Study Abroad Essential!
Packing for a semester abroad was stressful to say the least, but there have been some great essentials I'm glad I made room for in my suitcase.
In France (and I believe in most of Europe) Supermarkets, pharmacies and other non clothing/home stores will charge you for bags. Smart for them, annoying for us! I keep this Baggu in my tote at all times. It is the handiest thing, plus it's light and folds up small. It saves me money at the stores and is great for picking up little things from all the vendors at the market. Plus all the French carry their own bags, so it makes me look totally Parisian … well maybe that's a stretch, but it's definitely stylish!
I got mine in this mint color from J Crew, but the Bagu website has them in a ton of different colors and patterns. Best $9 Mama Bear has ever spent on me? I think so.

"Great Cell Phone"The good: Never lets me down. Battery lasts a long time. The bad: It takes a long time to load up when you turn it on. Summary: I think that this phone is one of the best I've ever used. As I said, it never lets me down and gets service in places where service would be unexpected.

These necessary macro-economic changes, he said, had nothing to do with the high-skill jobs being discussed at the conference. He attributed employment imbalances to general mismanagement of labor markets, the failure to open up more markets, and slow progress in using new technical knowledge to generate employment. Europe did not need a policy that puts "everybody into the labor market, no matter what they do," but "a much more strategic policy of increasing the knowledge intensity of economic activity."
Dr. Myers closed the discussion by mentioning the "Solow paradox," the discovery that when U.S. firms first invested in information technology, they saw no increase in productivity. The problem was that new technology was being applied to existing work processes. His company found that productivity increased only when work procedures, including the production floor, were totally redesigned to fit the new IT. Any discussion of jobs, he said, needed to include a discussion of productivity, both of which are important for secure economic performance.

The Maloofs may have struck a deal to sell the Kings to Chris Hansen's investment group and relocate them to Seattle, but the fight to keep them in Sacramento is not over.
Mayor Kevin Johnson will have the opportunity to present a counter-offer at the next NBA Board of Governors meeting in a last-ditch attempt to convince the 29 other owners to strike the deal down.
Sources have told NBC Sports that there are three investment groups interested in presenting a counter-offer to buy the Kings and keep them in Sacramento. The groups have both the vision and money to "transform one of the NBA's most proven markets into a top franchise."
Johnson will speak about the latest goings-on at a 2 p.m. press conference on Tuesday.
The Fight Turns Political
USA Today has received a copy of a letter from California Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg intended for California Department of General Services director Fred Klass, stating complaints about Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's involvement in the Seattle investment group that has purchased the Kings.
The letter describes how Ballmer, who has helped Silicon Valley and the state of California grow and prosper, would be using profits earned with business in California to relocate one of the state's assets.
I cannot stand idly by while a prominent out-of-state company that has significantly profited from business with the State of California actively attempts to acquire and remove one of my State and my region's leading private assets.
Our thoughts: the national media may be reporting that the Kings' relocation to Seattle is all but a done deal, but the truth is, the fight to keep the Kings in Sacramento is not quite over.

Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One
moreToo often people suffering the aftermath of a suicide suffer alone. As the survivor of a person who has ended his or her own life, you are left a painful legacy -- and not one that you chose. Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One will help you take the first steps toward healing. While each individual becomes a suicide survivor in his or her own way, there are predictable phases of pain that most survivors experience sooner or later, from the grief and depression of mourning to guilt, rage, and despair over what you have lost.
You may be torturing yourself with repetitive questions such as "What if...?" "Why didn't we...?" and "Why, why, why?" Healing After the Suicide of a Loved One will steer you away from this all-too-common tendency to blame yourself and will put you on the path to healing and recovery. Remember, your wounds can heal and you can recover. Filled with case studies, excellent information, valuable advice, and a completely up-to-date reading list and directory of suicide support groups nationwide, this valuable book will give you the strength and hope to go on living. less

The Chicago Bears continued to bolster their special teams on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the Bears re-signed cornerback Sherrick McManis to a one-year deal. The Bears acquired McManis in a trade prior to the 2012 season with the Houston Texans.
While McManis does provide depth for the Bears at the cornerback position, McManis' main contributions to the team is as a special teams player. McManis has a total of 25 special teams tackles over the course of the past two seasons and that mark is the most for any Bears special teams player over the course of that period.
Special teams play was a concern for the Bears last season. That is why general manager Phil Emery has wasted no time in addressing the Bears special teams in the off-season. With the signings of Jordan Senn, Domenik Hixon, Danny McCray and the re-signings of McManis and Craig Steltz, Emery is determined to give special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis a better crop of players than he had last season.
McManis will be entering his fifth year in the NFL in 2014.

Marijuana User Thankful for Arrest
Water Main Break Cancels Houston School Day After Noon
Not a snowstorm, nor a teacher sick-out, not even a failed boiler. The reason Houston, Minnesota schools are closing at noon today is much more mundane. Just no water. A water main break between the city and school property means water will have to be shut off for repairs. Houston district bosses says they're unsure whether school will reopen tomorrow.
Cuts to Local Governments Anything but a Surprise
After a couple of delays the long-awaited two year state budget from governor Walker should be out this week. The governor last week moved the delivery of his budget address to March first--tomorrow. La Crosse mayor Matt Harter says he doesn't know any details. But he's got a pretty good idea in general what to expect. Cuts in shared revenue and plenty of them. That's, after all, part of the message that Scott Walker campaigned on in his run for governor.
Harter has already said that he'll look at police and fire budgets for significant cost savings if the city's budget faces a shortfall from the state.
Search Continues for Kwik Trip Robber
La Crosse police are still searching for a thug who pulled a gun on a clerk at a southside Kwik Trip around midnight on Saturday. Police say they guy covered his face with something, pulled a gun, demanded money and took off. Cops won't say if he got any cash. They're looking for a white guy, 5'8", medium build, 25 to 35. At the time of the hold up, he was wearing dark clothing.
Grand River Station Business Search, "On Track"
Among the empty storefronts in La Crosse, several in a row seem to stand out more than others. Those storefronts comprise the empty ground floor of the new Grand River Station downtown. From Downtown Mainstreet, director Tim Kabat believes the business search for the building is heading in the right direction. He says the developer has had several inquiries for the space and his organization is also working to find either new businesses to locate at the bus depot or existing businesses that want to expand into the high profile spot.
Recently Grand River Station developers had requested a rent break from the city because of the lack of interested renters for the business space. The building opened officially last August.

Good Questions: Where Can I Get This Shower Curtain?
Los Angeles
Dear Apartment Therapy community, this is the greatest shower curtain!! Dying to find it, or the fabric..... any ideas where to get this or who makes it? -Jen
13 Comments
Hi ... fabric verys similar to Peter Dunham Textiles fabric "Samarkand". Available through Hollywood At Home in LA
Hope that helps :) Agreed .. this fabric design is one of my favs.
I don't know for certain but it looks very much like John Robshaw. He certainly has similar fabric.
looks a lot like some curtains that anthropologie was selling two years ago. I like this fabric also
I think that's almost certainly a set of curtains by John Robshaw for Anthropologie... we have them in our guest room! Unfortunately I think they're long gone from the store by now, but you might be able to find them secondhand.
the other people are right. those are actually curtains by john robshaw. i have them (for my windows), and i got them at anthropologie a few years ago.
you can obtain similar bedspreads at urban outfitters and DIY if you're broke
Check his website; he might still have some.
I feel your pain; I really,really want a couple of the Pichwai pillows he did that were sold by Anthropologie. The ones I want are no longer available on his website...
John Robshaw for certain---I have a pillow in the same print. I don't think that the company makes shower curtains anymore though :(
I bought 2 of the last 3 on anthropologie. They are John Robshaw. I was motivated by the same photo. I sewed them together to make the shower curtain for our newly remodeled bathroom.
keep a sharp eye on ebay
Just get the fabric from John Robshaw - it's his Kochi print
it was called the lapis curtain (robshaw for anthropolgie)
i bookmarked it on my kaboodle (a wishlist site) because i loved the print so much....
you could check ebay periodically for it, if you cant buy it through john robshaw
Uzbeks make pottery and textiles with this type of motif this is why I would like to visit Central Asia. I just bought hardware with this kind of motif to put on an Ikea cabinet that I needed.
I saw these at a store in Mill Valley a while back. Maybe checking with some of the shops that carries Rob Shaw items.

Light During Darkness and Cancer: Relationships in Circadian Photoreception and Tumor Biology

The relationship between circadian phototransduction and circadian-regulated processes is poorly understood. Melatonin, commonly a circadian phase marker, may play a direct role in a myriad of physiologic processes. The circadian rhythm for pineal melatonin secretion is regulated by the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Its neural source of light input is a unique subset of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells expressing melanopsin, the primary circadian photopigment in rodents and primates. Action spectra of melatonin suppression by light have shown that light in the 446–477 nm range, distinct from the visual system's peak sensitivity, is optimal for stimulating the human circadian system. Breast cancer is the oncological disease entity whose relationship to circadian rhythm fluctuations has perhaps been most extensively studied. Empirical data has increasingly supported the hypothesis that higher risk of breast cancer in industrialized countries is partly due to increased exposure to light at night. Studies of tumor biology implicate melatonin as a potential mediator of this effect. Yet, causality between lifestyle factors and circadian tumor biology remains elusive and likely reflects significant variability with physiologic context. Continued rigorous empirical inquiry into the physiology and clinical implications of these habitual, integrated aspects of life is highly warranted at this time.

Hands-on with the LG G Flex
The new LG G Flex is billed as the "world's first curved, flexible smartphone," but once you get your hands on one it becomes clear right away that only half of that line is really true for practical purposes. It is a beautiful, sleek and powerful phone with an elegant curve to it, and yes, it does have a flexible display, but that display has been set in a rigid case that prevents it from actually flexing.

Wearables gone wild and more: CES 2014 preview
For years now, the annual Consumer Electronics Show held each January in Las Vegas has been all about the latest in technology, and this year will be no different, but for the first time, fashion could play an important role in the show's biggest takeaways, as wearable technology takes center stage at CES 2014. That's just one of the many categories that Gizmag's team will be going hands (or heads or arms...) on with from the floor of the Las Vegas Convention Center and other venues around Sin City this week. Here's a preview of what we expect to make waves at the world's biggest tech show. Read More
2013: The year Android grew up
While there is no formal ceremony or rite of passage, it seems clear to me that 2013 was the year that Android finally came of age as a fully mature mobile OS to power the world. Rather than a fancy coronation ceremony, let's take a look back at the highlights of the past 12 months in Android. Read More
How solar cells are taking over sea, sky and space
Solar technology has evolved beyond just your grandpa's big, bulky photovoltaic panels on the roof. Advances in flexible, hyper-efficient and nano-scale materials of late has made it possible for solar cells to begin popping up in all kinds of shapes and places you might not expect. Here's a quick rundown of some surprising spots where solar technology dwells – be sure to flip through the gallery to get a full grasp on the scale of the increasingly solar-powered landscape.

Nexus 5 vs. Galaxy S4: Under the microscope
In the world of Android flagship phones, there's plenty of competition and even more opinions about which phone(s) are best, but it's undeniable that two of the phones that generated the most hype and attention in 2013 were Samsung's Galaxy S4 and Google's Nexus 5 (another was from Motorola – also read my hands-on comparison of the Moto X and the Nexus 5). The GS4 hit the market in Q2, while the Nexus 5 arrived just about a month ago. There's been a Galaxy S4 in my house since the summer and I borrowed a Nexus 5 from Google for almost a full month, so at this point I've a strong enough handle on the strengths and weaknesses of each to help those of you still trying to decide between one or the other.

Android 4.4 KitKat for two weeks: A detailed review
For more than a year, Android enthusiasts waited for Google to unveil the next iteration of the mobile operating system to succeed Jelly Bean. It was widely thought (even within Google) to be called Key Lime Pie. Instead, a bizarre marketing partnership was struck that gave us Android 4.4 KitKat. In this review, Eric Mack runs down the changes, improvements and a few steps backward. Read More

Being a young and famous pop star might seem like it's all rainbows and butterflies, but there are also some serious cons like online bullying. Sky Ferreira, who's currently on tour with Miley Cyrus, knows these cons all to well. The young pop star has had it with online bullies and today she revealed her concerns.
In a Facebook post, Ferreira said that she was "exhausted of (more than some) people telling [her] how [she] should look or be if [she] want to be a "pop star" & how they think it's okay to say vile & (sexually) abusive shit to [her] on a daily basis over the internet." Ferreira went on to say:
"I'm not only writing about myself…because almost every person has to deal with this. It's a shame because I now feel like I can't connect or directly speak with true fans. I'm not a mess,I'm not a drug addict, I'm not a slut or a bitch. I recently blocked someone because they were constantly harassing me & making fun of sexual abuse that happened in my past…Which I've publicly spoken about to hopefully help others. They came to one of my shows & my friend confronted the person.We were accused of being homophobic after. Which is absolutely insane because my friends,my family & a majority of my fans are homosexual. Sexuality,gender,race,& age are irrelevant to me," Ferreira continues. "As it should be for everyone by now. Treating people like shit because you feel like shit doesn't help anyone. If you see hateful/disgusting/abusive comments,please start reporting it or deleting it. I think that's the only way we can start to lower that sort of thing from happening. Use the internet as a way to connect with others & LEARN. Show & spread compassion."
Last year, Ferreira and her boyfriend Zachary Cole Smith of the band DIIV were stopped by police in New York and discovered in possession of ecstasy tablets and heroin. Ferreira told Billboard, "I know for a fact I'm not a drug addict. That's all I really have to say about it."
Though Ferreira's personal life may be getting nitpicked on the internet, her musical career seems to be going pretty great. Her debut album Night Time, My Time has sold 25,000 copies since its release last October, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The singer has been supporting the album as an opener on Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour.
Check out her video for "You're Not The One."
Do you agree with Sky Ferreira's online bullying comment?

"If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren't like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like"
"Too much! Wait till you have lived here longer. Look down the valley! See the cloud of a hundred chimneys that overshadows it! I tell you that the cloud of murder hangs thicker and lower than that over the heads of the people. It is the Valley of Fear, the Valley of Death. The terror is in the hearts of the people from the dusk to the dawn. Wait, young man, and you will learn for yourself."
"You've got to go with Torry, but once they get going, maybe the second hundred (yards), Kevin would win,"

The great thing about torn shapes of brown paper is that they look like fuzzy feathers. My kids had a lot of fun making owls this week, and I can promise you that no two were alike.
1. Students cut a gray branch and glued it down to a sheet of black paper. I love the Recollections paper from Michaels as it is BLACK, not faded gray like most construction paper.
2. One or more shades of brown paper are torn into little feather shapes. It's best to start at the bottom and build to the top.
3. Use a 2″ hole punch to cut eyes. Add more torn feathers in a circular pattern around them.
4. Add a cut orange mouth, and claws if time permits.

2012 AFC Championship
We will be live blogging the calls and rules interpretations from the Ravens-Patriots game. (If you see continue reading below, click it to see the entire feed.)
If you have any questions or comments, use the comments section of this post, or tweet us @footballzebras.
Today's crew is headed by Bill Leavy. The full crew list is at the bottom of this post.
The roughing-the-passer rule is by the book. Sorry it was missing from our coverage, because it seemed very routine.
There is a recognition that, during the normal course of play, the quarterback is going to have incidental hits to the head. However, there also is a recognition that the quarterback should not be subject to a cheap head slap by an onrushing defender just because he couldn't control his arms. This was typically seen that a defensive lineman "sends a message" to the quarterback on a near-sack by slapping the quarterback's head. So, the Competition Committee issued a point of emphasis for referees to watch unnecessary contact to the quarterback's head.
In this case, the defender had his hands up at "12 o'clock" and chopped down and contacted the quarterback's helmet. Because it was a forcible blow, and not simply brushing the helmet, this was a textbook foul, and Terry McAulay did not hesitate in throwing a flag.
I missed uploading this on Sunday night, so here it is. After the helmet-to-helmet contact that was called against Bernard Pollard earlier in the game (which was called correctly), the Patriots Jerod Mayo should have been flagged for his hit on Dennis Pitta. It looks like Mayo turned his head, but he still make contact with his helmet on Pitta's helmet.
GIF Animation at Mocksession
Q: Can you give an explanation on what you saw in the hood when you went to review the fumble in the fourth quarter that confirmed the ruling on the field?
Leavy: What I saw was the receiver was going to the ground, had both legs off the ground, no body part was on the ground. The ball hit his knee and dislodged from his hand before the rest of his body hit the ground, therefore it was a fumble and we confirmed it.
Final, Ravens 28-13
Baltimore advances to Super Bowl XLVII
Penalties — Ravens 5 for 60 yards, Patriots 4 for 40 yards, plus 1 double-foul declined. Replay reviews — Replay official challenged 2 Patriots turnovers in the 4th quarter; both were confirmed.
4th Qtr | 12:46 | video. On a run by Stevan Ridley, he was hit in the helmet, fell to the ground, and lost control of the ball. The call by line judge Jeff Seeman was a fumble. Ridley was injured on the play, so the focus was shifted on his well-being as the television broadcast went to commercial.
Replay official Mark Burns buzzed down during the commercial for Leavy to take a closer look. Upon review, it was apparent that Ridley was very close to being down by contact. However, just a few inches separate Ridley's leg from the ground when he loses control of the ball. (The image here shows when the ball touches his leg, the instant he loses control of the ball.)
Even with the benefit of replay, it looked like he was down by contact. It wasn't until I saw the video stopped at this point was I convinced.
2nd Qtr | :26 | GIF animation | video. On a scramble by Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, he slides feet first to declare himself down immediately. However, in the slide Brady stuck his foot out, which could have drawn an unneccessary roughness foul. It was incidental enough, however, if there had been more contact with the foot, it would have certainly been a penalty. Oddly, it might have worked in the Patriots favor, as they were confused as to which play to call, and a timeout was taken with 4 seconds remaining in the half. If the penalty was called, yes, they would have lost the 15 yards, but they would have had 18 seconds on the clock.
It was a poor slide by Brady, much like what the ball-throwing dad in the VW commercials might demonstrate to his kid.
(h/t for animation from Mocksession)
2nd Qtr | 2:00 | video. Tom Brady changes direction in a run up the middle. Unfortunately, that was where umpire Chad Brown was. There is no recourse for this, and nor should there be, as Brady ran right at Brown. Brown did what he could to get out of the way.
Since it was the first play after the two-minute warning, Brown had just moved his position from the offensive backfield to behind the linebackers. Had this play occurred before the two-minute warning, Brown would not have been there.
3rd Qtr. | 11:12. Officials are taught to err on the side of safety when it comes to head shots. Bernard Pollard (Leavy announced the wrong number) hit the Patriots receiver above the shoulders. The league will support that personal foul call.
On the intentional-grounding pickup, I would have held the flag until talking to the line judge. Minor quibble.
1st Qtr. | 1:05. Good crew communication between Leavy, Seeman, and Veteri on picking up the intentional grounding flag.
Leavy is wearing a down indicator on each hand. One hand helps him keep track of the down, the other indicator helps him know the position of the ball between the hashes in case they have to re-spot the ball after a penalty or incomplete pass. Or instance, if the placement indicator is on his left hand, pinky is left hash, ring finger is half way between hash and center, middle finger is center of the field, pointer finger is half way between center and right hash, and thumb is right hash.
This is Leavy's 15th postseason assignment, including 4 wild cards, 8 divisional playoffs, his first conference championship, and Super Bowls XXXIV and XL. It is very unusual for Leavy to have not worked a conference championship but participated in two Super Bowls. At the referee position, you must have a prior conference championship at any position to be eligible to work a Super Bowl. In Leavy's case, he already worked a Super Bowl as a back judge in his first year he was qualified to do so, thus the conference championship requirement was not enforced.

|The line goes green
The Telecommunications industry is the backbone of the global economy, with total revenues in excess of $1.8 trillion (USD), and a key enabler of modern commerce across all industry sectors. However, energy consumption has grown in line with demand and this now represents a major environmental challenge.
|The next wave of Green IT
As companies around the world prepare for a carbon-constrained economy, business leaders are increasingly employing Green IT (information technology) strategies in efforts to reduce energy use, cut carbon emissions and mitigate exposure to risks associated with energy price volatility, pending regulatory demands, and increased transparency and reporting requirements.

Over the past 12 months Deloitte and GS1, a leading global organisation dedicated to the design and implementation of supply chain standards and solutions, have carried out two linked surveys that provide an understanding of how attitudes of businesses towards sustainability have changed over time, framed against the background of the recent global economic downturn.

The survey highlights a number of 'best practice' disclosures and includes a reporting checklist and illustrative carbon disclosures for an annual report, drawing on our findings to provide a practical guide to assist preparers with their carbon reporting.
|Swimming in words
This survey of narrative reporting in annual reports during 2009 builds on a series of such reports Deloitte has released since 1996. It includes an overview of current regulatory requirements and latest developments in narrative reporting, as well as "best practice" examples. The analysis shows the firmly established and growing reporting of sustainability / corporate responsibility matters within annual reports, a trend which is likely to continue with the Government's commitment to re-introduced the Operating and Financial Review, which was dropped by the former Government.
|Innovation in emerging markets: 2008 Annual Study
Concerns about product safety, product quality and environmental standards are expected to lead UK manufacturers to only source from emerging markets with stricter standards.This report is focused on these vital considerations that have become even more important following major product recalls.
|Delivering the low-carbon economy
Manufacturing can thrive in producing innovative goods and technologies to help reduce carbon emissions. The low carbon economy could provide UK manufacturing with significant opportunities

On Monday the Supreme Court declined to hear on appeal the case of Elane Photography v. Willock, giving tacit approval of the ruling by the New Mexico Supreme Court.
In 2006 Elaine Huguenin, co-owner of Elane Photography in Taos, New Mexico, received an email from Vanessa Willock asking her to photograph her upcoming "commitment ceremony" with her same-sex partner, Misti Collinsworth. Huguenin respectfully declined and referred her to another photographer who handled the task. When Willock learned that Huguenin declined because of her Christian beliefs, Willock filed a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Commission. It was all downhill from there.

Homicide investigators have been called in to probe the "suspicious" death of a man found inside a home in downtown Chilliwack.
"I can confirm that IHIT has now taken conduct of this investigation," said Sgt. Bari Emam of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
Members of the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP were called to the area of First Avenue and Coote Street around 4 a.m. on Thursday.
There, officers found a man who had died inside a residence in the 46700-block of First.
"Upon initial assessment of the scene by members of the Chiliwack RCMP, it was determined that this death was suspicious," read a statement released by IHIT on Thursday afternoon.
Emam did not say whether the killing was possibly gang-related. No details of the man's identity have been released.
Homicide investigators are asking anyone who was in the area of the home late Wednesday evening or early Thursday morning, or who may know something about the death, to contact police.
IHIT can be reached via its tip line at 1-877-551-4448, or by email at email@example.com. Those who wish to remain anonymous can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

11:20 AM PT Richie Incognito is a seriously forgiving dude ... telling us, "Football is an intense game. I've been there. Emotions run high. People lose their cool ... thank God no one got hurt."
No blood no foul in the case of the violent helmet swinging incident between Houston Texans Antonio Smith and Miami Dolphins Richie Incognito -- because Incognito is willing to let it slide ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the Dolphins offensive lineman tell us he has no plans to press criminal charges for the vicious altercation during Saturday's preseason game.
The video, first aired on FOX Sports 1, is ugly – while the players were grappling, Smith ripped off Incognito's helmet and swung it HARD right at his noggin.
We're told Incognito's totally fine, so at worst it was probably a grazing shot -- but considering NFL helmets weigh as much as 6 pounds of hard plastic -- Smith could've done some serious damage.
Houston police and the Harris County Sheriff tell us they would only take action against Smith ... if Incognito filed a complaint.
Smith's not off the hook with the NFL, which could suspend him. A league spokesman says the case is "under review."
That's a face mask penalty right there...15 yards.
Smith should be benched for the season WITHOUT PAY!!! Hes lucky enough to be on a pro football team and he acts like that?? No Way!!!
I can't believe Incognito is still playing pro ball because he's such a blooming idiot. When he played for the Rams, I can't tell you how many big plays (and we didn't have many) were nullified because of a penalty on this slack-jawed cretin. Besides that, the play doesn't look like it was intentional. Looks like Incognitos helmet came off when the guy was coming up. Even if Incognito did get hit with a helmet, it couldn't make him any stupider than he already is!
F Ingonito he's one of the dirtiest players in the league! And the ninja can did nothing wrong!!
A suspension is warranted, but Incognito is a dirty player, always has been and that should be considered regarding the fine. He's got a history of dirty play. Incognito clearly had his hands inside Smiths facemask.
What about the next time someone gets under neath Smith's skin? Will he show more restraint and not tear off another player's helmet? Or will he throw caution to the wind and bash their brains out?
Incognito might be dirty and cheap, but that doesn't make Smith Batman. Let the league deal with dirty players. Or hit him within the rules. A 15 yard penalty is better than a 3 game suspension.
Incognito is dirty and everyone knows it! He tried to break Smith's ankle last year. If you watch the video you will see that Incognito is clearly jerking Smith's helmet around. Incognito should be suspended too. And seriously? He isn't pressing charges? You play a violent game where you are paid to hit and be hit. Put you panties back in the drawer and go earn the millions you get paid. And hey, if you don't entice people by trying to break their ankles and jerk their head around by their helmet, you probably don't have to worry about getting your helmet ripped off and thrown at you.
Watch the whole play unfold, you will see that Incognito got away with some ****ty play, incognito. He was punching Smith.
I wonder if all of this crazy behavior from football players is tied into the concussion issue? Every time we hear a rape or violent crime story with athletes its college and pro football players.
An NFL player tried to compare the NFL locker room to corporate employer and accepting the perverse traditional. No territorial haven should be carved out for conduct exemptions in the NFL or any sport.
There was this Miami Dolphin in light of the Incognito incident who compared the NFL Locker Room to corporate employment. The stadium, practice facilities and team vehicles are an extension of a players employment space. The lockers & benches are equvilent to a cubical work space. Therefore, NO SPECIAL TERRITORIAL HAVENS SHOULD BE CARVED OUT FOR CONDUCT EXEMPTIONS FOR NO PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE AND EMPLOYEES OF PROFESSIONAL SPOR ORGANIZATIONS.
There was an Afican American player from the Miami Dolphins who compared the NFL Locker Room to corporate employment. My brother of African lineage has accepted the perverse, distorted & corrupt value system of what bonding should be. My brother, the locker room is the athlete's office and an extension of their employment. The bench the players sit on and the lockers they use is their office cubical space. When professional athletes like Incognito reports to a game, stadium or practice facility they are in a work environment. This is how they earn their pay check. Therefore, NO SPECIAL TERRITORIAL HAVEN SHOULD BE CARVED OUT FOR CONDUCT EXEMPTIONS OF NO PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE AND EMPLOYEES OF SPORT ORGANIZATIONS! Get educated my brother!
Richie Incognito, an OLD NORSE VIKING-LIKE CELTIC SAVAGE is nothing more than an OVERT TERRORIST RACIST who has been allowed to thrive by like minded individuals in the NFL. Overtly COGNIZANT his behaviors are well chronicled. His motive is to seek glamour, recognition & publicity through controversy & terror. Adam Scheftner had the audacity to compare Mike Vick with "OVERT COGNITO'S" behaviors on GMA when there are NO comparisons. "OVERT COGNITO'S" behaviors are repugnant and consistent and his dismissal from the NFL is long overdue!!

It's about time technology makes our life better right? I am proposing an idea for any app developers out there. Make an app that allows me to take short videos with my phone and it then compiles the videos chronologically like a video collage seen here. This guy did it for an entire year and it's pretty cool!
Taylor Swift's latest single "I Knew You Were Trouble" is a beat heavy club song that is sure to be everywhere for the next few weeks. The video has just been released and it's a new gritty Taylor Swift that we get to experience. Do you like Taylor Swift's deviation from her 'country girl' roots?
Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City's Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.
Good new stuff on the charts seems to be few and far between, kind of. This week we add The Cab, Jonn Hart with French Montana, and Owl City. Check out videos for the new stuff below! Let us know if you're listening to something we need to playing in the comments at the bottom of the page

As with any worldwide known musician, the man behind GOTYE, Wouter "Wally" De Backer, was once in a smaller much less known band. The band is called The Basics and Wally was on the drums and also did lead and backup vocals. Crazy to think he went from being the man in back to the
Outtakes -- in both photo and video form -- from Rihanna's GQ cover shoot have been posted, and it's about to get really hot in here. The cover itself, featuring RiRi in a cropped leather jacket and using her hands to cover her lower lady parts, was scorching. The outtakes are no less heat-seeking.
With the 90's at Noon just about to start up for today, I thought I would share this little gem of a video about why MTV doesn't play music videos any more. It's a goof about the reason for sure, but it makes an extremely valid point to the complaint about lack of videos
So far so good!! We've finally have some snow in Bozeman! Join us as we pray for more snow tomorrow night at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. The Pray for Snow Party (PFS) is legendary and this year marks the return of the bon fire feature of this event
A bunch of colabs in new adds to Bozeman's KISS FM this week. Luda goes dancy with David Guetta and Usher on "Rest of My Life". Calvin Harris teams with Florence from Florence and the Machine with "Sweet Nothings". Newbie from Britain Conor Maynard hooks with Ne-Yo on "Turn Around". Pink's moving "Try", Hunter Hayes crosses from country to pop with "Wanted", also Macklemore and Ryan Lewis make it to regular rotation with "Thrift Shop". Watch the videos below.
Every four years, we in the US go to the polls to elect (or re-elect) a president. And yeah, we know the political ads that seem to run endlessly are a downer, and we know voting itself can be a pain in the ass -- but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take part in the process anyway.
If you haven't already voted, we encourage you to do so. And while you're waiting in what could be very long lines (take some water and a snack, srsly), maybe this helpful guide detailing which celebs have supported each of the major party candidates will keep you entertained.

I can remember the first time a touch another guy's penis like if it was yesterday. I was in 8th grade and I was still doubting my sexuality although I knew I was attracted to guys. I had a friend who lived down the street who I always hanged out with. He was in the school's soccer team and he was pretty hot. His name was Javier and he was in my gym class. It all started when I first got a glimpse of his penis in the locker room and here is the story.
One day after our gym class we were in the locker rooms changing from our gym clothes. We had just finished doing some laps around the indoor track that we had at our middle school. The entire class was changing like any other gym period but this time I dared myself to walk into the showers.
Never before had I walked into the showers because I was too embarrassed to walk naked around a group of guys. I was too afraid that I would get an erection once I walked in. So this time around, I wrapped a towel around me and decided to take a peek ;) There were about five guys that were taking a shower including Javier. I looked at it for a while, by it I mean his penis, until I catched myself just staring at it. And guess who was staring at me. Yes, Javier was. Immediately I left the showers and changed to my regular clothes and walked out of the locker room.
Javier never confronted me about me staring at his penis. He never mentioned anything and we still would hang out like normal. About a month after I had seen him naked, he was at my house playing video games just like any other time that he would be at my house. We ended up somehow talking about Playboy magazines and how his brother had a stash of them in his room.
We ended up going to his house to look at his brother's magazines. We simply were flipping though the magazines when all of the sudden, he began to rub his pants. I couldn't help but look at him doing that. He then catched me looking at him and he told me to put his hand inside his pants.
At this point I felt really awkward. We were in his brother's room looking at a Playboy magazine and he wanted to get his dick touched. I really wanted to do it but I didn't want him to think I was gay.
I said something along the lines of, "No I cant do that, that is gross."
He then replied, "Its not like you didn't like looking at it in gym class. Don't worry its not gay to touch a guys dick."
WTF! How can it not be gay to touch another guy's dick! Anyways I went ahead and did it. He loosened up his pants and grabbed my hand and made me stick it in his underwear. He was very hard. He just made noises and closed his eyes as I began to move my hand lower towards his balls.
As I kept moving my hand around I began to freak out. Will he tell people we did that? Was I gay?! I removed my hands from his underwear and told him that I should probably go home.
I ended up going home thinking of how great that was but how scared I was that someone else would find out. We never talked about that time and we continued to hang out like we used to. Later I will put up anther story about him that has to do with more dick touching ;)

How is it going, fellow restaurants?
Good good babe. How are you on this fine day?
We are doing well, thank you! Anything new?
Lookin good panera
Shut the fuck up I have breadsticks.
I have better breadsticks
I have better bread. Period.
I cheated on myself by eating lunch at McDonald's today.
what do you even do in a restaurant relationship…
what do you even do in a regular relationship…
What do you even do
You drink Coke…
(via lemmetelluathing)
Well, doors are open and custard's all ready to go.
Time to go see what sort of new drama has happened in the restaurant gijinka harem anime during the morning rush.
Also… is there a Dutch Bro's blog yet? I could seriously use an iced chai tea latte right now.
Good morning culvers!
Morning, Subway! Might I just say, you look very fresh this morning?
nutella is gross and i will not eat it ever
steak is good
hot dogs are also good
dessert is always better
try our ice cream
We have dessert as well as pizza and god-like sandwiches.
Barq's rootbeer too holla
but like what if it's just one person running all of these restaurant blogs
or what if we are all run by actual talking buildings
or liquids
all i see on my dash is a bunch of restaurant sass
And a tall, refreshing blog such as myself!
So apparently Texas Roadhouse is in love with Longhorn Steakhouse, but Longhorn Steakhouse doesn't love them back. Instead, they're in love with Denny's and Denny's loves them back, so all I can think of is Les Mis and Texas Roadhouse is just standing there in the rain singing "On My Own".
sad right. we've grown to not love them anymore because rude
Would anyone care for a refreshing beverage?

Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal
A variation on Rapunzel, Towering is entertaining. The characters are likable, and the plot incorporates several unanticipated twists — yet something is missing. Perhaps the problem is that the source of the story's magic is never really explained, or the lack of believability of the central couple, but what cannot be denied is that while the novel is enjoyable, something prevents it from fully meeting the high standards of Flinn's readers.
After a personal tragedy, Wyatt is sent to the middle of nowhere to live with a person he has never met. Rachel's spent years sitting in a tall tower, with only the company of her domineering mother. Separated by miles and drastically different lifestyles, the pair will meet and, in doing so, discover the true reason their small town has been declining for years.
