I stripped let them inspect me even let them comb and oil my natural hair. We made it a learning experiences to dispel myths we held about each other.

If I haven't heard all of these and more! I have the opposite problem with hair. I have wash-n-wear hair which confuses white folks. "Like, where did your hair come from?" My head. "How come your hair isn't blaaack?" Actually, it's brown.
Franchesca Ramsey, I hope, is headed for a very bright future. Too funny indeed.
Elizabeth | January 4, 2012 11:52 PM
As a white girl, my only defensive comment is about when she turned down the rap music. If I'm in a car with a white friend and she turns on country music, I would tell her to turn it down, so that might be more of a "taste in music" thing than a racist thing. As for everything else, I hope I've never been that bad, but I can't swear that I haven't!

Motivated by school pride and inspired by the acts of one beloved teacher, both sides of the debate packed the board of education meeting Tuesday night.
It was a civil yet passionate dialogue that played out during the public input portion of the June 7 meeting in the high school library that included current residents, students and alumni of the Malverne school district.
Marc Loftus, a 1987 graduate of Malverne High School, was the first to speak out about the petition to rename his alma mater after the late Elizabeth Carol Cherry, an alumnus who devoted over 30 years to teaching at the Maurice W. Downing (formerly the Linder Place) School.
"I'm here on behalf of a lot of alumni," said Loftus, who spent over an hour in the school's parking lot that evening selling T-shirts and buttons he made that read "Malverne High School - Then - Now - Always."
Loftus said he had reconnected with several graduates over the past three weeks, after learning that the board of education had voted on a petition to rename the school but then rescinded their motion during
During this time he established a petition that now includes over 800 signatures from alumni, parents and current residents, he explained, as some of these supporters who were in attendance applauded.
"I think it's safe to say that we'd all like to honor Mrs. Cherry...for her years of service to the school," Loftus said. "In discussing this issue with others, there has been no shortage of ideas in ways we might be able to honor Ms. Cherry with a nice tribute."
He suggested renaming parts of the buildings, planting a garden or starting a scholarship instead to avoid an "ugly debate."
Loftus acknowledged that he might not be able to win over all the proponents for renaming the school.
"Some may have a larger agenda, some may see the name change as a way to possibly disassociate the school from a past that they may think is controversial or uncomfortable," he said." None of those are the right reasons to change the name."
Joyce Berry, president of the Howard T. Herber PTA, also expressed her opposition toward the proposal, saying that the name change could be very costly since the district would need to replace stationary, signs, uniforms and other materials.
"[This] is money we don't have because we're laying off teachers," she said. "Let's put the money into the school, give it back to the teachers...why change something that isn't broken?"
Rener Reed, a Lakeview resident who first introduced the idea of renaming the school after Cherry, spoke to clear up a misconception about stripping the school of its Malverne title.
"This renaming would not replace the Malverne name, but embrace the spirit of dedication and devotion that Carol gave to our children," said Reed, as she read the statement she originally sent to the board in January.
In the letter, she proposed adding Cherry's name to Malverne High School, so it would be called the E. Carol Cherry Malverne High School.
"I never once said to get rid of Malverne, " she said. "It was not meant to stir up all of what has been stirred up in this district."
Reed said it was her hope that by honoring Cherry - a woman who went through the Malverne schools during a volatile time and came back to devote her teaching career to the district - in this way, the students would have a role model to look up to.
"This is our Martin Luther King, Jr., our Rosa Parks," she said.
It was school board member Gina Genti, who made the motion during last month's meeting to change the name, that swapped out "Malverne" for "Memorial," but the board decided to rescind the vote after being advised by legal counsel to consult their policies.
After further review, the board members learned that although the power rests with them to rename district buildings just as past officials had changed the name of Maurice W. Downing and Herber Middle School, they had had no formal policy or procedure in place to guide them on this matter.
Therefore, they went to work crafting one in advance of the meeting. The current draft of the six-page policy (see attached) went through a "first reading" Tuesday night and will need to go through a second, and possibly some revisions, before the board votes to adopt it.
Under this version of the policy, the power to rename district facilities still rests solely in the hands of the board, but they now must consider "community input in identifying a meaningful and appropriate name."
Under the policy's "Procedures" section, a petition with a minimum of 200 signatures is required for the board to consider a naming or renaming of a facility, which should identify "why the current facility name is obsolete or inappropriate."
It also mandates that the district notify the person or group who submitted the petition (or nomination) for the name change within 60 days of receiving it to advise them on whether or not the board will vote on conducting an open public discussion on the matter.
The board was patient with the packed crowd, allowing everyone who wished to speak the opportunity to approach the microphone.
Other proud alumni, including 1959 graduate Len Schroeder, shared their memories of their time spent in Malverne High School and pleaded that the board uphold the current name.
"Malverne has always been Malverne High School and should stay Malverne High School," he said, adding that his father even graduated from this school in 1921.
"I am now and will always be a very proud Malverne Mule, " said Ray Carter, Class of '94. "I think we should name something after [Cherry] but not the high school. It's much bigger than any one person, any one neighborhood or any one group."
Students, parents and some faculty in attendance who sported their own T-shirts indicating that they have been working without a contract, campaigned instead for the district to move on from the renaming issue and focus on more pressing matters.
"Changing the name will not change the academics," one Malverne student from Lynbook said. "I don't feel this should be the main focus. Teachers are getting laid off, some of our great teachers who mentor us and push us, and teachers are working without a contract and our main focus is changing the name of the high school."
One Downing parent even pointed out that the district has already paid tribute to Cherry by planting cherry tree in her honor to her on the school's property. (However, according to a faculty member, no dedication has taken place yet.)
"I personally don't care if the school is called 'school,'" said one mother who recently moved into the district and was contemplating sending her gifted 11-year-old son to the public schools. "I want to make sure the academics are the main focus of this school district before I bring my child here."
She posed the question to the board and community, "Should I send my child to this public school?"

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Wells Fargo and Company is eliminating another 332 jobs in the Twin Cities.
The San Francisco, California-based lender is cutting 1,865 jobs across the country. Wells Fargo confirmed Wednesday that it was notifying employees in the Twin Cities and "various other cities" but declined to be specific. The bank also wouldn't say which Twin Cities locations were affected.
The Star Tribune reports Wells Fargo has more than 20,000 employees in Minnesota. About 8,000 work in its mortgage operation that has offices around the Twin Cities, including a large campus in south Minneapolis.
Last month, Wells Fargo notified 161 people in the Twin Cities mortgage operation that their jobs would end within 60 days. That came after a recent bump in interest rates slowed consumer demand for refinancing.

Housemaster: Nicholas Beeby
Nicholas Beeby is the College's Director of Drama. He was Housemaster of Chevron, one of the College's day boys' houses between 2008 and 2013. Nicholas is married to Heather Beeby, the College's new Director of Communication and former Head of the Prep School. They have two daughters, one of whom left the College in July 2011 and is currently studying Drama at university in London. Their second daughter is in the Upper Sixth this year, with her father as her housemaster!
Nicholas' feelings about the culture of the house are similar to the ethos he promoted in Chevron. He is interested in the house turning out civilised young people who are equipped to thrive in the wider world and who have a clear sense of what it means to do the right thing.
Angela's three sons attended a local Independent School during which time Angela was a very active 'housewife'. Subsequently, she joined the IPC (Magazines) Division of Reed Business Information from which, some 9 years ago, she joined Hurstpierpoint College. Her husband Mike, now retired from the Stock Exchange, also works for the College.
St John's House sits in its own grounds yet is conveniently close to the centre of the campus. It is Hurst's Upper Sixth Form co-educational day and boarding House. Its structure, facilities and the light touch with which the House is managed ensure that it provides an environment best suited to students' academic, personal and social development in their final school year. Each pupil has a study bedroom and all are encouraged to undertake independent study in their own time not least as preparation for the less structured life they will experience later at university.
All study bedrooms have desk, bed and handbasin; girls and boys are housed in separate wings, each of which has its own laundry and social room. The centre of the House contains the communal TV room, computer room, conference/workroom and social centre with a bar and kitchen. Its facilities are outstanding and enable students to work together in an atmosphere similar to that found at University.
Inherent in the St John's concept is the principle that the students will manage their own community. There will be opportunities for them to arrange School functions both for themselves and the rest of the School, to foster links with the local community, organise charity events and establish a close working relationship with both Prep and Senior Schools. Life in St John's provides an exciting challenge at the crucial point in a student's school career whilst continuing to provide firm foundations for many aspects of their future life.
The primary focus for St John's students will, of course, be their academic studies and residents are greatly encouraged and assisted to organise themselves and enhance their independent learning skills. Academic seminars, discussion groups and the dissection of quality broadsheets are all encouraged. Learning styles, levels of motivation and details of personal organisation are individual but the common goal is working towards the achievement of their UCAS targets and, in this, students are supported and guided through a strong tutorial system.
The Upper Sixth are also encouraged to be active participants in the broader school life. As positive role models and often as elite performers academically, musically, dramatically and on the sports field, they are encouraged to coach, guide and inspire younger pupils; in short, for their own benefit and for the benefit of younger pupils, members of St John's are encouraged - where appropriate - to work with, and alongside, adult members of staff.
St John's also has a powerful social function. The year group is now fully integrated (although each student maintains a link with the school house of which they were formerly a member) and quickly establishes a group ethos and loyalty which develop into strong, sometimes lifelong, friendships. A St John's committee gives the residents an opportunity to express their views on matters of their choosing, whether relating to the House itself or to wider school issues. Various social functions punctuate and highlight the passage of the year culminating in the magnificent Leavers' Ball at the end of the Summer term. On a domestic level, pupils are encouraged to do their own washing as part of their preparation for the 'next step'.
It is our aim that by the end of the year, Hurst 'graduates' will face the world with confidence and maturity, having achieved grades that each individual once regarded as 'ambitious' and overall results that will enable every student to embark with confidence on the next stage of their chosen path through life.
It is always my ambition that the students at St John's have their best year at Hurst, work harder than they ever have before and, by the end of the year, are ready to leave; I think we ac hieved all those aims this year.
It was interesting to see the nerves with which some of the new students approached the House but it was pleasing to see supportive and positive new friendships becoming established so quickly, particularly at the Icebreaker disco. The students quickly settled in to the role as the leaders of the Hurst community: this was demonstrated by the excellent team of Prefects, the CCF officers, and the energy and dedication of our games players, musicians, actors and dancers. In the House music contest, the school charity day, the Christmas disco and many other occasions the Upper Sixth entered the wider life of the school with enthusiasm and enjoyment.
At St John's however the first priority is always academic work. Once the university offers started to roll in the students saw the scale of the challenge before them and settled down to quiet, industrious study. In the Summer Term the students' stamina and dedication was humbling to see as they helped and supported one another in study groups in their spare time. Once the exams were completed it came as a great disappointment to realise that this tremendous group of young people would now be leaving us, for pastures new.
My thanks go to the Prefects and the St John's committee, to a wonderful team of dedicated, experienced tutors and particularly to the priceless Angela Browne. It's been another great year at St John's.
Tim Leeper
I can honestly say I have never worked as hard as I did in St Johns. However, the stress and worry of university applications and exams was coupled with memories I will treasure forever and friendships that will last long after Hurst.
Life in St John's definitely confirms the phrase "school days are the best days of our life." Mr Leeper and Mrs Browne, the "parents", of the House immediately made me feel at home and are always on hand to help, support, guide, have a chat and make sure boarders are in bed at a somewhat reasonable time. They put every effort into ensuring St John's is your best year with regular social nights, discos, take-aways and barbeques. The social events highlight the close-knit community as social groups morph, friendships strengthen and the Hurst Spirit flourishes.
St John's is completely different to the other Houses, the previous years are left behind and you start with a clean slate. You are given more independence and freedom to make your own decisions, whilst enjoying many of the responsibilities and privileges that are reserved for the final year. The staff members in St John's have an unbreakable spirit and strive to make everyone in the House a better person.
My year group is an amazing bunch of people; so supportive and willing to get involved with all the challenges St John's provided whether that be dance, drama, art, music or sport. This test of teamwork, spirit, determination and perseverance, will endure in the new OJs. St John's has given us that and nurtured these qualities, which in the end are so much more important that the events that have occurred.
I have had the best time possible in St John's and am proud to call myself a Hurst pupil; I will never forget anyone here.
Carolyn Noorderhaven
The year at St John's has been an experience that shall not be easily forgotten. A year in which so many paths, heading in different directions, have been united by life-long friendships and experiences shared in such a short period of time. As a new student in the Lower Sixth, the friendships I made only covered a fraction of the year group but once united into one House I seemed to know everyone! The icebreaker disco at the beginning of the Upper Sixth year was an ideal way to get away from the pressures of the working environment momentarily and to have fun with new found friends.
Living in St John's introduced us to the lifestyle of university and prepared us for student life. We were living with others in 'halls of residence' style accommodation with communal kitchens. Managing time effectively and having a high level of maturity about our studies were attributes that St John's nurtured and brought out in each and every one of us. This created a great learning environment where we could revise together and to inspire one another to achieve more.
It has been hard to bring an era at Hurst to an end. It holds so many great memories and experiences that I have enjoyed with the friends around me. It seems impossible to thank the year group and the staff enough for providing the opportunities to achieve in so many aspects of life; from academic subjects, sports to business ventures like young enterprise. So many memories have come from these successes. I know that the person I am today and will be in the future has been shaped by my experiences and the memories will stay with me for a very long time.

LAS VEGAS -- Guided by a cemetery map, child advocate Donna Coleman searches for the plots between the headstones. The final resting place for the poor, the abandoned or the unidentified, buried at taxpayer expense in unmarked graves.
Among the list of some 100 mostly children's names are 21 adults with monikers like "Half Skull" Doe, John "Longbone" Doe and Skull "Cold Creek" Doe. Unidentified partial remains interred in the children's section of Woodlawn Cemetery.
Clark County Coroner Michael Murphy approved the burials in 2003 following the completion of a revised protocol for cold cases. Investigators reviewed the remains, some in storage for more than two decades, and when appropriate applied the latest science and technology. Those that still could not be named were laid to rest.
"That wasn't a decision that was easily made because in some respects, that means you may have done all you can do. In some respects, you may be looked at as we failed to identify -- we failed to do our job. I think what we have to look at is say, 'No, we've done our job to the best of our ability and now we have to be patient,'" said Murphy.
That patience may pay off sooner than expected. Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Justice awarded the office $400,000 to exhume and test some 50 missing persons cases. Forensic DNA testing of bones, not widely available in 2003, provides new hope for the identification of at least some of the remains buried at Woodlawn.
"We're going to identify some folks. I think there's an extremely high probability of that. I believe in that and if I didn't think that was possible, we wouldn't even try," said Murphy.
Murphy plans to begin early next year by prioritizing the cases with the most potential. More than 160 remain unsolved. "Ultimately the goal is to give them a name -- whatever name they were given by their family -- and return them," he said.
At the same time, Coleman plans to begin marking the plots of the children here -- the known, but unseen. It's a dual effort by two very different advocates to remember al those who might otherwise be forgotten.
"I don't know. It's just important that they don't die without any kind of recognition they were ever alive," she said.
Coleman has already collected more than $5,000 to purchase headstones for the unmarked children's graves at Woodlawn through the Children's Advocacy Alliance and other individuals in the community. She plans to mark them in January.
Murphy's office has already identified 34 missing persons through its website.

Tho most of these numbers I am throwing out are pipe dreams or "six pack induced ideas" (hat tip Blackbeard) they could happen..if those Double "T" elves deliver the mushroom lollipops as requested..
The esteemed Opposition's take on whats going to happen
Texas Tech Red Raiders stats href="/sports_data/schedule">Texas Tech Red Raiders roster http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/1027/p1
1. Michael Brewer throws for a shade under 5500 yards, 45 TDs and 9 picks in his first campaign as a starter, rushes for 297 yards and 8 TDs. He's sacked 7 times in 13 games. His back ups throw 7 TD's. Back up QB's and obliviously from today's discussion most expect Mr. Webb to fulfill this role in 2013.
2. The official Numbers at the wire for Tech 2012 season and its opponents was: SCORING Raiders = 487 Opp. = 413 Points Per Game; 37.5 points averaged per game our opponents averaged 31.8. Tech outstrips this by factor of 2 and drops points allowed per game to under 28 per outing.
The official sites cumulative and exhaustive statistics
3. Sadale Foster's rushing and run after catch efforts adds in 750 yards and 9 TD's, his specialty emerges as the shovel pass demon..gashing folks 2 or 3 times a game for 20 plus yards. Usually in 2nd and long situations. He handily cracks Big 12 2nd team with the Bowl Game production added in.
4. No Big 12 defensive coordinator figures out Jace Amaro so they just try to hold or trip or delay him .. his presence on the field is worth 3 penalties against our opponents good for nearly 80 yards a game. In fact the Red Zone Brewer to Jace strikes become so automatic our opponents start onside kicking in desperation by the 3rd period.
5. The Raider defensive front seven 2 deep is surprisingly effective against the Big12 O lines: Kerry Hyder garners 15 sacks, 4 x PBU's and 30 QB hurries. He picks up the Outland Trophy, First Team Big 12 and All American honors enroute to being a 2nd round draft choice to the Dolphins. Pete Robertson / Terrance Bullit / Dartwan Bush combine for 43.5 tackles for a loss(TFL's).
6. Monsignor Bruce Jones has 8 Interceptions and 17 PBU's, The Kick cover teams blocks 5 extra points, 2 x punts and 6 x FG's over the course of the season. They also knock 6 critical punt or kick returns loose and recover 3 of them
7. His wingman Tre Porter breaks up 11 passes and garners 2 interceptions both in the End Zone to erase scores.
8. Demetrius Campbell secures Big 12 New Comer of the year playing almost exclusively on passing downs and displaying a scary penchant for tipping passes i.e. PBU at the line of scrimmage. His team nickname is Tree Top Lover. When the season ends he has averaged 2.5 per game. Blake Dees and Will Smith combine for 140 tackles and 30 TFL's and 5 interceptions. The LB corps and defensive down linemen combine to allow the front 7 to strip the ball loose 44 times and Tech recovers 23 of them. Defense scoops and scores twice.
9. RBs combine for 2500 yards as a position group: Ind stats- Deandre Washington rushes for 590 yards has 35 catches out of the backfield and scores 6 TDs, Kenny Williams amasses 899 yards and 5 TDs'; Quinton White and Tyler Middleton add in rushes for 250 yards and 9 TD's combined. Tech matches 2012 aTm in speed of play calling and leads the Big 12 with 91.5 offensive plays averaged per game. Repetition and simplicity combined with QB freedom to check over matches every defense except OU and UT.
10. Pete Robertson is stunningly catastrophic for opposing QB's as he averages 1.15 sacks per game. WR Jordan Davis averages 29.5 yards per punt return. Good for 4th nationally. The Tech punt coverage team is able to limit returns to under 10 yards per kick for the 3 games played.
11. Kramer Fyfe belts 93 % of his kicks out the back of the end zone, Ryan Exrleben only punts 17 times in 13 games and Ryan Bustin kicks 89 extra points without a miss. He also kicks 7 FG's with 1 missed from 61 yards. out. Jakeem Grant score 5 TD's on kick returns. He averages 33 yards per kick return. Tech averages under 4 penalties per game for 40 yards subtracted per outing. Tech secures the Biletinikof Award with a 12 catch 3 TD effort versus Texas in Austin by Eric Ward: Over the course of the regular season Ward catches 105 passes and 17 of Brewers tosses for TD's, Amaro gets 85 receptions and 11 scores. Sean Corker & Jordan Davis emerge as the Raiders First Down machine the go to possession receivers in Kliffs scheme. 49 of their 63 catches are for First downs.
12. The dust settles: For those who are math challenged that's 89 scores by the offense, 5 by Special Teams and 2 by the defense. With FG's that's 644 points scored by your Red Raiders.
13. It includes 36 take aways (26 fumble recoveries and 10 interceptions) and with only 17 punts or 1.075 per game indicating a very low 3 and out or fourth down conversion failure rate. Tech finally gets into plus territory on the possession erased ledger i.e. taking scoring opportunities from opponents by getting the ball back without allowing an opponent's kick off. (read score) That type of effort would put Tech on pace to be the 3rd most prolific college offensive production in D1 /BCS History scoring 118 times or 687 points (check this) surpassed only by the 1979 Miami and 2003 USC teams? I think.. (need help here fellow bloggers NCAA stats are fuzzy) Tech books 1189 offensive snaps in 13 games. Kliff Kingsbury edges Bob Stoops for the Big 12 Coach of the year. Sonny Cumbie gets the Broyles Award as the nation's best Assistant Coach.

MILFORD — Ray Craighead, 56, of Milford, passed away Friday, Aug. 16, 2013, at his home.

After his loss on Wednesday night to King Mo at Bellator 96, Seth Petruzelli has decided to hang up the gloves for good. Petruzelli spent 2012 on the bench healing from injuries however he wasn't really the same after those injuries and came back in January losing to Jacob Noe who also tko'd him early in the first round. Perhaps Petruzelli is best known for his knockout win over Kimbo Slice. Petruzelli stepped in on hours notice at EliteXC and knocked out Slice in 14 seconds. This would kick off a chain of events that would lead to the company falling to pieces before they could put together another event. Petruzelli walks away with a record of 14-8, but don't expect him to walk away from the sport altogether  as he plans on focusing his attentions towards his students.
Petruzelli posted on twitter:
I want to thank my family, friends, fiancé and fans for being by my side these past 13 years plus of my MMA career. Every time I fought it was to please and excite you but most of all make you proud of me. Up until a couple years ago it pleased and excited me as well. That is where I went wrong, for the past couple years I have been fighting for the wrong reasons, I don't have the desire or drive to fight like I used to and the past couple fights have shown it. So at this point in my life I would like to officially announce my retirement from the sport of MMA. Competing has been a part of my life since I was 6 years old, now I would like to put more of an effort into seeing my students/fighters do the same and making my gym grow and flourish. MMA has taken me around the world, let me meet the best and worst of people and made me feel like the brightest star but also like a black hole at times. ..and I have no regrets because I did it all my way.

Thorns FC appear to be in a mid-season slump as they suffered their second straight loss.
Portland took on the Boston Breakers on Saturday afternoon at JELD-WEN field.
Boston and U.S. Women's National Team forward Sydney Leroux scored a brace in the first half.
She found the net in both the 11th and 38th minutes.
Portland attempted a season high of 20 shots during the match but still couldn't get on the score sheet.
Final score 2-0 Boston.
Thorns head coach Cindy Parlow Cone praised Sydney Leroux's talent:
"[She] is a world class forward, and you just can't give her chances like that, having her turn and run at our defense... she's going to put those [shots] away nine times out of ten."
Despite the loss, Thorns FC are still in second place in the National Women's Soccer League, even though they haven't scored a goal in three matches.
The Thorns will be back in action at JELD-WEN next Sunday when they take on the Western New York Flash.

Some Top Stories For Today
By ThePresidentialCandidates.US on Jul 7, 2009 in Uncategorized
1. Real Clear Politics – Sarah Palin is unfit for office. Consider this scary thought: Sarah Palin in the White House!
2. Mother Jones – Health Care In The United States Is Terrible. Too many (completely disconnected from reality) people think that the US health care system is currently better than that of countries such as France. It's not. Starting off with very false assumption is standing in the way of true health care reform. First we have to understand how much worse our current system is than all of the other developed countries in the world.
3. The War On Drugs Is A War On You.
4. The Flag Burning Amendment. Again with this anti-American nonsense? Restricting free speech is anti-American. The symbol of freedom should never be more important than freedom itself. When the symbol becomes more important than the freedom itself, that symbol is rendered meaningless.
5. Banning Lobbying Could Save Our Democracy.

28 Ideas for Exchanging Christmas Gifts
Sure, you could just hand over a gift, but why not present your presents in a more creative way?
Bob Hiemstra
Make Gift-Giving Simpler
- Go in on a gift with (and for) your family. In lieu of presents, try renting a ski cabin for the weekend after Christmas or going on a beach escape together.
- Eliminate the guesswork. "I ask gift recipients to send me a wish list that I buy from. It saves time, effort, and returns, yet still preserves an element of surprise," says Real Simple reader Robin McClellan of Lehigh Acres, Florida.
- Buy recurring gifts. You'll know what to give, and the recipient will look forward to getting, say, an annual shipment of Florida citrus fruits or Vermont cheeses, a series of theater tickets, a museum membership, or even a nice desk calendar.
Make Gift-Giving Less Costly
- With family. Tell them up front you're going to cut back. "Don't make it a money issue with your kids, but talk about it in the context of what the holiday really means: 'This is the time to be with family, not for getting new skis,' " says Sue Fox, author of Etiquette for Dummies ($22, amazon.com). "Children are resilient," adds Meg Cox, who wrote The Book of New Family Traditions ($13, amazon.com). "If you make the change gradually they'll accept it." Let your extended family know as early as possible that you'd like to give and receive less. (Though some, like grandparents, may be loath to do the same.)
- With friends and colleagues. Tell them early, and be direct. Say, "I'm paring down this year—why don't we just exchange cards or go out to lunch?" You may find that they're actually relieved.
- With the unexpected gift-giver. "By all means, say 'Thank you.' But other than being super-appreciative, you do not have to reciprocate," says Peggy Post, coauthor of The Gift of Good Manners ($19, amazon.com).

Throat-slasher gets suspended sentence
EAST Kingston resident Warren Williams narrowly escaped imprisonment last Thursday after pleading guilty in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court to slashing the throat of a man who allegedly shot at him.
Williams pleaded guilty to a charge of assault occasioning bodily harm for slashing the throat of Shawn McIntosh in Warieka Hill, in the Mountain View area, on July 30.
Following Williams's guilty plea, attorney Melrose Reid begged the court to impose a non-custodial sentence on her client whom she said had misunderstood the law of self-defence.
"You can't take the law into your own hand," Magistrate Lorna Shelly-Williams scolded. "If you have a problem, take the matter to the police."
Williams was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. However, Magistrate Shelly-Williams suspended the sentence for two years.
"You are not free. Let me make it clear to you," the magistrate said.
She explained to Williams that he would have to serve the 12 months if he is convicted within the two years for a crime for which he could be imprisoned.
The court was told that the man whose throat Williams slashed is currently on a gun-related charge.

Call me cynical if you'd like, but I'll believe it when I see it. I have a sense that what he means is he needs to change his technique, not his style.....he has to get better in not getting caught.
The sad part is - he's got some skill. He works hard - he's an excellent penalty killer.
But he's by far the dirtiest player in the league.

Tennessee has six picks in the 2013 NFL not including compensatory picks. This is where the Titans should look now that they have addressed some needs in free agency.
Round 1: Chance Warmack OG, Alabama
Ok this one was easy, but why are Titans fans not worried about drafting a guard in the top 10?
First of all, Warmack is in contention to be the best overall player (in terms of talent for the position) in this year's draft. The Alabama stalwart swallowed up SEC pass rushers whole and was a jackhammer in the running game. Warmack is stout and strong, but he doesn't lose any quickness with all of that bulk. All in all the best way to summarize Warmack's style of play in one word is: punishing.
Also, when you have a revolving door at guard where your best option is someone that was cut from the ARIZONA OFFENSIVE LINE, then you have a serious problem.
Dark horse candidate: Kenny Vaccaro S, Texas
It is no secret that the Titans are looking for more safety help and if they feel they can get a quality guard in round two then Vaccaro is an extremely versatile defensive back that fills that need.
Round 2: Tyler Eifert TE, Notre Dame
Complete tight ends don't grow on trees and now that Tennessee has finally gotten rid of the Jared Cook project they can consider an upgrade at this spot. Delanie Walker, Craig Stevens, and Taylor Thompson are all tight ends that prioritize blocking over being a threat in the passing game. Eifert is an above average blocker that also splits seams and (most importantly) has great hands.
Dark horse candidate: Robert Woods WR, USC
Outside receiver isn't a need yet, but the Titans were rumored to have interest in a few slot receivers during free agency. Woods is a dynamic pass catcher that breaks tackles and fights for extra yards.
Round 3: D.J. Swearinger S, South Carolina
If the Titans don't sign Bernard Pollard then they can find his clone in round three in D.J. Swearinger. The former Gamecock is an absolute thumper that is an aggressive, downhill safety with no fear in the run game. If he can keep his hits in the legal range than he could be a very promising role player.
Dark horse candidate: Malliciah Goodman DE, Clemson
Goodman is a long defensive end that showed up when he wanted to last year. If the Titans can get him motivated then he could be a great third down player his rookie year with starter upside.
Round 4: Tyrann Mathieu CB/S LSU
The defensive back formerly known as "Honey Badger" is a playmaker that can line up anywhere on the field. Sure he has had some off the field problems, but at a certain point talent makes it worth the risk. Mathieu can push both Coty Sensabaugh for the nickel back role and Darius Reynaud for the return man job.
Dark horse candidate: Xavier Gooden LB, FSU
Gooden is an up-tempo player that can fill the depth need that the Titans have at linebacker.
Round 5: Ryan Swope WR, Texas A&M
Swope is the classic gritty, over-the-middle receiver that teams like to play in the slot and with Tennessee rumored to have been in the mix with Bradon Gibson and Danny Amendola so you have to concede that they would like to upgrade there. Swope reminds me a little of former Indianapolis Colt Austin Collie and those type of blue-colar players are what come to mind when I think of a "Mike Munchak guy".
Dark horse candidate: William Gholston DE Michigan State
I'm not a fan of Gholston as a starter, but he could definitely by an upgrade as a depth player at LDE on first and second down. He has the size and frame to swat short passes and hold the edge in the run game.
Round 7: Lavar Edwards DE, LSU
Edwards was lost on a talented and deep LSU defensive line, but his tape shows that he could have some untapped upside as a pass rusher. Personally, I don't feel comfortable with Scott Solomon as the second string RDE and if Edwards earned significant playing time at LSU then it is fair to assume that he provided them with something that Sam Montgomery couldn't.
Dark horse candidate: Zeke Motta S, Notre Dame
While Manti Te'o was getting all the attention from the media, Motta was playing the role of enforcer in the backfield. If the Titans don't get Bernard Pollard or D.J. Swearinger this could be a nice plan C.

|ULBI > SEC Filings for ULBI > Form 8-K on 1-Aug-2013
|All Recent SEC Filings
Results of Operations and Financial Condition, Financial Statements and Exhibits
NEWARK, N.Y. - August 1, 2013 -- Ultralife Corporation (NASDAQ: ULBI) reported an operating loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million on revenue of $17.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. For the second quarter of 2012, the company reported an operating loss from continuing operations of $2.9 million on revenue of $18.7 million.
Discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2013 reflect the final post-closing working capital adjustment relating to the sale transaction of RedBlack in the third quarter of 2012. For the second quarter of 2012 discontinued operations include the operating results of RedBlack. All revenue, gross margin and operating expense amounts presented below represent results from continuing operations.
Revenue was $17.3 million, compared to $18.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, a 7.6% decline, reflecting a $0.9 million, or 5.6%, decrease in Battery & Energy Products sales and a $0.6 million, or 17.6%, decrease in Communications Systems sales. Battery & Energy Products sales were $14.7 million, compared to $15.5 million last year. The decrease resulted from lower shipments of rechargeable batteries due to the timing of certain commercial and international defense orders which have been shifted to the second half of 2013. The continued slowdown in U.S. government and defense order rate for rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries and charger systems also impacted Battery & Energy Products sales. Communications Systems sales were $2.6 million, compared to $3.2 million for the same period last year reflecting delays in finalizing several large, funded orders for amplifiers and new products from U.S. and international defense customers.
Gross profit was $4.5 million, or 26.2% of revenue, compared to $4.5 million, or 23.9% of revenue, for the same quarter a year ago. The 230 basis point increase reflects favorable product mix of Communications Systems sales and the impact of a rework reserve recorded in the year earlier period. Battery & Energy Products' gross margin was 23.8%, compared to 24.2% last year, a decrease of 40 basis points due primarily to lower overhead absorption on sales volume declines. Communications Systems' gross margin was 39.3%, an increase of 1,720 basis points over the 22.1% gross margin reported last year, resulting from a stronger product mix, productivity improvements and the recording of a reserve for approximately $0.2 million related to the request by a strategically important customer to rework and upgrade certain McDowell products.
Operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 13.6%, to $6.4 million, compared to $7.4 million a year ago, reflecting ongoing general & administrative expense reductions and sharpened focus on research & development offset by sales force increases. Despite the lower revenue, operating expenses as a percent of revenue decreased from 39.6% for the year earlier period to 37.0%.
Although gross margin improved by 230 basis points and operating expenses decreased by 13.6%, the low sales volume resulted in an operating loss of $1.9 million. Compared to the second quarter of 2012, the net loss narrowed by $1.1 million due to the gross margin improvements and reductions in operating expenses.
Net loss from continuing operations was $2.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared to a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.18 per share, for the second quarter of 2012. Net loss from discontinued operations was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2013 versus net income of $0.0 million, or $0.00 per share, for the second quarter of 2012.
For 2013, although the Company's pending funded project pipelines remain strong, given the slower than expected contracting rate for current U.S. government and defense opportunities, management now expects an overall year-over-year revenue decline in the range of 10% to 12%. Driven by the potential for continued softness in government spending and contracting delays for funded projects, management expects Battery & Energy Products' revenues to decline in the range of 15% to 20% and Communication Systems' revenues to be in the flat to low-single digit growth range for the full year. However, with additional second half discretionary spending reductions and ongoing productivity improvements, management still expects to be profitable for the year and to generate a low-single digit operating margin.
Management cautions that the timing of orders and shipments may cause variability in quarterly results.

By Howard Ballou - bio | email | twitter
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - Nerves are on edge in Madison County as wildfires threaten houses and property.
Firefighters from five counties along with the Mississippi Forestry Commission are engaged in a furious battle with persistent brush fires fueled by extremely dry conditions.
The hotspots are on an estimated 560 acres in Madison County near Highway 43 and Honeysuckle Road about 10 miles northeast of Canton.
"Never seen nothing like this in my life. Not no fire like this.", said Vickie Gray.
Gray is a lifelong resident of Camden in Madison County.
But she was concerned that could come to an end Tuesday afternoon when her family was asked to evacuate her Highway 43 home.
Gray said, "Yes, it was and it was way over back in the woods and some of it was coming back over this way and smoke from the fire damaged the back of my house."
You can see just how wide a swath the fire has cut in Skycopter 3 images.
Tommy Steen, EOC director for Rankin County, said smoke from the Madison County fire has drifted as far south as Florence and Star.
A forestry commission airplane continually circles the area monitoring the scene and keep ground crews posted.
Madison County EOC director, Butch Hammack said, "Because of where it is; how it's located; weren't able to get in there with any manpower, so we've had to fight with the forestry service and basically, Howard just let it burn to us."
Firefighters with the Mississippi Forestry Commission have a cut a fire lane and surrounded this roughly 560 acres of fire and set back fires in an effort to put this thing out.
Bill Kitchings of the Mississippi Forestry Commission said, "And use the fire plow to create basically like a ditch and creates bare ground so it takes away the fuel from the fire to try to help suppress fire."
Madison County EOC director, Butch Hammack says there have been no injuries but firefighters are fatigued and emergency personnel are making sure everyone is properly hydrated.
For now, Vickie Gray and her family and other evacuees have been allowed back in their homes as firefighters continue to keep tabs on the situation.
Asked if she'll be glad when it's over, she said, "Yes, Lordy! Surely will!"

text: The Cowboys lost today making them 8-7. If the Giants loose to the Ravens that will make them 8-7 as well. The skins already break the tiebreaker with the Giants for the Division. The Skins even if the loose Sunday against the Cowboys will have the same division record of 4-2. The Skins would split the head to head matchup at one a piece. Then the skins would still have the better conference record at 7-5 vs 6-6. So why do the Skins need to beat the Boys to win the division?

Third Point's Loeb Preps Proxy Battle at Yahoo!
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Daniel Loeb is officially fed up with Yahoo!'s (YHOO) board.
According to a letter disclosed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing late Wednesday, the hedge fund manager, whose firm Third Point LLC owns more than 70.5 million Yahoo! shares, has given Yahoo! CEO Scott Thompson a heads-up that he plans to launch a proxy battle to get a fair shake for his slate of four nominees to director posts.
Loeb said in the letter that Yahoo!'s reaction to his plans to nominate four new board members -- Harry Wilson, Michael Wolf, Jeff Zucker and himself -- has been "dismissive" and that he plans file a preliminary proxy statement "within the week."
"[T]he Board's stonewalling, apparent insouciance and decision not to engage with us in a serious manner, has left us no choice but to directly approach our fellow owners with the Shareholder Slate," Loeb wrote.Loeb argued that Yahoo!'s nominating and corporate governance committee hasn't seriously considered Third Point's slate of candidates, conducting only short interviews and giving no indication of next steps in the evaluation process. "This approach is particularly nonsensical given the fact that shareholders have been clamoring for change for some time, and I do not believe that even you can realistically imagine that Yahoo!, in its current state of flux, will find four nominees that are as qualified to serve as the Shareholder Slate," he wrote. Yahoo! shares have floundered as the company has struggled to reinvent itself as a content aggregator while Google (GOOG) gobbles up Internet search traffic market share. The stock closed Wednesday's regular session at $14.63, down 11% in the past year. Loeb also said in the letter that Third Point is amenable to having Gary Wilson, a former chief financial officer at Marriott International (MAR) and Walt Disney (DIS), remain on the board as chairman for a year following the expiration of current chairman Harry Bostock's term. --Written by Michael Baron in New York.

Recently in Android Category
According to the official press statement from JK Shin, CEO and President of IT & Mobile Division, Samsung Electronics, the Galaxy Gear is all about integrating smart device technology deeper into people's everyday lives, and bridging the gap between the mobile device and fashion worlds.
But at 36.8 x 56.6 x 11.1 mm, it's pretty bulk as a fashion accessory. And at $299 it's not exactly cheap. For the same money you could probably buy a decent automatic watch rather than an 800 MHz processor with a wrist strap. Ah, but an automatic watch only does hours, minutes seconds and date...the Samsung runs Android apps.
I think the one area Samsung is likely to win some business is with sporty types. I own a Garmin 310 XT watch, which tells the time, but also monitors my heart rate, pulse, pace and, if I was on a bike, cadence (and if you're into triathlons, it is also waterproof). And at under $300, it's a great investment for fitness training, as compared to having a smartphone on an arm band or precariously mounted on a mountain bike's handle bars.
The quality of the apps will determine how good a sports watch the Galaxy Gear really is. But the two apps available at launch, RunKeeper and MyFitnessPal, are developed by third party apps companies.Unlike Nike and Garmin, which both have dedicated software for their sports watches, Samsung has given not indication it will be developing its own fitness apps.
Fitness functionality aside, I'm really not convinced of the Samsung Galaxy Gear's credentials as a watch. Remember the Casio calculator watch from the mid 1980s? Personally, I don't think I'd need to access an app on my wrist. Let's see what Apple brings out.
Last night in a highly anticipated launch in New York, Samsung unveiled its latest flagship device, the Samsung Galaxy S4, which many are saying could be the iPhone's closest competitor yet.
The device is running Android Jelly Bean and will offer peace of mind through its Knox security software.
The new device is closing in on the territory of the Galaxy Note II, with a 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED screen.
While the phone has joined the giant screen trend, it has not sacrificed this on the scales, weighing a mere 130g and with dimensions of 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9mm.
It's ready for 4G and EE have announced that it will be offering the device on its super-fast 4G network. It also holds a whopping 13MP camera with 4128 x 3096 pixels and an LED flash.
The device runs on an Exynos 5 Octa 5410 chipset, and features a Quad-core 1.6 GHz Cortex-A15 & quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
Smart Scroll
One of the big rumours around this device was its ability to recognise your eye movements and scroll through the page accordingly. This Smart Scroll feature was indeed announced last night, the software tracks eyes and wrist movement in order to scroll through emails. Additionally its Smart Pause functionality works in a similar way: watch a video and take your eyes away from the screen and it will recognise this and pause the content.
"The debut of nifty eye motion-sensitive controls to allow users to pause video and scroll through pages using eye movements alone is smart, and for commuters crammed in trains - or just those who love a bit of futuristic tech that makes their lives easier - this novel feature will really help the Galaxy S4 to stand out," said Ernest Doku, Telecoms from uSwitch.com
Is it nifty or just a consumer gimmick? And more importantly, will it truly work? We will have to wait to get our hands on a review unit until we can be sure.
Translator tool
Business travellers will find the translator function useful. Samsung claim that its "S Translator" feature will understand and translate nine languages including Brazilian, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin American Spanish and Portuguese. This feature can translate from speech-to-text and text-to-speech, while also recognising 3,000 phrases stored in the phone, in case you are without data connectivity.
Added security
Businesses will also welcome the new built in Knox software to tackle the poor security record of the Android OS.
Knox provides securing booting when the S4 starts up, enhancements to Android that separate data from applications and Tima, a technology Samsung said offers continuous monitoring of the system.
Knox also allows the IT department to separate work from personal use. The S4 presents the user with a different environment in work mode, which Samsung claims is separate from the personal use environment. It offers an encrypted file system, virtual private network and mobile device management support.
Speaking to Computer Weekly, Tony Cripps, devices and platforms analyst at Ovum noted that, with Knox, Samsung is offering enterprise-grade mobile security, which makes it an alternative to Blackberry Enterprise Server.
"Samsung can also take advantage of any reluctance by businesses to deploy applications and data on Apple iOS devices," Cripps said.
While the hype over recent innovative smartphones such as the BlackBerry Z10 and the Nokia Lumia 920, may have died down. It seems that excitement of the latest Galaxy may have continued the two-horse race between Samsung and Apple. But will the two companies put their patent battles behind them? I doubt it - it's just too easy to throw money around in the court room, than to spend it on actual innovation.
Available in white and black, the devices should be entering the market at the end of April.
This week at CES in Las Vegas, Panasonic added to its line of rugged Toughpad tablets with the Windows 8 Pro 10.1-inch FZ-G1 and the Android 7-inch JT-BI.
Since 1996 Panasonic has been producing mobile computers for the mobile workforce who need to rely on a more study product that will resist dust, water, shocks when in use in the field. The two tablets join a 10.1-inch Android tablet which was broadly available last year.
Toughpads are designed for mobile workers in sectors such as military, government, construction, healthcare, public safety, utilities, retail, and maintenance to name a few.
The devices come with optional added extras such as heighten security features, electronic scanners and card readers. The new tablets are also splash proof and feature screens that are viewable in the sunlight, as well as being robust enough to survive drops and dust.
The Windows 8 Pro FZ-G1
• Operating System: Windows 8 Pro
• Processor: 3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3437U vPro™ 1.9GHz up to 2.9GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
• Memory: 128-256GB SSD, 4-8GB RAM, optional micro SDXC
• Rugged: MIL-STD-810G, 4' drop, IP65, 14° to 122°F (operational temp range)
• Display: 10.1", sunlight viewable, touch screen and active digitizer, 800nit, WUXGA (1920x1200)
• Battery: 8.0 hours (user-replaceable)
• Dimensions: 10.6" x 7.4" x 0.75"
• Weight: 1.1kg
• Wireless: Bluetooth V4.0, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, optional embedded 4G LTE or 3G
• I/O: Full size USB 3.0, HDMI, optional micro SDXC, Full size USB 2.0, wired LAN, true serial port or dedicated GPS.
Panasonic claims it will survive a 4 foot drop and it wouldn't surprise me as this device, despite its rugged and therefore very clunky look, is surprisingly light at just over a kilogram, easy enough to carry about.
The FZ-G1 comes with a barcode scanner and the option of adding on e-card readers and other types of bespoke enterprise technology. Its battery is also replaceable if you run out of the included 8 hours.
The Android 4.0 JT-B1
• Operating System: Android 4.0
• Processor: TI OMAP4460 1.5GHz Dual core
• Memory: 16GB ROM, 1GB RAM, micro SDHC
• Rugged: MIL-STD-810G, 5' drop, IP65, 14° to 122°F (operational temp range)
• Display: 7", daylight viewable, 500nit, WSVGA (1024 x 600)
• Camera: Front: 1.3Mp fixed focus, Rear: 13.0Mp auto focus w/ LED light
• Battery: 8.0 hours - Large 5,720mAh battery (user-replaceable)
• Dimensions: 8.7"x 5.1" x 0.7"
• Weight: 0.54kg
• Wireless: Bluetooth V4.0, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, optional embedded 4G LTE + 3G
• I/O: Micro USB
This device is a much smaller form factor, running Android's operating system, the device itself doesn't have the capacity to run Windows 8, so it's aim at those out in the field not needing quite as much power under the hood.
This device is easily portable at half a kilogram, pop it straight into a laptop bag without noticing. It also is available with additional extras including different types of handles to grip securely to the device.
The FZ-G1 will be available from March, starting at $2,899, and the JT-B1, will ship February, starting at $1,199. At these prices they are definitely aimed at large scale operations, as smaller businesses would be unlikely to kit out the entire workforce at pushing two grand per device for Windows.
Speaking to Kyp Walls, director of product management, at CES, I asked him how he thought the Windows 8 Pro version would fair in the enterprise space which is generally not looking to adopt the new operating system straight away.
He said, "Even though it has been built for Windows 8, a fair number of our customers will buy it with a Windows 7 downgrade."
Panasonic have a Windows 7 Toughbook on the market at the moment, but the convenience of buying the new FZ-G1 is that it is around a third lighter.
Sony has unveiled its new flagship smartphone handset at CES in Las Vegas, the Xperia Z. The smartphone comes with a full HD screen, Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor and it comes ready for 4G use.
It is also waterproof, so no need to worry about sending text messages from the confines of the tub. Sony claims the device will survive in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes, which would come in handy when you want to clean your phone - just rinse it in the sink.
The device screen is 5-inches, which borders on the phablet territory of the Samsung Galaxy Note, which stands at 5.5-inches. This is a screen increase of 0.4-inches from its predecessor, again being another screen in CES to be increasing in size rather than shrinking.
Despite its larger size, the device is nice and slim and feels great held in the hand. Its predecessor, the James Bond 007 device, aka the Xperia T, had a scalloped back panel and a matte finish. The scalloped back is now gone and the Z also goes back to preferring shine and fingerprints - I think this makes it classier and more modern looking.
This picture shows the Xperia T on the left and the Xperia Z on the right
The device also features NFC, opening up possibilities of the mobile wallet (once banks get their acts together to enable a service). While you wait for that to happen, you can use the device to eliminate wires while enjoying music, one tap and you can connect to headphones or your home entertainment system.
Sony has included a few overlays to the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system that it runs on, such as hold the homescreen button to skip straight to Google, and quick start buttons for apps of your choice, such as notes.
Additionally, Sony has included a nice feature for quickly browsing images from your gallery while still on the homescreen - Timescape allows you to flick through images to easily access the one you need quickly.
This version of Android's operating system comes with Office Suite and I found the keyboard of the Z comfortable to type with.
Sony is hoping to regain some traction in the market, but will this device take attention away from Samsung and Apple? From my short-lived hands on experience, it's nice enough, but I don't think it has as many selling points as the flagship devices of its competitors to make a noise in the market.
The device is also available in as the Xperia ZL with a lower screen resolution and a matte finish on the backing. This is also not water resistant.

William (17 August 1153 – April 1156) was the first son of Henry, Duke of Normandy (later Henry II of England) and Eleanor of Aquitaine.[1][2] He was born in Normandy on the same day that his father's rival, Eustace IV of Boulogne, died.
He died in April 1156, aged two years due to a seizure at Wallingford Castle and was buried in Reading Abbey at the feet of his great-grandfather Henry I, the father of his paternal grandmother Empress Matilda.
At the time of his death, he was reigning as Count of Poitiers, as his mother had ceded the county to him. For centuries, the dukes of Aquitaine had held this as one of their minor titles, so it had passed to Eleanor from her father; giving it to her son was effectively a revival of the title, separating it from the duchy. Some authorities say he also held the title of "Archbishop of York", but this is probably an error. His half-brother Geoffrey (died 1212), who was born a year before William, did later hold that office, causing the confusion.

after week one at Baltimore, when the few of us on here who had the balls to tell it like it is got our asses handed to us for being negative, I decided to sit back and let the season do the talking.
I would say it's probably safer now to once again tell it like it is. But trugh is, nothing haschanged one bit since game one. Game one the Ravens had zero tape on us. They didn't even know which QB to game for. We had the element of being unknown. We had all the chips in our favor and gave up 510 yards and 38 points. That should have been all we needed right there.
Now I'm pretty sure that we all have gotten the point here KC fans. WE SUCK! Horribly. In every department. When your star play maker is a kicker, your team is screwed. Even Cassel is playing horrible. Watch the Buffalo game and watch Edwards under constant pressure in a losing battle still look smooth as was possible given the immense rush he faced all day. Brady Quinn could have been our QB at times and looked as good under center.
I'm not saying we have no hope here. Again Buffalo and the 49 ers should be proof of that. But we are not the Falcons or the Dolphins of last year. We are more like the Bills or 9ers, a work in progress. If you can use the word progress and Chiefs in the same sentence without being expelled from school.
It all adds up to whatever we do with the draft and trades next year. This year is in the bag. We're a 2-14 team if we're lucky again. And I stress that we will need luck to help us get even 2 wins. We get worse every game. Not better. If we started this started this season in the ICU, then we're on life support now and fading fast.
And yes I will say it again at the risk of being yelled at again for it; Even the Detroit Lions would beat our as*%es. I have been the biggest Haley suck up this year and I admit it. But he has even me doubtingnow, and because of our record. I am not shocked that we need more than 3 games to get it right here in KC after the last 2 seasons, but because of his decision making during the last 2 games. His play calling in the second half yesterday??? What was that about?
Either he is a secret genius and is going to make us a worlwide phenom over the next couple of years or he will be sitting next to Herm calling games on CBS.

My husband & son are intolerant. They have gluten-free bread, request it toasted because their sandwiches have a lot of meat!! Almost everything on the salad bar is safe, with the exception of pasta, crackers, & croutons. Friendly staff!! Try the ice cream in a little dish & the chocolate syrup is safe too. We love this place!! We eat there all the time & my guys have never gotten sick

text: Alright I don't know what that last reviewer was thinking, but this album is by far the best album "The Cult" ever did. I'm also a big fan of "Love" but everything after sort of lost me (with the exception of an occasional song). Actually I was fortunate enough to find it on cassette. The cassette version has the album on side 1, and the Live album on side 2. So you get a good dose of Death Cult, Southern Death Cults most famous song (Moyah) as well as the song from Dreamtime that isn't on the album (Bonebag). Now the way I explain this album to someone who's never heard it before is… Picture an "Apache" warrior tripping out on Peyote in the middle of a field during a midnight drizzle, hehe. Songs such as "83rd Dream" (my favorite track) and "Horse Nation" really show that illustration… "Four crows nailed to a wood post" and other disturbingly Beautifull quotes are what make this album the "Dark Mystical Masterpiece" it is. As well as the full on attack of Billy Duffy guitars, Nigel Prestons frantic drums (which at most times in the album remind me of tom toms) Not to mention Ian Astbury's Wailing vocals. But lets not forget Jamie Stewarts excellent Bass. Yes this is the premiere album for a taste of what the Post-PunkGothDeathrock scene was like in early 80's england.
