The dead bird, color of a bruise,
and smaller than an eye
swollen shut,
is king among omens.
Who can blame the ants for feasting?
Let him cast the first crumb.
We once tended the oracles.
Now we rely on a photograph
a fingerprint
a hand we never saw
A man draws a chalk outline
first in his mind
around nothing
then around the body
of another man.
He does this without thinking.
What can I do about the white room I left
behind? What can I do about the great stones
I walk among now? What can I do
but sing.
Even a small cut can sing all day.
There are entire nights
I would take back.
Nostalgia is a thin moon,
into a sky like cold,
unfeeling iron.
I dreamed
you were a drowned man, crown
of phosphorescent, seaweed in your hair,
water in your shoes. I woke up desperate
for air.
In another dream, I was a field
and you combed through me
searching for something
you only thought you had lost.
What have we left at the altar of sorrow?
What blessed thing will we leave tomorrow?

Theme for English B
The instructor said, Go home and write a page tonight. And let that page come out of you— Then, it will be true. I wonder if it's that simple? I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem. I went to school there, then Durham, then here to this college on the hill above Harlem. I am the only colored student in my class. The steps from the hill lead down into Harlem, through a park, then I cross St. Nicholas, Eighth Avenue, Seventh, and I come to the Y, the Harlem Branch Y, where I take the elevator up to my room, sit down, and write this page: It's not easy to know what is true for you or me at twenty-two, my age. But I guess I'm what I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you: hear you, hear me—we two—you, me, talk on this page. (I hear New York, too.) Me—who? Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. I like to work, read, learn, and understand life. I like a pipe for a Christmas present, or records—Bessie, bop, or Bach. I guess being colored doesn't make me not like the same things other folks like who are other races. So will my page be colored that I write? Being me, it will not be white. But it will be a part of you, instructor. You are white— yet a part of me, as I am a part of you. That's American. Sometimes perhaps you don't want to be a part of me. Nor do I often want to be a part of you. But we are, that's true! As I learn from you, I guess you learn from me— although you're older—and white— and somewhat more free. This is my page for English B.

The first time I traveled without checking a bag, I was going to Hawaii, and the prospect of spending a week in 100-percent humidity without my favorite hair products was beyond stressful.

I had planned this trip to the Sherry Triangle for months, drawn to this corner of southwestern Spain to learn more about the sherry made in one of the world's top wine regions.
The Marco de Jerez, a.k.a. the Sherry Triangle, is bounded by the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María, about 90 minutes south of Seville and just 20 or so minutes apart.

- You need the effective love spell that really works for you?
- Have you tried other spell caster without getting any results?
- Your partner left you for someone else?
- Did you breakup with your partner?
- Other people are interfering with your relationship?
- You need him/ her to leave anyone else and remain with you forever?
Effective love spells that really work can help you to regain control of your lover's heart and permanently win it over making him/ her become yours only as long as you are still breathing. The spells of this nature are cast using the genuine spell casting rituals originally extracted from voodoo magic and black magic casting rituals.
We all well aware how tough life can be when you are having troubles in your relationships, but life can get tougher if you know that nothing you can do to make someone get back with you. But the use of magic spells have always been the sacred way of making someone you love stay with you as long as you want him/ her to be. The effective love spell can make anyone who is slowly drifting away from you to get closer instead and develop more love than ever before. The use of this love spell makes your spouse to realize the importance of being in relationship.
The effective love spells which are truly working can make anyone of your wish to madly fall in love with you and also give you more powers to be able to control that relationship. Because the effective love magic spells that truly work makes your partner to follow you wherever you go or listen to whatever you say like listening to his/ her master, this is a perfect love spell to cast on someone who has not been faithful to you or on someone who is having other affairs. The spell puts all that to end and make that person to be listening to whatever you have to say.
There is no body who can withstand the powers of the effective love spell cast using African voodoo love magic combined with black magic rituals. Using this love spell, you get to make someone feelings for you and whenever that person is way from, he/ she gets to feel unsettled until when he/ she gets to see you again. This a kind of love spell which will save you from being jilted by your partner but instead make that person to create you with more love and care.
Make Someone Desire You with All Their Heart
The effective love spells that really work makes your partner to never have feelings for someone else. Its looks his/ her love onto you using the voodoo and black magic love spells energies to create a bond which is unbreakable whatsoever. The love energies created by the spell are transformed into magic love bond which make your partners love for you to explode into relationship which is more joyous and fun making the couples to enjoy the company of one another.
Dr. Malkh uses the anciently ways of casting magic spells by combining black magic spell rituals and voodoo love magic rituals carefully cast to form the effective love magic spells that work instantly. His effective spells are always customized to reach the demands of his clients, and the only reason why all his love spells he casts succeeds without having any kind of delay.
Casting the effective love spells that work which on the other hands harmless to anyone involved is very huge priority when Dr. Malkh is casting any kind of love spell.
Many spell casters uses the dirt from graveyard to involve spirits in their magic spell work but that is not how Dr. Malkh does his spells. Instead of invoking spirits which can at anytime be volatile, he mastered the safest way of communicating with those spirits whereby when he employ them in any kind of love spell, Dr. Malkh stays in very close contact with those spirits and he get updated on each and every development taken through that process.
Make Your Lover Leave Someone Else and Get Back To You
Making someone whose heart is diverted from you to someone else while using Dr. Malkh's effective love spells that work is very simple thing to accomplish, due to the fact that he casts his spells with a very clear plan to transmit the love spells energy directly to your lover and then make that person's heart to be longing for you all time. He then uses those love spells energy to make your lover to completely forget about the other person and think or love only you.
To have a very strong and unshakable love bond with someone requires a little bit of magic because all relationships are at their best when love is still new but as time pass by, people tend to forget all the promises they made to one another and start to treat those who love them like nobody at all. You need something which will make the love bond between the two lovers indestructible. The effective love spells have been the best candidate to keep any kind of love bond interesting for ages.
Love is blind and unforgettable if you ever met someone you truly love but that doesn't stop someone from dumping you but you can still get that person back in your life no matter how many years have passed by. The effectiveness of Dr. Malkh's love spells don't stop on making someone to love you more but also it can also make someone you have not seen for a very long time to come back to you and restart where you ended before.
The effective love spells
The effective love spell is valued by the accuracy when solving any kind of problem and it is that spell casters responsibility to make sure that the spell works as it is required by the client which is why Dr. Malkh waste no time to cast a spell that works instantly. You might find many people tempting to cast love spells but with any breakthrough. But the fact that Dr. Malkh is dedicated and a third generational love magic spell caster whose magic casting knowledge was passed on to him by his forefather is very crucial in his love spells casting abilities.
Casting magic spells is the only thing Dr. Malkh knows and the results for his clients is so important to him therefore, if you need the effective love spells caster you can trust, Dr. Malkh is your man.

Randy Knorr/Matt Williams Top Two Candidates To Replace Johnson
Matt Williams is still considered the leading candidate to take over for Davey Johnson as Nationals manager, if the team hires from outside the organization.
But will the Nationals look outside?
It's no longer a given that they will, and people who speak regularly with Nationals management now believe bench coach Randy Knorr also has a strong chance to get the job. Knorr is said to have strong support within the organization, and a few Nationals players have also spoke out recently suggesting they'd like to see him get the job.

Why saving money is for idiots
by Virgil Texas on February 21, 2014
These days it seems you can't surf the Web without running into some self-proclaimed "finance guru" peddling easy, painless answers for complex money problems. These shysters are always going on about "saving money" and "planning for the future" while your bank account gets drained buying their expensive ebooks and PDFs. Well, you can throw their books in the book trash, because I have discovered one really simple and weird old trick that will end all of your wallet woes:
Stop saving, and start wasting money.

Even though asking questions here isn't right, we all got this idea from an OLD "cards.swf" file on the homestarrunner.com server. It's gone now, but when you flipped through a "deck of cards" in it with all the characters and their names, you came upon "The Unguraits" and finally, "Homeschool Winner," the rejected characters.
Homeschool Winner is sick of explaining stuff.

An unused character on homestarrunner.com. He is Homestar Runner's brother. Only appeared in a deck of cards (which is no longer on the website) and a game called Dancin' Bubs. Rumor has it that he would have been a Homsar-like character, but Homsar replaced him.
Homeschool Winner would have been a way cooler character than Homsar.

Homeschool Winner is Homestar's little brother. He is skinnier, and a little taller, because he was into books and computers from his wee ages and didn't get out much. He's all into technology and is a nerd. He owns a Dell. He lives a little ways outside of Free Country, and doesn't visit often. He hosts his own e-mails at www.independenthomestar.com forums. He was also the target of an enlightening interview there, too.

Expectations are high for the Fort Dorchester boys soccer team.
The Patriots, the defending Region 8-AAAA champions, are hoping to put the pieces together for another deep playoff run. Last season, the Fort advanced to the third round of the state playoffs before being eliminated by a 2-1 loss to Dutch Fork.
Fort Dorchester lost some key players to graduation, but has a skilled group of 14 lettermen returning, including nine starters, so coach Chris Jones is excited about the potential.
We have set high goals for ourselves this season but there will be challenges, Jones said. The biggest challenge will be focusing on the process, not the outcome, each and every time we train or play. The boys have really worked at developing a passing style of play. We are doing some good things against our opponents in that regard, but we will have to continue to make sure our style can be effective in the final third of the field.
Not including scrimmages, the Patriots are out to a 4-0 start this year. The team is ranked 13th among the states Class AAAA teams by the eurosportScoreboard.com poll. However, the Patriots will face stiff completion in their region, which includes 11th ranked Bluffton.
The strength of the Fort squad lies in its midfield, which is anchored by returning seniors Spencer Wilder, Andrew Kephart and Pablo Valenzuela. Last month, Kephart signed with the Francis Marion University soccer team.
Returning seniors Trent DeLeon Borque and Reid Couch will anchor the defense, which features a trio of skilled goalkeepers.
We will use multiple keepers again this year, Jones said. We have three solid GKs and I feel confident putting any of them between the posts on any given night.
Senior Christian Baker returns after splitting time in goal last season. He is the only Patriot keeper with varsity experience but juniors Jake Fladd and Josh Smith have spent a lot of time in goal with their club teams.
Brandon Bozeman, Trenton DeLeon-Bourque and Clay Mahile also bring varsity experience to the defense.
Other players bringing experience to the midfield include Mathew Hardin, Koh Matsumoto, Gonzalo Millan and Ashton Reilly.
Junior Jack Stasek is the only player returning to the forward position so several players are vying for playing time up top.
New members of the team include Davis Colton, Nicholas Hestir, Ramiro Murguia, Dylan Norris, Kellan OHara, Hersh Patel, Michael Sandoval, Joshua Veloso, Andrew Veloso and Christian Wilkerson.
The Patriots host cross-town rival Summerville at 7 p.m. Friday and Goose Creek March 25.

As part of Commissioner Amy Pitter's DOR360 initiative, DOR hosted a Legislative Outreach Day event on Thursday, February 28 in the State House–inviting Legislators and their staffs to meet with a variety of DOR managers to ask questions, discuss policies and learn more about the services DOR offers to our legislative stakeholders.
Commissioner Pitter and senior staff from Child Support, Legal, Tax and Policy Analysis, the Problem Resolution Office and Local Services were on-hand for the open house forum.
During the event, well over 100 people were in attendance. The Commissioner opened with a few welcome remarks and summarized the services offered by DOR – particularly when dealing with constituent issues – and introduced DOR staff.
Response was terrific – with many legislators and staff thanking Commissioner Pitter and mentioning that the event was very helpful in getting information – and also for putting faces to people they had spoken to but had not met.

i was first introduced to Ratchet and Clank back in 2002 when I saw the trailers for it on TV. Then when I got my PS2, Ratchet and Clank was my first video game. I've played the games up to Size Matters, I really enjoyed the first 3. Gladiator was still bearable, the game made you jump through some boring hoops and it was kind of short but the weapon system was great. Then Size Matters came along and it had stupid mini games, a very short story and pretty terrible weapons. Why don't you just give me a Sniper Rifle instead of a Sniper Mine? The only difference is that the mine slows down game play.
After Size Matters I just didn't feel like playing the new Ratchet and Clanks any more. On a brighter note, there were things I really liked about the series. The first is that there is no fail state, no matter what you did there was no game over and you could always get back. There was also no way you could ever mess something up and lock yourself out of half the game like FF7 for example. The currency was also a nice idea although it would be rather awkward in real life if you were to carry millions of bolts with you.
I also think that one of the reasons I enjoyed the games when I was a child is because of how simple the plot is. There's a bad guy going around messing up the place, now go blow him up with a rocket. Pretty basic stuff, there's no plot twists where someone was actually good the whole time. Even with Captain Qwark who has been an ally and an enemy in different games, it was pretty straight forward he's a selfish and greedy guy so it makes sense when he decides to turn against you or help you.
By the way, Captain Qwark's funeral was my favourite moment.

Sapiro and Zempel shine in Acacia's 'Heaven Sent'
As children sing Christmas carols in the gathering gloom, a man bends over his work desk, trying to ignore the sound. Asked by a neighbor for help, he first wants to ensure she can pay. Encouraged to come join his fellows, he grumpily refuses, preferring to count his safely stowed money.
I could be describing Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," but I'm actually recounting the first scene in playwright Rick Whelan's "Heaven Sent," which is receiving its Midwest premiere courtesy of www.acaciatheatre.com/">Acacia Theatre, under directors Elaine Wyler and Michael Landers. »Read Full Article

Embraced by a fallen clan during nights long past, the Giovanni have always had ambition. Now they bring that ambition to bear on a world they would claim for themselves. With vast wealth, the ability to command the spirits of the dead, and a strict familial hierarchy, the greatest enemy to stand against Clan Giovanni is itself.
As the next entry in the revised lineup of clanbooks, Giovanni takes one of the classic Vampire sourcebooks and brings it into a modern context. All-new information accompanies revised material, inviting you to add as much depth to your character as you like. The sheer volume of information contained in the new clanbooks (each with 32 more pages than the first-edition books) permits Storytellers to round out their chronicles.

One of the elements Eagles head coach Chip Kelly focuses on most is sports science and so far it has paid off for his team.
Beyond the high octane offense the most discussed facet of Chip Kelly's hiring as Philadelphia Eagles head coach was the sports science aspects he was bringing to the NFL.
Through four games, it appears that the custom blended smoothies, sleep monitors and other sports science elements are paying off for the Eagles.
"The little things we talk about," Kelly pointed out Thursday. "Are we getting enough sleep? Are we eating the right things? We don't do those things just to do it, we do it to make sure we're doing all of the right things."
By this time in the season it isn't difficult to find an injured player hobbling through the hallways of an NFL team's headquarters or spot a group of players working out on the side of the field with trainers during practice. However, those instances have been an endangered species at One Novacare Way with a quarter of the Eagles games already in the books.
This week only Patrick Chung and Brandon Boykin have appeared on the injury report with shoulder injuries.
There hasn't been a torn ACL since August and only Chung, Boykin, Jason Peters, Brent Celek,Bradley Fletcher, Jason Kelce, Dennis Kelly and Mychal Kendricks have suffered injuries significant enough to even be listed on weekly injury reports this season.
"What you want to look at are the soft tissue injuries," Kelly said. "We haven't had a lot of those things. If you break a bone, you can't really control that. But what we do like is that we don't have a lot of those soft tissue injuries and that comes down to recovery but you need to have something to recover from. That's why the weight lifting aspect is so important and that's why we practice early in the week on a Tuesday when most teams are off because there's a method to all of the madness."
With only eight players having suffered what can be deemed minor to moderate injuries so far this season, it isn't difficult to see the impact of Kelly and sports science coordinator Shaun Hul's efforts.
"I think lot of credit has to go to the players. I think the best ability is durability." Kelly said. "I think our players embrace practice and the preparation of things. Our studies show us that you need to participate. If our guys are out, they're not just standing on the side, they're out there with their strength and conditioning coaches doing something so if they can come back early there isn't a big gap in terms of time lost."
Kelly certainly has experienced his fair share of growing pains in terms of coaching at this level. Yet it seems one thing that certainly can be chalked up as a win in his favor is the fact that the first-year head coach has found a way to limit significant injuries to his football team despite a historically difficult start featuring the grind of playing three games in 11 days to begin the season.

Dam on the Milwaukee River a Treasure to Many
By Susan Bence • Jun 15, 2012
Land preservation runs deep in the psyche of the Badger State, from Aldo Leopold to Gaylord Nelson.
Just north of Milwaukee, Ozaukee County is home to nearly 40 preserved parcels, but a group of volunteers fear these treasures remain "hidden" even to people who live nearby.
So tomorrow's annual celebration – The 3rd annual 'Treasures of Oz' – is designed to entice visitors to eight of the county's more watery gems.
WUWM Environmental Reporter Susan Bence set out to learn about one of them – the Mequon-Thiensville Dam, where she discovers, there's more than "tumbling water" going on.

The Montreal Canadiens had an up-and-down season on special teams in 2013.
Their power play was dominant. The Habs rode the brilliant play of defensemen Andrei Markov and P.K. Subban to the second-most power-play goals in the league. Their scoring rate of 20.7 percent ranked them fifth overall in the NHL.
The Canadiens' play while shorthanded was a different story. The Habs struggled under the new system implemented by Michel Therrien and his staff. Their penalty-killers allowed 35 goals against while only killing off 79.8 percent of opponent's power plays, ranking them 23rd in the league.
The 2013-14 Montreal Canadiens roster looks quite similar to that of last season, with Danny Briere being the only newcomer who is likely to impact special teams. The Habs will be looking to maintain their power-play excellence while making vast improvements to their penalty-killing.
Here is what to love and hate about the Montreal Canadiens' special teams as the 2013-14 NHL season approaches.

Wind Storm
James Gordon's Green Energy Plan Has RFK Jr. Seeing Red
So would James Gordon, president of Cape Wind Associates, whose company hopes to erect 130 windmills in Nantucket Sound by 2005. If he has his way, the $700 million project—one of the largest of its kind in the world—will use a clean, inexhaustible resource to provide three-quarters of the Cape's electricity. "We're talking environmental benefits, energy benefits, economic benefits," says Gordon, 49. At a time when scientists are fretting about global warming, he adds, "this is going to be a model for the nation."
First, though, it will have to get past one of America's best-known environmentalists. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose extended family own several houses in the area, is among the most vocal in a bitter fight against it. "You wouldn't put a wind farm in Yosemite," says Kennedy, 49, an attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council and the third of the assassinated senator's 11 children. The impact, he has claimed, would be "as enormous as anything imposed by the coal or nuclear industry." Such comments have put him at odds with the NRDC and shocked green colleagues. "He's such an important environmental voice," says Greenpeace official Kert Davies. "His rhetoric is surprising. It's a closed issue in his mind."
And a personal one. "I plead guilty," says Kennedy, "to trying to protect a place I love." Still, he bridles at the suggestion that opposition comes solely from wealthy yacht owners guarding their playground. "This is a place where cops and firemen go," he says. Indeed, George Fardy, who owns the Ocean View Motel in Centerville, Mass., says guests gladly sign his petition against the project. "This beach is world-famous," says Fardy. "It will just destroy the character of the Cape."
Gordon counters that the windmills, located six miles off Hyannisport and nine miles off Martha's Vineyard, will barely be visible from shore; in any case, he says, they will be "beautiful and majestic." But aesthetics aren't the only issue. Some worry that birds will crash into the 426-ft. turbines, each taller than the Statue of Liberty. The impact of the 24-sq.-mile wind farm on marine life—and the fishing industry—is another unknown. "We're concerned that this will put us out of business," says Shareen Davis, 44, who trolls the area for squid and mackerel.
Gordon is confident that such fears will be put to rest by the Army Corps of Engineers' environmental-impact report, due later this year. But similar feuds are bound to arise as the wind-power industry takes off nation-wide. Currently accounting for just under 1 percent of U.S. energy output, land-based windmills are now the country's fastest-growing source of electricity. (In Europe, the turbines have multiplied on land and sea over the past decade and now generate 18 percent of Denmark's power.) Many of America's wind farms are located in sparsely populated areas of Texas and California, where few people object to them. With more than 20 offshore projects proposed, however, calls for government regulation are growing. "If we're serious about offshore wind power," says Isaac Rosen, executive director of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, which is led by local business owners, "we have to undertake zoning of the ocean so that developers aren't calling the shots."
That kind of talk infuriates Gordon, a convenience-store owner's son, who graduated from Boston University during the energy crisis of 1975. Since then, he has made a career of developing cleaner power sources, from natural gas to wood chips. Before settling on Cape Wind's proposed site, he says, "we spent a year researching all of New England." With its strong breezes and shallow waters, he adds, "this is the optimal site."
He has yet to convince doubters like newsman Walter Cronkite, who owns a house on Martha's Vineyard. "It bothers the devil out of me," says Cronkite. "You don't take a natural resource like Nantucket Sound and pepper it with machinery." In response, Gordon points to the Cape's pollutant-spewing power plant. As the world grapples with potentially catastrophic climate change, he says, "the question is, are we going to be part of the solution?"

The Darkness II is an enjoyable FPS based off of the comic book series of the same name. I've had some experience with the comics, but not with the original game. I got this game as apart of a 2K Games Bundle, so didn't totally know what to expect going in. By the end, however, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game. It's a bloody jaunt of revenge as you play a mafia aficionado trying to get back your beloved that was taken from you. However, you have powers of The Darkness that consumes and drives you, pushing you along to continue ripping shooting and kill all the things that are placed before you. The story was very enjoyable and held plenty of comic book charm. However, it felt much too short. After getting your upgrades for The Darkness and seeing all the weapons, it was basically over. There's a few nice twists I didn't expect that kept me excited about the game all throughout, as well. Overall, it's fun and enjoyable gameplay, but I can't say that this game is a must. It's worth watching through a let's play if you're curious, but if you enjoy The Darkness franchise than I would say it's definitely worth your time.
This game is different from all other games in it's categories. It is seemingly meant to be dark and scary, yet some things will definitely make you laugh like the little monkey demon that helps you on your path to total darkness. The controls are quite easy to figure out, as any other game. You are not limited to singular ways of killing people, but you are able to be tactical and destroy enemies in different ways. You can cause mass destruction with your demonic powers and completely destroy everything that comes in your path. The story line is very peculiar with a great setting and game play.
The Darkness 2 is an extremely enjoyable shooter. It makes you feel like a god if you know what you're doing. It is slightly more violent than regular shooters, but then again you aren't playing a regular guy in The Darkness 2. In The Darkness 2, you play as Jackie Estacado, a man who wields the titular Darkness, an ability that lets you do everything from reenacting the chestburster scene from Alien to throwing black holes are your enemies. You get a limited number of weapons to carry and wield, but the number of Darkness abilities you get to wield more than makes up for this. In fact the abilities might even be more fun than the guns. The story is rather decent. There are no giant plot twists or anything, but it is still solid and sets the stage for a sequel, even though it is unlikely we will ever get one. Play The Darkness 2 if you are a fan of shooters. Or want something more fun than a gray brown military shooter. Or just want to play a game that knows how to be fun and serious.
As many people know, Darkness game lets you experience the adventures of Jackie Estacado, the protagonist of Darkness comics. And it puts you right in the middle of the action without any delays and explaining. You get to command your dark minions and hellish powers given to you by the Darkness (which is voiced by none other than Mike Patton) to help you overcome the bad guys and save your girlfriend. Pretty straightforward but it's much more interesting than it sounds like as you get to explore your character's inner demons and past. The gameplay itself is pretty simple, you shoot stuff with various weapons but what's the main focus is the upgradable Darkness powers which make things more entertaining. The game encourages you to come up with various ways to dispose of your enemies with using Darkness and it is often required to defeat more advanced enemies. It's fun, really, but the fun lasts only for a short while unfortunately. The game is not very long and even though you get 4 mini-campaigns with different characters in addition to the main Jackie Estacado story, it's still quite short and the additional campaigns aren't all that interesting compared to the the main one. But still it's a decent game and you'll be content with it especially if you're a fan of the original comic book source material for this game.
This is one of the bloodiest, goriest games I've played and is perfect for fans of the Darkness comic books. You play Jackie Estacado, a Mafia hitman who wields an ancient power known as the Darkness and gives him special abilities. The game lets you wield 4 tentacles at the same time, and dual wield guns. There's a nice co-op campaign called Vendettas which lets you do 4 players with friends and choose 4 unique characters with unique abilities like a Japanese man with a sword, a voodoo man, and a Scottish man with a axe who looks like Sheamus from WWE. Graphics are nice, just wish there was more content but still a great time. Definite buy if you're a fan of the comic or bloody FPS shooters.

LeBron James is really strong. And really lucky. Many players would immediately be knocked to the ground after taking a hit like that, but LeBron stays upright long enough to throw the ball toward the rim. This wasn't a good look, mind you, but it was good enough to have a prayer. And that prayer was answered.

Juventus host Benfica on Thursday night, the Italian side hoping to overturn the 2-1 deficit from last week's first leg. With a place in the final—to be held at their own stadium on May 14—at stake, the Bianconeri will hope to secure passage to this season's Europa League showpiece.
Their Lisbon-based opponents sealed their own domestic title before meeting with the two-time Serie A champions, but Juve have needed to field their strongest XI as Roma push them all the way to the wire. That has left Antonio Conte with little chance to rotate, using eight of his first-choice team in Monday's 3-1 win over Sassuolo.
Over the following pages is a look at what can be expected from the coach of La Madama in what is set to be a key match for the Turin giants.

Former Vincent star Garrett earns NBA degree
If this were a cheesy movie from the 1980s, the camera would find our star outside the locker room.
With final cuts made, the coach has just posted the new team roster on the bulletin board. In a symbolic move, our player fights his way from the back of the hoard to the front, where he scans down the list. At the bottom of the page, he finds his name: Diante Garrett.
In 2012, however, you can find out you've made the NBA by simply checking your phone.
"Probably 20 people on Twitter wrote me like 'Congratulations on making the team' and it was night (time)," the former Milwaukee Vincent standout and new Phoenix Suns guard said. "And I was thinking to myself that I don't know if I made the team or not. Nobody told me anything."
That happened the next day at practice but not before he put two and two together himself.
"Right before practice Coach said, 'These are our guys right here,' " Garrett said, "and the other two guys that were out there with us trying out weren't there and I was like "OK, I guess I'm on the team then.' "
Garrett is the latest Milwaukee product to make the NBA, a guy you should celebrate not for his newfound status as much as what it took to get there. The 6-foot-4 guard obviously has some athletic gifts and pedigree - his father, Dick Garrett, played for three teams from 1969-'74 - but there are plenty of guys out there with game who never make the cut.
When you're an undrafted free agent like Garrett trying to make a truly worldwide league, it takes a certain mentality as well.
"He was gym rat and loved to play," said Tom Diener, Garrett's coach at Vincent. "And he had a great attitude about playing the game. I think it feeds you when you truly love to spend your time in the gym and that's how he was."
Garrett has never just arrived. He's had to work his way through the ranks.
Curtis Weathers, the executive director of Stay In The Game, the club organization where Garrett was coached by Charles Jordan, recalls how the lanky Garrett rarely got playing time with his previous traveling team and didn't make the varsity at Vincent until his junior year. Diener, who now coaches at Milwaukee Hamilton, remembers the hard time he had pitching Garrett to big-time college programs until Iowa State came along.
Even after Garrett made a name for himself, he was a guy who maybe didn't get his just due.
In Garrett's senior high school season, the Mr. Basketball Award was shared by Madison Memorial's Keaton Nankivil and La Crosse Aquinas' Scott Christopherson, something that still bugs Diener.
As a senior at Iowa State, Garrett made only second-team all-Big 12 despite leading the league in assists and ranking fifth in scoring. And then there was the 2011 NBA draft, where he went unselected, much to the chagrin of those close to him.
"I think the thing that really hurt him more than that was the NBA being locked out," said Iowa State associate head coach T.J. Otzelberger, a St. Thomas More graduate who recruited Garrett. "Not having a summer league didn't give Diante that platform to go out in the summer and prove to people he should have been picked."
Garrett spent last year playing overseas for a team near Paris where he got used to the physical aspects of professional ball and a steady diet of pick-and-rolls.
When he was invited to Suns summer league and their training camp, he was ready. It was an ideal situation personally and professionally. Wesley Johnson, a roommate of Garrett's at Iowa State, was entering his second year on the team, and Noel Gillespie, a friend of Otzelberger's from UW-Whitewater, is an assistant coach. More importantly, the team had only 13 players under contract, leaving two roster spots up for grabs.
Garrett made the most of the opportunities. He averaged 4.6 points and 2.6 assists in about 16½ minutes per game in the summer and averaged 2.5 points and 2.5 assists in 9 minutes per game during the preseason.
He was inactive for the first three games, but made his NBA debut Monday in a loss to Miami. He showed his ability to get to the basket with a baseline drive to the hoop for his first NBA basket. Later he dropped his first assist to Luke Zeller for a 17-foot jumper.
Garrett understands the work has just begun, though and he'll approach it as his father taught him long before he was anything near a pro ballplayer.
"He's been through everything and he always told me to keep my head up," Garrett said. "Keep getting better every day and just don't let nobody outwork you. He always told me the saying that you can get beat, but don't ever get outworked."

Suddenly according to ALL of the Mit Folks on Face book, the world has affectively ended and Fiscal armageddon is coming in 2013.
I got my new Tech Aero Designs IBEC <ignition battery eliminator circuit today.
The Transmitter on the Smart Fly Opti Cut has freaked out. it cost the same to replace the transmitter part as buy the entire IBEC and this negates the need for a seperate ignition battery, and the igintion power can be 5.0, 5.3, or 6.6.
I find this seems to be a very positive improvement.
O boys , boys, boys flight report.
Now I have a non flying friend that has been talking about dueling with cheap heli's
Well he owed me on a bet on the president election for a whole dolar seventy five. I won.
So I went yesterday to collect
Took syma sg 107, and my blade MCX, and my brought my other SG 107.
Now I wanted to give him a fair advantage.
So I attempted training him on one of the SC 107's.
I lifted the SG 107 off and trimed her hover.
Thn let him fly her.
When he spun up the heli lifted but he left her in ground effect too long and he crashed her.
No damage
Next try, she spun up an rose to about 4 ft, hover for a 1/2 second.
Goes for forward flight and what I believe is he cross couples the stick and is heading to the right. He then over corrects spinning the heli in circle to the left, finely stopping cockeye facing him.
Once again he trys forward flight . The control reversal of the heli coming torwards him confused him, resulting a collision with the wall.
This went on for maybe 5 trys when finally the poor little heli is completely ustable in operation.
I brought out the next SG 107 and I hovered her for a 1/2 minute and then flew her around the room. I then holding the TX and controling the throttle let him turn her right then left. go forward. stop. turn around. an go forward.
I didn't let him have the TX and had to take it away a couple of times.
My big mistake was I let him fly my blade MCX out side.
The 1st try of him flying my MCX him ended up with the heli getting over the roof and the air currents carrying her away. He chopped throttle and she came tumbling down the steep roof.
No damage so he tried again with much more success.
But the out door wind currents kept taking her down wind.
After 3 short flights she broke the flybar holder.
Of course now my friend knows there is no way in H#LL he could beat me in a game of combat heli's.
Howdy all
Well its a fine day here pulled a 22 hour day on Tuesday man that NYcity is hurtin I think it might be worse in NJ the gas lines are terrible those poor folks it only took me 2.5 hours to get to the city from Albany and another 3 something hours just to get to my first stop, I left albany at around 2:00pm and finally arrived home at 5am long day and too boot they gave me a 53 foot trailor and a tractor with a sleeper on it just to add an additional 10 feet to the turning radius which was not fun in the crouded city at all I was just thankful I didn't add to the casualty total.
Snowman I hope you have reached the -50lb mark
And if we get nor'easters like the one we got last night I'll take that all year long, we had maybe a slight dusting of salt on the road as they were preparing to get hit be we got Nuttin
LOL Kerwin Excellent report and sounds like a fun time to me for sure

I was so excited to be able to finally go flying late this afternoon, that I completely forgot that it was parent/teachers conferences this afternoon as well, until my wife pulled up just as I was closing the freshly filled trunk and reminded me of that fact. Now many hours later and in utter darkness I have yet to unload said trunk of once again neglected aircraft! The high point of this story? I got to listen to my girls' teachers tell me how well they're both doing! Two more years of high school and my baby is off to college!!!!! Man do I feel old!
This is the Pizza Box (the one with wheels) and the Flip Flop.
The Candy Corn is a Fire Fly painted like a Candy Corn. Anyway, it is one of these painted white on the nose, orange body, and yellow on the elevons. The verticle fin is also white/orange/yellow.

(6) XTINA v. (11) CHERYL COLE
Surely, if you are reading this particular Web site, you are at least vaguely aware of what Christina Aguilera here has been up to of late, namely: promoting Burlesque with Cher, continuing to hang out with Cher, then falling off stages and getting boozed up. We've seen a lot of Xtina lately – remember her Globes ensemble? Also known as the night we all realized how much she looks like Snooki all of a sudden — but allow me, please, to take this moment and remind you what she did this summer, while she was promoting her (non-starter) album:
And also this:
It's nice to see a celebrity recycling outfits the way the rest of us do. Of course, for me that means I wear the same dress more than once. For her, it apparently means using different hot-pants to sass up her BeDazzled tights.

The Hoard Mentality
When pack-rats go bad: How the urge to accumulate can overwhelm
As psychopathologies go, hoarding is relatively new but unquestionably fashionable. E.L. Doctorow published a novel last year ("Homer and Langley") about the Collyer brothers, the Manhattan recluses whose five-story brownstone, in 1947, yielded 170 tons of closely packed objects, including 14 grand pianos and the brothers' corpses. There are two television programs—"Hoarders" (A&E) and "Hoarding: Buried Alive" (TLC)—that introduce viewers to weekly case studies. Now comes "Stuff" by Randy O. Frost and Gail Steketee, scholars who have studied hoarding closely and pondered its curious causes and disturbing effects.
What is hoarding, exactly? Tune in to either of the TV programs and the scenes are indistinguishable: middle-class residences filled with piles of accumulated things, narrow paths through mountains of junk, obstructed windows, groaning tables, an absence of empty surfaces. There are no authoritative statistics on hoarding in America, but the authors suggest that it is a more widespread phenomenon than is generally realized. There are therapists who deal exclusively with hoarders and specialized cleaning crews with more business than they can handle.
At first glance, it's a comic spectacle: adults who can't throw away empty cans, who keep paper bags full of bric-a-brac and plastic bags full of paper bags— sometimes organizing their hoard by some ambiguous filing system. But the laughter is short-lived. It is evident that hoarders are mentally disturbed and to some degree imprisoned by their impulses. In many cases, they are intelligent, articulate people who can describe at length why it is imperative to hang on to individual objects while acknowledging that hoarding has blighted their existence. The individual accounts of hoarders in "Stuff" are a parade of stifled lives, failed marriages, estranged families, personal agony.
By Randy O. Frost and Gail Steketee
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 290 pages, $27
To be sure, hoarding is not a problem in impoverished societies. But it is altogether too easy to blame hoarding on affluence—or, for the politically inclined, on American materialism. Most people, including inveterate collectors of special categories of objects (stamps, baseball cards), confine their instinct to acquire within rational limits. It is arguable, of course, that many of us fall somewhere between pathology and equilibrium, managing our possessions in certain aspects of our lives but losing control in others—in the garage and basement, for example, where some variant of hoarding may afflict the sensible homeowner. In the case of hoarders, whatever cerebral mechanism imposes order and restraint has broken down.
The question is why, and "Stuff," which describes its subject in authoritative detail, has no definitive answer. In the cases presented by the authors there is a common thread of childhood deprivation and adult compensation, but the problem of hoarding reveals itself in infinite ways. Janet and Irene (two of the book's first-name-only case studies) both suffered emotional wounds in youth and exhibit lifelong signs of perfectionism; but while Irene seems to keep everything that passes through her hands, Janet is a compulsive shopper, actively "growing" her collection of stuff. Pamela, another product of a catastrophic upbringing, ends up hoarding animals instead of objects.
Some hoarders live in unimaginable squalor, others in tolerable circumstances. Some are capable of explaining the significance of every trivial object in proximity, including paper clips and scraps of paper; others gaze upon piles of dirty dishes and rotted food and shrug their shoulders. In some cases, possessions seem to serve as a substitute for emotional nourishment or to symbolize a particular memory or desire.
Is hoarding a problem? On the whole, the answer is yes. As a psychiatric matter, it can be destructive to individual lives and disruptive, even dangerous, to other people. In one example, a family of four adults lives in a New York condominium presided over by a hoarder named Daniel, who is both deeply delusional and bullying by nature. The apartment is crawling with cockroaches, and the building is suffused with the odor of decay. Inevitably, it is no easy matter to contend with Daniel through the city bureaucracy or the legal system.
What to do? A viewer of those television shows may well be struck by the gentle approach of the people who seek to help hoarders: Counselors patiently discuss each hoarded/burnt-out light bulb and slowly work their way through metric tons of trash. A measure of tough love seems more desirable to me, along with recognition that hoarding is a symptom of serious illness requiring much more than the talking cure.
