Civilian Yelled 'Gun' Before Nassau Friendly Fire Incident
MASSAPEQUA PARK, NY (PIX11) – Some eyewitness are now saying that a Nassau County police officer was shot and killed by an MTA officer after a civilian yelled "gun," according to James Carver, the president of the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association.
Plainclothes Special Forces Officer Geoffrey J. Breitkopf, 40, was shot and killed Saturday by MTA officer Glen Gentile in the front yard of a house where an armed suspect, 21-year-old Anthony DiGeronimo, had barricaded himself inside.
"Friendly fire is when there is situation happening where you are exchanging fire with the bad guys, this was nothing (like that), the scene was already over with . . . it was in a clean-up mode," said Carver.
Authorities are still investigating how it was possible that the friendly fire incident happened, considering that Breitkopf was shot roughly ten minutes after DiGeronimo, police said.
Around 8 p.m. police received a call of an armed, suspicious person walking near Front Street, and multiple officers responded to the scene. Two uniformed officers chased DiGeronimo inside his house, where he barricaded himself in a room.
The officers shot and killed DiGeronimo after he opened the door and lunged at the officers with "Rambo-style" knives in both hands, police said.
An unidentified MTA officer that had also responded to the scene saw officer Breitkopf, a 12-year veteran, in front of the house dressed in street clothes holding a rifle.
It was at this moment that officers on the scene reported a civilian yelling "someone's got a gun," according to Carver.
MTA officer Glen Gentile, who is now on medical leave, shot Breitkopf in the head, killing him.
Officer leaves behind his wife and two young sons, 3 and 6 years old.
A funeral will be held for the 12-year-veteran this Friday.

SMY Christmas Tree :)
Poll: Fake or Real? When will you- or did you put it up :)
Poll: Fake or Real? When will you- or did you put it up :)
(11) Comments
Ours is real. We just got it last night, so it is still settling. We are going to be decorating it tomorrow. Here it is before decorating.
EDIT: I finally got 5 minutes to upload some pics since we are juggling jobs/schedules and all that.
Here is our tree. Real one, although I have asked DH if we can have 2 trees next year (one real and one fake)
We have a fake tree. I've had this teeny tiny tree for about 6 years now and I still like it. It's good for the small condo we have (any bigger and we'll have to put furniture away in storage!). This year I changed the theme of our decorations to have a bit more of a vibrant and whimsical look.
Removed Photo
Here is our tree with my and the pups! Our theme is Red, Silver and a touch of gold. The tree skirt is an old one from my mom. We've needed a new one since forever, but we just can't find one that we love.
EDIT: Our tree is fake. I've been raised on fake, so that is what I'm good with.
First time I've ever done a fake tree, yet I'm LOVING it!
We went with Targets old Birchwood Collection, accented with brown, red and a touch of gold! I'm in love<3
We have a fake tree. I prefer these ove real because I can minipulate the branches and they hold the heavy ornaments without a problem... although, I miss the smell soooo bad.
Loving all these trees - I've updated my post with our tree! : )
oooh becca! Im loving your tree. Its so big and fluffy! I bet your home smells so much like CHRISTMAS.
Thanks Jaryce!!! It does smell so awesome! I've also been baking all day today, so it definitely smells like Christmas in our house. : )
The trees are looking great ladies!
Here is ours, our first in our new home!
We put it up on our 1st anniversary this year (12.4.11) which is a week later than I normally put a tree up, I typically like to get it either the Friday or Saturday after thanksgiving. We have a real tree, (we always have real) a Fraser fir, which I prefer over Douglas firs since they have thinner stronger branches, which hold and show off ornaments very nicely. This year's theme is gold with glass icicles and white snowflakes.
What a beautiful tree mis1110!!!

I realise that, hence why it has been clipped. However many Aussies and Kiwis that I know feel that the southern cross is more important than the union jack

I realise that, hence why it has been clipped. However many Aussies and Kiwis that I know feel that the southern cross is more important than the union jack
I tried the fish eye, however it didnt look good. I could just redo all the flags as rectangular....depends on what people would want
I think that if it included the centre point of the jack and at least parts of all the stars it would give a better sense of the flag itself maybe a slight scale with black margins to fill in the non flag bits at top and bottom would work. Again this is just my personal prefference of it but I do feel that national symbols should warrent a certain level of integrity... eek, someone is going to assign me to a rest home after that statment :)
with the jack being at the centre point, only 1 star can be seen on either flag...is that acceptable?
I didnt mean that, having the union so that the edge is centred, means only 1 star can be seen....is that acceptable?
I may have explained badly, I meant having just a bit more than one half of the jacks horozontal length in view so the bit in the middle of the jack where all the points meet is visible on the circle. A little scaleing on the current one should achive this an allow for the stars to be visible, the far star could be only half visible just so long as it is there to complete the southern cross.
http://www.1st-cav.org/New-Zealand.png is that acceptable?
Or would you prefer I edit the stars to be closer?
I like the square ones, reminds me of playing on my Spectrum.
Plus I made the Leicestershire one and I like it.
I hope you're going to add in the Buckinghamshire county flag, most counties in England are included but we're forgotten :(

War Ready by Rick Ross featuring Jeezy – Classic or Not?
Is War Ready by Rick Ross and Jeezy a Classic?
So the long awaited collaboration with Rick Ross and Jeezy has finally come. What do you think about it? I was on WorldStarHipHop reading through the comments and several people were bashing the song. Some of them were saying that Jeezy's verse was dope, however they were hating on Ross's verse and the chorus. After I listened to "War Ready", I wasn't very impressed either. For some reason I was expecting both artist to spit classic verses. Both Rick Ross and Jeezy could have came harder, the hook could have been better, and the beat was average. I kinda expected to hear something comparable to "Air Forces" or "Hustlin".

New Artist – Neion Deion "Urban College Mixtape"
Who is Neion Deion? Neion Deion, a new Atlanta hip-hop artist, mixes a more conscious outlook on urban society with a brash delivery. Inspired by the classics of UGK, Outkast, and Kanye alongside budding artists like Kendrick Lamar and Big KRIT, Neion formulates an approach to southern music that is more insightful and less commercial. His mixtape Urban College highlights the battle between institutional and street success.
While listening to Neion Deion's "Urban College Mixtape" on Datpiff.com I was very impressed with his music. What grabbed me the most was "Late Nate" featuring Kaedus. This song is a true representation of underground hip-hop in Atlanta. I expect much success from this artist.

New Female MC on the Block – MissteryThaMovement
There's a new female MC making noise all through the streets of Atlanta. Draped in all-black she is hitting every open mic and showcase and shutting it down. Style so different you'll never find another female MC "Masked Up, Pretty As F*ck" like MissteryThaMovement says in her hit single "PlusTax".
"I can't ever remember not loving music" says Misstery. Performing from a tender age of 8, Misstery has not only grown into woman but she has grown in her artistry. Every performance she delivers perfection as she defines it "Giving the very best of yourself". Her hard core style of rapping mixed with a true message empowering females is what makes her so unique as a female MC. Not to mention the black mask, black cape, and black gloves of course.
At DaIndieSpot's last artist showcase I had an epiphany as I looked into the crowd. I finally realized what the name MissteryThaMovement meant. I noticed how everyone in the audience who had never witnessed her performance had a puzzled look on their face as she took the stage. So to them, it was a "Misstery" as to what she would say, what she would do. As she reached the end of her performance, I was amazed to see how she had the entire crowd involved in her set as if they were present for her rehearsal and knew exactly where to jump in. All around the room there wasn't one fist in the building that wasn't in the air. Thats when it hit me. What had started as a "Misstery" to a crowd filled with strangers had then evolved into a "Movement", now, to a crowd filled with supporters.
Currently you can find MissteryThaMovement all over Atlanta GA promoting "Girl Power" and performing her hit single "Plus Tax". "Atlanta is only the beginning" says Misstery. From the blocks of ATL to a block near you, you can bet money that MissteyThaMovement will soon be ringing bells WorldWide.

Snow Storm Shuts Down Atlanta – State of Emergency declared in Georgia
In the past, whenever it snowed in Atlanta, it usually started at night or early in the am. Well on January 28, 2014, the snow decided to come down heavenly before noon. Since the temperature didn't get above freezing today, the snow caused the roads to get very icy during school and work hours. As a result, people all over the city are stranded on icy roads unable to make it home to safety and their love ones.
Many students, both young and old are stuck in school or on campus until the roads get better. Many travelers are unable to make it home from work, seeking shelter and having to abandon vehicles until the roads clear. According to news media, the situation is not expecting to get better until tomorrow. In fact, Gov. Nathan Deal has signed a state of emergency declaration related to the winter storm for the entire state of Georgia. Keep Georgia in your prayers!
Read more: State of Emergency declared in Georgia
Now it's 24 hours later and some people are still stranded in the snow storm. News media has been covering the storm since it started and showing clips and images of the results. It seems to me that everyone is pointing the finger towards Atlanta's mayor Kasim Reed for not handling the situation correctly. During a press conference this morning with Mayor Reed, he was asked very difficult questions about preparing for such a disaster. Why didn't you cancel school? Why didn't you prep the roads with salt? Why? Why? Why? He answered the questions with concern and very intelligently. He also spoke with CNN, check it out below!

nice shampoo
I like using this shampoo in combo with the rahua volumizing conditioner. I find that yields the most volume and bounce in my hair.
By Lindsay on February 13, 2014
Great Natural Shampoo
Of all the natural shampoos I've used, this is among the best. It left my hair shiny, soft, and tamed the frizz. I didn't notice much of a scent, however, and it doesn't lather all that well so I had to use a lot of product to get my (thick) hair clean. But still an excellent product overall.
By Aisha on March 6, 2014
Volume, volume,volume!
My mother doesn't spend money on herself except when it comes to shampoo. She loves her Kerastase and I was trying to find a natural alternative for her (I also clearly wanted to see if the hype was true, and was dying to test it out myself. Two birds, one stone). Turns out, it is all that and more. My hair (which is on the straighter side and falls flat 2 hours after washing) was full of body, as was my mother's (she has hip length poker straight hair). She swears that this shampoo is just as good as her Kerastase, if not better. I love the scent, too. The price is a little steep but I circumvent that by washing with a little cheap shampoo first before using this. A little goes a long way if your hair is thoroughly wet. All in all, we both love this product. Dirty product replacement: mission accomplished.

While Jules Faulkner is taking a little break from her fantastic comic Promises Promises, a few of us other comickers stepped in to take her place. Click the pic below to check out my contribution!
I can finally clue all of you in to what we've been up to here at Mission Control for the past few months! It's really exciting news! I've been working on an Ellie on Planet X GRAPHIC NOVEL!
I've been in touch with top people who think Ellie would make a great story, and we'll be presenting it to publishers when I finish getting my submission together. There's still a lot of work to do. I'm writing a script and then have to do a large number of sample pages. This is going to keep me quite busy for some time.
That's about all I can tell you for now. I won't be updating the comic here at the website any time soon, but I'll post some things to the blog from time to time to keep you in the know about goings on here at Mission Control.
Thanks again, all of you, for following Ellie and Jeff and Muffin all these years. And prepare for more of them to come!
Here's a few things to share with you that I did during our break at the good ol' Strang Institute. First is a little snippet of a pinup drawn by the amazing Denver Brubaker, creator of one of our favorite webcomics, Tales Of A Checkered Man! He asked if I would add some colors and here's the results (at least part of them). You can see the entire pinup in issue #6 of Aw Yeah Comics!
Next, I met up with some other comics creators last week for a sketch night and drew this little pic of each of our respective characters, featuring Joe Foo's Desmond, Jay Fosgitt's Bodie Troll, Mike Roll's Apooka, and Ellie, of course!
And then the always awesome John Martin added the incomprehensible Vordak to thwart any do-gooding our heroes might attempt!
Don't forget, Ellie returns Monday! See you then!

The quality of life of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review
Quality of life (QoL) describes an individual's subjective perception of their position in life as evidenced by their physical, psychological, and social functioning. QoL has become an increasingly important measure of outcome in child mental health clinical work and research. Here we provide a systematic review of QoL studies in children and young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and address three main questions. (1) What is the impact of ADHD on QoL? (2) What are the relationships between ADHD symptoms, functional impairment and the mediators and moderators of QoL in ADHD? (3) Does the treatment of ADHD impact on QoL? Databases were systematically searched to identify research studies describing QoL in ADHD. Thirty six relevant articles were identified. Robust negative effects on QoL are reported by the parents of children with ADHD across a broad range of psycho-social, achievement and self evaluation domains. Children with ADHD rate their own QoL less negatively than their parents and do not always seeing themselves as functioning less well than healthy controls. ADHD has a comparable overall impact on QoL compared to other mental health conditions and severe physical disorders. Increased symptom level and impairment predicts poorer QoL. The presence of comorbid conditions or psychosocial stressors helps explain these effects. There is emerging evidence that QoL improves with effective treatment. In conclusion, ADHD seriously compromises QoL especially when seen from a parents' perspective. QoL outcomes should be included as a matter of course in future treatment studies.

Here's an interesting fact: Aspen Trees are a clonal species- they can spread by runners. One of the largest organisms on Earth is an Aspen grove in Utahs Wasatch Mountains that has 41,000+ trunks.
That inspired this:
No Man's Land:
5000 years ago, a druid (whose name is lost to humanity...) of great power picked a large and remote island devoid of human life as his home, choosing a grove of aspen trees his most sacred space. At some point, he chose to cast Awaken upon one of the aspen...and the entire grove came to life! He had forgotten that Aspen spread by runners...the entire grove was actually one plant- and now it had a mind equal to his own. He trained it in the ways of the druids.
Eventually, death found the druid, but his greatest student lived on. Eventually, the Aspen grew enough in power that it began to experiment with Awaken itself. First, it made other Aspen and a few other mighty trees as self aware as it was, forming the Green Council, each a druid, cleric or mage in its own right. They, in time and in turn, granted awareness to some of the animals of the forest...bringing them into a society ruled by the Green Council, each day's food created by powerful magics.
As decades passed, the island became a great druidic haven, but still unknown to man.
1000 years ago, Man came...and he was not ready for what he found. The animals and trees welcomed those who resembled the one who had made their haven possible, but the ignorant sailors who found the island hunted for food for their journeys, and were driven back by the island inhabitants. The sailors returned to civilization to tell tales of the mysterious island to the East, where both animals and trees thought and fought as if men.
The Counci's research of the civilized world (directly and through its awakened, shapechanged agents) has brought them much information about the destructiveness of man...and also solutions as to how to fight back. Those shapechanged agents often lived lives among the so called civilized men, bringing their children, natural shapeshifters, back to the island. The Council did much the same.
Now, the island is inhabited by more than trees and awakened animals. Alongside them now live natural shapechangers and other curious hybrids of man and beast or beast and plant...all members of an insular society on the island.
And they are leery of Mankind's intent.
(In game terms, the island is inhabited by Awakened Trees of the Green Council (each with 20 levels of some combination of Druid, Cleric, Wizard or Sorcerer, some with Epic levels); Awakened animals (any class, Rangers and Druids most common); Anthropomorphic Animals (see WOTC's Savage Species); Shapeshifters (see WOTC's Eberron, but instead of being linked to Lycanthropes, they are linked to Druids); and Woodlings (see WOTC's Monster Manual III).IAAL...and an MBA. No, really!

War in the North; my current campaign is quite generic, but the party is enjoying it. They're all members of a military group guarding the northern frontier of a dwarvish kingdom. To the north lies the home of ancient enemies - hobgoblins, giants, orcs and ogres. A new leader has arisen among them, and an ancient evil sorceress has ben awakened to join forces with him. Soon their armies will march south...

The Long Road: The modern world that we know has a hidden partner, Gaia, the realm of the fey and the magical, hidden from us for over a thousand years. Now, though, even those few who knew of Gaia are mysteriously barred from traveling between the two worlds, and the Bureau, law enforcers and keepers of secrets, are unable to protect mundanes against magical threats. Chance lands a group of travelers in the same Greyhound bus as the only man who might have the power to repair the breach, but they must survive terrorists, ghosts, assassins, and far more ancient and powerful foes if they are to succeed. Indeed, as they travel this long road, they must decide if magic even should have a place in the world, or if it should be left to fade away.

My current brand new campaign:
Beyond Boundless Space and Ageless Time.
200 years ago, a catastrophic event led to the fabric of reality between the Prime and the Far Realms to become thin and torn. The beasts that poured forth destroyed much of civilization; those who survive huddle behind the warded walls of overcrowded cities, ruled under the iron fists of the incanters (who need Forbidden Lore to learn the proper incantations).
If it were not for the fact that the outerbeasts are not acting in unison, humanity would have been wiped out long ago. Recently, however, they have been acting with something insidiously resembling purpose...

A few pieces of my campaigns, past and present:
The Apocalypse- a series of terrible events presages the end of all things, when Tharizdun will awake and devour everything. Pools of blackness, called Pools of Tharizdun, are starting to appear, and they grow when things enter them (being devoured). Ultra-powerful Angels of the Apocalypse appear, able to destroy even gods. The pcs must go on a desperate quest to gather the pieces of an ultra-powerful artifact granting control of space, time, matter, energy, space and time in a last desperate struggles to stop Tharizudun from devouring Nature itself.
Of Sound Mind the Halfing Way- a group of halflings begins a series of adventures that will eventually lead them to a quest for the halfing Promised Land. The campaign follows themes of psionics, madness, prophecy and, of course, food. After we play this group my face often hurts because I laugh so hard.

Karanos - In ancient times, the first emperor made a bargain with Death to gain his power. The current emperor tries to cheat the bargain, but the backlash destroys civilization as you know it, and seals away magic for hundreds of years as bizarre undead wander the land. The heros died when Death punished the empire, but they're revived by a brave chieftan in the dark days, hundreds of years later, and with their rebirth, magic begins to reenter the world. Can they set right what went so wrong so many years ago, or will all life end at the hands of undead monstrosities?

Beneath Castle Grimstead
Goblins lairing in the ruins of Castle Grimstead spur a call to adventurers. Delving deeper into the ruins, a darker evil is discovered. The heroes discover that the goblins (along with drow elves and vampires) have been collecting victims for an ancient vampire known only as The Elder, who is seeking to create a new blood pit for himself in Faerun. The heroes must fight their way through a tribe of goblins, a drow coven, a sect of vampires, and countless guardian monsters to make their way to The Elder's blood pit, free any captives, and drive the Elder from Faerun! This campaign arc should take PCs from levels 1 - 11.
The Elder's Return
After having escaped destruction at the hands of powerful adventurers, The Elder returns from his refuge on The Barrens of Doom and Despair. With the aid of countless vampire servitors, a myriad of undead, and yugoloths from the Barrens, The Elder prepares to wage war. The true peril of the land lies in the eclipse that has settled over Faerun's sun! With the Elder's magic plunging the world into eternal darkness, the ancient vampire's army of daemons and vampires has surged up from the ruins of Grimstead. Can the PCs help turn the tide of this horde, shatter the eclipse darkening Faerun, and finally cast the Elder into the Void forever? This campaign arc should take PCs from levels 11-20.
Into the Barrens
With the armies of The Elder crushed and his eclipse spell disjoined, the heroes must follow The Elder into the Barrens of Doom and Despair as the vampire desperately escapes. It is on this infernal plane that The Elder has made his home, and it is up to the heroes to track down and destroy The Elder once and for all. Their trek will take them through the crimson landscape and into the frozen wastes of Loviatar's realm, to a great glacier where devil lords rule and guard the true sanctum of The Elder: a pocket plane full of the ancient vampire's most-deadly guardians and servitor vampires. The final confrontation with The Elder is at hand! This campaign arc is set for epic levels.

text: Watching historically successful companies tumble like dominoes, I have been curious about what it takes to survive in tough times, for individuals and corporations alike. Have the secrets of success changed? Comparing what we know about today's business triumphs against what worked in the past, it seems the old rules do still ring true: success comes to those who work with multiple core values and a wide array of planning strategies.

Alexander Rybak in the Greek TV show "Pame Paketo", 13.10.2011
Alexander was the guest at the popular TV show "Pame Paketo" on Alpha TV in Greece. The episode was aired on October 13, although the shootings for the show had occurred on September 30. The show is about reuniting people who have been apart for years, by sending them a package. In this case, several of Alexander's Greek fans, who had not met him for 2,5 years, were the package senders.

text: Incumbents raise significantly more cash in CD-2, 4, 6, 7 By: Gary Grado July 16, 2010 , 5:24 pm The old axiom that it pays to be the incumbent holds true in Arizona's 2nd, 4th, 6th and 7th Congressional Districts, where the office holders have considerably out raised and out spent their challengers, according to Federal Election Commission campaign finance records.

Born: February 22, 1913
For more than seven decades, Texas-bred George Buddy Tate graced the American jazz scene with his hard-blowing tenor saxophone style. A resilient tone with high register inflections in the so-called Texas tenor sound distinguished Tate among his swing era colleagues. He was a member of the Count Basie Orchestra during the late 1930s and 1940s and later became a bandleader in his own right
By most accounts, Tate was born George Holmes Tate on February 22, 1913, in Sherman, Texas. He began performing in 1925 while still in his teens when his brother handed him an instrument and asked him to play tenor saxophone with the family quartet called McCloud's Night Owls. Tate and the Night Owls learned to play largely by listening to recordings by Louis Armstrong and mimicking the sound. The band toured professionally for the next four years, after which Tate continued to play the horn, performing with a series of territory bands and with circus bands until the early 1930s when he toured the south-western United States with Nathan Towles' band. During those early years, Tate spent time with Terrence Holder's band from 1930-33 and toured with Andy Kirk's Clouds of Joy in 1934-35....

Muammar Gaddafi in death, below Hans Holbein The Younger's great "Dead Christ," in the Basel Kunstmuseum.
Images of Gaddafi, taken Thursday as he was battered and bleeding and then dead, are everywhere, and everyone should find them hard to look at. They operate as war porn and gore porn, not much different from the ton of less newsworthy carnage that floats free in cyberspace, and that probably shouldn't. But we still need to look at the Gaddafi shots, I think, because pornography is only part of their story. To my Christian-trained eyes, there's huge pathos in these images, regardless of the monster they show. And to other, maybe Muslim eyes, they may depict the real, repugnant Gaddafi.

The French Worker's Jacket – From Bill Cunningham to Price Gouging
There's few men more respected in this industry than Bill Cunningham, and while I could go on for days about what the illustrious New York Times photographer has done for this industry, today I want to focus on one small attribute that I have always admired about Cunningham. As he races around the city each day shooting street style, lead only by his eye and his enviable sense of what's worth documenting, Cunningham has always kept his own wardrobe incredibly simple. Cunningham's remarkably stripped down wardrobe consists of nothing but khakis, a button up, and his now legendary French workwear jacket. It's been said that Cunningham buys his jackets at French hardware stores for dirt cheap, and while I'm not sure if they could still be found there, the story does check out, as the jackets really did begin as nothing more than inexpensive smocks for the working class.
The jackets first came about during the nineteenth century, and their distinctive blue hue was actually chosen out of mere necessity. During that period, indigo was an incredibly cheap dye, and for the working class it was just dark enough to cover up any stains that would occur throughout their day. The design itself was, and still is, loose and unstructured with numerous pockets across the front to stash whatever may be needed for a given job.
Over time what began as a practical top layer for the French worker became fashionable, partly due to Cunningham, but also largely thanks to the recent Japanese and American interest in workwear. Deadstock, and even faded out blue French worker's jackets have became more desirable than anyone could have ever predicted. Stores in Japan now sell the jackets alongside classic Barbours, Levis, Aldens, and the ilk, while in America they can be found throughout various vintage resellers, as well as at stores such as Hickoree's who sell deadstock models straight from France. Granted, don't expect to find them for lower-class prices anymore, as the hype has driven the cost of the jackets into territory that is borderline laughable. They might've began as a cheap throw-on for the blue collar worker, but these days the cost of one jacket could certainly wipe out an entire week's pay. Guess that's the industry for you.

Morgan Freeman really likes oceans.
So yesterday I got myself a moleskine notebook for several pathetic reasons…
1. I want to start each and every day by writing down a list of goals that I'll never reach. Not now, not never.
2. I want to start writing down ideas for film projects that'll absolutely never see the light of day. Not today, not tomorrow, not infinity.
3. I want to write down lyrics and jokes for my comedy album that will never happen because the sun will explode first.
4. I'd like to try to draw something every day. Unfortunately for you guys this one might actually happen.
Anyway, if you examine my pathetic list you'll see that I conquered three of my eight goals today!!! Sadly they were the easiest three conquer, but I reckon a false sense of accomplishment is better than no sense of accomplishment. And to be honest, I'm actually pretty happy with how Biff and Lorraine turned out. Biff's beard is looking strong, and I rather dig Lorraine's haircut and mouth.
Finally, this "Daily Journal Thing" might become a regular thing, I dunna know. Feel free to unfollow this blog if you originally followed me because you thought all I did was post photos. Seriously, it's cool, no hard feelings. I wouldn't follow me if I was me, that's for sure.
And so it begins.
The water will soon teem with life.
To celebrate I'll be ordering Vicki a red cap and a speedo.

It seems Terrell Owens may be visiting the Oakland Raiders. This has not been confirmed, but speculation has been circulating on this possibility.
Via an odd Twitter chain that started with ESPN's John Clayton, who has neither a ponytail nor a Twitter account, surfaced on Linda Cohn's Twitter page and then migrated to Adam Schefter's Twitter page, the next stop for T.O. "could" be Oakland.
It would be quite a sight having T.O.'s career come full circle should he return to the Bay Area.
