Grizzly Bear
Grizzly BearGrizzly Bear is the indie rock group out of Broklyn with Daniel Rossen playing guitar and writing the songs, Ed Doste playing the guitar and writing songs as well, Chris Taylor on bass and singing the lead, and Chistopher Bear on drums and singing as well. The group really focuses on acoustic guitar and harmonizing with the Taylor and Bear. Grizzly Bear tickets promise a show free of electric guitars and full of folk lyrics with a haunting collaboration of voices.
The band has been called many things- experimental rock, folk rock, and indie rock- and they continue to work without pledging allegiance to a single genre. Grizzly Bears debuted in 2004 with the record Horn of Plenty under Kanine Records. The album featured songs a plethora of sounds and voices layering a sophisticated album that was called anti-folk, lo-fi, and freak folk. The atmospheric sound found a home and the group sold concert tickets as key members of the music media began to spread the word about the band.
Sorry, no upcoming events found at this time.
Artist Biography - Grizzly BearThe second full-length album came two years later on September 5, 2006. Yellow House was lauded as one the top albums that year by Pitchfork and the New York Times. Grizzly Bear continued playing concerts, touring to sell tickets and promote their sound. The latest album, Veckatimest will be released on May 26, 2009 and will be accompanied by a visit to the SXSW festival and a 20-show tour schedule that will take them through the U.S. and Canada.

His skill has made him a hot commodity in the world of corporate espionage but has also cost him everything he loves. Cobb gets a chance at redemption when he is offered a seemingly impossible task: Plant an idea in someone's mind. If he succeeds, it will be the perfect crime, but a dangerous enemy anticipates Cobb's every move.

One of my very favorite films. This film will leave you thinking about it for weeks after you see it. The acting is great and so is the actions and the score. The thing I love most about this film is its originality. The story was so fresh and new and like nothing I have seen. Christopher Nolan has been rumored to have been working on the script for this movie for almost 100 years and I can see why. When you watch it make sure you have no distractions and you pay attention extremely close. I loved all aspects of this film.
There is some violence and a little bit of language in this film that make it worth its PG-13 rating. After you watch it once you will want to watch it again right away to catch more things you missed and that the beauty of this film.December 11th, 2013 · Details1 Thank ·
This was imaginative and exciting. I saw it too long ago to give it an age rating, but I do remember that there is nothing in this movie that would make an adult feel uncomfortable watching.March 15th, 2013 · Details1 Thank ·
It makes you think. It makes you wonder. It's a wild ride visually and mentally stimulating. One of my personal favorites from Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Note: This one isn't shy on the violence but luckily sexual content is held to a minimum.December 16th, 2013 · Details
This is one of my favorite movies. Ever! Great plot, superb visuals. What I really like about this movie is that it leaves the conclusion up in the air. Did Cobb do it? Did he fail? I guess you'll need to watch this one again in order to make up your mind.August 28th, 2013 · Details
It's an interesting concept portrayed in this film, to be sure. It's a great story, though it just seems like an excuse for nonstop violence (they call it "action"), By the time it ended, I was gasping for air.August 9th, 2013 · Details
I really liked the creativity and innovation of this film. It's a mind-bender. Who ever thought about a movie that takes you into a dream within a dream within a dream? Deep stuff, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is violence and profanity, but if you can tolerate it, hold on for the ride.April 9th, 2013 · Details
In high school I was able to come out of a dream enough to know I was dreaming but stay asleep and control the dream, Inception reminded me a lot of this! It had a good plot and good acting (usually not something I say for Leonardo DiCaprio.) I really felt what he was feeling in the last scene, and I really LOVED the way the movie ends! Most of these endings I dismiss as "French" and don't like them, but this one I felt was the proper way to end this movie!April 6th, 2013 · Details

Select Size
Email this page to a friend
Most bergamot oil on the market is adulterated with synthetics. Amrita is able to guarantee you a 100% pure natural oil thanks to the chiral column analytical technology.
Therapeutic Benefits
Bergamot is a unique, rare fruit with a treasure trove of positive qualities. Perhaps even above any of its therapeutic benefits, Bergamot is loved the most for its euphoric scent, which is the fragrant ingredient responsible for the unmistakable aroma of Earl Grey tea, and also the refreshing top note in the original Eau de Cologne.
Bergamot Essential Oil is equally treasured for its mental benefits as well as its physical benefits.
Nervous system: Reduces anxiety and depression, calming the mind and reducing worries.
Digestive System: Stimulates digestion, energizing the liver, stomach and spleen.
Skin care: Relieves skin conditions such as herpes, shingles, dermatitis, eczema and boils.
Genito-urinary system: Useful with infections of the urinary tract and bladder.
Respiratory system: Useful for tonsillitis, mouth infections, sore throat and halitosis.
How to Use
For Topical Application, the recommended ratio of dilution is no more than 20 drops per 4 oz. of carrier oil. Bergamot makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, so remember to avoid direct sunlight for three hours after Topical Application.
Urinary and vaginal infections: Hip Bath
Respiratory infections such as tonsillitis: Direct Inhalation from a diffuser.
To create a cheerful atmosphere: Diffusion
For anxiety, depression, fear or sadness: Diffusion, Topical Application on heart and chest area or Aromatic Bath.
Safety Precautions
Like some other citrus fruits, Bergamot contains a chemical compound called furo-coumarin, which makes one's skin extremely sensitive to the sun, even when Bergamot is diluted. To protect your skin from burning or discoloration, it is important to not use Bergamot Essential Oil on the skin right before sunbathing. Do not expose the skin to sunlight for three hours after application. This also applies to UV and infra-red treatment.
Use essential oils only in diluted form on the skin and never internally. Always be careful when using essential oils with children. Give them only low doses, or better, consult a qualified aromatherapy expert before using. Also use essential oils with care and only under the proper guidance of an expert while pregnant or if you have liver damage, epilepsy, cancer or other serious health problems.
Bergamot is cold-pressed from the bumpy, aromatic peel of a rare citrus fruit that at some point emerged as a hybrid of bitter orange and lemon. If you have ever tasted Earl Grey tea, then you know what Bergamot smells like—it is in fact the fragrant ingredient that when added to black tea transforms it into Earl Grey tea.
In the 15th century, Columbus was so tempted by the exotic allure of Bergamot that although the fruit was too sour to eat, he couldn't resist taking a few bergamot trees back to Italy during one of his voyages to the Canary Islands. Since that time, the treasured fruit has been thriving in Italy, cultivated solely for the unique fragrance and properties of its essential oil.
Although attempts have been made to cultivate bergamot in the south of France and Ivory Coast, the only place in the world where the delicate tree abundantly thrives is Calabria, a region in southern Italy with very specific soil that makes the bergamot fruit particularly exquisite.
Since the 1500s, Bergamot Essential Oil has been a staple of traditional medicine in Italy, renowned for its antiseptic and fever-reducing effects. More recently, aromatherapists have successfully applied the antiseptic properties of Bergamot Essential Oil to the reproductive area and respiratory system.
Bergamot Essential Oil has been found to be effective in addressing infections of the vagina and urinary tract through douches and hip baths, and it is inhaled for respiratory infections such as tonsillitis, bronchitis and tuberculosis.
Bergamot continues to be one of the most popular ingredients in perfumes and cosmetics. Due to its universally appealing scent, it is often used alone to bring fragrance to a room. Bergamot Essential Oil is what gives Earl Grey tea its euphoric flavor and aroma.

Artem Chigvintsev (Russian: Артём Чигвинцев; born 12 June 1982)[citation needed] is a Russian professional dancer, specialising in Latin dancing.[1]
Chigvintsev was born at Izhevsk, Udmurt Republic, RSFSR, Soviet Union. He moved to the United States in 2003, and began dancing with champion ballroom dancer Giselle Peacock, who became his wife. Chigvintsev auditioned to appear as a contestant on the first series of So You Think You Can Dance.[2] Chigvintsev was eliminated alongside his fellow contestant Melissa Vella,[3] and returned as a guest choreographer for season two.[2]
He also appeared on Dancing with the Stars and toured with the Dancing with the Stars live show though he is probably best known for competing on Strictly Come Dancing.
Chigvintsev joined the cast of Burn The Floor. He performed both on Broadway and more recently in the West End.
In September 2010, Chigvintsev joined Strictly Come Dancing series 8 as a professional dancer, where he was partnered with actress Kara Tointon.[4] The pair achieved good scores in the first five weeks of 30, 32, 31, 32, and 37. In week 5, they were awarded the first 10 of the series by Alesha Dixon for their paso doble. In week 6 they were top of the leaderboard with their salsa. They also had good scores for the next five weeks of 36, 38, 35, 34, and 38. In week 11, they got their highest score of 39 for the Viennese Waltz and Rumba and got the maximum 5/5 for the swing-a-thon. Chigvintsev and Tointon made it to the final along with Matt Baker and Pamela Stephenson. The pair went on to win the competition, beating Matt Baker and his partner Aliona Vilani into second place to be crowned series champions for 2010 .[5] Chigvintsev is one of four professionals to win the series as a first-time Strictly pro.
After their victory it was announced by Tointon that she and Chigvintsev were now in a relationship.[6]
In 2011's Strictly Come Dancing season 9 Chigvintsev was partnered with Holly Valance. He and Valance made it to Week 11, the Semi-Finals, before being eliminated.
Chigvintsev's celebrity partner in the tenth series of Strictly Come Dancing was television presenter Fern Britton. They were eliminated in Week 6.
His celebrity partner in the eleventh series of Strictly Come Dancing was former Coronation Street star Natalie Gumede, who played Kirsty Soames. They reached the finals and became one of the runners-up, along with Susanna Reid and Kevin Clifton, losing to model Abbey Clancy.
In 2011, Chigvintsev was a choreographer on So You Think You Can Dance (UK series 2). He choreographed a Viennese Waltz to "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel for Katie Love & Luke Jackson. He choreographed a Cha-Cha-Cha to "Judas" by Lady Gaga for Bethany Rose Harrison & Lee Bridgman. For the final, he choreographed a Tango to "I've Seen That Face Before (Libertango)" by Grace Jones for Katie Love & Luke Jackson.
In 2011, Chigvintsev acted the part of lead choreographer in the CBeebies Christmas Pantomime, Cinderella.
In 2014, Chigvintsev will be a member of "Dancing with the Stars" dance troupe.
Chigvintsev has also appeared in an episode of the TV show The O.C. and in the movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.[2]

Hey guess what. I'm surprised no one's mentioned this yet but the Buescher TH&C's have the backward hinged G# cluster key too! (or at least the one I own)
Even more surprising is the fact that it actually feels much better than the backward G#'s on the transitional Super 20's! I think it could have something to do with the hinge or even its position/shape. However, I'm sure it wouldn't be very difficult to 'master the cluster' on the Super 20's if you set your mind (and pinky) to it.
"We wanna hear exciting, not excited!" - Craig Scott
I just got some pictures up of my 292,XXX Super 20.
The last owner thought it was a re-laq.... I am not sure.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks ^^
Resolution is always a half-step away.
Also, I finally found my folder of Silversonic pictures. Matching pair of Anniversary Models.
These are the Creme-de-la-creme of Super 20s IMO.
Great looking horns!!
"We wanna hear exciting, not excited!" - Craig Scott
They are beautiful. I have no problems with the C sharp. As I say it's the same as my V1 sop and nino and I really wouldn't have noticed. This horn is also very well set up. The sound and response is what blows me away. My friend on here Byas a Drink has a 299... and a much later horn and he encouraged me to try the 297...He much prefers the sound of the pre 305...horns and described it as dark with a real cutting quality..he also added it was a "real jazz horn" and he's right. He also thought the resonance and intonation is superior on the earlier horns.
As I said I was unprepared for the " Superstuff" after owning a Series 3 that
my V1 slaughtered in every department but this horn is something else.
I just stumbled into the club, and boy am I glad I did. I'm constantly surfing L.A. craigslist for tenors, I found a dude selling a 427xxx eastlake silver neck super 20 for $1000 (a typo??) and I hounded him for weeks until he finally got back to me. He had it shipped from Florida where he bought it in 1999 from his high school band teacher, who owned it since it since its birth in ~1966-7. Apparently 15 people contacted him the first day of the listing, but I was first!! YES!!!!!!
It's a really clean relac, though the engraving is somewhat soft (from buffing or thick lacquer? i dunno), but it does play like a winner. I use hr link 6* with RJS 2H reeds and the response is effortless despite the 15 year old pads and lack of TLC. Compared to my yamaha 62II, the altissimo and palm keys notes leap out without even trying. wow.
It's my 4th sax and first vintage tenor, and I am so bloody happy I made this impulse buy, at a steal no less. The last owner seemingly never swabbed it (other than pad saver) and the inside of the sterling neck was totally coated with black mildewy crap. I cringed when I saw he kept his C* mouthpiece permanently fastened with reed and rovner lig scratching and denting against the neck in the neck bag, what an a**. When I finally swabbed the body some pieces of dead grass came out. I'm so glad I rescued her...
I'm currently investigating some overhaul options to fix the neck dents and repad. can I get a roll call on what you all prefer for pads and resonators? tenor or alto.
I'm leaning towards sarge's vintage premium rebuild with saxgourmet pads and flat seamless resos. it currently has plastic domes and I think it could use a little bit more edge. Downside is wwsax waitlist is till october. I've heard music medic does good work and uses newest materials, may go with them. Horn improvement is a couple hours away, will consider them if the price is reasonable compared to shipping out of state.
Also, I'm not sure how to describe my ideal action setup, since I've only played newer horns, sharp and fast or as close to the original setup as possible...?
I'll post some pics when I get a chance, pre-and post rebuild.
PS. anyone in the market for a Yamaha 62II tenor? haha

Here's mine, a 338,XXXish brass bell, silver neck, full pearled beauty.
well, you are two lucky B******S! the silver neck alone costed me more!
Here's a pic of my old horn. 415XXX. One of the last made in Cleveland.
I replaced it with this.
On behalf of all members of the Super 20 Fan Club I would like to extend my sincerest condolences . Clearly, desperate times must have called for such desperate measures . At the same time, however, I would like to compliment you in that you chose to downgrade to something other than Selmer .

Will George W. Bush pardon Lewis "Scooter" Libby?
Good question and one that has both the right and left buzzing. Conservatives are not just requesting, but demanding that Bush pardon the former Vice Presidential chief of staff sooner than later but Bush appears in no hurry to let Libby off the hook for his conviction of lying to investigators and obstruction of justice.
And while Democrats argue publicly against a pardon they hope privately Bush will do so because they feel it will be an issue to use against Republicans.
Writes Jim Rutenberg of The New York Times:
President Bush has pardoned 113 people during his presidency, including a Tennessee bootlegger and a Mississippi odometer cheat.
But none has drawn the public scrutiny, nor posed the same political challenge, as the candidate that many conservatives hope will be Bush presidential pardon No. 114: I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, who was convicted of lying to investigators in the C.I.A. leak case and sentenced Tuesday to 30 months in prison.
A pardon for Mr. Libby would attract more painful attention to a case from which Mr. Bush had managed to keep his distance for more than three years, a case inextricably linked to the flawed intelligence used to justify the Iraq war and an administration effort to discredit a critic that ultimately exposed a C.I.A. officer. The Democrats who control Congress would be none too pleased, either.
A decision not to pardon Mr. Libby would further alienate members of Mr. Bush's traditional base of support in the conservative movement, a group already angry about his proposed immigration policy, his administration's spending and his approach to Iran.
So far, Mr. Bush seems to be willing to take that chance, saying he will not intervene until Mr. Libby's legal team has exhausted its avenues of appeal.
Already, major conservative and neoconservative organizations, magazines and Web sites are expressing vexation that Mr. Bush has not granted clemency to Mr. Libby, who they say was unfairly railroaded for an initial leak that has now been traced to Richard L. Armitage, the former deputy secretary of state.
7 Responses to "The politics of pardons"
Do not be surprised when Libby gets his pardon….or at the worst an early release. Every President under the Constitution has the power of pardons and reprieves and every President has used it. In fact most presidents have used this power to the consternation of the Congress and at times the American people. Think about Clinton pardoning his brother or the guy in France who's ex wife contributed 3 million I think it was the the Clinton Library in Arkansas. I mean really all the way back to the Midnight appointments of Sam Adams which resulted in Marbury v Madison (1803). The president has used certain powers to promote himself or his party. It is part and parcel of how the system works. It is politics to play the blame game when it is used as well.
I'm not quite the cynic Steve is, I actually believe that most of the decisions by the Court actually do help improve our lot in life. Had it not been for the Courts we would have no specific right to privacy, rights of the accused…which to me often seems to be an oxymoron, suspect classifications, justice as fairness as Rawls would put it. I certainly am not saying the courts are not political institutions because they are human beings, with values and beliefs that often guide their decision making, but I still believe the Courts do try to maintain balance…i.e. the recent decision by the Court which addressed several of the Guantanomo detainees….a supposedly conservative, pro Bush Court votes contrary to Bush's desires. They dont get it right all the time, but more often than not they do…or they rectify their mistakes down the road….although at times it seems wayyyyyyy down the road.

Libby will be pardoned, if anybody thinks otherwise you're Brain Dead.
It is part of the deal made with Libby to take the fall for cheney.
Taking One Day at a Time
Dumbass is a loser, no matter what.
— And how's that fuggin' war goin' Georgie?
…..that Bush/Cheney/Rove are the ones who put the Limbaugh gang up to these strident "protests?"
The better to be able to accede to the "public demand," while hoping and, even, praying Mrs. Libby will keep her mouth shut long enough for it to happen. It's either that…….or a "heart attack" for Scooter, and, perhaps, a car crash for the Missus.
Joe Lawrence
Pardons should be relegated to the dust bin of history. They're a leftover from the days of kings.
There's no earthly reason why a president should have the right to pardon anyone guilty of a crime.
The very existence of the pardon is an admission that our legal system is either seriously flawed or totally corrupt. Letting people go free as payback for political favors is about as blatant an act of corruption as I can imagine.
We should have a Constitutional Amendment to discontinue the Presidential pardon. It's only used for the well-connected and the rich; and proves beyond any doubt that there's rich justice and poor justice.

"The man who laughs has not yet been told the news"
Facing his conviction, abandoned by his "friends", Scooter should be a mensch and tell all – Bush may not pardon him – but he'd make brownie points with the rest of us!
Hey – if Paris Hilton can get out of jail for "medical" reasons (what, no high quality coke and booze in jail???) – why not pardon Scooter – after all – isn't that what American justice is all about? If you're wealthy or famous you don't go to jail???

Heya Merlin,
Nice works here! I like your pencil sketches the most But everything is good!
I think that on your females (well maybe just the last two), you tend to make the space between the nipples and the navel a bit too much (should be approximately one head, ofcourse this differs with such foreshortening as on your last one).
On your last digital I think that shortening the nipple-navel space, making the hips a bit wider and the arm a bit larger will fix most of the proportion issues.
Post your lifedrawings and sketches from Hellmouth!! ^^

Noë - Now that you say it, you are right about the proportion, thanks for the reminder.
I went to the Hellmouth sketchmeet a week ago, had a lot of fun. Here is a selection of life drawings I did there. And I've been doing some fashion sketching the last couple of days.
some more fashion stuff. These are done without reference, as you can see, some proportion issues. And bad marker colors, ah well, had fun making them. hope you like them.
I've been thinking about making this for some time now and I finally started it. Old dude with streetwear listening to iPod. Might add some bling bling. And the clothes will get some vivid colours.

keep on ,ESRAA
teena_mom - Thank you!
In september I started illustration at the art academy Minerva in Groningen and I'm having a great time there. Here is some work I made for school. The fashion illustrations are from reference and the others from life.
I've been painting (traditional) a lot lately, trying to get the hang of it. First two are acrylics, the other oils. Comments & crits are welcome.
And another one (oils).
hey merlijn,
crazzzzzzy good updates, you're really talented man, last 2 posts are just incredible and amazing.. totally impressed by your skill/imagination. the deformed skull in post 100 is really awesome just love it..
see ya later man, maybe we should meet again in a dutch sketchmeet
Teh Gosu - Heey man! Thanks! The deformed skull was inspired by the skulls by Phil Hale, they are amazing, like the rest of his work.
You can check them out here> http://comicartfans.com/SearchResult...&Order=#Member

Hey, man, how're you doing? Already witnessed some of those sketches firsthand and they are extremely impressive! You rendering as well as line-skills are superb, like here for example: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1235410421
Shit, only respect and admiration, sir! I'm humbled to even study in the same city as you!
Lyno - thanks
~Faust~ Hey! Danke! Wow "sir", just call me Merlin . Yeah Groningen is great!
At school I got a great assignment, which is "design your own creature". I'm totally free on how I'm going to do it. Don't have a good idea yet, so I just made some sketches, all I know is that I want to create one without eyes.
Oil painting in progress and fashion stuff.
Awesome stuff man. Could it be possible that you like ladies legs? =)
I love the sketchbook pages and the traditional illustartion stuff a lot, esp number 2 in post #99. I think your digital could use more work, especiall ythe handling of edges.
I just realized on the last sketchbook page (the one with ELLE) the lowers girls face on the left page is from a major fachion show. I really liked the images of these girls with nets on their heads wearing their hace in greasy curls on their faces. Quite original actually, though it doesn't sound as awesome as it looks. Any chance you've got the link?
PS: Sry if I'm being dump, but is Groningen in Germany or the Netherlands? I am thinking about going to a school for illustration, but seems like I'll be attending art academy in stuttgart.
Janos - thanks. Yeah I love lady legs, especialy the ones with the slim ankles, the ones where you think they are about to break with every step they make ;P.
In what way could I improve my digital stuff, and what do you mean with the edges?
I just bought the ELLE magazine, I don't have the links to the net girls, sorry. But you could check out style.com, maybe it's there somewere.
Groningen is in the Netherlands . But it's pretty close to Germany. Good luck on your admission! (if you haven't been accepted yet)
Sketches for the school project 'Angry Lampshade'.
Update of the creature design. Not sure if the perspective of the legs are correct.
Yoo Merlijn, sup bro. Finally got to do Illustration somewhere I see
Small update, I'm leaving Zylom per 1st of April. Don't know yet what I'm doing next but I've got some stuff in the proverbial pipeline.
Nice stuff you've got here, especially the traditional ones. About the creature one, you should check out Richard Dobles creature design vid (if you haven't already), it's pretty neat for this kind of work.

Man, you're so good!
It's fun to browse through your SB, nice studies and different media, I like!
Want to see more
I also saw that you are in first year Illustration at Minerva. I'm doing Fine Art and Education at the AHK in Amsterdam, but I don't like it anymore.
I've heard alot good things about Minerva and I want to try to go there too (although it's a bit too far away), mainly because I've heard that they appreciate old school traditional drawing/painting more.
I don't know if this is right, I'm going to the Open Dag friday.
But when I see how good you are and that you said everyone in your year is very good... I'm afraid I must study by myself some more years, to get better haha

Lane Kiffin takes a lot of heat from pretty much everyone for his unorthodox and seemingly arrogant style, but his handling of Nu'Keese Richardson and Mike Edwards has been impressive, in my opinion. Less than a week removed from their armed robbery arrests, and they're already off the team. Kiffin is clearly sending a message to the team that such behavior will not be tolerated at all, and 1 strike means you're out.
From Kiffin's statement regarding the dismissals:
"After extensive and thorough research of the situation over the last four days and considering various disciplinary options, I've decided it's in the best interest of our program to remove Nu'Keese and Mike. As I've said many times before, we hold our student-athletes to an extremely high standard on and off the field. Our student-athletes must be responsible members of society, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated."

FAIRBANKS, AK-Over the weekend there were a few amazing sports achievements. Natalie Henson, a Bethel woman set a record in power lifting down in Anchorage. There was even a rugby match going on at UAF. I went down to the lanes at the Arctic Bowl for the opening weekend of the Alaska Gold tournament. Not only did I witness a rare feat in bowling but I also stumbled upon a cheerful, dedicated and competitive group of people who want nothing else but to have fun and have the bowling community in Fairbanks grow.
Saturday was day one of the three weekend Alaska Gold Tournament at the Arctic Bowl Lanes. On the first day Alex Holan bowled his first career 800, which requires a 266 average. A near perfect score every game.
"That was my first 800 I ever bowled. I have a couple of 790s. I never reached it. Best feeling I've had as bowler. I have never reached that 800 before, been real close a few times and it's a great feeling," Holan said.
Fellow Alaska Gold bowler Mark Donker was impressed.
"Oh no I've never come close to 800. I have seen I think one other 800. Sets the bar yeah, that set the bar high for some people it did yeah."
But don't let that intimidate you. The bowlers are very inviting and anyone has a chance to win. One of the local bowling hall of famers like Doree Holan, Alex's mother, thinks this is a pretty wide open tournament.
"It is the best of the best. It is a handicap tournament so everybody has a good shot it. If you're a new bowler and you come in with a really low average and you got a good handicap you can take it right away. So, anybody can win it. It's an awesome tournament," Doreen said.
Some of these bowlers are members of the Greater Fairbanks United States Bowling Congress or GFUSBC. The group has a youth program to help develop the next generation of bowlers and make people aware of scholarship opportunities. These Fairbanks bowlers love the game and the family that surrounds it. That was confirmed by GFUSBC president Frank Holan.
"Bowling community in Fairbanks is a very tight knit group. Um, the thing is, is there isn't anything that anyone of the bowlers out here would not to do for one of their fellow bowlers," Frank said.
"Uh the comradey of being out here with your friends, the socialization," Donker added.
"I mean they go above and beyond the call of duty in times of trial and need so, it's a very tight knit group," Frank concluded.

After all, you only get to make them once.
The plot's another story. It's been long in coming and has gone through many revisions.
Lastly, please don't steal my characters.
~ ~ ~
Today was the day.
The day.
Turning this way and that, Tina admired her reflection. Then she shook her head, took down her long, brown hair and tied it up a different way. She didn't like that, either, so she brushed it back out.
She had to look perfect. After all, you only get to make a first impression once and Tina wanted it to be a good one.
It had to be a good one.
Gentle, but firm. Friendly, but respectable. Kind, but-
What if the new Pokemon didn't like her? What if it just sniffed at her and turned the other way?
She sighed. Fretting over it wouldn't do much of anything. The important thing was to be herself. Miss Pyre wouldn't assign her a Pokemon she couldn't get along with. It was against the rules, after all--teachers were supposed to help students prepare a strong, balanced team tailored to their personality and style of battle. That much, Tina knew--she'd read the syllabus.
Only when her alarm clock blasted into life did Tina realize she hadn't even dressed yet. An hour of playing with her hair and worrying and she forgot to get ready for the big day at all!
Shedding her nightclothes, Tina threw open her armoire and then laid out her uniform for the day. She tugged it on and adjusted herself in the mirror, twitching the skirt lower here, the shirt straighter there. She rebuckled her shoes, nice and tight, and made sure her socks came to just below her knees, exactly like regulations said. As for her hair... she'd just about declared that a lost cause when a pair of invisible hands took hold of it and pulled it back into a soft, loose braid.
"Thanks, Kezme--I appreciate it."
Tina grabbed an apple from her nightstand and tossed it to the Abra, still asleep by the window. The fruit stopped, midair, then settled noiselessly on the window sill, all without Kezme stirring in the least.
"You eat that, okay? And when I get back you'll have a new friend."
She smiled. "Yeah, I'm looking forward to it, too." With that, Tina closed and locked the door to her dorm, then started down the stairs of her dormitory.
By the time Tina reached the large, white building at the center of the Pokemon Tech campus where her first class was supposed to be held, the ten-minute warning bell had rung and her heart was racing. To calm herself, Tina focused on page eighteen of /Moments to Mastery: A Beginning Trainer's Guide to Taming Pokemon/.
Page eighteen covered the various tactics for post-capture first interactions. According to the author, it was important that the Pokemon viewed the trainer as the authority figure. Then they wouldn't be tempted to test their boundaries at inappropriate moments. He suggested standing erect and looking the Pokemon in the eye to assert dominance.
In some cases, a little bit of discipline was in order. During times like this, it was recommended that the trainer isolate the Pokemon in their Pokeball for a number of days until it tamed itself. The book said it was also wise to wait until the trainer was far away from the new Pokemon's original territory before calling it from its Pokeball for the first time.
Tina thought the whole practice was really rude.
The entire classroom was buzzing with excited whispers when she finally arrived. Tyler sat in the back, talking animatedly with Sammy, his blazer slung over the back of his chair. By the window, Melanie, Penny, Elaine and Heather were in a tight circle, heads close.
Tina waved hi to Mitchell and Ricky--or was it Ricky and Mitchell?--arguing over who would get the better Fire-type. Steven, always lost in his books, sat alone in the corner.
"Good morning!" Tina bent and gave Steven his morning hug.
"Morning," he said with a small grin as he closed his book.
"What're you reading?" she asked, craning to see the cover.
"/Silver Ninetales/," he said and pinked a bit. "It's really good."
Tina hugged him again. "Let me read it when you're done?"
Steven nodded and opened his book again as Tina sank into the chair in front of him, scooted closer to the desk and arranged her books on the rack under her seat.
"Tina!" Melanie noticed her, left the gossip circle and plopped down in the seat in front of Tina's. She spun it around and leaned over Tina's desk, her blue eyes sparkling with excitement. "What do you think you'll get?"
Tina shrugged. "I don't know--maybe a Ponyta or a Torchic?"
Melanie lowered her voice so only Tina could hear. "Think bigger, Tina! Elaine helped Miss Pyre pick out the Pokemon and she says that someone's going to get a Houndour! It could be you!"
Tina gasped. "That's against the rules, getting a Dark-type in the first year program!"
"Well, yeah, but that's the thing. She says whoever it was pulled a lot of strings to get it done."
"Oh." Tina lowered her eyes to her desk. There was only one direction that this could go. And once Melanie bit into a theory, she'd hold it until someone gave her something new to chew.
"Now, see, I was thinking maybe your grandpa might've-"
She stopped short when the 9:00 bell rang. Everyone else did, too, and turned the right way in their seats. Ten pairs of eyes darted to the clock tower outside the window of the third-floor classroom.
One... two... three... Tina tapped her pencil--come on, ring faster! ...seven... eight... nine!
"Boys and girls, to yo-" Miss Pyre stopped her words short. For the first time since start of term, every single student was in their seat when she entered the room. "...Let's begin, then."
She set a covered basket on the front desk and Tina's attention zeroed in on it. Pokeballs filled that basket. Every one of them had a Pokemon: unique, powerful and full of life. And one of them was about to be hers.
"Penny Brooks?"
Penny stood, walked to the front and collected her Pokeball. The latch opened, releasing a Charmander, and Tina had to bite her knuckle to keep back a squeal. After recalling the Charmander, Penny sat back down and Miss Pyre called another name. One slow, steady breath at a time, the class passed and Tina waited her turn.
A Torkoal, a Slugma, a Magby--/why/ did her name have to be so far down the list? Tina held her breath.
Next Mitchell received a Ponyta. Then Ricky got a Torchic.
Okay, so she wouldn't be getting one of those.
"Elaine North?"
She was given a Cyndaquil. By now, Tina could keep the squeals to herself, but the fidgets were another story altogether.
"Tina Oak?"
She jumped up so fast that her chair almost toppled. Melanie and Elaine giggled as Tina steadied herself and walked to the front, her arms stick-straight at her sides to keep them from trembling.
Almost the second the Pokeball touched her hand, rigidly outstretched, it sprang open. The red light took shape at Tina's feet and faded to leave-
The puppy Pokemon wasted no time. She looked up at Tina and sniffed at her once--Tina froze: moment of truth--and then pounced, knocking her new trainer to the floor, laid out flat on her back.
"I guess we're friends, then?" Tina managed to utter despite the extra weight on her chest.
Tina then had to squirm to avoid the Growlithe's rough tongue as she licked the young trainer's face and hands. "Quit--cut it out--that /tickles/!"
Only once the Growlithe had licked Tina square on the nose did Miss Pyre succeed in pulling the Pokemon off, much to the amusement of the rest of the class. Tina pulled herself to her feet. She braced against another tackle, but the Growlithe sat still, calmly staring up, with her tail wagging and tongue lolled to one side. Tina recalled her Pokemon and clipped the Pokeball to her belt. Then, beaming like a proud mother, she made her way back to her seat.
"Steven Smith?"
Tina gave her friend a small smile as he stood and approached the desk. He ran a hand through his black hair and reached for the Pokeball Miss Pyre held out to him. When the red light faded, he held a little orange Vulpix. The kit turned to Steven and nuzzled his cheek. He pinked, grinned and recalled her, then started back toward his desk.
"We can be training buddies!" Tina whispered to him as he passed her by again. "Vulpix get along great with Growlithe, right?"
Steven gave a small nod and sat down behind her as Miss Pyre called the last student.
"Tyler White," she read, even though she didn't have to; Tyler had already stood to collect his new Pokemon. He pushed his short blond hair out of his face and Tina had to admire him.
There weren't many students outside of her classes that Tina knew, but everyone knew Tyler. Or, at least, everyone knew his name. His parents had paid his admissions fees in cash. For good measure, they built the new upperclassmen's stadium and threw some more money into the dorm projects. It showed in his walk, too, like he owned the world and knew it.
In a flash of brilliant red, Tina's illusions of a gallant gentleman vanished.
"He cheated," Ricky hissed.
"No, he bribed the headmasters, stupid," Elaine retorted.
Other whispers, less distinct, welled up but then Tyler's new Houndour lowered itself to the ground and growled, ready to spring. Tyler waited a minute for full effect then recalled the Pokemon. The talk died away.
"I told you so," Melanie said, looking over her shoulder at Tina as the bell rang to end class.
~ ~ ~
After her classes had ended for the day, Tina returned to her dorm. There, she let the Growlithe out of her Pokeball and allowed her to roam the room.
"Welcome home. Since this is where you'll be staying. With me." She paused. "I'm Tina, by the way. I'm your trainer. And you're a Growlithe."
But the Growlithe wasn't paying much attention. She was under the desk, then by the armoire, then nosing beneath the bed and everywhere else in the room, sniffing, pawing, poking, exploring. Kezme shimmered into view in front of her and the Growlithe leapt backward, barking the alarm. She dove between Tina and the Abra and growled.
"Easy! Down, girl--Kezme's a friend!"
Kezme opened her slit-like eyes and leered at the newcomer, who glowered right back. The Growlithe leapt at Kezme, jaws wide.
"Hey! Stop that! Kezme's not trying to hurt you!"
Click. Nothing but air.
Tina's cry didn't dispel the situation. Every time Kezme sparkled into view, the Growlithe pounced. Finally, she ran smack into the armoire, nose-first. She sat back on her haunches and looked up at Tina with a whimper. Tina settled in beside her and scritched the Growlithe behind the ears.
"Are you going to calm down now?" The Growlithe gave another whine and set her head on Tina's knees. "Good. We're family now. You and me, Kezme and Rowan-"
The Growlithe raised her head.
"You'll meet him soon." Tina scritched the Growlithe's ears again and she laid her head back down. Her ears perked as Tina added. "You can have a nickname, too, if you want one."
"Is that a yes?" she asked when the Growlithe jumped up again and started running circles around her. She smiled and watched her new friend.
"What do you think of the name 'Taja'?"

I'm walking everywhere like this from now on.
I told my best friend that I had deeper feelings for him than just as a friend. I did this yesterday………….. The silence is real……….Tuesday Jul 7 @ 07:24pm
The person I wish I could sooner or later spend the rest of my life with because I feel an extreme connection with them romantically and emotionally and in every way possible to feel connected just text me saying they might be having a baby…. The feeling obviously isn't mutual. I hate my life lol………..Thursday Jul 7 @ 12:33am
Literally nothing to Reblog sometimes.Tuesday Jul 7 @ 01:09am
As I liked/re blogged things on here I was like "man I like a lot of different things." Sometimes I see pizza and I'm like "OH LIKE LIKE REBLOG" and sometimes I see pizza and I'm like "UGH SKIP……."
I'm weird I know, but yeah I always wanted to keep this blog with like a theme of specific things re logged and the rest just keep them as likes BUT FUCK THAT Im gonna Reblog whatever I want to Reblog at that moment. If tomorrow I'm no in the mood if "liking" ass pictures then oh well that's why it was yesterday.
What I'm basically saying is Nobody should hold back on doing something they really want to do. Whatever the case may be. (In this case, re blogging an liking shit)Friday Jul 7 @ 01:05am
I like who I am. I'm learning to LOVE who I am…. Literally…. Why are humans insecure? I mean like why the fuck do we care about opinions that don't matter? I come off as very confidant in person but I complicate myself believe it or not. Nah, I'm not the hottest dude on this planet but I am realizing I'm actually very valuable. I'm special. And I am starting to fall in live with myself. Above all things I constantly fall in love with daily lol
I am who I am and I accept whatever experiences are thrown at me.Friday Jul 7 @ 12:59am

Manager's Letter
Summer is here and you don't have to go far to play! With over 700 acres of community and neighborhood parks and facilities in a Township only 10 square miles, it's evident that recreation and outdoor activities are important to the quality of life in Upper St. Clair. The many parks, 16 tennis courts, a 3 hole golf course, 5 baseball fields, 9 basketball courts, 5 soccer fields, walking trails in Gilfillan and Boyce Mayview Parks, and a variety of programs support that fact. The Community & Recreation Center at Boyce Mayview Park offers both indoor and outdoor aquatics along with basketball courts, fitness equipment, and an 1/8 mile elevated walking track.
One of the more recent additions to the recreational facilities is The Pirates Charities Miracle League Field of the South Hills located at Boyce Mayview Park. Former Major League player Sean Casey and his wife Mandi, through Casey's Clubhouse, spearheaded a drive to build this field. Dedicated to providing children with special needs the opportunity to hit, throw, and take the baseball field just like their peers, the League has enjoyed tremendous success with over 300 players participating this season. With 275 buddies, 38 coaches and another 150 friends with special needs in additional programming, Casey's Clubhouse, building on the success of this program, embarked on another project – a Miracle League Playground. Currently under construction, "The Clubhouse" is due to open this summer. Both facilities are funded with business and individual donations and continue to encourage that financial support through Casey's Clubhouse.
Work is also taking place in other parks. Wiltshire Park is undergoing a major renovation with the main work beginning in Fall 2014 with funds granted by the Department of Community & Economic Development. The Municipal Playground on McLaughlin Run Road opened last year with two play areas, one designed for older children and one more suited to those 5 or younger.
Our Recreation & Leisure Services Department offers a variety of fitness programs year 'round. The Upper St. Clair Athletic Association is made up of scores of volunteers offering a gamut of sports from soccer, flag football, softball, wrestling, basketball, and baseball. For the Fall and Winter, tennis bubbles are installed over the tennis courts on McLaughlin Run Road, keeping the facility open all seasons.
A photo gallery of each park is available here on the Township of Upper St. Clair's website. Whether you enjoy team sports, an individual fitness regimen, leisurely stroll or rigorous hike on a number of trails, or taking in the scenery from a park bench, you will find that opportunity here in Upper St. Clair!

Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen has been named to the board of directors of Hewlett-Packard, bringing the number of directors on the board to 11.
The San Jose Mercury News quotes IT Business Edge blogger Rob Enderle saying Andreessen:
brings quite a bit to the table. He will be able to help predict where HP needs to go.
Andreessen sold his software company Opsware to HP two years ago for $1.6 billion, according to Bloomberg.
Most recently, he launched the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, plus he and other investors agreed to buy a 65 percent share of VoIP service Skype. He is co-founder of the online networking service Ning.com.

@ dc42: Thanks for your reply. That's it, with 5V the IRF630 is just ON, so I'm trying to save every mV of gate drive :-)
I am not using PWM or any fast switching. Just switching the LED array ON and OFF with seconds or minutes in between, so switching speed is not an issue here, but the 1kOhm series resistor can even go down to 470Ohms and still have the Arduino channel protected for transient currents due to the parasitic gate-drain capacitance. Of course, using a buffer IC would solve all these issues, but why complicate the circuit and
incur extra costs when this simple gate-drive works well for the current application? @all: Any comments?

No reasonable person who has seen the arena stats could deny that this buff to scare beast was needed. By denying it, Blizzard has gone beyond incompetence. It's really starting to look like these decisions are guided by the developers preferences for the classes they play.

As we enter the final week of spring training, fans begin to become more anxious for opening day and Major League clubs begin to mold themselves into the final product that will be the 25-man roster.
With it being so late in the spring, the team cuts begin to occur frequently. Also when April 1st beckons, available names via trade or free agency are thrown around to provoke thought on how these guys may improve a team.
The Yankees have trimmed down their roster a handful at a time. It began when Nik Turley, Jose Ramirez, Francisco Rondon, Slade Heathcott, and Gary Sanchez were sent packing. Then came Bryan Mitchell and Manny Banuelos.
However, the biggest group of cuts came this past week as the regular season approaches. On the pitching side, the Yankees sent off Bruce Billings, Robert Coello, and Brian Gordon who obviously were not going to make the team. They also reassigned prospects Chase Whitley and Mark Montgomery. Montgomery will start the year in Triple-A.
On the hitting side, Jose Pirela, Ramon Flores, and Corban Joseph have all been cut from the big league roster. Catchers Francisco Arcia and Pete O'Brien were also sent packing. Finally, outfielders Tyler Austin and Yankees number two prospect Mason Williams are also gone.
There are still rotation and bullpen spots available as well as one more infield spot. Although the fifth spot in the rotation will likely go to Michael Pineda, there are a few key pitchers left fighting for a spot on the club. Those guys are Dellin Betances, Cesar Cabral, Preston Claiborne, and Vidal Nuno.
As for the final infield spot, Zelous Wheeler, Yangervis Solarte, Scott Sizemore, and Russ Canzler all remain in contention. The Yankees will likely be smart and stay within the organization for infield depth but that does not mean rumors won't be thrown around.
Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins seems to have worn out his welcome in Philadelphia and has become expendable. However It doesn't appear to bother Rollins as he said "… I can't be traded. It doesn't matter."
Rollins has 10-and-5 rights, meaning he has spent at least ten years in the league while at least the last five have been with one team. This gives him a no-trade clause which it appears he is not willing to wave. As for the final rumor being thrown around this week, Stephen Drew…. again.
No shocker here. Many people still believe the Yankees are the best fit for Drew, but I can't see it happening unless an infield injury causes them to become desperate enough. Keep an ear open for the remaining cuts as it will be very interesting to see who gains Joe Girardi's trust and ends up filling out the roster.

Here's my surprise to myself and the world! I'm using that fabric I bought last weekend in conjunction with a denim jacket (now vest) from goodwill and some spikes from www.studsandspikes.com (lol)
I'll be sewing on the fabric this weekend and attaching the kitten print fabric to the pocket covers and painting the buttons black.
I'll also attempt to distress the denim a little bit, tastefully…
