Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by Jens1893, Jan 4, 2008.
On page 3, right above the "Determining A True Champion" header, the article reads:
"Delany, the Big Ten commissioner, declined to be interviewed for this story, but recently told Sports Illustrated his conference's original decision to join the BCS "was not considered the first step toward a playoff, but the last step.""
What does that quote mean? It's got a very curmudgeon-ey tone to it, but when he said "the last step" was he intending to say "the last step before a playoff would come to exist" or "the last step, and by that I mean the definitive end to any discussion of a playoff ever existing in college football, even though my nearly indecipherable quote in no way makes that statement"?
From his past comments I would take it as the one and only step the B10 will make.
From everything I've heard, it's not the Pac 10, nor the Rose Bowl that is the major obstacle to the playoff. It's the Big 10.
I say screw them. Let them play their little game while the rest of college football does it right. They can become more irrelevant than they already are.
The only way we are going to have a playoff is if it makes financial sense to do it.
The article points out the reason ABC dropped the BCS bowls (other than Rose) was the declining viewership and the BCS's demand for more money. What the BCS gods didn't anticipate is that by matching 1 and 2 up it diminished the market value of the other three bowls. My guess is that ABC wanted Plus One to be like a playoff as part of the deal because it would have boosted ratings for all the bowls. We would have had another week of BCS computations and then big ratings going into the championship game.
I believe that TV ultimately will be the force that dictates to the BCS that we have a playoff. The BCS wants big TV contracts and that money will only come from the networks. The networks have to have good ratings or they will not buy in.
If that were truly the case, we would have had a playoff a long time ago. A 16-team playoff would generate gobs more money than the system they have now. 15 bowl games, all of them sold out with everybody watching on TV. The rest of the bowl games could still be played for the teams that didn't make the playoff.
It's simple, I know.
It's occured to me that we could legislate a playoff system. We could add a ballot initiative that forbids state public institutions from accepting any money or participating in any post season BCS event that does not involve a 16 team head to head playoff. Or something to that effect. That would make the Presidents and the Conferences have to come up with a new plan.
It would really only have to pass in Florida or California or Texas and that would be it. You get that on the ballot going into the fall election in a few big states and watch out BCS. It's sad that it would have to come to that.
There was not a single school that played in the BCS this year that would have been affected if such a law passed in those three states. USC is a private school. Neither Miami, Fla, or Florida State was in the BCS and neither was Texas or A&M.
Your right that it would not effect private schools. I'm saying that this would require a coordinated effort and must be placed on the ballot of multiple states but those three big states would clinch the deal.
It is the bowl committees that are the problem. A tournament takes away their reason to exist.
Thats why I like the ballot initiative that is voted on by the public at large. This whole issue is tangled up in a quagmire of money, power, and politics. The public is not a slave to those issues and what they want will either preserve the current system or erase it forever.
A real tournament would and national championship game would do it. I think a marketing firm offered the NCAA over $100M for the rights a couple of years ago.
I think this is a good approach. It reminds me of the NCAA and NIT tourneys in college basketball. If you are good enough you make it to the big dance if not you still get a carrot for a respectable season. Those "lesser" bowls might not have the broad appeal but loyal fans would still support them and I think there would be more tv revenue than a person might think.
The one thing that is really evident right now is the current system isn't really what most fans want which is ironic because w/o fan support they are nothing.
OK, so we have ABC/ESPN on the outside looking in at this point. What's to stop them from bidding on a tournament format? If ABC offers a payout to 15 different bowl games of some insane figure like a billion dollars, who's to stop those bowls from falling in line? It's not like ABC/ESPN doesn't have the money. They're part of Disney. They have more money than God. I would think even the Rose Bowl would have to sit up and take notice at something like that. If the Rose Bowl is offered $50MM to host the national semifinal game, don't you think they'd be tempted to throw tradition out the window?
Again I ask, why does the Rose Bowl get special treatment? Why do they get to negotiate their own contract?
The Rose Bowl is the Notre Dame of college bowls. They think they're special. In reality, they're just another big bowl game.
In theory they could but the bowl committee would have to give up all power. IMHO it would be better to abandon the bowls then to try and work with them. The 'bowls' are so much more than a place to play.
What power do the bowl committees have anyway? All they do is choose which two teams are going to the game. It's not like that would be completely stripped from them. And remember that they'd be getting a boatload of money. Using the Rose Bowl as an example, if they were given the choice of hosting the national championship game or hosting a 2nd round game that would in all liklihood provide a B-10 and a Pac-10 team, which would they choose? Leave that up to them, I guess.
I'd prefer to incorporate the existing bowls into the playoff system. They already know how to put on a football game pretty well. Why not take advantage of that expertise?
Bowl committees have a huge budget and are major jock-sniffing organizations. This is old-school money and local businesses. The business 'sponsors' the bowl. The bowl puts the CEO on the committee. He gets to scout several games charged to the bowl committee every year. He also gets to pick people on his group to help 'scout' the possible teams [he gets to pick ex-jocks and business associates to take with him to the games]. IMO none of this is really needed but has been done for years.
I believe someone tried to get Miami and Penn State to play each other for a couple mil each back in the 90s when they split a mNC. I also believe that the bowls had or now have language that prohibits such a venture with the conferences and teams in the contracts. Both Miami and PSU were independents I believe so there was a possibility.
PSU and fuskers in 1994. PSU was locked into the Rose and the fuskers were locked into the Orange.
This helped bring about the BCS because the sympathy vote for CTO when most thought PSU had the better team.
Your sig sucks, BC.
Check that. It was 1989 when Notre Dame and Miami (remember who we beat?) split the title. There was some private money that tried to organize a head to head meeting to settle it.

"My cats love these. They are quick and simple to make. For anyone unfamiliar with the yarn that is suggested for the pattern, it is a fingering weight, 4 ply yarn that is 100 percent cotton. I used worsted weight and a 3.5mm hook for mine, so I wouldnt have to worry about the cats pulling the stuffing out through any holes."

"This is absolutely stunning! I love it. I love vintage China and this is one way to display it. For my own personal taste I would use less pieces in the back, or even paint the background to make it pop more, and use the broken pieces on,y around the border as a type of frame. But that's just me. Alternatively, using less cups and just feature a ew with the broken pieces may set them off better. But all in all this is a great idea and display! Love it!"

Learning how to make friendship bracelets isn't hard, but it can be repetitive. Try something different and give your friend a Cupcake Friendship Bracelet with instructions from Maria Nerius. The paper cupcake cut outs make this bracelet extra!
- Dyi Wood Bangle bracelet
- Mini cupcake punch
- Plaid silver and gold metallic paints
- Assorted coordinating papers
- Brush
- Paper Glue
- Mod Podge
- Pink mini embellishing jewels
- Have some fun picking out your papers to punch into cupcakes. The gold base bracelet used a silver metallic textured paper giving a real look to the bottom half of the cupcake. For the silver based bracelet I used glitter papers for the frosting part of the cupcake for extra sparkle. This is a great project to use up all your scraps!
- Basecoat the bracelets with gold and silver paint or your own choice of color. Apply a second coat if needed. Allow paint to dry.
- You'll need 8 cupcakes per bracelet. Punch tops and bottoms. Adhere to bracelet with paper glue. You'll want to center the cupcakes or have some fun turning them this and that way. Since there was a slight curve to my bracelets, I
needed to glue each piece, press and hold it down for about a minute for the glue to set. Apply all the cupcakes, add a jewel to the top for the cherry, and allow the glue to dry completely.
- Apply several thin coats of Mod Podge to the entire bracelet. This gives a decoupage look and protects the paper. Allow each coat to dry completely before another is added. Thin coats give a more polished look to your bracelets than one thick coat.

These images are the first draft of the upcoming release of Mayor: the case of the theftless thief, series 1 of the Mayor series. Check out the Mayor playlist on Spotify.
graphica – fantastica – medieval
English consultant and graphic novelist
Since leaving the higher education sector I've been focussed on thinking about education more holistically – I'm particularly interested in the interface between education and media, but I want to understand better how we can bring our traditional educational institutions to embrace the possibilities that the network and media are opening up. We need to reinvent education to suit the nature of our working lives, and our need to engage in routine lifelong learning. I use my research and writing skills to explore these issues. I consult on education issues and assist postgraduate students with their theses.
As an artist, my new project is Mayor, a graphic novel set in thirteenth century Spain. You can find out more about these activities in my blog: geniwate.com.

Ripoff Report
Royal Dutch Nursery1704 South Morissey Drive Bloomington, Illinois USA
Royal Dutch Nursery late shipment, dead plants (no wrapping on roots) Bloomington Illinois
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
On February 15, 2014, I placed an order for about $100 worth of bulbs and plants. I knew that they would not be shipped until early March. By late March, I began to call and inquire, since we live in southern Georgia and it was time to plant. We were told over and over that they would ship when the time was right to plant.
The shipment, which had left on April 15, arrived today (April 19) via USPS. The "yoshino cherry" was shipped with no protection to the roots, which were absolutely dry. The tree was broken, revealing a cambium layer with no green tint to it, telling me that it was already dead when shipped. Two other plants are in terrible shape, but may be salvagable.
The call center informed me that if I would send the cherry back at my own expense, they would send a replacement. It is so late here in Georgia that, by the time a replacement came, even alive, it would be too late to plant. So I asked for a refund, which also requires (says company policy) shipping the dead stick back at my expense. I filed a complaint with Visa. I was a first time customer for Royal Dutch Nurseries. I will not buy from them again.

If sources close to Emmnuel Emenike and former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria are anything to go by, another footballer and MBGN queen wedding seems to be brewing up. Both of them are reluctant to confirm the Rumours making the round. However, Emenike posted a photo of the beauty queen hugging him from behind at his home at Chevy View Estate in Lekki, on his Instagram page but quickly removed it when people began asking questions…but not before it was screen-grabbed. Then Iheoma posted a photo of him on her Instagram page to wish him a happy birthday and also deleted it but not before it was screen-grabbed. Only time would tell if they are truly dating.

Does Miami Beach Need A Reality Check On Racism? By Daniel Rivero • May 29, 2013 Sammy Mak / WLRN When WLRN put out a call last week asking Miami Beach residents if they were staying or leaving during Urban Beach Weekend, the overwhelming majority said that they would be leaving until Monday or Tuesday. Among the most frequently cited reasons for the exodus: a recent history of violence, traffic and noise, along with the event bringing a "bad crowd" into town. Hialeah Mom Says Urban Beach Week Keeps Locals Away By Michelle Padron • May 26, 2013 Wikipedia Commons In preparation for Urban Beach Week, WLRN-Miami Herald News asked members of the Public Insight Network to weigh in on the festival. No Super Bowl For You! By Elaine Chen • May 24, 2013 On The Florida Roundup today at noon: Dolphins Stadium The Florida Legislature balked on proposed renovations to Miami Dolphins stadium. A public referendum (already in progress) on the renovations was called off. And to make matters worse, the NFL denied South Florida a Super Bowl. Oklahoma Tragedy Urban Beach Week "Gets A Bum Rap," Says South Beach Resident By John Ermer • May 24, 2013 Photo via Flickr In preparation for Urban Beach Week, WLRN-Miami Herald News asked members of the Public Insight Network to weigh in on the festival. Two Visions Of New Miami Beach Convention Center Emerge By Christina Veiga & Andres Viglucci • May 15, 2013 bizjournals.com In their first fully fleshed-out presentations on Tuesday, the developers competing to redevelop the Miami Beach Convention Center area described a vibrant new urban district of interconnected green spaces and cultural opportunities anchored by cutting-edge designs — even as they crossed swords over which plan would yield more benefits to the city at a better cost. New Plan Preserves Jackie Gleason Theater In Miami Beach By Christina Veiga • Apr 24, 2013 facebook.com/SaveTheFillmore One of the most contentious aspects of the plan to redevelop the Miami Beach Convention Center has been settled: The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater will stay. The theater had been slated for demolition by Portman-CMC, one of the two teams still in the running for the massive overhaul project. But with music and history lovers lined up in support of saving the theater, the team said that its plan has changed. "We listened to the community," said Jack Portman, vice chairman of Portman Holdings and John Portman & Associates. True Story: a Hotel Heir, His Seductive Wife, and a Ruthless Murder at Miami Beach's Fontainebleau By Joseph Cooper, Bonnie Berman & Paul Leary • Apr 16, 2013 http://johnglatt.com/ 04/16/13 - Tuesday's Topical Currents looks at the saga of the famed Miami Beach Fontainebleau Hotel, and the events which ended the lives of its "matriarch" and her son. Ben Novack, Junior, was raised in sumptuous Fontainebleau suites. When the family lost the hotel, he took a second wife: Narcy. She was an exotic dancer who performed in Hialeah. Years later, Narcy Novack executed a plot to kill her widowed mother-in-law and husband to gain their estates. Thousands Celebrate Gay Pride In Miami Beach By Allison Goodman • Apr 14, 2013 Jason Pier in DC / Flickr Miami Beach is usually pretty colorful. Art Deco buildings boast vivid shades of pink and turquoise. Bright green palm trees line the streets year-round. But this weekend the city is awash in every color of the rainbow in celebration of Miami Beach Gay Pride, and if last year is any indication, that means a massive throng of at least 60,000 people could flood Ocean Drive. Miami Beach's Frumpy Convention Center Is Going To Get A Facelift By Ashley Lopez • Dec 14, 2012 iJammin /Flickr The Miami Beach Commission is finally going to let investors, developers and architects renovate the Beach's old and frumpy looking convention center. The convention has been the site for some big events in the city. For example, Art Basel has been hosted at the center for the past few years. But even though some hot events are hosted there, the convention center has maintained its old and outdated look. That's about to change, though. Careful What You Ask A Fortune Telling Dog By Arianna Prothero • Dec 11, 2012 Arianna Prothero "The Black Lords" installation at Lords Hotel emerged as one of the crowd favorites from Art Basel week. Artist Desi Santiago was the man behind the epic-sized installation that featured a giant black dog wrapped around the Lords Hotel. Called Gypsy, she breathed smoke and shot lasers from her eyes. Gypsy also told fortunes. People wrote their questions on cards, dropped them into a box and then learned the answer as Gypsy boomed a "yes," "no" or "maybe." How To Get Your Fortune Told By A Giant, Smoke-Breathing Dog By Arianna Prothero • Dec 8, 2012 Arianna Prothero One of the great things about Art Basel week in South Florida is you get to see a lot of strange things in the form of both art and people. After a few Basels, you may start to feel like you've seen and done it all. But I'll bet you've never had your fortune told by a gigantic, smoke-breathing dog named Gypsy. Artist Desi Santigo has created an epic-sized installation at the Lords Hotel on South Beach. Called "The Black Lords," it is a giant, inflated black dog with glowing red eyes wrapped around the outside of the hotel. Untitled Art Fair: New Kid On The Basel Block By Arianna Prothero • Dec 8, 2012 Arianna Prothero The UNTITLED art fair is the new kid on the Basel block. It's the event's first year. The fair itself has a distinctly South Florida feel to it. The large, airy white tent has soft, filtered lighting and looks out over the ocean. Adding to the Miami vibe are the girls wandering around promoting various kinds of alcohol by handing out freebies. Among them were the Hendricks gin girls, Jacqueline Sanabia and Kezia Linden, who, I thought, were wearing some pretty snazzy little hats. How To Basel: Aqua Hotel Is An Art Basel Oasis By Arianna Prothero • Dec 7, 2012 Arianna Prothero There is a lot to do in Miami during Art Basel so you may not want another item added to your list of "must sees." Nevertheless, consider including this fair: Aqua Art Miami at the Aqua Hotel on Collins and 15th Street in Miami Beach. The fair has a laid-back vibe, lots of art and a good-sized crowd that feels happening without being claustrophobic. So, You Like Space Flight? Naked People? Doggies? Art Basel Has Something For All By Elaine Chen • Dec 6, 2012 Elaine Chen Often "Art Basel" is used as shorthand for the many arts events that coincide with the Art Basel fair itself, which takes place inside the Miami Beach Convention Center. But throughout Miami, galleries and artists are exhibiting their work so there really is something for everyone this week. Below is a small sampling for various persuasions.

IUPUI waives application fee for IPS students
IUPUI will waive its application fee for IPS students, the school announced Monday.
The free admission application will begin with IPS students who graduate next spring and apply for admission to the university in the fall of 2015.
"Waiving the application fee for all IPS students promotes access to a college education, making the process easier on students and their families," said Nasser Paydar, executive vice chancellor and chief academic officer at IUPUI.
IPS Superintendent Lewis Ferebee said the waiver was "wonderful news" for students in his district.
"IUPUI joins us in promoting the philosophy that post-secondary education is a platform that offers young people stronger opportunities to excel in life," Ferebee said. "It is evidenced in many ways that IUPUI is a strong supporter of Indianapolis Public Schools; waiving the application fee further illustrates their ongoing commitment to our students' success."
The move goes along with a plan IPS announced May 27 to provide free meal to all of its students. IUPUI waives the application fee for students from districts who received free and reduced-price meals.
"Waiving the application fee for IPS students reinforces our commitment to community schools," said Chris Foley, director of undergraduate admissions at IUPUI. "IUPUI has a number of institutional partnerships with IPS, and this seems like a natural thing to do. We would like to see as many students from IPS take advantage of it as possible."

Adam Gase's decision not to interview to be the Cleveland Browns coach was a matter of timing and was not affected by the perceptions of the Browns.
That's the word from Gase, who spoke in New Jersey at Super Bowl interviews, with transcripts provided by the NFL.
"My decision was strictly because we went (to) the playoffs," Gase told the assembled media at the Super Bowl. "It would have been hard for me to change gears that fast, especially once we beat San Diego (in the Division Round)."
Gase was one of the first people the Browns asked to interview. He initially put off interviews until the Broncos were eliminated from the playoffs, then decided not to interview as the Broncos advanced.
He said the external noise and criticism did not affect his thinking.
"I can't speak for everybody else, what their thoughts were," Gase told the assembled media. "That wasn't what I was thinking."
Gase pointed out that the timing in hiring a staff and coordinating draft and scouting would have been difficult had he waited until early February.
"After this game, we're like two weeks from the combine," he said. "The turnaround is going to be unbelievable."
It's admirable. Gase simply wanted to concentrate on his team, his players.
"My mindset was on what we wanted to do to get to this point here to try and finish this off," he said. "I just remember how I felt last year after we lost that Baltimore game. Me personally, I would not have been able to forgive myself if something would have happened that first playoff game. I felt like I didn't spend enough time doing what God needed me to do to fulfill my role."

A Note for MeMature
When the call came in, my stomach churned, bile rose, the throbbing pain in my head started to gain momentum. Victim number four. I didn't want to look, I already knew what I was going to see. This time, there was a difference, a note, for me. My face was hot as I walked through the throng of police and detectives. One question entered my mind, why me?
A note. For me, without reading the darn thing I knew it wasn't going to enlighten me, I knew it was going to be a game, created by a sick mind, I would be expected to play, incinerate my brain and then be exposed to the derisive criticism of someone playing god. I didn't want to play. I didn't need this crap.
Sometimes, I found myself thinking... Why didn't god just strike them dead, course, in my burning brain, I could picture one of the sleazy, bleeding heart lawyers trying to put god away, it was almost funny, almost.
The note was an education in biblical literature, it spoke of the "Samaritan harlot" the "religious harlot" it spoke of Rahab which obviously was a good harlot, ending with a detailed explanation of HIS WORK and why HE was ASSIGNED this job.
The explanation also included a name, "AMELIA" his mother, a sister? Then, a word that had so many meanings,, "porneia" (Greek), any unlawful sexual act. He narrowed it down, he was doing the work of GOD,, eradicating the earth of the filthy harlotS, he felt, the harlots did not deserve the gift of life. They did not appreciate Jesus blood gift to them. And he ended all of this with the signature, THE MESSIANIC AVENGER. My headache had intensified.
I sent the note to the lab. He had signed it, I wanted to have it checked for prints and get a profile on the handwriting. Instinctively, I knew he would never leave any prints. So I sit down to eat dinner, "VICTIM NUMBER FIVE"

The U.S. men's epee won a team silver at the FIE world fencing championships in Paris. Ben Bratton, Seth Kelsey, Cody Mattern and Ben Ungar were seeded 12th in a field of 32 teams, but quickly moved up in the ranks. They defeated the Czech team, 45-34, then upset 5th-seeded China, 40-39. In the quarterfinals, the team beat fourth-seeded South Korea, 39-35. And in a day full of upsets, they beat Hungary, the top-seeded team in the world, 45-38.
In the gold-medal match the United States faced France, the home team. After the lead changed several times, the U.S. lost in the last encounter 45-36. This is the first medal won by a U.S. men's epee team at the world championships. They are USA TODAY's athletes of the week.
Also receiving consideration this week:
The U.S. women's hockey team lost to Canada 3-2 in overtime in the final of the 2010 4 Nations Cup. Canada took an early lead (at 16:46). In the second period, Julie Chu and Kendall Coyne both scored putting the U.S. ahead, 2-1. But Canada came back and tied the game on a power play. There was no score in the third period and the game went to overtime. At 6:21 in the extra period, Rebecca Johnston scored for Canada.
Finland edged Sweden 2-1 to win the bronze medal.
Speedskater Shani Davis has started this World Cup season off on the right foot. The two-time Olympic gold medalist won the 1,500m race in 1:45.04, beating the Netherlands' Simon Kuipers (1:45.48). Mark Tuitert, also of the Netherlands, was third (1:45.95). This was Davis' second straight World Cup win.
He won the men's 1,000m race earlier with a time of 1:08.40, beating the Netherlands' Stefan Groothuis (1:08.51) and Simon Kuipers (1:08.68). The USA's Trevor Marsicano was fourth (1:08.97).
The U.S. cross country ski team is having a strong pre-season. Kris Freeman won the men's classic 10K race in Finland with a time of 25:30.40, 12 seconds ahead of Germany's Tobias Angerer. Martin Jaks of the Czech Republic was third. The team has a final pre-season race next weekend.
Timothy O'Donnell finished third at the Ironman World Championship in Clearwater, Fla. He was 10th after the swim but made up time in the bike and run to finish the 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike and 13.1-mile run in 3 hours, 44 minutes, 18 seconds. In all five Americans finished in the top 10. Kevin Collington was eighth in 3:47:32 and Matt Reed was ninth in 3:48:13. Germany's Michael Raelert was first (3:41:19) and Filip Ospaly from the Czech Republic was second (3:42:56).
On the women's side, Great Britain's Jodie Swallow won with a time of 4:06:28 and Leanda Cave was second (4:12:34). Canada's Magali Tisseyre finished third (4:13:04). The USA's Amanda Stevens was fourth (4:13:32) and Heather Jackson was fifth (4:17:08).

By collecting the aluminum tabs from your soda (and other) cans and turning them in to our House, you help care for families while their children receive much-needed medical treatment. We typically earn more than $20,000 per year to help support our families.
This is an easy and fun project for schools, clubs, office or other large groups, as well as individuals and families. All you need are a few collection containers and a lot of enthusiasm.
Save your tabs in any container you can find, such as milk jugs, coffee or Pringles cans, Ziploc bags, boxes, or plastic containers. Use your artistic talents to decorate your containers. We're happy to drop a few collection stickers in the mail for you or you can download a wrapper (see right). Stop in to purchase small tab houses for just $.25 each. (Sorry, houses cannot be mailed.) Make collecting fun and be sure to place your container in a visible location.
Tabs can be dropped off at our House any day between 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. or visit a Cohen recycler near you. Please contact us in advance if you would like to arrange a tour when you stop by our House.
We do not recommend mailing tabs, as the postage costs would outweigh the value of the tabs. Not sure if your tabs are aluminum? Use a magnet to check. Aluminum is not magnetic.
Ronald McDonald House is not able to sign any community restitution or court ordered paperwork.
Download our Tab Program flyer, click here.
WHO can enter?
All tri-state area K-12 schools are eligible to participate. (Registration is encouraged, but not required.)

WHEN does the contest end?
Our contest ends on EARTH DAY weekend (Sunday, April 23, 2017). (Any tabs turned in after that deadline will count toward the next year's totals.)
HOW do you get started?
Just start collecting! All you need are a few collection containers and a lot of enthusiasm.
WHY do we collect tabs?
Aluminum tabs are recycled, and all the money earned helps ensure a "home away from home" for the families of children being treated at Cincinnati Children's and other nearby hospitals.
Donate your tabs, whole cans, other metals and even electronics at Cohen recycling centers!
Cohen's drive through recycling centers accept all of these items for the benefit of our House. You'll complete a donation sheet on the spot so that your organization can be properly credited for the donation.

"I wanted stickers to seal Valentine's treat bags for class - This design is perfect for boys, as most are quite girly (not that there's anything wrong with that!)."
"We used these for my sons classroom valentines, he Loves dinosaurs and isn't really into Valentines day until he saw all the candy - I stuck them on a bag of heart candies instead of attaching a valentine card and it was so much easier! No tape, no signing his name, and so him! Loved these!"

"For such a little gift tag, this packs a punch! When I first opened, I must admit these tags took my breath away. So pretty and so perfect for a 6-year dol gift tag. Makes life a little easier knowing I can wrap take-home gift in simple cellophane bag with ribbon and this tag. Love it!"
"nice & modern. this was hip and trendy without going overboard. The colors printed nicely. I chose the blue. Definately recommend!"

Posted Wed 01 Jul 15 at 03:03 AM
United have only themselves to blame ...
A second half fight back proved to be too little too late as confident Northampton made the best of their chances to extend their run to 13 games unbeaten at the expense of a home side who wasted some good openings along the way.
The nippy Derek Asamoah had Smith worried as United got the ball forward early but the keeper was out of his box quickly to hook the through ball away.
Determination from Grainger twice put him in possession inside the visiting half and another neat through ball left Asamoah with just one to beat. He dropped a shoulder and ignored the calls from Ibehre as he dragged a poor effort wide.
Northampton sent a warning message of their own when a huge ball forward bounced inside the box. Collins threw a leg at it and Gillespie had to go full length to fingertip it past the upright.
The Cobblers went close again when a Byrom free kick dropped nicely at the back stick. Buchanan showed first and his glanced header had to be plucked out of the air by the alert United stopper.
Carlisle showed they could be just as effective with their set pieces when Grainger bent a lovely ball into the six-yard box. Raynes stretched but it stuck under his feet and Smith was able to scoop it up before it could cross his line.
Ibehre had a finish from a lovely move chalked off for offside on the quarter hour, and Northampton pounced to make it count with a quick ball to Martin. He stepped inside and sent a cross into the box which Collins nodded into the net from close range.
United should have been back on level terms almost immediately when Ibehre pulled wide to deliver the cross. It looked to be perfect for Kennedy but he somehow touched his volley wide as he rose to meet it.
Long range efforts from Holmes and Buchanan followed as Northampton settled into a stride, but Carlisle went close when Grainger combined with Joyce and Hery to get to the edge of the area. He spotted Ibehre on the move but the big striker couldn't quite get enough on it as he sent a volley on the move into the side netting.
Carlisle were guilty of switching off for the second phase of another free kick when a half clearance was whisked back into the box. O'Toole helped it on and two deflections left Gillespie with no chance as it spun agonisingly past his outstretched leg.
Lady luck completely deserted the home side again at the other end as they tried to respond in kind when a Grainger cross came to Hery. He set it for Joyce to strike and a powerful shot struck Diamond and screwed past the target.
A raking 40-yard pass from Ellis brought yet another good chance as Prosser lost the flight of the ball, but Asamoah hesitated and it skipped off the surface before he could react. Ellis then had to do his defensive duties as Marquis pulled across the 18-yard box to take a pot-shot. It was heading in until the defender got his thigh in the way.
Asamoah bulged the side netting with a near post header from a Grainger corner as United kept trying to up the pace, but the half ended with more frustration as Hery and Buchanan went into the book for a tussle on the touchline.
A double substitution after the break had an immediate impact as Jabo Ibehre found himself with time on his hands on the right hand side of the 18-yard box. He took two touches and fizzed a fantastic cross into the area and the first touch of the day for Hallam Hope was a lovely strike which angled into the roof of the net.
Tails were up and Asamoah twisted and turned following more good work from Hope as he tried to find a way through. He had support but he lost his balance and popped his shot past the post.
Carlisle had only themselves to blame when their resurgence was derailed when a weak Holmes pass was allowed to skip unchallenged into the box. O'Toole slid in to apply the slightest of touches to help it on its way into the back of the net.
A thunderbolt from Martin wasn't too far away to adding to the lead, but Gilliead went close at the other end with a 35-yarder which dipped into the stands.
Gillespie had to be at his best when Marquis burst through one-on-one, but he needed help from Grainger when the same player pounced on the loose ball from the rebound to try to sweep it into the waiting net.
It was end-to-end and Raynes wasn't too far away when he jumped to meet a set piece from Grainger. The clearance from that was picked up by Atkinson and Raynes was even closer as he guided a header on the leap over the angle of post and bar.
A bad day became an afternoon to forget for the hosts when they were carved open with some fast play. Collins crept into the box and smashed a screamer into the far corner as Gillespie tried in vain to get a touch.
Smith saved from Raynes when his header threatened to go in from a Grainger free kick, and Kennedy claimed a goal, ignored by the officials, as he hooked it back at the keeper from a very tight angle. It hit a shoulder and the underside of the bar before the stopper was able to recover and pull it into his chest.
Hope had a shot from the left flank late in the day which went straight at Smith, but the leaders saw the job out as they protected their points gap at the top of the table.

Patrick Sherrington, global co-head of litigation, arbitration and employment at Hogan Lovells, has commented on the Ministry of Justice's (MoJ) Plan for Growth, which outlines the achievements of ministry's efforts to date in promoting the importance of the UK's legal services sector abroad and sets out a blueprint for its next steps over the coming year.
He said: 'As a global law firm we are very supportive of efforts by the MoJ to strengthen ties abroad, particularly in Brazil, Russia and India. London is a global centre for complex dispute resolution and a number of high-profile cases in 2012 shone a spotlight on our capabilities here. The rule of law is not as strong as it should be in a number of key jurisdictions and the English courts continue to be seen to offer guarantees of impartiality and fairness not always available in other jurisdictions.
'There is no room for complacency however, as there remain challenges in liberalising the market for legal services for instance but any efforts to promote UK legal services should undoubtedly be applauded.'
The Plan for Growth was launched by Chris Grayling and states that the UK legal services sector contributed £20.9bn to the UK economy in 2011 and sets out 11 action points for how government has taken on a more proactive role in promoting legal services.
The key messages from the report are:
- Promotion of the UK's legal services sector — a unified approach to strengthen the UK's offer and reputation as a world leader in legal services
- Attracting talent — attracting the brightest talents from around the globe to study law and undertake professional qualifications in the UK
- Liberalisation of the market overseas — working across the network of UK embassies, high commissions and consulates to liberalise legal services and promote the UK legal services sector
TheCityUK has also launched its Legal Services report, providing analysis of the strength of London as an international centre for legal services, including data relating to the contribution of legal services to the UK economy.

"The Sensitive Man" is a science fiction novella by American writer Poul Anderson, first published in the January 1954 issue of Fantastic Universe and reprinted in the 1981 collection The Psychotechnic League. The story is a component of the Psychotechnic League future history, and takes place in the year 2009, between "Un-Man" and "The Big Rain".
Plot summary[edit]
Michael Tighe of the Psychotechnic Institute has been kidnapped by Thomas Bancroft, a politician with ties to an authoritarian movement called the Actionists. Tighe's adopted son, Simon Delgatty, sets out to find him, but is himself captured by Bancroft and taken to his base on an island off the coast of Mexico. In the course of raising Delgatty, Tighe has trained him to exert conscious control over what are normally subconscious and autonomic brain functions. This allows Delgatty to speed up or slow down his metabolism at will, and also allows him to tell what other people are thinking by listening to them subvocalize their thoughts.
Delgatty escapes from Bancroft's control, and forms an uneasy partnership with Elena Casimir, an undercover FBI agent who has infiltrated Bancroft's organization. Together, Delgatty and Casimir free Tighe and take Bancroft prisoner, then return to the United States. Bancroft will be imprisoned for kidnapping, but the leader of the Actionists, Bertrand Meade, is still free to continue his secret war against the Psychotechnic Institute.

Isn't it strange?
How a book sits
Patiently on a shelf
For its pages to be turned
To share its knowledge
Or divulge its secrets.
And isn't it funny?
That each person
Who turns its pages
Finds different knowledge
And different secrets
Even though
The book remains the same.

Check this out: The Red Bud KTM/FMF Motocross Fan Experience is sold out! Earlier this month, KTM and FMF partnered together to bring motocross fans the ultimate viewing experience, which means all-day pit passes, free parking, free catered lunch, free T-shirt, VIP viewing area, track walk, special autographs session… Anyway, it sold out for Red Bud, but if you plan on attending the Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross Championship season finale at Steel City on September 5, tickets are still available. Tickets are only $60! For tickets to Steel City please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or visit your local KTM dealer.
The Fourth of July is my favorite holiday of the year, and a lot of that has to do with the history behind the day. Unfortunately for me, I'm normally out of town at Red Bud on the Fourth. But luckily, as the fan of history that I am, I also know that the Continental Congress actually voted to declare independence from England on July 2nd. So, I get to celebrate on the REAL Independence Day, and normally I am home for that. The text of the Declaration of Independence, originally written by Thomas Jefferson, but edited by him, Ben Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston, was later debated and revised by Congress, and after they officially voted for independence on July 2nd, they finalized the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, which is generally the day people consider to be Independence Day. But not being one who worries about being different, I actually think Independence Day should be the day that the Continental Congress actually voted for independence, and that was July 2nd. So, Happy Independence Day yesterday, folks!

No one really knows what to expect from Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose when he eventually returns after rehabbing his surgically repaired ACL. Rose could be out until February or beyond, meaning the Bulls will have to start the season the same way they ended their last one — without their best player. When he does eventually return, you have to wonder if Rose will be the same dominant force he was pre-injury. Kevin Durant doesn't envision it being a problem. "I know he's going to get back stronger and better," Durant said Tuesday night according to The Oklahoman. "I've been praying for him, of course. And I've been watching the (workout) videos online, so I'm sure he's going to have a really, really nice comeback here for the Bulls and be at full strength. "I think he'll be better. With all that weight training he's doing, strengthening his body and his core, he's doing everything he needs to do." Rose is only 24 years old and is the future of the Bulls, so the team would gain nothing from rushing him back. We know the injury has been incredibly hard on Rose, as was evident when he compared it to being close to dying over the summer. If anyone can come back stronger than ever from such an injury, Rose would be the guy to do it. Here's hoping Durant's prediction is right for the sake of the NBA.

Nvidia is said to plan SLI 2
According to the latest rumors Nvidia is planning to establish a new brand: SLI 2. Actually this is normal SLI combined with Physx.
SLI (Scalable Link Interface) is old hat: In this multi GPU technology up to four GPUs work together to render a 3D image. Physx respectively CUDA isn't widespread in games yet, but Nvidia is pressing ahead with the development and commercialization.
With Unreal Tournament 3 a popular game is supporting GPU Physx already and Shattered Horizon will be the next one.
According to Fudzilla, Nvidia will introduce SLI 2 soon – the combination of SLI and Physx in form of a GPU triple. This SLI technology isn't new indeed, but the advertisement should be another attention getter on the graphics cards packages. Furthermore SLI 2 could stimulate game developers to integrate Physx or CUDA support in their games.

Just recently got caught up with this series, and I have to say, it's really nice.
I don't want to draw direct comparisons here as that would not be fair for an ongoing series with only five episodes under its belt, but let's just say that I haven't felt this good about a drama/romance-driven VN adaptation since the Key/KyoAni trio.
Mashiro-iro Symphony has real class, style, and finesse. Everything flows very smoothly, but also believably.
The five main things I like a lot about this anime:
1) Lovely character designs.
2) A very likable main cast, where nobody bothers me.
3) Sena's character development has been wonderful to behold. Lots of charm and nuance to it. None of it feels forced to me.
4) The sibling relationship between Shingo and Sakuno is a considerably well-executed one. I very much like the sibling dynamic there thus far.
5) Most importantly, Shingo is a very solid male lead, overall.
After Episode 2, I was a bit worried he'd be forced into a lot of slapstick comedy, taking a bit away from his character. Thankfully, that hasn't been the case.
Instead, what we've seen with Shingo is actually a bit atypical for male leads in romance/drama anime, I think.
Shingo is a natural diplomat. His desire for a good atmosphere, his perceptiveness, his ability to carefully and shrewdly reach through tense barriers, his clever negotiating abilities, his penchant for achieving win-win outcomes... these are all the signs of a great diplomat.
By him having a character/personality like that, it does add a greater sense of validity to how he's slowly winning over several different girls. In other words, it's taking real effort and skill on his part, and since Shingo's motivation appears to be more about a simple desire for a pleasant school atmosphere than it is about wooing girls per se, it also makes it much easier to accept that he's not taking advantage of the situation at a romance level yet.
This anime is an extremely pleasant watch so far. I'm looking forward to Episode 6, to be sure.

I've actually been meaning to ask why Ange would suddenly have a change of heart after she became depressed when Shingo just "told her off" due to the water bucket spilling incident. Shingo was actually saying the above idea... just in a sort of roundabout way. Thanks, relentless.
That being said, I look forward to every week's episode of Mashifoni for the spirit mending effects, lol. Having my fill of action from C3 and Persona 4 is fine and all, but sometimes I just need to kick back and simply feel good.
In a nice and decent way, that is.
... I'm still surprised that Airi was still holding Ange's broom when she caught up with her by the school gates by the end of the episode, though...

Wow, it's been a while to see VN Adaptation's potential winner girl (Airi) accepted by most viewers. (At least, no one hate her)
Right now I'm trying to find a word to describe Sana's personality. Her ture color is similar to Ibuki (Hoshizora) ,but she's not really a tsundere....hmm...........

As for Sana: Man-hater + Miu-worshipper. If not for Shingo's "fault" in getting closer to Miu she might have kept up her friendly front as long as needed. Now, she just doesn't need to hold back it seems.
Ibuki was anti-main lead due to the accident with Ui at the beginning, but warmed up as time went on + after a specific moment. I could understand Ibuki's dislike of Daigo, though (he's one of the worst sidekicks I've encountered).

By the way, on the merchandise front, fans of the show might consider checking out this Pannya Plushie, being re-released in March 2012 but up for reservation now. This thing has had multiple "printings" and sold out every time because it's darn cute (I have one myself).
(There's also a "King Pannya" plush that was made at once point (and it was massive, and even mentioned in the PSP game as an in-joke), but it's not very practical for most of us... )

I am lucky enough this year to get the new print of Pannya plushie (it's shipped out today by Amiami), last year in november i also ordered it but i forgot to pay for the order within 7 days and it was sold to someone else.
That king Pannya was horribly expensive when i saw it on the japanese yahoo auctions a few weeks ago.
Edit: it's still being sold for 36000 or 43800 円
late edit: uploaded videos of 2 of seiyuu talking about the anime
these videos were originally found on nicovideo, but they were removed 2 weeks after they were uploaded for unknown reasons. Fortunately i saved them before the deletion

This show may not be a masterpiece, but as an ero-game adaptation, it really does a nice job.

There aren't many recent shows I consider masterpieces. Three were on at the same time in 2006: Simoun, NANA, and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. One was on in summer 2010: House of Five Leaves. Another in summer 2009: Bakemonogatari.

The one area where I think this show is doing very well is in establishing the emotional connection to Airi. Each episode slowly peels back the layers one by one and we start to understand who this girl is, what her struggles are, how she thinks, and what she aspires to become. By the same token, I think they're starting to do a better and better job at delivering some of the more subtle shades of Shingo's character -- he's a nice guy that puts others first, but even this has some consequences and flaws. So these two characters in particular feel like they're very fleshed-out and well-considered.
An area where I think the show is a bit less convincing... well, some of the plot points I admittedly find a bit silly/childish, though it's cute in its own way. In particular, a lot of the plot with Ange is a bit silly and sort of feels a bit at odds with the more serious emotional development in some other parts of the story (but then again, it also contributes some levity to the plot and prevents it from taking itself too seriously or going too "emo"). And due to time constraints, some of the other characters also feel significantly less-developed than the two leads, so their actions seem to lack a bit of subtlety (people like Sana and Mio are most in need of character development at this point, though I think that will happen to some degree). I feel like this is a show where if you were to just write out everything that happens as plot points, it would sound really silly/stupid (which gives a lot of ammunition for certain bloggers to mock, for example) but the emotional development and emotional engagement happens almost using the plot as a tool to get there. So it's as if what actually happens in physical terms is less important than the development on an emotional level. That will probably limit the show's mainstream appeal (because it quite far apart from shounen manga, and almost leans a bit more towards shoujo in some respects).
Anyway, all I can say is that, for me, this is the show I'm most engaged with this season. Part of that is knowing the source, but I've certainly had a number of times in the past where an anime just failed to engage me in nearly the same way the source did. Here I feel like the anime has captured what I personally thought were some of the best points of the game; despite the time-constraints, they're really focusing on the emotional character development of the leads, and that's a common trait of almost all the anime I've loved over the years.

It's the emotional understanding and development of the two main characters that appeals to me, too. The humour, not so much, but it doesn't feel too out of place to me, more like "comic relief" to lighten things up between emotional hits, as you say. Since I am a fan of shoujo generally, perhaps it's that aspect that is attracting me -- the portrayal of comparatively subtle emotional things, in particular. I like the idea of a shoujo take on an eroge, lol.
