Few court cases captured the public imagination in recent memory quite like the O.J. Simpson trial. An American football hero, part-time movie star and color commentator, a whole different side to his public persona came through when he was charged with murdering his ex-wife. And when the not guilty verdict reverberated throughout the nation, it hardly put an end to the story. Some folks said it was an example of the justice system's failings, others pointed the finger to the ineffectual prosecution, while others declared that Simpson was innocent all along. And now the waters get muddier with "My Brother the Serial Killer," which is arriving on screens and heated up by the news that its titular subject is linked to the slaying of Nicole Brown Simpson. Does it let O.J. off the hook? Not exactly, but it also doesn't make much sense either.
Directed by David Monaghan (who previously showed interested in the topic with the doc "Murder Hotel: The Story of America's First Serial Killer"), the film details the story of Glen Rogers, a man now sitting on death row, who has been convicted of five murders, is suspected of dozens more, and claims himself to have killed more than 70 times. Rather than talk with the authorities who investigated his various cases, experts in the field or really, anyone who could look at the story with a certain distance, 'My Brother' is told through the eyes of his older brother, Clay Rogers. And it's a fundamental mistake by Monaghan because the film gets lost in an odd balancing act of trying to remain objective, while Clay essentially offers up any number of reasons as to why his brother turned out the way he did, in a bid for a bit of sympathy for a man who ruthlessly butchered (mostly) women. So what are those explanations?
Clay has no shortage of answers: Glen was the next child born after his parents tried to get his mother's tubes tied (a judge wouldn't allow it as her health was in danger); a tarot card reading promised a dark future (seriously); he was physically abused by his father; he was sexually abused while in juvenile detention; his mother rejected him; and he didn't have the right tattoos in order to ward off evil spirits or bad thoughts (again, seriously). There is no doubt Glen had a truly awful upbringing, but spending time on why he might have done it, versus what he actually did, sidelines the movie from time to time, particularly as it strains to reach a substantive 90 minutes. But more intriguing is how quasi-complicit Clay and his sister Sue are in allowing Glen's behaviour to go on as long as it did without calling authorities.
At one point during 'My Brother,' Clay shares an anecdote about the time he and Glen were hitting the road on a mini-crime spree, and one night, he arrives at their motel to find their room in shambles, his brother covered in blood. Does he call the cops? Nope. Even after Glen boasts of having killed before, Clay just orders him to clean up and they get out of there. Another time, Glen tells Clay he has a body in his car. Even later, Glen calls Sue to tell her he's just killed two women. On none of these occassions do the siblings either call the cops, vaguely offering up some kind of moral quandary about turning in their brother. Really? We understand that the bond between siblings is strong, particularly in Southern families, but the line can be drawn at multiple murders right?
In any event, when Clay later reveals that Glen called him out of the blue from California to boast he was partying with Nicole Simpson and that he was planning on her "taking her down," once again he stays silent. Clay continued to stay quiet all through the subsequent trial of O.J. However, a prisoner letter from an inmate to California prosecutors, claiming that Glen that confessed the murder to him prompted the wheels to start turning. And? Well, the theory goes like this: Simpson hired Glen to rob his ex-wife Nicole of some expensive earrings and half-seriously or seriously added, "You may have to kill the bitch." So, Glen went to commit the robbery, arriving in a white Ford Bronco (a witness noticed a vehicle of that description), was interrupted by the arrival of Nicole and Ron Goldman, killed them both and took off. Moreover, a second footprint was found at the scene, one that didn't belong to O.J. Simpson. And, the method of killing seemed conistent with Glen's usual modus operandi. But there are enough holes to drive a truck through.
First off, it's presented during 'My Brother' that Glen's focus on killing mostly women largely had to do with his own bitter feelings toward his mother, for not protecting him from the abuse of his father as a child. It's noted that the women he often took up with looked like his mother (Nicole doesn't) and one expert speculates he was essentially killing his mother over and over again. Second, it's quickly established that Glen was savvy enough to know how to dispose of bodies, cross state lines and manipulate the system to stay out of trouble. Everything about the Brown/Goldman slaying -- it takes place out doors, it was somewhat premeditated -- doesn't seem to fit the profile of Glen, who usually had some kind of relationship with his victims (rather than just a passing aquaintance), with the slayings usually fueled by a sense of betrayal. Moreover, the theory presumes that O.J. was someone who knew Glen well enough that he could entrust him with this robbery scheme, when there's nothing to really put them together at all aside from the fact Glen did some work in his house once. In fact, one prosecutor suggests it was actually Faye Resnick who knew Glen more closely, not Nicole. And that's not to mention there is zero forensic evidence putting Glen at the scene.
But wrapped up in the veneer of sensationalized, tabloid crime reporting, we suppose it's the tawdriness factor that makes 'My Brother' compelling, but it politely ignores real avenues of discussion to keep the central theory standing. No one seems to want to acknowledge the fact that Glen (and sociopaths in general) likes to boast, that his claim of 70 kills could be a tall tale meant to impress or intimidate, and even his comments about hanging out with Nicole Simpson could have been a stretch to the truth. And again, Monaghan doesn't push Clay hard enough to question his own involvement and failings to stop his brother sooner, even after it becomes clear he's somewhat aware of what his sibling is doing. But perhaps most galling is that the director allows the superstitious Clay a woe-is-me moment, as he sobs that had things been different, he might have been killing alongside his brother. But where are the tears for the victims and their families?
There is no doubt that Glen Rogers is an evil person who has done some horrific things. And maybe he found his way into the orbit of Nicole and O.J. Simpson. But the casual stitching together of largely circumstantial evidence in order to propose a not-quite-halfway-plausible alternate theory to the killings never really comes together. Had Monaghan chosen to truly investigate these claims, putting the family narrative aside, he might have found a way to present this proposal in a clear headed way that asked serious questions about how the entire case was handled. But 'My Brother' isn't that movie. Instead it seems happy enough to play in the sandbox of possibility, coupled with the high of being attached to a celebrity crime story, without ever really taking seriously what effect the posits it throws around has on the victims, their families or the accused.

So, have the L.A. police commented on how they managed to overlook a serial killer, with a record, working in the household, whether or not he did this terrible thing, his name not even coming up raises a lot of questions? Or did it just stay within the prosecutor's office, avoiding all kinds of doubt? I am certain no official will give this film a second look. I saw the show and it raise's extraordinary questions regarding the silence concerning someone so evil and so near.

After watching this documentary, and remembering how the evidence in the O.J. trial was tampered with, not to mention the racist Det. Mark Furman's role in the investigation, I think the jury got it right, there was a rush to judgment. I wonder how long it's gonna take for the L.A. District Attorney's Office to open up an investigation into Glen Rogers. They (the L.A. District Attorney's Office) owe it to the victims and their families to get it right, even if that means clearing O.J. Simpson's name in the Court of Caucasian opinion!
Roger | November 22, 2012 12:02 AM
The new theory according to this latest documentary is there was a conspiracy between Glenn Rogers and O.P. to murder Nicole. Two sets of bloody shoe prints at the scene, a golden angel pin of Nicole's given to Glenn Rogers mother are new evidence to this conspiracy. Glenn Rogers worked in Nicole's apartment, knew Faye Resnick who visited the darker side of crime world. Plus, just the plain fact that Rogers was living in the area and everywhere Rogers went dead women showed up make for a plausable theory.

just finished watching the show and it looks like it was another one of those ' steal my stuff back ' gone bad. hire some one else to get your stuff back by any means and be nearby to watch how it goes down. its a must see.

IA with Sam. I enjoyed the documentary. Whether you want to say it wasn't believable, or you weren't convinced of it's truth... I found it to be compelling television. It's not a trial, and therefore much more is able to enter into the equation than would be allowed in a court room drama.
"But the casual stitching together of largely circumstantial evidence in order to propose a not-quite-halfway-plausible alternate theory to the killings never really comes together. Had Monaghan chosen to truly investigate these claims, putting the family narrative aside, he might have found a way to present this proposal in a clear headed way that asked serious questions about how the entire case was handled.

I guess it depends on the family. I found this documentary to be pretty brave, and presented enough proof to warrant discussion. This was their story about their brother. I appreciate them not trying to sell anything to hard core. It's pretty clear when they're presenting their opinion, and when they're recounting the past. A-

O.J. Simpson's oldest son Jason killed Nicole and Ron. Glen Rogers being abused through childhood and juvenile hall may explain a whole lot about his state of mind.
sam | November 21, 2012 3:20 PM
i'm not defending OJ but if Glen's story checks out, he'd have killed Nicole and Ron because he was caught, right? they came in while he was there to rob the house. so no premeditation. that's just my guess and why not fitting his usual m.o. doesn't fit in this situation.
sorry. moving on. :)

It's Love I'm After (1937)
Directed by Archie Mayo, Casey Robinson (Captain Blood (1935)) adapted this silly Maurice Hanlin story about two stage stars who are romantically involved yet never seem to get married; they've failed to make it almost a dozen times! The couple is played by Leslie Howard and Bette Davis. Things get complicated when a young woman's (Olivia de Havilland) infatuation with Howard threatens her engagement to another man, Henry (Patric Knowles). Henry engages Howard's character to act terribly in front of de Havilland's so that she'll give up her fantasy and return to him. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Henry takes Howard to her father's (George Barbier) home, where she lives, and no matter how badly Howard behaves, her "love" for him grows. In fact, Davis's character must be asked to intervene, causing her to realize what she's got in Howard. Eric Blore plays Howard's valet as humorously as always. Bonita Granville (These Three (1936)), Spring Byington (You Can't Take it With You (1938)), and Veda Ann Borg also appear.

Hanson eyeing return on Tuesday | braves.com: News
"I didn't throw them all at 90 percent, but some of them I threw 90 percent," Hanson said. "I let them go a little bit. I wasn't holding back or babying it. I was testing it out. If I'm going to pitch next Tuesday, I've got to kind of let it go right now and see how it feels."

Medlen is throwing off mound again | Atlanta Braves
"It's the last hurdle for everybody who goes through this," Medlen said. "You know your arm is strong. You know it's sturdy and ready to go, it's just the mental part. It's that whole release of being able to let it go. I can feel myself, once I'm trying to throw it as hard as I can, my body is like 'oh,' and I guide it through.
Kimbrel leaves impression on Bautista | braves.com: News
"Believe me, that guy has some electric stuff," Bautista said Wednesday, prior to the Braves' 5-1 win. "[He's] deceptive. I felt like I couldn't even see his arm. His arm action is quick. It felt like the ball came out of a wall, like a cannon. It was from there to boom, right on top of you. It's nasty, that's all I can say about that guy."
Brian McCann: A great player who's an even better teammate | Mark Bradley
There are great players who aren't necessarily good teammates. (Barry Bonds comes to mind.) Brian McCann is a great player who's an even better teammate.

July 1st, 2013 marks a grim day for youth across the nation.
From acting on climate, to ending Big Oil's tax breaks, and to helping students, Congress can't seem to act when anything other than big corporate profits are on the line. Now, students have been anxiously watching legislators gamble with their future as they discuss the student loan crisis. We have cheered on bills reducing our loan interest rates, and we have fought against bills seeking to not only keep the new increased rate, but also increase the rate even further.
The cost of higher education is steep and most youth need some sort of financial assistance to afford this investment in their future. However, due to a lack of action in Congress, the interest rates on federally subsidized student loans doubled on July 1 from 3.4% to 6.8%. This change affects 7 million students in the United States and will increase the cost of student loans by $7 billion. That is a $990 increase in debt per student, per loan. This decision doesn't just make education more expensive, but makes it almost impossible for students to afford their education.
The purpose of a student loan is to make college more affordable so that students can prepare for the future and gain the education they need to compete in the job market. However, it seems that student loans are serving a different purpose now. The student loan programs are expected to generate a total of $50 billion in revenue for the federal government this year.
The average college graduate with loans currently has $26,600 in student debt. Increasing the rate discourages students from getting the college education they need, and will hurt the economy in the future, as youth will have limited or no career options.
Congressional Plans to keep the student interest rates low were blocked by legislators who wanted charge students more for their loans as a way to lower the deficit.
However, as most student loans are issued in August and September, Congress can still pass a retroactive fix! We need to tell legislators that they cannot bury students in debt, and that they need to invest in the future by investing in the education of youth today!

ALBANY, GA (WALB) –Communication is essential in a doctor and patient relationship. If it is not accurate, information may be misunderstood.
Dr.Henry Ejere says communication is the key to establishing a successful doctor patient relationship. But he was born in and attended Medical school in Nigeria and he says sometimes patients have trouble understanding his accent...especially elderly patients.
"I try to speak slowly and louder, that way I end up passing my message across to them," said Dr. Ejere.
He says a doctor patient relationship shouldn't be hampered by barriers in the spoken language.
"When we go to medical school and we come here and do residency we are taught the medicine, no one teaches you how to speak the language," said Dr. Ejere.
A little over a year ago he heard about an accent modification program available at Phoebe to any professional wanting to work on their pronunciation.
"It's for clients who are already proficient English speakers its really just working on pronunciation so their English can be more clearly understood," said Nicole Mays, Speech Pathologist.
For weeks Dr. Ejere met with a speech pathologist and practiced words he had difficulty pronouncing. After completing the program he says he's noticed a difference when he interacts with patients. He says he will continuing working and practicing every day to break down any patient doctor barriers there may be.
This is a voluntary program because professionals say you need to be motivated and willing to work on your pronunciation in your spare time.Because if you aren't, you aren't going to see as much of a change.

Hemet might be the last place you'd expect to find a gourmet food store.
Since she opened Pasta at Large six years ago, Sofia Okolowicz has watched a succession of 13 owners come and go among three neighboring food stores.
"I'm struggling like everyone else," admits Okolowicz, 64. "It's Hemet. It's not easy."
But the 4-11 dynamo has hung onto her 1,200-square-foot business at 140 N. Harvard St., a gourmet store unique to the city.
"It supports itself, but it's not profitable," she said recently, while preparing a batch of quince pie filling.
Even so, Okolowicz has survived through constant reinvention of her homemade, international take-out fare, ranging from empanadas to Polish pierogi to classic Russian borscht.
She wholesales her pasta, which she makes from scratch (baked with cheese she grinds herself) and home-grown fruits and vegetables from her 20-acre farm in the Temecula Valley to some of the local wineries and Old Town stores.
A skilled woodworker, Okolowicz dries herbs on a rack she built herself and hopes to eventually make and sell her own honey and olive oil.
"She's one of the community's hidden assets, a real gem," said weekly customer Diane Mitchell, 62. She can cook anything. And it's nice to buy one serving."
Read more about this unusual store in Hemet in the business section of The Press-Enterprise on Tues. Dec. 11.

Penguins lose Game 7 to Montreal 5-2.
Sidney Crosby set them on a downward spiral to start the game (literally within the first few seconds) with a penalty, and Smurf #1 Brian Gionta scored within 32 seconds.
Marc-Andre Fleury had a terrible night by allowing 4 goals on just 13 shots.
A lot of the credit for the win also has to go to Jaroslav Halak with a .949 save average. Gionta had a big game with 2 goals and Smurf #2 Michael Cammalleri added another 1.
The Penguins had a chance to get back in the game on a 4-3 powerplay at the start of the third period, but Halak stopped Crosby on what looked like a sure goal.
Evgeni "Neaderthal" Malkin and Crosby only had two goals the entire series. Cammalleri has had 12 total goals in the playoffs so far.
I really doubt the Habs will win the cup this year, but they've already had a great run beating the Capitals, and the Penguins.
Editor's Note: Short, to the point, great recap. Not enough snark, so I added the Smurf cracks... - Mike

Editorial – Join spring cleanup Saturday morning
April 22, 2014
Issaquah is a naturally beautiful place, but it could be cleaner. Litter — beer cans, gum wrappers — are often found along streets and sidewalks amid the landscaping.
It takes a community to care about keeping Issaquah beautiful, which is why volunteers begin litter patrol in the second annual Spring Clean-up this Saturday morning.
The event is hosted by the Downtown Issaquah Association and Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, but more than 200 volunteers from clubs, organizations and businesses, as well as individuals, have signed up to tackle a segment of town and give it a clean sweep. Girl Scouts will plant flowers to add some spring color to key locations.
Girl Scouts is looking for new members
September 10, 2013

The meeting schedule is: Sept. 19 at Newcastle Elementary; Sept. 23 at Issaquah Valley Elementary; Sept. 25 at Maple Hills Elementary; and Sept. 26 at Sunset Elementary. An additional meeting will take place at Apollo Elementary, but a date and time haven't yet been selected.
Girl Scouts learn the art of being brave
March 12, 2013
What do Taylor Swift, Venus Williams and Sandra Day O'Connor have in common? All are wildly successful in their various fields and they donned Girl Scouts uniforms when they were young.
Girl Scouts, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, has had a tremendous impact on culture — particularly when it comes to helping girls find their voice, develop the confidence to pursue their goals and challenge themselves in ways that, even just a few decades ago, were still rather revolutionary, Stefanie Ellis, public relations director of Girl Scouts of Western Washington, said.
"We want girls to feel better about themselves and their future … to be motivated by the fact that women are truly changing the world," she said. "We want people to know, especially girls, that more than 80 percent of female senior executives and business owners were Girl Scouts, as well as two-thirds of the women in Congress and virtually every female astronaut."
Issaquah has a couple of famous former Girls Scouts as well, including Mayor Ava Frisinger.

King County bans unwanted door-to-door solicitation
October 25, 2011
Residents in rural and unincorporated King County gained a tool to discourage door-to-door solicitors due to a recent County Council decision.
If a resident posts a "No Soliciting" or "No Trespassing" sign on his or her property, then a commercial solicitor is prohibited from contacting the resident. Under the ordinance, violators face a $100 fine.
The regulation adopted by the council Oct. 3 applies to more than 300,000 residents in unincorporated areas.
Adventures abound for boys and girls in scouting groups
July 2, 2011
Despite decades of history in America, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts still endure narrow views of their efforts.
The girls are famous for their cookie sales, the boys for their camping trips. That sometimes plays against them.
"A common misconception is that all Girl Scouts do is sell cookies," said Julie Wendell, with the Girl Scouts of East King County. "The leadership opportunities, travel experiences and wonderful programs offered by Girl Scouts go way beyond selling cookies."
Similar troubles beset the boys.
"A misconception is that Boy Scouts is for suburban white kids. And we don't do programs for people of other ethnic backgrounds, and that all we do is tie knots and go camping," said Sharon Moulds, with the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America, which encompasses all of King County.

The spring and summer months bring a spike in the number of newborn kittens at local shelters and rescue groups, and that makes the special group of foster parents known as the Kitten Krewe even more crucial.
A litter of kittens who are too tiny to adopt, join the Eyewitness Morning News, and they bring with them Louisiana SPCA spokesperson Alicia Haefele, and foster parent Lynn Coatney.
If you'd like to adopt, the LA-SPCA's adoption hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm, and noon until 4 pm on Sunday. Donated items can be dropped off at 1700 Mardi Gras Boulevard in Algiers, from 9 am to 5 pm Mondays through Saturdays, or noon to 5 pm on Sunday. You can also donate online.

|Cops say they might have to flee the country
|Written by APB Staff
Two Manhattan Beach, California police officers, fired for their roles in an off-duty hit-and-run crash, are both seeking $10 million from the city in damages.
"This sustained attack, fueled by blind hatred, is clear-cut evidence: There is a conspiracy occurring at the highest levels of the Manhattan Beach local government to ensure that any chance of salvaging a respectable future for myself has been obliterated," the officers wrote.
"These acts of collusion amount to political corruption."
The claims hold City Manager Dave Carmany, the City Council and police command staff responsible for the chief's "malicious abuse of power."
Former chief Uyeda fired Thompson, Eccles and Officer Richard Hatten on last March 18 for their involvement in a Jan. 31, 2010, crash after leaving a local bar. The officers were riding in Hatten's Chevrolet Corvette at the time.
No one was seriously hurt, but Hatten drove away from the scene according to investigators. Hatten's damaged car was found a short time later parked outside a convenience store.
A fourth Manhattan Beach police officer, Jeff Goodrich, responded to the accident while on-duty. Sources told the Daily Breeze he did not file a police report after learning the Corvette belonged to Hatten.
Then chief Uyeda immediately placed the four men on paid leave and requested that the Sheriff's Department conduct traffic and internal affairs investigations.
Eventually, a little more than a year later, Hatten was charged with leaving the scene of a collision.
A judge placed him on three years probation and ordered him to perform 45 days of roadwork after he pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor. In their claims, which are precursors to lawsuits, Thompson and Eccles said the council and Carmany allowed Uyeda to suspend them while carrying out "well-known personal animosity."
"As a respected veteran officer, I was maliciously isolated, without cause, from my daily routine, peer group, lifestyle, and peace of mind, while Uyeda was allowed to publicly, and unscrupulously, suggest that I had violated law and department policies when he had no substantiating evidence to verify his personal theory," each officer wrote.
Thompson, 31 and Eccles, 36, said Uyeda compared them to bin Laden and al-Qaida members during daily discussions, placing them and their families in jeopardy, subject to threats, assaults and "possibly death."
"My patriotism has been undermined, unjustly, causing me to be in fear of unprovoked acts of aggression and in fear of government scrutiny in the name of national security," each man wrote. "I do not feel safe or comfortable any longer residing in the community where I have spent my whole life. I have been forced to consider fleeing the country to escape this continuous bombardment of negative categorization inflicted upon me by Uyeda and the current regime of Manhattan Beach City officials."
Uyeda retired last May. He issued a short statement, declining to comment while the "issue is still pending in the court."
"I have full confidence in the legal process to consider all the facts, all the reports (not just the criminal investigation that the D.A. is restricted to) and render a decision that has truly considered the veracity of all of the statements made and will be in the best interest for the residents of Manhattan Beach and the integrity of the law enforcement profession," Uyeda said.

NEW YORK (Associated Press) – Designer Ralph Lauren's new Olympic opening ceremony uniform has lots of stars and stripes. It has lots of red, white and blue. And most importantly, it has a Made in America label.
The new look features a knit patchwork cardigan emblazoned with big stars, an American flag, and the Olympic rings. Underneath, there's a cream cotton turtleneck, white athletic pants, and black leather boots. There's also a wool "reindeer hat"-- with braided tassels -- also in red, white and blue, of course.
The most important feature, though, is its provenance -- the United States. During the 2012 London games, Lauren's uniforms were a point of controversy when it was revealed that much of them were made overseas, especially in China. Ralph Lauren Corp. got the message.
"A dynamic mix of patriotic references in a classic color palette of red, white and navy defines the Ralph Lauren 2014 Team USA Opening ceremony uniform, which is proudly Made in America," the company said in a statement Thursday.

I was wondering how many of you get your tickets to Ram games. Obviously there are people at this site that dont attend any games but I imgaine those that frequent the site go to games when they can. For those that aren't season ticket holders, I imagine you get tickets in one of 4 ways.
1 - Directly from the Rams
2 - Friends
3- Scalpers
4 - Stubhub/NFL ticket exchange
If everyone is getting good deals from their friends or scalpers there isn't anything to do. If you are buying them from the Rams or Stubhub/ Ticket Exchange maybe there is a way to have fans of this site buy/sell tickets from each other at face and save money as season ticket holders pay less and get around the ticket master fees. I read a certain baseball blog (of a team you more than likely hate) and people post tickets per homestand when they have extras or need tickets to certain games. Of course if the Steelers are visiting few people would sell those at face and nobody is buying a preseason game for face but there are probably 5 or so games per year where it might make sense. I go to several games per year and do fine selling on stubhub but I always figure it is a fan of the road team buying my seats. With the team seemingly on the rise there might be more interest in tickets this season.
Please comment if you think this is/is not workable and if you would potentially participate.

Hello Colts fans, I am Saintschiefsfan from Arrowhead Pride. I just wanted to congratulate you on your victory against the Chiefs. What's that you say? How could you have won without even playing yet? Well, if you have seen our team play this year, you wouldn't ask that question. We will give you an early Christmas present, that being, a win that will secure you a wild card playoff birth, your're welcome.
And while we are all in the giving mood, I have a something I want from you guys. Good, old fashioned information. As you may or may not know, our GM Scott Pioli is on the hot seat. As you also may or may not know, Bill Polian is a name that gets mentioned as a replacement. I for one , think it is a lateral move. Polian' last 3 drafts haven't seemed to produce much. I am against the idea all together, but it is a debate that is raging on AP.
I am working on a post on this very topic. I ask you guys, how was Polian here? Did you like his drafts? How are the players he drafted developing? What is the deal with his son? How much power did he give his son? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated . Likewise, if you guys have any questions regarding the Chiefs, I would be more than happy to answer them. Thank you very much for your time. Wish you guys all the best in the future

For years, professional religion reporters have debated what to say when a source or newsmaker turns and asks: "Hey, reporter, what in the world do you believe?" A decade or so ago, the Religion Newswriters Association even held a workshop on the topic, allowing Godbeat veterans to talk shop on this prickly subject.
Some journalists refuse to answer, saying it is nobody's business. This often creates tension.
A few journallists open up and, in the name of candor, pretty much spill the works. This often creates tensions.
Others try to find some middle ground or make a decision about what to say on a case-by-case basis. This often creates tension.
You may have noticed a pattern. Whatever a religion writers says in this situation is going to tick off somebody. The religion beat takes a journalist into territory that is both highly personal and very, very complicated in terms of history, doctrine, facts, titles, lingo, statistics and who knows what all. I like to tell people that it's like covering politics and opera at the same time.
When I joined the Rocky Mountain News staff, I discussed this problem with my editor. He approved the following answer, which some journalist friends of mine jokingly called "Mattingly's Miranda." It goes like this: "Yes, I am an active churchman. I take my own faith very seriously and, because of that, I want to do the best job that I can to understand your faith and get the facts right."
In the classroom, I often put it this way: Report unto others as you would want them to report unto you.
I bring this up because of a new article by the RNA's Dr. Debra Mason, which critiques the work done by Godbeat critique sites such as GetReligion and The Revealer. She isn't surprised that people — in newsrooms and pews — care deeply about this subject. The blogosphere is a perfect place to carry on the discussion. At one point, her critique gets rather personal.
Although a member of the press, Mattingly has never been bashful about expressing what he sees as problems with U.S. secular religion coverage. The header on one of his websites includes the quote, "The press . . . just doesn't get religion," from a March 6, 2004[,] article by William Schneider, appearing in the Los Angeles Times.
Mattingly's comfort as a columnist makes blogosphere a perfect place for him. So he and former Christianity Today Associate Editor Douglas LeBlanc have teamed up . . . Together they deliver almost daily — to your e-mail inbox if you want — a critique about where religion is done poorly, or missed opportunities for bringing in the faith angle. Less often, Mattingly's comments include praise, and a few RNAers will find their names among these comments.
Getreligion.org is not a nonpartisan critique of religion news, however. Mattingly's strong personal faith is infused throughout, even if subtly.
So far, so good. This is a commentary blog and I don't think Doug and I have hidden the fact that we have a ancient, even premodern, approach to matters of faith. At the same time, our goal is to promote professional, balanced, accurate religion coverage — period. Thus, it was interesting to note Mason's very next sentence.
A radically different tone and technique can be found on The Revealer. This is perhaps the best-funded religion-and-media blog around — The Pew Charitable Trusts gave about $1 million to New York University to run it.
Pew hired Jeff Sharlet, co-author of the book Killing the Buddha, who with his co-author Peter Manseau also created the online magazine of the same name . . . The Revealer describes itself as "a daily review of religion in the news and the news about religion. Nonsectarian, nonpartisan, no punches pulled."
That makes it sound as if our site has a worldview and Jeff's does not. Personally, I think we all have our angels and demons. The issue is whether we are pro-journalism. I wrote Sharlet to ask his opinion and this is what he said:
Yes, I'd definitely say that my own approach to faith is infused in my work for The Revealer, mainly because I don't believe anyone ever really brackets their basic worldview without becoming so boring as to be unreadable. The question then becomes: What is my approach to faith? I'm not sure. My faith: "Radical democratic-empathetic-immersion, with a bias for brilliance, whether it's that of Aquinas Martin Luther or Muhammad or just a great cantor, and a fascination with fundamentalism, properly defined, and religious violence, and a distaste for those who'd try to control speech."
At this point, the key difference is that The Revealer contains the work of more writers and, thus, is more complex. I suggested that Jeff's site is postmodern and our's is premodern, but he didn't buy that. The key, he said is that:
We're both press reviews. I think the literary form that most captures what The Revealer and Get Religion are is 19th century letter writing, plus links.
I can say "Amen" to that. I also appreciate the fact that Mason's article included the short document that lays out the goals of The Revealer — its "mission statement," to use the current corporate and church jargon. The premise of the blog is this:
1. Belief matters, whether or not you believe. Politics, pop culture, high art, NASCAR — everything in this world is infused with concerns about the next. As journalists, as scholars, and as ordinary folks, we cannot afford to ignore the role of religious belief in shaping our lives.
2. The press all too frequently fails to acknowledge religion, categorizing it as either innocuous spirituality or dangerous fanaticism, when more often it's both and in between and just plain other.
3. We deserve and need better coverage of religion. Sharper thinking. Deeper history. Thicker description. Basic theology. Real storytelling.
You know what? I can say "Amen" to that, too. Every word of it. Truth is, there are premodern believers, modern believers and postmodern believers. Hopefully, the goal of the Godbeat blogosphere is to urge journalists to do a solid job of covering what these believers are up to. So three partisan cheers (or three "Amens," even) for accurate quotes, balanced coverage of hot issues and lots and lots of free speech.

Old Dominion University Gallery opens a new exhibition of sculpture by Ben Schachter, Jason Engelhardt and Heather Jones with a reception at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 16.
The exhibition, which continues through Aug. 21, and the reception are free and open to the public.
The title of the show, "Trope," the figure of speech describing the nonliteral meaning of a word or words, reflects Schachter, Engelhardt and Jones' metaphorical use of familiar materials in unfamiliar applications.
Schachter, a teacher at Adelphi University in Garden City, N.Y., uses electrical hardware to form household furniture and other objects. Jones, adjunct professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, creates glass sculpture that appears as flasks, stills and laboratory equipment displayed in mid-experiment. Minnesota State University teacher Jason Engelhardt uses chalkboards, children's clothing and classroom objects to create a world other than the pedagogical.
The University Gallery, located at 350 W. 21st., Norfolk, is open noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; noon to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday; and 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information call 683-2355 or go to http://www.odu.edu/al/art/gallery/.

M83 Concludes Their Serialized Sci-Fi Music Video Trilogy with 'Wait'
The French electronic band M83 has been working with the directorial team Fleur & Manu to produce a trilogy of sci-fi music videos following the adventures of a group of children with X-Men-type powers. We've already discussed the first two videos, for their songs "Midnight City" and "Reunion," and now we have the third video for the song "Wait" — all off the album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. Serialized videos are nothing new, but the style and scope is nothing short of spectacular. Click through to check out all three.
Here is Anthony Gonzalez from the band on the project:
I love composing music and making music with pictures in my head, it's really what's driving me. Cinema is the biggest influence for me – even bigger than music itself, so this album is built as a soundtrack, as an imaginary film. This is what we tried to convey with this trilogy. When I first talked with Fleur and Manu about this video project it was pretty obvious we wanted the same results. I think they were the perfect directors to achieve this…
M83 – "Midnight City"
M83 – "Reunion"
M83 – "Wait"
The videos are clearly calling upon a number of science fiction influences, but it's impressive to finally see all three of them together as a complete story. They were originally conceived in this way, so it would surely have felt a bit incomplete without the final act, though all three could certainly stand on their own based on the familiarity of the genre. While the third video is a bit more out there than the other two, it's a fitting end to a series with an incredible vision.
Fleur & Manu from Paris-based production house Division directed all three, and were supported in part by The Creators Project with "Wait."
It probably helps being an M83 fan, but what do you think of the videos? Do you think the story worked over the course of all three? What did you think about the science fiction influences? Did that help you stay engaged with the story — even when it got a bit more experimental?
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Lorenzo S. on 12.7.12 @ 1:49AM
Great work. Love the videos and music.
Lorenzo S. on 12.7.12 @ 2:01AM
Yes, all three videos work seamlessly together. I believe 'Wait' is the best of the all. The perfect ending to a spectacular trilogy.
Joe Marine on 12.7.12 @ 2:03AM
Yeah, I think it's the perfect ending as well. It definitely has the most going on and probably rewards repeated viewings more than the others.
Arthur on 02.7.13 @ 11:46PM
Great videos, I just want to believe those kids lived….
Tulio on 12.7.12 @ 5:42AM

mike on 12.7.12 @ 11:13AM
I've loved M83 since 2004, before they even had an inkling of "pop" to them, and I must say these videos are visually stunning and the perfect accompaniment to their music. I wanna see some VFX breakdowns NOW!
tillkee on 12.8.12 @ 6:51AM
Did not like any of the music video's, nothing extraordinair about them.
Mark on 12.11.12 @ 6:24AM
Is it just me or was that just a Pink Floyd song playing at a modified speed? Nice money shot though, with The Man I mean the kid falling to Earth.
Jean R on 12.13.12 @ 3:43PM
The videos are ok, there are a few decent fx shots but nothing that is not done ad infinitum in LA by the hundreds of fx houses here. The concepts are old news including the 2001 tribute. The shots were well done but as music videos are they the best use of that time? Music videos are often promotional and marketing vehicles, while short films are well, short films. Is this the best example of either? The Lana Del Rey stuff is off the hook brilliant, even if you hate her, the films are brilliant and if you love her you will watch it repeatedly. I have no interest in seeing these again so to me if I had funded music videos I'd be unhappy and I had I funded the short film I'd also be unhappy as it could have used sound design. I like M83.
For many artists, a music video is another opportunity to create. Not just a marketing gimmick to sell music.
It's pretty clear that M83 was going for something more expressive than promotional.
Why do things need to fit into a specific mold for you to enjoy it?Would you have enjoyed it more if it was purely promotional and used all the cliches of a regular music video?(I.E. half naked ladies, cars, and lens flares) Why does everything have to be brand new and never done before? So what the concepts have all been seen before? I think half of the point of this was that it was a mashup of many many different works.
I enjoyed it thoroughly, and personally found it pretty inspiring.
jon p on 12.13.12 @ 5:17PM
vague beautiful pseudo symbolic fluff… i'm sure it's great if you're a fan of the band which is the point, now, isn't it.
Regardless of how many vfx houses can do the same work, whether you like the music or not, etc. this was brilliant work. Most ideas with vfx, music, and art in general has been done before but that doesn't make it bad. I was entertained and captivated the whole time I watched these. In today's world, with the internet, that says alot. Even if I may not be moved to watch them again (which I will) the fact that I even chose to watch them at all and watched them all the way through is rare. How many of you half watch most music videos or videos in general? I usually will watch the first minute, get bored, skip ahead, and if nothing interesting is happening when I skip ahead, I'll stop watching. So kudos to these guys.
Rigby on 12.15.12 @ 8:55PM
Concepts were cool. High quality imagery and effects. One critique, though. When the car is chasing them in "Reunion" the headlight flare layer is in front of the running children. This would be impossible even within a "suspended disbelief" world. It should have been one layer behind them to respect the parallax.
Dina Strange on 03.17.14 @ 9:47AM
I absolutely loved all three videos. What a beautiful and inspiring work. Thank you, M83 for a beautiful message.

MMPI to redesign 16th floor of Chicago's Merchandise Mart
April 19, 2013-- Casual Living,
Part of The Mart's commitment to the industry includes the redesign of the 16th floor to complement the 15th floor's new look. Since early 2012, more than 65 residential and outdoor furnishings tenants were relocated into new spaces. The redesign has improved the shopping experience by creating a more concentrated, easily navigable showcase of the top names in outdoor furnishings for buyers during the annual International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market and the trade that shop on a daily basis.
The Merchandise Mart has been home to the International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market for more than 35 years. While MMPI's current contract with the International Casual Furnishings Association (ICFA) for the annual Casual Market runs through September 2017, a significant number of permanent tenants have extended their leases beyond 2017.
Today, 55% of the Mart is dedicated to showroom tenants including 45 casual showrooms totaling more than 256,000 square feet on floors 15 and 16. In addition, there are many other tenants offering outdoor furnishings resources on the 14th floor. Overall, from 2003 through 2012, MMPI increased its permanent casual showroom space by approximately 43%.
In addition to expanding and improving The Mart's permanent showroom offerings, marketing efforts have aggressively increased during both the annual Casual Market and on a day-to-day basis over the years in order to bring more revenue streams to permanent tenants year round. Additionally, MMPI supports the ICFA on many of its initiatives including the financial support of the Apollo Awards, coordination of the Design Excellence Awards and assistance with its membership outreach.
"With the unwavering support from Vornado, MMPI remains dedicated to its Casual industry and all of our permanent tenants," said John H. Brennen III, executive vice president, MMPI. "We anticipate a hugely successful Casual Market in September and look forward to showing buyers the major improvements to the showrooms since 2012."
When it comes to casual furniture, accessories and outdoor living trends, The 2013 International Casual Furniture & Accessories Market is the epicenter of exciting innovation in the industry. With more than 350,000 square feet of exhibit space, showcasing casual indoor and outdoor furniture, umbrellas, grills, accessories and more, the Casual Market at Chicago's Merchandise Mart is the one-stop shop for buyers' outdoor living needs. Buyers can register now for the Casual Market, Sept. 17-20, at www.casualmarket.com.

Converged Networking in the Data CenterPeter P. Waskiewicz Jr. (email@example.com)
The networking world in Linux has undergone some significant changes in the past two years. With the expansion of multiqueue networking, coupled with the growing abundance of multi-core computers with 10 Gigabit ethernet, the concept of efficiently converging different network flows becomes a real possibility.
This paper presents the concepts behind network convergence. Using the IEEE 802.1Qaz Priority Grouping and Data Center Bridging concepts to group multiple traffic flows, this paper will demonstrate how different types of traffic, such as storage and LAN traffic, can efficiently coexist on the same physical connection. With the support of multi-core systems and MSI-X, these different traffic flows can achieve latency and throughput comparable to the same traffic types' specialized adapters.

Much more often than not fatigue is really a dilemma that starts with a poorly functioning colon, in which case it can be far better to seek selection medicine for your successful treatment. However, before you begin your choice treatments you should consult your physician anyway to rule out the possibilities of any other medical troubles being the trigger of one's symptoms. A poorly functioning thyroid can be considered a favorite cause of fatigue.

To say the truth, these terms almost always go together and are aimed to bring health and cleanse the human body of toxins.
Advantages of Colon Cleanse
Colon cleanse is used to get rid of toxins that accumulate in human body. The foods we eat these days cause different toxins to build up in the body that affect the behavior and formation of tissues and cells. And it leads to different diseases over a period of time. But, not only foods provoke toxin accumulation in human body.

And thus even if your diet is healthy and well-balanced, you still have to consider colon cleanse.
Prolong Your Life by Cleansing Your Colon
The colon is significant thanks to its specific purpose. It is a section of a large intestine that expands from the cecum to the rectum. People should understand the effect that poor drinking and eating habits may have on the colon. Since the colon manages the waist production and disposal in the human body, the process of colon cleanse has to be a part of everyone's living regimen.

There are a few basic changes you can make to help get your acid reflux under control without medication and we will be discussing them here.

While everyone is awaiting the national championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame, we still have a doozy of a bowl game prior to the big one.
Somehow, the Cotton Bowl Classic was left off the BCS slate when the big fat rich big wigs assembled and put together their corrupt scheme. I'm not sure why and don't really have time to investigate (someone in the know, please feel free to inform the rest of us!), but I have fond memories of the Cotton Bowl.
The fondest would be Cade McNown's comeback victory against the current participant, Texas A&M, in 1998 (after the 1997 season). That team was probably the best of the last 25 years at UCLA, with a solid defense and a great offense. UCLA also won with Troy Aikman in 1989 against Arkansas. So UCLA is 2-0 in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
But since the advent of the BCS era, the Cotton Bowl Classic is now between the second choice team of the Big-12 and the third or fourth choice team of the SEC. This is Oklahoma's second trip to this bowl, while Texas A&M has already been there twelve times.
Well wouldn't you know it, this year that means Oklahoma plays a familiar foe in Texas A&M who just joined the SEC. And really, either of these teams would have made for a much more interesting Orange Bowl than Northern Illinois, but that makes the Cotton Bowl Classic a must-see.
Obviously, the big attraction will be Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, who is as exciting as any player in college football today. New coach Kevin Sumlin has brought a lot of excitement to the program but it should also be noted that his predecessor Mike Sherman did a nice job recruiting.
But it will also be interesting to see how Oklahoma does. While the Sooners are aiming for their fourth straight bowl win, somehow there are a few Sooner fans who are dissatisfied with Bob Stoops and think he should have won the national championship game a lot more. The guy has been to 8 BCS bowl games in 14 seasons, though he is 3-5, but he has won a national championship and appeared in the championship game 4 times! He's 1-3 in those games, though one of those losses was vacated since Southern Cal beat them. As for me, I think he runs a great program and would be more than happy if UCLA could emulate their record under Stoops.
Finally, it will also be interesting to see what a college football game looks like in Cowboy Stadium, where UCLA takes on home team Texas in a "neutral" site game in 2014 (Jerry Jones is still laughing at the con he pulled on Chianti Dan).
The game is at 8PM EST and will be televised on Fox. This is your open thread, so fire away!

Health bosses to decide maternity future
Preparations are underway for an emergency board meeting of East Sussex
Healthcare NHS Trust.
They will put forward proposals to close the maternity department at Eastbourne District Hospital and replace it with a midwife-led unit.
They say they can't recruit enough specialist doctors and nurses so plan to temporarily close the department in 6-8 weeks. Campaigners fear that the closure will become permanent.

The New York Jets can go back to basking in their Week 1 victory over the Bills, as sources are saying that Darrelle Revis did not suffer a concussion.
I've been told that Darrelle Revis is fine and did not suffer a concussion after getting kicked in head by Bart Scott. Good news for #NYJ— Manish Mehta(@MMehtaNYDN) September 9, 2012
Revis was accidentally kicked in the helmet by teammate Bart Scott as Revis was attempting to tackle Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller in the fourth quarter. He remained on the field holding his helmet and was removed from the game by trainers and taken to the locker room.
Revis finished the game with five tackles and an interception.
Revis lingered around the locker room following the game but did not address members of the media.

Improve the Soil
Proper soil preparation is essential to successful growing. Park City and the surrounding areas have a rocky, alkaline soil that is low in phosphorous and organic matter. When planting new beds or adding to the existing landscape you can greatly improve the clay soil by incorporating ample amounts of compost and/or soil pep.
Water Feature Gallery
Add Bark Around Your Plants
Covering the soil with bark keeps the soil shaded, plus it minimizes the drying effects of wind. Mulch also minimizes water use by capturing water and preventing run off. A 3" thick layer of mulch will also help with weed control.
Irrigate Efficiently
Try and use a Drip Irrigation System
The proper soil preparation and mulching after planting will be important to the overall watering success. Depending on the water and sun requirement of the plants the landscape can be divided into zones that can be watered correctly. A drip irrigation system is well-suited for trees, shrubs and perennials. The system can deliver water slowly and directly to the root zone, minimizing water evaporation or runoff. Park City Nursery's Sprinkler Barn can provide you with more information about a sprinkler design or retrofitting your system.

News: 50 Cent On Fallen G-Unit Member, "N*ggas Is Lucky You Just Don't Kill 'Em"
Thursday, May 31, 2012 11:21PM
G-Unit leader 50 Cent is letting it known there are no plans to hook back up with former group member Young Buck, publicly blasting his financial woes and scolding past decisions.
In Fif's perspective, Buck Marley has no one to blame but himself for finding himself in legal problems these days.
"Where I'm from, we got a code of conduct that we follow. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If somebody wants to make you a success and comfortable in every way, down to the point that I actually pay your taxes for you after you -- and you still disrespectful and say the kind of sh*t you saying? N*ggas is lucky you don't just kill 'em. N*ggas shot me for $5,000... Feel f*ckin' sorry for somebody that has no opportunities -- don't feel sorry for the person who did something stupid." (AHH)
This week, Buck made headlines after reviewing 50's new The Lost Tape mixtape.
In a video that was posted on YouTube on Tuesday (May 29), Buck is seen bopping his head and smoking to 50's "Murder One" off his recently-released, DJ Drama-backed mixtape, The Lost Tape. "Where Banks at? Which one is Banks on? Nowhere?" Buck asks in the beginning of the clip, perhaps sarcastically after 50 recently shared that he hasn't spoke to Banks in nine months. From there, though, Buck seems to enjoy the sound of 'Fif's "Murder One" track, even complimenting 50's artist, Kidd Kidd. After listening to 50, Buck begins to groove, listening to a track of his own. (XXL Mag)
Although Buck is no longer with 50's team, he recently said his Unit issues are a thing of the past.
"It's been a long time since I've had any kind of conversation with [Lloyd] Banks, [Tony] Yayo, 50 [Cent], anybody really through that camp over that way," Buck told DJ Whoo Kid in an interview. "It's been even a long time since I heard your voice to even have a conversation and we having it on air, live for the people. ... At the end of the day, we've made history and I would never not consider not being a chance for us to make history again if ever given the opportunity or chance. My thing is, at the end of the day, we only get older out here in this situation, in life, in itself and the older I became, the wiser I became at the same time." (Shade 45)
G-Unit reunion plans would likely not happen in the near future as the Nashville rapper is slated to get sentenced to jail time this summer.
Rapper Young Buck agreed a plea deal with prosecutors to serve 18 months in jail after an IRS raid on his Nashville home in 2010. The "Taking Hits" rapper -- real name David Darnell Brown -- agreed to plead guilty to possessing firearms and ammunition as a convicted felon, TMZ reported. According to legal documents, IRS agents recovered firearms at his home when they went to repossess belongings over an unpaid $300,000 tax debt. They found a .40 caliber Glock 22, along with bullets. Young Buck was convicted of assault with a deadly weapon after he stabbed someone at the Vibe Awards in 2004. As a result, he was prohibited from possessing any firearms. The rapper will be formally sentenced July 13. (My Fox)

Congress is taking a stab at tax fairness.
At least, where states are concerned. If you're looking for meaningful reform of the federal tax code, that's going to have to wait.
But the Senate has just voted for a bill that will allow states to collect sales tax on most Internet purchases. The measure goes on to the House, where the outcome is uncertain.
There is, however, no doubt that businesses with online operations tend to benefit greatly from current rules. Traditional brick-and-mortar retail establishments have to pay sales taxes, which range as high as 9.25 percent in some parts of the country.
Right now, states can require collections of sales taxes for online activities if the business has a physical presence in a given state. But most online sales operate under the radar screen of taxing bodies.
How much money is involved? The U.S. Commerce Department calculates last year's Internet sales in the United States at $226 billion, a 16 percent increase from the prior year. Other estimates say states lost $23 billion in revenue because these activities were beyond their taxing reach.
So, it's relatively easy to argue the current situation is unfair, not only to brick-and-mortar businesses, but to all taxpayers. If states cannot collect billions in sales taxes, it's safe to assume they're getting money from other sources.
Yet saying this is the easy part. The hard part is establishing a system that not only allows states to collect these sales taxes, but also does it in a way that won't discourage online commerce.
If this law passes, affected businesses would have to collect — and pay — sales taxes to all states that have these levies. What's more, in some states, individual municipalities have separate sales taxes. It's one thing for a business to collect sales taxes and pay them to the local taxing entity. But if you are required to do so for taxing bodies across the country, it becomes a real burden.

A Ladson woman is accused of stealing several guns and 2,500 rounds of ammunition from a friend's home in downtown.The Charleston Police Department arrested 31-year-old Jessica Lynn Metzer on Thursday and charged her with grand larceny. On Monday, police responded to a home on Peele Place in reference to a theft. The victim said a houseguest had stolen several items from him over the weekend. According to the victim, it all started when Metzer asked to stay with him until she found a stable home. The victim said after returning one weekend, he found a letter by Metzer which stated that she was leaving the house because of some papers she found in his office about her. An incident report states when the victim entered his office he discovered four guns and more than 2,500 rounds of ammunition were missing. Police say also missing were several pieces of clothing, an iPod, ammo magazines and a scope. The victim told police he contacted Metzer who said she did not have any of the items. A police report states the victim then contacted mutual friends he had with Metzer who said the suspect was staying at a motel in Summerville. Authorities were then called to the motel where Metzer was located and arrested.

Well how you doing Pack faithful I've come over the last couple of years with this piece as a way for our two teams to chat about the game, talk smack an pretty much bathe in football awesomeness. I usually start talking about the Vikes, move on to what I know about the Pack, and then end up with a bit of smack talk and a score that invariably ticks me off.
So, the Vike's. Yep I have nothing. This team is the worst I've seen it in all my years of watching. Frazier is currently trying to give us fond memories of Les Steckle and our quarterback position looks like AA trying to find a spokes woman between Lindsy Lohan, Brittany spears and Keith Richards. Luckily we have Adrian Peterson who our illustrious coaching staff has run a total of 23 times in the last two games. This is a dumpster fire, stacked on a tire fire laid on the ground work of dying kittens here people and I don't think it's going to get any better the rest of this year. Positives.. None. Hopes, that we can at least put points on the board and Ponder lasts at least the first half.
Now to Green Bay, do you have any of your original starters still playing? Luckily I'm pretty sure most high school teams can lay one on the Vike's so this should sort of be a bye week and you can rest your starters.. When is Mathews coming back? Also, do you guys think you'll end up winning the division this year? With the Bears losing Cutler that will make things easier, but Reggie Bush has seriously reawoken the Lions.
Smack talk, yeah...
