Check out analysis of the big games of the weekend, including Northwestern vs. USC here on ILWomen.com
LOS ANGELES — In the first lacrosse game of any kind played in the 90-year history of the Los Angeles Coliseum, No. 1 Northwestern defeated Southern Cal Saturday, 18-5, in the Trojans' debut as a Division I program. A crowd of 2,890 fans turned out to see Northwestern rack up 47 shots on USC while junior Alyssa Leonard tied an NCAA single-game record with 15 draw controls.
"We were very excited to come to Los Angeles to be part of USC's first varsity game and support our friends on their coaching staff (former Wildcats All-Americans Lindsey Munday and Hilary Bowen)," said Northwestern head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller. "I thought it was a great atmosphere and a very memorable day for women's lacrosse in this area.
Leonard's 15 draw controls surpassed her previous career high of 10 and matched the NCAA mark set by Virginia Tech's Allie Emala against Boston College on March 14, 2009.
"Alyssa is one of the most talented draw specialists I've worked with and very driven to succeed," Amonte Hiller said. "We've seen in the past how critical her ability on the draw can be to our success and that's going to be true all season long."
Senior All-American Erin Fitzgerald netted a hat trick to lead a group of 11 Wildcats goal-scorers, with Leonard, Taylor Thornton, Kat DeRonda, Kara Mupo and Ali Cassera posting two goals apiece.
It was Thornton putting the Wildcats on the board for the second straight game, scoring off the 8-meter with three and a half minutes gone by in the contest. Fitzgerald made it back-to-back free positions just over a minute later, and unassisted goals by Cassera and Fitzgerald set the score at 4-0 11 minutes into the game.
The first goal in USC women's lacrosse history came courtesy of Amanda Johansen at the 17:44 mark of the first half, but the Wildcats countered by scoring the game's next five goals to gain a stranglehold on the game. Flibotte scored an 8-meter goal just 14 seconds after the Trojans' tally and Leonard created her own scoring opportunity less than a minute later to give NU a 6-1 lead.
Later in the period, freshman midfielder Kaleigh Craig notched her first career goal off the free position to put the Wildcats in front, 9-1, with 5:36 left before halftime. Goals by Leonard and Thornton provided NU a 11-2 lead heading into the locker rooms.
The Wildcats came out sharp in the second stanza, scoring twice in the first two minutes on goals by DeRonda and Fitzgerald to establish a 10-goal NU lead and a running clock for the rest of the afternoon.
Senior Beatrice Conley recorded her third assist of the weekend in finding Mupo at the 15:47 mark and, following an 8-meter goal by sophomore Brooks Lawler, accounted for the Wildcats' final goal of the day off a feed from Kelly Rich with 11:25 to play.
Freshman USC goalkeeper Liz Shaeffer withstood Northwestern's barrage of shots with 18 saves on the afternoon.
Northwestern's high-pressure defense was responsible for 15 caused turnovers and a 23-14 edge in ground balls for the Wildcats. Freshman Lauren Murray led NU with three ground balls in her second career outing.
The Wildcats are next in action on Friday, Feb. 22 when they travel to Chapel Hill for a key early-season meeting with fifth-ranked North Carolina.

The last time an attractive woman tried to pick me up in a bar was never, so when the young lady climbed the stool next to mine, flashed a 100-megawatt smile, and said, "Are you McKenzie?" my first thought was "Is this a trick question?"
"Yes, I am," I said aloud. "And you are…?"
"Riley Brodin."
Usually when people introduce themselves they offer you their hand. She didn't. I tried to place her in my memory. She was not a classic beauty. So many attractive women tend to look like so many other attractive women, each of them borrowing heavily from the same magazines, TV shows, movies, and whatever else drives what we consider fashion these days. Yet Riley's face, liberally sprinkled with freckles, was as unique as her name, and startling ivory-colored hair cut close to her scalp emphasized the individuality of her looks. I suspected that half the people she met thought she was pretty; the other half not so much. I was in the first camp. On the other hand, she was maybe twenty years younger than me, so I immediately deposited her into the look-but-don't-touch category despite the way her skirt slid up to there. If a man knows what's good for him, he'll limit his lust to women who are roughly the same age as he is.
"How do you know me?" I asked.
"My grandfather. He speaks of you often, although I'm not sure he likes you very much."
"McKenzie, how brave are you?"
"How brave do I need to be?"
"That doesn't answer my question."
"What exactly do you want, Ms. Brodin?"
Nina saw the exchange from where she was standing at the far end of the bar. She had never seen an attractive woman try to pick me up, either. I've known her long enough that I could read the expression on her face as she approached. "Now what?" it said.
"Hi," she spoke aloud when she reached the end of the bar where we were sitting. I took a deep breath. Her perfume tinged the air with the faint scent of vanilla, and I was reminded of the eclairs you can get at Wuollet Bakery down on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. I love eclairs.
Riley smiled brightly. "You're the lovely Ms. Truhler, aren't you?" she said.
Nina's eyes flitted to my face and then back to the girl's. I was curious as to what her response would be, but Riley cut her off before she could speak.
"I apologize," she said. "That was rude of me."
"I wouldn't say that," Nina told her.
"That's how my grandfather refers to you. The lovely Ms. Truhler. He likes to hang labels on people, using adjectives to describe them. I'm his clever granddaughter. My father is that deadbeat son-in-law. My mother is—well, that doesn't matter."
"Who is your grandfather?" I asked.
"Walter Muehlenhaus."
I stopped breathing. Nina did, too, but not before gasping a mouthful of air to tide her over while we digested the news. Walter Muehlenhaus—I knew him as Mr. Muehlenhaus—was rich, powerful, and connected in the way you'd expect the old robber barons like J. P. Morgan and James J. Hill to be connected. Those conspiracy movies Hollywood makes where the hero follows the clues all the way to the top? That's where Muehlenhaus sat. He's the reason the state legislature voted to build a billion-dollar football stadium for the Minnesota Vikings on the exact location of the old stadium even though it would have been cheaper and far more convenient to move it to any of the other sites that were proposed.
After regaining my composure, I said, "Mr. Muehlenhaus sent you?"
"Oh, no," Riley said. "He'd be furious if he knew I was here."
"Why are you here, then?" Nina asked.
"I'm embarrassed that I've never been to Rickie's before." Riley turned on her stool to examine the neighborhood bar-slash-restaurant-slash-jazz-club that Nina had named after her daughter, Erica. Most of the tables, booths, comfy chairs, and sofas arranged downstairs were filled, as was usually the case on a Tuesday evening, and half of the tables in the upstairs dining room/performance area were occupied as well, even though the music wouldn't begin for another two hours yet. "I don't get across the river very often," she added.
That didn't surprise me. Folks in St. Paul and the eastern suburbs, if you gave them a good enough reason they might be induced to cross the Mississippi into Minneapolis. However, the people who live there rarely, if ever, travel to this side of the river. Most natives will tell you that whoever invented the label "Twin Cities" was being ironic. We aren't twins. We aren't brothers. Hell, most of the time we aren't even friends. Which made the question that more imperative.
"What do you want, Ms. Brodin?" I asked again.
"My BFFs call me Riles."
"Ms. Brodin…"
"I need a favor. My grandfather says that's what you do. Ever since you quit the St. Paul Police Department to collect the reward on that embezzler you tracked down, you do favors for friends."
"We're not friends."
"I know, but—"
"And your grandfather—the last time I saw him he was trying to frame me for murder."
"He could have tried harder, McKenzie. He didn't because he respects you. Still, you did cause him a great deal of embarrassment giving out the names of the politicians and businessmen involved in that online prostitution ring."
"He wasn't on the list, and he didn't like the men who were any more than I did."
"Grandpa's strength comes from the perception that whatever it is, he can fix it, break it, build it, or make it go away. People came to him for help, and he was unable to provide it because of you, and those men remember; they remember that he was unable to help. It diminished him. Anyway, that's why I'm here. I need someone who can stand up to my family."
"You mean your grandfather," I said.
"If necessary."
"That's not something I'd like to make a habit of."
Riley nodded as if I had spoken a truth universally accepted and began glancing around the club again. I liked her face despite the freckles—or maybe because of them. Her eyes glistened with intelligence, and her mouth seemed capable of warm and generous smiles. Yet there was something sad about it, too, as if it were well acquainted with sorrow. I had the uncomfortable feeling she wanted to share the sorrow with me and didn't know quite how to go about it.
"I met him, you know," Riley said. "Mr. Teachwell. The embezzler you caught. He came to the Pointe when I was a little girl. Some party or something. That's what we call the house on Lake Minnetonka. The Pointe."
"Riley," Nina said. She spoke in a voice I've heard her use only when speaking to her daughter. "Do you want a drink? Something to eat? We have a fine bar menu."
"No, I…"
"You can talk to us when you're ready."
"I need McKenzie…"
"Do you want me to leave?"
"I need you to find my boyfriend." Riley was staring into Nina's silver-blue eyes when she spoke. She spun on her stool to face me. "I need you to find Juan Carlos."
I don't know what Nina was expecting, but she said "your boyfriend" the way some people say "bubonic plague" and stepped back from the bar.
"How long has he been missing?" I asked.
"Three days," Riley said.
"That doesn't seem like a very long time."
"You don't understand."
"Nina and I have often gone more than three days without seeing or speaking to each other."
"Yes, but we always knew where the other person was," Nina said.
She had me there.
"You don't understand," Riley repeated. "He's not at his house. He doesn't answer his cell. I can't find him anywhere."
"Maybe he doesn't want you to find him," I said.
Her brow knotted, and her lips formed a thin line that plunged downward at the ends. For a moment she looked ugly.
"I'm not a starry-eyed teenager, McKenzie. I know what it's like to be dumped by a guy who doesn't even have the courtesy to call. This is different. Something is terribly wrong."
"Have you contacted the police?"
"You know who I am. You know I can't call the police without provoking a scandal."
"The cops out where you live aim to please. They're trained to keep secrets of the rich and famous."
"No," she said.
"Why would there be a scandal?"
"Not scandal, exactly."
"What, then?"
"You make every question sound like an accusation."
"I don't think so."
"Listen to yourself."
I was starting to lose patience. I glanced up at Nina to see if she had an opinion. She shrugged her indifference.
"Ms. Brodin," I said. "You're a member of one of the wealthiest families in Minnesota, if not the nation. You have plenty of resources to draw on, and not just the police. Yet you come to a complete stranger for help. Stop hemming and hawing. Tell me what and tell me why or go away."
She stood, although I don't think she meant to. It was as if the tension in her body caused it to levitate off the stool.
"People don't talk to me that way," Riley said.
"Let me guess—you don't like it."
"No, I don't."
"Do you get a lot of that—people telling you what to do?"
"Yes. At least I did before my trust fund kicked in. Now my family only makes strong suggestions."
"Strong suggestions involving your boyfriend?"
"He's intelligent and handsome and charming and good and I know he loves me." She chanted the words as if they were an incantation that would make him miraculously materialize out of a wisp of smoke. When that didn't work, she spoke in a weak voice. "Will you help me?"
"Tell me something, Ms. Brodin. You said your grandfather likes to label people. Just out of curiosity, what does he call your boyfriend?"
"The immigrant."
"What does he call me?"
Riley hesitated. "He says…"
"When he uses your name, he always calls you 'that fucking McKenzie.'"
"Okay," I said. "I'll help you."
Riley looked at Nina and smiled. Nina smiled back. I gestured at the stool. Riley reseated herself, smoothing her skirt over her thighs. She took Nina up on her offer and ordered a Cape Codder—cranberry juice and vodka with a twist of lime. She made no effort to pay for the drink after it was served. She sipped the beverage and started talking. She became more animated as she spoke; her breath came out in gusts between her words. Nina wanted to listen, but the responsibilities of owning a high-class saloon started pulling at her. She'd leave to deal with a patron or an employee and then return to hear a bit more of Riley's story before being drawn away again. She paid an assistant manager to take care of these problems for her, but Nina had given her the evening off. Foolish girl. 'Course, she knew I would tell her what she missed, later. I always told Nina everything. Well, not everything.
"His name is Juan Carlos Navarre," Riley said.
That made me lean back and say, "Huh."
"I know what you're thinking," Riley told me. "There's a sleepy little village called Navarre on a spit of land between the upper and lower parts of Lake Minnetonka, pretty much at the center of the lake. Juan Carlos said he looked into it and couldn't find a connection to his family or even the region called Navarre in northern Spain. It's just a coincidence."
Actually, that's not what I was thinking. I was thinking that Navarre's name was very similar to Juan Carlos Navarro, the captain of the Spanish Olympic basketball team that the USA beat for the gold medal in London, yet I nodded my head in agreement just the same.
"What does he do?" I asked.
"He's an entrepreneur. Like his father."
Felipe Navarre had owned several businesses in Spain, most of them headquartered in Madrid. Riley read the names carefully to me from a document that she had stored on her smartphone. She had compiled all the information she had on her boyfriend, which I found telling—although I didn't tell her that.
According to Riley, Juan Carlos was the only child of Felipe and Susan Kowitz, an American who grew up in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Sadly—and Riley sounded sad when she told me this—Felipe and Susan were killed in an automobile accident seven years ago while Juan Carlos was away at college. The boy inherited everything, but he didn't want to run his father's businesses as much as he wanted to build his own, so when the debt crisis hit Spain, he sold off his holdings and decided to try his luck in the United States. He had dual citizenship because he was his mother's son, so there wasn't an issue with him immigrating to America.
"Juan Carlos speaks perfect English with the cutest accent," Riley said. "He came to Minnesota because he wanted to be close to his roots, his mother's roots. He settled on Lake Minnetonka because, well, because he fell in love with the place just like the Europeans who used it as a summer vacation home did back in the 1850s."
They met—Riley and Navarre—at Club Versailles, also located on Lake Minnetonka. The club had a swimming pool, a diving pool, hot tubs, saunas, a private beach, and a pier with slips for dozens of boats both big and small. It had tennis courts, an executive golf course, a driving range, walking and bike trails, locker rooms, a fitness center, a ballroom, banquet facilities, a restaurant and bar with live music on the weekends, hotel rooms for rent and condos for sale, and a long waiting list. It was one of those places that sold shares instead of memberships, and if you had to ask how much it cost you couldn't afford to join. I had heard about it but have never been inside the place.
"It was love at first sight," Riley said. Nina had returned to our spot at the bar just as Riley spoke those words, and she smiled. "During the Fourth of July weekend. There was a dance at the club after the fireworks. I was standing on one side of the dance floor and Juan Carlos was at the other and our eyes met and I—I don't even remember who I was with, who I was talking to. I just walked toward him and he walked toward me and we met in the center and—have you ever seen West Side Story, the part where Maria met Tony? It was like that. It was like—it was like we had known each other before and we were being reunited after many years. Have you ever had that feeling? I told Juan Carlos about the feeling, and he told me that we had met before. In our dreams."
The way Riley smiled, I got the impression she liked the dream.
"Let me guess—the Sharks and Jets are against it," I said.
"My family hates him, if that's what you mean. My father especially hates him. He claims Juan Carlos is nothing but a con man who's only after my money. Why else would he be interested in me, my father says. I'm not pretty, he says, so why else would a man care about me except for my money. I'm smart, though. McKenzie, I might not be pretty, but I know things."
Not pretty? my inner voice asked. I raised my hand like a cop trying to stop traffic. "Wait," I said. Nina caught my eye. She shook her head in a way that Riley couldn't see. "Never mind. What about the rest of your family?"
"My grandmother, grandfather, they keep asking what do I know about the boy, the imm-i-grant. My mother—I don't want to talk about my mother."
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"Saturday. No, I saw him Friday night. But I spoke to him on Saturday at eleven thirty. Eleven thirty A.M. We were supposed to meet for lunch."
"At Club Versailles?"
"No, at Casa del Lago. It's a Mexican restaurant in Excelsior. Which is another thing. Juan Carlos owns the place. He bought it after he first came to Minnesota, after he moved to his house on Lake Minnetonka. It was run-down and I heard it was going bankrupt and he took it over and turned it into a real hot spot in just a few months. Would a con man do that?"
"Tell me about the lunch."
"He didn't show," Riley said. "He called and said something came up and he couldn't make it. He was very apologetic. He said he would call me and we would do something later. He said something else. He said, 'I'll never give you up.' He didn't say it in a creepy way, though. He said it…"
"Like someone was trying to keep him from seeing you," Nina said. "And he wasn't going to let them."
"You said Navarre has a house on Lake Minnetonka," I reminded her.
"He does." Riley dove into her bag, produced a key, and slid it across the bar. I did the math quickly in my head and thought, They've known each other for just a breath over three months, yet she has Navarre's key.
When did you give Nina your key? my inner voice asked, but I didn't answer.
"Have you been there?" I asked. "To his house?"
"I went this morning," Riley answered. "I knocked, rang the doorbell. There was no answer. I didn't go inside."
"Why not?"
For a moment her eyes lost their color.
"I understand," I said.
I took the key and slipped it into my pocket.
"Thank you," Riley said.
I hesitated for a moment before I had her send all the information she'd gathered on Navarre to my smartphone. In the beginning I had zealously guarded my cell number from all but a few close friends, yet slowly it escaped my grasp. Now it seemed as if everyone knew how to reach me, including a few nonprofits and political organizations seeking financial support.
I also had her send me a photo of Navarre.
"This is the best one I have," Riley told me. "He gets upset when people take his photo. I don't know why."
Some people might have found that suspicious. Not me. I don't like to have my photo taken, either. I have pretty much bought into the belief held by some primitive civilizations that a camera has the ability to steal your soul.
The photo Riley sent displayed a handsome young man wearing a pink polo shirt and standing in front of a cabin cruiser emblazoned with the name Soñadora. His dark hair was tousled by the wind, his dark eyes half closed against the bright sun, and he was grinning sheepishly as if he were caught doing something that embarrassed him. He didn't look like an immigrant, Hispanic or otherwise. He looked like a kid who worked for Goldman Sachs. Maybe that's why he was embarrassed.
"If I find Navarre, what do you want me to tell him?" I asked.
"That I love him," Riley said. "That I want to see him. That he should call me."
"What if he says no?"
"Then I'll be wrong about him. And my family will be right."
The way she said it, I got the impression that she was more fearful of the latter than the former.
A few moments later she left Rickie's. Nina and I watched as she crossed the floor and passed through the doorway. Riley was an accident of family and wealth, and I wondered briefly if she would be able to survive it.
"Do you think she's pretty?" I asked.
"She's an interesting-looking girl," Nina said.
"Is she pretty, though? She doesn't seem to think so."
"If you're told something long enough, you start to believe it. I've been told, for example, that I'm the lovely Ms. Truhler."
"That's what I heard, too."
"Do you think Riley was telling the truth?"
"About you being lovely?"
"About Juan Carlos. About her family."
"No. Not all of it, anyway. But then people seldom tell you all the truth."
"She loves him. I think that's true."
"Tell me—was it love at first sight when you met me?"
Nina's downcast eyes told me she was disappointed in my answer.
"No, it was a few days later when I saw you at the Minnesota Club," I added. "You were wearing a long, sleek, searing-red evening gown. Remember?"
"I remember."
"You pushed that thug down a flight of stairs."
"That's when I knew you were the woman for me."
"You're such a romantic. That's why you're going to help Riley, isn't it? Because you're a romantic."
"That and to annoy Mr. Muehlenhaus."
That fucking McKenzie, my inner voice said.
"You think that's a good idea? Before when you messed up his plans it was kind of an accident. It wasn't personal. They just got in the way of what you had set out to do. This time, though, it's his family."
"I know."
"It's something to think about."

Booklist Reviews
*Starred Review* Housewright's Minnesota private eye doesn't have a license and doesn't need to work, both of which amp up his cleverness at sleuthing and the fun he has doing it. Rushmore McKenzie is a former St. Paul cop, independently wealthy from a reward for finding an embezzler. He has lots of contacts, including those who frequent his girlfriend's high-end bar. And he has a voice that is very much like that of Boston private eye Spenser; readers will have a good time just listening to McKenzie sizing up people and situations. In this eleventh installment in the series, a young woman seeks McKenzie out at the girlfriend's bar, asking him to find her boyfriend. The girl is the granddaughter of a Minnesota billionaire, a man who uses his money to buy and bludgeon people, including his granddaughter, to his will. The boyfriend, Juan Carlos Navarre, was seen most recently in two places that he claimed to own, a mansion and a restaurant. Other people want to know where Navarre is, too, and they commit arson and murder to find out. Housewright not only delivers steadily growing suspense, but also provides a canny tour of the high and low life in and around the Twin Cities, including an unforgettable tour of the posh Lake Minnetonka. Housewright may be the best Minnesota Noir writer going. Copyright 2014 Booklist Reviews.

Citation: Reid, K., Doros, G., Clark, D., Patten, C., Carabello, R., Cloutier, G., Phillips, E., Krivickas, L., Frontera, W., Fielding, R. 2011. Muscle power failure in mobility-limited adults: preserved single muscle fibre function despite reduced whole muscle size, quality and neuromuscular activiation. European Journal of Applied Physiology. 112(6):2289-2301. PMID:22005960. Interpretive Summary: Lower body muscle power is important for maintaining functional independence and mobility amoung older adults. Greater knowledge of the major factors that are associated with the decline in muscle power among older adults is necessary and could provide important information for intervention and management strategies targeting mobility loss among older persons. This study examined the physiological determinants of muscle power among three distinct populations: healthy middle aged, healthy older and mobility limited older males and females. Our analysis of muscle biopsy samples in mobility-limited elders also revealed that surviving muscle fibers had enlarged and compensated for the age-related losses in whole muscle power and mobility with advancing age may be caused, particular, by impairments in neuromuscular activation and a concomitant reduction in muscle quality.
Technical Abstract: This study investigated the physiological and gender determinants of the age-related loss of muscle power in 31 healthy middle-aged adults (aged 40-55 years), 28 healthy older adults (70-85 years) and 34 mobility-limited older adults (70-85 years). We hypothesized that leg extensor muscle power would be significantly lower in mobility-limited elders relative to both healthy groups and sought to characterize the physiological mechanisms associated with the reduction of muscle power with aging. Computed tomography was utilized to assess mid-thigh body composition and calculate specific muscle power and strength. Surface electromyography was used to assess rate of neuromuscular activation and muscle biopsies were taken to evaluate single muscle fiber contractile properties. Peak muscle power, strength, muscle cross-sectional area, specific muscle power and rate of neuromuscular activation were significantly lower among mobility-limited elders compared to both healthy groups (P = 0.05). Mobility-limited older participants had greater deposits of intermuscular adipose tissue (P < 0.001). Single fiber contractile properties of type I and type IIA muscle fibers were preserved in mobility-limited elders relative to both healthy groups. Male gender was associated with greater decrements in peak and specific muscle power among mobility-limited participants. Impairments in the rate of neuromuscular activation and concomitant reductions in muscle quality are important physiological mechanisms contributing to muscle power deficits and mobility limitations. The dissociation between age-related changes at the whole muscle and single fiber level suggest that, even among older adults with overt mobility problems, contractile properties of surviving muscle fibers are preserved in an attempt to maintain overall muscle function.

So where's the broccoli?
That face has such a haunting look... Well done, Nanda Corrêa.
Why was this the first thing I thought of?
Gorgeous details. I kinda wish this had been done on another color tee that still would have complimented the piece (say lemon yellow) and the colors could have been spread a little further, but still a great piece. Congrats on the print.
Also, I just noticed, the splash of color looks vaguely like Africa. Does anyone else notice it?
This is pretty. Very pretty.
Wont be a quality post but all I can say is this: Simply Epic. Will buy 3 when I get money.
I'm in favor of artsy shirts but this one does not suit my tastes...
This is the kind of picture that somebody presents to me and asks: "So, what do you think?" Having no artistic background (and little to no interest in this person's drawing) I kindly reply "Nice" and promptly change the subject.
Zeppelins. What's up with those?
Fantastic write up. I love woot shirts, cutesy, nerdy, pop culturish and artistic.
I don't see even a woot-off making this shirt a sell out, but it is pretty. Just not for me.
So I'll just put on my "No one left to play with" tomorrow, and give the forums a wide berth.
Wheres the joke?
"You cannot prevent the birds of sadness from passing over your head, but you can prevent their making a nest in your hair."
I am wise, I know.
i cant wear this for fear of becoming the description's character
I recognize this lady, wasn't she in a 60's rock band?
Love the design and coloring, but the small anatomy mistakes keep me from thinking that this shirt is a buy.
Being 6'8", it has been suggested that I wear a shirt with a face on it so that other, punier persons can conduct a conversation at eye-level. Is this what they meant? Or would that be gender-whiplash?
When I get that build up of foliage in my hair I know it's time to change shampoo.
ghostofworr wrote:Wheres the joke?
It got sent to bed without dinner.
Someone did the Disney reference but I think this is the origin story of so many animated skipping dancing dressing bird scenes, the primeval pre cartoon. Pretty enough to launch at least a thousand legends.
It is nice, but the shirt color does not do it justice.
With that color for a background, it would look better on the side of a 1970's van.
bluejester wrote:I recognize this lady, wasn't she in a 60's rock band?
Looks more like Janis Joplin to me.
If you're ever faced with the pernicious problem of a bird infestation in your hair, try yeast. Yes, a liberal coating of yeast will deter even the most persistent birds from making nests in your hairdo. As the saying goes:
"Yeast is yeast, and nest is nest, and never the mane shall tweet."
HA HA HA HA HA, the write up kills me. I've actually had to point out that there were comments under the derby designs before.
Echo Chamber! ECHO ECHO.
Arthurbrigade wrote:Looks more like Janis Joplin to me.
Have you actually SEEN what Janis Joplin looked like?
I think that the write up gives too much credit. I just was under the assumption that the implied people have a computer program titled "Rant Generator 7.0"
The one thing overlooked in the writeup: "It's on creeeeme, I hate creeeeme."
So you see, to be an accurate scientific test of artistic vs. cute, it'd need to be an artistic shirt not on creme... or white... and maybe black... and possibly asphalt... I'm not sure about light blue...
This is indeed a neat drawing, though I don't need it on a T. Sometimes it's just nice to see good art... though that doesn't pay shirt.woot's mortgage, I know.
llandar wrote:Have you actually SEEN what Janis Joplin looked like?
Yes and I stand by my previous comment. Janis Joplin was beautiful by what she could do.

I think Kipling just died again.
Just because you tell us this shirt is art, doesn't make it art. In fact, I'm pretty sure it makes it the exact opposite of art.
Wait...why do I want to buy a t-shirt with a picture of Shakira on it?
etripoli wrote:Just because you tell us this shirt is art, doesn't make it art. In fact, I'm pretty sure it makes it the exact opposite of art.
Nobody has the authority to say what isn't art.
This is a beautiful picture, and I'd love to have it on a poster...but not a shirt. I love art, but save my money for the awesome nerdyness and jokes.
I recognized the art style immediately. I have this artist's mermaid shirt from Threadless and I see she has several other prints as well elsewhere. Very beautiful stuff.
Gorgeous! In for one. The colors touch my creamy center.
tazfreeatlast wrote:It is nice, but the shirt color does not do it justice.

I still say a lemon tee would have made the design that much better.
joemail11 wrote:I think Kipling just died again.
You're into Kipling? I haven't Kipled in years!
But I bought one, just for the memory...
I look at this and am totally reminded of Apollo and Daphne.
Unfortunately, I look awful in beige shirts (or Creme or whatever you want to call it) but like so much of the art featured on this site, I would love to buy it as a print and frame it.
From the thumbnail, I thought it was an Ewok. I need to find my glasses.
abstract emo imo.
the ewok shirt a few days ago was legit btw.

Apparently I'm not the only one who thought it looked like a promotional shirt for Shakira's "Waka Waka, this time for Africa" World Cup video.

Moda Unica Previews Spring/Summer Fabrics
January 11, 2010,
Taking a slightly more conservative stance than it did for spring/summer 2010, Moda Unica previewed its fashion and fashion fabrics and accessories outlook for spring/summer 2011 here last month.
While the green and eco trend prevails, the technology advances by the Italian textiles industry and its innovations are still evident. Overall trends include denim, gingham checks, toile and basic jersey – all used in contemporary ways. Digital prints with overprinting techniques also are significant.
Overall, the themes focus on practicality with a simplistic point of view and a sense of humor, a natural direction in beauty and creativity.
Among the key directions are: Linen and similar natural fibers are key as well as "techno" fibers; worn and faded aspects with crinkling and puckering; uneven tints, bleaching, tie dye effects.
Four themes were introduced: For the Better, a natural practicality and ease of use; For Fun, a subtle sense of humor and joy for relaxation; Full Bloom, a floral direction that exudes charm; and Full Sun, a range of fabrics and accessory trims with vigor and energy.
Within each theme are myriad ideas for the home textiles business in product development down the road.

Re: FFT in Mathematica
Before I'm going to look into this any further: could you explain what
you think is 'weird' with the plot? Do you know what ought to be the
outcome of the transform?
By the way, I forgot to mention that you may want to use the option
FourierParameters -> {0, -2 Pi} in FourierTransform if you want f to
be in Hertz.

text: Best of the Best: One Third of the Season Gone by the stat sprocket Most teams have played at least one third of their games by this point in the season. So, it seemed time to do some ratings and see who is surprising us this year and who has fallen into the dust. In the tables following you will find players ranked by Sprocket Points. The key measures are: Sprocket Points per Game Played – The player's Sprocket Point count divided by the number of games in which they have appeared. Dividing by the number of games levels the playing field since teams have played different numbers of games, and takes out the impact of injuries which seem higher than usual this year. This is a measure of total productivity for the times the player has played. % Team Sprocket Points – The player's Sprocket Point count divided by his team's total. This provides a measure of how important the player is to his team. In this measure games lost to injury hurt the player. Best of the Best by Position Point Guards Just the other day I was waxing poetic about Steve Nash and how he was a sure thing for yet another MVP. Just goes to show – pay some attention to the data before opening your mouth. First, Kidd is the most productive point guard in the league by a fair margin over the second place Nash. The telling stat here though is how much of their team's productivity the point guard accounts for. Chris Paul, Gilbert Arenas, and Chauncey Billups all account for a higher share of their team's production than Nash. Kidd's gaudy 25.1% of team production is only bettered by Garnett at 29.2% and Dwight Howard at 25.2%. Nash's back troubles have limited him a bit hurting his team share. Billups will also take a hit by the time we revisit production by position at the two thirds mark of the season. Note that Andre Miller and Allen Iverson are neck and neck though Iverson's team share has been hurt by the number of games he has missed. Shooting Guards No contest at all here. Dwayne Wade is head and shoulders above the competition by either the per game or percent of team measure. Iguodala is having a very fine season, one that will most likely pick up even more with the trade of Allen Iverson. Rip Hamilton holds down 11th place in the ranking. His lack of rebounding and assists hurt his overall game. Small Forwards As with shooting guard, there is a runaway leader here with Lebron James standing well above the crowd. No other three accounts for even 20% of their team's production, while LBJ comes in at 24.3%. David Lee in New York is having an amazing year, good enough for 5th place in the ranking. For Detroit, Prince is middle of the pack at #13, behind Luke Walton and Andrei Kirilenko in total production. Power Forwards Again, no contest. Garnett reigns supreme and accounts for a higher share of team production than any other player on any other team. The surprises in the list are Carlos Boozer and Dwight Howard who are both having substantial years. Given their production and their team's winning records at this point in the season, both are legitimate MVP candidates. Centers In the middle, things are a bit tighter. Marcus Camby is having another season marked by extraordinary performance and extraordinary fragility, though no more so than any of the top three centers in the ranking. Jermaine O'Neal and Yao Ming have also missed a substantial number of games. Okafor is having a serious season, accounting for the highest share of team production of any center. Biedrins is also quite productive, though on a team that puts up lots of numbers, making his share less impressive. Ben Wallace, despite a variety of issues, has played in them all and still is the fifth best center in the league. His replacement in Detroit, Mohammed, is 26th ranked just about even with the Suns' second string center Kurt Thomas. Old Friends Finally, let's check in on three old buddies, all plying their trade beyond the close confines of Auburn Hills. Milicic, Arroyo, and Evans are all playing a similar number of minutes this year in their coastal existences. Darko is far and away the most productive player, ranking 167 among all NBA players in Sprocket Points. He is the only one of the three whose production index (% team production / % team minutes) is above 100. A 110 index ties Darko for 60th position in the league with Deron Williams and Brendan Haywood, one point above Rasheed Wallace who comes in with an index of 109.

If infantry' group in vehicle' cargo had "unload" waypoint in "Combat" or "Stealth" mode(or switch to "combat" immediately after get out),
Then leader(or fist dismounted unit) falls down immediately after dismount, in 1-2 meters near vehicle, thats resulting for everyone' groups' member unload on top on each other and then lies down.
This is happening by one after another units, until the whole group is unloaded in one pile.
This does not happen in a "Aware" mode.
But the "Aware" mode is not suitable under fire, because the whole group goes to walk all around the vehicle.
Think, is much suitable under fire, will "dismount drill", which would force to sprint everyone' unit to position at least 10 meters radius from vehicles.

Villa California, private, secure, swimming pool, maid service, close to town, WIFI at the villa, 12 miles to the airport POP, this is what our guest have to say, Review #5127065 Awesome Villa! "Our own piece of paradise"
I absolutely have nothing but great positive things to say about Villa California. The owner and property management are very accommodating, and the security was top notch. Also, the villa is very private. You have your own space to do whatever you want. We rented a 3 bedroom villa and it exceeded our wildest expectations. Everything was brand new and very well furnished and equipped. It was the perfect place to stay. I would recommend it to anyone, we will definitely stay at Villa California again

One more time, please
Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous posts about my proposed plumbing.
I have redrawn the plumbing and changed a number of things, so I thought it might be best
to ask for new comments in a new post.
Hopefully, I have everything close to kosher this time and would really appreciate your evaluation one more time.
A couple of comments to make the drawing a little clearer:
Sink #1 is the kitchen sink, #2 is the bathroom sink and, of course, the bath sink, commode and tub are in the same room;
they're shown like they are on the sketch just for clarity in how the piping is run.
All horizonal drain and vent runs have the standard 1/4" per foot slope.
The horizonal drain pipes tee into the verticals with a sanitary tee.
The vertical drain pipes tee into the 3" main with combo wye tees.
Increased the main vertical vent from 2" to 3" (It seems to me, however, that the 2" would work just as well, seeing as
how the toilet vent would also be getting venting from the tub and kitchen sink vents; would that not be so ?)
The kitchen sink horizon drain is now 36" instead of 66" and the vent goes 45 degrees for about 2 feet before going vertical within the wall.
(I understand that 45 degrees and steeper for vents is considered vertical)
The horizonal and 45 degree runs will be hidden within the sink cabinet base.
The vent does reduce to 1.5" through the top of the wall to clear a truss that is directly over the wall
(I know, I should have caught that before placing the wall), but since it is venting only the kitchen sink, hopefully 1.5" is sufficient.
Increase the final vent pipe to 4" to come closer to the sq." area of both 3" vents going into it.
(Not sure but if stayed 3", would it still have been sufficient ?)
From the toilet to the main stack, changed from a 90 degree elbow going into a combo tee wye, to a 45 degree elbow going
into a wye. Is that kosher, or should I have left it with a 90 into combo ? (Just seems like the 45 and wye is more of a straight shot)
The main cleanout is not actually under the house;
it will extend about 3 or 4 feet via a 22.5 degree elbow to the edge of the crawl space.
One last thing; I have included cleanouts as shown on the sinks and tub. Should I also add a cleanout just below the toilet
45 degree elbow or is that a short enough and vertical enough run not to need one ?
Thanks very much in advance for your comments,
2 feet; was planning to angle the cleanout end to the crawlspace edge so it wouldn't
actually be under the house.
But do you mean by a 2 way cleanout, something like two wyes back to back where the
drain exits the crawlspace going to the septic tank. So that you could go either way with
a cleanout snake and without it being so long a run like it would be as proposed ?
I'd hadn't thought of that; sounds like a good idea.
Or maybe I'm understanding you wrong; is a 2 way cleanout something other than that ?
I would appreciate one last review of my plumbing layout.
Thank you for your previous comments.
Some changes are:
By repositioning the kitchen sink slightly, I was able to keep the trap arm within the max 60" length. And was able to keep the vent size 2" by locating it on the other
side of the wall in the pantry room (not ideal, but will not be too noticable behind shelving).
The bath sink, of course, is actually on the other side of the vertical 2", in the bathroom by the toilet.
I decided to go through the roof afterall with the main vent, right next to the ridge.
On the tub, I will put the trap within the floor joists; even though the crawlspace
is open, the insulation between the joists should keep it from freezing (I'm in
Arkansas, so it shouldn't be a problem).
The clean outs are marked C.O. and the one at the end of the main 3" line as well as the double clean out will be outside the perimeter of the crawlspace.
Do you see anything that might give me problems ?

Readers of a certain age may very well remember movement and dance classes from their early education. Some may still be traumatised by them.
Basically involving getting kids to do stuff they wouldn't normally do to music they wouldn't normally listen to, a typical lesson might involve crouching on the floor and pretending to be an acorn that grows into a sapling then a great, tall oak tree blowing in the breeze or some shit like that.
I can distinctly remember undergoing this ordeal on a visit to the Mercury Theatre in Colchester in about 1975. We were asked variously to be a bird, a fish and a wild animal in the jungle as a hairy man with no shoes and socks on clapped his hands to signify when to change. All went well until the wild animal instruction at which point a scrap broke out between a lion and an angry rhino. Time has dissolved the memory of what music was playing as we went through this exercise but I know for sure it wasn't anywhere near as interesting as 'The Seasons'.
'The Seasons' was released in 1969, collecting music from the BBC Radio For Schools programme 'Drama Workshop' which had been broadcast the year before. The music is by David Cain (a mathematics graduate and Early Music enthusiast who had been with the Radiophonic Workshop since 1967) and poetry by Ronald Duncan and Derek Bowskill, who also narrates.
Listening to it now, it's difficult to imagine that this was particularly fun listening for the primary school kids that the record was targeted at. The music is dark and inaccessible in tone and style, sounding more like an electronic score for 'The Seventh Seal' than music for children to express themselves to. The poetic recitation is also problematic: obscure, wordy, pretentious and portentous, it's intoned in an austere, authoritative voice by Bowskill who relentlessly nags at the corners of your mind until you give in and become his mime bitch.
Highly sought after these days and a major influence on new-fangled Hauntological groups, 'The Seasons' isn't an LP that you would listen to all the way through on a regular basis (it would drive you crackers very quickly) but, in small, rationed doses it bursts out of the speakers and takes you into a very odd world where art and music and scaring kids all merge into one and you feel like falling to the floor and being slowly awakened by the first dawn rays of the Winter sun.
Now, please head over to our comrades at 'A Sound Awareness' for a link to somewhere special where you can download the whole LP.

Correlations to National Science Education Standards
Grades K–4
Science as Inquiry–Content Standard A
Understandings About Scientific Inquiry
- Scientific investigations involve asking and answering a question and comparing the answer with what scientists already know about the world.
- Scientists use different kinds of investigations depending on the questions they are trying to answer. Types of investigations include describing objects.
- Scientists develop explanations using observations (evidence) and what they already know about the world (scientific knowledge). Good explanations are based on evidence from investigations.
Physical Science – Content Standard B
Position and Motion of Objects
- The position of an object can be described by locating it relative to another object or the background.
- An object's motion can be described by tracing and measuring its position over time.
Light, Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism
- Light travels in a straight line until it strikes an object. Light can be reflected by a mirror, refracted by a lens, or absorbed by the object.
Earth and Space Science - Content Standard D
Objects in the Sky
- The Sun, Moon, stars, clouds, birds, and airplanes all have properties, locations, and movements that can be observed and described.
Changes in the Earth and Sky
- Objects in the sky have patterns of movement. The Sun, for example, appears to move across the sky in the same way every day, but its path changes slowly over the seasons. The Moon moves across the sky on a daily basis much like the Sun. The observable shape of the Moon changes from day to day in a cycle that lasts about a month.
Science and Technology – Content Standard E
Understandings About Science and Technology
- Tools help scientists make better observations, measurements, and equipment for investigations. They help scientists see, measure, and do things that they could not otherwise see, measure, and do.
Grades 5–8
Science as Inquiry – Content Standard A
Understandings About Scientific Inquiry
Different kinds of questions suggest different kinds of scientific investigations. Some investigations involve observing and describing objects; some involve collecting specimens; some involve seeking more information; some involve discovery of new objects.
Current scientific knowledge and understanding guide scientific investigations.
Technology used to gather data enhances accuracy and allows scientists to analyze and quantify results of investigations.
Physical Science - Content Standard B
Motions and Forces
- The motion of an object can be described by its position, direction of motion, and speed.
Earth in the Solar System
- The earth is the third planet from the Sun in a system that includes the Moon, the Sun, eight other planets and their Moons, and smaller objects, such as asteroids and comets. The Sun, an average star, is the central and largest body in the solar system.
- Most objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion. Those motions explain such phenomena as the day, the year, phases of the Moon, and eclipses.

: New here! Hi!
Hi all!
I am new to the forums here. I have been on this site before and have looked around but I guess I didn't look far enough. I didn't realize there were forums! I'm glad I found them though.
I'm on this site to mainly get help with my daughters hair. (I have relaxed hair that I hate doing). She is 4a, maybe 3c. She is four, but I am just now (as in less than a month ago) trying to really do her hair and keep it done. I know how to do some weaves and cornrolls but not really anything suitable for a child. I'm working on it though.
I've bought a few products but so far I haven't found anything that will control the huge amount of frizz. So anyway, that's the beginning of my story. I'm thinking I found the right place. I already have a few threads bookmarked that I want to read.

Auto Expo Live – Tata ADD Venture Concept showcased
Posted on: Feb 7, 2014 - 9:20am IST
The Tata ADD Venture Concept showcased at the Auto Expo is for the "young, fun loving, technology-driven, active customer", says Tata. Apart from the funky exteriors, the interiors are inspired by a "café lounge with flexible seating".
If you think thats marketing talk, wait till you hear about the concept's "Integrated hot drinks machine"! Further funkiness is found in the side and front center stacks which come with internet enabled iPads. Other features include a roof mounted dual AC, butterfly windows, sunroof, cool box and a CD/MP3 music system.
The ADD concept is based on the Venture van. It is even powered by the same 1,405 cc engine that develops 71 PS @ 4,500 rpm and 135 Nm @ 2,500 rpm matched to a five-speed transmission. It measures 3.95 m long, 1.56 m wide and 1.87 m tall, weighing in at 2.05 tonnes. It is shod with 14-inch alloy wheels and the drive is transferred to the rear wheels.

Kelly Brook's on/off boyfriend crashed a van full of dead badgers.
David McIntosh, was taking the carcasses to a furnace as part of the governments culling scheme - by which badgers are shot in order to prevent the spread of tuberculosis - when he lost control of the vehicle and drove it into a nearby bus stop.
The former Gladiators star - who was hired as a security guard by a private firm - claims the crash was caused when a police radio used to give information on the location of anti-cull protesters fell under the brake pedal.
The ex-Marine said: "The radio fell off the dashboard under the pedals and it was blocking the clutch and brake.
"I have driven under fire and always kept my composure."
But his passenger, John Parker insists hunk fell asleep.
He told Stroud Magistrates court: "When I looked at David, both his hands were on the wheel, but his head was chest. I believe his eyes were shut."
David, 28, had been driving a VW Transporter when the incident occurred in Gloucester around 1am on September 29, but he had his licence suspended for that class of vehicle after he ran a red light back in 2005.
David did not appear in court but admitted by letter to careless driving without a valid license and was reprimanded with six penalty points and was fined £91, plus a £20 victim surcharge and £30 prosecution costs.
Kelly and David split last month after dating for several weeks, but are rumoured to have reunited after they were pictured enjoying a night out in London together earlier this week.Reuse content

I was sitting at work one day trying to find a new series to watch when a friend of my point me towards Shin Angyou Onshi saying it was this show about what you would call "a badass cop" doing whatever he wanted when he wanted, and you could say that is pretty much how it is. These "cops" are called "Angyou Onshi." They were the police and the army of the king in an eastern country called Jushin and provided peace and protection. But then, the world became chaotic and Jushin was destroyed. There is, however, still one forlorn Angyou Onshi wandering in this world.
Angyou Onshi is based of a Korean manga with the same name, the manga ran from 2001 to 2007 and was animated in japan 2004. This was the very first collaboration between Japan and South Korea. When i watched the movie i was sure that it had taken a few random chapters from the manga and just mashed them into a movie as it may seem to be starting right in the middle of major events. However, The movie follows the first 7 chapters of the Angyou Onshi manga and actually starts with out main protagonist Munsu that we get to know is wandering the world in search of a man called Aji Tae who apparently destroyed hes country called Jushin. Munsu is
With just about 90 minutes of content they managed to make pretty good intro movie which good action, the bad thing is that there is no character development at all in the movie. The story is also quite confusing if you do not continue to read the manga after the movie is finished, there is quite a lot you find you in there about Munsu and why hes chasing Aji Tae, but i cant blame the creators since it is a movie after all where they have a limited time to cram as much as possible into it. I wonder why they never made it into a full series as the manga goes quite far beyond what the movie and with the rating it has a series i believe would have been welcome by all.
I was impressed with the animation for Shin Angyo Onshi as it is on quite a high lever for when it was made, i also uses a lot of CGI for special effect and summons. The backgrounds are also very good as they have payed a lot of attention to detail. The fighting scenes are also nice with a lot of movement and realistic approach, especially the hair has much more details than usual.
To conclude my review i would recommend anyone to watch Angyou Onshi as it is a really good movie with good action and a warm fuzzy part in the middle that you can se as the trailer above this review. I would however not suggest that you just leave after watching the movie but recommend you to go and read the manga afterwards as it continues just where the movie left of, the manga is really great and i hope that they will make it into a running series sometime.

Tsunami warning lifted for strong Japan earthquake
TOKYO - Japan's Meteorological Agency has lifted a tsunami warning for the country's northeastern coast.
The warning was issued after a magnitude 7.3 quake struck offshore Friday night, swaying buildings across much of Japan. There were no immediate reports of serious damage but two people were reportedly hurt.
After the quake, authorities issued a warning that a tsunami potentially as high as 2 meters could hit. Ishinomaki, a city in Miyagi, reported that a tsunami of 1 meter hit around an hour after the earthquake.
About two hours after the quake struck, the tsunami warning was cancelled.

There is no need for using airmon-ng unless you want monitor mode automatically at startup. I would add the script to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 which is loaded by rc.M at startup:
I guess that would do the trick. Let me know if it worked.Code:#! /bin/sh # /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 # This script is used to bring up the various network interfaces. # # Modified for SLAX by Tomas M. <http://slax.linux-live.org> # if [ "$1" = "start" -o "$1" = "" ]; then ifconfig lo down 2>/dev/null /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 2>/dev/null /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo 2>/dev/null ifconfig wifi0 down macchanger --mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 wifi0 for eth in `ls /sys/class/net | grep -v sit`; do # check if dhcpcd is not already running for $eth interface, # in that case it was started by hotplug? so don't start it again if [ "$eth" != "lo" -a ! -e /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-$eth.pid ]; then echo "Auto Configure IP address for $eth: /sbin/dhcpcd -t 60 $eth &" /sbin/dhcpcd -t 60 $eth & fi done fi

The Mayor's Task Force on Homelessness of the Municipality of Anchorage, Alaska has developed a "Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness." The vision of this plan is that in ten years, the homeless of Anchorage will be connected with a way to secure safe and affordable housing within three months of being identified by any provider of homeless services. The five support pillars of this vision are: the targeted care intervention, information management, prevention, public policy, and housing. This plan was finalized on January 11, 2005.
