Top 5 Simple Homemade Christmas Ornament Ideas: Ornaments to Make with Kids
Kids love to help create something that will be hung on the Christmas tree for all to see.
Cereal Wreaths- Take a box of Shredded Wheat or other cereal of the same texture (especially if some has gone stale before you had a chance to eat it!). Pour glue into a bowl and add green food coloring drops at a time until you have the right color. Let the kids roughly break apart the Shredded Wheat into the bowl. As you stir the wheat into the glue, it will break up further. The kids can do this with their hands! Add more wheat or colored glue to get the consistency right. Take a spoonful and shape into a wreath. While the mixture needs to hold together, do not press too tightly together or you will lose the texture. Place on wax or greased paper to dry. Once they are all on the paper, coat with another layer of glue to hold them together. Once dry, embellish with small red beads and a tiny red bow, and hang with ribbon.
Popsicle or Craft Sticks- You can easily turn craft sticks into a variety of shapes and Christmas characters. Five craft sticks can be glued together, overlapping, for a star. Paint with glow-in-the-dark paint for a fun touch. Or, paint a craft stick white, and make a little black hat out of belt. Paint an orange line for the carrot nose, and black dots for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. Tie and ribbon around the stick for a scarf and you have a cute little snowman. Use the same general idea for making a Santa. Create a "sled" by gluing four or five craft sticks next to one another. I prefer the reindeer!
Felt Trees and Gingerbread Men- Use cookie cutters or download a pattern for your preferred Christmas shape. For Gingerbread Men, use rick rack (the white squiggly stuff!) to make a border around the outside of the felt. Add googly eyes, felt buttons, a little bowtie, and more. For the felt trees, you sequins to create garland and mini-ornaments, and don't forgot the gold star on top!
Puzzle Piece Reindeer/Wreath- Gather up spare puzzle pieces from incomplete or mixed-up puzzles (this always seems to happen with young kids). Paint the puzzle pieces green if you want to make a wreath. Use several different colors for a varied look. Allow to dry and glue together into a circle, layering the pieces. Tie a red bow at the bottom and hang with an ornament hanger or a ribbon. For the reindeer, paint the pieces brown and create a head by layering several together. Glue 1-2 pieces for each antler. Add a red pom pom for the nose and googly eyes.

All hail, pork belly, nature's striated masterpiece of fat and lean, the succulent essence of pig.
On the plate, pork belly appears in countless guises. The lattice paving atop a Cantonese dish of braised bitter greens. The hickory-burnished slabs wheeled out of a Kentucky smokehouse. The crisp nuggets strewn over a frisée salad. The fork-soft slabs you fished out of your last choucroute. In Los Angeles, some Korean restaurants serve practically nothing but the belly sliced thin, grilled atop charcoal braziers set into the tables, and served with a swipe of sesame oil and a sprinkle of salt. When I organized a food event last spring with 40 of my favorite chefs cooking to support an environmental organization, nearly half of them served pork belly of one kind or another, and Octavio Becerra's pork-belly banh mi was one of the best things I've ever tasted. Commodity-exchange comedians don't make jokes about pork belly futures any more.
Pork belly contains within itself both the potential for juice-spurting transgression and the wholesomeness of Sunday-morning breakfast, the more lewd pleasures of screaming excess and the quiet satisfaction that comes with making something delicious out of something inexpensive (or what was once inexpensive and is now merely affordable). Last year after I ordered half a plum-fed pork belly from Heritage Foods USA, I stayed up through the night pondering what I might do with the splendid piece of meat—smoke it or braise it, dry-rub it with fennel pollen and rosemary or cumin and mortar-ground chile pequin, invite the neighbors or hoard it for my family. I ended up slow-roasting it and serving it with a Santa Rosa plum compote to friends.
Now that pork belly has passed its peak of media saturation and fashionable chefs have moved on to ears, feet, and eyeballs, it may be time for the rest of us to explore its more subtle but no less luxurious qualities, its tendency to forgive even the longest braises, its crackling surface that melts away to almost nothing, something even the most trepidatious home cook can tease out. Let us celebrate the belly's divinely piggy meatiness. Its utter adaptability to flavors Thai or French, Japanese or Czech. Its three-star kitchen results without the three-star kitchen.–Jonathan Gold

Pork Belly Confit Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 6 as an appetizer
- For the brine
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
- 12 bay leaves
- 3 large rosemary sprigs
- 1/2 bunch thyme
- 1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley
- 1/2 cup garlic cloves, crushed, papery skin left on
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 cup (5 ounces) kosher salt
- 8 cups water
- For the confit
- 1 batch pork brine
- One 2 1/2-pound slab pork belly
- About 6 cups (3 pounds) lard, at room temperature
- For the assembly
- Canola oil
- Coarse sea salt
- Make the brine
- 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot, cover, and bring to a boil. Heat for 1 minute, stirring to dissolve the salt, then remove from the heat and let cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 3 days.
- 2. Pour the brine into a container large enough to hold the pork. Add the pork, cover, and refrigerate for 10 hours (but no longer as the pork may become salty).
- Make the confit
- 3. Remove the pork from the brine, discarding the liquid. Rinse the pork under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels or let it air dry.
- 4. Preheat the oven to 200°F (93°C). Reach for an ovenproof pot that's only slightly larger than the porkand has a lid, such as a 12-quart Dutch oven. Place the pork in the pot and add enough lard to cover it by 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Attach a thermometer to the side of the pot.
- 5. Place the pot over low heat until the lard registers 190°F (87°C). Cover the pot, transfer it to the oven, and heat until the pork is meltingly tender. This will probably take 5 1/2 to 6 hours, but start checking after 4 hours. (As the fat in the pork melts, the piece of pork will shrink, so it's best to transfer the pork and enough lard to cover it to a smaller pot about midway through cooking.)
- 6. Remove the pot from the oven and let the pork cool to room temperature. The pork can be refrigerated as-is, enveloped by lard in the pot, for up to 1 week. (We prefer to first gently press the confit to compress the internal layers and force out some of the excess fat. This results in a better texture and appearance. To press the confit, transfer it to a baking dish and pour just enough lard into the dish to barely cover it. Cover the belly loosely with plastic wrap, place a smaller baking dish on top of it and weight it with a brick, a large can, a cast-iron skillet, or something of similar weight. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Cover and refrigerate the reserved lard. After it's been pressed, the pork can be covered with some of the reserved lard and refrigerated for up to 1 week.)
- Serve the confit
- 7. Remove the pot from the refrigerator and let it sit in a warm spot for 2 to 3 hours. You want the lard to soften enough so you can scrape it from the pork, yet you want the pork to remain as cold as possible so it will be relatively easy to slice.
- 8. Remove the pork from the pot and wipe off any lard that clings to the meat. (The lard can be reused to confit additional pork as long as it doesn't taste too salty. To reserve the lard, pour it into a pot and heat gently to liquefy, then strain through a fine-mesh conical strainer into a storage container. Refrigerate for up to 2 months or freeze for up to 6 months.)
- 9. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin from the pork. Score the fat on the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern. Slice the pork or cut it into squares (actually, the belly can be cut into any shape) and let it rest at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.
- 10. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 11. Heat some canola oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat just until smoking. Place the pieces of confited pork, fat-side-down, in the skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan. (You may need to work in batches.) Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the excess fat is rendered and the fatty side is browned, about 18 minutes. You will need to pour off any excess fat about halfway through cooking. When the pork is browned, transfer the skillet to the oven until the belly is heated through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the salt, and serve.

The Seven Most Amazingly Shojo Moments In "X-Men: Misfits"
The recently released "X-Men: Misfits" by Raina Telgemeier, Dave Roman, and AnZu is the second book to come out from a deal allowing Del Rey to produce Original English Language manga stories starring Marvel characters. The first, "Wolverine: Prodigal Son," hit shelves last year, and while that book was based around the speed-lines and karate face-kicks of action manga, "Misfits" takes a different route entirely.
Yes, this one follows the path of the shojo, or "young girls'" manga, telling the story of a young Kitty Pryde trying to find love as the only girl at the Xavier Academy, and we're not gonna lie: as suckers for stories about high school drama mixed with super-powers, we love it. It's got a fresh take on old characters that includes some highly entertaining redesigns and a story that, while dramatic enough to make even the regular X-Men seem calm, is reallly engaging. What we love most about it, though, is just how darn shojo it is.

Arguments against Common Core standards don't hold weight0 Comments
The Tennessee Senate Education Committee held hearings on adoption of the Common Core State Standards last week. The hearings were called by the committee's chairwoman, Sen. Delores Gresham, R-Somerville, to "enlighten our understanding, not provoke animosity" as controversy around the standards, which 47 states have adopted in part or whole, has been rampant in the last several months.
As with any issue, there are two sides to this spirited debate, but one side seems to be relying on mis-information, while the other is set on bringing Governor Bill Haslam's initial intention of being a full-implementation Common Core state to fruition.
The ones in opposition to this decision cite improper student data usage, power-hungry textbook companies and the limiting of the state's role in education as their main arguments. However, these arguments, when logically examined, hold very little weight.
Tennessee has been tracking and reporting student growth measures since 1991, a full 10 years prior to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. There has never been a question of the propriety of this tracking system. In fact, it has been lauded as the "most sophisticated and mature school accountability system in use today" (Education Consumers Foundation, 2012). Common Core data reporting will resemble current TVAAS reporting, and will give an accurate picture of a teacher's ability to help students learn. If TVAAS reporting has never raised ethical issues, why are we debating the ethics of this type of reporting now?
The argument that seems to be most fundamental to the opponents of Common Core is the one regarding the limiting of the state's role in determining the curriculum of its students. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Common Core State Standards simply provide research-based yearly benchmarks that show a student's readiness for college and career. The consortium of states has left it to the individual states to determine the curricula for achieving those benchmarks. Common Core State Standards adoption is not a federalizing of education.
Another argument against Common Core adoption is that it limits a school district's ability to choose textbooks. I would challenge any concerned citizen to take part in the textbook adoption process at his or her child's school and compare the textbook choices we have had under our current Tennessee Content Standards to the textbook choices available with Common Core State Standards. The difference between number and quality of choice will be negligible. It does seem that this topic is of main concern, so the Tennessee Senate Education Committee will hold additional hearings on textbooks in November.
The arguments we should be focusing on are the ones from Tennessee exemplary teachers like Cicely Woodard and Philip Eller who have implemented Common Core practices and seen improvements in engagement, motivation and achievement. We should be focusing on the research behind these standards, and the fact that they were written by educators for educators. We need to focus on the obvious need for change, as evidenced by our students' inability to compete in a global marketplace. We should be focusing on the promise of Common Core and not the price of implementation.
After all, if you think implementing a new set of standards is too expensive, try calculating the cost of an entire generation of American citizens who are unprepared for work or college. Einstein once defined insanity as doing the same thing, but expecting different results. If we derail the current educational course in Tennessee, we may just go down in history as proving Einstein's definition.

On Monday we mentioned that the Rev. Jayme Mathias, a former Roman Catholic priest, had become the first openly gay person elected to the Austin school board last week. Well, here's a pretty good reminder as to why it still matters — even in a relatively progressive city like our state capital.
The Austin American-Statesman reports that the Austin Independent School District has canceled a play about two male penguins raising a baby penguin together, over concerns about age appropriateness. The play, And Then Came Tango, was written by UT graduate student Emily Freeman, and is based on the real-life story of two penguins at New York's Central Park Zoo who were given a hatchling named Tango to raise.
AISD regularly allows UT grad students to stage their works in the district's schools to satisfy degree requirements, and Freeman's piece was scheduled to be performed in 10 elementary schools. Greg Goodman, the district's fine arts director, explained the decision to cancel Freeman's play in a letter to Coleman Jennings, the head of UT's theater program.
"The subject matter communicated in the play is a topic that Austin ISD believes should be examined by parents/guardians who will discuss with their elementary school age children at a time deemed appropriate by the parents/guardians," Goodman wrote.
Freeman disagrees.
"The play is about different families," and under state teaching standards, that's appropriate for kindergarten, she told the Statesman, referring to state curriculum standards. "I can't see the argument that it's not age appropriate for kids in second and third grade."
"Throughout the play, the definition of family is extended beyond normative representations," Freeman added in a press release. "Family is an entire colony of penguins, a young girl and her single mom, a zookeeper and the animals he tends, and two male penguins and their adopted egg. As these family structures are threatened in the play, we learn the power of voicing your opinions and standing up for your beliefs, no matter how old you are."
Freeman says she's still working to try to get the play approved by the district, but it's also now scheduled for free performances at a campus theater from Nov. 30 through Dec. 2.
In the meantime, perhaps the LGBT community should make sure district officials are aware how we feel about this decision.
The main number for AISD offices is 512-414-1700. The superintendent is Meria Carstarphen, and you can reach her by email at email@example.com.
The main number for the Board of Trustees office is 512-414-1704, and the email is firstname.lastname@example.com. A complete list of current board members (Mathias doesn't take office until the new year) can be found here.

CALABASAS (CNS) – Three lanes of the westbound Ventura (101) Freeway were blocked in Calabasas today, as firefighters quickly knocked down a small brush fire near the Las Virgenes Road interchange.
Firefighters were dispatched at 11:32 a.m. to reports of a burning hillside next to the freeway, and the fire out in 10 minutes. A county fire station sits one block away.
The California Highway Patrol had issued a SigAlert at 11:47 a.m. because the right three lanes of the five-lane freeway were blocked by fire trucks, as the mop-up continued.

On the field, St. Louis (MO) athlete Aarion Penton is a take-charge playmaker.
So, it only made sense for him to be proactive when he came to his recruitment.
Penton, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound athlete, arrived in Columbia on Saturday for Missouri's Junior Day. At the time, Penton didn't have an offer. Missouri's coaching staff began expressing interest in him during his junior season. He led CBC with 40 catches for 842 yards and 13 touchdowns, and added 51 tackles and two interceptions on defense.
But, an offer hadn't materialized. Despite that fact, Penton took charge.
"It felt like there was a lot of love there," Penton said. "There was a lot of attention toward me. I spoke with all the coaches, and they saw my highlight tape and said they liked everything about me. I thought it was a good place to be."
Penton talked with his recruiting coach, Cornell Ford. Ford asked Penton what he thought, and Penton didn't mince his words.
"I told him I loved it. I loved the school," Penton said.
Soon, Penton talked to head coach Gary Pinkel. He was even more forthcoming.
"I told him I wanted to be a Mizzou Tiger," Penton said.
Penton committed before even receiving an offer. Immediately, however, Pinkel did offer, and Penton's recruitment began and ended in one conversation.
Penton said he's grown up a Missouri fan, so the decision was easy. He was born in Columbia, but lived in Memphis, Tenn., before moving to St. Louis. Penton said he still has family in the Memphis area.
"I've been in Missouri most of my life, though," Penton said.
With his decision made, there's only one choice left for Penton. He needs to decide on a position. Missouri is recruiting him as a cornerback or a slot receiver, but is leaving the choice in his hands.
"I can't decide right now if I want to play offense or defense," Penton said. "I told them I'll play whatever position helps the team."
While Penton's speed and agility make him an electric athlete, he said his best quality on the football field is his desire.
"I always give 110 percent," Penton said. "I'll do whatever it takes for my team to be successful."

THE roll out of 20 mph speed limits in residential areas of Burnley, Hyndburn, Rossendale and Chorley is to be speeded up after the county council transferred £1 million from its public health budget.
The decision by health boss Azhar Ali is further endorsement of the Lancashire Telegraph's 'Slower Speeds, Safer Children' campaign.
This aims to bring the lower limit to all residential areas across East Lancashire.
It was launched last summer after government figures showed Blackburn with Darwen was officially the worst local authority in England under-16s killed or badly hurt on its roads.
The county is committed to rolling out 20 mph zones in all its 12 boroughs including Pendle, Hyndburn, Rossendale and Ribble Valley.
Last week Coun Ali, who represents Nelson South, approved the cash transfer to boost the implementation of the 20mph programme.
He said using the public health grant to help pay for the zones boosted other health and wellbeing initiatives.
Blackburn with Darwen Council is awaiting results of a sign-only 20 mph zone in Mill Hill before deciding whether to extend the lower limit to all residential streets.
Leading campaigner, Liberal Democrat leader David Foster, said: "I am delighted to see the county council pressing ahead with the roll-out of 20 mph zones in residential areas and its acceptance of its health benefits.
"I just wish Blackburn with Darwen Council would stop delaying this life-saving safety programme in our borough."
Former county Tory leader Geoff Driver said: "I welcome the county council pressing ahead but when we lost control of the authority last year there was enough money in the roads budget to pay for its full implementation."
Blackburn with Darwen regeneration director Brian Bailey said: "We are piloting a 20mph sign-only area in Mill Hill.
"More than 400 roads in the borough already have 20 mph limits."
A county council spokesman said: "It is a priority for the county council to continue to reduce deaths and injuries on our roads"

Authorities confirmed Monday that a body found in a rural area has been identified as an Orange County man who went missing Oct. 31.
The body of Todd Hansen, 43, was found in open desert in the Lucerne Valley about 3:30 p.m. Sunday, said Lisa Denardo, a San Bernardino County deputy coroner investigator.
Orange County authorities say Hansen contacted his employer by email Oct. 31, saying that he wasn't feeling well and was going to an emergency room to seek medical treatment.
Hansen's friends and family became worried after not hearing from him for several days. Orange County Sheriff's Department investigators later learned that there was no record of Hansen visiting a local hospital.
Last week, Sheriff's Department officials released a description of Hansen and his distinctive 1961 vintage Jeep "Willys" truck, hoping someone had seen him or the vehicle.
Coroner's officials have not yet carried out an autopsy of Hansen's body, Denardo said. While the cause of his death has not been officially determined, authorities said foul play is not suspected.

$9K artwork bought for $12 at Milwaukee Goodwill
Holiday bargain-hunters may want to head to Goodwill. A picture that sold for around $12 at a thrift store in Milwaukee turned out to be a print by American artist Alexander Calder worth $9,000.
It is at least the fourth time in six months that valuable art has turned up at Goodwill. A spokeswoman for the charity said workers try to spot valuables and auction them off on a website, but some are missed, which is part of what makes shopping there such an adventure.
The picture sold in Milwaukee is called "Red Nose." It's an abstract image that resembles the face of an ape, all black and white except for a red nose. Its buyer, media relations specialist Karen Mallet, has no immediate plans to sell it.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - More than 125 people jammed into the hearing room at the Maritime Center at Port Canaveral to learn about the port's plan for new boat launches.
Local 6 news partner Florida Today reports the room became so crowded prior to the meeting's start that some people were turned away and forced to watch the hearing on a television screen in the Maritime Center's reception area.
"This is a discussion about jobs and growth and the future of the community," John Walsh, chief executive officer of the Canaveral Port Authority, said in a statement released prior to the start of the hearing.
"Moving boat ramps to new and better locations is simply one step in the big picture so we can facilitate one of primary and immediate drivers we have for that growth. This is a good challenge and discussion for this community to have. It is not about what we change, it's about all we have to gain."
Walsh later told those attending no decisions have been finalized as to where the ramps will be located, and that the ramps won't be closed in the interim of finding an new sites.
Walsh promised port officials would listen to what they have to say.

Gonzales' debut doubles as homecoming
DENVER -- The thought of Coors Field can be daunting to pitchers unfamiliar with the altitude. Lucky for the Cardinals, they have a Colorado native fast-tracking his way through their system.
Manager Mike Matheny announced Monday that Double-A Springfield left-hander Marco Gonzales, the club's No. 4 prospect, will be called upon to start Wednesday in place of Jaime Garcia, who was placed on the disabled list with left shoulder discomfort. Gonzales was set to start the Texas League All-Star Game on Tuesday but he'll make his Major League debut a day later instead.
"We just think there have been a lot of things going in a good direction [for Gonzales]," said Matheny. "I think he's ready ... he deserves an opportunity."
Gonzales, 22, was the Cardinals' top pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft out of Gonzaga, and he played for Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins. His father, Frank, is the pitching coach for the Rockies' short-season Class A affiliate, Tri-City.
Matheny stressed the Cardinals decision came down to Gonzales being "the guy who can help us win," not his familiarity with the mile-high air. Still, he did admit the latter gives Gonzales an edge over some of his peers he leapfrogged.
"You start thinking, 'OK, if there's a kid from Florida who hears about Coors Field [he] might be a little more hesitant coming in not knowing what to expect," said Matheny. "I don't think there's that as much for a kid [where] this is what they grew up in."
Gonzales started his season in Class A Advanced Palm Beach, registering a 1.43 ERA in 37 2/3 innings, before being promoted to Double-A. In seven starts with Springfield, he struck out 46 against 33 hits and 10 walks in 38 2/3 innings.
"He's the kind of pitcher I used to love to catch," said Matheny. "[Gonzales] is a guy who can handle real, small, incremental adjustments on the plate. [He has] a real nice changeup and can get a lot of ground balls and a lot of early outs."
Gonzales is expected to join St. Louis on Tuesday. The Cardinals will have to clear room for him on their 40-man and 25-man rosters.

'It's a rich tool for anyone interested in exploring the amazing diversity of human household populations in the U.S.'- Bill Wheaton, director of RTI's Geospatial Science and Technology Program
Research Triangle Park, NC (PRWEB) October 21, 2013
Synthetic populations viewer allows users to look at realistic, computer-generated households across the country by age, income, race and household size.
A new web-based mapping site allows users to see stark racial boundaries, subtle shifts in income, and intricate patterns of race, age, household size and income for any location in the United States.
The map, known as the synthetic population viewer and developed by researchers at RTI International, allows users to look at how the U.S. population organizes itself across the landscape and how age, income, race and household size vary within cities.
"This new era of complex, synthetic household data enables fine-scale, multidimensional demographic patterns and microcommunities to emerge from simple-to-use, web-based maps," said Bill Wheaton, director of RTI's Geospatial Science and Technology program.
The interactive map contains a representation of more than 112 million households and more than 280 million individuals in all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. The information is based on the 2005–2009 American Community Survey.
Unlike typical census maps by county or census tract, these synthetic microdata are a representation of individual households.
"The data represent the reality of the U.S. household population very well. By representing each and every household as a point on the map, a wealth of complex patterns becomes apparent," Wheaton said. "In order to protect privacy, the interactive map doesn't show actual households in their exact locations like Google Earth. Nonetheless, the data represent real households in reasonably accurate detail, enabling the map to show complex population distributions."
"It's a rich tool for anyone interested in exploring the amazing diversity of human household populations in the U.S.," Wheaton said.
Available online, the map and underlying data are free for use by everyone, from GIS professionals to college students working on projects to the general public simply interested in looking at population patterns.
"The underlying data can be used in computer simulations to track the spread of infectious disease or to understand how transportation networks are used, how people make choices about where to live, how a given intervention might affect obesity, how best to optimize supply chain operations, and many other uses," Wheaton said. "But, aside from these complex research simulations, simply mapping the data as we've done with this viewer tells a story that everyone can understand."
The project was funded as part of the Models of Infectious Disease Agent Study (MIDAS) grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. MIDAS is a multimillion dollar bioterrorism defense initiative to help infectious disease researchers understand the dynamics of disease and test various mitigation options to reduce the effects of epidemics.

I fiddled with this thing trying to get this picture just straight posted on here for 10 minutes, but it never seems to let me.
I gotta say, I LOVE this new logo. Growing up in Charlotte I saw a lot of Hornets games and they were always my second favorite team in the NBA(Sonics close 3rd). I am really excited to have them back, I think this will be great for Charlotte and the NBA. Charlotte never really bought into the Bobcats, getting back to the team the city loved should help.
I remember back in the day when kids used to have these clownin' Starter jackets:
I like the logo, very nice, makes Houston's newish logo look even more terrible by comparison
Wish the P's would update their logo
What would you change about it?
I wish the Pacers would have never done the slight alteration to the logo in 2005.
they did that to increase their branding versatility and consistency. Hard to put a Blue "P" on a Blue background with out putting a white outline around everything all the time. The gray outline ensures that the logo can pretty much go on any sort of background with out having to slightly alter.
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
It's indeed a minor complaint. I don't care as much about the outline as I do the font. I like the 1990-05 font. Again, very minor complaint.
Not bad, but could have been better.
I think it'd be fun if we integrated a mascot or otherwise an animal/character into ours. Either a panther or technically you could tie in a 'pacer' with being a horse, and go with that.
Honestly idk but the logo is plain boring. They could jazz it up (no pun intended) a bit.
The Hugo logo looks like he's about to take a huge dump, otherwise good changes.
"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
----------------- Reggie Miller
I really like the logo, I think they nailed it.
Great logo. Now they need to just have the old pinstripes and they will be perfect.
The basketball abdomen is what sells it for me...
Edit Signature
I don't like it, too angular. Just bring back the old original.
Best throwback night ever!
...and also, I know Mugsy is short but DAMN....that seriously looks like bring your son to work day.

good youtube intro
They have 3; I don't like the above one as much, but there's another one more like the classic logo that I do like.
That logo looks almost identical to the Pelicans logo to me... not complaining, but it really does.
I like it. Looks mean and intimidating.
Bleh, I don't like it. Don't like any of these new logos with their sharp angles and ugly fonts. Reminds me of the XFL. Like Sollozzo, I don't like the newer Pacers font either.

HOUSTON - Dozens of families at a southwest Houston apartment complex may ring in the new year without hot water in their homes.
Since Dec. 20, several families at the Villas of Hillcroft apartments in the 6300 block of Skylind said they have had to heat their water on the stove.
Elizabeth Troncoso said she uses that heated water to bathe her 3-month-old and 3-year-old daughters.
"I'm bathing my kids out of a bucket and I'm having to boil hot water," said Troncoso. "To me, this is ridiculous."
Troncoso said the cold Houston temperatures only add to their frustrations.
This isn't the first time Local 2 has found problems at the apartments. In November, consumer expert Amy Davis dropped by the office when residents said managers were illegally shutting off their electricity to individual units.
"The only thing I can say to them is what they're doing is not right," said Yovel Torres, a renter.
In September, the power was out for three days. Residents said they were overwhelmed with mosquitoes because they had to keep their windows open.
The city of Houston told Local 2 the complex is waiting on a part needed to make the repair for the water. That same city representative first told Amy Davis that hot water isn't required by law, but Local 2 discovered it is.
According to the Texas Code of Ordinances, landlords must provide and maintain, in good operating condition, a device to supply hot water at a minimum temperature of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
The city said The Villas of Hillcroft has at least 19 violations. Inspectors have tried to give the owners time to make needed repairs. A city representative said the owners told them they will get the hot water back on Monday night.

Marian Marzynski is an estemeed documentary filmmaker who's told many stories over the years. Now he's decided that his story is worth telling.
BOSTON — When he was 5 years old, Marian Marzynski's parents hatched a plan to smuggle him out of the Warsaw Ghetto.
It was 1942, and Marzynski and his family were among the 40,000 Jews rounded up two years earlier by the Nazis, confined to the 1.3-square-mile ghetto in the heart of the city. To stay alive, Marzynski's parents warned him, you must forget who you are.
That lesson in survival shepherded the young boy over the next three years as he hid from his tormentors, separated from his parents. He eventually became one of the few child survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto.
Marzynski (born Marian Kuszner) would go on to become an Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker in the United States. Now, 70 years later, after a career in which he made acclaimed films about Polish Jewry and the Holocaust, Marzynski has trained the camera on himself, telling his own story and those of other survivors in Never Forget to Lie, a film that will be broadcast on April 30 on the PBS series Frontline.
In the film, Marzynski retraces his early years, chronicling his parents' secular lives in prewar Warsaw, their confinement in the ghetto, his escape to the Polish side of the wall, and his journey to the Catholic orphanage where he embraced life as a dutiful altar boy.
With an artful, empathetic hand, he tells the stories of other survivors as well, capturing their childhood memories as they grapple with the trauma and loss of their early lives. There are uplifting scenes, too, of Jewish culture and heritage being celebrated in Krakow.
"If there is news in this film, it's about a new perception of the Holocaust," said Marzynski in an interview in his suburban Boston home. "It's basically a question of unfinished business. We are coming back to our childhood — a stolen childhood."
Most Holocaust films have focused on the harsh realities of life in the concentration camps, not child survivors, so Marzynski views his film as a corrective of sorts, and a timely one at that. Child survivors are the last witnesses, and Marzynski says they have reached a point in their lives where they are ready to share their stories with the world.
After the war, Marzynski reunited with his mother. His father, who escaped a transport train to a death camp, was murdered in the forest outside of Warsaw. Unlike most survivors, Marzynski remained in Poland with his mother, who remarried another survivor, and took his stepfather's name.
Marzynski became a journalist and a celebrated Polish radio and television personality. But in 1969, during a wave of politically motivated anti-Semitism in Poland, Marzynski fled to Denmark with his family — his wife, their young son and his mother and stepfather — before resettling in the U. S.
"We did not want our son to have to live the lie that I had to live," he said.
In Never Forget to Lie, Marzynski ventures for the first time into the forest where his father was murdered. The camera lingers as he holds his father's watch, saying that it is the first time he is wearing it. For a few moments, the usually voluble director can hardly speak.
Marzynski hopes the film reaches a wide audience, especially non-Jews. The survivor stories reflect the universal human experience, he says.
Marzynski got a taste of that broader resonance in January, when he and his wife were invited to join a group of 560 European high school students and 85 teachers on a trip from Tuscany to Poland on the Treno della Memoria ("train of memory"), an Italian Holocaust education project. After visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau and seeing his film, many students approached him, fascinated to meet a survivor. He says he was impressed by how eager they were to learn about this history, and how their perspectives seemed to have been completely changed.
"I want non-Jews to know the Holocaust in such a way that they can apply it to their own lives," Marzynski said. "This is the job I am doing, transferring the Holocaust experience to a new audience."
Never Forget to Lie will air on Tuesday, April 30, at 10 p.m. on PBS.

Sorry if this is not the right topic area to post this discussion (I didnt see a disc flight section or something like that). I just got a KC Roc (max weight) and it is the best approach disc I have ever used! I love it. I got a few birdy drives with it as well.
However I don't understand why a Roc has a turn 0 and fade 3. If I drive with a buzzz, and keep it somewhat on a hyzer it goes left pretty consistency (given the wind). But the Roc always escapes too far right for me. With best results it S curves (as a driver). I always try to emphasis the hyzer on the shot. Why is it that Innova didn't give it like a -3, 2 or something like that?
When I use the Roc as a mid range then it does hyzer very nicely. I have a VP putter and that hyzers way better than my Roc off the tee!! And it cant be that high of a speed.
Are the Innova numbers just kind of pointless here? Or do they only assume you wont drive with the disc?
Does anyone else get this behavior from their roc? Do I just need to throw it like a SS disc off the tee?

THE group at the centre of the conversion of a historic Bolton church into a space- age community centre is inviting the whole town to a family fun day to celebrate the progress of its transformation.
The behind the scenes day has been organised by the newly-named All Souls Bolton — formerly Compton Community Group — on Saturday.
For the first time since building work began, the public will have the chance to look inside All Souls church before renovations are completed in autumn.
Bolton North East MP David Crausby has already visited the church to see the work being done.
The event, which runs from 11am to 3pm takes place in the Cobden Community Centre next to the Astley Street church.
Owner, the Churches Conservation Trust has been working with All Souls Bolton to transform the building into an inspirational place for connecting the community through heritage, skills training, creativity and business.
Behind the scenes tours will run every half hour from 11am to 3pm.
Andrew Suter, All Souls director, said: "This will be a unique opportunity for people of Bolton to get a sneak peek inside one of the most innovative and creative spaces ever built in the town.
It's the perfect time to tell people about our name change to All Souls Bolton and to demonstrate that we are here for everyone in the town."
There will be something for all ages, including a free children's magic show, face painting and balloons.
Building contractors Carefoot Plc will be running practical taster sessions throughout the day in which visitors can try their hand at bricklaying, plumbing and electrical skills.
All Souls will be providing free training in collaboration with Bolton College and people will be asked what categories of courses they may like to attend.
They will also have the opportunity to see some of the photographs and film from recent community projects, and find out how to get involved.

The form code in the web page is:

I would like to miss the echo page out, and have the user go straight to contact2.php when pressing "send",
Forgive what is probably a basic and simple request, but I am a novice with no background in programming etc.
Hi Denis,
You can redirect the user directly to contact2.php using the header function, like this:
header('Location: http://www.la-matha.com/contact2.php');
It's important to note that you must call the function before outputting anything to the screen, otherwise you'll get an error.
Here's the full example of your mail.php page with the page redirection code added. I've also added some basic filtering of your form data, which is always a good idea when you're dealing with input from users. Although I've not shown it here, you might also want to check that the email address supplied is valid, and $message isn't empty before you send the email.
$name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'name', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$email = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email', FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
$message = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'message', FILTER_SANITIZE_SPECIAL_CHARS);
$formcontent = "From: $name \
Message: $message";
$recipient = "firstname.lastname@example.com";
$subject = "Contact Form";
$mailheader = "From: $email \\r\
if ( mail($recipient, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) ){
header('Location: http://www.la-matha.com/contact2.php');
} else {
// Would be better to present some kind of friendly error for your users!
Thanks for the help - it works exactly as I want it to. I'm not going to bother with validation - to be honest, I don't expect much traffic, but I wanted something that looked professional.
Help from sitepoint is always appreciated!
you can redirect to the user page using header function but it behave differently on each server and its not worked in some server so another way is,
$targetPage ="http://www.la-matha.com/contact2.php";

Topic: Staring a new clinical trial..HELP
Hello to all those battling cancer out there
This is not my first visit to these discussion boards, but this is my very first post and way of reaching out. In February of this year, my mother, was diagnosed with Stage IV Metatsatic Liver cancer (primary unknown). After rounds of tests, bloodwork and the beginning of treatments, we have finally been able to focus in on the true primary, which has been determind to be bile ducts (or as you all know, Cholangiocarcinoma). It has been a difficult diagnosis to swallow, but my mother has remained adamant in her fight and we continue to stand by her...as we will not give up.
I am reaching out to those fighting this disease, whether you are fighting it yourself, or fighting it along with your family members with this disease. We have had many ups and downs along this road, and have recently been faced with yet another bump in our road.
My mothers first treatment began just weeks after being diagnosed with rounds of chemo every 3 weeks, of Taxol and Carboplatin. We followed her progress with CT scans after every 3rd treamtent, and initially were pleasantly surprised to find some shinkage and progess. As time progressed and chemo treaments moved on however, we were soon faced with a little disappointment to find the chemo treament had stopped working and a few spots had come back.
And so a new path began, mom had a port placed and began new chemotherapy treaments, with Gemzar and Oxalitplatin. And as before, we have just recently checked her progress with another CT scan.
Unfortunately this new chemotherapy is not taking charge, and some spots have again increased in size. While the news is more difficult each time, we again, continue to fight and pray that her doctors know what is best. We are being treated at Mayo hospital in Rochester, and couldn't be more pleased with the care so far. Doctors are recommending starting her on a clinical trial after a couple weeks break from her chemotherapy. And so now the wait begins. The wait for the chemo to get out of her system, and the wait to find out which clinical trial will suit her best to try and kick this thing.
I research daily, ask questions daily, and sometimes I don't know where to turn. Is there anyone out there who can help me learn more about clinical trials that are best for her cancer, or those who have seen success? I don't even know where to begin, but need to do my part.
Thank you all for your time reading my very long post....
A concerned daughter

They have brought the club into the 21st century, making sure that cycling is for all, regardless of their abilities, gender, age or background. There can't be many clubs in the UK who can boast of 45-50 riders setting forth on a Saturday morning for an enjoyable bike ride. John and Beryl had the foresight to encourage beginners and "returners to cycling" and adapted rides to suit their capabilities. John has looked after the complete beginners (of all ages) and taught them how to ride a bike so that they would be comfortable enough to join the slow ride on Saturday mornings. He gives people confidence with his patience and encouragement.
Because of John and Beryl, we now have a ride every day of the week except for Mondays. Excellent organisers/managers, they deal tirelessly with H.Q. paper work; keeping club members' membership updated; answering phone calls from would-be cyclists; dealing with publicity, liaising with Birmingham Council on cycling issues, reporting potholes and balancing the books efficiently each year.
They have organised numerous very successful Club weekends away, searching out routes and refreshment stops. In addition because of their huge capacity and talent for organising, for many years, John and Beryl organised the Northern Audax, the Northern Jumble Sale; Meriden weekend and the Club 100.
John and Beryl have fertile minds and are always thinking of new ideas as to how they can improve and build on the running of the club. They are so enthusiastic about cycling and want the world to realise what a difference it can make to one's life. They want people to realise the immense pleasure cycling can offer.

Since these are so cheap I thought I'd try it out, and I'm so glad I did. I don't understand why Sony didn't design it this way in the first place. It easily snaps on and off. But doesn't ever feel like it will come out during gaming. My wife even wondered why Sony didn't design it like this in the first place and she isn't even a gamer!
You can get them from Amazon here for only $4.99

Ok, here it is. After months of retooling and trying to cut down on some molds (mind you I still carry a boatload of discs on me) here it is..
KC's for throwing
JK for putting
Sharks(I disliked Rocs so don't go there)
DX for turnover (workin on beatin it in)
Star for straight
I have a Pro and a Champ in the mail also to see how they compare
Champion (it has a large bead, does that make the an X?) for utility, thumbers, tommy's etc.
Star without the bead for long sweeping midrange hyzers
Champ - 1 beat (straight as an arrow) and 1 new
Star - wide open distance (try to not beat it up too bad) under 360
Champion - 1 getting beat and 1 new for more open shots
Star - 1 getting beat and 1 new for more open shots
Champ - windy day bombs ( its beefy)
Star - good old fashioned distance
Pro - (the most understable) big sidearms or maybe a tailwind
Well, there you have it. I think I know what some of the replies will entail but maybe it will take hearing it from other people to make a difference. Enjoy!

Looks like Paul is shooting for the All-Star team this year, and is going to look to be much more aggressive!
Before anyone knocks him for that JO-ish quote, read what he said immediately afterward. Team more important.
If he wants to be an All-Star, I sure hope he REALLY improved those handles...
Goodness they were brutal to watch.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
He could make the team, along with Roy, but only if he DRASTICALLY improves his ball handling and his scoring average.
Thanks scoop
I think I speak for Pacer Nation when I say, We want you to be an all-star too".
As long as its not to the detriment of the team. Which he seems to understand. Its a great thing he is setting his goals so high, since his ceiling is so high. He can't rest on his laurels.
A lot of people are expecting me to really get out of the shadows of Danny Granger or Roy Hibbert or whatever. I'm ready for the task.
This quote is what got me excited. It almost seems like he wants to become the best player on the team so to speak. Whether he's able to back it up is the important part. But hey, gotta start somewhere. I like the attitude/confidence.
I thought this was the most interesting part of the article.
Note: The contents of this page have not been reviewed or endorsed by the Indiana Pacers. All opinions expressed by Mark Montieth are solely his own and do not reflect the opinions of the Indiana Pacers, their partners, or sponsors.
I never remember that disclaimer at the end of Brunner's articles
To go along with that article, here is Wells' article in today's paper:
Pacer guard Paul George: 'I feel like there's a lot riding on me'
The message Indiana Pacers associate head coach Brian Shaw delivered to guard Paul George was brief, but to the point.
After George had finished one of his summer workouts at a Southern California gym, Shaw sat the third-year guard down and left him with something profound to ponder.
"I told him that the fact that everybody in the starting lineup is basically already who they are with the exception of him," Shaw recalled saying. "Whatever steps he makes are going to be the same steps the team will take."
Talk about pressure.
George looked like he was ready for that responsibility last season when he played at times like the team's best all-around player. But then there were occasions when he was the fifth best Pacer on the court.
That's in the past, according to George. Shaw's conversation is implanted in George's brain and he said he is ready to carry that load on his shoulders.
"I feel like there's a lot riding on me," George said on the eve of training camp opening today. "I like the pressure. I like to be in the situation I'm in. I worked hard the whole summer to get better at my game. I'm the 'X' factor."
The Pacers hope to see more performances like the one George had against Dallas last season (30 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals) than the timid play they got from him at times during the 2012 playoffs.
"The sky is the limit," Pacers forward Danny Granger said. "He's so gifted. He can go as far as he wants to go. He has the ability to do so many things on the court, especially on the offensive end. What he brings to us is really invaluable."
George sat in his agent's office in California and watched the team's series against Miami, which they lost 4-2, "seven or eight times" breaking down the mistakes he made while defending Heat All-Star guard Dwyane Wade in pick-and-rolls. George also struggled offensively, shooting 37 percent from the field.
George put the tape away and committed himself to the gym.
He hit the weight room so that he could get stronger, which in turn should help his low post offensive game.
He worked on his ball handling, which was atrocious at times last season.
He worked on his inconsistent jump shot.
And he stayed in constant communication with Shaw throughout the off-season, picking the brain of the person who played with and coached Kobe Bryant, one of George's idols growing up.
"He (George) is 22, so you can't rush experience," Shaw said. "There are expectations for him and he wants to live up to those."
George averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds a game last season.
No amount of time doing individual work inside an empty gym could top the knowledge he obtained in early July in Las Vegas and while on a trip to the Far East with some of the world's best players.
George played against players like Bryant, James Harden and Kevin Durant on a daily basis as part of the Team USA select squad that practiced against the Olympic team prior to heading to London.
George watched how the players on the gold-medal winning team worked out every day, what they ate and how they approached the game.
He was also able to talk frequently to LeBron James when they went to China as part of a Nike promotional tour.
"The USA thing helped a lot," George said. "You're playing against some of the best players in our league. They brought it to us every game and every practice was tough."
George carried the confidence he gained during the offseason to the team's workouts leading up to the start of training camp, which opens with two practices today.
He set the tone during their scrimmages by getting after it defensively. He and newcomer Gerald Green went back and forth at each other on a regular basis making the games even more competitive.
"We're very pleased with his development," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Clearly to go from a rookie to what he was able to do last year was a huge step. We think he's ready to take another huge step on both ends of the ball."
I'm excited.
Could the Pacers have three All-Stars this year? Roy is most likely going to be back, many folks last year wanted Granger to be there only his early season slump really kept him out. Charles Barkley specifically said that was his position to lose... Which leads us to Paul George. If he scores anything over 16ppg I expect that to give him an All-Star appearence, because I have no doubt he is going to wreak havoc defensively this season..
I just want Paul George to improve and play consistently. I'd be happy is he only increased his average to 14 points a game as long as he didn't have nights where he just dissapeared offensively and failed to score in double-figures. Of course, I think he's better than that and for the Pacers to have a chance to challange the Heat and stay ahead of the Knicks, Sixers, and Bulls, they'll need him to take the next step.
My guess is he'll average 16 points per game, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals. He'll help the Pacers win a bunch of games but miss the All-Star game.
If Paul George averages those stats on good shooting %'s we are going to be very good.
But does he make love to pressure?Originally Posted by Paul George
Roy being back as an All-Star depends on who the voters consider a center. It is almost impossible for a Pacer to be voted in, so with Howard in the West if Bynum is hyped and voted in then Roy is probably the coaches' choice. If someone else is voted in, then Bynum will be big compatition as the coaches' choice.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
If that happens, Bosh will likely get the fan vote at the 5, which means it could come down to Roy vs. Bynum for the only other C on the roster. BUT I think the last couple of spots on the roster can be wild cards, Iguodala is out west now, and it's not a lock the others from the 2012 roster make it back, either. Of course, new talent could also rise (including Paul George, maybe).
For all this talk on here, people worried that PG is all about "swag" and is "too immature" maybe you should actually listen to him. The kid gets it. And he's gonna be special for us.
I'm also really happy that we have Brian Shaw here. I think he is invaluable to both PG and Lance. Any time in practice he can just bring up the Kobe card. You want to take a break? Do you think Kobe is taking a break right now?
Damn I'm excited for this season!
Are we to assume Roy won't improve at all this year, but Bynum, Noah, Lopez, KG, Chandler, Horford, Nene (lol), Varejao (lol), all will? Probably.
I didn't say that Roy wasn't going to improve, all I'm saying is that him been name to another all star is not as easy as many think here, lets remember that his numbers are not that great to begging with.
Not to agree with vnzla , but in my case I am more concerned about who gets the "never mind how good he is" public vote (forgot about Chandler. I think Noah is off the radar with DRose out, I am not worried about Horford being a fan favorite though Nene might have place going for him) leaving someone actually comparable to Roy in the mix for the coaches' pick.
If it was at all possible for Roy to get to be a fan favorite we'd have a little more fair jockeying for position, but that wouldn't happen even if our national broadcast games came before the first of the year.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Just out of curiosity what makes it impossible for Roy to maybe win the fan vote? He has been in the national news this summer.
