If there was any question about the Robots in Disguise coming to the big screen these two links (also from Rangerboard, taken at the Licensing 2005 show in New York) should quell all doubts.
Speaking of the Licensing 2005 show, Rangerboard also has a first look at the Spirit of Vengeance in all his glory.
With the mildest of spoilers, the International Herald Tribune is reporting that "In a rare concession, authorities here agreed to close down all of Whitehall, between Trafalgar and Parliament Squares, for a three-night film shoot earlier this month." This was for the climactic scene of the film, which follows the original story.
Rangerboard also has a picture from the new cartoon broadcasting from the Baxter Building. Meanwhile, Sneak Peek has posted some spoileresque pages from the comic adaptation of the film.
Finally, Comics Continuum talked to special effects supervisor Kurt Williams about making the Human Torch effects look believable. "There's not a lot of man on fire references out there - at least that are very impressive right now -- and that's part of the reason we're very nervous about this work," Williams said. "But at the same time we're creating him in such a way -- we're using real fire elements, and that's important. He's got to generate fire from within his body, so you're going to see the skin on his body change as he's generating that fire, and that's going to create an organic feel that will make the audience believe that he's really on fire. he other thing that we're very cognizant of, and we're going to be dealing with in this movie, is that a lot of time, a great deal takes place in exterior. And doing day exterior fire is really hard because you don't see people. And a lot of times, the mistake that people make is that they don't stay true to the actual environment. They make the fire a little more saturated than it actually would be, if we were shooting flames. We've gone to great lengths to stay true to what actual fire would look like if we were shooting in those scenarios."
The Blue Tights Network also checked out the Licensing 2005 trade show and did an extensive report on what they saw and the studio's plan for making the film dominate popular culture, as well as tossing in an image gallery to boot.
According to XMenFilms.net, "X3 director Brett Ratner has hired the highly rated Philippe Rousselot as director of photography (aka cinematographer) for 'X3.'" Rousselot is fresh off of stints on "Constantine" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Shooting starts August 2nd.
Actress Erica Durance has been announced as a guest at the Canadian National Expo this August in Toronto.

You can choose an alias if you'd like, or be mentioned by name -- we honor requests for anonymity.

Livia Diacencu
I like the mixture between science and practice, between what is in the books and what is in reality. I appreciate very much that the professors are all businessmen and they test everyday this difference between books and reality. I also like very much that we are students both from America and Romania and we can share and see the others' experiences and difficulties in their jobs. This is a very good way to learn the real way of making business from two different parts in the world.
Bucur Ioana-MadalinaAssistant Manager
I recently began the DeSales MBA program in Bucharest and I am very pleased with it. The classes are very interesting and demand serious and thorough studies. The teachers are well prepared, and through their attitude they challenge you to reach to a point of view of your own. What is more, they are friendly and always ready to help. For this reasons I recommend this program to anyone interested in a MBA program.
Catalina Manolescu
When I decided to search for an MBA program in Romania I was very happy to see that a new one had been launched, and moreover, that it was centered on Project Management, specialization that was missing on our market.
I found the program very well balanced in terms of theory and ability building; individual and group assignments, although quite demanding, helped to better internalize the concepts.
Also, working in mixed groups (US and Romanian students) put us in the real life situation of dealing with multiple cultural approaches in the same team/organization.
Mircea D. MarcuSTRABAG SRL - Direktion NTIndustriebauProject Manager
What I found within DeSales PM/MBA program is high quality of knowledge and teachers, as well as inspiring method that resonate to my needs in the business environment. Superior understanding, and expectations of meeting top experience and efforts towards improving people's education and social life by understanding nowadays international values and challenges.
Ana Nutu
Firstly, I would like to state that I have just joined the DeSales MBA Program in Project Management. Secondly, what I can say about the program is that I feel honored to have been accepted and to benefit of an exceptional educational environment.
I grew up in a small city near by Bucharest, where I attended primary and secondary school. Living there gave rise to my dream of living in a metropolis where I could have more opportunities and challenges and where I could accomplish the desire of climbing the career ladder. Now I want more. I want to experience new fields, different cultures and meet new and interesting people. I want to provoke myself and to receive this great opportunity of learning from people coming from a coherent economic system and also a strong educational system. These are the reasons for choosing DeSales University and the Project Management program, and I know for sure that this MBA will definitely change my thinking in way for me to become a great leader.
Another reason for choosing MBA Program in Bucharest is that it fits easily with my professional and personal time, with the help of its online programs of study and activities.
In conclusion, I find this MBA Program to be valuable and demanding, having supportive and professional teachers who have deep business experience and from who I have great things to learn. So I sincerely recommend DeSales MBA Program from Bucharest for all of those who desire to have an interesting and serious study in Project Management.

I had the brainstorm of using white beans and Italian-style flavors a couple weeks ago and this is what I came up with!
1 can white beans (I used organic Northern beans...but my first thought was for cannelini) mashed up
2 T parmesan cheese
1 T pureed sun-dried tomatoes (or tomato paste)
1/4-1/2 t each dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder (however much you like)
1 egg, scrambled
1 cup panko bread crumbs (enough to get the right consistency for making patties)
Mix everything together, form patties and cook each side about 3-4 minutes
I put these lovelies on toasted onion rolls with lettuce and tomato.
P.S. Fresh basil and oregano would be amazing in these...remember to double the amount when using fresh.

Happy Valentine's Day! It's the most romantic day of the year (at least, if you've been listening to the endless advertising), and we hope you've made your plans, movie-related or otherwise (we'd argue that nothing says Valentine's Day like the twists and sexual politics of "Side Effects," but other options are available...). Now, February 14th is about many things: wining, dining, flowers, cards, chocolate, declarations of undying love. But all being well, it's about something else too: knocking boots.
Yep, sex is as much part of Valentine's Day as love and romance, even if Hallmark aren't quite so keen to push that side of things. The history of the cinematic sex scene is a decidedly spotty one; just as it's tricky to write a convincing literary coupling, it's easy for movies to descend into cliche and unintentional comedy when it's time for their characters to make the beast with two backs. So, in honor of all those getting laid tonight -- and to give those of you who are single something to do -- we present a brief history of the movie sex scene, with a somewhat random selection of ten of our favorites, and ten of what we consider to be the very worst. Let us know your own favorites (and not-so-favorites) in the comments section below. Oh, and everything that follows is pretty much NSFW, obviously.
The Best
Unquestionably one of the single greatest ever committed to film, "Don't Look Now" somehow managed to reinvent the sex scene in a way that only few have dared try (Steven Soderbergh being one of them, but more on that in a minute). What makes the "Don't Look Now" sex scene so hot and so damn brilliant, is that director Nicolas Roeg cuts up the action, and this chronological unmooring actually adds to the sensuality and emotional weight of the moment. Yes, we get to see Donald Sutherland (and his argyle socks) and a lithe Julie Christie getting to know each other in the biblical sense, but interspersed with that we also see them getting ready to leave their apartment, so while they're writhing around naked they're also putting on their jewelry and adjusting their blazers. The sequence is disorienting and amazing, with sexiness to spare. It was so sexy, in fact, that several seconds had to be clipped from the domestic release to secure an R rating. Those cuts have been reinstated for the now out-of-print DVD release, which for some reason still carries the R. Rumors have persisted that the scene was not simulated, and watching it now, you can understand why many thought it was the real deal.
You could argue, in a way, that David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" is almost entirely a sex scene -- a fevered, guilt-ridden masturbation fantasy as Naomi Watts' failed actress Diana mourns the woman that she's in love with, who she's hired a hitman to murder. But regardless of your interpretation of the film, there's one rather more straightforward sex scene that marks among the most memorable of recent years. It takes place as Watts' Betty and the amnesiac Rita, hiding out in the apartment of a dead woman, finally consummate their passion. It's unashamedly titillating stuff (though chaste in comparison to some similar scenes), but, as with so much about the film, it's Watts that elevates it. Her nervousness and uncertainty ("Have you ever done this before?"), and almost unwillingness to believe her own luck, makes it not just sexy, but downright romantic. And by the time they've gone through the rabbit hole at Club Silencio, there's a retrospective pain to the scene, knowing that Betty/Diana is remembering, or fantasizing about, better times with the woman she's just had murdered.
Few filmmakers in contemporary cinema know how to use sex more effectively than David Cronenberg, and few actresses have mastered the form like Maria Bello (her scene with William H. Macy in "The Cooler" is another classic). So it's no surprise that the two scenes in "A History Of Violence" are textbook examples of how to use sex scenes to show character and tell story, rather than to stop audiences from falling asleep. Early in the film, Bello's Edie Stall dresses up as a cheerleader for her husband Tom (Viggo Mortensen), and the two make out like hungry teenagers, culminating in what must be the first mainstream cinema depiction of a 69. It's an important scene (and a strangely charming one; see the bug-eyed excitement in Mortensen's eyes, and the way Bello laughs as she pulls off her belt) in that it shows how deeply in love the pair are. But it also serves as a contrast to the later scene. Tom has confessed to his wife that he's really mobster-on-the-run Joey Cusack, and the pair fight in the staircase of their home, an argument that turns violent, and suddenly sexual, as it appears that Tom/Joey, now off the chain, is going to rape his wife. Suddenly, he stops, but then she urges him to continue, the two desperately fucking on the stairs with a passion that is markedly different from the comfortable, romantic sex of the earlier scene. A sequence such as this is always going to require walking a fine line (see: "Straw Dogs"), but the performances are so perfect, and the direction so finely judged, that Cronenberg pulls it off.
Sex and disability have been back in the headlines of late thanks to "The Sessions," but for all the strengths of that film, it's never quite as memorable as this classic scene from Hal Ashby's 1978 Oscar-winner "Coming Home." After a certain amount of dancing around each other, as it were, conservative military wife Sally (Jane Fonda) and paraplegic vet Luke (Jon Voight) finally go to bed together. He's been consigned to a wheelchair after being wounded in 'Nam, but they work it out, Luke giving Sally her first ever orgasm by going down on her (which, if it's a rarity in cinematic sex scenes now, was even more so then). Haskell Wexler's camera lingers on the intimate touches between the pair, and on Fonda's face as she comes, giving it a real tenderness, while refusing to ignore the scars on Voigt's back. It's just about as sexy as anything that's ever been put on screen, and one of the more memorable scenes in a tremendous film (released, coincidentally, thirty-five years ago tomorrow).
Borrowing from Nicolas Roeg's uncanny "Don't Look Now" sex scene (see above), director Steven Soderbergh rearranges the order of this sex scene between George Clooney (as an escaped bank robber) and Jennifer Lopez (as the federal agent tasked with chasing him down). We seem them getting to know each other at a cheesy hotel bar, in a kind of elaborate role-playing game, and at the same time we see them getting frisky, with both stars getting down to their skivvies. Even if it is a riff on something else, it's clever and supernaturally sexy, aided by the slinky electronic score by David Holmes and the lush cinematography (the snow falling outside their hotel room window is a nice flourish). The sequence works so well because Soderbergh has an academic understanding of what made the Roeg sequence so powerful; it isn't just a lazy photocopy, it's its own thing – a living, breathing, totally sexy thing. The fact that it features two giant movie stars at the peak of their respective handsomeness is just an added bonus. This is an homage that has just as much of an impact as the original.

I got 14-88 & bec. my real hair is short, I also used a new ombre extension piece on the bottom of my head & put this piece higher up on my head!
Pros:lightweight, doesn't frizz or flop in humid weather, easy to apply, you don't need to have much skill to use this, so it is a great starter piece!

Skeptical at first
August 17, 2012
I bought both the straight and the wavy clip-in hair extension in color 33 (dark auburn). I have a set of human hair extensions that consist of 8 clip-ins and it is too tedious to put them on. So, I don't wear them often. After reading all the positive reviews about these synthetic one-piece extensions, I thought I would give it a try as a more convenient way to add length and volume to my own shoulder length hair. Standard shipping was fast and I received them in two days! However, when I took them out of the box I didn't think the hair color/texture seemed right for me. Even my husband said it didn't match my hair when I held the piece up to my head. I decided I would go ahead and try styling my hair and putting the piece in anyway. I started with the wavy piece first and once my hair was styled and I added the extension, it blended flawlessly with my own hair and looked amazing!! Even my husband couldn't believe it. He thought I was wearing the 8 piece set. When I tried the straight extension, I didn't think it blended as well as the wavy one, but I have thick hair. If your hair is in the thinner side, it will probably work well. I would still recommend this clip-in. It is so easy to put on ... takes about 5 seconds!
Pros:So easy to put on ... takes about 5 seconds!
Cons:Synthetic. Be careful with hot tools once you put it on. I melted a section of the hair accidentally with my flat iron.

Very nice for the money
August 13, 2012
This is the first time wearing extensions. My hair has thinned out do to medicines and I wanted to make it fuller. A few practices and it looked great. I did have to put it mid way around my head and because of that it doesn't fit. They should make them in sizes for your head size. The best way to cover the piece is to pull back some of your side hair. Color matches perfect.
Pros:natural looking easy to put in color matches
Cons:Tangles easily too big for head size Can be hot in hot climates

I have short hair (bob cut) and This has been the best investment I have made! It's great to change your look dramatically and having this piece has made me get so many compliments! I first wore it to a wedding and no one knew that it wasn't my real hair! The color I got was the dark brown, and it blends in really nicely...even though i want to change to black and probably grab a black piece as well. Regardless, if your looking to change your look, go from short hair to a nice longer length, then this is the best deal! It's easy , one piece, looks great, stays put all day, and easy to manage! I use the leave in conditioner to make it look nice every time I wear it and wash it after about 5 uses.
Pros:Ease of Use 1 piece Not heavy Looks real

Awesome! Really fills out my thin hair!
May 2, 2012
I have hair that reaches to my bra strap line. However, my hair is very fine and gets finer and thinner with age. I don't clip the natural hair underneath the extension flat to my head as is indicated in the instructions. My natural hair is an almost exact match to the extension and so some of the natural hair peeking out actually helps the appearance. I have some subtle layers in my natural hair and the extension has layers also so the final effect is one of full layered hair. I do not clip down the bottom clips - only the top three. I have received many compliments on how nice my hair looks (even my mother and sister couldn't tell it wasn't really my hair). I worried that the different textures of my natural hair and the extension wouldn't blend, but it seems to work great even though my natural hair is finer than the extension. I should mention that I do flat-iron the top layer of my natural hair to give it a smoother appearance (closer to the extension smoothness) before I attach the extension. I love it. I now have three of these. My color is R6/30H.

The shipping was very quick. The item is brand new. This is my second hairdo by Jessica Simpson. My first one is a darker color. I loved that one. I purchased this one because my haircolor has changed, I have highlights in my hair now. I have straight hair so this extension is perfect. I love this hair extension! The name includes "extensions", but it is actually one piece that goes around the back of your head from ear to ear, It is so easy to use and looks natural.

Tangles easy, but looks great!
August 14, 2011
Once I can position the extension properly on the back of my head (I have a small head so have to postition it high) it looks great!!! Gives me volume and makes my hair about 3-4 inches longer. It does tangle easy and wish it didn't but I just keep a small comb with me to untangle it when needed. BUT otherwise, I love it and look forward to wearing it more, but saving it for girls night out, etc. :)
Pros:Looks and feels real, gives volume, looks great!
Cons:Tangles easy and a lil too big for my small head. Wish that there was options for a smaller fitting wig.

After looking into extentions at my salon I decided I wanted to try the clip in version before committing to the more intense glue in/sew in variety. I got these in the R8/25 22" straight clip in from your website. My order arrived 2 DAYS after it was placed. I LOVE how the extentions look and feel. They were really easy to put in and I love the fact that I can take them out to sleep or when I don't feel like wearing them. I am completely hooked. The price your website offered was the lowest I could find anywhere and beat the heck out of the $230 my salon was goning to charge for extentions. This product is easy o use, a great value and a perfect 10 in my book. Thanks so much for offering affordable, beautiful products. I'll be back for more and reccommend to everyone who complments my beautiful new look:)
Pros:Cost, ease of use, fast shipping

Looks very chic and stylish! looks totally natural, feels great!!

Jessica Simpson's Hair Pieces
March 29, 2011
I have bought a total of 4 hair pieces from Jessica's line, and LOVED them all except one. The wavy one I bought recently I wasn't as happy with. Now I had purchased this one 3 years ago and had NO problems with it. But this one may just have been a dud in the batch. Most of it was wavy but on one side, some of the curls looked like the wave didn't take?? and it so it was more straight with a tiny bit of curl in it. I wish I hadn't thrown away the packaging so soon because I would have returned it, but I had been so pleased with the straight pieces and the other wavy piece I bought those years back, that I didn't think I'd have reason to return it. Just make sure you check it fully, put it on, test it, etc. . .before you throw away all the packaging.
Pros:LOVE the straight clip in. I look absolutely beautiful in it. The color matched perfectly and in addition to making my hair look longer, it adds so much volume.
Cons:Not so happy about the wavy one I just purchased. Some of the hair on this particular one didn't take the waviness so it looks uneven and very "ratty."

I just got my extensions today and I am totally amazed at how perfect they match my hair color! I was really nervous that they wouldn't match and then they'd look super fake, because I chose the color from my computer screen and didn't see them in person till after I bought them. But wow. They are awesome.

Not impressed
January 23, 2011
Though I hhave had several compliments and everyone thought that this was my realy hair, I am not satisified with this piece. I have owned this for about a month and the ends are already frayed. The hair tangles constantly. I condition it frequently, but this does not help. I am not pleased with quality of the hair. The net is too big for my head and is very loose. The clips are very uncomfortable and really hurt by the end of the day. It is very obvious where my hair ends the extensions begin. I will definitely be going with a full wig next time to avoid this problem.
Pros:Everyone thought that the hair piece was my real hair.
Cons:Uncomfortable Tangles very easily and the ends are frayed Too big for my head size

Looks Fake
August 11, 2010
Easy to use, not too shiny BUT...you can tell where my hair ends and the extensions go on, I know my hair color is a little off, but that's not the point; even if it matched perfectly you could still tell I had extensions on. If I would buy them again, I'd buy them at a shorter length Oh--but buy the bangs! I have those on in the pic provided. They get 4 stars.
Merchant Response:What you need to do is pin back your the bottom portion of your hair and tuck it into the basket piece and it will blend perfectly.

Pros:Super easy application, great colors, love the layers.

I am a belly dancer and am the only member of my troupe with short hair. I'm am in the long and painful process of growing it out, but needed something to help me through the hardest parts. I didn't want to wear a wig since they're so hot and I would already be hot and sweaty from dancing. Plus I didn't want to run the risk of losing my wig during a performance! I found this product with a google search and it is exactly what I wanted! I love it! I was able to pop it in my hair as soon as I opened the package!! It's comfortable, easy to use, and holds very very well. I was happy with the R6 color, but I think I could have gone one shade darker. No big deal though. I think it's fantastic! I was even excited about the HairDo Bangs that were a gift with purchace (see my other review on that product page). Wearing the 2 pieces together helps my own short hair to blend better. Wow!!!
Pros:easy to use, quick to put on, lightweight, feels like real hair
Cons:I wish the piece was slightly longer on the sides over my ears

I received these in the mail today and they are simply amazing. I was a little apprehensive after seeing some reviews on other websites and how they looked on other people (and also about them being synthetic), but I was pleasantly surprised. They are very secure and look completely natural. I was also lucky enough to get a perfect match for my color. Will definitely be ordering more from the hairdo line. These turned my chin-length asymmetrical cut into long, soft, voluminous, below the shoulder hair. I can't get over how great they look!! Shipping was also fast as always. Thank you thank you thank you!!
Pros:Soft, easy to clip in, voluminous, blend nicely, natural looking, secure, lightweight.
Cons:None known yet! Hopefully they'll stay nice for a while!

It is of good quality, but I made the mistake of ordering the R6 which is too light for me and I should have gone with the R4.

My hair was down to my waist before and I decided to chop it off recently. I TOTALLY regretted it. I didn't want to spend an insane amount on getting real extensions since I've never used them before. I decided this would be a good trial before I decided to do something more permanent. The results are amazing!! I can't even really tell the difference between my own hair and the synthetic extensions. Since I've gotten these, my hair's grown out more and blends even better now. I'm getting used to my shorter hair and like the option of being able to remove the extensions for when I want to go with my short hair now. I think I'm going to save up for the human hair extensions so I can wear them more often. I'm sure they'll be totally worth it.

CIT will continue to update this web page with additional FAQs and training materials as we move forward developing the portal.
What is the portal?
The Calvin portal is now the comprehensive site for all of your Calvin online accounts and services! The portal launched in May, 2011 and its initial purpose was to replace the Resources tab that was in KnightVision in order for students, faculty, and staff to access online services such as time cards, pay advices, academic information (transcripts, academic evaluation reports, grades), and registering for classes. The portal also replaces some of the functions of the Community tab such as the e-Deals, ride boards, and lost/found discussion boards.
The portal offers exciting features that we have begun developing for future use, such as team sites and SharePoint integration.
The portal features a single sign-on connection to Moodle and other resources like time card entry, viewing your pay stub, and registering your vehicle. This means that once you are logged into the portal, you will not need to log in a second time to access these services. We will be implementing single sign-on for additional services as the summer progresses.
Moodle is now Calvin's learning management system (LMS). All online course materials are available exclusively in Moodle.
Who can use the portal?
The portal is available for the following groups:
- Admitted students who have paid their deposit
- Students
- Faculty
- Staff
- Board of Trustees
More information on who has access to which IT services
Not all staff have portal access by default. If you are having difficulty accessing your time card, please check with your supervisor. There is a Resource page available for those who do not have portal access.
How do I access the portal?
You can access the Calvin portal from any computer by going to the website portal.calvin.edu.
On the login page, you will be able to choose between a public or private computer. If you are not sure which to choose, use the public login, which is the default. This option will automatically log you out of the portal when you close the web browser. The private login allows your session to be stored so that you can browse away from the portal and close your browser but not have to re-authenticate. The security settings on some browsers may override this.
Your portal username is your Calvin username that you use for all other IT services (ex. jcc2).
Your portal passphrase is your Calvin passphrase. You can set or change your password here.

Complete Release in PDF Format
The Opening Tip: The Bulldogs open the University of Miami Thanksgiving Tournament on Friday (Nov. 23) in Coral Gables, Fla., when they take on Monmouth beginning at 5:00 p.m. at the BankUnited Center. Butler will be playing for its third win in four games to open the season.
Previewing The Bulldogs: Butler heads into the Miami Thanksgiving Tournament with a 2-1 record on the year after falling at No. 23 Purdue on Nov. 17. The Bulldogs have been turning to the play of their post players to drive the offense in 2007-08 after finishing second in the NCAA Division I with 8.4 three pointers made per game last year. Sophomore forward Susan Lester and junior center Lade Akande have been the top scoring threats on the team, with Lester pacing the squad with 12.7 points per game and Akande averaging 12.0 per contest. Junior guard Candace Jones has been a force on the perimeter, averaging 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds, while freshman guard Brittany Bowen has been strong in the first three games of her collegiate career, averaging 7.3 points and 4.3 boards. Junior forward Tara Miller leads the team with 3.7 assists per game and has added 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds. Senior forwards and co-captains Candace Bain and Cassie Freeman bring leadership to the floor and add a consistent scoring from outside and rebounding down low. Sophomore forward Melanie Thornton provides a quick and athletic presence at the post, while junior guard Candyce Brown brings strong defensive prowess on the perimeter. Rookie forwards Chloe Hamilton, Amie Kabara and Jenny Ostrom, as well as freshman guards Azjah Bass and Terra Burns, add depth.
A Look At The Hawks: Friday's match-up will be the first meeting between Butler and Monmouth, as well as the first game against a Northeast Conference foe for the Bulldogs in their 33-year history. The Hawks tout an 0-3 record on the season after falling to Villanova, 53-39, on Sunday (Nov. 18). Junior guard Marbely Montas leads the team with 9.7 points per game, while junior forward Jennifer Bender touts 7.7 boards per contest. Monmouth was picked to finish fifth in the 2007-08 NEC preseason poll after tying for fourth with a 10-8 league record and 17-12 overall mark in 2006-07.
Rally Falls Short As No. 23 Purdue Tops Bulldogs, 69-53: Fourteen second-half points by sophomore Susan Lester keyed a late come-from-behind attempt by the Bulldogs, but host No. 23 Purdue built up too large of a lead for Butler to overcome in claiming a 69-53 decision at Mackey Arena on Nov. 17. Trailing by 24 at 46-22 with just over 15 minutes to go in the second half, Butler put together a spirited 14-0 run over the ensuing four minutes to cut the deficit to 10 at 46-36. The Bulldogs could get no closer, however, as the Boilermakers reeled off eight-straight points and held no less than a 15-point margin in the final minutes.
A Big Second Effort: Butler never quit after falling behind early to a tough foe in Purdue on Nov. 17, and the stats bare out the resilient character of the team. The Bulldogs' 33 points scored in the second half against the Boilermakers were their most for the squad in any period so far this season. Butler also overcame some first half miscues with the basketball following the break, allowing just three second-period turnovers after falling victim to 13 in the opening stanza.
Making A Stand: A defensive stand, that is. The Bulldogs have been the best in the Horizon League this season when it comes to keeping opponents off the board, ranking first with only 57.7 points allowed per game and third with a .397 opponent field goal percentage.
Bow-en To No One: Freshman guard Brittany Bowen might have only three collegiate games under her belt, but she has been playing like a seasoned vet. The Columbus, Ind., native has started in all three contests this season, ranking third on the squad with 7.3 points per game and second with 4.3 rebounds. Her biggest performance came against some tough competition, as she went 4-for-7 from the field and 3-for-3 from beyond the arc for 11 points and added six rebounds at No. 23 Purdue on Nov. 17.
Centers Of Attention: The Bulldogs have been one of the best teams in the nation when it comes to shooting the three ever since head coach Beth Couture arrived at the Indianapolis campus, including a 2006-07 campaign that saw Butler rank second in the NCAA Division I with 8.4 treys per game. This season, however, the Bulldogs have seen a lot more action from inside the three-point arc, as sophomore forward Susan Lester and junior center Lade Akande have provided the bulk of the offense. Lester currently leads the squad with 12.7 points per game, while Akande is not far behind with 12.0 points to her credit.
...But Don't Think The Three Is Out: Just because the Bulldogs feature two of the best post players in the Horizon League doesn't mean they will be eliminating their bread-and-butter three-pointer completely. Butler is tied for third in the league with 6.0 three pointers made per game and is second with 62 attempts on the year. In fact, the Bulldogs' leading culprit for hitting the three has been none other than post player Susan Lester, who has totaled six.
Three-Point Defense: Adding to the effect of Butler's three-point attack this year has been its ability to keep their opponents from converting long range shots. The Bulldogs rank second in the league by holding their foes to a .250 three-point shooting percentage (7-for-28). In fact, Butler had allowed just two makes in the first two-and-a-half games of the season before yielding a 5-for-7 clip to the Boilermakers in the second half on Nov. 17.
Getting Her Chance: Junior Candace Jones has been one of the Bulldogs' top reserve guards during the last two seasons, coming off the bench in 49 of her 60 games played while serving as a back-up to two-time all-league player Jackie Closser. The graduation of Closser last season left Jones as the favorite to fill the starting spot, and the Indianapolis native has stepped up big for the Bulldogs, averaging 6.0 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 assists this season.
Charitable Work: Sophomore Susan Lester and junior Candace Jones have displayed nearly flawless marksmanship from the free throw line this season. Lester has drained 10-of-11 shots from the charity stripe for a .909 percentage, while Jones has hit 10-of-12 for a .833 mark. Lester's percentage is the third-best in the league, while Jones ranks eighth.
Getting There In A Hurry: Not too many Butler players have had better starts to their careers than Lade Akande. The Robinson, Ill. native was dominant on offense in her first season with the team in 2005-06, finishing with 470 points for the highest total in school history by a freshman. She continued that trend as one of the Bulldogs' top scorers last year, tallying 408 points for 878 in her first two seasons. After tallying 36 points in the Bulldogs' first three games this year, Akande now needs just 86 points to reach 1,000 and is on pace to become the first Butler player since Jennifer Marlow (1998-99) to reach the milestone before her senior season.
Butler Picked Third In Preseason Poll: The Bulldogs were picked to finish third in the Horizon League this season, according to the 2007-08 Horizon League Preseason Poll. Butler earned 238 points in the poll, including five first-place votes, and finished just 15 points behind first-place Milwaukee. The poll is voted on by the league's head coaches, sports information directors and media members.
Akande, Lester Named To Preseason Teams: Junior center Lade Akande and sophomore forward Susan Lester were both named to the 2007-08 Preseason All-Horizon League Teams. Akande earned a spot on the all-league first team, while Lester was tabbed to the all-league second team. Butler was the only school to have multiple players mentioned on the squads.
Butler Inks Two For 2008-09: Indiana high school standouts Devin Brierly and Kaley May each signed National Letters of Intent to attend Butler and play basketball beginning with the 2008-09 school year. Brierly, a 5-10 senior guard from Southwestern High School in Hanover, Ind., is a three-time all-conference and all-section team member and a two-time all-region team honoree. May, a 5-11 guard/forward from Avon (Ind.) High School, was twice named to the Hoosier Basketball Magazine All-State Team and was tabbed to the Indiana Junior All-Star Team.
An Upward Trend: The Bulldogs have steadily improved under the tutelage of head coach Beth Couture, and the 2006-07 season was the finest yet. The 16 wins gave the Bulldogs their highest single-season total since the 1998-99 squad finished at 17-11. Additionally, Butler's 11 wins in Horizon League play were the most during Couture's tenure, while the second-place finish was the highest final standing since the 1997-98 season.
...And The Wins Should Continue: Head coach Beth Couture recently signed a five-year contract extension to remain at the helm through the 2011-12 season. Couture has brought Butler full circle since taking the helm in 2002, going from a three-win season the year before her arrival to the program's first appearance in the Horizon League Championship game last season.
Next Up: Depending upon the outcome of the game
against Monmouth, Butler will take on either Fordham or host Miami
(Fla.) on Saturday (Nov. 24) at the BankUnited Center. A win would
pit the Bulldogs against the winner of the Fordham/Miami game at
7:00 p.m., while a loss sends Butler to face the other loser at
5:00 p.m.

My favorite outfits are when I don't think much about what I'm going to wear as I'm getting dressed. I pull out the first piece, put it on, then put on the next without considering anything about coordination. I usually end up with a look that incorporates a bunch of different things that most people wouldn't usually wear together. For example, this cute black vintage hat with the white flower would most likely be worn with a flirty sundress. And the strappy heels would look great with a nice little black or white, or yellow dress. Instead, I paired them with some baggy boyfriend style jeans. The pearly, dainty earrings would normally not make sense with this outfit either, but somehow, (at least to me) they fit with the hat. I guess sometimes, my favorite look is to look like an organized chaos. To not think about things I'm going to wear until the very end. My boyfriend always loves when I dress like that. He always notices and says, "Whoa. This is wild."

Just thought I'd remind people.
|Matty Member
Did you see the new episode with the martian green beetle?
|Matty Member
I did and was quite interested in how that's going to go.
He's made up for the show, so he could be anything they want. He says the Reach sent a scarab to Mars and he overpowered it but I wonder if it couldn't have overpowered him? Hmmm.
Guess we'll have to find out.

Since there's no season 3, it will probably be out later this year.

Debris Flows Near Buena Vista, Colorado
By Jeffery A. Coe, Jonathan W. Godt, and Rex L. Baum
WARNING: Provisional Report, Subject to Revision
A thunderstorm on the evening of Monday, July 22, 2002 caused debris flows in the canyons of Cottonwood Creek and Chalk Creek, west and southwest of Buena Vista, Colorado (fig. 1). All of the flows initiated on hillslopes underlain by decomposed granitic rocks. Along Cottonwood Creek, debris flows crossed Chaffee County Road 306 in eleven places and trapped several motorists (fig. 2). Joe Nelson of Chaffee County Road and Bridge Department (verbal commun. 2002) estimated that 20,000 m3 of mud was deposited on and near County Road 306 (fig. 3 and fig. 4).
The debris flows temporarily blocked or diverted Cottonwood Creek in four places (fig. 5). Many smaller debris flows did not reach the road. The same storm triggered a debris flow from the Chalk Cliffs that blocked County Road 162 about 1.5 km southwest of Mount Princeton Hot Springs (fig. 6 and fig. 7). A few smaller debris flows appear to have occurred on the Chalk Cliffs, farther to the west, but none reached County Road 162.
Heavy rain started about 6:00 p.m. A county employee (Clayton Ogden, verbal commun. 2002) and an area resident (Col. George Meaders, retired, verbal commun. 2002) both reported that the debris flows began to occur within 30 minutes after rain started falling. The Red Deer RAWS rain gauge, 2-3 km north of Cottonwood Creek (fig. 2) recorded 0.87 inches (22 mm) of rain between 6:00 and 7:00 p.m., with an additional 0.18 in. (5 mm) between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.
Field observations made on Thursday, July 25 above Cottonwood Creek indicate that the debris flows started as a result of erosion, rather than starting as small landslides. At some locations we observed evidence that the debris was eroded from the head of alluvial or talus fan deposits where storm water flowed from a bare rock channel onto the head of the fan (fig. 8). At other locations, we observed either single or coalescing rills at the head of a freshly incised channel that appeared to be the main source of the debris (fig. 9). For example, at a small debris flow above Cottonwood Creek, we observed an incised channel near the fan apex with feeder rills above it (fig. 10).
The debris-flow deposits along both Cottonwood Creek and Chalk Creek were composed of abundant fine gravel and coarse sand along with angular granite clasts and a few boulders of about 1 m in the longest dimension. Debris was deposited in both Cottonwood and Chalk Creeks and in a few places small, temporary ponds were formed.

3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment
A Father Still Grieving For Son Lost In Falklands
By DAVID EAMES
Manawatu Evening Standard
25 April 2002
A former Palmerston North Boys' High student killed in the Falklands War is to be honoured by the re-enactment of an ancient battle tradition.
Retired Pohangina farmer Major John Absolon will contribute a stone for a cairn to be erected at the Pangbourne Naval College in Berkshire, England, this year. In a tradition begun by ancient Celtic warriors, the cairn will commemorate those soldiers killed during the battle for the Falkland Islands in 1982.
In history, cairns were erected by soldiers on their way into battle. Those soldiers who survived would take their stones away with them. The stones left unclaimed formed a tribute to the dead.
Major Absolon's son Richard, a sniper with a British paratroop regiment, was killed in action on the Falklands in June 1982. He was 18.
Major Absolon, himself a veteran of 23 years in the British Army, attended Anzac Day services in Palmerston North today. He said it would be a time in which memories of his son were foremost in his mind.
"There's an old saying that, in peace, sons bury their fathers, and in war, fathers bury their sons. I can tell you which is the hardest, because I have done both."
With the exception of the parents of Private Leonard Manning, killed in action in East Timor, Major Absolon believes he has the sad distinction of being the only father in New Zealand on Anzac Day to mourn a son killed in action.
Richard is buried with his regiment at Aldershot, in England. About 250
British servicemen died in the Falklands War.
The Absolons came to New Zealand in 1972 and farmed at Marton. Following a family tradition, Richard returned to Britain to join the army in 1980.
Major Absolon has yet to select a stone, but when he does, it will be blessed at St Mary's Church in New Plymouth on June 16, a ceremony timed to coincide with a blessing of the site where the cairn will stand at Pangbourne.
Anyone who wishes to help Major Absolon deliver the stone can leave donations to the Richard Absolon Memorial Fund at any branch of WestpacTrust.

I am not in the habit of posting negativity on any forum (in fact this is the first time I have done this) but after an infurating two days trying to find the cause of non working usb midi devices, I have to make my feelings known.
the damned driver listed above IS the cause of this problem, and I feel Logitech should accept responsibilty for this and at least provide a fix that doesnt involve going through the registry with an axe.
This problem is also compounded by the fact that my particular Logitech webcam is built in to my laptop (its a dell) and I see a general washing of hands here when it comes to that.
I have looked at the threads (and there are a lot of them!) about this problem but I dont actually see anyone from Logitech providing a definitive, easy to follow answer to a known problem! The least that could be done is to provide a sticky about this.
Why the hell should I have to make a choice between using my USB midi devices and my webcam??????????
Please please please will someone restore my faith in human nature and provide me with a workable solution to this (and dont tell me there are too many hardware configs to provide one- the damned (one!) driver has screwed up enough systems as it is)
yours frustratedly
crossmoid sez -

"Bought in" stuff, hardware and software, is a common cause of grief. Both parties to the transition just love passing the buck.
Scanner makers, for example, often bundle software from people like Nuance, who then tell users to talk to the hardware maker. Sometimes, the final vendor really does a reasonable job of supporting thing. Visioneer, for example, isn't bad on that front.
While you have every reason to moan about Logitech, you should also pursue this issue at the Dell end. They are the people who created this combination. They will know more about the entrails of your PC than Logitech can hope to guess. So Dell should be more up on clashes between bits of kit that it cobbled together.
The other reason for chasing Dell is that they can shout louder at Logitech. If there are enough people like you with complaints, maybe Dell will go somewhere else when it next wants to pay a few cents for a webcam.
That bit, the few cents, I'm afraid, partly explains why Logitech doesn't leap into action. Dell screws it to the floor on price, removing any incentive to deliver decent support.
Is there a Dell support forum like this where you can pose your problem? You might have more luck there.
By the way, a Google search on "LvUSBSta.sys dell laptop" throws up various links. You are not alone. Maybe someone out there has a magic wand.

Des Moines, Iowa – The Black Hills State University football team was defeated 28-0 by No. 20 Grand View in the season opener on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. Black Hills State falls to 0-1 on the season and Grand View moves to 1-0.
"This is not the way we wanted to start this season," said head coach Jay Long. "But, we are a young team and we are going to have to bounce back. Grand View is a team loaded with juniors and seniors where we have over 75 freshmen and sophomores. Our guys are learning and they will have to get better for next week."
After a scoreless first quarter, the Yellow Jackets fell behind 7-0 on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Greg Charles to Lester Moffett. The score remained 7-0 at halftime.
Grand View tacked on three rushing touchdowns in the third quarter. Darryl Ford scored twice on a pair of 5-yard runs and Dante Simms added the final score for the Vikings on a 3-yard run.
The Yellow Jackets were led defensively by senior defensive end Wacey Coleman who posted two sacks on the day.
Long said, "We will go back and watch film of this game and evaluate where we are. We are going to look for the guys who are giving the most effort. Those guys are going to see the field a lot."
Black Hills State will face Wisc.-Stout in the Yellow Jackets' home opener. Kick-off is set for 6 p.m. MT on Friday, Sept. 3. The game can be heard locally on 980 AM KDSJ or online at www.kdsj980.com. A webcast of the game is also available by visiting www.b2tv.com.
All-sport season tickets are now on sale for the Yellow Jackets. Tickets can be purchased by contacting John Kietzmann at (605) 642-6832 or via e-mail at email@example.com.

Doesn't sound like much of a strategy to me - unless the aim is to kill MotoGP.
In Italy terrestrial TV will be showing WSBK not MotoGP which was dropped - sounds like the same thing now happening in the UK.

On tonight's episode of "Teen Mom," Tyler's tenuous relationship with his father took another hit when Butch revealed he was headed back to rehab. Butch's drug problem has plagued his son's life for a long time now, but according to Catelynn, he's not the only person in the family who struggles with addiction.
Catelynn recently confided in SuChin Pak that her mother's drinking habit has also had a huge effect on her home life and general well-being. Watch this clip from our latest Teen Mom After Show, in which Cate and other young mothers discuss how substance abuse has the power to destroy a mother's ability to connect and care for her child.

Help a Reflector guy get his first Refractor!
Posted 20 August 2013 - 02:52 PM
I am looking to add a nice portable refractor to my telescope equipment list. I wanted to get your opinions on what a semi experienced guy like me should start out with. I have been snooping around and have an idea that a 4" size would be the best for me in terms of portability and light gathering potential. I am primarily interested in the Moon, Planetary and maybe some Deep Sky Objects (when the city skies allow).
I have 2 Dobson reflectors which are serving me well but really want a smaller scope for the quick views and set up times. (no real cool down and thermal issues to deal with)
I would also like to Binoview with the refractor, and I am fully aware of the potential focus issues some have. But again I am looking for your experience to help guide me into making a good solid decision.
The scope that has my eye is the Explore Scientific AR102 Air-Spaced Doublet Refractor with Twilight 1 Mount. It seems for $599 this has all that I need to get going. Although I would rather have a right angle finder, but I can always upgrade that later.
I like this scope because of its price and the mount seems pretty good, and I do want slow motion nobs to assist at moving the scope at high powers.
So what do you all think? Is this a good SOLID buy or do you have any other suggestions?
Thank you all in advance!

I agree. The $59 scope is a great deal if you want to add a 4" refractor. it is very light but longer than the ES if portability is an issue. moon and planets are better suited for the longer focal length.
Why would the longer focal length be better for planets? Is this because the shorter FL gives a wide field, thus not required for planetary viewing? And the shorter FL doesn't give you as much magnification power?
Would this scope still be a good all around type even though it is a short FL?
All this input is what I am craving! please keep it coming!

All success in getting a winner....

The longer focal length cuts down the chromatic false color you may see on bright objects like the moon and planets.
I must echo the suggestion onOPT's Celestron $59 4" special. These are really decent scopes and a terrific price. This would be a really good way to start with a refractor. 4" for $59? Come on, you can't NOT buy one!
But the deal is over in a few days!
Good luck!
