2011 NFL Power Rankings: Week 12 - Top 10
Follow @walterfootball for updates.
- Green Bay Packers (10-0) - Previously: #1 - I once again have to take umbrage with NFL.com's game edge graphic:
How the hell does that arrow signify a slight edge? It'd be no different than having the following graphic:
Hmm... Jessica Alba or Rosie O'Donnell? Rosie O'Donnell or Jessica Alba? I think I'll give Alba a slight edge!
- Pittsburgh Steelers (7-3) - Previously: #2 - The Steelers just had the week off, so let's use this space for the Patriots-Chiefs recap:
1. It sounds crazy now, but it seemed like the Patriots were going to lose to the Chiefs. They were down 3-0 early on, and they looked half asleep in the first quarter. They had major issues pass protecting on the first four drives. But like last week, the Patriots suddenly flipped on a switch near halftime and became this unstoppable machine. They couldn't even stop themselves from running up the score at the end of the game.
Seriously, I don't mind running the ball, but why throw and call quarterback sneaks up 24 with less than three minutes remaining? I'm shocked Todd Haley didn't wag his finger at Bill Belichick during the post-game handshake.
2. We had some fun on the forums making fun of BenJarvus Green-Ellis early on. It seemed like Green-Ellis would gain exactly three rushing yards on every carry. He eventually piled up the yardage (81) when Kansas City's defense wore down, but you still have to wonder why Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley aren't getting more touches. Vereen (8-39, TD) looked good on the final drive, so hopefully he'll get more work going forward.
3. The star for the Patriots was Rob Gronkowski, who caught two touchdowns (along with four catches for 96 yards). Those scores gave him 20 for his young career, allowing him to become the fastest tight end to 20 touchdowns (26 games), breaking Mike Ditka's old mark.
4. The Chiefs, meanwhile, moved the chains pretty well at times, but continuously stalled near the New England 35. I found it very strange that they eschewed the opportunity to go for it on a 4th-and-inches from around that spot on their second drive of the game, yet they had enough courage to try an onsides kick later in the quarter. The attempt failed.
5. Tyler Palko played much better than many expected. And no one expected much. One well-known Web site described Palko as one of the "least-talented No. 2 quarterbacks in football." He didn't look that way early on, as he helped the Chiefs convert 6-of-14 third downs. He tossed an interception in the second quarter, but it wasn't really his fault because the ball bounced off his target's hands.
However, Palko really looked skittish in the second half and just forced way too many poor passes into double and triple coverage. His final two interceptions were his responsibility. Palko finished 25-of-38 for 236 yards otherwise.
You can't really blame Palko entirely for his second-half collapse. When that first fluke pick took place, it was 7-3. The Patriots scored twice on a pair of drives sandwiched by halftime, so the next time Palko took a meaningful snap, it was already 17-3. Given his physical limitations and the fact that he was making his first career start, Palko didn't stand a chance.
6. One of the defenders trying to stop Palko was Julian Edelman, Wes Welker's backup at the slot position. As with Troy Brown back in 2004, Belichick is being forced into using a wideout on defense because of all the injuries. Edelman whiffed on a tackle on the first drive, but had some nice stops later on. He also drew a holding flag that brought back a big gain. More importantly, he returned a punt for a touchdown.
7. Is it just me, or does Todd Haley look like a drunk sea captain with his black beard? Maybe all of those booze were the reason why he didn't wag his finger at Belichick.
- New England Patriots (7-3) - Previously: #3 - So, why didn't I use this capsule to recap Patriots-Chiefs? Because I want to point out something stupid ESPN wrote recently, and I'd like to thank Facebook friend Steven L. for bringing it to my attention:
"Why would anyone write off a Patriots team led by QB Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick?" - ESPN power rankings
I'm not sure who wrote this, but it must have been Captain Hindsight. Captain Hindsight went on to say that betting the Lions -7 would be a good move, despite all the great reasons I listed on my NFL Picks page.
Seriously, this is ridiculous. All I heard from the clowns on Sunday NFL Countdown and SportsCenter sets was that the Jets were going to easily beat the Patriots in Week 10. Every single person on the former show picked New York to win. And now they're telling us that no one should have written them off? Weh?
- San Francisco 49ers (9-1) - Previously: #4 - Speaking of ESPN, Facebook friend Joe B. posted the following on my wall:
Here's a good one for you, since this player is your nemesis. On Sports Nation they showed the clip of Ted Ginn dropping a pass and redirecting the ball right to a Giants defender. Herm jumped right in and exclaimed:
"It's not his fault! Not his fault! He can't catch! That's what you get for throwing the ball to him! Can't catch! Don't throw him the ball!"
It's not his fault that he can't catch? Isn't that what he's getting paid for?
- New Orleans Saints (7-3) - Previously: #5 - As you all know, I love posting random dumb things from NFL.com's GameCenter. Here's something that was written on a previous Saints game page:
Is it still floooded in new Orleins
Considering how stupid and ignorant this person is, I'm actually shocked that he knew about the hurricane.
- Baltimore Ravens (7-3) - Previously: #6 - It was odd not seeing Ray Lewis on the field during a Ravens game. But I guess that's a permanent reality that Baltimore fans will soon face.
Anyway, let's go to Notes from NFL.com GameCenter - a list of a few stupid comments I read on NFL.com's GameCenter and my thoughts on them:
1. "QBs being fined for tackling I am a seahawk fan that tackle falco made on hathorn prevented my team from getting a TD and I still think a fine is BS he is a QB for corn sake he was practicly wearing a dress stupid"
For corn sake, learn the English language. And who the hell is Falco?
2. "san fran is a toilet of a city filled with thugs and drug addicts it is very sad when a city's best comunity is its hippies and homosexuals"
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
3. "hey 49er fans YOU ARE ALL SCUMB AND I AM SORRY IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY ME BRINGING UP YOU HERO JERRY SANDUSKY hope he saves you a seat in he11"
On a scale of 1-10, how young should you be to stay away from a 49ers game? Oh darn, South Park already made that joke.
- New York Giants (6-4) - Previously: #7 - Let's give the Giants a mulligan. If I were a coaching a team going up against Vince Young, I wouldn't take it too seriously either.
Speaking of the Eagles, a very strange quote from Andy Reid regarding DeSean Jackson after the victory:
"I enjoy the kid."
Not the smartest thing to say in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, Andy. But I guess it beats "hem hem... uhh... I need to put the players in a better position... hem hem... umm... uhh... I take full responsibility... hem hem... uhh... hem hem..."
- Dallas Cowboys (6-4) - Previously: #9 - Some other GameCenter comments pertaining to the Cowboys:
You know that saying, "If you listen to the fans, you'll be sitting with them?" Well, if you listen to GameCenter idiots, you'll be brain-dead within weeks.
- Oakland Raiders (6-4) - Previously: #10 - ESPN is really easy to make fun. NFL Network, not so much, ever since they removed Matt Millen and Joe Theismann from the Thursday night booth. Fortunately, this exchange between Rich Eisen and Sterling Sharpe had me smh-ing.
Rich Eisen: Did the Raiders give up too much for Carson Palmer?
Sterling Sharpe: Oooohhh I don't know, good question!
What do you mean, you don't know? Aren't you getting paid to voice your opinion on such things?
Maybe I should take the same approach on my picks page. Panthers at Lions -7. Whom am I going to bet on? Oooohhh I don't know, good question!
Come to think of it, maybe I should start doing this because my picks suck.
- Chicago Bears (7-3) - Previously: #8 - Like the Texans, I'm dropping the Bears because of the quarterback injury, but unlike the Texans, I'm not removing them from the top 10 because I have some faith in their backup. I mean, you're not going to see Cal Hanie having kielbasa man sex in a hot tub with Nick Lachey and Matt Millen. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
2011 NFL Power Rankings: Week 12 - Bottom 10
32. Indianapolis Colts (0-10) - Previously: #32 - The Colts had a bye week, so beloved GameCenter poster and Colts fan Taton wasn't active on the boards. Let's take this opportunity to post some of Taton's greatest quotes:
- "Manning always got pick in the last minutes that is sux!!!!"
- "Colts offense and defense not good too many pass drop could catch!!!!"
- "Colts just flatted"
- "Maning Maning Maning why u keep picking!!!!!!!!!!!!"
- howmany drop passes can be catch"
- "P. Manning very game he play he struggle"
- "Manning you sux always choke!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bye bye no more hope for playoff!!!!!!!!!!1"
Now that Taton has seen "Cristis Prainter" in action, I wonder if he still think Manning sucks.
31. St. Louis Rams (2-8) - Previously: #27 - Speaking of GameCenter idiots, there apparently was a trolling problem on the Seahawks-Rams board, as KyleK509 pointed out:
Die? Isn't that a bit extreme, KyleK509?
30. Kansas City Chiefs (4-6) - Previously: #29 - Todd Haley is a weirdo. But don't take my word for it. Check out this animated picture that forum member CrazyCarl had in his signature:
That's basically the expression Matt Millen has when he sees one of his young stallions inserting kielbasa into their you-know-whats.
Ugh, I just grossed myself out.
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7) - Previously: #25 - Last week I wrote "A win over the Browns means nothing." A loss to the Browns means everything, so here are more Notes from NFL.com GameCenter (the first two from Facebook friend Jay B):
1. "thats it a field goal come on lions i touhgt your better then that"
Your mom "touhgt your better then that" too, until you brought home the results of your first spelling test.
2. "come on field goals. get touchdowns."
I've heard of people rooting for the Jaguars and stuff. Never did I think that people would ever root for the field goals.
3. "why does chicagosynidates mom smell like garbage oh yeah that must have been from last night"
Wait, are you saying that she smells like garbage because she had sex with you? Way to insult yourself, idiot.
28. Washington Redskins (3-7) - Previously: #31 - I love when announcers say the most obvious things ever. For example, Rex Grossman heaved an ugly interception downfield in Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Tony Siragusa took this opportunity to chime in with some brilliant analysis:
"This is exactly, EXACTLY, what Rex Grossman didn't want to do."
EXACTLY, eh? And here I thought Grossman threw so many interceptions because he actually enjoyed doing so.
27. Cleveland Browns (4-6) - Previously: #30 - Mike L. sent the following e-mail over to me:
Keep mocking Trent Richardson or Lamar Miller to Cleveland. Local area shops are selling Peyton Hillis jerseys at 60% off!
Isn't it amazing how much can change in seven months? Hillis was named the cover boy of Madden 12, and he was everyone's favorite running back. Now, the Browns don't want any part of him.
The Madden Curse is nuts. Not only did it injure Hillis; it banished him from a city.
26. Arizona Cardinals (3-7) - Previously: #28 - Remember the time when everyone thought John Skelton might be a better quarterback than Kevin Kolb? Aww, how cute.
If Skelton kept putting together quality performances, I would have suggested for Arizona to keep Kolb on the roster as the official play stealer. Heck, if Kolb continues to struggle at quarterback, maybe he can get a job as a defensive coordinator somewhere because he knew Philadelphia's calls so well.
Eagle fans better hope that Andy Reid isn't reading this because he might be thinking, "Uhh... umm... hem hem... Kevin Kolb at defensive coordinator is... uhh... hem hem... a good idea... hem hem..."
25. Carolina Panthers (2-8) - Previously: #24 - Speaking of Skelton, what the hell happened to him? He was decent at Philadelphia, but completely fell apart against the 49ers.
If you've been following this site for a while, you know exactly what happened...
The Adventures of Derek Anderson's Magic Flask!
John Skelton: I'm John Skelton and my arm is so massive that I just throw the ball as hard as I can downfield and hope something good happens. Har Har Har!
Derek Anderson: Heyyyyzzz yewww tuuuuk myyy jeeeoobb, havvve a sssipp offff thissssss hic!
*** Ten minutes later... ***
John skelton: I'mmzzz Jeeohhnn Skellttunn annn myyy arrrm is sooo masssifff thaaa I jeeusst thrrreww the bbballlzz aszz hrddd as cannn downfieeelll nn heoop somethunnn goooo happunnsss!
Yeah, not too much of a difference.
24. Minnesota Vikings (2-8) - Previously: #22 - E-mailer Landon E. sent over an NFL.com fail. This picture is from last year's matchup. Let's see if you can spot the goofy error.
Hint: A certain linebacker broke Michael Strahan's single-season sack record in just four games.
23. Buffalo Bills (5-5) - Previously: #16 - Poor Bills fans. Too many crucial injuries have destroyed their beloved team.
It's a tough call in terms of who's more miserable right now between Buffalo supporters and myself. That terrible beat in the Panthers-Lions game is going to haunt for a very long time.
In an attempt to heal my own wounds, I built a time machine so I can warn myself. Unfortunately, it only goes back 48 hours, so the best I could do was prepare myself for the bad beat.
Me: Hey Walt, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
Me From Sunday Morning: Whoa, what the hell?
Me: I'm from two days in the future. I've come back in time to warn you about something.
Me From Sunday Morning: Uh-oh... what?
Me: The Panthers, the team you have for your November NFL Pick of the Month, are going to be up 24-7 against the Lions.
Me From Sunday Morning: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!! SEVEN UNITS ARE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: No, wait...
Me From Sunday Morning: You've come back to steal my $700, haven't you? Well, I'm going to use this money to throw a party and invite hot girls to it that I will unsuccessfully game.
Me: But...
Me From Sunday Morning: But what?
Me: The Panthers are going to blow the lead because of interceptions and terrible tackling, and the Lions will win 49-35.
Me From Sunday Morning: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Me: I just want you to be prepared for it. Wait, what are you doing? Put down the gun!
Me: Why did you do shoot yourself!?
Me From Sunday Morning: Tell the hot red-headed chick... from Wawa... that she had... a nice... rack... ehh...
Me: Why'd you kill yourself? I mean, why'd you kill me? Wait... whoa... my legs are disappearing... and now my arms... crap... with Me From Sunday Morning dead, I never built this time machine, so I don't exist anymore... there goes my neck... and... my... goodbye hot red-headed chick from Wa...

Must say. I like the packers for next year a bit more than you, and I am not as high on the patriots. Top 4 teams (in my mind) GB, SF, SEA, and DEN in some order. The Pack would definitely be one if they could freaking stay healthy for a change, I would expect continued improvement on D though.

Rivers' arm isn't about to fall off he will be back to being a top 10 QB next season. Bolts need to resign Alexander, Spurlock and Vasquez. Release Royal and try to sign Jake Long in FA or draft Eric Fisher. If this happens I think they will be a 6th seed in next years playoffs.

Just wanted to point out the seahawks 11-5 record should be 10-6 after they were handed a win by the replacement refs.

Yeah, I would agree with this over all, allthoughI think the Bronco's will not end up in the Top 10 by the end of the year... Seattle and the 9ers are going to battle it out.I think the thing that interest me the most looking at Seattle (2 things) 1st, the age of the team, these guys are really young, and are just starting to come together. 2nd, last season, they never lost a game by more than 1 TD, and their average loss was 4 points.. I think the Seahawks can do it next year, but Football is not that easy to predict. The Ravens had a great battle and win for the SB, but they won't repeat..

So the 49ers played lousy in Seattle because they played an emotional game in NE and had to travel across the country to get spanked by Seattle? well the Seahawks played in Toronto before coming home to play the 9ers, do they had the same cross country trip...
Also, if you are going to use the "emotional" NE game as an excuse for the 9ers getting their butts kicked in Seattle, then i will use the same excuse for the Seahawks playing poorly against the rams after they bent the 9ers over the week before.... lastly, the Seahawks were not competitive against the falcons??? How about we compare that game with the 9ers-ravens in the sb... terrible first half followed by a huge comeback to make it close at the end...? So the Seahawks were in fact just as competitive in their game against the falcons as the 9ers were in the sb...

I can't understand all of this sudden Seahawk love. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they don't even make the playoffs this year. Everybody seems to be all over them because they blew out the 49ers in Week 16, a game in which the 49ers were coming off an emotional victory at NE and had to fly back across the country for a second consecutive road game. What else has Seattle done to deserve such worship? After the niner game, they nearly lost to the Rams, were getting trounced in WAS until RG3 got hurt. and were, at best, competitive against the Falcons. They've got a promising young team but its ridiculous to call them the best in the league.

Nice to see the Seahawks as this year's trendy super bowl favorites. As history has shown, the trendy super bowl favorite never ends up actually winning the super bowl.

As a "Dolfan," you have us ranked too high. The Redskins and Colts (playoff teams) ranked below us? I don't see it right now. Should have had the rankings during the first week of Free Agency. Seattle first? Don't see the 9ers being slouches next season, they're a powerhouse.

Oh and another thing:
"Love or hate Tom Brady, you have to admit that his trolling of Joe Flacco by taking a 3-year, $27 million contract was pretty epic. Flacco seems like such a douche now." FALSE! Joe Flacco's cap hit for next year is only $6 million because HE didn't want his contract to force Baltimore to get rid of any players they wanted to keep, which makes him look like an even better guy than Brady!! Do some freaking research before you post this crap man.. |

When Roz Rosenzweig meets Edwin Anderson fumbling for keys on the stoop of a Manhattan walk-up, the last thing on her mind is falling for a polite Nebraskan–yet fall for him she does. So begins Thisbe Nissen's breathtaking debut novel, a decidedly urban fairy tale that follows Roz and Edwin as they move from improbable courtship to marriage to the birth of daughter Miranda–the locus of all Roz's attention, anxiety, and often smothering affection.
As Miranda comes of age and begins to chafe against the intensity of her mother's neurotic love, Roz must do her best to let those she cherishes move into the world without her. On crowded subways, in strange bedrooms, at Bar Mitzvahs, in brownstone basements and high school gymnasiums, Nissen's unforgettable characters make their hilarious and wrenching way–and prove, indeed, that good things thrive in New York City.

The Good People of New York
During the summer of 1970 Fran Kornblauser was renting a fifth-floor walk-up in a building whose buzzer system was partially and perennially incapacitated. When she threw a dinner party--which she did with characteristic frequency--her guests were able to buzz up to Fran's to announce their arrival, but Fran could not, as the system only worked in one direction, buzz back down to open the door. Thus, when the bell rang, Fran would hoist open one of the large front windows that overlooked East Eleventh Street, her jangling necklaces and voluminous breasts dangling over the window box and crushing the petunias planted there by the former tenant, wave hello to her prospective company stranded on the sidewalk, their necks craned upward like gawkers at a rooftop suicide, and toss a spare key out the window to the cement five flights below. "Turn it left and push hard," she'd holler. "It sticks like a motherfucker."
Roz Rosenzweig, who with her crazy ostrich legs and excruciatingly bright and irrevocably short Marimekko minidress looked remarkably like a strawberry lollypop, and Edwin Anderson, seersucker suit rumpled to Kennebunk perfection though he was himself not a Mainer but a Nebraskan, arrived on the stoop outside Fran Kornblauser's simultaneously and became acquainted on their knees as they scrounged in a bed of impatiens for the elusive key which had ricocheted off a third-floor balcony and landed in the little cordoned-off flower patch. A sign hanging from the chain requested that dogs kindly be curbed elsewhere; still, Roz was unsurprised when, instead of the key, her hand brushed what one hasty sniff proved to be a mostly but not completely hardened pile of dog shit.<...

Song Stories
"Devil Inside"
With his alluring vocals, Michael Hutchence sang about a certain horned imp but he wasn't trying to proselytize. "It's incredible how people are raised about and become pious individuals and everybody looks up to them and they have complete faith," he told Rolling Stone. "It's wonderful to have faith, but I don't think the pope is any better than anyone else." Hutchence didn't think Jimmy Swaggart was any better either as he dedicated 'Devil' to the infamous sinner. "By addressing the devil – and I don't believe in the devil, it's a metaphor – and not trying to achieve the angel, we're a lot better off."

I know some sign language but if what she was doing was asl it was very simple and hard to understand, some things looked like girl, where, fine and what. Also when she is saying at the very end of the video that she is fine there is a slight shake of the head indicating that she is not fine.
ReplyDelete - xsighxsighxOctober 11, 2007 at 3:43 AM
Also when she has her finger in pointing up and kindof circling it could mean alone.
ReplyDelete - xsighxsighxOctober 11, 2007 at 3:59 AM
I don't think its listen, listen is with your index finger.
ReplyDelete Taking everything as numbers, here is a rough list of signs + things said:
(call me on the phone I'm down in a well sign)
1 (finger sign)
(hand shuffling sign)
4 (fingers sign on back of other hand)
we talk about hymn of one
my first family
(giving sign)
first family about 6 years ago (cutting sign)
my new parents over the last 6 years
I was 9
singing recital at hymn of one campus
car accident on the 405
1 411 1 669 1 405
The "1 411" could indicate a business location (white pages listing). The rest could be a phone number or possibly the "405" was literally to mean Emma is near the 405 highway in Los Angeles.Ashleypacka says on the forums:
"So here's my theory....
She grabs her ear and put her hand near her heart. She also mentions the 405, we know she's in LA, can hear an airplane, and crosses her hands like an X. Which to me signals, near LAX. I brought up some maps of LAX and there's an Earheart Ave just north of the airport. It's close enough to hear planes and it's quite ironic that she touches her ear and heart, and the street is literally called Earheart."
Thought I would post that here, because it seems like a good theory to me.Since there seems to be a clue related to numbers in Emma's video, and the new video is named "Pi", I decided to look at the digits of Pi.
On this website you can search the first 200 million digits of Pi for arbitrary number strings.
If you go there and search for 405, it returns: "The string 405 occurs at position 595 counting from the first digit after the decimal point. The 3. is not counted."
Now, here is the "AHA" moment. At that position in the Pi sequence (the first appearance of 405), the digits 405 are immediately preceded by 669, the other numbers Emma clearly mentions in her video (ignoring "first family" and "hymn of one")
"The string and surrounding digits:
76752384674818467669 405 13200056812714526356
I have no idea what this means, but that would be a pretty amazing coincidence, so I think this must be part of the solution.Here's a guess: Emma is underground (like Bree was under the hangar in 12in12), and she is trying to indicate both her location and the code to open the entrance.
It's not exact, but the sign she makes with one hand over top of the other is similar to "enter" http://www.aslpro.com/cgi-bin/aslpro/aslpro.cgi
and in the earlier signs she seems to be looking up, and pointing up.
In the previous hangar, Spencer translated numbers (frequencies) from "Deep Throat" into notes that he keyed into his cell phone to open the door. http://www.lg15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Lonelygirl15_Season_Finale_7_of_12_%E2%80%93_2_pm
Maybe something similar is needed here.
If they are going to perform the "ceremony" on Emma soon, it would make sense that she would be in a ficility similar to the one Bree died in.

Now that the Republicans and Democrats have had their national conventions, we can look forward to eight weeks of vacuous campaign slogans and political platitudes. We will hear talk of "jobs" and "the economy." It will be Team Blue versus Team Red, "Forward" versus "Believe in America."
No doubt tens of millions of Americans will be taken in by the electoral three-ring circus. Partisans will cheer "their guy", jeer the "other guy", and voters will dutifully line up at the polls in November to perform the civic ritual.
Yet no matter which party wins, nothing will change because there are no meaningful differences between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Both men support an interventionist foreign policy, preemptive wars, an Orwellian police state, corporatism, and domestic socialism.
So what should we make of the 2012 presidential election?
As the anarchist Emma Goldman said nearly a century ago, "if voting made a difference, it would be illegal."
The ugly truth is America's electoral system is window dressing for the power elite who represent true apex of political power. This "High Cabal" or oligarchy determines the broad policy agenda of the country while leaving the matter of its implementation to an elected political class.
Now this does not mean that voting is completely pointless. After all, window dressing does serve a purpose. In our democratic age voting confers legitimacy on the state which the power elite use to achieve their objectives.
The genius of this oligarchic system is its subtlety. It is fundamentally elitist but superficially democratic and participatory. Opinion polls are conducted, campaign buttons are distributed, and political pep rallies are held. The people are encouraged to vote every two or four years for selected candidates but they have no real say in the direction of fundamental policies.
Consent is manufactured and perception is managed through a corporate owned and corporate controlled media. The major newspapers and network and cable news stations basically function as organs of propaganda for the power elite. The job of the mainstream media is to focus on trivial matters and political gossip which creates the illusion of vigorous debate while avoiding uncomfortable questions regarding the oligarchic system itself. Those who do raise such questions are marginalized and effectively silenced.
Now for those who take pride in America's democratic traditions, the idea of an oligarchy or power elite manipulating events from behind the scenes sounds unpatriotic, conspiratorial, and farfetched. Yet many respected scholars have presented compelling evidence supporting just that.

Questions Left Unanswered for Cincinnati Bengals After Week 1
By Chris Roling ,
The Cincinnati Bengals began their 2012 NFL season against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football and were thoroughly embarrassed, which has left more questions about the team unanswered than solved.
While the 44-13 beat down in front of a national audience on prime time sounds horrific, there were some good things to take away from the loss. The banged up offensive line looked good, a running game has been found and Andrew Hawkins has emerged as a playmaker on offense.
That's about it.
There were some pressing questions about the 2012 iteration of the Bengals this offseason that were presumably going to be answered right away, and that simply was not the case.
Here are some burning questions about the Bengals that were not answered in Baltimore in Week 1:
Rey Maualuga was coined as the middle linebacker head coach Marvin Lewis had been frantically searching for since the beginning of his tenure in Cincinnati.
Things looked good last season until Maualuga went down with an ankle injury, rushed back and failed to match his early-season play.
If the massarcre in Baltimore is anything to go by, it looks like Maualuga has actually regressed.
Even an untrained eye could see Maualuga was consistently out of position and failing to shed blocks to make plays all night long against the Ravens. As the core in the middle of a defense, his performance makes him a liability.
If Maualuga does not turn things around quickly, the Bengals' fan base will be clamoring for undrafted free agent and feel-good story Vontaze Burfict to replace him—and Lewis might accommodate those demands.
It would be easy to assume that in a West Coast offense a 6'5", 260-pound tight end would be a focal point of the offense.
Not in Cincinnati.
One of the critiques of Jay Gruden's new offense with the Bengals has been the lack of involvement for tight end Jermaine Gresham. That continued to kick off the 2012 season against the Ravens.
Gresham only caught three passes for 30 yards despite his great measurable and outstanding talent. He is a mismatch anywhere on the field and Gruden failed to take advantage all night.
If the Bengals want to have a more dynamic offense, making use of Gresham more often would be a good idea. Right now he is simply wasting away in Cincinnati.
The Bengals' secondary was the weak link of the defense against the Ravens, and quarterback Joe Flacco made the most of it throwing for 299 yards and two scores while compiling a pristine 128.4 rating—and only having eight incompletions.
Reggie Nelson was the only bright spot in the secondary at free safety. His counterpart, Taylor Mays, was benched after a silly personal foul on a defenseless receiver, and his replacement, Jeromy Miles, was not any better.
The cornerback position did not fare much better. Leon Hall looked average at best, which was to be expected after rebounding from such a serious injury. Terence Newman was consistently torched, as was Nate Clements.
If Hall cannot get back into the swing of things and either one of Clements or Newman fails to step up, it is going to be a miserable season in Cincinnati.
First-round draft pick Dre Kirkpatrick is not ready and won't be a difference maker when he is considering he missed the majority of his rookie preseason with nagging injuries.
Andy Dalton had a strange night against the elite defensive unit of the Baltimore Ravens. At times he looked great, zipping passes into tight windows and finding the open man on long drives down the field to eat a large chunk of the clock.
Those times were few and far between.
Dalton was the definition of inconsistent. He was horribly inaccurate on deep throws, even with his receiver beating the defense down the field. There was also the pass that looked like a routine throw that he missed high and it ended up being intercepted and returned for a touchdown to put the game out of reach.
There was a point in time when the buzz around Dalton was at a fever pitch, after all, the Bengals were expanding the playbook and he did not have to suffer through a lockout this offseason.
If his performance against Baltimore is any indication, Dalton is a few years out from standing a chance against the elite defensive units of the NFL.
One of the biggest story lines of the offseason for Cincinnati was the quest for a No. 2 receiver across from A.J. Green, which was partially answered when the team elected to go with a committee approach.
Andrew Hawkins had a breakout game against the Ravens, but is a slot and gadget receiver more than anything. The outside receiver spot opposite of Green remained mostly ineffective despite the efforts of Brandon Tate and Armon Binns.
Binns only caught four passes for 28 yards, Tate one catch for three yards.
The emergence of Hawkins is great, but a reliable threat on the outside is important. If Binns and Tate continue to not get the job done, it will be up to rookies Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones to step up.
It does not matter who does it, but the Bengals are going to have a hard time fielding an effective offense with only two reliable receiving threats on every down.
The Bengals look to have one of the best kick-coverage units in the NFL yet again in 2012. The Ravens failed to make any noise against Cincinnati in the punt and kick return game thanks to the stellar play of the coverage unit.
Likewise, the return units for the Bengals were atrocious. There were no notable punt returns for Cincinnati, and Brandon Tate made several horrendous decisions when returning kick offs, one which resulted in the team starting from their own eight-yard line.
Tate could be in danger of losing his duties on special teams if he continues to make questionable decisions. There are plenty of talented returners on the team such as Adam Jones that could not only make better decisions, but be more effective than Tate.
A huge play here and there on special teams could win the Bengals a few more games in 2012, but they have to find the right person to do so, mentally and physically.

Leroy Luetscher was accidentally impaled through his eye socket after falling on the shears while working in his yard, the handle penetrating his eye socket and reaching down into his neck. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Glen Rock High School baseball parents start petition
Concerned that its field may not be ready for the spring season, the Glen Rock High School Baseball Association (GRHSBA) is circulating a petition urging expedited action, to be delivered to officials at the Dec. 10 Board of Education meeting.
Baseball field renovations tied to the larger athletic fields project have been pushed back by delays in earlier phases, involving the installation of drainage hardware beneath the lower soccer field and the former football/track site - now a synthetic turf-enhanced, all-purpose venue. The lower soccer field now in the finishing stage will also have a synthetic surface above its underground drainage system.
Through late summer and fall, the district paid significant overtime costs to complete the all-purpose complex sufficiently enough to hold the September Homecoming football game, and to host boys and girls soccer for the first time in two years.
Baseball parents are now demanding similar urgency to ready their field for play; and have recently questioned why bids for add-on ballfield upgrades not covered in the general contract have not gone out. Their petition leads with that question.
Meanwhile, officials said this week that the baseball plans, timetable and bid process were top-of-agenda at the BOE Operations Committee meeting Tuesday - and will be presented in detail at the same Dec. 10 BOE session.
"This is one of the key topics," said trustee and operations chair Carlo Cella in response to a Glen Rock Gazette inquiry. "We will have a plan which will be conveyed at the Dec. 10 meeting." He said that "as mentioned in the past, the baseball field is dependent on finishing the lower soccer work," because it has been used as the entry/exit point and staging area for materials and equipment connected to the soccer field construction.
Cella also noted that weather is the next "major dependency," and that the "lower soccer work did get delayed a bit due to Hurricane Sandy."
Frustrated by the protracted delay and what she termed officials' lack of information and responsiveness to questions, RHSBA president Denise Blind told the Glen Rock Gazette that at midweek, the organization's petition had garnered more than 150 signatures.
"I don't know if this will make anything happen or not, and as it is, the next board meeting is another two weeks away," said Blind this week. "But at least it will show the board how upset people are that the baseball field is being treated with less importance than the other parts of the project."
The petition reads in part: "The members of the GRHS Baseball Association continue to question why the bids have not even gone out for the renovation of the High School Baseball Field. At last Monday's (Nov. 19) BOE meeting, (Business Administrator/Secretary) Mike Rinderknecht stated that work on the field would not commence prior to the first or second week of January.

setup.py doesnt find snudown (self.redditdev)
submitted 1 year ago by anlutfi
Hello. im new here, so i apologize for the noob question, but im trying to set an internal reddit for my company and i just found a problem. after building setup.py sucessfully, when i try to run sudo python setup.py develop, it stops and raises error. the url used in the setup for install_requires.dependecy_links (https://nodeload.github.com/reddit/snudown/tarball/v1.1.0#egg=snudown-1.1.0) is not found (404).
Can anyone give me a new url or a alternative method of setting things up?
[–]Yserbius 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Yeah, I noticed that bug too. You will just have to go to the snudown homepage (https://github.com/reddit/snudown), clone the git repo and run "setup.py install" on it.

Seven tips to help you and your family safely enjoy winter activities
December 20, 2010 at 8:32 am Leave a comment
The holiday season is a time when youngsters are bundling up, anxious to build a snowman, dust off the toboggan or lace up a pair of skates.
"It is an exciting time of year for children and it is a great time for families to enjoy winter activities together. By taking a few precautions, you can reduce your risk of injury," says Dr. Peter Azzopardi, Chief of Paediatrics at The Scarborough Hospital. "Dressing properly and having the right equipment is important."
So before heading outdoors to enjoy the season, Dr. Azzopardi offers these tips:
- Dress in layers and wear a hat and mittens to help you stay warm and avoid frostbite.
- Wear sunscreen, especially on sunny days.
- Put a neck warmer on children instead of a scarf for activities like tobogganing to avoid strangulation.
- Children should wear a helmet for activities like skating and tobogganing to avoid head injury.
- Make sure your children's winter activity equipment fits properly.
- When tobogganing, make sure the hill does not end too close to a road or parking lot.
- Never skate near open water. If skating on a pond or lake, be sure the ice is at least 10 cm thick.

Completed - MANDARIN - Thriller - 111 minutes
A bloody, philosophical investigation of possession, looking at what happens when someone is possessed by another soul, and how their family treats them.
Year of production : 2013 Director(s) : Mong-Hong CHUNG Writer(s) : Mong-Hong CHUNG Cast : Jimmy WONG, Joseph CHANG, Leon DAI Producer(s) : Jufeng YEH (Ocean Deep Films), Shao-Chien TSENG (3NG Film)
Quiet, 30 year-old A-Chuan is a sous chef at a Japanese restaurant. One day he collapses and is rushed to hospital, where doctors are at a loss to explain what happened to him. They deduce that his sudden disassociated state is a psychological disorder and send him back to his hometown in the mountains to recuperate under the care of his 70 year-old father, Wang. A-Chuan won't speak, won't eat and can't even go to the toilet on his own. One day his father returns from work to find A-Chuan sitting in the corner and his daughter, Yan, dead in the middle of a pool of blood. In an unfamiliar, eerily calm voice, A-Chuan says, "I saw this body was empty so I moved in." Wang is trapped. His wife died in hospital years ago and A-Chuan is now the last remaining member of his family. Wang is unwilling to turn his only son in to the police and too scared to take him to the hospital, so he buries Yan's corpse in an unmarked grave in the mountains. Wang drugs his son's food and when he passes out Wang locks him in a hidden cottage. Then he has to deal with Yan's husband, who shows up, concerned about his missing wife. To keep his son safe, Wang kills his son-in-law and he and A-Chuan settle into a peaceful routine, father and son, jailor and jailed. At night, ghosts visit A-Chuan in the cottage and talk to him. Events reach a gruesome conclusion when the police show up, looking for Yan and her husband.

Downtown Detroit
Will be visiting Detroit with a friend for movement festival over mem day weekend. Looking for late night din places that will deliver to marriot after midnight or are right near hart plaza (safe for two girls to walk to and back to hotel), also looking for some breakfast places that we can get to easily from hotel or using people mover. We will be on a budget since we had to spend a bit more on the hotel than anticipated so cheap would be great, no pizza or Italian though please as we are coming from ny/nj area and want to try something different. Thanks in advance
A list of my favorite's for out of town folks,,not far from downtown,, I'm a food blogger and number one for reviews around Detroit.
Green Dot Stables,,,, unique fun hip eater spot
Los Alto's,,, Favorite real deal old school Mexican
Hygrade Deli,,,, Breakfast and Corned Beef 60 years
Dulys,,, 24 hour classic for 80 years
Vince's,,, 53 years old school Italian
Al Ameer,,,,, Best Middle Eastern a 15 minute drive
Bucharest,,,, Best Chicken Shawarma in Town
Enjoy most of these have Facebook sites,,,those that don't see the Urbanspoon reviews and food photo's and enjoy your trip in the D
hello everyone,
we'll also be in detroit for the movement festival this weekend. we'll be staying downtown w/access to a car. we had dinner last year at roast, cocktails at sugar house, breakfast at christine's, and lots of dogs.
we're looking for some new options...we're open to anything that's decent and within a reasonable drive.
thanks in advance..
Only 2 short blocks away I've sent many visitors to this great unique 100 year old building with the greatest Wings to be found in our state. Rated number one on many websites found from folks all over the nation this place is a must try.
No one comes close to these perfected wings marinated overnight in a secret sauce and deep fried to the perfect doneness. The bonus buy a whole slab of ribs that fall over the bone and you get a free full order of wings with salad and fries for only $24, 2 of us couldn't finish it all. I call this the BBQ deal our city has to offer.
People Mover hours can vary depending on what's going on Downtown. I'd anticipate they may be somewhat extended during Movement. You might keep an eye on this page as your visit dates approach. http://www.thepeoplemover.com/Extended-Hours.id.21.htm
Bucharest delivers to Downtown hotels-- and by Movement they'll no doubt be in their new (additional!) location over in Corktown which should make getting around a bit easier for their delivery vehicles-- though navigating the Downtown core during Movement will no doubt remain a challenge.
A few other places also deliver. Here's one list--
http://diningindetroit.blogspot.com/2013/04/hot-list-delivery.htmlSweetwater, known for lousy service and sometimes-great wings, grilled ribs and decent meat-centric salads is open until 2am and is an easy walk from Jefferson.
Plaka on Monroe in Greektown is open 24/7. Think of it as a greasy spoon with a Greek accent.
I enjoy some of the sandwiches at Foran's (Grand Trunk), though I think their kitchen closes at midnight.
Up Woodward a bit into Midtown, Honest John's kitchen remains open until 2am. They also serve breakfast daily from 7am. It's a very popular after-shift spot for staff from the nearby Detroit Medical Center. http://www.honestjohnsdetroit.com/node/1
There are also good, interesting Yemeni places in Hamtramck, Lebanese in Dearborn and Mexican in Southwest Detroit open till midnight, but you asked for later than that.
Many of the Mexican places serve breakfast quite early, if you don't mind driving in the morning. Los Altos (from 8am) comes to mind, as do Nuestra Familia, LaTerraza (moving soon into the former Las Briasa spot in W Vernor, if they haven't already) and Mi Pueblo.
In all cases, Y*lp is useful for addresses, maps and usually hours.
Ahhhhh the Memorial Day Mecca for electronic music. I used to run a website back in the day that helped many out of towners get what they needed out of the city. One aspect of what you are looking for but not mentioned is what after parties will you be going too.
Breakfast = http://www.sweetlorraines.com/
Dinner after midnight is tougher, but nothing is more Detroit than late night coneys at Lafayette. http://www.yelp.com/biz/lafayette-coney-island-detroit
During the day with a short walk away from Hart Plaza is Foran's. They should have good DJ's spinning and serving decent pub grub. http://www.grandtrunkpub.com/
Also worth while in the People Mover Loop is... http://www.roastdetroit.com/
Outside of the loop...
http://www.mudgiesdeli.com/ - Best Sandwiches and soups downtown. Owned by DJ Greg Mudge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAGl0JzlLPs
Saturday Morning is for hitting Eastern Market. http://www.detroiteasternmarket.com/
Great soul of Detroit and plenty of places to eat. Burt's Ribs if you want cheap beer and Soulful Karaoke before noon.Best BBQ is Slows and within walking distance of "The Works" which always has great afterparties. http://slowsbarbq.com/
Best Trainspotting Experience for local Detroit "Underground Resistance" was one morning where the headliner "Rolando" and other UR member "Buzz Goree" showed up at Taqueria Lupita's. We got REAL full and spent hardly a thing. https://plus.google.com/1081170209504...
If you provide more info on what type of Techno you listen too I might be better to help. What labels do you listen to?
re: JanPrimus
hey Jan, I think the downtown Sweet Lorraine's is closed.
This place has had good reviews, but don't know from personal experience, I'd try it on Sunday
http://www.hudson-cafe.com/index-3.htmlas jan says, though, I'd head to Eastern Market area on Saturday for breakfast and the best vibe in the city.
re: JanPrimus
thanks for all the info!
As far as after parties go we haven't planned anything yet. What we are really looking for is being able to see some of the detroit natives like atkins, craig, saunderson, may, or anyone that really represents the detroit techno sound/scene.
I didn't mention this in my original post but we will have a rental car. Is there parking at the eastern market? Slows?
re: LINDZUKER
There is lots of parking at Eastern Market, yes, but there are also gobs of people there on a Saturday morning, so it can still be an issue. With Slows, there's on-street parking and I've heard that there's a secure pay-to-park-there lot which I'm not familar with; maybe someone else knows. I always park right on the street in front and I've never had an issue...others would say that it's a prime break-in area, and I wouldn't call them wrong. I just haven't experienced that issue.
Slows kitchen is also open pretty late (check their website for kitchen hours) and makes *wonderful* late night noshing, especially since there's usually no wait for a table that late (that I've seen...but I haven't tried during the techno-fest, or whatever it is). Had I realized you had a rental car, I'd have recommended this in my first post as well.
re: boagman
Sorry, I didnt mention the car because we are going to try to avoid using it as much as possible in the city and won't be using it at night since we'll be enjoying a few beers throughout the day at the fest.
Found the info for Slow's lot on their website. Going to head there for a big lunch on sunday before the fest. hopefully the wait wont be too bad if we arrive shortly after they open at 11
Would you suggest taking the bus to Eastern Market instead of driving?
re: LINDZUKER
Definitely drive to Eastern Market. Even on its busiest day, you can find a parking space. I'd highly recommend Russell Street Deli for breakfast. If you have a sweet tooth, walk around the market and grab a Luv's custard pie and throw it in your mini fridge for later.
If you feel like driving a little further, (maybe another five minutes) check out Rodin in Midtown at the Park Shelton for brunch.
Can't say enough good things about Bucharest.
First place that comes to mind as a kneejerk reaction is Bucharest Grill on Park Avenue for their fantastic chicken shawarma sandwiches. Under $5 out the door, ultra-fresh ingredients (*very* garlicky, mind you...if you aren't truly good friends now, your friendship will be put to the test unless you both partake), and quite filling. Best part: they're open until 12AM Sunday and Monday night, and until 2AM every other night of the week. Call fifteen minutes before closing if you're cutting it that close, otherwise, you can call them when you're exiting at Grand Circus Park (see below), and your sandwiches will be waiting for you!
It isn't necessarily walking distance from the Marriott, but you can hop on the People Mover for $.75 a person at the Renaissance Center station and it'll drop you at the Grand Circus Park People Mover station which is literally two blocks away. Definitely worth the investment of time and money. If you want to eat at the adjoining Park Bar, you can if there's room/tables for you.
I highly recommend the sandwiches, though. I make special trips for them.
Edited to add that the People Mover's hours are until 12AM daily and until 2AM on Friday and Saturday night. Keep that in mind.

Women like me didn't make an agonizing choice between a high-paying, satisfying career and motherhood. Women like me, we basically went from friends to parenthood. Some of us have degrees, some of us never finished college. Some of us never started.
I can't help thinking that they didn't want to go back to the same careers they had before because the reasons they left are still inherent in them. Those careers remain incompatible with a reasonably balanced life.
The discussion over Opting Back In continues, in response to Judith Warner's New York Times Magazine cover story this weekend, "The Opt-Out Generati...
A decade into working momhood, I'm glad I didn't opt-out. As my career has grown, so has my salary, my influence and my ability to work flexibly.
Ten years ago, the chatter filled my inbox. Today, it is filling Twitter and Facebook. But while the medium is different, the message is surpr...
These were the women my generation had fought for -- so that the future would be brighter for all women and ultimately, the world.
Until we find that new path, women (and men) who can afford to step off the existing path, will continue to do so. And we will have the cover story equivalent of "Groundhog Day" -- as each new cohort finds itself conflicted for the first time.
It's called the resume gap, and standing on one side (where you have taken a few years out of the workplace to raise children) and looking across to...
"I...have chosen to leave private practice, and the practice of law (at least for now).I truly admire all of you that have been able to juggle your career and family and do not envy what a challenge it is trying to do each well."
"It's not that Anne-Marie was being blocked by attitudes that are keeping her from her definition of the top, but that she's being blocked by the reality of her needing to be available to her family,"
Women have done all the contorting that they can possibly do to cram their dual desires for work and children into the workplace as it exists. Now it is time for the workplace to cram, contort and change instead.
Would a man's choice to embrace his traditional breadwinning role with gusto be marked as an end to progress, or to opt out of parenthood as a harbinger of the downfall of society as we know it?
For many public school students and perhaps for teachers as well, April is the cruelest month of the school calendar. April days that are not devoted to 'test prep' are spent on testing itself. And some of what is going on in this crazy month defies the imagination.
I have always wondered whether there would be the same anger at a story about men choosing to ratchet back their careers -- work less, earn less, climb less of the ladder. It looks like I am getting the chance to find out.
When young women declare themselves optimistic about women in the workplace in the very same survey in which they point out gender-based inequities, you kind of have to worry.
I've opted in, out and all things in between and what I can tell you is this: It's way more complicated than those two little words tend to imply.

A small town hello to Dr Linda
... was too big a town to find her easily—especially as we were in a hurry to get to Santa Fe and see people there.
But when I turned into Estancia, I realized I was going down the main street—and that may very well be the only street in Estancia. There was a Wells Fargo- Kathryn had to go in there- and I mentioned I had a friend who lived in Estancia. "Oh, Dr Linda? Of course, we all know her! She is the doctor!" And it turns out ...

... side so the paint spray was blowing toward my camera. I waited and waited and waited until I was finally alone but by that point my hands were very cold and I was having trouble operating the camera. I took pictures for as long as I could stand the cold and then headed back to my car.
When I left Cadillac Ranch I headed for Las Vegas. I stopped in Moriarty, UT for the ...

Living the dream on Route 66
... very good. The service was very friendly and quick. All of the local firefighters were eating in there - need a better endorsement?
We also tried the Connie's Grill, which is now an order at the counter type of place. It was quick, but just OK. The local Subway is a better bet for lunch - and also had very helpful staff.
So for an old Route 66 town, there's not a ton ...
Post day 2, April 25, Southwest Chief, Albuquerque
I had been told by station personnel that my 6:15PM train would begin boarding sleeping car passengers about 5:30. When the appointed time came the status board said simply "delayed" and remained that way until past 6:15. Activity finally appeared imminent and I asked the agent if there would be an announcement for us. He said "follow me" and took me to a Red Cap with a golf cart and we left for the platform. My attendant (Stewardess) pinky took my ticket and I was soon settled into ...

(FOX19) - Earlier this year we told you about 2 bills in Congress that were supposed to crack down on Internet piracy but went well beyond that.
As a result of public outcry, those bills known as SOPA AND PIPA were shelved.
But it didn't take long for them to come back in the form of a new bill. The question now, what does this new bill known as CISPA mean for your privacy?

Hillcrest Annexation Request Reveals Dubuque Police Shortageby Katie Wiedemann, Reporter
DUBUQUE, Iowa - A proposal for the city of Dubuque to annex a mental health facility is revealing an officer shortage at the Dubuque police department.
With only 95 officers on the force right now, police officials say the department needs another 14 officers. This comes just at the city could soon become responsible for protecting more people. Hillcrest Family Services operates a mental health residential care center on Speipple Road.That center was formerly called the Julien Care Facility. Directors there want to install a fire sprinkler system. But in order to do that they need to connect to the city's water source. The property is under the County Sheriff's jurisdiction. Dubuque County Sheriff Don Vrotsos says deputies respond to more than 250 calls there each year. A number the city police don't know how they'll keep up with. Many of the 80 people living at the Hillcrest center are dealing with crisis and mental illness. The Sheriff says 35 percent of the Office's annual calls for service come from Hillcrest employees. Hillcrest's John Bellini said, "with the particular mental health needs and the emotional behavior issues that we are dealing with, I believe it's not a high number. " State law keeps Hillcrest's type of shelter from locking residents inside. So most of the calls for service are to help search for runaways. Taking over that volume of calls is alarming for Dubuque Police Lt. Scott Baxter. He says the department is already extremely short staffed. Baxter said, "we had some unexpected resignations over the summer. Coupled with retirements and maternity leave. " Baxter says the police department is actively hiring, but only a small number of potential officers are able to get into the state's police academy each year. "every agency across the state is competing for those slots. The larger agencies who don't have their own academies, we are at their mercy as well. " If the Hillcrest center becomes part of the city, Baxter says police will likely have to cut back on things like special traffic enforcement projects and crime prevention. Baxter said, "we're not willing to sacrifice that promise to the community, the fact that we are going to be there when they need us. We are going to do that at all costs. It's just far more challenging when we don't have the people we need. " A state board has already approved the annexation that would make this center part of the city. City leaders say unless someone objects by this Monday, the annexation will go through.

A Mother from Kuwait Children love to have a bedtime story read to them!'Bedtime Stories with Rita' is one of the most popular programmes on SAT-7 KIDS. It's a simple programme in which Rita, sitting in a comfortable bedroom surrounded by big pillows and stuffed animals, reads a story from the Bible. Children from around the region love this programme, which provides Bible teaching in a way that is simple and personal. It also shows children how to pray. Parents appreciate this programme too, as demonstrated by this mother living in Kuwait: "I am the mother of two children: Makarios who is seven years old and George who is five. We are Egyptians living in Kuwait. We have long searched for Bible stories like those in the "Bedtime Story" programme but we couldn't find them in any church. I thank God from the bottom of my heart for SAT 7 KIDS. It contrasts with other satellite channels and children's programmes which are harmful to our children. Thank you for your love and efforts and may the Lord God reward you with abundant blessings." Watch an episode of 'Bedtime Stories with Rita' |
