We’d just put down our champagne glasses from 2004; now we’re hoisting them again. No miracles, bloody socks or Yankees this time, but another playoff comeback and Series sweep. It was just so painful to have to wait three years. The most-storied team in NBA history, dormant since Larry Bird’s heyday, is reborn as a title threat with a new Big Three: Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. Chemistry frets are soothed by the league’s hottest start....
When looking for a cooling sheet set, Mitchell recommends opting for organic and breathable materials, which will help with moisture regulation if you sweat, and opt for a thread count in the 200 to 400 range. We researched dozens of sheets for hot sleepers and evaluated them by material, breathability, sizes available, ease of care, and price. Here are the best sheets for hot sleepers on the market today....
Radamel Falcao moved from Atlético Madrid to Monaco in the summer transfer window for a reported £50 million fee. In January he was the victim of an ill-timed challenge which caused a tear of his anterior cruciate ligament. This will almost definitely rebound upon Monaco’s title aspirations and with the World Cup around the corner could be devastating for Colombia. The assessment of this injury is that it will leave him out for roughly half a year, by which time the season will be over and so will the World Cup....
THE WAY HIS NEIGHBORS ON THE streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., tell it, Nushawn Williams has never had it easy. Their charges: His grandmother smokes crack. He has no idea who his father is. His mother has prostituted herself and even made his little sister turn tricks in front of their apartment in order to support her drug habit. And his uncle, the man of the house, is in and out of jail....
Marketers already know that millions of Americans just like Garberg are hooked on the Net. New data show that, on average, Internet users dial in for nearly 9.5 hours a week. But as users like Garberg spend more time online, social scientists are rushing to collect data about how they behave–and buy. Their hope: to reveal broader societal shifts and document how the new technology is changing lives. For e-businesses that depend on shoppers like Garberg, what they learn about the lives of Netizens will be invaluable....
As fans, we often tend to forget, that players at the end of the day are professional footballers and playing football is as much a job for them as a journalist covering the news or how an architect plans a design or a director. While there has been always talk about the privilege of how certain footballers should consider themselves lucky for being at that club, it is never that simple....
For Pullman fans, this kind of plucky self-confidence must sound familiar: it’s Lyra Belaqua, the novel’s crafty protagonist, who travels from Oxford to the Arctic Circle–aided by armored bears, flying witches and a truth-telling compass that only she can read–to rescue her kidnapped best friend. Richards read the trilogy with her mother when she was 9, then fell in love all over again when she saw the National Theatre’s stage version of “The Golden Compass” a year later....
In reply, England were on a fairly steady course until Peter Siddle decided to join the party with the ball, picking up two wickets in 12 balls to leave the Poms at 52/2. It will be a fairly difficult task as the home team needs to put in yet another sterling performance with the bat. Here are the quick flicks for the game: Michael learns to rock, “Westlife” pops him out...
There’s been enough newsprint generated by the performance, the sledging, Jonathan Trott and the breakdown of Anglo-Australian relations (nothing new there) to destroy a rain forest of reasonable size. I’d make just three comments on it. First, when will we realise that international teams need more than four or five days of practice in foreign climes to be ready for the serious stuff? Not all that long ago, teams arrived and played five or six warm-up games which gave all concerned an opportunity to acclimatise....
When I met him he was still immensely shy, but he did all the arrogant and show-off things that make you dislike someone on first sight. He was giving an interview in his parents’ apartment and there were enormous posters of Bardot everywhere. We went out to dinner and then to a nightclub. Serge asked me to dance, which was very kind of him, and then he stepped on my feet and I realized he couldn’t dance....
The Batman’s opening weekend has revealed the world was incredibly hungry for plenty of Bat-action, however, any new entry or take for the character comes with the reminder that the superhero is a man of many layers. And thus, among the few early criticisms directed either at Matt Reeves or Robert Pattinson is that their caped crusader is too one-dimensional. That assertion is not without merit as throughout the almost three hours of The Batman audiences get to see less of Bruce Wayne than in any other iteration, and when he’s on-screen they’re left with something that is nothing like the billionaire playboy he’s been made up to be in pop culture....
Pattinson’s The Batman will bring forward a new version of the hero, which will be quite different from Ben Affleck’s version of the Dark Knight. Fans will get to see the vigilante in his early days of fighting crime and facing one of his arch nemesis the Riddler, portrayed by Paul Dano. The two characters unite in the new motion poster revealed by director Reeves. RELATED: The Batman Japanese Trailer Has Fans Thinking They’ve Spotted The Joker...
The promotional artwork for The Batman isn’t anything that spoils the plot of the film, nor is it a screenshot from the actual movie itself. It does, however, give fans a little bit of an idea on what to expect from the dynamic between Batman and the Riddler. RELATED: The Batman: The Strangest Part Of Robert Pattinson’s Batsuit What fans got was a creative image that teases this new darker take on the Riddler....
Speaking on their official blog the team spilled the beans on some of the game’s plot: The team has also treated us to a fantastic looking new trailer, which you can watch after the jump: httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxHV5n6AkSI The Behemoth added that we can expect more details (such as release date) to emerge over the coming months, so keep your eyes peeled to the site for the latest updates. There is as of yet no word whether or not BattleBlock Theater will be released on the PS3, but seeing as their previous release, the fantastic Castle Crashers is still expected to be cross platform we can assume that it will be arrive on PSN sometime after the Xbox 360 release....
Of course, The Bella Twins chose to step up to the challenge, replying to WWE’s tweet with a voluntary post. The Bella Twins are probably the most dominant tag team the women’s division has ever seen. If there was any team to back, it would probably be them. The duo were scheduled to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as a part of the Class of 2020. They will now be “officially” inducted along with the 2021 class....
