So, have you been a righteous dude or babe this year? Hoping that Santa
will put some bitchin' 80s themed
presents under your tree? And, of course, it's the time of year for,
like, hot apple cider (and hot toddies), carol singing, and thirty
varieties of cookies.
(But if Mom thinks I'm putting on that gnarly reindeer sweater again for
the family card photo, she can totally think again. I'm so sure, Mom!)
Crank up these
tubular holiday tunes to get in the mood for the season. There were,
like, a bazillion of totally radical holiday
songs, so I
chose my top dozen and listed some more at the bottom of the page. Give
them a listen while you deck your halls, wrap your gifts, and trim your
tree. You could even make a special holiday mix tape for that
80's-loving boy or girl on your list.
12. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" by Mel Smith and Kim Wilde
This single was recorded for Comic Relief, a British charity that aids
international famine, in 1987. You'll recognize Kim Wilde as the singer
of hits like "Kids in America" and "You Keep Me Hanging On." If Mel
Smith seems unfamiliar, then you're not British; he was a famous sketch
comedic actor in Great Britain and is a current stage actor. Peggy Lee
first recorded this playful Christmas classic in 1958.
11. "Rock and Roll Christmas" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
I challenge you to listen to this song and not do the twist in your
computer chair. Impossible! This early eighties Christmas video features
some cool sax playing and great dancing by the crew at MTV. (I see you,
Alan Hunter!)
10. "Funky, Funky Christmas" by New Kids on the Block
This boy band had the girls swooning with their syncopated choreography
and mild-mannered funk. I love this 1989 Christmas tune (off their
double platinum album "Merry, Merry Christmas") as
performed on the Arsenio Hall show. Also check out the mournfully sweet
"I'll Be Missing You Come Christmas" "This One's for the
Children" from the
same album.
9. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" by Elmo & Patsy
This silly hit had us gleefully singing along in the early eighties. Poor
Grandma, who'd been drinking too much eggnog and forgot her medication,
met disaster at the hands of Santa. It's full of awesome lines like
"incriminating Claus marks on her back" and "They should never give a
license to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves." The song was
first written and performed in 1979, but the video was released in 1983
and the album came out in 1984, so I'm calling this one a legitimate
child of the eighties.
8. "Christmas in Hollis" by Run-DMC
In 1987, Run-DMC gifted us with this holiday gem about Christmas on Hollis
Avenue in Queens. Check out the Wizard on the naughty/nice Santa
computer. And that elf is TOTALLY naughty! It was part of the album "A
Very Special Christmas"
that benefitted the Special Olympics. Since '87, a new version of this
benefit album has been released yearly.
7. "Christmas Is the Time to Say I Love You" by Billy Squier
This 1981 video is worth watching alone for the clips of MTV VJ's like
Martha Quinn and Mark Goodman, but the song is exuberant holiday fun. It
makes me so nostalgic for the early days of MTV.
6. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" by John Mellencamp
Also part 1987's "A Very Special Christmas" album, this tune is perfect
for John Mellencamp's boyish southern voice. It's so adorable in every
way, and it almost makes me forget the angstful confusion that earlier
versions of this song created in me when I was a little kid. Also, HOW
CUTE is that little girl singing at the end?
5. "Frosty the Snowman" by Leon Redbone and Dr. John
This 1988 version of the classic song is totally fabulous. You would have
to be a total Grinch to not dig these dudes' folksy, scratchy voices in
this bouncy retelling of Frosty's story. Bumpity bump-bump, bumpity
4. "Jingle Bell Rock" by Hall and Oates
Prepare to snicker at this way-corny 1985 song and video. Hee hee.
Clearly, Daryl and John were having a blast when they acted in it.
Interesting factoid: there are both "Daryl" and "John" versions of this
song, both recorded in 1985. Scroll down and
find both here.
I'm on team Daryl for this one.
3. "Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid
Bob Geldolf and Midge Ure organized this musical gathering of famous
musicians to benefit victims of famine in Ethiopia. We bought the 45's
to give as Christmas gifts in 1984, and we still love the song today.
Side note: Watching the video just now solved a decades-old mystery for
me. I always sang "There's a world outside your window, and it's a world
of stratosphere..." and thought the lyrics were kinda bizarre. Silly me –
it's "a world of dreaded fear!"
2. "2000 Miles" by The Pretenders
Oh, I'm crazy about this song. It's glorious wonderful-ness helps ease the
aural horror of Mannheim Steamroller that I'm occasionally subjected to
in December. (*shudder*) I love Chrissy Hynde's rich voice, I love the
melody, I love the sentiment. This 1983 tune is a year-round treat, but
absolutely lovely at this time of year.
1. "Last Christmas" by Wham!
This 1984 encapsulates the joy of the season so perfectly that it just
makes me smile. Sure, it's about unrequited love and angst, but
whatever. George Michaels' expressive eyes, the blowdried hairdos, those
80s fashions, and that high-production, catchy melody are sweet little
holiday treasures.
Have a totally awesome Christmas!

Frank Coonelly Sentenced For DUI Arrest
This was poorly handled by the Pirates. The arrest occurred in December, but the organization didn't release any word of it until the team was reporting to Bradenton for spring training. It certainly made it look as if they were trying to keep the news from going public. However, Coonelly and Nutting issued strong statements when they did finally address it. Connelly will enter a program for first-time offenders

Activision closing UK-based Call of Duty mobile studio
By Samit Sarkar on Mar 28, 2014 03.28.14
The Blast Furnace, the Leeds, U.K.-based Activision subsidiary that was created to develop mobile games, will close its doors by the end of this month, Activision confirmed to MCV. The decision follows a 30-day consultation period with The Blast Furnace's 47 employees, as required by U.K. law. "As we focus on our 2014 operating plan, we are aligning our resources against our anticipated business requirements," an Activision representative told Polygon in January. "We are exploring all our options regarding [The Blast Furnace]." In a statement to MCV, Activision said it had been unable to figure out a plan that would prevent the closure of The Blast Furnace, after "having explored a range of options, including a potential sale of the business." The consultation period has concluded,...

Pitfall! now free-to-play on iOS, update adds new Relic Rush mode
By Dave Tach on Nov 27, 2012 11.27.12
The iOS port of Pitfall!, the Temple Run-inspired remake of the classic 1982 Atari game, became permanently free-to-play today and added a new mode called Relic Rush, according to a post on One of Swords. A promotion that began recently to temporarily reduce the price to free is now permanent. Today's Relic Rush mode update introduces time trials, more hidden treasures and gives Pitfall Harry's outfits the ability to provide bonuses. Released earlier this year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original, the game is the first created by developer Blast Furnace, formerly known as Activision Leeds. Be sure to check out our review of Pitfall!, which called it a "fun, bombastic and greedy reimagining of the 1980s original" before you download the now-free game on the iOS App Store....

MythBusters' Adam Savage talks video games, from Pong to LAN parties
By Samit Sarkar on Nov 22, 2012 11.22.12
MythBusters' Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage joined the crew at Tested earlier this year, and Savage later began a brief, semi-regular podcast with the tech site's original editors, Will Smith and Norman Chan. The show doesn't have a name yet — even after more than 15 episodes — but the three forge on, and on the most recent episode of Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project, they discussed Savage's history playing video games. Savage recalled playing Pong as a pre-teen boy, and later enjoying titles like Pitfall! on his sister's boyfriend's Atari 2600, but video games didn't come to shape his youth in a major way — likely because he never had "unfettered access" to them. "It's not like I made a decision like 'I'd rather be doing something else,'" he explained to Chan and Smith. "[Video...

Activision-Blizzard launches social games platform
By Tracey Lien on Oct 30, 2012 10.30.12
Activision-Blizzard is launching its own social and mobile game platform after announcing two new Skylanders mobile games today.

Inside Mobile Apps reports that Activate will allow users to access mobile games by logging in with their Facebook credentials or with an Activate account. This will then give them access to their friends list. Some games, like the two upcoming Skylanders games, will support cloud storage, which will allow users to access their games on any iOS device. Inside Mobile Apps adds that Activate will be getting social multiplayer features later this year. Activision-Blizzard opened its first mobile-only studio, The Blast...
Activision's mobile studio renamed The Blast Furnace, adds former Rockstar Leeds president
By Samit Sarkar on Aug 09, 2012 08.09.12
The Blast Furnace is the new name of Activision Leeds, the publisher's only development house dedicated solely to mobile games, which recently hired former Rockstar Leeds president Gordon Hall. Activision originally opened its Leeds studio last November, and previously revealed the developer would be working on mobile and handheld Call of Duty games. Hall is the co-founder of Mobius Entertainment, a developer of Game Boy Advance titles, and comes to The Blast Furnace from a post as president of Rockstar Leeds, a studio known for handheld and mobile versions of games such as Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and The Warriors. He will act as the head of The Blast Furnace, and as chief creative officer for Activision Mobile. "We have to make sure we're innovating," Hall told GamesBeat,...

Rick Barnes has led the Texas Longhorns to two Elite Eights (2006, 2008) and one Final Four (2003). But all of that feels like a lifetime ago for many UT fans. They enter the 2011 NCAA Tournament Bracket a little lower than many thought they would be a few weeks ago. Now comes the time to prove themselves all over again when they take on the 13-seed Oakland Grizzlies at 12:15 p.m. on Friday, televised on CBS. The 2011 NCAA Tournament schedule is full of interesting games and upset possibilities and this game covers both those categories.
Texas entered the 2010-11 season as a team in transition, after losing their top three scorers – Damion James, Dexter Pittman and Avery Bradley – to the NBA, Justin Mason to graduation, and underclassmen Varez Ward and Shawn Williams to premature exits after injury problems. Highly regarded recruits Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph arrived to take some of the load, while seniors Gary Johnson and Dogus Balbay have assumed team leadership roles.
Oakland landed a spot on the NCAA Tournament bracket. Oakland won the Summit League tournament by beating Oral Roberts, 90-76, to clinch its ticket to the Big Dance. The Grizzlies were dominant in the Summit League tourney, winning three games by a combined 50 points. They went through the regular season with a 17-1 in-conference record and finished with an overall record of 25-9. Last year, head coach Greg Kampe led the Grizzlies to the NCAA tournament as a 14-seed and the Grizzlies lost to Pittsburgh in the first round.
Star Watch: Jordan Hamilton, the Texas sophomore, won three Big 12 player-of-the-week awards, averaging 18.6 and pulling down 7.7 boards per game while shooting 40 percent from behind the arc. He is a streak shooter, particularly from three-point territory, and has a knack for taking over games when he gets hot.
Prediction: This one feels like an upset-special but Texas should be able to survive a close class with a 70-65 win that pushes them into the next round.
More Reading: SB Nation's Texas blog Burnt Orange Nation will have everything you need to read about the Longhorns. And you can check out our Oakland team preview for more on the Grizzlies.

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas Arboretum exhibit by famed glass artist Chihuly (chuh-HOO'-lee) will run through the end of the year.
Arboretum officials Wednesday announced an extension of the original Nov. 5 closure date due to the popularity of the outdoor show.
Museum officials say more than 461,000 visitors have viewed the exhibit since the display opened May 5.
A June storm with hail the size of baseballs damaged some of the delicate Chihuly pieces. Several parts of the "Persian Pond" were broken and had to be replaced.

Public IM Services
From AIM to Meebo to Yahoo Messenger, here's a list of the leading public (and free) instanting messaging services.
The Internet has had a huge effect on the way we communicate with friends, family and co-workers. Giving out your e-mail address has become as commonplace as giving a phone number. While e-mail is considered to be the staple on online communicating, instant messaging is also common as it allows for real-time (i.e, immediate) contact with others.
By definition, Instant Messaging (IM) ienables you to create a type of private chat room with another individual in order to communicate in real-time over the Internet, analogous to a telephone conversation but using text-based communication. Typically, the instant messaging system alerts you whenever somebody on your private list is online. You can then initiate a chat session with that particular individual.
Instant Messaging FeaturesTo use IM to chat with others online you first need to decide which of the available free public services you want to use. You download the messaging client and sign-up for the service by creating a username and password. Once you have done that, you will then be able to communicate with others using the service. IM clients allow you to add users to a contact list, also called a buddy list. Once a user has been added to your contact list, you are then able to see that person's status, or presence — that is, whether they are online and available to chat, online but currently away from their computer, or offline. You can then initiate a real-time conversation with the person who is online. Depending on the service you use, this could be a text-based instant message, a text-based chat session,or voice chat session. Some services allow you to send a text message to a person who is not online. In this case the user will receive the message the next time he or she logs on. Most public IM services also allow you to send files, sounds, images and Web links to users on your contact lists through the IM client.
Many IM clients will allow you to communicate only with users on the same network. However, there are alternative clients that you can use to enable cross-platform communications. Here is a list of the most popular public instant messaging networks and clients being used today:

Honey Badger Blows off Seahawks, Drafted by Cards
Its in the Title Discuss and become Rabid like a Badger. P.S. Makes you wonder if Seahawks were targeting him in the 4th. At first I thought they may have been targeting him in the 3rd, but after watching the Seahawks presser and Schneider's comments, I may have been off-base. He seemed pretty intent that it was Hill or bust in the 3rd and DT was a pressing need. P.S.S I also wouldn't be suprised to see us trade a 5th rd pick for a DT from another team tomorrow. Again from the presser Schneider was pretty clear there was a major drop off from Hill and it is a position of need.

Today we continue to scrutinise Martin O'Neill's squad, breaking down each traditional position across the field in a bid to identify where we could do with some strengthening. The position that falls under the spotlight today is Sunderland's right-wing berth, a spot which Sebastian Larsson has made his own since his arrival on Wearside with little competition for the place.
Join us after the jump for a statistics-fest as we run the rule over Seb and the pretenders to his throne.
Larsson's popularity with Bruce and O'Neill, as well as the fans, is reflected in the statistics which more than back up his current standing as our most effective player on the right-hand side. Seb managed to complete 645 passes across the season on the right-hand side, a figure which can be stacked up against our central midfielders and in fact eclipses the total managed by Craig Gardner of 522. Seb also managed to maintain a pass success rate of an acceptable 74.1%.
An interesting comparison to Larsson's passing statistics, and style in general, would be his team-mate on the opposite wing, James McClean, who made a similar number of appearances to Larsson - 20. McClean, a more traditional, chalk on the boots, winger managed far less completed passes, 396, but instead made more than three times the number of dribbles, racking up 27 to Larsson's 8.
It should come as no surprise that Larsson's stats do not paint him out to be the direct, hit the by-line before swinging a cross in style winger, but rather a more patient right-sided midfielder as of late, more confident in getting involved in the middle of the park than the traditional touchline areas for a winger. This is backed up by the number of key passes that Larsson managed from the right flank, 35.
Perhaps Larsson's preference to come inside more often than not rather than busting a gut up and down the wing on every occasion may also be explained by the niggling injuries that he has played with, which has forced the Swede to be a little more conservative with his energy levels during the 90. Having said that, when Seb has found himself in the wide areas he completed 44 crosses, far more than McClean who managed 35 from the opposite wing.
More tellingly, for the team as a whole, despite Larsson's impressive stats, both key passes and accurate crosses, he only managed one assist whilst employed on the right, which tells its own story in our forward line's inability, or unwillingness, to break into the penalty area during the season. It will be interesting to see how Seb's stats in this area differ next year as O'Neill brings in at least one commanding centre forward to fill this void.
Sebastian also chipped in with seven goals last year, with four of them coming whilst playing on the right, with the majority coming from his world class set pieces but not forgetting strikes such as the stunning goal he managed on the opening day of the season at Anfield.
Worryingly, for me at least, is the calibre of player that is pushing Larsson for his place on the training fields and also on standby should Seb suffer injury. Ahmed Elmohamady is just not up for the task in my opinion and whilst showing some glimpses of promise he has failed to flatter during his spell on Wearside and is already being
linked with moves away from Wearside, with West Ham interested in his services for some reason.
Quite bizarrely Elmohamady may have had his best performance in a red and white shirt in what is likely to have been his last game for the side during the 0-1 defeat to Manchester United on the final day of the season. Ahmed certainly managed to catch the eye with his cameo appearance, full of running and hard work, but much like the Egyptian's career to date, that is all he has to offer.
Stephane Sessegnon was probably the most successful of all Larsson's fallback options, achieving an 81.3% pass completion rate whilst deployed there for two appearances, as well as 4 key passes and even more impressively 2 goals. I would however put this down to Sess being Sess however, with his direct style and ability in abundance, I certainly would not have him in line to be playing out there on a fulltime basis, an assumption backed up by the fact he only made one cross whilst on the right flank - Stephane is many wonderful things, but a right winger he is not.
Craig Gardner certainly isn't the answer either. Although this could be a statement used for a number of questions posed of our trigger-happy midfielder. It is perhaps unfair to compare Gardner to Larsson, as given the nature of his style of play he would more often than not drift back in side from the right wing into his more accepted position in the centre of the park and I expect this explains his decent pass completion rate of 78.9%, whilst making no crosses or dribbles.
Fraizer Campbell was no stranger to the right hand side during Steve Bruce's tenure and he also appeared on the right wing three times, to very little effect last year. Campbell managed only 25 passes across these three appearances, with no assists, goals and tellingly for a pacey player, no dribbles. I know I will be preaching to the converted, but Campbell is no right winger and it is a detriment to both his game, development as a player and to the side for him to be employed there.
So where do we stand going into next year? Sebastian Larsson is quite clearly our number one choice for the right wing. However he is also currently our only real option. With Ahmed Elmohamady seemingly on his way out, continued speculation over Craig Gardner's and, more worryingly, Stephane Sessegnon's futures with the club we would be in trouble should Larsson pick up a long term injury.
It is therefore a worryingly weak area of the squad. Granted it is not a position which requires immediate and drastic attention and improvement such as left-back and centre forward which are far more pressing matters but we would be extremely short-sighted not to bring in further competition for Seb. We have recently been linked with some ideal candidates in my opinion; Aiden McGeady and Adam Johnson. Whether or not either are particularly realistic targets is yet to be seen, but both could instantly improve our starting eleven should we manage to seal a transfer

"If anyone has this world's goods and sees his brother in need but closes his eyes to his need—how can God's love reside in him? Little children, we must not love with word or speech, but with truth and action."
1 John 3:17-18
Love in Motion is a ministry of Monadnock Bible Conference and we have been in Haiti since 1983. Our ministries are mercy and compassion based, but do not diminish or lack the power of the gospel. At Love in Motion, we see it as counterintuitive and disingenuous to see a brother or sister in need and say, "Go, I wish you well. Keep warm and well fed" and yet do nothing about it. The Haitians have a proverb, "sak vid pa kanpe." This translates to "an empty sack doesn't stand up," meaning a hungry person can't do anything. This person is so overwhelmed by their condition that words are seldom heard, but actions are understood. As we meet physical needs of hunger, thirst, nakedness and sickness,we have the opportunity to speak to their spiritual needs in Jesus' name.
The majority of our efforts are focused on: building schools and orphanages, medical clinics, food and water distribution, and child sponsorship. Some of these are initiatives that Haitians could not provide or would have a difficult time providing, like medical clinics and food distribution. Others are done side by side, encouraging our Haitian brothers and sisters to take part in the project. Both have proven to be effective in meeting immediate physical needs and sharing the gospel. It is our goal to proclaim the name of Jesus in all we do, and pray our efforts to take care of "the least of these" is honoring to the Father and advances His Kingdom.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - As a parent, it can be scary handing the keys to a new driver, especially on a day like Tuesday, when driving conditions are not perfect. A new program at Covenant is trying to prepare young people for whatever hazards may come on the road. This driving simulator, the first of its kind between Dallas and Phoenix, is available here in Lubbock now to help train new drivers.
"And when there's rain, the car reacts differently, so it's going to slide a lot easier if you're going too fast or try to turn too soon," said Shaun Fant, an occupational therapist at Covenant. "I believe that the simulator can help save lives by giving teenagers before they get on the road the opportunity to practice in that safe environment. "
The simulator puts the driver in a cockpit like chair with three screens in front of them. It was originally used to help stroke patients and others determine if they were well enough to drive again, but now, the NeuroScience Institute at Covenant is opening it up to the public and especially senior citizens, allowing them to test their reflexes to see if they are still safe on the road. A one hour driving session for teens is $25 and a three hour detailed evaluation for seniors is $380. For more information or to make an appointment, please call (806) 725-0999.

In total 350 kids were involved in the competition.
Their family members crowded into the stands to cheer them on.
Organizers say the activity helps to build character.
"It is teaching the kids good sportsmanship and how to win and how to lose," said Daren Gilfilen, with the Mountain State Junior Wrestling League. "Everything that they learn in wrestling they can take through their whole life."@
The league has eleven of these types of competitions throughout the year. Their championship tournament is set for early 2013.

Wow, no one wants to make a comment on this?
So I'll be the first to say congrats to the teachers, parents, kids, and administrators that make our school district the bee's knees.
Interesting how people here will jump on the bandwagon to bash the school district when money comes into play, but there's not a pip-squeak when it does well.
Oh well, can't cure the common complainer, I guess.

An embattled Dartmouth landlord narrowly staved off bankruptcy this week after a compromise was struck to extend a stay of proceedings until Feb. 24.
It was the second 45-day extension granted in a battle pitting Patrick Johnston, head of Atlantic Living Property Management Services Inc., against four primary mortgage lenders, led by Trez Capital Corp. of Toronto, who say the landlord has defaulted on more than $64 million in loans.
At a hastily convened hearing Wednesday, bankruptcy registrar Richard Cregan granted a second extension of a stay of proceedings against Johnston, giving him an additional 45 days to work out a restructuring plan for more than 135 unsecured creditors.
In exchange, Trez Capital will be able to foreclose on 24 properties in Dartmouth, Fredericton and Saint John.
Those properties also have Green-Starlight GP Ltd., headed by Toronto real estate mogul Daniel Drimmer, as a secondary mortgage lender.
Had the compromise not been reached, three of Johnston's insolvent companies — UC Investments Inc., Edge Marketing Inc. and 3214113 Nova Scotia Ltd. — would have gone bankrupt on Friday.
Wednesday's hearing was called after trustee Paul Philip Clarke of PwC revealed that a buyer for the remaining 60 apartment buildings in Johnston's 2,000-unit, $137-million portfolio, has been located.
According to bankruptcy court documents, a letter of intent from the undisclosed buyer was received on Monday that showed they were looking to purchase the shares, or all of the remaining assets and properties.
The buyer's identity remains confidential. However, Clarke said the interested party is known to him, "has deep real estate experience in the Canadian real estate market and has the financial capacity to close such a transaction."
He said he would not have requested the extension unless he believed the potential buyer "had the business acumen and financial capacity to complete the deal." The buyer has requested a 30-day period to conduct due diligence.
That letter of intent appears "to be the only restructuring option available to the companies to file a proposal that could be acceptable to creditors," Clarke said.
However, Trez Capital remains skeptical that such a deal would be viable.
Jeffrey Hunt, Trez's counsel, said in a letter submitted Tuesday that "this last gasp comes too late to assuage our clients' well-founded fears that the management has lost total control of the properties."
The proposal to bring in a potential buyer, "even if accepted and executed at a reasonable dollar value, would still leave the debtor companies and the lenders yoked together on a significant number of properties."
Hunt pointed to media coverage surrounding tenants in an Atlantic Living building who had been without hot water service for at least several days. Service was restored to the building on Monday.
"This may be the public's first glimpse of the debtor company's total failure to manage their business affairs, but for the lenders it is an ongoing confirmation of the failure of management," he said.

Well I knew this was coming, and I can't say I wasn't caught off guard by it, since I already pretty much knew the criticism we would be receiving from Drew Magary. Continuing with his "Why Your Team Sucks" series, he did his Indianapolis Colts version today. I read his other "Why Your Team Sucks" for the Texans, Titans, and Jaguars, and have to admit they were pretty funny. Here's the main points I disagreed with (other than the silly ripping of the state of Indiana and us Colts fans):
Your 2012 record: 11-5. This is the part where NERDY METRIC NERDS like me tell you that the Colts actually had a net point differential of minus-30 last season—a mediocre team that got some good bounces, in other words.
Well I will admit we did have a few "lucky" moments, but most of our success was rather taken by us, rather than given to us. Luck, our QB not the silly superstition, was without a doubt the main reason we won 11 games, and to discredit his 7 GWDs is quite hard to do.
Chuck Pagano, who will actually have to get out there and COACH this year. No more free rides for you, mister! You can't just go coasting along on #CHUCKSTRENGTH this time around. You get one uplifting cancer season and that's it. America won't tolerate a rerun. It's altogether possible that Chuck Pagano is a terrible head coach and you won't know it for certain until this season. And man, that'll be an awkward moment.
1. Chuck's system was already in place when he left, so I wouldn't say he had a free ride.
2. His story was uplifting, no doubt about that, however our team at times just flat out out-played the opposing team.
3. It's CHUCKSTRONG, not CHUCKSTRENGTH!
No team is a more obvious choice to regress to the mean this season than the Colts, who overachieved in Luck's first year and still have the same problems they had a year ago: bad defense, a shitty line, a habit of turning the ball over, etc.
I think there's a couple other teams more primed for a regression than us, Redskins (RG3's knee is in high question), Vikings (AP's miracle season will be hard to duplicate), and Ravens (lost half of their team, replaced many of them with rookies). While we added some interesting experienced players (DHB, Landry, Bradshaw).
But nonetheless his article is entertaining and I think deserves a look.

Anniston is working on a new social networking policy for city workers. The proposal discourages city workers from posting any thing negative about the city or anyone connected to it on a social networking site. Employees would not be able to post anything that would "embarrass the city". "Can you imagine if your are in secret service and posted something about the president and you said, 'it's my right' it's totally ridiculous, said City Councilor Ben Little.
"The problem in this situation is the city is using comments made by a citizen in their individual capacity to punish them after they been hired," said attorney Jason Odum.
The policy is still a work in progress. Right now, it does not lay out any specific penalties.

Fueled by a desire to offer their clients fun and motivating ways to stay active, The Action Room's instructors lead myriad classes, from ballroom dancing to country line dancing to Zumba fitness. For those preparing for a wedding or formal touchdown celebration, the instructors teach private and group dance lessons that cover all the major ballroom moves. In addition to leading dance-focused classes, the instructors set pupils' hearts pumping during fitness-based classes that include cardio kickboxing, TRX suspension training, and yoga. High-octane boot camps prepare bodies for the beach, and tummy-centered Pilates workouts help patrons build solid core muscles to deflect any flailing limbs on the dance floor.
If there's one thing the coaches at Fit NJ, LLC have, it's experience—a lot of it. Owner Clint Messiter alone has spent more than 12 years as a personal trainer, with expertise in athletic training and sports medicine. He's surrounded himself with individuals of comparable acumen. Cofounder Abigail Higgins is a professional figure competitor, and four-time Iron Man competitor Pam Giese touts certifications as a trainer, yoga teacher, and nutrition instructor. Together, this team of exercise sages has been whipping Fit NJ clients into shape since 2011, and they currently also lead boot camps six days per week.
Nick Catone, a UFC middleweight contender and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt, helps his trove of students learn the traditions and techniques of mixed martial arts. He teaches teenagers and adults Boxing, Judo, Wrestling, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Cross Training, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu—all aimed at improving physical fitness and the ability to focus. He also offers specialty classes geared toward kids learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing in a positive environment that fosters self-confidence.

Exercise is challenging, and people frequently give up on their fitness routines. How do you keep clients motivated?
Exercising alone takes a lot of self-discipline. Although it is done, there is that fraction of people who need motivation. One-on-one training with a certified personal trainer can certainly give you that extra push to obtain your body goals. And, if that doesn't suit you, then group training with a friend or aerobics classes can motivate a client. It's social, fun, and a great workout.
What's the most radical physical transformation you've seen a client make?
A person who hired a personal trainer for one year told us he went through a divorce, let alcohol consume him, gained excessive weight, and suffered depression. He knew it was time for a change, so he took the initiative to join the gym and hire a personal trainer. He not only lost 55 pounds, but also rejuvenated his spirit. We were very very proud of his transformation.
In the late '80s, Cheryl Armato was so inspired by her fitness instructor, Michelle, she became a fitness instructor, herself. Since 1988, she's been inspiring others to reach goals through many types of fitness, including Pilates, paddle-board fitness, indoor and outdoor bootcamps, and cross-training. She also understands the power of language, using uplifting phrases and anecdotes to push her charges to their limits. Today, she adds dance-fitness Zumba and yoga-Pilates fusion classes to the mix. There's even classes for kids, such as Zumba Kids Jr., preschool art and play, mommy and me sensational sensory, and KidZanity, a fitness program focused on building confidence, strength, and character.
At the Four Seasons Ballroom, veteran personal trainer and fitness instructor Tara Romano commandeers the dance floor in the name of fitness, helming Zumba classes and boot camps that fuse cardio work, plyometrics, and strength training techniques. Tara also customizes workout regimens during personal training sessions to help clients safely reach their fitness goals, debunking the myth that the only way to get in shape is to steal Jack LaLanne's foam muscle suit. Tara also brings her fitness expertise to celebrations, helming specialized, fitness-oriented birthday parties.

Destruction of earth is inevitable if the people of developed countries continue to live as they do. In "The Futility of Global Thinking" Wendell Berry asserts if solutions are not found to environmental problems, nature will destroy the human environment. The realization must be made; the fault of these problems does not solely lie in the hands of industrial corporations, but on those of every person. People are enabling the destruction of the environment with excessive consumer demands and convenience, which forces industries to produce more products at a higher rate. People need to change how they live and stop demanding such high productivity. As Berry suggests, the solution to the large problems are found in the smaller problems.
Developed countries are at the root of the large scale environmental problems. The advancement of countries increases pollutants, as well as the usage of natural resources. As a particular country advances in the world's economy, the standards of living within that country begin to grow. Less developed countries do contribute to environmental problems, but to a much lesser degree. Saying that undeveloped countries contribute to environmental problems as much as developed countries would imply less developed countries are as industrialized as developed countries, by definition this is not true. Take energy usage for example, the higher the rate of energy used, the higher amount of pollutants produced and natural resources used, which in turn, creates more environmental problems. The correlation can be made, that developed countries do create more environmental problems than less developed countries. This is the point Berry is proving. However, this doesn't imply that the people of developed countries, themselves, aren't the reason for the environmental problems. ("International")
People need to stop using industrialization as a scapegoat to environmental problems. Instead people need to rise to the challenge of change, and...

Day #307 – Game and Food Ideas for a Harvest Party
November 3, 2012 by 7 Comments
Abigail just had her Harvest Party at school. Our room mom did a fabulous job with all of the party details. I know there are a lot of involved parents reading my blog who might benefit from seeing some of the details from the Harvest Party I just went to at Abby's school. I took tons of pictures of her classmates, but I don't want to put pictures of other kids up without parent permission. I didn't want to ask permission because I also haven't told anyone about the blog, and I kind of want to keep it on the down low. I don't want unrealistic expectations set on my kids or myself because of this venture. I know it's not a great marketing strategy, but there ya go. All that said, the pictures won't have other kids in them to protect those families.
Pumpkin Painting
Hook the Ring on the Pumpkin
Pull the Guts out of a Pumpkin
Finger Print Pumpkins on a Vine as a Card for Parents
Pumpkin Bowling
Fill up the Pumpkin with Popcorn Races
Find the Eyeball in the Haystack
Fruit and Vegetable Jack-O-Lantern Tray
Carmel Corn Mix with Funny Glasses and Vampire Teeth
Candy Corn Packages
Those are some cute activities! I haven't ever seen some of those before! Using the pumpkins in so many events was very clever!
Love these ideas!
I love these ideas. I am having my first Harvest Party with our adult children and grandbabies. So, I will be using some of these for sure… :O)
PS. Your daughter is so cute! :O)

Alcides Escobar "abandoned his daughter before she was born"
at the beginning of the year I saw something like this on a blog but thought it was a lie....after reading this story, watching the videos..... I´m wrong. Mr. Escobar needs to man-up. Omar Moreno is one of my baseball idols its good to see he is helping out his country. Its disturbing to see such talented young man have such low morals.

It wasn't something Greg Campau saw coming.
His wife of 27 years was lying on the floor. Her lips were blue. Her heart had stopped.
Paramedics were nearly 20 minutes away from the Wilsonville ranch where he and his wife were housekeeping.
"They said, 'You need to get down on your hands and knees right beside your wife and make sure she's completely flat on her back and then you need to start compressions,'" Campau said.
It had been two decades since Campau took a class on CPR, but if he didn't act, in five minutes his wife would have permanent brain damage. If it took much longer, she would be dead.
"I didn't know for sure if I was doing it right or wrong," Campau said. "I really had no idea, except, I knew that I had to do this because (otherwise) she really didn't have a chance."
On the phone, the 911 dispatcher walked the husband through hands only CPR. Campau continued to do chest compressions for 19 minutes until paramedics arrived and took over.
Then came the waiting game. It would be days before the Campau family would know whether Janine Campau would ever be the same. Finally, she woke up.
"It's been a great, great miracle for us because this family could not survive without her," Greg Campau said.
Bruised and tired, Janine Campau lost much of her memory.
"I just remember him telling me that he loved me twice," Janine Campau said.
She didn't recognize her own car when she left the hospital. Short-term memory loss is not uncommon for survivors of sudden cardiac arrest; doctors are confident Janine Campau will regain her memories in a few weeks.
In the meantime, the one thing she knows for sure is that her husband saved her life.
"I thank God that he loves me so much that he was able to do what he had to do," Janine Campau said.

As excited I am to see how we do this postseason, and I think we are very much in contention for another World Series appearance, I have been wondering recently, how Rockies roster is going to look next year. I think we will be in an even better position to succeed...who will stay...who will go. Here are a few of my thoughts...what do you think?
Starting pitchers:
Jorge De La Rosa
Relief pitchers:
Manny Corpas
Rafael Baetencourt
Joulys Chacin
Starting lineup:
Todd Helton 1B
Ian Stewart 3B
Seth Smith RF
Clint Barmes 2B
I have 2 spots open...do Hawpe and Atkins stay? Keep one of them and add another reliver? I think one of them goes via trade...I think we get more for Atkins right now. Does Giambi stay? I think the Rox buy out Torrealba's contract. I think Marquis is gone...he wants to go to NY anyway and Francis is a better pitcher anyway.
Overall, I really like our probable starting rotation and think we will be tough to beat consistently with those guys. I would like to see us go after a big bat...I think not having Holliday in our lineup has hurt us somewhat. We don't really have anyone that is feared. Tulo is great, but I don't think he strikes fear in the hearts of opposing pitchers...same with Helton (now a doubles and singles hitter). Stewart and Iannetta are promising but not consistent (low batting avg). Cargo and Fowler are great to set the table. Barmes is good and bad but provides HR power while maintaining a pedestrian BA. So, I can only see a big bat going to 2nd base (which is rare unless you are Chase Utley) or RF. That means that Seth and Hawpe would be out of luck for a starting nod or good trade bait.
I also don't think Giambi will be on our roster...we just need more out of that roster spot than just pinch hitting every now and then and spelling Helton every 7 or 8 games.

So first, I want to say that I am happy that UCLA has met or exceeded the minimum NCAA APR (http://web1.ncaa.org/app_data/apr2007/110_2007_apr.pdf) . I am a firm believer that all student-athletes are in fact students, and should be students first and athletes second. So UCLA's APR is a good thing.
But, at the same time, I am very concerned about student-athlete graduation rates, especially, but not only, in the "big" sports of men's basketball and football. (http://stanford.scout.com/2/748689.html). If you look through these numbers, they should be of concern to anyone who is interested in the best interests of the students who are privileged to go to UCLA (and to many Pac 10 schools) and who we are privileged to enjoy watching.
A few things jump off the page, at least to me. The first is that Stanford does a far better job in graduating their players. Now I know there are institutional reasons for this. And I know that, in general, UCLA and most other Pac 10 schools get kids who are more likely to make it professionally than Stanford does. However, even at UCLA, most of the football players will not make it as pros. The same goes for baseball (though there are of course more who linger in the minor leagues for their careers). I believe that UCLA needs to do a better job of graduating their athletes. A college degree is this century's high school degree. Your chance of success and earning potential go up markedly with one in hand (http://insidehighered.com/news/2007/09/13/collegeboard).
But this is only the tip of the concern iceberg for me. If you look at the two different graduation-gap statistics given in the scout.com article, there are some areas of major concern. UCLA is rather high on two lists -- the differences between student athlete graduation rates and the general student population, and of equal, if not greater concern, the gap between african-american student athletes caucasian athletes. Both the fact that these gaps are significant, and the fact that UCLA consistently seems to be in the middle of Pac 10 on many of these lists, and shows up on even some of the national charts, should be a concern.
Now I know that some people will say that the graduation rates reflect that fact that UCLA gets many students who have professional potential. And there is of course some truth to that, especially in basketball. But basketball is such a small pool in the larger athletic waters. That UCLA can only graduate 61% of its african-american athletes, as opposed to 81% of its caucasian athletes (and the fact that 61% represents second best in the Pac 10, which is grim in and of itself), is not something to be proud of.
I want UCLA to be actively concerned about these numbers. I want UCLA alumni and UCLA supporters to be actively concerned about these numbers. They should not be acceptable to anyone. Now this does not mean I am not a realist. This does not mean that I don't think the APR is of value, that I don't think Kevin Love, for instance, should go pro, or that I am not happy that he, and other student-athletes are making sure they are in good standing when they drop-out/go pro. Because I am happy that they are responsible to themselves and to the school. But UCLA should do better. I know there is a different between public and private schools (having taught at both UCLA and Stanford), but I believe that UCLA should be second to Stanford in these various numbers in every category, year in, year out.
I know there are people who disagree with me, who say that a solid APR is good enough. But an education, and a UCLA degree, lasts far longer than any athletic career, for those few who actually achieve one. A long time ago, Horace Mann said: "Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men,--the balance-wheel of the social machinery." (Look at the insidehighered.com article I linked above if you want that quantified a bit.) If we, as a society, let our student-athletes leave a great academic institution like UCLA without an education and make no even minimal effort to anything about it, then the University, and we too, are indeed guilty of using them for our own amusement and making money on their backs.
I believe we can do better.

ATHENS, Greece - Greece's central bank governor says the country's four largest lenders will be given until the end of May to complete a major recapitalization program.
Bank of Greece governor George Provopoulos told state-run NET television late Monday that the banks � National, Eurobank, Alpha, and Piraeus � would be given an extension of up to a month for the program backed by bailout funds.
Provopoulos made the remarks ahead of visit to Athens this week by debt inspectors from the European Union, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund.
Greek banks suffered heavy losses from a private debt restructuring deal last year.
Provopoulos warned Greeks that an emergency property tax levied on electricity bills was likely to be extended, despite strong disagreement on the issue within the coalition government.

21- Alec Ogletree- LB
I've mocked him here since my first mock draft and I still feel he is the right fit for our team..
37- Cornellius Carradine - DE
this is a luxury pick thanks to the raiders, so why not take advantage of it to build depth and secure the future of our DLine with both DE's contracts up after next season.
53- Eric Reid - FS
a safety that will fit great in Zims defense and play great next to Reggie..
84- Mike Gillislee - RB
in my opinion the most complete RB in the draft.. Not the most explosive, but the most complete.. Great blocker, receiver, and blitz pick up..
118- Tyrann Mathieu - CB
just feels natural.
156- Landry Jones - QB
project with lots of upside
190- Kenjon Barner- RBC

Hello Stampede Blue,
Im Udalgano and I am representing the Colts in the Mock Draft over at Bleeding Green Nation. We are just mocking the first round of the Draft so there is no trades. My best friend is an avid Colts fan, and he tells me I should go for a Right Guard or a Safety. However all fan bases have fans that have crazy ideas, so I figured i would get a wider perspective on what you need on your team. I would greatly appreciate any and all insight into the needs of your organization.
Thank you,

The Bavarian Inn Lodge is unveiling a new $3 million renovation. The expansion includes two water slides and an upgrade to the mini-golf course.
The project took 84 working days, 220 cubic yards of concrete and more than 12,000 gallons of water.
The $3 million renovation of the lodge's indoor Family Fun Center features two four-story water slides. The lodge is also upgrading its popular 18-hole, indoor mini-golf course.
"This latest phase is really a 'thank you' to our guests for allowing us to serve them for 26 years," said Judy Zehnder Keller, president and founder of Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Lodge.
The two water slides promise fun to children of all ages, 42 inches and taller. The stairs to the new water tower feature eight glass-block windows salvaged from the Frankenmuth Brewing Co. There's an individual body slide and a multi-person tube slide. Both slides end in a new indoor pool.
"Our facility provides a wide variety of activities that appeal to every interest, and that can be enjoyed together as a family," said Zehnder Keller.
Construction Facts:
The lodge is now equipped with four indoor pools. Overnight guests of the lodge are invited to use the Family Fun Center as part of their stay.
Judy Zehnder Keller designed, developed and leads the Bavarian Inn Lodge's seven-acre facility. The resort has 360 guestrooms and a conference center.

Wide receiver Chis Givens has started to emerge as the big-play threat in the St. Louis Rams offense. Givens has seven catches through six games but is averaging 28.1 yards per reception heading into Sunday's game with the Green Bay Packers.
Givens in the past three weeks has had catches of 65, 52 and 51 yards. In the previous three seasons, the Rams have had a total of three pass plays of at least 50 yards, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Fantasy Impact: Givens is not on most fantasy radars because he's only has seven catches on the season. However, Thomas points out that Givens and Sam Bradford are starting to develop some chemistry and that could be important with Danny Amendola out.
Givens is a bye-week replacement with the potential to make a couple of big plays a game. He is at best a flex play or low-end No. 3 receiver for Week 7.

I'm playing in a shallow eight team league and I'm a little concerned about my goalies. I picked up Bryzgalov and Varlamov near the end of our auction draft because everyone else was paying really high prices for goalies. I'm worried about the risk they both represent and so I'm considering picking up a third goaltender (who would have similar risk, as my choices are limited). The question is if I should drop a skater and pick up a third goaltender, drop Varlamov and pick up someone else, or stand pat for a little while and see who pans out (though I risk someone else jumping in and snagging who is left). Most of the other teams have three goalies...
Our scoring categories are: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, SOG, Hits and W, GAA, Sv%, SO
I have a pretty solid team with players that give me both scoring and PIMs/Hits:
P Kane, Backes, J Neal, Perry, B Ryan, Gaborik, Semin, Chara, Weber, Yandle, Phaneuf, D Brown, M Richards, Kunitz
Goalies: Brzygalov, Varlamov
On the waiver wire for goaltenders: Hiller, Crawford, Bobrovsky, Dubnyk, Lindback, Elliot, Nabokov, Backstrom
Any thoughts?

NEW ORLEANS -- Adrian Peterson has won The Associated Press 2012 NFL Offensive Player of the Year award just one year after major knee surgery.
The Minnesota Vikings running back rushed for 2,109 yards, 9 short of Eric Dickerson's record. He dominated voting by a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the NFL, getting 36 ballots to eight for runner-up QB Peyton Manning of Denver.
Quarterbacks Tom Brady of New England and Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay, and receiver Calvin Johnson of Detroit each got two votes.
Even more startling is that Peterson's remarkable year followed major knee surgery at the end of 2011. He led the Vikings' turnaround from a 3-13 record to 10-6 and a wild-card playoff berth, scoring 12 touchdowns rushing and averaging 6.0 yards per carry.
He accepted his award Saturday night at the "2nd Annual NFL Honors" awards show on CBS saluting the NFL's best players, performances and plays from the 2012 season.
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

If OOXML is not adopted, it will simply ratchet the pressure to merge up a little as a few more governments specify ODF.
One who thinks the vote does matter is Vint Cerf, co-designer of the TCP/IP technology that underpin the Internet, and now chief Internet evangelist at Google.
"If OOXML is adopted, it leads to a problem of duplicate formats for document exchange," he said.
That duplication is bad for interoperability: In the Internet world, standards makers work hard on agreeing "one way to do things, and then evolving it," he said. "We don't reinvent the wheel."
IBM vice president of standards and open source Bob Sutor has an interest in the outcome of the vote, but there is one thing the BRM has already changed, he said: "OOXML has caused a crisis in the standards system."
Although "this is a BRM unlike any other," according to Sutor, there is one way in which it is just like all the others: it is held behind closed doors.
Whatever the outcome of the vote, that secrecy is one of the things that should change in the way IT standards are developed, Sutor said.
"Minutes should be published. This secrecy ... has to end," he said.

Panelists discussed the factors that limit water available throughout the U.S. Topics include the competition for water by different users, the resulting changes in water flow, and changes in the quality of the water. Factors that pollute the water supply include population growth, irrigation, protecting the biodiversity of ecosystems, and climate change. Panelists provided specific examples of the connections between water use and water quality and how they can affect water availability. Following their prepared remarks the panelists answered questions from members of the audience.

The Board of Supervisors recognized Dr. Karen Diviney Tuesday at its board meeting for her years of service to Fairfax County. Diviney was director of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.
The Fairfax County Animal Services Division comes under the purview of the Fairfax County Police Department. The shelter, with a mission to care for surrendered or stray animals, takes in an estimated 5,500 animals annually. Last year, there was a 58 percent adoption/redemption rate, resulting in 1,261 adoptions and 1,289 redemptions, according to county statistics.
