The Stetson Hatters needed a victory on Sunday in the series finale against Saint Joseph's, and style was not something that mattered.
The Hatters got their first win of the season in walk-off fashion when sophomore Tanner Blackman laced a single to right with one out in the ninth to score Kevin Fagan from second, just ahead of the throw home. The 7-6 victory over the Hawks helped Stetson avoid a season-opening sweep at Melching Field.
"I can't remember ever being so happy to get one out of three," Hatters head coach Pete Dunn said. "When you are 0-2, if you can get that third one you have to happy. We did a lot of things well today, but we also did a lot of things not so well."
Two of the main things the Hatters struggled with in the game was in getting down sacrifice bunts and fielding basic pop flies in the infield. Mistakes in the infield resulted in the Hawks scoring two runs in the fifth inning to tie the game. The inability to get down a bunt bit the Hatters more than one, and was also a factor in the ninth inning.
"If we can't improve our bunting game, which we will, we won't win many games," Dunn said. "We didn't play real well, but we got the win and that is a start. Sometimes you need that ugly win. We needed a win, and it didn't matter if it was ugly or pretty. As a coach, you want to get that pretty win, but we needed a win today. It was an ugly win, but it was a win."
The Hatters winning rally in the ninth started when Garrett Russini drew a walk from junior left-hander Steven Schuler (0-1), the fifth St. Joe's pitcher of the game. Freshman Kevin Fagan, who had started the first two games of the series, but came on in the fifth as a pinch hitter and worked the ninth inning on the mound, tried to get down a bunt to move Russini into scoring position, but was unsuccessful, getting his catcher thrown out at second base on the sacrifice attempt.
Mike Fernland followed with a chop infield hit to third base, bringing Blackman to the plate with two runners on and one out.
Like Fagan, Blackman did not start the game. He came on to play left-field in the fifth inning after starter Kyle Zech was pinch hit for in the fourth. Until his at bat in the ninth, the leadoff spot in the Stetson lineup was 0-for-5 with four strikeouts. Blackman fell behind early in the count, but got a pitch he could handle and smacked a solid line single to right.
"We knew he would start me off with a fastball and I had the green light to be aggressive," Blackman said. "I fouled off the first pitch and Coach Dunn always preaches to us about battling with two strikes. I got a pitch up over the outer half of the plate and just went with it to right field, which is what we are taught to do."
Fagan (1-0) earned the victory for the Hatters in relief. He was the fifth Stetson pitcher of the day, and the fourth freshman to follow just starter Cameron Griffin.
"I know Cam had the one bad inning, but I think we can really build on that start with him," Dunn said. "After that, we had four freshman in there, and that is encouraging because all of them pitched well. We got some good performances out of those freshmen."
Griffin surrendered four runs in his three-plus innings of work. Three of those runs came in the fourth inning right after the Hatters put a three-spot on the board to take a 4-1 lead.
"I told him that after we put that three spot on the board he has to go out there and shut them down," Dunn said. "He didn't do that and let them come right back. That is point that has to be made to all of our pitchers. We would have all liked to have seen him get out of that one inning, but he made some good pitches and threw the ball pretty well. It was a pretty good start for him."
Griffin was followed on the mound by Adam Schaly, Josh Thorne, Brandon Diaz and Fagan. Only Schaly allowed any runs, and both were unearned in the fifth inning as the result of an error when Carlos Garmendia dropped a popup at third base that would have been the final out of the inning.
"I think we have to work on catching popups and on fly ball communication," Dunn said. "That was a ball that Schaly probably should have caught, but I think Carlos called him off. They capitalized when we dropped that fly ball with two outs and scored two."
The Hawks capitalized when Mike Muha blasted a ball deep into the right-field corner after the error. James Rasmussen went after it, but was unable to make a play and Muha circled the bases for an inside-the-park homer when the Hatters tried to track down the loose ball.
The other big hit in the game for Saint Joseph's was a bases-loaded triple by Greg Kumpel in the fourth inning that ended the day for Griffin.
The Hatters were able to get some runs on the board early on Sunday. Fernland singled in Garmendia in the second and then Stetson scored three times in the third off Hawks starter Daniel Thorpe with a pair of singles, a hit batter, a wild pitch, a sacrifice bunt and a double-play grounder.
Stetson scored twice more in the fifth inning with the help of a pair of walks and an error by the Hawks.
The Hatters will have a short week to get ready for their next series. Maine (0-3) will visit for a three-game series starting on Thursday night after getting swept at Auburn this weekend.
"I know Maine is going to be good," Dunn said. "The last time they were in here they were good and Coach (Steve) Trimper does a good job with them.
"Saint Joseph's certainly didn't play like they were right out of the gym. We played like we had been in a gym and they had been outside. Now Maine will come in here after playing at Auburn, so it won't be their first time out. I am sure they will be better in their second weekend. We have to make sure that we get a lot better."

As Allah commands, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will never shed blood
Many events involving politics and across the world ever since the 1980s have been taking place in line with the systems of the Mahdi and the Messiah. Since 1980 (Hijri 1400) the Islamic world has been awaiting the explicit coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as foretold in the hadiths of our Prophet (saas), the verses of the Qur'an and statements by great Islamic scholars. In the light of information in the Torah and the Gospels, these same dates are when the Jews await the coming of the King Messiah [in other words, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] and Christians the return of the Prophet Jesus (pbuh).
To date, and particularly involving certain evangelicals and misinformed Muslims, a most mistaken policy has been followed due to a belief that the movements of the Mahdi and the Messiah will shed blood and that there will be a great battle between Muslims and the People of the Book. The role of evangelicals in American foreign policy in particular led to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan in the time of the previous U.S. administration and to the shedding of the blood of millions of innocent Muslims as well as Europeans and Americans. Some evangelicals, Christians belonging to various denominations and a number of Jews, albeit a very low one, believe that this bloodshed will grow and intensify and foresee a great battle between Muslims and the People of the Book. The way that some people with low levels of knowledge in the Islamic world depict Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) as someone who will shed blood and ruthlessly slaughter Shiites, Wahabbists, Jews and Christians will obviously further encourage such expectations.
The fact is, however, that EVERYONE WHO EXPECTS BLOODSHED IN THE NEXT PART OF THE END TIMES ARE MAKING A SERIOUS ERROR. NEITHER THE PROPHET JESUS (pbuh) NOR HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh) WILL EVER SHED BLOOD. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY WILL CAUSE THE MORAL VALUES OF THE RELIGION TO PREVAIL WITH LOVE, AFFECTION, GENTLE WORDS AND COMPASSION. On this subject, evangelicals and those Muslims who regard the People of the Book as the enemy are seriously mistaken.
The command not to shed blood, is a command given to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) by our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), it is a strict directive. As the necessity of this command of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will never shed blood in any period of his life. Anyone who acts otherwise, that is anyone who sheds blood, in spite of the strict directive of our Prophet (saas) is definitely not the Mahdi (pbuh).
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will shed not one drop of blood and
will not awaken the sleeper
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is someone who avoids war, a man of peace. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will cause the moral values of the Qur'an to rule the world through love, not through war. The fact that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will bring about the rule of the moral values of the deen [the religion of Islam] through peace and love, which represents one of his main distinguishing features, is described as follows in the hadith:
People will seek refuge in the Mahdi (pbuh)as honey bees cluster around their sovereign. He will fill the world that was once full of cruelty, with justice. His justice will be as such that HE WILL NOT WAKE A SLEEPING PERSON NOT EVEN ONE DROP OF BLOOD IS SHED. The Earth will return to the age of happiness. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 29 and 48)
Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)will follow the way of the Prophet (saas). HE WILL NOT WAKE UP A SLEEPING PERSON OR NO BLOOD WILL BE SHED. (Portents of Doomsday, p. 163)
IN THE TIME OF [HAZRAT MAHDI (pbuh)] NO ONE WILL BE WOKEN UP FROM THEIR SLEEP OR HAVE A BLEEDING NOSE. (Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 44)
Those who swear allegiance to him [Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)] will swear allegiance between the Corner and the Maqam [near the Kaaba]. THEY WILL NOT WAKEN THE SLEEPER, AND THEY WILL NEVER SHED BLOOD. (Al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 24)
Our Prophet (saas) tells us that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will put an end to strife, war and conflict by waging an intellectual campaign against all these. We are told in hadith that in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) all weapons will fall silent and wars will come to an end, and that peace, love and justice will rule the world following the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh):
War (competents) will lay down its burden (arms and the like). (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
War (competents) put down their weighs [their weapons, etc.]. (Imam Sharani, Death-Doomsday-Hereafter and The Signs of the End Times, p. 496)
Enmity and hatred between people will cease… Like the cup fills with water, so will earth fill with peace... There will be religious unity. Nobody but Allah will be worshipped. War will put down its burden. (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
There will be no enmity left between any people. And all hostility, fighting, and envy will definitely disappear. (Imam Sharani, Death-Doomsday-Hereafter and The Signs of the End Times, p. 496)
The climate of peace at the time of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) in Judaic sources
An end to wars:
... In the last days... He [the Lord]... will settle disputes for many peoples... Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. (Isaiah, 2:2-4; Micah, 4:1-3)
I will take away the chariots from Ephraim and the war-horses from Jerusalem, and the battle bow will be broken... (Zechariah, 9:10)
And at that time [Hazrat Mahdi's (pbuh) time], there will be no hunger or war, no jealousy or rivalry... (Maimonides, Mishnah Torah, Laws of Kings 12:5)
... Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the land, so that all may lie down in safety. (Hosea, 2:18)
I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid... and no sword of war will go through your land. (Leviticus, 26:6)
An end to the arms race:
... Burn them [the weapons] up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears... They will use them for fuel... declares the Sovereign Lord. (Ezekiel, 39:9-10)
They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. (Isaiah, 2:4; Micah, 4:3)
An end to violence and terror:
They will neither harm nor destroy... (Isaiah, 11:9)
The meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace... (Psalms, 37:11)
"The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food... They will neither harm nor destroy..." says the Lord. (Isaiah, 65:25)
A climate of peace and security:
The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together, and a little child will lead them... The lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy... (Isaiah, 11:6-9)
They will live there in safety and will build houses and plant vineyards; they will live in safety... Then they will know that I am the Lord their God. (Ezekiel, 28:26)
Every man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, and no one will make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken... (Micah, 4:4)
... The people will be secure in their land... They will live in safety, and no one will make them afraid. (Ezekiel, 34:27-28)
The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest... How blessed you will be, sowing your seed by every stream, and letting your cattle and donkeys range free. (Isaiah, 32:17-18, 20)
... No one will make them afraid. (Zephaniah, 3:13)
They will not... bear children for calamity... (Isaiah, 65:23)

I am an outgoing womanizer who hides my intellect and insight unless its pertinent that I show it. I've been told I am a really fun drunk. I literally cant stand the sight of blood. It makes me dizzy and sometimes I faint. I also go out of my way to help others quite often.

GOP wants budget; Schumer warns they will get one
WASHINGTON - Democrats are looking to make new revenue part of the Senate's first budget in almost four years.
That budget will be released soon after the start of President Barack Obama's second term. Obama has pushed for a "balanced approach" to solving the nation's financial woes, including more tax revenue.
Republicans for years have complained bitterly that Senate Democrats last produced a comprehensive budget in 2009 and say that, if Obama and fellow Democrats want to borrow more money, they'll have to outline a spending plan.
Senate Democrats announced Sunday that they will oblige and produce a budget - but warned it will include higher taxes that Republicans oppose.

Hello everyone! My name is Elizabeth and I blog over at Broken Treasures. Let me tell you a little bit about myself :) I am wife to my best friend (who happens to be a youth pastor) which makes me a mentor to some younger women in our church. I am Mama to three beautiful children ages 5, 4 and almost 2. I have the privilege to stay at home with my children and homeschool my oldest. My passions are many (cooking, gardening, reading, blogging, etc.) but my biggest passion is scrapbooking! I have been an avid scrapbooker for as long as I can remember and absolutely love to preserve my memories this way.
I'm so excited to be posting here today, thrilled to "meet" you all via blog land and hope you will enjoy (as well as learn some new things) the scrapbook layout I have for you.
Let's get started!
The very first thing I do when I want to scrapbook a page is select my photos. These can be all of one event, one person, or a theme of some sort. I like to do pages of each of my children with a photo from each month for a One Year layout. Another thing I've done is gotten photos of my children in any given day and have titled the page "A day in the life of . . . " Or the obvious holidays, family photo shoots, birthdays, etc. work well too. Whatever the occasion, gather your photos first.
Then I look for a sketch that I love. These can be found in some great "how to books" like Cathy Zielske's Clean & Simple Scrapbooking or Jeanette Lynton's Magic (and other) books. I love these because you can take a sketch from the book and make it your own. Another great place to find sketches is in blog land :) Places like Sketchy Thursday, 52 Sketches and Splitcoasters offer great sketches weekly to play around with. Another thing I like to do is look at card making blogs like Mojo Monday and use the simple cards sketch to make a scrapbook layout. For the layout I'm showing you today I used a sketch from Jeanette's Book Magic.
Then I gather my materials. I often look for papers that coordinate with each other and with the photos I want to use. Lots of places sell kits that are great for this type of thing and I often use them to make my scrapbooking go faster!
CTMH Workshops on the Go
Keep in mind these kits come with various accessories (some even come with stamp sets!) but if you join a monthly club you often just get whatever they put together - you don't have a lot of choices and I know we all like choices :)
For this layout I used:
Magic How To Book
Cricut Cutting Machine (with the Art Philosophy Cartridge)
Fiskers Paper Cutter
Close To My Heart Papers, Stamps and Butterflies
Close To My Heart Mocha Opaques, Wood Buttons
Ink: Chocolate, Olive and New England Ivy
**Please note I have provided you with links to all the materials I used for this layout. I am a HUGE advocate of using what you have and getting the most out of the products you have on hand. I use mostly Close To My Heart products because it is what I love and what I have on hand.**
Once I have my photos, sketch and materials I begin to cut my papers to size. This is one of the things I like the best about Jeanette's How-To Books - the sizes of the paper is written out for you so there is no guess work. For this layout I chose two different patterned papers (A and B), a cardstock (C) and a base cardstock (the page I put all my papers, embellishments, and photos on).
I used my Cricut Machine to cut out several shapes for tags, a heart, tickets, rectangles and circles. Then I used my paper cutter to cut the dimensions that I needed for each of my patterned papers. I did change the sketch up a bit to fit the photos I choose but that is the freedom you have with using a sketch as a basis to start from.
Once I am done cutting my papers and before I begin pasting my photos and papers down I like to prep any and all embellishments that I am going to use. I personally love the distressed look and often use my distressing kit to sponge ink on the edges of all my papers. I feel like it really makes the elements stand out. I also threaded some paper through the holes of a kraft ready made border, put some patterned paper through the hole on the tags that I cut out and then pasted a button on the top to finish it off.
Then I stamped lines onto my tags so that I have a place to record 10 of the things I love about my husband (since this is the layout I am doing) and journal a little bit about the photos. Photos tell a story but I like to include my own journaling to finish off the story - make it complete if you will :)
The last thing I did before putting my layout together was make my flowers. I cut them out at 1 1/2 inch and 1 1/4 inch using the Cricut. Then I curled the edges with my piercing tool and pasted the smaller flower on top of the larger flower off center. To finish it off I put a medium mocha opaque in the center of a wood button and glued it to the center of the flower. You'll notice some of my own handwriting on the one photo as well. I don't like my handwriting but I do include it in almost every layout to give my children something to remember about me and I think it makes the layout a little more personal.
Now I am ready to past my photos and papers down
There is some ink smudging on my paper but not to worry it will get covered with photos and patterned papers. I use adhesive tape runners, glue sticks and 3D foam tape on my layouts. Glue dots work well too. I follow the sketch measurements and use my Versamat to make sure everything is exactly straight and just where I want it to be! Love this mat!! I actually need to get another one so I can put them side by side when doing my two page layouts.
I added some of my own pattern to the paper here with a pennant stamp from the Party Pennant stamp set.
I love how the stamps are crystal clear and are put onto a clear block so I can line them up to make my own design.
I added some opaques in between the diamonds that I stamped. A quick and simple tip is to use a piercing tool (or needle) to lift the gem off the packaging and then place it right where you want it to go. I love to do this with really small adhesive embellishments!
I take a ton of photos and often find it difficult to fit them all on to a scrapbook page. I recently discovered Flip Flaps and love them! It allows me to add more photos to my layout without sacrificing space on my page. They are self adhesive so I put them directly over my page protector where I want it to be, you can also punch a hole and slit in your page protector and then have it slide out of your paper that way.
With the flip flap closed
With the flip flap open!
I can add my journaling to the tags that I made and slip them behind my photo. I put adhesive on the bottom and both sides of my photo but left the top open so that I could create a "pocket" for my journaling but again not sacrifice space on my page.
A few detailed photos of my embellishments show how to cluster them. I usually use an odd number and put them on the layout so they create a visual triangle drawing the eye from the bottom of the left page up to the top of the right page then down to the bottom of the right page and back over to the left again.
Here is my finished layout . . .
The Left Side with the Flip Flap closed
The Left Side with the Flip Flap open
The Right Side
The whole 2-page Layout
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you enjoy this layout and have learned some simple tips for making your pages pop! Have fun preserving those memories and I hope you'll stop by Broken Treasures sometime and say "hi" :) Have a great week!

Firstly, the way back down leads through a forest path, the side snow walls of which provide extra safety, at the heart of the romantic winter wonderland surrounding the mountain; followed by an open ride to the village. And even if the ride is not a steep one all the way, all reach the bottom after a cool ride.... and that's a sure!

Knoll Textiles at Bard Graduate Center
Knoll Textiles at the Bard Graduate Center? Benjamin Marcus is a close friend and frequent interlocutor in all matters of art and culture. We'll banter at length on the nuances of typeface, the history of Roman architecture, the intimacy of a sketch. I haven't seen the show at Bard yet but am excited to, based on these photos and his essay. Certain colors here seem to indicate such Mid-Century trends as these: Color-Field painters, Brasilia, Space-Age Bachelor Pads, and my new favorite color-combo of ochre and magenta (the other being orange and grey). So, without further ado: Knoll Textiles at the Bard The amazing exhibit currently at the Bard Graduate Center on 86th Street, may be called "Knoll Textiles 1945 -2010", but as much as it is a history of the eponymous company's work at the forefront of 20th century furniture coverings, it is even more a testament to one woman's pioneering work in bringing upholstery into sync with the prevailing but under-served, modernist idiom. Florence Knoll, having worked alongside some of the Bauhaus masters, and in partnership with husband Hans Knoll, started the company's lines of seating by using men's suiting fabrics for their non-directional textures, perfectly appropriate to the fluid forms of postwar, machine-age, works. Like the individual designers she championed, (and, unusually for a manufacturer, gave credit to by name!), Knoll pushed the boundaries of inclusion of new technologies, like using parachute webbing or fiberglass casement as finish materials, and applying the industrial techniques of screen printing to ordinary plain weave cotton. By commissioning designers, most of them women, to bring their personal imaginations to bear, Knoll brought bright colorways and abstract forms to mass-produced furniture. But in a stroke of genius, she saw the appropriateness of intricate textures to the streamlined armatures they wrapped: warps of fine cotton with wefts of nubby wool, ("Crash"), rough irregular surfaces of thick, uneven yarns, saturated color underlays and close-but-still-contrasting color overlays ("Prestini") – such are the monuments in the canon of modern textile design we know so well, but may not be aware of where they originated. In one tour de force of process-happy exploration, ("Brigadoon"), a synthetic fabric was printed with base color, then embossed with a pattern of dots, and then run (twice) through a perforating machine to create layers of tiny holes. And by such tricks as employing patterns small in scale but with an overall effect when pleated into drapery that read large and bold, (as across an office building's curtain-wall of windows), Knoll took the fussy backwardness out of upholstery, and put textiles into the service of interior architecture. In the Bard's four floors of artifacts, seemingly every important step of progress is marked, literally, in flying colors. For anyone who has the least bit of curiosity to know the sources of our modern textile heritage, and experience the thrill of seeing some of design history's greatest glories unfold before your eyes, this illuminating and inspiring show – up through July 31 – is a must-see-now. — Benjamin MORE INFO: Knoll Textiles at Bard Graduate Center MORE ON THE KNOLL TEXTILES EXHIBIT ON APARTMENT THERAPY: • Knoll Textiles: Over Fifty Years of Women in Design Benjamin R.

Dear students:
Welcome Back! We are well into the spring semester, and even though the temperature is cold, we are excited about the many opportunities and activities that the staff in the Division of Student Affairs has in the works. The division's newly written strategic plan demonstrates our commitment to Marquette's Mission, and we are already putting the document into practice.
We know how hard you work during the week at your academics, so we have designed many programs and events that not only complement your studies, but also help you to balance out the rigors of academia. Check the Late Night Marquette calendar and weekend line-up for a listing of events going on both on and around campus. Programming in the residence halls is one way to keep busy while taking a break from your studies as well. Check with your RA for other offerings both within your residence hall and across the campus. And if you are seeking something more active, visit the Rec Plex or Rec Center (which has had some new additions over the break). Fitness classes and intramurals are a great way to meet people, connect with friends, and work toward a healthy lifestyle.
In addition to those opportunities to kick back and let off a little steam, we also seek to help you reflect upon your many experiences. Intercultural Engagement, part of the Office of Student Development, has put together a calendar of events for Pan-African Heritage Month (Feb. 1 -28), which includes ample opportunities for discussion and dialogue. The Connections and Callings series is another opportunity for you to explore your gifts and talents and see how they meet the world's needs. Campus Ministry offers retreats for students as well if you are looking to explore Ignatian spirituality.
Your physical and mental health are also important. This is cold and flu season, so be sure to dress appropriately for the weather, and if you are feeling under the weather, do not hesitate to visit Student Health Service. Getting back into the swing of campus life can certainly be challenging, so if you begin to feel overwhelmed in any way, I urge you to find someone with whom you can talk. Our Counseling Center is a great resource.
Take advantage of what this campus has to offer. I wish you the best this semester. Marquette is committed to your success.

The Kids Stay in the Picture
this wiki
Summary Edit
After the shock of Lily handing herself in, the Press is having a field day by bombarding the Penthouse with Papparazzi. And whilst Serena is used to the attention Lily is seen finding it too difficult and with both William and Rufus arguing it seems the only good thing happening to the family is the Modern Royalty photoshoot in which the Rhodes' have a picture.
But the Rhodes aren't the only ones having a picture taken, Raina has been asked as well as Chuck. (Although Blair and Nate haven't - an unexplained thing)
A week has gone by since Dan and Blair finally kissed. Blair has been hiding out in her bed since then, afraid to face what the kiss meant to her.
Meanwhile in the Loft Dan has offered the place to Eric whenever he needs it but when Eric quizzes him on why he hasn't offered the same to Serena who needs it as much as him Dan confesses to kissing Blair Waldorf only to have Eric ask him that question. "Do you like her?" Dan repeatedly rejects the idea. But when he mumbles something about how Blair smells nice, Eric calls Dan out, declaring "Man, you're ass backwards crushing on Blair Waldorf!"
Chuck has Epperly be his spy and get Blair to the photoshoot. Once there, Blair confesses to Epperly that she recently shared a "life changing" kiss with someone. Epperly immediately reports this to Chuck. He goes over to the Loft to see if Dan might know who Blair kissed. By the end of the conversation, Chuck realizes it was Dan. So then he calls Epperly and tells her to trick Dan into coming to the photoshoot.
Whilst all this has happened Lily's sister Carol and her daughter Charlie have both turned up. However nobody except Serena knows that Charlie has landed in the 'toxic' world of Manhattan and she offers to show her round her world for a day so that she can make up her mind whether she likes it or not.
However, Lily has been delivered some dissapointing news by this time - due to the scandal the Rhodes' portrait is off. And it's up to William to save the day as he thinks he can get the women of the family back onto the system again.
With both Blair and Dan off to the photoshoot Blair decides to pack her La Perla underwear. She is quizzed by Dorota who assumes it's for Dan especially when Blair says it's the kiss that has helped her make up her mind for good. Blair tells Dorota that the kiss supposedly made her realize she wanted to with Chuck.
Dan and Eric decide that when Dan is invited to the photoshoot it must be Blair who invited him, unaware of Chuck and Epperly's scheming.
Once at the photoshoot it becomes apparent something is wrong, Rufus is quick to judge William when it turns out the revised portrait is just Serena, Eric and their Dad. Charlie has gone missing after her mom found her and said that she was going home. But why? Well because Serena discovered that Carol had been living off CeCe's money all these years rather than being the estranged daughter she had pretended to be.
When Dan approaches Blair at the photoshoot, he discovers she wasn't the one who invited him. Blair is quick to figure out it was Chuck who set Dan up. She confronts Chuck, angry at him for trying to humiliate Dan, and he tells her he wanted to prove that Dan wasn't good enough for her. Chuck says he only did it because Blair said the kiss was life changing. Blair claims the kiss made her realize she wanted to be with Chuck. She said that the kiss with Dan had meant less than nothing and, while clearly upset by Blair saying that, Dan pretended to agree. Blair tells Chuck off and walks away.
Whilst this has been going on Vanessa has arrived at the photoshoot and much to Blair's annoyance won't leave even though she knows Serena and the van der Woodsens are at the shoot.
When Dan comes over to talk to Blair about the kiss Vanessa is listening in on his conversation and hears everything. Dan then tells Blair that the kiss meant nothing to him either even though he had already admitted to Eric he loved Blair. Dan tells Blair that her prince is somewhere even if it isn't him or Chuck, while looking over Dan's shoulder at Serena - tells Dan that his princess is out there too, he just needs to be ready for her. Dan looks back and sees his ex-girlfriend which gives Vanessa time to escape and call somebody.
She tells them that Dan and Blair kissed, they'll deny it but for once she is telling the truth because not even she could come up with a scandal this big.

The next day at the van der Woodsens Charlie tells Carol that she's staying in New York and Carol tells Lily she has to be kept an eye on for reasons she hasn't yet told anyone. Lily agrees and everyone sits down for their own family portrait everyone's there - except Chuck and Jenny both of whom happen to be elsewhere - and as the portrait is taken the phone rings. But Lily leaves it for another time because then, to her, family is most important.

Wrestling is the King of Sports and the Sport of Kings.
It's also the oldest sport in the world and the second oldest profession.
While that last line might elicit a laugh, what the International Olympic Committee did last week was far from funny.
In its infinite wisdom, the IOC shockingly dropped one of the earliest and purest sports from the 2020 Summer Games.
The unexpected move was made via secret ballot during a meeting Tuesday in Lausanne, Switzerland, where officials were discussing ways to streamline the Olympics.
The executive board, after reportedly reviewing comprehensive criteria that included TV ratings and fan interest, recommended that wrestling not be on the list of 25 core sports proposed for the 2020 Games.
The ill-advised and sharply criticized decision was nothing short of a travesty.
With the possible exception of track and field, wrestling is considered to be the oldest competitive sport. It made its first appearance at the ancient Olympic Games in 708 B.C. in Greece and has been a part of every modern Olympics since they began in 1896.
It's hard to imagine a sport that embodies the Olympic ideal more than wrestling.
The decision sent ripples throughout the tight-knit wrestling community — and beyond.
Pro wrestling star Kurt Angle, who won a gold medal for the United States in the 1996 Summer Games, was among the most stunned.
"I never thought in a million years they would drop a traditional sport like wrestling," Angle said. "Especially with the other sports that were being considered, and especially how competitive wrestling is worldwide."
Among those other sports was modern pentathlon — a five-event sport that includes fencing, horse riding and shooting.
Modern pentathlon had competitors from 26 countries in the London Olympics. Wrestling brought athletes from 71 countries to those Games.
Yet wrestling is dead, and pentathlon is alive?
Angle wondered how much politics played a role.
"The former IOC president's son was a pentathlete, and his son is on the committee," said Angle. "Badminton was also on the board, and I'm really surprised that they chose badminton over wrestling."
Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr., the son of the former IOC president, is vice president of the International Modern Pentathlon Union and a member of the IOC board.
Neither the sport of wrestling nor the U.S. Olympic Committee is represented on the 15-member executive panel.
Eight sports, including rock climbing, roller blading, wake boarding, squash and wushu (Chinese martial arts, for those like myself, who had no idea) are on the list of possibilities for the one sport that will be added in September. Recreational sports such as badminton, ping pong and handball remain.
None of these sports, of course, has the history of wrestling.
The U.S., which won two gold medals in the 2012 Games in London, is the most successful active nation in wrestling with 50 all-time gold medals and 125 overall.
Angle, noting that the U.S. has enjoyed its highest participation in wrestling since 1980, called the move "a slap in the face to Americans."
Also expressing shock and outrage over the decision was Atlanta Falcons record-setting receiver Roddy White, a two-time state wrestling champ at James Island High.
With its highly competitive nature and broad global appeal, wrestling seems like the perfect Olympic sport, says White.
"Wrestling's been around since the Olympics. Before they started introducing all these other sports, there was wrestling. To eliminate the oldest sport in the world is crazy."
The decision of the judges, though, is not final. They will meet again in May to discuss which events should be included in the 2020. They'll finalize the events in September.
White is hoping for a reversal and says it's a cause worth fighting for.
"I'm definitely going to get involved, and I'll try to get everybody on board. I need to get everybody's attention to where we can make a difference."
Dashed Olympic dreams
Angle, 44, said the decision affects him personally.
By age 26, Angle had achieved something only four people have ever managed to do. He won the Junior World Championship, NCAA Championship, World Championship and an Olympic gold medal.
Winning the gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Olympic Games was what he had worked for his entire life.
Making the feat even more remarkable was the fact that Angle, with two fractured cervical vertebrae, did it with a broken neck.
"Nobody can ever take my gold medal away from me," he says.
But Angle, currently one of the top stars in the pro ranks for TNA Impact Wrestling, is concerned about the effect that the decision could have on future generations of aspiring Olympic hopefuls.
"You think about the history, and what people are going to think 20 and 30 years from now. They're going to hear Kurt Angle was a gold medalist — but at what?"
Seventeen years have passed since Angle's Olympic glory and the dramatic image of the wrestler weeping after winning the gold.
"I think about all the wrestlers I looked at when I was growing up. I dreamed of going to the Olympics and winning a gold medal. I'm worried about all the youth today ... all these wrestlers who are joining programs and dreaming of winning a gold medal. Those dreams could be shattered by a decision where other sports that people really don't even care about are being picked over wrestling. It's crazy."
High school participation is on the rise. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations, high school wrestling had 280,384 participants in 2011-12, up from 265, 215 in 2007-08.
White also noted the mass appeal of the sport. Taking it away, he says, denies many aspiring athletes the chance to chase a dream.
"All these kids have a dream of one day making it to the Olympics and winning a gold medal. Even when I wrestled, that's what I thought about. I wanted to be an Olympic wrestler. I wanted to win a gold medal. These kids coming up today might not have that chance. Their dreams of winning an Olympic gold medal will be shattered."
Last year White took 10 wrestlers from his high school alma mater to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs as a guest of USA Wrestling. The trip was to link the benefits of wrestling to football.
"When you get to be around those guys and see what they do every day and how hard they go, it's impressive. They've been training the last three years just to get to this point."
White began wrestling in high school at only 112 pounds before maxing out at 189 as a senior. His NFL playing weight is 212.
"I wrestled before I played football. I thought I was going to be a wrestler who won state championships and eventually would make it to the next level. I had seen so many people in my family go out and win state titles. This is like a family tradition. This is what we do."
The Pro Bowl receiver says his football training pales in comparison to his time on the mat.
"I tell people to this day that football training is not even close to how hard I had to train to get ready for wrestling matches. Just to get ready for a six- or seven-minute match is grueling. Training camp — getting yourself ready and prepared for the whole season — is the hardest thing we do in football. You go to wrestling practice for two weeks, and it makes football look like a breeze."
Amateur wrestlers starve themselves to make weight, spend countless training for a match, and learn every hold and every escape.
"That's the thing about wrestling. It's one-on-one competition. You have to get yourself mentally and physically prepared for those 30 or 40 matches I had to wrestle in high school and in tournaments. We were running for days."
White says wrestling also is a great sport for discipline and it breeds toughness — two elements necessary in the NFL.
"I love wrestling,'' he says unabashedly.
And that includes the professional ranks.
White, nicknamed "Roddy" Roddy by ESPN's Chris Berman in reference to pro wrestling great "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, enjoys all aspects of the genre.
"I used to have a blast at all the (pro) shows," said White. "It's very entertaining. And you have to be in great shape to do what they do."
"That's what a lot of people don't understand ... just how grueling that sport is," he adds. "You have to prepare yourself for that grind and get yourself in shape to do all that stuff."
Shock and confusion
A growing number of fellow Olympians and pros have joined Angle in his opposition to last week's decision.
Olympic hero Rulan Gardner, who upset three-time Russian Olympic champion Alexander Karelin for Greco-Roman gold in the 2000 Sydney Games, then later lost a toe to frostbite after his snowmobile fell into an icy river, leaving him stranded for 18 hours, said he was saddened by the decision.
"It's the IOC trying to change the Olympics to make it more mainstream and more viewer-friendly instead of sticking to what they founded the Olympics on," said Gardner.
Cael Sanderson, 2004 Olympic champion and now the head coach at Penn State University, called the decision a "tragedy."
"It's the greatest event," Sanderson told USA Today. "It's the most prestigious and premier. It's the very top of the pyramid. It's the Super Bowl. It's only once every four years."
Dan Gable, the legendary wrestler and coach, added: "It's obviously one of my worst nightmares … Hopefully, it's a major wake-up call that we can work through."
A number of pro wrestling stars also took to Twitter to speak up against the move to exclude the iconic sport.
"Wrestling has been part of the Olympic Games since the beginning. It's a beautiful sport! But I guess shooting a gun or forcing a horse to jump over hedges is more of a sport than wrestling to the committee. This is not right," posted WWE world champion Alberto Del Rio.
"The Olympic committee should hang their heads in shame. Wrestling is the original Olympic sport," tweeted WWE's William Regal.
"We encourage our own Impact Wrestling community, WWE and wrestling organizations worldwide as well as competitive amateur coaches and athletes to have a unified voice to make sure wrestling will be an Olympic sport in 2020," said TNA president Dixie Carter.
"I'm so disgusted by it. I'm fired up," former WWE champ Jack Swagger told Sports Illustrated.
"It's no secret I wasn't the most athletic kid on the playground, but I went into it head over heels even though I wasn't good at it at first," recalled Swagger, a two-time All-American at Oklahoma. "It teaches you so much about life and that's what makes it the best sport. It teaches you discipline and dedication and how to work hard and how to sacrifice for your goals. Those are things you can apply to any area of your life, whether it's your education or your career. Honestly, it turned me into a man."
'Not over yet'
The decision, says Angle, could have an even bigger effect in other countries.
"I know we're not the only country upset about it. There are a lot of countries that depend on wrestling. Look at the Eastern European countries. They only have two or three sports, and one of them is wrestling. They're very good at it. Russia is a world power and has five million people in wrestling. I can only imagine how they feel right now."
The Olympic Games aren't just for sports superpowers.
Russia currently dominates the sport, but wrestlers from Japan, Turkey, Finland, Iran, Cuba and South Korea all won their country dozens of medals.
Like many of his peers, Angle has pledged to fight for a reversal. The move still needs to be voted on twice in order to become official. The final vote will take place at the IOC session, or general meeting, in September.
Hopefully, he says, the wave of criticism will continue to grow around the world.
"It's not over yet. They've still got a meeting in September. We just have to show why they have to keep it."
"I don't think wrestling is that difficult to finance for the Olympics," said White. "I've never seen any of these sports they want to add ... they don't even display them during the Olympics."
Wrestling, for the most part, also has avoided scandal, unlike other Olympic sports.
"It is pure," said Angle. "Very seldom do you ever hear about a wrestler in any kind of drug situation. Amateur wrestling has kept it pure. It's crazy that it happened this way. You hear a lot of stories about athletes who didn't pass the drug tests in the Olympics. They beat it, or they got caught. You hardly ever hear about a wrestler ... it's just not in wrestling. It's a pure sport."
Despite the chatter about mixed martial arts creeping into future Olympic consideration, Angle doesn't see it happening anytime soon.
"I believe that the popularity of wrestling has something to do with MMA. But I think MMA is a little too graphic for the Olympics. If it does happen, it's not going to happen in our lifetime.
You think about the IOC and protecting the athletes. Putting MMA in it would be pretty graphic with all its head trauma.
"I just don't want wrestling to turn into a sport like sambo or jiu-jitsu where it's just a club sport. Obviously that won't happen in the United States because we have a strong program. We have our own style of wrestling. But I'm looking at other countries. What are they going to do now?"
Angle believes the wrestling community may not have taken it seriously enough prior to last week's decision. He fears the Olympic Games may be watered down because of increasing commercialism.
"I believe we didn't fight hard enough. We didn't think it was going to happen. I think we thought they were putting us in there with five or six other sports, but it's not going to happen because wrestling is too pure and too competitive. And then the IOC — a bunch of dingbats — got together and, for some odd reason, wanted to take the oldest sport in the world away. It's like taking the hundred-meter dash away from track and field. It just doesn't make any sense."
A loud and aggressive response is expected from the international wrestling community.
In a statement issued in the wake of the decision, USA Wrestling executive director Rich Bender said, "We look forward to telling the story about wrestling to the International Committee leadership and the entire world … and why it should be part of the Olympic movement forever."
"I just never thought that this sport, with its history and what it's done for so many people, would have been dropped," says White. "You can go down a list of things that you can get rid of. This is one of the worst calls I've ever seen."
Angle is counting on a large contingent of supporters willing to do anything in their power to make sure their beloved sport continues its long and storied tradition in the Olympic games.
"I'm hoping to God we get it turned around and it'll be history and we don't have to worry about it," he says. "But it's going to take a lot of fighting up until September to get it done."
Angle said he will personally carry the torch to make sure wrestling remains a strong and viable sport in the Olympics.
"I'm going to keep fighting too. I'm going to do everything I can in my power to get people to get behind it and make these people realize that you can't take wrestling away from this world. There's just no way. It's too old, too pure and too traditional. That's what the Olympics are all about."

LOCKPORT – David J. Grover, the Town of Tonawanda man accused of taking a 5-year-old girl from her North Tonawanda home July 28 and sexually abusing her, rejected a plea bargain Thursday in Niagara County Court.
Grover, 34, was asked to plead guilty to kidnapping as a sexually motivated felony. If he were convicted of that at trial, the maximum penalty would be 25 years in prison, but Assistant Public Defender Michele G. Bergevin was looking for something shorter.
Asked if a sentencing commitment was offered, Bergevin said, "None that was acceptable."
Assistant District Attorney Robert A. Zucco said the plea offer is off the table and no further court appearances are planned before Grover's trial, which has been rescheduled for Feb. 4.

Buffalo performer and artist Pat Kewley is a collector of unintentionally funny bits and pieces of American culture.
For his popular "Celebrity Autobiography" series, held last summer in Rohall's Corner in Black Rock, he amassed a collection of celebrity memoirs and enlisted local performers to read particularly absurd sections. Kewley's impulse to collect also extends to cinema. Kewley will present the third version of "Trailer Trash," a collection of campy, cheesy and otherwise ridiculous film trailers, at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Squeaky Wheel (712 Main St.). The screening, he writes, will boast the "weirdest and wildest movie trailers from the golden age of exploitation movies – a time when film prints were scratchier, collars were wider and trailers were king."
The films cover "everything from blaxsploitation to women in prison, from acid-eating bikers to murderous nuns, and from aliens to ninjas to zombie-ninjas."
The screening is part of a week of activities sponsored by Sugar City, the itinerant art organization that has been hosting events around the city since it left its Allentown home last year. The week also includes its periodic Soul Night at 10 tonight in Milkie's (522 Elmwood Ave.) as well as a record-swap, comedy night and "Mystery Tour" that begins at 20 Auburn Ave. at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Caroline Carlton and Molly Locke combined for 29 kills for Mercer as the Bears defeated Stetson 3-0 (25-15, 25-20, 25-19) in an Atlantic Sun Conference match Saturday afternoon at the Edmunds Center.
Kaley Melville led the Hatters (4-24, 0-11 A-Sun) with nine kills, while Ellen Hawks and Cailyn Prewitt each added seven kills.
Mercer hit .394 as a team (47-8-99), as Carlton (.522) and Locke (.667) each posted attack percentages above .500.
"Mercer did what we expected, they played well, and unfortunately we failed to follow our gameplan," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "We did not block well, and we did not make good selections on who to set at certain times. That made it tough. But the girls played hard, they put up a good battle.
"I thought Kaley Melville, Ellen Hawks, and Cailyn Prewitt all did good some things for us," Loesch said. "We struggled passing at times today, but that was because Mercer was serving us tough, but we have to learn to handle that a bit better."
Kayla Weller recorded 16 assists, five digs and four aces for the Hatters. Monique Russell picked up 13 digs. Catherine Coston had three kills on four attempts for a .750 attack percentage.
"Kayla had a very good day serving, but no one else had any aces for us. That's great for her, but we need to have some other girls step up. That's kind of the story we have had all year. Three or four girls contribute, and the other ones struggle. But give credit to Mercer, they were more consistent, and they followed their gameplan better than we did."

Head & Shoulders Interview: 24 minutes with a scientist and a stylist
Head & Shoulders has recently launched a new range of Moisturising Scalp Care shampoo products, alternatively known as the Save our Scalps (SOS) range, and we were lucky enough to have a chat with two of the experts who worked on the new shampoo that promises to deliver healthy scalp in the worst climate conditions without messing up your locks.
Last night, we spent a good 24 minutes with P&G Ambassador and celebrity hairdresser Ben Skervin, who has worked with names like Ricky Martin, Sienna Miller, Madonna, Mariah Carey, and the Olsen Twins, and cosmetic product scientist Dr. Rene Rust, who works with P&G's Beauty and Grooming division.
We get down to the bottom of facing dandruff and the elements that cause it, and learn a few things about maintaining healthy scalp to achieve beautiful hair without any compromise.
Can you tell us more about the new Save Our Scalps range?
The new range of products has been designed to address the most common scalp needs of consumers around the world. As you know, Head & Shoulders has been around for 50 odd years, and essentially, we have always focused on the scalp care benefits of our products. But now, we've got the best efficacy we've ever had over the history of the brand.
At the same time, we've integrated a number of hair care benefits. I think that really is the big breakthrough that Head & Shoulders has achieved, because we've stepped away from just giving scalp care benefits to giving great hair care benefits as well.
This essentially means consumers don't have to make the choice anymore between having a healthy scalp and maintaining beautiful hair. The range now takes care both and they're not forced to make a decision of benefiting from just one area.
Is the new range going to be available globally?
Yes, we're currently launching globally. We're doing it at different timings but we're going across the globe.

Take a dash of Splash, a generous pinch of The Secret of Roan Inish, and a healthy portion of low-key and very effective Irish charm, and the result is Ondine, a sweet and frankly lovely little film from Neil Jordan. Best known for movies like Mona Lisa, The Crying Game, Interview with the Vampire, Michael Collins, and The Brave One, Jordan approaches his latest project as if it's a modern-day fairy tale -- while probably hoping that his audience is not too cynical to play along.
Colin Farrell stars (and excels) as a fisherman with a handicapped daughter, a dumpy trawler, and a history of alcoholism. But things take a turn for the weird once the lovely Ondine (Alicja Bachleda) pops up in one of Syracuse's fishing nets. At first he believes the stunning woman to be a figment of his imagination, but reality kicks in once his adorable but wheelchair-bound daughter Annie (Alison Barry) befriends the mysterious woman.
The wistful belief between Syracuse and Annie is that Ondine is a "Selkie," a creature sort of like a mermaid, but one beholden to an entirely different set of rules. (For a better definition of the "creature," see here.) Deep down they know it's a game ... but then why are Syracuse's fishing nets suddenly swollen with whoppers? How to explain the bizarre occurrences involving Syracuse's glum ex-wife and the overall "effect" that Ondine seems to have on men?
Ever the crafty veteran filmmakers, Jordan (who wrote as well as directed) leads you in one direction, only to throw a few unexpected surprises into the mix. Nothing all that brilliant, truth be told, but the plot curves (both the obvious ones and the unexpected) manage to keep Ondine from becoming too pat, predictable, or saccharine. Set in a small island town and populated by the earthy sorts found in films by Alan Parker or Jim Sheridan, Ondine plays out as an unapologetic Scottish/ Irish fable that just happens to take place in the real world. The success of the film hinges on Jordan not tipping his hand too far in one direction. Just when things get a bit too "fantastic," real life intervenes, often shockingly, and the two-headed nature of the narrative works surprisingly well.
It certainly doesn't hurt that this rather sweet flick comes complete with some stellar Christopher Doyle cinematography, a very fine score from newcomer Kjartan Sveinsson, an excellent low-key performance by Farrell, and the simply luminous presence of Ms. Bachleda. There's also some excellent support work from the likes of Stephen Rea, Tony Curran, and particularly Dervla Kirwan, as Syracuse's estranged (and troubled) ex-wife.
So while Ondine might make you think of Splash (for just a few minutes) or Roan Inish (here and there), Jordan does a fine job of making his own mark in the rarely-tapped "mermaid fantasy movie" market. One might think that Neil Jordan is "taking it easy" after a career filled with both indie-style successes and movie star hits -- but if that's the case then I say he should keep taking it easy -- because Ondine may be one of the best films Neil Jordan has made yet.
