TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - Cut it off, grow it out, lighten it, darken it ... what is your New Year's hair resolution? The first has come and gone and now is the time for change, and hair is one of the fastest ways to do that. As we all know, this sudden change can have positive and negative results. Fortunately, with a good consultation, fierce skills and unique fads the options are endless.
The first step in any good salon experience should be the consultation. It doesn't matter if the stylist has been managing your hair for 20 years, there should always be a thorough consultation. Because of the elements, hair changes quickly and will rarely look exactly the same at each return appointment. Typically there are five steps each stylist should take to ensure a great outcome:
1. Eye contact. Did the stylist speak through the mirror or did they begin the consultation face to face?
2. Ask. Did the stylist ask specific who, what, when, where, and why questions about the results that were being sought?
3. Listen. Did the stylist use active listening skills by re-stating or paraphrasing what they heard in their own words?
4. Advice. Considering the requests, did the stylist give their professional advice as to what would be the best choices and why?
5. Agree. Did the stylist get your permission and did you both agree to the services that would be provided?
Once these steps have been taken it's time for the "hairgician" to make magic!
What's hot in hair for 2013?
Literally, according to Vogue Daily, "Jaguar has invented 'hot scissors,' which can be warmed up to 310° F, [and] claim to seal the cuticle while they cut, leaving hair less susceptible to environmental damage and moisture loss." These new scissors are slightly reminiscent of the ancient "singeing" technique. The Grooming Guide states singeing was originally "used as a sealant in hair cuts by Turkish barbers, who believed that hair was a living, breathing part of the body. When it was cut, they felt it was bleeding, so to put it out of its pain and misery they would singe it!" Although not for the same reasons, singeing is still a popular method of hair removal today.
In case you didn't notice Jessica Biel peeking at you from the cover of Elle, (at least for now) bangs are hot! And for those with a fear of commitment, there are always fake bangs. That's right; companies like hairuwear.com and proextensions.com make human hair clip in bangs that are simple to attach. Just "...start with your natural part, and brush your hair behind your ears. Make a small triangle section of hair where your bangs would go" (Gregory Alan). Once you've got your new bangs attached, use an iron on low heat so you can style them more easily. Voile! Clip-in bangs are the perfect remedy for those needing quick and dramatic change without regret.
Tips and Tricks
Looking for a great Valentine's Day date idea for your honey? How about a "do" date? After a day on the slopes surprise your beautiful babe or super stud with a pre-paid appointment for a style or haircut at your favorite local salon. Meet up with them after, (where they will be looking amazing) and ready for whatever the rest of the day has in store. After all, "experts say that a good scalp rub may not only release tension but also may increase blood flow flooding your body with the feel-good hormones dopamine and serotonin," according to www.womansday.com.
What better way to start a romantic evening for two?

Whether their work is abstract or realist, the artists whose work hangs in the latest Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art exhibit in Loretto say some might think their paintings are just like those they see in their neighborhood bank or lawyer's office, but they'd be wrong.
The exhibit, dubbed "Seeing the Big Picture: Larger than Life Work from the Permanent Collection,'' showcases 22 large-scale paintings. The average work is 60 to 80 inches across and 5 to 6 feet tall, said museum Visual Arts Curator Scott Dimond. Usually many such paintings are commissioned to hang in places like corporate offices and bank lobbies, he said.
Once in a while, a homeowner with a big house might buy one of the paintings to decorate a large space, Dimond said.

Seen here is a shot of the exhibit "Seeing the Big Picture: Larger than Life Work from the Permanent Collection" as it appears at the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art at Loretto. Hanging in the center is the painting "On Fire" (1988), by Anna Marie Schnur.
"The chief thing with the big paintings is that they're hard to show alongside other paintings,'' he said, which is why the museum decided to showcase the large paintings in a special exhibit that started in April and will run through June 15.
"They do have a presence,'' Dimond said, "It's more for the visual appeal.''
But some of the artists who have paintings in the show said they want people who view their work to know that their paintings are much more than something to fill up space on the wall of a business or a big house.

Kevin Kutz of Bedford, who has a painting called "Altoona'' in the exhibit, said he has always liked the outdoors and has looked for inspiration not only in nature but in architectural landmarks for his work.
"Altoona'' is actually a series of paintings of sites that Kutz joined together to make one large painting. The result is a sort of collage of scenes of the city, including the city's K-4 steam locomotive and the Leap the Dips roller coaster at Lakemont Park. He also included a lesser-known and now-destroyed drive-in restaurant that Kutz said once stood near the Logan Valley Mall close to where the Eat 'n Park Restaurant is now located.
"I have always been interested in roadside architecture, so I'd had my eye on that for years,'' Kutz said.
Kutz describes his style as somewhat abstract, following in the footsteps of the famous abstract painter Jackson Pollock, although he does think his work has some realistic overtones because he also tries to represent what he sees in life. He has been commissioned to paint works for several office buildings in Pittsburgh and closer to home. He has also been asked to paint portraits of many local residents.
Another local artist who has a painting in the large-scale exhibit has also painted several portraits of local figures, including Bishop Emeritus Joseph Adamec of the Altoona-Johnstown Catholic Diocese.
Allen Capriotti of Altoona, who described his style of painting as definitely in the realist category, said he needs a large canvas to fit in all the details of the people in his paintings.
The painting he has in the SAMA exhibit is reminiscent of the famous work, "American Gothic','' by Grant Wood, which depicts an American farmer and his daughter looking stoically at the viewer with a Gothic-style house in the background. Capriotti's work, entitled ""Pennsylvania Victorian Restoration," depicts a family from St. John's Church in Lakemont that Capriotti knew and asked to pose for the painting. The family's Victorian-style house is in the background.
"It just represented a rural family to me and all that goes with that,'' he said. "To me, it's just all there in their faces, their expressions, the tension in their faces, especially. It just says how they interact as a family.''
Capriotti said most of his paintings are about 3 feet by 4 feet and he has always liked to paint on large canvases. He most recently had one of his works, "Treasures from Hawaii,'' chosen for exhibition at the State Museum in Harrisburg as part of a statewide competition in which 190 works were chosen from 2,000 entries, he said.
"I have certain ideas of what I want to get across,'' he said. "I like to represent who the people are. If you leave out details that sort of detracts from the painting.''
Dimond said the largest painting in the exhibit is 10 feet across and 6 feet high. All of the works are from the museum's permanent collection. The exhibit is actually a repeat showing of a similar exhibit shown a few years ago that proved popular with the public, he said.
The large-scale paintings are at the museum's Loretto site because with its higher ceilings, it's a better choice for this exhibit than the Altoona location, Dimond said.
"Some things fit in Altoona, but others would look awkward,'' he said. "With the ceilings the way they are in Altoona you could have it there but the viewing experience would be stunted.''

It's happened. My boys are officially into sports. Like, wanting to play sports. No organized teams yet or anything. Yet. I'm already tearing up at the thought of watching them, proud. Ok so yeah I'm already tearing up watching them play on the driveway.
Anyway. They are off this morning to throw around the ball and shoot some hoops with Dad while I take Ivy on our ritual Saturday morning to market and errands run. Later I'm going to a Love for Anika party - we're making pillowcase dresses to send to Kids Alive to be distributed to girls in their care or surrounding villages and we're also raising money for a little girl named Anika, to help her adopting family bring her home from Russia. You can help here (and maybe even win something delightful to keep), if you'd like.
That's good.
And also, some other good things: I was hired for a few exciting writing gigs (details to come about them all), and was mentioned at ohdeedoh in an interview with Erin from Growing Up Senge. How lovely is that.
Now go on, tell me something good going on with you?

Injuries have always been an unavoidable issue in the NFL, but in 2013 a number of big-name players have gone down. And it's only Week 7.
Several teams have been decimated by injuries this season, but none more so than the New England Patriots.
Bill Belichick and the Pats have watched three of their best defenders limp off the field, including shutdown cornerback Aqib Talib, who, along with wide receiver Danny Amendola, will miss Sunday's divisional showdown with the New York Jets, according to ESPNBoston.com's Field Yates.
Nose tackle Vince Wilfork and linebacker Jerod Mayo have both been lost for the year.
Another team that has been hit hard by the injury bug through six weeks is the Green Bay Packers. In addition to losing star pass-rusher Clay Matthews for two to three weeks to a thumb injury, the Pack will be without dynamic wide receiver Randall Cobb for at least six weeks while he recovers from a fractured fibula.
Green Bay's division rival, the Minnesota Vikings, are hoping a hamstring injury doesn't slow running back Adrian Peterson in Week 7. The Vikings will play the winless New York Giants on Monday Night Football this week and will need the league's reigning rushing leader to be at his best in order to relieve some of the pressure on quarterback Josh Freeman, who will make his Vikings debut.
Elsewhere in Week 7, the Atlanta Falcons will be without offensive weapons Roddy White and Steven Jackson, while fantasy superstars Calvin Johnson and Arian Foster were both listed as probable coming into the day, according to NFL.com.
Below, we'll bring you the latest news on key injuries around the league in Week 7 and break down how they will affect teams and your fantasy lineup.

The Stetson Men's tennis team used a strong singles showing to win its season opening match against #56 St. Johns on Thursday afternoon. After losing the doubles point, Stetson bounced back to win five singles matches to secure the victory at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
"Despite the youth of our line-up, the team played with great poise to come back from losing the always important doubles point," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said after the victory. "We started very well in singles play and the momentum changed immediately."
Freshman Simon Julin (Stockholm, Sweden) began the impressive singles play by cruising to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Mark Mozer. Senior Didrik Berg (Oslo, Norway) followed that with a win of his own, defeating regionally ranked Vasko Mladenov 6-2, 4-2. The St. John's player was forced to retire in the second set due to injury.
Freshman Egor Panyushkin (Moscow, Russia) was the third to finish, defeating Michael-John Every 6-3, 6-1 to give the Hatters a 3-1 lead in the match. Fellow freshman Cahit Kapukiran (Izmir, Turkey) then clinched the match for the Hatters, winning 6-3, 6-1 against Mike Lampa.
"It's such a great start for us, winning against a good team," Kapukiran said of the season-opener. "I was happy to clinch the match. It was a tough match for us, coming back after losing the doubles point."
Berg, as the lone senior, was pleased to see such a young team step up and play well against a quality opponent like St. John's.
"Being the leader of the team, especially a young team, is tough," Berg said. "I was happy to see the guys step up, especially the freshmen. They all won today, fairly easily too. To see that, it's such a great feeling"
The final two singles matches were split by Stetson, with Chester Espie (Auckland, New Zealand) defeating Hugo Morth 6-4, 6-2 and junior Hans Adrian Riseng (Oslo, Norway) falling to Valentin Mihai 7-5, 6-3.
In doubles, Julin and Kapukiran won their match and finished first, defeating Every and Morth, 8-2. However, St. John's won the final two doubles matches to take the point. The duo of Berg and Riseng was defeated by Mladenov and Morth, 8-6. Lampa and Mihai defeated Espie and Riseng 8-4 to secure the doubles point for St. John's.
The 5-2 victory marked the first win for the Hatters over a ranked opponent since April 15, 2011, when they defeated #71 North Florida in the Atlantic Sun semifinals. This is the first win for Stetson against a non-conference ranked opponent since March 16, 2010, when the team defeated #70 Cleveland State.
The next match for the Hatters will be Saturday, Feb. 2 against Flagler College at 1:00 p.m. The match will be the second of a doubleheader, with the women's tennis team beginning play at 10:00 a.m.
"St. Johns has an experienced line-up and will have their share of successes this year," Pilote said of the Red Storm. "We will now turn our focus to preparing for our next match against Flagler."

It looks like the originals had a barrel twist of 1:72 while the repros have a fast 1:18.
The brass is pricey but available at a few places.
From what I read, you don't need alot of brass. You pour the powder into the case, then just push the bullet in and load it into the rifle. They use musket caps.

JeorgeS the sling shot guy in non firearms weapons has one....in Germany. You might PM him or give a shout out.
Frankonia and others carried them in the mid 1970'sin Germany and I came close but as a lower enlisted guy I had to store such in the arms room and so get permission to do so and had been told I had too many PoWs as it was already.
I seem to recall at that time they came with some steel cartridge like inserts that I could not imagine giving a good seal. I also understand that a good many origanals had been imported to France for the little Franco Prussian blow up about five years after the ACW. You might check with some French guys here abouts on this board.
I seem to recall that the US Army carbine surveys made during the ACW did not rate them highly but I could be wrong.

An old Dixie catalog I keep near my desk listed them call it ten years ago as part # KA0604. Might plug the numbers in Dixies search engine and see if it come up as the right thing.
December 1, 2012, 10:39 PM
From what I've read, it's a good idea to have the repros relined in .50, otherwise they're not very accurate. They are interesting - they break open to take the cartridge but still use a musket cap. One shooter online says that he loads them like a muzzle loader.
Yep, DGW does list them at $7.00 each. I think I'll stick with the ML'ers and Trapdoor.
Thanks for the info.

Here's what I've never
Here's what I've never understood with Rickey's lineups.....can't Valbuena play LF? I mean, I believe Az Phil when he wrote that Epstoyer were dictating lineups to Rickey. So...you can still play Barney, Schierholtz, Valbuena & Ruggiano almost every day AND play Olt at 3B at least 5-6 times a week IF they wanted to.
The only result would be less at bats for Sweeney, Coghlan, & (God forbid) Lake. Since Lake couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat - not a big loss. There has to be a reason but right now the only conclusion I can come to is that Epstoyer don't see Olt as a long term part of the rebuild. And that brings another question: then why has he been the 25-man all season?
hell, if olt is going to be a
hell, if olt is going to be a part time player how about letting him play LF/RF/1st/whatever to increase his playing time?
the guy is 2nd on the team in HRs with 200-ish less PA than #1 or #3.
along with the good D there's something there worth investigating or building value with.

Olt at ss to give Castro a breather
/not really
It's silly to play Olt
It's silly to play Olt anywhere but third. He's a good third baseman, just play him there. See what he can do. In an earlier post Ryno bitched about all the swooning over Olt. It's worth addressing again. It's NOT swooning over Olt. It's wondering out loud why a guy with such enormous power - to all fields, which suggests he may eventually hit some doubles - isn't getting a real test out there.
For all I know, Olt will end up a being a dud. He looks rather Oltish pretty often at the plate, swinging and missing at what seem to be perfectly hittable pitches for a major leaguer. On the other hand, he rarely goes fishing, plays nice D, and it could be that he misses those fastballs simply because his timing is not quite there. So his percentage of jacks may actually go up a bit if he plays more, and his average BETTER go up if he has any hope of sticking.
But the team has a pretty brief window here to find out if he can play, and if he ends up being good, it's going to be ugly if he ends up good for another team after the Cubs skip out on this window. Even if he doesn't fit the new "Cubs Way", if he gets some playing time and does fairly well, he's another valuable trade chip.
This is not about swooning or even thinking Olt is some kind of star in the making. This is just fans wondering why the team isn't more eager to find out what they have here, especially given the prodigious power he has shown.
Yeah hard to imagine not
Yeah hard to imagine not wanting the power in the lineup especially with good D. At 1 HR every 14 AB he'd be hitting a little over a homer per week ... and that's at his current pace. Plus I would like to see how he settles in. Remember how balanced and confident he was coming out of ST? Shark said he knew exactly what he was doing at the plate and that he was the real deal.
I had some concern about the
I had some concern about the Kris Bryant ejection last night, wondering just what exactly happened, is he a hot head, etc. The report from the Iowa broadcasters today:
The reason Kris Bryant was ejected last night is after his strikeout, on his way back to the dugout, Kris calmly says "that's on you, blue". I think most times comments like this don't get a response.

Kyuji Fujikawa with another rehab outing for AZL Cubs (second in four days after being shut-down for a month following conclusion of EXST), a 1-2-3 inning (9 pitches - 7 strikes). Fastball velocity was consistent (90-91 MPH on all six fastballs thrown), plus three outstanding hard-splitters (one used to chase the strikeout on first hitter faced). After the first batter struck out (swinging) on a 1-2 pitch, second man popped out on a bunt, and the third hitter flied out to short-center. Very fast inning.

Stinnett, Sands, and Steele haven't thrown in games yet (not ready) and Cease has sprained elbow UCL, so Norwood is (by far) the best of the recent Cubs draft pick pitchers I've seen so far. Future bullpen power arm. Has the "short-arm" action you often will see from a converted infielder. Just get the ball and throw it.

What we already knew
Tito, Ryno... I'm sorry if I
Tito, Ryno... I'm sorry if I've been annoying. This is not meant to be argumentative but let's look at the numbers:
Olt vs. rest of Cubs roster:
HR - 2nd on team
RBI - 4th on team
BB - 4th on team
AB - 9th on team behind:
Olt vs. other NL rookies:
HR - 1st with 12 next closest has 6
BB - 2nd in league
RBI - 2nd in league behind Billy Hamilton who has 317 AB to Olt's 174 AB. And it's worth noting Hamilton was struggling early and has even missed games due to minor injuries AND he plays on a contender. Now he's playing GREAT!
There have been 14 times this season that he's been allowed to start back to back days. The last time that happened was in May - 27th and 28th. Remember this is a rookie who needs exposure and repetition at the highest level of play.
Again sorry if it's been tiring to hear - I agree I personally am a one trick pony at this point because there's almost nothing else to explore this year on the ML team. Maybe K. Hendricks will be fun. Valbuena was my favorite player last year and I hate seeing his name right now. I think Ryno is right about there being little to cheer for so I'm filling my energy with Olt bitching. But I think, at least for a few of us it's just as baffling that they aren't letting the guy play every day. He was a platoon+ matchup player from week one who's pretty much been abandoned now - and on a last place team that's really hard to figure out when he is a former top 50 prospect and plays great D, while showing flashes of brilliance.
That's pretty much the whole of my argument and the rest of it either I or someone else had said before.
I'm hoping it's just very shrewd marketing of people Theo wants to trade but I think when Ricky opens his mouth or consistently pulls him late in close games (even when he homered, walked and lined out hard in the same game) it makes some of us wonder what Ricky is doing because obviously front office doesn't dictate that.
Anyway that's the best I can explain it. I hear your opinions, this is just mine.
Carlito, this is July and the
Carlito, this is July and the Cubs are sellers. The seats behind the plate are filled with scouts. This is Valbuena's month and Barney's month, not Olt's month. The previous months were geared to making Valbuena and Barney look like starters come July.
Next month will be different for Olt. Of course, so will next season, when Bryant comes looking for his job. But at least it won't be Valbuena and Barney keeping Olt on the bench.
This is the only thing that
This is the only thing that makes sense. I hope you are right. As we've seen theo jed are pretty cutthroat with their strategies - I really hope you are right. It just feels like Ricky does stupid shit on top of this strategy which makes me wonder if he'll ever get behind him.
That said your argument fits and as I've said before if they didn't like Olt I think they'd be playing him to shop. Weirdly now I wonder what they will do with him haha as word is Bryant is a better defender and of course Russell / Castro / Baez / Alcantara all vying for infield jobs!

The Cubs won't need a 4th starter again until Tuesday 7/22 and they won't need a 5th starter again until Saturday 7/26, so Kyle Hendricks should be sent back down when Barney is reinstated, just like Dallas Beeler was optioned back to Iowa to make room for Hendricks. Then Hendricks and Wada can be recalled when 4th and 5th starters are needed again in a couple of weeks.
BTW, even if he is optioned back to the minors Hendricks won't burn an option until he spends at least 19 days on Optional Assignment, and he would be recalled before that.

This is why I don't like free
This is why I don't like free agency as a way to get top of the line pitchers, and why last year I wanted Bryant instead of a pitcher first round, and why this year I wanted a position player first round, instead of a pitcher. Although I will admit I was a little disappointed the Cubs didn't get Tanaka - I got caught up a bit in the hype, but I was hardly crushed when he went to the Yanks. The TheoCorp approach is working pretty well - somehow they are finding quality starters every year without breaking the bank. The one time they did spend some money they got burned, but at least that wasn't an injury. So next year, can they get a Hammel type again on the cheap? I hate to even see them move a high end prospect for a TMJ candidate, sort of a reverse of the Rizzo trade. They may decide to do that, but there's a 50-50 chance that if they do, whoever they pick up will miss a year just like half the other pitchers in the league seem to be doing these days.

guessing Alcantara at 2B or CF, Castro SS, Rizzo 1B, Castillo C, Bryant 3B, and free agents/scrubs at the other 3 with Baez starting the season in Iowa and ready to jump in at 2B, Russell and Soler should be looming next year as well depending on how the rest of AA in 2014 goes.
A lot of musical chairs going

I don't get the impression that the Cub brass enjoys moving shortstops and 3Bs to other positions.
What they really love is trades, preferably blockbusters.
That would basically mean

Save Castro for the Stanton
Save Castro for the Stanton trade, then sign Price after the 2015 season.

Picks of the week!
Oops, something didn't work.
HAHA, this is like a youtube diary video!
I know, embarassing!
Five stars for effort though. A lessor man might have spent the snow day building a fort and an army of snow minions.
Five stars for effort though! +1
It may seem embarassing but the for value of the information you could broadcast from your car and I'd still watch.
Worked well enough for me (and we all know I'm the only one that matters). Good job, Dan.
I was hoping you were going to start crying and screaming, "LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!" at some point.
This worked for me as well
Thanks for the efforts

Can you match ribbons to causes they represent?
POSTED: 11:19 AM PDT September 23, 2011 UPDATED: 1:10 PM PDT May 23, 2014
Ribbons have become so synonymous with raising awareness that seeing a ribbon pinned to someone's lapel no longer prompts questions about what the ribbon is for, but rather what its color represents. See how many causes you can match with their ribbons.

7 Insane Moments in the World's Most Hardcore Haunted House
#3. The Staple Gun
I almost regret that I wasn't more frightened by all of this, because some of the displays in the Blackout Haunted House are insanely well-done and should rightfully scare the life out of anyone. What happens after you meet the rapist is a great example of that.
That rape scene feels like a show closer. It's the kind of image that you can absolutely imagine would be the last thing you'd see as part of a spectacle like this. So when it's over and you're calmly told to wait in a well-lit hallway underneath an exit sign by a man who assures you he'll be back in one second, the natural inclination is to think that you've reached the end of your journey. Surely that staple gun sitting on the floor between you and the exit is a non-issue. Just construction materials left there by some inattentive laborer earlier in the day. Right? Right?!?!?!
Wrong. After a few seconds of standing there, a person who may or may not be the same man who asked you to wait (Soren says it's not, I say it is) comes in through a different entrance. He's dressed like an usher at a movie theater. He looks like an employee. Skinny, balding, wearing glasses, mid-to-late 40s ... and he won't stop staring at you. It soon becomes evident that he is not here to lead you back out into the relative safety of downtown Los Angeles.
The zombies barely move!
You realize this when he picks up that staple gun and starts caressing it. He goes through all of the expected motions that would indicate you're about to be shot with a stapler and then does something unexpected. He puts the stapler in your hand, presses his hand against the business area and tells you to squeeze.
Is this something that people have to be talked into? I'm not sure. Is the fear that this place brings on so paralyzing that some people have to be convinced to squeeze the trigger on this very obviously unloaded staple gun (R.I.P. Brandon Lee)? I'm sure that's often the case. As for me, I don't think he even got all of the word "squeeze" out before I let one rip.
At some point during this exchange, the crazy usher takes the staple gun back from you and starts screaming in pain and anger. He then pretends to staple you repeatedly in the chest while pushing you out of the room and into ...
#2. The Vomitorium
Fine, that's just my name for it. And you're actually just pushed out into another hallway. There's a bathroom door in front of you. Also in front of you ... the rapist. He's back, and he wants you to go to the bathroom with him. You do, of course, and he proceeds to head into a bathroom stall and vomit. Can you guess where this is headed?
If your guess was "into a bathroom stall to retrieve a set of keys from a vomit-filled toilet bowl," then your guess was 100 percent correct and disturbingly specific. Well done.
No matter how calm you are, reaching into that toilet is bad times. Whatever is in there definitely looks like vomit. The texture is more like coffee grounds and, well, vomit. It just feels gross, but thankfully, the keys are easy to find. For some reason, Soren was treated to the additional step of being forced to rinse the keys off in a urinal before moving on. I was lucky and just got to carry mine while they were dripping with pretend vomit the whole time.
Anyway, during this whole ordeal, the rapist is babbling nonsense about how you need to save someone. He escorts you out of the room and into another. And that's where you win the perversion lottery.
#1. The Escape
So now you've got a set of keys. What the hell is that all about? A completely naked and screaming woman chained to the floor is what that's about. I think there were more shoes, too. It's literally just now dawning on me that I was probably supposed to be looking for my shoe during all of this. It probably would have added to the drama. The line of shoes that greeted me when I finally got out tell me that I wasn't the only one who didn't bother. Motherfuckers aren't keeping our shoes. We'd Judge Judy the shit out of that place. I was nervous about a lot of things in there; having my personal belongings commandeered was not one of them.
And this is exactly what I'm talking about. I've just told you that a completely naked woman is chained to the floor and then spent the next hundred words or so picking apart the terror planning at this haunted house. Jaded Internet writers, man.
Anyway, yeah, there's a woman chained to the floor. Seems like a good place to try out those keys. The first key I tried was too big for the lock. The woman is screaming the entire time about how "He's coming back!" and then suggests that I look for a different key. I take this to mean that there are more keys scattered around the room because, man, that would have been pretty nerve-wracking, right? So I dropped the set of keys I was holding and started to feel around for more keys. That's when the harsh reality that I was basically on a porn set came crashing back down on me as the "kidnapping victim" chained to the ground stopped my search before it could even begin by screaming "The other key would have to be on the same ring!"
Oh, word? Did the man who chained you to the floor tell you that?
Again, the burden of superhero-like observational skills wins the day. I doubt that this nit-picky shit matters to your average well-terrified patron. It's just my nature to complain, even when I'm being treated to the equivalent of a horror movie couch dance.
So about that. After you unchain the woman, she grabs your hand and you run around like beheaded chickens looking for an exit. It's at this point in the story that I've gotten the same question from a few different sources. When I saw that there was a naked woman there, did I stop for a bit and take in the scenery? When we were running for an exit, did I make sure to get a good look at her ass? Was it hard to run with a throbbing erection?
Surprisingly, the answer is no. If there's a single person I remember the least from that whole ordeal, it's Princess Peach at the end. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some kind of weirdo who doesn't enjoy looking at beautiful women. I just enjoy not having people shrieking in my ear even more. Call those priorities out of line all you want, but I'll take "her shutting up about some guy who's coming back" over "getting a glance at her vag" any day.
After running around for a bit, you finally come face-to-face with the same jerkstore who walked you into the place, this time asking if you "touched that chick" and saying that "you're a part of this now." It felt unbelievably corny. Soren thinks they were trying to make it seem like you had maybe broken the rules and possibly the law by touching that woman on the way out. Or something like that? I dunno, but I looked like this when I walked out.
While I didn't find the Blackout Haunted House all that terrifying, I can absolutely see how it would freak a person out. Thankfully, I'm not that person.

Running out of outs, Adam Jones and the United States suddenly broke loose and saved themselves from a humbling loss.
Now, thanks to a fast finish, they�re heading to Miami for the next round of the World Baseball Classic.
Jones doubled in the tying and go-ahead runs in the eighth inning, Eric Hosmer hit a three-run double in the ninth, and the U.S. scored seven times in the last two innings to beat Canada 9-4 on Sunday.
�Words can�t describe it,� said Hosmer, who recalled how he felt standing on second after his big hit. �It is hard to hold your emotions right there. It is just an unbelievable feeling, and when you hear the crowd chant �USA� and the other crowd chanting �Canada� � it is an unbelievable experience.�
The winner of the game moved on; the loser went home. And for a long while, it didn�t look good for manager Joe Torre�s team.
�It would have been embarrassing,� second baseman Brandon Phillips said. �I would have been embarrassed. USA: This is where baseball started, and we represent our country.
�I just feel that if we had lost we didn�t do our job. We have to go out there and try to be the first American team to win the WBC. That is our goal.�
The U.S. trailed 3-2 after seven innings before erupting. Team USA and Italy each went 2-1 and advanced in Group D, while Canada and Mexico went 1-2 and were eliminated.
�We believed in ourselves and turned it around, and that is a beautiful thing,� Phillips said.
Jones and Hosmer both had a rough week at the plate but came through with the U.S. on the brink of defeat. Jones� hit was his second in nine at-bats. Hosmer, a late replacement on the U.S. roster for injured Mark Teixeira, was 3-for-13.
Torre said the U.S. lineup had too much talent not to finally come through.
�Those two balls that were hit, both Jones and Hosmer, were about as hard as you�ll ever see because I think both times the center fielder thought he had a shot at it, and he just had no chance,� Torre said. �That ball just took off over their heads. They creamed those.�
The Gold Glover Phillips contributed, too, making a diving stop to prevent Canada from tying it in the eighth, then doubling and scoring in the ninth.
Heath Bell pitched a scoreless seventh to get the victory.
Jimmy Henderson took the loss.
Canada�s Michael Saunders (Seattle Mariners) hit a two-run homer off starter Derek Holland and was chosen the Group D MVP, going 8-for-11 in the tournament with seven RBIs.
�It�s an honor,� Saunders said, �But it�s really kind of a sour taste in my mouth right now.�
Canada manager Ernie Whitt called Saunders �an up-and-coming outfielder that�s going to be a superstar.�
David Wright, whose grand slam lifted the U.S. past Italy on Saturday night, doubled and walked three times. Ben Zobrist had three hits, none of which left the infield.
Canada, coming off a 10-3 win over Mexico that featured a bruising ninth-inning brawl, finished 1-2. The Canadians have not made it out of the first round for any of the three WBCs.
But they looked in great shape much of the afternoon against the U.S., which was looking to avoid its worst showing ever in the tournament. The Americans made it to the second round in 2006 and the semifinals in 2009.
For the third consecutive game, the U.S. fell behind early.
Justin Morneau, 8-for-12 in the tournament for Canada, doubled to start the second, then Saunders hit Holland�s 1-0 pitch into the bullpen down the right-field line to make it 2-0.
The U.S. tied it with two runs in the fourth, one unearned.
Joe Mauer led off with a single, and Wright walked. Zobrist put down a near-perfect bunt for a base hit, with third baseman Taylor Green throwing wildly to first and allowing a run to score. Jones� sacrifice fly to center brought in the tying run.
Green, playing third for Canada because Brett Lawrie was hurt just before the WBC began, also had an error in the second when he dropped Zobrist�s high fly ball in the bright sunlight.
Canada regained the lead at 3-2 in the sixth. Joey Votto drew a leadoff walk from reliever Glen Perkins, then took second on Morneau�s single. Saunders struck out looking, and Chris Robinson flied out, advancing the runner to third. Adam Loewen�s first-pitch single brought Votto home.
Mauer opened the eighth with a single, then Wright walked. Torre made an aggressive move when, with Willie Bloomquist pinch-running for Mauer, he sent both runners on Henderson�s 1-2 pitch to Jones. Jones connected, bringing both runners home, and the U.S. had the lead for good. Shane Victorino singled Jones home to make it 5-3.
Canada made it a one-run game in its half of the eighth but would have tied it had it not been for a spectacular defensive play by Phillips. His diving stop of Loewen�s bases-loaded grounder allowed one run to score but kept the U.S. in the lead.
The U.S. broke it open off Scott Matheson and closer John Axford in the ninth. Phillips started it with a double. Jonathan Lucroy had an RBI single, then Wright walked once again. Axford came on and allowed the infield single to Zobrist. Jones struck out, but Hosmer cleared the bases with a shot to deep center.
Torre benched Miami�s dynamic young slugger Giancarlo Stanton � hitless in the first two games with a pair of deep fly balls in the opening loss to Mexico � in favor of Victorino in left field. He also moved Ryan Braun to designated hitter and put Zobrist in right. Mauer, the DH in the first two games, was the starting catcher.

Intel® Core™ Duo Processor on 65-nm Process Thermal Design Guide
The power dissipation of electronic components has risen along with the increase in complexity of computer systems. To ensure quality, reliability, and performance goals are met over the product's life cycle, the heat generated by the device must be properly dissipated. Typical methods to improve heat dissipation include selective use of airflow ducting and/or the use of heatsinks.
The goals of this document are to:
• Specify the thermal and mechanical specification for the device
• Describe a reference thermal solution that meets the specifications
A properly designed thermal solution will adequately cool the device at or below the thermal specification. This is accomplished by providing a suitable local ambient temperature, ensuring adequate local airflow, and minimizing the die to local ambient thermal resistance. Operation outside the functional limits can degrade system performance and may cause permanent changes in the operating characteristics of the component.

Pets: Part of the family?
Many of us have pets, and we feel an incredible affinity with them.
We love them as family members, take them on trips and integrate them into our daily routines.
The most popular family pets are dogs and cats.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, 39% of all American households own at least one dog, while 33% own at least one cat. In the UK, the PFMA notes that 46% of homes have a pet and of those, dogs account for 22%, cats 18%.
Technically, a family tree is a place for human relatives, and a human cannot be physically related to a pet. However, there are numerous stories of people including their pets in their last will and testament.
Maria Assunta (Italy) left $13 milion to her cat. Countess Karlotta Libenstein (Germany) left $106 million to her German shepherd, Gunther III. And if that's not bizarre enough, by the time Gunther IV was born, via some clever investments by trustees, the inheritance had grown to $372 million.

I don't actually hate them.
I don't like the fake laces, I don't like the gold outline on the maple leaf, and I don't like that the maple leaf kind of looks like the petrocan logo BUT I like them better than the USA jerseys so I'll take it.
Ouch. That's like saying Sammy's cuter than the Sedins so he must be ok.
I'm actually ok with the gold outline on the maple leaf. The fake laces and shiny shoulders? Not so much.

Michael Guerriero is the author of Party Across America! 101 Of the Greatest Festivals, Sporting Events, And Celebrations in the U.S. Laid off from his corporate job, Guerriero used his severance pay to fund a cross-country trip to find the best parties in America. I asked him about the top spots for this Fourth of July.
Taste of Chicago. Fourth of July in Grant Park takes place during the country's largest food festival. After gorging yourself on Chicago's finest cuisine, stake your claim on a piece of grass for the "1812 Overture," which signals the start of a fireworks display that makes a KISS concert seem like child's play. Live music and partying in Grant Park the rest of the evening.
Peachtree 10K. Atlanta's infamous 4th of July celebration begins earlier in the day than anywhere else in the U.S. 55,000 runners arrive at Lenox Square in Buckhead at 6:30 a.m. for 6.2 mile running race called the Peachtree 10K (thousands of runners are turned away because the race fills up so quickly). The rest of Atlanta shows up in droves to watch – 150,000 spectators line the streets, stand on rooftops, and begin their Fourth of July celebrating at the crack of dawn. Resturants and bars along the race course open early, live music – and it doesn't stop all day long. Culminating in Centennial Olympic Park, with a grand fireworks display.
Wilmington, NC. Nicknamed "Hollywood East (many movies and TV shows are filmed there), Wilmington is a picturesque and charming city on the Cape Fear River. Their Fourth of July celebration wins the prize for the "most festive small city" celebration in the U.S.
Summerfest Milwaukee. The Guinness Record holder for "the world's largest party" is an annual music festival in Milwaukee that's been taking place for over 40 years. Summerfest is 11 days of world cuisine and top notch music acts on the shores of Lake Michigan. 4th of July is the pinnacle of the event, which draws 800,000 people each year. The fireworks display is amazing!

You should probably use something else instead of this for your arguement, because a lot of hockey fans hate the Wings anyways. If you go on a Blues forum, would they give the Wings a good name?
Haha, I love Tootoo discussion threads, because it's funny how everyones feathers get all ruffled up by the thought of it (him playing on the Wings that is). A simple "no" could suffice just fine.

Brookhaven College student beaten by gang members over spring break is suing Padre beach resort
The college student who was beaten nearly to death during spring break by what authorities said was a group of Texas gang members is now suing the beach resort where the bloody attack took place, according to the Courthouse News Service.
Derek Madrigal, 21 at the time, claims that Coca-Cola, the party sponsor and the Isla Grand Beach Resort provided inadequate security at the event.
Madrigal's friends told the media earlier this year that the young man, a student at Brookhaven College, was defending the honor of a young woman. He politely asked one of the alleged gang members not to be rude to her, according to the complaint. When he tried to move the man away from the young woman and defend himself, he was then attacked by a total of nine men, according to news reports. Then, members of the gang beat him, stabbed him several times and hit him with picnic coolers.
During the weeks following the attack, nearly a dozen members of the Mexican Mafia, the alleged gang involved in the beating, were arrested and charged.
"At one point a bystander attempted to pull Derek out of the fray and into another tent, but the violent gang relentlessly dragged him back and continued beating, stabbing and injuring him," according to the complaint, Courthouse News Service reports.
Madrigal filed his complaint in a Cameron County court — the county in which South Padre Island is located. In the document, according to Courthouse News Service, he claims the party organizers allowed "gang members to roam freely among the thousands of college-age men and women."
Madrigal says that the men who beat him during the vacation had been harassing other people on the beach for days before the attack. "Based on their open and obvious behavior, an attack was inevitable…yet no security personnel intervened and removed the dangerous gang members from the premises," the complaint says.
Madrigal is seeking punitive damages for negligence and premises liability.

Is there a way to access past pages of the web site front page or if not would it be possible to make them available. There are times when it would be nice to be able to refer back to some information that was on in the past.

The most popular diet of the year is none other than the incomparable Jillian Michaels. It's not entirely surprising when you consider she's been one of the most consistent players on our list since 2008, with her online brand, detox product, and earliest workout DVD ranking each year. In fact, the latter two were both on last year's top ten list. We expect to see Curves, ranking for the first time since 2008, as the Biggest Loser trainer just announced a new partnership with Curves.
What is most surprising is how Jillian Michaels knocked the giant that is Weight Watchers out of the number one position. That's only been done once before, by 17 Day Diet in 2011. Even that year Weight Watchers held on to number two, but this year they slipped in to the fifth most popular spot.
And 17 Day Diet grabbed ranking number four, hardly losing any ground since its overwhelmingly popular release in late 2010. Its position on our annual Most Popular lists, ahead of Weight Watchers once again, will no doubt help with the release of 17 Day Diet: Breakthrough Edition on the 31st.
The only constant between last year's list and this – Medifast. They've got number 3 on lock, with the meal delivery diet staying strong in the top ten since 2010.
Another staple of our list fell pretty hard this year, with hCG falling down to number 14. No, the supplement boom isn't over, as its disappearance only made room for brands like Skinny Fiber (a shocking number 2) and Plexus Slim (at number 6) to move on up the list. Dr. Oz-endorsed Raspberry Ketones (17) and Green Coffee Bean Extract (20) were other weight-loss-by-pill categories that did especially well this year.
Check out the 25 Most Popular Diets of 2013* as determined by you, our readers.
