Hello, I Love You, I'm Pooping! (10 Things I Never Thought I'd Let My Husband See)Monica Bielanko
I know the date of the first time I peed in front of my husband.
Oh sure, I've yelled at him to pull over during long trips and I've skedaddled to the back of the car to pee alongside the highway, but he couldn't see me.
But the very first time I allowed him to view me availing myself of the porcelain facilities was March of 2006. A full year-and-a-half into our marriage. I know because I blogged about it:
Before I got married, I declared I absolutely WOULD NOT be one of those girls that performs all manner of bathroom ablutions in front of their betrothed. Peeing publicly was a right strictly reserved for my gaggle of girlfriends, particularly on those drunken nights out with the gal gang. And up until yesterday, I'd kept up my end of the pee pact. I've never seen The Surge pee. The same can't be said for boyfriends of yesteryear, but I'd hoped to maintain some sort of mystique for my husband. He is forced to observe me in all manner of compromising positions anyway, must he bear unfortunate witness to peeing too?
I'm certainly not embarrassed to pee in front of him…he's seen me expel all manner of vomit in the most atrocious way possible (filling the cupholders in my truck to the brim on the way home from the FOX Christmas Party 2004) Yes. I did. It's just that…the pee pact was an unspoken one…a gallant affording of respect from one spouse to another.
And most certainly if anything MORE than pee needs to be eliminated, I'm all about running the water, coughing strategically to mask any unpleasant splashing that may echo from our very small, acoustic bathroom, reverberating horrifyingly throughout our size small apartment.
But now our silent pee agreement is broken and it was I that pissed it away. Much the same way I can't reclaim my virginity, I can't go back.
Eight years into our marriage I look back and laugh at silly old me bemoaning the broken pee pact. Anyone who has been married for more than a few years knows that any mystique marriage holds in the early years is out the window quicker than I bolt from the room should Serge unleash his inner gasses nowadays.
Speaking of inner gasses, that's the first thing on my list of 10 things I never thought I'd let my husband see (or hear) me do.
What do you think? Are these things all just part of living and loving or are there some things each individual should just keep to themselves? What I really want to know is, if your husband witnesses you pooping, is there a slow but steady decline in attraction or does he not give a *ahem* sh!t?
One-Gun Salute 1 of 10I never thought I'd issue the ol' butt burp in front of my fella, but, well, sometimes they slip out, you know? And if you happen to be sitting next to your man on a leather couch in a quiet room the sound can be a little louder than you anticipated. But listen. At least I have the good sense to roll down the window in the car if I happen to float a particularly raunchy air biscuit... UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE I COULD NAME.

Creaming The 'Stache 2 of 10At first glance I don't appear to be a hairy girl but, girlfriend, I am. Not thick copious amounts. More like random, intense hair. I get crazy thick goat hairs, I call them, on my chin. I was so impressed with the Tom Selleck-like thickness of one once I made Serge feel it. He was not equally impressed. So yeah, he's seen me creaming my 'stache which he damn well better appreciate after feeling the girth of that goat hair.

Birth Vag 3 of 10Before our first child, Violet, was born I swore I wouldn't let my husband see the baby exit my mangled vagina. I blame Oprah. She had a show once where a bunch of husbands said they could never view their wives in the same way again after witnessing the carnage. But Serge was down there gandering mangled va-jay-jay the whole damn time. He claims he was more focused on the baby's head, something about watching the train coming and not the tunnel. I don't buy it. Somewhere, deep inside, he's GOT to be traumatized by what happened. Hell, I didn't see a thing and I'm still recovering from the single peep in the mirror I took three months after the stitches dissolved.
The Double Pump 4 of 10Listen. I think breastfeeding is as great as the next person, but I will never feel au naturel whilst two milk jugs are hooked to my knockers and the distinct old-man-with-Emphysema wheezing of the breast pump fills the room. And yet I allowed my husband to see me expressing milk like a prize-winning Holstein. Maybe he thought it was hot, who knows what dudes think about that kind of stuff? I never asked. Also, I do not look as perky as this little lady. I'm usually slouched behind two boobs the size of hot air balloons as rolls of mottled, stretch-marked stomach skins rise like bread dough from the elastic waistband of my XXXL Old Navy stretch pants.

Sex With Aunt Flow 5 of 10Some people don't care, they'll take action any way they can get it. Serge is one of these people. I am not. And yet I allowed him to dip the wick when Aunt Flow was in town. And the first time this occurred we weren't even at home...it was in a public place. And that's all I'm going to say about that. That's all you want me to say about that, believe me.
Photo Credit: istockphoto.com
Nipple Hair 6 of 10Yeah, I have nipple hair. AND? Some women have hair there, some don't. It's just one of those things. Obviously, in my twenties, pre-marriage, I was meticulous about plucking. Now? Not so much. Eh. Whatever. You want some boob, buster, you're gonna have to deal with a hair or two.
Blowing My Nose 7 of 10You may be able to blow your nose at the drop of a hat. Me? Nada. I can't deal. Have never liked public nose-blowing and have been known to issue a preference for someone pissing in a bottle at the dinner table over expelling snot into the air. I do not publicly blow my nose. But I do it in front of Serge all the time. I've never blown my nose in front of a boy before him. Never.

Pimple Popping 8 of 10This is just gross, I know. But I am a Pimple Popper, M.D. I must work and if he happens to cruise the bathroom while I'm in surgery, SO BE IT.
Photo Credit: istockphoto.com
Solo Sexercising 9 of 10This is arguably a good thing for Serge. Still, it isn't something I ever thought I'd do in front of a dude. Hell, I was raised Mormon, didn't even do the deed myself until well into my twenties. But, well, if you haven't done it in front of your fella you might consider it. I mean, who knows what you like better than you and maybe he can learn a thing or two or three...

Ear Cleaning 10 of 10Gross. Just plain gross. But, a few months ago I was really sick and after the cold cleared up my ears were ringing for weeks and, well, someone said this Wax Removal stuff works wonders and I needed help and Serge came in to help me and... just... yeah. He helped me clean my ears.

Fate of California Children's Health Program Hangs in the BalanceBroad coalition urges Legislature to vote "no" on the Healthy Families elimination in the budget Sacramento, CA - Amidst growing outrage with a budget deal reached by the Governor and legislative leaders last week that jeopardizes access to health care for California's most vulnerable children, a coalition of organizations representing children, pediatricians and other health providers, faith congregations, and clinics demanded that the Legislature and the Governor remove the Healthy Families elimination from the Budget Trailer Bill. More than 60 organizations, including the California Medical Association; American Academy of Pediatrics, California; children's advocates; health clinics; health plans; Latino organizations; and faith groups urged policymakers to reject the plan to eliminate the Healthy Families Program and shift nearly 900,000 children to Medi-Cal."Shifting children out of a popular, successful program, with no guarantee that they'll have access to health providers, is an unprecedented and reckless experiment with the health of our children," said Suzie Shupe, Executive Director of California Coverage & Health Initiatives. "The shift will also have a disproportionate impact on Latino children, who make up nearly half of Healthy Families children."Advocates warned that moving all Healthy Families children to the Medi-Cal program will severely impact access to health care for the 4.5 million children who rely on both of these programs by putting increased pressure on a fragile system."The move to eliminate the Healthy Families Program would be devastating for the nearly 900,000 children throughout California who depend on the program for medical care," James T. Hay, M.D., President, California Medical Association (CMA) said. "What the Governor has proposed will ensure that those kids now have a harder time getting access to care.""Pediatricians are extremely concerned about the access consequences of the Governor's proposal. Many providers that participate in Healthy Families do not participate in Medi-Cal," said Kris Calvin, Chief Executive Officer of American Academy of Pediatrics, California. "We don't want the kids those providers care for to be without access or to get costly care in the emergency room as a result of this massive, poorly thought-out shift in service delivery.""Eliminating Healthy Families is also a terrible budget decision that puts additional revenue at risk," added Ted Lempert, President of Children Now. In order to score savings of $13 million in the upcoming fiscal year, this plan jeopardizes the opportunity to draw down nearly $200 million for each of the next two years through a continuation of an industry-supported managed care organization (MCO) assessment that California relies on to fund children's health care.The currently Healthy Families enrollment for each county can be found at: http://www.mrmib.ca.gov/mrmib/HFP/May_12/HFPRpt2A.pdf.The statement signed by a broad coalition of organizations is below:"Governor Brown and Members of the California Legislature:The undersigned leaders of organizations representing children, health providers, health plans, and clinics urge you to vote no on provisions in the Trailer Bill related to the Healthy Families Program. In a budget decision different from what the Legislature approved in the budget it sent to the Governor, the agreement reached on June 20 regarding Trailer Bill provisions for Healthy Families needlessly jeopardizes access to health care for California's children by eliminating the Healthy Families Program and shifting nearly 900,000 children into Medi-Cal.This decision recklessly puts at risk the health of millions of California's children. Medi-Cal already faces serious challenges in providing access to care for its enrollees and is straining to adequately serve them. By putting increased pressure on an already very fragile Medi-Cal system, this plan will endanger the health of as many as 4.5 million children – those who now rely on Medi-Cal as well as the additional Healthy Families children who would transition into Medi-Cal within a very short timeframe. The decision is also flawed from a budget standpoint. In order to score savings of $13 million in the upcoming fiscal year ($58 million and $73 million in future years), this plan jeopardizes the opportunity to draw down nearly $200 million for each of the next two years through a continuation of the Managed Care Organization (MCO) assessment. This is an unsound fiscal move that makes no budget sense for California. Our organizations oppose this move because it would be harmful to children and to the state's fiscal health. We respectfully ask the Legislature and the Governor to remove the Healthy Families elimination and transfer plan reflected in the Trailer Bill.Thank you for your consideration.Sincerely, Lesley Cummings, former Executive Director, Managed Risk Medical Insurance Board (2004-2010)Sam Burg, DDS, pediatric dentist from Santa Maria, CAACT for Women and GirlsAmerican Academy of Pediatrics - California DistrictAspiraNetBerkeley Organizing Congregations for ActionCal-Islanders Humanitarian AssociationCalifornia Academy of Family PhysiciansCalifornia Black Health NetworkCalifornia Children's Hospital AssociationCalifornia Coverage & Health InitiativesCalifornia Family Resource AssociationCalifornia Immigrant Policy CenterCalifornia Latinas for Reproductive JusticeCalifornia Medical AssociationCalifornia Pan-Ethnic Health NetworkCalifornia Primary Care AssociationCalifornia School Health Centers AssociationCalifornia State Rural Health AssociationCentral Valley Health NetworkChildren NowChildren's Defense Fund-CaliforniaChildren's Health Initiative of Santa Barbara CountyChildren's Specialty Care CoalitionClinicas de Salud del Pueblo, Inc.Community Health Councils, Inc.Community Health PartnershipCongregations Building Community - ModestoCongregations Organizing for RenewalConsejo de Federaciones Mexicanas en Norteamérica (COFEM)Contra Costa Interfaith Supporting Community OrganizationEQUAL Health NetworkFaith in Community - FresnoFIRST 5 Santa Clara CountyFresno Center for New AmericansFresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries (FIRM)Greater Long Beach Area Interfaith Community OrganizationGreenlining InstituteGuam Communications NetworkHealth Access CaliforniaHealthy House Health Improvement Partnership of Santa Cruz CountyHealthy Kids Healthy Future Regional Children's Health InitiativeHmong Health CollaborativeInland Congregations United for ChangeLA VoiceLao Family Community Empowerment, Inc.Latino Coalition for a Healthy CaliforniaLatino Health AllianceLIFETIMELocal Health Plans of CaliforniaLos Angeles Area Chamber of CommerceLos Angeles Trust for Children's HealthMerced Organizing ProjectMexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF)MomsRisingOakland Community OrganizationOrange County Congregation Community OrganizationNana's WishNational Council of Jewish WomenPeninsula Interfaith ActionPeople Acting in Community Together (PACT) San JosePeople Acting in Community Together (PACT) StocktonPICO CaliforniaPlacer People of Faith TogetherSanta Barbara County Children's Oral Health Collaborative Executive CommitteeSacramento Area Congregations TogetherSan Francisco Organizing ProjectSoutheast Asian Assistance CenterStreet Level Health ProjectThe Children's PartnershipUnited Ways of CaliforniaVenice Family ClinicVisión y Compromiso

A term used to describe a maneuver in first-person shooters (specifically Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2) where a player jumps out of concealment or when under fire, then immediately, once on the ground, goes prone and returns fire. In the case of ambushing another player, the dolphin dive takes advantage of the speed of a running jump to surprise a player and throw off his aim and the concealment of the prone position that follows to prevent taking fire once the enemy becomes oriented. In this case, a single combatant is sometimes able to take on multiple enemies at once.
Their top player had mastered the dolphin dive and was deadly when ambushing enemies.

The long-standing county quota system has been eliminated.
By Patti Hurtgen,
Hoard's Dairyman Online Media Manager
One of the most popular activities for Wisconsin dairy youth is exhibiting at the state fair. Last year, there were over 800 dairy exhibitors. It is encouraging in an era of declining dairy farm numbers to see the demand for this activity stay at a high level. However, not all juniors can participate because the facility cannot accommodate all of the cattle and juniors that would like to exhibit.
With limited space at the state fairgrounds, only 900 to 1,000 head can be housed for the week-long event. In the past, each Wisconsin county was allocated a maximum number of entries. They could bring less, but they risk having their quota for next year lowered. Counties bringing the maximum may have gained quotas. There were challenges at the county level to determine which animals would be exhibited take the very best animals regardless of ownership, allow the older youth priority over the younger ones, and so forth. The scenarios were at times difficult for the county to determine the animals and exhibitors. Some held shows to decide, while others had a county committee to pick the entries. Regardless of the method, the county leaders had input into the selection process and approved the quality of animals being presented.
With 2013 changes, the quota system has been tossed. Youth can still only enter one or two head, depending on their age. (To exhibit at the state fair, they must be at least 12 years old and not over 19. Younger members are limited to just one entry until age 14.) The county/club/organization is still involved. They are contacted to verify the enrollment eligibility of the youth in its program, but only after the entries have been submitted. The goal is to allow some of the counties with lower quota to be able to bring more animals and exhibitors to the show. The quota system was not very flexible. If there was a surge of new youth in the county, they might have to wait awhile to be able to show.
Now, it is everyone for themselves with no county input. Entries are submitted directly to the state fair. The youth determines which of his or her project animals gets entered, not a third party. The fastest ones to enter get to show. While the limit of one to two head still holds true, members who could previously take just one animal due to county quotas can now enter and take two animals. This could leave some counties with no cattle entries or youth exhibitors. The goal was to expand opportunities for smaller counties, but these changes will take away opportunities from others due to space limitations.
Some institutions are slow to change and commit to tradition for far too log, and therefore impede progress. As the state fair entry process begins, we will soon learn if the quotas of the past were a sound equalizer or if the new method is actually beneficial to more exhibitors.

The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water caused quite a stir on Monday by accidentally Tweeting a link to Kim Kardashian's new online game.
"I'm now a C-List celebrity in Kim Kardashian: Hollywood," the now deleted Tweet read. "Come join me and become famous too by playing on iPhone!"
The app, released June 25, is already on track to rake in $200 million. Playing is free, but users can pay to climb the ranks of Los Angeles society – though we have a feeling "purchasing K stars" isn't exactly a line in the EPA's budget.
At least Glu Games, the creator of the app, is supporting the EPA's dream of making it big, Tweeting, "Keep at it @EPAwater, you'll get there. #AList #WillowPapeIsTheWorst #KimKardashianGame"
And the water office isn't ashamed about wanting Mrs. Kanye West's luxurious life.
"Whoops…our bad. Sorry about tweet. Upside – more attention for the Office of Water (water.epa.gov), thanks @KimKardashian," the account Tweeted on Tuesday.
Still, a spokeswoman who doesn't sound like a Keeping Up with the Kardashians fan, took a more serious tone while explaining the gaffe.
"An EPA fellow inadvertently triggered an auto-generated tweet. She regrets the errors and has been advised on the sensitivities of using social media," she said in a statement to USA Today.
Considering that Kardashian has broken Instagram records and basically invented the butt selfie, she could probably teach the ill-fated employee a thing or two about Twitter. From Calabasas to the Hamptons, it's Kim's world: We're just living in the virtual version of it.
Keep at it @EPAwater, you'll get there. #AList #WillowPapeIsTheWorst #KimKardashianGame— Glu Games (@glumobile) July 22, 2014

Now, days after Patridge's split with the rocker, she was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport returning from a Costa Rican getaway with none other than Bobby.
So are these stormy exes ready for more motorcycle rides and another crack at things?
"Nothing is going on between Audrina and Justin," says a source. "She didn't even realize he would be in Costa Rica until she arrived."
Patridge, 25, instead spent the trip filming for The Hills and hanging with the girls. "She traveled and stayed with Stephanie Pratt during the trip and they had a great time surfing, hiking and enjoying the sounds of monkeys on the roof of their villa," says the source.
So can Justin Bobby work his way back into Patridge's newly single heart? Says the source: "He's just part of the show again now so she has to deal with him being where she is from time to time."

2013 Loloma award recipientsNovember 15, 12:00pm - 1:15pm
Manoa Campus, Tokioka room Moore 319
Thanks to a generous donation, the Center for Pacific Islands Studies is able to provide two research travel awards a year to CPIS students. To be eligible for the award, a student must submit a proposal for research in the Pacific Islands that outlines how his or her project will contribute to an increased understanding of humanitarian issues and will benefit the host community or the Pacific region as a whole. During this lunchtime seminar, the 2013 Loloma awardees, Kenneth Gofigan Kuper and Lesley Iaukea, will discuss research they conducted with their awards. "Culture and Identity Preserved: ʻAʻohe pau ka ʻike i ka halau hoʻokahi (All knowledge is not learned in just one school)" Lesley Iaukea Today, there is an ever-growing desire for cultural revival and strengthening native identity in Oceania. My research compares two native cultures—Kanaka Maoli and Tokelauan—which have been dispossessed in one way or another, and the tools they use for a thriving culture. In doing so, I critically analyze the parallels, similarities, and differences between the two groups of people and see what is actually working today in terms of perpetuating their culture. Lesley Iaukea is from Maui, Hawai'i, and earned a BA in geography from UH Mānoa. She has a diverse background including a career as a paramedic for the City and County of Honolulu. Lesley is especially concerned with sea-level rise and its effects on Island nations. For her graduate studies, she is interested in identifying tools that would help Oceanic people perpetuate their cultures. "Ti Apmam, Para u Fanmakmata Todu I Hila' Ginen I Maigo'-ñiha: And Soon, Every Language Shall Awaken From Their Sleep" Kenneth Gofigan Kuper This presentation will delve into the possibilities of language revitalization through connections among Oceanic communities. A Chamoru man's experience in the Māori language landscape will be presented with stories of hope, perseverance, and mutual appreciation. In addition, the role of language in creating or reawakening a political consciousness free of mental colonialism will be discussed. Kenneth Gofigan Kuper is a Chamoru from the Mariana Island of Guåhan. He is currently an MA student in the Pacific Islands studies program and is researching Chamoru language revitalization and decolonization. He is the vice president of the Marianas Club at UH Mānoa and a founding member of the student activist organization Oceania Rising. He teaches a free Chamoru language class every Saturday titled "I Finakmatan I Hila'" or "The Awakening of the Tongue." Ken enjoys heavy metal music, learning languages, reading, and sleeping—definitely, sleeping.

Wicked City...I Think Im Being Watched... You cant trust anyone, not even Sesame Street....=D
ya, i quite watching that show around the orange islands or whatever it was called and then i didn't like it when they introduced more than the original 151 pokemon. they should've stayed in the original league before moving to others (did they ever fight the elite four or see giovanni in person? i mean giovanni appeared in the mewtwo movie but i don't think they battled him any place else and now it isn't even team rocket they're fighting).misty was probably one of my fav character and i'm surprised she isn't ash's girlfriend since in the silver and gold versions u stumble on him (he is yellow in the game, named after the yellow version that lets u start with pikachu, probably the best of the pokemon games) making out with misty before u fight her. "When the heavens do not bring forth justice, man must bring it upon himself to do so. That is the meaning of Jinchuu." -Enishi Yukishiro.

NJCAA Div.-III Women's Nationals
What: NJCAA Division III women's basketball national tournament
Where: UCR Regional Sports Center in Rochester, Minn.
NJCAA Div.-III Women's Nationals
What: NJCAA Division III women's basketball national tournament
Where: UCR Regional Sports Center in Rochester, Minn.
When: Thursday-Saturday
Who: RVC (26-5) vs. Massasoit (Canton, Mass.) at 1 p.m. Thursday
Tournament web site: rochsports.org/njcaawbb
Live stream: ihigh.com/rochsports/
Championship game: 8 p.m. Saturday
While there are two teams with more wins, and five teams with fewer losses, no squad heads into this week's NJCAA Division III national tournament with more respect than Rock Valley College's women.
RVC (26-5) bolts into its third straight national-tourney appearance — and its fourth in the past six years — on a 15-game winning streak, and the two-time defending national champs have been ranked No. 1 in the nation for over a year.
So while all seven of the other teams will be waiting, and hoping, for the Golden Eagles to take a fall, RVC's players are not sitting around expecting anything like that to happen.
"We know when we step out onto that court, nobody's going to like us. Everybody's going to want to knock us off," said former-Dakota standout Aleesha Cleaver, who is one of RVC's most all-around player. "We're confident in everything we do, though. We know we're good, and other teams have a hard time stopping us when we get going."
Cleaver averages 10.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.9 assists, and she's just one of the many weapons for the Golden Eagles. They average 85.0 points per game, second in the nation, and their 16.7 steals are the third most in the nation, proving that their defense is as dangerous as their offense.
"We've got great leadership, and our captains just never let us slack or let down — on either side of the court," said guard Sam Rundblade, a former Rockford Lutehran standout who's averaging 7.6 points per game and is shooting a team-best 36.8 percent from 3-point land. "We can go after teams in a lot of ways."
Four players are averaging in double figures in scoring for RVC, led by Marquiesha Grant (18.9 points per game), who has the 11th most points in the nation (585) and is also sixth in the country with 150 assists. The team's 5-foot-6 post player Yowana Posey is 25th in the nation with 114 offensive rebounds, and she's helped RVC to a rebounding margin of plus-9.7, 20th in D-III this season.
The top-seeded Golden Eagles open Thursday at 1 p.m. against the eighth seeds from Massasoit (16-6), who come into the tourney with the fewest wins and second-most losses. The title game is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Saturday.

David Zalubowski/The Associated Press
David Zalubowski/The Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. � Peyton Manning is discovering that one of the biggest benefits to joining the Denver Broncos is their star-studded secondary.
It�s helping him gauge his progress in his comeback, sharpen his timing with his new targets and scrape away the rust after his lost 2011 season.
The Broncos restocked their defensive backfield over the winter after seeing Pittsburgh�s four-wide receiver sets and New England�s big tight ends torch them in the playoffs.
They added veterans Tracy Porter, Drayton Florence and Mike Adams along with rookie Omar Bolden; they released Andre� Goodman and wished Brian Dawkins well in his retirement.
With Quinton Carter sidelined, fellow second-year safety Raheem Moore is turning heads again, as is second-year cornerback Chris Harris, who will prove hard to bump out of his nickel back spot.
�We�ve got three great cover corners to work against,� Manning said in the offseason, speaking of veterans Champ Bailey, Porter and Florence, who have a combined 26 years of NFL experience.
Anymore in the pass-happy pros, you need three starting cornerbacks.
�Oh, you know what, I even think we�ve got a fourth one in Chris Harris, put him in the mix, also,� secondary coach Ron Milus said.
Led by Bailey, an 11-time Pro Bowler, this restocked secondary is providing Manning with some tough tests as he returns from a nerve injury that caused weakness in his throwing arm and led to a series of neck operations that cost him the entire 2011 season along with his job in Indianapolis.
The Broncos (No. 10 in the AP Pro32) had to do something to counter the spread offenses that are all the rage in the NFL these days. So, they brought in the reinforcements to reshape their defensive backfield.
�I think it is important. I know one thing that happened a year ago, particularly when we had to play Pittsburgh when they had their four wide-receiver sets and then when we had to play New England and they had those tight end/wide receiver guys that we had to have some guys out there to help us cover and bring them down,� Milus said.
Carter and Moore took turns struggling as rookies last season, with Moore the starter early on and Carter earning more playing time down the stretch. Now that they�ve had a full offseason of work �they�re kind of starting to look like we thought they were going to look,� Milus said.
Adams is wearing No. 20, just as he did in Cleveland, in honor of Dawkins, whom he began to admire and emulate back at the University of Delaware a decade ago.
�I enjoyed watching him my whole career and hopefully I make him proud wearing that number,� Adams said.
Adams reminds Milus a little bit of Dawkins.
�This guy will get �em down,� Milus said. �I don�t know if he�s going to knock `em back like Dawk, I mean, c�mon. But he�s tenacious, and I think he�s got some ball skills. And he appears to be fairly fast and agile.�
Bailey, who turns 34 next month, is coming off his 11th Pro Bowl, which extended his record for cornerbacks, and Porter can�t wait to line up next to him on Sundays.
�To come and to learn from him, that�s something that any corner would dream of,� Porter said. �As far as me getting the ball because they�re not going to throw at him, if that was something that I was afraid of I wouldn�t have signed here. I�m looking forward to the challenge.�
The defensive backfield room is like musical chairs, apparently, with veterans and rookies alike trying to sit next to Bailey like all those kids in high school who want to sit next to the smartest kid in class.
Bolden is one of them.
�He�s found a seat right next to Champ, and so that�s good for him,� Milus said. �Maybe some of that will rub off on him.�
Bolden�s career at Arizona State was stunted by knee injuries, causing his draft stock to drop. But the Broncos took a chance on him by selecting him in the fourth round, and Milus said he�s been impressed by his work ethic.
Florence joined the Broncos� crowded field of cornerbacks after his release from the Buffalo Bills, where he started 45 games in three years.
Like several other newcomers, Florence said he was drawn to Denver for a shot at playing with Manning.
�With Peyton Manning being here and it being my 10th year in the league, I�m trying to win a Super Bowl ring,� Florence said.
The Broncos have a brutal first half of the season against an impressive collection of quarterbacks, including Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers and Drew Brees followed by games at Cincinnati and Carolina, where they�ll play two of the league�s rising young passers in Andy Dalton and Cam Newton.
Milus likes the Broncos� chances with this enriched secondary.
�Well, we went out and addressed a couple of those needs to help us against those teams that are going to be throwing the football,� Milus said. �And by us having Champ and Tracy and Florence and some of the guys we have on our team now I would hope that we can go out there and match up with people. So, when we face the tight end from New England (Aaron Hernandez), when he goes out there and he�s a quasi-wide receiver, we�ll feel good about putting that corner on him.�

Best Place to Mill Around >
It's easy to appreciate the Clifton Mill for its quaint beauty and historical charm, but what really makes it special is that it is one of fewer than 100 mills still operating in the United States. The original structure, perched above the Little Miami River and the Clifton Gorge, was built in 1802. After several owners and a period of inactivity, the mill was restored into what is now the largest and oldest water-powered gristmill in the country. Stop by for tours and a bite to eat in the on-premises restaurant. 75 Water St., Clifton, 937/767-5501, www.cliftonmill.com.
Best Tailgating Fare
For those who like to tailgate but don't want the hassle of hauling a grill to the game, let City Barbeque do the cooking. This joint's mouth-watering beef brisket and pulled pork provide the perfect pregame spread. Throw in a side of macaroni and cheese and some cornbread and you just might miss the first quarter. Multiple locations, www.citybbq.com.
Best Place to Take Your Tyke
Tucked between the sprawling Columbus suburbs of Hilliard and Dublin is a parent's best friend - 44 acres of free fun for the little ones. The Homestead has more than enough swings and slides to satisfy any youthful appetite for adventure, but the fort and water playground are the main attractions at this picture-perfect park that pays homage to the area's agricultural and railroad heritage. 4675 Cosgray Rd., Washington Township, www.washingtontownshipoh.us/parks/homestead.asp.
Best Place for a Midday Perk
While many of the 9-to-5ers in downtown Columbus still flock to that Seattle-based caffeine machine for an afternoon jolt, you'll always find a crowd of informed locals at Cafe Brioso, which roasts its own beans to produce some mighty tasty brews. It's not all about the bean, though. Brioso's deli sandwiches, particularly on their fresh-baked foccacia bread, keep 'em coming back for more. 14 E. Gay St., Columbus, 614/228-8366, www.cafebrioso.com.
Best Christmas in July
The weather on Lake Erie may be warm, but you'll think it's the most wonderful time of the year as the carousel plays familiar carols and the islanders deck the town of Put-in-Bay in red and green. Santa smiles from lampposts as the holiday parade meanders through the streets. And even the harbor shines as boaters boast tinsel and twinkling lights. Christmas may be six months away, but you'll be sure to catch a bit of holiday cheer. www.put-in-bay.com.
< Best Torte
The dreamy opera cream torte at The Bonbonerie bakery in Cincinnati's O'Bryonville commercial district is difficult to resist, impossible to classify.
2030 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, 513/321-3399, www.bonbonerie.com.
Best Academic Tradition
Not every public school has the means and motivation to help students "Rise to the Highest." But Walnut Hills, a 111-year-old college prep, public high school in Cincinnati, encourages students to follow its Latin motto, "Sursum ad Summum." Walnut Hills' curriculum follows the classical design of East Coast preparatory schools; this, combined with a diverse student body, highly trained faculty and many AP courses, helps create successful graduates such as Ric Bucher of ESPN, conductor James Levine and contemporary artist Jim Dine. 3250 Victory Pkwy., 513/363-8400, http://whhs.cps-k12.org.
Best Frozen Fruit
When Firelands Winery winemaker Claudio Salvador left his native Italy more than 25 years ago, ice wine was better known as "eiswein," the German name for this richly sweet dessert wine that was then largely a German product. Lucky for us, Salvador is one of a growing number of Ohio winemakers whose efforts have captured the palates of discerning dessert-wine drinkers. Last summer, Salvador took home top honors for his Firelands 2005 Vidal Ice Wine at major wine competitions in California and Michigan. 917 Bardshar Rd, Sandusky, 419/625-5474, 800/548-WINE (9463), www.firelandswinery.com.
Best Place to See a Film >
A bucket of popcorn and a large soda aren't the only snack choices at the Drexel Theatres in Columbus. And if you think you're going to see the typical Hollywood blockbusters here, fahgetaboutit. Drexels show independent films from around the world, which you may choose to enjoy with a glass of wine, cup of tea or gourmet dessert. Taking in a movie at these theaters is box office luxury. www.drexel.net.
Best Free Ticket
Year in and year out, one of the most sought-after tickets in college football is the one that gets you through the gates at Ohio Stadium to see the Buckeyes. For the lucky few selected as volunteer ushers, admission is free - not bad compensation if you don't mind working while you watch your favorite team roll to victory. Want on the waiting list? Call the Ohio State Athletics Department at 614/292-1848.
Best Sushi
The classy Pan-Asian atmosphere only accentuates the handmade Japanese delicacies that you'll enjoy at Tyfoon in Columbus' Short North neighborhood. The chef has concocted 20 of his own specialty rolls, including a selection featuring the rare fatty tuna. This is a feast for both your stomach and your eyes. Order the dragon roll, and you'll be served a dragon-shaped delicacy. With a large order, your sushi will be served on a bridge or wooden boat. 106 Vine St., Columbus, 614/224-9219.
Best Cream Puff
In 1986, the mayor of Columbus jokingly deemed the Schmidt's cream puff the eighth wonder of the world. One bite of this trademark dessert and you're likely to agree. If you don't think you have room for more after a feast of sausage and potatoes at this German Village restaurant, take a turn around the polka floor, then order yourself a baseball-sized cream puff. It's the closest you'll get to Germany without leaving the state. 240 East Kossuth St., 614/444-6808, www.schmidthaus.com.
Best Stacks With a Story
Ohio bibliophiles should be proud to know that we are home to the first county library in the United States. Dedicated in 1901, the Brumback Library in Van Wert holds that distinction. No expense was spared in the building of the imposing Gothic and Romanesque structure, which boasts turreted towers, a Ludowici tile roof and a surrounding park. 215 W. Main St., Van Wert, 419/238-2168, www.brumbacklib.com.
< Best Place to Get Pumped Up
For a few days every year, Columbus gets a little leaner and everybody brushes up on their Terminator impressions. This year, Gov. Schwarzenegger brings his Arnold Classic fitness extravaganza to the capital city March 2-4. With arm-wrestling, power-lifting and bodybuilding events on the bill, it's all about the muscle.
Best Spot to Step into Spring
Whether you're a wildflower fan or a dedicated birder, Forrest Woods Nature Preserve in Paulding County is unequivocally awesome for getting that first taste of spring. The 193-acre preserve houses more than 350 plant species and 130 bird species and is the largest undisturbed portion of the Great Black Swamp. The trick is finding it. Would-be walkers should contact the Black Swamp Conservancy for permission and directions, since the property is still being developed and lacks signage and marked trails. 419/872-5263, www.blackswamp.org.
Best Bog
When Buckeye Lake was transformed from a swamp into a lake in 1826, a significant portion of the cranberry-sphagnum bog broke loose from the bottom and floated to the surface. The Cranberry Bog is now a state nature preserve and a National Natural Landmark. The Greater Buckeye Lake Historical Society offers tours of the bog by appointment and holds a public open house every June when visitors can take a guided hike on the bog's boardwalk trail. The Greater Buckeye Lake Historical Society, 4729 Walnut Rd., Hebron, 740/929-1998.
Best Reason to Dust Off Your Running Shoes >
Pamplona, Spain, may have the running of the bulls, but Cincinnati has its very own running of the ... pigs? That's right. Every year, runners pull out their plastic snouts for the Flying Pig Marathon. Not only do these athletes have fun, they can also use their time to qualify for the Boston Marathon. This year's event is on May 6. 513/721-PIGS www.flyingpigmarathon.com.
Best Asian Treat
Think coffee shop meets arcade. Then add an Asian pop culture twist. That's Momo KTV in Columbus. This restaurant's specialty is bubble tea: a drink combining a fruit smoothie, tea or milk with chewy marble-sized tapioca pearls, known as bubbles. While sipping through an oversized straw, watch Japanese music videos on the shop's plasma screen TVs. Or if you're daring, request a karaoke room and become a rock star for the evening. 2895 Olentangy River Rd., 614/784-0888.
Best Vintage Buys
"Thrifting" has become a pop-culture phenomenon of the retail world, but take a trip to Athens Underground and you'll find yourself in the creme de la creme of thrift stores. This shop separates its vintage apparel by decade and offers additional finds such as hats, books, postcards and household items. Whether you're looking for a groovy costume or an eccentric item to add to your wardrobe, you'll probably find it here. 90 N. Court St., Athens, 740/592-6286.
Best Winter Treat for Art Lovers
"Andrew Wyeth Watercolors and Drawings," a selection from the Marunuma Collection in Japan, opens at the Cincinnati Art Museum on February 3 and runs through May 6. 953 Eden Park Drive, 513/721-2787, www.cincinnatiARTmuseum.org.
Best Place to Tell Ghost Stories
They say her blood still stains the floor of the insane asylum's attic where she died alone. Some say she even comes back to haunt this very spot. You're likely to hear this story and more if you dare to trek up to The Ridges in Athens, which looms over the Hocking River. In the town of Halloween, where ghost stories run rampant, the abandoned tuberculosis ward and unmarked graves of this former mental hospital offer thrills to college students and town folk alike.
< Best Gourmet Destination
Jean-Robert at Pigall's in Cincinnati, featuring the fare of chef Jean-Robert de Cavel, is the state's only Mobil four-star restaurant. Jean-Robert's serves three-course dinners that begin at $74, but lunch (served Thursdays and Fridays only) can be had for a more modest $28. A sample entree: buffalo shank ravioli with rutabaga, velvet piopini mushrooms, sherry sauce and Parmesan cream. 127 W. Fourth St., 513/721-1345, www.jean-robertatpigalls.com.
Best Underwater Adventure
Lake Erie is home to some of the most fascinating shipwrecks in the Great Lakes. For a price and with a little training, shipwreck buffs can explore them by contacting Discovery Dive Charters & Tours, Inc. at Wildwood Marina in Cleveland. Most of the wrecks are intact and naturally preserved, because the fresh water keeps the ships from corroding. The company encourages recreational divers of all levels to take the plunge. 16975 Wildwood Dr., Cleveland, 216/481-5771.
Best Healthy Treat
Attention veggie lovers: Check out the extensive salad bar found at Ingredients (some assembly required), a new restaurant fronting the recently renovated Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati. Choose from exotic toppings that range from roasted eggplant and hearts of palm to grilled salmon and shrimp, then add vinaigrettes such as sesame ginger or roasted garlic, or try the lemon avocado dressing. All this, and a view, too. 21 E. Fifth St., 513/852-2740, www.ingredientsforyou.com.
Best Transformation of a Parking Lot >
The Toledo Museum of Art's new Glass Pavilion is a stunning jewel box encasing a world-renowned glass collection. The building's site, directly across the street from the main museum building, was formerly a surface lot for visitors. Now, glass-walled galleries house works ranging from a Dale Chihuly chandelier to an exquisite cut-glass Libbey punch bowl and glass artifacts from ancient times. At the center of the structure is a working hot shop where artists create glittering objects throughout the day. 2445 Monroe St., Toledo, 419/255-8000, www.toledomuseum.org.
Best Way to Dress Up a Wall
Wouldn't it be terrific to instantly fill vacant storefronts with thriving retail? A business association in College Hill, just north of Cincinnati, is doing just that. As part of a "fantasy business" public art project titled Discover the Avenue, the organization is commissioning storefront murals that depict the kinds of businesses that residents have said they want to see in the neighborhood. The first, a fantasy ice cream shop painted by artist Katie St. Clair, premiered in November. 5838 Hamilton Ave., 513/588-6465.
Best Old-Time Shake Shop
The Main Street Soda Grill is right in the center of downtown Vermilion at 5502 Liberty Avenue. It's a quaint, friendly, old-fashioned soda shop from the 1930s that features delicious handmade shakes, malts, egg cremes and yummy phosphates that are pure vintage and a wonderfully cool blast from the past. The atmosphere is completed by shelves crammed with snappy 1950s artifacts. 440/967-4002.
Best Path of Patriotism
Politics may divide us, but the pride stirred by the sight of our nation's strongest symbol is where all Americans achieve common ground. Which is why, with 500 sets of stars and stripes swaying high, the Boulevard of 500 Flags in Eastlake is possibly the most patriotic path you will ever walk. This powerful tribute is the largest permanent exhibit of its kind in the United States, and represents the city's residents who have served in wartime. 35150 Lake Shore Blvd. (at the Eastlake City Hall), 440/951-1416. www.eastlakeohio.com.
< Best Flighty Concept
The new Tri-State Warbird Museum features a P-51D Mustang, an AT-6D Texas trainer, a TBM-3 Avenger torpedo bomber, a twin-engine B-25 Mitchell bomber, a Corsair fighter and more. Also on display: an English barracks resembling something out of "12 O'Clock High."
The museum is located at the Clermont County Airport in Batavia. 513/735-4500, www.tri-statewarbirdmuseum.org.
Best Private Public Space
Alms Park sits high above Cincinnati in Mt. Lookout, protected by a canopy of trees. Nature lovers can hike and observe panoramic views of downtown, Kentucky, and the Little Miami and Ohio rivers, while those who seek solitude can read in the Renaissance-inspired pavilion. History buffs will appreciate the remains of a pre-Civil War wine cellar and the knowledge that the park was a Native American hideout. But the real beauty of Alms lies in its privacy - because more accessible parks surround it, fewer people venture there. 710 Tusculum Ave., www.cincinnati-oh.gov/parks/.
Best Oasis of Green
It's hard to imagine anything good blossoming from the cold, hard ground where two children lost their lives. In 2005, Brandon Davis, 11, and Lennard Pinson, 16, were shot in a vacant lot on Cleveland's east side - victims of both the killers' bullets and of the poverty that has bred such violent crimes. But this May, the lot will become The Lonnie Burten Learning Garden, courtesy of the Cleveland Botanical Garden's Green Corps program, which teaches horticultural knowledge and provides jobs to local teens. At-risk youth become entrepreneurs by growing crops in this living classroom, producing food products and marketing them to the public. It will be the third such garden CBG has created in Cleveland, sprouting promise in a spot once steeped in pain. Near the Lonnie Burten Recreation Center, 2511 E. 46th St., Cleveland.
Best Place to See How Geology Works >
Some places on the Earth's surface make it easy, simple and fun to see and understand the forces that shaped our world. Take, for instance, the rugged Glacial Grooves on the north side of Kelleys Island in Lake Erie, which are billed as the biggest such formation in the world that's easily visited. The limestone bedrock was scarred some 18,000 years ago by the massive Ice Age glaciers that carved up so much of Ohio. Today you can see gouges that are 400 feet long, 35 feet wide and up to 10 feet deep. There are fossils to be seen, but don't fall in!
Best Place to Get Your Greens
Our fast-food nation could learn a thing or two at Veggie U in Milan. Already purveyors of naturally grown produce and herbs, The Chef's Garden and Culinary Vegetable Institute founded Veggie U to teach kids about healthy eating habits, with fourth-graders as its target. Top chefs from around the country come in for classes and activities to help Veggie U change the way the world eats, one fourth-grader at a time. 419/499-7500, www.veggieu.org.
Best Bike Ride
You can break out the bike anyplace in the state, of course, but we think you'll have the most fun, the finest scenery and the straightest shot along the Little Miami Scenic River Bikeway, which runs almost from Cincinnati to Columbus, some 70 miles through lovely countryside with convenience stations all along the route. We especially like the 10-mile stretch between Xenia and Yellow Springs, picturesque on both ends and delightful the whole way in between. www.miamivalleytrails.org/miami.htm.
Best Edgy Art Fest
Cincinnati's 20/20 Festival likens itself to "a Spoleto on steroids." The 20 days and 20 nights of artsy, irreverent and fringe fun takes place at dozens of different stages, museums, galleries, clubs and parks. The early autumn fest features anything from wild performance art and hip poetry parties to sexy Latin jazz and raucous Polynesian Goth dancing (don't ask). 513/621-4700. www.20days20nights.com.
Best Magic Act
The private magic museum, Salon de Magie, run by Loveland collector Ken Klosterman, houses thousands of tricks, illusions, hidden passageways, secret rooms and the complete library of Harry Houdini. The best way to wrangle an invite? Get involved in Klosterman's annual "Abracadabra!" fund-raiser for Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park, which features a week of magic shows. Presto, chango! www.salondemagie.com.
Best Bite of Nostalgia
Once the darling of dessert tables, the bundt cake relinquished its spot years ago to give other confections their 15 minutes. But Joyce Wells, owner of the Eatmor Bundt Company in Mansfield, is out to bring bundt back. With her never-ending selection, including cinna-bundts, buckeye bundts and double chocolate chunk bundts, plus her willingness to custom create, we sense a comeback. Did we mention she ships? 105 N. Main St., 419/525-2868, www.eatmorbundt.com.
Best Museum Makeover >
The Akron Art Museum has come a long way from its humble beginnings in the basement of the public library in 1922. The museum's new facility, scheduled to open this summer, boasts more than 21,000 square feet of indoor exhibit space and a design by world-renowned architecture firm, Coop Himmelb(l)au. Amenities include high-tech classrooms, a children's gallery, a museum gift shop and a cafe.
70 E. Market St., Akron, 330/376-9185.
Best Place to Channel Your Inner Child
Ah, those culinary memories of our youth: slurping on bowls of pastel-colored cereal at breakfast, slicing into hunks of mom's homemade meatloaf at dinner. For those eager to relive tasty childhood experiences, Melt in Lakewood specializes in the lunchtime fare that we all clamored for as kids: the grilled-cheese sandwich. This "Bar and Grilled" offers plenty of creative spin-offs of the traditional meal, including the "Wake & Bacon," which adds a fried egg and bacon strips to the sandwich. However, purists appreciate "The Kindergarten": your favorite melted cheeses oozing from between two thick slices of hearty white Italian bread. 14718 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, 216/226-3699, www.meltbarandgrilled.com.
Best Place to Make a Scene
Downtown Cleveland, which has a starring role in the Tobey Maguire-Kirsten Dunst movie, "Spider-Man 3." The Euclid Avenue streetscape served as the setting for a range of action-packed stunts, including car chases and fiery crashes that left passersby agog and the city ready for yet another close-up. The movie is scheduled to open in theaters May 4.
< Best Wild Ride
Leave it to Cedar Point to reach new heights - or should we say a new frontier? - when the amusement park's 17th roller coaster, Maverick, debuts in May. The ultra-sleek coaster doesn't waste any time giving riders a thrill: Passengers ascend that first heart-stopping 105-foot-high hill ... and then plummet down to Earth at a 95-degree angle at speeds of up to 57 mph. They come within five feet of the ground before twisting around hairpin turns that are most definitely not for the faint of heart. One Cedar Point Dr., Sandusky, 419/627-2350, www.cedarpoint.com.
Best Offbeat Memorial
Ohio is dotted with memorials to long-forgotten and often unusual historical happenings. One of the oddest, however, must be the monument in Gallipolis to a disease. In City Park downtown, not far from the Ohio River, there is a tall stone and metal memorial to the lethal outbreak of yellow fever in the city in 1878. The plague was transmitted by passengers on a steamboat that just happened to break down in Gallipolis. Plaques at the site bear the names of the local dead - and topping the monument, weirdest of all, is the actual engine piece that broke, causing the ill-fated stop.
Best Port Stroll
Spending an afternoon in the small, pretty city of Vermilion is a fine thing - there's the Great Lakes Museum, a lively downtown, a dandy little beach and lots to see and do. A leisurely stroll around the lakefront harbor, full of sailboats and other pleasurecraft, is a wonderful way to appreciate Lake Erie's beauty. In the area known as Harbour Town 1837, you'll find antiques shops, bed-and-breakfasts, fine and casual dining, jewelry and specialty shops, chocolates, an art gallery and lots of history. Public docks make the spot boat-accessible, too. www.vermilionohio.com.

Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Art lovers of all ages as well as several East Cooper artists will make their way to Lake City from April 19 – 28 for ArtFields, the largest arts competition of its kind in the Southeast. This 10-day epic Southern artfest will feature a wide variety of art events, including an art competition, workshops, lectures, talks, public art and more. Most events are free, and ticketed experiences are generally priced $5 or $10 per person.
The full calendar may be found at http://www.artfieldssc.org/attendees/events/.
The spotlight will be on 400 pieces of two- and three-dimensional artwork selected from artists in 11 Southeastern states. These original works will be exhibited in more than 40 downtown businesses and other venues during the ten days of ArtFields. Competition artists are vying for $100,000 in total cash prizes. A special twist: attendees vote for their favorite to determine the $25,000 People's Choice Award, which also factors into the $50,000 Top Prize.
In addition to the art competition, other events scheduled for the 10 days include:
• Artist Lecture with Dr. Leo Twiggs
• Conversation with Jonathan Green and Mary Whyte moderated by Angela Mack
• Artist Talks with Installation Artists of the Carolinas
• Public Art
• Installation Art of the Carolinas created by Jonathan Brilliant, Jarod Charzewski, Jocelyn Châteauvert and Herb Parker
• "Before I Die" Wall allows the public to share their hopes and dreams on a chalkboard in a public space in downtown Lake City
• Mini Cine, a mobile movie theatre set inside a refurbished shipping container playing art documentaries and short films by independent filmmakers
• Community mural led by muralists from North and South Carolina
• Artfields Portrait Contest with local farmers as the subjects is a high-speed, high-stakes paint-off. The best in show will receive $1,000!
• Art workshops (ticketed) in Plein air painting and screen printing
• Screen Printing Café guests will be the curator of their own merchandise.
• Live Painting on The Green
• ArtFields After-Dark: Exquisite Corpse Featuring DJ Rocky Horror (ticketed/age 21 and over) which invites attendees to take part in an interactive art project.
• Special ticket events, including a Farm to Fork Dinner and a Gospel Lunch at The Market
In addition to the officially-sponsored events, ArtFields will also feature concerts and live music — including performances from New Orleans' own Rebirth Brass Band and musicians from across the Southeast — a farmers' and artisans' market and al fresco food options from food trucks.
The genesis of ArtFields is contained within the name and the town's rich history of cultivating strawberries, beans and other staples of South Carolina's agriculture. Now, ArtFields is serving as a fertile field for the cultivation of art and culture in one of South Carolina's oldest communities, thanks to the generosity of local sponsors, including the Patron of the Arts IGA.
For information on sponsorship or participation opportunities, contact ArtFields at 843.374.0180 or email@example.com. For more information on art activities, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

FIGS, or "Freshman Idiot Guy Syndrome," refers to the tendency of freshman guys to approach girls under the guise that they are interested in them, but later admit that they would rather have random, meaningless hook-ups than relationships with substance. Idiots. (note: FIGS can be used both to describe the syndrome and the guys suffering from the syndrome).
I'm so sick of all these FIGS that are so desperate to hook-up that they'll fuck anything that moves.

Product Description
Wireless ePay Application for Smart Phones
Wireless ePay allows your retail merchants to process directly from their existing mobile phone with their existing cellular carrier. Merchants are no longer forced to buy an additional cellular device or expensive mobile terminal and then sign up for additional cellular service to process transactions wirelessly. With the Wireless ePay program your merchants use the phone they are already comfortable with and use the service provider which they know will work best for their business needs.
The ability to use your existing phone and provider is only one of the many benefits that retail merchants experience when on the Wireless ePay program. With all the retail transactions being passed through the USA ePay payment gateway, merchants are able to view detailed reports, as well as graphs and charts of all transactions for the life of the account. Merchants can also email, download and export their transaction reports. Whether the merchant needs to import their transactions into Quicken, or generate a report of all sales with or without tax for the year, week, or day, they can with the payment gateway. These are all features and benefits that wireless retail merchants would and could not find in a typical, stand-alone, wireless machine.
iPhone and iPod Touch
With over 25 million iPhone and iPod Touch devices being used in the United States alone it only made sense for Wireless ePay to dive into the Apple market. Presenting the PaySaber, an all-in-one credit card processing point of sale device which works with the iPhone and iPod Touch. Certified with Apple to provide the best in quality for processing through your iPhone or iPod Touch. The PaySaber is the only device in market that has a built-in thermal receipt printer and barcode scanner; allowing the device to perform as a full point-of-sale register in retail and wireless environments.
Start Right Away
Do you have an iPhone already? Are you using an iPod Touch for games, music and email? Then pull either one of those devices out right now and download the USAePay application for free, right now. Available in the Apple App Store, the USAePay Point of Sale Credit Card Terminal Application is the key factor behind the PaySaber system. While there are other applications that allow you to process credit cards through your iPhone or iPod Touch it is the USAePay application which works with (and can work without) the PaySaber.
Other Popular Phones Are Credit Card Machines Too
The most popular phones on the market can now be your merchant's credit card machine. Merchants using Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Android or Palm mobile devices (just to name a few) can easily load the Wireless ePay program onto the phone and turn it into a credit card machine. To see a list of all known compatible phones please click here.
W-ePay SC-40 Device
It's a swiper, it's a printer, it works on Bluetooth and it works with a serial connection; it's the W-ePay SC-40 device. This proprietary device is what helps us transform your phone into a full-fledged credit card machine. The device connects to your phone (via Bluetooth), accepts magnetic swipes and prints receipts when processing transactions.
The device is not phone dependent, which means merchants can switch between phones and the device can still be used to process their transactions.
Easy-to-Use Interface
The Wireless ePay software was written with easy-of-use in mind. The easy select-and-click interface allows merchants to quickly and easily process any form of transaction without problems. The software also allows merchants to do "quick void" transactions, view previous transaction records, re-print receipts and more.

WBB Loses Tough Overtime Game To MAC Leader CMU
MUNCIE, Ind. – Despite holding a 15-point lead with 5:26 to play in the game, the Ball State women's basketball team suffered an 84-81 overtime loss to Mid-American Conference leader Central Michigan at Worthen Arena Thursday night.
With the loss, Ball State falls to 9-12 overall and 4-6 in the MAC, while the Chippewas improved to 14-8 in all games and 10-0 in league play.
In a game where the lead changed four times and the score was tied five times, Nathalie Fontaine's 23 points was not enough to lead the Cardinals to victory.
The Cardinals carried their first half momentum into the second half with its largest cushion being 19 (47-28) at the 18:35 mark. Central Michigan then answered with a 19-8 run to make the score 55-47 with 11:54 remaining in the game.
With 8:56 left to play, Ball State regained control with three pointers from Jill Morrison and Brittany Carter to put the Cardinals back up by 12 (61-49) but Central Michigan continued to claw its way back into the game to come within two (68-66) with 1:03 left on the clock after Crystal Bradford knocked down a three for the Chippewas. After a Ball State turnover, Da'Jurie Turner would hit a layup to tie the game at 68-68 to send the game into overtime.
In the overtime, the Cardinals tied the game at 73-73 with 2:50 to play on a pair of Fontaine free throws. A layup from Shelbie Justice would tie the game at 75-75 with 2:22 remaining, but the Chippewas would lead for the remainder of the game and claim the 84-81 win.
Ball State dominated the first half of the game and led 40-28 at the half. The Cardinals managed 14 second chance points in the first period and limited CMU's high-powered offense to 33 percent shooting from the field.
Justice ended the contest with 10 points and 12 rebounds, while Woody added 14 points, six rebounds and three assists.
The Ball State women's basketball team continues MAC action on the road Sunday at Northern Illinois. Tipoff is at 2 p.m. (EST) in the Convocation Center.

"I think that's why our relationship is so special – we truly started as friends," says Longoria, 38, who met Arguello, 34, last year when he was cast in Ready For Love, the reality dating show she produced. (Arguello's romance with his pick, former Miss USA Shandi Finnessey, ended in 2012.)
While the show aired this spring, buzz swept Hollywood that the two were an item. However, it wasn't until recently that their friendship turned romantic.
"I guess we have the press to thank for pushing us to see something we didn't see!" jokes Longoria, who just returned home from a trip to Nicaragua where she was introduced to his entire family.
"Eva and Ernesto are a perfect match," a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE. "They both speak Spanish, have the same religion and the same cultural background."
And both have a passion for philanthropy. Longoria recently accompanied Arguello to his native country of Honduras to visit the school he built in his community, and to see the homes he has built for impoverished families.
"Their friendship and their similar philanthropic interests laid the foundation for their new romance," the source adds. "They're very much in love."
