This sketch is another play on light and shadow. The human brain can visualize missing information from incomplete cues. This when translated to drawing, means when given just enough cues about the subject, the viewer can envision missing parts. This viewer involvement in envisioning process makes it interesting for them.
1. Drawing on the right side of the brain, Betty Edwards
Saddam Husein
After 'the proposal', it is just logical to follow up with getting 'Hitched'… This is my take on the movie poster of "The Ugly Truth".
The Proposal
Yenna solla pogiraai???
In looking at a picture, the viewer's eye is unconsciously directed around the picture area by the arrangement of lines and shapes. By using directional lines, we can guide the viewer to what the artist intends to look them at, says Ron Tiner. My interpretation is , if u see the path that i have shown they converge at a point, (at least in the figure). Here are two different people converging on a common point (love). I wanted to publish this sketch today coz tomorrow is valentine's day.
1. Figure drawing without model, Ron tiner.
I recently made a road trip to Wolfcreek, Colorado. We skied for a day, took pictures and had fun. After coming back I realized there wasnt a single pic which actually showed us skiing. So this toon is for all of us who skied. I am the 'speed-racer' leading the pack…
I have shown the sketch in two parts, one before and after shading. I used 3B and 4B pencils here.

Wild Wild West – The good and the bad
Dallas , among other things is famous for its football team, Cowboys and its cheer leaders. So a couple of cowboys to represent Dallas.
Moving on to the technical aspect,In a good action figure drawing, it should evident what has happened and /or what is about to happen.If the point in the action which you choose to depict epitomizes the entire maneover your drawing will be perceived and understood as moving figure, says Ron Tiner.

Bhaya – Rasa 7
Bhaya is fear. The subtle and nameless anxiety caused by a presentiment of evil, the feelings of helplessness evoked by a mighty and cruel ruler, and the terror felt while facing certain death are all aspects of bhaya. The fear for one's well being and safety is supposed to be the most primitive feeling known to man. Bhaya is the feeling evoked while facing something that is far bigger and more powerful than oneself and which is dead set on one's destruction, a feeling of being overwhelmed and helpless. Dread, cowardice, agitation, discomposure, panic and timidity are all aspects of the emotion of fear. Bhaya is also used to characterize that which causes fear. People and circumstances that cause others to cower in terror before them are as central to portrayal of this rasa as those feeling the fear…..
An anxiety has been tried to portray here.
All the while, I have been trying to portray the rasas in a symbolic fashion, thoughts, reactions, bodily movements and consciously avoided portraying it as expressions of the face. I do not know whether I ll be able to hold on to my stand for the remaining two rasas.
The last of the two rasas – Karuna and Shanta are consuming more time than expected . Hence I shall post them after a brief gap.
1. The Art of Drawing, Willim pogany
2. http://www.ee.caltech.edu/~gowaikar/rand/navaras.html
Javelin Throw
4 more rasas left..getting a bit monotonous.. Just took a break …
AlsoI wanted to try something in different genre. This one depicts his strides moments before the javelin is 'off' his hands….This one is truly "captured in motion"..Simple sketching with 2B pencil.
Ref :
1. Figure sketching without a model, Ron Tiner
Rowdra – Rasa1
I thought doing a sketch based on a theme. The first one to strike my mind was navarasas (9 emotions) .Wikipedia defines rasa as "something that denotes an essential mental state and is the dominant emotional theme of a work of art or the primary feeling that is evoked in the person that views, reads or hears such a work" . Rasas give colour to human life. The nine rasas are
1. Shringara 2. Hasya 3. Bhibatsya 4. Rowdra 5. Shanta 6. Veera 7. Bhaya 8. Karuna 9. Adbhuta
Case in point – Rowdra
Rowdra is anger and all its forms. Outrage over audacious behaviour and disobediaence, the fury caused by an offense, the rage evoked by disrespect and anger over injustice are all forms of Rowdra.
In this sketch, a symbolic representation is used to explain Rowdram.. Imagine how much anger should one guy have over the other person so as to think of squeezing a guy like a sheet of paper.
A more interested reader can refer these links to know more abt rasas.

Just when i thought things were going gud between me and my pencil, little did i realise what happened. The fingers of the hanging person didnt come out that gud, i tried to correct it and the result —the mess was more messier!!! That didnt stop me from posting it nonetheless:P

Dealing with artist envy

When you saw an art or read a story and began to feel envious or jealous towards the creators behind it, how do you overcome that nasty feeling? That envy inside you?

Cry a lot. (Metaphorically speaking--I find a pained grunt is usually sufficient.)
Then vow to do better.
Never hurts to contact the person and tell them you're impressed, too--that way if they're nice people, you can pick their brain for useful tidbits, and if they're assholes, you can tell yourself that they may be better, but at least YOU'RE not such a raving jerk.
But really, when it comes down to it, seething envy and silent wishes of death is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

I have every reason to be jealous, if not for the art, at least because the creators' stories have a lot of potential that should be explored.
Like Megatokyo, for example. It's not my place to suggest stuff to Fred Gallagher, but I always felt it's missing something. Like they should have sumo wrestlers, irritateable expats from hell (like William Beckerson), Piro testing his manhood by challenging a tsunami, Christopher Walken, James Woods & Lewis Black making appearances, Piro's worried parents, Japanese equivalents of rednecks, Osaka mob, a Brooklyn-accented fairy to offset Sera, that oh so cute adversary of hers and that damn squirrel etc. I tried suggesting this on the boards, but them posters are so fucking anal, I can't even catch a wind!
There are other stuff I'm envied about, just because the stories don't go where I expected.
Yessir my life is sad.

You know, somebody else pointed out that storylines like Megatokyo would be impossible, as the Japan government wouldn't keep illegal migrants on their territory. If Piro and Largo need to go back home, all they need to do is look for the american embassy.
Now why don't you be really original and write a story about two brazilians stuck in Japan? Our japanese descendants have green card to work on Japan, and I heard some really scary stories about some of them stuck there because the agencies supposed to take care of their paperwork simply stole their money and disappeared.

Actually, if you'll pardon some really banal thoughts, envy is a good thing. Jealousy is where you like something someone else has and covet it and take it for your own, aka kidnapping the artist. Envy is that admiration of something someone else has and wishing to obtain it for yourself legit ways. So jealousy - stealing another man's wife, Envy - getting your own wife.
So I deal with envy by getting better at my own art. Then people get envious of me and I draw them monkeys.

About this Blog:
A daily digest of IT blogs. Richi Jennings curates the best bloggy bits, finest forums, and weirdest websites… so you don't have to. Catch the key commentary from around the Web every morning.
With the help of about 200 Sony Playstations, an international team of security researchers has devised a way to undermine one of the algorithms used to protect secure Web sites a capability that the researchers said could be used to launch nearly undetectable phishing attacks.
To accomplish that, the researchers said today that they had exploited a bug in the MD5 hashing algorithm used to create some of the digital certificates used by Web sites to prove they are what they claim to be. The researchers said that by taking advantage of known flaws in the algorithm, they were able to hack VeriSign Inc.'s RapidSSL.com certificate authority site and create fake digital certificates for any Web site on the Internet.
The researchers planned to present their findings today at the Chaos Communication Congress, a hacker conference being held in Berlin ... they say their work shows that the MD5 algorithm should no longer be used by the certificate authority companies that issue digital certificates.
The attack is possible because a handful of commercial organizations that provide components of the basic security infrastructure of the Internet are using an older security technology despite years of warnings that it is now potentially obsolete.
The demonstration underscores that the commercial infrastructure of the Internet, as well as its privacy and security, are based on an advanced branch of mathematics that in the future may become vulnerable to more powerful computing systems and more clever attackers.
The forged certificate causes all the major browsers to display a message indicating the website the user is visiting is legitimate because it's been vetted by a trusted certificate authority using supposedly robust cryptographic measures. Such attacks could make it easier for phishers to impersonate the sites of banks and other sensitive online services.
The latest findings ... show how so-called collisions allow for the creation of valid digital credentials used by certificate authorities, which are appointed organizations that validate the authenticity of websites used for banking and other sensitive online activities. Once the researchers have generated the rogue certificate authority certificate, they can create SSL certificates for any site that will be accepted by just about any web-connecting device.
The researchers ... said browser makers should take action to protect their users against the vulnerability ... [and] it should now be clear that MD5 is irretrievably broken and can no longer be trusted.
Basically, they are generating a certificate through a bogus Certificate Authority (CA) that is identical to one generated by a valid CA, and your browser has no way of knowing the difference. The good news is that most CA's now use SHA-1 as their hash algorithm, but there are still a few CA's that use MD5.
The researchers constructed the attack "using ... a cluster of more than 200 PlayStation 3 game consoles" ... Yep, that's right - PS3's.
Though I am not saying that hackers are going to start buying PS3's in bulk and use them for cracking SSL, I can say that it now looks like this is a more viable option. And I am sure Sony won't object.
The hash is a short (128-bit) code that is supposed to be a kind of unique digest of the certificate contents. To be secure, the hash method has to have several properties, one of which is that it should be infeasible to find a collision, that is, to find two values A and B which have the same hash.
Whose fault is this? Partly it's a consequence of problems with the MD5 hash method. It's been known for a few years that MD5 is in the process of melting down, so prudent designers have been moving away from MD5, replacing it with newer, better hash methods. Similarly, prudent CAs should not be signing certificates that use MD5-based signature methods; instead they should insist on signature methods involving stronger hashes.
Okay, so how does this affect you?
If the researchers results can be duplicated by a malicious agent, they could generate any number of certificates that would be trusted by browsers all around the world ... [If] coupled with a sophisticated DNS attack [it would] make it really really really hard for anyone to realize that theyd been suckered.
Granted, the level of effort required to perform such an attack is currently enormous ... so its likely not the kind of thing that would be pulled on average Internet users. But its still something about which to be concerned.

A bill to raise the fines for speeding on North Dakota roads has died.
House Bill 1048 was intended to deter people from speeding on highways.
The bill would have raised the fines for speeding in a 55 mile per hour zones or lower to $2 for each mile over, it would have bumped up to $4 a mile over for speeding in 60 and 65 mile per hour zones.
And left the fine for speeding in 70 and 75 mile per hour zones unchanged.
The bill got a majority of the votes in the House, but did not get the minimal number of votes, which is 48 to pass.
Sponsor Representative Dan Ruby, says 11 House members were absent last Friday which threw off the vote.
An attempt to reconsider the vote Monday also failed.
Ruby says he intends to bring the issue up again next session.

The Braun Aftermath: changes to the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program
MLB and the unions have agreed to several changes. I haven't had a chance to read over actual current agreement, but a summary is provided at the link above. The biggest changes IMHO: " Increasing the number of random tests during the season and offseason. Permitting public announcement of the specific substance that resulted in a player's positive test result or discipline. The parties have added over 45 performance-enhancing substances and stimulants to the list of prohibited substances in the program since the publication of the May 2008 Program. " They're also testing for HGH, but only in the offseason. Also they are changing/clarifying the rules for the collectors and the appeals process.

LOUISVILLE, KY - In a bold move to save himself in the CardChronicle's yearly, "Least Cool Person of the Year Award," Jeff Goodman of now CBSsports.com has ranked Rick Pitino 2nd and John Calipiari 4th in his "getting up there" 50-60 year old coaches. The article, ranking the top coaches in an old man verse young buck comparison, Lists Pitino 2nd stating:
2. Rick Pitino, Louisville: Has taken three different programs to the Final Four: Providence, Kentucky and Louisville. Won a national title in 1996 with the Wildcats after taking over a program in disarray. Pitino has also spent a handful of seasons in the NBA as the head coach of the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics.
Age: 58
Career record: 597-220 (25 seasons)
National championships: 1
Final Four appearances: 5
Goodman, is well known for his shady antics regarding twitter contests and never delivering the prizes. Once he claimed he was waiting to deliver the prize "in person," which is a great move for a guy that can't deliver on anything. In a not so surprising defeat, Goodman took the Gnome down in round 1 of the Least Cool Person of the Year Award with a whopping 71% over the Gnome's futile 28%. Goodman has also claimed that he will deliver the missing 1% in person.
Recently, Goodman made the move from FoxSports to CBS, and almost won the award for "person who looks like the biggest douche in their cbssports profile picture" but actually lost to Gary Parrish 28% to 71% {coincidence?}. Goodman has claimed in a recent interview that he has no idea why anyone is excited about the potential possibility of the missing 1% being eligible as it would not make a difference.
You're still not cool Goodman, and you never will be.

In case you haven't heard, the women's lacrosse team is the No. 1 seed in the Ivy Tournament. And since Franklin Field will be occupied by the Heps track meet this weekend, the lacrosse tournament will be held at Penn Park. If you're into being a part of history, I suggest heading down to Dunning-Cohen Champions Field (former home of the Bubble... I mean, seasonal air structure) at 5pm Friday, where you will witness the first ever varsity game on the field (it's Dartmouth versus Cornell). If you want to see the second varsity game on the turf at Penn Park, wait until 8pm when Penn takes on Harvard.
Tickets are $10 for students, but Penn Athletics has put together a nice deal. The team is on Locust Walk today until 2pm and tomorrow from 11-2 giving tickets to anyone who can score on a goal. Apparently it's pretty easy, so save yourself the money and take a shot!
The winners of Friday's games will face off in the championship round Sunday at noon, also at Dunning-Cohen. Definitely check it out.
Ticket info: If you can't get free tickets, Friday's tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. It's $10 and $5 on Sunday, and the weekend costs $20 for adults and $10 for students.

Handball.HO Shuk-ting
Passing the flame onto next generation
The former handball player HO Shuk-ting was one of Hong Kong's torch bearers in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In response to being allowed to serve as a torch bearer, she said, "The honor does not belong to me, but to my coach and fellow teammates." She has always been thankful to the coach that introduced her to handball and passed the flame of this sport onto the next generation. "This sport helped me grow and enriched my experiences of this world, so I really hope to share my experience with the young people," said HO Shuk-ting. In addition to being an outstanding player, she is also a veteran coach of handball. She is committed to nurturing the fresh blood in the local community of handball players, and received the Community Coach Recognition Award from the Hong Kong Coaching Committee in 2010.
HO Shuk-ting first came into contact with handball when she was studying in teachers' college. She then decided to join handball sport team after hearing about her school's plans to form a team. She has always felt that her basketball performance was limited by her stature. In comparison she found the speed, strength and agility required for handball to be more suitable for her, and that was the main reason she dedicated herself to this sport.
Bring out the best performance
HO Shuk-ting has been participating in handball events as an amateur since 1989 and has represented Hong Kong in a number of major competitions such as the Asian Games in 1990 and the East Asian Cup in 1992. She and her teammates always give their best in every competition. "Even if we know that there is a huge difference between our opponents and us, we all have the same goal in mind: we will strive for the best and leave no regrets even if the chances of winning are slim. We must try our hardest for the best results we can get and we can't let Hong Kong down. We have to treasure each and every opportunity we have to compete," said HO Shuk-ting.
To prepare for the competition, HO Shuk-ting used to practice six nights a week. "It was really exhausting, but even so, it was worth it! Sport is like this. If you are willing to pay, there you will always gain something!" said HO Shuk-ting. She then further explained that her hard work had increased her skills and fitness. Even though she is no longer as fit as before, it is thanks to her hard work in the past that she has been able to maintain her skills.
Sharing experiences with students
HO Shuk-ting is committed to teaching children more about handball, and has founded the Forbes Sports Association and organized training courses for the children. Moreover, she feels glad that she has the opportunity to teach the younger generation and share her experiences with them to introduce more people to handball. When speaking of her teaching experiences, HO Shuk-ting said she thinks that it is particularly important to emphasize basic skills training as this is neglected by most of the young athletes nowadays. "If they focus only on getting the ball in while playing, and neglect their opponents or act only according to their own initiatives while playing, then their horizons cannot be broadened." Therefore, she always reminds players to be flexible and adapt to stand out from the others.
Apart from training handball players, HO Shuk-ting also wishes to nurture more coaches and judges. "To train more athletes, we need to train the coaches and judges first. This is also beneficial for the growth of the club and the development of handball." said HO Shuk-ting. This is also the long term goal set by the Forbes Sports Association.
Nurturing the youth under the influence of her coach
HO Shuk-ting's commitment to nurturing the next generation is the result of the influence of her first coach. "I would not have had the chance to play handball if it wasn't for Mr LI Ping-kun. He gave me many chances. At the time, I had only played handball for one year, but even so, he was still willing to help me fight for the chance to take part in the East Asian Cup. Later on, he also suggested that I become a committee member of the Handball Association of Hong Kong, China. Currently the Vice-President of the committee, she still thinks that there is an urge inside her to follow the path of Mr LI in order to pass her experiences to the next generation.
HO Shuk-ting said that the Leisure and Cultural Services Department has provided community sport clubs with a lot of support and subsidies for coaching fees and venue charges for the nurturing of young sport players. As a community handball club, the Forbes Sports Association is able to organize trainings courses and competitions for young players under the subsidy scheme. She believes that the organization of these training courses will give young players more opportunities to play handball and would help the club find outstanding players. In the future, she will continue to promote and popularize this sport with her passion for handball.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire's top court has upheld the sentence of the state's only death row inmate.
The New Hampshire Supreme Court's ruling announced Wednesday opens the way for convicted cop killer Michael Addison to become the first person executed in New Hampshire since 1939.
Addison, who's 33 years old, was convicted of gunning down Michael Briggs in 2006. The 35-year-old Manchester police officer was attempting to arrest Addison on a string of armed robbery charges.
Addison's lawyers argued that holding the trial in a courthouse a stone's throw from the Manchester police department injected passion and prejudice into the jury's verdict.
The ruling comes nearly a year after the court heard unprecedented daylong arguments the first death penalty appeal to come before it in 50 years.

Three adults and an unborn child with ties to the Upstate are dead after a bus crash in Indianapolis, Indiana Saturday evening, according to a statement released by Bob Jones University Sunday and 7 On Your Side's CBS affiliate, WISH TV in Indianapolis.
"Bob Jones University is deeply saddened by the injury of a number of individuals and the deaths of three of our graduates and an unborn baby in the bus accident in Indianapolis Saturday. While situations like this are difficult to understand, we have absolute faith that God is in control of every circumstance in the lives of those who believe in Him. The Bob Jones University family continues to pray for those injured and their families, the families of those killed and the members of Colonial Hills Baptist Church at this difficult time"
The statement was released just before 3 p.m. (EST) on Sunday, less than a day after the accident occurred on an Indianapolis highway.
7 On Your Side spoke with a Pastor at the Calvary Baptist Church in Simpsonville. Pastor Jeff Hamrick was the youth pastor at Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis, where the students were returning to. Chad Phelps moved into the position of youth pastor at that church. His wife Courtney and her family attended the Calvary Baptist church in Simpsonville for more than ten years. The couple was married there and volunteered with the youth.
"They just shared a passion for other peoples children and wanting to care for them," said Valentine.
Cheryll Valentine was close friends with Courtney and trusted the couple with her children. She described them as kind, enthusiastic and joyful.
"Her smile and hearing her laugh, its been in the forefront of my mind all day," Valentine said.
Pastor Hamrick said he and Chad would joke about Chad going to work for his father and if Hamrick had any advice for him. He said Phelps was excited about his new position, was settling in well and was doing an incredible job with the children.
"He knew what he believed and what he thought was right and he lived those things out. That was him and he did so joyfully with energy and Courtney was the same way. Everywhere she went lights came on, vibrant joyful giving, " he sad.
Hamrick said he is trying to console the members of his church that are grieving and remind them that the couple is in a better place. Hamrick said sometimes the best thing he can do is comfort and cry with friends and family of the couple.
"From family and friends we hear it's a bittersweet time and for folk in church and people of faith during times of tragedy we cling to truth," said Hamrick.
The church is on a three day retreat and will discuss plans for a possible memorial when they return.

Indianapolis (AP)- A bus carrying teenagers returning to Indiana from a church camp in Michigan crashed Saturday afternoon just minutes from home, killing three people and sending 26 others to hospitals, officials said.
The bus came speeding off of Interstate 465 in northern Indianapolis, about a mile from the Colonial Hills Baptist Church that passengers attended, struck a retaining wall as it rounded a curve and overturned. The campers were returning from Camp CoBeAc in northern Michigan, about six hours away.
The church's youth pastor had sent a tweet a couple of hours before the crash saying the group was expected to arrive at the church about 4:15 p.m., around the time the accident happened.
"They were not that far from home. That only adds to the tragedy," said Indianapolis Public Safety Director Troy Riggs.
The dead included a man and his wife, Riggs said. Authorities did not provide information about the third victim.
Riggs and Mayor Greg Ballard visited the crash scene, where clothing, pillows and seat cushions from the bus were scattered along with at least two shattered windows, before they headed to the church. Riggs said there was no indication that the driver had a medical emergency and called the accident "a great tragedy."
Ballard said investigators were taking measurements and examining the bus to determine the cause of the crash.
WTHR-TV reported the bus driver told witnesses his brakes failed. Indianapolis Fire Department Lt. Ato McTush said police and fire officials had not determined whether the church-owned bus, which was carrying 37 passengers plus the driver, had mechanical issues.
Duane Lloyd told WTHR that he heard a loud noise behind him as he was traveling near the intersection and saw the crash around 4:15 p.m.
"I heard a skid. I looked back. I see this bus in the air and people falling out of the bus," Lloyd said. "I could have gone my whole life without seeing that."
Karen Woodard, a member of Colonial Hills Baptist Church, cried as she stared at the wrecked bus.
"It's so terrible. I can't believe it," she said.
Indianapolis Fire Department said crews had to free five people who were trapped inside after the crash. Several people stopped to help before first responders could arrive, including one man who helped pull the driver out of the bus, the department said.
"People were stopping their cars. People were literally trying to lift the bus," Lloyd said. "You just try to do what you can do."
Fire officials said the injured included children and adults.
Nine teenagers were taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital, including one in critical condition. Three of those were treated and released, hospital spokeswoman Sally Winter said. She said 10 others, including nine teenagers and a toddler, were taken to Riley Hospital for Children. Seven of those teenagers were treated and released, Winter said.
Many of the patients were suffering head, arm and leg injuries, fire officials said.
Roads near the scene were closed, and authorities urged people to use caution in the area. A hazardous materials crew was cleaning up diesel fuel that spilled in the crash.
Outside the church, a yellow school bus with the church school's name was parked outside with piles of sleeping bags and suitcases nearby. Families hugged outside and talked quietly before going inside, where they met with Ballard and Riggs Saturday evening.
Ballard described the families as "remarkably positive" despite their sorrow.
"Some of the teenagers are hurting pretty bad and you can see that in their faces," he said.
Church member Jeff Leffew, 44, of Fishers, who had three daughters on the bus that crashed and a fourth on a second bus, said he was waiting to pick them up in the church parking lot when the second bus arrived. He said he knew immediately that something was wrong because the kids on the bus were screaming.
He went to the crash scene and found his three daughters with only bumps and bruises.
He called the crash scene "surreal."
"You're just praying that it's not as bad as it looks," he said.

I'm proud to announce my new writing project: Restless Deep.
As I say in the about page for the site, it's kind of like a literary webcomic: I'm hoping to post up brief stories that can be read during a coffee break.
Read on for a few more thoughts.
The overarching goal is to build a coherent fantasy word starting with the equivalent of prehistory. Imagine if the world were populated by the typical fantasy races. Now, what happens as they slowly discover magic and how to use it?
It's my first big writing project. I hope to post up stories on a regular basis instead of posting stuff on here every so often.
Feel free to leave feedback over on that site. :)

I like it. Much better than Sunday poetry. :P

I'll need more than 1 coffee break to catch up. And if not, I'll still take a second coffee break :-)

Maple Sweet Potato-Apple Bake Recipe
When making this casserole, I use tart apples to offset the sweetness of the maple syrup and brown sugar. Serve it as a side dish or even a dessert.
- 5 medium sweet potatoes (about 2-1/2 pounds), peeled
- 4 large apples, peeled
- 7 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
- 6 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons cold butter
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Cut sweet potatoes and apples into 1/4-in. slices. Place sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; set aside.
- In a large skillet, saute apples in 2 tablespoons syrup and 2 tablespoons butter for 4-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Layer over sweet potatoes; sprinkle with pecans.
- In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, orange peel, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Melt remaining butter; whisk in orange juice and remaining syrup. Stir into cornstarch mixture until well blended. Pour over pecans.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in pecans. Sprinkle over the casserole. Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes longer or until bubbly. Yield: 8-10 servings.

Learn how to stop premature ejaculation forever with these easy-to-follow techniques. You don't have to take any pills, apply weird creams or use an erection band. All you have to do is follow these proven methods to get results.
Keep reading to understand your problem and how to solve it!
Premature ejaculation is an embarrassing condition that affects many men. Premature ejaculation is a condition where a man, during sexual intercourse or stimulation, reaches a climax very quickly – usually in less than a minute. The climax almost always occurs before the man's partner has reached their climax which results in feelings of dissatisfaction for the partner.
Did you know that between 20 and 40% of all men suffer from some form of premature ejaculation problems? Most men are too ashamed to do discuss the issue with anyone and, therefore, never get any help in figuring out how to stop premature ejaculation. Fortunately, the internet allows men to discreetly find solutions for their ejaculation issues.
I will outline some of the causes of premature ejaculation and methods that will teach you how overcome this issue.
How to Stop Premature Ejaculation: The Causes
Stress: Not only is stress bad for your heart, your waistline and your energy level, stress is also a cause of premature ejaculation. Regardless of the cause (job, family, love life, etc), stress has a terrible impact on your body. It increases your blood pressure, causes your adrenaline to rush and can increase your arousal to an abnormal level which can lead to premature ejaculation. If you want to learn how to stop premature ejaculation, you need to first learn how to control your stress level.
Learn How to Stop Premature Ejaculation Today!
Masturbating Improperly: This is awkward but true. If you masturbate yourself to climax too quickly, you are training your body to perform the same way during sex. You need to relax and work on prolonging masturbation so that you can last longer during sex.
Also, masturbating too often can cause increase your likelihood of ejaculating prematurely. It isn't healthy to masturbate several times a day regardless of how it feels. Masturbating that frequently trains your body for fast action and, therefore, premature ejaculation.
Fortunately for you, this is a fairly easy issue to overcome in your quest to become a stallion.
High emotional levels: Yes, we all know makeup sex and sex after fighting feels good but, oftentimes, attempting to have sex when you are at an emotional high due to anger or other factor can cause you to lose control of your ejaculation too quickly. If you are in a situation where you are about to have sex after a fight, take some deep breaths and try to relax. This will help you calm down and increase your chance of having longer intercourse.
Stop Premature Ejaculation Tonight with these Free Tips
How to Stop Premature Ejaculation: The Solutions
There are several options available for you:
1. You can go to your doctor, discuss it with him/her and possibly be prescribed with medicine. Whether or not the medicine works depends on the medicine prescribed, the actual problem causing the premature ejaculation and the person to whom the premature ejaculation is occurring. This method of treatment can take some time to begin and isn't always effective. In addition to that, you're putting drugs into your body that may or may not work.
2. There are creams and ointments that are designed to numb your penis. These creams cause your penis to lose sensitivity which can prolong the amount of time between the start of intercourse and ejaculation. These can be effective but they aren't without drawbacks.
First off, you have to consider the awkwardness of the moment when you have to tell your partner, "excuse me, but I need to put some cream on my penis so that I don't prematurely ejaculate." That doesn't sound like a conversation I ever want to have.
Secondly, in addition to numbing YOUR genitals, you can also numb your PARTNER'S genitals. It could cause a huge problem if both of you lose sensitivity.
Thirdly, with the decreased sensitivity in your penis, you run the risk of losing the stimulation required to maintain an erection. Now you've just replaced premature ejaculation with impotence. That's a losing situation.
3. You can rewire your sexual response naturally. This is a solution that focuses on the root of the problem and employs techniques to help you overcome the problem. It is the safest and most successful solution over the long term. Using these proven techniques, you can retrain your mind and body to respond in a more controlled manner to the stimulus of sex. The results may not be immediate but, once achieved, they are permanent!
So, how do you retrain your body? It isn't as hard as it sounds.
How to Stop Premature Ejaculation: Understanding Male Arousal
The first thing you need to do is understand the 4 stages of male arousal and how your body responds.
The first stage of arousal is when you begin to get an erection. This is where the juices start flowing and you're feeling good.
The second stage of arousal occurs when your penis becomes fully erect and you are ready to have sex.
The third stage occurs when you have begun stimulation and your erection becomes fuller. This is the part right before climax. Your penis glands expand and the sperm is getting ready.
The fourth stage is ejaculation. This occurs when you can finally take the pleasure no more and lose control of your ejaculatory muscles.
If you want to extend the duration of sex that you have, you need to extend each of these stages as long as you can. People that have a problem with premature ejaculation can go from stage 1 to stage 4 in a matter of seconds. Those that have learned how to control the length of these stages have the ability to make sex last for a very, very long time. These people KNOW how to stop premature ejaculation.
The trick to this is learning how to prolong stage 2 for as long as possible. Once you've hit stage 3, there's almost no turning back.
Here is a secret on how to prolong stage 2 and your sex life: Concentrate on pleasuring your partner. If you can take your mind off of you and concentrate on how she's feeling, you can dramatically increase the amount of time you spend having sex.
By changing your positioning, extending foreplay and extending your plateau, you can improve your sex life overnight.

Space for Roads, electricity, water, sewage, parks, hospitals and schools etc. has been allotted with proper planning. Popularity of this township will increase more in the days to come.
In the days to come, popularity of this township will increase more. Those deficiency of Rajnagar Extension have been removed which were felt in the colonies been developed till date. It is a private township but responsibility to develop it in a well planned and well arranged manner is being carried out by GDA. The township is being focused not only for residential but also for its complete infrastructure development. Usually, such types of balanced planning are not seen at least in Private Township. By virtue of these features, Rajnagar will remain the first choice of people for a long time.
- IT hubs and Golf course are proposed at Rajnagar extension

A mother says the effects of bullying lead to her son's death.
Sadly we are seeing this happen time and time again in our community, the latest suicide just a few days ago.
In March, Luke Nugent committed suicide. His parents, Jessica and Mike, are still grieving his death. They say their family was like a tripod, with three legs, and without Luke it's a challenge to balance every day.
"Every time we get into the car, didn't matter if we were going to Stones Corner a mile away or all the way to Utah to visit the in-laws, we were singing and that boy could sing," says Jessica.
At 14 years old he was full of life and his parents were hopeful for his future.
"We wanted Luke to live a life where his actions would be the judgement," Jessica says. "Respect and mobility, all your basic good morals but especially we're all just human beings."
Luke came out on Facebook as being bisexual in April 2012. His mother says because of that he was bullied and harassed.
"I think it took him a long time to decide whether or not it was something he shared, but once he did I don't think he anticipated the response he received," Jessica says.
Jessica says she's been told by Luke's friends that he was harassed about his sexuality at school and after the bell rang.
"I think that the vast majority took place on the bus," she says. "I have to be careful because some of these other kids are children, but the regular use of derogatory language I can't repeat, I just can't unless someone holds me down and makes me. I just don't say those words, I wish no one would because I think he was a little shocked. It was derogatory terms used for homosexual or bisexual people."
Jessica says she contacted Carl Junction Schools about her son being bullied. According to police reports Luke's principal, Scott Sawyer, investigated her claims and rode Luke's bus to keep an eye on students.
In a sheriff's report Sawyer said "It was more like it was more of the upper class men giving under classmen a hard time, rather than singling out anyone and bullying them."
"Missouri doesn't require us to provide transportation, we do provide it as a service for our community and our parents so when we put a bus driver on the front of the bus with her or his back turned, their responsibility is to pick up those children and get them to school in a safe manner and take them home in a safe manner," says Tracie Skaggs, Public Relations for Carl Junction Schools.
According to Luke's mother the name calling didn't end, but it didn't stop Luke from being himself.
"It struck him as very matter of fact, I believe that he thought everyone else would think it was very matter of fact," Jessica says.
On March 15 Luke Nugent rode home for the last time on the bus. No one will say for sure if Luke was bullied on that ride home but the next day he was gone.
"My husband and I were going to run some errands," Jessica says. "Luke was still sleeping. I was going to tell him we were going to go or ask him if he wanted to go with us. I just knocked on his door, he didn't answer. I thought he was still sleeping and I found him. After I found Luke I don't remember a whole lot, just terror and screaming and hysteric. My husband took me and I waited outside with the neighbors until police arrived."
It's a nightmare she says she will never wake up from.
A mistake Luke made that can't be reversed.
"It's a fatal mistake, he was 14 years old, not equipped to make a decision that would end his life. He was just a child and that's a fatal mistake. He should be with us right now."
The sheriff's investigation after Luke's death shows Jessica Nugent mentioned school bus bullying to officers, but, his father never mentioned bullying or a recent breakup as a possible cause.
CORRECTION: We initially reported Luke's father mentioned to police that a recent break up with a girlfriend may have been a cause, however, we've since learned Luke's father told police a break up was not to blame for his death.
Luke's mom is determined bullying caused her son to take his life. Now she's speaking out to try and keep other teens from making that fatal mistake.
Jessica created LukeNugentMemorial.com (on Facebook) in her son's honor and hopes Carl Junction Schools recognize the school has a bullying problem, and change the way they respond.
"I wake up because I have no choice, but I go ahead and get out of bed because I bet there's a mother out there that thinks 'my child is not going to committee suicide but should I get involved anyway?' - yeah, do it," Jessica says.
The district stands behind their policies and anti-bullying programs already in place.
"What else could have been done - I just don't know - there's a lot of speculation about what could have been done," says Skaggs. "I just hope they will find the courage to stand up, speak up and everyone else who hears it will take the right action and do everything they can to stand up and protect our children, and that's what I hope and I think that's the goal of the district - that something wonderful could happen in Luke's memory."
"I want him to be remembered for his sense of humor, his thirst of knowledge, and his absolute passion for standing up for the little guy," Jessica says. "If all human beings have a little more of those three qualities, we would be a lot closer to a bully free world."
We asked to interview both Carl Junction Principal Scott Sawyer and Superintendent Phil Cook. Both declined our request.
Officials say there are people to turn to if you want help. A suicide help line is available at 1-800-247-0661. If you don't want to call you can send a text to the Ozark Center Hotline at 85130.

It's a cliche to write "championships aren't won in March, but they can be lost then." Bad writing tool, aside, there is some truth to this. Last year's Galaxy is, of course, an exception and, to some extent, slow starts by the Sounders in years that have included US Open Cups and playoff berths are good illustrations that say panic is not on order.
I do think think anyone who is simply saying, at this point, that the team just needs to time to gel is missing some obvious flaws in our side's approach, though. And if not addressed soon, they could spell trouble.
This team differs from some of the other slump situations. Last year's Galaxy, for starters, was coming off winning the MLS Cup. Our Sounders side is coming off a year of oh-so-close. The disappointment in Torreon. The US Open Cup loss. The Galaxy series in the playoffs. (Seriously, tell me you're not still shaking your head at what could have been hosting the MLS Cup final in Seattle...). Bottom line, we not only have a lot of personnel changes on the field, but expectations moving into the season were, perhaps, higher than ever. The players know this. Is it affecting performance? I cannot begin to try to say, though the postgame quotes from Sandy, UT seem to imply the players know more is expected.
This team is also in a slump different from the 9-game winless streak last year. After all, that team started 7-1-1. It knew it could win. Between injuries and teams having plenty of tape on us in mideseason, that slump was more about a team making adjustments and finding ways to dictate play the way it had at the start of the year.
This year's team, plainly, is not dictating play.
Through six games across all competitions, the Sounders have scored five times. Sure, many shots have come close. But we can count on those most every game. That the Sounders are barely giving up more than a goal per game is lovely, but if someone had said they would not keep a clean sheet in any of their first six games, you'd have gladly made a wager against that, right? We have an attack problem.
At the top of the season, we likely all figured the Sounders would be scoring plenty and yielding very little. If you're not adjusting your expectations at this point, you should. It's clear that April is going to be a month of struggle... hopefully one where we struggle to find our feet and win those games, rather than one that simply compounds everyone's frustrations.
So how do we struggle to get wins... and then thrive through the rest of the season? And how do we fans not wind ourselves up too much as the team does so?
On the fans' side, we need to stop looking at the standings now. Let's just get it out there: we are 11 points off the conference-leading pace of Dallas (with only one game in hand at this point). If you want to see Seattle near the top of the standings, assuming reasonable consistency from the rest of the field, you're going to be waiting a while. If there is a lesson from the 2012 Galaxy, it's that the table just isn't relevant at this point. Taking points in matches is.
As for the team, I think a few things are on order:
1) Learn to cope with a press. I am tired of seeing our team pressed off the ball or, at least, into breaking attacking momentum and forcing bad passes. Period. This has been a problem for a while and, sure, I realize it's tough to beat a press. But until we show quick feet or passing to beat a press, teams are going to keep doing it to us. This is going to take speed. Zak has been the best, to my eyes, of putting the ball at his feet and running through a press. Folks have pointed out he is ending up double-teamed and out of options. Players helping the rush can alleviate this and that has absolutely been missing. At least a few times each game, I see Zak make a long run... and no other green shirts are around in the final third. But I digress... point is, our players have never coped well with a press. I'm tired of seeing the ball held up at midfield while players get on their horses behind the play. We need to be able to run or quickly pass.
2) Consider a formation change. Shalrie Joseph getting healthy may be the key to this, but the 4-4-2 doesn't seem to be working anymore. Not sure if this makes sense, but we almost bog ourselves down in midfield. I like the idea of some kind of 4-3-3 or even a 4-2-1-3. I could see a Zak-Oba-EJ front line, Evans teeing them up, with either Shalrie or Yedlin pinching up. At the least, that sort of formation would force the team to move the ball quickly upfield. Martinez can fit in there in Zak's spot or even in the Evans spot. Adjustments could be made game-to-game or within a game to add more speed or slow things down. You'll note I'm not talking about Rosales a lot here. I love the guy and I completely understand the importance of his locker room presence. What don't understand is why he suddenly seems less able to create momentum and chances. In fact, I feel what I see him doing most is hitting the ground. Mauro needs to help drive the attack or we need to evaluate his role on the team.
3) Let EJ be EJ. We've scored five goals and two are his. He has had many of our best chances, as well. I understand frustration if it seems like he is "giving up" on a play. I'm not in that camp. The man is paid to score goals and, frankly, he's not being put in a lot of positions to do so. You'd be frustrated, too. The guy wants to score goals. He wants to win. He knows he's now paired with someone that, if the team is executing, should be able to help him score more often. Sigi can handle his personality. If that means tossing EJ on the bench for some reason, he'll do it. I'm not concerned EJ is about to be the locker room cancer. This is a contract year for him, no?
4) Learn to love the low cross. The team needs to accept that, in a crowded box, we're not winning the aerial battles. We're just not. When it's EJ and a marker, sure. I like those chances. But our corner kick performance and our open play crosses are mostly DOA if they're high. Low crosses are no guarantee of success, but they present more opportunity for mayhem in the box. Bad clearances, odd bounces, all of that... instead of a header up and away from danger. Luck is something you can create, right? Low crosses might be the ticket to creating some luck.
I don't actually think, pitiful as the defense was at times last night, that the defense needs much help other than the attack scoring goals. If we were sitting 3-0-1 having won a bunch of games 2-1, we'd be sitting here going "geez, just think when the attack gets going... at least the defense is solid." The back line has absolutely made mistakes, but they can all be fixed. Gspurning is a beast. If we find a way to score twice each game, we'll see results. Heck, if we scored twice each game so far, we WOULD be 3-0-1. That's all those four items are about up there. How do we find a way to score twice every 90 mins? Right now, it seems like doing so is a struggle. Let's hope they fight through... and win.

Those 7:30 a.m. commutes are about to get a little brighter. Daylight Saving Time officially ends at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4.
Remember, you'll "fall back" by setting your clocks back one hour. Many electronic devices automatically adjust when Daylight Saving Time begins or ends.
When you change your clocks in the fall and spring, it's also a good time to change smoke detector batteries and check to make sure other devices are in working order.
The change to Pacific Standard Time will mean early morning walks can be added back to the daily routine and watching the sunset with a friend can set a romantic mood before dinner.
Arizona, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa do not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Daylight Saving Time begins again on March 10, 2013.

Bayern Munich's chances to win the Bundesliga have completely evaporated with their last two league results, so their staff and players will have tunnel vision on Real Madrid and the UEFA Champions League over the next two weeks. Their loss to Borussia Dortmund was simply the result of an average performance against an excellent team, but their draw over the weekend against Mainz probably had a lot more to do with them looking ahead to a bigger match.
The Bavarians will be hoping to catch Real Madrid in the same situation. They play Barcelona in El Clasico over the weekend at Camp Nou, and even if the players are completely focused on Bayern, Jose Mourinho and his coaching staff will have one eye on the weekend.
Bayern rested all of Franck Ribery, Mario Gomez, Luiz Gustavo and Phillip Lahm at the weekend and all should earn recalls to their starting XI. Toni Kroos is the biggest selection wildcard for Jupp Heynckes' side, as he can play in multiple positions and he's been a regular for most of the year, but he's looked vulnerable defensively in the team's double pivot and Müller appears to be first choice in the central attacking midfield role.
None of Karim Benzema, Angel di Maria or Xabi Alonso played on the weekend and all should start for Real Madrid. Mesut Özil played against Sporting Gijon and Kaka sat, but it's unclear who Mourinho will play against Bayern. Whoever rests between the two of them could potentially be in line for a start against Barcelona. Mourinho has a similar selection dilemma at left back, where there isn't much separating Marcelo and Fabio Coentrao.
Projected Bayern Munich Lineup (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; David Alaba, Holger Badstuber, Jerome Boateng, Phillip Lahm; Luiz Gustavo, Bastian Schweinsteiger; Franck Ribery, Thomas Müller, Arjen Robben; Mario Gomez
Projected Real Madrid Lineup (4-2-3-1): Iker Casillas; Marcelo, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Alvaro Arbeloa; Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira; Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Özil, Angel di Maria; Karim Benzema
Game Date/Time: Tuesday, April 17, 2:45 p.m. ET, 8:45 p.m. local
Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany
TV: FOX Soccer Channel (USA - English), FOX Deportes (USA - Spanish), Sportsnet regional networks (Canada), Sky Sports 2 (UK)

I am doubling this up due to the fact that I believe that the Missouri Tigers will end Pat Knight's tenure as Texas Tech Red Raiders coach and move on to face Texas A & M Aggies. Mizzou is more than capable of beating Tech. I know it in my Black and Old Gold heart! I also think that it will be WAY too late after the game ends on Wednesday for me to post anything of note before the game on Thursday.
As you all may know, Mizzou vs. TTU is not half bad. Mizzou has NEVER lost to Tech on a Neutral Court. In fact, within the borders of the great state of Missouri, TTU is 2-8 against the Tigers. I believe that these trends will continue. (They have)
NOW that leaves the Tigers with the thorn-in-the-backside Texas A&M Aggies. Mizzou has not beaten A&M ever under CMA. BUT the Tigers have NEVER lost to A&M on a Neutral Court either. One of these trends will continue in KC. And I think I know which way the Tiger Faithful will lean...

Best collaborations
3.1 Phillip Lim for Target
Fans of the contemporary designer's ability to blur the line between dressy and casual won't be disappointed by this set of budget-friendly clothing ($20–$300) and accessories ($20–$60) for both sexes. The 100-piece assortment features a dark, neutral palette punctuated by muted florals, faux-leather accents and nontraditional camo prints. Standouts include women's long-sleeved, floral-print blouses ($30) and mini satchels ($35) that resemble Lim's best-selling Pashli bags. Visit target.com.
- Target, locations throughout the city
- Available Sept 15
Isabel Marant pour H&M
The Parisian womenswear designer lends her edgy, bohemian aesthetic to the Swedish chain through this limited-edition collection, inspired by her eponymous line. While the prospect of being able to nab Marant's trendsetting wedge sneakers for a fraction of the usual cost is exciting enough, the partnership also marks her debut foray into men's clothing. Details are scant, but a first look released via H&M's Twitter account revealed a printed slouchy dress and fringed booties with conical heels, in Marant's signature neutral hues. Visit hm.com.
- H&M, locations throughout the city
- Available Nov 14
Jason Wu for Lancôme
Although both parties have crossed over into the beauty and fashion worlds—Wu created a five-piece polish line for CND in 2011, while Lancôme has collaborated with designers L'Wren Scott and Lanvin's Alber Elbaz—this partnership stretches beyond a single limited-edition collection. The 15-piece assortment of makeup for eyes, lips and nails is just the first in a series of joint releases, and includes shimmery five-color eye-shadow palettes ($45), cream eye-shadow pots ($25), richly pigmented lipsticks ($26), high-gloss lacquers ($15), a navy mascara ($27), a precision-tip liquid liner ($30) and a dual-end shadow-and-liner brush ($33). Grab the Color Design compact in 403 Violet Streak to re-create the bold purple cat-eye look that was featured at Wu's fall/winter 2013 runway show. Visit bergdorfgoodman.com.
- Bergdorf Goodman, 754 Fifth Ave, (at 58th St)
- Available Sept 1
Revlon by Marchesa
The beauty brand's global artistic director, Gucci Westman, was behind the makeup looks at Marchesa's recent bridal and ready-to-wear fashion shows, so it's no surprise that the two companies are taking their relationship one step further with this three-part collab. Nail art is the focus of the first collection, which features eight styles of 3-D adhesive strips (18 decals, $10) inspired by designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig's opulent gowns. Visit revlon.com.
- Available in October
Best new store opening
Rebecca Minkoff
Since launching her eponymous line in 2001, Rebecca Minkoff has quickly grown her brand from handbags to include jewlery, women's clothing, footwear, and—most recently—denim. Her rapidly expanding empire gets its first U.S. flagship in the 2,000-square-foot space that Kirna Zabete once called home. While details are still under wraps, a three-day pop-up for Minkoff's jeans gave shoppers a sneak peek at the store this past July—and we have our fingers crossed that the graffiti scribbled on the walls by guests such as Coco Rocha and Leandra Medine will remain part of the permanent decor.
- 96 Greene St between Prince and Spring Sts
- Opens fall 2013
Best new spa opening
Lush Spa
Although the cruelty-free beauty brand already has an NYC presence with five retail shops, the opening of this space marks Lush's first spa in North America. The ground floor serves as a boutique, while the second holds a 1,400-square-foot retreat. Every therapist undergoes three months of training, so you know you're in good hands when experiencing Validation essential-oil facials and Good Hour full-body deep tissue massages.

Who Should I Start? - Week 1
C.J. Spiller or Mikel Leshoure
Go to Who Should I Draft
C.J. Spiller (BUF)vs. Patriots
Sun, 9:00am ET
Mikel Leshoure (DET)vs. Vikings
Sun, 9:00am ET
|Staff Rankings
"The Bills are going to need Spiller to play a lot and be given the ball a lot to have anywhere close to a chance in this one."
|Kevin Roberts
Breaking Football
"Bills are starting a rookie undrafted QB so you know Spiller will get his."
|Taylor Smith
NFL Soup
"Spiller is finally established as "the guy" for the Bills, and he won't be splitting carries with the elderly Fred Jackson anymore. However, there's still a chance Jackson could vulture a few touchdowns."
"Leshoure showed some flashes when healthy last year, but now Reggie Bush has come to take over. But when they're down near the goal like, look for Leshoure."
Beast Dome
"Spiller is the new LeSean McCoy. The only problem is, he plays for the Bills who are led by Kevin Kolb. Ryan Fitzpatrick at least had a respectable arm, Kolb has to make quick throws as he is worried about getting crushed. As much as we all know C.J. can turn on the 70 Yard TD consistently, we also know the Bills are in for a very long season. Fred Jackson should be in the mix as well as he is one of the Captains on that team."
"Leshoure is not completely out of the picture with the signing of Reggie Bush. Leshoure will be the goal line and short yard RB for the Lions. Joique Bell is still a factor, but Leshoure should have him BEAT. Let us not forget that Reggie Bush is not 100% guaranteed to make it healthy all season long, give Leshoure a few weeks with RB#2 possibilities."
|Chet Gresham
The Fake Football
"Last season Spiller barely saw any touches against the Patriots, but did finish the two games against them with 23 touches for 169 yards. The good news this year is he should be in line for that many touches in a single game. I'd much prefer EJ Manuel at QB for Spiller's value though."
|Derek Lofland
Fantasy Football Maniax
"This game could become ugly with Jeff Tuel likely to start at quarterback, but Spiller is their big weapon on offense, he can be involved in the passing game if the score is out of hand and the Bills are not likely to have Tuel throw the ball 60 times. I think Spiller sees enough touches to have a big impact this week."
|Staff Rankings
Fantasy Football Freaks
"Tough matchup to start the season vs New England but I expect Spiller to keep things rolling from his solid 2012 season."
|Tozzi Brothers
Legion Report
"New Buffalo Head Coach - Doug Marrone ran the ball 40 times per game at Syracuse. Marrone is looking to carry that same offense into the tundra of Buffalo. If Spiller can manage to carry the entire load for a full season, look for around 300+ carries and 60 receptions. Again, if Spiller can remain healthy � we do not doubt that he could be a Top 3 RB for 2013."
|Raju Byfield
Win My Fantasy League
"Should be a ppg monster; can he stay healthy?"
"Should prove to be closer to 100% this year and may get more touches than many expect in Lions backfield"

CATEGORIES Casting, Deals, Movies, CinematicalHold up. No one told me about the adaptation of Jim Thompson's classic The Killer Inside Me. A true '50s noir, Thompson's book is a bite-your-nails tale about a Texas sheriff's deputy who is also the town murderer. He's calm and cool on the outside and a brutal killer on the inside. And yes, it's also a song by MC 900 FT Jesus.
I'm down with that, since the younger and less chinny Affleck proved his chops in Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse Ford by the Coward Robert Ford, although IMDb pro also lists him as the director of "Untitled Joaquin Phoenix Documentary," so we've got him to thank for that sh*tshow. Bill Pullman and awesomely creepy Elias Koteas (Crash) also star.
On the other hand, the rest of the cast is a uneven, and this particular adaptation has quite the long back story. Kate Hudson plays Lou's good-girl girlfriend Amy Stanton, while Jessica Alba is Joyce Lakeland, a prostitute who digs Lou's ugly side. And then there's Simon Baker, star of TV's "The Mentalist" and films like Sex and Death 101 and The Devil Wears Prada, Something New, Land of the Dead, and The Ring Two, as the small-town lawyer out to get Lou.
Another possible bad portent is that Marc Rocco was originally going to direct, and then Winterbottom replaced him. Dominic Sena was reported to be on board to direct in 2002, but then Andrew Dominik wrote a script for it in 2003 and was going to direct until Tom Cruise (?!) took a pass on the film. (Wow, Tom Cruise as a sociopath and misogynist Texan killer? The mind reels.)
I'm growing suspicious but still, the other adaptations of Jim Thompson tales, like After Dark, My Sweet and The Grifters were excellent, so maybe something cool will come of this after all. I hope so, because I do love me some '50s noir.

PEARL, MS (WLBT) - Two Pearl residents are being called heroes tonight after saving their neighbors' lives.
A fire broke out around 8:30 Sunday night at 140 Patton Drive in Pearl. An elderly man and woman were trapped in their home.
Jerry Shields was just a few feet from his driveway when it happened.
"I saw flames coming out by the door. I immediately ran up to the door and asked if anybody was home," said Shields. "A woman screamed her husband was in the back, and someone needed to come in there and do something about it."
Without thinking, Jerry ran into the burning structure. He felt his way through the heat and dark plumes, his lungs filling with smoke with every breath.
"It was like tear gas in your eyes. It was like breathing through a wet wash cloth you couldn't breathe at all," said Shields.
The heroes broke several windows trying to get some of the smoke out of the house. That's when help arrived.
Firefighters say every second counts when it comes to fires. In this case, the quick thinking of two men may have saved two lives.
"There's no thinking about it. I just did what anybody would have did, just go on in there," said Shields.
