With the eerily realistic resurrection of Tupac via hologram at Coachella this past weekend, we couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to see more of our favorite lost legends come back to life. What we'd pay to see them in the flesh (kinda) once more! This is an open letter to the Hologram Gods, here's a list of icons you need to get to work on next. Chop chop.
10. Kurt Cobain/Nirvana
As we all know Kurt Cobain tragically ended his own life back in 1995, leaving fans devastated. What we'd give to see him rock out to 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' once more.
9. Michael Jackson
Like so many legends who have met an untimely end, the news of Michael Jackson's death from a prescription drug overdose at age 50 sent shock waves around the world. This is why we need some 'Billy Jean' in hologram!
8. Bob Marley
So many Marley lovers never experienced him in real life. What a great way to recreate his music for his ever-growing fanbase, decades after his death!
7. John/Lennon The Beatles
John Lennon's death was surely one of the most tragic losses in music history. Murdered by a crazed fan outside his New York City apartment, the world lost one of the great humanitarians and artists of our time. 'Imagine' John Lennon in live form again!
6. Judy Garland
Another legend lost to prescription drugs, Judy was one of the original quintessential Hollywood stars. A performer from an early age, her voice and unique yet fragile beauty still continues to earn her legions of fans. Who could ever forget The Wizard of Oz and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow?" Yes, Judy in hologram please!
5. Jim Morrison/The Doors
No one knows the real story behind Jim Morrison's death. He was found dead in a bathtub in Paris, and due to an absurd French law at the time stating autopsies didn't need to be performed unless "foul play" was suspected, his body was never examined. There is no official cause of death, but many suspect it was drug-related.
4. Audrey Hepburn
One of the most beautiful, kind, and gifted actresses of all time, Audrey dazzled audiences with her Oscar-winning role in Roman Holiday in 1953. The world fell in love with her instantly. Sadly, Hepburn passed away from cancer at just 62. Though not a singer per say, we'd still pay big bucks to see her rendition of 'Moon River' from Breakfast at Tiffany's.
3. The Notorious B.I.G
Killed in retaliation for suspected involvement in fellow rapper Tupac Shakur's death in Las Vegas 2 years earlier, Notorious B.I.G a.k.a Christopher Wallace was gunned down in his SUV after attending a Vibe Magazine party in Los Angeles in 1997. His murderer has never been found. We'd be hypnotized by Biggie on stage again!
2. Elvis
No surprise for our #2 pick. Elvis, perhaps the most famous man of all-time brought hip-thrusting rock 'n roll to America in the '50s and has been a legend ever since. Years of substance abuse led to his death in 1977 at age 42. But in hologram Elvis could live on forever!
1. Marilyn Monroe
One of the most beautiful and tragic movie stars of all time, Marilyn gained adoring fans through her rags-to-riches story and her magnetic on-screen presence. The orphan-turned-superstar was born Norma Jean Mortensen in 1926 and was abandoned repeatedly throughout her life. She started using barbituates as a struggling actress in her early 20's, a habit that eventually led to her demise at age 36. Her official death is ruled a suicide by acute barbituate intoxication, but conspiracy theories from a mob "hit" to a possible JFK/Bobby Kennedy involvement continue to fly. We may never know exactly how she died, but Marilyn's angelic face lives on for eternity through her films and recordings. Marilyn is the ultimate hologram resurrection!

Now that the VFX Oscar category has been expanded from three to five nominees, what's to become of the bakeoff? That was a hot topic of conversation last night during the reception at Kate's. Apparently one plan being considered for next year is to expand the bakeoff shortlist from 7 to 10 while trimming the 15-minute demo reels to 10.
"To me, the bakeoff is like an essential part of modern VFX culture," suggested Paul Franklin, the visual effects supervisor for Inception [2]. "It's something that everyone aspires to: everyone wants to win an Oscar. But the actual bakeoff itself -- when I got to the bakeoff with Batman Begins [3] as part of that team five years ago -- a huge part of it was that you were there, in front of your peers in the industry. Whereas if it's just some anonymous committee that decides on it, you've got no idea, they could've just spun the dice. But you feel if you got up there and gave a good account of yourself and you got people to see it and you can actually gauge people's reactions, it's a special night. And it would be a real shame if they did away with it."
Eric Barba of Digital Domain starting things off by reminding his VFX colleagues that the groundbreaking Tron was not even allowed to compete for an Oscar because computers were considered an unfair advantage. He then admitted it was intimidating trying to live up to a legend with Tron: Legacy [4]. But Digital Domain not only raised the stakes with a host of new vehicles and environments in raising the Tron bar, but also how important it was to shoot in 3-D for an immersive experience. However, the biggest challenge was improving its performance capture capability (Face Plant) for turning the 60-year-old Jeff Bridges into the 35-year-old Clu avatar. Everyone knows what Bridges looked like in Against All Odds, and that's what they were aiming for, using the actor to help drive the performance as his younger self. This involved a smaller footprint, writing better tracking data and improved data wrangling (with the help of EA in Vancouver), but also putting the volume process into the hands of the animators with a new interface for faster and quicker results.
Meanwhile, in his Inception presentation, Franklin described how each sequence had its own unique technical challenge: the zero gravity required monumental rig and wire removal, plus rebuilt environments and floating CG objects at the end, and necessitated roto because there was no greenscreen work. The strange Limbo City featured all sorts of conceptual challenges and they arrived at a procedural method for combining the structure of a glacier with 20th century architecture. For the Bond-inspired ski chase, they needed very convincing environment work and practical miniatures from New Deal and then blowing it all up. And for the folding city-- which has become the film's iconic image -- they had a large logistical challenge in recording and reproducing the architecture of Paris so that it held up to the scrutiny that it demanded.
For Scott Pilgrim vs. the World [7], Frazer Churchill explained how they were tasked with translating Bryan O' Malley's manga artwork and director Edgar Wright's pop cultural vision into a graphical-looking film. This was apparent in the very stylized fight sequences, all of which were based in a hyper-real, alternate world. Double Negative and Mr. X went through every storyboard to establish how to realize each frame: they'd identify which shots they thought would be slo-mo, Phantom digital, film, VistaVision or regular spherical; how much set to build, how much set-extension, which characters would be shot in bluescreen or digital. Each frame in SP became a marriage of physical & digital techniques, and they locked down their approaches early on, thanks to the extensive storyboarding, test shooting and previs that had already been done.
With the penultimate Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 [9], Tim Burke explored how they've continued down the path of gritty realism for this road movie outside of Hogwarts for the first time. He said that MPC's opening set piece featured six of Harry's friends shape-shifted to look like the famous wizard to fool the Death Eaters. There was plenty of CG environments, CG digi doubles and a mixture of stunt work and face replacements. For the sake of believability, they used the real performances of each actor to drive the CG Harry and then made the transformations a hybrid of Harry and the real characters. This entailed Daniel Radcliffe playing Harry seven times and using motion control to shoot multiple passes for every single shot with Radcliffe. Burke also described the improvements in both look and performance for Nagini the snake (MPC) and Dobby and Kreacher (Framestore).

Investigators in Loudoun County are looking for an unknown man who reportedly attempted to hug and kiss two women near Northern Virginia Community College's Loudoun campus.
A female student reported that an unknown man started talking to her as she was walking from a bus stop between 7:20 p.m. and 8 p.m. Oct. 21. The man attempted to kiss her cheek, then hugged and kissed her, according to a report from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
A similar incident was reported to campus police around 7 p.m. on the same day.
The picture attached is one traveler that got stuck at Reagan National Airport — and it wasn't due to a layover. Animal Welfare League of Arlington shared this picture of a cat stuck in the wall at the airport.

My nine-year-old bought this today. She loves it. She could follow the directions and put it together herself, which was nice. She loved all the little details like the flowers and the kitten. The new Lego Friends characters are cool. I was skeptical, but I think it is pretty neat now that we've got it home. There are textures and details that I haven't seen in Lego sets before. We are going back to buy more.

Wow. It seems quite a shame to all of these pretty cool sets that are targeted only at girls. Not that boys couldnt play with them, but we certainly get the picture that these sets werent designed for "everyone." Did they have to include so much pink and purple? The other sets have always seemed color neutral as far as gender. I know all of the girls and boys I have seen have loved playing with a variety of the sets; I've never had a girl shy away from playing because there was a yellow house or a green car. I'm kind of resistant to the people also, but that's the "why mess with a good thing" in me.... I guess I'll just be thankful there'll finally be a set my son isn't constantly bugging me for. Sad.

Tree House
By eamesgirls

Comments about LEGO Friends Olivia's Tree House (3065):
My 8 and 6 year old daughters LOVE this set. When they get home from school they run to play with it. It was received last year at Christmas and they still play with it. They love the animals in this set. It is pretty small compared to some of the boy's sets in the same price range but we have gotten a lot of use out of it.

Adorable!! I'm hooked...
By LindsayF
from Normandy
I'm a college graduate who grew up collecting/playing with Lego, and I saw this set in the clearance aisle of my local big box store. I usually go for Castle or LOTR sets these days, but this treehouse took me back to my childhood Belville days and I couldn't resist scooping it up (apparently I have 6-12 year old tastes). ;) Things I love: -The animals each have a "home"-- kitty has a bed, and the bird has a house. Just too cute, and satisfying somehow. -New flower elements- way cooler than the ones I had as a kid! -Unlike Belville, these are roughly the same size as the other Lego themes. I remember as a kid kinda resenting the implication that girls couldn't build small, detailed models-- the Belville sets included huge wall elements and oversized characters, and were generally unsatisfying builds that didn't mix well with my other Legos. I like what Lego has done with the Friends line. Some people say they're "too small"--I prefer them the same size as other themes. -You can swap hair elements with traditional minifigs! It's a little thing, but I love the new hair elements and it's fun that you can use the styles you already have on the Friends as well (or put Friends hair on your Castle princess). -Tons of fun details! The little milk carton is adorable, I love the telescope, and the flowers/ladybugs/butterflies are fun to decorate with. -Good construction. Unlike the tree in the Medieval Market Village, this one doesn't constantly fall apart (don't get me wrong, I love my MMV). Things I don't love: -Lego's a bit more stingy with the minidolls than they are with traditional minifigs. The Friends sets in the $20-$35 price range come with only one or two figures, while other themes will have 3-4 figures in this range. The animals in this set kind of help make up for that, but still, I wanted more than one figure. ...so of course I had to buy more Friends sets. In conclusion, I don't know that I would have bought this at full price, but on clearance it was a heck of a deal and I love it. I now have the urge to buy ALL the Friends sets. This could be bad. But it will definitely be fun! .

Wonderful first set.
By Yellowbooks
from Des moines
This is a perfect first set. It has fun pieces, like cats, a ladder, and a bench. It's not well supported on the left of the tree house when you look at the front of it, so kind of be careful on that part. Though it has 191 pieces, I don't think twenty dollars was appropriate.More like fifteen dollars would be nice.

I bought this for my son's friend who turned 7. She already has a few sets and this adds more fun for her. I was told from her mom that she was so excited when she opened it. My son loves Lego and he has a friend who does as well.

Lots of pieces here for the girls...
By dward6215
from louisville
i picked this set up for my 5 year old daughter yesterday.she came back into the living room(we set up our spare bedroom to display and build our legos,the living room was getting crowded.)and said "look dad,done."..i was like "man,that was only a half hour.im gonna go broke if you keep building these this fast!"..its true because when shes done building a set,she starts talking about this other set she saw and wants now.she gets it from me i guess:)anyway,i didnt build it so ill let her review it...ok,this tree house is awesome!there are flowers all over the tree tops,a cat bed for Olivia's kitty,and a really cool birdhouse with a birdy!The ladder is cool,it lets Olivia climb up to her treehouse and play with her kitty and water her flowers.i like this lego the best because of all the flowers and pretty colors.it reminds me of summer.build me a tree house dad...ok parents,i think its all about the colors with these friends sets.my daughter loves these sets,she wont take any help on them and the cool thing is,she doesnt need any.im very proud of my little one.awesome.she has her eye on a few more friends sets but we still have a few chima and superhero sets to collect.she loves them though so those others might have to wait a little bit.thats cool too because i get to see her build these by herself.one cool thing,i told her that the "other" blok building company has barbie sets,she looked at me and said "they arent legos dad,they just arent the same..."..i think she got that from a Family guy episode..too funny.love that baby.:)

By readpfc
from Waterlooville
GR8 item for p&p. My 8yo daughter had slight trouble following the insrtuctions book though, I helped her then got carried away myself! Having nimble fingers helps for the small bits. Overall I have a very happy daughter who plays with it all the time. Lego was never like this when I was a child. A good product.
Great for girls!

My 9 year old daughter absolutely loves the Lego Friends line! She is really enjoying Olivia's Tree House, especially the little cat & bird.

Recovering the Satellites really helped me through a dark time in my life. Unfortunately I was suicidal and EVERY song on the album lifted my spirits and helped lift me up and out of that darkness. That was some 15 years ago and I'm alive and well today and still digging your music. I am coming to LA next year and would love to meet and thank Adam for his poetry that helped see me through that rough spot. God bless guys. Keep up the great work!

Former Formula One driver David Coulthard drives the Red Bull Racing Running Show Car through the 1.5 mile Lincoln Tunnel, which connects New York and New Jersey. Coulthard had loads of horsepower (and no gridlock) on his side, so he no doubt set the record for the fastest-ever commute through the tunnel.
The Formula One team is in New York City this week with the high-revving demo car around the tristate area. Somewhere Vin Diesels ears are ringing.
Next season the Grand Prix of America is expected to race through the streets of Weehawken, NJ, right across the Hudson River with NYC as a backdrop. Red Bull Racing decided to take advantage of some free summer time by taking a joy ride right around the corner of its future venue.

For the last three years High Cascade Snowboard Camp, Trevor Graves, and a slough of other people (including TWS and The Brooks Institute) have been putting on a photo workshop at Mt. Hood. The course covers all aspects of snowboard photography, from novice to expert, and every thing in between. Besides the actual art of taking photos instructors like Kevin Zacher, Embry Rucker and Chris Owen walk campers through exactly who they should bug the hell out of to get said images published, as well as teaching them other inside industry know-how.
Here are some photos from the students this year. If this sounds like something you'd like to do check out www.highcascade.com for more info. If you don't want any info-well, good for you, too.

I wish we could get more Poles.
Beats Arabic.I´ll also bet that the Polish immigrants have a Judeo-Christian heritage.I agree with #1.
Believe me, the Poles make the best of neighbors. The Brits who don´t appreciate this should have to endure what we have here in Chicago!!!1Art
Agree, wish WE were getting the Poles.
#1 & 2..........take my soon to be ex sister in law.......the nasty, rude anti-semitic shrew who used my poor little brother as a green card program.She informed us that most Poles just love to put on the sad face but really really loved them some Auschwitz´s.....You can have her.
#5. Your ex SIL is the exception, not the rule. I am polish and some of my relatives were victims of Auschwitz, all Catholic, including a Catholic Priest.I wish we would allow the immigration of 20 million hard working, Christian blue eyed blond people..just to make it fair right?
#5, you got a lemon. It even happens with BMWs sometimes.
#5, you don´t know what you´re talking about. Auschwitz was originally bilt to house Non Jewish Poles, who worked as slave laborers for the Nazis. It later expanded to Birkenau which was an extermination center for Jews. During the war, Polish Christian deaths by Nazi hands and Jewish deaths were about equal in Poland. Many Polish Catholics died saving Jews. As an American of Polish descent, I take umbrage with your ignorant post.
Uh, #8.......I too am of Polish descent but buddy you better read what I wrote that my SIL SAID. NOT ME, my SIL.If you´d like I can show you some of the many many pix she and her pals took of them mocking and mugging in front of the sign.
Why don´t you post them.
If you don´t think the Poles suffered, consider this: Hitler invaded in 1939, starting World War II. At the end of WWII, the Nazis were expelled from Poland--by the Soviets. For Poland, WWII resulted in the exchange of one brutal dictator for another. An interesting movie to watch about the "liberation" of Poland is The Pianist.
OK, little reading comprehension here folks.....I wrote about what my SIL, from Zakopane told me.NOT MY OPINION.It was ONE of the reasons I despised her from the git go, seeing as how I was a shabbos goy as a young man, and own my own yarmulke.But now #8/10, let me say this........Way to propagate the stereotypical image of WE people of Polish descent.Or did you NOT note the disdain in my words as I wrote ´my soon to be EX SIL?"przejdz bzdura w kapeluszu.
I would bet the Poles in England are workers, and not welfare slugs.
I would rather hear Polish all day instead of spanglish.

Fergie might be preggerz with a tiny human, but the Black Eyed Peas are currently expecting a new addition to their family too!
A source VERY close to the situation has told PerezHilton.com that the funk-tastic band has secretly been auditioning aspiring female leads for the group.
Since The Duchess has made it common knowledge that she plans to take the next few years to herself — for parenting and another solo album — the band agreed it was time to move on.
It should definitely be noted that this is a temporary arrangement, as Fergie will be welcomed back with open arms whenever she chooses to return.
For the time being, however, the boys just simply cannot wait to make new music. They've gotta let their muses guide them, and they need/want a lucky new lady to fuse talents with.
No time-frame on when we can expect them to debut their new gal, but whoever she is — she's got BIG shoes to fill… good luck!!

Study: Only 2 percent of unused prescription drugs going to take-back programs in Wisconsin
A new study indicates the vast majority of prescription and over-the-counter drugs in Wisconsin are not being disposed of properly and recommends boosting programs designed to collect unused household medications.
MADISON – A new study indicates the vast majority of prescription and over-the-counter drugs in Wisconsin are not being disposed of properly and recommends boosting programs designed to collect unused household medications. Such programs keep more of the drugs out of the hands of those who would abuse them and out of the environment.
In Superior, a drop box is open daily in the Superior Police Department lobby in the Government Center, 1316 N. 14th St., suite 150. All household prescription and over-the-counter medication can be dropped off between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. No syringes, thermometers or needles are accepted. Just cross names off prescription bottles and drop them in the green box, similar to the book drop box at the Superior Library.
The study, commissioned by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and written jointly by University of Wisconsin Extension and the Product Stewardship Institute, takes an in-depth look at current collection programs to identify challenges and opportunities for pharmaceutical destruction, program funding and outreach.
"Unused household drugs are both direct and indirect public health risks, so we wanted to learn how much of an impact current take-back programs are having and how we can make them more successful," said Barb Bickford, DNR medical waste coordinator.
The study estimates that about that 118.8 million prescriptions and over-the-counter medications – approximately 13.1 million pounds – were dispensed and sold in Wisconsin in 2010. Of these, about one-third, or 4.4 million pounds, went unused, and only 2 percent of those were collected for safe disposal.
"The remaining 98 percent were discarded in the trash, flushed down the drain, abused, or are still in our medicine cabinets," Bickford said.
The report indicates that, while the growing number of take-back programs in Wisconsin have shown that pharmaceutical collection measures can work, a number of barriers continue to prevent existing collection programs from achieving significant diversion rates. The study found that barriers to greater access to drug collection programs include high costs, lack of sustainable funding, consumer inconvenience and low public awareness.
"The study showed that, as currently operated, pharmaceutical waste collection programs in Wisconsin are not cost effective when compared to programs in some other countries," said Steve Brachman, UW-Extension solid and hazardous waste specialist and co-author of the study. "The average total cost per pound for Wisconsin take-back programs – including donations, volunteer labor value and disposal costs – ranged between $8.05 and $10.07 or between $0.01 and $0.02 per prescription sold. By comparison, the average cost of programs in Canada is $3.50 per pound and in France is $0.23 per pound."
The researchers recommend boosting opportunities for the public to drop off unused medications without charge, increasing awareness of how safe disposal promotes public health and safety and securing a source of sustainable financing for a statewide program. In addition, adopting regulatory changes to facilitate safe, efficient transportation and destruction of returned pharmaceuticals would reduce program costs.
The study also noted that changes to take-back programs can help with employment and job creation through increased waste hauling, pharmaceutical destruction and patronage at local pharmacies.

The selection of Mitch Daniels as president of Purdue University is somewhat incredible as well as amusing. Daniels, in another one of his routine humble acts, claimed he thought there were many others who would have been a better choice for the job.
I think he is right about that. I would say right here in Indiana at least 100,000 or more would have been a far better choice. The problem for these people was that they weren't the ones that had appointed eight members to the board of trustees.
So now Daniels, in another one of his routine humble acts, claims education has always been a top priority of his. Yet on his becoming governor he wasted no time in declaring war on our schoolteachers in this state. He immediately stripped the teachers of collective bargaining rights. While governor, he has cut millions of dollars in public school funding. There were also issues about job security and job protection, and not in the teachers' favor.
We can all understand there is a limit on how much can be spent on education. And, yes, there is a limit on how much can be paid in teachers' salaries and benefits. However, a person is only fooling himself or herself to think that we are going to get the best schoolteachers in the world here and pay them fast-food factory wages.
Purdue has a simple retirement policy. At age 65 a person must retire. That's something most people could easily understand. As we have all since learned, Purdue seems to have several different retirement policies. It's just a matter of which one they choose to go by.
Here in Fort Wayne they retire a guy because he is going to be 65 years old and replace him with someone who is 64. Daniels is 63 and is getting a five-year contract.
Supposedly, one of the reasons Daniels was picked for the job was that he has a celebrity status about him. Well, so does Mike Tyson. His age is against him. He ain't in his 60s yet.
Curtis J. Ransom
I would like to thank the Fort Wayne Street Department for their aid. My husband and I own several rental properties in Fort Wayne and our home is located in the Brierwood Hills neighborhood. We were very worried about the tree and debris removal around the properties. The street department seemed to be everywhere. In the rental areas, streets were cleared and the debris disappeared. As small-business owners, this means a great deal to us.
At our home, we had a large tree split apart. We were able to cut up a great deal of the tree ourselves but thought we would have difficulty locating a tree service. When the Fort Wayne Street Department showed up and completed the job, we could not have been more thankful. It was a great relief as my husband and I both work full-time as well as maintaining our rentals. There is only so much money and time to go around. The men who showed up were professional and dedicated to completing the entire task at hand. I want to thank John, Jason, Lee, Roger and Cory for helping us. We deeply appreciate their hard work, good will and humor.
Our best to you.

President Obama's lawyers, in defending the constitutionality of ObamaScare, said that if the law was not found legal under the commerce clause it still could be found legal because Congress has the authority to tax. The lawyers said that the law is a form of tax. This was their argument. Roberts did not create this issue. He would not approve it under the commerce clause, but he could not deny that Congress can levy a tax. President Obama used this reason to have the law approved.
For President Obama, now, to deny that it is a tax, removes the reason it was passed. Perhaps it should be retried. Either President Obama's lawyers or President Obama doesn't know the true nature of ObamaScare. As Pelosi said, we really don't know what it is until we pass it.
It seems that even though it is passed, we still don't know what it is.

Prosecutors conducted a lengthy investigation and "determined that there was not enough evidence to pursue charges in this case," District Attorney Seth Williams' office announced in a written statement. "The office has a continuing obligation to seek the truth, and that did not stop with the arrest of these defendants."
The boys, who ranged in age from 14 to 15, were charged with raping the girl in a stairwell at the southwest Philadelphia recreation center the evening of July 16. They were on house arrest and had been scheduled to stand trial in September.
Prosecutors did not elaborate on why the charges were dropped.
The girl told police she was approached by several boys who started talking to her at the Francis Myers Recreation Center, then lured her to an upstairs stairwell and attacked her. A staff member at the busy rec center found the distraught girl in the third-floor staircase after a group of boys were seen running from the building.
A prosecutor told a Family Court judge on Friday that the district attorney's office would not seek to refile charges against the boys. The names of the boys and girl were not released because of their ages.
The popular neighborhood facility was hosting basketball and line dancing that night, and also has a drop-in game room, where the girl had spent time.

N.C. State had its preseason basketball media day Monday and Observer staff writer Stephen Schramm was on hand as the Wolfpack discussed the upcoming season.
Many observers think N.C. State, which brings back plenty from last season's Sweet 16 team and welcomes a highly touted crop of newcomers - ought to be pretty good. The offseason saw the hype surrounding the Wolfpack grow steadily. Now, the task facing N.C. State is how it responds.
"I come in here with the mindset to get better every night," senior Scott Wood said. "I think as a team, if we can kind of grasp that mindset and just get better and not really worry about, oh, you're supposed to finish first and that kind of thing, we'll be all right."
Richard Howell is arguably the most important member of the Wolfpack. The 6-foot-8 senior is not just an effective post presence, he's also the team's lone experienced forward. But Monday, his appearance is what got some attention.
After dropping nearly 25 pounds prior to last season, Howell looked as if he'd trimmed up even more this summer. He also had a beard that reached nearly three inches below his chin and some long hair he said he doesn't plan on cutting. He said he's debating growing some dreadlocks.
"Richard changes every year, I think," guard Lorenzo Brown said. "He has a new hairstyle, new weight, it's crazy to me. . As long as he keeps playing hard, I don't care. It's all right."
While their teammates were surrounded by reporters or posing for photographers, Wolfpack big men Thomas de Thaey and Jordan Vandenberg weren't too in demand at media day, but they could play a huge role in shaping the Wolfpack's season as they'll be among the main backups to Howell.
Brown said they'll be ready.
"Jordan's gotten a lot better," Brown said. "He had that redshirt season and he developed a lot more. Thomas has developed a lot more, too."
'The whole UNC thing ... if they got off, how could he not?' Lorenzo Brown, on how he was able to stay positive during the NCAA drama surrounding the eligibility of teammate Rodney Purvis

"It's all right."
The hotel was friendly and comfortable, although my wife and I felt that the furnishings were a little dated. Also, the cable TV system was limited, the channel guide difficult to locate and lots of static on some stations. Maybe because of the gorgeous but tall Santa Inez mountains nearby!

Hotel room was comfortable. Decor is a little outdated. We stayed on the first floor which was nice until some young ladies were staying in a room on the second floor. To avoid potential disturbances I suggest staying on the second floor. Overall it was nice for one night.Gerçek Expedia misafiri yorumu

Hey guys, I figured i'd make a thread where we can place all of our recommendations for great DRUM songs on the RBN! I'd love to see a great resource where we can all find great drum songs to blow our brains out!
The Attitude Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVHO_...eature=related) is one of the most fun drum songs i've ever played. I also downloaded the Bill Bruford's Earthworks song (off the online marketplace) and i'm itching to play it. Any other recommendations? So far i've got these on my 'to get list':
The 3 inches of blood song
makeup/breakup - super gravity
drunken lullabies (live) - flogging molly
the complexity of light - children of nova
how we'd look on paper - the main drag

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Saint-Andre has made a host of changes including introducing a new-look half-back pairing of Jean-Marc Doussain and Remi Tales – who have just three caps between them while Benjamin Kayser replaces Dimitri Szarzewski at hooker.
Alexandre Flanquart comes into the second row to win his first cap while Antonie Claassen and Damien Chouly get the nod in the back row.
The Castres pair of Marc Andreu and Brice Dulin, with six tests apiece, also come into a re-jigged back three alongside left wing Yoann Huget.
And Saint-Andre is under no illusions as to the size of the task awaiting his side, who suffered their worst ever result in the RBS 6 Nations this year finishing bottom.
He said: "It's the first time since 1968 we have played three tests consecutively against the best team in the world, and we know the New Zealand team the more they are together the better they are.
"For this week we bring a lot of guys with few caps and the All Blacks bring back a few guys with [many] caps.
"It will be a fantastic challenge for our players. They need to have a go, they need to be scared to play, to respect New Zealand but don't respect them too much.
"It's the last game of a long, long season and we need to just be proud to wear this French jersey and try to do everything to win the game."

only good thing i liked about this episode was N travelling with them
only good thing i liked about this episode was N travelling with them
They got their jet packs back? YES!
Also, I loved how self-righteous N was in this episode. I'm glad they're showcasing his major flaws as well as his major strengths.
Fun episode. I loved that Miruhog, that's a huge accomplishment for an episode to make for me because I've always thought the species was incredibly boring and as useless as every early route Normal-type that isn't Lillipup. This one was so much better than Aloe's and I loved how it was a competent dork or lovable lameass. It totally reminded me of me if I were in Pokemon form. Miruhog was strong and seemed to be better at weight-lifting than Futachimaru and seemed to be just as competent when it came to destroying those obstacles during the test run. Unfortunately Miruhog was held back by its inability to use a ranged Water-type attack to douse fires, instead of this episode being about Miruhog trying to learn Rain Dance or something Miruhog instead sticks to using Sand-Attack which sucks *** at putting out fires. I thought its antics were entertaining, believe it or not. And it was cute too.
I also liked how N seemed to learn a lesson from Hiroto and Miruhog at the end of the day when he says something about Miruhog not wanting/shouldn't be a member of a Rescue Team. Good to see Doryuzu, Mijumaru, and Kibago all do something and Mijumaru not made out to be a joke in what he did. I also loved the mini-team-up between Iris, Miruhog, Doryuzu, and N when Hiroto and the firefighters got trapped and seeing Miruhog save the day. Don't know about the Pururiru. They just sorta felt "there." Liked seeing Futachimaru, it's my favorite member of the Mijumaru line. I also liked how they all wore scarves, reminded me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. They all looked very professional yet cute. Also nice to see N's power once more and his being able to explore different dynamics between different trainers of the world. That strife between him and Hiroto was enjoyable as a subplot.
Even though the two aren't related in the slightest this episode really makes me wanna play Pokemon:Gate to Infinity.
Last edited by Doryuzu; 1st March 2013 at 2:36 AM.
That logic doesn't work when there have been consecutive episodes in a row where Ash has had more than 6 Pokemon.
OBVIOUSLY, the writers can choose whoever they want on Ash's team.
Especially when they don't plan on showing more than 2 Pokemon (Pikachu and Oshawott).
I will not say I'm the best. But by Ash's standards, I'm pretty good. 3DS Friend Code: 2836-1079-8422
Some of you need to look at this before you comment on what a Pokemon should learn. Some of you are okay but some of you need to look at this: http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-bw/ This is the attackdex, it is your friend.
It was better than I thought. I like that Woobat/Yamask appeared and Team Rocket didn't use their balloon.
Like I predicted, this was just a typical filler. I didn't expect great things from it, but I was surprised that Oshawott got to appear; then again, was he "inspired" to evolve after seeing Dewott like so many people predicted? I don't think so. But at least he got to do something. Anyway, I didn't like the character of the day or the Pokemon of the day for that matter because once again, I couldn't relate to either of them. I also wasn't a fan of seeing Team Rocket here; they were just sort of there for no apparent reason, but as always they ended up making things worse for Ash and friends. Most importantly, I'm curious to know why the setting was called the Gulf Coast. Was it ever clarified?
I can't believe what looked like a dumb filler episode actually restored some of my faith in this arc...

Yeah this episode was pretty pointless, although it did have some cute moments.
This episode was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. Just...no words for muscle-Watchog. And Dewott was so cute.
Team Rocket didn't blast off this time. Awesome.
So many times where the camera would just pan to N staring. It was weird. He's stilll the odd man out in the group, but it's nice to see him traveling with them.
I wasn't expecting a lot from this episode, but I thought it ended up being pretty good. If things go where I suspect they're going, this was some good foreshadowing for N, and it they don't, it was still pretty good character development and showcased his abilities to talk to Pokemon well. I liked the COTD and his Watchog, which was a nice little subplot that didn't go longer than needed. And thought Team Rocket was good and I'm glad they're mixing up they're Pokemon. I do hope Woobat evolves to even out the evolution between Jessie and James.
Other than maybe the Flocessey Ranch one, which I didn't even hate that much, I've liked pretty much every episode in this arc. If they stay on track with the conclusion then I'll like it a lot.

This kind of fillers is what keeps me coming back to watch the anime, of all the episodes I have seen in the anime (I seen all by now) this one, is one my top 3 favorites.
I really love Watchog's facial expressions throughout the episode, some made laugh, frustrate, and a few emotionally sad (just wanted to go through the screen and comfort it), at times proud to be a Watchog fan. I also loved Dewott's expressions, he is my #4 favorite. Just wished that more fillers (like this one) had more of my favorite Pokemon in them.

Love the PokeMeerkat!!!
My #1 Favorite Pokemon In The World Goes To: Watchog!

I imagine the reason N kept getting his shots in this episode were because he doesn't agree with using Pokemon the way Hirito used them. And it seemed like this episode actually served as a means of development for N, realizing Pokemon can work along side humans to help deal with crises like the one that happened in this episode. At least that's what I assumed happened.
Lol sassy N episode.
I had alot of fun watching this. Even i dont understand what they are saying.
Removed for being over the 500 KB limit.
Yeah, when the camera was on N he usually had a disapproving face on.
Anyways, I thought this was a pretty good filler (if it actually was filler). It was nice to see Oshawott not being treated like a joke and Dewott was cool.
To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be...

This was a pretty good episode. However, it's too bad that Team Rocket didn't blast off this time. Oh, well. I'm totally looking forward to next week's episode.
This filler. Not the greatest for me...
Fine episode. I knew Team Rocket would only try to make things worse.
A pretty standard episode which I enjoyed but there are two things of note:
- Team Rocket got their motto right this episode!
- I think we are now seeing N questioning the foundations of his beliefs concerning Pokémon. He is trying so hard to stay faithful to his beliefs but after seeing Pokémon wanting to save other Pokémon and people alike and then this is on top of the battles he experienced in the previous episodes which started this whole rethink, I am now really interested in the way this develops.
Anyway, good episode and on to the next one! I have been waiting to see this one for ages!

Introduction to Concept and Form in Architecture: An Experimental Design Studio Using the Digital Me
This paper describes the use of digital media in a first year undergraduate architectural design studio. It attempts to address the importance of developing a design process that is redefined by the use of computing, integrating concept and perception. Furthermore, it describes the theoretical foundations and quasi-experiments of a series of exercises developed for beginning design students.
Media and Design Process [Conference Proceedings]
Throughout known architectural history, representation, media and design have been recognized to have a close relationship. This relationship is inseparable; representation being a means for engaging in design thinking and making and this activity requiring media. Interpretations as to what exactly this relationship is or means have been subject to debate, disagreement and change along the ages. Whereas much has been said about the interactions between representation and design, little has been
Historical Analysis of Building - (Re)Construction in Olivette Park, USA
From 1959 to 1990, East St. Louis, Illinois deteriorated from an ?All-American City? to a national symbol of urban blight. Located on the Mississippi River, the East St. Louis of today faces severe economic, social, and environmental problems. Nearly onequarter of the city?s work force is unemployed and about 40 percent of families are living below the poverty level. But East St. Louis was not always a distressed community. With strong ties to St. Louis and the surrounding region, East St. Louis
Rethinking the Creative Architectural Design in the Digital Culture
This paper tries to examine the effects of emerging digital tools in architectural design. Digital tools are not only practical instruments used for drawing, but they also affect design thinking. As the ones that are used in architectural design are mostly commercial, one can say that design thinking, the identity of the design and the creativity of the designer are defined by the companies which develop these tools. Therefore architects have to be able to manipulate these tools and personalize
An approach for the interoperation of web-distributed applications with a design model
This paper defines the data and inference requirements for the integration of analysis applications with a product model described by a CAD/CAE application. Application input conditions often require sets of complex data that may be considered views of a product model database. We introduce a method that is compatible with the STEP and PLIB product description standards to define an intermediate model that selects, extracts, and validates views of information from a product model to serve as inp
Dise?o Digital. Estudio Exploratorio de caso (Digital Design. Exploratory study of a case)
After the passage of the mechanical era to the digital era, the design must respond with increasing complexity of the technique, together with the plurality of expectations. Design education is sustained in conceptual instrumentation; it implies to recognize problematics that surpass the possibilities of an isolated or self-sufficient discipline; transdiscipline becomes essential for the understanding of the subjects.The porpuse is to generate new instruments for perception of space, combined wi
Twist-escaped loops in the liquid crystalline polymer MBBA
Once a weak shear flow is applied on the nematic liquid, there is a sudden and strong increase in the defect density. At a certain shear rate, the equilibrium density is reached after a while through the creation and annihilation of defects. This in-situ observation enables the study of a wide range of dynamic disclination behaviours during shear, such as disclination-joining, loop-contracting, loop-stretching and loop-breaking. The loops in this image result from type 1 disclinations 'escaping'
Collaborative design of structures using intelligent agents
The construction industry has a long tradition of collaborative working between the members of a construction project team. At the design stage, this has traditionally been based on physical meetings between representatives of the principal design disciplines. To aid these meetings, the information and communications technologies that are currently available have been utilised. These have yielded some success but are hampered by the problems posed by the use of heterogeneous software tools and t
Frozen stress photoelastic fringe pattern during fibre pushout
The experiment indicates a more uniform of shear stress than that predicted by the shear lag model, suggesting that interfacial shear de-bonding strength values obtained from de-bonding loads on the basis of that model may be overestimates.

Vol 40, No 1, pp 131-139, 1992 for more details.)
The Semantics of Graphical Input
