of the first with a home run to right-center off Louisville starter Maryssa Becker. An out later, designated player Sahvanna Jaquish socked her team-best 14th homer to chase Becker after just three batters.
Reliever Rachel Le Coq served up a first-pitch home run to Bianka Bell to make it 3-0.
Hannah Kiyohara collected Louisville's first hit off Corbello (18-8) in the third, dropping a sinking double down the right-field line. She moved up on a fly ball and scored UL's first run on an RBI single by Jordan McNary.
LSU answered by batting around in the third. An RBI single by Sandra Simmons followed a pair of walks, Allison Falcon knocked a two-run double, and then after Tammy Wray was hit by a pitch, Bailey Landry singled up the middle to drive in Falcon for a 7-1 lead, and chase Le Coq in favor of reliever Caralisa Connell (10-6).
Taner Fowler and Maggie Ruckenbrod had back-to-back one-out doubles in the UL fourth, with Kiyohara hitting a sacrifice fly, and Kelsi Jones picking up an RBI single to cut the margin to 7-3.
The Cardinals knotted the score with a four-run fifth, with three of the runs unearned. Kayla Soles had an RBI single, an infield error brought in one more and Kiyohara knocked a two-run single.
It took LSU only a few minutes to regain the lead, batting around for the second time in the game. Wray followed a hit by Kellsi Kloss, a sac by Simmons and a hit by Falcon to bring in one tally, Landry walked to load the bases, and an illegal pitch brought in Falcon. After a walk and a fielder's choice, pinch-hitter Alayna Falcon singled to right for a 10-7 lead. A throwing error by third baseman Whitney Arion brought in two more runs.
Louisville picked up a pair of runs in the top of the sixth on a single by Katie Keller and a two-run home run by Duncan. LSU came right back with doubles from Falcon, her fourth hit, and Wray to make it 13-9
LSU will play the winner of the Boston University-Arizona game to open action here at 1:30 p.m. (MST/PDT) Saturday for the right to play in Sunday's championship game. The Cardinals play an elimination game against Boston in the second Saturday game at 4:30 p.m. local time.
LSU postgame press conference transcript:
Head coach Beth Torina
Opening statement:
"Give a lot of credit to our offense tonight. I thought they scored early, they scored often, they continued to put the pressure on Louisville, and they did a really nice job of battling against every pitcher they saw tonight. A ton of respect to Louisville, they fought so hard tonight. What a quality program and we have a lot of respect for what they did tonight."
On the early offense:
"Unbelievable momentum, and unbelievable to have our leadoff hitter go out and set the tempo for us like that. You can't ask for much more than that performance right there"
Senior third baseman Tammy Wray
"We just focused a lot in buying into the plans that coaches give us. We were kind of feeding off of each other, bring our trust into everyone before and after us, and having confidence that if we don't get it done, they will. I know that it helps me personally knowing that the person behind me is going to get it done. A lot of credit to everyone in the lineup, they did great tonight."
Senior infielder Allison Falcon
"A lot of credit to our coaches for having us prepared for every specific pitcher that came in. We saw three different pitchers and having a plan every time going up was a real confidence booster."
On her performance:
"I credit that to our preparation we had. We started on Monday knowing we were going to work outside a lot more."
Louisville postgame press conference transcript:
Head coach Sandy Pearsall
Opening statement:
"I don't know that I've been in a regional game quite like that. It wasn't really a pretty game for either team, I don't think, in terms of pitching. Both teams were hitting the ball very well, and it was just a really crazy game. But I'm proud of my team. They did not quit. Certainly when we fell behind early in the game they could have quit, but they didn't. They came back and fought hard and that's what kept us in it."
On LSU's offensive success:
"I think what happened there was Marissa didn't really have it. She was hanging her pitches right up in the zone and when she hangs her change up up in the zone that's a problem for us, and clearly they capitalized on it right away. It really came down to the pitching, and we needed to keep the ball down in the zone."
On the team's resolve:
"I think that comes down to the fact that I have some upperclassmen that are driving the ship. They got out there and they refused to lose, and they decided they were going to dig in and fight. You never know sometimes what seniors are going to do, but this senior class has a lot of fight and they're not going to give up, ever."
On preparing for the next opponent:
"Well we were waiting to see what would happen here to see who we would face, but, obviously, we've done our homework on Arizona an Boston, and obviously Arizona is going to hit the ball and so is Boston. This is a regional. Everybody is going to hit the ball. They're here for a reason. They put offense on the field and pitch the ball, and for us, pitching seems to be a little bit of a struggle right now."
Senior second baseman Katie Keller
On LSU's offense:
"I knew they were going to hit the ball, but I didn't think they were going to come out like that because Marissa has been pretty strong for us, but we fought back really hard, and tomorrow is going to be a whole different day for us."
On playing in this atmosphere:
"It's different playing here, but we know they are going to hit the ball, so we're just going to have to come back and hit it as hard."

Chantel Christie has had enough of the back and forth drama with Draya Michele. On April 2, Enstarz reported that Chantel dug deep in her text messages and Skype account and finally showed proof that Orlando is a cheater.
Throughout the Orlando Scandrick cheating scandal, Draya has maintained that her man is innocent. She even explained to Jackie Christie that her daughter Chantel hooked up with Orlando's friend, not Orlando. Chantel says that is not the truth and insists she was hanging out with Orlando himself before she knew he was with Draya.
The fight was on after Jackie told Draya about Chantel and Orlando and the drama just keeps going. At this point, the information that Jackie shared doesn't seem to be the issue but rather the way she delivered it. When telling a friend that the man she is in love with is cheating on her, it's best not to do it in front of a crowd. Especially when one of the women in attendance is only there for the drama and gossip.
The fight got even more heated after the latest episode when Chantel popped up while Jackie and Draya were together. Draya was upset and felt sideswiped. She had been asked to meet with Chantel and said no. It was not cool to force a meetup anyway. Draya will surely get payback for that.
After an intense Twitter battle between Draya and Chantel while the episode was airing for the first time, Chantel got to work digging up proof. She posted pictures of the text messages between herself and Orlando as well as a copy of the Skype invitation he sent her. The images were quickly removed from her Instagram account but not plenty of people saved them. Mediatakeout was first to post pictures of the evidence and it looks bad for Orlando.
All correspondence between Chantel and Orlando was marked June 2013. Draya and Orlando recently celebrated a year together. June 2013 was less than a year ago. You do the math.

UMass Announces C.J. Anderson And Rashaan Holloway As Men's Basketball Signees
Nov. 18, 2013
AMHERST, Mass. - Massachusettshead men's basketball coach Derek Kellogg has announced that C.J. Anderson and Rashaan Holloway have each signed a National Letter of Intent to play for the Minutemen, beginning next fall.
Anderson is a 6-foot-5, 175-pound wing out of Memphis, Tenn. who can play guard or forward. He attends Arlington High School and plays club ball for Team Thad. He is a 3-star recruit according to both Rivals and Scout.com.
"He fits nicely with the type of kids we have and what we are trying to do here." Kellogg said. "It kind of keeps that Memphis pipeline going for us, from Sampson (Carter) to Demetrius (Dyson) and now CJ."
He was named to the Class AAA All-Memphis team a year ago after averaging 18 points, six assists and six rebounds while leading Whitehaven High School to a 24-10 record.
He played at Arlington as a freshman and sophomore before moving to Whitehaven for his junior season prior to returning to Arlington for this year.
Arlington is off to a 4-0 start and ranked fourth in Memphis this season. Anderson is averaging 22 points, 10 boards and 8 assists.
Team Thad reached the finals of the Gulf Coast Hoopfest and the Bill Hensley Memorial Run and Slam.
Holloway is a 6-foot-10, 280-pound power forward from Elmer, N.J. He has been a dominant player at Schalick H.S. and with the Philly Ballhawks travel squad. He has a 3-star rating by ESPN.com and is the No. 10 rated player in New Jersey.
"I really like him as a kid and he's got good people around him, so I think that's key for his success," Kellogg said. "He's a big guy with great hands and he can finish around the rim. And he brings something to us that we haven't had in a while in that he's a legitimate, true center."
Holloway averaged 22.8 points per game as a junior, with 17 games of at least 20 points for coach Eric Cassady. He surpassed the 1,000-point mark in February, just three days before a career-high 42-point, 21-rebound game. He also pulled down 13 boards per contest and blocked 140 shots over the team's 26 outings. For his efforts, he was named the Salem County Player of the Year and a First Team All-Tri Country Conference.
He led the Cougars to the South Jersey Group 1 semifinals and quarterfinals the last two seasons. He averaged 17.1 points and 12.5 rebounds during his sophomore season.
Holloway saw his game improve dramatically after his first two years of high school and through his AAU team. This summer he was named to the All-Tournament teams at the Hoop Group Pitt Jam Fest, Hoop Group Philly Jam Fest and Donofrio Classic.
