SAN JOSE, Calif. ?- The ninth-seeded Arizona women's basketball team upset No. 8-seed Oregon 63-57 in the first round of the Pac-10 Tournament at HP Pavilion tonight. With the win, the Wildcats improve to 8-21 on the season and advance to the quarterfinals, where they will face top-seeded Stanford at 5 p.m. (PST).
Arizona shot 40 percent from the field, 50 percent from three-point range and 74 percent from the free throw line on the game. Oregon connected on 39 percent from the field, 31 percent from downtown and 64 percent from the charity stripe on the game. The Ducks dominated the boards, 43 to 28, but the Wildcats won the turnover battle 14 to 20.
"I'm just so proud of our players," Head Coach Joan Bonvicini said. "We have had a difficult season, so we felt coming in that this was our chance to start over a little bit. We felt that our pressure could really affect the outcome of the game. I felt that we had to utilize our quickness and the fact that we had a deeper bench than we did earlier in the season."
At the 2:40 mark of the first half, junior Joy Hollingsworthscored her 1,000th career point. She led the Wildcats with 22 points on the game. Sophomore Ashley Whisonant added 17 points, three steals, two assists and a blocked shot. Senior Natalie Jones was held to just seven points on 1-of-5 from the field. Freshman Amina Njonkou led Arizona with five boards.
Arizona jumped out to a 6-2 lead, as Whisonant scored all six of Arizona's points. The Wildcats later led 9-4, but Oregon scored five straight points to tie it at nine. After a tie at 11, Arizona scored eight straight to take its largest lead of the game, 19-11. Oregon later cut it to three (22-19), but Arizona used a 12-5 run to go up by 10, 34-24. The Ducks closed out the half on a 4-1 run and the Wildcats went into the locker room at halftime up by seven, 35-28.
Arizona shot 50 percent from the field, 67 percent from three-point range and 72 percent from the free throw line on the half. Oregon, meanwhile, connected on 37 percent from the field, 25 percent from downtown and 57 percent from the charity stripe.
The Ducks out-rebounded the Wildcats 18 to 16 and won the turnover battle seven to eight. Hollingsworth paced Arizona with 11 points, followed by Whisonant with 10.
Arizona opened the second half on a 6-2 run, all points scored by Hollingsworth, to take an 11-point lead (41-30). Oregon responded with a 14-7 run to make it a four-point game, 48-44. The Ducks later cut it to two (54-52), but a Hollingsworth trey extended it back to five and put the game out of reach for good, as Arizona went on to the seven-point win.
Arizona faces top-seeded Stanford at 5 p.m. (PST) tomorrow, March 4.

Bradley Golden has chosen a very interesting way to produce, and distribute his comic, Orision. The 30-page B&W comic has been set up in 10-page segments that are each individually available for a mere $0.99 as a digital download from ComiXology, and ComicsFix download all three chapters for $1.99 or acquire the whole print comic as a Print on Demand (PoD) for $2.99. "My idea is to give the reader a choice. They can buy each chapter for at their own pace to get it all either as a PDF or in print." It is through this kind of customized marketing that he can allow potential readers to sample the comic at a low buy-in before committing to a new, unknown title; a very smart marketing move on his part.
As for the story itself, the tale begins with Millionaire Steven Gedian the head of an international medical technology company named Engen, sending an expedition up the deadly Shishapangma Mountain looking for a cure to his brain cancer.However, once on the mountain, the team winds up blowing the tomb to the Orision open releasing the legendary prag demo. Once loose the demon begins killing the crew forcing Steven Gedian to send in a rescue expedition to search for the original team. Once the rescue team lands on the scene they quickly realize things are not what they seem. Now the rescue team is in a fight for their lives to get off the mountain alive.
According to Golden, Orision is from Greek mythology and means "soul eater" and the image that he chose to depict this creature is truly something out of someone's legendary nightmare — all teeth, claws and tentacles, and full of an unstoppable bezerker rage. While we don't learn much about either the creature or the major players in this first trilogy of terror, Golden
Written by Bradley Golden and Nick Philpott, illustrated by Ugur Sertcelik, Matt Santorelli, and Lettered by Chris Allen with a Cover variant by Primal Makoto Studio, and published by Second Sight Studios. For their part, Golden and Philpott have crafted a very engaging tale, the storytelling and the way it unfolds gives each chapter a full (if only a section) of the on-going tale which continues to move forward, revealing only a portion of the over-all story. Each of the characters reacts in a perfectly plausible way, with the dialogue flowing organically out of the action as it occurs.
Not being satisfied with what he has already created, Golden has not only already scripted out the fourth chapter of the tale, but he is working on yet another comic that he will also deliver in the same way, via chapters on both ComiXology, and ComicsFix.

Oct. 22, 2011
Sophomore Evan Kendrick, who has been sidelined with an injury since the Georgia Invitational, seeks to return to action at the SEC Championships on Oct. 29 after watching his teammates compete the last few weeks. Kendrick recently took some time to talk about his rehabilitation and the season thus far.
How did you feel about the men's and women's performance at the Crimson Classic?I think they raced really well. I thought some of the guys had a tough day but as far as effort goes, both teams did great.
How do you feel now after coming off an injury?It's almost a 100 percent improvement now because I'm running again. I should hopefully be in position to compete in SEC Championships coming up.
What kind of training have you been allowed to do since you're injury?I've been doing lots of biking, swimming and cross training. This is actually the first week though I've been able to be on my feet the whole time with zero cross training. That's a huge improvement for me.
Have you ever face an injury like this before?I redshirted indoor and outdoor last season so I feel like I've been injured ever since I got to Alabama. I didn't get much training over the summer so my fitness level is not up to par compared to the other runners.
Has the physical rehabilitation been difficult for you?One can only do so much cross training. It's a nice complement to physical running but it's easier to get your fitness level back up with cross country.
What changes have you seen in this year's team?It's been a 180 degree difference. We're very organized and we always have a process and game plan to follow, which is to compete for the SEC Championship.
What goals have you set for yourself this season?Just race. I just want to be able to go out there and race. I don't worry about times. I figure if I'm racing well enough then fast times will come with that.
How was the transition been from high school competition to collegiate athletics?It's been great. There's obviously a greater workload involved with mileage increase. I feel like I've had a smoother transition than most, though.

College Hockey:Canisius Coach Awaits Word Following Suspension
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Suspended Canisius coach Brian Cavanaugh is still waiting for word on his fate. Sources say a press conference will be held this week to announce whether Cavanaugh, the program's coach of 20 years, will be cleared of wrongdoing or fired, but no official announcement has yet come from the school.
Cavanaugh was suspended indefinitely by the school after allegedly hitting freshman defenseman Matt Coulter on the head with a hockey stick during practice last Wednesday.
According to the Buffalo News, Cavanaugh was removed from Thursday's practice and the college is conducting an investigation into the matter.
"Brian Cavanaugh has done a awful lot for this program and this community," said athletic director Timothy Dillon to the News. "We're trying to work through a personnel situation fairly. We all make mistakes, and it's just something to deal with and work through."
Cavanaugh told ESPN.com that he only tapped Coulter on the head with a stick to get him to pay attention. According to Cavanaugh, Coulter proceeded to participate in a full scrimmage for 45 minutes following the incident.
But Coulter did not practice Thursday, nor did he play in either of Canisius' two games this past weekend. Coulter has been advised not to discuss the incident.
Dillon, however, hinted that Coulter being scratched had to do with medical reasons.
"Medical records are between the student-athlete, myself, the coach and the trainer," said Dillon to the Buffalo News when asked why Coulter didn't play. "Medically, I can't talk about it because there's a federal law that keeps that confidential."
Assistant coach Troy MacCormick was named the acting head coach in Cavanaugh's absence.
The team has some time now to sort things out; they don't play again until Dec. 29.
Cavanaugh is in his 20th season as head coach of the Ice Griffs. He has a 283-238-38 career record, all at Canisius, including 3-5-2 this year (2-4-2 MAAC).

UPS Store in Lexington will hold Shred Fest event
Published: Monday, May 12, 2014 at 4:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 12, 2014 at 4:48 p.m.
The UPS Store in Lexington will join 21 other participating locations in the Triad and host a Shred Fest on Saturday.
Customers can receive free shredding services up to five pounds and shredding for 75 cents per pound after the initial five pounds; limit to one per household. The store is at 31 S. Talbert Blvd. and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Federal Trade Commission estimates that nearly 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year, and rummaging through trash is one of the common ways identity thieves victimize consumers. The Shred Fest gives customers the chance to dispose of documents containing personal information.
The FTC encourages consumers to shred charge receipts, copies of credit applications, insurance forms, physician statements, checks and bank statements, expired charge cards that are being discarded and credit offers received in the mail.

As stories about brutalized victims of religious fanaticism continue to circulate in the media, a petition by the organization Human Rights for Atheists, Agnostics and Secularists ("HRAAS") to end oppressive blasphemy laws has been garnering attention and support from celebrities in a variety of fields.
The petition to the United Nations Human Rights Commission seeks to amend Articles of the U.N. Charter to include protection from religious oppression, including archaic and barbaric blasphemy laws. So far, over 10 thousand people have signed and shared the petition, including atheists, agnostics, secularists, humanists and "nones," as well as Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and Wiccans.
These signers include noted scientists and scholars such as Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers and Sam Harris; comedians Ricky Gervais, Roseanne Barr and Pat Condell; Jewish and Christian scholars, rabbis, ministers and politicians; members of the Muslim Canadian Congress; Indian freethinkers; and apostates from Islam as well as other religions.
HRAAS founder Michael Sherlock, Atheist Ireland chairperson Michael Nugent and I also recorded with Australian radio host Adam Reakes and Indian blasphemy-law victim Sanal Edamaruku a significant radio program outlining the dangers of antiquated and human-abusing blasphemy laws and their offshoots.
Another important radio program features the two Michaels and me for the same purpose of exposing blasphemy injustices and perils, hosted by "Godless Spellchecker."
Dangerous 'Hate Speech' Legislation
Blasphemy law offshoots include censorship efforts disguised as "hate speech" legislation that essentially protects religions from "insult." The flawed reasoning is that if we criticize an ideology, we are attacking the people who follow it. This illogical misapprehension has allowed for outspoken individuals exposing facts and truth about ideologies to be arrested and tried for "hate speech" and "inciting racial hatred," among other fallacious and indecent charges.
One such charge within this hate-speech genre concerns "denigration of religion," a perilous and nebulous notion, especially in consideration of the fact that many repugnant ideas have been included under the rubric of "religion," including rape, torture, murder, genocide and cannibalism. This capricious type of legislation has ensnared people like Austrian Islam critic Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff.
In this regard, our petition is designed to protect nonbelievers and religious minorities alike from both blasphemy laws and religiously based hate-speech legislation. We are asking all people of conscience, whether believers or unbelievers, to sign and share our petition.
Blasphemy Legislation Can Be Found Globally
Although not widely known, blasphemy and hate-speech legislation can be found throughout the world. Blasphemy laws that include the death penalty are on the books in the following countries:
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Some form of blasphemy and hate-speech laws exists in the following countries, including many Westernized nations:
Czech Republic
New Zealand
Russian Federation
South Africa
United Kingdom
Thus, religious oppression and suppression of basic human rights affect hundreds of millions globally and are not just localized to a particular area of the world.
Below is the letter sent by Human Rights for Atheists, Agnostics and Secularists to the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights, Ms. Navi Pillay. Sending this letter is just the beginning of our efforts, as we are all dedicated volunteers in for the long haul, also having established - thanks in large part to petition creator Michael Sherlock - a Facebook page and website, which can be reached at the convenient link BlasphemyLaws.net.
To: The Honorable Navanethem Pillay
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights
Office of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights
Palais des Nations, CH-1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland
Re: Freedoms and Rights for Nonreligious and Secular People Worldwide
Dear Ms. Pillay:
We the signers humbly ask you to consider both a human rights petition and concern shared by a growing number of people persecuted for non-belief in religious dogma, including millions of atheists, agnostics and secularists around the world. Both the petition and the concern regard the enactment and enforcement of so-called blasphemy laws and their offshoots, such as defamation of religion and religious-insult "hate speech" legislation, in member states. The reality is that these blasphemy laws and "hate speech" legislation violate the cornerstone rights of freedom of expression, thought and conscience, tenuously upheld by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1976), Articles 18 and 19 in particular.
Advocates of blasphemy legislation and its offshoots argue that these laws protect the harmony of pluralistic societies. However, as demonstrated by a number of conclusive studies (available upon request) the enforcement of blasphemy laws actually deepens divisions among religious and secular groups, creating unnecessary civil unrest.
Discrimination and Dictatorship
In practice, blasphemy laws are used to infringe upon basic human rights, often utilized in a discriminatory and dictatorial manner, as they bestow upon inhumane leaders the legal means by which these rulers can persecute both religious minorities and non-religious groups alike.
Such legislation frequently leads to arbitrary arrest; detention; poor treatment in custody, including torture and death; dubious legal procedures; and poor application of justice. Additionally, the definition of an alleged blasphemy offense often lies in the hands of police and judicial authorities, again wielded arbitrarily and dictatorially.
Abuses of blasphemy legislation include the following:
- Governments have used blasphemy laws to silence political opponents.
- Religious authorities employ blasphemy legislation to impose doctrinal orthodoxy on members of religious groups, often with the sanction of the state.
- Religious extremists utilize blasphemy laws to attack other sects, critics and nonbelievers, frequently fatally.
- Unscrupulous individuals have fabricated blasphemy charges against others in local, communal disputes.
- Vigilante mobs have committed violence against innocent and/or defenseless individuals accused of blasphemy, whether or not truthfully.
Moreover, blasphemy and "religious insult" legislation often is discriminatory based on social class and status, since it creates provisions whereby a skilled and educated defendant stands far less chance of prosecution than a less educated and privileged individual.
Suppression of Basic Freedoms and Other Objections
Even in relatively democratic regions, blasphemy and religious-insult "hate speech" laws have a universal "chilling effect" upon normal freedom of expression, including and especially free speech and the right to dissent.
Blasphemy legislation is a species of libel with no real rules of evidence or proof.
Blasphemy laws are either exclusive, favoring one religion over others, or else try to be inclusive, in which case they may be inadequate for protecting religious beliefs in conflict with one another.
Moreover, the legal criteria for recognition as an authorized or accepted religious group—where laws do not protect a specific, established religion—can be problematic and often are defined poorly.
Petition by Human Rights for Atheists, Agnostics and Secularists
To oppose arbitrary and barbaric blasphemy legislation, our organization Human Rights for Atheists, Agnostics and Secularists has created a petition, attached below, appealing to the United Nations to amend Articles 1.3, 13.1 (b), 55 (c) & 76 (c) of the Charter of the United Nations and the Statute of the International Court of Justice to include the non-religious and secular as an expressly protected group.
In so amending, the United Nations would be sending a clear message to its member states that imprisoning, torturing, executing and otherwise molesting secularists and nonbelievers such as atheists and agnostics is incompatible with basic human rights. As it presently stands, there are 13 countries around the world that can execute secularists and nonbelievers, along with many others that prescribe imprisonment and/or issue fines to those who do not share the majority religious view of the state or who are accused of "religious insult" or "hate speech."
The primary aim of this limb of our petition—which has the support of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Ricky Gervais, Roseanne Barr and other secular, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu signatories—is to bind member states that have refused to sign the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1976). Our petition also aims to implore the United Nations to amend the ICCPR by narrowing and tempering the restrictions on freedom of expression enunciated in Articles 18.3 and 19.3 (a) and (b), as well as Article 20.2.
In this regard, our petition is in line with the proclamation made in 2011 by the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which declared that "prohibitions of displays of lack of respect for a religion or other belief system, including blasphemy laws, are incompatible with the [ICCPR]." (See; Human Rights Committee, "General comment no. 34, Article 19: Freedoms of opinion and expression," UN Doc. CCPR/C/GC/34, para. 48; 2011.)
We thank you for your time and hope that you give this matter the attention that it deserves, on behalf of millions of human beings globally.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
This costume was super fun to make and wear! Tackling the "stained glass" border was really fun! I ended up using gold vinyl that I cut the designs out of and overlaying that on top of a batik that I had covered in clear iron on vinyl to give it the glassy effect. The fabric for the dress was given to me by a friend who was planning on making this costume too and she happened to have extra! The belt and bow were made with dupioni silk that I dyed. That was definitely an adventure! This was also my first time making my own ponytail wig and I used Hezachan's tutorial for that! The headpiece was made from a wire base and then covered in paperclay. I then spray painted it with a textured pain to make it look more like stone. The gem was resin cast.
- Personal Thoughts:
- More people need to play Fire Emblem!
PS. I'm a dragon!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Free Speech
Em 24 de abril de 2014, a presidenta do Brasil, Dilma Rousseff, assinou o Marco Civil da Internet, um quadro de regulamentação da Internet baseado em direitos civis, pelo qual ativistas do Brasil há muito tempo vinham lutando. Apelidado de "Constituição da Internet", a lei visa reforçar a proteção das liberdades fundamentais na era digital. Apesar de ter sido desenvolvida através de um processo participativo, a lei não deixou de cair na tradicional negociata do processo legislativo, o que resultou em diversas concessões. Uma das mais prejudiciais, e ferozmente combatida por ativistas de direitos digitais, foi um mandato de retenção de dados que obriga a coleta e armazenamento de logs de conexões de qualquer indivíduo inocente.
On April 24, 2014, Brazil's President, Dilma Rousseff, signed Marco Civil Da Internet, a civil-rights based framework for the Internet which Brazilian activists have long fought. Dubbed the "Internet Constitution," the law seeks to reinforce the protection of fundamental freedoms in the digital age. The law was developed through a participatory process, but not without getting caught in the traditional horse-trading of the legislative process, which resulted in several concessions. One of the most damaging concessions, fiercely opposed by digital rights activists, was a data retention mandate that compels the collection and storage of connections logs of any innocent individual.
In comments yesterday during a cybersecurity conference at the New America Foundation, the Director of the NSA, Admiral Mike Rogers faced vocal criticism from the tech community (including cryptography expert Bruce Schneier and Yahoo CISO Alex Stamos). The criticism focused on the Obama administration's insistence that it should have access to everyone's encrypted communications via a backdoor, sometimes called a "golden key." Security experts caution that such a magic key, usable only by the "good guys" is—like magic—not actually possible.
The mainstream media has paid a lot more attention to abuse and harassment on Twitter lately, including a recent story by Lindy West on This American Life about her experience confronting an especially vitriolic troll. She isn't alone—and it appears that for the company at least, the number of Twitter users speaking out about harassment has reached critical mass. In an internal memo obtained by The Verge earlier this month, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo acknowledged Twitter's troubled history with harassment, writing:
Fighting against the sanctions regime for the right to information and innovation can sometimes feel like a cat and mouse game, but today, citizens of Sudan are like the cats that got the cream. After years of campaigning from Sudanese and international activists alike, a success: The Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC) at the US Department of Treasury has issued a general license for the export of hardware and software "incident to personal communications" to Sudan.

Last week in this very space, I renewed my call for a comprehensive core review for the City of Nanaimo. The reasoning behind this request is fairly simple - we desperately require one.
As mentioned, I'm sure the mere mention of "core review" sends city staffers scurrying for cover.
I can hazard a guess at their response as well.
"Why do we need one?" Their questioning would come with the requisite predictions of doom and gloom.
I can also picture them suggesting that asking for a review of such magnitude would somehow suggest that they are doing something extremely wrong.
That's not the case at all. A core review could come back and indicate we reside in the most efficient, well-run city in North America.
It could indicate that staff members are doing a bang-up job and their critics should effectively zip it.
It could also suggest that there is some fat to trim.
Either way, we need to get on with it.
It remains imperative that we restore a level of trust to city hall.
Taxpayers have had enough of the secrecy and decisions made behind closed doors.
If there's a perception out there that politicians are led around by the nose by staffers, let's put that to rest.
I have an enormous amount of respect for anyone who tosses their hat into the political ring. It's a thankless but important job.
I also don't doubt that the city has all kinds of talented, dedicated professionals on the payroll.
But what we have is an organization with a multimillion-dollar payroll. And those millions belong to us.
It's natural for a bit of slack to develop over time. Policing themselves isn't the thing to do.
We need an outside organization, with no fingers in the proverbial pie, to come in and tell us what's what.
It has reached this point because of a lack of vision, a lack of transparency and a whole lot o' spending that hasn't always made sense.
By my count last week, there has been $200 million of our cash spent (or about to be spent) on projects surrounded by a lot of questions.
Because the money trough is endless, the snouts can just keep dipping back in, year after year, and not worry about their mistakes. That wouldn't fly at a real business, there would be massive changes.
Again, the purpose here isn't to have these folks hiding under their desk.
Taxpayers want to know exactly what is happening with their money. We want our politicians to do things out front, instead of behind closed doors, and we want to ensure the decisions make by staff members are the best possible choices. Only then can the city truly move forward.
And that can only happen following a full core review.

The Art History Major
Requirements for a Major
Art History: 72 credits including: the seminar for art history majors (Art History 298); the integrative exercise (Art History 400); two Studio Art courses; and 48 elective credits in Art History, normally including Art History 101 and 102, as well as at least one course in non-Western art history, one course in art history of the western tradition before 1800, one course in art history of the western tradition after 1800, and one 300-level seminar. Art History majors are encouraged to take advantage of off-campus study programs. No more than two art history courses taken outside of the department can be counted toward the major. Occasionally one course in a related department such as Cinema and Media Studies may count as an elective toward the major.
Course Offerings
Certain courses in the major are offered every year, with ARTH 101 each fall, ARTH 102 each winter, ARTH 298 each spring, and ARTH 400 scheduled individually by each senior major. Beyond this there is no reliable pattern for when courses will be taught. Each year the department seeks to offer courses at a range of different levels and spanning a variety of subject areas. At least one course--and usually more--in each elective distribution category will be offered every year but not necessarily in any given term. Note that A&I seminars and OCS courses can count toward the major as electives but cannot fulfill any distribution requirements within the major. Certain courses, especially 300-level seminars, are offered only rarely, but the following courses, listed by distribution category, are generally offered once every two to three years.
Non-Western Art History
ARTH 140: African Art and Culture
ARTH 164: Buddhist Art
ARTH 165: Japanese Art and Culture
ARTH 166: Chinese Art and Culture
ARTH 209: Chinese Painting
ARTH 220: Gender and Genre in the Floating World: Japanese Prints
Art History of the Western Tradition before 1800

ARTH 223: Women in Art
ARTH 233: Van Eyck, Bosch, Bruegel: Their Visual Culture
ARTH 234: Italian Renaissance Art
ARTH 238: Rembrandt, Vermeer and Netherlandish Art
Art History of the Western Tradition after 1800
ARTH 160: American Art to 1940

Class listings for the coming year may be found at the registrar's site.

You can't think of a better place to put zippers than right on your hips. This way, at Thanksgiving, when you've stuffed yourself with turkey, cranberry sauce, biscuits, green beans, pineapple casserole, pecan pie, and cider, you can simply expand your pants at the waist and dig in for thirds.

Since the launch on March, 16th Apple is touting that it has sold over 3 million i-Pads quite a feat to accomplished to the amazing numbers the previous produced.SVP Philip Schiller called the figure
"the strongest iPad launch yet."
Yet another successful launch for Apple the only complaints that have been circulating are that the new i-Pad is heaver, thicker and gets a little hot with use. But the high resolution screen is where it's at! My suggestion if you have anything older than a i-Pad 2 get it, but if you have an i-Pad to I would probably hold off a bit wait for the next-gen.

The asymmetrical collar of this traditional Chinese blouse has been popular since the beginning of the Qing dynasty in 1644. Noblewomen would have worn heavily embroidered jackets and vests with frog-button collars like this. Rural Chinese still wear a less ornate version as a work jacket. This red cotton blouse combines the open neck and easy-care fabric of the rural style with an embroidered front hem that hints at the splendor of the Qing court. Red is the most auspicious color in Chinese culture, and the peony is called the flower of riches and honor.
3/4-length sleeves. Snaps at the neck; side zip. 100% cotton. Made in China. Women's sizes S (4–6), M (8–10), L (12–14), XL (16–18).
Machine wash.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my step grandaughter, who is slender and very stylish. I think she'll like its "different" aura for going out.

Nice but stingy trim
By Xine

About Me Comfort-oriented, Individualist, Stylish
This is very nice but I was disappointed to find that the trim on the bottom was only on the front. The images were obviously presented to obscure this and I find the implicit deception very disappointing for an institution like NG.
From National Geographic:Thank you for your comments regarding this blouse. We hope you enjoy wearing it. Although no deception was intended, we will take your comments into consideration for future product descriptions.

Beautiful and Classy
By Persistent Hope
from Wheaton, IL
About Me Stylish
I love the color and cultural nod this blouse bring!. Initially I was worried that I wouldn't be able to wear this often, that it would be too "ethnic" for office or hanging out, like the clothes I bring back from overseas trips. But I wore this hanging out with a friend, and she really liked it. We were downtown, and I got a lot of creepy guys going, "You look fine!" Now, that wasn't what I was going for, but at least I know it looks good. I plan on wearing it to work soon.The fit isn't great. I got a medium and while the length is great, it is a little tight around my chest and a little too big in the shoulders. I'm seriously considering getting it tailored.
Very Beautiful
By 702kellyw

About Me Comfort-oriented, Stylish
I had to send my back because I ordered the large and it was way too tight through the bust (and I am not large 36B). It was a beautiful shirt, color and accents were very rich) and I hated to part with it but you need to be a petite gal to wear it!

Beware of cultural differences in sizing
By NGS shopper
from Missouri
Ordered medium. Sung fit, but sexy, good thing the stiching is strong. Should have ordered next size larger. US women should order one size larger than they normally wear ... unless you have a young asian figure.

I'm a nature lover and landscape painting on location "gets me out there". Out there is all of Idaho, especially our local mountains, lakes, and rivers in all their grandeur. I refer to this fabulous studio as "My Own Backyard". This land is our legacy. I hope to impress the viewer of my art how precious and beautiful our natural environment is. For me soft pastels are the ideal painting medium to express my romance with the wet. Plein air painting is truly an opportunity to experience the Divine. This relationship is so exciting. When you find the right location and express it with pastels, it's magical. The final touches of my paintings are completed in my indoor studio.

My painting buddy and I would take off in her big SUV loaded with our gear, food and drinks. The ideal location was the goal and a gift from the divine. The panoramics excited me. Returning on a second day was required on most and at least a couple of days to finish at home base.

It should be no surprise that the current economic crisis has caused the rate of burglaries and break-ins to rise dramatically in Tetonia, ID. Criminals know that most homeowners will spend a fortune on the best furnishings, appliances, and electronics for their home, but will frequently scrimp when it comes to the security of those items. Fortunately, ADT Monitored Home Security Systems are an affordable, yet effective solution in Tetonia to protecting your home against the growing crime wave.
If your alarm is triggered in Tetonia, an alert is sent to one of ADT's networked Alarm Monitoring Services, via both cellular and landline connections, and ADT's highly-trained security professionals act immediately in quickly getting a police officer to your Tetonia home to investigate the situation. At the same time, you will receive communication directly from ADT so that you know what the situation is and what steps are being taken to prevent you from becoming the victim of a burglary.
With more than a hundred years of experience in providing home security options, ADT has perfected the formula of providing advanced home security devices that combine the latest and greatest safety features with usability for your Tetonia home. Consumers Digest gave ADT the award for "Best in Home Security" due to this and many other reasons. Once the installation of your ADT Monitored Home Security System is complete, the installer will walk you through the simple steps that are required to arm and disarm you alarm. You will also be shown how easy it is to use the built-in 2-way voice communication feature, which gives you direct contact with an ADT security expert.
Drive through any Tetonia neighborhood, and you are likely to see "Protected By" signs from a variety of home security companies, cautioning possible burglars and home invaders that they're increasing their chances of getting caught. These signs serve a dual purpose: free advertisement for security companies as well as a warning to potential intruders. However, no sign makes crooks more leery than a window decal or yard sign that reads "Protected by an ADT Monitored Home Security System". But what is it about an ADT monitored alarm that strikes fear into the hearts of crooks in Idaho? No other security company is able to match the amount of state of the art technology that supports an ADT Monitored Home Security System in ID.

Games Played While Alone
I was talking with friends the other day about being an only child. Only children are these strange hybrids of normal children because their lives are dramatically different than of those who grew up having to share a bathroom with a sibling, share toys with another small person, maybe even share a bed.
The way they interact with other children, and adults once they grow up, is also markedly different. They may not follow the social norms that people with siblings are accustomed to. They tend to be obnoxiously loud or suspiciously quiet. If they're the former, they've probably explained their life history to you because they've misidentified you as someone who had a fuck to give and you've kindly bestowed it upon them. If they're the latter, it's not because they're shy; they're watching you. Observing you. Making a mental catalogue of your nuances. You're intriguing to them. If this creeps you out, then good. It probably should.
There's a joke about vegans that goes like this: How do you spot a vegan at a party? You don't. They'll tell you.
Only children are the same way. Regardless of whether they're outspoken or reserved, they will find a way to make sure you know that they grew up devoid of siblings. For some it's a bit of a warning. A casual, "hey, if I seem weird as hell, here's the reason." For others, it's like a merit badge or something, like they proved themselves to be so utterly amazing that their parents threw their hands up in glee and said, "Fuck it! We're done! You're all we need!"
I know these things because I am an only child, and it frightens me to associate myself with any of my generalizations because they're embarrassing in how blatantly inherent they are. Unfortunately, these awkward quirks are something I find I am unable to avoid. I embrace them most of the time. Then I go home, buddy up with a bottle of wine, and lament that I can't fight fate.
One question that I get asked a lot after I've stood on a table and unnecessarily announced to the world that I'm an only child is, "Wasn't it lonely?" The simple answer to this is no. It was not. I spent most of my young life being alone, but I never felt lonely. Lonely is a feeling that I associate with losing something or someone. It's an impenetrable void that will suck you in and turn your world black. Loneliness is soul-crushingly excruciating and heartbreakingly beautiful in its own extraordinary way. Lonely and alone are not the same to me.
Alone…alone is my comfort zone. I often tell the story about the time when I was young, 6 or 7 years old, and I accidentally locked myself in a closet for a couple hours. I tell this story because it amuses me. You see, I was playing hide and seek and nobody came to find me. Nobody came to find me because I was playing by myself. That's what you do when you're an only child—you play multi-player games by yourself out of necessity and, oftentimes, out of comfort. You get to be the hider or the seeker. I was the hider that day, and it was wonderful once I got over the initial panic of realizing I'd probably die in the closet.
People usually have questions after I tell this story. The most frequent one is, "where were your parents?" My dad was working in his office in the basement and my mom was in the other room watching Matlock. It's not that they were being negligent, they just hadn't been informed that their child would be gallivanting throughout the house playing hide and seek by herself.
The next question is typically, "how long were you in there?" I often times say 6 hours, because that's what it felt like, but the truth is it was 5 episodes of Matlock long, so I guess that's about 2.5 hours.
The question I never get, however, is, "what did you do in there?" I imagine that people assume I was banging on the door the whole time, but I really only gave it about two solid minutes before I settled down in the corner. What I did after that will forever be a mystery. I got lost in my mind. I was completely at peace. I liked being in that closet, alone, lacking company. Being alone never scared me then, and it certainly doesn't scare me now.
I'm lucky to have amazing friends who understand me and who know how deeply I crave my personal time–my adult closet time, if you will. I don't measure it in Matlock episodes now, I just calculate it based on the end result. Have I come out of my hibernation a better person? Have I resolved whatever conflict may have inspired me to play grown-up hide and seek? I really can't leave my theoretical closet until I've accomplished what I locked myself in there to do.
I worry about how much it hurts the people I love when I want to play this game by myself. Maybe it doesn't at all. Maybe it upsets them terribly, because they're not used to having someone not invite them to play along. But that's the difference between only children and the rest of the world—I never learned how to share. Sure, I can share physical items, but my aloneness is something I will always be selfish about. That and my cheese.
Being alone is something that's weighed heavily on me for quite some time. I went on a business trip back in May and looked forward to it with sheer glee, because HO-LY SHIT, how alone was I going to be? I got there, went to the first day of my conference, and I went back to my room. I sat down in the arm chair and read the newspaper they'd slyly slipped under my door. I tried to read it a couple times, but I kept stopping to look around the room. Something was off, but I couldn't place it. Was my luggage gone? Nope, there it was on the other bed looking like it'd been packed by a blind man with a serious case of the shakes which is a method of packing borne of sheer laziness on my part.
I returned to my room the next night and tried to read the paper again, but I couldn't make it through a single sentence. I lowered my paper, looked around the room, and I finally figured it out. Nothing was amiss about the room, it was amiss with me. I wasn't alone there in San Francisco. I was painfully lonely.
That night and the next were spent in agonizing reflection of my life and who I was meant to be. I flew back home feeling like I'd escaped something. The next night, I went to a party with all my friends, and I hugged each one I could get my hands on. The feral look of confusion and fear in their eyes is something I'll never forget, but I didn't care at the time. I was just happy to be out of that closet I'd locked myself in and out in the wild with people who'd never had to go there in the first place.
I lost that game of hide and seek in May because I chose to hide, yet I found myself despite my best efforts. But that's the beauty of playing games with yourself—you can be the hider or the seeker. Maybe I was the seeker after all.
Oh, and Matlock won the trial, guys.
Classic Matlock.

Local Paper Mill Cuts Costs With New Generator
Submitted: 03/01/2013
Story By Ryan Abney
- Flambeau River Paper Mill in Park Falls helped itself by installing a Sulfur Burner generator in October. It's how the company is adding to the 11-million dollars it's already saved since re-opening in 2006.
CEO Butch Johnson has been with Flambeau Paper Mills since it re-opened. He knows the company failed the first time because its strategy was out-of-date.
"We see paper mills close all the time. It's really about having equipment that can be competitive in the global market that we're up against."
Focus on Energy President Masood Akhtar teaches his "green" strategy to companies' all-over Wisconsin. He also knows a paper mill with 300-employees can't afford to miss a step.
"If you lose one job in a paper mill, you affect another 6 or 7 jobs. So how will you compete with that, and how will you compete with China? The most important thing these companies can do is reduce their energy costs of manufacturing."
The new sulfur generator will save Flambeau Paper Mill an estimated 600-thousand therms of natural-gas a year.

Discovering New Animals in Antigo
Submitted: 07/01/2016
Play Video
- You can spot plenty of wildlife in orthern Wisconsin. However, you don't typically see a black belly barbado sheep or a royal palm turkey.
You can go check them out at the new It's All Good Farmstand and Petting Zoo right off Highway 45 in Antigo.
The It's All Good Farmstand and Petting Zoo has a simple goal. It wants people to see interesting animals.
"We decided, what the heck, we should open something to the public to so that everybody that does not have farm critters and enjoy them like we do, can come in and pet the critters and learn a lot of stuff," said owner Cheryl Wirz.
Wirz decided to have her family be part of her staff. It's something she really enjoys.
"I love the fact that my kids are here and they're getting a hands on experience," said Wirz.
"I mostly help load and unload the animals from home to here. Also, I fill up all the water when we get here, and I run the food booth," said staff member and son Aiden Wirz.
That all adds up to work for their kids and there are some perks to working for your parents.
"Mostly, they can't fire me," said Aiden, laughing.
Most animals look familiar to the guests when they come right up to them, but what about the specific breeds?
"We try to promote rare and critically endangered breeds of farm animals. Most people don't even know what they are," said Cheryl Wirz.
The Wirz family is also passionate about the quality of food for their animals.
"We do all organic produce and all of our critters eat all organic. In fact, we grow most of their food," said Cheryl Wirz.
Some young kids might be a litte nervous of the animals at first, but the friendly staff is there to help.
"Little ones will be really nervous and scared, but after awhile they're calmed down and they really love it," said staff member Natasha Lewer.
Even with all the hard work that goes into owning a farm, the happy visitors make it all worth it.
"They light up when they're in there. We had a gentleman that was in a wheelchair and all the animals surrounded him and he was just smiling from ear to ear," said Cheryl Wirz.

But the Merrill firefighter and paramedic knows chances are he'll likely respond to humans instead of fruit the next three days.
"It becomes a pretty busy weekend pretty quick," Cruise said.
Friday, Cruise and members of the Merrill Fire Department set off mortar shells and firecrackers demonstrating how quickly a fun holiday activity can turn into a trip to the ER.
"About 55 percent of those are related to your hands, arms, legs, kind of the extremities of your body," Cruise said.

Posted Nov 14, 2008 5:40pm by KathleenGPur...`
Are there any CarePage members out there doing caregiving for cancer victims with Right Frontal Lobe tumors? Besides the obvious "Cancer" issues, there is a lot of coping due to personalty changes. I married my soul mate 32 years ago but for the past almost 4 years I have been taking care of a very different person. We fight the cancer and we fight with each other. I have problems being the long suffering wife when I am also greiving the loss of the man I married. Anyone else dealing with like issues? How are you doing it?

Hello, I know exactly what you are talking about. My husband too has a brain tumor and has many mood swings and persoality changes bacause of this. His tumor was on the right temporal lobe. I have been dealing with this for a little over a year. We have some bad fights too, but I just have to remember this is not him. I also just pray and try to remember that GOd is with us and in control. My husband is also very negative and doesn't really have the faith that he will be ok. I just have to believe that he will be healed and try to enjoy the time we have together now.

Ruth came to me with a "headache". One BEST treatment took away the pain. What I didn't know
at the time was, she had a brain tumor a few years ago and went
through surgery and Chemo. It returned about nine months before she
saw me and it became a nonstop headache. Using BEST Treatments and a significant change in her
thoughts and nutrition, her doctor told her the tumor had reduced
in size by 60%. In the 1920's it was discoverd and published that a
cancer cell could not exist in an oxygen environment. What that
means to us is, all the discussion about Acid vs. Alkaline diet is
a key. The body produces acid as it works and digests food, but it
needs to be alkaline in order to have oxygen rich blood cells.
Thoughts like worry, frustration, hate, anger, etc. produce
chemical reactions in our bodies that produce an acidic state. So
the key for Ruth, and you, is; use BEST
to clear thoes memory engrams that make it easy for our body to
produce acid. Eat foods that produce an Alkaline ash residue, and
focus on healing rather than fighting a disease,

Almost 7 years ago, I had severe headaches & after 2 mos of my doctor trying to diagnose, a MRI was setup. I fortunately had a non-cancerous brain tumor in my left frontal lobe (almost softball size). A tumor of this size dramatically changed my personality & I was very depressed. I have a MRI every 3 yrs to keep things in check there was no known reason for the type of tumor I had. I did lose my sense of taste & smell forever, but I can deal with it. My thoughts are with all who are fighting the battle against cancer. I am currently the captain of a 30-person team for the ACS Relay for Life. Last year we raised over $5500 for the ACS to continue research to find a cure!

My mom just underwent brain surgery in July after a seizure. It was in the left frontal lobe the size of a lemon and had attached itself to both sides of the brain. After an 11 hour surgery it all came out. However she was left severely depressed and paralyzed on the left side. After 3 months of inpatient treatment she is walking with a walker and a brace. Hopefully she will walk again without any assistance. The depression and mood swings are very difficult to deal with but things have definitely gotten better with therapy and antidepressants. I was told it will take about a year to see full potential of how she is going to be for the rest of her life. Right now we are just taking things day by day. THis has definitely been a journey and we have just begun.

The tumor affected his mobility and he has lost his independence. It is very difficult. I do all the caregiving and I get yelled at. When others come over he is really nice.

Wow, so many different stories here. I think the frustrating part of all this is not knowing what's next or how long. One thing I have learned on this road is that its not the circumstance but how we all go through the circumstance. My husband was diagnosed with Melanoma Stage 3 in 2005. The first few years was a time of surgeries and treatments. Then in 2008, the melanoma traveled to his brain. Surgery and focal radiation were given. 6 months later it was back, along with others through out his body. In May 2009 the only thing left was trials. Very discouraging. Since May 2009 he can no longer walk. Mood swings, speech jumbled, can't sleep, tempature gauge is off, Symptoms change all the time. In Dec. 09 he could only eat shakes. Then everything changed and he is eating everything in the house. Since Easter more foggy and more moodiness. Since weaker. But we never know what will be next. All we can do is hold on and let God guide us daily. Encourage one another and grow through these circumstances.

I am 3 weeks and 3 days from my brain tumor surgery, a plum-size
benign tumor, located in my frontal lobe. I'm a 42 yr-old female
and relate to the many posts of behavioral change. Since my
surgery, my husband feels like he has a different wife! I had so
many of the symptoms that we now know are because of the tumor, but
we never, ever thought to consider a brain tumor as the cause!!
Headaches, fatigue, vertigo, nausea, vomiting, and most certainly
mood swings. I've been taking meds for depression and anxiety for
years, according to my neurosurgeon, the tumor was very slow
growing and could have been the cause of my depression for years—or
the symptoms it caused. I feel very blessed that I am cancer free
and my surgery went really well, and even feel like a new

5 years ago, I lost my husband to a dominant frontal lobe brain
tumor. His first symptom was a seizure 7 years before he died, but
I can say that the tumor began growing 3 years before the seizure.
I know this because of the way his personality changed. I married a
loving and supportive man who slowly changed to a vindictive
aggressive man. I was unaware of the tumor at first, and did not
realize until way too late that personality changes are common when
the tumor is in the frontal lobe. Looking back, I recall that the
neurosurgeon warned about personality changes, but I thought he
meant something like he would become an axe murderer. I even had
conversations with the kids about personal safety and escape
routes. I blamed myself and was sure I was doing things to upset
and disappoint him, so I kept trying to change myself. I believe
that chemo and radiation made the situation worse because it took
out more of the brain that controlled his personality. Surgery was
the best option, and for him, relatively simple to get through.
However, if he knew what was to become of him, I feel certain that
he would have slit his wrists rather than become the person that he
did. I quit my job to provide round the clock care, and drove him
all over the east coast for care and advice. The brain tumor him
appreciated none of this.

I came across this site just trying to research… which everyone says not to do. However, my twelve year old son goes back to the surgeon in two days… scared, worried and confused, I want to learn as much as I can. His symptoms started as a lot of the posts I've read. He was a ten year old boy getting headaches all the time. He was treated for allergies… didn't work.. his doctor sent him for an mri.. results showed a " subtle enhancing mass". I didn't know anything about it.. his Dr sent to a neurologist… who sees him every month. He said we will do another scan in three months. Had the scan.. his pediatrician called me to refer him to a surgeon. Did that..in the meantime I got a copy of the report from his second mri.. stable as compared to his clinical history of malignant neoplasm… what… why didn't the doctors tell me what we were looking,at!! Since then his headaches were getting worse and worse.. after missing six days of school they moved his next mri up a few months. The newest scan,shows the tumor had grown,3 mm in four months.. I know I am rambling… but his tumor is deep in his right temporal lobe towards the back. The surgeon said a biopsy was dangerous because of the location. It's grown so its probably not an option any longer… I guess I'm just venting… and also asking if any one can give me some insight… good or bad.. I need to know what to expect…

The frontal lobe is the part of the brain which effects behaviour and personality. When this part has had tumours etc, in a lot of cases it has turned the individual into a slightly different person as they were before. Some cant make decisions, some act aggressively, some cant seem to act in a norm way in public.(See Phineas Gage, most known case) Maybe cognitive therapy is an option for some cases.

This is also the area of the brain where neuropsychologists have
located where things such as ADHD/AUTISM/TOURETTES SYNDROME lie, which may explain mood swings. I dont

Trooper: Bicyclist hit and killed in Palm Coast
Published: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 6:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, July 11, 2013 at 8:53 p.m.
A 63-year-old bicyclist was struck from behind by a pickup and killed while riding on U.S. 1 just south of Belle Terre Boulevard in Palm Coast, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper said.

The 2004 Nissan Frontier, driven by Leila E. Gould, 30, of Bunnell, was also headed north when for an unknown reason it veered onto the east grass shoulder, re-entered the road and struck the back of the bicycle, the report states.
Dunn was knocked onto the grass shoulder and pronounced dead at the scene.
Neither Gould nor her passenger, Bodie D. Opel, 34, also of Bunnell, was injured in the accident.
Charges are pending the completion of the investigation, the report states.

Angel Locsin
Bulacan, Philippines
"I feel blessed to be chosen to endorse the game. I will certainly tell parents not to be afraid of online games. Online games are a good place to find friends."
- Angel Locsin
Though largely unknown outside of her native Philippines, Angel Locsin has forged an impressive career since making her professional debut less than a decade ago. A sex symbol, a popular actress and a well-known television personality, Angel Locsin has virtually conquered the Philippines' entertainment scene; could North America be next? We hope so.
Angel Locsin BiographyAngel Locsin was born and raised in the Philippines, and though her parents split up when she was 14, much of her adolescence was spent in the care of both her mother and father. Her entry into the entertainment industry was fortuitous, as she was spotted by a talent scout while skipping school and hanging out at a nearby mall. Following a series of auditions for local commercials and advertisements, Angel Locsin was offered a contract with GMA Network -- one of the biggest television networks in the Philippines -- and she soon made her debut on a teen program, Click.
Her popularity among male viewers skyrocketed after she appeared on the cover of FHM Philippines, and she has since been featured prominently within their pages -- she's become a staple in their special 100 Sexiest Women in the World issues and has been ranked first and second on the list.
Her burgeoning fame and increased notoriety led to several movie and TV roles, including 2000's Ping Lacson, Supercop, 2004's Singles and 2005's Let the Love Begin. Angel Locsin has never been afraid of controversy, as evidenced by her brief stint as a pitchwoman for Axe deodorant. In this role, she was featured in a risqué commercial which was eventually pulled after viewers complained about its content. Angel Locsin has also starred in the romantic film The Promise alongside Richard Gutierrez, and she stepped into the shoes of well-known Philippine comic-book heroine Darna in the film adaptation Darna: The Movie.
2006 was a busy year for Angel Locsin as she appeared on the TV shows Majika, and the movies TxT, I Will Always Love You and Mano Po 5: Gua Ai Di. Then, in 2007, Angel Locsin had roles on television in Asian Treasures and Maalaala Mo Kaya: Pilat and on the big screen in The Promise and Angels. Her '08 projects included ASAP '08 (TV) and I Knew I Loved You (film).

A Quote by Russell Page on facts, garden, good, heart, love, and mystery
'Green fingers' are a fact, and a mystery only to the unpracticed. But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart. A good garden cannot be made by somebody who has not developed the capacity to know and love growing things.

The highly anticipated rematch between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will take place this Saturday night at UFC 113 "Machida Vs. Shogun 2". UFC fans in the Huntsville, Alabama area will be able to watch the event at several local sports bars and restaurants such as Mickey's in downtown Huntsville, Hooters on University Drive, and both Buffalo Wild Wings locations on University as well as Carl T. Jones. Fans interested in watching UFC 113 at these locations should make every attempt to get there early. Waiting lists of at least two hours are not unusual at Hooters and Buffalo Wild Wings on nights of UFC pay per view events.
Machida is a perfect 16-0 in his mma career. He won the UFC's Light Heavyweight title from Rashad Evans at UFC 98 in May of last year, but has not fought since his prior clash with Shogun Rua at UFC 104 in October of 2009. That match was also the last for Rua, who is 18-4 in his mma career.
Two top welterweight division contenders will square off when Josh Koscheck faces Paul "Semtex" Daley. Sherdog.com reported yesterday that UFC President Dana White has announced that the winner of this bout will earn the next title shot against UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. There had been previous speculation that Koscheck would have to face his friend and American Kickboxing Academy training partner Jon Fitch at some point in order to secure a title fight. UFC President Dana White was very vocal about his desire to see a Koscheck vs. Fitch fight after Fitch's victory over Ben Saunders at UFC 111. A video of White's comments on the matter can be seen here on MMAweekly's youtube channel. For the time being, the Koscheck-Fitch issue is on the back burner as Fitch will face Thiago Alves at UFC 115.
Another highly anticipated fight on the card will be Kimbo Slice taking on Matt Mitrione. Mitrione is a former NFL player who participated in The Ultimate Fighter. His only professional mma fight was a victory over Marcus Jones at the finale of The Ultimate Fighter. Kimbo Slice's UFC debut was an uneventful decision victory over Houston Alexander which resulted in Alexander's dismal from the UFC.
The two other main card fights for UFC 113 are Sam Stout vs. Jeremy Stephens in the lightweight division and Patric Cote vs. Alan Belcher in the middleweight division. A few notable fighters on the under card include Marcus Davis, Jonathan Goulet, Johny Hendricks, and Jason MacDonald.
