Our first round pick has to be Eric Reid from LSU. Him and Barron back there would be better for the blitzes coach is trying to do.
This game is won in the trenches. We need to work on improving the O-Line. Also, a good blocking Tight End who can stretch the field when his number is called.
Auburn has a beast of a TE in Philip Lutzenkirchen! If we have a high 2nd round pick (Or sneak into the playoffs somehow and get a low first rounder) we have to take this guy. He's Gronk 2.0. I don't really make predictions on this site, but dammit, this guy HAS to be a pro bowler!

Donna R Word
Donna from Knoxville, TN– Verified Buyer
EXCELLANT!!! I love this blanket!!! Not only would I recommend this blanket, I'm planning on purchasing another for a gift. My husband even commented on how much he liked it! A great year round blanket. Very pleased with the price. No regrets on this purchase.
So Soft!
Howard from Palm Springs, CA– Verified Buyer
This is an extremely soft and comfortable blanket, lightweight but still very warm.
dominie from voluntown, CT– Verified Buyer
I love this blanket!!!! It is so warm and soft .
Lindsey from Worthington, OH– Verified Buyer– Top 100 Reviewer
I hesitated on buying this because I really wanted a knitted cotton blanket, but this one had such great reviews and a good price so I went for it. Totally happy about the decision - I got a queen size for my bed, and it added just the right weight and warmth, and wasn't too fuzzy or fleece-like, which was my worry. It is really soft and looks nice too, I would buy it again.
Awful blanket
Michelle from Hot Springs, AR– Verified Buyer
Bought this blanket for layering on my bed, I normally go for basket weave cotton, should have stayed with it. This blanket is pilling all over the sheets, and my expensive comforter. It's pretty, and it's soft but it's not worth anything much less the high price it costs. YUK!
All seasons blanket
Elizabeth from Louisiana
I'm super happy with this blanket. I think it's great quality and it's working out perfectly! The blanket is really soft and it's exactly what I wanted and expected!
Love It
Sadie from Northfield, OH– Verified Buyer
While we love this blanket, we were expecting something a bit lighter based on reviews. This is not a springsummer bamket
erin from denver, CO– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
great soft light weight blanket. The name is perfect for all seasons. I would definetly suggest it to friends and clients.
well made blanket
just a lot thinker then I wanted, but for most folks that would be a good thing. I washed in cold water and used medium dryer setting with minimal shrinkage. Appears as though it will hold up well for years to come.

'The Unwinding' is a requiem for the American Dream

A German friend of mind recently said that this period in history has a correlation to the fall of the Roman Empire. When the Roman Empire fell, there was chaos everywhere, because the Romans were the world police of their time.
Now that the American Empire is falling, the same thing is happening, for the same reason

i read this and its great
by telling the story through the voices of individual americans
it became very interesting to read of an otherwise downwardly trajectory
now that i know the authors local roots i recommend it even more
capitalism has had its way with our democracy
without a middle class even the 1% are headed for trouble
we need to use the internet to take back the power and recreate opportunity for americans
on Sep 23, 2013 at 5:31 pm
I disagree with the eighth paragraph from the bottom in this piece: Becoming a "community organizer" is not "a structure". It is trying to build a structure where there is none. And certainly it is not the equal of the labor union structure that unravelled under Tammy Thomas' feet. As for Connaughton, filing for bankruptcy does make one feel "alone" and it is not true of everyone in his "class of Washingtonians", unless they are also filing for bankruptcy.
Apart from this clear disagreement, a very good review. As for Thiel, what more does one need to say than he is a follower of the ideas on Ayn Rand and Ron Paul, people who love to talk but hate to think. What could make Packer's point better than his including Thiel and his ideas in this book. If Thiel is an intellectual leader because of his money, then so are the oil sheiks of the Middle East and the Russian Oligarchs.

The Research Process
Choose a topic.
Do a brain dump: Write down what you already know about your topic, including
- Names of people, organizations, companies, time period you are interested in, places of interest [countries, regions, cities]
Fill in the gaps in your knowlege: get background information from encyclopedias or other secondary sources. Wikipedia can be good here.
Select the best places/ databases to find information on your topic. Look under the History Databases tab of this guide for article database suggestions. Or use a catalog like Oskicat or Melvyl to search for books and other resources.
Use nouns from your brain dump as search terms.
Evaluate what you find. Change search terms to get closer to what you really want.
Refine Your Topic - Using the information you have gathered, determine if your research topic should be narrower or broader. You may need to search basic resources again using your new, focused topics and keywords.
Take a look this short tutorial on beginning your research for more ideas.

Well that's really bad news for Paraguay. Lucas Barrios didn't start against Uruguay, but he was introduced with his side down 2-0 with 14 minutes left. The reason the hitman - one of Paraguay's only true goal threats - didn't start was because he had a hamstring problem, and introducing him in the late stages came with a major risk of him re-aggravating it.
And re-aggravate his hamstring he has. Chasing a long ball over the top and engaged in a footrace with Urugay centre half Sebastian Coates, Barrios went down in a heap without any contact, grabbing his hamstring. It doesn't look particularly good for Paraguay, and now they're forced to play the rest of the game with ten men. Barrios had been their third and final substitute. So, that's five minutes to go, with a 2-0 lead and now a man advantage. Think Uruguay have this one in the bag?

Worst of the Worst—In addition to the good films, there was also a steady stream of bad movies to filter through theaters this year. For every Sideways that made its way into theaters, there were two or three Garfields that raked in millions. Go figure. So, in the spirit of the hairball-puking hero of this summer's surprise hit, I present 2004's 10 Worst List.

Top 10 Films of 2004
The anno horribilus known as 2004 turned out to be an interesting one, cinema-wise. The word that keeps cropping up in my mind is "mature." Even the best kiddy fare this year (The Incredibles, Mean Girls) seemed surprisingly sharp and clever.
Idiot Box
Best of the Box
Top TV of 2004
Reality TV continued to rule the airwaves (or "pollute the airwaves," depending on your perspective). Gay-themed TV shows fell out in favor of poker-themed TV shows (a trend that will only continue in 2005). And, of course, 130 million people saw Janet Jackson's boob. That's the year that was television in 2004.

This is a very sturdy, well built, easy to use & easy to handle camera from Canon, that I'm happy to own.
Sturdy solid build and very easy to grip & hold.
Very good outdoor pics.
Good indoor pics even in dim lighting, with great control over the flash to give clear pics.
Decent video for a low cost camera.
Excellent battery life esp for pencil cells, nimh or alkaline

This camera is very good as it can shoot just from 1cm away objects.
No camera in this range has such a good macro.
If anyone looking for creativity can choose this camera.
nice buy
When i was about to buy a basic point & shoot camera, i couldn't decide whether to buy this or Nikon Coolpix L23. Though Nikon has better technical specifications, almost all expert reviews rate Canon A800 better than Nikon L23; mostly because of its better picture quality. The product was delivered in 2 days. I am satisfied with the awesome service of Flipkart. Keep it up.
Oh! and as for the camera, i think its a good buy for its price.
Canon Powershots are known for their reliability and performance. It's true even for their least-expensive beginner-oriented Powershot A800.
This is possibly the best choice for those who are new to photography.
There is the great 'Smart Auto' mode for complete automation.
But there is also a "P" mode where you can adjust 3 Autofocus options, control Flash, adjust Exposure and/or select from around 10 preset scene modes (like Fireworks, Blur Reduction, Long Shutter, Portrait, Sunset, Beach etc.)
The lack of an Image Stabilizer (IS) is NOT felt with a decently-steady hand. (Yo... (Expand)
+ Very good snaps in both day and night.
+ Good battery.
+ Satisfactory image stabilization
+ Looks nice and small in size.
+ Canon's Trust
- Average zoom (3.3x)
- Flash needs much time to power up.
Overall, If you want a digicam below 4K, dont think. Just buy and you will never regret !
If you have a higher budget (above 5K) then there are better products in market.

Authorities say a Newnan man has died after being critically injured in an explosion at Amicalola Propane in Dawson County earlier this month.
The Times of Gainesville reports (http://bit.ly/SJaAL7) that 45-year-old Jimmy Lassetter died Thursday at Grady Memorial Hospital's burn unit.
Authorities say the explosion happened Dec. 5 while workers were unloading a truck carrying a shipment of residential propane tanks. The tanks collided with each other, shearing the valve from one tank and spraying a cloud of propane, which ignited.
Deputy Fire Chief Tim Satterfield, who serves as the county fire marshal, said Monday the explosion has been classified as an accident.
Another worker, Casey Rickett of Dawsonville, was hospitalized for burns but and has been released from Grady.
The accident happened about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta.

The Wheeling Nailers season-high, six-game winning streak came to and end, but they salvaged a point in a 5-4 shootout loss in Greenville, South Carolina.
The Nailers squandered a 4-2, third-period lead.
The Nailers did scored a power-play goal in its 11th straight game, off the stick of Luke Pither (8). Wheeling's Paul Crowder and Chris Barton each a goal, and both share the team-lead with nine goals on the season.
Greenville's Brandon Wong scored a pair of third-period goals against Wheeling netminder Peter Delmas to send the game to overtime.
Danny Hobbs beat Delmas in the sixth round of the shootout to preserve the victory.
The same two teams meet at the Bi-Lo Center on Friday night.

Water has been draining out from the hole caused by the round, and the city of Dunedin is working to get the damage repaired.
"This ranks right up there with one of the more stupid things I've seen," said Dunedin City Engineer Tom Burke. "What was he thinking?"
Fitzgerald claimed he was looking for his lost dog, according to investigators. He was arrested for discharging a firearm and using a firearm while under the influence.
"I tell you, people are nuts anymore, and he lives on this street?" said nearby resident Marsha Weaver.
She didn't know Fitzgerald, but other neighbors who did were shocked. They say he does a lot of handy work for his friends.
"He's the type of person that would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it," said neighbor Joe Harris.
Yet, this is one fix it job Fitzgerald won't be doing. Instead, the City of Dunedin will have to foot the hefty bill.
"The early estimates range from $100,00 to $200,000," Burke explained.
The damage won't really affect residents in Dunedin, but it will have a huge impact on the golf course.
"They're prepared to live without irrigating the main parts of the golf course, but there's a pretty serious concern for being able to maintain the condition of the green," Burke said.
In the meantime, there is an unwanted water fountain of sorts in the City of Dunedin.
"It's too far out, it's just ridiculous," said Martha.
"It's certainly a waste of utility money," Burke added.

Fund set up to help Christmas club theft victims
6:50pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Hannah White
A FUNDRAISING group has been set up to help people in Shrewton whose money was stolen from the Royal Oak Christmas thrift club.
Shrewton Parish Council has set up a PayPal account for people to donate and plans for fundraising events, including a football match, are underway.
Donations will also be collected at the village's Christmas evening at Rollestone Manor next Friday from 6.30pm.
More than 60 families, including young children, paid money into the scheme each week and they were due to get their money back this week.
But the estimated £29,000 has disappeared and the pub landlord, Malcolm Levesconte, 59, has not been seen since Sunday.
Police have confirmed he boarded a ferry from Portsmouth to St Malo in France that evening and an international manhunt is underway to track him down.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact Salisbury CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.
To donate, visit shrewton.com.

Qt Dev Days 2009: Nokia Extends Qt Developer Frameworks
Chief of the Qt Software division at Nokia, Sebastian Nyström, officially opened the Qt Developer Days 2009 conference in Munich and promised growth for Qt.
Nokia wants to increase the development budget for its Qt division and hire new developers, at least according to the head of Qt development and vice president at Nokia, Sebastian Nyström, at the opening keynote of the Qt Developer Days in Munich.
Nokia has lot of plans for the Qt UI developer framework. Naturally Qt should become the best and widest known -- what software untertaking doesn't want that -- and it should be available on as many different devices as possible. Nyström mentions rapid trains and coffee machines. In fact, Qt ran on the machines that gave the Dev Days participants their daily caffeine fix.
700 participants attended the conference, compared to 500 the previous year. 2009 proved to be the year of the Qt Creator IDE and the ports for the Qt Development Framework (such as the QNX and VxWorks real-time operating systems). Nyström also patted himself on the back for Qt 4.5 being released under LGPL early this year. The downloads have grown 250% in 2009 to around one million. So far the Qt framework has included about 400 contributions from the community.
During the course of 2008 Nyström became head at Qt and a Nokia VP. Previous to his five years at Nokia he had been a project lead at McKinsey. Linux Magazine Online produced a video of him at the 2008 Qt Dev Days, in which he spoke of why Nokia needs Qt and of Nokia's open source commitment, and revealed whether he had himself ever developed using Qt.

Background to my question:
I recently saw Laurence Krauss at the global atheist convention where he did a presentation. He explained about dark matter and dark energy and showed a graphic of particles popping in and out of existence in the vacuum of nothingness.
It brings to mind "the ether."
Whenever I imagine light travelling through space, I incorrectly imagine Newton's cradle. Something bumping the fabric of "space" at one end, a wave propagating through space and a photon popping out the other end.
Just like AC electrical theory, electrons don't travel from the power station to your home, it's more like Newton's cradle. You bang an electron in to one end of the copper and an electron bounces out the other end.
So with light, I can't help but incorrectly visualise that the "dark" part of our universe exists where we are not. That it can exist in the crystal lattice of transparent objects like glass, partially in water. i.e. if light can travel through it, this is where the "dark" universe is.
Has the passage of a photon been detected without intercepting the photon? Has it been proven that it is not a wave through a medium with a proton jumping out the end, like an electron in copper wire? Is it possible to detect a proton passing by, without stopping it? All of the sensors I know of detect the proton when the proton hits it. But this fits in with my concept of "newtons cradle." It doesn't disprove the ether in the "dark" to me. But my concept of this does not include the maths, it is beyond me. I can only understand the verbal concepts of this.
The Question.
When Einstein discarded the either, did it disprove it in the model of the universe that has dark energy and dark matter? Could whatever contains dark energy be the ether?
Because if it does, the universe makes a whole lot more sense to me.

so i have a gym rant to share. also wanted to see if you guys have had any similar experiences.
as im sitting on this bench resting before i do my second set of DB presses i notice some guy come down the steps to my gym. following right behind him is apparently his woman. i would say they were both in their late teens. and you know how you can look at someone sometimes and say to yourself "that guy is a d-bag"... well, he fit the description to a tee. my gym is in the basement of a very small community center. of all the people who have memberships here i would say i know 95% of them. so when a new person comes in it grabs my attention. i give him a nod hello as im listening to my mp3 player and he looks right at me but ignores me. then his girls looks at me and gives me a pretty dirty look. i dont let it bother me and continue with my workout.
after finishing my set i put my DB's back on the rack and sit down to rest for a minute. well, he goes over to the DB rack and grabs the ones i was just using for my presses. they were 70 lbs each. he takes them off the rack, of course pausing beforehand to roll up his shirtsleeves to reveal his toothpick arms, and attempts to curl them. his attempt was...........unsuccessful. but he still threw the DB's down to the ground like he was some kind of bad*** and then him and his girl turn and mug the **** out of me. it doesnt bother me in the slightest. so i set up my BB to do my deads and the whole time hes talking to her telling her how much of a "beast" he is, and all this crap. yet he isnt lifting any weights. hes just sitting on a bench telling her how awesome he is. and shes eating it up, all the while continuing to mug me...
as i said before, i have a small gym. so it was only the 3 of us there. anyway, i put 240 lbs on my bar and got 6 reps on my deadlift. i am fully aware this is not an impressive amount. but, i wasnt TRYING to impress anyone. i was continuing MY WORKOUT peacefully. i guess he thought i was trying to show him up in front of his girl because she was watching me as i did it. i did nothing to try to attract her attention. she just happened to watch. so i walk over to sit down on a nearby bench and rest and this toolbag walks over to my bar. as hes still talking about how "beast" he is, he bends over and grabs it. the girl looks at me, i look at her like "he really shouldnt be doing this", shaking my head no. and he yanks that bar up off the ground about 5 inches with his back breaking right in front of my eyes and he drops it. so i offer some friendly advice.
"dude, you dont wanna do that. you could seriously hurt yourself man. why dont you set up a bar with a little lower weight?"
him - "dawg, im a BEAST! you think this **** is HARD??"
his girl is starting to realize he shouldnt be doing this and is telling him to leave it alone. so he tells her to shut her mouth. at that point i got pissed and didnt care to sugarcoat any longer.
me - "look, your back is ************ breaking! you need to check your ego buddy because if you try that again with that ***** form youre going to snap in half like the twig you are!"
that was after SEVERAL attempts to tactfully tell him he shouldnt try it anymore along with the prodding of his woman. do you think he listened? Nope. he tried to do it again and this time he got a couple inches higher but then dropped it and let out a very loud expletive. then.......... he crumbled to the floor......... clutching his lower back............ writhing in immense pain...............
my reaction? i rolled the bar away from his body laying on the floor and finished my second set. it was the final lift of the day so i put all my weights back up.......and looked at him STILL laying on the floor saying "i cant move! my back! ************* MY BACK!"..................and i said "thats why you leave your woman at home. dude, youre a BEAST! you dont need her here! plus its alot more embarassing for you when you make yourself look like a jack***"
i stepped over his body and continued up the steps and out the door. moral of the story - dont hurt yourself trying to impress your woman.
I may have "Love" on my head, but i have Hate in my heart.
Really? this REALLY happened? all i can say is wow, that guy is more tool than one of these ****ers:

This sounds almost fake, but given the people at the gym I've seen it doesn't surprise me.
I'm a littler guy but decently strong, and I laugh when people seem so inclined to think that they need to lift the same or more weight as me.
On an related note, I once was at the Y and I noticed these two bigger dudes kind of looking at me while I was deadlifting. I got done with my set and one of them came over to me (he had probably 50-60 lbs on me) and asked me if I could give him some pointers.

Interesting thing is he did do what he does and continued lifting his weights whilst the beast cried on the floor.
I agree with Elwood. Should have walked out with the girl. I'd just have tossed her over my shoulder. Might even have teabagged the dude on the floor or at least farted on his head.

Great story, i think we all have seen someone failing when he tried to look bad*ss. I have seen similar story in my gym too.
I think I would have pulled out my camera phone and told him to smile as he lay there crippled.. JUST so I could show everyone on WBB how douchy he was..

I think younger people these days, get too caught up on the numbers on the plates, and not there form. It seems "Pu$$y like" for someone their size to be lifting alot more than them. And as long as this happening I think we will see alot more injuries in the gym.
Its stupid when you think about it, would I rather try to lift 240 pounds and hurt myself, just to TRY to look like a big man, or a BEAST? This guy sounds like an idiot.
Great story by the way.
I hope Da Beast learns a lesson yo.
In Philly we had these toothpick Dbags who would come into the gym, put 135 on the squat bar, go down half an inch, then scream at the top of their lungs after every set was completed. After 6 months, the guy looked exactly the same. There are people like that, especially in inner cities. Still, the story almost seems too good to be true.

MARION COUNTY, TN (WRCB) -- Medical bills are driving up the costs of operating local jails and the Marion County Sheriff is trying to take some of the burden off taxpayers.
Just recently the Marion County Jail had to deal with some inmates developing a mysterious rash. They were quarantined and checked by the doctor as a precaution. It turned out to be nothing contagious, but still, treating inmates' medical needs takes time and taxpayer money.
Sheriff Ronnie 'Bo' Burnett now has inmates paying a co-pay towards treatment if they can.
"It's a constant strain to deal with the medical part of it," says Sheriff Burnett.
Burnett says it can be a challenge maintaining the jail's budget while providing medical care for inmates.
"Like I tell people, it's a jail. It's not a motel. I'm sorry we don't have everything they want, but we spend a lot of money in Marion county each year providing medical care for these people," he says.
It can cost up to $200,000 a year. That provides for a full-time doctor and nurse staff, as well as unexpected emergency medical treatment.
"I was showing you a bill here for a guy that was brought in last month, DUI, and at some point had a heart attack and I've got a $15,000 bill right now I'm going to have to try to see what I can do about," says Burnett.
He says you never know what might contaminate an inmate population and that goes for any jail.
"A lot of those people don't take care of themselves, I don't think take care of themselves properly outside the jail. Then when they come in, they're all mingling together. You're going to have problems like that."
Burnett is now taking action.
"I don't taxpayers ought to have to put out for everything," he says.
Burnett now has inmates help pay for treatment.
"We initiated about 3 months ago a co-pay. If they have money on the books and they request to see the doctor, we're trying to get some of the money back," says Burnett.
Burnett says the co-pay is usually no more than $15.
Just to put his budget in perspective, we checked with the Hamilton County Jail.
Officials there say with cutbacks to mental health facilities across the state, they have seen an increase in inmates who require mental health care treatment.
The Hamilton County Jail has a medical care contract with Erlanger for $423,000 a year and an additional $250,000 contract for pharmaceutical needs.

We booked our own airfare as booking through NCL seemed quite excessive. I understand that the price includes transport to/from the airport or hotel, but we figured it couldn't be that difficult to make our own arrangements. We saved a bundle on airfare this way (found 2 RT from Denver to Barcelona with one stop for $700 each). We arrived in Barcelona the day before the cruise embarked and managed to easily find the right aerobus to take us to the Plaza Catalunya, an easy walking distance to our hotel. The Hotel Continental Barcelona is located at the upper end of La Rambla. It is rather old and quaint, but comfortable and pleasant, and we wanted something close to La Rambla and the Gothic Quarter. The front desk service was very friendly and helpful, and we would recommend staying here for the price and location. Your rate includes a breakfast and dinner buffet (nothing special, but decent), and complimentary wine, beer, juices and coffee at all hours of the day.
We spent that first day in a rather zombie-like state, having had almost zero sleep in the past 24 hours. We walked along La Rambla after checking into our room (they had a room ready for us even though it was only 9:30 a.m. and check-in isn't until 2:00), napped a little in the early afternoon, then took the metro to see Gaudi's Sagrada Familia. BTW, the metro is pretty easy to understand and get around in, and this is coming from someone who has never had to deal with this kind of transportation before (especially in a foreign country). Walked La Rambla some more, ate at a Tapas Bar and sipped sangrias, meandered through the Gothic Quarter and found some random music and dancing, bought some pastries, enjoyed the atmosphere, then went back to the hotel to collapse for the night.
The morning of embarkation, we were planning on sharing a cab with two ladies (a mother and daughter also staying at Hotel Continental and cruising on Jade) to get to the ship. Found out there was a marathon taking place that included La Rambla, so the whole area was cordoned off and no taxis allowed anywhere near. So the four of us hoofed it to the metro (lugging all our luggage) and made it to the Columbus statue where we found the blue bus that took us to the ship. It really didn't end up being that inconvenient to do it this way and we saved a bundle of money (turns out the taxis that were running had to drop their fares off at the statue instead of being able to take them directly to the ship due to the course of the marathon).
Embarkation was a breeze, and we were there before noon. The short lines that formed went rather quickly, and next thing we knew we were on the ship. They were very quick to inform you as to where you could safely stow your carry-on bags (the big suitcases were left at the port entry) so you are free to wander the ship and/or grab lunch at the Garden Cafe until your cabin is ready. I was very impressed with the timeframe between boarding and being able to go to our cabins, as well as the quick delivery of the rest of our luggage.
We booked a balcony cabin on the 9th deck. I came prepared (having read other recommendations) with an over-the-door hanging storage (which I didn't end up needing) and extension cord with extra outlets (which I did end up needing). Otherwise there was plenty of space and storage in our room and the closet came with enough hangers (although I brought extra and used a few of them anyway). I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the cabin and especially the bathroom and shower. And the beds were exceptionally comfortable. LOVED having the balcony for the extra light, fresh air, view and privacy.
No complaints about the ship overall. It was clean and well-maintained. Easy to maneuver and figure out where you are and where you're going. The Garden Cafe had decent food and pretty good selection (we ate most breakfasts there except for room service on excursion days and once in the Grand Pacific). The Blue Lagoon has passable fare but the service is mediocre at best. We ate almost all dinners in either the Grand Pacific or the Alizar and liked both atmospheres. The food was good-to-great (only once did they overcook the fish). It felt weird the first night to have a three-course dinner in a nice restaurant and then just get up and leave (instead of waiting for the bill). We splurged one night at Le Bistro (it was part of our anniversary package), and really enjoyed it. We would recommend at least one meal there even if you don't do one of the romance packages. Our biggest complaint about the restaurants (Alizar, Grand Pacific, Garden Cafe and Blue Lagoon) is that the service really went downhill the last two days on the ship. Longer waits before orders were taken and between courses (Grand Pacific and Alizar), servers in the Garden Cafe were slow to help you (they served the food the last two days rather than letting you help yourself -- mostly because of the small virus outbreak after visiting Egypt), and the already mediocre service in the Blue Lagoon became almost non-existent!
The nightly entertainment in the Stardust Theater was pretty good. We enjoyed the Spanish ballet and Extreme Vegas, and caught the comedy act and danced the night away in the Spinnaker Lounge. There was lots of entertainment available, but we chose to relax on our balcony, enjoy the live music by the pool, soak in the hot tubs, partake of the many alcoholic beverage tastings (very worth the $15 pp), chat with new acquaintances (most especially the two ladies we met at our hotel in Barcelona) or play gin rummy on our days at sea. For budget reasons, we didn't spend any time at the spa.

Chicago Cubs general manager Jim Hendry was dismissed because the Cubs didn't win a whole lot in the last couple of seasons, which is why most GMs are fired. There isn't anything specifically "Cubby" about that. The Cubs lose, the GM gets fired, a new GM is hired, the Cubs lose, the GM gets fired ... it's the cycle of life. You could put almost any team's name in place of the Cubs, and it would still work.
But it wouldn't be a Cubs firing without something specifically Cubby. Things were looking bleak when this story broke, though. It seemed like every other GM-being-fired story from the past decade. Come on, Cubs. Can't you throw us something unusual and interesting?
Hendry said Tom Ricketts told him he wasn't being brought back on July 22nd!
Ah. Perfect. Now we know that things are right with the universe, that there's a natural order. The Cubs today dismissed their GM, who was fired a month ago. That's like the opening sentence in a Tom Wolfe book about the Cubs. It's poetry.
The lifeblood of a rebuilding/retooling franchise is the draft. Hendry was supposedly staying on to help with the signing of this year's draft class. Fair enough. It was an important job, and all of the credit in the world goes to Hendry for staying on after he was already fired. He could have done things to sabotage the franchise, like ask the moms of each draftee out on a date. Preferably via multiple 3:00 a.m. phone calls. If the Cubs didn't like it, and if a couple of draft picks didn't sign because of it, well, they shouldn't have fired him. At least, that's what I would have done. Keep that in mind, Baseball Nation.
No, Hendry stayed on to help one of the crucial parts of a team in trouble. But by doing so, the Cubs completely neglected one of the other crucial steps a rebuilding team has to take -- acquiring prospects for veterans at the trading deadline. It's not like the Cubs were going to flip Alfonso Soriano for Mike Trout, but they had some movable parts, such as Carlos Peña, Marlon Byrd, Carlos Marmol and Jeff Baker. They didn't move anyone but Kosuke Fukudome, who carried a suitcase stuffed with millions to Cleveland. Hendry wasn't worried:
"Everybody gets all (upset), 'If you didn't do something by 3 o'clock today, this is a disaster.' I don't put much stock into that. The guys we kept, for the most part, are guys that still have a chance to be involved next year. And if we do make a trade or two in August, that's no more or less significant than if we made them today."
That's pretty standard GM-speak. At least, it is until you realize that the quote came from somebody who was already fired. Re-reading it now, it's basically code for, "Hey, if the next guy wants to come in and trade some guys in a couple of weeks, he can be my guest. They don't want me touching anything. They even took my key to the supply closet. Now I'm out of binder clips. That's sort of my main concern now."
The Red Sox were reportedly interested in Jeff Baker, who is the exact sort of player the Cubs should have traded. He's 30, not a key part of a rebuilding effort, and his best attribute -- playing multiple positions -- is lost on a team that needs to find good players. But the Cubs held on to him. The Red Sox moved on, trading some interesting young players to the Royals for Mike Aviles.
Marlon Byrd isn't that much different than Hunter Pence. Heck, he's cheaper. He could have brought back a nifty prospect or two. No trade. Carlos Peña is going to be a free agent, and there were a couple of teams that would have liked his left-handed power. No trade. Carlos Marmol is a closer having a down year, but he's also signed for the next two seasons. Maybe the Cubs could have gotten something half as good as the Padres got for Mike Adams? No trade.
So, in the end, it was a GM firing, Cubs-style. They couldn't just do it like a normal team. They couldn't do it in May, when it was clear the team stunk, and they couldn't do it after the trading deadline because they didn't trust the guy they didn't fire earlier to make any more trades. It's amazing. It's fantastic. It's Cubs.

Clint Bowyer Race Summary: No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota driver Clint Bowyer finished fifth in Sunday's 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Dover International Speedway. Bowyer started fourth and raced in the top 10 throughout the race. Just past the halfway mark, Bowyer made a bold move on a restart to climb into second place. The finish marks the Michael Waltrip Racing driver's second top-five and sixth top-10 finish in 2012. The finish also enabled him to move from 12th to 10th in points. The No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota team returns to action next weekend at Pocono International Raceway testing Wednesday and Thursday then beginning a normal race weekend on Friday.
BOWYER QUOTE: What did you think of your finish at Dover? "It was good weekend all in all for our 5-hour ENERGY Toyota. That outside line on the restarts at the end kind of cost us a couple spots. Nobody had anything for the 48 (Jimmie Johnson). We just have to keep digging. We have to keep getting better. This was a great confidence booster for our team -- a young team together and everything else. I'm proud of the guys, proud of the progress that we've made. We still have some room to grow."

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign (as the song goes). I responded to someone in the threads earlier today that trying to read the recruiting tea-leaves should only be done as a form of entertainment. Anyone who seriously thinks they know what these young guys are going to do, especially when they so often take pains to make their intentions as opaque as possible when it comes to their college choice, is kidding themselves.
With that said, it's fun to speculate, and I enjoy trying to connect the non-existent dots and occasionally indulge in the idea that my perception is somehow special. It's not, of course – even if I get them right, it's as much luck as anything.
Which brings us to the Aaron Gordon decision. As JC told us earlier, Gordon is going to be a Wildcat, but one of the blue and red persuasion instead of the proper Blue and White. We know that John Calipari doesn't lose many recruiting battles, but we also know that Julius Randle just committed to UK, and Randle and Gordon play the same presumptive position – power forward.
Then comes Dave Telep to tell us that, oh, by the way, Arizona is also loaded at the 4 spot. So why did Gordon go there instead of to Kentucky? Telep goes on to explain that Gordon really wants to try his hand at the 3. Immediately, if you're paying attention, you'll note that, wait a minute, Kentucky is notably lacking depth at the 3 spot right now. With Archie Goodwin heading to the Big Boys League, we have only James Young to play the three and also serve as the reserve 2 guard. Yes, Potheress could provide depth there if he stays, also, but it's a position he's going to have to learn.
Then, of course, there's Andrew Wiggins, the ultimate wing forward that Kentucky would love to plug right into that under-manned 3-spot. Could it be that Gordon knows more about what Wiggins has in mind than the rest of us, and knew that time at the three would be hard to find at Kentucky? Well, probably not. He probably picked Arizona for all kinds of good reasons unrelated to playing time at Kentucky. I just wanted to stick that thought in your head for the fun of it.
Speaking of fun, if Wiggins does pick Kentucky, it would make Kentucky perhaps the most versatile college team since the 1996 Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky could field two complete teams of Burger Boys, something even Rick Pitino couldn't approach. Willie Cauley-Stein would be the only player on the scholarship roster who wasn't a Mickey D, assuming Poythress stays. I know than North Carolina and probably others have had starting lineups with McDonald's All-Americans, but has anyone ever been able to field two completely different lineups with Mickey D's from the same team? Anybody? Beuller?
Tomorrow is the McDonalds All-America game, and we'll see six for sure and possibly seven McDonald's All-Americans that will attend Kentucky next year. Andrew Wiggins would make seven, and seven has a much nicer ring to it than six.
Don't you think?

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Playing four games in as many days takes a toll. Playing Conference USA's regular season champion on its home floor proved too much for Marshall to overcome.
DeAndre Kane scored 16 points, and Marshall's run through the league tournament ended Saturday with an 87-53 loss to Memphis.
"We didn't close the deal," Marshall coach Tom Herrion said. "We're disappointed with the loss. I'm proud of this group for what they have done this week in particular, and now we'll look forward to playing again."
Marshall (21-13) became the first No. 6 seed to reach the Conference USA tournament championship with a run that included a triple-overtime win over Tulsa in the quarterfinals. The Thundering Herd hadn't gotten past the quarterfinals before this week, and they wound up falling short in their first tournament final since 1997 in a loss to Chattanooga.
Now they will wait and see if a resume that includes a win over Cincinnati and a split with Atlantic Sun champ Belmont earns them a chance at their first NCAA tournament berth since 1987.
"I think Marshall is an NCAA tournament team," Memphis coach Josh Pastner said. "They deserve to be in the field."
Marshall ran into a Memphis team that is on a roll. The Tigers (26-8) won their seventh straight game overall while grabbing the league's automatic NCAA tournament berth and the 15th consecutive tournament win on their own court. The Tigers are 31-8 all-time in tournament games played in Memphis.
"We're just clicking now," said Will Barton, who added 18 points and 13 rebounds. "Guys know their roles now. Know what coach wants us to do. We're coming out with a lot of energy and passion, and I think that's the main thing. .. We've always had the elite-level talent.
Jackson also had six assists, Wesley Witherspoon had 11 points and Chris Crawford and Ferrakhon Hall each had 10. Jackson called the win one of the Tigers' best performances in forcing Marshall to take a lot of bad shots, even though he still thinks they were better in an 87-67 win at Marshall on Feb. 25.
Kane led Marshall with 16 points. Damier Pitts had 12 and Shaquille Johnson 10.
"We ran into a team that's playing as well as any team in America," Herrion said. "That team might be the most improved team in the country over the last three or four weeks, and they played that way. Obviously, we played uphill on the fourth day and had to play from behind. .When you are playing down from that margin, on the road, in this environment, on their home floor, you exert so much energy."
Marshall could only get within 57-44 on a fast-break layup by Kane. Memphis answered with consecutive 3s first by Barton, then his brother, Antonio Barton. Hall dunked to push the lead to 65-44 with 7:17 left. The Tigers pushed that to as much as 26 down the stretch before Pastner subbed out en masse with 1:20 left to a standing ovation.
The Tigers wound up shooting 57.7 percent (26 of 44) from the floor and a sizzling 25 of 27 at the free throw line (92.6 percent). They even managed to outrebound C-USA's top rebounding team 33-30. Marshall shot just 35.5 percent (22 of 62).
Memphis took control with a 17-2 run in the first half that featured the Tigers hitting all eight attempts at the free throw line, the last four by Witherspoon for a 28-18 lead.
Fatigue seemed to catch up with the Thundering Herd as they finished the half hitting only three of their final 15 shots. Memphis had no such problems with a heavy blue home crowd ready to cheer and provide an extra boost of energy whenever needed.
"We played tough, and it was a tough tournament for us," Kane said. "Four games, and we came up short today . They outplayed us today. We'll suck this loss up."

Greensburg —
Thursday morning, the Board of Directors of the Greensburg's First Federal Savings & Loan presented a $100,000 commitment for the "Reach" Campaign, which officially launches in early January.
In providing this historic gift, First Federal has demonstrated local pride and leadership, while setting the tone and pace for the upcoming capital campaign to benefit Decatur County Memorial Hospital (DCMH).
Hospital Foundation Board President Cleo Duncan was among the team members accepting the contribution, saying, "This gift demonstrates the commitment of First Federal, not only to our hospital, but to this wonderful community. Their generosity provides a shining example for others in the area that could provide support for the improvements, which include a new Cancer Care unit, Physical Therapy and Hearing Center."
Jim Saler, President and CEO of First Federal Savings & Loan commented, "As a locally-owned, hometown, financial institution, we have an appreciation for the important role DCMH plays in the economic vitality of our area. In addition, we understand the importance of its services for our customers and our community, so it was logical that we would give back in this manner."
The current expansion underway at DCMH is part of Phase I construction and includes a new third and fourth floor, which will house the new medical-surgical unit and feature all private rooms. Patient rooms are able to be named by businesses, families and organizations.
The campaign, which launches after the first of the year, will bring added focus to the second phase of the project. Phase II should include a new ground-floor Cancer-Care Unit, Physical Therapy, Hearing Center, additional parking and other renovations.
DCMH President and CEO Linda Simmons stated, "All of our planned improvements will positively impact patient privacy, comfort and convenience. We are so grateful for First Federal Savings & Loan, as well as for other businesses and individuals who recognize the importance of having a strong local hospital and, through their generous giving, of supporting our not-for-profit efforts."
The Hospital Foundation's DCMH Associate Campaign began this week, with the campaign's public portion launching immediately after the New Year. For more information about the Hospital Foundation, visit www.dcmh.net/foundation or www.facebook.com/dcmhfoundation. For more information on the Reach Campaign, visit www.dcmh.net/campaign or call the Hospital Foundation at 663-1220.

A woman accused of burglarizing offices at the University of Georgia had left her children and disappeared from her Illinois home about a month earlier.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports that family members of 33-year-old Linda Fellenbaum reported her missing Oct. 25 from Joliet, Ill. A police spokesman said they made exhaustive efforts to find her because there were concerned about the whereabouts of her three children. Two were found with relatives in Illinois and Wisconsin and the third had been put up for adoption.
Fellenbaum made her way to Georgia, where she took a job as a housekeeper. Then she was spotted entering offices and taking computer equipment from the Georgia's hotel and conference center on Nov. 27. University police say she was arrested at the Atlanta airport.

To the editor:
I wish to applaud Bruce Tarr for his decision to not seek the vacant U.S. Senate seat as reported in the Times (Page 1, Saturday, Feb. 16).
His two-fold position cited "... his comitments to the state level and a hesitancy to enter a polarized, partisan Washington political environment."
As to his first reason against bolting into national politics, the Minority Leader of the state Senate cited his commitment tounfinished business in upcoming legislation, including welfare reform and in criminal issues.
I am reminded here of a phrase in the late Herbert Kenny's book "Cape Ann: Cape America," when the Rev. William Bentley of Salem was offered the presidency of the University of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson. He refused, saying that he preferred to stay with his flock. Congratulations to Bruce Tarr for staying with his.
As to the other reason for doing so, if he were to miraculously survive this race, he would dive into the polarized gridlock of political Washington, leaving behind his flock and the significant contributiions he continues to take on its behalf in the commonwealth. There may well be another time more favorable for that.
Congratulations to Bruce Tarr for his staying the course.

If you're looking to find two plays that led the Oklahoma City Thunder to lose for the first time in the postseason on Friday night, you'll find them in the closing minute. With about 50 seconds left, the Thunder forced Kobe Bryant to miss jumpers twice ... but failed to get the rebound on either brick. The Lakers star drew a shooting foul on his third attempt, and nailed a pair to put L.A. back on top by one. They wouldn't trail again.
They wouldn't trail again because the Thunder failed to score on their next trip, one in which Kevin Durant completely schooled his defender on a wicked crossover, hit Serge Ibaka with a pass and ... watched Ibaka back up and take a tough baseline jumper, which smacked iron. Durant lost the offensive rebound attempt, the Lakers hit the rest of their free throws, and the game was over.
But before those two plays, a critical whistle got the Lakers, who'd been struggling to score, back on top.
On the Lakers' possession before the double rebound fail, Kobe drew a foul on James Harden ... 23 feet from the basket ... where Bryant posed no threat. It would have been a really awful foul ... if it were a foul at all. It was one of the more ticky-tack fouls you'll see, just some light contact that could have been incidental and certainly didn't disadvantage the Lakers in any way.
The Thunder were in the penalty, and Kobe hit both. In the fourth, the Lakers scored 30. Seventeen of those came on 18 free throw attempts; the Lakers got to the line for a pair in nine possessions, and got 17 points out of it, or 1.9 points per possession. L.A. scored 13 points on 17 official shots from the floor in the fourth, or 0.8 points per possession. The Lakers had trouble scoring when they were not at the line in the fourth quarter on Friday, and that awful foul class basically gave L.A. an extra point.
That's all L.A. needed.

The Daily Five: Best Cross-Gen Improvements
We had the chance to enjoy a ton of amazing games this past generation that left us speechless and in awe of where gaming was going. Naughty Dog was a key contributor to this with Uncharted and The Last of Us. However, now that this generation is drawing to a close, we can look forward to the improvements that the next generation of consoles are going to bring with it. This is easiest to do with games that are cross-gen because we can compare PlayStation 3 iterations to their PlayStation 4 counterparts.
Here are the five games making the biggest leap.
NBA 2K14 is one of the more impressive cross-gen titles. The changes are staggering and very obvious. 2K Sports has done a fantastic job creating a player likeness that you sometimes need to take a second look to make sure you're seeing a game. If they continue in this direction, NBA 2K17 is going to look downright lifelike and very creepy all at the same time.
Madden NFL 25
Madden NFL 25, like NBA 2K14, offers a significant increase in visual fidelity. The difference between RG3 on PlayStation 3 and RG3 on PlayStation 4 is blatantly obvious; even if you're not a fan of EA Sports or its yearly football title, it's hard to argue against how good the players look. Hopefully as EA becomes more and more comfortable with this new hardware, the players start to look better and better.
