Yes, I know this title is a little off-putting. But let's be completely honest with each other, it got you to start reading didn't it? Now this post probably isn't going to be what you expected but it will make you giggle if not laugh outright.
This past weekend was a momentous occasion for all basic white girls in the land…… LILLY CAME TO TARGET! If you don't know who "Lilly" is then congratulate yourself on not being a basic b!tch. Lilly Pulitzer is probably one of the most iconic designers of basic white girls. She's the one with all the loud ass looking carnival prints you see white preppy girls running around in. She also shot to fame with the Help of Mrs. Jackie O back in the 60's.
Well Target made every basic white girl's day by partnering with Lilly Pulitzer to do a small run of clothing, accessories & home goods. Sure Target's done tons of collabs with other designers but this, oh man this was THE collaborations of all collaborations. You see LP ( that's what we're calling it for short) did two things they normally don't do, cheap clothing and plus sizes. The highest size you'll find on LP's website is a 14 & most of the time that's even out of stock. If you get lucky enough to find a dress in your size you're looking at dropping $200 + easily. So when Target announced the collaboration it finally gave those of use broke basic bitches a chance to get our hands on a piece of the "Queen of Prep".
I'll admit I didn't really know who Lilly Pulitzer was until I thrifted a pair of pink zebra print pants two years ago. The school I went to didn't wear that stuff. Apple Bottoms & Roca Wear are a completely different story though. Those brands I knew. After doing a bit of research I realized LP had been around since the 60's. And damn if her pieces from the 60's aren't awesome…. So I feel slightly in love with the vintage prints.
When I heard it was going to be sold at Target I thought awesome. But what I didn't realize is that it was going to make every preppy white girl known to man lose their shit & cause a Black Friday esque environment. These women lined up at Target as if it was their sole mission in life to buy all the Lilly Pulitzer they could. I knew how crazy the warehouse sales got in Florida but that had nothing on "Pink Sunday". Further down south women were lining up the night before just to have a chance when the doors opened at 8am. The real smart ones got up super early & crashed Target's website at 3 in the morning on that Sunday.
I liked Lilly Pulitzer but I didn't like it Black Friday mayhem enough. It was only when I was sitting at the counter at Silver Diner at 9:30am after a guy asked me what "Lilly" was & why was it all over Facebook that I realized it went on sale that morning. After J & I got done with brunch I weaseled him into taking me by Target. I walked in at 10:30 surprised to see some items still left & in bigger sizes. I succumbed to the basic white girl lure & grabbed three pieces in the sizes I needed then headed home. That's when I started seeing the angry post across, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. The whole entire collection had sold out within 10 minutes of the doors opening. I can only imagine the sheer chaos that erupted. This caused a huge backlash within the basic white girl community.Not only did it go completely viral it went national news as well. It was like a Mean Girl Pack started harassing those "nasty resellers" on eBay, Posh Mark, & Instagram. It was down right hate fun & not very christian of them to do. Being a reseller myself I saw it from both angles. It was no different from a Black Friday sale or waiting in line to get a pair of Jordan's in my eyes, yet it wasn't fair to those who really couldn't afford the clothes who walked away with nothing. That prompted those snotty basic white girls to make rude comments about others & how they didn't want cheap Target knocks offs so they'll just keep buying the "real" stuff instead.
Since Target only does a limited run, if you want a piece of the Queen of Prep you've got to pay those nasty resellers ( of which I am one) for their time & effort of taking a beating to get those precious pieces. Unlike some other people I've got no issue in paying double what they got them since it saved me the time & hassle of standing in line. But that's sure to make the most basic of basic white girls lose their shit.
Moral of the story don't piss off those basic white girls or they'll Mean Girl Pack your ass.
Don't you just love a good meme?

Another RT Reporter Quits Over Pro-Russia Propaganda
Coverage of the Malaysia Airlines crash was "the straw that broke the camel's back."
It seems every time the world pays attention to Russia Today, the Kremlin-backed "news" channel, someone who works there realized they probably shouldn't.
Earlier this year, during the Russian invasion of Crimea, RT anchor Liz Wahl resigned on-air, refusing to be "part of a network that whitewashes the actions of Putin." (Fellow anchor Abby Martin also criticized the network, but still works there.) Following yesterday's anti-Ukraine coverage of the passenger jet shot out of the sky, another journalist has quit in a very public way. But at least it wasn't on TV. Just Twitter.
I resigned from RT today. I have huge respect for many in the team, but I'm for the truth. pic.twitter.com/mZ1g0R7N0D— Sara Firth (@Sara__Firth) July 18, 2014
London-based correspondent Sara Firth, a five-year veteran of the network, quit following a too-real Twitter conversation with a co-worker:
@Polly_Boiko @ukTanos Lies hun. We do work for Putin. We are asked on a daily basis if not to totally ignore then to obscure the truth— Sara Firth (@Sara__Firth) July 18, 2014
@cathyraats @Polly_Boiko honestly we're not. We're taking a paycheck and for that we have to always obey.— Sara Firth (@Sara__Firth) July 18, 2014
RT style guide Rule 1: It is ALWAYS *Ukraine's fault (*add name as applicable)— Sara Firth (@Sara__Firth) July 18, 2014
Firth told the Press Gazette that coverage of the Malaysia Airlines crash was "the straw that broke the camel's back for me." (The network was one of many pro-Russian outlets that floated the unsubstantiated rumors that Ukraine was responsible, possibly because it was aiming for Vladimir Putin's plane.)
"I couldn't do it anymore," Firth told Buzzfeed. "Every single day we're lying and finding sexier ways to do it." Nothing sexier than some Putin conspiracy theories.
Update: RT responds in a statement, alleging that Firth was about to quit for another job anyway.
We were not surprised by Sara Firth's decision to leave RT after 5 years as a Moscow and London co... pic.twitter.com/V4MXTTbqIv— RT Press Office (@RT_PressOffice_) July 18, 2014

Posted on 08/29/2007 9:26:19 AM PDT by blam
Researchers say Italy's 5,000-year-old Iceman died from head trauma, not arrow
The Associated PressPublished: August 28, 2007
ROME, Italy: Researchers studying Iceman, the 5,000-year-old mummy found frozen in the Italian Alps, have come up with a new theory for how he died, saying he died from head trauma, not by bleeding to death from an arrow.
Just two months ago, researchers in Switzerland published an article in the Journal of Archaeological Science saying the mummy also known as Oetzi had died after the arrow tore a hole in an artery beneath his left collarbone, leading to massive loss of blood, shock and heart attack.
But radiologists, pathologists and other researchers, using new forensic information and CAT scans, said Tuesday they believed that the blood loss from the arrow wound only made Oetzi lose consciousness. They believe he died either by hitting his head on a rock when he passed out or because his aggressor attacked him again with a blow to the head.
The researchers presented their findings Monday night at the Institute for Mummies and the Iceman at the European Academy in Bolzano, a research institution. The mummy institute was launched in July to coordinate research into Oetzi, who is housed in the nearby South Tyrol Archaeological Museum.
In a statement Tuesday, the academy said the findings reopened the debate over Oetzi's cause of death, particularly since they took into account the rather unnatural way in which his body was found: face down, with his left arm across his chest.
The researchers believe the Iceman fell over backward, but was then turned over onto his stomach by his aggressor who then pulled out the arrow shaft while leaving the arrowhead imbedded in Oetzi's shoulder.
(Excerpt) Read more at iht.com ...
Where's Quincy when you really need him?.............
Oetzi's DNA haplogroup is 'K', same as Thomas Jefferson's.
None of this can be true. As we all know, people lived in perfect utopian harmony until Christianity and capitalism came along.
Poor Oetzi. Wonder if they'll ever determine FOR SURE what actually killed him!
If that's not a failure of socialized medicine I don't know what is. :)
His wife hit him with a frying pan.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars later and he's still dead, Jim.
Just robbing ancient Italian icemen that Americans won't rob.
An arrow isn't head trauma?
That's funny!
Interesting. Amazing what can be done these days.
shot, bashed in the head, frozen...
This guy was like the Rasputin of his era.
It was Barzini all along, wasn't it?
I'm just a caveman. I'm confused and frightened by your CAT scans and modern forensic science. But there is one thing I do know: that Oetzi deserves justice and a $10 million settlement for the initial misruling on his cause of death.
So, he was beaten to death by a Cleric, not a Fighter?
So who is the bigger geek. You for saying that or me for having the first response of "well, not under the 3rd edition rules"?
Silky Pony, is that you?
lol good one!
That's a pointed question!...........
This gives new meaning to the term "cold case"....
thanks, Blam. I have put 'ancient dna' on my favorites.
I wonder if his DNA is "cloneable"?.............
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Suicide by Arkancide - linked to distant ancestors of the clintooon tribe.
You're both geeks, but you're entitled to saving throws.
Michael Moore will get right on it
Not when it doesn't hit the head :o)
Notice you never see Oetzi and Keith Richards in the same room together. Coincidence? I think not.
If Oetzi was killed by enemy fighters, why didn't they take his copper axe, or his quiver? Hmmm, just like the movie Predator... except for the skinning of the corpse, the making trophies of man and all that other crap.
Hey! I was gonna think of that!
Good one ... LOL
"In a statement Tuesday, the academy said the findings reopened the debate over Oetzi's cause of death, particularly since they took into account the rather unnatural way in which his body was found: face down, with his left arm across his chest.

Its all just speculation masquarading as science. No one could have fallen with his arm like that... Utter BS.
Hey, your tagline tops everything else in the thread! ;')
I gotta remember to think of that retort...
Because he was equipped with noob gear. A copper axe is only +17 offense although you could get 25 gold for it if you hauled it to Fibula.
Oetzi was a hunter, and he was slain by local farmers for trespassing. Yes, his death was the work of another cereal killer.
>That was my take as well. The body been out there for 5,000 years being shifted around by ice, snow, wind and who knows what else. He was probably located quite a distance from where is actually fell.
Excellent observation and I agree.
The discovery of Oetzi's copper axe moved the European copper age back in time by 1,000 years.
I didn't know Larry King knew how to use a bow and arrow
Aha! Oetzi fathered Sally Hemmings offspring, and was killed to hush him up!
Thanks folks, I'm here all week. Try the veal, and don't tip your serving wenches...it makes them fall over!
The UberNerd
Thanks! ;o])
Probably not "clonable" due to deterioration, but why do so — we already have Ted Kenndy>

For the past 25 years, MCBA has hosted its SpringCon Comic Book Convention, much to the delight of comic-book fans and lovers of local shops. This weekend, folks can chat with comic artists, shop from local vendors, and celebrate Twin Cities geekery at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Another bonus for those with shallow wallets: Admission is only $12, and parking is free. At this year's event, over 250 cartoonists will be on hand, including kids' artists, graphic novelists, trading-card artists, pinup artists, and folks from Lutefisk Sushi, the ongoing Minnesota comic anthology series that publishes about every year. The dealers' floor will feature local book shops, comic distributors, collectible items, and more. Got a great getup? Enter the costume contest for a chance to win prizes, or just show up in your gear and be part of the ambiance. For more info, visit www.midwestcomicbook.com. (Photo by Joe Rider)

Let's Remember Paul Burke--And Let's Discuss Mackenzie Phillips' Incest Scandal
Paul Burke got two Emmy nominations, but he was shamefully left out of the Emmy Awards "In Memoriam" segment the other night!
Paul--who died on September 13--had been nominated for the '60s series Naked City in which he replaced James Franciscus to ratings and acclaim. He was also in scads of other TV series, but my good/bad movie club primarily knows him for three other works:
*Della, a bizarre Joan Crawford flick in which Joan tries to keep her daughter indoors because she has some kind of rare skin disease and is allergic to the sun. (I can't remember what part Paul played, which is actually good for Paul.)
*Daddy's Gone a-Hunting, a thriller set in San Francisco about a psycho who demands that his ex girlfriend kill her baby. (Paul played the woman's relatively normal new husband.)
Upcoming Events
And mainly, Valley of the Dolls, the grandmother of good/bad movies, in which Paul was the similarly named Lyon Burke, a smarmy yet somehow wooden agent who romances Barbara Parkins en route to dumping her and shtupping Patty Duke.
Now do you see why we must remember Paul Burke?

A report from the Comic-Con 2016 Trek Talk panel "Star Trek and NASA Boldly Go."
In the opening scene of "Morvern Callar," a young woman awakens next to the body of her boyfriend, who has committed suicide during the night. Lights blink on their Christmas tree. His blood is all over the floor. His presents for her are still wrapped and under the tree. On his computer he has left a suicide note ("It just seemed like the right thing to do"), instructions on how to withdraw money from his account, and the manuscript of a novel that he wants her to submit to a list of publishers.
Morvern reads the note, opens the presents (she likes the leather jacket), and walks out into the winter gloom of Glasgow. She stands for a long time on a train platform, until a pay phone rings. She listens to the stranger on the other end of the line and finally says, "I'm sure he'll be all right." That night, she dresses sexy and meets her best friend, Lanna, for a night at the pub that ends with drunken, confused sex with strangers. The boyfriend's body remains on the floor.
Morvern is played by Samantha Morton, who like Isabelle Huppert has a face that can convey enormous emotions without visibly changing. Because she reveals so little, we are drawn into her, fascinated, trying to read her thoughts. You may remember Morton as the musician's deaf-mute girlfriend in Woody Allen's "Sweet and Lowdown," or as the pale, limp "pre-cog" in Spielberg's "Minority Report." Here she is a working class girl, prisoner of a thankless job in a supermarket, whose boyfriend is better educated and more successful.
One of the mysteries of the early stages of "Morvern Callar" is Morvern's behavior after finding the body. She cries, inwardly and privately, but such is her aura that we don't know if she's crying for him, or for herself. He left money for a funeral, but after several days, when she can ignore the body no longer, she cuts it up and throws it away. There is a closeup of the computer screen as she deletes his name on the title page of the novel and types in her own. Is she heartless, crazy, or what? I think the answer is right there in the film, but less visible to American viewers because we are less class-conscious than the filmmakers (the director, Lynne Ramsay, is the daughter of a bartender; Samantha Morton is a survivor of foster homes).
Consider. Morvern lives in her boyfriend's fairly expensive and comfortable Glasgow flat, but still works at the supermarket. If they were truly a couple with a future and had been together for some time, isn't it reasonable to expect that she would no longer be holding onto that job? My guess is that their relationship began fairly recently, based on sex between incompatibles and fueled by a lot of drinking, and that by killing himself he has, from her point of view, shown how unimportant she was to him and how lightly he took their relationship and his life. (When a young person who is not dying or in unbearable crisis commits suicide, it is often an act of selfish unforgivable egotism.) By signing her name to his novel, Morvern is sending a message beyond the grave: I will not clean up this mess and finish your life for you . She will begin to live her own. Unfortunately, she has few resources. She lacks even her friend Lanna's (Kathleen McDermott) gift for silly aimless hedonism. After she actually sells the novel, she uses the publisher's check to buy them both a package holiday in Spain, where Lanna is skilled at drinking, partying and getting laid, but Morvern is a ghost at the feast, a silent, inward person who looks not so much sad as disengaged.
Her style is passive aggressive. She withholds herself, is not quite present. She sits at times alone and silent, and we feel she is not alone with her thoughts, but only with her feelings. There is the sense that she broods about hurt. We have little idea what her early life was like, but when we learn that Samantha Morton never talks about her own foster childhood, we are bold enough to wonder if the sense-memories she draws upon for the performance have converted her early years into Morvern's.
The movie doesn't have a plot in the conventional sense, and could not support one. People like Morvern Callar do not lead lives that lend themselves to beginnings, middles and ends. She is on hold. Somehow, in some way, she's stuck in neutral. The gray-brown tones of her life in Glasgow reflect her emotional habitat, and the bright colors of Spain cause her to wince in pain. She can only handle so much incoming experience at a time. "Sorry, Morvern," her boyfriend wrote in that note. "Don't try to understand." What a bloody condescending jerk. Yet she is not drifting because of his death. She drifts anyway, and always has. What great wrong has made her so damaged? We watch Samantha Morton so closely, with such fascination, because she is able to embody a universe of wounded privacy.
This is Lynne Ramsay's second film, after "Ratcatcher" (1999). That one was about a small boy living with the guilt of a terrible act. Her short films include one in which two small girls, half-sisters, trying to understand the wreckage of the marriages that created them. She has been signed to direct the film of Alice Sebold's best-seller The Lovely Bones , narrated by the ghostly voice of a young girl who has been raped and murdered. These stories all seem to explore similar dread lifescapes. Why she knows it so well we cannot guess, but she does.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Marshfield mourns the passing of 'Hap' Hayward
'Hap' Hayward
MARSHFIELD — Townspeople are mourning a man who they say was a devoted public servant.
Harold "Hap" Hayward, 88, died Thursday. He served with the Marshfield Volunteer Fire Department for 50 years, including as fire chief. He was also the town's tax collector and a member of the school board, among many civic activities. (For the full obituary, see page B3.)
Ronald Pitkin served as assistant fire chief under Hayward as far back as the early 1970s, and he remembers Hayward as a "wonderful, cheerful, unassuming guy" who was very public-minded. For most of his adult life Hayward ran the local sawmill, the Hayward and Gilman Lumber Co., and Pitkin said whenever there was a fire in town, Hayward would shut the mill down and he and his employees would all head out together to put the fire out.
"Everybody liked him," he said. "It would be hard not to like him."
Select Board Chairman John Warshow said Hayward was a good friend to many and the kind of person you'd like to have more of in your town.
"He had a special way about him — a little twinkle in his eye," Warshow said. "Unfortunately, we seem to be changing generations here a little too quickly."
Tom Maclay also knew Hayward for many years, in part through their shared work in the Fire Department. He agreed with Warshow, characterizing Hayward as "a really fine man" who donated much of his time and expertise to the community over the years, including his carpentry skills in helping rebuild the old firehouse as well as building parts of the new firehouse.
Hayward's many contributions to Marshfield are well known to those who have lived in town for a while. But as the years pass and new generations come along, the old-timers will need to share the legacy of "Hap."
"Probably two-thirds of the people in town don't even know who he was," Maclay said with a chuckle — or how much Hayward gave of himself to the town.
Pitkin is the sexton for the town's cemetery. "Every year I'm burying more and more friends," he said. "You suddenly realize that time is just marching on and it keeps going no matter what the rest of us do."

"Stay in love," Day George said.
The actress shares her home in Gardiner with her husband, Doug Cronin -- clearly the object of her fierce admiration.
"He is heaven on wheels," she said of her spouse of 20 years.
But Day George's definition of love is even taller than he is.
"Stay in love with life, with people, with what you see," she said.
"Even the hard things teach us so much."
Day George, at 67, has lived through the hard parts, the stuff mixed in to a long and glamorous career in what she calls "the industry."
She's retired from the big and small screens now, but wants to use her celebrity for a few chosen causes.
One is the Olympic Medical Center Foundation, for which she's the guest of honor at this Sunday's "Hollywood Nights" benefit at the Vern Burton Community Center in Port Angeles.
It's an Academy Awards-night party, and Day George said she was "blown away" by Best Picture nominee Avatar, but she admits that she cannot stand the Oscar show.
"I have to tell you the truth," she said. "I don't care who wins."
Day George does care about Olympic Medical Center, and is looking forward to celebrating it together with other supporters Sunday night -- and to going out on a date with her husband in their 1939 Buick.
As for him, he's rooting for Sandra Bullock to win the Best Actress Oscar for The Blind Side.
In the based-on-a-true-story picture, she plays a wealthy woman who adopts a homeless black boy. Under the care of Bullock and her husband, the boy, Michael Oher, thrives.
He plays college football and goes on to stardom with the Baltimore Ravens.
"My husband's in love with Sandra Bullock," Day George said, bathing Cronin in one of her frequent, fluorescent smiles.
That being said, The Blind Side is the kind of family-friendly movie Day George wants to see more of: a story of a couple who stepped outside their comfort zone to make a difference in the life of a young person.
Day George doesn't miss Hollywood, however. She began her career there at age 19 -- after working as a model for the Eileen Ford agency in New York City.
At age 12, Day George was first runner-up in the Miss Maryvale Parks Queen pageant. It was her first and last beauty pageant, and she wasn't crowned queen of the Phoenix, Ariz., suburb where she lived.
"But I definitely got the goodies," she said.
Day George went on to act on Broadway in 1965's "The Devils" with Jason Robards and Anne Bancroft; in movies such as Chisum with John Wayne; and in TV series from "The Fugitive" to "Bonanza" to "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "Roots."
During the making of Chisum in 1970 she fell in love with another cast member, Christopher George.
They were married that year, and co-starred in many TV movies over the next decade.
Christopher George died, at age 52, of a heart attack in 1983, and his widow cut back on her acting career, taking a few roles in shows such as "Fantasy Island" and "Murder, She Wrote."
Day George married Doug Cronin -- who had been a friend of Christopher's -- on March 17, 1990, and the couple began traveling from their home in Toluca Lake, Calif., to Gardiner, where Cronin's parents lived.
Day George and Cronin inherited the Gardiner house when his parents passed, and these days they spend about four months a year there.
Cronin's work in the aerospace industry keeps them in California the rest of the year, though they want to increase the time they're on the North Olympic Peninsula.
After so many years in cities, Day George revels in the natural world and the lushness.
"I adore all of the greens -- the wild variance of greens just feed my soul," she said.
Thinking back to a trip she made as a young woman, Day George likened the Peninsula's moist, voluptuous forests to those of South America.
"The first time I went to Brazil in 1963, I got off the plane, I stepped down to the tarmac, and it was like the country surged up to me," Day George recalled, adding that the Peninsula affected her in the same way.
This is a woman with presence, radiance, a flair for the dramatic -- and no desire to go back to movies.
"I've spent my life working, from 12 years old on. I really want this part of my life to be about life, not about working, not about glamor," she said.
"I want everything. I want to feel everything, touch everything, be a part of everything. I feel more alive now," than at any time posing or emoting for the camera.
"This place is so precious," she said of her home overlooking Discovery Bay. Day George has found people here to be refreshingly genuine: "They're not enclosed in a carapace," as city dwellers can be.
And the north Peninsula has "amazing resources," such as Olympic Medical Center. "If there's anything I can do to support it, I want to be part of it."
Tilting her head, eyes twinkling, Day George gave an invitation to Sunday's party.
"Come play with us," she said.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Prostate Cancer, Advanced or Metastatic - What Happens
Prostate cancer is a common cancer affecting older men. About 16 out of 100 men in the United States will get prostate cancer, but only 3 will die because of it. That means about 97 out of 100 men will die of something other than prostate cancer.1
It usually is a very slow-growing cancer that takes years to grow large enough to cause any symptoms. In some men, it never does cause problems. Sometimes, though, it grows quickly and may cause complications or death.
When prostate cancer grows large enough, it begins to fill the prostate and often can be felt by your doctor during a digital rectal exam. As it continues to grow, it breaks through the outer rim of the prostate and into nearby tissues, such as the seminal vesicles. At this point, the disease is called locally advanced prostate cancer.
Locally advanced prostate cancer is usually not curable. But there are treatments that can help you live longer and feel better. Most men live up to 5 years after this diagnosis, but some men may live longer.2
After the cancer has broken through the prostate, it may move into nearby lymph nodes. From the lymph node system, the cancer can spread to other areas of the body. Most often, prostate cancer spreads to the bones. It also may spread to the lungs or other organs. When it has spread to the lymph nodes , the disease is called metastatic prostate cancer.
Metastatic prostate cancer is not curable. But a number of treatments are available to help you live longer and make you feel better. Most men live 1 to 3 years after this diagnosis, but some men may live many years longer.2

TYLER, Texas – The Blinn Buccaneers' hopes of reaching the NJCAA National Championships are in the hands of the selection committee now.
No. 1-ranked Trinity Valley, the defending national champion, defeated Blinn's women's basketball team 69-58 today in the Region XIV Tournament championship game at the Herrington Patriot Center. With the win, Trinity Valley earned an automatic berth to the national tournament while the Buccaneers must wait to see if they are selected for one of the four at-large bids.
The NJCAA will announce the tournament qualifiers Monday evening.
"Going 30-3 this season with all three losses to Trinity Valley, including one in overtime, you would think we would get in, but you never know when you put it in the hands of voters," Blinn coach Jeff Jenkins said. "I just know this team deserves it. Early in the year I might not have said that, but we're playing a lot better defense now and I think we're one of the better teams in the nation."
Blinn got off to a slow start in the conference title game as Trinity Valley jumped out to a 31-18 lead by halftime. The Buccaneers have been one of the best offensive teams in the nation this year, averaging 80.6 points per game.
"It just wasn't our typical game offensively," Jenkins said. "Defensively, we played fine in the first half, and I'd really believed going in that if we held them under 70 points for the game, we'd win."
Blinn outscored the Lady Cardinals 40-38 in the second half but couldn't make up the difference.
Sophomore guard Jazzmin Parker led the Buccaneers with 21 points while freshman forward Fatima Adams scored 20. Sophomore forward Audrisa Harrison scored seven points and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds.
Parker added eight boards. Trinity Valley out-rebounded Blinn 54-40, including 24 offensive rebounds.
"I thought we did a good job defending the first shot, we just couldn't secure the rebound and that's not like us," Jenkins said.
Shlonte Allen led Trinity Valley with 24 points while Adut Bulgak, Krystle Henderson and Shannon Smith each scored 12.
Allen and Harrison were named Region XIV Conference co-MVPs. Harrison and Adams each earned all-region and all-conference honors and Parker was named all-conference. Sophomore guard Aarika Reyna received all-conference honorable mention.
Parker and Adams were each named to the all-Region XIV Tournament team.
The Buccaneers have practice scheduled Tuesday in the event they are selected for the tournament.

text: 000 FXUS63 KARX 260407 AFDARX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1107 PM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night) Issued at 230 PM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 The concern during this period is how much shower and storm activity will be around the area. The forcing during this period looks to be weak which leads to a rather low confidence forecast. To reflect this low confidence, limited the rain chances to 50 percent or less. The upper level flow pattern will start the period flat and zonal coming off the Pacific and across the northern Rockies. By Wednesday night, the flow will start to amplify as the upper level ridge builds north along the West Coast which will allow the flow over the Upper Midwest to become more northwest. The models have been consistent in showing this flow pattern to be rather dirty with several weak short wave troughs in it. With the lack of any strong short wave troughs, the confidence on where and when any rain will develop is low. The models have slowed down the arrival of the first short wave trough with it now approaching the area late Tuesday afternoon before moving across Tuesday night. Another weak short wave trough should cross the area Wednesday before the flow pattern starts to push subsequent waves farther south. The 25.12Z GFS still tries to suggest there could be some periods of weak to possibly moderate pv advection in the 500-300 mb layer with the Tuesday afternoon/evening wave and again Wednesday evening. The 25.12Z NAM however, is much weaker and shows almost no pv advection occurring with these waves. The weak warm air advection ahead of these short wave troughs will bring some isentropic up glide over the area. This looks to stay north of the area through Tuesday and then could be up to 2 ubar/s on the 305K surface spreading in Tuesday night. This then looks to be mainly south of the area Wednesday and Wednesday night according to the NAM while the GFS still brings some across the area Wednesday. Both models agree there will not be any low level features in place to help focus any convective development. Both models do agree that the surface ridge will still be over the area through Tuesday and that any showers and storms that develop should stay to the north of the area, so dropped the small rain chances across the north. This surface high will be slow to depart Tuesday night which should help to limit the rain chances to just the northern sections. These chances should then drift south across the area Wednesday and Wednesday night as the surface high continues to move farther away from the region. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Monday) Issued at 230 PM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 The northwest flow looks remain into the start of the weekend before the upper level ridge starts to move east. This should allow heights to start rising Sunday with the upper level ridge axis building in for Monday. With this pattern, the flow of weak short wave troughs will likely continue which will keep some rain chances going into the start of the weekend. Sunday and Monday then look to be dry as the ridge is over the area both at the surface and aloft. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1107 PM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 VFR conditions set to continue at LSE and RST into Tuesday evening as high pressure gradually works across the area. About the only real issue will be the potential for some river valley fog around LSE toward sunrise. Current temp/dew point spreads still a little high at this hour but are slowly closing as winds through 2kft remain rather light. If the night was a bit longer, would think the chances are much higher for some dense fog at LSE proper. Instead, suspect that there will be some fog nearby in parts of the Mississippi basin but with only a very low probability for it to meander toward the airport itself. Otherwise, skies should remain mainly clear, but with perhaps a touch of mid and/or high cloud at times into Tuesday afternoon pending the evolution of convection well to our north and west. && .ARX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

First results of a massive epidemiological investigation indicate that batches of polio vaccine contaminated with simian virus 40 so far have brought no increase of cancer or cancer deaths among adults.
The study follows 780,000 men and women for 2 1/2 years. Of these subjects, 202,947 took polio vaccine during the period when much of it was contaminated.
The investigation, which began shortly after virologists found that SV 40 caused cancer in hamsters, will continue for at least 12 more years, said E. Cuyler Hammond, ScD, director, statistical research, American Cancer Society. He reported the early results at the society's seminar for science writers in Phoenix.
The negative results are similar to those found by others in an earlier study of possible increases of cancer incidence, particularly leukemia, among children 6 to 8 years of age who took polio vaccine during the period of contamination.
Dr. Hammond's figures, however, indicate

Music to Your Ears
By Michael Henningsen
In Burque-Native-Done-Good news, former Albuquerque resident and current Nashvillian Jenny Farrell will compete beginning Tuesday, March 1, for a record deal as a contestant on the third season of USA Network's reality TV series "Nashville Star." The ultimate winner of this particular reality series is chosen exclusively by the television audience, so you know what you have to do, folks. Look for more on the story and an exclusive interview with Farrell in next week's Alibi. ... In Bad-for-You-Albquerque news, according to an Albuquerque Journal article that appeared last Saturday, Mayor Martin Chavez intends to draft an ordinance preventing all-ages shows from taking place at Downtown venues, specifically the Sunshine Theater and Launchpad. Citing recent violent incidents Downtown, Mayor Marty has somehow convinced himself that it's the kids causing the trouble while turning a blind eye to the actual source of trouble in the city's most engaging entertainment district. If the city is going to ban all ages shows at Downtown venues, then our government officials should follow their own precedent and outlaw alcohol sales from events such as Summerfest, the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, The New Mexico State Fair, Isotopes baseball games, Scorpions hockey games, shows at Journal Pavilion and countless other events and locations where booze and kids mingle freely. At least the Sunshine and Launchpad shows separate the under-21 crowd from the over-21 set that choose to drink. Look for an Alibi feature coming soon.

Toad The Wet Sprocket Welcome Home: Live At The Arlington Theatre (Columbia)
Toad, with the likes of bands such as REM, fall into a category all their own. They really didn't fit into the alternative rock scene that dominated most of the '90s, yet I wouldn't classify them as adult contemporary. Toad possess a certain attractive quality that is hard to explain. Their analytical songs are comfort music for the cynic. However, their newest live effort is somewhat disappointing. They lack the charisma found in their earlier efforts, Fear and Dulcinea in particular. Toad's live performance is effortless in every sense of the word. The tired vocals and lack-luster music make this album one to forget.

By August March
Good news, everybody! This year's Van's Warped Tour is coming through Burque—albeit the festival's given up its lauded positioning at the big amphitheater south of town for the slightly more placid, arcadian and sometimes floaty atmosphere at Balloon Fiesta Park. So, just in case you want to know, the whole schmear goes off on Monday, August 1. The Albuquerque iteration of this ultra-famous yearly event will feature preeminent 'Merican musical acts like Against The Current, Chelsea Grin, Ice Nine Kills, Less Than Jake, Mother Feather, Teenage Bottlerocket and We The Kings. These performances are in addition to a host of other winsome activities designed to lure the youth of the vicinity into the devilish servitude associated with rocanrol music, including a comp ticket for parents (if you're under the age of 18), a hydration station and a totally awesome sponsor and vendor village. Tickets range in price from $37.50-$47.50 and are available through Ticketmaster.

Today was an interesting day. I had an eye appointment to get my annual prescription and maybe a new pair of glasses. They asked me whether I wanted a full checkup, so I enthusiastically said "Sure!". I discovered that "full checkup" apparently includes a pupil dilation. They gave me these drops that burned like I would imagine getting lemon juice in your eye would feel like - those were the anesthetic drops for the actual dilator (I can only imagine how nice things would have felt without the anesthetic drops first). Then they left me to wait while the medication kicked in.
At first, things were fine and I had no noticeable change in perception. Slowly, however, my vision altered - it can best be described as drunk vision (not to be confused with beer goggles), because I could see far away reasonably well, but I was suffering from an inability to focus less than about six inches in front of my face, with or without glasses. They completed the checkup and then offered me the "wrap-around" sunglasses. Damn my pride - I turned down the offer, stating that I usually don't have issues with sensitivity to sunlight. As soon as I got outside, it felt like I was staring directly into the sun, from about ten feet away. I neglected to consider that when your pupils almost entirely engulf your iris, they let in quite a bit more light than normal. Well, needless to say, I had a four-block walk back to the train that felt like an eternity. The light was so intense that my nose was running and tears were just shy of streaming down my face - it felt not unlike the last time I watched the episode of Futurama with the 7-leaf clover (I believe only Futurama fans with brothers of their own can fully appreciate).
I eventually made it home and my vision slowly returned to normal, but I believe I have learned a valuable lesson - wearing the goofy sunglasses has a lot less potential for embarrassment than walking down the street sniffling and tearing up uncontrollably.
Feel free to share an embarrassing story of your own with the masses who subscribe to my blog. :-)

The new home of
Tenby is probably one of the prettiest seaside towns in Wales, with its brightly coloured houses that cluster around its picturesque harbour.
Established by the Normans, Tenby was originally a fortified town and much of the old town walls can still be seen today. There are no less than 3 Blue-Flag beaches here with wide stretches of pristine sand, ideal for safe family holidays. In between two of the beaches is the picturesque harbour which also has a clean sandy beach. When the tide is in boat trips operate taking visitors to nearby Caldey Island, which is a designated conservation area.
The town has a maze of narrow streets where you'll find lots of interesting and quirky shops, during the summer months the streets in the town centre are pedestrianised allowing restaurant and café owners to offer al 'fresco dining.
Tenby Museum and Art Gallery is well-worth a visit, and a ghost walk around the historic harbour town offers a light-hearted but slightly spooky history lesson. A family holiday in Tenby wouldn't be complete without visiting Dinosaur World, where you can learn about (and meet) prehistoric creatures and enjoy fun, family-friendly rides. Manor House Wildlife Park has lots to see, with knowledgeable keepers on hand to answer any questions. Carew Castle is a local landmark and great fun for the kids who can imagine this 'ruin' as a fully furnished castle.
There are plenty of activities to enjoy here including paragliding, quad biking, canoeing, climbing and boat hire is available for mackerel fishing.
Tenby is teeming with things to see and do; for accommodation search Tenby cottages.
