Kansas State running back Leon Patton has
been dismissed from the football team after being charged with one
count of child abuse involving a 4-month-old baby.
Police say that the 20-year-old Patton was arrested and jailed
Thursday on $30,000 bond for a July 15 incident involving a
4-month-old boy.
Police say that the 20-year-old Patton was arrested and jailed
yesterday on $30,000 bond for a July 15 incident.
The arrest warrant stated that Patton allegedly shook the
now-4-month-old baby "feloniously and intentionally."
Investigators would not provide information about the
now-4-month-old boy's current whereabouts or condition.
Patton already had been suspended from the team after a July
traffic stop led to the discovery of outstanding warrants from
2007, one of them for misdemeanor theft for stealing two video
games from a Pottawatomie County Wal-Mart. He also was cited for an
unpaid parking ticket.
After pleading no contest, Patton was sentenced to six months
probation and fined $100.
Outside of a brief statement announcing Patton's dismissal from
the football program, the Kansas State said it would have no other

Maxwell Systems ProContractorMX - Construction is part of the ProContractor MX line, which is a functionally all-in-one system that is built to handle needs of construction companies of nearly any size. The solution's comprehensive feature set allows you to start with most critical applications you want – whether only estimating or only accounting and project management – and grow into the full breadth of offerings and valuable modules as your business needs them. Although the program is known for its accounting functionality the system also supports a firm's project management and estimating needs.
The accounting application includes functionality standard to basic applications such as payroll, general ledger, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. Additional construction-specific functionality is offered in the application to include things like equipment tracking, multi-company support, and item billing. With a complete solution that includes project management and estimating applications, firms can get a better handle on document control and bidding while keeping their financial data in sync with the business.
The software is built to handle nearly any kind of construction firm that does not operate a service branch of their business. The system can support a varied number of trades from general contractor, heavy, highway, concrete, utility contractors and many more.
Like the other offerings in the ProContractor MX family, the ProContractor MX solution is built on the Microsoft .NET platform and works off of Microsoft's SQL Server.

We are a mid-size civil contractor, using only the Estimating and Earthworks portions, so there is a lot of functionality built in that we don't need. This can make some functions a little more difficult than necessary.
On-screen takeoffs are awesome. Visuals and the catalog make estimating much more efficient.
I've never had a problem with the solutions from the software
Support is very good. I always get a call back from our trainer or sales rep when I need help. Support has always gotten back to me quickly, depending on the rating I give my problem.
We like the Earthworks and Estimating very much; they have made estimating projects much more efficient.
WBS codes are confusing at first and can be cumbersome if all you are working on are bid item estimates. But once you get the hang of them, it can make breaking out items much easier.
This is a very powerful program and has tons of capability. Be prepared to invest some time in learning it, but it's worthwhile once you get the hang of it.

For every-day operations, you click on the module you'll operate in and work down the menu of options. It's pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it. Reports are generally very good and can be exported to PDF or Excel for enhanced manipulation. (System reports can be enhanced also internally with a rudimentary knowledge of SQL.)
Depending on your system configuration, you can experience some delays running reports. If your hardware is in compliance with Viewpoint's recommendations, however, you should be fine.
Frankly, it's very well-constructed. Our CPA often comments on the quality of its design. It makes his quarterly and annual work simpler to complete.
Prior to Maxwell Systems' acquisition by Viewpoint, there was a consistent disconnect between our dedicated account representative's assurances that our issues would be promptly resolved and the actual resolution itself. Now, it's quite satisfactory, especially if you can keep your issues with the system in perspective. Some problems are like chipping paint on the walls, others are house fires, so the latter priorities naturally take first place insofar as customer care is concerned.
First, it should be noted that ProContractor is an entity owned and maintained by Viewpoint Construction Software. If anything, my experience has improved since VCS' acquisition of Maxwell Systems. ProContractor does a magnificent job for medium-sized contractors who require some costing rigor in addition to an integrated software package (i.e., including accounting, project management, and estimation in one piece). However, despite the seductiveness of the product's marketing, a considerable amount of thought needs to be invested in determining, analyzing, and comparing your present internal processes from estimation to project closeout with what ProContractor offers. In other words, do not let the marketing materials do the thinking on such a crucial decision for you. ProContractor was designed with industry best practices regarding workflow as well as internal controls in mind, not necessarily simplicity (as with QuickBooks). Many complaints pertinent to supposed extraneous steps actually tie back to how the software, through an impressive yet simple permissions infrastructure, can control who (for example, in accounts payable) enters invoices, approves them, selects them for payment, prints (i.e., has access to) the checks, and posts the transactions. Shortcuts are inexpensive until you realize how expensive fraud and lost trust can become.
I do not dislike this software or the vendor, but this is an excellent opportunity to address points made by others who are dissatisfied with the product, for their disappointment deserves attention from even the most satisfied customer. When my firm adopted ProContractor and dumped QuickBooks Enterprise three years ago (just prior to my hiring, actually), we chose something that was decidedly less impressive upon implementation than presented to the directors during a trade show in Las Vegas. No thought had been given as to how our processes would align with ProContractor's intuition of proper workflow, because we were primarily concerned about fully integrating the firm's processes and procedures within the software ecosystem. We went live in three months flat after intense scrutiny of our costing, project management, and estimation procedures, humbling ourselves along the way through reconciling what we thought we knew with ProContractor's processes architecture and internal controls logic. Granted, we had suggestions (and lots of them) that were heard. Many of them, such as the lien management feature and many of the improvements in iPad integration, can be tied directly to our recommendations. Ultimately, we were satisfied, but that was because our expectations were not to invest in a system that would cater to ourselves without acceptance of potentially radical change, but rather to develop a relationship with the software and vendor that was founded on a trust of the system's logic. From there, we could use the system as a mirror to check our understanding of our business versus how it can function even more efficiently.
More so than anything else, take ample time to ask questions. Ask for a walk-through of a project's life cycle within the system. Invest serious resources into the estimation module, because the estimator is the conductor of the orchestra. His estimates, purchase orders, and project billing parameters can make everyone else's lives profoundly simpler post-implementation. Project management should be well-drilled in the uses of the project set-up, costing, and change management features. Accounting should be aware of much of the project management piece as well as the customer, financial, vendor, employee, and administrative modules to ensure that ultimately, numbers can be trusted and users adequately protected.

There are tabs along the side and you can open numerous windows.
We have been able to get rid of various reports we have in Excel which had caused us triple the work.
The quality is great with the multiple updates they provide.
When I run into a problem, I call my trainer or my sales person and they are always there to help me.
I love how it is so user-friendly. The employees are very knowledgeable and help you every step of the way.
I like everything about this product and its vendor. I don't have one complaint or bad thing to say. This has been a great experience.
Research the needs of your company and don't be afraid to ask questions. Have a demonstration presented to you.

There are too many steps. Menu screens should be laid out in workflow. You should be able to view customers, vendors, and project transactions and details without running a report. You have to save documents and reopen before email. Most transactions cannot be edited; they have to be deleted then reentered.
The potential is there, but it's not there at this time. I am sure that the ability is there, but we are not able to tap into its potential.
Again, the potential is there. The mobile application needs work.
My weekly meetings with our rep have been great! She is very on top of things. However, when I have simple technical issues, I have to submit a request, and it usually takes several days to get answers. When a problem arises, I need help right then or at least within 24 hrs.
I really like the amount of information that can be extracted from the system.
There are too many steps to perform simple task. For example, to write a check, you have to enter post, select print, and then post.
Ease of use is the most important part. Do lots of home work. When testing software, go through your daily procedures, and make sure it will be a good fit. Clarify what is covered in support and what is classified as training.

You have to click here, and then click there, and then click here prior to taking off an item.
It doubles your time for estimating and increases possible errors; it's more difficult to review estimates and saves time on the back end. As Vice President of Preconstruction you can see my concern.
It's very easy to make a mistake, which could cost us millions.
They are very helpful and kind once you get them on the phone. You request support and wait two days to two weeks. I cannot afford to put my business on standby while waiting for their support.
This is an all in one system, and the idea sounds great!
It's not user-friendly. We started a commercial framing and drywall business, made a large investment with ProContractorMX, and have been fighting it for eight months. We cannot redo takeoffs, and the takeoff tab does not match the estimates.
Actually talk to someone that uses it in your field, and test it before you invest in it. It starts off cheap; then you have to keep adding money to make it "work" the way it is needed to work.

For the most part, it is very user-friendly. Dashboards are very customizable for every member of our team.
I am optimistic that all our needs will be met with this software.
Throughout the business review and training, our implementation team continually asked for suggestions to make the product better to take to their development team.
Any questions or concerns we have had, have been addressed with the utmost speed.
Maxwell is very user-friendly, quite easy to switch over to.
Coming from QuickBooks and having no prior job costing experience, the concepts and terminology of Maxwell were a bit difficult to grasp. The training flow of the company confused this issue a bit more, but the employees of Maxwell are very approachable, easy to work with, and dedicated to making sure the system works for you.
Make sure you verify hardware requirements with your IT before purchasing. Although the company is upfront with their requirements, you need to understand them.

Things take twice as long to process because there are too many steps required to get something done.
This program is designed for progress billing only. We bill against issued purchase orders, and it does not work for that at all
It is too rigid; you can't make mistakes. It takes way too much to fix an error.
Their support has been all talk and no action. They have a very slow response time
There's nothing I like about this system right now.
We purchased the accounting and estimating software in October 2013 with the goal of going "live" on 1/1/14. Now it is May 2014 and we are live, but we have had nothing but problems with the program. Our reports have bad numbers, we have performance issues which they have told me are their internal issues that they are working on, and we have no faith in the integrity of the program or the reports. The support team seems to be overworked and has slow response time. They clearly don't seem to have idea how to get our reports to be correct and have no answers at this point.
Beware of Maxwell Systems ProContractorMX program. It is slow, rigid, and difficult to use.

After all of the costs, they don't have anyone who can help us run one project in the demo company. We are particular about our job costing, and Sage is considerably easier to use.
The estimating module that they bought from Quest is awesome. The rest of it is illogical and pointless for our purposes.
I'm sure the quality is there if someone could walk just one job through in the demo for us. We've had hours and hours of department training with videos and webinars.
All the support people are very nice, but nice doesn't cut it. Estimator trainers don't know the PM module; PM trainers don't know the estimating module. Yet both modules need to interface. I have had the estimating software for 15 years and built databases, yet I have left every training session with them having to find an answer 'about that'.
They bought a great concrete estimating software from Quest Solutions, and the Estimating Module is excellent.
They are great at packaging and presenting simple one-stop software for estimating, project management, HR, AP, AR, etc. The cost of the software, maintenance, and training is very expensive. They change every typical construction terminology they can to make it 'special'. A simple attachment is now a "binder item," and the estimating database is now the "catalog."
They are slick at making it look so easy, but what they are really selling is training, support, and maintenance. We track over 50 cost codes through the WBS structures and export to Excel and Sage.

In March of 2013 I wrote a review on the software. I wanted to update my current status on our Maxwell program fiasco. To date, we continue to have issues - they chopped one of my issues as to needing a software update. In the update process, Maxwell said there was an issue and we needed to pay our invoice immediately to complete the upgrade - fair enough, we paid on the spot. The next day, Maxwell came in remotely to update our software, claimed they needed to evaluate our current database, then says they do not recommend an update at this time. Our issue remains unsolved. I stand by my previous review - I do not recommend this software for a general contractor, possibly a great software for a smaller company completing single scopes of work - but not for a general contractor.
To date we have spent countless hours trying to get Maxwell working properly. We have had the software over a year and still speak with tech support at least weekly because of system "bugs" (their words - not mine). I would not recommend this for another General Contractor. Go with the old faithfuls. We are very unhappy.
Kevin from Spath Bros. LLC

Date: February 2013
I am a small to medium excavation contractor from Tennessee who purchased Maxwell's Quest MX software in 2009. Finally, after a couple of very slow years we felt the need to reacquaint ourselves with the system again after 3 years. However, I could not log on due to an error with my password and username. I called customer support to reset my password and I was shocked and disappointed they would not help me reset my password without being charged for a one time use of their technical service or pay for an annual subscription for assistance. I was told by an account manager there was nothing that could be done, but she would try to run it up the chain of command to see if they could make an exception. It would be a few days before I would hear back from her.
I would have completely understood if I were asking for assistance on the software or getting help with a take off or something like. I would think Maxwell would want me to actually use the software so I can accurately assess it's performance and application to my business.

Our company is a concrete and sitework contractor. We have been using the Quest system for many years. We find this software to be similiar in nature, but with faster and more precise and accurate results, all while making our take-offs paperless. We had a support tech come to our office for training, which was very helpful in making the transition. We are currently running version 2.8.6

ISES Corporation has been a Maxwell customer for several years now, and we have recently added another license to our system. This Solution allows us to estimate projects with more ease and efficiency, and also helps to track our projects more effectively. Also, we are able to speed up our process, which in turn, allows us to bid more work. Going paperless with this process has proven extremely beneficial to the streamlining and organization of our business. We highly recommend Maxwell Systems to any type of construction business.

CTS is a low voltage special systems contractor serving Arizona, Utah and New Mexico with 4 divisions (office locations). We are a rapidly growing company and needed a more robust accoutning system that provided the functionality and expansion that would allow for our growth. We also needed more integration between accounting, purchasing and estimating. Prior to converting to Maxwell ProContractor we were utilizing Quickbooks Enterprise Contractor Edition. This software had its limits which we had out grown over the years. We currently have over 100 employees. We recently went to ProContractor 2.8 a few months ago and have recenlty upgraded to 2.9. The implementation went very smooth which was assited by the grreat folks at Maxwell. We completed the implementation in 10 weeks going live on July 1st. The over all funcionality of the system is great. We have now integrated our estimating and purchasing into the accounting system saving valuable time. THe customer support at Maxwell is top notch. They have been very responsive to our concerns and needs. I would highly recommend this system to anyone looking for the integration the way we were.
Michael from Mike Sandoval Concrete Construction, Inc.

Date: October 2012
We are a Structural Concrete Contracting firm, performing approximately 90% public work and approximately 10% private work. In order for out company to survive in this extremely competitive business environment, and while concurrently providing competitive bids, it is absolutely essential to prepare and provide our organization with the most accurate material and labor cost breakdown possible. Although Excel was a great resource for calculating take-off information and summarizing it, there was always a margin for human error, e.g. missing a group of sub-totaled cells, having to transfer take-off date to Excel spreadsheets, etc. Not only that, but once the project was awarded there was the managing of RFI's, Change Orders, etc.; much too time consuming when you could spend that time being productive and growing your business, not to mention the possibility of losing track of unprocessed Change Orders, etc.
With strong and reliable "Post Purchase" customer support from Maxwell, our Pro Contractor MX 2.8 created a seamless transition to a whole new environment of manageability for our company. Having had previous experience with on-screen digital take-offs and estimates, our company was up and running in less than a week. Our Maxwell salesperson was instrumental in helping us navigate through the entire process of implementing their software. From the selection of available products to completing our first bid estimate, Maxwell was there to help us along the way. In our estimation - and with the exact same staff prior to purchasing Maxwell - we are on our way to at least 20/25% more production with more accurate results.

Before purchasing the "Estimator" software many years ago, i did extensive research on what was available at the time, tried everything available and found this to be the best for the price. Over the years of using it i have reviewed many new programs and still have found nothing better.
Being in the construction/development business we are often required to estimate the cost of a building from preliminary plans, usually nothing more than a floor plan and elevation. The estimator software make is possible for us to produce viable estimates for preliminary budgeting long before the plans are at a stage where hard-bids can be procured.
The customer support from the sales rep to the technical support has been a pleasure to deal with. Any issues were quickly and easily resolved.

July 19th, 2014
I'll admit, when I grabbed Evofish from the eShop, I was excited. I remember playing a game in my elementary school's computer lab that involved creating a fish and trying to survive in the Great Barrier Reef with it, earning points to "evolve" your fish, making it faster, bigger, or even giving it poisonous barbs or ink sacs to escape predators. Naturally, as I was waiting for Evofish to download, I was expecting that game from my early childhood, and once I finally played the game, I found it to be very similar, albeit with a different, and more simplistic, set of game mechanics involved.
Evofish throws you into the game as a tadpole-looking creature, and it is your goal to eat all of the fish smaller than you, while fleeing from the fish that are bigger than you. The first time that you play, with each evolution (there are twelve that you must complete to unlock the next fish to play as) a new power-up is revealed for you to use, with a total of nine power-ups to choose from. The catch is that these power-ups are expendable, and in order to attain more, you must either find and pick them up while playing (at which point they are used immediately), or buy them in the EvoShop, once you realize it is there.
The gameplay is as simple as moving around an enclosed environment with the left analog stick, and this works fluidly. The trouble comes when trying to pick a power-up to use from your inventory, which is located on the game pad's touch screen; having to look down to remember where your health power-up is when you're cornered in the game could spell the end for you. The developers must have realized this, however, as they added the ability to hot-key a power up each to ZL and ZR, but this still requires focusing on the GamePad's screen while trying to survive on your TV, making the power-ups rather risky to use.
There are three multiplayer modes, as well, which might be fun at parties, if your friends are interested enough to try the game (mine weren't, so my experience with this mode is limited). The first mode is 1 vs. 4, in which up to four players with Wii-motes take on the player with the GamePad; the GamePad player must eat smaller fish to grow, while the other four players grow over time simply by not being eaten by the first player. The second game mode is last fish standing [standing?? -ed], in which all players follow the same rules as single player, except that if a player dies, then they are out. The third mode is called God of Swarm. This mode flips 1 vs. 4 on its head, in that the player with the GamePad controls all of the bigger fish to try to take out the players before they can evolve.
At the very least, the graphics of Evofish are entertaining, and the ripple-effect of the water is crisp and well done. The music is not bad, but sounds a lot like music you would hear on the Weather Channel. Honestly, aside from what I've already stated, the only other thing that this game suffers from is a distinct lack of content; The map is always the same, the music is always the same, the enemies are always the same... If they added more variety in any of these categories, then I would be much more likely to come back to it.

Spencer Pratt Rap Song: First, Hilarious Listen!by Free Britney at . Comments
You know if Spencer Pratt doesn't want something released that will get him publicity, it must be beyond bad. His rap song, "Ain't No Thang," certainly qualifies.
Details are fuzzy, but the rumor is that Spencer recorded it at an L.A. studio last year, but was so embarrassed he never wanted it to see the light of day.
Luckily for us, he did not get his wish as it leaked this morning.
"Ain't No Thang" is an ode to chicken wings (we guess) and other nonsense that must be heard to be believed. Have a tissue handy, you may cry laughing ...
It's official. Spencer is officially worse at rapping than Heidi Montag is at improving her appearance. Both just keep setting the bar lower and lower.
"Ain't No Thang"...?!? Who does he think he is, African-American? This is officially the worst thing ever.
Oh and Spencer and his bubblehead plastic wife of his do not have day jobs so there is nothing to quite. I think they are trying to find a day job but this is not it.
WOW Genine, you are cutting it too close to say that Kim's crapy "Tardy for the party" song is better than this one. Yikes they are and Miley's song all suck!! They all need to stop singing!
Even though this is comical, it is MUCH better than that Atlanta Housewife's song, "Tardy for the Party!" And, actually better than Miley Cyrus, whose off-key whining is the most annoying thing ever recorded! Still, I hope they don't quit their "day jobs"
Please someone give this asswipe sum "Doe" so he will shut the hell up!!!!!
Yea having Kim think she can sing is a good one!! I especailly like the hair!!
i forgot to put SING!!!after actually
Seriously now a days EVERYONE thinks they can actually.....lets see,justin b., kim k.,and now him.....o_0
What a LOOSER!! Try again DOUCHE BAG!!
that might just be my new favorite song LOL :)

Written by:
Warsaw, Poland, 20 November 2013: Globally, more than one trillion dollars a year is invested in energy systems. This excessive dependence on fossil fuel-based energy - 85% of primary energy- is a major contributor to global warming and climate change. Global energy use is expected to grow by 36 per cent by 2035 - with non OEDC countries accounting for almost all of the increase - and based on current trends 15 per cent of the world's will still access in 2030. Therefore, we cannot afford business as usual.
Market and current trends confirm that a transition has begun. In just eight years since 2005, the number of countries with clean energy target nearly tripled from 48 to 138, half of which are set by developing countries. Yet, myths and misunderstanding still abound.
To dispel these myths, and provide facts, UNEP launched two new publications today.

Southern African Literatures (Paperback)
|Paperback 550 pages
Not in stock
Usually despatched in 2-3 weeks
Delivered FREE
in the UK
"Southern African Literatures" is a major study of the work of writers from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Angola, Mozambique, and Namibia, written at a time of crucial change in the subcontinent. It covers a wide range of work, from the storytelling of stone-age Bushmen to modern writing by figures. The author argues that literary history in the southern African region is best based on a comparative method which, while respecting differences of language, race and social circumstance, seeks cultural interchange including 'translations' of experience across linguistic and ethnic borders. Instead of perpetuating division, the study examines points of common reference, as it asks what makes a literary culture. Who are to be regarded as major and minor authors? What are the strengths and limitations of local and international perspectives? Should literature in today's southern Africa be confined to the art forms of poems, plays, and fiction?

Critics and Doubters
Our church is familiar with being a safe environment for folks to wrestle with belief and faith, a community where doubts and questions are always welcomed and even encouraged. We're comfortable with that. But what about when the questions and doubts are aimed at our church, or at each other? Given the challenges and changes our congregation is facing, it's not surprising that some folks are a bit skeptical of what's going on. Here's my response:

Reading to the Dogs & Cat
Reading to the Cat and Dogs! and Reading to the Dogs!
At the West Lafayette Public Library, we are very fortunate to have members of two different therapy animal organizations bring their registered therapy animals to the library about 9 or 10 times a year. Children reserve a 15 minute time period for reading to the therapy animals. They may check out books at the library to read or bring favorite books from home. The reading dates are announced on the children's web page, in the children's department newsletter, and on posters in the children's department. At the end of the reading session, families with children who are not yet reading are welcome to visit the animals and talk to their partners. When people first hear about reading to therapy animals, their usual response is "Why would anyone want to read to a dog?" or "Do the dogs really listen?" The members of the Caring Paws organizations believe that dogs have a calming effect on most children and have helped children improve their read-a-loud skills.
Therapy animals have been coming to the WLPL for 8 years. The children's department is very happy to sponsor this popular program and appreciates greatly the people who volunteer time to bring their much-loved pets to the library. The animals come about 9 times a year. Please check the events section of the children's web site to learn when the next visit will be.
About Caring Paws
Caring Paws is a non-profit, volunteer organization based in the Greater Lafayette area. Caring Paws members visit nursing homes, retirement centers, schools, hospitals, and libraries seeking trained and registered therapy animals to interact with their patients, residents, and students.
All Caring Paws volunteer teams have been evaluated by a major national animal therapy organization, Pet Partners (formerly Delta Society). With a registered therapy animal, a facility can be assured of a visit from a pet and partner who will provide a safe and enjoyable experience.
The teams that are insured by Pet Partners present the "Reading to the Cat and Dogs!" programs. Some of the animals who visit the library are the cat, Grizzley, and the dogs Breeze, Calvin, Neville, and Sydney.
For more information, please contact the Caring Paws web site: www.caring-paws.org or the Pet Partners site: www.petpartners.org
All therapy animals are current on vaccinations and insured by the groups.
Therapy Dogs International (TDI)
Therapy Dogs International (TDI) was formed in 1976 in New Jersey so that dogs could be certified, insured and registered as volunteer Therapy Dogs. All registered dogs have been tested for therapy dog work by certified TDI evaluators and are current on vaccinations. While many dogs provide companionship in the home, not all dogs are qualified or have the temperament suited to be a therapy dog.
At the WLPL, our program is publicized as "Reading to the Dogs." Some of the dogs who visit the library are Daisy, Champ, Frankie, Java, Jill, & Sugar. TDI members also present a program on dog safety about once a year, as a service to our community.

No, Eminiar Seven wasn't being force to join, but the Federation apparently wasn't above employing force to get Eminiar Seven to let them in.
But that could just be Fox talking tough. For all we know his actually instructions were more like
"Ambassador Fox, the Federation Council has decided it would like a Treaty Port in the Eminiar system go and negotiate a mutally beneficial treaty that will permit one"
That seems very likely. Fox is obviously a blowhard with a tendency to exaggerate. He does it pretty much every time he speaks at all.

Virus warning?
10 months ago
Correct me if I'm wrong but the "Smartguard Protection" virus might be
lurking on "Gordy's Cameras Straps" website.
A pop-up window asks you to upgrade an Adobe programe and then you
have it on your computer the "Smartguard Protection" virus.
Would someone like to verify this for all of us?

Nike Sportswear "Bamboo Safari" Pack – Release Date by Darren Griffin 5 Comments
for women?
March 29, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 2
The latest Nike Air Max 90 GS colorway is all at once quite similar to and different from the original 'Laser Pink' ladies release that last retroed in 2010. Experienced sneakerheads will instantly notice the similarities in color and blocking, but this pair's Prime Platinum upper is a clear change. That color along with Digital Pink and Hyper Blue are all colors too new to have appeared on the OG AM90s, but still manage to get across the energetic vibes from its era of origin. Sizes only run up to US 6Y, but those who can fit these will be very pleased about their purchase from shops like Titolo.

Hey everyone,
So I'm designing a Pokemon Trainer cosplay and I'm not sure where the badges go. Like, in the Anime I know that Ash carries his on the inside of his jacket, but its a female cosplay without any such jacket. Do they usually just carry them around in a case or something? Or stick them whereever?
Thank you!

Among the videos going viral this week is a low-resolution clip of what appears to be an Air France Airbus A380 clipping a Comair regional jet during its taxi at New York Kennedy.
According to a report in USA Today, both planes were carrying crew and passengers at the time of the sideswipe, but the FAA said no injuries were reported.
You can see from the video how enormous the A380 is, especially compared with the regional jet -- which is spun practically 90 degrees after the superjumbo's wing clips the smaller plane's tail.

Another chapter in my Star Wars OC saga. Set after "Starla Adrift."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Starla Winter wondered why Andis Meyer had called her to his hometown of Solykad, Mandalore. The Clone Wars raged on, after more than a year. She was tired of it all. She just wanted to rest for a few days, and she missed time alone with Andis. She stretched out on the warm, comfortable bed in Andis' house as the morning sunlight hit her body. She missed him so much. He was such a gentleman, yet such a mastermind military leader and ruthless warrior. She grinned to herself. She couldn't wait to see him again.
She got dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, and made some caf and toast. Starla then took a walk along the beach at Lake Ralin, feeling at peace for the first time in a long time. She approached the secret little cove that Andis had taken her to many times, a favorite place to embrace under the alluring light of Concordia, Mandalore's moon.
Starla sat down on the water's edge, letting the gentle waves tickle her toes. She dreamed of Andis' touch, his kiss, his wicked grin just for her. She sent her love out to him in the Force, hoping he would feel it. She was about to get up and walk back to the house, when a dazzling gemstone appeared before her, floating and glistening.
Then she felt his presence, and smiled. "Andis Meyer! Su cuy'gar! Show yourself right now," she laughed. Then she looked around for him. He was an expert at invisibility cloaking, and he appeared right behind her and grabbed her shebs. She giggled. This was a fun little game.
"Gedet'ye, Andis! I've missed you, darling," Starla whispered to the air.
Andis whispered into her ear, "I've missed you too, cyar'ika," then he appeared before her. He put his arms around her and they kissed passionately for a while. He knew it was time.
A magnificent band he handcrafted from beskar materialized, and he whispered, "Starla, Mhi solus tome, mhi solus dar'tome, mhi me'dinui an, mhi ba'juri verde. Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum."
