Hi, Riel! Thank you for sending me a message! I wasn't aware of the " no reply" setting on my comment to you and don't know how to remedy it(may have to wait for one of my kids to help). Anyway, my email is email@example.com if you ever need it!
If you really wanted 1000 squares, perhaps the backing could be "I spy" squares also?
I'm glad your daughter enjoyed your efforts! Your children are at a wonderful age now!

Thank you again for inspiring DD and I for our "I Spy" quilt. The patches are cut but we have not yet decided on a layout - yours looks so good we may try something similar!
Thank you - it looks fabulous.

Thanks for the sweet comment on my zig zag.
I am amazed by all your I Spy squares!! I really love how you spelled out I Spy (and I'm with you on the lowercase i). I cannot wait to see the finish.

There are so many to "spy" - WOW!
Beautiful job!

Amazing! I know what you mean about the lower case I. Although "i spy" has an iPad/iPod ring to it.

Fantastic I Spy Quilt! I love how you added the bright colored border around each block. I made my son a I spy quilt years ago and we enjoyed playing many of a I Spy game together. Ahhh the memories...

Uganda's Warrior Girls
Yes, this slight, shy girl talking with me in the schoolyard killed four people. The rebel soldiers had given her the dictum so many warrior Ugandan children live under: "Kill, or we will kill you." She tells her story in a rapid-fire, hushed monotone—as if rushing to deliver a memorized passage from a tale too awful to really think about. And that it is. She is only now 16 years old: as an 11-year-old soldier she killed grown men. I don't give her name because life is still too dangerous for her. Abducted from her school by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) as a small child, she is now rebuilding her life in northern Uganda—a student at a boarding school for girls in Kitgum, near the Sudanese border. In the run of her life, she managed to escape from the brutality of the rebel army only to return to her village to find her parents dead. More »

Organize Sewing Supplies
Create a clutter-free work space by storing your scissors, rulers, thread, and other notions with one of these stylish organization ideas.
In the Groove [1]
In a cabinet tall and deep enough to house your largest rulers, grooved wooden ruler caddies store measuring tools vertically, saving space and preventing clutter.
Compartmentalize It [3]
Inexpensive containers purchased in bulk at a dollar store turn a drawer into a perfect place to sort tiny sewing notions.
Hanging Storage [5]
Kitchen storage gadgets, such as this hook-filled rod, often work well in the sewing room, too. Make your own with S hooks and a curtain rod to keep cutting tools in line.
Multi-Use Storage [7]
A large desk organizer can fit smaller cutting mats and acrylic rulers and templates. Smaller items, such as scissors, marking tools, and embellishments can fit in the separaters.
From the Baking Aisle [9]
Cookie jars are the perfect size for storing spools of thread, buttons, ribbons, and more. Clear jars and printed labels let you easily see what's inside each jar. If you want a more uniform look, buy painted jars in a color that match your decor.
Slim Storage [11]
Drop-down cabinet drawers at a work station corral rotary cutters.
Stashing Notions [13]
Use a flatware divider to store often-used items next to your sewing machine. They'll always be in reach, but won't roll off the table.
Classic Pegboard [15]
Pegboard looks nicer when painted to match your decor and framed with wood trim. Use it to keep rulers and acrylic templates at your fingertips.
On-the-Go Storage [17]
Make a simple storage container out of a toolbox to take your must-have supplies on a vacation or retreat. Separate notions and other supplies into the compartments in the tray and hide fabric and scissors in the larger space underneath.
Spinning Storage [19]
A spinning organizer stores scissors, cutters, marking tools, and other small items in a contained (but accessible) space.
Clever Ribbon Storage [21]
Fill straw dispensers with towers of ribbon spools and watch them rise to the occasion. Not only are unruly ribbons kept in check, but they're also visible. To get the spools inside, remove the top of a dispenser insert and slide ribbons onto the rod.
Display Your Pearls [23]
Pearl cottons are pretty! Display them in a bowl on your sewing table for easy access and a cute display. A wood bowl, like in this picture, gives a homey and warm look. Choose a bowl to match your decor.
Ruler Storage [25]
Keep track of smaller templates and specialty rulers with a large D-ring binder and zippered see-through pockets.
Stick Them Up [27]
Command™ Hooks are perfect for putting storage where you need it. Place them above a work space to hang rulers, acrylic templates, and scissors close by. Or hang them from the side of a table or cabinet for storage that doesn't take up extra space.
Spice Up Your Storage [29]
A spice rack with empty spice jars can help organize buttons by color or size. Not only is it a convenient way to store small embellishemtns, but it looks pretty on your sewing table!
Pretty Pincushion Display [31]
Display a collection of pincushions within reach on this pretty pedestal. Keep yours on a counter for fun decor, or hide it in a cabinet to keep your work space neat.
Stack Them Up [33]
Stackable plastic storage holds hard-to-store supplies. Try using one container for your basting supplies, one for extra needles and pins, and one for specialty threads. Stack them as high as you need! Add sticker letters to the outside so you know what each container is for.
Magnetic Storage [35]
A bank of 7-inch-deep cabinets allows for creative storage ideas, including this magnetic memo board. To make your own, cut a piece of galvanized metal to fit your space, then screw it to the cabinet back. For a pretty finish, cover the metal piece with wallpaper.
Less-Mess Dispensers [37]
Unwind yarn or ribbon with ease by stashing the rolls in an empty sugar dispenser and threading the ends through the hole in the lid.
Vintage Drawer Storage [39]
Decorate boring drawers with pieces of punchy wallpaper. Stash buttons, ribbons, and other notions in vintage candy dishes for easy-to-rifle-through storage.
Serve Up Storage [41]
Small ceramic dishes can store thread and buttons for your current project (or just the supplies that won't fit in your drawers). Arranging them on a matching serving tray makes them both transportable and stylish.
Pegboard Storage [43]
Keep supplies out of the way by employing vertical storage. Pegboards on a wall easily hold anything that can hang, such as these thread balls. Scissors and ribbon also hang perfectly from pegs.
Use Vintage Pieces [45]
Store buttons, pins, and other small quilting supplies in decorative containers, such as antique muffin tins.
Pop of Red [47]
Use pegboard and small buckets as functional decor. Eliminate clutter by stashing marking tools, thread, and other small quilting notions in cute painted, wooden, or metal containers.
Embellishment Storage [49]
For visible storage, line up jars housing small embellishments and notions such as buttons in a spice rack.
Test It Out [51]
Test tubes hold buttons in an unexpected display.
Glass Notion Storage [53]
Choose candy dishes and glass vases to hold buttons, ribbon, and fun embellishments in style. Organize by color and group them for a pretty tabletop display.
Flea Market Style [55]
Corral crafts supplies in a three-tiered stand made from vintage tins.
In-Progress Project Storage [58]
Corral supplies for a current project in an old lunch tray. Each section of the tray can hold a variety of notions, from pins to thread, for easy-to-see (and transport) storage.
Smart Use of Space [60]
Fashion a pullout ironing board or use a tabletop ironing board for light pressing tasks. Smaller ironing boards take up less space when they're not in use.
Get Creative [62]
Store ribbon on a vintage wire rack. Scour vintage shops and flea markets to find other creative ways to display ribbon, trims, and fabric.
Small-Scale Storage [64]
Organize rickrack, thread, and other small quilting supplies in small plastic bins from a hardware or craft store. Many organizers that are for tools or other hardware items can easily accommodate sewing supplies.
Clever Details [66]
Hit the hardware store for useful storage containers. The small drawers meant for nails make great receptacles for embroidery thread. Create labels for the small drawers.
Coordinated Colors [68]
Organize buttons by color and store them in transparent, matching containers. Hide the jars in a pullout drawer to minimize clutter.

It's right in the name. Duh. Late Night Slice was an idea borne out of co-founder Mikey Sorboro's desire for a nice greasy slice after a night of drinking. That formula continues to be winning. Next time you need to soak up all that booze, you know where to go.

Cheats and Walkthroughs
According to Rockstar, upcoming open-world crime game L.A. Noire will ship on three discs for the Xbox 360.
"L.A. Noire was always going to be a massive game, from the size and detail of the world to the length of the cases, and of course, the sheer amount of MotionScan data required for the faces of over 400 actors in-game," Jeronimo Barrera of Rockstar told Kotaku, "To tell the story and make the game we wanted to make, we knew that it was going to take an entire single layer Blu-ray disc and three Xbox discs."
Lest you think you'll constantly be getting off your couch a hundred times to switch discs, Rockstar says that you'll only have to swap out DVDs twice, and they happen at "natural breaks between cases."
"Since the game is built around the concept of progressing through individual cases from desk to desk, players on Xbox will find disc-swapping is hassle-free," Barrera said.
Before you start imagining that L.A. Noire will be three times as long as Rockstar's single-disc Grand Theft Auto 4 or Red Dead Redemption, keep in mind: One of the main features of Noire is the facial-video technology. Basically, the cut scenes are meant to be more detailed than any other game I've ever heard of, and that, no doubt, will take a whole of disc space. Speaking of disc space, that Blu-Ray on the PS3 is seeming pretty useful right about now, eh?
While Nikole "Zipper" Zivalich says she hates switching discs, I feel it's a nostalgic trip back in time to my youth of playing PC games, some of which came on like 8 floppies that had to be switched constantly. What do you think?

Seven Down
A chosen card appears face up at a randomly selected number - it then suddenly changes into a second selection.
Draw Poker
A spectator removes 5 cards at random from the deck. You then remove 5 cards. Finally a 3rd spectator shuffles the deck and removes 5 cards. When you each reveal your hand, you've each got an A-K-Q-J-10 Straight. A draw!
A variation on Roy Walton's Cascade. This version is designed for Jumbo cards, but any cards can be used.
8 greetings cards (birthday, Christmas, or whatever you want) are used. Money is clipped inside the cards and a spectator mixes the cards. In the end you win the big money. Oh, and did I mention the selected playing card that vanishes from the deck and appears stapled to the final greetings card?
Lucky for Sum
A triple prediction using a deck shuffled by a spectator. You never touch the deck after it has been shuffled. Practically works itself.
The Equalizer
An oddball effect, where the Aces redistribute themselves in a packet to create a puzzling effect.
Secrets Merchants
An improved method for a Jerry Sadoldwitch trick. First you are able to name two selections that you couldn't possibly have seen, then they unexpectedly transpose.
Amount Account Recounted
A variation on a mind-bending concept of Marty Kane's (he has many such concepts).
Pictorial Ratification
If you want to appear to read minds, you may want to read this...
A Safe Bet
Five envelopes - one contains money - your money! Your back is turned. A spectator freely switches the envelopes around. During this, you tell him to pick up and KEEP four. You may break into a cold sweat, but you keep your money! If you lose your money, it means you haven't read the instructions properly. I offer no refunds :o)
A Piece of Fred
A color divination routine based on an unpublished Fred Robinson trick.
Jumbo Jeopardy
A jumbo card is torn into 4 pieces. Three pieces are placed under three Jumbo cards. The 4th piece is placed under your wallet. You cleanly lift the three jumbo cards to show that the three pieces have vanished. A spectator lifts your wallet to find the fully restored jumbo card underneath.
Not as Impromptu
A different principle is used to emulate a Roy Walton trick.
My Goodness...
Two random cards successfully find the mate of a card previously placed in a spectator's pocket.
You cut to the four Kings. Then you reveal four Jacks - these will help the lonely Kings find their Queens. Finally you reveal the four Queens. Very easy to do - big display finish for very little effort.

Thanks in part to a $300 million grant through the Recovery Act, Johnson Controls has been able to retool a shuttered plant in Holland, Michigan to produce high-tech advanced batteries.
Earlier today, President Obama visited Johnson Controls in Holland, Michigan to highlight how this once shuttered factory is helping rev up the advanced battery industry in the United States. This long dormant plant was revived by a $300 million Recovery Act grant which allowed Johnson Controls to secure the private investments it needed to select the Holland facility over several other overseas locations. Similar Recovery Act investments have helped position the United States to lead the charge in advanced battery production, practically building the industry from the ground up in less than two years. In 2009, the U.S. accounted for just 2 percent of the world's advanced batteries. Over the next few years, the United States will be able to produce enough batteries and components to support 1 million plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, thanks to strategic Recovery Act investments and the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loan program. This will boost our economy and help create high quality jobs all across America.
We first visited the team at Johnson Controls early last year, when they were still in the planning phase for this new facility. In the video above, you can watch Plant Manager Elizabeth Rolinski explain the implications of this investment and the ripple effect it has had on the surrounding community.
President Obama, who had Elizabeth guide him through the facility earlier today, spoke about Johnson Controls' impact to hundreds of workers who had gathered at the facility:
"Look at this factory. Look what's happening in Holland, Michigan. Every day, hundreds of people are going to work on the technologies that are helping us to fight our way out of this recession. Every day, you're building high-tech batteries so that we lead the world in manufacturing the best cars and the best trucks. And that just doesn't mean jobs in Michigan. You're buying equipment and parts from suppliers in Florida and New Mexico and Ohio and Wisconsin and all across America… At a time when Americans are rightly focused on our economy, when Americans are asking about what's our path forward, all of you here at Johnson Controls are providing a powerful answer."

About Adult Self-Reported Lifetime and Current Asthma Prevalence
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) - 2006
BRFSS Survey
In 2006, the BRFSS survey was conducted in all 50 states, the District of Colombia and in two US territories (Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands). Guam did not collect any data. In each area where interviews are conducted, respondents are randomly selected from noninstitutionalized civilian adults (18 years of age or older) living in households with a telephone. Asthma prevalence data are produced from the responses to two asthma questions on the year 2006 BRFSS Core Questionnaire.
Lifetime asthma: Question number 8.1
Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or other health professional that you had asthma?
Current asthma: Question number 8.2
If the response to 8.1 was Yes, then question 8.2 was asked: Do you still have asthma?
BRFSS Survey Analyses
The BRFSS 2006 survey data file was used to analyze lifetime and current asthma prevalence by selected sociodemographic groups. Prevalence and standard error estimates were calculated using SUDAAN Release 9.0.1 (Research Triangle Institute, P.O. Box 12194, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709).
Number of people affected was estimated by multiplying the prevalence rate against the US or New York State population in that particular subgroup.
Confidence Intervals:
The 95% Confidence Intervals(CI) were calculated using the following formula:
- Lower 95% Confidence Interval = % prevalence – t(sep)
- Upper 95% Confidence Interval = % prevalence + t(sep)
Where sep is the standard error of the prevalence percent and t equals the z distribution value of 1.96 for large sample size analyses. For other analyses with smaller sample sizes due to the use of demographic subcategories, the exact value from the t distribution appropriate to the sample size for the percent prevalence was used instead of the approximate z-value of 1.96. Because of the use of the more exact t-value, 95% Confidence Intervals in the tables may differ slightly from those presented in other representations of these data.
Subgroup tables are based on data analyzed by the following variables:
- Gender: Male and Female
- Age Group: 18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, and 65+
- Race: White, Black, Other, and Multi Race
- Race/Ethnicity:White NH(non-Hispanic), Black NH, Other NH, Multirace NH, and Hispanic
- Education: HS Nongrad(High School non-Graduate), HS Grad, Some Coll(College), and Coll Grad
- Income: $0-$14,999, $15,000-$24,999, $25,000-$49,999, $50,000-$74,999, and $75,000+

MDD Skin Perfect Brightening Nano Gel & Skin Perfect CC Cream Review
Brought to you by MDD
What we do to our skin in our 20's and early 30's can positively or negatively affect the health of our skin and the rate at which it *GASP!* ages.
This period is when we should be most cautious because that's when the aging process starts to accelerate (our skin starts aging at 18. =.=") >>> oxygen levels decrease, moisture levels drop, fine lines surface, dull and uneven skin tone occur, and pigmentation darkens.
We all know a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet do wonders to the skin, but as we live in this world that doesn't sleep, it's hard to keep 8 hours of sleep and have 3 square meals daily.
What we cannot achieve naturally due to work/study stress, environmental factors and bad lifestyle habits, at the very least we have HOPE in the form of MDD Brightening Skincare Range.
I have 2 products from MDD Cosmeceutical to share with you and you can get a FREE 😀 MDD Age Fight Repair+ Elixir and even a FREE MDD Skin Perfect Brightening Peel!
MDD Cosmeceutical Japan
MDD (My Daily Dose) Cosmeceutical empowers individuals with skincare that offers multiple benefits, for ultimate fuss-free skincare efficiency. MDD Cosmeceutical products are designed and formulated with 0% paraben, 0% scent and 0% fuss. Formulated by a lab in Japan, the products are created with the latest cutting-edge skincare technology to deliver key, active ingredients to the skin's deeper layers.
MDD Skin Perfect Brightening Nano Gel
This high-performance day moisturizer contains Vitamin C and Pearl Essence to brighten skin and increase luminosity. The Seaweed Extract helps to keep skin moist and Cermamides calms the skin.
I like that the MDD Skin Perfect Brightening Nano Gel allows me some time to spread and work it into my skin, those few seconds of lightly massaging my skin promotes blood circulation and relieves stress. The lightweight, non-sticky texture feels extremely comfortable on the skin.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
June 12, 2012
NEW YORK (June 12, 2011) — The University of Texas at El Paso's College of Business Administration is one of five business schools selected by The Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) to participate in a groundbreaking pilot program aimed at enhancing the strategic communication and reputation management education provided to the nation's MBA candidates.
The schools selected by PRSA have demonstrated a commitment to teaching the strategic value of public relations at the MBA level, and currently offer or have previously offered public relations classes or coursework in their MBA and/or Executive MBA programs.
The other institutions taking part in the pilot include Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business; the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business; Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management; and Quinnipiac University's School of Business.
"We are grateful for the PRSA's recognition of the advances and successful outcomes created by our faculty and staff in the education of MBA students over the past five years. This PRSA pilot program will help us expand our academic communications strategy in the MBA Program - for the benefit of our students . It is exciting and consistent with our long-term strategy. Congratulations to our business school colleagues, who will join in this current effort! We look forward to working with you and the PRSA team." Dr. Robert Nachtmann, Dean of the College of the Business Administration, UTEP.
Under the pilot program, the College of Business Administration will integrate a new, turn-key public relations course into its MBA curriculum for the 2012-2013 academic year. PRSA developed the course in partnership with Paul Argenti, a professor of corporate communications at the Tuck School of Business.
The College of Business Administration also will work collaboratively with the other business schools on identifying and documenting best practices in terms of subject matter and teaching methods, and on incorporating its findings into a formal report to be released at the pilot program's end.
Upon successful validation of the curriculum, PRSA will offer the public relations course and best-practices guide to business schools nationwide.
"We're extremely proud of the quality and diversity of the university programs that showed interest and were selected to take part in our MBA pilot program," said PRSA Chair and CEO Gerard F. Corbett, APR, Fellow PRSA. "Our aim was to identify schools that were best-in-class in their respective categories and representative of various geographies, sizes and specializations, and I'd say we exceeded those goals, given the caliber of the institutions selected."
PRSA Study Underscores Need for Public Relations Training
In October 2011, a Kelton Business Leader Study commissioned by PRSA surveyed 204 American business leaders (vice president and above) to gauge the organizational value that U.S. business executives place on corporate communications and reputation management, and on senior managers having advanced knowledge and grounding in those areas.
The survey results showed that many American business leaders view recent MBA graduates as being under-prepared in the areas of strategic communication and reputation management. The results also showed that many of the business leaders surveyed believe MBA programs lack sufficient emphasis on communications strategy and related leadership skills.
To help address this lack of training, PRSA's MBA initiative is a multi-year, collaborative effort to advocate the value of including foundational communications strategy in MBA programs. Ultimately, the program is intended to give MBA candidates a better appreciation of public relations' strategic value and help them understand the communications methodologies required for success in the future.
The program has the support of the Arthur W. Page Society, Council of Public Relations Firms and International Association of Business Communicators. Initial funding was provided by the PRSA Foundation, and ongoing financial and material support is being provided by MWW Group, Kelton Research, Hilton Hotels Corporation and Southwest Airlines.
About the College of Business Administration
In 2010 and 2011, The University of Texas at El Paso's Master of Business Administration (MBA) was ranked the No. 1 graduate business program for Hispanics in the nation by Hispanic Business magazine. The program is accredited by AACSB International — the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. Designed for students from a wide range of backgrounds, the program provides a dynamic international focus. By offering a menu of flexible schedules and class formats, the MBA Program meets the needs of full-time students and working professionals alike. Students bring professional perspectives to the classroom from industries ranging from health care, engineering and education to cross-border business. Today, the MBA program serves a diverse population of more than 400 students from more than 20 countries.
About the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA)
PRSA is the largest professional organization serving the U.S. public relations community. With a mission to "advance the profession and the professional," PRSA provides news and information, thought leadership, continuing education and networking opportunities; sets standards of professional excellence and ethical conduct; and advocates for the business value of public relations and greater diversity among public relations professionals. Based in New York, PRSA comprises 112 local Chapters; 14 Professional Interest Sections that focus on specific industries and practice areas; and the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), which is active at more than 320 colleges and universities.

He may not be pillaging and plundering his way across the seven seas, but Sir Stuffington the kitten has become the Internet's most popular pirate.
The one-eyed kitten was found with traumatic facial injuries and several diseases earlier this month near a Troutdale, Ore., home. The woman who discovered Sir Stuffington and his brothers took them in. Vets had to remove one of the kitten's eyes in order to help him recover.
Blazer Schaffer, who lives in the Portland area, then took Sir Stuffington in as a foster kitten for the Multnomah County Animal Shelter.
One day, Schaffer said her roommate dressed up the kitten in a hat and an eye patch to make him look like a pirate. A photo posted online of the buccaneer kitten went viral.
The roommates have since made prints and posted them for sale. The proceeds go toward the animal shelter to pay to treat all animals.
Schaffer said the response has been overwhelming.
"I think people just see him and see that he's been through so much in his short little life and he's still positive and happy and wants to live," she said.
"And he's insanely cute to look at. He looks like a little pirate," she said. He has a permanent snarl from a fractured jaw, Schaffer said.
In a few months, Sir Stuffington will have half of his teeth removed because they will eventually hurt his lip.
Once he has recovered, he will be put up for adoption.
Sir Stuffington also has his own Facebook fan page.

|Assistant Coach
|Fourth Season
Kolby O'Donnell is entering his fourth season as an assistant coach at UC Santa Barbara.
O'Donnell has been Welch's top assistant since arriving in Santa Barbara before the 2013 season. Along with helping guide the Gauchos to their 2013 Big West Championship, O'Donnell has also played a pivotal role in securing three top-30 recruiting classes in the past four years, including UCSB's No. 18 ranked 2015 recruiting class, which is the highest ranking in program history.
In the 2015 season, he helped Phoebe Grunt and Emilia Petrachi earn all-conference selections with each receiving honorable mentions.
In 2014, he helped guide Ali Barbeau to First Team All-Big West accolades, and Chanel Hoffman and Ali Spindt to honorable mentions.
O'Donnell helped guide UCSB to a Big West Championship and an NCAA Tournament appearance in his first year with the team in 2013. Working with outside hitters and middle blockers that year, he coached Ali Barbeau (OH), Phoebe Grunt (MB), and Ali Spindt (OH) to all-conference status.
He was hired as an assistant coach in March 2013 in Nicole Lantagne Welch's first staffing move at the head of the program.
O'Donnell takes on a number of responsibilities with the program. He serves as the defensive coordinator for the squad, organizing opponent scouting and blocking game plans. In practice, he mainly works with the outside hitters, opposites, liberos, and middle blockers. O'Donnell also serves as the recruiting coordinator for the program.
O'Donnell previously served as an assistant for Lantagne Welch at the University of Miami in 2012, where he helped the Hurricanes to a 25-6 overall record in what was one of the most impressive seasons in program history. Under Lantagne Welch and O'Donnell's tutelage, Miami won a program-record 17 conference games and finished within one game of the ACC Championship despite graduating three All-Conference players in 2011.
Prior to his stint at Miami, O'Donnell was on the staff at Appalachian State, serving as Assistant Coach from 2008-10 and as Associate Head Coach in 2011-12. O'Donnell also served as Recruiting Coordinator for the Mountaineers.
His first coaching stop was at Radford University, where he was an assistant from 2006-08.
O'Donnell's teams have had a propensity for rapid improvement when he is on the bench, especially in the blocking department. In 2012, Miami's middles averaged 2.90 blocks per set, a program record, including a whopping 23 block effort at Clemson. In 2009, Appalachian State finished thirteenth in the nation in blocks per set.
O'Donnell also had a successful playing career, captaining the Lees-McRae College Bobcats for four years, leading them to a 66-26 record.

The Filibuster
So, Manny is a Dodger? The entire world was sure he was heading
south but now he has joined an already cramped outfield in L.A. And, as if that wasn't enough, he has joined Joe Torre and Nomar out there! The
question is, will Manny being Manny fly in Tinseltown and can you think of
any other stranger storylines in the last few years?
— Allen
Ah, yes, the infamous Manny-being-Manny question. Will it fly? Will he be accepted by his new manager and teammates? To find out, I shook my Magic 8 Ball and it replied: "All signs point to yes".
But I already knew that to be the answer.
Admittedly, Manny Ramirez looks quite odd in Dodger blue; but I have to remind myself, Manny Ramirez looks odd in any uniform. He is an absolute nutcase reminiscent of one Space Man Bill Lee — an individual who goes out of his way to be quirky, weird, individualistic. I think Manny is inherently incapable of being anything other than an escalating characterization of himself.
And the fans love it — always have. That is why, as the years go by, his antics become more and more documented, loved, embraced. This is the man who forgot to cash a million dollar check that the Indians wrote him for his services because he didn't have time to go to the bank. This is the man who lolly-gags in left field and is revered for it. This is the man who David Ortiz labeled as: "One crazy mother-(bleep)".
Will it be weird seeing him next to Joe Torre and Nomar Garciaparra in the dugout? Sure. Will it be weird seeing Manny sitting next to anyone in the dugout? Absolutely. The man is a magnet for oddity — from high-fiving fans while making a play to writing signs expressing his desire to move to Green Bay, anything Manny does is just plain weird. Because of this, I think he is a perfect fit for the Dodgers and their organization.
Having lived in L.A. for a stretch, I can vouch for the oddity of their fans. Infamously, Dodger fans show up to the game late and leave early. In their defense, yes, traffic is rough in L.A., but it wouldn't take much to plan for such inconveniences so one could show up by first pitch. And it's sad to watch the mass exodus of fans heading for the freeway during the 7th inning stretch. Such collective disregard comes off as arrogant — a stigma I feel covers all L.A. sports teams. Like going to a Lakers game, it's a place to be seen.
So, given the mediocre-to-lukewarm state of Dodger fandom, will Manny being Manny fly in Tinseltown? I don't see why not. They love Jeff Kent and he's a complete ^sshole. But to make sure, I decided to check in with the ultimate Dodger fan, the barometer for all things Dodger blue, the lovely, expressive, illuminating Alyssa Milano. On her MLBlog, she wrote a nice piece on Manny, which clearly shows that they (Dodger fans) will accept whatever strange occurrences may come with his acquisition. I only hope that there are plenty to speak of by the end of the year, because I don't think Manny will be in Hollywood after the end of the season; the evil plottings of Scott Boras will see to that.
Strange a story as this is, is it really that strange when it's all said and done? No. Not really. Manny has been crying this same game for years; it was only a matter of time before it happened. There have been stranger storylines this year:
I Used to Smoke Crack but Now I Smoke Fastballs: The Josh Hamilton Story
I Could've Tagged Two Guys Out at the Plate on the Same Play but Dropped the Ball: The Ramon Castro Story
I Threw Five Wild Pitches in a Playoff Game and Now I'm a Rock-Star Centerfielder: The Rick Ankiel Story
But no story has been stranger than this made-for-TV minor league drama in which an unsuspecting, cute ballgirl makes the play of a lifetime, giving the likes of Spider Man and Endy Chavez a run for their money:
Take it or leave it folks, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

you can't get enough of youtube can't you Jeff? lol
i hear manny is in love with his new team. way to stick it to boston.
you know, the first thing that came out of the mouth of whoever does the play by play of the dodger's games was "manny being manny" when he hit his first homer in dodger blue. i was just like "wow, you've gotta be kidding me. can people kiss his *** any more?"
that video of the ballgirl was actually admittedly fake, but it looked pretty kool. it had me wondering. i don't think i've seen any team with a ballgirl [as opposed to a ballboy]. also, why aren't there any female umpires? i know not many girls would want to be one, but with this world, there has to be at least one that would like to be an ump. baseball ain't just for guys anymore [i'm part of the proof].
You're right, V. My YouTube addiction gets worse and worse every day. The Manny thing has gotten extremely old. I'm over it. As far as women in baseball, I'm all FOR it. Why don't you make a run? You'll have the full support of RSBS. I promise you that.
lol, i don't know if i would want to be an ump, but i always wanted to be a ballgirl or batgirl… but you like have to know somebody to be able to do that.
and, about the picture, i actually get my photos at yahoo sports and it didn't come with the border. i added that on a website that is sort of like an online photoshop, though muuuch simpler. i used it to edit that pic of the tire that looked kool lol. here's the link: http://www.picnik.com … it's a great photo editer.
nice vid there. but I've seen it on TV a zillion times. Nice book names, especially Ramon Castro's. I get to see Manny be Manny on the 11th, as part of my fantastic adventure (read about it on my latest post). maybe I'll get an autograph.
Hah! There's my URL!
Actually, the Nationals have ballgirls. Quite annoying really. They rarely make a clean scoop, but more annoying is the fact they give usually the ball to a girl who is eating Dippin Dots and playing on a cell phone, who has no idea of the two teams that are playing. I once had a quick conversation with a ballgirl last year. She said she got the job because her friend was in the front office, and informed her they needed ballgirls.
Here some more strange storylines:
"Who knew I could hit almost .260, if I just gave up switch-hitting? – the Nook Logan story,
"I'm the nicest restaurant in town, but all I serve is poop on a stick" – the PNC Park story
V — That is a good pic editor. Thanks for the advice.
NMYF — I know it's really fake; but I enjoy it just the same. Good concept. Have fun on your trip and don't let the Manny hysteria get to you.
Aaron — Nice story lines. Nook Logan… almost forgot about him, but how could I with a name like that?
You may forget: I am a Yankee fan. I am programmed to dislike Manny. Even if I was an A's fan, I wouldn't like Manny just because "Manny being Manny" is stupid.
I hate it when my leg falls sleep in the middle of the day, because that means it'll be up all night.

I have read the series. What one thing do I love the most... Luca? Nicky... I would have said Luca all the way and probably will again after Captive but Nicky's book was amazing, I didn't expect to like him as much as I did. I love Luca's attitude though, I'm a sucker for a bad boy ;)
I'm going to try and stay awake for the chat tonight

I have read the series and ordered the novella right away..I love this series! There is such loyalty between the brothers and they are not simple males! Even though each has their own "issues" they still manage to stay sincere to the beliefs they have and keeping their loved ones safe. I am so excited for Lucian. I think he is so complex, but I am always partial to Alexander. Awesome giveaway. Thank you for being a great firstname.lastname@example.com

Yes I have read the series. Bama loaned me her copy and told me to read it. Well I started and well before I knew it hubby was giving me hell for neglecting house chores. So I hoped on facebook and told her she made me not do my house chores. LOL.

I've read the series...and LOVE it! What's not to love? Hot vampire brothers, great story line & I love the humor/sarcasm in the dialogue.
My favorite brother is Alex, but I love all of the brothers & their sense of loyalty to one another. I read the novella, Eternal Blood, on it's release day & am so excited for the next book in the series! LW has done a great job building up the story & I'm curious to see how things develop in the battle of the Order, Impures, and the Breed. Awesome series!

I have read Eternal Hunger and Eternal Kiss and love the Roman brothers. While being very independant they are protective of each other. I also think it's cool how they do there own thing in not supporting the ruling Vampires. I'm looking forward to reading Eternal Blood and Eternal Captive.

Tutorial: How To Fix Broken Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette Eyeshadows + Tamping Technique!
Because the packaging's really cool, it was never my intention (not so soon, at least) to depot the eyeshadows from the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette. I could live with opening up the gorgeous purple plastic casing and admire the 20 shades in their full glory, but fate had to have it its way.
It was pure accident one fine day that the palette decided to slip from my hand and land on the floor with a sickening crash. The closed lid didn't spring open, but I could hear the deafening sound of shattered eyeshadows. Okie, I couldn't, but I knew damage was done.
I tried tamping the shattered crash victim back with my diamond-inspired Tamping Tool but the Vice 2 eyeshadows are much smaller than the tool.
(Full product list at the end of this post!)
So I dug Voodoo out.
For all my depotting projects, I use a nail/manicure tool and it is used specifically for dealing with makeup. I don't use it to dig dirt from my nails and then proceed to depot eyeshadows with it the next day. Ew!! Before I do anything, I make sure to sanitize the tool with Isopropyl Alcohol first.
The eyeshadows in Vice 2 are so loosely glued to the base. All that was needed was a little wiggle at the gap between the pan and plastic and Voodoo popped right out. No need for Isopropyl Alcohol to soften the glue, no need for a flat iron or oven to melt the glue.
There are some tutorials that show how to pry open the entire plastic casing, like how I similarly did for Kat Von D Beethoven Palette, thereby inevitably destroying the aesthetics of the palette. Let me tell you that there's no need for that. If you just want to depot some eyeshadows from Vice 2, simply drive a wedge (literally) and the pans will pop up easily.

Motorists helped police track a suspected hit-and-run driver until police could make an arrest Thursday afternoon.
Madison police said an SUV driven by Patrick M. Dolan, 43, of Sun Prairie, rear-ended a car driven by a 44-year-old Fort Atkinson woman at the intersection of South Stoughton Road and Pflaum Road after 4 p.m.
A witness told police the SUV was weaving onto gravel shoulders. It also stopped in the middle of Buckeye Road for no apparent reason and nearly collided head-on with two approaching vehicles while turning from Buckeye Road onto Sprecher Road, according to the witness.
Police said they pulled Dolan over on Sprecher Road just south of Wyalusing Drive and found him passed out behind the wheel.
Dolan's blood alcohol level was recorded at 0.374 using a breath test more than two hours after leaving the scene of the crash, according to police.
Dolan was arrested on suspicion of hit-and-run operating while intoxicated, following too closely, having open intoxicants in the vehicle and improper registration.

This isn't at all a slight on Lawson because i do think he's a good prospect but ofcourse he's going to be at the top of alot of these lists. He was a 3 year starter at UNC playing with a collection of future NBA players. He probably had 4-5 future pros on a his team last year. I figure JPZ could run the point at UNC and put up some solid assist numbers.
Evans is a freshman who didn't start playing the point guard position until January so alot of his stats aren't really gonnna look like pure point guards stats. Mainly because he probably isn't a true point guard.
Holiday was a freshman also who didn't play the point guard. Darren Collison was the senior point guard so Holiday was rarely asked to play the point. Can he play the point? Honestly i'm not sure but one thing is for certain he can defend the point and the 2 guard. He's pretty much a Russell Westbrook clone and from that perspective you have to like him. But again he was a Freshman so he didn't have the seasoning a player like Lawson had so of course the stats don't add up.
I'm not a Jennings fan at all but i still find the stat arguement from last year alittle lame when it comes to Jennnings. Jennings recieved sparadic playing time overseas against better competition. He's really a wildcard for a variety of reasons. Nobody other then Euro fans or scouts have seen him plus he has personality isssues.
Again its no knock on Lawson and everybody is entitled to their beliefs but i find the upside of Holiday, Jennings, Curry, and Evans above Lawson but if somehow we did trade down and get Lawson i wouldn't be upset.
And of course if Rubio is sitting there to be had its a no brainer to take him. Theres no arguing that.

Light and mighty.
The Smith Maze Helmet doesn't have a bunch of thingamajigs, jibjabs, and doodads, but it is a light, clean, and bombproof brain bucket that's designed to protect your head, so you can think about the next big booter, deep line, or double-kink that you're lining up. At just 12oz, it's the lightest fully certified snow helmet on the market, but it still comes with key features like a self-adjusting Lifestyle Fit System, Airflow Climate Control Vents, and removable, audio-compatible Snapfit SL2 earpads. Smith's AirEvac 2 goggle-compatible ventilation system prevents your goggles from fogging, and the PC plastic shell and EPS foam liner protect your medulla oblongata from getting rattled after a big hit.
- Lightweight in-mold construction
- EPS foam
- AirEvac 2 ventilation (nine vents)
- Airflow climate control
- Self-adjusting lifestyle fit system

Have questions about this product?
All Day Comfort
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I originally purchased the medium but swapped for a large to have a bit more room for a hat on cold days. Fits great, looks great, works well with my Smith goggles.
Light and Easy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
No frills. This helmet gets the job done. Definitely recommend measuring your head since the sizing is pretty spot on. As well, the adjustable fit system is nice to have for a more snug fit. The popping noise made me think I broke it at first but all is well in the world of Smith.
Rockin one for years
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't bother looking for a new helmet, I just buy another one of these every other season and have for almost 8 years now. Light, comfortable, and they work.
Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This helmet is super lightweight while still being very protective. Basic design that always looks great. For the price this is a hard helmet to beat.
Simple and Stylin'
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is my go-to helmet. I have not complaints at all. I followed the sizing chart and went up a size so I can fit a beanie under and it fits perfect. I forget it's on. Love your brain peeps!
Maze getting ready to go
Keeps my head together
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like this helmet, it's simple and good looking. Yes, I have hit my head with this helmet and it absolutely worked for me. I personally wear it over my beanie/goggles but you can go either way. I have a lg and it fits my 7 1/2 head great. Overall great product and I will be buying another next year.
Quality Brain Bucket
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this helmet after Bill Porreca one of the Backcountry.com gear heads recommended it. It lasted one season of hard skiing with a mix of on and off piste skiing. Great breathablility for the side-country and spring skiing but plenty warm for freezing temperatures. I enjoy the fit, it doesn't sit too high on my head. I purchased a large and it sits snug, but no pressure point that getting annoying through the day. Overall great helmet!
Minimalist with seamless integration
Heliski guide, have used the Maze for the last 6 years. It is a perfect ultra light weight, Low volume ( You don't feel like Kazoo with a huge head) minimalist design that integrates perfectly with any smith goggle. Easy to remove ear pads (I have to take them out to use the headset in the heli) just wear a buff or light hat under neath. I prefer the white as it stays cooler on the hot spring days. I hope they never change the design. It works perfect for my needs!
Saved my noggin from a nasty knock
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Decided to wear it on a spring skiing day when I would usually go without a helmet due to it being so warm. Caught an edge in a transition between slush and hardpack (shady spot) and fell backwards a lot farther than I normally am prepared for. I bonked right on the helmet and it really did save me from a concussion, I believe. Now I'm a committed believer!
Great, Light Helmet.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This helmet is one of the lighter ones out there, with simple features without getting into any unneccessary gimmicks. Fits true to size and looks good. If anything, one small downside is that ventilation isnt the best so it can get warm for those spring skiing days.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This helmet is extremely light and simple. There are little amenities to confuse the user or clutter the feel of the helmet. The ear pads come out easy and extra padding goes in easy. The helmet is stylish, true to size, and comfortable.
Best backcountry helmet ever
Why? Because it"s SO LIGHT! I wear a top of the line MIPS POC at the resort but it's way to heavy to slug around in the mountains. The maze is just so comfortable and light. Perfect for backcountry weight weenies.
excellent helmet
we bought one for our son who like it so much we had to buy another one for our other son. the fit is very comfortable and they stay warm in most conditions while not making you sweat on a spring day. I would definitely recommend to a friend.
My mom is stoked
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love the Maze helmet, it is relatively inexpensive compared to head injury bills, and will make your mom happy. It's pretty straightforward without any bells and whistles which I like, just one less thing to worry about so you can focus on snowboarding, like your vents being to the right setting or not. I would recommend not wearing a beanie underneath for sizing, and getting a thin full buff instead. That way you can wear it in the springtime when it gets hot and not have to worry about having a sloppy helmet. Drop in the Outdoor Research headphones so you can bump Snoop and get stoked!
best helmet i have used
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
this is my 3rd ski helmet, and it is by far the best I have bought. i removed the ears and inner lining, which on other helmets causes a good deal of "hat-wobble" (https://youtu.be/maAFcEU6atk?t=1m12s) but not on the maze - even with a beanie on, it stays in place all day. Ever important for those who prefer to minimize the gap btw helmet and goggles. Add to the fact that its very light and the chin strap actually works and is comfortable (whaaa?) and you got yourself a single quiver helmet!
Still the best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned several Maze Helmets over the years. I still love the low profile look, super light weight, and seamless fit with Smith's goggles. While not a specific multi-impact helmet, it can take a few dings without damaging the liner. I did compress the foam on one pretty wild crash, but suffered no injury or loss of consciousness. The Maze did it's job. The low cost and high quality made it a cinch that I'd replace that helmet with a new Maze. Highly recommended.
Low-profile, comfortable helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I bought this helmet to replace the big, bulky helmet I originally had. I wanted a helmet that wouldn't make my head look like a bug, and this does just that. It's super low-profile, fits great. The padding is really soft, comfortable, and warm. My head measured out to be a Women's Medium in most brand helmets, so I went with a Medium and it fits perfectly. I'm not giving 5 stars for two reasons -- one being that there is no screw adjuster for the circumference of helmet. You can choose between 3 different widths, and you have to take the helmet off and unsnap/snap the plastic straps to adjust. The benefit is that it cuts down on weight, but I found this to be a little annoying. My second qualm is that there are no slots for headphones in the earpads. Its great when helmets have them because you can listen to music/jam out without other people hearing but you don't have the safety issue/discomfort of headphones directly in your ears. Might be able to find a replacement insert with this feature, but I haven't looked yet. Overall, great helmet! If you're looking for a low-profile helmet that gets the job done, then this is the one for you.
Fits Great
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet barely weighs anything and fits well. I am learning to snowboard and having a comfortable helmet definitely gives me the confidence to push myself without ending up with a concussion whenever I catch edge and barrel roll down the mountain. I measured my head according to the size chart and it fits perfect. Win.
Solid Protection
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet is a great value. It's a comfortable fit, it looks great and, most importantly, it protects your head. I'm in the process of teaching myself to snowboard and I've taken a couple pretty bad bails from catching an edge and flopping downhill on my back and I haven't felt a thing. This is a great helmet for the money, especially if you have Smith goggles, as their goggles and helmets are designed to fit together very well.
One thing I would like to point out is the adjustment options. I ordered a large and when I first tried it on, I was disappointed because I thought I would have to exchange it because it was too small. After checking the adjustment, however, I was able to get a perfect fit for my head, so before you return it, make sure you have adjusted the helmet fully, as a loose helmet won't do much to protect your head.
Hello, is this helmet compatible with oakley airbrake goggles? the goggles are kinda bulky and it doesn't look like it will fit this helmet
The short answer is that yes the Maze Helmet is compatible with the Oakley Airbrakes. Smith Helmets integrate well with Oakley goggles in general from my experience and other customers' feedback. That being said there is a small chance the set-up will not be comfortable for some people, especially if you have a higher bridge on your nose, since the Maze could create pressure on your nose when they push the goggles down. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.
Will this helmet work with my outdoor tech speakers?
I'm not 100% positive since I don't know what outdoor tech speakers you have, but I would bet that they would work.
are the ear pads removable?
Does MIPS take up any room in helmets? I have a very large head and normally have to grind my helmet for a custom fit just to get it on. Either way, I tried a Maze XL helmet on that didn't have MIPS. If I order a Maze with MIPS will it fit exactly the same as one without?
Hey Tyler,
The MIPS technology does not change the fit of the helmets significantly as it is simply an additional safety standard designed to better protect your brain in an impact. Feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.

Does anyone know what Smith means when they say Asian Fit? Also is MIPS just more marketing lingo or is there something radically different in the helmet's construction to differentiate it from this version of Maze?
I don't know about Asian fit, but I can answer for MIPS. MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a new helmet technology that is starting to gain traction in the industry, and basically it helps reduce rotational impact on your brain due to an angled hit to your dome. I can't say exactly how the technology works, but I know that a lot of big companies are starting to include MIPS versions of their helmets. Something tells me it may become an industry standard in a few years, especially as more research into brain injuries comes out. Heres the MIPS website if you want to read more: http://www.mipshelmet.com/#what-is-mips. There's a lot of question about what kinds of helmets really do protect and what not. With my experience, as long as you're wearing some kind of skid lid, you're helping your brain out. Hope this helps
Thanks so much Maxwell. Your answer was very helpful.
