Best Kids Parties: Beauty Queen
Name: Ruby Mae, 2
Location: Roseville, CA
Our sweet Ruby Mae just turned two, and since she was born we've called her "Beauty Queen." It seemed only fitting to use the nickname as inspiration for her Etsy-built birthday party.
Pink, gold & glitter (glitz, if you will) were the predominant color inspiration for this party. We held the party from 2-4pm on a Sunday and provided guests with a wide verity of sweets, cookies, macaroons, Oreo pops, and chocolate.
You can see more details and a list of resources over at Tiffany's blog, Lookieboo.
Thanks, Tiffany!

text: That is, what does it cover? I have a box of Freerunners beside me, but they've been purchased as a bulk order for 10 other buyers, so I don't want to open the boxes to see if there's any warranty information inside. My impression was that the 14-day warranty on single units and 28-day warranty on bulk orders was to cover DOA units only. That if the whole thing failed to power on despite charging, etc.etc. that it could be returned. Does the warranty cover more than this? ie: if we only have a 14/28 day warranty to return a broken Freerunner, who has communicated to us what defines "broken" ? There's obviously been a huge amount of traffic on the list today about the GPS unit in the Freerunners and Joerg has hinted at a possible hardware fix to follow a software fix in the kernel. Does our warranty cover "recalls" for fixes like this? If the hardware fix occurs after our 14/28 day warranty period, does that mean we'll have to incur some cost for the fix besides shipping the units back to OpenMoko? I'd also like to add this warranty info on the wiki. -id

An artist who in the past has correctly predicted what future Apple products would look like has released concept art of his guess at the design of the rumored low-cost iPhone.
Nickolay Lamm, an artist and researcher for MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, on Tuesday posted his concept art designs based on reports. They show translucent casings of many colors.
Lamm's designs show an iPhone that's reminiscent of Apple's iMac G3 desktops from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Those computers featured translucent plastic casings and came in a flurry of colors.

"The reason the iMac was made transparent was to make it seem less alien to consumers," Lamm said in a blog post explaining his phone design. "Before the iMac, computers were all in a box shape and in gray color. The ability to see inside the computer made the device seem less mysterious and much more personal."

I basically see it as Deron for Al and Hedo for Ronnie. The way I saw it, I'm not getting any major source of assists from anyone other than Deron each week and while I have a ton of big men, only Horford is my legit source of major stats. Hedo is putting up better stats than Ronnie, but Brewer is putting up solid stats and for me... was a good enough player to pull the trigger.
nice deal. for some reason it makes me feel very threatened....
I thought it was a good trade for both of us. my one weakness is assists. so deron gives me 10 a night. Hedo will give me 5 more plus i got a deal pending. I get plenty of rebounds from the other guys i have. And u like wat ur getting, so it all works out
You both seem happy with it and seem like you have improved in areas of need. I have just checked your teams and xbay, you look like you will be horrible in assists without Deron and Turkoglu, just terrible. Sure you aren't making a mistake here? Horford will be back soon and maybe Gooden, so you won't be so bad with big players.
As I said a few weeks ago, be nice if all five of us from here get the top five spots. Not sure d1mex checks the leagues much as he certainly doesn't come on here much

Sure I do have friends. Most certainly I have a few wonderful people who I adore and who I know love me too, and we have amazing times together. However, that doesn't mean that I don't sometimes wish for a few more.
I would also like to reassure you that I am not some kind of social pariah, but it seems awfullly narcisstic and fraudulent to say so myself, and my chap is currently preoccupied talking to my dog about rum and raisin brownies. *sigh* Oh well, rum and raisin brownie anyone?)

Jeff Phillips and I organized a workshop on Geometry In The Field at SoCG 2012. I haven't blogged about the workshop yet because Jeff and I are working on a more detailed report for the SIGACT Computational Geometry column, and I'll post it here when it's done.
Many people had asked me when the talk slides would be available, and I'm happy to announce that all the talk slides are now up at the workshop site.
I strongly recommend looking over the slides if you have the time: these were excellent talks by great speakers that gave a masterful overview of their specific areas, as well as challenges for the future.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) When the Vancouver Canucks and Columbus Blue Jackets have played each other this season, the goals have been few and far between.
Cory Schneider made 17 saves and Max Lapierre scored the shootout-winning goal and the Canucks beat the Blue Jackets 1-0 on Tuesday for their fifth straight victory.
The past two meetings between the clubs - both played in Columbus - have ended in a 2-1 result.
One was a shootout victory for Vancouver on March 12, and the other an overtime win on March 8 for the Blue Jackets.
Schneider saw just two shots in the opening period on Tuesday and eight total shots through 40 minutes.
``It's better than 40 shots, but it is challenging to just make sure you are sharp and ready and you haven't really felt a puck and sometimes it's nice to get a feel for it and just get your hands going and seal it up and stuff like that,'' Schneider said.
``I haven't really experienced a game like that at this level so it was a challenge.''
Schneider made a number of big stops in the third, including a few off Nick Foligno, who was easily the most dangerous Blue Jacket with six shots.
However, the biggest save came from defenseman Dan Hamhuis with just over a minute to play when he slid across to kick out Foligno's shot after taking a back-door pass.
``Just trying to help him out there,'' Hamhuis said. ``A desperation play, got lucky.''
Vancouver moved past idle Minnesota into third place in the Western Conference, and into the Northwest Division lead.
Columbus moved up one spot to 10th in the West, but that single point can be attributed to Blue Jackets goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
``He was by far our best player out there, he gave us a chance to maybe win in overtime,'' Vinny Prospal said. ``We don't score enough goals as it is and today I don't think we really played that hard as a team.''
While Bobrovsky entered the game with the league's third-best goals-against average of 2.17, Columbus also has the NHL's worst goals for average, with just 78 through 33 games.
Still, the 34-save shutout was Bobrovsky's third career shutout - with all three coming this month. He has been the major reason the Blue Jackets are 7-1-5 in their past 13 games.
``He was great,'' said Matt Calvert, who was stopped on the game's final shootout attempt by Schneider. ``His timely saves were the biggest thing for us tonight, he was great in the first period.
``We weren't generating a ton and we kind of settled in, tightened it up a bit, got a few chances here and there, but he's been our backbone all year and we've just got to support him a little more.''
Lapierre was the only shooter to beat Bobrovsky.
``I was going backhand all the way, I do it in practice, it works,'' Lapierre said. ``I closed my eyes, and pray and it worked.''
Lapierre, who usually plays on the third or fourth line and has just two goals this season, is 5 for 10 in his shootout career, including 1 for 2 this season.
``(The coaching staff) have been spending time in practice and both have said that Max has got some good moves,'' Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. ``If you look at his overall track record he's been near 50 percent. So, I don't know, it just worked out today. Sometimes it does.''
NOTES: Vancouver was without Ryan Kesler (foot), Zack Kassian (back) as well as forwards Steve Pinnizotto and Dale Weise. ... Columbus was without James Wisniewski, day to day with a foot injury. Brandon Dubinsky is also day to day with a lower body injury.

A few days after release, many players reported a glitch for Hitman: Absolution. Reportedly which caused the following issues:
Random freezing during the game, forcing players to reboot their systems.
Save files were also getting corrupted, without a way to recover these files.
Now it looks like developer IO Interactive has pinpointed the cause of the crashes and a patch is coming to address this issue on the console versions.
When is the disguise patch coming.
I've put this game down to play Farcry but Im hoping that patch is here by the time I pick it up again.
MAJOR disguise system design flaw (logic):
To build up instinct, one must be in danger or make kills.
To get best score, one must be perfectly silent and unnoticed.
To slip past people that are of the same role as the disguise you took, you must use instinct to discourage them from noticing who you are.
Violence = Instinct = Silence?

The Downing Street "Memo" is actually the minutes of a meeting, transcribed during a gathering of many of the British Prime Minister's senior ministers on July 23, 2002. Published by The Sunday Times on May 1, 2005 this document was the first hard evidence from within the UK or US governments that exposed the truth about how the Iraq war began.
Since that time, much more information has come to light through leaks of secret government documents and the accounts of an increasing number of people who have witnessed the administration's wrongdoing firsthand.
There is now in the public record a large body of evidence that vividly illustrates:
Even as the Bush presidency winds down, a recent Senate investigation final report shows how the administration manipulated information to overstate the WMD threat and conjure up a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Quaida that did not exist.
A majority of the American people now believes that the president intentionally misled our nation into war, and many more believe the sacrifice made in Iraq has not been worthwhile. This web site is intended as a resource to document the truth about how we were misled into war, so that we might avoid such a mistake in the future.

Panda Bear DJ set on NPR
edited April 2011 in Side Projects
Panda Bear does a guest DJ set @ NPR's D.C. studio. SPOILER ALERT: Some TOMBOY ACTION!! as well as Avey jams, Nirvana, Zomby, Forest Family, Dent May and more!! Check it!!  http://www.gorillavsbear.net/2011/03/30 ... st-dj-set/
Ahhh incredible! Great find!
woah, slow motion is really really really good too!
 I thought it was funny when he was too embarrassed to emulate the guitar sound in Slow Motion
he seems to be a painfully shy guy when he's not playing music, but he makes some really funny jokes here like when he talked about buying nevermind and saying he wishes he was zomby (i do too)
 NPR WILL BE STREAMING ALL OF TOMBOY APRIL 4TH!!!
[quote="Tabelz"] I LOVE THIS VERSION OF YOU CAN COUNT ON ME!!!!!!![/quote] oh god yes
oh and the slow motion mix i love it even more i'm so excited right now
I have just listened to this, i loved it, and i loved all his music choices, i was never into electronic music, but i will investigate those bands. So, AC are rehearsing for new material to play live? No record of new album then?
we know very little of what they're doing right now other than that they're in Baltimore rehearsing. That may mean recording, nobody really knows. I think time will tell after the tour starts up
They've mostly likely been recording since January.
Really? I think they're practicing and writing songs for the tour. THEN they'll record. That's what they usually do.
I bet they're just working on their plans for elephant hats. They're gonna be a hit.
I thought I heard Dave (Portner, not forum Dave!) say that they would record first and then play live just to see how it goes. Maybe I misheard him. Either way, we are going to see new material very soon
[quote="MoonDog"]I thought I heard Dave (Portner, not forum Dave!) say that they would record first and then play live just to see how it goes. Maybe I misheard him. Either way, we are going to see new material very soon [/quote] i think i heard so too! i really hope so the earlier the studio versions the better!
Oh. I thought they toured to see what worked when they played it live with a crowd. And THEN they recorded those tracks. I thought I remembered hearing him say this, but I do know he's said that they like to record how they would play it live. Or something along those lines. I'm paraphrasing, cats cradle.
Yeah, that's what they've always done. I think they wanted to mix it up a bit this time, ya know! Plus they all have families and stuff right now in different parts of the world, and I think they have to change the system around a bit
I think this way will be great. I can't wait until their new shows are recorded and hopefully posted on the interweb. Them mixing it up has never let me down before.
I'm just building my hopes up unrealistically high so that I'm super let down when it comes out. Wait...
Oh no no no, Dave. I don't think you'll be let down. I don't think they'd go on tour unless they knew they were ready and had a good set. I'm so excited to hear new stuff.
I was half-kidding, but I certainly hope you're right. Frankly, I just don't know how long they can go on topping themselves with each release.
Hmm... http://pitchfork.com/features/interview ... anda-bear/ I guess they haven't been recording, just writing. Cool. Can't wait to see what they are doing.... AHHH! And also Pitchfork posted their review already, not sure what I think of it... [img]http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj404qR0rJ1qatjbzo1_500.png[/img]
Dave, I agree with you. I'm a bit worried because it just doesn't seem possible to continue to get better with each album/performance. But they somehow do it! That's the mystery and joy of the Collective. And MoonDog, what is that on a scale of? Eleven out of what? I'll be a reading that right now. Thank you. I love this family.
Panda Bear - "Not into recording, but we've all been in Baltimore working on songs and getting a live set together since January. There are no plans to record-- nothing as concrete as going into a studio-- but we've got a couple of shows coming up in April, and we've been working on a live set for those.".... Oh, I hope they make plans to make a studio album soon! That'd be really sad to see a last show of theirs.
[quote="SpritBear1"]Dave, I agree with you. I'm a bit worried because it just doesn't seem possible to continue to get better with each album/performance. But they somehow do it! That's the mystery and joy of the Collective. And MoonDog, what is that on a scale of? Eleven out of what? I'll be a reading that right now. Thank you. I love this family.[/quote] thats the thing, expect the unexpected! i have a feeling they will top themselves/release at least an amazing album. im sure all the people who got into them earlier thought the same thing but theyll do something new and amazing i just KNOW IT i am a bit scared tho... also moondog yeah i heard the whole review is #teampandy #teampandy #teampandy #teampandy
Hah. That review's a joke Sprit. Pitchfork only rates out of 10. They haven't scored Tomboy yet.
Well, I'm not really worried about them dropping off. If it happens, then I've already gotten several days of great music out of this. If they make something else new and exciting, even better. I just don't think people can be endlessly creative. Some manage to keep the creative flame alive for a very long time, however.
To be honest guys, I think they're just having fun chilling out and bro'ing it up. They're getting reaquainted from not being around each other for a while. With all the stuff Avey's had to endure, he's probably been feeling alot better having his brothers around and writing/rehearsing for their live performances. I don't think we'll see anything new soon album-wise but as far as new material, I'm sure they got some up their sleeves. I'd figure trading tapes over long distances gets old after a while. It's refreshing to have others there to feed/bounce ideas off of as opposed to solitude. Avey and Panda for the most part both spent time writing/recording their separate albums in solitude and now that they're back together in their hometown I'm sure it feels right, like the good ol' days. Especially after each of them writing sample laden/very technical albums I figure just jammin' out as a band is a different experience. Plus I'd imagine both have left overs from Down There and Tomboy that will probably be reworked to fit within AnCo somehow. Below are interviews with Panda circa post Person Pitch/ pre ODDSAC and Avey Tare post Down There. There's also a good Rolling Stone article I read on Tomboy a while back. PANDA http://www.dustedmagazine.com/features/599 Rolling Stone http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... m-20110131 AVEY http://www.glidemagazine.com/articles/5 ... -tare.html
No doubt they're working on something new. Panda talks about it near the end of his article. I wouldn't expect a new album before 2012 (late this year at the latest), but we might get some new stuff being tried out in live shows a little sooner than that. Guess we'll see. For now, I'm exploring some new jazz since I need a break from listening to the music I know inside out. Edit: Not article, interview. Sorry.
They are "bro'ing it up" AND making new show material! I am so excited for it! I assume early 2012 for a new AnCo album. That'd be MY guess. But for now, I am happy with where it is all headed. mmm, yes please. And thank you for these interviews! I'm going to read them right meow. I love this site and all of you.
i love you too
This site is amazing. Everyone's family.
i'm gonna dj at the end of the worrrld!

ANNAPOLIS, MD – This weekend, the No. 2 Yale coed sailing team placed fifth at the Navy Fall Invitational hosted by the US Naval Academy, the largest intersectional regatta of the fall season. The Bulldogs also finished 18th at the Captain Hurst Bowl hosted by Dartmouth.
The Navy Fall Invitational began on Saturday with a postponement until 2:30 pm because of lack of wind. Eventually a Southeasterly filled, building up to 10 knots by the end of the day. Six races were sailed in these conditions on a "Harbor Trapezoid" course. Going into Sunday, the Bulldogs sat in second place, tied with Georgetown University in third with 138 points.
Sunday was forecasted to have big breeze gusting past 16 knots. However, Sunday's racing was sailed instead in a 10-12 knot Southerly that shifted farther east throughout the day. Another eight races were completed. Because the Annapolis Boat Show was taking place this same weekend, motorboat chop built during the day making racing increasingly difficult. A division crew senior Heather May said that "adapting to the new conditions, whether shifting breeze or increasing chop, was the key to a solid race." The Bulldogs worked to maintain consistent finishes and finished in fifth overall
The four-division regatta is truly a group effort. In A division, sophomore skipper Graham Landy and crew May finished sixth. Junior skipper Chris Segerblom and freshman crew Charlotte Belling finished fifth in a talented B division. In Laser Full Rigs senior captain Cameron Cullman finished fourth and in Laser Radials senior Claire Dennis placed sixth.
Another team of Bulldogs traveled to the Captain Hurst Bowl at Dartmouth. Only six races were completed on Saturday. The Bulldogs stood in 18th place after Saturday's racing. Due to lack of wind, no saiing took place on Sunday at all, not allowing the Bulldogs to comeback after a frustrating Saturday of racing. In A division, junior skipper Max Nickbarg and sophomore crew Sarah Smith placed 18th, just losing the tiebreaker to Eckerd College for 17th place. Senior skipper Emily Billing and junior crew Amanda Salvesen placed 13th in B division.
Next weekend, Yale will compete at the Sherman Hoyt Trophy hosted by Brown, the Oberg Trophy at Harvard and the Boston College Invitational at Boston College. These events will be the last regular season regattas before the Bulldogs start the qualifying process for Atlantic Coast Championships.

Explore Marbella
Marbella is the chicest resort on the Costa del Sol and has been a playground for the rich and famous ever since the 1950s, when the Rothschilds first arrived. Located between Malaga and Gibraltar, today the resort is where celebrities and Saudi emirs spend their summers and has lost none of its glitz and glam. The casco antiguo (Old Town) remains quaint and is still at the heart of the resort.

Iowa man arrested after money stolen at woman's home in Bartonville
BARTONVILLE — Several salespeople from Iowa came to Peoria County this month trying to sell Kirby vacuums, but after two days one had been arrested and their solicitor's permit had been revoked.
Bartonville Police Chief Brian Fengel said Aimee M. Crist, 25 of 3438 Heatherston Apt. 4 in Davenport and Dustin Delpivo, 31, of 2615 W. Central Park Ave. in Davenport, were granted a solicitor's permit on Jan. 12 to sell Kirby Company vacuums in the area. The permit was revoked Jan. 14 after he found they were using two employees not covered by the permit — Sean White and Benjamin G. Humphrey, both of Davenport.
Humphrey, 29, of 344 Heatherton Drive in Davenport was charged with theft under $300 after a 71-year-old woman who lives in the 2600 block of Daycor Divide in Peoria County reported $30 to $50 missing after White and Humphrey performed a free cleaning there Jan. 14. The missing money was not recovered.
Humphrey was released on bond from the Peoria County Jail and has a Feb. 26 court date on his theft charge. He has until Friday to pay a $150 city ordinance violation for soliciting without a permit in Bartonville.
He posted $175 bond and paid fee to Stark County, which issued a warrant for failure to appear on a marijuana possession charge in November 2013.
Police also said that on Jan. 14, Crist and an unidentified man came to her home in the 4800 block of Whipp Avenue in Bartonville. A resident wrote a check for $1,070 to Delpivo for a new vacuum to be delivered the next morning.
When no one showed up and phone calls to Delpivo weren't returned, the residents called police after canceling their check.
Midwest Elite is listed on Kirby's website as an authorized, independent Kirby distributor. Through an email, Halle Sminchak, Kirby's director of customer and public relations, said, "the relationship between the company and the distributorships is that of vendor and vendee. The company expects its independent distributors to operate legally and ethically."

Published January 13, 2015
Salvador Perez stroked a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning, and the Kansas City Royals held on for a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium.
Perez's shot snapped a 2-2 tie and the Kansas City bullpen was able to piece together 4 2/3 innings of one-run ball after starter Danny Duffy failed to get through five frames.
"I'm happy with the way I battled, left everything out there," said Duffy. "(Salvador Perez) came up with a bomb, as long as we're winning I'm happy."
Greg Holland closed the door in the ninth for his 39th save, helping the Royals draw even in this three-game set after they were blown out 16-2 in Friday's series opener.
Overall, the Royals have won 10 of their last 14 games and pulled within 3 1/2 of the second wild card spot with Tampa Bay's loss to Seattle on Saturday night.
Extending a career-worst stretch, Justin Verlander (12-11) now hasn't picked up a victory in six consecutive starts. He was tagged for all four runs on eight hits, striking out seven in the setback.
Miguel Cabrera knocked in two runs to push his major league-best RBI total to 133, but the Tigers suffered their fourth defeat in six games. Prince Fielder also had an RBI in the setback.
"We had some guys on, Duffy was a little wild and that's what we were kind of hoping for," said Tigers manager Jim Leyland. "We had some opportunities but we really couldn't take advantage of it."
Detroit took a 2-1 lead after loading the bases with one out in the fifth, but didn't take full advantage. The situation arose after Duffy walked two straight batters, which concluded his outing. Wade Davis (7-10) came in and forced in a run with a two-out walk to Cabrera, but induced Fielder into a pop up to end the frame.
The Royals tied the score in the home half, however. Jarrod Dyson walked, swiped second and crossed the plate on an RBI single from Alcides Escobar.
An inning later, with two out and Eric Hosmer on second base, Perez clubbed a two-run homer past the left center field wall to stake the Royals to a 4-2 lead.
Cabrera pulled the Tigers within one by recording the third single of the seventh for Detroit. His line drive landed in left and Brayan Pena scored, but the Tigers failed to get another hit the rest of the game.
Fielder opened a lead for the Tigers in their first turn at the plate, dropping a one-out base hit into right to score Austin Jackson from second.
Verlander gave up a double to David Lough to begin the third, but looked like he might side step trouble when Lough was thrown out at home for the second out of the inning. However, he wasn't so fortunate.
Escobar had reached first when the Tigers went home to get Lough on his ground ball, moved to third on an Alex Gordon single, then sprinted home when Emilio Bonifacio dropped a perfect bunt single down the third base line.
Game Notes
Verlander is 0-3 against Kansas City this season. He has recorded at least one win against them in each of the past seven years ... Duffy walked five over 4 1/3 innings, charged with two runs on two hits ... Tigers outfield prospect Nick Castellanos made his first major league start, ending 1-for-2 with a run scored ... The Tigers were 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position.

+1 to that - there are 3 roundabouts near me that are on a T intersection. A scarily significant number of drivers think they have the right to enter the roundabout at the speed limit when driving along the T and it doesn't even occur to them to slow down, let alone give way. I am constantly amazed that there are not more accidents & coose my route to avoid them when possible.

One man was killed and at least four were injured in shootings on the city's South and North sides, authorities said.
The fatal shooting happened about 9:50 p.m. Sunday in the 8000 block of South Normal Avenue in the Gresham neighborhood on the South Side, Chicago Police Department News Affairs Officer Amina Greer said.
Several men were talking outside when two gunmen approached on foot and opened fire, Greer said. The men scattered and the shooters fled on foot, according to police.
When police arrived, they first found a 36-year-old man shot in the foot. He was taken to John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County, where his condition was stabilized, Greer said.
Shortly after, police found a man unresponsive on a rear porch nearby. He apparently fled there after being shot in the chest, Greer said.The man died on the scene, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The man was identified as Clifton Balentine, 40, of the 6400 block of South Greenwood Avenue, by the Cook County medical examiner's office.
The homicide was the second murder of a weekend with 22 shootings, according to a police department spokesman. The same weekend last year saw 24 shootings and four murders, News Affairs Director Adam Collins wrote in an e-mail early this morning.
At least three more people were shot early this morning, according to police.
About 12:15 a.m., a 54-year-old man was shot in the ankle in the 9100 block of South Commercial Avenue in the South Chicago neighborhood, authorities said. He was taken to Advocate Trinity Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.
In a third shooting, a 53-year-old man was shot about 12:55 a.m. in the 8400 block of South Hermitage Avenue in the Gresham neighborhood. Police believe the man was walking into his home when he was struck in the lower abdomen. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where his condition was stabilized.
On the North Side, a 31-year-old man was shot in the arm about 3 a.m. in the 5500 block of North Kenmore Avenue in the Edgewater Beach neighborhood, police said. The man was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston, where he was listed in good condition.

It was altogether fitting Sunday that the winner of the first Peoria road marathon was competing in his first 26.2-mile race.
And it was anything but easy.
It was altogether fitting Sunday that the winner of the first Peoria road marathon was competing in his first 26.2-mile race.
And it was anything but easy.
Ansel Wachter, 23, of Peoria Heights overcame strained hamstrings during the last several miles to capture the River City Marathon in 2 hours, 54 minutes, 29 seconds, 80 ticks ahead of runner-up Jason Razo of Fort Worth, Texas.
"About Mile 22, I started having shooting pain in both hamstrings," Wachter said. "After training all spring in the colder weather, this hot, humid weather was definitely a shock to the body. I just thought of everyone at the finish line and wanted to see them."
Despite having to stop a few times to tend to his sore legs in those final five miles, Wachter, who just graduated from Bradley and works at Running Central, willed himself to the finish.
"Ansel has been training for almost a year and has really developed," said race co-director Adam White. "His hard work paid off big time today."
Perhaps the biggest challenge on a diverse course winding through downtown as well as scenic neighborhoods is the long straightaway on Madison Avenue intersecting the closing downhill stretch on Main.
"That two-mile visual is hard on the constitution when you've been racing for 22 miles," said White. "It's flat, but it's hot. I call it the death march. You see the stoplight on Main a mile and a half away. It's like an oasis in the desert."
Once Wachter struggled down Madison with no competition in close sight, he was home free.
"It's a huge accomplishment and gives me a great deal of pride to represent my store and my city," he said. "It's great being a part of something really special."
The inaugural marathon caught the fancy of Peorians who turned out in solid numbers at the start and finish downtown and along the route.
Many people perched in lawnchairs or on their front stoops sipping their morning coffee and cheering on the runners as they passed by.
A yard sign on Moss Avenue proclaimed, "May the Course be with you." Another on Rohmann Avenue complained, "Worst parade ever."
Some 20 water stops were set up along the way. But portable potties were scarce on the route, forcing a few runners into difficult situations.
The main issue, though, was the humidity, which was 81 percent at the race's beginning. Thankfully, temperatures stayed in the upper 60s to low 70s for the early morning hours.
But there were still a few heat victims. The marathon leader for most of the first 19 miles, 36-year-old Joshua Bannister of Peoria, dropped out of the race suddenly on Florence Avenue just after Wachter passed him.
While there was no official word on why Bannister retired, the heat was a likely suspect.
"I didn't know he had dropped out until one of the (course) bikers told me," Wachter said. "I passed him and didn't look back."
A paramedic on scene just beyond the finish line said no one was seriously affected by the conditions.
"We've had some, maybe in the teens, with heat exhaustion," he said. "But no heat stroke."
The weather didn't bother women's winner Jamie Hamilton-Vaughn, who finished in 3:09.15 — the seventh-best time among the 328 marathon runners regardless of gender.
"I got water at each station and feel pretty good now," said the 35-year-old physical therapist from Brimfield. "The course was nice. I do most of my training by myself, so it's fun to run with people and hear people in the neighborhoods cheering you on."
In the wheelchair marathon, Josh George of Champaign, won the closest race of the day, edging fellow Champaigner Gyu Dae Kim at the tape.
Winners in the 25K were a pair of Peorians — Andrew Jacobi and Lauren Fog. Noah Neace of Washburn won the men's 5K and Kelsi Finan of Peoria the women's 5K.
The marathon relay winner was the Metamora Fit Club.
"It was a successful event because we had such committed volunteers doing exactly what needed to be done," White said. "We were very prepared."

The Academic Technology unit supports and advances effective learning, teaching, scholarship, and community service with technology. Academic Technology:
There are 4 core areas of service within Academic Technology:
Consultations and recommendations on technical specifications for grant proposals are available to the campus community.
Online Teaching and Learning continues to grow at San Francisco State University. Today's students need SF State to accommodate flexible schedules, alternative course locations, different learning preferences, various levels of background preparation, unequal access to technology, and much more. Using the online environment can improve curricular and co-curricular success, by allowing faculty and students to share files, to interact and collaborate, and to assess progress as students, teachers, and experts in our disciplines. Currently, Academic Technology leads and coordinates development, training, and support for several different online teaching and learning tools, including:
iLearn (http://ilearn.sfsu.edu) is SF State's supported learning management system, which allows faculty, students, staff, and community groups to share course or project materials, facilitate interaction opportunities, and assess performance in many ways. Increasing numbers of faculty and staff use iLearn to coordinate committee work, funded projects, community service learning interactions, and more. The iLearn home page lists the latest announcements and system status, useful tips and tricks for using iLearn, and links to help and technical support resources for both students and faculty.
CourseStream (http://coursestream.sfsu.edu) is an online environment which provides a variety of streaming media options to students enrolled in certain large classes. Students can view a live webcast, with synchronized PowerPoint slides and video recorded lecture, or review the archive in webcast or podcast format. Students can also search an entire semester of lectures by keyword and then jump right to a specific point in a video clip for easy review.
ePortfolios (http://eportfolio.sfsu.edu) are electronic portfolios of student and faculty work, which provide new opportunities for assessing achievement and learning outcomes over time, as well as presenting an evolution of work in response to interactions with instructors, mentors, and classmates. ePortfolios are also being actively used by students to connect with and further their career development.
Online Teaching and Learning responds to emerging needs with new technologies and approaches that enable engaging teaching and learning experiences both in and out of the classroom. Online meeting spaces with web-based video conferencing (e.g., Elluminate) allow students to participate in interactive class meetings from home, work, or other off-campus locations. Online collaborative software, (e.g. ThinkTank), facilitates 100% student participation in brainstorming, critical thinking, peer review, and other interactive exercises. Plagiarism detection software, (e.g. Turnitin), allows students to check their written work for proper citation before submitting it to an instructor. More needs and solutions, such as podcasting, will continue to emerge each year.
Media Distribution and Support ("Distribution") provides faculty with formatted media and technical equipment to meet their classroom and other instructional purposes. The University media collection includes over 20,000 videotapes, DVDs, laserdiscs, CD-ROMs, films, and multimedia kits. Academic Technology acquires these materials based on faculty input and provides a web catalog of all holdings at <www.sfsu.edu/~avitv/AV.mediacatalog.html>. This is the major university collection, though separate film and video archives exist in the University Library. Library Media Services, built and maintained by the Library and AT, provides students and faculty with access to both digital and analog video and computer tools, and with a cable television connection to all types of media held by the unit.
Equipment provided by AT to faculty in support of classroom instruction includes laptop computers, video projectors, multimedia integrated carts, slide projectors, audio and videotape recorders, video presentation carts, student response systems (clickers), and digital cameras. A complete listing is available at our distribution web site (www.sfsu.edu/~avitv/distribution.html). AT distributes and maintains media and equipment either over the counter, through requested delivery & pick up, or via Cablecast.
Although the Library provides the core technological services for students, AT also works with students by advising them at the distribution counter, answering their technical questions, and showing them various types of equipment. AT also shows students how to set up the equipment they want to use for their presentations. AT provides a valuable service to students when advising them to bring in their laptops to determine their compatibility with our LCD projectors and troubleshooting their problems before their presentations.
Academic Technology currently oversees and maintains 100 enhanced classrooms, 6 enhanced meeting rooms, and 2 enhanced theaters. AT plans, designs, builds, installs, and maintains instructional electronic equipment throughout the campus. The campus television network, electronic classrooms, and mobile electronic teaching platforms are examples of services provided by this area. AT also has a comprehensive electronic/optic/mechanical facility for equipment fabrication, maintenance, and repair.
AT designs, installs, operates, and maintains all radio and television microwave links for the University, including C-band, Ku-band, and DBS satellite connections, an extensive campus cable television network, and a series of teleconference facilities across the campus. Using these services, faculty experiment with new teaching strategies; participate with their classes in satellite-based seminars; and both originate and receive distance education programming from around the state, the nation, and the world. To learn more about these services, visit www.sfsu.edu/~avitv/teleconf.html.
Faculty use AT's creative services to create media to meet their classroom instructional needs using a wide variety of resources, including digital video and photography, computerized graphics, and virtual environments. This media is used to develop self-teaching videotape modules, distance education on-line courses, multimedia packages, and Power Point classroom presentations. Continuing support for faculty using slides, overhead transparencies, and charts is available. Video streaming, video conferencing, and teleconferencing are also supported in this area.
The Division of Information Technology (DoIT) offers a wide range of technology services to the campus community: Internet/e-mail accounts, 24-hour computing lab, help desk support, campus-wide software licenses, and on-line services via the web. Students have access to on-line registration, grades, financial statements, class schedule searches, class schedules, address changes, transcripts, and Internet/e-mail account requests. Internet/e-mail accounts can be used for e-mail, dial-in modem access, publishing a personal web page, programming course work, and on-line research. Additional instructional computing tools are available to students in support of curricular activities provided through agreements with other CSU campuses: social science database archives, business databases, geographic information systems, etc. Some of the current campus-wide software licenses DoIT distributes include Microsoft Office and Visual Development Tools, Oracle databases and application development tools, and anti-virus software. Faculty have access to on-line class rosters which list student names, e-mail addresses, web page links, and some prerequisite information. DoIT also provides instructional computing support to faculty requiring on-line course work, video streaming, database administration, specialized IT training for classes, and administering listservs.
The John F. True 24-hour computing lab allows students to have access to computing resources with connectivity to the Internet and standard software applications. In total, over 1,500 PCs and Macintoshes are available to students, supported by the colleges at SF State. Many are general purpose computing labs, offering standard software applications; others are specialty labs, with discipline-specific software (www.sfsu.edu/~doit/labs.htm). Over 300 dial-in modems provide remote access for the campus community. All classrooms, computer labs, and on-campus housing have high-speed network access. There are a number of computer workstations on campus designed to meet the needs of students with various kinds of disabilities.
The Division of Information Technology offers free short courses and workshops throughout the year to faculty, staff, and students on basic, intermediate, and advanced skills in computers--from word processing and spreadsheets to graphics, databases, and web pages. In addition to the courses, technical assistance is provided via the web (www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk), e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com), phone (415) 338-1420, and walk-in (ADM 110).
Administrative functions within the division support the technology infrastructure that is key to running the University. In addition to the areas named above, there are staff which enhance and maintain the intercampus networking, Internet/e-mail servers, web application development, telephone services, campus-wide administrative systems (student information, financial and human resources), data center operations, and equipment services.
During the next few years, the Library building will be under construction for an expansion, renovation, and seismic retrofit. Check the Library's web site for the most up-to-date information regarding services and collections www.library.sfsu.edu/about/building/index.php.

Alison Brie — Crush of the Day [PICTURES]
Alison Brie is best know as Annie on 'Community,' and Trudy Campbell on 'Mad Men.' She is our crush today because we are tired of hearing 'why hasn't Alison Brie been a Crush of the Day' yet from everyone we've ever spoken to ever.
Don't get us wrong, we dig Alison Brie a whole bunch. We think she is adorably hysterical. She is truly adorkable, though we promised never to use that word again. Stuff like this won us over.
We were just never in a rush to make her the crush because we hope to be here for a long time and we were going to get around to her eventually. We thought it kind of obvious to point out the amazingness of Alison Brie. People just wouldn't stop pestering us about it, so here she is, in all her glory, Alison Brie as the 'Crush of the Day.'

Incorrect Greek Details in Acts 10-11
Posted 06 September 2012 - 12:43 PM
The instant details say that this form comes from μη, δε, and εγω. However, Liddell Scott record that the form actually comes from μηδε and αμος.
It is a classical term that only occurs twice in the GNT. I think Liddell Scott is correct and the instant details need changing.

1124 is the entry for μηδαμα (μηδαμως is listed in the morphologies). It is adverbial, as you say. I'm not sure why you then say its adjectival.
On p85, there is possible evidence that αμος is related to a pronoun (but derivation is not the nature of that relationship). The lexicon tells us that αμος is used for εμος (that does not mean derived from or dependent on) and is semantically equivalent with τις. If one keeps looking, one will find that this form has evolved from an old Doric form (αμα on pg 75) that explicitly connotes time in adverbial relationships.
So, there are 2 views of this etymology- one including a relationship with the pronoun τις (though "morphologically dependent upon" is not in view) and the other tracing the odd suffix back to a Doric form that explicitly does time jobs. I think the latter view has more weight, and explains why this old word is do infrequent in the GNT.
To the tagging- at the very least, I think εγω should be replaced with τις in the instant details. I have not found any mention of εγω when looking into this etymology. If you still defend the use of εγω in this instance, I ask that you please give a reference, so all may be blessed.

So have the Accordance scholars come to a consensus yet?
The tagging is maintained largely by one of our scholars who rarely checks the forum…if it hasn't been already, we'll forward it to him to check.

Senator Wants Stories of Government Causing Problems
Submitted: 04/08/2013
- Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is planning to launch a series of videos featuring people who he says have been harmed by government intrusion or red tape. The first term Republican says he was looking for a way to help the public understand the dangers of a growing, abusive government. The lone video posted so far describes an Illinois landowner's dispute with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Senate staff assembled the video and Johnson narrates it. He says showing people real faces behind the harm government can cause resonates with the public. Johnson asks people to contact him with other stories for his Victims of Government series. He says neither he nor the video is anti-government. He says what he opposes is large government.(Copyright 2013 Associated Press - All Rights Reserved)

Quote from: Matthies on July 07, 2009, 02:40:53 PMIts the third largest gay pride parade in the county. Whod of thunk? Certainly not people who think accurately. There's just absolutely no way this claim is clue. It's a cool expression of civic pride, but let's be realistic here. I'd imagine the local media was tripping over itself with self-congratulations with an attendance nearing 100,000 people. Which is great and all, but let's contextualize. New York, San Fransisco, LA, Chicago, DC, Boston will all have at least three or four times as many people as Denver, each of them easily clearing 300k people (maybe not DC, but it's close). I'd expect Miami to soundly beat Denver as well under normal conditions. But keep up the good work anyway. And for @#!*'s sake, do not apply to liberty university school of law under any conditions.
Its the third largest gay pride parade in the county. Whod of thunk?
I think by "biggest" they mean "biggest parade" as in longest, its like 3 hours from start to finish
Quote from: Matthies on July 08, 2009, 04:14:22 AMI think by "biggest" they mean "biggest parade" as in longest, its like 3 hours from start to finishWell, this is just weird. I mean, why not choose any arbitrary metric? Kansas City has the fourth largest parade (as measured by the participation rate of residents of the three closest counties, excluding those under 14 and over 75).And besides, I take it you're not planning on running for city counsel on this slogan: Come to Leisurely Denver, home of the third slowest gays in the country! Then again, if you did I'd vote for you. Twice.
And two more things:(1) Now NO political group is "sponsored" by Liberty University - Rs, Ds, Libertarians, or any other political persuasion. Political groups of all stripes will not receive any funds from the school, but may still coordinate with the school for classroom space for their events. Thus, the College Democrats are now back on line ... they just have to raise their own support, just like everyone else.(2) For this summer, I, a student from Liberty University School of Law, got a job at a highly regarded mid-size law firm in downtown Denver making $1,000/week. I would like to know how many of the other posters on this thread are currently enjoy comparable employment situations. My estimate is virtually none.
...many decided to attend the school for reasons other than its religious affiliation....
Quote from: liberty student on July 10, 2009, 07:30:34 PM....... Furthermore, a substantial amount of the students are liberals (including myself) and many decided to attend the school for reasons other than its religious affiliation.Really? Are you certain? A substantial number of liberally minded students would bypass dozens of law schools, liberal meccas to attend a provisionally accredited law school in the rural south? That they would decided to attend to reasons other than its religious affiliation? This is beyond logic.
....... Furthermore, a substantial amount of the students are liberals (including myself) and many decided to attend the school for reasons other than its religious affiliation.
Quote from: liberty student on July 10, 2009, 07:30:34 PM...many decided to attend the school for reasons other than its religious affiliation.... I suspect the religious affiliation of the school matters little if at all to most people that end up there...
Okay, so 'little if at all' is an overstatement on his part, but the fact that the institution is batshit crazy doesn't necessarily mean that every (or even most?) students there are.
Agreed.I just wish people would spend more time researching their choice of school and see they're getting into. I can't imagine investing 3 years of my life and nearly $100,000 unless I had complete and totaly certainty what I was getting into.Consider this little nugget that I found in someone's review of Liberty:Please let me start by saying I was a great Christian going into Liberty. After I left I was scarred both physically, mentally, and religiously forever by they things I saw and my experiences in this school. The only thing good about this school are the teachers and the friends that I made. My time at LU was akin to going to a military school. Please don't think that anyone cares about you or who you are if you attend this school. All they want is money and "christian" fame. They pride themselves on christian worldview but it is mainly just right-wing, unproved, biased hogwash. I was told as I woman that my main job in life was to serve my husband and have no other goals than childbearing. I was crushed. They have a type of police that live in the dormitory halls that are called RA's -- their main job is to suck all the fun and joy out of your life. You are always being watched, criticized, and judged. who else do you know that goes to church 6 times a week? I was at a rough place in my life when i attended LU and I was pushed through the disciplinary system so exhaustively I might as well have been in chinese prison for 3 years. I ended up with over 500$ dollars in reprimand fines (like I said--all they want is money) for staying at a same sex (not even a boys) friends night with out the much needed RA "permission". Liberty keeps files on every singe student. People are try to befriend you and act like your mentors are actually allowed to go into these files and write thier opinions of you. Its like a facebook "what do you think of me" file. They act all high and mighty. as my final straw instead of kicking me out a dean told me oh so sweetly that I "just didn't belong at liberty university anymore". That was after she interrogate me during finals week for 4 hours, put me in her car against my will and made me under duress drive to my friends house to turn him in also and therefore ruin his future for staying at the school. I was such a mess I had no idea what to do and I slashed a 5 inch gash on my arm like a total emo kid and she didn't even care. She said I deserved it and that I would be punished by GOD.If you are a student and ANYTHING happens to you. Please remember that they are a university not a police force. YOU never, ever, ever have to talk to them. You can do to your dean's meeting and just sit there. They have no control over you. I wish someone has told me that. It would have saved me so much anguish and agony. They have no mercy and they always think the worst of you even if you are innocent.Please, do not go to this school. I have been to 4 colleges and although Liberty was better than other ones I promise you, it is a type of cult and if you don't belong it can cause physiological and emotional scars that may never heal. To this day, almost 3 years after my liberty experience. I still pray that the dean who interrogated and abused me will be judged in the end, that her marriage will fail,and everything that she holds dear be taken away because when she kicked me out of liberty she took away some of my dearest friends and I will never forgive her for that. I will never forgive her for not treating me as a person, for not respecting me, for using her authority to do unauthorized and illegitimate things to me. Please do not give your money to this school.


text: I have grown to love the design of the Eternal water heater and have been installing them almost exclusively. All customers have been very very happy with their new heaters. Finally installed one in my house recently (it sat gathering dust awaiting a slow day). All I can say is 'wow'; the performance is awesome. Furthermore, I installed a Metlund pump in my kid's bathroom to speed up the delivery time and everybody is happy. I highly recommend the Eternal heater. I have sold 3 of them in the last week, awaiting a decision on a 4th.

Law School Admissions / Re: UF VS. FSU« on: September 30, 2007, 01:01:24 PM »
I'm not too into the education system in Florida. Go outside the state if you can. Or go to Rollins College in Orlando.
Only go to Rollins if you need to feed your coke habit and you want to take advantage of excess supply and deflated prices.
Okay, I think this diverges from the main point of the board, but when someone puts down my alma mater, I must reply.
If you get a scholarship to Rollins, it's well worth it. I went there for UG and I've never dabbled in drugs... and I think it's safe to say the majority of Rollins students haven't as well. Don't buy into the hype.
Granted, the whole blue-blood, trust-fund, rich-kid stereotype, while blown way out of proportion, is rooted in some truth. I think when I started, something like 60% of the incoming class didn't get any financial aid (at over $40k between tuition and room/board per year, do the math on how rich you have to be to afford THAT). However, in the last few years Rollins has taken great strides to increase the number of smart, not-as-well-off students in their ranks. They've added many full scholarships.
That being said, you will get an amazing education at Rollins. It is an excellent liberal arts institution in a wonderful location. You'll have small classes (I think the largest one I had throughout my entire time there had 25 students), you'll get to know your professors really well (great for recs), and hopefully, you'll graduate with a broad understanding of the world and a deep appreciation for learning (which, I guess is the point of the liberal arts education).
I'm not saying anything about the intelligence there. I've had family members that went to Rollins. They were coke heads. Just like every other person I know that went to Rollins is a coke head. Smart kids.....but they do a lot of coke.
Your biased sample is definitely NOT representative of the student body at Rollins! Seriously, take it from someone who just graduated. You must have only been familiar with certain circles. The majority of the school is not like that.

This summer marks five years since Imbibe magazine made its debut, which also means it's been five years that I've been writing for them. To celebrate this milestone, the folks at Imbibe are holding a cocktail contest, with the winning drink taking prime place on the cover of the May/June issue of the magazine.
That issue also happens to be the one that will be distributed to thousands of attendees at Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, and there's a reason I'm bringing that up. Y'see, if your cocktail is selected as the winning entry, not only will your drink get the place of honor on the magazine cover, but you'll win a Founder's Day pass to Tales, which covers access to seminars, the cocktail hour, and a bunch of other things guaranteed to be fun and boozy. And since you'll need a place to sleep it off, you'll also get a four-night stay in a King Deluxe room at the Hotel Le Marais in the French Quarter, and you won't even be forced to bunk with me.
To enter, you need to have your recipe finalized and submitted no later than March 10, 2011. The full details and contest rules are here; if you think you've got the winning drink, then get shaking and send in your recipe, and I hope to see you at Tales.

Report: Gas Spurs Rethink on Smaller Pickups
March 12, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Report: Gas Spurs Rethink on Smaller Pickups
Rising fuel prices have General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC taking a second look at peddling smaller pickup trucks — vehicles that the Detroit Three auto makers abandoned in the U.S. amid weak demand.
The Wall Street Journal reported that GM is planning to revive its Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon in late 2014, and Chrysler is considering a replacement for its Dakota. Both see the vehicles helping them to hit higher fuel-economy targets and to regain market share from Toyota Motor Corp.'s Tacoma, the current top-selling small hauler.
"We believe there will be a growing number of pickup truck buyers in the future that will want fuel economy," GM North America president Mark Reuss said."With our new trucks, we will be saying: Here is something really fuel efficient."
A return represents a risk for Detroit's auto makers, which haven't been successful in convincing buyers to downsize to smaller trucks, and which carry smaller profits.
GM halted production of the Canyon and Colorado last August and had no upgrades ready due to its 2009 bankruptcy filing. Chrysler quit making the Dakota in 2011 after years of unimpressive sales. Ford Motor Co. dropped its Ranger pickup in the U.S. in 2011 and hasn't looked back.
Barclays Capital estimates auto companies earn between $7,000 and $10,000 on each full-size pickup because they command higher prices in dealer showrooms, while midsize trucks bring closer to $3,000 to $4,000 a vehicle.
"The market is small. It is very small. So you have to be careful when you explore the opportunity to get back into it," said Fred Diaz, chief executive for Chrysler's Ram truck brand. "One thing we do know, we want a vehicle that has high miles per gallon to help us with our [corporate average fuel] economy needs."

Style # 206265
Sheer lace neckline and comfy fit make this bebe top a luxe way to dress up bottoms. Wear yours with a nude cami and a pair of hip-hugging jeans.
- 92% nylon, 8% spandex
- Center back to hem: 22" (56 cm)
- Cami is not included
- Machine wash according to care label
- Made in USA with imported materials
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
Sheer Flower Lace Top is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordan524 from Another Great Bebe Lace Top!! Every spring, Bebe puts out a slightly different version or two of these stretchy lace tops...and, every spring, I just have to have them, because they are amazing!! The fabric is very soft, feels expensive, and is just clingy enough to look sexy, without feeling tight at all...which is important during those hot summer months. Unless you're super-daring, you would want to wear a cami underneath, because the lace is see-thru...but that's what I love about these tops. You can change the look by changing the color of the cami you wear. I bought the coral, and it's a gorgeous color for summer, especially if your skin is tanned. My bust size is 32A, and the P/S fit just fine on me, but would definitely have enough stretch to fit a larger size. Based on my previous experience with the tops that were made of the same material, they wash extremely well, keep their shape, and hold up to normal wear, even though the fabric appears delicate. A definite must have for summer...
Date published: 2013-05-20
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jillian from Love this top This is such a great top. I have it in white, coral, and black. It is a see-through lace, so I bought Bebe's seamless cami in white and nude to wear underneath. (The cami has a shelf bra so you don't have to wear a bra). The lace material is very soft and has a nice stretch to it. I was worried it might be too delicate of a material, but it is great. I have worn mine many times, and the tops still look new after many washes. I have also gotten the tops caught on things a few times, but you can't even see a snag.
Date published: 2013-05-06
Rated 5 out of 5 by EJ2013 from YOU NEED THIS IN CORAL FOR THE SUMMER!!! Ladies, don't sleep on this super sexy top. It is see through the lace so be sure to wear a bra that you want to show or something else underneath. I got this top in hot coral and it complements my tan skin tone! This top is the kind of top that looks great on anyone, just get it...I wish it were available in black!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by LolaBee from Sexy&Sheer. Its a very nice top and very delicate. Also it does not include the nude under layer that's in the picture.
Date published: 2013-03-23
Rated 5 out of 5 by SewerGal from Soft and comfortable I purchased the white top, and the material is very soft and stretchy. Because of the stretch is hides any imperfections by not being skin tight. I would love to have this top in every colour. Good job on this one Bebe.

DURHAM — The University of New Hampshire football team will try to do something Saturday it hasn't done since 1976, when coach Sean McDonnell was a player: clinch a league championship at home.
That year the Wildcats polished off UMass, 23-0, to win the Yankee Conference title.
The program's last outright championship came in 1994 when UNH and Boston University engaged in an epic battle at BU's Nickerson Field, won by the Wildcats in overtime, 52-51, for their 11th and last YC title.
UNH earned a share of the Atlantic 10 crown in 2005, but will be going for its first outright CAA championship Saturday when its hosts Towson at Cowell Stadium (noon, CSNNE, 3:30 p.m. tape delay).
"We've been waiting for this for a long time," said junior offensive tackle Seamus O'Neill. "Obviously it's our goal to win the CAA. Now that we have the opportunity everyone on the team is all excited. When we're out there practicing everyone's hooting and hollering and calling it 'ring week' as they say."
A victory over the Tigers would also give the Wildcats an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
UNH and Old Dominion are tied atop the CAA standings at 6-1, but the Monarchs are ineligible for the league championship because they are moving up to the bowl subdivision next season.
"The kids have worked very hard for this," McDonnell said. "Give them a lot of credit. They've done everything we've asked them to do and put themselves in position in November to play for a championship. Not much more you can ask for as a college football player."
Four teams are deadlocked at 5-2 going into the final weekend of the regular season, including Towson. The Tigers must win to keep their postseason hopes alive
"It's very exciting," said junior cornerback Chris Houston. "We've got a chance to do something great."
The No. 7 Wildcats (8-2, 6-1 CAA) have won six in a row and are coming off a bye week. No. 19/16 Towson (6-4, 5-2 CAA) has won three in a row and four of five.
The Tigers routed Rhode Island last week, 41-10.
"This is a team that's getting better as the season gets longer," McDonnell said. "I think they've found a rhythm."
UNH is 22-1 in its last 23 games at Cowell Stadium. The Wildcats have won 10 straight at home, including four in a row this year.
"We're playing here at the Dungeon which means a lot," Houston said. "We're playing great at home. We'd like to keep that tradition going."
It won't be easy. Towson has many of same players back who defeated UNH last season for the first time, 56-42, in Baltimore.
Terrance West rushed for 261 yards and four touchdowns. The Wildcats lost despite 35 first downs and 611 total yards.
However, they committed four turnovers and gave up too many big plays on defense and special teams.
"That was a rough loss last year," O'Neill said, "but we're focusing on the opportunity we have now and winning the championship. That's motivation right there."
The Wildcats gave up five scoring plays of 45 yards or longer, including 69- and 72-yard TD runs by West and a 93-yard kick return. They also had an interception returned for a touchdown against them.
"We made it really clear to (the players) that defensively we did not have one of our better efforts against them last year," McDonnell said. "It's always good to remind people how you competed in the game the year before. They tore us up pretty good."
The Wildcats will be looking for some takeaways Saturday. They're second in the CAA in turnover ratio at plus-10 while the Tigers are eighth at minus-7.
"We've got to tackle and make plays when the opportunity comes," Houston said.
Towson quarterback Grant Enders is second in the CAA in total offense and third in passing.
"Their quarterback is phenomenal," McDonnell said. "He has won games with his arm this year and he's broken games open with his legs."
Wildcat QBs Sean Goldrich and Andy Vailas have combined for 24 touchdown passes and only seven interceptions. Both are expected to play Saturday.
UNH is second in the CAA this season in total offense and Towson is first in total defense.
"They've got some good football players over there," McDonnell said. "It's a team that's got to win to get into the playoffs. Now they're hungry too."
The Tigers have played a tough schedule. Their league losses have come against Old Dominion and James Madison. They've also lost to FBS opponents Kent State and LSU.
Towson had back-to-back road wins at Villanova and Delaware to begin its three-game win streak.
"The great thing about Saturday is it's an opportunity to do something special that hasn't been done here in a long time," McDonnell said.
