Subramanian, chief operating officer, Myntra.com, adding that more than 60% of its womens wear business comes from ethnic wear during the festival months.
Recommendations shared on the social networking sites are also helping the e-tailers. On several occasions, my friends have posted the deals as their status message and I have clicked on the link to reach the website. The fact that a friend has already checked it out and finds it good is a big incentive to click on the link, says Sweta Singh.
The Facebook route is coming in handy for retailers too. Bangalore-based Simantini Ghosh, who recently started her designer saree business Angana and Oloshoi, got the entire clientele at her first exhibition through Facebook promotions. I didnt have the money to pay for a website of my own. This way, you get a ready-made clientele and an interactive platform to expand your business, says Ghosh.
Womens social shopping platform LimeRoad.com, too, is encouraging community-based user-generated visual content for their products, which includes clothing, accessories, footwear and gift items. Keeping in mind the festival season, the online platform has started its style council by various designers, fashion and celebrity bloggers to make shopping more interactive.
It is a great discovery for the users. This helps us inject variety and freshness. We push user-generated products to Facebook so that it starts trending. We feel that trend must become democratic. Ideas must come from every corner of the country. We are also asking the celebrity bloggers to create their own scarpbooks, says Suchi Mukherjee, CEO and co-founder, LimeRoad.com
However, Pragya Singh, associate director (retail) at Technopak, a research firm, feels that the challenge for e-tailers is to engage a consumer in multiple ways and build loyalty. Social media is important because people are highly connected. The marketing of the brand is easy on social networking platforms and is proving to be an important channel for them, she says.

California Employment Law
California Employment Law Questions Answered by Legal Experts
Hello and thank you for your question today
Are you online with me?
Welcome to the chat
To receive unemployment, you would need to show that you lost your job through no fault of your own. Thus, if you had been given an action plan and were terminated you would absolutely receive unemployment even if you did not meet expectations.
Because you gave 30 day notice, however, if you do not rescind this notice, then receiving unemployment will be very difficult.
So did I ruin my chance or getting unemployment by giving them my resignation rather than signing their plan?
The reason behind this is that the CA EDD finds that quitting without good cause does not constitute loosing your job through no fault of your own.
Are you still working there?
If yes, then you need to send something, in writing, which rescinds your resignation.
Yes, I feel like I quit under duress, either sign or be fired, so I gave resignation to give me 30 days
preferably certified return receipt
I did send something trying to rescind and they did not accept it
though it can be done in email, etc. as long as you make sure you have it in writing for EDD when your employer fights it
I am actually still working their for another 3 days
you should rescind your resignation as soon as possible
if they do not accept, then you have a strong argument that you should receive unemployment benefits
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX do that
not a problem
Does that fully answer your question?
Yes, thank you

They all look like close games to me-- which has been the case for so many Big Ten football games this fall. What a day for viewing and somewhere the Tigers' World Series game will be thrown in as well at night from Comerica Park.
Michigan State at Wisconsin at 3:30. Spartans must show me some offense I haven't seen all season to win. MSU could win but Badgers are understandably the favorite.
Indiana at Illinois. The two stinkers. I like Illinois at home on a week's rest and if the Illini don't win this one they may not win again this season.
Michigan at Nebraska. Prime time at 8 o'clock. Nebraska doesn't lose at home and sets up a showdown at Michigan State next week. Nebraska would be favored then to end up as Legends Division winner.
Ohio State at Penn State. Braxton Miller is playing but Penn State is playing its "bowl game." Ohio State is due to go down.
Minnesota at Northwestern. Too much Northwestern offense. The Wildcats win.

When it comes to fan support, the Magic are blessed to have some of the most sympathetic followers in sports.
They also are cursed to have some of the most sympathetic followers in sports.
Orlando could have hired Scott Skiles to be the NBA's first 51-year-old point guard, surrounded him with four guys from the YMCA, and fans would have shrugged off the ensuing two-win season.
The evidence is the "Ultimate Standings" poll in the most recent ESPN The Magazine. It annually ranks every NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL franchises from Nos. 1-122.
It is based on surveys of more than 100,000 fans who rated their favorite teams in 25 areas. From that, the magazine came...

Founded in 1978 in Vermont by Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Ben & Jerry's is famed for its super-premium ice cream in a wide variety of chunky and swirly flavours, using the finest quality ingredients. A Vermont corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Unilever, Ben & Jerry's operates its business on a three-part Mission Statement emphasizing product quality, economic reward and a commitment to the community. Ben & Jerry's also prides itself on acting in a socially and sustainably responsible fashion.
The challenge
In the past, @benandjerrysUK has used its website and other social networks to solicit ideas for new flavours. This time, Ben & Jerry's wanted to try a fresh approach to developing a new flavour as part of a wider campaign to engage its fans, so it turned to Twitter. TV advertising would be a key component of this campaign and @benandjerrysUK decided to extend its television spots onto Twitter using the hashtag #MyBenandJerrys and encourage consumers to tweet their flavour suggestions.
The solution
The brand used a Promoted Trend to drive campaign awareness and Promoted Tweets targeting specific interests, keywords and search. In addition, for the first time, @benandjerrysUK trialled TV conversation targeting. The brand was one of the first to trial this targeting capability. This enabled the brand to extend the reach of its TV ad campaign, which featured the #MyBenandJerrys hashtag, and promote Tweets to users who engaged with specific shows. As a result, @benandjerrysUK could reach the most relevant part of the audience it wanted to connect with and invite fans to suggest their own flavour. The one lucky winner of the competition received their own private supply of this unique flavour delivered direct to their door.
Central to the campaign was the creation of a hashtag, so @benandjerrysUK invested time and effort in coming up with the right one. It wanted something that included the brand name without being unwieldy while giving consumers a sense of ownership (hence the use of the 'my'). #MyBenandJerrys met all three of these requirements.
Hmm…how about a @marmite core…? Love it, or hate it? #MyBenAndJerrys pic.twitter.com/KbPKIhvsA8— Ben & Jerry's UK (@benandjerrysUK) October 16, 2013
@benandjerrysUK launched its campaign with a content plan created in partnership with media agency @mindshare_uk. The content was based around rich media, a focus on what was popular on TV, (including shows such as the BBC's 'The Great British Bake-off') and being real-time and reactive.
As part of its bid to spark conversation, @benandjerrysUK targeted a number of celebrity Tweeters. It sent Tweets name checking the likes of 2013 @thexfactor boy band contestants @Kingslandroad, @Craigdavid and @Madonnanation among others.
@mindshare_uk also used online listening tools (@SecondSync) to understand the patterns of conversation surrounding popular TV shows in order to inform its content strategy.
Good luck tonight @KingslandRd! Here's a soothing #MyBenandJerrys flavour we made especially for you guys! #xfactor pic.twitter.com/GvSEiHRxUZ— Ben & Jerry's UK (@benandjerrysUK) October 12, 2013
As fans began to tweet their desired #MyBenandJerrys concoctions, the brand rewarded users by creating personalised infographics of their suggestions such as this one featuring a core flavour of cream cheese frosting and carrot cake chunks.
We just loved @NicolaWatsonUK's Carrot Cake Core Creation… Keep 'em coming! #MyBenAndJerrys pic.twitter.com/eRmRAD5hMF— Ben & Jerry's UK (@benandjerrysUK) October 11, 2013
As the TV ads aired, @benandjerrysUK engaged with user Tweets by favouriting, retweeting and replying to encourage two-way conversation and demonstrate responsiveness.
"Twitter's TV Targeting was a great way for us to get that breadth and depth of engagement, which is so key to creating a connection with consumers. It's that which can make all the difference. As a community we need to start thinking more about how our TV creative can influence and encourage conversation online."Rhodri MorganSenior Brand Manager, Ben & Jerry's UK
TV conversation targeting makes it easy for networks and brands to connect with Twitter users already engaged with TV. Through our conversation mapping technology, networks and brands can promote Tweets to users who engage with specific shows, whether or not a brand is running a spot in the program. Now advertisers can easily reach Twitter users exposed to integrations, sponsorships, and other innovative TV tie-ins for an additional touch point or message expansion.
Read more about TV conversation targeting.
The results
The campaign exceeded expectations for @benandjerrysUK and significantly outperformed category benchmarks.
This strong performance was reflected in the campaign's Promoted Tweets, which recorded an average engagement rate of 5.6% and a peak engagement rate of 15.2%. Promoted Tweets with TV conversation targeting achieved an engagement rate as high as 8.53%.
Equally successful was the Promoted Trend, which notched up a 19.4% engagement rate.
The choice of the #MyBenandJerrys hashtag also paid off. It was widely adopted by those taking part and racked-up more than 9,600 mentions. Many of those also followed @benandjerrysUK, which attracted an additional 6,800 new followers.
"The @benandjerrysUK brand is really about getting out there and meeting consumers. You can't meet them all face to face, so Twitter is great for allowing @benandjerrysUK to connect and give consumers a connection. It allows us to have a dialogue with @benandjerrysUK ice cream fans."Steph MilesDesign & Digital Creation Manager, Ben & Jerry's Europe
3 keys to success
- Spend time creating the right hashtag.
@benandjerrysUK placed a big focus on creating the right hashtag for its campaign. With #MyBenandJerrys, it launched a hashtag that worked hard on a number of levels: It not only had the benefit of being snappy, but also included the brand name and gave consumers a sense of ownership and involvement.
- Integrate your TV and Twitter campaigns to extend your reach.
TV combined with Twitter advertising campaigns deliver more engaging brand messages whilst making it easy for marketers to run always-on Twitter campaigns that complement and amplify TV advertising. The #MyBenandJerrys TV ad campaign ran alongside a Promoted Trend and Promoted Tweets.
- Create rich content.
For #MyBenandJerrys campaign, @benandjerrysUK worked closely with the social content creation team at @mindshare_uk to prepare a raft of rich and shareable content ideas to share with ice cream fans. The best performing Tweets in the campaign were retweeted and favourited hundreds of times.

Spidernaut Makes Final Resting Spot Washington D.C.
The Smithsonian's Insect Zoo had a new visitor, one from out of this world, but its visit was short lived after dying just a few short days after its trip.
The National Museum of Natural History's new guest was Nefertiti the "Jumping Johnson" astronaut spider.
Neffi was found lifeless on Monday morning, just four days after her public debut at the national zoo.
"Yes, it's unfortunate. She seemed well-adjusted to earth and was in good spirits. But 10 months is a good run for a little jumping spider," museum spokesman Randall Kremer told the Washington Post.
The spidernaut spent some time at the International Space Station (ISS), and was also part of the historic Dragon capsule's descent back towards Earth.
During Neffi's 100-day mission, she adapted to weightlessness, and learned to catch her prey through unorthodox methods. Instead of leaping onto fruit flies, she crept up next to them.
The spidernaut's trip to space was due in part by Amr Mohamed's proposed experiment. The 18-year-old proposed sending two jumping spiders to space as part of a YouTube contest that included an all-star scientists panel featuring Stephen Hawking.
Mohamed thought with microgravity, the spiders would fly past their prey once they leapt towards dinner. However, Nefertiti showed her space resilience when push came to shove.
NASA astronauts released fruit flies into the spider's chamber for mealtime, and instead of succumbing to microgravity's physics, the spider adapted.
During a broadcast on the ISS, astronaut and commander Sunita Williams watched as the spider crept closer towards her meal, and suddenly jumped right on it.
"It was amazing. I think the spider has absolutely adapted to space," Williams said during the broadcast.
After coming from space, to a laboratory in Colorado, then to her final resting place in Washington D.C., Neffi completed her full life
Kirk Johnson, the museum's director, said the spider has traveled 41.5 million miles, splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, flew to Japan, and flew from California. In all, Nefertiti the spidernaut lived a full life.

Every year Michigan residents make generous donations to charities that do good work in our communities. Despite all the good work of charities, I want to remind you of a couple steps you may wish to follow to make sure your donation is used wisely. You can also view a Top Ten List for Donors here.
First, research the organization. Consider asking what is the organization's purpose? This question will help determine whether or not the charity works on an issue you wish to support.You may also want to ask how your money will be spent. Will the money go to a certain program or to support a certain geographic/demographic area, and how much of the money will be spent on administration and fundraising versus programming? You also want to determine if your donation is tax-deductable. Only donations made to organizations with a section 501(c)(3) tax designation are eligible for a tax deduction on the federal level. Also, only donations made to specific types of charities are eligible for a tax credit in Michigan.
Next, don't just hand over the money. When you feel confident this organization is the right fit for your investment, consider the following when making your actual donation: make your contribution by check so you have a record of your donation; make the check payable to the organization, never to an individual; ask for and keep receipts from the organization indicating how much you donated, the date and its intended use; and to avoid ID theft and fraud, use caution before giving credit card numbers via the phone or email.Also, when donating on the internet, check to see if the organization is using a secured site for financial transactions.
For additional information, and specifically for large donations, you may consider asking for the following materials or viewing this information online. Obtain a copy of the charity's latest IRS Form 990; this is the reporting mechanism required by the Federal government for all charities with operating expenses above $25,000 a year. Form 990s can be viewed through Guidestar. Ask if the charity has a Charitable Solicitation License from the Michigan Attorney General allowing them to solicit funds. Most charities that raise more than $8,000 a year or pay for fundraising services are required to file for this license. The list of organizations with a solicitation license is available here. You should also view the group's latest annual report and latest financial statements. These documents provide insight into the type and degree of services being provided and indicate how much of the donations are applied to actual programming vs. administrative and fundraising. For more information, contact the Charitable Trust Section of the Michigan Attorney General.
Are you planning on giving to charity this holiday season? Do you have any stories about giving traditions or your experiences? We would love to hear from you!
Note: This post is authored by guest blogger Marion Gorton. Marion previously worked as a charitable trust administrator for the Michigan Department of the Attorney General, administering the office that oversees charities. Since retirement from the AG's office in December 2005, she has worked at the Michigan Nonprofit Association as a program specialist and public policy specialist.

Kidsummer is an annual event hosted by the CBC in Toronto and features two days worth of non-stop entertainment and events for children. Yesterday, I was on assignment to cover the event and am happy (also surprised) to say I did not have any equipment broken, despite thousands of kids grabbing, hitting, walking into it, etc, all day long. Here's my annual parachute shot -- still the most photogenic activity at the event.

Christmas Tree Lighting
Dec 06, 2011
I am delighted to welcome all of you here for what has become a favorite Marywood tradition: the lighting of the campus Christmas tree. I am especially happy to welcome our smallest...and, I think, our most important guests, to help us celebrate this special event.
The Christmas tree lighting ceremony at Marywood began as a way to cope with the darkness of tragedy. After a fire destroyed the Motherhouse on February 22, 1971, a decision was made to decorate a live, planted evergreen tree that was growing in the area behind where the monumental building once stood. So, Christmas 1971—40 years ago this season—marked the start of this cherished tradition, which draws all of us here today.
We come together for more than tradition, however—we also gather for meaning. We rejoice in our faith, our various cultural heritages, and our desire for peace. We respect the common bonds among us. Such a universal expression of celebration, community, and meaning-making flows directly from our core value of Catholic Identity; we capture the fullness of the meaning of the word "catholic"—both as a Big "C" expression of faith and a small "c" demonstration of the unconditional, welcoming love that God has for each one of us—so much love, in fact, that He sent His Only Son to live among us.
Today, to celebrate the humble majesty of that most precious gift, we will bring forth the beautiful light of our Christmas tree. To do this, however, I'll need some assistance, so I'll call on my helpers to start the countdown....

This Rotten Week: Predicting Burt Wonderstone And The Call Reviews
By Doug Norrie 2013-03-10 16:37:22 comments
The Call
I like the tact the filmmakers took in this thing. They said to themselves, Okay, heres the deal, weve got Halle Berry on board. Shes going to the play the 911 operator at the center of a serial killer investigation. And while thats an implausible, almost laughable premise, weve got bigger problems. Is there anyone out there wholl believe someone who looks like Halle Berry actually works as a 911 operator and not, say, as a professional model? No, no there isnt. Something must be done.
So they got to work de-hotting Berry, giving her a weird, up curly do, and dolling her down in the drab blues and grays of the public service sector. Its like they also thought, Hey look at Monsters Ball, they made her plain Jane in that thing and she won a f@#$ing Oscar.
Anyway, this reconfiguring of Berrys looks only serves to distract from that fact that this flick looks ridiculous and critics will hate it. Look no further than The Guardians break down of Berrys facial expressions to know what youre getting into here.
Directed by Brad Anderson (Transsiberian-91%, The Machinist-76%), The Call looks far removed from his earlier, critically acclaimed work. It appears a formulaic, serial killer, kidnapping, nick-of-time, manhunt through Hollywood cliches. Dont expect much. The Rotten Watch for The Call is
Which Rotten movie will have the highest final Tomatometer score?

WHEELING - Coach Rick Magruder and the Wheeling Central softball team will bring back some talent to the field this season.
Magruder, who has been at the helm since 1996, said senior Madison Basinger will return to the pitcher's circle, with senior Joni Zavolta playing right field and senior Ashley Gast at first base.
"Madison Basinger is our starting pitcher and she's worked pretty hard," Magruder said. "I expect a lot out of her. We have a good nucleus back."
At second base will be Cara Stahl, while Sydney Bennington takes the shortstop post. Both are juniors with plenty of experience, Magruder said.
At third base will be sophomore Bailey Rehm while Cassidy McCord, a sophomore, will be in center field.
"Allie Cook will move from center field to catcher. She may possibly be one of the best catchers in the state this year," Magruder said. "She played pretty well in the outfield last year but she's one to watch as catcher."
Some versatile players this year include Hannah Mozingo, a freshman, and Jai Ehir Jackson, a sophomore. Magruder said he expects "big things out of them."
He noted that Mozingo also can play catcher.
Others players include Jordyn Smith, sophomore, who will play outfield.
Magruder said his utility players - Jordan Haley, Delaney Denniston, Allie Barry, Amanda Medovic and Molly Beaver - are all versatile and will move around the field as needed.
"At the least we are hoping to make it down state for a shot at the state title. We hope to get better as the season goes on," Magruder said. "I think we have strength in our pitchers and we are pretty strong defensively. We have a lot of speed. I think offensively we will be OK. We have some young players and it will take them some time to get in the groove."
As for team leaders, Magruder points to his seniors, especially Basinger, Gast and Zavolta.
Assistant coaches include Ambrose Bober and Ed Cihy, who have been with the program since the mid-1990s.

Rahat Mayor: Why use racism?
"We in the Bedouin sector do not encourage romantic relations between Bedouins and Jews as well. It hurts our families just like it hurts the Jews. It causes a lot of difficult problems and internal conflicts which often end in violence," Rahat Mayor Talal al-Krenawi said in response to the Kiryat Gat conference.

The San Francisco Film Society is strengthening its documentary programs by adding two new board members and expanding its documentary film fund. New SFFS executive director Noah Cowan is bringing in veteran documentary producer and funders Julie Parker Benello and Lisa Kleiner Chanoff to join the Board of Directors. And the SFFS has secured funding for a minimum of three years from Jennifer Battat and the Jenerosity Foundation for its Doc Film Fund cash grants, which are given to feature filmmakers for post-production.
While the society had held conversations with Benello and Chanoff, Cowan made the final push to bring them aboard. He believes that the Golden Age of documentary cinema "continues to roll on and as only just begun," and is hoping to boost the grants that go to American documentarians going forward, he told me in a phone interview. "There are so many exciting developments in documentary filmmaking in the U.S. San Francisco feels like a natural place for the next phase of this incredible run of American docs to take flight and create new opportunities for these filmmakers."
"Right now there are a lot of extraordinary foundations related to social action in the Bay Area," he continued, "who are looking for partners in media. We can be an effective conduit for those funders to the greatest documentary filmmakers working today."
Julie Parker Benello cofounded Chicken & Egg Pictures with Judith Helfand and Wendy Ettinger in 2005 to match strategically timed grants with mentoring and and collaborating with women documentary filmmakers. Benello is Founder and Managing Director of a new equity fund, Gamechanger Films, that is investing in a slate of independent narrative films by women directors.
Lisa Kleiner Chanoff is cofounder of Catapult Film Fund, which provides development grants for documentary films early in the production process. Chanoff and filmmaker Bonni Cohen started Catapult in 2010. Chanoff is also an investor in narrative and documentary films and a philanthropist deeply involved in education and the arts.
Since its launch in 2011, the SFFS Documentary Film Fund has distributed more than $375,000 to advance new work by non-fiction filmmakers nationwide. Their films include Zachary Heinzerling's "Cutie and the Boxer," which won Sundance's Directing Award for documentary, was released by RADiUS-TWC and nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature; Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson's "American Promise," which premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and won the festival's Special Jury Prize in the documentary category; and Shaul Schwarz's Sundance hit "Narco Cultura."

The hilltop town of Monteriggioni is known for its circular walls and 14 distinct towers and what better way to see it than on a Monteriggioni Tour with your private guide from Italy's Best? The Sienese founded Monteriggoni in 1203 as a fortress against the Florentine Republic. The walls had been damaged and rebuilt on a few occasions, and the ones standing today date back to 1265. This little jewel of a town is the perfect place to stop for lunch or gelato between Siena and San Gimignano or Colle Val D'Elsa.
The town of Colle di Val d'Elsa is divided into two parts: Colle Alta (the upper town) and Colle Bassa (the lower town). Colle Alta is resplendent with medieval architecture. Your private guide from Italy's Best will bring you to the Piazza dell Duomo where you will visit the Archaeological Museum inside the Palazzo Pretorio. The nearby Cathedral and the Bishop's Palace house the Museum of Sacred Art. Your guide will lead you off the square along the picturesque Via delle Volte, then we make our way to Colle Bassa, the high town's modern counterpart.
Colle Val D'Elsa is one of the world's most important crystal producers and many shops within the lower town sell local crystal glass. Want to learn more about this tradition? Pay a visit to the beautifully curated Museum of Crystal, and we can also arrange for you to see a workshop or production factory.

Hello everyone,
We upgraded ZCS from version 5.0.9 to 5.0.10, and now, when reading some HTML mails (on Internet Explorer), we have this javascript error :
"Stop the running script ? A script on this page is causing internet explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer might become unresponsive."
If I click yes, the mail doesn't show completely unless I move the separation bar between the reading pane and the mail list (quite strange...) and if I choose to click no, the message appears again about 5 seconds later.
On Firefox, the mail shows completely but the loading bar is never complete...
Does anybody else face this problem ? Do you have any clue ? I report this bug here here.
Thanks in advance

|Wildcats taken out by the Tigers
By Christy Sheets
Sports Writer
On Tuesday, Feb. 16, the Cats traveled to Grant for sub-districts to play the Tigers of Paxton. The Lady Cats were ready to play, hoping to beat the Tigers one more time this season. Unfortunately for the Lady Cats, the Tigers had other plans. Both teams worked hard in the first quarter, but the Tigers led at buzzer, 10-13.
The Lady Cats played the second quarter much the same way as the first. They tried to gain momentum, but they were plagued by fouls. The Cats headed to the locker rooms trailing the Tigers, 23-30.
After the half, the Cats seemed unwilling to give up. Once again they tried to build momentum, but the Tigers matched them shot for shot. The Cats outscored the Tigers by two, cutting the Tigers lead to five, 39-44.
In the fourth quarter the Cats tried hard to pull ahead, making the shots when they needed them. Unfortunately, they also starting getting into foul trouble, and the Tigers made the shots they needed to extend their lead. The Lady Cats' season ended with a final score of 45 to 57.
Offensively, West led the Cats with 21 points (5 free throws), followed by Harris (3 free throws) and Hild (1 field goal) each with 7 points. J. Hasenauer had 4 points (2 free throws), Aylward had (1 free throw) 3 points, O'Brien had 2 points, and Swedberg had 1 point (1 free throw).
Leading the team with assists were O'Brien (5), Aylward (1), West (1), Swedberg (1), Hild (1), and Smith (1).
Leading the team with offensive rebounds were West (9), Harris (7), O'Brien (3), J. Hasenauer (2), Swedberg (1), and Aylward (1)
Defensively, West led the Cats with 7 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block. Harris had 4 rebounds and 1 steal, Swedberg had 2 rebounds and 3steals, Aylward had 2 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 steals, Hild and O'Brien each had 2 steals, J. Hasenauer had 1 rebound and 1 steal, Hochstetler had 1 rebound and 1 block, and Wickizer and Smith each had 1 rebound.
The Season
The ladies had a good season, ending with a 13-8 record. The average number of points per game was 45.64. Senior Katie West was leading scorer for the team with 414 (91 free throws) points for the season, and junior Katelynn Hild had the most shots for 3 with 23 field goals.
Leading the team with assists were juniors Katelynn Hild (53) and Laura O'Brien (52). Leading the team with offensive rebounds were seniors Katie West (108) and Jena Aylward (77). Defensively, seniors West (170 rebounds, 20 blocks, and 49 steals) and Aylward (109 rebounds, 18 blocks, and 43 steals) led the way, with Hild (60) and O'Brien (51) leading in steals.

Rocket Engine, Liquid Fuel, Auxiliary Propulsion System (APS), Thruster, Saturn
This is an attitude control motor, or APS (Auxiliary Propulsion System), for the S-IVB (third stage) of the Saturn V launch vehicle developed for Project Apollo to carry humans to the Moon. APS motors provided three axis control of roll, pitch and yaw control for the S-IV during Earth orbit and injection into lunar orbit. Each motor produced 150 pounds of thrust.
APS engines were used in all the Apollo Saturn V flights from 1967 to 1972. The Saturn V last flew when it lifted Skylab, the U.S.'s first Earth-orbiting space station, in 1973. The APS shown here was transferred to the NASM in 1974 by the McDonnell Douglas Co.

How to Do a Fast and Cute Makeup Look for Everyday
This look is suitable all year and everyday. This works for teenagers or busy moms or anybody really.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Apply sunscreen if its in the summer or late spring. This part is optional, though. Apply a small amount onto your fingertips and evenly dot your face, then rub in. Wait for it to dry until moving on to next step.
2Apply concealer. Apply concealer under your eyes. You can apply around the creases of your nose and if you are using lip color, applying concealer around your mouth will make the color pop. Apply the concealer with a concealer brush and rub in with a foundation brush, but you can use your fingers. Just make sure your hands are clean. Do not use stick concealer on acne prone skin.
3Apply a pressed powder. If you are in a hurry, just apply in spots that are oily or shiny.
4Apply a light reflecting base to your lids.
5Apply a highlight color like white. Put this under your brow. And if you want, you can put some white on a q-tip and place in the inner corner. This will automatically make your eyes look bright and refreshed.
6Apply a light color eyeshadow all over your lids. You may prefer shimmer, but matte is fine. And you should do the same color or close to your skin tone.
7Apply a gray or light black eyeliner to your lid. Then just rub in with your hands.
8Apply a silver eyeshadow over the liner.
9Line your eyes with eyeliner. Use black liquid liner on the top line and a black pencil liner on the bottom waterline. If you don't want the eyeliner to be harsh, white is good too.
10Curl lashes and apply mascara.

Oct. 23, 1999
PULLMAN, Wash. -- Practice is over. It's just another day for Adrienne Rizzo. Except that today the freshman has an interview, and I'm the lucky guy to do it.
I have heard a lot about her. Just a couple months into her stay at WSU she's already notorious, not just for what she does on the soccer field, but also for what she does off it.
On the field, she's sure to be around the latest whistle - nearly guaranteed to be the cause of the first foul, the last and any in between. Off the field she's gained a reputation by being just a little bit different -- relaxing to the crooning of Frank Sinatra, for example.
As she arrives for the interview she looks safe enough. A small bag of ice on one leg and a tiny cut on one hand are the only signs that Rizzo's been getting physical on the soccer field of late. Right then, just looking at her walk into the room, there's no way of knowing that 30 minutes later I'll walk away with pain induced at her hands. There's no way of knowing that I'm going to be yet another victim of Rizzo's wrath, splayed out on the ground like one of the opponents unfortunate enough to have to fight her for a ball.
That's Rizzo's mystique, and her charm. They say that looks can be deceiving, and in her case that's a drastic understatement. Packaged inside that 5-foot-5 frame is a bundle of energy that should have a warning label attached.
Those of us who don't know her range of interests and personality stumble forward unwittingly like a first-time surfer in a Jaws movie, never stopping to ask, "Hey, what's with that music?" Before our ultimate demise, we'll hear about Hulk Hogan and a very special laundry tub the color of his wrestling tights. We'll get 'The Lecture' on Sinatra and Louis Armstrong. We'll see a picture documenting the strategic stalking of celebrities at Pro-Am golf tournaments. And we'll hear stories about 4-year-old opponents, trips to the grocery store and anything else that Rizzo lets escape from the annals of her mind.
And so it begins...
A year ago, Rizzo was working toward her California Central Coast Section defensive player of the year honor as a senior at Presentation High in San Jose. During Rizzo's prep career, Presentation compiled an 80-5-5 record and won two CCS championships.
But this year Rizzo, like any freshman, had to discard all past accomplishments and start over. Her old reputation meant nothing in the Pac-10. It was time to build a new one, while going through typical transitional growing pains.
"I was surprised the first couple games with the quickness and the speed (at the collegiate level)," Rizzo said. "It takes a while to get used to it. But the team has really been there for the freshmen to give them a helping hand and to boost them up.
"I just wanted to go out and show that I could play with everyone on the team. I wanted to physically show that I could get to the ball and that I could tackle hard."
Tackling, sometimes legally, sometimes not, has been what Rizzo's done best this season. It is the mark of a tenacious defender, and it's usually Rizzo's opponents who come away scarred. Not even one full season into her career, hard tackles have become her calling card - and she's more than proud of that.
"That's the best part of the game," Rizzo said of physical play. "I always look forward to it. Before each game I pick out one person and my goal is to go after them hard and aggravate them....It could be the way she tucks in her shirt, the way she talks, it doesn't matter. I'll just pick her out and try to get to her."
Which doesn't mean that you're safe if not a predetermined target. "I'll always take on someone else too," Rizzo assured. "I'm not limited.
"It's the best part of the game. On game day I wake up and I feel like I'm going to hit somebody. I know that I'm going to hit somebody. I'm going to get into it."
Why would she think any differently? Since her soccer experience began at 4-years-old, Rizzo has organized more hits than the Godfather.
"My first soccer game we had a coed team and a boy passed me and my father yelled, 'Get him,'" Rizzo remembered. "So I sprinted like thirty yards, pulled down his shirt, 'WWFed' him (tackled him) - it didn't even matter where the ball was - and that's where my fouling career got started.
"I've been called 'Butcher,' 'Destroyer,' 'Intimidator,' by other parents on other teams, and that's what I like. I want to get into somebody's head so that they can't concentrate on the game. They are worried that the next time the ball comes to them I'm going to be up on them and hitting them hard, so they look over their shoulders to see if I'm coming."
Rizzo seems to have a knack for making people look over their shoulders in fear. Consider one of her prized possessions, a photo of Party of Five star Scott Wolf back-dropped by Rizzo and six other smiling teenage girls.
"He looks terrified," Rizzo said with a grin. He's just another one of the victims though, one of the celebrities that got too close to Rizzo and her high school friends at a Pro-Am golf tournament. It wasn't a chance meeting on any account. Just like Rizzo stalks a soccer opponent, she and her friends had Wolf in their sights long before he was even at the golf course.
"We basically go out and check the paper to see what celebrity is at what course," Rizzo said. "We have a little time sheet and we hit every one."
Although photo opportunities are rare, they've gotten at least some hello's from the likes of Bill Murray, Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Lemmon, Ashley Judd, and Ken Griffey Jr., not to mention some casual conversation from actors Kevin Costner and Andy Garcia.
"They (Costner and Garcia) actually stopped and talked to us and asked us where we were from and what we were doing, why weren't we in school," Rizzo said. "That was great."
And so it continues...
Despite some affection for the young and well-dimpled, many of Rizzo's tastes off the field are a bit more aged. Sure she's got a picture of Wolf, but don't forget Ol' Blue Eyes.
"I listen to jazz and Frank Sinatra," Rizzo said. "I get made fun of a lot by the team for this. I think it's my more mellow aspect. I go so hard on the field and then I have this opposite end where I'm listening to Frank and chilling out...
"I never follow the trend. I'm always the person who goes away from it and sees what I can do myself. I've got people who walk into my dorm right now and they give me the funniest looks because I have this huge picture of Frank, and then there's Louis Armstrong. They are always like, 'Who are these people?' And then I have to give them The Lecture: 'These people are legends.'
"I get made fun of, but that's okay."
After all, one has to get used to some ribbing when their favorite two sporting events to watch on television are the Indianapolis 500 and the Kentucky Derby.
"We had a tradition at my house," Rizzo explained. "There was a yellow laundry tub and on Indianapolis 500 race day that would be my car. I would pretend that I was Mario Andretti. This started when I was four or five and went until I broke the tub at like 15 and I couldn't fit in it anymore.
"I would sit in that tub and lean with the turns. I'd have the whole newspaper out in front of me, with a picture of each racer. I'd take a black marker and cross people off, 'out of the race,' or 'flat tire.' I'd watch the whole thing."
Before you consider Rizzo a little off-kilter solely based on that childhood activity, consider that for Christmas she once got a cash register - and she was thrilled.
"In fourth grade that's all I wanted for Christmas," Rizzo said. "I was obsessed. I used to love going to the grocery store. My mom would go get groceries and I would just watch the lady at the register ring things up. It was all I wanted, so my parents went and got me one. I don't know, I still play with it sometimes so I want to bring it up here next year. You know, charge people at the door."
If she ever does, her friends probably won't even bat an eye.
"She's definitely a spaz," said fellow freshman, midfielder Ashley Honda. "She's crazy, but a good person to talk to...She's incredibly smart. You can talk to her about anything. She'll get really deep into conversations. She pulls out these things that make us say, 'Okay, Rizz, whatever.'"
This isn't a surprise, 'Whatever,' is the first thing that comes to mind when Rizzo tells you that she wants to become a firefighter, but she's not kidding. Since her freshman year in high school, it's been her biggest dream next to playing collegiate soccer.
"It's something I've always wanted to do," Rizzo said. "The hours are nice, and you're in the community and not behind a desk."
But a desk would be safer, right?
"The way I look at danger is that you can get in a car and go to some cubical-job and get into an accident and die," Rizzo said. "I don't think of it as dangerous if you are prepared and know what you are doing."
And so it ends...
The interview, like the 1999 soccer season, is almost over. I'm thankful because despite some severe pain in my sides from laughing myself out of my chair, Rizzo's been easy on me - no fisticuffs.
"I haven't been in a fight yet," Rizzo says. "I got a red card once. The ref told me I should stop playing soccer, that I was a danger to the sport...I just laughed at him."
But what about all those people you've "WWFed?"
"I was a big Hulk Hogan fan when I was little," Rizzo says. "I just use the word, you know, when I give somebody a little body slam."
I'll take her word for it, because I'm suddenly identifying with that 4-year-old kid that got upended by Rizzo years ago. Some of us are just too delicate for this line of work.
Others, like Rizzo, are made for the rough-and-tumble life.
"Soccer is just my life, I can't live without it," Rizzo says. "To be injured for a week or something, I go out of control. I get bored."
Then isn't your style of play a little dangerous?
"I don't get hurt," Rizzo says with a smile. "It's usually the other person."
Somewhere that 4-year-old boy is shouting, 'Tell me about it.'

Perhaps a welder's most personalized accessory is his or her helmet. It provides critical protection from damaging arc flash, yet must remain comfortable enough for a full day's work. In today's market, often the most convenient helmets sold are auto darkening. Properly built, they protect you from harmful light emissions at all times and automatically darken in milliseconds to an appropriate welding shade when the arc is struck for additional user comfort.
But beyond providing safety and comfort throughout the work day, helmets now are also more functional, to accommodate a welder's personal needs. The auto-darkening cartridge in a helmet makes it easy for a welder to quickly adapt to the requirements of a wide variety of welding, cutting and grinding applications. Through the magic of quick-changing LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, auto-darkening cartridges allow a welder to see even while the helmet is in the down position. This provides a measure of physical protection in the work environment, protects against harmful UV and infrared radiation (IR) light, makes it much easier to position and start welds for best results, and reduces unnecessary stop and start time.
So how do you choose the right auto-darkening helmet? There are a number of factors to consider when selecting a helmet that is safe, comfortable and functional.
• Does the helmet meet current safety standards (ANSI Z87.1) addressing light leakage as well as flame and impact resistance?
• Does the helmet include power circuits for extended dark storage so the product always starts right out of the box?
• Is the cartridge rated to darken at the low end amperages you will be using?
• Are the shade controls easily accessible for adjustments?
• Is it easy to confirm the status of your current settings every time you return to the helmet?
• Is it easy to access the front spatter lens, inside cover lens and auto-darkening cartridge?
• Is the headgear adjustable up, down, forward, back and easily tightened around your head?
• Is the headgear made of flexible and comfortable material with no sharp edges?
• Is the rate of fall and degree of tilt controllable so the helmet lowers in a controlled manner?
• Is the helmet lightweight enough to minimize fatigue at the end of the day?
And what's more, today's auto-darkening helmets don't just come in basic black anymore. They come in a wide range of graphic alternatives, allowing you to show a little attitude while wearing a comfortable, functional and safe helmet.
For more detailed information and some of the latest auto-darkening helmets, visit www.lincolnelectric.com.

Director of Skiing Eli Brown hoists the NCAA third-place trophy.
April 20, 2008
SNOWBIRD, Utah - Utah celebrated 60 years of Ute skiing with the Celebration on the Snow reunion, held at Snowbird Mountain Resort, April 18-20.
Over 160 alumni from around the world traveled to Utah for the event. Activities for the weekend included both a Nordic and alpine (slalom) ski race and an all-mountain scavenger hunt. Josh Smullin (men) and head Nordic coach Wendy Wagner (women) won the Ski Up, a four-mile cross country race up the Snowbird service road to the top of the tram. Participants were split into teams of four for the slalom race and scavenger hunt. Team Park City, which featured current Ute Hermann Lager, 1959 Slalom, Alpine and downhill champion Marv Melville, Brita Knockum and Bjorn Bjornstad, was the grand prize winner, with the best combined score in the alpine and scavenger hunt events. The group also won the slalom with a combined time of 3:00.39. A full list of winners is below.
The events culminated with the annual ski team banquet on Saturday evening. The Utes were honored for their 2008 third-place finish, and team awards were handed out. Scott Veenis was a double winner on the evening, being awarded the Jerry Dixon Scholarship and the C.D. Reddish Memorial Award. Eva Huckova and Even Sletten earned the outstanding women's and men's skier awards, respectively. Chirine Njeim took home the Alf Engen Sportsmanship Award for her tenacity throughout the season, skiing well and keeping her grades up while taking care of a loved one with terminal cancer.
Former NCAA individual and team champions were also honored at the banquet. Former Utah Ski Director Pat Miller, who coached from 1974-2000, received one of the biggest ovations of the evening.
"One of the highlights was the slalom race. I had the pleasure of helping at the start and watching the alumni get their game faces on after many years was a hoot! We are already looking forward to the next reunion."

Metro App Development
Tackling performance killers: Common performance problems with Metro style apps (Windows 8 App Developer Blog)
"I want to dig into the common performance killers I have seen in apps. In this post, I go over the top guidance points which I have observed to result in measureable and noticeable improvements for Metro style apps, both written in JavaScript and in XAML. Plus, I tell you about 5 specific practices that I know will make a big difference, regardless of what language you are using. The good news is that they don't depend on clever tricks or complex operations. I am confident that following these guidelines will hugely improve your app's performance. Let me know in the comments how these help you, and share your own tips."
Metro: Declarative Data Binding (Stephen Walther)
"The goal of this blog post is to describe how declarative data binding works in the WinJS library. In particular, you learn how to use both the data-win-bind and data-win-bindsource attributes. You also learn how to use calculated properties and converters to format the value of a property automatically when performing data binding."
Win 8 exploration: Simple Databinding (Bill Wagner)
"This is another in my post series on WinRT programming for C# developers. The next sample provides an overview of WinRT data binding. This sample actually has seven different scenarios; it's one of the biggest samples so far. However, I'm only going to briefly cover this sample.

"If you are building a Metro app for Windows 8 with XAML/C# and need to launch your link in a browser, there is HyperlinkButton control but you need to wire up the Click event and launch it from the codebehind file."
Windows 8 JavaScript - FlipView Control (Shai Raiten)
"Windows 8 Metro App has couple of wonderful ways to display data, the more common way is Grid and Split Application Template. But there are several other ways to display information, in this post I'll demonstrate a FlipView control, that represents an items control that displays one item at a time, and which enables "flip" behavior for traversing its collection of items. The items on this FlipView control will come from my Blog Rss using SyndicationClient."
Windows 8 and the future of XAML: Part 4: Contracts in WinRT/Windows 8 (Gill Cleeren)
"In the previous article of this series, we wrote our first lines of code for WinRT. The main message was that although WinRT is a new API, we can still use our familiar languages to create Metro style applications. ... in this article, we'll focus on some specifics around contracts, more specifically, the Search contract. Contracts enable Metro applications to communicate with each other or with Windows itself without there being a hard reference in place."

I have this Java application and I'm using an external Jar and one of the functions is throwing a java.io.FileNotFoundException. I have the file that it's looking for but I have no idea where I'm supposed to put it. Is there any program I can use that can give me the location of the path that it's trying to look at? Thanks.
if you run the application in a debugger, most debuggers allow you to break when an exception is thrown. you could then inspect the local state of the application to determine the relevant path.
you should also probably report this as an enhncement request to the original library author (to include the file name in the thrown exception).
If the exception stack does not give you a hint on where it is looking for the file, and placing it in common places e.g.
does not work, I guess you can decompile the jar and see where it is looking for the file
Well, I doubt it is hardcoded so this will probably not show you exactly where it is looking...but you may want to decompile the class using JAD. This may clue you in on where it is looking.

A Look At The Fluff Of Vampire: The Masquerade
Vampires live among us, and have since Biblical times. The first of their monstrous kind was Caine, brother of Abel, son of Adam and Eve. Cursed by God for the murder of his brother, Caine became the first Vampire. From him, all others come. From his blood, and his curse, was born a multitude of nightmares that have haunted the dreams of mortal men throughout the ages. This is the origin of the vampire, according to Vampire: The Masquerade.
Vampires, often called either Kindred or Cainite, depending mainly on which of the major factions you side with (Camarilla or Sabbat, respectively), exist in our modern world. They prey on us in shadowy corners, in dim nightclubs, or even in our very own homes. They exist as a people alongside ourselves, and they have developed their own society and culture just beyond the sight of mortals. They live in the darkness, hiding from the sun, abiding by the Law of the Masquerade. Mortals must never know, for to reveal oneself to a mortal invites a new Imperium, a culling of the Kindred. Mortals have, after all, grown quite powerful in the past few centuries. Once, the blade, fire, and faith were the strongest weapons humans might bring to bare against vampires; now they possess firearms, global media, nuclear weapons, and more. Vampires know that their very existence is dependent upon humans remaining oblivious to them. Let the cattle remain ignorant, convinced that the vampire is nothing more than old fables, the rantings of a Scottish drunkard, or the sparkling fantasies of a desperate housewife.
When someone is brought into the fold, when they are given the 'embrace' and made into a vampire, they enter into an entirely new world. This world of darkness is harsh and unforgiving. Respect to the local lord, the Prince, is demanded. The laws of the damned must be obeyed. To the greater powers that exist within the shadows, a newly created fledgling is nothing more than an insignificant whelp, or perhaps a useful pawn.
This is the world in which the characters in Vampire: The Masquerade find themselves in. It is a dark, romanticized neo-Gothic telling of our modern world. As vampires, characters are forced to fight between their new-found monstrous urges and whatever remains of their humanity. The struggle against the Beast, the dark urges that exist within every Kindred, is one of the dominant themes of the game. Vampire: The Masquerade is a social game above all else, and entire sessions of play can go by with hardly a glance at one's character sheet, though this is uncommon. Players in the game are encouraged to think more about how they (their characters) would react as real people in the incredible and horrifying situations they find themselves in. This is a game in which players are encouraged to forget that it is a game. Thinking about how your characters, as real people, would react to events is something at makes the game truly engaging.
So, do you think you can walk in these shadowed streets? Do you have what it takes to be a monster? Are you really sure you want to find out? Go ahead. Trust me, it'll be fun.

The Bioenergy Research & Demonstration Facility, which opened in September 2012, is North America's first commercial demonstration of a community-scale heat and power system fuelled by biomass. The facility is a partnership between UBC and two of the world's leading developers of green technology – Vancouver-based Nexterra Systems Corp. and GE Energy. The facility is a "Campus as a Living Laboratory" project integrating UBC's core academic mandate (research and teaching) with the University's operations in order to solve societal issues at commercially significant scales.
Like many communities around the world, UBC is striving to meet its power needs while reducing its impact on the environment. The Bioenergy Research & Demonstration Facility responds to this challenge by demonstrating a small-scale power production that is relevant and replicable in other communities. The system provides heat and power to The University of British Columbia's Vancouver campus, facilitates research to develop feedstock and process innovations, sets new global standards for performance and emissions, engages the community at new levels, lowers the campus's greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), reduces fossil fuel consumption and showcases BC wood-based construction of cross-laminated timber (CLT), a low carbon and low environmental impact building system.
The innovative system has two main operating modes. The first mode, "thermal-only mode," uses commercially proven gasification technology developed by Nexterra to turn biomass into a clean synthesis gas or syngas. The syngas replaces natural gas used to produce steam and hot water to meet campus heating needs. In thermal Mode, the facility generates up to 20,000 pounds per hour of steam, approximately 25 per cent of UBC's base requirement. It eliminates 9,000 tonnes of UBC's greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs), the equivalent to taking 1,882 cars off the road each year.
The second mode, "demonstration mode" produces both heat and power. Electricity is produced using Nexterra's innovative syngas conditioning system and GE Energy's high-efficiency gas engine to power an electrical generator. Steam/hot water is produced by burning the surplus syngas, and impurities are removed during syngas conditioning and recovery of the heat generated by the engine. In demonstration mode, the system generates approximately two megawatts of electricity, enough to power the nearby 1,600-bed Marine Drive Student Residence. It also produces 9,600 pounds per hour of steam, approximately 12 per cent of UBC's base requirement. It reduces UBC's GHGs by 5,000 tonnes per year, equivalent to removing 980 cars from the road each year.
The facility provides faculty and students with the real-world opportunity to study, test, teach and apply lessons learned at the facility. There are also opportunities for UBC operations staff and academics to collaborate and enhance teaching and research.

Sand casting is suitable for larger cast products, with a weight of some tons.
Sand casting products are manufactured in both casting iron and casting steel. Sand casting is also suitable for non ferrous alloys.
Sand casting is a technique where liquid metal is cast in a shape in the sand. This shape is made using a 1:1 model of the cast. Each model consists of two model plates on which the cast including shrinking allowance is applied. This shrinking allowance is to compensate for the loss of volume during the cooling down process.
Because sand has a high temperature resistance, it is very suitable for materials with a high smelting temperature.
There are various quality levels in sand casting. There can be cast in black sand (rough surface), and in yellow sand (resin sand casting). The images display the sand casting process schematically.
The tolerance rate in sandcasting (NEN EN ISO 8062-3) is in the range between DCTG9 and DCTG11.

Ice Cream Sundae Honored by Today's Google DoodleJohn Cave Osborne
If you happen upon Google today, you'll no doubt notice the tasty looking doodle staring back you. It's in the form of an ice cream sundae, the two "o"s having been replaced by scoops of ice cream, one with a cherry on top for good measure.
Aside from testing your willpower, Google is paying homage to the sundae. It turns out that today is the 119th anniversary of the chilly treat which originated in Ithaca, N.Y, although that fact is up for debate. Especially if you live in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
For according to PC Mag, each of those two cities lay claim to the ice cream sundae. But as the site points out, it looks as if Google is siding with Ithica.
"On April 3, 1892, the Rev. John M. Scott visited the Platt & Colt Pharmacy and its owner Chester Platt in Ithaca after services at the Unitarian Church. Platt served up two bowls of vanilla ice cream, but decided to jazz it up with cherry syrup and candied cherry, according to What's Cooking America. The duo were so pleased with the creation that Scott suggested it be named after the day it was created, and the 'Cherry Sunday' was upon us."
But what about Two Rivers, you might be wondering? That story puts the discovery of the ice cream sundae in 1881 when a patron of Ed Berner's Ice Cream Parlor wanted an ice cream soda, but since such drinks were frowned upon on the Sabbath, Berners slathered the ice cream in chocolate sauce instead of soda. Yet according to birth records in the state of Wisconsin, Berners would have only been 17 years old in 1881, and thus unlikely at such a young age to be the sole proprietor of the parlor. Accordingly, the account is called into question.
Google honors all types of things with their doodle. Most recently, Google honored Robert Bunsen (who created the Bunsen Burner) on what would have been his 200th birthday. And while I like science just fine, I like ice cream more.
Which is why I'm glad to learn of the important anniversary today. I think I'll celebrate by taking the family to our favorite ice cream place, Bruster's. I wonder if the folks there know about the significance of today. Kinda cool it's a Sunday, no?

Tubby is going to get a large dose of culture shock going from the 23,000 seat Rupp Arena to the piece of cra_ called Williams Arena!
Alrighty then.
I can't really argue that. "The Barn" does suck, especially compared to Rupp.
Thank you for your large, colorful opinion.
Steve Alford will as well, going from the s*** hole called Carver Hawkeye to The Pit at New Mexico!

The Barn is a good college basketball venue. Put a team that can play on the court and it will turn into one of the toughest courts in the Big 10 and college basketball.

The Pit is a pretty nice arena, I think that is an upgrade in Alford's case.
And people might not remember, Williams Arena used to be a tough damn place to play. Back in the day, you pretty much marked any trip there down as a loss.

Everyone up her in the TC (just as pretentious as calling Orange County the OC, huh?) talks about how great the Barn is. I of course am spoiled by Hilton, but I just laugh when they say that. I went to the Cyclone Men's game this year, and was up in the seats that have an overhang, so you can't see any of the big scoreboard. They installed these little scoreboards on the periphery of the seating so those as unfortunate as I could at least see what the score was. Add in the sheer absurdity of a raised floor, and Hilton seems even more like paradise. Everybody talks about places like this having character, bu come on! I keep trying to convince people to go to the game at Hilton next year to compare who's arena is better!
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

If you squint, his post looks like Beast-Man
perhaps it was the expectations of a program that sells out a 23k seat arena every game that made Tubby go to Minnesota.... hows that for deep, profound insight?
I'm sure Bill's Arena can be a tough place when the team is playing well... just ask Steve Alford since he seems to be a favorite topic on this board in the last 72 hrs.
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
Thomas Jefferson, 1802
Guess I'm in the minority here but I really like Williams. I even made a trip up there specifically to see the place while I was at ISU. It's neat to see a place like that still in use...made me dream of how awesome it would be to have the Armory still in use. Guess I'm not a big fan of the new-style arenas...way too stale and uninviting. No character at all.
We're really spoiled having Hilton. I even saw someone write on the Hawk message board about how great an enviorement and how easy it is to create "electricity" at Hilton. Carver Hawkeye holds a lot, but I've seen Hilton only have 8,000 or 9,000 in it and still seem louder than a full Carver Hawkeye. I hope Pollards plan to add sky boxes doesn't screw it up.
The Barn will be a tough place to play with Tubby as coach of the Gophers. He just wanted to be somewhere where the fans would just show a little appreciation for his efforts. He averaged 26 wins in 10 years at UK and they have been planting "For Sale" signs in his front yard since his second year!
I cheer for two teams, Iowa State and whoever is playing the hawkeyes.
Originally Posted by wonkadog

Well I am in the minority as well. It is a great venue for basketball.
Not only that but I like Tubby's decision. It must suck being from Kentucky where winning 26 games a year for 10 years in a row isn't good enough. I applaud his choice to leave.
When I told the folks back home I was going to Auchtermuchty, they said "Wear the Fox Hat"
Is anybody else fired up for Tubby to come to Hilton next year for our game? I think it will be a really fun time.

text: Couple deny sex abuse charges 07 Aug 2014 A husband and wife have denied subjecting a mentally disabled woman to a shocking catalogue of rape and sex abuse while holding her hostage for almost 10 years in a so-called "house of horrors". Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast While 52-year-old Caroline Baker, wearing a navy jacket, green scarf and white blouse, stood in the dock of Craigavon Crown Court on Thursday, her husband Keith Baker, 57, remained seated in a wheelchair just outside the dock, wearing a grey shirt, brown trousers and slippers while flanked by three prison officers.The Bakers are jointly charged on five counts including the false imprisonment of their alleged victim on dates between 15 March 2004 and 20 December 2012, holding her prisoner with intent to commit a sexual offence, engaging in sexual activity with a person with a mental disorder, indecent assault and inciting a person with a mental disorder to engage in sexual activity, knowing that she had such a disorder and "knowing that because of it she was unlikely to refuse".Speaking in a quiet English accent Keith Baker, whose address was given as c/o Maghaberry Prison, told the court he was "not guilty" of six further charges of raping the same alleged victim, while his wife, speaking with a local accent, denied three counts of "aiding and abetting, counselling and procuring" her husband to rape the victim between the same dates.It has been alleged in previous court hearings that by "exerting manipulation and control" over their victim, she was kept prisoner in squalid conditions for years and was allegedly subjected to numerous bouts of rape and abuse by the married couple.During searches of their former home at Drumellen Mews in Craigavon, which has been described in court as a "house of horrors" and has had the windows and doors repeatedly smashed, laptop computers, cameras, recording equipment and mobile phones were seized by police for examination.The Bakers claim, however, that any sexual acts were consensual.Following their denials on Thursday, senior QCs for the defence and prosecution told Judge Patrick Lynch QC there were still applications to be dealt with before the case would come to trial.Prosecuting QC Toby Hedworth said given that and other medical and psychiatric reports yet to be sought about how the trial would proceed given the alleged victim's mental disorder, "it's not appropriate to seek to find a trial date today," and agreed that the initial date of 6 October was "not realistic".The lawyer indicated that even the trial would take around a month to be heard.Remanding Keith Baker back into custody and releasing his wife on continuing bail, the judge listed the case on 11 September for a review hearing and to discuss how the case will proceed. © UTV Share Share Share

Born April 23, 1974 in Traverse City, MI as the third of four children, Watson and family soon moved to a Richardson, TX - a Dallas suburb - where he began modeling at age eight.

One year later, Watson picked up and moved to L.A to pursue his acting dreams.

Sunshine has been the story of the day as we have rebounded into the 60s for us today. As temperatures drop tonight, clouds will begin to arrive with a cold front that is currently passing through Arkansas. This front could bring some drizzle to a light shower across the area overnight, with locations along and north of Highway 16 possibly squeezing out a snow flake or two. The main limiting factor is the amount of moisture in the atmosphere where snow crystals develop, which is why even the chance at seeing a snow flake is very small. I expect even locations north of Highway 16 to see all rain, but there is a very small outside shot at a snowflake making it to the ground. Obviously, no accumulations are expected.
Wednesday will see very strong northwesterly winds keep temperatures at bay throughout the day as we struggle into the mid 40s. With winds blowing between 10 and 20 mph, wind chills will remain in the mid to upper 30s through the day.
We undergo a small warm up on Thursday before another cold front arrives for Friday and knocks temperatures back down into the 40s with lows near 20 entering the weekend. Highs will climb back through the 50s through the weekend into next week before our next good shot at rain looks to come on Tuesday with a new area of low pressure developing in the Gulf.

Primary sources provide first-hand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under investigation. They are created by witnesses or recorders who experienced the events or conditions being documented. These sources are often created at the time when the events or conditions are happening, but they can also include autobiographies, memoirs, and oral histories recorded later. Primary sources are characterized by their content, regardless of whether they are available in original format like manuscripts, letters, or diaries, in microfilm/microfiche, in digital format, or in published format.
