Round Robin
I recently received a wonderful set of books from Pixar artists Jennifer C. Chang, Daniela Stijleva and CinderBiter art director Katy Wu. The collaborative illustration project entitled Round Robin consists of three books, each centered on a series of fifteen illustrations that are connected through an "add-on" word game. Each artist took a turn in providing a word inspired by the one previously supplied, until 15 two-word combinations were completed.
For the next two weeks the artists involved will take turns revealing the process within each illustration. The first post in this ongoing series is now online.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is weighing several costly – and never-before-used – options as it struggles to shore up the dwindling fund that insures bank deposits.
The agency is considering borrowing billions from healthy banks. Alternatively, it may impose a special fee on the banking industry.
Each option carries risk: Drawing money from healthy banks would take dollars out of the private sector, making that money unavailable for investment in the weak economy. But charging the whole industry a fee to replenish the fund could push weaker banks toward failure.
A third option – borrowing from the Treasury – is politically unpalatable, since it would resemble another taxpayer-financed bailout.
A fourth option would be to have banks pay their regular insurance premiums early. But this idea wouldn't solve the fund's long-term cash needs.
"The bottom line is, there's no good solution," said Jaret Seiberg, an analyst with the research firm Concept Capital. "This is a fight over which option is least bad."
The FDIC is expected to propose a solution, possibly combining two or more of the options, at a board meeting next week.
Bank failures since the financial crisis struck have drained the fund to its lowest level since 1992, at the peak of the savings-and-loan crisis. The fund insures deposit bank accounts of up to $250,000.
Officials have approached big, healthy banks about making loans to the agency, said two industry officials familiar with the conversations, who requested anonymity because the plans are still evolving. Doing so would help the agency avoid tapping a $100 billion credit line with the Treasury – something FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair is reluctant to do.
But taking billions from large, healthy banks would remove that money from the private sector and prevent it from being invested. That could slow an economic recovery, analysts said.
Industry and government officials said Tuesday that plan was still on the table. But FDIC spokesman Andrew Gray downplayed its likelihood, saying, "It's an option, but it's not being given serious consideration."
The FDIC also could levy a special emergency fee on the industry. That would allow the healthiest banks to keep more capital for investment. But it could drive shakier banks toward failure – further depleting the fund. Losses on commercial real estate and other loans are causing multiple bank failures each week.
Banks already have paid one extra fee this year. And Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan, who holds one of the FDIC board's five votes, has cautioned against saddling them with another.
Discussing the option last week, Bair acknowledged, "We don't want to stress the industry too much at this time, when they're still in the process of recovery."
Bair also said then that the agency might collect banks' regular insurance premiums early to infuse the fund with cash. An exemption would likely be provided for banks that are too weak to pay in advance.
This plan would solve the fund's immediate cash needs. But Seiberg called it "a one-time gimmick" that would merely delay another special assessment.
Because the FDIC expects bank failures to cost the fund around $70 billion through 2013, a short-term boost may not be the answer, Seiberg said.
The banking industry and lobbyists oppose another fee. They also want Bair to avoid tapping the Treasury credit line, because it would lead to higher insurance premiums for banks as the FDIC repays the money.
In a letter Monday to Bair, American Bankers Association CEO Ed Yingling endorsed borrowing from the banks or collecting regular premiums early as alternatives to charging another fee.
The special fee imposed earlier this year is hurting banks, already stressed from depressed income and increased loan losses, Yingling said. Another one "may do more harm than good," he said.
One advantage of having big banks lend to the insurance fund would be to give healthy banks a safe harbor for their money and limit their risk-taking, said Daniel Alpert, managing director of the investment bank Westwood Capital LLC in New York.
It also would let the industry's strongest players – which still rely on FDIC loan guarantees and other emergency subsidies – help weaker banks avoid paying another fee, he said.
"Lots of banks are going to require more capital, and (Bair is) trying to rob from the rich and give to the poor," said Alpert, who supports the plan as a creative way to avoid another bailout.
Bair's priorities for the industry are different from the Treasury's, analysts said. She is focused on stabilizing the many banks still at risk of failure. Such collapses could further deplete the insurance fund.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has taken a more hands-off approach to the industry. He wants to wind down government assistance quickly.
Bair and Geithner have sparred on key decisions throughout the financial crisis, including whether to bail out Citigroup Inc. with taxpayer dollars last fall.
In an interview with The Associated Press in December, Bair acknowledged that she and Geithner "have different perspectives frequently," but added, "I think that's a healthy thing."
"You don't want to get everybody in the room nodding," she said.
Ninety-four banks have failed so far this year. Hundreds more are expected to fall in coming years largely because of souring loans for commercial real estate.
The FDIC's fund has slipped to 0.22 percent of insured deposits, below a congressionally mandated minimum of 1.15 percent. The $10.4 billion in the fund at the end of June is down from $13 billion at the end of March, and $45.2 billion in the second quarter of 2008.
Congress in May more than tripled the amount the FDIC could borrow from the Treasury if needed to restore the insurance fund, to $100 billion from $30 billion.
The FDIC then adopted a new system of special fees paid by U.S. financial institutions that shifted more of the burden to bigger banks to help replenish the insurance fund.
That move cut by about two-thirds the amount of special fees to be levied on banks and thrifts compared with an earlier plan. The earlier plan had prompted a wave of protests by small and community banks.
Bair had earlier promised a reduction in fees charged to banks if the Treasury credit line could be expanded.

I finished my cashmere socks!
While knitting, I listened to an awful lot of podcasts. One of my favourites is Cast On by Brenda Dayne. She is a Canadian living in Wales and she has a great couple of episodes which cover her visit to the National Wool Museum in Wales. She did them several months ago now, but they are well worth listening to if you are interested at all in how wool is prepared and woven and the woollen industry in Wales.
If you are tempted, they are in Episode 37 and Episode 38.
I found them fun to listen to because one of the things I enjoy doing on holidays is visiting textile museums and I've been round woollen museums in France and read commentaries on them in French so it was nice to hear it in English for a change! Ever since I set up the blog I've been toying with the idea of setting up a clickable map with links to textile museums and I even have a category in my favourites folder where I add them whenever I find them. One day maybe it will come to fruition… I like the idea of being able to go to it whenever I'm going on holiday and just to look at the map and see if there is one nearby. Please, if anyone has seen anything like this on the web, tell me before I do start one and spend hours preparing it!!!

Paul McCartney Tracks Country Artist Down to Shake Hands at The Grammys
I'm a huge Beatles fan, so this story about country artist Hunter Hayes really caught my eye! I'm sure a lot of artists are pretty excited to meet a legend like Paul McCartney, but to have him track you down at the Grammys to shake Hunter's hand? Wow!
At the Grammys Sunday night, Hunter was hanging around Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham's dressing room hoping to meet him when all of a sudden:
"As I'm waiting, Sir Paul McCartney walks by," Hayes says. "We made eye contact, so I gave the respectful smile and nod. He points to me, then he walks over and shakes my hand. He says, 'That was a remarkable performance,' and just starts going on and on. I mean, I couldn't have scripted it better. It was amazing. He bridged the gap between hero and human.
"In that moment, I saw everything I wanted to see about him, and he became everything I wanted him to be, personally."
If you miss Hunter's performance Sunday night, here it is!

Author Kevin Trudeau has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for cheating consumers by making false claims about his book in infomercials to promote his bestselling book The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You to Know About.
The Guardian has the story: "Trudeau's weight-loss book describes a gruelling, 500-calorie-a-day diet, as well as hormone treatments. The deception, Guzman explained, came in Trudeau's infomercials, which misrepresented the contents of the book as laying out 'a simple, no hunger … diet-free method of losing weight' that enticed more people to buy the book."
The Federal Trade Commission brought a civil suit against Trudeau over the book, and he was ordered to pay $37 million.

WWW inventor Sir Tim to speak on its future
World Wide Web (www) inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee (pictured) will speak on future challenges and opportunities in technology in a public talk at Qatar National Convention Centre on Sunday.
Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) is hosting the inventor who will talk about the Web's global impact and emphasise decisions to shape its development are in society's hands.
The lecture 'The World Wide Web and the Next 25 Years' will highlight why principles of integrity, openness, and individuals' freedom to use technology unimpaired should underpin its governance.
QCRI Executive Director Dr Ahmed K Elmagarmid said, "Sir Tim has touched the lives of most people on Earth through his invention. He is qualified to help us see the future of the Web, and how we maximise its benefits for humankind."
"QCRI is proud to work with Sir Tim and the MIT-CSAIL team as part of our joint ongoing research that is delivering benefits for people in Qatar and beyond," he added.
The talk coincides with the annual meeting of QCRI and MIT-CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology) as part of a seven-year research agreement signed in 2012 to collaborate on joint research projects of benefit to Qatar.
Time magazine named Sir Time one of the 100 greatest minds of the 20th century. Queen Elizabeth of Britain knighted him for services to the global development of the Internet in 2004.
The lecture is open to the public and starts at 4.30pm.

It looks like either the HDD or the communication between HDD and MB gets a problem.
I would try reseating HDD SATA cable. If this would not help check HDD brand and model in the system information or on the HDD itself.
Visit HDD vendor web or use Google to find the appropriate HDD test utility. Most ov HDD manufacturers are making it available.
Run the S.M.A.R.T test first and check its results. If there will be no error or warning message run the entire disk surface test. This will assure that potential defective or corrupted sectors will be discovered.
If everything will be OK, I would focus on MB where HDD controller can also be the root-cause..
I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own.

I am making Thanksgiving brunch reservations today for brunch at the grand geneva resort and spa. I just saw it is $42 pp...which is aalmost the same price as brunch at the signature room in Chicago. anyone care to confirm this is worth the price? or is there another nearby place for a wonderful breakfast...$42 for one person is a little high for me. For 2 people is more reasonable. Here is link:
I decided to sleep in on thanksgiving morning for the first time in years and not run a turkey trot when i saw a Groupon for the grand Geneva resort. After reading all the less than stellar reviews, i'm almost regretting my $100 purchase for one night. I'm coming up with my 30 and 37 y.o brothers and we just want to eat good food, relax and chow down on good breakfast and lunch around lake Geneva on thanksgiving morning. Can you folks give me tips to get away if the resort stinks?
Can you swim at the Lake Geneva Beach after labor day? There are no life guards after labor day, does that mean swim at your own risk, or no swimming at all?
My husband and I will be making a trip to the Grand Geneva next weekend and I am thinking about skiing. Neither of us have ever been, would a lesson be necessary?
Also, I have a rather intense fear of heights will the chair lifts be a problem? About how far off of the ground do they go?
How much time should we allow for skiing?
Hi, we want to hike the southern lakeshore trail this Sat.
Does anybody know where the boat stops are so that we can just hike out,
ride the boat back into town?
My husband and I are coming up to Lake Geneva the weekend of November 2. Any interesting things to do during the day on Saturday? I'm hoping the weather will not be too cold.
Hi fellow travelers! Chicago guy here and I am planning on taking my wife for a getaway weekend in late October. I've chosen Lake Geneva. After much research I've decided that I'd like to stay at a hotel close to the action (i.e. the lake, downtown, etc) but also one that still has a bit of charm. I've narrowed it down to 3 and need to get your opinion of which one is the best! Obviously a nice romantic weekend is what I am looking for, but I also want to be able to walk nearby to the fun shops and bars! I also want to do horsebakc riding and maybe some other activities. Currently I am looking at the Bella Vista Suites, The Cove, and the Milcreek Hotel. Anyone have any experience with these places and can help me pick?? I decided to stay away from the further away quieter B&B's (like lazy cloud or french country inn) and also decided to stay away from the Grand Geneva. that has left me with these 3. Let me know if I am missing a good one! thanks!
We're traveling to Fontana next weekend (11th-13th) and would like to know about any activities, fun things to do or cool places to visit. Thanks!

In the shrinking field of editorial cartoonists, women are scarce.
By Katrina Altersitz Altersitz is a former AJR editorial assistant.
Piette isn't that worried about finding a job, but maybe she should be. Consider the case of Pam Winters, a graduate of the University of California, San Diego, who syndicates her cartoons to several papers in California. The 33-year-old is putting her art aside because she's had difficulty earning a living from cartooning. She's spent the last few years applying for--but not getting--editorial cartoonists' jobs at various newspapers. Breaking into that field seems to be even tougher for women than getting a chance to write commentary, the subject of a recent controversy that flared after columnist Susan Estrich took Los Angeles Times Editorial and Opinion Editor Michael Kinsley to task for not publishing enough women writers.
"I've not felt discriminated against as a woman as much as I've felt discriminated against as a cartoonist," Winters says. "They don't respect the position."
According to the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, 25 out of its 357 members are women. When the subject comes up in conversations with cartoonists such as Winters or media veterans such as University of Missouri journalism professor Geneva Overholser, three prominent female editorial cartoonists are mentioned. The first is Signe Wilkinson, the first woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning and the only woman doing that job full time for a large daily (the Philadelphia Daily News). The second is Ann Telnaes, the only other female Pulitzer-winning cartoonist, who recently left Tribune Media Services for Cartoonists & Writers Syndicate. The third is Etta Hulme of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram; she is now semiretired, drawing a few times a week.
Why so few women cartoonists? Some say it's a position that by its nature attracts men. Others cite the lack of opportunities. There isn't an overabundance of cartooning positions, and those who occupy them stay in place for a long time. The market for syndicated work is tight. And some say that men do most of the hiring and tend to be more comfortable with their own gender.
"Women are less likely to stand up and make one strong, assertive statement," Overholser says. "That's a stereotype with some truth to it. As with much else, we need to encourage people early on in high school to think about journalism and cartooning."
AAEC President Matt Davies disagrees. "We're seeing for the first time more than a handful of cartoonists who are women with beautiful portfolios," he says. "It's just with some sadness that I see them coming into a field that I would not say is a growth industry, but probably never was."
To cartoonist Jennifer Camper, the problem begins with the internal power structure. "It's because the people who make the decisions about who gets printed are usually men, and they're looking for cartoons that are about them," she says.
Many cartoonists have instead turned to self-syndication via the Internet. Take Stephanie McMillan, 40. She works at a weekly in southern Florida, but not as a cartoonist, though the paper used to run her work at times. She self-syndicates her cartoons in the hopes of building a career as a full-time cartoonist/artist while she stays at her current job, typing calendar listings.
"Though gender may play some role, all cartoonists are having a hard time due to the tight economy, extreme cost-cutting by publications and competition for very few paid opportunities in the cartooning world," McMillan wrote in an e-mail to AJR. "We're forced to be creative in finding new ways to market our work, and new venues and ways of publishing."
While many newspapers have their own staff cartoonists, others rely on independent cartoonists and those whose work is syndicated by outlets such as Tribune Media Services and Universal Press Syndicate. Wilkinson, who is affiliated with the Washington Post Writers Group, is the only woman whose work is distributed by a major syndicate.
As for staff cartoonists, their tenure tends to be lengthy. And when they retire or die, papers often hold the position open for quite a while. Five years after Jeff MacNelly's death, the Chicago Tribune still has not replaced him.
"I think women are, like a lot of people are, too smart to go into..an imperiled industry," Wilkinson says. But there's more to the story, she adds: Many women "are less comfortable picking fights and using an attack medium to make a point."
The job does indeed require a certain amount of "machismo," says Christine Bertelson, editorial page editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. In an e-mail interview, she said, "Sometimes that manifests itself as 'Show me where you draw the line and I'll cross it.'" The job requires "a strong ego, stubbornness and willingness--even eagerness--to risk getting your behind kicked on a daily basis.... Perhaps," she added, "that combination of things tends to discourage women and attract men." (In April, the Post-Dispatch hired Robert J. Matson to replace editorial cartoonist John Sherffius, who resigned in 2003.)
Still, the drawings of women could be an asset to editorial pages, says Bob Giles, curator of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. "It would seem to me that..having a woman's perspective reflected in an editorial cartoon would be something a newspaper would want."
"It's one thing if I did a cartoon on women's rights," says Baltimore Sun cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher. "But if I see a cartoon by Ann or Signe, it's a little bit different... If you deal with issues really important to you, you're going to do good work."
But Wilkinson wants more than just recognition for her gender.
"There will always be women's issues because we really are different in some fundamental ways," she says. "Therefore, problems that women face will not every time--but from time to time--be different from the problems that men face. As far as that's true, it's good to have women describing what the experience is like." But, she adds, "I don't think women should be defined as only describing that."

With stronger leasing in the final months of the year, total apartment demand in North Texas in 2012 added up to 9,382 units. That's ahead of the 7,460 new apartments which opened their doors in the area last year.
Overall apartment occupancy in the area was just under 94 percent at the end of 2012.
Because of the opening of thousands of new units, the rate of apartment rent increase slowed a bit in 2012.
Average apartment rents in the D-FW area rose by 2.8 percent last year, vs. 4.7 percent in 2011.
"The leasing environment has gotten a bit more competitive in the top tier because new supply is starting to come on stream at more significant levels at the same time loss of renters to purchase, while still low by long-term historical standards, is beginning to increase a little," MPF Research vice president Greg Willett said.

The quick turnaround between matchweeks 12 and 13 had managers deciding whether to sit certain players last weekend who were working their way back from injury, or let them play with the possibility that they wouldn't be fit for their next match on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Complicating matters further, matchweek 14 is coming up this Saturday, just three days after the conclusion of matchweek 13. With that in mind, it's important to recognize which players are close to fitness and could be returning, or aren't quite there but could play on Saturday.
Just business as usual in the Premier League. Here's what we're seeing heading into matchweek 14:
Crystal Palace vs. West Ham
Out: Razvan Rat remains out with a hamstring injury sustained during the last international break. Mladen Petric doesn't have a firm return date from his calf injury. Winston Reid (ankle) likely won't see action until 2014. Ricardo Vaz Te is out after suffering a dislocated shoulder. Andy Carroll (foot) continues to be sidelined, although he's expected to start training shortly. Alou Diarra (knee) could miss the entire season. Adlene Guedioura (lung/rib) could return by the end of December. Glenn Murray (knee) could start training in January.
Not Expected to Play: Jack Hunt (ankle) is likely two weeks out. Patrick McCarthy (groin) could get back by the next gameweek.
Expected to Play: Jerome Thomas (groin) is expected to return after being held out of Saturday's match against Norwich City.
Sunderland vs. Chelsea
Out: Samuel Eto'o remains sidelined for at least another week with a hamstring injury. Marko van Ginkel (knee) is a long-term injury.
Not Expected to Play: Oscar was forced from Sunday's match against Southampton with an ankle injury. David Luiz remains sidelined with a knee injury. Carlos Cuellar is working through a hip injury.
Expected to Play: Keiren Westwood (shoulder) could be fit for a return.
Stoke City vs. Cardiff City
Out: Robert Huth underwent knee surgery and could miss at least six weeks.
Not Expected to Play: Marko Arnautovic (hamstring) is likely two weeks away.
Liverpool vs. Norwich City
Out: Anthony Pilkington (hamstring) is out until January. Robert Snodgrass (knee) will try to return before the end of December. Mark Bunn is supposedly at least five weeks away from returning after undergoing ankle surgery. Alexander Tettey also had ankle surgery but he's likely out until February. Ricky van Wolfswinkel (foot) may be able to return in two weeks. Elliott Bennett (knee) is out for the long-term. Daniel Sturridge will miss six-to-eight weeks with an ankle injury. Jose Enrique (knee) is out until February following surgery. Sebastian Coates (knee) is likely out for the season.
Swansea City vs. Newcastle
Out: Angel Rangel missed last weekend's match with a calf injury and Wilfried Bony missed out with a hamstring injury. Monday update: Bony is expected to miss the next 10 days. Garry Monk is out until the end of December with a knee injury. Ryan Taylor (knee) remains a long-term injury.
Expected to Play: Michu could make a return from his ankle injury.
Arsenal vs. Hull City
Out: Rio Miyaichi continues to miss out with a hamstring injury. Yaya Sanogo could return in January from his back injury. Lukas Podolski (hamstring) could return in about three weeks. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) is slated to get back on the pitch in January. Abou Diaby (knee) could return in March. Paul McShane (hamstring) is weeks away from a return. Stephen Quinn is expected back at the end of December, while Sone Aluko (calf) is targeting the end of January.
Not Expected to Play: Tuesday update: Bacary Sagna is unlikely to play with a slight hamstring injury.
Manchester United vs. Everton
Out: Leighton Baines is out for six weeks with a broken toe. Arouna Kone (knee) and Darron Gibson (knee) could miss the entire season. Michael Carrick is still weeks away from a return from his Achilles injury.
Not Expected to Play: Robin van Persie was unable to play last weekend due to his groin injury. Darren Fletcher continues to work on his match fitness after missing out for a year.
Southampton vs. Aston Villa
Out: Artur Boruc is expected to miss the next six weeks after suffering a broken hand in Sunday's match against Chelsea. Kelvin Davis also remains out. Guly do Prado (knee) is expected to make his way back in January. Jores Okore (knee) is likely out for the season. Charles N'Zogbia (calf) does not have an announced return date.
Not Expected to Play: Morgan Schneiderlin picked up a knock against Chelsea.
Expected to Play: James Bennett (back) could be set to return.
West Bromwich Albion vs. Manchester City
Out: Matija Nastasic (calf) is expected back in three weeks.
Not Expected to Play: David Silva (calf) could return by next weekend, along with Stevan Jovetic (calf). Nicolas Anelka (knock) and Scott Sinclar (hamstring) were already supposed to have returned, so their issues are worse than initially expected. Ben Foster (ankle) could be fit by next weekend. George Thorne (knee) does not have a definitive timetable for return.
Expected to Play: Vincent Kompany (thigh) has been deemed fit and is expected to start.
Fulham vs. Tottenham
Not Expected to Play: Hugo Rodallega (groin) is likely two-to-three weeks away from a return. Matthew Briggs (groin) could return in two weeks. Emmanuel Adebayor could miss out Wednesday but could return by next weekend. Cristian Eriksen (ankle) is targeting a return in three weeks. Danny Rose (ankle) has had his return date repeatedly pushed back but is now expected back in two weeks.
Expected to Play: Dimitar Berbatov missed last weekend's match against West Ham with an illness but should be back to health. Brede Hangeland could make his return from a nerve issue in his leg.

"My concern for the defendant's right to privacy is the basis" for his policy, Storch said. Defendants, especially those in custody, "are in a situation over which they have no control," Storch said. He said he bars cameras if the defense or prosecution objects to them, and no reason has to be given for the objection.
Maintaining the court's dignity is another reason to bar photography, Storch said.
"I think it demeans the atmosphere of the courtroom," he said. "The tendency is to promote a carnival atmosphere. . . . Still cameras and television cameras detract from the seriousness of the proceedings."
Concern about cameras disrupting a court proceeding dates to the 1935 trial of Richard Bruno Hauptmann, who was convicted and executed for the Lindbergh baby kidnaping. Extensive media coverage of the case prompted the American Bar Assn. to adopt a rule recommending that no cameras or broadcasting equipment be allowed in court.
Some jurisdictions, however, ignored the recommendation. Then, in 1965, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Texas fraud conviction of Billie Sol Estes because of television coverage. In a 5-4 vote, the court ruled that television coverage was likely to prejudice jurors and was "inherently lacking in due process."

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- Creighton's Antoine Young did everything he could do to keep the Bluejays hopes alive, making a gutsy, tying 3-pointer with 4.6 seconds on the clock.
Northern Iowa's Anthony James did Young one better, stunning 13th-ranked Creighton with a 3 of his own at the buzzer.
James buried the thrilling game-winner as time expired and Northern Iowa upset the Bluejays 65-62 on Saturday to snap their 11-game winning streak.
James, who missed Tuesday's win over Southern Illinois to rest his aching body, scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half and Seth Tuttle added 13 points for the Panthers (16-9, 6-7 MVC), who handed visiting Creighton (21-3, 11-2) its first loss since late December.
"He makes them from a lot of places," Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson said about James. "He got himself to a spot where he was closer to the basket and just felt more comfortable. That was a big play."

The first big play of an unforgettable finale came from Young, who saw his teammates heavily guarded and pulled up from the top of the key to tie it at 62-all.
James dribbled the length of the court, stepped back from the wing and kept his shooting hand in the air after the winner, which sent Panthers fans streaming onto their court.
"Young made a great shot to tie the ball game up, and I just took a quick glance at the clock and seen that we had time to dribble the ball up the court and get a decent shot," James said. "The shot went down."
Young scored 23 points and Doug McDermott, who originally committed to Northern Iowa, had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Creighton.
"We hit a big shot to give ourselves a chance. They hit a big shot to win the game," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said.
The end was a fitting caper to this back-and-forth contest between these heated Valley rivals.
Northern Iowa opened up a 51-45 lead with 5:21 left. The Panthers reeled off an 11-2 run capped by a Deon Mitchell layup and a 3 from Chip Rank, and McDermott picked up his fourth foul on a charge near the basket.
Young stopped the UNI surge with a three-point play, pulling the Bluejays within a possession with 3:55 left, but Jake Koch's 3 with 1:11 left gave the Panthers a 58-54 lead.
James buried a huge 3 from the corner with 23 seconds left to put Northern Iowa ahead 61-56. Creighton's Jahenns Manigat made it 61-59 on a 3 with 15 seconds left.
James missed a free throw that allowed Young's 3 to tie it and shot just 6 of 14 from the floor. But he hit the one that mattered at the end.
"I'm still in awe of that game. It was so much fun to play," Koch said.
Northern Iowa's Johnny Moran buried a 3 and Rank scooped through heavy traffic, putting the Panthers ahead 39-34 with 14:40 left. They could've gone ahead by seven, which would have been the biggest lead yet for either team, but Young smartly stripped Matt Morrison at the rim.
Ethan Wragge's rushed 3 and bank shot at the end of two sloppy possessions brought Creighton back even at 40-all. McDermott then tipped a loose ball to himself over four Panthers in the paint, converting a three-point play to give the Bluejays a 43-40 lead with 11:02 left.
Creighton finished just 5 of 16 from 3-point range, and nobody but Young and McDermott scored more than eight points.
"We just needed some offense from somewhere else. Antoine and Doug were good," Greg McDermott said. "It was just one of those nights. You play [24] games and they're not all going to be perfect."
Northern Iowa rolled into Valley play with a realistic shot at yet another NCAA tournament berth after wins over Old Dominion, Providence, Iowa and Iowa State in nonconference play. But the Panthers have struggled in Valley play, uncharacteristically struggling to knock down shots.
That probably wouldn't have been an issue if McDermott had stuck around.
Jacobson graciously let McDermott leave when his father Greg left Iowa State for Creighton before Greg's freshman year.
No one could have imagined he would blossom into one of the nation's best players -- and Northern Iowa's student section showed their bitterness by booing McDermott when he touched the ball.
McDermott was as good as ever, shooting 7 of 11 from the floor, but the Panthers hit 11 of their 21 tries from 3 -- including James's dramatic finale.
"It felt good as soon as I let it go," James said. "I used my legs like coach [Jacobson] told me too."

We have the Exilim Doraemon version last year, now it seems Hello Kitty also on a good demand so Casio Exilim launched their Exilim z85 Digital Camera with Hello Kitty theme and some extra bling-bling added.
It's really absolutely girly taste. Perhaps it's all because of the pink color and the added Swarovski Bling-bling jewels. The Casio Exilim z85 Camera itself has a 9.1MP CCD Sensor to snaps a good detail photo and a 2.6-inch TFT display at the rear side that supports up to 479 x 240px resolution.
Pretty good, especially for teen styling. If you want some, you can go to Japan and get it for ¥56,700 (about $575) or go to geekstuff4u to try your luck.

Gooseberry Jam
In order to the Gratify the Nature I believe each one of us should take a moment in viewing this spectacular phenomenon which is just a glance away..
But lately we are kind of taking a Detour from the nature and its products.The aftermath of this is showing its ill-effects on our health...
It is interesting to know that Nature provides us with all the necessary requirements to keep our body fit and healthy in the form of 'Fruits and Vegetables',which are power packed with all the essential nutrients...
Amla Jam(Nellikayi Jam)
My today's post is dedicated to my Father-in-law..Both my In-laws are Great Cooks. My father-in-law holds the Honor of being the 'Master Chef'.... Reason being Simple and Straight,he has an Ability to 'visualize' the flavor combinations and can also Anticipate the Outcome of the dish..If I let my father-in-law in the kitchen then I am sure he will come out with a New Recipe with the Flavors Perfectly Infused...Amla Jam is one of his Best Recipes.... Thanks Mava for the Wonderful Recipe.....
Before posting this recipe I did a lot research on the Health benefits of Amla...One very Important and Interesting thing I found was that the Vitamin 'C ' present in the amla is of Heat Stable Form hence it doesn't get lost during the processing....This is one of the main reasons it is an essential ingredient in the preparation of the very popular Ayurvedic Medicine Chyavanaprasha......
1)1 cup freshly grated Amla along with the skin (Indian Gooseberry)
2)3/4th cup sugar(Jaggery)
3)Pinch of cardamom and salt
1)Pressure cook the grated Amla using little water(for about 2 whistles)
2)Make a Sugar Syrup,the consistency of the syrup should be of one thread.
3)Saute the cooked Amla for about a minute or two(to remove the water content)
4)Add the sauteed Amla(already grated and cooked) to the sugar syrup and mix continuously until you get a Jam like Consistency.
5)Add freshly powdered cardamom and a pinch of salt(salt helps in balancing the flavors and also as a preservative)
6)Cut the flame to off,store it in an air tight container(Preferably refrigerate for the longevity)
Amla Jam is ready,enjoy with the varieties of foods like Dosa,Roti,Rotti,Chapathi or Phulka....
Health Benifits of Amla or Indian GooseBerry:
Amla or Nellikayi is a potent gift of Mother Nature to a Mankind.Enough has been said and written about it..The benefits are so much that it is advisable to include this small wonder in the daily diet.
1)High in vitamin C,helpful in many skin diseases,it promotes glow on skin and also delays wrinkles and loosining of skin.
2)Good food absorption,helps in getting a better eye sight,regulates blood sugar,increases hemoglobin and so on.......

It was close, but as we predicted, the combination of Jet Li and Jackie Chan's first-ever onscreen collaboration in "The Forbidden Kingdom" was just strong enough to survive a furious challenge from the Judd Apatow-produced comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" to take #1 at the box office over the weekend. The Disney martial arts movie took in $20 million in its opening weekend, besting "Marshall" by $ 3 million. The week's only other challenger, the Al Pacino thriller "88 Minutes" landed at #4 with $6.8 million.
Probably most surprising is that the teen slasher flick "Prom Night" still made another $9 million despite falling to the #3 slot after its surprise #1 finish last week. So far, the poorly reviewed horror remake has grossed a surprising $32 million at the box office, all but guaranteeing a sequel, as teen horror movies are wont to do.
Not doing quite as well is Keanu Reeves' "Street Kings", which plummeted to #7 with $4 million, putting its 2-week total at just under $20 million. Not exactly great numbers for a major Hollywood movie with a major movie star, and an all-star cast to back him up. Ouch.
Way out on the fringe, the Ben Stein documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" did surprisingly well, making $3 million in its debut, good enough for ninth place. The film opened in 1052 theaters compared to "Street Kings'" 2469. And since you probably didn't even know the movie existed, or saw ads for it on TV, $3 million is a pretty good take for a documentary made by someone not named Michael Moore.
Here's how the Top 10 at the box office broke down over the weekend (via):
1 —–The Forbidden Kingdom —–$20,870,000 —–$20,870,000
2 —–Forgetting Sarah Marshall —–$17,348,000 —–$17,348,000
3 —–Prom Night —–$9,100,000 —–$32,564,000
4 —–88 Minutes —–$6,800,000 —–$6,800,000
5 —–Nim's Island —– $5,650,000 —–$32,857,000
6 —–21 —–$5,500,000 —–$69,984,000
7 —–Street Kings —–$4,000,000 —–$19,879,000
8 —–Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who —–$3,500,000 —–$144,407,000

Pretty amped about making character and pet page progress! I thought I'd bump this back up for ease of access (and longevity?), and organize a bit in the process by dumping my random character notes in a separate post.
text is tiny to deter people from reading it because it is so terrible :C Need to redo these BADLY
"How did I get here?"
explanation of everything that affected that character and brought them to that point in their life. "A lot of people go through Small Town. Vacationers, con artists, the rich and the famous, the poor and the notorious... they arrive for a reason, even if that reason is wanderlust."
Moral alignment: lawful good, etc.
family (parents, siblings, spouses, close friends), friends, occupation, social status, financial background, pet peeves, date/place of birth, appearance, greatest achievement/failure, hopes, fears, hobbies, traits.
Working on the descriptions below! Making constant little changes when I can >:C
(mid-20s?) (purdy tall. ~6ft)
Mags. A young man, per-maybe-haps, white or possibly medium skintone with light, maybe white hair? Not too sure about his details at the moment - either a resident of my alternate world or normal Earth human smitten by Madison but unable to ultimately win her heart. I... need to give him more than this 'cause he needs to be his own person augh
Was considering, fleetingly -- parkour?
(19? early 20s?) (tall - 6'4" or taller)
Madison. Chinese descent. Half-Chinese? Tall, thin, lanky. Usually wears very plain clothing (until my little fashionista arrives, anyway). Often wears a pocket watch around her neck, a gift from Charlie. Probably into photography; enjoys scavenging the bones of dead animals (usually roadkill?), cleaning them, and piecing them together, turning her apartment into a spooky museum.
Going back to the "little girl possessed by a jerk spirit" idea I had. Madison is a shy, cute little bookworm until Croes shows up and hops inside her head (still need to work the details on that), giving her the third eye on her forehead that she covers with her bangs. He is a manipulative jerk and turns her into a completely different person -- outspoken, proactive, and a bit of a jerk herself (though she often knows better). She emancipates herself at 16 and never makes any friends until she meets Charlotte - Charlie -- at 19. Before possessed, Madison had brown eyes and straight black hair. Croes's presence gave a purple tint to her hair, making it the dark purple it is now.
Croes (pronounced "crows," or maybe rhyming with "gross"), or Cro - Has complete control over every hair on Madison's body, though he usually sticks with what's on her head for most things. He can make it all fall out and grow back again in an instant, can twirl it together to create makeshift hands or tentacles to pick up things, etc. Madison's horn hairstyle is his choice, and is possible because of him.
He shows up only as a third eye on her forehead, yellow with a red iris (probably). He can speak, but only in Madison's head; only she can hear him. He cannot read her thoughts (probably) so she has to talk out loud to reply to him. She's used to how awkward this is.
Research: Hair's makeup. Are nails really similar? If so, Cro might be able to control those too. Other such little details. ALSO, third eyes. Could explain why he shows up as a third eye, because of his form or because of her? Among a billion other things.
"Croess" is a name coined by Cookie, who is another creature of Croes's world. She made the pun because Croes, male, is stuck inside Madison, female -- it was natural for some smarty-pants to make it. While Croes is pronounced "crows" (or maybe rhymes with gross?), Croess is pronounced "crow-ess."
(14) (short - ~5'1", maybe, or around 4'9")
Based off an old character, Coffee/Aria. Totally revamped. Charlotte, who goes by Charlie. No current Neopet incarnation. Mostly, if not completely, of black descent. Very short and chunky, with large hips and chest. Puts a lot of effort into styling her hair.
Again, a shy, smart girl. Madison would actively seek out knowledge; Charlie was forced to acquire it. As soon as she was old enough, Charlie's super-wealthy parents began paying for all the best musical lessons. She has only ever been home-schooled by the top-ranked smartiest of smarty-pantses, and very rarely gets to interact with other children.
She can sing, and plays piano, violin, cello, harp, flute... You name it, it's used for classical music, she can probably play it. The only things she enjoys leisurely are piano, cello, and singing. If she comes across an instrument, particularly one she's never played, she will tinker with it for hours. Don't ever take her to a music store. Seriously. You will not leave.
Charlie felt used and unloved by her parents, and ran away from home at fourteen. She had a few mishaps but soon met Madison, who took her for some coffee. Charlie explained she was a runaway. Madison replied, "You're doing it wrong, kid." She moved in with Madison in her tiny apartment and they've been inseparable ever since. What started as a friendship, a sisterhood, soon evolved into so much more...
Human form undecided, perhaps none for once?
Small, six-legged cat-like animal. Shapeshifter, similar or same species as the faerie wocky I'll never have. ;D
Very very playful; need to find notes in sketchbook! Likes to show off her "tricks" (shapeshifting) by growing eyes all over her face and growing extra legs and stuff.
Background is a little uncertain; She's from the same world as Croes, but ended up on Earth. Probably had her memory erased by a diety(?), or simply chooses to play ignorant so she can live such a care-free life.
Needs name, neopet. Just brewing.
Fashionista! Petpage is a daily fashion blog, with less dailiness to it because I'm not that awesome
Needs work work work, but Mags first puh-leez
(??) (fairly tall - 5'10"?)
Izzy is an earth spirit, or something kinda like that. Representative of life, fertility, womanhood, earth, growth, all that babymakin' kinda stuff -- though she has little to no powers, or at least, nothing compared to a god. She's seen outside a small village one day and mistaken for an actual goddess. The townspeople sweep her in and get their worship on, and at first she's like "hey uh um -- 'scuse me -- I'm not really --" but then they start giving her gifts of jewelry and stuff that she can string in her hair and all that, stuff she really likes, in exchange for her blessings on their unborn children and crops and stuff. If she even has the ability to effect growth, she'd have blessed them anyway, but since they brought gifts into the picture, she's gotten a little power-hungry. Got any emeralds? I like emeralds!
Dark-skinned, long dark green (blue tint, slightly teal) hair, light limey green eyes? Biiiig hips, meat on her bones. Wears little to nothing, aside from all the jewelry she gets from the villagers. She looooves stringing that stuff through her hair. I guess she wears robes or whatever for the sake of Neo.
(18-24?) 5'8" or maybe less
Ofelia, or Ophelia. I don't have a clue about this one, I just have a design in mind -- fair-skinned, fit build, bright aquamarine hair pulled into a big thick ponytail, bright bright red eyes. Freckles, probably.
Female Robot Hissi
Some kind of awesome, abandoned steampunk android lady? Ughgh a steampunk robot is undeniably hard for me to design. Maybe one of several prototypes thrown out by some dude. Her parts are outdated, so he doesn't bother removing them -- just disables her and throws her in the dumpster out back full of other sexy lady robots. and when he does she bumps her on/off switch thing and is like "wat" and gets up and leaves
YES THAT'S IT >:V She gets up and sees all the other dumped robots, and her mind is totally blown because that dude was so sweet and kind to her and she peeks into his lab and sees him working on a newer, sexier lady and she's like "wttfff dude" 'cause she thought she was the only one and he totally loooooved her and he did but then she got old. :U
Paint Jobs: Robot (MAIN), halloween, desert, island!!1, probably-not-pirate.
Female UC Darigan Bruce
Came from a barbaric tribe/village. Left or was exiled? Idk. The women of her species/society/whatevs are muscular and all that good stuff but still take the generic female role (motherly, care for the family, ALL have at least basic cooking/sewing/whatever skills). The women are generally strong-willed but still heavily mistreated by our standards.
Fascinated by the modern world. Clothing designer? Model? Something like that.
Male UC Baby Kougra
Okay, this guy is just an excuse to have a cute little boy character with a mohawk. DON'T JUDGE ME
Dari bruce's son.
That's more than enough characters for now. We'll cross these other bridges later.
- hell's bells
- sky pirate
- uh ein yes hello (uc fae wocky)
- flightless dragon pilot (uc dari draik?) OH HRMM SKY PIRATE? JUST CONNECTING SOME DOTS HERE derp derp
Oh man Pidgey, don't do that whole "I was the only one who couldn't fly so I built an airplane because I'm such a bad-bum" thing, that's so clicheeee
process on character/page thingies coming soon. Or later. :V

The bodies of the two boys who went missing during a rafting trip Saturday, have been found.
Authorities identified them as Matthew Miller, 16, and Gavin Powell, 17, both of Walnut Creek, according to the Chronicle.
The two had gone rafting in a two-person inflatable raft, at about 2 p.m. Saturday, in the Walnut Creek.
The creek's water level is known to vary from two feet to 15 during storms.
Police found the deflated raft this morning in the creek near Bancroft and Bentley streets in Concord.
Miller's body was found at about 11:30 a.m. between Imhoff Drive and Highway 4, while Powell's body was found two hours later near Stanwell Drive, also in Concord.
The boys were juniors at Las Lomas High School and were found with helmets, but no life vests.

Old makes way for young Lyons
By Scrum's Keiran Roberts
April 6, 2000
Stu Pinkerton, a New South Wales stalwart, has been supplanted by youth with emerging flanker David Lyons ousting him from the Waratahs' make-or-break game with the Waikato Chiefs on Sunday.
The 27-year-old Pinkerton paid the price on Thursday along with erratic flyhalf Manuel Edmonds for last weekend's insipid 31-16 loss to Queensland plunging the lacklustre Waratahs into seventh place.
Pinkerton held the distinction of missing just one match in almost three and a half seasons of Super 12 and was captain for three games last year, but Lyons' form has proved irresistible in what has been a dismal season for the Waratahs. Lyons has shot into reckoning off the reserves bench in six games so far this campaign and coach Ian Kennedy is fast running out of time to revive NSW's receding chances of making next month's finals after dropping the last three games.
There hasn't been much to laud about this season in NSW rugby, but the positive signs have been the emergence of young flankers, Phil Waugh and Lyons, as the Waratahs continue to be hounded by the derisive tag of perennial underachievers. Kennedy has avoided using the dreaded 'D' word for Pinkerton's demise, rather explaining that the back row will play on a rotational basis for the rest of the season as combinations are changed weekly.
"That doesn't necessarily mean Stuey has been dropped," Kennedy said. "Now that David Lyons has emerged we have four players that are playing quite well. Straussy came off the bench last week. This week it's Pinko. We're just having a look at a few different combinations."
No where is the musical chairs more obvious than at the contentious flyhalf position where Christian Warner and Edmonds have alternated each match - this week it's Warner's turn to play at No.10. Warner has started in two Super 12 games this season, but is yet to be paired with scrumhalf Chris Whitaker. They will call the shots against the similarly disappointing Chiefs in Hamilton on Sunday.
Warner says NSW are conscious another loss will lay them open to more underachieving jibes, which have been borne out of the Waratahs' first seven unproductive years in the southern hemisphere tournament.
"We know the importance of this game," Warner said. "It's going to be hard ... no matter what. If we do have a loss we have to rely on other teams."
Warner said both he and Pinkerton had been victims of Kennedy's rotational selection policy.
"I think last time I played I didn't get too many options," he said. "I wasn't happy with my game either. Just coming on last week and doing a few things ... the confidence is there. With Stuey, for us he's played virtually every game for the last three years."
Kennedy is unconcerned by the changes to his halves combination as he looks to spark his side for the Super 12 run home.
"It might be five or six games (in) but we're not playing well," he said. "Manny Edmonds has been given some opportunities and hasn't thrown his hand up and said 'it's mine'.
In the third team change announced Thursday, but this time injury-induced, prop Rod Moore replaced Cameron Blades, who was ruled out with an ankle injury. Blades joined fellow prop Richard Harry (strained calf muscle) and utility forward Daniel Manu (strained Achilles tendon) on the sidelines.
The NSW team is: Matthew Burke, Scott Staniforth, Jason Little (captain), Nathan Grey, Marc Scherbina, Christian Warner, Chris Whitaker, Tiaan Strauss, Phil Waugh, David Lyons, John Welborn, Tom Bowman, Jason Reilly, Brendan Cannon, Rod Moore. Reserves: Matt Dowling, Manuel Edmonds, Sam Payne, Stu Pinkerton, Michael Brial, Al Baxter, Mark Crick.

Weiner vows to stay in N.Y. mayor's race
Published 8:45 pm, Sunday, July 28, 2013
New York --
Anthony Weiner vowed to stay in the race for New York City mayor Sunday despite the loss of his campaign manager and the drumbeat of critics questioning his fitness for public office.
"We have an amazing staff, but this isn't about the people working on the campaign. It's about the people we're campaigning for," Weiner said after speaking at a Brooklyn church.
Weiner confirmed that campaign manager Danny Kedem resigned Saturday after reports surfaced that Weiner continued to exchange lewd photos and messages with women despite resigning from Congress in 2011 over the same behavior.

Weiner said he would keep talking about "ideas for the middle class and people struggling to make it every single day" and added, "We knew this was going to be a tough campaign."
Kedem had managed the re-election of John DeStefano Jr. to a 10th term as mayor of New Haven, Conn., in 2011 and worked on Hillary Rodham Clinton's failed 2008 presidential campaign.
Kedem was credited with helping Weiner pull into the lead among the crowded field of Democratic primary candidates before the latest revelations about his raunchy online exchanges with women.
Rival mayoral candidate Christine Quinn, speaker of the New York City Council, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Weiner has shown "a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity and responsibility."
Later on the NBC program, David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Obama, accused Weiner of "wasting time and space." Axelrod said Americans "believe in second chances, but not third chances."
Weiner was forced to discuss his online behavior last week after a gossip website printed excerpts of conversations he had with Indiana college student Sydney Leathers last summer.
With his wife, Huma Abedin, alongside, Weiner apologized and promised that the "behavior is behind me." He later admitted that he traded racy messages with at least three women since leaving office.
He vowed to stay in the race, saying he believed "people care more about their futures than my past with my wife and my embarrassing things."
Quinn led the race before Weiner jumped in but slipped behind him in most recent polls. But a one-day poll conducted after Weiner's latest revelations has Quinn leading Weiner in the race for the Democratic nomination. The mayoral primary is Sept. 10, and the general election is Nov. 5.

IN September 1862, a young Glasgow woman stood trial for a horrific murder.
It was a sensational case which divided Scotland and sent newspaper sales soaring.
The gruesome story fascinated Alan Veale for decades but it was when he retired that the crime changed his life.
Mr Veale has written a psychological thriller called the Murder Tree, which is based in Glasgow.
It links characters from 2010 with the 19th century murder of Jess MacPherson.
On Monday June 16, the Manchester-born former civil servant will be appearing at the Mitchell Library to discuss his debut novel.
And he plans to invite the audience on a murder trail round the city, which features some of the places mentioned in his book.
They include the People's Palace, the High Court, the Broomielaw, the Willow Tea Rooms and 17 Sandyford Place, where Jess MacPherson was brutally murdered.
Her employer James Fleming was at first under suspicion of the crime, but former servant Jessie McLachlan was eventually charged and went to trial.
The case inflamed class prejudices and sales of newspapers which covered the court case increased by a staggering 500%.
Jessie was found guilty but insisted Mr Fleming was the killer.
She was jailed, evenually gaining her freedom in 1877.
Mr Veale was given a book based on the killing by an elderly aunt and admitted he was instantly hooked.
He said: "It got inside my skull and I visited Glasgow to see for myself where it happened.
"It ate away at me for the next 20 years so when I took early retiral, I decided to try writing a novel based on the case and for the next two years that is what I did.
"Because it was a true story, it struck me there would undoubtedly be descendants alive today who may even be ignorant of the involvement of their infamous ancestors.
"That prompted the creative instinct within me to look at the potential to write another version of the story, but from a modern day viewpoint."
Mr Veale came to Glasgow three times to carry out research for his book and quickly fell in love with the city.
He said: "I set a lot of the story around the Mitchell Library, because one of the characters works there and it is where my main character goes to get information.
"At the start I didn't know Glasgow at all and had only been through it on a couple of occasions.
"It was the book which made me think I would like to visit Glasgow to see it for myself.
"I have now visited three or four times and have fallen in love with the city and the people.
"I found everyone we spoke to was so warm and friendly and welcoming.
"Glasgow today is wonderful and every time I do talks in England about my book, The Murder Tree, I end up speaking about Glasgow and telling people they must go there themselves."
Mr Veale said he spoke to Glasgow City Marketing Bureau about the possibility of promoting his novel and took up a suggestion that he create a murder trail to the city locations featured in the book.
He said: "I am going to ask the people who come along to the Mitchell to hear me talk, if they want to walk the trail with me."
The author, who in the past has written only for the stage, says he has had a positive response to his debut novel.
He is already working on a second, which is also based in the city, and involves one of the characters from his first work.

This electric 12 string guitar is based upon our popular Viking DLX, possessing a Ply Maple body and top to tonally emphasize each of the octave strings, all fit together with a set maple neck for added brilliance on this 12 stringed chorale piece. Naturally, as found on each and every Hagstrom guitar is our famed H-Expander truss rod accompanied by the Resinator Fret board. As a 12 string guitar normally has a tension of over 200 lbs of pressure on the neck, the H-Expander truss rod will keep the 12-string neck straight for years to come. Due to the further unique frequencies created with the help of the Resinator fret board, the volume and tone of the octave strings are further enhanced to keep up with the naturally fuller volume of the standard strings, to allow for a lavishing and balanced 12 string sound.
To match the Viking DLX 12's fuller acoustic sound, a set of our Hagstrom H-50 humbucking pickups are adopted to provide a natural and clean calibrated electric tone, delivering cleaner vintage tones familiar from yesteryear, as well as the ability to deliver nastier tones, to open up a whole new expressive world where 12 string guitars have never ventured before.

If you were not at the US Airways Center last night for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the legendary group, Fleetwood Mac, perform together again… you missed out!
A fun mix of Fleetwood fans were excited to get to the arena and partake in the pre-concert festivities, which included KOOL FM's Maria Knight and Charlie Huero on-site welcoming fans and Lysa D. mixing KOOL tunes on the turntables. KOOL listeners waited in line for photo ops and a chance to win a pair of tickets to the show.
As for the "Mac," the performance was certainly a memorable one! Everyone sang along to their favorites, including Dreams, Sara, Never Going Back and Go Your Own Way. Although Christine McVie was absent from the band's reunion, Fleetwood Mac proved they can still rock the stage and bring back those memories that come with their award-winning music. The group continues westward to California with their next stop at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Check out the photos and set list of performance.
