We all have stuff we love to look back fondly on. In my case, it's 2013—the first quarter was just full of people and events you never want to be mired in, followed by a remarkable transition for the better, and then everything went uphill from there.
Charming Gardeners
Happy Stripes layered sheer top, Binkydoodles sheer maxi skirt, Asian Vogue wedge pumps, SM Accessories headband, beaded necklace and cuff bracelet.
Hype this on Lookbook here and Chictopia here.
Today's weather here in Pampanga was the kind of sunny day I enjoy—chilly and kind of overcast, but still bright enough to inspire.
To be honest, I woke up this morning feeling under the weather, inundated with thoughts of my recent choices and actions and succumbing to the temptation of overanalyzing and dissecting every little detail. I was thinking about unrequited loyalty, how we don't always get back the same kind that we give those who are important to us.
Whenever I get like this, I remember what someone once taught me: to focus instead on the people who see us at our most vulnerable, who see us be impulsive and foolish and love us anyway. People who, instead of appearing to agree all the way through and watch us crash and burn, care enough to call us out to protect us from the mistakes we're making. To let us know that at the end of the day, they're the ones who truly know us and believe in us.
Always Sunday 2PM in this Korean café
You know how much we love the Korean aesthetic of effortless adorability—be it fashion, beauty or interiors, it's simple and charming and gets the job done in a way that makes you go, "That's basic yet functional and pretty… why haven't I tried that before?"
Neither of us have ever been to Seoul (at least physically)—but in the meantime, we've been on the lookout for little pockets of Korea wherever we are.
We found a couple of them when we visited Cebu: a hair and nail salon called Secret B, and this café called Sunday 2PM.
According to the owners, it's called Sunday 2PM because it's that time of the week when things are most relaxed and chill for most people. They gave the café this name to evoke that cozy feeling of being at home.
We just had to film the cutest stuff in Sunday 2PM for another video diary!
So adorable, right?
The way it's designed also gave us some more ideas for decorating our own spaces.
Apart from coffee and sandwiches, they've got a mini library of Korean and English books for anyone's reading pleasure.
And if you want to listen to or download Korean songs, there's this mini grocery cart.
There are these "study corners" by the walls near the shelves. Check out the wall papers: customer doodles. Who knew cluttered post-its could look so nice?
Photos by Lea Ann, a talented photographer and young entrepreneur who took a week off from her daily schedule just to hang out with us. On Shai: Runway Dreams dress and vest, Chemistry belt, Parisian shoes. Hype this on Lookbook here.
Quirkypedia eyeglasses, Japanese Candy contact lenses. For makeup tutorialsclick here.
Hobby Loft bracelet, SM Accessories shoulder bag, Nail It Salon pastel nails.
Parisian flatforms for walking around looking taller.
It's visiting places like Sunday 2PM that remind us how things don't need to be over-complicated, over-thought or over-designed in order to work out. No matter how stressed or tired we are, we need only look at photos and videos of our happy places.
White's Hot: Chic
Runway Dreams floral bustier top, The Catwalk long white skirt, SM Department Store striped socks, Crocs mini wedges, Chemistry bangle, Antler Accessories necklace, sunnies from Divisoria. Hype this on Lookbook here.
Strikingly simple
Yes, you can pick random stuff from your closet, tie your hair haphazardly, wear no makeup and still blog about it. Blind Clothing floral dress, Ziggy & Zooey zebra print flats, Martina-Martina tribal-inspired necklace, Chemistry bangles. Hype this on Lookbook here.
Pumped Up Kicks
Another day in Cebu! The best thing about this city is everything's within walking distance. On this day, we went for a walk to Ayala Center and dropped by the Cebu branches two of our favorite stores here in Manila: Complex and Skechers.
Style Hub top, Chemistry belt, shorts and bag, SM Department Store socks, Skechers Go-Runs, Quirkypedia hairband and bracelet. Hype this on Lookbook here.
Mixing a lot of colors and ideas into one outfit. I tend to do this particularly whenever we're doing some sort of athletic or sporty chic look, like today. It's the easiest look to style—simply don't style it. Haha!
I love how these Quirkypedia accessories instantly make things… well, quirky! Contact lenses from Japanese Candy. A couple of Koreans actually came up to me in the mall and asked me for directions.
I didn't really pre-style the items I brought to Cebu, but it was a good thing I brought this top from Style Hub. It's got this cool jersey-type detail that to go with the sporty shoes. As for the Chemistry belt and shoes—so versatile! You're sure to see them lots more times in my outfit posts.
Forever a fan of candy colors! It doesn't really matter whether the colorblocking, neon and athletic-chic looks are in season; whenever I feel like going for a happy look, it's candy colors for me.
Of course, walking burns calories (and makes tummies grumble). Seph loves Mexican food, and we had heard of a café in Ayala Center Cebu serving just that. It's called Mooon, and that's where we headed to grab a bite. Beef burrito, anyone?
Mooon Café's interiors are also Mexican-inspired. Beautiful wall, isn't it? We wanted to take more photos of the surroundings, but the place was filled with so many people and we didn't want to disturb their lunch. More photos on Mooon's Facebook page.
Thanks to the staff of Complex and Skechers.
Coming Up Roses
Hang Ten rose print dress, CMG strappy clogs, Divisoria accessories. Hype this on Lookbook here, favorite it on our joint Chictopia here.
Bows, bouquets, braids—pile on the sweetness, why not? Whenever I can't help but do so, I usually have to inject some edge in it, hence the animal print on the shoes.
My mom took these photos outside our house in Pampanga last week.
Nothing too deliberate, really. We're just lucky that we're on the same wavelength about many things (and when we're not, it's usually because one has something to teach or learn from the other). See his version of this look here!

Yummy Yabu
Chemistry shirt and skirt, Sebago shoes, Ringaholic rings, Bench watch, Hodge Podge necklace, Funky Streaks hair color.
Hype this on Lookbook here, vote on Chictopia here.
Our lunch? Yabu, of course! It's one of our go-to places for comfort food, never mind that it's an hour's drive away. We try to schedule whatever errands we can accomplish around the Ortigas area just so we have an excuse to dine at Yabu. This day was no different, except that instead of our usual orders, we decided to try the spanking new offerings on their menu. We started with the green mango shakes—they had the perfect sweet-sour-fruity-slushy blend! They also have watermelon and ripe mango, which we plan to try on our next trip.
A Yabu meal isn't complete without our favorite appetizers. Seaweed salad with ebiko and potato salad, now with egg added in the mix.
Yabu's chef is Master Kazuya Takeda, head chef of a popular tonkatsu restaurant in Tokyo known as Tonkatsu Takeshin. He has created a line-up of Yabu Special Katsudon sets, which means you can only taste this kind of katsudon here and nowhere else. Each set is served with miso soup, Japanese pickles, unlimited cabbage with sesame dressing and a bowl of fruit. We ordered the Rosu katsudon, sprinkled with bonito flakes and topped with a sunny side-up egg. Just like everything katsu at Yabu, the meat was crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside.
Yabu has also added a second dish to their original Mixed Seafood Katsu set. The Seafood Katsu Set 2 is composed of salmon, black tiger prawn, crab and oyster, and each katsu was cooked to perfection.
We've been craving for cream dory katsu all week, so we also asked for it a la carte. Yum!
One of the wonderful things about Yabu is this promise of perfection. We asked around and nope, they don't really get any replacement requests—and it's no wonder why! For very reasonable prices, you get premium food and premium service.
For dessert, we had this Lava Cake topped with a scoop of Selecta green tea ice cream. We both love cake, cookies, brownies and other baked goodies that are chewy and creamy instead of crumby and crunchy—needless to say, we immediately fell in love with how soft and chewy this lava cake is! Each spoonful was filled with delicious fudge chocolate syrup; we planned to take a midway photo of how it looks after a few bites but before we knew it, we had bitten every bit. Oops!
Down the hall to the restroom, you'll see a whole wall filled with public displays of affection for Yabu.
If you haven't tried this place, you really should. We've brought about a dozen of our friends and family members here and they've since come back lots of times on their own. If you like katsu, you're going to love Yabu.
Sacramento, CA: Spring cherry blossoms
It was my first time to see these trees in person! Cherry blossoms are called sakura in Japanese and I didn't expect to see them in Sacramento (which prompted me to make a Sakura-mento joke that I shall spare you from). I thought I'd dress up in their honor.
Hype this look (and be my fan, hehe) on Lookbook here.
My cousins were saying our trip to Sacramento was perfect timing—a few days earlier or later and we would've missed the cherry blossoms.
As with my San Diego, Long Beach and San Francisco photo diaries, I won't be able to share the entirety of my travel photos without inundating everyone's feeds but here's another set from one of the many places we visited: the state capitol.
The Church of the Blessed Sacrament, a walking distance from the capitol. It's where the city got its name from.
The Sacramento Capitol, built in the image of the Washington State Capitol. In the interest of full disclosure, let me admit that I wasn't aware that the capital of California was in fact not Los Angeles,but Sacramento. Let me know if you didn't know either—let's be embarrassing together! Haha!
We went on a guided tour that day but 477 fully-captioned photos with encyclopedic information about California would be overkill. Instead, trivia.
The dome is gilded with goldleaf—gold that has been melted and hammered and molded for decorative purposes. Unlike painted gold, goldleaf doesn't need to be polished or repainted, and shines like new for decades and decades.
The Senate or Upper House, and State Assembly or Lower House. Apparently, this form of government was influenced by the British government's House of Lords (for the noble and upper class) and House of Commons (for regular folks like you and me).
Governor Brown's office. When Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor, the capitol was always full of tourists hoping to get a glimpse of the Terminator at work. He did leave a remembrance for all visitors, though.
Meet Bacteria Bear. Arnold got him in an auction for a huge amount of money and brought him to the office because he was one of the state symbols. But when it was time to leave, he left the bear here because it was too heavy. The bear got its name from all the kids visiting the capitol kissing it and smearing it with snot. And yes, my mom's hand is in Bacteria Bear's mouth.
We had great fun and it wouldn't have been possible without my family. It's my birthday on the 20th, but they've made me feel like my birthday all the days I was in Sacramento :)
San Francisco, CA: Suspended animation
The day we spent at the bay area of San Francisco was a blur. I've always longed to see one of the most picturesque cities I've ever explored through books, and there it was, every scene (as well as the chilly weather) leaving me breathless.
What I wore. Again, I raided my aunt's barely-used wardrobe that morning for something to wear, as most of the clothes I brought turned out to be too spring/summer for the still very fall/winter temperatures of San Francisco. If you've been reading this blog long enough, you may recognize the SM Accessories hat, Forever 21 boots, and Seph's scarf from Baguio. Hype this on Lookbook here.
Our lovely relatives in Sacramento who took care of us as soon as we arrived from Longbeach. They cooked hearty Filipino meals, treated us out to sumptuous lunches and dinners, and showed us around. Here are just a few of the beautiful things we got to see.
Crossed the bridge when we got there
Tulips and other beautiful flowers abloom
Pier 39, where all the shops, restaurants and attractions (such as these sunbathing seals) are, as seen from the Blue & Gold bay cruise ferry
Fellow passengers marveling at the skyline
Sailing near Alcatraz Island
While no longer a prison for the most cold-blooded and sophisticated criminals in the country, Alcatraz emanates an eerie glow, a shadow of its dark history by which one can't help but be haunted.
Albatrosses flying low around our ferry, as if guiding us on our way
Every hour is magic hour
Sailing under the most famous suspension bridge in the world
Spanning 4,200 feet, with each cable 7,650 feet long, 36 and 3/8 inches in diameter and containing 27,572 wires within, the total wire used was 80,000 miles long and the weight along with the suspenders and accessories is 24,500 tons. I may forget these numbers soon, but the magnificence of how the Golden Gate Bridge was built will remain.
Next: Sacramento
HK Fashion Week Day 2
We were advised to dress comfortably on the second day of HKFW.
Human cardigan, thrifted starry top, Abi Ong Project skirt, Topshop stockings, gray Keds, SM Accessories necklace.
Hype on Lookbook here.
This was the day we got to cover the Hong Kong Fashion Extravaganza, the most anticipated fashion show in all of Hong Kong Fashion Week attended by local celebrities and covered by national media. We had to be literally on our toes for the flurry of activity that happened that day: designer interviews, press conference, lots of picture-taking, and other fun reporter stuff that didn't really allow for painfully dressy shoes. Stay tuned for this story!

They were moments of symbolism that will not be lost on anyone in Shelby County public education this day, this week or this year.
The laborious dismantling of two school systems, each with decades of past triumphs, tragedies and turmoil, gave way to a new and uncertain sign of joint purpose. Memphis and Shelby County Schools will become one on July . At least that's what the temporary sign change on Tuesday acknowledged.
"These are all our kids. It doesn't matter whether it's one school district, 10 school districts, charter schools," said interim Superintendent Dorsey Hopson. "Anybody who wants to get in here and help student achievement sign them up."
As if his days haven't been busy enough, Hopson managed to fit in a speaking engagement by appearing at a Rotary Club luncheon in Midtown. Warmly welcomed, Hopson gave the audience an overview of the work that's gone into preparing to operate one of the largest merged public school systems in the country when the doors open county-wide in August.
But, Hopson spared the Rotarians the painful "grinding the sausage" details he gave reporters at an earlier news conference where he laid out specifics on a final round of school employee job cuts.
Hopson said from the 2,000 interviews conducted over the last five weeks, central office staffing for the combined systems will result in the elimination of 300 positions at a savings of $18 million. Through what he asserted was a fair, fast and transparent process, the new staffing makeup will have a demographically familiar look, if those the system offered jobs end up taking them.
"At the beginning of the process, there were when you looked at SCS and the MCS Central offices, there's probably about 79 percent MCS employees, 21 percent Shelby County employees," said Hopson. "You're probably going to be looking at about a central office is made up of probably about 72 percent MCS, 28 percent SCS."
Readily in command of the numbers, Hopson broke down the expected final tally of 2,000 eliminated jobs: 750 custodial, 300 central office, 215 non-tenured teachers, 130 plant managers and 500 more including teacher's aides. Yet, he visibly softened when he related how the interview process took on a bitter irony.
"Many of the people who were assisting with the interviews were actually going through interviews themselves," Hopson said. "So, you could be an HR professional, assistant hiring manager with 20 interviews, and then you have to take a break and then you have to go run and interview for your job. All this is hard. It's hard work. It's going to have an effect on people. But, the reason we did this was to preserve as much money as we could to put in the classroom cause our core business is education.
"Many of the people who will be ending their employment with the Shelby County Schools are family members, our friends, people who we've known for a long time," the interim superintendent added. "Our hearts go out to them. We have not taken this process lightly."
Hopson said those who were let go will get up to six weeks of severance pay based on their length of service.
The system has been holding workshops to help those let go find other employment, possibly later within the system.
Meanwhile, there's at least a new sign that indicates the Unified School Board will be open for business, ready or not.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Chris Capuano scattered six hits over 6 1-3 innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers set a team record with their 13th straight road win, 3-0 over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
The Dodgers eclipsed the 1924 mark set by the Brooklyn Robins.
Carl Crawford broke open a 1-0 game by driving in two runs with a single in the sixth inning. Jerry Hairston Jr. singled in the first run in the third for NL West-leading Los Angeles, which is 13-2 since the All-Star break and has won 30 of its last 37 overall.
Capuano (4-6) struck out five and walked only one before four Dodgers relievers closed it out. Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 16th save in 19 chances.
Jeff Samardzija (6-10) allowed three runs over six innings in Chicago's third straight loss.

RALEIGH — Some Wake County school board members are making it clear they don't want to play the role of fashion police when it comes to what teachers are wearing in school.
Superintendent Tony Tata recently agreed to remind teachers of the need to dress professionally, after school board member Debra Goldman complained that some younger educators were wearing inappropriate clothing in the classroom.
But board members whoweren't at that committee meeting are emphasizing that they're not calling for any kind of crackdown on attire.
"I don't think we need to be codifying what they are wearing," said school board member Chris Malone. "There are already some professional standards for how they are supposed to dress."
Tata will talk with principals about the employee dress code at a countywide meeting.
School board policy says that employees "shall dress in a manner and have an appearance that is appropriate and professional in light of the environment in which they work, the duties of their jobs, and the impressionable youth they serve."
But at the Feb. 23 meeting of the policy committee that Goldman chairs, she brought up issues with some teachers wearing flip-flops, excessively short skirts and tops that showed too much cleavage. She suggested that the employee dress code be made more like the student dress code, which lists examples of prohibited dress.
"I hate that we have to spell it out, but I think we do," Goldman said at the committee meeting.
But Goldman, who said she had heard complaints from parents about teacher attire, held off on voting for a change in the policy after Tata agreed to handle the matter.
Goldman did not return calls this week.
Some board members are distancing themselves from her concerns, saying they think it's a small problem.
"I don't think we need some kind of strict policy," said board member Deborah Prickett, a former teacher and school counselor. "We've got so many other things to deal with. It's low on the totem pole."
Malone said he's never seen any problems with the way teachers are dressed when he visits Wake Forest-Rolesville High School, where two of his children attend.
School board member John Tedesco said he has complete confidence in the professionalism of Wake's teachers to dress appropriately. "I do believe in high standards of professionalism among our staff, but I don't believe it's a significant problem," he said.
Tama Bouncer, president of the Wake County chapter of the N.C. Association of Educators, also doesn't think that there's a widespread problem of teachers dressing unprofessionally. But she said that principals will be prompted to resolve the few problems they have after hearing about the issue from Tata.
"Principals will make the decision that if it's really a concern with anyone on their staff, they'll deal with it," Bouncer said.

Posted by Catherine Kallon on February 23rd, 2012 In: Best Dressed, Blog, Goya Awards
Posted by Catherine Kallon on February 23rd, 2012 In: Best Dressed, Blog, Goya Awards
Salma for me. Didn't like the way her hair was styled but the fit of that dress is perfection for her.
I went for Mar Saura in Ralph&Russo because I liked the shape and the sleeves!
Yeah she looks fabulous. My vote as well.
Michelle Jenner, so beautiful!
I quite like Salma's hair!
It's so hard to choose. This is one of the best dressed red carpets I've seen for a while. All are so worthy really. Ahhh…
agree with you on the best dressed red carpet. everyone was gorgeous! i have a feeling that most if not all of them will make it to the bdotw this week
So many divine dressed women! It's almost a shame having to pick only one.. I LOVE Salma, Mar Saura, Manuela Velasco, Goya Toledo, Cayetana Guillen… very hard to choose.
Wow! Tough one! They all look divine for me.
Veronica stands out for me.
isn't Cayetana Guillen in oscar de la renta and not carolina herrera? her gown reminds me of emma watson's. despite michelle's overlong ribbon i still love the way she kept her princess look simple and beautiful.
Now THIS is hard.
Cayetana was dressed by Oscar de la Renta. It´s correct in the other post
WOW…every single ladies in this poll is gorgeous and looking amazing! its hard to choose!
BEST DRESSED AWARDS SHOW so far THIS YEAR. If i were to mix SAGs, golden globes & the Brits in one bottle, it'd still be a shadow of this. I mean wow. The worst dressed of this event would still be best dressed of other events. There women can sure dress their bods
This was such a well-dressed event! Michelle is my winner (that dress is amazing!), I loved Blanca as well (she isn't on the poll, but her dress looked like Mandy Moore's Oscar dress), and then Manuela, Clara, Cayetana. So many gorgeous looks!
If they're were in this poll, I'd go for Elena Anaya and Imma Cuesta.
My favourite is Mar Saura, here.
they were **
I thought this was a tough choice, since I really liked many of the choices. Good job ladies.
In your original post you said cayetanas dress is Oscar de le renta …..
Clara Lago for me. LOTS of stunning gowns but she had the best styling.
This was an amazing red carpet! Gorgeous women in beautiful dresses, and all of them were really well styled. Mar Saura and Goya Toledo were standouts for me, but really all of them were so perfect! The Spanish ladies have put all the other recent red carpets to shame! This is what the Oscar attendees should be aiming to top, although I'm not sure if they can… I am really hoping that at least Berenice Bejo in particular will pull off an amazing Elie Saab, also on my wish list I would really like for Jessica Chastian to really hit her stride and look amazing. I really like Jessica for some reason, I truly think she could be a real movie star, so I hope she tries to look the part. I've almost given up hope on Angelina, but she should be taking notes on the Goyas' red carpet. Mar's dress is totally something she would wear, but I don't know if she'd breathe as much life into it.
Also thank you so much for featuring this FC! The only mention of the Goyas on other English-language sites are of Salma Hayek & Melanie Griffith. You must be busy but I love seeing Red Carpets from places other than the US and Britain. Keep it coming!
My favorite is Michelle Jenner, so amazing!
This is a tough one, because they are all worthy of the title and I am going with Clara Lago in Zuhair Murad. But our American celebs should take a good look at how these women did it, because they did ti so very well.
Really hard to choose. Mar Saura followed by Salma and Clara but all very close.
And Blanca Suárez???
Clara`s dress was more impressive when seen on TV! she has improved soooo much from her last year cute-but-nothing-else LBD!
This is definately one of the best dressed events in a while!
Clara knocked me out! Actually they all did, what a room to have been in…so many stunning, stunning Women.
usually, i am between two, but this time i could not decide from five!! the best red carpet so far

Miss America Nina Davuluri, who grew up St. Joe Michigan, is back in Michiana. "I never thought I would come back as Miss America," she says. "It's been very surreal."
We caught up with Davuluri Monday as she took a tour of St. Joe Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka. "Just coming back to this area, this is truly where my home is," she says. "I have such close connections and ties to this community so it's really, really special."
Davuluri is a University of Michigan Graduate. She studied Brain Behavior and Cognitive Science. She tells us she is now in the process of applying for Medical School.
She spent part of her day Monday talking with girls about the importance of education, particularly in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. "That's one of my causes and missions during this year of service," she says.
The future doctor says she hopes to inspire young girls to become well-rounded. "That's what will ultimately lead to success," she says.

Checking Account Rate Deal at Cardinal Bank in VA, MD & DC - Local Only
Cardinal Bank is offering a good checking account deal. Its First Choice Checking has a 2.01% APY for balances up to $100,000 (0.31% over). These rates are listed in the bank's First Choice Checking page as of 1/31/2012. It's a limited time offer, and there's no mention how long this rate will last. Credit to iBankDesign member ichaelm for this find.
Unlike the typical reward checking account, you can qualify for the top rate without debit card usage. To qualify for the top rate, they give you the choice between direct deposit OR 10 debit card purchases per statement cycle.
One downside to this account is a potential monthly fee of $15. To avoid this fee, you have to maintain a $5,000 minimum daily balance. The bank has more First Choice Checking details in its FAQs page. On the question about how long the 2.01% APY will last, it states "While we cannot guarantee our rates will never change, no formal end date to the offer has been set." The FAQs also mention that there is no minimum amount for the direct deposit.
There's an online application for accounts. However, at the bottom of the rate sheet, the following is mentioned:
Accounts opened online through cardinalbank.com are available to customers who reside in the Cardinal Bank market which includes the Washington DC metropolitan area of Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
Most of their branches are in Northern Virginia with one branch in DC and one in Bethesda, Maryland.
The bank's overall health score at DepositAccounts.com is 5 stars (out of 5) with a Texas Ratio of 5.31% (excellent) based on September 2011 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Cardinal Bank for more details. The bank has been a FDIC member since 1998 (FDIC Certificate # 34733).
Finding the Best Reward Checking Account
Compared to other reward checking accounts, this Cardinal Bank checking account rate is a little low. However, its balance cap is way above average, and that may make this account worthwhile for some.
If you're new to reward checking, my post on the common reward checking traits should be useful. To compare reward checking accounts based on interest rates and balance caps, you can use our reward checking rate table. Refer to this post for details on how to use the rate tables.

The Halloween that we know and love (or fear!) today is a relatively modern American tradition. Some cultures around the world have begun to adopt Halloween traditions such as trick-or-treating, pumpkin carving and haunted houses, but Halloween remains a major holiday only in the United States. Halloween in the United States is often frankly and intentionally scary, and it can feel overwhelming, especially for those who suffer from Samhainophobia, or the fear of Halloween.
History of Halloween
Although the modern conception of Halloween is an American idea, the holiday is rooted in ancient pagan traditions, particularly those of the Celtic Druids. The festival of Samhain was celebrated as early as 2,000 years ago to mark the night before the Celtic New Year. October 31, the last day of the Celtic year, was seen as a time when the veil between the living and the dead was thin, and ghosts could walk among the living for both good and evil. The Samhain festival was centered around massive bonfires, ritual sacrifices to the gods, and fortune-telling. Participants generally wore costumes made from animal skins.
By the Middle Ages, Christianity had spread across most of the ancient Celtic lands, and Christian rituals were blended with older pagan traditions. November 1 became the new date to celebrate All Martyrs' Day, which was moved from May 13, while November 2 was declared All Souls' Day. Gradually, the two merged into a singular All Saints Day, celebrated on November 1, and October 31 became All Hallows Eve. Although the name changed, October 31 celebrations largely mirrored those of the old Celtic holiday.
All Hallows Eve, now generally known as Halloween, came to the United States with the early colonists. The New England colonies generally eschewed Halloween, as it was in conflict with the colonists' strict Protestant beliefs. In the southern colonies, however, the celebration flourished. The Old World traditions blended with the beliefs of the Native Americans, creating an all-new festival. Ghost stories, mischief-making, plays, songs and dance became important parts of the festivities.
By the mid-19th century, a wave of new immigrants wholeheartedly embraced the festivities, bringing their own traditions and further influencing the development of the holiday. For example, Irish immigrants brought the idea of carving turnips on All Hallows Eve, which evolved into a pumpkin-carving tradition in the United States. Most of the ancient supernatural connotations were dropped during this period as Halloween became more of a community-based, family-friendly party. Grotesque and frightening costumes were largely replaced by more festive creations.
By the 1950s, Halloween had become largely child-centered. Most Halloween parties took place in schools or private homes, removing much of the community festival feel. Trick-or-treating, once a common practice for beggars in Europe, became a way for the community to remain involved, even for those who did not have children.
Over the next decades, however, Halloween gradually evolved to include scares. Although many of the frightening elements were based in ancient myths and legends, they were added simply as entertainment. The earliest haunted attractions were small home or community-based projects with relatively simplistic costumes and props. These attractions expanded Halloween's popularity to include teens and adults as well as children. The Jaycees haunted houses of the early 1970s and the 1973 debut of Knott's Berry Farm's "Knott's Scary Farm" event ushered in a new age of intensely frightening Halloween events.
The Phobia
The fear of Halloween is a complex phobia that may have many different causes. The holiday's pagan roots and traditional association with ghosts and witchcraft may cause fear, especially for those with religious conflicts. People who are undergoing a crisis of faith, questioning their religious beliefs, may be at an increased risk for this type of Halloween phobia.
In some people, the fear of Halloween is rooted not in ancient beliefs and practices, but in modern traditions. Some people genuinely do not enjoy the feeling of being startled or scared, yet modern Halloween traditions rely on scares as a major portion of the evening's entertainment. Even if you skip the haunted attractions, ghost stories and other obviously-frightening events, people may try to startle you at costume parties and other Halloween get-togethers.
For some people, the fear of Halloween is based on other specific phobias. Ghosts, witches, vampires, zombies, blood, gore, darkness, lightning, masks, animatronics, tombstones, clowns and loud noises are just a few of the basic Halloween staples. If you have a phobia of these or other relatively common elements, you may be triggered even by small children who are trick-or-treating in costumes and makeup.
Combating the Fear of Halloween
Working through the fear of Halloween is important, as it is one of the biggest holidays in the United States. Those who fear the holiday may have difficulty at work or school events as well as social activities. But how to cope with the fear depends on a variety of factors including the nature of your phobia, its severity, and your personal triggers.
If your fear is relatively mild, you may be able to combat it with basic coping techniques. Visualizing yourself successfully making it through a feared event, using purposeful breathing to calm your nerves, and attending with a supportive friend or relative can help bring down anxiety levels.
If your fear is more severe, however, then professional assistance may be required. Your therapist will help you determine exactly what you are afraid of, and create a treatment plan to work through your fears. Those with severe religion-based phobias might do well to seek spiritual counseling from a trusted religious leader, either instead of, or in addition to, professional therapy.
Although the fear of Halloween can feel isolating and overwhelming, the phobia generally responds well to therapeutic techniques. With a bit of hard work, there is no reason for your phobia to take over your life.Sources:

Fatigue is a vague feeling of being tired, weak, or exhausted. It is often a symptom of cancer when cancer is first diagnosed, or when cancer progresses. It is also the most common side effect of cancer treatment. Fatigue does not mean the cancer is getting worse, or that the cancer treatment isn't working.
Some people with cancer have described fatigue as being tired to the bones or hitting a wall. Others say it is the most distressing side effect of cancer treatment. Fatigue is different for everyone, so it is important that the person who is experiencing it describes how he or she feels. Fatigue may cause decreased ability to work or do physical activity, be involved with family, socialize with friends, or complete daily activities. Sometimes it even causes people to miss cancer treatments. If the person with cancer is easily distracted and unable to concentrate on mental work or activity, then he or she may have attentional fatigue. This may also be called chemo brain.
Depending on its cause, fatigue can come and go or stay constant for awhile. Fatigue from chemotherapy tends to occur a few days after the treatment, peaks, and then gets better before the next treatment. Fatigue from radiation usually doesn't happen right away. It may develop over the first 2 to 3 weeks of treatment and then increase as the treatment continues. It may last three months or more after the treatment is finished. Attentional fatigue can last up to 2 or 3 years after treatment is completed.
We currently understand some of the causes of fatigue but not all of them. Fatigue may be related to physical changes caused by cancer or its treatment (chemotherapy, biotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery). It is reported that the fatigue people get when receiving cancer treatment is more severe than the fatigue healthy people get. In addition, this fatigue lasts longer and is not relieved by sleep.
Studies have shown that low hemoglobin is also related to fatigue. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in the blood, so if it is low, the body cells do not get as much oxygen as they need. In addition, people who are not well-nourished, who don't drink enough fluid and are dehydrated, or who are not able to move around much tend to have fatigue more easily. Uncontrolled pain, depression, and insomnia can also cause fatigue. Finally, the way a person handles stress, thinks, or behaves can influence fatigue.

John Ameriks, TIAA-CREF Institute
December 2002 | Issue # 74
Upon reaching retirement, TIAA-CREF participants can choose from a variety of options to begin receiving an income stream from their accumulated pension assets. This article presents updated data and analysis regarding the income choices made by TIAA-CREF participants throughout the 1990s, building on the information presented in an earlier issue of Research Dialogue (King, 1996). The data presented here show a striking and uniform movement away from the use of the life annuity as a payout option from 1989-2001 following the introduction of non annuity payout options. While there is perhaps no single explanation for this trend, the changing nature of retirement in higher education may be a key factor.

Back in November last year, Kate Beckinsale wore this Gucci Resort 2012 dress to the LACMA's Art and Film Gala in LA.
She teamed her strapless white dress with a black-and-gold floral embroidered belt, a bronze-coloured Kotur clutch and dangling gold and black earrings that perfectly matched her gown.
Lacquered and loose hair completed her look.
On Sunday, Veronica Echegui wore the same dress to the 2012 Goya Cinema Awards.
She teamed her look with a more complementary black-and-gold Lara Bohinc clutch and sported sexy tousled hair.
Veronica's hair, clutch and overall sexy vibe win this for me.

Though the transportation industry is flourishing with wide options, Hummer limos in Vancouver have become very popular over the last few years. When they first appeared in the market, the models are noticed with the level of luxury, comfort and style that exceeded even the top choices of limos.
With stylish exterior looks to comfortable interior features, the hummer limo Vancouver can be categorized into the most stylish of limo options. Presently, the option has become the choices of more for an array of personal events like meet and greets graduation proms etc.
As far as seating arrangement is concerned, the option is great to carry as large as fourteen people comfortably. Very few models of limo are currently available that can accommodate the given number of people. This is why the option can be considered as the best for the people going to enjoy any event together.
A lot more space at the back is the factor that makes a Hummer different from other models. That space can be utilized in a number of ways to feel more comfortable in seating etc. Ultimately, it is due to its high level of comfort and stylish aspects that make modern limousine service providers in Vancouver the best. They offer the best of limo experiences to their customers for airport transfers, weddings, graduation parties and other requirements.

Best Cheap Drink Deals in Toronto
Posted: February 19, 2014
Drink deals in Toronto can be a little elusive. There are places in the city where you can pay $40 for a Smoked Manhattan, but chances are your pockets aren't that deep and you don't want to be sipping the same drink all night. Lucky for you we've rounded up drink deals to suit a variety of tastes, whether you're a wine lover, looking to get liquored up, or just want to enjoy a few pitchers with friends.
Hey Lucy Café
Cheap drinks don't have to be all about beer and bar rails; this trendy downtown chain has become known for its affordable martinis. You can choose from their menu of more than 20, all available for $4.49 on Wednesdays. Enjoy a few alongside some fresh pasta or stretched pizza made in the restaurant's authentic wood-burning oven.
This Queen West dive is the perfect place to gather with friends over a few pitchers. It may not be the fanciest place in the city, or even on the block, but with $10 pitchers and $3 bottles of Keith's, this place serves some of the cheapest beer downtown. And with prices like that, what more do you want?
If you're in the city's East End, The Linsmore Tavern, located on the Danforth between Greenwood and Coxwell, is the best place to party on the cheap. Another local dive, this historic hotel is nothing to get dressed up for, but its $1 draft beers are certainly something to celebrate.
Wine-drinkers will love this mid-town restaurant located just north of Davisville station. With a $0 corkage fee, you'll literally be paying liquor-store prices here. Enjoy your favourite bottle of wine with grilled calamari, linguine, pizza and more at no extra cost.
While the décor here is swankier than your typical burger joint, the food and drink prices are still a bargain. And while they serve an assortment of affordable drinks, this gourmet burger bar's real draw is its shooters, which can be purchased for a dangerous $2 each.
Be sure to carry some loonies and toonies with you if you're heading to this dark and dingy lounge in the Annex. At this U of T favourite, $3 will cover you for Jameson shots or mixed drinks on Fridays, Absolut shots or mixed drinks on Saturdays, draught on Sundays, and a mix of rail drinks, pints and shots throughout the week.

22 Items Found
- Los Ailos Syrah-Malbec 2013 Product #27960 (In Stock)
As much as we love Argentina's straight Malbec wines, they can get even better with the help of a blending partner. In the Los Ailos, Syrah plays that role, taking what would have been a pleasant, juicy, red to a whole new level of richness and flavor.
The 2013 Los Ailos Syrah/Malbec opens with pretty aromas of ripe cherry and black plum. Then, in the mouth, it's ripe and juicy with plenty of fresh black fruit, a little leather, and a nice touch of minerality. It's balanced and fresh with a fine spread of ripe tannin on the back promising good things at table. Very nice value.
- O Fournier Urban Uco Malbec 2012 Product #27601 (In Stock)
A savory expression of Malbec - beefy and rich but with bright acids.
"The 2012 Urban Uco Malbec spent three months in oak barrels. The bouquet is well-defined with blackberry, boysenberry, touches of dark chocolate and anise. The palate offers chunky black fruit on the entry. It is fresh, a little rough round the edges, but true to what an unadulterated Malbec should be. For this price: unbeatable."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Parados Winemaker's Select 2013 Product #28524 (In Stock)
This is as fine a red for sipping and entertaining as anything we've ever seen at $10. An unusual and distinctive blend of 40% Sangiovese, 40% Tempranillo and 20% Malbec reflects Argentina's unique wine heritage – Italy, Spain, and France are all represented here!After a cool fermentation, the Winemaker's Reserve spends a couple of months in used oak barrels to soften and add a touch of spice. Pop a bottle and you'll find loads of red berry fruit aromas and flavors with just a touch of blackberry and dark, earthy, undertones. Fresh and zesty, the wine finishes with soft tannins and bright acidity that will let it take a chill nicely. Drink with burgers, grilled pork, meaty fish, or even wings and chili while watching a game. Fantastic value!
- Bodegas Monteviejo Festivo Torrontes 2012 Product #28632 (In Stock)
A delicious, exotic, and wild Torrontes that somehow retains enough focus and control to work with food, too. It's a bit like a cross between Muscat (exotic fruit and floral notes) and Gewurztraminer (ginger and warm spice) with loads of peach and mango at the core. Lovely sweetness to the fruit flavors and fine acidity to balance the lite residual sugar at the end. Exciting stuff!
- Los Medanos Malbec Mendoza 2013 Product #28150 (In Stock)
Here's a fun, classy, Malbec made entirely from organically grown grapes in the high and dry sunshine of Mendoza. Aromas of dark black fruit - cherry, currant, raspberry - lead to richly textured flavors of dark fruit, cedar, vanilla and baking spice. Mouthfilling, but not heavy, it finishes with generous notes of creamy cherry, cedar and spice. Terrific value and great with burgers or anything roasted or off the grill.
- Bodega Benegas Malbec Juan Benegas 2011 Product #27674 (In Stock)
This little gem WAY over delivers for its modest price. Winegrower/maker Federico Benegas Lynch is a master of getting perfectly ripe fruit from his old-vine vineyards and, with help from master consultant Michel Rolland, turning out honest wines of great depth and character. Here you'll find a fun, fruity, wine with earthy blackberry, blueberry, spice and coffee aromas and flavors. An iron ore minerality adds complexity and the round tannins and bright acids just the right support. It's fruitier and not quite as complex as Frederico's Estate Malbec, but just perfect for parties or pairing with everyday meals.
- Gouguenheim Malbec 2013 Product #28021 (In Stock)
A ripe, meaty, Malbec that will work at table or on it's own. 100% Malbec pleasure with almost no wood influence. Pretty aromas of black berries, spice, lavender and red licorice lead to smooth, rich, flavors of blackberry and blueberry and a lash of coffee and smoky spice. An easy drinker that has more meaty heft going on than you'd expect for the price. Bet this would sing with steak rubbed with coffee and ancho chile!
- Bodegas Monteviejo Malbec Festivo 2012 Product #28500 (In Stock)
A lot more serious fun than most Malbec in this price range, it's soft enough to sip and deep enough to love rich food.
"The 2012 Festivo Malbec is produced from their own grapes from Tunuyan in the Uco Valley planted at 1,100 meters altitude, fermented in inox and aged in vats with the lees from some of the other wines for about one year. Displaying a creamy nose with abundant notes of blueberries and flowers, it is very showy, with lots of volume in the palate, freshness, moderate acidity, and pure fruit juice. Very good and great value. 200,000 bottles produced. Drink now."Wine Advocate 87 points
- Bodegas Monteviejo Malbec Festivo 2012 Product #28581 (In Stock)
A lot more serious fun than most Malbec in this price range, it's soft enough to sip and deep enough to love rich food. This vintage is a bit darker and jammier than the last, but it still finishes clean thanks to the firm structure. No oak, but plenty of spice and fine-grained tannin.
- Hacienda Del Plata Zagal Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 Product #28407 (In Stock)
A delicious bottle of Cabernet full of flavor and character. Smells great with big scents of cherry and currant plus a touch of mint. Then juicy and ripe red plum, cassis, blackberry and raspberry fruit flavors with a dash of crushed mint and a dusting of cocoa powder. Dark chocolate comes up with air and the fruit gets darker and deeper, but everything stays fresh with fine tannins and nice oak shadings on the finish. A lot of richness and depth here for the money.
- Finca Decero Malbec Remolinos Mendoza 2011 Product #28530 (In Stock)
An outstanding value for such a well-made single-vineyard Malbec. This delivers the luxurious texture often found in Paul Hobbs' wines (he trained Decero's winemaker) but with more savory, meaty, notes to go with the blackberry and cherry fruit and dusting of bitter chocolate. Complex and really attractive, especially with something roasted or grilled.
"The 2011 Remolinos Vineyard Decero Malbec is young and fruity, with harmony, good acidity, great balance and purity. Clean, long, and well-proportioned with perfectly ripe fruit, it is a delicious wine at a great price."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Bodega Benegas Malbec Estate 2010 Product #26475 (In Stock)
Here's what Mendoza Malbec is all about. From organic vineyards and older vines, this opens with a pure perfume of plum and raspberry fruit with floral and spice accents. Round and complexly textured and flavored in the mouth, the fruit stays in the front with accents of stone, coffee, and cocoa. Long and lingering finish over the sweet, ripe, tannins. Excellent value.
- Catena Chardonnay Mendoza 2013 Product #28592 (In Stock)
Always a delicious value, the 2013 Catena Chardonnay may just be the best ever - and that's saying something for a wine that scores 90-93 points pretty much every year. A blend of oaked and tank-aged wine, it crackles with fantastic fresh apple, pear, peach and pineapple fruit framed by notes of crushed mint and toasted hazlenut. The vivid fruit pumps on through the juicy finish where Burgundy-like minerality and creamy toast notes linger. Fantastic stuff.
- Felino Vina Cobos (Paul Hobbs) Cabernet Sauvingon 2012 Product #27502 (In Stock)
As Wine Advocate says, Paul Hobbs's "Felino label has for a number of years been synonymous with value." Another fine vintage for this big, lush, Argentine Cabernet that's jam-packed with black fruit, chocolate, spice, and tobacco aromas and flavors. Lush and plush and nicely concentrated, this is great with a steak or just to sip.
- Bodegas Monteviejo Lindaflor Petite Fleur 2010 Product #28201 (In Stock)
A serious, dark, Malbec blend with notes of chocolate and superb concentration. Needs air and big meant now. This is great value.
"The 2010 Petite Fleur is a blend of 50% Malbec, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Syrah and 10% Merlot cropped at nine tons per acre. It has a ripe bouquet of creme de cassis, marmalade and blood orange that could be overbearing, but it is undeniably nicely controlled. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry. It has superb weight of fruit, while the finish is powerful yet elegant, with Asian spices, dark cherry and dried orange peel lingering on the aftertaste. Drink 2013-2018."Wine Advocate 90 points
- Angulo Innocenti Malbec La Consulta 2012 Product #28301 (In Stock)
A big Malbec that stays poised and focused, with half the wine raised in tank for freshness.
"The opaque purple-colored 2012 Malbec is a big (14.5% natural alcohol), 1,800-case cuvee that spent time in both neutral tanks (50%) and oak (50%). It reveals some spicy oak notes along with a big, sweet kiss of blackberry and black raspberry fruit as well as hints of camphor and white flowers. The complex aromatics are followed by a medium to full-bodied, lush, opulent Malbec to enjoy over the next 4-5 years, perhaps longer."Wine Advocate 91 points
- Catena Malbec Mendoza 2011 Product #27394 (In Stock)
Argentina's benchmark Malbec house never tires of delivering excellent wines. If you haven't had this in a while, now's the time.
"A dark and jammy red, with enough acidity to propel the roasted plum and wild berry compote notes. Layers of smoke, toasted spice and espresso emerge on the rich finish. Drink now through 2016."Wine Spectator 91 points
- Bodega Noemia Malbec A Lisa Patagonia 2012 Product #27826 (In Stock)
From the cooler Argentine region of Pategonia, A Lisa delivers more perfume, grace, and charm than you normally find in Mendoza Malbec but with plenty of juicy fruit, too. The bright acidity and light tannin make this a star at table!
"The 2012 A Lisa is a fragrant blend of 90% Malbec, 9% Merlot and a pinch of Petit Verdot from their estate vineyards planted in 2004 and grapes purchased from local grape growers. It is a wine of great freshness, with notes of violets, lilies, pomegranates, wild strawberries and a chalky sensation, The palate is medium-bodied, but feels rather light on its feet, with the freshness of blood oranges. It has great length and a mineral, almost salty finish. A great wine and a great value! Drink 2014-2017."Wine Advocate 92 points
- Hacienda Del Plata Arriero 2010 Product #28326 (In Stock)
A luscious Mendoza blend of 62% Malbec with 26% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Syrah. Big aromas of macerated blackberries and mint lead to a rich, complex, mouthful of tangy cherry, black plum, and blackcurrant with accents of roasted coffee and tobacco. Richly textured with plush tannins, it finishes broad and mouthcoating but not heavy. Spice notes linger nicely.
- Mendel Malbec Mendoza 2012 Product #28674 (In Stock)
This could just be the best vintage ever of this long-time favorite of fans of lush, rich, nicely oaked, Malbec. Powerful and great with steak!
"Wonderful nose of dark fruits, dark chocolate, spices and hints of graphite. Love the subtle aromas. Full body, with extremely integrated tannins. Wonderful length and refinement. About one-third new wood. Fabulous. Drink or hold." JamesSuckling.com 94 points

Two days after injuring himself in a fall, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was released from a Phoenix hospital.
He took to his twitter Saturday night to say, "I was released from the hospital late today. Thank you for all of your kind wishes."
The toughest Sheriff in America took a tumble Thursday in downtown Phoenix.
Doctors found that he had a broken shoulder.
While the Sheriff was still hospitalized, Ava Arpaio said he was ready to get back to work. "He gets impatient if he has to stay in bed."

Make no mistake about it I am in the "Keep the Astros the Astros" camp. But As I pondered a new name; I began to wonder... should we go back to our roots?
Houston Buffs were a minor league team (missing a few years) from 1888-1961. They were an American Minor League team for the Cardinals and some well known players came through Houston as minor leaguers such as Dizzy and Daffy (Jerome and Paul) Dean, Joe Medwick, Hal Epps and Solly Hemus. In Houston's last minor league season they were the AAA team for the Cubs in 1961. (Any wonder why there are still plenty of Cardinals fan here?)
In 1962; Houston was granted the NL team known as the Colt 45's. Later the name was changed to the Astros Or officially the Houston Astronauts honoring Houston's association with the Space program and NASA.
Would there be support for re-naming the Astros the Buffaloes (for Buffalo Bayou), Colt 45's (The original name) or perhaps taking a jab at Bud Adams from the baseball side and using the Oilers (anything that upsets Bud is a good thing in my mind)??
What do you think?

I was saddened to hear that the beautiful and vibrant Kerri-Anne Kennerley recently found a small pea-sized lump in her breast which has been diagnosed as breast cancer. This disease does not discriminate and too many women are diagnosed each year.
As upsetting as I found the news of the diagnosis itself, I was horrified to hear that KAK has delayed her surgery to appear on the finale of Dancing With The Stars. I think this sends the wrong message – in a BIG way.
I've been an advocate for women to self-examine for a long time after losing my mum to Breast Cancer when I was 6, and my 'second mum' to it in November last year. It is a horrible illness that is often discovered too late.
Could they have not simply said that her surgery was scheduled for next week? The implied message that this can be delayed for social reasons tells people that it is ok to 'put it off' until it suits your schedule.
I'm here to tell you NOT to put it off. Go and have a mammogram today, keep regular appointments after you reach 40 and be aware of how to self-examine. I've written about that before, read it here. It's simple and may just save your life. The National Breast Cancer Foundation reports that 2800 women die every year from the illness, and there are nearly 14,000 new diagnoses every year. Early detection is still the best method for reducing deaths, which is why it's vital that we all understand how to examine for abnormalities.
When Kylie Minogue was diagnosed in May 2005 the number of women who booked in for mammograms was unprecedented. If just one of those women was diagnosed early due to the stars' open discussions about Breast Cancer, then the media coverage was well worth it. Kylie had a tough battle on her hands and I can't even begin to imagine how hard that was for her, but she spoke about the importance of understanding your body and keeping regular doctors appointments. This made a difference and women listened.
On the flip side, if just one woman prolongs booking in an appointment due to hearing of KAK's delay for treatment due to a television appearance, aren't we sending the wrong message?
Please don't delay. Learn how to self-examine and if you're over 40, book in for a mammogram today. You're worth it and delaying it won't achieve anything.

(WMC-TV) - A new report shows infant mortality in the city of Memphis dropped significantly. The Memphis mayor has even called it one of the city's most urgent problems.
At one point, the infant mortality rate in Shelby County had been compared to third world countries by leaders at the Urban Child Institute. Although a report from the institute this year reveals several big developments. Among them is a 25 percent decrease in the number of babies who died in the last two years.
Leaders say it is a matter of awareness and public will. They say an increase in education is helping make strides.
Another part of the report that could be tied to the drop in infant mortality is a record low in the number of moms who give birth without proper prenatal care.
Read the full report from the Urban Child Institute here.

That The Dolphins are one of the better teams in the AFC.
I understand that I am a homer. Although being from Maine it is as far away from Miami as anyother place on the Atlantic coast. But if you truly just look at the black and white or the facts of this season so far we are one of the better teams after 2 games.
Houston is one the best that is safe to say. If you look at that game Miami was in control and right with them for the first 25 minutes. Then one of the strangest 5 minutes of football happened. I have watched alot of football and aside from a colts bucs game 9 or so years ago I do not remember a stretch like that where luck played such a big part. all the pundits pointed out that Miami was bad and see we told you so they are bad. But tipped passes for picks a RB almost Knocked out a few short fields against a team that has been told they stink all preseason and boom 21 points in less then 5 minutes. So I do not attribute this 5 minutes to a bad football team. If it was because they were a bad team seems to me they would have gotten blasted in the second half but they didnt. Granted they gave up some yards but the Texans did not let off the gas and Miami kept them out of the endzone. So for 55 minutes of football against one of the best teams in the AFC they were right there.
Against the Raiders they looked good, Very good. Yes it was a short week and a lot of travel for the Raiders who people say are bad but they smashed them. It really was not close RT could have passed all day against them but with Bush and Miller running like that why bother. RT looks very very good after 2 games the D is coming together and Hartline looks like a good #1 with Bess one of the better slot recievers in the League. How was the O line yesterday? pretty good Yea Jake got beat a couple of times and the rookie missed a block but the run blocking was great and the right side looked good. I really believe the Phins have showed after 2 games (yes it is early I know) There only real weakness right now is the secondary.
So everyone chattering about Ross and Ireland being lousy and Miami being awful lets wait a few more weeks because after they Beat the Jets things will be looking even better.

2011 Season Preview: The California Golden Bears And Schizophrenia Medication
If you guys aren't reading Bill Connelly's work at Football Study Hall, you're missing out on great writing and analysis from the premier college football statistical writer. If you haven't read anything about Cal football lately, this is a good look back and a good look forward based on the numbers. I don't agree with everything--college football advanced stats are still primitive--but his analysis is solid. Here's a sample quote. "What Greg Schiano is to Rutgers, Jeff Tedford is to California. In the last nine years under Tedford, Cal has had eight winning seasons; in the 28 years before Tedford took over, Cal had eight winning seasons. But like Schiano, Tedford's program has regressed in recent years, and he's reached the "Has he peaked?" portion of the general coaching life cycle. He has recruited rather well and produced plenty of individual talent, but the overall product on the field is not as good as it was in the 2006-07 window. Can he get it back? And ... exactly what happens if he doesn't?" Also. "Some teams have ups and downs; Cal needed a Thorazine prescription [in 2010]."

Well, there are signs of a Google vs Apple war. That will be over Chromebook. Google seems to be pretty serious about launching its Chromebook. The Google Chromebook with a high definition 2560x1700 resolution screen is said to take on Apple's Retina MacBook Pro.
A Wall Street Journal report quoting sources stated that Google Inc. has developed the first touchscreen laptops powered by its Chrome operating system to be sold later this year.
What has given that report a boost is a video uploaded by developer Francois Beaufort. Fancois Beaufort posted the video titled "New ChromeBook Pixel - Next Generation Concept" to his Google+ page.
NDTV says the video was apparently leaked by Slinky.me who have worked with Google in the past. A message posted on the website's homepage says that the website was attacked by hackers who may have leaked the video.
Whether Google Chromebook is coming or not, only Google knows for now.

Zack Follett will be at the game today!
[...] Driving to the bay tomoro for cal game..
But he won't be on the sidelines...
whos got 2 tickets for this cal game tomorrow
...but why wouldn't Zack wanna be on the sidelines???
called and asked and they said they cant do anything for me! but they hit me up to donate to the new facility NEAT
Ohhhh, it's because college athletics is just as "what-have-you-done-for-me-lately" as professional sports. Look, I know that Zack had a rough run in the NFL(although he was making progress, and his career was sadly cut short by injury). I know he doesn't have the cachet of an Aaron Rodgers or a Jahvid Best... but come on! Zack was the heart and soul of a very successful Cal defense! He was a fan favorite, and just a huge part of many of our Cal football experiences - and it's not like it was all that long ago!! I know it's a tight squeeze down on the baseball pitch, but they can't find a space him for him to fit onto the sideline? Hell, they can't even get him a damn ticket?? That's just wrong.
I get, I get it. Zack isn't a sexy alum. He wouldn't get ESPN camera time if he's on the sidelines, like Aaron or Jahvid or Marshawn would.He's not who recruits want to see when they're trying to make their big decisions. But is there nothing to be said for loyalty? For school pride?
There is, of course, the question of "where does it stop? If Zack is a yes, can JJ Arrington get in? How about Vince D'Amato? What about 'walk-on-who-never-played-but-gosh-he-was-a-nice-kid'? I know, ya gotta draw the line somewhere, especially at a primetime game. But hey, how high does the line get drawn? What does it come down to? Is NFL glory?(Yes.) Is it fame?(Yes.) Is it money?(Yes.) Is it...
...never mind.
Obviously, I want the famous NFL alums on the sidelines - it looks good, it builds our brand, it brings in recruits, and dammit if it doesn't just make us feel good about ourselves! I'm not mad about that at all, I absolutely love it when they visit! Heck, the Browns are playing the Raiders on Sunday, maybe we'll see Alex Mack there :) I know there have to be some rules about this sort of thing, and clearly I'm not the one to make them, but...
I just don't buy it. To leave Zack Follett out in the cold, to brush off someone who's meant SO much to this team so recently... it's just not right.
But hey, at least they had the courtesy to ask him for money, right?
I guess they didn't want him feeling left out.

Review: Tasty Bits, Darwen
11:38am Friday 23rd September 2011 in Takeaway reviews By Simone O'Kane
Lancashire Telegraph review by Simone Yates from Thursday, September 23 2011.
Address: Tasty Bits, 524 Bolton Road, Darwen
I HAVE stopped off at Tasty Bits takeaway and cafe for an early morning breakfast fix in the past — but this time I called in to buy lunch for that day.
The menu offers a variety of hot and cold foods, including crumpets from 50p, and if you're a bit more peckish, there's burgers from just £1.90.
I ordered a ham salad sandwich that was served on an exceptionally large teacake with freshly-carved ham and lots of salad.
The portion was generous, with tomatoes, red, green and yellow peppers, onion, lettuce and cucumber.
At £1.90 it was well worth the money and could have easily been shared between two people.
For my lunching companion Tasty Bits wasn't such a success. Her tuna salad box, at £2.40, was less than appetising. With a stingy portion of rather strong tasting tuna, and some less than fresh cucumber, sadly most of it was thrown in the bin.
Although it was still early, the cafe looked inviting when I visited and the counter was clean. With hot and cold drinks being served too, it's a perfect excuse to go back and eat inside.
A coconut and jam slice was added to my order for just 80p extra, so you can't argue with the value, but they may need to work on their salads.

Kaydee Kats is located on Prospect Road in Peoria Heights--and specializes in burgers and pizza. Don't think that means there's a limited menu. You can build your own burger or pizza, by choosing from a variety of items.
Kaydee Kat's is named, by the way, after Kaydee Couri --whose father came up with the idea of a gourmet burger place for Peoria.
Colleen Creson, manager says "there's nothing in area that has the combination of burgers and pizza, and we wanted to have fresh ingredients.'"
Photographer Joe Bennet and I decided to stick with burgers. The signature meat is a mixture of angus beef and smoked bacon.
"We worked on it to get the right combination of beef and smoked bacon."
I got my one-third pound burger on a multi-grain bun, with pepperjack cheese, a vidalia onion, with mayo and topped with pecan smoked bacon.
Joe had the half-pound burger with american cheese and lettuce, grilled onion and pineapple, tomato, bbq sauce, teriyaki sauce, spicy brown mustard and topped with bacon.
Both come with endless french fries.
Let's cut to the chase. These are good and tasty sandwiches. If you can't build a burger to suit you...it's your fault.
How good are they? The ghost of Gotta Eat past-- Eric Shangraw--was having his lunch there too.
Our bill--with soft drinks--came to $26.89 cents..
Kaydee Kats is open 11 to 9 daily.

Dozens of homeowners concerned about rising flood insurance rates showed up at a meeting in Morehead City Thursday.
The State Department of Public Safety was on hand to explain why the National Flood Insurance Program is changing.
Congress passed a law last year called the Biggert Waters Act, requiring a 25 percent increase in flood insurance premiums for some homeowners in flood-prone areas.
Many people showed up to find out whether their pocketbooks would be affected.
The Public Safety Department says the federal government underestimated how vulnerable some areas are, so they're raising premiums to match how often those areas flood.
"I'm kind of really fed up with the way things are with government. They just say, 'We're going to do it,' and do it. You know, I never got a letter from the flood people saying, 'Well, we're thinking about raising the rates and this is the reason and all that,' and nobody really knows what's going on," said Greg Earler, a Beaufort resident.
The Public Safety Department says Congress passed the law partly in response to the overwhelming number of Hurricane Katrina flood insurance claims.
-- Previous story --
Flood insurance premiums could jump 25 percent for some homeowners on the Crystal Coast.
The State Department of Public Safety says it's a result of a change in the National Flood Insurance Program mandated by Congress.
Most homeowners won't see a hike, but Congress is mandating a 25 percent increase in flood insurance premiums for those who meet the following three criteria, according to Randy Mundt, outreach supervisor of the North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program at the North Carolina Department of Public Safety:
"The changes are to try and make sure that the National Flood Insurance program maintains its stability and is viable into the future," said Mundt.
Mundt says the changes fall under the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, which went into effect January 2013. The goal is to help prevent a problem FEMA has been dealing with for years, especially in the Gulf Coast.
"Those properties were continually flooded, claims made, claims paid, to the point where over time, you could have bought the house two or three times over," said Mundt.
Thursday the town of Morehead City will host a public forum about the NFIP and the policy changes that could affect you.
Wanda Eastep, who lives in a flood-prone area in Morehead City, says she is planning to go "to be informed of why they feel the need to increase the rates."
"Insurance is expensive as it is. And to keep increasing it, it puts a real dent in a person's income, particularly if you're retired," said Eastep.
The forum is Thursday from 3 to 4:30 PM at the Morehead City Municipal Building.
Mundt says Congress passed the law partly in response to the overwhelming number of Hurricane Katrina flood insurance claims.
He says the NFIP is currently in debt over $17 billion to the federal government to pay those claims, not including Hurricane Sandy, in which they borrowed over $9 billion to cover NFIP claims.

I read somewhere that with 45 wins, they have the third-highest total to never make the playoffs in the 16-team format. Maybe 46 before this is all over. 48, by GSW last year, was the highest total ever.
A list of bad losses (meaning, to bad teams they should have beat) includes:
Chicago (11/7), Miami (11/28), New Jersey (11/30), Indiana (1/7), Minnesota (1/16), New York (1/21), Charlotte (1/23), Chicago (1/31), Golden State (2/4), Philadelphia (2/9),
Miami (3/4), Sacramento (3/29), Memphis (3/10)
Don't read into this; Gentry hasn't had the opportunity to lose too many of those games and he did navigate the 0-6 stretch that killed the Suns in early March. Anyway, that's 13 games. Against those teams, the Suns should have easily won 7 games. The teams of yesteryear would have done at least that much. That's 52 or 53 wins -- maybe more. Right now, Denver is in second with 54 wins (and one game to go). The Suns are also under .500 on the road since for the first time (I think) since the last time they missed the playoffs.
I have no idea what all this means. It could mean that with a little tweaking they are a contender and top-four WCF playoff team. It could mean that the aging vets didn't care enough to give it their best effort against inferior teams. It could mean that the team doesn't care enough to come out and play on a consistent basis. It could mean Porter was doing something wrong. It could mean that next year, the development of a bench could give the aging vets some rest during the season when the inferior teams are on the schedule.
It does mean the Suns have under-achieved this year.
No point, just some observations to keep in mind when considering the necessary off-season moves.
