The new Home Launcher from Sony Ericsson's Xperia line leaks for the masses
There is also a Widget overview mode, where the widgets you've placed on your various homescreens are floating around in a grouped view, allowing you to spread them all over the display by shaking the handset.
The leaked .apk with the new Home Launcher has been tested on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, Xperia arc and Xperia Play already, and seems to work without any issues. Hit the source link if you want to try it out on your Sony Ericsson Xperia line handset.

if its a launcher it "should" work on more than just Xperia sets. I may DL to my Galaxy to see if thats true or not. Let ya know in a bit.

well.. it turned on.. lol. the second i try to add a widget or play with any features though it crashes. It may have something to do with the ROM im on though. Simplyhoney4.0 running 2.3.4
anyone else willing to give it a try? Its simply a launcher like any other launcher.

it may be that it needs a repository from the SE version of android to operate to the launcher so you may need to modify it in order to make it operate properly.....
there is the app that emulates the launcher.... works fine on defy... small bug you will notice but so far so good

ya, ill have to look into it. the "theme" part had nothing to link to and trying to mess with it at all caused a crash other than playing in my app links.
I just wanted to see if it was easily transferrable. I think your right though, its missing some coding for it to work right. Ill flip around XDA im sure someone is doing something with it.

Working well on my rooted OG Droid. Runs a lot like GO Launcher EX, but I find it to be much cleaner. Overview can be found with a 2-finger upward swipe. Haven't played with the theme option as of yet. Overall, a good stock replacement.

It works good on my xperia neo.

Almost the same as 2.3.3 launcher on X10...
Too few differences to try it out.
Maybe those themes push me to taste it...

Have anyone tried it on any 2.2 device??? I got a x10 mini pro running custom 2.2 rom...

text: Lately, Vivek Oberoi has been getting nervous over Ram Gopal Varmas Rakta Charitra. Whys that now?Its because hes afraid of being sidelined. The actor, who plays the protagonist in the film, has two scenes with south Indian actor, Sudeep (remember him from Phoonk?). And he feels that Sudeep is more prominent than he is in both the scenes. Like there is a scene where Vivek threatens Sudeep who only glares at him coldly and doesnt respond. Vivek feels the cold stare carried more impact than any dialogues and is now worried that Sudeep will be more noticed than him in the film.

BRADENTON - An investigation is underway to determine if alcohol played a role in a single-vehicle crash that killed two people early Sunday.
State troopers say 26-year-old Chrissie Woods from Palmetto wrapped her car around a utility pole and crashed it into a tree on Cortez Road near U.S. 41 at about 4:30 am Sunday.
Neither she, nor her 22-year-old passenger, Jontrease Yarn, also from Palmetto, had their seat belt on.
Neither survived the crash.

About Me
I was a hobby photographer, tried it full time for a few years and now I'm back to taking photos for fun. When I was full time I found myself shooting things for money not fun, that was the time to stop. So I mostly shoot TFP these days and mostly to amuse myself
I'm interested in curves, in light and shadow and in making girls look great.
I get bored fairly quickly pointing four lights at a model and shooting catalog style photos, (although I'm happy to shoot a few of those for a portfolio). I'd rather shoot you with one light against a dark background and see what we can create, maybe with black lights, maybe with candles...
I'm always interested in working with new models, give me a yell if you want to come and play.
You'll find lots of my photos on here, I've been around for a while. When I joined (about 2006) there were 9 girls from New Zealand on MM. I have a soft spot for this place and particularly the forums, I just wish I had the time to spend reading them I used to.

We're happy to present this excerpt from one of our favorite sites, HowAboutWe. Think dating younger men is just for "cougars"? Think again.
You want to date someone who appreciates you. Someone with his sh*t together. Someone mature, evolved. Ready to take you seriously. The problem is, you think that person has to be older than you. But you're wrong. Just as chronological age doesn't always "cure" one of immaturity, a man can be all of these things and still be 24, 28, 30 (depending on what you consider young). You just need to give him a chance.
You've told yourself you don't really want a younger man. You use it as a reason to blow them off, pare back your options, and fuel embittered stories about how It's So Hard to Meet Good Men. But that's not a power position, and it does you no favors.
Why to Date a Younger Man
He's bored with girls his own age. If there's one complaint I hear from younger men — and the reason they're interested in older women, is that they're a little tired of the same old scene and games. They're very into the idea of spending time with a woman who brings a little more to the table — a whole world of experience and interests outside of his own. He's not dumb because he's 27. He's smarter than you think and would welcome a grown-up conversation, not to mention a mature relationship.
He's not just out to hit it and quit it. To say men JUST want sex, especially young men, isn't a fair assessment. They've been having sex for years, and it's not like they can't get it if they want it. They may be less inclined to marry right away or at all, perhaps, but that's not the same as not wanting a real relationship. And many desperately do.
He thinks you're hot. Stop it with the "Oh, but he probably wants some 21-year-old chick with perfect breasts." There will always be scores of young hot girls roaming the planet. You're wrong to think he couldn't be turned on by you. Guys aren't all looking for a girl off a billboard. Men like curves — and the women who bear them with an air of self-possession and desire. Guys like pleasing women and being enjoyed by a woman who appreciates them. You know your body, what makes it tick, and what turns it on and makes it happy. He's really, really into that.

2012 record: 3-11-2
By PATRICK SLACK
Sports Editor
[email protected]
The Little Falls girls soccer team has been young for awhile.
But although the Flyers are still reliant on youth, those players have now had a chance to gain experience at the varsity level, experience that has the program ready to be competitive in the Granite Ridge Conference.
"Although we are still a very young varsity team, we are working to improve on last year's record and be competitive in every game," head coach Marc Fritz said. "We should be able to compete with everyone in the conference."
Leading Little Falls will be a defensive unit stabilized by multi-year senior starters Rachelle LeBlanc and Katie Yorek, as well as juniors Alicia Gapinski and Katelyn Staab.
Offensively, the Flyers will look to sophomore striker Jordan Schuett and freshmen midfielders Mikel Vacek and Chelsea Moran, with junior Scottijo Meyer and freshman Lauren Thielman returning as goaltenders.
Looking to play more significant roles as well will be seniors Kirsten Welinski (defense) and Danielle Moran (midfield), juniors Marissa Virnig (midfield) and Kristin Stewart (keeper), sophomore Ellie Riitters (midfield) and freshman Kia Friel (striker).
Seniors on this year's team include LeBlanc, Welinski, Yorek, Brianna Opatz, Taylor Kunkel and Danielle Moran.
Little Falls was scheduled to open the season at home against Bemidji, Friday.

Our first cruise was a good one!: Carnival Legend Cruise Review by bookworm778
Overall Member Rating
Our first cruise was a good one!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
Food: The Unicorn Cafe had great food, I thought just as good as the food in Truffles. Salad bar was great, only problem is that some parts of the cafe are only open certain hours. So if you want to eat at 3pm, what you want may be closed. The pizza station and the deli station I think are the only ones that have later hours. You have to wait for the pizza to be made also. The only free drinks are coffee, tea, and lemonade. You can get OJ and guava juice free only in the morning. Truffles was good, I am vegetarian and there was only one vegetarian option every night, but it was always good. My husband is a big meat More eater though and was disappointed that the meat was always cooked well done. I guess when you're serving 2500+ people, you can't get everything made to order. Unless you eat in the Golden Fleece, which costs $30 extra per person. I also liked that you could see what was on the menu for that night on your tv in the room.
Alcohol: As for the only 2 bottles of wine rule, I met many others that brought liquor. I brought wine as well as a bottle of vodka, no problems. Next time I will bring lots more liquor. They let me bring opened bottles of water with me in my purse on embarkation as well. I don't mind spending some money on drinks, but the drinks are expensive. One day I ordered the Drink of the Day and it cost $15 because they automatically bring it in a souvenir cup. On the first elegant night, they have a pre-show in Follies Lounge where they advertise that everyone gets a free drink. Do GO! The servers keep coming around and my husband and I each got 3 free drinks. Also, some nights they have martini specials in the lobby bar for $7.50 and they are very strong and very good.
Entertainment: The shows each night in Follies were all great-the comedians, the Vegas-type shows, Motown show, and a New Orleans show. Very entertaining, I wish they had been longer. The karaoke was good, but after a few times, you realize it's the same people doing the same songs over and over. Billie's Piano Bar is fun at night too with sing-a-long songs. Although, if I don't hear the song 'Sweet Caroline' in the next 20 years, that will be fine by me. The nightclubs were usually dead, the casino was always full, but I didn't do any gambling. The pools were a lot smaller than I expected, not all that much bigger than the hottubs. Best time to go to the pool or to lay out on deck was after 1pm. Everyone is out there at 11am, then it clears out at lunchtime and dinnertime. I stuck with the adult pool in the back. There is always something to do on ship though, if anything it was hard figuring out which to choose from.
The things I didn't like was the music selection and the long lines. All the music was pop or rap from the 90's. Don't think I heard anything from the past 5 years. It was strange to eat breakfast to the tune of "you down with OPP? Yeah, you know me!" The lines to eat and to get off the ship on ports were ridiculous. They moved quickly but just kind of annoying. I guess that's to be expected though with that many people.
I brought antinausea medicine since I have pretty bad motion sickness. I only had to use it on the ferry ride in Cozumel and smaller boats. On ship, didn't feel much movement, just some swaying every now and then. The room was great too, loved the towel animals and the cleaning service several times a day! The mini fridge in our room we used to keep our bottled water cold that we just refilled every day to bring with us on excursions. The bathroom had shower gel and shampoo that smelled like Fruit Stripe Gum. There was also free samples of toothpaste and a woman's razor. There were bathrobes and a hair dryer in the room as well. I was worried with our room being on the 1st deck and directly underneath the casino, but I never heard anything from upstairs and not having a window was fine with me, the room was pitch black to sleep in!
All in all, was a great vacation, and will plan on going on another cruise in the future. Less

Gates F55 Prototype Housing
Hello Scubacammers (or prospectus Scubacammers). Its has been a few weeks since ADEX 2013. How time flies in this industry. One or two housing I was supposed to try out took longer than expected because of difficulty in getting the cameras. These are really expensive Digital Cinema Cameras and there aren't that many around. Luck would have it one of my friends has a few hours time slot before a shoot and he kindly sneaked one into my shop to do a dry fit …..
and viola the Sony PMW F55 CineAlta 4K Digital Cinema Camera
Before I go on I must note that this is a "preview" of the Gates F55 Prototype Housing not a full review. Gates will have a full working unit very soon even though this prototype is very nicely finished.
The Sony PMW F55.
This is a long anticipated 4K cinema camera offering from Sony that rivals RED and ARRI. Sony seems to have packed in all the recording options into one envelop. From 4K Raw, compressed raw, XAVC, 2K and Mpeg that records internally or external with optional modules. It is also first cinema camera of it type to feature a global shutter. This means zero motion skew and "rolling" shutter effect that blighted many cameras that records HD with CMOS sensors.
The camera and its modular system is extensively reviewed and debated in many web forums and cinema equipment blogs. I will leave it to you to Google for more info. The following is just a highlight of the specifications which I think is very relevant for factual documentary & underwater type work:
- Modularity of the design – means the camera could be striped down for lightweight run and gun shoots or perch on a gimbal of a RC helicopter or UW housing.
- Electronic Global Shutter – No more "Jello-cam"
- 8.9mp Super 35mm CMOS. 4K, 2K or somewhere in between. Cinematic look and no crop even for compressed video.
- DR at 14 stops and wide colour Gamut.
- Internal 4k/ 2k/HD recording.
- High frame rate using optional AXS-R5 unit for 240 fps.
- Optional 2k/4K RAW recorder – allows both compressed and uncompressed RAW recording. Allows fast workflow from Mpeg 2 Proxies.
- Records in SXS Pro + Media cards.
- Sony FZ mount – via the right adapter most lens could be slapped on it. Also PL mount of course.
- Built-in ND filters
I am probably over simplifying the specs but I am sure there are more goodies in this camera than my limited experience of it which is roughly just over two hours.
For topside shoots one expects that many of the existing accessories such as bottom rail brackets or top plates and top handles are available for this camera. Anyway here are some more pictures.
How does it fit into the Gates F55 housing?
This feature is probably the newest design change from Gates's bottom saddle. Perhaps it allows for quick detachment of the camera or a safety feature. It was quite tricky to hold a fully kitted F55 and try to slide the dovetail to the bracket. I found it that it is easier to install this with the camera and the housing up side down. The weight of the camera helps to keep the dovetail firmly on housing bracket also less problem with the camera weight.
As I mentioned earlier the back end of the housing is intended for non-raw recorder module. Longer version in the full working housing unless there is a really thin battery around.
The Gates F55 is considerably smaller than the Red Epic/Scarlet housing. The camera seems to be quieter and less hot so volume of circulation air could be reduced. With smaller housing the port collar is a little snug for all the lens gear mechanism. My guess would be that Gates will provide some sawn down allen keys with the tool kit.
Same Gates Epic/Scarlet housing 8 inch SP80 dome and SP80 flat port could be used
In conclusion the Gates F55 housing is a very compact professional housing for the modular Sony Digital Cinema Camera. The follow focus, aperture and zoom gearing are the same high standard metal gears that just works and one come to expect from Gates. The level of refinement to the housing is very high. The ribbing internally of the housing is one example as this reduces the total weight but remains just as strong. Components are all mechanical and made of the highest standard. Easily fixable in the field. I would say even with just a prototype housing for a dry test I could see the finish version is going to be awesome piece of kit. I can't wait.
Ciao and happy diving

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/9/2013 (1442 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HAMILTON, Ont. -- The Hamilton Tiger-Cats are itching to get back on the field against the B.C. Lions to not only fix their mistakes, but also show the can compete with the CFL's elite teams.
Hamilton (4-5) hosts B.C. (6-3) today in a rematch of last week's game in Vancouver that saw the Tiger-Cats start slowly in the Lions' 29-26 victory.
Hamilton's four wins coming into the game the University of Guelph's Alumni Stadium have all come against the league's bottom-feeders -- three against Winnipeg (1-8) and one against Edmonton (1-8).
The Tiger-Cats are looking to make a statement after a number of missed assignments and untimely penalties cost them at B.C. Place Stadium.
"We had a great opportunity in Vancouver," said Hamilton quarterback Henry Burris, who leads the league with 2,806 passing yards (including 14 TDs and seven interceptions). "But when you get out of the gates that slow and then you make the mistakes that we did down the stretch, that's what's going to happen. You're going to lose the close ones like that."
The Lions held the Burris and the offence scoreless in the first quarter and never trailed. B.C. quarterback Travis Lulay had his best outing of the season, throwing for 359 yards, three TDs and rushing for another.
Tiger-Cats running back C.J. Gable said having back-to-back games against B.C. has made it easier for Hamilton to focus on what needs to be done.
"It's easier because you already know what you did last game, instead of waiting two or three weeks later when it's not fresh in your mind," he said. Gable is tied for third in the league with seven touchdowns. He acknowledged he missed some blocking assignments and he's seen on the film the holes he missed running through.
"It's fresh in my mind what I did and what I saw so when I go back out there, I'm ready for what they're going to bring," he said.

The next royal baby in England has yet to be born, but already has been bestowed the title of prince or princess, according to Buckingham Palace officials.
The firstborn child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will get a newly created title upon its arrival. The baby will be known as His or Her Royal Highness, Prince or Princess of Cambridge.
The infant will be third in line to the British throne, after Prince William and his father, Prince Charles.
Neither the Duke nor Duchess claim to know the gender of their child, who is expected to arrive within days. Earlier this year, however, Queen Elizabeth took steps to update a century-old rule to make it easier to grant the child the title "princess" if she is a girl. Otherwise, a daughter would have only been allowed to receive the title, "lady."
The baby will be delivered at St. Mary's hospital, the same London facility where William and his brother, Prince Harry, were born.

Princess Diana's pregnancy style
The Princess of Wales was known for her sense of style and that didn't change during her pregnancies. From William to Harry, Princess Diana continued wearing stunning looks while sporting her baby bumps.

How Princess Diana made pregnancy stylish
There have been many comparisons made between Princess Diana and Duchess Kate, including their fashion sense. From these photos, it's clear the Princess of Wales did not lose her sense of style during her pregnancies with her two sons. We'll just have to wait and see if the Duchess of Cambridge does the same!

Jeneen C.wrote a review of The North Face Resolve 2 Hooded Jacket - Women's on April 27, 2013
Nice but small
I ordered the Pache Grey XXL jacket because the XL that I tried on at another store was a bit too snug. The XXL seems to fit exactly the same as the XL! It is fine with a light weight shirt, but I cannot wear sweatshirts under it. I love the appearance, but I wish it was more roomy in the waist.

He'll do anything to save the ranch, including baring it all.
Aubrey Klein is in real trouble - he needs some fast money to save the family ranch. His solution? A weekend job as a stripper at a club in Dallas. For two shows each Saturday, he is the star as The Lone Rancher.
It leads to at least one unexpected revelation: After a show, Garrett Lamston, an old friend from school, approaches the still-masked Aubrey to see about some extra fun...and Aubrey had no idea Garrett was gay. As the two men dodge their mothers' attempts to set them up with girls, their friendship deepens, and one thing leads to another.
Aubrey knows his life stretching between the ranch and the club is a house of cards. He just hopes he can keep it standing long enough to save the ranch and launch the life - and the love - he really hopes he can have.
©2016 Andrew Grey (P)2016 Dreamspinner Press
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"Such a fun read"
I did not ever understand the pain and anguish that the LGBT community endured until I began reading m/m books. I do know that my parents would have loved me regardless; it was something I never had reason to question. This story dealt with this issue in Texas. It seems the more "religious" a community is, the more likely it is that they will ostracize those who are different. The fight goes on to change that.
"Nice way to enjoy this sweet story"
What do you get when you mix a "harlequin style" with Andrew Grey? A very sappy and sweet romance with an ooey gooey center!
Garrett and Aubrey are friends until the night they bump into the other at a gay bar in Dallas. Now that they know the other's secret they're also pining for the other's body!
Aubrey is leading this double (or triple) life where he strips for money in Dallas to keep the ranch afloat and hides his sexuality from everyone but Garrett and hides the stripping from everyone including Garrett.
As Garrett and Aubrey's mothers start to set them up on double dates with the local girls, their romance with each other heats up. When Aubrey's secrets come to light the question is on whose side will Garrett fall?
This is just like those Harlequins from the past: predictable and easy to read. We know what's going to happen and there are only a few twists and turns the story takes.
Garrett is a very likable and sweet – salt of the earth - character and he's easy to love. Aubrey is the "perfect son" with parents who are both awful and not-so-bad, so he comes across a little more "fussy" but it's only because he's working so hard all the time.
If you're a fan of Andrew Grey, westerns, sappy romances and the Dreamspun line – you'll enjoy this!
John Solo is a good selection for narrating this Midwestern romance. He does a nice job with the drawling accents and the sometimes screechy women. He does a nice job with the smexy times and the emotions and is easy to listen to.
4 of 5 stars
"John Solo brings his A game!"
I like John Solo. As a narrator he usually does a good job bringing the characters to life, he doesn't make the female characters sound stupid, and he generally draws me into the story. This time is no exception with his narration of the fourth book in Dreamspinner Press' Dreamspun Desires Series.

Aubrey Klein moved home to help take care of the family ranch when his father's health declines. His parents are getting older and aren't able to take on the responsibility of the ranch by themselves anymore. Unfortunately, before they called him home they also managed to rack up an exorbitant amount of debt.

One night on a break in Dallas, closeted-at-home Aubrey stops by a gay strip club on Amateur Night and, after some liquid courage, dances away with the grand prize and a job offer for Saturday nights where he stands to make a minimum of $1000 each time he dances. Aubrey slaps on a mask and calls himself "The Lone Rancher" and does what he needs to in order to save the ranch.

After Aubrey's been getting away with his dual life for months, he's shocked when he sees his old friend from school, Garrett Lamston, who Aubrey didn't even know was also gay. He sure doesn't expect, while still in costume, to be approached by Garrett and barely gets away without giving away his identity.

Back at home Aubrey and Garrett begin spending time together again, rekindling their old friendship and kindling a new love affair. Aubrey's life becomes more complicated as he tries to juggle his hush-hush relationship with Garrett, his parent's expectations, the running of the ranch, and his secret identity.

The Dreamspun Desires stories are based on the old Harlequin romance formula of sweet, low angst, romances with a guaranteed HEA so I expect a certain amount of fluff. The premise of the story works if you squint your eyes and ignore logic (I mean, seriously, the parents don't question the sudden influx of $25K or more? No one recognizes Aubrey with the little mask on?). All of which can be ignored for the enjoyment of the story. And I did enjoy the story and narration.

Three things did bother me though. Unfortunately, the story loses a bit of steam halfway through, the constant shame and guilt Aubrey feels for dancing (get over it, kid! It's fun, you're good at it, and it hurts NO ONE!) was grating, and the jumps that took away some of the time of getting to know Garrett and Aubrey as a couple were annoying.

In the end, though this is about romance and a happily-ever-after and the story definitely delivers on the fluff, love, and romance. It also manages to add some sexy times, which made me happy. So just make sure you have your rose colored glasses on and sit back and enjoy the narration. John Solo brings his A game and makes this a really enjoyable listening experience.

"It was a pretty solid friends to lovers story"
Aubrey Klein is looking to find a way to save his parents ranch, live his life, come out of the closet, and find a happily ever after.He is offered a creative way to make money, as a erotic dancer in a gay club, and does this on a weekly basis with every plan to never let anyone find out about his weekend activities and to quit just as soon as the ranch is safe from foreclosure. Well you know what they say about the best laid plans..
Garrett Lamston, has known Aubrey for years and has hidden something about himself from everyone, he is gay and he has a huge crush on Aubrey. Not only are both men in the closet, but they live in Texas in the Bible Belt, being gay just isn't an option - and then there is Aubrey's weekend activities that he has to continue on the down low in order to protect his families livelihood.
If you are looking for a story that is easy going, soft on conflict with super easy resolutions then this might be for you.

Grob Aerospace has restarted the flight-test program for its SPn jet, just short of three months after the crash of its second prototype on November 29. The first SPn prototype took to the air again on February 23 from the company's headquarters at Tussenhausen-Mattsies, Germany. Germany's Federal Office of Civil Aviation approved the resumption of flight trials after Grob completed a 300-hour maintenance check and a thorough inspection of the aircraft. The second prototype will focus on systems and performance evaluations. A third prototype is due to start flying in the spring. Grob is building another SPn fuselage to be used for dynamic fatigue tests. The manufacturer plans to complete EASA certification in the first quarter of next year, followed by FAA certification in the second quarter of next year. "Having the SPn flying again reconfirms to the industry that we are still confident on the road to certification," said Grob Aerospace CEO Niall Olver.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Wavering, Thomas A. II Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-12098-142023 Title Optical Path Length Multiplexing of Optical Fiber Sensors Degree Master of Science Department Electrical Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Brown, Gary S. Murphy, Kent A. Claus, Richard O. Committee Chair Keywords
- Optical fiber sensors
- interferometry
- extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer
- sensor multiplexing
Date of Defense 1998-02-06 Availability unrestricted AbstractOptical fiber sensor multiplexing reduces cost per sensor by designing a system that
minimizes the expensive system components (sources, spectrometers, etc.) needed for a
set number of sensors. The market for multiplexed optical sensors is growing as fiber-optic
sensors are finding application in automated factories, mines, offshore platforms,
air, sea, land, and space vehicles, energy distribution systems, medical patient
surveillance systems, etc. Optical path length multiplexing (OPLM) is a modification to
traditional white-light interferometry techniques to multiplex extrinsic Fabry-Perot
interferometers and optical path length two-mode sensors. Additionally, OPLM
techniques can be used to design an optical fiber sensor to detect
pressure/force/acceleration and temperature simultaneously at a single point. While
power losses and operating range restrictions limit the broadscale applicability of OPLM,
it provides a way to easily double or quadruple the number of sensors by modifying the
demodulation algorithm. The exciting aspect of OPLM is that no additional hardware is
needed to multiplex a few sensors. In this way OPLM works with conventional
technology and algorithms to drastically increase their efficiency.

On a very emotional senior day, the Duke women's soccer team continued its hot streak as the Blue Devils scored six first half goals en route to a 6-3 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C. With the victory, Duke improved to 8-6-4 overall and 5-4-3, while clinching a bid in the upcoming ACC Tournament.
The Blue Devils are unbeaten over the last five matches and will close the regular season at arch-rival North Carolina on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 7:00 p.m., in Chapel Hill, N.C.
"I thought we were really good," said Duke head coach
Robbie Church
. "We were really focused. You always worry during senior day because you never know [how the team will come out and play]. That was a big senior day – a lot of people, a lot of emotion and a lot of really good players who have put a lot of energy into our program."
Prior to the match on Sunday, Duke honored eight seniors who were playing their final home regular season contest –
Natasha Anasi
Kaitlyn Kerr
Meghan Thomas
Avery Rape
Laura Weinberg
Mollie Pathman
Gilda Doria
Alex Straton
. Kerr, who is out of Bensalem, Pa., then sang the national anthem.
Duke got things started in the first three minutes of the match as redshirt senior
Kim DeCesare
found a streaking
Kelly Cobb
in the middle of the field. Cobb, who is out of Chugiak, Alaska, split two defenders and then beat Pittsburgh keeper Taylor Francis into the left corner to take a 1-0 lead.
The Blue Devils then scored five more goals in a span of 27 minutes to go ahead, 6-0, at the half. The six goals was a season high as Duke had not scored more than three all season.
"Just getting the win [is what I am most excited about] said Kerr. "We needed it to get into the NCAA Tournament. We got it done and everyone was a huge part of it. The entire team got in and played great minutes. I think it was an overall great team win."
Weinberg, who is a Boca Raton, Fla., product, netted her fifth goal of the season in the 13th minute off an assist from Cobb to put Duke ahead, 2-0. The goal was Weinberg's 39th career tally and gave her 100 career points. She joined only Kelly Walbert (117) as Blue Devils who have registered over 100 career points at Duke.
In a span of less than four minutes, Kerr put Duke ahead 4-0 with two goals herself. The 5-5 midfielder one-timed a cross from the left side of the pitch in the 18th minute and then added her second goal in the 21st minute off an assist from freshman
Toni Payne
. Kerr collected her fourth career multi-goal game and eighth career game-winner.
Cobb posted her second career multi-goal contest as she connected on her second goal of the match at the 22:06 mark to give the Blue Devils a 5-0 lead, off assists from DeCesare and Kerr.
"I thought they both were great," commented Church on the play of Kerr and Cobb. "Kaitlyn is a very emotional young lady. The whole senior day and singing the national anthem was very emotional to her. I didn't know how exactly she was going to react. Five minutes into the match, you could see how she reacted. She really did some great things. It was great to see Kelly get that first goal. For her to get those two goals was great for us moving forward."
Freshman midfielder
Malinda Allen
got into the scoring column for the first time in her collegiate career as she ran through the defense and beat Francis from seven yards out to give Duke a commanding 6-0 advantage at the 39:35 mark.
At the half, Duke held a 24-2 advantage in shots.
"I thought the team had a great first half," said Cobb. "We came out and attacked, obviously from the get go. That was the plan as this game was very important for us to get into the NCAA Tournament."
The Blue Devil starters came out on the field to begin the second half but they didn't play long as Church emptied the bench and Duke took only seven second half shots.
Pittsburgh added three goals over the final 10 minutes of play, including an own goal by the Blue Devils, to cut the Duke lead to 6-3.
For the match, Duke outshot the Panthers, 31-6. The 31 shots were a season high for the Blue Devils. Kerr led with six attempts, Payne added five, while Cobb and Allen chipped in four.
Thomas, who was making her fifth straight start in goal for Duke, played 60 minutes and totaled one save, while not allowing a goal. She owns a 0.39 goals-against average along with a 4-0-1 record during the five-match unbeaten streak. Redshirt sophomore
Ali Kershner
came in the final 30 minutes and allowed three goals as the reserves were in.
With Duke's 5-4-3 mark in the conference, the Blue Devils currently sit in sixth place in the ACC.
"We definitely want to be playing our best soccer towards the end of the season," said Kerr. "It is awesome that we are able to do that now."
Kaitlyn Kerr
moved into sole possession of eighth on Duke's all-time points list (76), moved into a tie for sixth on the goals chart (28) and is now tied eighth on the assist list (20).
• Freshman
Courtney McDaniel
made her collegiate debut after being injured last season.
• Duke scored a season-high six goals. The six goals was a season-high allowed for Pitt.
• A total of 22 players played on the day for Duke.
Kelly Cobb
totaled six points on the day, while
Kaitlyn Kerr
added five.
• Duke had scored only seven first half goals against ACC opponents prior to the six today.

Rihanna Wants A Baby With Chris Brown
Rihanna has revealed that she wants to have children with her on-again boyfriend Chris Brown. In a recent interview with ELLE UK, the 25-year-old talks about her troubled and controversial relationship with Chris and her wish to have a baby five years down the line.
The "Diamonds" singer told the mag that she and Brown have a "fresh start":
"I will probably have a kid. And I'm praying I can go on vacation for a good month," she says in the interview. "And I'll have set some things up so I don't have to tour for the rest of my life, even though I love touring. I want health and happiness in five years. I want to be healthy and happy."

This scarflette is easily fastened at the neck by tucking the cast off end through a pocket formed at the beginning. As a result, you can use a smaller amount of luxurious fiber to get a warm and snuggly scarf - just one skein of worsted weight yarn will do fine.
Muntins are the proper name for the strips of wood that separate the panes of glass in traditional windows; the pattern here looks a bit like old windows with decorative frames.

Huddled around laptops and iPads at Brisbane Airport, the Canberra Cavalry have never been happier to see a Perth Heat grand slam.
And Canberra Cavalry coach Michael Collins feels the reigning Australian Baseball League champions have finally got their ''spark'' back after two late rallies let them sneak into the play-offs to defend their title at the 11th hour. Their equation was simple: beat the Brisbane Bandits then pray the Heat could sweep the Adelaide Bite.
The Asia Series champions took care of the first step, coming from behind to beat the Bandits 5-3 in Brisbane on Sunday.
It then looked like their dream was shot, as the Bite fired to a 5-3 lead in the top of the seventh. But Heat left-fielder Brandon Tripp hit a grand slam home run in the same frame to send Canberra into the finals at Adelaide's expense.
''Probably the first time the Canberra Cavalry have been really rooting and supporting the Perth Heat,'' Collins said. ''The opportunity is there now to go on and reach our goal of retaining the championship … [assistant coach Keith] Ward and I were, at one point in the game, talking that we've got a little bit of spark going, bit of attitude - and that was before we scored those runs.
''I think everybody understands now that it's a different ballgame, it's winner takes all.''
But it looked like the Cavs might never make it, having slumped from a 17-11 win-loss record to lose 13 of their final 18 games.
Michael Crouse put the Cavs in front early with a single driving in Canberra product Jason Sloan in the top of the third. But Canberra gave up three runs in the fourth and fifth frames to be staring the end of their season in the face.
Finally they produced a trademark rally in the top of the seventh. Robbie Perkins started it with a solo home run before back-to-back sacrifice flys by Casey Frawley and Jeremy Barnes sent two more orangemen across the plate.
Crouse gave the Cavs fans extra breathing space, driving in Ethan Cole, who was making a rare appearance as a pinch runner, to make it 5-3 in the top of the eighth.
Then it was time for Sean Toler, who started with a walk before getting the three needed outs.
Minor premiers Perth will have a week off, while the Cavs play Sydney in a three-game series. Game one will be at Narrabundah Ballpark on Friday, games two and three (if required) at Blacktown.
Canberra 001 000 310 - 5r 10h 1e
Brisbane 000 120 000 - 3r 8h 1e
Cavalrys' best: CF Crouse (3-5, 2RBI), LF R Perkins (1-3, 1HR, 1RBI), P Thompson (3.0I, 1H, 0R, 3K).

This unique floral-inspired CZ engagement ring is a feast for the senses. What exactly does The Jolene smell like when you open the gift box and take a big whiff of that new love smell? Can you taste it? The first person on our CubicZirconia.com staff ever to see this ring design must have suffered a sudden attack of synesthesia because he wrote: "this ring is like music for the eye, and smells exactly like walking barefoot over bright, fluffy green clouds".

On his plan to explore his singing talent, T-Pain plots to do 'more country than hip-hop' with country music crooner Tim McGraw.
Hip-hop mogul T-Pain reveals that he plans to enter recording booth with Tim McGraw. He comes to such an idea after running into the country music singer on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" show last November.
"We talked about getting in the studio together, so that's probably going to happen soon," T-Pain tells E! Online about his plan. Thinking of "something cool and different", he adds, "We gotta be more country than hip-hop."
On his country music plan itself, T-Pain has brought it out earlier in February. "I am gonna try to go with some different features. Right now, I'm thinking about a song with Toby Keith and just getting it in," he said at that time.
T-Pain is currently on the road with Keyshia Cole, Gym Class Heroes and Keri Hilson as a supporting act for Lil Wayne's "I Am Music" tour. Having completed five dates, he will make a stop at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan on December 26 for the roadshow.

DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. - Fans gathered for a high school football game in Dearborn Heights on Saturday were given a real treat thanks to a local mom who managed to pull off quite a surprise.
It was almost halftime at a varsity football game between Divine Child High School and their opponent rival Crestwood. While it looked like your typical Saturday afternoon high school game, what was about to happen was anything but typical.
An announcer called Wynter Nickless out to the field and what happened next was pretty special. Imagine her surprise to see her dad, retired Captain Stewart Nickless, home two months early from Afghanistan.
He had been hiding in a red pickup truck nearby, waiting for the right moment.
"I definitely didn't know," said Wynter Nickless. "It's very exciting."
"I was supposed to be there for six months," said Stewart Nickless. "That turned into four, so we decided to take advantage of it. I had been watching on the other side, it's so good to see her."
Wynter's mother, Daisy, worked with the school and the cheerleading coach set to pull it all off, and it was quite an elaborate plan.
"I'm so excited to be back with my family," said Stewart Nickless. "It feels so good to be back."

Unfortunately, a parent or legal guardian has to give consent for a procedure if the patient is under 18.
Age of Consent
Each state and country has its own variations from a legal standpoint but, in general, someone under the age of consent cannot agree to something legally without a parent or guardian authorizing it. This is, of course, more of a legal than a medical question...I am sorry that you are so uncomfortable, but I'm afraid that until you reach the age of consent for wherever you reside, you will have to defer to your parents' wishes on this matter.

Surgical consent cannot be given by minors
in the US and I assume its the same for most countries. You can either wait until you reach the age of consent and simply tolerate your symptoms or you can have that heart to heart discussion with your mother and convince her that you can benefit from such a procedure. Please realize your impression could be entirely different from the surgeon you choose to see. Surgeons in general will operate if they know with near certainty that the procedure will accomplish your goals.

Labia Minora Reduction for 15 Year Old?
Based on your description, you may be an excellent candidate for labia minora reduction surgery regardless of your age. However, when it comes to informed consent, your parent or legal guardian must be involved.
I would suggest that you sit down with your mother and discuss in a calm/constructive fashion the symptoms the redundant labia minora tissue causes for you. It may even be helpful to take her along to the consultation process.
Best wishes; hopefully you will be able to have the procedure performed soon and will be very pleased with the results of the procedure.

In most cases, until you are 18 years old you need the consent of a parent or legal guardian before having any kind of surgical procedure. A cousin will not be able to substitute.
However, don't despair and although the topic may be uncomfortable, I would really try bringing it up with your mother. Tell her how much it bothers you and about the pain. Sometimes just sitting together with a doctor can help. I have performed a labiaplasty on someone in high school before and shortly after she had her procedure her mother came in to the have a labiaplasty as well. The mother never considered it until her daughter requested it.
If she says no, then be patient and wait few years.

Parental consent for labiaplasty
Although I have actually operated on a 15 yo patient with significant problems from labia minora hyperplasia (overgrowth), it does always require consent from either a parent or legal adult guardian. You may be pleasantly surprised once you open up the discussion with your mother and find out that she empathizes with your concerns more than you think. This is a problem that starts along with the growth spurt of everything else during puberty so it is not surprising that you are faced with this at the age of 15 yo. Glad to help...RAS

Parent or Guardian Needed for Consent
No, you need a parent or adult legal guardian sign for you. Perhaps your cousin can speak to your doctor's office and have one of the nurses call your mother about your condition and the need for surgery. Labiaplasty is one of the most misunderstood operations we do, so a medical explanation is often needed for full understanding.

tea 101: oolong tea
Oolong tea is partially oxidized - usually between 20% and 80% oxidized. Because there's a wide range of possible oxidation, there are many types of oolong teas with myriad characteristics. Tea masters carefully watch over the production process, creating lighter oolongs with less oxidation and darker oolongs that are more thoroughly oxidized. Producers consider the production process for oolongs to be a fine art and often keep certain aspects of their process a secret. Tea connoisseurs value the subtle differences in taste and aroma that can be found across a sampling of oolongs.

A CHANDLER'S Ford School is aiming to break a world record on Friday (Oct 19) with help from Winchester University.
Thornden School is taking part in the world's largest memory game involving a 10-minute test contributing to a national scientific study.
Dr Wendy Kneller from the psychology department at the university is acting as an independent witness to verify the attempt and explain her research into eyewitness memory to the children.
She said: "This is a great opportunity for children to meet real scientists. They will also be able to learn about the various types of memory research that are currently being conducted by scientists in the field."
The test takes place at 2.30pm across the country and has been prepared by psychologist Prof Bruce Hood of the University of Bristol as part of the UK's first-ever 'Biology Week'.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc. shares rose more than five per cent on Tuesday after reports the company is pursuing a takeover of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corp.
Stock in the Toronto-area company was ahead $2.20 to $40.43 on the Toronto Stock Exchange in the early afternoon.
On Monday, a report by The Wall Street Journal suggested that Valeant approached Medicis, based in Washington, in recent weeks as the company's market value on the New York Stock Exchange took a major fall, which could open the possibility of a takeover.
Uncertainty has revolved around the leadership of the company since the unusual death of chief executive Jonah Shacknai's girlfriend in July, and the death of his six-year-old son shortly afterwards from injuries sustained when he fell down the stairs at Mr. Shacknai's mansion.
Both cases raised uncertainty about when the CEO would return to work, and also his involvement in the police investigation. So far no suspects have been named in the case, and investigators said they have not established any connection between the boy's fall and the death of Mr. Shacknai's girlfriend.
Medicis shares were up nearly 8 per cent, or $2.66, to $36.29 (U.S.) on the NYSE.
Valeant, which has its headquarters near Toronto in Mississauga, Ont., was formed last September by the merger of Biovail Corp. and California-based Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.
Since then, Valeant has made a number of corporate and product acquisitions and was forced to back away from one hostile takeover attempt. Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Valeant made a takeover approach to Meda AB, a Swedish specialty drug maker.

A real fast lunch or snack that you can use to throw together random leftover ingredients from the fridge.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 small whole wheat pita bread
- 29.58 ml masala, cooking sauce (Patak's)
- 2 cherry tomatoes, sliced
- 4 slice prosciutto
- 118.29 ml shredded cheese
Directions See How It's Made
- Slice a Thomas Sahara Wheat Pita in half.
- Spread the Masala sauce evenly on both pita slices. I plop a spoonful into the center then use the back of the spoon to swirl it outward. Make sure you are using a ready-to-simmer cooking sauce, not a paste.
- Top both pita slices with cherry tomato slices, then prosciutto, and finally the cheese.
- Toast for 5 minutes in toaster oven.
- I have tried this with a variety of cheeses, meats, and veggies. Mushrooms work especially nice. I plan to try different types of curry sauce in the future.
- One serving should come out to approx 233 calories, 13 fat, 17 carb, 15 protein. Use fat free or low fat cheese for better nutrition.

The concert promoters are seeking $25,000 in damages from the imprisoned rapper for allegedly failing to perform two concerts in Pennsylvania last year.
Imprisoned rapper Gucci Mane has been hit with a lawsuit for allegedly failing to perform two concerts in Pennsylvania last year. Bosses at Marshall Productions and Rockstar Entertainment have filed papers against the hip-hop star, real name Radric Davis, and two business partners, claiming the trio booked two shows in Pittsburgh - and took cash deposits for both - even though they knew that legal restrictions on Mane's travel would prevent the gigs from taking place.
The concert promoters claim the rapper's reps took two deposits of $13,750 to secure his appearance at shows last August. Parole restrictions stemming from a 2005 felony assault prevented the rap star from leaving his home in Georgia at the time.
Violations of his parole agreement eventually resulted in Gucci Mane's arrest and incarceration in November 2009. In the legal papers, filed in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, Marshall Productions' William Marshall and and Derrick Brown of Rockstar Entertainment state, "the defendants engaged in a widespread scheme scheduling concerts they knew would not take place."
The two concert bosses are seeking more than $25,000 in damages.

GREAT-great-grandmother Beatrice Burke is celebrating after her energy provider agreed not to charge her for an unused gas meter.
The 89-year-old woman received a bill of £13.52 from British Gas for having the meter in her kitchen — despite the fact she has never used any gas.
She was told she would have to pay for the meter until it was removed at the end of March, due to a new charge introduced by British Gas in November last year.
But following a story in The Bolton News the company has now had a change of heart.
When Mrs Burke's daughter Rosemarie Simmins telephoned British Gas last Wednesday, they told her that her mum would not have to pay a penny for the meter.
Mrs Burke, who lives in sheltered accommodation in Little Lever, has not had gas in her home since she moved there in August, 2011.
She said: "I am very thankful that the right thing has been done. You can't just sit back and let these companies do something like that to you.
"I'm grateful for the publicity I've received — I feel like a superstar.
"My family and friends have all been supportive and I couldn't have done this without them."
When she moved into her home, Mrs Burke said she was told she would not need to remove the meter, despite the fact it did not work.
However, after British Gas introduced their new standing charge, Mrs Burke faced the prospect of paying 26p per day for the meter from November until January.
Mrs Simmins said: "When I called British Gas, I told them it was unacceptable and that I'd been to The Bolton News and would do so again if this wasn't resolved.
"Thankfully, there seems to have been an element of empathy and kindness and the right thing has been done."
A British Gas spokesman said: "We are very sorry for the worry and inconvenience caused to Mrs Burke by not being able to remove the meter from her home sooner.
"As a gesture of goodwill, we have removed all standing charges on the account.
"We will remove the meter as planned so that Mrs Burke does not receive any further gas bills."

The 2012 Season In Low Home Runs
I suppose this doesn't really need much of an introduction. The season is over, and we have all the data. I'm particularly interested in things that happened at the extremes. At the end of September, I wrote up The 2012 Season In Inside Home Runs. That showed the most inside pitches that were hit for home runs. A week ago, I wrote up The 2012 Season In Outside Home Runs. That showed the most outside pitches that were hit for home runs. Now I'm going to show the lowest pitches that were hit for home runs. I bet you can't guess what comes next in the series!
The thing about all of these pitches, incidentally, is that they were balls. They were really actually strikes — home runs are strikes — but they were destined to be balls, perhaps even intended to be balls, until the batters swung at them and hit them for dingers. Plate discipline is hard to teach for a number of reasons, I'm sure. Any sort of teaching is hard. But one of the reasons is probably that professional hitters are very confident, and not all swings at balls turn out bad. Sometimes they turn out good, allowing one to believe they might always turn out good. "I can punish anything even close to the plate," one might believe. "I can punish anything even if it isn't close to the plate at all," the #1 hitter on this list definitely believes.
We've got us a top five. Or if you prefer, a bottom five! (low-pitches joke) (haha) As usual, PITCHf/x didn't record every single pitch of the entire season, so there exists some possibility that a worthy inclusion has been excluded. Said possibility is small and there's a comments section down there if you have a question about something. The average pitch hit for a home run this year was 2.51 feet off the ground at the front of the plate. That's pretty much right in the middle of the strike zone. The standard deviation was about 0.48 feet. Three standard deviations below the mean is 1.06 feet. Two pitches at least that low were hit for home runs. Let's proceed.
(5) James Loney, August 30, vs. Zack Greinke
1.13 feet off the ground
The first pitch of this at-bat was a curveball just off the outer edge for a called strike. The second pitch of this at-bat was a curveball just below the lower edge for a called strike. The third pitch of this at-bat was a slider well off the plate down and in that James Loney slugged for a home run. Today I learned that James Loney has hit four career home runs in 0-and-2 counts. Today I learned that James Loney has hit four career home runs.
(4) Yoenis Cespedes, June 5, vs. Derek Holland
1.12 feet off the ground
The first pitch of this at-bat was a hanging curveball that Cespedes took for a called strike. The second pitch of this at-bat was a low curveball out of the zone that Cespedes mashed for a dinger. There are a lot of things that could sum up Yoenis Cespedes. This paragraph is one of them.
(3) Pablo Sandoval, September 20, vs. Edgmer Escalona
1.11 feet off the ground
0-and-2 count, fifth pitch of the at-bat, fifth swing by Pablo Sandoval. The first four pitches were all fastballs over the outer half. The fifth pitch was nothing like those. The fifth pitch left the yard in fair territory. I don't know about you but given the benefit of hindsight I feel pretty strongly that Edgmer Escalona should've thrown a different pitch here. Maybe a fastball over the outer half.
(2) Pablo Sandoval, September 19, vs. Tyler Chatwood
1.06 feet off the ground
This pitch is basically the same as the pitch above. During the regular season the Giants hit 31 home runs at home. You've just seen two of them, back-to-back on the list, and they were hit on back-to-back days, by the same player, against the same team, against pitchers of the same handedness, against more or less the same pitches. Baseball's weird. Reminder paragraph.
Sandoval fell behind in the count here 0-and-2, as he does sometimes. Chatwood came with a slider.
Sandoval took it. Chatwood came with another slider.
Sandoval swung at it and homered. We may reasonably conclude:
According to the ESPN Home Run Tracker, by speed off the bat, these last two were two of the three weakest home runs hit in San Francisco all season. Still good enough for this lady:
Note the use of "babies", and not "baby". This lady will have multiple little Pablos. All because Pablo Sandoval once hit a home run off of Tyler Chatwood in a game that meant basically nothing. Have fun explaining that to your unpopular daughters.
(1) Delmon Young, September 2, vs. Chris Sale
0.96 feet off the ground
What were you expecting? What, seriously, were you expecting? This is exactly what you were expecting. About 1.2 percent of the time, the ball jumps off Delmon Young's bat every time. It's not that Chris Sale's plan of attack was wrong. It's that sometimes it's hard to execute a good plan of attack against a guy who doesn't have a plan at all. Delmon Young is never changing, and results like this are why.

At first I thought he was just being polite by not bringing her up. Which is what I would have done and quite frankly I appreciated it.
But now he has decided to tell me of two events in his life that I KNOW about already, I DID NOT go fishing for this information, but he replaced her role in these events with his brother.
Now I know he is making sure I don't know he is with someone new...
If it didn't p*ss me off so much that he out right lied to me I'd think it was funny.
Is this just pity, should I let him know I know just to get it off his back? I hate pity.
Or does he think there is still a possibility we could get back together?
Or is he trying to just have me as a bit on the side when things go badly between him and her?
Or does he just feel she is not important enough to him yet that he just doesn't feel it necessary to hurt me over it?
Why is he doing this?
Also, he was the one that got back in contact with me after a month and half of NC, when I first found out about this girl I stopped trying to talk to him.
Why does my ex not tell me about his new girlfriend?
At first I thought he was just being polite by not bringing her up. Which is what I would have done and quite frankly I appreciated it.

That's a good point. But, to put that question in context we would first have to ask what percentage of the other age groups read? Is the percentage and absolute number of under 30 readers significantly less than the other age groups?
I don't think it is. But I really don't know.
