Leprechaun Loose in Alabama —

NBC 15 news broadcast
that covered this interesting phenomenon reports that: "eyewitnesses say the leprechaun only comes out at night. If you shine a light in its direction, it suddenly disappears." Make…

Philippine Urban Legends (Jose Rizal was Jack the Ripper) —
Status: urban legends
An article from the Philippine Daily Inquirer
records some Philippine urban legends: the "White Lady" of Balete Drive, Robina Gokongwei's "snake twin" lurking in department store dressing rooms, the elusive "kapre" that lives in an ancient mango tree near the Emilio Aguinaldo house in Kawit town, and Andres Bonifacio's love child from a place aptly named Libog (now Santo Domingo) in Albay province. None of those mean much to me. But most of the article is devoted…

After seeing this beautiful blanket in the (awesome!) Mollie Makes magazine (Issue 10), I had to try crocheting this throw for myself. Everyone in my house has a hand knit blanket and I really wanted one for myself :)
This is a nice beginner pattern and, after a little help from some crochet expert friends (Meg and Hilary), I've been able to memorize the square pattern pretty quickly.
I've changed the color design because I wanted to use up the stash worsted weight yarn I had (provided mostly by Hilary!) and decided to save my money to buy the KP wool to crochet all the squares together. The color I picked is like a very light pinkish cream and was suggested by Meg. I love it.
Time to crochet a square: 8 minutes Square size: 5" Number of Yards to make one square: 15-17 Number of squares I plan to make: 121 Layout of squares: 11 x 11 (this way, I hope to have at least a 55" x 55" throw when it's finished) Color Square types: half of the squares with 3 colors and half of the squares in one solid color…alternating between them in the layout.
Yay! Can't wait to sit, have some tea and read while cozy under my new blanket :)

Inauguration time in DC is exciting but also crazy. In my line of work I've had the good fortune of covering inauguration activities from various vantage points – the Capitol, the Mall, from an Inaugural Ball. And while there's no doubt that watching a president take the oath of office fills me with the pride of being an American I also feel stressed, rushed, crowded and, my least favorite, freezing.
If that didn't scare you and you still want to brave the crowds (seriously, this is your last warning!) here are the basics for playing the part of civilian observer Monday on the Mall: The Associated Press estimates you'll be surrounded by 600,000 – 800,000 of your closest friends. Security screening gates will open at 7a. If you have tickets they'll have gate entrance info printed on them. If you don't, don't even try to sneak your way in, just head to designated areas on the Mall for public viewing. More details here.
Prefer to watch from a bit of a distance?
Boundary Road will be open for lunch at 12p and will be projecting the event on the big screen.
Later that day, Rock & Roll Hotel is hosting its own "Inaugural Ball" ("tuxedo t-shirts highly recommended!")
Hungry? Check out Eater's round up of the various inauguration-themed specials around town, including on the Hill at DC-3, where you can try their Egg-Nauguration Breakfast Dog for $4.99 (a breakfast sausage served on French toast butter loaf with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and maple syrup)
There are plenty of inauguration events and packages at area restaurants including at The Liaison and Art & Soul, but they'll cost you. If that doesn't hit the mark, you can "Swing for the Swearing In" (and bid on some cool salon dinners and vacation getaways) Saturday at what is billed as Capitol Hill's inaugural ball, hosted by Capitol Hill Village.
Thirsty? DCist lists the 154 district bars (starting this week!) that are offering extended hours. These places will be able to serve liquor until 4 a.m. and stay open indefinitely until January 22. Plenty of Hill spots are featured, including Little Miss Whiskey's, Pour House, Trusty's, Rock and Roll Hotel, and the list goes on. Check out all of the bars who will have you celebrating inauguration into the wee hours here.
Oh and last but perhaps certainly not least (in fact this may be the most critical for your sanity) Are you playing host to out of town guests for inauguration? You'll be looking for ways to entertain them. As a shameless promoter of Hill East, why not have them check out Congressional Cemetery, which is offering free docent-led tours on Saturday in honor of MLK Day and Inauguration weekend. Tours begin at 11a and will continue every half hour, with the last tour leaving at 12:30p. All tours will meet at the Chapel on the cemetery grounds.

As far as the problem definition, if you are only getting one workbook back from one team, I don't get why you are copying the changes over to Master, which is basically just a copy anyway. What's the difference between the one the team changes and your Master? Or are you getting multiple workbooks back from multiple teams that have to be merged back into a single copy?
Regardless, Microsoft has designed Excel to handle this very situation. Save your master workbook as "shared", then distribute it for people to mark up. Then when they send the changes back, you do a Tools | Compare and Merge workbooks. It will also keep track of what changed, similar to how Word does "Track Changes."

Country's Best Guitarist – Readers Poll
Country musicians aren't really prone to arguments about who's a better guitarist than who compared to players and fans are in other genres. It's not a format know for skillful pickers, which is unfortunate because hiding behind the stories that define country music are talented musicians who are capable of keeping up with just about anyone in rock or blues. Which country guitarist do you think is the best right now?
Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Vince Gill are the first three names one thinks of when pondering this question, and indeed all three are on the ballot. Also added are newcomer Casey James — who shreds all over his debut album — and the acoustic proficiency of Taylor Swift. Granted, she hasn't shown skills as a lead guitarist like the others, but her progressions lead to very interesting songs. Vote below, and as always, if you think we left anyone off the ballot, tell us in the comments section below.

So you're in a relationship. After months of drunkenly ambling about in clubs attempting to attract the opposite sex like an alcoholic peacock, you've finally struck gold. However, no relationship is perfect, and you've inevitably come across your fair share of issues in your fledgling romance. Here are the 4 most common problems men have with relationships.
"She thinks we should spend more quality time with each other, but I just want to go out drinking"
Problem: At times you probably feel conflicted between your understanding that being in an adult relationship requires you to behave like an adult, and your inate desire to consume a lot of alcohol before getting sick on your shoes. Your girlfriend, out of concern for your deteriorating health, has suggested that you perhaps lay off the drinking for a while, and that you spend some quality time together. "She's trying to change me", you probably thought to yourself. "This is where it starts. First she doesn't want me to drink one weekend, next thing I'm spending my Saturdays weeding the driveway. I need to get out of here!"
Solution: In truth, it's completely within the realm of possibility for you to balance spending time with both your girlfriend and your liver, but logic and reasoning are irrelevant when you've already booked a one-way flight to Magaluf.
"She gets annoyed when I fall asleep straight after sex"
Problem: In an ideal world a woman's orgasm would be just the same as a man's. It'd be easy, quick, and followed by the type of indeterminable regret that can only be cured by sleeping. However, in reality it is much more complicated, and following the point of climax many women appreciate a cuddle. Some even want to talk. Imagine that. Imagine having a body that is actually capable of conversation after sex. Insanity. Unfortunately, your habit of turning your back to her and falling straight to sleep isn't as charming as you may think, with her stating that your emotional distance from her following intercourse makes her feel "a bit like a prostitute".
Solution: In order to successfully avoid a post-sex confrontation whilst simultaeously enjoying a good night's sleep, you must administer the Hug 'n' Roll.
"We argue over ridiculous things"
Problem: It's been said that arguments are beneficial in a relationship, but chances are whoever said that had never been involved in an hour-long debate concerning who left bacon out of the freezer. While you expect to have conflicting ideas with your girlfriend over important topics directly affecting your relationship, you did not expect to spend your Saturday afternoon screaming at each other over you forgetting to record the Great British Bake Off, or that she found one of your pubic hairs in the kitchen sink.
Solution: Spending so much time with each other will inevitably lead to you both discovering things about each other that you may dislike, but how you express your dislike of these things is what will either make or break your relationship. For instance, discussing your problems in an adult, civilised manner will likely lead to you resolving those problems. However, angrily chasing your girlfriend around the house with a hammer will likely lead to your arrest.
"She keeps saying that she's bored"
Problem: In the majority of relationships, men are the "settlers". Whereas women will more than likely be the ones looking forward to the future, men would happily spend their weekdays doing nothing more than playing video games and going to the pub. Inevitably, this will lead to her growing bored, which will then lead to you having to get off your arse and pretend that you're not boring.
Solution: Fun is often associated with spontaneity, but you needn't spend every weekend throwing yourselves off of the edge of a mountain to get the spark back in your relationship. Simply spend more time with her, go to nice restaurants, and if that doesn't work then at least you've still got the mountain as a solid plan B.

General David Petraeus has sounded an alarm about the planned burning of copies of the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by the 50-member congregation of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida. He believes that, "Images of the burning of a Quran would undoubtedly be used by extremists in Afghanistan – and around the world – to inflame public opinion and incite violence."
Such concerns are, of course, not unfounded, given the past practice of adherents to shariah (a.k.a. "extremists," according to Gen. Petraeus and the Obama administration) who seize upon any real or perceived slight to Islam in ways calculated to enforce submission to its dictates. Usually, these involve the actual use or threat of violence against innocents.
Afghans burn an effigy of Dove World Outreach Center's pastor Terry Jones during a demonstration against the United States in Kabul, Afghanistan, Monday, Sept. 6, 2010. Hundreds of Afghans railed against the U.S. and called for President Barack Obama's death at a rally in the capital Monday to denounce the American church's plans to burn the Islamic holy book on 9/11. (AP Photo/Musadeq Sadeq)
In this fashion, individuals, groups, and mobs engaged in violent forms of jihad greatly facilitate the efforts of those so-called Islamic "moderates" who seek through other, non-violent means the same goal: the triumph of shariah and the establishment of a world-wide caliphate to rule in accordance with it.
It is no exaggeration to say that the latter may be even more dangerous than the former, particularly to societies like ours which afford enormous latitude and protections to those who profess to be simply practicing their faith, irrespective of how seditious its purposes may be, so long as they do so peaceably. Certainly, the combination of the two – the violent and the stealthy forms of jihad – poses a grave, and possibly mortal, peril to America.
For this reason, the sort of warning David Petraeus has issued is deeply troubling. It can be used to justify the suppression of any effort to challenge, let alone counter, such behavior here in the United States. Already, some have claimed that efforts to prevent a shariah-promoting imam from building a mosque near Ground Zero risks inflaming Muslims around the world – resulting in new death and destruction being meted out against Americans.
In the face of such threats, the temptation is great to refrain from objections to shariah's ever-more encroaching demands, such as: the construction by its adherents of mosques wherever they like in America, regardless of legitimate community concerns; accommodations uniquely for Muslims (e.g., footbaths and prayer rooms) in public spaces and at taxpayer expense; government-sponsored and underwritten financial arrangements deemed to be "shariah-compliant"; support for funding terrorist regimes such as Hamas and Hezbollah through charity front groups; censorship of any criticism of political Islam and jihadists; a U.S. foreign policy that increasingly hostile towards Israel; and the introduction of shariah law into U.S. family law and other judicial proceedings. But yielding to that temptation simply dooms our society to the end-state demanded by this totalitarian program's adherents, namely our submission.
One can properly object, in principle, to book burnings of any kind. Or, one can argue that the publicity-hungry pastor of a tiny Gainesville congregation may have the legal right to burn Qurans, but – to paraphrase President Obama on the Ground Zero mosque – it would not be wise or right to exercise it. Either way, those who oppose shariah in America should also oppose this stunt.
The risk is that, were one to take statements like General Petraeus' to their logical conclusion, any objection to the Quran-derived program of shariah could be deemed an endangerment to our troops overseas. The result of such a practice would inevitably be to put at risk here at home both the American people and their Constitution.
Obviously, it behooves U.S. government officials, whether civilian or military, to dispute such extrapolations as they have, after all, sworn a solemn oath to support and defend that very Constitution from all enemies, foreign, and domestic. In that connection, it would be helpful if Gen. Petraeus, who was careful in his factual characterization of the possible impact of the book-burning on the challenging task of force protection, were to recognize this need and affirm it publicly.
By so doing, the general could help minimize the chances that anyone, particularly those supporting Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his financiers, might try to extrapolate his comments in an attempt to demonize or otherwise silence the 70% of the American public who oppose the Ground Zero mosque – and who are fast learning that to protect the Constitution of the United States of America, they must oppose accommodations to the imposition of shariah law.

I think they can beat each of the remaining teams on the schedule but if they lock up homefield advantage with a 14-0 record, Dungy might start resting guys. My guess is they'll lose 1 game, probably against Jacksonville or Seattle.
My vote is for Sea. Has been for 3 weeks.
I don't see the Colts getting beat at home, or against Jax because of them being conference rivals.
I think we'll lose to Jax, then again to either Seattle or Arizona while resting our starters.
14-2 is my vote.
No we won't go undefeated.
Honestly, the only teams left that can TRULY beat us are Jacksonville and SD. Seattle would NOT win, I'm almost sure of this. Giants should have won, and we are better than them.
In reality, we'll lose one of those games, and likely Arizona, due to resting of starters. I see 14-2.
PS (Ok, I'm adding this to this thread....since the threads were deleted, could someone post the link to the site where it shows a map of the US and what games will be shown in which region? Thanks!)
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I don't think we'll lose to the lefwhitchless jags
Yeah the Jags really would have to pull off an upsest. and please san diego stands about as good a chance as the Steelers, whoops.
12-0 and still going!

Check out the bad journalism from espn/AP.
Manning, Harrison, James set records vs. Jags
Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts triplets were again setting milestones at a frantic pace Sunday.
Marvin Harrison became the 12th receiver in league history to top 12,000 yards receiving in the first quarter against Jacksonville. He did it on the Colts' opening drive, catching a 36-yard pass to top the mark and then catching a 10-yard TD pass from Peyton Manning to extend the duo's NFL record to 92 touchdowns.
In the third quarter, Manning and Edgerrin James got their own accomplishments.
On the opening drive, James became the second-fastest player in NFL history to top 9,000 yards rushing. His 8-yard carry with 11:29 left gave him 9,003 yards in 93 games. The only player to do it quicker was Eric Dickerson, who accomplished the feat in 82 games.
Manning completed the drive with a 27-yard TD pass to Reggie Wayne. That gave Manning 25 touchdown passes this year, extending his NFL record to eight consecutive seasons with 25 or more.
Harrison now has 10 TD receptions this season and is the only player in the league to reach double-digit touchdown receptions each of the past seven years.
Jacksonville's Jimmy Smith also entered the day needing 51 yards to reach the 12,000-yard mark. It would be the first time in NFL history two receivers topped 12,000 yards on the same day.
"He wanted to get to that money time. Time when the hardware was on the table. That's when Roger was going to show up. So all we needed to do was stay close"
Darnell Hillman (Speaking of former teammate Roger Brown)
That's funny!
2007 Super Bowl XLI Champions!
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
I was listening to ESPN Radio the other night, and Erik Kuselias said if the Colts go undefeated for the entire season, in his mind, that would be the greatest feat any team has ever accomplished in any sport.
Agree? Disagree?
EDIT: Don't ask me why I was listening to him...
If we go 16-0 AND win the Superbowl, I may begin to agree. Maybe.
Greatest in any sport? I dunno. 19-0 would have to be the best NFL season ever though.
Maybe the great single season feat ever. Dynasties probably would beat it though.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Colts have won 20 out of the last 21 regular season games. Only loss in that last game against Denver last year which 2nd stringers played in..
Why Not Us ?
You know, it's only now that I've seriously considered the fact that we are the favorites to win the Superbowl. As that started to sink in, I got a little uneasy. I remember going 15-1 last year, including a win over , yet they still blew it in the playoffs, and Tom Brady got another ring to tell everyone how golden he is. I'm wondering if an AFC team will do that to us this year? Probably not NE, but what about Pittsburgh? Or Cincinatti? Denver?
I'm sorry - that's my mistake.Originally Posted by Destined4Greatness
He did say this regarding only American national leagues - like NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, etc.
But I'm mainly going to worry about the Bengals and Broncos.

Why Basement Finishing?
Make the most out of your basement! A basement finishing costs about 50% of the cost of a new addition in your home and Remodeling Online reports that a basement rodeling can increase the value of your home by as much as 97% of the cost of the installation! If your basement is a cold, ugly, concrete room, you have a great opportunity to meet with a contractor, draw up a plan and basement remodeling contract, and change the basement into your favorite room in the house!
If you want to keep the largest room in the house as a damp, ugly, unfinished basement instead of working with a contractor to transform it into a beautiful, dry and finished room, then you have no reason invest in a basement remodeling. However, here are some examples of what your basement could be:
- A newly finished basement family room with a TV, couches and games
- A naturally private and quiet professional basement home office
- A basement play room with children's play toys and games
- A home gym in the cellar with fitness equipment, weights and exercise mats
- An attractive and sophisticated basement combination wine cellar and humidor
The best way to make this happen is to have a basement remodeling contractor install basement finishing and remodeling products that form a barrier between the cold, damp basement surfaces and your finished basement living space. Your walls should have a solid, free-standing cement board and hard foam insulation so you can attach shelves, cabinets, pictures or a plasma TV anywhere on them without needing to find a stud. Soft finished insulated basement paneling will not be able to support this. Soft board insulated basement wall panels will make an inferior partition if you'd like to build a basement bedroom, basement bathroom or mother-in-law's suite in the remodeled basement. Basement windows and egress windows should have double-paned low-E glass and a vinyl frame for optional home insulation and soundproofing. A drop ceiling is a great way to soundproof to absorb noise between the remodeled basement and the floors above. Finished basement floors should be laid down so that they block water from the basement floor, cannot rot or support mold growth and are not as cold as the concrete basement foundation floor. All finished basement surfaces should be resilient to water damage and have a class A fire retardant rating.We can refer you to a basement remodeling contractor who will help you turn your basement finishing ideas into a basement remodeling plan that is best for your home improvement plan. They will be fully trained and certified and will have passed our rigorous standards. Our basement contractors are locally owned and operated and can finish your basement with the best mold resistant, water resistant, and fire retardant products on the market. Our basement experts use products that come with a written warranty and are made to last for many decades to come. If you'd like a free, no obligation estimate from a local basement finishing contractor, contact us for a remodeling price quote today!
Basement Remodeling Adds Living Space
Remodeling a Basement
As housing costs rise, it's important that you make the most you possibly can out of your home. Of all the areas in the house where you could do a home improvement, finishing and remodeling a basement is the most underestimated and ignored way a home improvement contractor can inexpensively increase the home's value and living space. An unfinished basement is usually the largest room in a house, and it's surrounded by damp basement walls and cellar floors, humid air, and it's a dark and ugly space that is only useful as storage. And even as basement storage, you'll need to worry about mold!
If you could add a large, finished room to your home, what would you do with it? Would you have the contractor add a family room, or would you want a finished bedroom and bathroom? Maybe a finished game room with a pool table?
Finishing your cement basement is a home improvement investment that increases the value of your home by tens of thousands of dollars! As time passes and the housing market improves, your home will naturally appreciate in value. You'll realize that hiring a basement finishing contractor to remodel your basement will pay for itself and will give you beautiful new living space. And if your basement finishing includes insulated basement walls and insulated basement floors, the home will be easier to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. A basement finishing can save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on utilities! And having a contractor remodel the basement will make your home easier to sell when the time comes.
Basement Designs
The most exciting part of finishing a basement is sorting through all your basement ideas to find the best basement finishing plan for your home makeover. A basement is a great area to finish- it's a large, naturally quiet, private room. Where building a home addition would require you to extend the foundation, plumbing, wiring and your heating and cooling ducts, your basement will already be equipped. This means you can spend your money on having a basement renovation contractor beautify and customize your finished room instead. Here're just some of the things you can do with a newly finished basement:
- Finished Basement Children's Play Area
- A Home Gym in your Cellar
- A Basement Guest Room or Mother-in-Law Suite
- Remodel the Basement into a Home Theatre or Family Room
- A Quiet Basement Private Office or Personal Library
- Wine Cellar or Basement Wet Bar
- Renovate the Basement into a Game Room with Pool Table
- A Peaceful Basement Arts and Crafts Room
- With the Basement Plumbing Installed, Make a Private Spa and Hot Tub Area
A good basement finishing and remodeling contractor can improve your home quickly and painlessly. Since the work is in the cellar, the basement remodeling experts do their job away from the rest of your living space. A quality basement finishing system should be able to be installed without dust, debris, dry wall mess, or excessive noise. An average quality basement finishing contractor should take 5-10 days to complete the home improvements proposed on your basement finishing estimate. Most quality basement remodeling products are ready to use right away after installation and cost almost 50% less than constructing a new finished room without the homeowner sacrificing any space in your lawn or adding on a new area to heat and cool.
Your basement remodeling project will improve your home's value by as much as 97% the cost of the basement finishing job. Your whole family will love your new finished living space! As with any home improvement, only the best home renovation contractor will do the job that you're hoping for. We research all our basement remodeling contractors carefully so that you get only the best locally owned and operated basement remodeling contractors available!

" HeatArt / Type: Mounted Wall Panel "
We wanted an extra heat source in our bedroom for chilly evenings or mornings but for the ones that were not cold enough to need the whole house heating up with the central heating or for in the worst of winter when the radiator just wasnt enough to get the room as warm as we wanted. I didnt want something which looked out of place in our bedroom so when I came across this I fell in love instantly.
Who would have ever thought you could get a picture for your bedroom wall that doubled as a heat source and you dont just have to have any picture as you can get these custom made with any picture you like if you dont want one of the designs they offer.
The first thing you need to do before purchasing one of these is measure your room as they are available in a variety of sizes ranging from a 200 watt for a small room to a 1000 watt for a large room.
We have the 500 watt size which is suitable for rooms 7 meters squared up to 13 meters squared.
You then get to pick your frame that you want it to go in so you can tailor it to fit with any room decor you like, we opted for white as we have white furniture in our bedroom but there are lots to choose from so should be something to suit everyone.
There standard pictures are lovely as they have nature photos, animal photos etc, we opted for a leopard to go on ours as I love big cats and it would fit with the other art work in our house and ornaments in my bedroom.
Depending on what you opt for will depend on your final price, ours cost me £150 which may seem a lot for a room heater but when you think it only costs 5 pence an hour to run it really does save you money on your heating bills in the long run so this is how I justify such an extravagant purchase.
Setting it up couldnt be easier either as you simply mount it to the wall with the screws and fixings provided and just plug it in to the electric socket and away you go.
The heat generated from this is great, it is almost instant too as soon as you turn it on so gets used first thing in a morning when we are waiting for the radiators to warm up a lot, it was something I wasnt sure about wasting so much money on when I could have got a standard heater for a lot less but I am realy glad I did as it does look beautiful and works really well so I would recomend it to anyone who is looking for an elegant heat source.
We bought an old house a few months ago that had no sufficient heating so we were looking for additional heating solutions and stumbled upon HeatArt.
What we liked to begin with were that the panels look like pictures on the walls and only need a power plug to work since installing an entire new conventional heating system or enhance the existing one would have cost a fortune and also would have left us with living on a building site for at least a few weeks...
We ordered one panel to test it and it loved it instantly: The panels heat up very fast once on and the heat feels way better than that from normal heaters. They also use up very little power to heat which makes them also cheapter than gas or oil when actually used.
We used the picture version for the living-, bedroom and kitchen and for the bathroom we took the mirror version. It looks really nice and you don't even notice there's a heater in the room. Also I love that I don't have to dust off the inside of heaters anymore... I hated that. ;)
Great alternative to normal heating systems!

The Suburban Dragon and giveaway, an Aunt Betty review
Garasamo Maccagnone- author, Al Ochsner – illustrator
published 2007, 50 pages, paperback
I have one copy to give away to one lucky commenter. Leave a comment and tell me the name of the lucky recipient. I will draw a name on April 30th at 10 am. I'll ship anywhere.
Aunt Betty says
Funny- hilarious! It has so much energy and excitement for a young reader to intertwine with throughout the story. Each page gave way for even reluctant readers to use their imagination and enjoy. The children I read this to were so anxious to find out what each new page had in store and they were not disappointed. The illustrations and using a dragon character were perfect for K-3rd graders. A great family read and personal favorite!
Leave a comment to be entered for a free brand new copy of Suburban Dragon!
My Aunt Betty has been an elementary school librarian for 24 years. This is not surprising because she loves kids and kids appreciate her enthusiasm. It is because of her that I enjoy a close relationship with my 7 cousins (later, 9). She always had all of us over for sleepovers and other outings. All 9 of us would cram into her Rabbit for trips around town. You never see that anymore
I asked around for words to describe Aunt Betty and these are the words that came back the most…Happy, Caring, and Thoughtful. As for me, my top three choices are Fun, Kind, and Full of Life.

The clue is in the title. This is a book written by an American for Americans. About a game and a passion that Americans (of the Caucasian variety at least) largely do not get. As such, it will do a good job of fostering whatever preconceptions its target readership brings to the table. For readers who call the round ball game "football," tend to scoff at American "helmetball" and know at least as much about football as the author, it may prove less successful.
I'm unsure how much Franklin Foer—a senior editor at The New Republic—actually believes in the twin theories he propounds throughout this book: in brief, that football can be used to explain the world and that local societies are reacting to globalization with a return to nationalism. I suspect he's just trying to milk a nice gimmick for all it's worth, but I did once take a similar stance in the early 1980s so I'm prepared to be open-minded on this one. At the very least, Foer's angle offers a fresh if largely superficial approach to a sport that has been deeply entwined with the politics and culture of Europe, Latin America, and elsewhere.
How Soccer Explains the World
Franklin Foer
An (unlikely) Theory of Globalization
(Harper Perennial)
Certainly, Foer's opening chapter is a good one. "How Soccer Explains The Gangster's Paradise" details the relationship between the football club Red Star Belgrade and the Serbian paramilitaries who committed atrocity after atrocity against Bosnians and Croats in the wake of the collapse of the former Yugoslavia. The notorious Zeljko "Arkan" Raznatovic's Serb Volunteer Force (or Arkan's Tigers) started as a group of 20 Red Star hooligans, peaked as a body of 10,000 well-trained fighters and was responsible for thousands of deaths. In Belgrade, Foer speaks to Arkan's successors—loosely speaking—as the leaders of the Red Star fighters, to a former Tiger and to his flamboyant widow. The ex-Tiger is particularly well painted:
"A Croatian, a cop; it doesn't make a difference. I'd kill them all."
In his second chapter, "How Soccer Explains The Pornography Of Sects," Foer addresses the Protestant-Catholic hatefest that is the Glasgow Derby. Of course, mindful of his audience, he spends more time vilifying Glasgow Rangers and their hatefully bigoted Protestant supporters than he does on the equally unpleasant and bigoted Catholic supporters of Glasgow Celtic. That aside, he does a good job of describing elements of the complex relationships at play, including the fact that the clubs themselves profit from the sectarianism of their supporters, and he should be commended for taking a trip to Belfast with supporters of both faiths to explore and make clear the roots of the divide between the two clubs. But he misses the subtleties that would mitigate against the apparent starkness of the Glasgow divide, and this is the root of my problem with much of Foer's book. Make no mistake about it, he writes well, he gives good anecdote, he describes some interesting characters and tells some interesting stories, but I'm not convinced he actually gets football and I distrust him as a writer and an analyst.
I cannot claim any expertise on the experiences of Nigerian imports into Ukrainian football ("How Soccer Explains The Black Carpathians"), the corruption that is apparently rampant in Brazilian football and politics ("How Soccer Explains The Survival Of The Top Hats"), or even the history of Jewish football ("How Soccer Explains The Jewish Question"), but I'm reasonably well-informed on the English game, and when I see Foer claim that "based on death toll—more than one hundred in the 1980s—the English were the world's leading producer of deranged fans," my bullshit detector immediately kicks in. You see it is absolutely true that the English set the trend in European football hooliganism, but in claiming that English hooligans killed more than one hundred people in the '80s, Foer reveals either a complete lack of understanding or a total ignorance of English football history.
The truth is that English football supporters were far from the lethal killing machines Foer would have you believe. I'm aware of a single Tottenham Hotspur supporter, who died in 1982 after a fall from an escalator in a London Underground station during a chase, and there may have been one or two similar isolated incidents that I can't recall from the '80s, but Foer's fatuous claim is clearly based on just two major disasters.
The first is the Heysel Stadium Disaster of 1985 when, before the European Cup Final between Liverpool FC and Juventus, hooliganism, awful policing and an utterly unsafe stadium combined to cause a wall to collapse and 39 people to die. The second is the Hillsborough Disaster of 1989 when 96 people died during an English FA Cup Semi Final. I could write a book about Hillsborough, others have, but all that needs to be said here is that there is absolutely no justification for attributing the deaths that day to football hooliganism. As Lord Justice Taylor's inquiry into the tragedy confirmed, the 96 died because of overcrowding and incompetent police control at a badly maintained and unsafe (literally—the Hillsborough ground held no valid safety certificate) stadium. The truth about Hillsborough is well documented and well known. It is utterly unacceptable for an author claming to write with authority on his subject to make a mistake of this dimension. Foer might as well have included the deaths of the 56 people who died in a fire at Bradford City's dilapidated stadium in 1985, and his credibility must therefore be ever open to question.
As if that weren't enough, Foer bases an entire chapter ("How Soccer Explains The Sentimental Hooligan") around the unlikely stories of a single character, the self-proclaimed Chelsea Headhunter Alan "Garrison." Foer admits upfront that "Garrison" is not his protagonist's real name, which he says he doesn't know, so we'll just have to call him Alan for now. Foer also expects his readers to believe Alan's story without question. And why not? It's a frightfully good story.
According to Foer, Alan's father was a lieutenant in Hitler's SS who was shot and captured in the South of France at the end of the war, and sent to a military hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland, to be healed and to fall in love with his Jewish nurse. At which point, the Allied Forces succumbed to the inevitable power of lurve, dropped all war crimes charges against the SS lieutenant and instead allowed him to set up home with his nurse; first in Scotland and then, presumably in protest at the sectarianism of the Glasgow Derby, in London. Alan, born in 1946, was the first progeny of this happy marriage and he grew up to be—brace yourself—an elite British special forces soldier, who doubled as an elite football hooligan at weekends. After serving five years for attempted murder (at a football match), he somehow transformed into a graphics designer who specialized in computer games for the Commodore 64. Well, of course. He then somehow managed to evade US Immigration Service checks on his criminal record (I think the US tends not to welcome convicted would-be murderers) to obtain the visa that allowed him to relocate to California in the 1990s, where he then promptly introduced English-style hooliganism to a group of Raiders fans in Oakland. Oh, I almost forgot, Foer is also keen to relate that at the time he spoke to Alan, he had just started a new career working as a mercenary in Croatia and Kosovo. At the age of almost 60. Hello? Is anyone else seeing Walter Mitty here?
Now to be fair, I really don't know the truth behind Alan "Garrison" and his unfeasible stories. But I devoted a full 35 minutes of my life to researching him via the wonders of the information superhighway, and I think I've got a pretty good handle on his story, including his real name. But that's largely immaterial, the important thing here is that there are just so many obvious unanswered questions in a story that Foer presents as gospel without any evidence of fact checking or skepticism, that I am utterly unconvinced of its truthfulness. And that's a shame, because there are plenty of well-known former hooligans available for interview, including Chelsea's Steve Hickmott—whose name is given as "Hickmont" by Foer.
How Soccer Explains the World is a good and largely interesting read, but based on the failings that I found within its pages, I find it hard to recommend. A better choice for an interested reader would be Simon Kuper's Football Against The Enemy.

Silly me.
Here I was, thinking police officers hand out speeding tickets for the purpose of, you know, getting us drivers to slow down.
But the tale of how Erich Campbell of Land O'Lakes got popped on the Veterans Expressway for warning fellow motorists of troopers ahead could lead to a more cynical conclusion, or two.
As the Times reported this week, Campbell was driving along one night two years ago, saw those unmistakable Florida Highway Patrol cruisers hunkered down in the median and helpfully flashed his headlights at oncoming traffic.
Most of us know that as the universal signal for "Slow down, pal, radar ahead."
But did those troopers think: Okay, fair enough, drivers win this one, which is fine as long as folks slow down? Since that's our goal, getting them to go the speed limit?
They did not. They pulled Campbell over and slapped him with a $115 ticket for light-flashing under a law clearly intended in part to keep people from using their lights — particularly red, blue or flashing — to look like law enforcement.
So let me ask you: Ever had some good Samaritan flash his headlights at you from oncoming traffic and think: Oh, my gosh, that must be a cop? Me neither.
Now, if you are the cynical sort, you might think some police types care less about slowing down speeders and more about making money from pricey tickets.
And if you were even more cynical, you might wonder if Campbell's real crime that night was spoiling the hunt.
This reminds me of an enterprising fellow years ago who went around Ybor City putting money in meters near parked cars on behalf of some local businesses to make the place more visitor-friendly. The Meter Beater, he was called.
Cynical alert: Parking tickets were making more money than meters.
The young man ran afoul of meter readers. He got a talking-to. He said the words "obstructing justice" were thrown around. But in the end, thankfully, there were no charges. And currently it is not against the law to feed someone else's meter in Tampa. Seemed a no-brainer, but I checked anyway.
Campbell could have written this off as a bad night, particularly after the judge tossed out the ticket once he got done rolling his eyes. (I made up the eye-rolling part, though it could have happened.) Campbell, a college student who says he is lucky to have the time and the wherewithal, did not suck it up. He sued on behalf of himself and an estimated 2,400 drivers similarly cited between 2005 and 2010. And good for him.
Since this made news, he also has heard the opinion that he was somehow obstructing justice with that well-meaning flip of his lights. He wasn't, any more than a bartender who pours a drunk into a cab somehow shortchanges police out of an arrest. (His analogy, but I like it.)
"I'm just saying, 'Hey, mind your speed,' " he says.
His attorney, J. Marc Jones, says they're hoping for money to repay motorists who had to shell out on such charges. They would also like police officers to quit doing this.
It's interesting to note that after the lawsuit was filed, the Highway Patrol officially told its troopers to put the brakes on this type of ticketing.
A cynical type might read something into that, too.

The Indian government has established a special Ebola care and quarantine facility at Delhi Airport, designed for patients with Ebola symptoms, but it is mindful that most who enter the country with similar symptoms are eventually diagnosed with malaria, typhoid fever, or other dangerous diseases.
The Hindustan Times reports that the facility is live and functional and will take in any patients who arrive in India with excessive bleeding, high fever, or other symptoms characteristic of the virus. The newspaper explains that India has an above average intake of international travelers with illnesses due to a phenomenon known as "medical tourism." This is a situation where individuals travel to the nation because they trust those doctors more than the ones in their own country and fly into India specifically because they are sick.
According to a hospital source speaking to the Hindustan Times, many of those who have been tested for Ebola choose to enter India because they need medical care: "Just on August 15, the passenger who was brought to us with high fever eventually tested positive for malaria." The source continued, "When airport authorities find them running high fever they rush them to us straight for Ebola screening." These individuals, he explained, are "bound to turn negative cases."
The result of such tourism is that medical resources that could prevent Ebola from reaching India are wasted on cases that are almost certainly not Ebola, and national health authorities are concerned that India cannot afford such expansive testing. The International Business Times notes much of what the Delhi checkpoint will do is test for fever, though that, too, will not significantly narrow the potential for Ebola testing. At Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital in Delhi, the IBT highlights, sources claim there are between one and two cases a day of suspected Ebola contamination, but no one has tested positive.
India's Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has called the potential for an Ebola outbreak in the nation "low," though he said in a statement that India has "put in operation the most advanced surveillance and tracking systems" for Ebola.
In addition to establishing Ebola testing centers around the nation, particularly at airports, India has a number of doctors serving in West Africa and helping treat Ebola victims. The doctors triggered a controversy last week in Nigeria, where six doctors insisted on being allowed to return to India and alleged that the hospital employing them threatened to confiscate their passports if they insisted on leaving.

Point Roberts, WA, United States, 2005/08/29 - NaturalGasStocks.com Reports - Rising Demand and the Increasing Cost of Oil Pushes Natural Gas Prices Higher - Coal Bed Methane and LNG Provide Solutions..
NaturalGasStocks.com (NGS), and OilandGasStockNews.com (OGSN), global investor websites for the natural gas, energy and oil industries report on the growing demand and rising price of natural gas. Industry analysts Philip McPherson, Director of Research, C.K. Cooper & Company, and Joseph Magner, E&P Analyst, Petrie Parkman & Co, provide insight into current market drivers and the anticipated direction of the natural gas industry. Industry participants Chesapeake Energy Corp (NYSE: CHK), third largest independent producer of natural gas in the United States, and Petrol Oil & Gas Inc. (OTCBB: POIG), an oil and gas exploration and development company primarily focused on CBM, assess and evaluate the current environment and reveal future expectations.
Report Excerpt: The Natural Gas Market: Demand Exceeds Supply - Nowhere to Go But Up?
By Ann-Marie Fleming,
August 2005
The Energy Policy Act that was recently signed into action by President Bush in early August contains provisions directed towards increasing the supply of natural gas, encouraging new exploration as well as providing tax incentives towards new construction of pipelines, in hopes of reducing the current disparity as demand continues to exceed supply.
The growth in demand for natural gas, explains Philip McPherson, Director of Research, C.K. Cooper & Company, essentially began with the Clean Air Energy Act, which restricted the construction of new electrical plants that ran on oil or coal. Continued pressure on gas prices grew as utilities, industrials and consumers began switching to natural gas to take advantage of its cost efficiencies and clean burning attributes. Other factors such as record price levels for oil, recent heat waves and harsh winters have also contributed to increased demand for natural gas.

Community rallies to help well known local man
AWENDAW, S.C. (WCIV) - A well known local man is fighting for his life after being diagnosed with Lou Gherig's disease, but he has a wealth of support by his side.
John Baker was diagnosed just six weeks ago.{} He has lived in Awendaw for over 20 years and managed the Sewee Coastal Retreat which hosted many camps for kids.
Friends organized a benefit event Sunday at Awendaw Green to raise money that will help pay for Baker's medical costs.{} There was food, live music, and a silent auction to help raise money.{}
"The community has been great. It's amazing to hear all the stories about how many lives John has touched over the years, and he's just a great guy, the community has paid back amazingly," said family friend Mary Schultz, who has known Baker for seven years.
Shultz says they hope to raise $20,000 that will all go to the Baker family.

Your mind has been corrupted by universities, colleges, education, society, economists, theologians etc. They have made it a conditioning deep down within you, that unless something has a purpose deep down within you it is useless – so everything must have a purpose. A child playing has no purpose. Collecting flowers, I enjoy, it is ecstatic – but there is no purpose. To be alive is enough, there no need for any purpose.
Upanishad says 'Live Richly.' Western philosophy says 'Die a rich man.' If you want to live richly, you have to live here and now; not a single moment is to be lost. If you want to achieve something, you will die a rich man. But you will live a poor man; your life will be poor.

'Alaska' back for second season
Has Flying Wild Alaska on the Discovery Channel been renewed?
According to a Discovery Channel publicist, the Tweto family and the Era Alaska team will be back for a second season, starting Friday, Nov. 4.

Who pays for TLC's great cakes?
My husband and I have a running argument about Cake Boss. I say that the customers on Cake Boss pay retail prices for the cakes that Buddy Valastro and his team make for the show. My husband says that the production company picks up part of the cost because they're so large, ornate and expensive and often done for nonprofits. Who's right? And what's the price range for those cakes?
Depending on the particular cake, it seems that sometimes you're right and sometimes your husband is right. A publicist for the show told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that each cake offers a unique situation.
"In some cases, TLC will supplement the cost of the cake for its role within the show," the TLC spokesman told that newspaper. "The bakery doesn't release the individual pricing of its cakes from the show, but cakes with that skill and craftsmanship can range from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars."
Update on 'My Three Sons' stars
I was watching reruns of My Three Sons and wondering how many of the stars were still with us, and how old are they?
Still with us at this writing are Don Grady, 67; Tina Cole, 68; Barry Livingston, 57; older brother Stanley, 60, and Dawn Lyn, 48. Tim Considine, the original oldest son on the series, is 70.
Fred MacMurray, patriarch of the Douglas clan, died in 1991; Beverly Garland, who was MacMurray's wife in the show's later seasons, died in 2008. The show's grandfather, William Frawley, and uncle, William Demarest, died in 1966 and 1983, respectively.
Depp off base on 'Lone Ranger'
I'm sure you have seen The Lone Ranger, but after reading Johnny Depp's "ideas," I doubt if he has. The Lone Ranger was an example of what was a good relationship between two different men. Tonto never got the "unpleasant end of the stick," as Depp says, nor was there an "ugliness" against Native Americans in this show.
It's now doubtful whether anyone will see the movie. Reports from Hollywood say Disney has ended plans for the production. The Los Angeles Times said the film could have cost as much as $250 million "and the studio and filmmakers couldn't see eye to eye on making that figure work." There were other issues, too, the Times said: whether the production would have international appeal (a major factor in many films' profitability these days), how modern audiences feel about Westerns, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer's "mixed recent record."

I didn't think the New York Jets could improve their defensive front seven, but I wasn't counting on Jason Babin.
The Jets signed free agent Babin to a two-year contract on Thursday, the team's first day of practice after reporting to Cortland, N.Y. for training camp Wednesday. Babin has made 62.5 sacks in nine NFL seasons, including a remarkable 18 in 2011 and 12.5 in 2010.
Babin is known as a defensive end, but the Jets will presumably use him as an outside linebacker in Rex Ryan's 3-4 base defense. His 6'3, 267-pound frame is strikingly similar to Calvin Pace's 6'4, 265 pounds. Babin said he "had a lot of work early in my career standing up, so whatever is needed from me, we will get it done."
Babin, 34, doesn't have to be a starter, in my opinion: I see Rex and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman rotating him and Antwan Barnes in to relieve presumed starters Quinton Coples and Pace. Babin has never recorded fewer than seven sacks in a season this decade, but even if he only makes five sacks in a back-up role, it's five sacks the Jets didn't have before.
It is the journeyman's seventh different NFL team, but after his first Jets practice Friday, Babin said he still has a learning curve.
"For me right now my only focus is to learn this defense and just to get better every day," he said, while admitting that "it wasn't as fast as I wanted it to be, but that's to be expected."
Babin wasn't the only new Jet talking about his first New York training camp experiences. Wide receiver Eric Decker told reporters how it felt being with a new team on day one of camp.
"You get a little anxious, nervous – you don't know what to expect," he said. "But once you get out here, ball is ball. It might be a different jersey, it might be a different team, but you figure it out."
"Decker runs great routes. I mean the top of his routes are unbelievable," Michael Vick told the media. "He knows how to create space. You can just tell that him working with Peyton [Manning] over the last couple of years has helped him blossom as a receiver."
Meanwhile, rookie tight end Jace Amaro dropped some passes in practice yesterday, something the team wasn't used to seeing him do.
"Some of them were tough catches, but Coach Marty [Mornhinweg] is expecting me to make all those catches and do all those things," said Amaro, "and that's why they picked me up and that's why I got drafted here, to catch the ball, so I'm expecting to do it."
News and Notes: First-round draft pick Calvin Pryor left Saturday's practice with a head injury, one the team was careful talking about. "Whether it's a concussion or not, I'm not sure. We'll see how that progresses," Rex Ryan told the media after practice. Pryor was taking plenty of first-team reps at safety before the injury.
~Also injured are Antwan Barnes and guard Willie Colon with knee issues. The Jets placed both players on the active physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list to start camp. They can be activated as soon as they receive medical clearance.
~New teammates Michael Vick and Chris Johnson are also new roommates at camp. Reporters today were interested in whether Vick thought he could beat Johnson in a foot race. "I'm not racing Chris," he said. "Wasn't he on TV racing a cheetah or something a couple of months ago? Yeah, no, I'm not doing that. To even have the courage to do that, man…"
